these are selling just equal to the dickens. this one's interesting here.-- rick perry and michele bachmann eating corn dogs? you see that? >> steve: oh, yeah. love it. >> jimmy: look at this. here's elvis eating a corn dog with both of them. very realistic. [ audience ohs ] [ scattered applause ] elvis loves corn dogs. not as much as rick perry and michele bachmann, but still -- those two are expert weiner gobblers. >> steve: yeah. [ laughter ] that's, like, photo realistic. >> jimmy: yeah. oh, this next velvet elvis is my personal favorite. it's elvis using the hands-free parallel parking feature on his new ford focus so he can play nerf fencing with one of the skinless bodies from the bodies exhibit. [ laughter ] i've heard these bodies are really good at nerf fencing, but i bet elvis is better. >> steve: yeah, i bet he is. [ laughter ] it's, like, ripped from the headline. >> jimmy: this next one actually has a title. >> steve: what -- what's the title? >> jimmy: it's called "the fall classic." >> steve: oh! >> jimmy: "fall classic." it's elvis taking a

and he would actually draw from the dickens stories. but even more important is that his view of life, and he says this very quietly but seriously a couple times in his autobiography, 'i was taught how to view the world through dickens, including an insatiable curiosity.' and i don't doubt that, absolutely--and also dickens helped him give form to chaos, you know, anti-city, pro-pastoral, ways to act out or to give shape and form and impose narrative form on some of his own bogeys, i guess, psychological bogeys. c-span: the last painting you have in the book is called "the connoisseur." >> guest: right. c-span: what's that from? 1962. >> guest: yes, and that--that painting's gotten a lot of press lately in terms of very good explications of it. but it--it is a wonderful example of what--what you just touched upon earlier of what rockwell could represent to this country, this tolerance. he has a conservative-looking man standing there with his even then dated hat and cane and so forth--umbrella, looking at a faux jackson pollock or somet

the blue jays ran their record to 6-0 this year over dickens it. they have outscored the opponents 250-44. high school football this afternoon, pauley visiting south western. big money out there. holly with a fumble recovery. he scoops, there is a long way to go. 84 yards all the way to the and so. untouched. engineers with a 20-0 lead. late second quarter, let it fly to dennis more pretty somehow comes down between two defenders. this sets up a touchdown. however, the engineers could the win by a final 34-7. looking around, trying to find something. 77 yards down the sideline. wildcats with a seven-zero peak. on fourth down, a gutsy call thatays off. 20-10 game. he is gone 80 yards for the touchdown. another win the 31 bit 634-31. >> good show tonight. terry bradshai is here. with verizon 4g lte. america's fastest and most reliable 4g network in over 140 cities. verizon. built so you can rule the air. >> and desperate for the weekend. it will be in the 60's. -- nice weather for the weekend. >>> thank you for having me on, >> jay: well, it's such a

i would like to say that when i was a kid growing up, i read charles dickens and he criticism a different characters and some a different levels of society. so, i wrote everyone from lucky, who was a strong desire when are around, and gino who came to america last century. he went through vietnam, early las vegas. finally, he has this fabulous daughter, lucky. tavis: stop. >> i am telling you too much. that is because i am a storyteller. tavis: there is a whole lot in here. i am always fascinated by novelists. i have a great respect for novelists. i have written 15 or 16 books but i have written about real stuff. the challenge for you all is to create stuff. how do you create all of this? >> when kitty kelley wrote the biography of frank sinatra and i had a book out at the time, frank send me a note and it said, jackie, you are writing fact. i saved that. he signed it francis albert. tavis: you do create this stuff. >> i do create it because i read everything. i am a pop culture john d. and i read everything going on everywhere. i create what is going on in the world today. there is a ver

the clean tech industry will grow like the dickens. they'll really accelerate. because everybody is looking now for how to reduce emissions, how to really contribute seriously to our environment, making a better place. that's what san francisco is. we're going to use this innovation but we're going to also invite them in the most responsible thing that these young folks want to do and that is to save our planet, save our energy, reduce carbon emissions, be part of the smartest city in the world to do better. it's our urban settings that will contribute significantly in the next few decades. whether or not we're going to survive as a better planet and it's going to happen in the urban settings. it's going to happen in downtown san francisco. congratulations, mitch. congratulations to your sharing the vision. i don't mind all the mistakes that go on here because then we get to recover and do even better. in the spirit of innovation, we don't mind the mistakes happen. but the investors, when they come in, they're going to put serious money behind all the best ideas

