i think what we saw today in so many ways is representative of the way that the obama administration wants to elevate the unitedns and make it a serious global policy-making body and also emblematic of the way that the united nations is a broken institution. you have muammar qaddafi, a rogue dictator, a crazy man, speaking -- supposed to speak for 15 minutes, ends up speaking for some 90 minutes, filled with untruths, half truths, complete nonsense. the united nations was never able to enforce its resolutions on iraq. it was not able to enforce its resolutions on iran. it is not even able to keep muammar qaddafi from talking for more than 15 minutes. i think it was a dangerous speech in many ways. >> well, i couldn't disagree with steve more. i thought it was a terrific speech, and the reason i thought it was a terrific speech was president obama laid out concrete steps that his administration has taken since coming into office to prove that they, in fact, want to work with the rest of the world. when he talked about prohibitions on torture, and when he talked about working on global warming, and when he talked

one way to cover this was by covering immigration into the united states. i love the topic of immigration. about mid-way through the 1990's when i was thinking about going to tijuana it occurred to me that immigration in europe was not really developing along the same lines that the american one was spirited it was much more disruptive. it was much more full of problems for the society. it which much more traumatic for the people that live there. i started reporting on that fourth the atlantic monthly. i wound up making dozens of trips and became -- it became a very natural thing for me to read a book about. >> use a we have about 35 milligan people in the united states that were born in other countries. -- you say that we have about 35 million people in the united states that were born in other countries. >> this book is really about western europe the 15 western european countries that constitute the core of the european union. they have a population just under 400 million. there are about 50 million people living outside their country of birth in those co

they were going to become part of the united states one way or another. itasn't necessary for the united states government to declare war to make that happen. the reason is due to one man, james k. polk, the president. a big hit, a paranoid, stubborn man blind of the facts, never really tried to figure out what the other side was. he believed with white persuasion, mexico itself had a nice lot of cash in fact the problems work its debt and claims against it by foreign nationals including the united states so they began to make noise about the claim issue than the rder of texas was on the rio grande. that means santa fwould be a city in texas. this is absurd. it is based on a claim by the texas congress in december, 1836. it had no place in history, whatsoever. and then he started troops marching. each time the mexicans would see the light and put their hand out and deal and take the money. and moving the army to corpus christi, that didn't do it. so the next spring sant tayler gallen to the disputed territory. that didn't do it. finally there was the skirm

they were going to the top part of the united states one way or the other. it wasn't necessary for the united stes government to declare the war. the reason was due to one man, the president. a thick headed paranoid stubborn man never really tried to find out what the other side was. he believed with the right peruasion, mexi himself and the territory for a nice wad of cash. overall, mexico's big problem was foreign debt and claims against it by foreign nationals, including the united states. it began to make noise about the claims issue. then the right border of texas was o the rio grand. that means that santa fe would be in texas. which is absurd. it's a claim by the texas congress in december 1836 to know the history whatsoever. and then he started troops marching, after the antic station of texas. he was sure the mexicans would see the light. and the army to corpus christi, that dn't do it. so the next break. he zapped him down into the disputed territory that didn't d it. finally there was a skiish between mexican and americans which was enough euse that

it was the absence of regulation and adequate regulation that allowed banks to be paid in the way the united states does this because of this crisis. would you elaborate? >> first, i will argue the global warming doctrine. the day after tomorrow, there is the general assembly of the united nations. [unintelligible] we have the crisis. my fellow heads of state will be surprised that there is someone in this huge building who openly and dramatically say that the financial crisis was a government failure. that is the substance of my speech and on wednesday afternoon. i do not believe that this is the problem. any regulation is more or less wrong. i am sure that all of you took with you the journal of regulation. i tried to read that. i do not believe in regulation. we lived -- we live in a regulated world. we lived in communism. that is based on the mistrust in the market and the trust in regulation. we have very strong views about that. >> who is organizing? >> mr. president, i would like to ask you to comment more on this debate of communism and capitalism in the crisis. you're talking about

united states. they listen to michael jackson. they absorb our culture in many ways. i am not saying that it is impossible for europe and islam to get along today. the conditions are different. we have globalization. but you cannot look at this as something inevitable. it is not what the patterns of history tells us is the likely outcome. >> your own background, when did you first get into this business of writing? >> oh boy, i was always interested in writing. i grew up loving books. >> where was that? >> i grew up in massachusetts. i do not think i ever seriously entertained doing anything else. maybe been a great poet or a novelist would have suited the better as i saw things in my teens, but after a stint in publishing, i found my way into journalism in washington and have been doing that for about 20 years. >> where did you go to college? >> i went to harvard. >> what did you study? >> i studied english. >> what year did you graduate? >> 1983. bucs where are you posted? -- >> we're not you make your money writing books? -- where now do you make your money writing

