of the great awakening. he gets stereotyped because of the sermon as a fire and brimstone preacher. most of his sermons are not like this, i have to say. he preaches a lot more about the love of god than he does about the judgment of god. i think his most representative sermon, if i had to recommend one sermon for people to read bid wards, it's called heaven -- by edwards, it's called heaven is a world of love. you can find it on the internet. that's, i think, the core of edwards. but if he's on the topic, he'll also preach about judgment, and he can put it in terrifying terms, okay? but he's incredible -- i mean, i can't tell you everything. edwards is writing about, definitely about predestination, he's writing about original sin, he's writing about enlightenment challenges to the traditional christian faith and how -- and so he becomes, he's definitely one of america's greatest theologians ever. if you care about this sort of thing, you've definitely got to read edwards. he a matches enlightenment thought

it's a great, a great organization we belong to. we've been very lucky to be a part of it, be a part of the life of george and barbara bush for all these years. my first question, so you kind of came to the bush office in kind of a curious way. can you just talk a little bit about you worked for "usa today," you were, you did the doorly. so can you talk -- the diary. can you talk a little bit about how that led to barbara bush hiring you to work on her staff? >> well, it is sort of an interesting road to the white house and to the bushes' life. i was a newspaper reporter at "usa today" in 1988, the 1988 election. and barbara bush and kitty dukakis both agreed to where write a weekly column for "usa today." it was called their campaign diary. i think it ran every monday morning, and i was their editor. when i was given that assignment, i was sort of grumpy about it. i didn't want to be their editor. but it ended up being a lot of fun. i got to know both of those amazing women really well k. and after the election i was very surprised

that's the great jim lane. he's chairman emeritus of john -- i want to say bernie, big real estate company in san diego. wonderful guy. you know, the image that was painted in the movie, this guy goes to catholic church every morning. devout. i think he did that even before flying with us. he is one of the great human beings i had the pleasure of serving with. and he's fearless. and that's jimmy ejected. they had just taken a large dose of flak in the engines, both engines were quitting. and the front seater got out about a second later. we needed double exposure, but we didn't get it. from is the great mel holmes. are these guys talented? yeah. well he was in the service. i mean it, he was in the best in the world it. knew who the ten best were, and i put him up top. he went out and started micronesia airlines, owned his own airlines. risk takers. incredibly talented people. and there is -- this is the famous condor. he's like my son. only have one problem -- i think my wife is in love with him.

of his great-grandfather. he also talks about the repatriation of some of sitting bull's artifacts to his family and his work to teach the lakota language to the next generation. the buffalo bill center of the west in cody, wyoming hosted this event in 2012 and provided the video. >> it's an honor to introduce ernie. it's been a privilege and having him here in cody to speak. over the last three years, on each occasion, and i have had the pleasure and the honor of introducing him to a group here in buffalo bill historical center. ernie is the last surviving great grandson of sitting bull. he is a decorated vietnam vet. he runs his own charitable educational foundation called the sitting bull family foundation. he has written a book which contains the oral history of sitting bull's family. he has produced two dvds in which he is actually recounting some of the oral history of sitting bull's family. and he's got a new dvd that will be coming out later this year called "sitting bull's voice," which is about the w

and great human suffering. at the same time, the greatest threat to the united states was the soviet union. it was the only other country that had nuclear weapons of any magnitude and it was developing its military. it was actually engaging in flights over berlin for the entire cold war. the additional challenge we had was the vietnam war, which we in the nixon administration inherited. a political environment for which we were not prepared historically. in america, the domestic opinion was obsessed with the vietnam war. some kind of order -- [indiscernible] under pressure. this is why we opened to china . i had the honor of being the first american diplomatic visitor to china. this is however relationship dish -- this is how our relationship began. in a position closer to both china and russia, committed to each other. to develop a basic strategy. i'm talking about 60 years ago. in 1976, five years after the opening of china, [indiscernible] there was next to no trade. in the next decade, trade developed. ther

