what we have to aspire to.: joining us now is the former new york city police commissioner and the former corrections commissioner. appointed as the interim minister of iraq. it's good to have your. >> thank you. lou: your reaction to a mayor who said straight up that the nypd, new york's finest are racist? >> it's disappointing. the cops and the city go out every day and do their job, one that most people wouldn't have the courage to do. they respond to calls of violence 24 hours a day and they never ask what the race of the suspect is where the victim, they go out and they do their job and they do it better than anybody in this country, putting their lives on the line. from january to october there's been over 240,000 arrests in the city. and we had flipped the city upside down and turned every cop into a racist over one incident in which there's not one shred of evidence. the guy's daughter herself said that it's not racist. it's not about that. lou: it is stunning to hear the mayor talk like this. 35,000 fo

what about her political aspirations. >> is there anything she can't do? i love her because when she used to visit capitol hill, she was so discrete about it, she just wanted to meet in private with members of congress and she really gets stuff done. she has the power to persuade because she deeply believes in it. she puts her money where her mouth is, she actually goes there and works there. as much as i would like to see her run, i think she's doing a great job not being down there. >> she's really got a sense of politics, she understands the process really well and i think she could run and win. >> you point out that they were very active post katrina in the new orleans area. >> in louisiana, they did a lot of work to rebuild housing there. for this movie, this movie is based on a true story about a world war ii warrior, veteran, prisoner of war. it was definitely my favorite book of the last several years and it might even get me to go to a movie theater. >> you live right next to one. >> you live rig. >> we have voted for other actors and actresses, i

growing group of northern black activists who sought not only to end slavery but also to advance the aspirations of black people throughout the united states. it may well have been the most offensive phrase and the one that had the most galvanizing effect on a segment of the population in the history of the supreme court. in 1858, a year after the issuing of tawney's opinion at the suffrage convention of the colored citizens of new york, african-american leaders made clear exactly what they thought of tawney's opinion. playing off tawney's language, they held that, quote, the dred scott decision is a foul and infamous lie which neither black men nor white men are bound to respect. the assembled delegates expressed particular outrage at tawney's interpretation of the declaration of independence, the idea that blacks had not been included in the political community at the time of the founding and that, therefore, the government of the united states was a white man's government. the delegates announced, "we, therefore, call upon all who subscribe to the theory of human rights set forth in the decla

it looks at the issue of the right of return for refugees, it also looks at the issue of the aspirations of east jerusalem as the capitol for the palestinian state. still, we've been speaking to people on the streets to gauge their opinion of the resolution in its current form. here's what people told us. >> for more than 25 years, this is a jewelry business. these pen dance are shaped by hand into the borders of historic palestinian. most have given up any future state will ever look like this, but many want israel to withdraw from territories it seized in the 1967 war. so does president abbas, asking the u.n. security council to set a time line for the israel government to return to those lines. he is not convinced that will ever happen. >> israel wants palestinian to be in little bits and pieces. i can't make a map of that. i just can't make a pendant small enough for what the israelis want for us. >> the plan by abbas angered the israeli government. prime minister benjamin netanyahu condemned the proposal, which is in part by abbas is seeking the resolution at the u.n. security counc

first of all of the chief justice's reputation speaks to the depth of the revolutionary events and aspirationsf the day. slavery, a 250-year-old institution on north american soil, went down to defeat on the battlefield of the civil war, and along wit its most prominent judicial defender. these were revolutionary times. third and finally, the story of taney's rapidly declining reputation reveals something about black agency and activism, about the extent to which african-americans shaped the ]1n times. now, of course the fact of war was the driving force in bringing about emancipation, but it was african-americans themselves who were fleeing to federal military lines. it was african-americans who always focused on the rights portion of the dred scott decision, who always drew their inspiration from the "all men are created equal" language of the declaration of independence, and who always pushed the debate forward to emancipation, yes, but beyond to the rights of black people in the republic. the arguments of white, radical republicans like sumner, wade, ellis, and stevens owed a great deal to
