more than that, the contradiction and changes in nazi policy show that in the 1930s, at least in nazishad no clear idea about the destination. the holocaust as we know it was not a foregone conclusion. only the contemporary records are free from the blinding clarity of hindsight. but why should such documents becoming into like only now? why is there indeed no english-language collection available for university teaching or the wider public documenting the breath and riches of jewish responses to nazi prosecution. for one being, there has been helping of eastern european archives since the early '90s. secretive and a moscow archive with the entire papers of the important jewish self-defense organization, a central association of german citizens of the jewish faith. material now available at the united states holocaust memorial archive, and an important source mark and i could draw on for this volume. moreover, it has been the perpetrators and not the victims who received most attention. we have seen, for example, important new studies exploring the cost of events that caused the holoca

the time. after all, for much of that. i've nazirule, jews may find, but could not see where things are heading. the architects and petitioners of german anti-jewish policies knew how to conceal their intentions. more than that, the contradictions and changes and nazi policy show that in the night and 30's at least even nazis had no idea about the destination, the holocaust as we know it was not a full block conclusion. only the contemporary records are free from the blinding clarity of hindsight. but why should such documents be coming to light only now. why is there indeed no english-language collection available for university teaching for the public documenting the breadth and richness of jewish responses to not nazi persecution. for one thing, there has been the opening of eastern european archives since the early 1990's. secretive and a moscow archive for the entire paper is that the important jewish soap defense organization, the central association of german citizens of the jewish faith. a rich of material now available at t

>> the central nazi boycott would last on one day, but because our own view is clouded by knowledge of the later horrors, we perhaps lost sight of the shot that went to the jewish community at government support of the boycott. this contemporary document who escaped to the u.s. in 1938 shows that some jews despicable misery was unimaginable. as it turned out, however, the following months and years would see surprising variation in german jews and ability to maintain normal life under the nazis. it is impossible to gain an overview over the entire situation, some regions a dozen other. the big city was safer than the small town. some businesses and trade continued large unhindered while in many professions jews were thrown out of their offices. established in the managers were better placed than youngsters barred from education and training. and it was the role of sheer luck. it was unfortunate enough to get so caught up in the dragnet, please arrest and concentration camp like, were exposed to the full measure of not see brutality. abraham was arrested in june 1933 and transferrtransf

when it came to the invasion of poland and the way the nazis went into those countries, into czechoslovakia, even into austria and into poland it was too late. the signs were there from january 30th 1933. nobody listened. they did not even listen to the people that left her told them what would happen. in fact, in germany my parents told me that there were people who went to the concentration camps early and came out and tried to tell people in the community what happened to them and what was happening. they were furious at him. denial. there would not listen. the this part of history, enormously the important for the future. if you wait for the bad stuff to start striking it is too late. >> and died in the museum. for those of you who are here and have not gone to our permanent exhibit, can you hear me all right? those of you who have not gone to our permanent exhibit, the fourth four, this book is the whole for four. i really would recommend that you steady or go on the 44. i would like for you to see all of the things that we talked about here are all on the 44. i would like to add just

"it was the nazis rounding up the communists." yes, yes. let's call the nazis by their real name. the national socialists. okay? communists, this is the european left and the european right. national socialist, the communists have socialism between them. the national socialists, the nazis did round up the communists. okay? but the communists, they rounded up the store owners first. nazis, number two. old and infirm. number two on communist list, farmers and landowners. three, jewish on both sides. do you know why the nazi party is flagged -- the flag is red? why? hitler said to be able to appeal to the communists. get in the boat. we have socialism. no, no, no. better yet, this is what they have in common. big government! that is a european left and right, not american. they are different groups. they disagreed with each other. the national socialist party disagreed on all things. agreed on big government. they didn't want anybody else standing in the way. they wanted to rule. here in america, we don't have rulers. we rule ourselves. correc

