abe lincoln gee, i don't think he's a black guy. and then you go on down the line.et's just wonder who were the students who went south in freedom summer. oh, gosh, i think they were mostly white kids. imagine that. you think about cheney, goodman and swarner. two-thirds are white people. the idea that somehow dr. king has to be pushed up, elevated by pushing down president johnson, to me it is insulting. believe me, martin luther king is an american hero. when i say american, lou, i mean for all americans, not just a black hero. but i get it is revealing. she must have some deep insecurity to be doing -- to perpetrate this kind of fraud. one of the things that concerned me in maureen dowd's column, she saw this was full of students given free passes to celebrate dr. king's birthday. they're going to walk away thinking president johnson was a terrible enemy of civil rights in this country. i can tell you the author of not only "eyes on the prize," book and document the ear, but an author on the first supreme court justice who was an american american thurgood marsha

most of the soldiers who died to free the slaves were white folgers, but continuing that thought, abe lincolnhink he is a black eye, then you go on down the line let's just wonder about who are the students that went south. welcome i think they were mostly white kids. imagine that. when you think about this two thirds are white people. but the idea that somehow doctor martin luther king has to be pushed up an elevated by pushing down president johnson to me it is insulting and martin luther king is an american hero and when i say american, i mean for all americans. and she may have some deepening security to perpetrate this kind of fraud. and they were thinking that i can tell you that the author not only talk about this documentary, but i can tell you it is the first supreme court justice that it was president johnson who put the first african-american on the supreme court. and again it's just awful. when you start to think the cost of which he has acted and the implications of future generations that will walk away thinking that oh i know that story and have it absolutely wrong. it's the on

there's so many targets to surveil, it's like abe lincoln said you can watch all the terrorists all theists some of the time but you can't watch all the terrorists all of the time up. just don't have the people to do it. so is this little cell is it inspired? is it directed? or is it connected? i'd say, rather it falls in the middle. it was not directed by al awlaki from the grave, but it's a connected unit. they funneled fighters to iraq before. they've traveled to yemen before. so they're more than just inspired. they're a little connected. a lot of this might have been self-initiated against the newspaper, which had a lot of motives for the terrorists to hit that newspaper. a lot of motives. it falls into everything they want. >> operationally what we looked at here was a very murderous, cold terrorist, efficient operation initially, right, in the mass murder. and then what we saw unfold today there in france was what other guests and experts have called sort of a bungled or emergency-style operation that resulted ultimately from their deaths. in your view of the hostage context, how

that in abe lincoln's famous phrase, government-- democracy doesn't just mean government by the people it has to mean government for the people. and the way people judge that is by what's happening to them in their ode lives. and when they don't feel like they're being protected from large forces that is when they become disillusioned. so i don't think there's any more important issue. >> rose: how dow create a economy that is better for the middle class. how do you create a economy that creates job. how do you create an economy that enables people to have a better tomorrow than yesterday? >> i think there's a broad agreement that that's the end. i think there's still some disagreement frankly about whether framing it that way is really our highest economic priority. you would find many people who would say that our highest economic priority is to contain growth in government debt. you would find -- >> but-- and that is a perspective. i didn't think that-- i think our chances of controlling government debt are much greater if we're able to grow incomes for the middle class. >> rose: th

with this movie, to compare it to "selma", it is as if martin luther king was meeting with abe ram lincoln movie has invented characters and some of the most important characters in the dynamics in the movie are invented and their relationship to the pro nagnist are invented. i think what's driving the discussion about it is the more you understand how far from the recorded truth of this -- and by the way, i don't think there is a useable recorded truth of this because i don't actually believe a lot of statements in the book that this is based on. that wasn't written by chris kyle. it was written by two ghost writers for chris kyle who were credited on the book. i think chris kyle says things in the book that are probably not true. jesse ventura successfully sued chris kyle for saying things that weren't true, for example. let's pretend there is an available truth here. this movie departs from it wildly and what people are realizing in that is that clint eastwood and jason hall the screen writer couldn't find a good movie to make within the available truth of the story told in the book. so
