it was incongr uos. it was just so -- it was like, what in the hell are we doing here? you know, this is a farewell -- this is the first time in the history of the country -- hopefully the last -- when a president of the united states has been forced to resign in a scandal. and then president nixon came in with his wife pat and the family and of course gave this speech that was -- that went back to his mother. it was a speech in which he talked a great deal about handling nixon but he never talked about his wife. it was clear that that childhood relationship had been so important. had been that positive force in his life when he really didn't have a father and had a really terrible relationship with his father and lost two brothers to tuberculosis. it again brought back the sense i had of nixon's vulnerability as a human being even though he had all the great power and in the end he said i'm not saying good-bye. he said i'm saying i'll see you again. then we went out to watch the helicopter pull away. it was a very shakespearian tragedy. it was this man with this enormo

he was a really loveable guy. >> it was interesting too when mike was first hired, he was hired in 19623 b3 by dixon. >> rose: wasn't there a story that the president of cbs news looking for a job and was about to go accept a job somewhere in local news as an anchor and he said if you're that serious come to work for us. >> precisely. he actually charmed solant into hiring him. he wasn't crazy about the idea because of mike's previous jobs. >> this was after his son peter was killed and died. >> yes. in 63. the other correspondence corress there was charles coinberg, and borrow debtborrowborroburdett -. >> radio guys. >> radio and they were just making the transition. they would say mike, they thought he was crass and brassy. they took the same attitude by the way to walter cronkite because he was merely a wire service guy. i think with mike, there was no way mike wasn't going to whip these guys. he was determined -- >> rose: to get the story. >> to get the story. to get the attention. and sure enough he did. and i must say that ultimately few of those guys anyway, really respected him.

, everybody was partying it was at night, it was fun. >> greta: one of those other men was 22-year-oldwatson. he picked up hitchhiking dennis wilson and sunset boulevard. when the beach boy invited him into his mansion. watson came face-to-face with manson. >> if he didn't have the long hair and rough look you could confuse him as -- from texas, he an a tphafrpblg high school, football, basketball and track star. >> one of the sweetest guys i've ever met. he was a sweet heart loved to smoke weed was always out for a good time. >> greta: for the family, life with the beach boy was good. but they were beginning to wear out their welcome. >> plan son -- manson was always hitting wilson up for money. they appropriated his wardrobe. did a lot of damage to the house. the highest gonorrhea bill in beverly hills history. >> it was a continual party and dennis was paying for everything. charlie and the girls would stay there, they didn't lee. it was getting old for dennis he to get out of there. >> greta: hear how -- [ inaudible ] there he is, poised to discover plum amazins, the amazing altern

i was also speaking social society, which was what was going on in society. me, to my grandmother, i was like feeling. too close to say something indefinitely. yes, why did i do the men like that? because i work around it sex. i saw that what was showing, it was the men in this world where the woman was strong. then have to be equal of the men. and i wanted to show it. there was some interest in like a blazer, a jacket, double- breasted. you have the men's jacket with the inside pocket. it is a pocket for the wallet. the women did not have that. why? because the men pay at the restaurant. but can the woman they, too? i think there was a lot of stupid things -- not stupid, but the things that were intelligent but one time that changed and was changing. and the vision of the woman about the man was changing, too. some men were not accepting their femininity. does not mean that they were gay or whatever, no. it just means that men can be sensible, but they have been traumatized by their education that wanted to make them as a john wayne, you know? apparently. it

so he was there, he was at landing zone falcon. he came if towards the end i believe of albany, but everything was over at that point. really he was there for the entirety of the campaign. >> do you remember based on what your mother has said and based on what you've read how he remembered that that whole campaign and significance of the campaign? >> he understood the significance of the new air mobile concept. and i think that he also understood that what they did during that battle was really going to change the face of warfare to a great degree. he always talked to me even before i could really understand and relate it to the rest of this about how -- in gore ril that oig warfare. and had got that early organization you couldn't fight a conventional war and he thought that's what this campaign proved, that you had to take to them where they were and your conventional war was just not going to work in vietnam. >> did he ever talk with then lieutenant colonel moore? >> oh, yeah. >> tell me about that conversation -- those conversa

the dance was a phony. what they did was speed of the film. he was just walking. they speeded up the film to make it look as if he was demented and doing this dance in front of the railway car. the car, of course, was soon moved back to france in 1945. >> thank you. i think we have probably finished what we had to do. i appreciate you all coming. >> afghanistan will hold elections in 2014. today a discussion on the political transition and the upcoming u.s. withdrawal from the country. we'll hear from the state department's special representative to afghanistan, mark grossman, and former national security adviser, stephen hadley. live congress coverage starts at 10:30 a.m. eastern on c-span. and at 9:30 eastern here on c-span2, a forum on the health of the u.s. housing market. the discussion includes edward demarco. watch live coverage there the brookings institution. >> next on c-span2's booktv, "fdr goes to war: how expanded executive power, spiraling national debt and restricted civil liberties shaped wartime america." burt and anita follow into smoke -- follow

