time for questions. our first panelist is benjamin rhodes. he is a writer, political commentator and national security analyst. author of the new york times best seller, after the fall and a memoir in the obama white house. from 2009 to 2017 mr. rose served as speechwriter and security adviser for the obama administration, participating in all of president obama's key positions. i just want you to know how rare it is to stay in that position for the entirety of two terms. >> i don't recommend it. >> it demonstrates your dedication and drive in furthering american foreign policy. in his time in the white house he oversaw the national security communication and diplomacy and led the secret negotiations with the cuban government the results in an effort of normalize relations between the united states and cuba and supported the negotiations that include the joint conference of action or better known as the iran deal. he is currently a contributor for nbc news, caused of a save the world podcast, sr. adviser to former president barack obama, chair of the national security action and his work has been published in the atlantic, new york post, and o

of push back from officials. now reporting from "the new york times" this attack took leaders of iran by surprise. what's your bestle iran may or may not play? >> yeah, i think a way to think about this is a spectrum that let's say it runs from tehran actually directed this, picked a timing, chose to do this now, and directed it. that's one end of the spectrum. and the trum. the other end of the spectrum is they were shocked, had no idea this was coming. i would guess, jonathan, we're going to find it'll be somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. certainly, they provided financing, equipment, moral support, diplomatic cover for decades. i think we are probably not going to find a smoking gun of directing this attack, but it's too soon to tell. the way the reports are all over that spectrum tells us it's going to be difficult to pull it apart. the reason it's so important, i'll close here, jonathan, is it's going to unlock an israeli response, an extreme one, if it is discovered that tehran actually directed these attacks. i think that then almost requires israel to lash out at iran or certainly at the iranian cr

of the mtv presidency. she wrote in this op ed in the new york times that despite its best attempts to engage voters, it wase called out the pretense of political, the pretense of a lot of political coverage today. is that it aims to improve an edifier civic life. the reality she wrote is that it's just pouring for our attention. as a historian. i think that the key lesson to understand is media entertainment and political institutions shape one another and they evolve to alongside one another as one media scholar put it. early in the field, in the 1960s, we share our tools, and thereafter we shape our tools. and thereafter they shape us presidents, their team of savvy advisors make choices on how to use for political communication. they also make policy and the rules structure, media, businesses, something executives understand as they make their programing choices. all of these decisions are intertwined and consequential but they aren't always obvious to viewers. and this is the important takeaway? entertain ment is everywhere in politics. it's in the white house. it's the news coverage. it's on the campa

account to date of wheatley's life and works and carrie greenidge writes in the new york times book review that the odyssey of phillis wheatley is at once historical biography at its best literary analysis, at its sharpest and a subversive indictment of current political discourse, questioning the relevance of black life in our country's history. while australia's major contribution as a scholar is to take seriously the alternate reality that enslaved people like wheatley created outside the white gaze, where so excited to host this event here at harvard bookstore. please join me in welcoming david wilde and annette gordon-reed. well, thank you very much for that introduction and thank everybody for coming out to listen to us talk about this. this is a great book. david, to start off, i want to say you're historian of the american revolution, the early american republic. you have written a book about benjamin franklin. what made you decide to write about phillis wheatley. well, to me, it really wasn't a great leap because i did have a paragraph or two about her in my book about celebrations and politics in the early republic and and a bit and a bit. thank you. and a bi
