that the tom daschle of the world you know to grab a example that seems to be from the distant past but really wasn't that long ago and he's typical of a lot of guys who are typical at a certain point in time americans are going to stop looking to washington to give us a recovery right to get us out of the mess it's part of the mass and it's going to take i think a psychological flipping of the switch but i revolutionary medical the arms we had to get people to psychologically flip a switch if they're sitting around watching football in their couches i'm talking about right what don't send the same people back to washington for service if you're serious about fighting incumbency than just throw the bums out there so there's a there's a throw the bums out aspect to it but even beyond that it's what do you replace it with do you replace it with different problems or do you replace it with you know pay much more attention what's going on in state legislatures pay a lot more attention to local politics actually hauling the center of gravity away from washington and caring less about what go

i'm gerry pleased to be here today with tom daschle who's the former senate majority leader and now at the l.a. piper and the card is the acting dean of the bush public and government and of course the former chief of staff to president bush. ted alden of the council of foreign relations it was the co-director of the task force and manslaughter from the schools also the co-chair of the task force. what we are going to do this morning is i'm going to ask the questions of mr. daschle and mr. carter for about half an hour and then open up to questions. i promise you that we will not still the report i will tell you everything that's in net. let me start with one big question if i may mr. carter and mr. daschle. the report quite eloquently says this. the growth of global trade investment has brought significant benefits to the united states and the rest of the world. free trade and investment facilitated by the will of the u.s. law to negotiate and implement has alleviated poverty, raised average standards of living and discourage conflict. now it seems to me that an awful lot of americans

creating more jobs in america by having a pro-america trade policy and i've been working with senator tom daschle, former majority leader of the democratic party, to put together a bipartisan or almost a nonpartisan plan for the administration to consider and for congress to respond to that actually increases trade opportunities where jobs would be a primary result and so we want america to have a competitive trade environment. we want to take a look at policies that will allow us to be competitive and at the same time take a look at the realist realistic challenges of making sure we have jobs am america and we think we found a way to do it. >> how do you deal with conflict between democrats that want fixes for labor and the republicans who say that they won't approve the korea trade deal for instance, a huge trade deal with those changes for the labor force. >> i would invite them to take a look at the report done by the council of foreign relations tax force. it is different. it's not theoretical and not perfection and in the context of what the political climate is today and we think that it c

well, tom daschle was the senate majority leader in 2001. he also came in for our american history project and talked about his evaluation from the capital 10 years ago today. >> right at the time this was happening, a capital policeman said, we're getting out of here. i need everything to come right now. there was a mad scramble immediately after the capital building. i saw a young staff. i even saw sarah carrying a couple of books and having some difficult walking quickly but nonetheless evaluating as we are all attempting to leave the building not sure where all this was going lead. let me go back to the moment where you saw it do you remember whab your senators said? >> the their presence was a sense of disbelief and a sense of real concern that there had to have been a connection between what we were seing there and what we had just seen on tv. what was the connection and how was this all understood. i think there was tremendous confusion, a high, high degree of anxiety, a very palpable fear that something unusual in the extreme was goi

i am very pleased to be here today with tom daschle, the former senate majority leader and now a piper. in the card is the bush school of government and of course former staff to president bush. ted alden at the council for foreign relations and was the contract of the task force and matt slaughter from the dartmouth tax goal was also a co-chair of the task force. what we are going to do this morning is i'm going to ask some questions particularly of mr. daschle and mr. card for about half an hour and then open up to questions. i promise you that we will not spill the report by telling you everything that's in it. since they are giving away free copies, feel free to read it. let me start with one big question if i may mr. carter and mr. daschle. the record report quite eloquently says the growth of the global trade and investment has brought significant benefits to the united states and the rest of the world. the trade and investment facilitated by the u.s. law negotiating and implementing has alleviated poverty if raised average standard of living and conflict. now it seems to me that

tom daschle and i went back and forth. i was the majority leader. he was the minority leader and we switched i think least a couple of times. but on occasion we would get in a corner and say look, if we get this done there will be enough credit to go around for both of us for our parties. and i remember one time we pushed in issues together, to party leaders when our conferences were against us, the patriot act. that's right, you read the article in the "washington post," my conference, i have two conservatives who are about ready to throw me out of my position because they thought it was going to for. tom was running into resistance in his caucus, also maybe from byron. we actually had a cell phone conversation and agreed that we would meet on the floor of the senate and call it the bill and get it done. and we did and it wound up passing like 98-2. him a been a mistake in retrospect. the important thing was we needed to get it done. it's the aftermath of 9/11. you can argue about the details. the most important thing is try to get something done s

