the story of joan is fascinating. she was a village girl born in the early 1400s, a warrior in her teens and was accused of heresy and witchcraft because she would not deny her visions and voices and consequent was convicted and burned at the stake. almost 500 years later, joan was canonized by the church. shakespeare, bertolt brecht, maxwell anderson and jean anouilh all have dramatized the joan story, each reflecting a personal point of view and interest. to meet the challenge of that role required a special actress. our guest is that special acess who met the challenge, made theater history with her interpretation of joan jean anouilh's the lark and remains an outstandi ierpreter of the heroic maid of orleans, julie rris. george bernard shaw's saint joan is a glorious pl and it's one that i read when i was in high school and dearly wanted to be part of. i never have acted in the play professionally, but my high school-- my senior year in high school, i was able to play just the trial scene, which was a great thrill

joan! joan! yes, they told me you were fools and i was not to listen to your fine words nor trust to your charity. you promised me my life, but you lied! you think that life is nothing but not being stone dead? it is not the bread and water i fear. bread has no sorrow for me and water no affliction. but to shut me from the light of the sky and the sight of the fields and flowers, to chain my feet so that i can never again ride with the soldiers nor climb the hill, to make me breathe foul damp darkness, and to keep from me everything that brings me back to the love of god when your wickedness and foolishness tempt me to hate h. all this is worse than the furnace in the bible that was heated seven times. i could do without my warhorse, i could drag abo in a skirt, i could let the banners and the trumpets and the knights and the soldiers pass me and leave me behind as they leave the other women, if only i could hear the wind in the trees, the larks in the sunshine, the young lambs playing in the hea

"all the while joan's going to be talking "and i'm never going to shoot joan. "i won't have her.i'm stuck in the editing room there's nothing they can do about it." this is the antithesis of hollywood style. this is why they hate filmmakers who do these kinds of things because it hurts their ability in post-production to bring the film back to something normal. hollywood style, in many ways can be taken down to a technical level and it is in the studio's interest to have as much film in the editing room as possible. stillman: traditional hollywood saw the good side of it was fast cutting, using a lot of coverage to do exactly what you wanted and to have these range of shots so you could play it for the best way so you could go all over the shoulders in the scene. you didn't have to go master over-the-shoulder singles. you could play it any which way in the editing room and you had that freedom and you had that time. so that's the good side of potentially... but they weren't... the directors were not editing the movies so this was a studio decision. the studio decided what to make

joan claybrook? wewithout that information, just don't know.belief is the call centers general motors set up with 50 people answering the phones has probably resulted with a lot of information we don't yet know about, either. the number could be much higher. we had families come to washington for a press conference to meet the senators and representatives and with mary barra and so on. 13ould say there were almost deaths involved with just our group. and that is not all the people who have lost loved ones. we just don't know what the numbers are. >> what about the failure? go back to the beginning, as you have reconstructed it. you have been head of the major transportation agency and you have been a watchdog for so many decades. talk about what you believe happened with gm. >> in terms of what the national highway traffic safety administration does, i think they really fail -- fell down on the job. they have some concept that is inaccurate. you have to establish a trend in order to open an on the defect. that is inaccurate. for years, the agen

joan, what i liked about the president today. i thought he was good and skeptical, and he was reasonable and he wasn't bragging. certainly it was a peanut gallery, let's face it out there, cheering for him. >> right. >> employees. but what he is saying we're not out of the woods. we've got problems ahead. we've had problems. it's our fault. we screwed up the roll-out. he was very good and i thought transparent in the difficulties of changing something this big in american life. >> we've got plenty of things to fix, he said. you know, we need more people to get covered. we all know that we need a right balance of young versus old and healthy versus sick. he did not claim we were out of the woods. he said it's the first year and the first year of a program that is going to go on for a long time, i thought. but i did love his fighting spirit. i did love his challenge to help us fix it. don't keep up with this garbage about repealing it. and i think it was strong message to democrats. >> michael, you're the expert on the republican p

joan, start with you. it was pretty clear this week and this morning on some of the sunday talk shows that they are not going to let this go. they are going to go after miss lerner pretty hard. it is kind of a double. now that they've referred the case to the department of justice, they can actually plame it on eric hold per. >> right. there is an investigation. i found is to so striking that the other day they shut out the media, shut out the public. dave camp has taken to acting like darrel issa. he shut down congressman levin. there is this attempt not only to create -- or inflate this scandal but also to shut down the democrats who are asking legitimate questions but also want to get to the bottom as well. >> part of the problem with this investigation all along -- this is what congressman cummings has raised several times -- issa has selectively released pieces of information. that's kind of what the last round between the two of them was about because he had released sections of an e-mail that would

