thomas. made a very the decision to to end his life and i know that this must be very difficult for you but can you talk about how how how he's chosen to do this and what the experience itself has been like for the both of you. well since then since the animalism it just it's been a deterioration over time and it's everything we've done in terms of procedures. and pills and surgeries has never gotten him back to where he was before the animalism so he had digestive issues that increasingly became very very difficult to pass to eat and pastoral and he was having chain in you know it was it just became. we lived with the suffering for the first three and a half years and we worked with it with the hospital and other pills and everything we had to do on a daily basis to get through a day in terms of care but once we hit last year he just the pain got too much we presented to the v.a. we had a revolving door of hospital visits and we got to the point where we were going to go into hospice last fa

complicated than the way the thomas makes me now back when i was working on these issues in the bush administration we worked very closely on reviewing a large number of files and charles will talk about this too and as as good as the review process is we tried to create the reality is that some of the people that we think are not involved in terrorist activity are going to return home and are going to be involved in terrorist activity we've seen detainees return to kuwait that when blew themselves up in iraq we saw detainees return to saudi arabia that have turned up with al qaeda in the arabian peninsula in yemen so no president rev a crowd like it doesn't matter who is this is going to be i want to say is not a let me finish please is going to be able to say with certainty that people that are being released are not going to gauge a terrorist activity when when these review process he's in people because the government thinks it's because the government thinks that the threat level. that these people pose can be managed it's not a state that they are either in a sense or a zero th

c-span: we're about out of time, but on page 144 you mention clarence thomas this way, "clarence thomas, who has since been named to succeed thurgood marshall." when was the last day you had to write something in this book? >> guest: that day. he had just been named. the galleys were open until almost the end, but if my thesis was true, there's no way that the book wasn't going to be out of date very soon because the scandals continue at a steady pace. c-span: but clarence thomas is discussed at great length in here for what reason? >> guest: he was involved in another scandal, a very different one. it had nothing to do with sex. it had to do with accusations that he had lied to congress during an investigation of the eeoc, of which he was chairman, and he came out of that pretty well. i don't think he did lie. c-span: but it involved, what, a senator -- a couple of senators? >> guest: it was a couple of senators, but the main one was melcher who said that thomas had withheld information about the eeoc's treatment of age discrimination cases. probably the opposite was true; that is, tho

take joji thomas' case. in the last year he's received four different statements from his bank outlining what he would owe in fees to reinstate his loan. the highest was $4,200 for things like property inspection fees, foreclosure fees, and other miscellaneous fees. >> the mortgage servicers are able to keep any fees and the longer they're able to stretch out a fror closure they're able to pile up more fees. even if the sale doesn't bring in enough money to pay off the mortgage loans, the servicer still gets paid. it's the investors who take it on the chin. >> reporter: bank of america's own ftc filings show it collected nearly $5 million in servicing fees in 2012. d dustin hobbs is with the california mortgage bankers association, the only industry represe representative who agreed to talk to us on camera. is this a financial model to string them along? >> no, not at all. the financial model that all servicers strive for is keeping borrowers in their homes, making their payments on time. >> reporter: he say

in any event this is a brief overview of the story of frederick thomas. i tried to tell you how much fun i had been doing this research, and i also find myself liking to repeat a russian saying on occasions like this, which is you don't have to feed me. just let me talk. [applause] >> after -- when rhetoric bought the land for $24 you said not many people do that. why do you think they do not? >> first of all, what freed black people did after the civil war to make a living as mostly sharecropping, which meant they were working of the land for a share of the crops that they could grow on. they exist for the sharecroppers show that their wages with them. the records indicated they were frequently cheated so it would have been difficult to accumulate the kind of money necessary to be able to bid even say $20 on a point of land. it remains the dominant occupation of black people in the south for decades after the civil war ended and when the reconstruction ended, the power structure did everything it could to dissuade black people from reaching the kind of i

thomas nast is you can see was very entertaining. he was friends with this photographer in new york and i guess they used to have photo sessions where they would dress up. so it was interesting he was like i need a blanket and a rough. okay. he is a fun person to spend time with then there's the great story from "harper's" about how one of the harpers came home from the office and walked in. he walks in the vestibule and he asked his housekeeper what it was. apparently nast had come to. >> with him but since he was in wasn't home had snuck up to the nursery and were leading the children on a game of chase through the house which was generating earthquake level noise. he was very entertaining. thomas nast died broke. he died relatively young at 62 years old. today his work survives primarily in glimpses. there will be a shot of his work and a shot of santa on a dessert plate. there will be a repurposed image of one of his tweed cartoons in the financial pages at some point. and that is partly because he left the world, left his wife a

suddenly the tables turned on clarence thomas and there was a public spectacle. did you expect that to happen? >> absolutely, i expected some reaction. and i knew that there would be a lot of negative reaction. but let me just go back and correct one thing. remember, there was controversy even early on in the confirmation process. the american bar association had looked at his record and gave him one of the lowest ratings that it had ever given. there were a number of individuals from civil rights organizations who had come forward to testify that this was not a good nomination, that this was a nomination that was going to set us all back as a country. so that was there. but then, as you say, nothing really like what happened once my testimony took place. and i stand by that testimony. it was the right thing to do. and i'll tell you why. people say, well, it was a sexual harassment claim against him. but really it was testimony about the integrity of the individual who was going to be appointed for a lifetime position. >> what was interesting to me at the time wa

let me get back to pierre thomas instead. pierre, from what you're talking to we just heard brad garrett and he's carefully calibrating what he said right now, but are you getting any indication from law enforcement officials right now that they have any idea who might have been behind this? >> again, too early according to my sources. they will have a list of the usual suspects that they will put on the table. but really the key is to try to get that information from the scene to point them in a particular direction. but until that happens, when they have a particular avenue to pursue. what they will look at is they'll go back over all intelligence, some of it which may have been deemed not credible, did they miss anything? they'll comb back through the previous intelligence leading up to today specifically anything that came into the boston area or the east coast. and they'll begin to look back. did we discount anything? did we blow anything away that we thought was not credible that we now know may be credible? that will b

yeah i'm generally in agreement with what thomas pointed out i think that the notion that you can blame let's just have a you notional nuclear program that produces a nuclear weapon in iran that somehow you can blame that on the israelis and their arsenal is farcical i think that iran does little there are many other reasons why iran would want to have a nuclear deterrence and it's not simply the existence of the israeli arsenal. of power in the area and they're also as a shia country they have real serious security concerns and if you look at a map of the united states. they're pretty much surrounded so there are other reasons why they might want to do it but the idea that it's going to somehow spawn other political thomas brought up is a very point i think we should discuss that saudi arabia is obviously the first country that people look at but other than that i don't think that the risk of a rapid amount liberation taking place in the area is likely it just doesn't seem to be in the cards right now in terms of how that's going ok but i think it's a double standard us thinks and it's

ok we can go back on thomas now who joins us on the line shawn thomas not the correspondent who that many gays in texas show me just been can you hear us say yes i can we just been hearing from the fireman there from texas he was one of the first on the scene he's been describing the devastation that took place but he also mentioned just as you did a few minutes ago about. local communities trying to rally to help. coming out with blankets except for that many new people as we know most seriously injured have been taken to hospitals in taste and and also my cow but when you experience those hospitals do have the facilities because it's such a tragedy today. well not really if you actually look at west texas itself is a town of a larger than three thousand people total living in that actual community where the devastation took place so any hospital or medical facility there would certainly not be able to cope with such devastation. out to the south which is where waco is and it's a whole there's a little bit of respite care but that town which is considered the largest city in the are
