making them a ted speaker. you have power. >> anderson: well, i would phrase it more as responsibility, but a joyful one. i do love the fact that someone can give a talk, and a few months later, can be known by millions of people around the world. ( laughter ) >> reporter: but for maysoon zayid, the fame she received was not the fame she was looking for. >> maysoon zayid: i got 99 problems, and palsy is just one. >> rose: she's a comedian, and when she appeared on the ted stage a year and a half ago, she had a punch line... >> zayid: i'm palestinian, muslim, i'm female, i'm disabled, and i live in new jersey. ( laughter ) >> rose: ...and she had a serious point. >> zayid: people with disabilities are the largest minority in the world, and we are the most underrepresented in entertainment. ( cheers and applause ) >> rose: she also had an agenda. >> zayid: i actually thought that once the talk was done, my career would skyrocket. i want to be on tv, and i thought that the ted talk would open the door for more rea

and so he bought ted. and turned it too a nonprofit organization. >> in 2006 as something of an experiment, he put a handful of conference talks on-line. the reaction was almost immediate. >> we started to get e-mails that said things like i'm sitting at my computer screen crying. >> rose: an emotional -- >> a passionate conection. like these talks had got inside people's heads and changed them. >> so this is a real human brain. >> rose: one of the earliest ted talks posted was literally about what was going inside the head of neurobiologist jill bolt taylor. >> and i realized oh my gosh, i'm having a stroke i'm hafing a stroke. the next thing my brain says to me is wow this is so cool. (laughter) >> this is so cool. how many brains-- have had the opportunity to study their own brain from the inside out. >> taylor's talk went viral. >> we need mathmaticians. >> and soon internet users couldn't get enough of ted talks. >> every child-- . >> rose: a million views turned into a billion. >> what? >> rose: and

they know who ted kennedy was. ideology or his position, but because they knew that ted is somebody who has raised the partisan divide over and over again with genuine effort and affection and to narrow bipartisanship is so very where -- rare. they knew him as somebody who kept his word. they knew him as somebody who was willing to take and endure the anger of his own supporters to get something done. they knew him as somebody who was not afraid. fear so permeates our politics instead of hope. people fight to get in the senate and then they are afraid. we fight to get these positions and then we don't want to do anything with them, and ted understood the point of running for office was to get something done. not the posture. not to sit there worrying about the next elections or the polls. to take risks. he understood that differences of party or philosophy could not become barriers to cooperation or respect. he could howl on the senate floor like a force of nature. in frustration as he tried to figure out what char

for ted kennedy.t of people. the common ground lead ted and/or and to forge a compromise that a compromise that covered millions of kids with healthcare. it was common ground rooted in the plight of loved ones that lead ted and check breasted to cover kids with disabilities lead ted and pete to fight for equal rights for americans with a mental illness common ground not rooted in abstractions or stubborn rigid ideologies but shared experience that lead ted and john mccain to work on the patient's bill of rights and to work to forge a smarter, more just immigration system a common desire to fix what is broken a willingness to compromise and pursuit of a larger goal , a personal relationship that lets you fight like heck on one issue and shake hands on the next. not through just cajoling or horse training or serenades but through ted's brand of friendship and kindness and humor and grace. what binds us together across our differences in religion or politics or economic theory, ted wrote in his memoir is

everybody watches ted talks. charlie: in march of 2012, brian stevenson took the stage at the annual ted conference in long beach, california, one of 60 speakers that week. brian: we have a system that treats you better if you are rich and guilty. well not culpability shapes outcomes. -- well -- wealth charlie: he made the case for changing the criminal justice system with the same mixture of passion and logic he uses to persuade judges and juries. he introduced his initiative in a disarmingly honest way. brian: miss parks turned to me and said -- tell me what the equal justice initiative is. i began giving her my wrap. we are trying to challenge injustice. we are trying to help people who have been wrongly convicted. we are trying to end life without parole sentences for children. we are trying to reduce the prison population. i gave her my whole wrap. she said, "mmm, mmm. that's going to make you tired, tired." i simply came to tell you not to take your eyes off the prize. charlie: did you think you had done a

