that we worked for president bush he was a republican and now he's running against bill clinton and al gore and i'm running this project the gates gore task force. on a number of occasions i was toad stop overachieving on this project and so it's difficult but that's pretty stubborn. i mean initially i was told you can bring in three scientists i ended up bringing in seventy. we made the decision that we would have senator gore send the letters of invitation not us because we thought that the scientists might be uncomfortable getting a letter from the cia. linda zol was forming a close knit clump of elite scientists from every discipline and oceanography atmospherics ecology and dozens of other fields who would be able to work the secret systems and they took. their mission would be to work alongside the intelligence agencies to see what's the intelligence all kind of some systems could reveal about climate change and other ways in which the earth is changing two very different cultures came together it was a meeting of all sorts of people in some cases i didn't measure even existed harley

bush took office the knife's came out among republicans opposed to any program associated with al gore. as funding was cut and it shut down. the would the incoming reign of latham and putin be any better disposed to joint scientific intelligence worked between russia and america. even at the gabba was dealing with the book we were doing back then was so noble and we were very enthusiastic enthusiasm the boom logan over what the mess you've seen it lasted some time you put it there well it's just not were about to go backwards it's cyclical opinion and we're going in the wrong direction abruptly don't grow up and you feel that unfortunately here in the united states. the whole issue of climate change. has become politically polarizing. and. and in some ways the political divide has pushed people to the extremes on both sides is mean you clue what the us would be in the us the done the climate change is particularly dangerous for us but the risk as the arctic ice melts is that the permafrost will also melt and that represents half of russian territory you can i would just open it and if

he is suggesting al gore as a potential chairman for tesla. what do you make of these names thrown out there? isn: i think somebody that from the auto industry as chairman would really be more positive than somebody like al gore, who is outside the auto industry. emily: like the leeco -- like who? ivan: bob lutz has been very , butcal of elon and tesla there are a number of retired and even current executives that would be very additive to the company. emily: what are your reactions to the names we are hearing? dana: their name -- there needs to be another woman of the board. somebody with utility experience. traditional auto, i can't see tesla going along with that. been to disrupt votto. i don't know what the process is for searching for the new board member who will decide if they are bringing in a search firm or not. emily: what we know about the timeline? i am imagining they will try to get new board members as fast as possible but i forget what the exact deadline is. emily: aside from model three production, what are the other challenges

what happened in volusia county was around 10 p.m., midnight, 1r to that al gore in volusia county was head of george bush. around 10 p.m. suddenly his number started reversing. every first more than 16,000 votes. in fact, it was all happening in one precinct and the one at 16,000 voters in one precinct so his numbers were showing a negative 16,000 in that precinct. the explanation election officials provided was a faulty memory card was inserted into the tabulating machine. it wasn't the legitimate memory card, so there was one memory card for one precinct and it was uploaded to a type of it on election night but the logs show and now after that memory card was uploaded, another second memory card for that same precinct was uploaded. after that second card was uploaded, that's when the votes started disappearing. no one is ever been able to explain what exactly happened, whether that was a rogue card that was intentionally designed to hack the votes and misfired and, therefore, a raised too many votes for al gore, or whether this was a software mishap. no one has explained why to make

around 10:00 p.m., suddenly al gore's numbers started reversing. it reversed more than 16,000 votes. in fact, it was all happening in one precinct. there were 16,000 -- weren't 16,000 voters in that precinct. the explanation that election officials provided was a faulty memory card was inserted into the tabula machine. -- tabulating machine. there was one memory card for this one precinct and it was uploaded to the tabulator on election night. an hour after that memory card was uploaded, another memory card was uploaded. after the second card was uploaded, that's when the votes for gore started disappearing.. no one's been able to explain what was happening, whether it was a rogue card intentionally designed to have to vote and misfired, and therefore erased too many votes for gore, or this was a software mishap. but no one has explained why two memory cards were uploaded. that's the main problem. the fact a second memory card was never able to be uploaded. host: john kerry has expressed misgivings about the 2004 vote in ohio. kim: they had concern

