it was an ugly scene and it was a long time ago. but i'll never forget it because of the look on this boy's face. he was absolutely terrified when they took him down. >> others, as you know, who went to cranbrook with you remember different stories that they say were over the top and maybe even cruel to some students. do you remember it that way? >> no, i don't. i know that comes up during the campaign season. but it's the first time i've heard that. >> the hair cutting story. >> i think that's the only story i've heard of that nature. the pranks that we pulled were designed to be funny and to have fun. i can imagine that now and then things i did in high school are not things that i'd want to become part of a presidential campaign. >> that was decades ago. one incident when romney was a teenager without focus and direction. something he would find later in a very surprising place. ur liv. while energy development comes with some risk, north america's natural gas producers are committed to safely and responsibly providing generation

was. a lot of the walls just disintegrated. the elevator doors blew out and flames shot out. so a few minutes after this happened it was obvious this was something worse than i originally thought it was. >> we have units on the way up now. fire on the 7th floor. >> i worked my way over to what i guess is the main exit stairwell. it was probably in the middle of the building. somewhere in the middle of the tower. and started going down 78 floors. we heard another noise and the building shook again not as much as the first time. that had to be the second plane hitting the other tower. somewhere in the 30s, 30s or 40s first firemen and policemen started camming coming up. i finally made it down to the ground floor. we came outright in front of the plaza which is the area between the two towers where the fountain is. that was horrible. that was the worst scene. there were fires. there was debris falling from the towers. i saw bodies out there. right in front of the window right in front of me

>> i knew he was kind of a con man, he was smart.ew if anybody could pull it off, he would probably be the one to pull it off. >> he said you have been trained in martial arts and you can go into a dangerous environment many can't and protect yourself in environment like that. >> in return, beaumont offered jimmy freedom. first, jimmy would have to exact more than a confession. >> i told him unless we found the body, he would get no credit. no body, you get nothing. >> jimmy was skeptical, he was a drug dealer, not a criminal profiler. he knew this was a mission impossible. he said no. but then fate intervened. jimmy's dad suffered a stroke. weeks later, frail and sickly, he came to visit jimmy. >> my dad was in a wheelchair. this was big jim, the man that was super man to me my whole life. we cried through the window for awhile and he talked. he didn't know about the offer. nobody knew. >> jimmy realized he had a one time only opportunity to fix the mess he made for himself and get out while his dad was still alive. >> as soon as we

he was complicated, but saying all of that he was mysterious. he grew up to be a trial lawyer turned apple orchardist. part of the madening sibling thing was understanding the control freak nature that my brother had. for example, every year he would send me a box of fruit. the fruit he grew in his gorgeous orchards in washington state. the fruit came with the carl tax where you would get 25 telephone calls before the fruit came, such as, fruit is coming next week, are you going to be home? this is said in a texas accent. i would say i don't know. he said you have to be there because they are my pears and precious and have to put them in the refrigerator the minute you come in. i learned to say okay. then the fruit would come and it would be wrapped like a bomb or something, each fruit, each pear. these gorgeous asian pears had sty row foam socks wrapped around them. after the fruit came you'd get a series of phone calls, can i demand a refund from the ups man, are you sure, can you write down what time it came? >> you have been carrying around

there was one moment, actually funny moment where i was by the tense, and i was like the sample i wasng to tie my symbol together and i was by myself and i was in the middle of the fort and there was nobody around and this guy came up and was like a kcal by present you with this clothing. there's nobody around. they don't even know that i am in here. scripted in some regards but i don't know if they had rehearsed it. so i was blown away. it's like i'm an actor, i did it for an audience, and if they become the audience themselves, and that was like the one where i put that together the the was the objective coming umar the participant and the audience member at the same time. we are now faced with friends he was like i killed that were kelt. i was like you did. [laughter] i saw one other hand glove. yes. >> can you talk at all about some of the interpersonal politics or the politics between the groups? that's something we talked about that fascinates me. >> sure. this is a roman by the way. and a professor. that is a great question. a lot of the group's do have very differing opinions

i hadn't heard about that and it was perfect. it was exactly what i was looking for. i can go off and preach about the fact they think so many of us asian american authors and asian authors in general tend to go back and write about our ancestors and write about things in our past not our specific past but may be of of ancestors and mothers and grand mothers. we have been telling their story. i think the generation to come, will be telling stories of living here. it will be different stories. but the oppression of our voices have been for so many, many years, if you think back the first writer who was read in terms of asian american was maxine kingston. i read her in high school and was greatly affected by reading about the woman warrior. before her there were few. there were some but didn't make that economic splash. they were never read in a large way. maxine was the first one we read her in school we knew of her. she was not out there like anny tan was when she wrote the joy luck club. so much of it is timing. it meant all the history and the voices before then had

