>> i think i was around -- i was around, i was a round -- the teddy bear, i got it at 3:00, but i let him free at that time at the three years old. i let him free. i think i was around five years old that i started to take care of him. first, very important, i was -- [unintelligible] seeing on my grandmother. she had white hair. so i was putting on the the bear a little color that was kind of blue. after that, i do not know why, but i said he has to change. so it was more red, which was a strong color, too. then i try to make it black. that did not work. the texture of the paintings, because i was putting paintings on him, did not go with it. so i had to destroy it and start again. blue, red, start again. all the make up was the makeup of my grandmother. you can see an exhibition a teddy bear. i should say that he is a little nice monster, but it is a little monster anyway. you know, i have some affinity with air. i'd love the air. i love to touch the air. >> i hope you like my hair, because of a drag queen's last night were trying to touch it. [laughter] >> for the moment, i am not y

and i was fascinated with it. i enjoyed the show, but i was only thinking about that, i must say. after that, there was the corset of my grandmother, and at that i have to do it, but it will be a dress. i did attend different dresses. long, shorter, even like a gym suit. i didn't like my souvenir of the one of my grandmother. and it was -- i did it like my souvenir of my grandmother. and it was a lace up. there was a party at the palace, which was a club. she wanted to wear that. she cannot drink because i did it truly like a real corset. laced up all along the back. no drink, because to go to the toilet, what can she do? she could not put it back. [laughter] she would be in little to nothing. [laughter] >> the title of this exhibition is the idea of going from the street to fashion. from looking at things that are in the street and turning them into fashion or is it the other way round. do you in fact look at the street and see immediately things that are already fashion? are you inspired by that? >> i should say that i have, to be honest, i did not see very clearly by what i was

i regret that i was behind them. i saw things in those rooms and led the kings in those rooms that i regret and i regret is gone through this country. i had already come to the epiphany that what i had already done was wrong, the system was wrong, and they came to believe that i had to speak out and talk about it because so much of what was wrong end is wrong is still happening. nobody is doing anything about it. we will hoping to get people angry enough that they go do something hot. tavis: behind getting caught, what is the epiphany behind this feeling of remorse? >> when my scandal started, i was probably at the top of my game. i had the largest single practice in washington. an article came attacking me and my practice. the initial response to that article, it was kind of humorous. it is posted on the firm website, we exchanged leadership had determined that the picture wasn't necessarily -- we thought it would blow over and washington is add. -- a.d.d. tavis: you thought to underscore it because it showed how goo

a culture i realize that was a lot japanese. even though i hadn't grownup in it and i was as american as apple pie in so many ways that i started to learn more about the culture and i thought, i'm more japanese than chinese in many ways. this book gave that to me. that was the greatest gift of the samurai's garden. that and the fact that somehow people kept reading it. it was the book i was worried about and i had sent it to my editor and she called. i'm telling you the gossip stuff now. i think in a way that's more interesting. i was very nervous because i didn't know how she would receive this book. she called and said to me, well, it's very different. [laughter] and then nobody said anything. i didn't say anything and she didn't i didn't know what to say different good or bad so just with quiet. she said, i think this about part of -- she talked to me about story lines. i realized wow, they are going to publish it. and we talked about it as we would talk about a man script that would be accepted. i'm thinking, i can't believe

that's what i began with. it was the first time i said, this character not necessarily has to be asian. none of these characters necessarily have to be asian. i was of mind opposite of what you are saying happened through the book. what happened was the more i started to research when i discovered warner's, ime wantedo write. i was feeling older as a person and wanted to translate that into a book. when i thought i would write about the care taking situation and wanted to write about a mother and daughter and i thought was there an aging disease? where children grow old quickly. by the

to know i was of the only one. i did have a special place. i do not know if you did. [laughter] tavis: i was person, you know. >> this is not what i think when i am writing. it is not about that. again, i think that kids will always come to a book, and if that are uncomfortable, there will put it down. i know that because i had a daughter who was severely our average reader. -- who was a severely average reader. she wanted to read something and had just been published, and i gulped as a parent. i said, "please come to me to talk about it after." should put it back in 10 minutes. she said, "it is boring puzzle that is not what she meant. she meant, "i am not ready to read this." should put it back on the shelf. tavis:, about the father. i know he died when you were younger. >> i was 21. i adored my father. he was the fun parent, the nurturing parent i wanted to be like. he was a dentist. he had a workshop in the basement. he would lift me up and put me on the bench. he was my everything. he was fun and loving. and i

it was a change. when i went to my company, it was a moment where there were more shops and boutiques. so we went with ermez, and it became something that was very funny. we -- one moment i did not even have a collection, which was

