This is not some irrelevant debate, some interesting theoretical debate, everything that the people in this country see, read and hear is effected by the outcome of this debate. The question of whether in the future, what people in America, what people in this greatest democracy in the world, the question of what they see, read and hear and whether it's directed or comes from fewer and fewer voices is a very important question for us to answer." 01.04.23 Senator Dorgan turns over podium to Senator Trent Lott who then makes statements including "This is not a partisan thing, or a bi-partisan thing, this is not a slap at one commissioner or the commission as a whole, they just made a mistake here, and they are human beings too and I was very concerned at the beginning of how they handled this." 01.09.17 glitch on tape 01.09.30 POV from back of room at press conference next to video camera, cameraman filming.

Robert Bork Interview
Robert Bork Interview (on nomination of Judge Ruth Ginsburg to Supreme Court) 10.10.10 Judge Robert Bork answers questions about Judge Ruth Ginsburg, says "she is a good judge, I disagree with her on a few fundamental points....She is very well prepared for every case...." 10.10.55 "The Constitution for example, Ruth Ginsburg believes that a Judge can put new principals into the Constitution, that weren't originally there, in the name of keeping it up to date. I think that's fundamentally wrong, and that's why she will find the constitutional right to abortion in the Constitution, she may find a right to homosexual conduct in the Constitution, she probably will find affirmative action to be constitutional ...." 10.12.10 Judge Bork is asked "if" he was a Senator, what would you ask her? He responds by saying that he would ask her what "legal materials" she would look at, what process she would go through rather than the results...." 10.17.00 Speaks about other judicial nominees, Clarence Thomas, etc. 10.18.00 Answers question "if" he were god, how would you change the process? He responds, "You can't devise a process that can't be abused, but if I were able to control the process, I would say let's discuss judicial philisophy, how you approach issues and stop demanding about how you're going to vote. Because, when you get people down to a place where they're specifiying how they're going to vote and they keep their promises once they're on the court, then a few Senators come to control the meaning of the Constitution and not an independant judiciary." 10.18.54 Talks about "closed door" hearings, says the press wouldn't put up with it .... 10.19.59 B-roll of Robert Bork speaking with woman journalist, various shots

Flash Points USA III - God & Country - Gary Bauer
Flash Points USA III - God & Country - Gary Bauer (raw material of interview with Gary Bauer - President of American Values) 03.17.22 Gary Bauer states his views on abortion, "I have a long record of being pro-life, I believe that all children in America ought to be welcomed into the world and protected by the law. I think Roe v. Wade was a terrible decision, even if one disagrees with me on the life issue, because what Roe said is the American people have no right to decide this question. With one stroke of the pen five justices took away from every American the right to work through their state legislatures to come to some sort of consensus on whether to allow abortion and under what circumstances. So, I think the case was terrible and I think abortion on demand has been a disaster particularly for women and children." 03.18.1 Gary Bauer says "I believe that all abortion is wrong and I have supported legislative proposals that would guarantee a "right to life" to the un-born child. I have never, nor has the pro-life movement ever supported criminal penalties for women who get abortion, and in fact there weren't criminal penalties for women before Roe v. Wade. To the extent that criminal law comes into play if we were ever able to overturn Roe v. Wade, that criminal law would come down on the head of the Abortionist that continued to perform abortions, not on the women that were being exploited." 03.19.00 Mr. Gary Bauer responds "What history teaches us is that when a law is made you severely limit the prohibited behavior, but you don't end the prohibited behavior. We have laws against murder, and murders still occur. But, I think passing a law would have a tremendous educational effect on the American people, and I suspect that of the one plus million abortions we have every year 95% of them would end because most American's want to obey the law." 03.19.50 Mr. Gary Bauer gives his views about prayer in schools, "I do support school prayer, I think that if you go back and look at the prayers that were in place in 1963 they were nondenominational, they were broadly written and for the most part most Americans of various faiths had very little problems with them." 03.22.18 Gary Bauer speaks about god in american government, "I believe that god and morality have a tremendous place in the entire American experiment, in fact it's what makes us different from virtually any other nation across the entire globe. In the second paragraph in the Declaration of Independence makes this very clear, the founders worked very hard to craft a paragraph in which they said they believed our liberty came from god, that he was the author of it and that without him we couldn't have it. That's an extraordinary thing to say, it's a powerful thing to say and it tells us a lot about what the founders thought about the notion of religion." 