he was fired. meanwhile, there is an investigation taking place to find out more about the award of these contracts, what money is involved. we do not know where this is all going to end, but there is a spreading -- spreading tentacles of corruption. >> for those who do not know the stories around washington, i want to show a clip of adrian fenty, who was the mayor of washington d.c.. he ran again for mayor in 2010 and lost to vincent gray. here is what the previous mayor looked and sounded like. >> just under 600,000 -- like a lot of other jurisdictions, they -- the city's started to be mismanaged and people fled the city. the district of columbia suffered, but we are on the rebound. there has been a net growth of 30,000 residents. all over this city there is great development happening in downtown, in neighborhoods. as we continue to show the city is having in the right direction, people will continue to move here. our last challenge is, like most cities, making sure we have a world-class school

that was when i was being raised that was the devil weed. there were these kinds of horror films about what one hit on a marijuana weed would do to you but it was so prevalent, so part of the california social scene, even among the old hollywood crowd for example. there were reports that some of the grand dames of hollywood were kind of taken with marijuana. i didn't handle it very well. i didn't get addicted to it. i got out of it after a couple experiments with it. that is as much as i wanted to try but i was interested in doing it. i think there were lots of people that shared my view of that. then you move on with your life. you know, you kind of circle back and say, what's the long haul here? what are we going to do? >> host: who is red brokaw? >> guest: my father was a working-class kid. he was very, he had a very troubled childhood. he came from a large, hard scrabble family. they ran a little railroading hotel in bristol, south dakota in the north prairie. conditions were very harsh. dad was last of 10 children. his mother died when

who was this man servant? what was his life about? it all began with the seeds and the particular questions, as simple as that. although, then, i had to answer them. what i had done is i usual low don't work with an out line. a lot of writers do they will out line what will happen and sometimes they have to because like if you are writing a mystery you need to write out the plot. i write about characters the characters drive the story. when that hatched i sat down and said, what happens is, a, he arrived and gets off the train what's going to happen. >> i know z, he would get on the train and leave at the evented book. i didn't know the alphabet in between. i was nervous and i took one step at a time very japanese like. i began to study and read everything i could find on the japanese culture. the incredible thing was not having everything that went into it and it still became a quiet book. there is a tsunami. there's tv and lep easier and a fire. i call it my zen book i think it's because as i was learning about the japanese culture,

i was also speaking social society, which was what was going on in society. me, to my grandmother, i was like feeling. too close to say something indefinitely. yes, why did i do the men like that? because i work around it sex. i saw that what was showing, it was the men in this world where the woman was strong. then have to be equal of the men. and i wanted to show it. there was some interest in like a blazer, a jacket, double- breasted. you have the men's jacket with the inside pocket. it is a pocket for the wallet. the women did not have that. why? because the men pay at the restaurant. but can the woman they, too? i think there was a lot of stupid things -- not stupid, but the things that were intelligent but one time that changed and was changing. and the vision of the woman about the man was changing, too. some men were not accepting their femininity. does not mean that they were gay or whatever, no. it just means that men can be sensible, but they have been traumatized by their education that wanted to make them as a john wayne, you know? apparently. it

this was his chakra. this was march 4th, 1933. he made the statement and he made it, i didn't understand a long time. the point i was making, people were terrified. because it seemed like the economy had no bottom and the banks were going down and there was no federal deposit dollars. so imagine a time when we actually had a president who told us we should be courageous rather than trafficked in fear. to his own advantage. there's been a long war on the new deal. it was when roosevelt got started. almost immediately, the more than great realized the lengths he was willing to go. at the beginning, roosevelt didn't understand how far he was going to go. the dupont family and the ones that set up the american liberty league. that was successful because they have unlimited amounts of money. there were so popular, they were not able to stop it. they began to finance right-wing think tanks. they have been successful to the university of chicago economics department and notable fraud such as milton freed man. the idea of neoliberalism is

