[applause] >> booktv risa visited capital to ask members of congress what they are reading this summer. >> i just finished reading this incredible book, pulitzer prize-winning book called the sympathizer by vietnamese refugee and it's a perfect day, perfect book to talk about for world refugee day. i'm not reading his second book called the refugees. they are just remarkable, you know, remarkable books to capture the complexity of a refugees life but also refugees that in the pin the united states as well as ones who go back. he does a really good job of capturing both pieces of that. those of two books that are front and cen

[applause] [inaudible conversations] >> within china the government keeps all kinds of information on people personal financial information. potentially healthcare information if a chinese company had access to millions of americans health records or banking records then that information could be used example for espionage purposes if they know who works in the state department or who owes a lot of money to the bank or who has four kids to go to college maybe that person is a better target them at the thought that national security leaders have been putting out there is that any time a chinese investor with a link to the chinese government has afoot in the supply chain to build artificial intelligence or robotics of the things

mary todd lincoln, martha washington, they were all criticized, and some of the nasty stuff that went on with hamilton and jefferson, we have a long history of it. we have a two-party system. they get all riled up and go after each other. but, in the end someone like nancy reagan comes along and she gives through it. she turned her image around. she did it for her husband. the criticism of her went from this to that. people started to recognize she was a woman of substance. >> every presidency is different there's always controversy about the book tonight so i haven't had a chance to read it i want you to talk her relationship with the white house resident staff. the reason that comes to mind is when i come from laura, the one time i got to meet nancy and the only time i ever met her was when nancy came back to the white house. >> before i had that party? >> yes. >> in the white house staff was giddy because they were going to have a chance to speak with her. it had been a number of years said she had been back. can you talk about the resident staff he transcends? >> the white house c

[ laughter ]>> h. >> seth: so did you play -- >> i've been on that date. >> seth: yeah, i thive all been on that date. [ laughter ] so you play a mossad agent. this is a film that takes place right after the fall of the berlin w>>l. orrect. >> seth: so you're -- we can tell in that clip you're pretending to be a ger businessman. and you think after doing this,t do ynk you would be a good spy in real life? because you're obviously very good with accentand dialects. >> no. i think i possibly if i was re uited straight out of hi school. [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah. you think it's too late? >> i think it's a little bit too late. >> seth: yeah. >> but at the same time, wasn't there a movie called "a dangerous mind." >> seth: oh, yeah.uy >> about aho was a very famous person, and at the same time, he was an undercover agent for the cia. >> seth: yeah, the chuck barris. >> yeah. >> seth: w

i recently spoke to martha hennessy and carmen trotta here at mary house, a catholic worker home herenew york. hennessy is the granddaughter of dorothy day, the founder of the catholic worker movement. carmen trotta helps run the st. joseph catholic worker house in new york. i spoke to them shortly before clare grady was released and put under house arrest. i began by asking martha about what they did when they entered the nuclear sub base. >> i was with my friends, seven of us. and we spent nearly two years discerning and praraying about what we could do. at we walked onto the base kings bay. not a well-known site. on behalf ofre people who couldn't do such a thing or take such an action. exposewalked there to the trident nuclear arsenal. symbolically disarmed the nuclear weapons. we were not anywhere near nuclear weapons. that group got a little bit closer to the bunkers. the booktially we left "the doomsday machine" on-site at the administrative machine at the strategic weapons facility of the atlantic. we posted an indndictment on the doors of the facility. manners that read the u

marie har harf. always good to see you, thank you for being here. >> of course. >> martha: it seems that what we arere is the same kind of back-and-forth that we witnessed with the north korean leader. we are now seeing with rouhani. what is wrong with pushing his buttons, given all that iran continues to carry out in the middle east? >> i think it's good to be tough on iran given what they are doing in the region. i agree with that but my question to president trump, first about the tweet, or else what? what is he threatening? i get it that he wants to talk tough. >> martha: the snapback for the sanctions is coming. >> i don't think he was tweeting about snapback spirit with all due respect to the president, it sounded like he was trying to be tough, but the bigger question i have is what is the plan? the president bawled out of the iran deal, pledging to negotiate and "better deal." to this point we have not seen any movement on negotiations. mike pompeo has been very focused on north korea. hasn't been as focused on iran. they pulled out of the iran deal and pledged a better policy and as of yet

martha: and there may be some reasons for that. thank you very much. good to see you tonight. drowning out, dr. alan mendoza, cofounder of the henry jackson society, and mariearf, former state department spokesperson. president trump essentially, marie, let me start with you, calling for a new world order in the post-world war ii, post-cold war era that we are all living in. he's essentially saying to the nations in europe and to the members of nato, you are on your own. you've got to pull your weight, you have to pay into this alliance and you should think twice about entering into these deep economic connection relationships between germany and russia. >> martha, what he said today that you just described, going after our allies very publicly berating them, basically going after the post-world war ii transatlantic alliance that has underpinned so much of our can could security. it is hurtful to u.s. national security and we don't have allies -- we don't sign up to nato and contribute to our nation because we are being nice to european countries. we do it because we have shared security interests and shared values. donald trump is sending a signal both to

. >> martha: one of the interesting things about hardiman is that he served on the third district court will mary it. if she has recommended this person and he has some familiarity with the trump family? >> i know president trump will consider a lot of factors. i can't read his mind enough to know that factor. what he is probably looking for most of all is a good personal fit. so there are reports he has had good interviews with all four of these candidates. i think that he really likes generals if you look at his chief of staff general john kelly. the generals he has supported and relied on for advice. i think he likes a warrior. i think he will be looking for the toughest candidate. >> martha: thank you very much. >> bill: very interesting. secretary of state mike pompeo some sharp words for north korea after pyongyang called his style gangster-like. what is going on here? general jack keane is on deck to break that down. ♪motorcycle revving ♪ motorcycle revving ♪ no matter who rides point, ♪ there are over 10,000 allstate agents riding sweep. ♪♪ and just like tyrone taylor, they know what it t
