as i say, i've been called "naive." i have been on commissions. we didn't always work but we came out with legislation. i was on the iraq study group where five dems and five re pubs had to agree on every word. we suggested the surge. now they adopted about 57 of those. i don't look upon everything with cynicism. i am really a nut. i believe in optimism. i believe that the american people when we tell them honestly where they are -- let me tell you, they are out in the street. you can talk to anybody in this country in laramie or charlotte or dubuque and they will say something is very wrong here. what do we have to do? we're going to try to tell them. >> chris: senator simpson, mr. bowles, thank you both so much for talking with us. we'll follow the commission's work and over the six months please come back, gentlemen. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. thanks very much. >> chris: up next, senator republican leader mitch mcconnell. will the g.o.p. make a deal on financial regulation? some answers when we come back. ♪ [ male announcer ] we call

tavis: i am not naÏve, of course, and asking this question, but why is it that black folk and brown folkbeing hit the hardest? >> it is historical, and that is that there is continued discrimination in the job market. it is still very real. secondly, those with lower education levels, meaning those without high school, those with only a high-school diploma always, in good and bad times have a higher unemployment rates -- those with only a high- school diploma always, in good times and bad times, have a higher unemployment rate. there is a disparity. almost double for blacks, over 1.5% for latinos. they're real numbers are even higher, because these numbers do not count for those who are -- a real numbers are even higher, because these numbers do not count those who are no longer looking for work -- the real numbers. it is a combination. for many african-americans, their class is tied to their race. it is a complex combination of class and race. high unemployment also exists in suburban trinity's, in rural communities. -- also exist in urban communities, in rural communities. it is a comb

i was naive. i was naive. there is no stupid question. no stupid question in general because it was clear to the people i was trying to interviewer was truly interested been the character and humanity in their mission not just shoot them a book but men and women in the united states would understand something like that was very important that happened after 9/11 to neutralize the conflict here we are in 2010 still talking about afghanistan but a shining moment in history it did work for a certain reason and i thought it was an important story to tell. and i had "in harm's way" which was successful and read widely the navy had adopted as part of the reading last-- list for core values there was nice reviews and i felt the book had done something obviously my magazine pieces never would do. it showed me being a storyteller you can move people in a way that i found important is a book about community ultimately. i shift that to the country off of exit four near fort campbell kentucky and got on post i call the affairs officer the special for

is he naive? >> i don't think this president is naive. think he has transformational objectives and transactional style. i think the arab/israeli conflict is perfectly suited to this president's view of the world. the problem is that view the world perfectly suited to where the israelis and the palestinians are right now? and i would say the answer to that is probably no. look, fighting with the israelis over settlements or something else is an occupational reality. every serious or would-be peacemaker does it. but the fight has to be worthwhile. it has to be part of a broader strategy so that the end of the day, after the mess is cleaned up, after everybody's neat and prepared to sign up or show up for the signing ceremony, everybody looks good. the president looks good. israeli prime minister looks good. the arab leader of the palestinian president looks good. you need a strategy. and this administration 15 months in doesn't have one. >> doesn't have one, you say. and the administration you say doesn't have a strategy. they would probab

why -- i'm not naive in asking this but why is all of that so important? it is a book, ian.is a book. and you have approached this like you're trying to win a prize. >> you've got to create for the reader a sense of authority and to do that, you need the smoke and mirrors of knowing what you're talking about, to have been there and talked with who have a sense of what it is like. also the research often gives you ideas. it is not as though you know where you're going when you're writing a novel. it is like a journey. no clear instruction as to what to do every day. yeah, you have here in the states, a wonderful lab up in colorado, in a little place called golden just outside denver, called the national renewable energy lab. i spoke to scientists there where they are working on this artificial photosynthesis and i hung out with them and i wanted to know about the jealousies of science. while this was all happening, the u.b.a. stuff -- it didn't surprise me and shock me as much as it shocked others. in fact, their crimes were fairly small. trying to stop a paper being publishe

department is part during closely with our development partner with usaid which is to say let's not naivelysay they cellphone in and of itself can it be a way that people can become educated rather all the kind of thinking in the pedagogy that goes into developing any sort of curriculum and learning device can't now be applied in to this little piece of personal infrastructure that people in haiti or people in sub-saharan africa or in bangladesh can use for education. i will give an example and it's not an american example but something that the bbc did which i think is spectacular. they treated a program through which people can learn to speak english over a cellphone and they piloted it in bangladesh. in a few weeks they have more than 200,000 in bangladesh learning english over cellphone so that's an example of the things that can be done. >> host: alec ross clown computing becomes more prevalent, how does that play in which you do it the state department? >> guest: it's interesting, the notion of a cloud computing, taking processing power and an evolving from our desktops two figurative

