the founder of c-span brian lamb is going out like a lion.e has some parting tough shots for political washington, the city in which he turned a unique concept into a main stay of america media. analyst and folks of fox news "media buzz" howard kurtz on lamb's final and early days. >> brian lamb had a revolutionary idea 40 years ago. raise money from cable companies to televise what congress does. minus the usual pundits. >> we don't offer any on-air analysis. no ads, no personalities, no ratings. >> there were some growing pains. >> i apologize for the mishap there. seems like this building is old and they will be rebuilding it. >> the day the senate goes on television, what do you think? >> i'll hold my breath for a while. mixed feelings. >> the c-span founder made sure ordinary citizens could weigh in. >> tom, new york, bill in washington state, a democrat. >> we created a morning show at c-span as a result of frankly me and others growing up having sixth avenue in new york and abc, nbc and cbs talk at us and never letting anybody talk bac

brian lamb knows me. hope you have a healthy day. host: let's go to rudy in california.ood morning. caller: good morning. i agree with you as an old black liberal that colleges should allow people to speak. i have called colleges to allow that here in california. now my only problem is about the conservatives is they don't have enough african-americans representations in their ranks. i realized there's only a certain amount of chairs at the table but if the republican party looked a lot more like the country as a whole i think they would have a better shot. they only have those complex republicans in all of the congress on the conservative side so i would like to find out what's that problem with conservatives bringing an african-american politicians. thank you very much mr. smith. >> thank you and that's an amazing question. i definitely agree. and the republican party have a branding problem. we really do. i think part of what i'm trying to do is be one of the people that can change that. when you look at how many blacks are represented in the republican ranks compared

they should get brian lamb one of those medals of honor from the president. host: they already did. presidenteive it from bush, george w. busch. you can go to our website and you can see the honor there. mr. sandick, go ahead and respond to the caller. guest: sure. i mean, i think the caller points out a lot of public reporting about different issues. why did flynn lie to the f.b.i., about his call with russian state figures at the of december of 2016 saying he wasn't talking about sanctions and he was? why was there maybe inaccurate testimony from jeff sessions before a senate employee in response to some questions to now former senator franken? the truth is we really don't know. the mueller report probably makes sense or at least tried to lay out what the evidence is and then explains whether it can provide some animating principle, some context by these things when you look up in the sky at night and you see stars. but only sometimes can you see a constellation of stars that actually looks like something. and that's essentially what a prosecutor is trying to do. you look at the e

she will be joined by brian lamb, founder and executive in moderating an esteemed group of historians discussing the american presidency. the american presidency is as you know a fascinating subject of inquiry in every possible way. in the constitution there is not as much said about it as you might imagine. article 1 is quite long, article 2 much shorter, the key phrase in it is about as short as you can possibly imagine. the executive power shall be vested in a president of the united states of america. that's the first sentence in the key phrase in the second article of the constitution, which describes the presidency. much of what we know today as the american presidency has come from experience from precedent, from action. we are thrilled to have an eaopportunity to learn about th experience, that action, tonight from a group of wonderful historians that i'd like to tell you little about tonight. joining mr. lamb and mrs. wayne will be joined by douglas brinkley, edna greene medford, and richard norton smith. doctor brinkley is currently professor of history at rice university, p

i love brian lamb and what he has done and very sad he is retiring.ost: he is not retiring, he is not just -- just not going to do q and day -- q&a.\ caller: i am bummed about that. whether the earth is warming or cooling or how fast it is changing, i think we can have a debate. i think where we should not be debating is that humans are probably having a detrimental effect on the planet. i think you can stand over a highway bypass and take deep breaths and feel that. you can look at the effects of smog on other countries and you can look at coal plants and feel smog in different parts of this country. i think there is no debate we are having an effect on the planet. it's not whether doom is right around the corner or never going to come, but i think we should be talking about, we should protect the environment, but how fast should we do that? should we not care because it will be my children's children who bear the brunt of it? or should we do nothing because we do not want to burden different socioeconomic classes or professions or take people's cars

