i really decided to go back into business and stay there for a while. went to were for the department of transportation and then got the notion to go after. i put myself up for mayor. let's put it this way, deputy mayor to mayor eight. he and i were really close. we consumed a lot of alcohol together. amanda got up and died after two weeks of election and the mayor of the city and the council elect me to serve as mayor and i served as mayor for the next two years and after that it really got exciting because i ran for the county council's position in which i had come in e-mail, like 150,000 people in the district. you had a lot more responsibility and it was full time. i served as the chair for three consecutive years it had never been done. and that was part of sand. democrats and republicans had to appoint you. so i did that for the last three years and the president of the state association of county officials, but i had been on board for 10 years. so it was good and i thoroughly enjoyed the work that we did. the part that i like is they didn't beat m

i decided to relocate after selling my bookshop which also sells new books and in the past ten or 15 years the sales of new books have really suffered with the advent of e-books and everything going digital, but what i found is the interest and rare books has increased. in my shop right now there are about a thousand books. in my inventory there are about 5000 books. i rotate books i specialized in four different areas. i specialize in bibles from the past 500 years, i specialize in early mormon

after several fights, i decided to get into politics very seriously. after the urban league poured me off of a $25 a week position on city council and i couldn't live off of that, i stayed with the urban league until i left and began to go after my life's work and that has been politics so i became -- working until about -- 81, really decided to go back and stay there, in the 80s, went to work for the department of transportation, then got that notion to go after, put it up there and let's put it this way, deputy mayor to mayor hyde, he and i were co-studies, we consumed a lot of alcohol. the oil of politics and got up and died after two weeks, in the city, and elected me. to serve as the mayor and i serve this mayor for two years and after that, i ran for county counsel position in which i had 150,000 people in the district. we had a lot more responsibility. i served as the chair of county counsel for three consecutive years, never been done. members of that counsel, that was partisan. i did that for the last three years, what the president of the stat

did to show those examples of the women writing to the county officials and state officials but i decided to zoom in on the northern family that was getting exhausted and that was from minnesota and he is very, very dedicated to the war and motivated. they still hadn't come home and you promised me you wanted, what do you mean you reenlisted. so i was able to leave in the latest arguments and then use the stories to do that so it is not just this discussion as much as it is people i'm hoping are just kind of absorbing this. she and her husband owned the stage in a. when the civil war begins, her brother goes off to the war but it's not for another years until the spring of 1862 that her husband is a member of young children at home including a newborn and they often just recently lost a child who just walked into the river and drowned. and so, i really want to talk about her story. .. >> it talk about finding a deadt with the pitch of his child. she we get a letter from him in the late fall of 1862. telling her that i'm so sorry, don't even know how to write this. but, your brother has be

the fact of the matter as was reported in the federalist and elsewhere after the afghan speech and i decided it's time to resign and support the president from the outside more effectively. i told general kelly, i requested a meeting with him. i informed him both over the phone and via e-mail on friday that as of that day i am

when i decided i would accept this invitation and cut to mississippi to be on the book festival i decidedlso that i would cause a few days early which i did, and spend some time in the surrounding counties and i would give away because now it is cheap. [laughter] to librarians in the public schools and high schools and middle schools, copies of the book. rather do something called without a personal hand to hand by sending them a copy in the of mail or e-mail i was sure that would not be effective. so today's this week with me and my intern who is from barcelona and has been working with me over the last 10 weeks, of the went to read -- meridian and met with librarians and school children. and the things that will always impressed me most about this back -- book festival i was very, very pleased but the thing that will stick in my mind is that i asked the students -- the students is the ap history class, which did you think the civil war was about states rights? not a single kid raised their hand that's right it is about slavery and they all nodded. with the attempt to keep slavery in the

i was going to get married nobody was going to force me to get it so i decided that i was going to run away from one city to the next. so why did was i saves money up stole some money from a brother who was a taxi driver in them days going back twenty years ago. same thousand pound fifty in english pounds took that on a coach on one city to the next and never went back i was coming shocked. and never met him in my life so although he was a cousin didn't mean him in my life at all so scared in front of all didn't want to go through with it because i'm great issue as far as i was concerned i was british i was born here i was raised here so i should do what the british values are one of the walls i didn't want to get moaned and disappointed because i would have thought there would have been more awareness on the subject now some of it is pointed out you know after twenty what used to still happen is should it happen we should embrace british values because we're pretty we should force our children to to get married so he's disappointed we need to do more as a society more to conquer and s

