let's talk, we have cnbc contributor robert reich, he is the author of after shock and douglas eken, a former congressional budget office director. do you hear a growth message that would lift this economy from less than 2% to something like 3% or better? >> no, larry, frankly i did not, the speech did not have anything that broke new ground, the policies that have been in place for years now are not doing the job. and when he laid out the five visions for things that would help the middle class going forward, the things he is going to talk about on this economic speech tour, those five things are big government in every respect and so, this was more of the same, and i do not think it will change the dialog a bit. >> you know, robert reich, let me read this, it's an important part of the speech. infrastructure, that's an old hold-over, and more wind and solar spending. manufacturing innovation institutes. i did -- i still don't know what the heck that is. manufacturing, student loans, mortgage refinancing. he did have something in there about requirement accounts but i did not get it

at how you see ungracious again i don't think that it was german isn't tension to create the fourth reich and in barry i think that it's falling into that situation as a result of lack of comprehension of what it takes to keep a monetary union together. they need to have a fiscal union if they're going to keep this your guidance it together they understand that but at the same time the understand that if they do respect the rules of one person one vote then they want to be able to control the federal treasury that should be running it so they are caught like a. rabbit facing you know in the middle of the night and oncoming truck they're stuck in between you know jumping left or jumping right jumping to was afraid of that action or staying the course that got indoors which is going to lead to a bit of a disintegration of the year now let's talk about italy for a second they've just been downgraded. what's going on there are they on the road to a ballot what do you hear what's happening in adelaide yanis italy is facing a gigantic credit crunch two thousand and eight like the north part of

especially they did get along on defeating the third reich. but initially the british favored north africa. the one guy had a vote, and that was franklin roosevelt. and this sets the stage for disagreeing over large issues like that one. and practical issues. it is bad feelings at times to blood allies. >> host: you can try social media if you can't get through on a phone line. you can make a comment at facebook.com//booktv. >> caller: why was the decision made to go to italy as opposed going directly into france. another question is how well did the fbi administration handle slapping a soldier and so on if he was supposedly one of our top commanders. it could've been finish early it was actually the book on c-span. after world war i, their superiors train them specifically for this eisenhower were drafted and they were already in the service. they were the ones who are going to we beat invasions. once you have committed yourself to 1944, there is a project is basically a large aircraft carrier and you need basis for the aircraft campaign that

they were very much a part of the death machine of the third reich.and that is why people like that end up in prison. >> host: you're watching booktv on c-span2. this is mr. rick atkinson. we have a caller from california. >> caller: hello, thank you for your book. there seems to be extraordinarily sustained in burgeoning interest in world war ii. especially regarding the civil war, let alone world war i. i wonder what factors you tribute to vets. >> guest: thank you for that question there was an interest in the civil war and there are cycles. in the 1890s we saw a resurgent interest with ken burns and there is no shortage of history coming out about the civil war and i think we visited, in the case of world war ii, more or less after-the-fact. i believe that what we are seeing now is of the 16.1 million in uniform from about 1.3 american veterans are still alive. they are dying at the rate of so many per day, next year the number would be set to go million. and then they said the generation is slipping away. they are passing over. and we are finding

and that's -- third reich. and that's why thos that is why people like this deep end up in prison. >> host: your watching the tv on c-span2. is power in the program, rich edson -- rick atkinson is our get. >> >> caller: thank you for your book. the purpose of my question is there seems to be this extraordinarily sustained, in the interests of world war ii growing up in the 30s i didn't see regarding the civil war level of world war i and i wonder about your perspective as a journalist and historian what factors you attribute to the sustained interest. >> thanks for that question. it comes and cycles. there was an interest in the civil war, resurgence interests in the 89s. certainly we saw resurgent interest with the ken burns series and there is no shortage of history is coming out about lincoln and the civil war and so on so waves of that come along, in the case of world war ii, 70 years more less after the fact, i believe what we are seeing now, of the 16.1 million who are in uniform, 1.3 american veterans ar

