but it actually proves a point here james brings up this point we have these two narratives out there and depending on how you see politics is what you're going to stress i agree because hillary clinton was given a free pass over and over and over again donald trump like a murder don't like him there is no evidence that he committed a crime not yet after all this time ok though the other side and so you have c n n n n b c do not want to talk about the crimes of hillary clinton and her mafia gang because that's essentially what they are ok and all they can do is focus on me going to james they're all they can do is focus on the what they believe what they hope what they pray for our sins of donald trump but in all those words i just used it's not a legal go ahead james. i hope ha is right that molar will be out i think that means also getting rid of rod rosenstein the deputy attorney general and possibly replacing jeff sessions with somebody will actually do something about this stuff but my concern is this is that molar is captain ahab going after the great orange whale here and even

but it actually proves a point here james brings up this point we have these two narratives out there and depending on how you see politics is what you're going to stress i agree because hillary clinton was given a free pass over and over and over again donald trump like a murder don't like him there is no evidence that he committed a crime not yet after all this time ok though the other side and so you have c n n n n b c do not want to talk about the crimes of hillary clinton and her mafia gang because that's essentially what they are ok and all they can do is focus on me going to james their all they can do is focus on the what they believe what they hope what they pray for our sins of donald trump but in all those words i just used it's not a legal go ahead james. i hope ha is right that molar will be out i think that means also getting rid of rod rosenstein the deputy attorney general and possibly replacing jeff sessions with somebody will actually do something about this stuff but my concern is this is that molar is captain ahab going after the great orange whale here and even if

because they were getting paid your client wants dirt will give you dirt well but the russian bad narrative has been so entrenched now i'm not sure how we get it out you know that's good that leave that's interest that's a very interesting well and i agree with them completely because they die it's been cast on that element there ok across the board you can there if you question it to your viewer your europe. your useful idiots but the interesting thing also that well you know the media the i mean again holder the other side though is that we see the level of corruption at the highest echelons of law enforcement so you get the worst best worst possible words or worlds here go headly go jump in well here's what it is this is a dish information operations against russia period that's what this is and you can't have a decision from ation operation by only going to one side in other words you've been talking about the liberal media again i'm a republican. supporter and i used to work as the lead investigative reporter for breitbart let me say this breitbart has been just as bad on this issue an

if a turkey july fifteen was the day everything changed narratives around the failed coup in photo or a new national creation one that with so much of the took us media behind it is rapidly becoming a new national reality. and finally kids just about everywhere like to spend time on you tube and when they do that in egypt they might learn how to become police informants somebody at the interior ministry thought it would be a good idea to produce a cartoon designed to do that it features two boys reporting some suspicious new neighbors to a friendly policeman uncle in the below now not everyone sees egyptian security forces in such a benign light the ngo human rights watch for example recently said that the interior ministry oversees an assembly line of torture what follows is a slightly scary snapshot into the security state that egypt has become under president. el-sisi but at least the kids get some chocolate out of the deal we'll see you next time here at the listening post. here but the shining the civic in the most of it is another not just in the issue there and then the way in

the media narrative has really played an important role forty eight k.p. government and for president i don't want to disseminate a particular version of events. i don't let your love of the club. which we're going to i mean you. look at this to hear. that. they're on the soft to hear this with us. i'm. from the soldiers and civilians killed and injured to the bullets got walls of government buildings from accusations confessions prosecutions and recriminations a new national narrative has emerged in which turkey is percent by an enemy within the fair to terror organization to be known henceforth by the acronym. then it's only journalists who want to defend the state also want to keep the fifteenth of july high on the agenda and. if you consider the counter the texture the intricate structure and the sophistication of the organization that we fought against on the fifteenth of july you will better understand why that day will not be forgotten. the government is trying to keep itself in power of the back of the propaganda fifteenth of july even before the c

