territory though some americans still don't know about. the scope of the ask i've no idea about a lot stuff like nothing i don't know anything about that alaska is cold. it was cold a box of ice a polar bear garden and one russia but in the language of the indigenous peoples the word alaska means the great land. sven haakanson is steering his boat out of the narrow bay of kodiak island his ancestors have lived here since time immemorial. over the thousands of years they to solve this seascape each time they put out to sea to hunt. but they use narrow canoes with a couple of paddles instead of comfortable motor boats with powerful engines in the past yes it was very very difficult to hunt as an individual you need to group in order to. nor to actually capture for example you look at the sea lines over here in order for you to hunt one of those you need several people. on a summer day and seven hundred forty one scores of you need it's of the land set out on a hunting expedition in canada's they spotted odd looking ships on the horizon. thos

americans now rejecting it. i can't name, maybe you can, i can't name three democrats that are running on this bill they passed. why are they not out there touting what you say is the greatest bill since sliced bread? >> there are some members of congress. >> sean: who. >> earl pomeroy and russ feingold are two, there may be others. there's been a lot of misinformation. this is huge, transformational, obviously it is going to generate, dissention, debate, misinterpretation this is not unusual. this happened in social security. barkley ran to repeal social security after it was passed. medicare the same thing. we've had a lot of examples through the last century major historic pieces of legislation that have been extremely controversial when they passed only to be appreciated as time goes on. i guarantee you that is going to happen with this as well. >> sean: you say it is misinformation. that sounds to me like the american people are too dumb to see the wisdom in great bill we passed. i would argue it is the opp

i wish every american city had one. if anybody comes to denver the city of john elway, i hope if they are going to see in remarkable museum about terrorism around the world. i'm here tonight to talk about threats to the united states. but i have to say, your opening these guys create the longest, deepest recession, since the great depression. in june more americans were on food stamps than ever before in history. the democrats have become the party of food stamps. the republicans are becoming the party of paychecks. the guys who have made the unemployment, killed the jobs, created the food stamps are now complaining that the american people don't like that future? i think it is sad they can't stand up and defend their own policies. >> sean: what you are saying is that if you want unemployment, you want food stamps, vote for the democrats. if you want a job. if you want a paycheck. vote for republican. is it really that simple? is that what this debate has now become? >> look, i think it is that clear. if you look at the

we look at columbus iraq to the american people look at andrew jackson heroes that presidents american people actually sent to cherokee in on the trail of tears and thousands of them died we look at the. odd terrible things that the big hero abraham lincoln did abraham lincoln the fine example american heroes he ordered the biggest mass execution off and united states history and it was of native american people thirty two dakota and by the order of abraham lincoln on one day and a public hanging with celebration to go with it is this this nation holds on to these heroes with blood on their hands and that's something the nation has to deal with itself and people make up the nation and people need to start looking realistically at who the nation is words come from what it's founded on how it was used to go forward does it wish to go forward with nothing or does it wish to go forward with truth. now lastly i think some people would say that perhaps you can't hold people like christopher columbus. who are from the fifteenth or sixteenth centuries you can't hold them to the same standards

up next, american voices. what unemployed voters in the bellwether state of ohio are saying about the economy, the president, and the direction of the country. >> couric: this is the year of >> couric: this is the year of the dissatisfied voter, unhappy with the way incumbents are doing their jobs and not crazy about the candidates running to replace them. in fact, in our cbs news poll, more than half of likely voters told us they wished there were other choices on the ballot. so why are voters so dissatisfied, even angry this year? we went to ohio, a state that often reflects the mood of the nation, to ask them and listen for our new series: "american voices." ♪ this land is your land this land is my land ♪ . >> couric: two days before his election, barack obama delivered a message of hope to the working families of cleveland. >> we are two days away from bringing change to america. >> couric: today, the streets tell the story. the signs are all around-- hope is fading, frustration is growing. everyone is

