an influential group of people like matthew arnold and john stewart came up with what i think remains a really intriguing idea. it's a subculture will replace structure. culture and the c. come in the plays of shakespeare, dialogues of plato and novels of jane austen. in these texts come in these works there are possibilities for replacing in a lot of the direction and updates and structure a organized religions. i think it's an intriguing idea and an idea that is totally disappeared. see you at harvard or cambridge or traverse the answer to re-sign here is they want to learn how to live and die. i want to know what's good, bad. i want to find meaning, cope with immortality. the guys would be dialing the number for insane asylum. they not ambition that were allowed to bring to bear upon secular education. i think the reason for that is an idea that basically people are, once here and it's all come here kind of together. you don't need particular help get the business of life is simple. you need to get married and have a family and find a job you love and watch her parents die and conf

for once i agreed with john stewart. he spent nine and a half minutes attacking this. i did file from vacation. here's what it is. howie, a couple of things. when you saw that thing where the person she met on the street and said -- that's so phony. it's such a lie. it's such a filthy lie. she's such hi hypocrite. cease so inauthentic. >> sarah palin. >> new york but -- no, no, no, here's why i would respectfully disagree with sharon. i don't think it was a good move. it showed how frightened they are by the move that "gma" is making on them, number one. i also think the fact that "gma" and abc said we could throw couric out here occasionally and scared them and rattled them. bringing sarah palin on that show, even if it got you a little ratings bump for the day she was on and it deflected some attention from katie couric, was another case of "today" cheapening the journalistic brand of nbc news which runs that show. sarah palin is incredibly -- if you have a new show, you don't want sarah palin on there. don't forget, this is -- let's get a new news woman on there. >>

barack obama has been on the daily show, and he gave an interview with rolling stone which he said john stewart'srilliance is amazing to me to the degree with which he was able to cut through a bunch of nonsense. the president also saying he doesn't want a lot of tv news and doesn't watch cable at all, but sde look at the major papers, wall street journal, washington post, "new york times", reads the "new york times" columnist, and andrew sullivan from the daily beast. another thing that happened this week is going to air on rock center this week is that brian williams of nbc interviewed president obama in the situation room at the white house. one-year anniversary of the successful assault on osama bin laden. does that trouble you at all? did northbound allow itself to be used by having that back drop? >> it doesn't trouble me. during the bush administration beginning sort of after 9/11 nbc did a day in the life of the white house, and these are transactions between networks and pole titicians that always happen. we have amazing visuals and in turn you give us the kind of coverage we want, and e

if you think about it john stewart is also just a guy in a row. he has a heck of a room and as a lot funnier than i am. in our world which is often remarkably stifling when it comes to thinking about writing and politics and national security state and what used to be called foreign policy but is now more accurately thought of as global military policy we definitely need some guys in the room, the rooms are very small. we need people willing to step back, ready to make their way out of the massive trees and take in the woods we have lost. united states -- "the united states of fear" is what one guy could produce in a year of reading, writing, talking and considering the american world and the absurdities in it that are accepted as ordinary reality. as those of you who read tomdispatch.com know i'm right along myself. despite what everyone thinks about brevity and attention spans and the internet. before jeremy and i talked i will read two pieces from the book both on the shorter side. the first is you will see is really my thoughts about guys in r

so that was being around hollywood glitter and such incredible actors and actresses, john wayne and jimmy stewart, he was so serene and so calm and he was just like, you know, in a wonderful life. claudette colbert, loretta young, they were all the reagans' friends, it was fascinating. >> famous story, president reagan got to turn the table on bob hope, who he once introduced, i believe, it may have been a dinner for queen elizabeth, but any event, hope was there, and president reagan introduced hope as someone who had performed for seven american presidents and entertained four. great line. >> great line. >> did the bushes have favorite entertainers? >> oh, yeah. i think, we had -- we always had an eclectic mix. i remember having lyle lovett, we had natalie cole, who was fabulous, for one of the dinners. we had opera singers, we had the boys choir of harlem, i think, for one of the ladies lunches. we always try to -- you would try to have sense who the visiting head of state, if it was the state dinner, if they had a preference, whether it was classical or temporary, and we'd try to book them. a

try to picture -- of course it would have to be jeb stewart and john mossby going up to washington on a mule, lighting the fuse and then trying to ride 50 or 60 miles in the next 10 seconds before it went off. it was highly impractical. i think lincoln defined his policy and created his own defense of -- in response to harold's question, in the first inaugural. you can have no war without being yourselves the aggressor. i confess i never realized how much eloquence there was in that speech in that line until we heard steven lang deliver it last february. it is a marvelous composition that deserves rereading. if lincoln's declared policy is not to act first, remember lincoln represents a party that itself is still something of a coalition. of old abolitionists, old whigs, the no nothings that don't agree on anything themselves except they disagree. they oppose the extension of slavery. remember, lincoln is elected with 39% of the popular vote. his own north is something of a coalition. there are large chunks of diseffected people in illinois and indiana and ohio. lincoln also believes,

so on the right, for example, people like john wayne, people like jimmy stewart, on the lecturer gregoryk and today george clooney. these people have played serious characters in the movies and for heston, he played as a, john the baptist, played presidents geniuses, so he had the sort of most other than john wayne, he was the most serious image-conscious actor at this time. but it's interesting to see a list on his as his role on the screen so what people don't remember his heston was a liberal early on. he was the first hollywood celebrity to march in a civil rights demonstration. he went to oklahoma city and made it 61 to help picket against restaurant segregation. he also led a hollywood delegation to washington in 1963 for martin luther king's march on washington and remained a liberal up until the vietnam war started to change and then in 72 he became a full-fledged conservative. >> next question comes from los angeles. >> hello, thank you for taking my call. first of all hollywood does films about 9/11. how come they don't talk about the motivation of it, which is israel and how c

john avlon is here and also alice stewart in washington. great to have you all. hn, start with you. a precedent for this. janet reno, failing to hand over campaign finance documents back in 1998, so this seems to be a bipartisan problem. >> well, it's certainly a bipartisan problem when members of the house oversight committee, a member of a different party in the white house, but that's the problem. this is an important committee and it gets diminished when the people start getting infected with that perspective free hyper partisanship. when darrell issa calls the obama administration the most corrupt in history, doesn't pass the laugh test. watergate on down. if that's his perspective on this problem, it's an indication of how out of touch he really is and there's important work to be done. throwing around threats to congress and subpoenas diminishes the important work the committee should do. >> congress has the right to do this? i didn't know this. you said there's a jail? >> there's a jail in the basement of congress. not for the members of congress, that mig

john k. jackson initially into battle, and they would contest stewart's brigade and mcarthur's force up until noon and about noon they were joined by johnston himself, who had been monitoring this activity from prentiss' captured camps. five brigades in combat against the if he had rales in this position. in early afternoon it's a lot of fighting. confederates, you can imagine, are trying to negotiate this open field and troops are making a series of rush the into the field and getting nowhere against the federal fire. the frontal action is just simply not working and stewart is holding firm and mcarthur is still able to check the confederates trying to maneuver through the woods to the east of here. by about 1:30 things have got a little static particularly here on this stretch of the battle front. in fact, his brigades is down here in the ravine that's timbered and sheltered just to our south. they have tried about three times to get across the field, got nowhere. so they're now quite positive, i think to a man that, you know, this is just not a good place to be, out in this open field. in
