he'll never be jon stewart. he'll never strife to be jon stewart.eat point about mooching and entitlements. that's great but he can't deliver it from standing on an apple cart to be higher and he can't joke. >> you'll always get people who will tear someone down. the small things that happen in debates why didn't he do that? he should lose. >> cenk: but this in a debate um um, um, last one. i got to go--all right we're out of time. any way it was funny. watch it online. [laughter] thank you, guys. eleliot, what do you have for us next. >> eliot: you didn't have to cut to me? i was listening. didn't you and i say the presidential race was over last week? >> cenk: you're going to remind me of that again? >> eliot: you persuaded me that have fact. we have to eat crow. this is a new game. we'll talk about that, foreign policy this is the issue of the moment. did mitt romney say anything today or was it all sizzle, no steak. we've got stephen barton, one of the victims in the aurora shooting horror, and he'll put pressure on the presidential candidate on

have the balls to confront obama on any of these hard truths and for those of you who think that jon stewart just a comedian check this out study is a study from indiana university show that the daily show was as substantive as network news so if you're discarding john stewart's role in the media machine of news delivery think again and while comedy central's responded by saying that they are just a comedy show not a news show it doesn't detract from the fact that fifty percent of young people go to this program to get informed on the news here's the real point obama or any other politician for that matter wouldn't waste their time going on the daily show if it didn't make an impact jon stewart has a massive platform that influences millions of people and because of this he has a civic responsibility to ask the tough questions that others won't but he won't do that because his bias is blatant he has an agenda to support the establishment and in the process he perpetuates the two party paradigm and that's the problem. now if you like what you see so far go to our youtube channel youtube dot c

if you saw jon stewart and me on saturday night, you may have noticed there was a very important theme amidst all the chaos. stewart, an honest and smart liberal person. he believes the federal government should directly help americans who can't or won't help themselves. stewart supports an antistate -- nanny state where everyone is provided live necessary knits and economic outcomes are guaranteed. i disagree with that not because of the intent. the intent is noble. but simply because it's impossible. the constitution provides americans protection so they can pursue happiness. but the founding fathers did not guarantee happiness or material well-being. if you try do that, you will bankrupt the nation. and that's what's happening right now with the growing $16 trillion debt. stewart and i previewed what we'll all be voting on come november 6. do you want a nanny state or do you want a self-reliant nation? that's what's at stake in this election. now, the left wing press not going to tell you that. it portrays president obama as a moderate. the right wing media says he's a socialist, a

he has to understand that -- i understand it was in jon stewart's question, but why repeat it? a basic mistakes politicians don't use. >> to button it down, he knew he was on his way to the al smith dinner, but the fact is he better have a better presentation on this subject monday night and be the commander in chief. >> well, we saw that actually at the debate on tuesday night. that was probably maybe his best exchange. >> exactly. >> but i would say look at president obama's tone. i really think that transcript, that optimal read worse than the tone where he took optimal and said jon stewart we're going to fix that. >> serious and sober. >> than just read the pool report of that remark. >> thank you very much. mark murray starting us. chris cizilla as always. joining me senator kay bailey huchlensonp aren from texas, strong romney supporters and leader in the senate. >> thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> do you think we're making too much, that john mccain made too much of the word optimal given the fact that, you know, this is a word, we clearly know that presiden

jon stewart's question, he was playing off the optimal word.ot an optimal response clearly from the president. this whole libya situation is a big target, generated and grown over time for the president over the last month. romney had opportunities at the debate to hit it. we're republicans are jumping into the fray and heading it more firmly. it is because of the response, because of the different explanations, regardless of what happened in the debate, it is a big target for republicans to exploit and make a question of leadership. >> well, what the president said, before the optimal part, is a bigger problem, suggesting they put out all the information that they had, that it was accurate, when in fact we know they stuck to the movie story long after they knew it was an act of terrorism, and also at a time when the state department was refusing to answer questions, and only let out some information when a house committee got on their tail. so i think what he said before i guess a bigger problem than the use of the word optimal. >> i think bot
