i had never held political office. i had no name recognition. that is not a recipe for success, i just want to tell you. but yet, as we look at that, some patrick henry students came -- josh, you were talking about being involved in politics, while they came to north carolina and knocked on doors. in fact, i had one guy that had walked up this unbelievably steep, steep climb, got to the door. and the guy says come i don't know where you are from, but if you made it to my door walking up here, i will vote for whomever you tell me to vote for! that is the kind of tenacity that has become the norm with patrick henry college graduates. so i say that, there were 11 people running for the seat, i was called to run. . i did not like to be out in front of people, in fact, i got nervous. i knew that god was calling me. i called my wife and said, i am going to run for office. i got physically ill, had to pull over to the side of the road and throw up. but, when we are called to do something, even if we do not know the future, it is the right place to be, g

i had had the same and what a shock i was still a bit well and the hague. or .the whole movement the whole was a given what i what i should ask for what i see what are. exactly. examining mandatory sentencing in the us if the state of florida requires the rest of my life in here as a tradeoff for my family's life to bargain i'll do it if the defendant goes to trial the judge has no option but to give the mandatory minimum they were complying with this judge gives you five years and this judge gives you twenty years so the legislature acted to make a difference exploring the dark side of american justice system with job on al-jazeera. we know the culture we know the problems that affect this part of the world very very well and that is something that we're trying to take to the rest of the world we have gone to places and reported on a story that it might take an international networks months to be able to do with united nations peacekeepers out there to know if i'm tired and old. we are challenging the forces we're challenging companies we're going to places whe

that is what i had been. george bush, i know, put in a good word for me. the second tragedy struck after i had been at the commerce for six months. the second tragedy that changed my life. that was jerry ford's delegate hunter in his campaign for the nomination against ronald reagan was killed in an automobile accident. they needed a new delegate out there. i didn't know anything about delegate hunting. i found out about it. david: to remind people, in 1976, gerald ford was president but he had never been elected, he was going to run for reelection and his main opponent was ronald reagan. it came down to a very tight convention. your job was to get the delegates for president ford. how did it go? james: that was the last truly contested national convention of either major political party. in this country. it went down to the last ballot. it was very tight. we were chasing a very small pool of uncommitted delegates, reagan was very strong, he almost knocked off an incumbent president. but, we were able to prevail. we used the full resources of the white hou

i had originally wanted to go into the military and go to west point or annapolis but i had polio when i was a teenager and that left me with a gimpy leg. they wouldn't let me in the military. maybe the foreign service was something to substitute for it and get me out seeing the world and having some adventure. >> how about you? where are you from? what was your life growing like? tuy-cam: came from hanoi. i came from the central part of vietnam, it used to be the capital of vietnam. what was your family doing? were they working? >> tuy-cam: my father was working for the government. my mother took care of all us. were you in school? >> tuy-cam: yes, i was in school, the school for girls. donghokn. to do know what you wanted to do with your life? >> where you still learning at the time? of the vietnam war? tuy-cam: during the time of the vietnam war, i was still working for the u.s. government. we will get back to that in a >> minute. i want to talk about the escalation of vietnam. in the early 1960's, what were your opinions of the vietnam war as it began? james: well, we didn't know m

come and i missed out on the best come in my mission. haven't had a comment i just thought i had to look this up it might have to smother her tomorrow i've got a capital thing and so if toby i just my motto that i'm going to go and i don't have a dog. that i have. to get in on that but i doubt it so while it. might is a good name but if another human. being and most of the. person and one that has a bit to queen tell him that action can make. so bad if and nor they are tough. but if i don't know convicted i've been mentally. he is a liar gandhi and be a bit must be an attorney bennett but if nobody. at all. or bodies to be out of body and no name has. been minted and we yet been done he. can bust out of. p. my rational mind and it can i would have it actually like my health and if you can i would never hit a guy but a healthy there will you take a shot at the put on your behalf. kiffin was there to do was little fernand to look here. hate that. he might if this were some guitars if. no one had to believe. most of us. you name them after you had a. l

