we were naked and to our enemies and so that is the kind of thing we're used to hearing in oslo and its controversial because after all he gives you three thought full common sense speech. >> host: he was also a proper figure. >> guest: when i say controversial i mean by the classis, controversial prize on the left among academics people revere george marshall who said in reconstructive europe he did something herbert hoover did after. he was heavily nominated for the peace prize but never won at. >> host: 1958 figure if it was prominent then is ralph bunche that stood out at the time of two very well remembered today but another interesting figure. can you talk about it in the book? >> guest: i remember being to the committee on a postage stamp and i was glad to see that. he was one of the most impressive men we have known it yet he was born in 1904. born in detroit makes his way to his grandmother. the parents are gone and he went to a white high school in a los angeles he's a sports star and a valedictorian, sports story and all the treen of ucla we're talking about a young black ame

they just wanted him to come to oslo. they had this bauble to give, and he's the world's great rock star, the number one figure. how do we bring the u.s. president, president obama, to our, to our remote, icy little capital? well, we've got the nobel peace prize to give him. [laughter] and the committee just wallet today bask in his glory. well, the committee chairman could boost him in europe to have obama as the winner. so, matt, i hear this one fellow say this, and i think to myself, that's ridiculous. just nonsense. i hear it from a second norwegian. and a ninth and a fifteenth and a twenty-fifth. i'm in norway, and i discover that whether it's true or not, everyone thinks it. everyone thinks it. i don't know. i think that obama is a person after the norwegian nobel committee's own heart. i think they view him as sharing a world view, they consider him a kind of political or philosophical soul mate, a fellow social democrat. i think george w. bush was a president out of their nightmares. barack obama's a president out

him and told him to refuse it, and he told him to stuff it, and they wouldn't let him out to go to oslo help died in a sanitarium. they gave him better quarters but he died in 1938, i think. and it was a gutsy decision of the nobel committee because germany was threatening the norwegian government. and it would be very bad for norway, and norway had stayed neutral in the first world war and were hoping to say neutral in the second one if there was too be one. sweden was very cross over this, and hitler and his government for bad any germans to accept any prizes in any fields and they created their own prizes. >> host: i believe the first of three times when that was done because the sowf yet did and it the joins started doing it since 2010, i believe. >> guest: you're deed right. >>> ol' chef ski should out because the selection belies something about the nobel peace prices because it was a brave choice, and there was debate on the committee about neville chamberlain who did not get it. >> guest: if there had been a '31 prize, which there wasn't. the prize is announced the second friday

american phenomena is quite wrong of the but at the same time, i went to a political conference in oslo in 2004, who ever would have thought that oslo would be the victim of a horrific act of political violation. in some ways we have the same back drop and in other ways we're looking at different problems when 77 people were killed last year, and if you're looking at a threat, this threat is evolving and changing. the second point is, and it may seem silly to an audience like this, are we talking about a war? because the answer is if you're looking at d.c., from the bush administration or the obama administration point of view, the answer is definitely yes. these people are out to kill us. we need every single tool at our disposal. we need to harness the power of the state in a different kind of way. and if you're a european, the answer is no. this is really a policing action that takes place within the context of a domestic law enforcement frame, which again from a nato perspective is problematic, because you've got countries working together and pulling apart in different directions.

they just wanted to come the oslo. they had this bottle to give them he's the world's great rockstar come the biggest celebrity, the number one figure. i believe brings you as president, president obama to our remote icy little capital? the committee just wanted to bask in its glory and the committee chairman could boost an inherent to have obama as the winner. so i hear this, this one fellow say this. i think to myself, that's ridiculous nonsense. i hear from a second region at the ninth to may 15th and the 25th and then i discovered that whether it is true not, everyone thinks it. i don't know. i think that obama is a person after they know bijan own heart. if you have a share in worldview. a few of them as a philosophical soulmate, a social democrat. george w. bush was a president out of their nightmares. barack obama was safe president out of their fondest dreams. the nobel committee could design out of scratch of eternal at work obama. so it's a bit of a natural and as a way of saying, in a way to the same dingdon