03.23.02 Gary Bauer answers question, what's the relationship between god and patriotism? Bauer responds "I think in America god, patriotism, apple pie for many Americans those things are all wrapped up together." Continues remarks. 03.24.17 Gary Bauer responds on the "right to die" issue, "The sanctity of life at both its beginning and at its end and at the moments of terrible illness and physical suffering all have a moral aspect to them, and societies have to be extremely careful in doing anything that cheapens the sanctity of life and the value of life that each individual enjoys. The most important part of this debate is how does one determine whether somebody wanted to end their life at a particular moment and what role does society play in implementing that wish." 03.25.27 Mr. Gary Bauer speaks about school vouchers, "I think there is a moral issue about the fact that many minority and low income students have been trapped in schools that don't work. .....For the parent's of those children, there are no options, they can't move to a better neighborhood to access a better school either because they can't afford the housing or because of other issues. In that sense I do think that the move for vouchers results from a moral impulse." 03.26.31 Gary Bauer speaking about the growth of catholic schools, faith based schools, and protestant schools within these troubled communities. 03.27.37 Mr. Gary Bauer explaining about the evangelical faith, "The very phrase evangelical is open to a great deal of debate. But, by and large of course Christians believe that Christ is the son of god, that he was crucified, rose from the dead, by doing that saved us from our sins, that he'll come back again and that all men will be judged at some day in the future. Evangelicals go further and believe that literally every word of the bible is divinely ordained, it was almost dictated by god, and that this "good news" needs to be told around the world. And that's where the word to evangelize comes from."
Flash Points USA - America at War - James Thorber
Flash Points USA - America at War - James Thorber (raw material of interview with James Thorber, answers questions related to various Presidents) 03.08.48 James Thorber mentions Presidents who have rushed into battle, joking about George W. Bush saying "Well, there's one quite recent," (laughing) Thorber mentions President Jimmy Carter "In trying to rescue the hostages in our embassy in Iran, he had a rescue mission that many people think did not have enough force to succeed, and it broke down in the desert and it was not a war, but it certainly led to the perception that he wasn't a great President and it helped defeat him I think in the next election." 03.09.40 "I think that we have also with George W. Bush, an individual that rushed into war with Iraq, without having complete information about what was going on and many people criticize him for not looking at other alternatives to this war. Another successful aspect of modern Presidents is to use many nations to back a particular activity. George Bush Sr. had 45 nations in the UN behind his action to drive Saddam out of Kuwait, he had 17 nations that were actually on the ground with troops and material, he had money from many nations, 80 billion dollars was estimated from foreign nations. This President (George W. Bush), I have to say this, had 3 nations the United Kingdom, England and Great Britain and that's it." (jokingly says you can edit that out) Continues to add that Bush did not use the UN and has been criticized for that. 03.11.01 Thorber continues "The United States had the allies during WWII, we had a coalition during WWI, we had the support of the UN in driving the North Koreans out of South Korea, a resolution of the UN, and of course General Macarthur pushed it a little two far north and then the Chinese came in and he was fired, but the President fired him and we stopped at the 38th parallel with South Korea." 03.11.59 James Thorber speaking about President Harry Truman "Truman's legacy has improved over the years, it's aging like good wine. It was controversial with some and today, when he dropped the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to effectively stop the war in Japan and it's not controversial with many soldiers that would have been slaughtered in the invasion. Truman was a machine politician from St. Louis, Missouri, everyone thought he was an errand guy who became Vice President because he played poker with the right people, but he stood up to the job. And that's an aspect of the Presidency that's very interesting in America is that the institution of the Presidency has support mechanisms that help people, even a Truman, he turns out to be quite a war President in dropping the bomb, but also driving the North Koreans out of South Korea and doing it without permission from Congress. And you do know that we haven't had a "declaration of war" since WWII and the War Powers Act of 1973 is basically ignored, because both sides Congress and the President feel that it's unconstitutional, but he was the first person to really pursue a war after WWII that without getting permission basically from the hill." 03.14.18 James Thorber says "I think Presidents are best when leading the nation with respect to national security when there is a clear external threat. Now, there was a clear external threat of course with Hitler in WWII, there was a clear external threat with the Soviet Union for many years until Vietnam, there was not consensus in society. It's very important to have consensus in society about the threat and consensus about the mission, we had that in WWII, we had that in the Cold War." Continues to say that there was not a clear consensus with Lincoln, says he showed "real leadership", also says we didn't have a consensus with the current Iraq War. Thorber continues to state that this war will be a "failure" if the President or future President doesn t engage the International community to keep the various factions and tribes from creating a "civil war". 