about he was an artist in that way, and so when i read the book, i did not -- i got the script and i read the book first. i think it's like 101 pagessening very short book. but it was so poignant and so heavy and overwhelming, and not just because it relates to so much to today but because -- i think it was because it was about family and so much of who we are in our personalities and how we carry ourselves in the world and just our characteristics. they start from home. so even if you have one or don't, you're affected by it. so for me that was just everything. >> first encounter with sometime in middle cool issue think go tell it on the mountain, and then the fire next time. my favorite would be no name in the streets, and i love no name in the street because it's after the period when people started saying that baldwin was in decline. and in fact, what he is dealing with is the devastation and the aftermath of all the deaths, of malcolm and king and lower rain, devastated him. all these people and the question of whether this country is redeemable so that in an earlier stage, there

when i read the book, i got the script and i read the book first. but it was so poignant and heavy and overwhelming not just because it relates to today, but i think it was because it was about family and how we carry ourselves in the world and the characteristics they start from home even if you have one or you don't you are affected by it. . >> the first encounters sometime in middle school. my favorite would be no name in the street that's when they said that baldwin was in decline and you feel that devastation of the aftermath. which devastated all these people and really the question if this country is redeemable to have that sense of hope like it touches a hopelessness of possibility. is incredibly courageous that resonates so much right now. maybe we cannot make this work? and to see what you are contending with. but the thing about that book that has been so profound for me is that the reference point in memphis and the question if beale street could talk like playing the blues is not the same thing as having the blues. so the blues is an inc

. >> i read a lot of religious books we had books in the house we didn't really read them i read a lot of 18th century about the mormon prophets so that was a language i picked up pretty quickly. . >> so you wrote in this archaic's dial? . >> that is what i had been reading so my professors were very bewildered why i wrote like 19th century. [laughter] it took a while to get that voice out. >>host: isn't that amazing that writing voice is so different than the talking voice? that i'm assuming you did not speak that way that that is the part? . >> i think a lot of people have that with writing they have a certain self-consciousness and sometimes if we feel self-conscious we become more formal and i have noticed this with a lot of writing including my own. they will use a word like establishment instead of building better word you would never use because they sound more intellectual. >>host: how long did it take yo you? . >> i wrote the whole book first draft in about a year. and it was terrible. . >> are you being hard on yourself? [laughter] . >> it was really bad. i took a writing cou

i was so happy to read the whole book i was nervous to do that. that was kind of a phenomenal day yesterday. >> host: why were you nervous to read the whole book? >> guest: i haven't read the whole book to an audience at large before. there were adults and little kids. it had more word and i didn't know if people would hang with me. i was basically depending on the way i read it. >> host: can little kids stick with you when you are reading? >> guest: if they are able to see the picture, they can. usually when they are very young i will read pecan pie baby. the little kids that were there yesterday.in >> host: do you enjoy speaking to crowds or would you prefer to be at home in your writing room or in your stupid writing? >> guest: i need the crowd to remember why i'm doing the work i'm doing and i love engaging with them especially those who want to be writers and are just eareally avid readers and i definitely need me time to and i take it very seriously. >> host: what is your process, when did you start, how long did we think about and work on it

i read -- i listened to it. when i walk i do the audio books so i'm really glad i do the audio books, the amos decker, the last mile which was fascinating, i just -- i fell in love with whole series and i will read about what happened to him. >> guest: memory man, i was in the mood to do a brand-new series and amos decker will fit the bill for a lot of reasons. the last mile, the second one where you meet all the other cast, that was a powerful book for me. sort of the injustice of death penalty and prison system and all that. it gave decker and guy on his level. and i still get a lot of emails on both guys, when is melvin going to come back. >> host: jacqueline in washington, d.c. >> caller: hello, david. i'm jacqueline. >> guest: how are you doing? >> caller: i'm great, so proud, just so happy with what you've been doing over the past several years. >> guest: thank you. >> caller: i have a question that we have been pondering here in my family regarding amazon, hq2 headquarters, they are trying to figure out w

