now it's charlie crist and it's bob bennett, and it's john mccain. nobody is eligible to be a republican any more, unless you're a movement conservative at home on the same platform as birthers. you don't have to be a birther, exactly. but you've got to be at home with that far-right crowd. your thoughts? >> well, look, i think any time we have seen a political party recover from a big loss or a series of big losses, you see this. you know, this is in many ways, i would argue, this isn't new. we saw it after '76. we saw a bunch of republicans do this. and it gave republicans a huge surge in senate seats. but you saw a lot of internal churn in the republican party, the forward wing, ford wing of the party versus the reagan wing. i would push back a little bit, chris and say we have seen it before. and we've seen it, democrats have done this in their time. we look back at '8 6 and '88 and some of that. now that said, what's going on now? look, you can explain all of them individually. but i do think you see some parts of the republican party who see an

in that other bennett race was two ts, the bad news for bob bennett is only 20% of the 3500 delegates elected in last week's caucus to the may party convince are return delegates. the seven republicans running against him are all virtually unknown outside the state and they hope an anti-washington tide will sweep bennett out. take a listen to three of them this week when the tea party came through salt lake city. >> i think senator bennett is vulnerable as an incumbent. incumbents across the country are going to be thrown out of office. i believe senator bennett is going to be one of those. >> send somebody back there that isn't part of the corruption if you're going to fix the corruption. >> incumbents generally face a difficult task right now which is to convince the american people that they should be given more time in office. because we've had enough government already. >> so savannah, i guess the key word is let's just run against washington. we'll probably start seeing tv shows run against each other if they're based in washington. watch out, we might be next. >> washington bad

bennett voting yes. in this environment some say bennett cast the wrong vote. two examples, michigan and utah. now about north carolina? a labor union saying it wants to form a third party in north carolina because it thinks democrats aren't looking out for workers so much. take a look at how people break down in north carolina. according to the gallup poll you 47% democrats, 38% republicans. so you think by looking at that this is a democratic state. but look at this. let's stretch these numbers out a little bit. asked north carolinians to describe themselves, 38% are moderate. 40% are conservatives. only 18.4% say they're liberal. a country right now that has a lot of tugging by the right a lot of tugging by left in this environment the president has to name a new supreme court pick and get him through the united states senate. it is a fascinating time for the presidency of the united states. a fascinating challenge. we'll continue to talk about it as the program goes on looking not only at the challenge for president making a new supreme court pick but where

house. >> bennett lost just about everything. >> i grew up here my whole life, for 26 years. it is hard to believe. i did not believe it until i actually came back and saw it myself. >> for so many, even harder to comprehend what comes next. >> you can track storms all across the country and here at home using our interactive radar. it allows you to follow the wet weather in real time. tonight, a woman is dead, her baby alive. officials say the child was in her mother's arms when they were struck at a busy intersection in rosedale. tim joins us in the newsroom with the latest on this story. >> we do not have many details about the incident, but witnesses say it was a terrible scene. they say the intersection is known to be dangerous. >> there are always police. >> robert craig soon found out what happened. a woman and a baby were crossing the philadelphia road bridge over the beltway around 4:00 sunday afternoon when baltimore county police say a pickup truck hit and killed a woman. witnesses say the baby appeared to be ok. police said the baby was taken to shock trauma for t

bennett? in his i was out of breath. he took the first questions until i got my breath. now that's a good boss. so he is a good president. but before we're going to do this run, there was a demonstration outside, some would was bring the flight deck and he said that's the one thing that makes my blood boil. i just cannot bear that. i guess there's a constitutional protection for those honestly aside. but he said i just can't, i just can't bear. and i thought if people could hear that, they would see this is not a tongue tie dye who a love of the media accuse about the nicest most generous boss i think i ever had. you had the distance with him with ronald reagan. ronald reagan whom i regard and whom i served, both ronald reagan, there was nancy and her circle and there was a world. >> host: with reagan you always felt there was a slight shield or pisa plexiglas, what he would last into a jack warner movie studio, a story for you, but he wouldn't really engage. whereas george h. w. bush was always eager to engage. >> guest: there is always a distance. ronald reagan i can't

