tariffs and we would move away from income taxes and this could be permanent. neil: we always assume the china will blink because they need us more than we need. theoretically. neil: 18 1/2% of their gdp. used to be 33%. neil: you could then make the argument well maybe not. here s the thing you have to look at the chinese economy. first off we should point out that part of the slowdown i believe is from basically the government induced credit crunch. they re cracking down on sort of flagrant spending. you read about h and a, this company no one ever heard before. they borrowed so much from the chinese government, they are essentially part of the chinese government to go on acquisition spree. it is now being forced to scale back. stuff like that is having an impact on their economy more than anything we re doing. so remember neil: in this second punch, could it drive that wedge further? they could stop doing that and we should point out that
but there was a catch. i was in the white house. things were fairly quiet. and i got a call to go to ron ziegler s office. i go up to ron s office thinking it s something routine and ziegler is clearing his throat a lot and is kind of rattling his coffee cup and that is when we learned about the gap in the tapes. we had been told just about three days earlier that the worst is behind us and suddenly there was an 18 1/2 minute gap in the tapes and all hell broke loose again. the conversation in question took place three days after the watergate burglars were caught and the watergate prosecutor thought it was important. we know the 18 1/2 minute gap was a conversation about watergate because it was with haldeman and the president and haldeman was a meticulous note taker and he took notes. the president s personal secretary, rosemary woods, was recalled to explain how she accidentally erased 18 minutes of a conversation with the president three days after the
mrs. woods used the machine to show how it happened. when i asked her to demonstrate, she pushed the button, kept her foot on and she supposedly reached back about six feet to get the telephone. her foot came off the pedal just with the mere movement. there was just no way it was believable. the white house intention that the talk between the president and haldeman was accidently erased would give more ammunition to the president s critics. to hear something that was so obviously untrue changed a lot of the american public s view of the whole situation. rosemary woods would stand by her story. bob woodward would later write the 18 1/2 minute gap became a symbol for nixon s entire watergate problem. the truth had been deleted. the truth was missing. -and we welcome back gary, who s already won three cars, two motorcycles, a boat, and an r.v. i would not want to pay that insurance bill.
watergate break-in. it didn t happen by accident would have been our first suspicion. i was the lawyer who questioned rosemary woods about the 18 1/2 minute gap. are you discussing testimony tomorrow? or an actual reenactment of bringing in her desk? i don t want to comment on it. i m called the mini skirted bitch. that was my name. pictures of me were always head to toe. my male colleagues are shoulder up. that s just how it was. rosemary woods represents really the majority of women at that time. you could be a nurse. you could be a teacher. you could be a secretary, or you could be a housewife. those were your choices. i was a very early professional and there we were head to head combat basically. ms. woods said it was a mistake. a record button hit accidentally while she took a phone call. she described that she pushed the wrong button. instead of pushing stop, she had pushed record. she also had to keep her foot on the pedal.
faithful. each religious sect follows its own distinctive set of laws. but all the laws, whether you re christian, muslim, jewish or drus, have one thing in common if you re a woman, you have close to zero rights. how old were you when you got married? i was 18 1/2 years old when i got married. and i was 22 when i got my divorce. nadine, a shia muslim, suddenly found herself with no protection and no legal rights when she was facing divorce. so if a woman seeks a divorce, do you get the right to financial compensation? sharing money? no. actually, in sharia court, it s not allowed a woman to ask for divorce. what about a man? could your husband ask for divorce and get it? yes. in this courts, man can ask for divorce and get it, and man can
