i knew her son was. for that reason i believed god put that thought into my head and i believed god pushed me into what i did next which was totally illogical. i asked this woman, is your son a? well you don't ask people that question especially in a conservative area like our texas and a member of the southern baptist church. she was shocked. she hesitated for quite some time before she eventually said yes, but that's just the way god made him and god loves them just the way he is. well is my turn to be shocked. i had never heard that before that god loved and especially the god loves when they weren't even pretending to be straight. her words that morning changed my life. it would take too long to explain all the emotions i experienced that very afternoon. but mime emotions centered in on this woman. her words of acceptance, words i have never heard before stirred that dad spotted my heart and i fell in love with her. after all my efforts to avoid this very problem never telling anybody i was, never rea

but i was -- i had young children and i was -- i was 31 or 32 i think at the time. and i just had a wonderful time. because i didn't think of the cadets as young little boys so to speak. they were all gentlemen to me and i mean, i was not that much older than they were. and i think we just had a lot of fun together. i went to all of the -- i went to the swimming and to the wrestling and track and, you know, and football of course. baseball. and i loved it all. and the kids would go with me sometimes and sometimes they would say no. but -- >> what were your favorite activities here? >> i loved wrestling can you believe it, but i loved swimming and -- well, i love football of course. and i loved baseball. but i loved -- i just loved sports. >> right. and i imagine that you went to all the formal events, right? >> yes. yes. >> so all the different dances and that sort of thing. >> not all of them, no. >> yeah. and -- oh, yeah, tell me about entertaining at quarters 100. >> oh, well, you could seat ten on either side and so it would be -- >> the tables -- >> at the big

never understood, i was chosen. here's this incredible man, i had never met him, i didn't know he even knew my name, and yeah, no, we had our picture taken together. but i never got -- i never got to ask him why. >> are you a fan of him? >> of course i am a fan. you know, but i would not have said that he was a major influence on me, except as someone indirectly. indirectly he was an influence on us all. that's because, here i am, i have immigrant roots. i'm very interested in america. it's all fresh and new to me. everything is interesting. of course i want to write about it. i think he gave us the idea that was what the novel was for. the novel was for capturing america and writing america. part of america. you have the series, the whole idea was to capture america in his books; right? and that was his project. and i think he could see me -- i think maybe he understood that there was more to america than just what we saw in the books. i think maybe he saw me as somebody who was going to carry on that project, and h

every lunch -- bill bennett was speaking and i noted this was his sixth time this when i presented him with the mug, i said you can use this for brunch. you have a complete set. [laughter] >> thank you. thank you so much. announcer: you're watching tv.ican history 48 hours of american programming on american history every weekend on he spent three. follow us on twitter@c-span history. and keep up with the latest schedule. from a maryland congresswoman helen delich bentley served in the u.s. house of representatives. from 1985 to 1995. she was a member of the merchant marine and fisheries & appropriations committees. she talks about her career as a reporter for the baltimore sun, covering maritime issues and her appointment as chairwoman of the federal maritime commission which made her the highest ranking woman in the nixon administration. she also discussed her run for congress. much of the winning election to interview focused on her career before the house. a second conversation was planned, but the former congresswoman died in august 2016, just months after this was recorded by the

i told this story, where was i? maybe i was at a speech. the last time i was coming out of a bar with my mom the escalator was broken. do you know why it was broken? you know why so i don't need to tell you. anyway it was human caused. anyway it was full of stuff, human stuff. that's the problem. i think it's just sad a beautiful city is becoming a little rain. >> is that too strong of a word? [applause] you know what the problem is, it's a fear. concern is being construed as having judgment. you can be concerned about somebody's mental health. that's not passing judgment and i talked about this and institutionalization is that a problem or new york and united states states. i'm not passing judgment. spreading concern for people with serious problems but if you express any concern about that you are somehow passing judgment on people. you were just an awful person. that is then the big carrier. >> speaking of local people in your book you suggest maybe there should be something like an on line amnesty for things you've done on social media.

