jim wilson was one of my intellectual heroes. his book is called the moral sense. when jim died a couple years ago and i read one of his one of his students had the moral sense was one of his favorite books and he was most proud of. that was wonderful. i became known for publishing books by conservatives back in the early '90s. i made my first book to deal with the problem of political correctness on campus. i followed that up with a book by david brock who was a conservative. it was a forensic book based on the ne to heal hearing. the major bestseller that i published after that was the bell curve. since then books with notes one of the most proud books is called denying the holocaust. we had to twist her arm to publish it because she didn't want to give holocaust denial a forum. she said it's not a good idea to publish a book about them because they want attention and want to be taken seriously. we persuaded her persuaded her that it was an important subject and interestingly enough, she was sued in a british court by david irving of famous holocaust denier and sh

but just as a moral justification, i could -- if i'm white and poor and growing up in west virginia why don't i have a diversity argument. i certainly do to harvard. >> that's the jim webb argument. >> it's very true. >> he believes affirmative action shouldn't be there for hispanics, for asians it is for african-americans, particularly african-americans whose ancestors were enslaved. >> right. and that's a much more morally grounded argument. in my reparations argument i broaden it out a little bit more than that. for african-americans the difference between reparations and affirmative action reparations is connected to something that was actually done. in my article i talk about housing discrimination and the way the fha dispensed our home loans and how african-americans were discriminated. that's a specific act. it's not just the fact of being black. it's the fact that there was an actual government policy. it harmed some people and we could make recompense for that. that's a kind of direct one-to-one -- that's different than the squishy we really need more black and brown people more women. i mean that's nice but it's a very very different argument. >> it's fun

jim crow in the south. why did it take so long to look at i differently? >> the story of the flag coming down is a moral narrative but also a narrative about money. in other words, the flag flew for 50 years, half a century. it maintained economic sanctions and boycott for 15 years. we had nine families and a church lose lives and a nation experience hours and hours, days and weeks of grief. this is a longer narrative. so it took the loss of life. the shedding of blood. and it also took economic pressure to bring this flag down. it says a lot about who we are as americans, in moments of tragedy and difficulty, we can rise up and exhibit our highest constitutional and moral values. we need to be clear. it was a combination of forces coming together at a moment of conscience that brought that flag down. it was sad that it took so much. but we are heartened by the fact that the flag is coming down. and i'm reminded of the words of martin luther king who. that the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners would one day sit down at the table of brotherhood. that has not happened. but the sons

because they consider the old jim crow whereas many people who are in mass incarceration have actually made bad choices and committed crimes. and they would say, i don't see any moral equivalence between martin and rose on the one hand and drug dealers and gang-bangers and prostitutes on the other. and now president obama is challenging us to rethink our moral categories and see if we can find social oppression in acts of criminal wrongdoing. >> marc your sentencing project recently sent a letter to the house oversight committee calling on congress to act on criminal justice reform. here are some of the statistics you cite in that letter. the federal prison population increased from approximately 25,000 in 1980 to slightly over 208,000 today. that number coming from the federal bureau of prisons. you also point out the agency's budget has doubled over the past decade. $7.2 billion. are you seeing bipartisan support for reform marc? even the president noting that is issue is an unlikely bedfellow like the koch brothers him. >> we've seen more bipartisan support over the last decade. traditional conservatives are concerned about the overpunitiveness of the system. th
