remember it's the occolt idea, the hidden. if you believe in the kind of what has emerged of a how -- the left behind series 16 books, 89 million copies, it was on the "the new york times" best-sellers list at the same time. seven have been number one of five films of different quality and one pc game. but this is popular culture and the understanding -- remember that the underlying argument of this kind of how lindsey late great planet earth revolution thought is there will be a world government controlled by the anti-christ and it will persecute christians during the tribulation. so when they talk about the u.n. or the atf or the new world order and you want to argue particular bits of this for some people they're not arguing that evidence because they know there will be a world government. okay, maybe it's not the u.n. maybe it's the eu. maybe it's something else, but you're trying to argue the facts of a particular case. but underneath it is this belief of a -- that we know there will be a world government. you want to arg

this is the idea. not only a strategic to go over the transportation system industrial base but also to prevent that stuff from moving around. the transportation line is the reason. even if it is coming from outside to prevent that from keeping north vietnam sustain. make them feel the pain of war. likewise let's do an interdiction campaign that prevents the material from going to the north down to the self and primarily through laos. you have to stop that movement. the development that is happening in 1964, if we do a strategic air campaign. then there is another incident. a lot of small attacks. things are happening. we get a situation in the gulf of tonkin right off the shores of north vietnam where patrol boats attack intelligence gathering ships. i'm not concerned about who is provoking what. i don't want to get into a discussion. we now have the information that says, there was a first attack and that was seen as a retaliatory attack not aggressive by the north vietnamese. but the second attack su

the idea of how do we get the north vietnamese. one idea is you bomb them and you'll pause. in 1965 they start this in march. there's there will be over a month long bombing the try to talk with the -- try to get the north vietnamese to stop supporting. johnson keeps him on for well over a year. he will not -- whether you say he voluntarily leaves or he's let loose by the president, which is the more typical situation, that doesn't happen until 1968. here is an idea that says maybe this is not working. maybe this is working. the military is very optimistic about this campaign and how it's working. then you have in january of 1968, a major attack along south vietnam. this demonstrates even the operational level hasn't worked. it's kind of -- it's major issue for the entire war but it's a turning point for the air campaign. it's a 44 month, on and off. all the pauses that you have for weather. we'll spend more time discussing in the next lesson. >> measuring it by bombs dropped. >> exactly. that's not telling you of effects effects. the air force starts going in. who cares how

, this majority idea, and yet the way that it is treated within our political and cultural discourse. it is also not an idea that's new at all. the idea that weird lights or objects in the sky is something to be concerned about is nothing new. but then if you are a serf in 13th century europe, what are you going to think that floating lights in the sky might be? is it going to be aliens? >> witches. >> witches? >> omens of doom. >> omens of doom. any other guesses? >> god. >> god, right. god, devils, witches, omens. overwhelmingly a supernatural explanation. it is not really until we start to see that kind of enlightenment rationalism supplant these ideas that we move to super natural explanations for these unexplained phenomenon. even then we need to be careful about drawing too wide a divide between those two. as we're going to see, the two ideas, the supernatural and the scientific, are going to remain pretty thoroughly intertwined. matthew? >> we've got 11% of people here who think ufos are real but don't think al

especially johnson pick the idea that maybe the chinese could get involved. and then, when we had our lesson on cold war, in fact, we discussed -- crisis. this idea that the world was on the brink of exchanging nuclear weapons. of getting in that open conflict. it scared people. and, johnson was affected by this also. >> that gives you an idea of what he wants to try to keep inks tempered down. he does not want to get a sense of expanding the war. we will see how his operation falls into that constraint. and then, i have, again from that last lesson, specifically with the air forces, specifically with the united states air force, we will look at remember what that for structure look like. what were the people in the air force training for at this period of time? as we are increasing involvement, specifically the air involvement. and then, more context. we cannot forget that johnson has something else on his mind. he wants to advance aggressive policies that he terms the great society. reform movements. that cost a lot of political clout, and it costs a lot of

