lindbergh wanted it. lindbergh always painted levine as a duplicitous man.fact, he more or less painted him as a duplicitous jew within his spirit of st. louis. because he always felt better about the fact that he had the columbia within his grasp, and then levine kind of jerked it away from him at the last minute. levine was the first transatlantic airline passenger. he jumped into the plane at the very last minute. lindbergh went across on may 20-21. chamberlin and levine -- weight, lindbergh went across in may. chamberlin and levine went across in june. they went to berlin. they went farther than lindbergh had come and levine was the only flyer who did not receive a letter of commendation from calvin coolidge. and the jewish population in brooklyn had a fit about that. so that's levine. levine is the villain. mini newspaperman called him a madman because he's always changing his mind. or he was labeled as the man who was not lindbergh. but anyways who was the most likely birth of any of the flyers. he was an outsider. ito did on his plane. he was uncomfor

there was lindbergh. lindbergh was personified, he was the dark horse, he was the outsider. there was richard burr, the scientist slash pure reason. there was no will davis, the fellow that had ridden the range from utah as a cowboy with math books in his saddlebags. he was presented as the sheriff of royte with a strong moral purpose, he was going to bring back american flight records back home to where it deserved to the friendship so when from us. the already had a nickname the bad boy of the air. he was chic, he was the dark water, the reckless ladies' man, barnstormers were kind of like rock stars today. there was charles. his co-pilot friends were the only frenchman to try to come across from paris to new york. he was very romantic and he was thought of as the glamorous life of the air. he also had flown in a couple of hollywood movies. there were no complications in this. it was easy to understand these people as they were presented. the story lines are very simple, and because of that they can invest it with the hopes and dreams of millions, and their victories and f

this is, essentially, what happens to lindbergh in america first.and then roosevelt does some nasty things to lindbergh, but -- yes, sir. >> following up on your theme of exclusion and inclusion and disenfranchisement, my understanding is that the right to vote had been confined not only just to white males, but to white male property owners, real property owners. >> that's certainly true in the constitution, yes, sir. >> did roosevelt take any active role in expanding the right to vote? >> no. because by the time, by 19 -- by roosevelt's administration the last group to get the legal right to vote is, of course, african-americans who get no policies under him. american indians get the right to vote following world war i, and the argument is very similar for the american indians as it becomes for african-americans later. they shed blood in the war for the nation, they have a right to citizenship. and that becomes a very important parallel in the civil rights movement and the right to vote. but fdr didn't ever, as far as i know, she says looking at a

this debate began after world war i in the 30's with henry ford and lindbergh and isolationists and after world war ii with the taft wing and eisenhower wing of the party. now, understandably, because of our economic difficulty, this isolationist wing of the republican party is very active again. i understand that. i respect it. i wish they would spend some time in the region. >>neil: you mention your party, senator, and i do want to address comments you made yesterday or the day before, where you were telling republicans who are second-guessing and criticizing the romney campaign, to "cool it." you were more colorful. ann romney saying much the same today in a radio interview. your argument is what? it makes his situation worse? or it exposes republican weaknesses? >>guest: my argument is if you attack our nominee who was selected by our party through a legitimate process at a time when they could be some stumbles, who are you helping in who are you assisting by doing that? mitt romney is the man in the arena. whether you agree or disagree with the campaign he is waging, obviously, our o

while researching the lindbergh book, two names kept cropping up. dorothy thompson, an american journalist, and her friend of 40 years, rebecca west, journalist, novelist, literary critic and historian. they eat atomized the kind of woman i was searching for. they play for high-stakes, whisking personal pain for public voice and influence. think of it. two generations before the baby boomers were born, these women had the courage to throw off convention, defy social expectation and catapult themselves into the public arena at a time of roiling political and social upheaval. and against the headwind of their contemporaries, i mean, they were ridiculed. and with none of the safety nets we take for granted today. and to compound their struggle, they had no family connection, no money, and had fractured childhoods. let me begin with dorothy thompson. born in 1893, the english irish parents in a small town in northern new york state, she was the eldest of three children whose preacher father taught them first to love jesus. second, do all day the christi

back to world war i, the henry cabot lodge, the league of nations and then in the '30s, charles lindberghwing and the eisenhower wing of our party. and this is always out there, this debate in hard economic times understandably that a facet or part of our party gains traction. but history shows that the united states cannot retreat to fortress america. and when we do, we pay a very heavy price. >> i want you to listen to what the secretary of state hillary clinton said today about that extraordinary briefing yesterday behind closed doors to all members of congress by her and other u.s. intelligence and administration officials. listen to what she said today. >> yesterday afternoon when i briefed the congress, i made it clear that keeping our people everywhere in the world safe is our top priority. what happened in benghazi was a terrorist attack. and we will not rest until we have tracked down and brought to justice the terrorists who murdered four americans. >> you were at that briefing. >> yes. >> are you and the secretary of state on the same page based on what you heard yesterday? >>

lindbergh and ford didn't deviate and phillip ross explained it best in his seminal discussion. >> meantime, mcdonald's a good one. after that disappointing july, global comps up 3.7, and in line with expectations, but sales in both the u.s. and europe were shy of forecast. com sales and emerging markets up 4%. pretty good beat in asia. the best beat in asia since january. >> i wonder what goldman is thinking about that downgrade at 85. i have thoughts about it. i think it's very important to recognize this was a beaten up franchise. you called the bottom when you were at the olympics. was he under comp? was thompson shaking in his boots? >> i didn't see any jitters, no. they were not obvious at least to me. >> and how about the fact -- i am interested that the dollar -- all the coffee is a dollar this month. you know that because you go as much as i do. and i would have thought the u.s. would be slightly better because of the dollar promotion. i think it's hurt dunkin. mcdonald's is back, not bigger than ever, but mcdonald's is back and the evaluation is lower than it is in yum, which if y
