7:37 am
this was an old bullfighter or years ago or? sure. now, i'm sorry, bother you. i, i want, i did one of the yoga or the attorney. well, no, i was born here many years ago. and he used to be in an old fire house around here someplace were you know, where it would have been might have been here. and i was converted or that used to be a tiny, tiny fire house. let me just check up a little bit with my mother punch in your face over there. when i was 6 months old, we moved from little italy in manhattan to this area right here was a housing project one night. my uncle frank was all what his wife and a mob guys came down as well. can you guys with badge and felt steaks?

7:41 am
mortgage. we had the g, i bill encouraging construction of new homes. so the whole idea is your government wants you to have a home. so this was an easy way to sort of jumpstart housing industry and make home ownership possible without those subsidies, lower and middle class families didn't ever been able to afford to master move in to the suburbs that we saw in the late 19. for these 25960 s i was a police officer here in national county, and we were the swat team as well. people i went to and you noticed story about sticking your tongue on a place both. in the middle of winter. i didn't quite on netflix. i swear to god, i didn't if you couldn't afford to put a down payment on the letter,

7:44 am
a young girl. when i real proof from i got to the southern company the cut the cut over the month. i think that was the quote things alicia. very good. this was the right weapon against the right and the local. no, no, no, but i keep bombarded was filled out through z o o z the, the signing of the us to all about agreement and laid the groundwork for the road ahead toward a lasting peace in afghanistan. and then a mcdonald and her i
7:45 am
lose, i ah, i presented a special report on one of the most unusual diplomatic events in recent history. one of them will be mis moments in the history post warehousing and basically nixon saying decrease of that the strength of the american economy is the post to our home and the ability of the can to purchase consumer doorbells to fill it. so let's
7:46 am
go to the system that will give the people more good will be the better system. and this one particular moment, nixon was right. ah, this was the strength in the american economy. i can remember, even as a kid, looking at house magazine and seen the incredible vision of the future, the house represented in those pages was something that you could aspire to. and that was starting to become a reality on me. imagine how wonderful it would be to live in the house like that future because the presence in the house of the future house of 999 will be virtually maintenance free.
7:47 am
7:48 am
me. me? hello. hey buddy, give me like 45 minutes. all right, buddy. boy, i the only thing that leverage did that was wrong with it. the only thing that did that was wrong, and i'll be the 1st one to admit this note blacks and loud some blacks. and that is disgraceful. ah if i'm fighting alongside a black man, was willing to die the he can't buy
7:49 am
a house next to me and live again. me simon, i don't make a nuisance. i used to live in town. believe we were looking for a place to buy a home. we left town, we'd like to share, we like the advantages of left towns to offer in comparison to other cities and we understood that it was going to be all right, we're very happy to buy a home here. ah . busy when you come to this neighborhood, you know, immediately it's different. on 20 centers,
7:50 am
it gives you a feeling of park settings ah cruise i was struck by how familiar it felt. it was a connection to every town that they both developed as post war suburbs. i believe, i believe, and he built these houses. he really built youth houses for the veterans coming home from the war. it was hard for him to get financing for these houses because they were so different. the whole social part was i know his design and probably shouldn't even say so don't. i'm not even going to open it. he
7:51 am
was a socialist and i think a lot of the people that moved in here were i'm going again 12 percent. oh, my father is greg green, fairly well known california architect from the forties and fifties. so these are the letter that i just came into my hotel room from an interesting and an expected visit to the basement drafting rooms at yale. are one and a half days of philip johnson's jewel new canaan. he is a real fascist intellectual. i started rummaging through some old papers and then they came across his here, 200 page, or 10200 page filed the f b. i kept on them and they were watching everything he did from the mid forties to the mid fifties. gregory,
7:52 am
believe that decent housing should be the right of everyone, not just the privilege of the very wealthy people. 12 percent of the population is black. there should be a lot of black families living out here. yeah, this is only a beginning, but i think it's wonderful. well, let's see how wonderful it is when a watermelon ryans come fry. and when i turn out, the neighborhood was supposed to be twice as large. the plants was for 100 homes and only 52 were built the f ha at the time. didn't think that inter graded neighborhoods would attractive to the general public and they're providing mortgage
7:53 am
insurance and in their minds that would bring down the value of the home you know, most people in america, the value of those homes and parents passing that on to their children that made the biggest difference african americans were left down and that that inability to participate in what created american middle class has a lot to do with the problems we have now. the really interesting dial and that and think about the longer deeper history of what housings meant in the united states. not just that old question of the american dream, but the bigger question of who the dream has been for ah,
7:54 am
7:55 am
but the golden outside house stuff is tough. oh. as a kid, i didn't really understand how segregated the city was because i never left my areas. one time. my dad to my god, i was house for a week. is like literally right outside the city. and he had a nice apartment, complex pool every day, and brilliant people, a decent car. it wasn't loud at night, it was fun. but when i got back to the city, they got evicted. my dad sent us somewhere for a week just to get the house together. i've moved too many times to count. i've lived in so many neighborhoods. it doesn't allow you to gauge what is normal
7:56 am
his neighborhood still pretty much like the same. a lot of these out of the vegas, we used to go all behind them in up in him. almost like it's ready to go in and find everything or left before they got evicted. you know, a jack black, some foreign over some like the the community didn't feel it does now you see earlier vacancy whose kids is just having fun. baltimore is a microcosm of many urban areas in america. and it is like dickens would say the tale of 2 cities. you have great investments in certain parts of town and other investments looking like a ghost town. baltimore in many ways is the ground 0 for racial apartheid in america. is where racial zoning was invented in
7:57 am
1910, and then racially restrictive covenants were also created. here we have a miss in this country that the reason neighborhoods are segregated is because people like to live with one another who are of the same race. or because african americans have too little income to move into white neighborhoods. or because there's private prejudice that prevents african americans from buying homes and white neighborhoods. and that's all true. but it's a tiny tidy part of that, that shows there's intentionality with the capital decisions that were made around housing in the forty's. and in the fifty's. and i think people are law to sleep thinking that certain things happen by default rather than by design, you have the f, a, j, the federal housing administration of bidders administration. they subsidize home building and suburbs, and then they say is racially exclusive. it means white people can move out to
7:58 am
these areas. but what is probably a surprise for a lot of people is that red lighting is created by the federal government. that's when the white bank is drawn red lines around black areas and don't give up, no grain. ah. when i would show the same wrong when all just don't the rules. yes to see out the same because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart and we choose to look for common ground, only one main thing is important for not as an internationally speaking, that is
7:59 am
a nation's allowed to do anything. all the master races and then you have the mind, nations who are the slave, the americans, brock obama, and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves the american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist. i turning this russian, enter this dangerous man that wants to take over the world. that was a culture strategy. so i'm a little bit on your own. i english v i v. i not leashed it off in one, interpret block nato to it's our we move eastern. the reason us head jimmy, it's dangerous, is the last, the sovereignty of other countries, the exceptionalism that america uses and its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nature,
8:00 am
what is founded, shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large companies would lose millions and millions or is business and business is good. and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fascist. new taliban is evidently out to when to borrow a phrase the hearts and minds of the afghan people, rods and crush them as the previous taliban would have done well, he speaks exclusively to the taliban militant and finds out people's fears about the grounded and while faith away those who helped coalition for it. of course we don't like them there traces but they may be toola, decreed that we do not flip them that they are under.
