harold and graham's father-in-law, dr. nelson bell. afterwards, peel sent nixon a handwritten account of the meeting describing their long discussion that took place among the group of distinguished religious leaders. according to peel, the group was unanimously behind nixon, and peel was part of a select committee chosen to meet with the vice president to convey the group's thoughts. he suggested september 8th as a possible meeting date concluding by telling nixon he had been touched by the spiritual concern expressed for him by those in attendance. he also noted that billy graham was one of nixon's biggest supporters. peel hoped something constructive and wise could come out of this meeting. he later claimed he had nothing to do with the organization that sponsored a washington meeting, but since that meeting was plan ned at that meeting, that could hardly be true. one installment in a regular correspondence between nixon and graham in the fall. earlier in the summer graham had reported that both johnson and rayburn had said if nixon

early in the summer graham reported to nixon both johnson and sam raeburn told graham at kennedy were the nominee of the religion issue would be the paramount issue and at that point graham believe that kennedy would garner 100% of the catholic vote. at all cost nixon had to refrain from nominating a catholic as his vice president and instead named peale protestants that the protestants could rally behind. earlier grams then-- telling the story of how graham led the southern resolution that the international dimension that was the the fact the repudiation of kennedy as a candidate and endorsement of nixon. in another long letter addressed to him graham outlined observations emerged from the meeting. graham have been following the developments with keen interest. he believed god was giving nixon super natural wisdom to handle difficult situations. according to graham a highly finance organized of this is being opened in washington to supply information to religious leaders throughout the nation. this refers to the national association of evangelicals then often as citizens for religiou

graham urged quick nixon once again to weave this into his addresses and perhaps most important, graham wrote, i have just written a letter to my daily list of 2 million american families. urging them to organize this sunday school, the sunday school classes in churches to get out the vote here contrary to most people's thinking my primary blog lies in the middle west, california, pennsylvania, and new york state that i think in these areas plus the south we can beat of the greatest help the would have supported on our list of every single post office in the united states but were getting other religious groups to do the same, many millions were the personally circulator it is though the majority of these lives are democratic or independent voters. it is also felt this would bring about a favorable swing among these voters to you. he concluded by announcing that teele was going to endorse nixon in our october. extended an invitation to nixon to visit the grand home in north carolina which now have become regular requirement of most presidential nominees. it would highlight the religious

also appearing on "face the nation" was lindsey graham of south carolina. graham says he thinks the government option will destroy private health care and that the house bill passed late last night is d.o.a. >> the house bill is dead on arrival in the senate, just look at how it passed. it passed 220-215. it passed by two votes. you had 39 democrats vote against the bill. they come from red states, moderate democrats from swing districts. they bailed out on this bill. it was a bill by and for liberals and people like joe lieberman are not going to get near the house bill that cost medicare $500 billion, over a trillion dollars in new spending. it has the public option. the house bill is a nonstarter in the senate. >> is there anything that is not shared on the internet? we're going to tell you about personal online events ranging from the beginning of life to the search for higher meaning. >> everybody, online right now, i got a question for you. >> we've got questions, too. about churches in cyberspace. hear what a pastor says about communing with the comp

[applause] >> senator graham i have a question and observation. it seems in my humble opinion there is a change in the sense of community that south florida is always thought of as being a chance yet committed the and when you add that to the melting pot of cultures of the folks that are hear that may have contributed to a lack of civic involvement and with that in mind is that a contributory factor and what steps can we take as individual citizens to remedy the situation? >> yes. i think the most immediate place to start is in our schools, colleges and universities to reverse the decline in net civic understanding of the next generation. how to do it with the older generation in particular with the generation which moves at or near retirement? there was a wonderful editor of the now defunct miami news which used to be the afternoon paper here named bill bags if you have been to the southern tip of key biscayne and the state park is called the bill begs park because if you want to learn about florida the place to learn it is in on the obituary pag

graham, could you lay out for us his options? >> well, the wonder of this crisis is that we survived, so i would say if you look back at it and think back, it could have easily have turned out differently, and the brilliance of the decision-making process that president kennedy arranged that allowed a vetting of the whole issue, and it is rare, extremely rare. in fact, i was trying to think about -- i know we don't want to go there now, but analogies with the seminar that president obama is now holding more or less in public about afghanistan. here when the missile crisis came, kennedy, as ted says, pulled together a very small group in secret and for a week deliberates all the options, and everything is on the table. every issue is examined. every assumption is picked up and hooked over and thought over again. people feel comfortable to change their mientdzs quite dramatically, and for historian historians, as you know vividly because of your work, the fact that these deliberations were secretly taped, so most of the people don

