a little too close recover to that of the neighbor across broadway he had in his first studio, p.t. barnum if brady was a huckster, and he was no artist. and so they are grew up in the 20th century a counter narrative about him that he really was not a photographer at all. this is pretty silly i think that its effects linger to this day, the vast collections of these characters are reluctant to attribute photographs that are clearly is 200 sometimes won't even attribute into his studio. what i would like to do just briefly is hint at the case i make in the book that brady was not only a photographer at a conscious artist, a person who did not just take pictures or oversee the taking of them, but he often had a real idea behind what he was doing. in the first decade of photography, one of the things that intrigue people about it was a like a completely mechanical art form. they were referred to as something things because the images appeared not by the hand of an artist but by the work of light passing through the mechanism of the camera. in a world increasingly under the sway of science, p

>> this is the p.t. barnum doctrine of foreign policy and application.cker born every minute. this week the united states is in the starring role. the europeans already signaled they're desperate for a deal iran. they can't wait to give up their economic sanctions. the president's in pet bad shape diplomatically. he would like to find a way to cut a deal. you can always cut a deal if you surrender your basic position. iran can not be trusted with uranium enrichment of any sort, period, close quote. if we acknowledge -- bill: what was the greeting to jews earlier for rosh hashanah? what is that about. what about bringing only jewish member of parliament in tehran to new york? >> only jewish, anti-israel member to new york. bill: good point. >> obviously it is propraganda. iranians see they have a moment, opportunity. they saw the debacle on syria's chemical weapons. you have a new president in iran who by the way is not in charge of the country. the supreme leader, i ayatollah khomeni is in charge of the country and in charge of the nuclear weapons progra
