even on the well. whenever government says they're going to keep you safe get ready because you get their freedom. well it's that time of year again when millions of americans raced to the malls in search of the hottest trends last minute shopping seems to be on the minds of many people around washington d.c. today the average american spends about six hundred fifty bucks during the holiday season that's according to the american research group that amount is down just a smidge from last year but not much the hard ticket item this season nike's new air jordan price at one hundred eighty bucks a pop and the release of those shoes caused quite a frenzy among shoppers across the country and seattle police broke up a fight by dousing over one hundred shoppers with pepper spray the all too familiar scene similar to last month's black friday sales but as a mare millions of americans that line up for a pair of kicks there's another line growing packed with the same sense of desperation but for a hot meal peop

workshop as well. the third one with wiggle i think is a quite interesting one. we don't have a wiggle in the netherlands. we don't need a wiggle in the netherlands. but i -- i thought what an interesting word that is, wiggle. where does it come from? is it a san francisco-invented word? so i looked it up yesterday in the oxford dictionary. to my surprise i found the origin of the word "wiggle" is in dutch. sorry about that. it's to wiggle. to move to left to right. that's something we do in the netherlands. in politics as well. and even i find out that the name beggler, somebody who wiggles, is a common name in the netherlands and in the dutch translation of harry potter, the lady who writes all the booklets for the school in the harry potter school is madam wiggli. i thought it might be good to contact her to get some additional support for this workshop and then i find there's no need for it because we have tall resources here. you could look at the dutch team and all the professionals here in san f

well there's been some talk here in the u.s. on how effective occupy wall street has been and getting their message out well maybe they should be taking some notes from ukrainian they're letting it all hang out in the name of women's rights and finding that taking their tops off is trash attracting a lot of attention well we've all heard that sex sells but do the same rules apply to protesting r.c. followed some of these ladies to find out. oh yes. on a chilly morning in kiev half naked women in racing outfits drink champagne and chant slogans this is how the feminine movement celebrated the resignation of silvio berlusconi several days prior to that that very same ladies were in rome voicing their support to the anti berlusconi protest we've given them until we had staged a lot of protests against berlusconi and his sexual adventures here and here and we are really happy his political career has finished this inhibition interrupted the last couple somebody who came to tell an embassy not only to celebrate but the say that he ne

well last year there was scuttled various i mean this apologies would fall well maybe twenty twelve is the year we see hundreds and hundreds of municipal bonds go belly up across the nation and then it'll be interesting to see how the federal government deals with bankruptcy and thirty six out of fifty us states might not default but u.b.s. predicts that perhaps u.s. ten year treasury yields break out so right now they're saying that u.s. treasuries remain among the safest assets in the world they're considered safe everybody's buying them the yields are driven down but what could prove those investors wrong u.b.s. asks they give a few reasons for the answers but the one that's most interesting to me they say alternatively the appeal of u.s. treasuries could be eroded by common bond issuance in the euro zone creating the potential for a larger homogenous market for european government debt that could rival u.s. government hedge money that however seems a remote possibility well this is what the currency war is all about you know a couple of years ago it was thought that the euro would

>> well, well, i think it's -- it was purely a political statement. but i think it demonstrates my point and makes my position very clear. hat, there all the harm done is not only on one side, and that fight has been going on in that part of the world f a long time. and i remember so clearly what ronald reagan said when he got messed up in lebanon. he said that if he had been more neutral, and folwed neutrality and had not put thearines in there, ose marines would still be alive. in other words, he's saying the politics of tt region, these were his words, the politicsre irrational. the irrationity of the politics there. and that's why i think it's such a wise thing to do, to follow our founders, and not pretend the know who the bad ppl are, and who's saying the bad things, and one side perfectlre, and the other side are only theterrorists. a lot of people die over there. a lot of people die on both sides. and i don't think we have the wisdom to sort atout, nor do we have the authority to sort that out, and so put our will. i think that region should b

well short. of risk in russia is obviously elevated. because of the protests and the disturbances in moscow and around russia as a result of the parliamentary elections long term it doesn't necessarily have to be that way i mean i think if if the kremlin listens to the protesters and understands that there is a growing call for more. clarity in parliamentary politics as well as a very strong economic necessity to reform. the way that the budget generates. its revenues back at its revenues from predominantly not just oil and slightly more diversified knowledge based economy if they can make these changes i think for investors may well worn story in russia russian shirts after the dynamic lessons are concerned and i think the rest premiums might start to dissipate i think there's a real potential for foreign investment to start flowing into russia i think in the short term maybe run the run up to the elections the presidential elections in march to that a bit more complicated but beyond that potentially this recent process could be turned

