hubris is terminal. it is, you know, a phrase that was uttered to me and given to me by somebody in a different context and i realized after time it was applicable not only to everybody but to me in particular. what i did was not only wrong but was a consequence of hubris and failure of judgment and self-indulgence, which is absolutely inexplicable and unjustifiable, improper. i would agree with most of mika's characterizations about it. >> so the arrogance, do you think if -- well, when you're on the campaign trail, forget about after you're elected. if you're elected, are people going see a new elliott spitzer, one who is less arrogant, one who is a bit more reflective? >> hopefully i'll be me reflective. i'm not here to quibble about the characterizations of me. >> that was your characterization. hubris is arrogance. >> but it depends on the context. i'm talking about an emotional arrogance. i think on the substantive issues where when i go back to what we did and with you're really one of very few pe

i'm going to manage it to that effect. >> i'll give you the hubris. this is my hubris, the perfect temperature for the last ten years where we had human civilization would be nice to say there. there's no reason to think that we can't. the problem is if we put the foot on the accelerator with the experiment that we're doing with the only planet that we know and we're wrong and we wind up cooking the planet, that's a bad outcome, you can't recover from. we should be moving in that direction. >> friend -- >> never senator. >> the age of the dinosaurs was dramatically warmer than this is right now and it didn't cook the planet. in fact, life was fine. >> life was fine, but not for people -- >> not for people leaving minnesota this evening to get to the caribbean versus the people leaving the caribbean to get to minnesota would argue that slightly warmer wouldn't be a crisis. >> hold on a second. >> i am. what's the right temperature? >> first of all, you are somebody who cares an awful lot about animals, about the species. >> yes. >> you've been a huge c

>> rose: of course you should. >> i have all the hubris in the world. >> rose: of course you do. i didn't worry about that for a second. this is where he has just been told they won't permit him any attendants so it is one more pulling away his power. >> okay. and here it is. >> >> the poorest thing. >> man's life is -- you want me to go to war. scarcely keeps me warm. >> oh, heavens. >> patience, i need, you see me here, a poor old man, full of grief, wretched. >> if it be you that put my daughter's hearts against me, it is too much to bear it, take me! >> >> my man's cheeks, now. >> unnatural! >> come! i will have such revenge on you both that all the world shall -- >> so be the terrors of the earth. i won't weep. this heart shall break, oh, how vile! but it just goes to show you how many ways you can do that speech and it is very interesting that that speech you chose, because only five days ago i stopped doing it the way i was doing it and realized there is another way to go. so i totally changed the reading of that. >> rose: from what to what? >> well, i did it with great bo

the reason is, i have a thing -- it might be arrogant or hubris, but i have a thing about people judging what we do. i think we do the best show that we can do and once we have done that, that's it. if they like it, they do and if they don't, we will try to do better tomorrow. but there is something about waiting for the judgment of others when you know you have done your best work. i don't need them to tell me that what i am trying to do is to get to the humanity of the person i am talking to and if you judge your success by accolades, it stifles you or forces you to do things you otherwise wouldn't do because you're trying to win the adoration of other people. >> i wish i had thought of that. i will use that. tavis: yours is funnier and the punchline comes a lot quicker. >> i was the standup, for 12 years before i went to the bob newhart show. you know you have done a good show or not and you have known if you've done am glad show. -- done a bad show. people will be applauding and you know, that was not my best. tavis: who taught you the appreciation for silence? >> yes. jack benny. hi

this guy combines the temper of russ rel crowe, the hubris of kanye west and the hair style of the predator. now granted, i will grant you this, i will grant you this. sherman clenched the nfc championship game by swatting a pass meant for san francisco 49er michael crabtree into the arms of his teammate for a game-winning interception. legally, now, i cannot show you the actual nfl footage, but trust me, it looked a little something like this. >> crabtree, looking up-- this game is over. >> stephen: one game what a game, what a game. (cheers and applause) >> stephen: that good. that good. but just listen to sherman's rant after the game. >> i'm the best one in the game. when you find me with a-- like crabtree that is what you going to getment don't you ever talk about me! (applause) (laughter) >> stephen: is the scary black man gone? now folks, i got to tell you, i am not the only one freaked out by this. twitter was all atwitter. >> there were the usual trolls who immediately emerged on twitter to deploy the "n" word and all manner of monkey, gorilla and ape analogies. >> many are calling

