of applause. nice segment, thank you miami -- by my vote, please support the authors and just know what a special event you have here in miami every year, congratulations, thank you for having us. >> thank you, the offers will be signing books of law and of the hall. this session is completed, the next will begin in a few minutes. >> at the end of each caliber year, many publications post a favorite books of the year here is a look at some for 2022. the financial times, announced that chris miller won prisoners -- for his book chip war. the fight of the world's most critical technology. and from the world of the store go literature, a professor at harvard university one mcgill university's condoled history prize. for her book, all that she

carried. the journey of ashley sap. a black families keepsake. it's about the seventh major award that all that she carried has one. and here's some other notable books, of 2022, amazon's best nonfiction book list, includes beth may seem raising lazarus. aren't winning what on the opioid enjoyed crisis facing the u.s.. . which chronicles the fight to trace and create a vaccine for covid. mark bergen's white comment subscribe about the creation of youtube is on amazon's laws. here's a portion of a recent talk he gave a book tv. >> so, i've been covering since 2015. it became an alphabet, and it's expanding business conglomerates, empire and during that time on youtube, it's media division.

it came important for the company's bottom line. it also became an increasingly -- political hurdles. and some other major business problems in the past seven years, so during the time i was reporting on the crises and the issues and parent company is dealt with, fire after fire, and what i saw was really fascinating in a short period of time, this whiplash where you have these employees at google and youtube, who see themselves as an underdog to traditional media, corporate worlds. and hollywood. and within a few short years the google, and youtube is viewed almost equivalent to big tobacco. you've seen the social media black last, louis faced intense amount of unprecedented political scrutiny. i thought this was a fascinating story about a media

platform that's really despite its size, influences just hasn't had the same level of attention as some of its peers. and within that story. you have plenty of fascinating characters on youtube and inside the company you have this whiplash ofgoing from the rdog to sort of seeing big tech. this is som that is associated with a lo problems. >> we have covered discussions with all three of the amazon best books of 2022 authors. they are all available to watch online in their entirety at book tv dot org. another best book list of 2022 was put out by the los angeles times. on that list, david marin us with his latest, biography about the native american athlete jim thorn. it's entitled, passed by lightning, which was jim forbes native name.

also on the list is jack davies is the bald eagle, about how the bird became americas national single, and stacey schiff i with a piece by the los angeles times for a best book of 2022. her most recent, the revolutionary samuel adams. here is a portion of the recent author top by stacey schiff. >> samuel adams is an extraordinarily astute, very enterprising and ingenious americas first politician. he's a bit of a political operative, he is an 18 century downwardly mobile, brilliantly educated double graduate of harvard who has an obsession of politics. and has a tremendous sensitivity to rights and liberties being infringed. which we can talk about where that comes from. and he has at his disposal to rather unique qualities. one, he is a tremendously

fluent pen. in fact, he first comes to prominence because he is largely burnishing other friends pros. they can give their pages to adams to be, is they put, it burnished and polished. he's also a tremendous changer of minds, i guess i would say. he's extremely good at with or without brass knuckle tactics, persuading people that their rights are right total, and that they need to stand up for their rights. and connecting people who would otherwise not be connected into, as he will ultimately design them, various effort civil resistance. like boycotts, and pick, it's an extra legal meetings. so i'm notsure that, is he is a convinced or-in-chief. he is a persuade or in many . >> and we have allthree of these books cited by the los angeles times as best books of 2022. they can be viewed in their

entirety on our website, book tv.org. >> hoover institution argues that the idea of american citizenship is in danger of disappearing. to discuss the topic with the journalist, meghan kelly in new york city. the book is the dying citizen. here's a portion of this. >> the parties, each for different reasons, they agreed on open borders. originally it was agriculture but only 20% of them use that term. they work in agriculture now, it is meatpacking. >> do you believe in new york city there's an ordinance saying that there is an illegal immigrant, if done with malice. you can check me on that, but sent thanks to our mayor we have that. >> i have a 20-year war with my

