let me ask you what did you see or hear that told you there was a need for this book? the book is an encounter of 25 years of thinking about history with a particular moment. because i work on the issues you talk about, the holocaust and the war, i know that the it that can happen can happen here. because my teachers were people who lived through the holocaust and communism. i know it can happen to people like us. because my students and younger friend in eastern europe are living through it now. i know it can happen now. the experience, the moment which triggered this experience which brought it to the present that led to the book was of course the campaign and then the victory of mr. trump who is unfortunately many of whose behaviors, actions, rhetorics remind me of things i think we had to remember. the book is built on 20 points, really guidelines, things to look for, things to act upon. we re going to show the audience what they are when we talk about
i know it can happen now. the experience, the moment which triggered this experience which brought it to the present that led to the book was of course the campaign and then the victory of mr. trump who is unfortunately many of whose behaviors, actions, rhetorics remind me of things i think we had to remember. the book is built on 20 points, really guidelines, things to look for, things to act upon. we re going to show the audience what they are when we talk about some of them starting with do not obey in advance. what does that mean? what does that sound like? it s about being an individual. when something changes, when something dramatic changes, our natural impulse is to adjust. most of the time that s perfectly appropriate. there are times and places where what s changed is so fundamental and so important that we need to take stock. we need to not adjust want not do what everyone else is doing. not drift. instead ask one s self what kind of person am i, what kind of individual,
basically wants to dump senator flake because he feels that he has been dishonest. every single time that he has these really terrible rhetorics, whether it was pennsylvania, now you see it in arizona, he s going because he s campaigning and he recognizes that he just wants to put another set in his k56r camp. this idea that he is representing all americans? it is clear that with the part of joe arpaio that he is only talking to a third of americans and that is a shame. because what you are saying right now, people are hungry for a unity. we need national i d tid adenti patriotism. and the majority of americans are on the right side of history. ray, the fact that senator jeff flake in arizona and john mccain have both denounced this pardon, what does that say, ares going to finally start standing
that s our interest. that is our deep national security interest. what assad is going to do next, i m not sure other than continue to murder people if he could get away with it. hopefully what he s doing next is he s deeply worried about losing power and being ousted and having to stand trial for war crimes. do you believe there is an international coalition that would help the u.s. get rid of assad? we re about to find out. but i could tell you it will not happen without strong american leadership. we can t solve all the world s problems, but there are very few problems in the world that can be solved without america. if america is willing to lead with a combination of military and a diplomatic solution to this problem, i believe our allies of course in europe. senator, what do you think this does for u.s./russian relations. do you think starting today we will hear different rhetorics
involved. you can t come and you can t come. from what i understand, it wasn t the case in new york. everybody marched in new york. what i was told is that that was not true of the organizers. yes, it was a mistake. this was about women marching. what else do you think as a trump voter? i thought the rhetorics were hateful. when you have an icon talking about bombing the white house and thinking about bombing the white house, what consequence does that create? what if someone else said that? someone did say it. about obama. ted nugent. it s bad on both sides. that s not powerful to create what should have been a positive movement. it should have stayed positive. i agree. it goes off to a negative avenue. we are trying to understand each other a little bit better. we spent a lot of time saying that trump s vile language and