we know what was happening in iran at the time was that the revolution was in some trouble because of their iraq war having not gone at all well. and he was essentially loong for a way to rally the troops and it was my bad luck to be khomeini's last stand. >> rose: they visited him on the death when when he was very ill. >> and they told there was a book against islam. he was a shrewd and wily old man and saw this was something he could use to his advantage and did. i've often thought that if the book had been published a year later or he had passed away six months earlier we wouldn't be having this conversation. there would have been no need to write this book. >> rose: there's the idea of hiding which bothers you in retrospect. the idea of, in a sense, signing some kind of apology bothers you. what else. >> well, i mean just the loss of ten years of my life. not being able to kick a football in the park with my son kind of thing. but i also felt i learned a lot about myself and that's a gain, if you like. >> rose: what did you learn? >> well, after this moment we've just discussed,

clutch cargo was a cartoon that was on in those days. it was permanent. but this was was a stonefaced on a piece of paper with a cutout that has someone in the background. that is the way that we see clutch cargo topic. that is what johnson reminded me of because of his very stonefaced and, in retrospect, i now know that it was very important to johnson to not look like what he called a country backwoodsman. he wanted to look like a president. he was this very stylish figure, almost like grover cleveland. one of the fascinating things about history is that you can get behind what was the faÇade, and find a president in three dimension that people didn't know well at the time. there is no better way of doing not then these lbj tapes. because it's almost like night and day. >> host: okay. >> guest: he is incapable of saying anything in an uninteresting life. if romney can't find his rear and with both hands. he doesn't know how to pour urine out of the blue. this kind of stuff. everything he says is fascinating. but in terms of history, you are able to writ

in the senate, it was closer. it was 19-13.put it another way, if three votes changed in the senate, the senate would not be able to pass a war bill, and the senate debated it for nearly two weeks, and it was touch and go. nobody really knew what the outcome was going to be. that reflected all sorts of misgivings about the war, some of it was sheer doubt about whether it was expent -- expent and wise for the united states to go against britain with a fairly sizable army whereas the united states has neither a sizable army or navy. >> host: did they have a standing army at that point? >> guest: you had a small army, but on paper, it was supposed to have 10,000 men, and officers in the ranks. on the eve of the war, it's a little more than half that. the other political party, the federalists, they were bitterly opposed to war. federalists voted for the war. >> host: who was the federalists at the time? >> guest: they were confined to the new england states, but some of the more prominent federalists was james ashton, rufus king.

he saw he was holding his right hand in was dripping with blood. he also observed there was blood all of the sidewalk in front of the victim's house. he rendered first aid and so stayed with the victim. officers chased of fillmore, kevin i sent and sergeant mary gray responded to the scene as back of units. elderly male victim told responded officers that his son had stabbed him, and that he was somewhere inside of the house at 636 funston avenue. he said his son was suffering from mental issues. officers quickly determined there were other family members inside the house with the suspect. officers knew there could be for their victims of they did not act immediately. officer fillmore and sergeant grey enter the residence and started walking up the stairs while announcing san francisco police department. officers could see the carpeted stairs and walls inside the house were covered in blood. at the top of the stairs was always there ran perpendicular to the stairs. there was still no signs of the suspect or family members. officers made the decisio

it was iraq. it was a contentious issue. you spend a lot of time writing about this in the book and you reintegrate your thoughts that it was not a legitimate war. you write, it's 9/11 changed the world, the consequences of the iraq war were the similarly dramatic magnitude. why do you say that >> guest: i say that because the iraq war really left with the international community and i'm not just talking about the u.n. i'm talking about the impact on communities and groups in the middle east. and beyond. and the sense that the world has been broken in to groups and some were being targeted or profiles who felt very strongly about this, and this is about a war on which they the international community was divided. not approve it and i've personally believed we should have give the inspectors the weapons inspectors more time to do their work in iraq and come back with a report to the security counsel but the counsel had that won saddam hussein, that if you do not [inaudible] there would be serious consequences to determine the

at first i was crying because i was scared. i thought i bit off more than i can chew and i can't do this. but then i started crying because either that broke my heart were they made my heart soar. it was either one or the other. they do that to you. but i thought okay, i wanted to write the book to tell the story of the rest of it and also to talk about what i saw and spam issues. it's not a book that preachers, but it listens to people in the book and i kept very good records and the journal. issa video, my lesson plans. so i'm pretty close to what really happened and we discussed a lot of the issues in the book. a lot has changed, though since i was here in two years. i was the commencement speaker that was so cool. but she is, call the philadelphia schools are dealing with budget cuts. i know she mentioned a fundraiser he did. she did a teacher verse student talent show, which was great. the reason that it worked was because they have laid off one of the school nurses because of budget cuts. don't get me wrong, it's bad enou

