that quip speaks volume about the idea that under nixon's new federalism, the next president after lbjd the possibility for the federal government to put more control at the state level and at the state level, to ultimately be able to use political favors, as had always been the case, for the purposes of realigning political parties. so we know that through the language of l"law & order," we know a retrenchment to civil rights, through the tropes of black militancy, we began to see the federal government divesting in the very infrastructure that is possible as a result of the civil rights act, but needs money. and so that new federalism is picked up by reagan. then you have a retreat against affirmative action, which becomes the duel end of the spectrum. the black mass is profiting at the end of whites and the black poor is becoming depend on government services. all of which you continue to see social spending under the reagan administration in the 1980s go from 12% of the budget to 3% of the budget. so everything that potentially made possible the growth of something that we might ca

new kind of frontier. we really need a different form of government in which it is true as nixon said. if the president does it, it is not illegal. we have no choice but to leave it up to him to decide what to tell us. >> you can see this discussion on national security whistleblowers tuesday starting at 8 p.m. eastern here on c-span. >> i want to thank our distinguished ranking member sprawled the work they have done. a lot of us have lost a lot of sleep. when secretary paulson came to us about a week ago, he gave us a three-page bill that said give me a blank checkbook and put $700 billion into it. i was offended at that time. what happened since then? we added 107 pages of taxpayer protection to that bill. we understand the gravity of the situation and we work with our colleagues on the other side to make his bill a better bill. we made sure that there is upside for the taxpayer so that when this happens, when profits come to these companies, we get this stock warrants so the first person to get the profits are the american taxpayers. we make sure that there is an insurance program

to richard nixon creating the environmental protection agency and endangered species and clean air and water acts. we had a lot of outrage with the bp spill for about six months, then the newsycles forgot about it. meanwhile, its "in ot just dolphins being killed or sea turtles, the gulf of mexico is dying. we're using it as sort of an industrial canal or something, and it needs a lot more love and attention. and bp has reneged on numerous promises that they are going to do for the region. they still can't get the right stat on how many gallons of oil spilled into the gulf. there's constantly -- they're constantly trying to find loopholes about paying into a conservation fund. they haven't given a nickel to plaquemine's parrish there in the gulf. >> do you think that the government has followed up with any meaningful action? have we learned anything on a policy level since the deepwater horizon explosion? >> no, not enough. it's a longer conversation about the mississippi delta, and the channelizing of the mississippi river and the way we need to rebuild the wetlands. but i think the obama administration has an opportunity right now, second term, to at least say, what are s

new solid proof there's no longer such a thing as a private conversation. for all practical purposes, we are talking, all of us in this country, in the same room. this richard nixonted white house recording system, that archived his attempt at covering up his henchman's role in the watergate break-in. think about the 47%, that one could argue, cost mitt romney the election. think about how that sweet little number of his swirled around the country. had he never said it, had it never been recorded, just imagine how that campaign might have gone differently in its final months. think about how romney's strong first debate performance might then have proven decisive. well, today, thanks to the recording by a former girlfriend, we see how a powerful man, donald sterling, has been brought low. sterling had no idea that his words in that one-on-one conversation would become a topic of national conversation. multiple attacks on him, and finally his being shunned left to right by practically every public voice in the country. the big question is whether this decline in privacy, escalating with each new technological advance, is a good price to pay for cleaning up this co

new world for us. i think it is really kind of the old world. eraarted in this index and -- in the nixon era.you are not on their christmas card list. it always is tough. we should remember that. work eight hours a day, maybe you need to work 10 or 12. cul-de-sacs, by curves way for people to come home. it was not the grand life that i thought it would be that "the new yorker." are honest with yourself, you probably do not sit on the curbs enough. >> i will say one thing from your standpoint, what i imagine would be your standpoint. also,k the press needs, to make sure that when we do push hard and make our calls or something important enough to publish when the national security community says don't omit it really should be important enough to publish. should think about something that serves public interest. not every secret is equal. just because you find it out does not mean you need to put it in the newspaper or the magazine. anyway, there has to be an important public purpose when you take that on. >> peter. >> following up on your point about sitting on curbs. it depends on who's curb

new kind of threat here. for which the constitution, 200 years old, was not suited. we need a different form of government. nixonsaid, if the president does it, it is not illegal. we have no choice but to leave it up to him to tell us what to do. what we get with that type of judgment is the judgment that george the third had during the american revolution. you get vietnam, iraq, and much more seriously, the possibility to this day, outrageously, of nuclear winter. that could come from the alert forces on both sides that have no excuse whatsoever for existing now, and putting the entire world in jeopardy. you have a great deal of information about the climate than what they have yet told. that is why james hansen, i think left the government , recently. he was being found and squashed for trying to warn us about what was coming with the climate. we need more oversight, we need independent branches, and we need whistleblowers. one thing that would change in this culture, for example, -- i was complaining to bob about the title of this talk. it is called patriots or traitors? not too many people have the opportuni

new kind of threat here. the common -- the constitution was not suited to this threat. we need a different form of government. nixonsaid, if the president does it, it is not illegal. we have no choice but to leave it up to him to tell us what to do. what we get with that type of judgment is the judgment that george the third had during the american revolution. you get vietnam, iraq, and much more seriously, the possibility to this day, outrageously, of nuclear winter. there are forces on both sides. they have no excuse whatsoever for existing now, and putting the entire world in jeopardy. you have a great deal of information about the climate than what they have yet told. that is why one man left the government recently. he was being found and squashed at nine thousands 1988, trying to warn us about what was coming with the climate. we need more oversight, we need independent branches, and we need whistleblowers. one thing that would change in this culture, for example, -- i was complaining to bob about the title of this talk. it is called patriots were traders? -- traders -- traitors? not too many people have the

former counsel to the "new york times" during the pentagon papers case who made the argument which others have echoed that the obama administration has been more antipress than the nixondministration. and in fact has been, has chilled or frozen a lot of information coming out so the press can perform its check and balance function. do you agree with that? >> well i'm not sure that i have the appropriate historical perspective on that but i'm very leery of broad generalizations about anybody being more antipress or less antipress or anything like that. i'm opposed to generally broad generalizations about a lot of things. in the case of stories, you know, we evaluate each one independently. we try to take into account the national security conversations that the nsa and the intelligence community generally has or, the defense establishment has. we look at each one of these things. i realize that they have an interest as well and we all have to come to independent, independent decisions. i view our role as being independent. the word adversarial is not one that i'm drawn to but being independent, we make our own decisions. we're not collaborators certainly but we're not
