oh, my gosh, i can still remember everything of the two hours, dustin hoffman, customer as a deranged maniac. it blue my -- blew my head of. i was captured by this. what was this all about? in the 1980s when some of the morning came out, this story made me think, boy, i'd like to return to that someday, and then in 2006 when i was finishing mayflower, in that book i write about the iconic book that many americans associate with the beginning of this country, the pilgrims and the voyage of the may flower. then i realized the story doesn't end with the first thanksgiving. i took it to the first time when innative conflict e resulted known as -- erupted to which many americans know nothing about. we think of the civil war being the bloodiest, but when you look at the percentage of population killed, king fill lip's -- phillip's war was twice as deadly. this is my take on the iconic beginning. where does this process lead? where does the push west across this continent leave in an iconic sense? it leads to the battle of the little big horn. i got up the courage to tackle this event that t

lisa hoffman? thank you for your patience and for being here. >> thank you for inviting me. good afternoon. i just wanted to talk a little bit about the 911 communications because that is my field of expertise. ordinarily, 911 dispatchers in the state of california for debate in the peace officers standards and training program. that training is reimbursed by the state of california. our dispatchers go on to receive about 32 weeks of on-the-job training, working one-on-one with a public safety dispatcher that his experience and a communications training officer. unfortunately, there is not a lot for widespread embrace men of looking into enhancing the mental health training for dispatchers on an ongoing program. we can solicit that. they reimburse, and they also reimbursed through the peace officers using the men this model. santa clara county uses the memphis model, and they have a reimbursement program. imagistic in the commission hopefully seeking dispatchers' inclusion in the program because oftentimes, we are considered an agile, and many times, we do not find out about

trillion dollars something that the us has policy the point of no return his new york resident nor hoffman took to the streets of gotham to find out if people really think america is set to hit rock bottom. the u.s. has a new budget coming out can america ever go bankrupt this week let's talk about that well we're already bankrupt so it's like credit card debt i mean. can you go at what point you hit bottom and what point do you start screaming about it china has too much invested in dollar to let america go bankrupt so now we're something that someone else has to take care of. right now. if anything happens there's going to other countries who are going to do that for us is that fair. be laid up on not saying that everything's alright rosy at this point we're certainly not at a critical point and i think what you're pointing out is the fact that we need increased global cooperation it's not just a problem that can be fixed unilaterally either within the within the euro or within the us economy it's something that has to be fixed globally how do you stop spending when you've got. thirty th

. >> reporter: the same thing happened to john hoffman. his statement had more than $3,000 in charges that were not his. >> what really stood out was the fact that there were all kinds of charges in the areas of town we never frequented. and for businesses that we never used. so like the gas stations. there was a whole bunch of gas station chanchs. we don't use our credit cards for charging gas at all. >> reporter: they both traveled on american airlines from the airport where santa clara county investigators say this woman, 49-year-old johnson helped them as their ticket agent at the counter. detectives say her and close to 350 other travelers gave their credit card to johnson. she stole the charges. >> i do remember checking the monitor and a woman there, but nothing was suspicious or strange. >> reporter: now, prosecutors say johnson then used those counterfeit credit cards at safeways like this one and purchased best buy gift cards, target gift cards. investigators say she would then go to best buy and pay iphones and ipads and then pu

coverage of the unrest in egypt giving a picture on what's going on there want to find out laurie hoffman is also a name as the resident hit the streets of new york to ask people what they think. thousands upon thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in cairo is this a welcome revolution or an out now try it this week let's talk about that figures of revolution actually should be so did you know much of the situation in egypt before the media started covering what was going on. do you think that what the media puts out there skews our perception of what's going on pretty much as they called it a riot would you feel differently yes why do you think the media sometimes calls an event a riot and sometimes calls it a revolution but i think it probably depends on the news commentator he's imposing his opinion on the scene do you think that the news always does that you know about everybody goes i mean we were in there you are there are no objective people in the world we all come with our mind probably already made up do you think that there media's coverage of what's going on in egy