department is preparing closely with our development partner, with u.s.a.i.d., which is to say, let's not naively say, a cell phone in an of itself can be aware that people can become educated. rather, the thinking and pedagogy that goes into developing in the curriculum or learning device, ought to now be applied to this little piece of personal infrastructure that people in haiti or sub-saharan africa or bangladesh can use for education. i will give you one example. it is not an american example. is this something that the -- it is something that the bbc did. they created a program through which people can learn to speak english over a cell phone. the pilot did it -- they piloted it in bangladesh. they had over 200,000 people learning english in a week. >> as cloud computing becomes more prevalent, how does that play and what you do? >> the whole notion of cloud computing, ticking processing power and evolving it from desktops, to figure to of clouds, has a couple of implications. taking inerne -- take internet freedom -- where the content lives and where the servers are is now relevant to inte

we were rather naÏve in this and that we needed to work with industry to ensure that labor laws wereimplemented. we also had to adapt our labor laws to take that into account. would like to think although we were earlier on sort of centered by the national labor committee, we like to think that jordan is a vocal for a country that has responded to these allegations. and we did so quite quickly and we didn't translate the allegation aside or deny it. we said we fully agree. we understand we have a problem. this is new to us. help us. and we released out high and low to friendly countries and i think we've largely put our house in order, both msn for factories and the percentage, a large percentage of factories in jordan have subscribed and this is all very good. and we will never remove all complaints but i think the amount the jordanian government gets what then is to be tremendous. >> what was the reaction in jordan after the jordanian suicide bomb that killed the cia agents as that was a jordanian agent a few months

it is terminally naive. i would hope a man of his intelligence would know it is not only in possible but dangerous. but the steps he took in at redefining our new buehler posture -- nuclear posture is a step toward, as it says in the document, trying to get away from using nukes as a retaliatory threat and i think it is a bad mistake. >> jane, what are the political consequences? >> he is keeping a commitment he made during the campaign to deal with reducing the threat of nuclear war and to deal with proliferation. in that case, politically he is keeping a promise. it now opens up, i think, the first serious foreign-policy debate between the two parties and we will see how that goes. >> here is what former alaska gov. sarah palin has to say about it. >> kind of like getting out there on the playground, a bunch of kids getting ready to fight and one kid says, go ahead, punched me in the face and i would not retaliate. the last i checked sarah palin is not much of an expert on nuclear issues. if the secretary

>> do i, do i for a couple of reasons, call me naive, but first of all, this is so vital to our constitutional architecture. if this is upheld it would fundamentally reshape the relationship between individuals and the government between states and the federal government in ways that are unprecedented in 200 plus years, that's my idealistic side. my pragmatic side says if you look at relevant case law, justice kennedy, the leading justice, the swing vote here, in several cases, including the famous case in '95 called lopez. >> paul: right. >> wrote eloquently about the importance of preserving the dual sovereignty system and how it overly broad commerce clause would actually swamp it. >> paul: all right. >> wrote a beautiful opinion, that's good. >> paul: we're going to be watching this closely david. when we come back delaware and tennessee race home to the top taking home a combined billions in the education reform competition. why those two states. did union politics play a role? we'll investigate next. but only vegetables can give you vegetable nutrition. one of these will get you more tha

and he's not naÏve.e knows why he's invited to dinners with certain people are going to the gas, but he's okay with that. so they were very good friends. sam had very little regard for grant. he didn't like radical republicans. he disagreed with the way reconstruction was being conducted in the south and he really didn't like the scandals that were just lobby the white house and grabbed second administration. he they really seemed to the nation that this union that had been redeemed by the deaths of 600,000 soldiers were falling apart and that corruption was going to overcome the recently regained reunion. so you plant a lot of fat on grant. i don't think he thought grant was personally corrupt anything to him for having recurrent people around him. and i don't really have any evidence of his connection with twain. certainly they were in town at the same time. if you haven't read mark twain, the gilded age, it is the most wonderful novel, political novel about washington and its just vicious in its chara

where as in korea in north korea the believe was and is that the korean people should remain naÏve.it's only logical if you are born pure, if you are born better than everyone else you don't need to be tampering your instinct with book learning. that way you will only dilute them. so it's better for the people to stay true to their pure instincts, for which reason can ill song and the workers party are not fatherly teacher figures instead there protect to figure that as you can see it from this picture, the focus is not on kim ill sung's eyes, the focus is on or his boom to use the korean war. if you read north korean poultry, the poets are often talking about the desire to wrest their faces against this expansive chest and be and both indie parental leaders embrace. here's another example. this is what stalin does at night. he gets ready to teach the people the next day. and that's what kim ill sung does late night. [laughter] >> i showed a slide to one of my classes in south korea and again at the back of the classic navy is taking the coat off. [laughter] >> but he is not. what y