, this majority idea, and the way that it is treated within our political and cultural discourse, it is also an idea that is toll, the idea that there are like and objects in the sky that are something to be concerned about is nothing. -- new. if you are a star from 13th century europe, what are you going to think that floating lights in the sky might be? is it going to be aliens russian mark which is? any other gases? good, devils, which is omens, overwhelmingly a supernatural explanation. it is not until we start to see that enlightenment rationalism supply these ideas of divine providence, that we move from supernatural to scientific explanations for these unexplained phenomena. even then, we need to be careful about drawing to widen the divide between those two. the two ideas, supernatural and scientific, are going to remain intertwined. >> we have got 11% of people here that think ufos are real, but don't think aliens have visited earth. i was wondering, a ufo is just an unidentified flying object, what is the boundar

to emmy noether is one of the most powerful ideas that underlies quantum field theory so it's well worth exploring and there's an essay on it in the book and i give sources for further reading cause i think it's so profound and delightful to explore and even richard feynman still find this equivalence between in variance and conservation principle to be staggering. if he's staggered, that's saying a lot. thank you. >> i have one concern. >> that's ominous. >> a complete lack of rigor, is that it? >> i would like to know about these wonderful things like the conservation laws and how they relate to symmetry and so on. and at the same time, i am modest in my ability to understand abstract ideas. i'm not a richard feynman and i'm not even a jim holt. but at any rate, i feel very frustrated in the sense that you speak about beauty, that it is transcendent. >> do you like bob? >> yes. >> do you have a deep understanding of the period of counterpoint? number there you go . you can see the beauty in box without knowing that.. there are leve

this is the idea. not only a strategic to go after the transportation industrial base but also to prevent that stuff from moving around. so, that transportation line. that's the reason for it is even if stuff is coming from the outside to help prevent that from keeping north vietnam sustained, make them feel the pain of war. likewise, let's do an operational interdiction campaign that prevents that material going from the north down to the south and primarilily through laos. you have to stop that movement. that's the development happening in 1964 if we do a strategic air campaign. then there's another incident. there's a lot of small attacks. things are still happening. the insurgency is still happening in the south. . then we get a situation in the gulf of tonkin right off the shores of north vietnam where patrol boats attack intelligence-gathering ships there. and i'm not concerned about who's provoking what. i don't want to get in that discussion. certainly here are nice pictures maddox himself. some

secondly, the idea that money is scarce and that's fundamental to the agenda the idea that there's a finite amount of money and so people have to fight over that over the course of time in order to sustain themselves socially. the third thing, and this is the question, the notion an idea of internet voting using black chain as a backup and a backend in order to verify the vote and what are your thoughts on that? >> host: you put a lot out there. >> guest: thank you for the kind comments. let's talk about voting. part of my work as i work for eff.org. the oldest and best respected of all the digital activist groups. the surveillance of free-speech online. we got in line with this after bush v gore. the effort to standardize digital voting machines. a very skeptical of electronic voting. i think pen and paper voting is probably our best bet for -- but if we must have digital voting, let us at least have an audit trail. in that regard, black chain sounds like maybe the solution to that problem. i don't know that it's the right solution. i think we can actually do auditing cheaply, all we

the voters. these networks of ideas. this is part of the separate system of american beliefs of what is possible in and of itself. what are the boundaries of reality. what are the boundaries of the possible. okay? so in a sense, you could say depending on where you set those boundaries, you have a very different idea of what is possible. i had given you -- and this is real difficult, you don't know how to know what we all believe. in a sense, to the degree that we can know what everyone else believes, it is hard, it is difficult. so we have questionnaires. these are questionnaires that are not always reliable but they should have some answer of what kind of beliefs are out there in american society. the first i want to ask about is 2007 pew poll of 37,000 people, very well respected. this was a big survey by pew and another one would come out of 35,000 people in very big numbers nationwide. a very good survey. what percentage of americans believe in god or a universal spirit? just give me a number. 75. 80, 60. 85. 90. so

we are accustomed to the idea of walter cronkite and the new york times. >> we are hanging onto the idea that that is what the american way of journalism is. >> it wasn't all that great. he had to manipulate that system. mccarthy would call a press conference at 11:30 in the morning because he knew the papers closed at noon and he would say i'm speaking to a communist in des moines and the afternoon papers would flash. senator. seeks red in des moines. he'd wait until the 11:30 p.m. and say he is eluding me but i am redoubling my efforts. headlines across the country, senator. redoubled efforts. he wrote that to power and television helped undo it because when people could watch him, they did not want to that. he rose because of intense coverage and he fell because of intense coverage. that is the mysterious cycle. if anything-- if there would be more voices, and the cacophony there is a kind of chorus. >> i'm asking you to look back through presidents over time to find examples that support or don't support the idea that we need a free and fair press in this country. today there is a se

