everything i has written about has fascinated me since i was young. i think that means i'm connecting to the boy i was. i really write the books for me. i don't know what people want. i know what i like. and i know it moves me. so, i tried to write the book the story i would want to read when i was a boy. i imagine i'm still that boy you just saw doctor king on television. and i'm writing it for me at that time. if i'm successful think that's because i'm still in touch with the kid i was. i'm writing the books i would have liked to have read. >> this was a great book. i learned so much. i know it wasn't written for my age group but i learned so much. the photos and illustrations are great. it's great. thank you for talking with us today. >> thank you. >> c-span, where history of full steam. in 1979, c-span was created as a public service for the cable television companies. today, we bring you unfiltered coverage of congress, the white house, the supreme court in public policy events in washington, d.c. and around the country. >> c-span is brought to b

and as i interviewed people, as i thought about it more, one of the things that was the most fascinating to me was the at afte the ripple effect 30 years later. how were people cking up and going on with their lives when they'd handeath sentence or when they had lost everyone of their generation and they're the only survivor? so that was woven in later.as >> seth: iertainly more aware of san francisco and

>> an interesting example that fascinated me while writing the book, if you told someone i will be a videogame player, they would've thought, what a loser. he has a substance abuse problem. it is obvious. if you set i will be a videogame coach someday, they would have had you committed. nowadays because of this massive surge in production and this growing demand among people for entertainment, video gaming is now a career. not just that the mba has a videogame leak that pays the players 35,000 year, there are some of the highest in the world. the players make in the millions of dollars a year. yes, there videogame coaches. that is now professional classification. people are paid to coach people to play video games. that is a real career that is growing by the day. >> if you are good at football, should you be able to major in college football? >> without question. only worthwhile major you can do in college. unlike with business, you can run a company regardless of whether you went to college or not. regardless of your major. you can get into writing. college football is the one thin

watching people.g these days i'm in front of the camera, in the front of the room, but people fascinate me. their mannerisms, idiosin rah says, how they hold themselves, what they talk about. all of that, for me, is material for books and stories. as a writer, you have to be a really good observer and listener. those are two attributes a t writer has to have. you have to be the one eaves dropping and watching everybodys else. and for me, people ask me where do you get your from. i get up every day and i walk out the door. i don't have my face buried in a laptopp or an iphone. i'm actually watching the world and trying to seize the potential of a particular scene. i see two people talking on a corner and one of them turns and walks down an alley, i think about what were they talking about, and what's going to w happen to the person walking down the alley. >> host: you've referenced youre wife michelle several times in our conversation. how did you meet? >> guest: we met at a vegetarian barbecue.cu and neither one of us are vegetarian. that's just the way itit happen. the first thing she eve

people fascinate me. how to relate to each other, their mannerisms, idiosyncrasies, how they hold themselves, what to talk about. all of that is material. as writer i just think you had e to be a good observer and a listener. those are true attribute a writer has to you have to be the one eavesdropping to watch a anybody else. for me people ask me what you get your ideas some? i said i get up of day and walk out the door. i don't have a face buried in a laptop or an iphone. i'm watching the world and trying to see the potential of a particular secret ict people talking ongoing and one in terms of walked on out and i think what were the talk about and what's can happen the person who just walked down the alley? >> host: you have referenced your wife several times. how did you meet? >> guest: we met at a vegetarian barbecue. neither one of us were our vegetarian but that's the way to have. the first thing schipper said to me, she insulted me. i was this hotshot new trial lawyer for myself. i felt this tap c

for us you know to get back at the fascinates me the idea that this violin was built in sixty ninety eight that was before mozart even started composing before that beethoven started thinking about his violin concerto longer for architects and started thinking about the ed field our morning or the berliner through our morning and then i take out this violin to play in a huge oil and the sound is great. and see clinked. this year the young violinist debuted in the burden for the money he played sebelius is violent culture. music is ninety nine percent hard work and technique and only one percent inspiration he knows that from his father. stella the writer was trying to describe a certain kind of mood and doesn't have an incredible example or i might say for example that today is a dull day or something like that. i wonder what if someone is an incredibly talented and inspiring author would be able to describe this atmosphere in maybe three pages. music is like that too if you have the technical means you can work much more intensively. but. every on is twenty three years old he has pa

