but i also think if you look at who the field is, you know, i'm someone who believes the lesser of twovils is less evil. and to me, she is by far -- at a certain point, it doesn't even really matter. she is so must certainly going to be the nominee. she is going to be leagues better than whoever she is running against on the republican party. as i said, she's the kind of can meleon-like candidate. she often bows to political pressure. the worst thing about her, but also opens opportunity for progressives who can try to, i think if they get organized, and try to work within the system as opposed to working is spoilers, exert pressure in the other direction. amy: kshama sawant, what about the argument, the candidate people are going to get to vote for in 2016, the lesser of two evils, argument? two evils. your with socialist alternative which is a third-party. many did not expect you would win a council seat in the seattle city council, but you did. what about that issue of the lesser of two evils? >> i think that is a very important question to examine. i want to start by first talking

i married a localruy buckingham county who had=m t ann set offer who fought in the civil,8éj and monthsngers and who afterward for various reasons was compelled, he was a bachelor, young guy +! was compelled to leave the country. and going back to bert's comment, reconstruction4bw these various surrenders it's a time of uncertaintyãça lot of southerners are very concerned. how are we going to be treated? will it be marshall law? are we going to be hungó6k as one of the generals seemed to hopedií that his solders would be? what's going to happen? and how long is marshallt÷r law going to last? are we ever going to have any measure of freedom again? so you have to kind of put@uçg yourself in thatz mindset to understand why there were these people who were desperate enough to leave the south, which they fought for desperately in many cases for several phdyears. so inq?9ky my wife'ssqñ an ses ters case, he got into some local trouble and through a mutual acquaintance discovered that there were virginians who were&f,, traveling to brazil and, in fact, this was not a virginia phenomenon. it wa

they know people who come to this country who want a better life, to work. why would we want those people not to be part of us part of this country so -- >> i think to a certain extent, it also depends upon where you're talking about. for example, in aurora, 8 of the 11 city council people are republicans. but if you turn it around, 12 of the 14 state representatives and state senators are democrats. and that's the same city. we had a congressman who engaged his opponent in a debate this last election entirely in spanish. so it's not as unusual, perhaps, in colorado. >> he was one of the few who voted against mike hoffman, you're referring to, in aurora. the vast majority of house republicans did vote to both not only to block the new executive order but to overturn doca as well. and he voted the other way, but only 26 even voted not to overturn docs. that experience that he is representing is very different than most of his colleagues. even in colorado you think about republicans at the federal level, more rural areas, dominant there. do you find kind of a

in here is gay and who's not. you know who is black in here. [laughter] and when somebody walks up to a hotel and says, i need an overnight stay, if you look at the person because of the color of their skin you say no. when somebody goes out to get a drink of water and says you can't drink the water fountain you are the wrong color, that is very different than a person sang the want to come in my store and do this is? come on in. i don't have the whether you're a homosexual or heterosexual you want to buy dinner, you want me to make up floral arrangement, you'll need to take a kid, you will need to take photographs at a graduation, the family reunion? no problem, but don't ask you to do something that violates my faith. that's very different than what black people faced during the era of slavery and segregation. and this not likened unto interracial marriage. because there is no biblical basis for denying two people of the same race the right to marry or the right to be together. that was concocted to justify the

are you worried about who you may offend and who may be outraged and write you up and lose you a job? >> i guess you have to now a days. we are in the outrage era. everyone gets offended by everything. where do you think good jokes come from? this is a guy who they are going after and he has done this for a longtime. it makes you want to take these so-called journalists down to an open mic. a suicide abortion joke extravaganza. these are not that bad. i think what he said was not anti-sametic and i foe trevor. i know trevor. he is always nice except for when he said the jews killed christ. other than that he was nice. >> i those it was handled perfectly. you do that, you point out the absurd tee of the pc police. you make it funny and make fun of them. i thought it was handled brilliantly. >> i thought his comedy was fantastic. i was awake last night when he did the tweet storm. i thought the one of 53 things -- i thought it was a joke. i thought that was part of the joke. when he got to the eighth tweet and it was clear he wasn't i muted him for a day. unless it is vin diesel tweetin

