government agencies like the national endowment of democracy, u.s.ded agency, now headed by cement the powers, can you talk about how the united states basically funds civil society groups in various countries to foam at opposition to governments that it is opposed to? >> i just reported a story from haiti which is undergoing a major set of protests. these protests have been going on for the past four years, getting very little attention around the world. people are on the streets. they are desperate. fuel prices have are escalating beyond believe. there's been no commentary about this. ever since the assassination of the head of government -- ever since his assassination, ariel henry has been placed on -- in the government by the united states. he was effectively put there by the so-called core group led by the u.s. interesting when you look at his own record, he emerged in the struggle against aristide. mr. aristide needs to be in the innes book of world records because he is the only world leader i know who has been couped twice by the united stat

monticello has received grant from the national endowment for the humanities for an exhibit. the declaration, which is wonderful, but the guides often claim that jefferson did not mean all when he wrote all men are created equal. so there is some question over whether or not the content of that exhibit will be accurate. as far as solutions i would offer to maine buckets, one solution is what can we do about these now? and couple of solutions would be choose who to support. mount vernon is doing a very good job right now and we need to help them hold line. so choose to go to mount vernon over some these other places. another advice would be if you do go write an honest review of these and indicate what do you think they are doing well and what? doing poorly in ways they could improve in the long term think the solution needs to be terrific nice, that this is a very broad project and the word is vigilant so the national trust for historic preservation that owns montpelier owns 27 historic sites along around the country. they have almost. $50 million in assets and have a grassro
