my daughter is sloan ashby thor. i get uncomfortable questions where people will say you think jason sloan or what ever look up. i could just not right that. just getting together. there is a lot of things and there were many things i do intentionally. i almost named a polish character in this book after the polish king. it is an interesting part of history. i'm dealing with questions about maintaining western civilization and things like that. the critical point in european history. and that can be a little too heavy-handed. i appreciate that you caught a subtle one. not as nice to know that people appreciate that. oftentimes they do have meaning. john is in washington and you are on book tv. my question to you is my father was a pow mia in siberia russia during world war ii. his plane was shot down. and for 50 years was top secret my question to you is would it be a good idea to have a co-author to help write the story. and my father's crew was the windy city. .. .. they end up in siberia and her dad is a pilot. so

representative lisa blunt-rochester, my colleague in the house, but first we'll hear from jacquelin ashbyan who met joe biden in the most unexpected place, the elevator where she worked. >> i take powerful people up on my elevator all the time. when they get off, they go to their important meetings. me, i just head back to the lobby. but in the short time i spent with joe biden, i could tell he really saw me. that he actually cared. that my life meant something to him. and i knew, even when he went into his important meeting, he'd take my story in there with him. that's because joe biden has room in his heart for more than just himself. we've been through a lot and we have tough days ahead, but nominating someone like that to be in the white house is a good place to start. that's why i nominate my friend joe biden as the next president of the united states. >> i'm senator chris coons from delaware, a small state where people expect to see their senators and even sometimes their vice president at the supermarket, at a church festival, out in their community. joe fights for us because he kn
