five additional presidents, two of whom are in fact on rushmore.he sculpture are actually cited in this case to those four would be and they were picked for a specific reason. washington for obvious reasons. tr because of his work in conservation. and lincoln, are clearly greatest president because the most imaginative of any nation which is civil war. i think those are at the time quite appropriate. the historians basically what arguello and played the waiting game is a fun national pastime. that is not what this book is about. it's not an effort to reach a conclusive development on rating the presidents. but the rating game as historians tell it shows a remarkable consistency since 1948 when arthur's a future senior and his son later continued to gain a remarkable consistency in terms of the top seminary presidents. there has been very little movement in historians comments on this issue. truman and eisenhower have very little movement from the bottom up or from the top down. you ask the historical community and basically they come out with a jud

moving agriculture and other goods to markets and allow people to visit great places like mount rushmore and attractions located in rural areas. short-term authorizations are a is apparent and states are taking action. in south dakota governor dugard just this week introduced a proposal to our legislative session that would significantly increase state investment in transportation in south dakota. while we are trying to do our part states cannot do it alone. we need a strong federal program. large rural states like south dakota have very few people to support each mile of federal highway and to be able to maintain our portion of the national highway system. the world population of 7 billion people is expected to grow by 70 million a year and we need to export our crops and products to help feed them. 65% of the truck traffic in south dakota is through commerce, meaning it does not originate in or have a destination in our state but it certainly serves the destination. before closing mr. chairman we'd like tone courage you to do what you can to simplify the transportation program and make

of okies, it is of a terribly hard life people pour off the plane, the whole reason we have mount rushmore is because they are so desperate to get anybody to self the coda, the figure that maybe if they put up a statue on a mountain -- there are so desperate to get anybody out there, they figure that maybe if they put up a statue on a mountain, it will bring people. so here is this image in "life" magazine, and this man is clarence haley long and the interesting thing about this more liberal man -- this marlboro man is not that he just died of cancer, but he was originally on the goodnight trail. why did they start this campaign? why did this happen in 1954? a little thing called brown v. board. this is the idea of using tax dollars. brown v. board was most are medically in those areas, but these are places that are deliberately spun in right wing media where tax dollars are being deliberately used and being taken away from hard-working white people to help a grasping minority. it is no accident, then, that the image of the american cowboy comes along again in the 1950's and absolutely tak

it was no rushmore. >> i completely agree. i am not the world's biggest wes anderson fan.in the academy love this moody or people felt the need to award a guy who has been overlooked in the past. his previous movies, he has gotten a couple of nominations for screenwriting but never got a nomination that was one of the leaders. he gets one for writer director and best picture. that is pretty great for a filmmaker in his position. >> other than this, because the grand budapest hotel was well attended, and well talked about for a wes anderson film especially, but a lot of the others, bird man, they were smaller films. art-house kind of movies. >> yes bird man and boyhood were the two front runners and combined, they made about $80 million in the box office. compare that to a movie like "argo, which made $201 million, or lord of the rings. it is a smaller profit here. i saw it floating around that the nominees have gross more than $4 million collectively at the box office. one thing that may change is that american sniper which just got nominated, is expanding to a lot of thea

he seemed to be an old fashioned conservative with the difference he had an ego the size of mount rushmore. [laughter] >> with me stop you there because i want to read one more. [laughter] >> perhaps the most stinging piece of criticism to failure of the conservatives and their travelers to explain what they were trying to accomplish in iraq remains one of the most disgraceful performances by the foreign policy class and america. and i want to know if it feels good not to have to be so darn diplomatic. [laughter] >> there's definitely an element of that. i call the book outpost because i think there are enough stories about washington infighting and i wanted to talk about people that are out there on the field often having to make decisions on the fly. you don't have time to get some guidance from washington so i really want it to be about being out of washington and i really didn't want it to be about score settling. but for that vice president of hours i had to make an exception you can think what you will about the bush administration or the problems of president bush but i just didn't

"selma" has rave reviews. it's drawing criticism for its portrayal of lyndon johnson. luther king. you know you see a president sort of representing all sorts of pressures and different political points of view that he has to juggle. while king is putting forth his agenda. i think it's a much more dynamic relationship than just an open conversation

i am near mount rushmore. is there an empirical rating scale that they can use to evaluate, like insurance has an assigned risk, to say that this bridge is rated a three and will fall over in the next year or so. it helps prioritize projects. in south dakota, i ran for the house of representatives as a democrat. got 3000 votes. our top two industry are tourism, which we have all these people coming through on the roads which are getting totally beat up. we are the lowest paid teachers for five years in the united states. is there an empirical formula? you want to strip out the politics of it, which is probably impossible. host: i think we got your point steve. guest: before bridges shut down __ they will post a bridge that may have certain weight restrictions, vehicle size restrictions for that structure. if necessary, engineers will go to the point of closing down the structure. that could be a permit shut down, or some major rehabilitation will have to occur. one other comment __ you mentioned you are from s