and i was not pleased with the outcome, of course. i lost. that was in 1980. in 1982, i ran again. this was after redistricting had taken place. i had a better potential as a republican. so i had all of my quarters in mind and we ran. i lost by two percentage points. and i decided i'm going once more. and this time, i pushed the issue of the 50 foot channel and the need for it. and i really acquired a much larger volunteer support and but am i still on the second time? >> you are on a third time. 1984. helen: ok. ok. i had a nasty challenge in the primary. as david who had been one of jack's heroes. of course, i'm a two-time was a loser, get out. his claim was since he had been born there, though he has never lived there, he was as entitled to run in the district as i was. well, you know, who knows. this comes later. i have my little red button. and i ran hard. >> in any of those campaigns, did you receive support from women's groups? helen: no. they were not active in maryland at that time. i received help from the maritime people. mostly. i had a limited amount from women's groups

i. was ok i. think you. want me to be a oh. ok. ok . ok. ok ok ok. ok ok. ok. ok. whatever that was. was. there five years. because. their mother a heart was. being. sucked up thinking it. was. all over so it was close. he. was. saying he was. ok because. they are using because he. it was like you forgot was very slightly odd she smells like that and she said that there are lots are pretty far out there was that was there was she knew. already that but that was when views on my answer was this that that she was. married. was was it. was i that was that was my feelings are we going to i'm going. to send luke on some of the love. that was fun bluenoses a little like windows only to let him feel it was also a puzzle or the title by i'm going to give mom a boy about it involved with the make another end up listing the book put up by philip explore. these moves with google in a moment because when i confronted him about the. book they see so many things in the book of a asa get me behind because i like from my past so i mean looking you know boston where your future maw

so i was, i was training. and i somehow or another convinced, like, my parents to help me pay for a world cup. and i remember taking, like, a good look at team usa, the usa fencing team, and to me, it wasn't diverse enough in that i didn't see someone who looked like me. even with the women's saber team, there had never been a woman of color on the team before. i was going against what everyone around me was telling me, you know? i was 23 when i went to my first international competition. i had no world ranking. i had no national ranking. i had never had a senior competition before i graduated from college. so there were a lot of naysayers around me telling me what wasn't possible, that, you know, an olympic team wasn't in my future because i had never been on a cadet or junior team that, you know, i don't have the tactical training or skills to ever make a national team or qualify for an olympic team. so a lot of i feel like my journey as an athlete is kind of about challenging what the people around me think

i don't know. was somewhat skeptical when i came in, but i think the argument is he is shaking things up. the world trading system is broken. barriers have gone up. the world trading organization is broken. china is the biggest offender. china property rights, , intellectual rights, forced transfers of technology, rising tariffs, rising non-tariff barriers. this stuff is all wrong. the biggest culprit, not the only one, but the biggest one and i think potus is exactly , right to go after them. you can argue about tactics. i understand that. but i do not know where kent would come out. as a free trader, i should be opposed to all tariffs? i don't know about that. i don't like blanket tariffs. to this day, i continue to oppose the steel and aluminum national security tariffs. but the battle against china is correct. the use of tariffs in that battle is i guess controversial, but i favor it. other presidents, democrat and republican presidents, have gone after china and unfair trading practices, but never

as i looked around me, i was frightened. would have to face a new life, very different than the one we had known in japan. ♪ >> the next evening, walter invited his family to come to the house and to see the pictures he had taken in the japan. i was uneasy because i was not sure if these people like me. -- if these people liked me. something unpleasant happened to me. walter's cousin wanted me to introduce myself. english was hard for me then. especially under pressure. what i expected happened. i could not understand a word. i knew there was no reason to be upset. i felt stupid and ashamed. walter: i took this picture of her on our wedding day. this is her hometown, where we met. this is her mother. she took this picture of me near mount fuji. one thing that especially intrigued me was bamboo. this is her and i just after we became engaged. this is a picture of her family. taken the day we were married. the pictures show was almost like introducing her family to my own. more than anything else, i --ted my mother to expect re

i was working as a clerk typist. one of the duties i had to do was to fingerprint elvis presley, when he came into the country. >> when you got through there, i think you might have been a little bored? >> board completely. i think i needed to try to become a better soldier. i think -- thought i wanted to go with the infantry. i signed with the infantry at fort benning, georgia and i worked with the basic training unit. in this basic training unit, my duty at that time was a type of course where they are flying live ammunition over your head. machine guns locked into positions to fire way above your head. i did this for some time. i kind of became bored with that, also. there was an organization at that time called the army special forces. i decided at that time frame that i might this try this -- just try this. i headed to volunteer for special forces. i volunteered to be a paratrooper. i volunteered again for the army, to do this. i was selected to try to become a special forces member at that time frame. this requi

