the west was that the attacks had been conducted by muslim jihadi yes a does that mean that the new york nazi threat is overlooked by special forces today and in europe and countries i would say it's overlooked by a lot of course the first. first reaction to any terrorist attack not not only now but if you remember what happened in ninety ninety five in oklahoma when a. sane person ultimately mark we destroyed federal building also everybody was convinced that that was a islamic jihad or something like that and for us then people started to to to be terrified by that this is groom homegrown terrorism so of course the the society is everywhere and authorities. are now for pure stand on muslims which as we see quite frequently which is not not entirely correct and in scanner for example there is a long all traditional for racism and then and so to say white power movement but it has also always been very marginal and maybe because of that it's overall we have seen a steady rise of rightwing anti immigrant parties especially europe over the last couple of years do you think that the norwegian ma

everyone well for some answers i'm joined by radio host and economics blogger jimmy chicopee nazis in our new york studio. thanks for being here so i was actually in new york on our studio let's talk a little bit about what happened in the world today in europe eight banks failed a stress test two were great five were spanish one other so despite the bailout somewhere like greece despite austerity measures imposed on the people there as a result of the terms of them have those policies that were meant to curb the euro's and zone debt crisis worked. well i mean no that's true they certainly haven't worked and it's just more bailouts the stress test that we had in europe today are widely perceived to be a joke just like the previous ones because two reasons one they look at a number of reasons but one primary one is that they look at the trade in book another banking book they also don't price in a full default in the haircut that they look at the highest haircut i saw i think were for greek sovereign default and that was around twenty six percent and the market is priced in a much higher haircut fo

nazi regime by the time this first year comes to an end. it is clear that she did continue her allegiance. >> your book has been on the new york times top 5 for a couple of months now. >> i think so. much to my relief. >> why? i sometimes think that and i wondered to myself how i dared do a book about the nazis. it is not like there are not enough books out there already. it is a heavily written about subject. it is maybe only equalled by the civil war. to think that i could lead in there and say something new, i do not know. but i'm so relieved that audiences seem to get it. they seem to appreciate that this is a different kind of look at that era through a very different perspective it seems to have caught on. ofyou know that you're one those authors were people look forward and say we have another one of those stories. how well did "thunderstruck" to do? >> it did well. it hit the new york times best- seller list. it did not do as well as "devil in a white city." it was more of a guidebook, i think. when those taking this book around the country, on the book tour, i would always hear "thunderstruck was my favorite of your books." >> and it

nazis, they will see a film called the first avenger. what gives? marvel and paramount studios are not commenting. but a source tells the new york times it was made for reasons of culture and politics, in addition to brand awareness. >> in russia and ukraine, the captain america brand is not as strong as it is in other foreign countries. and surprise, surprise. anti-american sentiment in all of these countries plays a role, particularly in south korea, where many younger people resent the presence of the u.s. military. they would rather be part of north korea. i don't know. this makes me as angry as a cute, angry kitten. [chuckles] [growling] >> me too, angry kitten. i am just as outraged as you are over this segment that we i trying to get through. what is this about? is about hating america? >> first of all, russia, didn't we win the cold war? south korea, didn't we fight for you to be free? and ukraine has been weak since that episode on a game board. so maybe we should tell them to call it whatever they want to call it. but when they get in to see the movie, it's "sex in the city 2." >> that's almost an act of war. >> why re

castle, that presents a nazi victory in world war two because there is no roosevelt to mobilize the nation. or you think about 1931 when a visiting british politician in new york but the wrong way are crossing the street into revenue. you know, birds look this way. we look that way. hit by taxi. developed pleurisy and almost died. a slightly different injury, slightly worse alice.

nazis and the holocaust every week people think you have left the reservation. >> thank you for avoiding any words that will get us suspended. >>> still to come, a "new york timese feud that just won't die. media monitor is next. >>> closing arguments in the casey anthony murder trial began this morning and msnbc and fox news are taking it live, as is cnn's sister network hln. this tragic case, to me, is the most over covered trial since o.j. and i hate the way the media turned it in to a soap opera. the "new york times" media column tweeted if i were booking tv like bill maher the last person ever i would choose to be me. >> he stepped in it with these words. >> i think new jersey is more sophisticated because i'm from there. >> if it's missouri, no big deal. that's the sloping foreheads, the middle places. did i just say that aloud? >> yes. >> slow low sloping foreheads. carr got a lot of flak as a snob and he said the middle place that i come from i apologize for saying something so dumb on bill maher last night. it was a bad joke delivered badly. david carr is from minnesota. i doubt he's attempting to insult everyone who lives in the mid 'ole the country.

nazis. >>> being american, what does it mean to you? that's what our next guest wants to find out. constantineo duras begins an 8 month journey today. >> a walk across the country from new yorkeople along the way to discover and define being american. he joins us this morning from his starting off point, the first avenue coffee shop on new york city's upper east side. welcome, you look like you are ready to go. it's so nice to meet you. what are you hoping to find, prove and accomplish on this journey? >> well, i'm hoping to find people. i'm hoping to find americans who will be willing to talk to me. you know, i came to this country ten years ago, wanting to be an american, and now i'm eligible for u.s. citizenship. so i want to go on and find people and i know what being an american means to me and why i came to this country. i want to find people who will share with me what being an american means to them. >> i want to put up a map that shows your route across the country. you're going to be spending your -- most of your time in the lower 48 states. it's not -- doesn't look like the world's most direct route to me. why did you pick the route that you picked? >> so actually
