the four were in fact is by paul johnson historian. critical lessons from liberties greatest champions of the last 2,000 years. you're watching book tv on c-span2. >>> from freedom fest, jennie martin sat down with book tv to talk about her book tea party patriots. this is about 15 minutes. >> tea party patriots is the name of the book the second american revolution as the subtitle. the author is the co-founder of tea party patriots, jenny beth martin. where does that he party movement stand today? >> we have so much going on and where we stand is that we still stand for the core values that we stood for when we started out in this modern teen party movement four years ago. responsibility, constitutionally limited government and free market. we knew it would take 40 years to achieve our goal and we are four years into mechanical is to restore the constitutionally limited responsible government. >> are you stronger, more organized, more established? >> we are all free. a stronger, more organized and more established. we have over 3,000

they are facing backlash with georgia tech coach paul johnson taking issue with his players involvement because they did not act with the full endorsement of the team saying: >> sports caster dan posted on twitter that: >> joining us now from portland organ is dave a sports editor. dave, were you surprised that 28 players chose to put up a stand and do this in a public way? >> am i surprised, no, because the level of anger and frustration of athletes in football and basketball has never been higher. i'm surprised at the amount of publicity had received. those three letters that you said - apu - got more social media mentions than scc, south eastern conference, more than the pack 12, big 10, big 12. it captured the imagination of where a lot of people are at, which is thinking the ncaa is a moral sewer, and players are the only people who have the power to affect change. >> well, the movement seems to be growing among the players. so is the criticism. is that by the coaches fair much. >> no. >> should the guys have gone out on a limb and separated from the other players on the teams? >>

paul johnson, the guy who wrote -- who i told you about, is right to object that the document was not just a contract between a servant and a master or a people and a king but between a group of like-minded individuals with god as a witness and symbolic cosignatory. and why is this important? it's important because william bradford and the other puritans understood that while forming a civil government was fully within their right, there were limitations -- limitations -- to what they could and could not do. they're talking about government here. and those eliminatio limitatione established by god and unumerated in the -- enumerated in the able to. i quoal quote the apostle paul n romans. there is no time for a that. it is within the foundation of the biblical authority that the puritans crafted the mayflower compact and their system of government at policewomen ogee colony. paul johnson rightly observes that this was critical to laying the foundation for a successful united states of america. and ultimately it is a morality derived from god that had its strongest enduring influence o

this was head coach paul johnson's response. >> i can assure you that now that i'm aware of it, we'llwo players from two different schools who said they wanted to talk to cnn about the pledge later pulled out of the interviews. we caught up with one player who participated, even though a team handler tried to discourage us from talking about it. >> i'm going to get in some trouble for this. i know guys out there at joerma tech, they don't have the academics to fall back on and things like that, so you know, just looking out for everybody. >> houma later told cnn as far as he knows, no players have been disciplined for participating. >> so on the field, in the studio, what is this about? is this about being paid or something else? >> it's partly about that. but every person i talked to who is an advocate for ncaa reform has told me their number one concern is concussions and number two, education. the two play into each other because if a player is injured on the field and thinks they might lose their scholarship, they're less likely to report. it's something pennsylvania congressman c

johnson. and we're also honored to be joined by former deputy secretary of defense paul wolfowitz, now a scholar at the american enterprise institute. senator johnson, after sitting through a very lengthy hearing today and listening to mr. kerry and mr. hagel, what do you take away? will you, do you expect to support this syrian resolution? >> larry, i still have an awful lot of unanswered questions. and i think the classified briefing is going to be key for me so i can really start getting into exactly what is the strategy, how far is this administration willing to go. what are the stated objectives? have they really thought about the repercussions? what would be the planning in case this thing doesn't go as smoothly or if they can calibrate it as closely as they think they can. i still have an awful lot of unanswered questions. >> it seems like, senator, the administration has really changed its tone now. instead of saying no regime change, we're not going to cripple the military, what i'm hearing from contacts in washington is the administration is open to basically wiping out the syrian air

scott walker, ron johnson, paul ryan.er word that run for office and gorn like they campaign. that's what you have to do. >> in looking at what's gone on with the republican party and the senate there seems to be a deep divide between some republican senators and some other republican senators. it looks like a hard one to mend. >> well, look, these guys like harry reid and the senators. >> he's a democrat. i'm talking about republican senators. >> i understand. they will understand the wrath of the tea party and republican party in 2014 when obamacare is tattooed on their forehead and they have to explain in red states what they did. as far as the republican party is concerned, look, some of the this stuff is way overblown. i was in a lunch just yesterday with all of the u.s. senators on the republican side of the aisle. the ted was there and mike lee was there and people were talking about procedure. this is not like -- you know, there is no -- people aren't throwing spit balls. they are having normal, decent conversatio

