that was prime territory for development and one reason it was so completely developed was that it wasrelatively flat land. on the western side of rock creek you had great valleys the simpson valley and these other ravines that could be built on easily but on the other side it wasn't as hilly and there was great demand so they built. this was where wardman of the famous wardman buildings built a lot and they just built row after row putting on the holmead swamp which turned into swamp road. because they had basically paved over what was almost 2500 acres of the stream valley and a stream valley or watershed is like the whole and all the water's going to come down because the typography and go to one place which is the storm. so you've got all of this water now coming off a street and the roofs and going into these storm sewers and they have got to come out somewhere while this is where they come out. i like to call it the gates of would they are like arash doors. these are perhaps 15 or 20 feet high and this is at the corner of piney branch -- piney branch parkway and you don't see the

what i wanted to know was whether it was a genuine problem. i was told, no, it's a technical issue. i cannot understand why i was not clearly informed earlier about the problems in the us. of course i asked myself to whether i missed or misinterpreted particular signals. only at the very end he says, did he realize that the issue was an illegal defeat device is on our twitter form or does owns outsourced out to me earlier? because i found his appearance before the committee of inquiry, frankly appalling. his own on zillow, martin ventercore presented himself as someone who understood the engineering day and new v. w vehicles to a t portals yet, a ye this and there he is at the committee pretending had never heard of emissions control system as it was station looking on the vascular in tickle and says he was oblivious to anything untoward. for almost 10 years, he knew nothing about the defeat device and nothing about the growing risks for the w is that possible. embodied type, he was a stickler for detail. although he was a boss for many decades as easily, you're in charge of technic

their main conclusion was first of all, it was not a riot, it was a coop. it did set black voting rights for decades in white supremacy and state policy and all of so they did correct the historical record. finally more than 100 years later we finally get the truth people were really paying attention, there wasn't a whole lot even in north carolina much less nationally so i it kind of slipped by. people didn't know about the coup to begin with so they tend not to think about an explanation for something that happened so long ago they didn't know about it in the first place. >> that's right. we got a question from eric call here, this is the question. charles w chesnutt 1901 historical document, the tradition uses the wilmington massacre as the central cause, chestnut makes it clear that the white mobs are responsible for the massacre of black americans in his novel. why do you think it took so long to reveal the true narrative? >> that's a great question. that's a terrific book and i use as one of my sources, it was very much fact-based and it was useful fo

so he was 52 and my grandmother was born. >>. >> what was a household like? she's doing all thisstuff, he's a lawyer and is 10 years older having kidsand now she's in her 40s . outage raising children work in that household ? >> the good thing about the time they live what they didn't have to commute. so i mean, francis and the fellowship league was almost around the corner. from where my great-grandparents lived that saved a lot of time. my grandmother you know, they went to school in the neighborhood. i was based in the neighborhood they grow up in and everything was in walking distance . there was a sense of community, among the people who lived in the neighborhood so therewas a lot of help . >> i just don't see how that got done but she did it. so there are a couple of questions coming in from the folks who are attending the program here. and i want to say when you look at your great-grandmothers diary, do you see anything in there that surprised you , that shocked you when you were going through them? >> we were when we were doing research i did go throu

i was an nco.had people before this thing was over, we had sergeants acting as cos, and we had anybody doing anything that we could get them to do because you just run out of people. so i went out to meet with the ncos, and whatever was left, and we were in the shell crater. and the captain, i can remember him being very frustrated, just absolutely didn't know what to do. he was looking for ideas, how do we do this thing? what can we do to keep make progress and not get people killed? so, he was asking others for ideas, and he looked over at me, and he said this is what somebody else told me. i don't know. but somebody else told me, they looked over at me and said do you think you can knock out some of those pill boxes with the flame thrower? and i had no idea what i really said. some of the guys in the hall said, i'll try. so, i guess that was a volunteer. he said, well, i'll give you some marines and he gave me four, two automatic rifleman, and their instructions were to protect me. and i strappe

