. >> i wonder how your owner now feels about the liberal stance in the huffington post? the independence is guaranteed as your reporter. i've never heard one word on how to coffer trump. >> the reason i'm asking is i'm wondering if there will be a spin off. >> there's nothing like that in the horizon. >> let me ask you about the concept of your book. there's a headline on the website. the writer was suggesting that perhaps sleep deprivation will explain donald trump's behavior. why are you saying sleep is so important even though trump is not getting enough of it? >> i have an entire chapter on the science. the scientific findings that show contrary to our believes when we sleep the brain is inactive. that's the activity. all the toxins during the day happen. our functions are degraded and we see that happening with trump again and again. we see the lack of judgment, the false memories, the inability to process information but we also saw it with rubio. you saw what happened to the did i trast rous debate that derailed his campaign and in 2012 we now have actually the ev

huffington is here. she's the editor in chief of the huffington post media group. so taken on a new role as a sleep evangelist. she has a new book that explores the causes and consequences of sleep deprivation. ariannaased to have huffington back at the table. county among your disciples, tell me among those who think you are onto something big. arianna: you have made napping legitimate, because long before i became a sleep evangelist, you were talking about how you had to choose between 20 minutes additional prep or 20 minutes of a nap, you would choose a nap because that would make it easier for you to retrieve all the information you had to be fully present during the interview, and this was much -- and all of these were much more important than getting one more fact. charlie: at every level of what you argue, whether it is sex, work performance, the way you feel, or whether it is your health, i believe that sleep is crucial. i think seven hours is a great place to go. i generally get about six, then make it up with a couple short naps. end up with seven. but it

i wrote a piece in the huffington post called in defense of the white working class voter.isturbed by sm eed b labels, being called racists, xenophobes and been denigrated. i think it's causing a lot of strife and is unnecessary. we're america. you're allowed to vote for who you want to. and i think that supporting donald trump, although that may not be my position, is perfectly acceptable to me. >> okay. so the personal attacks lodged by anti-trump people and the media, there's a lot of them in the media, you feel are unamerican? >> it's not that they're unamerican. i feel that it's reflective of this world, the political correctness that you have too think a certain way or be a certain way to be acceptable. and i think that hardworking people are worthy of our respect and they have some really valid concerns. >> now, when you wrote that in the huffington post, which is a decidedly left-wing website, did you get hate mail, people attacking you? >> i didn't get hate mail. i had people who didn't agree with me. >> that's okay. as long as they did it in a responsible way. >>

all bets are off. >> that's why there's this article in the "huffington post" eight reasons why the gop ticket will be kasich/rubio they said. trump is not going to get it in the first one. they said if you think the establishment is going to go for ted cruz, you're crazy. >> correct. >> they're going to look at one thing, who can beat hillary, and they say that's where john kasich comes in. >> you look at the numbers, the numbers are actual factual. if it's kasich against hillary clinton, he crushes her. if it's kasich against bernie, he -- bernie's got an opportunity there but i think if we get into the general election and they're both running, i think kasich will close that gap. >> two points on that, number one is people on the trump team and on cruz say kasich hadn't gotten it that bad, he's never been the front-runner so he didn't have all the cannons aimed at him so his numbers would go down and those matchups would not be as favorable to him. the other thing they say, ted cruz said to me recently the republican nominee is not going to be a guy who lost 49 states. >> yeah, but a

we have rooms at the "huffington post" that are full and it's better than going for a third doughnut.rious about that. is the connection between sleep deprivation and alzheimer's. it's now one in nine people over the age of 65 is going to get or has right now alzheimer's. all the new research shows if you are sleep deprived and toxins collected during the day are not cleaned out during the night and that's the time when the brain actually washes away the toxins. that's one of the primary causes of alzheimer's. there is to be a correlation between the epidemic of alzheimer and epidemic of sleep deprivation. >> you talked to the current state-of-the-art researchers on this. >> absolutely. >> it was not understood 20, 30 years ago. >> science is very recent. the first scientific sleep institute was founded in stanford in 1970. now there are over 2,500 centers. >> which toxins. when neurotransmitters mediate thought and everything else we do they are not broken down. i'm sure they need to be replenished. obviously sleep must be a time when -- there's a lot of important things happening. r

let's go back to that. >> well, 2007, i was two years into building the huffington post, i had two daughters, one of whom was doing the round of colleges, you know, to decide which college to apply to. >> oh, yeah. >> you know that? >> oh, it's a horrible process. >> so i had put my blackberry away to be fully with her. and then coming to the hotel room and working at night. and as a result, i got back to i collapsed, broke my cheekbone on the way down. and that was the beginning of reevaluating not just my way of living, but the way of living of millions of people who are all burned out. i mean, look at the casualties. last year we had executive after executive collapsing on the treadmill either dying or getting a heart attack. because we've convinced people that we all need to exercise and to eat healthy, whether we do it or not, but the third leg of the stool is sleep. even if you just want to lose weight -- >> right. alison sweeney just talked about that. >> it's more important to sleep enough than to exercise. >> well, you know, interesting. in the book you talk about a chapter, but i'm