life and live how you want if it was for you well. suppose you go on a real mission on you or you have to send the guys on a real mission five hundred days in outer space what would be your decision to send the whole male crew or to mix sexes. i think it would be interesting to make a more experiment with sexist to see how it got works out i think it could be a good idea if there is a good bones and you know. i think you look for an all male crew let's start a little me where i feel i. see your. real space why your need to use only my oh grow ok would you yourself any of you or maybe if you talked to your friends after you made this experiment choose to go on a real mission to mars or this was an earth. on the radio yeah yeah when i finally go you know dark and you are here so i want to try. what about the medics didn't the medics have to do all those experiments have to you out of there did they find any negative results of this experiment. during commission the way medical examination but. not find. very different very dangerous. ch

well...lways a key there, which is now missing, sadly, and that allowed-- oh, i see why you think it's of railway interest. we'll come to that in a minute. that allowed this back plate to slide out, and there you've got the winding, the setting of the hands, and the slow/fast. remember, the stagecoaches then were running pretty much to the minute, and, really, until the 1860s were running and carrying passengers and mail out in the provinces before the railway network stretched that far, and the demise of the stagecoach was thought to have started in round about 1838. and it just so happens that, on the back here, we have... "london to birmingham railway," which started as one of the first commercial passenger networks in 1838. so that's come from a stagecoach to be used on the railway, euston station no. 2. right. now, that is a wonderful bit of social history. it is. it's in slightly rough condition. it's covered in muck and filth inside, but you obviously haven't had it looked at for many

they're well on their way to the super bowl. i will make sure they have every game successful as much as i can. thank you very much.

policy very well the coup was. really about ideology and systems and once gorbachev began to change the system here once he dropped the class struggle ideology and you know this began started when you want to say he started winning when he dropped the you know he went one in the sense that he liberated the country from the burden of the arms race which was killing it economically and had the freedom then to try to put it on a more modern track and that's what he was trying to do thank you you know you a man in your age your position should be becoming a pacifist but you think that a war can be good it can be a win win situation well only because the cold war was not a reward of war of words it was not their wars on the program but we're here today because it was not a war and in fact i think one of the problems we make is calling it a war it was a confrontation and a competition and one can say that our system turned out to be the stronger one but not that one country defeated another some of your colleagues some o

well with the. science technology innovation all the moves developments from around russia we've got the future covered. welcome back to spotlight i'm not been just a reminder that my guest on the show today is jack matlock the last american ambassador to the soviet union well technically bob strauss came to moscow as an investor who placed mr matlock in august ninety one just after the coup buddy but he turned out to be the first and bastard in russia technically actually what was the last one. to the soviet union the man who said goodbye to to to to to to to the well we were talking about the end of the cold war. speaking about saying goodbye to two. when did you start understanding and i know you did that yeltsin will be the next guy the next man in charge in moscow well actually we had we had hoped that gorbachev and you also and could cooperate and it was very clear that anyone that if they didn't there was no way to hold the country together and we wish the soviet union to survive as the volun

well we begin tonight with a question is the u.s. close to war with iran tensions between tehran and the west continue to escalate recent events show both countries are engaging in a dangerous political game just this past weekend iran claims to have shot down a u.s. drone flying over the country on the same day explosions outside the british embassy and bahrain this after the u.s. claimed iran is behind a plot to kill a saudi ambassador to washington right here on u.s. soil there's been a series of other mysterious explosions as well as assassinations of key scientists meanwhile the u.s. is cracking down on the country through a series of sanctions all this has some asking are we already at war with iran. let's take a look at some of the headlines on the web today. these are the headlines from the daily mail the atlantic and newsmax all of them asked the very same question are we already at war with iran now officials on both sides have not shied away from rallying to go to war how can you forget senator john mccain's performance a

