the man doing the punching, 30-year-old gunnery sergeant john adam kanosh, emember, checked himself into a er this incident, but the cab driver, charles, is just now able to talk because of his injuries. he spoke to wect about this incident. >> i don't have any feeling in this lip what so ever. i won't know if i have any feeling in my cheek until the swelling goes down because of the pressure there. that's all i can feel. the surgeon told me that if i do regain feeling in my face, it could take up to 18 months. >> describe what's it's like to see this video and after his beating says he remembers every punch. he remembers seeing the punches coming. >> i thought about unbuckling my seat belt but that would have meant taking one of my arms down and i just couldn't sacrifice that at the moment. sometimes in my sleep i recall it in my dreams. >> the guy is facing felony charges, because of the severity of the injuries received by the cabbie. he could have killed this guy, easily. issue an apology. come out, say your sorry. i understand you're sick and maybe had to go to a psychiatric ward, b

and one of our founding fathers, president john adams of massachusetts once said that facts are stubborn things. but last week as they nominated a very different man from massachusetts, republicans stubbornly smeared president obama's excellent record of reforming welfare. they went on and on pretending that our president weakened its work requirement. now everyone knows that that is a ridiculous charge even the republican author of welfare reform says romney is wrong. fact checkers have called this republican talking point blatantly false, a drastic distortion, wildly debunked and a mind-bonging act of untruth telling. now, in illinois we know president barack obama. (cheers and applause) we know president obama has always made sure has spearheaded welfare reform under in the land of lincoln and under president obama states can only get flexibility if they move 20% more people to work. let me repeat that for our republican friends. more people working! not less! ha (cheers and applause) then there's medicare. mitt romney and congressman ryan want to take away the promise that makes medi

efforts to speak truth to power they've been censored smeared even murdered this is nothing new john adams the second president outed states shamefully shut down opposition newspapers and jailed their editors in the biggest event of his presidency the passage of the alien sedition laws but even back in seventeen ninety eight vice president thomas jefferson protested by leaving town the day adam signed the law and then ran against and beat adams two years later in the election of one thousand nine hundred largely on the issue of adams having shut down the press historically our press has largely been notepad and tape recorders as you being used as david sling shots going up against the goal liath army of the state. but in the age of wiki leaks and the internet journalists are on even more ground and the powers that be are scared to death and no matter what happens to join us on your wiki leaks this sort of internet journalism is here to stay and that's the way it is that i thursday september twenty seventh two thousand and twelve don't forget tag your it. world with. its technology innovati

it's a long-winded way of saying exactly the same thing john adams said. and so the question for us as nation what are we going do about it? are we going cheat history and play the political game? are we going think short term or actually going make the different choices that will set our country back on the feet and create the opportunities and freedom and potential that was given to us? and before you get too depressed, question don't have a problem in front of us that isn't solvable. that's not the thing that everybody is focusing on. next week we'll release $70 billion worth of savings from the pentagon that have nothing -- come out of the pentagon that have do with defending this country. think about that for a minute. i can find $70 billion in the pentd gone that has nothing do with defending the country that can taken out of the pentagon and you won't see ship less, one airplane less, fliers hours, you won't see anything reduced. i can find $70 billion. and if somebody looks they find another $50 billion. the point is that our problems are made more

my chapter two you'll find that george washington the father of our country thomas jefferson and john adams all agree with me that party should not take over governments and apparently we're not listening to him because we have the two party dictatorship here that completely is taking control of our government and in this upcoming election i got news for you it doesn't matter who gets elected you are still going to have the same government going forward as you have right now and fact i think in your book you wrote that if a third party was to come into power it would have to require a lot of money and that you would see not a two two headed monster but a three headed monster but back in two thousand and eight we saw the party movement really gave the third party movement party with an excuse they really gained steam they of course had powerful financial backers you had said in your book that you think it was coauthored by billionaires now they're still going strong in the u.s. as changing political discourse because of that now that doesn't happen as much with the zero ws movement as change

bloody years, the red coats gave up and went back home on that september day in paris ben franklin, john adams john j. signed the treat underat stars and stripes first waved free 229 years ago today.

