brian: so you like martin luther king, jr.? david: oh! dr. is the formative influence in my life, and i am deeply grateful for my immersion in his teachings and thought, and i try to have that informed the way i lead my life every day. brian: i want to put on the screen three pictures of three women. the general overall questions, and you can see this on the screen. alex mcnair in 1981 with her classmates, genevieve cook in 1984 and 1985, and sheila jager from 1986 to 1988. what influence did these women have on his life? including his mother, grandmother, and his wife. david: i believe one of the most striking things with barack's own memoir is the almost complete absence of women from that book. barack himself, even back in the 1990's, spoke with regret about how he pretty much left his mother out of that book. in the book there is one composite girlfriend, a mixture of some alex, some genevieve, some sheila. but these were all very important relationships in his life. the genevieve relationship and especially the sheila jager relationship

it has been said that the true genius of martin luther king jr. was not his ability to argue the an oppressed people, but his ability to inspire those very people to be loving and civil in their dissent. we should treat each other with civility, not because we agree with others but because it is a measure of our respect for human dignity. people,at we owe all including those with whom we have fierce disagreements. our institutions, our culture, our communities cannot be sustained, let alone thrive if civility is eroded. it is an essential democratic virtue. [applause] kingman brewster, a former president of the lsat "the presumption of innocence is not just a legal concept. in commonplace terms, and wraps on the generosity of spirit which assumes the best, not the worst of a stranger." my encouragement to you is to be the women and men who embody civility, who demonstrate a generosity of spirit in an ungenerous time, and assume the best, not the worst of the stranger, of those you do not know. enter making the world in a dramatically different way

you have known and the stories you tell your friends with him, gerald and jackie kennedy and martin luther king jr spent with doctor king supporting and helping to raise money for the civil rights movement. >> that's because of bill fontae. he told me to do it. i fought a war. when we told me what was going on with racial prejudice, i decided to go with him. that's the only time i took a march and it changed my lif life -- it is funny. >> i have got to say its got to be looking back of your life for all that you accomplished musically. when the country really needed you, you stepped up and did your part in the civil rights movement. >> thank you. it was harry bill described to me some of the tragedies that peop people were being treated and when i heard that -- at first i said i don't want to fight. i don't want to fight anymore. >> if you need my help, i will be there and you showed up. >> he told me what was really going on and i said i will go with you. we took that walk. >> you have been a good friend to a lot of people over the years and the stories of this book under scores that. and you hav

government doesn't save martin luther king jr.. government doesn't save robert kennedy, senator robert kennedy. in the 70s government can't win the vietnam war, can't stop hyperinflation, can't stop high interest rates, government can't stop gas lines. it seems carter runs in 76, was an outsider and was not wedded to the idea of big government. he will clean up washington, go after the corruption, cut taxes. he is more of a populist almost conservative who sees that people are frustrated in the 70s, don't believe government is working for them anymore but carter attacks from somewhat the left but not really. reagan is on the right which is why they emerge as the most interesting candidate in 1976. reagan loses the nomination to gerald ford by 69 delegates, 2269 cast in kansas city. for a lot of reasons. the mississippi delegation. the ohio delegation, the new york delegation, reagan is convinced ford is not stolen the nomination but not won legitimately and we are down to the weeds but this wets reagan's appetite to run again even

back then that was pretty shocking, perhaps most infamously the fbi bugged martin luther king, jr.'s hotel room in order to get evidence of extra marital affairs and get to commit suicide. that rule was that intelligence and law enforcement agencies could not collect information about americans unless they had individualized fact-base suspicion of illegal activity. depending on how intrusive the surveillance were, they had to get a washington or a subpoena but at the minimum there had to be reasonable suspicion of wrong doing. the foreign intelligence surveillance act was one of these laws. if there was an american on one end of the communication, the government had to apply to a special court. by the way, if it was foreign to foreign, they didn't. this was a protection for americans. americans on one end, they had to do to the fisa court and show probable cause this the target was a foreign power of an agent of a foreign power and if the american was the target that involved some criminal activity based on the definitions to have statute. idea of all of the laws was that government

