is to show emotion in the boardroom warm the political battlefield, i mean. i think part of that is being in paula tax. part of it is taking shots ( who over the years and being a little reflexively defensive.

understanding that in order to get ahead with the guys you have to at least at the time kinda put up a strong base. people who can speak to that better than we can. just per generation the idea that being emotional in front of the public would be you had somehow is foreign. >> we have time for about two more. >> what did you say or want to say in this book about john kerry? what c-span.org you will say next but? >> he looks like lincoln. >> i think that is taken on these huge issues. they are still -- and we started writing this book you is not -- even partway through the bulky

look like susan rice was going to be the next secretary of state. par with their reporting, we did not know the time, barack obama asked hillary clinton to stay on as secretary of state for another year of. you can find out how that turned up by reading the book. but i think john kerry has taken on some of these really big issues. part of that is being there as a continuation of what is going on . having back channel negotiations with them. picked up on that. some of it is his own stuff, trying to get rid of the chemical weapons day. is taking big risks. we don't know how they will turn out. he wants to be a legacy to make the world a better place as you. i don't know how all that will turn out and i don't know how

it's going to look by comparison to hillary clinton's tenure. we just don't have the time to really judge that yet. he is swinging for the fences, no doubt. >> yes. when hillary left the state department there was a picture for as president having a good time in the back of the white house. my question is what is -- is in a budding relationship now? and was it implied that it is going to be campaigning for her as she approaches the end of his year? and what kind of symbolic effect that would have on the campaign when you have the american president assisting a probable or ethical first female president. and is that an asset or not?

>> i think that is -- >> man -- >> read an article where the republicans may wrap up some nasty gender related comments to highlight feminism. i was wondering if that's going the have -- for example, barack obama did not want to talk about race and all. well that also be a tribute to hillary when it comes to females ? >> i think that she will wanted user gender to her advantage and avoid it where it becomes a piffle. she's a politician. barack obama as a politician. when the chair my right stuff came out he when the speech. so i think what is the -- of

summer movies people from political assessments. as far as the support, not sure that you will see him come out and endorse a candidate and democratic primary. the vice president may well run. what you will see now is the big pieces within the obama machinery starting to move into line behind her or blow up under feet. and so what you see is jim the scene and taking your priorities u.s.a., the big super pak that is now a centric super pak run by obama's 2012 campaign manager and some of his field organizers i think this you're going to ultimately just see that starts to happen more and more. we ride in the book about seeing where some of the top state department officials went out to dinner and drinks with some of the obama ambassadors early on

in 2009. the obama ambassadors as you may have noticed from recent reporting, obama fund-raisers, big donors, matthew and don beyer who is now running for office in virginia came to this particular dinner. what you're seeing is people who would not have never donated money chair in their entire lives in 2012 started paying off for campaign debt as bill clinton went on the campaign trail for barack obama pbgc the coming together of these two political organizations that is much bigger than any particular endorsement. >> i should add, i think the first question was what is the state of their relationship. i think that someone put it to us as our friends. you will see the clintons really schmoozing and up over there on saturday night. i think, you know, they felt like the obama's could help them and vice versa. but think that the relationship kind of evolved over time. they did not really like each other or trust each other a

first. then it kind of -- they started to. actually, one of my favorites in the book is republicans talking about what it is like to work with her. and they called it the stages of hillary. and you go into it thinking, god, have to work with this woman. it's going to sock. then you think, okay, yet the acceptance stage. i am working with her. let's see relatives. then you start working with there and actually like her. you think this is funny and why is and add something. then you really end up enjoying the whole experience. this is coming from a really tough, top republican. >> that is actually how the new york times described the book. you eventually get to the poverty like it. we, of course, hope that you like it right away. we will take a liking it by the end. speaking of and, thank you so

[inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> is there a nonfiction on their books you would like to see featured in book tv? send this in the milk.

>> one thing that i think is interesting about politics and movements in the 60's in a way that i think is different from our contemporary society, something that in a large manor was considered @booktv an impact on popular culture. this is something that i think sometimes we take for granted. carmichael is that college rock star. not to mention but to give the context of saying what happens when somebody who has been in looks is this activist in the cameras are all over. on the cover of every magazine. the essence, but in any. a lot of these different magazines, time, life, all these different colors. and he is somebody who vary

enormously is charismatic, married to this beautiful woman and pursued within the black community in international. in the same way there's an iconography of the black panther party, this party that is not only a political party that has some foreboding and a party this -- images that are seductive and attractive. so when we think about it of all of that is wrapped up in there. not only is she this formidable international celebrity but somebody has a very keen understanding of african politics and anti colonial struggle and anti-apartheid struggle. that becomes very close domestically carmichael and then it becomes a real conduit. >> i think what happens to her as the depression deepened, and people did not know it was the great depression from day one.

