they argued with each other. they chased each other's wives. they smoked an awful lot. and ended up creating the united nations among other things. >> how did they assist each other in their careers? >> a., by getting jobs for each other. the ones who were in the media, like walter wrote editorials, criticizing each other. they fought with each other, they broke up, they got angry. they would come back around. it was a family relationship. you're not really sure you really like this person, but he's a relative so you've got to. >> what drew you to angle? how did you discover the group and decide to write about them as a group? >> i found them by mistake. i was working on a biography of alan, the cia director. and i wanted to know where he began. he began in dupont circle. his grandfather lived there. he and foster went to gw law school here. everybody thinks harvard now. no, no. so they were friends with franklin roosevelt, and roosevelt, of course, used them both. and of course, they went on to serve president eisenhower and kennedy and so on. one of the things a reade

some researchers think they know why a recent study released by the journal psychological science argues that a lack of consensus building is what doomed the occupy wall street the study's researchers write the inability of liberal occupy wall street protesters to achieve consensus on vital issues alternately contributed to the movement's failure to develop solidarity and enact political change is a lack of consensus building really what hurt the occupy movement the most and did the movement fail to enact real and lasting change like the researchers argue joining me now for more on the rise and fall of the occupy movement is for so a grim participant spokesperson with occupy wall street and the call carty occupy activist and participant in occupy wall street as well or so and nicole welcome to you both. and i think you thanks for joining us first pursue your thoughts on wal-mart cashing in on the occupy movement. well the first thing to understand is that the poster is actually being sold by third party sellers through wal-mart so it's just a small business person selling the poster thro

palin, it was argued that she is not the kind of person to give in to bullies.e kind of mother who protects her children to my something that those who hate her don't seem to understand. if you recall, payment herself this.in herself invoked if you have never seen her mama grizzly act, go onto youtube and .oogle mama grizzly it is a fascinating advertisement. it is really well done. palin herself used the mama grizzly image to precisely capture the reconciliation of femininity and toughness. she offers this sentiment. you thought pickles were tough, but you don't want to mess with mama grizzly. have invoked a toughness themselves. as for bachmann, harry christophe said about her and also her conservative counterparts, you have to have a and be ang backbone conservative woman running for office. byhmann is also described another organization is having the strength and tenacity to do what is necessary to lead this nation. here you have interesting coupling of traditional conceptualizations of femininity with masculinity am a suggesting that palin and bachmann can

it comes to this aiding the enemy charge and he says and what a lot of civil rights activists have argued throughout this case is that it has had this chilling effect on the media they'd also chelsea manning is the only whistleblowers having to jail john kiriakou was sentenced to jail years the cia whistleblower we've been talking a lot of the notable whistleblowers of this year in studio. the story how did his story affect jobs where it was actually around this time last year that he was sitting in this studio i interviewed him right before he was about to go to jail as you had mentioned he's a former cia officer and he is also charged with leaking information to the media interesting thing about kerry aku before that happened he was also the first cia officer to publicly expose that torture does go on on u.s. bases at guantanamo bay and he brought specific attention to waterboarding saying that this practice happens at guantanamo bay and he was he called it torture he used those words now here is part of my conversation with him right before he went to prison. the bush administration mo

and apropos of that if you know to bring this to the to the current moment in time you argue in your book that president obama's r. is arguably worse than richard nixon was when it comes to press freedoms is that you know first of all it's his we call have the first part of the question is am i accurately characterizing that or do you want to you know change that or put no and so i think that yeah i think that's generally generally accurate we all remember this last summer. obama had a terrible. so my with up with the press. i did more leakers than anybody in the history of the country and what i was worried about also. was that he was going to go after wiki leaks and a song for what i talked about earlier in the program this criminal action and do it on a legal theory that was going to be terribly troublesome now the nixon tried to do that that's to say criminally prosecute the new york times after publication after he lost the pentagon papers case he wanted to bites out of the apple and he had a grand jury going for eighteen months up in boston but it gave up and what is a palm a d

newspapers in the first amendment and provoked you to you know brought you to be the guy who was arguing this case before the supreme court well i think that if you trace back what people are doing back to their childhood many times not all the times that many times there are connections and i was always interested in politics . in the press when i was eight year old i used to put out my own newspaper as what you did when. many years ago today you'd be on the net or something. but i split up my own newspaper write the headlines and so it's a lifelong. addiction you might say that's remarkable remarkable it's been. it's been forty years since the supreme court ruled six to three in the new york times case what made that case you call it a case for the ages. what makes that not hyperbole. well here's the way to think about the pentagon papers case without turning off your non lawyers or you know it's very simple what nixon tried to do is he tried to censor the new york times and later the washington post how did he try to censor them the sense of them by going into court and getting order

