the other element is combatting the ideology, combatting the narrative, combatting the narrative that the west and the united states is basically declaring a war on islam and unfortunately throughout the war on terrorism we played into the narrative of the bad guys. the invasion of iraq, for example, with no reason, played into that. secret jails and black site played into that. guantanamo bay played into that. dealing in the middle east without a strategy, comprehensive strategy of where we want to go played into that. recent messages from the administration about muslim bans, for example, plays into that. the increase of islamophobia in the west, even by politicians taking the extreme fringes and making them mainstream in our society is playing into that. so unfortunately today, today, we are in way worse situation than it used to be, i believe, before 9/11. >> what? >> absolutely. i'll give you an example -- >> you just said we took down the network. the united states has just declared where its coalition that it has if not killed off -- >> until 2003. >> -- severely neutralized is

so i do think there is that driving force of the narrative. congratulations. point of view i could feel that more in here. >> the stakes are very different in the story is very different it is about and atrocity and being held accountable and how d it happen? then is anybody being held accountable? i took the same approach just wanting not to get in the way of the narrative as much as possible but i needed some material and to use a couple of characters to deal with this material the mule can carry some of the weight of that but this is about the global supply chain and part of that is the detective story and the way to move that -arrative forward can be compelling. given the emotional power of what y happened, i also want to tell it as straight as i i could but if you are a reader but not into sympathy with her then you are her defense lawyer. [laughter] but even so i interviewed them for the book i interviewed all the lawyers with all the moments in the case as well. i'm not sure even them have thatnk perspective. and a lot of them know that i do mostly inve

susan: so they can decide how to think about it based on hearing someone else's narrative. jane: oh, yes. to get to know the people. one thing we try to do in building the american republic is to have characters and plots and voices and narrative attention. those things that get people to read the big biographies. there's a great books, and part for those reasons. susan: we will give you one more plug at it. this is "building the american republic, volume two," give a nod to your co-author, wilson, professor of history at the university of north carolina chapel hill. volume, a first magnificent, much larger than mine, magnificent work of history. you can get the blue volume with the picture of the uncompleted capitol on a cover. thank you for spending time with american history tv. we appreciate it. announcer: you are watching american history tv. 48 hours of programming on american history every weekend on c-span3. follow us on twitter@c-span history. keep up with the schedule and the latest history news. 30 years ago between may 29 and june 2, 1988, president ronald reaga

we have two memoirs and fun first person narrative which is interesting for our kind of panel. the books are a little bit in tension with each other on various points in the south i want to ask you all 31st about something that is definitely central to each of the books and that his vitamins a. all of them protrude the humanities of those that commit to violence that makes it interesting if you are trying to understand what they are up to and why they do what they do. and in two cases that seemed to be driven primarily by ideology. yours focuses on ideology and isaac's book is more of a family history in which he starts from the circumstances, personal demons, problematic family life. so i wanted to ask each of you about the difference, the goal violence plays in the stories and in the groups that you join or in your case your family as well as ideology. for all three of you some of the at playcumstances are in all of the groups you study including poverty and lack of education and family structures that don't necessarily bring up children in the most positive way. >> i guess i

>> the happened ling of this case disproves the russian narrative. democrats don't care about hacking or foreign meddling. what they did in this case is to decide to knowingly allow the united states government to be hacked by pakistanis for six months until right after the election so they would peddle a phony russian narrative. they would go to any link to smear donald trump with this. but what the democrats did here is treason. they allowed the united states to continuous lie be hacked by these bad guys so they could stay the russian narrative. you couldn't have it both ways. if they arrested these guys it's all over the media. and it becomes ridiculous for the democrats. fool he once, shame on you, fool me ten times, shame on the democrats with their i.t. getting hacked again and again by extreme negligence. this would have been the october surprise that would have ensured a victory by donald trump and the house of representatives withheld that knowledge from voters. lou: and debbie wasserman schultz at the forefront of it all, as the person who

