i was a good athlete, et cetera, et cetera.ts the attitude of the majority of the soviet people to that war and the attitude of the majority of russians to this current war. they don't believe they can make a change, that's the problem. even if they are against the war, they believe that, well, it is the government, it is the party, it is our state that is having this war, and we being the citizens of this state, we just don't have any other choice. so we'll have to serve and we will have to approve of it no matter what the state is doing. that's the nature of the russian paternalistic consciousness, the russian paternalistic mindset. that's reason number one that needs to be understood by everyone who wants to understand why it is so that it is the 21st century and still a lot of russians, if not the majority, support whatever putin and his coterie is doing. then there is another reason. you see, when the soviet union collapsed back in 1991, the soviets or the russians did not have anything resembling denazification of germany

, et cetera.rs but also i start the book with the fact that the very first medal statue but up in america lasted only seven years before we tore itce down. it was thely statue of george i, and as soon as the declaration of independence was read pb newly proudud rebelled american tore the statue down. it was made out of led, so they melted it d into bullets and us them to fight the king's army. >> that story is well-told in the book. what a wild story. so melted down to make the bullets that would be fired on theto british, correct? >> yeah. they talked about how there would be melted imagine esty fired at the t king's troops. >> so if this is unprecedented in american history, where do we have too look in world history o findhe something roughly equivalent in terms of the number and speed of statues coming nkdown? i'm probably sending you back to grad school here, but where do we find this, or can we not? is there something singular about this? >> i think it is singular because there are certainly

the southern strategy came into play, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. something that lbj, of all people, predicted at the time he signed the bill. it's funny. i don't know when people form their political views. i think lots of people, at least initially, inherit them from their parents in much the same way that i think lots of people inherit the religious affiliations. it's the business of living to determine whether, in fact, after much experience and reflection those other values that you want to espouse, or that is the creed you want to pray to. >> so in this november 2017, where do you live? >> grand rapids, michigan. >> what are you doing? >> in the tallest building in town, the tallest building between chicago and detroit, a building overlooking the great site of gerald and betty ford and from which i see the great site as i sit at my desk writing a biography on president ford, which by the nature of things is ford's story, a book i've been working on in earnest now for three years. although before that, actually it took about two years to interv

, et cetera. or i don't see them as finally debilitating. i see them as also opening up a dynamic possibility of engaging with them. exactly as you are saying, why am i using the word indigenous? oh, can i use another word? well, there we go. where advancing, in a sense, how we can use that. like, i don't mean by kind of murdering it or whatever it is, you know, but by thinking about those things that are, that are already evaluated her prejudicial ways from aware that we might think. so i don't see it as ultimately debilitating. really. i do see though you have to move with care, make sure that herb, the words are doing the work for you. yeah, that makes me think her van inova as there's as quote by the us name for. it says something like, you know, you can't beat out a book on a drum or a novel and it's rather, and it should not steamer. oh, and, and i remember when i read that quote, i was like, why not? i mean, we literally have and to rom language, you know, like which every sense for years t

regarding italians from southern italy as nonwhite, as lesser, as not fit for any intellectual labor, et cetera cetera.ff there are a lot of efforts to restrict immigration, so that act passes in 1924. worries are assuaged about a wave of immigrants and the task turns to assimilating the -- to making them into american, not italians anymore. and columbus is sort of a symbol of the assimilation of the argument that italians can be of service to america, just as columbus had been, and more deeply an argument that italians should count as white, which was very unclear before.mi so by pinning a new identity on columbus, i say that he -- as a tool for assimilation was a knife, because he forced a lot of people to cut off a lot of parts of themselves that had been important, speaking italian, celebrating certain italian religious rituals and other cultural customs, et cetera, et cetera.ra there's a real attempt to fit ca in. and i think there's a lot wider range of italian heritage that' can be explored in a way. in a way that doesn't directly sort of remind other people of s the genocide of their cu

