he found this wasn'tjust anecdotal? yes. we wa nted this wasn'tjust anecdotal? yes. we wanted to cover the landscape of uk and ireland and find out what the actual situation was. we interviewed about 200 founders. we tried to understand who had experienced challenges during fund—raising over and above what you would expect to be normal. the results were quite shocking. we discovered thatjust under 50% of founders had either experienced discrimination first—hand, or knew somebody who had. this is shocking. we feel that the uk and ireland are advanced countries, yet the still exists. and it is the global centre for shared workspace, and those who want those provisions are people starting out, those beginning a business, or working as a sole trader, that kind of thing. they are the kind of people who need investment. yes, they are. most of our members are start—ups, scale out, businesses who go on to raise investment. and the flip side, investors. people looking to invest in technology. you would think putting all of these people together would open up the world o

so, i think that you are anecdote is important, but we have to think about how systematically americans learned this history that we don't have to rely on anecdotes from one person to the next which are important but that the educational system could be transformed in ways that teach this ongoing history. >> host: at what point in the writing did you come up with the title?>> >> guest: pretty early on i had the idea and i was kind of mystified that it had never been used. >> host: at the nex the next cas from keith. >> guest: in the race and religion i will get a backdrop in the early 70s, we got one of our first african american principles. buffalo new york is not the most financially physical place but it was a good place at the time. to make a long story short in the year 78 she took 53 students to europe. the significance of me telling you about the 63 students. it's the only country thatne actually mattered. i call it a mythology experien experience. it's everyone from james baldwin to jesse baker and others have gone to france and other european countries. it's a different system

add, the anecdotal is not data. some of the campaigns have reported there are so many volunteers and you never want to turn a volunteer away. they are double teaming and triple teaming across the country. have, notiasm people agonizing but organizing each district. leader pelosi, are you christmas -- confident? thing is about winning this election. thank you all. see you later. >> thank you. thank you for asking that question. >> this is the battlefield as you can imagine. potentially here is -- these are the districts across america. and every district across the country. and how we are able to get this done. there is 111 districts in this binder, over 85 we are invested in and i can't give away my playbook. we are still hours away from the close of the polls. this is the idea of the work we are doing. the binder has not been this thick in a decade. we are strapped -- confident our strategy that was built on past to the majority was the right decision. investing in over three times a district to secure the majority

. >> but that is anecdotal. what percentage of total waste generated is generated by the top ten% that you defined? i think that that is stated that is somewhere. recology should know. >> i'm not sure if that data exists. it would take quite a while to go through. >> recology would know the total tonnage of waste that they have to process every year and they would know, based on what they are billing, their customers, the top ten is generating what percentage of the waste? that is a pretty basic and legitimate question, i think. then i would no, visit 90%? in which case we are pounding on the right to nail. if it is not, if it is the old 80-20 rule, where 20% are not generating 80% of the waste but it is reversed, all the little guys, when you take all that into account -- that makes enforcement really tough. is like a bunch of little problems. we know the world -- global warming is a world of lots of little cars generating a lot of co2. we need to know, where do we go after the problem? i am not saying -- i'm n

there isn't a lot of reliable poll data that they show the race within about five points and anecdotally just speaking with people there is a lot of passion right now at least from their perspective and there is a lot of enthusiasm on that side and there is on enthusiasm quite frankly there is a lot of ensues - - enthusiasm. that there is a lot of feeling we cannot be like alabama everybody is talking about everyone's mind. but to my mind how big is the enthusiasm gap if there is a run off and chris mcdaniels got 17 percent of the vote his voters are very conservative do not like the republican in this run out - - this run off if they sit this out and show back up that is good for the democrats but then it puts cindy hyde smith over that threshold that she needs. >> host: to talk about what mike has been talking about what is his message? we back to things. and the key elements of his campaign health care, he is really been saying cindy hyde smith does not support previous conditions and something democrats across the country have talked about he tries to pitch himself as a uniter that c