, senator graham and after senator graham's questions we will take a very short break. >> thank you, mr. attorney general. i, quite frankly, enjoyed working with you on this typical topic and we've reached different conclusions, but this is an important discussion for the american people to understand, you know, how this affects us now and in the future. the first thing i would like to make the public understand is that you're not suggesting that by someone in a million, one of these defendants were acquitted or given a short sentence that they would be released anywhere, are you? >> we would hold them as an enemy combatant? >> as i indicated to you, senator -- as i should have indicated to senator cole when they initially asked of me, i think there are congressional restrictions in how these people are treated in such a circumstance, but the administration's position would be, ooh and this is not going to happen. i'm here to tell you that i'm sure he will get convicted in federal court, but not because we're threatening the judge or the jury, but because of the nature of the case. t

[laughter] >> senator graham thank you for coming out today. i know you are encouraging civic responsibility and involvement of government at all levels but part of the problem especially in south florida we look at officials and it seems to be case after case of corruption and there are reports each day of commissioners under investigation, indictments and one months ago we have officials in broward county at the local and national level and people look at government and see that it attracts people who see it about personal gain rather than public service. how do you change a system like that where people would be encouraged to get involved? >> the situation we have seen in south florida is not unique. i was in san diego that was a place i had grown up thinking i was almost a model community and they have in the recent years fallen into the same corruption pit that we're facing in this community. part of that is a function of what we were talking about earlier is the mobility and transitory nature of the population population, people frequentl

last time we were together we talked about billy graham. of course, he's a great man, reached out to us in our time of loss. a lot of dear friends that reached out to us. but, you know, my family, my wife has become an amazing hero of mine, watching her take this journey. my son, all of my kids, but my son will franklin, he's the bravest, most courageous guy on the planet as far as i'm concerned. >> larry: what do you tell people who think you're a hero? you help individuals in communities. you care for orphans around the world. are you humbled by that a little? >> absolutely. very humbled. it's crazy. the things that i guess have made me a hero, you know, in some people's eyes, music, it's a gift. something that god kind of gave me. and i just did what came most natural. doing something like show hope, opening a special needs orphanage in china. helping families adopt kids. we are the ones who have been blessed by that. >> larry: your new album "beauty will rise" is all about struggles, fears, prayers as they relate to your faith, missing

republican senator lindsey graham said the house bill would be dead on arrival in the senate. harry reid refused to give a timetable passing a bill, signaling he may have trouble getting enough votes. >>> philadelphia's mass transit strike is over. the transit system and its largest union agreed to a new contract overnight, ending the six-day strike. about 5,000 workers walked off the job last tuesday over a dispute about pension benefits. the strike affected philly's subways, buss and trolleys. >>> 11 women were found dead at a house in cleveland. people marched with candles to the house where the women were found. anthony sowell lives there. he is accused of murder and rape. one of seven bodies identified so far is talisha fordson. her mom was there last night. >> as we stand here in front of this home where they found your daughter, what is that like for you? >> it's hard, because i want to burn it down. i really would like to. it's very hard. that's why i won't look at it. >> reporter: why won't you look at it? >> because i know my baby was in there and she got killed in t

, and we'd never want to muzzle senator graham. i hope it's not contagious. >> i wish more people felt that way. >> senator graham. >> this is an important point here that, you know, the idea of preventive detention, i don't think senator feingold is high on that idea. but i am not because i like keeping people in jail for the hell of it. i just think when you're at war and the people you have in your capture, the commander in chief has determined tli a rational process is part of the enemy force, that america is not a better place for letting them go. do you agree with that general concept? >> yeah. i agree with that general concept. it's something the president talked about in archive speech about the possibility of detaining somebody again pursuant to the laws of war and dialling in due process. >> do you believe that congress needs to weigh in here, or do . . the executive branch to make that decision without any congressional involvement? >> i personal think that we should involve congress in that process. we should interact w

