it's similar to what we saw in 2010 with the wrigley field bombing. again, where another self-radicalized, home-grown terrorist, attempted to blow up a major street in front of wrigley field. so i tell people you have to continue with that security mindset. otherwise at the end you'll fail. >> we traced this guy to his rantings on the internet and there were other means which we're not at liberty to detail so i won't compromise that. but we know that fits kind of a pattern we have seen a couple years back when someone had wanted to load a veterans i believe at the time, park it outside the new york fed and just ignite it. i believe in that person's case the intent was to take himself out if that was necessary. so, too, here in wichita. but when you're fighting people who will die for their cause, it's very different, isn't it? >> yeah. it's different because somebody who is willing to die is not only the ultimate threat -- this is essentially a suicide bomber or homicide bomber is probably one of the most dangerous things we have seen in the history o

rather than to boost your what i want to import what it is cheaper so to tony from ended on top of wrigley's i didn't need to is utterly importing negatively when i get courtship in the developing countries stricken on the included. right this is left tenant jerry join rawlings who had just overthrown his government. a government he had appointed a few years back after a coup d'etat. i the poor economy was again one of the reasons for the coup. in one thousand nine hundred eighty three j.j. rawlings asked for help from the i.m.f. which returned to ghana after eleven years of absence and has remained until today . in the following decades the economy thrived the annual average growth rate lies at five percent unemployment has declined and so has poverty which reached fifty one percent in one thousand nine hundred two dropping to twenty nine percent in two thousand and six. the good news does not stop there. it's. quite how much already. mean who has a point old. the second opportunity being given to discomfort. goes back in the night two thousand and seven that news reports said that garnett

hypothetical and i can't fall in from harvard to go where they are in the exact same position as for example wrigley in your time decides to publish everything that they get no i mean no but that there is a very sharp distinction here. i mean. you have two actors who are in the business of communicating with a broader public. one after made clear the new york times and other publications we are going to report on what we have we want to do it responsibly and we want to do it in a way that. is is is respectful. of the danger that this might cause to specific individuals and the new york times voluntarily withheld certain documents and certain names because they recognized as we did that the publication of these documents a publication these days it put real life human beings at risk. i would rather ask questions to people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question for. the folks just saw. your post sent a very intrepid reporter down there to sleep overnight he spent thursday night in the chicago park i did l

is low and away -- and ruth goes down and gets it and hits the longest home run in the history of wrigleyreally calling the shot. they claim he was pointing at something else. but ruth would always say he pointed to the american flag, and that's where he hit the home run. do you think he called the shot? >> oh, yeah. yeah, he called it. he is telling everybody that something big is gonna happen, and it did. >> coming up, i get to go where very few people visit. you can call it "the vaults of sports history." >> camden yards is where the baltimore orioles play now. babe ruth could probably have blasted a long ball right on over to the next stop on our tour. >> well, scotty, this is our other building. this is kind of like a state sports museum. it's called "sports legends," but we got a little bit of babe ruth in here, too. come on. i'll show you around. >> maryland's great teams and athletes are showcased here. but mike and i were on a mission, so there was no time to huddle. >> [ chuckles ] >> we walked right past all kinds of amazing displays... on our way to something even more amazing

i want to talk about chicago, celebrating the 100th anniversary of wrigley field.be celebrating its hundredth next year, a lot of events to commemorate that which make it especially exciting. beyond that the lincoln park zoo, which is free. you have the museum with the amazing dinosaur collection. the kid-friendly programs at the art institute. and it's a great destination to visit and it costs a fraction of what you would pay in new york or los angeles. >> and you've got second city. >> that's right. second city. >> you also have detroit on the list. >> yeah. >> how come? >> we're really big on detroit for a few reasons. one, we want to show it some love. bring tourism dollars, always help an economy. two, we're obsessed with the fate of the detroit institute of art. as you've probably been following, too christies just valued its collection at half a billion dollars and that's a minimum. if they wind up having to sell off this collection to underwrite their debt we'll never see those pieces of art again. go now see it. >> and recently read an article on them also

we did talk to the wrigley family.hey said they set up south dakota trusts, but not for tax purposes. for other reasons. >> is it expensive to set up these trusts? >> compared to the amount of wealthy can potentially shelter, not really. one estimate we saw said that you could set up a trust that within 90 years could be worth $1.9 billion compared to less if the samellion trust were set up in new york state. >> the trust get set up. it is never what you would call pay money event or a transfer of assets into an entitled account. when you ever get your money out of the trust? >> with a dynasty trust that lasts forever, each generation would be able to ask the trustee for distributions. but they would only take what they need. they would not have anything to leave to their errors. their heirs could cap the same trust. be the does not seem to initial premise of the law, or maybe it is. >> when congress set up the modern tax law, they just assumed that no states would ever get rid of this rule against perpetuities. the ta

