>> i think... >> can you be cynical? >> yeah, i'm sure i can be cynical about sports. i never wanted to lose my soul just because i was gonna be a sports writer. and i like to think, before "tuesdays with morrie" came out, that i, i wrote with some compassion and some humanity long before people attached those traits to me from an outside book. and i don't think that they hurt me. i was fairly good at being a sports writer. and, i just felt that sometimes, you know, you could find the best story in sports by talking to the person who lost, or by talkin' to the, person who finished second. and, i always approached it that way. so you don't have to be, a curmudgeon to be a journalist. i think what happens is you see so much, so many awful things when you're a journalist. and you see so much cynical behavior, particularly if you're covering pol, covering politics or business or, in many ways, sports, that you start to say, "well, why should i be open and, and, and, and, and sensitive when everybody around me that i'm covering is all just tryin' to spin everything their ow

i rise to oppose the bill's irresponsible and unsustainable funding mechanisms and the cynical processoduced it. we're told that this bill fully funds federal highway spending for the next five years and that it won't add a single dime to the federal deficit. the math may add up on paper but does anyone really think the pay-fors in this bill are honest, responsible ways to fund a government program. let's look at a few examples. of the $75 billion used to bail out the trust fund over the next five years. more than $50 billion comes from an accounting gimmick that steals money from the rest of the treasury's general fund. here's how the shell game works. normally the federal reserve sends the profits from its portfolio assets directly to the u.s. treasury. these surplus profits are actually one of the major reasons our federal budget deficits have fallen in recent years below where they were a short time ago. however, this bill would siphon off that money and redirect it into the highway trust fund. just today the federal reserve chair, janet yellen, testified before the joint economic

is only is it cynicism, it cynicism about the role of government. i have heard so many people and they are right, the government is not working on behalf of the people. but to throw it out is the wrong way to go, you want to take it show thean it up and most important thing you can do, movement in politics, to show that you can improve the condition of people's lives. years,agnation, 40-50 you know, african-american communities, it has been brutal and not much attention paid until the last years. that turned people away from politics and government, from a belief that the government can work on behalf of a too often cited common good. out i think she is holding on us. we were talking about right and left stuff. you have been able to get people to come together on your issues in a way that i think is shocking a lot of people. insight?ou have any ai-jen poo: i did, i was actually going to say, i have been so inspired by all the work you have been leading on mass incarceration and i think that we have to get smarter and more creative about how we are c

it's not only cynicism. it's cynicism about the role of government.is so much at the heart of it. i've heard so many people, and the re right, say government is the captured, and on behalf oforking the people. they're right. you want to take it back, clean working, and show it seems the most important thing you can do in politics, of movements, electoral politics, is to show that you can improve the condition of peoples' lives. wage stagnation. labor, 40, etary of 50 years, you know, african-american communities, white working class, it's brutal, and no attention really paid or no concern really showed until these last years. that will turn people away from politi olitics, from government, from a belief that government can a too often f of sided common good. van: i've been sitting here, and i think she's holding out on us, because we were talking about left-right stuff. you have been able to get people on your issues in a way that i think has shocked a lot of people and i thought you might have said something during that left-right conversation. insig

. >> randi i left it for last, because cynics would say, and i'm not a cynic, that you will like thisaw because it takes some of the burden off of the teachers that were being put rightly or wrongly squarely on their shoulders. is this just about protecting your members? >> no, because educating children is a shared responsibility. and that's why we're talking about public education, but we need the kind of policies that help address the two-thirds of the achievement gap that doesn't start in a classroom. and so frankly, it's important for us to all step up. you know, i watched a law that basically shifted all responsibility on the backs of individual teachers. and that's not fair to children, parents, or the people who really want to teach. so what i think this law does with all of the caveats that pedro said, is we have to start creating a spark again, and a can-do at ought to for kids. we have to stop them being so anxious about testing, and stop demoralizing teachers. and this is a step towards that. >> how long before we know whether this new approach is going to work? five years

