so so much got lost by the wayside. and, of course, the best example that i could give that all of you are familiar with is the negroes' burial ground in downtown, right, new york. how it was the black cemetery all the way throughout the 18th century, got destroyed in 1795 because of real estate speculation, what else in new york? so the cemetery was taken over to make ground for, to lay, lay ground for new lots to be sold, houses to be built, etc., etc. and then there was the problem of the archives, the earliest new york archive was established by john pintard, very well-known, white elite man. in 1804 the new york historical society. but black new yorkers had to wait until the 1920s to, for arturo schaumberg to establish the schaumberg center. and yet, basically, the archives were ultimately my only resource. it's the only place i had to go to since my family had begin me so little and half of a story. so what i do in the book, and i do want to point this out, is the book unfolds on two levels. on one level the story

because of soviet growth develop so quickly, so much so that we, saw once very poor nation industrializing enough. unfortunately we cannot say the same about free market stalinism. i.v., trickle-down economics. they fail to deliver high-end invested at high-growth. especially in this country, the top 1% took about 10% of national income in 1979. by 2006 through a series of tax dollars in business deregulation and so on, they share has gone up to 23%. it might be even higher today. but i mean, there isn't -- we have the latest figure. so the rich, the very rich are getting something like two and a half times more than before, in proper terms. but since the late '70s, the rate of investment is a part of national income have all fallen to the previous period of the '50s, '60s and '70s. so, you know, the rich, especially the american rich, have become very lazy, very inefficient. you have to pay them two and a half times more to deliver what is inferior good. less investment, less growth. they try to justify all this by saying, yeah, we are, thanks to all these policies, richer than ever. yes,

so you have to see chargers oil traders for puking on market so james dyer and nicholas wild goose forward b.p. traders who were working for oil trading house arcadia upon were charged for a scheme to hoard oil make a quote load of money and then dump it in in a never double puking according to e-mails acquired by the c f t c well the inevitable puking is known before hand because the system is so highly leveraged we're talking a leveraged ten thousand to one forty thousand to one and they know that at certain points that the system will automatically puke out positions because they're allowed to continue would mean instant insolvency for half the global economy it's kind of like watching those japanese sex robots out of an orgy and then all the sudden they run out of electricity never seen that but this scheme happened between january and april two thousand and eight to see f.t.c. complaint alleges that by mid january two thousand and eight the traders had accumulated four point six million barrels of physical oil or two thirds of oil available for delivery against the february w t i futu

and the execution -- the execution was so fast, it was so complete, it was so perfect that they didn't have any of the backlash that they had feared from their own -- from their own citizens, and there was no response from the u.s. or allied military, which were only 12,000 in west berlin surrounded by 350,000 soviet troops within striking distance of berlin. >> host: one of the characters we haven't mentioned yet was the mayor of best berlin who later on, of course, became the chancellor of the federal republic and inaugurated from the republic of detente and the soviet union. what was his response to this because after all these were his people in west berlin who saw this wall actually going up were literally as you described very well in your book streets were divided. in one street you had some people on the street living on one side of the wall and others on the other. how did that affect his view of the united states? and what were his -- what was his attitude towards this? >> guest: he was -- he was livid. and he wrote a letter saying as much to john f. kennedy, which upset pres

row so still no car. there till macau seventy shamar colors also told you so this is so new macau. with resorts much less really close its own look at riviera hotel macau centro tell me. i welcome back to that kaiser report time now to turn to economist john mcdonough she's a former c.e.o. hushmail he's a former chief for extreme right visa he's also a blogger and monetary future he's been writing about bit coin lately so we're going to talk to him about it calling john like tell us while the other guys are apart thank you max good to be here all right so what is it calling well to start off on initially how i got interested in this i'd like to just take a step back and say that as a society i think that i believe that we can do better than centralized monetary planning and the basing the currency as the central bankers have been doing ok that's a recurring theme on the. exactly this is why we really want to dig into this big coinstar is getting a lot of press lately so take us through what's going on here ok the beard at the very basic level bit coin is a peer to peer distributed

