Let's partner for all of it. Learn more@edwardjones.com morning I'm doing poorly and this is summertime and the living is supposed to be easy. So what so many of us seem to be in a nasty mood from our national politics to the lines at fast food joints and points in between incivility and downright rudeness appear to be on the rise of phenomena, and for Martha Teicher to consider in our cover story always at a problem. I get the hell out of here. Yes, our public discourse does seem to become a school president. Trump encourages instability the appropriate response to that is not incivility on the other side. I don't know that you can demand civility from people that you're rolling in an entirely uncivil way.

I had the Sunday morning a civil discussion about incivility. Our summer song this morning is from Billy Joel celebrating his 100 performance on one of the nation's most celebrated stages with Anthony Mason.

We have a front row seat five years ago Madison Square Garden offered Billy Joel on monthly residency in the legendary arena flabbergast this past week.

The piano man played his 100 sold-out gig at the Springs showed up. His respect all on Sunday morning.

We continue our 50th anniversary look at that most pivotal of years 1968 with a story from David Pogue about the birth of something very small that plays a very big role in our lives.

In 1968 Gordon Wardrop by Bob Noyce's house and on July 18, 1968 until incorporated. Their invention was the silicon microprocessor the computer chip that created our modern technological world. So you think that Noyce and Moore's place in the pantheon is is deserved. Many, many times over coming up on Sunday morning. I'll take two inside himself now on Broadway. The music of a one-of-a-kind band with remarkable staying power will be talking with Tracy Smith. Gogo's are arguably the most successful all-female band in history thanks to tell your will to bring in those early days.

I remember running down the stairway Gogo ahead on Sunday morning just ahead. Mood has modern life become how much is the tone of our politics to blame our cover story as reported by Martha Tyson doesn't seem as if politics has us all into our ideological corner.

Does it seem as if insults and name-calling. I called little Marco little Marco Cricket, Hillary Clinton have taken the place of civil civility has gone viral is for whether it's coming from the president of the United States. We have a representative in Congress who they say was your long ago. The caller Pocahontas or somebody in a restaurant, you may be disturbed by it all, but should you be alarmed, even that it's a touchy subject country is in crisis, New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg recently wrote that it's less a result of a breakdown incivility than a breakdown of democracy, demand full of oppression when it only goes in one direction. When you demand civility from the role, but you don't demand civility from the rulers and unapologetic liberal. Goldberg thinks it's just fine presidential spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders was not welcome at the red hen restaurant is asked to leave because I work for Pres. trial. We are allowed to disagree, but we should be able to do so freely and without fear of harm and Goldberg thinks it's just fine California Democrat Congresswoman Maxine Waters has called for confrontation shows me this kind surreal loop of disinformation that weren't. Trump then says Maxine Waters has basically told people to attack members of my administration.

She should be careful what he wishes for. If there is any threat of violence there.

It's clearly coming from Donald Trump and it wouldn't be the only time that Donald Trump is threatened has had it out outright threatened protesters. I love the old days you guys like that when there were a place like this could be carried out on a stretcher folks so were missing the point by talking about manners and civility in crisis that members of this administration can't go to a restaurant without being heckled.

It's a crisis that those hecklers don't have any other way to reach them. Civility is a kind of basis for dialogue is hard to have dialogue with its ability. If people pushing and shoving and screaming and harassing.

If Maxine Waters gets her way, constitutional lawyer Alan Dershowitz, a lifelong Democrat caused a bit of a kerfuffle after complaining about being shunned by his Martha's Vineyard neighbors for defending Pres. Donald Trump's civil liberties and argument he makes in his new book. I don't care about being shunned. I don't care about not being invited the parties. What I care about is the big issue of trying to silence Americans who have a different point of view. Pres. Trump encourages instability by his name-calling by his mocking of people the appropriate response to that is not incivility on the other side. What is Michelle Obama put it very well when she said we go hi about the current clinical climate justifies incivility. I'm nearly 80 years old. I've lived through many times and every era people say in these times. This is special in these times there detaining Japanese Americans in detention centers. In these times their segregation if we allow back to operate the these times approach everything would be in these times, and we would live in a society of incivility. There is nothing special about these times.

So what is it that were actually see while I think of it as a revolution in manners, but maybe a better way to describe it is gerrymandering of the boundaries of polite society were Jesus Bybee is a professor at the Syracuse University College of Law and author of how civility works any.

American history rather than intense political conflict. You can find severe breaches of etiquette.

