khrushchev came to united states, and nikita khrushchev was my father and i am sergei khrushchev. and many interesting things there. political discussion. it was very serious talk, but also many funny things. and peter found all those funny things that he pulled them together in this book, showing how we can present the political person in the contemporary way you.and i'm trying to think at t time what i feel. and i was with my father on this trip. and for us, it was like -- for the christopher columbus discovery of america. and we discovered america for ourselves. we knew about america, but what we knew, america very different. we knew something that we learn from the 19th century america. and then this new world and we tried to find out how books, i found this book very interesting, but i just wanted detail of this book of the story, but from that aside, my first wish, was what you wrote this book. 50 years ago, visit from one leader of one country to the united states. i think there may be other leaders came here. sometimes khrushchev was eccentric. and president yeltsin was mo

and khrushchev had to restrain castro who is ready for nuclear war even if his arms were up literate. we are entering into a world that is closer to midnight -- nightmare. congratulations to. >> thank you for correcting my misidentification of your uncle. >> that's all right. >> i'm glad to begin with the word caveat. >> i knew herman for the last 10 years of his life. i'm glad to begin with the word caveat. that was his password. but the reason i rose to speak is i wanted to modify what you said about fallout shelters. the recent herman left rand to create the hudson was over the misunderstanding of fallout shelters. the purpose was to create the conditions so if you unknown opponent in the future thought that maybe we're not crazy enough to press the button, we would produce for them news shows of people streaming out of los angeles, newark, chicago, to show these americans were crazy enough that they were ready to press a button. because if your opponent doesn't think you're going to press the button, deterrence doesn't work. so fallout shelters were supposed to be misunderstood b

not only stalin and lenin and khrushchev but the very daring books, the pilot perrine in moscow it's interesting because i speak to people from east germany and russia today and everybody has the same references to all the things we read about. all these things we were exposed to in the same a ways. this is dealing with the things which happen in the world about exactly the same all the time. what is important is that the hungarian uprising, the berlin wall with, the cuban missile crisis which came much later, president kennedy, the brennan wall, his assassination in dallas, the vietnam war, this was interesting because i did and now it was common where my life that we found out that we both were hiding under the tables in fear of a nuclear war. because it was the solution at that time the students would be heading into the table like it would solve anything. i think i didn't like prague, what was happening outside the was a dark place. that was not as much fun doing out so at that time i painted everything in our house, a psychiatrist said it was probably because i was afraid my fat

not only stolid and 11 and khrushchev but the pilot it coming through moscow with no license. because they take the people from germany and east germany everybody has the same reference to the things here he exposed omnibus in the same way. and dealing with the the things that happen in the world that are not exactly in the same order of time. the most important was the hungarian uprising and the cuban missile crisis that came up much later. president kennedy was involved and then the assassination in dallas. it is interesting because i did not know something coming that we found out we were both hiding under the tables with the fear of the nuclear war because it was the solution at that time the students would be hiding under the table would solve anything. i think i did not like what was happening prague. not very friendly. it was dark. not as much fun greg up so with everything in our house , i was afraid my father with the fund a big trip but then i found in the use old shares for people who wanted to be my friend and this is a famous circus artist and a player. at that ti

pioneer of walking industry, and this was all the mix of propaganda with, not only stalin, lenin and khrushchevbut these very different books we read at the time which were about the pilot who was calling to moscow with no legs. it's interesting because if i speak to people from east german and russia today, everyone has the same references and all these things, we were sort of expose, all of us, in the same way. this is dealing with the things that happen in the world. they are not exactly, exactly in the same order of time. but was important was the hungarian uprising, berlin wall, then cuban missile crisis which came much later. president kennedy at berlin wall and his assassination in dallas, vietnam war. this was interesting because i didn't know it was one thing which was common for me in my life with america that we found out we both were hiding under the tables in the fear of a nuclear war. because it was the solution at that time that the students would be hiding under the table like it would solve anything. i think i didn't like prague. what was happening outside very much, it wasn't

. >> that first year of john kennedy, for example, he has his head handed to him by khrushchev.ay of pigs going on. the freedom riders in the south beginning the rise to the civil rights movement. and then that decade is the introduction of the assassination of the president, of martin luther king, of robert kennedy, the turmoil in the streets of chicago, the war that cost us almost 60,000 lives before the end of it. so that is not in the distant past. that's in my own lifetime. maybe not yours, david. >> i wasn't going to say it. but david brooks, what then becomes narrative of this decade? >> who are the passionate outsiders who are going to come in. the people with passion can control the decade, the feminists in the 1970s. the evangelicals in the 1980s. who are the real passionate outsiders, the protesters in iran but two, i have to say i'm not a huge fan but the tea party people. they have real passion, now on the outside. if they can merge with responsible leadership and become a real movement there is real disgust at government, about fiscal issues, they could become mayb

we made it through the cuban missile crisis, but khrushchev was considerably saner than ahmadinejad. we made it through one missile crisis. i am not looking to do several, or to do one or two every year. it is important that we tremendously increase the sanctions on iran. i've been calling on that for 12 or 13 years now. so far what we've done is pitifully small, under three administrations, compared to what we could do. host: we are talking to congressman brad sherman, reacting to the president's message is in last night's state the union address. chicago is next. henry. caller: independent, not democrat. brad, you are doing a good job explaining the questions they ask you this morning. but you all have such a hard time explaining the difference between a terrorist and a combatant. this is what everybody is talking about where we tried them at. al qaeda is an organization that uses terrorism to inflicted their views on the world. these are not soldiers. these are enemy combatants and allocated is using religious and economic -- al qaeda is using religious and economic elites to recr

barack obama to see the battle through, which ended up being a contest, turned an ally into the khrushchevf this administration, the finding doesn't limits of the united states -- finding the limits of the united states, and the united states has to find its way out of that box. i agree iran is what most matters, and when we come back a year from now, we will see whether or not the united states has made any progress on that front or not, and if not, the world would be sensing we are in serious economic decline. thank you. [applause] >> will marshall, you are up next. >> thank you very much, adam, and steve. i also want to thank my panelists for leaving me domestic policy to cover in five minutes. i will not be able to do it, but if you're hooked out. i will try to talk about things we of not talked about about how barack obama is judged and how he would like to be judge, because he told a bunch of colonists that he views his historic mission as domestic renewal of the united states. we focus on lawful inheritance dump on his lap. i am really impressed by his ambition 3 and he has set in m
