my parents would by stephen king novels. so fantasy and horror has always seemed to be a storytelling tool. a few other different ideas about what zombies mean. my own interpretation. on the genre of this funan and important time to me. i think different generations interpret core genres to their own needs. vampires mean something in 19th century england and they mean something different to the twilight generation for me they've always been an expressions of social anxiety and fear of other people go to bed and then you wake up in the world has changed. your loved ones or your neighbors or your teachers or coworkers have a sony zombies out to get you. and now they're out to get you. and of course it speaks very poorly of my psychology that i interpret zombies that way. this always stayed with me. when i already felt ready to tackle it have these and various ideas in the back of my head is social anxiety a common trait among novelists? >> i don't know. i'm not sure. i think worrying about your work and if you're doing a good

i learn to respect what stephen king wrote boys in the basement. or whatever. that's when things happen. and i pace myself and i like to write maybe 20,000 words a month. five or six months will give you a book length novel. it has been a great joy to do it. it's all i really wanted to do. and i've been fortunate that i've been able to do it. what could be a nicer thing than to sit and daydream all the time. martin amos was ask how could he be a writer and he wanted to turn it back and say to the question how do you deal with an mediated reality. i've got a new novel i set my own kind of in the world around with me. i told him it was right after conclave has come out. i'm reading robert harris as a new book. they said don't tell me i don't want to know. he could not wait to get into it. it was fascinating to me as a catholic to go behind the scenes so to speak. i want to ask about that novel in particular. did you have conversations with the industry toggles. they told him very much. there was a certain sense their own confidence to speak to someone. and so the

earlier -- i think stephen king, i remember reading "carrie" in seventh grade.ing structure, the linear store of carrie in her high school in her town, and then interspersed are newspaper conditions of the carnage that carrie unleashes. so it's foreshadowing and also an extra -- it's a text outside of the main text that's being inserted. and i remember reading that and, oh, you can actually play whatever seventh grade phrasing of that it, you can play with structure in that way, and play with how you tell a story. however i would have phrased that back then, i remember thinking that by reading "carrie." >> host: ever have any trouble naming your main character in mark spitzy after the. >> guest: mark spitz one goad medals for swimming. mark spitz in my book cannot swim. so ironic name for mark spitz. >> host: barbara in virginia beach. hi. >> caller: hi. thank you for taking my call. such a fascinating interview. i'm enjoying so much. i'd like to ask colson whitehead if he admires or likes the work of walter mosley, a writer i very much enjoy, a writer who is ve

author stephen king writes "broward county, broward school shooting, there'll be prayers from blabber mouth don, pence, the grinch, and their rightwing cohorts. there'll be no call for any sort of sane gun regulars." of sane gun regulars." they want to point fingers and blame and use all kinds of vicious, horrificus rhetoric it never accomplishes anything. now, they shouldn't be what these tragedies are about here. people rolling out the same, old, tired talking points and political arguments. liberals start blaming the weapon that the shooter used, in this case, an ar-15, but if they want to ban ar-15's, these mad men will use something else. we saw that atha virginia tech where a gunman used a pistol and killed 32 people. look, let's get to solutions tonight. i've been in radio for 30 years of my life. i've now -- this is my 23rd year at the fox news channel. i know all the talking points. i knoww it's all just noise. it's not going to solve the problem. here is a simple truth. you're not going to change people's minds with a political debate especially as it relates to the second a

>> when i was morgan's age, i was reading stephen king novels, so i just thought it was normal for a interested in scary stories. >> reporter: and it turns out that payton who crawled out of those woods alive, had even told her mom that morgan thought sler slender man was real. did it give you pause? >> a little bit, but at the same time, these girls are 12 years old, and fantasy when you are 12 years old is still a very active part of your life. >> reporter: but their fantasy would give way to reality, and morgan is anissa face charges of third degree intentional homicide. >> it wasn't until the following day, that we knew that she would be charged as an adult. >> when a child ten or older, commits a crime like this wisconsin law requires them to be charged in adult court. anthony cotton is morgan's attorney. >> was it clear to you she was struggling with mental illness? >> yeah. it was apparent right out of the gate. she'd be looking around the room. she'd looking in the corner. she seemed to be responding to things that weren't in the room. >> reporter: the girls are formally char

