Im sorry. I was told this was a roast. This morning ice oep presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. Norah odonnell is off, so Bianna Golodryga is with us. President trump is again facing off with a powerful senator from his own party. The dispute with Senate Foreign relations chairman bob corker may put his political agenda at risk. The president tweeted yesterday senator bob corker begged me to endorse him for reelection in tennessee. I said no and he dropped out. Corker responded this way. Its a shame. The white house has become an adult day care center. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning. Hours later the president challenged democrats to support his immigration goals to keep the socalled daca protection for young undocumented immigrants. Major garrett is at the white house. Good morning. Good morning. We reported at the time that soon the white house would follow up with very tough immigration proposals. Now theyre here, and the timing reflect as grim political reality at the white house where aides are significantly worried tax reform will falter leaving the president with no significant accomplishment in his first year, and at the end of that first year, negotiating with democrats to legalize an obamaera executive action many Trump Supporters regard as amnesty. The white house sent congress an immigration wish list meant to ensure the president hadnt gone soft. The administration told congress any daca deal must fund the border wall, crack down on sanctuary cities, impose new skillsbased immigration criteria, and speed up deportation procedures. Democratic leaders said the proposals go far beyond what is reasonable. This proposal fails to represent any attempt at compromise, they wrote, rew fehring to earlier talks with the president the democrats said wall funding was explicitly ruled out of the negotiations. That wasnt the president s only clash on capitol hill. Senator bob corker, a key republican ally, told the New York Times mr. Trump was treating the presidency like a reality show with reckless threats toward other countries that could set the nation on a path to world war iii, and that tweets hurt us as relates to negotiations. This after the president tweeted early sunday, i would fully expect cork e to be a negative voice and stand in the way of our great agenda. Didnt have the guts to run, mr. Trump wrote, referring to mr. Corkers decision not to seek another term. He tweeted out, thats not true and the vast majority understands what were dealing with here. He sided with secretary of state Rex Tillerson when their relationship exploded into public view. Secretary tillerson, secretary mattis, and chief of staff kelly are those people that helped separate our country from chaos. The president in the coming weeks will need every not republican vote on budget, tax reform and possibly even health care. Corker was given leverage, making the timing of the spat with corker all the more curious. Thanks, major. Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein is out from the studio he cofounded in 2005. The Weinstein Company released a Statement Last night saying he had been terminated effective immediately. His abrupt firing came just three days after the times reports weinstein paid off Sexual Harassment claims for decades. This weekend two more women claimed sexual advances. Among those ashley judd. Weinstein was the force behind some of the biggest hits. Tony dokoupil is here with how some of his powerful friending are now turning their backs on him. Tony, good morning. Good morning. Harvey weinstein was a force not only in hollywood but washington where he gave generously to democrats. However, weinstein found himself with far fewer friends to turn to. Harvey weinstein was fired by his studios board of directors including his brother bob. Two prominent attorneys lisa bloom and lana davis also quit his defense team this past weekend as more accusers came forward. One script writer told the times of london says he tried to convince her to take a bath with her. Another said he touched himself in front of her. She tweeted a picture of herself and wrote this is the girl hurt by a hollywood monster. This is just the start of what is probably going to be months and months of refb lagss. But because weinstein has been responsible, for many of hollywoods finest films in the last 25 years, min says many in the industry are still wants to condemn him publicly. No one wants guilt by association. Anybody who gives a quote is going to have a journalist go back and look at the project they were involved in. Reporter since 2007 weinstein has made 600,000 in contributions mostly to democrats. He gave 40,000 to Hillary Clinton in 2016 and more than 70,000 in 2012 to help barack obama. Michelle obama praised him later. Hes a wonderful human being, a good friend. The clintons s and obamas ha so far been silent. The others say they will donate the money to women and victims groups. He acknowledged his past behave caused colleagues, quote, a lot of pain. Attorneys say theyre suing the New York Times. In our next half hour well talk to noor New York Times