be right does this tell us anything about the official thinking it tells a little bit about the narrative within north korea and about the pressure under which can john find himself so he has to deliver value to flee quickly to make this a success at home he needs to lift he needs those sanctions to be lifted balance of the quickly because the economic pressure currently is very high that china has already come to his help and immediately said that at this point in time with this successful summit maybe it could should be considered to lift sanctions or to lift the degree of sanctions at the united nations so this is the situation that we're in at the moment china has actually alluded to it this supports the narrative that kim jong un is trying to pursue an approach to display at home just really interesting because when we think of north korea when we think of supreme leaders we presume that what they say goes and this is not you but you talk about him being under pressure will hit the maximum pressure campaign and the sanctions that china actually has and forced this time around have pu

so narrative.e're in the beginning stages of what is a mushrooming spotlight, right, on immigration policy and what it really means in terms of what's our identity. and so, you know, it's pretty easy pickings to say that immigration policy isn't working. it's audacious this president has racialized debate the way he has. i think it makes a lot of people feel really uncomfortable. the images of charlottesville, talking about mexicans as rapists. we're in a different time than we've ever been. as a long time immigrant advocate, i can tell you having been trained by a lot of media professionals, we are always told not to call people racists. because they don't like to be called racists. i get that. but i am sensing that we're in a bit of a different time now. like you can't call it anything but that. how to begin to articulate that in a way that's constructive, that people can see a solution and not just name calling. that people who have legitimate concerns about the number of folks who come into thi

so narrative. we are, we're still very much in the beginning stages of what is a much -- a mushrooming spotlight, right, on immigration policy and what it really means in terms of what's our identity. and so it's, you know, it's pretty easy pickings to say that our immigration policy isn't working. it's audacious that this president has racialized this debate the way he has, and i think it makes a lot of people feel really uncomfortable. i think, you know, the images of charlottesville, i think talking about mexicans as rapists, you know, we're just in a very different time than we've ever been. as a long item is time immigrant advocate i can tell you having been train by a lot of media professionals, we're always told not to call people racist because they don't like to be called racist. [laughter] i get that, but i am sensing that we're in a bit of a different time now, because like you can't, you can't call it anything but that. and how to begin to articulate that in a way that is constructive,

but i'm talking about a narrative of the war lack of faith in the government and what the narrative does is to allow that group of alliances and increase paramilitary and increase violence so the title of my book bringing the war home calls our attention to the way white power is related to others in the same time period. a very literal extension in civilian space and a major activist throughout his life with the white revolution he would wage at home. including interventions and the gulf war. he remembered nothing else it overruns times and space. and two other takeaways. and that was covered in reported at the time it occurred. with morning news shows and then we knew about that. and with that misunderstanding and that strategy to construct that ideology particularly after oklahoma city. that left open the possibility every surgeon so that we knew and we forgot. so there are many misconceptions and to discuss power violence and that it is a social movement. that the religious ceremonies or even as those with cross burnings or public rallies. it is difficult to understand how the action

the president is attempting to control the narrative.hat's what people in the republican party like about him. is that he is able to change and control the narrative so quickly and it's because people in congress are not standing up to him and telling him, that look, we've got our powers and you've got your powers, let us do our job. he's trying to do this. because the hard-line immigration bill failed last week. that's an embarrassment for him. so the compromise bill that's being talked about for the upcoming week is just something i think the president just doesn't want to deal with. he is trying to put out a fire at this point and i hope that congressional republicans will stand up and tell him, it's high time, the american public wants us to act on immigration. this has been a failure of both parties in my opinion to be honest. we got to this point because they as far as back as 2005, could not act on comprehensive immigration reform. we are where we are today because our elected leaders have failed us, that's on both sides. >> chris

narrative that is meant by the coverage.le girl one of the separated from the parents and it's just not so. don't we deserve an apology from the editors of "time" for this? >> well, it's the latest in a series of anti-trump covers on "time" magazine, "time" making no effort to hide outright disdain. david: this is a lie, one thing to have anti-trump. this is portraying something that's not true. >> okay, i could make the case that at the time the magazine went to press, everybody in the press believed this picture of the two-year-old honduran girl was iconic, taken by a pulitzer prize-winning photographer, thought she was separated. but the fact that it's been revealed, no longer dispute about it and "time" saying we stand by it because it's a metaphor, that's why people hate the media. own the mistake, if we had known, and we are sorry, "time" magazine not doing that. david: makes sense, so many false narratives. goes back to where this started about a month ago when we had information, photos put out by democratic operativ