there are a number of young people who are disconnected who don't feel respected. so they don't know respect. they don't know love. they don't know taking care of the city and taking care of each other. they don't realize that. >> whose fault is that? >> our fault. my generation and those who are just below my generation who have not engaged enough with these young people, who have not put enough money into education, enough money into recreation and program for young people. it's our fault. and we are getting reaping what we've sown. again, only a few hundred people. only a few hundred young people. i would say that most of the kids from high schools and middle schools in our city do know. and are much better and in fact are very much a part of the community and support it. today's pictures are the real baltimore. not last night's pictures today's pictures of young people older people, in between, black, white out there, brown, out there on the streets cleaning up immediately after -- no fear with no fear. >> reporter: final question couple hours away from the sun

who does that? who fakes a visit to a coffee shop? are they going to vet everybody? >> we've been looking into this. a lot of campaigns do this. what they typically do is pick real people. then they vet them so the candidate doesn't to have sit down with some convicted felon to make sure this is an appropriate person for someone like hillary clinton to be sitting with. then they go forward. but this business of pulling out these specific campaign operatives. democratic operatives and then pawning them off as regular folks seems a little less common. >> i guess she doesn't want to be asked about her server by an ordinary american. this just shows that her own campaign is worried about her interaction with ordinary americans them don't even trust her to meet an ordinary american. you can't vet everybody you meet across the campaign trail. they'll be exhausted if they try to vet every single person they meet over the next 16 to 18 months. >> that gets to the heart of it. here we are, day five of her campaign. and they told me that commercial she came out with on sunday,

so that's who i am. and that's who i'll always be. because we're always a part of what our childhood was and who our parents are, right? apples. my mom is the single biggest influence in my life. today she's the single biggest influence in my life. i know that if she were alive today and were here for this her son in new hampshire at a town hall meeting talking about all these issues, the one -- she would say two things. first thing is little buddy, don't get too big for your britches, okay? i changed your diapers, i remember you when. don't you get too big with me. the second thing she'd say to me is in a trusting relationship, chris, you owe people everything that is in your heart. and in new jersey for right or for wrong, i've always given people everything i've got. >> he didn't just go after the democratic frontrunner. chris christie had this to say about jeb bush during another interview on wednesday. >> did you agree with the bush record, do you think the bush approach to foreign policy and domestic policy tracks with your own

who is this napoleon? eventually it turns out that a black man boy in new york in 1800 which 1800 which meant the law had been passed in 1799 for gradual emancipation. so he was not a slave exactly but had an apprenticeship of my 21 years to his owner until he became fully free and did that. the 1820s he finally becomes free. basically he is working in the office of sidney howard gay the anti- slavery office but his main job is to go and help fugitive slaves. he scours the docs. when william still when william still since people by train from philadelphia to new york louis napoleon goes and meets them at the train of the train depot and brings into his office and they are sent to abstain new york and canada. the interesting thing command he goes to court to get writs of habeas corpus for slaves who were brought to the state trying to get them free. use illiterate yet he is an activist. a remarkable guy and i knew nothing about him until i discovered him in the manuscript. in one case the lawyer says is thi

who enforces the law not as my colleague from texas has said, someone who is lawless. and let me tell you, this is a concern in my state. just this week, our u.s. attorney andy lugar indicted six people six people in the twin cities area that were plotting to go back to assist isis, to assist a terrorism group. so i care a lot about having an attorney general in place that actually knows how to handle these terrorism cases, that is going to lead the justice department and understand the importance of going after these cases. loretta lynch is exactly the type of tough and tested leader we need at the justice department to lead the effort. she has been endorsed by leaders ranging from the new york police commissioner. i don't know if my colleague from texas considers him lawless, to the president of the federal law enforcement officers association, the president of the international association of chiefs of police, alberto gonzalez at this time could vote on ms. lynch. rudy giuliani says it's time to confirm her. these are not people that my colleagues on the other side