automatically assume that somebody on the left is correct or someone on the right is correct, i think that is naive. but the republicans have convinced me of one thing over the last year or two, and that is -- when you sell out to lunatics purely for the votes, then you endanger the quality of the system at large. what has happened is once the republicans sold out to the religious right, to meet, once they did that, and took positions they did not really believe them because they thought it would play well to the anti-abortion people, to the religious -- the religion in school people, all of those people who have problems with modern life, once they began -- the trick is this. you cannot -- if you have a mob of people screaming for blood, and you say, we should get blood, and they say yes, and you keep saying it. but after a while, you realize that you have a bunch of lunatics who want to tear something up, and if too many of them have gathered, they will stop following you and you have to start following them. that has happened to the republican party repeatedly. >> how many books have you written

i would be naive if i would disregard the people who are victims of generational poverty. it has become so entrenched and institutionalized that they cannot escape the realities. only a few make it out. there is always an exception to the rule. but there is a large segment of the society that is part of a permanent underclass. >> yes. it is just the land of opportunity. there are constitutional rights. there is so much freedom. most other countries are still stuck with governmental problems where you do not have as much opportunity there than you can have here. it is the land of opportunity. it is as simple as that. i can really explain it. i have assimilated into american culture. some people say that is a bad thing. sometimes changes necessary. >> opportunity is, i guess, being able to seek, to pursue happiness. i guess that is what is in our constitution, right? the pursuit of happiness. it is one of our any level rights as american citizens of this great country -- one of the art inalienable rights as american citizens of this great country. -- one of how were ineligib

we were rather ive naive in this. we reached out to friendly countries and i think with largely put our hearts and order. there's a large potential of factories and jordan have subscribed to this and this is good. we will never removal complianccompliance but the waye dealt with it is to be commended. >> what was the reaction in jordan after the jordanian suicide bomber acted a few months ago? >> it is a very interesting question. if you talk to develop and specialists, they will say to us, what do we need to do to rein in an extremist thinking is we need to give people an opportunity. we need to create jobs or they don't exist. this is undeniably true. but as this particular case has shown, the bomber himself was a position. physician. he received a scholarship to continue his studies in madison. he was married, he had two young girls. the material advantage has no bearing on his decisions to become affiliated to al qaeda. it raises the deeper question of -why -- the ideology of any individual can come from any regio

it's naive to say, as ambassador burt was saying, that everyone just signs on and believes that this is a good idea. no. it's a process. it's a place to start. you have an objective. it has to be very defined steps to get to that. but we feel so fortunate, everyone here on this panel, this idea first bubbled up, you said, about 18 months ago, two years. and here we are on the eve of some incredible momentum from our leadership that we hope the movie and global zero will help accelerate. >> let me just address the issue of moving to a broader negotiation. nuclear proliferation happened because of countries' perceived security concerns. the united states obviously was the first nuclear power. the cold war was getting underway. the soviet union off yutionly believed that it -- obviously believed that it needed the capability. then china felt exposed and it needed to go nuclear. china, in my judgment, was probably the major trig tore a serious indian nuclear program. and that obviously led to the domino effect of pakistan and so on. you've got to reverse that. the way you reverse that is

takeoff the table or announce how we might respond, seems to me entirely irresponsible and naive. >>n: are you saying, based on this conversation that caused sleepless nights for you, that the materials are available that we could knock out a town, knock out a small city? this could happen in america? >> of course it could, yeah. smallpox, sure we have agents that can deal with it. we have injections we can give and vaccinations we are not sure how they are going to work. i don't want to mention all the things that are available. security is now my business. i can't imagine why a president of the united states would want to tie our hands and how first of all we deter and how we respond to catastrophic attack the way -- >> sean: last question, do you see republicans winning in november? do you think they are there yet? >> i think we are getting there. i do think -- i can see how we could win the house of representatives back at this point. senate is still difficult, but i think we could. >> sean: okay, mr. mayor, thanks. time to check in with greta for a speak peek on what is coming u

