his sermon was going to be, why america may go to hell. he didn't say america was going to hell. he said why america may go to hell. his thesis was that if we don't start to deal with this triple threat that he called it, the triple threat of racism, poverty, and militarism, we are simply going to lose our democracy. this democracy is not sustainable. he was right then and sure enough right now. if we don't start to get deal with the racism, poverty and militarism, we going to slide into hell. so martin was wanted to preach a sermon called, why america may go to hell you tell the average american that the "i have a dream" man said, america may good to hell, and they can't just to pose those two things -- just to pose those two things -- i say we don't know who dr. king was bus we don't know how he had to navigate that last dark and difficult year of his life, when he had to walk the last mile all by himself. you say, by himself. on april 4, 1967, dr. king steps inside the riverside church in manhattan, and he gives a speech, april 4, 1967, called "beyond vietnam." in that speech

the sermon was going to be on sunday morning but why america may go to hell. he didn't say america was going to hell. he said why america may go to hell. if we don't start to deal with this triple threat as he called it the triple threat of racism, poverty and militarism we are simply going to lose our democracy. this democracy is not sustainable. he was right then and he is sure enough right now. if we don't start dealing with racism poverty and militarism that is hurting this country we are going to slide into hell. martin was going to preach a sermon the average american that they have a dream man said america may go to hell they can juxtapose those two things. this is what i mean when we say i've we don't know who dr. king was. we don't know how he had to navigate that dark and difficult year of his life when he had to walk that last mile of the way all by himself. on april 4, 196067 dr. king steps inside the riverside church in manhattan and he gives a speech called beyond vietnam. in that speech dr. king calls america his country, your country, my country

and he goes through all the reasons saying why america and iran are not so different. r him in prison and said to him why is an american spy talking to you if you're not a spy. and mazzir said why does an american spy have a television show. and i believe it went downhill from there. [laughter] >> is that not an evil thing for iran to have done? >> the evil is relatively rare. ignorance is epidemic. i would qualifier that as ig innovator, yet not necessarily evil. and within the film we show a broad swap of iranian society to show how complex and nuanced and textured it actually is. iranian is not now, i know you've spoken about this before that you very much want america to be the only country. and05dp i have to tell you ... >> stephen: there is america and then there are countries. >> i understand that. it's an admirable plan. but rather than, and again we haven't really had a chance to sit down and hash this out. rather than killing everybody else, what if we were to coexist with them in some type of fashion. >> it looks like a bumper stitcher that people have. >> no

host: we want to welcome back aaron david miller, with his new book, "the end of greatness: why americaan't have (and doesn't want) another great president." explain. guest: very simple. spine against presidential greatness in our system. we do not want another great president because presidential greatness is driven by one thing if you thing only, so, want another great president, buckle your seatbelt because you will have a crisis that is relentless, inescapable, and very risky. host: we will talk more. i want to read one excerpt as we begin christmas day week. you write, great presidents continue to hover -- -- it is a sense of sober of knowledge meant that the nature of the political system is changing, the nature of the way we appreciate greatness in our own politics has changed. the absence of shared responsibility, shared sacrifice, it makes it very difficult to imagine greatness in a president if we cannot in essence imagine greatness in ourselves. that is not a message people want to hear, but it is a realistic one. i do not think the country is in danger of collapse. i have a

the sermon was going to be on sunday morning but why america may go to hell. he didn't say america was going to hell. he said why america may go to hell. if we don't start to deal with this triple threat as he called it the triple threat of racism, poverty and militarism we are simply going to lose our democracy. this democracy is not sustainable. he was right then and he is sure enough right now. if we don't start dealing with racism poverty and militarism that is hurting this country we are going to slide into hell. martin was going to preach a sermon the average american that they have a dream man said america may go to hell they can juxtapose those two things. this is what i mean when we say i've we don't know who dr. king was. we don't know how he had to navigate that dark and difficult year of his life when he had to walk that last mile of the way all by himself. on april 4, 196067 dr. king steps inside the riverside church in manhattan and he gives a speech called beyond vietnam. in that speech dr. king calls america his country, your country, my country

