are a good time for tonight's tool time award and it goes to conservative pundits and coulter she was on m.s.n. b c is low.

and then there's amazing polarities going on such as old money versus new money, old coulter versus new culture. how did you artistically -- your strategy to put all this together -- i'm amazed to hear it took 14 years. i don't doubt it. it was truly an epic work. but how is your strategy to pick and choose and create a chronology and the steps -- were there moments when these things were happening as a pan on a notepad? with everything on a computer? what were some of your artistic steps? >> i'll tell you a lot of a lot of them, starting with my father. they started with his story and the book has changed with many different generations. starting with my father, it was just about my father. again as i mentioned i couldn't do that without the story of my grandfather. to me and quite antiquated, but a lot of my writing was done by pen and paper. as a matter of fact in the week over here and made no to a a colleague of mine. the process involved through the whole process of the book. it kind of changed at times. so i thought about telling a story just as the national enquirer, although i

we think about coulter and we think about cultural change and why society has changed, white political movements happen, these are all problems that cannot be solved on a single domain. so i think universities are starting to realize that there has to be these interesting kind of collaborative hybrid spaces for people, one, just learned how to talk to each other. you develop a crazy jargon that nobody outside your field can understand. so you develop these new ways of talking to develop programs that are by definition kind of emotional -- multidisciplinary. that is happening. and i think this is what i try and do with my work is, you know, and talking to a broader popular audience is to say okay, it's good to spend some time with books that take you across different disciplines and make connections, and for me it's the greatest job in the world because i just get to go around and follow these trails and talk to these experts in these fields and listen to them and steal from them basically and remix their ideas in new ways. so part of what i try to do as a writer is to convey some of th

i certainly don't think it should be bombed as ann coulter once thundered. i've read the times since i was a kid, and was proud in my career to be published prominently in it. i consider the times and important national resource, albeit in danger and i confess to being one of those new yorkers who referred to it simply as the paper. before the internet, i wandered down to the local newsstand to get the next day's addition if i was out of town and couldn't get it. i would get withdrawal symptoms. but i was a sadly those days, that young man and the new york times are gone. for generations the times was consider the gold standard of american journalism, and the institution was considered central to the public discourse of policy debates at the core of our democracy. and our shared civic life, yet i don't think for this generation the times could be called dwight mcdonald said it was for his generation, which was the principal point of contact with the real world. nor can it be seen i think as it was once put as necessary proof of the world's existence, a barom

and find how many other cases, assuming this is an outbreak or a claim of or an individual who is coulter not link to any particular outbreak. i want to know how make throughout the country have that same genetic strain. if the answer is none, and i'm going to take a very close look at the product we produce and where we said it. if doing the relevant period i said to him and bounce out to the west coast which represents about 8 million meal choices and 3 million pounds on the east coast which represents about 12 million meals choices, there's no other illnesses anywhere in the country, it's unlikely that my product was the source. same analysis applies, what if i do find other illnesses scattered that have that same pfge pattern. maybe some in washington, a few in north dakota and the couple in texas. but i don't history that any products to those geographic locations. again makes it very unlikely that my particular product or my clients product was the source. there's variability in different centers we can run. while epidemiology does help us defend these claims, it it shows these indi

ann coulter says syou are the only republican who would win. you're shaking your head and saying you're not running but who do you think is in line to beat barack obama? >> i think the field the wide open. i don't know who the field will be. is mitch daniels going to run? i don't know. is hayley barber going to run? on a. you have to see who the field will be before you know who the front runner is. i'm going to do my job in new jersey and we'll see. >> okay. i have to ask about this official in one of your top advisers who said he didn't want to leave money on the table. he's forming a political action committee and that's raised everybody's eyebrows thinking you are running. are you really not running? >> there is no chance. zero chance. >> okay. >> under any circumstances. le close the door and nail it shut. >> what's it for? >> a partner of mine said the federal pac may be a good idea. i don't have plans to do it and i'm not running. >> okay. you're raising money then but you're also losing weight. >> trying. >> how much? >> we don't give n

coulter, thank you. you mentioned this earlier in your speech, but why is it exactly that republicans believe that free and fair elections ors democracy could exist in iraq where we invaded, and yet it can't exist in egypt which is also an arab nation when they are calling for democracy in a sort of grass roots movement? >> well, perhaps it will. it's not as clear what the outcome is in egypt. it was clear in iraq, and we had american servicemen there to make sure the elections were held fairly, and when those iraqis were out waving their hands thrilled to have democracy, you could not find more long faces on the democrats, and not just john kerry. [cheers and applause] similarly, in iran, and by the way, iraq and iran are similar in this regard. they are perfect for regime change because the people are saying their leaders were insane. that's where you want to take out the leader. in some countries, in fact, it's one or the other in the muslim countries, either the leaders are crazy and the people are s
