you don't want to -- you know, you don't want to take your subject worth face value. you need to watch and observe and ask the questions that you know, you know, people watching c-span or you know, we've got fox news in the building or msnbc. you need to explore and live life with these folks. and i think, in the end the reader can judge for themselves because they learn about of all these people. my sense as a researcher was coming from a profound sense for the grace of god. of course, i would do these things if i had to ensure that my child, you know, wasn't ridiculed at school. >> right. exactly. well, i could tell you that, you know, some of the things that struck me were the conclusions that you reached. you know, obviously you thought that creation was very important and, of course, politicians say we need to create jobs, obviously raising the minimum wage, is an obvious sort of solution, and your book really recite those data to do that. >> guest: right. >> host: many don't have the skill set quite frankly to take on the economy. you talked about the -- the situation in the delta and talked about how there's a lot of automated agricultural techniques so a lot of

the president of planned parenthood is expected to be there and you can watch on c-span 3. rk is up next. line for democrat. caller: good morning. how are you? host: good. flabbergasted about want to believe what they want to think and they can't even believe in global warming because they are not a scientist. the same way with women's right to choose. the other thing that i am really sick of it is right wing court thatsupreme does whatever they want like just --ights and it is i have lost faith in our government until we can on gerrymander this complete crazies andblican get back to a more central ,eople that can actually govern i don't have much faith in this country but i am definitely voting for senator sanders that handore sense in his right the most republicans have in their whole entire head. mark in california. staying on bernie sanders, you are asked earlier this month in an interview if bernie sanders is electable and you said, nobody is saying what i really as ais a 75 socialist progressive websites were upset that you were implying people and not interested in hi

to see abby before you get her to bed. then i called a half hour later, are you watching c-span? are you watching tv? that plan has changed. there was a challenge in the state legislature. we were on the floor a lot. we cast a lot of votes. so by this point, i'm young, i'm experienced enough now. six years in the statehouse i am fairly used to it. it is one of the unfortunate aspects of the skwrofpblt especially when we end in session on a day unexpected. because you already planned things in the district and now you have to call and explain why you are not going to be there. they are more interested in seeing you pack in the district. that was the case certainly when i was a state legislature. kind of like we were talking about before. i always tried to keep a hands-on approach. and something i feel strongly about. in a country of 310 million people and a world of thousands of tv channels, billions of web sites, it's easy for people who feel disconnected from their democracy. it's easy for people to feel, well, i don't matter, my voice isn't heard. i know when i'm showing up to an event or in a scho

it is in the league and not up to the teams and the team ball boys will not handle footballs anymore. host: you are listening to c-spane are focusing on the nfl and court. we welcome our listeners on xm potus channel 124 and c-span radio on 24/7 on xm and streamed on the web at www.c-span.org. case from liberty, texas. good morning. caller: i don't understand why courtney to come to play in football. it is three hours that folks do not have to think about the crazy stuff in the world. it is ridiculous. if we can somehow muster the fervor and the passion as far as fixing this country, fixing our infrastructure and getting people back to work and not having to go to war, we could turn this world around, but we care more about football and all that. that's fine, i love football. i'm in football country and i've watching the houston texans. i'm not going to freak out and lose my mind it a football deflated or whatever because it does not affect my life. i love football, but i love this country more [laughter] . you all have a host: good day and go texans. thank you. guest: i think a lot of people feel that way. don't we h

to be here.me tot. how many c-span watchers to have in the room? great, most of you think of c-span as congress, public policy events. for 20 years we have been doing major historical series. in fact mark, has been apr producer for most of these over the years.[ apause ] about a year and a half ago we a just finished one and we enjoyed a great deal. it was biographies of the first ladies. it was a year-long project ont c-span and we are casting about what to do next. i was invited graciously to join the board of trustees of the national constitution center for their annual dinner in washington d.c. one of the speakers got up and told the story of virginia versus plumbing. a dramatic story about police bursting into the bedroom of mr. and mrs. loving who were an interracial couple in the 1950s, arresting them because it was against the law that time. her point was so many of thetoes vacation that get to the supreme court have very traumatic stories behind them. by the time it goes through the appeals process a lot of it gets lost.t it shouldn't because essentially the

to clean things up. c-span, please, i love you guys but you seem to be steering more and more to the left. as an example, yesterday when i turned on the tv and i turned on c-span, it had obama. i can't stand his voice. so, i switch to c-span2. the same speech is obama playing on c-span1 and c-span2 at the same time. you guys go way, way back in time to criticize republicans. yet i'll see on the news they're having a hearing on irs or something, i watch and i think, c-span, let's see it. i think you'll wait until the weekend to do it. but you never do it. you never have hearings against the democrats or this administration. >> i appreciate your feedback. yesterday you could have seen a portion of the president's speech from the day before. and on the irs hearings, we have covered a number of those hearings with the head of the irs. we appreciate your feedback. let's hear from tampa, florida, next to the independents line. we go to robert. robert in tampa, go ahead. >> caller: yeah, i'm very interested in the candidate that's going to protect social security and medicare for the people in the