i'm interested in the idea of the classes. this is a concept i threw out in the book and it comes from my experience of occupied. they took place in the occupations and want to show their support. at one point i spent two days going through every single testimony. if the feminists would describe as one education or social service in one way or another and there was an incredible outrage at the fact the more you work the less they pay you. they would be so in debt and miserable that you can't even take care of your family. so there was a kind of outrage and that is what we are seeing. there's less people employed in the profits go up. in the education it is the opposite. productivity keeps going up and at the same time we have to bring more and more people into that sector because the productivity is down and the amount of services and the rate of health care inflation and education inflation we all know about. the only way to get any profitability is to squeeze the wage is so although for the world we see this rebellion. in th

i tried to find out the secret to this common card trick but in the end i still had no idea of how it was done. to the. only source official. and i think we live in a society that is very rational. magic is the last bastion of mystery and secrets that exist if you get a lot of people to hold on to some mystery that is absent in society. this man is widely considered the father of modern magic. he was born in the wire eighteen zero five and later moved to paris where he began his for reign magic by opening a theater his allusions soon became a hit with the public and the whole deal with. a watchmaker and thanks to science he completely redesigned the illusions but he primarily modified magic seems. cinema. before him there were sorcerers who tried to scare the audience. in the world down dressed in a fine suit he had piano accompaniment for his magic tricks. man he created the image of the gentleman magician. influenced countless magicians after him the most famous of them was american illusionist harry houdini who even adopted and modified dan's name. magic of course is all about opti

offered competition in the marketplace entrepreneurs to test ideas if they can raise the capital to ca convince so the ls answer to your question isn't mt efficient t it is a lot more efficient than it used to be we have proof of concept that it tin work beautifully if thewri rules are crafted right now we know what direction we should head. there isn't a lot of debate about that but really we only scratch the surface of how much spectrum we put out in this liberal way and most majority of the airways that are valuable for communication are still arel squandered and allocated for things set aside 50 or 60 yearsr ago but that technology is the technology is gone the application is moot but we are blocking amazing new stuff.s can we need to come up with better mechanisms a lot of my book is devoted to what regulators can doleash ash even more what we have shown to come in withoutl the micromanagement of the fcc in washington.so regatory >> so the regulatory framework is used to protect existing players? >> yes. e be a little bit facetiousd yes.he sys it has been known to happen and the o

remember the occult idea, the hidden. this is a code to be figured out, to tell you what will happen in the future, and you need to know who the dragon is and who is the whore of babylon and what is the anti-christ, all of these questions and if you believe in the kind of what has emerged as a -- a kind of end times, the "left behind" series, 80 million copies, the first four books have the four slots on the top -- on the "new york times" best seller list at the same time. seven have been number one. five films of differing quality and one pc game. right? but this is popular culture, and the understanding -- remember that the underlying argument of this kind of late planet earth revelation thought is there will be a world government control bid ted by the anti-christ and it will persecute christians during the tribulation. when they talk about the u.n. or the new world order and you want to argue particularly bits of this, for some people, they're not arguing that evidence because they know there will be a world governmen

the voters. so these are networks of ideas. right? they are part of a separate system of american beliefs of what is possible in and of itself. what are the boundaries of reality. what are the boundaries of the possible. he mean in a sense, you could say, depending on where you set those boundaries, you have a very different idea of what is possible. so i have given you -- and this is the real difficulty. right? we don't know how to know what we all believe. in a sense, to the degree that we can know what everyone else around us believes, it is hard, it is difficult. so we have questionnaires. these are not always reliable but they should give us some answer of what are the kinds of beliefs that are out there in american society. first one i want to ask about, a 2007 pew poll of 35,000 people very well respected in a major survey. okay? so this was a big survey by pew. there was another one that's going to come out, 35,000 people. very good numbers. nationwide, accounted for for race and ethnicity. a very good survey. right? what perce