i was very fortunate. that was very fortunate. it made it easier to serve as well. >> what about the constituents you had. how are they represented? >> basically, at that time i would say it was a split district but people voted republican on a national level and at that time the republicans were in charge of the city. it's split completely now. i think there's two members of city council. >> one of the things in our interviews, we have an image of you, a campaign button where the house collection. is there any particular story attached to that campaign button or personal memory? >> not really. we just always used my name. sue was something that was easy for people to remember. we just always did sue. that's who i am. i told people i was sue before i got elected. if i'm elected, i'll be sue in office, and i'll be sue when live. if i'm not, i don't deserve to be here. i think that's one of the problems with office today an especially on the federal level is people get up here and they forget who they are. they forget their roots and

she was stuck and i could guess why. she was looking at the seven letters of my first name and wondering how to pronounce it. is your last name mohammed chess? her eyes fixed on me. the only fourth-grader in the classroom wearing a hijab. yes, not a. my eyes glued in front of me. and how do you pronounce your first mate? it's in p hodge. it's pronounced like it is written. that helped people understand my name but it didn't help her. she made another face, the kind you make when your mouth plans on something better. oh, that's too hard she said shaking her head no and scribbling something down. were going to call you it be. [applause] >> thank you so much for that reading. i'm so excited about this book in the world. i was really excited about you being in the world when i first started following u.s. an athlete. then when i found out you had written proud which is a phenomenal book i was excited that your story was going to get into the world. just looking around the world, it is so beautiful to me. being able to see thi

i think he was really begging, when i understand what he was doing. because i think i might have chosen education rather than because i am more bringing people of education wise and small business. -- the onlyization agriculture -- doing agriculture i have learned a lot. and agriculture was an old boys culture. there was one woman. yes -- shethey said, becamere for years and the assistant secretary for agriculture. and then the women came. they came and left. it was an old boys culture. by composition, but also by attitude. i had to prove to them i was worthy of membership. i had to prove that i was worthy of advocating for big farmers as well as small farmers. i had to prove to them i could advocate even for the hungry. me long to learn how to halt trade. they needed me as much as i needed them because agriculture is such a complex and interrelated, interdependent -- -- and i had a diversion in my area. i had big poultry. i had peanut farmers. i have small farmers and the black farmers. were inclined to me. and sometimes there was a conflict. but you

i was the chair of that. that time in the mid-1980's that we were dealing with the fact that there were mandatory arrests. i remember the discussion on domestic violence being something like this. it is a family matter. you go to the door. the cops say, usually to the gentleman, take a walk and cool down. do you want to press charges? and even if the woman was clearly incapacitated and they knew she was scared, if she said, no. they closed the books. to think of where we have gotten today as a society, i remember doing hearings on domestic violence. even my dad sitting there hearing female victims and being shocked by what they had to go through. it was that family secret. then all of a sudden, it became political. people wanted to cosponsor the act against women's violence. they wanted to talk about domestic violence is a political issue. that is what needed to be done. right now, we're working on underage sex trafficking. all of a sudden, it has become an issue that is become political. the united states sen

i was operating under the idea that if i saw something was wrong i needed to go with my gut and needed to fix it. that was the way i'd come up ass a marine is what i believe all marines operated and i learned quickly that was not the case. >> host: as you were moving forward, let me back up for a second. i had a question that sense in this context. there have been female marines for a long time, for decades. a brigadier general you met in the flesh. why do you think the prospects you with a 70 to command, even your time as recruit commander, recruiting command, why do you think those have not been addressed or aired out publicly or privately this? decades when in service and very high-ranking positions. >> guest: part of it is maintaining the status quo reserved the position in the hierarchy for men. if you think about it, we're getting rid of our 10 100 year anniversary of women in the marine corps and that's wonderful but when you think about all the commanders who came before me on that recruit depot, other women who were in charge of the battalion, in charge of training, the fact t

i was disallowed going into as i was i being it was funny and. you know. you want to have a nice time but when i signed you know. jennifer gave birth to marianne after sleeping with a german customer a year later she met a local filipino guy. they are married but have now lived together for nine years it was really remarkable and. luckily. for us you don't really. want to own the mom of the. month and the mother and about i can ok let me. know. and i've got hundreds of them all on hand. for like. you know i'm. looking up with. out in the middle of a lot of political you. know possibly. well i'm one of the ones. most of the. united states. on my. block and. he's not in a band oh i don't. have boy just made on on i made money from us. i was the name of an unfair balance when it's not i mean of course i mean you and i are doing almost about when i'm firing i. will. not hear hear. oh then feed they then say what you have to do if. you are. very. close eleven forty eight. get. a good feeling you're right you look tired. are they sleep and you know i'm exhausted

