. >> this week on q and a, our guest is robert novak. author of "prince of darkness." >> bob novak, you tell a story in your book about al gore and the gridiron dinner. what was it? >> in the last year of the clinton presidency, bill clinton, the president, decided he would bag the gridiron dinner, where the president usually goes to speak. and he didn't like it much. it was the second time he didn't. and taking his place was al gore. i got a phone call just a few days before the dinner, wondering if i'd help in vice president gore's speech. i got a call from my friend, bob shrum, who was a media guy for gore. and what they wanted me to do was have a phony interview with him, where i would ask all kinds of questions -- not with him, but with president bush -- and they would have president bush saying "general." now, that was a little piece of tape that they got from an interview that george w. bush had done earlier with a smart aleck guy up in massachusetts, who had asked him, do you know the name of the president of pakistan, general mu

the truth is, i knew contracting very well, bob novak is a good friend of mine. i never watched the show. he have met mclaughlin actually when he tried to city on the jury ford-whit house after nixon resigned, but in any case, there i was on that show. in 1984 and after that, it led to you know being asked to be on television other shows and ultimately becoming a regular in 1988 ob the mclaughlin group. >> what impact did the mclaughlin group program have on this city? from the be zeng. >> well, you know, mclaughlin was genius for television. he could be a very difficult gy to get along with personally, although, i got along with him pretty well, but it was so much faster, and it was -- what it tried to get and succeeded a lot were the more candid outspoken views of people in journalism in washington and not just what they write. it was, and very fast moving, extremely opinionated, and you know, washington just had not seen anything quite like that. now we see a lot of that now particularly with cable news and so on, but mclaughlin groups with a breakthrough and

i get this cadre of fanatical, using bob novak of accusing me of being a tax grab. i am going to grab taxes because it is fun? >> can you give us a short definition of supply-side economics? >> the idea is is it is the opposite of demand side. keynesian economics. great miracles of growth, and prosperity will happen. the economy is like a bathtub, and if it is only 97% fall of demand, this will be sent into the economy. that was wrong. the great thing reagan did i thought was kill the keynesian predicate for a generation. he did not. i am still a supply side. my whole book is a supply-side scream in that respect because it is an unrelenting attack on 80 years of keynesian, you know, misguided policy. >> on the defense issue, when you're in the management of budget, the reagan's administration went up to about 595 naval ships. >> correct. >> we are now down to 285 naval ships. this is way beyond what it was when you were there. how does that happen? he wanted a 600 ship navy. how can we get along with the 200? >> that was probably the neocon beating of the war drums

viveka novak, i will let you take that. while you are doing that, can you explain where the money goes, what the money that is donated by these groups is used for by these candidates when it comes in through political action committees? guest: we are a research group, not an advocacy group. we don't have a proposed solution to this really difficult problem. we think it is important for voters to be aware of the money that is being spent. it up andy we tally analyze it, not just on this issue, but on all issues. where the money goes when candidates get the money directly, they spend it on advertising, all of the usual things that go into being elected, traveling around, meet and greets. yard signs, whatever. goes to media and television. that is the biggest expense these days. the larger amounts of money these groups spend independently on electing or defeating candidates, a lot of it goes into television. host: political advertising costs so much and that we see so much of. charts i want to show our viewers. this is money s
