justice brennan, justice marshall. he was someone who was a big leader. to be very fair, as a leader of that branch. >> he also had a very even way of dealing with things. as an individual or associate justice, he had a constitutional vision which ended up being in the majority, and for that reason, at historians will look back and see the important role he played. but he also did not give so wrapped up in the result he favors, that he left out the fact of personal relationships, whatever the assignments, you move on. these other cases, you lost on that one. he did not view his world to be so personally injected. >> he was wonderful. one reason that people keep this praise on him from the other end of the political spectrum is because he personally charmed so many colleagues and so many people he dealt with, surprising to the public often times. they did not really understand what kind of man he was. finally, he will be famous and remembered, because he did preside over term in the dark and of the court. as david said, in an associate capacity. he was cal

this is barclays bank, they bought the brennan seven lehman brothers services lehman brothers trading for 7,457th avenue mine back at the scene, not the scene of the crime but the same trading floor i used to work and i noticed in the corner office i said who it is that man in the corner office? and as he said to me, that is bought diamond, and i said it the ceo of barclays' capital? and he said, yes. how things have changed. things have changed in the sense that you have lessons learned hopefully, you now have the ceo of barclays' capital right there on the trading floor with the best and brightest paying close attention to what is going on. not in the 31st floor completely away from the battlefield. >> unit, and at the beginning that this was the end of capitalism in america but had you mean that? >> not the end of a capitalism has been changed forever because first and foremost you have the fed window, the federal government has now been assisting banks have to the primary credit facility. in other words, you have investment banks that are having access and getting help from the go

and that's why i sent this letter to john brennan to find out what happened. i want the results of the investigation ordered by the president. several of us were briefed yesterday morning, senator feinstein, senator sessions, myself and others, on what is happening. i think -- in fact, i know that you want to find out everything that happened. not only what happened there, but what may have gone right, what may have gone wrong prior to that. we're both former prosecutors. we don't want to compromise a prosecution. what resources is your department using to learn whether steps were missed that could have been taken to avert this tragedy? >> the fbi is certainly intimately involved in the investigation in working with the military investigators, the military prosecutors, who ultimately try the case. all of the resources of the justice department that have been requested have been made available and will be made available in order to determine exactly what happened at ft. hood and also to try to deemergency rod determine how we can prevent future events like this

in his early years, there was no justice with him he disagree more often than justice brennan. justice scalia considered justice brennan his best friend on the court. >> this is a tradition that was nearly pushed by justice o'connor when she is on the court. it stuck. >> justice o'connor insisted that we have lunch everyday when we were sitting. now clarence, you should come to lunch. she was really sweet. i came to lunch. it is one of the best things i did. it is hard to be angry or bitter at someone and break bread and look them in the eye. it is a fun lunch. very little work is done there. it dishes nine people or eight people having -- it is just nine people or eight people having lunch. >> i try not to miss the post argument lunch. you never know what my colleagues will be talking about. let's it is the role that we do not talk abut the cases. >> we will talk about the offer. some of us will talk about the baseball game or the golf tournament. some will talk about the good movie they had seen. it is the kind of things that everybody would talk to their colleagues about at

to do that, do you have to have a complete success with the counterinsurgency, so that there are no brennans left of taliban? >> i will let the president go through some of that. >> two congressmaen put in a bil calling for a surtax in 2011. i understand you have not heard any discussion on it, but when the president meets with centrist tomorrow, will he give them any guidance on that? >> [inaudible] >> will they try again to engage iran, continued a process that started a few months ago, or should we be at a turning point with the announcement from iran yesterday? >> that is a question for the iranians. the iranians should quite clearly understand their responsibilities and obligations under international treaty that they signed, okay? the iranians have been rebuked for their actions with a single -- by a single international voice through a strong vote in the iaea board of governors. if they make the decision to fulfill their responsibilities and obligations, then the international community would welcome back. if they decide not to fulfil those responsibilities and obligations, then all i

guest: i think the problem is larger than that are there was a speech given by john brennan, who is a home security adviser and said that jihad does not mean holy war but it means peace and love. that was a carryover from the michael chertoff memorandum from 2007 that said they would not use the word jihad. i think that is a tremendous mistake. if we cannot define the enemy as to who he is, we can never expect to defeat them. the reality is that the apologists for jihad want to define it in terms of spiritual good struggle. it can mean that but for the holy warriors, and they know who they are, jihad means a holy war or struggle to impose islam. host: next up is our line for independence from springfield, virginia. caller: i want to ask about the right wing politicians like dick arfmemey and bill like -- and te like -- are they considered homegrown terrorism? i'm talking about undermining the president of the united states. they undermine him with their rhetoric they accuse him of being a socialist and accuse him of not being born in the united states. they are undermining the preside