you know, so, so it varies. or i might get shiited off into the field department, which is a totally other department of producers where those are when we go out and sort of try to get people to ay stupid things. >> right. >> that, that's, that department. >> normally successfully. [ laughter ] a high degree of success. >> you'd be surprised how much people like to say stupid things. >> no, i'm.ú [audience laughter] .it, it's the greatest thing in the world actually. >> it's, it. >> and the field stuff is as opposed to the green scceen stuff where you appearrin dubai or in washington but you're just basically off camera. >> right. >> the field stuff is what happens is, a producer, a field producer and myself will go travel somewhere and, and sometimes to multiple cities and have multiple interviews. so usually whenever we do a field piece we usually try to do it, go out one eek and then the following week have it cut and ready for air. >> andd and then air. the -- you actually answeredú two questions for me in y

i have so much so long time. i was ashamed. i was ashamed that i didn't. i was ashamed that i hadn't a clue why i got my arm i got my legs. in the my. car i would be out of knowledge i was a boy. now believe what i was going on once or i think. that i was a book so. most older on the other side and i think i'm just a good. i welcome back to the kaiser report time now to turn to economist john mcdonogh sees a former c.e.o. hushmail he's a former chief for extra visa he's also a blogger and monetary future he's been writing about bit coy we lately so we're going to talk to him about bitcoin john but tell us welcome to the kaiser report thank you max good to be here all right so what is it going well to start off. initially how i got interested in this i've like to just take a step back and say that as a society i think that i believe that we can do better then centralized monetary planning and the basing the currency as the central banks are as have been doing ok that's a recurring theme on this exactly this is why we really want to dig into this big point s

so, okay. so the overall sort of picture is that the argument that people are having is an argument over the content of these categories. we can't take for granted in the case of abraham lincoln or in the case of any of the people who have followed him that it was clear what the content of those three categories -- political, social and civic -- or rather that it was animating the debate about what actually belonged in this each of those categories. struggles to define the concept of equality before the law pivoted on the contested question of where the social or private domain stopped and where civil or public life began. seeing the struggle over equality in this way helps explain why opening white schools to black children was more politically contentious than opening fancy restaurants and theaters to black patrons. it helps us understand how white republicans in the early 1870s could argue for racial equality while at the same time opposing independent black political organizations. and it s

so that's a visual cortex. and is amount of glucose that would be consumed by the visual cortex on my brain is going to be dependent on the complexionty of the visual stimulus i have in front of me. so how much glue cows is -- glucose is likely to be created, probably a lot. between 20-50%? so this is one of the areas that requires the most glucose consumption in performing a task. when i'm speaking, for example, the areas involved with language may be consuming 10-15% more glucose than if i were silent. so there's significant viability depending on the area of the brain that you're studying on the one hand, but also on the complexity of operation that you may be performing or the complexity of the stimulation that you're being exposed to. so what we observe when you have the cell phone like this, and by the way, the cell phone is muted. because, if there's noise, that would activate the cortex in terms of hearing. so it's transmitting text that has been recorded, but it's muted. so what you have here in terms

so... >> that's great. 'cause i think people think of dried fruit, and they think of maybe, oh, just trail mix or snacking. but i mean, look at all this stuff we have here. this is amazing. >> exactly. and i think that's what we really want to communicate to our customers-- that dried fruit is so much more than snacking. >> yeah. >> you have--obviously, you have all of the baked goods, delicious baked goods. we've got-- >> those look great. >> orange cranberry poppy seed muffins and granola bars. but not only that--you can do main dishes. >> oh, yeah. >> so, you can do a pork loin roact, like we do for our holidays as a family. >> oh, that's nice. >> it's a family tradition now, which we love. we do a plum-stuffed ravioli with ricotta cheese and parmesan and sage butter-- >> oh, wow. >> which is delicious, 'cause you have a savory and a sweet. we've got a ham and a plum kibd of a chutney. >> oh. that looks good. >> just delicious. and what's really fun is, we get feedback from our customers. so, for example