. >> before you go, new gallop poll that fascinates me.s the first time in a decade where democrats, when you poll democrats, they have a more positive view of socialism than of capitalism. 47% view capitalism positively. 57% view socialism positively. do you see that as a dangerous strain on your party on something your party should embrace? >> i see the republicans have been so reckless with capitalism, the tax cuts have gone to the top, people don't have health care security today, i understand why people look the other way. i believe in capitalism. i believe in not redistribution but reinvestment and rebuilding. if we go back to that, i think people, regardless what your party is, will believe in capitalism again. that's something we should seek to restore once we win in november. >> we will see what happens. i think we got 7 d9 days or something like that. >>> we have to update you on a story we have been following closely here out of yemen. cnn can now confirm the bomb that was used in that tragic attack on that school bus in yemen t

there is something about the sort of american that has always fascinated me, those who go into serviceo. he came from maple stock, his father and grandfather served in the navy. he didn't really need to serve in the navy himself and ended up in a bad situation in bingham and went on to public services. these are things he didn't have to do, but did. as you mentioned, the son and grandson of admirals, he grew up in washington, dc meeting senators and politicians as his father had a very important role in the navy there. yes, he didn't have to fight in vietnam's. he certainly didn't have to become a navy pilot, i think it helped the obligation to go into the naval academy and follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, but he put himself in harms way time and time again and he demonstrated bravery not only as a pow but also in this horrible fire that happen on an aircraft carrier when he was —— before he was a pow, he added three bombs to prevent them from exploding in a fire, a remarkable act of bravery to keep that set —— kick that carrier from sinking. there was also anothe

very naturally onto writing where i get to indulge myself by guiding deeply into the topics that fascinate me so much. at the end of those arduous process, if i'm really lucky, we end up in a room like that, people who are curious about the same sorts of things that i am. i feel very fortunate here tonight to be with all of you and i know you are all curious people too. or he would be endorsed on a beautiful summer evening devoting yourself to be here. is curious, i know you won't mind if we begin our time together with one of those "why" questions. why write a book about bees? my interest in these dates back to my time in graduate school where i was studying the pollen dispersal and genetics of these large rain forest trees in central america. i had gone out and genetically fingerprinted all of the adult trees of a particular species in this landscape so that i could see how the genes were moving around amongst them, and i knew that something up there, out of sight, in the rain forest canopy was moving pollen around, not just between neighboring trees but among individuals of a mile and a ha

this idea of a bulldozer, front end loader in the middle of the white house just fascinated me. we have to go back to 1898, the united states in the spanish-american war acquired puerto rico. they were never quite sure what to do with it. it itsdn't want to give independence but they didn't want to be seen as some sort of empire. gave the puerto ricans american citizenship in 1917. all set toey were create a commonwealth. there was a separatist, nationalist group that didn't want this to happen. so, they were organized -- the leader of this plan this uprising for october 31, he wanted something dramatic to happen in washington. if they could have something dramatic in washington like an assassination attempt on the president, that would draw people's attention. there's two guys living in new york at the time, they came down through washington on the train, they had never been to washington, one of them really didn't know how to shoot the gun he had been given. they didn't know where anything was. knew thenew the map -- map in the phone book. they didn't even know that truman was

. >> what fascinated me about ventriloquism was basically seeing a little wooden doll, so to speak, comening down the street the other day, the strange thing, i never seen you run as fast as you ran the other day. i can talk better than you, and i'm a dummy. >> the basics of ventriloquism is the friction between the ventriloquist and the dummy. >> i certainly as a kid until recently thought of them as two people. >> it's always fascinating to see how people reinvent the dynamic of the relationship of the comedy team. >> you know, how about you and me putting together an act? >> oh, no, sorry, i only work in the single. >> oh, okay. >> jim henson and frank oz created duos, they replicated their own friendship through these puppets. i would say that bert and ernie were one of the most famous comedy duos of all time. the classic tall, skinny one and the short, pudgy one. >> bert, you're not mad at me, are you? >> no. >> anybody ever tell you you've got eyes like ping-pong balls floating in green motor oil. >> you just write about the essence of the characters. when i'm talking to miss piggy

what fascinated me in reading it if they knew a lot of the players. i was in, but thankfully not in. a lot of the episodes that went on. how you pieced it all together is just amazing to me. multinational, many years what was the process of piecing it all together, doing the investigation and running a really compelling book. >> thank you. i want to say that alan knows what he's talking about. he feels the awareness and things come of it was the chief executive of the 1994 world cup in the united states. he was in charge of running the most successful workup in history, certainly the best attended world cup in history in terms of number of people who went through it and one that turned a very tidy profit compared to some of the others. alan also was president of the united states soccer federation, one of those associations he mentioned the country's operations and reports directly to fifa. allen also is a cofounder of major league soccer which is the professional league that has two teams here in los angeles and played all over the country. he's been

