john wayne gacy, the one on the right, he's the serial killer, and he's the one from waterloo, iowa.> what i want them to know, just like john wayne was from waterloo, iowa, that's the kind of spirit i have, too. >> there's a big difference between john wayne gacy and john wayne, but you'd think it might matter more to waterloo than anywhere else. this is in tehran, that lady is walking past a mural of the statue of liberty that's painted like a death's head. this is what the american embassy in tehran looks like today, because it is closed and has been for a long time. the american embassy in iran was part of the hostage crisis thing with iran during the iranian revolution. iranian revolutionaries storming the embassy, holding americans hostage. we closed our embassy in tehran after that, we have not had an embassy in iran since 1980. here's michele bachmann speaking in 2011. >> you may have heard that there's a break-in at the british embassy and the british had to pull their people out. that's exactly what i would do. we wouldn't have an american embassy in iran. >> if i were pres

in 1815, in the aftermath of napoleon's defeat at waterloo, czar alexander of russia visited paris andaw the vendome column, crowned by its imperial statue of napoleon. "were i to be so highly elevated," he quipped, my head would surely spin with vertigo." even a czar could not imagine such dizzying heights of glory, "but," as he added, the higher you climb, the harder you fall." and what heights napoleon fell from. in those brief few years, he led french armies to italy, egypt, spain, austria, prussia, and even moscow itself, and during that meteoric time, this room, his library at the chateau of malmaison, was his still point-- a place to which he could return. it was here, for example, that he worked on his famous law code, le code napoleon, at this desk painted by david. here he returned after his abdication in 1814 in such despair that he'd attempted to commit suicide.

(narrator) the napoleonic war ended in 1815 at waterloo. duke of wellington had called the battle "a damn close run-thing." the fragility of civilization intrigued turner throughout his career. the decline of the carthaginian empire depicts the crushing penalty rome inflicted on the carthaginians. the architecture is elegant but the messy dockside suggests the end of a defeated imperial power. the women of vanquished carthage are bidding farewell to their men as they sail towards rome, human spoils of war bound for slavery or death. in 1818, turner was 43. in the twenty years that britain had been at war, he had become a public figure, his reputation based on art and enterprise. the new classes made wealthy by the industrial revolution were eager to buy his works. and he was favored with patronage from landed gentry like walter fawkes, who invited him to stay at his yorkshire estate. one morning at breakfast fawkes asked him to make a drawing that would convey the huge size of a man-of-war. fawkes' grand niece recorded how it was done.

in september 1979 markoff walked across the waterloo bridge over the river tems.stop, he felt a sharp pain in his right thigh and remembered seeing a man next to him fumbling with an umbrella. what he did not know is that he had just been victimized in a james bond-like cold war plot. the umbrella was actually a poisonous gadget that shot out this tiny platinum ball, a ball containing the deadly poison ricin. in this documentary, the umbrella assassin, which aired on pbs, the emergency room doctor who treated him tells him what happened when markoff came in. >> when i first saw him he was fully conscious, feverish but also pointing to an area on his right thigh which he said was swollen and painful. and indicating that this was the area in which he'd been shot, stabbed or something had happened to him. >> four days later markoff was dead. his widow, ana bell, also appeared in the documentary. >> he told me that he'd been jabbed with an umbrella tip. it was almost as if he didn't want to believe it himself. and i don't think he wanted to frighten me with it. but he

to still make this his waterloo. this is paul ryan this morning, spilling the beans again. this is a crucial sound bite here. check this out. >> as bad as this is, the person in charge of this bureaucrat ii snafu has been put in obama care. the irs is going to be granted huge power over our health care in the implementation of obama care. so this is just rotten to the core. this is arrogance. this is big government cronyism and this is not what hard-working taxpayers deserve. >> the irs is going to be the verifying agency of your income. so when the state checks on how many people are covered in a certain business, such as mine, they will make sure that employee a, b, c, and d made so much money, to make sure that they qualify. that's the power the irs is going to have. and they make it sound like it's some intrusion into your front door where the government's going to be taking over. let me tell you something, liberals. we are going to win this fight. and we are going to learn. and i'm asking you, as a consumer, to start asking questions and start paying attention to what

but the sheriff is asking you to stay away from waterloo road. power lines down there. they're trying to get them up, but again, in all of these storm paths, please be considerate, stay out of the areas unless you have business there so emergency vehicles can get through. >> lookers can clog up the areas and the emergency crews can't be to where they need to be as quickly as they need to get there. we'll give you reports from the ground in edmond as soon as we get everyone dialled in. we have reporters and photographers getting video of the damage we have seen so far and our storm trackers are as well. as you saw from chopper four, that damage from the rule areas there were homes wiped out in that area. >> he has been looking at the aftermath. show us what you've got. >> reporter: well, linda and kevin t house behind me will tell the entire story. this home may have been the first hit during this afternoon's tornado out break. you can see the roof on this home completely ripped off. the homeowner was inside when that tornado went through. edmond police stopped by recent