he was gentle. he was kind. he was smart. he was revolutionary in music. for example, even as he aged, most people get older. you and i -- not saying you're old -- we could not name the billboard top ten. >> right. but he could. >> he could have named it probably yesterday. >> let me bring in connie francis. you've appeared on many top tens in your years. you've known him since you were 19 years old. what was dick's importance to you and your career and life? >> well, there would have been no career without dick clark. so he impacted my life greatly. i would have probably been a doctor, would have been a different -- for a different life. but the interesting thing, piers, that i did not discuss with the woman i discussed the show with this afternoon was the last two weeks of dick's life and where his head was during that period of time. how little the acquisition of money had become to him. because he was worth well over $1 billion. it really was how my desire to help veterans, wanted it to become his desire, too. and finally he was going to join with me i

i think it was good to go in, because my life was not with ermez. it was for my own company. so we changed. we pushed. spanish rudes, perfume routes. sounds very good to my ears. i am a quite truthful person >. >> is there always going to be a controversial side of jean paul gaultier? there was a time when you were inspired by rabbis. i believe you're in new york, there were a bunch of rabbis he saw walking by the public library, you turned it into a collection. you must have known this was dramatic and would be alarming to people. >> i should say that in some way, i think i have a kind of innocence. like that is not that big part of me. when it is beautiful, i believe in it. i saw it was beautiful. i wanted to show it. for me, it was so strong, the impression. it was beautiful. and with a lot of meaning for me. it was meaning for people like a minority can come together strong and impact. at the same time, visually and spiritually. i wanted to show that beauty. after my time there, michael was to show the beauty seinfield. -- my goal was to show the beauty i felt. i should m

and it was -- and we got -- he was a very -- bernie was a -- bennie was a very thoughtful man. he wanted to make sure that you were the person to tell his story. at first he was a bit standoffish with me. then he decided that i was the person to tell the story and he became very cooperative. >> how old was he when you first met tw hwith him? >> in his 80s. but in excellent health. excellent health. with all of his mental faculties fully intact, mentally acute. i said, general, i've got to have your entire military record, the whole thing, the very beginning, from 1932 when you joined the army air corps good or bad. and he didn't have that. i said, you got to submit it, you've got to ask for it i need it. fine. and he did. and he withheld nothing, and he asked all the people that worked for him that were still with us to talk to me, tell me the truth and they, of course, led to others. and i was racing the grim reaper because these were older men and they were in their twilight years, so i had to really work fast and hard to get -- i did 120 interviews to get the interviews i ne

he was there. where did that paragraph come from? >> well, as you know, when presidents give the speeches all of the words come from the president's so it was bill clinton's speech, and it was -- he said if you'll recall in that speech that we should remember the whole of richard nixon and not just for his flaw, but we should remember the whole of the man. it was something he and i talked about on the plane on the way out, and i was very pleased that he took that view. i thought that was generous and compassionate healing and perspective, and i thought it was the right perspective. when with you're a president as i learned from nixon and others you're a president of all of the people and you're not a president of your party and you're the president of a large contingency and dynamic and squabbling country, but it was important to be healing and to let nixon -- let him be in pe e peace. i will also tell you a footnote from that. i was back as -- as you can imagine, at this -- at this outdoor ceremon

i was not acting, but at least that was honest about it. tavis: since you referenced your faith, and since spacey made the joke it wasn't kosher, let me follow with this question. i talked with friends over the years that happen to be jewish. i know something about this because i am african-american and i know how i feel when watching the news and they see a story about to come up after the break for the rtc a story about somebody that did something heinous in los angeles. i'm hoping it's not a black kid or black man. i get tired of that collective guilt because one of ours has done something we are not so proud of. i am not justifying it, i just love my people so much and i have to take the dog. i wonder whether or not there is any guilt that you have felt over letting your people down. you are an embarrassment to jews and given what you did in washington, bernie madoff is an embarrassment to jews. >> you hit it on the head. it is a constant feeling that i can't do anything about. you can't un-ring the bell. my image that i built and other

it was in good faith. it was an accident. we pulled all the proper permits. >> ok. >> whoever wants to go first. >> thank you. we received the plans today. unfortunately, i did note to issues. in relation to the section 311 notification. it does appear that the deck notice. it does not trigger a fire wall. >> does not exceed 10 feet? what is the other one? >> the firewall. there is no fire wall that is higher than 10 feet. that does appear to be code compliant. the shed roof they had at the back. it was demolished and rebuilt. it was built to the maximum. they are not subject to section 311 notification, but the change in the anklgle would technically trigger the 311 notice. the bay window does not comply with planning code requirements. it is a very large bay window. it seems to exceed the planning code requirements. it is also difficult to discern between the two sets of plans. where the front property line is. it appears the building may have a setback, but the plans did not show a setback. the adjacent building has a setb