al gore was still inventing it. but yet now in the fbi, it is one of our largest priorities because every crime -- and especially terrorism -- that's where it's found. >> host: how to spot a terror theist before it's too late, is the name of the book. former fbi special agent john innarelli is the author. this is booktv on c-span2. >> you're watching booktv on c-span2 with top nonfiction books and authors every weekend. booktv, television for serious readers. >> so still very active as a senator, serving on committees including health, education, labor, armed services committee, she's got all her ducks in a row. is she coming up for a 2020 run? do you think she's going to be on that roster of presidential candidates? >> well, you know, she did something just this past month that makes me think, yes. of course, she's always denied that -- [laughter] i'm working for the state of massachusetts. you know a lot about elizabeth warren. >> yeah. >> but last month two weeks in a row she brought out these sweeping bills. the

tennessee, the land of al gore among others. ophet on climate change.ou are in a land where the president denies climate change. what do you say to them? look at look around and the science. sometimes peoplele say things politically to be asked to be e. if there's a 1% chance that human activity has contributed to this, look at that closely. there, iis data out mean, show it to me. i don't know except i see people down here hurting terribly. people have lost everything will stop whatever the cause, whether it is human activity or not, to build down here, you're going to have to do more and i'm going to have to do o more to survive the next one. i would hope the politicians would do more to try to deal with what is going on. if we canan put a man on the mo, we can solve this issue of carbon. we can do that. if we have the willpower. people need to quit denying science. amy: why do you think it has happened? down the road i talked to a woman who is an owner of another house that did pretty well. she talked about building two new standards, and that is why

and we take a look at al gore's plan tooney move, his employ three million and investments for plansh long-term view. theet's get a check on major averages, we are seeing a mixed picture for u.s. stocks, tech shares are gaining ground, and we are feeling the downside pressure for the dow and s&p 500. material stocks are taking a beating after a coating maker warned that profits will fall short of forecasts. the s&p 500 is also flat. and we have the energy sector some u.s. also see oil outputs, fort is one of the big decliners, and for the first time below nine dollars since august 2012. they are taking a pounding as we see this carmaker taking a piecemeal approach to outlining cost cuts, part of the years long and costly restructuring. starbucks gaining more than 3% at one point, jumping more than 5% after we heard the bill ackman is said to take a position in the company. --ht now, the bond market the bond markets are coming back online after a holiday. amanda: that's right. we are watching the yield closely, take a look at the yield on the 10 year, it's on a happy high, but at high

when i ran against bush, 60.3%. 54%, whenime it was they didn't count all the votes when al gore actually one. but it was that was -- it was that close. we are now in a place where we are living in administration that is there not because of the people who did vote because of the people who didn't. we have to change it. biggestays, we have the opportunity for a midcourse correction we've had in years. i hope everybody will take a minute of this. [applause] to talk to: i'd love about vietnam, the economy. we can doited in what today. i want to talk to you a little bit about one of your achievements. the jcpoa. when i read the section and hear about the negotiating with iran and how you problem solved the iranian -- with the iranian foreign minister, you seem to develop a chromatic -- pragmatic and deep relationship. mr. kerry: you have to learn. in diplomacy, you have to compartmentalize. you have to compartmentalize to legislate correctly and make the senate work. john mccain and i became good friends. when i went out to visit him in arizona at his sick bed, he said, i love you. i said, i

here is al gore, who has been the vice president, foreign-policy specialist before that. bush has been governor of texas but as far as foreign-policy, he would joke about his experience with mexico but that is about it. so he gets attacked for not knowing much and he says, he doesn't say i don't have to know much but he says i have the finest group of foreign-policy advisers around, and by that he is talking about this group, the vulcans, who have served with his father. secondly, during the 2000 campaign, he chooses cheney as his vice president. karl rove doesn't want cheney. karl rove says cheney comes from a tiny state that is already republican. he won't bring votes the way lyndon johnson would carry texas for john kennedy. and he is too conservative. bush wants cheney, mostly because of his experience. he is choosing his father's advisers and echoes all the way up to and including his own vice president. and once he takes office, he really does rely on them. he has kind of a bridging figure of condoleezza rice, a friend of his, as national security adviser. but these

