so in order to keep the masses on message, so to speak, in order to keep the masses fighting for the revolution they need a communist party. and this idea is at the heart of culture under stalin as well. the party's role is to make a spontaneous masses grow up, in other words, two is a revolutionary consciousness into the. and that's why stone and the congress party, the soviet union were always depicted as fatherly teacher figures. and as you can see from this picture, what do you think is the focal point here in the picture? what part of stalin's face are you supposed to be looking at? the eyes, rite aid because the eyes are the symbol of his unique mastery of dialectical mattila's and. where as in korea in north korea the believe was and is that the korean people should remain naÏve. it's only logical if you are born pure, if you are born better than everyone else you don't need to be tampering your instinct with book learning. that way you will only dilute them. so it's better for the people to stay true to their pure instincts, for which reason can ill song and the workers party

this part of mass avenue has fencing there. it looks like a shorter fence, maybe four or five feet high. let's take you to video. as you were talking about maureen, there is going to be traffic issues here tomorrow. d.c. police and federal authorities have set up checkpoints around this area. what you really need to keep in mind if you travel through this area that tonight at 10:00 this place is basically going to be shut down. we show you that map earlier. remember, if you use major routes like ninth street to get to work you won't be able to do that monday and tuesday. also if you typically use the mount vernon other than metro station you won't be able to after 9:00 p.m. today until the summit is over. trains will pass through the tunnel there, but no passengers are getting on and off. >> if your normal commute takes you past the convention center and you don't do anything to prepare for that, then you might be in for some trouble on monday morning. we're really trying to get the word out to people about the street closures

mass imprisonment, mass incarceration constitutes a racial caste system. and the entrance to this new caste system can be found at the prison gate. is that what you mean by that metaphor? >> yes. absolutely. the entrance into this new caste system can be found at the prison gate, because that is when you are branded. once you are branded a felon, right? your life as you knew it before is over. all the forms of discrimination that are illegal for the rest of the country, now can be practiced against you with impunity, you know? i think it's important to recognize, though, that there are white people who have been harmed by the drug war. there are white families, particularly poor white families that have been shattered by the incarceration of loved ones. the drug war was declared with black folks in mind, and mass incarceration as we know it would not exist but for the racialization of crime in the media and in our political discourse. but just because african americans have been the target of this war doesn't mean that people of all colors haven't suffered

when we asked mass mutual for a clarification today, they sent us this statement. which is classic. "we are one of many financial institutions that have discussed the proposed financial regulatory reform bill with senator brown." we asked them to clarify. and like add some details. that's it, that is all they would give us. at least they got back to us. cannot say the same thing for senator brown. we also called his office for the clarification of one fifth of massachusetts bankers will lose their job. they asked what show we were calling from, we told them and they never called us back. it is not anything new with us. they never, ever call us back about anything. like a teenager in love we shall wait by the phone patiently, impatiently, whatever. at this point, we are excited to find out what he is going to make up next. joining us is chris hayes. washington editor of "the nation" magazine. chris, thank you for joining us tonight. good to see you. >> good to see you, too, rachel. >>> what happened to the unified opposition to wall street reform? >> i'm not quite sure it was as stro

a lot more needs to be done before there is a successful attack on mass transit. host: this is bill honor democrats line. caller: how many israelis are on the no-fly list because of dubai, when they sent their factions to kill palestinians. it seems to me that israel is the number 1 terrorist nation on the planet. host: are there more than just suspected arab terrorist? of other terrorist from different countries? includes people in the united states and from all over the world who there is reason to believe post a threat to aviation. the key is whether they post a threat to aviation. >> if an american ends up on the no fly list, how do you get off? >> there is a redress procedure. you can apply to prove that you are not the person they think you are. part of that redress procedure needs work. it's very, very difficult, everyone says to actually get off the list and be able to convince the government. part of the problem is that these lists are name based. there are a lot of people with the same or similar names around the world. that's particularly true in the ar

the warm air mass to the south and the cooler air mass up to the north. that came through here. today, we'll see more showers line up and some thunderstorms roughly the same area although i think we could see a few more across the washington area as the afternoon progresses. so forecast for today looks like this. a lot of clouds around today. during the course of the morning, a couple of showers possible again particularly north and west steeft. during the afternoon, some more rainfall and some thunderstorms possible. our average high for today is 70 degrees. that is what we're looking for for a high. for tonight, the evening showers and thunderstorms lingering around the area. overnight showers, breezy, 52 degrees for your overnight low. your five-day forecast looks like this. tomorrow, 64 for your high so we'll see below normal temperatures for a couple of days. we dry out the latter part of tuesday and then wednesday and thursday. friday night or into saturday, we could see more showers develop once again. now, let's got an update on traffic. for that, we have charlie mack in