been said throughout a very cynical campaign season. you have to remember donald trump is gathering a large measure of his support from people who have been disengaged from politics. you saw the disparity between the two polls in iowa. some of that is driven by the fact that many people who claim to support him are people who haven't voted in recent years and so he has to do these kind of things to keep them energized. not just today but, also, as we get closer to the caucuses in iowa in and the primaries thereafter. >> do you think the escalation of the rhetoric could be a reaction to ted cruz pulling ahead of him in that one iowa poll? >> i think it could be. i think it's also part of his whole mo. he had consistently racheted up the rhetoric time and again. we have talked about some of that so far in this piece. i would not be surprised a lot all if between now and iowa, he took it up another level. >> this was a pretty harsh level. you are talking about muslims. it could be muslim professionalals who have lived in this country 3 for

. >> you are absolutely right into the greatest enemy is cynicism and anybody that detects cynicism about the power of politics and democracy to function as it should and as it can be our contributing to a self-fulfilling prophecy. >> so it is very tricky in terms of media coverage because we we doing a lot of investigations we do a lot of investigations at of the nation and you expose corruption and abuse that it can also lead to cynicism and there is a balancing act i agree it's not only cynicism, it is about the role of government is at the heart of it because i've heard so many people say it's not working on behalf of the people and they are right to throw it out is the wrong way to go you want to take it back, get it working and it shows the most important thing you can do in politics is to show that you improve the condition of people's lives. african-american communities, white working class and no attention paid or concern shown until these last years that will turn people away from politics and government into the belief that government can work on behalf of of the two often a co

the cynicism to spend a significant amount of time of discrimination of muslims. where is the problem of d discrimination of muslims? >> as for donald trump, he was on twitter during the speech. he wrote is that all there is? we need a new president fast. like marco rubio, donald trump wrote, obama refused to say, he just can't say it we are at war with radical islamic terrorists. donald trump spoke earlier about tracking muslims in the united states. >> you have people that have to be tracked. if they were muslims, they are muslims. i use the word vigilance. we have to have it. if we don't, we are foolish people. you know we are really being led by people who don't know what's happening. you have president obama talking about global warming as the biggest problem. we have a president that is not with it at all. >> and ted cruz says he would work to defend and destroy isis. nothing president obama said tonight will assist in either case. ben carson said the declarations of policies are working are strange. strange that it took days to respond. carly fiorina's resp

harvey was cynically using jim jones to get those votes. he said go pick up those posters but don't talk to anyone because they take everything you say. at the same time, their letters right here in the files of harvey milk later when people's temple went to guyana, is writing to joseph califano, calling it a beautiful retirement community. the politicians were taking advantage of what jim jones could deliver. jim jones was delivering all sorts of things. he was delivering women to george moscone. he knew what the mayor's tastes were in women. everyone was implicated, willie brown, dianne feinstein. we have to separate what the dream was and how it did take care of people but also be honest about the corruption that did set in their. >> i'm sure you have documented this very well in your book. it has been documented over and over again. he would use whatever platform he needed, he could tell you what you wanted to feel and believe. i am not trying to take away from that. i am getting older. at one time i was one of the youngest surviving me

and then the cynicism the cynicism tonight to spend a significant amount of time talking about discriminationst muslims. where is there widespread evidence that we have a problem in america with discrimination against muslims and the refusal to call this what it is a war on radical islam. very disappointing tonight. i think not only did the president not make things better tonight, i fear he may have made things worse in the minds of many americans. >> senator, the president finished his address by saying that freedom is more powerful than fear. and specifically what would a president rubio do differently than what president obama is doing and laid out tonight? >> well first, we would be straight forward and honest with the american people. isis is a growing, significant, and serious threat. they're not contained. they're growing ever more present in multiple places. they have a substantial presence not just in iraq and in syria. they now have substantial presence in libya, a growing presence in afghanistan. they're actively planning in places like kuwait bahrain, jordan. they'll target ameri

now, angie, you're a little more cynical about how this is all going to play out. >> i'm always cynical. no, i am. i mean, that's everyone's seen every presidential election since they were 15 and realized that promises are very easy to make, but actually following through can be a struggle. so relies on 20% 30% of this revenue as a source of government funding in their gdp. so the million dollar question when you have nearly half of your population relying on government services is, what do you do to replace that revenue? so i think it could happen, something may take place where they do eliminate those taxes. they're saying they're going to basically december 11th, which is perfectly understandable because he should follow through on some of his promises, but my secondary question comes from the fact that when you have one good game in town ie the farmers in argentina, what are they going to do to kind of try to reace that revenue source? so i'm still a little hesitant to think that we're going to wake up in the middle of december and have boat loads of wheat being shipped out of arge