i think that you would have to conclude that this is a great wall and that it had to be built by a great under the circumstances it is a certainly symbol of what china in the past has been and what china in the future can become, a people that could build a wall like this certainly have a great past to be proud of and a people who have this kind of a past must also have a great future. my hope is that in the future, perhaps as a result of the beginning that we have made on this journey, that many, many americans, particularly the young americans who like to travel so much will have an opportunity to come here as i have come here today with mrs. nixon and the others in our party. that they will be able to see this wall. that they will have an opportunity as we have had an opportunity to know the chinese people and know them better and i think one of the results of our trip, we hope, may be that the walls that are erected, whether they are physical walls like this or other walls of ideology or philosophy, will not divide peoples in the world, that peoples regardless of their differences an

once a day i am here to honor my great great grandfather. he was from tennessee, so he enlisted in the u.s. color troops army in 1863. >> can you tell us a bit about your ancestor? >> what i know about him he it must have been an 1863 he was raised in tennessee, and he was with the 59th regiment and he was in the battle of -- and. he had expeditions in mississippi and he also helped protect the camp in memphis. he was there for a while and he had another expedition in tupelo he wasn't tupelo. so he had quite a few areas that he had gone to and served. he was a cannon shooter. so he did have some hearing problems by the time he was done but other than that. do >> you know what he did after the war? >> not after the war, but listening to my great great and i asked her what job he had and she said baby he didn't have a job. he was a soldier. he fought in the civil war. that was his job, and that's the only thing i knew about him. they said that his occupation before that was a farmer. other than that after the war, that's all we know. >> and so

megyn kelly has a great voice. kamala harris has a great voice and a great laugh.listen to her. if you have a place that is grating on the nerves and women we have naturally higher voices. >> host: it doesn't wear as well at the time. it's true. i love the section of the book, here for a reason. if you are there you play a role. the department defense in secretary rumsfeld's room and a classic military. often there are senior military two, three or four stars appear but the briefing would be given by a one star and that's one star is feeling jr. so the secretaries at one end of the table in the table in the one star is sitting to his life in the one star is clearly nervous and going through his briefing. first of all he had a powerpoint and that was fine because it was in color. and the briefer doesn't even look up. your rights are at it just through an secretary rumsfeld to what you think it again this is a one star. he doesn't look up and he says i scratched it and i won't read the next iteration of it. he put his hand on his shoulder and turned him to as if to l

it's a great story. i don't know how much of it is rooted in fact. michael, you wrote about it. what's your sense? fact-based or a little bit -- >> maybe a little of both. i found it interesting in '42, ted williams and mo berg were teammates on the 1939 team together. it was ted's rookie year and he had 145 rbis. moe had 5 rbis. flash forward to '42, moe is the bullpen coach and approaches red sox officials and says i would like to be let out of my contract so i can join the military. in one way or another, he volunteers to make a difference and all part of that great generation. >> go ahead, bill. >> i would like to add two things. first of all, when the red sox opened the season, the 2008 season in japan, i went to the place where moe berg was and took the pictures. it's a university hospital now and i went up to the roof to see what the view was. the skyline has changed a lot since his day. the other thing i wanted to mention. the photos that anne showed us, they were all photographs of baseball. the

you guys were great. thank you for your insights, thank you for your stories, thank you for your enthusiasm to share those stories. we are lucky to have you, i trust the audience appreciated this presentation and you know it a big fan i am of the historical society. you always treat us so well. then q so much. >> i'd like to acknowledge one thing. there was one player that came through world war ii, did not seek combat and innocence wondered if he was up to the task and when ted williams was recalled by the marine corps at the time of the korean war, he said i'm not doing any pr work. if you are calling me back, i want to get into a fighter platoon. he ended up flying 39 combat missions, seven of them of john glenn as he is one of the squadron mates there, and he crash landed on his second mission february 16th 1953. the wheels when it comes down. he had to sketch the plane along the runway to get and jump out before it burst into flames he was hit by bullets at least two other times. he definitely had hi

but we have great ones. we have great leaders out there. some of the greatest military in the world and giving it a very bad reputation of what is happening. think of it. we took this horrible place. i mean a place that just it -- we should not have been involved in. a horrible decision going into the middle east. and i know the bush family will not be happy, but i believe it was the worst decision in the history of our country when we decided to go into the middle east. it has turned out to be quicksand. we destroyed the middle east. if you think it is better now than it was 20, 21 years ago, it's much worse. it was a horrible decision. trillions of dollars and if you look at both sides, because i like to look at both sides. millions and millions of lives. it's no different than it was, it's much worse. because you have to rebuild it. it's been blown to pieces. the worst decision ever made was going, you can do a strike as retribution and it could be a big strike as retribution for the world trade center, et cetera, but to get stuck and th

