ford requires the environmental protection agency to keep toxic chemicals from getting into our water americans drinking water . cheney didn't care about public safety but he did care about how about bottom line after all he was a big halliburton stock holder when he became vice president and so he joined the lobbying efforts to get congress to carve out an exemption for fracking in the safe water drinking act thanks to that car about what's called the halliburton loophole the e.p.a. can't regulate fracking poisons even when they get into our water supply but cheney and his oil industry buddies didn't stop there in two thousand and five congress also gave the natural gas industry an exemption from having a write up reports on its activity under the national environmental policy act an expanded exemption from having to follow clean water act regulations on what kind of chemicals that can dump in storm water runoff coupled with existing exemptions to a variety of pollution laws like the clean air act the resource conservation recovery act the superfund act in the emergency planning comm

as you heard from my friend, gerald ford went on to lose to a very weak democratic candidate named jimmy carter. ronald reagan went on to win in 1980, 84, two of the biggest american landslides in history. the popular vote i would remind karl rove at the electoral college. [applause] having campaigned personally in 1970s and 80 i 80 i want you to listen to me. i feel certain he would be enormously proud of you. in fact he would have been thrilled to stand before you write here and thank you for all you're doing and all you've done and congressional a.q. on this fifth tea party movement. i think it's appropriate to end my comments with a true wisdom from president ronald reagan which is the last paragraph in my book liberty and tierney, which most of you have heard by now. but i'm going to repeat it anyway. for those of you that haven't. reagan wrote and said this many times. freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. we didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. it must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same. for one day we will spend

ronald reagan used it, gerald ford, richard nixon, bill clinton used it. >> but the argument is he's going further and setting policy. >> how different is that from george w. bush looking into legislation and checking off what he liked and didn't like. if i were a republican, i would be complaining that the president is doing it as well, they're there fighting and saying they don't want to have that. the fact of the matter is, every president does this. it's like the filibuster. you don't want to touch it. >> between john mccain, talking about ted cruz hurting his party. he forced what was in effect a meaningless debt ceiling vote. rick, mccain has never been a fan of cruz, called him a wacko bird before, but he's creating some serious problems for moderate republicans. >> i think we blew a debt ceiling vote yesterday, to get this stink on them that wasn't necessary politically. look i don't love raising the debt ceiling. i think our debt is going to come back some day and bite us on the tail we don't know what hit us. obamacare, obamacare, obamacare, these pointless debt fights do n

early 1975, vietnam is winding down and gerald ford is president, the jeffersons are on tv. and in a washington suburbs, the lyons sister, sheila and katherine vanished, last seen by their older brother who became an officer in the same police department that announced that 39 years later they are looking at this man. >> they've identified a man who is currently incarcerated as a child sex predator and we've established that this man was at wheaton plaza on that day and may have had contact with the lyon girls. >> reporter: the mall they walked to was popular, only half a mile from home. and many parents in those days had few fears about abduction. but in the weeks and then years that followed with no bodies found, no arrests made, their case along with many others awakened the national awareness about missing children. >> we're about to celebrate our 30th anniversary. when we first opened our doors, the recovery rate for missing children was in the low 60%. today, that has improved to almost 98%. >> reporter: the lyon girls are still missing, could be alive, but the family

he said this in 1976 when he was taking on gerald ford who claimed to be a conservative. when ford lost he a blamed it on reagan some then the bush family rose up and howard baker and try to stop reagan. they said he cannot win arranges extremist. the same kind of language -- devil's advocate -- you're pointing out. the opinion is an articulate, knowledgeable, conservative, with artic utable agenda who do it with confidence is going to win. >> i don't seive that yet among -- i don't see that yet among the cast of characters. ronald reagan had an ability to coalesce all of that. >> no. matter of fact in '74 and '75 he was crashed heavily by "the wall street journal." he was trashed heavily within his own party. >> i know. the voodoo economic things. i'm saying, today, of that crowd think the cruzs and rand pauls and others do you think they would be able to bring all of that together in an appealing way to the american people if for some reason or another, looks at these guys with raised eyebrows. >> i don't know. >> i want you to know. you're a rock star. >> that's the na

