One more question, please. Everything i read about lynn or saw on twitter it seems like the pace is nonstop. In one part of the book someone asked him are you ever going to slow down you write like you are running out of time and he said i am. Do you share that same work ethic or was it hard to keep up with his pace as you were working with someone who literally never stops . We do kind of share the same work ethic. We didnt have choice. We had a deadline they set and had to keep turning out words as fast as we could. But you know, he is a very special man. The speed of his brain. It comes out when he was free flowing. He is funny and comes up with things moving. You have to be on your toes but he is a friend and that is one of the things i love about the guy. It never stops. Thank god because if it did maybe we would not have hamilton. I have to say everything jeremy just said about lin i would say about jeremy. Really, he is remarkable and i am so honored to know him and that he was
Cable or satellite provider. Afterwards is next on book tv. Florida University National Security Center Karen Greenberg discusses her book, rogue justice. She takes a look at the legal questions arising from policies and laws enacted to fight the u. S. War on terrorism after 9 11. She is interviewed by the author of the black answers, the inside story of 9 11 and the war against al qaeda. Host hi karen. Another great book i see. Rogue justice, rogue justice, the making of the Security State. What you mean by the term, rogue justice . Guest rogue justice is the term i gave to the way in which the mechanisms that are supposed to keep us safe from interference from the state, theyre supposed to protect the constitution went off the rails after 9 11. They have failed to really come back. So i call it rogue justice because it is out of control, outside the bounds of the law and it seems like a rogue element compared to what we expected and what we are use to. Host you have a lot of emotiona
Of the resurrection of the caliphate, the islam istate and if you die you will be rewarded. Fascism, maoism, up ultra right and ultraleft, appeal to particular most of to the young men and women are in search or identity. In search of an anchor, and isis provide them with a potent identity. A potent identity that gives them purpose in life, adventure, recklessness. Take oomar mateen. When i listened to his father, his father said i had given him the best education in america, the best occasion in america. And this tells you a great deal. He is a middle class. Their all most of them are guest so we have the middle class, advantaged areas, educated. Its a complex phenomenon but really there is one particular shared threat, is the idea of a utopia, the idea that both an identity, the idea they want to belong to a movement that gives them purpose in life, and this really has allowed isis to not only take the attacks in paris and belgium. The units led by adnani. Who is responsible for the
Moments ago we heard from the spokesperson sean spicer saying the president is confident the ban will be upheld. Theres no question the president respects the judicial branch, but i just read off the u. S. Code on that. I dont think theres any other way you can interpret that that the president has the discretion to do whats in es to kenecessa the country safe. I think he feels confident just like in the ruling in boston that were going to prevail on this on the merits of the case. Before sean spicers response there President Trump said he hoped this case would not ultimately need to go to the u. S. Supreme court. If you remember, isis said we are going to infiltrate the United States and other countries through the migration. And then were not allowed to be tough on the people coming in . Explain that one. We have a big court case, were well represented and well see what happens. Could it go to the Supreme Court . Well see, hopefully it done have to. Its common sense, some things are
Needed. Jeff sessions, the attorney general, he says he is open to an investigation of president Obamas Justice department. More from a revealing interview with sessions. That is ahead. Also on our agenda, a time warp. I guess history has a funny way of repeating itself. I think there has been too much of a focus here on arbitrary time lines and deadlines and baselines. As republicans take aim at obamacare, well talk with one of the democrats who was instrumental in passing it back in 2010. Well ask him. Does he have any regrets now. We begin, though, with our top story. House republicans, they are on a frantic time line right now. They are trying to push through the Health Care Reform plan through the house. That bill cleared one of the hurdles it faces today. Two committees. Two committees voted it out, kept it alive. House leadership now hoping to bring it to the floor for a vote in a matter of days. Two major questions right now loom over all of this. Number one, does paul ryan hav