navy to join the grand fleet pick the idea -- the idea was you could re-commission it and take their crow and make them man new construction -- ships. this idea is not accepted initially by high officials in the united states navy who were tremendously wary of diminishing the u.s. battle fleet pick they were happy to send destroyers and submarines. you have seen that with the destroyer division but the battleships were different. the cnl -- the admirals traveled to london and they were briefed by the officials in britain and came away convinced that yes indeed, if we don't beef up the grand fleet there is a strong chance that britain might actually have to withdraw from the war. they sent this message back to the secretary of the navy and here is what the admiral actually said to him. if it any encounter it should be in indicated that the outcome would have been more favorable or more decisive had more allied forces been available it would be difficult to satisfactorily explain the absence of our ships. you want to be in the party if you will. at that point, daniels released battleshi

some peoples method is to have an idea and the research it. y method is a research everything until it sparks an idea. >> host: starting with the latest book "walkaway" tell us about those ideas that eventually sparked the book trip to so "walkaway" is a a novel i called optimistic disaster novel. a book in which and a time of great economic and of our mental crisis the majority people pull together to help each other and the enemy is at as in the crisis novels, the enemy isn't the bad people who had just been waiting for the breakdown of law and order to go eat their neighbors. the enemy other people who are convinced that in time of crisis that people are coming specifically to racialized people, the poor people are coming for them who are preemptively policing them to kind of keep them from coming and tearing down there walled compounds. it's an idea that came from a lot of sources but particularly rebecca book of paradise built-in help. she had this book research come history of disaster that people behaved in them and have thought they bea

that was the idea. but at the end of the book that he writes about reconstruction has a chapter called propaganda of history. he takes the dunning school too task. he quotes them and extremely racist views about black people. and the fact that they literally -- you know, he said they were bad history. they just wrote what southerners said about reconstruction and pretty much reproduced that. he actually has a wonderful quote that i'm going to read out to you. he says in his book, in this chap text the propaganda of history, the magnificent figures of charles sumner and thaddeus stevens, these were the radicals, right -- had been beesmirched. we have been cajoling and flattering the south and slurring the north because the south is determined to rewrite history and the north is not interested in history but in wealth. he is condemning the republican party's abandonment of the reconstruction project, the reconversion from the party of anti-slavery to the party of big business during the guilded age. a arro

for decades, we in the united states went by the him a generous idea of autism. but the children who are relatively similar to one another. they have more severe cognitive impairment in more than minute speech. said to include a children with who we might today call the tree and three and he is credited today with the idea we have of an autism spectrum. asperger developed his diagnosis during the third right and he has been her poetic reputation as not to give them any cultivated this is having risked his life in order to protect children from the train to killing program that murdered youths considered to be disabled. in this video, asperger exercise the abilities of children with autism, stressing their value to the state. supposedly he was using the autism type of service as a psychiatric schindler's list. so i set out to tell this story as an heroic tale of asperger in the third right. when i went to the archives in vienna, the very first day and in fact the very first file i looked at was enough to show to me that transfer was complicit in the racial hygiene

the idea of states rights, the states have certain rights. remember who are the people who have evoked state rights before and for what purpose? before the war? abby. wait for the mike. make sure the mike is close to you so that everyone can hear you your intelligent questions and responses. >> maybe -- before the civil war it was southern planted politicians and with state rights and that is to do with slavery and so some politicians like in the secession of south carolina in a statement they invoked states rights of a sovereignty between the states but now the federal government has won -- that idea can't stand any more because now they're having to be reintroduced so slavery is abolished and there is no sovereignty between the states. the federal government -- hasn't pressed it. >> very good. that is exactly why state rights is somewhat discredited, that idea because for us it was used to defend slavery by southern states and they didn't want a federal government to ib-- to interfere with slavery and it was used to secede from the union. i

in fact, the oath, she is trying to make a contract. she is trying to put forward an idea of we together can make a partnership. we can trust each other. you can trust that my word is good. this is the only way i know how to get even close to that vision of upward mobility. the bureau highs -- hires an attorney and the loss will not support this. i am of the opinion that the man cannot be forced by the laws of the state. in some places, these amendments could not reach. don't let me mislead you. the amoco -- the amicable possibility held out. last week we looked at harry jarvis's story of getting a boat, coming to fort monroe and saying that this will be a lack man's war before it is through. this, it has a lot of popular sway and reenacted. we see it enacted in the soldier model, in the labor model as it was for jordan anderson. we see those as the soldier with his family, this nuclear family, finding away overnight to be considered as part, a potential part of a middle- class. there were many african american soldiers. they are making negotiations with the union. it's be

