Percentage of them but they do exist who feel at though their identity is under a certain sense of crisis and who are looking to these groups who are expressing their grievances sometimes in horrifically violent way. Were nowhere near to problem europe has. Lets be clear. We have had 3,000 or so europeans who have left to join isis, and almost zero very close to zero of them in america, and i will also say that this overwhelming focus that we have on islamic terrorism and islamic extremism in the United States is absurdly exaggerated and more dangerously, think, hides the truth. The department of homeland security, the fbi, and 74 of every single Law Enforcement agency in the United States all say that the greatest threat to americans is rightwing extremism, rightwing terrorists. They have killed far, far more than americans since the attacks of 9 11 than islamic terrorists have. Youre more likely in this donee to be shot by a todd than to be killed by an islamic terrorist at awful as
Really details in the early part what makes why she is compelled to collect this literature. But read everything. You have time. They are reset all the other ones i love. But i think we see these contradictions. We see hurston the biographer, hurston who has who takes black people in the western hemisphere so seriously and is the first to say we do is a religion. And this is why. Why. These are components. And yet, hurston who has moments of american nationalism about the u. S. Occupation. Hurston who is so u. S. Centric do and how she sees the caribbean. So i think you get all the hurstons we have been talking about in and i agree with the characteristics, just because this just so wonderful to see you take so seriously and how you going to a blacks house and everything is on an angle or how we turn nouns into verbs. And right whenever i you hear someone use a word conversation i think of the world hurston. Thats not bad language, if there were doesnt exist we make it exist. Hurston h
To do with that. And there is talk about professors on campus being afraid to come out as being conservative. Any comment on that . Yes, thank you for coming. Kirk like most conservatives was confused by the 1960s. He attacked some radicals on campus but he was willing to engage. One of my favorite stories, he was asked to speak at the university of michigan and asked to speak by sds and the black panthers. He was to debate tom hayden and got in front of the crowd, a radical group, but kirk was without question, a gentlemen. He treated people with respect. Tom hayden came late. Kirk had to get started and hayden had not showed up so kirk gave a speech and hayden came in from the back room and started launching into clerk as defender of corporate capitalism and a person defending the establishment. There was a young man, an africanamerican man in the front row who was a convinced black panther and as soon as hayden launched into kirk this guy stood up and started yelling and said you ha
[inaudible conversations] thank you for coming. Nice crowd. First of all, i have to deal with the title of this panel, which really, through history, laws of nature, laws of man. The title is a little difficult for me as a political reporter, i write about the laws of man and i never think about the laws of nature unless im covering a Natural Disaster, like our 1994 earthquake. Our panelists have two tasks, most important for them is to talk about their books in such a compelling manner that you will all brush out afterward, by copies and have the authors assign them. The book signing is in signing area number one. This is noted on the festival math in the center of the program or one of the volunteers in the room will help direct you i have been thinking. The laws of nature explains like the formation of the great coral reef, once thought of as permanent and now, we know theyre not. We hope the laws of man can save them from global warming. These of books deal with these two conflicti
We are looking at bellwether counties and places like florida, virginia, ohio, north carolina, new hampshire, colorado and wisconsin which is an interesting case because republicans have not quite one wisconsin yet but because of some of the changes that occurred over the last few years and wisconsin i think they had a good opportunity. The idea is to find those voters are because they teach you in this book is the reason why republicans went local and state elections but cant when president ial election is because they have lost touch with the voters are. The National Level has lost touch on the local level. Host us go to Hamilton County ohio, cincinnati base, who are some of the voters that republicans have lost and how can they get them back . Guest Hamilton County is interesting case because its the only county that had a net population loss over the last two decades. All the rest of the the challenges are more about population growth, people coming in from other parts of the count
