it was described in an odd word that was great at the beginning of the decade by warren harding iran in 1920 when he said we want to get back to what he called normalcy. there's no such word. he wasn't -- he was the first republican to make a port but he said normalcy, getting back to the way things used to be. they saw the country falling apart. a lot of guys they held were changing, and so you had a number of things i came along at the same time that sort of emerge. one was a movement called fundamentalism. when we hear about fundamentalism today we usually think of its associated an awful lot with islamic fundamentalists. and terrorism, and, of course, also people with christian fundamentalism, often make the mistake of using evangelicalism and fundamentalism as interchangeable. fundamentalism was a reaction to the modern world, and it began as a theological movement that sort of is reaction to some of the changes taking place in mainstream. but it became also a cultural thing. it was sort of something for people to get involved with. i think it's hard to imagine today that it was

the one that really -- that really, really, i think, gripped me more than anything else was the warren harding one, because i couldn't believe that somebody that was such a goofy guy, he was not right at all, elected to the white house, he used to try to talk to him about the tax code. he said i don't understand anything about taxes. don't talk to me about that. the only thing that he was interested in is how many women a night he could bed in the white house. and there's an old saying that the difference between harding and wilson was that wilson liked the brothels of paris, and harding like the whore houses of columbia, ohio. i think there was a lot of truth in that. one thing i want to say about harding was that, you know, when he was picked to run for the senate because at a picnic north of columbia, they see him leaving an outhouse. the two political optives, isn't he a handsome looking man? he would make a marvelous senator. they ran and asked him about the presidency. when he got elected, one the first things he wanted to do is change the national emblem from the eagle to the chicken be

hard enough? what is it? >> i think a big mistake was made. and i think warrenbuffett or somebody said this a couple weeks ago, and i agree 100%. we should never couple raising the debt and tying that to deficit reduction. understand, raising the debt means paying our bills. i was in china when this was going on. and they're saying, terry, let me be clear. these are things you have spent. you're now going to say you're not going to pay for them? that's an entirely different argument. do we need to bring our deficit down? you bet we do, but that's separate from raising the debt limit. if we as america spent it, we pay it. in my business, if i don't make my payroll or i'm not paying my vendors, guess what, i'm chapter 7. i don't have people saying, i'm not going to pay it if you don't give me this. >> you're building a factory in china, but this is going to create american jobs? there's a little bit of disconnect for me? >> no, with let's be clear. we're now a global economy, chuck. china is the number one auto sales in the world. right now they're leading the wor

>> i hate this news because where i wanted elizabeth warren was the consumer protection agency. she worked so hardn it. she explained why we needed it. the clarity of her voice on that. the fact she's having to run for elected office because the republican controlled congress blocked her appointment made it possible for her to be nominated. it's made the agency toothless. it makes me sad. because i appreciate the american democratic, what i appreciate is someone is smart, competent and clearly sort of capable of explaining the hardest and most difficult element of how the economic world impacts ordinary world would be in a place like the senate is actually quite thrilling. i think she's a good candidate and one that will work hard. >> it wasn't just the republicans that didn't want her to have the job, there were democrats. some in the white house. >> well put. >> give us an early handicap on this. what kind of threat is she to scott brown? >> scott brown has been smart with both republicans and democrats. he's going to say he's not predictable. you don't want another rubber stamp, you want someon

hard flog here for a matter of here's. >> charlie: what do you think unemployment would be come october, november, 2012. >> i have a bet with warren buffett. i think our bet is a little closer north of sevenand i think it will be significantly higher than that. chaie: below nine. >> i think it will be, look, i think we're in for a period of two, two and-a-half percent growth for a matter of aew years. that hard flock is a central -- by the way, at that point the unemployment rate's declining very slowly. it am a so makes the deficit numbers much worse. if we grew 2, 2.5% instead of the official projections, the deficit is two and-a-half trillion dollars therefore ping out what we just did. >> charlie: what happens to the president is unemployment is above 8%, al? >> well charlie, first of all i hope the bet with buffet is for half the net worth because i like peter's -- [laughter] charlie: n other words, you like peter's side of the argument? >> i do, i do. but i think if unemployment is around 9% next year, the president is going to have to count very heavily on a very -- >> charlie: weak opponent. >> exactly. that's always dange

so, it's really hard to know at this juncture exactly what is going to happen. some stocks are cheaper, some people may jump in. warren buffet says we should have quadruple rating and he was one of the ones along with peter lynch who in past blood baths in the world war kit jumped in. how i wouldn't jump in before him or be the first one in there but if there is a midge or invest or who says, there's bargains in here, maybe there are. >> look about eight hours from now the markets in asia will open if you are going down in the middle east it could be going down in asia before the opening bell tomorrow morning. the s&p 500 which struck me there was lack of a long term plan to reduce the debt. they call it political gridlock so why won't washington come up with a long term plan unless they get one it seems they're on this roller coaster ride. >> well, that's a great question, eric, you should be down there on the congressionaller from. because those are the questions that should be answered. the thing that bothered s&p 500 so much was not just the amount of debt. but the way that we were dealing with it. a committee? a

opposes high tax rates, you better believe the warren buffetts of the world figure out a way to get around those. high tax rates are like a ceiling that make it hard for the ordinary entrepreneur to get rich. i want more and more millionaires being created every day and governments making that carter. -- making it harder. i mentioned the irs regulation that would force american banks to lose money in order to enforce bad foreign tax law. the republicans on capitol have a list of regulations they want to go through that they think the do not meet the smell test. i'm not saying that because i think republicans are picking out the best list. they voted for sarbanes-oxley. now they are against it when obama is in charge. let's be suspicious of their motives. they are identifying regulation that even by the obama administration's efforts are very, very expensive. host: let me give vivian and others some details. this is a story from "the washington post." it restrict the effort to transfer an assembly line to south carolina. they are seeking a spot for cheaper labor. int: let's hear from ann chicago, an independent. go ahead, ann. caller: it seems like