it that it was probably a typical cyclical event. and that pattern did not hold and when the depression deepened hoover found itself facing increasing pressure from the left for greater and greater expenditures, greater intervention in the economy. he started to hold the line against that and became very much a fiscal conservative, balance the budget, save the gold standard republican. and last year two of his life that perceive frigidity and is part is part of the reason that he got attacked as not doing anything. he was quite activist for is time. some policies that might not have been an effective. on the other hand he was an valiantly struggling against the total statist turn such as he saw coming in the new deal. >> the missing link in herbert hoover's memoirs. tonight at 10:00 eastern and sunday at 9:00 on afterwards. in a few weeks military

strategist and former assistant defense secretary will take your calls to my comments, e-mails, and tweets on the mideast and the wars in iraq in afghanistan live from into three eastern in depth on c-span2 book tv. and this month on book tv join the discussion on the biography of step with carmichael. get it c-span.org into the chat room. >> up next, an interview from planet hollywood hotel and casino in las vegas, the site of freedom fest 2013. his book the naked socialist to read the book completes the trilogy that was started by his father

>> host: what's the connection between those three books? >> it finishes up the trilogy. my father was trying to explain and show and describe the powers that a moving through the world causing a little bit of grief. intended to do one of socialism but died before he could finish. i went ahead and did that for an. a great name. you strip communism of all of its fakery in lies and fraud. you ought to call it naked communism. so did his. >> it was your father? >> former fbi and chief of police of salt lake, terrific, writer, a national best seller. the naked capitalist was a national best seller in each over a million copies. that's a lot mid-1950s. >> so why then make a socialist? >> there is an underpinning for some work that was not described

in fleshed out in the other books. that's what i did. socialism is more than a political party, more than just a name. we tell people is a word that is fairly modern. but it rests upon seven really bad ideas. those ideas are as old as humanity. we just happen because socialism >> what are the seven pillars of socialism the list in your book? >> here we go. we have the first one is an all-powerful ruler. as i went down instead is socialist societies and cultures i found these seven common ideas, all-powerful ruler the one group or individual. the second one is a society in sub being divided in the class is. there is always an elitist class, those that get the favors of the rulers and the help and the money in permissions and all that. that was the second characteristic. the third one i found was the

rulers promised things in common it will make it there and help out, take from has and get to the have nots. the fourth one after that is to achieve fairness we must regulate all things from the top in all of these powers do that. regulation is number four. number five, you comply or your dad. 6,000 years of history, that's always been there. and then number six, the control of the information. and they tell lies. there the only ones that have permission to tell lies. everyone else has to speak truth to misinformation control, numbers, statistics, the media, planting things. number seven is there is no such thing as an unalienable right. they tell you what your rights are. so those seven bad ideas, now the you know them you can look

anywhere in history in the united states now and see which of those are growing. that's your evans the socialism is here. you don't need to be a political science major at my history major. those seven markers and you know we've got trouble. >> where is the united states with regard to those? >> we are well underway. our constitution toward socialism, our constitution has been so ignored and abused unchanged in altered by the supreme court there is now culture and our nation bloc, a thinking like a socialist paradise with the one us to do. your first reaction to five anything is out in the government solve it for me. very limited. so we have a strong ruling class

we don't have the kind of control over our senators that we should. >> what you mean? >> well, 17th amendment is what gun away. the way it was originally set of have a tremendous friend howard stevenson, a state senator in utah, good friend of mine. we've had lunch. leaving out the church together. he's my state senator. lacking an hour and say howard, are senator just voted for tarp. he's been voting to increase government. the guy is out of control. howard goes to the legislature and talks to the others. they say we're hearing the same thing. again on the phone and, then say you're fired. the tape that senator home and send a replacement. that can happen today, but that's of the founders set up. they've come at a mess and there have to wait five and half, six years until the next election.

the 17th amendment really did destroy and cut our representative government sets. so that's one of the movements toward a strong tough government , socialism contained. >> in chapter 57 revolutionary bad amendments was the name of the chapter. you say that point in the 14th amendment. what are some of those? >> we need to go to my notes. we have got so many good intentions. when they violate correct principal then a country starts reeling off in the areas the create more problems down the road. one of them and i mention there's about citizenship. all you have to do -- be here long enough to have a baby in the can become a citizen.

