the book documents the modern values' from the onset of the modern era to it's winding down. roughly from 49 the to 1940. individualism began with the cumin as some of the late renaissance, vitalism with requests of the baroque era. and the curiosity of the enlightenment and self expression with the romantic period. this cultural heritage belong to the world, certainly to all western nations but it is implicit in the book that some of the nation's did not fully assimilate it into their life, into the values they act upon. ultimately severe reactions to modern economy set in, the fluctuations and disparities in income is and even in prospects typical of modern economy and the endemic unemployment led to socialist opposition. some nations move part of the way to a socialist economy, more planning and more state ownership in a step toward stability, equality and greater employment. generally speaking, spoke of greater development of people's capacity to produce but showed no consideration or awareness of the deeper bowls of individuals, the non material rewards deriving from a l

i'm intrigued by the word modern, is this a new phenomenon? did this person not exist a few decades ago? >> no, this ideology has actually existed since john clouseau. something stunning changed post- world war ii, leaving up to it again -- leading up to it. from the dawn of time, until just before i was born, every human being had to avoid disease, hunger, poverty, and physical pain. by the time i came of age, polio was vanquished, the chickenpox was a gift, disease was vanquished. hunger, by the time i came of age, find a dollar in the street, and you can eat ramen noodles for three days. poverty, is so nonexistent and america they had to invent a whole new terminology to define what poverty is. poverty being something that kings and czars and folks of your would have happily traded for. hot and cold running water, showers, disposals, televisions, cars. post-world war ii, you did not have to be smart, because this there was nothing horrible that could happen to an idiot. they were called the hippies.

the question is where do we go back to find modern american conservatism? the conventional wisdom is you go to the 1950s. russell kirk, a very conservative political philosopher, william f. but we in the 1950s, national review magazine was launched during the 50s and so the conventional wisdom is that's where you find the beginning of modern conservatism. and then amity shlaes this year wrote i think a very interesting book on calvin coolidge and he proposed we have to go further to the 1920s because calvin coolidge was the beginning of modern american conservatism. i saw her a week or so ago and i said you have really launched a coolidge's cool movement. i said that probably wasn't easy to do. he is not really a 21st century kind of guy. gordon and i in this book think the place to go is to the 1930s. in our few modern american conservatism is essentially response to the new deal of the 1930s to franklin roosevelt. and to us, the conservative response of the 1930s was the beginning of modern american conservatism. that response initially came from former p

individual's liberty was the essence of modern conservatives and. when herbert hoover started speaking out against the new deal, his book, speeches were called challenges to liberty. so conservatives historically are defending economic religious and political liberty. that's the heart of conservatism. the question is, does liberty still resonate with people today? has liberty become an abstraction to people that really is that kind of part of their daily lives? i live in california, obviously. when my wife and i were discussing the redesign in our home, i said i needed new shower head at this one is caught. well, we can't get that kind of showerhead because that is illegal here in california. i said well, i want these kind of knobs. we can't have those either. those are not permitted where we live. is that if i can't have a shower, maybe i'm overregulated. it was one of those moments where the party wasn't an for me. i've got a problem. if you live in new york city, there is a time when it looked like you could buy a 15-ounce soft drink. you could a

for edmund burke, individual liberty was the essence of modern conservatives. when herbert hoover started speaking out against the new deal, the speeches were called the challenge to liberty. that's how he saw the new do, a challenge to individual freedom. conservatives historic or what conservatives are about is economic, religious and political views. that's really the heart of conservatism. but the question is, does liberty still resonate? has liberty become just a distraction to people that isn't part of their daily life? i live in california obviously, and when my wife and i were discussing some redesigning our home, and i said, i need a new shower head. this one is clogged up, i would like a more powerful one. we can't get that kind of showerhead because it's illegal here in california. i said, well, but i want these kind of knobs. no, we can't have those. those are not permitted. i said, if i can't have my shower, maybe i'm overregulating. it was one of those moments where liberty wasn't a distraction for me. i can't get my shower so i've got a problem.