that is what ted cruz is going to try to bring to iowa. the other thing is the blueprint that joni ernst, a tea party candidate used, when she won her senate seat. that is a big part of what will get in in iowa. >> does it mean a limited pool of voters down the road? >> it does. you look at the voters. he will fight rick santorum. and as the campaign moves on, it will be a limited number. republicans have to decide whether they want electability. >> michael shure covers politics for al jazeera. last week we told you about the star bucks campaigns, inviting baristas to strike up a conversation on race relations. they have pulled the plug, and baristas will merely go back to misspelling your name. you'll have to talk about race on your own time. flat white can be the name of a drink, rather than an observation about a boring caucasian. thanks for joining us on this edition of "inside story". get in touch on facebook, twitter. tomorrow - yemen - the u.s.'s strategically located alley on the brink of full-blown war. we'll talk about that next

. >> it's not just ted cruz.is american politics to let me be -- it is american politics. let me be very clear about that. i think what citizens united did will go down in history as being one of the worst decisions ever from the supreme court. i think american democracy, the foundations of american democracy, are in serious danger. what has -- what citizens united has opened up the floodgates for billionaires to be able to spend as much money as they want to elect candidates. frankly and we saw this in chicago the other day with rahm emanuel's reelection, or remains to be seen whether candidates represent working families can win elections when the beginner classes prepared to spend unlimited sums of money. it is a very frightening situation. citizens united has got to be overturned. >> let me ask you about iran. this is a big thing now facing the country, maybe facing the senate. you have been in favor of negotiations. you have been critical of the letter that your republican colleagues wrote. i'm curious what

i think it comes as a surprise to a lot of people who underestimated ted cruz.t also puts the fear god and everybody who is competing in a bracket that they will be a "with him. this is huge. it puts him at a different place than mike huckabee or rick santorum or ben carson and terms of his ability to get his message out. >> it puts pressure on rick perry. >> yes. i wonder if there is any money left for him. speaking of candidates not named jeff, john kasich never cared for what they say and games they play. on megan's show last night governor kasich for it with the idea of running for president. more openly than he has in the past. if you take all the other things going on around the anti-bush world, i'm just what you think. is there a dynamic that's developing that could be called anybody but jeb. >> they are all going to be the anti-bush. they are going to go to the low hanging fruit. that is his weak stock, being a bush and family legacy. i think it will not stop it until jack bush finds a moment to put the thing in the back of the cam, it will be a republic

let's start with ted cruz.alks about how the media portray him as crazy, as if he has dynamite strapped to his chest. that's pretty funny. i mean he doesn't whine about his coverage. when the press went wild over this unfair and inaccurate story about he scared a 3-year-old girl by giving that speech in new hampshire about the world being on fire, he went on msnbc a day or two later saying he was being depicted as freddy krueger not appearing defensive. that's what you have to do in those situations. >> and yet rand paul, i understand he took a lot of hits. and you saw i pressed him too. but in his defense it must be very irritating, even for viewers at home to see somebody who they like who they think has a chance get questioned like that when there is not a chance that, you know, some in the mainstream media would have pressed barack obama like that you know, years ago. they see a double standard. >> and i've been flooded with facebook messages from conservatives saying, yeah, go rand, and savannah guthrie wa

>> helen. >> a mÍ me parece que-- o sea, hablando de jeb bush y le ted cruz, te voy a decir, o sea, tedresentado como hispano. todo lo contrario. hasta no solo recuerdo que cuando Él iba a la convenciÓn republicana, no hacÍa entrevistas en espaÑol porque decÍan que no hablaba bien el espaÑol y no querÍa hacer una entrevista en inglÉs. decimos que Él es hispano, pero ¿en espÍritu es hispano? no te lo puedo decir, asÍ como se puede decir que jeb bush, en ese sentido, aunque nace de padres anglo, estÁ casado, la mexicana americana, mexicana, y es mucho mÁs hispano en manera de pensar y escultura. >> tengo dos soundbites de candidatos latinos. vamos a escuchar primero el comentario de marco rubio en una entrevista que nos dio. adelante. >> yo no creo que haya ningÚn impedimento a que un hispano se convierta en presidente de esta gran naciÓn. >> marco rubio, presidente de los estados unidos. >> mira, no es una ambiciÓn en particular. y te voy a decir por quÉ. obviamente, yo creo que si hago un buen labor en el senado, tendrÉ otras oportunidades. posiblemente polÍtica, posiblemente en la pren