he was sure he skbu where the killer was. a neighbor with a gun and a grudge. >> i thought they better get there before i do. >> some said the couple was having trouble. that seth has secret. >> did she tell you she sent topless pictures? >> someone said it's right under cops' noses. a case unfolding on camera, one nat would stes three jures, shatter two families. and chase one final twist. >> that was her biggest secret. ♪ >>> the corn fields of iowa are a far place from memphis. but it was here a baby girl was named after a princess. lisa marie. yep, that one. >> as a kid, i was pretty big-to elvis. i knew my first daughter was going it bow lisa marie, because of elvis,f course. >> she was the life of the party. >> once she started talking, she haddent shut up. >> tracee and todd caldwell watched their girl grow up all but unstoppable. bowling time. weir not talking saturday night? >> no, anything she did she had to be the best at it. >> a lisa was a teenager when they divorced. all the while he was working as a deputy in t

it was 460-some pages, and their main conclusion was first of all, it was not a riot.s was a coup. that it did set black voting rights for decades, and it instilled white supremacy, state policy, all of that, and so they did correct the historical record. finally, you know, more than a hundred years later we finally get the truth. i don't think people were really paying attention. there wasn't a whole lot of publicity even in north carolina, much less nationally. i think it kind of slipped by, and people really didn't know. people didn't know about the coup to begin with, so they tended not to read about an explanation for something that happened so long ago that they didn't know about in the first place. >> that's right. now, we've got a question from eric hall here, and this is his question. with a little preface. charles w. chestnut's 1901 historical novel uses the wilmington massacre as the central conflict. chestnut makes it clear that the white mobs are responsible for the massacre of black americans in his novel. why do you think it took so long to reveal the tr

it was before, germany was still parliamentary. then hitler became chancellor and everything changed. and i mean overnight. we saw very rapidly germinate progress from a parliamentary democracy to a fascist dictatorship. she stepped up her efforts to recruit but she had to be a lot more careful because if she recruited the wrong person she could be turned over to the gestapo. it sounds rather mild. really in a dictatorship they're denouncing hitler of the nazi party. he will be sent to a concentration camp and that's exactly what happened to two of the recruits. they were let out than the camera right back into the group and kept going. you get a sense of commitment of the people in this group. it is a diverse group. there are jews in the group, catholics in the group, they were factory workers, they were professors, they were students, they were artists, they were office workers, there were social democrats so they were covid in their hearts at least called themselves this. and 40% were women. over the course of eight years , it w

what was their relationship like and who was he and what kind of person was he. know, when i do met him he was 10 years older than her and an established attorney and he also owned a newspaper, a conservatory newspaper, he was also an activist in his own way and so they were a really good match because his personality was more laid back and unassuming and she was fiery, she was confrontational and they really kind of complemented each other. >> so she does not marry until -- how old was she? >> she was 33 years old and really anxious for somebody who is born in 1862. >> and she doesn't have any children up until then either. so now she's in her 30s and during the time she was married she had three children. is that right? >> yes. >> for children. >> okay. >> so when was that? >> my grandmother was born when she was 42 and that's highly unusual today. the women that have children, she was an older mother and then you have to remember my great-grandfather was 10 years older as well, so she was 52 when my grandmother was born. >> so how did all that work, what was t

also, it was clear that he was clear that he was not necessarily speaking for the president. the president himself but his prestige on the line at camp david. he himself. one last point on leverage, there was a huge debate within the carter administration about how to deal with reagan. this was a new character. he had a nationalistic vision of controlling all of the palestinian territories from the mediterranean to the jordan river and even east of the jordan river. there was a whole group, lewis, vice president mondale, a political advisor, and myself who argued way to deal with him was by using honey, incentives, appealing to his sense of history. on the other hands, carter used vinegar and pushed. that is the leverage that he ended up using. it is one of the reasons he got an agreement, but lost so heavily politically. when the secretary of state is involved, it is critical he/she be seen is really speaking for the president. if the president is going to get involved, which is, again, a rarity, that president has to do so with his or her eyes open to the political risks to