and i decided to have it. >> i remember it. >> stephen: then shortly after that i went to my supervisingthank you for that. >> you're welcome. >> stephen: one of the most humiliating nights of my entire life. ( laughter ) you and i actually did a sketch show together briefly. >> yes, we did. >> stephen: which i had totally forgotten about. >> random play. >> stephen: but you remembered it, and not only that, but did you pay money for these? >> no, i had that. this is interesting. i had these video cassettes, which i hadn't watched since we made the show, i don't own a vcr any more. >> stephen: right. this is from '97, something like that, this is 20 years old and he actually brought this in tonight and this-- >> i haven't seen it. >> stephen: my producers picked a clip of something you and i are doing together on this. >> collaboration. >> stephen: right, collaboration and let's just see what it was. ( laughter ) ♪ ♪ what i am trying to do is find the message behind the meaning. what is this? >> a pen. >> perhaps. >> stephen: you want to know what i see? an instrument of change. a shell,

so i decided it was time to check out karachi's music scene. ally, being a musician here has been hard. musicians and gigs have often been targeted by religious extremists. but i had heard that things were getting better and some great tunes and artists were coming out as a consequence. so on an insanely hot day injuly i find out more. 0n the breakfast show. official, on facebook, who is ultimately the control freak in your car? what are the radio rules? we have got simon who says, in my car i am the one in charge as i am the only one who sits in front. what is it like being a musician here? is it hard? it is but it has become a lot better to the point that we have actually come out and started doing more outdoor events. we have food festivals, we have music festivals. we have lots of concerts in the last year. people are not afraid any more to come out and go to a concert. what is the driving force? is that these kind of young musicians who arejust like, i don't care, i'm going to be a musician? yes. there was a music festival that took place i

i had my hand in the fight and i decided to just get it fixed about the one problem for the last ten years never got it fixed i always said look i'll get it fixed later i'll get a fix later i always used to go into training camp and put the splints on my hand and spend extra time on you know when you do the bandages and the taping but i don't know if i said look i'm just going to man fix because the last thing you want to do is in a fight before walking into the ring thinking about your hand the pain didn't hurt when you hit someone it's always hurt me it always hurt me i'll do i remember on my last fight i was in the mitts just to warm up so while i'm on the mitts warming up i can feel a shop pain right through my hand and that's when i decided after the fight i'm going to get a fix for you grow up i grew up in a place called bolton it's in great mind just the. beginning but juhi your. parents from. you go to pakistan by i go there quite a lot two three times a year and you know with pakistan the only sport to follow now is obvious cricket been the number one sport for boxing because

i decided i needed to get out of town.s two years older than me who wanted to be marines. when they graduated high school they joined the marine corps in paris islands, that is awesome. the uniforms are incredible. when i decided to leave town i want to join the marine corps. it is better to be lucky than to be good, the recruiter was not in the office. the navy guy was. i looked over there and the reason i went into the navy was my two marine friends told me i something didn't know, and many of you may not know, the marine corps is part of the department of the navy. just the men's department. i went in there to ask him where are the marines? if anyone will know where he is this guy will, why do you want the marines? i want to be a sniper and the best snipers in the world are in the marines, look no further, we have snipers right here in the navy. you need to be a seal first, no big deal. he glossed over that. i am a 19-year-old kid from montana who didn't know how to swim. not a lot of swimming going on, called at that h

. >> i think one of the things for me is i decide what i give my attention to and i decided that i won'tow him to give him my attention. so just because he does something that's ridiculous, does not require my attention. and so some of the things i just take a look at and i be like -- i mean, just -- it's just ridiculous. but we just keep moving forward, and i think the focus, we always try to stay focused on what we're doing and whenever something happens such as, you know, something ridiculous that he's doing, it kind of distracts you from what you're doing if you take time out of it and address it. so we just don't address it. we let whoever wants to address it, i mean, of course they call the foundation because they want comments. they want to keep the fire fueled but we don't allow it. >> yeah. i mean, i just bow down. i bow down. every time it happens, seems like another i told you so moment. if you didn't believe this was the guy we tried the tell you about in the courtroom time after time after time this is who he is. >> this is it. >> i digress on that. i wanted to ask. now i se

i decided to start living an artist's life which means you create something every day. every day. ething. while you're lounging around here on this big soft chair, laughing and talking, i am -- i'm making and writing or painting or i'm building something in indiana by myself isolated and what that does, it opens your brain up. i your brain becomes open to suggestions a lot more rapidly than it's like oh, i got to write which is what i did as a kid. oh, i got to write. you just -- it's like starting from scratch. i'm never starting from scratch. i'm always in it. i'm always in it. there is always like oh, that will make a great painting. that will make that song would be -- those words are great. i'm going to steal those words. because you know if it's out there, it's mine. >> yeah. it's mine. if i see somebody do something in a movie, it's mine. >> you were talking about sidney poitier a moment ago. tell that story. >> there's a part where the drummer is going -- and in "raising in the sun," sidney poitier goes, man, i'm digin' them drums! and in the middle of my show what did i do