so there's 7,000. and then i worked a deal with our local education foundation which is businesses in our community and i said how about if i raise 3500 will you match it? 3500? and they said yes and i worked a deal with a private businessman in town and i said if i raise 1750 will you give me 1750 and he said yes. so then i could go to you and i said will you give me 1750, i'll send a kid to college for four years. and then i flipped -- it doubled, doubled and doubled. and we were able to provide the scholarships that way. we ran it all through the private foundation and did not use city money to fund them and at the end of the day, we keep statistics, everything i do we keep statistics. so what is the average graduation rate for a low-incomed free and reduced child in florida? i've never been able to get a good statistic. i bet it's under 50%. the total was like 64% at one point. our kids -- by the time i left office, we had had three classes of kids that started in sixth grade. all three classes gra

but mugabe's real target wasn't so much the 10,000 or so white farmers, it was the million or so black farmworkers who were the members of the farm workers union which supported the opposition and was a big million note that he needed to break up the commercial farmer to farming structure which he did. >> i think that you read the important point that there are these stories of change also we've had the leader in zimbabwe for 30 years there's certainly been changes within the society. your book i think does an amazing job and presenting to us the view from the ground after the 2008 election and what people were experiencing and i was quite stroke not only by the level of fear people had also the brutality people had experienced and i wonder if you want to talk a little bit about some of the people you met and spoke with and the treatment they received just for possibly being in the opposition party without even evidence of being the opposition party can you talk about that? >> guest: it was very extreme. i've been a foreign correspondent for decades and i've never seen anything quite t

so that is when the idea started rrz for tanjet. >> for tanjet. so wise words. what you he learned from this experience of being with one of the most recognized womenin technology? >> actually i ilearn mostly threthings. on a personal level, also on a business level, and also on a community level. we can start with the personal level. working shadowing marissa to work and home give me a chance actually to see hout she interacts with the familiment she's a very busy lady. >> rose: huge. >> successful, but yet she's very passionate about her family. she makes time for family. she, analso for friends. and she was very kind enough to take me along and meet some of her friends. and then she introduced me to this new world of experience in american lifestyle from appreciating art. she's a scientist who loves art. and now i like art because we went to museums and i met her father, mother, brother and her husband, of cours and so-- . >> rose: did you meet larry and ser gei. >> not on this trip. however-- . >> rose: very busy >> i met-- . >> rose: heim's sure she can arr

so there are only so many original moves that you can make. so if, you know, ten million games of chess have started in position one, you know, you make your first choice, and there are still a quarter of a million games that have been played in that position. and one of the big challenges to being a chess grandmaster is how to get into a completely new position and to get your opponent actually thinking rather than simply remembering these kind of standard wisdoms. so one of the stories that i tell in the book is the day that checkers died. which was in 1863 in glasgow, scotland, checkers died. this was the world championship checkers match between james wiley and robert martins. they were scheduled to have a 40-game series over the span of about two months. and the outcome was zero wins, 40 draws and zero losses on both sides, and, in fact, 21 out of the 40 games they played were the same game. [laughter] move by move. that there -- the game had gotten to this point where there was such a giant pool of collective checkers wisdom and the play

and so am i going to. so on health care i mean i think that there is certainly a cost issue and that is in our long term fiscal position in the united states health care is the issue social security is not very minor and so you can be fixed with a couple percentage points of g.d.p. it's just it's a small problem on the health care issue though we have a cost problem we don't have a we don't have a problem with access or we have a problem with access because of costs not because we're delivering you know superior health care you know many procedures in the united states cost twice as much as they do in other countries and there's no reason that should happen so you know saying that we can't deliver health care to the middle class i think is is the wrong way to approach the problem the right way is say we have a cost problem we need to control costs in the united states and we need to provide health care to every american richard you want to put employer earlier is questioning how are you going to control ou

so he... most revolutionarys that you can study in history have a specific goal and when they reach it they then institutionalize that goal. mao didn't want to institutionalize anything. he wanted permanent revolution. he wanted peoe to go through this process. >> rose: but he wanted permanent revolution in china. it wasn't that he wanted permanent revolution the way fidel castro wanted to export revolution... >> no, he didn't want to export it but he thought china would... again, would be sort of an... >> rose: admired and therefore... >> an inspiration, fo example, again in e chinese documents-- some of which i quote here-- in 1969 when he became... began considering thidea of opening to the united states he wanted to get an took place the following question. he called in the head... the australian communist party. he wanted somebody from the west but he wanted the communist and hi asked them the following question. i'm watching the student riots all the world. >> rose: this s in '68. >> '68