everything that was wrong, we were taught was right. everything that was really evil and wicked and perverted was done in the name of jesus. it really does [ muted ] your head up. >> two months after rick rodriguez recorded his video, friends are holding his memorial. like rick, many of them were raised in a bizarre christian sect who practiced free love. >> we're here to say good-bye to a friend that we had, somebody who need not have passed the way that he did. >> like rick, many of the mourners say they were abused in the cult. originally called the children of god, it followed a radical, religious and sexual philosophy they named "the law of love." >> i want to show how many people that loved ricky, how many lives that he touched. >> the law of love, they could do anything that they wanted, really, as long as they did it out of love, you know. so they used that a lot for a lot of things, you know? for the sharing, you know, for the swapping of couples. so basically that was the only law that they lived under. because they certainly

because the chauffeur was replaced by a really good you know you wolf it was he who was bold enough to say what many were afraid to at a reception held by the commander of the air force. two from the new world gregory knew you both stood up and said comrie chief marshal we have an impression that they do not prepare us for space flight but struthers obsessed what we can survive . to come on to a place it's a responsible person and said that they had selected stows people from three thousand pilots not for one single flights and that they would need them in the the future. he ordered a review of the training program to be less of a strain on their health. here you can see the needs of space exploration the youngest and the strongest man . theory occupation was top secret. and we asked people if they could recognize any of them in the picture and they would not everything about them with classify it. this is a museum in the city of garrick devoted to the first space flight the famous cosmonauts home city here you can see the training simulators the first squad actually used this rotating

curtis was exhilarated at the success of what was his first independent command. he was no spring chicken. he was in his late 50s by now. it had been a long time since west point. and now at last he was gaining the military recognition, the glory, if you will, that he had always dreamed of. and the last thing he wanted to do was simply say -- good enough. turn around. and return to missouri. when curtis learned that price and mcculluck were no longer in front of him but, in fact, had retreated south into the distant boston mountains. curtis paused to consider the altered strategic situation. he now faced the two largest rebel armies west of the mississippi river. these were the same armies remember that had combined the previous august to overwhelm the smaller union army at wilson's creek. natural attrition and necessity of garrisoning springfield and other locations had shrunk curtis' army down to around 10,000 men. and then there was the very disturbing matter of logistics. the isolated union army now, in benton county, arkansas, was 200 miles south of its suppl

the top bracket was 91% and was in 1953 and was in 1961 when he left. so his principal preoccupation was with foreign affairs and the cold war. while his party would love to have seen him do more about dismantling the new deal, he never evidenced much enthusiasm. >> the 91% was at the top level. >> $400,000. >> it was a lot of money. >> but it's a very impressive structure. so you're right that not many people were paying taxes of 91%. although eisenhower wrote his biography was the first mr for saving europe in theory could have paid him that although he worked at a deal that my fellow panelists will appreciate. as far as i know, no other book author has gotten. he got the irs to sign up on the notion that if you find the book to his publisher that is her six-month study claimed it as a capital gain rather than income. [laughter] >> again -- >> is there a website? >> it helped in world war ii. >> to put on one of your modern times. is the new deal over? should it be over? is there too much? >> who said it is still the framework? i've been wrong about t

was at.was on the phone. >> vanessa says she remembers going out to buy milk for their newborn that morning. >> i came back from the store and he walked in and hes with on the phone. >> you physically saw him holding the phone. >> yes. >> but in his closing statement, the prosecutor argued they were all lying and that it was actually vanessa who was on the phone with maria. >> did you ever get on the phone with her that day? >> no. >> when the d.a. said that i'm just a mother who would do anything to save my son, that felt like a rock had hit my chest and blew the wind out of me because i told the truth. i told the truth. >> the jury was sequestered for three days. >> three days? obviously they're doubting something. what takes so long? >> juror number 6 remembers most of the testimony centered on the girlfriend's testimony. >> it seemed like it was skri d scripted. that's the perfect word. every time she said something, it sounded like it was further from the truth and she was covering one l