so, the only guys who can afford to protect their lands are the guys who have money. what happens is people like thomas lincoln get forced out of kentucky. that is why the lincolns leave kentucky and they go -- to indiana, not to illinois. that is going to be later. indiana. this is a really important move for america's political system because indiana is protected by congress, the articles of confederation, actually. in 1787 under the northwest ordinance when the founding fathers first understood that they had a problem with kentucky. and they do it reacting to kentucky. and the northwest ordinance we tend to think of as prohibiting slavery which is one of the last things that ordinance does also the second thing it does is it prohibits primogeniture in these lands. it becomes the five states of the northwest in america. the reason for that is that they are determined that they are not going to end up with a system, an oligarchical system were a -- where a few wealthy men can take over the government, get, buy up the court system and pass laws that will only protect

somebody who has not talked. your name, please. mara: i am from wilmington, delaware and i have resources. i am a megan kelly fan. i think it is good to get both sources. i am a person who likes to go to television news mostly. and i think it is good to see both of them get the two stories and figure out how they kind of meat in the middle. that is usually where i find the truth lies. brian: why are you a megan kelly fan? mara: she is very strong. i think she reports the news with a lot of passion and conviction, and i think she is someone who is more bipartisan than other reporters he would see on fox news and msnbc or cnn. brian: in the remaining time we have, i would like to switch to one last topic. we have kind of talked about this, but i want you to kind of erase everything we have talked about. and ask you as individuals who you consider to be the most important mentor in your life. it does not have to be somebody this week certainly. it can be somebody who has made a difference in your life, and why. ben: i go to school in

those reporters chasing after their subject who remained so elusive, who despite the best efforts they cannot pin down the reporters there reminded me of the reporters here. remember this? the police. they look like the police. look at the police. the police did their best to try to capture and elusionive subject, and the reporters did the same. not comparing the subjects to one another, i want to underscore that. these reporters how embarrassing. >> i am so grateful i didn't have to chase the scooby doo van. and look the hyperventilation over every hillary hiccup is just cringe worthy. you see these sophisticated journalists, these experienced analysts saying well, she ordered the chicken burrito, was this a play for the latino vote. and now there's a new scandal emerging on twitter, didn't lee a tip at a fast food joint. that calls for a special prosecutor. it's humiliating to be put in this position of having to chase after these mere scraps that hillary is handing out to the press corps. >> right, and yet the reason that we are embarrassing ourselves like this is because where is h

are in front of us today who don't have a high school diploma who don't have a g.e.d.alks through our door, like daniel and many other who do, we learn more about what this group needs to be successful to graduate to go on to become a part of the labor force, to become part of those who are earning, you know secondary and post secondary credentials. and we're really fortunate to have this group of 30 about 30 really amazing educational programs that offer high school diploma and g.e.d. who we can communicate this back to and hopefully can continue to better serve this group of young people. >> you turn no one away. even if a 30-year-old walks through the door you find a way to help? >> we have a no turn away policy. >> d.c. government, customer service says that, we won't turn anyone away. if anyone walks through our door we'll find a way to assist them. we'll call up some partners that serve the 30-year-old population and say, hey we had someone visit us today we'd like to send them your way. they welcome them with open arms. but it's district government policy to pro

disability insurance who have hiv. so i'm assuming that the long-term effect -- i can't do the math in my head, i'm trying to find the number --. >> so this 6 1/2 million, would you expect that to continue at that level? >> it will probably decrease after the bulk of people who are approaching retirement age now retire. >> supervisor wiener, i think one of the things we looked at, if you look at slide 10, you look at how we saw the increments of these 1200 people coming on to services. over the next 15 years we did see some increase in services. now, one of the things that we couldn't calculate would be the morbidity. some people might actually leave the city or die or something else and they would no longer require services but our estimate went out 15 years. we just wanted to focus on the first five. >> and of course our hope is that as they turn 65 they have another 30 or 40 years ahead of them, but of course we're also learning a lot about what it means to be hiv positive in 70, 89, a lot of this is slightly unchar