believed in dialogue, with whomever was in power, as distasteful as it could become he also was not naÏveenough to think that great communication skill alone, accommodation, sincerity would bring results. how did he want to portray this soviet movements to move in different direction? >> guest: he believed in negotiation from position of strength, and that was the reason for his initial dose of common military buildup, because he felt we needed more strength to negotiate effectively. he did not think of this as something to use to start a war, or -- but he understood that you need strength to negotiate. unique, you might say, poker chips on the table to trade if it comes to that. but and in particularly he felt he needed -- he had to get across to the soviet leaders that, number one, we don't want an arms race. but if you insist on one, you will lose it. this was one of his goals when he went to the first meeting with gorbachev. he wrote a memo, and he put forward his goals. and one, to name a, i must convince him that if we continue this arms race he is going to lose it. and, you know, t

i'm not naive, and i know the limitations of government and industry.we have to have as you say we need a powerful resurgence in the civil society. we need the neighborhoods of this world to come together and have a very, very important discussion about human nature and the meaning of the human journey. this is not a satiric or academic. i guarantee the reason i wrote this book is that i realize that even e.u.'s visionary plan and even with a good economic plan and the technology to get it done, we are not going to get there. i absolutely don't think we are going to get there unless we can change consciousness in a generation that separates us from our children and grandchildren. it's only if we can have a robust global discussion on rethinking human nature, rethinking the human journey, understanding that we are at our core and impacting creature. we do seek empathy with each other. that is the game plan. when we get old and we are ready to pass on and look back at our life the moments that are the most important is not when we have a new deal in the b

that's so naive. you're not going to be able to take people out of those countries without winning the war first. so the reason he was a better candidate is because -- he was a better speaker. much better charisma. and he really was able to appeal to people's emotions on how washington is. even people who generally might not vote democrat or might not vote at all such as a lot of college students. were mesmerized by him. they heard him say he was going to change washington to being the old white male to the younger fresher face and to be a new kind of voice for the people. and that's what appealed to people. that he was going to change things. and what else appealed to people he wasn't republican. and people were tired of president bush and they were tired of the republican party. and they wanted -- they wanted to give something else a try. and i think that they really started to believe in -- in the idea that if we can have healthcare, if we can have healthcare for everybody if we can have a stimulus

i guess i would naively have thought that was a progressive who was angry about christian fundamentalists. boy, would i have been wrong. this is actually robert bork, a well known conservative who's complaining about the left. see, you always can't tell what's what without a scorecard. the language, the rhetoric, the symbols are all the same. this is basic american culture. we're supposed to be moral but not moralistic, we're supposed to be individual but not ce -- detached from the community. not alienated, yeah, alienated left wingers, right? okay. so not only do they converge in this fashion, but the culture warriors don't agree among themselves, and they are as ambivalent and nuanced as the population, as all the rest of us are. for example, there are abortion rights' supporters who write about the immorality of abortion. who worry about whether abortion is sinful even if necessary and desirable. there are homosexual rights advocates who disagree among themselves about whether same-sex marriage is good or not. and even if it's good, is it a radical idea or is it a conservative idea?

i am not so naive to fail to appreciate that in the extremely competitive environment, or the message of management was not just say no, but must say yes, in the available resources had to be spent on remedial corrections. i believe that ratings provided an important public good. i believe that some ratings deserve some measure of protection from liability and claims of negligence. to the extent that agencies remain wholly private entities, a distinction based on the extent of the public good provided might be made with respect to the products been raided. -- read it. -- rated. the liability for getting it wrong must be a sign to the entities involved. the agencies would redirect some of the extraordinary profit margins in the research and once again have incentive to just say no. that concludes my remarks. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. good morning. i would like to thank the chairman and the subcommittee for holding this hearing on the role of the rating agencies in the financial crisis. during the majority of 2007, i was the managing director in charge o

sometimes, as i was an old school teacher, when we are young and naive we tend to overlook details and those details could be devastating. napoleon lost the battle of waterloo not because he was outmaneuvered but because they didn't look at a detail arbitration bag of nails. you would dismantle the artillery by firing a nail through the firing mechanism so it would be useless. they didn't bring any nails with them. consequently the british recaptured that artillery and wrecked havoc on his forces and every book on what would have happened, always has a chapter, what would have happened if they brought the bag of nails. mr. akin: i appreciate having a history teacher. it was an important and sort of a tide-turning detail that was not considered. mr. bishop: let me turn that into the situation we are in right now because i think this administration is missing a lot of bags of nails that are out there. one in particular deals with our missile program in the future. if, indeed, the direction is not the right direction, we want to change that. we were here last year a long time talking abou

but still, we should not be naÏve. there are challenges ahead.in the first one problem is something having say this and this is why i'm also having some problems within the muslim community since we have to come back to our sources and to come as a critical thinking saying what we are for the kids may be wrong. we may have to reassess our understanding in the lake of the new environment. and we shouldn't do this. in the west as well as in the country. this is why the radical reform and save these are challenges for other moves them sitting in the content free world, not only for the muslims, but for muslim sleeping in the west, they have the opportunities than they have the space he able to promote their thinking and also to be connected to muslim country. so there is no way to cut ourselves from the muslim countries and the muslim bear. it's an ongoing diabolic, but it's on women on understanding secularism come on understanding the very meaning of authority not collect into the past to something which is against religion. it should not be and t

