carter. the new york times for 25 years. bill good to have you on the program. you say jon stewart was mulling his future at the daily show for a while now. >> his contract was up at the end of this year and he talked about it a lot thinking seriously about leaving. a lot of people think that's a negotiating ploy you know? when your contract is up but i know jon and i knew he was serious. you know he feels like he's done it all at that show. won ten straight emmy awards, hosted the oscars twice. i think he's the kind of guy who looks at his future and think, what else can i do? i think that's why he made the decision now. >> clearly, he's interested and a talented guy. he could go in a lot of different directions. the accomplishments he has, you talk about some of the awards and stuff but just the importance of the daily show in the national discussion i don't think can be overstated. certainly the last ten years or so. >> no no question. and many younger people younger americans have looked at that as their newscast. i mean they obviously, jon is make comedy an

joining me tonight bill carter and comedian and cocreator of "the daily show" liz winstead.hat was your reaction when you heard this? >> i wasn't totally shocked. i think jon has been laying out the possibility for quite awhile. late night is usually like the end of someone's career. they start and finish doing that because there's nothing else you can do after late night. the format brilliantly create here by our guest is really a brilliant format. >> liz, did you have any idea that stewart would be as impactful as he has been? >> you know you never -- if i were to say yes, you should throw me off the show. i think knowing jon and knowing that he has been a voracious consumer of news since 1990 he would be able to take the framework that i set up and make it his own. the thing that he did that is astoundingly wonderful for the franchise is he worked as hard on his own material as he did on shaping the correspondents and the material so that he was preparing the show for a legacy as much as he was preparing himself to leave. >> will there be another jon stewart? i used to wa

h.r. 240 was the bill introduced by the chairman of the subcommittee, judge carter, and sent to the senate. if i understand the gentleman correctly, he is now asserting that bill that he moved through this chamber violated the rules of the house. i urge him to withdraw his point of order and allow for the house to vote on a clean full-year bill for the department of homeland security. absent that, i urge the presiding officer to overrule the gentleman's point of order. the speaker pro tempore: the chair is prepared to rule. the gentleman from kentucky makes a point of order that the amendment proposed by the instructions in the motion to recommit offered by the gentlewoman from california violates section 302-f of the congressional budget act of 1974. section 302-f of the budget act precludes consideration of an amendment providing new budget authority if the adoption of the amendment and enactment of the rule or joint resolution, as amended, would cause the pertinent allocation of new budget authority under section 30 it-a of the act -- 302-a of the act. the chair has an estimate of the c

more critical than bill clinton, jimmy carter and ronald reagan. you have to understand one thing. we get to see giuliani a lot when he was a mayor here. the rap on him, he wasn't conservative enough when he was mayor. when he was going to run, he's so moderate. he thought george bush was too conservative, he went with john mccain. this was a graduation. whatever giuliani thinks and what you think of what he think, this didn't happen overnight. >> this isn't someone who's afraid of criticism. he had an honest moment, a clear moment. some would say, there are our critics that said it was brave to say what he said, but he faced a ton of criticism after visiting with us. he visited with megyn kelly last night and doubled down. watch. >> mr. mayor, do you want to apologize for your comments? >> not at all. i want to repeat it. the reality is i -- from all that i can see of this president, all i heard of him, he apologizes for america. he criticizes america. i have no doubt about it, i do not withdraw my words. if the president goes and makes a speech and talks about what a great countr

richard nixon, when goldwater went down pennsylvania avenue, gerald ford, jimmy carter ronald reagan george h.w. bush bill clinton or george w. bush, there was a willingness on both sides of the aisle to get in a car together and go down pennsylvania and say, mr. president, you have usurped far too much power. we can't let you destroy the constitution any further. we are taking a stand, and we have missed that opportunity to act responsibly but fortunately it's not yet too late. this will act responsibly to say -- and if you don't know what irresponsibility is then look at judge hannon's opinion. he spells it out. this president didn't even have the gumption to write an executive order and sign it. he spoke his new amnesty law into being and then jae johnson did a memo. that took the power of congress away from us so the question on acting responsibly is, do we make that message clear we're not having laws spoken into being in this country and having some bureaucrat unelected, come around with a memo that undoes laws by different congresses all these years signed by different presidents with a memo? come