alvarez, as well. thank you for your presentation. >> good morning today also from the housing authority. you have heard a lot about what we're already doing. we have been communicating with our colleagues and with the city family about our ability to put families in permanent housing situations. we have approximately 115 vacant units at the moment, and we're going to expedite and tuck these families in the city shelter and expedite those units so that we can get those families housed. our commitment is to try to do that before the holidays. it will mean moving resources from things that we were doing to this particular priority. i think rather than revisit all the things we have already heard, it may be more expedient to more interesting for everyone to simply entertain your questions. i think he clearly articulated what we're doing together collectively. as the dialogue continues, i think we will get a better understanding of the housing authority's operations and what is that we're able to do and ar

i think the bombings feedom wanted well. whenever the government says they're going to keep you safe get ready because you get your freedom. issues that so much tonight there's a huge visitation on the market with the american occupation in iraq officially coming to a close this week it's time to take stock was the war in occupations worth it for the. full. faith.

well, that was a good buy. well, i've always thought so, because i really love it.l, that's good. it-- it-- it is a little italian cabinet. oh, it is? cabinets themselves came in in the early tudor period, really, into england, but they really developed in western europe, and the name actually lent itself to its purpose, and essentially, it was a little architecturally motivated thing. a piece of furniture, sometimes huge, sometimes even smaller than this, and this is where a gentleman would have hidden his latest-- ah-- his latest purchase. his latest object of art. now, inside here, you see it's quite plain, isn't it? originally, there was a complete compartment which went inside there which would have little mirrors and probably a little inlaid floor, rather like an inner hall, okay? yes. that was the cabinet, and in that cabinet, he would place his latest object of virtue, or object of art. a little jewel. that was his cabinet piece, and he would show it to his cabinet friends. only his closest associates. and that's where we get the word "cabinet" in government

known for his russian blogging very well known here in russia and becoming more and more well known in the west you certainly become a star of the media i think it's fair to say he was detained at one of the earlier protests after the elections and stayed in detention for fifteen days so this was the first time he spoke publicly after being released he was very well received well you don't hear a lot about nirvana is his nationalist trends if you ever go and read his while you can read about some of his movements and his words what he's calling for is for more and more people to come out to these next protests that are being planned he called for a million people to come out onto the streets certainly there is a feeling that crowds will continue to come out until their demands are met across upon the scene in a sanaa and there will continue to closely follow developments in the russian capital online as well on the need to travel to see the latest video footage from the site of the rallies calling for those new transparent elections anyone feels good about growing comment and report

i'm self policing so therefore it doesn't i just as well read it well it'll be a lot less people to worry about in terms of welfare it goes i'll be dead all right let's move forward so tell us about the article you wrote for forbes the boy wonder global nightmare yes so and this stuff goes into what you were just saying and one hundred fifty years the futures trading we've never seen people who just had a brokerage account literally find their money taken from them so this is one of those people. he's a thirty year old lawyer and he actually doesn't even practice law he has found that he's more of a self described techno geek so the hedge fund largely runs itself he hires traders and that's why he's able to go to bankruptcy court and take all this time to fight . he was able to get about eight thousand followers within two weeks other people also had their money taken and what he's doing is pulling together people at northwestern where he graduated and a couple law firms that have m.f. global clients people also whose money was taken and he's brought them all together and they're ba

well no unless of course you're delusional well more importantly the actual according to doctors like the head of doctors without borders a vaccine that works only half the time is not a shot in the arm malaria needs anything lower than seventy percent in terms of immunity is considered a failure and in this case doctors up without borders are saying that it actually is only immunizing thirty percent of children against severe malaria the form that kills the bill gates needs to inoculate himself against himself. but it also goes with what you see happening so we started the show with all these bankers claiming that they're the victims but they have such a powerful seat they have so much power that they can sit down with obama and dictate what the policy is so that they are not victims of the bottom ninety nine percent here we have the same thing that since bill gates became involved in malaria ten billion dollars has been donated and dedicated to the fight against malaria this is one hundred fold increase in the last ten years but it's going to in a business model applied to a situati

well yeah well that shows you the mentality of the people who are supposed to be the custodian of your precious metal they think paper is equivalent to metal number two this only adds credence to those who say that the comix b.m.a. don't have the physical server number three if you have a receipt at the comix it's worthless garbage you need actual metal in a vault but here's an issue of this gold and silver property being sold off and you're getting a discount but what's to say that couldn't be applied to the whole property market in the united states what if somebody just shows up at your house and they've sold it because they said oh you know bank of america went bust what if they seize bank of america mortgage holders what if they have to sell their houses in order to make good on all the bad debts of bank of america that's exactly what's coming and shows you that the derivatives traders principally these banks including bank of america and other banks have senior claim over you even though you might have a receipt or you might have a segregated account and combine that with the bom