americans are vulnerable. >> julie: the stepped up american drone attacks, back to that, in pakistan, the u.s. is aware of knowledge that i guess the pakinstanis blocked a key u.s. supply route into afghanistan. so essentially pakistan is playing two wars here. how does the u.s. react with the u.s. knowing and having this knowledge, what's the next step? >> my concern is the government in pakistan is fragile. you've got various noises coming out of the military. it's unhappy with the president. after the floods, there is a lot of support among pakinstanis for the taliban in afghanistan against the united states. and we have to keep in mind that pakistan cannot go in and take and occupy and govern the tribal areas. it can't. it doesn't have enough soldiers. so we are on a tight rope here. >> julie: and i guess pakistan, that's a good way to put it. finds itself in a tricky situation as well because it knows it has to accommodate the u.s. meantime, it realizes when the u.s. eventually leaves, which is very interesting, very similar to an iraq, when the u.s. eventually leaves afghanistan

is that good for american business? i don't think so you want to elect people who will not pass small business tax cut. is that really good for business? it is a really right-wing, big corporate agenda, not small business agenda, not business agenda. it's corporate. and i think that needs to be gotten across. >> i think that every fair-minded american in this election cycle should be asking his or herself the question, is it right to have foreign money in our elections? i mean, there's -- it is all set up for the back scratch here. send your jobs, america, to our country. we will filter some money back to you through the chamber of commerce so we can fight this labor thing. i mean it is just amazing to me. so, how could conservatives, now this is where the money is going, you have got the chamber of commerce now going to be sending some money to run against joes stack. and the conservatives say that they love the troops. excuse? he mr.es stack is the highest ranking military officer ever elected to the congress. he is r

the work of the union of south american countries is very very important that american countries will form an alliance so an optimistic they're in transition to our real independence and i think that our continent is in search of an identity working out a new attitude yourself and it takes on a what is necessary to remember that for a long time latin america was the backyard of the united states and that's what it was called the united states destroyed almost all of latin american governments had the only vision of independence united states invaded mexico panama iraq. there were numerous coups in venezuela argentina brazil act could all live in. one hundred fifty years there was no single latin america without the move the american empire being involved with the man in addition to the empire made sure that the government of each country was composed of its lackeys. you once said in an interview that a permanent reason for the conflict between when israel and colombia that was a lie created by the laboratory what laboratory did you mean and how does this mechanism of light production

dot com a blog described as a regular antidote to that means to media and author of the american way of war how bush's wars became obama's sir thank you for sitting down with us today could be here i'd like to start off by taking a look at the extent of the u.s. military presence throughout the world right now it's global i mean that's the first thing you can say the pentagon is a little hard to tell in detail the pentagon usually at mit's to about yearly to about eight hundred military bases or sites from macro to micro but in their count they don't include anything in a war zone and at tom dispatch you know we've done some reporting for instance on the afghan war or the present afghan war zone where we have upwards of four hundred bases again from tiny combat outposts to the norm of basically american towns with boardwalks with fast food joints and whatever that we just built more or less from scratch and there are certain countries where the countries are embarrassed that their military bases there it's really hard to say i mean eight hundred to a thousand maybe more depending on

public actually saw what american foreign policy is doing americans may start questioning that foreign policy which is rather taboo right now. i think that's exactly right i think isaacson's words were precisely what they sounded like on first impression i think it's a clarification and sends the opposite message because the message she meant to send in the message she did send sounded unusual i guess upon reflection look at the shadow that hangs over conversations like this is the iraq war and i think many people at this point and some people at the time understood that the american media largely failed the american public and the public of the entire world for that matter in how it covered the iraq war the internet gave americans a chance to see english language news from a different perspective you could read british newspapers and you get a very different sense of the debate over the iraq war the debate over the evidence so now we have the introduction of additional voices we're understanding that journalism comes with a point of view american journalism or any other kind of journa