so thank you. >> director? >> yes, so, thank you for your presentation. and i just wanted to inform the commission that, as imapply and both jenny have stated that our offices work very closely with all these organizations and the one thing that is really terrific about the sfeda is in many other types of fields where we have our community-based organizations, they don't work cooperatively together to provide the best level of service. and you know, it really speaks to our economic development organizations coming together, collectively meeting, figuring out what's the best way to work together to provide services for our small businesses and developing, you know, area where is they have a particular -- they might have a more skilled program and then allowing another organization to work on its skilled program. so -- which service our business community much better. and it's been a valuable resource for us because when we see clients, one of the first things we really stress out is how well -- do they have their business plan? do they understand their fin

so, i'm learning. time i have no idea what the hell, like, goaltending and i'm like, okay, yeah. and i just -- but he just needs a therapist so i just sit there and let him talk. >> jimmy: is your brother still living with you? i know on the show he is. >> yeah, he does. >> jimmy: why does he live with you? >> good question. well -- when we -- first when lamar and i got married, we got married so fast, so -- >> jimmy: really fast. >> really fast. so we lived in a hotel until we found a house. we were staying in a hotel and we found a house and i was so -- i -- including bruce's kids, i have ten brothers and sisters. we all grew up together. i'm so thrilled to be alone with someone, like, just, like, no brothers and sisters, no one taking my stuff. but lamar asked rob -- lamar is an only child. robert has no real brothers and mip father passed away and lamar said, hey, you're 24 -- at the time he was 22, come live with us. it's kind of own your own, but baby steps and he said he's on the road so much, h

[laughter] and so, so the reason they're doing it is so when they bring people back, they don't haveto bring teachers back at the high steps because they're not going to take -- because the new rule is you don't have to bring teachers back on seniority alone. you can bring them back with seniority, yeah, but competency, they have to interview, it's this criteria-based bringing back. some people say that's good. they'll bring back young kids. but then again, how do you attract young kids to be good teachers in your school system and you're going to bring them back and say, well, come back and work for us because every march 1st we're going to fire you, you know? which then we'll -- and then we'll rehire you maybe. that's not good job security. but i think they're working it out. i think the commissioner of education, the new one, i think she's a spark plug. i think she's going to do well. if they keep her. i don't know if chafee's going to keep her. it doesn't look like he's agreeing with much of what she does, and she kind of has to bend to him. so it's a whole political thing. >> do

and so-- whoo! (laughter) >> if i was with a friend, you know, i would maybe say stuff that had similar content but i would be behaving differently. and so-- and so that's why, like tom cruise can, like, show a lot of energy in "jerry maguire" and get applauded. and then if he jumps on the couch on oprah, people don't like that. but they're still performances. i mean it's hard to draw the line. >> rose: right. >> and so i guess if my project make people think about me and my life as a possible performance, i don't mind that. maybe that's becoming part of my project. >> rose: but take what you just said. let's take general hospital for a second. >> yes, let's talk about that. >> rose: you initiated that, did you not? because you and your friend had been thinking about soap operas and maybe this and that. and then you said why not a real soap opera. >> right. >> rose: so you write a letter to the people at general hospital or call them up and say i have two conditions. one is there's got to be an arti

i could -- economic impact of it is just so great and this is so important for the city. president o'brien: i do, too. >> i just -- i would recommend -- because time constraints, i would just like to have a yes-or-no vote on this. president o'brien: ok. can we have -- so i guess the motion is to recommend approval of supervisor farrell's proposal as well. >> i will second the motion. i make the recommendation. >> i make a motion to approve supervisor farrell's legislation. >> second by commissioner kasselman. would you like a roll call? president o'brien: yes, please. >> commissioner adams? >> yes. >> commissioner dooley? >> no. >> commissioner o'brien? >> yes. >> commissioner clyde? >> oh, this is hard. i'm going to say no. >> commissioner kasselman? >> yes. >> commissioner o'connor? >> abstain. >> commissioner yee riley? that motion carries, -- >> commissioner riley has not responded yet. commissioner riley: not yet. i'm thinking. i have a little problem approving something without seeing all of the facts. >> pardon me. that motion does not carry. >> commissioners for a