, et cetera. so this is reading a lot of personal contacts, ruining a lot of a lot of historical traditions, historical ties, and to overcome this. current crisis will be a terrible and mr. protein has repeatedly complain that for west never listen to russia's what he called legitimate security concerns. but when he did listen and ovi western leaders trooped off to moscow to talk to him, he simply lied direct to their faces and presented them with an ultimatum. they knew they couldn't accept. that wasn't serious diplomacy. was it? i should start from somewhere from 2007 or something like list from ms. munich speech. when put in became pressed that at the beginning of a 1000, she was really thinking about having good dialogue with europe, with united states, with nature. he was trying to make up some steps toward what the problem that are within this dialogue he became more and more disappointed. and he feel, he feels himself that are, that this, that attitude from the west, the russia is more or l

et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. >> the next book? >> the next book was "the harvard century," which appeared in 1986, the year of the 50th anniversary of harvard college, and it was in some ways an updating of samuel elliott morrison's classic history, albeit with a much more national focus. >> you went there, how -- were you supposed to write for harvard? >> no, this was an entirely -- i've never written. it's interesting, because i've had institutions approach me and indeed when i did my biography of colonel mccormick, that was made possible by "the tribune" and the mccormick foundation but also explicitly explained that that was conditioned on there having no financial interest or seeing any part of the manuscript. the harward book was equally independent. >> let me come back to harvard, to this in a second. i want to go back to your learning process. >> yes. >> what year in your life in school did you glom onto history? >> you know, it's a good question. it's a fair question. but i can't tell you a time when i wasn't. >> was ther

, et cetera, et cetera. what, what, what, what about the meeting that, that there's a absolute, clear what, what the aim and the, and the idea is about it is not bullet asked to present our views and the to go ahead with her on the interpretation of the situation. but i'm afraid for them that the by the morrow many things will come to surface, which they wouldn't like to hear. so perhaps they are the are the last time not to have in meetings to day and postponing it till tomorrow's secondly, certainly rather a look. i do not take all not just in my memory here, but in the procedure and tradition and the rules of the security council that the presidency would. would that the may a country a meeting whenever he wants to? because the cut the, the council should meet sir, if that's an emergency meeting in 3 hours after the nancy after the announcement. and i've been on this occasion much. okay. we've been listening to the russian ambassador to the united nations, especially when the us conference in front of the

, et cetera. there are maybe people sales to the japanese. there are particulars where russia can put emphasis and try to euro those sanctions. but i would generally think that beyond the energy areas, it will be a little difficult at this point of time because that is that he's been in the west on tom in terms of sanction, washington and the campuses, if you are not happy with this demand of course, but is there really anything that can do about it, but they're not happy with this demand. but as i said, as i understand the demand, the demand is that they can make those payments in europe, but then they need to change it. they need to set up accounts in russia where they make that exchange. so that burden that risk of exchange is just the foreign currency exchange risk that they will have. they will have to bear at this point of time. it's the producer, the guess for you. so guess from just bearing that now it is the the import of gas which needs to be bearing veterans, the consumer. so i actually

what their association is, et cetera. mom and grandma were shown the video of carrillo carrying the baby carrier. they did not recognize him at that point, wearing the mask, a hat. hard to recognize even if you run across him a few times in the past. >> yes, you talked about the condition of the baby when it was recovered. was it being cared for, was it being changed, was it being fed? and secondarily, did you ever get reports of what the reunion was like when the officers were able to get the baby back to the mother? i know you can't say much on that, but give us some indiction of what the reunion was like? >> again, i was with mom yesterday for a little while when she was with baby brandon. the baby looked happy. anyone who is a mother or father, you know, can recognize hopefully when a baby is uncomfortable and in distress, et cetera. as far as i can tell, i'm not an expert, but the baby seemed happy, in good spirits. back with mom, like i said, she was very, very relieved. i mean, i'm going to date myself here, but th

so i guess what this really means is that up to sanctions, et cetera. i think that's how i came now to chains for good. but in russia is, it's also a case that russia does not want to be as dependent on europe as it's major energy customer either. and for example, since 2014, when, when europe, as an energy customer and since 2014, we've seen major projects being built a focusing on china and gas and oil. and ellen gee and, and it is, there are all gone to become bigger customers and compensate. so the view in moscow is that this is about re balancing it is inevitable to europe will go down as a customer, but it would be compensated with new customer growth elsewhere. that's the way they're looking at her right now. so there for the view in moscow is that it's re balancing an early. what are your thoughts on that yellow that does really a really interesting point does. this is something we work a lot with our clients as well as trying to understand the re route, the extra capacity going, going, going east into china, that's around at max $410.00 per yea

