[laughter] in her latest book, "the morning they came for us," she chronicles the war in syria using seven different perspectives. she provides a vivid picture of a ravaged nation as experienced by its citizens. among them, a nun, a doctor, a musician and a student. their stories convey the realities of modern urban warfare from

in the area known as the poets' corner, there's geoffrey chaucer, charles dickens, and rudyard kiplingperhaps the award for greatest humility goes to the 17th-century poet and playwright ben jonson. he had asked the king for just 18 square inches of floor space, so he was buried standing up. there are other rich and famous luminaries who aren't buried here but had memorial services -- for example, william shakespeare... and lady di, princess of wales. while some of the greatest figures in history are under the floor, when visiting, be sure to look up. the vaulted ceilings and stained glass are incredible. in fact, those are hallmarks of the gothic style. popular in medieval times, you can recognize gothic architecture by a number of design elements. arches come to a point. ribbing runs across the high ceilings. there's usually a giant window in the shape of a flower, hence the name "rose window." and then there are the flying buttresses. they're less a design element and more of a structural necessity. they keep the upper walls from being pushed outward by the weight of the roof. the s

what she just did looked silly as the dickings to me -- dickens to me.n, there's no connection there. and trump makes a connection with almost every sentence with his, those he wants to reach with his message. and she's using latin derivatives that are utterly, you know, they're lighter than air. >> but you know what though? anytime a liberal ends up using racism, xenophobia, those types of as we like to call them dog whistles, very often people who may be in the middle, people who may not be necessarily happy with donald trump, even they will just roll their eyes like, oh, here we go. >> as unoriginal as it is, lou, he's what she's hoping to accomplish. -- here's what she's hoping to accomplish. you're right, it was tired and lame. and trump's reaction was perfect, because he called her out on it. the problem is you have almost 400 republican candidates who are not as adept or courageous as donald trump to take these types of issues on. so what she's trying to do, and we've seen it in the pressers with paul ryan on capitol hill -- lou: put up some -- go

is chris christie reading him dickens novel to help him fall asleep at night?importantly trump's claims are a bigoted lie. first, muslim communities across the country at countless times have worked with law enforcement to help identify terrorist suspects. once they found the muslim community members providing critical information in two out of every five disrupted plots between 2001 and 2011. second, this hateful dangerous rhetoric has the potential to make muslim americans feel threatened and unwelcome. trump also cynically attempted on monday to cast themselves as champion of lgbt rights. telling fox news quote, i'm far better for the gay community than hillary clinton is. that's right, trump is great for the gay community as long as you ignore all the times trump has repeatedly expressed his opposition to marriage equality and promised to appoint supreme court justices who would overturn it. >> there are evangelicals out there that want to be able to trust you on traditional marriage. >> i think they can trust me. they can trust me on traditional marriage.

>> stewart, first of all, what he's going to do, he's going to scare the dickens out of them just like reagan did when iran held our hostages for over a year. so that's the first thing he's going to do because he's very serious and this president is not. can they keep avoiding it? sure. they're in na na land here. you see it's complete chaos. they don't show it but when you're on the floor and you speak to the berne eie supporte they're not happy. they're continually being put down by the hillary factions who control everything. don't forget, they're also honoring the mother of a young boy who was apparently killed by a police officer, was killed by a police officer, but he's not -- they're not honoring the actual police officers themselves who put their lives on the line every day. that's just abhorrent as well. this is dysfunctional to say the least. >> sheriff clark, what do you think about the speakers tonight, inclung the mother of michael brown? >> i think it's a shame. compare and contrast that to the rnc's theme of make america safe again. the theme tonight is compassion for cr

this is a novel by charles dick dickens.the quote goes like this, it was the best of times, it was the worse of time, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epic of belief, it was the season of life, service the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. the reason i raise that is because i think we are at a cross roads not only in the state of new york but frankly in the country. let me talk about the national issue for one moment. if you look at the republican platform versus the democratic platform, it is night and day. it is black and white. it could not be any clearer about what our priorities are. in my humbled opinion the primary obligation of the federal government is the strong national defense and there is no one, no one better suited to handle that than donald trump and governor pence. so that's on the federal level. [applause] >> in the state of new york, we have in the last couple of years, we elected eight new members in the new york state senate so

proof does come up injury cases and it scares the dickens out of a lot of people.think we have time for one. there's a classic example, i think robin allen kaplan wrote about this in the book chances are. imagine a town where 90% of the the caps are blue and 10% are purple. a crime just took part in an eyewitness said the cab that went away was blue. i'll just do this. you have an eyewitness you're in a town and there's 100 cabs, 90 will be blue and ten will be purple. is. is that what i said? all right. so if the eyewitness said i saw purple cab go way, i tested the eyewitness and i'm being shown the colors blue and purple at random and she was able to identify the correct color 80% of the time. so 80% of the time she is a reliable witness. she's granted let's let's think about it. among these 90 blue taxicabs, she will be correct 80% of the time. so 18 cabs she will say they're actually purple when their blue and 72 will be blue. of the ten she will say two of them are mistakingly blue and eight of them are actually purple. okay this witness said she definitely s

the truth does come up and it scares the dickens out of a lot of people.wo examples than we have time for one. bob allen kaplan wrote about this. imagine there is a town where 10% are blue and 10% are purple. an eyewitness says the cat that went away was luke. an eyewitness said the town out of 100 cabs, 90 will be blue in 10 will be purple. i saw a purple cap go away. i tested the eyewitness and then being shown the correct color 80% of the time frame. 80% of the time a pretty reliable witness. among these named the blue taxicabs, two would be correct 80% of the time. 18 cabs that are actually purple when they are really blue, we should say they really are blue. of the 10, actually purple ones, two of them are mistakenly blue and eight of them are actually -- purple and blue. all right. this witness says she definitely saw a blue cap go away. she's 80% reliable. of the time she's actually correct? she sent blue. these two cases -- 34 cases, the other way around. eight out of 26 time she was actually correct that it was really purple stained purple. eight
