i was still able to go. they gave me the opportunity to go, and hofstra university had a basketball team. it was called the rolling dutchman. i grew up wanting to play for the new york yankees, you know, little league and basketball and football and wiffleball. if you came from new york, who were heavily into sports. we were in our neighborhood, and the yankees and mickey mantle and roger barris, i mean, all these dreams of being an athletic hero. i was very strong, very athletic. i was gymnastic in high school. even before i join the rolling dutchman, the wheelchair basketball team, which was quite an experience for me, i used to shoot baskets when i would have some time. there was a court just at the v.a. just down the flow hilda solis basketball court. i would go agenda by myself for hours, two, three hours and i would just shoot and i loved it. i loved it and it did that by myself intel i found out that they had this organized wheelchair basketball team at the university, and i decided to join. what led m

i was painted as a racist but what did i do that was racist? id in a plinth of my british flag and defended the war memorial. no racist words left my mouth. that's what it takes to defend a war memorial so be it. i don't like it and i still don't but i've not done nothing in any which way that is racist. so what happens when two different people who took a stand come together? did you know that she was coming down before you we nt that she was coming down before you went there? no. that is what i thought. i got a phone call from someone thought. i got a phone call from someone saying they are pulling it down, they are pulling it down. did you know about the statue before hand ? i have you know about the statue beforehand? i have always known about it. i never knew about it. i never knew he was. i never knew coast and tower was called that of him anything. i never knew what he had done so when it was done i thought why are they throwing statues down? no one cares about a slave trader i don't. which is how things went about and it was dry to the s

i was very lucky. i discovered a non-profit in the reentry space called the five ventures in new york where i got a job and eventually became its director there. it was enormously satisfying work to me. it was good for my soul. the truth be told, if i had to assess as a business person the way i used to look at things, if i had to assess the impact we were having, if i were being honest with myself, i would have to admit that it was nowhere near what i hoped to ever achieve. with all of these wonderful people that have come before you, looking to get involved with the council, it's clear to me that the problems that exist with reentry in general and criminal justice in a broader sense, it is not because there is a lack of quality people, passionate people, smart, educated people who want to be involved and who indeed are involved. i don't believe that's the problem. i believe the problem is the approach that's been taken historically does not work. that may not be something ladies and gentlemen that you

, because i was on democracy now! during the election coverage, and trying to come to terms with the fact that donald trump was going to win while being on air. it was like of course this happen. it would look at american history we know that every moment of progress, no matter how miniscule, have nine, like whatever it is, there's always a backlash come there's always retrenchment. the ideologies that a been inscribed in the founding always find a way to reassert themselves. and so we went through eight years of first black president, and there's so many things we can talk about with regards to that. i critique it the entire time i lived through it and i critique obama as a public figure and political figure and all those things. for all the limitations of the first black presidency, it did represent something that, for many, was the form of progress, was saying like there's new possibilities available to people before a large section of the country, especially agreed white van he believed america to be the birthright

i was funny. and i said. the 1st time i saw it coming it was actually supposed to be a rock performance we him and his brother. as they were performing on stage the crowd because my university a very vocal crowd they were not just enjoying the rap so much at the time like somebody in the crowd just trash talking them and i remember you know picking on the guy like you do or you can chop struck me because he was with them like just a trust look at this guy and then from that point everyone just a laughing like everybody. he just he just stopped the music the music just to pretty much stop of all of that he was now at the start of committee thing and it just might have been this guy and someone a guy would you know to something that in the end he would look at the other guy yeah i was so funny even the guy that we mean truckstop would laughing really all over the place when i saw that performance of i didn't you know does this way should be like just dog and everybody on the compost. after night after he just b

and, i was very excited of course. t on stage takes many whispers in my ear and said i miss hearing your show. you can listen to it any time pray but it's nice that we are both because we are both from chicago. but you know we are both pretty said yes we are, it is so good to see you. and he gave his speech free when it came back onstage to cut a wrap up is when i said, wait a second, this is a moment in history, what just happened her here. and as journalists, we have to hold politicians accountable. i don't care if i am in the gala, i am all up and i just introduced him. he gave me an amazing dip hug it was beautiful. i have to hold him accountable. and so i said, remember president barack obama, there is no such thing as an illegal human being. we do not read use these terms. as a political moment. not everybody started because it was a moment answering back for hvac it was a party. civic and by the way, could we talk about this? i think you are right, josÉ, part of what we are getting at is that as journalists in ma

