films - not mel brooks, six brooks films. with some of the ones i mentioned. i'll let you know about it. look for tcm to broadcast. >> it's amazing when you think about it, the dimensions to you that so many don't know about. people will say "i know that", but probably didn't know it was connected to mel brooks. there can never be another mel brooks, is there a next best thing in the latest generation of comics, we'll ask mel who he thinks it is, and you tweet us the same. we'll be right back. >> these protestors have decided that today they will be arrested >> these people have chased a president from power, they've torn down a state... >> what's clear is that people don't just need protection, they need assistance. >> [ ♪ music ] i'm looking at a clip in the monitor and mel's face, he's laughing. >> dave shapel was a familiar face, you gave him a big break, an opportunity you have given to up and coming comics. david in the google hangouts has a question. >> it's an honour. are you able to share some of the characters of yo

a name by the man of preston brooks. brooks didn't take kindly. he didn't hear the speech. he read about it and thought of it a problem. he decided to confront sumner. sumner completely unwittingly avoided brooks for some time. it happened they passed each other at times where brooks couldn't talk to him after a couple of days brooke got angry, he waited for sumner at the back of the senate, and he went up to him once the galleries were clear, and struck him over the head with his cane more than 30 times. sumner fell in to the aisleway in the senate and had to leave the senate for some months to recover. so this is a story that has long been told as something that proves how divisive washington was. and certainly it became divisive outside of washington. it became divisive in the north and the south. if we look more closely at washington in this period, we can see that it is part of a larger culture of violence and vice in the capitol. that was not so shocking to the people who lived at that time. it was part of the social and political code that i'm talking about. as i men

>> yes, brook. that the foreign minist ministry has told us he's arriving here at 7:50 p.m. on a local flight from los angeles. as you said, he ended up in the marshall islands. i've been here since 7:00. there's been a lost activity. you cannot see balloons anymore because the temperatures here is in the 90s and they'll pop. the entrance at the house, the house where he grew up, was nicely decorated. you can probably still see the sign that says "bien casa" you know what that means, welcome home. a while ago his parents left the premises and presumably they left for the airport to reunite with their son, somebody whom they haven't seen in eight years, brooke. and hug him for the first time in that long. >> amazing rafael romo. what an assignment you have today. now to washington, just in, the house of representatives voting to repeal a cut to military pensions, move from last year's budget agreement. earlier, house speaker john boehner and republicans dropped their demand to link this repeal to a m

look at the numbers, brooke, though. the third snowiest year ever in detroit, 77 inches of snow already this season. now, this is not just this year, this is the snow season, really from october to now. toledo, 72 inches, indianapolis, 52. and there's the big number, new york city 57 inches of snow, already. and it's not done. now, what is done, though, is some cold air, because i think we're going to start to get warm air in here. we could even get the chance of severe weather later in the week. the snow way up here for this storm, but it starts to warm up tremendously. we even have some flood watches out now and even a couple of flood warnings likely as it gets warmer, because some of that snow could melt so quickly, brooke. >> okay. do we know when this will be over? >> let me go talk to punxsutawney phil and see what he says now. >> what's going on there? sorry, i have to ask. >> we are finally breaking down -- the pattern finally broke down. we have been in this papttern fr a long time. ridge, ridge, warm, dry, trou

brooke, this is just the beginning.e way at the end of the weekend. >> it keeps coming and coming. ted rowlands knows a thing or two about being out in the cold. he's in chicago, where we know it's been a mess for travelers, airlines, a lot of other folks. ted rowlands, at least you're warm inside for the moment. how much is this costing these cities, all this weather? >> reporter: it's costing all of us. if you live in a cold weather city this year, it has been costly. not only miserable, but it's hit the pocketbook as well. first the obvious. municipalities that have had to plow and add the salt. budgets blown out by the overtime costs. and there's a salt shortage, too. in many cities around chicago, they're down. so they have to buy it at an increased rate. so they're getting hit. there's retail businesses. one restaurant owner told me he's down 25%. we went down to our favorite restaurant here, valari. beautiful italian restaurant. they say they're down about 10%, only because their delivery business is up a bit. >>