i was less cynical. i would have liked to have believed he was innocent. i didn't know anybody, i had never known anybody who had gone to jail. a lot of my friends didn't go to jail. i didn't come from that type of environment. i tended to be one of the ones who believed longer than i should have. i do remember one morning driving in on a summer day in my little blue volkswagen bug into the west parking lot there just outside the west wing. and as i came through the gates, i just noticed people were scurrying around in one direction or another. just an unusual bee hive of activity. i had no idea what was going on. i parked and asked, hey, what's happening here? he said, just watch. just wait. you don't know? >> i said no. he said, just watch. >> okay. so i went into my office and about 10:00, 10:30, the phone rang and somebody said, alex butterfield is testifying this afternoon. why don't you join us? we're going to have a get together and watch it on television together in ken klausen's office. i said fine. so i went over there and walked in and there was

it was a change. when i went to my company, it was a moment where there were more shops and boutiques. so we went with ermez, and it became something that was very funny. we -- one moment i did not even have a collection, which was not scheduled at all. it was not about a contract. there was like 45 persons in my company. so i should do the collection. i thought it was an adventure. i love that adventure. at the beginning of was supposed to be -- [unintelligible] of the established house. for me, it was kind of a challenge. and i loved the idea. i love to do it. also my training, my training was doing this. i do not have my gaultier touch at that time. so then it was like to make jean paul gaultier for ermez. no, sorry, to make ermez through the eyes of jean paul gaultier. i love that. then there was a death. it was seven years after our collaboration. i think it was good to go in, because my life was not with ermez. it was for my own company. so we changed. we pushed. spanish rudes, perfume routes. sounds v

tavis: i was just teasing you. i love the decision. it was so rare. we begin with these timed trials. how close are you to the goal you have to get to do what you need to do? >> we -- i get better every week. i am not super close. my only issue is i have to have enough time. ian forbes said the same thing, i am not sure give enough time. if i started this when you're out, -- we will see. i hope my body can keep in sh ape. tavis: he had a lot of great moments. >> i would give up every gold medal to live that again. tavis: why? moment.a great >> unreel. tavis: could you feel what everyone was feeling at that moment? the energy. >> when he came up, it felt -- like an earthquake. the best thing was when i was in te stands. i said, i was so excited for those guys. i said to this person, this is the most amazing torch lighting ever. she said this is nothing compared to what it felt like when ali with the torch. i cannot be on the outside looking in. i cried for five minutes after it was over. tavis: that is a great story. thanks for sharing. good to have you

i was surprised. s soon as i got over my shock a very profound truth settled upon the which was -- i share this particularly with the guys in the audience. if a woman stocks you all the way to mogadishu, a place with no commercial flights telephones or electricity or running water, you are out of options. if she can find you there she confined you anywhere. i quickly embraced my faith and mary jenifer and took her to afghanistan for our honeymoon. >> which i have not forgiven him. we spent our honeymoon in kabul. >> we got lodged as foreign correspondents travelling around partly by choice and partly by serendipity. we enjoyed going places. we saw the final years of apartheid. we were there when nelson mandela walked out of prison. we saw some terrible wars in africa and somalia and mozambique and angola and we went to pakistan and spend a lot of time and afghanistan. we moved to cyprus and traveled through the arab world. we went to moscow for three years and got to jerusalem. there had been a pattern

i thought that was generous and compassionate healing and perspective, and i thought it was the right perspective. when with you're a president as i learned from nixon and others you're a president of all of the people and you're not a president of your party and you're the president of a large contingency and dynamic and squabbling country, but it was important to be healing and to let nixon -- let him be in pe e peace. i will also tell you a footnote from that. i was back as -- as you can imagine, at this -- at this outdoor ceremony where bob dole spoke and others spoke, and all of the nixon alumni, the white house staff were all in front, and i was with the clinton staff and we were all in black. and this note arrived back to me from one row back to the next saying, and it was from jim cavanaugh, a strong nixon assistant. a wonderful man. and i think he said something to the effect, gergen, if you're still a republican you'd be sitting up front. it was a -- they -- i have to tell you something that i have very fond memories of the nixon alumni because there were many flaws in that

i was surprised. as soon as i got over my shock a very profound truth settled upon the which was -- i share this particularly with the guys in the audience. if a woman stocks you all the way to mogadishu, a place with no commercial flights telephones or electricity or running water, you are out of options. if she can find you there she confined you anywhere. i quickly embraced my faith and mary jenifer and took her to afghanistan for our honeymoon. >> which i have not forgiven him. we spent our honeymoon in kabul. >> we got lodged as foreign correspondents travelling around partly by choice and partly by serendipity. we enjoyed going places. we saw the final years of apartheid. we were there when nelson mandela walked out of prison. we saw some terrible wars in africa and somalia and mozambique and angola and we went to pakistan and spend a lot of time and afghanistan. we moved to cyprus and traveled through the arab world. we went to moscow for three years and got to jerusalem. there had been a patter