a story to tell or i had -- i thought i had a voice that would lend itself to a bigger narrative. so i wanted to give that a try and this seemed like the right opportunity um i had so much rolling around in my head about those incidents to the point where before i started write being it. between the time i went back to afghanistan and all the moments chronicled in the book, between that time and the time i actually put my ass in the their write i fled a perpetual loop of reliving the moments over and over again to the debt transport of the present i had hat -- detriment of the present i had at that time. i hadn't -- wasn't the concept of book that i was thinking about. just couldn't let that stuff go, so i thought i'll write about it. and maybe that will help me be more present on a day-to-day basis, and it does a little bit. [inaudible question] >> that was the intent and i mention this in the intro about how i thought the book would be a remedy it and wasn't. not just a matter of writing a book and telling at the story but you have to allow yourself not dwell and that takes a cer

they had some problems with those. when i was going through advanced infantry training, they had colt on the -- they had a colt representative on the firing range every day. they had a problem where the rifle would jam. we spent basically a whole week citing the weapon in. with the m-16, it is not only long distance firing, you also do close automatic fire. you had the switch to go from safe, semi, auto. you could empty a magazine and a couple seconds, 20 rounds. they are having trouble. of course you are citing your weapon to get the long distance firing down and you get out to the range the day of qualifying. i had just finished my long distance firing and it looked like i was doing pretty good. just right at the end, the last couple rounds, the bolt hung up. i flagged down the range. the range officer. he came over and knew right away what happened. he motioned for cole to come in and take a look at it. they carried it as long as they could all the way down to the end of the firing line there. that is the last i saw that r

i had a thick accent, i needed to talk like pbs and c-span. let's talk white and stock black, so i like hip-hop, pbs, that was passing for trump era, and publicly -- i want to be as public about it as i can. >> you came out as undocumented. >> as though that era and this era, donald trump is the culmination of everything we have done wrong on immigration since the clinton years. this is a bipartisan mess. i thought i was going to do a book about cycles of bad policy and immigration reform. i was going to do that and anybody else could do that. i had a lot of journalist friends who could write cover stories so the book is about psychological homelessness. what does it mean to not have a home and what does it mean to live a life, lying, passing, hiding, what is the psychological toll for that and you are talking to someone who has resources and needs and if i struggle with it, people don't have resources. >> how do we get from a 16-year-old riding his bike to the dmv to becoming a pulitzer prize winning reporter for the washington post, what is

that was widely seen i don't know what was said i had thought about the. battle to get you one i'm serious and i'm about to flip it's linked at my house as i would elation ships linked to a specific timing which is not. my basic one had. in fan and not before telly talk about that thing which man i don't know so it was a bit of. a job was kind of a had predicated must mean had the stock of one can. be done them i just never heard of the. one i should probably. the ten to be able. to leave it on the. wall but click on. the d.c. sniper then i mean f.e.m. of i mean everything. dictator has was in good enough as in the way. if you are a lot better off you have a lot to know which one you sort of question that i. make a lot of them look. bad and well because of. i don't think if you can come out. and ok. not that. i would think that that should be see it ok you phone and love and you have twenty years and by then i have put enough. to have a thought i had that i find i can love so much. to define love put it now and. nobody nobody from the job was it. but no. i

i had enough context because of my job with lodge. i knew who to call and i was able to arrange to go right back to vietnam. for fourt in the u.s. or five weeks. then i went right back. time, she was back in denying. i want to go back to ichor. open.was no job they needed someone in the northernmost province. it was an antecedent, predecessor to the province reconstruction teams. it was a civil military organization. it had been put together in 1967. there were many efforts to bring about better civil military coordination. finally, lyndon johnson personally took matters in hand. that's what it took to make the and the civilian agencies to work together for a effort by personal the president of united states. he assigned a senior guide to be his person for establishing it. he became known as low torch bob. -- blowtorch bob. he brought the reluctant organizations involved in the counterinsurgency together and created this really unified organization. that had neverg been done before. and hasn't been done very well sense. a pale comparis

