it's one of those days when the power of american journalism is like a klieg light in a dark sky. look at what we have just learned. if you were able to follow each of these paving stones as they were laid down one by one by great american journalists and published by free american press, if you were able to follow this one story all along from the beginning, today was a day when righteously, you should just take a second and look back at where that path has led us to today and behold what good journalism can do and how valuable it is to us as country. what we have learned tonight in reporting is stunning enough in bottom line but all the more stunning -- all the more civic appreciation for it when you see where it came from. started in july, last july. 2016, in the republican national convention. doing something that usually the national press doesn't care that much about. beat reporters cover it, political activists tend to cover it. but usually at convention doing the boring work of hammering out the planks in the party platform that year, it's usually low profile thing. coveri

biography of this amazing hero in my opinion because she's part of the german underground the american journal of freedom and it's really makes the rescue operation which is the only rescue operation that is successful before the war in 1940. one of the things that happens in the book happens is kate stimson here she sent me books to review when i was working on eisenhower and let me just say that was nice because it took me a long time to research eisenhower in a place called abilene kansas and it's a dry state you can't even get wine with dinner that is the problem but i've got to be friends with the local sheriff and they were to shoot guns and drink. that's how it gets done. so this went on for a very long time and she would send me books to review and one that she sent me a she couldn't stand when she was breeding she couldn't stand it it couldn't possibly mean what it seems to mean so when i got back i called joe and we got to befriend because this is a book that should stay in print for ever and they wrote three of your books and it's just a great esteem and biographer. let's talk about

we're not bringing a lot to the table but as american as it is interesting looking at objectivity and journalism so looking at objectivity but american also have very american lives that takes away from the power of objectivity and it took a while to sort out. >> one of the things that you talk about with the rise of isis and extremism and terrorism has dominated the headlines here and often they believed the religion to raise certain extent and one of the scenes that you write about bin turki how they cover their hair but it wasn't allowed to cover in public buildings they have to take their head scarves off bad your comment was too willingly deposit a piece of my clothing and to reflect on what about the what does that mean in though world? what is that we are getting right or wrong again that shows what they don't do very often to see those girls who we're going to school we tend to have a hard time putting ourselves because they had a bulgarian friend that say americans are uniquely bad because the world is so foreign and confusing in we could attribute those misconceptions that we can also