, et cetera.o something, but can anything get done. >> that's a great question. i think democrats think one of their chances to turn things around is passing a scaled back version of build back better that would address climate change and some other social spending issues. that's a tough task. they tried and failed to do that once already. time is running out. i think the other thing they're hopeful for is, perhaps, there's going to be a ruling on abortion this summer that can energize their base voters. but there's a lot that needs to happen to turn things around. >> i'll just go back to say, though, i think there's a kernel of truth to what john said but ultimately voters don't feel it in their pocketbooks, it's not going to matter. they could get a good headline from passing a bill like that, but if they're still paying high gas and food prices, they'll get punished at the ballot tox. >> this is how tim ryan is addressing this. >> who here is tired of getting hammered by inflation? we have to l

his good friend in the galapagos et cetera et cetera but i don't have a real sense of that. >> based on an actual soldier that wasted away and died and thenho edgar the real american soldier who was killed. he uses those characters as inspiration. one of the fascinating stories i came upon is that he never told people that it was based on this charactern' for 40 years. he waited until the 1990s to tell people which shows the ability toee keep a secret. i found that in his writing somewhere but i don't have the reference right now in my head of when he said that. >> it was in one of the drafts. >> but it's not just a bear, it's in a nonfiction book because i have n it somewhere. >> not before 1990. >> maybe not, i'm not arguing that at all. i want to make a comment on that. fiction isis so tricky. one of us just said this. mixing him up so he is close but not. he wasn't like a passive kind of guy as you extrapolate and speculate, he had a temper, he could be angry. it was an aspect of him. but it's not joe either. it's an imagined character based on someone. that's what fiction does.

. >> crime, noise, young people hang out, play their music, et cetera, et cetera, who calls the police, and will the police respond? probably not. >> reporter: the oakland department of transportation had already set aside money for the staircase on outlook avenue, but they are pausing construction due to opposition from many neighbors. supporters maintain the staircases would connect neighbors rather than divide them. >> if you build it, people do come. >> what is the purpose, and if you don't do any more than one staircase, or one stairway, it is like a stairway to nowhere. >> reporter: at this point, there is no timeline. the city wants more feedback from neighbors before deciding how to move forward. in oakland, i'm da lin, kpix 5. >>> an oakland auction houses hoping to raise up to $10,000 for ukraine relief with a single, powerful image. it is called "girl with candy," a child holding an unloaded double barrel rifle in her hand and a lollipop in her mouth. she's the daughter of an amateur ukrainian photographer who took a just days before the russian invasion. on sunday, the auct

. >> but there may or may not be an aston martin and cool gadgets, et cetera, et cetera. we'll tell you how covid had impacted james bond in a little bit. but we begin with ukraine. >>> president zelenskyy appeared at last night's grammy awards speaking in english, saying that ukrainian musicians wear body armor instead of tuxedos. and he urged the stars to tell the truth about the war and not be silent. >> his message comes amid reports of 400 people killed. and we warn you, they are disturbing. here's james longman. >> reporter: as russia retreats from the suburbs of kyiv, these discoveries are now prompting worldwide condemnation. bodies of murdered civilians, some appearing to have been executed, left lying in the streets. president zelenskyy says russia is guilty of war crimes. >> indeed, this is genocide. the elimination of the whole nation and the people. >> reporter: in bucha, residents say russian forces shot civilians on the spot, some allegedly had their hands tied behind their backs. this woman was walking when a russian soldier fired at her with a machine gun

can go, laws that limit where they can go to school, who they can marry, how much they can earn, et cetera, it's fundamentally not independence. so for much of the world, europeans in particular, this political cartoon, i think, really captures it, right? here's uncle sam selling stuff and europe has a very long shopping list and basically they're asking how is my credit? how much can i borrow from you in order to keep fighting? so if you were to ask a german, a british person what are the americans doing in 1914? they would say, fattening their pockets. and do not ever forget that the fattening of those pockets comes as the cost of european lives. that american greed and their willingness in particular to sell to anyone could ultimately result in the collapse of european empires, more so than europeans killing themselves. so to come back to the question that tom asked many, many weeks ago, how is it that the germans are always pinned the bad guys? we can see that even as early as 1914, we're starting to vilify the roles of even some neutrals, in this case the u.s., that sells indiscrimina