we are seeing anecdotal we are seeing anecdotal reports it is up this time. work on factor we do lines at polling places and it a good thing to have the convenience of voting early but that the lines are a little longer because people are wait.g to i don't think there are any additional security concerns for voting earlier at a polling place. he machinery is often very similar to those at the election day polling sites but there is a move much more in this. millions york times" already have more americans are of absentee and early voting with at least 27.5 ballots cast nationwide in four days of the campaign still to go. allowed in 17 states and washington, d.c. and they have last sed those of the midterm election. next is florida. caller: good morning. -- i have been watch be the debates and post say the other party is crooked. that seems to be the main issue, there is sophisticated in florida they accused the one party of being and the orrupt governor's race they accuse the the f.b.i. is t looking for them and i'm waiting or the last day to watch the debate

anecdotally we see that women particularly educated women have been turned off by some of the things that president trump has to say. they were turned off by the kavanaugh nomination spectacle. are they really moving toward the democratic party, or do they come home at the end of the day? i think for me another thing is independent voters and whether president trump really is the kryptonite to independent voters that we've seen in some of the polling recently. and then finally, this split between the house and the senate. it's very possible that even if democrats take control of the house, they could lose a seat or two in the senate, and what does that mean for the balance of power in washington and the ability of congress to get anything done over the next two years. >> dickerson: do you think that republicans are taking lessons from what the president is doing and maybe the lessons will all be determined by the final outcomp let's say republicans have a better night? what will politicians see from the president's strategy here at the end? i mean, you know, what learnings will they

i don't know what that means are ultimately what the political situation is but i know the t anecdote. is not just the president who was letting us down but politicians across the board who have not shown leadership qualities to put somebody before them or their career. it's hard to do because no one was to do something that will cost them their job. you don't either but sometimes the principal matters more than the short term object you are clinging to. in my state, to say what is your legacy? it only happens when they are dead and at that point you don't care a whole lot but they are saying, but i am proud that we are balanced, we have structural balance, we have surplus mone money, we're up half a million jobs the reason that is so important that is the greatest moral purpose, but there is something else that has happened that i am proud of. i think my mother and father to have that compassion for others that the lord has kindled in my heart. but most days i think i can slow down and when i am so pleased about is we did not leave anyone behind. early on we talked about getting heal

i'm not going to go into great detail about anecdotes that i will poinbut iwill point to a cf things. for example there was a meeting that we are discussing these serious issues goldman sachs was having with respect to money laundering and in that meeting you see one of these in fact this person went on to be promoted a month later. accordingly to sweep this under the table and to help to do something to stop the regulators from making goldman sachs complied with money laundering rules. we are talking about complicated concepts we are talking something simple like you are supposed to have your data on file if this person a place andd want to open an account, you're supposed to get their first name, last name, but they do, how much money they have, this is basic stuff. so you have a regulator can you give me the files. one day they have to turn them over and then there's a lot of stuff that isn't there. this is not a complicated thing that also raises other issues imagine putting your money in a bank that doesn't keep track of. but the angle of the exam was for money laundering so it i

whether it happens or not i will tell you this anecdote because i think it sort of service to kind of make the point. there was a story that was published in which he had a conflict with respect to a family member working at another bank that wasn't disclosed and i go back to my point a slap on the wrist is an enforcement issue. these things are common sense. there are thousands of banks in the u.s. between there are a lot of complaints out there who are trained to do this. there is no reason to have a revolving door and if you are going to go down that path you can. i unfortunately see problems with that as well because if you don't have a culture in the rule of law and importance of upholding the rule of law to give credibility to the banking system then you win will end up where you are right now. i think it is different than that. it's an enforcement problem and cultural problem. the status and rewarding bad behavior at the federal level not rewarding bad behavior. i think we need to begin to swing the pendulum. i don't think that more or less poodles are going to make a differenc

we can say anecdotally. you might each right now have annan he can total sense of why that is and why you yourself do or do not bike or women you know do or do not bike in san francisco. the city had never done any kind of comprehensive work and any kind of data base approach of asking people and other people who bike in san francisco why that is. so as we set out to begin this survey the research team came up with a few key research questions. i believe wendy mentioned very briefly the survey had this research project had two main components and we focused our on the ground research on the soma region of san francisco and that was building on another research project that the department had done with c40 about a year priv. in deed one of the questions that came up during that research project was about gender and demographics of people biking and the data wasn't available. we said we would do on the ground research and we did focus groups that will pull from every neighborhood in san francisco. as we starte