for those who support, (202) 748-8000. those who oppose, (202) 748-8001 .e will start on that line for those who support. john is in industry, pennsylvania. caller: good morning. thank you for having me. i am a military veteran of a drone program and i do support the use of drones, not just because i was part of a squadron but because i feel like there is a stigma attached to it that is unfair in comparison to the rest of the weapons we use in the military. the squadron i was with in the marine corps, we were essentially surveillance. we painted a target for artillery and nobody thought twice about that. about dropping artillery on the enemy and the drone was simply the window of where to shoot. now they are having an issue with the fact that the drone is there taking a picture and shooting the weapon. i don't hear a lot of comparison about the civilians or the innocent people that are killed with artillery or any other weapon we had in the military in comparison to drones. it is more the stigma about the fact that the drone shot the artillery or whatever i

you have a son who is you adopted, who were born in korea.in the commercial, you were saying people may not understand you have to go through a whole process as a parent. >> he came over with a korean passport. e we brought him over and three months later, we had to file for his citizenship and had a hearing. until then, he was still a korean citizen. at that point, he became a u.s. citizen. so clearly there are a number of other things that if the parents are not adopting in good faith u can make these terribly inhumane situations that adam faces. >> when you say inhumane citizens this is part -- this is a story i think we often don't know about immigration, but i just keep thinking does i.c.e. have nothing better to do? the inhumanity of i.c.e. is so regularly exposed to us. >> this is their job, this is what congress tells them that their job is. so deporting people is good business for i.c.e. the way i.c.e. is structured, their budget depends on deporting people from the united states. so even if it's inhuman, as it is in this case that's

and in fact, you're going to be the ones who are doing it. >> you who receive the offerings for the altarhink that they're following god. they think that they're serving jesus. they've been misled all this time. >> the message of the gospel of judas is not simply that jesus is betrayed by judas in his lifetime but that his teachings are being betrayed after his death. >> the author of the gospel of judas is angry, but he's not angry at the events that transpired in the first century between jesus and judas. he's angry at church leaders in the second century. >> the gospel of judas is critical of all the disciples of jesus, frankly. and these disciples are standing as kind of ciphers. they're symbols of the orthodox church of the second century. >> it seems that it's written as a criticism of mainstream christians who are engaged in worships that are led by bishops or clerics of one kind or another. and the authors of this text, they don't like that kind of clericalism. they don't like that kind of religious service. and they are strongly discouraging people from participating in it. >> th

he portrayed an ex-soldier who stayed on. i took the role of a union officer who was stationed in appomattox on provoes duty after the surrender. he and i were companions in trying to learn more about the events that took place on the retreat. and one of the areas that i was particularly interested in was the battle of sailor's creek. sailor's creek actually became a state park in 1936. and efforts were made to purchase more land for the park and to have it become a national park. but something happened like world war ii came along and impetus was lost. after the war when things started looking up there was a particular congressman who was from appomattox county abbott. guess who got the national park appomattox. sailor's creek pretty much languished for the next couple of decades until finally in 2008 july of 2008 sailor's creek which had been just a satellite to a nearby recreational park called twin lakes and they administered the land and one historic building on the property the hillsman house. those who see us this afte

i only know the ones who liked it. [laughter] now that doesn't mean that a lot of other people don't hate it although the ones who have expressed hate, not to me personally but in some publications are all laypeople. they want the priest to tell them what the to do more than the priest wants to tell them. at least the ones i know. they knew i was not attacking the priesthood. see what happens now is that catholics come to church on sunday and there's no priest to say well let's get out of here. that would not have happened in augustine's church. he had taught them you are the people of god and when bread and wine are put on the off altar they are you. receive what you are, the body of christ. so priests are very nice. most of them i like it and they make contributions but the idea that the spirit only transcends for this one conduit pope bishop to priest if that were true all of the protestants would be without god. they don't have the right channel. >> thank you so much [applause]. >> this weekend the c-span cities to

