this time, i started with a bit of a base that i did not have less time. it has allowed me to spend some time in other states as well. rekindling mild support, generating support from folks that do not know who i am. i do also think that one of the things that changed in this cycle is the importance of debates. the audience for the debate is much larger than last time around. i do not know why. last time, with three giuliani, fred thompson the movie star -- [laughter] tv personality. tv star. he was famous. these guys, john mccain, a famous. i was 1%, 2% in the poll last time. i had to allow with shoe leather and get known. -- go out with shoe leather and yet known. hopefully, i can get support here and down the road. >> when we think about personality, we think about donald trump. tell us why you decided not to participate in that debate. >> well, in the month of september, i had requests for six, eight debates. we all met and compared schedules. we could do two to keep up with fund-raising and campaigning. we picked two debates. well after we announced t

that have swept through much of the globe this year and we'll see what binds and what divides that time magazine has named of the protester as their person of the year but can the media actually differentiate what each country is protesting scott horton is going to join us for that then human rights groups are launching a broad campaign to bring legal challenges to the u.s. use of drones and speak to clive stafford smith one of the men leading this charge and show you some very devastating pictures from pakistan the normally unseen results of striking from afar then president obama continued his iraq victory tour by speaking at fort bragg today and telling the troops welcome home or just because john soltz who just returned from iraq will ask him what kind of a country he thinks we've left behind are not all that morphine and i could have a dose of happy hour but first take a look at the mainstream media has decided to miss. all right so as i just mentioned time magazine which nobody really reads in a war except for when they come out with this one issue finally said who their person of

been working on for a long time.onder if you sense you're going to get an influx of people who have never done it before who are going to start doing it. do you wonder people about doing it right or jeopardizing the work you've done already? >> i'm not worried about jeopardizing the work. we do think it has to be done right. i think there are several issues which inside of the movement we need to properly delineate. for example, taking over a home, vacant home or doing an eviction defense, that's primarily for public space use. like if you want to have meetings there or open space meetings there. that is different than like happened in many of the occupies, for example, whether it is an open field or in a home, it is different than protecting someone's home, protecting human beings and their right to live somewhere. so there is a difference between the two. we just need to understand the difference and move accordingly. >> max rameau, co-founder of take back the land. i want to have a longer conversation with you abo

palmer was the attorney general at the time. one important point is he a science who for this special mission, and they draft a report that is released to congress in the fall of that year and has this huge long rant about the anarchists. we've got to get rid of these people. they need to be deported to look at this crazy stuff they are writing. that's basically the majority of the document. then there's this huge part at the end that is tacked on, so they start i bought black publication. look at all these radical black publications, radical writing. and if you read those, read the quote that they listed, every stretch of the imagination they would be considered benign. things like shoot back if you're being shot at. that's radical. and that was really, it's sort of bizarre attack on, disjointed from the flow of this legal argument and it is just sort of there. that's sort of been my view of how the federal government was approaching a lack of political activism at the time. they didn't know what to make of it. must be somethin

because i'll reach the masses one time, and you only have to do it one time. like people who take pictures. hey, mr. carlos, can you put your fists up? i don't do that no more. why not? you put yours up, and i'll point to it. [laughter] and you know why i point to it? i point to it to illustrate that the baton has been passed. right? [applause] >> and that's -- >> i'm going to put my fists up -- [inaudible] >> right on, right on! [applause] all right. i love that. >> yeah. feel free to raise your fist at any point this evening. [laughter] >> all right. >> [inaudible] didn't get to the same line that you had before. people would say thicks to you -- things to you, and i actually know this for a fact because i'm from new york, and that particular area and brothers that are about 22, 23 years older than me, and they told me about you, tommie, and i know that the things weren't exactly the same. how do you move on? because all of us have situations where we have things happen to us, and then we hold on to those things. so you're not really bitter, you -- >> well,

you get that all the time. so what do you say as you reach these agreements, push our borders and the united states way of doing things out into countries which have different traditions and values perhaps? is big sister watching? >> i think big sis is my moniker in the drudge report -- [laughter] so i knew i actually made it when i had my own name in the drudge report. yeah, that's a standard. [laughter] the pnr agreement is a good example of this. the pnr agreement, actually, will be with the e.u., which means we've had to negotiate with the commission, we've now finished an agreement and initialed it. we anticipate it to be approved by the council next week on the 13th, and then we will have to go and have it ratified by the european parliament. we have been the lead negotiator for the u.s. on this agreement, and one of the key sticking points has been data privacy protection which is one of the fundamental rights in the charter of rights in the e.u.. you know, there, you know, one of the key things we've ha

it has a light time. a start and an end. it's time to end. >> but with 4.7 billion sockets in the u.s. alone, the future looks brighter than ever. >> earlier this month, republicans in congress managed to eliminate all funding, which was signed in 2007 by then president bush. >> all right. we are kind of excited about this weekend we have coming. not just because it's new year's eve, but because the weather looks gorgeous. >> timing of the mild weather is perfect, because everyone will be out doing parties, cleaning up the holiday decorations outside their homes and we are looking at mild conditions through your new year's weekend. then the big changes come this way in the form of really cold arctic air. but enjoy the weekend. all right, here's a look at your satellite and radar picture. area of low pressure out to the northwest and the great lakes region. because of this, we have a slight chance for some passing showers really late tonight and early tomorrow morning. now right now, temperatures 50 in downtown and arlington.

i had summer break from teaching and i just sat down from the time it was morning to the time it was cocktail hour. i always say this because cocktail hour got earlier everyday because it was so hard to write this book when i had to write it in a certain period of time like that. what i had done finally, in the end, when it's done i thought it was the perfect situation. i had to be in that situation to write this particular book because that was the situation that the character steven was in. he was in a place he didn't want to be. he was far from people he wanted to be close to. he was not in his territory. that's how i felt writing by myself, far from home, not wanting to do it everyday from the time i got up to the time i got drunk but i did. and the second half was written all in a month. and it worked for this book. i can't say it might work for every other book it probably wouldn't work for any other book. i started this book in third person and thought for sure as a young man's voice in first person. i went in third person and i was 5 pages in and said, this doesn't sound righ

c-span: toole time. what is toole time and is that your name for it? >> guest: tool time. don't know if i'm going to get sued for this but i definitely watch -- what was the show with tim allen when i was a kid. i totally forgot about it now but they had a fake show called tool time, he and his partner, and so that name just kind of on the bell. we were trying to think of a segment that we could brand that we knew we could do every single day because there's always going to be someone new to make fun of because of the gaffe they made or the stance they took that was completely hypocritical. and so tool time has become the treasured favorite i think of "the alyona show" because it is really a moment we get to have fun and there's a lot of people out there that stick their foot in their mouth and thanks to the fact that everything is recorded these days you can always find a good clip of it, too. c-span: helmke niquette? >> guest: how long is the tool time segment of the show? and ferries that may be between two and a half to four minutes every day. c-span: you're is a minut