john: anyone one fights ted cruz to their house knows who ted cruz is. mark: on the other hand, -- anyone who invites ted cruz to their house know who ted cruz is very mark: on the other hand, senator cruz is the least culpable. even gay-rights supporters say the boycott for what they did goes too far. john: too far. mark: according to the new york times, jeb bush told some donors that his political organization has raised a lot of money in 100 days. how much money you ask? by some measures, any more than any political operation has raised in recorded history. jeb bush is doing wunderbar. there are questions over whether jeb bush is doing enough to define himself with skeptical voters. besides fundraising is the charge that he is wasting part of this year accurate? john: if i was a supporter of jeb bush, i would be terrified, concerned, all of those at some level. he is raising a lot of money. money matters a lot. it only matters of it translates to the votes. if you go around in new hampshire and other places, it is hard to find the core loyalists jeb b

i don't know what to say ted. >> reporter: and just ted will confirm, this but as we drove, we had tome to the truck and we 0,lz to come back through that zone where we were attacked about five minutes thereafter and it was very hardened with s.w.a.t. teams in riot gear and a presence of 200-plus police officers. they are tracking it. trying to get it but it's ma tas at that sizing across the downtown. if you are in the area of baltimore, i'd say don't come here. turn around and get out. you don't know where this is popping up. if you follow the hots one is over there, four miles one over there, two miles. i can happen anywhere downtown tonight. >> greta, it is completely out of control right now. i've never seen anything like this. this is a major metropolitan city. and this is just a bunch of thugs a mob, taking over baltimore. i have got to tell you even at the location we are at right now it is very concerning because we can see over our sould shoulder that there are individuals who are beginning to build in this area. so i can tell you do we feel safe? no. they've also gretda you

in iowa last night, ted cruz said -- >> today, george will invoked shakespeare that said ted cruise isional to think there are millions of conservatives who will suddenly come running from out of nowhere to vote for ted cruz. the column amounted to a mathematical proof that ted cruz could not be elected president. joining us now is robert costa, national political reporter for "the washington post." so robert, it sounds like ted cruz has the fortune 500 right where he wants them. >> it's really a populist message. he knows when he talks to activist, they are frustrated with what they see as this push towards big business. jeb bush is rallying against it. >> here's what he said in des moines tonight, this is ted cruz continue thing religious theme. he said -- >> joy reid it's going to be the religious liberty campaign. >> i think so. and i think that ted cruz while he has no prayer of getting the nomination, let alone make president, he does have the ability to complicate matters for somebody like jeb bush who does represent the corporates of establishment wing of the party. there is a

i'm ted and this is rudy.y. [ barks ] [ chuckles ] i'd do anything to keep this guy happy and healthy. that's why i'm so excited about these milk-bone brushing chews. whoa i'm not the only one. it's a brilliant way to take care of his teeth. clinically proven as effective as brushing. ok, here you go. have you ever seen a dog brush his own teeth? the twist and nub design cleans all the way down to the gum line, even reaching the back teeth. they taste like a treat but they clean like a toothbrush. nothing says you care like a milk-bone brushing chew. [ barks ] new york state is reinventing how we do business by leading the way on tax cuts. we cut the rates on personal income taxes. we enacted the lowest corporate tax rate since 1968. we eliminated the income tax on manufacturers altogether. with startup-ny, qualified businesses that start, expand or relocate to new york state pay no taxes for 10 years. all to grow our economy and create jobs. see how new york can give your business the opportunity to grow at n

one of the reasons for the historic delay the vocal opposition of one senator ted cruz.tried to get the judiciary committee to block her nomination. asked senate majority leader mitch mcconnell to deny her a confirmation vote on the floor, which really didn't work. we got late news tonight that senator mcconnell did the exact opposite. according to the hill actually worked quietly to round up more than 60 votes to end the filibuster of loretta lynch. ted cruz also wrote an op ed urging republicans to oppose her. to vote no on her nomination. he told voters in new hampshire this saturday he would definitely be voting against her too. >> my vote on loretta lynch is going to be unambiguously no. >> ted cruz even left the campaign trail specifically to oppose her nomination today and to once again urge his fellow senators to join him. >> the republican majority, if it so chose, could defeat this nomination but the republican majority has chosen to go forward and allow loretta lynch to be confirmed. i would note, there are more than a few voters back home that are asking what

