from health care around the world. a preview of a new gps special that prematures tonight at 8:00 p.m. but, first, here s my take. when i was in college in the early 1980s as part of a student organization, i invited ronald reagan s defense secretary casper weinberger to give a speech on campus y where yous american colleges were hotbeds of opposition to the reagan administration, especially to defense policies. sure enough, as soon as weinberger began to speech, a group of students stood up and began to heckle. one after another they rose and chanted a single line. deterence is a lie. i was reminded of that turbulent meeting because i have been listening to these debates over iran s nuclear ambitions. it highlights a strange role reversal in today s foreign policy discourse. it used to be left searching instead for options like the nuclear freeze, and it used to be people on the right who would patiently explain the practical virtues of deterrented. the conservative thinker
is it parked offshore, and how much of it have you not yet paid taxes on? those would be very crucial issues. and by the way, i would expect romney to love the gingrich plan, because he says he lives mostly off dividends. under gingrich s plan, dividends would be tax free. let s listen to what bill o reilly had to say about this tonight. this is a rich guy, bill o reilly, who no doubt pays a higher income tax rate than mitt romney since so much of his income comes from fox news salary. let s listen to his take. romney has nothing to be ashamed of. he s paying what the law requires and it s a smart law. what liberal america does not seem to realize is that risk/reward. you invest, you might lose. if your winnings are taxed at a higher rate, fewer people will invest. are we all getting this? even you, warren buffett? david, warren buffett says that the tax rate has never had anything to do with his investment decisions. o reilly seems to think it has everything to do wit.
reasonable issue here in saying, well, where is your money? is it parked offshore, and how much of it have you not yet paid taxes on? those would be very crucial issues. and by the way, i would expect romney to love the gingrich plan, because he says he lives mostly off dividends. under gingrich s plan, dividends would be tax free. let s listen to what bill o reilly had to say about this tonight. this is a rich guy, bill o reilly, who no doubt pays a higher income tax rate than mitt romney since so much of his income comes from fox news salary. let s listen to his take. romney has nothing to be ashamed of. he s paying what the law requires and it s a smart law. what liberal america does not seem to realize is that risk/reward. you invest, you might lose. if your winnings are taxed at a higher rate, fewer people will invest. are we all getting this? even you, warren buffett? david, warren buffett says that the tax rate has never had
fined $300,000 for ethics violation. he even teamed up with nancy pelosi and al gore on global warming. reporter: and gingrich s rise has surprised some, including dan quayle. poor ethics has no place in the white house. i ve been there. pp if you have a person of questionable integrity it s very difficult to be a good leader. reporter: peggy noonan says many republicans are wary writing, he is a human hand grenade who walks around with his hand on the pin saying, watch this. and others who served under gingrich in the house were also sounding a warning. issues of temperament have been documented for many, many years. it just gets so visserally personal and that s concerning us all. reporter: gingrich has taken the high road, declining to engage. i m going to stay positive. i m going to talk about how we solve the country s problems. i have one opponent, barack obama. reporter: other conservative rivals are expected to continue their own attacks against gingrich at tonigh
