and jon stewart good gz, "what about alex trebek?" and i said, "that makes total sense to me.trebek." so i just want to say from all of us here, the clue is "stay strong, alex." and the answer in the form of a question is, "what does everyone watching want you to do?" we love you, alex. ( cheers and applause ) of course-- good man. wonderful fella. just wonderful fella. >> jon: yeah. >> stephen: of course, everybody out there is talking about the big tv broadcast about that sexual predator inthe entertainment industry. and, unfortunately, i have to narrow that down. today, i'm talking about r. kelly-- specifically, his interview with gayle king, which aired on "cbs this morning," this morning, on cbs. and if you've been living under a beautiful, comforting, noise-cancelling rock, r. kelly is accused of multiple counts of physical and sexual abuse, including holding victims, some under age, against their will. and this was a chance for kelly to try to reassure the world that he is normal. but instead, he went with not that. >> i think the point you're making is-- and correct me

in the crossfire -- >> i remember when jon stewart went on "crossfire." it was 2004.d, this is going to be a funny show. >> can i say something very quickly? why do we have to fight? the two of you, can't we just say something nice about john kerry, right now. >> i like john. i care about john kerry. >> and something about president bush. >> he'll be unemployed soon. >> anyone who enjoyed paying attention to the news and watched "the daily show" will forever remember jon stewart going on "crossfire" and reading those guys the riot act. >> you're doing theater when you should be doing debate. it's not honest. what you do is partisan hackery. and i'll tell you why i know it. >> you had john kerry on your show and you kiss his throne and you accuse us of hackery? >> the show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls. what is wrong you? >> comedians and satire when done right will take on hypocrisy no matter where it comes from. >> i think the vice president and his wife love their daughter. i think they love her very much. and you can't have anything but res

historic jon stewart played by harold and george custer played by ronald reagan. they joined forces pursued of a fanatical john brown. hisond massey traded in lincoln outfit for a john brown outfit. it also celebrates the coming together of white soldiers across sectional lines common cause. in this case it was union confederate soldiers he noted the west late in the war in order to fight some bandits. the details should not be explored to deeply. also a film about the asian. not about unifying nazis and allies it is about bringing together the different skeptical way and victor laszlo played by paul on ride, the unity that is achieved when rick discards his cynicism and understands the need to take a stand against nazi oppression. there is a suggestion of the civil war's relevance to current events. remindsnited with elsa her about the last time they saw each other in paris. >i remember every detail he says . gray.rmans wore you wore blue. the color scheme is important. it does not directly say the confederates were not for the cause of freedom. it is more subtle

but i did think you were that guy, and i happened to be at this th place and jon stewart was in front no." and he was like, "yeah, he's great." and i was like, "oh, no." "do you know who you're talking about?" >> stephen: did he correct you? >> he just looked at me like, "yeah, he's kidding. >> stephen: show-- show business. >> joking, comedy, like your grandfather. >> stephen: you're from a family of performers. by the way, how old were you when you first started performing? where do you fall in the family? >> i'm in the middle. when we were little kids we grew up in this hippie commune, and did little plays and stuff like that. >> stephen: excuse me, a hippie commune. >> yes. >> stephen: like long hair and tie dye, and free love. >> there really wasn't a lot of free love. it was a lot of married couples and kids. but it was still very hippie. when we were there, my brother started working with my grandfather's 16-millimeter camera. so my first film was "james west." and i was five or six. it was a jewelry theft kind of movie. >> stephen: who were you? >> i was the lady, the wealthy

jon stewart -- jon stewart who has traveled to washington countless times to fight for them. was just here last week. john field from my district and the feelgood foundation and so many more. including the great advocates from organized labor, especially law enforce. and first responders in new york and nationwide. from everyday men and women in our districts, to those of us on the floor, it is up to each of us to never forget who we lost those that day, those we have lost since, those who are suffering from 9/11 related illnesses, and their families. first i'd like to yield to congresswoman maloney, a fellow new yorker who has been a stalwart champion of this legislation going back to the passage of the zadroga act. i know this 9/11 first responders, those suffering 9/11 related illnesses and all those affected by this dark moment in our nation's history are grate to feel you and for your tireless work on behalf of them. with that i yield to the gentlelady from new york for five minutes. mrs. maloney: thank you to my friend and colleague for initiating this special order and

