richard. if that's the bad news, what's the good news? >> the good news is i'm here with a very special guest who is without a doubt america's favorite home improvement expert, mrbob, thank you for joining us. >> it's my pleasure, richard. >> now, bob, i had a lot of fun playing a home improvement expert on tv, but you're the real deal. we've been trying to make sense of this report from the u.s. department of energy that says that half of what people are spending on home heating could be wasted. could you explain to us what this means? >> sure. the typical home has a furnace with a forced air system. the heated air is delivered through metal ductwork to each room. the problem is that many homes have bare metal ducts that run along uninsulated outside walls or through cold attics. in those cases, the metal ducts themselves would be chilled to whatever the outside temperature is. and when the furnace kicks on, it has to work to heat up the ducts before it can deliver any heat to the living area. it's the same principle people often see with their hot water in the winter. you turn on the shower and it has to run and run before the water gets hot at the shower hea

very much indeed mr coleman for joining us there in london so do you agree with the fact that islamic militants cannot be defeated using military force. well in that sense david richards is right that there is no military solution in afghanistan there is only a political one. the united states britain and russia are long since discovered over the past hundred fifty years but his analysis that follows is that some are of the britain should remain involved for the next generation is something that i think is going to be very unpopular in this country and is actually probably going to be unpopular the government that wants to have a complete exit strategy by two thousand and fifteen indeed president obama wants to be out by two thousand and twelve but what about this idea of containment whereby the taliban and al qaeda could be contained militarily surely military action in that case is justified in order to work in the interests of regional security and global security well if that assumes that the taliban is a totally insurgent force and that al-qaeda is alongside them in the same action the reality is that there is huge opposition to the occupation of afghanistan by t

mr. bond, i expect you to die. and that's what might happen with gold. >> richard, pretty good.with your theory is that that value of gold has turned into -- when it comes to money the chocolate that you cheated by using. so i'm going to bring you the real thing, the gold standard is a monetary system in which the standard economic unit, a nation's currency, is fixed against a weight of gold. that means the supply of money is strictly tied to the amount of gold that a country holds. real stuff. if people felt insecure about the u.s. dollars that they hold, they could conceivably trade them for a weight of gold with the federal reserve. nobody uses the gold standard anymore because it restricts the ability of central banks to increase or decrease the supply of money, especially during economic downturns. the world now uses a system of fiat money, which is pegged to nothing but people's perceptions of its value. generally determined by the amount of money that's incirculation. the more money a nation prints, the less it's worth. a return to some form of gold standard would stabili

mr. porter says, "the people of the human eye when it enters a dark room." the professor says to ms. richards, "you did not do your homework, and you are doomed to a live of disappointment." that applied to the liberals after 2000. i use that and i will not attribute. it came from al franken. actually, it came from morton, and he forgot. and so for the many freshmen coming in, it is something to keep in mind. the argument about whether voters have swung toward a much smaller government i found quite striking a cnn poll that asked the question of voters. what is the first thing you want government to do in this next year? coming out on top by a very wide margin of 37% was an economic stimulus. i am not sure how that squares with the notion that voters have decided now that what they want to do is take a meat ax to government. what it suggests to me is that while there is no doubt that we have many more people who self identified as conservatives right now that americans are, as they have always been, pragmatic. they go for what works. if a government is working, that is fine. if it is not work

mr. fisher with us today to share some very timely remarks. latest and gentleman, richard fisher. -- ladies and gentlemen, richard fisher. [applause] >> i am very excited that you are going to be holding your next meeting in paris, texas. a nice part of east texas. i understood you had condoleezza rice as a speaker last night. is a magnificent woman. she is a great concert pianist. the only instrument i can play is the radio. it has not escaped me that you invited me to speak in the gonzales convention center. congressman gonzales was wary of the federal reserve, and today in his memory i will operate on the presumption that a good congressman is holding a congressional hearing somewhere in the hereafter and as he did here on earth, called -- has called a cop -- has called upon committee members to account for themselves. i can only account for and speak for my own actions, not that of anybody on the federal reserve board or in the federal system or any of the federal reserve banks. what i plan to do today is provide you with an analysis of the nation's economic predicamen

mr. porter says the people of the human eye. miss richards, i have three things to city -- you did not do your homework, you have a dirty mind, and you are going to live a life of unfulfilled expectations.