03.18.12 James Thorber says that the threat in World War One was the expansionistic regime of Germany, trade sanctions, economic reasons, Wilson was able to rally America, and successfully influenced the press. Mentions that America looks as Woodrow Wilson as a failure because of the League of Nations." 03.20.00 Speaking about JFK Thorber says "John F. Kennedy has a great reputation in the history of Presidencies, part of it has to do with the Cuban Missile Crisis which was a very risky thing that he did, it stemmed from a miscalculation of using Cuban immigrates and others to invade the Bay of Pigs in Cuba." Continues to state that "Khrushchev thought he (Kennedy) was too young, a kid and he could push him around, and he stood up to him, and that's the myth if not the reality of John F. Kennedy." Continues to explain that Kennedy relied on data and information from the Eisenhower administration, which led us into Vietnam and says "the seeds of failure started with John F. Kennedy, but we don't look at Kennedy as the person who failed there. We think of Johnson as the failure and Nixon not keeping his promise to get out and invading Cambodia and then eventually forced out, and the War Powers Act limited his power." 03.21.40 James Thorber speaks about President Johnson's legacy, saying "LBJ does have a great legacy on the war on poverty, on the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, some of the most important legislation for individuals of color, for women, for the poor in America come from the Johnson Administration and he ruined that because of the situation in Vietnam."

Flash Points USA - America at War - James Thorber (raw material of interview with James Thorber, answers questions related to various Presidents) 03.22.27 James Thorber says that the "one criteria that helps Presidents with respect to war is that they're willing to listen to all the arguments and they're willing to weigh them, and when they make up their mind they do it very fast, and they have a center core of authority around a clear mission." He continues to speak about their educational background, speaks about Roosevelt s African campaign to "test" troops before they invaded Normandy (D-Day). 03.24.01 Thorber talks about Lincoln, that his generals were timid, he didn't have the support of the American people nor Congress. 03.25.03 James Thorber speaks about Congress' role in determining when President's should use force, go to war, and the power of the purse (money). 03.26.41 Mr. Thorber talks about how "war coverage" has changed over the years, print media, censorship, newsreels, Vietnam gave us real time coverage of war, embedded reporters in Iraq. Thorber says "Media coverage has forced Presidents to be more careful and more transparent in how they do things, because they know it's going to be out in the press eventually."

Flash Points USA - America at War - Robert Dallek
Flash Points USA - America at War - Robert Dallek (raw interview with Robert Dallek speaking about various Presidents) 06.15.05 Speaks about Woodrow Wilson, that he was looked at as a pacifist, Wilson calls for neutrality at the start of WWI, German submarine warfare (u-boat). (cell phone rings and disrupts taping) Dallek continues Wilson re-elected, 1917 Germany unleashes submarine warfare, Wilson refuses to back down, April 1917 Wilson declares war on Germany. Talks about Wilson's peace program, Versailles treaty, Wilson suffers stroke, in the 1920s he's seen as a failed President. In the 1940's the repudiation of Wilson, it is thought that there might not have been a Second World War if we would have followed Wilson s lead. "The country loves great visions, they love the idea of America leading the world onto some higher grand idealistic ground and Wilson is the greatest visionary of all our Presidents." 06.22.00 Dallek says "The attempt that's being made to bring democracy to Iraq, and at a larger level to spread democracy across the middle east, there are many skeptics like myself who say this is a losery, how are you going to do this, this is so Wilsonian, so universalistic, so unlikely to be realized, as Wilson vision was unrealized, remains unrealized." 06.23.01 Robert Dallek talks about Kennedy's decisions in Vietnam, LBJ's decision to increase ground forces, Dallek says in his opinion Kennedy wouldn't have escalated the numbers of troops, July 1965 sends 100 thousand combat troops, by 1968 there are over 500,000 combat troops in Vietnam, says that "this was is a failure", talks about the Tet Offensive. Dallek continues "Johnson kept saying there's light at the end of the tunnel, some wit said sometimes the light at the tunnel is from an onrushing train, which it was in the case of Vietnam." 06.28.18 Dallek talks about John F. Kennedy, says "The Bay of Pigs was a disaster which he freely acknowledged, but he had the victory in the Cuban Missile Crisis, and he had the Test Ban Treaty". He continues to talk about Johnson s struggle to master the conflict in Vietnam, Dallek says "Johnson himself says, how could it be these little guys in black pajamas running around in these jungles, how can they defeat the greatest power in the history of the world."