in sin i would accept he had been a sofa and where had the deed and i was at that if there was one hada war because in the us is in the clear command that i look other way and then the little man in my house got to one of the. bottom and i was always in. saudi have been abandoned. and then how you can ya think the scum off the head of if i'm heartless that. they had to have that ready to head back. in february county kansas city but what i mean by chemistry meant that the emotion that comes back it's as if you have. to find those three together sound the month in which i know the answers and if the kids go. back to buffalo they showed up at the end of. the. low by then get off a boat that a year ago for what it said she did being with us. they did for the. dead so. i went down there and him and. him about. me a minute well no matter about me i'm a coming back to you who don't care less and them up you can move there are a lot to come your armor on i'm a basically what the kids should have done in the detail whatever earlier in the telegram now is the message coming from the airwaves in

and a lot of my -- the bedmates i had on the wards where i was had a lot of illusions. d i didn't have them, which i think was useful. so i knew you had two choices, you could give up or you could just pretend it hadn't happened, or do you everything that you could to. and what i resolved is i would never -- i would try never to let it change my life, or change the direction of my life. the irony is that i'd intended to a psychiatrist, which is about the one -- that and the radiology was about the only thing i could do. and that's what i wanted to do, so i went ahead and did it. brian: in that first year, what did you do to get through that period, anything special? charles: well, i was -- first i spent that year basically in physical therapy, exercising, regaining my strength. and it took a lot of time. that was whole day, eight hours a day, on the mat, training, weightlifting and all of that. and then in the evening i studied. so i -- my day was taken up. brian: so since that time, what's a day like for you it's ? charles: it's like your day except it's a little bit ha

i felt i had as good a chance as anyone else. of achieving it. t this is something i've really got to try and do. i don't want to be 90 looking back and saying i wish i did that. can you give us an idea of what the provisions were? it was tins because we did not have freeze—dried foods in those days. so i had some tins of bully beef, steak, baked beans, peas, beans, carrots, potatoes. take fresh food and hope it lasts. two months will be maximum. eggs greased in vaseline, they last about two months. after that you're on what you've got. tins won't survive in a boat because they'll rust. and then eventually you hear the hissing noise and that's the contents or the gas escaping so you have to treat them. coat them in white paint, take the label off and varnish them to make them last longer. even so i mean towards the end i was getting a lot of tins and every night i'd hear a couple hissing. when you set off, how much of this area was filled with provisions that you needed? well, from there to there was solid. with containers of water, paraffin, patr

or the time that i had time between in bed and i went spoke to back to the same hospital where i had been treating whatever discovered and i met with ophthalmologists and talk to soldiers with sustained eye injuries and met with them and saw what carrot they were receiving. i the personal interest in that so i got to do those stories, as well. it's not all thing and run and gun but very little of that, in fact. even remote combat post longer the time when nothing goes on. you're talking about sports and smoking cigarettes and that's how you get to know people. >> i want to come back to the idea about the puzzle piece in the key will view that your stories there's it troubles me a little bit. >> well, don't you have a navigation to give a bigger picture? this is a war and isn't there a danger that when you're embedded like that in those cable glances appoint one direction. >> that's a good point. typically in my stories this is something i was writing about usa today so not getting into it as deep as i would like to and typically no more than a thousand words so you pick and choose the

what i meant and i seen a key it had been done that i had limited had a mission had. the mom is it hard to know where the love is not that it later to matter. of her what that moment and sent biotic. to land that to a certain time and the man adam is over the measure of how mobile homes i was with frequent moments or how it was michael. was. not what i measured how an unlucky or are there people lend it out if i hadn't have to which i was all over seven a bad measure how about how you start with the head of mom if you will have. an additional. test. was it in you that people are not the bonobos but they're not close but. the bad mother knows the now and. that is was a mom feel there. are always that. she'll handle but asked now. and none of the you know was a head of state of the her pretty or it had the middle called the things imo but give it a bit but if and only be too full to the really. superman what can you tell us of. the women hate me how. them again on this but i'm an author of a normal. and in my in the some of. them that. sort of. letters when. we were. we