how the modern media thinks. he spoke with a conservative forum in silicon valley in early january. >> good evening, everybody. happy new year. i'm admitting right up front that i am taking the easy way out tonight with my introduction for tonight's guest speaker, evan sayet. there is no reason for me to invent the wheel when i can refer to comments made by 3/10 -- three respected conservatives. david horwitz says that he is simply the best political comedian working in america today. about his book, bill whiddle says, perhaps the most important book i have read in the past 10 years. last but not least, andrew breitbart describing a lecture from the heritage foundation says this, one of the five most important conservative speeches ever given. by the way, this talk at heritage was the single most seen lecture and the heritage foundation's history. in his latest talk, again delivered to the heritage foundation and 2013, evan talks about his unified field theory of liberalism to show how and why the mainstream medi

you used then, term modern liberal several times. wordntrigued by the modern, is this a new phenomenon? did this person not exist a few decades ago? >> no, this ideology has soually existed since john? -- john clouseau. changed post-ning up to it ii, leaving again -- leading up to it. untilhe dawn of time, just before i was born, every human being had to avoid disease, hunger, poverty, and physical pain. by the tape -- time i came of -- polio bank wished was think west, the chickenpox was a gift, disease was vanquished. hunger, by the time i came of age, find a dollar in the street, and you can eat ramen noodles for three days. poverty, is so nonexistent and america they had to invent a whole new terminology to define what poverty is. poverty being something that kings and czars and folks of your would have happily traded for. hot and cold running water, showers, robert disposals, televisions, cars. ii, you did not have to be smart, because this -- there was nothing horrible that could happen to an idiot. they were called the hippies

modern liberalism is the antithesis of judaism. it was the first time we had a just god that expected us to be just people. a call for justice, not vengeance. the punishment shall not exceed the crime. liberals don't want justice, which is why they assert that insert a modifier before the word. it is something they do over and over again to make sure we support the opposite. truth matters. it is important to be correct, but not when you are a liberal. they entered the modifier politically before correct and become the opposite. women who are the majority are the minority because they put the modifier of oppressed. jews are not a minority, social justice is the opposite of justice. the more jewish you are by knowledge, practice, and education with the more -- less likely you are to vote democrat because democrats despise the concept of justice. [applause] >> before i get to the next question, i guess you and i are both plopping jews that vote republican. we are an elite group. what is your view on glenn beck and his efforts to bring

before i get into "a patriot's history of the modern world, vol. ii" i should announce features his 30 of united states is in its ten-year anniversary this year. it's just amazing to me that was 10 years ago but this book came out and it was 15 years ago that i was working on it. nevertheless the publishers decided to release the special anniversary edition later this year probably in november so all winter i have been up dating patriots history of united states and editing it to bring it up to the presence so that it's been fun. this book came at patriots history of united states. before some of these other books i was thinking about doing a history of the world. one of my favorite oaks of all time is paul johnson's book modern times. not only is it a great study of history but it's wonderfully written and i thought i want to be able to do that for world history. i would like to be able to tell the story of the whole world that way. i've been thinking about this book for a long time and when david came into the picture he seemed like a perfect co-

modern world" mike and i gave it a shot of me came up with three things that we thought defined america. but in looking back we refined back and we doubt we didn't really quite hit it. so we identified what we think our are four pillars of american exceptionalism. first is a predominantly christian religion, mostly profit -- protestant but are nominally christian mostly protestant religious background. that doesn't mean that's where we are now and it doesn't mean that's where we were in the late 1800's but it's where we start. it was not a buddhist nation. it was not a hindu nation. it was primarily a christian nation when founded in its documents were all drafted without specifically in mind. .. overtime thanks to napoleon and large part, civil rights certainly throughout the middle east, parts of asia even and today i can't think of another common law country that's out there aside from the united states and britain, if you still want to include england in that. it's a free market economy i think we all agreed the united states pretty much has had a capitalistic free-market economy. b

in fact, there are many attempts to modernize. they've kept on many of the modernization products started by the shah building a subway system in teheran, building new new development projects. i think that their focus, their hatred was channeled against the west. it was the westernization that was synonymous with modernization that so turned them off. and there are still many sides of life where iranians are approachable. they're open -- life for women is better in iran than it is in many of the gulf sheikdoms with which we have good relations. there are women in parliament; there are women in the ministries; 51 percent of teheran university a year ago was accounted for by women students. so it's not what is good or bad about iran; it's a different culture, and it's... i think, unfortunately, one of the problems in the west is that we tend to look at things if they're like us, they're good, and if they're not like us, they're bad. and i found things that were comfortable for me, as a westerner, and things that were unusual. c-spa

