>> charlie: welcome to the program. we begin this evening with benedict cumberbatch, the star of the new film, the imitation games. >> it was uncompromising. there was no asking to be liked. it's funny and witty in intelligence. then you get embrawled in the mystery of who the man is and the code. and then the de-evolution of the tragedy of his demise. the emotional impact of what injustice he was served and what happened to him in the excruciating reality is only magnified in why didn't i know is this. >> charlie: we conclude with a conversation about the portrait painter lucian freud. we talk with david dawson and john richardson. >> he was just a very great artist who, to my mind, was the great portraitist of his day. he also had this extraordinary feeling, maybe inherited from his grandfather, of perceiving people's personalities. >> charlie: the acting of benedict cumberbatch and painting of lucian freud, when we continue. >> rose: funding for "charlie rose" has been provided by the following: >> rose: additional f

>> charlie: yes. we're very proud to have contributed. >> charlie: not this year. not this year. you can't guarantee you will be champion forever. >> charlie: didn't you like the ego value of that, having your own team? >> yes, but you have to overcome that. >> charlie: thank you, carlos. great to see you again. >> thank you. >> charlie: norman lear is here, the "new yorker" magazine called him the pugnacious runner long before that existed. he is responsible for sitcoms. received four emmys, a peabody and national endowment of arts. his new book is called "even this i get to experience." pleased to have norman lear back at this table. welcome, sir. >> he is pleased to be here. >> charlie: i hope so. why did it take you so long to write this? >> it only took me 87 years. (laughter) i had nothing else to do. i wanted to write it 20 years before i actually wrote it and made notes and had people save me scripts and going through correspondence. i had a pile of stuff when i finally started five years ago.

>> charlie: welcome to the program. we begin this evening with neil patrick harris. >> i've lived a lot of chapters and i think that was the thing i keyed in on was that i didn't have a big arc to tell, but i had lots of really extraordinarily interesting things that i have gotten to do, whether they be act as a kid or white water rafting in costa rica or, yeah, having kids through sur roug surrogacy. >> charlie: we conclude with al hunt, his guest denis mcdonough, white house chief of staff. >> we know to win this thing, our effort to degrade and destroy i.s.i.l, our security forces have to be the boots on the ground to take the fight to i.s.i.l. our guys will make sure they're forward deployed at al-assad air base to train them and make sure they can take the fight to i.s.i.l themselves. this is their battle to win, not ours. >> charlie: neil patrick harris and denis mcdonough when we continue. funding for charlie rose is provided by the following. >> and by bloomberg, a provider of multimedia news and information ser

>> charlie: welcome to the program. we begin this evening's immigration reform and the president's speech last night. i talked earlier this evening with john dickerson, the political director at cbs news. >> on the republican side, this is a big opportunity for all republicans who want to run for president to define themselves on an issue that the grassroots cares a great deal about, and it's both a substantive question -- how do you want to handle undocumented workers -- but then there's also a tactical question -- in other words, you can have a position that is very tough on undocumented workers but suggests restraint in combat with the president, keeping in mind some of these political realities. and how the candidates of 2016 position themselves in this argument will tell us a lot about which bucket of conservative voters they're going after in the presidential primaries. >> charlie: we continue with al hunt on the story with david ignatius and kareem sagipor. >> my sense is we're not going to reach a comprehensive

but the only religion charlie ever had was the church of charlie. >> the church of charlie got strangerily got bigger. leaving san francisco for l.a. to secure the big record deal charlie was sure was coming. the manson "family" made a dilapidated old movie set called spawn ranch their home. >> everybody was really happy, and we would help take care of the horses. garbage runs were a lot of fun, we would hop in the back of, you know, those dumpsters behind the stores, and you'd find all kinds of vegetables. >> george spawn, the old owner, was nearly blind. lynette fromme was assigned by manson to live with george and to fulfill his every whim and george liked to pinch her a lot and she would squeal and george is the one that nicknamed her squeaky. >> manson hosted lsd-fuel orgies, gave persuasive sermons and made ensuring his success as a musician the family's top priority but recording execs weren't interested. and charlie was angry. >> he just seemed on fire. he was all over the place pacing. he was very worried. >> by 1968, race riots, the black panther movement and anti-war violence

