joining me "washington post" national security correspondent, greg miller and urban mck mccullough. he represents whistleblowers within the intelligence community. gentlemen, thank you very much. greg, talk to me about what steps congressional democrats are trying to take in order to keep this whistleblower's identity a secret. >> they're considering some elaborate and unusual measures. it's worth reminding your viewers these committees meet in secret. they don't meet in closed session. it's not access bable to the public, but that's not seen as good enough in this case. so they're trying to make arrangements in which the whistleblower would be in a different location. would appear by video from that location. his face and voice likely obscured. and they would have to confirm his identity for the participants in the hearing by having somebody who knows him. the inspector general of the intelligence community would be present on the other side and can vouch to the members that yes, this is is whistleblower that came forward. this is the individual who filed that complaint. >> can the

to her left is irvin mccullough, national security analyst for the government accountability project specializing in intelligence community and military whistle blowing. he supports legislation and litigation within the national security program. now, you're probably wondering, okay, that's all greating but when are you going to talk about the whistleblower and president trump? we're going to get to that. but this whole issue of whistleblowers and the scope of it, the number of them that we have seen over the decades in our society is very much a societal phenomenon. it encompasses government, the private sector and the nonprofit community. so before i will put tom in the hot sweet, i'd like to ask -- hot seat. i'd like to ask our panel, i want to start with marianne. you have written and lectured on corporate ethics or the lack thereof depend upon the circumstances for decades now. and your book, the seven signs of ethical collapse, you can't google or use duck duck go or anything else without that book coming out. so it's obviously had an enormous impact. walk us through, essential

i will have ron chernow or david mccullough, and members of congress are like schoolchildren or theyve read them, they want to get their books signed by the authors like anyone else, and they care about american history. ahistorical? are we losing our history? -- of gum -- our 75% of americans cannot name the three branches of government at 49 out of 50 states, citizens who are nativeborn cannot pass the citizenship test that naturalized americans have to pass to become citizens. in our country, the nativeborn citizens cannot pass it we do not teach civics anymore in high school, and we do not teach american history very much. if you don't know the past, you might make the same mistakes we have made in the past because you do not know about those mistakes. know the david, you past because you have written this book where you interview great master historians. what other great parallels between your interviews and the history of the u.s. and what we are living at the moment in washington? times we always say that in washington are the worst we have ever seen and people say it is terri