correspondent jodie canter who helped break the sexual hara harassme harassment. Shell take us behind the scenes on the decision to finally fire him. Some of the lights went dim in las vegas after the massacre last weekend. The first team of officers to enter Paddocks Hotel suite appeared last night on 60 minutes. They say the gunman had prepared for days and no detail was overlooked. First we have part of the 60 minutes report on what the officers saw. What do you see . An armory. An armory. So many guns, so many magazines, stacks and stacks of magazines everywhere. In suitcases all neatly stacked, against pillars in the room all stacked up. Rifles placed all throughout. All kinds of monitors and Electrical Equipment he had in there. It just looked like almost a gun store. Shell casings . All over the floor. I could smell the gun powder that had went off in the room and we were tripping over guns, tripping over long guns inside there were so many. That many. Yes. My initial scan coming in the room with my rifle is just seeing im seeing one male down bleeding to his face, hes not a threat. Kept going, kept going, kept going. You say one male down. That was the shooter. Yes. Stephen paddock. What were his wounds. I didnt see any apparent wounds to his head but i had seen a lot of blood that had come out of his mouth. There was a bloody revolver, i think, nearby, nearby him on the ground consistent with him shooting himself. What else did you see . I saw a few phones, laptops, a couple of laptops he had in there, a lot of drills. A lot of drills and drill bits, all kinds of tools. This was eerie. Very eerie. The dust from the explosive breach and then youve got the flashing lights. It looked like straight out of a movie. Paddock had screwed shut the stairwell door to his floor to try to keep the officers from getting to him. The officers had a bar and they pride the door open. When they got in the room, they found a note that he had written. He had calculated the trajectory of the bullets and how far the audience was going to be away from his room so he could maximize his accuracy and his carnage. Talk about well planned. There will many questions here. How did they find him. Well, there was a Security Guard at the hotel who was respontdir responding to a door ajar alarm, and he walked near the door. The shooter had cameras set up, and they believe they saw the Security Guard coming in and opened fire. 200 rounds shot down the hallway after the Security Guard. Got him in the leg. It didnt kill him. He survived. But thats what alerted them. What a lucky thing. The security forward wasnt going to the shooter. He wanted to go to the door ajar. Your piece last night, bill, was so well done. What fascinated me was the picture they painted. Theyre going to the floor. The fire alarm is going off, a dusty room, flashing lights, and these four officers had never worked before. They were working together on the fly. They were an ad hoc group, they really were. They were two members of the canine unit, a detective from the gang unit, there was one s. W. A. T. Officer, and they actually found each other at the hotel in the stairwell going up to the 32nd floor. They formulated a plan and figured out how to execute the plan and went forward from there but never worked together before. Its amazing they changed their preparation after the 2008 hotel attack in mumbai, india. Sheriff lombardo told us before they would set up a perimeter and try to keep everybody away and zero in o on the shooter. After mumbai, they decided the best way to approach this was to go after the shooter no matter what. They knew that was their goal. They come together, they dont know each other. Youre from s. W. A. T. , youre from canine, youre a detective, lets get this unit together and get up there and stop this guy. Well done, bill. Amazing piece. Thank you for joining us at the table. Workers from the gulf coast are cleaning up after Hurricane Nate made landfall in louisiana and mississippi. 85mileperhour winds along with winds and dangerous storm surge pounded the region.

Throughout sunday tornadoes and funnel clouds were reported as remnants of Hurricane Nate moved through. The category 1 storm slammed the mississippi coast sunday morning just hours after it made it first landfall in louisiana. The strength of the hurricanforce winds could be seen in this parking garage in biloxi as it filled with water. This is inside the Golden Nugget casino. Reporter the entrance to the Golden Nugget casino looked more like a swimming poochlt despite nates voracitying most of the area spared major damage but parts of the carolinas dont seem to have been as lucky. It was like a slow rotation and all of a sudden it came together at one time. A twister ripped through this area in North Carolina snapping treeing and power poles. At the county fair people were ordered to evacuate. Across the border in South Carolina a possible tornado flattened mobile homes. In Pickens County this home was destroyed while a family was still inside. They sought shelter in the corner of the residence that happens to be the only corner of the house still standing.