stevensville, texas, and when i was down there, i was working on ranches and i decided that i was going to -- i had two dreams in life, one was to be a cowboy, and the other was to be in the military. ives down there doing rodeos, working on the ranches, and i figured why do i need to be? school? i quit college. i kept working as a cowboy for a living traveling around texas on different ranches, and new mexico and colorado, and eventually i figured out, all right, well, i've done this long enough, i have one other dream, so now it's time to do it. >> host: who are scott mcewen and jim? >> guest: scott, he's a lawyer in san diego. he's a man that i met through another former team guy that being around and hearing stories from some of the guys and talking with me, he's the one that approached me and said you need to write a book, and i want to help you do it. he got me in touch with harper collins who ended up wanting to publish this book, and jim is the actual author. he's the man i spent the time with, extended period of period of time -- relaying my story to him, and he recorded it and

i was much younger. i'm dating myself now, but it was 19 -- i guess, '83 -- or '84 when i had first begun my job as a deputy social secretary, and, actually, they came to me 24 hours before, and it was before the chinese state dinner, and it was january, and they said, you know, cathy, we think we'd like you to succeed linda faulkner, and i had been there in the correspondence section and done a lot of events and they thought i was up to speed, so i said i was honored to do this, they said you should run home and get a dress, i knew exactly. i had a basic black full-length dress. we had a sequence of events for the evening. i remember looking at it and thinking how am i going to remember every single one of these moves. of course, it becomes secondhand and you recognize you do the same pattern over and over again, and the house as large as it is, there are so many limited rooms, specifically something as complex as a state dinner, so i remember standing at the top of the stairs, and i was beginning to gre

was real bad. real nasty there. i knew somebody was directly to the right about 20, 30 yards in the creek bed, my other buddies from the machine gun -- another machine gun crew. and that was it. and this was all mine out here. and the rest of the guys are in the rear. which -- and in the jungle. which i didn't see for as long as i was up, an hour or whatever it was. but anyhow, i got everything straight. and i'm trying to get my bearing. and what i want to interject is the fear left, though, as fast as it came. all this fear came down on me i was crying and everything else. then i went back to business, it was all gone. it was like the nicest calm. like that you want to experience. it was like -- it went from like slow motion and stuff to like serenity or something. i don't know how to put it into words. but it's a feeling. >> how did that happen? do you know? >> i don't know. it's like -- i guess you say to yourself, once you bet that out of your system real quick, you say to yourself, well, this is the way it's goin

>> i was relieved. that it was over. thought he would have taken his own troops with timothy was going to resign. -- with him if we was going to resign. hopeful that jerry ford would do that. sad for nixon personally. i really felt it. i knew what a incredibly difficult thing that was for him to do, just to stand there and look at people in shame. how hard that would be for a man that proud. >> did he ever talk about it with you? >> no. what did you see him afterward? >> yes. the first week i was home from prison i got a call from him. i said something negative about kissinger. nixon calls me. it was like old times. we were just chatting away. he was ambulant. he got one secretary of state. we have to support him. i think we should let henry. he was nicely telling me to lay off of henry. i am sure henry called him. not is when he said you're going to go into this religious business. people in business with love to hire a guy like you. i said let me [unintelligible] i will talk to you about it. i did go out and spend thre

therefore, i was not studying. one day my teacher beated me so hard that my palm -- she was using a stick that had a cacti so my hand started bleeding. i still have the scar in my palm. that was the time that my father made a decision to take us back to afghanistan. it was still civil war. the reason my father wanted to take us was to experience what is life like back home so when we return, we are not caught by surprise. so in 1994 when i got home, one day i was walking in an orchard with my cousins. they asked me questions. they said, tell me what does your school look like? how do

not that i recall. it was during clinton presidency, of course, that richard nixon died and i -- and president clinton called me in to talk about the death, and there was a debate inside the white house about whether he should go to the funeral and i came down strong and said you've got to go. it's very important. it could be part of the healing process, and he did. i was -- i was impressed that he did that. >> he said something very important about richard nixon when he was there. where did that paragraph come from? >> well, as you know, when presidents give the speeches all of the words come from the president's so it was bill clinton's speech, and it was -- he said if you'll recall in that speech that we should remember the whole of richard nixon and not just for his flaw, but we should remember the whole of the man. it was something he and i talked about on the plane on the way out, and i was very pleased that he took that view. i thought that was generous and compassionate healing and perspective, and i t

