i don't know if he knew that he had a tree named after him, but it was the mark twain tree. and here this secretary of the interior, you know, who's had this great named after him and it gets whacked. so, you know, it's kind of kind of surprise. and then that must have driven your crazy. i mean, he understood the power or, you know, the importance of these trees. sure. but not not many people did. and they were the giant sequoias weren't, even good building wood. you know, there was wood all around. but the wood was somewhat brittle and was off know used for for fence posts and for roof shingles and they would when they fell, they would splinter. they would actually have to carve a bed out and put down branches to look for it to fall. so it wouldn't just shatter some of these trees. you should definitely see the by the book for the photos alone. but bye by 15. amazing story. so we have about 15 minutes left. i thought i would open the floor to questions. does anyone have a question for dean? and we have microphones around. here's one right here, right. well, i've just begun

. >> jimmy: a mark twain dinner for adam. >> molly: mark twain kind of pre sendoff dinner so it was suffice wearing to the dinner. >> he was casual. he had like a hawaiian shirt but he did have pants, not shorts. >> jimmy: he had pants on. >> yeah. >> jimmy: i noticed he wore a suit to the mark twain thing and i was like wow i haven't seen that in some time. >> molly: that's funny. when he was at saturday night live he was great he recommended me to lauren that's how i got on the show. he got on first adam and i went to nyc drama school. first he got on we went to the deli and had soup and then he said kid i'm going to get you on just you wait. so i did a show in la and he recommended me to laren. it's lauren's show but adam ruled that show. but he could come into work, he would roller blade to work isn't that funny jimmy. then he write everything, he hand writes everything on a yellow legal pad. he's just the greatest. >> jimmy: makes it look easy, the whole thing is very, it's like nothing. it's like he's got the whole world figured out in a lot of ways. >> molly: so true jimmy. you seem

as a practical matter, i, the mark twain is right. if your client is a politically connected or privileged individual, if your client mo, almost all my clients are under dogs, an outside or so consequently, any invitation the lunch would be declined. so consequently, my only choice is to be a good lawyer in court. okay, so justice, so only works by the book when it comes to under dogs. but uh, when it comes to privilege people, there is a whole.

as a practical matter, i, the mark twain is right. if your client is a politically connected or privileged individual, if your client mo, almost all my clients are under dogs and outside are so consequent still federal judge to trump, in the way presided over the trial. and despite all of that, they still couldn't find him guilty of the main accusation against him. so i think trump's people will take that as the only victory they could get, but it shows how bad our legal system is. the district of columbia, jerry, polls have proven that in a range of cases. and now new yorks, jerry polls are proving the same thing. trying a person that trumps notoriety in the jurisdiction that has a bunch of people that hate and makes no sense. i may call, but one of the jurors was a democrat, a registered democrat in new york city. that was a place that voted 90 percent against trump. that's not a place that could be impartial. it is, you know, the case was a crazy case. i see it was someone who had no witnesses to vouch for it. no independent eviden

the $5.75 has to do with the mark twain story.eaven. >> the bodies have been dead for varying periods of time. some look like 24 to 36 hours, others look like three days, three plus days. the first group went ahead with this plan. the second group assisted them and cleaned up after them and covered them with this red cloth after they had tied and the third team helped the second team and then they were finally down to two people who were not shrouded with these sheets. we believe they were the last ones. they did have plastic bags over their head. >> cause of death was asphyxiation by plastic bag. upstairs was the huge master bedroom and he was there alone in the king size bed. >> for the families, the victims' news of the suicide of the first they'd heard of their relatives for years. it was part of the heavens gate credo, no contact with outside family members. >> when you heard about what happened north of san diego, did you know immediately in. >> no, i didn't. a friend of mine called me at work and said you're not going to be

they put together, so said about this city mark twain is indeed one of the oldest cities in the world, and for all hindus, buddhists and jains, this city is as sacred as the vatican is sacred for a muslim woman for catholics . the exact age of voronase is unlikely to be known, but according to legend, it was founded by the lord shiva himself about 5,000 years ago, and this became the main reason for the hindu pilgrimage here. although buddhists have no less reason, this is the place where buddhism itself was born. yes, yes, it was literally on the territory of the temple that the buddha read his first sermon. they say it was right on the spot. here is this thing. you know, since when. it has been standing here since 249 bc. and that's it. this time in varanas the shrines were literally stabbed only by thousands of indian temples. here is one of the youngest mhatmata and dedicated to one of the youngest goddesses of hinduism, the mother of india , by the way, inside the temple there is a stone map of the country and all its holy places. you probably already noticed that varanasi in fac

really special, right >> honoring the sandman -- >> jimmy: yeah >> at the kennedy center for the mark twainver wears a suit >> jimmy: isn't it weird to see him in a suit kind of? >> it is weird because it kind of looks like he's just playing dress-up >> jimmy: yeah [ laughter ] >> and he -- he kind of just seems very uncomfortable >> he doesn't want to wear a a suit >> no, no. we had a dinner in -- we were in italy doing the first one and it was -- you know, a nice dinner we were invited to. and jackie looked beautiful in an eyelet dress. >> jimmy: his wife, yeah >> her hair was done jackie sandler, the amazing jackie sandler and he shows up in basketball shorts satin basketball shorts with white piping [ laughter ] and nike high tops, and a turquoise velour izod that had no relationship to the bottom [ laughter ] it was just -- but he kind of, you know, "vogue" did this "vogue," you know, basically give him the style icon, made him a style icon >> jimmy: they said? >> yes >> jimmy: they said because he's -- that's what his move forever. >> but now he can -- now it's his -- he's like, "'vog

