i got it done with a six-cylinder, rebuilt the trannie, rebuilt the original rear end.idn't get crazy with the chassis, but we did strip it all and paint it. we did all the brakes, powder-coated the original wheels, put nice big wide whitewalls like they like with the original center cap. so, the chassis's all done, waiting for the body. uh, we got 95% of the body work done. we're in the process of painting the cab right now. soon as the cab's done, we'll mount the cab, we'll be able to hook up the brakes and so forth and then we'll start painting the body parts and putting the car together. and with this we're simply gonna mix it 1:1. we're not gonna have enough in here, but we're gonna mix it 1:1 anyway. you know, we might. i might let it just slide. it's a good thing. so now this we're going 1:1, so we're gonna bring that up to 24 ounces, and we're ready to go. actually, we're not. we gotta check the air pressure. so now i know i got 29 pounds at the gun, so we're perfect. today-- you got isocyanates today, and with isocyanates, you don't want to breathe this stuff i

now that the cutlass body is off the frame and we have the motor, tranny, and the suspension off, we're ready to take that frame down to edgewater to get sandblasted. we took it over to the sandblaster. we had it sandblasted, even though we originally weren't going this far, but just one of those things you don't stop, and it's like everything. we weren't gonna redo the motor, but now we're putting a cam in. we're doing the heads in it. well, the same thing with the frame. one thing led to another. you know we're not gonna go crazy on the frame, but at least lets sandblast it and paint it. we sandblasted the frame 'cause soda blasting will not take off rust. it'll take off paint, bondo, and so forth. needless to say, we want to take off rust, and we don't sandblast here. we send that out, and we have the frame sandblasted. same basic process, but instead of soda they use sand. we'll go back and get the frame later. now we have some time to finish up that deck lid with megan. see how it turns all black now that we let it dry out? mm-hmm. that's what we want. by tomorrow, that'll be flaky

we got the tranny and great people and iraqi government got in control. i do agree with it. added thing. former iraqis have been displaced by the war either internally or externally. so like 15% of the population even today very few comeback. that's the big difference between iraq and afghanistan. you have fight night afghan refugees left during the soviet invasion. about 3 million, 4 million are all back. iraq is still something that's calling people back but it seems too unstable. afghanistan is calling people back in a different way. >> host: you see iraq doing well in the future. entrance of the oil wells. i see a huge economic boom happened. let me just get back to the subject of al qaeda and iraq if i iraq if i could for me because you are right about how our invasion grade and opening too mush and out of control and kill all those thousands of people to have this horrifying campaign of suicide bombings take control of an area larger than new england as you write in the book. at the end of the day al qaeda and iraq was devastated by the combination of the u.s. surge an

what we did on the car was put the motor and the tranny on the other side of the hood.didn't restore the car or nothing. so that should have been-- somebody did it. either that one tune-up shop we sent out or one of my ex-employees, but somebody did it, so i'm really glad we caught it. that would have been awful. between all the fabricating and painting lately, my shoulder's killing me. so i went and hired a trainer. hopefully i won't have to get the operation like they said on my shoulder, and the trainer claims he can do something for me to get rid of this pain in my shoulder so i can start painting. ♪ i tore a ligament in my rotator cuff. it hurt. i couldn't even paint the car. i don't believe in operations. met ryan through a recommendation. hence, i can paint cars again. ( breathing heavily ) good. breathe. i am. remember, i still gotta paint cars for a living. ( breathing heavily ) ( indistinct ) well, there was a time we never thought we could even do chest with the shoulders. not without an operation. since they wanna do it, so, i mean... so it's getting in the

and virginia didn't -- kentucky didn't seem very happy about the tranny. i think james madison heart was in his mouth through the whole episode. and, indeed, it was roughly divided. if you take oratorical strength, probably the opposition had the edge because they have patrick henry. patrick henry was a magnificent orator. jefferson who really hated him called him the greatest orator of all times. to get a couple of by somebody who hated him as much as jefferson did give him special credence. once in the 1780s jefferson and madison were in a fight with henry on the other side, in jefferson city medicine, look, we just have to give up. the only thing we can do is earnestly pray for his early death. and they hijacked the virginia convention. that is, it was supposed to go into the constitution line by line, and no such luck. he raced big issues that made them debate them. honorable gentleman, james madison tell you other important lessons which he imagines will result to us and mankind from the adoption of the system, henry told the delegates at the beginnin

i'm not going to compare the tranny to these but germany, nazi germany and napoleon tried to rule by main force. it doesn't work very well. the romans and the british, the persians ruled sadly and indirectly, and by managing various players and controlling them and bringing them to the point where you wanted them. >> host: subtlety up to now has not been a hallmark of american diplomacy. >> guest: we are a very young country and it's only been 20 years since we have been a global power. i remember december 31, 1991, as the breaking point in history. first, it was the first moment in 500 years there was no european global power. and second it was the moment that united states quite by surprise, i think was done that happen, stood alone. it takes time to build institutions. it takes time to bring political culture. it's not surprising that the first 10 years, history, then sadly 9/11 happened. it was all about the long war that would never end, the islamic world. this is the unintended empire. they didn't expect to be this enormously powerful position. it doesn't know how to manage it.

so i'm curious about how those reactions are going to shape the conduct of diplomacy about the trannyyears to come. dalia, you want to opine on the? >> that have been a couple of immediate effects. think some more symbolic. for example, the president of yemen refused to meet the assistant secretary of state recently because of these leaks. i think that a lot of this is posturing again the officials are being cautious. they do want to publicly portray themselves as being so subservient to washington. i think these will fade but i think as you said, the deeper effects will be at a broader level among population. and in the case of the middle east, i think it really has -- it's not that it has changed impressions, it's just reinforced already pretty negative ones is what i was suggesting. this is not a good thing for u.s. diplomacy. i think the u.s. is making an effort to do a lot of things that try to present an image of united states acting in the region in a way that isn't just propping up government. these large arms sales don't help that, that perception, but there is a lot of finan

you and i both know how critical trading for the tranny and for us to recover from our current situation. i know there's a lot of concern we've heard today just concerned by american public about trade. the national export initiative, the goal of doubling exports is a laudable goal and certain ones that i support. but in order to make that happen we need to get the american people behind this. you've done a tremendous effort going out and speaking on the advantages of trade across this country. i commend you for your efforts in doing that, but it seems to me, maybe you can discuss in more detail, how yourself and the administration is going to get the american people behind more trade, especially the three traded him and we're looking right now. [inaudible] >> i had the same problem. >> thank you for your kind words about our work. i've heard from all of you and i know we have differences may be on panama-colombia but i haven't heard, refreshingly, for many of you a difference we all understand right now, with the american public care about, it's jobs. it is jobs, was it for me. and we'v

and if the tranny defaulted it would have extraordinarily bad consequences for our financial system and it would mean that we would face higher interest rates indefinitely because creditors wouldn't trust us to make our interest payments. >> i mean, it would be reckless from an economic and financial perspective to allow, to essentially -- default on our debts and question the credit worthiness and full faith and credit of the united states, correct? >> we do not want to default on our debts. >> had had an opportunity look at some of the legislative proposals that have been introduced on the senate and house side that would purport to try and delay those payments? have you seen secretary geithner's comments in response of? >> we have just begun to look at the issue of whether or not you could reorder, prioritize payments so that the debt interest would be paid but other things not be paid. this has not been done before, and our early assessment is they would be some difficulties in just a purely operational point of view. for example, you would have to differentiate between social secur