>> well, it was interesting. was -- my mother was doling out cousins. i would call them and i got a family geneology that indicated that my grandfather's parents were not john and jenny burns of scotland, but jacob and velda burnstein and i called my brother and said isn't that interesting our great grandfather was jacob and you named your son jacob. and he was not interested at all. he said, jacob was named for someone in my wife's family. i said, yes, and that is a very common name, don't you think that is an interesting lineage? and he was not engaging. i remember a dinner, a family dinner, my nephew, who was a teenager at the time said, well, jim, i don't understand how is it that you're jewish but dad's not jewish and grandma is not jewish? >> uh-huh. >> and i am looking over at my brother thinking how do i answer that? >> interesting. >> and that is how things have remained. >> in the family. whoever going to take another quick break and come back here on "mosaic." please join us in just a moment. . >>> good morning. welcome back to "mosaic." i'm

a man lying in each one like he was holding a rifle except there was no rifle and man was dead. they were all dead. they were overrun by the vietnam. what we were doing is the chief of the helicopter needed help. we had to go man-to-man until we found the two american advisers and recovered their bodies and brought them back to the helicopter and brought them home and that's the only reason that guy but is on the helicopter, he needed help carry the bodies and it was a shock. a total shock. to that moment, my knowledge of war was limited to john wayne movies for god sakes. now i saw the reality of it, i saw 200 dead vietnamese and two dead americans and i looked at their faces and i carried their bodies and i looked at them all the base and they didn't look like john wayne to me. , they turned the camera off and you're okay but not in the war, you are still dead. we got back to that town, that base and it was getting near dark and he told me, he said they are so scared, all the americans leave at night and fly back but if we stay the night, we'll get start early in the morning a

ron there was a lot. it was a bipartisan idea. it was a bipartisan idea. >> and then, in the 68 campaign, with jean mccarthy, he campaigned on it. but then when the time came to the vote, mccarthy didn't support it. >> it was richard next on. some unlike ... in reverse today. >> whether republicans ran it before, you just don't want to give credit to the other side. that was. it on the liberal side. >> nixon refer tim moynihan, he referred him as our monument, that is how seriously he took this and how disappointed he was when it was a past. >> our monument, this is what will be remain to remember a spy. and then he said, i only had three members of the cabinet with me, only three. he said, i'm doing it ... he said, i had my doubts. he said, i'm doing it because it is the right thing. >> with his own congressional relations, left some to verdict. >> that was not helpful. >> two very quick things. that to be very quick. what is the christian working man's anti communist, anti-defense rivers and harbors act of 1969? >> doesn't that

catherine created that she was there for ten years. it was not an accident she was sent.trated the vote from the white house as the executive director. >> you may not remember this, when i was named administrator, you gave me a phone call and said you are about to see this huge agency, boots on the ground all around the world. but you said the one thing you do not appreciate is the value , you said to me i just promise you we will have this conversation again later. the tool of the dark inability to focus to meditate assistant is the best in the world it would be terribly valuable. given always thought the venezuelan migration and cyclones and we had that mexico city earthquake you were right, absolutely. that something i agree with you i think is under appreciated. let me switch gears. there is another aspect i think of the bush 41 era that is not really thought about. policy for good reason. reminds us, panama, northern iraq, kuwait, somalia, bush 41 was not afraid to use military force when he believed the cause was just an in line with the international framework that

