since then according to greatest access of prosperity but history have been in decline this is inevitable and nothing lasts forever. one may be a healthy age to find the straight to reasonably consider the options this is designed to make a moral choice between two flawed and alternatives. if we do not have that choice to weaken the power of the american electorate. it is our country to enjoy as long as we choose. thank you.

hollywood to do rehab robert redford, barbara streisand. what is the dynamic? are there any other signs in your career that it might be redirected? >> if you look at the people trying to save the world the phrase then hollywood was the soul so dead so those are saying the overall so that they start to read their own press notices. that is what we see.

i don't know that is an answer to your question but i like saying it. [laughter] a big mac. >> a question in the back. >> a connoisseur of competence giving us some of the great "confidence men." divvy dell is one of my favorite. i wonder as you look upon the political scene how do assess president obama as a confidence man? not as the fly in the ointment but what about mitt romney? >> they say they will work

[laughter] they have to spend their life doing press and once in awhile we get one who wants to be a public servant who has time between lying and begging to take care of the country.

[laughter] was tsai critical of capital? i am not driving a cab

anymore. [laughter] if you write the same play as 65 as you were at 19 you are doing something wrong. [laughter] >> when you talk about the dow suppressed by currie age and believe will and have now come out of the political closet with a doubts that of the most fertile ground trying to persuade them to have the same the privity? -- e piven day? explain the yorba linda cool transition where is the

greatest doubts or success to persuade others as you now see them? >> i cannot persuade anybody. the only people i ever talk to our conservatives. liberals? you are lost. you are in a round room. [laughter] my first conservative was a friend of the french. i was impressed he answered questions and was composed and simple and tried to gauge his responses to the labelled-- like kurt -- request% of ots saying he is sodium polite. [laughter]

maybe there is something in his conviction of the two great rabbis because you is more polite but i really think breaking free of the bubble is a terrible i think it is breaking free of the addiction of thought star's was public-school says and in one half of the media. especially as it spreads itself what do the political enclave. so if you have a wonderful experience to at talk by reason you appreciate the value. >> we have a

question in the quarter. >> i am day big fan where the compensation structure is laid out. cadillac, estate tax, the eighth eight tonight was of cadillac of the speech although black that may go in front of a funeral. is there anything you can tell us? i accept your prognosis and diagnosis but what can we do to keep this experiment going? maybe as you duralast the meant days and did your last statement.

son to take them to some school but it is important to tell the truth. you don't have to be confrontational but once in awhile when someone comes to us and says explain your position is to be to say i would be happy to. tell me where i am wrong. is enough already. now is the most important elections since 1860. i really do. [applause] >> why aren't there more

conservative playwrights? is there any sane to be done about that? is that just the nature? >> you cannot read playwrights. he kept shaking down the state anti-government and it did it with the eskimos. [laughter] and the all female cast. he did not care. but unfortunately contemporary theater comes out of the university system william peterson 22 years old we did not know any better. but nowadays on the internet

with twitter or whatever the hell they do doing it to a university is rather than having the experience of the free-market you have to please the audience. to have the unfortunate experience to be the teacher , said to have your flick of -- pic of affliction play is. so we can have the fact of xyz. you have to 1/2 of a place to fail.

with those plate complications they cannot write. they cannot write. [laughter] >> on love to get your kid and on your colleague. >> tony will work his side of the street and i will work mine. we have different political views. that is the great thing of free-speech 55 if i can find enough sucker's to invest yes i am glad i said it. [laughter]

>> i am mack tour. i was interested in what you were saying it about being social animals and excommunication. to have that intellectual conversion before you were less established were you more reticent to be more vocal? >> yes. [laughter] >> good to know. [laughter] [applause] >> i am eric cantor but i am not stupid.

[inaudible] >> i have a new play called the anarchist.

[applause] patti plays a weatherman. as an amalgam of but there was another woman that was just caught susan something. so patty plays one of these and has been a parole officer and debra winger trying to make a her mind

and i think it is cute. [laughter] you have to have selections from marks. who could ask for anything more? >> in the northeast part of afghanistan it cannot be more remote. this valley is a cul-de-sac it goes nowhere.

flying helicopters is hard it was only foot to or helicopter. but as trying to win over a terrorist group had some sort of truce with the taliban they are nasty characters those other not there to fight for afghanistan or their version. so they were recruiting while repressing people to fight and rumored to have surface-to-air missiles and stockpiling guns and credited with the valley that caught the attention of commanders in the east.

when they decided they had to go to export the violence from the safe haven. but what they rebid to list it was such a hard place to get into an we have all seen the news that night raids are highly regulated who controls the battle space it takes a long time to get the mission plan. how to get there what the helicopters could do and when and where they could go. the idea was a would fly to the ballet until the soldiers and fly off.

