WELCOME. WELCOME TO THE LAST SUNDAY OF MIAMI BOOK FAIR INTERNATIONAL. I WILL INTRODUCE RALPH NADER... |
| 00:10:49 |
|
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE. I ALWAYS LIKE TO THANK MITCH CAPLAN BECAUSE HE WAS SO INSTRUMENTAL... |

| 00:56:28 |
|
THAT WAS RALPH NADER TALKING BY HIS SATIRICAL NOVEL, IT "ONLY THE SUPER RICH CAN SAVE US." C-SPAN... |
| 01:01:58 |
|
WRITING IN PURSUIT OF A THEME OR AN ARGUMENT. WHILE IT'S NOT WRITTEN IN A LEGAL STYLE, BECAUSE THAT... |
| 01:03:29 |
|
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY WORDS A MINUTE YOU TYPE? |
| 01:03:32 |
|
WELL, BECAUSE I CORRECT IT AS I GO ALONG. |
| 01:03:34 |
|
YEAH. |
| 01:03:38 |
|
I WOULD GUESS 40 OR 45 WITH ACCURACY. AND JUST A COUPLE OF CORRECTIONS. BUT NO MORE THAN THAT. I... |
| 01:04:52 |
|
AT WHAT POINT DO YOU GET YOUR MAN MANUSCRIPT TO AN EDITOR, AND HOW MUCH DO YOU WORK WITH AN EDITOR,... |
| 01:04:59 |
|
NO. THAT VARIES. YOU GET EDITORS WHO REALLY WANT TO IMPINGE. [LAUGHTER] THEY REALLY WANT TO GET IN... |
| 01:08:06 |
|
IF WE COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND OBSERVE YOU WRITING YOUR FIRST BOOK, HOW DIFFERENT WOULD THAT BE?... |
| 01:08:14 |
|
WELL, MY FIRST BOOK WAS ACTUALLY MY SECOND BOOK EXCEPT THAT NOBODY -- AND I DON'T EVEN THINK I EVER... |
| 01:10:08 |
|
DID CAN YOUR WRITING METHOD CHANGE A LOT SINCE THEN, THE WAY YOU TAKE NOTES, THE WAY YOU DO YOUR FIRST... |
| 01:10:21 |
|
OH, I THINK YOUR METHODOLOGY CHANGES. NOW, IF YOU'RE SOMEONE WHO DOES ESSENTIALLY OUT OF FOUR OR FIVE... |
| 01:13:26 |
|
WHERE DOES YOUR, WHAT'S THE STAGE OF YOUR PROCESS WITH THAT BOOK NOW? |
| 01:13:32 |
|
OH, IT'S JUST, IT'S BEEN OUTLINED, AND IT'S BEEN SOLD, BUT IT'S JUST RESEARCH AT THIS POINT. I'M... |
| 01:14:30 |
|
I SEE ONE HERE, "STRANGERS WITHIN THE REALM." JUST TO ASK YOU, IT'S GOT ALL OF THESE -- |
| 01:14:36 |
|
CULTURAL MARGINS OF THE FIRST BRITISH EMPIRE. THIS WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT IRISH AND GERMANS AND SCOTS... |
| 01:16:01 |
|
AND THEN OF ALL THESE BOOKS ON THE TABLE HERE, HOW MANY OF THEM WILL YOU READ -- WILL YOU READ ANY... |
| 01:16:13 |
|
I WOULD SAY THAT I PROBABLY READ 20-30% COVER TO COVER, BUT PROBABLY ALMOST ALL OF THEM IN THE SENSE... |
| 01:16:43 |
|
WHAT ABOUT ALL THESE, THESE OTHER THINGS AROUND HERE? |
| 01:16:50 |
|
WELL, WELL, I COULD TELL YOU IT'S ALWAYS SORT OF EMBARRASSING. THE JUNK ON THE FLOOR, PILES PROBABLY... |
| 01:18:38 |
|
THESE BOOKS HERE RIGHT WHEN YOU WALK IN YOUR FRONT DOOR, WHAT ARE THESE? |
| 01:18:43 |
|
THESE ARE ABOUT A HALF TO TWO-THIRD BRITISH HISTORY. AND THAT, FOR ME, IS ENORMOUSLY RELEVANT IN MY... |
| 01:20:57 |
|
SO WHAT DO YOU HAVE HERE? |
| 01:21:03 |
|
WELL, THIS GROUP AND THIS GROUP HERE AND PROBABLY A BIT ON THE BOTTOM, TOO, THEY WERE ALL BOOKS THAT... |
| 01:22:53 |
|
ANY RHYME OR REASON TO THE OTHER BOOKS UP HERE? |
| 01:22:56 |

| 01:23:20 |

THE DOCTRINE OF DISCOVERY IS A LEGAL PRINCIPLE THAT DESCRIBES HOW EUROPEANS CAME TO THIS CONTINENT... |
| 01:25:26 |
|
AND DID THE DOCTRINE OF DISCOVERY STILL IMPACT ANY GOVERNMENT DECISIONS TODAY? |
| 01:25:30 |