If you think it's bad today consider the incident in 1856 when proslavery South Carolina Congressman Preston Brooks went into the Senate and beat Massachusetts Sen. Charles Sumner, an ardent abolitionist with his cane nearly killing him. Now consider the civil rights more than a century, the civil rights movement in a fundamental led to the revision of our understanding what constitutes appropriate behavior and the baseline of respect.

The peaceful protests often met with violent back amended notions of civility and incivility as means to an end as good or bad Martin Luther King today is praised for a philosophy of nonviolence and yet at the time what was considered civil disobedience. Civil protest was not considered civil at all know it was experienced by a number of people the time as a gross incivility characterize myself as a mainline Republican representative Steve Stivers and a strong staunch Democrat and representative Joyce Beatty are members of Congress from the Columbus Ohio area. 14 months ago. Now I had a gentleman call and threaten to kill not just me, my wife and my time seven-year-old daughter. That really made me think about G the climate out there is driving folks across our country, to the extremes. Every day we turn on TV and what social media it has just been so prolific that it's in your face with twitter and Instagram and all the things that being said, our children are listening to this Beatty and Stivers are longtime friends but on many issues. Polar is politically in January, they formed the civility and respect caucus powering congressional Democrats and Republicans. 30 so far to promote civility across the aisle and among high school student in each other's districts. The students are asked to take a civility play so they ever say okay we can take a civility pledge. What about you guys and Congress don't appreciate what was originally said been changed to give them what you appreciate or distraught or is it that's nice that's sweet.

But look around while the trip of a thousand miles begins with the first visit all sound a little Pollyanna-ish there take. So what this civility, respect, caucus will never cure incivility. What we hope to do is sensitize people to it as long as I can add fresh breath to this Congress. I will never concede that nice people finished last. So does that mean there's hope. The very fact that we have people seeking to change civility and expression of civility is value true crisis. Civility is none of us cared if we all stopped caring about what counts is appropriate behavior in civility is not crisis that now page from our Sunday morning almanac July 22, 1933, 85 years ago today. The day aviator Wiley Post made history. I was very much but that was the day he arrived in New York in his plane. The whinny may after completing the world's first solo round the world flight circling the globe in seven days, 18 hours and 49 minutes, making just 11 stops along the way. You're not on title jarring miles of tickertape Texas native Boston. I know oilfield Wiley posts that many other aviation records as well say he was the first altitude first to get a boost from what was the fact that a relatively unknown band of air currents over the jet stream to survive at that altitude, he will. The very first pressurized aviation suit but post derring-do caught up with him in 1935 when he crashed in experimental plane while on a journey through Alaska killing both himself and his world famous passenger. The comic will Rogers Wiley post was just 36 is historic playing the whinny may is now in the collection of the National air and space Museum in Washington band about everywhere now it's finally on Broadway with Tracy Smith.

We catch their act better logos. The barrier breaking 1980s chipmakers have stood on a lot of stages after this one.

Barbara was on the state, Barbra Streisand, liver phenomenon has come to appear in the new comedy had over Broadway producer thought to be a great idea to artfully insert go-go song into an Elizabethan era. How sometimes we like it may feel that way because they've done this walk from the dressing room to this day thousands of time there really really good at bingo off together logos have been called one of the most all email rock 'n' roll night Carlisle decided naïvely to form a group way, where anything is wrong and we had no idea how to do anything like early workers Robert Shaw Mr. surgery Kathy Valentine and guitarist Charlie Trained in classical will scare them excite.

They were the cool girls that were punky and I was, more like you know reserved and straight can have. It's hard to imagine now, but in their early days the go-go's, each made about $40 a week how many proverbial doors were slammed in your faces every every door all the record executives were telling you they wouldn't sign us because they were women across floor across the girls did make it happen. Got the England and then in United States. Like almost all of their music was written, arranged and performed all my scale and work together ball of energy that can be a force for good or a force for truth is the fun and for serious spirit in our lips are sealed very feet. But if you listen to the lyrics go-go trademark that we always make an effort not connect something like happy here hundred percent expense to Keep things more interesting and their 1980, happy-go-lucky 14 hours.

We were so bored.

Thinking I shall be at this magazine shoot a few weeks ago. The band's history hasn't been so happy-go-lucky, medical problems, drug and alcohol abuse, and several knock down drag out breakups had a pretty keep forgetting healing in China, growling, and that's how I feel that we ally this point. Just think, a group of sisters who can be extremely close, but at the same time light years apart. There's been times where the dressing room throwing stuff at each other, is literally thrown stuff. He shot a couple of times as I think somebody got hit while yeah there's a lot of conflicting energy but somehow out of all of that something stays very intact and still works very well is always low IN the hurricane that stays really nice knowing and special. They do get along well enough to still play as a prize of the audience on stage with the head over heels. A lot of your fans think that there is a grave injustice that you guys are not in the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame, you can't take away the fact that we were very first successful all-female band who wrote on their own songs and played there.

