brooke supported him.e thought that nixon would be a little more progressive on integration than nixon ended up being but nixon showed the southern strategy for him which was his strategy where he played to write -- white racial fears, that was not just a temporary electoral strategy to get elected. it was also a way of governing for nixon. he showed that with us for supreme court nominees where he nominated clement haynesworth who was infamous in the leaders of prince edward county virginia and the leaders of prince edward county. >> host: they close the schools rather than to integrate them. >> guest: they close the schools rather than to integrate them and they decided any judicial decision and after haynes was nomination was defeated nixon offered in great part due to ed brooke standing on the tenth floor and saying this person does not have a record to equal rights, a record that turned equal rights respectable and that is why we should vote him down. they did vote down haynesworth. and then the secon

ed brooke looked through carswell's rulings and ed brooke was so prepared of weeks about the carswellmination, which angered, ed brooke's silence a good many into congressional caucus that he eventually came around and he stood upon the senate for and he said this guy is a segregationist, and he showed all of carswell's declarations, personal declarations, and his rulings on the bench. eventually carswell was voted down as well. in no small part due to the work by ed brooke. >> host: no more russian how he valued blacks, brooks was. >> guest: when he came into the senate there was a lot of question about what kind of african-american is ed brooke. >> host: the interesting thing is what your book reminds me of is the closeness, the proximity of the civil rights movement and the race movement to the expansion of liberty and civil rights to other groups. for example, who did nixon the point when both haynesworth and the carswell went down? who did he avoid? >> guest: so haynesworth and carswell were both voted down, and nixon nominated harry blackmun from minnesota and one from minnesota

in no small part due to the work by ed brooks. >> host: no question about how black ed brook was. >>est: this was part of it. when he came into the senate there was a lot of question about what kind of african-american was ed burke. >> host: the interesting thing is what your book reminds me of is the closest in the proximity of the civil rights movement in the race movement to the expansion of liberty and civil rights to other groups for example. who did nixon appoint when hollingsworth and cause well went down. who do you appoint? >> guest: haynesworth and cause lower both voted down in nixon -. >> host: who was a conservative. >> guest: who was a conservative bent supported unanimously by the senate and wrote the majority opinion in roe v. wade which nixon did not see that coming. this was also a problem for broke after roe v. wade was decided in 73. burke came out for a woman's right to choose. he supported roe v. wade in this heavily catholic state of massachusetts. that was 73 and a night in 74 is one school busing began in massachusetts. burke had to deal with being a liberal

i'm brooke baldwin. a community is frustrated, angry, and the reason why may be a theme that you've heard before. african-american man shot and killed by a white police offi r officer, the district attorney goes before the cameras to say he won't be filing charges for use of excessive force. not talking about new york, not talking about ferguson. i'm talking about milwaukee, wisconsin. he was shot more than a dozen times by an officer who was responding to a call of a man sleeping in a public park. now yesterday, the d.a. announced there will be no charges here that the officer did, indeed, act in self-defense. in quote, that defense cannot be reasonably overcome. as there always is, there are many, many layers here to the story. so for that, all the complications, let me bring in cnn's george howell and george, you are there in milwaukee. you sat down with this young man's mother. what is she saying? >> well, brooke, like you said, many layers to this story. a lot of details that we will sort through in

>> absolutely, brooke. this is a seemingly huge breach in airport security at atlanta hartsfield jackson international airport. the busiest in the country. so many people fly through here, especially around the holidays. here's what happened. a man named eugene harvey. he was an employee, a baggage handler with delta. and authorities say he was able to smuggle guns into the airport through an employee entrance where there was no screening. once he was inside, he met up with another man, mark quinton henry who did go through screening because he had a ticket to fly. and the two of those men would meet in the terminal in a bathroom and exchange the guns, and then henry got on a plane and flew from atlanta to new york. this happened 20 times between may and december. and the reason they got caught is because henry was then selling these guns on the streets in new york, and he didn't know this, but he was selling to a man who was selling to an undercover police officer. and authorities were able to track the sc

brooke?jim clancy, what about all of those, you know, rich oligarchs whose fortunes are taking a hit? what about the possibility they get together and, i don't know, buy some people off and something happens to putin? throwing it out there. >> you get to be a rich oligarch in russia today by being friends with vladimir putin, not by competing with hill. and that's shown that's what happens. this is guy formally with the kgb. he knows how to keep his own house in order. he's going to continue with the populism. i think the real risk some people fear is he might do something on the international political stage to, you know, to bring attention away from russians and a more painful economy. so that's one thing we're going to keep our eye on. >> all right. jim clancy, good to see you. >>> we have more on our breaking news here. a warning to moviegoers from hackers about this controversial comedy called "the interview." but all of this is unfolding as former employees are now suing sony over this

i'm brooke baldwin here.g what interrogators did in their attempt to break down terrorism suspects. the torture includes sexual threats, waterboarding, sleep deprivation, and the political fallout is definitely rolling in. with me now here onset, gloria borger, and our chief congressional correspondent, dana bash. gloria, to you first. we know this whole thing, this is feinstein and the democrats, and then you have the republicans who fervently disagree of the release of this with the asterisk footnote john mccain today. >> well, you know, john mccain today came out and said, i thought quite eloquently that this is a really hard pill to swallow. and to those people who this is going to give isis another excuse to behead americans. he said they don't need another excuse. this is, you know, this is what they do. but he believes that torture is the wrong thing and it's ineffective. so what you have here is not only a political argument, brooke, but it's two different world views. is torture effective? or is it i