and i said, "let me read to you." ere's a move afoot to excise that part out of the screenplay, kind of make it part of this other character, alan grant." and i, you know, remember, if i think i did, i said to him, "mr. steven, i don't know. i think -- don't you like that? that could be a good character." da-da-da-da-da. i'm sure i didn't persuade him. but, anyway, it came around, so that i got back into the movie. >> and do you recognize this? >> what? i like this -- so sweet. >> do you recognize this inflatable picture of you -- or not pictures, like a statue. >> yes. it was a statue. >> it's a reclining you. >> yeah, it wasn't inflatable. people said afterwards -- and i knew nothing about that. the people sent me on the day that it appeared, "what?" this is -- you know, it took me by surprise. i think they were promoting their showing of the movie after 25 years. and -- but then, i must -- then i read the description of it. it's not -- wasn't a balloon, it was -- it's kind of big. [ both laugh ] >> it's huge. >> big

the more i read, the more i wrote.here were probably a dozen survivors account that i read by the men who somehow got through it. i don't how they got through it. it's such a fascinating small piece of world war ii that i was thoroughly captivated. also i wanted to throw a curveball at the reader. we start off with a murder in a small thin in mississippi and we have a trial and there's an execution coming. that's my bread and butter. all of a sudden that is part one. part two, the book takes a hard left turn and goes off to war for 150 pages. nobody saw that coming. i'm not sure i saw it coming. i didn't have to do it that way but it was fascinating. the more i wrote the more i thought this is probably important at some level because these guys are dying off every day, these veterans, and it was rewarding for me to be able to take a story that involves so many american producers in the way they were treated and the ones who survived as saying we do remember. but it was fascinating. but in the end, hampton, i'm all abou

and i am available that i can read out the note of violation if you wish. >> i think you should. >> okay. ask >> we did open the case and issued a notice of violation and the notice of violation reads and is in the conditions and plans associated with permit application 2016-0125 are misrepresented. that is an earlier permit. that is to the the permit under appeal. and 8 feet by 16 feet by two stories high stretching from north property line to existing exterior walls creating an infill at the back of the building. exterior stucco removed from entire front face of property and new windows installed at the front and rear of the property. submitted building permit with plans to address above noted violations and the department of city planning approval the requirerd and a geotech review and there was a penalty of that and two times on the value of the work of $65,000. i assume that penalty was paid. i don't have the information. it should have been added on to this permit. we then did get a permit and did revoke that permit because that was not the right permit either. i'm sorry to say. we

i refuse to apply to the 17th century. read through those documents, i learned that my modern feminist assumptions were incorrect. of askinge importance gendered questions. asking a gender differentiated question let me to an answer that downgraded the importance of gender in the 17th century. in the course of my research, a gradually dawned on me that in the 17th century, status was more important than gender. clerks carefully delineated status, clerks listed by name only. were gooden and women man or good wife. the highest status was master. status women were mrs., that his mistress. carefullywas following the women in the records, i knew that some of the , weredesignated with mrs. unmarried. i finally realized in the 17th hadry records mrs. nothing to do with marriage. that told me a lot about some of the cases i have encountered in which women dedicated as mistress clearly expected deference from men as well as women, which sometimes became issues in the conflicts. status helped to explain to of the more intriguing episodes

i have read most or all of your books. but to see and listen to you today i have to tell you i am so impressed with you and that you are beautiful and incredibly bright. not that i thought you were stupid before. you are a real thinker and well spoken. and i just quickly have to tell you before i ask you my question, one of my girlfriends and i each have a jodi picoult section on our bookshelf in each of our houses. >> i love that. >>caller: so two quick questions. we have been mispronouncing your name for the last 25 years. would it be too tacky if you were on one of your back of your book in parentheses how to pronounce your last name? [laughter] . >> 25 years we got on the phone together and we said we have been saying your name wrong. >> if you are even trying to say my name i am happy. >> the pronunciation so it sounds like pee-koh. >> yes. >>caller: why do you have your department? just move into the library. i have so many books. and jonathan kellerman. stephen martini. and a bunch of biographies. and memoirs because

