and whenever you hubris and optimism and overconfidence, you've got great stories, and dark stories as well. so yeah. i do love to you. another small thing about that period, actually it's not a small thing, it's actually very important, is that it was also the heyday of the typewriter. very important because you can go nuts reading correspondence. and when it's all in type report, typewriters, it's like having, "devil in the white city," my favorite character, but the men had abysmal handwriting. and i mean come one that was in my office when i was living full-time in seattle and my wife came into the office, i had my head down on the desk with a magnifying glass right next to me. she said, what's wrong? anyway -- >> question right over there. >> i was wanting to talk about the details you included with president wilson and this book and why you decided to include that? >> sure. okay, so president wilson. i really came to uphold the appreciation of president wilson in this book because i considered him a prim and proper, i had no interest in them. but as i was doing my research in the

again, they went out there with this hubris, this is my realm. i am a seamen.of those whales turned on them -- that they began to doubt everything about their place in the world. charlie: this is another look at the whale. here it is. [pounding] >> oh! >> what was that? >> -- >> oh! [grunting] ron: we did not exaggerate. charlie: was that filmed on the sea? ron: a lot of that was filmed on the tank. again, the whale is cgi. that is the size of the whale, that big. charlie: what color was the whale? ron: the whale was not white. there was an albino whale that melville used. there was a skin disorder that older whales can get that makes it look blotchy. it has been fascinating to bring this story to audiences. and i think it is, you know, i think it is something that demands to be seen on the big screen. i think you need to define that as a movie director today. because, there are more and more distractions, more reasons to do other things. and yet, the big screen movie experience is something that can be very memorable. charlie: has robert langdon turned out to

i mean, you can imagine, they went out there with a lot of ego, hu hubris, pride. that was the period of manifest destiny. our job was to conquer the world and everything else should bow to us. here they were confronted with this force of nature and, after the whale sank the ship, in their journal you can see them wondering is this punishment, divine retribution for the life we've lived because whaling, that was slaughter, it was the most brutal kind of mercenary industry you can imagine. >> rose: so on the one hand we have the ship versus the whale. >> okay. >> rose: and on board you have the conflict between pollard, the captain. >> and that is very much out of the filbert's book and his research. pollard, he sort of reflected that, you know, the class system that existed in nantucket at the time, that was a little more european, i suppose, in some ways, and owen chase was more of that jacksonian kind of new american, not from the island, but, you know, expected the respect of all he had achieved and by, all accounts, you know, he was kind of the michael jordan o

a lotst important without of hubris attached to it is the u.s.-russian peace but there is a u.s.-iranian piece and a saudi-iranian peace. that is what diplomacy is all about. laura: what about president bashar al-assad, no mention of him specifically in this resolution. what is to stop him from standing for election in 18 months time? ambassador pickering: it is a long while to 18 months and elections. i would be more concerned about the necessity to start the process. up till recently there was a problem. the syrian opposition did not want to have a situation where a sawed was around when they started talking. the saudis have been helpful in getting over that hump as has the move on the part of the u.s. with the russians. we are in a position where dr. henry kissinger said months ago we would have to have assad in it to guess at the beginning but he had to be out at the end and that is what you heard from president obama today and that is important. laura: the resolution calls for efforts to get a cease-fire. why should islamic state call a cease-fire? investor picking -- picker

we can notice that hubris is s. grant was a short man at man that adored his wife for that alexander hamilton hated drinking because his father was a trunk who took offense left him with his mother or that henry thurow was a favorite teacher and we can include not just the moment as events which happened which is really pushes by the peace people in history books but also the texture of their everyday lives. did their shoes hurt, how were they feeling about themselves that they were they thinking about what they were going to have for dinner that kind of stuff which really takes us there into history. the food, the sex, the clothes in the drinking. in this book by looking looking into drinking in america at the drinking in america and shoving its influence i've tried to bring our heroes and our villains to life on the page. i hope if you read this book you will come to think of john quincy adams as a sad friend who lost two brothers and two sons to talk with them and sympathize with henry kissinger who had the unenv

hubris, arrogance, one step ahead of loss of integrity.you think you're better than other people, you know more, then you're going to think, as many leaders have, that the rules don't apply to them. so they lose their integrity. once you lose your humility, you lose your integrity. >> the book is called good profit. you talk in the book a lot about, how of course you want it make money. not just your company but american companies should want to make money but it is equally important how you make it and with whom. >> the starting point in my philosophy, the starting point, you know, for long-term success is not thinking how i do maximize my profit. it's how do i create the most profit, the most value for others, for my customers and in society. and, and then as you're able to do that, then you can worry about i want to be compensated for all the value i'm creating for others. and that needs to be every -- if a business person wants to be successful over time, that needs to be the attitude. and the attitude through the entire organization.

it strikes me it takes quite a bit of hubris and really arrogance to be claiming that, yes, this is going to be a turning point for the world. as a matter of fact, the "wall street journal" said it pays to be skeptical of a politician who claims to be saving the planet. well, i'm -- i don't share the president's priorities when it comes to climate change because i think there are actually more urgent priorities, things like fighting terrorism, both abroad and here at home. that would be a more urgent. and some of the other, more prozaic without objection that wc that we do here that isimporo to our economy and -- american economy and to our economy -- american people and to our economy and for the jobs, that they can find employment. but once again the president is exaggerating what his authority is under our constitution. of course, the president has no legal authority to bind his successor. what he seems to be saying is, this is an agreement between me and the other 140-some-odd nations. and it won't last beyond its presidency. the last time i checked, the president will be leaving the

he rose to the top in terms of hubris and egomania.e is at the top of the polls in iowa so i think voters are , saying we do not care. saying like are curt andersen said he is the biggest narcissist, you are saying among all of your colleagues in the recount effort that he was the biggest ego? is that what i heard you say? nicolle: he was a contender. these are good republicans who work in the bush administration who say they would have a really hard time voting for ted cruz if he was the republican candidate. john: that is incredible to say. i will say that i think that the one that has the most chance to stick is the notion he is a hypocrite. i think that has a real potential problem for him. coming up, we will talk about ivanka and chelsea and more in the category of family fun, the family circus. when we come back in 60 seconds. ♪ john: we have a little breaking news right now from our friend at the boston globe. he says former new york governor george pataki who has been struggling for the nomination fight is calling his supporter

and when the crash came, realizing that this was hubris, too many things believing that there were no, i can certainly follow the idea that we need humility, realizing that these returns that existed or that we thought existed in the past, are just excesses. tom: the chart for the moment for me, going into tomorrow's meeting with mario draghi, is the great transatlantic distortion. it is a lack of humility. we have this massive distortion right now in the two-year yield space. what does that signal? paul: to me it signals that the u.s. certainly is ahead of the recovery. if anything, that is what it shows. in the u.s., there are signs that the economy is picking up, is going to continue to pick up, while the believes in the eurozone are that this will not happen. that is why these interest rates in all maturities remain extremely low. that is the story that i get out of this picture. and to paul's point, it is all maturities. if you look at the distortion to germany and italy, it seems pretty crazy that they are not that far apart. 30% of the fed acquired gdp insecurities. europe, les