as though i am in not the germany 40 years after the end of the holocaust and it is still the third reich not these are still in power. the official history says nothing officially about the killings. officershe aging ss have been allowed to boast about what they have done, encouraged to do so, so they have become feared proxies of the state and also perhaps you can justify to themselves what they have done. i realized it that point, this was a reality so grave, so important that i would give it whatever it took of my life. i suppose, at that point i knew i would have to film every perpetrator i could find across the region, working my way up the chain of command to the city of medan and beyond army generals in jakarta to retired state department and cia officers leaving outside d.c.. i worked my way across the region and every perpetrator i open.s boastful, within minutes of speaking to me, they would tell me these awful stories and typically they would invite me to the places where they killed. i always said, yes, take me, because i wanted to know what happened. we are talking about the

in all history that explores the experiences of blacks, germans, done the third reich, and without fur the adieu, give you our moderator, tina campt. >> thank you. [applause] >> good afternoon, everyone. it is my pleasure to welcome you to our third panel of the day. the title is "50 years later." the panel is framed around what kind of progress blacks have made since the civil rights movement and the challenges that face african-americans in the 21st century. the organizers formulated two major questions for us to talk about. the first is, what historical and contemporary factors continue to make racial equality a contested and elusive concept in the 21st century? and second, what kinds of knowledge can we mobilize to face the specific challenges of racial inequity in our contemporary moment. i'm thrilled to be in conversation with two and possibly three speakers, dynamic speakers and thinkersed today, and i'd like to introduce you to them before opening our conversation. joining us is farah griffin, the william b. rands professor of english comparative literature and african-american

. >> robert reich gets tonight's last word. thank you very much, robert. >> thanks, lawrence. >> up next, "hardball" with chris matthews. >>> weiner strikes again. let's play "hardball." >>> good evening. i'm chris matthews down in washington. let me start tonight with the latest on the new york mayoral candidate anthony weiner. the latest is that there is a latest. a bit more than an hour ago, weiner admitted his sexting, e-mailing pictures of himself to often to unsuspecting women didn't stop with his forced resignation from congress. let's get straight what we're talking about here. this guy who wants to represent the greatest city in the country was sending frontal nude pictures of himself apparently to strangers whom he is as of tonight asking their forgiveness for any, quote, inconvenience, closed quote, those pictures have caused them. what can you say? this man breathes chutzpah. it hasn't stopped, only the form of his exhibition has changed, from sexting to running out there live for public office. tonight the incredib

>> historically, in the american economy, there was a reich yo of 20, 40, 80, 100, 150 times. it's now 250 and 300. it's the trend lines as much as it is the objective numbers. they're no good. >> -- cut ceo pay, maria, if you cut ceo pay, you cut executive pay, you're going to be reducing even further the pay that is available for the rank and file, for middle managers, that sort of thing. >> maybe. but, john, what about the performance? i mean, you know, we can't really use this as a brushstroke idea of everybody, you know, all ceos should be paid more than everybody else, right? i mean, isn't it about performance? what about pay for performance? if the company is not doing well, why does the ceo get paid so much? that outrages people. >> in the vast, vast majority of cases, when the company is not doing well, the ceo does not do that well. >> that's not the case. >> today, a large percentage, typically more than 60%, and sometimes even more than that, of a ceo's compensation, is tied to stock, tied to various performance factors. that ratio is going up, okay. >> that's not

think when you put all these things together and remember that the soviets are hammering the third reich from the east, they do most of the fighting, most of the bleeding, most of the killing, and they do most of the dying. 26 million soviets died in the war, so it's a very goods ally to have in the soviet union. you put all those things together, and you have a winning coalition and a winning formula for global warfare. >> host: you write "in the guns of last light," the typical soldier was five foot eight weighing 144 pounds, and physical standards were lowered to accept defects that once kept many young men out of uniform. a man with 20/400 vision was conscripted if sight was corrected to 20/40 in one eye. towards the end, armed forces made 2.3 million pairs of eyeglasses for the troops, but they just counted them had come true. were we short on men? >> guest: terribly short, but not only that, initially, to be drafted, you had to have 12 of the natural 3 # 2 teeth, and by 1944, it's zero because they drafted a third of all dentists in the country to make dentures to pull teeth, fill

the cartoon that they put up, everything they want you to think in this case starts from the t, just reich their-- just like their little animation starts from the t. don't do that. that's not fair. that's not fair. it would be like reading the end of a book, the last chapter only, and you're asking yourself, why are we here? how did we get here? who are these people. you can't do that in real life and you shouldn't do it here. let me suggest to you, you started a the beginning. let's start at the 7-eleven where that child had every right to be where he was. that child had every right to do what he was doing, walking home. that child had every right to be afraid of a strange man following him. first in his car. and then on foot. and did that child not have the right to defend himself from that strange man? did trayvon martin not also have 245 right? i don't have all the fireworks on the animation but come back with me. come back with me to that scene where it happened that night. come back with me and bring with you your god-given common sense. the common sense that tells you it's the pers