the political pundits, if you say these two things front connected, the timing of it, then you are naive, that's what they say. >> you can speculate all you want. i don't think the people on main street are all that concerned. they are going after wall street who they don't trust anyway because of the implosion of the economy at the end of the bush administration. i don't think the american people are saying this is a terrible thing. the republicans are fighting against regulating the companies. megyn: here is the allegation. it speaks to how political the president is and how -- how we are not -- we shouldn't be taking his claims of -- you can trust me to crack down on wall street. because wait many really about is keeping democratic control of the house and senate come november. >> i believe would like to keep control. this is a political fight that goes on regardless of who's in power. let them pay for the link. i don't believe obama was involved. >> do you think barack obama is going, let me do search optimization in my spare time. most people realize there is a political arm to ever

it seems silly or maybe not, but we took a step to hide the kitchen naives kitchen knifes and put themem. >> reporter: you once said, i will get a gun and shoot you in the neck and then the heart. did you say that to them? >> yes. >> reporter: how come? >> because i just get mad. >> reporter: parents send their children here for about $3500 a month because they don't know what else to do. >> all of the kids have been to the psychiatrist, the psychologist, the therapist, medicated. >> reporter: people who have the expertise haven't done anything for them? >> in many cases. i'm not saying all, but in many cases those modalities failed. >> reporter: they get love here but sometimes it's tough love. there is a lot of snow to shovel, chores to do. they go to school where in addition to the three r's there are lessons in human relations. >> i'm sad because i have been mean and treated my family. i feel sorry for the way i have treated people in the past. the end. [ applause ] >> reporter: it sounds like a feel-good story. it is. and it isn't. that's because the endings are not always happy o

they're cheap anything the debate, not adegreing the issues and attacking the president and saying he's naive. >> sarah palin said that in the clip we just saw, she said you don't come out and tell your enemies what you are or are not going to do because it makes you less threatening to them, your deterrent evapates. -- evaporate the. he responded by saying she's stupid, ignore. >> he didn't say she's stupid. >> of course he did. he said she's no expert on nuclear matters. spare me. >> the larger point is they are engaging on the merits, but again, if you have that opportunity in politics to, you know, hoist someone up as your opponent who doesn't have mucid credibility with the american people, of course you're going to -- >> you no what -- >> megyn: tucker, he also said this trying to underscore maybe not a nuclear expert but he's got those around him who are. listen to this. >> if the secretary of defense and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff are comfortable with it, i'm probably going to take my advice from them and not from sarah palin. megyn: huh, tucker, fair point? >> i covere

and, is it therefore naive, if not foolish, to -- for eric holder, who has been a lawyer for quite a in my opinion it is both, the thrust behind miranda versus arizona, where we get the miranda warnings on law and order and the cop shows is before someone is subject to u.s. civilian law enforcement is interrogated they need to be informed of their constitutional right to remain silent, avoid incrimination and have a right to counsel and a terrorist, like usama bin laden captured on the other side of the world in afghanistan, or pakistan or what have you, doesn't have constitutional rights under our system. >> gregg: right. >> there is no reason to mirandize him. >> gregg: and any evidence that would gather implicating him without a, you know, subpoena from a judge, is excluded as well. so, here's what jeff sessions said during the course of the judiciary committee hearing. he's the ranking member, of the g.o.p., civilian trials for terrorist combatants are not required by law, policy, history, treaty, or plain justice. is he correct? >> he's correct, and he quotes almost verbatim fro

nuclear weapons and gauging from it the audience's reaction, it sounded like it was either incredibly naiver rather ambitious. what we will hear from the president is he'll be leaving with ours and he's going back to prague and he'll say yes. he will acknowledge that the aspiration is far off in the future and that the united states and russia have taken significant steps toward that aim. what will they be assigning here, kyra, it cuts nuclear weapons by a third on both sides, significantly reduces missiles and rocket launchers and will put in place a strong verification program to make sure that both sides are complying with this agreement. what is it about? the president will say this is about leadership, about the united states and russia that, by the way, own 90% of the world's nuclear weapon, that they will take the lead in trying to stop the spread of nuclear weapons. take a listen to the president. >> in many ways, nuclear weapons represent both the darkest days of the cold war and the most troubling threats of our time. today we've taken another step forward in leaving behind the le
