so why do we hear the words case closed, stifling debate, and mr. gore, one of the prime advocates of this issue, not willing to take questions? why is it that people who have, you know, there's skepticism about global -- manmade global warming, why is it that they complain like robert gray, former chairman of the american meteorological association, why do we hear from them that they were turned down for grant applications so many times? why do we hear that from a man who mentioned that he had received 13 such research grants prior, prior to the clinton administration and then been totally cut off? isn't that say something when someone of that caliber, a ph.d., a president of the meteorological association, can't get a grant to study the frequencies of hurricanes and even today this man points out, contradictory information. his view is, a man with decades of experience, and credentials, ph.d.'s and credentials in meteorology, says, no, global -- deciding that mankind's human actions are maersking more hurricanes is false and there's no evidence of that

we have fires in california, mr. gore said in his response.himed in a little bit later, by the way, not in the show. one reason we have the fires in california is global warming. let me tell you about forest fires and range fires in california. they occur because it rains a lot in a previous winter. you've all been to california. by the time april 1st rolls around in southern california, there's not a cloud in the sky. the marine layer is thick. and it does not rain until next october or next december if you're lucky. to the point that normally you can support decent fires but the fires become enhanced if the previous winter or the winter before that was very wet. thl9m=9 they become wet is because of el nino that causes excessive rain in southern california. so one could have checked with to warming. this is the intergovernmental panel on climate changes. temperature history for the world. we have two periods of warming in the early 20th century that couldn't have anything of carbon dioxide because we haven't put enough in the air and the pe

on the other hand, we have a task force led by mrs. gore focusing 100% on mental health issues but this time around these folks are much more knowledgeable seem to think it will happen and i cannot identify one person who is in all the central in these conversations. it is not necessarily a bad things that parity has now been established and a lot of the land. but i still gets a little nervous because the most recent piece of big legislation that i have passed, the recovery act, if you said one doesn't and economic depression -- depression has anything like clinical depression, how much specific to mental health was there in the recovery act? o. how i remain a little concerned about all of this as the other reason why, why i don't get really scared about the absence of specifics one of the things that is crucial to the approach that has been emphasized come at the first level about creating a broad framework that will address issues of benefits broadly and a delivery system broad labor costs of not having details about mental health is not

. >> to get what mr. gore was talking about, the overall stigma and try to change not just policy but how people feel about something. what bill was talking about getting a brought home for them, for them to see the connection, those numbers do not multiply. the internet and everyone traveling all over, the connection gets even closer because they're more apt to some as someone who is a in a different situation from them, more apt to know people with different health of elections. that is why there are a lot of different groups talking about the sort things all of these diseases that were not tough enough fibers ago now have organizations. -- that were not talked about five years ago now have organizations. policy is a different thing. if you look at the public opinion numbers and pulls in different states were mental- health parity issues are coming out, there is not that i have seen in any of the polling saying that they support that. also, the have not picked up anything underlying that in focus groups on h

on the other hand, we had a task force led by mrs. gore that was focusing 100% on mental health issues. this time around as these folks were much more knowledgeable about it than i seem to believe we think it's going to happen and i can't identify one person in our community who is involved in this central in these conversations. this is not necessarily a bad thing. in the parity that has now been established, and it is of the law of the land. but i still get a little nervous because the most recent piece of legislation that we just had passed, the recovery act, if you were to say does an economic depression like have anything to do with clinical depression i would be like to know how much specific to mental health was there in the recovery act, zero. so i remain a little bit concerned about all this. the other reason why i don't get, you know, really scared about the absences specific is that one of the things that is probably crucial to the approach is that each of these folks has emphasized that at a first level it's about creating a br

mr. buckley published tipper gore was a dog walking on the hind legs. i was also a dog bites man. there were plenty of young people even in the late '60s but they were not the in people who were not liberal who you saw on television or newspapers. the archetypal young people whether admired or feared were idealistic liberals harry radicals or copulating druggies. he rose or rebels or freaks. here says the editors of "national review" with a kid, high school freshmen who speaks for the unseen. there was one more reaction the most important of all. a blue three by five card with "national review" name and address in bold with the italicized identifier william f. buckley, jr. editor. below that in red ink a message, as something like richard, nice going. congratulations. or rec, a very nice. thanks. in time i would learn that every contributor to every issue of "national review" got such a card from william f. buckley, jr. which did not diminish its value but rather the reverse. the cards were a courtesy in a proficient that often skipped courtesy. over the years i sent many such car

mr. wise and vice president gore and if he was going to persuade anyone he had to focus his attention on kennedy and o'connor and if justice kennedy says could we start here there is only one response and that is yes, justice kennedy let's start and discuss that. in fact what eventually happened was the five votes but ultimately decided this case preferred not is a decidedly election that was the carry over for the florida numbers resulted in some people think the election was only decided by nine people ultimately it came down to justice kennedy, justice o'connor and the three much more conservative members of the court, chief justice rehnquist, justice scalia and justice thomas issuing the procurer am that was an on signed for the court the authorship later became evident was kennedy's and was only because kennedy and o'connor were comfortable with the equal protection aspect that is is every boat being counted like every other vote which clearly was not the case that they were able to muster the five votes even though there is one place in the opinion that says seven of asa agreed and

like a conservative candidate swamping bellcore in all for a liberal -- al gore swamping in a liberal county. guest: i think that mr. mir hossein mousavi, in his own town, was swamped. that makes no sense at all. guest: i was talking to end iranian experts this week in washington. his guess, fairly inform, was that the ayatollah khamenei wanted a big victory from -- for ahmadinejad. the word went out. they all became overly successful, getting into the 60's, when they probably needed an election of 57%, not 62%. they overplayed their hand. all of the thousands of people who are responsible, and the boat got higher than the regime expected. -- vote got higher than the regime expected. it strain plausibility. you might not have had people in the streets were not for a small percentage. guest: 1972, nixon decided to manipulate that election a little bit. guest: i would not want to comment on that. guest: i am saying that the over the top behavior is something that the government wanted to do and it has come back at them. host: basically, according to this, "we cannot fight their battles for them nor, as conservative h
