eleanor is listening patiently as wives to. [laughter] as he recounted his lengthy conversation and finally it was her turn to talk. gil, this is really crazy. no one in his right mind would go into nazi germany right now. it is not safe and especially for jews. i'm not sure you could stand it 24 hours and i would be too scared to put a fly into that country. assuming the storm troopers would even let us in. now it was time for gil to listen patiently to his wife as he stepped in to use of the address he began to dress for dinner. he was not surprised by her reaction and fully aware of the risks to move ahead with the rescue plan. traveling to nazi germany was hardly an appealing thought for a jew. even traveling with the protection of the american passport and the rescue project would require him to spend several weeks or months in europe. and even if he did no way to know if there was a remote chance to succeed. but with all of that minorities felt strongly it was a risk worth taking it as he dressed for dinner he said someth

the father's last name was rigby so they made -- named their first child eleanor rigby.a beautiful relationship and eleanor is the product of that. >> how do you prepare for her role like this? >> i read some short stories in new york about men that have given me. in one recurring scene i found with women was the idea of reinvention. there is the idea of rebirth or wanting to start again. is definitely related to eleanor for me. >> it difficult and sensitive subject. >> it was fascinating because i was trying to gain weight for the role because i wanted her to be kind of a dumpy loser younger sister that still lives at home and works in a library. she was getting more depressed and wanted to look gaunt so she was like juice fasting while i was eating is much ice cream and pasta as i could. fascinating for us prepping. we were rooming together while we were shooting. >> originally, i wanted to write a love story more about relationships and the hardships that we go through and how that affects relationships. and ultimately, that can drive them apart. they're theing is onl

what do you think, eleanor? >> angela merkel is not naive about putin. they have this very ugly relationship. even the one, angela merkel is frightened. it goes back to her childhood. when vladimir putin discovered this. he made sure his aggressive dog was in meetings with her. and this got reported in the german press. she has no illusions about the kind of man he is, but she has this commercial interests and a public in the confrontation. >> jim, former executive editor of the international harold tribune argues that germany is turning against the west on russia. we decided here that that's not the case? >> in the press conference this morning, the president basically said that russia is bombarding russian media their public and the media is going into germany blaming the u.s. for basically the stabilization. and he was urging the german public to not listen to the propaganda. >> okay, what about eu, u.s. trade? >> on the obama merkel agenda this week, the t.t.i.p., the transatlantic trade and investment partnership are proposed free trade deal between

but that's eleanor cliff. >> but repeated as if it were true. that was really bizarre to me. >> to see pat buchanan's anger, he was agas gaft. easy answers, insulting answers to easy questions. when you have this pattern of timothy geithner coming out and saying what he's saying, he's a guy on president obama's team, i'll even name the guys in power who told me to shade the truth. >> every white house talk to people who go on sunday shows before they do, and try to get them to avoid things that would be potentially dangerous for them. >> there's a difference -- there's a difference from trying to get someone to not say something that isn't true and encouraging someone to say something that isn't true. >> leaving that aside, this and benghazi are two entirely different things. we know that this is a political act on behalf of the white house. there is, and we also know by the way the video did in pakistan have an impact, but not in bane benghazi. we know that to be true. there are no questions left to be answered in benghazi. let it go. except yo

>> eleanor. >> eleanor. can you dance the charleston, eleanor?leston. how about that? >> beautiful. i got this girl named daisy. if you see her come around make yourself scarce. okay? good thing about the roaring '20s you can smoke, drink and be pregnant. it's a completely fake cigarette and there's nothing in the glass. >> that was fun. >> i liked eleanor. >> she might make an appearance. >> i will miss diana and eleanor a lot. >> i will miss all of you guys. i'm so happy you have done this for me. >> come back for the next commercial break. don't turn off the tv. break. don't turn off the tv. big plans. so when i found out medicare doesn't pay all my medical expenses, i looked at my options. then i got a medicare supplement insurance plan.