many people have commented on the fact that in 1933 the first year of nazi rule, well over 30,000 german jews immigrated, but in the following years, the numbers dropped to around just 20,000 a year. they only taught the 1933 viable in 1938, the year of chris,. with melancholy hindsight, this reduced flow of immigrants at a time when the still a lot immigration seemed evident to german jews misguided refusal to see that the era of german jewry had come to an end. but the following contemporary letter from where fault to the jewish refugee in amsterdam and thousands other like it was a different on events. in 1933, unlike following years, a great many of those german jews who left, did so by illegally crossing the borders of foreign countries, mainly france and the netherlands. there they were in a foreign country with no right to no opportunity to work. the jewish press, including the zionist press, the most was those two immigration was full of horror stories of german jews stranded penniless abroad and full of warnings against leaving without the liquor right to live somewhere else. ma

interest in some ways of what people are feeling than what a jewish newspaper is same for fear of the nazis, for fear of further persecution as well as some of our jewish organizations. so when we read this book how much weight should we give these? at the we have to be to be carei would assert, and giving them all l of equal weight, all of equal consequence. they are all of equal interest. i agree with that point. put your comments please. >> i, in reading this book, fear it is a snapshot of many different times and activities. i think the book covers all the bases, but unevenly, not even. it doesn't assign the same amount of importance to different things. look at the snapshot. different reactions by different people. after all, the jewish community that i knew, it was a great the different community from the very or the knocks to the very e very assimilated christian, a christian. so you have this enormous range of opinion on a great many different activities. so looking on that i think you look at the very rich combination of testimony. that is how i read it. i don't think i need to ass

so it's not a book on the relationship with the musti and what they were doing this shows the nazi systemi think is. he was supporting the resistance to boards what was the project. sprick idled like contextualizing get a long-term alliance with a leading nazi propaganda colavita. to me there is nothing to contextualized. [applause] estimate no, i think this is not the way that it should be put because he was not and once again he he was of jerusalem she decided his own strategy he was not responsible his strategy. he supported someone saying that palestine should be freed from anything which was an attempt to create a state of israel on that please. this is what was his position. now you cannot -- if you should do this you should do this even with the united states of america but sometimes you have allies in specific situations that you are not supporting all of their views. it happened in history even with the resistance supply would say that on that point my text was not about the relationship, it is a lot of very specific position and the specific position is that cannot find an anyth

is james the life of the nazi party? not really. ys the source to "us weekly" he is just a history buff. and david duke is just an avid collector white sheets. i know you are thinking, why are we covering this story when there is a battle going on among turtles? >> bill! >> that was not a battle. that was turtle fore play. that was turtle fore play. >> that is a turmish, by the way, a turtle skirmish. nobody stepped in. that is wrong. >>> okay, should this guy be going to rehab? how can you unrehab a guy that collects hitler memorabilia? >> at this . he says he -- at this point he says he wants to save his marriage. really? look, at some point sandra bullock is gonna have to take some hits here. he was wearing the nazi outfit during the period they were dating and before they were married. sandra, tell us, you are america's sweetheart. what did you know about what your be troated was up to? >> maybe she is just into bad boys. >> she is successful then if that's what it is. >> he is a bad boy. let's dress up like a nazi and make a sal

by the way, should the nazi -- the rise of the nazi party in germany be seen as kind of like the populism steroids? and was that repeated in other places as those years unfolded? >> guest: it was, i think, the great savior in the u.s. was that roosevelt took this populism and channeled it. and sort of appealed to the better side of our characters. we had our fair share of populists who were going on against banksters. but roosevelt sort of diffused that. and i think that was part of his political genius. >> host: let's return to the central characters. you described the unfortunate and untimely death of benjamin strong. the other three central bankers -- how did life unfold for them after the calamity. did they in retrospect see the mistakes that they made? did they reconcile them with the -- you know, the decisions they made and the consequences? did they apologize? did they go to their graves thinking that they had done the right thing? i mean, how did history treat them? >> guest: each in a different way. each had sort of completely different outlook. the interesting one was of the gov

