that or know this is after i met walter. this might have been my second because i realize that our children, especially children who were drawn to your books and my books and other people who write these things, they are doing it because of that great model that -- has given us. it either needs a mirror to help them reflect on their own often, very traumatic experience, or they need a window or a sliding glass door into the experience of other people. >> i think it is you know, one thing i will -- minister to reach out, the beginning when you're talking to your father, or me, it felt like -- such an important part of the novel. because it contextualizes some things. and this is a tough thing to talk about only because the me too movement and times up movement and every the very important movement around sexual violence and women's liberation, there is one thing that i always am trying to unpack for myself. and what that thing is, the poison of manhood, the poison of masculinity is rarely contextualized. right? so what you do

but walter in particular shows a theme, reading is not optional. and we were able to send him during his first year through around the country. at the que visited some new places. louisiana tech book festival which was sponsored by the louisiana center for the book. and i would like you to, perhaps point to a couple of these wonderful experiences that i know you had come not only in places like festivals, but your concern about visiting detention centers and talking to young people in detention centers. >> one of the other qualifications you did not mention is that you have to be very handsome. [laughter] >> distinguished and at least 6 feet four. right. >> i am particularly interested. i wanted to know the reading levels, what they read, what was going on with their venture with books. and for me, i have been in this gamelan time. i have been writing years and years and years. i have seen prisoners that i first saw in grade school and second grade and third grade. you see them 15 years later in maximum-security prisons. to me that is absolute shoc

david: you can do that anytime, walter. walter: you have a question? >> i wanted to follow-up on your comment that you do not want to over focus on stem. and stem of course is well-established, everybody knows what we mean. but there is also now steam. and i wonder if the smithsonian and your emphasis on not over focusing on stem is going to be willing to push the idea of steam, using your considerable persuasive powers to make steam as well fixed in the american psyche as stem. david: it is terrible -- i know quite a bit. it is alright. i am always concerned that we do not portray the artist in the humanities as handmaidens to the sciences. adding something onto stem, if you do not think about it very deeply, one might think, well, it is important have the arts because it order to complete thinking about some scientific thing you have to think about it conceptually or communicatively. there is also this value of i cannot getthat any other way. so i struggle, as silly as it sounds, i struggle with it is a good idea to have steam. i was very privileged

did walter patent his idea? >> that's one of the key things you want to do is patent it. but he did get an estimate that it would cost several thousand dollars more to patent his idea, and after paying more than $10,000 already, walter says he ran out of money, so now he's really focusing on his health. >> it is a great idea. >> maybe someone out there watching, you never know. >> our floor director needed that weeks ago. >> to get in touch with our investigate tore team, send an e-mail to better get baquero. i have a good idea. let's skip winter. >> a lot of people have that idea. we've done it so far, we skipped autumn. let's walk over to the weather wall. beautiful sky shot from top of the rock right now. temperature outside is on the cool side but seasonable, 46 degrees. partly cloudy skies out there, nice evening. let's go to the headlines right now and see what's happening. temps go up, rain comes down. very simply put, the clouds are going to begin to blanket the area overnight and tomorrow they'll grow thicker and more obvious and then the heavy rain comes on thur

walter: no. he lived here in the district of columbia, where one cannot vote for president in political lines. he lived here in the district of columbia, where one cannot vote fo3r president and political lines. he was not a registered democrat because that concept did not exist. i think if you had asked him in 1864, when he spends a great deal of time on the lincoln reelection campaign, are you still democrat, he would say yes. i'm a union loving democrat like andrew johnson, like thousands of other union loving democrats and i would support the union party. lincoln's second presidential campaign was not run as a "republican," it was run as a union party candidate. this would've been stanton's answer in the election of 1868, when he campaigned for grant against the democratic nominee, if he had been asked are you still democrat, he would've said i still believe those things i believed as a democrat but it is far more important to preserve the union and elect grant than to continue the policies o

it did walter.the essence of his persona. he even looked like your favorite uncle, and he remained a generous man in spirit. he did not become just the most famous, i mean the most trusted man in america but he was one of the most famous men in america and yet, he would always have time when i would see him at a broadway opening when people would rush up to him, he would be courteous and funny and an tentative to them. he had lots of friends that were famous, but he had a lot of friends that no one knew, as well. so he was a man who lived life every day, and he came out of the heartland and traveled the world, and remained true to who he was as a journalist and as a human being. and i think that's something that we all have to keep in mind. the idea of becoming famous as a journalist had not occurred to him when he began. that was not his objective. he simply and had to be a reporter and that he became famous and handled it with such grace along the way is a great tribute to him. >> but he was a rep

he knew the funny walter cronkite. the bitterness was directed toward cbs, not just dan rather perry -- dan rather. there is the new regime. he thought he would be able to hang around cbs in the 1980's and 1990's and they did not have a role for him. brokaw said he always had to be the top dog. he is very darwinian. that comes across in my research. with walter cronkite, people only see him as the friendly man, which he was, but there is another side of him that wanted to be the best. he was obsessed with ratings. he is a fierce competitor that i have written about, and that includes presidents and generals. his desire to be the best was very pronounced. >> you talked to a nixon aide chuck colson. what did you learn from him? >> he was very nice. this was before he died in florida. he was a very repentant pro- nixon person. he regrets the nixon tapes, he told me perryhe was embarrassed when i read to him transcripts of white house tapes about walter cronkite. he was the pit bull of richard nixon. colson was on to the i

emily: walter?r: i hope another function will be a remote control that controls the apple tv with new functionality that gives me an alternative to the $120 i am paying directv. that could be another function for the watch and a precursor to new product categories apple can get into. i have also tried the watch. when i first tried it it felt very glitchy. my more recent test of the it was performing flawlessly. some of the criticisms online have been focused on uses of the watch like scrolling through twitter feed that most users i do not think will be using the watch for. there will be ways that people use the watch that are just not thought about today. we are very positive on what the potential is for the watch. emily: if you have not ordered it, you can get it in stores in june. walter and jp, thank you both. up next, a trip to seattle to see how the chief technology officer is tapping into mobile tech talent. new york's own cto is giving payphone booths a lease on life as wi-fi hotspots. ♪ emil
