please join me in welcoming her zogby. [applause] >> thank you very much. i am not sure that the conflict resolution notion -- she is in charge. my wife is here and i am willing to say yes, dear. [laughter] thank you very much for hosting me. you know, when the gaithersburg oak festival first came to me it was back in november, early part of november. the book had just come out and i was at the national press club or their annual book fair. they invited me to calm. so much has changed since then in the middle east. not only arab spring but lebanese government came and went and developments in the gulf as a result of increased oil revenues. obviously the changes in egypt and rebellions occurring across the region. but while so many things have changed there so little has changed here. and therefore i wouldn't write a change of words in the book that i wrote. actually the publisher is coming out with a book in paperback at the end of the year and asked me, do you want to redo anything? i said actually i don't. i will do an introduction that will bring it up t

zogby. what amazes me is is like having someone misdiagnosed.information in the media is amazing. it is very unfair. 80% of the oil comes from canada, mexico, and venezuela. 8% or less comes from saudi arabia. the arab world is like another planet out there, some people say. only 8% comes from the middle east for arab world. about 1/3 of the arab nations are actually catholic, greek orthodox, or christian. the terrorists represent less than 1% of the world. the more they make them famous, the more they make them more powerful. the media talks about how much they will do to us. the paranoia is not healthy for the world war america. it plays to their ego and makes them more dangerous. host: we will get a response. thank you for calling. guest: the last point is so critical. it is so important. there was no question about the degree to which our country was traumatized by the horrific act of terror on 9/11. we made bin laden larger than he needed to be. we begin talking about global caliphates. listening to the last administration talk about the mo

about whom most americans know almost nothing really all and i should add also that thanks to john zogby and zogby international, all of the polling data, including pages and pages of democratic -- demographic breakdowns is now in the position of cesium and education center, which is exactly where it belongs. there is also the sheer mystery of the best i've tried to think about doing this book thanks to a whole host of researchers, including the other indomitable florence, florence wheeler who finally nailed down the chapman genealogy. we have these tantalizing hints of john chapman. we know where and when he was born. we know more or less when he died on the wiki's can certainly be made that whoever is interred at the chapman appleseed gravesite in fort wayne is not john chapman. we are promissory notes and apple orders in his hand. we even have the wonderful trading post ledger back in warren, pennsylvania that shows chapman purchased two small histories shortly after crossing the alleghenies with his brother, daniel in nearly 1797. histories of what? priest royalty? ancient rome? anci

and i should add also as an aside that thanks did john zogby and zogby international all that polling data including pages and pages of demographic break downs is now in the possession of this museum and education center which is exactly where it belongs. there was also the sheer mystery of odalys it looked at this and tried try to think about doing this book. thanks to a whole host of researchers including the other indomitable florence, florence wheeler who finally nailed down the chapman genealogy we have these tantalizing hints of john chapman. we know where and what he was born, we know more or less where and when he died salt though the case can be made whoever centered at the chapman gravesite in ft. wayne is not john chapman. we have promissory notes and we even have that wonderful trading post ledger back in warren pennsylvania that shows chapman purchased quote to too small history shortly after crossing the alleghenies with his brother nathaniel in the early 1797 but history of what? royalty, ancient roman aging greece? there is no way to know unfortunately. trying to penet

and dr james zogby president of the america of the arab american institute welcome gentlemen thank you very much. question just in general to either or both of you was there really anything new in the speech what was what was in your minds dunes. so i think if if the speech was directed at an american audience what was what was important is the president reframing the democracy debate and challenging congress in particular to step up to the plate this is a slash and burn congress but it's a congress that says they support democracy and transformation in the middle east president said that's going to cost us there's a lot we have to do if we want this to happen and that aid and trade programs that he talked about are going to require congress not to cut programs that the very programs that congress wants to cut so he's asking for money i think it was a very well crafted appeal to congress that if you want to see tunisia and egypt move forward please don't do some of the things you want to do so that was part of it may think it was it knew as much as it was him trying to take the ground