the decisive effects he had on , how we think about money and government today is what fascinates me about hamilton. almost like he gets born in 1782, the phenomenon i am talking about, the creative force i'm talking about starts about there. i'm looking at the arc of an action, not just thinking and hass, but an action that some very compelling drama to , as we say which today, is highly problematic, but without which we might not be here as the nation that we are. in a sense, hamilton created the nation. in an economic sense. the thing is, the details of that story get left out. you would not think they get left out, it is the reason he is famous, secretary of the treasury. you would not think they would get left out, there have been a lot of biographies of hamilton, and yet they do get left out not here, the -- museum of american finance, necessarily, but people do not necessarily like to hear the words the economic nation, or the word finance. i am writing a book on this subject and my agent said to me when i was pitching it to him, i would say, the financial -- he would say, don

sebastian gorka, he fascinates me. >> he was supposed to be on my show but he changed his flight anded. >> gorka! >> i'm the consolation prize. >> do you have hannity tonight? all right, well then, richard. >> i interviewed a group of the tuskeegee airmen. >> that is great, great. >> very impressive. they blew me away. >> i would saying iy pop. about 15 years ago, iggy pop. it's like three hours. i was drunk. i was very nervous. bradley stein, sounds familiar, if there was a yearbook superlatives edition of "the five" you would be most likely to what? this is a great game show. can i go to you first? this the longest facebook segment ever. most likely to what? >> get bleeped. [laughing] >> yeah. adult edition. >> now do him. >> most likely to read a book. >> very funny. >> not nice to make fun of some one who can't read. amazing you got this far. >> yeah. >> made for tv movie. richard? >> best guest. >> oh, wow. >> dagen? >> since this the first time i've been on the show, most likely to get asked back a second time. >> oh! >> i have to take issue with best dressed. richard was weari

into the topics that fascinate me so much. at the end of one of those longer projects. if i'm really lucky. i end up in a room like this. i know you are all curious people also you wouldn't be indoors on a beautiful summer evening. because you are curious. with one of those "why" questions. my interest dates back to my time in graduate school. where i was studying the pollen dispersal and the genetics of the large range for i have gone out and fingerprinted all of the adult trees of a particular species. so i could see how the genes were moving around. and i knew, that something up there out of sight. in the rain forest canopy was moving pollen around. and because of that tree was a member. i knew that is something. i coerced and a friend of mine into joining me for a couple of weeks. and we hired a local field assistant who is handy with a crossbow. and we spent two weeks and hauling up all manner of insect tracks. we even saw. at any rate that project was a failure. i never did learn what species was moving pollen around. and i've been looking for ways to chase after

it was a fascinating me doary. >> i saw her years ago at the kennedy center and you could nor see att be on your feet. at home if you watchedou it were on your feet and soaring through the rooftop. >> so more to come. more to come. >>> on to other news now. the fate of psident trump's former campaign chairman is now in the hands of they. six men and six women willur j decide whether manafort should tofound guilty in connection bank fraud and tax evasion charges. the jury got the case this morning and has beende berating all day. if paul manafort is convicted, he could face decades in prison. he also still faces a separate trial in connection to the special counsel's probe here in the district. >>> the parents of the university of maryland football player who died of heat stroke earlier this summer now say head coach d.j. durkin should resign or should be fired on tuesday the university president accepted legal andns moral resility for mcnair's death but stopped short of firing the head coach. he andthletic director d mcnair's parents promising anst ination into these espn reports tha

this idea of a bulldozer, front end loader in the middle of the white house just fascinated me.i am weird that way. we also have to go back to 1898, the united states in the spanish-american war acquired puerto rico. and they were never quite sure what to do with it. they didn't want to give it its independence, but they didn't want to be seen as some sort of colonial empire. so, they gave the puerto ricans american citizenship in 1917. in 1950, they were all set to create the commonwealth that we have now. there was a separatist, nationalist group that didn't want this to happen. they thought they could rise up, throw out the americans, and return puerto rico to some kind of ideal lease in the caribbean, which it probably never was. so, they were organizing. the leader in puerto rico planned this uprising for october 31, he wanted something dramatic to happen in washington because nobody cared what happened in puerto rico. but if they could have something dramatic in washington like an assassination attempt on the president, that would draw people's attention. so there's two gu

