has his relationship with the new yorker ended? every editor he ever had, sy hersh said if you took three quarters of the editors in the world and through the off the bridge we would be better off so he never gets along with editors and that was certainly the case but this has been a very interesting paternal force and a very controlling force of hersh. whether their relationship is richard i don't know. we will see soon enough when the book comes out. >> where there any other questions? all right. >> thank you all for being here tonight. if you want to have a book of front of the above to sign so thank you.

maybe that explains why one new yorker went looking for poets in the subway. s hour" has the story that we offer during this national poetry month. >> reporter: madeline schwartzman spends a good portion of her morning, like many new yorkers do. getting to work on the subway. yet unlike many strap hangers, her mission isn't just finally getting to her destination in uptown manhattan. the journey itself is her goal. and her success all depends on the openness of strangers. >> can i ask you -- i'm doing a project called 365 subway poems by new yorkers. write about your life, anything. >> reporter: that's because on every single trip to and from work since last spring, madeline asks fellow commuters to write a poem in her notebook. >> i look for people that have this quality of openness. i can completely recognize who is sort of free to write a poem and almost who can write. i can prove that. it's amazing. you can just tell. and it's not necessarily clothing and it's -- sometimes a look in the eye. it's the way they hold their body. every time i ride the subway, i

"the new yorker" cartoons of which there are more than 200. i was looking not just for income tax related sitcom episodes in new york cartoons but for tax related episodes in cartoons generally. but it turns out they are virtually all income tax so if sitcom episodes were distributed across tax topics according to the amount of revenue that the different taxes actually raised there would be almost as many payroll tax episodes as income tax episodes by the horse there aren't any payroll income tax episodes. the reason is the returned based income tax. the reason i say to chairs is because they think in one way that's a good thing. in another way it's about thing. why it's a bad thing is more obvious. it has been estimated i'd quote an estimate in the book that people spend some place in the neighborhood of $3.5 billion a a -- hours a year preparing their tax returns pulling together the records and preparing to return themselves are working with a tax preparer. that's not even counting the headache and aggravation and not counting the amount th

i'm a new yorker for 23 years.y son is a fifth-generation new yorker, and yet to generation backs we were cotton farmers. that's important to know. hope thew did you embracing of that thread will impact their lives? >> i don't know that they can take it in fully now because they are young, but my age i they are'd know connected to these generations and that my grandmother who picked cotton, no electricity, raised seven kids, that she did that so they can have the life they have, these privileged lives. i want them to know that. i want them to be connected to the music. the music is like religious -- religion to me. i want them to know about roots music. this is part of being american to me. tavis: it seems to me there are at least three types of people where this notion of thread is concerned. legacy. we all have a thread, and we all have a legacy. some of us know that. people who have really done the research to know what their roots are. number two, those of us who haven't taken the time to really dig into those

comedy episodes based on the income tax of which it turns out there's about a hundred altogether x new yorker cartoons of which there's more than 200. and i was looking not just for income tax-related sitcom episodes and new yorker cartoons, but for tax-related episodes and cartoons generally. but it turns out they're virtually all income tax. so if sitcom episodes were distributed across tax topics according to the amount of revenue that the different taxes actually raised, there would be almost as many payroll tax episodes as there are income tax episodes. but, of course, there aren't any payroll tax episodes, and there's a hundred income tax episodes, and the basic is the return of the income tax forces you to pay attention to it. and the reason i say two cheers is because in one way that's a good thing, and in another way it's a bad thing. why it's a bad thing is the more obvious, right? that it's been estimated, i quote an estimate in the book that people spend someplace in the neighborhood of three and a half billion hours a year preparing their tax returns, pulling together the records

we know that there are laws that protect inchers new yorkers and americans from racial profiling. >> was this worthwhile? >> i think so. this was a driven attempt to undermine counterterrorism operations. >> but if it didn't work? >> who said it didn't work. >> well, the police said it didn't work. the police have said there was nothing that they got through doing this kind of surveillance that they couldn't have gotten through overt means that did not penetrate these communities. >> the only people i've heard making that statement are not members of the nypd and don't have the intelligence clearance. the idea that you have to have a concrete prosecution. 16 of the 19 al-qaeda plots diverted since september 11th have targeted new york. this kind of covert unit is not simply about gathering information for prosecution. it's about feeding intelligence to prevent attacks. so whethe when someone makes a statement about not making a prosecution. that's irrelevant. good police something understanding your community. this is not targeting communities. this is targeting people in those commu

the fact is new yorkers lost it. a disgrace. >> jimmy: but there's some graffiti. we found some graffiti here. this one's not bad. >> that's fine. that's not great. [ laughter ] that's not graffiti. that's basic vandalism. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's all right. but then there's -- how about this one? this one is pretty good. >> all right. what do you got? >> jimmy: they kind of moved some letters around. >> hold up. does that tear imply that i killed someone? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it's a tear tattoo. absolutely, yeah. that's what hardcore -- >> that's how you get a show on hbo, you've got to kill someone. >> jimmy: congratulations on that. absolutely. yeah, we have got to work on that graffiti, guys. get out there and do it. but i mean, i'm seeing -- >> yeah, get out there and write awful things on my face. >> jimmy: now, but i'm seeing you everywhere. this is big. congratulations. you're on the cover of a a magazine, my friend. >> yes!

new yorkers, where i am, have the highest, paying a whopping 12.6% of their collective income. w jersey is second, with 12.3% followed by connecticut at 11.9%. so basically if i were looking to relocate from new york to a nearby state, i would have move to new hampshire or virginia. they are the closest states with meaningful lower taxes but the commute time would eat up any money i might save doing that. when i talk about state and local taxes i'm just talking about counties and school districts. americans also pay taxes for water abatement districts, all of them eager to tax you. the number of these districts has balloons to 90,056. so your view of the tax picture have can a lot to do with the city, and county. just some places make you pay more for taxes while others give you more bang for your tax buck. a think tank has released the state local tax burden report every year since 1977. liz is the coauthor of the report. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> how are these taxes calculated. >> we start with a measure from the u.s. census bureau, so we can get ou

(laughter) (applause) but maybe most hurtful, my fellow conservatives abandoned me in my time of need. like michelle malkin, who "co-signed" on to cancel-colbert and called me a "coward." this cuts deep, especially since i learned everything i know about sensitivity to the asian-american experience from michelle's 2004 book, "in defense of internment." (audience booing) turns out they had it coming. (laughter) one less thing to feel guilty about. so to recap-- a web editor i've never met posts a tweet in my name on an account i don't control, outrages a hashtag activist, and news media gets 72 hours of content. the system worked! (laughter) but this all started right after i taped thursday night's show, so i couldn't respond until today. in a sense, i "was" canceled... for three days. just like jesus. (laughter)

. >> if you have not read ryan liz's piece in "the new yorker" this week about new jersey governor chris christie, you must do this this morning. it is such a good read. >> homework during the commercials. >> read it during "new day," not during "early start." >>> all right, this story really interesting this morning, too. a louisiana congressman says he's sorry, he is sorry after a video surfaced showing representative vance mcallister, a married father of five children, kissing a staffer, kissing a staffer who is also married. in a statement, mcallister says he promises to win back the trust of everyone he's disappointed, including his wife, his kids and his constituents. he won't say whether he plans to step down from the post he's only held for four months. consenting adults, perhaps, but he was elected on a platform of family values, and you know -- >> theoretically, a platform of not kissing your staffer in front of a security camera. >> right, exactly. >>> breaking overnight, congratulations to uconn! the huskies, the champions of college basketball. uconn brought its final four r