right to free association but in the fifty four page decision judge poly argued the n.s.a.'s bulk collection program is not being used in a way that violated the constitutional rights about average law abiding americans he notes there is no evidence that the government has used any of the bulk telephony metadata collected for any purpose other than investigating and disrupting terrorist attacks which ruling comes less than two weeks after a federal judge in washington d.c. came to a much different conclusion about the n.s.a.'s bulk phone records collection program judge richard leon ruled the program to be likely unconstitutional arguing i cannot imagine a more indiscriminate an arbitrary invasion than the systematic and high tech collection or attention of personal data on virtually every single citizen for purposes of queering it and analyzing it without judicial approval now with this latest ruling it's looking more and more likely that the supreme court will be the final arbiter when it comes the n.s.a. is spying programs. staying here now to a story about the revolving

i was arguing that the image is of a white santa. that's the very same thing that aisha harris acknowledged in her piece and was arguing we need to change. she and i were on the same page about the fact that the image that is portrayed is white. we were the same. when she described him as melanin deficient no one cried racism. when i said it i was accused of racism. >> sometimes we have to the take a step back and wonder why most of the historical figures are portrayed as white. it's important for people of color. i had a black santa in my house. i have a black jesus. i'm the daughter of two pastors. i had a black jesus in my house growing up. it is important that symbols of tradition and culture in our society reflect all of oh us and all of our identities. it was problematic because whiteness is not a default color. it's not the default identity. >> i think everybody agrees on that. the only thing i was trying to say -- first of all, i was trying to make a joke to the kids at home. people are saying, what kids are watching at 9:00

i mean did hope to see a big difference couple of years from now but i think some would argue that one of the reasons why people are so skeptical about this whole european integration people in ireland i mean it was because of them having incur all that private banking doubt upon themselves and. i wonder whether you think that aren't would have been pressured and obligated to. all that banking if it wasn't a member of the e.u. citizen number of assumptions in your question that i would challenge i think they're wrong the first assumption is that there is a majority of people skeptic skeptical in the number of hands as it is certainly increased from the last saying it has increased thousand priests but that's very different from saying are inferring that the majority of people are against our scandalous average earthing no this is not just isn't it's growing we were able to as an inference in your introduction as well on your question the. a majority of people are against the level of integration of where we stand in our relationship with europe at the moment. that's not to say that the

well, the anc people, the african national they argued with the pac people, and they all argued and theyughted in living rooms, streets, in bars, and they were arch rivals. mr. mandela came as founder of the anc. he never raised his voice. he didn't argue with anybody. he spoke kindly to everybody. i was amazed. i had never met any south africans who spoke under the top of their voices. he was so kind. what i noticed was his control. it wasn't that he had given up on changing apartheid. he went to prison the next year for 27 years and said he would die rather than stop arguing against apartheid, but he didn't turn every living room into an arena. he was kind. >> maya angelou. the police saw the march in kiev and protesters refuse to go back down. we take you to the streets of the ukrainian capitol. the low 70 did or high 60s, partly cloudy conditions, overnight, about 44 degrees. texas also dry for you as well. we saw rain showers and a mix of precip just a little bit up here towards the north. temperatures for dallas at about 42. san antonio at 55. for houston, well, you are going to be

and in the senate and the argue it out i like your thinking about it are you. talk about dianne feinstein and she. is a little conservative on these issues and she's. messing shall i say with a bill that would protect reporters a shield law a federal shield law and she's got an interesting provision in that where you know you have to work for a standard paper and you sort of have to be a regular a journalist which leaves a lot of people out today because you have bloggers you have grand greenwald so for them so on and then she has a provision in there but the court is free to decide whether a particular person is a journalist who doesn't fit that first category you know and she's almost done in a way thinking about it with you in a sense what you've done. your language would be a little better but she's got this interesting idea if the judge feels as you do he can protect an act of journalism and i think that's the best part of the work she's done in this area all year because she's a real bear on this sort of stuff well unfortunately though leaving it up to a

i would argue the effects although not as spectacular were not nearly as devastating. and the sole proprietor terrorists do not leave the breadcrumbs. were you going to do watch every american's traffic? that may be a silly question with the nsa but we are hypersensitive and it is largely a reflection of political correctness as well. i may libertarian at heart i believe every man and woman is a child of god but if someone says to look for a greenmail six 1/6 inches the city left to figure that as to why go after because of you in search another random race krieger culture people are offended as if he did something wrong just because i am looking for someone that i know attends a certain religious facility doesn't mean anything we just follow the trail and it becomes more dangerous now because you get blanket surveillance with the nsa is silly and also blanket screening which is absurd. really? to esa? day you realize the economic productivity lost every year to screen 999 add of 1,000 people who did not even have a nail clipper? it is a waste. but the environment is a