syndicator because i used illegal alien, and they said it had to be illegal immigrants, and then it had to be undocumented immigrants. and then it had to be immigrant, and then that was derogatory, so it had to be migrant, because they didn't want it to prejudice which way a person was going or migrating. but the right wanted cheap labor, the mexican government wanted the 30 billion in remittances. how ironic was that, that people would depend on entitlements in the united states to free up 200 $300 and send it back to mexico, because of the mexican government. they didn't care about people in -- and now it's 60 billion with central america. and you can argue that it was a safety valve, where people had the march on mexico city in the united states. so they liked it, and then the left of course, the la raza,

that was a funny word. because la raza from latin, there was no la raza in the chicano movement at all until 50 years ago. and then people dug up the franco novel, la raza, and mussolini with two zs in italian. they found out that there is a simulation of hitler that said you couldn't be italian on lachine looked a certain way, and you couldn't be spanish, even if you were a spaniard, and even if you were living in the iberian peninsula. it was very antisemitic. so they dug up these racist terms. and then the hispanic militants took that term, and re-invented it for the race. finally, they changed la raza to i think it's -- but they wanted to change the

demography. they look to california and they said, we never going to have a party with the governor of reagan. now we have a super majority and both legislators -- they have these trump supporters, and finally, i think they felt that they could flip the electoral college. new mexico has flipped, nevada has flipped, colorado has flipped. they feel they can flip arizona. i don't think they're going to flip texas, but they believe they can. so there are all these people that wanted open borders. the only people who didn't were the middle class that said, they are lowering wages. and they are flooding -- i'm not supposed to use the word they either, i was told. they are flooding the emergency rooms. i just talked about a fellow that i know very well, and he

said, why did we want people to crowd in so my mother can't get dialysis? at the dialysis clinic. why would we want to go back to advanced placement of all these people coming in that we don't know. and the fact that they are not vaccinated, and yet dr. fauci has never mentioned that, not once. people get very eloquent in diatribe about some poor person in the middle west doesn't get vaccinated, or who doesn't. but when they anticipated 2 million this fiscal year that will come across the border with a vaccination. it's almost as if the citizen is punished and the non citizen is rewarded. and that transcends the travel, so one of the weirdest experiences when you come into l.a.x., you only see someone that forgot their passport. and they take them to that little booth, and they dress them down, and then they have to call, but they are trying to

make a performance art, don't do that. and yet, when you see these people come across with no identification at all -- >> he was asked on cnn, what about the illegal immigrants come across the border who aren't tested, and don't get the vaccine? they are just let into the country. the honor system to come back here, and what have you. and his response was essentially, the illegal immigrants are not the cause of the pandemic. a complete dodge. my eight-year-old is not the cause of the pandemic, either. but he has to have is a mask on his face all day, all three of my kids are going to have to get the vaccine, whether they want to have it or not. >> when you confuse the citizen that has responsibility and she takes it on in accordance to granting rights, as opposed to -- then you are back to the fourth century or fifth century, where you have these migratory groups coming across the west part of the roman empire, and i am

trying to think of all the things we used to say as citizens that was unique to the citizen. the citizen could home own, go in and out of the country. i think that's gone now. if you're not a citizen, you go back to mexico, or central america, and come back and forth across the board without a passport. the citizen was eligible for entitlements, that's been thrown out by the courts. the resident is just as qualified. a citizen alone could vote. i think that in school board elections, in massachusetts, i know in california, illegals are voting. the only thing that i can think of that a citizen has a right over a resident's holding office. i think that's on question now, to. so if you have a group of people that are residents and we don't know much about them, and we don't know what their customs or traditions are, and we're not able to assimilate or integrate or intermarry, because they are so large in

number, 2 million of them. they are going to go into enclaves. we've done this in periods with the irish and eastern europeans, but we've always -- we never gave up on the melting pot. we need to get the message to all of this, your own particular culture will no longer necessarily be incidental to who you, are it will be essential. and so it raises the question, why are we doing this? they want chaos, they want anarchy they don't want to be around these people. they reject that some g from vigorous field on a forkft is a liberal, i don't want my kids to go with their kids. i don't know what it, is it's almost medieval. >> watch the full program anytime online at book tv dot org, just search victor davis and the title of his book, in the dying citizen. book tv has featured many