>> charlie: well come to the program. we begin this evening with a new feature on our nightly edition, asking the best journalist we know to come and contribute as contributors, whether an interview or story, and we begin where we should, with al hunt of bloomberg view. tonight, secretary of state john kerry. >> let me use this program to deliver a very clear message to the iranians which is this is not a political decision for us. this is a substantive decision based on the proof of a peaceful program. it's not hard to prove your program is peaceful if that's what you want to do. so outside leverage, you know, syria, i.s.i.l., whatever, is not relevant to. this it's not affecting us one way or the other. we have one set of criteria in our mind. >> charlie: we conclude with our political panel looking at the med-term elections. david lee, john dickerson, nancy corps december and anthony salbano. >> the democrats have been talking about the republicans nonstop. you look in north carolina, for example, not only is tom tilli

charlie prefers to be independent.imas never occurred to before world war i to have somebody else brush and comb his hair. after a grenade exploded and blew his hands off in france, he figured there still was not anyone living who would handle mcgonegal that are then thanegal -- better mcgonegal. does not shoelaces bother him either. he does it about seven seconds slower than me, which gives me time to go and catch the bus. -- time itime i and , mine -- time i tie them come undone. charlie ties them so they can stick. three, charlieut learned how to dress himself. after the war, the habit persisted. he does it alone from the first sock to the final tilt of his hat. buttoninginstead of it up in a regular way, handles differently with hooks. charlie can button but hooks do it better. this saves time. he wears a vest like people did in the past when people talked about dillinger and the model t. hooks are operated by the shoulders. next to his wallet. then his glasses. he polished them when he took them off last night. fi

. >> governor rick scott and charlie crist going head to head. >> there is excitement for charlie crist. >> and the best organized ground game i've ever seen. >> charlie crist is about the future. >> i was told he wasn't going to show up. >> and rick scott is just a terrible past. >> a guy who ran a company who had to pay the largest fine for fraud. >> how would i know what -- >> charlie crist has the ability to right the ship. >> we're all in this together. >> what wins the election is vote are turn skrout. >> stand up and take back this state. >> both biden and crist were making sure votes got to the polls. >> we want people's governor. >> a new governor that has a heart and cares about you. >> how would i know what, i mean -- >> good to have you with us. it's almost here. tomorrow marks election day and key races around the country cooperate koochbt couldn't be any closer. the latest ppp poll has charlie crist tied with rick scott at 44%. a new quinnipiac poll released sunday has crist up by one point. many floridians have already voted. the tampa bay times reports over 3 million peo

liam and charlie were close.nse of an uncle and nephew. >> this case is so disturbing, because this type of predator is so cunning and uses his charm to make his victim accessible through the victim's own parents. a little different than the internet pedophile. this guy ingratiate's himself with the family. he's the go-to guy. he's the guy that everybody trusts. >> liam was sick. he came home with 105 fever from school. my daughter was a newborn. she was only a few weeks old and i was trying to care for her with little sleep. and also care for liam being very ill. i had spoken with my husband to see if he could come home from work. he's gone all of the time in the late spring and summer due to his line of work. and me being in the delicate state that i was, i felt that i really needed someone there that night. >> i actually kind of convinced my wife to call charlie, knowing that he is a night owl, that he sleeps in the middle of the day and is up at night on his computer. and that he would be more than willing to