he observes the process were by polish culture is being destroyed under the nazis and the communists. others may be able to speak better to reagan. for john paul, there certainly was a drama being played on a grand stage. the moral forces of good against those that and destroyed moral good in the world. someone else can address the tea party movement on this. it is not clear to me that there is that kind of singular vision coming through. that may happen at some point. we underestimate the power of words. we use words so cheaply now. you can see this in so many of our politicians. something they claim one day, they will take away to good days later. -- two days later, as if it did not matter that they made the earlier claim. words have lost their meaning. john paul is about -- was about restoring the meaning to words and how we use them and that evocative power. >> a quick comment about ronald reagan on that point. he grew up in the cornfields and dixon, illinois -- corn fields in dixon, illinois. he participated in all the plays and competitions. the spoken word was extraordinarily

in the past she has criticized parts of austria's anti- nazi laws, saying they go against freedom of speech. it has caused outrage here. austria was deeply involved in the crimes of the third reich. now it is illegal to deny the holocaust or make statements that glorify the nazi regime. >> i will not give you my voice. >> these days she strongly denies ever wanting to get rid of the anti-nazi laws. she says the presidency should properly represent austria. >> it belongs to the austrian people. anybody who wants to say something must find a person to talk to. >> many austrians thing is a scandal she is running at all. -- they think it is a scandal. there have been protests against her presidency. barbara is not expected to win this election. polls say the current president is likely to get about 80% of the votes. the sensitivities about austria's past still run deep. >> the latest headlines for you. president obama is urging wall street not to fight its financial reform. there are signs of agreement between republicans and democrats. at least five grenade explosions ripped through the

and people in the audience, tea party types were shouting nazi, nazi, nazi. hetoric can create a comfort zone for people who want to take extreme action. >> socialistic health care. there's the picture of the president, the white-faced picture of him as the joker. >> if you're out there calling someone a nazi, what's the next logical step? it's like brad pitt in "inglorious basterds." the republican leadership has been -- >> what about the walrus under water, rush limbaugh? what do you make of him calling this a regime to a d.c. newspaper? he called the government a regime. i've never heard that. this is not stalin or a junta. we don't have regimes in this country. we have franklin roosevelt, we have harry truman, ronald reagan, administrations. to use the word regime suggests to me, like kill the nazis, regime change. >> it certainly does. i'm not sure that republican leadership can stop these if they wanted to. john boehner. >> what about waving the don't tread on me flag? >> they appeared before an audience shouting nazis and referring the democrats and oba

[laughter] >> that is the understatement of the year he is very self-effacing but he was captured by the gestapo and literary waterboarded and tortured for three days and is survived and did not break them bitterly turned the tables on his captors and got tens of thousands of german soldiers to surrender >> host: that author is patrick o'donnell and i title is they dared returned and joined with the subject of his book, fred meyer. >> host: weir at cpac talking about the new book rules for conservative radicals. what are the rules? >> hello to everybody on c-span audience. there was able to book written in 1972 called the rules for radicals it was good with tactics see a 13 and 11 ethical rules or use some of

in regard to a movie theater, the jewish people and nazi your project is to sit with in the balcony. where do we sit in the crows nest? we got to say say way in the back. >> host: the crow's nest for the buzzard roost. just go the jewish people had to wear the star of david on the front and back of the close of the nazi could see them coming and going. we didn't have to bring the patches. pigmentation, skin color was enough to discern who we were. so if those parallels that i talk about in

world war -- 20,000 polish officers murdered by soviet secret services who blamed the atrocity on the nazis, the only of knowledge of the soviet crime was in 1990. today, for the first time, leaders of both russia and poland attended the joint memorial ceremony. they stood silently, and relatives of victims looked on. a judge known for inventing osama bin laden and the former chilean leader has himself been charged with abuse of power. stan's supreme court has charged him with investigation into atrocities during the spanish civil war in the 1930's. the obama administration has authorized the cia to hunt down and kill an american-born muslim cleric, who they allege is a militant hiding in. he is accused of helping plan attacks, including the attempted bombing of a u.s.-bound airliner and the shooting of an american army base. in afghanistan, president karzai fired the man in charge of preventing election fraud. this in the midst of international concern about the conduct of last year's presidential elections. the electoral commission came under criticism for failing to deal with the allegat