i also like -- i think well-read black girl is an untapped gem. his is amazing, and beautiful, and still there are so many others we have yet to reach, and i think that online module of discussing literary arts and blackness and womanness is just beginning. so i love being able to tap into the hash tag and then find the other conversations happening but a the thing its want to talk about i can't find on twitter, i find instantly on the ig or instantly dish don't do tumblr or anything but like the hash tag is so much putting it install one space for me where i can find new things and new people to talk to about something that really is feeling to my soul. >> i love twitter, too. >> you were hating a little bit. >> i would also say having accountability partner. i've had several writing partners throughout the years that have looked at my work and when it was messy and knowing that i could trust. the and they could critique my work and felt space. that's essential as your growing and experimenting with a new craft or genre, someone who can really hel

this, i was reminded of the fa ct reading this, i was reminded of the fact that at this time of yeari love reading the announcement coming from top economies, leading investment banks, their thoughts on the year ahead. it is a really interesting read, isn't it? yes. right now, he rate makes a really interesting point they back in the 1980s, japan was seen as a country that would be the number one economy in the world. it is still very strong. the future might now belong to china. he is questioning that on a few grounds, one of which he questions the fundamental economic model of china, he opposes it and says things like artificial intelligence and robotics could see the us unleash a new era of growth, and i, which is starting at a lower base than china, has the potential to grow by 27% for the next ten, 20 yea rs. he compares it. he compares it but he also talks about the leadership as well. those pictures there, cartoons. talking about the man in charge as well, and what a significant element that is in terms of how these economies, these countries are led. yes, policy is so importa

i usually read what melissa tells me i should read. she'll throw some books in my bag on a long trip. i have an eclectic reading list. i read commonwealth. i love a good story that takes me outside of myself. i love everything zady smith has done. i accidentally re-read that. i read it maybe two years ago, and i was like different was on my shelf, and i thought, have i read this. i thought i must have esp or something base know what's going happen on the next page. that's what my life is like, would i forget what i read. but i realized by the third chapter that i read it already. >> did you put it down? >> oh, no. i love her storytelling. her characters. i just finished reading "exit west." which was very powerful. "the nightingale." any shout-outs? i love stories. i love to escape for a moment. i needed that escape over the past 10 years. i needed to get out of my own story and get into somebody else's story in a minute. >> were you able to do that? get lost in a book? >> i couldn't read in the white house in was too much going on. we

though not terribly well i've tried to read the tin drum twenty times but i was old enough you know sometimes you really you don't read books not because the book is defective because you're not old enough for it is the same within reach james i haven't read all of her james i just haven't been old enough you have to you have to somehow be at the maturity. to to succumb to what the book is to be important and so i haven't tried the ten drop in a while. the tin drum is going to cause this seminal novel from one nine hundred fifty nine later it was made into an academy award winning film covering the history of the twentieth century as told by the dwarfish character oscar mattress. and i knew going to so i'm embarrassed to say i knew him and his books but i did he read your books of course not going to ask you know he didn't read. what i read and i like what a laughable faith. and i don't hold it against him i mean some young american writer really doesn't know you know stealing away the audience from that might be his books i don't blame him i wouldn't read me. is richard ford really that self

i want to ask what brad is currently reading and his favorite novelist i knew he would be on so i readhis latest book the escape artist. but it was so good i didn't want to put it down. i loved it. i plan to read some more of his stuff but why are you reading right now as far as novels thank you so my favorite author, i just cannot lie about this. it's a guy named brad meltzer and i say you've done it again. and obviously why do you say stuff like that but i read everything every genre from young adult to thrillers it was agatha christie and judy bloom were the first grand dames i read in the john grisham. . >> what about murder at thet vickery? . >> the first mystery i have ever read. i remember picking up agatha christie murder at the vicarage. do not call in and tell me. i don't want to know. i do not want to know. i remember at ten years old and getting into that book and their was a dead body. i remember being shocked by that. in that moment i asked myself that one question for over 20 years now. who done it? it changed my life. this dead body and who done it. but when it comes to

loved to read aloud. i was one of those kids who would set up the stuffed animals and the barbies and read to them, and show them the pictures, and then go back. i loved the act of reading aloud. so when i had kids they just became like my real babies i could reach you. i read to them all the time, all the time. i know every word of every dr. seuss anything, still by heart, and as the girls up we continue to incorporate books as a form of family activity. so as they get older we started reading more complex books together. so barack and malia read all of the harry potter books aloud from front to cover, , from the front to the back. and then she could see the movie after they read it. so that was their father daughter ritual. and i stayed out of that because you know you what the father to have a thing that they do. i don't know anything about harry potter because i i wasn't even going to get involved in that. so that's their thing. so when sasha got older i read like a pie with her and then we saw the movi

