chris: does he matter politically, john stewart? >> he doesn't want to be a political player, but he does have great political power and his ratings are huge, particularly among young people, which is why he's courted, why the president of the united states goes on his show. john stewart says the stuff you say at home when you start shouting at the television like a cread person, and he says it better than anybody else and does it in a fun way. we need that voice. chris: he can say anything he wants. i do believe a lot of people get their news from him. >> sure. chris: maybe scary, maybe not, but he does have power. when we come back, republicans have to put their money and their chips on the tea plus, scoops and predictions. be right back. welcome back. here's my vision of the energy level at the tampa bay convention at the end of next summer. if romney gets the nomination, he gets up there. the best he could hope for is a polite, somewhat restrained reception that john mccain got in 2008 at that convention. that was before the tea

exactly i mean after jon stewart there used to be the show with robots fighting each other and johns would always make jokes about it so does this chris wallace think that he's not a good fighting robot because you know jon stewart is on the fighting about something but the best thing about this is they proved john stewart's point when they edited out a piece of the interview where jon stewart brought up these e-mails that bill sammon the washing d.c. editor of fox news sent to his staff directing them on how do we just climate change to cast doubt on climate change to call the public option health care debate the government option i mean this is exactly what john was saying and they edited out of the clip to present the narrative in the way they wanted to be all the more power to him this was just kind of funny the paris air show that's coming up and we know that obviously all those military contractors have to be able to try to sell their really fancy and expensive weaponry and this is how lockheed martin is trying to sell their f. thirty five is take a look i . i don't know. how to

and she went into this rambling answers of a john stewart's audience had a mob like behavior and they weren't very smart is what she said exactly so the low i.q. kids and their entire identity is i'm jon stewart's biggest fan they put on their resumes she went on to say that you think that jon stewart is funny but its audience is by and large filled with a bunch of losers hold on here and coulter who makes a living at bashing liberals and taking a page from fox news thinks that jon stewart's audience is dumb maybe what she really means is that they're young she's just bitter they don't like her tired sexpot be true team that she parades all over the conservative seat and other than her being better she's also wrong seaweeds and we did some digging today and we found a survey that looks at the public's knowledge of news events and this was done a few years ago by pew research and the results are not surprising the daily show and the colbert report scored the highest. fifty four percent of the people surveyed had a very high knowledge of news events and i feel it down the list that's ev

. >> john stewart, what is your take on that?s i am just a comedy show and it is the two masks of greek drama. if they are not altogether honest, but it is interesting -- who tried harder than anyone to matter as an anchor? katie couric. she is a joke. who makes jokes and matters as an anchor? john stewart. trying to be a comedy show is the way the news program wound up. david foster wall lis says irony is the sound of a burden that has come to love its cage. >> mmm, don't know what that means. >> will somebody raise their hand who knows what that means. >> or raise your glass. >> when it is tucker carlson whose life is getting ruined because he wears a bow tie, but when it is my buddy, it is time for somber sadness. i love "the daily show." i think stewart is gifted and he should have handled it better. >> where do you see this going? >> i think he will be eventually forced to give up his seat and it will probably be filled by ashton kutcher. >> i hope so. he is fantastic. >> you were known forgiving up your seat. what do you th

maybe john stewart had it right. we will find out. this is turned into an international whodunit. whoa it was was a prank. i am treating it like a prank and trying to get back to the work i am trying to do. >> we want to resolve it. this is your under pants? >> i appreciate you continuing to flash that at me. i said the best i can that we will try to get to the bottom of what happened here. i want to caution you and you understand this that photographs can be manipulated and taken from one place and put in another and photos can be doctored. i want to make sure we know for sure what happened here. it doesn't look familiar to me, but i don't want to say with cert tud. i didn't send any twitter picture. >> tonight the congressman said he did send the photo and more. >> i have made terrible mistakes and i hurt the people i care about the most and am deeply sorry. i have not been honest with myself, my family and my constituents and my friends and supporters and the media. >> what about his higher political aspirations. they are with us and both democratic strategists and also with us

i'm sure john stewart will have fun with that in particular.e circus, the only thing could have trumped it is if she rod had showed up many the audience and sought her moment of vindication. it's not surprising that andrew breitbart showed up and sort of tried to take the spotlight upon himself when given it be opportunity. i do think though, he had a five-minute window where he could have worn the gloss of legitimacy. he managed to shrug it off by standing up there and making it about him. when in reality this is about the career of an elected representative. >> to be fair to andrew, he was asked by the reporters stand at the microphone -- now, of course the reporter it was self-serving for them and for us. we got great video. andrew breitbart and a microphone, the media got great stuff out of this thing today. but going forward here, there's a very interesting journalistic moment here in our history. abc news went into business with andrew breitbart. one has a fair reason to assume that some money changed hands. that andrew was paid for his s

