and neither is richard cohen. because yesterday he responded by saying what i was doing was expressing not my own views but those of extreme right wing republican tea party people. see, he is saying that republicans are racist, not him. and remember, in the column he said that republicans specifically are not racists. so everybody should be happy. and i'm sure he's well aware that polls say 87% of american as prove of interracial marriage. but that's with a margin of error of plus or minus-- plus i have evidence that richard cohen is not a racist, after seeing 12 years of-- on november 4th he wrote in his column i sometimes think i have spent years unlearning what i learned earlier in my life. slavery was not a benign institution in which mostly benevolent whites owned innocent and grateful blacks. okay, richard cohen has known the slavery was bad for at least seven days. (laughter) and for the record, tuesday's column wasn't just about race, some of it was about homophobia because he added the parenthetical shoul

so many people are going to use this advice, richard, i guarantee. richard, do you have siblings? >> three sisters. >> wow. >> need i say more? >> wow. i love it. >> including a twin who's seven minutes older than me, and you think i've got a complex. >> well, do you have any advice for richard, wendy, regarding the social class sib ling rivalry? >> i will say this as siblings leave the family they go up and down the various social classes and there's lots of rivalry over a kind of mustard or lettuce or beers or cabernet, et cetera. stay out of that mess and be who you are. in a sobering way, i want to tell you, if you don't work out your stuff now with your parents or if there is old real injuries, you're going to be working it out at a deathbed or at a tombstone, so go in there and be brave and talk about things that matter, richard, you can do it. >> wendy walsh, sir richard quest, very good advice. thank you to you both. happy holidays. >> same to you. >>> i think we've well established our families as much as we love them can cause some real headaches sometimes this time of y

richard, i'd like to start with you first. what does a u.s. presence of 7,000 to 8,000 soldiers in afghanistan mean effectively? what is the end goal there? >> reporter: the end goal is to prevent this country from sliding into absolute anarchy and chaos and civil war, whether a few thousand troops would be enough to do that is an open question. this draft agreement, which we obtained, calls for obligations. it calls for the united states to remain committed to propping up the afghan security forces, to paying for the afghan security forces whenever the afghan government falls short. currently the afghan government always falls short. it is billions of dollars short every single month. and it also sets up a parameter for u.s. troops to continue to operate in this country, allowing them exclusive use to afghan bases, allowing them to have their uniforms, have their weapons, have their mail, have radio frequencies and operate like a military under a new agreement. so it calls for a series of obligations and it goes through 2024 and beyond. the o

richard: exactly. on the left side, the old discolored varnish, which, with age, turns yellow and ultimately a brown, is still on the painting. on the right-hand side, the varnish has been removed. about how long does it take to remove the varnish? richard: in some cases, one may be able to take the varnish off in just several days. but in many instances, it actually takes many weeks of work in order to do the process. how do you remove the varnish and not the paint underneath? we have to make many tests in advance in order to find out what solvents we can safely use, because every painting's different. we also have to make tests of the paint itself to ensure that what we're using won't affect the paint as well. one of the earliest scientific tools that was applied to the conservation treatment of paintings was x-radiography. the reason x-radiographs work is because artists frequently used white lead mixed in with their paint. the lighter the color, the more white lead that you added. lead is a very de

once again, flip of what richard russell said. we chief beaten kennedy on civil rights but we can't beat johnson. i do think eventually -- i'm not discounting social forces -- that the civil rights movement would have triumphed. simply as everett dirkson, an idea whose time has come, but would have happened less quickly and less successfully. on the domestic side, i believe there would have been no great society program, because that's not how john kennedy thought. that was johnson. who dreamt of being the second fdr and who had grandiose notions what use could do with legislation, and kennedy was more detached in that sense, too. we're going to have medicare and have demonstration programs, but i think it would have been acutely aware, for instance 0, the political dangers of a great society program with big city mayors at odds with community based organizations, fighting for money. kennedys were from boston. they understood the black-white conflict in terms of white working class and schools. johnson saw it as the north and the