so i also did research with the slave narratives, and so there are about 3500 slave narratives. i went through all of those and identified the ones that described their house during slavery. there are 1,010 slave narratives that described their house during slavery. i went through those and of those and the 485 documented slave houses, there are five that overlapped. so you have five slave narratives that describe specific documented slave house. you have the actual words of the people living in these spaces, describing these spaces, which is just -- it's amazing. that's the interpretation we should be using when we interpret these spaces. so from that, that just -- you know, i used the slave narratives to interpret and understand these spaces, like to guide me to what should i be looking for in these spaces and, you know, what were they -- how were they using them and can i see any of that in these spaces i'm going back to look at? my field work of going back and doing my own documentation in these buildings started when i was working on my project in school, the -- i was a sum

have counter narratives and alternative narratives. the government does not have much credibility in the online space. big, tooo old, too square. we need credible voices, especially from our community partners. -- toimportant or partner. fight dh or the u.s. government can win on its own. our enemies are diverse and crowdsourcing. fortunately, our allies are fighting with us in the same space. in the pasture there has been tremendous progress in terrorism prevention. homejuly, united kingdom secretary and myself traveled to silicon valley to meet with the newly launched global forum on international terrorism. by facebook, microsoft, youtube, and twitter, is the first time major companies have come together to work on research and tech knowledge he tech meeks in this -- techniques in this area. moreover, they are dedicated to tackle small companies this online. i am very encouraged by their work to counter this dangerous problem. we help more problems will be solved by engaging against this problem here and abroad because terrorist rad

so as i wrote the narrative i was trying to write an engaging one. i did not have young prince him i had, had a slightly older reader. high schoolmean students cannot read up at that was a reader i had a my mind when i was writing. susan: can you give the web address. c-span has a lot of people interested in self-education. how do they find this? know.heck if i susan: we will find it and put it on the screen. [laughter] susan: you take this book up how far? 2016 up until the elections. susan: how do you have a historic perspective on something a year and half old? jane: it is hard. i think that is the reason why far textbooks to go that forward. i found that scholarly work i could draw on, the university, iraqeed work, is about the war. then i relied on primary sources and also on really great nonfiction journalism. for example, someone like george packer who i think is a first-rate researcher and writer. i relied more on them that other things but i do think it is dicey, the closer you get to the present. i have opinions then, so i have to be more c

we can create and disseminate more powerful counter narratives and alternative narratives. the truth is the government doesn't have great credibility in the online space. for good reasons i believe. we arend too old, too big and to square. we need credible voices especially for our community partners. so it's important that we help empower those groups with the information, hardships and resources they need to be successful. this is not ainer fight dhs or e u.s. government can do on their own. our enemies are dispersed and they are crowdsourcing their activities. fortunately, our allies are fighting with us in the same space. in the past year there's been tremendous progress, particularly in the technology center. last july the united kingdom home secretary amber rudd and i travel to silicon valley to meet with the newly launched global internet forum on counterterrorism, rgi sct. the j sct led by facebook, microsoft, youtube and twitter is the first time major companies have come together to work on research and technology techniques in thiss area. moreover, they are commi

so i did research on the slave narratives, and so there are about 3500 slave narratives. i went through all of them and identified the ones that described the house in slavery. so there are 1,010 slave narratives that described the house in slavery. i went through those. of those, and of the 485 slave house, there are five that overlap. so you have five slave narratives that describe the specific documented slave house, and so you will have the actual people of the inhabitants of the spaces, and that is the interpretation that we need to be using when we interpret the spaces. so, so from that, that just, i used the slave narratives to interpret and understand the spaces, and like to guide me of what i should be looking for and how i can see that in the spaces now that i am going back the look at, and my field work of going back and doing my own documentation of the buildings started when i was working on the project in schools, and i was a summer intern at the project, and i had access to the research. ta we they were like, how many have you seen? i said, nuchblt i have b

the narrative supremacy. it became a narrative that wrote a lot of people almost out of the story. it certainly wrote the achievements of this reconstruction era largely out of the story such that by the 1930's, something like "gone with the wind" could seem like common sense and put into a great story, a great epic. common sense put into a great epic, and you have got a national mythology. in thes a line i wrote preface of "race and reunion," which i now have reporters reading back to me, which is one my life, they say "you say here, as long as america has politics of race, we have politics of the civil war memory. is that true?" uh, yeah. here we are now, struggling, why don't we ever get over this? why did they all give up in the first place? should we just take them all down? and so forth. eternalave probably an thelem, how we remembered civil war. as long as we have racism, we'll have a problem. michael: thavolia, i want to come back to you, if i may. it is a remarkable achievement that someone here from