the first priority charlie, the most dangerous is isil. it's a threat to all of us, ever and certainly to the middle east. >> rose: when is it time to do something different and introduce more combat troops. >> i know the question many people ask but i also know what our policy is and what the president's been very clear about. and he has said he will not commit american combat military operation in the middle east. there will be and there is combat there in syria and iraq. boots on the ground in iraq. but they're not americans fighting that war. we're training, we're advising, we're equipping, doing everything we did. >> rose: there may come a time which he has to recommend to the president to inject more combat troops there in order to stop isil. so the question is, what circumstances would produce that decision. >> well two things. i think we should be clear on what general dempsey has said. i never heard general dempsey say and i sat right next to him at a hearing last week, that he might eventually, essentially say we need to have the

charlie, earlier tonight i said when charlie speaks i take notes. two months ago we talked, you told me the following things that i did not know. and this talks about the way the table is set for president obama who's out there trying to get democrats to turn out, which is what he desperately needs. here are some of the things he's up against. because of jerry man der, people say they wrote the congressional districts to their advantage, they d democrats have done the same thing. because of the republican gerrymander, democrats have to get 6.8% more vote than republicans just to win 51% of the house. >> that's right. and it's a combination of trends, democrats, you know, live in highly concentrated areas, and they win a bunch of districts by huge margins, and when republicans move, so democrats waste a lot of votes in large urban areas, and it's, a combination. >> and there's no chicaynery there. it's just if you look at districts like harlem, where democrats make 51% of the vote -- >> every vote over is wasted. >> another thing i did not know about

he didn't hurt charlie. wasn't trying to hurt him. >> but charlie must have sensed his brother wasn't happy because he quickly opens his mouth and lets go. >> that really hurts. >> and that's when charlie starts laughing. >> all of a sudden the baby just goes -- like out of nowhere the kid is full on maniacal laugh about biting the kid's finger. >> he found it funny because either i was finding it funny or the whole experience made him laugh. >> howard, the first to witness what millions would come to see and love shows the video to his wife when she came home. >> i thought it was funny. we put it on our digital photo frame for a few weeks and we showed it to friends and family when they visited. >> but howard wants to show the video to a few friends in the states, including the boys' godfather. his friends suggest uploading it to the internet. at first the video only receives a few hundred hits, but within a few months it begins to double almost daily, and howard's video soars off the charts when it reaches

welcome. >> thank you, charlie.nice to be here. >> rose: let's just talk first about the resignation of chuck hagel, who i interviewed last week, and then he resigned. >> was there a relationship between that, do you think? >> rose: no, i don't. although, it's been suggested to me that, you know, clearly secretary hagel had it on his mind, the resignation, at that time, and it didn't just happen between that interview and the moment that he felt compelled to resign. help us understand it. >> well, it's difficult from the outside. secretary haig expel the president have a long-term and close relationship. >> rose: from the senate. >> from the senate. they were close to each other as senators. they traveled together. >> rose: sat on the senate foreign relations committee and went to israel together. >> yes, secretary hagel had an impact on then-senator obama's thinking and they became close friends and remain close friends. so it's difficult to penetrate those conversations. in their conversations they go both ways fr

as charlie pointes. as charlie pointed out earlier, the president has really been a drag on his own party today, scott. >> what did you both find about congress? >> norah, congress isn't doing so well, either. one recent poll said people preferred brussel sprowts and root canals to congress. congress is even more unpopular than the president. 78% disapprove of the job that congress is doing. >> that's among the highest we've actual lean seen in our cbs news exit polling. the late democratic senator robert byrde once said, "is it any wonder why the approval rating of congress goes up every time we go into recess." >> pelley: i think we've maligned brussels sprowts unfairly here tonight. we want to talk about some of the governors' races. there are more than 30 governors' races happening tonight. those are the races that are really going to be affecting people's lives in a significant way. let's have a look at one of those races, one of the most interesting and important races tonight. it's the race for go