>> was weather a factor? i heard about the tornado or hurricane. >> weather was not a particular factor. the british occupation of washington. there were two nasty storms that hit during the night. some contemporaries call them tornados that may be an overstatement. they were bad enough that one collapse and killed a number of soldiers inside. now, during the british bombardment of fort henry, it was a stormy night, but that didn't have an impact on the out come of that bombardment. >> you can tell us about the pirate? . >> part of that mythology is he played a crucial role. he and his brother headed a band of pirates and preyed on commerce in and around the mouth of the mississippi river. as many as 1,000 people in the band of pirates and they prayed on everyone's commerce. they sold their merchandise in new orleans for a good price. new orleans merchants thought they were good guys. they were making money off of them. the navy destroyed their base in september of 1814. shortly there after the british approa

he was a devout church goer and was was garrison. he knows the bible very well and so was david walker. he is an active member of the methodist church and he is also sympathetic to working class black people in boston and he is also willing to help fugitive slaves and fugitive slaves showed up at his house and walker would help them. the he wrote a book, appeal to the colored citizens of the world. appeal to the colored citizens of the world. this is when the world colored was still used commonly by black people. it didn't have the negative connotation it has today. in this book walker calls on black people to assist and lead the black community. he believed in the american work ethic. he believes in individual ambition. he believes in protestant values, and he says that black people have to work hard to better themselves and to better the black community. he also denounss slavery. he said that it was a crime. he said that it went way back in history. he knew quite a lot about history, all the way back to ancient egypt. he criticized

what we decided up there was that the tape was fatal. and that what we should do is go back to the white house and proceed to drop the tape. when the tape hit, the support that still existed for the president, which was considerable in the senate, frankly, the bottom would drop out and then our friends and out our allies and the president's supporters would see that it was not survivable. so it was not some kind of staff pushing the president out or pushing him to do something. you just drop something and it was like something fatal that hit and everybody knew that. as ray has written in the "new york times," i believe it was, the -- barry goldwater and hugh scott and i think congressman rhodes came over to the white house, and they were on the lawn. i guess it was wednesday of that week. the mythology is that they went in and talked the president into resigning. but that is nonsense because ray price was already working on the resignation speech when they came to the white house. >> yeah, it was, yeah, yeah. but it was a secret from the

that was the kind of commander quanah was. he was quite brilliant and obviously escape to fight another day. he would not surrender until he led the last of the starving comanches into the reservation in 1875 after almost every single one of their food sources, all the buffalo had been killed. that is all wanted to say tonight. i would be happy -- do we have time for questions? sorry? this mike. i would be happy to answer questions. of any kind. [inaudible] >> that was her cousin rachel parker plummer. >> you have access? >> rachel -- this is one of the great things you have at your disposal as the historian is rachel plummer's diary. an unbelievable account. very few captives. she was taken for many months on to the plain s. it is rather extraordinary. i also held the original one. i don't know how many libraries are around here but in texas the rare book collections will have it. i am just saying i don't know if i can get it in most libraries but the rare book collections. >> your descriptions of the comanches's ability to f

shirley asks was he as kind off set as he was on set?he was the same man on camera as he was off camera. he was just a warm and beautiful man. >> i think that's one of the things that kimberly came across on the screen, if viewers really didn't know who he was in person, but he came off as sort of the every man that was just very likable, a person you wanted in your home. >> what you see is what you get, what you see is it for dick, he's a real, real, real good man. and i'm not just saying that because he's passed away, i hate that he's passed away but he is a good man that loved people and he shows his love and his joy to you. the last date i did with him- - him- ---i played for the party. >> that must have been quite some party. little richard, aretha franklin, thank you so much for talking with us tonight, i know you got to go. >> richard it sounds like you paid for the party. >> i been screaming, aretha. >> okay. >> all right, have a good night. >> nice hearing you, baby, i love you, god bless you. >> thank you so much anderson, it's

james was its first steward and was highly regarded. but that version of the club only lasted a few years. during the next year that building was operated as a hotel, but, by april of 1869, and not 1971 -- 1871, as almost universally asserted, james had taken over the building and opened the next major phase in the evolution of the wormley hotel business. in his new and larger facilities, james had greatly expanded his capacity with 150 rooms, dining rooms, barber shop celebrated liquor stores and universally regarded hospitality, his establishment had become even more the center of political and social life of washington. it housed members of congress in absolute comfort, as well as served as the home of several foreign ligations. its proximity to la fayette square made it the residence of choice for the elegant and wealthy members of society and government. during this same time, james' sons were actively combatting the long established discriminatory practices in commerce around the district. one of them was ejected from the dress ci

the first was the man who actually built the ship he was the mayor of belfast and was the most honored irishman. to his cousin as was common in those days a giant of a ship builder control the largest shipbuilding operation in the british empire and he was the man behind the curtain in the story of the wizard of oz. he was controlling every one. at that time the traffic across the north atlantic was incredible. the immigration rush was on. about 2 million people a year were crossing the ocean and there was a jolt going on because the ship building is a fragile industry and they built ships when business is good and they built too many and business was bad kind of like what just happened in our own economy they negotiate the deal with jpmorgan to sell the store line of which he was a shareholder and convince the president of the white star line that this was a good idea. this is the reprehensible character when they left titanic she was the one with a mustache and got into the last lifeboat leaving the ship. the son of the founder of light star, he was often mistaken for arrogance that