fold arising society is a part of the modern liberal agenda. why? for the full answer, watch that full video. even better, read my book. as that talk was going viral, one million people have now seen it. that is unheard of. as the talk was going viral, i , evenminded that a theory in the softest of soft sciences, a theory is not accepted as true simply because it offers an eloquent narrative or an elegant narrative to describe things that have already happened. in order for a theory to be accepted as true, you have to be able to take set theory and then anticipate behaviors that have not yet come to be. when i give that talk in 2007, i could not have known barack obama would become the democratic party nominee. i certainly could not have known he would be elected president. could not have possibly have known that as president of the united states, barack obama would bow down before some world leaders, but not others. but yet my theory had anticipated to perfection that if a future president obama were to bow down he for some world leaders but not ot

was he known as the father of modern conservatism before curt? >> guest: work describes itself as the longing to the party of conservatives. he understood himself to be engaged in the effort to save the british constitution, the british system at a time when it was generally threatened by political radicalism so it makes sense to think of him as the father of modern conservatism but it can also need misleading. burke was a whig and not a reformer. he was an opponent of slavery and always favored limits on the power of the king. he wasn't a person would have been thought of as a conservative in continental europe at the time. but a voice for anglo-american conservatism. he has been understood that way before curt. >> host: who was thomas paine? >> guest: thomas paine was an anguished or an immigrants in america a contemporary of work. he was eight years younger and his story is quite different. he began life in a working-class family in england through a series of terrible misadventures and found himself basically a bankrupt tax collector living i

more than legislative proving ground for the modern drug war. the city's evolution in the culture and practices of modern policing was emblematic and in many ways constructive. as they ratcheted up the punishment for narcotics powerful some forces change the metropolitan police department from an agency which largely ignored poor black neighborhoods to an agency which largely defined its policing mission through narcotics enforcement's in those very same places. i argue that this transformation enabled police to retain vestiges of traditional law-enforcement via discretion, use of force or even corruption while in the midst of profound changes wrought by the professional is asian movement within law enforcement and civil rights outside of it. as police redefined their presence in the ghetto drug enforcement became both their preoccupation and their methodology, not just something to police but a way to police. initially the fact that law-enforcement did not bother services in poor black neighborhoods was something that was both widely known and

in essence, we have arrived at the crux of the modern presidency.louis the 14th was so front of -- so fond of saying, for president of today's world, it is no less true could the problem is that ensuing centuries, forces in and outside the government have been chipping away at these unitary powers, particularly on the economic front, where power to the ultimately resides -- where power today ultimately resides. where once the power of presence rose and fell on the evan flow of cheap little empires, the maintenance of sea lanes or the medications between colonies and far corners of the globe -- remember those days when the sun never set on the british empire? not anymore. now power rests on the goodwill of corporate titans, the presidents of the new empires. where apple or samsung will assemble their newest smartphone, where bp or bhp will prospect for oil or nickel or rare earths, underwriting the railings and headlines to bring these commodities to market, these are the currency of power for today's presidents, tracking those companies did his or h

in a sense when they arrived at the crux of the modern presidency. for a president in today's world that is no less true the problem of course is that in the ensuing centuries the forces inside the government have been chipping away at the unitary power. but particularly on the economic front where power today ultimately reside. today this is the principal presidential currency where once the power of the president's rose and fell on the head and flow of the geopolitical and hires the maintenance of the lanes and the conditions in the colonies with the far corners of the globe remember the days the sun never sat on the tradition higher? off any more now is on the corporate titans and the presidents of the new empires they will build their new assembly plants and the will assemble their newest smart phones and the prospect for oil underwriting the pipelines. these are the currencies of power attracting those companies to his country or her country. take in india and china. india was an apparently functioning democracy and china was an essentially plan

