when i wrote about benjamin franklin i try to keep a distance, i made a real point and i do succeed in this by passing judgment on my characters. i tell my readers in my book about franklin roosevelt. i tell you he is a great president, but great in the specific sense of having a great effect on the world around him. i won't tell you whether i think he is a good president or a bad president. i won't tell you whether i think the new deal was a good deal or a bad deal. i leave that for readers to decide. i lay out the reaction and justification for it and leave the readers to draw their own conclusions. i don't think all historians do it this way. most successful don't do it this way. i asked david mccullough, would he write about somebody he doesn't like or write? he said, why would i do that. a lot of people go to histories or biographyes to be able to cheer somebody. it is a lot easier, the rule of thumb, that broadway musical, work. if people come out of the theater whistling, then it worked. well, sort of the same way. for some reason i don't like to do that. i want readers to form

the migrants that came from europe they were mistreated when they first arrived benjamin franklin song said we've got to stop the german ideation of the united states these people want to be dramatic going to have a german flag german customs so familiar that was ben franklin with the most people here he's a hero he's on your hundred dollar bill and i don't believe the people that are here are here to work they're healthy people they're not here to use the system so the benefits remember that undocumented people don't want everybody going to they're not here for the benefits of going to there are going to use all your aiding and abetting to put in the water out there i tell people nobody's going to go for the border coming here to work remember that the undocumented community is going to be billions to this country billions of the surplus those billions contribute to the health of this country house institutions economic institutions education institutions so it's easy to say oh that particular hospital that particular location was closed it was closed because yes we do need a new heal

that doesn't sound like a good trade off in fact one of the founding fathers of this country benjamin franklin once said he's sacrifices liberty for security deserve neither but let's get back to what actually passed the first piece of legislation was now get ready for this doozy united in strengthening america by providing appropriate tools required to intercept and obstruct terrorism act of two thousand and one then updated in two thousand and six better known as the usa patriot act and man orwell would be rolling in his grave if you can see the double speak coming from the establishment on this one because you see the patriot act is probably one of the most unpatriotic pieces of legislation ever passed since it overrode so many of our rights namely the first fourth fifth sixth eighth and fourteenth amendments and members of congress only had seven hours to read the three hundred forty five page bill before voting on it. now the patriot act allowed unauthorized searches and seizures massive surveillance and access of all your personal information all under the guise of preventing terrorism a

my favorite parable comes from one of our founding fathers benjamin franklin, who witnessed the first human flight which actually happened to be a hot air balloon, not a fixed-wing aircraft and this was in paris. there was a series of balloon flights human beings lifted off the face of fear for the first time and another spectator at the park there said to franklin, well this is fun but what use could this possibly be? and franklin's retort was, really, what use is a newborn baby? that is a little tough i suppose then that is franklin but he is right of course. what use is a newborn baby? we don't know but many of them turn out to be quite useful so we invest the end them as we should do in science. >> stuart firestein is a professor of neuroscience and chair of the biological science department here at columbia university. this is his book, "ignorance: how it drives science" and there's a web site associated with this book, ignorance.biology.colombia.edu. >> what are you reading this summer? booktv wants to know. >> i am chuck todd with nbc news. i have five books in my queue if you

you know, as benjamin franklin said, it is the end of the republic when people don't have money. ashley: that is a good soundbite that we have from hillary clinton, a good segue for that we met one of the issues that i have been preaching about round the world is collecting taxes in an equitable manner. especially from the elite in every country. it is a fact that around the world elites of every country are making money. and yet they do not contribute to the growth of their own country's. ashley: scott, if it wasn't for the rich, how would they be paid for? >> i guess we are seeing this come forward. but she is ignorant of the fact that the united states has the most progressive income tax program in this country. while the poor people in america have the lowest tax burden of any industrialized country, we are already soaking the rich a little bit more, and it's not going to solve the problems of america. ashley: very quickly, what about the nonpayers issue? >> we need non-fundamental tax perform. the tax code is always protecting the poor. but now we are protecting the middle c