just what i like. >> stephen: as long as you're on it, disney is now going to make a-- quote, unquote-- live action-- >> a remake of "the lion king seth rogen. obviously, you were pumba, but you didn't make the cut-- >> no, i was tamone, see, everybody -- >> stephen: i didn't know! >> you were pumba-- >> no, i was-- i was tamone, but i didn't make the step by step ♪ getting to know you >> stephen: but you didn't make the cut. >> no, no. >> stephen: were you upset? >> i get an email from billy eichner, who is going to play tamone. he writes a lovely email saying he's going to be doing it and to let me know and follow in my footsteps and very complimentary and lovely-- very unlike billy eichner. i was very touched. i wrote him back-- sorry, that's jury duty. this is what i wrote back to pilly. "how dare you! what's next, you and ryan gosling in "the bird cage." ( cheers and applause ) i'd name another of my successful films, but i don't have one. ( laughter ) billie, when this was first announced, i thought to myself, "this just goes to prove the old show business adage 'everyone is replaceable, except james earl jones'. hukana (bl

stephen king took note of that. what happened there? what do you expect is going on?that a blip or a trend? >> a little bit of both. basically the stock market probably fell on friday because the jobs numbers were pretty good, which made people suspect that the fed will hike rates pretty soon. so that would lead to a correction later on. if there's less money out there, if it becomes more expensive essentially to borrow, less liquidity in the markets, that could lead to a correction in stock markets. stock markets were sort of freaking out, it's a little counterintuitive. i think in general we should expect the correction at some point in the coming months because markets have been up so much, they have been so frothy, especially since there is in risk of debt default for the united states. there are a lot of other risks as well. if we're going to spend even more money, that would lead to greater risks for the economy. >> the stock market does not track the economy -- people should decouple that. thank you very much. we' coming up in our next hour, sean hannity become

apparently it was cents a star studded event, joe biden was cents, there i think i saw stephen spielberg, gale kinga picture, quite the event. >> i will say at first glance i thought president obama's portrait immediately i knew who it was, michelle obama's, it took me a while, and i had to look at it in close up form from a distance i don't think that looks like her, but then the closer i got, you know? but i still think his is a great like. >> yes. i think it was meant to be con tomorrow poor area, different. >> it is different. >> reflect the two of them, also different from other presidential portraits that we've seen in the past. >> and i am dating live. >> i want to be painted looking like i'm just sitting amongst a flower bed, too. >> within the hour someone will tweet that out, photo shop. >> oh, just saying, the magic of technology, very true. today is your one day that's normal. of the seven day, it only get well much warmer and colder all over again. we have couple of of friends that will move through. additional showers -- rain showers, breitbart sunshine for you today, thankfully the w

author stephen king called "a mysterious fraternity they developed." a growing sense of brotherhood between thousands of soldiers, north and south, that placed individual ill will. the bitterness remained just before one' is. i have loved these noble confederate soldiers. we both fought for what we believe to be right. both sides were equally honest about it. well, not always honest. oftentories also -- descended into fantasy. these veterans group old, and their memories were "exaggerated," and i think one of the most extreme examples occurred in richmond in the 1912 reunion. tree, and olda confederate in his 90's by them, 1864, andng july 30, a battle when federals grew up a large segment of lee's lines, and he said -- when we was blown up at the crater, the and my men were thrown up in the air. we met our captain coming down. and as he went by, he hollered, let me know when you hit the ground. [laughter] today, on theide, west side of fredericksburg, is a site of the 1863 battle of salem church. barely one acre of the battlefield remains. everything

when a train carrying republican lawmakers to a retreat slammed into a garbage truck and author stephen kingmocked republicans after the crash. he is now apologizing for this tweet. on their way to a pricey retreat a garbage truck. king posted a follow-up scene a rather thoughtless tweet for me. for which i apologize if one is necessary and should be pointed out that to those republican politicians who can be heartless when they vote immediately got out to help. animals and commercial airplanes don't always go well together. united is following in delta's footsteps by tightening its policy for emotional support animals. the move coming after an incident on sunday when it refused to let dexter a peacock on a flight from new york to los angeles and salami of the fly next month. and needs proof from the veterinarian that they have all of the necessary things. and they won't be a threat to anyone else on the plane. plane. they have a store inside their app so you can buy a sweatshirt with the logo for 50 bucks or the famous dancing hotdog. this guy is pretty popular. that's $20. it all starts to