he was libyan and he was like the renaissance man in al-qaeda. he was a religious scholar. he could issue fatwas. he was a good tactician and propagandaist and when lost him there were car bombs et cetera in libya. now, fast forward and you can understand what happened. >> judge jeanine: and wasn't there indeed, general, a call as a result of his death i believe by the predator drone that there was a call to kill the crusader? >> the night before i'm ayman al-zwahiri said his blood is calling to you with what are you you going to do to avenge your brother and kill the crusader and next day is when it all broke loose. >> do you think the administration not even commenting on the fact there was a 42 minute video or a call to libyans to i a tack the americans and attack the infidel and atrack the crusaders isn't their failure to even reference that and instead reference a video on youtube as the reason, what were they thinking? >> i think it may be that they just didn't put two and two together which is unforgivable frankly and four people and do great seals died as a conseque

>> it was stamped in my dna. i was so lucky, cynthia. earlier we were talking about our shared mexican history. in my house, first of all i came from a house in san antonio, south texas of big opinions. my father was a kind of district attorney without portfolio. other jewish fathers play golf. >> this is a jewish district attorney. >> originally from mexico. his whole passion in life is corruption. the family own add discount store. that wasn't where his heart would you say. he was running this family business and his heart was exposing theing bad guy. for a reporter it became the most fantastic training ground. at dinner my father would talk non stop, the mayor is a crook, the senator is a crook, i am going to get that guy. he would have campaigns, whistle blowers, he had stocking bag stuffers. there was an extrodinary house, lucky house, very grateful for all of that who is hilariously funny. he is holder sister, anita brenner was older, worked in the "new york times" in the 1930s. there are many pictures of anita in those family scra

[laughter] you know, when winston churchill was writing, he was asked how he was coming along, and he said,ce i'mst working on the 5th of the projected four volume. [laughter] well, i'm not comparing myselfof to wipe stone church hill, but with regard to the lyndon johnson biography, we're sort of in the same boat. i've been writing about johnson so long people askre me, don't u get bored? the answer is that the very opposite is true. one reason they are not about lyndon johnson, i never had the slightest interest in writing a book just to tell the life of a famous man. from the moment i first thoughte of doingrt books, i thought of i biographies -- i thought of biographies as a way of examining the great forces that shaped the times that they lived in, and particularly political power.he why is political power so important? y political power. why is political power so important? we live in a democracy. we have the power of the votes we cast that ballot boxes and the more we know about political power really works not as it is taught in textbooks and high school and college but to ign

was it deep or hot? >> it was not a complete lassation.e hit the back of her head to have an injury at that location her shoulders would have had to be square with the back of the tub. it is 22 inches wide. she was face down. in fact, she had her left eye bro in contact with the floor of the tub. she was face down and there was no physical way she could have flipped over or bounced over. >> would have to be a flying walenza to do that. i want you to look at the abrasions and contusions that you identified on the front of the body. look at the clavicle. there was deep bruising around under the clavicle with the collarbone? in there were what i would describe as chest muscle hemorrhages, bilateral meaning on both sides. the right-side being greater than the left and that is important because she was as you know a little bit more to her left side so if it was some sort of artifact which has been suggested this would virtually eliminatethy post mortem settling of blood because it was bleeding more on the side that was up than down. >> judge je

he was a stellar scholar annapolis and was a super aviator and his attitude was if you are an enterprise to man it doesn't matter how many years have passed since the war if you look up on soltanieh and he would do everything possible he could the other successor was tom hamilton and some of these die-hard football fans recognize him as the navy's football coach from before the war and tom hamilton had been chosen by the head of the navy avian to oversee the implementation of the physical training regimen for the naval aviators and they had a solid background before he ever turned aboard the ship. i mentioned some of which the petty officers' and there are none in particular that satellite didn't get to know. he passed away several years ago. but his name on the ships roster is b.h. beams. nobody knows what b.h. stands for but he was such a character that was such that b.h. stood for bulk head. [laughter] bulk head beams chabad aboard the ship is the master at arms, and basically that is the chief of police. he is in charge of the security and patrol. on one occasion in 1944, he walked i