his insistence on holding america's feet to a moral fire be seen as hubris? toi wonder sometimes going the big mega churches who might have a martin luther king celebration, martin luther king shows up and says i'd kind of like to speak at my celebration. they'd ask him what are you going to say? i'm going to speak out against poverty and injustice and the wars that are going on. know, we have invited these political leaders and they might be embarrassed if you talk about that here -- about that. you just wonder whether he will be welcomed at martin luther king day. >> every year now come ever since the 25 years we now celebrate the anniversary of king's birth, you get this transformation of brother martin like santa claus with that lovely smile and toys in his bag and everybody is smiling and glad to see him as if he wasn't a freedom fighter who was unnerving and unsettling and and housing. he leads, making them shake in their boots, them haunting him down every day from december of 1955 to his death april 4, 1968. so he undergoes santa clausification. and i

hubris and debt. hubris is management confidence gone awry. capital spending, hiring, building inventory. i don't think we're very frothy right now. i don't see a lot of management confident. we could get a pullback any time. but the big call is a ways off. >> adam, as we go through the earnings season -- i know you do a lot of work on specters. are there sectors that if they came in worse than expected or better than expected, would change your view? do you weight one versus the other? >> the three things i try to focus on the sector level. can they beat the numbers or not on a relative scale? one of our biggest choices, health care. the lowest is staples. i don't want to own shapings when they miss. i like that pair trade, health care over staples. you'll see energy, industrials miss on a relative basis. the oil price was not present thely in the last few weeks of the quarter. i think estimate achievability is broadly okay for the earnings season. >> what do you think that investors are not positioned for outsized moves? on earnings day, you

to steal a line from steve forb, global warming is a massive human delusion, it's left wing hubris at its worst. solyndra would be booming today and exxon mobil would be going out of business. ultimately we have to ask, do we believe the free markets or al gore? and market signals say that this is a big economy sapping waste of time. >> time to put this waste of time and money on ice. >> well, you know, we -- you know what's terrible, we've spent a lot of money, right? what was it you were saying at the break, $9 billion? >> $26 billion in the stimulus alone on climate issues. >> and $7.5 billion on foreign climate change issues. there's a lot of pollution in the world. that is terrible. china consumes more coal than all the other countries combined. i think if utilities are continuing to do methane and carbon capture that's a great thing. stop pollution in the world. >> sabrina, go ahead. >> i don't think the american people think this is a serious issue anymore. the pew research cter finds people always think of global warming or climate change is the bottom of their priorities. thi

that we insist hubris and legitimate interests. would be taken care of back in two thousand and eight barack obama the us president promised to shut down the detention center multiple times he said that he wasn't able to fulfill his promise because of the congress which. a number of occasions has vast laws to make it harder and harder for the u.s. administration to either transfer. detainees to other countries or to bring them back to the u.s. and try them on u.s. soil which has left the u.s. administration really in political limbo because this detention center has has seen the image and reputation of the u.s. . despite official reports the hunger strike at guantanamo bay stopped in december a human rights advocates claim the number of inmates still protesting stands at thirty three and military authorities are refusing to release any new data now according to authorities the release of information on hunger strike is quote the tracks from of the more important issues like the welfare of detainees and the safety of troops or that

concept that we would somehow change the state, we've all concluded that there was a fair bit of hubrisat. when president obama came out his view was that lightfoot print strategy could keep fighting back against al qaeda and affiliates. i think what we're seeing now is that the lightfoot print which is basically the use of special forces, of drones, of cyber, these weapons that don't involve americans to go in on the ground very much or stay very long that's running out of gas. >> schieffer: david, what happens now? what can we do, what should we do? >> well, someone, some group of people is going to have to take on al qaeda in the euphrates valley in syria and iraq both. and dangers that we've had coalesceness of al qaeda forces that's being done now by the malaki of baghdad. in syria it's been done to the extent at all by the the government and president, elements of the opposition we've been trying to back. while i understand what david's point about the big themes of american decline, as i look at the story, i see little mistakes, it wasn't inevitable or essential people to stop pa