i am david hoffman. i am a contributing editor of foreign... >> in terms of numbers, the kgb -- >> we're interested in more and more visitors speaking here. it did a lot to help us put this together in a short period of time. in an earlier period i was a moscow correspondent for the washington post. those of us who remember when it was like to be a correspondent even before me in times of soviet union will recall correspondents were prohibited from going 25 miles outside of moscow without permission from the authorities. it was a very difficult environment and i know peter osmosis is with us today, was a correspondent in that time and remembers it more vividly than i do. and after the soviet collapse when i was a correspondent, there were all so many risks to being a correspondent. since 2017 russian journalists have been killed including many who foul sometimes on their own and sometimes under coercion to the new authoritarianism. today we have a chance to talk to two journalists working in today's russ

about what he wanted, but when i was a graduate school, then ask that the lbj library would be at hoffman. that was enormously controversial. there were demonstrations because this was in the late 1960's and early 1970's. now if you tried to remove it from austin you'd have demonstrations and so on. that experience really taught me that the value of a presidential library, if it has a something of value and not just the mausoleum, something to move it forward like the lbj school will and the institute will hear, they are worth working towards. it was really a tough time in austin when that was announced. there are a number of faculty here who were in graduate school at the same time i was and they can verify that it was the case. that made me feel like if it were set up appropriately that it would have the men say the continuing value to the university in the greater dallas, north texas area because now there is a the kind of consolation a presidential libraries with clinton, this one, bush 41 coming and lbj kind of within driving distance. >> how much money did you have to raise for this

i am edward hoffman, i am fred's -- i wish this would have been entitled if the times were still reading two things. what about philosophy? you asked if people give up their "times" subscription. i did as a result of what i thought was disgraceful reporting and commentary regarding the tee paired -- tea party and the congressman being shot in arizona. it was journalism at its worst and i'm wondering that keeps bleeding into the rest of the editorials and actually i don't think reading the editorial page is worth any more. the second is regarding accuracy. ever friend, who is serving in iraq and a number of years ago the new york times, when the mess was really happening reported there had been a terrible attack which involved the shooting. apparently with the "times" was doing was -- that in one leave the safety of that debt. they got a report in they ran with it so i wish i could believe what they say is going on in cairo. between their editorial page going off the wall and the fact that i couldn't trust among other stories i'm wondering if the "times" is any more worthy of being read t

why did he go after hoffman in organized crime which he did?the criminal activities too so much because of their capacity to corrupt the government, and that's something he wouldn't stand for. so it's interesting that today we celebrate bobby from his accomplishments in civil rights, his ability against all odds to get the passage of the 1960 story of the civil rights act, but i'd like you to think of it in a broader context. i don't think it was bobby's accomplishment in civil right alone that gave mim that rep -- him that reputation. what he did while achieving the goal of equal protection for blacks, what he did was to preserve the federal system and to preserve a government of law, and for that, it doesn't make any difference what your race or politics are,s country ought to be very grateful. i often think of bobby as a leader because he was a leader. he appointed exceptional people into the department of justice to help him run it. you never dporgt at any time -- forgot at any time that bobby was the attorney general, the person what made

. >> david hoffman from foreign policy magazine. your conclusion that the material from the undisclosed location positive but does that mean it could have been used in these events and could you may be explained whether there was any other explanation for why the result was positive but it wasn't grow? >> first of all, has i think you know, we were provided very little information about these efforts in this work so we are limited in what we know and can say. what we do know from the limited information that was provided is that there were several collection missions to this overseas undisclosed site. multiple methods including the pcr molecular test as well as the cultivation efforts were both applied to the samples that were brought back to the united states. from at least one and perhaps to of those overseas collections missions, there were inconsistent but some positive results using of the molecular approach, but no positive results from the use of the cultivation. from the third collection mission, we are told that both molecu