, when he was 12. and so in connecticut had a different experience going to school and it was integrated schools, and different experience going to school and just kind of his perspective about what he could do, and broaden and opened his eyes to a lot of new things that he could experience. .. >> and then he ended up going to the army but in 1963, he also is speaking in hartford, connecticut. at the memorial and that you know just really changes his mind and to me, emotionally is like learning the staff and working with them is really like relearning textbook learning of history. after working with somebody lived through these experiences, my father often talked about how fitting for him when his grandmother was a referred by first name in the south and is stuck with him until the day he died into me i will never know what that means. i don't have the same relationship rated but i can relate to it and understanding so all kinds of ways but then you have the emotions when they found out that the organi

i was -- i was in my office watching the floor. mcconnell was up there. i was so damned mad. he was talking about stuff. i was mad. i called my office. why don't we have somebody out there saying something. he said senator, that was transcribed, that was recorded earlier today. we're out of session. so durbin has been my man, my cousin jeff. whenever i have a problem, everybody, i call dick durbin. dick durbin can talk about anything that sounds good. okay. chuck schumer. okay. my kids said make sure you tell everybody about how smart you think he is. okay. i'm going to do it. one day i said to schumer -- we hadn't known each other a long time, but i said how the hell did you ever get in harvard? he said it helped i had a perfect s.a.t. and perfect a.c.t. that's true. he is a brilliant man. he has a big heart and he works extremely hard, and he has been so good to me. we worked together. he took a job he didn't want, chair of the dscc twice, but it worked out great. we were able to get the majority. so i will always have great affection for him, and i wish him well in being m

i know that there was some government that was necessary. my grandfather and grandmother were still living in that town. i had to sign every check. it was always kind of a charm, you had your own rent parents sign a check for whatever it was. i had one for grandfather and one with an -- for a nickel that was born with major disability. you know when it hits home. which i believe made me -- made more sense. i knew what being poor was like. i knew what my grandparents went through. i knew how hard it was, the depression. i was pretty sensitive to people with disabilities. you always dream about being president of the united states. i understood the most vulnerable groups in america. not just the people at the top, i understood the people at the bottom. >> that will -- role of the government seemed to conflict your philosophy of conservatism? >> sometimes. i think there is a limit on what the government should or should not do. some programs start off with a modest price and increase pretty rapidly. that program is in worse shape than social se

i was concerned, was he my hit man? start talking about some things honestly here. >> okay, that's fine. >> people are telling me you're the shooter. >> when "a dangerous man" continues. the shooter. >> when "a dangerous man" continues. there's a different way to treat hiv. it's once-monthly injectable cabenuva. cabenuva is the only once-a-month, complete hiv treatment for adults who are undetectable. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by a healthcare provider once a month. hiv pills aren't on my mind. i love being able to pick up and go. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems,...and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering

at that time i was talking in 1928 moses was told the politicians, he was going to build the meadowbrook parkway from down to jones beach to what was a very deserted part of long island. the land was not worth much but of course whatever the exits to this parkway that leanne was going to be immensely valuable. he told them where the exits were going to be so they can make money. i had to prove that to say that's what i was told and i cannot write it unless i documented it. i had to find out who bought the land, who sold and how much. i use the very same methods that i had used as a reporter. this was very important for not only for everything, for the story of robert moses. i knew he started out as an idealist and a key part of his idealism. he would never deal with politicians they would never give him inside information. but it turned to something very different. now it seemed this is the place that he had turned so i needed to be able to prove it. of course i did. i can't remember the details but i looked in the county clerk's office under the name of the secretary of not the presiden

was there planning so specific to those weaknesses? >> yes it was. they did have a spy and honolulu and i'm spacing his name because i am a bad scholar. ned? >> note the japanese spy in honolulu at the teahouse. the japanese did have a very good sense for what i want to say, the weekly cycle of operations that are going on with the pacific fleet at this point. they know sunday is a day of rest. most of those ships are probably going to be back in harbor and may not be fully manned as a result. so absolutely they wanted to time the attack on a sunday for those reasons. the plug again in terms of the contingency plans the japanese had, what if that fleet had been in, what if some of it have been here some of it had been there? what if it were just off the harbor mouth. again we can talk about the counterfactual section what might've happened. but the japanese did have a very detailed set of plans in hand for what they would do if they have to go after the fleet in a different location. if it did not conform to the operational patterns they had seen. >>