soec edwards is the great defenr of the great awakening. he gets stereo typed because of the sermon as a fire and brimstoneha preexer. most of his sermons are not like this. he preaches a lot more about the love of god than the judgment. god. i think his h most representati sermon, if i had to recommend one sermon for people to read by edwards, it is call heaven is a world of love. you can finds. it on the intern. that iss i think the core of edwards bust if he's on the topic, he will also preach about the judgment of god and he can put in it terrifying terms. butin he's incredible intellect. i can't tell you everything he is writing about, definitely about predestination, writing about original sin about, enlightenment challenges to the traditional christian faith. so he becomes, he is definitely onee of america's greatest theologians. if you care about this, you have to read edwards. heoc matches enlightenment thout with traditional christianity. he lock. this is how this works with traditional christianity. he's read everything. he's's u

great to have ewe, john. >> great, great. >> i saw you probably 40 some years ago. i know you are a young man. but john turk and the third street antics. he would play all the different clubs. and then i saw you later at glide. so you have been around. tell us a little bit of your background. >> well, i actually started playing in the oakland area around 1965, '66 with a guy named johnny hartsman. he was an organ player and a flute player. he wanted to expand his band. he only had a saxophone and drum so he wanted to add an instrument. i guess he heard about me. one night i came and sat in with his band and i guess i did okay. so he hired me. and we were playing at this place called the showcase. this is the many moons ago. and he decided he didn't want to be a band leader. of us that left, we got together and formed our own organ trio. i went an bought me an organ and we got busy. >> when is the trumpet coming in? trumpet and piano at the same time. >> actually, he saw me do it. and he was known for being a little late. so he started being late at this particular g

they were often first out there with great, great material. through this they were able to introduce colored gems. in a way i like to think they seduce the american public. these are really fabulous pieces and who could resist a beautiful colored object like these. the amethysts you see in this bracelet and the other amethyst behind it. both of these by tiffani and company. but the marcus company was very, very good with colored stones. i want to share a particularly beautiful example. this one at the center which has garnet very colored with pearls. and in an animal that is translucent. it shows through your skin. another great marcus and company example is this extraordinary piece. this is a morning glory pendant and necklace. i don't know if you can see it well enough but considered as stained-glass window in miniature. the wires themselves are supporting this enameled glass. it would be very brilliant on someone's skin. it would seem natural and if you are really wearing flowers. another wonderful example is this wonderful circular pendant

i actually got -- i brought robin olds down, the great general himself, i idolized the man, great pilot. we brought him to fight melon and jc the guys on one weekend, and he's living proof of what should have happened. they should have used somebody like him and joined right in. now, they later went on a couple of really great air force sticks out in ellis, and started red flag, and you know about that, i'm sure. and after they got started, the general who controlled him, he retired or something but the air force came along and joined in with top gun today. i won't say they're joined at the hip, but they share information. they're both american fighter schools. so they share information, lord willing. they're going to end up sharing airplanes. so i don't know. >> the f-4. >> yeah. but air force, i never said a bad word about them. boy, they were -- and you know, i don't know how many of you know people that flew the f-105 in southeast asia. but they built 800 and some of them, and in the book, it's one of the reasons i had barrett tillman with me. barrett and i did a lot of research. th

august 16th we had a great weekend. hopefully you did the air quality, not the best for many of us throughout the bay area because of all the fires that are going on currently john is going to be tracking that and the weather for the next great week for you. we'll have more on the air quality. all that stuff in a moment. but good morning, john. let's focus on some positivity this supporting. yeah, i actually do have some positive news air quality and that looking at some improvements today so yesterday was a rough one as far as air quality goes, as mentioned, you probably noticed it as you stepped outside. >> but today a shift in wind direction should help us out a little bit resulting in some improvements at least temporarily as far as what you're going to be breathing in is concerned as far as the rest of the forecast goes. today's easily the hottest day of the forecast. we'll see improvements in temperatures after today. so today is going to be a hot one a lot like we had seen over the weekend, especially for inland