i argue it's too simplistic to say. responds to me for the need of conservatives to adapt to political and social realities as well as wanting to increase mothers in the work force and running for office what can we make of this? mothers can be super if their conservative and meet certain standards. so as discussed, women can be supermoms if their identities as mothers is tantamount to their professional goals. power for its own sake is considered unfeminine but seeking elected office is not. running for office when you're the mother of five a acceptable but best accomplished with your husband's blessing. i want to note that in terms of constructing gender roles, maternal identities, the assertion that palin and bachmann also need to be feminine and atentative to their will of their families confirms something feminist implemented for sometime is that women who want to work outside the home they have to be presented as excellent mothers. second point is that women must work things out with private iesed solutions. there

hence my question to rick as a republican strategist of are they arguing for repeal or arguing for reformwhat's your assessment, jonathan? >> look, there are two huge problems for the republicans here in forming a battle plan to create an alternative. one is that the democrats took the big republican ideas and put them into obama care as you just noted. and then the second one is there's no agreement among republicans as to what replace would look like. what would you stand up in the place of obama care. and if you, in fact, got to that point where you started to detail it, i think you'd see a huge fracture in the republican party. right now from a political standpoint, the gop is doing well to stay together in terms of being in opposition to obama care. if it gets to the point where they have to be for something, i think you'll see the tensions and fractures come into the open. >> rick tyler, i'm again your candidate. and by the way, so far i don't feel like i'm getting elected. which of those proposals that we put on the screen would you advise me i should be supportive of? >> look, i'm

, were arguing for disinvestment.hat we did was simply put into legislative form the screams of the people in south africa who were feeling the pain and the activists in this country, coming out of the civil rights movement, who understood that pain and were willing to stand with them. so we said, how can you, from the outside, make such a tragic argument? it was the moral imperative that eventually overcame these folks. >> and what -- to what degree do you think divestment in those sanctions ended up being a tipping point in south africa? how important did it end up being, in conjunction with all the work that was, of course, being done by antiapartheid activists there and around the world? >> a german journalist came to washington, d.c. several years later, said that he had done a great deal of research. his research indicated that f edward and margaret thatcher had a conversation. edward said to her, what do you think i should do? and her response was, the vote passed two years ago, it passed again on a record vote

and you have argued that it leads them to some common ground with liberals. indeed, i think we can propose a superwoman of our own to enter that common ground. i cannot think of a better one than nancy pelosi. she is a liberal feminist superwoman, who was a devout catholic, a long-term marriage, has raised a large family. she, like sarah palin, also enjoys showing off her children and grandkids on the public stage, as if to say woman can have it all, perhaps in different stages. yet ideologically, nancy pelosi does not expect a single working class woman to provide for all of her own needs. she supports a variety of life options for all women and trust them to make individual decisions without big daddy government telling them what they can and cannot do. government in her hands is conceived of as a resource and a support for min -- four women and children, not a disciplinarian. if we expect women who do not have money or perfectly enabling families to be in the workforce, we must do this, provide this for them, or we are sacrificing the welfare of their chil

it argued that the level of sexualized unrealistic body images was so perfects vasive in french societyat it amounted to a quote form of violence against kids, one that not only objectifies girls, but causes them to judge themselves harshly. for example, according to the world health organization, 27% of 11-year-old european girls think they're too fat that percentage rises to 40% for 15-year-olds b. a quarter of those girls say they're now dieting. so her report comes out and it contains 12 different recommendations for how to protect kids. it would prohibit companies from using children as their spokes models. it would create a website that would name and shame companies that don't go along. and it would create an educational program for parents and it proposed banning those childhood beauty pageants, saying they offer quote a degraded or tarnished image of girls. the senator, who is not only a senator, but a 12-time karate champion and a former national minister for sports says she's not against competitions for kids. she just objects to ones that put a premium on their looks. >> thi

you argue just for the sake of arguing and you don't come to any resolution. you say that's one of the consequences of what happened. >> yeah. it's a great question. the short answer to this one is shorter, the one i just gave him the answer is yes. but in complicated ways. i mean, what i tried to do in the book is to suggest there are some very dramatic and deep consequences of things that happened a long time ago but the ways in which they have turned out to be is not a simple straight line. i will say this though, and abe it's a little bit more positive than what you suggested. in my experience almost everyone, even people who claim not to believe it's an absolute, if you really given the situation like that ask somebody to think under certain circumstances genocide is acceptable or selling 12-year-old girls into sexual slavery or having children tortured in front of their parents. i have never met somebody like that, thank goodness. those people, now i make the case obviously i'm choosing things that i'm hoping our way on the other side of the line. but i