politicians who are also authors, who won elections in this year's midterms. democrat, wes moore became maryland's first black governor. he's appeared on book tv several times to talk about his books. >> it isn't just about men showing the police officers have body cameras. it's not just about how do we add on clauses two things like the law enforcement officers bill of rights. or qualifying immunity. it's not stopping them. the demands that we are seeing right now are actually dealing with structural racism. and how exactly do we take all of these various issues in a way that there is no sense of sincerity, and a very real sense of activation and movement? >> republican senator tim scott won reelection in south carolina. he appeared a book to be recently to discuss his book, america, redemption story. >> i think it's necessary for

some of the more foundational issues of where we are, and where we're going, and how we're going to get there. i think the answer is we're going to go together, or not at all. i think it's interesting and frankly, helpful for us to go through this tribal conversation. to see how hard it is to try to make up for fat past discrimination to future discrimination. it's not working really well for us right now but we're going to try to figure that out, we figured out quickly. the truth is that all of the tribes that we are putting together, whether it's republican driver the democrat, or the black, one of the white, one or a class system, or a caste system. whether it controls or not, i think all of that will burn off and what it will produce is an american family that has more respect and appreciation for the necessity of pursuing the american dream as one family. >> in south dakota, kristi noem was reelected as governor. her recent autobiography is entitled not my first rodeo.

>> i believe republicans in the house and the senate need to cast their vision for where we are going. not just be opposed to joe biden, even though so many of his policies are bad for our country right now. i do think that we also have to be pretty clear on what we are for. and to be ready to take action, should we have the opportunity to get congressional bills passed, and get them to the presidents desk. >> the reelection in ohio, j.d. vance was well known as the bestselling author of hillbilly elegy. and he appeared at the national book festival in 2017. >> i think we have a pretty significant problem with the fact that you are effectively given a choice, when you graduate from high school, between going and working in a fast food jobs are going and getting a four year college education. and i think we should provide more pathways than that. it's not surprising when those are the only two pathways, that you see people going in those two directions. but i also think we have to

think more constructively about regional economic development. the way that this has gone for the past 20 years is i am a local municipality. i -- that's great new restaurants are fantastic. but that's not the sort of long term economic development has to happen in these areas. it's something that basically all level of policy makers have to be thinking differently than they are right now. >> cori bush was re-elected in her district. she recently appeared on book tv to discuss her book, the forerunner. >> this sexual assault that i experienced, before, it must have happened around -- it was my early twenties, late teens, early twenties. it was when i was still trying to find myself, quote unquote. i blamed myself. i spent the next 20 years blaming myself every single time that happened. oh, it was because my shirt was

cut short, and my shorts were short. it was because i was out walking with friends, and i met them and i was dressed a particular way. so that's why it happened. i just assumed that that's what i wanted, and i made all of these excuses for what happened to me and all of the blame fell on me. >> democratic senator, raphael warnock was reelected in georgia, defeating republican challenger hochul walker in runoff election. he recently appeared on book tv to discuss his book, the way out of no way. >> my dad was like that, and i talked about him a lot. and it's because he had such an amazing impact on me. he was a preacher, but not with the credentials that i have been able to gain because of his sacrifice. my dad was born in 1917. i had an older father, and he

served during the world war ii era, on stateside, for about a year. and he used to talk about how he was on a bus, and was asked to give up his seat. while in his uniform, to a white teenager. and he obliged, but he never forgot. but the thing that was remarkable about him is he would tell that story, but he would never allow anger or bitterness to overwhelm him. he was deep in his resolve. he was part of a generation that loved america until america learned how to love him back. >> you can watch all these programs online at apple tv dot org. and also tune in to watch all your favorite authors. >> first, we
