from cooks to housekeepers, like mrs. hughes. here's a real ad from 100 years ago. >> she will require great judgment to bear herself prudently courteously and with tact. she may find it difficult to overcome the jealousies and bickering of the household. that just goes to show that these households were full of bickering, backstabbing and people trying to get one over on each other. >> what's interesting is that in the servant's hall, the hierarchy was just as strict as it was upstairs. so butlers at the top. >> reporter: at downton abbey, carson, the starchy butler, rules the crawley household with a prim and proper fist. >> downton is a great house. >> reporter: his real life counterpart is colin edwards, who's served three generations of earls. >> i'm the castle butler. i look after the family, the dinners, the lunches, the breakfasts, generally just make sure they have everything they require. >> reporter: and who taught him how? the butler to the queen. >> you need a lot of practice to be able to set out a table or present

. >> booktv continues with hugh wilford. mr. wilford recounts the cia's early forays in the middle east in the 1940s and '50s. the operations were led by theodore roosevelt's grandson, held of the region's covert actions, who was assisted by his cousin, archie roosevelt, chief of the beirut station. the author reports that these men's actions would inevitably lay the groundwork for current foreign policy relations between the u.s. and middle eastment this is about an hour. [applause] >> thank you so much for that kind introduction, and like to add my thanks to everybody here tonight for coming out in these conditions. if you hadn't already guessed from my accent, i'm originally from england, and i'll be heading back shortly, so this happens, perhaps, preparation after southern california for a british winter. just like to begin by saying a few words about how -- first, how i came to this subject before describing some of the themes of the book. now, as you've already heard, my previous book, "the mighty wurlitzer," was about cia

mr. gabriel. we want to go to holly hughes, prosecutor, knows all about this. we have been talking about these cases. this particular case you and i on the air. is this surprising to you that this is happening now after four days of deliberation? >> no, because in the beginning -- >> holly, start over. we couldn't hear you. >> okay. it doesn't surprise me because they probably took a straw vote in the very beginning and they have been if you rememberly entrenched in their position, whether it's not guilty all the way across the board or whether it's guilty across the board. and so what they have been doing is reviewing the evidence. this is a careful jury. you see it in the questions they are asking. they were so on top of it. one of them was missing one page of jury instructions, but noticed it. you know what that tells me, they read those 40 some pages to notice they were mising that one instruction. it doesn't surprise me. . it's disheartening they can't agree. i want to point out what somebody just tweeted to me saying, this allen charge was very weak. and

mr. varney, we stopped you for going through a red light. before you go can be search your trunk? hughto say no and you have the right to say yes. if you say yes you way of your fourth amendment right but suppose mrs. varney is in the car with you and you say yes and she says no or supposedly not on your door and she says yes and you say no. the rule is as long as there is one no you can't go in. new rule is as long as there's one yes you can go in. the exception to probable cause is consent by at least one person even if another lawful owner of the house who is not there says no. the reason he is not there is he was arrested. so now will police arrest people in order to get them out of the house so the person remaining there can say yes? that is the fear of the descent. stuart: that is surprising. could have been 5-4. judge napolitano: justice antonin scalia was with the majority. stuart: why did they go against the old way of looking at the fourth amendment? judge napolitano: without a person there to say no they only have one person to hear from and that person is saying yes. i don'

mr. morgan was not too happy with what i said. he tweeted out in response, who is stuart varney. scotty hughes is still with us.one. >> no. zero what about an assault weapon that can fire 100 bullets in a minute. stuart: that is exactly why he failed. he says things like your constitution. talking down to americans. this guy, he does not get it. you are america. >> he despises the conservatives within america. you want to look at the difference between fox business ratings that are the top of the charts. we have gradually gone up. people look to us for information. he never showed respect to any of his gas. people do not want to sit there and see that. they want to see respect. if they respect the host, you will see good ratings. stuart: congratulations. stuart: he knows who you are. stay with us. you are here for the hour. best buy announces a quarterly dividend. there is a stock that is coming back. we call it the amazon for moms. the stock has been on a tear. zulily. why the stock has been so successful. after this. ♪ ♪ i'm still alive ♪ hey, i'm still alive ♪ oh, i'm still alive ♪ so ourusiness can be on at

hugh andthe subject, jeff of the financial times the warm welcome .eing extended to mr.nde -- since britain pulled back last year from joining any military intervention in syria, france has appeared to step into the gap, with paris taking a hard line on syria and stopping iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. can you update the serious situation from the french perspective? hollande ondent syria was ready to go when we almost had the military intervention. when president obama decided to not go, president hollande was isolated on the european front. french are really up front on the syrian issue. they have been pushing to help and are closely involved in the geneva talks. let's go to the phones. we are talking with leon of afp. he is here to talk about u.s.-french relations. antoine is waiting in new jersey on our lines for independents. good morning. caller: good morning. to remind us that the french people have provided the majority of loans. there was a lot of people that came to the united states during the revolution. you, wetion i have for are such a liberal country

hughes row. it is actually a double-edged sword. have a gridiron dinner of media advisers who were shrewd enough to do this wonderful self-parody. it was about demonstrating that mrs. reagan had a sense of humor and can laugh at herself. it is remarkable, it tells you something about the tribal customs of washington dc that almost overnight her press turned around. >> and eliza munro was no dolly madison, either. >> richard norton smith joining us from kansas. one of our for this series. dave is in albuquerque, new mexico. >> the series has been just great. i know you have spent a year, as all of us has, looking back. could you look forward just a what do you think would happen to the first ladyship if the first lady is actually a man? >> i think the white house makes transitions very well. i think our country is very resilient and we will change. we came close to it, obviously, .bout six years ago i think there will be a question as to who manages the social duties, and that's not to be undermined or diminished in any way because it is extremely important. oron't think it is as useful effective to turn all that over to the state department to do. i think we would