huge lappin the other roma using that activists out tell their own stories i challenge negative narratives joining us to talk about this in french spain behind the dragon is an actress and playwright and the cofounder for many of the pan theatre company nicoletta bit who is the president of the democratic federation of roma from romania as well as the co-chair of the european roma institute for arts and culture she joins us from book arrest also in book orest that is an actress and the founder of the untold story speak to company and was the u.k. lisa smith news editor of the travelers times and that's a website covering roma news and culture hello everybody good to have you here hi i'm just thinking when you're thinking up a piece of theater and you're thinking how does this help people understand the roma better where do you stop or what are you trying to do when we we created to. bend like an answer to. a way in which very stereotypical way in which well are present in our you know the scars. so we want to you. artists contemporary is alive. we are we are we have progress you know and w

but people online are reminding us of course there is not just one narrative so this is a lonnie on twitter who says although some roma groups are enthusiastic about creating a shared identity discourse of the roma has pointed out the difficulty in a non territorial traditionally group seeing itself as united another person picks up on that theme and jonathan he tweets and he says we're not a single group of nuts and he wants people to know we're not a single group with a single culture across the continent it would be like talking about the worldwide african community roma how many cultures languages religions and customs and these make us richer as a people. can you give us that perspective keeping in mind that yes people are trying to represent to their community but it does not then just one monolithic community in the difficulty in the. it's not only one man article community and this is driven by the local stories national histories and we have been oppressed by the majority religions and majority history but this. and all the artists are trying to and they are succeeding towa

narrative, it doesn't seem legitimate. host: you're after the documents, the democrats say, release the documents. it, i want all for all the cards on the table. pointingd of the finger and hysteria, you know, i want this whole thing blown out to the open. if there is something there, great, indict someone. get a grand jury, let's go to trial. 'm tired of sort of rumor and inuendo. yeah, but...you know. mueller's r. investigation so far, i mean, he may have had a couple of and general flynn 1001, ve put out 18usc this is pretty thin stuff. like i said, take a big step it, i think k at putin and the russians are ooking because they have so manipulated the american mudissent ystem and so and really that is the larger question. the ore concerned about united states than the efforts of various political operatives a system.manipulate host: christopher farrell joining us. vernon in texas, independent line, go ahead. caller: good morning. christopher farrell, thank you for this watch. thanks. caller: i'd like to say two things,

i am shocked at the traction this hannity narrative has gotten. and here's what's shocking to me this week. when i saw -- when you see ron johnson, the senator from wisconsin, out there talking about, we have an informant, there's a secret meetings being held off-site. that's a loop. it goes from hannity to someone like johnson and the president and that is gaining real traction in this country. >> and we have to remember, hannity is a presidential adviser. >> exactly. >> the daily beast pointed out this week, they're talking all the time. >> so how significant is it that fox and the "washington examiner" were the first to get a sneak peek of the memo contents? >> listen, it definitely doesn't help the idea that this is some sort of objective memo and that the point of this release was for more transparency when the first people to get their hands on it are outlets that have been friendlier to the president and to his agenda than anybody else. this whole memo, though, has reminded me of sometimes when you go to museums and other countries and they

i am personally suspicious of the inflation narrative.er are small signs of inflation acceleration in the u.s., but nowhere else on the globe. i don't think the u.s. can take off on an inflation spell on its own unless the dollar collapses. realuld have to see a dollar crisis, which i think is unlikely, for the inflation narrative to take off. if you believe that idea, earnings are great, than 4.5% is not completely crazy. guy: to come back to the dollar and a dollar collapse, mr. suga in japan is voicing concern about the move we are beginning to see against the yen. a few in europe are getting nervous about what is happening. the rate of change is critical, the delta, what happens in these targets and how quickly we get to them. the you see any evidence we could see an acceleration in this story? we have seen turbulence in the last week or so in stocks, what about a big blowout move in foreign exchange? mark: they're definitely has to y on the radar. it is something to consider. i was a secular bear and remain so on the dollar. too many

