the man who has almost single-handedly built the largest private company is charles koch.e is well known for his political interests, and his passion is his company, his family, and his philanthropic interests. at 85 years old, he is still going strong. today, i will have conversation with two authors. one is charles koch, a well known businessperson, and the other is brian hooks, the head of a foundation. charles and brian, thank you. charles, you are 85 years old, and most 85-year-olds are not writing books about social entrepreneurship or philanthropy. they are doing other things. why did you decide you wanted to write another book with brian? charles: we started the research 60 years ago with these ideas. then i started writing it five years ago. my gifts, mainly in abstract concepts, math, other concepts. the book was mainly theory and history. it wasn't measuring up. in the meantime, under brian's leadership, we were using these ideas to empower more people to actually show how it works today and transforms people's lives. i said at the end, i don't have a book that

family sph. >> we're proud to take funding from the koch family. it's a small total of the amount we spend. >> how much is it? >> i don't share any numbers for any individual american giving out -- i actually think that it's a good thing to have free speech protected. and part of that means privacy protection. we see big tech concerns all the time about the loss of privacy. this is another area where americans can see their privacy lost if legislation passes that congress, by the way, is calling for -- some in congress are. that would actually chill free speech and harm the first amendment. and we don't think that's a good idea. right now when you look at organizations c4 or c3 organizations across the spectrum, left, right, center, we hit all of them equally. and we think it's a good thing to have groups out there working and pushing for good policies and helping folks. and a chilling effect there's a legislation called hr1 would actually harm free speech in this country at a time when frankly we need more free speech. jane from indiana, an indepe

today i am joining and conversation with two well-known authors, one is charles koch and brian cook, who is head of a foundation. david: you, charles, are 85 years old. most people who are 85 years old -- why did you decide at this stage that you wanted to write another book with brian? charles: i started out with this book and ideas -- the book was mainly about theory in history. it was not measuring up in the meantime under bryan's leadership and staying together, we were using these ideas to empower more people to show how works today and transforms people's lives. i said at the end, i said, "brian, i do not have a book that i believe will do what i want. you need to come in and help me finish it, get it restructured. ," and that's what he did. the reason why i wrote it, and i started on it five years ago, is because i wanted everybody to have the benefit of the ideas that transformed my life and allowed me to change and do things that i thought were entirely impossible. those were the ideas of -- that i call "the principles of human progress." everyone has things that they can of

amy: in the lead we talked about amazon paying a consultant with ties to the koch brothers, something3200 a day to thwart the unionization drive. the consultant russell brown and head of our dvd labor that helps maintain a union-free workplace. your thoughts on this? >> i think what amazon used, this tactic they are using, with this guy coming in making $3200 a day to me is one of the most verb things i have heard of. to me, if amazon was concerned about their people and their people had shown they want a union and have a voice to speak out -- if amazon care anything about their employees, they would t come uagainst them with this type of tactic. this tactic is been processed in aeople's minds. it has been hammered into people's minds. i have people calling and asking me can they do something because they don't want to go to these meetings. these meetings are mandatory. they are hammering in their mind, changing their thoughts, putting fear in their mind, if you ask . there is something that amazon is striving to do. i think it is their intention to provide fear into their minds so th

host: tim phillips, how much money do you get from the koch family?st: we are proud to take money from the koch family, but it is a small part of our funding. guest: -- host: how much is it? guest: i don't share numbers. i think it is a good thing to have free speech protected and privacy. this is another areas where americans can see privacy lost if legislation passes that congress has been calling for -- some in congress are, that would actually kill free speech and harm the first amendment. we don't think that is a good idea. when you look at the organizations that are c4 and c3 organizations that are across the spectrum, right, left, center, it would hit all of them equally and we think it is a good thing to have groups out there that are pushing for good policies and helping folks. a chilling affect of this legislation called hr one would do, it would actually harm free speech in this country when frankly we need more free speech. host: jane in indiana. independent. caller: good morning. thank you so much for c-span. i heard you mention unspent m

