it was an uplifting thought for aristotle and plato. what about jean -- niche explored the dark side of human nature and some have said that he was the inspriation for the rise of the nazis. and robert camu, the's citizenali citizenalicitize stallism. camu was a great one, along with kirkguard, and then there was john locke, john locke who believed in the goodness of man. and some would say that john locke had a very profound influence during the writing of the constitution and the declaration of independence. so those philosophers have always stood out for me. but i also have studied the theologians. st. augustine. let me tell you what i know best about st. augustine. augustine knew he had to turn himself over to god, but he said, not now, god, i'm going to have fun and not battle with you. and he became one of the gre greatest saints of the history of the world. and st. thomas equinus for the young people here tonight, we need faith, not just blind faith, but faith and reason can help human beings chart a course for a better tomorrow.

they knew who aristotle was, they knew who cicero was, that's important? >> what the greeks did and the romans followed them, they were the first ones to ask questions that would lead to comprehension of the laws of nature and nature's god. the questions that socrates asked the greek is ti este, what is a thing in its essence? what is a human being. you can't understand the declaration of independence until you understand this conception of human equality that we'll talk about. that means that everything that is a human being is a human being and not another kind of being and has to be treated like a human being. and so and that starts with greek philosophy. mark: human beings are different than any othering. >> courses. the very famous letter, important letter he wrote before he died, he died on the 50th birthday of the declaration of independence, thomas jefferson, writes to a n named whiteman. somewhere notorn with saddles on their backs, nor others booted and spurred them to ride them by the grace of god. men cannot be ruled the way horses can be ruled

it was an uplifting thought for aristotle and plato, or how about jean jacques rusteau. the under pinning of the revolution. and how about nicha, some argued he was an inspiration for the rise of the nazis. and albert camu, the existentialist. if i were to go around the theater tonight. and say what is the definition of existentialism, i don't think we could reach a point where we would agree. camu was a great one. along with kirkguard and john lock who believed in natural law. ... let me tell you what i like best about augustine. augustine knew that he had to turn himself over to god, but he said, not yet, because i'm having too good of a time, and i don't want to cut my fun time short by having to follow you. and it was a battle of his wills where he finally became one of the greatest saints in the history of the world. and then there was thomas aquinas. and thomas aquinas, st. thomas aquinas was a man who said for the young people to be here tonight, faith and reason, they're inseparable. not just faith, blind faith, and not just reason as we saw from philosophers, bu

we use the same techniques as aristotle and hitler we appeal to people on an emotional level to get them to agree on a functional level then there's lord ivor mountbatten. a direct descendant of queen victoria third cousin of queen elizabeth the second and a member of a sales advisory board according to bloomberg we also have roger dad who's listed as the company's director. a former british special forces officer turned millionaire roger gabbed has donated around seven hundred thousand pounds to the conservative party over the last decade however it is important to note that in the wake of the scandal reports have surfaced that his involvement in s.c.l. and it last year and last but not least there's julian wieland chairman of the. head of the two thousand and fifteen general election we posted a photo of him campaigning with then prime minister david cameron perhaps unsurprisingly his twitter accounts been unavailable since last week now all of these names are likely to be just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to connections between sci. well and the british political establishment

we use the same techniques as aristotle and hitler we appeal to people on an emotional level to get them to agree on a functional level if you take a look at the key figures at s.c.l. you can't miss the connections between the company's board and britain's political military and even royal establishment first there's their c.e.o. nigel oakes. ochs comes from a military family and is one of the company's founders he made headlines back in the eighty's during his reported courtship of lady helen windsor the daughter of one of the queen's cousins he once said this about his work before his time at s.c.l. there's lord ivor mountbatten. a direct descendant of queen victoria third cousin of queen elizabeth the second and a member of a sales advisory board according to bloomberg we also have roger dad who's listed as the company's director. a former british special forces officer turned millionaire roger gabbed has donated around seven hundred thousand pounds to the conservative party over the last decade however it is important to note that in the wake of the scandal reports have surfaced that