jack kemp big power empower america, jack kemp and bill bennett our far right. for their support of nafta. we thought that's going to cause us trouble with our ranks. but one of the reasons he was successful was that he did take approach down the middle. one of the reasons that he took the approach down the middle was the elephant stampede in 1994. i don't know if that happens to barack obama in 2010. we will see, but obviously some people predict that is what will happen. now if you get 35 seats for the republicans in 2010, will policy be more down the middle, more bipartisan? i don't know. >> host: but when it breaks effort plan, to some extent, is with the monica lewinsky and the impeachment thing. which i think historians will have some real trouble wrestling trying to figure out was that a great moral issue that the republicans took on tuesday, or was that some amazing piece of insanity were we all became polarized over something that was, should not have been our focus? >> guest: you probably know him my view. i wrote a book of on this. i that is very seri

xe investment of overseas aid that has bennett is invaluable over the last 12 years. i hope that under any party the spending on overseas aid can continue. >> i would like to add my own expressions of sympathy and condolences to the families and friends of the fallen soldiers. they served so selflessly and bravely in afghanistan and have lost their lives there this week. we owe them a huge debt of gratitude. i would also like to join in paying tribute to the two firemen who lost their lives in self hampton last night. mr. speaker is trying -- mr. speaker, he is trying to fool people that they are serious about reform. >> [shouts] >> here, in black and white, the labour party protecting their trade union. who do they think they are kidding? after sabotaging this deal, why should anyone trust a single word that they have to say on political reform? >> [shouts] >> mr. speaker, there was one person who kept the proposal from being approved. lord ashcroft. >> order, order, order. the house must calm down. members should save their voices for the conversations they will nee

over 1.1 million hours had bennett charged to the government, but only 115,000 hours were documented for repair work. you may disagree with definitions and categories, but it is less than 11%. three months later, the figure was a mere 16%. what figures would you substitute for those figures? are we simply having a verbal argument that these things are formulated the wrong way? >> we believe it is and oranges and apples comparison. >> ok. i do and note that though your response today does not have any figures about kbr on this subject, and your sixth page letter response to -- 6-page letter response had a one page of employee figures. "

police say james bennett brought a 10-year-old boy and 15 natural pearl to ocean city and gave the girl alcohol -- 15-year-old girl to ocean city. the arrest warrant is issued in ocean city. >> a supervisor is charged with stealing hundreds of give cards. andrew c. walsh is accused of opening mail and looking for gift cards. authorities is -- say he was linked to the crime after using one of the kit carts. -- using one of the gift cards. >> it is insane. it is a criminal offense, especially someone who was a supervisor. >> if convicted, he faces up to five years in prison. anyone who thinks they may be a victim is asked to call the postal hot line. here is the number. >> the nfl took its annual draft which probably had reagan stands pretty excited. >> the ravens decided to trade their first-round pick and decided not to take anyone in the first round at all. first, we will go to pete gilbert in the studio. >> the ravens looked poised to take the best wide receiver at number 25, but the cowboys traded up number 24 and grabbed another player. that is when the broncos came calling to balti

get an a if you do not have one -- bennett and -- get an aa if you do not have one. you can also look at a really lousy dropping -- really lousy job market in a different way. if you do not get your ideal job, no one will hold it against you. that means you can be much more creative about the types of things you will take on. he may not get a great job on paper the first time out, but you could find opportunities once your foot is in the door. maybe you had a grand plan for five years, 10 years, and a path to be on. let me tell you something. most of the successful people i know do not have a path that looks like the one that they started on. they have had to read-shift. re. -shift -- re-shift. commit to two years. look for a job that just could make you a more interesting, thoughtful person. >> elizabeth, everything is changing. you need new skills sets. any thoughts on that, sheila? >> we are hiring. [laughter] we are highly counter-cyclical. [laughter] i really have nothing to add. i think you need to be flexible now. for those entering the work force to find prob

i spent more defending bill bennett did on the entire rest of the news coverage. and of course to national news coverage. and we it's the only decision left tenures which fit taunt. he came at enormous cost of newspaper and we spend enormous amounts of money, unbelievable amounts of my defending him. but it's worth it and i hope as we get back to the basics of our journalism that we don't lose sight with remake that obligation we really have to stick to it from the corporate titans all the way down to the regional reporter. >> yeah, i mean, the question is that what point are you going to go to jail for a source. and you know, i rarely let it get to that because i've been able to usually take somebody's information and get it verified elsewhere. so it doesn't -- so then my original tipster who absolutely wants to remain anonymous, you know, becomes marginal or irrelevant to what we ultimately put on the air. and you know, at the same time, i will not put that person's name anywhere on my computer. i will put it on notes, anything like the so that there's no way of

