so neal conspiracy i think holds ground that these stories that develop and the conspiracy theories on the shooting of james meredith once was thought it was a conspiracy against them so they use it as a weapon against the cell rights movement i find absolutely fascinating. >> host: so wrapping up what is the final thing you would like viewers and readers to know about this book blacks. >> guest: again i see the book as a way to tell a broader story about the civil rights movement by telling a very specific dramatic story about the civil rights movement. it occurs over three weeks at the start of the crossroads. it's a classic story and historians know something about the meredith march but this book tries to expand it and illuminate it and it shoots off in these different direction so it gives you a chance to think about if you are going to read one book on the civil rights movement i would hope they might consider reading this one. >> host: as i said it was colorful and it was detailed and well researched and had the combination of interviews and research images made the main charact

did if we fail to see the long-term dangers of the spread of neal salafism in a nonterrorist form andiss the significance of that? did we have an overly optimistic and basically false notion of the role that the muslim brotherhood might play as the reform faction within political islam and is there also some kind of possible re-think about the actual viability of being able to achieve through diplomatic means a just, two-state solution to the israel-palestine issue? of course you know as a historian that at the time and chairman administration recognition of israel secretary of state marshall and the joint chiefs of staff warned about the dangers of partition and envisioned the united states role being reduced to a military presence and losing a lot of leverage. my question is ,-com,-com ma is the u.s. possibly going through a kind of correction of some deep and fundamental misjudgments that formed u.s. policy over period of time and maybe we are doing some correctives to come back and try something better? >> let me answer the first part of that. perhaps we could take a crack at the

in this instance, the ration a neal for this program -- rationale for this program is that all of the data has to be collected so that connections can be made, algorithms can be applied, an us can disclose -- analysis can do disclose whether or not there are communications that may raise national security concerns. so i guess my question to the panel and particularly to the dissenters -- ms. brand and ms. cook -- doesn't this disclosure that only 30% of these records were actually collected because of the explosion in cell phone use, a legitimate reason, perhaps, that the government was unable to collect all raise questions not only about the efficacy of the program, but also about its legal foundation? >> i think for the reasons chairman explained it's touchy for us to talk about this because i'm not clear exactly on what's classified and what's true. and so we can't get into that here. but i do think if there were on a perspective basis if there were an institutional reason why the government would only be able to collect 30% of the records and that's it forever, that would diminish

neal spelled out. what this means to you. . if you're a consumer with a credit card, if we did not take this action today, interest rates could skyrocket, making it harder for families to get loans, for small businesses to invest, spend and hire. again, on your kitchen table, as you pay the bills each month, you would have higher interest rates for your mortgage, your car payments, your student loans and your credit card bills. higher interest rates once again on small business loans that are useed to -- that are used to pay employees or expand business. significant blows would come to 401-k's as a result of the stock market reaction to our not lifting the debt ceiling. credit markets could freeze the value of the dollar -- could freeze, the value of the dollar would be negatively impacted. so there's a great deal at stake in this vote today. and, again, at the time when we have to lift the debt ceiling, it is appropriate to have a discussion of spending priorities, of budgets that should be a statement of our values. but there

you couple that with bob eldridge and neal black, and you have an unbelievable we think growth story with a diversified business portfolio. >> bring us behind the scenes a little bit so we understand what happened. would have been covering this, i almost feel like for months looking at the men's warehouse and joesest a. banks deal back and forth. it felt like a little bit of ego got in the way of that transaction. both sides wanted to ultimately merge, but both sides wanted to run the company. >> i think it was more than that. we approached men's wearhouse last september. we did it quietly. talking to doug ebert, the coo. we sent them a letter. we heard silence, silence, silence. we were patient. we happened to do a friendly deal. we talk about the synergies. we offered them a 42% premium over their price the day they sent the letter. a 26% premium over their last high over the last six years. and what happened? they not only leaked it to the press, they came back and they absolutely trashed our company and told us that we didn't know what we were doing. we grew over the last six yea

problem with this very narrow leadership and their political coloration that political coloration it neal nazi let's just say it and people in the east are terrified of it and they're worried that it's going to come there then we talk about separatism and that is in no one's interest well look you have a mini my dan in crimea right now i have to but it's very interesting to see how the west java treats go ahead daniel how the how the media in the west treats the two different events my dad in kiev they were protesters protesting for democracy the many my dan encroach in crimea now they're called government the gunmen have occupied parliament it's nato secretary general rasmussen said today it was dangerous and irresponsible for these people to occupy the parliament it's exactly what they did in kiev a couple of weeks ago when the west was praising the outbreak of democracy so democracy is what the west says it is it has nothing to do with the sacred vote of people in the voting booth ok james what i want to find as one of the things that you know what i think it's really going to change h

happen, saudi arabia, egypt, turkey, united arab emirates, so many other countries would feel the neal as well to get nuclear weapons and -- feel the need as well to get nuclear weapons and we would start a chain of events and who knows how it would end. i believe that we have to be very, very crystally clear. i hope that these negotiateations -- negotiations, the p-5 plus one with iran, bear fruit, but i think iran must understand that we are not backing off. we are not going back. that nothing short of their not being able to produce a nuclear weapon is acceptable. and iran must dismantle its nuclear weapons program. that is not something that just the united states wants, that is something that the negotiations are really and truly all about. i have said before that it troubles me that while we are negotiating with iran, iran continues to enrich uranium. it would seem to me that if the iran had good intentions, it would at least understand that if the purpose of the negotiations is that iran -- at the end of it iran will not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon, then it didn't seem s
