but by concern is that he perhaps -- or other members of his administration were not on jon stuart a year ago or six months ago. clearly there's been a lot of effort from the dealt party over the last couple of weeks in terms of organizing on khrupblg r college -- college campuses. i think that it is difficult to ignite that spark, these kinds of relationship take time and trust has to be built. what i'm afraid is what we are seeing is you lost the attention of young people the last year and i'm not completely convinced that a couple of appearances on tv will engage people, those folks who haven't been engaged the year previous. host: we have a democrat from union city, california, 19 years old. caller: i want to vote for those who support education like jerry brown. i like the healthcare reform because there are those of us who are under 26 and continue to be on our parents' plan and government loans. yes, i love jon stewart and thank you for c-span. host: are you calling us through skype? caller: no. host: computer? go ahead. guest: i saw this morning the "l.a. times" had a piece a

what affect will the rally of john stuart have on washington? -- jon stewart have on washington? >> encouraging people to participate. as i said, we are in a position where more people, the more people to participate i think the better off we will be, and i think it has said something about the parties and the messages that we are hoping for a larger turnout, and they are hoping for a smaller turnout. one of the exercises of the day is that we are going to reach people. i think his rally can help in that regard. people could perhaps be of contacting friends and neighbors and urging them to come out, but that is the trade- off we will live with. >> do you think this will be helpful to your side could >> to the extent that it encourages people to come out to vote, -- of easily, do not know what they have planned. smart and clever people. if at the end of the day the notion is that it reminds people that there is an election, and, by the way, to most people in the country, that election is already beginning in some states. early voting is beginning, so people watching today, they do

. >> reporter: goolsbee speaking to stuart varney on fox business network. jon: what are republicans about the numbers? >> the same thing they've been saying for the past four-months since the stimulus bill passed which are where are the jobs and what's particularly troubling about today's report is that state and local governments cut # on thousand jobs, the president poured billions of dollars of stimulus money into state coffers to try and keep the teachers, firefighters and the police officers on the payroll. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell said in a written statement this morning, quote, the trillion dollars stimulus didn't live up to the proms made by the obama administration and democrats in congress, the massive growth of the federal government didn't result in a similar growth of jobs, and the maze of new regulationsings, health care mand it's a and taxes are having a predictable impact on the economy. the private sector actually added jobs last month but not enough to make up for the government job cuts, jon. jon: wendell goler at the white hous

jon: leeland, thank you. jenna: "happening now" the supreme court is back in session with brand new justice, elena kagan making her debut on the bench. a big week ahead. stuart taylor is joining us from the national journal. mr. taylor, what should every american know about this term of the supreme court? >> well, of course, it's the first term for elena kagan as a justice. and eventually, we'll learn a lot about her, but not right away, because she's recused from about half of the cases because of her previous work as solicitor general. i think what you'll see is the justices settling into a new pattern, they always do with a new justice. it's also the first time there has been sort of a democratic-republican split that mirrors the long standing liberal-conservative split. some used to be republican appointee, now the appointees are conservative, all of the democratic appointees are pretty liberal. in terms of case, there's 21st amendment case, free speech cases and one case involving the privacy rights of a government contractor. jenna: let me step in here, because one of the cases has certainly gotten a lot of attention from a lot of our viewers, the firs