ted cruz's supporters, a lot of been in texas and new york are people who believe in ted cruz. would be a great president and they believe in his views on the economy, for policy. they won at least to have him and his ideas be part of the mix in 2016. erik: has enough time passed since citizens united to be able to draw some kind of a connection is not a correlation between the amount of money that you raise through these affiliated super pacs and your i guess, staying power as a presidential contender? mark: we saw last time people like sheldon adelson and others gave large amounts of money to need -- two new gingrich and rick santorum. citizens united has played a role but there has been a attitude change. in 2012 mitt romney and president obama were reluctant to be seen associated with super pacs. a lot of candidates help encourage people to give. you will see not just candidate activity but people the not embarrassed. jeb bush is trying to limit his current super pac contributions to one milling are checks. eventually he will change that. people like ted cruz and rick perry

caller: hi, i just wanted to stick more about ted cruz -- to speak more about ted cruz. don't know if he is a united states citizen or not, i don't think he quite knows. something about how he is just going to renounce his canadian citizenship and he did not know he was a canadian citizen, what is up with that? host: patrick howley, do you want to pick that up? guest: my understanding based on the reporting we have done on this and the sources we have called on, it will not be a problem from the whole candidate issue. i am not an expert on the issue, but he is, as far as i understand, eligible to run for president. i don't think he is canadian officially he has been able to work that out. i actually talk to someone on the staff about this. they say they have it all figured out, handled, don't quote me on that, but everything is copacetic with the thing according to them, and we will see if anybody launches a challenge to it. i think he is an american. i would've liked to see arnold schwarzenegger able to run for president back in the day when i kind of liked arnold schwa

ted cruz who would ted cruz be? he would be the kansas city royals.ast year made it all the way to the world series. ted cruz has that wild card potential as well. who would jeb bush be? jeb bush would be the los angeles dodgers. why would jeb bush be the los angeles dodgers? because if hillary clinton is the new york yankees with the second biggest payroll in baseball right now, bush it looks like by all indications, he'll have the biggest war chest so the dodgers with the biggest payroll. we say that is jeb bush. the experts are picking the dodgers to win this year. chris christie who would he be? he'd be the new york mets. that is a team in a major market but they have been underperforming of late and hurt by scandal. their payroll and ability to have a big payroll decimated by the bernie madoff story. rand paul would be the oakland athletics, the oakland a's. he always wins the straw polls they have at cpac for instance. the oakland a's had the best record in spring training. so it's impressive but does it mean anything? we're not sure so that's w

of course, if i was ted is what i would tell you humans. i told you last night cruz christie has the heart made of meatballs. he recently sat down to do his best toni's soprano impression with pasta and politics. >> i say it is like going back to school because i learn things every day. >>. >> 1 pound of ground beef and heavy cream and italian bacon. he is getting in shape. number five. the u.s. postal service has released the new stamp that features a a quotation from a different person that says the bird doesn't sing because it has an answer because it has a song. that is wonderful but isn't hers schaede referenced in initiate interview over a memoir that did not include that line at all. because somebody else wrote it for'' luckily the stands was like this one. haters will hate that is what george washington told his troops were the upcoming kanye west. and neil armstrong was a wonderful world if you have been a weird stories feel free to use tweet me on instagram spirit today is the anniversary of kurt cobain says body being found but f

(sobs) it's that punk ted? and you said i was crazy for thinking that?! baby, please, let me explain! you bitch! hey! hey, hey! hey! vicky: baby! go to hell! raul! dad! please! all right, all right. okay. rying) hey, it's okay. (c (sighs) hello, frank. hello. can i get you anything? no, thanks, i'm good. what's going on? amy... you didn't know he was in new york? no. (sighs) he asked me to help him find a job so he could move you and heather from houston. uh, forgive me i'm... a little behind here. frank, there's reality and then there's pete's version. (sighs) r apart are they? i don't know what he told you. he divorced me almost three years ago. (sighs) how fa he told me you left him. like i say there's reality and then there's... (sighs) he's lost. started a while back. the shuttle program was ending he was retiring from the corps. the brass bands kind of just... stopped. i don't think he knew who he was supposed to be anymore. "is that all there is?" it's not an easy question to answer. he started drinking more and talking less. one day heather and i