and i think my answer always focuses really on the power of the story and of narrative and the story that is so deeply entrenched that racial profiling and police violence and state violence is something that happens exclusively to black men, that we perceive to be not transgender and not gay even though they might be. and that violence against women is something that only happens to white women in private spaces. and some of us are just out here in the cold experiencing violence of both kinds every day without it being seen as part of any of those stories. and so the goal with invisible no more was to really expand our understanding of police violence and racial profiling and mass incarceration and mass criminalization in this country by bringing into that narrative the stories of black women and girls that have driven the growth in the women's prison population by 700% over the past four decades. which means the rate of growth of the women's prison population has increased at a rate 50% greater than the rate of incarceration for men. so one of the stories of the women who wind up i

and that could easily become the new narrative even if it is ridiculous here it the thing, it is not just f.a.n.g that is going higher strength extends throughout tek. dropbox is crushing it in a world where content is increasingly scattered, people need a unified home for this stuff and that is dropbox. 11 million now and the company has a network of 500 company free users microsoft has extraordinary cloud growth twitter is getting revalued upward who want more than just facebook and google square and paypal are not f.a.n.g being going higher paypal is going international making itself popular thanks to venmo. red hat is going higher because it helps on board more traffic to the cloud same for new relic another cloud stock that won't quit that is not part of f.a.n.g. but people refuse to acknowledge it diamond back and pioneer join. there is plenty of stuff in the market that is working you don't hear about it because it doesn't fit the gloomy narrative. here is the bottom line. glum is the word it is all pervasive as investors freak out about president trump's tough trade policy an

there's also risk of conflicting narratives. our narratives is that trump's pressure and rhetoric forced north korea to the table to give up their nuclear weapons. north korea's narrative is completely different. it's that they're a nuclear test, greater leadership of kim jong-un forced the american president to go to asia to meet their leader as a nuclear equal and to give up military exercises. that can cause problems down the road. >> that's what is playing out. the concessions that the united states gave, not north korea at all. >> just being face-to-face with president trump and kim jong-un throughout all of this, it is difficult to imagine they accomplish aid great deal during one diaw of talks. it was remarkable to be in the same room with kim jong-un and say change is coming. that he is going to change. if president trump somehow stumbled into some kind of historic moment here where he does bring north korea in from the cold, i think it will be unquestionably a big success for him. but at this point we're talking about a

mark: could it also be that there are organizations that push the narrative that the left wants pushed? organizations like cair as an example. organizations like cair being that domestic organizations with a foreign influence that really are the counter to your organization and this reformation that you're talking about, taken much more fundamentalist approach to sharia la and they are seen in the media and they are seen in government all the time. i want your opinion on this, in one moment. ladies and gentlemen, you can join us almost every week night on levin tv at crtv.com, at crtv.com. i hope you'll join us. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ ♪ i love you baby applebee's 2 for $20, now with steak. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood.

i also feel like fresh equals like the perfect enemy like the dr evil for america is a very good narrative for americans. having russia as an enemy is much more logical than this undefined terrorism thing maybe we're show us relations are actually a victim to a perfect narrative that russia fits into a perfect enemy. there's there's something very important to what you're saying i think it works both ways i think we have this reciprocal us in russia and america is a good enemy for russia and part of it is as you say it's almost psychological if it wasn't there you have to create it there's a tendency to find a demon or an adversary the black and whites the cowboy but there's also concrete things that each side have done to help fuel that enemy image but you're right we are the two biggest powers in the world still china is. a century and that doesn't help it and i don't mean to say the cold war is back the way it was at say in the sixty's seventy's or through the eighty's but we stand astride the world and we have this relationship that eased a bit after the cold war but then we both fell