so berlin, 161. >> rose: so how did you go... you went and had access to lots of documents that had not been seen before? >> i got access to some documents that hadn't been seen and then i also accessed lots of documents that hadn't been used. >> rose: right. >> and there were soviet documents, there were german documents and there were u.s. documents. but the story that i ended up really spending a lot of time on because it became clear to me early on in my research that this is the story that wasn't told was the story of president kennedy's first year in office and his foreign policy regarding berlin. >> rose: you call it one of the worst first years in presidential history. >> and i'm sure i'll pay for that with... it will be the most controversial point in the book. but kennedy admits it himself. he says at the end of the year in a conversation with ellie able who was the... his... my dean at columbia university journalism school but at that time he was the detroit news bureau chief, the washington bureau chief and ellie able

so there's -- instruments.o there's a big discussion now going on at the commodity futures commission over various kind of derivatives instruments that were used and kind of central in the financial crisis that we just went through. and, clearly, wall street's going to have a big say in what happens there. well, the -- it's interesting that you mention the nexus which is really the critical issue with goldman, the nexus between washington and wall street. and they seem to have mastered, you know, the art of going between the two and making the maximum sort of profit from being able to maneuver in both worlds, washington and wall street. but i was a little disappointed that there wasn't more of the sort of behind the scenes juicy stuff about what went in, although i will say that there was a scene which you recount about how reuben, who eventually became president clinton's treasury secretary, essentially interviewed clinton when he was still just governor of arkansas and considering a run for president. and, es

you read the newspaper and it says so and so, 22. whatever the age is. 55 percent more inclined to put that qualifier when reporting on john mccain. these differences were consequential because people who read newspapers were significantly more likely to think that john mccain was too old to be president when you control for other factors like party identification and background characteristics. it makes a difference how newspapers report. also exposure to campaign news, widely creating the impression that john mccain was too old. not only that, but the percentage of people who said john mccann was too old to be president increased by 10 percent across the general election. when you put that in model it shows that they simply were not going to vote for the republican ticket. on obama's side what they do to facilitate that impression, they did things by having slogans that would mention old allot in reference to john mccain. here are some various campaign ads. john mccain is blaming barack obama offer of gas prices, the same old polit

on and so forth so i would shouldn't overstate the case here the same time there certainly are issues but the question is what should one do about it what policies should what time to change to address those issues and i think that's the hard question that we need to think about it's interesting samuel if i go to you in washington in light of what we just heard there should we just have a new definition of the middle class because there doesn't seem to be a lot in the middle of there's so much concentration of wealth in the top. i don't think it requires a new definition of the middle class but i think it does require you know consideration by policymakers and an effort to kind of rebuild the middle class and the united states you know we've seen we've seen a disappearance of the middle in a few areas in jobs and wages in the long term unemployment that we're facing now but also in kind of general middle class goods that we consider essential for a middle class lifestyle like health care and education you know some want to disagree with the previous speaker jeff jeffrey you know colle

(applause) >> stephen: so i was so excited. folks, i was blindside when at the end of his show huckabee hucka said this. >> i will not seek the republican nomination for president this year. all the factors say go. but my heart says no. >> stephen: the factors say go but my heart says no. why? because it rhymes? (laughter) what about the republican field is a mess so my heart says yes. or you're up against paw lentee, he's a-- pawlenty, he's a grandi, you're a venti. then it hit me, i couldn't figure it out, folks, but then hit me. i know where huckabee is not running are. you see, four years ago i put this guy on the map. >> the only reason that i'm the front-runner now is because of the cole bert bump-- colbert bump. >> stephen: i made mike huckabee. yes, i made mike huckabee. admittedly a bit of a rush job. that's why he came out so lumpy. (laughter) >> stephen: but folks, what does stephen give us, the colbert take away. on march of this year i put mike huckabee on notice and at that moment huckabee knew it was huckaover. (

