of programs, and i remember that the one program manager coming in early on in weinberger's tour, and presenting, you know, here's the update on the program and he had a chart. he had a chart that had how many congressional districts that would work for the b-1. i don't ever want to see that again. that's not what we are in the business for. well, today every program manager is expected to devise such a chart year and the more he can spread it around the country, the better off he's going to be. think about what that does to the cost of getting all these parts and putting the system together. again goes on because congress loves it. and until they step up and stop this, i can't see it happening. >> allright. i'm going to thank pierre sprey and tom not all he tonight but for the fantastic book you put together. >> kendal immediately, and hard copy from amazon towards the end of march. we have copies for sale here right now for the cdi edition. we are almost out to get them while they're hot. quick. >> first edition. >> thank you very much.

[laughter] >> and general powell said there and he turned to me and he said i immediately ran out of the room, picked up the phone, called my wife and said what have i gotten myself into? [laughter] >> what he figured out and what so many other people figured out about reagan was that, you know what, the screaming and yelling and the accusation, that was just a sidebar. in the end for reagan, he believed it was about giving his policies enacted in that respect he was not going to get engaged in sort of the nasty back and forth. i thi

the fda proposed translation of registered drug that requires a hearing etc., the weinberg grouper lead to ten additional years of sales before the translation-- cancellation of the traxel whatever this drug was did not work, we had ten additional years thanks to the weinberg group. now they by the way, since i wrote this book, to tell you about the defense industry they have changed their web site. they now call their work private support but i saved all of those screen shots too. i think it hurts all of this, and dill. understand this as well-- people see this all signs turning to scientists because we are being seen like the accountants at arthur andersen. i want to give one case example of something which i became deeply involved with. i was teaching about it when i was teaching environmental health policy george washington university. o'shea issued a proposed chromium standards. chromium is a chemical commonly used in the workplace, hayden medal extremely toxic, 100 years ago come 80 years ago factory workers would take the time come up put it up one nostril and pull it out the oth

and then he writes in his diary i am going to go with george or this one are go with schulz or weinbergeror someone so, it is a good idea. he also talks to richard nixon and lot of what happened in terms of a progress on this happened fairly early on. people think that it wasn't until gorbachev got into office that anything happened, but, in fact, by the time reagan was reelected he had already met with your minkow in september of '84 and the agreed on a the elimination of nuclear-weapons. he stated in a speech to the u.n. a few days before he met with rave that the ussr continues to favor measures to reduce and ultimately eliminate nuclear-weapons and it turned ankle and was then head of the soviet union wrote to reagan right after it it was reelected and sen we are prepared to sit most radical solutions which would allow movement toward a complete ban and eventually the liquidation of nuclear arms. so at that point reagan had an agreement that the soviets at least were claiming that they wanted to do the same thing that he wanted to do and he said let's take them at their word and say o

united states army responsibility to end tyrrany across the globe, you have gone so are beyond the weinberger doctrine and the powell doctrine that says we, shore only when absolutely necessary to protect u.s. interests and when we do we throw everything that we have at it, we kill the enemy, we achieved our objective and we bring our men and women serving in uniform home. that was radical. the $7 trillion spin on medicare over the past eight years radical. it is a program that is going bankrupt and the republicans had a $7 trillion burning to that debt. in so this is how we've got to show restraint and understand the realities that are in front of us in conservatism is the answer. i believe and i talked about in this book we are coming entrusting i am right on this. we are coming upon a great conservative era of in american politics. how of the? because we have no choice. we are out of money, we're going to have to make tough decisions in regard because of what george w. bush did but especially because what barack obama is doing. the spending is remarkable. he has admitted we are out of