finally from head to toe covering including the eyes to no covering at all, what is appropriate for the modern muslim woman. i'll share a surprising survey. >>> here's a startling statistic, more than 8,000 iraqis were killed in violent attacks in 2013. that makes it the second most violent country in the world after its next door neighbor syria. as violence has spread and militants have gained ground in several mideastern countries, people have been wondering, how much does this have to do be -- "the wall street journal" and commentator magazine have both argued that the obama administration's decision to withdraw troops from iraq to zero is directly responsible for the renewed violence in that country. they have also argued that because the obama administration stayed out of syria, things there have spiraled downward. let me suggest that the single greatest burden for the violence and tensions across the arab world right now lies with the president, though not president obama. and it lies with an american foreign policy that was not too passive but rather too active and interventionist in th

most cities tear down their walls to make way for modern traffic.g out both traffic and, it seems, the stress of the modern world. the city is a bit of a paradox. while it has europe's mightiest renaissance wall, it hasn't seen a battle since 1430. locals, like my friend and fellow tour guide gabriele calabrese, treat their ramparts like a circular park. and with plenty of rental bikes available, visitors can enjoy a lazy pedal around its 2-1/2-mile circuit, as well. so, gabriele, this is a renaissance wall. what's the difference between a renaissance wall and a medieval wall? calabrese: the medieval wall is thin, because they had no problem with harrows or stones. but in the renaissance time, the cannons, they became very strong, and they became a problem, so that's why it was so thick. steves: lucca's wall didn't come cheap. but all that hard work and investment combined with clever diplomacy earned the city a long period of independence. and to this day, the proud lucchesi have a strong sense of identity. rather than showcasing famous monuments,

so up until 2020 it's a readiness issue, a modernization issue. past 2020 it's a size issue. are we big enough to do the missions that we'll be asked to do? and i am a bit worried about that number in the end, especially in the army. >> for that end number, is the army trying to have its instrength at 420,000 given with the budget? >> so there's no decisions made on that. we'll continue to work that. what we have done is we have -- the army's going to move to 490,000 by the end of 2015 instead of 2017. the reason we sped that up is to better balance the readiness and modernization a bit quicker and that equals 20,000 a year that i talked about. as we -- as i stand here today we are at about -- we started at 570,000. we're about 527,000 or so. we'll be down to about 510,000 by the end of this year. by the end of 2015 we'll be down to 490,000. then we'll have to make decisions on where we go from there, and we are constantly working that internal right now to the building as we look at the resources that will be made available to us. >> the national guard is advocating for an e

he moved ahead on modernizing the navy as best he could. he had his political adviser from new york state now with him. louis mchenry, a disheveled little man who stayed with him in the 1920 and into the first term as president, a very capable and interesting guy who made a politician out of roosevelt. he was a turned to things that franklin was not. when roosevelt came into the navy department, he discovered not only with the navy secretary, an isolationist, he wanted to take the navy off alcohol together. servicemen like they drank. in fact, in world war i, it turns out the british army had a rule that on days when it rained, soldiers could have a tot of rum. this was to warm them up. it warmed them up enough from the morale standpoint that almost every day during the war, the british army cleared that there was rain someplace. and soldiers got their tot of rum. daniels didn't like that idea. he wanted to ban alcohol at averages altogether from the navy. he did mandate that and it became clear to the admirals, when the navy department bra

the forced collective program was supposed to modernize farming, but it contributed to a famine that killed millions of farmers. when the soviet union collapsed in 1991 it met productivity plummeted at first but now it's booming. >> translator: look where we're standing now. this was an old collective farm in soviet times, and now it's one of the most modern agricultural complexes. >> reporter: even a farm like this one has a lot catching up to do. the average cow here produces 25 liters of milk a day, about 60 in europe. the sanitary conditions also leave much to be desired, so the milk can't be used to make expensive products like soft cheese or yogurt. the country has a lot of potential. it has some of the richingest soil in the world and with better integration and closer ties to europe, ukraine could become a regional breadbasket. who owns that soil is a big obstacle here. >> land is always a problem here, because there's no clear ownership and right to buy or sell land, which, of course, makes it difficult to for people to invest. >> reporter: that makes modernization projects

it's the modernization of liberalism but it's constantly modernizing your government. it goes to the points i talked about and what bill clinton norris talked about were three words, opportunity, responsibility and community. those were sort of the underlying themes of the ideas included americorps welfare reform fiscal discipline. , increasing. and reinventing government charter schools community placing. basically ideas that dealt with concerns people had in their everyday lives. >> host: al from is a guess and here's the cover of the book "the new democrats and the return to power" and the return to the -- "the new democrats and the return to power." what are some of the dangers that democrats face today? >> guest: the democrats right now have a demographic advantage. the republicans in the 1980s michael barone used to call the democrats the stupid party. and i think the republicans in recent elections haven't acted very smartly. in the 2000 election for example they basically told hispanic voters and activists women we don't want your vote. as long as they continue