so i just want to thank you. i know we've had a lot of fits and starts with applications for the safe route program that has been denied previously and we just kept on trying at it. so i just want to say thank you for your persistence to see this improvement come forward. commissioner after lose? avalos: thank you. i will be supportive of this item. i think it's great we're providing this infrastructure around our schools. and i would like to meet with m.t.a. or the staff to talk about similar ideas for district 11. particularly around balboa high school, ocean avenue, and that area. a lot of people walking. we need to coordinate better the infrom structure that goes -- infrastructure, pedestrian areas, as well as how we can make transit and our buses run effectively in those areas as well that are safer for kids as they're going to school. so we can meet up afterward to schedule a time. that would be great. chairman chu: thank you, commissioner after lose. i would definitely be supportive of those efforts. i thi

so it is those two factors. and i think that science now has contributed to our understanding that people with a substance use disorder, they may have had the initial choice to pick up alcohol or another substance, but it's not their fault that they become addicted. and this is something that's been, been around for a long time. but it eludes most of us, i think, most of the time. and the other thing is controllability. science is now, as i mentioned earlier, helped our understanding in, in terms of people's inability, the impaired control which we know is an essential, perhaps the essential characteristic of addiction, is this inability to control, this impaired control over, over use despite harmful consequences. and so this issue of cause and controllability and the science that's, that's really informed that, have really helped i think to de-stigmatize. and we need to get that message out that these are health problems to, that they are treatable. they are probably the most, have the best prognosis of any me

[laughter] so it didn't bother me so much. yes, ma'am. >> i just want to give you a little encouragement and let you know i bought your book solely on the premise and i didn't know you were coming here to speak so i was very surprised when you did come. and highlight come it is a very funny book but i liked your insight. you kind of spoke as if you were those people working in the minimum wage and you gave me an idea of these people that i look at when i go into the grocery store with a wal-mart or whatever, and i really appreciate that. my question is did you attempt to live on a minimum wage or did you do some mind processing on what a budget of minimum wage would allow you to purchase and how you would live? >> first let me thank you for your comment. i tried to do that as i wrote. i'm sure all of you being readers are familiar with pat conroy, and he has the biggest heart in the world and he is a guy who when he's not writing he's running around trying to fix the world because he's such a compassionate guy and he reviewed

you know sometimes you see the story and the scene so. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear see some other part of it and realized everything you saw you don't i'm sorry this is the. republicans in south carolina they light late as gang to screw over the unemployed following in the footsteps of florida michigan and missouri south carolina is on the verge of cutting unemployment benefits from twenty six weeks to just twenty weeks clearly south carolina has an unemployment rate and bordering on spend percent which turns this from an act of politics into an act of talent but this really is nothing new when it comes to republican state lawmakers in ohio governor john casey has been targeting public employee unions chopping up education funds and shortchanging single moms by cutting child health programs all the name of deficit reduction just signed a thirteen million dollars contract with a casino group to figure out how to maximize gaming revenues in the state that's right he's shut the door of working fam

so we instantly send out messages to people, so we move the protest to somewhere else. >> so you fakedthem out. >> well, we actually reacted to them reacting to us. [laughter] sometimes we give them fake dates and places of demonstrations and go there and shoot them while they are waiting for us. there was no demonstration at all, but we just enjoy that. [laughter] because it costs them money and effort, and the officers, they stay in the street for long hours -- >> standing in the sun, no water. >> sometimes they complain to us that they were not able to take off their shoes for, like, two days and is tough like that. so we get back at them. but we use different techniques. sometimes it's okay to tell the authorities you're going to protest in front of the syndicate, and it's okay for them to encircle us, and it's okay for the media to shoot us while the police is encircling us. during this last revolution, it was -- we were sure that lots of people are going to join, so we decided that the demonstrations are going to be in only one place. they are going to erupt in different squares

