>> right at the top, charlie. when your good friend john mack asked me to move out to asia three and a half years ago, i thought he was nuts and i told him no and then i rethought it and these were three of the best years of my life in terms of learning. i traveled 1.2 million miles during those three years, spent most of my time in china and india. and got a look at the place from the inside rather than researching and writing about it on the outside. and i wouldn't trade that for anything in the world. so now i'm coming back to the u.s., i've going back to yale and i'm going to teach a course on the next china. >> rose: jim, same thing for you in terms of your experience there? >> yes. we moved there four years ago and came back relatively recently. it's been a very rewarding time. my wife and i said it's always been more enjoyable than difficult although high levels of both on both friends. i wish more americans would find ways to spend time in china and india to become comfortle with the world in which they pl

i think what has gone wrong, charlie, is this. that a generation-- this generation, people in their 50s in charge of urine-- have grown up for whom europe was normal, europe was the default condition of life, you didn't have to build europe, you didn't have to think europe, it was just there. you travel easily, everyone speaks the same language or languages, french, german, english. you felt european, the european trading and economic system works. you didn't have to think what do we have to do to make sure we don't fall back into pre-europe? no one thought about that, but we could still fall back into pre-europe. >> rose: we could? >> i think so, yes. >> rose: what would happen? what forces would bring that into a reality? >> well, look at the pattern of protest votes, if you like, in not the poor countries which is where we tend to look for protest votes from the early 20th century model, but it's poor countries that turn fascism and so on. look at countries like austria where he did so well getting 26% of the vote. look at fran

host: charlie crist was in town raising money from democrats. guest: one, the fact when you are an independent, you are not part of the establishment anymore, being able to raise money is one of the most important things. he is not able to go to a national republican senatorial committee or the democratic senatorial committee for help, he will have to go to people across the country. really, when you look at the issues, and he made some flip flops on issues, he is trying to appeal not only to democratic donors but also to independence, maybe some liberal-leaning republicans. the winner only needs 38% each person is taking their own at calculus. rubio is running to the right. crist is trying to get a coalition of liberal republicans, democrats and independents. i have no idea whose formal work. it will be interesting. host: if charlie crist is the next senator from that state, does it benefit republicans or democrats? guest: probably with the democrats because of what has happened in the last year. the primary was so ugly and bloody that it is pr

well, charlie, as you get older... >> rose: (laughs) yes. tell charlie. >> you want to know what you lived through. what was the big political... cultural political development of your time. for our grandparents it would have been the movement of people from the land to the cities. for our father's time, our parent's time it would have been the war. for us, i think this was the great change. this was the reinvention of how men and women were to behave to each other and a great, necessary, and inevitable thing. but an ambiguous thing with its own casualties and its own ways of getting it wrong. >> rose: it's just impossible, do you think, to be autobiographical, as you suggest in to write that kind of thing that will be rivetting and interesting? >> well, how are you going to do it? are you going to say "towards morning i took her again"? there's that sort of style. or there's... you know, as you sometimes find in trashier fiction, "she was sobbing and damn near fainted." >> rose: but you also said you wanted to write about the one you missed

charlie rangel has 13 violations that they have found. i believe that where there is smoke, there's fire. the only thing that makes me angry is that if he is found guilty, he will get a smack on the wrist, get his attention, then come back as a lobbyist. if someone like me had a similar violation, we would go to jail. even if he has done well for the community, it should not take away from the fact that he has done something wrong. no different from anyone else looking to survive, he should be convicted if found guilty. host: who is your representative there? caller: i am not sure. host: will you go to the polls in november? when you find out, would make a difference in who you vote for? caller: i will vote republican because i feel the democrats have too much power. i believe that the people that voted for obama voted for someone new and fresh, hoping that he would bring something new to the game. he is no different from the other guys. letting everyone see what is going on, it does not occur. i believe that i have to vote republican to

charlie rangel is talking about a process now that has been underway for two years. he talked about his legal bills mounting for these two years. he still doesn't know the date of this trial for the fall. it's easy to understand both of their worries in the heat of an election season. if they really truly believe in their innocence, as they do, they want a trial as quickly as possible to air the evidence and get an acquittal if that's what they think they're going to get from the ethics committee. >> ifill: we know charlie rangel has been in congress 40 years now. he comes from a storied congressional district in new york. is he in any trouble this fall in these midterm elections? >> here's the timing factor is even more important for charlie rangel than it is for max even waters. her primary season is already done. he has a september 14 primary, a five-way primary. he doesn't look like he's this that much danger but he's not pulling over 50%. that's a danger sign for any incumbent. in a five-way race he doesn't need 50% to win. it is worth noting that one of the opp
