i think as a general rule people didn't look at us as being young. my brother just turned 21, i just turned 18. >> we still look at you as young. >> we are young but we have a passion for what we're doing and spend time being committed to learning new things. we knew early on we didn't have the answers so we surrounded ourselves with people who can help us learn. >> let me ask rich's question in diverse, it does well and you sell it, or it doesn't do well, and you go work at google and now you are not in charge. most of the time when you're 18, 19 years old, you don't get to be in charge of the company, right? will you be able to handle that side of it? >> well, absolutely. what's most important is what you're bringing to the table. that's what it's all about, being a good team player. i have a certain amount of core values and way in which i do things and i'll take that with me and apply it to whatever position i'm in in the future. >> your product may be a good idea or not, we'll find out, but how did you go about acquiring the people to develop the

if you are afraid of them, as i said there are a lot of people that look at the face of crime as being young black and they are afraid of you as they set eyes on you. if that is the reason for the defense we are in real trouble. >> i agree with that. i think there is something fundamentally wrong with a justice system that allows george zimmerman to basically play the cop he always wanted to be but wasn't and to act like a vigilante, go after this guy who's unarmed, minding his own business and no harmful intent that we can deduce at all and ends up dead. i don't think you can be completely unaccountable for that. there has to be some form of justice for trayvon martin, doesn't it? >> absolutely. and you have to look at the fact, as well that george zimmerman has lied. george zimmerman has lied. he says trayvon martin reached for his gun, had his gun. he had to break -- but there is no dna from trayvon martin on the gun. if his head was banged on the concrete 25 times why only two band-aids to take care of the wounds. he got out of the car and supposedly put away his phone and was attacked b

young saying in tongues. that would be quite something. so here is brigham young as in 1840, a man full of spiritual fire and ecstasy who spoke in tongues, delivered sermons that even skeptical english audiences had a hard time ignoring. he was a man with hardly any education, with terrible handwriting, who nevertheless kept a diary and drafted long letters to fellow missionaries across england. but he was also at that time a very collegial leader, who massaged the egos of his fellow apostles and turned their respect. he worked with men whose literary talents far exceeded his own and he got along well with apostles whose evangelistic successes outpaced his. there is no sense that he was threatened by the potential rivals. in short, brigham young at the age of 40 was a man easy to admire and enjoy. and so, how do we get from that young, when some brigham young to the man who browbeat his fellow apostles into affirming his leadership seven years later? the next several years are the crux of the story, really the full prong of brigham young's life. young returned from e

one of the things that we had as a young man who is already being prosecuted was in the army, and stealing data. we have another one that stole data and my concern is not just with this collection data, but who can access it. what is disappointing is that the nsa never looked at the other case and cases that we need to change our policies. what happened to the military could happen to us. i pointed this out that this data, while you may want to safeguard it, i don't think we should be collecting it because other people may have easy access as it has been demonstrated twice within last year he won the idea that he would not want an essay to collect intelligence data information to protect the security of data that is not selected, it seems to me to be a bit of a stretch. this would impair and impede one of the most important intelligence agencies in the country from doing its job. by the way, the congress of the united states come in the senate of the united states, this checks off on each one of these programs that has been an issue because of the edward snowden leaks. our congress has bee

as a matter of principle. today they should split devotee difference and compromise every issue and perhaps there is something to be said about that but that isn't where lincoln would be. as a young man he was incredibly slashing and he would make people cry. there is something called the spinning of thomas where there was a debate between lamken and jessie thomas. lincoln imitated him, ridiculed him, and he left the stage in tears and he eventually apologized. he would write an honest newspapers just skating and ridicules people and he did it to the state auditor who found out that was lincoln i did this and he challenged. lincoln wasn't a natural and had no interest but he pretty much had to accept if you are going to save your honor he got to pick the weapon so he said we are going to do it with the calgary. that might seem like a ridiculous choice of weapons until you realize he had a foot long reach and someone afterwards said are you making fun of the whole thing and he said no i was worried he would shoot and kill me and it turned out that the dispute was at adjudicated in the dole didn't happen. but lincoln was a man that sort of partisanship was for his younger days but

as loving. if you think somebody hates you, everything they say will be interpreted as hateful. in a situation like this i can certainly understand why there is such divergent views and outrage. you have a young black male, walking home, not doing anything incorrect. he ends up killed and nobody suffers consequences. on the surface, that would appear to be a gross miscarriage of justice. however, one also has to integrate into that the fact that we have a legal system in which we appoint jurors and which they have access to all of the facts. we don't have access to all of the facts. they then make a judgment. it's not a perfect system. but it's the best system that we have. we have to decide whether we are willing to live with that or not. >> let me bring congresswoman edwards into the discussion. there was no evidence in the fbi discussion beforehand or oh in the trial, no evidence that george zimmerman killed trayvon martin because he was black. so was it constructive for the president to talk so much about race? >> i think it was. when i talk to my son who's 24 and to his peers, what they say is the president gave them their voice for their experiences. as the president described being fol

[chanting] a son.ve it is difficult because he already has dreams about it in dreams about the man following trayvon. he told me, mom, i saw him following trayvon. he has nightmares already. that is just a part of what we have to go through every single day. i don't think this country realizes what we go through as black people and how we feel every day and having our kids go out for you and we don't know if they're going to come home. i heart is broken. >> this could happen to anyone son whether you are asian, black, latino. sayingbout someone else their lives mean more than yours. >> i had a sickness in my gut. it felt like it was my son. i cried. my name is india and i'm here with my daughter kennedy. don't want her to think that all people are bad. there are some people out the

king says the activism going on in birmingham and the young women and men who are being arrested, sometimes as young as eight, nine, ten years old, are taking the nation back to the great worded of democracy by the founding fathers. king was being too kind because this country is founded on racial slavery. a conversation we still have not had. but 50 years ago with the march on washington provided was a litmus test for american democracy. when king speaks at the march on washington in 1963, he says americans of all colors and races have to struggle together, have to go to jail together, to try to fundamentally transform american democracy. 50 years later, and especially in the aftermath of barack obama's 2008 election we have celebrated an unearned victory, celebrated an unearned victory and talked about post racial america. celebrating the mythology of the end of racism and that's why people were surprised about trayvon martin. i'm heart 'ed the president spoke out yesterday, but he spoke and it and started to speak truth to power only because of the grassroots activism that forced him and co