start moving forward i hope so i think all americans hope so conservatives and liberals and everybody else in between but to just say ok now we're done because we kill this guy in pakistan would be a dereliction of duty you know and it's been it's been clear for a while that the mission in afghanistan has been detached from the mission against al qaeda and bin laden for some time that's not the same word with the goals are admirable of creating in afghanistan sure women are not of use for little girls can go to school the question is what can we really achieve and i think there are people who've been looking at this a little bit more a little bit harder nosed way the administration i think the fact that we've got a lot now gives them a bit more of a boost in these debates well in the meantime it's been nearly ten years and that why it doesn't seem like we've. achieved all that much yeah i just want to ask one last question she was last night when this is going on a lot of people are saying that this means that obama has now sealed the deal when it comes to twenty twelve this is makes

so there is a solution so it does not become overly burdensome. ok. now let us see what this looks like when you submit it. if you look at attachment b-one, there is a signal template, and here is what it looks like. we want a sheep that looks like this attached to your plan is set, with everything legible to our minimum microphone sizes, and maybe it takes two sheets, and that is what we need, so we try to make it easy for separate sheets or whenever it is. this particular one is if you are doing a lead or leave the equivalent system like you would do for these guys or high-rise, we have green point ratings, if you use that, and we see which of those elements you will be achieving, and importantly, with the actual model of these checklists here, here is one of these checklists. there are a lot of pages. you check what you are providing, and you actually tell us where on your plan you can find the elements to claim that you will be doing. so you say you are going to be putting in the point because we're using engineers, what ever is. you look at whate

so, so i am not -- yes, you're right, i am not a libertarian. [laughter] and i will talk to you, but it's just i've been busy. so -- [laughter] >> you described tribal societies as a precursor to the state. what does, what relevance does that bear to a country like libya where tribes are still tremendously important although they have a state? >> well, so it turns out we've discovered to our dismay that there are still many societies in the middle east that are organized tribally. when we stumbled into anbar province, we simply didn't realize, you know, that you had to go to the sheikh and get him to agree on behalf of the tribe rather than, you know, trying to organize elections and, you know, all this other stuff that americans are wont to do. and i think one of the big, you know, tunisia and egypt have had national identities and much more modern political systems than, let's say, yemen or libya or even jordan in which tribalism is still extremely strong. and one of the things we simply do not know about libya is the degree to which the curre

fourth amendment you know the one that protects people from unlawful entry or searches inside your home so if the high court gets their way ok the people who is your state trust me well in south carolina the little financial assistance to unemployed residents is about to be slashed from twenty six weeks of benefits to only twenty weeks so this is fair for a state that has about ten percent unemployment higher than the national average and more light is shed on the secret lives of banks details on how they made billions wrongfully kicking people out of foreclosed homes. the idea of a supreme court is working around the clock to undo the fourth amendment of the constitution last week the high court ruled that police can now enter someone's home without a warrant and without probable cause and in doing so people of that state do not have the right to keep police officers from arresting them without cause on and in their own property a case of him focused on a man who shoved a police officer who walked into his phone without a warrant and without his consent the man was then stung gun and arre

all right, so anyway, yeah, so, it took about ten years. so the producer and director asked me ten years before the project would i help them with the project, the movie, "walkout," the story of the kids walking out. just as important, by the way, as what cesar was doing in the fields because his program was in the fields, the pardon farms. this thing was an urban movement where all of a sudden it was discovered there were millions of mexicans across the southwest and across the country period. anyway, getting back to this. they asked if i would help them, i said, sure, on one condition: that my love interest be either sal ma hayek or eva longoria. [laughter] the next thing is who's going to play me? i was a good looking bastard when i was young. so they said how about benjamin bratt? be he couldn't get out of a long-term contract on tv, so they said how about marc anthony? it's not going to be a musical. [laughter] so then they decided on mike pena. mike pena is a hell of an actor, chicano kid from chicago. he had done a lot of stage work

i know so much so long time the series. i was ashamed. i was ashamed that i didn't. i was ashamed that i had been a hero why. go i go away. but i want the vietnam war to the. head i'll believe what i was going on once or i think. that i was a good soldier. but not most soldier on the other side and i think i'm just a good. place to live only next to the border with gaza and egypt. but also on the border of peace and war. they are responsible not only for themselves. but also for their loved ones. and they are ready to take any risk. street and large. i welcome back to that kaiser report time now to turn to economist john mcdonogh sees a former c.e.o. hushmail he's a former chief for extra visa he's also a blogger and monetary future he's been writing about bit coin lately so we're going to talk to him about bitcoin john but tell us a lot of the kaiser report thank you max good to be here all right so what is bitcoin well to start off on initially how i got interested in this i'd like to just take a step back and say that as a society i think that i believe that we ca