Holly williams made it inside raqqah. Now shes in northern syria. Holly, good morning. Reporter good morning. We spent two days inside raqqah with americanbacked militiamen. They say theyre days away from victory. The drive from the front lines of raqqah is at breaknecking speed in humvees because isis still lurks in this broken down city. Isis fighters are holed up in what used to be raqqahs main hospital. They spot movement, and these u. S. Backed militia men opened fire. But fighting here has been sporadic for days because they dont want to destroy whats left of the hospital and because isis has human shields. In this skeleton of a city. Its thought 2,000 civilians are still trapped. Mike hogan is from phoenix, arizona, and worked as a waiter before he volunteered to fight with the syrian militiamen. He told us how one of his comrades fell to isis. He got shot by a sniper. There is risk. In his chest. He died in front of you. He spent two hours lying there before they stabilized him. The ambulance arrived 20 minutes after he keeled over. Reporter one squalid corner is reserved for the wives of isis fighters and their children. Mohammed ramadan is just 13 and told us isis trained him to use weapons and exposed him to horror. They brought a man in a car and tied him up for three hours, he told us. Then they cut off his head and put it on top of a fence. Raqqah will be rebuilt and the stench of death which we encountered all around the city will disappear, but the people of raqqah will be haunted for a very long time to come. Gayle .

President trump tweeted the morning our country has been unsuccessfully dealing with North Carolina for 25 years. Policy didnt work. Mr. Trump warned over the weekend only one thing will work in dealing with North Carolina. When asked what that one thing was, he said, quote, youll figure that out pretty soon. The head of fema says resources are stretched thin after four hurricanes hit the u. S. In the last two months. Brock long says roughly 85 of its agencys forces are deployed. The latest storm nate made landfall as a category 1 hurricane this weekend in louisiana and mississippi. Femas still working on the huge Recovery Efforts from hurricanes harvey, irma, and and facebook is responding to claims made on 60 nu social giant said, quote, we offer identical support to both the trump and Clinton Campaigns. No one on facebook was assigned full time to the trump campaign. The Clinton Campaign turned down an off of support. The board fired cofounder Harvey Weinstein last night following the revelation of sexual harass mountain allegations thatnn decades. Jodi kantor spent four months investigating the story with her colleague megan twohey. Its been probably more busy for jodi. Exactly right. Was there a final straw that finally led to the firing yesterday. It was announced last night Harvey Weinstein was fired last night. The board said theyre continuing to learn about allegations about what Harvey Weinstein may have done to women, and i think his firing, by the way, does not really end that question. I think the question we all face now is what was the size and scope of this thing . What really happened in this situation, how come this behavior appears to have continued for decades, did anything including the board of the Weinstein Company try to stop it. Thats what im curious about. If it had been going on for decades, why didnt the board know that it was allegedly an open see yet in hollywood . My colleague megan twohey has been investigating that question very, very hard. One answer to the question is legal settlements. We do know for sure Harvey Weinstein had women who complain of allegations of Sexual Harassment. Not only signed settlements but confidentiality agreements. The board had to know about the settlements, wouldnt they, bus they would have been paid out of i think the question of what they knew and when they knew it is something were looking at very, very closely that youre at the center of this. Tell us what its like to be a report theirs written a story thats an ongoing story. People are, im assuming, calling you and i assume it has its own momentum. Well, i this i what we feel is the responsibility of getting this right and understanding what really happened. This was a situation in which there was silence for so long. There was a heavy intimidation factor. Mr. Weinstein was an incredibly powerful figure in hollywood, and so i think what were devoted to is really understanding the issues here, just how big this was and how it played out and who may have been hurt in the process. His attorneys told us last week, quote, we sent the times the facts and evidence but they ignored it and rushed to publish. Did weinstein or his lawyers provide you with evidence to discredit your facts and claims . They knew about the story ahead of time. We worked on it all summer with their knowledge we asked them plenty of questions. At the end we came to them with very specific allegations and they had 48 hours to respond. We stand by our facts and reporting. Was his fate determined by the time you published this article . Had he been more contrite, would the response have been different . He played every key in between and he kept switching and im not sure weve heard him settle on a final answer. There are have been so many women who praised him from the stage, i want to thank Harvey Weinstein. A lot of people knew him to be very passionate about his movies and relentless to get awards for his actresses. Thats why im so surprised to that so many people knew it was going on. I think the question stands who protected Harvey Weinstein, who protected the women. Did the women feel they could speak up . Would anybody believe them . Dont forget the obamas daughter interned for him this last summer. Thank you. If they would have suspected this, they would have never done it. Theyre asking the same questions. I would assume so too. Meantime some kiparents are concerned about their kids hecht due to lead. How they might be spreading pollution to places where children play.

