let me get pat in now. pat? do you agree? >> well, in many cases, these foreclosure mitigation things are basically trying to keep someone in a home who shouldn't be in the home to begin with and basically they cannot afford the home or are chasing the real estate bubble and there were people fraud lengthily duped into loans where they shouldn't have gotten them and those people deserve a little bit of our pity. but separating them out from all of the folks who basically couldn't afford the house, and can't afford it today, is virtually impossible. and, frankly, there is no good solution to the mess, and, it is simply wait it out and let the housing market bottom and let the market clear. >> julia. >> we are going to... they shouldn't have taken the money if they didn't think it was something they could accomplish. >> who, the banks? >> the banks. toeb. >> go ahead. in response. >> i mean, remember, during the financial crisis, the banks got three messages, number one, for most of the banks, we'll force you to take money and

pat, forget ph.d. from m.i.t. i want to ask this question because i think it's critical, and that is we talk a lot about human intelligence. when you have these various pieces of information -- and i don't mean to sound naive about this, but isn't there even some sort of information sharing in a computer program that would send off a little beeper? >> chris, you're exactly right. >> right. >> when these things come on, okay, the guy's flying the atlantic one way. he's buyi ining a ticket with c. he's got no luggage. he's a young guy. he's been in yemen for a while. can't get the visa in britain. put the information and give him a patdown before he gets on the plane. he may not be on the no-fly list but he certainly should be on some list. all of us, chris, i'm guessing you have -- i know i have -- i have been pulled out of line at times because you're anxious to get aboard and don't want to miss the plane and they checked everything out two, three times. why wasn't that done? the point here, the proble

security screeners patted us all down. in my case the officer patted me down from my shoulders down to my toes. he checked underneath my jeans, around my waist, and all of our hand luggage was taken apart and inspected very closely. you know, i've been flying to europe several times a year for nearly 15 years. this was the most extensive screening i've ever gone through, at least in brussels. on the flight itself, a united airlines flight, the pilot turned off the in-flight map system for passengers about halfway over the atlantic, and we were required to remain seated for about the last 25 minutes of flight or so. >> tom cost le, nice to have you back. thank you. >> thanks. >>> now to yemen and an apparent new threat to americans from al qaeda causing the u.s. to close its embassy there. nbc's mike viqueira is at the white house with more on that. mike? >> reporter: good evening, lester. today a white house official says there are hundreds of al qaeda members within yemen, that middle eastern country where the fight again

go ahead, pat. i think you wanted to jump in there. >> yeah. there have been some democrats, almost a dozen or something, who are stepping down in the house and they've got some problems in the senate. but i really think republicans ought not to get in too cocky about this. the probability, i think, alex, now is they could carry as many as 25, 26 seats, which is the same number as ronald reagan lost in the bad times in '82. but i think this idea that somehow we're going to capture the 39 in the house or 40 in the house you need or the 10 in the senate i think is almost an impossibility. i do think this -- the democrats' 60 votes, the veto-proof majority, i think that is a goner for good. >> so, does that mean that capitol hill comes grinding to a halt, pat? >> hopefully, mm-hmm. >> oh, come on. >> no. look, alex, you know what's going to happen, i think? i think this 60-vote nonsense is going to be called into question. people are going to say, hey, look, you know, you can't filibuster the renaming of a post office. let's cut this out. and the

pat said at the outset the importance of voter registration. only audience that counts on election day are the people who are eligible to vote. if you're not registered to vote, you don't have a voice on election day so obviously what we want to do, again, using rifle-shot precision is to make sure as many folks who support nra and the second amendment and our candidates as possible are registered to vote so they can cast their ballot on election day. they can take that ultimate step of volunteerism and actually vote on election day. because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how many envelopes you stuffed or how many signs you distributed or how many stickers you have in your vehicle, if you can't take that ultimate step of flipping the switch for our candidate, you're selling yourself short. so we want to first make sure as many folks are eligible to vote and then we have to motivate them to turn out to vote. so again, we use our magazines, we use our website, we use our personal staff resources, we use our phones, we use email to promo

i think pat is absolute i had right to say that this -- absolutely right to say that this was not the right way to handle this terrorist but monica's right that this was the way we handled the shoe bomber. we're meant to be the good guys. we're meant to say no torture. we're meant to believe in human dignity and the proper rule of law. on the other hand, we are facing an utterly ruthless and implaquable enemy and at some point we have to stop behaving as though we're serious about combating them. i think that the bomber has done a good job of on the one hand trying to be serious about fighting this and on the other hand trying to hang on to the very best of did. >> i think being sear yowts doesn't mean you have to -- serious doesn't mean you have to beharve the way the enemy does. the president believes, and i agree with him, that gitmo has been a wonderful recruiting tool for the jihaddists. >> that's false. >> let her finish. >> how we handle the people that we capture sends messages to the world. >> they don't care, eleanor. thenmy does not care. >> and it sends messages to america

>> well, i would just say that emotionally, pat is absolutely correct. mean, people, you know, on the one hand, they like obama's deliberate, cool, calm approach. he did it with the economy, he did it with this, but you know, at some point, people, they're angry, they want to see emotion, they want to see some sense of anger, but you know, obama is a cool, calm and collected guy and he's not -- he's not a mt. very cuevas out there. so, i think in terms of government that probably governs better. >> like a adlai stevenson, right. >> well, adalay stevenson, yeah, there's a name. okay, guys, see you next hour. thank you very much. >>> coming up, new numbers for the unemployment lines and scary statistics about how many people are so frustrated, they simply stopped looking for work. >>> and later, how five tons of cans may provide one couple with what they need for their special day. ♪ each day is too much ♪ you can never, never, never get enough ♪ [ female announcer ] our bodies need water... and women who drink crystal light drink 20% more of it. ♪ crystal
