Taylor branch presents his thoughts on key moments of Civil Rights Movement. This is about an hour and 15 minutes. Thank you, mr. Hale. Thank you atlanta History Center. Ive been here before. Im glad to be back, and im glad to be back talking about something thats been a subject thats been dear to me for my whole life, and its inescapable now that im getting older that it is by lifes work, and im glad for it. This is another round. Im going to take more questions tonight than i normally do. Ill say provocative things about why this history is significant and about this project, itself, which is a little odd to spend 24 years writing a 2300page trilogy and come out a few years later with a 190page book. A lot of people who road the other ones think its not true that somebody else wrote it, that im not capable of writing something this brief. [laughter] i assure you that i did. There is blood on the floor of my office because it involved eliminating or at least setting aside 95 of what i
Hillary clinton clinched the number of delegates she needs to win the democratic nomination. The first woman to ever do so. Congratulations to her. Heres the secretary on the probability that she will be the first female president ial nominee of a major party. I am someone who has been very touched and really encouraged by this extraordinary conviction that people have, its predominantly women and girls, but not exclusively. Men bring their dauts to meet me and tell me that they are supporting me because of their daughters. And i do think it will make a very big difference for a father or a mother to be able to look at their daughter just like they can look at their son and say, you can be anything you want to be in this country, including president of the United States. Bernie sanders is still vowing to forge ahead. He says this race isnt over. Theres nothing to concede, secretary clinton will not have the requisite number of pledged delegates, to win the democratic nomination. She wi
Just what is the state of u. S. Russian relations and what should it be . I have a great panel to discuss it all. Also the 2018 election is just over 100 days away. What could russia do this time to try to meddle . And how about china . Or north korea . The cyber war expert david sanger tells us what we should really be worried about. And frances extraordinary world cup win. And the Innovative Program that brought the nation to victory. What the mosaic of different colors, Different National origins and different cultures can teach us all. But first, heres my take. Donald Trumps Press Conference in helsinki was the most embarrassing performance by an american president i can think of. His preposterous efforts to talk his way out of his troubles made him seem even more absurd. But whats secured by this disaster and humiliating performance is the other strain in trumps russia narrative. As he tweeted, our relationship with russia has never been worse thanks to many years of u. S. Foolish
It all. Also the 2018 election is just over 100 days away. What could russia do this time to try to meddle . And how about china or north korea . The cyber war expert david sanger tells us what we should really be worried about. And frances extraordinary world cup win and the Innovative Program that brought the nation to victory. What the mow sayic of different colors, National Origins and National Cultures can teach us all. But first, heres my take. Donald Trumps Press Conference in helsinki was the most emembarrassing performance by an american president i can think of. His disaster attempts to talk himself out of trouble made it more absurd. As trump tweeted, our relationship with russia has never been worse thanks to many years of u. S. Foolishness and stupidity. Now this is a serious issue worth takeing seriously. The idea that washington lost russia has been around since the mid 1990s. I know because i was one of the people who made that case. I argued in 1998 that washington was
The fbi dropped steele. He wasnt trusted anymore and thats because he blew his cover. He started talking to the media. They should have stopped relying on him at that point. Correct . Under fbi rules once you are close to you or closed. You need certain approvals to start reinitiating and reengaging. That is right. The fbi kept using him, correct . They met with him through bruce. Yes. They used him for information after he was cut off. They receive that information. 1 13 different times. Correct. Okay. Then we get this dossier, it is used as a big part of setting up this entire process for the fisa application. Christopher steele, the people at the fbi no Christopher Steele was untrustworthy, he was an untrustworthy foreign actor, he was a political hack, he didnt like trump, he was being paid by the clintons, but they still pushed forward with using him and exercised extremely poor judgment, correct . Certainly once they found out that they had decided to close him, they should have