and so i was very fortunate that i had lots of samples. ou can go online and look up sample book proposals. and chris, who designs both of our web sites, she also designed marie's web site, i worked with her to design my book proposal. i was like, i want the coolest book proposal anyone has ever seen. [laughter] i want colors, and, you know, i love colors, i love pretty, hand-made looking fonts and stuff. so we worked together to design a book proposal that when you opened it, you were like, whoa. every other book proposal is just a wide pdf. i had pictures of my fans, i had a breakdown of what my -- break down of what my demographics were, i was, like, i will be calling every single person to promote this book. [laughter] i was like here's who i'm friends with. [laughter] and it, you know, i just tried to make it me, and that is what i encourage everybody to do, that when you create work, brand yourself in a way that you feel like is authentic to you so that when somebody opens that e-mail, when somebody gets that card they're like, oh, th

i have had type 1 diabetes since i was 4. growing up with diabetes is tough for any child, at least for a while i felt lucky i didn't have to go through it alone. my mom also has type one diabetes. throughout my childhood our family suffered because of discrimination against people with pre-existing conditions in the days before the affordable care act. during the trip to visit our grandparents in the late 1990's, my mom got sick and had to be ospitalized with diabetes life threatening condition where there is not enough insulin in your body. she risked her life by putting off treatment for days as she was subject to a coverage and only days away from being covered under my dad's insurance plan. when the hospital called to shoesed ur bill, she the money to pay the family property taxes to pay the hospital bills. it saved our family hundreds of dollars, but because of that we were behind on our property taxes for 10 years. my mom ran our household budget, but money was often tight and she was often worried. she suffered from d

then i felt around and my right leg had shrapnel in it. and the lieutenant bandaged me up and asked me if i could walk. he said i really need you to stay. if you can walk, i would like to you stay. you are our most experienced squad leader. see if you can walk. so i stayed. i was really looking forward to the medivac, i tell you. but it wasn't going to happen. >> how much pain was coming out of that? >> uh, it was pretty bad. it was pretty bad at first. but then it subsided a little bit, you know. the adrenaline, i guess, helped it. so, yeah, yeah. i did get the night off. me and another wounded guy, they put us behind the line so to speak in a trench so i got the night off. >> to watch their backs? >> yeah, yeah, yeah, to watch their backs. anyway, so -- >> were you treated the next day or so? >> not until i returned. it was a couple of days, yeah, it was a couple of days. i went in the hospital and the doctors looked at it and started to probe it. then they decided -- the doctors said, you know what? it will cause more damage if i go in a

but i had to cross another desert that i had to start thinking for myself and i had to learn about this world. i was a traveler. i never knew 24 hour electricity. i never knew how the airplane flies. i thought they may have wings. i didn't know how they were flying. i didn't know what human rights was. i remember when i saw on tv when i was in south korea, i could not believe what people talking about. i didn't know i had rights. in many country, i have rights. how different this world is. not only this i had to learn about what a movie theater is, a supermarket, everything. i could talk and walk, but didn't know anything. people were asking me what do you think? i never had the privilege to use my freedom. i didn't have the option of what i was going to wear, what am i going to study. people were asking me what are you doing in the future? what is your favorite color? i didn't know what i wanted to do. i was hoping somebody can tell me, what i should do for my life. and then -- but not only that, i just lost all faith in humanity. i just couldn't trust anybody again. what i believed in

>> i had an old journalism right, theho had it story is not about you. time today media get themselves involved in the story. you cover the story, you cover it accurately, fairly, but the story is not about you. >> our visit to selma, alabama is a book tv exclusive. for seven years, we have traveled to u.s. cities, bringing the book scene to our viewers. you can watch more visits on c-span.org/citiestour. >> next, some of the highlights from g7 summit in canada. supreme court justice sonia sotomayor talking about life on the court. after that, newsmakers as president trump was leaving the white house to attend the g-7 summit in canada he talked to reporters about a number of topics including trade issues, north korea, and his presidential pardoning power. this is about 20 minutes.

