in may 2009, you presented a paper called "roasting the pig to burn down the house."this is about the spectrum. what does that mean? >> this is an abstract of a larger article. this is my view, not the commission's view. my view is that we are moving toward spectrum electability. people can determine what services they want, from the bottom up, rather than the top down. if you want to create the britney spears testing network, more power to you. if people want to subscribe to that, they will, and if not, it will flounder. it may be that people would choose broadcasting, or they would choose something else. my view is, we should let whatever people want our rise. the point of the article was, we are not now, because we have spectrum dedicated to different services, and i think that is a mistake. we should not have the decision made by the fcc, but have it come from the ground up. the last lines were, spectrum regulators of the world unite, you have nothing to lose. i want to be clear, that is my view. i think the commission's view is not necessarily discordant with tha

that's certainly putting the perfume on the pig. you just saw tiger woods' alleged mistress, corey rist and jamie junger on "today" show. she's a fine journalist. she certainly cut tiger woods some slack when she said you spent time in the woods' mansion? i don't know if that's really a correct description of what they did in tiger woods' mansion, according to rist.  >>> do you think that tiger is a sex addict? >> the man that i knew, the tiger that i knew, i would never think that. it was never about that. he never just said come over, and that's what was going to happen. >> it wasn't one woman, it wasn't two, we think the number is up to 13. >> if these women are to be believed, the relationship with tiger woods would go on for a couple years. how he whined about being married to his wife and wished he had met them before he got married. what is that? there's got to be a medical term. >> they delude themselves into thinking someday they'll be the only one, that they'll replace the wife. i do not for one second believe he had real

president kennedy famously by his own admission mishandle the bay of pigs early and learned from it. the hope the president has whatever leadership quality or whatever to learn from the mistakes he made and the way he handled it. he we laid too long in responding to it. the response is too tentative. the reality is the first descriptions by the administration was inaccurate, including the suggestion that everything worked. which doesn't give people a lot of confidence. maybe from now on there will be a quicker response and a more accurate one. >> larry: bush waited six days on the shoe bomber. >> that's correct. >> larry: do you think heads should roll? >> that is up for the president to decide. i don't know enough of the internal situation here to tell thaw people deliberately missed things. think the president has to take responsibility for his own response, which has been delayed and extremely tentative. there is enough time for anybody in yemen who might think we are going to respond to it to go somewhere else by now. it's been a long time to deal with it. >> larry: since 9/11, w

i mean, president kennedy famously, by his own admission, mishandled the bay of pigs early on in his presidency and learned from it. i hope the president has the whatever leadership qualities or whatever to learn from the mistake that he's made in the way that he's handled this. he delayed too long in responding to it. his response has been too tentative. the reality is their very first descriptions by the administration were entirely inaccurate, including the suggestion that everything worked. which doesn't give people a lot of confidence. so maybe from now on, there will be a quicker response and a more accurate one. >> larry: bush waited six days on the shue bomber. >> that's correct. that's correct. >> larry: you think heads should roll here, rudy? or is it too soon to -- >> that's up to the president to decide. i don't know enough of the internal situation here to tell you that people, you know, deliberately miss things or they mishandled things. it looks like they did. but i can't tell you which ones. i think the president's got to take the responsibility for his own response,

earlier he had said, your father had said that america was run by a small circle of powerful capitalist pig and he said, that's not true. so he decided for some reason to convince khrushchev that this was a true by inviting him to meet a bunch of rich american capitalist. and it was kind of funny because they all started telling khrushchev we have no power. what we say doesn't go. if we ask for something, the congress immediately votes against it. which was, of course, pure baloney. and your father recognized that and said, to the, i guess that means i'm talking to the poor relations of america. and they all laughed. the funny thing to me was that they thought, i guess it's silly, that they really didn't have much power, and that the capitalists were not lobbying for greater armaments, which khrushchev believe. but the day khrushchev came out with a disarmament plan at the un, the stock market plunged, particularly the companies that created armaments. which seemed to prove khrushchev's point. and then a year later when eisenhower was leaving the white house, he made his famous speech on tv

after his early intelligence failure, the bay of pigs. president obama echoing that a bit this week when he said, the buck stops here. let's talk about the fallout on the round table. i'm joined by george will, bob riech, liz cheney, and judy woodruff. did the president put this behind him? >> i don't think it's behind him yet. he started to dig out of the hole he had dug himself into when he first said this is an isolated extremist. >> that was the big problem here. al hunt. streams of intelligence from the national security agency for months saying a nigerian was likely on a plot. his father goes to the embassy in london and they failed to connect the dots. >> there was clearly a breakdown. i think they've acknowledged that now. and hopefully corrected it. it's tougher than it looks, though. there are 550,000 people on the watch list. there are 4,000 on the no-fly list. there ought to be more. the way you get there is tougher. some guy is saying the u.s. is the great satan. we ought to do something about that. a lot of people around the

