. >> john stewart said you have a crush on dana. john stewart told me that. i am learning a lot about you, greg, that i don't like. >> if nobody answers the question in the next minute we will do this show all over again. >> i have an anecdote. i went to the airport in amsterdam a longtime ago and i had a lot of pot with me. i got rid of it before i got on the plane. i ended up in greenland. that's the problem. >> that is the problem. >> you take wrong flights and you may hijack things. >> i had pot in my jean pocket coming back from amsterdam and i didn't realize. i didn't know it was in there. i got home and unpacked my bag and look in my pocket and i go, oh my go. yes. it went from terror to celebration that i made it. i made it back. in your face, customs. >> and thank you for arriving sober. >> thank you, greg, for always replying to my e-mails. thank you for that. >> is this going to create a group of people hanging around these boxes looking for free read? >> that would be the sensible thing to do. but why not just get on it and legalize marijuana alre

he speaks about john stewart and colbert. >> john stuart is in the herb block film and he refers to herb as a touchstone for political is satire. >> it wasn't just his political satire. his understanding of the washington political scene, woodward and bernstein said he was on top of watergate more than they were. >> handed him a cartoon to look at and it was one of footsteps going to the warehouse with names on them and it was the watergate people. bob looked at the date and he said my god, this is six days after the brai-in. herb knew. it took us a year to find out. but he said he'd known nixon from the beginning, from the helen gehagan douglas days. >> from the '50s and he didn't really like him very much, did he? >> it was about character, had he a sense. and he was a very hard-working reporter-researcher. his car too long was based on information and fact. and he was very determined to get it right. >> and he was also courageous. going back to the 1950s and mccarthyism. in fact he is the one that coined the term. >> exactly with a cartoon, after a naming wheeling, west virginia speec

that was something that one of his early law partners, john todd stewart, said that lincoln had a kind of mathematical exactness about his thinking. he wanted to get things in the smallest number of words, in the clearest way and really communicate with people. and he said to herndon, don't shoot too high with people or you'll lose them. don't shoot too high low or the lose you. you try to get exactly where people are at to persuade. the big contrast with president obama i think really lies in that president obama believes that the argument itself has its own persuasive power. sometimes that's not really the case. sometimes you really do have to, as shakespeare said, prick people so that they bleed. >> he's dealing with congress, such abulky instrument, always has been. what he seems to celebrate about lincoln is he's not as good himself of getting into that messiness and get things done. he said people fantasize what leadership is supposed to be like, what a president's supposed to be able to do. and structurally things have changed. even the ways of lyndon johnson in the 60s are real

>> john stewart had a field day. and then brent stewart explained what he meant on the o'reilly factor. >> it is a part of our contemporary life, that if you have that tough guy attitude, you take on certain interests, teachers union, especially in chris christie's case, you run the risk of being called a bully. >> however, the media loved this guy. voters loved this guy. while he was coloring inside the lines while being a bully. as soon as he colored outside the lines and started having actions that people didn't like, then all of a sudden, it became okay to bash him. >> so you don't think it's the culture, you think it's the change in the way christie is received because before when he was a tough guy in your face, get off the boardwalk, get off the beach. >> we loved him. but if you're too much of a bully, then people aren't going to like you. >> i think there's a lot of truth in what britt said, if you get past the word famiemininizes the wrong word. one other variable, i don't think it's the only variable, is t

. >> john stewart got that right. get is there are more peer review studies that show greenhouse gases. there are computer models that suggest big problems. many already turned out to be wrong. even if the models were accurate but the zell louts want us to ride a bike to work, buy a prius, pay more for these and pay much more for cars than electricity. won't make any difference. the earth won't care. america is a small part of the world. china builds a new coal plant every week. it will be years before we know whether global warming is a threat. possibly by then if we haven't crushed our economy with soup and regulation we will invent good enough technology to do something about it. we don't have in now. and the things we are doing are poujd r poumare pointless. >> act on climate change. >> these will not make any measurable difference. environmental activists say if we don't love their endless regulations with the light bulbs we don't care about the earth. we can love nature and still hate the tyranny of their ruling

. >> guest: let's just say the interviews with john stewart and charlie rose were somewhat different in nature but both were enjoyable. >> do you think the united states should adopt a policy of national service that includes the draft? >> i believe if i could wave a magic wand, what i would favor is required national service that is not limited to the military. i believe that every young person in america between certain age of 18-28-25 or whatever ought to spend a year or two or three in the military, providing national service, giving back to the country something in exchange for what they have been given. we hear so much in this country about our rights as citizens and we hear so little about our obligations as citizens so whether it is tutoring and inner-city or rural schools or working in hospitals, teach for america, the civilian conservation corps, a host of different things, for some period of time. if you volunteer for the military, we get paid significantly more than in other areas partly because of the risk and so on. where i am torn is that whether such service should be

that's a phrase that john stewart mill too took at the epigraph to his own liberty. it follows from that that institutions that constrain such human development are illegitimate unless, of course, they couldn't somehow justify themselves. you find a similar conception widely in enlightenment thought. so, for example, in adam smith -- everyone has read the opening paragraphs of "wealth of nations" where he extols the wonders of the division of labor, but not many people have gotten farther inside to read his bitter condemnation of division of labor and his insistence that in any civilized society, the government will have to intervene to prevent it because it will destroy personal integrity and essential human rights. it will turn people, he said, into creatures as stupid and ignorant as a human can be. it's not too easy to find that passage, whatever the reason may be. if you look in the standard scholarly edition, the university of chicago bicentennial edition, it's not even listed in the index. or but it's one of the most important passages in the book. looked at i

