(steven spielberg) i never went to film school.ut when i went to royce hall one day to see a film festival of combined ucla and usc student films, that's when i first saw george lucas's work, thx 1138, and i met george that day and i realized there was an entire generation coming out of nyu, usc, ucla and i was kind of an orphan, abandoned in long beach, at a college that didn't really have a film program. so i even redoubled my efforts at that moment to attend those two universities. and every time i went in with my application for transfer, they kept saying, no, your grades aren't high enough. and then i remember one teacher at usc said, "you're probably going to vietnam anyway." well for me, before i went to film school i was interested in maybe becoming an english major or becoming an anthropology student. i wanted to go to art school and become an illustrator. those were the options that i was playing with. i didn't know very much about film at all. i was interested in photography and it was really out of my interest to become

[ laughter ] >> i love that story. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: so what were you doing? just improvising? >> we were doing an improv, an extended improv about a place like the comedy store, the improv, a comedy club. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and we were all supposed to do characters you might see performing at a comedy club. so i, i could never remember punch lines to jokes. so my character was a bad comic who you would never, ever expect to make it. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and so i just told jokes where i couldn't remember the punch lines and pulled props out of the back. >> jimmy

>> i think it is spielberg's best film. it doesn't matter what i think. i am prejudiced tried there is a wonderful actor playing this little old man. it was the default practice of profession. the addams family was not one into wealth. even though john adams was fifth generation new england, not a lot of the addams family had any distinction in any area of life before john adams. but john adams earned his living as a lawyer. he graduated from harvard. you either became the clergymen or a lawyer, unless you had a boston magnet businessman who made a lot of money and you could go into the business. he hated being a lawyer and he had to fall back on it early on. he served a term in congress as a senator, elected by the massachusetts house legislature, and he got into a lot of trouble with the federalists who put them there because he supported some of thomas jefferson's policies, which he thought were bad policies but the best ones available for the country at the time. he came back twice to once after being washington's ambassador to the netherlands and aft

[ screaming ] why the hell do these directors keep updating their movies? and now for your feature presentation, the classic re-re-re-release of "star wars: the empire strikes back." all: whoo-hoo!

if any of you have seen the wonderful spielberg movie "lincoln," you know how that turned out. although his nomination was notimous, he was necessarily well-liked by everyone in his party. the radical wing of his party were doing everything it could to get rid of him before his renomination. the secretary of the treasury as using his position treasury department secretary to use patronage, putting people into useful positions who might be able to help get rid of lincoln as a republican nominee. and after lincoln was nominated, a major general named john charles fremont refused to drop out of the race until september. so fremont had actually been the first republican candidate for president in 1856, and he was threatening to divide the party if lincoln would not drop out of the race. the democrats had been planning to hold their convention on july 4. what better patriotic than to hold a convention? and the democrats saw how badly the war was going to her they thought, maybe we should wait and see how much worse it gets andre we choose our nominee also write to our platform. so t

but i'm thinking of the spielberg movie on lincoln where back in the civil war, literally the doors were open and whoever could go in and out. >> this is our discussion and in the media in general is exposing how weak the security around the president is. i feel like maybe we should wrap up the conversation because the people who do want to harm the president now, are we giving them more information? >> i don't think the security around the president is weak. i think there will always be a blip here and there. i do. it may seem that way that is why we will study to see what is wrong and how good it is and how bad it is is in order. >> and enter the white house but the reality tv crew. but how is a guy able to get on an elevator with a gun with the president? to me, i mean -- >> that was the last straw. she did not tell us that in open session and we had a secret session and she did not tell us that then. >> when it comes to national security it's more important that we focus on what is between someone's ears rather than legs. is should not matter whether it is a man or a woman running it

15th amendment had been shepherded through congress the previous january, thanks to congressman spielberg. congress had to face its implications. when they met that first week of december, they had reason to think, and rightly so, that word would come real soon than the amendment had actually been ratified. what next? it had become increasingly clear across the war that the abolition of slavery was a likely outcome. and of course, the objective of winning that war had always been a primary pursuit. suddenly, you get the two in combination, and each left a huge combination to be addressed. what would the now suddenly former confederate states be? and how to treat them. and who would the now-former slaves be? what should be their status. lawmakers, federal or state, had multiple models to work from as they tried to address the question of former slaves. one was white freedom. the same rights, responsibilities, and resources that occurred to anybody, regardless of race. not regardless of race. regardless of gender. of class, of locale, of all the kinds of things. but it requires the antecede

you and steven spielberg were at usc.f we had seven or eight of these big extravaganza films, like a good choice of titles, five or six of those don't make it, there will be an implosion. >> i think the issue is ultimately, what are you selling? you are selling creativity, raw creativity from talented people. the problem has always been with the studios. at the beginning the entrepreneurs who ran the studios were creative guys. they would take books and turn them into movies and do things like that, but when i grew up it was the first time they allowed film students in. before, you could never get in the movie business. in the 1960's, kids in from schools loved film. they just loved it. so they did not care that they could not get a job or make movies or anything. they were going to school to stay there as long as they cut. so the issue the day i arrived on the warner bros. lot for the scholarship, jack warner left and they sold it to seven arts in canada, then to sony, and suddenly all these corporations were coming in.

the story a understand is when you told steven spielberg you're writing a book about lincoln county said i won an option you haven't read the book yet. how long did it take to get the book finished? >> that is correct. he was doing a documentary on the millennium of the century in 1999 and i met him a lot with other historian said he always wanted to make a movie about lincoln. when he found out he started on lincoln, he said she can't all have the first chance and there'll be 20 people lined up to make a movie on lincoln. so while i was finishing chapters, he put to he put to script writers on they did a really good job, but he wanted daniel day-lewis to be a fluke and i did know didn't accept either one of those until finally after i had finished the book, tony kushner came on a murder script and did nothing guess i'll be abraham lincoln. as soon as that happened comest even called me and asked me to take daniel to springfield, illinois to go to the sites. he was coming incognito because they didn't want to announce he was lincoln yet because he wanted time to become lincoln. he become

the story i tell is the precursor to the story in the spielberg film which is the passage of the 13 amendment. he was passionate about getting it done because he does not believe that the emancipation proclamation will be durable enough to have a freedom of the slaves past the war. you raise a question that is consistently raised by the man to patient proclamation, if it was not freeing slaves and the territory where the federal government controls, how would it free anyone? in fact it didn't free anyone immediately, but the union army became an army of liberation. wherever the army went, they would liberate slaves. the key differences between -- we didn't get into this, i referred to three versions of the emancipation proclamation, steward, brilliant man working carefully with lincoln, changing the language, trying to make a stronger, better, not only recognized the freedom of the slaves but maintain it, defend it with the september proclamation, he does that and in the january proclamation that becomes law, he says encourage the enlistment of freed slaves in the union army and so 180,000, 2

if any of you have seen the wonderful spielberg movie "lincoln," you know how that turned out. although his nomination was unanimous, he wasn't really well liked by every member of his party. the radicals were trying to get rid of him. before lincoln's renomination, the treasury department secretary used patronage, putting people into helpful positions that may have been able to help get rid of lincoln. john charles freemont refused to drop out of the race. he actually was the first republican candidate in 1856 and freemont was threatening to divide the republican party if lincoln didn't drop out of the race. what better patriotic day to hold a convention, and the democrats saw how badly the war was going and they thought, maybe we should wait and see how much worse it gets before we choose our nominee and also write our platform. so they waited until the last three days of august, when they convened on august 29th in chicago, they chose to nominate george b. mcclellan for president and george h. pendleton for vice president. george mcclellan was a very popular officer during t
