i believe the last time i was here was when philip strum did an excellent event on muslims in the united states together with the chicago council. so i'm really very happy to be here. and to share my thoughts on how the administration is reshaping the way we combat terrorism in both the short and the long-term. and on the persistent challenges that we face. let me start by talking about the broad issues. and then i'll try to provide some perspective and some context for understanding the threat and the u.s. response. in three critical areas. if i had spoken to this audience a year ago, just before taking office, my view based primarily on what i read in the newspaper and learned at events like this one would have been that the united states had developed very good skills, really great skills at what i call tactical counterterrorism. taking individual terrorists off the street, disrupting operations and dismantling cells. on the strategic side, however, i was concerned that we were losing ground in the campaign against international terrorism. and in particular, that we were failing effec

. >> you know, someone recently said, i heard somebody called goldman sachs now the philip morris of financial services. and that's not a compliment because you can remember before when philip morris was making a lot of money but had to change the name to altria because of all the bad press about cigarettes. now you've got goldman sachs which ones was a very revered name now also, you know, all these jokes about it out there. this is the earnings. revenue up 36%. profit $3.5 billion, up 91%. compensation, the company made a note in its call that compensation is 43% of their overall revenue, which they said is an all-time low, even though that looks like an awful lot of money. all-time low for the first quarter because that reflects new realities in the operating environment they're in, meaning a lot of public pressure about goldman making so much money when the rest of america is hurting. >> come back in an hour. we're going to chat about how much women get paid versus men for the same jobs and some of the gains women have made in the working world. we'll talk to you about that. chri

philips and sony wore them down and everything culminated in this one meeting of the recording industry when the heads of the record labels, colorful characters asking this one guy who was head of electrical records involved in the beginning of mtv and discovered the doors and was thought of as a technology guru in the record industry. though they started asking jack how this cd is going to work and there is this one guy, abc records, very old school record guys, really old school. so i have a question, interrupted everybody. i have cable television in my house and i get a lot of clouds in my reception. what do you think is going on? everyone paused. why are you asking this question and jack stumbled out an answer that it depends if you are in an apartment or a house. that illustrates the closeness that record industry people have had about new technological ideas when they come along. it took a while but they saw the money. it became obvious that cds were selling. there were companies and record stores asking for these huge shipments of cds from japan. these things were really starting

sorry. >> philip? >>çç my experience was differ from my co panelists here. wrote in the first person about what i was doing. there wasn't a lot of archival research. the greater challenge was writing a first book. when i started riding my notes i was living under guard where i had been evacuated. my whole world outside work was a single bunk and barracks. i joked that my choices were drinking or writing. both good options actually. i also wanted -- start writing obviously. with occasional bouts of drinking. for me i was just trying to understand. i was placed in a very chaotic place, a chaotic time in history. i kind of wanted to make sure i got things down on paper because they are hard for me to understand. i wanted to someday get some perspective on what i was experiencing. there is a quote by mark twain that sums this up. i will get this wrong, but he says he learned how to ski in the summer and learned how to swim in the winter. what he was getting at was to really understand something takes a little bit of distance. you need to think back about it. tha

to me, it sounds more like philip -- fidelity to judges rather than the constitution. let me ask you this, do you stand by these approaches that you have written and spoken about? and do you really think that judges should have this much power over the law? and what can be identified as the constitution after judges have finished adapting it generation after generation with changing conditions and judges, what will be left of the constitution if that is your approach? these are things that bother me and these are things that say to me -- well, good question marks in mind as to whether or not you would probably act as a judge. it is one thing to be a law professor and make a lot of hypotheticals and things. we are very grateful to the law professors like you, but what about that? do you still stand by these approaches a as though you can make a lot anything you want to? and you cannot mean that, but tell me what you think. >> first, thank you for extending the welcome to me and to my family. it is an honor to be here. it means a lot to me and to them. secondly, i think