> a discussion of the role of conservative women in politics from the university of california at wrigley. this is one hour 15 minutes. go -- there we go. ok. thank you so much for coming. i want to thank the berkeley center for right-wing studies and the cosponsors, the graduate school of journalism. and the center for race and gender. christine, jerry, deirdre. i also want to thank john mccain. why would i want to thank john mccain? as most of you know, in 2008, john mccain surprise the united states by nominating alaska governor sarah palin to be his running mate in the presidential election. and i remember that moment. i was at a political science conference and my first book had just come out on conservative women. it was academic press. i'm sure a few people thought it might be interesting. then i saw sarah palin on the screen on national television and i thought john mccain is promoting my research agenda. so i always feel it's important to thank john mccain when i do talk about my research. speaking of research and i want to follow up on something that larry said. what i am presen

the wrigley family has set up a south dakota trust.ple who run monster beverage have. >> of the way it works, the assets are held in trust. if you or i are a beneficiary, the assetsnjoy only the income. >> it all depends. the laws that up to be extremely flexible. in the trusts can operate however they want. liquidated,sets are then i will have to pay tax unless i live in south dakota. you mayture generations have to pay some personal income tax. thank you very much. peculiarities of south dakota law and how they benefit the wealthy. >> d.c. lawmakers will ease the tax burden on digital products. there's a bipartisan effort underway. mel mattingly is joining now. what is the goal? >> the basic idea for supporters of this bill is to try to cut down on duplicate of taxes. when it comes to these goods and services, companies and officials have been faced with a patchwork of state and federal tax law. it has proven very problematic on both ends. --are seeing nomar smith lamar smith to streamline things a bit. defining exactly what digital

. >> i would add really people -- wrigley that -- i would add quickly that it is remarkable that people have to look at the constitutional status that contract transparency, custom 40 transparency, and reporting of the distributions of the national fund are basically commanded at the constitutional level. i don't think there is another country in the world that has a constitutional level directive for transparency. i think that is impressive. i think smaller steps that will be important is that looking what the auction system looks like and join something like the extracted industry transparency initiative will give a platform for civil society to participate. it is a popular international movement. >> limited the last word before open up to wetjen's -- let me give you the last word before we open up to questions. to different countries to see how the different oil models work and we learned from those who have transparency limits that work well. we have put them into the constitution so we can have a mandate, a very clear mandate to make them enforceable in the law in the regulatory ne

people, it could be certain ethnic groups on abouton, there is a site regulation -- a site about wrigley'sxes, about the idea that everybody should be treated fairly under the law, that the justice system should imprisoned people of some races, and your individual liberty should be protected. one thing is we do not think any individual should be incarcerated without a trial. that sounds like a new in america does not believe that? you would be surprised. we passed two years ago a law that allows for the indefinite detention of an american citizen . i had a debate with another senator, and i said this means you could send an american citizen guantanamo bay without a trial? he said, yes, if they are dangerous. that begs the question, who gets to decide who is dangerous or not? , think back to richard jewell everybody said he was a bomber. everybody in the media said he was guilty. if he had been a black man in a content in the south, he would have been strung up from the closest tree. that is why you have to believe in you process. we once did it to african americans, because what we did to

i lost any respect for roseanne barr when she threw out the first pitch at wrigley stadium and then proceededriddance. they're nothing compared to the profanity laced ones. keep those comments coming. big news today. >> hours after north korea released video of merril newman admitting to hostile acts and apologizing for crimes during the korean war, the u.s. is demanding his release? is this enough, or should the administration do more to demand his freedom? gordon, also good to have you, and great perspective you have on that very troubling region. what should president obama be doing this morning to try to secure merril's release? >> the first thing, i think he needs to talk about it, not just the spokeswoman, who spoke yesterday. almost pleading terms. it wasn't a demand. i think we need the president of the united states himself to say this. also, we need to do other things. for instance, we can actually be cutting north korean banks off from the financial system. we should impose a travel ban to north korea and add them back to the state department's list of terrorism sponsoring states.