i was probably closer to what patrick murphy was doing, and i was 38. i was probably doing what patrick murphy was doing. however, i am not voting for me. i think we need more military guys in political office. if he ran for president i would like volunteer. >> i will put on my thing right now. i will volunteer to work for that guy. >> i don't want you to put out your thing. >> i whipped out my thing. >> can we get a blur up in this piece? >> red eye is a family show. >>> from the powerful ad to a film that looked bad, it is anti-frabbing -- anti--fracking and i speak of promise land where matt damon goes into the small town to get the residents to allow the company to use fracking to get natural gas out of the ground. he runs into trouble and he tries to stop him. watch and puke, watch and pukers. >> this town, this life is dying. you can all see it coming and you just don't get out of the way. we are not fighting for land. we are fighting for people. >> you are a good man, steve. >> we are a $9 billion company. you know what we are capable of. do you?

i was good and i was bad.n criticize. >> you wrote this incredible commencement speech for the year 2000. i want to tell the story of what happened to you after you left harvard. it was a wonderful life template that anyone who is considering the life after college. you see kids after graduating and got a three-week start to the cable show and terrible dump. i bought an old car and the car that isuzu. >> they only manufacture because they thought technically it's not a car. >> it was a hair brush more than a car. terrible car. >> you go to work on a show for a year. you must be thinking i'm a harvard graduate on the show, life is beautiful. >> i would love to pretend that's what i thought. anyone who knows me will never think we are in good shape now. i have never been that. i got that job and as i said in the speech, my writing partner and i lost that job. a lot of series of misvnchls and highs and lows. >> the wilson's house of suede and leather and you are say thing there thinking how about a harvard gradua

i was four months old. she gets herself arrested with me in her arms, and that event was a turning point in the sit-in movement in huntsville, alabama. and within a few months of that event, they had negotiated a nonviolent desegregation of public accommodations in huntsville two full years before the civil rights act, before the water hoses in the birmingham. >> did it help that huntsville had, was an educated city, that it was in northern alabama? did that make any differences? >> what helped, i think, more than anything was that huntsville had tied its fate to the space industry. and there were, you know, westerner von braun was already there, a lot of people, a lot of engineers and scientists had descended on alabama, and the city, um, wanted to dissociate itself from the rabid, racist image of the rest of the state, and that helped them to negotiate this quietly. so, yeah. from the beginning i have memories of -- so my participants were civil -- parents were civil rights activists, and after the civil

most inspiring was not his race or ethisity but the fact that can here was a guy who was a little bitnger and an outsider to his party and the presidency in general. it was a fresh perspective that he would bring. >> one of the keys to obama's appeal was his opposition to the war in iraq. he had spoken out against it early. >> what i do oppose is a dumb war. >> i didn't trust any of the other candidates, on either side of the aisle, who had either supported the iraq war or voted for the iraq war. so it was a big factor in my getting involved and in i think a lot of young people getting involved. >> throughout the fall, obama worked small rooms across iowa and new hampshire, clearly connecting with the mostly white electorate. >> thank you! >> be courageous. >> thank you, i will. thank you. >> you read some of those early speeches and rallies. do you remember the feeling you had in the room hearing barack obama for the first time? >> it was really a physically tangible feeling in the room, of excitement, of inspiration, of hope and possibility for change. and i think that was the sense

he was arrested when he was 16 years old. he was told to lie about his age and say he was 18, so they could be together in jail. and from there his story unfolded. different things were done with him. ultimately, spile -- smiley was helped, but his words haunted me. why did no one speak to me, and why did no one tried to stop me. i began to listen to the stories of the gang members, and my research team at ucla discovered some startling truths. gang members to leave the gangs. they leave the gang for a variety of reasons. they all have a turning point, when they decide to leave. and it changes them. this would be something that any of you would logically imagine. for female gang members, and we did not see many of them on that video, but they are out there. they are not mothers, they are active gang members. female gang members, the turning point came at the birth of a child. for male gang members, the picture is more complex. it may be, surprisingly, it may be because they got their second strike, and they're frightened of g

the older i was getting having not won one i was thinking to myself was it ever going to happen. so i was just very relieved to have finally done it. >> rose: we conclude this evening with bob woodward. his new book is called "the price of politics." >> it hangs over us. i tell you, the average person in the united states doesn't realize if this isn't straightened out in some form and we get a default or we go to the brink again people... the value of their homes, the bank accounts they have, any investment, anything of monetary value is going to be in jeopardy and we are really on the cliff. obama knows it; boehner knows it; the economists know it and we've got a presidential campaign going on and everyone's whistling past it. >> rose: andy murray and bob woodward when we continue. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> rose: andy murray is here, he is the 2012 u.s. open champion. inform a dramatic five-set match last night, he beat the defending champion novak djokovic. tom fordice of the bbc said this "andy murra