richard why wasn't it a big problem if it was done under the bush administration as well whether the reason why it's a big problem larry is everything to the fact that we continue to see this i guess this surveillance culture this intelligence culture go a little bit too far and that is why people are making the outcry they're making now they didn't make previously but amy is right we've seen this in years past and years previous each countries countries spying on each other but in the day what it boils down to is because of the n.s.a. leaks because of ed snowden and the attention on it now it's sort of become you know we've made a it's become a mountain out of and. if you believe it i mean when obama said he didn't know about it. i hope he did actually we would like to think that the president of the united states the commander in chief is aware of spying on his allied leaders that he sits face to face with and meets with every day we have reports that he had direct quotes that were presented to him in briefing papers i hope you understood where those quotes were coming from. how do

joining us now live from kabul is nbc news chief foreign correspondent richard engel.r being here tonight. >> it's a pleasure to be with you as all. kabul is missing you. you'll have plenty of time to come back, it seems. >> i know that spot, and i have a feeling we're going to be seeing you long there longer than we expected to be. >> what struck you about this draft agreement when you first got a hold of it. as you mentioned, there eels always been this vague notion. there's never been in enduring presence. but really it was all big. it was never clear how many troops were going to stay, it was never clear how long they were going to stay, and some of these questions remain unanswered. but what is clear, when you see a draft of this document, is that u.s. officials and afghan officials behind closed doors have been very hard at work hammering out a detailed agreement that would allow u.s. troops to stay here for decades or at least a decade or not. the document talks about going up through 2024, and beyond. it outlines a variety of commitments like the afghan securit

richmond richard go ahead jump in go ahead rick i think. thank you i think the argument is not so much that they're rand didn't have that right it's that iran has taken activities which now call that right into question because you're not supposed to engage in nuclear activities that can lead to a weapon if you're not if you didn't already have a nuclear weapon the time to sign it is because it was signed it's not true and there's argument there rain in activity in the past some indication that they were testing designs for a nuclear warhead for example and that would call into question whether they not put that right of enrichment under suspension at least until more information about their past activities comes to light and safeguards against future activities like that pippi is what do you see it going on in iran i mean how much how much stonewalling can the revolutionary guards for example you know put put a stop on this because we're focusing all on washington right now. yeah for them oh this is this is the most important part the inte

effect and fasten your seatbelts ok richard this is you know nixon in china analogies being brought up in the media and i tend to agree with pepe this could be the only positive thing we've seen in the obama administration do foreign policy wise in a while but the odds are against him domestically at least at this point what are your thoughts i'm not sure the odds are against and domestically their congress has gone along with not connecting any new sanctions at least for a while they are now going through the motions of preparing a sanctions resolution but that would be use only if the six months do not result in a longer and it was just a this is just basically a negotiating tactics as a means of warning iran that if he didn't give talks do not succeed then the more sanctions might follow but i think that the president will get a grace period i mean i'm not sure of this in the store agreement or the nixon and china analogy holds but we just don't know and certainly it's a modest risk for potentially big gain so i think it's i think people are going to give the president the benefit o

richard is with us tonight from kabul. richard, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, brian, the u.s. has long talked brian. the u.s. has long talked about leaving a kind of residual force here in afghanistan. but when you see an actual proposal, you realize how extensive that commitment could be. the u.s. has been at war in afghanistan since 2001. 9/11 was plotted from here. osama bin laden hid out here. so the u.s. bombed. and with just a few hundred american troops, pushed out the taliban and al qaeda. then more troops came. 100,000 americans at the peak. more than 2,000 of them died. 48,000 are still here. the u.s. combat mission in afghanistan ends in 2014. but then what? today nbc news obtained this draft of a u.s./afghan security agreement that is still unsigned. but it describes a sweeping, long-term relationship with the united states paying for afghan security forces and maintaining outposts in this country, perhaps until 2024. and maybe beyond that. u.s. troops training, equipping and advising afghan forces a