so i decided because it was so hard for me that i was going to write a book. i was introverted and i was just going to write a book and take this man's advice until the people my story. 10 years later i finally did it and it really is a cautionary tale for young people who might be searching for something. and in 2010 i cofounded an organization called life after hate with the purpose of helping people go through that transition where they are scared to leave these movements because of the identity, because of the community and because of the purpose. they may not have something they have is another special purpose in their lives and we help them transition out of that and disengage from hateful ideologies and hates and hate groups not by battling ideologically with them, not by arguing with them or debating with them because that just low raises people further. in our political climate what we do is we listen and we listen for what i call potholes. before i talk about that i want to talk a little bit about what the state of the movement is today. when we thin

who stays in power i can decide who i appoint to the high court and i could also decide what goes on in congress that is not a democracy if you want to call this professor's know which i he surprised we want to go to the mock received because it is not a democracy and you cannot interpret that in those articles of the constitution it is clear that when you go to a constitutional plebiscite or election you have to have the majority of the people calling for it you cannot just unilaterally say well i don't like it i want to write a new month a mother a that i want is not what i'm going to get i am going to. make it better if you could just give francisco a chance to respond to the points he made that. i hope interrupted again. the basic position is it can be called. and there is no reason for for anybody not to call it and the reason why matilda was called for these constitution as constituent assembly is in order to empower the population and to get a mandate so that through that mandate they can actually begin never just the position of the government has been strengthened regarding

very serious problems because of why i decided to leave well eventually you came by you founded the democratic movement united ga. what motivated you to come back only was only war because before war i had a very strong decision made for myself at least a few years i will not. i will continue to be. a political life for georgia and i will try and just i wanted to see what he's going to leave from this side to understand the situation maybe more just. from the side but what i had to place when happened what happened in two thousand and eight and the specially when i saw the reaction of course celebrating so-called week. when i saw absolutely and i do put the reaction from the side of the political forces unfortunately from the side of a big part of society and the students that i have no right. side i have obligation in front of my people and in front of the event in front of these people who don't understand they sent blaming to me as a traitor i have an obligation in front of future generations to do something to change the situation and to survive as the during the last elections you didn't

but for that one moment, i decided to just, who are these people? i wrote the name in the search bar. and it must've been some kind of algorithm because all these other sites came up and it was very subtle, they didn't seem to have like, we hate jews. it wasn't like that but it was just something about it that wasn't on the phrase, it wasn't quite kosher. my question to you is what kind of, because you mentioned how subtle this movement is. what are some words that even somebody, an experienced person like myself can look out for? >> you're talking my language. yes, first of all i want to touch on your topic of algorithms. i think that's very important. what happens when you go online whether it's social media or dueling things, there are algorithms that act as a recommendation.just like when you go to amazon and you buy pampers diapers that will say oh, you should buy huggies. >> news is the same way. when you start reading these fake news stories, these propaganda stories, it will keep recommending them to you because it thinks that's what you want

then i decided to come to hartford because they had a lot of problems. e day i apply for an apartment i got it, including my he and hot water. pay $590 a month including heat and hot water. most of the towns in connecticut do not include heat and hot water. they also have a waiting list. you go to the housing authority, all the apartments are on a waiting list. it was very hard for me. for one year i was homeless living in my car after i retired. then i decided to come here. i've been here for 14 years but is not easy when you are retired and you can't find anything because a waiting list or you can't afford it. granddaughters. they have a beautiful apartment. it is clean. not everybody is dirty. they have a beautiful apartment, but i cannot get one. i could document they have. i still can't get it because of the waiting list. host: we have another tweet. people"e live the "lazy who can't find a formal housing include teachers, police officers, etc." our last call comes from alfred from bronx, new york. caller: good morning, sir. thank you for taking my c

but for that one moment, i decided to just -- who are these people? so i wrote the name in the search box, and it must have been some kind of algorithm because all these other sites came up and they were very subtle. they didn't seem to have, like, we hate you jews. there was something about it that wasn't -- pardon the phrase -- wasn't quite kosher. my question to you is, what kind of -- because you mentioned how subtle this movement is. what are some words that even somebody -- an experienced facebook person like myself should look out for? >> now we're talking my language. yes. so first of all issue want to touch on your topic of allege go richmond -- al go ash $go rhythms 'when you're googling this, algorithms that act as a recommendation just like when you go to amazon and you buy pampers diapers its would say you should buy hugies. news is the same way. when you start reading these fake news stories, these propaganda stories, it will keep recommending them to you because it thinks that's what you want. the danger in that is you go down into a sil

