in 1977, leon sullivan, a baptist minister from philadelphia and a member of the board of directors at general motors, introduced a corporate blueprint focused on ending apartheid. sullivan called un-american companies to pull their businesses and investment out of south africa until meaningful democratic reforms were enacted. facing government sanctions, corporate pressure, economic instability, and student protests, south africa ended apartheid and began a new era. today, sullivan's blueprint for corporate civil disobedience is being hailed as a way to tackle gun reform in america at a time when it seems congress is unable to act. elizabeth levy is a senior vice president at trillium. how do you think about where you are investing your clients' mo ney? do they say, i don't want to be invested in something like that? >> we don't invest in companies that drive more than 10% of the ulcer -- their sales from alcohol, tobacco, pornography, and weapons. soledad: this is not the first school shooting of the year, but for some reason, this particular event has had an impact. like you think t

let's bring back julie manchester and tom sullivan. "the times" reports that this strategy might help his standing to sue daniels even if the sign -- even if he didn't sign that nondisclosure agreement. but is the political risk of signing onto the case worth it for the president? >> yeah, that's a big question that's going to have to be answered in the coming days and weeks. he's bringing himself closer to this case. it's clear that his attorney has been trying to separate the president from this situation entirely. now he has a direct connection to it. and, you know, it's a pretty extraordinary situation when you step back and think about it. the president of the united states in tand one of his long- attorneys going up in a potential high-profile legal battle against a private citizen. the other thing this does is bring back to the center of the national political conversation questions about this payment that mr. cohen is said to have made. because there are watch dog groups and people who have said hold on a second, this could pot

sullivan: isn't iran -- mr. votel: iran is an aspect of this but so is russia and the regime itself. our mission of course has been focused on isis. and so we still have isis that we are addressing. that's where our particular focus is. i would tell you that while we don't have a specific task to do something against iran in this particular area, our strong relationships with the syrian democratic forces, with our -- certainly our strong relationships with the iraqi security forces, do put us in a position where we can, through our strong relationships, can have influence, can encourage them to conduct operations and do things that are in the interests of their countries as opposed to other parties in the area. mr. sullivan: can i ask a final question, my time is running out. we know now that during the 2004-2005-2006 time frame, that the iranians were supplying iraqi shi'a militias some of the most sophisticated, deadly i.e.d.'s on the battlefield that ended up killing and maiming thousands of american troops.

it is usually called john sullivan's expedition. it was george washington's expedition. he planned it, he conceived of it, he sent out questionnaires, he micromanaged this. it earned him, from the iroquois, the name "town destroyer." sullivan's expedition marched through iroquois country, destroyed 40 iroquois towns, at least 160 bushels of corn. cutdown orchards. the way to defeat them was not to fight them in battle. launch to do it was to assaults into indian country. usually around early october where you could destroy the cornfields late enough in the season so that it was too late to plant another crop, rendering indian people hungry for the winter, destroying their homes, and has a much greater impact than trying to fight indian warriors. in the 19th century, the same strategy worked on the great plains, except their people are defending buffalo herds rather than corn. so you destroyed the buffalo herds. that expedition is certainly a response to iroquois attacks. but there is something else going on here. the war in the west, in the ohio country, continues long a
