>> well, i suppose, larry, one has to look at those definitions. material success and artistic success, there are a goot many people at the table that could make that claim. perhaps the pursuit of individual success is one of the problems that's causing our planet to ecologically implode currently and perhaps this imbalance, this constant service of the top 1% is causing all this configuration. it's difficult. how i deal with my personal material success is guiltily. >> i feel like the second you feel like i'm doing great work and i feel terrific about it, then whatever you're doing has to be terrible. i hate everything i do. >> that makes two of us. >> you hate everything i do, too. >> yes, i do. seth, his work is reprehensible. we'll get to that. enjoy your meal. i met with -- we had a group come visit the show recently of inner city kids. and they were gifted, you know, all in different ways. and they were talking about they wanted to speak with me for a little bit. and so i spoke with them at the show, and one of the girls who must have been 16

larry summers was a controversy- seeking missile and there was controversy about him almost throughout tenure at harvard. >> when she came in, one of her jobs was to calm everybody down and get them focused on the task of moving harvard forward. and one of the marvelous things she did is, in her very first year, she literally imposed her personality on the campus, someone who was intellectually dominant but calm and collected and a great communicator. and the campus calmed down and got focused on the task of moving harvard forward. >> susie: but a little over a year into her presidency, faust was dealt an even bigger challenge when the global financial crisis hit with a vengeance. >> i think, for me, as for many people, it was almost unreal. i remember september of 2008, and we would watch the stock market. we would hear these firms that we thought were immortal were disappearing. it was unclear what was going to happen one day to the next. >> susie: harvard's investing prowess had long been the envy of the financial world. at its peak, the university's endowment, totaled almost $37 bi

not here tonight, larry? [laughter] and where he says, and i think now famously after an economic briefing he said this quite often, the larry summers home alone riff, it was called, where he would leave said briefing on various summits, and he would turn to his fellow adviser and say we are home alone, there is no adult in charge. and bill clinton would never make these mistakes. now, larry has a history for acerbic framing of issues. this, i think, is even for him, you know, a pie on the charts. it's interesting, because that becomes something that troubles people. summers' genius is, in fact, framing arguments, and people wondered, is larry framing this right? are we home alone? are we ever anything but home alone? this is one of the things i posit in the book. peter orszag, who discusses his feelings about larry's home alone riff and can actually cite a specific instance where they sort of discussed it and the follow up to that, um, he posits, he opines about this. i say at the end of the book, you know,

>> guest: i was in my office doing a little work and i got a phone call from larry flynt they have a business proposition for you and that was it. when can you come to l a? i will be on the next flight. i flew out not knowing what he had in mind and when he proposed a collaboration for this book i said i got to do it and the rest is history. >> host: why did you have your eye on him? >> guest: i had become aware of some programs produced for the history channel. on the same subject matter. i was very intrigued by cs shows. so i knew he was quite familiar with the subject matter and it would be sensitive what we were dealing with, historical figures. i felt he was the right person to do the book with a. >> host: let's hear your favorite chapter or story in the book. >> i love the whole book. i love what we did on ben franklin. are was fascinated with woodrow wilson mainly because of him having a stroke and his wife running congress for three months. it was fascinating. but the one that really gripped me more than anyone else was the warren harding one. i couldn't believe somebody that

(cheers and applause) thank you for being here. >> great to be here. >> jon: "republic lost." sir, if you were to remove money from congress and its corrupting influence, does that mean we're going to have to get more involved? because... i'm not so so sure we would be able to handle that. (laughter) >> i think some of you... okay, maybe not you but some of them would, sure. they have to get more involved. i think the problem is we have a system for funding where .05% of americans max out in the congressional campaign. .26% give more than $200. so campaigns are funded b

(laughter). >> jon: well, gingrich did take heat for that comment and he clarify it had comment soon after. >> some people who suggest that the working poor by definition know how to work, which is true, that's why they're called the working poor. i was talking about people who come out of areas and neighborhoods where they may not have that experience. >> okay, he's not talking about poor people, he's talking about poor black people. rac(audience reacts) chuck, could you change my... oh, thank you.

as larry indicated. that wasn't george schultz' primary focus but the reality is that by opening construction jobs to minorities, we also increased the number of construction workers and put pressure on their ability to mow nopize -- monopolize control of labor. >> and have to add more sophisticated management. >> yes. >> management got much better at sort of managing the work force. and giving employees the right to participate, even when they weren't unionized. so i think there's a much higher degree of sophistication now. and people just feel they don't need a union. >> i think that's true. >> you're both right about the reasons for the decline. both structural and the global competition. but what puzzles me is you don't see the same decline of the unionized portion of the work force in europe as you do in the united states. even though they -- the european countries face many of the same structural and competitive factors we do. and the proportion of their unionized work force remains pretty much the

coach dooley said that he finally had to stop having coffee with larry munson because larry was the ever pessimist from a football standpoint. coach dooley would come into those coffees feeling good about his chances in the ballgame that day and by the time he finished having coffee with larry munson, he had to go back and rewrite his playbook for the ballgame. larry munson was simply a man who loved the university of georgia. he loved calling football games and he loved putting his emotions into those calls. he was a man who cared not just about the university of georgia but about its students. he used to have what he called a wednesday night movie night where he would invite students to join him at a theater in athens, georgia, and he would just share time, his time with students that he loved, and he did this for years and years and years. and i have heard stories from some of those folks who attended those movie nights that larry munson was more passionate about movies than he was about university of georgia football, which is hard to imagine. but as we look back on the life of larry