she was from oxford, massachusetts, and he was -- attended yale and was -- had a law degree and worked over at the patent office as a clerk. now, he's very interesting for my medical museum from the standpoint that after the war he got a job with the surgeon general's office and was one of the clerks who helped in establishing the u.s. army medical museum which is now called the national museum of health and medicine, and that is also nearby. it used to be on the mall. that was the first time that the u.s. government actually collected specimens for studies so that they could learn as much as possible about the medical aspects and innovations from the civil war and how to treat soldiers better the next time they needed that kind of assistance. the general services administration has $1.5 million to use for the conservation and restoration project on both the first floor and the third floor. my museum is trying to raise about $5.5 million to finish doing what gsa or the general services administration doesn't have funding for to really finish out the place, and then,

if ever there was a vision of, if ever there was a glimpse into the apocalypse, that was it. encourage was just a kid from indianapolis, 21 q-quebec 22 years old when he saw this. i think it left him haunted. i had the impression when i was talking to train for that there is always something going on to his mind. something he was for her senior going over again and his children and nephew told me to picture him three like a haunted person. if a set of people to press the thick of the same episodes in their mind again and again, hoping for a different outcome, hoping they might do something differently. they talk to kurt santana seemed like he was only missing with one year and in fact his mind to think that some in the completely preoccupied and any other melancholy air about him. he knew he had a great book to read about. he had seen something really monumental can do something disastrous and thought he could write about it. maybe it could be his thin red line or from here to eternity with the young lion. but there is a problem with what he did not see addressed. kurt saw th

and he was just -- he was like in stalin's era. he was cut out of the picture. from that point on. so there was -- i mean, what's so interesting about it is davis is so decisive about this in january of 1864. by november of 1864, it's clear he's already considering it. he gets up in his annual message to the congress in november, he makes it clear that if we need slave soldiers, i will be willing to do it. and he actually says to the confederate congress and the confederate people that the status of slaves simply as property can no longer be sustained, that they have to be understood as persons in relation to the state and it's, i think, an incredibly momentous event to try to trace out how you get from 1860, from his resignation speech in the senate to that. that was kind of what i was -- that's the architecture of the transformation i was interested in. >> okay. well, thank you for your questions. and thank you, stephanie, for your wonderful talk. >>> this week on "the civil war" life in the lorng white house. lincoln white house. >> this week on the civil war, author and archite

it was silent on the hours. it was the 2005. i did not know there was a 1997. >> when you sat in on the hearing for the 2005 entertainment commission permanent, -- permits, the presentation must have reference to something. >> it did reference -- it did not reference anything else at all. >> thank you. >> thank you. just a brief recap on the timing. in december 1996, we received a referral from the police department. in 1997, we approved conditional use. la bodega did operate for several years. in 2005, the bar was added to the restaurant. they went through the process for that. then we have a change of use. we gave our referral back to introduce its commission dated in november of that year, 2005. then we have a referral for another change of use this last year to tupelo. we gave our response back in august stating that there were these conditions of approval. we informed the entertainment commission of those requirements. i did want to address a couple of points. this is not about the character of the operator. i want to make

it was fun. i did not start riding -- i was a creative kid in school. i was married young. by 25, i had two babies. i did not really write this story for the babies, to set this straight. they were little. in those days, you stay home with your babies, and i loved them. i love taking care of babies. i still like babies. but something was missing. all through my 20's, of is really sick. nobody ever knew what was wrong with me. tavis: you mean physically sick? >> then i started to write. all of these exotic illnesses. they magically disappeared. everything was coming out. tavis: the writing was therapeutic. >> it changed my life. it still does. tavis: i take your correction in moment ago. that is, as you know, part of the folklore about you, that you started writing for your kids. but if that is not the case, it does beg the question as to why. i have people in my head. i have not written anything like you. we all hear voices in our heads for times -- from time to time. but does not make as best- selling writers around the world. i get that once you got it out, you were heale

and he was -- he was the most funny man.r forget when we were doing our talk show, he had a great sense of humor too because we kept saying okay, come on, dick, everybody teases you because you look like you've got a picture up in the attic. and we said we want to do this spoof on you on the show, this skit, finding out really how old dick clark is. he said yeah, sure. so he let us cut him in two because we were going to count the rings on a tree and see how many rings there really were to find out how old dick clark was. and carrie was there on the set and rack, who is just darling, his son, who i -- my heart -- you know, goes out to him. and one of the things that when i went through my postpartum and everything, he said, marie, the best way to get through anything difficult is to keep working. and he worked until he couldn't anymore. >> and i remember coming home from lincoln high school in brooklyn, running to that television to watch "american bandstand." little did i know that i would be on that program. he went out on