i think he will get a delegation of endangered senators like harry reid or bennett or specter or others who will be on their knees at the white house saying, look, mr. president, you could lose this the senate in this election over health care and other stuff. give us a moderate. it will be ok. but if you go long on this we are going to get killed. >> he's got a moderate, solicitor general. she has a confirmable record. not a lot of talk of her in the press. there is a safe choice out there. >> and there is absolutely no indication the president wants to go long on this. if hwanted to go long, the time to do what is on the first one when you had skyrocketing approval ratings and control of e senate just as heoes now. that was the time to go long. he didn't choose to do that. he chose someone who was in the mainstream but to the left, leaving less, but acceptable in terms of her history to moderates and conservatives. >> so she would be the third woman on the accord. >> right. the left will like that, democrats will like that, but she is confirmable. she has never got -- said anything to

but it is very clear, at one point, jackie bennett called over to make sure they had the equipment ready, in the office, if she was going to wear a wire. so they were talking about that, both she and her mother were adamant about this. as to the specifics, did they really think she was going to go into the oval office and talk to bill clinton, i'm not sure that that was what they had in mind. >> and then, the request came to the centell panel to expand the assignment, mandate of the office of independent counsel and before they went to the panel they went to the department of justice, and talked to the attorney general and the deputy as to whether or not they were supportive and the doj supported the expansion of the mandate. do they have any regrets about that? you talked to the attorney general and eric holder, now the attorney general. did they regret supporting, giving the office of independent counsel this additional assignment? >> well, they did. i interviewed janet reno at her home in florida, and as you know she's a very -- thinks carefully before she answers and her answers are

because a key fact that bob bennett made clear he would have brought out at trial and made very prominent was the fact that she was engaged to be married to steve jones at the time this incident happened. and he clearly was not happy when they... the story was in the spectator indicating that paul was there. now that does... i'm not taking a position, i'm just saying that gives someone a motive to shade the truth. and of course, trooper danny ferguson who was also there said paula did not seem upset when she came out of the room. she said she wanted to be clinton's girlfriend or whatever. so i don't know. all i can tell you is i think that only two people know exactly what went on in the room. but paula jones to me is not particularly sympathetic character when you look at all of this play out. and even her own lawyers had some issues with the fact that she later posed for "penthouse" and things like that when she said she hadn't. so i just don't know what to make of the whole story. >> rose: this point is central to this book. this is about clinton and starr and you find a remarkable com

. >> reporter: the violent winds pushed a giant oak tree on thin through richard bennett's home. >> so used to, you know, coming home to this house every day for so many years, and so many memories growing up here. and you know, now even just looking at the inside of the house the way it is, it's, you know, it's hard to picture the way it used to be. >> reporter: but then not much of anything seems the same. along the wide and deadly path left behind by the storm. it is sure to be a long and very difficult recovery process, especially in the hardest-hit areas like this one where crews now say it could be more than a full month before basic services like water and electricity can be restored. in yazoo city, missy, jay gray, news moor. >> want to get to chuck bell now. the same system from mississippi is bringing that swath of potentially severe storms we're looking at right now. >> the very latest, we're still watching for a tornado warning now into washington county, maryland. the last warning expired officially at 6:15. but this storm has al indications that they're going to have to c

>> william bennett was the education secretary. >> the very first education secretary was shirley hostetler, a judge in ninth sector -- ninth as a appeals appointed by jimmy carter. >> the point is education secretary -- >> he was one of them. >> but the one who really put -- >> let me questioned the proposition you are making, too, when you talk about government -- what government? the conservatives would argue of course we need a government. we can be an anarchy cut -- notwithstanding the view of the tea party years. the question, which government knows best -- it depends on the issue. a huge discussion about health care. how to be administered? many people, you are one of them, believe insurance companies to continue to be regulated at the state level. the problem has been insurance companies are able to meet -- take advantage of the patchwork of state government regulators, some that are more strong than others and are oftentimes able to come as a result, provide substandard health care protection. >> an unintended consequence has been -- the stripping of insurance companies using diffe

a hand on her hips don't even think about messing with me, doctor bennett on grey's anatomy can. agents called on the exiles, brandon johnson as the chief on the closer, or even the first female president's in 20 and the short-lived series, and then she. advertisements tell women that they have achieved so much they should celebrate by buying themselves their own diamond ring for the right hand, and urge their poor flaccid husband crippled by epidemic of emasculation and erectile dysfunction to start main buying viagra or cialis. indeed, in films from dumb and dumber, to super bad, guys are hopeless losers. and sex and a city with its characters who are successful professionals by day, and, sutra master spy not, there was no such thing as a double standard. women had as much sexual freedom and maybe even more kinky sex then the men. cosmo isn't for passive girls waiting for the right guy to find them. it's the magazine for the fun, fearless female who is also proud to be as almost every cover puts it, a sex genius. have a look at oh, the magazine is one giant all-encompassing thr