Many communities across the country are concerned about lead in Water Supplies but in philadelphia some parents are worried about whats in the ground. Theyre convinced high levels of lead and soil put their children at risk for ir reversible brain damage. The Philadelphia Inquirer and daily news recently tested 100 yards, playgrounds, and backyards in the rivers city wards. Jericka duncan spoke with one family demanding solutions. Good morning. Good morning. Construction projects in whats known as the river ward section are on the rise. Parents are worried when construction crews dont follow the regulations, hazardous particles could end up in places where children play. She gets frustrated easily. That could be every 3yearold or it could be as a result o that elevated lead. We just wont know. Reporter theres not a day that wont go by that jana curtis and her husband bill pace dont look at their 3yearold daughter nolan and wonder whether shell have lifelong damage from lead. In 2015 her parents found out she had a blood lead level of 14. Thats almost three times the level the cdc says is cause for concern. What was your initial reaction when you heard that . Heartbroken really. You do so much to protect your kids an then to realize that you failed in that is terrifying. Very exposure to abnormally high levels of lead can cause developmental delays. At 1 1 2 nolan spoke only two words. Her parents quickly enrolled her in speech therapy. As you did thor er and found out more what this means for your daughter i actually got more scared the more i read about it. Reporter the family found out their backyard soil had elevated levels of lead only after the Environmental Protection agent ski went door to door to test the area for lead including soil. For the past few years the ep ahh has been doing this because the area was once home to 14 chemical plants that had lead waste. Over 1,100. Over 1,100. Yes. Which is over three times the play space lilts for kids. Reporter meetings are packed with parents of small children who are concerned about the various ways lead can spread. She says unregulated construction sites may be contributing to the problem. We found giant heaping piles of dirt left uncovered blowing in the wind. Even if people have low levels of lead reporter dr. Thomas farley is the citys health commissioner. Have the contractors been doing that. We know the contractors are not following the recommendations or requirements now. Reporter after the interview a spokeswoman for the city said parks and recs facility near a construction site will be hosed down several time as week. Signs will be posted a all parks and rec sites for kids to wash their hands and contractors have been sent letters reminding them of the air quality laws. But they say levels outside the area are even higher. We think the primary source for children is the interior paint. Reporter nationwide cdc reports lead paint may account for 70 o the elevated lead levels. There may very well be some contribution from soil, but thats not the only source. If you really want to eradicate lead poisoning in the kids the the city, you have to take away 100 , not 70 . To ignore the 30 , i think, is a huge mistake. No nolans parents have repld the topsoil. Shes doing better but that ere still worried. Bottom line there are unsafe learns o soil in many urban neighborhoods across the country. Doctors say knowing the risk and testing early are the best was to deal with lead. Thank you, jericka.

On one side you have the leader of catalonia whos expected to declare independence. On the other side you have the Prime Minister who vows to not let that happen. And in the middle on the streets, you have both sides digging in. Calling themselves the silent majority, hundreds of thousands of protesters were hardly silent on sunday, chanting for a united spain. We are spanish. I mean reporter these people in the crowd are telling us these are the voices not heard in last weeks referendum. Reporter on october 21st, 23 of voters turned out to the polls despite the central governments efforts to stop them. Police smashed into polling stations to remove ballot boxes and voters themselves. Did you vote in the referendum . No, no, no, no. Many boycotted the regional referendum because they saw it as illegal. But 90 of those who dig cast ballots voted in faber of splitting from spain. This relatively rich region says it contributes more to madrid than it gets in return and many think theyd be better off on their own. Its not a matter of having a passport.

Reporter a full half of the energy the school uses comes from the sun. Coming up on cbs this morning, find out what else copenhagen is doing to become the Cleanest Energy city in the world.