, i was inspired to read. >> i hope so. >> you talk about reading slowly and backing up your books and all the things that readers do. i just love this book and look forward to questions. we will have it for sale for $20. >> i rode the train for four hours to get here. >> if you raise your hand, stand up maybe. thank you. >> my name is haley, i'm in georgetown and i worked there in the summer. my question is aristotle, i read a couple of times, i would say i'm not a scholar. one of the things that he talked about his emulating someone who is a good person and following their behaviors in order to practice and sometimes i find that devolves into suggested system. how you respond to that? >> that's a great question. course i sort of adhere to that model because i am saying that in literature, we can find characters who are honest to any late or not. i think it's an example as well i think that that is a wise approach but i think the aristotle tempers that and i also would temper that by pointing out, he basically designs with the virtues are. the objective, old-

this is -- i don't usually read from this book like i read poetry. so i'll read a little built of the introduction that tells the story. failing schools, underpriseres schools, just plain bad schools. the fodder of particulars, tsk, so tad to what's we we sinned our school to private school and we're so lucky. they're the stuff of legend, material for inspirational movies and shocking primetime news expo says. in seahawks we that are called the worst in the nation by william bennett, seconds of education under ronald reagan, more recently illinois governor called them indiana quit, wolfe e woe. and only crumbling prisons, a quote from the governor. chicago public schools have been positioned in the nation's imagination as at best charity cases deserving sympathy, at worth a malignants force to be ignored if you can or understand out all together if you can come up with something better. in this sense chicago is like many other urban school districts that primarily serve students of collar, views with pity and contempt. so in 2013, when mayor rahm eman

i thought of read it and ifelt people to speak out. ought of read it and i felt there people to speak out. i thought of read it and ifelt there is people to speak out. i thought of read it and i felt there is too people to speak out. i thought of read it and ifelt there is too much exposure here of quite a vulnerable young woman, self exposure, if you like. the point is well made. there is too much there that i would be worried about. you can't sell your soul like that, open your soul in that way. i think there is an important distinction to be made between people who are taking a rest from drinking after christmas and people like jack monroe have coming to terms, for the first time, she says her alcoholism. she has addressed this in her article and apologised to those around her though she has worked with for the trouble that renting is caused in her life. we have to leave it there. —— alcohol has caused in her life. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website.

when i read i can speak specifically but when i look at the way certain people in body and articulate traditions they make complete sense to me. one is james cohen's recent book called the cross and "the lynching" tree. the christian theologian. i'm reading a book now by a buddhist mama who talks about his tradition in a way that is very powerful. i don't think we have one narrative for the human race. maybe when we get more unified as a global community that may emerge. do you think so? >> that's a good question. >> it's a question worth asking. >> just to sum it up i would say looking at it from an objective standpoint for as best as possible considering were on a mission. that's why i was pointing back to the historical to see if there is any validity based in the records especially with regards to what you have studied. in any others in comparison to the validity of others. >> i think they are so rooted in particular tradition. take the story about the exodus. those traditions are so rooted in that history and muslim tradition is rooted in a very different history. i don't see how

her book i would say good, find it and please read. the first line is: honey i, are you sure you want to be shaved? because it's true. right? it says everything. we have to want our lives to be betterment we have to really want to try to sort of move forward in the world, and i just feel like almost anything that is going nonyour lives, you're going find an answer for it in the salt eaters. >> thank you. camille? >> sister outsider, audrey lord. i mean, i just always return to her work, i always feel fed by her. so that's my short answer. >> blair? >> you stole mine. i would say definitely for colored girls that had a big impact on my life. also i think my book, modern hersh story but on the real because there's a glassry in the back and i think what was frustrating for me in -- my feminist awakening was i had to go to so many different sours to find different answers to things. and so in the glossary, on the subject of gender, talks out make -- there's a recommendation about making african sense of generalter and talking but decoloni