embraced the spirit of a freedom fighter to look up and see barack obama in a pod in a zoo with this pigo me. you know, barack it appears that he does have some part of it is a bully, but he likes to people who bully, but who bully bullies. i don't understand why he would want to be in a photo op with this player from the sopranos. >> bill: what if you were the president, god help us, and this guy walked over with this dopey look in front of the cameras, what would you have done, hit him with the book? what would you have done? >> listen, i would have said, if this guy tries to get anywhere near me with a book, i want him tackled. i want to duck and cover like the old bomb shelter thing. >> first you duck, then cover. >> spain, what say you? >> i find it funny that they subpoenaed, they're thinking of subpoenaing alberto gonzalez as if they had some proprietary sense and going over benicio del toro and cheech marin and quick draw mcgraw. >> and the fact is none of these guys are going to go down there, if that was any more of a kangaroo court, the judge would have a pump. >> bill: person

it wasn't until the end of june or july that we actually sent general pig and his team, it was a long period of wondering what was going on and wondering why we weren't being involved. >> the americans saw that we were coming in in a big way. would that have undermined to a degree your ability to exercise influence over the process in a way you wanted to do? >> it logically follows yes. that was not -- i answered in a different way already. a wasn't persuaded at that stage that it was possible to offer an armored division in the time scale that was required. even later in the process, at one point in october, pretty much assumed the americans had discounted the process for precisely that contribution and were planning without our involvement because we had not taken the decisions that were required in the time scale that was at that stage required. >> general john reese at the end last week told us we had a close relationship with general tommy francs and throughout this, general franks was assuming he would be there. john said he couldn't conceive that america's closest ally wouldn't

by question is to phil bullet, i want to ask him about what will happen to the pigs in europe.what will some of the science fiction from phillip suttle in terms of what it would look like if the tensions in the zone become accessive and unmanageable and it falls apart. >> good question. i'm sure desmond will have to comment on this as well. i worry that precisely because those links are so tight. fair to say, argentina going off conservetivity which is tougher nut to contract. i think what it leads to is the conclusion that you report of -- you report of use the acronym of the country that you mention. they have to tough it out. and you're looking at multi-year awe terrify. you could say we've had multi-year austerity in key parts before. islands being an example itself in achieving a massive reduction over a number of years. somehow the country survived and flourishing out of it. then you have the ability to converge interest rates. they started off high and converged on german levels. you also had an opening up of the economy to the massive influence. neither of those two are

we look at the different events like the bay of pigs invasion or the cuban missile crisis which generate of emotion. there is a big difference in how the cuban perceive this and the united states. united states will look at those crises and say this was during the kennedy administration. for can't -- for cuba this was during the castro administration which remains in power. cubans like to talk about the past and americans like to talk about current affairs. it continues to influence their perception of the u.s. today even under the presidency of barack obama. host: we have another caller. caller: good morning. i was living in florida when castro released the flotilla and sent all of the criminals across. i remember the flood of people that came in and the criminals that came in. a lot of us that work with public relations had to immediately learn spanish to deal with these people. my question is, recently i have heard of the involvement with russia building oil rigs right off our coast. i wondered if that has anything to do with why the u.s. does not want the open relationships with cuba

some of the early protests before they were called tea parties and i actually brought to a roasted pigo the event. after i spoke there was a massive rush of people who wanted to talk and meet me and give me materials and this guy shows up and i had no idea what he was holding. immediately which is what was really curious, immediately these left-wing websites turn around and said, michelle malkin endorses the use of a nazi imagery. she is a hypocrite and a not a lover, etc. etc.. .. propaganda to paint all of the tax revolters as somehow, you know, fascistic or racists. .... >> and now all of a sudden they are manufacturing outrage about this. is to borrow what the previous caller said about the book, that says more about them than it does about me. >> host: much in jackson whaley. thanks for holding. you are on with michelle malkin. please go ahead. >> caller: happy new year to both of you. you know, michelle, i'm a true liberal. i don't judge you by your skin color or your background, or you're a female. i judge you by your mindset and your philosophy you know, you can go and talk abo

