>> the mark zuckerberg of rwanda. >> some are. some of the chinese ones i write about are more well known. definitely in china. beyond that these guys are pretty -- it's funny since the book has come out it's funny how their lives up ended in their countries. i heard from my favorite entrepreneur yesterday. he call immediate and i had a hard time get back in touch. he had sent his sister away to school and she called him like you're famous. you are all over the internet. i didn't know you were in the book. so it's taken a lot of these guys by surprise. they are personal stories. >> the name of the book? >> brilliant, crazy, cocky how the top 1% of entrepreneurs profit from global chaos. >> sarah lacy. author of two books. press here will be back in a moment. >>> that's our show for this week. thanks to matt sapp and faisal qureshi. we mentioned the companies blippy and mint. the founders have been on the show before and you can see their interviews at press here tv.com. finally, sarah lacy's book available at book stores and on ki

he found the clinton global initiative and went to rwanda. i was sop impressed by what i learned of the global initiative that we went over there and visited. they get things done. it's not like aid. >> rose: the global initiative. >> yeah. they make sure, they say look, they go to a country like rwanda. they say make sure nun of these cocktails, these hiv aids cocktails get back to the european secondary market, the black market. we want to guarantee the donors that it gets to the people who need them, the victims. then they have somebody in the country to make sure that gets done, a quarter master, my son. and i said this thing really works. this isn't the old thing where you get a certain percentage, the minister gets it for the money he sold off to europe or the black market it is the kind of stuff like that that impressed me in the beginning. that is the first thing. >> rose: but how did this happen? so you were impressed by the clinton global initiative and began to ask questions. >> i said this is ding --. >> rose: . >> nobody is cover

from rwanda bolivia have declared a state of emergency with massive flooding affecting both nations in bolivia three people killed and almost seven thousand left homeless after torrential rain battered the country for the past few weeks swollen rivers burst their banks destroying crops bridges and washing away roads there were similar scenes in peru where some three and a half thousand people lost their homes. a controversial islamic cleric abu bakar bashir has denied charges as he returned to court in indonesia he's accused of setting up a cell that was preparing a series of high profile attacks on western hotels and embassies claims he's the victim of a u.s. conspiracy but all charges against him are fabricated the mom has previously escaped terror convictions in two trials that attempt at the link. to the two thousand and two body. for the world's most journeyed rocket ship the discovery is preparing to lift off for the last time its final mission comes after almost three decades of orbital travel the launch marks the beginning of the end of the u.s. space shuttle program with the r

rwanda. in rwanda, where there was actually a complex set military action by the now-military president, who had a dominant role in setting up the new constitution and the new system, because it was in the minority ethnic group, the tutsis, the principal victims of the rwandan genocide, he refused quite rightly to be the first president. but they are so allergic to what they want, if there bosnia, there comes a vote, that it is illegal to run to office on a let -- on ethnicity, and to talk about the the state claims of people based on their ethnic backgrounds. one lady came home and was subject to a rest and not allowed to run for president because she wanted to run on a platform that said an ethnically defined disagreements. when they got on to their common futures, they went from a per capita income of $268, quadruple their income. the larger principle is unacceptable. that is why these two presidents talk about all the positive things they have talked about. but surely there has to be a wi

should we have gone into rwanda? the u.n. was an abysmal failure. and if we didn't have the united nations, the united states would be asked to carry out themselves. we can't be the world's policemen. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from georgia. mr. broun: i'm not an isolationist but the u.n. is a dismal failure and we need to stop throwing our money down a rat hole. it's not dependent on us to keep the world safe. in fact, we with our allies all across this globe can do what's necessary far more efficiently without the wasting of american taxpayers' dollars in trying to foster democracy, foster human rights, foster women's rights all across the world stage. continue to pour money into the u.n. is not going to do anything except for keeping a group of people who are in power there, who against us as we try to stand firm to israel, as we try to stand firm for world peace and democracy. they want to take the u.n. governance and apply it to every american citizen. it's not in our best interest and waste of taxpayer dollars a

cases--we can think of idi amin and a number of dictators who were doing horrible things; and even in rwandaalia, and many places, the west was not so forceful--none of them hark back to the times when the free world has been very determined; they hark back to the times when nothing has happened, which are probably more numerous. - well, it is impossible to take every crisis and every tragedy in the world, and apply force-- to use an old phrase--to be the world's policeman. there are certain areas--you just mentioned a couple--where the reach of western power would be pretty marginal. that was the case in somalia. we did a great job, in humanitarian terms, of saving lives, but we couldn't solve tribal war. it may turn out that we're similarly unable to solve all the problems of bosnia. the dayton agreements are filled with problems, and no one knows these problems better than those of us who spent 21 extraordinarily difficult days behind the high-wire fence at wright-patterson air force base in dayton, ohio. but the fact is that in bosnia we had a national interest, because it was europe, an

brotherhood with arabs and muslims and look back on the history as they have in south africa, yugoslavia, rwanda. move forward and say, now, what can we do? so use the president. [inaudible] >> the airbrushing depended upon the decades, the century, the territory, ultimately massacred the jews and elevated them to believe mobility. i tried to give the nuances of that in the book. there is a huge legacy. between jews and arabs. i also have to give the context. i mean you know what we can say, black people in this country, rose, became great sports stars, but they came but in the concept of the civil rights movement, within the concept of being surprised, being subjected to the cruelest of jim crow laws and things of that nature. yes, plenty of money, sure. did they have to fight three times as hard to get there, yes, they did. so yes, there were good relations. i'm happy to emphasize good relations. even to read the book makes this clear. many times a jewish family was saved by an arab. the extermination of self, the reason it did not go through, 2,000 arabs murdered hundreds of jews. but there w

