officer erin richardson, thank you for being with help us the public. all of us understand the difference when you say a spare the air alert versus when it is an advisory, what it means to us. >> yeah. the main difference is that we call a spare the air alert when we think the federal health standard for a given air pollutant is going to be exceeded an advisory is more usually with wildfire related where there's going to be sort of smoke infiltration into the area that will see hazy skies may be some localized levels, but it's it's not actually anticipated to exceed the federal health standards. so that's why tomorrow we're just issuing advisory will see smoke out there. some smoke around probably not going to be worse than moderate air quality, though. >> and i think people sort of assuming they've memorized all the advice about what to do and what not to do. are there things that they tend to overlook? >> will be was a study that came out that said a lot people really aren't following all of the advice. you know, again, i think the it's just sort of a

i, you should jalal as the mary richardson, professor of history at tufts university. she says, the trauma of what happened in 1947 is still felt today. the stars of partition continue to impact the dislocation displacement the violence. it was an orgy that was unprecedented in the blood soaked analysis of continental history. so it's very difficult to overcome that form. and the repetition off war is between india and pakistan continued tensions unresolved issue of kashmir keeps the embers a small ring. and so as a result, it's been very difficult to overcome that trauma in today's cosign, and for that matter, india as well. so i think that some of the imbalances that have played back sounds, institutions for all of those are related to partition. i mean, focus on, did not get the resources that it needed. it's share of the resources was out of proportion with defense responsibilities occupying as it was 2 of the major, a strategic entry points into the sub continent in the northwest and the northeast . so it's defense requirements are always out of proportion with ec

we have peter richardson, peter maverick from cityit lights. and it is a great honor for me too be here with the author of savage journey. i'm very pleased to be here tonight. i have been a big fan of peters for some time now. i read with great interest his history of rampart magazine which played a big role in my development as a young journalist. and hunter thompson did too, i have to say. i first read hunter thompson when i was a student at santa cruz back in the early 1970s. his fear and loathing of las vegas then later his coverage of the 1972 presidential campaign had a huge impact on me as a young journalist. so i read with great interest new book. i knew hunter a little bit myself later on as a san francisco examiner. i actually have the great pleasure of editing a couple columns bite hunter thompson was late in his career of course. but to me he was an icon, still is an icon. he had a huge impact on me and many other young writers and journalists in america. so i am delighted to be here tonight with peter. i will jump inhe with a few q

so i read with great interest peter richardson's new book about hunter. i knew hunter a little bit myself later on as an editor of the san francisco examiner. i actually had the great pleasure of editing a couple of columns by hunter thompson late in his career. but you know, to me he was an icon, still is an icon. had a huge impact on me and many other young writers and journalists in america soi'm delighted to be here today with peter . i'll jump in with a few questions and we're going to open it up i think and take questions fromsome of you . peter will help out there peter, good to see you. reyou look like you're in woody creek colorado, where are you ? >> i'm actually in glen ellen it is not far from where you are but it is another spot where hunter thompson lived briefly before he decamped for colorado. actually before he moved to san francisco. >> let's talk about hunter's san francisco roots and since we are being sponsored by the iconic city lights bookstore, let's talk about what drew hunter to san francisco back in what, the late and early 60s,

ambassador, what do you think of richardson's optimism? >> well, i'm cautiously optimistic too, because secretary blinken has been talking about it. i don't think the secretary of state would be talking an't a prisoner swap if they didn't have a real offer on the table. tragically, brittney griner has been convicted to 9 1/2 years, so that phase is over, and they can get to the negotiations. exactly what they're about, we don't know. the russians have not spoken on the record about it at all. i hope it's three innocent americans for one criminal. i get very nervous when people talk about a second russian. the guy they're talking about is an assassin. he killed somebody on the streets of berlin. i hope he will not be part of this deal. >> that's the guy we are showing right now. when you talk about one russian, who is that? >> that's viktor bout. he's a really bad guy. he was dealing in all kinds of horrible things for many, many years. it took us many years to arrest him in thailand. we brought him here, convicted criminal. and while i was