Overnight i went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one worldwide. I was patient zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously. Thats Monica Lewinsky speaking very candidly in a 2015 t. E. D. Talk about becoming the center of a national scandal. She was just 24 years old when the news first broke online back in 1998 about her relationship with then president bill clinton. That led to years of harassment on the internet. It prompted lewinsky to join the fight against Cyber Bullying. Now shes collaborated with antibullying groups that youre seeing first on cbs this morning. It shows how we treat each other online versus in the real world. Homosexuality is a disease. Were saving humanity by killing ourselves. [ bleep ]. Hi, sweetheart. This woman is dangerous. As mull limbs are terroristmusl terrorists. Are you okay . Yeah. Monica lewinsky joins us live and in color. Monica, good to see you. Good morning. Good morning, gayle. Remember your t. E. D. Talk back in 2015. I remember thinking, yay, good for you speaking up. Here you are begin in 2017. You always point out speaking up is something you never like to. Do youre not seeking the spotlight, youre not trying to put yourself in the public eye, but this topic matters to you. I have sweaty palms. This is not easy. Youre in good hands. This is a very important topic. As you just saw with the psa, this is very much about showing the disparity between how we behave online and how we behave offline when were facetoface. You describe yourself back then as patient zero. Yes. You were involved in Cyber Bullying before we knew what it was. Cyber bullying, cyber harassment or slut shamg. How did it happen . What got you into it . Back then it was the days of internet. With didnt have social media yet, but there were certainly online websites for news, and there were comment sections and websites on which peach could comment. So it became a very new world in which people could communicate their thoughts. And i think we started to see then and we start to see even more now what psychologist john sue ler calls the online disinhibition effect. They lose themselves in a way because of the anonymity behind the scenes. They do things they would never do in person. The reason why its so interesting and why i connect so much with the psa and what weve done and the rest of the campaign is i realized i couldnt count on one hand how many times people have said cruel and truly hateful things to me online. But when i realized i could count on maybe, two hands the number of times that people have actually been cruel to my face, and that was really surprising. So that chasm or that disparity and dissonance is really whats at the heart of this campaign. Whats amazing about it, too, beyond what you experienceding it drives people to suicide. It does. Charlie, i dont know if youre all aware that we now have a new word in our lexicon which is bullycide, which talks about the people who died by suicide as a result of bullying. And there are recent statistics have talked about how i think its 20 of teen suicides have been related to bullying issues. And you all might have seen too were at an alltime high in the last 40 years for young girls and people who die by suicide. So what to we do . Well, with this campaign, what we are advocating is to click with compassion and theres three components of that. The first is thinking about before you post something online, think about what youre clicking. Think before you click. What that means is think about the face test. Would you say that to someone offline just as were sitting here, and if not, then dont post it. Next to that, really, is bullying has the kind of the corn what fuels bullying is shame and public humiliation. So clickbait, which weerre always familiar with is also fueled by those same things so another way to click with compassion is to not click on clickbait that were seeing so we can contribute to an algorithm which promote as culture of compassion versus a culture of humiliation. A large part is on Cyber Bullying of children. You talk about 40 of american adultings experience some form of Cyber Bullying as well. How can that be dealt with and is it different with how we deal with children who are bullied online . I think with children, of course, one of the areas of focus right now is called digital resilience, but i think that applies to adults as well. Where i think theres a slight difference, we see a little bit less violence of children particularly women and members of the Lgbtq Community experience more online threats and harassment. One of the things and sort of the click with Compassion Campaign is using your click to support someone whos a target of bullying online. Its very i can relate to this from a myriad of ways of even hearing from a stranger to show support to a target can actually really shift the situation and make sure that you dont feel alone, which is the kindless of strangers really makes a difference at a time like this. You talked about being bullied when you were in the sixth grade, monica. Yes. Talk about the difference between sixth grade to what happened to you back in 1998 . I was lucky because the bullying in a sense in sixth grade was not as bad as many people have it, but it was certainly scarring for me. Not everybody knew about it. Not everybody knew about it. Thats a really big issue. Theres no border on the internet. Theres kind of no parameter how many people are laughing at you. I think what happened later on back in 1998, you know, was there was no role model, there was no playbook, no one else had gone through a public shaming online like what i had experienced, and so i was very blessed in terms of having an incredible family and friends, and i also heard from a lot of strangers, so which connects really to the other part of the campaign with it, Bestrong Emojis which came from this experience i had of having gotten letters from strangers. Some you wouldnt want to read on tv, but lot of them were letters of compassion and support and that really helps me through. Sometimes thats what got me through the day. Why should the support of strangers help . You should know you have a lot of people pulling for you, monica. Thank you, thank you. A lot of people pulling for you and wishing you well. Why did the kindless of strangers matter so much when you had as you said a good support team. . You know, i think this comes from and this might get a little booboo, but i think it comes from i think that this kind of comes from our collective cohesiveness, you know, the sort of alloneness and we are all connected and i know that especially in todays world we tend to focus so much more on our differences, but we really have so much more in common. And when you hear from a stranger theres a reminder that youre a human being and deserve some level of dignity. One of the things thats interesting about you and you may have said this in the t. E. D. Talk was the idea you with going to insist on a different ending to my story. You were going to change the narrative in terms of where it was going. Right. I think one of the things which is really important for anybody who is suffering right now from Online Harassment or Cyber Bullying. Or done something embarrassing. Exactly, exactly. I think its to know that we can take back our narratives, we can hold onto our narratives and as you said, we can insist of a didnt ending to our story. Its not always easy and it can be scary to step out and do that but im incredibly grateful ive been able to do this. Is that part of what this is about . Changing the narrative to your story . I think to me the focus is really you knowing there were many time over the last two decades when i wasnt sure i would make it, and so i can really relate in a way to how a lot of people are feeling in todays world even though its for Different Reasons and now we have social media. So for me this sense of being able to use some of my experiences to help other people is in an impactful way im incredibly grateful. You made it, monica. Youve opened a national debate, too, as well. Best of luck. Thank you so much. Thank you for giving time to this topic. Thank you for coming back. Outrage dont leave us just yet.