and al gore famously replied there's no need to get snippy. ones who have actually contested the results of the election. there's not a lot of evidence that donald trump was doing that. he was just having a joke, as is his wont. what's disturbing to me, this is another sign of totalitarian society, when trump makes an obvious joke like, hey, vladimir putin, if you're watching maybe you could cough up those e-mails of hillary's you've got. when he makes an obvious joke, intelligence agencies then say, we need to investigate trump's joke. that's actually what they did behind the iron curtain and it's a bit disturbing that it's now happening on this side of the iron curtain. >> tucker: whatever they are accusing you of doing is exactly what they're doing themselves. that turns out to be the one true rule about behavior. mark steyn, always great to see you, thank you for explaining that. t >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: oh, final exam, up ahead can you beat our experts at remembering what happened last week?ex one of the great pairings of all time,

but i think that you can learn like al gore did. when he austin lost the heart breaker by 500 votes, i think we can learn from what jackson and gore did. you fight, it's controversial, it's heart-wretching but important for established succession. and when nixon moved over with kennedy, despite the controversy with illinois. i thought he should learn a lesson from that day. >> host: andrew jackson and the miracle of new orleans. this is abrian kilmeade third history book. >> 20 years ago c-span launched book tv on c-span 2. since then we've covered author events and over 40 programs featuring u.s. presidents. in 1999 former president georgia bush read from his collection of letters, memos and diary entries. >> the we are very close to the front. when the goose stepping arm-swinging elite guard marched in i had first saw hostile troops in hostile power. we had a little wait and i watched the changing of the guard and looked at the faces and saw my sons in yours. george, jeb, marvin, mike and ron. i saw a funeral without tears. i saw

bush president for the blue and al gore for the blue and george w. bush for the red and that was only 18 years ago less than a generation ago so talk about where this goes because we are divided that we are red and blue so what happens from here? . >> and 30 seconds or less and what happened in the nineties but all of the divisions that is what the title gets to this idea of the poll in 2016 basically they would be bothered if they married somebody from the other party 60 percent that say that it is much more of an expression now i agree the capital gains tax it is now an expression of cultural identity personal identity and that is a new thing it is all tribalism and that's a change from the nineties i don't have a particular prescription this will sound vague and pretty weak but i think that media landscape the way they use the media with that generation or two with tribalism the political media system evolves in a way so human nature created this mess so whatever side you are on it reaches a point where we just get tired of it of the constant in-y

market january 1993 as bill clinton was taking over as president of the united states, and notably al gore was talking about the information superhighway. so it was a generational change that was occurring at a political level and on a larger scale, on the cultural technological level it was a massive revolution going on. >> host: do you remember in that first issue with some of the articles were, what some of the products work that you were talking about? >> guest: we had camille talking, in an interview with stuart brand talking about technology, talking about culture. we had a story about japanese otaku you are obsessive japanese, young men basically who go crazy on, go very deep dive and obscure or real little subcultures. we had a story on education, how education was the last soviet left, american educate with the last soviet left on the planet because it's all organized locally and yet its results are abysmal. even though at that time gross spending was on the order of 590. we had a broad collection of stories -- $500 billion. -- trying to capture the people, companies and ideas tha