something sometimes is lost in the law, as dickens pointed out many years ago. but we are suggesting that somebody other than that judge, another judge, look at that and determine whether it is facially sufficient. because that is the standard. we are looking at issues like in florida. you get -- get $500 to a judge, that is okay, but if you give more than that, that judge cannot hear your case. if you are, let's say, the campaign manager for a judge -- because we have elections -- if anybody's interested -- let me just finish that. if you are a campaign manager, he cannot appear before that judge. the aba spent two years on a report called justice in jeopardy, which is online, and it talks about how judges are elected in every single state. one of the document you might be interested in because i understand you have had vigorous talks about this recently is immigration. the aba just issued several months ago the most comprehensive immigration reform report in the last two decades. it contains 10,000 pro bono lawyer hours of some of the best law firms in america

when charles dickens visited us in 1840, he was truly blown away by high water pressure on the fourth floor of the hotel he was staying in. nowhere in europe had he experienced that. this technology was doing something to support the life and the growth of the city. philadelphia, throughout the 19th century, was the major industrial city of the united states. all of these industries used water from this system. and it served as a prototype for many american cities, including pittsburgh and new york. man: new york city went to philadelphia and said, "you know, we're thinking of developing a hudson river water supply -- what do you suggest we do?" and they said, "we've had "a lot of problems on the schuylkill. "don't go to the hudson river. go to the upland and work by gravity." and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water come

. >> in the 1800's, charles dickens wrote a novel about his trip to america called "martin chuzzelwit." he mentioned his exposure to newspapers. we know that the "new york times" is biased. we know that the "economist" is biased. "wall street journal" is now horribly bias. we kind of adjust our lenses here when you read online and you do not know the person is, it is difficult to know whether it is legitimate or not. newspapers eventually disappear and are no longer published in print, so they are just competing with everyone else. how do we establish -- how do we know -- how to newspapers establish credibility? i saw this news reporter who put a piece on youtube about gavin newsom just walking away. so how did these organizations establish credibility? how are people able to see the problems with bias that will never come up? there is also a problem with advertisers, backers. a millionaire putting $500,000 or $1 million into a newspaper, and he will expect something in return. he may not want his coverage to be negative. so there are all these things. i wondered if anybody had any ge

pension cuts for taxes to try and please its creditors however for the national journalist and blogger dickens equal for now says the more bailouts greece receives the worse it gets for the economy. if they get the money the debt burden continues because they're still going to primary deficit which means that they have to borrow money from a creditor creditors to pay back their creditors the interest on their debt which we have grows at the same time they're cutting the public sector which is a huge part of our economy the contraction in their g.d.p. that makes the debt burden grow more and more relative. to be required to make it more the heart of the very back i think at this point being you or a lot of the people in europe are beginning to realize. at least greece and i think also i portugal and ireland are into big trouble to simply continue to address the problems piecemeal the way they've been doing it i think that at this point they need to have a structured solution for greece for ireland for portugal i think spain also and then figure out what we're going to do with italy i don't know

benefits the minimum wage and take us back to an economy truly safe for the very rich or poor one dickens wrote about it in a story about scrooge marley bob cratchit and tiny tim. and for a while it worked the so-called debt crisis defined the narrative in the media virtually from the day obama was sworn into office and the rich scrooges of the country got hundreds of billions of dollars richer while the tiny tim zz had more and more of their benefits cut and their parents threatened with unemployment the bob cratchit working people of america are reduced to saying is mr scrooge maybe not oh i'm to keep or. i'm just. here for twenty two. and the scrooge is for of course saying oh our has a think progress report pointed out back in july when our nation was facing an actual unemployment crisis and republicans were spinning a manufactured debt crisis the big three cable news networks m s n b c five since c.n.n. took wineskins bait in one week there were more than seven thousand five hundred references to debt on the cable news networks but only five hundred references to unemployment. the ma

our sovereignty it is also counterproductive it's the people who want to build friends in the sky dickens terrorism after the latest threats from washington fearing an even tougher assault thousands of pakistanis angrily rallied to say enough is enough for these people the us is a hostile power it's china that they see is a friend and the americans in this one instance have hand it over a major hearts and minds victory to the chinese in pakistan inspiring china officially notified washington that any attack on pakistan will be seen as an act of aggression against beijing the pakistani prime minister praised his country's relations with china calling them quote higher than mountains deeper than oceans stronger than steel and sweeter than honey washington on the other hand seems to have mastered the art of alienating friends with pakistan. taking america's accusations that they support terrorists as a way to shift the blame for the either of us policies on pakistan but the blame game made to go up into full scale aggression the experts believe we need to elevate our response they will have