who are the women throughout history who were in this role that really made a difference?that people should spend more time to find more out about them? >> eleanor roosevelt. i do think that you could find anybody who fits that title more than eleanor roosevelt. this is a woman who was well-educated, had real serious concerns about where the country was. was married to the most powerful man in the country. in the world perhaps. but she had her own agenda. she was riding writing news columns. she was doing radio show. she was a newsreels. she was defined the dar resigning her membership. she was a member of the board of the naacp. she's doing her own thing and so it may be that there's never been a first lady before or since like her, i think she sort of standalone, what she was able to accomplish. as her own self, not just as the extension of her husband and her husband interest, which he was able to accomplish on their own. >> carl cannon? >> i would sit eleanor roosevelt. for all these reasons and i'll give a couple other examples. roosevelt was courting southern democra

you know, there are people who served as xos or people who are doing -- number two roles or people who are in holes that were really from an hr standpoint, from a human resources standpoint supposed to be reserved for men only. but their commanders would say this doesn't make any sense, you're the best person for, it we're going to leave the paperwork blank and one gal said, yeah i'm going to have such bad language on c-span. one gal said yeah, i looked like a sh i am tbagitbag for two years because it looked like she had done nothing when she was in a job that was only supposed to be filled by men. i think it's a story -- you can say what you will but there is so much leadership that went on in terms of people saying i know what the regulations are but this is war that we're fighting and you have to be innovative and you need the best people. and so they were using the best people that they had and they were trying to give them opportunities and i really do think it's the stories of leaders who were trying to be as flexible as they could given the rules. just like the attached thing.

but there is a retaliation against those who point out problems or threats, punishing agents who question really anything and on the other hand promoting management who goes along to pretend that the secret service is not vulnerable. so it is a corrupt culture and you saw an example of that when julia pierson, the director claims after this that he was stopped at the door that he was not armed, that was a total lie. how could any agency put out a lie like that and think that they could get away with it. and when it came out that that was not true, the new director joseph clancy, he was asked about that adhering and whether anyone would be held accountable for issuing that information and that was just an error. and they said how do you know it is an error, and they said i don't know how this happened and number one to be the director and number two, how can anyone on the lower level trust someone like that, how could they trust him stop this very corrupt culture how could you trust them with any information at the secret service today. >> host: out of the culture developed? >> guest: it s

the people who have skin in the game are the people who actually live there.s long as they are outside the government and they feel disfranchised, they are going to be a thorn in any iraqi government that is formed. host: how far away are we from any sort of reconciliation with the color is hoping for here? guest: the caller is absolutely right. this is what president obama should be really pushing for. it reminds me about what a manager in baseball says when he comes to the mound. i want to keep the ball down. what do you think i've been trying to do this whole game. you bet i am trying to do outreach to the sunnis. i get that. i know that has to happen. the problem is not every sunni what's to be outraged by the shia. there needs to be some pressure on the sunnis to realize the reality that they are in a country that is 60% shia. the 20% are used to running the place. if he can become nelson mandela, he understood that he wanted the 20% of south africa, the white south africans, to the part of the future of the country. he won the nobel peace prize for succe

but she also is who she is. she can't reinvent herself, she is who she is. >> we actually just received the video, so let's play it and then let's talk again on the other side of it. >> i'm getting ready for a lot of things. a lot of things. it's spring so we're starting to get the gardens ready and my tomatoes are legendary here in my own neighborhood. >> my daughter is about to start kindergarten next year so we're moving just so she can belong to a better school. [ speaking spanish ] >> after five years of raising my children i am now going back to work. >> every day we're frying to get more and more ready and more prepared. >> a big boy coming your way. >> right now i'm applying for jobs it's about what the real world will look like after college. >> i'm getting married this summer to someone i really care about. >> i'm going to be in the plan i'm going to be in a class room. >> i'm getting ready to retire soon. >> retirement means reinventing yourself in many ways. >> we have been doing a lot of home renova