[laughter] when i think of poor john adams the end of his life, not a tooth in his head everyone of them was pulled long before novocain but we have a certain vanity and arrogance about progress but when you read what they wrote in the 18th century, i don't think anybody would be better today or even as well. i'll tell you something else that make us all set up and shape up, the literacy rate in massachusetts was higher in their time than is today and what a disgrace that is. what a lot of work still has to be done about the. the books they read as they do our lives in our time, they affected their notion of truth, heroism, right, wrong, how you write a letter. john adams advised young john quincy, don't try to write literature you write about it, don't strain for thrills and fancy affect. write the way

i don't know that governor richardson has much knowledge or insight into this. i thought that biden saying that he was hopeful on friday is a good sign. the russians saying they're willing to negotiate. i think all the speculation isn't always that helpful. as i have said before the pressure comes from people wanting her release which is completely understandable. vladimir putin doesn't have any pressure in russian television for viktor bout's release and gives leverage to putin than helps us. i know that's an unsatisfactory answer, jose. >> it is a clear one when there's so little that's clear. how complicated are the notions coming to freeing americans detained overseas? >> very complicated. i worked on some of this in the state department dealing with the families of those that are hostages or unfairly taken. it is not a one for one thing. i think that's why typically with russia now and the invasion of ukraine, with the relationships with russia at almost a historic low the negotiations become more difficult. tony blinken spoke to the russian foreign ministe

ambassador bill richardson who says he's optimistic about the prisoner swap. deb roberts joins us with more on that and others being held in russian prisons. good morning, deb. >> good morning, george. four days has brittney griner heard that guilty verdict in a russian courtroom. there have been loud cries from politicians and celebrities alike for the wnba star to be sent home. while it looks like that very well could happen, but it turns out griner is far from alone. there are even more americans than we knew of who are also entangled in the russian legal system. >> i made an honest mistake. i hope that in your ruling that it doesn't end my life here. >> reporter: despite her nine-year prison sentence, there is renewed hope that 31-year-old brittney griner may soon be on her way home. >> my view is that i'm optimistic. i think she's going to be freed. >> reporter: former u.n. ambassador bill richardson telling george stephanopoulos that russia is open to a possible prisoner exchange. >> i think it will be two for two involving paul whelan. we can't forget h

, george richardson, what was your reaction when you first heard this? >> i'm going to admit i was deeply saddened by my fellow alumni. this vocal minority who are genuinely brainwashed in their ideologies. >> todd: do you think the college will cave on this? >> i absolutely do. i expect rhodes college to succumb to the radicalized individuals. i think they will ignore the outstanding honor of outstanding supreme court justice as alumni. >> todd: this is not alumni but presbyterian school in the south. >> rhodes college in my time extremely radicalized towards the left. it is no longer a place of free thought and genuine academic discussion of ideas. it is more indoctrination. it is epidemic to the entire education of the united states of america. >> they are calling this a violation of the honor code, this being her decision and actually doing her job as supreme court justice. how is upholding the constitution if you read what she's written about is what she openly did and based her decision. how is upholding the constitution of violation of the honor c

we're joined by bill richardson. ambassador richardson, thank you fo joining us this morning. i know you've been involved in these discussions around the brittney griner detention right now, what exactly have you been doing, what have you learned? >> well, i don't want to go into everything that i've been doing, i've been talking to the russians, i talked to the white house, i'm a catalyst. this is going to be government to government negotiation, i think the president and his team, they're very focused on this, they've done a good job so far with trevor reed, an american marine, a couple of months ago coming back on a prisoner exchange. so i'm a catalyst, i'm not directly doing the talking, but when i can be helpful through my experience, for example foreign minister lavrov, we were u.n. ambassadors at the same time. i'm pleased that he's pragmatic, he's sort of in charge and sent a good signal. i think the negotiations are going to be undertaken and my view is that i'm optimistic, i think she's going to be freed, i think she has the right strategy of contrition, a good legal
