mccullough. >> thank you, mr. mccullough, for your efforts. i read that the japanese knowing we had the bomb, wanted to surrender. but in order to save face, could not surrender to the united states. and trying to do so through russian conduit. and the russians boarded this effort. is there any truth to that? mr. mccullough: some. it was not a consequence. -- of consequence. our relations with russia were tenuous at best. they did not trust us. we did not trust them. truman, at that point, had more trust in stalin then he should have. truman like people and did not see what a monster stalin was. but he did not make decisions based on what he thought about stalin. but no, i do not think so. it was a decision that had to be made. best that it was made. in the long run, we are all the beneficiaries. however, that does not mean we should not ever debate it or discuss it or consider moral issues involved. we should never not consider moral issues. i would say that even if i were not sitting here. whoever said war is hell -- who was it -- sheridan,

david mccullough. [applause] mccullough: thank you. thank you. thank you very much. i want to thank the university first of all, for the honor of taking part in this program. this series. and thank all of you for coming out on such a fabulous day. i just got here from boston. [laughter] so you know how thankful i am. one of the clearest lessons of history is that there is no such thing as a self-made man or a self-made woman. and that almost everything of value is accomplished as a joint effort. very rarely does anybody ever do anything alone. and i know that from personal experience because in my career, beginning back in the time when john kennedy was president, i have been assisted in every way professionally in my work by my editor in chief and my, the star i steer by, my wife rosalie. and i would like her to stand up and let you -- right down here. [applause] we have five children and 19 grandchildren. and she's mission control. [laughter] and secretary of the treasury. and the best dancer i have ever danced with in my life. i would like to just start with a cou

on 41st street and lexington avenue, the heart of midtown manhattan, 21-year-old gregory mccullough,ollege student and part-time tow truck driver, and his passenger, judith bailey, are stopped at a traffic light. they are in the wrong place at the wrong time. >> we were just having a casual conversation about, you know, life and things, our aspirations. the next thing you know, i hear boom. >> a surveillance camera shows what happened. the top of the screen, out of nowhere, the street explodes as if a giant bomb goes off. >> you could see absolutely a terrorized expression on all these people's faces because they didn't know what it was. they probably thought it was a bomb in the subway system. >> with september 11th never far from new yorkers' minds, many think the explosion is another terrorist attack. >> yeah, you think it's terrorism. that's the first thought that goes through anybody's mind. >> people run for cover as the dirt, rocks and asphalt blasts into the sky and rains down. and after the explosion, a nonstop gigantic geyser of steam shoots up nearly 80 stories, an incredi

david mccullough' spoke at florida atlantic university. this is 90 minute. >> i want to take this opportunity to thank you for coming. it is wonderful to see the high school students and teachers. ask any history professor to ask what -- to tell you why he or she chose to be an historian, and i'm sure you'll hear a story about a history teacher in high school. although i did never know alan b larkin, i am aware of his legacy. look around. it is because of his love and passion for history and in particular the american presidency that we are here today. born in 1922 he was part of a generation that made a lot of history. they fought a great world war. they suffered through a cold war in which the soviets like to joke to their counterparts the future is certain. the past is unpredictable. alan's generation advanced our civil rights, and quietly instill the virtues of self-sacrifice in my generation. those who are still what is that even learned the vocabulary of their grandchildren beard they have learned words like e-mail skype, text, tweet

this is just a total waste of someone's life. >> despite his pessimism, mccullough had found a productiveexpress his pain. ♪ they say it's raining in denver ♪ ♪ that it's really kind of cold but i'm just pulling time in nashville ♪ ♪ how am i supposed to know ♪ >> in a prison in nashville the home of country music, we decided it would be great if we could find a country singer, and so we kind of made a callout to the other inmates and officers and they came up with mcculloch and he turned out to be pretty good. ♪ said she never talked about me ♪ ♪ how it never did seem right ♪ ♪ i've been pulling time in nashville ♪ ♪ wasting days and wasting nights ♪ >> writing music in prison is just my life. i don't sit down to write a song. something hits me and my best songs come with about two minutes and about two or three minutes i have an excellent song. and i wrote "pulling time in nashville at the walls" which is tennessee state prison, which is shut down now. ♪ here the families come and see me ♪ ♪ they can spare some of the time ♪ >> i let my feelings out in my songs and i wrote old-time coun