an amazing statement by liberal eleanor cliff about the benghazi terror attack. >> the organization hasestigated this to death. this animates the right wing of the republican party and i would like to point out that ambassador stevens was not murdered. he died of smoke inhalation in a safe room in that cia installation -- boneheaded statement,age that gretchen carlson and bernard mcguirk. >> who newel nknew eleanor was n the game? here she is -- mclaughlin's teeth almost flew out of his mouth. it's offensive -- >> pretty offensive. >> very offensive. it would be like saying some of the 9/11 victims committed suicide by jumping out of the building. that's how offensive it is, how stupid it is -- >> i have to say two things. number one, one of our producers, ron mitchell, says ms. cliff is one of the nicest people he's ever dealt with. so this is impersonal. number two, she's elderly and i don't know if she has a full grasp anymore of what she's actually saying -- >> she got a chance to reaffirm those thoughts in another interview. she stuck with it. but there were two very wrong things i

democrat congresswoman eleanor holmes norton.ed to be testifying on the house committee on this may 8th. >> i am. because there should be no hearing on this. >> why do you think the committee has decided to even take a look at this thing? >> this committee -- and i'm on the full committee, not the subcommittee -- has looked at the conflict between local and federal laws on marijuana, and you'll note that 18 states have decriminalized marijuana. we are now simply joining them. but in none of those hearings was any local official calls. now, he's tried to call local officials, and he's going to get at least some or perhaps a police official. >> when you say he? >> that is john micah, the chair of the subcommittee. he's at odds with how the full committee has treated d.c., which is, you know, d.c. things are for d.c. he's respected home rule. john micah is now into way overreach because he's calling -- he's looking at our law, singling out our law. now, our law, as it turns out, has the layover. this is another one of the illegitima

i don't think if it was smoke inhalation. >> everyone knows that except eleanor clift. >> even everyrganization knows that. >> enough for her we are sorry she said it but she did and we have to hold her accountable. whoopi goldberg. this is off the jay-z elevator deal. i know you guys are giving me heat for doing this. this is a lot of social implications here. throw this stupid video up here. they are in the elevator now. this beyonce, there is his sister solange and there is jay-z who is getting wailed on by solange she doesn't like him that night. okay, that's enough of that all right? come back it to me now. then, whoopi goldberg says this. >> here goes the thing, if anybody hits you, you have the right -- i know that many people are raised in a very different way, but if a woman hits you, to me, you have the right to hit her back. if i slap a man, he has ever right to slap me back. >> all right, carlson? >> so the bible says an eye for an eye. >> that's the old testament, not the new. >> i know. i will say as a parent with my kids turning the corner. slap each other duke it out.

he was, as eleanor observed, a genuine renaissance man. he loved his work and his scholarship and service to the house, to this country, which he enriched so extraordinarily well. during his tenure as an officer in the house, dr. lewis combined discipline intellect with a deep interest in the house's history and patience to guide house members and staff seeking historical understanding of this institution. during the house judiciary committee impeachment hearings on president nixon, he had historical referenceses to guide the committee in its work and he honored the tradition of the office he headed, authoring history of the house library and promising ties -- and promoting ties with the senate library and the library of congress' congressional research service. as i said, mr. speaker, i knew ray lewis for much of the time i served in the house of representatives. i got to know him, his sense of humor, his sense of this institution, his sense of decency, his sense of excitement of what was going on here and around the world. and with elean

we will talk to the hometown congresswoman eleanor holmes norton about that. next. [ female announcer ] there's a gap out there. that's keeping you from the healthcare you deserve. at humana, we believe if healthcare changes, if it becomes simpler... if frustration and paperwork decrease... if grandparents get to live at home instead of in a home... the gap begins to close. so let's simplify things. let's close the gap between people and care. ♪ let's close the gap between people and care. when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five of you for $1

eleanor roosevelt gave the first broadcast from the position of the roosevelt family and in many ways the position of the national government. she had a regular radio show, and of course she had her column, "my day," and she went on national radio the night of december 7th and talked about -- it was about morale, it was about her own four sons, one who at that point was on a ship at sea. eventually, all four boys, all roosevelt boys went into war service and all served very honorably. and talked about, you know, people not being scarce. she did have one piece of misinformation which is interesting. here she is the first lady of the united states, and she said in that radio broadcast that the president was meeting at that very time when the japanese were bombing with the japanese ambassador which is not true. the japanese ambassador was meeting with kordell hall who was the secretary of state at the time. that day, that sunday, december 7th, fdr was meeting with a chinese diplomat but not a representative of japan. and so even then in the close proximity of the white house is that the