i had never wanted to be a single mother. bought into the idea that making good choices around education and career would entitle me to a broader set of options in every part of my life. the world doesn't work that way for black women. in my college the female to male ratio was three-two and even assuming that everyone had hooked up in heterosexual. one third of black girls were automatically going to be left out. when i graduated from howard without having even one way from there it did not honor me that i was one of the 33%. the optimism of my 20s would not let me consider the numbers were not improved over the course of my life. my friends and i did not realize the structural cluster. >> until we were in the thick of things. suffice it to say we thought is all you people do that we had endless time, that are chosen bows would arrive in the are advanced degrees would bring us to a world of men with advanced degrees and earning potential, too. it hasn't worked out that way for a great many of us. in my 30s i became an unwill

i had problems at home. n i met nornise, she started helping me a little bit, like "nia i don't know what you're doing, but your future is more important." she is my strength. it takes a village to help somebody get their diploma. it changes your whole life. narrator: find free adult education classes near you at finishyourdiploma.org >> charles: people ask me, how did you go to walter mondale to fox news? and the answer is simple. i was young once, a long time ago. >> maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but for the rest of your life. [laughter] >> a great place. it is without a doubt the best hour of news on television, any television. >> let's bring in our special expanded panel again. >> my mother would watch itt even if i wasn't on it. that's high praise. the beautiful thing is because news is breaking all the time, we get to be out there early. and you want to be out there early to give an opinion because it can have an extra nudge if it's early. why, it's brit hume. as i live and breathe. >> i don't re

i always had some interest in overseas activities. was one radio inspiration, talking to folks overseas. i originally, really wanted to go to the military and go to west point but i had polio as a teenager and it left me with a gimpy leg so they would not let me into the military. >> how about you? what was your life like growing up? >> i came from hanoi, the capital of vietnam. doing? your family doing? was your >> my father was in for the government and my mother took care of all of us. >> were you in school? yes, a school for all girls. >> did you know what you wanted to do with your life? st learning? >> during the time of the workingwar, i was still for the u.s. government. in the early 60's, what were your opinions of the vietnam war as a group? -- as it grew? >> we do not know much about it. even in the state department, i buted in december of 1962, it was not a big topic. even in the state department. it became so as time went on. out, after a cup of years in the state department in washington, that was my first overseas assign

that's all i had to ask. if i had more words, i probably would have filled that out a little more. it was a natural question to ask for me especially because he's the younger brother had actually gone to high school with my daughter. so they had gone to the same high school. so, you know, i knew -- i didn't know him personally. but i knew his math teacher. he tutored people in math. he was on the wrestling team. it was something we could have done. he really let them down in some way. and i still stand by that question. how could this can have been right there. how could nobody have seen that this could -- anyway before that i got completely -- i will say a certain part of the boston population. this is very much fanned by the right wing sportscaster. and what i've seen now is these older guys are going to go on to vote for trump. so it's that same section. so it's the same sort of population that is so opposed. they were still there -- there is a -- did we do right. was there something else we could have done which is really to me not an inflammatory question. they launched this ca

i had just been sacked on the day of argentina's first match in the world cup. i don't think argentina won three one against korea but if you want to go ahead like any other day i want to work out of the i mean. i was told i'd been dismissed when you go and they were going to give me some money which i was quite happy about it when i bought a round isolating nato personally because of the money. and secondly because i had the month off and could relax and watch the world cup at home without any guilt whatsoever. and that's what i did going to see and. yes i said. again. i was at my uncle's house with my whole family and going off on media would be my dream but the first half was a bruising encounter. and one of the over you know that i remember that i went to have a kick around at half time to calm myself down. because there were just forty five minutes left. in the idea and the fate of argentina was being decided right at that moment on one of the single mino until you see why if we needed to go on from venus all mental so we sat down in front of the t.v. again.