but the american economy, it's healing. parts of it look very strong and impressive now if you look at high tech, you look at manufacturing, look at agriculture. you look at industrial production. they came out of the crisis much more quickly, really quite strong. even private investment growth that slowed a bit, even private investment growth, investment by businesses and capital invest system expanding at a healthy clip. the reason why it's slower, charlie, than we'd like is fundamentally goes back to the causes of the crisis. you know, we you had a crisis caused by the fact that as an economy we were living way beyond our means. people were borrowing more than they could afford. they were spending more than they earned and you had these huge growth in leverage in the financial sector and when you have a recession, a crisis caused by that, it takes more time to dig out of it. and the things that are causing growth to feel slower now, to seem slower, weaker now, are fundamental to the process of healing. we see weakness in

and actually bragging about it and americans are remarkably detached from the wars that being fought are being fought in their names and the various other military positions and so on and so forth on the globe it's one of the things that i focus on as is just the degree to which we are doing things that americans could know about basically don't we have to put some of that blame on the media who is essentially responsible for bringing some of that information to the u.s. and i have to ask you do you feel like the media and the military are sort of sleeping in the same bed at this point i think the military may have but there's a there's a history with the military of a post vietnam history of trying to put journalists in bed with it when you are embedded with the military there's an element of stockholm syndrome there just has to be with it and. you tend to if you're out with american troops in afghanistan you are in the end i mean your life is at stake you are at the end going to a dead a fight with american troops let me ask you this you've spent years the ciphering sort of the mil

advance an agenda that most americans vehemently epose. in fact, the more americans spoke out against government takeovers, government run health care, wasteful spending and debt, the more democratic lawmakers seemed to dig in. >> juliet: in the same address, he accused democrats of maxing out the nation's credit card. both parties fighting for the upper hand a month before the elections. >> rick: is the senate minority leader right? is the democratic party out of touch with ordinary americans? according to a brand-new fox news opinion dynamic poll, 51% of interested voters are putting their trust in republicans. so what can democrats do to turn this around? joining us democratic strategist and former special assistant to president clinton richard, and david is here, a republican strategist and former director of planning for house speaker newt gingrich. thank you. richard, let's start with you. what's up with your guys? i'm wondering because for a long time we heard all the democrats call the republicans a party of no. now the republicans

this was american enterprise inspiring american flaunt pi. >> just in the face of complete and total advocation of responsibility for state governments. >> and by national government. absolutely. yeah, the war ended, and let's not talk about the level of injustice. >> right. >> but here he walked in as a philanthropist and a major corporate leader, and he said, if you collect funds from each other and whatever you want to do to raise money, i will match it and get the money we need, and i'll see to it that you get a school built. >> you know the southern ymca's did the same thing. >> right, and they were funded by him. >> yes, right, the jewish philanthropist building ymca's all over the south, it was great.

[applause] this is a place where we all call home. we recognize there are a lot of issues in our communities these days, but this is a place we all call home, so the message that the apa heritage celebration committee would like you to take with you after this celebration is that we believe heritage and culture is something that we are proud of and something that we can all share. there is common ground in many traditions and common values among communities of all colors that we can all appreciate. we, the committee, are committed to take every opportunity to invite all communities to come together in occasions like this, to connect, to open doors ..., to get to know each other more. we need to do that in this city, and i know that today is not the first day, but every day can be the first day of forever. i want to thank you for coming as we

the american people want performance. on every criteria of comparison, this congress is moving america ahead. i have to leave now. but this congress has been extraordinarily productive. although, it has been contentious. i claim some degree of credibility in working in a bipartisan fashion with others on the foreign intelligence surveillance act to make america secure, on the help america vote at to make america have a better democracy, and other items for the security and welfare of our nation. and for july, the party of note -- unfortunately, the party of no developed a strategy of obstructionism. as a result, it magnifies the assertion that nothing is done by their pledge to america. >> the house took the lead to work with president bush to work out of the financial crisis. we were told -- and because we ask, not because they felt it was their responsibility to tell us -- on september 18, 2008, we were told that, if we did not act immediately, there would be no economy on monday. that was a thursday night. there would