that is the idea in the front page of the "times." guest: the universal income debate -- there will just be some people that we do not need to work, so let's just to them a universal a sick income. that is a misunderstanding of the changes happening today. what we will see his job reconstruction, not job destruction. in the 1990's, when atm's were coming online, people said we will not have bank tellers anymore because these robots will take over. it turns out we have more bank tellers today then we had before atm's. people are still doing their jobs. it is just those jobs require a different set of skills. it is no longer just counting money. they need to know how to do a more dynamic interaction. we need to do the jobs that will be created in this new economy rather than saying why not just a out of the economy, we will give you a check -- people want the dignity of work. host: so with the farm bill, particularly those who would receive food stamps and will require work, is that something third way would sign on to? the idea that pe

of god was rather like the muslim idea that is that god cannot be given a shame of form or gender shape a bigger pardon cannot be touched the new imagine could be an idea could be a spark could be a puff of air we don't know what god is right so a god without qualities is what the hindus worshiped but they realised that in fact ordinary people needed more than that they needed something they could look to a they needed for example in the basic ear a lot of nature worship happened people worship trees and rivers and fire for example so they said no we better have an idea of god that actually boozer they are by the way the big sages the is the the thinkers and writers i mean you're talking about religion. about a thousand years into its existence of four thousand years so that's what i'm talking about and then came up with the idea of god in a more familiar sense issue or a big one but they said since no one really knows what god looks like let's allow people to imagine god as they want and so there are three hundred thirty three. a million names of god with lots of forms you want t

i think the ideas were innovative and fresh gas pressure i have seen in decades. the book overall, there is a very rich session of the foundation of the proposal in terms of its history. so it is very difficult for the present however we were created in a radical step forward today. but on the second thing refreshingly visa ideas don't align with the notion of right and left. by a great gap in a different way and that's in turn the shaky. as with innovative ideas come harder to dismiss. so i think these are ideas that deserve a strong and serious hearing they should be implemented and deserve a critical view as well. so i will give you some of my reaction and then we will take questions from you so want to start with the idea that structures how we think about ownership of private property turning more owners into renters. but the benefit is you don't have this competing tension you want to value property and also low enough not to pay a high tax. for those that are different than those standard questions but how that might change the social fabric so this idea in

i think the idea of the six-month reporting is not a bad idea at all, because after all, under existing law, corporations have to report any existing developments immediately so it's not as if not having reports will keep them swept under the rug for six months. that seems to be a good idea. her ideas are great for lawyers but she's probably a huge, huge beneficiary of the trial bar and that's a very big factor, almost as big as teachers in the democratic party. liz: good point. almost as if elizabeth warren wants to make the tort bar great again. isn't capitalism doing pretty well under trump, especially for government worker pensions, who have shares in a lot of these companies? >> capitalism does so well for everybody, it's insane. the idea of comparing capitalism and socialism is just terrifying and it scares me when i see young people like the people who were just teased on your show saying they are not proud to be americans, not proud of capitalism. i saw some demonstrators the other day shouting at people about their capitalist life. it's the freest system in the world, especiall

[cheers and applause] >> so you get the idea of what he's saying at this point and the thing that he wants to do is to explain his new philosophy of what he wants to follow, it's black nationalism and what he says is, that this is a time in the world when in asia, africa, liberation movements had come up after second world war and people were overthrowing colonial oppressors and what he's saying isn't the philosophy behind black nationalism, the united states did not have colony in africa, they brought the colony here and established it principally in the south and the idea of black nationalism is that group needs to be cohesive work together and it's a spectrum, all the way from political involvement together, owning your own stores within community, all the way to black nation established in the south. and he was along that spectrum. here is the last segment i will play from the ballot or bullet. >> when we look upon where we live, we found white, black, in africa and asia they are getting independence. they are not getting it by singing we shall over come, they are getting it thro