mr. ambassador, thanks to both of you. good luck with the movie. >> thank you very much. >>> we have some new information coming in now on that breaking news from ohio state university. let's go back to richard has more details on this. what are you finding out, richard? >> a lot happening in d.c. and osu. columbus, ohio, right now. two hours a bomb threat came through. four buildings evacuated. what we have heard from pete williams. we are learning that an fbi official in washington saying that a message was sent overnight to the public that comments in the comments section of the fbi's website. that sender claiming to have seen paperwork suggesting that bombs had been placed on campus and were set to go off at 9:00 a.m. eastern. that's about an hour and o40 minutes ago. this is the campus and these are the four buildings affected right here. about a four-block distance that we're watching. i just called their emergency hotline and it was updated at 10:15 and still getting more information and not identifying how they found out specifically in terms of who has done that but we have got more information from pete williams. more on that breaking story. we'll talk about 2010 losers that might

mr. president, to insert into the record at the conclusion of my remarks an article by richard poleman in the fill level i can't enchoir -- in the philadelphia enquirer and "the new york times," an editorial on the disclose act. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. specter: the article recites a number of senators who voted "no" against proceeding with the disclose act, having made in the past very forceful affirmative statements in favor of disclosure. it may be that by reminding those four senators, perhaps one of them or two of them -- we'd only need one if the 59 votes hold -- could be persuaded to vote "aye" and proceed to consider the bill. then we have the advocates of mccain-feingold. and if you compare the roll call vote on mccain-feingold, you find that there are a number of senators who voted "no" against taking up the disclose act. senators who had previously spoken out very forcefully in favor of finance limitations and in favor of transparency perhaps, at least one of those or perhaps even more could be persuaded to vote to proceed with the so-called disclose act. b

richards came. i spent most of my evening speaking with her. but it was an eventful evening. >> you say in the complaint over the course of the evening, mr.ink a lot. drink heavily. and his behavior became more and more -- louder? >> he definitely was growing more intense as the night grew. and went on. you know, it's hard to say being that it was my first time i met with him if that was his normal everyday behavior or not. i met >> using racial slurs? >> he seems like a. >> reporter: egotistical person. >> what was he saying? >> you know, i'm not even comfortable repeating some of the things that he said but they were that vulgar. >> but something that everybody recognizes as a racial slur? >> definitely. >> he continues to get up, go to the bathroom a couple times. at one time, you were meeting with denise richards and she said, i'm just leaving. i didn't know that it was going to be an evening of floozis? >> she was definitely taken aback. i don't think she expected to be eating amongst all the guests. >> after she left, you all decided to go back to the hotel room with sheen? >> initially, we had plans to possibly attend a club or go

mr. president, one of the proudest moments as a senator was when i joined president bush, secretary of state colin powell, secretary of defense don rumsfeld, richard myers at the nato summit in prague on november 21, 2002. when secretary-general of nato, lord rob inson officially announced the decision to invite bulgaria, romania, lithuania, estonia, latvia, slovakia, and slovenia to become part of the alliance. that was truly one of the most thrilling days of my entire tenure as a united states senator. later that day my wife janet and i were happy to attend a dinner in honor of the czech president vaclav havel at the prague capital. following that dinner at 1:30 in the morning prague time, i placed a call home. they gathered at the lithuania waneian hall at our lady of per perpetual health to celebrate thatdays historic events. this was truly a capstone to years of effort on all of our parts. mr. president, it is because of my long history and work with the captive nations that i continue to worry about the uncertainties of our future relationship with russia. i have traveled to 19 countries during my 21 trips to the region as a senator. preside

richard nixon. his reply was, i think he's full of manure. not civil. truman aides went to mrs., can't you get him to speak more civilly. you have no idea how long it took for me to get him to use manure, she said. that's what she was dealing with. although truman spoke like that, when the crunch came in 1947, he worked with republicans, joe martin and arthur vandenberg to do the kinds of things that began our response to soviet union and in europe, it allowed us to win the cold war. that's why we honor harry truman. we also honor the fact that he was able to deal with the other side on the manner of absolute national importance. all i would say is we all have to vote for four weeks. david comes from chicago. some of us with encouraged to vote more than once on election day. we chicagoans have a special responsibility. even though of you who are not from chicago and who are voting in four weeks, i would say simply if you don't like incivility, if you like people who can govern across the divide, think about this very carefully as you vote. thank you all very much.