this week was the nazi party convention which gave us something to read. why actually this identification of altruism and jury. it seems to me if we really made the effort to fight against all these errors it would be like trying to clear away mont blanc with a toy shovel. today during the speech of eight, hitler, charge that if there is a war it will start with the extinction of the jews. one never knows. only conceits of the nerves of the well grounded observations. no matter what happened we are tied, and we have to stay. >> that was in september 36. a year later confided to her diary that she was no longer so sure that she could or should remain in germany. like former deputy julia's moses reflecting about his grandchildren in palestine german jews were increasingly and sure they would be remembered as a once vibrant and now dwindling community. the question presented self and particularly poignant and personal form for those jews in mixed marriage where non-jewish relatives and park jewish descendants were doing all they could to distance themselves fr

d did not think there is anything balanced about hitler or the nazis. he made no apology for the fact that his broadcast i won't say tnley described but they underlie the broadcast with a message that the u.s. not only had to help britain more than it was but had to get into the war. he was a moralist and an idealist. tou could not even talk about on inivity when you are talking about what was going on in britain and berlin and elsewhere. ouldhat particular time. he would get in constant trouble with the powers that be back at cbs about objectivity because you are making very clear what your opinion is and he would say yes, i am, but i will keep doing it. he continued that kind of somrting throughout his career uestio crossed a line, no question. in this case he was right but objectivity has been a foreign in the side of journalists since the beginning of journalism. ghe whole idea that your reporting has to be free of personal prejudice or opinion is quite frankly nonsense because we are not ciphers. there is a point -- there should be balance but in th

the right of the nazis or kkk to walk down the street under the first amendment is indistinguishable from the right of the drag queen to walk proudly down the street in the gay pride parade. i want to defend both of them, not because one of them as good and one is bad, because both of them are acts of freedom. if we start, as gay people, infringing upon the first amendment, the fundamental right to say what and be who we are, we will finally be the victims because there are not that many of us. we will be the people who are the victims of this kind of intimidation. i also believe for those reasons we should be extremely careful in enacting equality for gay men and women, that we protect the religious liberties of people who, for whatever reason, sincerely believe this is against their conscience. even if there's not much reason in this, is not the role of the government to tell a religious person they are not reasonable. at some level, every religious person is not reasonable. religion is not about reason. what i worry about, and i worry about the legitimacy of people, is once you st

her grandparents were -- were great uncle lived in vienna and the nazis took one of the paintings are brilliant. it is hanging in the museum in vienna. she thinks she is entitled to it. it is a very difficult question. the question that came up to the court was whether she, if she sued in los angeles, the museum could assert a defense of sovereign immunity. we are part of a government. for technical reasons, there were certainly in the 40's, but in the '70s and '80s, they might fall in it an exception -- might fall in an exception. where do you look to find out if it is sovereign immunity? what are we looking at, then or now? i found a helpful case in paris, in the court of appeals. it was a great case of christian dior. the ex-king did not pay the bills and so he was sued. he exerts sovereign immunity. the judge as you working, you are not king, so you have no sovereign immunity. that helped me decide the case. i am try to give you a picture of the world. we had, in that year, a case of nafta where nafta has certain requirements as to what the president can do. can progress -- congre