so the idea was you could not express an opinion unless you gave equal time to both sides. so most people stayed out of that altogether. as part of a move, president reagan repealed that in the '80s. rush limbaugh goes national in 1988. by 1992 he's so important his support of pat buchanan helps bring george h.w. bush down in the primary. '96 you have fox, msnbc, cnn was founded in '80, of course. so you had this period where we did have, more or less with the kind of -- part of it also is that's the media world in which most of us grew up. we're accustomed to this idea of cronkite and the "new york times" and there was a conversation. >> we're clinging onto the idea that's what it should be. that's what the american way of journalism is. my question is, is it? >> no. it wasn't all that great. joe mccarthy knew how to manipulate that system. he would call a press conference for 11:00 in the morning because he knew the papers closed at noon. he would say i'm seeking a communist in demy name s moines. he would wait until 11:00 p.m., headlines across the country, redoubles effo

and now, the idea of regulation, serious regulation is really on the table.hat's different from saying we are likely to get there, that this congress will get there, but we will see a number of legislative proposals in the months ahead to regulate these companies in ways we have not seen before. emily: so, what kind of ways that we have not seen before? we are seeing sheryl sandberg, twitter ceo jack dorsey prepare to testify before congress next week. mark zuckerberg, going earlier this year, completely unprecedented. what a direction could congress take? matt: you're going to see a number of things on the table. some will be aimed at election interference. you've seen the introduction of what's known as the honest ads act, requiring transparency in advertising on social media. you are likely to see more legislation introduced about privacy protections, really requiring the consent of subscribers before social media can use your information, your data, giving you more control over it, not the company the ability to profit from it. in the more extreme case, p

this was something debated a little bit, like the british brexit election and the idea on the one handou might want to give higher wait to older people because they have more knowledge, more understanding of pow politics and economics interplay in areas, the other argument on the other side is you want to give a bigger wait to young people because young people have a longer, longer sort of future to -- to endure based on what the policy outcome of the referra -- referendum would be. so those are up for debates, switzerland hat a number of discussions an votes on it, one of the things i've been thinking a lot about, i should say i can see it might not be appealing but i think i've been thinking about whether or not we could have a credible waited voting system with referenda, think about california, they always have referendums on the ballots, can you think if it's something like sugar tax, would it be valuable for society to maybe give a bigger wait to people who are in the healthcare sector and understand what the real implications of that might be or not. doesn't mean that other peop

ok let's talk now to alex kingsbury the deputy ideas editor at the boston globe the paper that launched in coordinated today's action alex thanks for joining us perhaps you could start out by telling us how the idea for today's coordinated defense of press freedom emerged what prompted this. what prompted this was this alarming departure of mr trump's past rhetoric about the press is big news and running on his sort of brand is as being an agitator against the media in general to this idea that the enemy as are the press is somehow the enemy of the people that's a phrase that really runs some alarm bells among the members of the boston globe editorial board and across newsrooms around the country. this is a marked departure from the way that any president has talked about you know his own citizens ever in this country and we thought that it bore comment ok and what why does it why why does it raise some why the alarm bells ringing at the boston globe i mean the polling the press the and the enemy of the people has that crossed the line oh it has absolutely crossed the line absolutely cr

half, i want to turn more specifically to the idea of rights and to see how the revolution changed that idea of rights and really gave rise to the idea of women's rights. know, when you look at the political, electoral process in the early republic, it doesn't appear that women were voting or holding public office, but they did have certain kinds of rights. constitution, they are counted as whole inhabitants, whole people, whereas a black people were accounted as 3/5 of the population. there's a clear distinction in understanding the body politic between the status of women and the status of enslaved people, or indians who are not counted at all. women had certain kinds of civil rights. women had the right to petition their government, and this right to petition was much more well-used and well-known in the revolutionary era and in the early republic than it is today. today, if you get an email, you're supposed to click, and you sign a petition. then people did write petitions and went door to door and signed. women used petitions as a way of appealing to their government government to

the idea they will be a labour government within five years. uld say the latter doesn't feel that surprising. it doesn't always inspire confidence, this current government. when it comes to brexit what is interesting is they identify brexit is the biggest fear but actually if you crunch it down, they say when it comes to which party they think would be best at handling brexit they still say it is the tories. jane, it is interesting because a lot of businesses were getting quite unhappy about the current government. there was the v theresa may used in her early months when she was attacking businesses, there was talk about getting workers, attacks on executive pay and how brexit has been handled. in and how brexit has been handled. in a sense, they suggest the corbyn threat is worse than if i was speaking forjeremy corbyn, if i was his spin team, i would say it isn't that bad, it is 38%. his spin team, i would say it isn't that bad, it is 3896. it could be worse. it is interesting that only one in the strongly opposed a labour nationalisation. th