hubris -- -- does that describe you? >> in some ways it does. , i haveagues intensity with great to try and hide my anxiety. i thought it was shameful or admitting it would compromise my professional standing. one of the things i wrestled with, talking in the book, i wanted to explore the nature of anxiety and look at all of the possible causes that might have led to my own. trying on different theories. i'm in fact coming out as anxious after having hidden it for many years. of many peoplere who suffer from certain kinds of any disorders. there is a gap between the outwardly projected and often to the individual suffer, a false , and the inward feeling of terror, anxiety, dread, incompetence. one of the characteristics in the book talks about how a symptom, a cause of anxiety, for those of us who suffer with it, the act of trying to conceal your anxiety from your friends, family, colleagues, actually is a symptom. it is a cause. this cathartic for you? >> we will see. it is interesting. i always thought i was good at co

continue to say this because obama said it is it hubris i mean or is it because we are just saying this i mean who is leading here i mean this is one of the very interesting thing i mean the qatari survey leading this the saudis leading this because the united states is talking out of both sides of its mouth at the same time that's not good for the at. average person living in syria at this moment peter i have to say the let's let's organize of you know the has orchestrated these attacks on innocent civilians is responsible for the murder for the killing of turns of thousands of innocent syrians and we're not talking about mother the reason you know that yes i was a little get. hit here if you get in if you bring up the word you know maybe you can hurt them on a note for you know when you bring up the word moral when you break the word moral the united states is is helping these rebel groups some of them extremely extreme again. now well not with numbers or something i mean you can you depending on when you know who you want to listen to but there's a lot of jihad is there right now wor

that we insist there of hubris and legitimate. quickly taken care of back in two thousand and eight barack obama the us president promised to shut down the detention center multiple times he said that he wasn't able to fulfill his promise because of the congress which. a number of occasions has vast laws to make it harder and harder for the u.s. administration to either transfer. detainees to other countries or to bring them back to the u.s. and try them on u.s. soil which has left the u.s. administration really in political limbo because this detention center has has seen the image and reputation of the u.s. . i'm gonna stand has accused the u.s. forces of killing eight civilians seven of them children during an. raid on a house it's one of the many incidents to have tested relations between the nations as washington increasingly loses the argument as to why kabul should sign a security deal to screw shell for america as it would see a portion of its troops stay in the country pons the main was told later this year foreign policy

interested in that and not willing to pull the trigger because they do not want to spend the cash or the hubris of the company does not allow them to, we do not know. may be a little trigger shy. we were talking all last week about the consumer electronics show. samsung announced to the connected home. companies are in watches and glasses and smart tvs. apple is doing none of that. is apple a little bit behind, jon? everythinguld see apple is working on, we might go, oh, i get it. of course apple does not want to tell us, so we cannot answer that question well. you also wonder if apple were to do a deal like this, it would raise questions about whether faddell tony fidel -- back into the company, whether that would create all these new storylines. --y had a pretty good there was a focus on this company from google's capital. they had a focus on where this economy was going. --there was a thermostat that may have gotten them excited and in turn google got excited and said, hey, $3 billion-plus, that is good with us. faddellerviewed tony three months ago and he gave zero indication he was interes

you think there's an arrogance and hubris you know it's the problem is that we've never had a war that came to this home here burke's peerage any idea if. it was you know i got it or destroy it the problem with the victor in a war is that he believes he's right believes he has the right to use violence because he's doing the right. things so that that's what happened we had we were given a gift in world war two yeah we fought it but the soviet union basically wiped out the german war machine they took the brunt of the cash twenty five million russians did on us at three hundred some thousand four hundred thousand casualties nothing could burn so we had this tremendous advantage after world war two we did and roseville so if he had lived another three months i think would've kept that alliance we had with the with the with the soviets alive because he did not want to become the british empire he saw the problems of the version he did not believe in colonialism colonialism was to be eradicated and and it was not because truman and i have to be took roosevelt's position took a pro british

i think there was some hubris on the administration's part that they could get through this, that they were smart enough, they could do it in-house. there's a tremendous number of people they had in the campaign that are technical wizards who they should have used, they didn't to that. now they're bringing in business, corporate experts on technology, a lot of young people are now trying to get this fixed. but the damage has been done to the credibility of the program now, and it's going to take a while to get this fixed and to get it working. they're saying that by the end of the month the end p rollment web site will be working for most people. we'll see. but it's, what it is, the big problem with it is that it undermines the cornerstone of president obama's approach to the government which is that the government can be relied on to be competent and get things done. we don't want to, i don't think, take this too far, but it's certainly been a black eye for the government so far in trying to take this on. and, you know, you wonder, it was the signature initiative of president obama. s

