is really behind that sentiment you see al gore helped start the t.v. etwork current t.v. in two thousand and four this year he sold it to al jazeera and pocketed seventy million bucks personally from the sale of al-jazeera is largely funded by qatar a country that largely makes its money from oil you know that thing we keep burning that al gore says is changing the climate and doing the planet. he also holds an undisclosed number of shares of the occidental petroleum corporation which is reported to be valued somewhere around a million dollars and he flies around the globe and jets powered by lots and lots of fuel to give speeches for which he charges one hundred seventy five thousand bucks apiece. in two thousand and four gore and a former goldman sachs director co-founded an investment fund called generation investment management the fund is supposed to incorporate sustainability into its investment approach the fund has about eight point five billion dollars in assets under management which include holdings in procter and gamble and colgate palmolive

like al gore, the kind of warring sides between al gore, the environmentalist and al gore the capitalisttalist. this was a great business decision. you can argue about the price. >> i'd want him to negotiate my next deal. but there's fair questions to the point of whether you are being a little bit hypocritical if you sell to this company. if you're going to take part of that money and invest in the things -- >> $75 million -- >> that ain't a little bit of hypocritical. but al gore, though, good businessman. >> people don't realize between silicon valley and hollywood, america has minted a huge number of progressive millionaires. >> right. >> and billionaires. >> these people love al gore. they love him. they like doing business with him. they like his politics. every step of the way, he's been able to sort of align himself with people who have a lot of money and who are very smart. he's very engaged. he earns his money in silicon valley. he does his homework. you know, he's not just there as a figure head. >> they like him because he's a part of helping him make -- >> and the guy's a vi

my concern is what happened to al gore, younger al gore in 2000. he was okay. he was center left and somewhat left. then he was pushed further left and he had to move over and grab the nader vote and nader got enough to beat him in florida. by moving over to the left, he gave it all to george w. that's what happens with the democratic party pushes itself to the left. it loses the critical 5% or 10% in the middle. >> republicans are doing it -- >> they are doing it on their own. >> like howard says, in '94 i voted for the assault weapons ban but i could go out there and talk to people face-to-face. >> you did that in '94. >> in '94, yeah. you can't do that anymore, because now they are inundated every 30 seconds by messages from all different media outlets, so we have to, whether it's on shows like this or through the political system, we've got to start making sure we're looking for the center and the compromise and the consensus and starting from that. >> you're now facing regional politics. i don't like that guy, he's telling us how big our cokes can be, that

it belongs to you and al gore had fun. he doesn't understand that the government program. the shows are ignorant he is. bush was right. social security is not like any other government program. sunday we paid for, blocks to us, and managed as a trust, that really is ours in a legal sense. bush's intentions are quite different. he wanted to encourage people to think of payroll tax is something they should put into a private account instead of letting it be managed by the social security administration. i think there is a profound truth that got turned around and cheesy people on the progressive side as well as the conservative site can get confused about this and the reality, the more fundamental reality of social security as a form of mutual aid gets lost sometimes. >> you've talked about the three stages in this effort to undermine social security. who do you see as people behind the? what was the first stage during the reagan administration? >> to be really quick because it's on the book, so read the book. as for status to the history told in this book. social security d

al gore won, okay? democrats have been winning the presidency for a long time. the way, even republicans were acting was far more inviting left wing economically at least then perhaps reagan, reagan would've acted. i just don't see pendulum. i see a slow drift more than see it going back and forth. here's the big problem. when democrats create policy, its policy forever. when republicans come view a tax cut is a temperate tax cut that has to be at some point fixed. the problem is that you always have to be vigilant and always fight, and they never stop. they are programs have, continue to grow but as with hazard initial estimate on it, do you think obama to be any different? creating these state exchanges i think the price has already doubled since they started, the estimate. so the problem is that their programs are for ever and we, our programs are not forever. >> [inaudible] [applause] spent we would like to hear from you. tweeters your feedback, twitter.com/booktv. >> mr. moss, what happened in minneapolis in april 1999? >> i start the book with that meeting

on the foreign minister said that the syrians will show up when we have them come to the table let al gore a short can let john mccain come there all calm that's better than what's going on now it's got to be preceded. by a cease fire so what's wrong with that martin what's wrong with that. franklin well i wonder frankly do you believe that. any peace can come with assad remaining in power franklin you want to answer the question tell the election yeah tell the election i think it can and i'm not convinced point of anything else to say on a free and open and fair election. franklin well we can get jamie we can and you think harder over there and we get the u.n. but i think that's problematic of the regime is going to have to prove to the world that it's a clean election and there'll be plenty of pressure on them. to make sure that happens but give credit to the syrian people you know it's not just their eight thousand years of history and their deep culture they're not in love with their government but they're in love with their country and i've seen that from homes to aleppo to damascus i