president trump shifting the narrative and recapture the narrative and argue what we are talking about is more than the children being taken from their family. that was the big crisis as we entered the week. he reminded everyone with these angel moms. let's share some of their statements at the white house. >> none of our kids had a minute to say good-bye. we weren't lucky enough to be separated for five to ten days. we were separated permanently. >> our separation is permanent. >> they could fill the stage up for the next five months with families' victims of illegal i willien crime. >> there are thousands of us who don't get to go home to our kids anymore. charles: the last mom brought tears to my eyes. she says she contemplated committing suicide. you can never understand the feign of losing a child. >> when we talk about the victims of illegal immigration, democrats and the media seem to focus on people caught up in the system that's sometimes unfair. 99 out of 100 times they forget about these families who faced permanent separation. these families you never see unless trump has t

lots of issues that one could pluck out and tug on if one wants to make points or push a certain narrativei am going to remain focused on how this relationship has also one of the most successful trading relationships in the history of the modern world. where two countries have worked together, grown together and prosper together in innumerable ways over the past decade. over the past century and a half to the tremendous benefit of citizens in both our countries. there will always -- there have always been challenges in our relationship as deep and complex as this one and my focus remains on tremendous benefits that we can draw if we work together thoughtfully in ways that create the win's that are out there. >> what is the narrative you ink is behind this? prime min. trudeau: i am not in a position to opine on the innovations of the president. i'm going to stay focused on the relationship that we are building on defending canada's interests. looking for ways to further push the benefits of improving and modernizing nafta that will accrue to people in both our countries. >> canadian press.

breaking point. —— you saudi narrative.ddle bit more. —— you sort the narrative. and we were able to appreciate the scale of these things. my uncle in the 60s tried to buy a house in huddersfield and was refused, they wouldn't sell the house to him because he was brown and they didn't wa nt to because he was brown and they didn't want to devalue the area. and the race relations act had just come in that year and he said, you know that no illegal. welcome was the first person to bring a case on race! under the race relations act. —— case on race discrimination. and the judgment was reserved, i think he was a test case and so... there was a technicality, thejudge had to reservejudgment but a technicality, thejudge had to reserve judgment but he did say in his summation that discrimination had occurred and they did change their policy after that. but by uncle and i were talking about this in 2017 and i'm kind of working on edits of the book, and we see this news story of a landlord in kent has been taken to court because he wo

how do you think we can change the narrative in schools? particularly in schools. >> it's an interesting question and we need to find how they mixed together. we have become so cynical even that we have a tendency to see that civil war soldiers are reduced to economic creatures. there are examples. it prevents at west virginia university, who is finishing a book on the soldier economy of the north, there are some horrible outrageous soldiers committed and were committed against them. brian was very smart in showing how that is an economic transaction, how they are connected to hire ideas such as free labor ideology and the war. my answer to you is to show how economics and ideology intersect. he is the champion, he is the poster boy for free labor ideology. it held out the promise that any man come a white man could rise up the social ladder. what did abraham lincoln see you go a good and moral and virtuous society. the volunteers change over time. they are going to take shots at this book because let's say your sample wasn't broad enough.

that's popular but then there's the narrative and american people assessing whatever it is that they hear and see in the t.v. so when when you do things straight or when others do things you usually imagine yourself doing it like you imagine like this is what you do so that's why the others do it for instance i'm sure like for americans russia crimea russia syria is the same thing as americans going to libya or iraq or afghanistan for that matter but really it's so much different because russia crimea is like united states and florida and russia syria is actually really handling immediate threats of homegrown terrorism extremism right next to a border it's not a will or over the ocean for us you know everywhere for america and war over the ocean that has nothing to do with proximity of your borders so do you feel like americans they actually see these one assessing russia's actions no difference it's an american actions are from russian action whether it goes all the way back to the second world war and the feeling of vulnerability to repeated invasions from germany from the west and

