some people gave shout outs to john oliver.s woman predicted a very dire future if this proposal goes forward. she said "you are obliged to uphold free access. failure to do so can lead us to a future depicted in science fiction, where mega courts hold all the power, government by the people is an outdated model and all restaurants are talk about." others like this one got personal, saying -- some threatening words. said this was a civil rights issue. one company threatened to move to canada. this has people fired up. what happens next? >> public comment ends at the fcc, but then allows reply comments. people can replied to the comments posted, and i goes until september 10. -- that goes until september 10. so this will go on for more time and there will be lots more interesting comments, i am sure. >> and you will bring them to us. there is further escalation of the conflict in the ukraine in the middle east. what does this say about investors moods? the bond markets. how have they been reacting to the report yesterday of the

and as john oliver pointed out, 97-3. 90% of climate scientists agree, and 3% don't. why is the 3% getting so much time? the problem is it's a dangerous intersection between false equivalency and liberal media bias. >> right. >> science has been adopted as a political issue. republican party decided this scientific question is partisan so reporters deal with it. >> i would contend, though, things have gotten much better in the american press on this question. you don't think so? i think in print. i feel like -- a prestige venue like "new york times" whereas five, six, seven years ago you'd see the obligatory, go find the match. they'll run stories that basically say this is the overwhelming scientific consensus. >> they will. media matters study last year when the u.n. put out its big report, we found places like "bloomberg" and i think "washington post" were still sort of doing that. >> they still were. this kind of vestigial -- >> right. so i think in general the sum of the coverage has gotten better, but at the same time the republican party has veered so far to th

rose: we'll have john oliver and on what happened and what might happen funding for charlie rose was provided by the following:

comedian john oliver ignited a with hisblic outrage commentary.are some comments they have gotten so far. one said this is a horrible joke in which everyone is screwed but the internet provider. another 1 -- you are certainly seeing fiery comments. out of the 600,000 plus, no sign of google. it is a shame people are not holding back. what does it say about google's stride dg? >> we are certainly seeing a passionate approach. it signed out with 140 companies, calling the proposal a great threat to the internet. i was before the fcc voted to keep the process moving forward. google's spokesman is not commenting the on that letter. a group letter. they may still back the idea of net neutrality without wanting to be the face of net neutrality. the impact of the proposal warrant that it will be difficult to start up. $60 billion in revenue last year, not as much a financial incentive to necessarily be out front of the fight. >> is this unusual for the company? >> it is. a leader onhas been this in the past. they are not doing that so much. 2006-2000 10,

it and get aight nomination, with john oliver. me old comedy central pair, -- >> they won the last 11. stephen colbert one it the last time and john stuart run -- one it for 10. jay leno did not get a nomination. they picked "the tonight show" with jimmy fallon. leno hasn't won since 95 cities going out without even a nomination. >> his show is not very good. although i love leno's garage on >> i think hboop with "game of thrones" is the lock. >> they have 99 nominations. cbs, the most nominations of any of the big four broadcast networks was only at 47. fox only had 18, less than what netflix had at 31. it is tremendous to see a the balance of power of programming has evolved. >> hbo has must see tv. you have to watch it. you and i were talking about watercooler talk -- those are the watercooler shows of our day. >> they have a competitive advantage. they don't have to worry about advertisers or sensors, so it's not a level playing field. >> but you have to pay to get them. the academyrue, but doesn't matter about that. what matte

john oliver ran with it. it is drawing so much commentary. what is your take on the proposed rules?ig believer in free market principles. if you look at the internet infrastructure, someone has to make a large capital decision. think the free market should help pay for it. >> the concern is that startup companies will not have access to that when someone decides they could charge the providers. >> that story is being speculated. >> that is happening in the case of netflix. it is actually happening. >> i don't consider netflix a startup. >> that is the point. a startup cannot compete with netflix even if they had better service. >> i don't think anyone should decide netflix will be penalized by a startup or the startup will not have an opportunity. if i was netflix, i would be worried that had to pay for all of this capacity. at the start of has a better way. it might come up with something more animated that doesn't require as much bandwidth, including new service. >> we can only hope. i should point out netflix is opposed to the very rule is they would be forced to pay for it and t

last week 23 weeks in a row, trended on twitter, also john oliver picked it up.t tomorrow, 28 days left that the house and senate are in session together between now and the 2014 elections. 28 days. yet these guys make $174,000 plus millions a dollars each in bonuses not bonuses but benefits and perks. >> is it my turn? i got to go some place fast. this is a great announcement to make on the fourth of july. god bless you, son. the leader of the mississippi college republicans resigned to become a democrat. smart move on his part. he didn't want his party to go the tea and that's exactly right. congratulations. we welcome you to our party. >> gosh. >> all right. >> at least we didn't have any partisanship here. that's it for us. ha of the brave ♪ >>> welcome to "hannity." here we are in west monroe, louisiana. he see duck commander. it's the number one hit cable show in the entire country. 15 million viewers on any given week and we're going to check in with the robertson family. today we check in with willy and maybe even uncle sy and maybe we'll play basketball,

