jim, lee emerged almost overnight. lee became the successful defender of the confederacy. was he a sleeping giant that was allowed to slumber too long by jefferson davis? >> well, i don't think so. because lee's experience in the first year of the war had been a succession of failures. after he had helped immobilize the virginia troops and then had joined the confederacy, when virginia finally did join the confederacy, he had been sent out to deal with the problem in the western part of virginia, which became west virginia, where mcclellen actually had overseen successful union occupation in many of that area. lee was sent out to western virginia to try to recover that area in august of 1861. and every effort he made turned out to be a failure. he came into -- came under all kinds of criticism from the richmond newspapers. it was called granny lee as you suggest. then in november of 1861, jefferson davis sent him to the south atlantic coast to charleston. just in time for lee to witness the capture of fort royal by the union navy and the occupation of the south carolina an

and a very interesting thing and i think jim's comment about lee's masterpiece. but look at listen to these statistics you like statistics but hooker lost 17,000 men you know injure or killed captain, etc.. so about 13%. lee 60,000 men. he lost. 1200 or 12,821, which is 22% of his army. and the statistic that just blew my mind is i hadn't thought about this before, but the number of killed a chancellorsville hooker. lost 1606 lee lost. 1665. so lee actually more troops killed at chancellorsville than the hooker. and yet we do. we talk about it as a as a masterpiece because of what we've talked a masterpiece with huge ramifications the future because that gets us into another topic we get into the was lee did he use his troops in the way did he preserve troops or did he filter them away over a period of but that's what that's time that's another let's let let's let someone ask a question and go ahead. i know the are very interesting to talk about, but i've walked to the battlefields. it's very difficult to see what anything is. and of course, it's the same as the

he was used to seeing me rub hands over one thing or another, and so it worked, and so then jim jackson said, lee, come over here to the window and all the attorney friends were saying, april fool's.

angeles district office for the work that they did and featured in the front line documentary and for jim leeeputy council, all work but specifically anna park featured in that. i want to mention, so as i was driving in this morning there was a story on npr about a recent survey in response to the #me too movement, so the reporting by tobia smith, one year after #metoo movement took off, the nation divide on sexual harassment and more than 60% say movement has created climate in which offenders will be held accountable but more than 40% feel the movement has gone too far. what exactly quote too far mean wasn't defined in surveys, in follow-up conversations several responded cited a rush to judgment, the prospect of unproven accusations ruining people's careers or reputations and a band wagon effect for behavior that doesn't quite rise to that level or legal level. i'm curious, this is a question to many of you, i will start with mr. bowman, in the work that you do, what you see as to essentially a backlash, right, and how you approach that in trying to change the culture and generally your th

we do think there is a craft part of it think of jerry seinfeld or jim gaffigan or carol lee for there are people who do craft their material. and it is methodical. and then there are other people who get up there. and then i will think of bit and say something funny them for notes on a card and i work it out on stage a lot of comics, this is the other side that i would be upset if we didn't get to this, that stand up comedy when you talk about the craft of if you can learn funny, you can't, but it is the only artform for the audience sees your work in progress. and we need you to inform us. often times 99.9 percent of the time we don't know where the line is until you tell us. painting a huge oil painting masterpiece when it is one tenth of the way done and then they don't say here it is. it is the only artform. we need you see you cannot sis for doing our job. and i'm talking about when you come to the new york comedy club and you see comedians working out their material, we are putting ourselves out there and trying to write to these bits and we need you and that doesn't mean you're

about that, and his view, which i share, is that we need to send reenforcements to the rand paul, jim demint, lee group. it's amazing how much what five new seriously committed conservative republicans could do in the united states senate. we send them another five or ten, if we can get that many, it's going to make a huge difference, and pretty soon the good boys have to follow what the new young lionsment to do and that's restoring the nation, cutting spending, and renew our freedom.

and as jim said, we are very fortunate to have with us keith lee, acclaimed and author of the league of many of you may have been when he gave a presentation on that a couple of years ago now, right? yeah. in the league of wives, he tells inspiring story of the efforts of the wives of our p.o.w.s in vietnam to bring their husbands home in the course of writing that book, keith became close friends with of these amazing women i had the honor of attending the gala dinner held here last year to, mark the 50th anniversary of the white house honoring our return p.o.w.s and i had a chance to speak with a few of those p.o.w. wives. and although they were 50 years older than they were when they were working to bring their husbands home, they are just as formidable and strong as they were in the early 1970s. very impressive group of women. but tonight we are fortunate to hear heath's inaugural talk about her newest book just published today, a beautiful biography of, our own first lady pat nixon. i know many people asked you why, mrs. nixon, you know, there's already an outstanding biography

bush campaign that did in fact to say lee atwater was quotedd in "time" magazine saying we are going to make it associated with michael dukakis as he pointed out jim baker was a promoter and advisor of lee atwater, never disavowed him. but the thing that's interesting that does tell you about how much our politics has changed is that you have this absolutely scathing attack in 1988 on michael dukakis and again this was the only way they decided they could win the campaign and baker was very pragmatic. campaigns were shorter than. he came in only at the end of the convention and that's the rollout. they understood the only way for bush to win he was down to 17 points in the convention it was to tear down the opponents. this was aw. pragmatic decisionn his point of view but what happened after is quite instructive about what a different moment it is. he's appointed secretary of state, the first appointment and what's he doing within weeks he's sitting down with democrats, sitting down with jim right the democratic speaker of the house and they are planning how they are going to basically and the american support for the contra war and to take this i

lee smith, starter. eckersley. bruce suitor starter. >> jimutside, ball two.    >> jim h.: john smoltz started and relieved, now he's starting again. wigginton is at first, he's the winning run. two men down. ball hit towards short, scutaro to second is, that will force wigginton and that ends the inning. at samuel adams, nothing we brew is as versatile with food as boston lager. the sam adams lager goes beautifully with a lot of ethnic spicy foods. the maltiness and hoppiness work well with indian food. samuel adams boston lager is strong enough to support a heavier meal and it's balanced enough that's it's not going to overpower a lighter meal it could compliment a salmon dish with a little bit of spice to it. whether at a restaurant you're at home if you're having great food and you need a great beer, boston lager is the beer that i use. sam adams with great food-- there's nothing better. ah, just installed fios in the whole building. now everyone has the fastest upload speeds. and we're giving them a mini netbook. well, i'm

that his lessons are changed everything -- then's lessons are changed everything, then lee butler changed everything, jim miller actually did change a lot and the 2013 guidance was quite different. they all made these changes but what is interesting is the premise each time was, we really have to change things, that it is done, it is still four or eight years later, people come in and say, we really need to change things. but the admiral said is nothing new. michele: i guess i was making a different assumption behind his words, which is i do think that we are in a period where miscalculation with either china or russia, the risk of miscalculation, of getting into conventional conflict that we did not intend, is very real, even higher with china than with russia right now. particularly with china, we have not negotiated the rules of the road, confidence building measures, transparency agreements that we did eventually put in place with the soviet union. we don't have an agreement with china. we don't have clear understandings between us on what is acceptable behavior around taiwan as we are witnessing in
