stephen king, welcome to hardtalk. thank you very much. the dramatic nature of events in the uk, we have to start with britain, and then move our perspective to the world as a whole. we have just seen an election that has brought about a hung parliament and a sense that nobody knows really what the government theresa may forms will actually do about brexit and a whole host of other challenges. do you feel a deep sense of incoherence and uncertainty in britain? there is. because the vote brexit was originally 52—48 in favour of leaving the eu. 48 for remain. and for those who wanted to leave, they were really a variety of different views as to what people wanted. some had a nostalgic view of things in the past in the 1950s and 1960s —— some had a nostalgic view of things in the past in the 1950s and 1960s when globalisation was not getting on their way. others said the eu was far too protective. we are better off outside of it to recover productivity. others focused on the issues of migration. that was clearly an issue for many people in th

he just-- he's like-- he's like stephen king. but hillary may have accidentally revealed why she really lost. >> you know, if the election had been on october 27, i'd be your president. and it wasn't. it was on october 28. >> stephen: no, it was on november 8, ma'am. that explains everything.

stephen l carter of yale law school. "civility is part of the etiquette of democracy." it allows for genuine social interaction. it has been said that the true genius of martin luther king jr. was not his ability to argue the an oppressed people, but his ability to inspire those very people to be loving and civil in their dissent. we should treat each other with civility, not because we agree with others but because it is a measure of our respect for human dignity. people,at we owe all including those with whom we have fierce disagreements. our institutions, our culture, our communities cannot be sustained, let alone thrive if civility is eroded. it is an essential democratic virtue.

"not curious jeff." ( laughter ) i think, i think our leaders maybe should take a little interest here. vladimir putin has. in fact, we just learned that russia's attempts to hack the election were far more widespread than we thought, including hacking into voter databases and software systems, in 39 states. that's right, 39. that the mean in 2016, the russians had higher voter turnout that we did.

i really enjoyed how stephen, in his book, weaved in a lot of the people who aren't jfk and king into the book. and they're -- you have to understand that these people are affecting the political actors and, therefore, you -- the interpretation has to come through how they push this person. that person has to sort of be the constant in this case. everything that, say, james farmer did affected -- well, excuse me, not everything that james farmer did affected what jfk was going to do, but when he did step into the story, that was big. so i don't know. i think you have to, you have to hook at the big picture -- look at the big picture, and sometimes you have to encompass it inside this person. two, they're vehicles for the story. john f. kennedy, you can hear his voice. robert kennedy, martin luther king, you can hear their voices. and for someone like me who was born two decades after it, that helps a lot. >> i do think there were a lot of players involved, certainly, in how the civil rights movement played out. but when push came to shove in the end, it came could down to e white hous
