council bluffs waterloo, des moines moines, mason city sat done with a lot of people veterans visited an ethanol plant, met with a asian community. i felt good about the trip. listening to the comments she made yesterday, mrs. clinton made yesterday, a couple things struck me. first, that she started talking about executive compensation and the inequities in our country, the 300 times ratio that people -- executive heads make compared to workers. i started talking about that nine years ago on the campaign trail. i mentioned it in my state of the union response to george w. bush in '07. what particularly struck me is she was talking. i listened on the radio on this about hedge fund managers making millions, and actually paying a lower tax rate than nurses and truck drivers. i had to have a chuckle there, because i've used that example three different times on the senate floor, and i used it because one of my daughters happens to be a nurse, and my zonal drives a truck. i would say i'm glad she's over on this -- and american workers are needing this kind of voice and they want it from p

but we have our lady of anti-blue, our lady of waterloo bay -- guadalupe, and so on. if we are in the same church, and if it is not well handled it becomes whose mary takes center stage? finally, i want to also emphasized that that devotion issue is a big part of many catholics. and has to be carefully promoted and elevated. one thing that is different now is that among new immigrants within the church today, as a population that is very, the new immigrant priests and religious are many. 8000 strong trees. -- priests in this country. 98% of them are of that 70. they are all very actively involved. so they come with a new flavor of preaching, a new flavor of devotion. a new flavor of each lease shall the g -- ecclesiology. we need to recognize they are hereto. finally i want to make some predictions geared the first is that --. the first is that, when the doctor and i were doing research on international priests, we went back to 1900 entries the history of catholic populations and ratios. what we noticed was very interesting. mainly that each time there was a shock in

clinton is in iowa, which some described at her waterloo during the 2008 campaign. what do you think she'll do differently? >> i think overall you'll see a different clinton campaign. some of the criticism of the 2008 campaign was that the campaign was too pledge rent to the media. there were criticisms that she was detached. she has continued to defy her critics and i think in this particular campaign, you'll see more intimacy, more individual action with voters even though presidential cam pages are in the air in terms of media driven but you'll see more intimacy a better relationship with the media. i think she'll start to highlight a lot of things that she may have shied away from in 2008. a lot of issues, particularly, i think the issue of gender. >> we're going to get into that. let me get joe's impression on iowa and the fact that hillary seems to be striking a populace town at this point in the campaign. how do you think republican contenders can most effectively respond to that, joe? >> i think that secretary clinton has some challenges, one being that she

the missouri compromise line covered very relatively little land compared to the treaty of waterloo pay hidalgo -- guadelupe hidalgo in the gadsden purchase of 1854. it sparks the wars with geronimo. it is a really cool story. are you with me so far on this? because we have not even gotten to the republican party yet. [laughter] but we are getting there. i got plenty of time left. so. but what happened is that this treaty of guadalupe hidalgo is going to break the concept that the american system has been set up in such a way that every individual can rise. and what happens is in 1854, the game changes and it changes with the passes with the kansas nebraska act, which is my favorite law in american history. because with the kansas nebraska act, the south reneged on the promise of the missouri compromise of 1820, which is not a constitutional amendment, only a law. so they are overriding that law. there are lots of twists and turns to that. but in the northerners eyes, this was a sacred law, th spread -- that slavery would not spread into the west. because if slavery could spread into th