ABSOLUTELY. THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT ADOPTED THIS DOCTRINE OF DISCOVERY IN AN 1823 SUPREME... |
| 01:26:52 |
|
IN THE FORWARD TO YOUR BOOK, SHE WRITES THAT HISTORY IS AN ELUSIVE AND MISLEADING DISCIPLINE AND IT'S... |
| 01:27:12 |

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE U.S. GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO DO TODAY TO HELP RIGHT SOME OF THEIR EARLIER WRONGS?... |
| 01:28:54 |

| 02:38:22 |

| 02:43:22 |
|
FOR MR. HEDGES, OBAMA WAS AGAINST INVADING IRAQ IN 2002. HE PROMISED CHANGE IN 2008. ONCE HE WAS PRESIDENT... |
| 02:43:43 |
|
BECAUSE OBAMA IS A BRAND. OBAMA, YOU KNOW, HE -- THINK OF OBAMA THE WAY THAT REMEMBER WHEN CALVIN... |
| 02:45:46 |
|
ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU, CHRIS. |
| 02:45:50 |
|
IOWA NO BUT I'VE GOT TO ASK THIS. IF YOU HAD BEEN PRESIDENT IN 2007 AND GEORGE TREASURY SECRETARY... |
| 02:46:21 |
|
THE DECISION TO COMMIT $12.8 TRILLION IN GUARANTEES, LOANS, TO A FINANCIAL SYSTEM DOMINATED BY SPECULATORS.... |
| 02:48:29 |
|
THIS IS FOR MR. TANENHAUS. FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU DEFEND YOURSELF AND SECONDLY I WANTED... |
| 02:48:56 |
|
THAT'S AN INTERESTING QUESTION. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CYCLES OF HISTORY THAT BOTH SCHLESINGER,... |
| 02:55:04 |
|
I WANT TO JUST ADD ONE THING. I THINK IT IS TRUE THE PENDULUM BASICALLY DOES GO BACK AND FORTH AND... |
| 03:02:24 |
|
MUCH OF THE THREE OF YOU HAVE SAID I FEEL IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO A PHENOMENON THAT GOES BY THE NAME OF... |
| 03:03:19 |
|
CAN I OFFER ONE QUICK EXPLANATION THAT'S MENTIONED IN MY LOCAL? A VERY BRILLIANT POLITICAL ANALYST... |
| 03:03:58 |
|
THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY IS AN ELDER [INAUDIBLE] -- |
| 03:04:04 |
|
RICHARD GOODWIN WROTE THAT IN 1967. AND THE ACTUAL TERMS ARE STILL IN USE TODAY. AND WHAT THE RIGHT... |
| 03:04:23 |
|
BUT, SAM, WHY DOESN'T CHRIS'S TERMS, CORPORATE SOME, PUSH ASIDE SOCIALIZED MEDICINE AND THE REST OF... |
| 03:04:37 |
|
ONE ANSWER TO THAT WOULD BE THAT HERE IS AN INTERESTING CONTRADICTION THAT WE HAVE THAT THOSE ARE... |
| 03:04:50 |
|
I DON'T KNOW IF HE EMBRACES THEM BUT HE USES THEM. [LAUGHTER] CHEERS PART OF THE PROLOGUE WANTED SOME... |
| 03:05:19 |
|
THAT'S WHY MY BOOK IS CALLED "EMPIRE OF ILLUSION." |
| 03:05:21 |
|
WELCOME THE PROBLEM IS -- [LAUGHTER] |
| 03:05:25 |
|
-- IF THE VERY VOTERS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THESE DRASTIC DOWNSHIFTS IN THEIR ECONOMIC STATUS WON'T... |
| 03:05:43 |
|
LET ME ADD A SECOND THING, THAT'S THE TERM CHRIS USED AND YOU MENTIONED, GEORGE, I FEAR I MAY BE WRONG... |
| 03:06:34 |
|
BASICALLY THE REPUBLICANS FROM McCARTHY TO THE REAGAN AND GINGRICH SEES THE LANGUAGE AND TO GET TO... |
| 03:08:25 |
|
FIRST OF ALL MOST OF MY RELATIVES AT BEST FINISH HIGH SCHOOL THEY CAN CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THIS LINK... |
| 03:10:56 |
|
TIME FOR ONE MORE QUESTION. [INAUDIBLE] |
| 03:10:58 |
|
THIS FOR EACH OF YOU. 24 HOUR NEWS INCREASED ITS RATE OF SPEED OF NEWS, SO THE NEWS IS GETTING DONNER.... |
| 03:11:09 |
|
I'M SORRY COLLIER SAID THE NEWS IS GETTING DUMBER? |
| 03:11:15 |
|
A DUMBED DOWN. BLOGS ALLOW EVERYBODY TO RETREAT IN THEIR OWN GROUP AND NOT HAVE PROOF OF ANYTHING... |
| 03:11:55 |
|
I THINK THE FIRST THING THEY CAN DO IS SURVIVE. I MEAN THAT IS A BRILLIANT DISTILLATION OF WHAT IS... |
| 03:12:45 |
|
WE ARE OFFERING THEM BY BALLOT. [LAUGHTER] "THE WASHINGTON POST" IS BECOMING A SHELL OF ITSELF. THE... |
| 03:13:42 |
|
IT IS A CULTURAL PROBLEM. WE SHIFT FROM A PRINT BASED SOCIETY TO IMAGE BASED SOCIETY. SOMETHING WRITERS... |
| 03:16:57 |
|
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT WRAPS IT UP. I HOPE TO HAVE ENJOYED AS MUCH AS I HAVE. [APPLAUSE] [INAUDIBLE... |
| 03:17:17 |
|
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MR. TANENHAUS HAS ONE LAST COMMENT. PLEASE. |
| 03:17:25 |
|
ALL I WAS GOING TO SAY IS I'M AFRAID BOTH OF MY COLLEAGUES ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I WANTED TO ADD ONE... |
| 03:18:31 |
|
ARE YOU OFFERING ME A BUYOUT? [LAUGHTER] SO I REALLY -- THE GUY THAT EDITS THE BOOK REVIEW I'M REALLY... |
| 03:18:51 |