event why america may go to hell. but why they may go to hell. because they don't see that triple threat of racism we will lose our democracy so why america may go to hell. you tell the average american that i have said dream that america may go to hell this is what i made when i say we don't know. but he had to walk at last won all by himself. april 4, 1967 he went to the riverside church in manhattan to give a speech called beyond vietnam. in that speech he calls our country the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today. that is a strong indictment the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today. also from the nobel peace prize but also in the '60s in america with a black man. black man who has been called a communist offering anti-american rhetoric with the greatest purveyor of violence in the world. you can imagine that did not sit well with a lot of people. and every media outlet had turned on him over night. i live in hollywood. but then to become a success overnight. there is no such thing. you can grow up to be a success overn

his fear he is why america can't have and doesn't want another great president. this is an interesting insight. we will have a full hour with him. you say you are about the same this year. caller: when you start looking at the government pumping money into our economy every month, i think the good news we hear is a house of cards. i keep my expenses low. you have to look at the middle class, it's getting squeezed out of existence. host: we will go to row who says he is better off. he is joining us from knoxville tennessee. caller: good morning. i am fixing to go to the service station and buy some gas. it seems to me like i save about a dollar a gallon from what it was last year. host: how is it in knoxville? caller: there is a service station about a block away from a house and you can get it for $2.23. this time last year it was around $3.25. i don't understand the american people. that's instant money. it goes into your pocket you can spend this christmas. most people just knock obama. the unemployment rate is below 6%. the stock market is booming. what is goo

host: the book, "the end of greatness: why america can't have and doesn't want another great president," by author aaron david miller, thank you very much for being with us guest: steve >> thank you. host: we will go back to the question we asked in the first 415 minutes of our program. that is: are you better off about, about the same, or worse off in 2014 as the president talks about jobs and the economy and his goals for the next year. we want to have you assess where you are this year. lines are open at 202-7418-8000 for those who say you are bet he off. if you are worse off 202-7418-8001. about the same, 202-7418-8002. we will get to your calls in just a moment. but first, we want to check in as we always do on ones is nancy of c-span radio studios to check on the other sunday morning programs, all of which can be heard on c-span radio. nancy, good morning. >> good morning, steve. topics on today's sunday t.v. talk shows include normalizing american/cuban relations, computer hacking at sony pictures entertainment and north korea' a's involvement. the shooting deaths of two new yor

and that means he's got an answer for why america has shifted.of these innovations and indeed -- take a look in the middle here. what is another innovation he doesn't like? >> movies. >> movies. they are obscene. they are portraying wicked values. by the way, movies have been portraying wicked values since the beginning of movies in the country. but who is to blame for that? the jews. that is not to say that jews have no -- there were jews in the film industry, but he suddenly is able to blame jews for yet another element he doesn't like and what makes this so very frightening -- much more frightening in some ways than the protocols of the elders of zion, because the protocols of the elders of zion were so vague. what's going on here? >> he is showing specifics. >> he is offering specifics. and people can read the specifics and say, oh. the specifics are right. the generalization must be right. that is always a danger when you generalize from an example. just because so-and-so is a jew certainly does not mean that all jews are like so-and-so. but

perspective, consider this on al jazeera america >>> sony does an about-face on "the interview", and christmas day release, and great economic news for the white house, why is president obama not getting credit. america's effort to rein in ebola proving successful. i'll adam may in for antonio mora, welcome to "consider this", those stories and more ahead. intervi interview. >> war in the cyber world is becoming a serious issue. >> there's an ongoing war of words between washington and pyongyang after the sony hacking scandal. >> we cannot give in to threats tore intimidation. >> the world health organisation says 1700 have died from ebola. >> as long as there's one case, there's the possibility of transmission. >> the u.s. economy grew. >> you may not know it if you listen to the people streaming. >> in france authorities deploy 300 security forces. >> a series of attacks leaving one dead and 30 injured. >> authorities don't see a section. connection. >> n.a.s.a. is thinking of building a city floating in the clouds above veep us. -- vine us. >>> we begin with a series of cyber skirmishes. could it trigger a cyber war. in south korea the president blame