Flash Points USA - America at War - Robert Dallek
Flash Points USA - America at War - Robert Dallek (raw interview with Robert Dallek speaking about various Presidents) 07.00.54 Robert Dallek says "In America there is always a domestic political component to going to war", that Franklin Roosevelt understood that "before you can fight a war you need a stable domestic consensus that backs that conflict" continues to say that America didn't enter the war until after Pearl Harbor and by that time he had the full support behind him. Johnson fails on that fact, and he ties in the War in Iraq as well as not having domestic backing, and also Harry Truman in the Korean War. He then mentions Abraham Lincoln, "if there had been more defeats he might well have been defeated in 1864 and you would have a candidate who would have worked out some sort of peace arrangement with the South and allowed them to be an independent state." 07.04.27 Dallek says "Theodore Roosevelt once said that you can't be a great President unless you have a war, but he was thinking back to Lincoln who of course leads the country through the successful Civil War. Woodrow Wilson leads the country through a successful war, but then loses the peace, he does get high marks for having won the war but he is sharply criticized for losing the peace. Roosevelt secures his reputation as one of the three great Presidents because he leads the country in success in WWII, and of course leading the country through the Great Depression." Dallek continues to say that Harry Truman's success was in the Cold War, that eclipses the defeat in Korea. Says "Lyndon Johnson, for all his success on the domestic side, the great society, the war on poverty, civil rights, the Medicare legislation, the federal aid to education, for all these things his reputation is blighted by the defeat in Vietnam. As it's been said, the only war the United States ever lost." 07.05.50 Dallek talks about George W. Bush and his reputation might be blighted by the Iraq War. Mentions George Bush, Sr., and says that he does have a successful war in removing Saddam Hussein and Iraq from Kuwait, but it isn't enough of a success to overcome his problems with the economy. Dallek states the current War in Iraq is a "quagmire like Vietnam." 07.07.04 "Presidents though they will deny it, always think about their historical reputation and losing a war is not a way to secure your reputation as a great President and so once they enter into a conflict like that, their ego is involved, their standing in history is up for grabs and they're not going to back away from that conflict, they're not going to admit errors, they're not going to admit false assumptions, that was true of Johnson, that's true of George W. Bush, Harry Truman wanted to get out, but didn't know how and was trapped there and wouldn't acknowledge that there was a real mistake in crossing the parallel, and these President's are strong willed obviously, and they're stubborn and have big ego's and can be quite grandiose and this comes into play when you're dealing with an issue of this sort." 07.08.20 Dallek says "Napoleon once said "Give me Generals who know something about strategy and tactics, but best of all give me Generals who are lucky". Continues to say "It's not strictly luck, it's being smart about the war you fight, and not getting into a scrap which you're not likely to win. The First George Bush was sensible in not crossing into Iraq, he saw the dangers, he describes them in his memoirs as to what the real dangers were of crossing the line, going into Iraq and taking on the burden, the responsibility of fighting in Iraq. Someone once said to me "the only thing you control in war is the first shot, and then in a sense you're in the lap of the gods."
Flash Points USA - America at War - Robert Dallek
Flash Points USA - America at War - Robert Dallek (raw interview with Robert Dallek speaking about various Presidents) 07.09.57 Robert Dallek says "Things have changed dramatically in the sense that the Civil War was an all out war, World Wars One and Two were all out conflicts, but since then we've fought a series of limited wars, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the second Gulf War. We have nuclear weapons, we could pull all our troops out of Iraq and decimate the whole place by dropping a couple atomic bombs on them....Lyndon Johnson was counseled to us a tactical nuclear weapon, and he refused because he thought this would touch off World War Three and wisely refused. We have all this power, but it's an illusion, you can't really use it, and however much you can defeat an army in a face to face conflict as we did with the Iraqi Army in Iraq, what do you do when you face an insurgency? What are you going to do when you have to struggle with a kind of urban conflict, are you going to put a million man army into Iraq, to police every city, control every nook and cranny of the place? We're not going to do that, and the public isn't ready to support it. Are we going to expend how many more billions of dollars to occupy and take the place over, we don't want to be seen as a colonial occupying power. 07.11.22 Dallek continues "As it is our reputation in the Middle East has been so badly blighted by being there with 135,000 troops, so we need an exit strategy. And the exit strategy at the moment is well, get the UN involved, get NATO involved, internationalize this, get the Arab states to put troops in, but they're not coming forward so quickly to do it and so Mr. Bush has gotten us into a terrible predicament, which he doesn't have the answers to, he hopes he may have some answers to them, but if he doesn't come up with something in the next five or six months, it's probably going to mean the loss of the Presidency for him." 07.12.04 Robert Dallek says that wars have gotten "more muddled, more difficult to control, and you can't fight an all out war anymore, because you can't use nuclear weapons, and who are you going to fight? Now, we're locked in this struggle against terrorism, and how do you fight this war against terrorism? This is a diffuse movement, there are some maybe in France, maybe in Italy, maybe in the United States, and Africa, the Middle East....how do you do this? It's a tremendous dilemma which is probably going to haunt us for the next maybe thirty, forty, and even fifty years."
