dunham the noted artist carol dunham and photographer lori simmons says it's the mother of all misperceptione kids of famous people dialogue that is one that i really can attribute to jealousy. why else would anyone say that? why else would you be so horrified by the children of creative people continuing on to do creative endeavors unless you felt like there was something you were owed that you weren't getting that they were getting. also my parents are famous in the tiniest corner of the world which is the art world. >> reporter: didn't exactly help you? >> no. reporter: your entree into the film business >> it was not what brought me to the attention of hbo >> reporter: now it's her show getting the attention and all that the famous parents can do is sit back and watch >> do you guys feel like you have to warn your family that certain scenes are coming? those uncomfortable ones? >> i found a heads-up is a nice gesture. don't you? >> yeah. but also like sometimes it's, you know i think none of our families are particularly squeamish humans. and sometimes it's more awkward to call and say i

dunham is done hearing about your dog. the show of "girls" explains why in last week's new yorker writing, quote, just discussing your dog can be as tire so many and offensive as talking about the weather, your own dreams or the newest wrinkle in your married sex life. at least when people talk about their children there is a chance that the kid will grow up to be president. meanwhile, in other news, eva mendes, the one on the right. i'm the one on the left, tells new york mag that she wishes tabloids would blur the faces of her dog, hugo, like the british rags do with celebrity kids. quote, they will be like hi, hugo. him like, how do you know hugo's name? that's so creepy. to throw off the paparazzi she now has somebody else walk hugo. >> good to see bill maher got a p job. dana, i go to you first for no particular reason. why must your friends, family and twitter followers be kept uh bred -- uh bredth of everything they do. >> on behalf of dunham? is this the first time you have ever agreed with dunham? >> i enjoy seein

lena dunham is naked all the time. do they not have a wardrobe budget?he character. it's part of the story line. they're not objectifying women like we see on show after show. so i think it's part of the show, creative process and she should have every right to do this. >> vanessa. >> i kind of did disagree. i was really struck by what tomorr tomlin was saying. there is still an ambivalence that we have about our sexuality, our sexual freedom and how we should express it. >> she said the girls become more accessible, maybe not wisely accessible. a lot of young girls are expected to give a certain sexual act now. young, young girls, maybe 12, 13 years old. that's a right of pass panage i suppose. is that what you're getting at? >> absolutely. obviously they're making choices, creative choices. and that's their right. however, they do have to realize the influence that they have on young women who are watching the show. and -- >> i think it's clear that they're in tn not role models. the ghirl girls are presented a characters, 20 somethings fumbling throug

." >> the thing about lena dunham is she takes off her clothes, and she is not built like a model, but apparently is very proud of what she does. >> "playboy," people read it for the articles anyway. >> sometimes. >> right. >> and let's play a little bit of the show and then we will talk about it. >> i no longer can work for free. >> when you get hungry you will figure it out. >> you mean physically hungry or hungry for the job? >> keep it up. >> i am not flattered bisexual harassment. >> why not? love that stuff. >> that's why i am here to jam a specific -- >> thank you. >> it's not modeled, and this is a real woman. >> i may be the first man in the country to say two things right now. a, i watch this show. >> yeah. yeah. >> and the second thing is i actually read the articles in "playboy." i think what she has done is brilliant. as a young feminist, what she is saying here is that look, "playboy" has been a brand for so long and it is demeaning to women and as a 26-year-old i am going ahead and doing something totally different and standing out against that kind of thing and speaking

and be dominating the conversation that all generations are having. >> host: in aedition to arena dunham and facebook, who are some other mill helpal leaders, either entrepreneurs or politics or pop culture you think will be paving the way and people to watch? >> guest: in the book there are a lot of great stories of people who are doing that. and i think we may know more of the sexy examples. two great guys in ohio that i talk about in the book, a guy named mark rembert and taylor stucker and they start an organization in their town when they saw the unemployment and the economic crisis in wilmington, unemployment was as high is a 19%. and they came home were and were devastated about what the economy has done to the counsel. so they started an organization to transform the residents of the community into agents of economic change. they create -- brought young people back to be fellows and teach florists and shop owners how to use social media, how to learn new skills. they created a program to encourage residents to buy local products. and they're a great example of how young people in

we spoke last weekend with father larry dunham at washington's franciscan monastery of the holy landn america. >> this is our first sunday to gather as a catholic community to pray for our new pope, pope francis. the name he chose after st. francis of assisi certainly gladdens the hearts of all franciscans. one reason why everyone takes francis to their heart is because he is not perceived specifically as a catholic saint, he's not perceived as specifically belonging to christian people but he seems to be someone that appeals to all men and women regardless of their religious background or lack thereof. francis considers himself to be a brother to everyone. he found god's life not only in every man or women but in all creation so every living thing. and so he could preach to the birds and he could preach to the forest. he even found god in inanimate creation, the rocks and the fields, everything contained god therefore all of the environment is worthy of respect. he had his own very special vision that kind of launched him. he's praying in front of this icon, this icon cross in the c