what i wanted to know was whether it was a genuine problem. i was told, no, it's a technical issue. i cannot understand why i was not clearly informed earlier about the problems in the us. of course i asked myself to whether i missed or misinterpreted particular signals. only at the very end he says, did he realize that the issue was an illegal defeat device 0 output to form or does long's also st out merely because i found his appearance before the committee of inquiry, frankly appalling, his own on zillow. martin ventercore presented himself as someone who understood the engineering day and new v w vehicles to a t portal. it's your to years and there he is at the committee pretending had never heard of emissions control system as it was station looking on the vascular in tickle and says he was oblivious to anything untoward. for almost 10 years, he knew nothing about the defeat device and nothing about the growing risks for v. w. is that possible embodied type, he was a stickler for detail. although he was a boss for many decades easily you're in charge of technical issues that ca

how was your summer? mine was great, how was yours? super.hy are they asking me how my summer was? i don't know. everybody's being extremely friendly me to me and they're going out of their way to do it. i don't mean just a hi. i mean claps on the back and high fives. and i was a little bit bewildered by this because no one gets this kind of a welcome their first day of school. and girls were kissing me, like fully kissing me, saying i'm so glad you came back. i was saying thank you, hello back, but i'd never been there before and i didn't know them. it was bizarre. and the next thing i heard right behind me, welcome back, eddy. eddy, how are you? eddy, hi. i'm like, hey, i don't know what you're talking about, i just got up here. sure, eddy, you're really funny, really funny, real funny. i'm like, i'm not eddy, i don't know who eddy is. welcome back, eddy, they're all saying. i finally made it to this dump of a dorm room. and before a minute had gone by, who now? who now is going to come to find eddy? >> i had been at college the previous ye

that was the last time. that was the last time i was outside. this is where i got locked up at.ber the first day i pulled up to the prison. then that gate, zshhh—boom. then you hear them razor wires shake. ding—ding—ding—ding. i was in there so long, from a teenager to 44 years old. it was like every time i closed my eyes, i see a long tunnel with a little dot, pinprick at the end. and i'd be, like, "man, am i still in prison?" i couldn't sleep. my mind was running, my mind was racing, like, "you got a life sentence for something you didn't... "you're in prison." it's part torture, mental anguish, fear. and the fear is one of the great ones. you fear never getting out. i was accused of killing a white man in a drug deal gone bad. mr george radcliffe. now, that investigation was like no other. it was a couple of guys shooting and stuff that went on in the area, but when a white guy got killed, you couldn't walk down the street, you couldn't stop. isaid, "man, whoever they lock up for that through." that's what i said. because racism was so strong in greenville. they was looking f

my dad was he was, he was a, he was a real character. and i think about him a lot with health. and it's interesting when your parents have been gone for, for while you know, what do you think about and they're still there in the rear and you can hear them anything on my face, but they think of a phantom not dang it. wow, this is great. i think it's so i think it's a chance for you to discover who your grandfather was and it's, it's for you to get to know my dad in a way that may be the start. i mean, we have a few pictures. you know, you're going to go off and talk to people who knew him and worked with them. and i think that's just terrific. i'm really glad my grandfather's fascination was safety clothing and subsequent. he space seats began during world war t mat ragowski was stationed at 3rd light. bedfordshire in england in the 3 or 6 bombardment group as a navigator in the b. 17 flying fortress has left now is a small museum operated by ra franklin, on the outskirts of the old afield. ah, i've come here with my dad because we both want to hear my grandfather's combat story