chris murphy, jim reesh, bob johnson, rand paul we knew that tom you uudoll how could you process it. >> this was the easiest vote senate relations committee between menendez and corker you had bipartisan effort president's resolution. you touched on tellerrier. the first and most important thing for the president to do is to convince the president and american people that there is a strategic american interest in taking action against saddam hussein. not simply a humanitarian or an international component but there is a strategic u.s. interest. and, you are right. the outcome in syria is either assad wins in which case hezbollah and iran and russia win or assad loses in which case iran, hezbollah, and russialess. if assad, iran, hezbollah, and russia win, then that changes the balance of power in the middle east against us. and if they lose, it advances it in our direction. >> bill: the argument for people and as you know you see the polls. many republicans and conservatives say okay, well, al qaeda operatives will take over the government. look what happened in egypt. worse people t

paul mccart cart cartney. >> don't touch that remote, jimmy kimmel is bringing the laughs. >>> tonight, keshawn johnson is the first couple to leave -- and his partner are the first couple to leave dancing with the stars. 11 couples now remain. they'redoing it just one show a week now. >> is that right, one show a week. >> yeah, so he can go back to analyzing football. >> ready for this? ready for a crisp night. 47already in belair, 48 northeast. it's going be a cool night. next couple of days, sunny days, cool nights, and don't forget the sun glasses, a little long sleeved fleece in the morning and maybe a cup of hot cider. weekend looks good too, mid-70s and sunshine. >>> all right, we'll find out the latest on manny tomorrow. >> it's going to be a good day tomorrow. the weather is going to be great. >> have a good night. >> wow. i can't believe all of these people are here for me. [ cheers and applause ] >> i'm sorry. >>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight, paul mccartney and from "grey's anatomy," patrick dempsey. with cleto and the cletones. and now, while we're at it, here's jimmy

senator ron johnson asked a series of question that is actually would have been on my list, almost word for word. and i'm wondering if you heard satisfactory answers, one of which rand paul has been trying to make. that is when senator johnson said, our stated goal is to move assad. why wouldn't we use this opportunity of military action toward that goal. did you hear a satisfactory answer to that? >> here is the answer i heard across several conversations, several briefings on that point. and i think this is complicated. we have two goals here, the short-term goal, what we are debating today and what the authorization seeks, the brief strike that continues to deter assad, and the use of chemical weapons on his own people. our own objective is to make sure assad leaves syria and the assad regime ends. but we shouldn't try to achieve that through military goals. to do that would require the kind of massive intervention that was required in the iraq war to remove saddam from power. instead, we heard today, and from senator johnson's questions and at other points in the hearing, and from general dempsey, to pursue that goal from diplomatic means. this is one of the issues t

paul and mary "blowing in the wind" there. the media ignores the racists in the democratic party. two georgia senators. it was lyndon johnsonho had to twist arms from the democrats. the media ignored that. they allowed the democrats of today to paint republicans as racists when it is the other way around. >> i'll let ellen speak next before she hits you. >> there were no republicans up there. the washington small media, the hill news and politico. quoted taylor branch and mr. cain. those guys did not ignore the other side. the mainstream media did. >> i think it was kind of striking and several commentators pointed it out. there were no black republicans out to speak. how could you have such a one sided event in a unifying moment for the country? it was a real miss for the organizers. >> it leads to the charge that, you know, if you are a black democrat, you are part of the party. if you are a black conservative, you're not. >> what we saw this year was the use of the horrible term "uncle tom." we hear it more. we hear more about you speak on black-on-black crime and if you speak out, you are a traitor. i did a story on thi

and some other no votes, senator johnson of wisconsin, senator rubio from florida, senator paul, a coupletential presidential contenders there. >> and senator udall, yes. senator udall as well. jon: there are some sort of strange political bedfellows being made on this vote when you look at the yes votes. it's not very often that you see senators mccain and flake of arizona voting in conjunction with senate menendez of new jersey and senator boxer of california, and yet all four of them are among the yes votes on this. >> and you're going to have some of that in the house, because you have certain democrats even though they're not back yet in the house, you have democrats that are in opposition. i do believe that president obama will whip his party and that the vote in the house will be via party lines, but also you see speaker boehner that has adhered to the fact that if the majority of the majority party does not support the bill, will you bring it to the house floor to vote? i think he should go around the hastert rule and bring it to the house floor for a vote, because members of cong

i heard the same thing in florida, rubio, or rand paul or mike lee, or wisconsin with ron johnson. you've heard the names. [applause] we haven't won the battle but one thing i saw is when they say it's impossible it's a good time to go to work because i think it really is possible to change things. and the same people told me that there's no way you couldr get rid of this favor factory of earmarks in washington. it could never happen. republicans, democrats, love to take home the bacon. that's why you stay for 30 years because senior members get to take home the most bacon. we couldn't change it. i had a resolution in my conference in 2008 to ban earmarks and i got five votes and a lot of dirty looks and lectures and things. but we took the case to the american people. we talked about bridges to nowhere. we talked about the waste and the fraud and the abuse. to the point where 75% of americans thought we should get rid of these things even though sometimes it benefited their state or congressional districts. and what happened? the politics followed. you had people in 2010 running o
