in early 1981, and at the time, the new republic, if i may say so, was -- it was the golden age. charles was there, and mike kensley and rick and what was interesting about it, at least to me, is that you had a group of people who had different ideas and frequently fought over them, but it was not a monolith. at any rate, charles won the national magazine award for commentary in 1984, a very coveted prize for anybody who is a magazine writer, and then in 1985 wrote for the washington post as a columnist. within two years, he won a pulitzer prize for commentary. since then, he continued to write for the "washington post," and what he taught me as an aspiring columnist was that write one column a week. it's hard to do more than that. even one is not size sigh. jeff called him the most powerful force in american conservatism, and i think that's an accurate description. david brooks called him the most important conservative columnist. you're going to hear from him tonight, and we'll have charles speak, questions from the floor, save up the questions. you're in for a real treat. char

[shouting in french] during those first radical years, david devoted his art to the new republic.ne of his friends and heroes was jean-paul marat, the journalist. this friend of the people came to a violent end. he was murdered in his bathtub by his political enemy-- charlotte corday. the day after marat's death, a deputation appeared in the national convention to offer regrets on behalf of the people. one deputy made a speech which is recorded by a contemporary of david, the historian delescluze. "what a crime is this. "a parricidal hand has robbed us "of the people's most determined defender, "a man who died for liberty. "we still look among you, expecting to see him here "among you, our representatives. "what a spectacle it was-- "this man in the moment of his death. "where are you, david? you have another picture to paint." and david spoke up, his voice choked with emotion, "yes, i will undertake it." david painted the picture in three months. the death of marat is a murder story, and we see all the clues to the murder-- the blood, the knife, the letter marat received from cha

and at the time "the new republic," if i may say so, was, it was the golden age.charles was there and mike kingsley and rick hertzberg and what was interesting about it, at least to me, was you had a group of people who had different ideas and frequently fought over them, but it wasn't a monolithment at any -- monolith. at any rate, charles won the national magazine award for commentary in 1984, a very cofted prize for anybody who's a magazine writer x. then in 1985 he went to work for "the washington post" as a columnist. and within two years he had won a pulitzer prize for commentary. since then he has continued to write for "the washington post". one of the things that charles taught me when i was an aspiring columnist was that you write one column a week. it's hard to do more than that. and even one is not so easy. joe scarborough called him the most powerful force in american conservativism, and i think that's an accurate, an accurate description. david brooks has called him the most important conservative columnist. you're going to hear from him tonight, and

so it remains for almost 500 years until the new republic of turkey in 1934 turned it into a museum and banned all overt worship. both christian and muslim. >> this was enough, not belonging to either one of those faiths but to the entire world, the cities of istanbul and to the visitors. >> reporter: free from the dictates of religion, there are growing calls o that the visions no longer right for turkey. this has staged many protests calling for it to be reopened as a place of worship, but only as a mosque. >> more than 90% of tusks are muslim. this state has been in muslim hands since 1453. it's out of christian to use it as a church. it should not be politicized because it's not just significant for church. it's important to muslims around the world. >> reporter: and they have political support. the deputy prime minister in recent weeks said he's hopeful about the change in designation. turkey is still exploring the relationship between mosque, church, and state. decades of secular rule tusks discovered did not depend human rights enough, but more human rights also means the freedom

obama's worst year, that was the headline in the new republic. obama had the worst year in washington, according to "the washington post." this was "the daily beast." worst fifth year ever? maybe, they concluded that president obama had not just a bad year, not just a terrible year, but he has had the worst year of his entire presidency and quite possibly the worst fifth year that a u.s. president has ever had. yes, we can take a break. maybe president obama had a trying year, yes, let's take a break, but let's consider some of the competition here for a minute when it comes to the title of worst fifth year ever for a president. it was in the fifth year of his presidency back in 1958 that lyndon johnson who was defeated, that he practically lost the new hampshire democratic primary to a gadfly senator, it was just months into his presidency where he had to go on television and make this announcement. >> i do not believe that i should devote an hour a day of my time to any personal partisan causes, or to any duties other than the awesome duties of

it wasn't before long that marty, a publish for new republic magazine tried to get me to write a pieceneglected to call him back. he got three weeks of trades off of that answering machine. he said he made more money from my answering machine than years from professional money managers and wanted to give me half a million to manage. he said he had confidence in me. shortly thereafter, he did give me a check for half a million dollars. that was real money back then. i had it in my hands. like too hot for the touch. i ran down to fidelity with the money. i went right to work trading. almost immediately i lost a ton of it. and i could see how i would have to wash dishes at marty's house and mow the lawn for 127 years for blowing the 500 gs i had blown. my mistake that's clint eastwood told us, a man has to know his own limitations. you can't put the money to work all at once, you can do so only after ideas you knew had a chance to pan out. knowing that you would be gone whether it worked or not to keep that discipline intact. ivy lated my own rules and i had blown it. i confessed to marty

the point i made in the "new republic" article is this is a challenge of the country and will hurt politiciansright. >> i think we have seen politicians across the country really respond. jerry brown campaigned on raising taxes in wealthy californians to close their budget gap. they have now a surplus for the first time in decades. >> right. >> his popularity is increasing so i think the argument that economic populism or addressing inequality or worried about economic mobility is a problem is wrong and what makes people attracted to the democratic party in the first place. >> adam, final word to you, briefly. take off the table any suggest this is not a good message for democrats or frankly any smart politician and i hope they mean it and do something if they get elected and progressive change campaign, this is something you focused on quite a bit resonating with people. >> absolutely. you know, it's not hypothetical. working with candidates to promote this message on the campaign trail. we're happy that just this past week a wonderful woman running in wisconsin actively called out her oppone