. >> and it's interesting too, when you think about the anecdotal experience of voting in an election like this. if it's the first time you've ever voted in a midterm election, either because you never voted at all, or because you only think of voting in a presidential year, turning out to vote for the first time this year, a, means you're motivated. b, means youing if out how to do it. that's why the voter suppression story ends up being super important. if one party is counting on turning out people who are not used to voting in elections like this, who never voted in an election like this before, the more barriers, the more complicated you make it, the longer and more arduous you make the process, the more you can winnow down that number. >> there's a culture to voting. once you get into it, you're into it. you go to the community center, the local church. young people don't go to those places. they go to starbucks on campus on the street, but it's an unusual step to go back to the old neighborhood. in this case it's great because you can vote on campus, that's cool. i thought that

and the anecdote to all the anger and all the division and partisanship, we should be angry about it, but we need to realize when we use those gifts in whatever way, that woman whose son was a heroine addict whose now being helped by people, they're changing that guy's world and we never know when small acts of doing well can have an exponential effect on the way the world spins. i believe this. we have to believe in ourselves because the greatest strength in our country is the ability of all of us to work where we live, to band together and send a message to those who are in charge to get their act together, and to make this a stronger state, community and nation. if we do it, we're going to be fine. and it will unite all of us in a way that we're all hungering for today. so with those brilliant opening remarks i'm going to take some questions. [applause] who wants to go first? >> okay, i never take the first hand up so i'm going to go to this lovely young woman. i. >> i live in a house where cnn is watched on one tv and fox on the other. i'm nbc, i'm in the middle. fake news is all

there is the whisky and the anecdote about cooking beans on toast. she opened the ten. we get so little detail about theresa may as a person, even here they are clutching at straws by telling us about drinks and beans on toast, we are not getting more about her personality. they are trying to show that she is a normal woman. if you read this you would sympathise with her greatly for how much she has faced this week. how would you even get up in the morning to face this? but this is too late, trying to present her in this kindly. we have had a year of her having those horrible advisers around her, she rana tight horrible advisers around her, she ran a tight ship, she alienate as people in her cabinets, she is now trying to make out that she is a kind and benevolent leader and she was not actually always liked that. she has not wanted that intrusion, she does not talk to journalists, everybody knows that. what i would see in response, do not underestimate the power of the daily mail, that is full blast in favour of theresa may. last night they were talking about, the sabo

but anecdotally, we're already seeing that's not necessarily the case. what you didn't have in 2016 was a fired up democratic electorate. just look at georgia. look at the increase in voter registration. we saw over the 2014 midterm elections. 155% increase. and so this is not the same election. and it will be a referendum on tuesday. >> heidi przybilla, thank you so much. >>> when we come back, a man thriving on what one writer calls political no man's land. john kasich joins the conversation. >>> also, betting on beto. we'll go to one of the hottest senate races in the country. >>> and staff shake-up. brand-new reporting on the president's plan for a, quote, massive shake-up. and what that may mean for the russia investigation. all those stories still coming up. ♪ let's do the thing that you do. let's clear a path. let's put down roots. let's build something. let's do the thing that you do. let's do the thing that changes the shape of everything... that pushes us forward and keeps us going. let's do the work. carla is living with metastatic breast ca

seems to be in this field you have to sort of have a daredevil side to you and so you have plenty of anecdotes in the book about this sort of bending the rules in the name of saving lives and racing against the clock. >> oh, yes. >> one of my favorite was of denton cooley. you want to tell it? >> yeah, there was no fda for long time when cooley was operating and trying to figure out which way i want to tell this story. >> i had heard a lot of strange stories about all of these doctors doing very interesting things that we would not find normal today. and i kept hearing this story, and i had a wonderful source who helped me who is an editorial-- she's a medical writer by training and she worked with all of these doctors and i called her and i said, mary anne, i know i've asked you a lot of stupid questions, but i have to ask you, this is really stupid, but if it's true, i want to write about it, i keep hearing this story that denton cooley put a cow's heart in a patient and she didn't miss a beat and she said, no, it was a sheep's heart. and that is in fact, he was in the operating room. it was

