they watch stephen king on television. they read stephen king.re i was trying to be this idealistic teacher trying to change the world and change them and all they wanted to read with stephen king. so i just gave in and said we are going to read horror fiction and staff and that was transformative for me and for my students because they began becoming readers and really enjoying reading and loving it and staff. eventually, stephen king read my memoir and we are a very for word about it. >> host: you regret allowing the girls to read horror fiction? >> guest: not at all. we did not -- we actually read stephen king and my class. i did a bunch of research after i read about this literary passion of tears. i found all of these really wonderful, blake stories and stuff for young kids and i managed to create a curriculum around the stories. so what kind of compromise. but they still insisted their favorite author was always stephen king. that was interesting. >> host: >> host: how long were you with these girls in this class? >> guest: at the class for

stephen king got on the phone with the ceo of one of those companies.didn't wait for people to call him, he called in, and he said either you carry salman rushdie's books, or you take my books off the shelf. liz: brilliant. it's brilliant, but what about -- do you bring to congress a spending bill that would bring government money to protect companies because the united kingdom back then spent millions of dollars protecting salman rushdie who was a resident there in the u.k. at the time. should we be doing more from a government standing point to protect companies so they can continue their freedoms here in the u.s.? >> the legislation that i and the author, mike rogers, who chaired the intel committee, the legislation we have introduced would instead look at how we change sort of the cybersecurity protections in the united states and put a higher standard in order to better protect our infrastructure. i think looking at that is the practical way in which we can get the government involved in setting these higher standards so it's harolder in the future

stephen king, for example, called up the head of one of the bookstore chains and said "hey, i understandhas been put on you. well, either you carry salman rushdie's books or you take my books off the shelf." and so this was the way the publishing houses reacted, the way that authors reacted. i think when it come tots freedom of expression, freedom of speech, pushback. >> that was one of my first stories when i got into this business about 27 years ago, the salman rushdie "satan verses." thank you so much for remind megaof how old i am. thank you so much. >>> still ahead, the rage and protests against police spreading now to another american town. it's milwaukee, folks. look at your screen, it's outrage after the district attorney there decides not to charge a cop in the shooting death of a mentally ill african-american man. so this time there's a different method that was employed. no grand jury. we'll take you the scene with the latest. also, got travel plans this holiday? if so, stick around and get up your internets because you'll see pictures like this and, oh, i hope it won't be whe

there have been improvements to 400 stations across the country, including kings cross. >> stephen timmsthe prime minister said that his economic policy would eradicate the deficit in this parliament. all he can claim today is that, after four years, it came down by a third, but in the past few months it has been going up. will he accept that the big fall in real wages since the election is a large part of the explanation for why his economic policy has fallen so far short on its central objective? >> after four years of never mentioning the deficit and opposing every single spending cut we have had to make, there seems to have been a damascus-like conversion. suddenly they are all suddenly interested in the deficit. let me give him a bit of a lesson. yes, we have had to make very difficult decisions, cutting some government departments and some by as much as 20%, but every single decision was opposed by the party opposite. in terms of what is happening on wages, as i have just said, the recent figures out show that people who have been in work for more than a year are seeing pay increas

[audience laughing] -yeah. diaper's very tasteful. of course, bible scholars know that god had a pet chimp named beppo. as seen in exodus 10, "and the lord said unto moses, go in unto pharoah for i have hardened his heart that i may show these my signs before him. and then did beppo knock over the jar of locust