>> when i was 20. i think when i was 19. i think i finished the year around 11 or so or something like that. >> rose: what's fascinating about that the this to me is understanding what young kids show in terms of potential so that somehow they emerge and they know you have the stuff to become a great champion. many don't and some do. you and also novak showed that. i mean, you played him when you were 11. what is it you show? you just are better than everybody around you when you're nine, ten, 11? you show potential to move to the next level? >> i think there's different ways of looking at it when you're watching some kids play. py never played with a lot of power. i played with a lot of feel and touch and variety whereas a lot of the guys i was playing with were big guys and i was finding different ways to win against them. someone like novak, he's an incredible athlete. i think when you spot someone like that at a young age you can see that if you can work on their game a bit they can be top top players. >> rose: speed, ha

but he was there speaking for a purpose. his message actually was not -- it was really interesting. the empty chair. all of that seemed to be kind of by design. gwen: it was. but here's the thing -- and i think you're right, this is for the audience in the hall but also supposed to be for the audience outside the hall. there's something about an empty chair and invisible president that reminded me of raffle el ralph ellison. i thought do they mean to say that? i don't think so. anything that happens that overshadows what was supposed to be the big night for the romney, which this certainly did at least in the short term, seems ill advised. >> the person -- it couldn't have come at a worse moment. you have marco rubio waiting in the wings for his big introductory speech. it walked all over what was i think most people think very effective biographical video. and -- gwen: which didn't run in the 10:00 hour when the broadcast -- other than ours was on the air. >> it was just a head-scratcher. that is not what you want the moment before your nominee walks on that stage to accept the nom

most inspiring was not his race or ethnicity, but here the fact that here was a guy who was a little bit younger and an outsider to his party and the presidency in general. it was a fresh perspective that he would bring. >> one of the keys to obama's appeal was his opposition to the war in iraq. he had spoken out against it early. >> what i do oppose is a dumb war. >> i didn't trust any of the other candidates, on either side of the aisle, who had either supported the iraq war or voted for the iraq war. so it was a big factor in my getting involved and in i think a lot of young people getting involved. >> throughout the fall, obama worked small rooms across iowa and new hampshire, clearly connecting with the mostly white electorate. >> thank you! >> be courageous. >> thank you, i will. thank you. >> you read some of those early speeches and rallies. do you remember the feeling you had in the room hearing barack obama for the first time? >> it was really a physically tangible feeling in the room, of excitement, of inspiration, of hope and possibility for change. and i think that was t

that it was there. was. such get off. the top. thirty five. times i am on this story goes without saying that i will always have the team that died in my heart. that. that. goal we must learn to live with this sense of loss we must remember them but carry on without them this is not the end of the world it's the end of one story which was cut short but now we have a chance to start over. a new team has returned to the cage shelf and i hope that we will become champions a gal ashcraft i. the next generation of hockey players has a great example to follow and andre just like every other young boy in jaroslava faces the portraits of his heroes every time he comes to training in spite of the terrible disaster look at motifs club slogan still stands true elohim forever.

it was about what was the best argument against slavery? it was as simple as that.when you grow up under segregation, you take the founding documents and use it as the point to make to others to think that segregation is right. this is our founding document. the nuns ingrained it in us. the declaration and our faith in god are created equal. they didn't have to go to the religious document. they went to the founding document that we are created equal. that was always this thing you kept with you when you were treated badly, when people try to ingrained. you know, i hear people say it affected your self-esteem. it never affect the mind. absolutely no point in my life because from day one we knew we were people. the nuns said so, my grandfather said so and by golly the declaration of independence said so. it may have taken a more, black crow, jim crow laws, but i matter how contradictory that was, it starts there. the new book. that is what got me started again at eeoc to read this great document, to talk about founding. i wasn't going to be a judge. who knows how i b