did i make this is a christina no no says the coach of icici guardian she's the national women's koch she's one of our 1st guys who came to our program. i know if the governor was to be like. ok we would. cook pushes them to speak younger so we want to reach a stage which has become a star. after coming in this team they get the confidence because of what today they learned through training they became a shop. so they let us continue our training. i was told of the result. was our mother i want to have you know out them up so you can see the guys that will do something and now because of her and they're all off football and all of these you see some of them were not even able to have school fees but because of becoming a good player this tookie was paying for them school fees so you find that it's just not about on the football they have been able to help their family come out of poverty so so many things are far too. early. like even if you never sell you know. one bank which is a good is a. new one was on the moon it was all part of me and i'm quite in the hands of our mulatto money

kate views deborah villalon here now and tells us it's cause for koch cautious optimism tonight here in the bay area, deborah, absolutely frank. we've seen. vaccine clinics across the bay area up and running, but no doses on hand. this is the change. public health officials are clamoring for. there could not be any better news for us. lauren's health officer and others are unanimous about more vaccine. bring it on. we could do 10 times the value will have right now, if we had 10 times the dose arrive tomorrow. we could get people vaccinated next week at 10 times the rate the promise of shots at drugstores, clinics and hospitals have often been hollow. many people who register here nothing facto a website that crashes or doesn't work for. i just don't hear anything back from anyone, so it's pretty discouraged. james e. kind of given up. i took office just three weeks ago, this country did not have a plan. president biden announced the big infusion of vaccine while visiting the national institutes of health. he praised scientists for doing their jobs and slam donald trump for not doing

the double edged sword mr geisha and team epidemiologist dr fabiani lend from the prestigious robert koch institute here in berlin and was assisting the team in china from right here dr linda pleasure to have you on the program am i correct in understanding that the team isn't sure if the corona about us originated in china. we still have no good evidence for the place over that's right. do you think the team would have had a better idea if it had sort of been in china much earlier. well you know it's it's always the better because the tracks are still fresh or whole ever it's not too late of the investigations and so not diseases have started much much later than this one so i think there's still a good chance to find out what happened so you are convinced that we that they will come a time in our future that we will know where the corona virus actually originated from this is a very complicated puzzle especially since this virus causes all mild symptoms or no symptoms so it's harder to follow back the tracks to the patient 0 or the index case however i'm very confident that at some poin

basically monitor the vote and investigate the worker rights and they also have an anti-union you know koch back to official that they hired for so you should say. there's some sort of connection between amazon and or intelligence services well. i would say our intelligence services have always monitored activism and labor activism so the f.b.i. you know got its start with the palmer a it's like they were just babies back then they were just you know it was starting to walk ok good so it's not going to that's. as long as there are abusing us and surveilling us. it's tradition but there is an interesting story coming out of l.a. the beverly hills cops have been playing music they've been deejaying while they're getting filmed in order to trigger a copyright takedown of a live video when they're being filmed so it's incredible so they realize that people were filming them usually doing stuff and they didn't want those videos go viral on you tube and twitter and stuff so now they're. they're like actively playing music yeah to force the video to be taken down yeah basically a cop will rip him

and conditions of their contracts of course often they sit around waiting for a fare and one of the koch claimants has said that under the pandemic that we're going through fares are down around 80 percent which has left many drivers really struggling. and he's called for in fact the law in the u.k. now to be strengthened to make sure that the drivers can actually access it to pay and to get protection from unfair dismissal which was another gripe of the drivers now there are 60000 or so but drivers in the u.k. most of them in fact more than 2 thirds in london but of course this will have implications for other sectors there are other legal challenges from from taxi firms and. livery companies employees or workers at the moment but other sectors have come under the spotlight during the pandemic of the gig economy a very very big feature right now in the u.k. whether or not the law changes could stand to have to pay out big sums the lawyers for the claimants are saying perhaps as much as $16000.00 per person it could take a while to work that through but clearly this is a big what it's be

leaders following their video conference on thursday also clenched quickly for vision of the koch 1000 facts in recognizing many they said just step back and accelerate this program to ensure that everybody had the chair but it is of course it has so far been slow this is what the joint statement from clearly just had to say we need to urgently accelerate the prize ocean production and distribution of vax and as well as vaccination when russia says it's ready to step up and send doses of sputnik v. to the e.u. the vaccine was recently given a glowing report in the medical journal the lancet which ranked it as being one of the most effective vaccines against the virus the e.u. has said it would. be but of course that will be subject to regulatory approval. and finally over and as well as claimed leaders are exercising soft power through vaccine diplomacy with jobs carney worth their weight in gold amid chronic saw today as the country's apparently negotiated political favors from other nations in exchange for giving shots are his paullus lier. israelis say to share that stock effect sce