i knew what i was doing. called dropping or throwing shade. >> can you give us a question? >> don't be -- >> give us a question. >> when you report fake news, which cnn does a lot, you are the enemy of the people. go ahead. >> mr. president -- >> thank you. it's nice to be here. >> is there hope for the journalism. >> i think there's a lot of people doing a lot of great work, but it doesn't help when the president of the united states calls journalists fake news and the enemy of the people. i think that's really dangerous. i think our president is causing grave damage to the institution of the free press. [ applause ] >> i want to ask you as a photojournalist your comment that photographing is to the truth. when you're the chief white house photographer, when you're consciously or subconsciously building a public image of brand obama, was there a conflict? >> yeah, i think that's a good question. i often say to people, though my background is as a photojournalist, certainly when you're the chief white house ph

my god right that i. was. i knew both demand for a doctoral thesis to a i that's not since you know the folks in the make the world as i know advice was all funding stock all storm for the stomach was formed under a cult is all that's on the board was the device awesome since i was sick on the jews and they spoke of pressure on us from the off one attack via who made 3 of us look like amateurs stallman's and it's people here until i was on this ng for talking to the level well i wasn't there to scout but i noticed she leans much here stomach's the lines in something this skinny guy i left photos of things for these little things you know and i thought about now ok he's got talent to lengthen it's always hard to judge the pace is that that in i think she believed in were 2nd division back then once he got through that's why they need to rethink but he stood out to me and i thought we should check him out then who come once a month. my theory is that i am here to talk to detention after having in the winter in tr

i was down but i was not out. i once was a seed. i was covered in lasers of problems. ssive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, social difficulties and loneliness. i wanted so badly to break through and soak in the sun. but it was not yet my time. so i waited. and just like the seed, when the right elements came into play, i had my breakthrough. i was at a facility since i was 15 to help manage my self-injurious behaviors and impulsivity. some places were all right. most warrant. warrant -- were not. i got worse instead of better until life had just about devoured me. then i moved to a new facility in florida. i was replanted in a place where i was allowed to grow. i surrounded myself in music and taught myself new skills. like how to create a video diagram -- a vlog, like a video diary. if there is one thing i know is true we all learn in unique , ways. watching myself on camera made me painfully aware that i wanted to fix my face. i only had one expression. no wonder why people always thought i was mad. so i worked on different faces. now i am a comedian. then i wanted to m

and when i was doing this, i felt like i was smart. been a while since i felt like i was good at anything. young black and poor are recognised as risky instead of vulnerable. before you know it, you're in the throes. it's hard, i've been stabbed, like, five times. one minute, you're this innocent, you know, can't harm anybody, they're just playing football. the next minute, you know, you're this potential criminal. society has a very strange way of reacting to people who are in trouble. so, something is not right. we cannot keep on doing the same things and expect a different result. we have to make a change. what does the roads do? the roads kill you. they make sure you go to jail for life. the roads makes sure your future gets cut short. the roads steals your dreams and ambitions. people, like, outside would call us a gang or whatever, but we're just a group of lads that went to the same school, we're from the same area. they're, like, my friends that i grew up with. these people were similar to me. i could relate to them more. so, i

want -- i tried while i was director but i still was limited in terms of what i could say at that time -- i wanted in this memoir to put the affects on the table that the -- the fact that the computers computers the sens using were cia computer and we had the obligation to determine whether or not there was a vulnerability in that system that allowed the senate staffers to access a document that they were not authorized to have. and so when our security and -- specialists were trying to understand how that document got to those computerses that the senate was using, there was a mistake made that a couple of internal message that the staffers were sending to one another were accessioned by cia officers. that was wrong. and that is why i apologizeed to dianne feinstein and chambliss, the leaders of the senate intelligence committee that the cia did something wrong. did we spy on them? now. did we have an obligation to carry out the security review? absolutely. i wanted do this as a joint review with the senate committee, but because of i believe the senate staffer's conc

and i was giving him what i thought he was. maybe he was testing me like i was testing him. to see if i would give him an honest answer, and i would. >> you didn't fly all the way out here just to ask me some questions. >> well, actually, i did. did you do anything to her? >> no. >> did you hurt her? >> no. we never touched. >> at all? >> not even a hug. and i usually hug people. >> reporter: gurule questioned him for more than three hours. but travis stuck to his original story. >> so does she have sex with you? >> nash, i think at this point, i -- i -- my lawyer should be present. >> reporter: so travis refused to talk anymore. but he didn't have a choice about providing his dna. thanks to that warrant detective gurule brought from colorado. >> i'm going to swab the inside of your nose. >> reporter: and though a stolen car charge seemed hardly enough to warrant extradition, it was in the end just enough. and a few weeks later travis was back in a colorado jail. >> i didn't want him in texas. i wanted him here. i wanted to have