story is capturing the attention of some separate celebrity alums, including the well-known lena dunhamit's happening in overland college in ohio. one instance allegedly included a student apparently seeing a person dressed or so they claimed in a ku klux kl klan-like robe walking near the knauss. >> and someone in what seemed to be kkk paraphernalia walking on a pathway, a pathway that leads to south campus, just like seeing that and having that this is something that's real, that actually happened. >> and it's been going on for a month and started with graffiti and swastikas on the buildings and people getting very upset. >> megyn: there is evident of that. these are some signs posted in recent days and it's no n-word we've blocked out the offensive word. on the right "whites only" and other examples that we'll she you. and police don't know if these are meant as pranks or driven by bigotry. our next guest is at oberlin a lot and another take. michelle malkin a fox news contributor and a lot of well-known people went to oberlin. lena dunham, from the hit show "girls" and an obama cand

you can't say a bad word about dunham or you get it. i don't think she is right. >> the whole article is about justin timberlake. i see justin timberlake as the anderson cooper of the music industry. anderson cooper started off cool with the black t-shirt and unaring around haiti and then he got the talk show where he is scolding well-fed pageant moms. don't get me started on the new year's eve nonsense and pretend it is okay. tom brokaw wouldn't get away with that. but he is anderson cooper and we have to love him. america loves anderson cooper. >> anderson coper is a vanderbilt. let's remember that. >> do you think jt could be talented, and if you have his number can we hang out after the show? >> it could be, but people don't think jt gets enough slack don't read my tweets. i attack them equally, beyonce, jt, i don't separate the sexes. >> you do separate the races though. >> only east asians. >> you are very specific. particularly a village in thailand. i was a prostitute. >> you didn't have to say that. it was implied. >> thank you

is published because of beth dunham who told me i should get it published. this whole thing is for fault. the most important part of all this is i learned exposure therapy works. with each story that i wrote it became progressively easier to write the words on a page and a route that time i decided it was time to go back to work with our wounded marines and i have been there ever since. it is where i belong really and i guess it is a unique opportunity to try to be one of the voices out there trying to convince people that it is okay to seek help for wounds no one can see. someone told me he feels like the country after this is in the midst of a slow-motion mass casualty. i have to say those words struck a chord with me. after being awakened many nights by pounding marines on the door waking us up, mass casualties, the words are a little different for me but it fits. in my humble opinion that is because it is based on one thing. i am hearing it over and over again from my patients, from those in audiences who ask questions in front of everybody come up later

lena dunham was offended as well. >> she shouldn't be on fended by anything. >> yeah.he internet, we saw your junk. >> stephanie: julie in see at says momma you know i have no permanent stick up my ass, but i thought it was inappropriate in that kind of venue. obviously the boob song is funny. funny any day on your show or other come immediatic venue, that's not the point. it's not supposed to be a lampoon night that demeans -- >> david [ inaudible ] has a -- >> stephanie: and billy crystal dade whole lot of borderline offensive stuff -- >> yeah it's -- >> stephanie: shoving it on [ inaudible ] tacky and sessionist -- >> oh, come on. >> now i have to go all think of the children on your ass. this includes maybe young girls aspiring to become great actresses, and this means you have to show us your [ censor bleep ] >> not necessarily. >> stephanie: everybody just calm down. tom cruise has just had siri flown to london on a private jet as you do. you were saying katie looks better than ever. >> yes. she was at a nick's game. and she looked happy. >> stephanie: that's not

was really like it makes what's his name, the ventriloquist with the dead parrot puppettism jeff dunhamr: he was awful. hal: oops, i lost you there. good one for that. i also want to go to scott. we actually have a quote to go with this one. you know, let's get him up here. here's scott in boston, mass, hey, scott. caller: hey, good morning how are you two doing this morning? jacki: good morning. caller: great job. yeah mine still burns my butt to this day, it was when, i don't remember if it was the run up to the war or after they had actually been caught in their lie that there was no w.m.d., but it was bush in the oval office looking underneath his desk and chairs saying there's no weapons of mass destruction in here. i just want to say as a dad of someone whose son did a tour of iraq against my best wishes, to have this guy joking and laughing about the fact that he sent 4,000 of our men and women to die and the hundreds of thousands who we killed in iraq, it just, oh, it makes the hair stand up on my back. hal: the amazing thing is this was not one of his regrets. he said they had

sister jones now known as doctor dunham, georgia state university, later, what, 20 years as human resources department new jersey but more importantly, she created way back the free pharmacy program. you see, we are 22 different programs that you have to remember the cooperative housing program never got beyond my architectural design. do you know what i mean? but we have a legal aid service, he we came up with a program while he was in prison. do you know what i mean? and so a. i'm just saying we had 22 of these different programs varies committee service programs right on dow down to her and her kenny use institute, et cetera and someone. these programs. rubberbanded organizers was the key, the key because what? these were real programs. it wasn't just political talk standing on the corner. they were real. they did rail service and were able to unite the people and get them to understand our black panther party newspaper it and jumped over 400,000 circulation in the country. that's pretty good at a time when jet magazine was only 800,000 at the time. see what i'm getting at? i'm just sayi
