Revolutionized american history. Whenever started working on the book people would react with recognition when i said i was writing about joseph pulitzer, but it was clear from their expression they knew the name and nothing about his life. He shares his fate with our herd novellas the wellknown for prize, which he endowed, but not for what he did in his life. Few people remember that offered nobel was explosive munitions maker and view people understand the significant world of joseph pulitzer. Like some of the giants of the 18th century whose names we remember, kartik carnegie, rockefeller all of these people. Pulitzer played a role at critical moment in american history, which is the Industrial Age took the age that made america the way we think of ourselves today. The role he played is he was really the midwife of the birth of the modern mass media. Before his time we did not have the kind of media we now swimming everyday.

Host and so database the period you must be very proud. You should be required reading at every college and university. What were you thinking about when you decided to write this book . Ask out and, weve had such a phenomenal change for women in politics on the democratic side at least over the past 30 years. People have been asking me to write this book for years and i thought you know, ive got to get the record out on what weve done and how its changed. Of course in the process was remembering all of these remarkable women, wonderful races and win in the world is a different place when you look at the congress now.

I think back about when i first came into office. I want to thank you because obviously we didnt spend as much money and those days being 60,000 was huge. Im appreciative as ma
Probably have have had friends who have died doing that. To me, it goes against everything in the american ethos not to be doing that. Theres a lot of unanswered questions, were still getting information now that had to be pulled out through subpoena. We dont know where the president was, what hillary was doing. You know everything what they were doing during the bin laden raid, but you dont know any of this stuff, and then, of course, you have the coverup, and it really goes in with my book for personal political gain. They wanted to show that libya was pacified because libya was their baby right . That was their intervention under the guise of the duty to protect, to stop gadhafi from killing his people. I would submit to you many more people were killed after they destabilized it. Genocide genocide of christians. Isis has a Radio Station a tv station in libya right now. Its a disaster.

Remember knocking once, twice ive misplaced the sun still in the door creak open and there stood this black man, who looked a cute lifted out of the mrs. A 1930s. He had a stutter. Later he told us he cant bless with a stutter one state at a time. His name is james dixon. He was 95 and he was living here, happy to send the 40s. He was part of this migration . Who did something no blacks in america, kind of win against the grain of the great migration. The great migration within the south to North Industrial cities and came west to Oakland San Francisco and l. A. There was a tribe of black okies from the south and southwest, who wanted to retain the rur