that inspired john oliver who are introduced us to new friends in the segment about prison reform last night. >> i'll be looking at the prison conditions in america and the whole system is so broken. >> my daddy is in jail for a low level drug offense. >> that's what i'm talking about, tim my. that's crazy. >> my daddy is in jail because he killed four people. >> yeah, well, okay. he's actually a dangerous individual who needs to be in jail. so that's really not the same thing. >> my daddy is in jail and people pay money to see him. >> that's a zoo. it's different. ♪ it's a fact that needs to be spoken ♪ ♪ america's prisons are are broken ♪ ♪ america's broken prison system is brought to you by decades of neglect. >> a lack of political courage. >> and the geo group. >> and viewers like you. >> up next, remember how republicans used to charge democrats with blaming america first? we'll look at who's doing it now. this is "hardball," the place for politics. when you run a business, you can't settle for slow. that's why i always choose the fastest intern. the fastest printer. the fastest

john oliver weighed in on that dilemma last night. >> there are a thousand distinct units in syria. some of them are horrifying. if we are going to recruit the right ones, we have to do this properly. >> are you interested in toppling your government? are you not a terrorist? do you promise you're not a terrorist? because you have to say if you are. then you might qualify to be an appropriately vetted element of of the armed opposition. come be part of an exciting and fast-paced work environment. you will be provided benefits that could include standard issue m-16s, m 249 light machine guns, the hypothetical chance of a stable democratic state in syria. sign up now. your future as an appropriately vetted element starts today. please don't be a terrorist. please don't be a terrorist. please don't be a terrorist. >> finally, louisiana representative vance mcallister, ak a the kissing congressman announced he's reversed his decision not to run and will stick it out for re-election despite the odds. he first wowed fellow conservatives in january when he brought his buddy willie robertso

once john oliver caught that he was going to pounce. and he did. >> my favorite part of it other than absolutely everything is mr. kumar who is absolutely loving the whole thing. he's leaning back in his chair going, oh, this guy is awesome. please, nobody tell him. i've got ten buck which is says he's about to compliment me for my role in "slumdog millionaire." clawson later apologized in a statement he made in usa today saying, i made a mistake in speaking before being fully briefed. i apologize. i'm a quick stud, but in this case i shot an air ball. i believe that's a good save. last week we told you darth vader had a higher approval rating than all of the current potential 2016 presidential rates. hillary clinton showed her savvy on why she lost to the villain. >> one final question. what do you make of the fact that darth vader is polling ahead of every potential presidential candidate? what's the deeper meaning? >> i think the deeper meaning is people love fantasies. sometimes when we are so frustrated with the gridlock in washing

tonight -- john oliver, natasha lyonne,

business of informing the public, don't have climate deniers on who purposely misinform, and as john oliverake 90% of most climate scientists agree and 3% don't why is the three percent getting so much time. it's aiding our intersection between false equivalency and liberal media bias, because science has been adopted as a political issue. the republican party decided this scientific question is partisan so reporters deal with it. >> i contend things have gotten better in the american press on this question. i think in print. i feel like sort of a prestigious venue like "the new york times" and five years ago you would see this obligatory, go find the quote from the denier. they basically dispose of that now. they'll run stories that say this is overwhelming scientific consensus. >> they will. when the u.n. put out a big report we found places like bloomberg and "washington post" were still sort of doing that, and -- >> they still were. >> not in a 50-50 way so the coverage has gotten better but at the same time the republican party has veered so far to the right and embraced this so emphat

comedian john oliver generated public outrage, arguing that the proposal is bad for internet users, ande of the comments after the segment. -- this is a horrible joke in which everyone is screwed but the internet providers. another 1 -- "i didn't know how you can attend what you are doing is not demonstrably evil." and public comments outrage, but out of the 600,000 comments, nothing from google. >> what does this say about google's strategy? >> well, it is certainly a shift from what we have seen. it might not be a shift in their position, but it is definitely more passive approach. in terms of position, google did sign on to a may 7 letter with about 140 companies, and called the proposal a great threat to the internet, but that was before the vote. google's spokesman is not commenting be on the letter, and again commit was a group letter. they might still back then neutrality as an idea without necessarily wanting to be the big or break face -- net neutrality without necessarily being the big corporate face of it. when you talk about the biggest search provider with $60 billion asrev

who -- what is john oliver? is he a comedian? a news guy? i mean, what is stephen colbert? divide this simply into news and entertainment. it is all one big thing that shapes the cultural discourse in this country. that's why i think diversity of ownership, diversity of opinion is so vitally important to this democracy. >> does it even get to this point? to that point? does rupert raise his offer, do you think? raising more cash today would suggest perhaps he will raise his offer. there have been other suggestions obviously he might. >> yes. i mean, i've never known money to stand in his way. so i don't think that's ever going to be the obstacle. i think the big hurdle may be regulatory and this is going to generate a firestorm of attention. it is not because rupert murdoch is politically conservative or has a controversial past, that's not the issue. it should apply to anyone when you're starting to see ownership, which based on recent market share, one company would have about 40% of the market for future films and 20% for tv production. if you narrow it into, like, broad

