[laughter] he thought i was david's son. you are in that position to say well you know. i corrected him and i watched them slink out. >> a whole category on this i was on stage with a varied prominent person interviewing him and he kept asking me, as you wrote about your hamilton point. you think i am -- how did you handle that? >> something like this happens. how many of you have had someone walk up to an airport and they are convinced you are some other person? i used to be someone -- phil donahue. i got such great treatment. the show went off the air but i got g

bookstore, and all of the staff here, welcome. thank you very much for coming. we are very excited to have amy chua with us this morning. she's a law professor at yale written and spoken extensively on matters of culture and identity. her new book, political tribes addresses a theme that has become especially topical these days. with many the splintering of america into groups of one sort or another. but seemed to have little interest in uniting or compromising more even trying to get along. one of the founding notions of america of course, was as a democratic system. in which differences of race, ethnicity, religion and so on would be taken up in a shared identity. these days messages that appeal to shared values seem repeatedly trumped by messages intended to exploit narrow group identities. amy argues that in international affairs and domestic dealings, americans have fallen prey to tribalism. abroad we have all too often been blind to it. and at home, we have a debilitating tendency to revert to it. among a number of positive reviews of amy's book, one of the "washington post" quoted quote - compact and insightful, yet ultimately hopeful. hopefu

yale university. please welcome walter shapiro. [applause]. >> while. first first of all, i really want to thank politics and prose which is one of the world's great bookstores. i love independent bookstores. independent bookstores. i particularly love that politics imposes driving. now looking around i don't how many many of you are old enough to remember, the old, old 1950s tv tv show, this is your life. clapmac, will that is a little bit how i feel looking around the room is seen so many old friends. so let me start off by, this book really starts with my father. my father died in 2004 and he and he was a connecticut city planner. a mild-mannered city planner. in suburban connecticut who went to the zoning board meetings in the evening. were talking about a racy upbringing i had. but my father kept talking about his uncle, his uncle freeman. my grandmother's older brother and he kept saying he was a really big and vaudeville, he knew people like sophie tucker, he married a showgirl and ultimately he cheated hitler on a nickel deal. wait a second. we are in a suburban connecticut living room, this makes no sense. it was like my father taking me my father t

i would go into bookstores to buy their t shirts they wouldn't let me in. i applied to yalelism from these guys, these cloistered guys, they have been elites their entire life from the time they stepped into their first ivy league school to the time they graduated from their last ivy league school. it's never enough to go to just one ivy league school. if you're ted cruz, you have to go to princeton, then go to harvard. it just goes on and on. and the populism is so phony. and it really, i think again, willie and me are going to set up this like go fund me website just for acting classing for them. because they're such bad phony ivy league boys. >> remember in the debate when joe biden was asked about where he went to school and he just got so defensive. >> they said -- by the way, not being defensive here, i love alabama, i'm glad i went there, i love florida, i went there. i will say one of the highlights of the campaign when joe biden -- somebody said you'd be the first non-ivy league person to not go to -- to be president if you'd be elected. joe biden got mad. it remind

yale. not the city. but i'm talking about acceptance into the college. the focus is on a bookstore just outside and the language the workers speak. >> a new policy on the books there for hispanic workers that they only the employer only wants his workers, he or she, i'm not sure if it's a man or woman, only wants them to speak english so when you have a customer who comes up to get something at the cafe in this bookstore, you should only be having your conversation in english. now, when you're in the back doing dishes and stuff like that, you can talk whatever language you want but apparently, causing a lot of controversy. a lot of people saying they don't want to go to the bookstore anymore. >> it's the atticus bookstore not too far from yale and the owner is a fellow by the name of charles nagaro and he says, you know, english is helpful to our customers but we also try to help those employees who speak english as a second language by helping them improve their use of english. that's why they said if people come in, let's talk english to them. a number of the yale students and pe