america. >> john heilemann i saw a picture of the '92 convention, bill clinton, hillary clinton, al goreg there smiling and waving and somebody noted that three of the four people on the stage that night would win the popular vote for president but only one of those three would become president. >> yeah. extraordinary thing. i'm listen to steve kornacki talk about this. those of us in our age group went through that in the 1990s. another thing to steve's point is fact we can all remember in bill clinton's term, he won west virginia. there's literally not a state in the country right now that's not more pro trump than the state of west virginia. a state in our adult lifetime a state democrats could win and now it's so far outside that the democrats don't even compete in presidential elections. this speaks to profound changes that's happened in the democratic party. bill clinton's role as a modernizer of the party was successful. in other respects his attempt to moderate the party was a total failure. in many respects the party is now more, looks more like the party of the 1980s in terms o

and that he had a lot of punitive in yemen in the al gore cult on the what he did with canada. that he was involved in the nobody can stop him if he has trouble on his side nobody can stop in this eventually lead to what happened in the stumble on october second so no the issue is what will trump do now he's still doing business as usual but this the pressure in washington i'm going to grow more and more and eventually he has to change nobody is talking about changing the nature of your saudi relations but we have to change the approach of yes that would relations possibly m.b.'s must have done if he's not in power and he's doing what he's doing imagine what he what once he becomes the king and he completely control illegally eccles is usually end and all parts of the government and then there would be no they versus the inside them on a shoe no diversity in the saudi media and do it have an extension of what you see and know. so yes the child or first that should be over the congress i think that i think the lead move forward they're going to pressure the government that's a s

around 10:00 p.m., al gore's members started reimbursing. it reversed more than 60000 votes. there aren't -- it was all happening in one precinct. so his numbers were showing a negative 16 pounds. exclamation that they provided was that a faulty memory card was inserted into the cat creating machine. it wasn't a legitimate memory card. there was one memory card for the precinct and it was uploaded on election night. the logs showed an hour after that was open loaded, another, second memory card for the same precinct was uploaded. after that second card was uploaded, that's when the votes started disappearing. no one has ever been able to explain what exactly happened with it. whether it was a roque card that was intentionally designed to hack the vote and expired and therefore erased too many votes for him or whether it was a mishap but no one has excellent why to memory cards were uploaded. that's the main problem in terms of -- the fact the second memory card was ever able to be uploaded. >> 2004 vote in ohio. >> yes, so they had concerns about the machines in ohio, ohio wa

won butflorida, al gore when bush was running against al gore's votesw al away.n they recounted, of course they didn't have all of al gore's votes, so al gore didn't have enough. but because he threw them away. that was illegal, and bush got to be president illegally. so the most important part would be to have people who can be honest. guest: one interesting result of recount after the campaign in 2000 was that was where the election assistance commission and the help america ,ote act initially came from which is where the 380 million dollars covers has appropriated so far has been funneled through , and states have been requesting more money from congress, which so far they have not appropriated. host: you talk about legislative efforts. what has congress done to actove this other than the granted initially? guest: there's been a lot of interest in the vehicle that most people hoped would pass, the secure elections act, sponsored by senator amy klobuchar of minnesota and james lankford of oklahoma. it really looked as if that was going to pass before the electi

one is the former boeing ceo and another is former vice president our gore -- al gore.y divisive person, though he has been very supportive of musk in the past. why these two names? have you had any conversations with them? not had any conversations with them, but i think they make a ton of sense for two reasons. take isase of al, his renewable energy is a big part of what he has been advocating for many years. i think tesla's mission, which may surprise people is to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy. there is the one challenge with his chairmanship, which is he is currently on the board of apple, which i think he enjoys that role. but to me he is the ideal person . the second, terms of bringing in as this ising ceo, at play, could be appealing to elon in the since the whole space industry, aerospace and is -- expertise on the manufacturing side i think would boat exceptionally well. either of those would be a home run for the company. and i think both of those are two people that elon would agree to, which is an important part of the equation. arey: tesla's p