i was the only female. i also was in a position because i had some experience, to say that you know i care. if you could translate what i was saying, i have a record and demonstrate that i care. not only have i put myself there early but i have demonstrated that i care about rural areas, properties and you. i think i was in a unique position because i was the only woman. i was in a position to say without saying i, eva, a woman, i said i, eva clayton. if i needed to say that, i would. women who would support me obviously said eva clayton as a woman will do this. i attracted a number of women groups inside and outside my district who knew that the issues that i cared about were issues that women cared about. so gender was there whether i said woman or not because i was the only woman who ran and that helped me. if i had to women i would have said i care more right? in fact what i did say, we have six good candidates but eva clayton is the best. rather than to say he doesn't do that he doesn't do that. i just

and i -- that was in '80. in '82, i ran again, and this was after redistricting had taken place, and i had a better potential as a republican. so i had all of my quarters in line, and we ran. i lost by two percentage points. and i decided i'm going once more. and this time, i pushed the issue of the 50-foot channel and the need for it. and i really acquired a much larger volunteer support and more money. but -- but, am i still on the second time i ran. >> you're on the third time. '84. >> okay. okay. that's -- okay. i had a nasty challenge in the primary from a guy named david schmick who had been one of jack kemp's heroes. now, of course, i was a two-time loser. get out. so his claim was that since he'd been born there, although he had never lived there, he was as entitled to run there in that district as i was. well, you know, who knows. this comes later. i had my little red buttons, and i ran. i ran hard. >> in any of those campaigns, did you receive support from any women's groups or organizations? >> no. i

and when i was 13 i realised i was gay and that came back and i remembered it was something that god apparently very much against. was it an impossible notion that you could have talked to anybody as a teenager about your growing awareness that you were a gay young woman? well, i had several options. one of them would have been school, but because of section 28, as people in the uk know, the law that actually basically prohibited schools from teaching about same—sex relationships, we didn't have any education about lgbt issues at school, and so there wasn't anybody i could talk to there. the most natural people to turn to in some ways would have been your parents but that was impossible? in theory. my parents very much believe the teachings of the evangelical church, so i knew what they would have said, and i knew what they thought, so that meant i didn't feel comfortable and didn't feel comfortable at church. so at home, church and school, are people's main avenues, aren't they? and i did not feel able to talk to anybody in any of those. here we sit here in a tv studio talking openl

i was 4 years old when i was separated from my parents. so i can see through him what had happened to me. i certainly remember at 4 years old this was a traumatic experience. when you're h4, you have no understanding you're being taken away from your parents possibly for your own good. all i felt was this tremendous loss and pain. that has stayed with me through decades. my son, if i'm away from him for a day or two, i find that to be painful. he finds that to be painful. so i can completely imagine for these children who are being taken away from their parents under situations of coercion that the trauma is even greater, especially if they're being taken away from many, many months. i was only gone for three months from my parents and if they're taking away with strangers who may not be particularly hospitable, which in my case is not what happened. but even that barely mitigated the situation of being taken away from my parents. >> you are a real success story. obviously highly educated. you're right now a professor of english. you are a

but i was told that i was imagining it all.as 21, i really had a sensation of doors closing on me. and a feeling that i was not going to be able to make a professional career, that my health was in my way, and so i thought, "well, i better have something that i am "in charge of." and i still had to work, of course. i still had a job but i started writing in the evenings, on the weekends, and i set my stall out for a big novel that i knew would take many years. but that is the beauty of being 22, because the time just stretches ahead of you. and i still had no connections and i didn't know anybody who was a writer. but what do you need? well, you need a piece of paper and a pencil and you are ready to go. so you tell me that if you had not been ill, you would not have become a writer? i certainly would not have taken the decision at that precise time. i think possibly i would have made way way back to writing when i was living abroad, during which time i didn't have any meaningful career, so i think i would have come back to wri

and if i was interested in something, i generally excelled.nd what i was interested in was what was going on in the world. so the vietnamese war was going on, there was a general sort of uprising of students taking place. so i decided to start a magazine to campaign against the things i thought were wrong in the world, and particularly the vietnamese war. david: this was when you were 15 years old? richard: yeah. david: so you dropped out of school at more or less 15, start the magazine. as part of the magazine, you get -- at the start of the magazine, you get prominent interviews, like some from mick jagger. was it hard to get an interview with mick jagger when you are 15 years old? richard: you know, in some ways, i think if you are 15, you have a better chance of getting interviews with people than if you are 30 or 40 or 50. i would just turn up at people's houses. and because i was young and enthusiastic, they generally took pity on me. david: ultimately, you decided to start a record company. where did you get that idea from, and where do