it was hopeless i didn't know what to expect they said i was going to the psychiatric ward. you bet that man that cameron that's you and cameron yes i met him and we were always terrified of him why we also fear we all had a fear of him and we didn't want to him to notice us because whatever he did it would never there was a pace and put them the patient was always screaming these are the days and i was obviously a professor ewen cameron was a very famous psychiatry as t. was head of the american psychiatric association and the world psychiatric association he was the top of the field at the same time he seemed pretty much willing to do anything and the for the cia to find a doctor who didn't have limits in a nearby capital with lots of patients to work with lost as as subjects was somebody they were interested in supporting patients would come then. with ordinary and psychological emotional problems they'd sign their waivers and they would just object to this bizarre urgency of extreme sensory deprivation and isolation for for up to a month. one of his favorite things was he

it was a big scandal. ire with the tower commission after this many month investigation had concluded that, in fact, reagan had sold arms for hostages. and you see that look on reagan's face. he was still somewhat in denial. but to me it really defines that whole scandal and how impactful it was on his presidency. i did not necessarily agree with some of the things that president reagan was doing. for example, how long it took him to come to grips with a.i.d.s. i think that, in retrospect, is more than disappointing. but this photo i made of him holding a baby with hiv did help destigmatize the disease. i was naive and not as politically aware as i should have been at the time but i did feel that he was a decent human being. he respected other people from all walks of life. >> when reagan had passed away, and his body was being flown to the west coast, nancy reagan requested that pete would be on the plane with them. and of course he had been out of the white house for so many years and pete did that. ♪ ♪ >>

i know we all have places to get to. there wasa question in the chat asking if you're adjusted in giving talks at the university send an e-mail and i will forward it on to you. e-mail me and i will pass it on to lisa. thank you. this was fascinating, it's been a wonderful time. thank you, everyone for being here in the audience is evening. we will be back here tomorrow night for a book on the future of america. who knows what is? come on back and we will see you then. thank you, everyone for being. >> a look at books being published this week. former cia director, john berlin reflects on his career. former devil got a presidential candidate and mayor of south bend, indiana, pete buttigieg, trust in each other two. margaret mcmillan impacts in our lives. also being published this week, political commentator arguing attacking president trump with the strength of angles. the trump presidency through 150 books, written about the president over the past four years, what were we thinking? a dual biography of abolitionist, john brown and

i was 16. my parents allowed me to enter the full-time service that i had already been participating in, and to take courses outside of the school system and finally pass a ged test in order to get a diploma. >> we saw in the play earlier today about some of the persecution's that jehovah's witnesses incurred because they were also registered as conscientious objectors during the time of the war. clearly, this is the winds of war and wartime period. how did that impact your family? >> pretty much ... i had an older brother who was a draft age and had to serve time in prison for his conscientious objection. the brother next to him never had to go to prison, but he was brought before the board or court, in order to state his objection. he got a four amp classification because of his help. but my older brother did have to go. >> let me ask a question. i don't know if you've been ever asked this, but billy, was he subjected to ... what did he do? >> i'm not aware what he did during that time. that h

and i was. >> if you had questions. make sure to put him in the chat and we will get to them. >> what was your biggest preconceived notion about the south generally. did you make a distinctions. or was it all to you just south of new york. from maryland going on down is a south. i have never been to the deep south in that way. i've been to florida and georgia. the south to me timmy is a rich cultural eating. it was like a shadow. what of what was passed on to me. this is something i sent you over text. why did you come back. if you see a white person. who looks presumably bed. i don't think i am done with new york yet. for example. i had had dreams of having a second home where they like a writers residency out of it. it has been the family 5070 years. there are things that are happening right now. i see this in the book. did it make you see more black harlem's in new york city. when you meet black people they've got you in a way. a little bit more scattered. so many black chicagoans. even if were not there. if there are

i was only about, oh, i would venture 25 years of age. it was in the spring of 1968 -- 1768. and i remembered that you are quite a devotee of the theater. mr. washington: i am. and i did attend theater in the old capital. i must confess to you that at this age i am actually chockablock and i do not actually remember meeting you at one of those nights, but it is possible. mr. jefferson: i was hardly dry behind the ears in those early years, general. mr. washington: like i said, you are younger than myself. [laughter] >> speaking of the virginia house of burgesses, when you are both members in the years leading up to the american revolution, what were some of the issues that arose and how did they lead to america's break with england? mr. washington: well, if you will allow me, i shall begin and then let you convey the substance of it. you are correct, we both did serve in the house of burgesses, although i started in 1756, a few years earlier. if you will allow an old man to recollect, because when one's hair turns white that is what one does. i remember a story that was relate