>> it took me a year to write it, but it was 20 years of stories and anecdotes and examples. >> and they just -- >> all my books are just -- they accumulate these things and put it down on paper. this is like a lifetime of accumulate things. >> here is professor gary smith's newest book what the luck, the surprising role of chance in our lives. this is book tv on c-span 2. >> here's a look at some of the authors recently featured on our weekly author interview program that includes best-selling nonfiction books and guest interviewers. new york magazine's looked at how women's anger has been used to create transformative political movements throughout history. trump 2020 campaign media advisor and fox news guest analyst offered her thoughts on the current political climate. and journalist reported on the opioid crisis in america. now, in the coming weeks on after words, republican senator of nebraska will argue that the country lacks unity and will offer his thoughts on how to repair it. pulitzer prize winning reporter will discuss his life as an undocumented immigrant. and this weekend v

seemed like a very consecutive buying interest at this very low level so well that i thought it was just anecdotal that i thought that the crip those were fairly stable in these wild markets but the volatility index you say is at a low so thank you for confirming what i thought was sort of happening there i hadn't seen the volatility number. let's talk a little bit about ripple you know when we talk about precious metals we talk about gold and people don't want to spend twelve hundred bucks on gold we say well the poor person's you know precious metals silver but in the crypto space it's really sort of a ripple and a theory and to a lesser extent because people can't afford the sixty three hundred dollars for a single point these days tell us a little bit about ripple so while big question is kind of more so like gold it has a monetary value established to it ripples more sort of a utility token and right now ripple has a very strong fundamentals here as we just heard the ripple swell conference out in san francisco where they launched the x rapid and now ripple has confirmed that they have at lea

nationalism doesn't cause tribalism, it is the anecdote to tribalism. rally around the nation and not your tribe. author and columnist mark steyn believes this is obvious having spent his life traveling around the world, and he joins us now to reiterate it. and this is so orwellian because leaving tribe out of it, nationalism is the anecdote to tribalism. we are all in different tribes. ignore our tribes, come together around the country, right? >> mike: and that's actually how functioning states get by. your principal identity is that you are an american in the eye america or you are a swede in sweden or you are a to the lewin into the loop. people look for other identities and it doesn't matter that racial identities or religious identical's he is a like islam, or identity is , you've tribe as the population and a person's sub identity becomes more important to them than the national identity. and that is an extremely dangerous experiment. because actually, nationalism is the first duty of a government and self-governing societies. >> tucker: a flesh

anecdotally, i'm not relying on voting who did vote for mr. o'rourke. you can pull out and see there may be evidence that some evangelicals are moving toward mr. o'rourke on issues like immigration. it's very volatile, very unstable. we don't know how it's going to come down. >> there are many voters there that may be from the right, may fill in the gop column but are really anty tranti-trump at the date. >> people could be changing their mind, people could be going straight ticket. it really depends on representative o'rourke needs to have some republicans vote for him. he really needs that. if they're not, he is in trouble, unless the new voters are such a big number. and we won't know that until after election day. >> abby, which counties do we watch? >> oh, wow. i would love to point out my home county of tarrant where i grew up. that is considered the swing county. it's the largest republican county in the state of texas. if that county stays republican, it's a good night for ted cruz. if it falls to the democrats for the first time in modern memor

or someone else who they can be including better at school or whatever it is, the things that we see anecdotally and from stories that parents and kids send in and all the things that we hear is that the things they learned during their time at camp and uppi ings tt they do in their lives outside of camp. that is a beautiful thing that they can take that and bring that into their world the other nine months of the year. >> for any of us who work in a faith community, we are role models and we give and we teach. we also receive and grow. i'm wondering, before we take our break, can you just reflect a little bit about how, actually these values have influenced you even as you do this work as citizens of the world? >> i think curiosity and wonder are for me, the things that i get to experience every summer with the kids and staff. i can see somebody really connect to prayer for the first time or understandt being able to sustain that through their eyes, that sustains me. it is something beautiful that we do in our work. >> i am like a poster child for summer camp. i went to camp towanda as a kid. i