yesterday senator bennett and i had the opportunity to meet with nasa administrator, former general and now administrator charlie bolden to urge him to reevaluate the decision included in the president's budget request for nasa to terminate the constellation program. this program is developing the successor to the retiring space shuttle known as the orion capsule and the aries rocket. those two technologies will be teamed up in the planning that was brought together. now, we had a frank and productive discussion with administrator bolden. senator bennett and i discussed with him the importance of this program especially of the orion capsule to jobs in colorado and more importantly in space. general bolden assured us he wants to be flexible and work with congress on this nasa budget and that he's committed to human space flight. in other words, madam president, the president's budget request is the beginning of a long process and i was pleased to hear general bolden is set on working with elected members of this congress to chart a future course for nasa and america's leadership in space

it's my pleasure to be here with bill bennett, an old friend, somebody who has written now a third in a trilogy of history books. there were two great volumes you did on american history, that ended in 1989, and now you're doing a slightly slimmer volume to continue it, to the present. is that -- you see it as part of a trilogy? >> guest: it is part of a trilogy, it is "the century turns," but it is the third in the trilogy. the reason i was a little reluctant, you've written history books, this history is pretty close to us, so i was worried about perspective, objectivity, but because of "america's last best hope" are available in the public schools, teachers like to believe they're going to get up to the present. i say that because usually they don't make it, but they like to believe they're going to get their students up to the present, so they asked me to. >> host: "america's last best hope" tried to in some way teach history the way we did, from what you might call a leftist or a baez or a bias that didn't really glorify the triumphs of american exceptionalism, would you say that

i spent more defending bill bennett did on the entire rest of the news coverage. and of course to national news coverage. and we it's the only decision left tenures which fit it's worth it and i hope as we get back to the basics of our journalism that we don't lose sight of it. we have to really stick to it from the corporate titans down to the reporter. >> the question, at what point are you willing to go to jail for a source?

chairman. >> senator bennett? >> thank you for holding this hearing and thank you for your testimony. it's been fascinating. on the flexibility question we were talking about earlier, i think maybe one way -- there's a difference between giving people the flexibility to do something and giving people the flexibility to do nothing. which has been the outcome in too many places, i think. but having said that, i'd say the most turbulent thing i ever did when i was superintendent of schools was close schools and turn around schools. i learned a lot of lessons and learned how to do it better. but there are always ways of doing it better. i think one of the things that keeps people from doing this work is that turbulence. and the problem with that is that kids end up in institutions where they're not learning anything year after year after year. and they just pull further and further behind. i know new visions has done a lot of work in this area. i wonder if you would share a little bit about what you -- about how to di

senator bennett. i have a great deal of questions about this. >> thank you very much, ma dame chairman. i appreciate your courtesy of allows me to participate in this. general bolden, i'm a businessman. >> yes, sir. >> if i were sitting on the board of directors and you were making this pitch to the board of directors has to the direction in which you are going to take the company, i would tell you haven't made the sale. let me give you four areas where i think you have failed to make the sale. by the way, madame chairman, i have a formal statement, i would appreciate it put in the record. [inaudible response] >> the four areas are number one the science, number two, the protecting the industrial base, number three, the money; and number four, the law. let me run through those very quickly and then you can respond to them as you will. you made a statement just now that i find incredible. when you say the demonstrated reliability of aries is zero. now you probably have seen this. but let me show it to

jack kemp and bill bennett. we thought oh, boy, this is going to cause us trouble with our ranks. but look, one of the reason he was successful was that he did take an approach down the middle. one of the reasons that he took the approach down the middle was the elephant stampede in 1994. i don't know, with newt gingrich. i don't know if that happens to barack obama in 2010. we will see but some people are predicting that's what will happen. if you get 35 seats for the republicans in 2010, we'll policy be more down the middle, more bipartisan? i don't know and. >> host: but where it breaks down for clinton, and to some extent is with the monica lewinsky and impeachment things. which i think it stories are going to have some real trouble wrestling trying to figure out was that a great moral issue that the republicans took on the streets a, or was that some amazing piece of insanity would all became polarized over something that should not have been our focus? >> guest: you probably know my view. i wrote a book about this cause of death of outrage. very serious morally and ethicall