. >> john lewis and stewart were plaintiffs in the 2008 california supreme court case that ended withsex couples being allowed to marry. >> there are rights alone that come with marriage under federal law. and those rights are very, very important to people both in marriage when it's working and unfortunately if a marriage breaks up and divorces. >> reporter: mccay says she will continue to campaign for same sex marriage and will be at the marriage pavilion. but doesn't know if she'll be wearing her wedding dress. it was cute when she was 25, she told the paper. but now she's approaching 40. san francisco, don knapp, cbs 5. >>> the latest numbers show americans are still concerned about the economy. the president's message to americans. >>> they are in the middle of a very public breakup. how green peace is making trouble for barbie and ken. >>> it's a return of the summertime stratus and the effect it's going to have on your midweek forecast. ,,,,,,,,, americans are extremely concerned about th >>> polls show the majority of americans are extremely concerned about the economy and tod

john stewart had a little -- >> apparently they had been roommates in college. eye view. i think the more he is trying to say what is obvious to most people is getting him in more of a pickle than anybody could hope for. >> isn't that funny? jon stewart says that's the thing, he knows what it looks like from a bird's eye view. who pays attention -- >> men. they've seen it from every angle and can't get enough. i think you and i were saying earlier, if i had to go if a lineup of ten -- >> i wouldn't know mine. >> i wouldn't know mine. i wouldn't have any idea what's mine. >> i hat going for a bikini wax. is it good? it's fine. i don't want to ever look down there. >> i've never seen mine, as a matter of fact. >> guys are so focused. we don't get it. >> the more he tries to deny it's his, the deeper mr. weiner gets in trouble. >> i wonder if there will be an investigation into his twitter account. >> if he knows it's his, if he wants it ruled out by having it investigated. that is a criminal offense. you can't make an untrue statement to federal police. don't try

[ laughter ] okay. [ bell ringing ] i certainly hope paul revere was wearing a cup. >> stephen colbert, i don't know if that helps sarah palin's cause, but

hollywood that existed back with the reagan and some of the other, john wayne and those characters were very conservative? jimmy stewart a bomber pilot. how do? i have worked with literally thousands of shoulders i have 30,000 people they were patriotic and wanted to be down but middle how do take the military today as only 1% of the population to use them correctly which is being done. >> it would take the game changing shift to do that. put it this way. last cause they mobilized for, the same for world war ii was the obama campaign. and the military has moved away from the idea to use film as a medium. the military itself would be in default and now the military is not involved at all. we watch propaganda efforts every day. her is one thing this has shifted those that were spending on the soldiers coming back. now they are portrayed as victims of the big bad bureaucracy sending them out there to die. but if you walk into hollywood in a military uniform they are afraid of discrimination and that it is of a wedge to get the ball in the industry. >> i wonder if you would comment on higher education with the professors a

the entire comedy central network against jon stewart even though jon stewart obviously just hosts a half hour show. the pint john trying to make was chris wallace said we show the other side and c conceded that fox shows the conservative side.o make was ch we show the other side and conceded that fox shows the conservative side. but chris wallace's viewer ship is obviously fans of fox news, so i'm not sure who he needed to convince. >> chris wallace said it was probably not the best choice of phrase. but clue me in. why would wallace invite stewart on to rip fox news knowing full well that's what he was going to do? >> i think as he said thin his intro, they're a fair and balanced network and this is what a fair and balanced network does. it presents both sides to the story. but i just found the whole conversation a little bit dishonest. there was a lot of debating about ideology and there was that line about being a comedian is harder than what i do and if you were a tree, would you be mark twain. and i looked at the tape or the web video, and we should probably make clear here we're not talking about what aire

existed in hollywood back when reagan and some of the other john wayne, all those old characters were very conservative. >> yeah, jimmy stewartt's right, jimmy stewart was a bomber pilot. how do you take -- and i've worked with literally thousands of soldiers. i had 30,000 people in one of my commands. they are patriotic. they want to be down the middle. they want to be part of the band of brothers. how do you take the military today only today 1% of our population and use them correctly without using them as a sop which is being done by an awful lot of the liberals today? >> well, i mean, i think first of all it would take a game changes shift in the mentality of hollywood to do that. the last cause they mobilized for in force the same way they did for world war ii was for the obama campaign. that's how liberal they are. and i think that the military itself by the way has moved away from the -- has moved away from the idea of using film as a medium. it used to be that the military itself would be involved in doing this stuff. and now the military is not involved at all. now, the military doesn't want any part of it because t

stewart show. talking about congressman anthony weiner. joe johns has the political pop as we end out or show.s own price, wants a room tonight for 65 dollars. we don't go lower than 130. big deal, persuade him. is it wise to allow a perishable item to spoil? he asked, why leave a room empty? the additional revenue easily covers operating costs. 65 dollars is better than no dollars. okay. $65 for tonight. you can't argue with a big deal. >>> so where is about the most unlikely place in the country for a happily married power couple maintain their marriage and start a political dynasty all at once? in sin city, of course, where you would at least expect it. joe johns is here with political pop. joe, really? vegas? >> i know. who knew? it's also the home of the political power couple that actually worked. we're talking about oscar good man and his wife, now the las vegas mayor elect, carol lin goodman. that's right. she was and elected to take over the job now held by her husband. they have actually been married 49 years, call themselves the happiest couple in the universe. it's quite a love sto

brought jon stewart on and his name is all over social media after he attacked michele bachmann asking her if she considers herself a flake. joe johnshappened sunday morning and how she reacted to that. >> reporter: the twist here is that michele bachmann gets slammed all the time by the media for saying things that need to be cleaned up. but this time the shoe was on the other foot. it was the media guy who said something that needed to be cleaned up. check it out. >> are you a flake? >> well, i think that would be insulting to say something like that because i'm a serious person. >> but you understand when i say that that that's what the rap on you is. >> well, what i would say is i'm 55 years old, i've been married 33 years, i'm not only a lawyer, i have a post doctorate degree in federal tax law from william & mary. i worked in serious scholarship and work in the united states federal tax court. my husband and i raised five kids, 23 foster children. we applied ourselves to education reform. >> reporter: so, i mean, you seat problem here. bachmann does have a strong following. she is seen as a serious candidate out in iowa. so, w