their people the united states and all of nato is engaged in taking out russian troops and tanks, et ceteranumber one, it's an excuse for their failure. but number two, it's also, if they really mean it, it's -- no one should be making idle comments, about the use of nuclear weapons, or the possibility that they'd use that. it's irresponsible. >> mr. president, back on the border, title 42. a number of your democratic friends are pressuring the white house to maintain that policy. can you give us a straight answer on whether you're going to heed that request or you're going to get rid of it? pres. biden: i can give you a straight answer. we had proposed to eliminate that policy by the end of may. the court has said we can't so far. and what the court says, we're going to do. the court could come along and say, we cannot do that, and that's it. >> mr. president, you say that this is not a proxy war, but russia clearly disagrees. they say that war means war. so how concerned are you that they may start to act accordingly, even if you disagree? pres. biden: we are prepared for whatever they do

but our garza is, you know, what happens to sanctions, et cetera. i think that's now that came now to change for good. ah, but in russia is it's also a case that russia does not want to be as dependent on europe as it's major energy customer, either. and for example, since 2014, when, when europe started talking about russia at russian energy risk in moscow, the conversation was about also russia's exposure to european europe as an energy customer. and since 2014, we've seen major projects been built of focusing on china and gas and oil. and ellen, gee, and under discussion in moscow right now is acknowledging to europe is began to become steadily a less importance customer. but asia, china, india ticker, are all gone to become bigger customers and compensate. so the view in moscow is that this is about re balancing it is inevitable to europe will go down as a customer, but it would become to say with new customer growth elsewhere. that's the way they're looking at her right now. as they're for the view in moscow, is that it's re balancing and it's

but are regardless of it, you know, what happens to sanctions, et cetera. i think that's now that came now to chains for good. but in russia, it's also a case that russia does not want to be as dependent on europe as it's major energy customer, either. and for example, since 2014, when, when europe started talking about russia at russian energy risk in moscow, the conversation was about also russia's exposure to european cushion and moscow right now is acknowledging to europe is begun to become steadily less importance customer. but asia, china, india ticker, are all gone to become bigger customers and compensate. so the view in moscow is that this is about re balancing it is inevitable to europe will go down. it's not going to destroy the economy, but carry it all depends on, on scale and time. and the urgency to does that this will be rules out a q abilities worksheet for a, for address to natural gas. and what you have seen in just speaking of how it looks like looking right now is that we see we have around the extra capacity going, going, going east in

there's always items on sale every week, eggs, ribeye steaks, et cetera et cetera. to buy on sale and free stuff. maria: can you confirm headlines these talks out of turkey are quote unquote constructive. >> it might be constructive but i don't believe it. putin has been a bad faith actor and the russians are using this opportunity to regroup that's a dangerous opportunity right upper they're getting crushed they're getting embarrassed on the battlefield. maria: meanwhile march ended higher but saw the worst quarter in two years as investors worry about 40 or high inflation, upcoming federal reserve rate hikes and a comic revit mix jobs report out on friday with the march numbers coming at four to 31000 jobs added to the economy. fewer than expected with the unappointed rate did fall to 3.6%. the lowest level since fiber of 2020 for joining our former vice chairman and lane generational founder, fred lane. good to see you thanks for joining me this weekend. give us your take on the jobs numbers we saw and what does that tells about the macroeconomic growth story tod

, et cetera et cetera periods we sent to speak with them sig judge for yourself to bring up some thing >> i am opposed to affirmative action and i can explain why. >> the reason why i've become more opposed to affirmative action is because i think it has poisoned the entire academic enterprise is like this poison that you drop into a well and it just spreads everywhere he goes to all the pipes there's no place. all the capillaries. all the little end points of where the water goes that's an analogy and will mean by that? i think if you were to look at the orthodoxy of the symptom narrative is a priorities macadamia today. which is diversity above everything else and safe spaces and psychological comfort for minority students and disadvantaged minorities especially are underachieved minorities. that is the most important thing that anyone who says anything about groups or about race about different populations that would in any way upset someone who is a minority probably in many cases here because of affirmative action. that person needs to be punished. >> tucker: amy that interview is