it was sort of that was the kindling where donald trump's big lies was able to set afire.ow build up. and that's why it's so much harder to fight back against now. >> in the months leading up to this fateful day at four seasons total landscaping the trump campaign was, trump is sort of throwing out different reasons why he would eventually lose. once it became clear to him, i remember talking to advisers in the white house on the campaign, once he started to accept it was a possibility which took a really long time given what the polls said and how things were going in the country and with the coronavirus, he started to kind of amp things up with spit balling about things that were going wrong, who was taking the election from him, the fact that fraud was forthcoming basically to give himself an excuse in the event he did lose. >> you talk about conspiracy theories. there was one moment in the documentary very foreshadowing. let me play it. it is when marie starts receiving phone calls and messages and one was a conspiracy theory. >> the things they're saying about us is l

now how these transpired was never explained. who was the original owner was never explained. they take possession and it's never explained. what is explained and what he entalked about is he took a tremendous interest at the time he came to live with him he had recently married and had nine children with his wife but in all of the accounts, robert was raised by eliza by the time john is born, roberts is a teenager and when he's a little way, roberts is into his early 20s and is a unique figure in the family. in one sense he is known to be a for special favorite of the patriarch everyone else describes the father was considered this formidable figure, much respected, sort of cold remote man and yet roberts was much more interactive. they were committed to this regimen of study. they wanted him to go to school but they would teach those in kentucky so he was taught at home, but because of that i think james gave robert a sort of freedom of movement so he became a pioneer because it was one of the few areas african-americans could compete and the reason for that was a lot of the

he was determined to show the party was changing, right here, right now.r in front of you in this hall as leader of our great party. not everyone was happy, though. shouting slogans or changing lives, conference? do you stand by your remarks? the deputy leader caused controversy when she used the word "scum" to describe conservative ministers. she stood by it at the time, but apologised unreservedly a month later. in manchester, borisjohnson used his conference speech to buoy up supporters. after decades of drift and dither, this reforming government, this can—do government, the government that got brexit done, that is getting the covid vaccine roll—out done, is going to get social care done. the green party got new co—leaders at their conference. across the country, concern was growing about rising energy prices and the cost of living. and then... tonight, the conservative mp sir david amess has died after being stabbed during a constituency surgery in essex. forensics teams and firearms . officers at the methodist church, where the local mp had been l ho

you could see the area was heidi was and i was lost for words. just doesn't make sense. >> reporter: a vibrant young woman stalked by a killer. >> i cringe every time i think about it. >> reporter: found dead by her boyfriend. >> my brother was just a mess. he was devastated. >> reporter: the most ominous clue? >> up on the wall, to the left of where heidi's body was, was a number one. >> she's number one and get ready 'cause. >> right, yeah. >> here comes trouble, huh? >> exactly. >> reporter: it wasn't a break-in. the windows, the door nothing was broken. did the killer have a key? >> the question always was, "how did the person get into the house?" >> a decade later, in a state 1500 miles away, detectives finally found their answer. >> we got a dna hit. >> reporter: and more questions. >> we knew there was more to this story than just some guy coming from colorado to commit a murder and go back home again. >> did someone closer to home want her dead? >> you're 99% sure that he had something to do with it. but there's no smoking gun. >> so many

she was doing was so much stress and pressure come for me was that caretaking. in my situation all those many years later she's always approach our conversation as a friend first and boss next and by she always gave me was i'm here to support you no matter what you choose to do, i'm here to support you. just know you have that. so i did kerry that confidence in our relationship throughout all these years. >> you stood by anthony's site for a long time. some people felt maybe -- [inaudible] after sort of the repeated sexting scandals and all of that came with it, usually front page stories for a while. why did you make the decision to stay as long as you did and even to go so far as to publicly defend him when he was running for mayor back in i think it was 2013? >> right. i think a lot of people looked at my relationship with anthony threw a 2021 perspective in hindsight of 2020, and it is why i wrote in detail, as i was writing the book someone was hoping with research toby the most common headline about me during that time was what is she thinking and what is