there is in that a kind of hubris.i think lincoln is a very good example -- take his second inaugural address. there is a humility before god. our task, he says, is not to invoke god on our side but to make sure that we are on the side of the divine. lincoln referred to himself as a humble instrument in the hands of the almighty. you might say that is kind of a little bit of a humble brag, a claim that wouldn't seem to be merited. i think his actions bore it out. he wasn't trying to say to the nation, i know the will of god and i am going to impose it on you. anytime a politician does that, run. >> you write in that chapter, as lincoln made clear -- he was aware of the power of arrogance. when do you determine when somebody is magnanimous, when they are humble, when they are arrogant? >> it is hard. don't pretend to know the heart of these men and women that i write about. i think what lincoln does there -- as a young man, he gives a speech in springfield, illinois and he is reflecting on ambition. it is a kind of self

joining me now is the co-author of the book "hubris" and e.j., a columnist for "the washington post." e.j., the coverage of the book so far to me, i'm a bit sir prized at. robert gates, former defense secretary offers harsh critique of obama's leadership. i don't see the harsh critique here. everything i'm seeing in here is gates talking about things that happened in the administration that he acknowledges that actually perfectly normal things that happen in all administrations. >> first of all, i think before we lose track of it, it's worth noting how anti-war this former defense secretary is. >> yes, yes. >> one of the things that struck me reading the excerpt in "the wall street journal," and he talked about this some as defense secretary, is how wary he was, both of humanitarian intervention and, if you will, of neo conservative style intervention. and he really talked a lot about the cost of war, about what happened to troops, about people never coming back the same. i thought that was very powerful. in terms of his account of, and in the w

written a book on north island which had done relatively well and i think i was infected with this hubris of you thinking this was going to be a success but when i got the statement in 1977 it showed the book had sold precisely 12 copies. it was not a commercial success. a few years ago i had a letter from william in the north shore who you are familiar with who wrote a cheery letters saying he had bought a copy recently bringing my total sales up to 13. not exactly a moneymaker. then i resumed, getting back into journalism, realizing a way to earn a living and i went off to various places, and the in india for three years and back in london briefly and came to new york for a little while but for 13 years to china and in 1997, when hong kong reverted to chinese rule i had one of those 4 in the road moments where was i going to live in london and establish myself there where i was born or go to new york and i decided it wasn't a flip of the co coin, i thought i would have more success in america so i went to new york and realized i was now paying taxes in america and using the old mantra o

republicans and democrats in washington, over the last 40 years, i think, is an extraordinary act of hubris and then to flee, to the protection of that notorious protector of human rights and privacy and civil liberties, vladimir putin, i think, speaks volumes. if high is truly highly motivated and idealistic as he says, then he should come home and face the music much as earlier whistleblowers did. >> last question: the late senator pat monahan, among other things, used to rail against tell-all books by insiders and said it was a disservice to the free exchange of ideas and it made people hold bang because they thought they might be quoted somewhere in the book and said it was a disservice to history. >> well, i think that the books to settle scores, kiss-and-tell books, i have the same view as senator monahan. i don't think this book is either of those. i criticize myself as much if not more in the book than i do anybody else. i think i'm fair in my treatment of both presidents. i think over all the book is very positive about both presidents. and frankly there are things in the book that

i think they gave him a disservice in an effort to protect her and a sense of hubris. it didn't work out that way. >> one of the contacts that a president inevitably has outside of his elbow as leaders of other foreign countries. she went to korea said it could check and balance? >> it's a very good question. presidents tend as everybody does to have more of a relationship for some people than others. sometimes it can be surprising with the president's bond with. if you look at president reagan and president bush the father in president clinton, somehow it was one world leader they would all call during the crisis and just because this person may didn't feel good that things would work out. that was brian mulroney of canada. you would've never imagined that. he was a backslapping, fun-loving guy. for some reason, he just got along well with these american presidents. he was just giving him moral support. that's what it is. i'm not take policy advice very often. they get support for the bond with him and get reinforced. a couple quick samples of that as there is no clos