it was just great. cruising around kathmandu. he was all over the place.lly enjoyed the local setting an the travel aspect of the adventures. that's what these things are. they are adventures, whether it is sailing trip or a climbing trip or something. >> a young journalist i knew in somalia named dan elden who died in somalia was killed, wrote in his journal, his journal entry is called the journey is the destination. i think that's a lot of what you're saying. >> absolutely. i can say it was an adventure. he really enjoyed that. he was a wonderful person to travel with and wonderful skier. his french ski instructor, we never let him down. he's kind of, you know, it's -- it's just funny. great stories of some pretty high fullutent people that were his clients. it was very nice getting to know him. it breaks my heart that i wasn't able to -- i thought for sure he was going to be right there and we were going to be -- not a cynical laugh but going, oh, my gosh, we're alive, dude. >> glen, i'm sorry for what you have been through and your friends that are mi

comedy was something that i stumbled into when i was in college. so i kind of gave up on it and became a really good stuntd. and then accidentally stumbled into the college humor magazine. and it was like falling off a log and discovering what it is i was meant to do. i loved it. i had never valued being funny that much. i thought oh, that's just something i do with my friends. and then suddenly, i saw it has some cachet in the real world. and that these older stundents seem to think i'm funny. so a lot of that changed my outlook on what i could do for a living. >> so you're in harvard, you're doing brilliantly. you're making people laugh. everything is going graelt. let's take a short break. because after the break, it all goes horribly wrong. >> sex change. >> i didn't want to mention it e it first. >> i was a girl. no, i was a boy. 4g lte has the fastest speeds. so let's talk about coverage. based on this chart, who would you choose ? wow. you guys take a minute. verizon, hands down. i'm going to show you guys another chart. pretty obvious. i do

devastated. >> rose: there was a divide. >> there was a divide. let's all be -- we are deeply divided now, but mccarthy was not a great moment. >> and bob cav ran the republican party that was a really conservative party. >> and general eisenhower did not speak out forcefully at the beginning. >> precisely. and my sense of what history tells us is that presidents get two or three shots, basically, and it is in the nature of politics which is not clinical but human and it is messy and difficult and it is always provisional, wow get two or three chances to rise above that particular moment and leave something that we talk about going forward, and with the congress in 1944, it was the gi bill, it was the bush 41 it was iraq and the mission to kuwait, and doing the right thing in terms of the 1990 budget deal, which bill clinton will tell you helped set up the prosperity of 1990s and george herbert walker bush knew when he broke the read my lips pledge at andrews air force base in 1990 he was going to lose the presidency. >> and he knew that. >> you a

that speech was a disaster, and it was wrong.nd what you're saying, gaving president obama credit for his success, he has been successful in following the policies of george bush. >> but i assume he did follow those policies. lawrence, you get the last word because we've got to go to commercial. >> first of all, president obama has been much more active in using the drones than president bush did. he has killed many more al qaeda leaders. and in fact, president bush toward the end said, well, he wasn't worried about just getting one person. president obama when he came in got then-director panetta to focus exactly on going after bin laden and risked his presidency by undertaking a mission, which if it hadn't worked, i'm sure a lot of people would be criticizing him for, including governor romney. >> lawrence korb and michael medved, thank you guys for coming on and debating this tonight. >>> next, new information on the census numbers on poverty in measuring. and the rich are getting richer, but what about the rest? all the detai

he reminded them what it was. it was about health care. it was about jobs.owed the people that didn't believe in change to tell us we didn't get the change they didn't believe in and that they didn't vote for. so, how are they interpreting a change that they never believed in? >> all right. i thought tonight the president also made a real connection with the country. he's been maligned and accused of not being american. he's been accused by the tea partiers and the extremists out there of not even loving the country. i mean, the president tonight, mean, it was from the heart and a level of sincerity and he orchestrated it so well tonight. michelle obama saying he is the same guy you elected four years ago and he's been through a lot and he hasn't changed. the other thing i want to point out the most retweeted line of the night was, made in america. something that the republicans did not have in any of their speeches. this president is amazing. he consumes the room. he doesn't miss anything. and i think that he made a real point tonight talking about manufact

it was -- let's not go into what kind of speech it was. it was very effective for what he had to do with the convention hall. >> you saw the speech and he thought, boy, that old dog can still do it. when i saw him hugging barack obama, i thought, this may be the hug that reelect the president. charles has been on a point twice today. he talked about the empathy gap, how mrs. ronny had a more difficult time warming her husband up and then michelle did. you don't vote for a guy you don't like. >> you are a psychiatrist. here are two tigers in a cage. how to they come together and hug? >> i am a psychiatrist in remission. [laughter] clinton is a wonder of the world. we have this incredible performer. >> who was impeached. >> and here he is. but i thought the speech was an effective in promoting obama. it was all about promoting clinton, and he spoke 50 minutes and was sort of getting into it. he went on these riffs. by the end, half-expected to say, "you know, i have second thoughts." [laughter] "i withdraw the nomination of barack obama and