material for samberg val in this, andrew, it's very clear and i'm looking forward to listening to john oliver'ss as well. these people are much more worth. >> rupert murdock is one of the finest men on the planet. he agrees with everything rupert said. do you see any type of economics? you know, when people have tried, when rupert murdock tried to buy some companies in the past, i'm thinking the "wall street journal," others at least initially have almost virtually always pushed back. >> right. >> i think that i can't really speak for rupert. obviously, there are a number of things that can be conject closured from a political standpoint in terms of what people will or will not do. thinkty esend end of the day, this is about economics, scale in cable networks and this is about technology everyone ableing this industry and making assets worth more than the stockmarket afforded the value. whether this will be the transaction that's allow politically. >> we have to obviously. is it possible that three months from now, we could be talking about time warner as a stand alone company? i should say i a

>> reporter: tonight's guest, comedian john oliver, and a million viewers on bravo. >> most shows trye. >> spank me, martha, spank me. >> reporter: and that's just the way andy likes it. for five years now he's used a wild recipe of booze, games -- >> teach me your talent. >> reporter: -- gossip, housewives, and big name stars. >> snap out of it! >> reporter: to make the chaotically hilarious "what happens live" a player on late night tv. >> just like if you came to my house at 11:00, i would offer you a cocktail. i would try to play some games, and i would try to, like, pump you for all the information that i could. and basically that's what i do to my guests. we don't pre-interview our guests. there's nothing set up. the only question we ask is -- >> reporter: what's your drink. >> yes. >> reporter: i've been a guest on the show several times. >> what usually happens is you get your drink and then a producer comes in the room and says do you have any problem with being shot with a water gun on air? that happened last time. andy was an executive at bravo responsible for the successfu

i never saw a black woman and i have to say john oliver kilns, the great african-american novelist, aame to my college as a writer in residence and eyes that look at these papers and he said you are a writer, elizabeth. without that role model, without one who looked like me saying it was possible, i wouldn't have had this career. people talk about diversity as if making different colors in a room but it is not about that. it is about giving young people, older people, if you don't see some things that is possible it is hard to do it so right now i actually -- i give workshops in my room to residents there. i do it free of charge. it takes a lot of work. i am paying back early. it leads me to the other question about leadership, black leadership. could you talk a little bit about that and before you do that tell us about the business you run? >> i believe black leadership myself, i speak for myself, i have an obligation. i have an obligation as a present that grew up in a city neighborhood that has been able to accomplish something in life and be successful. i have an obligation, my o

my lawyer to this day says, you know, john, they could have prosecuted you. you had oliver case long before oliver north knew he'd need a case. that wasn't my goal. i pled, stood up, took responsibility for what i'd done and decided that was the way to deal with this issue. so i'm not frustrated with his action. i'm responsible for my own action. i was frustrated when i broke rank. i told everyone what i was going to do. i thought they would do as i had done and come forward and be honest about it. i didn't start a parade to the prosecutor's office when i went, though. >> john dean, it's very exciting and an honor to have you here with us. thank you. >> and thank you for watching us out west. >> you're part of my audience when i'm writing the book. i think, who would i like to reach? this is the age group i'd like to understand this issue. >> well, thank you so much. >> really appreciate that. up next, the fading of the american dream through the eyes can of teenagers. we're going to preview a compelling, heartbreaking new documentary hitting theaters near you. plus, ari st

john kerry. now we are hearing that israel may expand the ground operation in gaza significantly. oliverth is joining us with more on this along with russia es escalating military actions. welcome, sir. great to have you here. let me begin with your take on the cease fire. what's your view of how this is being handled? >> i don't think john kerry deserves a lot of credit for this. when you look at what's transpiring shs the israelis answered a call from the united nations to allow another humanitarian cease fire to take place. the first three cease fires, the first of which was negotiated by egypt, were violated by hamas. that's number one. number two, ensuring that the cease fire can continue is less the responsibility of the united nations than it is of israel allowing it to continue. the united nations has proven that it cannot be trusted. i u remember vividly, and you and i spoke of this, when i came back from one of my trips from israel two years ago talking about the idea that the united nations insisted as humanitarian supplies, much of which were paid for by u.s. tax dollars, tha

olive branches on so many levels? do you think that's going to result in larger crowds coming to greet him? >> yeah, you know, the world meeting of families event was started in 1994 by johnii. it meets every three years. the last time it met in milan in 2012, hundreds of thousands of people came to this event and over a million attended the pope's mass. you can expect i think similar numbers, if not even greater numbers in the states, especially this is our first pope from latin america. we have a huge hispanic population in the united states, most of whom are catholic and i'm sure many would love to hear the pope speak to them, especially in their native language. i expect huge crowds for sure. >> despite the archbishop seemingly to come back to the fold, as it were, and take back -- not take back, necessarily, but he had previously said conservatives were very concerned about francis, not him, of course, and that this particular conference is on issues that it's not the pope's bailiwick. it's on the family issues and gays and lesbian issues and gay marriage and things the pope has talked about and not made the archbishop's conference very happy with him. how do you thi