minister was a young martin luther king jr.. it was a letter opener. >> hello. about cultural outlier. i'm a recent immigrant from a country where we have public health care system. i want if you can help me understand why it is such a cultural abnormality. hour?you have an [laughter] the best way to put it is to say that america has always had public hospitals. particular,s in religious hospitals, voluntary hospitals really began to take over. now we have for-profit hospitals. what a for-profit hospital means is there are a bunch of people who invest in it and they do not get any tax breaks. tax exemptions like a public hospital or even a voluntary splital, but they get to up the profits. a voluntary hospital would be something like tissue hospital -- tisch hospital. that is a voluntary hospital. it also has to spend a certain amount of its time and energy and finances helping the poor. then you have public hospitals which basically gets city money, federal money. there are no donors. at other hospitals and they have this building and that, but we are a public

and we went through the 60s and this period of horrible assassinations from martin luther king jr.nd robert f kennedy,, malcolm x, kent state and all these other cases. in my lifetime there's never been anything like this. they will not accept this president as duly elected. and i don't think it stops at all. your thoughts. >> first of all, what you did was just the overpowering. that is a lot of material, and it's a lot of vivid proof where people are looking at the actual film. you're not making anything up. you're sharing with them the film. so i do think that at a minimum, this resembles the late 60s, early 70s, the end of the vietnam war. the counterculture, the free speech movement all the things thatth came together to create turmoil not period. i think t this is different. i think the frenzy on the left is deeper and more rapid than it was. i think there is strength in hollywood and the newsroom and campuses is bigger than it was. it's a real fight. posting at the very beginning when you were describing "the washington post" story, it may be that the deputy attorney general

government doesn't save martin luther king jr. government met doesn't send robert kennedy. then in the 70s government can't remove the vietnam war or stop hyperinflation or stop high interest rates, government can't stop gas lines. it seems that -- carter runs in 76 as basically an outsider and was not okay with the idea ofhe heg government. he's a reformer and would clean up washington. he though after the corruption and will cut taxes. he's really much more of aa populist, almost a conservative who sees that people are frustrated in the 70s. we don't believe government is working for them anymore but reagan sees this and carter attacks it from somewhat of the left but not really. reagan is on the right which is why they emerged as the two most interesting candidates of 1976.6 reagan could come to the convention, lose the nominationt for gerald ford and by delegate votes of 269 in kansas city. for a lot of reasons the mississippi delegation, the ohio delegation, the new york delegation, reagan is convinced that ford has not stolen the nomination but not one legitimately en

the fbi bugged martin luther king jr.'s hotel rooms in order to get evidence of extra marital affairs it then used to try to blackmail him into committing suicide. congress and the department of justice responded to the church committee's revelations by putting in place a number of laws and policies that established a kind of golden rule. and that rule was that intelligence and law enforcement agencies could not collect information about americans unless they had individualized fact-based suspicion of illegal activity. depending on how intrusive the surveillance was, might have to get a warrant or they might have to get a subpoena but at a minimum they there had to be reasonable suspicion of wrong doing. the foreign intelligence surveillance act is one of these laws. if the federal government acting inside the united states wanted to collect communications for foreign intelligence purposes and if there was an american on one end of the communication, the government had to apply to a special court. by the way, if it was for

let me get this straight -- martin luther king jr., who i admire greatly, was a republican i believe.he first act against segregation, the first policy against segregation was but dwight d. eisenhower. or 1959 when he sent federal troops to little rock, arkansas to make sure black people -- young black men and -- a highet into and school or college, i forget. all of this nonsense and hate against donald trump is ridiculous. host: we have this tweet from post, -- a facebook rather, she says hillary clinton should help in the 2018 election, grassroots organization, let the truth come out of the robert mueller investigation, a well-thought-out plan and executed smear campaign which involve criminal activity now being covered up by many, hate is a powerful force and it has been unleashed. from new york on the independent line. caller: good morning, how are you doing? thank you for c-span and taking my call. let's put it this way, i think -- i hear a lot of anger or hatred for hillary. i did not love her but i thought of all the actions we had, she was the best one most people had. democra