it's my pleasure to be here with bill bennett, an old friend, someone who's written now a third in a trilogy of history books. there were too great volumes you did on american history that ended in 1989, and now you are doing a slightly slower volume to continue it to the present; is that how you see it is part of a trilogy? >> guest: is part of a trilogy. the book is "a century turns" but it's the third of a series america's last best hope. i was reluctant. you know, you've written history books. this is close to us, was worried that perspective object to the but because america last best hope first two volumes are now in schools, available in public schools, teachers like to believe they are going to get up to the present. i say that because usually they don't make it but they like to believe they are going to get their students to the present so they asked me. >> host: america last best hope in some ways tried to in your mind right the way we teach history a little bit from i think he felt there was what he would call leftist or buy a used didn't to glorify the triumph of american

as you stand in the small study whose decorations include a portrait of the artist painted by tony bennett, it is impossible not to be touched by the aspiration visible wherever you look. this it is clear was the home of a working man, bursting with a pride that came not from what he had but what he did. i never want to be anything more than i am and what i don't have i don't need armstrong said in his old age. my home is good but you don't see me and no biggest big estates and yachts. that ain't going to play your horn for you. in common with other self-made man, armstrong sometimes forgot that his success was due not solely to working, but also to the talent with which he had been born. he was a man of countless generosity to preached the stony gospel with individual responsibility. a ferociously ambitious artist who preferred when he could to do as he was told. an introspective man, who exploded with irrepressible vitality when he stepped into the spotlight. at joyous genius who confounded his critics by refusing to distinguish between making art and making fun. no more than any other g

if the group demands that you do certain kinds of things in order to become a member, you become the bennett on those demands, you might do anything. and if the group is the wrong kind of group, you might be actually a dangerous person. so the good thing is happiness. the bad thing is depending on that for your sense of fulfillment. that's the problem. >> who is dying for evan? >> people diaphragm to feel like they don't belong. and that they need to prove themselves in order to belong. the group that tells them that they're going to heaven is usually a religious group. but the problems that they have to begin with is not a religious one. the problem that they have is they don't belong. and that's what's happening around the middle east and asia today, there's too many people no longer belong in any recognizable group. that's what you see all the violence there and not here. >> how did you come up with your theories? >> i have been doing psychology of religion for over 20 years, and i've studied other cases of people injuring themselves for religion. for example, rights of passage or pilgrim

who would have predicted this, utah senator bob bennett has been under attack for being a washington insider. can he fight off attacks from his right and hold on to his seat? we don't even know who is running against him and this guy has a hard time, right, alex? alex? >> maybe the most, best-known candidate running in the race is an attorney naked mike lee, a former prosecutor, his father was a solicitor-general. but doesn't have much of a political profile on his own. he's hoping to take advantage of what is really a petty unusual nominating process out there. there's a convention that's really activist dominated and if one candidate can get 60% of those activists behind them, they can get the nomination. now mitt romney is going out to that event to win votes for him. he's one of the most popular politicians in the state. it's a test of romney as well as for the senator. >> that is fascinating. steve, take a look at kentucky, this gop race is no tea party. it's getting nasty between trey grayson, the establishment candidate, and rand paul, ron paul's son. how does that look? >> ra

senator bennett? >> thank you very much, madam chairman. i very much appreciate your courtesy in allowing me to participate in this. general bolden. i'm a businessman. if i were sitting on the board of directors and you were making this pitch to the board of directors as to direction you are going to take the company, i would tell you you haven't made the sale. let me give you four areas where i think you have failed to make the sale. by the way, madam chairman, i have a formal statement i would appreciate it being put in the record. the four areas that i think you haven't made the sale are number one, the science. number two, protecting the industrial base. number three, the money. and number four, the law. let me run through those very quickly and then you can respond to them as you will. you made a statement just now that i find incredible. when you say the demonstrated reliability of ares is zero. now, you have probably seen this but let me show it to you.

>> no, how about the were bennetts in the united states, the orthodox -- i'm not saying that these are the same. what i'm saying is the issue of gender equality is a bit teen them from the things they need to talk about which are discrimination against women -- [applause] discrimination against women in the west and discrimination against muslims in many of these western countries. okay, but i still have a question. i do have a question that i'm going to get to because in my own sort of feminist secular feminist speaking about these things, obviously questions come up that are disturbing, but it seems to me the questions have to be asked within the context of a nuanced appreciation of the way in which the issue of gender a quality has been instrumental in his for political reasons that have very little to do in the end with feminist goals on either side of the fences. so the same issue that professor ramadan is always accused by president sarkozy and many other people as well of decking on is the question of the stoning of adulterous women. i actually think that his solution to the pro