a harry truman, b, dwight eisenhower, c, gerald ford, d ronald reagan. this week's book of the week is "the steps across the water" by adam gopnik whom you just heard from. this is a children's book written with style. it's a fantasy set in new york with central park, skyscrapers, zeppelins and the chrysler building and much more. buy it for a young relative. and now for the last look. after the kind of winter we've had here in new york, upgrades on winter coats have been the style of the season. at the city's recent fashion week, one of the must-have items was a fabs plus fur. halfway aerds across the world these south african men are sporting fur of their own during a religious ritual. carrying warrior shields the men are wearing the traditional ceremonial attire of the shemby religion, a monkey tail loin cloth, ostrich feathers on their head, a leopard skin belt and a leopard skin cape and perhaps fashion designers should copy this african custom. you see, for some of the members, the fur is fake. in fact, it's made in china. the international trade o

i guess my answer is reagan fought a sitting president in gerald ford in 1976 and nearly won. i look at the republican party today and i see them as timid, afraid of their own shadow. i don't find them very inspiring. i don't think they're offering an alternative. for example, i put up conservative solutions, the penny plan to balance the budget. the balanced budget amendment, health care savings accounts. term limits, school choice, securing the borders. all of these are ideas that i would imagine that the establishment and the tea party could agree on and they could say elect us and we'll do these things. do you see something that is missing here? >> no, i think they have -- they don't have the forces. they're just like george washington was when he was fleeing from the british. when he had the forces and advantage he attacked. >> you don't think they should go out now with an alternative because the president's numbers have never been lower? >> oh, i advocated until i'm sick of it, that the republicans ought to speak up and say what it is specifically and so on. but as far

listen, i remember 1976, ronald reagan against gerald ford and the establishment republicans ridiculed reagan as being crazy and extremist and a bomb thrower and an actor and intellectually incompetent and of course he was the greatest force for conservative principles in governance in the post world war era and proved enormously successful. to me, the tea party are the true republicans who are most faithful to the constitution who represent small government and maximum individual liberty and the appropriate balance what the federal government should do and what the states should be doing. and republicans who deviate from that, like john boehner and company, like the leadership in the house and the senate will do so at their peril. >> what do you think of the peril of -- power of the tea party now, charles? >> i think it has been a very positive influence. the power, i think, is one that could easily have remained outside of the republican tent. if you take the really long view, when the tea party movement started, had a choice. it could have been a third party. you think of the radica

ford finally terminated president roosevelt's executive order 9066. terminated, but never to be forgotten. ameriprise asked people a simple question: can you keep your lifestyle in retirement? i don't want to think about the alternative. i don't even know how to answer that. i mean, no one knows how long their money is going to last. i try not to worry, but you worry. what happens when your paychecks stop? because everyone has retirement questions. ameriprise created the exclusive confident retirement approach. to get the real answers you need. start building your confident retirement today. humans -- even when we cross our "t's" and dot our "i's," we still run into problems. that's why liberty mutual insurance offers accident forgiveness with our auto policies. if you qualify, your rates won't go up due to your first accident. because making mistakes is only human, and so are we. we also offer new car replacement, so if you total your new car, we give you the money for a new one. call liberty mutual insurance at... and ask us all about our auto featu

ford playing at the university of michigan, an awful lot of presidents who have had a real interest in the sport of football, and i think if you were to ask the people in this building who is your favorite football playing president, they'd probably say ronald reagan. and ronald reagan, a lot of people don't know, played football at eureka college, was latary play-by-play man in iowa, and his biggest involvement in football stemmed from his role in the movie "knut rockney, all american." and in that movie ronald reagan got his nickname, playing george gip, the gipper. and the game got more from ronald reagan. if you watch that movie about newt rockney, there's a sense at which notre dame they were not only building young bodies on the football field but they were building character. they were basically building young men. it was a real kind of propaganda coup for notre dame. and what i mean by this, if you watch the movie, there's a gambler, a bookie who stumbles in the room and kicks him out. you have ruined baseball and horse racing. we're not going to let you ruin this clean game