her grandparents were, great occult, and the nazis took the painting from her and and it was hanging in a museum in indiana and she thinks she's entitled to. a difficult question but what. a very difficult question. but the question that came up to the court was whether, if she sued in los angeles, the museum could assert a defense of sovereign entity. we are part of the government. now for technical reasons, they certainly were in the '40s. but in the '70s and 80s, they might fall within an exception, assume they did. for parts of the government engaged in commerce so they don't get the in duties. but the question was where to look to find out if it is sovereign entity. are the sovereign then are now and what was -- you get the idea. so i think i've found helpful case in paris in the court of appeals. this is a great case of christian viewer versus an ex-king. he didn't pay for the bills for his wife's dresses. so christian dior suit him. so he is certain sovereign entity. so the judge says wait a minute, you working. your ex-king. these are not came, no sovereign entity. so i'd say

he did not think that there was anything balanced about hitler or the nazis. made no apology for the fact that is broadcast, they certainly underline his broadcast was the message that the u.s. not only had to help bring in more than it was, but it had to get into the war. he was a moralist, an idealist. he thought that there was no question. you could not even talk about objectivity when you're talking about what was going on in britain and berlin at that particular time. so he would get in constant trouble with the powers that be back at cbs about objectivity because the set, you are making it very clear what your opinion is. he would say, yes, i am. i'm going to keep doing it. he continued that kind of reporting throughout his career. he crossed the line sometimes. there is no question. i think in this case he was right. objectivity has been a thorn in the side of journalists says the beginning of journalism. the whole idea that your reporting has to be free of personal prejudice or opinion is quite frankly nonsense. there is a point. there should be balanc

or would it be some remain sense of the nazi germany with them looking at your papers? are your thoughts with mailbag@wusa9.com. >>> a march called the trail of greens has arrived it in our area. the march is made up of four young immigrants walking from florida to dc from the immigration reform. tonight, the neighborhood of alexandria, hosting a welcome celebration to embrace the young activist and their mission and to gavel noise the community to partis -- galvanize the community to participate. >>> wal-mart is facing a lawsuit to cost them billions of dollars tonight. today, they cleared the way for a huge class-action lawsuit, accusing the retailer of gender discrimination. the plaintiff says that it stands from the way wal-mart pays their female employees. wal-mart has seriously fought that two cents since it z was first filed nine years ago. >>> well still ahead, barring some sparing, i should say. some skins for freedom and some science. find out why these ladies went to the low-cut routes today. >>> a look at tonight's stormy weather with devon. so stick around.

i know something -- the nazis and soviets tell such a big lie people might believe it. but i don't think that's it. the person who's hurt by that kind of lie is karzai. and so again, i have to say that it's irrational. as to the substance, i think it's fairly well-known that ban ki-moon fired me because i felt that the u.n. should take an active role first in preventing the fraud, then doing something about it after it took place. it was the view that we should support the karzai commission whatever it did, so it's a very bizarre -- that really raises questions about karzai's mental stability. >> thank you so much for joining us. david is right here with me. i have a huge faith in you, david, to try to explain this whole mess over there. we have a government we're defending because we have to have somebody besides the taliban. we don't want enemies coming at us here. >> we don't want another 9/11. let me try to untangle a few of the threats here. karzai has been pushing back in a very erratic way. just over a week ago, president obama went to see him and had what he thou

we think the nazis are gone. we have to remember the shooting at the museum the day my plea was at a dress rehearsal that its underground. it never goes away so we have to be vigilant. freedom isn't free. you have to fight for it every day. >> host: i want to come back to the play because i think there's important play to have people to see to have this conversation between anne frank and emmett till. do you provide an opportunity for young people and others to engage in dialogue and questioning? >> guest: janet does. she returns almost all of the performances and then has a q&a period following the discussion where the audience can say what did they think, what did they agree or disagree with, what about the historical lessons involved and so she's in her element following the plate. >> guest: i am frustrated third grade teacher. i really wanted to teach school and i wrote the play for young people the same ages as anne frank and emmett till. we have to get to their mind and heart while they are young by the time

first amendment area most americans i think would say in the supreme court has said it's okay for the nazis to march through and for the ku klux klan to do certain things yet we still have pornography as an exception to the first amendment because there is this sex component so if you could address that and then my second point quickly to my evangelical friends actually i have some evangelical friends who say i love you index of two and all that stuff but the problem i would have is if you were married it wouldn't be accepting you it would be accepting of these implications for my relationship and all the things that flow from its and we see these things now with doctors and pharmacists and whatever that it's sort of an affront to their religious beliefs to have to deal with people who consider themselves and may be are legally married when that is directly contrary to religious beliefs that sometimes fall in fact does make exceptions as you know the federal law makes certain exceptions where certain health care givers don't have to do certain things because of conscience clauses so if you

