since c-span: have you been back to n, hanoi or saigon and then?to go you ever intend to go back to .n >> guest: no, not intentionally. but desire and hope, yes. c-span: are you an american citizen? >> guest: not yet. >>hy?n: are you going to become one? >> guest: i think in the future perhaps. c-span: why?ushed >> guest: i don't know. my wife and son and family always pushed me to apply for american citizenship and theyyog say they you are old now and itt is about time and so i think ifl my mother country is vietnam, my so father country is america. so this is, there's nothing wrong with that.your book c-span: let me read what you said in your book on page 332.ce he said if americans knew how ty deal with other people, they could bring peace to the world.e alas, they have not learned enough yet.e a true american feels it is 100d welcome wherever he goes. almost the way that americans treat tr. other people, it almost guarantees that the world willia suffer a more terrible fate. i say this as a friend who understands and admires america, and one a who h

he had to basically flee for his life. c-span: how did he go? >> guest: he caught the train and was very careful about not making himself to visible in the hours and days before he left. c-span: what time of day-to-day leave? >> guest: he left on the train in the afternoon. he could only go when the train was leaving. he was leaving for wildwood florida. c-span: would anyone have tried to stop him? >> guest: they apparently didn't try to stop him. he discreetly asked a friend of his if he would take them to the train station. they drove carefully so as not to attract attention. in other words he did not want to let anyone know that he was preparing to leave so he was very careful about that. .. >> there was no trouble getting work because being male was an advantage in that era. it was during world war ii when he left as opposed to may who left during the depression. we was a railroad reporter and he went back and forth and there is a lot of stories of him seeing the migration and running into the experience of going south. going from a place tha

c-span: did you go there? >> guest: oh yes indeed and both of the letters at dartmouth and to the site in cornish. c-span: i know you say you used information from over 30 different cetaceans -- institutions but how many places did you physically go? >> guest: just about all of them. harvard, yale, collections in boston, places in new york, collections here in washington. c-span: in chicago? >> guest: chicago. i love that. i love that part of it. c-span: how many times did you go to paris in the middle of writing's? >> guest: we would go at least once a year or so we would stay about two weeks or so. the research was almost all here because the letters are here. the diaries are here. the letters are written to people.com. the diaries were brought home so the diaries are accessible in this country and as is of utmost importance a newspaper which was published in paris in english. the library of congress has a complete set of all those newspapers and they are invaluable. gallic nonny's is still a bookshop. c-span: isn't he an italian? >> guest: he was a italian from england who started the newspaper.

c-span: maybe i missed it, but you didn't answer the question about whether you're going to do another book. >> guest: no, i didn't. [laughter] c-span: what's your thinking? >> guest: oh, i'm thinking all the time about it. something happens when one of these ideas just clicks, and that's it. and i can't explain what that process is. and i just know that's what i want to do. and it'll happen. it'll be different. i've, i've never undertaken a subject that i knew a lot about. i didn't know much about john adams. i knew a certain amount. i wasn't an adams scholar or a truman scholar or a brooklyn bridge scholar. i, and if i knew all about it, i wouldn't want to the write the book because, to me, the pull is the adventure of it, learning. i think about how much i'm going to learn by taking on this subject. and i don't want to -- i want to be surprised, i want to make discoveries. i want to not just make discoveries of some collection of letters in some place you wouldn't expect to find them, but i want to make the discovery that comes with suddenly, oh, i get it, that's how it worked. or t

go to st. louis to do it. c-span: by st. louis? >> guest: that seems to be where the project is for finding out how it can be applied to individuals predicaments and medicine. it will be commonplace. there is a lack of funding and i would say a word about this right now so people can write their congressmen and the most recent budget a terrible collapse. and of course it is a stupid attempt to limit the extent to which actually existing cells can be used for this kind of thing. and i've become -- but i was anyway before this but i would like to become more than i am not an advocate for overcoming these scientific obstacles for medical research. c-span: so you get your treatment at nih? >> guest: i've had various tests that i go to my regular oncologist in bethesda who consults over the internet with a panel of like-minded experts and they were gone catching elsewhere and work out a protocol for me and adjust it every few weeks. c-span: in the "vanity fair" december issue you wrote about a woman who came up to you when you were sign

to potentially losing him. those were physically taxing for me. c-span: you have to go back the next day to do another operation? >> guest: yes. the same day i had to go back to do it again. with those we don't talk about the emotional weight i talk about this but i and the one to admit every day to get up in the morning to tell myself i can do this there is no one better. i have to believe every time i go into the operating room someone's life is in my hand i am fully capable but then to walk that fine line between confidence and arrogance. c-span: back it up to what seems to be of metaphor of falling into the tanker. how long a johns hopkins? >> guest: six years and before that university of california said for cisco and before that harvard medical school. i did for years said with one-year howard hughes doing research investigation. c-span: you are only 43. >> guest: so. c-span: where ever you before that? >> guest: at the university of california at uc-berkeley and before that between 88 and 91 at a small community college at stockton california right before uc-berk

