the present apathetic situation.et's say there is no debt limit and the president is free to borrow. -- let'sused to borrow say the president refuses to borrow. can congress legally require a president to borrow? simple question. thank you for taking my call. guest: well, if congress and the hypothetical president pass a visa legislation that results in a budget deficit. they pass a piece of legislation that increases government spending but they don't figure a way to pay for it with higher revenue or spending. then the government will have to issue debt bonds to pay for it. there's no other way of doing it. i don't see any way around it. they will have to issue the bonds to pay for it. there is one solution, it's a proposal i will firm up to address the treasury government without actually eating rid of it. for every piece of legislation that congress and the president signs that results in increased spending a lower tax revenue, then the president and congress have to also sign in that legislation agreed that they

it's hard to -- apathetic. it's hard to know what to do. an congressional investigation is the way to do it legally. but when you have republicans blocking that, there is not much an average citizen can do. >> is 50 years from now, we discover something that happened here that was absolutely appalling. then the other part of the question that historians are grappling with is what do the american people do in this moment when -- i mean the boston tea party, we know what happened. the civil war. we know what lincoln did. we know what happened. what are they going to say about what we did or didn't do in this moment? >> it's hard to see what average people can do. i mean, i have wonderful students who are very idealistic and they march and they protest. but what can they do literally and legally? we're a nation of law. and when -- >> and that law is broken. when the law is not being enforced. >> yeah. >> as you know, laws are. there they have to be enforced. there's a lot of discretion or prejudice on the part of prosecutors. like they don't h

we can't be apathetic at home and say we throw our hands up. we have to have a strong voice and in fire to communities and band together as a community to make the change. i am in third grade [inaudible] i have a friend that wants to be an engineer at nasa. if there was something you could say to him what would that be? >> the first thing he needs to do is believe in himself. the other thing is to work very hard and be very disciplined. science and engineering is kind of an exact subject and the more you study it, the better you will be at executing it. so, work hard, tell him to eat his green beans. [laughter] he's got to be healthy and have fun and be curious. another question is how did you feel being up in space? >> when i first got to space, about eight and a half minutes that launched to floating in space i got there and i was strapped into my seat and i started seeing things floating around me. i am still strapped in and right when the engine is cut off. in the orientation you are in that no longer works once you get to space so i felt l

you can be apathetic at home and her hands up. we have to have a strong voice and lift up our kids and in spire communities and being together as a community to make a change in a difference. i am in third grade. i've two questions. he wants to be in an engineer and nasa. if one thing you want to say to him well that be okay that the first syncing is to do is believe in himself. the other thing as serious to work very hard and be very disciplined. science and engineering they are kind of exacting subjects in the more that you study it and learn it the better you will be at executing it. work hard time to eat his green beans and have fun. and to be curious. another question as how did you feel being up in space. when i first got the space after the eight and half minutes elapsed i got there i was strapped into my seat and i started seeing things floating around me. i am still strapped in. and right when the engines cut off because my inter- ear that tells you what orientation you are in. that no longer works. i felt like i was doin

trump is very weak on homegrown terrorism evidenced by his apathetic response. david says a president will not criticize putin or white supremacy. how can this be considered leadership. president trump reportedly in new york today at trump tower and will be in washington tomorrow briefly and here is why. property theft by china will get scrutiny. president trump is planning to job china for allegedly stealing intellectual property from his misses. -- businesses. he will sign an executive memo asking the u.s. trade representative to determine whether to investigate state backed theft by china of intellectual property from american technology and defense companies. back to your calls on yesterday's violence in charlottesville. david, thanks for waiting. >> the kkk movement is not really violent and neither is the black panther movement from back in the day. when people start throwing bricks and coming with the sticks and stuff, that's what's causing the violence. i'm latino. i am mexican and i am not out there reading up like people and white people. this is all r

he says that stands for revitalization of the apathetic public and i would agree. that is what he says motivates him, revitalizes him and gives him the insight to write these meaningful historical journeys. as mr. haygood says, his subjects must be inspiring and , and by that he means they are welcome at his dining room table for a sunday dinner. he wants to be able to talk with them and that's how he chooses his subjects. his book, "king of the cats," tells about this harlem congressman's rise to power and fame. it reveals one of the most effective legislative persons in the history of congress. adam clayton powell junior likes thurgood marshall formed a bond with lyndon johnson, that moved major legislation through the house like no other. "king of the cats" is historically significant. adam clayton powell crossed paths with a thurgood marshall and they occasionally communicated. they had a common bond in their interests and they were aligned. this is another one of those wil haygood takes us to better grasp the significance of a historic figure who happens to be

so how would you suggest being able to move an apathetic student body of your peers?, i think -- i think -- student body? >> yeah. >> i'd say two things. cheerful persistence. you try something out. if it doesn't work, you try something else. and making lots of noise. large part of my career was a function of being sufficiently outrageous that people noticed me. and, again, trump is a perfect example. this is a guy who was so noisy in the '80se whe was on the cover of "time" magazine and oprah was asking him if he was going to run for president. he describes this. he wrote two really good books. one is "the art of the deal." which he wrote as a young man on the way up in the '80s. the other is "the art of the comeback" which he wrote in the '90s when he almost went broke. "the art of the comeback is in some ways psychologically more revealing. but one of the points he makes is that shear noise matters. when he first decided they were going to build trump tower, they were taking down an old smaller building. and it had two really interesting art deco pieces on the fron