those pigs in the joint and even changed few minds when we set president backend for the next 100 years on the sanctity of our balance budget requirement in south carolina and for what you get here on thank you as well. did you know we are the second state in the nation that offers of savings accounts for all state workers and state retirees and that health and budget initiative will save millions? did you know that there's changes we instituted at the front end of this administration with corrections hatching eggs and a growing their own corn for grits and commerce selling jets and prt consolidating programs? millions more have been saved and will continue to be saved in fact if i might, could i ask the entire cabinet to stand up and be recognized for all those little things the you've done over the last seven years in saving the taxpayer money and making a difference on behalf of the taxpayer? what you stand and be recognized? [applause] did you know that $110 million has been saved with the proviso that you put into the budget with the preferred drug list or that we save $1.8 billion

president kennedy famously took responsibility for the pay of pigs fiasco and it proved to be populars not run his own government. it is the people in the intelligence and security bureaucracy in this instanceswho do and it's they who should be accountable. theç final thing i should say , i acknowledge the potential danger of overreaction. i think there are times during the course of the year since 9/11 when our government has overreacted. a good example of that isç the program when muslim men, arab men between 16 and 45 were rounded up and incarcerated for a long period of time. gtmo is another example of that. but i am more concerned about the other reaction. which is underreaction. i think largely since 9/11 we have tended to think that the threat has gone away. and again this incident serves to concentrate the mind. i hope and expect that the obama administration will have new urgency to counterterrorism as a result of it. >> thanks very much to jim and cato for inviting me. i appreciate the opportunity to come. i think one of the things that christmas shows is our intelligence

instead what we have is the states becoming the guinea pigs for the democracy because the states are being controlled by the federal government in a way that is not the way the plern public would like to see it. i thank the gentleman from utah for joining us on the floor in an eloquent and educational format as you always do and i appreciate that in a commonsense way we can all understand as well. i thank the gentleman from utah and with that i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: under the speaker's announced policy of january 6, 2009, the chair recognizes the gentleman from iowa, mr. king, for 60 minutes. mr. garrett: i think he's in the back room. there we go. mr. king: mr. speaker. i ask to be recognized for 60 minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. king: thank you, mr. speaker. you know, i apologize for the delay in getting down here to answer the call of the gavel. there were some distractions daking place around america as we speak. and a lot of america has been transfixed by what has happened this year. and i can go back and

my mom was on welfare for a pig of time and i have worked my way up. i have two beautiful daughters and a loving wife of 23 years and i had been serving the state that i loved. i was raised here and i will probably die here and the thing i have loved about this race is the fact that i have been able to travel all the room the state in meet some great people and seeing great businesses and know what their needs and hurts are and it is made me appreciate in love this state in this country more and i'm hopeful that people appreciate that fact and will appreciate my service not only as a municipal and legislative leader but also my military service and i'm hoping they give me a chance to go to capitol hill and try to fix what is wrong there. >> thank you. we will now turn to a closing statement. the order has been determined by a lottery. the first will be ms. coakley. >> i am asking for voters on january 19th to vote for me for u.s. senate because we need to send somebody to washington who will address these difficult problems and get results. i've done t

he opened up to me here at csis was the failure of the bay of pigs. he felt he let himself down.t he had not performed the way he had performed previously. he went over this privately with me again. he would never write it up because he did not want to hurt anybody now that it was over. he served as acting chairman of the joint chiefs. he would be invited into these meetings and a lab to take no notes and there would be changes made and no capability to analyze whether this was a workable operation or not. burke regretted he did not go to president kennedy to blow the whistle. this will not work with all these compromises. when he did speak up it was during the famous night in the oval office. he told president kennedy he had a destroyer ready to fire. to which kennedy reqplied, we don't want to get involved. burke responded, we are involved. he was not allowed to fire. he never wanted to talk about it after that except privately. he finally retired in august 1961. in his biography professor potter describes how he first attempted to persuade burke to join me in founding a strate

i want to ask phil who what -- phil what will happen to the pigs in europe?at will unwinding in terms of what an unwinding of the eurozone will look like in the tensions become obsessive, unmanageable, and the whole place falls apart. >> good question. i'm sure desmond would love to comment on this as well. i worry preceasely because the links are so light. we have legal structures and physical structures. even compared to say argentina going off convertibility or britain going off gold. this is a tougher nut to crack in that sense if you believe the currency flexibility was the way to go. actually, reversing what was done with the introduction to the euros was tough. i think what it leads one to is the conclusion that you sort of -- i won't use the acronym. but those countries that you mention, they have to tough it out. you are looking at multiyear austerity. you can say we have in key parts of europe before. and it turned out to be not too bad. there are countries, island being an example itself that achieved a massive reduction in that budget deficit in t