he was was funny. he said have you seen any stray -- [inaudible] he called cross dresses dejerntd rant. he ordered the patrol not to be in the bar in uniform. standing up to a bar with the butt toms on don't look nice. when he took over the east side. they ordered there would be no loud music. you have to understand characters like tammy and do do gooders like the society charles parkhurst. he went after for not closing brothels. lead to the committee and we heard have heard of these places. there was the grandfather of them all. the final report concluded ever citizens was dominated by an overshadowing dread of the police. new york's finers they had the nickname of being new york's philyest. enter roosevelt on may 61895 after they won another election. the board of police commission and roosevelt was elected. he was dressed as president roosevelt during the period. on the left that's tr main booster. bicycling enthusiast. next to him is the wily lawyer andrew d. parker who fought roosevelt on the righ

and what happened was when it was time to choose a title my editor had a god awful title she felt was the most brilliant title since the grapes of wrath. it was like this long and everything was in it but the kitchen sink. love, samurai, garden and sushi. it was a terrible title and i didn't like it and i didn't know what to say i had never disagreed. that was the first time i disagree. i said i don't want to look at my book case and see that book and cringe in 30 years. she called me from new york and said, i don't know why we are going over the title thing let's keep it the samurai's garden. then i was saying, thank you, god and it became the samurai a garden which in the end worked when you decide hathat samurai is in your class you will see how it works. it works in many, many ways. i'm pleased it stayed the samurai's garden. not of anybody's choice but because it was the one we didn't want to fight over anymore. >> okay. >> [laughter]. >> thank you. i >> i think you wanted something else. >> well, i met the samurai and [laughter] >> thank you. >> thank you, gale so much for comin

mitt was making a funny, or was he? the msnbc host ran the tape and then sat there, mouth a gape. >> when you have a fire in an aircraft there is no place to go exactly. you can't find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft. the windows don't open. it is a real problem. >> it is a real problem that the windows don't roll down on airplanes? is it also a problem guns don't shoot backward from the barrel this way or diving boards are mounted over deep water? why don't the windows roll down? i don't think he was joking because he couldn't be joking about his wife almost being in a plane crash. you can't joke about that especially with her standing there. >> i guess if you shut your eyes when are you pontif pho indicating it makes it all right. >> in other media on media or mom news, it was intended to be satire and paul ryan has given romney the nickname stemp. stench. there was a conversation where he said stuff like, quote, steel stench i am having finger sandwiches and will text him later. a bunch of

remind us roughly what the year was. >> the year was 1965. the moral of this story is never have a younger sister who never throws away a piece of paper. i discovered this letter 4 or 5 months before i finished this book oh my god, a paper trail sets us straight. >> read it to us. >> only people from brooklyn uses the word geez. your letter doesn't have a single worthwhile sentence in it. i will not buy you any notebooks. i repeat no notebooks. but i will send you decals that are not to be placed in my room, around my room or on the window of my car. >> okay. who was this guy? and why did you set out to tell this story? >> this guy was my fantastic, magnet, bossy, difficult, older brother carl. he was the red state to my blue state. all you have to understand to know about how complicated and difficult this relationship was my first memory of my brother was with when he sail me out a window when i was 2 years old and in the san antonio emergency room with a cut on my eye brow. he gave me the gift of a hard head. he went from there to being th

-- i thought it was a genius. >> woodruff: david it was-- i mean, the message was tough. i mean, mark's right. she didn't use the word-- she didn't say the words, "mitt romney" but there was no mistaking who she was talking about. >> i thought it was an excellent speech. no harvard, no princeton. if sometimes people think obama is aloof, a little distant i think you cured that in the speech. to me the genius was the popularrative, it was a story, about the her anxietie anxietier he should run for president and that was the narrative around the whole speech and allowed her to segue into her own personal and into lily ledbetter, health care, bring up all the policies as part of the narrative. >> ifill: a lot more policy in this speech than we saw with ann romney. the line i wrote down when she said, "being president doesn't change who you are. it reveals who you are." it seemed like that was her job tonight to reveal who her husband is. >> it's a variation of the old line about the sports doesn't build character. reveals character. and this nthis case, she's talking about t