met mike ryan in a 12 step program that i was in. he didn't have a place to stay and let him stay on the couch in my apartment and he basically stopped paying any rent you know worked up my courage and i got a job to go it's time to kick your sorry so i started like taking some of the stuff off the shelves and putting them in the boxes he grabbed me and put me into the bathroom door jam and held a knife to my throat and said if you ever touch my kid. was gone and i thought. god is gone my mom told my dad day before the murder that my grandad been there that day looking for money looking for food looking for you know we know it in our hearts identify my grandchild mom this is a this is the letter this card writes to monsoon after he's arrested he's behind bars just dear sir i'm sure that up by this point it has become apparent to you that i am not the murder and this is very true to my ride as a potential suspect when monsoon went to find ryan to interview him he tracked him down in a jail in mississippi where i think he was arrested f

said whatever was needed i with them because it was not about me at that point. there was a missing pregnant woman. >> true. >> i had been having a relationship with her husband unknowingly he was married. >> we wanted to start recording calls. >> amber agreed and went out to buy a portable recorder. what do you know? >> soon as i plug in the recorder and showing her to press the red and the black, the phone rings. >> he called. are you there? i could barely hear you. >> they were just like i can't believe he is calling right now. >> outside of normandy right now. >> i was shaking uncontrollably. my fingers were just a sweaty mess. i was fumbling. i was so nervous and scared. >> for the next eight days scott peterson pretended he was traveling in europe. the cops, they kept looking bringing dogs to berkeley, divers to the bay and laci's friends held the vigil and prayed and all the while amber secretly recorded her conversations with scott, inwardly trembling. >> i was shaking and trying to catch my breath and

it just gets to me and then i feel an obligation i was hoping when i retire in january, 2017 i was going to be able to write off the sunset. i cannot remain silent when donald trump denigrates the community and members of the fbi and these professions and continues to receive the american public about reality. it's disappointing and surprising that not more people move from the administration's and have spoken up or spoken out. i think it's important to call donald trump out for it's hard to imagine mike pompeo, the successor relying on you for advice, but it's easier to imagine the current director having a sort of relationship with you but it seems you write in the book you indicate that to a certain extent the director has had to keep you at a distance because of your role as a fighter with the president in the political sphere. what is the cost of your political activism calling it out? as that stopped you from offering sort of private advice without a trade-off worth making? >> i know the white house announced they were revoking my security clearances back in 18. i still have my sec

but you know i thought it was funny when i was young and it was all my friends were very funny and i realized that love was actually a gift so i was just blessed with such people you know. that have realized i was the truth and was. such a. minor injury as my home and enjoyed my joy paying my log and enjoys me i am an engineer. i only fact. all the. experts it's funny the way i'd like to. my name is a place where this is can truly call it down home. you have to plan for spring you know the ones you mean chill ones you know you all ends up with money managerial resilience and it is just for a surprising findings here yes. yes to everything all. my nigeria. on al-jazeera. the e.u. has suggested that it is willing to go to extreme and i'm reasonable if it's simply to exert leverage against the u.k. in on the go stations for free trade agreements with no deal on the cards is it game over to britain and the e.u. finally breaks it announces iraq the river nile is a vital source of substance to the countries that flows through this no single who can lay claim to be a different god given the

and i was like, no way. i knew exactly who it was. t i just couldn't believe it. >> reporter: robert washburn. he was the guy who phoned in a tip about michella's murder. he was never a suspect. on her short list, only because of that genealogy analysis. >> why did washburn's name end up on the list to be tested for dna? >> because of his last name? >> just the last name. >> he was in that list that was sent to you. >> correct. >> at the time, it seemed like a coincidence. a fluke. but, now, here it was. no doubt. robert washburn's dna on jenni bastian's swimsuit. it was head-spinning. >> and the funny thing is he was not a high-priority suspect. >> he certainly had not acted like one. they learned after the murder and rape of jenni bastian, he moved to illinois, got a job, paid his taxes, stayed out of trouble. in fact, when investigators came knocking at his door, he voluntarily gave them a dna sample. now, more than three decades after that terrible day in the park, washburn was arrested at home. and then, the new cold case detectiv