i will read you what the telegram said. ving a lovely time stop if i ever find you in london stop will break your neck stop. [laughter] >> that is one of many characters in the story who is amazing. they arrive in holland, they are sent by ship back to britain. they are heralded by the king of england, they are lauded in national newspapers and international newspapers, it was a huge propaganda win for the british. it was exactly the kind of derring-do against german might the allies needed in the darkest time of the war. i like to bookend these stories and answer questions, returning again to james bennett. this is james when he was a young man in world war i. james was shot down over the north see as a royal narrow naval air service observer. he landed, he and his pilot landed in the north the, they were captured by nothing other than a submarine who pulled up essentially right underneath them. he was taken to germany, taken to holtzman and was one of the ten who made it home. in world war ii he served as an mi 9 agent thr

i learned how to read in prison. but free minds open my mind to different things and different authors i wouldn't even have thought about picking up. and i definitely appreciate that. >> and i would say, i am not an avid reader. i did graduate school and now a faculty member in i'm assigning my students to read about the issues about the justice system. i don't call myself an avid reader but when i pick up this book to come here and be able to connect with you guys, it takes me a place i don't get to go on a daily basis. i'm so much on a daily grind being a dad and a husband and a professor and researcher, all those things i don't get to do that creative work we do here and be able to connect my story and the book and you all together to realize there's a lot of commonality and things that connect you if you don't make it if you're just on the daily grind. the other thing for me, every time i come into a prison or a jail, and i've been doing this since undergrad now, similar things. the feeling of walking out is a sur

i read the scene to my wife, and she goes, "yeah. this is good fur." and i went, "what!> stephen: good luck. good luck.

i just want to read and i want to read this one from has it here who's a former gas and also a syrian refugee himself because he talks about what we should do when we hear stories like that so has and says six point two million displaced within syria by point six million outside lebanon seventy thousand at risk of the extreme weather the media this is old news now people people have empathy but they don't act so we need to change that international law has failed us and just before i go to you with this d.m. or someone else is picking up on that angle of people. he's a doctor who is doing what he can for a u.s. base in geo called med global this is doctors ahead of you i believe that the real tragedy here is the apathy and the lack of the attention of the international community to what's happening in syria to what's happening to the syrian children we have not seen even one demonstration in the our ward or in the muslim world or in the western countries about the death of dozens of syrian children dying because of the weather if one syrian child died freezing to death it's a horrible

i remember reading about it. i was reading in this case about sort of the aftermath of the battle. it certainly gripped me hearing about what i was able to get from doing my research then. my next book was about whitman and a group that spent the civil war hanging out in a bar in manhattan, kind of objectors before that term arose. they got wind or caught news of the way antietam -- they heard about this horrible battle that they felt was yet another reason that, you know, that this war was unjust. then, you know, i decided i thought i would just dive into -- made these couple cameos. the battle compelled. i found it interesting. so i decided to dive in. i actually found that some of the research i had done previously actually really was applicable most of all, the research that i did on olmstead which involved trying to learn about and describe landscapes. the landscapes he was creating were for pleasure, for recreation, but there are certainly thoughtful landscapes in which the features of the landscape really came into play. if there's a beautiful bridge, it's where it is for a r

i read about a book at night. i find something i don't know and then i'll read it. the book is just someone else's interpretation of something that i can look up myself. i want different perspectives and viewpoints. especially where we are now. look at where this country is now. >> where is this country now be met as conservatives we are up against a group of people who don't have any forethought, who don't think ahead. you can't, in any realistic scenario, in the real world, play out the socialists dream and come to a conclusion that benefits the people. it's never worked anywhere. there's no example where you can say, point to scandinavia or all the other things, they don't realize that it doesn't scale. there are six or 10 million people in those countries combined. we have over 300 million people and how many tens of millions aren't even in the system. it doesn't work. and so, you look at a generation, my kids are between 16 and 22. they are in college and they're pretty conservative. they are listening to liberal professors and they will text me and my son has o