president obama has to explain to these people who suffered in the hands of castro why america has decided to grant cuba demand and release cuban prisoners for what we are getting in return. many americans will be happy to so the return of allen gross. as senator menendez said it is putting a high price on americans abroad and might encourage the capture of americans so they can be traded for something political as has been done here? >> aaron, will it help the democrats? >> polls are old on this issue at this point. five years ago, washington post and abc news poll showed two- third of the people wanted relations and less for lifting the embargo cho which we are not talking about right now. and on the surface there appears to be support for doing this. but when it happens, and when president obama is involved and all of the machinations occur things can change. republicans are lining up and once they make the argument that this is appeasing a communist regime this will resonate with the people open to diplomacy. >> and two conflicting views from jeb bush and hillary clinton. the former go

later, why america's economy taking a hit from a declining number of babies. ♪ >> ...people ready then. >> mr. president >> who should answer for those people >>> a third of the world's billionaires live in america according to forbes magazine. while not are all politically active, many are spending big bucks. charles and david koch are the biggest spenders but they are just two of the well known billionaires who have spent billions of dollars to benefit mostly republican. jors soros is one of the leftists who have put their money behind the democrats. i am joined by darrell west, vice president and director of governance studies at the bro brookings institution. bill yon airs, flex on the upper crust. good to have you with us. you quote forbes that american billionaires who controlled a trillion dollars in assets 10 years ago have seen fortunate more than double since then. they feel a lot to spend on the candidates and the issues that they care about. but there has always been wealthy people interested in influencing politics. is today any different than the past? >> today is differe

there's a reason why your mascot is the flame, because it was the flame that came down on the day of pentacost. it was the flame that ronald reagan talked about as america, the shining city that sets upon a hill. that's why we need you to go out and be champions for christ and country. because the flame that you are being trained to carry here will mean nothing if when you leave this institution, you take it and you put it out. that's not the purpose of you attending here. the purpose for you attending here is that you will be the next generation, the beacon of liberty, the beacon of freedom, the beacon of democracy. on september the 17th, 1787, the today that our united states constitution -- the day that our united states constitution was signed in philadelphia, benjamin franklin walked out of constitution hall. he was met by a woman by the name of mrs. powell. well known philadelphia socialite. mrs. powell, a very bold woman, came up and said, well, dr. franklin, what is it that we have? a republic or a monarchy? franklin replied, a republic if you can keep it. you have a challenge, students of liberty university. there are two lights. there's a flam

this is why america thinks washington stinks. because when you do this kind of thing, it's just malfunction in the government. >> absolutely. >> it's bad. >> angela, you were trying to get in. >> yeah, i just think that the point that jimmy raised is exactly why the president and the white house is saying that we do need to go ahead and take this measure. the problem is, we've seen this play over and over again. they were mad earlier because the president exercised too much authority. they said there were too many executive actions. he has signed the least number of executive orders in history as a president. so there's no win here. i just want them to say, we want to work with you, there are some great things in this measure, but the policy writers, shame on me for being that way in d.c., but i would love to see that happen out of this congress so they don't take that very bad habit into next congress. >> democrats should not bail. >> i've got to go. i feel there's going to be a long night and certainly it's not going to be a bo

robert cap lal kaplan, the chief strategy and why america was responding the way it was. >> russia comprises half the land mass, and yet has less population than bangladesh. putin knows it has been invaded by swedes, lithuanians and poles. foreign policy for russia is always looking for targets of opportunity not to recreate the soviet union. , soviet union collapsed because of the financial burden of actually ruling places like ukraine and the warsaw pacts what he wants to do is recreate the soviet sphere of influence. >> i think that's right. they have to worry about what might happen down the road. even if they don't face immediate dangers right now they have to wonder what might happen in the future. and remember, over the past 20 years, russia has seen nato gradually moving its borders easteastward. given that history and geographic location, i think the way about right and the contrast with the united states couldn't be sharper. >> but steve why is nato a concern for russia? no one assumes or thinks that nato would actually invade russia or for that matter even ukraine. >> well of cour

described in this report significantly undermean the moral authority of the united states of america. that's why the president, on his send full day here at the white house issued an executive order ending those tactics. the other thing that the president did, there's not been a lot of discussion of the lately. i wanted to call it to your attention, the president also threw -- through an executive action asked that the department of justice and 0 a couple other agencies conduct a review of the way that the u.s. government interrogates those individuals who are in u.s. custody. he also urged this task force to conduct a review of the way that individuals who are in u.s. government custody are handled and in some cases transferred to other countries. the outcome of the review that was lead by a career prosecutor identified a couple of things. the first is, he concluded, i think this was in august of 2009. he concluded that the army field manual and army techniques were sufficient guidance for u.s. personnel who are conducting interrogations. that was clear they could use. he also suggested the cre