i was scared you know i didn't want him to get sick he was scared he was scared i know he was because he would tell me in heels i don't know if i can deal with this any any longer you know. but i have to do it because all the officers are falling down there they're not coming back to work they were getting sick they were getting sick gilbert was around it so much you know that he also drove the end mates to the hospital that had cove it so i mean he was close up front you know he started coughing and he thought it was just exhaustion of him going to work so he working a lot. because there was no one to fill in those spots. i think it was the 2nd day after he tested positive where he was not doing well he said that's it i can't i can't breathe. sergeant along go went to the emergency room on july 3rd now that his ill the you know then mates have been telling officers what they're feeling and saying prayers to him and our family which says a law it's it's it's a lot you know speaks volumes we were on a video they were sedating him and getting him prepared to be on the ventilator we were

i was coming out. after. i was out i was and there are an alcoholic. karajan there right. now was the focus. on the. list of the lives that many of us live where you need to feel physically nothing delicate ground 0 was there but. little was told that. there was no. live. the lucky. her. oh i'm told. we need. another. minute with you. but. i'm not going to. understand why the. think. it. says it a lot so it. says to talk to you on some. accord yes follow but not. one day. at home i'm constantly very sheltered by my parents and my grandma and my great aunt and even my brother and so it is very difficult for me to practice independent living because they're always there and i understand that they are always doing these things because they care about me but i do need to eventually figure out how to do everything on my own. i get caught. up sad when i have trouble with honestly all i have stuck because i'm not good at practicing like i don't like practicing i will be the 1st to admit that. i knew like that you know reality would touch of eventually i would need to have these sk

i get to name it. and we found out and he was like, you said i get to name him and it was like, oh, yes, i did say thaton will have on to live with for the rest of his life. >> i of course came with my scroll of names. i was like let's go through my list and my boyfriend was playing very hard to get with me about the names. i was like, we are having a baby, you can tell me what you want to name the baby. and he was very tight lipped and he did finally, he came up with a winner that was really good. all of mine got vetoed for various reasons which i was upset about. >> is the baby named veto. >> the baby's name is veto. >> you have come up with a baby name and coined a new term with holidate this roman kick comedy you are in. what is a holdidate? >> it's the thing you need most around the holidays. which is a datie itthat is not romantic so everyone will stop asking you about your personal life or romantic life. so basically it's something, it can be a friend or somebody you hire or whoever, to just like go around to parties with you so your family won't try to set you up with everyone in sight or make

but then i was -- the debate was insane. at you say to your wife, why did you invite him? [ laughter ] i mean, it's like -- you know, the comparison between the two of them, the squinty -- that squinty thing that he does. >> jimmy: yes. >> under the leadership of president trump we've lost 210,000 people. isn't that something? >> jimmy: yeah. >> it's like -- and he's -- if he was a rapper, i think his name would be notorious b.i.g.o.t. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: if he was a rapper -- >> yeah. i mean, to this guy "roots" was like a romantic comedy. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you're not part of team pence. i thought for sure you'd be on -- >> i was for a while but then the empty box video that you showed just threw me. i've had a hard last couple of days. >> jimmy: why have you had a hard couple of days? >> well, first of all, i've been in this house since march. >> jimmy: right. >> and now, you know, it's like my alexa is acting up. so i say to her every morning, alexa, would you play this song? and now she says to me two days ago, "n

i was wrong. >> stephen: "i was wrong." only three-word combinations you're less likely to hear from trump are "finish my fries," "too many nazis," and "i love vegetables." when the truth came out about his m.s., bartlett was clear that he didn't want anyone to lie on his behalf. >> if you lie to protect me, if you lie just once, if you lie just a little, if you lie 'cause you can't stand what's happening to me and the people making it happen, if you ever, ever lie, you're finished with me. you understand? >> stephen: trump's version is a little bit different. ( as trump ) "if you lie to protect me, if you lie just once, if you lie just a little... that's not lying enough. you keep that lie choo choo a-chuggin', and i'll pick you up at pardon junction. woo-woo!" it might be unfair to compare the two presidents, but it's kind of fun. for example, when trump gets angry, he tweets from the toilet. when bartlett got angry, he castigated god in latin. >> ( speaking latin ) >> stephen: to which god responded, "take it down a notc