calhoun who's 23.ts have been temporarily suspended. neither as a criminal record, according to our green room, and yet they have been arrested. one has posted bond, $50,000. the other has not. and now there may be more perpetrators and on looklookers. onlookers, dane fa. >> right. these guys' lives are over. they may not have had criminal records before but if they go through with the investigation find these guys are guilty as it appears to be on the tape their lives are over and the onlookers, you know, i'm not familiar with what the law would allow in something like this, but how can you not realize that something -- and you showed on the tape, megyn, they're just steps away. >> right. >> they're all partying and worried about spilling their flat overpriced beer. there's a woman being assaulted steps away from them. this is such an indictment of american society. we have a problem as a nation with this. and we need to stop, like, promoting this stuff in culture on mtv, vh1 acting like this is a gre

who could broker a peace agreement between the two? it was, of course, burt reynolds. >> he called and he said, these people are friends of mine, please have tammy talk to hillary. i said, okay. for you, i'm going to do that. so i put tammy on the phone. >> things didn't end there. >> the country singer demanded an apology from mrs. clinton, and today she got one. >> hillary clinton sat down for a prime time interview to tell the nation just how sorry she was. >> here's a question you tried to deal with the other night. why are you standing by him? >> and your reply was something to the effect you're not some little woman just standing by her man like tammy wynette, i must tell you, tammy wynette is hopping mad. >> and i'm sorry about that, and i apologized to tammy wynette if what i said offended her, i would not feel as strongly as i do that he is the right man to be president in this country at this time if i personally believed anything other than that. so my standing by him or for him. >> you are standing by him? >> of course, we'

out of the settlement or who are in the settlement who need that money now.hey are alzheimer's disease and various brain deceases are so advance that their families need this money for expenses now. this is. >> they were able to get a sweet hard deal and not pay nearly as much money as these people might need. but the need for money immediately has worked into the what the informal would need to pay. >> there is no way to cover everything that it needs to cover. because no one knows exactly what it needs to cover. and i latch but i don't say it at this point plantly because people argue all the time that nfl players should know the risks of playing the game. but when i talk to people at john's hopkins, yale harvard they don't know all the extensive things that could happen to the brain as a football player. the research is zoo fan and the game changes so much that there is no way that the league could know the players don't know because frankly brain scientists don't know. no one knows the extent of how that would effect a person. somebody has mobility issues

i often turn to my mother who still lives here and ask her, how did you do it. one of the answers as to how we do it is with quality child care and preschool which we were lucky enough to find at the south of market child care which -- i've served as the care and the fundraising care of the parent advisory committee there and through my involvement in the center over the past two and a half year, i have learned a lot about the challenges that the other challenges that the staff and teachers face. i began my service as the san francisco youth commission back in 1998 and after coming back to the city, after getting my undergraduate and graduate degrees, i worked as a deputy city attorney, i'm looking forward nr this role to serving the city again and particularly addressing the need for quality early childhood education and child care for all of the children in san francisco, i understand it's a huge need, i understand that personally and also, you know, through being involved in the city in numerous ways. if you have any questions, i would be happy to address the

who is her man? harry connick jr., the new simon, blasting a contest. >> for you to say that highly disrespectful. >> renee's with j lo after the show breaking news of her new movie. >> the title, what does it allude to? >>> the new "star wars." >> we're home. >>> and naomi campbell sitting down with tracey opening up about the "empire" sex scenes. >> we got on a pool table and made out the first day. >> this is the entertainment capital of l.a.

>> if you had somebody as president who wanted to take america down, who wanted to fundamentally weaken our position in the world reduce our past influence of events, turn our back on our allies and encourage your adversaries it would look exactly like what barack obama is doing. >> jon: i-- wah-- is barack obama a traitor? i don't-- wah-- ( laughter ) i don't know if he's-- wah-- a traitor but he does a great impression of a traitor. wah. ( laughter ) but basically the vice president's point appears to be this-- anyone who strengthens the strategic position of iran is by definition working to weaken the united states of america. so i guess the formulation would be whoever strengthened iran more would be the greater threat to america. using dick cheney's own metric as our baseline, can we uncover a greater threat to america than even barack obama? well, we find out in tonight's nail-biting installment of... ♪ ♪ ♪ ( cheers ) >> jon: thank you for joining me in the library mr. vice president. ( laughter ) mr. vice president. ( laughter ) represented here by a balloon with a frowny face dr

