keep you up at night. when i was a precinct commander everyone knew the person or maybe two they did not trust in the other officers did not trust him or her either, so what i did when it went to internal affairs has brought the commanding officers on board and we would meet with them on a rig the basis and i would ask them questions like, who in your command are you a little concerned about. who in your command kitchen up at night? >> watch afterwards, sunday night at 9:00 p.m. eastern on c-span twos a book tv. >> if you have to define or put in one word or two or three words, what you feel you have got from her being in the white house, what would it be? i know you talked about that holly hunter moment.
3:52 pm
>> , it's the same. >> would it be? >> yeah, the holly hunter moment is-- i don't know if you remember that movie broadcast news where she would cry all the time. well, that would be me, but when i saw her for the first time like on the national stage in the "new york times" than it was clear that she was going to become the first lady, i literally burst into tears like from my guts and it was because it was the first time i had ever seen someone on a national stage , you know, who was like me , who is really like me. you know, and i think in reference to your question, taking away you know it's affirmation. it's simple. dislike the mirror. it's like the-- it's the woman
3:53 pm
in full and just to touch on what you said about the election one of the things i said to this paper is you know, what's clear, what became clear was this sort of iowa to say rejection, but for lack of a better word of hillary is a sort of the same thing with people who are michelle distractors and a lot of americans are comfortable, aren't ready to see a woman in full. she is a woman in full. hillary is a woman in full. i am a woman in full and that's what-- that's what i got. >> should we take some questions? do you have a take away? >> my take away from the obama's and i just thought it up now. she didn't tell us she was glad to ask this question. honestly, like the long game.
3:54 pm
my dad always would talk about that and he is still living, so he still talks about it, saving for the future, learning it the right way now so you can be good at math later. want to add the right way i call these things. though it the right way, so when you're done you did not miss a spot. just everything, but like now like yeah. not four years, not eight years, not 32 years and i think a lot of people have a picture of someone, the last great picture you have of them was them with this is a black president paper. i have that picture of my grandmother, you know? i see that online all the time pick someone's grandma with the "new york times", whatever they have. that's going to be me. i just don't know what that news
3:55 pm
is going to be, but now i have thoughts like that. like in 50 years something i couldn't imagine, yet a-- >> the original question was i had like two or three words to say, so i'm going to stay true to the question. legacy, hope and inspiration. >> you can watch this and other programs online at book tv.org. >> this is book tv on c-span2, television for serious readers. here's our primetime lineup. 7:00 p.m. eastern, reflecting on the 2016 presidential election. 8:15 p.m. an interview with the co-owners of politics and prose bookstore in washington dc about

3:57 pm
was how you look, how you feel, how long you live, how well you live? what was health? how do you optimize on a parameter when you don't have a parameter on which to optimize? i sent it to the publisher in about a week later the publisher, and said david, steve jobs just called and change the title of your book. i said he did what and i called up steve and i said what you doing and he goes david you can't put the word health and the title. it's a bad word in our country. as soon as you say health people's eyes glaze over and it's like chewing cardboard, he said. when you say health people think the brussels spouts. [laughter] >> he said you need something optimistic something clarity that he came up with the title" the end of illness" this is wednesday was alluding to, the only way you keep your health is the weight you don't want, and i will show you today that's not the case.

3:59 pm
they have a mutation under growth hormone and there's almost no cancer and no diabetes in a population yet we try to be bigger. so, the key thing is identify each of you what you want your goal to be. of the other big topic, things like testosterone, we here on the radio every day ads, so in the largest study done looking at people with low tea and giving them testosterone they found something interesting. when they did that no increase in muscle mass, no increase in libido, no increase of how they felt, but dramatic increase in cardiovascular events and death hurt by the way, death is a bad side effect toward a good. so again, i challenge you, whenever you do something and that will be the resounding message over and over is ask why and to say where's the data in what we are doing because