[laughter] i can read them, but i'm a terrible actor and i am awful when i read my own jokes. e've been together so long that we can finish each other's divorce threats. you can stop here. this is-- [laughter] i never thought i would have to move back in with my parents. [laughter] you know, the generation graduates college and come back but we had our children late in life so you wonder what it will look like. what i love about this and what i love about humor in the work we do-- [laughter] is that with this kind of cartoon, i find cartoons when you have books on fear humor can be wonderful because if you can laugh at something, you no longer fear it. something really powerful and humor indefinitely with cartoons and what i love most is when we export topics like this, it's personal in my life and we are also similar. we are connected as humans in our experience. when i was a kid i loved getting new yorker collections were easy the 30s and 40s and you can go back and see the cartoons that still work today with bob and dates as well. these are cartoons i can go on forever. i br

it's the reason why we haven't seen much, in my view, and know, look, i get in trouble, i read in "the new york times" today that one of my problems isify ever run for president -- is if i ever run for president, i like republicans. bless me, father, for i have sinned. [laughter] [applause] but, you know, from where i come from, i don't know how you get anything done. we start talking to one another again. there's a big article today, fred upton, i went out and spoke

i read you some of the k. i would just read you some of the lines from what he has said.ing about the passing of charlotte's life and the effect it had on herfamily. he said that some time after the accident he felt suicidally depressed at what happened and that is why he was unable to speak about that. he also said he could t—z ' he cooperating with the court. so, he is making this statement now as is making this statement—now as wej speak. earlier, iwas in is making this statement—now as wej speak. earlier, i was in the is making this statement—now as wej speak. earlier, would n the is making this statement—now as wej speak. earlier, would n tr to describe, it is quite a small court room, full ljournalists, face”. is taco”? is sitting a and is ‘ who is court - who is | to the remand thi in remand f: ' ' thi in custody emand f: ' ' thi in custody em three 25; ' ' his acts of 33 his acts of his she his acts of his she his acts thiss she his 33‘s has 5 she have - right his . 5— protest his extradition if they can prove that is protest his extradition if they can prove that

yes i read the transcripts of estates and i found it's a most peculiar one but i think i can partly explain it i think that mr is trying to reassure americans key allies in the middle east and who say ah israel saudi arabia and to a lesser its extent egypt that america despite having lost in its objectives in syria is not walking away from the middle east is not a weakened force in the middle east now of course there is a lot of truth to that because as i said moments ago the american objects in syria has been a defeat states and has been defeated in large measure because of the russia but at the same time since mr trump became president of course america's ties to its two most crucial allies in that region israel and saudi arabia have been enhanced greatly let us not yet trump has now recognized jerusalem as israel's capital and of course trump assigns defense contracts for saudi arabia to the chair not something like five hundred billion or six hundred billion dollars so yes it's a strange states because we all know all people want this planet at least know that america is a great force f

i learned how to read in prison. but free minds opened my mind to different things and different off her toes i wouldn't have thought but -- different author is wouldn't have thought out picking up. i kev northwesterly appreciate that. >> would say, the same for me. i'm not an avid reader. i did graduate school now i'm a faculty member and my students read about the issued of the justice system and i still don't call myself an avid reader but when i pick up the book and come in here, it takes me to a place i don't get to go daily. i'm being a dad, bag husband, being a professor, bag researcher, all of those thing its don't get to do this kind of -- the kind of creative work we can do here and connect my story and the book's story and y'all story together to realize there's a lot of commonality and a lot of up packed things that -- connections you don't make when you're just going on a daily grind and the other thing for me is every time i come into a prison or a jail and i've been doing this since undergrad now, simil

before i got here i would have never read a book like this. i learned how to read in prison. but the mines opened up my mind to different thing things, difft authors i wouldn't have even thought about picking up. i definitely appreciate that. >> i'm not an avid reader either. i've been to graduate school now i'm a faculty member inviting my students to read about the issues of the justice system and i still don't call myself an avid reader but when i pick up and connect with you guys it takes me to a place i don't get to go on a daily basis. i'm so much in the daily grind being a dad, husband, professor, researcher that i don't get to do this kind of creative work we get to do here and be able to connect my story and your stories together to realize there's a lot of commonality and a lot of untapped things and connections you don't make when you're just in the daily grind. the other thing for me as every time i come into a prison or jail and i've been doing this since i was an undergrad, similar thing is, the feeling of walking out is a surreal feeling to be because i know tha