ted cruz believes the earth revolves around ted cruz.point out -- when a guy who has his face on a hope poster calls you self-centered, you know you have a problem. the narcissism index is creeping up a little too high. meanwhile, rick santorum announced he would not attend a same-sex wedding of a friend or loved to which gays and lesbians one. across the country responded, that's not going to be a problem. [laughter] [applause] don't sweat that one. and donald trump is here. still. [laughter] anyway, it's amazing how time flies. soon the first presidential contest will take place, and i for one cannot wait to see who the koch brothers pick. it's exciting. marco rubio, rand paul, ted cruz, jeb bush, scott walker who will finally get that red rose? the winner gets a billion-dollar war chest. the runner-up gets to be the bachelor on the next season of "the bachelor." but seriously -- a billion dollars from just two guys. is it just me or does that feel a little excessive? it's almost insulting to the candidates. the koch brothers think the

thank you, ted. >> my pleasure. >> now as the u.s. marine languishes in iranian prison, obama administration working to finalize a nuclear deal with iran. form everywhere secretary of state henry kissinger issuing a urgent warning he says this nuclear deal would not just drag us deeper into middle east conflicts. america would be at war with a nuclear armed middle east. dr. kissinger joins us. good evening sir. so, dr. kissinger what do you think of this deal, at least as much as we know this framework? >> i think that a number of of -- a number of conceptual issues which have to be resolved in the negotiations that are suppose to follow. >> is there any way to trust iran? i mean, prime minister netanyahu says he doesn't want iran to have any nuclear enrichment capabilities none, zero. >> well the negotiations started 12 years ago to deprive -- capability. that was given up quite a while ago. and once iran was granted enrichment capability then it became a very nearly impossible task to keep them from having nuclear weapons. >> well,

that's what ted chris was missing in the clip you show the. the language was powerful. >> isn't that particularly important route now. ? of coursers want to see someone that grasp the fact that they are in need of leadership, and they want specificationing about changes. >> yeah you got it and they want -- everything should be gone in threeing. give them three facts, three k356r78s of what you're going to chak. give them three messages. if you do it in threes, you prove the point. i have to go back to rand paul. it caused people who were questionable to him to move towards him. that's very rare in a single political speech that you can actually see movement. in our focus groups, there was movement. >> at this very early stage of the game. this is something that ted cruz is it he wants to make it clear this is something he's going to deal with. let's take a listen. >> imagine health care reform that keeps government out of the way between you and your doctor, and that makes health insurance personal and portable and artable. >> how is that diff

ted crashes at a midway point. his friends continue parachuting down the canyon.k up the mountain for his friends to help him, so ted waits alone, scared and in serious pain. >> i'm immediately on the radio. >> i'm alive. i think i'm pretty hurt, though. >> i was having trouble breathing. definitely a lot of short breaths. just a lot of pain in my whole core area. i needed help. and i wasn't going to be able to get out of there in that location on my own. >> i can move everything. i literally put it all on my back and i'm coughing up a lot of blood. i don't know if i just knocked my lungs loose or -- >> by the time the rescue team arrives half an hour later, ted believes he's seriously injured. in an incredible piece of timing, two blackhawk helicopters happened to be in the area doing training exercises. >> having two blackhawk helicopters come in and fly into this 100 feet away from a cliff with flying shrapnel of rock, it was a dangerous location. they were 100%, you know, there to help and they are my heroes. >> the army soldiers hoist ted out of the canyon, s

is that -- you don't hear anything about ted cruz any more. >> ted who? >> ted cruz is not a particularly exciting candidate for someone who is not a republican. i know as a libertarian i am voting for rand paul, but i don't think i am going to get a chance to do that, i think he will be out quick. >> the stage is "american idol," you have to have a real measure of charisma and dynamis emem, and -- dynaism and charm the press. so regard less of where they are on the g.o.p. spectrum, they have to convey to the american people they are willing to fight for them as well as the country. kennedy: but you can't do it all, you cannot have everything. you have this with this president, he is not transparent, he spies on members of the press, he spies on american citizens, he has a horrible record domestically and internationally. they can paint a bleak picture, and a message of hopal ought at. >> when you look at voters, i think you your delivery matters, i think that is what hillary clinton's weakness, a lot of voters are not doing research they will listen and