Same owners are not your go-go just doesn't seem right stuff.

So in 10 years the right opportunity comes along the go-go's could be on stage again together say there's never been an all grand master ticket to the before there were podcasts there was television.

Remember, see what's new under the sun every Sunday morning for some of us, the very mention of the year 1968 conjures up a lot of not so great memories. Leave it to our tech savvy David Pogue to find one very small exception in many ways 1968, is famous for its tragedies, assassinations, conflicts and war but 1968 also gave birth to something amazing.

The era of fast, cheap, ubiquitous electronics because 50 years ago this past week. Two middle-aged engineers quit their jobs to start a new company called Intel in 1968 Gordon Wardrop by Bob nice house. Bob is mowing the lawn. They were discussing the state of their current jobs, as well as the possibility of an new industry where Elizabeth Jones is Intel's archivist she runs the Intel Museum in Santa Clara, California and Bob said you and he then and on July 18, 1968, Intel, Inc. his previous company Fairchild semiconductor noise had coinvented the integrated circuit away to etch all the circuits and that errors room size computers onto a tiny slice of silicon we have Intel's first product, a memory chip, 3101 okay and before that how to make memory and if this larger device upon topical core memory smaller also meant faster and easier to make this plant near Portland Oregon. One of Intel's oldest is what a chip factory looks like today new TV crew has ever been allowed inside before hacking and no I'm sorry, I should Evans, Intel's chief strategy officer showed me how to put on the so-called bunny suit that's her on the left. I did take a thorough shower this morning white. Why was all this necessary maximum verity as the material is being assembled each shiny round sheet of silicon. It's about 500 identical chips which will be cut apart and installed into the microprocessors electronic brains. The control just about everything in our lives with and on switch. Each chip is etched with impossibly small channels of circuitry only 10 millionths of an inch wide tiny little Swiss watchmaker in a magnifying glass robot how you say, making the basic fundamentals haven't changed at all about Martha Mason and also more layer.

I that's exactly right. Getting more circuitry into less space is the whole point of more's law that's Gordon Moore's prediction way back in 1965 that we be able to double the amount of circuitry meaning power and memory that can be crammed onto a chip about every year and 1/2. He's basically been right for all 50 years you know that Moore's law is actually not a law of physics is the result of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people making ongoing improvements in reducing the with of these lines are printed on the circuit. John Doerr started working at Intel in 1974 today as chairman of Kleiner Perkins is one of the world's most successful venture capitalists. Someone once said of this applied to automobiles today.

Cars cost a few pennies that took thousands of miles per gallon. We wouldn't even remember where we parked, leave America in the beginning Intel made computer memory chips for storing information but things really took off in 1971 when Bob Noyce invented microprocessors that is chips that could process information and then for modern time IBM cable, IBM chose to place personal computer on Intel's architecture and had IBM chose some other companies. Chip until probably wouldn't be here to the makeup of the company started with with the founders and they said the simple words back 50 years ago. Don't be encumbered by the past go and do something wonderful.

Bob Swan is Intel's interim CEO and there's another saying that associated with this coverage is only the paranoid survive or always look at always worried, always curious who's doing something else. And for not worried about them. They will catch up to us. It has all been smooth sailing. The company famously missed the boat on making the processors for smart phones like the iPhone then is PC sales began to slip. Intel had to lay off thousands of workers over the years, but today Intel says it's determined to be ready for whatever comes next for companies investing in self driving cars, artificial intelligence, and other future drunks that anneal Nandu's division's team specializes in making elaborate automated flying light show like this one at the Winter Olympics in South Korea is hundred or thousand of this actual drum.

This is the exact on the flue of the Olympics. Don't there's no cameras or anything else.

It only has a light week ago in honor Intel's big birthday's team set a Guinness world record over 2000 flying simultaneously.