i am reading stories online about stuff already done that is not true. i would love to make a deal, am a free trader. we are working on it. give us some time. people keep writing stuff, i do not know where they are getting this stuff. cohn said he is confused about what the white house strategy is. he said it makes no sense whatsoever as far as thousands of federal employees. what is your reaction? is mydlow: he predecessor, a great american. that is all i have to say. he has his own views, i do not agree or disagree. >> [indiscernible] mr. kudlow: with respect to what? we have been negotiating from day one. >> what is the white house going to do? mr. kudlow: the white house will make it clear, i am not negotiating with you, i am stating policies that we must fix the border. border security including the wall or whatever the construct of the wall is, is a principle we have to fight for. to preserve the united states. to preserve the united states. >> are you willing to go under $5.7 million? mr. kudlow: i am not here to negotiate at all. , am just saying

i haven't read it in years but i have read it several times. if i meet a young person who says what books i read? that is always the top of my list. >> host: the next three, nonfiction, the powerbroker, robert caro. and lawrence in arabia. >> guest: it was hard, producer said what are your favorite books? i have a lot. anything by le carre, anything by graham greene, anything by william kennedy who wrote a great book called roscoe and anything by yale doctorhow. it is always tragic. several of them are gone and we will never get another graham greene book, we will never get another book by edward doctorhow. the three nonfiction, i am sure i'm leaving a lot of things out. i looked at my bookshelf. the powerbroker is a long book about a guy named robert moses, who ran -- what was it? and authority. not -- an elected official, and authority in new york city and was in charge of bridges, tunnels, highways. sounds kind of mundane. to get all the money from the tolls, he got to decide where the highways and parkways would go. some are beautiful and ot

i will read from from more. [calling names] >> hello. name is lindy, and i sit on the latino cultural district council. as eric and vicky both mentioned , this corner has been such an important anchor for the district for so long. both the gallery, but also the way that they use the public space, the way that their roots went out into the community, and just speaking of it in the past is an emotional thing, the billboard, the windows, the displays that reached out for all of the passersby and educated and sometimes provoked, and encompass the whole community, the artists in the community, many of who wouldn't be seem, and windy who went on to become nationally, and internationally known. it was really unfortunate from the perspective of the district that even with the negotiation of the city, they couldn't reach a resolution. but this is sacred space. the roots are really deep. i new paragraph i am a neighbor as well, and it is just a really important anchor. we have brought up further down, we have this corner which galleria has owned t

so, i mean, i haven't read it in years, but i did read it -- you know, i've read it several times. and that's, you know, if i meet a young person who says, like, what book should i read i've never read, that's always on the top of my list. >> host: the next three, nonfiction. the power broker, robert caro. bright shining lie, and lawrence in arabia. >> guest: it was really hard. your producer said what are your favorite books, you know? and i have a lot. i also said anything by lecarre, anything by graham greene, anything by william kennedy who wrote a great book called rosco, and anything by gayle doctorow. there are authors who i love, and to me it's always tragic that several of them now are gone, and we will never get another graham greene book, we'll never get another book by a good doctorow. but i mean for the three nonfiction, i'm sure i'm leaving things out. i thought about it hard. the power broker is a long book by a guy named robert moses who was, who ran the port of, you know, what is it, an authority. not a state government, not an hecht elected official, but an authori

i read it as -- edit it, i read it as written. >> president cook: commissioner merase? >> commissioner murase: thank you very much for this report. i have to say over the two terms that i've served on this board, this area has shown the most progress. when i first came on board there wasn't this level of focus and commitment and staffing, and so i'm very pleased to be part of this effort? and i am very optimistic that the lessons that we glean from this effort can be transferred to other underserved, unperforming groups, such as our latino students, our pacific islander students, our low-income asian american students. so i'm really hoping that we can capture all the good work that's being done for african american students and use those learnings to really lift up all of those student groups. thank you very much for this report. >> president cook: commissioner haney? >> commissioner haney: i want to thank you for all your -- i was going to call you dr. dickie. i thought maybe we had something to congratulate you on. wouldn't be surprised if you were getting a ph.d. stat