so i called my dad. he had his own business, i figured is daytime, anywhere between 5:00 in the morning and 5:00 in the evening, he is there . i told i would be coming to walter reed, on the itinerary coming in that day. they couldn't figure out if i was going to be there that day. they got in contact with the red cross. the red cross, they were given someone to contact through a representative or senator from pennsylvania, and they got in touch with this person and she looked at this itinerary and she said, well, we have no one on the list named haines that's arriving on christmas day. she said there's a wayne, waynes on there, and they said that's him, and it was. they just had it spelled wrong. they showed up and they were there when i arrived on christmas day. the neatest thing. we followed christmas around the world, kind of, from japan to the u.s., and i was at walter reed and arrived there on the 25th. and i did not get released from there until almost the end of march. at that time, they decided that th

the first ten days i had six gales, it was bad. lost my freshwater, smashed up the steering. eventually that led to me losing the radio. it got knocked over. how scared were you? when a big wave‘s coming towards the boat, it's too late to be scared, you have to deal with it. on one occasion, i saw one coming and i realised i had to get down on one occasion, i saw one coming and i realised i couldn't get down inside the boat where i'd be safe. i was on deck and i'd get washed off, no question. i went up the rigging. let me show you this one because this is all that instance where i climbed up the mast. in fact the artist has put me halfway up the mast. which is true, that's what i did. and this wave broke right over the boat and disappeared so there's me and two masts and no land for 1500 miles any direction and then the boat shook itself and up she popped. the reason why she did not broach is you see that blue line there, that's the warp at the stern, which was stopping her from swinging around in front of the wave — if she had done

i purposed i had a sense of purpose i did i made a trip and i nine hundred sixty five with my father to europe and we went to france and germany and griese and england and we went to the went to italy and to poland which was then a communist country. where we were disinvited. in any way and the government blacked out our trip so there was no mention of it on the news as in fact we went to an orphanage with presents for the orphanage for the orphans and all the orphans were moved there by the government because they didn't want to have any contact with people over the last through word of mouth the knowledge of our presence spread and when we went to the cathedral in krakow. for mass we came out there were two hundred fifty thousand people in the air. in krakow square and many of them had somehow got a hold of these little tiny american flags and waving at us and they were saying they lifted our car literally sang this song called stole a lot which polls only sung to their most popular heroes and leaders and ever been sung by a crowd in the communist era and was very deliberative and

i had no clue. when i came to the us i wasn't used-- i was introduced to gps for the first time and i was like wait a minute here to there is 1 mile and it's like so how many miles i used to walk through the congo. i used to walk to close to 13, 40 miles day and one thing like i still regret like today if i ever like had a chance to go back, i would pick-- i had blue underwear that i used to wear. it was my only blue underwear that i had because i didn't have the money to afford underwear and i loved the underwear so much. i used to walk to class in my underwear, get out of class, walk for a pickup-- i mean, to basketball practice with the same underwear. practice in the same underwear. walk to my pickup game in the same underwear. play pickup with the same underwear and then walk home with the same underwear for six months. after so long my blue underwear wasn't anymore. [laughter] if you got to wash it and hang it and get it the next day and after so long my blue-- beautiful blue underwear has hole

i had to really opt in. and i will be honest. i had conversations with really dynamic women, aren't you seeing what i am seeing? i will help you. that so many were, no, it is not a good time for my family, so i knew that somebody had to do something. i feel like 2017 was a year of women, in particular, but americans really stepping forward and doing what they did not do before. a lot of people made their first phone call to their elected representatives. they had never written a letter women, in particular, but or sent an email. i had never run before, and this is what i could do. so women, in turn, were my foundation for the campaign. financial contributions, the largest came from women, both in the size and the volume. women were the largest source of volunteer support, and they really gave our campaign all of the energy that we needed, and so women have been like our rock in this, and i do not take it for granted. amy: how to go about fundraising? or sent an email. fundraising is a big component of it. this is where you go to

i had great support team. i just think making a really involved book proposal, i am very long-winded. i wrote a lot and was able to use that. >> once you got started with the writing process, what did you have it in the back of your mind that the internet would be every single word -- some of those stories, running that by her. >> i posted the text on her instagram story, very proud of you, there was some language i would t have used and there were some unknowns revealed. what if she didn't answer? look. >> i am so worried about it i couldn't sleepast nit. especially because the person dragging. and somebody could latch onto this. and i am the worst. i kept reminding myself the title of the book is so ironic, people are upset about the story, that escalated quickly, don't you think? an audiobook like i was going to use with the promo. like taylor swift on twitter and your book is the flop, thank you for promoting the book. i do worry about it. i know the purpose of writing this book. my most embarrassing storie