>> if you look at what the narrative was they were pushing, that narrative gained traction in the u.s. during that time and that was a key part of the entire election circus in 2016, and absolutely krktcontributed the way the election came out. >> do you agree? if you do, what are we doing ahead of this next election? can we change this or stop this? >> well, i agree there's absolutely no way to know here. what's happened and russians are good at this. they put a narrative out there that was already out there and pushed it. there's no way for us to untangle this and that's exactly what the russians want. they want us to question theirselves, what they want going forward in 2018, we wonder, is this election legitimate? is the information i'm receiving accurate. is one piece of information better than any other piece of information. they have soiled the information landscape and that's perfect for them. >> if there's no way to untangle it, does it mean we're doomed in influence in our election coming up this year? >> probably. i think our intelligence agencies and our law enforcement ag

area which is about thirteen kilometers from mount hermon and over the past few months the whole narrative was about what is going to happen in places like egypt but what we're seeing now is talks about potential confrontations with the fight goes back to areas like that and is this something which has been closely monitored by the israeli government. do they consider this to be another bad line if he happens absolutely this is been a red line for quite some time and the iranian and his bill our presence in southern syria on the border with the golan heights and with israel is a red line for the israeli government and that should be made very clear to everyone not only to the outside regime and to iran but also russia as well as the united states i will just say that yes the nature of war might be changing but israel still has the most powerful military in the area and that if there is really an escalation which we all hope won't be the case but if there is an escalation then i believe the syrians and the iranian interests inside syria as well as perhaps lebanon if hizbullah deigns to to g

going on in the community there and the social the fact that activists had control of their own narratives was extremely powerful and revolutionary and social media has been a significant tool since that time so as you know i participated in an in a number of demonstrations and i actually went to ferguson missouri in november of two thousand and fourteen the day after the grand jury decided that they would not and die the officer who killed my brown i was there as a legal observer to the national lawyers guild and i noticed a dichotomy between the way in which the national media was reporting the unfolding events in ferguson versus everyday ordinary citizens and activists in terms of how they put the narrative forward the narrative that came forward from activists was really talking a lot about the need for police accountability the need to focus on issues that impact african-americans and other marginalized populations and the fact that they wanted the rest of america to pay attention to what was happening now that is not very different from what happened during the civil rights movement

how this thing worked as a narrative. because he said he couldn't do one thing and then -- you know, like obsess over words. and once we got the structure right, then he dot line and it wasn't -- you know severe i tried to save him some trouble by writing are well in the first place. but he was not -- you know, it was not insignificant and it was a wonderful process because you know, i'm very particular in all writers should be about language but there's also the business of architecture and structure and what scene needs more, and less and what doesn't need to be there? what had needs to be explained better? and no matter how goods you think you are and no matter how much second sight you think you have a really good editor is valuable to fin valuable. and in this day and age, with publishing having changed so much which you may talk about -- many young writers don't have editors. there are, they're just not being paid for by publishers or their spread too thin so for me it is great having grown up reading the perkins co

none the less, both of these narratives contain paths to solidarity. the first supported by bill o'reilly and conservative writer david brooks and given lip service by donald trump rejects multiculturalism and denigrates the idea that it decries identity politics and said america doesn't need to change. instead, solidarity requires the submission of many groups as a dominant culture. some outside of that paradigm are required to participate in miss america as long as they uphold rather than challenging hierarchies and norms. marco rubio, ted cruz and fox news would lead us down that path. barack obama and hillary clinton are considered public enemies number and football player who is call attention to inequality. the other narrative that is symbolized in the figure of the first black president, the multiracial president told us that it entails relinquishes dominance in one group. it said we must make change to realize the promise of america. which path do we choose? i don't know the answer to that one. thank you. i want to leave time for questions and