that reeks all kinds of havoc with our immigration issues. that is will we are fighting right now. and it's unfortunate. good people usually -- good people with a lot to add want to come to our country, but we need a mechanism to keep out those that will hurt our country. well, how'd you do that? the system and process was kind of torn down. >> the 14th amendment known as the due process and in the. [laughter] >> just asking. a lot of people. >> okay. correct. >> and slavery. >> it was used in slavery. there are good parts. the list with those good parts are. at the same time of was a very poorly written amendment. we need to go back and revisit

it and take care of some of these negatives. yes, slavery, very positive. unlike that. hon -- unequal protection was injected in their government. meant to protect the citizens. the 14th amendment takes that away. we can tax you at whatever rate we want. the states say, no, you can't. it's a big discussion and is complicated. that's why try to clarify some of those once. >> you go back several dozen years. what is this chapter? >> part of the warrior socialist once you have these seven pillars of socialism in your mind and can see how that works

you can see look at this. there were doing it back then. nothing is changed. i go all the way back to it china, egypt, india, greece. so here you have this society, the spartans builds on warriors and take employes from their parents of this young age, seven or eight years old and sending them into military training for what purpose? to eventually rise up and be a warrior. the whole society is structured to the family you would graduate once every year, usually in the fall and take their 18 year warriors. they go out and kill a mature graduation. sneak up on and taken out.

and here's a list. all throughout ancient history. >> this is how many pages? >> 507. >> 500. >> par 14. socialism today in america. >> a greater change in the greater people. the conversion of the law into an instrument upon to. >> isn't that great? >> what is trying to get that is the primary goal of socialism, exactly that right there, to allow the hammer, the iron fist of the government to impose its will uncontrollably on all the rest of us. that's the beauty of the

constitution. it didn't allow that happen. changes. the founders or no dummy. we need many. you will have to get a somehow. they do that through now the income tax, graduated income tax . they repress with prosperity the show was go. so once again the scenario is unfolded. >> i wish i could be as good as that. he actually wrote a really great book. he just explains the basic principles. back in the 1800's. >> my background, i was -- well,

i work for the cia for while. >> doing what? >> i was a military analyst. then i moved in to their operation center and became an intelligence officer. that was the 247 watching the world. if something happens to a tow ever needed to know. and then at the white house the same position opened up in the situation room. so i applied and went over there for two and a half years. president reagan started his second term. and that's actually what started me on my studies. thinking like a socialist at infected his closest advisers. i could watch him. i don't know if you're supposed to. the conference room had to sliding wooden doors. we in the situation room if we had to give a message to let someone in, look through people

and see them. this apparently against the door and watched president reagan. i thought, why aren't you leading? you are a great dynamic president telling his people what they're supposed to do. the brilliant strategist was having to fight fire with fire. some of his own people were viewing america's problems and solutions in terms of bigger governments best of very hard to get around that. >> well, in your book on presidents and socialism the take on richard nixon. inflated regulatory controls. >> that was a real challenge. what are they going to do with it? stay within constitutional bounds or use the loose

interpretation to perpetuate and build their own legacy? and just let every president, it was a very often i could find a present that actually tried to shrink the government. nixon tried to inflate it. jimmy carter, i don't like jimmy carter appeared relaxed and the carter. there were some real problems with them. he's a good man is hard. i started to look into his legacy. he actually wanted to shrink government too young to appreciate. you want to shrink government. we should have all supported that. his own party, his own democratic party came out against an. nineteen as i remember. to the democratic party and run automatically veto these. the democratic party turns against them. there want to control government carter tried to shrink it.

what a thought. aside from all things are madam for we should be grateful that his attitude cannot. >> are not a great difference between republicans and democrats. >> not today. trying to enlarge government. that's the answer of power. mitt romney tried to stop that. look now we have to cut back. one of the devious tools of the socialist mentality is to make people dependent upon government. once your dependent when we retire is going to pay the bills? look for the medicare.

>> the naked, as to the nation couple's. >> star szigeti thinking like a socialist. when i try to do is get under that seven city is unable like and how the money was socialist. i loved margaret thatcher's ." taken out of context and combined a little bit.

socialism works until they're run out of other people's money. so at a you get other people's money? and that's within a decapolis is about. loving to cut 1200 pages of the explains how central banking works. they have these private central bank's controlling the money. how much money i they endeavored to. $75 trillion worldwide. and for that there are paying billions and billions every single month in interest. because of the private institutions. alexander hamilton had that idea a constitutional convention.