the day it's about virtue. about good and evil. these other ideas about time, sleepwalking through time, inevitability and eternity. these are the things which make us laugh about good and evil, make us cynical and dismissive. if you believe in the politics of inevitability, you know not to ask about what's good. in the future there is more of that good stuff. so you don't have to ask what is good. if you believe in the politics of eternity. if you think it's a big cycle that the outsiders are always coming for you, that you're innocent and they're guilty. it is obvious that you are good and they are bad. you don't have to ask. but history makes you ask. history forces you to ask because if what you do as you say, well, i will try to understand the structures around if they move forward in time and see my own place inside the structures, then you have to ask, well, what can i do? and then you tend the question to what can i do is what should i do? one of the most impoverished things about our impoverished, sorry to say, american discussion about whe

it was on that trip that opened his eyes to the fragility of humans on this earth and the idea of change and how the landscape can move over time and humans impact on it. that is how it opened him up to see the future in any way and the explorer became one of the most profound visionaries. i took a sliver of that and ran it to my local hardware store and got them to mix up a gallon of paint that matches the crazy color that's pretty close. i used it to paint the walls of my office where i sit ever sit y and monthevery dayand months lag about powell i find myself in a soothing and something deep inside the has gone unblocked. that violent water revealed or humanness and more explicit and brilliant relief shaking off all that is extraneous to the deeply what is human. thank you. [applause] we have two microphones, one here. okay we just have one because we have c-span here. if you have questions please go to the microphone. >> that's a great exciting sto story. my question to the last two thirds of the talk covered is the stuff that is more inherently interesting to me but nevertheless i w

and i signed up for the class, and a lot of other men, and the idea behind the entrepreneurship class was you come up with a business idea, you write a comprehensive business plan behind that idea, and it had to have a tech component and a social component. and then you learned to pitch that idea and the final phase of the project, where they brought in real entrepreneurs and business leaders and also some investors, and the inmates got robert: we wanna hear about your personal experiences, but isn't it great that somebody would come in and look at the potential of the people there, as opposed to looking at the situation a lot of people do? that must have been quite uplifting just to even have somebody do tha when i was in the yard and i heard about pia, it's prison industry authorities, is joining up with a private nonprofit to do a coding program in prison, it immediately got my attention because i was, like, "i don't know nothing about technology. i want to learn about it. i see it as a good way to have a future, and getting a job." robert: it provides some hope. simon: yeah. rober

he was seventeen when he designed his tiny house he got the idea from a school homework assignment. but little thomas check wasn't satisfied with looking at the theory and leaving it at that he wanted to build the house. he started planning it in december twenty fifth. a year later he started building his house he went about it step by step learning by doing trial and error that meant a few carrots sometimes the weather didn't cooperate other times he cut the materials to wrong sizes on this left side if. you're architect keeping track of everything and at the same time the contractor watching the finances. and then you have to be your own handy man looking for solutions to all the little problems in. the house cost eleven. thousand euros to build he paid half and self the rest came from his family he's been living in the tiny house for ten months the utility goes on though he pays just forty two year as a month for electricity the insulation is would find its environmentally friendly and keeps the interior cool in summer. practice what i've found is totally practical about my house

the hoax is the idea that the trump campaign was a beneficiary of a concerted effort together with the russians to affect the 2016 election. as to that, there's no evidence publicly. but everybody who participated in the press conference thursday agreed as has the president on several public occasions that the intelligence community assessment of russian meddling in 2016 is valid. >>chris: one of the most powerful ways mr. trump can try to prevent any meddling in the 2018 election is to stand up in public and call out vladimir putin and say, knock it off. i want to go back to helsinki and to the joint summit news conference there. >> i have great confidence in my intelligent people. but, i will tell you that president putin was is cleanly strong and powerful in his denial today. >>chris: i know you say it was the first issue that president trump brought up with putin in their one-on-one meeting with one not stand there right alongside putin with the whole world watching and say, we will not stand foranymore meddling? >> as the president said, he misspoke, the subs subsequent point. he