senator graham called me about two months ago and he said carol, i'm not going to be able to be with your administration on a lot of things, but i'm going to be there on this, and it was a surprising phone call and then he said, and when i say this, i mean cap and trade, and so i think we're beginning to see the outline of what a bipartisan bill might look like in the house. we obviously have other committee chairs with important jurisdiction, senator baucus -- >> we'll leave this event at this point to go live to the national press club now. a new report claims that reducing climate change and creating so-called green jobs are key factors for economic growth. and reducing worldwide poverty and hunger, the release of studies detailing these findings at this news conference at the press club. this is live coverage on c-span2. >> it's an annual report that looks at some of the systemic issues that address -- that face foreign hungry people, an we use it internally within the organization as a tool to help develop our policy agenda, and we use it also to educate members and our grassroo

if lindsey graham and john mccain are the future of the republican party i think most americans are going to say to the republicans can keep the party. what i see here in front outpouring of american feelings, and by the with a loss of ratings and president obama has been a historic plummet, now just a few months into office here we are looking at the ratings going down from january of 78, nearly 80% to 50% and we are not even through the first year in office a there is tremendous disappointment even from the left with president obama but certainly middle america. i warned when i wrote the obama nation the president would rule from the far left. he would not be a pragmatist like president clinton was. by the way i think hillary clinton would have been more of a pragmatist had she won. but the democratic party is largely today dominated by the far left. and when america understands the far left america is not going to agree with the far left. redistribution of wealth when i point that out it was what president obama, a candidate obama really believed people felt that hard to accept. today

if that's where we are, then our relationship to our own culture gets to be too much like what graham green said with his relationship with the catholic church, will end up with -- he talks about being a member of a foreign legion who fights around for a city of which he's no longer a citizen. to be full citizens of our civilization, we need to read deeply into its great literature. the kind of education that i think you need and i wish your professors would help you with it more but i'm afraid they're not going to is not a purely factual or merely intellectual education. it is both those things. it's true if you read the classics, you're going to come across fascinating information, ideas that you might not hear in school. this can be a dramatic effect. the intellectual outlook of the typical english professor, for example, and i correspond with some of these folks and, you know, read their writings. i would characterize their intellectual outlook as one of extreme poverty. they're interested in essentially one kind of intellectual idea. they're interested in injustice. but they're n

yet the billy graham's and pat robertson's have got us all to raise our game because the most important thing is a warship and to understand our creator and love our neighbors as ourselves. in business, there are some scoundrels out there. golden parachutes, giant bonuses, run off to florida and who cares about employees? think about bill gates. he has changed the world. even a little device like the ipod has brought so much joy. the pharmaceuticals that have been invented that help people with mental ella's and serious heart problems and on and on and on. its leadership. leadership gets people to raise their game. the good lord has given us all a set of talents. our role is to figure them out and use them to become part of a team to raise our game and improve the world. america has challenges. health care, wars, so many things we have to deal with. we will deal with them if we remember what our mothers and fathers taught us about the way we should live our lives. if we all, in our own way, become leaders with the groups we associate with, we can change the world. it's about leadership.

senator graham said carol, i'm not going to be with your administration on a lot of things, but i'm going to be there on this. it was a surprising phone call. and then he said when i say this, i mean cap and trade. so i think we are going to see the outlines of what a bipartisan bill might look like in the house. we obviously have our committee chairs with important jurisdictions, senator baucus, the ag committee, and senator rockefeller. all of them have an important role to play. we remain optimistic. the reason we are optimistic that we can pass this legislation is this is a jobs bill. this is about creating jobs, and that is what america wants today. this is about giving you in the country the kind of certainty and predictability you need. you need to know what is expected of you. you need to know if you make those investments in alternatives that there is going to be a demand, a market. finally, there is this deep belief that this is the moral and ethical thing to do. i had the privilege of running the e.p.a. for eight years and worked with the world's leading environmental engineers

in building on all of that leadership is the recent op-ed by senator john kerry and senator lindsey graham. he called me -- under gramm called me and said, "i will not be with your administration on a lot of things, but i will be on this." and he said, "what i say this, i mean cap-and-trade. we are beginning to see the outlines of what a bipartisan bill will look like. . the reason we are optimistic that we can pass this legislation is this is a jobs bill. this is about creating jobs, and that is what america wants today. this is about giving you in the country the kind of certainty and predictability you need. you need to know what is expected of you. you need to know if you make those investments in alternatives that there is going to be a demand, a market. finally, there is this deep belief that this is the moral and ethical thing to do. i had the privilege of running the e.p.a. for eight years and worked with the world's leading environmental engineers. they are great and have solved so many problems for our country. but the truth of the matter is there isn't one among them who can rev