and now they have to pay more than the people who broke the law. who broke american laws? it doesn't make sense. >> so now we have people who came here legally who went through the immigration legally behind the illegals. that's why we need immigration reforms. these people are going to be more productive contributors to our economy if we educate them. college graduates earn 60% more than high school graduates. they contribute over 80% more. >> you're making the case -- >> and everyone -- >> wait. >> you want to justify the law. you want to justify illegal with economics. let's have everybody rob banks. that's good for the system too. i mean what are you, nuts? >> wayne everyone you want to be besmirch as jumping the line, as illegal -- >> whoa whoa whoa. okay. jonathan, finish your thought. >> well, they would come in legally if there was a system -- people want to jump over the -- and commit crimes. they want to come legally. they want to participate in the american dream. but i think it's pretty disingenuous to say come legally and make a system literally impossible for

, who enforces the law, not, as my colleague from texas has said, someone who is lawless. and let me tell you, this is a concern in my state. just this week, our u.s. attorney andy lugar indicted six people, six people in the twin cities area that were plotting to go back to assist isis, to assist a terrorism group. so i care a lot about having an attorney general in place that actually knows how to handle these terrorism cases, that is going to lead the justice department and understand the importance of going after these cases. loretta lynch is exactly the type of tough and tested leader we need at the justice department to lead the effort. she has been endorsed by leaders ranging from the new york police commissioner. i don't know if my colleague from texas considers him lawless, to the president of the federal law enforcement officers association, the president of the international association of chiefs of police, alberto gonzalez at this time could vote on ms. lynch. rudy giuliani says it's time to confirm her. these are not people that my colleagues on the other side

clearly there are some who favor providing visas to those individuals who are considered investors, who would invest in the economy, who are going to create jobs, who are going to help us in terms of our economic outlook. and i don't disagree with about totally but i do also think that we need to make room for family unification as the archbishop mentioned, because all of these individuals who are already in this country who are doing work that none of us would do today the work that none of us would do today, these individuals are here doing this, striving to deserve a place, a spot in this great country, striving to live this american dream, and are having their dreams, their aspirations derailed by some individuals who seem to not understand what time it is. all right? let me just close with reminding all of us, something i love to say, but i'm also careful in the way i say it because i don't want anyone to misquote me. i like to think that the american immigration system is probably the only ponzi scheme that works, right? to the extent that, right, you come to this country as an im

[laughter] so who, who are you aiming this at? >> guest: that's a great question. it's for the public policymakers and in this case public policymakers are voters. so it's for both. i was just in colorado. we did a big public forum out there in depp very and someone said -- denver and someone said well, you know, these hippies, these potheads, they forced this on us. this was decided by people in suits, if you will. i mean, big money is in here too. let's face that, we'll get into that. but, no, this was decided by i assume well-meaning public servants and some people or who are enthralled to, you know financial interests and others who just genuinely believe this is a good thing to do. but it wasn't it wasn't some takeover by, you know, by the pot-smoking lobby. it was something done by citizens in their i hope deliberative process but not deliberative enough. >> host: so in your rendition of this, first of all, let me ask you why do you think public attitudes on marijuana usage have changed so dramatically? >> guest: several things. one, a very smart and well fin

i'm getting interested in this book from tech companies who believe that they are the ones who are going to release the burden of testing by making it invisible. i was talking to a tech company last week and they said they are lobbying a large state to do an experiment that would do away with tests in favor of five questions a day. five questions a day over the course of the year knowing site he. this is a low stage thing that's important in the nature of the questions could change from student to student so you get a more adoptive model of student learning. you have important topics and material that you can cover in many ways to learn more about what they know. and they're also looking at is the next level with a certain set of questions could a teacher created an activity that would satisfy that question for that construct such that you would have to ask these given questions but you could have a teacher created assessment to supply a definition as well. the path of least resistance doesn't make for better teaching and learning but when you get these kinds of problems as long as you h

