(cheers and applause) captioning sponsored by comedy central >> jon: welcome to the daily show. my name is jon stewart. got a nice show for you tonight. the star of the new film "we need to talk about kevin" and obviously next week in the interest of fairness, we'll bring on kevin. we need to talk about his new film, really? really? we've been talking a lot about these past few weeks about the president and congress. there's a third and equal branch of government, the judicial branch which by now must be feeling somewhat ignored. that changed tonight with our brand-new segment a love supreme. (cheers and applause) sorry. we didn't forget about you supreme court baby. why don't you change into something more comfortable. actually, you wear robes, i mean, yeah. i guess you could make the public more plush but you probably just wearing a snuggie. any way, the point is th

. >> michael cassidy wrote "the skinny on bullying." the book uses clever stick figures to tell the story of billy and beth and how they helped their friends to deal with bullies. >> for bullying, the golden rule is to talk to an adult. talk to someone you trust, whether it's someone at the school or a parent or a cousin. all too many times, a kid will keep it bottled inside, and that's where, you know, a lot of problems can start, 'cause there are people out there trying to help. >> ronnie's kept his problems bottled up for two years before he finally told his parents, but when he did, they helped him find a solution. he's made new friends that sharedis interests, and now he's a great student again. >> i think it's hard, 'cause a lot of times, the victim doesn't want to get adults involved 'cause it's embarrassing. >> everyone has had an experience with a bully at some point, it's fair to say, so if you talk to an adult, they could open up your eyes to things you didn't realize. they could teach you things you may have otherwise not kn

robber barron of the late 19th and 20th century, those who have seen the classic move visit "butch cassidy and the sundance kid" will remember that name from the movie. avril harriman was a hard-driving businessman who was desperate to get a job in the roosevelt administration, but the president at least initially was not too keen about having him. they had known each other for about 35 years. the harriman estate is, again, six degrees of separation is in the hudson valley not too far from here, and the two families had a lot of social links. but roosevelt didn't think much of harriman's father and he considered harriman basically, again, at that time as basically a dilettante and a playboy. it really was harry hopkins, fdr's closest aide, who persuaded roosevelt to take a chance on harriman, and sent him to london as the administrator of the new lend/lease program there. the third man is someone who unlike murrow and harriman has been almost totally forgotten in this country, but in many ways he was the most important. his name is john gilbert winan, and he was the u.s. ambassador to brit

career when he made loads of successful movies, what if he had gotten a -- there would be no butch cassidy, and there would be a guy doing a documentary about how a performance artist created a me mosaic out of tampons. >> i am now tasting the bitter medicine that i will not have a anymore in sundance after i say, you are right, our government does not do enough for artists. and thank god we have private industry that steps up and subsidizes art across the country. all you have to do is walk down park city and you can't swing a dead cat without seeing pepsi signs in every banner and endorsement from big business. and i just find that really hipocritical. >> if you swing a dead cat you might hit tracy morgan. >> it has to be low jie. swing it low. >> i shouldn't say that. we don't know how well he is. i hope you are doing well. >> you could hit tracy morgan's dead cat. he is the craziest person alive walking around with his own dead cat. i got my cat here. >> i sound like yosemite sam. >>> i saw your independent film earlier this year. it was called "my paper route from a station wagon" whi

yet i am just as groovy as david cassidy ever was. >> i think you are -- you are on the groovy scaleg one of the cowsils and a 10 being in the par trig family -- you know what bobbie sherman does for a living now for nobody who remembers him? >> he lives on my lunch box. >> he is a sheriff in los angeles. bet you didn't know that, now you do. the percentage of people over 30 who call themselves conservative has gone up. doesn't this prove people under 30 should be in jail? >> perhaps, perhaps. again, didn't listen. it works in this order. i think people are conservative because right now we have one of the greatest republican presidents since regan. he killed osama and he wants to destroy the commerce department. can you imagine bush doing something like this? you can call him liberal all you want, bute ain't. -- but he ain't. and it directly correlates with the rise of the internet. the internet is -- has not brought us together. it broke us apart. instead of going into the outside world and interacting with people you don't necessarily agree with, you go into your chat rooms and go

cassidy, for five minutes. mr. cassidy: thank you, mr. speaker. in the challenges we have of creating jobs, every now and then we have a light-hearted moment. congresswoman sewell, and i made a challenge over the b.c.s. championship game. i am here to pay off my end of the challenge. first, let me congratulate l.s.u. they had a tremendous season. they played nine ranked teams, four of those games were against those in the top three in the polls. coach les miles was coach of the year. there were four positions on all-american team held by the l.s.u. tigers. two on the second team. it was a tremendous season for the fans as well. that said, i also congratulate alabama. they similarly had a great year. they are to be congratulated. they came back from their earlier defeat where l.s.u. beat them at bryant demi stadium. i would say to congresswoman sewell, she was incredibly gracious in paying off our arrangement then and enjoyed those ribs. i congratulate congressman broun when l.s.u. beat georgia was gracious. i pay off my arrangement with congresswo

