i have had many group conversations about this with my good friend richard frank. every time i got about riding into the book specifically macarthur he would then go and do something absolutely brilliant. then i would go and say, , i have to give them a credit now. that's a constant battle i have righting the book. i think that is reflective of the way is viewed in australia. he is very revered on one level as the saber of australia. when he first arrived in 1942 the u.s. counsel general was running back to the state department thing, look, these trillions have gone over the top in their admiration of him. there calling him the napoleon of the south pacific and all types of things. later on as a lot of the popular historians have written about the war they blame macarthur a lot for the a lot of the australian deaths in new guinea in 1942 . the also blamed the australian commander- in-chief general blaming for it as well. is a mixed opinion about macarthur. on one level he is seen particularly in a lot of political circles and some areas as someone who is a great se

. >> thank you, frank and everybody for a wonderful panel session. i'm reflecting on comparison between yesterday morning's panel on presidential memory and history and what both richard and frank talked about today, and that is how the perception of a president changes over the decades after they leave office. and the -- my question is, if that's true, that means that the perception of the president that's presented by the media currently is not accurate, and whether that's fake news or it's not fake news, i wonder if -- since i don't hear it very often, if there's any reflection that you hear among journalists and people who study this issue as to whether there could be a better job done by journalists instead of just always apologizing for how good journalism is and how the president is the one, like you were saying, that's always just angry over being covered in that way, if history changes the view, then maybe journalism is not doing its job today. >> good question. we have about seven minutes left so we'll do this quickly and take as many quest

richard: virgin was synonymous with music credibility, so frank zappa, the rolling stones, so we had a very credible brand. one day, there was a young artist that came to me with this fantastic tape. i took it to a number of record companies, and none of them would put it out. i thought, screw that, we will start our own record company, and we put it out on our own record company. and it became a great success. david: so you have a record retailing company and a record production company, both called virgin. richard: yeah. david: and somebody drew a v for you to be your logo? richard: we decided we needed a hipper looking label, and someone came up with this very simple signature. david: then you decided you needed to start an airline. where did that idea come from? richard: it came from -- i was trying to get from puerto rico to the virgin islands. i was 28 years old and i had a lovely lady waiting for me. david: and you went to the virgin islands you like name virgin, i assume. richard: exactly. that is true. anyway, american airlines bumped us. i had been away from this lady for t

when they were exposed and confronted by frank senator richard hume, japan's ministry of foreign affairs, they try to deflect it as a rogue act by presenter the invited. now if that were true, somebody from the japanese government staff would have immediately interrupted at the seminar and disavow their government of this. they would have denounced it right then and there, they didn't do that. because it wasn't a rogue act. it was intentional. the government of japan is a shameless co-conspirator. i will note that seminars continue to be held and there's little reason to believe that the content has changed. there was one scheduled in london and i believe there was another scheduled in new york. in june of this year, just after japan was cited by the united states, their press reported potential draft legislation to purportedly address the child abduction issue. this is -- was an attempt to change the narrative. they noted that there is nothing under japan's legal system to deal with parents who refused to hand over their children in defiance of the court order. the proposal on an interi

. >> reporter: defiant to the end, but realistic, richard nixon became the first president to resign leaving behind accomplishment and deep shame. nixon biographer and admirer frank gannon is conflicted. >> he's an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a puzzle. most fascinating, brilliant, complex, complicated -- shakespearean. >> reporter: at the end of the day, gannon hears from visitors a welcome reaction. >> i don't like him anymore than when i came in but had no idea he did all of these things which affect my life today. >> reporter: at the entrance to the library an invitation. who was this man? walk these halls and you decide. >> you go through all the accomplishments and then you turn the corner, and there's a long corridor, big, bold letters, watergate. and it is unvarnished. they tell the truth about what happened and how it unfolded, and nixon's role in all of that. i was astonished by the candor of it and also there's a kind of -- not only historic part of it, but it's quite beautiful in southern california, and, know, i was a reporter during that time and i had a lot of

richard sherman, his era is over." >> it's like a mouse in a room, you know. it's like kids say the darnedest things, you know. it didn't bother me at all, you know. it just seemed like a guy who was probably tired of hearing the same questions like i wasn't even part of that game and they're still asking him questions after the game about me. i'd probably be pretty annoyed, too. >> reporter: sherman won't like this, but seattle can clinch a playoff berth if they beat the 49ers on sunday. how about that? hey, who is going to stanford? >> no, no. >> reporter: no comment. stanford women's volleyball jacked out of their minds to be back in the final four. the cardinal looked every bit the no. 1 ranked team in the country. they made quick work of byu e to the finals saturday. they are 33-1 this season. >>> finally stanford basketball fans, check out who is coming to an arena near you. st. regis high in denver threw it town. they may want that in the playbook because she's set to attend stanford next fall. i suggest you all work hard and go to stanford. okay. every

for central command and general richard clarke to be special operations command. of course, we appreciate very much your many years of service and will expect when you are recognized for your opening statements that you recognize your families. it's a very important part of your being here today. we do have a-- some required questions and i'd ask you to answer these questions so that-- audibly so we'll be able to hear your response. the first one, have you adhered to the laws and regulations governing conflicts of interest? >> i will. >> i will. >> all right. do you agree when asked to give your personal views, even if those views differ from the administration in power. >> i will. >> have you assumed any duties or undertaken any actions which would presume the outcome of the confirmation process? >> no, sir. >> no. >> will you ensure that your staff will comply with deadlines for requested communications including questions for the record in hearings? >> i will. >> i will. >> will you cooperate and providing witnesses and briefs in response to congressional reque