| 03:19:31 |
|

| 03:19:54 |
|
THE FLAG IS AN EXTRAORDINARY SYMBOL BECAUSE IT HAS REPRESENTED WHENEVER THE MAJOR ISSUE IS IN AMERICAN... |
| 03:20:27 |
|
THE BOOK EXAMINES EIGHT HISTORICAL MARKERS. HOW DID YOU CHOOSE THIS SPECIFIC POINT IN HISTORY FOR... |
| 03:20:37 |
|
IT WAS A WONDERFUL PROCESS. WHY DID THIS BEGAN AND LOOKED AT ALL THE DIFFERENT FLAG STORIES I COULD... |
| 03:21:11 |
|
DO YOU MIND SHARING SOME OF THE SPECIFICS? |
| 03:21:13 |
|
SHORE. ONE OF THE STORIES PEOPLE FIND PARTICULARLY COMPELLING IS ABOUT THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT WHEN... |
| 03:22:25 |
|
HOW HAS THE FLAG BEEN USED IN DIFFERENT WAR WHETHER IT IS THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR CIVIL WAR, WORLD WAR... |
| 03:22:33 |
|
I WOULD SAY THE FLAG HAS TWO DIFFERENT MEANINGS AND WAR AND THESE ARE SOMETIMES SEPARATE AND SOMETIMES... |
| 03:23:08 |
|
HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROMINENT AMERICAN SYMBOL? |
| 03:23:11 |
|
IT HAS NOT ACTUALLY PAID IN THE REVOLUTIONARY ERA IF YOU ASK ANYONE WITH THE PROMINENT SYMBOL WAS... |
| 03:23:23 |
|
HOW DID THAT CHANGE OVER TIME? |
| 03:23:26 |
|
IT WAS IN THE 1840'S WITH THIS LARGE IMMIGRATION THERE WERE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO REALLY OPPOSED... |
| 03:24:08 |
|
YOU MENTIONED IT WASN'T PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED? |
| 03:24:12 |
|
IT WAS IN THE 1840'S KNOW, IF HE WERE TO WALK ON A STREET IN THE 1840'S YOU WOULDN'T SEE FLAGS ON... |
| 03:24:42 |
|
HOW IS THE AMERICANS' USE OF THE FLAG AS A SYMBOL -- HOW DOES IT COMPARE WITH OTHER COUNTRIES? |
| 03:24:47 |
|
I RECANTS USE IT MORE. IT'S INTERESTING. THAT IS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I WANTED TO INVESTIGATE WHEN... |
| 03:25:13 |
|
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS? |
| 03:25:15 |
|
I THINK IT IS BECAUSE OUR HISTORY AS AN IMMIGRANT NATION YOU CAN SEE THIS MOMENT IN THE 1890'S WHEN... |
| 03:25:42 |
|
HOW DID YOU BECOME INTERESTED IN THE FLAG AS A SYMBOL? AND HOW DID YOU DECIDE TO WRITE THE BOOK? |
| 03:25:51 |
|
I DID MY DOCTORAL WORK ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PATRIOTIC CULTURE IN THE 1890'S AND SO WHEN I WOULD TALK... |
