frustration over economic injustice i'm joined now by an editor for the daily banter and president vance or media group welcome to the show that so do you think that these days with the way the economy is going that rich people perhaps aren't as glorified as they once were yeah i think that's absolutely correct that i think right now in accordance to the sport it's so big and so. the resentment for the rich is reaching kind of proportions not for america which is difficult because that america is a country that has argued as well historically speaking so now you're saying it is in a very interesting cultural phenomenon when the rich are now. less than they were before and it's a it's a really interesting and significant shift in culture now to go along with that but the census bureau report came out recently that shows that while people are upset about is the income inequality and they're saying that fair fairness is not it is not in our economic system anymore so it does not kind of go along and go against the american ideal you know that the harder you work the more successful you can

but also from state rights conscious governors like vance in north carolina and joe brown in georgia. who believe that richmond was becoming altogether too intrusive in the lives of southern citizens. the key question here of course is, did it work? i promise you i would try to answer this question. and so i shall attack that. most historians who try to answer the question about the-- the legitimacy, the value, importance, impact of the union blockade do so by appealing to statistics. now, you have all heard the old saw, that there are liars and there are damned liars and then there are statisticians. and as we'll see in effort to answer the question by relying solely on statistics is as likely to breed scepticism about the process as to resolve the question. since numbers can be used to make very different points. for example, let me give you two facts. here is one. during the civil war, a total of 300 different steam powered vessels attempted to run the blockade. including our friend. and those steamers made anch arage of four successful trips. that twiz rou that is two per vessel.

at the end of january merrick's mitch vance quiz hired a famed greenwich lawyer whose name is mark sherman his father used to represent the mob unfortunately his dad also played guilty to tax evasion he he just didn't pay a million dollars in taxes so so he hires this kind of you know in between the gray lines attorney and they sue me and c.m.d. c. for defamation. they did something else really rare in a legal move they did something called a temporary injunction and the goal there was that mr vaz close thought he could just start me from writing anything else about him while this case which will look it will take months to litigate is moving forward they also try to get a to take his names out of the story in something called a google tag so he wouldn't come up in a search and i mean is there a way to go to the foundations of free speech to stop speech before speech has ever been decided that the speech isn't ok what it is called the harvard digital media law center they jumped right in immediately they were wonderful it did take about two weeks but they found me as a top lawyer pro bono

advances the women have made in terms of not having to be financially dependent on men anymore but i vance's in science. can there be a world without men if you don't know reason of sperm or something. yeah well you know there's a little hyperbole in that but i do think it worries people like rick santorum when the new york times publishes an article talking about the y. chromosome in its fragility there are some scientific researchers who are actually suggesting that the y. chromosome could die out at some point now there are a lot of scientists who jump if that's going to happen any time soon so you know men probably should be worried but it's that kind of you know that's fundamental a feeling that they aren't even possibly necessary for the propagation of the human race that strikes very deeply in the hearts of these conservative men many of whom rely on religious authority to make their arguments you know they have they promote it in the catholic church the belief that women are not even entitle to use contraception and contraception of course is necessary for women to participate in the