remember president gerald ford and george h.w. bush when he was picked up by ronald reagan for the vp spot in 1980? while party platforms are often just words, one word didn't often appear in the good old days and that was conservative. we wanted to be known as the moderate or even progressive party. words like faith and heritage rarely appeared until the 1980s. the party that i'm talking about stood for things. today it's hard to know what we stand for. instead, we are defined by what we are against. i'll tell you right now, if we do not change for 2016 it is going to be a bloodbath. duking it out to see who can impress the far right. one day marco rubio will surge ahead, the next day rand paul and in the end maybe mike huckabee who is, by the way, now leading in the polls. i have no doubt there are some herman cane and donald trump wannabes out there as well. i can't help but wonder where is the diversity of ideas? where is the diversity of candidates? beyond that, are we the republican party or are we a tea party? which is it?

ford, richard nixon, both bushes used it, bill clinton used it. it's something that presidents do. >> the argument is going farther and really setting policy. >> but how is that different antonio, i wonder, than george w. bush, gets legislation and look through all the markups and check off the ones he liked and didn't like. that's what you get when you are a president. so, of course, if i were a republican i would be complain that go the president is doing it as well because they are fighting and saying we don't want to have this. the fact of the matter is every president has done it. it's just like the filibusterer you can criticize it when you are not in power but when you are in power you don't want to touch it. >> republicans are complaining about each other. we have this feuding between john mccain and ted cruz, he tweeted that his followers must read the wall street journal he had tour yell talking about minority making talking ted cruz hurting his party he forced a meaningless debt ceiling folk. mccain has never been a fan of cruz, called

gerald ford said the cia was not by non-american citizens. ronald reagan's head of the central intelligence william keith e. threatened to throw hersh in jail for a book he wrote about the downing of a korean airliner by the soviet union. hersh wrote the book anyway. reagan back off. dick cheney later to become vice president threatened to break into his house, threaten to have been thrown in jail because he was writing stories that the board administration didn't like about cobra duties in america. george h.w. bush in two of his sons were accused by seymour hersh of taking gifts from kuwait after gulf war one. needless to say, the bushes never talk to seymour hersh. george w. bush caught him in abject liar. the obama administration, soon after obama was elected immediately called david remnick and sit on your man off. tell him to his job. hersh did not. he recently said i think there's something wrong with that man. undoubtedly he was not invited to the state of the union speech tonight. he's not ultimately a sly site, king-size, spooky side

how do you think they would get along with gerald ford? not so good? the point is, young people love idealists and people who stand for something. that's why they love ron paul. you people put reagan into power and he did so much. right now, we are carter on steroids. we really are. everything carter screwed up, these people are doing deliberately. and they mean business. again, thereower will not be another turn for the republicans or any other conservative party ever. this is it. this is the turning point. , therethe next election is only one political force that can stop the democrats and take them out. and whether you like it or not, it's the gop. but the real important question is the character of that gop. now if they give you a fat boy ,rom new jersey or a jeb bush you're going to lose, right? you are going to lose. and even if they win, you still lose, because her aggressive is in rolls on. i think you people have the power to make something different happened. i can't pick your candidate, but this is what i would do if i was a man like ted cru

ford was president, he discovered that there was not a bible regularly on air force one and he insisted that it be placed in the state room and it's now an air force tradition that the bible is there to this day. jenna: we often talk about the separation of church and state and because eve charted presidents and the relationship to the bible, how do you see american leadership when it has had the bible as a part of many different leaders? >> yeah. i think that the bible was important to our founders and it's important to our nation. i don't think it's the establishment of a religion to find a source of wisdom that people of many religions -- i am jewish and i look to the bible and my christian friends do as well so i think it's great to have a unifying text and i don't think it's a threat to the separation of church and state. jenna: great article, great read. great to see you. thank you very much. jon: uncertainty over the health care market driving american doctors to abandon their private practices. where they're turning now for employment and what it could mean for patients. the new
