you are supposed to have half as many cars able to get gas on any given day rah cording to this odd/even rashing. but still there are still long lines, there are still some very short tempers out there distribution system refineries to gas stations with no power and if you don't have power in the gas stations, you can't run the pumps. so for the moment, at least, and for a couple of weeks, according to mayor mike bloomberg, this kind of scene you are looking at right there is the new normal. harris, for a lot of people. that is bringing back memories and not very fond ones of the gas shortages and the long lines we saw way back in the 1970s, harris. >> harris: i can tell you six days ago they did this over, governor christie did this over in new jersey. it has helped some. still, there are so many other problems on the east coast. we still have, what, half a million people without electricity? >> yeah. that is the biggest single problem in enough. and according to the new york governor, andrew cuomo, there are some ridiculous problems including a simple shortage of polls. listen. -- pole

not really very far from where brigham young worked and not far from pal my rah -- palmyra. well, his insight and balance we'll talk about later on in the program. the other commentators are greg -- craig foster, author of two books, penny cracks and polemics, a critical analysis of anti-mormon panel me tier in great britain, and "a different god question: mitt romney, the religious right and the mormon question." he also co-authored "mormon quest for the presidency," and also the "the persistence of polygamy: a mormon anthology." he worked for the family history library in salt lake city, and there he did research, genealogical research on some dignitaries. john ashcroft, george w. bush, bill and hillary clinton, walter cronkite, sean hannity, charlton heston, larry king, henry kissinger, brian stokes, barack obama, kevin rudd, mike wallace, barbara walters and oprah winfrey. and he can be awarded the prize of the damnedest name dropper in utah.

>> if you could comment on regular rah story issues -- regulatory issues, it seems like to the regulatory framework has stayed the same where financial companies have changed dramatically. for example, insurance is regulated by the states, there was no state insurance department that ever figured out what was happening at aig. nobody was doing it at the federal level. these structures haven't changed. it seems like for competitiveness. this has been pretty much a disaster. could you comment in terms of regulatory environment and framework and the impact on competitiveness. >> okay, thank you. >> yes, my name is lisa with the alaska world affairs council, and something that's of great importance to us and seems very clear is that there's a lot of global opportunity and challenges in the arctic, and, um, there's a lot of abundance of resources, and i use the word abundance on purpose, but we don't hear a lot of talk going on at a national level on plans and opportunities to take advantage of some of those things specifically with the eradication of a law of the sea and going into the arctic

it's not that small collective group of folks around your rah, rah brand of rhetoric.t's how we communicate and how we govern. part of our loss on those two fronts we had huge missteps. the ground we gave away on taxes, the tax debate, the ground we gave away on simpson/bowles and a number of areas where we could have carved out the grand bargain undergirded by conservative principles was a missed opportunity. >> mark, after a year and a half of campaigning and this debate over ideas we have a re-elected democratic president. we still a developmentic senate and a republican house. it's basically status quo. so why should people watching today, why should the american people today think anything will change in washington? >> well, for one thing, which is generally cast as a potential disaster and nightmare for the country the fiscal cliff that andrea mentioned, automatic spending increases are coming that run fathomable. i think the only thing harder to comprehend than how to solve it is not solving it. it must be solved, and i think out of that our politics will change

in a post arab spring dee mock rah advertising of this region, also u.s. interests shift here. how does that new context impact what we're seeing? >> should the interest interest shift here and include actually take in consideration how the middle east changed radically, with this operation in gaza it shows you that israel's strategy didn't change. take into consideration whatever take place in the middle east. and egypt. they don't have mubarak to broker any deal with them. they don't have any more -- even the jordanian king, he cannot afford to be seen in this moment with up rising in his country as the guy who speaks to israel. they have to negotiate directly and that guy is the guy they already killed. you know, i was interviewing the head of internal secret service and he said a year ago when there was a case in the public domain, he said we're negotiating with hamas today, when nathaniel said he would never negotiate with hamas, because they want -- i said what do you mean. netanyahu doesn't want any political settlement with the palestinians and he will try to throw this

caller: i heard a bunch of rah- rah win one for the kippur stuff that we have heard for the last four years, and we know over the last four years obama's speeches are not followed up with any severe to get action. a couple things, i am troubled a couple days ago, i see him getting off of air force one with harry reid, that i did not see in getting off air force one with mitch mcconnell or john boehner. that proves more how partisan this guy is. host: did you hear the president say he is inviting congressional leaders of the white house next week to talk about the fiscal cliff? caller: i did, and it is just a bunch of other empty rhetoric to me as he has already said he will go around congress if he does not feel he can work with them. that goes to show at the end of the day at the he has got a little more disdain for republicans that he leads on. john kasich and mary taylor in ohio, they have proven in their state that you can balance its budget without raising taxes one bit, and of of events are dead on. we do not res to -- we do not need to raise taxes one bit, and maybe i'm crazy,

according to my polls, you know, for the past decade if you look at where we started, wheral ya're rah -- al-jazeera in the 1990s had very little viewership in places like morocco in north africa, but last year half of the republic said al-jazeera said it was the first choice for news and another 20-30% said the it was the second choice for news. so just to give you a sense of how the local national media became marginalized over time, and that has been the story of the whole decade. >> let's start going through, you know, tunisia. good news story, so far so good? >> yeah. i mean, tunisia had a unique history in colonization, and i think that, um, what we've seen come out of tunisia so far is very promising. i mean, especially if you look at it compared to what's happening, say, in the even libya. >> um, we'll get to libya in a second. egypt. we have a new leader, president morsi. i know and you've got to go through the definition of what is an islamist. there are good islamists, bad islamists. but for a president morsi, what is he contending with in terms of constituencies? he's got c