we're the not running against john kerry and al gore anymore. this is a new world. two years ago, when i walked into the rnc, some of you may not know this, we had $26 million in debt. something i haven't shared a lot? you'd agree that the the rnc and knc are the two biggest political organizations in the world. when i walked in, both credit cards were suspended for nonpayment. we had 80 # employees in 2011. do you know how many barack obama had in florida? hundreds. if we're going to compete, we've got to win on the ground. if we're going to compete, we have to be huge right now. that's what this project is about. we have to speak to people from the community in the community working in that community hiring the people from the community to speak to the people in that community. that's how you win elections. secondly, branding and markets. we don't tell people who we are anymore. we're the party of freedom, opportunity, and equality, but you wouldn't know it because we're not out there saying, but we're going to be. we're going to be educating people about what we

don a long time ago and betty you can't pick my shoes i thought we did and then where i'm from and al gore made this you know he said george bush is my president too even though he knew what the numbers were. not everybody knew. that number one sandra day o'connor was never considered a heavyweight jurist she was pretty much a symbolic pick that president reagan was warned that in the legislature in her political career in arizona she was not a true conservative to it's it's very interesting that that the day that that report was released was also the same day that dominican plane crashed in like fell out of the sky in queens and so that it's like it consistently. wiped out the lights and you asked why did the new york times bury the lead because if you read the new york times style guide they are supposed to bury the lead many are not many article i've ever read the new york times you have to dig like six or seven graphs deep before you figure out what the point is to go with that ok ron wyden and lisa murkowski of introduced a bill to require super pacs to reveal their funding. this was

actually before i set this up let me set it up properly the reason john mccain didn't run against al gore in two thousand when george w. bush did john mccain was on a winning streak and if he had won south carolina he would have beat george every bush but in south carolina apparently karl rove engineer a push poll john mccain has a dark skinned daughter a daughter that they adopted from bangladesh and the photos she looks like she could be black and so there was a push poll that was run in south carolina the week before the prime. mary and became was way ahead in the primary this said if you knew that john mccain had an out of wedlock daughter with a black woman would you still vote for him and they made sure that those pictures got the newspapers and suddenly mccain dropped six eight points george w. bush became the nominee and went on to become president that same kind of thing in the exact same state is happening right now push poll happening would you vote for elizabeth colbert busch if you knew that she'd had an abortion ever had abortion would you know would you vote for her if you

even in the "new york times," even al gore, the science isn't exactly there, but never mind that.tes violence in cities like chicago when it is warmer out they kill people. also that causes economic downturn and men out of work, beat their wives. >> greg: i remember that. >> andrea: everything in book. so in a down economy, under that rationale, we're to deduce president obama is encouraging prostitution and george bush didn't. i would make the leap. i thought liberal women supports a women's right to be a prostitution. i thought that was good thing, liberals say. >> greg: juan, we spend a lot about global warming which could take the eye off the buafl terror. couldn't you say global warming leads to more terror. >> i will say this whole segment is so convoluted. i have been trying to follow it. if your wife thinks it's okay for you to stay out all night, just warm up the bed with global warming. we have list of things that is blamed on global warming, the death of the ash tree and end of the caribbean coral and eskimos fleeing their village. it weakens the argument but in respons

former vice president al gore saying obama administration should approve the keystone pipeline. no difference if it came from eradicate to like less friendly nations like venezuela. there is no such thing assets cal oil and only dirty oil and dirt yes, sir oil. he is well known user of private jets that are most energy efficient way of traveling around the world. it emits at least 900 pounds of carbon dioxide compared to 180 pounds of commercial jet but i'm sure there is no hypocrisy involved. we need to change our definition of success and have a fulfilling career in life. joining us now is harvard business professor author of this new book. what you really meant to do. a road map to reaching your potential. it's great to have you. let me say professor, i think it's inappropriate to call you rob. we're talking business. the idea of finding pit bull, i was on seventh avenue. i was looking at people that were selling their wares and i flashed back when i was a sophomore in harvard, second time in new york, i was trying to figure out what i was going to do. i found it intimidating