two originally go to the top of the village they would. out of the helicopter. but because of restrictions they had to settle for the mission in the one who knows the fight uphill is never a canadian. few can take the high ground you want it. son to reconcile the risk is at the top of the village board to give up the hill? that is where the team was left on the morning of the mission to know they have to do this the weather has already delayed it was

surprised if they already have the sinking feeling. that proposal book because it is where you get soldiers that have universal bad feelings to say we took up the chain to say that starts the book and down the path that ultimately gets them in the ambush. >> that is typical. you don't get soldiers who speak out and one capt. basically do there work was then the plan. you try to have the element

of supplies. so that commanders it financed by the job smuggling operation that they showed up selling the gems to finance old campaign. they knew tactically that the plan was flawed. but they knew there was incredible danger blaming the helicopter then they have to climb to get to the compound so what is the

mercenary training the soviets they still planned to carry out the mission. you can describe a little bit what happened when they landed. >> they fly into the valley from jalalabad. there was a certain window with the weather with the cloud cover and so they had to work quickly. bru-ha-ha but you can imagine. there was some much trouble, vice the helicopter stumbled and could not land some been word jumping

10 feet some landed in a river running to the middle of the landing zone. they get pass that the it 10 feet is the size of a basketball court some magic in jumping out of that and the mountains are a lot higher than they imagined. i could only imagine standing in midtown manhattan and being surrounded at all sides of sheer cliffs. they start walking to the village i don't know what you see in your head but depending where your the country it could be a.m. colored mud hut it was

literally cut into the vaults. stone houses all breakup and rounded almost 360 degrees they were surrounded with the stone house is. it takes awhile to find a path but it cuts back and forth i know you veterans are shaking your head. there is only one way up. you're in the cul-de-sac of the valley and they do you are there. they hear helicopters. list there the bad guys. it is very quiet. then they seek three men run

at the top and one has a god. -- has a gun. >> novelist james patterson and is at the miami book fair and he talks about the reading program he has started. we want to look into the other leading programs from the united states we will begin with jane robinson and the cfo of the group called first book. can you describe what that is? >> guest: i just want to say thank you to c-span for all of the incredible support you have given to the concept of literacy and you have been a reader -- leader.

the first book is a nonprofit to provide books and educational material to program surveying kids in the across the united states. >> host: how did you get started? where do get your funding? >> guest: 20 years ago. we are celebrating the 100 million book distributed. we started 20 years ago in washington d.c.. we have distributed more and more as the years go by as we started a new robot all in recent years. we have distributed about why 11,000,003 year and support programs across united states. 40,000 and now.

bundy comes from corporate campaigns as well as individual donors and foundations. we have a revenue generating model which is the first book. >> host: is there a special focus? preschool or classrooms? >> great question. first book has built a pipeline to serve all kids, eyeglasses serving kids in need for a reading is fundamental is a good example with 1900 programs supported as well as 40,000 others. headstart after-school programs, of entering '03 t nurse supported by first

book. >> host: we are joined by the president and ceo from reading is fundamental. . .

she wanted to take a book home. one of the mothers came to school to return the stolen books and i said no we want the child to have the book and that started a tradition where we might present a book helping the child's rights and earnings. one was thought to be the teacher to help children potentially at risk of not wanting to read now. we are here to help them in the joy of reading first by putting that book in their hands that they have chosen, and the notion of recent years we have really tried to stress even more the

involvement that needs to happen with that book if it is going to come alive. we have undergone eight transition in the last year for 46-years-old, for the last 34 years we have had a large federal book grant that wasn't funded in the fy 12 budget. so we are now doing the kinds of things we should have done more of informing her cooperations with our friends. we've always done private fund raising and we are stepping back up. >> the two organizations, do you see yourselves as competitors, collaborators or how? >> we see ourselves as collaborators. we get asked that question all the time about competitors. as mentioned, we have a significant number of programs who purchased the books from the

marketplace that she mentioned but we have always looked for all kinds of ways to be able to collaborate and when the federal grand went away facebook put together a wonderful proposal proposal to purchase the books from them in a manner that will really allow us to purchase about to hundred 50,000, to enter the 50,000 more books in the and we would get for the same dollars spent elsewhere and so we are very excited that we are going to be giving this 1 million the book over the next several months anand in this moment asserting the first distribution of those. we are focusing doing much of our work this year on out of school time, when children are out of school or the winter holidays, spring break and

summer and we are going to divide these up and can't produce activity sheets that will go home with the books in this house of school time with the whole point that other groups that are private nonprofits that the parent will get engaged in the out of school time so there is a lot of excitement on the staff about this project right now. >> jane robinson? >> yes, carol is right we are collaborators in the extreme fantastic educator and has led the sector for a long time and not too long to of course but we have always -- facebook has built a pipeline that supports programs like carroll and many

others that are doing fantastic work. our primary model has been to bilmes the logistics that provide tremendous access in the classrooms serving kids in need because that is a huge and then our founders found facebook 20 years ago. one of them was volunteering here in washington, d.c. and realized that these were local heroes supporting the kids that needed help the most in an environment of would work for hours a day and they were absolutely without resources, just a box of broken creon's if they were beyond the reach of programs like this at the time, and many were.

