john henry clarke said a variation of it and might bell the case that malcolm got it from them. he finally said -- by every means necessary, he got something they had been circulating for a couple of years. you see it in the organization of african-american unity. its founding document we know that founding document that was attributed to malcom x authorship-wise, written by john ol' her killens and john henry clarke. so they were professional writers. they were quoting malcolm. he was quoting them. >> paule and malcolm had a close for instanceship. he into call her in the middle of the night when he was not able to sleep and talk and ask her for advice, and also helped her, and he was at her house oar a new year's party, the new year's before he was killed, and she said she -- he sat the entire evening with his back up against the wall. >> i would be -- >> connection because of the west indian background at all. >> i'm not sure that's what it was. i think they were in political circles, and actually social circles, which is interesting, because she invited both betty shabazz an

she's married to a much older senator and very unhappy and henry is best taken with her. clover knows that. he's mad about her. clover is a great photographer and the atlantic magazine will run a piece on [inaudible] and this is henry's rival to be the great american historian and he wants to acquire her photograph great, great photograph, black-and-white, select behind them and henry says to clover it's fine to have a hobby but adams [inaudible] will not sell your photographs to the atlantic. he rakes a tooth and leaves to go to his office and while he's gone she drinks a [inaudible] and it takes 45 minutes. he comes home and finds her on the floor but when he writes his autobiography and henry adams he never once mentioned he had a wife or a wife who committed suicide. francis becomes [inaudible] becomes the president on the pacific railroad and again going into railroad making money and it's hardly unusual in the gilded age. adams isn't always serving the public and he wants to serve his pocketbook suite is hardly atypical for that generation but atypical foreign adams

wednesday look for us at the spy museum in washington dc for henry hemmings talk on how a british operative who worked to spread propaganda in order to encourage and Ãin the same evening at miami university in hamilton ohio where former i how government will share his ideas on how citizens can promote social and political change. all of these events are open to the public if you are in attendance take a picture and tag us at took tv on twitter or facebook or instagram. recently on tv former defense secretary jim mattis recounted his military career and offered his thoughts on leadership in the conversation with new york times columnist david brooks. here's a portion of the program. >> in the good old greek phalanx preparing for battle the men were huddled into this covered by their shields and so terrified they could hear each other's teeth chattering. have you felt that kind of fear in the course of your career either in the battlefield or somewhere else. absolutely. you feel it. you are trained to overcome it. there's things you can do to overcome it. your body will also help you your mi

kissinger, and bell perry, the former secretary of defense under bill clinton. sam nunn, bill frist, and some former military commanders like admiral roughhead, and they all eventually joined the board, and so by the time, 2013-2014 came around, she had this unbelievable board of ex states american and retired military commanders who had incredible resumes. >> host: and general mattis. >> guest: yes. the current secretary of defense. >> host: they are all really smart, successful people, but what did they know about biochemistry. >> guest: that's right. not much. >> host: not much. >> guest: if you thought -- i think a lot of people were impressed with this board and few people stopped to think, what does george schultz and hen henry kissinger and sam nunn and jim mattis know but medicine and lab testing in particular. i think there were 12 men on the theranos board and only two of them had any connection to medicine whatsoever, and none of them had any expertise whatsoever in diagnostics. and so if you thought about that for a second, that was major red flag. >

century, and that was, that was accepted, what you're referring to is, in fact, getting into the ain't bell lumbar -- antebellum period, and typically those laws are trying to prevent what southern slaveholders would think of as outside agitators from teaching other people's slaves to read. but as a slave owner, certainly in the 18th century and henry's time, it would have been not only legal, but people were encouraged to do this. but as you indicate -- and i think this is a notion, there's a notion around that somehow or other southern laws prevented anyone from teaching slaves to read, and there is, you know, there is indications that that's part of the law. but it typically is used not existence slaveholders -- against slave holders, but rather against what would you call it, reformers, liberals, you know, depending on, you know, who's doing the, what, the accusation. it's targeted at people perceived by the slaveholders in the legislatures to be meddling with the institutions. does that make sensesome yeah. yes. yes, sir. >> would you verify for me a statement i read in one biography a

when the word reached bell jump, john quincy adam and henry clay, our negotiatears, sound down for the umpteen anytime a year of negotiations and decide on a stale matte. both side were broke. the british par him did not want to appropriate anymore money to find the americans. the duke of wellington didn't want the command. he was offered it in america help said he didn't want to be killed. her said i must not die. he had this idea that napoleon was not going to stay on elba and would still around. by that time every american, every british general who fought the americans had been killed by sharpshooters. so he stayed in york. but both side were really broke. in october of 1814, we could not pay the interest on our war bonds. we could not any of our debts. we were bankrupt. when we put the order in for the 1815 penny, the supplier of copper refused credit to the united states. so there was no 1815 penny. the diplomats in gant were deeply indebt, including dolly madison's son, who kept throwing parties, putting her mother and stepfather deeper in debt. he was one of the assistants to t