, nazis, nazis and republican leaders like john boehner are waving to the crowd, they're encouraging people to think of democrats as either nazis, socialists and what do you do with people like that? sometimes, you take up arms against them. so this is being encouraged at least implicitly. >> it gets worse in terms of state officials. let me go to steve kornacki. the same point. the degrees of this, there are people like the attorney general of florida. he talks about this as an invasion of the sovereignty of florida, this bill. use words like invasion. of course, the governor of texas using words like secession. we're going to meet them at the border, the state line. that's a phrase used. we're going to meet the federal government at the state line and almost like a posse kind of thing. we're going to meet them with arms. there's a lot of reference -- obviously i've had this dispute with rush limbaugh about the use of the word regime again and again and again or junta, that they're foreign elements. it does play to the black helicopter notion somebody is coming to take over your cou

the collaboration with the nazis by many people beyond the borders of germany. so psychologically in their shame, they need israel to be bad. they need israel to be as guilty of estrousties as they were. which suddenly, it was terrible and several dozen palestinians were killed. that's concepted out u.s. wits. of course, it didn't. but the europeans leapt on it. i think there is that need. there's even something beyond their need to believe that israel is as bad as they are, therefore, the score is even. it's the astonishing pension, because it goes back to cultures and civilizations to fit decide at various points. we've seen it with many empires. look at german speaking culture. in the 19th entity early 20th century, the most sophisticated and profound in the world. but in north america, especially in the lower 48, in the 19th century, german thought about profoundly prudential. -- influential. much m more than the french thought and english thought. elmerson and his cycle relied on german thought. then you get to the turn of the century. and the flowering at

one is the official nazi persecution of the jews and eventual elimination from the in german society. and then he sees the possibility that his grandson might turn his back on the jewish side of his family. sort of a double death. it would be a double death for him. >> i have been very aware. i was very aware of what had happened to it german jews who had come to czechoslovakia to take refuge there. my mother would invite them for lunch telling me. i was ten or 11 at the time. we invented these people whom we didn't know because they had lost everything in germany and had no means of survival. yet at the same time we never believed that hitler could remain in power in germany. we always thought this was just a temporary aberration, that it would all go away. i think it tick of very long time for people to understand that this was real and that jews had absolutely no future in it in the german dominated country. it came as a tremendous shock because i think many people had deluded themselves and were not willing to look at the reality of the situation. >> thank you. like to and by ques

the whole thing has been very messy between the pictures of him in the nazi hat and whatnot. latest in case you're wondering what's going on between the two of them. >> gone from sex rehab, now he's going to have to go to exrehab because it doesn't look good. >> no. >> tiger woods is kind of on the same page. he showed up at augusta yesterday for the masters tournament. see him walking around with some of his people. apparently he's going to have a lot more people. if you believe the "london sunday mail" they say he's going to have almost 90 private security guards in and around the masters, many of them basically guarding him to keep away his former mistresses, they say, that he doesn't want to run into during the tournament for good reason. there's normally 200 security guards there, he's going to add another 80 or 90 to that. >> i've heard people talk about his return, they say keep in mind, everybody keeps saying can he perform under all this pressure? he's definitely been there before. a lot of people saying he'll be fine. let's talk about bruce springsteen. pretty unbel

