we have the panama canal, the panama canal was something that was very important to american strategic interest. had a lot of americans have been an animal for a long time and president h. w. bush, george h. w. bush solve the kinds of criminality in the noriega regime, a lethal effect on at american serviceman and other reasons including drug trafficking, what he didn't think that government was legitimate any longer so he overthrew it. and perhaps for putin this is an analogy to what's going on now in crimea. here's why it's not a good analogy about we've got to get them away from this kind of thing. first of all noriega had proven himself to be a dictatorial monster. we learn more and more about why yanukovych is a bomb and whose position that yanukovych is the only leader of ukraine but you can make a legal argument but it doesn't hold water. so we've got to get putin off that but maybe this is part of why he thinks in these terms. secondly, the panama canal get would not be a good one for putin to invoke because we declared from the outset we are going to stick only with a minimal

in 1977, carter gave away "our" canal to some place called panama, enraging a man i like to call ronald reagan. ronald wilson reagan was born in 19 -- what's that? wrong library? okay. i'm sorry. let's get him on. okay. in 1979, president carter negotiated the camp david accords, which brought peace between egypt and israel, marking a period of tranquility in the middle east that lasted almost 20 minutes. during the oil crisis, carter set an energy conservation example at the white house, where he turned down the thermostats wore sweaters to keep warm, installed solar panels on the roof and attached a windmill to walter mondale. 1979 also marked the beginning of the iran hostage crisis, when our tehran embassy was stormed, and 52 americans were held hostage, resulting in a low approval rating for carter, and an even lower trip advisor rating for the iranian embassy. rescue attempts failed, because, sadly, add the time, ben affleck was only seven years old. [ laughter ] on july 15th 1979, jimmy carter gave his infamous "malaise" speech, which, interesting note, didn't actually contain th

that is going to be coming through the panama canal. 86% is coming to or going from the united statesyet we have only a few ports to accommodate them. what are we doing? this used to be a straightforward proposition republicans acknowledged as well as democrats. there is some hope here. recent discussions between the president of the united states and the speaker of the house, because we have been pushing democrats, saying, maybe we do need to fund a highway trust system because it is owing to be bankrupt and be out of money in september or october. the generic point i want to make is we know how to make things work. it's not rocket science. there is a portion of the other party who is not conservative. it's just antigovernment. i think they masquerade and don't deserve -- i shouldn't say don't deserve, but i don't think it fits to call them conservative in the traditional sense of conservative political thought. it's about antigovernment, so we propose corporate tax reform, which we think we need anyway, and take the $150 billion into infrastructure. imagine in your states, you are n
