talk about the separation of powers and if that is going to be an issue since president obama a big fan of sonia sotomayor. he appointed her. >> sure. this was a great day for america, fredericka. not for the reasons a lot of people are thinking. we recognize now justice sotomayor, but what happened is america has never seen in our nation's history a swearing in of a justice of our u.s. supreme court. what a great moment. more importantly on the separation issue, you recall that justice roberts and justice alito were sworn in at the white house. president obama and now justice sotomayor got it right. the swearing in took place at the u.s. supreme court, which the founders, i think, intended. this is a separate, independent branch of the government. before this when you have swearings in at the white house, there is a mixed message. the beautiful thing about today is that swearing in took place where it should have been, in a separate, independent branch of the government, a great, great day for the constitution. >> richard herman says at the end of the day though really thinking forward

become the voice and of course that was the strategy by obama, the obama administration to focus on risch-- rush lembo while he has many fans also has many people who don't like rush limbaugh so i think right now there is a fight within the republican party to find its leadership. i think that-- 2010 is going to be an important election for republicans. at this point i don't think they can regain control of congress but, if they lose badly in 2010 we are going to c8 bush within the republican party to return more moderate. >> the conservative ascendancy came out in 2007? now you have a new book out and it is co-written with nancy maclean, the american conservative movement, 1945 to the present. first of all why did to start in 1945? >> i think modern conservatism immerges-- there has been conservatives before the second world war but it is primarily a modern movement so that is why we began in 1945. >> why, what happened in 1945? >> i think primarily the emergence of the communist issue in the cold war. i think that really gave the conservative movement and but this. and there was a coming together of intellectual forces. t

obama and the nascar vote. nascar drivers and their fans tend to vote republican but that hasn't stopped president obama and othering bloc. but it turns out a democratic president was the first to invite nascar drivers to the white house. president jimmy carter was a huge nascar fan. craig orderen is the white house editor for politico. is it realistic to think president obama can appear with nascar drivers as he has this afternoon and that will translate into votes of southern white males. >> it's hard to picture that whole group of folks is going to start supporting barack obama because they didn't very much in the campaign. if you're the president of the united states, it never hurts. it's a way to show a little sign of respect to kind of a regional favorite as nascar is. this is a group of voters he's had a lot of trouble with dating back to the primaries that famous comment about bitter voter clinging to guns and religion. he was talking about nascar dads a lot in that sentence out in san francisco and i think he's tried to make amends ever since. why not? get about 20 of these guys to come to the white hous

that's why obama's bill -- i'm such a fan of obama's bill. that's howard dean's version of healthcare, 2004. insure everybody under 30. let everybody else buy into medicare or keep their private insurance if you want. now here's what i like obama's bill. it gets back to choice. we have failed to insure people in this country not just because the insurance companies spend a lot of money with harry and lewis who have endorsed health insurance now. we failed because we tried to make the american people do something they didn't want to do. 80% of the people in this country have insurance. of those, 80% have good insurance so 65% roughly have good insurance and the rest of them are upset. and some of the 65 are upset 'cause it cost too much. so instead of trying to force everybody out of the system that we already have 'cause 65 always beats 35 in a democracy, we ought to let people choose on their own. let them understand what the pros and cons of both systems are by experiencing those systems and letting them make the choice. i've always said th

obama? >> well, i wasn't a fan of his when he got elected. and my views haven't changed any. i -- i have serious doubts about his policies, serious doubts, especially about the extent to which he understands and is prepared to do what needs to be done to defend the nation. >> now, he has stepped up the use of the predator drones against al qaeda. he has continued rendition. aren't there some things you support that he's done? >> sure, some of those things have been the use of the predator drone, someing we started very aggressively in the bush administration, marrying up the intelligence platform with weapons is something we started in august of 2001. it's been enormously successful. and they were successful the other day in killing batulla masud. the damage that will be done by the president going back on his word about investigation of cia personnel who carried out those policies is seriously going to undermine the morale, if you will, of our folks out at the agency. just today, for example, the courts in pakistan have ruled th the father of the pakistan nuclear weapon, man

president obama was ducking responsibility by suggesting the decision to investigate was left entirely up to the attorney general. on the water assessment of his record he said that he was not a fan that has not changed. he says he does not believe the president understands what needs to be done to defend this nation. jon: thank you. we will have a fair and balanced debate a little bit clearer in the hour on the former vice president's comments and the reaction they are getting from those in favor and opposed to the investigation. heather: a new report on iran's nuclear arsenal. a nuclear watchdog agency saying that in iran is reducing its uranium enrichment. jennifer griffin is live for us at the pentagon with more on this. israel is clearly feeling a little bit more anxious about iran's nuclear program. how much time before iran gets a nuclear weapon? >> the intelligence agencies here in the united states in israel have different views as to oblong it would take. my colleague said -- sat down with the israeli president today. he had an exclusive interview. here is what shimon peres, the israeli president had to say. >> how long does israel believe it will take iran to get a nuc

>> michelle, this is a critical point in barack obama's attempt to sal vanilla his health care plan. lawmakers are fanning out across the country having meetings. the anger was right on the surface when senator arlen specter of pennsylvania had a meeting today. people were getting right in his face. many are conservatives who barack obama is not trying to win over because he knows they're lost. he's trying to get people who have insurance, people in the center of the spectrum and his objective at his town hall today was turning down the temperature. >> where we do disagree, let's disagree over things that are real. not these wild misrepresentations that bear no resemblance to anything that's actually been proposed. because the way politics works sometimes is people who want to keep things the way they are will try to scare the heck out of folks and they'll create boogiemen out there that aren't real. >> the question is whether that kind of applause he generated in new hampshire is going to be able to drown out the boos and heckling and disturbances at some of the other town halls. president has two more s

that is why i am such a fan of obama's bill. that is howard dean's take on this. let them keep private insurance if they want. now, here is why i like the obama bill as a choice. we have failed to insure people in this country, not only because the insurance companies spent a lot of time trying to get it to fail, but we have failed because we have tried to make the american people do something they did not want to do. 80% of the people in this country have insurance. of those, many have a good insurance, roughly 60%, and the rest of them are upset, and some of the 65% are upset because it costs too much, so instead of forcing people out, we ought to let people choose on their own, let them understand what the pros and cons are of both systems are experiencing those systems and letting them make the choice. this -- the president has put forward, i think, the best healthcare bill i've seen and i've been doing this stuff since kennedy and javits were trying to do it for jimmy carter. the reason why it's so good because is allows the pace of reform to go at the pace t

so, no, i'm not a big fan of -- i don't think anybody turns on a comedy show to hear my particular point of view. i can do a joke about president obama president bush. that's what they are. just jokes. tavis: there are two shows. you mentioned president obama. you did the show for 17 years. opposite ends of the spectrum. two of the biggies that come to mind. the hugh grant moment. >> ok. >> tavis: and the barack obama moment. the first sitting president to sit on a late night show. what is bigger than that and can you justify those two? >> i think president obama is a lot bigger than hugh grant. hugh grant did not get enough credit there. he came in. no publicist. no support. he said look, i was stupid. ask me whatever you want and he was very open and honest. nowadays you have -- i can't remember, we had some ice skater on. she had been famous like seven or eight years ago and she was naked in playboy. we put her on. america's sweetheart. then in the dressing room. hi, nice to sese you. thanks for coming. we are not discussing playboy or me being naked. why don't you take your client home? your client hasn't said anything. they call