— i merely new my father was someone i was scared. illness— i merely new my father was someone i wasion programme on manic depression with stephen fry, stephen who is himself by pollard said that in his depressive stage he felt com pletely in his depressive stage he felt completely useless. i think that is how my father must have felt. most of my life i had to fight against the creeping conviction that i might be completely useless also. at such times i understand that my father would not have wanted me to be like him. that has taken a lot of time to work through. my mother was very good after my father ‘s death about it. when you think about somebody being incredibly low, you just think, iam being incredibly low, you just think, i am so ordinary, such a com plete think, i am so ordinary, such a complete non— person and do not want my darling son to be like me. nowadays some of the taboos have been broken, talking about mental illness and it was not true when you we re illness and it was not true when you were a child. was that difficult to write? suppose it not because he is dead. i

i was really taken. this is why i decide to do my book with them, because at first i went with the big publisher, you know, simon & shuster, and i was not really tickled pink with them. but then the association has really blew me away, because they don't short change everything. they go the long way. they like my dessert, union? well, it's going to take several hours. well, let's do it and let's do it. this is why i appreciate working with them. and i hope that we will continue this nice communication we have for a long time. so ladies and gentlemen, i wish you the best of time in d.c. i will see you again around. but enjoy yourself and i hope you enjoyed this little speech, okay? thank you. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you very much. [ cheers ]

i was aware of my fear was not balance so i was i was part of the problem. but what was clear i had to i had to go out to my first official meeting at the offices of the foundation so i got dressed up and fixed my hair to express happiness and gratitude. i wanted to hug my friends but they were far away. late that night after jet lag and political anxiety forbidden by the weekend to decide around midnight my previous work on emotion had not gone deep enough as i examined i own fear it donned on me that here was the underlying issue a nebulous abusing american society. >> welcome back and coulter how resistance is futile. we will. we will get to the book butt le first i want to make use of your legal background. t come >> i was wondering if that would come up. i have i haven't practiced law in a while but i write a little bit about both cases that manafort case and has nothingtr. what

and i was at the l.a. n they announced his name, people were, like, took their shirts off and threw -- i mean, they were -- they limit it to 6,000 people. and it was huge. and so all i did in every game was hide. >> seth: okay. [ laughter ] >> and i was just a coward the whole time. i did the coward. i was in loot lake. and i just hid. then i heard a guy running. i ran up behind him and shot him. [ laughter ] and my kids -- then ninja died before me so my kids were like, "you're the greatest dad of all time." >> seth: wow! >> yeah. [ laughter ] "i don't know how you did it, dad." >> seth: congratulations. >> they're like, "you didn't embarrass us. i can't believe it." >> seth: that seems like so much pressure. because i'm assuming ninja and the likes, these are younger people? >> no, no. they're in their 60s. [ laughter ] yeah. it's what retirees do instead of playing pinochle in the park. >> seth: it's the new thing. >> yeah. >> seth: it took over for shuffleboard. >> ninja is -- he's actually a little bit

but my favorite was intel. i loved the intelligence committee and that was one of my hardest decisions when i left was leaving the intelligence committee. it's a phenomenally well working committee, democrats and republicans worked together, you could get something done. it was so nice, it really was. i felt that was a big part of national security. i started the anti-terrorism caucus after 2001. that was a very important part of what i believed i could -- where i believed i could make a difference. so i didn't -- i didn't like leaving that committee, very frankly. and they still work good together. >> on the rules committee, i just wanted to ask you a quick question about that, there were only a few women that were on that panel, you when you first were on, deborah price and louise slaughter. what was the welcome like for you and also did you work together as women at all? >> yeah, we were all good friends. deborah and i had been friends before and deborah was another one that, you know, was a mentor to people a

>> i was about 13. y parents were dare i say it, immigrants who had gone to high school and i really didn't figure them out. eastern european, lithuanian, polish, they didn't communicate. we were a different generation very quickly. my mother communicated by cooking. my father communicated by saying nothing. [laughter] and so, he liked walter whitman, so i knew he could read and write, but he never talked about it. when i was 13, i saw these ads for the book of the month club which was huge back then. it was 99 cents a month and i only signed up for the nonfiction. four of the 12 months i would get something by edgar hoover and the perils of communism for john gunther, somebody might remember him. in the chinese civilization and so it's like what. they didn't teach you much in school. i could read and write and stuff like that. did you detect it was fishy, that something was wrong? >> how in the hell do i remember? you ask yourself that question -- i don't remember often. >> i jump ahead 10 years, 15 yea

