pinter by harold pointer? >> well, i allowed myself to become some 45-year-old teacher's pet and in my -- in my self-confidence i -- when he gave me one of the poems i said oh, harold, i think there's a typo here and he looked at me and said what? i said well it says here corrects harold, it should be connects. he said "just read it one day, you might understand!" >> rose: (laughs) i can hear him saying that it was like swimming with a tiger shark. it was his power and his possessiveness of his own poetry. he didn't -- he was grateful, i think, to me for reading it but i was an emblem of his own mortality and so our -- our relationship was both paternal, mentoring there was also something which -- >> rose: pa snernl >> well, i think he's -- as a paternalistic figure, he was an older person i think he explain to me some of the poetry as he might to a young -- >> rose: do you think you came out of this experience beater actor? >> a much better actor. pinter had been a big hero of mine in high school we studied p

harold and i are concerned.s made john boehner's job exponentially more difficult. but everybody else around the table -- and we're outnumbered, harold and i, think it's much ado about nothing. it's just an opening offer. where do you stand on it? >> i'm a little in the middle on this. i think ultimately both sides have to get to this pain point. and i think the president's a long way from there. but he may still be preparing the ground for it. i mean, you know, we can't just have a reprise of july 2011. you were saying before why is the president going up to pennsylvania? they tried the backroom route, and that didn't go so well. the president wants to try to releverage the election, whatever influence he has, and really drive this deal on taxes. i do think ultimately, you know, he comes down from that position. perhaps there's, you know, a lot more willingness to give on entitlements beyond $400 billion specified in spending cuts, and he's not doing that. and on the other side, if you're boehner and republican

harold, your reaction to what the house speaker says here? seem, if you listen to either the president or the speaker, that we're any closer to a deal. >> i was encouraged by the speaker's remarks. he didn't put his foot down and say no adamantly or irretrievably to anything. whether asked specifically if rate increases were something he could support, he suggested that there were other means and other ways to achieve new revenue. a lot of ways i thought it was a measured response and we live to fight. those of us who would like to see a deal get done we live to fight another day. i hope that the white house listened closely and perhaps are willing to counter after listening to the speaker this afternoon. >> let's look -- we're watching the market move a little bit lower here as it has in almost any time that somebody's spoken negatively about the fiscal cliff. whp do the republicans come with their own proposal, put one on the table if they don't like what the president gave them? >> i think my work here is done. if you listen to speaker boe

we've established harold. and we have not yet met susan.ion i have was, basically: whose point of view should we be looking at as the audience when we come into this scene? whose scene is it? mine. it's got to be mine. it's got to be my scene. it has to be my scene. i pop open the door. i'm screaming like a maniac. hey, i'm there talking to my plants. it's my scene. then i convince him -- i stand there till the last moment -- no, i convince him. (overlapping voices) okay, okay. now, wait a minute. whose scene? i mean, whose scene is it? (man) maybe we'll discover that. i think part of discovery is whose it going to be? but it's as much susan's because she's the one who's up on the stage. it's susan that we're coming to. it's her universe that's being invaded, first by you, but quietly. you, aggressively -- you know, lenny, aggressively. but she's also the one who's controlling the scene. oh, my god. sorry i haven't been here. time for watering. all right. howard! what the hell are you doing up here? i'm thinking? "thinking"? as far as this

harold will think. i need to get closer and closer to the herring and call to him in this way. hello mr. herring. the herring will think. that is strange, if you want to catch me, why is he getting further away. i don't understand. do you under stand? actually i'm going to be getting closer and closer to the herring and i make my voice smaller and smaller, so the herring will think i'm going away. it's very interesting and what will happen next. i sneak up just behind the herring and i say, what. what will you say? i can't hear anything. >> that's idea i make my voice smaller until i make no sound at alright. so the herring will think, he's gone. well, no fun today i guess but any way i am safe. and at that moment i capture him. what do you think of my wonderful idea. great. very good. very interesting. i'd like to see you try it. thank you and can you suggest a good place to catch and find many snow herrings. sure. into the temple. why don't you go there. thank you. i go now. going into the temple, the temple gate is closed for the night and the temple wall is too high for me

well, harold coe says, what a disgrace. how can the united states be a world leader on women's rights and not sign this treaty? well, let's take a look. what would radification mean? we don't have to guess what ratification means. the american bar association has written a book-length report, 200 pages, explaining exactly what american compliance would mean. the aba report is based on the work of the u.n. monitoring committees. they go to the countries when they ratify the treaty. so when they went to britain or australia or canada, they wrote a report. what were they telling these countries to do, how would you follow the treaty? well, the aba report opposes thousands of questions, all of them potential lawsuits. the aba claims, first of all, it's not about equality under the law, it's about de facto equality; that is, equality of result, statistical equality. the aba states gender quotas are not voluntary, it creates an obligation for a quota system. so i'm just going to run through a few of these questions from the ameri