richard nixon was elected in one nine hundred sixty eight yale began admitting women jackie married aristotle onassis charlie chaplin and helen keller died and celine dion and will smith were born gas was thirty four cents a gallon movie ticket was a buck fifty and the minimum wage was a buck sixty meg donald's introduced a big mac. forty nine cents president johnson signed the civil rights act fifty years after dr king's death and the one nine hundred sixty eight that makes twenty eight teams seem calm by comparison where are we. let's ask attorney professor activist minister and former minneapolis and the president and the chemo levy pounds welcome back. thanks for having me fifty years after dr king what is better now. well i would say that a number of things are better if you look at the situation that was occurring in the south prior to the start of the civil rights movement there were jim crow laws in place that prevented african-americans from being able to access certain facilities to certain restaurants to drink at any water fountain they wanted to or even to use the restroom where t

are we talking perhaps about a lost manuscript penned by aristotle ever since the charter pirates were found in her colonial researchers have been a great pains to make them legible in the nineteenth century a librarian invented a machine designed to carefully open the rolls at a rate of four millimeters a week but it took a scientist from another field that of optical equipment to come up with a better idea vito much l.-a from naples bombarded the pirates rolls with x. rays from a particle accelerator to obtain spectacular images from inside them. we know there are. many many interesting things in the northeast and in this for about. six weeks long. news along the lines of this version. it was reported in the world's press that marcela had managed to decipher individual letters inside the preponderance rolls but the manuscripts had by no means become legible it is above all else you. need to amaze it by. finally war. on the flies. yes and try to. follow the surface. peter much alan has tried to isolate individual letters on the last of the pirates more clearly in order to obtain furth

the american people may not read aristotle every day but they're smart.hey will figure it out. >> as you're aware, some of your colleagues floated the idea of passing legislation to protect the special counsel from any potential decision by the froze fire him. would you support such legislation? >> number one, i don't know fits constitutional. if president trump issued an executive order tomorrow telling the united states senate to take kennedy off the appropriate rag, the appropriations committee, i'm not sure it's constitutional. i don't know if we can tell him who to fire or not. there's no indication to me that he is going to fire mueller. he's shoothd some tweets but you have to watch what politicians do, not what they say. >> speaking of the investigation, in court documents we learned about this week, the mueller team revealed that trump's former deputy campaign manager rick gates was working with, and with knowledge, he was working a former russian intelligence agent during the 2016 campaign. is that acceptable in your view? does it raise larger q

so let us quote aristotle, nature is a vacuum and the vacuum is filled by rod rosenstein who appointedr and for a year trump has been sending out a cloud of insults, like mr. mcgoo, disgraceful, idiot, disappointed, weak, very weak, beleaguered, very unfair, extremely unfair. that is not just a set of insults, though. that is now, we understand, and you can take it in there, all these things that donald trump has said about jeff sessions, not so much for what he's done, but for what he chose not to do which is intervene politically in the russia probe. now the white house adds to this very big cloud that's under investigation by saying trump won't even guarantee that he won't still try to fire this man jeff sessions. i'm joined now by caroline frederickson, attorney and president of the american constitution society. and full disclosure, someone who was my boss over 15 years ago. i appreciate you coming on the show. >> it's always a pleasure, ari. >> caroline, your view of the legal import of the souring of this relationship? >> i think donald trump should not worry so much about mr. m

and aristotle called these f as, path as, and lowing gos. three forms of proof, really, that a political receiptor rition uses every time he attempts to influence an audience. the first is ethical proof, meaning what is the character of the speaker? what does the audience think about the speaker and how does he use the audience's per sechti -- perception help him in his endeavor? rhetoric political speeches always about more than the argument, it's about the character of the person making the argument, is he believable? does he reach you? and that leads to the second characteristic, passion. what passions in the audience does the speaker appeal to? what does he -- how does he attempt to play upon and to win the audience's trust in him and to move their emotions in the direction of his arguments? and argument reason is the third character. you've got proof from character, the proof from passions, and the proof from reason. so as i say, something very briefly about each of these in connection to president trump. so, first i would say, although

reading something than making a connection between another class or say that reminds me of aristotle or if you read came to think of hayek. that is what we were doing today in class and that was fun. so that is the education i think is important and that matters for history science and education it is across the curriculum to empower students to research and follow what is important in that cap there is no national education with that curriculum? >> here is the dilemma minimum standards say that the kids are reading more on track? any animal definition will be incredibly controversial. two examples. the waldorf method it is time if they learn to read at seven or eight. golf says it is much more important to understand symbolism and use their hands before they read. if you just come up with a national test we are doing minimal things to be on track reading them basically you say that method can't work that those kids will be published the no local school can do that method so the point is the basic minimum is still a subject of dispute. also from issue is one of the controversies of c
