thomas: new york.: you were starting your own company, but what expertise did you have to start your own company in the business world? thomas: i had no expertise. there was really no reason to give me any backing. fortunately, my first foray was in silver in 1993. the zeitgeist was silver was going to go down to two dollars because digital film would supplant silver halide. i believe people got the analysis wrong and silver had a better chance of going back to $50. i put my money on silver options and silver went from $3.50 to $5.50 in short order and i made enough money to decide i didn't want to do that anymore, but i would take all of that money and put that on buying an option in silver property. david: where did you get the money to buy the options? thomas: i started with $10,000. i had a little bit of savings. turned that into hundreds of thousands of dollars and then put the money on a property in idaho. and i realized around that time that we didn't have much competition. so i took whatever mo

thomas keneally, welcome to hardtalk. thank you, zeinab. have written about a huge range of topics — the american civil war, australia, of course, the first world war, joan of arc, napoleon... how do you go about choosing a subject for a book? well, it's generally some weird connection with australia that begins me, in that i heard that there was a family on saint helena who knew napoleon, and then they got so close to napoleon that they fell out of favour and were sent where the british sent everyone unsatisfactory in the 19th century, to australia. and so i love those connections between the old world because i was raised in an australia that considered itself to be out of the world, the sort of, the last thing before the penguins of antarctica. so you start with your home country and then link to the rest of the world. all right. you are very drawn to moral dilemmas and in fact in your youth you trained to become a priest, and then you say a loss of faith made you change your mind. however, has religion, morality — how has it influenced

the thomas opinion seems extreme. i also think all of them know that if there were, for example, a liberal majority now, merrick garland on the court and there were five liberals, they would be in the process of overturning the death penalty and the conservatives would say we've been upholding capital punishment for 20 0 years. how could you go back on that? they'd say we have a new understanding of how the death penalty system works and can you imagine? this is a hard hypothetical to create, but suppose five years out there's a liberal majority, and there's a bunch of bad partisan gerrymanderers around the country and the issue comes up to the supreme court and says you ought to defend the right to fair and equal vote. >> i'll argue that case, i promise. >> they would immediately overturn yesterday's ruling because they thought it was dead wrong. >> they've got a standard. >> yes. >> i guess i think that you know, as tony said, precedent is a good talking point. they've got to give some deference to precedent. it's p

in a way, took thomas pain to push us over that conceptual edge. >> yes. i think a that got so many americans with this idea was this long train of abuse that occurred under the reign of king george the third period unequal tax treatment for example, the creation of the de facto type monopoly of trade in america. the fact that generally was restraint. i told a story of a young man who was a captain of the ship, a trade school and he was arrested in the caribbean because at the time, he had an active legislation that made it very difficult for americans to trade with the colonies of other countries. this sort of unequal treatment of american colonial subjects of the crown caused the market people to see and have a receptiveness to what thomas pain was writing. we're not being treated very well. one of the things paine said soe well, why is it we should continually defer to this man nearly because of his parenting? because of who his father was. why should we do that? is a question at the time, one that sparked revolution and enabled it to succeed. >> thomas