because we are hearing sort of anecdotal comments from business people that they are concerned about the ongoing trade war. >> well, first of all, let's not do anything, particularly investing by anecdote. you always want to look at the data. there will be some inventory adjustments and things like that, but the tax cuts, particularly on the corporate side, is going to be the gift that keeps on giving for the next several years, because what we see here is a reinvestment in america's future. also, one of the strong positive effects of the tariffs, things like steel and aluminum, is we are seeing tremendous investment pouring into those industries. so i'm not concerned at all about people investing here in america. by the way, there's all sorts of companies outside our borders who now understand that they better be investing inside our borders if they want to do business with america. liz: a lot of them are definitely getting the message because it is out there making headlines. the president just said we're going to make a quote, very good deal with the chinese. but there have been c

that is some anecdotal feedback we received. additionally, women in focus groups recommended using social networks such as social events at which women could try biking in a relaxed environment or building but he systems that pair experience women cyclists with novices to help women who are not currently biking and find ways to try it in a way that feel safe and comfortable to them. they also recommended women led bike training and maintenance repair classes. a few additional highlights i want to squeeze in here. research found that safety, heavy traffic, speeding and hostile drivers are concerns for men and women, but especially women. as well as bike theft. and perception that police failed to treat theft seriously enough is another major problem and deterrent. to take all of this at a level, this research project found that while some writers use bicycling as a principal mode of travel, the same writers also use the soma bike lanes to link to transit and many additionally are using transit or private auto for some of their tr

. >> another interesting anecdote oprah shared is that she made the phone call to stacey abrams herself to help her and offer to come to georgia. she said, hi, stacey, it's oprah. she said, hold on, she was driving and she had to pull over to take the phone call. the audience behind me is just about to be let in for round two. having an intimate conversation on stage and talking about expending medicare, public education and abrams' plans for the state, if she is elected. ali? >> obviously, people at these rallies decided to vote for stacey abrams and you talked to people who said they voted already in early voting. april being there creates a buzz unlike anybody else being there. how does that translate? does that translate through local media coverage and is that how it is going to get the message out to georgians? >> it certainly is the talk of the town and definitely a lot of media folks here to cover it. but her point really, the people in that room have probably already decided they're voting for abrams. oprah's job is to actually get them to go to the polls. we found some people

can you take these anecdotes to the bank ever? in your experience? are these just kind of one-off's that don't really set a trend. >> bret: ever since 2010, those are usually individual stories about this race. i think broadly, we can look at numbers on the early vote and actually have the numbers, but as far as the anecdotal whose showing up, you know you get stories all over the place. i think you are going to see in a place like missouri that doesn't have early voting, a lot of turnout, long lines, and i bet you're going to have some people voting late into the night and polls staying open. >> martha: what we are definitely all picking up on is just a general enthusiasm and an interest in this election. the likes of which the only time we thought was in the presidential election back in 2016. so there's clearly enthusiasm. we see it and feel it in our conversations with everyone out there that there is just an incredible amount of interest in politics in general, in the president, certainly, and in the selection, absolutely. >> dana: all all right

. >> a litany of anecdotes and testimony for hose who knew him. >> he was one of the greatest human beings i've ever seen in my life. he was so clean. >> because to know willie was to admire him. >> as i watched him, i was holding my cane and i would say, i want to be like him. >> my hope and my prayer is that when i get to heaven, there will be a baseball field like heaven and the greatest gift the greatest gift that god could give me is having the opportunity to pitch to willie mccovey, if there was one consistent thread in this testimony was that willie mccovey was an unbelievable ballplayer and the spirit will remain in the ballpark, and willie mccovey forever a giant. >>> the time is 4:57, we're still watching that huge fire burning in butte county, thousands of people forced to evacuate and the camp fire keeps growing and we have the latest on firefight. we're learning more about the victims and suspect of the mass shooting in southern california. one of the people killed was from the north bay. washed up? never. sometimes. l'oreal age perfect rosy tone moisturizer.. boosts skin's ro