is joan -- this is good. joan girardo is that right? >> hi joan good afternoon. >> thank you for the venue i wanted to say when we talk about an average bill it's a useless tool to understand your residential customer classes because the predominant occupancy of single family resident i want to say that pennies per gallon is also kind of useless to understand in effect and i took my neighbors's household five people measured by 1 meter to parents and 3 teenage kids and i gave them 50 gallons a day per person the lowest consumption rate in the state of california which we have achieved in san francisco and in 2017 under these rates they will be paying $2,556 annually. now, commissioner ann moller caen asked a very good question -- why are we waiting 4 years to implement a uniform rate for wastewater? back in 2007 i started the fight the family tax campaign to try to get rid of tiered rates because we believed they were unfair to families and at that time we had 3 tiers for water and 3 tiers for wastewater and using a calculation of 1 per

dionne and is a lo and salon.com's joan walsh. e.j., what does this controversy reveal to the mainstream about the republican party? >> well, i think this shows that there are a significant number of republicans, including those senators you saw, who at this moment are willing to identify with what you might almost call a neo-confederate view of the federal government. he is saying the federal government doesn't exist. i don't like the word treason because people throw it around at anyone they disagree with, but i think he falls within the technical definition of that. and the notion that someone who doesn't want to pay the federal government what he owes it doesn't recognize the federal government, the notion that this person is lifted up as a patriot tells us something really terrible about how some people on the right are thinking these days. and i hope that this episode actually causes some conservatives to say hold on, we've got to stop this and stop trying to delegitimate the federal government of the united states. >> that'

joan? i guess the ends would justify the means if you were a certain kind of person, but there were no ends here. there was no gratification except for in the face of cheney who seems to enjoy this whole conversation. >> it was torture, it was illegal, and it didn't work. that's three for three. you know? he's wrong about everything. this report will eventually come out and he will -- well, he would be shamed if he were a normal person and capable of feeling shame. but this is going to be yet another black eye for his legacy. but he and his daughter are going to keep on swinging at the opponents. and, you know, they're not win, chris. i think public opinion is turning against them. but he's going to leave this earth insisting he did the right thing. >> it seems the most important message he wants to get across is to dare to speak against torture, to dare to speak against the iraq war is heretical by republicans. the way you destroy them, accuse them of being someone on the other side, in th

joining me now is salon.com's joan walsh. joan, thanks for being here. louisiana is not the only state that's refusing to expand medicaid. 24 states have. and the white house says by 2016, 5.7 million will lose out on insurance. are democrats in these other states going to follow louisiana's lead. are they going to keep pushing this issue? >> yeah, they are pushing this issue. it's been a false narrative on the affordable care act that a, democrats are running away from it and b, they really should because the politics aren't good. i think the politics are changing. and even in some red state where is you've got some, you know, maybe shaky, wobbly red state democrats who aren't sure to do with the whole lot, they're pushing medicaid expansion. mary landrieu -- >> i was going to say that. >> she's been pushing -- >> she's a democratic senator in louisiana. mary landrieu. she's pushing for the referendum on medicaid expansion. and let me quote her, since you brought it up. she says the governor has clearly put his political future ahead of the future of th

joan? >> i would like to ask to the chair -- do we still have the charter provision that required that while we depreciate our assets that money be set aside each year in anticipation to repair or replace something. >> it's a good question i'll go ahead and refer to counsel if counsel can answer it on the fly without too much trouble i'd suggest you do so otherwise she will give us a response. >> the charter provision service saying when they were amended by the voters in 2002 they called for these actions to the capital plan and in chapter 16 also requires that funds be set out for the replacement and repair of the facilities on a regular basis so none of that changed the question is how are they going to manage the money and the capital repairs not whether or not. >> well the question i have is how much money is in that set aside reserve to defray the costs, the capital costs here. we're going to depreciate assets so where's that money that was my question. >> that's an accounting questio

we have to kind of wait and see. >> joan, let me talk to you. mentioned cliven bundy's comments on race. and as much as he was dise vowed by people who had not 24 hours earlier hailed him as a patriot, that remains the question of the anti-government, anti-federalist agenda. and adam on msnbc had a really thoughtful piece and revealed an important fact that after slavery, during reconstruction, there were a lot of white farmers and white politicians who argue that former slaves shouldn't be given land because it would amount to mistaken kindness. and it would prevent slaves from learning to have its free working men. some of that language has been sanitized and sort of toned down. we're no longer referring to slaves. but the hammock of government dependency is the same argument being used in the conservative movement today. >> right, inner city culture. paul ryan's ideas about that. these are old ideas, alex. and particularly, when cliven bundy says i don't recognize that the united states government exists, he said that. you know, that's time f

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: one of the greatest. that's called "god's pocket." "god's pocket" and "mad men." there's gonna be zombies this sunday. yeah and they're wearing -- >> in short skirts. >> jimmy: in short skirts. you guys, that's what we've been wanting for a long time.