hired was the year i i went through all these changes in place at parris island and he started to hear from his contacts because he retired my name was brought up in staff meetings for the commandant who is the equivalent of the ceo of a fortune 500 company in charge of the whole marine corps so how weird is it you have this little ditty lieutenant colonel of the whole marine corps talked about by name in the navy -- in the meeting? we recognize early this was as general dunford was conducting his own test to see how well men and women could perform with each other in ground combat roles. we knew he did not want women to go into these roles but we were showing they could shoot can be tough and strong and not rake and compete he was showing the opposite with this task force and those two things started to collide in march 2015i went 2015 i went to my husband's retirement general dunford was the presiding officer we were sitting in his office with my in-laws and the general said how is everything going at parris island? i was brief

i was 21 then. i was in classes with 18-year-old kids. it was like a different world between 18 and 21. now i am 71 and retired. hindsight, whole thing was a mistake. host: thank you for sharing your story. guest: it's interesting to hear him talk about not wanting to go to the wall. it's interesting. it's about a monument to a war we talked the least about. we know how to look at the wall, but we don't have the language yet. we are getting there thanks to documentaries like lynn's. interviewsd in my with a lot of veterans, they want to know who is watching. who's watching out for us western mark you are only -- stay to save alive alive and for your buddies. there is a sense of dislocation to the vietnam experience. no one was offering a moment, nobody really was in charge. there was no order and principle. i read a book about world war ii and they came home under a very similar cloud. their story had been framed early. we knew how the narrative ended. that was the good war. it's interesting how now in later life, we should really think to

bennie adkins: 1965. 66, i was in vietnam again. it was not so common, one of the positions -- -- my friend came after me and said, i want to make you my intelligence sergeant. keep in mind, this was the organization where you got to sleep and real beds and had real food to eat. i said, i can do this. i cleared post and reported to the sergeant major two days later and he said, then, i have bad news for you. hit in aant just got shau valley and i have to send you there. they sent me to this location. it was probably the worst in vietnam at that time. katie lamar jackson: and the location was the problem, correct? not only was it remote, but it was surrounded by hills and it was hard to defend. bennie adkins: absolutely. a mountainous country. .ll types of insects, reptiles the major infiltration route for in north vietnamese moving to the south the enemy's country. katie lamar jackson: if i recall, it was also understaffed, even when you got there. bennie adkins: it was the indigenousd there.did want to be we found out at a later tim

i was thought of as bit lazy. if i was interested in something, i would generally excel. but i was interested in was the vietnam war, there was an uprising of students taking place. i started to start a magazine to campaign against the things i thought were wrong with the the enemy's war. -- the vietnamese war. david: this was 15 years old? you drop out of school at 15 years old to start the magazine. you get prominent interviews, like some from mick jagger. was it hard to get an interview with mick jagger when you are 15 years old? richard: in some ways, if you are 15 years old, you have a better chance of getting interviews with people than if you are 30 or 40 or 50. i would just turn up at people's houses. because i was young and enthusiastic, they generally took pity on me. david: you decided to start a record company. where did you get that idea from, and where does the name virgin come from? why not branson? richard: i was 15 years old, 16 years old, we were sitting in the basement with a bunch of girls. we were throwing out ideas. we got down to either slipped disc

i was starving when i was young. i think for me hunger was just never hunger. it meant death, that it was daily life for me, that when you're hungry, not just you are hungry. it is directly related to your life, your entire existence. to this day i have some obsession that a get panic attack. i know i don't have food in the. it scare for me to even go camping. when they eat late at night, i will eat as much as i can, even though it makes me sick because i know when i was young i did not know when it's going to have more food it again. i eat as much as they can for survivor. so that's i think different, i have come relations i have come food is different than most people i think or like my friends. >> host: you also write in your book that you needed special permission to eat beef in north korea. >> guest: yes. north korea, we know it is the darkest place on earth. we don't have electricity, automobiles for anything to work in the farm. individuals cannot own things socially and we don't own house or anything. it's all owned by the state. so cows belong to state

it was so large. i mean, everybody pretty much was together, but it was a good opportunity to have that voice at the table because it was totally different than the other voices that had been at the table before. there was a lot of back-and-forth and give-and-take in those leadership meetings. it was an interesting is. . experience. host: what were the challenges that you faced? rep. myrick: well, the challenges were trying to communicate to leadership exactly what the class thought, wanted to see done. and a lot of times, you know, there were people in the c lass who would day, you are not doing it right. you are not strong enough or not communicating. they were basically supported. we had a good group. the class president is now in the senate. we had good people, and basically, everybody was -- it was a cohesive class partly because we were thrown together the way we were. so quickly. there were a lot of women, which was nice. dwindled over time dramatically. class, you were one of 8 new republican wo