Chernow is back with his seventh book. Its called grant. It chronicles the life of civil war general and 18th general ulysses s. Grant. N us at the table. Welcome. Thank you. Im pleased to be here. The famous first question, why grant . Well, ive always had this fantasy of writing a big sweeping saga of the civil war and grant is the person whos at the center of that. Its really two acts of the same drama. And just if you look through the prism of ulysses s. Grant, everything significant that happens between 18 f 1 and 1867, hes right smack at the center of it. What made him the great general he was . And he doesnt get credit for that. Its very interesting. Grant captured three confederate armies. He is the one romanticized. He never captured a union army. He was decisive, he was determined, he was aggressive, and unlike lee who had plans for winning individual battles, ulysses s. Grant had a plan for winning the entire war. He did that by taking all wars operating independently and coordinated it so it was a single functioning unit. He seemed to drink quite a bit as you pointed out in the book. He was a drivnker and had to promise not to drink. Whats the difference between a drunkard and an alcoholic . Its a victorian term. It was a failing. Now we realize its an alcoholic disease. Once he took one drink, he could not stop. It had a personality change. He became rather jovial. There was a definite personality to his drinking. A lot of people in good faith would say, i never saw grant do. What he would to, he would not touch a drop of alcohol for two or threemonth periods. After a major battle he would go to a small town on a side tripp, have a two or threeday bender his officers would never see and then hed come back fresh as a rose. They said he was a highfunctioning alcoholic. As you mentioned, it ranned in his family as well. He served in the mexican war and you talked in the book as far as grant was concerned the civil war because a consequence of the mexican war. Can you explain that a little bit more . Right. The abolitionists felt by adding taxes in the territories of the south and southwest union these would essentially become slave states and expand the power of the slave state empire. Grant, although he fought with distinction in the mexican war, he said it was the most unjust war in his view every waged against a weaker nation and indeed the acquisition of territory after the victorious war against mexico did ignite the debate about abolition. Im interesting in how he thought about lee. What was his did he theres a famous story that when he accepted the surrender as lee was coming back, you know, that Union Soldiers grant respected lee, but he also thought lee was highly overrated. He said robert e. Lee was a man who needed sunshine. He felt lee was politically operating in a political environmental much easier than the environmental in the south where he was constantly glorified where in the north there was more of the antiwar sentiment. He felt he was constantly bei l denigrated from his own side. Lee was fighting on home territory, lee was defighting ft territory, lee was defightings defensive war and grant had to protect them. When people talk about great memoirs, they talker Charles De Gaulle and they talk about ulysses s. Grant and then they suggest his friend or was he his friend mark twain may have been at the same time he was diagnosed with cancer of the tongue and throat and died in excuse ya zr exexcruciating pain. I went through every page of the original manuscript just to verify that the manuscript was in ulysses s. Grants handwriting and twain said of grabltss memoirs, the style is flowless, no man can improve upon it. How come he was such a great connection. There was a twain connection. He was such a good writer because grant wrote all his own. Charlie, he wrote all of his own speeches as president and he was also considered a great rah quan tear. So in a way hes produced which is now thought to be the greatest military memoir in military letters. The twain connection twain published the book. Twain published the book, yeah, absolutely. And he wrote 10,000 words a day. Will there be a musical or not . No. We asked lin when he was here. I dont think grant would move to a hiphopping beat. Big book. Grant goes on sale wherever you like to buy your books and you can hear more on our apples itunes and what a great morning. That does it for hey, girlfriend. Hows your cafe au lait .