so what we realized is we can certainly sold one part of this problem. we can build a pipeline to get resources to them. programs like the others are increasingly devoted to what type of content is on and is available to the program and how they use that in the classroom. we considered ourselves soldiers in the same war who taking on that challenge and planning beyond what we have reached so far so we can get a crack to be completely across the united states and beyond. >> do you work with public libraries? >> we do. we like to make sure that we get a brand new books that are chosen by the administrators and teachers. that is our primary focus, but

we have absolutely worked with our corporate partners to supply school libraries with brandt to books and we've had multiple initiatives that focus on replenishing libraries. and as a matter of fact right now in response to hurricane sandy's devastation, we've got a web site up and we are working with partners to raise funds to purchase terrific replacements for libraries and the new york and new jersey area. >> have you moved into the ebook world at all? >> not in a big way, yet. we are encouraging it and do not discourage it. children have not had access to

the piece of equipment, so we have been looking at how can we promote that because frankly in addition to wanting children to have books and get them engaged and the book is a great way to do that for many children, i do not want to look back ten years from now and say my goodness we let another digital divide occur. we want to make sure that the children we are serving have the opportunity to learn how to use the book and what it is and what it can mean to them. we know that our friends at facebook are working on that kind of thing and i can't help but think in another year or two that will probably be a project that we are doing together. >> you are working on the books? >> we are working on a digital platform so that we can work the boundaries of all kinds of

limitations for these kids. if anyone is confused about whether there really is a divide, let me reassure everyone that there is a horrible gap in this country. 42% -- and that is not in a statement. 42% of the kids in the united states are from low-income families. that is the simply don't have the kind of access to the educational resources and books that children of means have. so over 30 million kids. and if we wanted to bridge the gap or decide on, whenever you want to call it, we've got to fill the substantial systems that can affordably get those resources to them. that doesn't mean that books are going away, but it means the digital content, digital devices and the terrific research and learning for people all of these

resources have to be brought to this called the base of the economic pyramid. there's a base of the economic pyramid here in the united states, too. and we have got to bridge that for the kids. that is what facebook aims to do and as carroll said, we have a large plan to get a digital platform, and we are about to do that working hand-in-hand with a terrific organization. >> carroll, former first lady laura and barbara bush made one of their signature issues when they were in the white house. do you see a difference in support when something happens like that when it is that high profile? >> we certainly do and he was fortunate to have both of those on the advisory committee until the white house when they began

on every committee that you have ever spoken of. but the disability that each brought with them to the white house whether they were all to the dhaka were still serving on any official committee was extremely helpful and they both have foundations that have continued to live, so it certainly is a big help when people like that in those decisions of power are helping people see that there are children out there that do not have a single book in the home except -- and what we hear most often when we talk to children of lesser economic themes you will say to you have a book at home? and we know that we are getting ready to hand them one or we wouldn't ask that. we have common things we've heard from the years. well my mother has a book wrapped up in special cloth she keeps in the drawer and you realize it is some kind of a

family bible that is special and the children know that or they will talk about that book with yellow paper and of course that book with yellow paper is now going away and there are no yellow pages in many communities anymore. so i think it is very difficult for those of us that always have all the books we could have ever wanted. what they're owning them are going to the library frequently as i did in a very small family in southern arkansas. i bet twice a day during the summers. there wasn't a lot else to do and i like to read what it is hard for us to believe that there are no books in the home for a child. the child lives too far from the library to walk or ride a bike. fitting the library into the family schedule when there is little or no free time or good transfer transportation they can't afford it and that is difficult. so, it's, again, it's critical

that we believe these things are being told and these children are in need of one of the most basic things that most children in that light and that's books. >> jane robinson, you have 60 seconds to make a pitch to somebody that may give you and your organization money. what is your pitch? >> i think the pitch is believed us there is a gap in the united states. we have to provide the heroes that are serving the kids and need with the resources they need. we are losing geniuses because we are not given the educational tools to make their and imagination's bring to life. this is a work force issue, health care issue, citizenry. people won't vote if they don't know how to read. we have to enrich from the

bottom-up so the kids know they have a chance and they can begin life for themselves. >> karen what is your pitch? >> we have children in the schoolhouse doors that are already so far behind their peers with one simple set of figures that i often use based on the good study that was done a number of years ago, and we had kindergarten children entering the school that were from welfare families that had a vocabulary of 3,000 words. that sounds like a lot of words for a child to know what it means. however the upper middle-income families that lost in the vocabulary of 20,000 words. that is a huge gap. and unfortunately, in this country, we never close that gap. so we need to start early and then we need to be really ready to pour the resources and owls

were discussed and to the early years of children being in the school setting where we can try to reach them best. >> carroll is president and ceo of reading is fundamental. what is your web site? >> ris.org. >> and jane robinson is the chief financial officer of first book. website? >> firstbook.org. >> thank you both for being on book tv and for talking about your reading progress. >> thank you. >> thank you. here are the best-selling hardcover nonfiction books according to the new york times. the less reflect sales for the week of november 12th. first