what it was about? >> i believe that was part of it.l of white identity or white history. both sides think they were right. both sides had points. valid points that they were trying to make. >> but somebody died because of those actions. and because of that rally and it doesn't matter to me who's side they are on. innocent people should not die. >> this may come across the wrong way to certain people, i think if we were separated, we would not have these issues. just throwing everyone together and blending them together and saying, hey, get along. obviously that is not working. the people that want to be living together in harm any and unity and whatever should be allowed to do that. but the people who don't, is should be able to do their own thing as well. >> what would you do if given that choice? >> hm-mm. you know, i can't really say. that's something that i would have to really think on. if i had to make a split second decision on it, i would have to go with the separatists. >> gabe can't imagine a world where different races co-ex

and i was like, i gotta -- i was like, "oh, my god, she's on tv." i was like, "hey!", i'm on tv every night. >> seth: yeah. >> but i got so excited that this lady was on tv. >> seth: yeah, this really speaks to your sense of ego that you thought you saw. >> i know. >> seth: you were like, "ooh, a little extra day time hype." >> yeah, yeah. i was like, "i'm not on wcbs." i'm on fox. i'm on bravo. yeah. >> seth: well, here's a little -- 'cause she was very angry. but i will say she was very excited to see you. >> she came around. >> seth: let's take a look. >> caught and arrested last night. taken into federal custody this afternoon. [ light laughter ] law enforcement sources are still searching for that third accomplice. oh, it's andy cohen! [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> we made up. we made up. >> seth: yeah. >> and then somehow, i don't know if she posted it and then i -- i called anderson actually. i go, "you'll never believe what i just --" he was so pissed at me. >> seth: yeah. >> it was very upsetting. i was like, "it was funny and she liked it in the en

a i was, like, i have to date her. [laughter] d and, you know, it was -- it took me a long time to find out who she was. she had just moved to the area. i heard she'd been in a motorcycle accident, and that was not i true. finally, i, you know, got herfi number and called, and we had -- we went to lunch, because luncho is easy. if it's not working out, you're out of there in an hour. we went to the h old nathan's in georgetown, and we sat at a booth, and we were will there for three hours. andth i remember before i met b, i had a friend of mine, michelle, a lawyer i work with, and i walked in my brief case and had, like, nine ties in the briefcase, which one do you think, you know? because i want to make a good impression. to michelle for the tie i picked that day.mp we hit it off, and is we dated for a couple of years, and we just celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary yesterday. >> host: congratulations. and you have two kids. what did theyy end up doing with their lives? >> guest: our daughter is totally in the not f

i knew was it was go time. i spent hours and hours almost 24 hours trying to get to this world cup after training for the last few months and preparing for this world cup. i would get there in the morning of i would wake up after going to sleep relatively early, having a great-- eating well, getting a good night sleep and i would wake up really tired and i would get to the fencing hall, to the venue and i would be so tired and i couldn't explain the fatigue like i couldn't understand why when i got on the strip my feet felt like a lead and i could not move or lunch or do anything i was losing in the first round. this is that like baby trying to make the national team. this is like number six, seven in the world and i couldn't figure out why going out in the first round of competition and it just so happened-- i don't remember why we had a team psychologist all of a sudden. i know that i personally was dealing-- we had just won a world championship and not felt like a lot of pressure. will champion on the strip a

i was nervous. i was still i think a little angry.ome this far, we might as well just keep going until the wheels fall off. >> reporter: tense, nervous, janet decides she should go in first. as you walked up to her doorstep that day, what's going on in your head? >> all i kept telling myself was please let her tell the truth. >> reporter: cece more goes with her. janet is finally sitting at the table with the woman who may have the answers to a lifetime of questions. cece is thankfully there to break the ice. >> i've been working with janet. there was a man named adrian, your sister's son, and he came out as janet and dean and julie's first cousin. >> oh, yeah. >> so that leads us back to you. >> yeah. >> reporter: after more than three decades of harboring a dark secret, joann can hold it in no longer. >> well, okay. i have something to say. i -- today i decided i'd better come clean. i've been living with the guilt for so long. it's just a secret i've been carrying all these years, you know? and it's probably mind-boggling, but yeah

