bottom of the hierarchy of the nation, and the nation was understood as hierarchical or as local, for many presidents the south became sort of the demon region. and there are reasons for that because they are building coalitions that depend on including people but also always on excluding people. one of roosevelt great geniuses as president is he almost never actively exclude people but tended to base his notion of the nation on a very inclusive sense of what that meant. and so that's what i'm going to talk about right now. this book is actually goes back a little ways, and it's a book on the presidency in which franklin roosevelt is the pivot, the actual center of the book, and in the larger book i examine the complex was in which our national history can be understood to -- also maintaining allegiance, the hierarchies of class and race that allow force abilities. in that history all of these things are short fully contested during the roosevelt administration. the economy lay in ruins, african-americans were making increasing demands for civil rights, women were flexing their politi

not just dod, by the nation. -- but the nation. is dhs ready to face that next catastrophe with potentially diminished dod help? who would like to go first? >> i would have to say that after hurricane katrina, they are always asked if you already. i think the answer is always yes. once you give the answer is yes, you think, what did i just say? the total consequences are enormous. at this point in terms planning and coordination and relationships between dhs and the department of defense, secretary stockton and others in terms of the capabilities and the national guard, i think the forces there to make a response within is judged adequately and timely, the scenarios are much broader than they were a few years ago. states have been heavily impacted by their budget and they are looking more to the federal level. i am concerned about a hollow force and a hollow capability to be able to say yes and mean it in terms of a large complex catastrophe. >> my answer is yes, we are ready today. but i think a lot of the credit for that goes out

this is the first of five remarks -- frameworks. we have the nationalç response framework. this is the first framework following the presidential disaster directive saying that we will have those as a basis of how we move forward with recovery. this is the first one as we move forward from the federal level. it is a national framework. how many people are feds? i should have said, how many people are not feds? put that out of your mind. this is how we all come together and work together for recovery as we go forward. thank you all very much. [applause] ç>> before we take a break in about 50 minutes, we will hear some state and local perspective. what is particularly important to reflect on is that two years when we have an initial meeting in san francisco, we asked you about the framework and talked about the things that needed to go into the framework to move forward. comments were collected from across the nation and shaped the free market we have in front of us. we are looking to get more input based on the framework about the supporting documents, the organization, th

the "national review" magazine, which william f. buckley wrote in 1955. he said the national review would stand athwart history yelling, stop! well, if being conservative means you're standing athwart history yelling stop, stop with the progress, keep things as they are, conserve what exists and fight efforts to change things. if that's what a conservative is, what's a fiscal conservative? the way we use fiscal conservative, it's supposed to be not somebody opposed to progress whole scale, but somebody opposed to profligacy. that's the label that everybody is affixing to paul ryan. saying his fiscal conservatism is why he was chosen for vice president and why we should expect him to be around for a long while. if we really are going to be stuck with paul ryan as the face of republicanism for a long time, and if the term "fiscal conservative" is supposed to mean anything, we should get clear there may be a lot of great stuff to say about this guy, but fiscally conservative is not one of the things you really can say about him. during

from the dollar and trading in the national currencies. hong kong financial secretary john tsang explains how all of this could work out. what is happening now is a great deal of trace element in the national currency so in terms of for example between russia and china they would be doing a lot of settlement in un or in ruble this way you can weigh reduce the currency risk that may incur and that it's already happening i think we should expect to see a lot more of that as these two currencies become at some stage currency for for the rest of the world. reducing the currency risk there's always a good idea how hungry actually it's paying for that update now on yvonne when our top stories in just a couple of. this was the plant that was responsible for causing the world's worst industrial disaster and now it had been abandoned in a condition where it had become a source of pollution or the most recent study that was done shows that this water pollution and spread of. food. more than hundred thousand people in. groups working in effect the ch

rather than in the service of the nation -- when they are in the service of the nation, they fall under the normal chain of command with the secretary of defense and the president and they are entitled 10 status and are in distinguishable. the good news is the training now is uniform, the standards are uniform, so everybody is trained in the same schools with the same standards and has the same enlistment criteria, same selection criteria to become a member, and to remain a member, so that their performance is absolutely identical to the active duty force when it is called into service of the nation. what most people don't realize is that the national guard is called into the service of the governor's each and every day. i did not realize how much that was the case until i was lucky enough to be appointed chief of the national guard bureau by secretary donald rumsfeld under president bush back in 2003. for the five and a half years i have the honor of being the chief of the national guard bureau before i went to be the deputy at u.s. northern command i kept a record of how many states c

time for the "news nation" gut check. a high school valedictorian in oklahoma is not allowed to get her diploma because she said the word hell during her graduation speech. according to the girl's parents, the school is refusing to release the straight a student's official record until she apologizes. in her speech caitlin talked about people asking her what she wants to be to which she replied, quote, how the hell do i know? i've changed my mind so many times. i know that feeling. her dad says she's used the word heck when writing the speech but hell slipped out because it sounds more natural. the school had so far not issued a comment saying only that this is a confidential matter. caitlin recently started her freshman year in college and insists she's not apologizing. >> i don't want to because i'm not sorry, so writing an apology letter's just going to be a lie if they're saying that my cursing was sinning, that would be another sin. don't want to have two sins on my hands. >> you don't want two sins. what is your gut