These images every single one of them contained excellent ones designed by Bob Noyce and Gordon baseball players all have their loyal fans. Not so much the umpires with the exception of a young man or Steve Hartman has seen an action in the world of minor league baseball. Most young fans want nothing more than a meter real. This 10-year-old Vincent steel Stanzel Vincent utilizes all partners in our early years. Also every family can last five times such available become stands in the front row here at the Carolina mud Stadium around copying the calls and mimic their moves get so into character. It's hard not clear law. On this day the manager came over to report one change. Initially we thought maybe it was like a little bit of a phased type of thing is are his parents place. It's not just going to. It's virtually everyday at home. He stands in front of the TV. It does the same routine he sleeps next the baseballs autographed by umpires even visited umpire school where you learn the proper way to call a strike, which apparently isn't to say strike.

What is the point.

What is out okay always ball strikers. I think you wanted to throw me out of this deal is a great which may be part of the reason he's attracted to the profession, its leadership role following fairness all those qualities Econo is obviously Vincent would like to grow up. But even if he does, hopefully you will retain the values cherished by referees of all stripes and hopefully will keep his room just as quick as his imaginary coming soon mode obituaries a podcast on matters of death and life from Mo Rocca getting to the stage is half the fun as he demonstrates for our Anthony Mason used to be a tennis court on the back lawn of his estate on oyster Bay, Long Island, Billy Joel saw a chance to solve a transportation problem is and play tennis and there was an H in the middle of his chorus helipad. That's how we arrived in Manhattan this past Wednesday with his wife Alexis is landmark 100 concert at Madison Square Garden. He sold out every show more than 2 million tickets I say to you. It's crazy life never. The first night I played 1978. This was like the pinnacle of my career headlining at Madison Square Garden's 40 years ago in December 1978 played his first broken out the year before, with his fifth album, the stranger for a kid from Long Island what it means to be here in 1970. Will this is the Ark of the covenant is the high holy of holies, Mr. Joel's concert New York Times review read reaffirmed his stature as a craftsman like top composer, but he falls short of the committed passion of great rock off of his critics, a lot of beating up a self-induced because I went to war with these guys.

I didn't agree with something the road. I would call him out on stage doesn't help things wanted to go to war with Gordon Jinks proven him right song big hits in the beginning of the comes he can't do so without the audience is singing along all of the work, yes. So what I'm doing is actually thinking about what I'm doing I'm missing something during the garden month in January 2014 when you started it last this long. Nothing they presented to me like okay you residency what they really franchise like a sports team flabbergast sold out 54 Street show joined almost every month by special guest staying Paul Simon and Miley Cyrus, Tony Bennett and show just years so there was the night I would start David Charlottesville incident.

You don't usually get political. No, I don't think it's right for me to get up on a soapbox because that's not what people are there but you had to do something them I had to do something that might, the president said, is there some good people on the did the Nazis are good people really enraged actually mailman. His family got wiped out. They were slaughtered in Auschwitz.

Him and his parents were able to get out but then he was in the U.S. Army during the war, fought with Patton and was shot out by Nazis but my family suffered and think I actually have a right to do that 69 J playing songs he wrote seemingly a lifetime ago. See all the sounds different to you now age better than others, like my kids to be doctors and lawyers in any achieved some double bonds is first huge hit Grammy-winning just the way you are is not one of the singers favorite song I wrote for my first was a gift. When I showed it to her to mean I get the publishing so that the shine off.

Joan was also annoyed when the sheet was first first publishing was the wrong quartz should move this thing.

The original corridor like this is a suspension in these guys played like this drives me in knots. So I gotta go over and correct the guy top 1993. Joel suddenly stopped.

The main reason you stop writing so I couldn't be as good as I want it was driving me crazy.

It was reckoned my personal life to just not being able to be satisfied and drinking became a problem because to try to drown you know my frustration with it. If you look at what you've written some great songs I can look at 25% of what I wrote brought out not miss it at all. Most artists would say something probably but that's what drives good art man, were you bill while on the personal life. I've been married and divorced a couple of times and this will even be content with yourself.

There's a quote from Neil diamond. He said I've forgiven myself for not being Beethoven and I read that quote I said, that's my problem.

I have not forgiven myself for not being Beethoven and I still to this day. Beethoven never sold out the garden 100 times like your living room or office and I see everybody so and when Joel's name hoisted on a banner into the garden rafters Wednesday with those three imposing digits. Even the piano man was beyond my wildest what you all for coming hundred. I'm still running around so looks like there's no end to this thing that concerned, I may be doing for the rest of my natural life.

I'm Jane Pauley. Thank you for listening and please join us again next Sunday morning with this week. Stephen Long live Mitch McConnell in one of Washington's biggest midterm monument list for me to Senate races you think Republicans have the best chance of taking a democratic seed with Nevada not Georgia.