no other first lady has had that, because, obviously, as katherine al gore back there knows about the adams, lucille adams did not have her mother-in-law to ask questions about being first lady. and it was just so different but barbara bush left an imprint by the sheer force of her personality and her character. and of course, i wish jon meach meacham, and so you know, spoke earlier today on the presidents and the press panel, of course, is the only person in america other than barbara bush who has read her full diaries. because she kept incredible diaries. and mrs. johnson kept incredible diaries. and of course, as we know, john was a eulogist at her funeral and captured her beautifully. her whit, her humor. very self-deprecating, but she could slice and dice pretty good, too. and i think people kind of liked that about her personality. >> we had george w. bush at the library around a civil rights summit we did four years ago, around the passage of the -- 50th anniversary of the passage of the civil rights act. and we were in the great hall of the lbj libraries. majestic space with t

opportunity to be elected senator from a state of tkz where the jewish population is 2% and then al gore gives me a chance to run for vice president, first jewish american on a national ticket. really, i faced no anti-semitism and, forgive me for going back to the end of the 2000 election, we actually got 500,000 more votes than the other ticket, which was a reflection in numbers that people weren't voting based on religion. so when something like this happens, it's shocking and it changes that reality. but i believe the reality is that the american people are very fair minded, not bigoted. you saw it in the wholesome reaction of the neighbors who were not jewish in squirrel hill, pittsburgh, and the elected officials there. it was very genuine. >> that's recent for hope, isn't it? but congressman dent, one of the reasons to be concerned -- hopefully, we just don't ignore, is what the anti-defamation says in 2017, anti-semitic attacks rose 57%. why do you see that happening in this country? >> well, certainly first let me just tell you, i've seen these levels of anti-semitism where i liv

every time an election is lost, like when al gore win s the popular vote and lost in 2000. or hillary clinton won the popular vote. people talk about let's do away with the electoral college. right now in the heat of the moment people want to reform the supreme court justice process but the republicans have power and they're looking to get yet a third supreme court justice. in the coming years. so they're not going to be in the mood for doing massive reform on a process that's given them goresuch and now kavanaugh. >> right, right. lydia, i mean, how do you think the kavanaugh confirmation process could impact the midterms? obviously there was a degree of enthusiasm from democrats. many are upset with the way this played out. we could also see a bump in enthusiasm from republicans as well. >> i think there's a lot of republican voters that are angry about this. they see that -- they think that democrats orchestrated this political hit against their guy, brett kavanaugh. and i think what we're goinging to see and what pollsters are saying is that the gop is going to use that

al gore was the one to mention it long before the republicans put it on question.on is the timing. here's another member of the obama team part of the campaigns in the obama administration saying okay, i would agree with you 1,000% about the times, but why now? argue the substance, but why 22 days before an election where we must win the seats to save america. why now? why can't dems ever stay focused. fair question. >> dems in disarray! >> she obviously wants to get out in front of this and i think everyone believes that 2020 begins the day after election. >> why not in 2012. maybe she couldn't handle it when she was a senate candidate for the first time. these questions linger and instead of that campaign, she ran away from it. should you address all these questions sooner? she said i was a first time candidate. >> we are in a moment where you see a lot of 2020 prospects talk about who is someone who can take the fight to trump. who is aggressive enough? >> should they talk about that november 7th? >> this gives her an idea to show she is not backing down. >> she

do you think the electoral college should be -- a >> i said that in 2000 after what happened with al goreit was designed for another time. it no longerer works. if we move towards one person, one vote, i think it needs to be eliminated. i would like to see us move faster. >> tucker: it isn't just the electoral college, either. the past few days, many are saying that the senate itself should be changed, with the states having a different number of senators. senators. all of a sudden, everybody on the left seems to be saying things like this, including supposedly unbiased reporters. shut up, wyoming. nobody cares what you think. that is the new message. the left has never been big on self-awareness. here is one especially amazing example. this is an onion piece waiting to be written. it comes from tom steyer. he is a finance billionaire who is one of the democratic party's biggest donors. people listen to him only because he sends them money. and yet his latest crusade, we want to prepare you for a blast of hot irony. rich, entitled white men. watch this, and savor it. >>ic a group of very