go. to embark on the greater journey. c-span: this renoir painting, you know, when i first saw it, this had to cost them a lot of money to put it on there, but i assume -- is it out of copyright, or do you own the painting? [laughter] >> guest: no, no, that belongs to the museum. pont neuf, the new bridge. still there, looks just exactly like that. you can walk out to that very spot by the bridge, and except for the wagons and horses on the bridge in the painting, would be automobiles and buses now. and for many people that bridge, particularly in that day before the eiffel tower had been built, say, that bridge was the essence of paris. and it still is. it's one of the host magnificent -- most magnificent spots anywhere in the world because you really feel you're there. when you're out on the bridge, you're looking up or down the river, you see note redame -- notre dame, you see the louvre, you see the national institute on the other side of the pont neuf, the next bridge up the river. and one fellow, john sanderson from philad

going to do. you know every single thing this my brain right now. c-span: you say in the book one of the things you have changed is patient no longer needs to have a relationship with their primary care doctor, that you go right -- in other words, you go around that rather than that time. explain that. >> guest: well, one of the things that i began to realize, and i think that has made my relationship with my patients very strong, is that sometimes what we do as surgeons in a specialty is we try to come in as, like, the potential forces. we just -- like the special forces. we just go in, and we think about taking the tumor out, and we tend to think, that's it, that's all we can do. when in reality what i've been able to do in my group is to take that tissue, work in the laboratory to try to find a cure. and then i turn around, and i get the patients involved in not only their own care, but also in being part of history. i consent them so they can donate that tissue. those come strictly from the institutional review board of hopkins. so they feel part of hi

c-span: and what do you think of the whole process? >> guest: it took seven months and no sleep and i don't know when i'm going to do it again. c-span: here's the cover of the book. our guest has been michelle malkin. it's called "invasion." thank you very much. >> guest: thank you. .. ..

c-span: you also talk about going to the funeral of mrs. roosevelt and meeting someone outside, what was that, 1962? >> guest: yes. c-span: in new york? >> guest: it was in new york and it was at the cathedral of st. john the divine, and over the years i had kept in touch with mrs. roosevelt. in fact, she was very helpful. but there was a young woman, augusta her name was, who had been working for mrs. roosevelt and then she lost her health, but in mrs. roosevelt's last days, she brought her back to be with her. and she and i went to that -- came out and saw each other at the conclusion of that memorial service for mrs. roosevelt. and as we stood there in the rain, she talked about mrs. roosevelt, but the thing that got to me the most was that she said that the fact that mrs. roosevelt would send for her after she had been away from her almost 20 years meant a lot to her. and then mrs. roosevelt was having such pain and needed to be turned over, and when she reached to do it, she said mrs. roosevelt said, "augusta, don't forget the doctor to

or can also send us a tweet go to facebook.com/c-span. esident tong the go to ferguson, missouri himself in order to calm the situation there. and mark a path forward. the hill newspaper reports that the white house is has not ruled out sending the president to ferguson. it goes on to say -- we turn to you. what do you think? should president obama go to ferguson, missouri? a republican caller is up first. caller: no, he should not. is blunt and quick -- thinks this is a psychological operation. he wants to pull martial law on the entire country and that's why they have the militarized police. the governor and the national guard, the situation with the unarmed peopleng so this is a pandora's box that has opened up there in caller: host: what about the coming weeks after it calms down. caller: it's not going to calm down. you have to face reality. people are coming from other cities. america is on financial life support. we are heading toward a race war. he wants to do this anyway. host: ron, miami, florida, democratic caller, what do you t

to leave so he was careful. c-span: where defeat of first? >> guest: he went to harlem. he had previously tried to detroit's and found detroit was not going to work for him because he had actually -- he was there when there was a riot and that scared him off and he went to florida and this last time. c-span: along the way where were these folks getting their money? c-span: >> guest: they had been saving, they lived a meager lives. george swanson starling's father was the owner of a quarter store. didn't have lots of money but he had means of being able to save something. doris darling self was quite frugal. during the days they were winning, he was saving a lot of money. they were making so much more money than they were before. c-span: what did he do when he got to harlem? >> guest: he took the job as a rail reporter where he ended up going right back to the south he had sworn he would never go back to. he found no trouble finding work because being mailed gave him an advantage in that year at and he also -- it was during world war ii that he left as opposed to ida mae brandon gladney who left during the depression so life was easier so