was he the father of modern conservatism? >> guest: at the end of his life he describes them as the party of conservation. the term conservative didn't exist exactly but he understood himself to be engaged in the effort to save the british constitution system at a time when i was genuinely threatened by political radicalism. it makes sense to think of modern conservatism that it can be misleading. he was a reformer of institutions and practices and opponent of slavery and always favored limits on the power of the king. and so he will send a person that would have been thought of as a conservative and continental europe at the time but the voice for the anglo-american conservatism he has been understood that we before. >> host: who was thomas paine? >> guest: and immigrant bourn to america. he was eight years younger and his story is quite different. he began life in a working-class family in england fruit eight series of misadventures and found himself basically a bankrupt collector trying to figure out what to do with his li

to modernize the navy. a coal-fired navy, it was antique and cost a great deal of money. 20% of the federal budget, hard to believe, 20% of the federal budget went to the navy, this was a very important job when it came to spending money but if any of you are collectors of antique, collecting antiques. this is what the navy was. roosevelt began arranging contacts for new oil fired work ships. in 1914, the second year of the administration just before world war i began in europe, at the brooklyn navy yard presiding over the of laying of the keel of the battleship arizona, one of the first modern battleships in the navy. the ironic thing about the battleship arizona as many of you will remember, is that it would come to roosevelt's bus engine again much later ron. and at the bottom of pearl harbor. it was the beginning of the crusade to improve the navy. isn't that he was disloyal to the administration. and on one occasion as secretary assistant, secretary of the navy, i went to pennsylvania to present them w

the facts tell me we must modernize the regulations that exports,ergy demonstrating to the world that we are committed -- committed to leading on issues of energy, the environment, and trade. i am not proposing comprehensive energy export legislation. i believe that the executive branch has the statutory authority to implement most of these ideas on its own. needf the president does help from the legislative branch, he will always have an open partner in me on the energy committee. i am willing to introduce small, targeted bills to move the ball forward as needed. but i do want to today advance several key principles. they are threefold. to assess this energy architecture that we are talking about, particularly where we have seen exports banned. the second principle is really theo no harm where regulations we have in place are working. the third principle is to look to efficiencies within our regulatory framework. see if we cannot work to do better. there are parts of this antiquated architecture where exports are effectively banned. we should think carefully about the conditions in w

he didn't intend for this to be a modern structure. he intended it to be appropriate to the rest of the capitol design. but, because of weight it could not have been built in masonry. walter had just finished several years earlier the library of congress renovation in the capitol where once it will been -- where once it had been destroyed by fire he went in with fireproof interior structure which was made of very elaborate cast iron. in building that, he proved the resilience and economy of cast iron where you can make multiple elaborate pieces from a single mold and was able to then create this dome without an extensive cost and with enough lightweight aspects that it was possible. >> [inaudible]? >> the existing foundations would not have supported a structure so i don't think it was calculated to what it would have been. needless to say it would have been considerably higher than the 14 million pounds that the dome in masonry additions were that was ultimately built. i would like to point out to hear that the walls that you are lean

it's an incredible time for modern science. and he believes that if you apply that kind of thinking to political life you could solve social problems, really solve them. solve poverty, solve war. is a kind of utopian. he doesn't think it will happen in a permanent way, any truly utopian way but he thinks we can solve a lot of our social problems if we just apply our reason to the right principles and to our circumstances. that means that paine approaches the world, and unnecessarily imperfect will by being absolute outraged at failure, at the fact that things are not going well. he can only understand injustice and failure in society as a function of people choosing to do the wrong thing. and especially of the powerful choosing to oppress the weak. that's basically how he understands why there is war, why this poverty, why there's injustice and why people are not free. burke says human life is much more complicated than that. and reason is an important part of what the human person is but it's not even the four most part let al