if you go back further into when things were shut off by tom daschle, he was a previous majority leadern the senate. putting all of that aside, one thing that we hear a lot that we rarely take action on, some time ago, back in the 1940's, we decided, in the 1940's, that a man could run as president continually and continually until his power became a threat to our government. we passed an amendment that limited the terms of the government -- president. from time to time, we bring up the limited terms of members of congress. a good idea. democrat or republican, they are in for many years, in the senate and house. they amass power. they amassed large financial political war chests. they become the old horses. eventually what becomes a real thing to them is what [unintelligible] used to say in an old, rigid, extract. "foggy bottom fault." we have to go back to the ideas of our founding fathers. when a person goes into public office, he stays there. we should say that he or she stays there for a short while, then returning to the public life. the private life, again. i do not want to hear t

tom daschle's favorite japanese restaurant, sushi cup, and then i spent my sunday morning in the church of bob dole and john mccain on "meet the press." >> it sounds like that plant that stamps out -- >> when daschle was running for election and lost and asked him what his favorite restaurant was on c span. he said, this tiny sushi place in upper northwest washington that's so good. >> it's exquisite. >> exactly. >> i just did what everybody does, right? i followed kids to practice. yelled at players and refs and little league games. >> your daughter -- >> games your children -- >> who were you yelling at? >> stand in the park and yell at referees. >> sometimes i just yelled at referees. >> they're little girls. why are you yelling? >> because you have to set the bar high for them, as well. >> it's the whole title. you've got to work the ref. >> you always have to work the ref. kate was goalie, and there were some defenders that they were not staying in their zone. and i don't care if they're 7 or not. >> all right. we've got a lot to talk about this morning. i don't know if it's too la

and at the end of the day, you know, i remember tom daschle -- everybody around him was pushing him insimilar moment in '03 and '04 where democrats were nervous about dean. they were not enamored with kerry. gephardt wasn't doing well. they were looking for somebody else. they couldn't get hillary to do it. and there was this entire sort of the leftover democratic establishment. put all this pressure on daschle. he finally relented. they started putting the campaign together and then he got up literally the next morning and said, what am i doing? no. because his heart was never in it. it was never something that he had ambition all his life to do. now the difference with christie as you hear is he does have this ambition to some day be president. so that's why you can see that maybe he could put his energy into it. boy, it's tough. >> i tell you. a man who knows himself, colin powell. >> same thing. he kufsed. >> if you're ambivalent and it's the fall, i tell you what. it's awfully tough to do it. maybe he will. seriously, we can't be talking about this two weeks from now. he either ju

then 9/11 remembrances by tom daschle and gary walters. >> tomorrow on "washington journal," we mark compiled by our tv steppers we will also take calls from viewers reflecting on the impact of the day into our lives. "washington journal," live at 7:00 a.m. eastern on c-span. >> tomorrow that tenure anniversary -- the 10-year anniversary of 9/11. at a 30 a.m., a memorial ceremony from the world trade center site with president obama and former president bush. on c-span2 at 9:00, by its president biden from the pentagon. at c-span3 at 930, those who lost their lives on flight 93. >> next, a dedication ceremony for the first phase of the flight 93 national memorial in shanksville, pennsylvania. it was attended by a by spot -- by president biden, former president bush, former first lady laura bush, and others. the memorial is located where the plane crashed as the passengers and crew prevent an attack on the nation's capital. this ceremony is just over 2.5 hours.

tom daschle was among the leaders evacuated by helicopter to a secure, undisclosed location.es that day from his narrow view of the pentagon to his description of the secret location where leaders regrouped and determine how to respond. >> how did your day begin? >> every tuesday we had a leadership meeting. i came in early and john glenn came by. he was going to do an interview. he came by for a cup of coffee. we were sitting in my office that morning. then we had the television on and watched a plane fly into the first tower of the trade center. i remember john's reaction. didn't he -- he said a pilot flew into the trade center. he said that was not a pilot. that is how it started. we went to a leadership meeting shortly after that thinking it had to have been an accident. we turned on the monitors. we were going to begin our preparations for the day. we began to watch this scene unfold. i remember at one point senator patty murray looked out and saw smoke billowing. she ran to the window and said, there is smoke coming from the pentagon. we all and jumped to our feet and w