that's how old i am. it was the tape. so you fast forwarded it? >> you just have to flip around and fast forward. >> jimmy: i used to do that. that's such a great reference. >> the best. and they just blew my mind, man. i mean, i'm still such a huge fan of ad rock and -- and they just -- i was like what is going on in the world outside of suburban texas? and spike jonze is one of my favorite filmmakers, so it was just like that meme of eating popcorn. like, i couldn't get enough. it could have gone on for two more hours >> jimmy: i love those guys so much >> me, too >> jimmy: i read somewhere that you used to write songs to them when you were a little kid do -- do you remember doing this >> this is so humbling i -- i started writing poetry when i was seven or eight. >> jimmy: wow. >> and my first poem was called "kingdoms in conflict. it started with some light subject matter there just keeping it light. >> jimmy: seven years old. kingdoms in conflict >> and my older brother actually found it which, for me, was like obvio

dream was planted. wonder if iould do that some day. so very interesting family background. >> absolutely. you're part of the chapter of the book is found the most moving was the story about your relationship with your brother michael and you talked about his battle with cancer it and clearly had an impact on your life and -- >> changed my life. >> a beautiful story of love, a brotherly love, both your brothers -- you and your other brother in the night, on the floor, as he was suffering with this dread disease. can you share some insights into that? >> yeah. again, it truly was one of those events that takes flays a person's life that changes who they and are what they do with their life. i can remember -- i remember one conversation with mike. you remember the movie came out called "god" and john denver played the role? >> i remember. >> michael was all kinds of -- dealing with incredible pain but through that pain we would sit there and we would discuss the meaning and purpose of life, what am i supposed to be d

it was phenomenal. ilways remember cake and ice cream at the birthdays. >> growing up he was inseparable from his mom. was she like your other friend's moms? >> no, she was on the conservative side. >> reporter: she was born in egypt and came to the u.s. when she was 29 years old. her family settled in northern california. she led a comfortable, all-american life. but cultural ties are strong and in 1980, she was called back to egypt to meet a nice young man named magdy. >> when my mom went out there and ended up meeting him, she really liked him. >> years later she would reminisce about how their romance would blauszm. >> in egypt, you can't go out n ondates and stuff. they went to a movie theater and my dad kissed her on the cheek. >> which was a big deal? >> for her t was. i think it sealed the deal. >> they married just two weeks later in egypt and moved together to california. in 1981 richard was born. five years later came ryan. richard was delighted to have brother to play with and watch over. >> s

i know that. he was the greatest. >> jimmy: how was that whole thing? >> it was crazy! it was -- he is a doll he is such a joy and his main thing was that he wanted us to just see the movie before we -- like just so that we knew. we flew to london and we watched the movie, which was, you know, like a rough cut, i guess, a year ago-ish, under a a year and then we worked with him for a week-ish >> had an orchestra and it was amazing. >> it was really amazing >> he is so cool >> yeah. >> jimmy: and how fun is that? how does it work with orchestra? like can you change things or they know what's already written and they say, we are doing this >> that's a good question and i would have thought that you could not change stuff once it's written but all day, hanz, stephen lipson, who produced it with us, and we would lean in and we'd go like, can we have them try something spookier here, and they would go to the orchestra and say, do this and they would change in real time >> it was crazy. >> like all 70 people.

it was completely surreal and kind of wonderful. ipartner asleep next to me. it actually —— 1am, you got to see into people's rooms and it was wonderful. they kept the backstage cameras on and we we re the backstage cameras on and we were on my feet so it kept going between them. so that was bradley whitford checking how he looks in that chair, jennifer aniston going between places. you could see things happening offspring that went get on screen and i felt very privileged, to be somehow a pa rt privileged, to be somehow a part of this vip —— off screen, this surreal backstage zoom lounge. it was great to be in the live room beforehand. you have to speak together in a way we normally wouldn't. we got to share admiration for others' work. it was a much better than i expected and i loved that they brought real people into present those awards. i am sad that it has taken something like this to make that difference but it is great as an industry to recognise your audience. and for that arts community, what do you think is on the horizon,

remember when i was president of the senate. didn't you do a tie breaking vote at one point. >> we are just about at a time. i had one final question. we talked a lot about the history of these men in your question mister vice president talking about contemporary politics. what he think is a one or two lessons that that virginia dynasty could take to guide our politics moving forward. jefferson was smart in a flighty way. he looked like other people. how do i succeed. in a way that he did. washington had natural intellect. it helped make them successful. i do have more question. a late arrival. what do you think about the musical hamilton in the way that members of the dynasty are remembered. >> i loved hamilton. when it was still off-broadway i have heard about how it was. i got the ticket and have the hardest time in the world persuading him to go to the musical. i thought washington was humorously done. madison was the one i found most disappointing. i know they were trying to look like the fellas. that seems so far. thank you