they were invaded by the nazis and many of the polls were taken to germany and died in concentration camps. and then the soviets invaded the same country trying to drive out the nazis and they, too, took many polls and put them in concentration camps where many of them died. in the united states we celebrate the end of world war ii in 1945. but the polls, they don't celebrate the end of world war ii in 1945. they celebrate it in 1989 when the wall finally fell and the soviets left town. it was a long war for our friends in poland. so now, madam speaker, we know the rest of the story. and why president kaczynski and so many polls were on that plane that crashed in russia. now, they, too, ironically have died on the same land where thousands of other polls died over 70 years ago. it is appropriate today that we pay homage to all of those polls who have lived and died in a quest for polish liberty. those polls who have always been an ally of the united states and we grieve while they grieve in poland. that's just the way it is. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from m

that's like somebody saying let's celebrate the nazi soldiers who were doing their job. >> if you celebratething in germany today, you're celebraticelebrate ing naziism? >> no, the governor of virginia, mcdonnell said he didn't include slavery in his initial statement because he felt it wasn't significant enough. he said i focused on the ones who were most significant for virginia. slavery was huge as related to the confederacy? >> i understand that this invokes deep feelings, but i understand as a seminal event in american history, that virginia, in virginia, there are 123 battles. the next closest state was tennessee with 38. we have a farm it's replete with history. this is a piece of history. there are many issues. we're in a post racial, 150 years later. we can't talk about this? >> are the concentration camps a part of germany, absolutely, but noeb is celebrating the german soldiers. you condemn them. >> we condemn naziism, we condemn slavery. >> this is not the whole south. >> nobody is celebrating slavery. >> they want to celebrate the confederates. in fact, he even said one of the

they didn't address what the nazis were. they made fun of it on some level, but they didn't say, look, jew's are being -- they didn't take the horror of what it was. i don't mind him doing that. as long as he is not praising it. he says, i am not mocking islam because he know there's are a bunch of terrorists that will kill you. >> monty python, didn't think for a ement month a bunch of catholics would kill them. that's not what catholics do. i hate the idea. the idea that bugs me is incompetence makes a threat almost endearing. isn't it adorable they will accidentally blow themselves up. >> what they are getting at -- and i like this idea. we all at times have so much reference for these guys that we fear making a comical situation out of it. i really think they are ridiculous. we should make fun of them like team america feigned fun of kim gong i will or -- kim jong-il or matt damon. >> i think you are right and i think that is one of the best weapons. you just have to be -- you should go all out. >> but greg, he is not say

first amendment area most americans i think what sea and the supreme court has said it's okay for the nazisch through skokie and the ku klux klan to do certain things yet we still have pornography as an exception to the first amendment because there is a sex component to it. so if you could address that and then my second point quickly come to my evangelical friends i actually have some evangelical friends who say i love you and accept you and all that stuff, but the problem i would have is if you were married it wouldn't be accepting you, it would be accepting all of these implications from a relationship and all of the things that flow from it particularly we see these things now with doctors and pharmacists and whatever that it's sort of an affront to their high religious beliefs to have to deal with people who consider themselves and mabey are legally married when that is to the contrary to their religious beliefs that sometimes the law and fact does make exceptions as you know the federal law makes certain exceptions where certain health care givers don't have to do certain things beca

iraq and now afghanistan meant that when the russians went to war in georgia, it was difficult for the nazis to scrape together a brigade to deploy the american forces were stretched thin. and the invasion of georgia was meant to deliver a single lesson to the former soviet union eric this is what an american alliance gives you. this and as we used to say at my age, 35 cents will get you to the subway. the russians saw the ukrainian situation as deadly to them. not accidentally. we're just help an election in ukraine, and both candidates are pro-russian. one of them wasn't pro-russian and discovered later, yes, i am. it is clear that the game is over, and so on. could the united states have played it differently? could it have given the russians what they wanted? certainly. by totally destabilizing the american position in eastern europe, driving the bowls completely off the wall and probably the scandinavians next. de- stabilizing the balkans, making the church go slightly nuts and so on. this was possible to reset the button. reset it in 1995, you have the russians going crazy. reset it to
