c-span: and then thomas wolfe, where'd he write this? >> guest: he was writing "look homeward, angel." that's fiction, but i asked a number of people, and they the subscription of his -- description of his brother's death was not fictionalized. it was really what happened when his brother died of flu. c-span: would you mind reading this in here, and tell us why you put it in the book. >> guest: okay. should i tell you why first? c-span: yeah. >> guest: okay. i think when i talk about the flu or when people who are living today talk about the flu, it's almost impossible for us to imagine what it was like. i tried as much as i could to put the words in of people who had been there, because when you've been there and seen is it, it has a sort of a, an emotion that we can't -- i can't capture, and i don't think anybody else that i've spoken to have been able to capture. so the reason i put the thomas wolfe description in was that of all the descriptions i had read about people dying of the flu, this one really touched he. it was -- it almost

he will not retry since nearly every ramos and he will not go after joe wolf who had also been charged in the killing of kelly thomas. that was our to correspondent remember leno in los angeles i according to the defense department's own estimates the u.s. has nine hundred military bases that sprawl across one hundred fifty three countries many of these bases are the result of strategic international agreements others are run in the past conflicts but let's face it but the ebb and flow of u.s. wars for occupation american bases hardly ever ever shut down and closed for business in fact the u.s. still has expansive outposts in korea germany and japan some countries have one some have three but specifically on the japanese island of okinawa there are at least thirty two u.s. military bases occupying twenty percent of the island now if you don't think thirty plus military bases on the land mass roughly the size of long island is enough worry not because plans for yet another big. currently underway well a group of twenty nine artists academics and peace activists have now come together to issue a statement of condemnat

for the oscar like oprah w oprah winfrey and forest whitaker, and emma thomas, and james agagandolfini, and you sa some films like "wolf of wall street" and "others that should have been recognized. >> and why the difference? >> well, the oscars took place when some of the movies had come out, and they had not picked up the momentum and the steam when people were voting on the s.a.g. nominations. >> thank you, dave, and great to have you here. >> my pleasure. thank you have much. >> and back to nischelle. >> i am here with my friends from "downton abbey" and there is a whole big of you. >> a big cast. >> and you are up for the best ensemble cast for the series and you are in the fourth season now, and i'm a big fan and i want you to know, they have issues with what is going on right now. >> what are the issues? >> and nothing with me, is it? >> no, i want lady edith to run and not come back, because she is not going to have things turn out well with the fellow she is with. >> and you are a little bit behind so we don't dare say anything, because we will be doing spoilers. >> well, don't spoil it, but my dvr needs to ca

thomas, terps extend their lead to four points. terps led at the break, but the cavaliers went on an 11-0 run to start the 2nd half. kelsey wolfe had 24 on the day. the terps did get back within two points, but they couldn't regain the lead. cavaliers upset maryland 86-72 snapping their 14-game win streak. >>> a big honor for a former lady terp. laura harper has been named an acc legend. harper led maryland to the national championship her sophomore year and was named the final four outstanding player. she holds a school record for blocks at 198. harper will be honored at the acc championship game in march. >>> time to announce the winner of our game of the week poll with almost 16,000 votes. you all chose st. johns at elizabeth seton girls basketball. we'll highlight that game for you tomorrow night at 11:00. thank you for voting. >>> going back to the super bowl. super cold, we all know it's going to be, right? >> nor than likely february in new york, safe bet. >> the coldest super bowl on record is in new orleans. >> it was super bowl vi at 39 degrees. >> we'll beat that for >>> that's it for us tonight. thanks for staying u

thomas perez. mr. secretary, thanks very much for coming in. >> oh, it's a pleasure to be with you, wolf. >> do you have the votes in the senate and the house to pass this legislation? >> oh, i'm very optimistic that we can move forward, and i'm optimistic in part because there's been a long and proud bipartisan history of passing emergency unemployment compensation when we have financial circumstances and economic circumstances like we have now. the long-term unemployment rate is -- remains at a historic high, notwithstanding the progress that we have made in growing the economy. and it would quite literally be unprecedented for congress to fail to act when the long-term unemployment rate is as high as it is now. and so i was heartened by what happened today in the senate. obviously, a lot more work to do. we will continue to work this issue hard and we'll work it hard because people are suffering through no fault of their own. people like kathryn hackette who introduced the president today, who, you know, the mother -- single mother of two folks who -- two boys who are in the military. she is -- she l

thomas roberts. and now it's the host of "up against the clock", steve kornacki. >> thank you, bill wolf. back in the plaid jacket. we have a fresh batch of players with us today. blake actually trying to psych out eleanor. i don't know if you can see this at home with his t-shirt at home featuring eleanor cliff. a psychological tactic there. and thomas who got up earlier for us this morning and on monday he'll be getting up early on monday. you can catch him at 5:30 here on msnbc. a little plug for you right there thomas. >> thank you, sir. >> moving right along, you're all familiar with the rules right now. three rounds of play, 100 seconds. questions will get harder as we go along. you will be penalized for wrong answers. there are some instant bonuses that are scattered throughout these bonuses. i will remind our life studio audience, please remind absolutely silent during these rounds. i will ask you, are you ready? >> yes. >> we'll put 100 seconds on the clock. 100-point round begins with this. these two celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary this week, the longest marriage -- th

wolf. we saw i believe six of them come in. but the conservative bloc, alito, scalia and thomas are not in attendance. interesting because we have seen alito at previous state of the unions in fact there was that famous moment where the president was criticizing a supreme court decision during one of his joint addresses to congress and alito was seen shall we say disagreeing with what the president was saying. alito choosing not to attend this evening. >> it's interesting. once the cabinet is inside and they're all near their seats, then paul irving, the house sergeant at arms, he will announce those very, very powerful, familiar words, "mr. speaker, the president of the united states." and of course the president will walk in to strong applause. and what we're going to do, jake, i want to make sure we have a microphone in there. i want to hear what some of these members, some of these senators, congressmen, say to the president as he's walking in it's always interesting to hear some of the exchanges. and we'll presumably be able to do that as well. so the cabinet secretaries are taking their time wal