it's not a huge concern that we're going to have to worry about people kneeing the united states. by the way say if you got to leave, good riddance. >> neil, i want to make a point. the united states as far as tax is much better. i do know in england, they are raising taxes so people are coming back over here, but if we start going down that shoap and the direction of much higher taxes going forward, and by the way, how are we going to pay for these massive deficits, then we start to worry because people do not just want to hand over money hand over fist to washington, d.c. >> and it's not going to be just the rich, either. you can take all taxable income, everybody in this country making more than half a million, and it would only add up to a little more than a trillion. you know what? we got a trillion dollars coming down the pike in ten years. >> we have to count our spending. >> but you can take the charles types an tax them all at 100% and you're not going to get there. when we come back, coming up, the white house pushing more tax breaks for people who don't even pay taxes. sound crazy

that is heartbreaking, it is wrong and no one should be treated that way in the united states of americahe system? that is the question that bedevilled so many presidents. and that has ignited the divisive battle in the media and on the internet and in town hall meetings across america. >> the time for bickering is over. the time for game has passed. now it's a season for action. now is when we must bring the best ideas of both parties together. and show the american people that we can still do what we were sent here to do. now is the time to deliver on healthcare. >> this was not some safe, predictable healthcare policy speech. president obama was going in rhetorically and the atmosphere thickened. it exploded when he tried to answer the most inflammatory charges against his plan, like that idea of death panels that would deny care to the old and sick. >> now, such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical and irresponsible. >> and then he tried to answer another accusation and listen to what happened. >> there are also those who claim that the reform efforts would ensure ill

. >> the united nations altogether should work to deter and stop this aggression. shepard: he said it is time to change the way the united nations is run, especially when it comes to the security council. in the speech, the dictator also made a point about his jet lag. and now he might not have a place to stay. there's been a fuss over where qaddafi can pitch his tent. he thought he'd found a spot in bedford, north of manhattan, but residents were not happy. qaddafi treated the bombing of pan am flight 103 as a hero when he was recently set free. people in new york are making qaddafi feel somewhat less come -- less welcome. >> bedford is a a swank town. normally, it loses politeness and civility. today, not so much. instead, outraged at the thought that colonel qaddafi might be planning a party behind the stone walls and gates of one of bedford's many estates. getting anywhere near this property is not easy. finding a libyan to talk about it is even harder. this is the property. let's see if anybody from the delegation will come talk to us. it is ringing. >> hello? >> hello, is there anybody from the libyan de

which way is the best way for the united states to tackle this problem? we sdesh to have very careful consideration before we move in the direction of nation building. >> senator kyl, why are more troops the answer in afghanistan? >> well, i think the generals are the ones that can best explain that to us. the hints of that are in the report that you cited. general mcchrystal makes clear that to successfully pursue this counter insurgency policy, you not only have to beat the taliban, but you have to keep them from coming back in, and that's what we haven't had enough troops to do and the afghan army and police don't have the capability of doing that. the problem is you take an area back from the taliban. you kick them out. then if you can't leave enough people there to hold the area, stabilize is t so the folks there know that they don't have to worry about the taliban anymore, if you leave, they'll be right back in, and that's why you need more troops. i think that's what general mcchrystal would tell us if he were allowed to come back to washington and

it was extremely nervous and it was, in a way, saying no to the united states as well and obama who has been trying so hard to find some way of engaging with iran. the actual one further than what i have heard him before in holocaust denial. he went further and being rude to the jewish people and to israel. and this time he connected britain as the instigator of the whole set of ideas. >> a setback of president obama's foreign-policy regarding iran. in terms of the regime itself in iran at the moment, what more does this tell us? the fact that there was a claque -- clampdown. suggesting the opposition leaders were jostled immediately as soon as they came out. are we looking at the continuation of a clampdown? >> it seemed like a very controlled seen it today. the report itself that as soon as mousavi and others can model their houses -- which is an interesting thing because they have not been seen and what -- as soon as they come out of they are abused by demonstrators. obviously they have set demonstrators outside. despite the warnings that the regime has given to the opposition not to