. >> we'll join eleanor clift, contributor to "the daily beast."gy. do you think that's just attack hillary until they have a candidate that they can get behind? >> well, if you look at hillary clinton's approval ratings among democrats there, soaring into the 70s, and i think among the broader public at large she does very well. she looks like a sure thing for the democratic nomination, and she looks like a good bet to be the first woman to become president. you look on the republican side and they're really in disarray, they're fighting among themselves about various issues and they're looking at various tactics to try to tarnish hillary clinton's image, and i think benghazi is certainly one of them but i think dredging up the monica lewinsky scandal is not going to go very far with the american public. >> let's talk about the latter person and then talk about the former. at this point in the 2008 cycle, hillary clinton her approval ratings were just as high, she was far and away the front-runner but republicans then, even before this "vanity fai

eleanor, were you about to say something? >> to give an example of where they could beat us, instead of an absurd proposal like lowering the minimum wage for long-term unemployed people, which is the heart of middle class, i've got a bill that says -- and they like tax credits usually, give employers $5,000 against their payroll tax if they employ a long-term unemployed person. that's far more practical and realistic. if they controlled the house and senate, they couldn't get this proposal, the one to lower minimum wage. why don't we talk about something of the kind even they have done. they have tax credits in their health care bill. let's talk about things that republicans and democrats can do together for goodness sakes. >> and rev, a perfect example -- >> that would help all americans for goodness sake. >> a perfect example is infrastructure, which creates the best-paying middle class jobs. jobs that pay $60,000, $70,000 a year. why won't they fund infrastructure program for this country? >> that's the best example. >> be

there is one applicant for just one seat and, eleanor lurie called in and said she was going to be sick and i've read her bio on this. so, is there any public -- comments? >> so, through the chair, i also do understand that dr. lurie is not able to make it here today. she ha been appointed by supervisor mark farrell. i also did get a chance to read her background information, has extensive background which i think qualifies her for this commission on aging. so, although she was not able to make it today, do appreciate her reaching out to us before hand and happy to receive public comment on it. >> very good. is there any public comment on this item? two minutes. >>> and how are you today, supervisors? my name is [speaker not understood]. i'm a member -- excuse me. i live in district 6 and i'm very active in the community and i really appreciate the applicant for getting in touch with the supervisors and letting them know that she was sick. and i would ask you to please approve her for her seat. thanks. >> any other public comments? seeing none, public comment is now closed.

welcome back, eleanor. thanks for joining us.with us because fred is not with us this week. i'm not quite sure what he's doing. he sent me a very sparsely worded e-mail yesterday saying -- he's on a path to enlightenment. [ light laughter ] i got a voicemail from him. it was very crackly. i think he is somewhere with terrible service but he says he's transitioning from fred to something better. so i don't know. it was like i said, it was terrible service. he's probably in the mountains or the desert, but i think i heard him say he can see colors. [ laughter ] anyway -- when he gets back, i can't wait to talk to him about it. yesterday on the show we had billy eichner, the very funny billy eichner. it was such a delight to have him and i gave him one of the pencils from my pencil stack here. and somebody, i gave him the st. louis cardinals -- these are football pencils. these football pencils i have and i gave him a st. louis cardinals football pencil. and a few people on twitter were like, hey, man, hate to rain on your parade. t