the other founders left him out of the room. he got mad when home and on the shortest tour three times so today the veto by reviewing an excerpt in long quotes selective quotations. long quotes. >> chapter 56. revolutionary thompson books. some of the books that you sarah on this list, the republic by plato. bleach blossom spring. utopia written by thomas moore. the jungle by upton sinclair. why have those books -- >> they'll follow the same pattern. if we violate principles for the

good of the whole we can have great harmony in our society. look out nice things will be if we just cooperate together. every -- and the founding fathers understood that. in each of these attempts to paint our society the solution is always strong government. they don't consider freedom or individual action plan to end at the hem of a top of the local level can handle. people letter directly impacted. >> is a self published? >> it is. why? >> quicker. a little more control over that. i didn't even ask anyone if

there were interested. the gun out there. so much information. many to develop a curriculum for the people of this nation that they can read and understand and get it in their hands. things are going to get worse. or on a downward slope. socialism is interesting. the history section in this book my show how culture collapsed. socialism just doesn't build, doesn't create. people are born somewhere up here and die somewhere down here. socialism. rea problems. someone born here in died down here. they need help. that way all the way down. and friends from england and europe to stop by. i lived in socialism in england and germany. it worked fine. local another friend came home. tell me about their health

system. it's horrible. you can go into any house will get help right away. its sturdy. you have to wait for months at a time. don't have anything like america? yes, they do. in the private health care sector. what other hospitals like? hours. can you get an mri? that day. this beautiful example of the slope of socialism. this wonderful free enterprise free-market profit driven system that offers some much more. there's a lot of help in getting back to our basic principles. >> where does president obama in your view fed? >> is a big government man. people ask me, is his socialist? that depends on your definition of socialism. this is the definition that i

always use. government forces to control a change society. and obama is right there trying to control and change society. the founding fathers developed and built the constitution so that could happen. that individual is supposed to be a tent. we hired him to go ahead and help guide a director country. so government forced to control and change society. yes. under that definition obama is definitely a socialist. if he is not declared himself a member of that party, whenever, all of the proverb. >> doing really well. available as a download. amazons the place to go. >> you have a previous book to

want to show our viewers as well . >> in my research and as a look into the different countries, those poor and oppressed people have a sense of humor. having get through this idiocy for decades. so i gather that information plus of the little tidbits and things a collective. how did you just one. he is addressing the communist party. in 1968 we were standing on the edge of the best. since then we have taken a significant step forward. >> that's true. >> that's a little joke. and they had fallen one jokes about high is capitalism on the edge of the best.

the answer is a vacancy socials better. a wonderful sense of humor. that seems to be a big deal. not very funny. his up around 75, 76 million. the soviet union itself comes in second. just terrific. people look at that and say, well, yeah. that was over there. how quickly it came. >> been talking with of the paul's cow but his most recent book. he's also the author of conrad paul socialist path from reader. here the books. you're watching book tv and c-span2.

>> c-span2 providing live coverage of the u.s. senate floor proceedings and keep public policy events and every weekend book tv now for 15 years the only television network devoted to nonfiction books and authors. c-span2 created by the cable-tv industry and funded by your local cable satellite provider. watch us in hd, like us on facebook mind folacin twitter. >> so to say that we -- pretty serious. some scientists would say we're only on the verge of the sixth. maybe we can still prevented. others would say we are pretty deep into the already. we are changing the world very radically and very fast. not on like an asterisk. in fact you will hear and i have heard a scientist say this time we human beings of the astor.

so how we doing this? how are we changing the world? well, actually there are a lot of ways. i'm going to just focus on three tonight. that's our changing the atmosphere canal or changing the oceans and elliott changing what dowling, the principles of geographical distribution. so let's start with the atmosphere. every year we humans and in the order of 10 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide. that's calling for the most part from burning fossil fuel. you all know this. i'm really not calling to belabor it. its ordinary stuff. the driver cars, we turn on lights. this over 7 billion people on the planet right now, and it adds up. will we doing when we burn fossil fuel is we're taking car been that was buried under the earth of the course of hundreds of millions of years and transferring it back up into the hemisphere.

we're basically running geological history backwards and at a very high-speed. would taking a process that took hundreds of millions of years to run in one direction and running it in the other direction in a matter centuries. and if you were an alien and you came to visit the hurt he could easily conclude that what we're doing, the fundamental purpose of modern industrialized society is to affect this transfer as quickly as possible. >> the suggestion is will we see freedom of choice, let people go their own way, what i think we often mean is they know best. the government does know best. and so the notion of autonomy, pretty elaborate word, is basically a way of -- the one word way of saying that people know better than outsiders do about what would make the lives go well. in this sounds kind of academic and abstract, but i think that

mistakes are real and concrete. the question really will me think about our policies, at least a lot of the question is are people going to be sick kanaka they going to be miserable kanaka they going to be dead? if we have some policy whether it involves saving for retirement or if it involves privacy on the internet or if it involves air quality, if we can think of some way that makes them less likely to be sicker miserable a dead while also letting them ultimately go their own way offense with it what, that's probably a good bargain. >> former obama administration official on his latest sunday night at 8:00 on c-span q&a. >> here is a look of some books being published this week.