so it's still being worked on. >> so let's talk a little bit about the inspiration for the play. i mean, i've seen from reading different things about you that your productions or your plays have been inspired by very diverse things. for example, there's a play you are developing right now for the asian american company which is based on the asian children's book the five chinese brothers, a play called four chinks and a dike. there's also the dream of kitsumura which was inspired by a dream you had about your father. this play, way back, before it became this play was an adaptation of the 1954 play rashamon. how did you get from rashamon to this. >> the original idea was that i was going to do an adapt daition of rashamon. cary pearloff said you want to do a play for us, how about adapting rashamon. i said, sure. as is the case when i do this, sometimes i go in a straight line and sometimes i end up somewhere totally different. i've grown to accept it, that i'm going to follow the horse wherever it goes and hope that the theater is comfortable with it. so it started off as rasha

so insects can't get in. and we're going to look in a second at holes in the building which is a serious problem where both water and insects get into buildings and the building code says maximum space something a quarter inch where you have meche covering a hole. -- meche covering a hole. this is -- meche covering a whole -- mesh covering a hole. that's good. the vinyl hides any damage to the wood which is a serious problem with vinyl siding by the way. you don't know what's underneath it. you can't see what's under it. it's all hidden. here's somebody's hand rail, a pipe rail. some serious maintenance due on that. here's a brand new building, looking at the same problem. it does not flash. by the way, it doesn't have any hand rails yet. it's still under construction, i think. but, you know, people are building new problems in by not having the flashing done as we're talking about. let's talk just for a second about exterior mold and mildew. we talk about maintenance and preventing long-term problemsful. her

are spending so much money they're not collecting enough in taxes and so ben bernanke is printing up the difference and the result is rising prices so you know you can think of higher gas prices as simply a tax because the government didn't raise taxes they didn't raise income taxes or stay or all taxes they decided to run a deficit and have to spend monetize it the way we pay for it is higher prices because of stead of taking our money big government is taking our purchasing power and the result is that gas prices go up food prices go up so all these prices are rising because brock obama is spending so much money and running these huge deficits so rather than i you know commissioning a study he just look in the mirror and find the cause and if you really feels the pain of the average american as he pretends he does because of the pump he cut government spending he shut off the spigot right now but this is how we're paying for government we're paying for it i would four dollars gasoline pretty soon it'll be five dollars six dollars ten dollars there is no end in sight as long as the

there's so much people know about you. they know so much. there's a firm in arkansas, it actually has this four-acre server farm. and you can pay them, and can they'll tell you so much about yourself, they'll even tell you if you're right or left-handed. they know everything, right they know everything. so what happens and maybe you've noticed this as well, some of the ads that you get on the outskirts of these web pages, they're not totally tailored, but they're kind of tailored. and they stick with you. you could be looking up on kayak which is a travel site, you know, fly to quebec city, right? and then they're like subsequent pages there's little thing about french lessons, you know? [laughter] the kind of thing follows you. you can go from page to page. this is a lucrative business, obviously, for google and facebook and what not. so the good of it, right? wikipedia's amazing. it's fantastic. picture.com is amazing in a lot of ways. but your information and your profile in the mind of advertisers and venn -- vendors becomes very restric

so to speak? >> right, know the no the standards are not being met and we know that. when you can have npr make a huge mistake by just getting the wrong information and trying to get it passed, to me that is a sign that we had better slow up. i think a lot of people are beginning to get that, at least a little bit. we really take gossip as news. i love social media. not that i practice it but i think it is a great thing for people who want to connect with one another and want to be social and want to have friendships that grow. i think you should do that but you shouldn't call it journalism. i think that -- i don't say you have to maybe go as far as i did when i started. if i came up with a new bit of information, i had to come to my desk and say guess i have checked resources for this. i don't even know people know about two sources now. much of the stuff gets on the air by hearsay. now, we are at a point where we are going to have to, and we are getting into these troubled times of the republica