i wrote about henry muller two. talk about a red herring. mailer had huge respect for hemingway but he said something that was interesting about hemingway's legacy. he had a farewell to arms and for whom the bell tolls would be if the writer was five for and i guess the point -- is pointing out something very real. >> didn't you say that he said all he needed to know about the revolution he learned from the farewell to arms. >> and did you really? >> from gorilla fighting. >> thank you you are talking about oak park and i was remembered about the salinas california and the people of salinas not really appreciating john steinbeck when he was alive. i went to his museum many years ago and it was just a small house, now 50 years after his death, huge museum. what sense do you get of the citizens of oak park and their relationship with hemingway and do you feel he gets enough recognition and honor from his town? >> i don't think they have much. many people didn't even know he was there. then, they put a museum on his house. even now, all those w

but the other 13 times, henry i'm going to keep an eye on it. it might go crazy but i'm watching here. >> dear member the panic over swine flu? and it never showed up. that's no one's fault. it was just the way science is. >> the 2009 swine flu did show up. >> thank you. >> to the disclosure, i had a maternal grandfather grandfather was a veteran of world war i and died of tubercolsis 13 years later. my question is edward jenner -- as you pointed out he had discovered the vaccine for smallpox, however it was very rare that cowpox was rare that time and i don't know why if it disappeared but if it did disappear is that something that we need to keep in mind? the other question i have is for both of you. i've been told if you have a disease called spanish flu you can be assured it is in from spain but it's from some other country. if you have german measles the left country you can blame is germany. do you have any thoughts as regards to the identification for these diseases that have a country associated with it ? >> there's a reason why it was c

again, it's inevitable that you will have what henry kissinger called a revolutionary states where if they see an opportunity to change things, they'll do just that. >> let me bring in the fact that in 2014, russian president vladimir held the bell die conference and i believe that was the tenth anniversary of bell die. it was global older, new rules of the game without rules. how does that relate to the thesis that you're putting forward and looking back historically ? how do you set the stage in the book? >> is relevant in a couple of ways. roughly a quarter of a century since the berlin wall came down, the end of the cold war and i would argue that there are several things are happening. one is that there is less consensus than there was if there was that much to begin with about the rules of the world ought to be. what bubbles should organize the world and what are the behaviors, shall shall we say, that our example as behaviors that are discouraged. there's growing friction between russia and china and the united states and others including: europe. the the balance of power is we

i try to write sensible articles and not ringing the alarm bells. they've cracked the genetic sequences and he successfully predicted, the last pandemics. he was accurate. but the other 13 times, henry i'm going to keep an eye on it. >> do you remember the panic over swine flu? that's nobody's fault, that's just the -- >> the '76 swine flu. the 2009 swine flu be, different bug. >> great question. again, thank you so much. sir. >> truth of disclosure, i had a maternal grandfather who was a veteran of world war i and died of tuberculosis 14 years later. my question for you, joel, is the fact that edward jenner, you know, as you pointed out, had already discovered the vaccine for smallpox.st however, it was very rare, cow pox was very rare at that time. and i don't know why, if it disappeared, but if it did disappear, is that somethingt that we sort of need to keep in mind. the other question i have is fon both of you all, and that is i've been told if you have a disease called spanish flu, you can be assured it isn't from a spain, it's from some orr c

of henry clay, she brought some of the speeches. she wrote letters to the editor that lincoln signed an lincoln's name. she had 3 by 5 boxes of people wholingon had done favors with who were going to help the next campaign. she was indispensable and that's part of the story that's left out of the biography. she was a difficult woman. she had a difficult childhood. mother died young and father married three times and siblings from each married. three of her half brothers fought for the confederate. she loses another son, willy, you see this very clearly in the spielberg movie. she begins to show emotion distress. she dealt with some of the stress on going shopping sprees and after talk about transition, i don't think the johnsons thought she was going to leave. she ordered fabrics, dresses, the whole thing when she wasn't home she had some sent back and he would ask donors to help pay bills because she was getting to be difficult. mother, if you don't cut this out we are going to send elizabeth to the hospital, a mental institution i

they lent him the money the next day le found out that he was henry starr a kin by marriage to bell star, the outlaw queen. henry starr was considered one of the best bank robbers in indian territory, he robbed more banks than anybody, sometimes he dropped two banks in a day and here le was just panicked. by god henry starr paid that loan back even before it was due and frank said see, i told you. you can't go wrong lending money to outlaws and oil man, there's little difference between the two. so the word got around that the phillips boys had these banks and that bank robbers but robbed all the other banks and did all their banking with the phillips which probably was true. that was a grub state getting that banking going and getting from there they could finance going out and drilling for oil, they did that for quite a while and had small oil companies, they found one, found another and would name them from their mother, and for relatives and they did very well. that doesn't mean that they can sometimes drill a dry hole. every oil man has drilled dry holes, and sometimes you drilled s

found out that the young man was henry starr, kin by marriage to belle starr the outlaw queen. and henry starr was considered one of the best bank robbers in indian territory. he'd robbed more banks -- sometimes he'd rob two banks in a day. and here l.e. was just panicked. and by god request henry starr paid -- by god, henry starr paid that loan back promptly, even before-good. frank said see, i told you you can't go wrong loaning to outlaws and oilmen, there's little difference between the two. so the rumor got around through the indian territory and the greater oil patch that the phillips' boys had these banks, that bank robbers banked all the other banks and did their banking with the phillips, which probably was true. but that was a grub state, getting that banking going. from there, they could finance going out and drilling for oil. but they did that for quite a while and had small oil companies, and they found one found another. they named them for their mother, they'd name them for relatives, and they did very well. that doesn't mean that they didn't sometimes drill a dr