>> well, i think it's both, really.d for romney, the challenge is to be more like gingrich, to be someone who can show that forcefulness against the president. he actually does it on the stump pretty well. but right now, he's no match for gingrich. i think newt gingrich needs to get over that hump on the economy and to be seen as a plausible president. the endorsement of the union leader was one little building block. polls showing him doing better, head to head, than he's been doing against the president. but he needs to convince a group of voters, particularly in the establishment, that he is going to be credible in the economy. the voters want both. >> i think the right wing wants to put an s.o.b. in the ring with the president, they hate him so much. they want a fellow hater, who can gas the president with hatred in his face, and romney doesn't have the equipment for that.ç politico reports, "they'll point out gingrich's past policy shifts, which can protect them from attacks against romney's own inconsistencies. t

>> well, how much will hurt him? >> you know, because he has this ability to, you know, do a jedi mind trick if you will over the people, i don't think it's going to hurt him the way that it should. i'll put it that way. i think people are still frustrated with obama, so they'll put their energy behind anybody they think can beat obama, even though the candidates continue to show just how flawed they are. >> well, will, what do you think about this virginia situation for gingrich? >> well, i think it's what happens when your book tour accidentally turns into a presidential campaign. we have seen that happen with herman cain as well. look, at first you look at this iowa thing and think, look, five out of seven republican nominees aren't getting on the ballot. something is amiss here. only ron paul and mitt romney can get on the ballot. but that being said, you know, four years ago, people like fred thompson got to the ballot in virginia. and dennis kucinich got in on the democratic side. so the rules are tough, but th

>> well, i... look, there's... there are scenes in the this movie that are beyond imagination in terms of what you have to... i mean, and the audience... the audience experienced this movie very differently than the people in it and the people watching it being made. they see it and it's very kind of compressed and reduced and heightened. they're hearing music. so you have to be... as difficult as it was often and we had... there are scenes in the movie where the crew was... literally peop were not watching. they just didn't want to watch. and you have to be careful about how you present that to an audience. although i feel violence and especially violence toward women has to be presented in a way. somebody said "oh, god that scene is offensive." well, it should be offensive. it's a rape. rape is an offensive idea. i want that to be the takeaway but you can also... you can rub people's noses in it. >> rose: tell me what you mean, christopher, by taste. >> well, exactly what i say. he doesn't go in for the sensation

that is the choice. >> well -- well, i don't quite agree with that. the choice is clear for many republicans who call themselves conservatives that it is newt gingrich, but the problem is that he cannot beat obama. >> absolutely not. one of the favorite gospel songs is as you know "he looked past my sins and saw the best in me" and they are -- >> are we going to church today? >> we are going to church, because they are look past his sins in just seeing the best in him. he is not consistently conservative, and if they were just going for the conservative credentials, you would be looking at michele bachmann or santorum, but you would not be looking at newt gingrich. >> and fern you are standi ing next to chris, i am looking like a dark skinned person, and i am just saying he looks conservative next to mitt romney. >> anybody looks consistently conservative next to mitt romney, because he is all over the map. but that is not the point. it is like anti-mitts all over the place like whack a mole, because anybody next to mitt seems more conservative. >> th

wants to but it's a long way to actually accusing a country of building a nuclear weapon isn't it well i'm willing to accuse iran of building nuclear weapons i don't think there's any question about it they're building missiles that only makes sense if they carry nuclear warheads they are paid an enormous cost internationally by insisting enriching nuclear material which will give them the opportunity to produce weapons grade material for atomic bombs or hydrogen bombs we now have from the i.a.e.a. a detailed account from a scientist who was in. all of the program and it leaves no question as to what they're doing i don't know why anyone has any doubts about what they're doing well the thing is the war in iraq has pretty much undermine the credibility of the us when it comes to starting wars and justifying wars and you were one of the key one of the chief architects of the iraq war and the allegation that many are making is that you. including by members of the bush administration is that you were looking for any kind of thing in intelligence to justify an invasion no it's not true we