butler's cousin was serving in the house at this time, preston brooks, brooks did not take kindly to this. he did not hear the speech but he read about it and thought this was a problem so he decided to confront some there. some they're completely unwittingly avoided brooks for some time. they happened to pass each other at times where brooks couldn't go to speak to him and after a couple days of this brooks got very pain-free, he waited for sumner at the back of the senate, went up to him once the galleries were clear and struck him over the head with his cane 30 times. sumner fell into the aisle in the senate and had to leave the senate for some months to recover. this is a story that has long been told as something that proves how divisive washington was and certainly it became a divisive outside of washington. it became decisive in the north and in the south but if we look more closely at washington in this period we can see that it is part of a larger culture of violence and vice in the capital that was not so shocking to the people who lived at that time. it was part of the soc

those terms come from vanwick brooks. brooks wrote the first biography in america of h.g. wells, and here's what he wrote about wellses. this is 1917. without doubt, wells has altered the air we breathe and made a conscious fact in many minds the excellence that resides in certain kinds of men, an odiousness that resides in others. wells located in the rockefeller institute, the carnegie and russell sage foundations, the endowed universities and bureaus of research. the future church he hoped that would govern all of america. in other words, what he was hoping for brooks saw in wells was hope for a clerics, a semisecular but in some sense a religious group whose underlying values would define the country. and if -- i'm not going to get into it today, but if you think about the members of lbj's cabinet, how many of them are ph.d.s, how many of them come out of the universities, there's a famous moment when john gardener supposedly jokingly began a cabinet meeting when he said, welcome, faculty.

well, arthur brooks has talked about 4, which i think are wonderful.notes,hat arthur brooks faith, family, community, work, all of which, i think, there is substantial empirical evidence to show that they do play a role in fostering our well-being. research, the modern research literature, there are two particular factors that i would like to highlight. they all can be affected by the four factors that arthur brooks described. generosity, conscientiousness. generosity and conscientiousness. both of these turn out to be the fostering in of well-being. written aboutas secular ethics in several books and his holiness talks about the ethics of restraint, the ethics of virtue, and the ethics of compassion. i think the colleges in -- i think the conscientiousness is ofacted by the ethics restraint and generosity being impacted by the ethics of virtue and compassion. so i think that there is an interesting parallel between the buddhist framework and the conceptions that we are coming up with in modern science. i would like to now turn to the notion that measu

brooke? >> so jim, to you. we have been talking about fears surrounding the winter olympic games and fears of extremists. i understand you are making the point that this is very different from some sort of extremist group in the sense that this individual according to reporting announced he had a bomb where as a different group wouldn't have done any talking. they would have taken action. >> that's right. it's an important point. the mo is different here. the kinds of groups that have been threatening to target the games, islamist extremist groups detonate explosives and ask questions later for lack of a better phrase. in 2004, it is suspected the two of those black widow bombers brought down two planes in russia, lighting off explosives mid-flight. the idea of diverting and talking to the pilot and saying i have an explosive and take me somewhere else is not the mo of the kinds of attackers we have been familiar with and focused on in relation to the attacks. that said, a serious enough thre

arthur brooks is the president of the american enterprise institute. and arthur wrote a book on the road to freedom a couple of years ago, and he gave a lecture on happiness that greatly influenced me. i attended it with one of my two wonderful sons. and he turned to me, a 21-year-old, and said that's the best thing i've ever heard. i told arthur that, he lit up. it was a lecture on happiness and about what you'll end up evaluating your life by. and that actually inspired me to start writing this, and i started with dennis prager's book, "happiness is a serious problem." dennis wrote that book 15 years ago, it's still in print. so my goal is to get prager and brooks and myself out on a happiness tour and to see if we can't bring a little joy as opposed to political grimness. i also was move today write this book, which is not a political book. i've written 15 books, a dozen of which have been on politics, two on my christian faith and one on happiness. i may rest a while. 2012 was a grim result for me -- perhaps for many of you. i was deeply invested e