[applause] >> when did the u.s. slave trade start and how did it start? >> well, the u.s. was involved in the slave trade from the moment that we sort of began as a colony of britain, and one of the interesting things about u.s. history is that in the constitutional convention there was a compromise between the states that had slaves and the states that didn't, and the u.s. constitution said that the federal congress couldn't take any action against the slave trade until 1808. and the u.s., at the first moment it could in 1807, president jefferson, sent legislation up to congress that banned par tis nation -- participation in the slave trade by u.s. ships and u.s. persons, and come passed that. so in 1808 the u.s. prohibited the slave trade, which was a long time before, of course, slavery itself ended in the united states. but the issues were

henry kissinger, bell -- bill perry, himself, and -- who was the fourth one? yeah, george hill, former secretary of state. and just trying to sway public opinion with films and editorials and discussion. and they're doing a good job. we're closer to getting rid of nuclear weapons than we have probably ever been. >> why -- [applause] >> nice to think, so, anyway. >> and through the u.n. foundation, so many initiatives centered around women. education. health, so many aspects. why the focus -- this is rhetorical question, ladies -- why the focus on women? or maybe we shouldn't ask that question. >> they look better on tv than men. [laughter] >> it's high time we got women more involved in all of the leadership activities, and we are doing that. and back here in the united states there are more women in college now than there are men. and more women in graduate school. >> well, do you recall the story about political office? you like to tell them what you said about women in political office? >> i still believe it. i think it's a little impractical, but i advocat

but i was part of bell group that henry kissinger organized that has meetings, some in china and some here just seven or eight of us and about a year ago we were in china and the man who's now the president, he gave a dinner for us and spent time and we had a lot of discussion. the next day we spent about an hour and half with the new premier. and i checked this out with henry kissinger and others in the delegation. i said you know they are giving us a message that they want to have a collaborative relationship in the night states. that doesn't mean we have problems but it means we can talk about the problems and maybe we agree to disagree or find ways of dealing with them. i know when i was in office my first meeting with the chinese they said they liked the idea with my counterpart and they said you put on the table everything you want to talk about and i will put on the table everything i want to talk about. let stake in a gym that out of that and let's agree on will come to china once a year at least in you come to the u.s. once a year at least and probably the three or four meeti

the second one was philadelphia belle peggy shipman, and she married the then-military hero benedict arnold. their lives were forever changed as a result of those marriages. one bride became a patriot, the other bride became a spy. and since you're all knowledgeable, obviously, about the american revolution, i'm not going to bore you by going through this, but just briefly you know that in the 1760s there were rumblings of revolution. not necessarily that that we were looking for independence, but rather that we wanted things to get better between the americans and the british. and these, of course, are some of the famous acts, among hem the stamp act being -- them the stamp act being very important and, certainly, the townsend act was -- well, they all were -- inflammatory. and then, of course, the boston massacre in 1770 was another flashpoint that at that point the sons of liberty who'd been collecting and gathering and then disappearing and the idea of protests had sort of died down when this happened, then there was a resurgence of energy and people, and we started talking about

i want to ask henry, dale, bruce, we've had a lot to say. i'm sure the people in the audience would goat a word in. if anybody would like to comment on the other presentations, please do so. >> one thing occurred to me, and it's really a question for my fellow panel lists and the audience, really, everything isn't perfect now in telecom. if tom were with us and functioning in the spirit he always functioned in, what would he point to or try to change? what development would bother him very much about what we have today? does anyone want to take a crack that the? >> well, i'd be glad to. i'll be glad to impute my views to tom. [laughter] it seems -- [laughter] the biggest problem from an economic point of view in the telecommunications business is that the spectrum remains largely noncompetitive. it's not allocated by markets, it's mostly controlled by the government. of course, in the areas of mobile telephone service, it has been largely deregulated and turned up to private markets. it's subject to fcc regulation. but there are a huge areas

you think about alexander graham bell, henry ford, the wright brothers, bill gates, steve jobs, and others. and yet they were able to develop these new technological breakthroughs with private dollars and not government money. so i'm delighted we are moving in on this program. at this time, i'd like to yield time to the chairman, mr. fred upton. >> thank you, thank you both chairman. will want to see innovations and breakthroughs in energy sector, and i believe that the federal government can play a constructive role in encouraging them. but when a department of energy program is not delivering on the goal while costing hundreds of millions of dollars, we go into the american people to pull the plug. unfortunately, we've reached that stage with a loan guarantee program which is one the reasons why i co-authored the no more solyndras act. again, i want to thank mr. stearns, chairman of the oversight and investigations subcommittee, for his very hard work and determination in getting to the bottom of the story. let's not forget that when her team started the investigation, both the administr