and some members of the public i think they would argue that you didn't have to encourage that in the first place and my question to you is whether you are confident that the irish taxpayers won't be asked to carry it. as long in the question to me we can acknowledge the value judgment that's been made in relation to this that history will be able to tell if it's correct because what we can do is correctly acknowledge dot the irish tut's pay are paid far too high a cost for supporting the banking system now in relation to your question regarding the future what we hope is that what we want and we will press for is for the e. been an option for our country in dealing with this left this banking death but what i would have to say is we want this to be one of a number of options that we want to open to our government on the tax payers in the future can i just clarify you mentioned b. is sam as a mechanism yes so if for some reason the sound decides not to deal with the irish banks i confident that the irish taxpayers won't be asked again to hear how this recapitalization up their banks w

and you would argue that that is a global and iconic brand. >> it parallels very well for us. have a lot of popularity worldwide and it has been accentuated this fall with the emergence of our star rookie player. it extends our brand even further. >> give us an anecdotal example about how your rookie assists in your marketing strategy. how do you take advantage of that worldwide? >> the magnificent goal that hertl scored on october 8 had 5 million page views on our website the next day. it had the highest number of usage on nhl.com. you need a product that wins and plays well competitively. >> developing winning products has been a hallmark of silicon valley over the last two decades. the sharks have adapted well to the region's culture of innovation. is it fair to say that you grew up with silicon valley? >> we did grow up with silicon valley and we work well with them. we have a number of vibrant partners on the tech side who are sponsors of the sharks. companies like barracuda networks and the like. furthermore, our fan base is very sophisticated and they have for the most

to be transferred nor able to be tried there in this indefinite detention situation which i would argue is completely not in the constitution united states but this was set up under george w. bush it was inherited by president obama and congress was prevented from dealing with it in a way that i and many americans and the like to say to deal with that being put on trial because they're not allowing the one thing that they're sticking with us throughout allowing these people to come to the united states free to be imprisoned here or to be you know to stand for trial here so how can he really policy wise even get around that obstacle how would you be able to close i don't think he can i mean the congress has prevented it i mean president obama came in his very first years he's going to close guantanamo bay within a year and then congress passes legislation basically prohibiting him from doing so so for all the criticism of president obama for not shutting it down it really is congress is preventing him from doing that seems like it's going to be a huge sticking point well let's talk about

maybe maybe not some would argue some would argue no but today that's what it's doing with quantitative easing which i'm sure you're going to ask me about the future but. it just seems like you know we see this revolving door between industry and regulation all the time business and government but it just seems like the federal reserve is just so open and shut i mean you have bankers literally running this industry is directly directly influence is a lot of policies and government. does does other central banks and other world economies have similar collusion that we're seeing now or is it better because kind of i mean yes they do sometimes of worse sometimes much worse actually you know there's a whole country. that has an entirely public banking system so yes they have there are central banks have been around for as long as history has been around you know the roman empire had a central bank but the revolving door that you talk about it's like why is it only big heads of financial institutions that come to run the fed that's actually not always the case sometimes it's economists like

their case i can understand mr putin you know inviting the president of ukraine to russia to argue his case i just don't know what america's vital interests are america's interest is in this decision which belongs to the ukrainian people and ukrainian government and again i'm sure some people welcome senator mccain but i think doing this really enhances them and underscores the reputation unfortunate of the united states for interfering in people's affairs all over the world when there is no necessity or no right to do so but at the same time if people are out in the streets demanding and corruption war transparency respect for human rights i mean surely the united states is helpful to them no. well i think they're all to do that. i mean they have a perfect right to demonstrate their preferred perfect right to demonstrate against their government they have a perfect right to say we don't want to orient toward russia we would like to be part of the european union that's the right of the ukrainian people and we would certainly from the outside support that ride but the question is not wh

it is arguing about the terms, there is an air of congratulations. the gentlemen's agreement is rooted in an american exception laws and, how remarkable that we are able to and without massive executions. across the spectrum that impulse to self congratulations is present. even among people who in the next breath or audio with the terms really meant. my argument is nothing that will affect the alienable board. i know think one has to up throughout the old billboard so much as remember that the surrender was controversial. how could it not be? the road to true reconciliation was a very difficult one. to appreciate the meaning of surrendered we have to remember that they looked to lee and grant, the two most prestigious men in the country aside from lincoln. and after link in the two most prestigious. southerners and robin is look to these men to represent their respective causes for which so many people laid down their lives. they did not expect these meant to be slammed. they saw them as lions and assume that is what they would continue to be. they a