like the mobilization that i've just seen anecdotally out there and as a reporter in the ten years since obama was elected. >>that is correct. just the fact that in tennessee alone, there was a 700% increase in early voting. >> crazy. >> young voters between the ages of 18 and 35. 700% increase. 400 some percent in texas. 400 some percent increase in georgia. >> in georgia. >> yes. this all could portend well, but, but the democrats are professionals at losing elections that they win or should have won. and we are up against republican parties in many of these states that have worked overtime to suppress the vote that it's something that we have to take into account here. that's why you can't -- you can vote tomorrow, but you've got to bring five other people with you, or you've got to call ten people or call 20 people. make a party out of it. make a nice lunchtime hour out of it. have a viewing party tomorrow night and you only get in if you got an i voted sticker. i'm just encouraging people to make this a good thing and tell people you don't want to miss out on this historic day. it c

i have to be frank with you at this point,an anecdotally over e last week a lot of republican voters in the state that we talked to that said they found cindy hyde-smith's comments inappropriate and ultimately when it comes down to it, they have every intention to vote for her because she is the conservative in this race. ali? >> i'll go one further. mississippi does not have a strong record of white people voting for black people. >> no. >> mike espy, i heard the number from you. mike espy would have to get a remarkable percentage of the white vote in order to defeat cindy hyde-smith. >> quite dehumanizing, i think to an extent, but in mississippi a very real conversation, unfortunately, ali. one i try to avoid and putting into those terms. but the reality is, that is the case. they say if they get 95% of the black vote here which makes up one-third of the electorate, they need to pull off a quarter of white voters here in the state, which is quite a high number. mike espy will tell you back when he was a member of congress by the end of his last term, he said he had 40% of white vo

we did a lot of writing and anecdotes and stories and issue was really the weaver that sort of war over all of our stories, all of our recollections that pushed us and prodded us about things that we may forget, but it was also helpful because she is not in the political world, so she was able to bring us back when we were getting overly complicated or started talking about the party rules and we will just spend an hour on the party rules, but she helped bring us back to what the average voter or reader might find interesting or engagement or the questions they may have your four alas, we have been in it so long certainly for me we've been ended a long time so it's an interesting dynamic between getting lost in the party move and recalling where my people of brooklyn and what the issues are that concerns our people in brooklyn and all the other parts of brooklyn and what is important for them and how you weave those things together and i think for all of us is part of our value to the process because we are so connected to our community. we do understand the issues that are facing a. we

just a way that you took a bunch of different anecdotes and scenes and one of them together into a comprehensive story. one of the ones that really stretch me was your in what you term geek squad. my belief in 2010 when some people on reddit watching the current rise of the tea party and the rallies that they were having done in washington d.c. yet, that. we should have our own steak tea party rally. we should go down and have ridiculous signs and basically make fun of these people. the got him involved and -- [laughter] they got a bunch of fans involved in the 200,000 people, came down to this thing that was from a joke on reddit. was about me is that it was a prime example of this thing that you hit over and over throughout the book. this tension between our reddit meeting the outside world. the outside world meeting reddit. neither, usually being quite sure to make of the other. i would like to start by asking, what is one thing you'd say that is understood about the other. the outside world and read it? similarly, what is one of the most meaningful ways in which each has changed the other? >

we want to hear from crystal fleming tragic thank you so much for sharing that personal family anecdote because it's very much illustrates these dynamics. they're complicated. on the one hand, whites were allowed to have access to resources, in this case there were loans, home loans and all these opportunities connected to the g.i. bill that systematically excluded black soldiers. at the same time you mention your family members struggled to pay the mortgage. there is a reality in which it's difficult to some white americans understand that despite the own economic struggle this really kind of sometimes invisible privilege that allowed for them to have opportunities in the first place. i think you're anecdote is very important that we have to also think about how can systematically americans learn is history so that we don't have to rely on anecdotes from one person to the next which are important but that our educational system can actually be transformed in ways that teach this ongoing history. >> host: at what point in the writing of this book did you come up with the title? >> guest