". >> host: arthur brooks, where did the phrase "gross national happiness" come from? [laughter] >> guest: the phrase comes from the government of bhutan, i should say the king of bhutan about 30 years ago realized that a process of development, of economic development, was great. it would pull millions of people out of poverty. people wouldn't starve to death, but it wasn't enough for human flourishing. so instead of counting narrowly the amount of money people had per capita, he had the idea of trying to measure the amount of happiness. he started an index called gross national happiness. that's where the expression comes from. >> host: and what did he find? >> guest: he found that a lot of

listen to what cornell brooks said. >> i believe dr. carson, with all due respect, should stick to the operating room rather than the campaign trail. these are the facts. we have a criminal justice system that overincarcerates and undereducates, broadly speaking. the facts are african-american males are overincarcerated. >> you want to react to cornell brooks? >> well, i always find it interesting that people think that doctors only know medicine. and i like to point out the fact that there were five doctors who signed the declaration of independence, three who signed the constitution, signed the bill of rights, have been involved in lots of things. believe it or not, doctors actually have brains, too, and can think about things and can opine on things and have been trained to make decisions based on evidence as opposed to ideology. so i am very happy that we all have the ability to express our opinions. >> do you want to be president of the united states? >> well, i'm not sure that anybody wants to put themselves into that kind of horr

and brook, we're seeing more protester in more cities. some people suggesting this is a turning point for the country. we will see. and we will come back to you, brooke baldwin, live there in new york city. many thanks to you for that. >> and the big thing that we keep seeing from this is that it's not just this one incident. it wasn't just about michael brown. this doesn't seem to just be about eric garner. but this kind of nationwide response of the relationship between police and the people they're supposed to protect. even in phoenix, arizona, a place i know well, there was a shooting of an unarmed black man by a white police officer, a fatal one. people were protesting there today. so this has really struck a nerve. >> eric garner, ferguson, and what happened in cleveland, those are the three big high-profile ones that have really triggered this. and we're really seeing such a shift across this nation. >> all over the u.s. >> we'll see what happens with it. but also just ahead, a typhoon bears do unon the philippines. >> that's right

you're watching cnn, i'm brooke baldwin.ba legend charles barkley speaking his mind about the grand jury's decision in ferguson and the fallout. in an interview with the philadelphia radio station, barkley says too many people are not reading the facts, not reading the testimony presented to the grand jury. he explains why he is not willing to immediately judge the ferguson police or discredit the grand jury decision. >> i'm not saying who is right or who is wrong. i'm just hearing the true story that came out of the grand jury investigation. i know i'm black. but i'm going to try to be honest and fair. we have to be really careful with the cops, man. if it wasn't for the cops, we'd be living in the wild, wild west in our neighborhoods. we can't pick out certain incidents that don't go our way and act like the cops are all bad. i hate when we do that. because, think about it, do you know how bad some of these neighborhoods would be if it wasn't for the cops? listen, first of all, it's always great to play monday morning quar

and prook, brook, in fairness, there are plaque people out -- brooke, if in fairness, there are black people out there who are crooks. and the only time that the cops come into your neighborhood is when things are going wrong. and that is the only time ta we interact with the cops. and we, we as black people, we have a lot of crooks. we can't just wait until something like this happens. we have to look at ourselves in the mir roshgs and there is a reason that they racially profile us in the way they do. sometimes it is wrong, and sometimes it is right. aed on the say that with we don't have any responsibility is disingenuous o. >> and how can the president help this? the first african-american president, and he held meetings at the white house, and should he be going to ferguson? >> no. that is another thing that an y annoys me about this whole sich way, brooke. every time something happens in the black community, we have the same cast of sad character, and we don't have to have al sharpton go there and i'm not disparaging mr. krunk, because of what happened in florida with trayvon's

i'm brooke baldwin. eric garner's daughter speaking here at cnn says race was not a factor in her father's death at the hands of a white police officer. i want you to watch what she told my colleague, don lemon. >> are you saying this is not an issue of race? do you think it's a racial issue? >> i really doubt it. it was about the officer's pride. it was about my father being 6'4" and 350 pounds and he wanted to be, you know, the top cop that brings this big man down. >> bring in carl jones, he's executive producer and head writer of "black dynamite" he's also co-executive producer of "the boonedocks." how are you doing? >> doing good. >> eric garner's daughter said it was less about race and more about use of power and police brutality. do you agree with that? >> i look at the history of this country and i look at the pattern and obviously it's a repeat pattern. i think a lot of it has to do with the dehumanization of black men in this country. i think that can be largely contributed to social engineeri

ethan jones is live and lori siegal is in times square and we begin with brooke baldwin in downtown new york. what is the mood and how many are gathering where you are? >> it is -- it has grown in number, erin. i would definitely estimate, i'm surrounded 360 degrees by hundreds and hundreds of people. let me tell you what has happened right now. so we have gone from the heart of where city government is here in downtown manhattan and we started walking past the police headquarters and everyone was headed toward the brooklyn bridge. we got right here which is where you would begin walk ago cross the brooklyn bridge and on the other side of the massive crowds, no one is moving because the police are not allowing these people to cross the bridge. i'm standing up here on my tiptoes to try to see. i see dozens and dozens of new york police officers standing over there, not allowing them to cross. so these kinds of things like we saw last night in the city and like we are experiencing live is all very organic. there are different people within these crowds telling people which way to go and w
