the district of columbia is a totally different world. your question, have i ever tried a case against a pro se litigant, i have. however, in the district of columbia, justices -- judges conduct extensive interviews with litigants who want to defend themselves and warn them against the risks. after that, they appoint standby counsel to sit at the table while the cases are going on. the one case i have tried was in federal court where they had fired multiple attorneys. judge appointed standby counsel -- it does not very happen because there is competent counsel guiding the defendant every step of the way. >> i remember presiding over a number of cases where people went pro se. most of the time the defendant has some mental health issue. in order to be competent for trial, which is different than not guilty by reason of insanity, your competence as your ability to go forward in trial. that is not a terribly high -- there are some terribly high people who can pass a competency and i remember presiding over the trial of the white house fence

but you went to columbia business school. why did you go to columbia? mr.tt: i was at the university of omaha. what was then called the university of omaha. i was in the library in august, and i was leafing through catalogs, and i just happen to see columbia had graham and dodd as teachers. i had read their book but had no idea they were teaching. so, i wrote dean dodd, and i said, "dear dean dodd, i thought you guys were dead." i said "now that i know you are alive, i would really love to come to columbia if you can get me in." david: so i assume you did well at columbia business school? mr. buffett: i did ok there. david: you worked for mr. graham? how did that work? mr. buffett: it was terrific in the sense that i was working for my hero. but then, he was going to retire in a couple of years, and so i was only back there for a year and a half. but every day, i was excited about being able to work for him. david: so what you were good at was picking stocks, according to his formula, which was to look for companies that were undervalued -- now we call that

so very much in favor of the columbia university proposal. it has a lot of similarities to some of the research that cap has put out there. yay for full refundability, yay for monthly payments and yay for recognizing that a child allowance isn't going to have catastrophic labor force participation effects. i don't know anybody who would not work because they were getting $2,000 or $3,000 a year to help raise kids when kids cost so much more than that. those are helpful points and i think it's helpful to spur these kinds of bipartisan discussions. the main area of concern i have with fam's proposal is the pay fors. so the idea of taking away school lunch to pay for a child's credit seems a little ironic to me. it seems as though you're almost taking away lunch to pay for dinner or taking away lunch to pay for housing or some other kind of basic human needs. children are whole people with a whole host of needs. if we're paying for this with other payments that are helping children, it seems to me we're not making the progress that the columbia

then i came back to columbia in 1981. i think i resigned from columbia a.b. four years later because i didn't want to commute so much from washington. brian: and you are at johns hopkins still? mr. brzezinski: i'm connected with johns hopkins and i taught at johns hopkins, and i have the title of professor. but my primary base is the center for strategic and political debate. you married when? mr. brzezinski: i married in 1955 to a graduate of wellesley college. she is of czechoslovakian origin. we met at a harvard-wellesley knicks are -- harvard-wellesley mixer. a week after we met, she told her brother she was going to marry me. i did not learn that until about a year later. brian: what year did you marry? mr. brzezinski: 1955. three children. they are here and in new york. is a republican, and he served in the senate, spend some time in ukraine. volunteered for the military at one point and became a reserve officer. he was a deputy assistant secretary of defense under rumsfeld. is now at booz allen. a second son is a democrat, their active politically. cur

routed the force at manatt c and advanced on the outskirts of the district of columbia. troops arrived just in time to help occupied the defenses and lincoln visited the front. the famous story reportedly oliver wendell holmes telling him to get it down, you idiot because lincoln was so curious to observe while people were shooting. the truth of the matter, it is not clear that was oliver wendell holmes but did -- but somebody did say that. early gathered up supplies and retreated and federals did not cut them off. --ter had fled so far that that he completely marched himself out of the campaign for two weeks. it literally took him two weeks of marching to get back to the washington area that he went so far way. meanwhile, to longer organizing to block early's command. lincoln, according to his clerk, disgusted. he grumbled that right pursued slowly for fear he might come across the rebels and cut -- and captures some of them. in fairness to wright, he was nowhere blameworthy than the other. he received minimal instruction from hallock and not as bad as hunter who fled i

the columbia proposal would make both of these more general louse. we worry about people that were going to delay and we worry some of them won't. so i think that's a real concern that i have with the proposal that changes sort of the balance of what people are deciding on the margin. plus the columbia proposal i would not die on these numbers but it seems to me it is pretty likely maybe folks are fine with that. to my mind if you will propose something that is unprag unpragmatically big i would want to spend it in a different way. you should not take it to mean i don't think we have a poverty problem. it is at an all time low. i have written on this. chris's numbers showed some economis economists. it is at the research service. child poverty being under half the poverty line probably at an all time low if you include noncash ben fits. if you include things like housing benefits and you count them when you determine who is under the poverty line. i think they would show that. it is frankly so rare it can't be reliably detected. i think the comments

so-called paula varian republic representing the true people of columbia.but in every single case whichever insurgent group you chose, it's always the same objective, replace the one government that they are fighting. contrast that with isis. it's not about one government, it's about all governments. it isn't just rhetoric, it's actually happening on the ground we are making their lives far more difficult for them inks to the great work of people like general mcmasters, secretary matus and others. think about what they have achieved in a scant six or seven years. they captured and held territory in multiple countries of the middle east, as we already know. but not only that their affiliates have also captured and held territory in other countries. you may have heard of the organization focus iran in nigeria. it's a black african jihad a group, it's name is aly combination of african in arabic literally means looks forbidden. it means western education forbidden. it's an anti- western jihadist group. two years ago they swore allegiance to the islamic state.

the advice from norman's best friend from columbia, jason epstein, was to throw the whole thing in the garbage. lionel's mentor from columbia told his publication would be a gigantic mistake and would take ten years to live down. all this for a single reviewer had trashed the book which happen fast on the heels of publication. as the saying goes, if you live long enough you see everything. norman podhoretz has lived long enough that his book has now been dubbed one of the 20th century's classics by no less than the new york review report. it's their 50th anniversary reissuing under their classics imprints. hold up the book again. [laughter] we celebrate this tonight. see for yourself, get your very own copy right here in the lobby what an incredible reversal. just goes to show that all truth passes through three stages: first, ridicule. violent opposition and then acceptance is self-evident. when you read the book today it feels as relevant as it did when it first came out. human nature doesn't change except that back then people didn't reveal their private feelings and aspirations pub

but as a columbia level stories related to their troubled times before the beginning of columbia is the reduced violence by a third and expects to add 600,000 jobs to his economy, and that is without this boost that will come as a result, so it is the economics that we have to improve and we are not talking about huge money that may be the cost of running military operations for a day. if there is one quick question from the audience, there's multipoint hands up i think i saw yours first. senator bob casey was outraged at the fact that the young womn had been deported to honduras along with her 5-year-old son. he said he tried to stop the deportation but you didn't respond or act. i'm wondering can you speak to that and do you think that she is in danger now? >> i've returned those five times to date to call back from senator casey and staff. in every report, the customs enforcement, homeland security, john kelly, we don't deport people. the law supports people. the they were apprehended nearly two years ago on the border with avgas why they are here to gets you into the system because