you have to look he stuff and see what he said to the detective, charlie. but you know, the gun accidentally came out of his holster. the gun accidentally went off. but now that story has evolved. and so we asked america to look at it and to see if they believed the prosecution really went after an indictment or not. because that's why people are so heartbroken. >> rose: has the prosecutor spoken to this question? as to what he was seeking and what his motive was with respect to the grand jury? >> only what we know from the beginning where he said he's going to do this unusual process of putting it all out there and i'm to the going to recommend any charges. >> rose: but would you applaud him having all the conversation come out, i would assume. >> you know, my clients told all the lawyers they wanted equal justice. they didn't want anything less. they wanted a trial as the constitution about united states says. when there are fact all disputes and there's probable cause, the killer should be charged. there should be a trial. the witness and the evidence ag

charlie gasparino knows.will tell you who she is at odds with and why this all started in the first place. energy shake up oil prices. trading near four-year lows. what will it mean for the future of solar power in america. tom werner has been through thick and thin. he's one of the leaders when it comes to this. he talks about a profit warning, but on top of that, where does this company go from here? liz: we have 32 and a half minutes before the closing bell rings. look at our heat map. cisco, and had you been watching "after the bell," you would have gotten a window on why this stock keeps moving here. john chambers told fox business he will remain in that chair, not ready when he will step down. they've had a very decent quarter. lots of fails in certain parts of their business. they have had some weakness though in -- depending on the area of the globe. >> i like john chambers. ideas he sit to the side? does he have a back issue? suppose i sat like this, i'll have my hip like this. that's what he does. l

charlie rose has a guest who will be a key player there. charlie. >> thank you. congressman paul ryan of wisconsin was elected tonight to a ninth termed as chair of the budget committee. he is one of the most members of the republican majority in the house but does he have his eye on the house at the other end of pennsylvania avenue? he joins us tonight from milwaukee. congressman ryan, thank you for joining us. >> to be with you charlie. >> do you have a message for the president of the united states tonight? >> yeah, his policies are aren't workinworking and he should worh the republicans. it looks like we're going to get the senate and we'll give him the opportunity to make some decisions because we intend to put legislation on his desk. >> that raises questions. what is it you want to do and prepared to do to steped for and meet the president halfway? >> look, we've passed 380-plus bills in the house dealing with job creation, foreign policy, securing the border, opening up our energy to create more jobs and energy independence. a whole range of issues. all o

>> well, it should probably help charlie crist.ick scott they're running a effective campaign ad which shows images of charlie crist from years ago saying that bill clinton should resign after being impeached and they're j juxtapositioning of it with charlie crist saying he's a great guy. >> it shows that words matter even if they were awhile ago. thank you very much. >>> up next we'll take a little teeny break from politics. he's a legend. carlos santana will join me live to talk about his new memoir how he went from playing at the t taiwijuana bar to becoming a ten-time grammy winner and what motivates him outside of music. >>> be sure to join us on facebook. facebook.co facebook.com/tamronhall. oats go! wow! go power oats! go! go power! yayyyy! i'm just looking over the company bills.up? is that what we pay for internet? yup. dsl is about 90 bucks a month. that's funny, for that price with comcast business, i think you get like 50 megabits. wow that's fast. personally, i prefer a slow internet. there is something about the sweet

charlie crist has 47%.000 vote advantage for rick scott. 3%, 3%, 3% of the vote still outstanding. north carolina 69% of the vote now in and thom tillis, 3,352 votes ahead of kay hagan. thom tillis, the republican challenger, the incumbent kay hagan. slightly ahead. we're watching this race very closely. pat roberts as you see, still over greg orman. these are close. these are incredibly close races in florida. it's amazing what's going on there. north carolina, all of a sudden, thom tillis has a slight advantage. >> pick your wow. you want to start in north carolina, we'll start in north carolina. you mentioned thom tillis. he just has passed nearly 70% of the vote counted. now you start looking at the map and say what's left. mecklenburg county, a huge piece of democratic vote. at hagen headquarters, they say okay. we've got a basket of oats still to come in. if you're the tillis campaign you're saying what's left for us. nearly 70% of the vote counted in fayetteville area. still some more votes there pot