Flash Points USA - America at War - Colleen Shogun
Flash Points USA - America at War - Colleen Shogun (speaking about various Presidents) 04.20.24 Colleen Shogun says President Johnson's "legacy is complicated by Vietnam, it's so complicated he can't bare to run again. Once again, we elect someone to the Presidency who promises to end our involvement in Vietnam, just like Eisenhower promised to end out involvement in Korea. Which is interesting to me because it seems if John Kerry was attentive to History he would promise to end the involvement in Iraq, because it's been successful in at least two other elections in recent history, it seems to be a preferable position to the American people when we are involved in an unpopular war." 04.21.24 Colleen Shogun states that President Truman was willing to act independently, he defies the Taft-Hartley Act, seizes the steel mills, institutes committees on civil rights, he's willing to step out of Congress' shadow and act independently. She continues to say that "the Presidency is an institution that rewards independence." ......"There may be an active independence that instigates warfare, that instigates a foreign conflict, the question is can those continued acts of independence actually control what is going on..." She says that "we don't have a stable structure for ending a war and we see this as problematic, both in the Korean War, the Vietnam War and perhaps even now in the Iraq War. Who gets to end an unpopular war?" 04.25.18 Speaking about President John F. Kennedy, she states that his legacy doesn't reflect the Vietnam War, that "if you asked most Americans when the Vietnam War started, they would certainly think of LBJ and not John Kennedy." She talks about President's Lyndon Johnson s withdrawal from the Democratic Nomination. 04.27.56 Colleen Shogun speaks about FDR, that he has a double pronged legacy, because he creates the welfare state in America, creates the New Deal, also encapsulated in the war (WWII). She continues to say "there is a trace of Lincoln in FDR" because of his passive side, the lend lease program, his aid to Britain etc.. before Pearl Harbor. 04.29.38 "We know that President's benefit from a "rallying around the flag" effect, but it's not clear that that "rallying around the flag" effect lasts .....

Flash Points USA - America at War - Colleen Shogun (speaking about various Presidents) 05.00.54 Colleen Shogun speaks about President George Bush Sr., and his success of pulling together an international coalition, that he rallies an international coalition for the prosecution of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Then compares the current President George W. Bush, that he "tries" to get international support from the UN, etc, but is unable to achieve that support. Discusses the differences between both Bush administrations. 05.05.00 Historians poll seems to indicate that our greatest Presidents have presided over some sort of war-time event, either Abraham Lincoln or FDR, Teddy Roosevelt in minor skirmishes although not any great wars. In contemporary times, I think that might be less the case, especially after September 11th (911), the American people are so rattled when it comes to our international involvement and to what could actually happen as a result of foreign policy and unrest in the country. Perhaps what has gone on in the past in the 20th Century that it seems wars have been important legacies for President's, it could in fact in the future be the converse, that President's that keep us out of wars, that keep us out of conflicts actually will be rewarded more than President's who drag us into wars. Because wars are all too real, and we also know what goes on in wars because we have imbedded reporters, we have television cameras, we have photographs, we're able to see the tangible results of wars. Even more presented, even more than we were able to see in the Vietnam conflict. So wars are more real to the American people, we have less patience for long protracted wars." 05.07.00 Colleen Shogun says we should take a look back to ancient history, "look at the Greek Empire they were certainly the most powerful Empire and the Athenians were the most powerful people, but they lost it all..." She says we have to be very wary not to spread ourselves too thin around the world, where then we enter into a situation where we are no longer the world super power because our resources are simply spread out throughout the world and we can't concentrate on our major conflicts...... 05.09.08 Shogun speaks about President Truman's legacy regarding the atomic bomb, that it was something that "had to be done".