there are such estimates condemning the genocides prominent public figures, including mark twain and conan share and in 1908 king leopold sold the congo to the belgian government, but the life of the congolese changed only in 1960, when the country received independence on may 2, 1930 , the construction of the gorky automobile plant, a giant of the soviet and russian automotive industry, began on that day , the forge shop of the ussr was in need of vehicles there were only 20,000 cars in the country, they were built under an agreement with ford motors, the difficulties were huge, there were not enough people in technology, and 80% of the work was done manually, but the plant was built in 18 months. for the first 5 years, gas produced a passenger car and a lorry truck according to american drawings, and the new production models became almost entirely soviet andrey lipgard and other designers assembled the famous emka model m1 during the war, gas produced military equipment, and already in the forty -sixth, the first victories came off the assembly line, then there were volga trucks o

helps as a practical matter, i, the mark twain is right if your client words by the book, when it comes to alice, it comes to privilege. people there been so many false accusations deal. i mean, that's one of the reasons we are on the brink of a nuclear war right now, but, you know, our 2 countries, and yet i don't remember anyone being prosecuted or convicted for authorized falls, quotes that content are contained in that. oh indeed. in fact, the one lawyer who was prosecuted was given a sweetheart deal. he never served the day in jail. his lo license was reinstated a year later. i mean, in this was someone who lied to the highest well to one of the highest chords in the land. the 4 intelligence surveillance activity court to allow mass mine to occur to allow a mass deception to occur. so it's our entire legal system has always had issues, but it's just coming to the bear it coming to the forefront as people witness it in live time. when it concerns trump. almost all the charges against trump are so overly and openly and brazenly political and partisan that nobody trusts them. and ther

as a practical matter, i, the mark twain is right. if your client is a politically connected or privileged individual, if your client mo, almost all my clients are under dogs and outside or so, consequently, any invitation to lunch would be declined. so consequently, my only choice is to be a good lawyer in cord. okay? so justice only works by the book when it comes to under dogs. but when it comes to privilege people, there is a whole set of rules, right? no doubt. and people are witnessing that on the american political right it's, it's been known on different segments of the american political spectrum over the last century or so. different people experienced the different times in our legal history. but now people on the what's a good, loosely call the political right, are seeing it and live time seeing how trump is treated. seeing the different standards seeing of the january 6 defendants are treated versus the summer of love, protest writers are treated there, witnessing and live time just how disparate and discriminatory, unfor

much alexander well , firstly, i will answer with the words of the well-known american classic mark twain premature death of russian shipbuilding or shipbuilding seemed, uh, greatly exaggerated. eh, in the sense that firstly, we very clearly separate shipbuilding, as the military part of our work, and civil shipbuilding. and, if we talk about the first. well actually. we are a member of the 11th year in the sanctions. we understood and understand what problems we will continue to face and for this all the necessary measures were provided at the state level. but i think that probably the best demonstration of our success is that, in general, since the twentieth year, we have been building nuclear submarines a year, building frigate carriages the minesweepers have reached the appropriate pace of work, and in general, we are not going to reduce it, because the year 23 should also be the year of the birth of raising the flags on our two flagships, firstly on another strategic nuclear ketone carrier. and there were problems on the multi-purpose submarine, which actually proved its capabilities

. >> when we interviewed you, we asked hypothetical question, mark twain and is there anybody you want to add? >> we have a lot of people here but not everyone who sees this today, they come down c and hear him read from the book, john adams in the book he read from last night, i love the idea of americans reading about our americanew heroes, heroes so i hope you will read that book but other american history books. we have great children's fighters here today the newberry award reading from his book. a number of storybook characters they could tell i was from the south because the future made with the big red dog. i hope people come. >> a look at laura bush, she unveils her portrait of the gallery only weeks before they left washington to return home to texas.

people that you would ask to be around your dinner table if you could the writers used to name mark twain, you named joyce to aski you name a tolstoy and willa cath or anybody you want to add to that table today? well, we've got a lot of great people here at this table and i hope everyone who sees this today on c-span who's anywhere in the area comes down. they can meet david mccullough. they can hear him read from his book. john adams his new book, which he read from last night. i love the idea of americans reading about our american heroes our his new book about our second president. it's so instructive to all of us. and and so i hope people will read that book, but i hope they'll also read a lot of other american history books. we have great children's writers here today chris curtis who was the first and mayor african-american to win the newberry ward is here. we reading from his book. we have a number of storybook characters. i said earlier. somebody told me they could tell i was from the south because i said you can get your picture made with clifford the big red dog. so i hope peop

he was the agent for mark twain. he was someone who could make or break a career and william howells had a great liking of. dunbar. he was captivated by dunbar, was able to capture, as i said before, the exposure ences and voices of those who were formerly enslaved. dunbar as well within the african-american community, had relationships with frederick douglass, who was a key. statesman of the 19th century, and he was of the premier figures, african-american political progress. also had a relationship with booker t washington, who was, i would say, foremost in the minds of many at that time, talking about how education particularly vocational education was a centerpiece for african-american pursuit of political opportunities and social opportunities. so dunbar and i think that was quite fascinating, was able to reach out to all of these esteemed figures in the american public sphere and. he was able to build relationships with them. and so these so you can imagine someone in his twenties who descended slaves, but he's

as a practical matter of the mark twain is right. if you.