but, again, it gets back to an interpretation of what was said, how it was said and who was there and who was a favorite of who and so on and so forth. but at a conference the day, the very night before the battle, there was a big discussion as to whether the confederate army after this horrendous delay of a couple of days when they thought they were going to fight the battle, the day after they began the march, two days had gone by and they hadn't -- hadn't gotten in position yet to attack. and so there was a conference. and, indeed, in that conference, was beauregard and -- and johnston and ape few others. but, what was said at the time was that beauregard, per se, said, well, i think we should retreat and go back to corinth because the enemy has discovered us, they will be entrenched in our eyes and we should leave the field without attacking and go back. well, sydney johnston got his dander up. this was not only something that that he couldn't understand in terms of beauregard's reasoning, but after planning all this and doing all this, where was the moral courage in terms of figh

i felt like my destiny was fulfilled, that that was what i was put on earth to do was to have my son.my daddy. my daddy. >> we were there when hall's mother, sister, wife, and 3-year-old son orion arrived for a visit. the first with orion since he was an infant. but there wouldn't be so much as a hug between them. hall's prior behavior problems resulted in a noncontact visit. >> hey, you. >> hi. >> here's orion. >> can you say, i love you, daddy? >> i love you, daddy. >> i love you, too. i miss you. >> orion was a bright light from the second that we saw him. he was very aware of his surroundings. he was over the moon to see his dad. he knew oddly enough that he was in a place where his dad didn't belong. >> there's your daddy. >> your daddy. >> that's your daddy, huh? he was so excited to see you. i kept saying, i'm going to see my daddy. you know what he said, too? >> what? >> he said, this is a castle. we're going to the castle. >> oh, yeah? >> castle? >> he thinks it's a castle. >> daddy. daddy. >> hey. >> he's stuck in the mirror. >> yeah. >> i can't get out my daddy. >> hearing

his mind was narrow but it was very deep. sis sense of humor was far sass particular, sometimes pet lent. he was a good require which will cover a multitude of sins. and he trau' believed that the fbi could root out the damagers to this country. what i really learned about hoover is that he was in the a monster. he was an american machiavelli. and he is the man who created the national security system we have today, really. and the surveillance state we have today. every camera on every street corner, every fingerprint, every bit of by wro metric data on file is a monument to him. >> because he thought he stood between national security and the threats that are-- existed. >> that he and his institution would round up anarchists, socialists, civil rights leaders. >> rose: yeah, indeed. >> anti-war protestors. >> rose: what caused him it go too far. what caused him to believe in his own obsession, so that can could do whatever he wanted to do. he was j. edgar hoover and he was the fbi. >> presidents. >> presidents gave him the

burke was a wig. burke was -- burke was not a wig wig, burke was a kind of a contrarian wig. so, even for burke, opposition was fine even if it was within your own party. being able to think your own thoughts, present your own ideas, was a good idea. and he saw political parties as a limit, a way to limit the monarch. he was a monarchist, a constitutional monarchists. the wigs were basically constitutional monarchists. the wigs certainly. and he got into a significant dust-up with the king over what he saw as the georges. the three georges pushed back on this growth of the importance of parliament and the power of parliament. they were looking for a way to get things you know, back a little bit maybe a little more like charles i. control over what's going on. and they were doing that by making kings ministers of members of the torrey party in parliament. and burke saw that as a very bad idea indeed. and fought against it and successfully, easy to see why he did. having the king come back to being a tyrant if i can use that inflammatory word, clearly was not part of what burke

sheryl was giving a piano lesson. margo, who was only 12, was preparing dinner with joe.ext would change their lives forever. >> after we had dinner, we sat down in the family room and i -- he was just talking, like he just wanted to leave. and he said he was just going to disappear. but we didn't really know what he was talking about. i said, mom, he's not even taking a toothbrush with him or anything. like, where is he going? this is kind of scaring me. >> reporter: so did you think he might do something that wasn't right? >> i kind of had, like, a feeling that something was going to happen, like something bad. and i told my mom that i wanted to leave. and she said, okay. and so we left. >> reporter: sheryl took her daughter to this nearby ramada inn. she never heard from joe again. the next morning, this is what sheryl drove up to. in this interview obtained by cnn, listen to what sheryl tells the fire department's arson investigator. >> i saw the smoke billowing and i said, oh, my god. he's burned the house down. and then i figured he was in it because he's suicidal.

