from the perspective -- actually was at the aspen institute this summer, where u.s. bobs question about, should we be eliminating football -- tackling a football before the age of 14. at that point i couldn't speak, although we did speak that night. one of the things i said as we've got to change things. in its current form of credit problem. although the age limit is something that has to be further studied here it is going to finish my comments with research, but maybe starts with research in trying to understand what evidence do we have. one of the things that is hopeful that i've seen in sports like football, but also across, ice hockey, soccer other sports as we look at technique differently. this is a pretty young field and taking the issue of injury, concussion and linking it back with the sport is exactly what we need to be doing. we've not really done that up until the last few years. but the other thing is we have so little data on kids right now in terms of concussions we have to start collecting more data. again, what virginia tech is doing is important an

i was actually on a panel with paula broadwell at the aspen security forum last july in which she was quite open about how much access she had to general petraeus when she was writing the biography of him, how she also had access to classified information. this made people uncomfortable. she made a point of saying she had a high level security clearance and that she didn't consider herself a journalist. and i should point out that there were a lot of people close to general petraeus who wondered why he had chosen paula broadwell who had no background as a journalist, no background as a biographer, to be his biographer. but this was at a stage in general petraeus' career when very few people were going to question his judgment. >> because a lot of people are asking if broadwell had access to too much confidential information. listen to what she said about the benghazi consulate attacks in a speech just last month. listen to this, michael. >> i don't know if a lot of you heard this, but the cia annex had actually taken a couple of libyan militia members prisoner and they think that the

traction, but in summer 2010, one of the first donors sent text messages that bill gates was at the aspen ideas festival telling the audience he uses a site that he thinks is great called the khan academy, usings it for himself and kids, but then, you know, i didn't know what to do. do i reach out? i don't think he's listed. his two weeks later, the chief of staff called saying bill's a fan, and i said, yeah, yeah, i heard that. if you're free, we want to fly you up. my calendar was blank. i can make time for bill. i have to cut my nails, but other than that, my schedule's flexible. i went up, and, i mean, really articulated this. the time, it was the videos i was doing, look, if we can get resources, and i was dreaming about a five-person team and office space. that was the dream at that point. we could make -- we could build out the software, and i did it with my cousins so students can build community on the site and help each other and build forces for teachers so that they can use it to diagnose students and leverage class time effectively, and then him and later google as well, you

got the attraction but in 20101 of the donors started sending text messages that bill gates was at the aspeni.t. festival and the whole audience that it uses a site that he thought was great and he would visit with these kids which made me a little nervous, but then i reach out to them and two weeks later the chief of staff called and you might have heard he is a fan and they said we would like to fly you up and i've got to cut my nails but other than that i went up and really articulated the videos i was doing. if we can get some resources i was dreaming the dream at that point we could build out the software that i started to doing with my cousins of the students could get practice and feed back and start building a community on the site said they could help each other and built for the teachers so that they could use it to diagnose students but leverage class time more effectively and in him as well and they were strong believers in that. >> host: so, you know, you talk a little bit about how the creativity in your book and we talked a little bit about this earlier on, but do you think th

it's why a 16-month panel discussion that might never have seen the light of day at the aspen institute all of a sudden now becomes very interesting. some added cig significance, shall we saw, because mrs. broadwell talked about being in general petraeus' inner circle in afghanistan. >> and i was embedded with general petraeus in afghanistan and it was a little confusing for some of the folks there because i'm also a military reservice, so a will the of my former peers didn't know how to treat me. was i major broadwell or journalist broadwell? i had to follow very clear lines of disclosure. i felt like i was held to a higher level of accountability because i could lose my clearance, yet i was entrust ed on this opportunity to sit in with meetings with general petraeus, listen to classified chatter of terrorist talk. >> boy. terrorist talk. just chatter. i'll just sit in on that. that's kind of a big deal. so from all we know, the affair between these two began after his time in afghanistan, about two months into general petraeus' tenure at the cia and ended earlier this year. are you st

also what the aspen institute. low marks for the 2012 election. this is from the people andpress.org. "the desire for by a partnership is not fully shared," is the takeaway headline. voters want president obama to work with the other side. guest: most independents do want people to reach consensus. roughly 75% of the american people want to see people work across party lines, or least work together to reach consensus. reaching compromise is a unilateral disarmament. if we want to resolve the problems of the deficit and debt, america's role in keeping its strong, we have to solve these problems. the only to solve problems is to work together. just like in your family. it can lead to divorce. we want some degree of unity and harmony. it doesn't mean giving up on your principles. sometimes you have to reach consensus to move forward. host: here are the numbers to call. democrats -- 202-585-3880. republicans -- 202-585-3881. independent callers -- 202-585- 3882. mike from ohio. caller: i would like to speak about compromise and congress. we need to kn

[laughter] so i have reserved a piece of vanity to myself here. across the program, i only wanted to do one thing, which was to introduce bill gates. walter isaacson, my colleague in doing this work, wrote a cover story in "time" in 1997 about bill gates. here is how it opened -- when bill gates was in the sixth grade, his parent

but yesterday, um, brzezinski at the aspen institute suggested that a preemptive military strike to take out iran's existing military capability was not a credible option because it starts a conflict without necessarily understanding where it ends. he was very clear that, you know, the military remains an option, but he would say it has to be where iran acts first to try to break out of sanctions, and if so, then there's a much more strong, justifiable and greater regional support, you know, to retaliate. what is, what is -- how do you see the role of military force in this? and beyond that, the president has said that containment is not his policy, and yet you in your days as a soviet expert understood that containment works just fine. you know, if diplomacy fails -- >> right. >> -- and the military option may be necessary but carries tremendous cost and uncertainty, is containment a viable option with regard to iran? >> well, there was -- let's take that issue on directly, and then i can deal with, also, with what brzezinski said. there was a debate within the administration over -- be

charlie firestone from the aspen institute. very involved in issues i will be talking about today. let me start with one provocative sentence from jeffrey sachs of columbia university. he said recently the information and communications technology revolution is short of the most single force or economic development in the world today. i want to talk about that today, about the enormous opportunities that broadband revolution is creating. i will also talk about the dangers fact that the global internet is at a crossroads. threats to the future of the internet have never been more serious, and if we don't tackle these threats, the u.s. and other nations will pay the price in the form of lost economic growth and development, stifled innovation and social progress and diminished opportunity. so i will describe those threats and talk about what needs to happen for us to keep the global internet on the right path. to harness the opportunities new communications, technologies to benefit all. there's a lot that about the relationship between communications technologies and world events, but

you know, i spent some time with paula broadwell in aspen over the summer at a national security forum, and she was telling me that she was writing a second book on general petraeus and the two of them had been working on it and this was really meant to be the book that was his legacy so it's extremely possible given that little nugget that a lot of the information that she had was something that she had planned to use for the second book as well. >> fran, do you think or do you have any knowledge of the stuff, that was at paula broadwell's house, that that contributed to the ending of their relationship? >> reporter: no. the way it was said to me and it would not be surprising, anderson, a prominent person of historical significance like david petraeus would have all sorts of documents going back from his time, you know, when he was commanding in iraq, commanding in afghanistan, you know, and now at the cia, so it would not be surprising that he would have kept documents, at some point when he left government he could go back and write a book of his own. so i suspect some of it is sup