they had some problems with those. when i was going through advanced infantry training, they had colt representative on the firing range every day. because there are having problems with the rifle, it would jam. we spent basically a whole week citing the weapon in. because, with the m-16, it is not only long distance firing, you also do close automatic fire, where you knock down targets because you will be using both. it gives you the possibility, you had to select the switch to go from safe, semi, auto. and then full auto. you could empty a magazine and a and a couple of seconds, 20 rounds. they are having trouble. of course you are citing your weapon to get the long distance firing down. and you get out to the range on the day of qualifying, -- i had just finished my long distance firing on the semi-automatic, and it look like i was doing pretty good. right at the end, the last couple of rounds, when i fired the semi-automatic, the bolt hung up. i flagged down the range. -- the range officer. he came over and knew right awa

i don't think i had the presence of mind in the moment. i was so shocked by the explicit demand.im and not react. i got better towards the end of the conversation. in hindsight, i can think of all kinds of things i could to do better in the conversation. that's all i could do in the moment. since then, you've written, "it is wrong to stand idly by or to stay silent when you know better." do you feel you let yourself down? not in general, in that conversation, because i ended up interrupting him to give him a bit of a tutorial on how it should be, but in the moment, if i were more experienced, i might have said, "mr president, you can't do that." again, another crucial encounter, i believe, correct me if i'm wrong, but this one was the dinner inside the white house when donald trump raised the case of michael flynn. valentine's day, in the oval office. he expressed the hope that you could, quote, "let it go." do you believe, in retrospect, that that was the president, in essence, performing an act that amounted to obstruction ofjustice? i don't know whether it add up to legal obst

amy: i had reason to think hard about what that word means. rt of the reason i have become infamous, in my small way, is i published an op-ed about so-called bourgeois values. my understanding of bourgeois values is a set of presets or habits are guidelines that middle-class people in the west, especially in the anglo sphere, have developed as an ethos and set of practices which is suited to democratic capitalism. one can make a list of the bourgeois virtues and values. i feel that my family was very self-consciously invested in those values. they were adherents, i guess you would say, including being hard-working, being law-abiding, trustworthiness, frugality, honesty, punctuality, restraint, prudence, all of these good things that make for a flourishing within a particular context, which is ours. brian: when you talk about your parents, where did they come from or your family? amy: they came from eastern europe. they were immigrants during the first part of the 20th century, part of that wave of jewish immigration from russia and eastern euro

i failed at that. we had a toxic relationship but initially when i was at the "wall street journal" and the kid reporter, i did have friendships with these people that we traveled all over the country together with. then it was a change from 2016 within her age traveled on the same bus as the press so it's hard not to establish some friendships. >> can you talk a little bit about how her 2008 campaign, like, her relationship with the press versus 2016 campaign? >> i think she is a very candidate in 2008 but she had a better campaign 2016. when she ran for president in 2008 should been a new york senator and she was involved and always in touch with her upstate constituents and factory towns. i think she is connected to the problems before having particularly in places like pennsylvania and indiana. but the other aspect of her in 2008 was as a sin to give a press around. she had the new york press corps so is like these tablet guys and they became her traveling press. i joined with them but they been covering

instead their gaze is averted only grow to the sultan claiming i had sealed a secret pact with the sultan's enemies in the eyes of the porter i was guilty of high treason. the sultan welcomed the opportunity to deal with me he had long mistrusted my policies now he had a pretext for high treason they could be only one punishment. the thing. long long after my death the people of my life yeah i was still singing a ballad klingon am romanesque we people of romania. the ballad imagines the words i would have spoken to the two kinds of casinos who betrayed me if it was to rule that you desired why did you not tell me. not i would have granted your request. and you would have ruled in. it's been a long time since name that has had several smash hits thoughts i sometimes felt style music as cycles. timeless and for me now has a. name on it's whole song. puppets. their hands off. more and more people are falling under the spell of colorful slime millions of women videos prove you can do that on television. they decided to investigate this mysterious phenomenon and want to pray together. you're rol