and brian lamb as well. shout out to everything he has done.uestion in reference to what is for trying toegy separate the extreme factions, the most extreme factions within both sides of the spectrum from the people that are in the middle? i preface that by saying when it seems like it has been effective in communities where you separate the factions that lay on the outskirts and have the most extreme ideology, it seems like sometimes the strategy has to be to pull away or find a way to drive division between those groups and the groups that are somewhat on the fence. i wonder what the tactics are. we saw h.r. mcmaster did that very well in iraq. that was one of the reasons he was brought into the administration. i am curious on your thoughts on the best way to move forward in making that delineation. host: thank you. we appreciate the call. we will send your best wishes to brian lang. guest: i think the viewer makes a lot of great points. getting to the point and what is the best strategy, this boils down to what is happening on the ground lev

thank you so much for c-span and brian lamb.ithout you guys, we would not have our finger on the pulse of democracy, the service you provide every day is phenomenal. thank you so much. remember everyone that the electoral college has rendered our vote for president pretty much neutered. my vote for president is irrelevant, this state is dyed voting i have been mickey mouse for a long time, it doesn't make any difference. the only opinions that really matter in all of this are about 90,000 people who don't care and are not even paying attention who live in three rustbelt states. reach going to basically those people, he can reach those people better than any other candidate that is running. basically, i think it is going to be joe and harris. i think that combination together is the old and the new together, i think the man has a really good chance. also, appealing to the fact that fairresident, by any broker, has behaved in a racist and bigoted manner, that will appeal to a lot of us who think people ought to be judged by the co

five days in a row for you, good wonyou, i hope that you the bet and brian lamb gives you a raise annapany car. ash and a company car. host: i will play this for him later. we will go to joe. caller: greta, love c-span. i have been calling the network 40 years. i think trump is the greatest leader in history. i am a big stockmarket man, my stock portfolio has done great, disney hit a new high. people from all over the country are coming up to me and saying joe, we support trump. i am so fired up about trump, i have a hard time sleeping at night. i am going to run to the polls and cast my vote for donald john trump and our great senator david alfred produce. --perdue. host: maryland governor larry hogan is testing the waters and he is a popular governor. he ranks second among the nation's governors as the most popular. he was in new hampshire recently, earlier this week, where he is considering a bid, obviously new hampshire is second in the country to vote and here is what he had to say about the need for a primary challenge against the president.

call.you for taking my longtime viewer, way back with brian lamb. would like to ask the question to the viewers what would jesus do, and if you put jesus' teachings to work, would he lie, would he commit false witness, like trump has? what he commit adultery, like trump has? would he steal? would he covet? it says in the good book that it is easier for a rich man to get into the kingdom of heaven as it is for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle. and it also says "render to caesar what is caesar's." in trump's evasion of taxes, that is an impeachable offense right there. dous called for people to for others, to do for the least of these. i think of jesus were here merican refugees, and he would be doing for the least of these, not for giving tax breaks to the rich and not for protecting donald trump's rear end, but he would be doing the christian thing, and i have got to quote one more thing. it is not from the bible, but easter weekend, and one of the previous viewers, oh, hez, when trump was elected, called c-span, and he said "i know tru

my name is brian hernandez, and in 1961, i went to britain school, and i was for bidden to speak spanish. the only song i remember the teacher teaching us is mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb. and that's what we were taught going to bryan school. and then, as i grew up and got mentored by cesar chavez and everybody, i became a community organizer, and i worked on a statewide initiative to get bilingual education in our schools. because when i went to school, i got suspended for speaking spanish in school. and that was here in san francisco. in 1992, when arlene ackerman was the superintendent of public schools, she came to my house for breakfast and says, what should i do to fix the schools? and i said let's take a walk after breakfast to flynn elementary school which at that time was primarily black and african american and latino and black kids. i said the majority of these kids are late to school, there's no p.t.a. why don't we start a dance program, and have the kids come out in carnival every year. we did, and since then, we've worked with over 9,000 children. i've seen these children in the parade. they start off with first grade -- we have