and unfortunately you know if that narrative involves putting the blame on the people who are really the only people who went in there and saved lives then there's not much we can do about that i think the public won't be full the public know exactly what went on on that night and the survivors the relatives of the victims they know the work that goes. brave men and women did on that night you know as they were running away from the danger we were running in and i don't think anyone can question the actions of those firefighters or not you don't really are confident though i mean obviously to resume was elected as minority leader in the in the ridge government after it and she said only the other day for those who thought she should have maybe met survivors in the aftermath of the it seemed as though i didn't care but it was in the case and she regrets it going to be honest with the trees i'm a came down and met the firefighters and staged a photo op that's that's not important you know what's important to us is justice justice justice for every one of those seventy two men women and

right does this tell us anything about the official thinking it tells us a little bit about the narrative within north korea and about the pressure under which can john find himself so he has to deliver value to fit quickly to make this a success at home he needs to lift he needs those sanctions to be lifted relatively quickly because the economic pressure currently is very high that china has already come to his help and immediately said that at this point in time with this successful summit maybe it could should be considered to lift sanctions or to lift a degree of sanctions at the united nations so this is the situation that we're in at the moment china has actually alluded to it this supports the narrative that kim jong un is trying to pursue to display at home on military drills president trump has said that he's suspending the joint u.s. south korea military maneuvers yet there are still drills slated to go ahead in oldest and though it appears to have told the generals organizing these exercises to counsel them so is this more of him sort of making stuff up i'm on the hoof and tha

we will not let anyone define our narrative. this article that diane gray wrote, the article that commissioner cooke and i wrote, we're not going to let people define our narrative anymore, so if we have to -- [applause] >> -- if we have to be out being the marketing for the value of the great schools that exist in our community, we will do so. so no matter what underhanded, misguided, subjective villain form, mischievous and misinformation they use, our schools are changing. let me just say what an sfusd education can do. i want you to look at that black man sitting in the middle, superintendent of our public school system. got his entire education, all the way through his doctorate in the city and county of san francisco in our public school system.

the narratives we don't see are the narratives of the crime, the opioids, these strong -- the smugglers, people killed by gang members. american children who are recruited and then taste and beaten. we don't have a balanced view of what happening to what is happening at the border is the border is being overrun by those who have no right to cross it. if you areefore, seeking asylum, go to a port of entry. you do not need to break the law of the united states to seek asylum. families are being separated at ports of entry. >> that is incorrect. we do, based on the high standards we have, if we do not have enough personnel on staff, if we do not have enough caretakers, can we tell people that come to the border that they need to come back. we are not turning them away, we are same you in the right way but right now we do not have the resources of this particular moment in time. >> are you intending for this to play out as it is plain out? are you intending for parents to be separated from their children? are you intending to send a message? i find that offensive. why would i create a polic

we are more important than europe narratively, right? because we are a superpower. you know, that's how mr. putin refers to us. we're a superpower. how could we have intervened in your elections, you're a superpower. and i think for russian public opinion like that notion that russia and america are somehow comparable because we're superpowers with armies and so on, that's important narratively. in that particular sense. but i think politically europe is much more important over the long run. and i think we have to learn to distinguish our narrative function and also learn not to fall into this particular discourse with them about the superpowers and the geopolitics. i think can one thing which happened to us in '14 with ukraine is that we fell for that. this is about the superpowers and the geopolitics as opposed to being about the rule of law and the super boring association agreement with the european union. it's narratively important for them and also be a bit of a trap for us. >> i'd like to thank freedom house for partnering with us, but above all, thank timot

thread that it follows simple wanted that good narrative thread inch telling the story of the civil war as a story, you have characters who are important, you look at those most important characters and follow them. the decisions they make have constant sequences which lead to -- consequences which lead to other things. some thing that go into the story are the assumption that individuals are significant. sure, masses of people of significant. millions of people are significant, but individuals are significant. abraham lincoln made decisions, jefferson davis, lee, grant made decisions and those decisions made a difference and many other people at lower levels made decisions that had significant consequences that changed the course of history. and so people make significant decisions and another thing i think they goes into telling a story is that history is not evidence inevitable. don't like the word inevitable for history. nothing is inevitable if people make different decisions the decisions they make are important but nothing about that had to if people made different decisions.

