we knew we would be stronger and .etter if we could overcome it it took real work. -- cynics and critics and critics said if we tried to heal the wound and respect rights of all members of the community that somehow we would go backwards. we had for years a very broken alienating our communities of color, particularly young men of color were singled out. we cannot move forward or heal unless we address it. if we, head on said that we are going to find a way to be safe but to be fair at the same time, i knew that if we brought police and communities together, it would actually make us safer. it would not only make us safer and more harmonious, it would make us safer. new york city is the safest city in america. [applause] mayor de blasio: if you hear the as examples change, everything i told you happened in four years or less. if you hear these examples have changed and say it is a different world or different place, let me remind you of something that will give you a little heart. i just got reelected. i was the first to mccartney elected mayor of new york city since 1985.

doing good work and then, if you could talk about some of your recommend recommendations of how sharia etter understand as muslims, to help keep our outh, our community intact around, you know, an idea of what that is closer to we've kind of experienced throughout islamic history. so one way to conceptualize just ous liberty is to chant this phrase over and over and over, and that is, i am not until you are free. i am not free until you are free. that is true liberation. and so in this context, when i was serving as a minister in hiladelphia, there was an incident where an attorney actually came forward in the paper and said, we need to ban and here's why. it is a security issue, as the panelists were saying, so i came forward to give my said, s on this, and i -- serious is a very trend happening. every december all around the country, it involves criminal kidnapping, of all kinds of so ible things, theft, and on, and there is one trend that's occurring in all of these the , and that is, criminals are all wearing santa claus outfits. santa claus the criminals are outfits. it's the solution i

david: just tell them make .etter shows jeffery: as a company, we were not adding a lot of value.you could see the industry was going through this kind of change. we always did, as a board, strategic reviews of nbc. i think one of our theories in 2010 when we sold it, which that really is true today, we believe that this, the ability to preserve pricing power can only be captured by those people that both own the pipes and the content. we had no interest in owning the pipes. and three, i would say unless you are in an existential way willing to go into digital delivery, you are going to get trumped. now the other point i would make one -- the one i miss completely is the theme park business. a new ride, the mummy, costs $100 million. i missed it completely. it turned out to be maybe the only business in media that has sustainable competitive advantage is the theme park business, because it takes capital. you can build a good spirit of things likele and that. that was the one i got wrong. david: when you go to universal parks now, you can get in for free still? or? jeffrey: maybe.

there is a bias for many years against any western writing in general, no ma etter what the quality. that's the western united states, nothing good literary wise comes out of the west. you can see on this very real level to eisenhower and his staff. he had a friend named doug black. douglas black was the president of doubleday books and would eventually publish ike's me memoirs. he said i know i have this habit of reading westerns continuously. one reason i like doing these programs so much is we get to publicize what we do here as a research library and as an archive. i like to include as many things from our holdings as i can. we have records, for example, in october, 1955, ike was in colorado and had a heart attack and was hospitalized for a time in denver. during that time he read 46 westerns in less than three weeks. and i'll show you the records here in a minute. then the last couple years of his life from late '67 till he died in march of '69 his staff noted the titles of 206 westerns that he read. i might poke a little fun at ike and his staff. he may have read history and bi

commentary magazine etter, "new york post" columnist, and a morgan state professor and msnbc politicalor, and "usa today" washington bureau chief is with us. guys, great to see you. i want to talk about senator cardin. he said it was an act of war for russia to interfere in the election. and he is the ranking member of the senate foreign relations committee. you have to imagine he chooses his words carefully, but when i asked him about whether he wants the president to declare war, he backs off. what's the strategy here? >> i think that's kind of irresponsible rhetoric, and i know this is not a popular thing to say, but if you're saying that russia's interference in our election is an act of war, then we've declared war on hundreds of other countries over the years, because what it is very likely they is behavior that the united states also is engaged in. that doesn't mean there's no reason for the investigation or that the president and his campaign team did not collude with russia, but we have to be careful about words like "act of war." have to be careful about backing up the fraise

chairman, do you have any advice for us, to enable you to do your jobs etter? couple of words? a lot of times i ask that question they say more oversight. which is interesting. any advice for us? ms. svinicki: do i think that the consistent engagement you have with our commission as a committee and then the staffs that support you and the work that you do, it allows the committee staff, i think, because of the consistency of your interest, they are able to have the time to develop the knowledge and expertise on our issues as an agency. benefits us. i know that senators and as a result their staffs are pulled in many different directions on any different day, but i think that the opportunity for your staff to work with us more directly and develop a kind of long-term observation of our agency's achievement and progress and challenges i think is a helpful back and forth engagement that we have. senator carper: gentlemen? mr.baran: i agree. i appreciate that we have had -- that my time on the commission, we have had so many constructive hearings where we go through both management

on november 19, when burnside's campaign was rumbling towards the rappahannock river, he burnside,etter not to suggesting a different policy, but to edwin stanton. it is not denigrate burnside directly, but he implied a different route. ultimately, he is unsuccessful in altering the union plan. he would spend the next two months engineering, not only his own rise, but burnside's fall. time, he wrote at this seemed to have counted on the , mcclellan delay. speaking derisively of mcclellan. they have never failed in their regulations predicting the implication that burnside would fail similarly again. so, those of you manage an organization you have , conversations about the people you work with and manage. we all do. sometimes, we speak uncharitable y of them, perhaps. one of the things i think we have all learned early is that if you are in a position of authority, you may have those conversations and they may be necessary to your organization to have those kind of frank conversations. you do not have them with them with people below you in the organization. you discredit yourself as a

i think it's been a pleasure serving with each of you and getting to know you a little etter. >> good afternoon. i, too, appreciate and applaud both jen and larry for the role they've played, having had to rocess myself in many kinds of organizations in the area of berkeley, california, where everybody thinks they can run their full blown dissertation at a public hearing. [laughter] i was extremely pleased when larry called me and said that senator bernie had asked if i would serve on this. i wasn't expecting anything like that although i campaigned for him. danny glover and i campaigned and other for him places. i consider bernie one of the best people i've ever known. he and dennis kucinich and i used to be called on to talk at many of the eastern universities. d i remember when he was running for governor of vermont he invited me out to campaign with him and representatives of the upi and the ap were in his office the first morning that we were going out to campaign. and the question was, bernie, why would you, a jew from brooklyn who is a socialist invite gus newport, a former bla
