it's also home to my friend mark leibovich.pping today about washington called "this town, two parties and a funeral plus plenty of valet parking in america's guilded capital." he says this is a city so interconnected, a city of beautiful, busy people constantly writing the story of their own lives, it's far from being homelessly divided, it is is in fact hopelessly interconnected." are you there? >> i'm here. >> mark, you're usually on the side of you and i talking about how crazy this is. and now you've written a book about this. why should the viewers read this book? why would they care? >> i actually do think this book is aimed at people outside of washington. there's been a lot of anticipation, speculation and tidbits taken inside the beltway but ultimately i want people outside of washington to know what the city that i think they fundamentally are disappointed in truly has come to. and the fact is it's a very, very guilded age in washington right now and i wanted to sort of flesh out what the full carnival has really loo

. >> mark leibovich, author of "this town."d your ground a call to arms? let's play "hardball." >>> good evening, i'm chris matthews out in san francisco. let me start tonight with this. stand your ground. what's this law all about? is it a statement that you don't have to avoid trouble? is it a call to arms? and what part did it play in george zimmerman's behavior that tragic night? did it encourage him to pursue trayvon martin? was it because he had a gun and thought he had the law on his side? isn't it a fair question that none of this would have happened if this person had been unarmed? was there something in his thinking, zimmerman's about the law, something about the way he behaved when he pursued martin that resulted from this law that says stand your ground?

no, it's a book called "this town" by mark leibovich of the new york times which explores d.c.'obsession with itself which is why we are talking about it. welcome to "fox news sunday." >> thanks, chris. >> thank you from the bottom of my heart. my name doesn't appear a single time in the book. >> is that true? there is not an index so you had to look for it. >> i read the book. i was reading the book because i liked it, enjoyed it and maybe because my name didn't appear. you're tough on what you call this town, washington, d.c. you talk about a people who come to washington to do good and stay here to do well. their membership in what you call the club becomes paramount and self-defining. they become part of the system that rewards more than anything self-perpetuation. then there is this. you still hear the term public service thrown around but with irony and full knowledge that self-service is now the real insider play. >> right. >> is it really that rotten here in washington? >> i would say that it has gotten to be quite a carnival in washington to a degree to which people out

tonight, mark leibovich, this town, two parties in a funeral plus plenty of valet parking in america'slded capital. this "new york times" magazine reporter talks about the culture of washington. >> it was intended to be married to a culture. that sounds a little bit pat. i think ultimately people have focused on the takedown elements, right? who really comes off worse: the tidbits. i mean, you know how books are marketed and sort of talkd about these days. i think there is a larger point here which is that washington has become extremely self-satisfied at a time when the rest of the

because i was looking at the stack of the "new yorker"s the other night on my bed stand and mark leibovich's wonderful new book. >> rose: "this town." >> "this town," it's an extraordinary book. but it's in this fight over and over. it's right next to the remote and it's -- the numbers show that everybody's watching more and more television. where is it coming from? in my instance i do think that if i want to see a -- read a great story, frequently i'm ending up grabbing the remote. partly because i can pull out exactly what i want, watch it when i want and get tucked in by whatever i like. >> rose: final question for you. being the big fan i am. what is your role? what is the column supposed to be about? what is it that people come to david for? >> well, i'm part of a -- every monday the "new york times" tries to index into the media business and we were often the kind of poor relation. it's like we write about people who actually do things. we're covering -- journalists are bosswells, right? they'd stand adjacent to people who actually do things and the media business nothing every ever ch

mark leibovich, author of this town, brand new book on tuesday, creating controversy in washington.gie abraham, and tavis smiley of pbs. let me begin with you, you were out there all week long with spitzer. and this poll he was probably referring to. i guess this shouldn't be a surprise. he's a well-known man. he is leading the race for comptroller. 42-32 over scott stringer. and more than two-thirds of democrats saying he does indeed deserve that second chance. is that what you saw on the streets? >> no. it is not what i saw on the streets. but i do think it's what we're going to see at the ballot box. if nothing else comes out, and stringer can't make a credible case, nobody knows him, he's a nice man, i know him, he's not a known commodity. spit -- spitzer is. it's largely won on name recognition. i think what you saw, he did do that in the debate. he will eat stringer alive. >> what did you see in the streets? >> people were standing back and not believing what we were see. we weren't, candidly. but people will remember the better parts of his record. i think the public does bel

. >> and clinton, speaking of columns you wrote a very interesting one about mark leibovich's book "thisu talk about how the power brokers are operating and d.c. where the average citizen lives and certainly different worlds, but is that indicative of the problem of the leaders that they are refusing to work together while the people they serve suffer. >> yes, if you look at the income gap that exists of the people in the district, it is one of the high nest the nation, and there are people living literally 10 to 15 blocks from the white house in strict poverty and that is the case all over america. if it is the case in d.c. where the president lives and works, it is obviously the case in america, and the way that you look at d.c. shows the way the rest of the nation exists as well. >> can i ask you, representative frost, you spent like a quarter century shall we say in that world, and what is your response to that? >> well, the republicans have taken an incredible position that they don't want to do anything, and it is irresponsible, and there is a gap, and it is clearly, and i would ho

we had a guy on, mark leibovich, a book called "this town" and it's about the revolving door.eet. how do you think about that issue? >> well, i think that you can see the different models when you're dealing with people from different countries. obviously there are pros an cons to each. i think there is a real vibrancy that was within our systemd cons to each. i think there is a real vibrancy that was within our system where you can draw talent from the outside and people come into public service for the sole reason to try to contribute. so i think there is enormous benefits of that and you see guys like that when guys like than pa hank paulson come into be treasury secretary. but there is risk. >> thank you for coming in. >> some bells going on. food maybe. >> no, i think that's get your seats. >> shoot. so you're trying to generate alpha. rarely do you find a place -- we're delivering it. that's why you're here. coming up, treasury secretary jack lew. skip to my lou. will be speaking at our delivering alpha conference. he's the keynote speaker. and ben bernanke will address