the woman who wanted to be named who had been raped.here has been a agreement for many years we won't name adults and only this one case -- >> only crime. >> that's the exception because we want to protect them. for understandable reasons. a horrible crime. the worst sort of crime. violent, invasive in every way because we wanted to protect them we won't name names. i believe it resulted in underreported. it's robbed our reporting of credibility. i think it lead directly into what the rolling stone did. they did a completely unsourced, essentially, piece, and the editor suspended her best journalist judgment and said we're going to go along with this and jackie's request we not talk to the assail i can'ts? that creates an unbelievable situation which fights the claims of people who say women are making this stuff up. >> right. it was a 9,000 word story. the report is a 12,000 word story. speaking to student alex pink lton. her concern now is people's impressions are still when they think about rape they think about the rape that jackie

>> who is. >> i assume they were people who lived there.re were people gathered on door steps in front of homes and people in windows and groups of younger people in front of some of those building that started chucking bottles at us. i don't know who they were. they were in the neighborhood and they didn't want us to be there. >> what's the average age of the people that you have been confronting who are protesting not that people are trying to help, what's the average age of the protests? there are little kids out here and older people and young men in their teens and l cross section of the community. i would say that the agitators, the ones who are causing the most trouble were definitely teenagers and young adults. >> all right guys, we really appreciate it you are both doing excellent job out there and it's dangerous. >> thank you. >> we really appreciate your professionalism and your bravery. one footnote tomorrow the baltimore orioles will play the chicago white sox at can item yards. there are not going to be any fans in the park. t

charlie: a pope who is a christian. a pope who wants to follow in the way of christ.arry: exactly. i love that he is trying to avoid the trappings, the palace, the fancy shoes and all those things. and the name. he came in second at the conclave that chose benedict. he was asked at the time, if he was chosen, what name would he have taken? he said john xxiv. well, he has had time to think since then and he has come up with a much more radical name. francis was not even a priest. he was so radical that his followers, immediate followers tried to tame his message as soon as he died. they split off into various observances as to how harsh and christlike his life was. when francis does not want to get all dressed up in all that regalia, pope francis -- i think when my wife and i looked at the robe that st. francis wore, it was a patched, raggedy robe. i think this pope if he could do it would wear it. charlie: the interesting thing when you talked about when you said wounded in battle that you first treat the wounds was his idea that we have some very important things her

who knows. ahead on the "#mediabuzz," robert menendez indicted for bribery and some claim the obama administration is engaging in political pay back. but first harvey weinstein accused in a groping incident. >>> harvey weinstein was interviewed by police as last week after a womaning a accused her of groping her breasts and putting his hand up a skirt during a meeting. and then the new york "post" went after the italian model with the story saying she accepted tickets to attend a show and she once filed a suit against a, quote, sugar daddy. her camp striking back in the daily news saying she's not afraid of harvey. joining us now from new york, amy holmes. big spread in the daily post. does the new york "post" in your view trash the italian model on harvey weinstein's behalf? >> i think there is no doubt that the new york "post" has been running with the story of attacking the accuser, oh, and bhi by the way, exploiting those photos of her for their own gain. it seems to be saying look at this l

eligibility for athletes who needed a break or who were not particularly strong students, or weren't inclined to do university work, or for whatever rope maybe they were con cussed maybe they were injured, they needed the team. debbie and julia found them the time they needed by passing them through these particular courses. but it's important to point out as we do in the book, that department was not the only department that was involved in bending or lowering or ignoring academic standards. there were plenty of other fact and i planety of other departments who bent to the pressures that are invariably exerted by an athletic enterprise at a big-time sport university. courses and faculty, particular factually and philosophy and geography and french and a few other places offered courses that were essentially functioned as free rides for athletes. and they used that slate of courses to keep these athletes on track academically, and on the field, where they're coach kadzhaya their physical labors. we lad hoped actually to show you couple of graphics that would illustrate how this worke