to the country that's what i want to ask the democrats what's your narrative to the country and i think chuck schumer in new york and. in california ok the democrats are going to win those two states we're going to do with the other forty eight. in the middle of the country you know when the democrats were strong with dick gephardt was from missouri when tom daschle was from south dakota yeah ok when they had leadership from the middle of the country now the republicans who they have on their leadership team the food from south dakota right ok they connect with the middle of the country that's the way the map is it's going to be hard to break into that you better start talking to these folks about jobs you better the democrats better start talking to him about their future instead of keep pounding on these red herrings about well the best thing we can do is hope for the russian investigation so we can impeach trump that's not a plan for america no it's not for a plan for the democratic party you know it's you know a very you know it's also interesting that the mention of at the top of t

they wanted to control the narrative. trump can feel it vindicates him but that only lasts until the democratic memo comes out making him feel otherwise. >> erin, chuck schumer. heard him calling on the president to release the democratic memo. will that happen, do you think? >> well, i don't know alex, but i don't know if they need it. might be better for democrats if president trump says, no, we're not going to release the memo. then obviously, president trump looks like he's getting in the way of the investigation again. then democrats can cry, culture of corruption. ultimately what you'll see happening. washington and new york over the past week have melted down over the rerelease of this memo. the rest of the country just hears about memos going back and forth and hasn't put a thumb on the scale much other than to make republicans look bad. if president trump keeps democrats from releasing the memo, the democrats can use it against him rn. >> and susan said that earlier. the initial pushback on the gop memo released

this is about a narrative that the chairman wants to put out, misleading narrative to undermine the if you can, undermine the department, and ultimately undermine bob mueller. >> reporter: schiff writing in a letter to nunes that it was materially different than the version of which the committee voted. he called it a strange attempt to on thwart the publication of the memo. >> i asked the chairman did he work with, and i asked all the preliminaries, you know, coordinate, discuss. and he said not to my knowledge. i asked did your staff. and then he became quite agitated and said i'm not answering that. >> did devin nunes work with anybody in the white house on that memo? >> not that i know of. >> he was a member of trump's transition team. he was asked to step aside the committee after rushing to the white house to discuss intelligence related to the probe. nunes was eventually cleared. the memo setting up an unprecedented showdown between the president and his hand-picked fbi director chris wray. they asserted they have grave concerns about the material omissions of fact that fundamen

but as the weekend wore on the president saw the narrative wasn't heading that way, that the narrative was there was russian meddling in the election. this was something that had helped the president get elected, and he went full force to do everything he could through his favorite medium, twitter, to make that argument. and i think that's why we saw what we did. >> eli, is there any magic for him to be back in the white house, or does it just mean when we see a calming in his twitter feed that he is back in the area of dominant influence of a chief of staff and perhaps a lawyer or two? >> i don't know even know if it means that. it means he's gotten a lot of things off his chest over the weekend and will go quiet for a short period. michael's use of the term narrative is important because that is something that consumes this president. he is the president and yet he is consumed by the reflected reality that he consumes that comes back to him from tv that he watches constantly. he was tweeting about 60 minutes interviews last night. seems like he spent most of the weekend watching tele

the israeli narrative the iranian narrative very different in tone and in terms of the stories that telling us i want to pick up on something that the iranian foreign minister mentioned she talked about iran believing in a fresh security architecture needed in the persian gulf he talked about what he called an inclusive concept of security and he also talked about the mid term goal of a regional non-aggression pact was that just window dressing or should we take iran at its word what's your take on all those proposals. those who believe that political solutions are not only possible but necessary those who believe that the threats in the middle east can and must be contained by diplomatic means i absolutely agree with that approach and it's a call that we've heard here from a number of other speakers as well and as you probably could hear for those in the audience who are following the words of the chairman of the security conference who is himself by the way a seasoned diplomat he was very interested in that proposal it's a proposal that we. i also heard voiced by arab representati

the top of the hour meanwhile stay with us here on anti international across two very different narratives playing out in the west bank. hello and welcome to our all things considered i'm peter lavelle two americas two intensely charged in opposing news narratives you cable news networks reflect these divisions or rather function as triggers intensifying cultural divide also what has happened to journalism is it now a profession in habited by hacks the politically possessed. cross talking america divided i'm joined by my guest in new york he's a political pundit and journalist contributing to the huffington post also in new york we have who he is the editorial director of reactionary times and a newsmax columnist and in los angeles we have ron paul cone he is a comedian a frequent guest on the jimmy door show and the young turks as well as host of his own streaming show get your news on with ron all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it ron you got up early as for this program so you were elected to answer the quest