the other thing is it was presumed and i will add that eleanor roosevelt even before franklin spoke ofose for equality in in that talked about the right to vote one person one vote. but that moral basis of democracy she talked about it was a grand and long struggle that we were still enslaved by the failure to guarantee the rights to all american citizens. 50 years from the '60s when we believe we had transcended those forces to deny the person one-person one-vote not realizing we would return having to do something about the fact those who have a great deal of money for their freedom of speech seems to be more valued more than anyone else's from the equation of money and a speech even though they can only vote once that is why my daughter works on these issues. that is one of the many campaigns we will have to figure of how to address the back in the 19th century the argument was that people who owned more than one residents should have more than one vote or those who pay taxes or those who do not should have the right to vote. the same struggle over andover can. we fought john mccain

if i can start with you eleanor. i want to start out by to. going about this the shooting almost immediately women across the country. and this discussion began more so than anything i've seen in some our times it was very it was a very instant take your thoughts on what was it that was so resonance i think it's cumulative it came at a time when we just had had the white house report on sexual assault on campus one in five women are victims of sexual assault on campus it's it came at a time when the women's groups on campus have had it. they want something done and then i think it's it's cumulative beyond campus that women are very tired of having to worry about getting home safely at night. their lives are more complicated because of threats sometimes from intimate partner sometimes from strangers but it is so i feel that it you know once it's a tipping point jodi this hashtag went viral. and it seems kind of following a what i want to just said it seems that the phrase rape culture for example has really gotten significant in the last year o

eleanor what what what should we say to the young. what was the other thing is the young men are beginning to organize those who want to stop right i mean but i think that it's behavior has to change in that if you see something wrong step in and stop it you don't don't think this is you have everybody has a role here and i think that so it's a time for men to sort out you know so i you know my message to my fourteen year old son among many other messages is you're better than that you're a better person you know about our i mean not that he's done it i'm saying try to train him up to say you know. it's a it's both a life long conversation you have with kids and boys and girls together but also a public conversation that you know men are better than not kim gandy owners jacobs thank you for joining me to take you to see this in other conversations of the great minds go to our website at conversations of great minds dot com and that's the way it is tonight friday may thirtieth two thousand and fourteen don't forget the marker she begin

play nice on minimum wage to double at $15 an hour so workers don't have to protest like they are id eleanor. things got so bad mcdonald's had touche set down facilities that 50 protests were clergy and most of the others were also told were union members. what about the big push to doubles of wage? we have richard benjamin it as well as our fox business all stars. i think i understand what is going on. the plush is to increase the minimum wage over three years. they know they will not get $15 but they sure as hell will not settle for the $7 now. so they will leverage to make people think count your lucky stars they would give us the $10 and cents. >> i don't think that is the only logic. they want a fair wage that many cannot support so. >> not just a question of what to the page is but the disparity that is part of the conversation. 1,000 / one the ceo making 1,000 times more. neil: but these are franchise operations they're not making millions of dollars per year. they have businesses to run. what if their pay is egregious? what do they have to do due to double that wage? >> but it is the

. >> here is a quote from eleanor smeal who wasn't of the feminist association. try to think about the bigger picture, what is best for women. so the message there is individuals don't matter. only ideology does. >> they are standing behind a democratic president who stands for liberal policies and they are not going to get behind a woman versus bill clinton. but that said, i read the vanity fair article. i am wondering all of these years later now that she wants to move on with her life, why is she saying people failed her? she failed herself. she made the decision to have an affair with a a married man. she concepted to this. i don't understand why she is lashing out at anybody. still to this day, 16 years later. >> she is not blameless at all. but 16 years later she is still -- bill clinton is the grand master of the democratic party. he is a beloved elder statesman. she says she can't find a job. >> i think she is saying basically this -- we committed the same act, and he was glorified and put on a pedastool and i was shamed to the point my life was taken awa