but besides all that, when is he going to be said, when are we going to be sure -- i watch c-span all the time. when we have a topic to where we can discuss -- when are we going to hold the middle east accountable for their own countries? when is a we're going to go to the united nations, okay, and sit down to the table and discuss the whole issue going on in the middle east. we can't just simply provide them with support, aid, guns, so forth and so on. it needs to be systematically structured to go to the u.n., hold all of the middle east accountable. you can't just a little pockets here and there, here and there and all of a sudden pashtun we then did what, 20 years now? >> host: so you want to see more of the coalition transferred more of a coalition, a sit down discussion with all of our allies, france and britain and all these others, and, all the g8, the g7, all these countries that always get in the middle of these wars. we don't need that. in order for us to have a war it needs to be more of a coalition. but with proof that the middle east needs their own leaders to step up to

c-span cities to her. we travel across the country highlighting the literary life and history of each city we visit. website,re, go to our c-span.org, and click on series, and then click on c-span cities tour. historyn's american tour next friday focuses on native americans. we start off with the battle of the little bighorn, also known as custer's last and. stand. last floridah mission in devoted to converting native americans to christianity. more now from c-span stewart of the people, places and events of the civil rights movement. in 1963, the ku klux klan bombed the 16th street apt is church in birmingham alabama, killing four african-american girls.

and the reason why i am saying that is when are you going to ask or c-span going to ask if the iraqiser to syrians -- if the iraqis or syrians responsible for their own actions? and the iraqis wanted us out of iraq. we got out. and now everything that goes wrong, it's our responsibility. i think it is a ridiculous question. and as far as people like john mccain and lindsey graham, and they are -- until they are standing on the front line, i don't want to hear anything they have to say. >> sounds good. what about the humanitarian effort? >> caller: that part we can help in whatever way we can. we're not responsible for everything that goes on in that region. >> you disagree because the "financial times" editorial says about britain specifically but perhaps could be applied to the united states that as part of the u.s.-led invasion of 2003, britain is complicit in iraq's disarray. >> caller: i am saying we can help in whatever way we can, but military action is not the only solution to these problems. i don't understand why if the president should want to send troops into syria, and the r

to why she's doing this: john in new york. democratic caller. c-span.thanks for john in flushing, new york, democratc caller. john, go ahead. >> caller: yes. thanks to c-span. so with respect to mrs. clinton's comment about obama saying, using referencing the phrase "doing stupid stuff," i think that she's been akip to doing stupid -- akin to doing stupid stuff by virtually sanctioning the war against iraq that was built upon this fictitious weapons of mass destruction situation. and her commentary is, obviously, some political, with some political gain. and i think obama has been rather pragmatic, thoughtful. this light of all the chaotic situations that's going on in the world today, we can't continual continually rush headlong -- >> host: if she runs for president, do you vote for her in a democratic primary? >> caller: i'd rather vote for rand awl because she's nothing -- paul because she's nothing but a neo-con anyway. >> host: so you would switch from being a democrat and vote for rand paul. >> guest: if she's running, yes. >> host: okay, thank you. >> caller: thanks, thanks for c-span. this is not something a longheld view, this is about potential p

[laughter] religion is an important factor, and plays a role to legitimate, recruit and motivate, studies of most jihadist and movements like isis show that the primary drivers are to be found elsewhere. past, this hast remained true to the europeans and americans who joined isis. studies by the european network of experts on violent as well as those by terrorism experts show that, in most cases, religion is not the primary source but rather a long list of grievances. these are grievances that are seeing -- being seen across society even by those who may not be radicalized but will be and site american. anti-american. the gopher grievances that are not specific and peculiar to just a segment of the population were to terrorists themselves. the drivers include moral outrage, disaffection, peer pressure, search for new identity, meaning, purpose, and belonging. these drivers come out of studies from five european countries as well as some studies done on the u.s. for many, it's the exper

now, please don't go back to the wonderful organization you work for, c-span, and tell everybody that we won the battle of midway because of cryptology. cryptologists don't win battles. if they did, poland would have won world war ii in the first week. cryptologists help, but you've got to have soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who are willing to stand in harm's way and carry the fight to the enemy. you also have to have guns, planes, and tanks, and implements of war. but even with all that cryptology with be a huge help because it can help to you know what the enemy is going to do before they do it. now, if you know that, the odds of victory are going to go up, something else will happen as well. we lost around 300 people at the battle of midway. and that's a tragedy. but the japanese lost over 2500 people. so cryptology done right not only helps you to win, but it also helps to you save lives. and if you ever have to describe to somebody what this game is all about, why it's important to break the codes of the enemy and protect your own, this still, despite the fact that it hap