et cetera hatch for anything but a principal conservative, to his credit he was never afraid to work with his democratic colleagues when necessary to get things done and he would make compromises. i was in the room many times when it happened i will always admire him for that. the people of utah lost a titan this week when that will not likely come through this chamber again for a long time. my prayers and condolences go to all of senator hatch's family and friends especially his wife elainela and their six children and many, many grandchildren put me forever rest int peace. i thank him for his lifetime of public service. et cetera hatch retired three years ago, this body losses longest-serving republican and president pro tem. also lost one of the kindest and best humored colleagues any of us had ever served with. and for that matter the senate's only former band manager of a more of a folk music group. orrin hatch led an incredibly full, interesting and accomplished life. by the end have his tenure our very funny colleague like to poke fun at his own longevity. iran berwin or in in

in some cases jabber, webex, et cetera cisco keeps the holding. i think of cisco where it's more of a holding company where there's many separate organizations under it or are you able -- you are really integrating these companies underneath. >> you should not think about us as only a company. you should think about us as a platform. a platform that integrates these into a unified experience for the customer and the user. that's the way we think about it. i will give you a sample. we acquired a company called slidell. it's an audience engagement platform. the reason is we want to make sure those people are in a large forum. and everybody feels like they have a voice. i have 4000 people on my team and i want to find out how they are doing. i asked the question. how are you feeling today? what you doing for the weekend? i get all these responses back. i'm feeling anxious. my feeling tired, fatigued, happy, excited? that capability we incorporated into our knowledge and extension of webex. you're not paying anything extra and you don't how to do anyt

, et cetera you can't do anything if it's not secure like, literally nothing.pipeline was ransomwared from us. we literally had to pay crypt onto get back a third of this country's energy network, and everyone forgot about it because kim started dating pete davidson, but this is going to happen with increasing regularity and intensity and we better get real smart. crowdstrike is a $50 billion player in the space. i spent a half an hour last night talking with the ceo they just got a higher level certification to get to work directly with the department of defense. this is something almost no other cybersecurity companies have in addition, they've been signing strategic partnerships with companies like amazon, web services and mandiant. they're serving 15 of the largest 20 financial institutions in america. a huge chunk of the fortune 500, every sector, every geography all over the world and i think they continue to win because they have products i'm a long-term holder of crowd strike and i continue to stay with this name if people have that wake-up call that i

, et cetera. how can they make that case? go ahead. i'm mystified. well, i mean, again, going back to what we've been dealing with here in the west for, for the last 10 years, they be making that case again. shakespeare making a case against churchill or against thomas jefferson or george washington. it's not . once you're going after your own founding fathers, it's not difficult to good boy, cancel an other. but it's interesting what i find even more, and i think it should be terrifying for anyone over on this side of the world is the ease at which they're able to circle the wagons and cancel something as, as a bath, as a country when you have any sort of model, it's like that, whether it's incorporation or government or anything, you're facing problems even without the political aspect, you're facing problems just for lack of competition, lack of good ideas, like a fresh anything. so it's really an issue and we're going to be feeling it. i mean, we already are feeling it on our side of the world

, et cetera. he's done what he said he would do it, he should be taken seriously. i think it's very clear that the, that the u. s. and it's nato allies are attempting to ramp up support or ramp up the transfer of a weapons to ukraine. they believe their own rhetoric. they believe that russia is bluffing. obviously, the u. s. must know that this is a desperate situation for ukraine. why are they continue with and why more importantly, why is it in any remote way in america's national interest, every provoking a war over the borders of ukraine? no one has answered that question yet. indians foreign minister has resisted calls from the west to take a hard stance against the war in ukraine, and instead says problems in asia should take precedence again. quite candidly, we've been hearing for the last 2 months. a lot of our, a lot of arguments from europe, so you know that things happening in europe and asia should worry about it because these could happen in asia. guess what things have been happening

, et cetera. how can they make that case? go ahead. i'm mystified. well, i mean, again, going back to what we've been dealing with here in the west for, for the last 10 years, they be making that case against shakespeare. making that case against churchill or against thomas jefferson or george washington. it's not. once you're going after your own founding fathers, it's not difficult to good boy, cancel an other. but it's interesting what i find even more, and i think it should be terrifying for anyone over on this side of the world is the ease at which they're able to circle the wagons and cancel something as, as a bath, as a country when you have any sort of model, it's like that, whether it's incorporation, right, government or anything, you're facing problems even without the political aspect, you're facing problems just for lack of competition, lack of that idea, lack of fresh anything. so it's really an issue and we're going to be feeling it. i mean, we already are feeling it on our side of