feeling and what he was eating and what he was reading in who he was seeing. his thoughts and expressions, and isabelle was determined to remember should be part of his life. however at a certain point, she was equally determined she would not and so for those of you that might be thinking about legacy, how would you want to be remembered 100 years into the future? i will tell you what mark twain did and you can decide whether you want to often. first, you hire your own by augur. and you make them financially dependent upon you, which is exactly what he did when he hired elbert. he even had him live with him. he drank with him and he paid billiards with him and round up a building his house next to him in storm field connecticut to get he wasn't about to write anything that he didn't approve of and in fact correspondence still exist where he would threaten him. he started to read things or have access to letters he wasn't completely comfortable with. so lesson number one, your your own writer. lesson number two, write your autobiography which he did starting 3

which was somewhat symbolic. because doing these magnificent bronzeers took years and took a toll on him. it was going to be his birthday, and shrady died two weeks before the statue was dedicated. he was literally trampled by that statute. >>> for the second time in recent months. former first lay days barbara busch and laura bush sat down for a conversation about life in the white house. in this discussion we hear barbara bush on her husband's 1991 loss to bill clinton and her thoughts on the 2012 presidential campaign. laura bush speaks about her work on behalf of women in afghanistan. and about the moment she realized that average americans really do listen to what the first lady has to say. this hour-long conversation took place at the george w. bush presidential center in dallas, texas, as part of the conference. america's first ladies and enduring vision. [ applause ] >> hello, my name is mark langdale, president of the george w. bush foundation. i want to welcome to you the final panel of a great event we

at the push was that 33 clinton was winning only arkansas.ok, i didn't help, but i think by the time -- by the time he got to the convention from the fact that ross perot dropped out just as clinton and gore were on a jury, i think those votes over to him. he got 54% and 88 info. 37% in 1982. that's 17 points, right? and so i think it is more per row, but i think bush thinks i often credited for making them extremely unelectable. there was an amazingly emulate the trash job that was done afterwards by the liberal media that is to figure back down. >> let me talk to that because i gave that speech that night. i spoke first and reagan spoke right after. and all the commentators says this is tremendous speaking. bush came out of that race in some polls from 25 down and he was only two down coming out of it. the problem was of course the media came after they were scared to death of the social cultural issue. if the media are frightened of them, those are your issues because the media doesn't want us to win. i told senator baker i said, what is h

you know, i don't know if it was just i was too lazy to get up from where i was and go find the bell to ring it, but somehow i managed to make it through. >> host: when, when did you serve? >> guest: i went in '99 and then got -- in february of '99 and got out in november of '09. >> host: chris kyle is the author of a 13-week bestseller. it's called "american sniper: the autobiography of the most lethal sniper in u.s. military history," and he is our guest for the next hour here on booktv on c-span2, and we're going to put the numbers up on the screen if you would like to talk with mr. kyle. 202 is the area code, 737-0001 for the eastern and central mountain zones, 737-0002 for those of you in the mountain and pacific, and we have set aside a line for afghan and iraq vets in active duty, 202-628-0205. you can also contact us electronically, send an e-mail to booktv@cspan.org, or you can send a tweet to twitter.com/booktv. chris kyle, in your book you write that you were not the best shot at all. in your class. or at, before you went into the seals. >> guest: no, sir. i never claimed

he was told this was one of our premier projects. he was a health official in mexico. he said he'd never seen anything like this. he said i never have to see this again. tommy thompson was thing to tell the women of afghanistan. >> what is the motivation? you have seen the polls. why would the republicans be behind this tax why would the president be behind this? >> an old afghanistan taught me a new word. it is reify. -- riefy. i looked it up. reify is the confusion of a concept with reality. that is the word everyone was using in afghanistan. we were confusing a concept with reality. it sounds so great at the podium at the pentagon, but not in afghanistan. >> do not believe it? are they consciously misleading the american people? >> we are in an election cycle. sometimes elections make for bad strategy. >> co back to the checks and balances. congress has been over there. did you run into any members of congress? >> i did not. i did spend some time with some people out of holbrook's office. we are missing parts. we would send money out but we cannot send people to ove

he was on the road. he was a long-haul truck driver at the time. i called him to ask him what he wanted me to do because it's february, we were in, like, minus digits, and he said call and have a service guy come out. so i called home heating and air, had them come out. they told me that there was a couple of things that were broke on the -- oh, i'm sorry. >> judge judy: can't tell me what they told you. >> okay. >> judge judy: what did you do after the service people came out? >> they shut the furnace off for safety reasons because of carbon-monoxide poisoning leaking into the home. >> judge judy: and the next person you called was? >> if you're speaking about when i went to get the furnace, he actually came home later that night. we spoke as far as what it was we were going to do. we knew that the furnace had to be replaced, and so they had a salesguy come out from home heating and air-conditioning. we sat at our dining-room table and discussed which unit we were gonna do. >> judge judy: you and your husband chose a unit. >> yes, ma'am. >> judge