i knew it was where i was supposed to be. so an enormous burden of youth was taken off of me, because i knew i had something that i could do. i instinctively felt it was something i could do. >> rose: same thing with me, same thing, being on stage was just magical, being able to communicate to a larger audience was magical. >> and one evening, a curtain call and a play i was doing, it was my birthday in and the audience was singing happy birthday to me and my daughter was in the wings and i went over to grab her hand to bring her out, i never had seen such fear, she was enraged with it, so you see, lots of people don't want it. >> rose: they want nothing to do with it. >> yes. and there is another -- i learned so many things from writing this book. i didn't know -- they were coming out of my hand so quickly and somebody asked me what is my favorite story? and expecting sort of i would talk about one of the most famous people, but my famous story is about an actor few people remember named cameron mitchell. >> rose: i do. >> an

i was a co-sponsor. and when he didn't return to the united states senate i took up this issue, and i'm proud that we have 12 co-sponsors. i think as a result of today's hearing we're got to get more members who are interested in joining us. the language of the bill is pretty clear. it defines racial profiles. straightforward way. it makes it clear that in the random investigations law enforcement cannot use racial profiles. simple as that. you can't pull someone over because they look a certain way. you have to have solid police evidence as to what you're doing in an investigation. that's the essence of what we're trying to accomplish. we make it clear that the best way to do this is through training. and we want all law enforcement trained. it's not only the police officer. it's all of those who act under the authority of our police need to be trained as to the proper procedures. that's spelled out in our legislation. we also believe that we freed to have the facts and, therefore, there are certain repo

i don't remember what his name was. i think his name was sese. because there was a sergeant sese in the list from charlie company. he's the only one i don't remember who he was. he might have been the one. so i call him up and i told him you're in charge. i'm going to go and find lieutenant jeanette who was a motor platoon lead, see if i can coordinate something. it any enemy really showed up, he had some rounds. i could get him directly instead of going on the phone and wasting all that time. so i went up looking for him. and his people were all sitting down smoking, scratching, lying down, some taking a nap. and i asked him where's lieu tenant gentleman mjeanette, oh,. and that's when i was wounded.l there. and that's when i was wounded. >> ak or m-60? >> i don't know. one of them i thought it was an m-16 because this came from behind. >> but the round didn't stay in your leg? >> no. both went right lithrough. that was the segtd round. second round. while i was lying down, it came up somewhere just -- went in here. i saw the leg go up. and got

i was fighting for my guys. i wanted to make sure every one of those guys came home. >> host: chris kyl writes: the reminder of what we were fighting for caused tears as well as blood and sweat to run freely from all of us. >> host: and then, mr. kyle, in a different chapter you write: >> host: they >> host: glenn in freeland, michigan. you are on with chris kyle, "american sniper." >> caller: thank you, gentlemen. my question for mr. kyle is in the wake of the trayvon martin case and, um, the shooting at the college in oakland last week, i think it was, and a zillion other cases like that, virginia tech and those kind of cases what does he think of this kind of hypergun culture we have in america where, basically, anyone who wants a gun can get one and use it if they like and, specifically, what's his opinion on gun control? thank you very much. >> host: mr. kyle? is -- >> guest: i am 100% behind the second amendment, the right to own and bear arms. i mean, i'm here in texas, and that is a big part of the cultur

i was flying back and i was driving from the airport and i found out -- and that was -- that was a -- was a tuesday and i heard on the radio that elvis presley had died. >> my god! >> isn't that the truth? yes. >> it's shocking to me that you can remember that elvis died that day. even though i vaguely knew it was in the '70s, the fact that you remember your day is even more extraordinary. >> i remember where i ate the night before, i remember what i did that weekend. at one point he was in the show "grease" and the little -- the car during greased lightning went off and into somebody's table. it's like all of a sudden everything starts flooding back for me. >> july the 29th, 1981. >> july 29th, 1981. okay. now you're getting me nervous, you know. july 29th, 1981. that was a wednesday. do you have that? >> it was a wednesday. >> july 29th, 1981. oh, gosh, i don't know if i know the historical thing that happened. >> it doesn't matter. i guess it would only come back to you if it meant something on that particular day. i know what i was doing. i was shooting in soho the movie "dream ho