the third reich would not have been defeated. it was the soviet union that essentially defeated the third reich certainly from the east. but compellingly, the western invasion could not possibly have succeeded without the movements on to germany from the east. but this was, at best, a morally charged -- this was stalin's soviet union after the great terror, after the purges, after the gulag having been created. and, of course, that alliance or what would become of that alliance after the war was a central great question not just for roosevelt or truman, but also for churchill who had to come to terms with the reality that when the war ended, soviet troops were sitting well into central europe and were not about to leave. so the, this is not a moment to reflect at any length about the origins of the cold war, but what is clear is that the division between and west existed on the day the second world war ended. the, a theme of my book, one of the themes is one philosophers sometimes call dirty hands or we might just call moral ambi

soseph ramirez greets -- tweet is bank regulating controlled and is that significant question reich guest is significant. -- question -- and significant? guest: it is significant. the fdic supports itself. the fed can fund it budget. occ which regulates major banks, charges maintenance fees to fund itself. the regulators control them them selves. at the end of the day, if you want strong, credible regulators, they need to have the capacity to fund themselves because what you find with the -- sec and fdic is a lot of uncertainty. it makes it very difficult going through a yearly cycle which is a painful process for everyone, and lobbyists play games. they try to put an amendment on the appropriations bill saying the sec can not fund this or that rule or they distract the agency had. it really hurts the quality of regulation. i know there are people that are mistakested with the made in the past. everybody has made mistakes. i think it would be better regulators -- if we wanted them to be better regulators, give them autonomy and have some certainty they will have money for their operations

the third reich was also elected. .ut they are fascist the previous caller asked my what was thech wasehind the it ministration backing up the muslim brotherhood? are they going to back up, or wrongeir money on the [indiscernible] thank you. you raised a lot of very important points. when i and others call it a imply" i don't mean to that it wasn't a military intervention that was responsive mood inader reality or the country that was very anti- brotherhood and unwilling to tolerate the brotherhood for another day. the june 30t after protest, the military likely would not have intervened and not intervened then. but when we call it a coup, we are simply describing the technical mechanism through which morsi was removed from power. this is not meant to denigrate the millions of egyptians that we saw, that i saw come out into the streets on june 30. and afterwards, you are correct that this is a population in which an important segment is simply fed up with the brotherhood and that is why the military intervened. secondly, you are correct that the fact that they brotherhood was elected d

. >> stephanie: robert reich has a good piece in salon about the g.o.p. rules scotus.writes in order to fully understand what the five appointees have been up in decisions that affect our democracy as they did on voting rights, you need to understand what the democracy has been up to. it is based on unlikely coalition of small business owners, all of whom have called the show. >> i struggle -- i came across your show randomly. >> stephanie: struggling whites. its durability depends on the lat toire categories believing the economic stresses they've experienced have a lot to do with the government taking their money away and taking to the poor who are black and latino. the real reason they haven't -- struggling whites haven't done better is that the same -- most america hasn't done better although the output of americans has continued to rise almost all of the gaines have gone to the very top. but you know, this is interesting, if you look at a lot of the decisions. there are other things like voting rights that are scary. how pro business the court is. five republicans

when you put all of those things together and you remember that the soviets are hammering the third reich from the east, they do most of their fighting, they do most of the bleeding, they do most of the killing, and they do most of the dying. 26 million soviets died in the war. it is very good ally to have in the soviet union. you put all of those things together and what you have is a winning coalition and a winning formula for global warfare. >> host: you write in your book, "the guns at last light: the war in western europe, 1944-1945", the statue weight of 144 pounds. the physical standards have been lowered that once kept many young men out of uniform. a man with 20 to 400 vision could be conscripted to fight. the armed forces would make 2.3 billion pairs of eyeglasses for the troops. where we shored on men? >> guest: terribly short. initially to be drafted you had to have at least 12 of your natural 32 teeth. by 1944 was zero. the army had dropped her the army had drafted dentists. they were drafting 12,000 patients a month by 1944. how could they do that? penicillin. they were maki