my question is i'm curious whether or not she's going to take a lesson from the mccullough school ofrguson and do it all in a very transparent way. you know it used to be you would never here about that. now since mccullough did it i'm wondering if she'll now take on the task of saying it's going to a grand jury we're going to record everything, we'll have everything available to you, so whatever the decision is from the grand jury you will know about it. but we know it's going to be tough to get indictments on cops along the board. and in a case like this unless there is a true criminal activity that's shown, it's going to be difficult. and if it doesn't come she better be able to explain herself for the grand jury. >> the difference though is is baltimore city is predominantly african-american. so i would assume the grand juries would be made up of mostly african-americans. won't that make a difference? who don't trust police in baltimore city. i'm talking generally about african-americans. >> that's why, people who defended the grand jury in ferguson and in other places because it

indications he may toss out a lawsuit by activists seeking an independent investigation into robert mccullough'sdling of the case. may be unnecessary since the justice department reached the same conclusion adds the grand jury. the grand jury did not indict a white officer who shot and killed brown. >>> in the days ahead, part of an all-day symposium on the national mall. leaders will talk about race relations as well as the use of police force. and in virginia alcoholic beverage control officers will soon have a special panel o answer to. governor terry mcauliffe will review abc law enforcement practices. he created it after the violent arrest of the uva student last month. mcauliffe reported 20 people to that panel and they'll meet for the first time come may 4th. >>> so you drive through rush hour you've got to sit through all that. well now you might have to pay for it. the plan could make a big difference for traffic, but it could also cost you. i talked to some people who could be directly affected by congestion pricing in our area. >> reporter: for this full-time uber and car service driv

folks still care most leadership historically has come out of the mccullough homes housing projects off of pulaski street. folks may have moved out to ash burton but they can still come back to the heart of west baltimore tomorrow. and that's what's needed. >> i would make a proposal that any employers who have employees who live in baltimore, any parents who might have school aged kids tomorrow is an impromptu take your kid to workday. >> as somebody who runs the baltimore office of an investment firm i've said to my staff, we're all going down to the church because that's where we need to be tomorrow. we can handle our investments the next day or next week. >> baltimore institutions need to grow new legs really fast for this challenge. ben jealous, naacp, currently a partner. thanks for being here. >> we have much more to come from baltimore and some of the other news including a report from richard engel about rescue efforts following the earthquake in nepal. incredible footage. stay with us. ut zero-turn mowers. click. scroll. tweet. or you could just sit on a john deere z435 eztrak

though the african american community may be less krnd with this prosecutor than they were with mcculloughtill remains of whether or not we need to have an independent prosecutor to come in and look at this case completely independently. in this case as i said in ferguson we should have an independent prosecutor. >> so you think that's the way to go. at this point they've made their decision. they're not going to change it right? >> no. i think she's going to do a great job. here's why i think so. she already has five years of experience as a trial prosecutor. that's great. she also know shse's in the public eye. in ferguson i was encouraged by the fact that they found an additional stop of the van. here's why. if law enforcement is doing that good of a job of gathering the information that they went all around the whole path of that van, then hopefully we're going to see the thousands and thousands of pages we saw in ferguson and we're going to have a complete investigation that we all can look at. >> let's hope that we do. that was one of the issues in ferguson. i want to go straight to

mccullough? >> you can. >> i don't have much to say substantively about the case, but i did just want to thank the jury for the verdict. it's obviously been a long trial and it was quite, i'm sure an inconvenience for them in their lives to commit this kind of time. we felt we had their attention every day, both the prosecution and the defense. fairly considered the evidence. they've returned a verdict that's supported by that evidence. so we're very grateful for their commitment and odin lloyd's family these ladies here who you saw sitting in the front row every day, they were committed to seeing this thing through and for trusting in the process and trusting that the jury would deliver a fair verdict and i think they're very satisfied with that. we're very grateful and actually drew strength from their commitment be to show up every day and let the process play out as it would. so i'm very grateful for the jury and also as you will recall when we started the case we had just lost our district a