there was a program that she and jon stewart company worked on to provide furniture and other opportunitiesilies who were getting started. who had been formerly homeless. the work that she did too. not only make the housing work at that time but in the future and to incorporate it into the agreements so that families who can't afford to live on treasure island wouldn't be left out of the process is work that i've always admired about what she's done. she's now working at the u.s. attorney's office dealing with some of the most challenging of crimes and continuing to bring innovative resources and plans to the job that she does. she's one of those persons who is very creative. and she's very fun and she knows how to decorate a house or anything else for that matter she's oftentimes the person that i go to for advice and counsel on how to handle things in every single instance every single time in giving advice and talking about issues. it really comes from the heart and it comes from her love of community and it comes for her love in wanting to help and support people as a daughter of san fr

we had jon stewart on here and other survivors a week or two ago. this was biden speaking about the 9/11 responders today. >> the 9/11 victims compensation fund. why the hell are we arguing about that still? [ applause ] why is that even being argued? it must be permanently funded, period! permanently funded, period! permanently funded! why is there even a debate? we have basic, basic, basic moral obligations as americans. there's no doubt of the damage caused to these firefighters. >> harold, your response? >> well, andrea, it speaks for itself. listen, i hate to personalize this, but i've had the opportunity to attend so many memorial services with joe biden, where those who made the ultimate sacrifice, i remember the days and weeks following the attacks on 9/11, joe's deep concern and commitment at that time in the united states senate to see that we begin the process to establish a fund that would provide the benefits and the compensation that have been earned, and those that served were entitled to. i think he finds it unbelievable that we have

autobiography, you wrote this great memoir, about the experience of going to t"the daily show" when jon stewart was the host, and you were a bit nervous. >> yes. so remember, this is in the financial crises. i've never done any part of this, and yet we've got to talk to the american people about what's going on, so this is kind of the first time i've done a lot of press. now, i get invited to be on "the daily show." everybody's getting ready and they fuss with your makeup and hair and i'm sitting there thinking this is going to be really scary and hard. and i go in the little bathroom part and throw up. good response to stress, right? clean myself up, take a drink of water and head back out and do the interview. >> we're going to put in smart regulation. it's going to adapt to the fact that we have new products, and what we're going to have going forward, is we're going to have stability and some real prosperity for ordinary folks. >> i don't know what you just did there but for a second that was like financial chicken soup for me, so thank you. >> so politics did not come naturally to you and

this is a fight where we've had many champions, from jon stewart to congresswoman maloney, to congressman king, and i'm grateful to all of them. representatives nadler and zeldin and rose and fitzpatrick and cheryl and smith, thank you for coming -- sherrill and smith. thank you for coming together on this bipartisan fight. this was an attack on american soil by terrorists. thank you all, to all the families and to all of our first responders for your incredible service to our great country. i yield back. mr. zeldin: thank you to congressman gottheimer for his words and his leadership, with what is a bipartisan caucus here in the house of representatives, where people from all across the entire country come together and just -- you just want to solve problems. you want to make your time near congress worthwhile. you want to be able to go back to the voters two years later and say, this is what i did during my term, something positive, productive, constructive to show for it. the time you dedicate so much of your energy toward solving problems, building bridges, and bipartisanship, is to b

i got the daily show had an angle and that was fine and a lot of it was creative especially jon stewart'snti-bush, it was pro-obama. this is every show is anti-trump. and i'm not the only one who has noticed that. ainsley: jay leno was on another network talking about this and calling for civility. everyone knows your politics. it's so one-sided. listen. >> everything now is -- people don't like your politics, everyone has to know your politics. but when people sees as one-sided it makes it tough. so now it's all very serious. everything is just so -- i just would like to see a bit of civility come back to it, you know? the theory when we did the show was you just watch the news, we'll make fun of the news and get your mind off the news. well now people just want to be on the news all the time. >> good point. >> you just have one subject that's the same topic every night makes it very hard. all the com comics jimmy and colbert and everybody else, it's tough when that is the only topic. steve: right, here's the thing. when you take a side on television, you alienate half the country. so if

( booing ) >> jon: yeah. >> stephen: man, bill barr has been busy. ( laughter ) for those of you who haven't been following this story, let me catch you up -- i dunno.