well in the middle east suicide bombings are making a deadly comeback today in syria two suicide car bombs blasted damascus killing forty people the bombings came just one day after the arrival of arab league observers whose mission is to monitor syria's promise to end its crackdown on protesters those protesters are rising up against president bashar assad's regime assad is calling the protesters armed gangs meanwhile iraq is trying to recover after a series of suicide bombs tore through the neighborhood in baghdad killing at least sixty nine people many of them shiites well there's one thing to be said about both attacks we see a unifying theme of sectarian violence so what does this mean for the middle east and how does the west play into this here is my discussion with lawyer and author. i would say absolutely it's an attempt to sabotage the mission of the arab league and the attempts to try to resolve the conflict in syria in a peaceful way and also you know to try to paint a picture of what's happening in syria as just absolute chaos and instability and of course to terrorize a

well... c-span: we'll just go all the way through and come back... >> guest: the basis of our civilization... c-span: ...we'll come back to locke and then marx, the bible... >> guest: the bible; plato, 28; shakespeare, 24; lenin, 21; aristotle, homer, malcolm x... c-span: these are mentions. >> guest: ...adam smith, virginia woolf--yeah. c-span: thucydides, hegel... >> guest: oh, thucydides, six. we got--we're heading down towards the bottom here. cicero--well, that's understandable. voltaire, calvin... c-span: and the--these names are mentioned... >> guest: oh, nietzsche--now that's a surprise. c-span: yeah, it's low. >> guest: hannah arendt, goethe, hobbes, montaigne--well, we'll get montaigne in there again. c-span: let's go back to locke--john locke. >> guest: yeah. c-span: he's number one, far and away, more than anybody else. >> guest: how interesting. well, locke, 17th century british philosopher, wrote a treatise of government--second treatise of government, the one we read, a small b

well, it's hard to say. now i'm flying like a nun, you know, because -- >> you had a course, didn't you? >> i had a course from the folks at virgin. and they do a course where if you're really afraid of flying, they can really help you through it. and they did. and also, it helps that, you know, when i'm going to europe, i'm using my boss's plane to get there because he knows i'm, you know -- >> but for a long time you were getting on a bus to l.a. >> yes. >> for a 50-hour journey. >> piers, you have to travel with me, honey. >> i was told it was 50 hours. >> 23 hours. >> that's quick. >> very fast. i could get on a train, but it's harder to take the bus to, say, london. >> it's tricky. >> well, if you go on the qe2, you could put down the big thing down at the bottom but, you know. i find that, you know, i'm able to fly better. it has been a little dicey recently because, you know, people have fallen asleep in towers. >> my mother's the same as you. >> yeah. >> she has a complete phobia of flying. >> yeah.

well. of course, amazon will not tell anybody how many it's sold. that's a party line they adhered to after introducing the kindle four years ago, and they'll stick with that because they make so much money. they clearly feel they can get away with not exactly imparting sales figureses, but in this case, the kindle fire has received somewhat mixed review, and a a lot of people like it because it's a media consumption device where you play video games, watch movyings, and get access to various things through amazon's prime service paying $79 and things are shipped in two days, and a whole bunch of other things, but there are also people who are like it's too slow, it's lagging. it's interesting to see if the projections -- i think one analyst says they will ship about 4 million units between november and the end of the year. the christmas holiday is going to be a really big factor as to how it will do. it will be interesting to see if that holds into the new year. amazon 1 not just about dev

he thinks he should be on the ballot and i think rightfully so he's polled well enough he's had enough opportunity to present his case to the voters and a national platform is certainly not a fringe candidate i mean is a legitimate candidate that most republican voters in virginia are going to expand on the ballot he got ten thousand signatures for and they were all registered republicans but under virginia's new restrictive voting laws apparently if you live at seven seven seven twenty second a.v. in your voter registration card and avenue in the form you filled out you can vote for there's no question that the that the laws in virginia when it comes to actually getting on to the ballot as a republican candidate are needlessly onerous i mean the republican party you know this is the way the republican party up until now never even bothered to cross check and then this guy who was an independent sued and said the republican party doesn't cross check but i'm an independent and i have to cross-check i have to go but this the by the by the regular developers second or whatever the date is
