so lou wallace takes off. he gets -- the order was never written down, so this is a big moment in the history of the civil war for the next 40 years because there is no written record of directive. but lou wallace takes off and he makes wonderus progress an he's within a few thousand yards of the right side. as we know now sherman is pushed back two miles and wallace is going to come around to the rear of the confederate army. you might think that is suicidal, but if you're wallace, you think that could save the union cause on the first day by having a movement to the rear move to the unknown of the confederates, people said that the confederates would have known or he would have been wiped out. maybe not. right when he got crossing the bridge, frantic messengers came and said, what are you doing, he said i'm going to the right to reinforce sherman, and they said sherman is all through. , they made him reverse and go all the way back, about ale roundtrip. refused to turn the army and have the rear become a fro

our guest tonight is lou dobbs from fox business news network will be joining us. i want to say something very quickly. very unusual for us to do this. there's a gentleman in the audience tonight. he has a message for his parents that i think he was afraid to deliver to them in person. he wanted me to deliver it. to sean's parents-- and i'm not going to use his last name-- he wants you, mom and dad, to know something. he's... sean is a canadian. ( applause ) do not ridicule. he's become friendly with what appears to be four other canadians. together, i believe, they think they're going to form a province. i don't know. apparently the guy wrote a master's dissertation on the daily show. he just wanted his parents to know he's not a loser. but i've got to tell you, i don't know, i don't know. ( cheers and applause ) seriously he wrote his dissertation on the daily show. my guess is they're not letting him back into canada. he's stuck here. let's begin tonight with tomorrow. the republican presidential florida primary two weeks ago the winner seemed clear. >> latest p

lou hackler is a lou heckler is a management consultant and educator. we call it "lou's been thinking." here's lou heckler. >> i've been thinking about truth. i remember when our now-adult son was very little, and he asked us, "what makes something true?" i struggled to come up with an age-appropriate answer, or any answer, and was just about ready to go to that old reliable, "maybe you should ask your mother," when he blurted out, "does somebody think something up? try it a few times? and if it works, it's true?" hmm, that sounded pretty good to me! would that it were that easy. like most of you, i hear things fairly often that i suspect aren't true, even when the person speaking expresses them with conviction. we've all read about coaches who have beefed up that resume; about bright teenagers taking tests for others; about someone running for office asserting he or she has done things they didn't do. it makes me nervous to see this slopping over into the workplace. some years ago, i read an intriguing book co-written by suspense novelist james patters

lou dobbs fears dr. seuss, next. sadly paranoia hardening of the arteries and bad breath are hardly exclusive to mr. dobbs. let's start with the bronze andy breitbart. today's sadness he lost twitter war to our own david shuster repeatedly denying the truth he and his attorneys missed the deadline in shirley sherrod's suit against him for having railroaded her out of her job at the department of agriculture: all of this brings us to our sixth slightly faster paced edition of andy breitbart's mashed up theater. >> you are animals. >> you're horrible. >> behave yourself. >> you're horrible. >> behave yourself. >> you're horrible! >> you freak. you filthy freaks. >> you're horrible. >> you filthy, filthy, filthy filthy, murdering freaks! >> my apologize to molly shannon for dragging her and her movie superstar.into this. runner up, the the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints. the mormon whistle blower helen radkey said they did another mormon baptisms. recall the mormon church apologizing to simon viesenthal for

. >> tom: lou has been thinking with author lou heckler.lou is thinking about you. >> i've been thinking about the one person. to the world you may be one person, but to one psh, you may be the world. i thought it sounded arrogant. me? to the world, one person? surely not. and then i thought about a friend who is a radiologist and i thought why he entered the meeld of medicine. >> he, and then i thought about charles barkley. remember when he said, i don't wanted to be anybody's role model. i hear what he's saying, but it's inescapeable. we look to those who have gone before us to show us a path to follow. it might be teachers, coaches, relatives. guess what? it might be you. the people who work with and for you, the customers, supplierss who call upon you, your neighbors. they're watching and trying to determine what to learn from your actions. you might say i kepted to come into contacted with that many people, but you do. and there's more than you think. in the course of a month you might touch the lives of hundreds of people. think abou

rockwell in auburn alabama to help us dissect what this means lou is the chairman of the log ludwig von mises institute and also the author of the left the right and the state. hey there are your thoughts lou about whether or not this is a case that the country is headed down into a path of fascism oh it seems to be clearly true ron is that is the truth teller as usual because we have remembered typically of fascism fascist or just epithets but if that is an actual political philosophy it's an actual economic philosophy from an economic standpoint as ron pointed out it's a combination of big corporations and big government working together against the rest of society to illegitimately profit then you have militarism belligerent nationalism demonization of the other muslims and the american kids today and the welfare state and perpetual war so is america slipping into a fascist state the movie think of fascism as just being an historical philosophy of franco and mussolini and hitler and or theon salazar and roosevelt i would add too by the way think of us think of it as being from th

and i too want to say a special word of thanks to lou erman. the generous underwriter of the series and one of the best friends american history has ever had. as some of you may know, i spent a great deal of the professional life writing about government governance. in this case, i have to say albany's loss is america's gain. it is hard to imagine anyone equaling lou's efforts to combat the scourge of historical illiteracy, a plague well captured in a recent newspaper cartoon, depicting the response of a father and his son to an ominous newspaper headline declaring studentumb on history. you have all read that story. variations. this is such a national tragedy says the father, the newspaper at hand. yeah, replies the son. like when the japanese attacked the alamo. of course, we historians are often accused of loving the past so much that we in effect live in it. when you consider the sh n -- [ laughter ] -- tmz, and any of the kardashians, i'm not sure the past is so undesirable a place to live. truth be told, we study the past at least in part