ted: i think the process of dialogue underway between u.s. and cuba is leading to all kinds of positive results for the united states going into this summit. president obama arrives in panama with a lot of wind on his back. not only because of the gesture towards cuba but also in terms of the breakthrough with iran. a demonstration to the rest of the region and the world that this president will lead boldly through presidential diplomacy and try to turn the page from some of the past problems we've had to a new policy of engagement and partnership and those are the kinds of teams that are important for this region. mark: as peter cook just mentioned, there have been reports that president obama a soon move cuba from the u.s. list of state sponsors of terrorism. what message would this send to american businesses? they have watched for decades. ted: it certainly has a symbolic impact to reassure the financial community that cuba is no longer on this list and the red flag will no longer be raised every time they want to look at doing finance de

he has the ability to expand the tent of the party. >> ted cruz? >> ted cruz is passionate.e memorized the constitution when he was about 6 months old. you'll not find a more impassioned advocate for constitutionally limited government than ted cruz. and he brings a lot of people into fold of his passion for this issue. >> and marco rubio? >> he can speak in a way that conjures up emotion and a great love for our country. he brings to the table a degree of natural political talent that is truly remarkable. >> all three of them will want you. mike lee, thank you. >>> and laura bush is in our >>> there was another former first lady in the spotlight this week. laura bush getting an award for her work helping women and girls around the world. she talked about that mission and little 2016 with jon karl. >> how are you? >> reporter: we caught up with laura bush on rare trip back to washington. the city where she first took on the cause of women's rights around the world. while first lady, she made three trips to afghanistan, where girls were forbidden to go to school. she hosted t

supreme court so i told one of my young staffers somebody named ted wanted me to come and do a ted talkthem no and my staffer went crazy. they're like "what are you talking about? you have to do it." >> and what did they say to convince you? >> this is a platform. you have to do it. everybody watches ted talks. >> being here at ted and seeing the simulation here -- >> in march of 2012 brian stevenson took the stage at the annual ted conference in long beach, california. he was one of more than 60 speakers that week. >> we have a system of justice in this country that treats you much better if you're rich and guilty than if you're poor and innocent. wealth not culpability, shapes outcomes. >> you're an inspiring person. >> thank you so much. >> the person who put brian steven son on the stage was chris anderson, the man who runs ted. he chooses his speakers he hosts ted conferences, and he decides which talks go online. >> there are numerous brilliant people out there and they come up with something really important. so part of the way we see our role is to help them make their knowledge

not laugh, we would all go insane," and if you want to segue into ted cruz on that note -- amy: teds announced for president. hillary clinton has not, and elizabeth warren says she will not. katrina: first of all, thanks to democracy now, i hope "the nation" will be on the horse race. we tried to bring the issues commencement -- commensurate with the scale of the crisis in the country. "the nation" believes this country deserves a contested primary, at least on the democratic side. on the republican side, you are right, ted cruz is the first and we will have a caravan of all kinds of clowns, thugs operators -- amy: ted cruz, jeb bush, both have endorsed the indiana so-called religious freedom law. katrina: what struck me the other day -- this is somewhat different -- we talked about this -- how far the republican party has moved from conservatism, as may be what edmund burke understood. this is an extremist party. james baker, secretary of state under george the first, spoke at the j-street conference the other day. he spoke words -- very carefully chose his words about israel and w

>> so i hear ted cruz is running. >> no, no, no. >> he i mean ted cruz is the guy who is saying i amoing to be -- >> larry: he will come out. >> exactly. and, you know, he is championing that group of americans who say we want someone to be on our side and to lead us and he and mike huckabee are raising their hands saying in 2016, you know, if somebody is going to take up the mantle and deciding to do it. >> larry: like the pizzeria, the people, you know, they were asked a hypothetical question and asked -- they got voted forgiving it 100. people didn't agree with their essay, but do you think that was kind of an over reaction? people like are threatening to burn the place down and do you think that is an over reaction or -- >> well, as an owner of a pizzeria, i would say that in any sense, in any time if you diminish the potential for people to come to your restaurant you have done yourself a disservice and not just smart. their politics can be whatever you want. but as commerce runs you should serve everybody that comes in with a smile. >> well, they believe the fact that other tha