and i was like, what yes! elizabeth cady stanton, susan b. ruth together wait, what look, i love that there's a monument, but these three hanging out? what are they having a conversation about hey, let's plan a women's march. yay! but sojourner, you're going to have to walk in the back ♪ that's how it really went down ♪ and then trump said that a vaccine might be available right before the election, and i was like, what that seems like awfully suspicious timing. also, no one trusts the guy who just a little bit ago was like, hm, drink bleach look, i'm sorry but i wouldn't trust trump to give me a cookie, let alone a needle of something. then for some reason, trump decided to hold a town hall and i was like, what would you do that for no one likes you then i saw that black people were there and i was like, what? he's going to get it then while this lady was asking a question, trump interrupted >> please stop and let me finish my question, sir >> and i was like, what? whoo then herman cain tweeted from the dead and i was like, what? then i saw s

while it was happening i wanted to vomit but as soon it was over and i saw all the commentary which wasompletely appalled by donald trump, i began to feel a certain elation as we had just watch him. for three or four years now we have been thinking he's done it now there's no way to recover from this and we have always been wrong. i don't know, i remain optimistic. >> he is certainly given you a lot of material. >> in december and january of last year when we were talking about what this book should be i said you know, this is bad. this book has to be tough and dark. he's now behaving like a king. why don't i make up an opening poem and make that the title of the book. look how precious that was, not to congratulate myself but that is how he's operating now more than ever. i wrote that lighthearted problem back in january. it's taken on such dark meanings when i say for example court years installed in his own supreme court and royal beheadings if only for sport that's a much better line now than it was eight months ago. >> i think you were going to read another problem for us. >> yes,

he asked me what i was working on i told him i'm working on this new album dedicated to detroit he wasnly had a few days left to record, and he was like, "i'll do the story for you, but let me hear some of the music. so when i played him the music, he -- you know, he stood up sometimes and was clapping for me he was like, "this is, like, some of the music that i've been waiting for, man. he was like, "i'm excited for you. i'm happy. like, how can i be a part of it?" and i was even thinking about pushing my album date back, but i had already announced it and then i was like, you know, for the work -- if we do happen to do work together, me and stevie, i don't want to rush that you know, so - >> jimmy: no you got to do it the right way >> yeah, you got to do it the right way. so he told a story, and it meant everything to me it's surreal he's like the g.o.a.t., you know >> jimmy: "detroit 2" is the name of the album. >> yes >> jimmy: and this is kind of obviously you're from detroit, but also was it your first mixed tape was that 2012? >> yeah. well, that was the first "detroit" mix tape

the sixth grade i was in the eighth grade. i learned "where is love." i came, i sang, i did my audition the cast list comes up, and it says oliver twist, eric pearson well, i storm into the director's office. mr. ken lutz, who was the instrumental teacher, who i am still friends with to this day and i was like, "how dare you? you know, like, i went off on him. and he said," billy, billy, you, fagin." if anybody knows "oliver twist," i was cast as fagin. fagin is really the star of the show fagin is really the lead and i was like, "okay. he said, "well, take the script home and read it." of course at 13, you're just counting your lines. and fagin, i was just counting my lines he doesn't even enter until the last scene of the first act. i was like, how are you going to tell me i'm the lead of a a show named "oliver" and i'm not playing oliver >> jimmy: oliver >> but that is when i discovered the power of a star entrance, darling. because the children were waiting for me i didn't realize that. i didn't understand that >> jimmy: o

i was at new york university . sharyl: is worth mentioning because the people followed any of your stories in the popular press, and likely heard that your also intelligence kind of guy. and when i read about your background and learn more about you, i really thought is a clear misrepresentation of what you had done. then i think we also want to start maybe at the beginning of this conversation with how you came to work in russia read because it is not for your presence in russia in business at some point in time, they may not have had what some would call an excuse to wire tap you to let someone take get to president trump. so explain first of all, why you were russia . people think it is so suspicious. what does business there would actually be thousands of people from the united states live and work in russia. carter: it's ironic in a lot of ways. i'm a free market guy. and actually that was my other degree. in my doctorate in university of london school of oriental no and african studies looking at middle affair