our jeff dickens counted the sound bites and 93% of them were positive. protesters and people saying this was a wonderful thing. there really is at some point a question as to whether this is just advertising instead of news. >> bill: all right. so, tea party was portrayed in some precincts on network news as racist, as destructive, particularly after that little gauntlet thing where the congressman walked in and they were being shouted at and all of that. >> right. >> bill: while it was branded as such by the network news, i don't think there is any doubt about that. this movement, even though 34% of it according to the new york magazine thinks america is as gadd as al qaeda. that was a magazine very liberal magazine new york took. this is being stun as a good, wholesome, demonstration of legitimate dissent. >> not only that not really being described as ideological at all. you go looking and i believe we found two or three occasions in these 33 stories where they were even described as liberals. you know, this is the problem we have is -- they have done

but there's also the sort of person that mozart and dickens wanted people to be. so i think our young have to have available to them both world views. i'm not -- who could rule out madonna for anything? i mean, time-warner, if i'm not mistaken, just signed a $60 million deal with madonna, so she's going to be with us in every imaginable form. that's all right. no one wants to stop that. but i think the education of the young ought to pretend as if madonna is not there in the classroom because as soon as the children leave the classroom, madonna will be available to them. while they are in the classroom someone else should be available. c-span: mozart is very popular among a small percentage of the population -- very popular. why doesn't mozart appeal to the younger people or the majority of people? what is the difference in this? >> guest: first of all, i'm not sure that mozart wouldn't appeal. c-span: why doesn't he? >> guest: what i mean is that, in part, he is not heard enough; in part, because his music is more complex than bruce springsteen. one has to go to

they discovered a remarkable mind-- an insatiable reader: shakespeare, zola, dickens, walt whitman. >l that he wrote in 1888... >> safer: an incurable letter writer, who, for all his madness, was fluent in dutch, french, german and english. in addition to vincent's letters, the van gogh museum in amsterdam gave the authors access to a trove of family correspondence never before published-- anguished letters about vincent, the stranger in their midst. >> naifeh: some people will be surprised at just how alienated he was from his family. and even theo kept a certain distance from him. >> safer: it fell on theo van gogh, who looked remarkably like his older brother, to support vincent financially, to be the peacemaker when the grown child, at odds with a hostile world, kept turning up on the family doorstep. vincent first took up painting at theo's suggestion, but concentrated on bleak, chilly scenes-- winter at the family parsonage. haggard peasants in abject poverty. >> smith: vincent used to literally bring the paintings into the family dining room and set them in a chair so that the

." >> when i realized how big it was, it scared the dickens out of me.hillbilly hot dog is what that was. some major news from the world of literature. former governor arnold schwarzenegger is planning to write the story of his life. a memoir will come out next year. this time, arnold faces his toughest opponent yet, the english language. the autobiography is tentatively titled -- it's really called kwsh "total recall: my unbelievable true life story." it will be the most entertaining audio book ever. [ laughter ] in fact, we somehow managed to get our hands on an advanced copy of the audio book. and to save you the 22 bucks it will cost you to buy it, we whittled it down. here's a condensed version of the arnold book from beginning to end. >> i was a body builder. i was the champion. then i made movies. it was fun. then i was the governor. that was fun, too. then i had sex with the housekeeper. she had a baby. oops. i have muscles. the end. i'll be back. bennett! >> jimmy: doubles as a shake weight too.

when charles dickens wrote of a moment of history being the best of times and the worst of times he was making a point that the world is not simple. there has never been a time regarding the u.s./is really a relationship when all the major features of that relationship were positive for negative. it has often been the case that the net was fairly clear. the relationship in the eisenhower years was not very substantial and was not warm. in contrast in the george w. bush years the relationship was multifaceted with a lot of private sector ties and in general was extraordinarily friendly but there were problems. now the picture is unusually mixed. consider the following points, most of which have been touched on by the various panels today. the relationship between the obama administration and israel has not been friendly. the obama administration came into office apparently with the intent to downgrade the u.s. relationship with israel and intensify issues to push concessions to resolve the arab/israeli conflict. the administration became known for a visible and unprecedented snow of the

republicans to transport our country's environmental and public health standards back to the era of charles dickens, we should hold these industries to greater expectations. . in december of 2008, hundreds of acres of lands was buried in a toxic they released hundreds of felons of coal ash slurry covering it in a muck, damaging homes and property. the event was literally a poisonous lurp of coal dumped on the nearby community just three days before christmas. this republican bill purports to be a solution to what happened in tennessee. it claims to create standard for coal ash containment ponds that would ensure structural integrity but in fact it explicitly exempts those same coal ash ponds from key design requirements relating to their long-term stability. this bill claims that states have to set up a rigorous drinking water monitor regular jet stream and dust controls, but in fact, the bill has no legal or enforceable standard for the state programs and even more, any state at any time can waive any of these minimal permitting requirements and don't have to tell anyone. that's right, when it com