he was very skillful at cultivating that support but it was there and that was the huge difference from today. another differences you know in 1971 and i found this very interesting, we were just beginning to experience what globalization was all about. we had it. deficit, congress was worried about unemployment and automation by their interaction with the rest of the world was in its infancy. today of course was so incredibly linked to other countries that it's nowhere near as great. i think the biden administration challenges -- faces challenges that are much deeper than nixon did and i'm not sure it has the same level of talent so a there's a lot of sobering thought. >> as you mention in your book degaulle was in power in france. they had their own image of themselves and they were rising from post-world war ii. now we have xi jinping in particular and nixon recognized china but now are on the opposite poll of what we are doing now. i'm just wondering and i know i have already sina question here on the dollar itself. this is a footnote jeffrey as you know dollar bond issuance in doll

but it was a good, it was a good bet. organized crime. (people talking in background) fred wyshak, renowned for prosecuting mob kingpins like whitey bulger, was brought on to the case. ♪ ♪ >> well, the racketeering statute, the rico, was passed in about 1970, directly aiming at organized crime, the mafia. now we were able to indict the whole organization. for example, the winter hill gang in boston. we did a classic investigation. we started at the bottom of the pyramid and we started taking out the bookies, and the loan sharks, and the drug dealers. get those individuals to cooperate, and that was a key to our success. >> narrator: now they would try with insys, methodically moving up the organizational chart, closing in on john kapoor. >> alec burlakoff, he had built a trap for himself. you know, coming in and talking to prosecutors for four or five hours on tape and lying, he had created this piece of evidence that, uh, you know, was going to be devastating to him if he went to trial. (waves lapping) >> i made the deci

abortion, of course, was a legal - -was illegal.ost: the important meeting was with linda, so let's bring her into the story. how did these women get together? guest: norma is pregnant for the third time in 1969, she does not want to have a child and she does not want to have it raised and does not want to relinquish the child. i will add to what i was saying before. when she gave birth to her first child, alyssa, she begged her mother, mary, to take the child off of her ends. just as mary had to give up her child, and now it was norma giving up her child to her mother, even though she bent the mother. it was an interesting similarity , an echo of a previous generation. norma later lied, she said her child had been kidnapped by her mother. she lied a lot, when she was begging the mother to take the child offer ends and the mother did a doctor. there was a common thread. she was always we imagining herself as not a sinner but as a victim, someone who had the child taken from them. when she is pregnant for the third time, she then goe

so he was, it was a, a volatile guy. he was a genius. it was a james. and he, i don't think his contributions will ever be fully appreciated. the styles of the space race, of course, with the asking the american public records, he followed every detail that i feel amorous lifestyles. but the glare of the media spotlight of an obscure the dangers of traveling into space and crucial partnership between the men who built the seats and the ones he wore them asked, you know, if jim lovell is better than anybody was, it was like to trust the crew systems team with his life, or what he shows me around next, submission of artifacts from his 3 flights into space. he tells me how he and his crew port, his most famous missions, apollo 13 back from the brink of disaster of lawn. thanks and parts to the ingenuity of the nasa engineers on the ground, one of our big graces was the fact that all of their 3 people had to live in the lunar module. because the command module was dead in the lunar module. environmental system had only a couple of canisters to remove the ca

he was a brilliant unionist politician who was a great wit, a q.c., queen's counsel, so he was one of the top barristers. he finally became lord chancellor. he was known for his repartee at various law cases. everybody has their favorite f. if e. smith story, but my favorite one is when he, a judge said at the end of summing, the summing up by f.e. smith, the judge said i seem to be none the wiser. no, my lord, replied f. if e. smith, but -- f.e. smith, but you are much better informed. [laughter] >> that's a wonderful, wonderful line. >> unfortunately, f.e. was also a terrible alcoholic. and by the time of his death in, very early in 1930, it meant that in those great appeasement struggles of the 1930s poor churchill was on his own. my sense very much is that f.e. beside him, with f.e. beside him they'd have been able to move more of the dial on public opinion and especially conservatives. >> when i read your essay, i was struck by the sort of negative quality of churchill's trial. it wasn't simply that he rallied opinion, held hitler at bay -- something we all give him credit for, w

