a lot of republicans were more on that tradition more skeptical and eisenhower made it clear when he became president he was going to lead the party in a more international direction and he stayed there and there never was the report nor. >> what would you considered to be quite's successes and failures? >> on the whole he was a very successful foreign policy president. he avoided unnecessary war. there were multiple cases over taiwan and and china, berlin what he means to maintain the line militarily without third world war so that was very useful. he also managed to strike a balance between the fiscal responsibility and the u.s. diplomatic role overseas to insist on the cap to the military spending as a percentage of the gross domestic product and in spite of a lot of pressure he kept it there. much better almost 10% throughout eisenhower's years so the was the context of the time. >> what about the cruise that he got the u.s. involved in iran, guatemala? >> there is no question he was a very assertive cold war ironic because one of the criticisms john f. kennedy made of the eisenh

how many here are skeptics? okay, this is what surprised me. you're a skeptic.alf of you are skeptics. why are you doing this? >> it's mainly to recreate the things that we've seen in our youth. we want to recreate it. this is what we saw. or our minds are playing tricks on us. in the two years this team has been together, would you guys say you're headed to being more of a skeptic or more of a believer? >> i want say more of a skeptic. it sounds like you guys are about to break apart as a group. is that what you're saying? so you guys are nonprofit. if something is bugging you and you can't explain it. go to ebparanormal. they were at a nonprofit thrift store in union city this weekend. we'll show you that in a little bit coming up. happy halloween, by the way. >> same to you, bob. >> appreciate it. i think it's going to be good weather for the trick or treaters. >> and for the adults dressing up. >> i'm machine gun kelly. >> pretty much is. i'm the haggard mom of triplets. >> we are superwoman. i don't know how you do it every day. 6:17 this morning. we're loo

very skeptical about the idea that the u.s. should play a leading role through multilateral organizations. >> when you hear the phrase partisan politics stop the water's edge what do you think? >> well, it doesn't. in a couple of senses. for one thing democrats and republicans of gender differences, liberals and the services have liberal did. it should. in that sense, a principal disagreement. they show up in partisan politics. also the use that sometimes as a kind a political instrument to critique the other side. is just one more element of partisan politics. sometimes regardless of what the president is saying doing. you see that as well. >> one wrote reagan won the cold war. >> i think ronald reagan played a vital part in winning the cold war, the way that he did it was to ramp up pressure across the board. takeover in 1981 militarily, economically, diplomatically, illogically. i think that was one of the factors that forced the soviet union to really rethink their approach. >> to the end of the cold war changed republican

status quo but i don't have much truck with that at all i mean you're a skeptic because i want change and i want to really change the way this country is run i think fundamentally europe is in the mess that she is today because she's trying to do too much by conscious deliberate design the currency is a mess because it's a product of conscious design agricultural policy have fisheries policy how trade policy you know we need to let go and we need to allow different parts of the european continent to do what's best incidentally i would say that that's why the european continent grew to global prominence in the first place it's precisely because we never had the political centralization that russia had that china had the mobile empire that the ottomans had but europe was allowed to prosper in the first place so we needed the centralized europe and i'm afraid i think that means rejecting the whole e.u. project completely so you think that person should leave the correct we should have an in out referendum and i would vote for us to come out of the european union the european union and on

he says skepticism is part of a scientist's job. >> we have to be open to criticism. open to hearing what people have to say. and open to hearing complaints. we shouldn't dismiss anything. we should listen carefully. skepticism is a duty for all scientists. >> muller says his turn around is not a big deal just the result of more available information. research funded by a foundation which discounts global warming. >>> yosemite park officials are asking for help in their third attempt to improve public access to the park while protecting its ecosystem. officials are trying to drew up a plan to alter visitor facilities, parking and recreation and possibly set limits on the number of people allowed in at any one time. park officials are asking the public to weigh in. they will hold meetings, including one in san francisco on november 9th. >>> 4:56. next, planning the next step, the occupy oakland demonstrators come up with a list of demands. we are live at their tent city at frank ogawa plaza with the latest. >> reporter: i'm live in san jose a shark attack victim has be

i'll play the skeptic.und is the most, the hardest to overcome for the skeptics in terms of indicting the integrity of any of the information surrounding paranormal activity? >> i would have to say, in terms of my own personal research, some of the experiences i had at the spiritualist camp of lilydale left me with more questions than answers. during the summer of 2007, i had about five or six different medians in different times and in different places bring through consistent messages from my own father, who had passed away 25 years earlier. and i've read the skeptical explanations that you read meaning into things because you want there to be meaning and so forth. but experiences like that, they happen enough, really, leave you skeptical about the skeptics. >> let's go through some of the things you did with the book. you mentioned lilydale. what is lilydale and what did you do while you were there? >> yes. lilydale is a spiritualist camp that was founded in 1879. it's a community of mediums who allegedl

when you joined the commission as chief accountant no i was not idea of skeptically in fact i thought the euro project was a project of cooperation i thought they were sharing solutions among the different member states so i was quite owners to be able to be part of the european union and also or to be part of our if i had ministry to reform that they were undergoing what happened or what did you find out to make you change your mind when i found out that they had no control on the payments they were making out of the european union budget basically you know they didn't ask if people qualified to get the funding from the european union and i was responsible for the signature of the spain it's so i had the highest responsibility and i thought i needed to know if i was talking to the right person and for the right purpose and they just didn't care and they didn't allow me to make changes to be able to determine if we were making the right paper so what does what does that all mean by this means that you funding is going to people who do not qualify for at least who do not need the fundi

i am a skeptic about that. i am not afraid to say that i am a skeptic about that. why would i put our children's future in jeopardy on science that is not proven? just because there is a large number of scientists that stand up and say that it is man's fault and that is that. we are also seeing scientists saying, we are finding problems with the model. we are seeing evidence that this is not -- there may be some small part that man is playing in this. in taxes, we have addressed this. we clean up our air more than any other state during the decade of the 2000's. it was not the epa regulation. they try to come into texas and take our air over. that was just kill a bunch of jobs. we lowered our ozone levels by 27%. if we lowered our nitrogen oxide levels by 58%. that is what we need to be working on. allow the states to be flexible in how they do this. i will assure you, those of us that actually breed that air and our children breed that air, we will make the right decisions. we do not need a centralized, all knowing, one-size-fits-all federal government telling us