later, why america's economy taking a hit from a declining >> a dirty deal. struck at the heart of government. >> egypt mismanaged its gas industry. >> taking the country to the brink of economic ruin. >> it's obvious that egypt was being ripped off. it's basically saying to the israelis, "look if you want to screw us, here's a tool you can use to screw us". >> al jazeera exposes those who made a fortune betraying an entire nation. >> you don't feel that you owe an explanation to the egyptian people? >> no... no... >> al jazeera investigates. egypt's lost power. december 17th. 10:00 eastern. on aljazeera america. former fbi special agent ali soufan. >> if that specific information was shared with to the fbi agent 911 could have been stopped at its early stages. >> the ethics of torture, preventing terrorism and combatting isil. >> islamic state, their strategy differs from al qaeda because for the first time now they are controlling land. >> every saturday join us for exclusive, revealing and surprising talks with the most interesting people of our time. >> o

why? >> america is build on trial by jury. we all have been pushing for video cameras. if there was any case that clearly showed a possible crime committed by a cop, it was this one here. >> what was the crime committed by the cop? what is the difference between a criminal act and an officer taking down a person who he believed was resisting arrest. >> let me be clear. i don't think officer pantelea went in to the situation trying to kill eric garner, but this is something that you need to be well versed in. so when my son dies, i don't want to hear that there was an accident. that's what minorities are constantly hearing when there is police-minority interaction and someone is dead. oh, there is a mistake. i was performing my duty. that's not flying. we need a transparent criminal justice system where these police officers are put on trial. if they win in trial, fair. but i if you have secret grand juries and no indictment, that's not good. >> you were a police officer serving in the field. i would imagine it's an extremely pressure-filled job to be in a situation like

. >> we're talking about why america became the global economic power that it is.ore the value of having all this free labor, or is it the value created by trading and selling human beings. >> it's both of those things. it's both the astoppish product productive -- both the astonishing productive in the cotton field spawned by torture and one other thing, people around the world wanted to invest in this system, not directly, but indirectly they found ways to invest their capital in the form of credit in the expansion of slavery, britain, france, germany, netherlands, northern united states are sending credit to the south because they know they will get a powerful return on itful so the profits from slavery go out to the rest of the world. the credit the investment allows the united states to help it build its economy greater and greater. >> in the book you seem to challenge the great leader 2450e9 theory of history what is the most misunderstood part of lincoln's legacy do you think. >> that's a great question. we argue a lot about lincoln. many are skeptical of th

he sent free copies to every library in america and these were very very cheaply produced books. whyu think he produced them cheaply? why are we interested that he produced them cheaply? but the fact that they were very cheap meant what? >> that he wanted everyone to have access to them. >> yeah. this isn't a book for the elite. anybody can afford to get the four volumes of henry ford and he's sending free copies to many many people, and in fact, every ford showroom had available these books. this will help you to understand why many jews refuse to buy ford products in those days because the publications and the automobile were closely linked. now, i gave you out some material, just photocopies from these books. the table of contents, take a look at them and tell me, you know, what we learned. i mean, even from the very title, what do we make of this? this title? some of you have it, i would start this way. what do you make of this title? >> the international jew, it's saying it's a world problem, so it's saying that not only are jews a problem in america but jews are everywhere and

why. america's allies have spent a very long time, years in some cases. least not made public this this report. i have gone through the report and it is a hefty document. this is just the summary. a lot of it has been redacted. you can see large sections that have been plaqued out. i can find no mention of a single american ally in here. i think true to their word, america has managed to keep the role of some of the countries out of this report. more than 50 countries were implicated in the cia program, 25 of them in europe. poland in particular has been exposed by european court by being the host country for some of these prison sites. this report will be an embarrassment to the western alliance. it challenges the moral high ground that they had since 9/11. russia and china will be able to accuse them of hypocrisy. how care you challenge us when it's clear that you have been doing it. in some respects it is a blow to the alliance. >> we looked at the open society map of all of the countries known to be participating in rendition and programs during the p