knew i was in trouble. self, you know, it was inconceivable, enterprise corruption never heard of that charge until i was in court. >> four men accused of stealing bones from corpses and soling them to be used in transplants plead not guilty late today. >> bail has been set for the four defendants with mastromarino's the highest at $1.5 million and passports have also been revoked for fear they are a flight risk. >> the battle lines were drawn today and we expect to fight. >> they were very confident they were going to beat the case and their attorneys repeatedly told us we didn't have a strong case and that we wouldn't be able to prove it. >> he kept telling me everything was going to be fine. that they had no evidence. we felt that he could just blame it on the funeral directors and walk away from this. >> michael pled innocence up until the day i saw something cause in this business, there are no straight lines. only the twists and turns of an unpredictable industry. so the eighty-thousand employees at de

was there a moment? >> i1 years ago, a connection there. and i don't think that i -- a friendship formed that was like the other side of me. we were singing demos together and we were -- had just met and we were singing on the microphone and doing the same licks. it felt like it was meeting somebody that you felt like you had known your whole life. i didn't know i would end up being married to him and there would be a much deeper connection. >> you were really good friends for a long time? >> yes. and i haven't had the best track record in relationships because i tend to jump in so by being friends with somebody for so long before we were a couple, we were friends and we told each other stuff we would never tell anybody that we were dating so we knew a lot about each other so there's that foundation that a lot of people don't get because they skip that part. >> you've had so many years as friends. what's the moment like when suddenly you both realize it's going to be something else? >> i don't know how to des

i thought this was a harsher portrayal than i thought was appropriate. i went to the preview in washington and i remember walking out and bob woodward and i were there walking out together. we compared notes. i think he shared my view, that it had too harsh a view of nixon. he came through as a real drunk there. that's not what i saw. i did know when you got closer in you saw the darker side more clearly. and you saw -- i thought what you saw when you got closer in also was a lot of vulnerability, personality vulnerability and loneliness. i have -- one night i was taking a speech to him over in the residence and you normally went over to the usher's office and asked the usher if you'd take it up to him, if you were late on trying to get a speech in for the next day. the usher said he's waiting for you but he's over at the old executive office building. he's bowling over there. he wants you to take it over to him. i said, fine, i'll be glad to. but i didn't know there was a bowling alley. and he said, yeah, there's a bowling alley in the basement, go here

i was on my way home. so i really was able to just relax and think, "i'm going home. i can worry about normal stuff now, not whether i'm going to t a lletn thhead, or i'm going to be fed, or i'm going to be raped. i can worry about normal stuff." >> hinojosa: what was that rescue like? because you had been waiting, again, for 21 days. you were like, "they're coming, they're coming, they're coming. >> oh, i was a little anxious. i was like, you know, "where is the special forces?" i know they are capable of taking care of this situation. but it was incredible, incredible. the marines came breaking down the door, just like in the movies. and they just handled business. i had the opportunity have dinner a couple of days ago with e general who gave the order for our rescue. didn't call up to get permission from anybody at the top. >> hinojosa: really? >> no, he didn't. he got the information, and he was like, "if i call up, they might want to delay and stuff, and we don't have time for that. let's do it." >> hinojosa: wow. >> yeah, he made an outstanding command decision t

i was restless. i wanted to be a part of a progressive society i was fed up with the communist doctrine. members of the party committee who were kgb. what you have to do, where the west you can go or not to go. i felt i was ready to face the new world. i was 26, for a dancer, i was not a kid. although i did not prepare this decision. it was spontaneous. i was touring in canada. i knew that i would put under stress some members of my family in russia and of course people who made a commitment of my security of me being a good boy and staying with the company. something snapped inside. i thought, now or never, probably. i was alone. i lived alone. tavis: didn't speak english. >> i spoke french. but personal, you know, my mother and my father lived -- they were decent people, especially my mother. my mother was a very simple, wonderful russian. a very talented woman. they sent an occupying force in 1945. to latvia, i was born in 1948 over there. when i left already i felt, early in my 20's i realize how

i was shocked. what was clear to me is there were ten times as many acting for mitt romney or on behalf of mitt romney or around the back door for mitt romney. and you cannot escape the conclusion that he didn't win the nominee because he's just the best candidate. he won it primarily because he blew the others out of the water financially. >> right. but also the demolition derby had blowback on him. the truth is people like adleson freeze who will rally to romney by supporting -- they have so damaged him that he has some of the worst positive poll ratings of a candidate at this stage of a campaign ever. he has negative ratings that are so high. so the same sugar daddies that are now going to try to help him destroy obama really did damage to him when they were working for santorum and gingrich. >> barack obama is not exactly short of cash. for march alone he got $104 million in, overall obama nearly $200 million. romney closing up on $100 million. are these misleading, these figures? >> there's an a