i decided to relocate after selling my bookshop which also sells new books and in the past ten or 15 years the sales of new books have really suffered with the advent of e-books and everything going digital, but what i found is the interest and rare books has increased. in my shop right now there are about a thousand books. in my inventory there are about 5000 books. i rotate books i specialized in four different areas. i specialize in bibles from the past 500 years, i specialize in early mormon books, classical literature and early american history. i enjoy collecting bibles that belong to historical figures. i also like to share brigham young's copy of the book of mormon. it is housed in a nice protective clamshell. according to family tradition, this is a copy of the book of mormon that was on his nightstand when he died in 1877. you can see his signature on the title page. i enjoy early american history. this is one of the most important books printed in america. it's thomas paine's common sens sense. it was robert bell on third street in philadelphia. if you go there today you w

when i did that, i decided if you're going to do a strategy, go big. i asked the president whether i could announce those 13 risk areas from the white house briefing room. never been done before by cabinet secretary. unlike dva went out and gave her 13 risk areas. did any of you see that, by the way? a few of you did. so what i would say to you is innovators, what we need to be doing is innovating in solving the problems of our organization. i can't really remember the 13 areas on my head -- [laughter] but let me just read them to you and then come around to that. so they were access to care that surprising with our wait time issues, taking our providers, community care in general, how we send people into the community. the quality of care in va. disability claims and appeals, information technology problems, capital assets, construction and come accountability, staffing, bureaucracy, fraud waste and abuse in veteran suicides. so, what you have been venus do at va is actually picking through these areas and beginning to address them. the information tec

that is inconvenient, but i decided to make that trade-off. i don't need every where about recorded and monetized. it is a pain, but i am getting less of a footprint. i'm not getting the big bubble created around me. i block what i can. that means there are websites that i sometimes can't go to. i can't go to fox news anonymously. so i just don't go to fox news. i go to the other news sites that allow me to browse anonymously. i am missing that a little bit, but i think i'm getting more than i am losing in the bargain. host: do you use wi-fi? jeff: i am using wi-fi, but i use my own vpn. i am not trusting the hotels -- the hotel's wi-fi. to me, it is an on-ramp. i use my own network to get to trusted systems. with this net neutrality d later -- deregulation coming up, a lot isp's, whether they do or don't, legally they are in a much better position if they want to watch your traffic, see what you are doing and inject advertising into webpages you go to, or watch the websites you go to, and sell that. you are browsing your favorite sports team a

i did not let that stop me and i decided that up i could not start my career with education, i would start my career somewhere else. event volunteering, i met my future employer. thank god i met this wonderful gentleman. he was it -- he was a -- he was very supportive of the immigrant employee -- of the immigrant community. said even if we have to fight them on getting everything set up, we will do this and we will get you working. he took it a step further and said we are going to make sure that we offer the same opportunities to other daca recipients. the students who have worked so hard and they finally get this chance to get employment and a chance to better themselves. we will open these doors for them. i want to thank everybody in the community who has done that. you have given us the opportunity and that is what we needed. casa was an operative -- daca was an opportunity. daca opened all these doors. we could reach for education, we could get employment and start a career and contribute to our community, which is the biggest thing that all of us really want. we want to show th

i have to decide to leave my country for political reasons, because they don't have evidence against me. i was defending my right. the right of the venezuelan people. because of that, they issued an order of arrest against me. so, i left my country, i left my country. political country for reasons in the middle of the 21st century -- this is not the venezuela we deserve. we need to bring democracy back to venezuela and i will fight for the rest of my life to have democracy in our country. when i decided to leave my , we believe what is happening in our country and we are looking for help. i've beworld doing what i'm doit now. if i were not here, i would have been in jail. yeah. i understood that we have to play like a team. a soccer team. one has to be a goalkeeper, other carryforwards, the others have to recover the ball. for the last three months, we have been on the streets fighting for democracy. we have been asking for three things. one, general election in venezuela. fair and transparent election in venezuela, including presidential elections. a new government in venezuela. two,

so i decided i would try to do three things. i would try to figure out what does america have to do to survive. what does -- how would you explain it to the american people so they would let you do it, and how would you implement it if they gave you permission. because you take an idea, you explain it so people say yes, you still have to implement it. or it's just an idea. so i spent now since 1958 on a very narrow track, spent most of my life trying to understand those three things. and so i want to talk to you about that for a couple minutes because i'm troubled by the lack of historical depth in our elected officials. it may be partly because we have too many lawyers. but i think it's very important to think about the history of how things operate. i was very fortunate, i ran for congress in '74 during watergate and i lost, got 48.5%. i came back and ran for congress in georgia with jimmy carter the head of the democratic ticket and lost in '76. i got 48.3%. i came back and ran a third time halfway through carter's term and f