does that impacted the narrative?> we have had 10 years premium, the spread between long and short rates is now negative. that means that we are paying the government for the privilege of parking our money with the government. why would we do that? investors around the world would the treasuriesth now but that is starting to around. there is a long way to go to normalizing these treasury markets. it will mean these spreads have widened. there is repricing to be done. markets tend to act first and think later and they tend to overreact. to be cautious about how much overshooting will be markets be pricing in? scarlet: good perspective there. our stock of the hour is a victim of rising costs. it is clorox, declining after it said gross margins could fall. julie: it is a perfect example that in capillaries -- that encapsulates the issues in the year ahead. theox coming out with statement that it could miss estimates. gross margin could decrease modestly. it is pointing to higher input costs and tightening transportation

. >> the justice department gave us his narrative. he's pulling straight from the indictment here. he's showing a lot of these people knew u.s. politics very much from the inside. there were russian operatives who came to the u.s. under false identities years ago before the election to start understanding these politics and to try to sew discord. he talked about a time where they deported through social media campaign one rally against donald trump and one for donald trump in new york on the same day. in some cases they're picking sides and in some cases they're trying to sew discord. it was pretty interesting. >> one thing we learned from the intelligence communities even before this indictment is as early as ferguson they were trying to sew discord by taking sides pro and against black lives matter, for instance. and there's a particular point in the indictment that refers to telling people to vote for candidate stein to try to increase the third party vote which would decrease the hillary clinton vote. >> that was strategic. we've seen them seize on moments of discord. these are

there is a narrative arc...asy to sneer at the fifty shades movies because they are really not very good. the first one, they tried to do something interesting, but it was too restricted. she tried to change the script and she really couldn't. and these ones, they have pretty much stuck to it, the second one stuck to the ear—scraping dialogue of the source. it is badly written, the actors are doing their best with pretty intolerable dialogue. james foley is absolutely directing on autopilot. he has been given this as a safe pair of hands. the whole thing ends up looking like a promo simply for a glamorous lifestyle, for fast ca rs and designer apartments. although there is some kinky fetishism, it is very peripheral. what the film is really interested in is, wow, look at that private jet. it is a film about possessions and about those kind of aspirations. in the end it ends up looking like a commercial or pop promo. it makes you look back to the days of nine and a half weeks and think, wow, what a ground—breakin

historians often write more narrative driven books. i think that is all i will say. you are in the company of other scholars and you are in dialogue and their books help your book to be more compelling and it reflects on their book as well and that's a very good thing to do. where is in the trade press in your book may not fit in as well you may end up eating the nerd at the party as opposed to being a nerd among nerds. >> and nerd among nerds over a long span of time, nerds all the way. the nice thing about university press is we really want the book to have lasting staying power. we want their books to contribute to a debate and spark a debate that may last for decades. often it's said the ideal successful university press book is one that sells a thousand copies in its tenth year. in year 10, a thousand copies, not a thousand copies by year 10 10. and the reason being is that then is it book that is meaningful. people are using it for teaching and learning and it's had some kind of an impact on its field. where is the trade publisher really they are wanting to mak

the fed normalization narrative is well in place.e know they've been normalizing policy for the past few years. the change in the ecb rhetoric is something that is notable. i think it has led to higher rates in europe and has also spent over into the u.s.. vonnie:'s mario draghi finally getting good at signaling to the market just as he begins to look to something different? there's going to be a new president of the ecb at some point. guest: i think mario draghi has managed this quite effectively. i think the transition from what i would call emergency policy settings to transitioning to more normal policy settings, i think he is managing that transition very well. i think you're right. this next year is the end of his term, and i think by the time he is replaced with the next ecb president, we will look back on this era as being an era of effective munication by the ecb president. nejra: does the ecb or the fed come with one of them has more potential to catch markets offguard this year? richard: given that both central banks rely