managing director of the 7800 years of jewish life in germany association and he joins us from cologne mr koch thanks for being here if there was one big message about the year of commemoration what would that be. we want to we wanted to show that we have to share a shared history in the show society between jews and non jews and want to show that we have it shipped over 150000 jews living now eja many and there is a growing tendency your in the past years and very very sure that we want to have a common future as well and to have this common future we need to understand this is a bit like neighbors that it's not enough this is our approach to learn from each other . it's very important to spend some quality time and to build up an empathy and only with this empathy who we are we are convinced that we can fight against and say that there's a lot against conspiracy theories. in oh wait when you get here and then as i've done for a while it's really hard to miss that a renaissance or an incredible renaissance of jewish life where there's a klezmer music or israeli reza you know restaurants and s

1950s and '60s, the far right fringe group was the john birch society cofounded by the father of the kochthers along with robert welch. the society became so influential, it endorsed barry goldwater's candidacy for president and voter's association of him with them arguably helped bring it down. remember, extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. apparently extremism, it actually is a vice. unlike mccarthy, conservative leaders like richard nixon, william buckley, despite their anticommunist zeal, rallied to boot them out of the party calling them nuts who were devoid of conservative ideals and they chased them out, or at least they quieted them down. they opposed adding fluoride to the nation's water supply, saying it was a mass medical treatment and most of the united states government, including dwight d. eisenhower, were under secret communist mind control. today mother jones is reporting that greene was a moderator of a group that pushed racist memes and championed the john birch society. she proclaims her hate on social media, a modern day bircher. joining me now is david joll

theoretically koch is fungible for pepsi. them -- but lots of economists like to talk about oil being fungible. they make an analogy of a bathtub. oil taken from one part of the bathtub is replaced by oil from the rest of the bathtub. the problem is this is wrong. as anyone who works in the oil industry can tell you, oil is not fungible because all types of crude oil or not the same. specifically, oils usually dominated in two ways. oil tends to be sweet or sour. that has to do with the sulphur content. or tends to be heavy or light. depending on the specific --. so us shale oil, tends to be light sweet crude. and sweet is like saying as light as a crowd. but oil from the middle east, saudi arabia seems to be light. so it tends to be light but also tends to be sour. it has this high sulphur content. why does this matter? it means that oil different composition's cannot be refined in the same facility. if you have a refinery which is there to produce lights sweet crude, it cannot handle heavy sour crude. and the process of con

archeological remains, of cow, apparently and they were county found on the c8:í4asite so that tells uss the kochwas doing everything, from butchering, all the way to preparing food. we also found remains of, turkey. freshwater drum. turtle, pork. and the freshwater drum, and the total particularly interesting, because again, those -- are foods in south louisiana. . so, this is a raised creole -- cottage, this is a style of architecture, built in 1790. it seems to have been built into campaigns, or perhaps raised in the later time. but, it was complete, to this configuration. by 1805 and then just briefly, just a quick renovation in the 18 thirties, to add dorms. but other not, it remains pretty much unchanged. so, the house was lifted by, three generations, or excuse me two generations of huddles. and then, after slavery, a number of different families, lived here. when it was operated as a rage labor farm. free labor form. so, we are going to enter onto the ground floor, any domestic slaves that worked on this plantation, would come in to this house, through the back. so, we've made a choice to

that they did, like right when way they got here, yeah, quoted robert frost and watching alistair kochu know, they wouldn't have had to put that up there in five languages, don't throughout the trays. and so, you know, i know that in that immigrant past, people who came as adults, people who had to work long hours had sometimes a spotty command of the language. we used to assume that that was part of the immigrant experience. now, we want something from people who just got here in some cases. that we never asked from our former selves, but it shows you the anxiety. to have a little compassion to for the people who are feeling that rising dread about a country that they don't think they recognize, they don't think they understand anymore. we have to remember, this is a time of tremendous economic and social anxiety, wages have barely budged at the middle point. in 40 years and so, if you're working flat out and you see people around you just getting here and you have this feeling like, this was my birth rate and yet, what are these people doing here? also making a go of it in the united

