>> rose: welcome to the program. to want, a conversation about syria with henry kissinger, former secretary of state. >> too much in this country on the issue of how you remove assad. that, i think, is going to happen. but the really important... the key question is what happens in syria after assad is removed. is it possible to form a government that governs the whole country? is it possible to create such a government without it trying to unify itself by a combination of islamism and extreme nationalism? >> rose: we continue with a look at a new movie "hope springs". we'll have the director david frankel, three of the film's stars: meryl streep, tommy lee jones and steve carell. >> you want to feel alive. you want to feel the day. you know, the feeling of being in love and when it first happens to you and how connected you are to every moment, to every sense, to every piece of music. you just... you're more hyperaware and over time people settle for not. >> rose: henry kissinger, meryl streep, tommy lee jones, davi

>> rose: of me.ut because there are things in there that i don't deserve to say should be. that i moved to montana and wrote country songs. although, that's not that far manizer bothers me. womanizer. that's always bothered me. and i think if you really look into all of the times where i sort of went-- it all sort of went dim for me and my mouth kept going and my brain wasn't there, i think it's-- i didn't-- see, i've been me my whole life. i've watched me. you make these decisions in life. you do the right thing. you give yourself a pat on the back. you get the sense throughout your life, if you do the right thing, you are going to be known as a person who does the right thing. but there's nothing like the hollywood machine getting your information wrong. and i give a lot of information. right? i'd be much better off if i had short answers. it's less t.n.t. to wire up. when they inevitably get it wrong, because i'm putting out so much information, this idea of womanizer comes in. and sosay i'm brisl

. >> rose: but you left him in a very tough place to be because he's following you. >> yes. >> rose: some would say you don't want to follow the guy who follows alex ferguson you want to follow the guy that follows alex ferguson. let's begin, sitting here at this point before an american television audience. manchester united. tell me about manchester united. >> well, the thing is i think this goes back to the 1950 disaster, sympathy which it was justified because it was a young team going. it could have been a great team. and all the players were 21 years of age. and most of them had a wife. but that was only the start of the story. i think the real story was when the european cup within ten years. i think that created what was that got bigger and bigger and bigger. my first trip out to taiwan in 1988, thousands outside in the corridors knocking on doors. and that love of the club has only grown. >> rose: what accent do i detect in your voice. >> west region. you have some scott in you also. >> rose: i do indeed. i don't say it as well as you do though. >> no, no. >> rose: that woul

>> rose: welcome to the program. we begin this evening walk talking about the future of television with josh sapan. he is the c.e.o. of amc networks. >> the system is evolving, and many people who have netflix or hulu or amazon also have cable television, and it is now support manager more options and people have shown an appetite for it. so i actually think it is a moment of great diversification and abundance and creative brilliance. >> rose: we talk about the future of oil with john watson, chairman and c.e.o. of chevron. >> fossil fuels, if you think about the last 150 years, all the advancements in the living standard, everything we enjoy -- light, heat, transportation by land, sea and air -- everything we value is coincident with fossil fuels. new york would be dark without fossil fuels. so fossil fuels are important now and will be important for many, many years to come. >> rose: many, many years means, in your own judgment? >> for the foreseeable future. now, that doesn't mean we can't develop other forms of

test test test for charlie rose. >> rose: welcome to the program. we begin stan druckenmiller, a billionaire investor who has been touring the country an universities trying to make an argument to create a movement among young people that would change entitlements and also taxes. >> i want to shine a light on this issue and i am desperately hoping the young people will start a movement. do i want to start the movement? i don't think i'm capable. do i think i canar tick tlat facts and have i seen them respond that somebody out there can start a movement? yes. in my opinion they were instrumental in getting gay marriage passed. they're moving the needle on the environment. this thing is very similar. >> rose: on both of of those issues you were on their side. on gay rights and the environment. >> still am. >> rose: we conclude with guillermo del toro, the mexican filmmaker and author. >> i think that the way to understand the universe is by sort of codifying hit in the dichotomy of angels and demons. you can call them monsters, superheroes, whatever i

i mean-- . >> rose: they have missed it. >> i would suggest, yeah, yeah. >> rose: what did you think her redeeming qualities are. >> she has aspirations. she has grown-up in a household where-- . >> rose: she has dreams. >> she has grown-up in a household where there is no aspirations. no one has given her a model in how to succeed or live a different life. and yet crystal has this lat ent desire to succeed, to achieve. she wants to hold her family together. she's parenting her younger brother, who is being quite egregiously neglected i will their biological mother. so i think there is a lot in crystal to love. at the same time she's pro miss coupous, foul mouthed, pretty ignorant, intermittently violent so i'm not glorifying crystal. this isn't olver twist, someone who has worked on hardship and come out the other side. >> rose: and how much of her is you? >> well, i think it's kind of scary when applied to me because i created something, 200 and something characters in the potter book but they say that every character is every writer. >> rose: but is it beyond that for crystal. >>

rose: that's right. he's basically said we've made our friends before they got to the white house. >> real friends. like human being friends as opposed to transactional friends. >> rose: but i think it's possible to make new friends, myself, they don't have to be -- >> men are not particularly great at this after a certain age and i think a president knows he's in a highly -- the most highly political transactional atmosphere possible so he's wary of people's motives. i think justifiably. >> rose: some of the quotes come out of this -- i mean, i just found i knew him much more because i read this piece. one of the things i've learned to appreciate more as president is you are essentially a relay swimmer in a river full of rapids and that river is history. >> yeah. >> rose: i like that language, too. >> and you get a brief shot at it. and he said something very interesting, charlie. we were talking about -- at one point i was interviewing ben rhodes who's an important part of the national security team. a

>> rose: welcome to the broadcast. tonight, a look at asia today and tomorrow with lee hsein loong, the prime minister of singapore. >> i think china's relationship with the u.s. is crucial. it's a most important bilateral relation in the world now. and both sides have a big stake in making sure it turns it right and not turns out sour because your trade, your interdependence your mutual security interests, of course they are issues where you rub against one another, human rights or google or whatever. but both sides have a greater stake in keeping it right than letting it go wrong. and in asia, we particularly don't want to have to choose sides between china and the u.s. we want to be friends with both. we are a lot of opportunities in china, china is making a big effort to win friends all over the region and doing well at this. but at the same time all the countries in the me john know america plays an indispensable role and we'd like america to continue to do that. >> rose: a conversation about china, the united sta