. >> next hot story, last weekend eleanor cliff went off the rails and said ambassador stephens wasn'turdered at benghazi, that he died from smoke inhalation. >> i was taking issue with the sort of glib use of the word murderered, and i think, you know, dying of smoke inhalation in the safe room of a cia outpost has a slightly different feeling, and my point is that it was a very chaotic event, i was just trying to add a little bit of complexity, and i'm going to stick with what i said. >> we're all such simpletons because we called it murder because it's so complex when somebody dies from arson. she's an idiot. this is not news. she's been around for four decades. she's the beneficiary of liberal welfare. i have no idea why she's there. her priorities over sensitivity, you imagine if you use that same language on victims of 9/11 or waco, would you say that? >> why double down on something like this? >> it could be delusional, but she pays no consequences, right. what greg is saying there's no consequences on the left for saying something that crazy, it makes people on the left not loo

eleanor cliff said this. >> i would like to point out that ambassador stevens was not murdered he died of smoke inhalation in safe room. i think that -- >> no, i think i've heard a drastically different story from people who were also in the know about that. >> cliff went on to claim the attack was over protests about a anti muslim video. cliff is being taken to task. who does she think caused the smoke? those would be murderers. saying the ambassador of any murderrd he died of smoke inhalation, is like kennedy was killed in an automobile accident. >> from lake swims to wrestling bears. the 61-year-old led his amateur hockey team to a lopsided victory. russian tv broke into programming to report his six goals and five assists. not everyone is buying it. you'll notice it's pretty easy to score a double hat trick when you are not r defended. >> and final, one of senator chuck schumer's house mate is ratting him out. four members of congress have shared a real world style house on capitol hill and while they are away from their home districts. retiring california representative george mil

or eleanor cliff saying the benghazi victims -- think about this, if the suggested scenario is correct, the state department was lying about benghazi, for political gain, for political purposes, to give people political cover, notably the president, then this is one of the most audacious suggestions for either one of the clintons. this trumps anything that either one of the clintons have ever done. >> allen, does it surprise you at all that she has apparently hired tomming veeder, who during an interview called him dude and said how could he possibly remember anything about benghazi, that was two years ago, dude. >> that was a specific detail. tommy is a very good operative. he's worked for president obama, i know tommy, he is a good choice and hillary clinton is very smart to get ahead of this story and to know she's going to have to deal with it. so go on offense, get the point of view out there, she knows she's going to have to have a response mechanism in place, because of people like my good friend mike gallagher, who's going to be attacking no matter what. >> all right, guys, hav

i'd like to close quickly, eleanor, with one thing. was in business for more than two decades exclusively. then i've been in business very modestly by comparison the last 14 years. but the one thing i know about business is the top line and bottom line are not uniquely different. that you can increase top line, but if it doesn't flow to the bottom line it is of no value. and you can make cuts and never get to a profit. that it's a combination of the two. the post office has, at its current volume, billions of dollars of excess inefficiency that we all know can be cut. innovation, i think in the case of your product and others, innovation depends on efficient delivery. the more efficient it is, the more promising they will be for innovative products. including -- it amazes me that brown trucks go to any rural or suburban areas. i think they go there because they can't quite get as good a deal as they will be able to get from the post office if these innovations happen. so, ms. norton, i appreciate the extra time. there's nothing more im

eleanor holmes norton, she reached out to us and said she wanted to co-sponsor it. say to me they didn't think it was a good idea. this is deserving. i think people forget some of. courageous decisions harry trumman made. >> i am a huge fan of always having a president get something here because i think it's at a minimum, i can take my kid and they say, well, who is that named for? i tell them it's for this president and here's what's going on one, two and three. but do we get to the point where we overname things in washington? that is a concern among some traditionalists. what do you say to that? >> i think washington is in fact our nation's capital. i think people come here because they expect to see memorials to our history. they expect to go to memorials for our great presidents. i think they could expect to arrive at union station that has truman's name on it. i thit it's part of the appeal of wanchshington d.c. to come a see what a beautiful place it is and a beautiful station. >> quickly, i want to ask you about general shinseki, who is going to be appearing

you're obsessed with scandal, but to listen to what eleanor holmes norton said, it's a korms, they're trying to -- any problem with that language? if i were a family member of one of the fallen, the victims on that night, i wouldn't much like that cavalier language she used. >> yeah, the language choice was really unfortunate. what i would rather see both her and the, you know, nancy pelosi saying, is the truth. that this wouldn't be an issue if the white house had been honest from the beginning and released the documents earlier. you know it's a storo now because they withhealth the documents. i'm not sure it tells us much new. so the idea that lindsey graham has talked ability, that it's a smoking gun, i sort of take issue with. what is questionable is why they withheld it. they're shooting themselves in the foot on this because they're not being forthcoming. you mentioned what jay carney has been saying, to suggest this has nothing to do with benghazi, after you released it, is the height of incredulity. how could we take this seriously. >> it wasn't released because it contradicte

