even weinberger noted. they all, you know. so even as far as whether reagan did, in fact, know, this was the big question in huge disagreement among all concerned, among investigators, among anybody that you talk to. half of them can't believe that reagan didn't know about it because this was one of his mo most, you know, important subjects for him, policy topics. is aides, as bruce knows, on the iran side did nothing but try to go out and get answers to the hostages, every meeting you had, as i understand it did with well, what are we going to tell the president about what hostages are. the same with the contras. it's conceivable that reagan would just stop asking questions about how we're keeping these guys together audie and sold for two years. seems inconceivable. the other half says, well, but poindexter is just taking, he was such an arrogant guy that he saw it as fully within his responsibility to decide what the president knew and didn't know, and that's what he said during the hearing. that looking like a grey ghost i

and then of course one of the big turning events was the arrest of jack weinberg.berkeley in those days, the accounting was 8 of us and 10,000 of them. the so-called law and order group of which i was a number were very small in number. and our job was to go on television to go on around the campus and talk about trying to calm the situation down, trying to find a civil way of dealing with the issue. in retrospect, i have to say that what i think the students achieved was very important. as i've grown older, as i've become a little more politically involved, as i can vote, as i have seen life develop, i think it was important thing at the time. >> bruce works in san jose as an attorney, and he is now working with other cal alum in the hopes of improving political discourse. in berkeley, diane dwyer, nbc bay area news. >> now tomorrow diane will look at the final three months of that movement. and then on saturday, tune in for a 30-minute special which features more rare interviews and photographs from that very turbulent time. >>> well, the silicon valley is the le

weinberg trying to make clear that the strategy is the same.n't let this interrupt business operation. they're not going to let this be a hiccup for them. clearly a lot of uncertainty about what's going on at sanofi now. >> i was just going to point out, this is also the difference between free markets and capitalism in that you've -- and it's about pricing of diabetes drugs in this country. you've got a duopoly. if there's only two of you in the market, you should be able to resist that pressure. >> that's an issue being discussed for why he's out. people say that's a systemic issue. that shouldn't be the reason the ceo necessarily gets fired. that's why they're pointing more toward cultural issues. interestingly, it was just a year ago that we saw a similar situation at teva. that's an israeli company and a very important company to israel. with a ceo who was not israeli getting ousted there. similar situations here. >> although, i've heard, and weinberg pushed back on that, meg, a bit saying it was much more performance issues and promises n

what -- mark weinberg will share some of his experiences. she looked? -- sheila? >> good morning.ike a lot of us, particularly from the reagan days, we are not as active as we used to be. neither is nancy reagan. wanted to have something to say today. she wrote to sarah. remembrance of all the memories she had. she shared this with sarah and then ultimately time magazine. i am honored to share this with you today. she said, ronnie and i could tell there was something special about jim brady from the moment we met him. he had a certain twinkle in his eye. he had a way of letting you know that he knew what he was doing and everything would be all right. he had a zest for life that was infectious. he love to hear and tell a good story. he laughed easily and could see the silver lining in even the darkest cloud. he made the best chili in town. when was time to be serious, jim was serious and often in a three-piece suit with a notebook -- in hand. hand jim was at ronnie's side. he was taking detailed notes. brief the press on whatever had transpired. when jim gave advice, ronnie and i

this give me five, ten minutes to standup, to draw a crowd, make a speech. >> reporter: weinberg spent 32 hours in the car as the crowds swelled to 6,000 and the movement was born. it achieved its goals, the university eventually eliminated the restrictions on political activity. >> it was a turning point and sort of helped set the stage for what became the anti-vietnam war movement. women's equality, other liberation movements were all sort of set in motion by the activities in berkeley in 1964. for years the university tried to downplay what happened here in 1964 and after. the administration wanted no part of the 25th anniversary of the free speech movement. >> fifty years ago today... >> reporter: but today, the university has embraced the free speech movement as its own. in 1997 the administration even named the steps on sproul plaza after mario savio, whom it expelled in the 60's. his widow, lynn hollander savio took part in the movement as well. >> reporter: the free speech movement had very limited goals, it was totally non violent and it had a very high level of intellectual d

