today, julia grant. host: serving as first lady from 1869 to 1877, julia grant relished the role. she once commented that life inside the white house was a garden spot of orchids. growing up in a slaveholding family, she ended up as wife of the commanding u.s. general during the civil war. she and ulysses s. grant shared 37 years together that included the hardships of war, the challenges of politics, and eight years in the white house. welcome to our program, "first ladies: influence and image." tonight, julia grant. let me introduce you to our guests. bill seale is a member of our series. he is a longtime white house historian and the author of "the president's house." pam sanfilippo is a historian at the ulysses s. grant national historic site. she is also working on a biography of julia grant. i want to start with you. we last left the series with the johnsons after impeachment and the politics with the radical republicans in reconstruction in the south. set the stage for us as the grants come into the white house. guest: well, grant's election started off with the campaign --

julia and her mother are very, close.xceedingly fortunate to have many letters between julia and her mother. room is one room wide because you want the breezes to go from the north to the south and from the south to the north. so they would sit in the hall quite frequently. the open doorway opened to the president. she would sit there and the president would read the and throw oint the floor. in the gray room is a table and which we are told ohn tyler served julia tyler breakfast in her bedroom after he had been around the house. after the horseback ride, he and have o the table breakfast with his wife. mother writes her and says i understand from other that you sleep until 9:00 in in the morning and that the breakfast rings you in bed. advantage not take to the gentleman who wrotes if on you. she writes about what she's doing. he records almost every occurrence of furniture in the house. alexandrars david and who were students at prince ton instance of mrs. gardiner, the buying units. they ordered from a store. hen it co

mary ordered julia to back away from her, so julia would never turn her back on the first lady, as if the first lady were a queen and julia a mere commoner. if the humiliating treatment was intended to provoke an outburst, mary lincoln failed. julia later denied she had any ill feeling about her treatment at the hands of the first lady." guest: i'm not familiar with that particular story. guest: i could've happened during the steamboat days when richmond was being defeated. there were problems there with ms. lincoln. she is very kind in her recollections of ms. lincoln, but when those recollections were dictated, it was years later. ms. lincoln's tragedy had happened, her insanity and all of that. there were problems with mrs. lincoln. mrs. lincoln was very jealous of women and lincoln. i can't think -- there is absolutely no reason for that -- but she was. [laughter] she would be very ugly to people. general love made a remark once there was a feisty horse, and he said, you need a feisty horse like that to keep up with her husband, words to that effect. mrs. lincoln said, what do you

talk to us about historical interest in julia tyler. >> well, the main problem with julia's papers is that she has penmanship only a mother could love. fortunately, my wife has become very adept at reading and going through the work, going through the papers. they're very difficult to read, which i think is part of the reason why scholars have not really exploited them for the potential that they hold. i think our work hopefully will bring more of her actual experiences to life, particularly the post- presidential years and particularly the years after her husband passed away in 1862. >> how did you get interested? >> well, i did my dissertation on john tyler's pre-presidential career and i am currently at work on a manuscript, book manuscript on john tyler and it just seem a natural fit, natural progression from there once i got into the julia gardiner tyler papers, i realized i wasn't very good at reading them because of the penmanship and my wife very courageously, i think, dove into them and is transcribe them for me so i can do my work on the writing end. >> if someone is interes

is julia a religious person? and i was wondering about her conversion to catholicism and how that influenced her later life. thank you. >> do you know? >> i think i'll leave julia to talk about it? >> was she religious? >> not really, she does join the catholic church later in life. and i'm not sure why she actually does that. but perhaps the church gains more by that than she does. because there's always been that tension between protestants and catholics in this country, even though we don't have an official religion, most people think of america as being a protestant place. but the fact that you did have a former first lady joining the catholic church in such a public way, i think, sort of elevated the status of catholicism a little bit. >> when in her life did you do this? >> this was, i think, i know it was later in life, much later, a few years before she died, i believe. >> and john tyler is not especially religious guy, even by -- even sort of by the standards of the day. leticia was a very strong episcop