i was, i was. i was very shy., getting over my shyness was really, uh-- that was really important for me to be able to... face my fears and be brave in all sorts of situations in my life after that. i think it really set me up for quite an exciting, bold life. it's an odd thing that somebody who is shy by nature and not particularly trusting goes from that to "playboy." seems like there's a middle ground before you get to "playboy." no, middle ground, no. ( chuckles ) no. hugh hefner: she has certainly never forgotten her roots. no one in the history of "playboy" are more outspoken in terms of crediting "playboy" for their success. and i think that's a reflection of who she is. and she's one of my dearest friends, and i think, you know, "playboy" and the mansion are her other home. harvey: you become extremely famous from "playboy." it is still an audacious thing for somebody who, you know, goes from being a model for "playboy" to acting. well, i just-- i was asked to do a lot of different shows like "married with

>> well, i was having lots of them. i mean there was no end.io. we were writing, and i was like, "ugh!" !"was like, "i can't breat and they were like, "we're going to write this song," and i was like, "okay, i still can't breathe, but we'll write it.". >> jimmy: ye so you end up writing this song. >> yeah, we made this song. i can kind of breathe now.. so it was go progress. >> jimmy: it's a fun -- it's a fun song, though. it turned into a like poppy, good -- >> yeah, we made a pop song -- >> jimmy: yeah, here it is, "breathin." st -- out of it. >> jimmy: first of this. here we go.

that i ever found out what i was. i write i don't think he was overtly parent hiding but a highly suspicious he didn't trust the government. and gone through a police raid i guess of the black panthers in oakland and was walkin the far left wing side during or leading up to the war so he had some real concrete reasons to not be the term special in terms of the good of the government still and i had a poster at one time that said just because i'm paranoid doesn't mean you are not out to get me. and it in a sense it's quite true. or were pretty sure that. my house broken into my files were being opened my papers were still are safe i see are very far out if i see my own yard. except that in the house when i check the storage drums of the hollow scanners i'll pretty well know pretty soon what everyone in my house is doing and when they do it and probably even why myself included i would wash all the rooms on a twenty four hour things. make sure they don't have a closer to t.v. surveillance or to find cameras are usually l

i was disconnected. when i left the black panther party was at the center of activism. coming back, i was totally disconnected from that and confused. i have four children and one on the way at that point. i was totally disconnected. the vision cap may connected. people in the community would stop me a say you're not with the panthers, what are you going to do? there was that kind of drive after leaving the panther party, the confusion and grounding myself in the work in the jails help me clear up or i was. granting myself in the work of the bookstore helped ground me. it helped save me. >> is that book program for the jails still available? >> no. it did not last that long either. that original idea ran into two forms of opposition that crippled the idea. sometimes it goes back any wonder didn't hold up. but inside it was some good things that we can build off of. the fact that were looking in our 40th year to build off of. iran into two things that were stopping. one, the state of maryland through a blockade to the free literature that we were given to the jails. thes

and it was like you know in english i simply heard it was the end of a news report and the sentence i heard was mr gorbachev was the president of the former soviet union. and i didn't hear you know that there was a former soviet union i got into the force there was still the soviet union times way to say what it was and then he twirled the knobs again i don't go back go back but then i thought they were the news program was over it was something else like an outlook or some stupid program like that. and so i didn't know i didn't hear from like another hour and then i and then they didn't refer to because it was something that happened already it was a while ago so there wasn't like any news item about it. became clear to me that you know the soviet union didn't exist. that i am name i am coming up who will cook them became buckling out and it might have been a companion the guy yeah i don't mind on one visit the number collegiate given to boca and elected an imbecile is a baby mccarty back to him why only one. bum up money and. i acted like a gamble talking about the bucket of faith.

cooking i ran in and out and by the time i was back it was burnt what was i to do. ell so this law muscle with my. sides but there was time before my husband came home and i didn't want to put it any way you could see it so i dug a hole and started over it refers to cook but. i never want to leave the little that don't just run around and then this dog brought my husband a piece of meat i had buried them at the ply hole in the draft and sticks it before we'll see. as if i'm right and wrong and you can't hide anything from my husband not even now he always finds things out by chalons. it's hard to surprise my father so he has all the more fun surprising others at school he stuck in sex down my mother's blouse as a father he had little time for practical jokes we children came along quickly and both my parents worked hard to build a life for themselves. this is. after he still put up this carriage in eighty nine we had already sent in our papers but we didn't take it very seriously we didn't think we'd actually get to leave. the theater up together after a ball we sent
