capital in 2012, i know you didn't personally criticize bain back then. but given the way that the democratic party went after bain during that race and the way that hillary clinton faced so much criticism from the left for her speeches to goldman sachs in 2016, did you have any reservations at all about joining bain after leaving the governor's mansion? >> no. first of all, we don't have a mansion but thank you for that. i'm just -- >> it's a metaphor, yeah. >> i know. no, you know, i've excuse me, many long time friends at bain capital, people i know to be highly honorable folks. mitt romney hasn't been there for decades now. and i am -- i describe myself as a capitalist. i'm not a market fundamentalist. i i don't think markets solve every problem just the right way. but i do believe in opportunity. i think we need an economy that is expanding and is expanding out so it reaches people on the margins, not just up so it's good for people who already have wealth and have -- just want more. and i think there's a right way and wrong way to do that. and i thi

with us in washington, bloomberg's ben bain. many are wondering, can he just tweet this in the middle of trading hours and does he have what he needs to back it up? ben: ultimately, the question, to your second point, does he have what he needs to back it up? the sec has been clear that companies or individuals can make announcements about material nonpublic information through social media, so, on its face, tweeting this out on twitter is not necessarily a violation. but the issue, as you talk to people, is really going to be does if the apps -- sec decide to look into this, is whether what he said is actually true. the tweet, funding secured. that says, funding secured. people are going to be wondering, what does that actually mean? does he indeed have what that tweet indicates? he double down -- doubled down on it later on tuesday, saying he did indeed have investors. we have to see how this plays out. it's going to come down to how sure was what he said at that time and how much did it actually reflect what the reality was.

like senator gillibrand, used to be a blue dog democrat, and senator cory booker, who has ties to bain capital and previously defended them, then you have kamala harris who was -- i think she has some ties to corporate issues in california, her background in law enforcement makes some of them was problematic for some other progressives out there. you have a group that is largely taking the same positions. so i think a great example of this is the refusal to take corporate money. elizabeth warren was first out there with that. she declared early that she was not going to take donations from corporations. then, you know, you had kirsten gillibrand many moons later come out with a very random facebook video where she said, i am not taking corporate contributions. so, cory booker not to be outdone, he must've been breathless, like, his people must've been running to get a video camera together. he gets other a couple hours later and says, i want either! -- i won't either! and kamala harris is on stage, this is a live stream on america for america rising that we were watching at a pretty sl

lyndon baines johnson died that day, and that really dominated the headlines. how long did it take the media to catch up with the importance of this story? clarke: it was on the front page of "the new york times," below the fold. johnson's death is the leading headline on january 23. but it was announced by walter cronkite. what is significant, i think, about the earlier media announcements is that the media almost consistently says that the right to abortion is limited to the first three months and we know that is inaccurate. that was the initial message the public got. we know that when you look at roe and doe together and you look at the viability rule in roe vs. wade, but dover's is bolton -- doe versus bolton looks at all factors, that unlimited health definition requires the states to perform abortion even after fetal viability. the press got it wrong and has continued to get it wrong. host: we always talk about the impact of the decision on the court and on society. we begin with harry blackmun talking about what public reaction was in his mailbag after

there were politicians wanting to come over, i am out of the military, they were the bain of our existenceongressmen and senators came in. we tried to push them off on the public affairs guys, and we could do that with most of them. they could go to some lesser known areas where fighting wasn't as intense or didn't exist at all. they could get their visit in for a day or two, meet their constituents, go home, speak on sunday morning talk shows, say how they had been to iraq. but not mccain. i tried to persuade my bosses at the time not to let him come to the north because we were in pretty tough combat in mosul, and i guess that word got back to him. first thing he said as he got off the c-130 as he landed at mosul airport, they said he is coming, you have to take him for a couple of days. first thing he said to me, i hadn't met him or seen him since 2004, probably didn't know who the hell i was either, he said so general, i understand you didn't want me to come to mosul. it puts you on your heels a bit. i am stumbling, saying no, sir, it is not that, i think i said it is a little sporty o

we caught up with bloomberg's max chafkin and ben bain.he question -- did musk's tweet violate sec fair disclosure rules? max: the sec has been kind of clear that companies or individuals can make announcements about material, nonpublic information through social media. so on its face, tweeting this out on twitter is not necessarily a violation. but the issue, as you talk to people, is really going to be about if the sec decides to look into this -- and we do not know if they will or are going to -- is whether what he says was actually true. if the funding is secured. that said, funding is secured. so people will be wondering, what does that actually mean, and does he indeed have what that tweet indicates? he doubled down on it a few hours later on tuesday, saying that, indeed, he did have investors. so i guess we're going to have to see how this plays out. but it will come down to how sure was what he said at that time, and how much did that actually reflect what the reality was? emily: he did double down, saying, quote, investor support

its official name is bureau of refugees, freed men and bain doned land. a federal agency that oversees the transition from slavery to freedom in the south. not just there to protect the rights of folks but giving food, shelters opening up hospitals and sometimes schools, too, to southern whites. but it was for trade by this awful reach by most white southerners, that the federal government was only helping black people. actually, they were doing a whole lot of things. they ended up being identified mainly with the freed people, the freed man's bureau. this a contemporary illustration of the freedman's bureau. this has two views of the bureau. but what does this tell you? here is a man, in a uniform. he could be a freedman bureau's agent or a union army person that they relied on. what does this tell you about the role of freedman's bureau in the post-civil war south? any takers? ryan? sorry, tasha. i'll let her speak first. >> kind of talking about the division between the black and the while, keeping the peace for the most part because there is no other

president lyndon baines johnson signing the civil rights act. and you can see it is primarily a room full of men. mona charen. guest: right, so i want to make two points. first, the women were included in the civil rights act, so sex was added to the civil rights act so that all of the rights guaranteed under that act it was very clear applied to women as well. but this comment that you hear so often, that women did not have any rights, she said it on the tape and you heard it a lot and you still do, that women didn't receive the right to vote until the 1920's and therefore they had no rights. well, that's absolutely not true. i mean the fact is, if a woman were accused of a crime, she had the right not to incriminate herself. she had the right to a trial by jury. she had the right to speak, the right to practice her faith. she had all the rights that are guaranteed in the bill of rights to all american citizens. there was never a sense, even though there is no equal rights amendment, there is never a sense that those rights were meant to apply