when the teacher gave me the bible, the most amazing thing is that what fascinated me is we have the same message. if you really look at the sources like the koran and the bible, it's the same message. that's why unfortunately we are stuck in the negative side rather than thinking about the positive side. >> host: how a are your family and friends now? obviously they were very skeptical of your work when you started doing it. do they approve now of your interfaith activism? >> guest: i mean i receive a lot of support from friends who went against me on things like that. the whole situation in yemen, it's hard for people to focus on the message. because of the airstrikes and their way of living i think people are just trying to survive every day. people don't even have water in their houses and is just so sad. right now i'm drinking water with you and i don't even know what they are drinking bear. that's the situation in yemen but yes i receive a lot of feed back from people of heard about the story they tell me we were sure we were able to help you when you were in yemen. plus i hope

it is less fascinating to me because you have the federal level of the fbi, the local at the red squad, it is almost like an interweaving type of web of surveillance. >> how important is this convention as you talk to fellow historians? >> this is where we come as scholars to share our work, to hear feedback, to get questions, to get criticism as we hone and sharpen our abilities. a live audience is really invaluable. the type of questions and issues people raise always helps to sharpen one's own work. >> my final question to you, moving ahead, what are your questions? or do you want to go next? >> i am deeply interested as a next step with the red squads were doing, and why they were doing it, and how they justified it. i am currently working on a particular topic in memphis, tennessee, martin luther king, it was the 50 year mark of his assassination, had a very strong powerful and deeply interwoven police department effort to undermine activists. it is important to me because there are records that survive, and that is not always the case. there is one police department in memphis th

that's fascinating to me because then you have the federal level with the fbi, the local with the red squads, it's almost like an interlocking, interweaving web of surveillance. >> how important is this convention as you talk to fellow >> historians. >> this is where we come as scholars to share our work, to hear feedback, to get questions, criticism, as we hone and sharpen our own arguments. so my ability to present to an audience of peers is really invaluable and the type of questions and issues that people raise always helps to sharpen one's own work. >> which is my final question to you. moving ahead. >> yes. >> what are your questions? where do you want to go next? >> i am deeply interested in what, as a next step what the red squads were doing. and why they were doing it and how they justified it. i'm currently working on a particular topic in memphis, tennessee, martin luther king, we just celebrated the 50 year -- not celebrated, marked the 50 years of his assassination, had a very strong, powerful, and deeply interwoven police department effort to the undermine act so so i'm

what fascinates me about this is his brand is as an adversary of trump. but i think he's sort of an analog of trump. and he's very trumpian in so many ways, including this manipulation of the media, including overpromising things that never materialized. how many things did he say he'd show us, we'd never seen the context of? >> other women he's vetting. >> right, avenatti has a lot of donald trump in him. >> and now what do you make of this as a senior democratic senator? would you support avenatti? >> i would not support avenatti for president of the united states. i'm not sure i'd support him for any political office unless he can demonstrate some knowledge of the issues. and something other than just showmanship. which perhaps he has done very well for his client. but less so maybe on the legal front. but the point here is that the trump team is relying on showmanship and circus, to bring down the investigation, to degrade and demean the process. and i think the court of public opinion's going to be very harsh on him. >> quick final word, how long do

. >> this always fascinates me. people who identify at white have any opinion about immigration whatsoever. i'm pretty sure indigenous people in this country find them to be the immigrants saying who are you to set the rules for who's living in my country? unless laura ingraham can tell me what tribe she's from or african nation she was involuntarily brought here from she shouldn't have an opinion on this subject. the other thing to recognize historically whiteness was invented in this country to capture european immigrants and give them a safety net. we know when irish people first came they were not accepted but could asimmenate into whiteness. that power struggle provides some benefit and other detriment. we know certain immigrants coming from certain places do not get that same protection. and this game laura ingraham is playing is patently racist and one in which she invalidates the claims of racism. said what she said, a dog whistle. >> bull horn. >> coded language. a very loud dog whistle, coded language and

this state fascinates me. look at a state where the president, to his credit, turned pennsylvania, turned wisconsin, turned michigan. you study those states. was it just a one campaign? was it the clinton campaign's failings? was it some way the president talks? since then, you have scott walker, national republican figure as your governor, the speaker of the house, paul ryan, the president loved the fact -- he likes to give out his maps. look at the states i turned. now he has tariffs, and he's saying boycott harley-davidson. listen to speaker ryan and governor walker trying to dance around that one. >> yeah, the president has a style that's different. he knows that i don't like tariffs either, but i think at the end of the day, we hopefully can get an agreement here that opens up more access to our products in europe. i think that's good for everybody, including h harley-davidson. >> i want harley-davidson to do well here in the state of wisconsin. i think one of the best ways for that to happen is for us to