the idea that there is a secret knowledge, of the way to do things, some powerful force wants to keep you from doing that. that is in popular culture, right? i looked through the tv listings, it is hard to find a night in tv, you might not be able to, to find a night in popular culture where one of the major shows on networks is not about exactly this. right? is not about secret groups of agents stopping underground groups, 24 agents of shield, angels and demons, x-files comes back, massive the 90s, all of these things, buffy, i was joking, i was watching downton abbey with my wife, and i realized about four episodes in, something was missing, and i said where are the vampires? how is it that we are going to go four episodes of a show, and no one has superpowers? and the kaiser is not a werewolf? how is this a show? this is what we are obsessed by. is percolating through our culture. in ways that americans are prepared to think that there is an occult underground world, and not necessarily werewolves and vampires, but hidden, that other people control.>>> this came up year ago, i try

the idea behind the constitution was that reason would have a stand to chance against passion in the arena. we were founded on that idea. but at every point from the very beginning, 1790s all the way until our conferring now, we have had this struggle. and my view is that as lincoln put it at that perilous perilous hour 600, 700 thousand americans about to die in a civil war he said that he hoped that the better angels of our nature would in fact prevail. i think. this is not a homo lytic point. it is not a fourth of july point. it's not a narcotic one. basically, our better angels have managed to continue to make us a country that people want to come to as opposed to flee. and i think that's an important thing for us to remember as we try to figure out how do we survive clearly the most unconventional presidency in our history. >> well, you say that about coming rather that fleeing. certainly some people are leaving. some under duress. others are just leaving because they can't deal with it, frankly. and the particularly sharp, pointed spear leveled at the immigrants that have made a

the thing they struggle with is the idea of a gift economy. it's easier to imagine the end of humanity than it is the end of capitalism. we have a hard time talking about it. it's a funny thing. our most authentic relationships it is thought of as of so the -- you don't really raise your kids so that they will take care of you. if you put enough diaper changes and birthday parties in sender --hd summer camp in. you get help with your incontinence and mobility problems. it's not transactional. the reactions haven't been out the authenticity to them. that are most important relations don't head. they are trying to capturey that and more and more of their relations. and since they had figured out this kind of alchemy using machines to refine usable material out of the spoiled garbage that has been dumped by our ancestors based on the corpses of microbes that had harvested sunlight for millions of years. and their version of this is all of the material it was just left lying around. they don't really had to barter. there is an idea where they have

thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we more executing innocent people is terrifying there's just no really hasn't been that we hear even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the respect they get down here is because that's what murder victims' families want that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. welcome back home the top diplomats and internationally one of india's most prominent politicians she threw has been in the news of the charges surrounding the death of his wife the full statement from his lawyers can be found on our website but we can't talk to him about an ongoing court case the former united nations under-secretary general however can talk about his new book why i am a hindu and he joins me now especially thanks for coming back on the great american in american writing covielle said the whole decline of the west can be attributed to the failure of pantheism or the loss

[laughter] which is the idea. it has to do with a lot of things but i do want to leave it to your imagination. some of it. the grand canyon, one of the earliest conquistadors when outcome a spanish conquistador came to north america and so the grand canyon and they turned away in horror and disgust. abject horror because it was a huge hole in the ground, it's awful, you know -- and up until powell looked at it, everybody else had gone out there to see it had turned away from it. powell recognized in this that there is something exceptional about this. the interesting thing about sublimity versus beauty. something that is sublime, it's beautiful like a rose just beautiful. something sublime. when you look at something with grand canyon it can take your breath away. in part because it is scary. it has all of that, what powell was able to do, the promise of all this is that he changed the grand canyon for something that was a place that nobody wanted to go to. everyone thought it was just something to look away from.

go for me that's the good idea everybody looks to be crazy it's me. it's not. so that was the biggest. even. maybe there was a business to do with. it was a nice market with a view of the pulsating heart of london. picturesque hills. of a vast beach with the sea stretching out beyond. his business partner have hoisted up their cables in over forty countries around the world the ten year anniversary feature ten tables cater to simultaneously ten michelin star ships. back. and work. most of the guests have been invited by private companies they prepare for takeoff. no reason to be afraid i was a have two more drinks and i'll be fine i feel safe i feel very stuck in here so i'm nowhere to fall out of yours. and up they go sixteen steel cables pull the seventeen gondola into the air the organizers say they haven't had a single mishap in all these years. even so olivier de frank one of the belgians find chefs is trying hard to overcome his anxiety this is his first dinner in the sky my freezer fights because normally even on the stairs have gets some afraid of height
