>> nietzsche. we have to separate the myth from the reality, which is that nietzsche did have moments of modest fame. actually his first book, the birth of tragedy had a pretty big reception, but then he did fade into obscurity. he was a professor, so professor of language. history of language, the geneology of language. he suffered from a lot of physical illments, so, i mean, historians and philosophers say why he had a tough time in the academy. due to reason that is we can imperfectly assess out was his health, that he needed to break free. lives on a pension the rest of his life and gets to inhabit the image of the free thinker that he so exalts and worships. he didn't have huge leadership. i say productive life because he has a nervous collapse and spends the last 11 years of his life in a very declining state, ends up in vegetative state. he discovered precisely in the months where his health is declining, shortly before the mental collapse. one of the terrible ironies of his life and ideas i

nietzsche put al-jazeera arabic move to heavily biased content in favor of the muslim brotherhood it lost a substantial share of its audience very rapidly through some newer egyptian channels but also to bbc arabic. so some are not sure the americans would be good at propaganda anyway but after looking at the numbers i'm convinced of this, honesty on the air is not only the right thing to do, it's also the best business strategy for the voice of america and the other broadcasters. of course but me tell you the truth even about us. coverage of the abu ghraib scandal the partisan ferguson missouri about police killings of young african-americans, that coverage was and had to be thorough, complete. each time voa reporters explain how this country deals with these challenges their journalism amounts to a civics lesson. that's more powerful in my view than any public agenda ever could be put after four years at the helm of voa have a lot of specific suggestions about how to impact audiences in specific markets from what we call denied areas like russia china and iran to more mature market

this often misunderstood, misinterpreted concept he goes un so readily dismissed by that nietzsches of the world's, as a weekend coward the force has now become an absolute necessity for the survival of men. of course it is easy for me to stand here and quote martin luther king. and feel good about myself for doing so. that there is nothing easy about the path that he showed us or the gospel that he preached. we invoke king need to ask ourselves if we are really ready to walk in his footsteps. king was a radical and a revolutionary, ready to give his life in the cause of justice. when those of us who appropriate his words say the same, then maybe can claim some tiny portion of his legacy. the title of king's last book poses the question facing us now. where do we go from here? chaos or community? we know that the crimes perpetrated on the planet today are a form of violence against our fellow human beings, profound racial and economic and generational in justice on a global scale. we know that if we are going to have a movement powerful enough to confront this has to come together acro

have been interaction between hillary and bernie sanders in taking place for me to see as far as nietzsche said if elizabeth warren and year and half ago and i would still go with hillary clinton. >> you talk in your essay how this isn't just your feelings at that time about those candidates, but over time you have also not necessarily accomplish, but no one is perfect in trying to square your feelings for one candidate or another. do you think you filled out more strongly because it's hillary clinton and the current situation we have or argue always on the fence? >> i tend to be on the fence as a voter as a rule. between barack and hillary, i voted for hillary because of her experience over his. but when he won the nomination, i was thrilled to vote for him. at this stage in the game, when we still do at the primaries, who do i want to represent me as a democrat, a woman in the big race, i would still be -- i would still have a hard time. i don't know how she would've campaigned. i don't know. i might go with warren. as veronica said, made it much more clear statement about the value of m

nietzsche. >> is there a nonfiction author you would like to see, see us an e-mail, tweet us at book tv or posta comment on our wall. facebook.com/booktv. >> chris responded to >> what was the security threat at the time? >> well benghazi was part of a country that had a government but the only place they had effective control was triply area. outside of triply, it didn't have any control whatsoever. when i first got there, you never saw any police around. everything was controlled by the malacia. 15 days before 9/11, before the attack happened, you started seeing police cars, but even the policemen were answer to the malacia. they would work for the government. >> it's just like afghanistan and iraq. you know, that day being 9/11 wasn't anymore threatening, maybe that's a better question or answer for it. it's always a threatening environment every day that you're there specially in areas like that that don't have a solid government. so, yeah, it's very dangerous but that's why we are there. that's why they bring us in. >> how many personnel such as yourselves, diplomatic security a

race as given the electorate some food for thought of taking people out of their entrenched little nietzsche'shat they believe in. can i add a side note? >> host: go ahead, quickly. >> caller: i wish you would knit some of the callers in the but because i personally find it offensive. there is no such thing as a black president or woman president or white president. by caller, gender has nothing to do with being intelligent and running for president. and i think you ought to get some of the, question some of the callers because obama the black president. that is absolutely no meaning whatsoever except to be derogatory. >> host: that is david in new york. the "new york times" takes a look at the democratic side of the presidential race. how far left the party stands saying while mrs. clinton has been institutional advantages, mr. sanders has electrified huge numbers of young people, the party the future with its critique of capitalism and adventure was foreign policy. he talked about the idea of being an establishment person. here he is from yesterday. >> mreacti >> my reaction is that they wou