of course he wants to shift the narrative.errible narrative of children being separated from their parents at the border so yes i agree with you. he's trying to shift the narrative but it's ineffective. i think americans see right through it. >> you've raised the level of your rhetoric as well, congresswoman. you put out a tweet that had a very harsh suggestion for a member of the trump administration. as i told politico, i don't think most americans understand that a 33-year-old with connections to white supremacists is crafting policies that are going to literally destroy our country and what we stand for, stephen miller should be fired, he should not be in the white house. why single him out? >> because stephen miller has been an architect of many of the policies that the president has put forward, the muslim ban was stephen miller's creation. he has actually in the time he was in the senate he has been working on a lot of these policies trying to get them through, and his whole belief is that this kind of racial animus, if

the collusion narrative is more a collusion narrative with the hillary clinton campaign and christopher teal and some of the other contacted. when we see this, all the evidence would suggest the fbi and doj are not coming clean. jim jordan said this right. we are having to get documents and read the document and find the evidence they should have been forthcoming with. it's note just about a judge. it's about the redactions made or and over again. it's the fact that brennan, the cia director briefed harry reid on some of this information with the knowledge of the white house. judge jeanine: the obama white house. >> exactly. we have to get to the bottom of it. judge jeanine: that's where i'm going in two minutes. so rod rosenstein, the guy who appoint mueller who is a friend of comey to investigate the president of the united states, because rosenstein convinced sessions to back out. the whole thing if you throw a movie on this, no one would believe it. he says the hse committee on intelligence that's constitution alley obligated to have oversight on the department of justice is committ

we need narrative to unite us because otherwise we don't have peace. what's playing in the universities and in broader society is the debate between two fundamental low-resolution narratives, neither of which can be completely accurate because they can't encompass all the details obviously human beings have an individual element and a collective element and a group element. the question is what story should be paramount and this is how it looks to me. in the west we have reasonably funcalfree, remarkably productive, stable, hierarchies that are open to consideration of the dispossessed that the ies are r your and ly create functioning more effectively than any societies anywhere else in the world and en any society ever has. as far as i'm concerned, and i think there's good reason to assume this, it is the fundamental low-resolution grand narrative that we have oriented ourselves around in the west is one of sovereignty of the individual. it is predicated on the idea that all things considered, the best way for me to interact with someone else is indiv

capri: it mays i to the narrative president trump thinks he's above the law. the "new york times" annotated 0 pages with footnotes showing what they are trying to make the point the president is showing that he thinks he's above the law. howie: ahead. are some pundits defending samantha bee for slamming ivanka trump? when we come back. more on the president and the russia probe and his latest blast at jeff sessions. -here comes the rain.

there was only one narrative that was the washington post narrative so for example we didn't know at the time three of the burglars were still on the cia people and reporting to the case officer we did not know that john had directed tony the two private detective most decorated new york police officers working for the white house weeks for the break-in to case that out and in their own biographies there was only one narrative. so if there was the alternative news media he would have had a better chance to make his case but i will say this and it's important, nixon was great and flawed stage strategic arms with the soviets opening the door to china and desegregated the public schools. he saved unilateral leave in the yom kippur war and launched affirmative-action for minority enterprises and at the same time launched a racist war on drugs which has beenai a failure gave wage and price controls for he was both very great and very flawed and it is time his presidency be seen in balance the most eloquently at president nixon's funeral not judged on his entire record and i think it shows

of course, there's some utility in a collectivist narrative.ut, the collectivist narrative that i regard as politically correct is a strange pastiche of postmodernism and neo-marxism. it's claim is no, you essentially are a member of the group. that group may be your ethnicity, sex, race or any of the endless numbers of other potential groups that you belong to because you belong to many of them. you should be categorized along with those who are like you on that dimension in that group. that is prepositioned number one. proposition number two is the proper way to view the world is as a battleground between two groups of power. you define the groups first and then you assume that you viewed the individual from the group context. you view the battle from the group context and you view history of health as a consequence of nothing but the power maneuvers between different groups. that eliminates any consideration of the individual at any fundamental level and also, any idea -- for example, free speech. if you're collectivist at heart, there is no
