two things, one, i read that review, somebody said you got to read this thing in the huffington post, and i read it, and as bob knows, i was angry, went to the editor, saying we can't let this lie. they review the book, read it first. this guy did not do. >> he admitted in the review, he did not read the book. read the blushes. >> said, they were not balanced enough, they called the fight a massacre, write about the sand creek massacre. i could open to the chapter now. it's in the book. when you talk about the expertise of the try ball repositories would have, what is the expertise that they would offer us? they don't have records dating back to 1850. you know, they don't have these records. they have oral traditions that we refer to, but, again, it's not like i could go to a tribal office. i went to the tribal office on the pine ridge resignation in the ogallala, they don't have a loy brair repository saying here's our view and position of what happened at that time. our eyewitness accounts because there are none. >> i think he mentioned several historians. >> uh-huh. >> and there ar

ryan grim, "huffington post" washington bureau chief. thanks for your time tonight. >> thank you. >>> lots to come tonight including new jersey governor chris christie basically announcing he has cleared himself. that was good for him. but also a lot more to come out of texas, galveston bay today, and plenty more. stay with us. hey kevin...still eating chalk for hearburn? yea. try alka seltzer fruit chews. they work fast on heart burn and taste awesome. these are good. told ya! i'm feeling better already. alka-seltzer fruit chews. enjoy the relief! they're about 10 times softer and may have surface pores where bacteria can multiply. polident kills 99.99% of odor causing bacteria and helps dissolve stains. that's why i recommend polident.

there's big ones like the ones you 2345i78d, buzzfeed and huffington post, and then aren't there 400 smaller online newspapers -- >> lots of little ones. that's one of the most fascinating things going on in journalism right now, is these little -- you know, like homicide watch is a bigger example. but you have little organizations, two, three, four people trying to cover some narrow area. >> they're the names we don't know unless we happen to live in the communities they serve. but these are, what, people that are just covering small niche topics? >> sometimes niche topics. sometimes small communities. some of them -- an awful lot of them are devoted to investigative reporting. but obviously, there's a limited amount of investigative reporting you can do if you only have two or three or four people. but yeah, i think there are a lot of people who are trying to figure this out. and that's a beginning. that's where innovation comes from. >> where are these coming from? who's paying for these? because one of the points in the report is there's new funding coming in for journalism. >> t

on huffingtons post are consistently required reading for me and my staff. give us some sense of how you are reading this moment that we are in and whether or not the momentum of this moment can lead to a movement on the issue of poverty and income inequality. >> i think it has. we still have 15% of americans who are in poverty. of fivee than one out of our nation's children, are in poverty. to those people who say that means the war on poverty didn't work, if we did not have the social programs we do have right now, the safety net, we would have 30% of our people in poverty. it has worked to that extent. to eliminatet try poverty with safety nets. we have got to create jobs. we have got to expand middle-class opportunities. we have got to restore upward mobility in this country. education, investing in early childhood education, affordable college education. we are the only rich nation in the world that has less lower per-pupil expenditures in core areas of this country than we have in wealthy school districts. tavis: i want to close our conversation by get

. >> i hope everyone reads your article on the huffington post. >> thanks. >> we've been talking russia's annex indicatioannexation of cr. the u.s. and rush do not trade economically speaking, but there is a place where they do intersect and that's oil. russia is the third biggest producer in the world after saudi arabia and the united states. and russia's main oil cop which run by the company is ran with exxonmobil. exxon touches new many ways. you may buy gas from an exxonmobil station, and even if you don't there is a good chance that the gas you do buy comes from exxonmobil. the relationship between america's second biggest company and the kremlin's own oil company is to say the least cosy. so are american oil titans attempting to influence american action or inaction in russia? that's something that my team has been looking into. we'll talk more about this tomorrow. i'll ali velshi. thanks for joining us. >> and you're in "the stream." what do you do when the dollar isn't enough? you create your own. how local communities are taking mounters into their own hands. lisa fletcher is out

michael mcauliffe, senior congressional correspondent for "the huffington post" and was at today's hearing. give us a context of what was going on in that hearing room, and did anybody know that this was coming before dianne feinstein took to the floor? >> well, there are some people who knew it was coming, but most of them didn't. remember, this is the senate floor, so this is even sort of a higher platform than a committee hearing, but she came out there after several days of this back and forth that you've recapped there, and she made this really remarkable speech, and i don't really think that you can underestimate quite how important this is because she has been a very strong defender of the nsa and the intelligence-gathering activities of the administration ever since the edward snowden revelations broke. now, this is an older case. it involves the torture of suspects shortly after the 9/11 attacks from 2002 to 2006, so this dates back to the previous administration, but, still, for her to come out and declare almost war on the intelligence agencies is really quite remarkable. >> and

. >> huffington post. interviews doing with people from poland, switzerland. it is great.vis: give me some sense about how you go about choosing the material. how do you figure out what has a storyline to it that can be translatable in your style? >> we have a list of school literature for high school students and college students. we go through book by book. we try to incorporate with holidays like valentine's day. we will do a book that talks about love. romeo and juliet. sometimes, with movies that are coming out. tavis: how often are you shooting new episodes? >> we should once a month. we should five episodes in one day. tavis: what has been the viralay of the wild success of this for you? what do you make of this? >> i am a standup. i have been doing comedy for 12 years. comedy, doing standup, it is a rough road. it is a long dedication and sacrifice. this has helped me get out more, put my face on the internet. it has given me more bookings. tavis: what do you make of the opportunity you now have to do comedy that is smart comedy? i don't think that smart comedy has