eleanor holmes norton. we had to file a second time.ur second lawyer was actually hired by "the new york times" women when they file their suit in 1974. we did not ask for money. we should have, but we were just wanting to get out of the category. it is unusual that i as one of the ringleaders of the suit benefited by becoming the first woman senior editor. most women on the frontlines lines of this lawsuit did not benefit. the lead plaintiff of "the new york times" who was on the foreign desk and did of becoming a travel writer. and she said to me, lynn m a we did a brave thing that we knew it would be for the next generation. in august progress has been made for women in journalism. we see them covering wars now when they were not allowed, they're covering the president when they were only covering first ladies. we see breakthroughs like jill abramson and the head of nbc news is a woman. we have seen a few cracked ceilings of the top, but certainly, not enough all sto. >> and he surely didn't think two generations later, he would stil

joining me now is congresswoman eleanor holmes-norton, democrat from washington, d.c.oined the president just a short time ago as he met with some of the relatives of the plaintiffs from the brown case. thanks for coming on the show tonight. >> this is an historic day, but isn't there still a lot of work yet to be done, congresswoman? >> there certainly is. today we celebrate at the same time we ought to plan what we're going to do to make brown live 60 years later. i was a student across town when the principal rang the bell to let us know the announcement. and he said the school where is we now sat had been declared unconstitutional by the supreme court of the united states because they were segregated. well, rernd al, they're no longer segregated by law, but they are separated and isolated and in many cases poorer than they were 60 years ago in some parts of the country. >> i have never known a time when we didn't deal with inequality. i was born and raised in the north. in fact, here's one reason why increasing segregation matters. schools end up spending $340 more

welcome back, eleanor. thanks for joining us.not with us tonight, but we are -- you know, we miss him, but we're doing great without him. we miss him. uh -- he has not been communicating very well with me this week, less and less every day. i think -- i'm like 90% sure he joined a cult. [ laughter ] i just think that's what happened. i look forward to hearing him explain it when he gets back. but, uh -- as of right now, i think he's probably in a cult. last night, we had a really fun show. author and sportswriter jonah keri was here. he wrote a great book about the montreal expos, and we had him on. it was really fun. he told a lot of great stories. and before the show, i went back and said hello and he brought me this. he brought me a montreal expos yarmulke. and he did that because he thought i was jewish. i'm not jewish. a lot of people -- not everybody thinks i'm jewish, but every single jewish person thinks that i'm jewish. [ laughter ] and it's not their fault because they think that -- they come to that conclusion because

personalized for your father, get the orders into billoreilly.com, your remarks about 73-year-old eleanormong the section's, agest and totally off. statement is beyond dull. he was murdered by terrorist. she was given the opportunity to retract, she did not. i said member her age is catching up with her. some people lose their fastball early, some late, some never. ms. clip brought the spotlight on herself. mitchell palm springs, california, clift has become more like helen thomas. she should go away. i consider myself socially liberal but michael sam and his boyfriend were too in your face for me. the problem is espn played it over and over again. bill, out of the park interview with barbara walters, i thought you were fair and honored her career appropriate. ms. o'reilly, i disagree with you, barbara walters is not just the most successful woman journalist of all time but the most successful period. edward r murrow tough to beat. history and spirit could be tough. jesus of was a real person whose actions were documented to some extend. we tell you the truth about that and back it up, th