, he was called an impatient guy and since he was in college he was always in a rush and so he really wanted to solve inequality and address these big societal problems in a really quick way. again, good intentions, but if you do it too quickly, problems start to come up. anyway, why did the banks get involved? this is a key turning point in the program. >> the federal deficit was rising very quickly because of all of the spending. and so, there was a concern, as there has been over the past 20 or 30 years, if the deficit rises there could be other things that could happen that could affect the broader economy, so the thinking that a big deficit is bad. and so, if you had an opportunity loan program, the way that the government did accounting, i'm geeking out here, but the way that the government did accounting, if you generated a billion dollars in student debt. let's just say that you gave students a billion dollars in one year, federal spending would rise up by that, by that, and-- by that much and then when-- in that one year. so that the program looked very expensive when you gav

it was just me. that's amazing. -- it was just amazing. tamara: since we are on the topic of speeches about race, i wanted to ask cody and john about this too, you both served presidents who gave important speeches at times when racial division was out in the open in the u.s., of course, it is way out in the open again. cody, you are finishing up a book about that period of time between the mass shooting at mother emmanuel church and his eulogy? cody: my manuscript is due tomorrow. i will be planning an old-fashioned all-nighter tonight. i am writing a book about the 10 days between the shootings in charleston and the eulogy in charleston. it is not a memoir, there was a lot that happened in that week. there was a public debate about the confederate flag coming down in the south in public spaces and the supreme court with marriage equality. the one thread through all of this is this question of who are we? who are americans? who gets to decide who belongs? there is this contest to determine the true meaning of america that has been going o

he was an ideologue. he was willing to ignore reality. he would be happy today. >> host: he is so all in on twitter and social media. >> guest: and shame and people which he did with john adams accusing him of monarchy. john adams didn't want to create a king, but it was a tagline that worked. you say monarchy that is the kind of codeword but we have today. >> reassuring they were just as vicious with each other as we are today. they didn't have the internet to do it but they had pamphlets, ways of getting the message across. just as unreasonable and mean as we are today. >> guest:'s holy and underhanded. in jefferson's case, here he is in washington's cabinet getting increasingly alienated by washington and hamilton's policies. doing everything he can to secretly undercut washington's administration. what does he do? he didn't have the internet, but the internet of the day was the newspaper so he hires a guy supposedly as a translator for the state department but his job was to start a newspaper that is critical of the government. it mak

>> i was told i was going to lose my job over it. it was horrible.his, even at the time, people said you're making a big mistake. even today, i don't believe i made a mistake standing up at a press conference because to me i felt i was taking responsibility for a decision that we had made jointly. i think if i understood clearly then the mental health challenges, this falling into the behavioral the social media portals that hadn't been available and all of a sudden work available to him is something you just couldn't stop. i write in the book why can't you just knock it off when you are in any kind of relationship with somebody that has addictive behavior can't stop, it's hard to navigate that space. i drove to the house and she told me she values the work i did professionally for her and she didn't believe that i should pay for my husband's mistakes. >> there was also a point that you thought you might lose your son. it kind of got you this on welcomed attention from the child welfare services office in new york. it just seemed to add a whole other

that was our background and my dad he was still alive by the way, he was a state trooper for 31 years read when he retired i had work ethic. he had almost two years of unused sick leave and vacation that he just went to work every day. that was embedded in me. it when i was growing up and we went to college, we thought it was going to be the politician, the lawyer and that was back at a time with l.a. law, everybody wanted to be lawyer. i was getting ready at that point, lisa and i had been married over 32 years. it started the journey, how did i get there. coming from the state troopers kid. when we went on vacation we went to the state park. for me it was growing up in the radio i saw the world. never thinking that i might one day be able to travel or be sitting congress. for where you come from is a matter of land. for us we had church and faith in the backyard of belief. we argue about football politics. he became something that being a part of your community was never in doubt for me. that is what you did. as i grew in my life and faith i struggled like a lot of young people. i n