host: philip, on the independent line from illinois. caller: is this rob? host: go ahead. caller: good morning, sir. you hit on something earlier about how they're desperate and many families together to live together as hispanics. i am glad to hear someone has actually admitted that. i have had as many as three or four families lived in one apartment building which is really a deterrent towards the taxation system. each home is basically taxed as one family and that pays for schools, hospitals, roads. with the way many hispanics -- restaurants go down to hire a whole village to come live in the house. for the cooks and everything. then the taxation system is thrown off because of that. so, it is costing the american people a lot of money. these sanctuaries states are basically all in the red. it is because of their policies towards something, towards accepting illegals without enforcing laws. host: what is your question or comment about the senses, sir? caller: i was wondering about ted kennedy's promise to enforce the laws back in 1986, whether they will be followed thro

the first was defense that was probably to of philip as well. what i witnessed would not leave me alone. the first draft that i wrote within months of leaving the carnage of the east timor where more than half of the population was displaced, i wrote to in the first few months and i must say looking back on that now it. the draft that i wrote in was pretty rot and probably served as a personal and psychological therapy more than history. i was advised very graciously by some colleagues to put it aside and to allow some reflection. in the end it took 10 years to put this book together. but there are other reasons apart from the personal i felt i had to write it and i was lucky in the sense i was following this fall place a country of the were than 1 million people who very few people in this room know anything about. the question immediately arises why bother to write a book about a place like this? one of the reasons that compelled me to do this that despite its size in a very small people affected east timor is emblematic of the most important

[laughter] >> i think we have started to talk around some of this. but if we could focus for a minute -- i'm in total agreement that the brief is the most important part. i am very invested in believing that. but there's something about the public role played by women lawyers when they argued before the court that i do think it is a shame that they are so under represented in that role, all lead before the message it conveys, what is this court about, what is this role about? and the numbers are low, they really are. they are not representative of women in population, practicing his lawyers, even a sense of the best lawyers i note, far fewer than 50% of them are women. why do we think there are these obstacles to participation by women? >> do you have the statistics for women law clerks of the court? >> i was born as your impression of that. >> i think it is not much different. >> my rough sense is no. way below 5

i am also disappointed at those authorities to philip to uncover these. the american people, those who invest their hard-earned savings and retirement savings deserve answers. and also the enactment of real solutions. >> mr. chairman, should the witnesses not be present for the opening statement the? >> if the gentleman wants them to be, that is fine with me. are the witnesses here? >> waiting on secretary geiger? >> the statements are intended for witnesses. -- waiting on secretary geithner? >> i've understand. i believe there will hear what has been said. we have a large committee, lots of questions to ask. are the witnesses here, let's get them all hear. let's wait until they come out. >> i do hope that secretary tim geithner is here by the time asking questions. >> i will say the secretary has been very diligent responding to requests. he has never ducked us, and was told there would be statements from the members first. so, any inference -- none should be drawn about the secretary's willingness. he has been very cooperative. the gentleman from pennsy

philip randolph, roy wilkins, and john lewis. when the movement subsided, dr. height's work continued. she was energetic, went everywhere and to everything. she developed women by serving as their mentor and friend. two women i know and worked with in chicago are miss rosie bean and ms. annetta wilson. both of them were willing to call themselves desipeles of dr. dorothy height. she was an unbelievable dedicated woman whose life was the true essence of living. i think the poet may have had dr. height in mind when he penned "house by the side of the road," when he wrote, there are her met toads that live in the place of their self-content. there are souls like stars that dwell apart in a firmment. there are pioneer souls that blaze the pass where highways never ran. but met let's me live by the side of the road and be a friend to man. let me live in a house by the side of the road where the race of men go by the men who are good and the men who are bad, as good and as bad as i, i would not sit in the scorners' seat nor hurl the cynics' ban. let me live in the ho

when you do that, my grandson's, thomas and john and matthew and philip, will say thank you as will livehen he is on the house ways and means committee. thank you, john linder. [cheers and applause] i to do that, in past years, we have been divided within our movement on the best way to fix this broken tax system. something wonderful is happening here today. erful was happening today. we are all coming together. we have different ideas on what is best. we are all passionate about it but we are more passionate about saving our country. five years ago you would not have seen dick armey and i on the same stage because our passions for solution run strong but before our house majority leader who hails from texas in the great state of texas, dick armey, is here today to talk about our unified cost. dick armey, a great american. [cheering] >> you know, i'm looking on the comments of our sense of unity. don't you think having a chance to choose between to get ideas is better than being a slave to a bad idea? [cheering] the first thing we have to do is get rid of the bad idea. let me just give y