the soviet union's forced program was supposed to modernize farming but it contributed to a famine that killed many farmers. in 1991, the transition to farming made producttivity mum et at first, but now it's booming. >> look where we're standing now. this was an old collective farm in soviet times, and now it's one of the most modern agriculture complexes. >> but even they have a lot of catching up to do. the average cow produce 60 in europe. expensive products like soft cheese or yogurt. still the country has a lot of potential. ukraine has some of the richest soil in the world. and many believe that with better integration and closer ties to europe, ukraine could be a bread basket. who owns the soil is a problem here. >> there's no clear ownership. there's no clear right to buy or sell land, which of course makes it difficult for people to invest. >> that makes modernization projects like this new seed plant expensive. ukraine charges 25% interest. farming companies would like government reforms and outside help. >> if makes financial sense, because development from organizations and

but the modern reality of extremism is threatening the games next month in russia.ity in sochi, still with us, don berrelli, glen howard, and from virginia beach, virginia, mary manjikian. the united states is sharing some very sophisticated technology with the russians. tell us what you know. >> it was announced that the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff was in moscow and we offered to provide the russians with technology and countering leds. so this is really a big development. and i remain skeptical whether they could actually transfer the technology. but i think what is hanging over the obama administration is the shadow of benghazi. they want to try to do everything possible to provide security to the american athletes. but it is said that the russians are not providing organizational details to the united states. and this was a major source of problem for the united states, because we war trying to get this information, and the announcement of the two warships, is part of that. so this, combined with the ied's that the united states is offering, is really

orthodoxy, one of the impulses that drives the modern orthodoxy is the use of self defense team's by black radicals in some areas that we have to say really are political violence. you see this debate and dissension within the community about whether that is a legitimate act of self-defense are not. >> okay. and very interesting. my sense is that you are doing or suggesting that within the tradition, there was this feeling that self-defense was an easier explanation. it and a moral weight to it. and legal protection to it in ways that political violence did not. is that -- >> at think that's right. political violence is essentially revolution. you know, we will upset the game board. you see over and over and over again, roy williams talking about it in the 20th-century. but you also see the boys talking about it at the turn of the century. talk about it at the end of the 19th century. and lots of other people that you probably have not heard of expressing it in the same way this idea, you are a 10 percent minority. you're not going to win a revolution. you're not going to achieve you

[indiscernible] >> it would not have been supported by the structure, so i think it was never calculated. it would have been considerably higher than the 14 million pounds the dome and masonry additions were that was ultimately built. i think the point here is that the walls you are leaning against are the original bulfinch drum for the original dome of the capitol. everything that walter added was about the cornice level at t

an artist from japan stole the show with a giant image of a modern art icon. we caught up with him to learn more about him and his creation. >> reporter: sculpt miami beach. this annual exhibition showcases a huge variety of contemporary art, from paintings to sculptures, and installations. at the most recent show in december, one work in particular drew the crowds. >> wow. >> reporter: a hyperrealistic bust of pop art legend andy warhol. >> it's terrific. it's very weird but it's very terrific. >> my first thought was yuck. you can see like all like -- like wringly skin and the hair and the detail. but it was like he was looking at me. >> reporter: the work won praise in the local press. and images of it spread fast through social media. creator kazuhiro sugi calls the bust portraits. this is the first time he's exhibited at the miami beach show. >> translator: i've had many compliments. people have told me it's the best piece in the show. it's had a great response. >> reporter: tsugi moved to the u.s. when he was 27 to work as a special effects makeup artist

in the modern era it was renamed ""nbc nightly news"." also in the modern era, we learned a lot about cigarettes and smoking. just today the u.s. surgeon general came out with a new report showing smoking impacts every major organ in the body and has already killed 20 million americans over the past 50 years. this is a call to action to eliminate smoking before it takes its toll on another generation. we get our report tonight from nbc's tom costello. >> reporter: the warning from the nation's top doctors today, the dangers associated with smoking are far worse than we ever knew. >> today the annual death toll from smoking is approaching 500,000 per year. enough is enough. >> reporter: it was 50 years ago this month when the surgeon general announced smoking causes lung cancer. >> cigarette smoking is related to a higher death rate in a number of disease categories. >> reporter: since then smoking rates have dropped from 48% of adults in 1964 to 18% now. but today's thousand-page surgeon generals report dramatically expands the list of di