and he's going to -- his political career's going to end up like butch cassidy and the sun dance kid. there's no way out. he's -- the only people supporting newt's attack on private enterprise on free markets are newt, rick perry, and sarah palin. >> richard trumpka also. >> the only three are rick perry, newt gingrich, and again sarah palin, which just shows you how ideologically unmoored she's always been. >> he's got other attacks he can engage in, a lot in that ad. and i suspect he may try to play down the bain stuff. but the bain stuff will continue by his super pac and others for sure. >> i mean, for anybody who really understands what private equity does, this is just, governor, a real surprise. you were a progressive, a former democratic mayor and governor. but you know people in private equity. and they don't get paid by destroying companies and firing people. they get paid by turning companies around. and making profits. this is free market 101. and how shocking that newt gingrich doesn't seem to understand this. >> well, i agree, joe. although i'd like to see polling. i won

i was on with david cassidy from "the par trimming family." >> my gosh. >> i know david. >> who was the -- >> was he wearing a hat? >> reporter: he was not wearing a hat but, you know, if there's any guy who was a young person in the late '60s, early '70s who saw what david cassidy was going through being on the covers of all the teen magazines, girls lusting after him, i was kind of jealous of him when i was hanging out last night. >> really? >> are you kidding me? have you ever met a teenaged boy who did not want girls lusting after him? that was his life. >> yeah, but -- >> i just didn't see him. >> i knew him from the "teen beat" days. >> in his presence at golf tournaments, a nice guy. the lake tahoe -- >> he's got nothing on you, john. you're good. you're good to go. >> don't wore canny about it, john. thank you. it's good to see you. it was a long talk about a lot of things. i think we didn't need to go into the numbers again. we had already done it. >> we are going to talk to john again but, that's right, he was on "the colbert report." we have to check that out. karen tso is st

david cassidy? >> did you have a poster in your room as a kid?lly -- her father didn't let her listen to radio, said it was -- >> not allowed. >> said it was a communist conspiracy. >> i watched "happy days." >> so last night, it was a fascinating debate. newt, some would say, didn't show up. the old newt most of us have grown up with. >> it's interesting, one of the -- after south carolina, i talked to one of obama's advi r advise advisers, and we were talking about this momentum and the double-digit win and all that. and watch what happens when newt gets on top. he doesn't handle it well, doesn't perform well. he went into cruising speed on the monday night debate and said i'm not going to waste time answering those attacks and he simply is not on his came when he's not aggressive, when he's not hitting out really hard. and romney was especially sharp last night, relentless, never backing down. that's showing some fire that he hadn't shown in previous debates. and it's that combined with the money he's putting on television between him and the

and michelle's sister has custody of the now 7-year-old cassidy.our heart to think she was there. >> dan abrams is here. the crime took place in 2006. he wasn't arrested until 2009. lay out both sides of the case for us. >> it's a fascinating case. not surprising you saw a hung jury. he's got motive. he's having affairs. he doesn't want a pregnant wife. he doesn't want another child. computer searches that andrea mentioned. maybe the most important witness is a gas station attendant who says he bought gas at 5:30 in the morning and she's sure it was him. he says he was sleeping in another state at that time. prosecutors said, no, no, no, he left the hotel, went back to kill her, tried to drive back. that's why the attendant cobs important. for the defense, no direct evidence. they're going to say two ore people's dna was found at the house. maybe one of the most horrifying details is the 2-year-old, who andrea was talking about, she was found in the bed without her socks on, and yet there were little baby footprints throughout the blood. it's clear

the colbert panel was me, david cassidy from the "partridge family" and katrina vanden heuvel from "then marriage with my political predictions right now. >> good man. that's appealing, evidently. >> i think the one i love the best is mitt romney, comes back, wins florida and wins the nomination. >> when you get your own laugh in colbert's house, that is a good move. >> you know what? that is so much fun to do that show. i did jon stewart's "daily show" a few years ago. they are so different from what you and i do every day, it's a gas to work in a different format. >> yet they move the needle politically in this country. have a great weekend. >> you bet. >> don't forget to tweet us as bernanke embarks on a series of college lectures. might there be a better use of his time and what might that be? ? yeah, can i get a full-sized car? for full-sized cars, please listen to the following menu. for convertibles, press star one. i didn't catch that. to speak to a representative, please say representative now. representative. goodbye! you don't like automated customer service, and neither do w