when i was going through the book i was like, seriously reading the with a i used to read when it was a teenager. you found a secret treasure trove of information. and i actually was like printing off quotes from you and i ran out of ink. i was like -- i was like, wow so begin the become is a triumph. it's glorious in how much you're able to pull in from the current moment, from history, and you have all these wide ranging topics that do stick together because they're part of the american story. these issues range from gentrification, the #metoo mom and essential ideas of the american ethos and how we as a make, in particular those in power, want us to see ourselves and who we are. so, my first question for issuing just want to get right into it, what was the process of putting this book together and what is the story of america that you are trying to tell with "stakes is high? ." >> yeah, thank you. first of all, to jeff and magic city books and you for participating in this and everyone who is watching us and tuning in and who has bought the book already, that's fantastic. so, the b

it was more about deprecating the other person. i would say it was kind of a draw. things,igger scheme of it may have ultimately been somewhat more positive for mike pence and the republicans, but i guess it is a little tough to call. host: what do you do in san francisco? caller: i do gardening and landscaping. host: his business back at normal levels? caller: i would say i was rather fortunate in that i was able to keep working through most of the pandemic phase. business has been pretty good. have beeny people maintaining their gardens and investing in the gardens. business has been pretty good. san francisco has been a little depressing as far as the overall economy, but myself and my wife luckily have been able to keep working. host: thanks for calling in. marty in washington on our support president trump and vice president pence line. caller: how are you doing tonight? host: what did you think of the debate? caller: i thought it was a lot less heated than the presidential debate, i will give you that. i think pence made a lot of good points. they both had abou

>> i do. he was a senator and i was a a senator. he was around for a very long time i was new.that she met him, and she never talked to him at all he sat down and he chatted with her about ireland, their families both come from ireland. >> jimmy: yeah >> very human guy. a very empathetic guy. >> jimmy: although the election is november 3rd, and it's been said we won't know the results until days later when do you think we'll know the results? >> jimmy, you raise an important point, and i hope the american people understand it, because this is something i worry about. my view is every vote must be counted. for reasons which i don't have the time to get into tonight, you're going to have a a situation, i suspect, in states like pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, other states, where they are going to be receiving huge amounts of mail-in ballots. and unlike states like florida or vermont, they're not able, for bad reasons, to begin processing those ballots until, i don't know, election day or maybe when the polls close that means you're going to have states dealing with perhaps mil

it was really hard on me for sure. i't know, it was just hard on me, really is. >> reporter: when we reached out to the sheriff's office that first arrested brandon, they directed us to i.c.e. in atlanta. >> everyone here in the united states who's not a u.s. citizen or lawful permanent resident is subject to removal. >> but i.c.e. also has discretion to not deport. >> and we use that on a regular basis, but those kind of cases, you're not hearing about. >> how does it keep americans safe by deporting a nonviolent teenager to a country he's never lived in, really? >> because we still have to follow the rule of law, that's why. >> does that make americans safer? >> yes, because at the end of the day, if you don't follow the rule of law, you're going to have chaos. >> but what if a person has no gang history, there's no violent crime, and they came as a toddler? i mean, aren't you punishing someone for the sins of the father? >> we look at those on a case-by-case basis. >> reporter: but brandon's case was a long shot. he w

cannot really see from where i was standing but when i got closer i realised somebodyad spat on him and he was putting it in to show the referee and i think you are trying to show him who it was or something and it was just out of control. and then i went to get the ball out of net and that is when someone ball out of net and that is when someone shouted at me, you black... and i kind of lost my head for a bit and was being held back by a couple of people and we alljust kind of decided to leave the pitch. we felt like that was the best thing to do. i wasjust like that was the best thing to do. i was just upset like that was the best thing to do. i wasjust upset more than anything. i wasjust upset more than anything. i was not really thinking about foot ball i was not really thinking about football itself, i was just i was not really thinking about football itself, i wasjust kind of shocked and embarrassed. i had to explain to my mum and my nan and whatnot. that is a conversation i would rather not have. spitting is just like, it isjust dirty. it is just like, it isjust

i hadn't realized how dangerous the journey was. n't realized that there was indeed a very serious conspiracy to try to perhaps prevent lincoln from actually getting to washington. it reads like a trailer at times, you learn a lot of history but it's a very narrative driven. >> i wrote a very long manuscript, Ãbi would've published it but fortunately i had a really tough editor, alex mayhew who spends harold editor too and she jumped all over me and made me cut half of it and i'm so glad she did. she died in february but i include a memorial page to her, she was a great editor and she helps me to find that story. really having a great editor helps so much. >> coming back to harold, why did you Ãbyou actually have chapters devoted to any number of presidents, not all of them. you had to pick and choose. for instance, you don't write about eisenhower or truman, how did you pick out Ãbwhy did you pick the presidency picked to talk about their relationship with the press? >> it wasn't a perfect linear process, like ted in a world without