so theoretically it is exchangeable with koch. although i don't know anyone would drink coke. a lot of economists like to talk about wheels being fungible in these than elegy of a bathtub, that oil taken from one part of the bathtub is simply replaced with oil from the rest of the bathtub. the problem is that this is wrong. as anyone who works in the oil industry can tell you pretty quickly, oil is not fungible because all types of crude oil are not the same. specifically, oil is usually separate in two ways. oil tends to be sweet or sour, it tends to do with it sulfur content. or it's light or heavy, depending on the specific gravity. so u.s. shea oil tends to be light sweet, as sweet as a mountain spring, as light as a cloud, as people used to say. whereas oil from the middle east specifically tends to be light. it tends to be. light but it also tends to be sour. in that it has high sulfur content. why does this matter? it means that oil of different composition's cannot be refined in the same facility. if you have a refinery that is there to produce a light sweet crude it c

. >> they did it - they did to koch they did it to giuliani, de blasio.s -- he was tall enough to not get yelled at. he found out the wrong way that wasn't true. >> no. >> he found out the hard way >> no. >> he just found out, when you move to new york, and you're tall, and you don't play sports, people just call you big bird. >> uh-huh. [ laughter ] >> seth: i didn't realize that, but that's a great -- another great thing to love about our city do you guys have any guests you're excited about coming up on this season >> ooh, yeah we're coming back hard with the champion of democracy. we got leader stacey abrams in the building >> that's right. >> our first episode back. >> seth: that's exciting >> always great speaking with her. >> seth: and i will say, desus, seeing you in front of those shoes, even though your interview with obama was great, one of my favorite political interviews in the last five years was you guys going over how much shoes cost with bernie sanders >> with the god. bernie sanders >> seth: just the purest, just boiled down the essence

in the roosevelt administration on oil projects, and eventually becomes associated with the famous kochs him into a billionaire. so, marshall's second wife is stricken with alzheimer's and he's a very lonely man. so he then begins a 10-year relationship with a very exotic, flamboyant stripper named lady walker. >> he lavished her with flowers, love notes, diamonds. he was still married. and both he and lady walker agreed that it would be very wrong for them to have sex. >> he spent millions and millions of dollars on her over the years. but whatever their relationship was about ,it didn't seem to be about sex. >> he felt like he was her protector. he would write her these florid, romantic notes, which she would respond to in kine. and along with giving her these florid, romantic notes, he'd give her checks, lots of them. >> so, the relationship is very devoted, but lady walker suddenly dies. >> and here was marshall, he'd lost his wife, who he really did love, to alzheimer's. he lost his paramour, who i think he really did love, who died on the operating table getting a facelift. >> so,

let�*s talk now to the german epidemiologist fabian leendertz of the robert koch institute and he�*sad many discussions with - what so far has been learned? so far we had many discussions with our. we had many discussions with our chinese colleagues who already during the 1a days quarantine, we had any discussions with them, between 8—10 hours, with the different teams from the chinese side and also amongst us, the experts, and since quarantine has been lifted the team has visited various places as we just mentioned in the report but also we have lots of discussions with the different groups of scientists, no matter if it is the human or animal side. i5 it is the human or animal side. is there a sense that the answers you are getting are honest ones? i have to sa that are getting are honest ones? i have to say that the _ are getting are honest ones? i have to say that the atmosphere - are getting are honest ones? i have to say that the atmosphere is - are getting are honest ones? i have to say that the atmosphere is very i to say that the atmosphere is very productive, and all questi

at that point the koch brothers threw their hands up, tkhapl better of commerce threw their hands up,hment threw their hands up and just said, enough. no. we are not going crazy. and they piled their support behind more mainstream candidates and saved 2014 from being a disaster. i wonder if what we are seeing in mitch mcconnell is the sort of process. of course it couldn't be done in 2020 because donald trump was there. and eclipsed absolutely everything that was happening. but i wonder if this is what mitch mcconnell and the republican establishment are hoping to do right now, hoping that 2022 is a replay of 2014. but it's a good year with mainstream republicans instead of crack pots and conspiracy theorists. >> i think that's their goal. that would be their ideal. we'll see if they can get there. but the problem of course is that trumpism is the reigning philosophy of the republican base. to the extent that there is a philosophy. and that's crazy. so the elections that are coming up ream won't be -- they won't be left versus right. they will be noncrazy versus crazy. and in that sor