there was eleanor roosevelt who broke precedent by calling weekly press conferences with women correspondents. she also gave lectures and radio broadcasts and wrote a frank as i understand indicated daily newspaper column, my day. here's first lady betty ford holding a letter written to her husband by a 6-year-old child asking why women couldn't be equal. she didn't hesitate to wade in issues she strongly supported. as hillary clinton was never one to shy from policy, she became chair of the president's task force on national health care reform in 1993 and was a leading and controversial advocate for expanding health coverage. issue as divisive then as it is now. >> you know, the other thing that's interesting about this health care debate, is that if congress can figure out a way to fund health care for themselves, don't you think they can figure out a way to fund health care for you and your children and every other american? >> listen to those boos. tough gig. how far is too far? how far is michelle obama going to go? joining me is karen finney, host of "disrupt" here on msnbc and robert t

joining me now is democratic congresswoman eleanor holmes norton. she's on the oversight committee and was in today's hearing. and washington post's dana bi millbank. thank you both for being here. congresswoman, a lot of ugly attacks from the right today. is this just an effort to avoid talking about their lack of any real agenda? >> yeah, reverend, you've got to fill the space with something. and i have to tell you, again baz zi has filled the face way beyond its life. benghazi is a corpse. they tried to arouse it today, and it fell right back down. this time we saw something really interesting. we've seep the visions in the republican party before, but we have never seen one chairman go after another chairman. apparently these witnesses, certainly the military witness who appeared before us, was jointly -- they were jointly investigated. and then chairman issa pulled back and decided to go on his own. understand whose jurisdiction this is. it's bud mckeon's jurisdiction. he issues a statement today saying that general lavell offered nothing new a

eleanor friedberger, you've been with us all week. thank you so much for being here.en great having you. >> thank you. [ cheers and applause ] i've had a lot of fun. thank you. >> seth: fred has been on the road this week, and i've sort of been pointing out that through some, like, pretty bad cell phone connections and some very sparsely worded e-mails, i have taken the assumption that fred had joined a cult. [ light laughter ] he contacted me last night. he wanted to clarify and by all means, i want to get this right because fred, more than anyone, believes in truth. fred explained to me that he has started a cult. [ laughter ] so i apol -- all apologies for ever having implied that he had done something as silly as join one. i went and saw a show on broadway last night because daniel radcliffe is going to be here on monday. i love daniel radcliffe. he is -- [ applause ] such a lovely guy. and he's in this incredible play called "the cripple of inishmaan." and it is -- i just highly recommend anybody in new york who wants to see a great play, it was wonderful. it's b

and joining us again, eleanor friedberger. welcome back. >> thanks, seth.eth: and you're here all week. >> all week. >> seth: it's so great to have you here all week. fred is not with us this week. [ audience boos ] i know, i think via e-mail, a very sparsely worded e-mail, he's on some sort of path to enlightenment. so i don't know. [ light laughter ] he'll fill us in on the details when he gets back. but again, it was like i said, very sparsely worded. it was only like three words but he said he's on a path to enlightenment in less than three words. so i drove to new england. today is patriot's day. yeah. [ cheers and applause ] which is a massachusetts holiday, and i grew up in new england and growing up there, i sort of knew, i was slightly aware that patriot's day was commemorating the battles of lexington and concord. but what i really knew from patriot's day was a few things happened. one, the boston red sox would play an 11:00 a.m. home game. so it was like morning baseball, which is really exciting. and that the boston marathon would be run. well,

it's a mix of -- >> first a shout-out to your lovely mother eleanor. glad to have her with us.all of us, of course, abby. as we mentioned, critical part of this trip is the pope meeting with bartholamew, the patriarch of constant noble. part of this is trying to further complete the sort of trying to have resolution after a 900 year skism between the eastern orthodox church and the western catholic church. what is the significance of this meeting and this breakdown and this resolution? >> well, that's a good question. the east and the west have been separate since 1054, and in 1964 pope paul met with bartholamew's predecessor, and it's sort of a commemoration of that too. anything that we can do to kind of bring the christian churches together is good, and they're going to try to start that process again. >> he has to go to bethlehem, which is palestinian-run. i think that's the right term to use. he will go to jerusalem, of course. you know, which is run by the state of israel. you know, in a sense anywhere you go in the holy land, you're going to be kind of stepping through a