[laughter] so as many writers have said, custer does not lack for books. there are quite a few books about custer. i don't disrespect them. sometimes biographers are biographers are writers of nonfiction are moved by the inadequacy of what was written before, or the subject simply has not been brought to the public before. there is a lot of good writing and abundant writing. not all of it is good, some some of it is very good. so why did i turn to george armstrong custer? what actually is that i'm trying to say that you should understand? let me put it this way, in my case there is a lot of investigation tha

melissa: i'm being really cynical.'t think he cares about what message sending to the country. it is about hanging on to power. that city looks completely ungovernable. looking at violence on police or violence between individuals gun violence where gun laws are tight. the fact you buy a gun for 75 to $100 on the street the city is wildly out of control. it reminds my of l.a. from 73-93, tom brad did i was in charge. gangs took over from l.a. it was huge thing. not near me but inner-city. this city is so far out of control you need a complete clean sweep of everyone. >> right. melissa: you almost have to start over from scratch at this point. it looks ungovernable. jedediah: that's a great point, meagan. say rahm resigns. people feel that is good idea but then what? does this need to start at community level or the dinner table? do we need this think smaller with parents with conversations of kids and schools get involved and rebill a community so you have some sort of comradery not only between the police force and ci

tom: can i be a cynical as possible? is it about these guys who can't make their mega bonuses, so they are merging to discover growth? so they can get paid? it's fair to say that both of them know they cannot stick to the status quo, so they need to find a solution. they have been under major pressure from activists, and they know they have to act. by doing that, this merger can are investors, look, we going to do a make a deal and create a strong company, and let's be honest, whichever executive leaves, they are going to get a nice paycheck. but at the end of the day it is about reacting to investor pressure, shareholder pressure, showing them they have a plan to get out of this phase. tom: francine, i think it's time for "surveillance" gossip -- was she shown the door because she couldn't do this deal? you know all the gossip. >> i think she went out the victor and left. so why did she leave in the end? when ed took over there were a lot of big questions. he hasn't waited long. a lot of people thought he would review t

she sees it as the mere result of cynical political ploys, tactical politicians bent on keeping power, mainstream parties bent on 40 will of the people. she sees it as a result of the machine colluding in a mafia against her party. regardless of whether or not there is some sort of reeking of the system and colluding. they wanted to leave it simply to a conservative versus far right showdown. that debt paid off, but it is not going away. marine le pen is not just waiting in the wings, she is ready to pounce for toy 17. less than 18 months away, the -- for 2017. less than 18 months away, hundreds of counselors have been voted in throughout france. they will be very loyal. they are footsoldier's for the national front in the months ahead. she is counting on perhaps at some point voters calling the establishment's bluff. if they are banded together and joining forces to thwart the advance of the popular front, on them saying that's it, game over, we will not play this game anymore. genie: could we see marine le pen in a final round of the presidential race in 2017? >> it is interesting.

perhaps cynical exaggeration. the young telling commanders who came out or near gibbering idiots as men could get without being locked up. physical casualties also saw. you drive by the fence in the morning and there are two or three on the ground with the same officer. in in the afternoon there are 30 or 40. new company platoon commanders survive for such a short time, the bad men never even learn their names. will some of the veterans from normandy enjoyed the parties back to paris. a constant stream of replacements for those killed in the fighting. >> most were teenagers freshly arrived from the united states. many older men reassigned to the battalion. just about the only improvement was to change the name replacement to reinforcement, in an attempt to take away the impression that they were just filling dead man's boots. >> .. the enemy. sometimes treated little better than expendable slaves, and the whole system bread asceticism which was deeply troubling. in her novel she repeated it clearly common piece of