julia, the -- to start with the snowden factor. for that the russians statement to say this is a situation which we did not create is, of course, a lie. they were in complete control of the outcome of what would happen to snowden the second he arrived at that airport. but the administration, are you surprised that the administration included it in their official statement about the decision? >> i want to start actually with the first part of your statement. i don't agree with you that it's a lie. i think that snowden showing up in russia whether or not the russians knew about it in advance or not, they couldn't then let him go once the bolivian plane was downed in austria. they saw that -- initially they wanted him to get out of the country. they saw very quickly that he was becoming a headache for them but once the u.s. and u.s. allies in europe downed the bolivian president's plane because they feared that snowden was on board this was really nothing that the russians could do. >> julia, hold on. you aren't seriously suggesting t

julia louis-dreyfus. nick offerman. the 7th annual belly flop competition. and music from michael kiwanuka. with cleto and the cletones. and now, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you for being here on this glorious tuesday night. it's summertime in hollywood where visitors come from all over the world to experience the glamor of homeless person in a chucky costume. begging you for a dollar on the street. you know, there's a lot of that on hollywood boulevard. we thought it would be nice to give some of our visitors a chance to cool off tonight. in the back of the theater we've set up a big swimming pool. that's it. in front of our theater out on hollywood boulevard, we set up little cousin sal. [ cheers and applause ] this is something we do every year. and our lawyers just love it. we're looking for people willing to take their clothes off, change into one of our pre-owned swim suits, and belly flop into our pool. now, sal, do you have anybody willing? standing by? >> i do. lo

getting to julia boorstin now with the 21st century fox results. over to you, julia. look at that stock. >> maria, yeah. this is the first earnings report since 21st century fox spun off from news corp. and revenue came in better than expected at $7.12 billion. expectations were $7.12 billion. now, that's up 16% from a year ago. now, earnings per share are coming in less than expected. adjusted earnings per share for fox is 31 cents for the quarter. wall street had been looking for 34 cents. so that's three cents less than expected but the company gives the comparisons to the year-ago period, up from 27 cents a year ago. this is fox's fiscal fourth quarter and the company says that the 10% increase for annual revenues nearly three-quarters of this reflect s growth at cabe network programming and television. the real growth was ad cable network programming. and we saw an improvement in filmed entertainment and also improvement in direct and broadcast satellite television. so, maria, this is the company that's free of the newspaper assets and it seems to be making progr

julia louis-dreyfus. [ cheers and applause ] >> good. how are you? >> jimmy: it's good to see you. >> congratulations. >> jimmy: thank you, i got married. weird, right? >> weird. >> jimmy: you said it wouldn't happen. >> and then it did. >> jimmy: how is the summer going? >> the summer is really good. just got back from montana. >> jimmy: that is what i want to talk to you about. >> i know you do. i went fly fishing. >> jimmy: really the only thing i care about in life. >> is that so? does your wife know this? >> jimmy: she knows. >> this is nice. is this your first time fly fishing? >> this is a little -- you laugh but this is hard work, right? that's a little white fish that i caught. that was the first thing that i caught. that's why i'm so happy. >> jimmy: that looks like a little trout. >> it's not. it's a white fish. and then that, my friend, is a rainbow trout. >> jimmy: which is getting away from you. >> it didn't. show the next one. i gotcha! >> jimmy: that's a nice trout. that's a good fish. >>

>> well, first, julia, let me say thanks for having it. what i want to make clear is time warner cable's mission is really to connect our customers with the entertainment that they absolutely love, and that's really what this is all about. we're as anxious as anyone is to restore cbs programming to our lineup and ensure that our customers have access to it. the key really is that we need to do so at a fair price and on reasonable terms for our customers, so what we've done this afternoon is offered cbs a couple of different choices to get the programming back up and available to our customers immediately. choice number one is that we have agreed to carry the programming on the economic terms that we've agreed to in our most recent round of negotiations. reluctantly i might add but in the interest of customers we're willing to do it, and on other terms that are consistent with the contracts that we had in place until last week, so we're not looking for any expansion of rights whatsoever from what we've all lived with over the last several y

julia boorstin on that story. julia. >> reporter: maria, that's right. groupon earnings coming in line with expectations, two cents per share. revenue a hair heavier, 608.7, wall street looking for 606 million. so that's just a tiny bit heavier on the revenue front. there are a couple of other key things here, maria. the company has announced a $300 million share repurchase authorization. there's also some more color here about mobile, which is obviously a huge focus with groupon as well as the other companies in the space. eric, the ceo, says we continue to gain traction in mobile with nearly 50% of our north american transactions coming from mobile in june. also adding that more than 50 million people have downloaded groupon apps worldwide. now, there are a couple of other key metrics to watch here, including active customers. so the number of active customers, as people who have purchased groupon, has grown 12% year over year, and the number of active deals increased to 54,000 on average, compared with 40,000 at the end of the first quarter. they are