me. but it came too late for that. but it's fascinating to me the way in which historical reputations are made and broken and remade. and in iniz izeisenhower's case there's no doubt that the people who did him the greatest arm were the kennedys. it's fair, it's politics, but the kennedys began running against eisenhower in 1957 when john kennedy first came on the scene as a plausible national candidate and they never let up. and almost all of the language of which we're familiar, eisenhower is a dunce, he's a dummy, he plays too much golf. he's detached, he's cold, he's above -- he has no passion. he doesn't understand the powers of the presidency. failed to grapple with the machinery of the executive office. that is all right out of the john kennedy for president 1960 playbook. he inveptinvented that vision o h -- ieisenhower. he beat eisenhower and eisenhower knew it and he hated it. it's one of the biggest political disappointments he said of his entire life, was that kennedy won. it's not that nixon lost, mind you. i think he was ambi

what i find really interesting that was the relationship of those two men which is fascinating to me. churchill and fdr of course were great friends. npr dies and truman who was this -- fdr dies and truman who was this interloper. they meet for the first time at potsdam and the fascinating thing to me about when they first met is right on that same day, almost at the exact same moment, because of the time difference, they're meeting for the first time at potsdam and the trinity shot is going off in new mexico. that would say a lot of the portents of what would happen because of that relationship. outstanding talk, thank you very much. i think we are going to do the questions later, so we are up now. who is next? rob, would you like to -- randy is next? randy, already introduced him, terrific archivist and some helpful to me throughout the years. i'm proud to introduce randy, please. [applause] >> thank you very much. i am randy sole, i'm an archivist at the harry s. truman library in missouri, a long way away from here. my topic is the berlin airlift but it is more specifically harry

me all the time. it remains fascinating to me, i did not know about rogers, did not know about other self train people come i didn't know about john clark when i was in the bookstore, i learned about mrs. houston, i learned about people like rogers because i was supply books to people in jail. people in the jails would send their relatives to the bookstore and say, to have this book and they had no idea what was. after doing research, i do find these people. they would send messages saying you're probably not be a will find it because they really don't want the truth out there. so i would do the research and i would find the book. the truth was, there is no economic basis for anyone to publish these books. it's not the way people didn't want books out there, there is no economic model that would support the publishing of the books. and that then became part of the mission. recognizing this, the idea that it cannot be brought to press because it wasn't economical just frustrated me. let me from the bookstore into the publishing. i found tons of them. i've been doing this work almost 40 years. i haven't

kind of context of america is at peace, but of americans participate in foreign wars is just fascinating to me. they're certainly aspects about the resonate today. >> and there's no u.s. involvement in the flying tigers until pearl harbor? >> before pearl harbor, the timeline is these and venturing airmen and around 1940, 1941, roosevelt decides that america is going to take increasingly aggressive action. he gives a speech in december 1940 talking about how we have personal democracy. he mentions airplanes in that speech a number of times. not too far from where we are right now, secretary morgan bolles helmets were a lot of these meetings took place to organize this effort. secretary of the treasury at the time henry morgan dowd had the steep interest in china. he had organized a lot of day to go over there and becomes very close for tv soon, chinese emissary here at the time and that relationship then transformed into the idea as china was losing its war and is going worse and worse, why doesn't america send over some planes in pilot not under official auspices to help the chinese. the even

having siances, and the 1860s, talking to the dead, and the fox sisters in 1848, the thing that fascinated me, i was familiar with the academic work, things like keith thomases religion in the decline of magic, as we become more modern in the enlightenment, our belief in things like witches and monsters and ferries are diminishing, and yet in the 1850s, in a time of steamships in the telegraph, transatlantic cable telegraphs link new york and london, people in america and other parts of europe, particularly in american, dust in america, are fascinated with talking to spirits. how do you have both things? moving towards modernity, establishing the canal, steamship, telegraph, and also looking back to beliefs that would not be out of place in salem in 1690?>>> keep that in the back of your head, when i say conspiracy theorists, or we talk about american conspiracies, what are some of the kind of conspiracies we are talking about? what are the ones that you know of in the united states?>> we did not land on the moon. >> the moon hoax. >> some said the las vegas shooting was employed by the gover