lou, you're right, if we told that joke it wouldn't matter.is in the middle of the santorum campaign right now and we're in a political campaign. if he observed any campaign in the last 30 years he knows that this kind of a comment by a supporter can get the candidate into trouble. i'm sure that wasn't his intent. he walked right into it. just like reverend wright. >> don't you think it takes a lot of hard work for all of us in the national media into what it's become. >> no hard work at all. like it or hate it, republican, or democrat, this kind of a comment reflects badly on a candidate in a campaign. >> rick santorum has a problem, he can't be the niche candidate of the far-right social conservatives. that might work in iowa, he gets support of the family leader. but his appeal right now, and the reason why you're seeing him surging in the polls, in michigan, ohio, is because he comes across as the regular guy, he can connect. he can connect to blue-collar republicans. he's not surging because he's rick santorum, social conservative, this i

and educator lou heckler. tonight, lou's been thinking about his image. >> i've been thinking about being normal. i thought about all the times in my life when i didn't feel normal: when i was overweight as a kid; when i wasn't as athletic as my friends; even when i got drafted into the army at 22. and realized i was one of the few recruits who had never before fired a weapon. at those ages it didn't occur to me that each of us was a unique character. instead i listened to that little guy inside my head saying, "blend in. be usual. do what everybody else is doing." in journalism school, i often sat next to jeff macnelly. jeff was tall and a bit gangly and seemed to spend every class doodling in his notebook. these weren't ordinary doodles. they were caricatures of the professor or slick drawings of a pretty girls a few rows away. i'm sure teachers must have told him to stop drawing and get down to doing something worthwhile. oh, and by the way that's the same jeff macnelly who before his far-too-early passing

and educator lou heckler. tonight, lou's been thinking about angels and a 2,000 mile trail. >> i've been thinking about trail angels. several of our friends have hiked the appalachian trail, that amazing 2,184 mile path from georgia to maine. and they all talk about the trail angels. it seems that people who live along the trail do things to help the hikers who make the trip. they may leave bottled water at the trails edge or tie treats on low-hanging branches so hikers can grab an apple or a cereal bar for a boost of energy. sometimes, they just sit along the trail and to encourage the hikers. it got me thinking about trail angels in my life. i've never hiked the appalachian trail, but i've had a few angels. one was miss king. she taught english to seventh and eighth graders and she loved the language. she wanted us to love it, too. we were required to memorize and recite for the class at least an eight-line poem every week. she even made us learn the lost art of diagramming sentences. at a 40th high school r

lou dobbs does a show on the fox business channel.of things to get mad about. >> "the lorax," an adaptation of the dr. seuss book. the lorax speaks for the trees and fights rampant industrialism. >> did you chop down this tree? >> what's that? i think he did it. >> huh? >> the president's liberal friends in hollywood, targeting a younger demographic, using animated movie to sell their agenda to children. >> jimmy: the president's liberal friends. this is a book written by dr. seuss in 1971. is the president he's talking about president nixon? [ laughter ] who comes out against "the lorax"? lou dobbs. that's who. i don't know. it could be his shoes were too tight. could be, his head wasn't screwed on just right. and rest assured, the lorax is just the tip of lou's iceberg. lou also will not rest until this illegal so-called explorer, is sent back to the country where she came from. [ laughter ] republican president debate number -- presidential debate number 26 was held last night in mesa, arizona. immigration was a big topic. there we

lou dobbs.have said the dumbest thing of the year about whitney houston. >> bill: back of the book segment tonight. the dumbest things of the week and here they are. arthel in her hometown of new orleans living large in the mardi gras area. and greg gutfeld. on red psi "red eye" celebratis fifth anniversary and no one watches. >> hey. >> we are beating a lot of shows. >> it is in the middle of the night. we will begin with you. we have a little people alert, everyone. courtesy of rosie o'donnell. >> i have to talk about one thing that i have been loath to admit because i'm ashamed about it but you i will say it anyway. i have a mild fear or anxiety around little people. what the problem is for me is that i think i can't put the two things together this is an adult person but it is a little person but they have adult like it is so hard for me. >> bill: i think she is saying something that i can't say on the air. and so gutfeld was that dumb. >> for little people everywhere this is the story of th

lou dobbs has been investigating. joe namath on brutality. what millions of people will watch sunday evening. we hope you stay tuned to >> bill: fridays with geraldo segment last night. mitt romney said this last night. >> i want to get people out of poverty into the middle income category but, of course, i'm concerned and worried about all americans. i want to make sure our safety net is appropriately able to care for our poor. i'm concerned about all citizens. now and then you misspeak. >> bill: okay. the governor referring in the misspeak comment that is he not very concerned about the poor. he said that the other day. but then he said because the feds take care of them with safety nets. question going forward is what does the american government both state and local and federal owe poor people? joining us now from los angeles to answer that question geraldo rivera. this is going to be a big campaign issue. because president obama has set up a class warfare situation where he is going to portray himself as the champion of the poor and the