>> stephen: your character is quinn king and she's a total hard as. do think it's very funny because people watch our show now and think our show is not scripted, even though it is scripted because reality producers have now told me that they will get in their room and they are getting ready to cast their next contenths on their shows and in one of those conference rooms, one of the girls raised her hand and she said, i just want to let you know that we've all seen the show "unreal" and we're not going to let you manipulate us like they do on that show. ( laughter ) >> stephen: wow, what a great compliment. >> that's what i said. i said that is the greatest compliment i think i've ever heard. >> stephen: yeah, you've added to america's inability to differentiate between fantasy and reality, thank you very much. >> you're welcome. >> stephen: pulled us further into the madness. >> yes. ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: have reality people seen your show and gone, we should do that? >> i don't know. sometimes what you've seen on our show, the next nig

. >> stephen: now that sounds inappropriate until you remember that dr. king was awarded j.d.nd associates' best midsize humanitarian. ( laughter ) and initial customer satisfaction, i believe, is what he got. ( laughter ) and this ad is part of a whole new campaign for dodge. >> dr. king said he'd been to the mountain top and what better way to get there than dodge ram's powerful four while drive and multilink suspension. for it was the dalai lama that said the purpose of our lives stop happy, like the happiness that comes from the 6.4 litter hemiengine. joan of arc, we don't know if she loved dodge ram's infotainment display but who is to say she didn't. sthe cabin is big enough to make out in. here's a soldier with his child in the dog if that didn't work. >> stephen: we have a great show for you tonight. claire danes is here. but when we return, i share some of my private confessions. stick around. this is google home max. it's a speaker that's smart. it'll tune to your room and fill it with music. so if you want to feel all the layers of that acoustic version you love...

. >> stephen: okay, so now, you're-- you're-- you're, you know, king (bleep) of the mountain, but whentor when i was younger. i auditioned for "21 jump street," the original. it was like me or johnny depp, i think, for the part. did you have any roles. >> i did. >> stephen: ones that got away. >> "dead poet's society." "e.r.." >> stephen: who in "e.r." would you have been been? >> the noah reilly part. i came in a lab coat with a needle -- >> stephen: you came to the audition in a lab coat? >> they thought i was nuts. >> stephen: was anybody else in that outfit? >> they probably thought i was going to give them a coffee enema. but i didn't have the coffee. i looked pretty nuts to them, probably. >> stephen: we gotta go here in just a second, but i wanted to ask you about this one thing i've seen that i think is so cool. people started using "the threef advocating. stients in florida have now done. three billboard trucks. asking why there's no gun control. ( aeautpplaul. it's a really beautiful thing. yeah, it's been going on all 's really exciting. >> stephen: well, congratulations. >>

stephen: is that not true? >> i think historically you used to-- the prime minister, who would have to have tea with the king everya week, would have to end that tea time by puckering up and kissing the king on his exposed (bleep). ( laughter ) ( laughter ) >> do you think that's got my invitation back? ( laughter ) >> stephen: mmm-hmmm. that's high tea. that's high tea. 't get high. >> stephen: trump versus mueller, let's talk about that for a second. trump says, "oh, yeah, i definitely want to talk to mueller." >> sure he does. actually, i don't doubt-- i don't doubt that he wants to talk. but he is going to have to physically get through his lawyers first. if he talks-- he's going to have to eat his way through their hands over his mouth because they will tackle him to the floor before he opens his mouth in front of him. he would perjur himself before he finished his name gling he would do a good job, and i think he should do it. ( cheers and applause ) >> if-- if-- if i can just cosine on that. i know-- i know i joke around a lot, mr. president. but i also think you would do an excellent job. ( laughter ) and
