. >> joining me now, and maria hinojosa, john mccain doesn't get elected by the american people, he getsed in arizona where this is obviously a pretty tough subject to handle. >> yeah, you know, but he did say let's talk about facts. he continued to bring it up. that is what i want to talk about. for me to watch this scenario, i feel this people's pain in a sense. because i see that they are very fearful, they are scared about what is happening in their state. and frankly in the country. so in this face of fear, i think facts are really important. so this notion of you know, they're all on welfare, and they're you know, overrunning our country and not speaking english. no, the fact is, that actually if we were -- if there was a process to legalize people, it would actually be a boon to the american economy. states, texas has shown that. arkansas has shown that. economists are talking about that. so one of your producers -- i said i feel like i want to hug one of these people and say come on, guys, all the anger, sheriff arpaio's anger, no, it is going to keep changing. and frankly we kno

i'm maria hinojosa. this is one-on-one. >> hinojosa: professor nolan bowie, welcome to one on one. you are, my gosh, you are one of those renaissance men, so i'm going to list a few of the things that you've done in your life. you are a lawyer, you're a professor at the kennedy school of government, you are a former member of the u.s. naval reserves... this one i just loved: former assistant special prosecutor in the watergate special prosecution force. oh my god. and you're an artistnd a writer. i don't know how you do all these things. how do you do it all? >> it's usually one at a time. >> hinojosa: (laughs) so not multitasking? >> well, that too, on occasion. >> hinojosa: but fascinating, even though you devote your life to understanding communication, democracy, literacy, access, you are not one of those people who is on facebook, on twitter, communicating all the time with the masses. >> well, one of the reasons i have time to do the other things is that i'm not on facebook and communicating with an amorphous mass of people who, you know, distract your attention from what you

i'm maria hinojosa. this is one on one. captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org >> hinojosa: faye wattleton, thank you for being here. >> thank you. it's my pleasure to be invited. >> hinojosa: so people know you because for over a decade you ran planned parenthood federation of america. you were the face of that organization and of that movement for many, many years. and then you left and you created the center for the advancement of women. and you recently released this report basically on the status of women, what's interesting to them, what matters to them. and i have to say, i was just fascinated with this statistic-- 92% of the women who you asked said that the biggest issue that they face, that they're most concerned with as women in america today, is domestic violence and sexual assault. >> we were surprised also. we performed this study as a benchmark to the beginning... for the beginning of the 21st century to measure where women stand on a range of issues. and the question was asked whether women b

i'm maria hinojosa. this is one-on-one. >> hinojosa: anand giridharadas, it's great to have you here. >> great to be here. >> hinojosa: so how'd i do with the name, all right? >> yeah, very well. >> hinojosa: because it's an... >> that was like top two percent. >> hinojosa: now, when you were growing up in ohio... ok, so this is a couple of years ago, you're growing up in ohio. you're born there, from indian parents, and they looked at your name and what did they do? >> they often asked if there was anything else they could call us, and my... one of the ways that my family, my parents, thought of coming back against this was when these telemarketers called and asked us, you know, to spell our name. someone gave us the idea of spelling each letter using a disease, so we'd say, "g for gastroenteritis," "i for intestinal disorder," and people stopped calling. so that's one of the advantages of a very... of a very difficult name. >> hinojosa: well, it's interesting, because your name is one way to enter into

. >> hinojosa: i wonder how your perspective as an astronaut kind of informs that perspective. >> well, the other thing, maria, is that, like i said, the world has changed. and now we look at ourselves as citizens of a planet, not citizens of a country. and so i don't see myself as much as a citizen of the united states, or a citizen of costa rica. i just see myself as a citizen of the planet earth. and the more you go out and fly in space, the more you realize that, you know, this little ball is really our home, and that we are all really in it. and all these borders that have been drawn, you know, are really sort of irrelevant at this point. there is a saying that one of my heroes, john young, often says, that when you are on your way to mars, you're going to spend most of your time looking out the window at this one little point of light that is the place where you came from, and this other little point of light which is the place that you're going to. and he says this is going to redefine loneliness. and i think he's right. >> hinojosa: oh, my god, that's extraordinary. i remember, you know, just... we we