carter will have to defend the budget before he's responsible for it. he can expect tough questions about the soaring bills for the 35 and fighter jets and efforts to cut rising pension and welfare costs for retired groups. for ashton carter it's to show they can still save money. >> coming up all the sports news with joe, including michael clerk prepares to make a return from injury. jo will be here in a little while. >>> police in france are investigating an attack on soldiers. they were injured in the southern city of nis. they were disarmed and handed over to police along with an accomplice. a controversial comedian appears in a paris court. accused of terrorism after a publisher comment on the internet. will jordan reports from paris. >>> to his fans he's a comedian. to his critics he's a demi god. dieudonne is a divisive figure. now he's accuse of condemning terrorism. it started with a comment made on january the 11th a day when millions took in unity rallies under the slogan "jes suis charlie." on his facebook page dieudonne wrote "i feel like amedy coulibaly" a reference to the gunman who killed f

not the ukraine has lawmakers are drawing all over the land ownership bill and that is worth fighting about between you and to be. cartercott walker takes the mainstream media's to school but guess what they're doing they're giving the governor the top grade out of all other 2016 contenders and a leg as he was at the bottom of the list? krispy steve. you can hear the commentary from today gasparino. you like boxing did they do a good job? >> i didn't see anybody land punches. but it is pretty interesting if you look at the wall street establishment who'd they consider the top dogs and they like chris christie and jeb bush. but let's give rank-and-file republicans they don't even rate. that is the interesting figure that is a huge disconnect between the establishment although we should point out one of the the drive from skybridge capital is siding with walker as the al leiter. tom: rebecca, as we are getting picked on this early is says the other side is worried about but it does it also put you out there too soon it to get picked on to the point where it is not an advantage? >> there is a risk to be the perceived front

carter got along, bush got along, even bill clinton got along with benjamin netanyahu in his first incarnation produce two interim agreements on the israeli-palestinian issue. here you have dysfunctional policy interaction, dysfunctional personality interaction and it's really taking its toll. >> what do you say, i heard this criticism over the weekend and i want to get your response to it. this is not me speaking. what do you say to somebody who says you know, we're just a few presidents away potentially from a president who doesn't support israel the way that this relationship has been going and the way that public sentiment in the united states has been trending. the united states does not need israel the way israel needs the united states. is it netanyahu making a mistake here by picking this fight with obama? what would your response to that argument again, not made by me what would your response be? >> well i think the notion of an israeli prime minister coming here when the end game on iran is playing itself out, accepting a partisan invitation from one party, not the other, isn't frank

carter's nomination. >>> once it hits his desk president obama has ten days to veto a bill authorizing construction of the keystone xl pipeline. it cleared the house yesterday and is seen as a significant legislative and political victory for republicans. but the president has repeatedly threatened to veto the bill and republicans don't have the votes to override him. advocates say it would mean jobs. opponents are concerned about the environmental impacts. >>> there is a new push to combat drug overdoses especially heroin. in maryland the state attorney general will talk about the initiative in baltimore later this morning. we'll be working with our partner station there to tell you what he says. maryland leaders say there has been a surge of heroin related deaths in that state from about 254 years ago to more than 400 last year. >>> d.c. is now cracking down -- business regulators seized more than $1,000 worth of skoob bisnacks there. we're told district officials are working on other similar cases right now. >>> in eastern ukraine, a cease-fire deem has been reached after a lot of negotiations between

bill: specifically on isis isil daesh, ashton carter in this appearance from two days ago talking with senator john mccain about what the strategy is. this clip, chris, is getting a lot of attention and not for the right reasons. watch it. >> i think the, u u, strategy connects ends and means and our respect to isil needs to be its lasting defeat. i say lasting, because it is important that when they get defeated they stay defeated. and, that is why it is important that we have, those on the ground there who will insure that they stay defeated once defeated. bill: so you got that? that is really smart guy. senator mccain was shaking his head at the end of that. what you find is you find people doing flips to explain that. why is that? >> it is awfully hard to explain especially when you have somebody like king abdullah that comes out and says, we will fight until we are out of ammunition and out of fuel. we will fight and we will kill them. we will kill them wherever they are. they speak with that sort of certainty. look, let's remember, in hour after hour of congressional testimony, e