hyperbole has been part of the elections since the day of john adams and there's no one better than joeto give us a little hyperbole as we all know. i think people discount that hyperbole. we know it's hyperbole. we wake up every day trying to build businesses. it's a misnomer out there that private he can quit profits by shrinking companies. in fact, it's just the opposite. private equity creates value by growing great companies. >> so when people look at the attack ads, that you take a company, a steel company, you send the jobs overseas because that cuts the costs which it undoubtedly does, and in other cases you load it up with debt and you sell it, you don't think that's an inaccurate picture. >> that's totally inaccurate. in fact. we started a steel company in a cornfield in indiana. it's called steel dynamics. it has 6,000 employees today, one of the largest steel companies in the country. what happens in the campaigns, they need to use hyperbole to make these attacks. we have 350 investments, those companies over 28 years have grown twice as fast as the s&p 500. they've created

go back to the ugliest presidential campaign in history, you could probably go back to 1800 and john adamsand thomas jefferson and the things that were said particularly by their followers, not so much the two of them, but the followers against each other. but with president obama it's been attacks not on his policies so much as on him as a person. and we haven't seen that, i don't believe -- and i went back and did a lot of research in presidential campaigns and presidential history -- we haven't seen that directed, that severe and that ugly directed against any president, pardon me, since abraham lincoln. we think of lincoln, of course, as st. abe -- abraham. he wasn't thought of that way during his lifetime. it was only after he was assassinated. when he came to washington, he was introduced to the nation by the kentucky statesman as follows: abraham lincoln is a man above the medium height. he passes the six-foot mark by an inch or two. he is raw-boned, shamble-gaited, bow-legged, knock-kneed, pigeon-toed, slob-sighted, a shapeless skeleton in a very tough, very dirty, unwholesome skin

going back to john adams defended the british soldiers who were in the boston massacre we do have a tradition of providing representation. >> bill: that's fine. in totality, would you vote for this guy west to confirm if you were a senator? >> that's a difference. the president and the attorney general have every right to nominate anybody that they want. and the senate can accept and reject. i would actually be ambivalent about this. if that were the only charge against him, i'm not sure he has already been. >> bill: let me give to you with more. >> in the justice department for a couple of years. >> bill: let me give you two more. he represented lind. he also represented a man named mark klein who leaked stuff about the national security agency, all right? and he represented a case whereby he said and his client said defense of marriage act, signed by bill clinton was unconstitutional. there is no doubt this guy is on the real left wing spectrum in politics. do we need to have that kind of a man, number three in the justice department when there are questions already about the justice depart

that is a long winded way of saying exactly the same thing john adams said.us as a nation is, what are we going to do about it? are we going to cheat history? are we going to play the political game? are we going to think short term? are we going to make the difficult choices that will set our country back on its feet and create the opportunities and freedom and a potential that was given to us. before you get too depressed and pulled the prozac out of your purse or pocket, we do not have a problem in front of us that is not solvable. that is what nobody is focusing on. next week we will release $70 billion worth of savings from the pentagon that come out of the pentagon that have nothing to do with defending this country. think about that for a minute. i can find $70 billion in the pentagon and has nothing to do with the offending the country that can be taken out of the pentagon and you will not say one chip plus, one trooper was, when the airplane was, you will not see flying hours reduced, you will not see anything reduced. i can find $70 billion. if some

of course, his supporters were pretty tough on john adams.ly was genteel. >> i want to thank larry sabato for a great conversation. >>> number four on our first five web stories, the mother of lindsay lohan in a state of denial today. lohan's father michael is accusing dena of drinking excessively before a tv show. she looks confused but claims it's the editing that makes her look bad. droid does. and does it launch apps by voice while learning your voice ? launch cab4me. droid does. keep left at the fork. does it do turn-by-turn navigation ? droid does. with verizon, america's largest 4g lte network, and motorola, droid does. get $100 off select motorola 4g lte smartphones like the droid razr. to compete on the global stage. what we need are people prepared for the careers of our new economy. by 2025 we could have 20 million jobs without enough college graduates to fill them. that's why at devry university, we're teaming up with companies like cisco to help make sure everyone's ready with the know how we need for a new tomorrow.

now that you written about john adams, are you going to write about abigail adams? he said i already did. that is what i did with eleanor roosevelt and franklin roosevelt. the only franklin roosevelt in the title but really a dual biography about the two. the curious thing about that particular book, the best parts about the book, the parts that particularly reveal a relationship, wonderful relationship, provocative relationship between john and abigail adams they occur when they're far apart. it is a wonderful love story. it is a wonderful story of a marriage but it only works because they were apart for a very large part of the marriage. when they were together they simply spoke and what they said to each other over the dinner table at night no one knows. so that's the case where, it is true with my book. i don't make a big deal of it in the book. i have to pass over those sections where they're not writing to each other but, i can't offer a good explanation as to why some letters survived and others didn't. . . or not a story. so, where does this fit in? >> to th