. >> gary: there was in grumbling that the sharks may have made a move to replace mccullough as coachmily about his future before deciding on what to do and the team apparently, says we are still deciding. >> gary: a little bit here on what did not go down today. >> the answers as you are looking for today i would not be able to get get to euchred we need more time. we are done right now right? >> (laughter) >> gary: he is pretty cold creek for a guy that may or may not be back. --pretty cool. >> i have no idea. he left to talk to his family. we will see what happens. >> gary: just reading between the lying spirit i spoke with a longtime sports observer and a mistake was made he was not saying hey the team is important as my family he was trying to say that he loved mcclellan in go on on from there. >> gary: we are a family here. we do have family at home and there will always be there. now say the station should come first but i know that certain people will be there for me to read for somehow or some way, if we drop if something happened and i spilled over. dan would move my feet ou

marjorie clifton, principal for clifton consulting, kevin mccullough is ceo of extramedia, and good morningblem canceling this in the first place? >> absolutely. bill: did the school make the right call bringing it back then? >> they did, they rectified it, but they absolutely made the wrong call to begin with. less than 1% of the students on campus that signed the petition you're talking about a significant piece of theatrical art, and you're talking about some of the greatest issues shaping our time. canceling this the showing of this film demonstrates why so many people find the university experience increasingly useless. normally, people would have said, hey, let's show this and have a debate about it. let's let middle eastern study professionals come in and let the campus be the place where free speech really does take place. instead we're afraid of litigation, whatever outside influences happen -- bill: marjorie, what's wrong? did you have a problem with it? or did you want it to be shown or not in ann arbor? >> this is a really tough issue because there is that push and pull between

you saw that very well with one of my favorite books which is by david mccullough on truman.the fact that truman was such a forthright guy a bold guy, called it like it is and at the same time was able to take action decisively as president to stop world war ii by bombing japan, to create a whole structure for dealing with the cold war and containing the soviet union. this is so basic that, of course, we should look at character. and yet, again, we, when we are engaged in elections when the media talks about who's ahead, who's behind, character is pretty much ignored. another example with hillary is there was this discussion when her book came out last june is she disconnected from real people because she's well? well, that's a ridiculous proposition to begin with, you know? is bill gates disconnected from people because he's wealthy? was andrew carnegie disconnected from people, didn't care about people because he was wealthy in of course not. it's a non sequitur. but what is important is how she actually treats people, and that is that she treats them like dirt. >> host: ro

in mccullough. and the pictures i think you've shown tell the whole story.s 500 miles east of sanaa, it holds an important geographical position. and there should be more attention being paid there. but having said that because of all the things that are going on both in iraq and in yemen at the present time and in syria things are so spread out, there's a vacuum that aqap is filling and it is a very dangerous situation for us. >> yeah that's mukallah not only the air field, the air base they've taken over, but that's where a prison was emptied out of a lot of al qaeda and other terrorists as well so you're right on that. here's a question you're a member of the intelligence committee, i wonder how good the u.s. intelligence is less than year ago, president obama called yemen a place where the u.s. counterterrorism strategy was working. you think he's getting bad intelligence bad information? he also called isis the jv team. he gets a daily intelligence briefing. is the intelligence community up to it? you get those briefings as well. >> i'm sure he gets the

one he is making exhortation to paraphrase chief justice marshall in mccullough versus marylander we must never forget it is constitution, not doctrinal framework we're expound you. put another way stevens is admonishing applying doctrinal complex frameworks the supreme court should not lose sight of it is obligation to make formative judgments about the meaning of our constitutional commitments including those to equality. on this view stevens is worried that the court is forgetting, that the constitution and indulging the lawyerly yen to develop a complex doctrinal framework. okay? worse yet, they may be using doctrinal frameworks to obfuscate the need for or the fact of normative judgments that can not be reduced to application of bright line rules. okay. now, second and related i think justice stevens is making an exhortation about the form or structure that doctrine should take it. should take the form of standards, not bright line rules or rigid rules. and i note that this is a general feature of his jurisprudence. for example he might just as well have written there is only on