julia coronado joins us now. julia, always good to see you.orning to you. >> good morning to you. >> so, look, is the economy strong enough for tapering to begin in september? >> it is all glass half full or glass half empty. gdp certainly isn't strong enough. and, in fact, when the fed meets in september, they're going to have to mark down their forecast. on the other hand, hiring has held up pretty well, at least the headline number still looks pretty decent. and that seems to be good enough for some people on the fomc, certainly richard fisher, but we haven't really heard from the core members from bernanke himself lately, from vice chair yellen, from president dudley, and they have tended to be the ones driving policy. so it is a bit hard to read the tea leaves now. if it is not september, it is probably december. but i would say the message is from economic data have been mixed. >> yeah. so go on, go out on a limb here for us, right, you got to call it, is it 50/50 or, you know, for september or what are the odds? >> i actually think they

chrystia, julia, thanks for joining us.chrystia, best of luck on your campaign. >>> up next, a tie can who was prosecuted and jailed by u.s. authorities explains why america is a great country nonetheless. , >>> you might remember the case of the press baron conrad black, who at one point owned one of the great newspaper empires of the world. but then six years ago, he faced investigations into his handling of his company and was convicted in u.s. federal court on the lesser charges of obstruction of justice and fraud. some of the major charges against him were successfully overturned on appeal, but in the end black served more than three years in american prisons. black, an amateur historian with several important biographies under his belt already, has now written a book about the country that imprisoned him called "flight of the eagle, the grand strategies that brought america from colonial dependence to world leadership." he cannot enter the united states currently so he has joined me from toronto to talk about his beni

chrystia, julia, thanks for joining us.chrystia, best of luck on your campaign. >>> up next, a tycoon who was prosecuted and jailed by u.s. authorities explains why america is a great country nonetheless. we've been bringing people together. today, we'd like people to come together on something that concerns all of us. obesity. and as the nation's leading beverage company, we can play an important role. that includes continually providing more options. giving people easy ways to help make informed choices. and offering portion controlled versions of our most popular drinks. it also means working with our industry to voluntarily change what's offered in schools. but beating obesity will take continued action by all of us, based on one simple common sense fact... all calories count. and if you eat and drink more calories than you burn off, you'll gain weight. that goes for coca-cola, and everything else with calories. finding a solution will take all of us. but at coca-cola, we know when people come together, good things happ

julia boorstin has that story. julia?r: scott, steve johns' biopic called "jobs" will open next friday from independent distributor open road films. the $8.5 million movie, following steve jobs from college dropout to entrepreneur says, quote, inspired by a true story. it was financed by entrepreneur mark hole many. now, ho home has never produced movie. he founded five star institute -- a five-star institute, which is a publishing and conference company for the mortgage industry. when jobs stepped down, home decided he wanted to tell his story and commissioned a screenplay for one of his company's writers that lured star ashton kutcher by appealing to his admiration for jobs. now, despite an a-list cast, the film's debut has received mediocre reviews prompting delays for edits and marketing. the question is whether hulmes' investment will pay off. >> if everyone owns an ipod or an ipad or apple product goes to see this movie, it will be a huge hit. but that's not necessarily going to happen. . >> reporter: but it helps t

gerri: mark, does julia have it right? does the government have to be involved? other note, in the middle of the devastation of the mortgage meltdown, fannie and freddie were representing us, right? did they help? no, they did not. we did not get a single lift from those institutions. they were part and parcel of the mortgage market falling apart. should they be a part of the market now? >> they should be. there are some things i agree with that some things i don't. maybe as a star with my disagreements. during the devil thready and fannie or that top drivers. they bought 45 percent of the sub prime private-label mortgage backed securities. when the purchases doubled, that is when the sub prime mortgage doubled. again, that drove the market. the fact that will agree in a different spin is that it if we will have a mortgage market where you don't know that you can foreclose, a tremendous amount of liability and you're expected if you are not pressured by government to make loans to less than creditworthy borrowers, of course no wonder will want to get involved unl