richard shelby and many other people who did contribute. and when the chips were down, the congress did what they had to do. >> and he reappointed ben bernanke as chairman of the fed. and what ben did was incredibly courageous, because what you saw, that monetary policy, extraordinary monetary policy, and we were growing at 2% from the third quarter of 2009 on while we delivered, and there are all kinds of naysayers. he took incredible criticism. he had the courage to do that, and that's a big reason for the recovery. it's not something really dramatic to talk about like some of these rescues, but it played a huge role. >> can i just say i think both these presidents were willing to try to let a bunch of people around them figure out what was best for the country despite the terrible political costs of most of those choices, and they are willing to have people debate what made sense to try to figure out what was the best of the terrible options available, and to try to focus on what was right and what was effective, not their near term poli

people like barney frank and chris dodd and richard shelby and many other people who did kron tribute. when the chips were down, the congress did what they had to do. >> both these presidents were willing to try to let a bunch of people around them figure out what was best for the country, despite the terrible political costs of most of those choices. and willing to have people debate what made sense. figure out what was best of the terrible options available. and focus on what was right and what was effective, not their political interest. >> final thoughts, mr. chairman? >> we're doing this -- we participated in this documentary ten years later. we thing it's important for people to remember this. you know, the enemy is forgetting. if we forget about what happened, it's going to be too easy to say well, you know, we can unwind protections. it's important to keep alert and make sure our system is strong enough so whatever new shocks hit, we'll be able to absorb them without having consequences for the economy. >> all right, the special report, panic, the untold story of the 2008 fina

described as second only to frank lloyd wright. the work of this legendary architect, whose contribution to california modernism is i am measurable. help define modernism around the world. the large house was the first of five houses designed by richard in san francisco. it was not one of his largest projects, probably because the owners were not wealthy. they were teachers and art. one teacher and one artist. or little people. as leona helmsly used to describe such. in my unprofessional opinion, the architect is capable of restoring the house. it would be a testament to our city's honest concern for its architect actual history if the commission is able to ask for this solution. out of respect for this valuable and graceful contribution to san francisco's architect actual history, and as a deterrent to future developers bad behavior, i ask you to have the house restored. thank you so much for the time that you take listening to us. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> and then be rewarded. despite the willful and acknowledged

. >>> frank clark delivered this message to his former teammate in advance of this sunday's rematch. at the end of the day this is my team now, this is my defense. richard sherman in his era is over here. >> i would be annoyed, too, if you asked me about a guy not involved in the game. the error was over in my mind. i'm here. in lots of hot water. as we mentioned earlier in the newscast pg&e admitt >>> right now at 6:30, in lots of hot water today. pg&e admitting to falsifying records. now anger from customers about footing the bill for costly wildfire claims and possible rate hikes. they asked the cpuc for permission to increase rates. >> this is not sitting well with customers and the general public. here is sam brock. >> reporter: a request for more money already has people talking. >> they should be paying us. we're out here breathing all funny, have to wear masts and have children out here sick. >> reporter: the $3 billion ask isn't about liability from recent fires but rather part of a rate case made every three years that they say will pay for stronger and more resilient poles

nixon biographer frank gannon is conflicted. >> hewr is an enigmped in a riddle, wrapped puzzle. fascinating, brilliant, complex. shakespearian. >> reporter: at the end of the guy, gannon hears a welcome than i did w hen i came in, buti had no idea he did al wthese thinch affect my life today. >> reporter: at the entrance to theibrary, an invitation. who was this man? walk these halls and you decide. actually, it's architecturally and in terms of content ang stri and historic building. you go through the russian opening,enhe china g, aou turn there is a long corridor and in big bold letters watergate. they t oe it at his library. the national parks foundation had a big role in that. they have to sign off on what goes on there i wasstunned, quite honestly. and i covered watergate. i was stunned by how effective it is d how instructive it is whenever you stand in th richard nixon area. >> how you get from a landslide re-election to watergate. the expert says at the heart is insecuri. >> and the essential question, why was the watergate break-inn ssary? they now they were going to b

it is a mainstay here in the lobby of the mission inn. 1940, richard and pat nixon were married here in the hotel, the presidential suite at that time. it would be later on that he would become the conscious men -- the congressman, the president, etc. frank miller, despite the fact that he was not a highly educated individual, he ran in circles with attorneys, tycoons of business, and the like. manas the consummate hotel and the consummate booster for riverside. the house at 3356 lemon street in riverside became the focal point of a legal battle in 1915 when california sued a japanese immigrant for violating their alien land law. now undergoing preservation work, the home helps tell the story for the fight of civil rights of the state. >> it turned out to be a flashpoint for an initial battle against the exclusionary policies by the state of california, and the nation as well, against japanese-american and asian immigrants. it is not a mansion. it is an ordinary house. but it was occupied by japanese immigrant who decided he was not going to put up with the continuation of the prejud

my question is this, looking forward, and i hope this isn't too far off frank, but what was the trajectory in the democratic party after 1968 that made them incapable of mounting such a fractured challenge to richard nixon four years later? can you summarize what was going on within the party that they were not able to put together reasonable challenge to nixon by 1972? thank you. >> thank you. >> well, i would say, i mean, the problem is the party was hopelessly divided. it was divided when not just on the war, but between sort of its establishment and sort of activist wings. so you had a situation in which george mcgovern ends up being the nominee in '72, several of the unions refused to endorse him. a lot of moderate, conservative democrats didn't support mcgovern's candidacy. huge divides in the party. and i shouldn't minimize. it was obviously important. mcgovern was a strong anti-war candidate and a lot of democrats didn't support that position. but i think also you had this huge divide between southern democrats and northern democrats, particularly over civil rights. mcgovern was mu
