to the future of journalism question, i think, honestly, that journalism will look profoundly better ten years from now than it looks today. if you look at the coverage -- i'll use ours because it's what i'm intimate with. if you look at the coverage of e bow la and what it looked in a , it would have been fine. it would have been fabulous you. would have had great newport stories. you would have great photography, great journalist, all this stuff. but you wouldn't have had the videos on the "new york times" website that described, for instance, one young man writhing outside of a hospital with his parents screaming because there wasn't room for him in the hospital. you wouldn't have had the video in "the new york times" website produced by us in which an ambulance driver drove through the streets of monrovia looking for ebola victims whose families didn't want to touch him so he could pile them in the back of his truck and try to find a hospital that would take them. journalism -- let's put over here the debate over print versus digital. journalism is better today than it ever was b

that is a basic tenet of journalism. what you are talking about is when somebody wants to ask national security -- it has to come to me. i would say 95% of the time, i say no. i can think of a couple of times when i said yes. i can think of at least one time when i said yes and came to regret it because it was a mistake. i think i did not consult enough reporters. there is a very tiny, tiny number of instances in which it is very, very clear it would jeopardize a life and that's pretty much my criteria. i don't buy the argument that it's going to jeopardize relationships with a foreign country, foreign government. in every instance, pretty, you know, in every instance when that's become the reason, i always say no. and the times i've said yes which would have been years ago i've come to regret them. my rule is you really got to make the case that it would put somebody's life in danger. and there are a very small number of cases in which i've said yes as a result. i always insist they come directly to me. they're very, ju

i checked the journal. clark's notebook at that point -- he began writing, and i will read you these entries that he makes. these are in his journal. he owes the royal treasury $17.30. he writes, "i gave eight pounds -- hams of bacon to the officers of the customs house." the officers of the customhouse. he gave wine to eight inspectors. he paid a total b-r-i-b-e to inspectors. and he repeated. another bribe to inspectors, $3. it looks to me as though he was so much ashis duties he was bribing the officers in charge. it was a widespread practice. it was not just clark. many other individuals engaged in that because it was the way to do business at the time. as i said, i thought if this is a business trip, where our clark -- where are clark's records about doing business? i'm not sure. when it came to bribery, then i got interested in whether william clark made a connection with the business agent of his had ars-in-law who spanish passport to do business. clark did not write anything of his name. this indivi

not in william clark's journal. the museum in missouri, there is a one-page entry from william clark. it is a curious thing because william clark must have compiled it. a list of 13 strategic points from the mouth of ohio to new orleans. it names the forts. it also names the spanish forts and major confluences of rivers. it is not just a list of those locations, but also a list of their coordinates. latitude and longitude for each one of them. did william clark figure that? well, i don't know who would have in 1798. the really important thing about it is it is not listed in order of descending the river. it says at the top, in the order ascending the river. it starts with new orleans and ends with the mouth of the ohio. what good could that have been? most traders of the day were limited by the current of the mississippi. they could not fight it. very few could make their way upstream. military vessels could. was that for a military thing? i don't know, but there it is. >> could you give us an idea about what the mo

i think investigative journalism is more important than ever before. first, let's just consider the amount of information out there. in less than three days, google processes the same amount of information that all of mankind wrote down during all of human history in every single country in any language, so all of written recorded history, you know, going up until the internet age, google now processes all that information in just three days. so i think that journalists are valuable to try to help sort through that and separate fact from fix. so i like journalism because of the people that i meet, the stories that i get to do. and then also i hope that some of the journalism that i do is cone in the public interest and that it serves some kind of higher purpose. this is not just a story about money and oil. it's about people. the stakes are high. the territory sits atop 846 million barrels of oil worth beings of dollars. whether it be trying to hold government officials accountable r, you know, ex posing corruption or just telling people a little bit m

it was known as brown envelope journalism. the money is given to travel a journalists travel costs and expenses, the money affects the way a story is reported. that's what happened with the hostile last year. it's easy to condemn journalists, but the reality is that there's complex dis involved. journalists are among the worst paid reporters. in a country where corruption is from the top down, rooting it out of single institutions such as the news media is easier said than done.

thes a pleasure to be on journal. without going into detail, i think paul ryan summed up the republican position, and i think it had a lot of merit. i also think about debbie wasserman schultz and senator ben cardin, and their concerns. schultz made a statement that she personally untended security briefings with the president, and the reason that she and mr. cardin have concerns is that they represent big jewish districts and love israel. i think this is a situation they will have to work out. unfortunately, is the president had given all the members of congress, on both sides of the aisle, every aspect of this agreement, even the deals that he is holding back, or the concessions he is holding back, i think all of this would have been avoided. then everything would have been on the table, and they would have had an opportunity to vote up and down which way to go. i have been watching this for three days now, and the arguments are well put on both sides of the aisle. host: how much do you think this vote that was take

and as all of this points out journalism was created as a way to check government is powerful so in the ideal world what gsa should be the role of the u.s. government and the state department and embassies? as long as there are human beings there will never be the ideal world but i am under no illusion russia expanded their military bases that would be a nice empire for the chinese and maybe they're more conservative and other respects. the problem is that the empire has grown too big and there isn't effective bargaining power by other states. in many different areas of the world. to play of support by a china very few states can do that. if there is no accountability. even marriages are kept on this by people and organizations involved. now the structure of the u.s. empire is such it has us very corrosive effect leading to an extremely large military a state within the state more than 5.one and another 20 or 30 million people to have that distorting effect of the united states. you can see that when you look at the fruits and methods of occupation in afghanistan and iraq virtually at c

but my question was on journalism as a whole. i -- you mentioned earlier in anticipation of my question, perhaps, that there's so many ways to get information and news, and if you click on and get the guardian, the london times and all that, but my concern is, it seems you have to work really hard to get -- and now i get -- like npr and pbs and nightly news. what is your overall state of investigative journalism these days? that's. >> i want to wish you well, too in your fight with cancer, thank you, mr. brokaw. >> host: thank you very much, tim. tom brokaw. >> guest: we talk about this just a moment ago, and what i said was that you have to be more aggressive as a consumer, determining where you get you information, how reliable and credible it, investigative journalism, there's more being done than you realize. i'm very involved with the livingston awards, for 35 and under journalists and am every year we give it to very hard-core investigative journalists. a lot of them now are doing it in digital arenas and online, and breath
