Over a half million copies between the first of may and the first of june in california. Host where did the title come from . Guest . Goldwater used the title and the minute i heard about it that was it. Its my pleasure to introduce our guest speaker today and george slattin im happy to tell you your prayer has argued that answered. We have an outstanding outstanding topic for you so we are going to have a great program. Sandy cohn iss usa class of 1968. He almost made it and is a well decorated infantryman. I will have to pause before talking about his own career to say that he his knowledge of history, military history in particular is encyclopedic and thats not something that he just learned at west point in fact i think he corrected a lot of the material being taught at west point. As a believe he was found to have this exceptional knowledge of all these battles studied in military art and soon was conducting instructions sessions as a pleads for all of the upper class men that wou
He was found to have this exceptional knowledge of all of the battles that they were studying in military art. And was soon conducting extra instruction sections for all the upperclassmen who had commended there. As a fall out of that it was that the word got to some of the faculty and he actually i dont know that much more about it that he actually ended up lecturing the faculty at least on one occasion. So sandy graduated in 1968. Right into the vietnam war. He is reminded of his tour in vietnam every time he goes through Airport Security and they detect all of the metal that is left in him. And sandy we wont tell the whole story behind this acquitted himself extremely well in vietnam and i think you will notice in his lapel he wears the silver start which he earned during that tour. After he was medically retired and he is the junior a junior man in the room he likes to say captain u. S. Army retired and he began to pursue to include writing as one of his most prolific talent i thin
Its an siege National Interests of the United States, and the strait of hormuz. Theres a reason we keep that open. Thats right. I couldnt resist. You look at how much of our economy some commerce depends on the International Movement of people and goods and services, an important point to make when you look at america americas interests are relatively benign compared to other great powers and are benign compared to the rest of the north the sense were not empire builders. Were not seeking preferential treatment. Were seeking the right to be our citizens, people, goods, to about treated on a fair and equal basis as others and be protected whether its in terms of International Commerce or being here in the homeland. Thats an important point. Were not in the traditional great powers sense were not looking to conquer other territories, to enforce or impose our ways on others, and i think that there is a shared bipartisan consensus that were looking to live in piece with others who want to
That whatever approach is taken there will be in terms of how to deal with the carbon. Should be adaptable. Other the industrial processes are not power generators. I think you had some ethynol plant data up there as well. Bob made the point exactly that its sources of co 2, its not just coal, certainly not just natural gas. Its steel plants and cement plants. We did spend quite a bit of time this is a panel that will talk about the economic competitiveness on what are some of the lessons that our experiences with ccs then we can really make the pie, the Ccs Technology or the equipment pie bigger and that to become a lot more viable industry or sector per say. But i dont know. What are some of the ways that you think that we should be thinking about it . I think its important to point out im not an expert here. Emphasize that storing co 2 can be done. We know how to do it. Lets start there. Some states are trying to address this. What are the real issues surrounding large, large volume
Political party and a program that is another role for anothte constitution. Distinct asto as the constitution as being the rights protected by courts. Political parties should not speak of these matters. Leave it to the courts. It brought back the constitution is a popular document. And even made it be read on the houseof the representatives to the amazement of the previous speaker. There is a problem here as well.

I think because some parts of it re themselves is so orientated towards the libertarian perspective, they imagine if libertarianism is good, the constitution should be libertarian. I think they undersell the role that government should play in a foreign realm, and may have onen dangerous views limitations of executive power in the foreign realm as well. The third a couple spent is to provide starts to the conservative movement. Starts to the fabric softener of the establishment. So you have thi