look back on the history as they have in south africa, as they have in yugoslavia, as they have in rwanda and move forward and say, now, what can we do from here looking at our honest history? so use the precedent -- >> you also alluded to actual peace, arabs protect the jews back throughout history. >> arab -- >> [inaudible] >> arab regimes depending upon the decade, depending upon the century, depending upon the territory have alternately massacred the jews or elevated them to elite nobility. and i try to give the nuances of that in the book. there's a huge legacy of neighborliness between jews and arabs, but i also had to give the context. >> absolutely. >> you know what we can say about black people in this country, that black people in this country they rose, they became great sports stars, they became great jazz guys, but they became great jazz guys and great sports stars within the context of the civil rights movement, within the context of being, of being suppressed and being summit r subjected -- subjected to the cruelest jim crow laws and things of that nature. so, yes, were the

those iraq by weeks ago some of the site of the worst atrocities of war, rwanda, bosnia at a quarter population were hundreds of villages were destroyed in the totally blown up. all the sheep of stock still destroyed. and it was continuing into the summer of 2007. i visited several issues shares just a few weeks ago they were totally destroyed. so violence didn't really decline until the army cease-fire and he had a successful separation of sunnis and shia's in iraq. you no longer have mixed areas to social fabric was destroyed, possibly forever. but a couple million iraqis displaced within the country, hundreds of refugees outside of iraq. in a senseless iraqis are dying in part because it was iraqis were killed and she has had one and she has her beginning to realize they had one. and crucially the third fact or was the rise of prime minister maliki. maliki came to power very weak as an american puppet and his main background were the subjects. as he began to flex his muscles and take his role as prime minister were seriously come he realized al qaeda has been taking care of by the

himself and some who work for him and see it as their life mission from preventing what happened in rwanda from happening again. >> warner: do you think these kinds of measures that have been taken so far will persuade qaddafi that he has to leave? >> i think that rob is right. it has been quick comparatively but for many libyans and people in the region it seems very slow. simple steps like sending humanitarian teams could have been announced two weeks ago now. i think that the steps announced today are good, but i think that we need to see more. i do think that something like a no-fly zone, for example, should be put in place because you have two goals right now. one is to prevent a humanitarian crisis. the other is try to persuade qaddafi to step down. some of these measures that were described today by the e.u. and by secretary clinton will i think get at that question of trying to convince some of the senior libyan officials around qaddafi that they have no future with this particular leader. but as far as the humanitarian crisis goes, inadvertently or paradoxically some of these meas

now let's fast ward to the year 2007, in an ironic twist, rwanda's president expressed his interest in reducing the number of births of children in that country by 50%. in recent weeks, confusing reports have surfaced as to whether the rwanda government had launched a campaign setting a target for hundreds of thousands of male sterilizations. while the report, which implied possible complicit of u.s. funded organizations were subsequently dismissed, the concerns they raised are very real. let's note china's one-child policy, or peru. mr. chairman, the united states should be a champion for human dignity, and yet sadly we have our own sordid past with sterilization campaigns. in 1924, the state of virginia passed what was called the racial integrity act which remained intact well into my own lifetime until it was overturned by the supreme court. i think the title the racial integrity act speaks for itself. legislation so outrageous that governor warner, now senator warner issued a statement of apology in 2002 saying we must remember the commonwealth's past mistakes in order to prevent t

not singling out japanese, but things that are going on in africa today are just as bad or worse in rwanda or places like that. anyway, yes. so, ma'am? >> [inaudible] >> is it not on? >> how would i know? >> there it is. [laughter] >> what was it like to be a comanche woman? >> be a comanche woman? is. yeah. this is one of the things i tried to do in talking about cynthia ann. i mean, they did all the work. they had very -- they didn't have much status, but they did all the work. and it was astonishing what they did do. they also fought. but, you know, the process of tanning buffalo hides is brutal work. and they just, they did this all day long. they were the ones who -- these were nomadic tribes that moved all the time. they were entirely in charge of the logistics of the move. the men, it was real clear; you hunt, you fight, there was nothing else. women did absolutely everything. so it was a kind of a brutal, a brutal life, i guess, for a woman without the freedom that the men had. so it was, you know, and i think cynthia ann lived that life, of course, when she came back, she voted wi

just to frame this this happens to be from rwanda. today one out of every 7 billion people will wake up and not know how to fill this cup. and 1 billion people are over nourished. the first time in history last year a billion nearly starving people and a billion over nerve risch nourished people leading to the types of disease and challenges we are talking about today. the next speaker, melinda gates -- margaret chan says she gets nervous talking about health because she knows so much. my staff, this, too because melinda cooke is also found in the villages of the world talking with the beneficiaries, recipients and partners to their programs, and my staff tells me, melinda, they've never seen anyone ask more probing questions, get to the solution and untie the knot of the problems better than you. but i would like to ask you is from all of your travel, why are we losing so many children? and why this is no longer rocket science and i will ask this, we know what to do, why can't we deploy these more, and what do you think we can easily

egypt can no longer intimidate a state like rwanda for giving them the nile water. this is a different -- we're talking about. -- this is a different egypt we are talking about. >> [unintelligible] i am asking about the likely israeli policy reaction. the government and spokesman have been worse-casing it. will they take advice from time friedman? -- tom friedman? >> the israelis were quite quiet on the public realm. privately, they were expressing great concern about egypt. the president releases for statement on the subject yesterday. i think the likely israeli view is not to be risk-taking on other fronts when the southern front is, itself, just become a question mark for the first time. i think it is more likely than not that the israelis wait to assess what this impact has on the overall picture for israeli national security. i should say that from the israeli perspective, the importance of an egypt that continues to meet international obligations is eminently usable and disrupting the israelis project abroad. the israelis were quite smart in not being public a