guest: african-americans vote for african-americans for a variety of reasons. around the country, you see different americans living in different conditions. many times people have different ideas about what is important in their lives. a candidate in new york is running on something different than someone in rural alabama. host: washington, d.c., filled up. -- phillip. caller: washington, d.c. it is no stranger to race politics. he looks at a candidate, sees with their platform is in relation to what he would like to see in office. do you vote democrat down the line? guest: i voted for a friend of my mother who was a republican in college. for the most part, i will vote for the democrat. i have a hard time voting for republicans who are against my interests, even if there is a democrat who will not express my best interests. host: this morning, cnn is talking about not only the african-american vote, but the lending enthusiasm of young voters. ging enthusiasm of young voters. guest: we have seen the excitement go up since 2006. you want to see young voters aga

they're doing it in a way shocking americans. americans have a right to know who is funding the campaign ads. any republican who wants to stand up and say no, americans don't have a right to know, i would encourage them. >> the abc headline said tim kaine worried karl rove may be right. obviously referencing rove's claim that donations have been pouring in since the reality of the situation involving particularly the u.s. chamber of commerce and rove's nominations have gotten traction. are you indeed karl rove may be right and this is turning into a funding thing for republicans? >> no, and i never said that in any interview. we're pointing this out because we think the polling suggests, but more important, the right and wrong of this suggests the republicans are pushing a secret agenda. and the story of this, for the reporters that care to focus on it. and i'm glad that you are is that the republicans are running an effort to hide donors for the american public. the reason they're doing that is the american public would be shock

i will say the frustrations of several of the south americans called me to have a listen. you must have heard a mexican leader say poor mexico so far from god and so close to the united states to suit them all of us latin americans could say the exact same thing our poor america so far from god and so close to the damned empire the yankee empire that has hurt our confidence so badly. today we have a president hugo chavez not mincing his words on thursday nights here in the russian town for the railing against words he closed the empire of the yankees he also publicly refuted the spanish claim that venezuela was housing training counts for it's a terrorist he said but that is also an example of the reach and then them of the american aggressive foreign policy however he did it to end on a slightly more subdued they'd say can we just recently putin's with which he holds a bit has made his relationship with russia. and they have more on this throughout the day of course. thank you for that. one in ten germans apparently believe that country needs a new furia a word which lite

i still believe in american exceptional as some. -- american exceptional as some. that is what is on the line. from the beginning of america to the present, americans always believed they were going to leave behind a better country than they inherited from their parents. when polling started with the gallup organization, they began to ask that question on surveys. do you think you will leave behind a better country for your children and your parents love for you? for the first time, americans clearly doubt that. we are at crossroads, ladies and gentleman. it is up to us to decide which passed we take. which brings me to west virginia. i hear tell the governor is popular and doing a good job and i know you agree with me that he ought to stay there and do the job he was elected to do.

these disgruntled americans that are angry with our government are in bracing that. well you have to look at where sarah palin comes from sir pale and behold from the mccain campaign which was of course barack obama's opposition during the two thousand and eight presidential run and she didn't have anything to say about the bailouts and mccain in fact suspended his campaign on the eve of the vote to go back to washington and turn it into a campaign stunt so sarah palin was part of the political process that took the theft of seven hundred billion dollars of taxpayer money and made it a political statement that the people of this country would embrace that and forget about it just shows how shorter attention span is in this country it's unfortunate but i guess i really shouldn't be surprised if the american standard think of going to be well that's the thing right is that sarah palin has this charm she knows how to simplify things she knows how to dumb it down for americans. because if you look at really the basis right of the tea party of what our issues are which is

why should american voters send your party to washington? first, congressman cantor, why should voters give republicans another chance? >> clearly, bret, over the last 20 months the country has seen what the other party has had to offer. unfortunately, there hasn't been a lot of coming together in terms of trying to come up with solutions to get people back to work. and now, we have got a sense across the country with unemployment hovering around 10%, 86% of the country knowing someone who is out of a job, people want things to get better. as you know, the democratic candidates across the country are running as fast as they can from the agenda that president obama and speaker pelosi put forward. whether it is the stimulus bill or cap and trade energy bill or the healthcare bill, all of those things have not even been discussed on the campaign trail because they are wildly unpopular and on top of all that we have laid over $4 trillion of additional debt on to the backs of our working families and small businesses in the last two years because