was going in to check his work, he was coming in too high. he was almost standing up. he was supposed to be crouched almost to the ground. and as he leaned over to check the catapult, he got sucked into the intake. >> under the deck, mcdonald watches in horror. he knows how slim the odds are of surviving an accident like this. >> when i saw it, i couldn't believe it. i was like totally, did that just happen? you know, i was like going back and forth in my mind, is it real? am i dreaming? you know, i was just amazed. and then i realized it was -- it actually happened. he was in the intake. >> it's pitch black, but the deck crew knows something has gone wrong. the pilot shuts down the plane, and mcdonald rushes to the flight deck to see his friend. >> i thought he was gone forever, you know? i thought he was history, and i was still like just going crazy. and i looked up, and he was crawling out of the intake. >> remarkably, bridges is alive. he's hurt, but incredibly lucky to live to tell his tale. >> the easiest way to explain it is kind of like a person eating a piece

martin was going to or i should say the 17-year-old young man was going on was he was going directlyas living, where he was staying, is that correct? >> yes. >> and isn't it true that this young man was unarmed? >> yes. >> isn't it true that mr. zimmerman was armed? >> yes. >> and in that recording to 911 or to the non-emergency operator or dispatcher, that you can actually tell when mr. zimmerman leaves the vehicle and continues to pursue mr. martin? >> yes. >> and isn't it true that the dispatcher or operator tells mr. zimmerman, hold on, something to the effect of you don't need to be following him, and he still continues to follow him? >> yes. >> and, sir, you were asked about the next paragraph here that zimmerman confronted martin and a struggle ensued and you were asked about what confronted means. if mr. martin was minding his own business and going home and somebody comes up to him, wouldn't you consider that a confrontati confrontation? >> yes. >> that is, mr. martin didn't turn around and start -- he was minding his own business and mr. zimmerman's the one that approached

>> i think i was around -- i was around, i was a round -- the teddy bear, i got it at 3:00, but i let him free at that time at the three years old. i let him free. i think i was around five years old that i started to take care of him. first, very important, i was -- [unintelligible] seeing on my grandmother. she had white hair. so i was putting on the the bear a little color that was kind of blue. after that, i do not know why, but i said he has to change. so it was more red, which was a strong color, too. then i try to make it black. that did not work. the texture of the paintings, because i was putting paintings on him, did not go with it. so i had to destroy it and start again. blue, red, start again. all the make up was the makeup of my grandmother. you can see an exhibition a teddy bear. i should say that he is a little nice monster, but it is a little monster anyway. you know, i have some affinity with air. i'd love the air. i love to touch the air. >> i hope you like my hair, because of a drag queen's last night were trying to touch it. [laughter] >> for the moment, i am not y

it was all internal. now what you do is sign in with facebook and get access to all the information that you have from your social network there. and they use that to target their messages. so, instead of sending out say sending a message to all your friends. they say send it to your five friends in the swing district in pennsylvania who are really concerned about taxes because they can know that information. >> mike: politics by the way it's called microtargetting. >> yeah. >> mike: it's where you don't just send a generic letter vote for me. you send a letter you find out this guy is a gun owner and pro-life. obviously that's not obama. you would send to him and say i hope you have renewed your membership nra and given another right to life. that's what i'm going to do when i'm elected. gleaning information from everyone's facebook and every type of google search that that when they send a message to you, andrew romano, they will know a lot of stuff behind b. you and target very specifically to what you

there was an arrest, but for some reason, he was let go. and now they are investigating. >> clear up one thing for me. last night there seemed to be some doubt about the legality of somebody operating as a neighborhood watch official using a firearm. because this is an unwritten code perhaps. it's a written code. >> it might be a preset of the neighborhood watch program, but if you believe and if it's the truth that he has a concealed weapons permit, he can carry that weapon. >> regardless of his capacity? >> regardless. they don't issue a permit saying this is valid except on neighborhood watch. it's no different than if a police officer was off duty. >> gloria, you have been involved in many high profile cases. what's your overview as we sit here tonight of this case? >> well, i think it's very fair for the family of trayvon martin to be asking the question why george zimmerman wasn't arrested. i think the answer, in part, is that the lead investigator reportedly did refer this case for prosecution. did think an arrest should be made. on

and i think he came to review, which you describe, that is that it was -- and it was a view that was beginning to be more broadly expressed in the region. the famous 2002 arab human development report from undp that there was a freedom deficit in the region. that is, that what the -- what the, bin laden, for example, was most against the whole world was against the saudi regime, and that you could -- you could see this as a -- as a, a problem in the political, especially political organization of these regimes. and he -- we saw this term freedom deficit. and i think that analysis was correct. and it led the president to the view that these regimes were not actually stable. now, he said you know, change is the work of generations. he did not say, you mark my words. in a year this will all be gone. we thought it would take a lot longer. but i think the fundamental analysis that these were not stable regimes, because they relied exclusively on force was correct. i would make an exception leer to some extent for the monarchies which have some, the legitimacy. varies degrees of legitimacy