this was articulated worst bike carl weinberger who said if you will put men and women in the armed services and harm's way, we have to satisfy first that it is a direct national security threat to the country and that we have to have a well thought out plan. i believe we have gotten into conflicts around the globe where the first criteria has not been adhered to. we have gotten into nationbuilding, policing other countries him and posing , roles we should not be in that do not relate to the national security interest. they be humanitarian but not a direct inc. to national security interest. i think a lot of americans are upset by mission creep we saw in afghanistan and iraq. we have to ensure that when we do use force it is part of a sensible and strategic part of using force. not is where congress is afraid to challenge their own party when they are not getting those sorts of answers him up because you are asking men and women to leave their families and put their lives on the line, and they need to know it is not only an important issue that relates to the national security but have suppo

to have that debate to debate the questions with the criteria i have come up with such as caspar weinberger and colon powell is fine but these seem to be obvious questions i would hope we would hear those in a thorough debate in congress. with that i am happy to take questions and thank you for your attention. [applause] >> we do have time for some questions. but we do not have microphones. >> [inaudible] >> i think chris could probably speak to this strategy better than i could, but i think the way to successive administration and have stretched the post led 11 aumf does threatened to permanently change the default setting of the united states from peace to war as i alluded to at the end of this speech, there is, as we get further away from september 11 with groups of various composition or connections to al qaeda or intentions for the united states whole way and, we're becoming increasingly divorced from the original legal basis of the war against the al qaeda. and i do think it is quite shocking this is in 2013 senator levin asked a pentagon official for a list and he was told he might b

mark weinberg will share some of his experiences. sheila? >> good morning. i'm trying to figure out where to put my water without spilling it. i think like a lot of us, particularly from the reagan days, we are not as active as we used to be. neither is nancy reagan. she dearly wanted to have something to say today. she wrote to sarah. it was a moving remembrance of all the memories she had. she shared this with sarah and then ultimately time magazine. i am honored to share this with you today. she said, ronnie and i could tell there was something special about jim brady from the moment we met him. he had a certain twinkle in his eye. he had a way of letting you know that he knew what he was doing and everything would be all right. he had a zest for life that was infectious. he love to hear and tell a good story. he laughed easily and could see the silver lining in even the darkest cloud. he made the best chili in town. when was time to be serious, jim was serious and often in a three-piece suit with a notebook or pencil is hand -- in hand. jim was at ronnie

in 1984 nearly 30 years ago in november of 84 the national press club here in washington caspar weinberger who was the president's secretary of defense outlined six tests to be considered weighing the use of the combat forces abroad. in the disastrous mission in lebanon and the bombing of the marine barracks in beirut but it also was after the attack on grenada so there were two cases they had in mind and these are the words of choice created these aren't a question whether the united states would use force when our vital national security interests were at risk but more ambiguous cases. and it's a fascinating document. i went back to the use of military force and you can find it easy enough on the internet. i'm not going to read all of the different passages. i will just highlight a few. the emphasis is in the original. this is a focus on combat troops. the first is the vital interests interest of our ally that is a critical consideration. we should commit to the mission wholeheartedly as a country that seems fairly reasonable, fairly obvious. again this is one of the outgrowths of the co

they were articulated first by former defense secretary cap weinberger who serve in the reagan administration. he said if you're going to put men and women in our armed services in harm's way, that we have to satisfy first that the issue is a direct national street threat to our country. second, we have to have a well-thought-out plan. i believe we have gotten into conflicts around the globe where the first criteria has not been adhered to, where we allowed mission creep. we've gone into nationbuilding, policing of the country, imposing governments, running public health systems in certain cases. roles that don't relate to our national security interest. they may be humanitarian but they're not a direct link to a national secret interests. i think a lot of americans are upset by the mission creep we saw in afghanistan and in iraq. second, we have to ensure that when we do use force that is part of a sensible, strategic approach to winning. that should not be a democrat or republican issue. i should be something where congress asks tough questions and isn't afraid to challenge perhaps their ow
