host: long ton, n.y.. caller: good morning. -- long island, new york.caller: you have the ability to make clear so many complex topics, a professor. you spoke earlier about how the government was compromised by financial incentives to allow this current economic crisis with which we now find ourselves in, for buy it seems there is an ability to govern because of the race for money, or the race to control, or to undermine what is ethical. the case in point would be a part in and then the revoke pardon of theban bankster robert isaac t., he had taken hud money in one year and every government dollar available which he funneled through his operation. in the end patent thousand dollars in restitution and basically got away with it. he ultimately got a pardon, but then when he pointed to malfeasance in the pardon process it was then revoked. is it possible for the university to explore that topic? because that is a quintessential example of where government has no longer honored the rules. if it had, we would not be in this situation. guest: you have to unde