john stuart? of course the answer now has to be this stop. [laughter] >> let's just say that the interviews with jon stewart and john rose were somewhat different in nature. [laughter] but both were enjoyable. >> do you think the united states should adopt a policy of national service in the draft? >> i believe if i could wave a magic wand of what i would favor is required national service. i believe that every young person in america between the ages of 18 to 28 or 25 or whatever ought to work this than the year or two or three in the military providing national service, of giving back to the country something for what they've been given. we hear so much in this country about our rights as citizens and we hear so little about our obligations as citizens and so whether it is tutoring in inner cities or working in hospitals teach for america a new version of the civilian conservation corps, there's a host of different things young people could do for some period of time and, you know, for example if you volunteer for the military you have to commit for three years that maybe you'd get paid significantly more than the other areas probably because

john? >> reporter: so many, diane. hollywood heavyweights. not only michael bay, but people like kristen stewartpetrified to speak live in front of a group. >> fess up. how about you? fear of public speaking? >> reporter: i was painfully shy as a kid. my knees would shake, my heart would pound, i would sweat profusely, if i had to speak in front of the class. then, i joined a drama class. i got to play romeo in "romeo and juliet." maybe it was kissing juliet on stage. but something brought me out of my shell. >> you conquered stage fright in tights. okay. >> reporter: i roared. >> thanks, john. >>> and when we come back, talk about roaring. here's a riddle. what does katy perry's giant "roar" have to do with ancient china? the answer in our "instant index." ♪ i got the eye of the tiger a fighter ♪ ♪ step into the fire of the purple pill.the prf and that relief could be in your hand. for many, nexium helps relieve heartburn symptoms from acid reflux disease. find out how you can save at purplepill.com. there is risk of bone fracture and low magnesium levels. side effects may include headache, abd

john brought to social security a broad range of characters from different backgrounds. jond from london by the daily show's correspondent. >> hello jon, how are you? hello mr. stewart fine and dandy if i may say. have no fear england is here to make you feel a little better. can we have some more. it be christmas day, sir. india there's a land worth sunday sub gating. i can't meet the royal baby with peach fuz. what if he wants to touch me fez.

john boehner. we are getting your thoughts on facebook. stewart says if the economy has gotten so much better, why do unemployment benefits need an extension? >> what are your thoughts? you can write at facebook.com/c-span. post your thoughts. after the vote earlier today, we spoke to russell berman of "the hill" for what's ahead on capitol hill. >> russell berman, politics first, how did the senate manage to get the 60 votes needed to move forward with the bill? >> this was a little bit of a surprise. the democrats coming into this vote were worried they would be a vote or two short of the 60-vote threshold. ultimately six republicans, including senator rob portman of ohio, senator susan collins of maine, and four others did vote along with all the democrats who are voting to advance this. but it still has a long way to go. at least two more, probably senate votes, and some of the republicans who voted for this procedural vote said that they would need offsetting spending cuts to pay for the extension which cost up to three months about $6 billio

john clark is one of them and helen would join in 2015. the only family members that are in this rotunda and the others i've sure names you will know, charlie russell himself, grand stewart, and so the clarkes, two of them, two out of thirtysomething cell 115 come mcmath evin i can do are commemorated in the fi gallery of outstanding montana. so today the clarkes are associated in piegan history in the massacre but their names are also etched into the landscape of northern montana and if you have been to the glacier national park, you have seen mount helena which is in the upper valley or the upper reaches of the park in the valley or lake isabel which is in the southwest corner of the park and is named for helen and the younger brother said they describe the landscape of this beautiful place with which they are deeply associated. so the story at least as italic is the story for the complex landscape of race in america with the attention of what they gained and also what they lost irretrievably along the way. thanks so much. [applause] >> i would love to answer some questions. >> i have an unrelated question now. what do you think about the controversy of the washington

john pike, the new mayor of st. george and washington county. mr. stewart: i look forward to working with me to create new jobs. but i want to take a moment to specifically thank mayor dan mckarter who served st. george for more than 20 years. under his tenure, the population nearly tripled in size. they had expansion and creation of many new businesses, great new infrastructure, a beautiful new airport, and the transformation of dixie state college into a four-year university. mayor dan is a true representative of the dixie spirit. his volunteerism was shown in 2005 when they had severe flooding along the virgin river. he and other city councilmembers helped those in sandbagging the river to prevent severe damage. i'm pleased to call mayor dan a friend and pleased by his fine example and many years of service. i wish he and his family the very best in their future endeavors. with that, mr. speaker, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. . for what purpose does the gentlelady from ohio seek recognition? the gentlelady from ohio is recogni

earlier this year during that appearance stewart made a joke about wandering in the deserts in egypt. you left to program i mean some of it is what i mean john oliver is actually doing why didn't i meet you joel this no you have absolutely nothing i'm just wondering as you know my people like to wander the desert so i think. that's what i'm doing in the desert. it's been two weeks i've got thirty eight years and fifty weeks left. creative's paranoid punin said joke a reference to the jewish exodus in the bible story as part of a vast zionist conspiracy that wants to claim egypt as part of its own land. or has it they're also blaming him for king tut's death. republicans on capitol hill say they're all about cutting the national debt and slashing the outrageous levels of government spending they preach austerity is the best way to fix america's economic woes but don't be fooled when paul ryan and company talk about slashing government spending what they're really saying is that they all want government money going to working class or poor americans instead they want that money go into all. all of their millionaire and billionaire buddies who