in 1978, markov walked across the waterloo bridge over the river thames. after he got to this bus stop he felt a sharp pain in his right thigh and later said he remembered seeing a man next to him fumbling with an umbrella. markov did not know he had just been victimized in a james bond-like cold war plot. the umbrella was actually a poisonous gadget that shot out this tiny platinum ball, a ball containing the deadly poison ricin. in this documentary, the umbrella assassin which aired on pbs, the emergency room doctor who treated him tells what happened when markov came in. >> when i first saw him, he was fully conscious. he was feverish but he was also pointing to an area on his right thigh which he said was swollen and painful, and indicating that this was the area in which he had been shot, stabbed or something had happened to him. >> reporter: four days later, markov was dead. his widow annabelle also appeared in the documentary. >> he told me that he had been jabbed with an umbrella tip. it was almost as if he didn't want to believe it himself, and i

just like john wayne from waterloo, iowa that's the spirit i have to.ann, and her talking about how jesus is -- hot hot hot. >> stephanie: she's hot. i'm hot. jesus is -- hot hot hot! yes, sir. that was weird. weird. weird. [ applause ] >> stephanie: okay. we were talking about -- this is the level of political debate we have gotten to. someone mailed ricin to mayor bloomberg and the offices of mayors against illegal guns and obviously a thought on the gun-control issue. [♪breaking news theme♪] >> stephanie: man doesn't realize loaded guns are illegal at disney word and leaves his on a ride seat. [ overlapping speakers ] >> disney's animal kingdom. >> stephanie: is that where he left it? >> yep. on the dinosaur ride. >> stephanie: he told -- >> right by the sink hole ride. >> stephanie: he told authorities he realized his gun was missing a few minutes after he left it on the ride. >> didn't i have a gun? >> stephanie: let's see, keys wallet -- he does have a concealed weapons permit but told authorities he didn't know disney world patrons weren't allowe

ago, alex when jim demint said if the republicans blocked the health care law it would be obama's waterloothings in politics you believe may be true and this is among them. this moment owe basically says the republicans shouldn't try to pass any other bills in order to distract the fact that they want to hold hearings and attack obama as much as possible. that's not a good political strategy, i don't think, and it is not good to say that out loud because it makes you seem cynical because it is craven and cynical. >> there you have it right there, but in addition to what you just said, anna, congress' approval ratings are at an all-time low. they have the nickname of the do-nothing congress. the grillo article is pointing out a third of the republican-controlled committees in the house and they're spending their time investigating some facet of the obama administration. so what do you think is the potential risk and reward for republicans here? >> sure, as far as the reward, right? they're looking at 2014, 2016, trying to turn the narrative as demonizing democrats, but there is a definite w

host: we have a call from waterloo, iowa. what are your thoughts on the war on drugs?ler: good morning. my thoughts have taken me a while to come up with. i have come to the conclusion is note war on drugs nixon's justsince say no. it is evident that it is just not working. equated to prohibition. it did not work. we realize it is not work, and then we turned it around. i think the same thing has to happen with drugs. i am just going to be watching colorado and washington to see how that goes. thank you. tweetings is monte and to deal with the drug issue and miracle -- in mexico, we should do with consumption in america. lack of demand will kill supply. comments on our facebook page, there is also a poll. if you want to take a poll if you support our -- or oppose the war on drugs. you're so comments -- here are some comments -- the war on drugs is failing along with the war on poverty. bill says, how could you not support the war on drugs unless you are a drug beeler or a pothead? richard says, it has been as successful as the war on poverty. huge waste of human capita

there was the other john anatomy of folly all of the losers of history history, westmoreland and waterloo and we were supposed to learn what not to do. not only that but also models of leadership very popular in the 19th century but the more i read these and i notice in a lot of cases napoleon won when he had greater numbers or organization for not fighting the entire alliance of europe for in world war ii of george patton and do cave in to commands there is no greater fan of pat and and myself that had pat not been there we would have found somebody else who could assume the role of leadership because there were other factors, the genius of george marshall and the hitler stupidity that would make a victory still possible so i try to look across and see what happens with the war was lost? not only tactically or strategically but the people whether mostly in a consensual society gave up as well and then the of war was not lost. who came in at the 11th-hour? there were dozens of people people, and they said it wouldn't work and then again i was looking for general's when there was no hope i
