edmund burke, thomas payne and the birth of right and left.>> thank you very having me. >> john meacham out of the question involving what war in. >> i think we're going to start with the french-indian war. i think maybe we will zip ahead to the french revolution. it's a little current if we go straight to the french revolution. >> agents that the next hour. the polynesian war. >> you worked on this, what was the impetus for the vote? >> this is a vote about the root of our group fookt of right and left in our politics. the fact that we have a broadly conservative party and aggressive party. they're at each other's throats over an incredibly wide range of subjects. we take for granted their politics is defined by the common between them. what the right and left are about and it does that by looking to history. in some ways what was the first instance of the right and left dwiechltd an intense and fascinating ideological debate that grib e gripped the world at the end of the 18th century, it was defined by the american revolution, by this debat

i go back to what franklin, he raised practically thomas payne who is an atheist.to him and said god, there is no god and should be no churches. franklin said how dare you? you may not need it, but other people do. look at the benefits it's brought so many people. don't cut down what they do and believe because you believe something differently. find what works for you. i believe that jesus is the savior. he was born to redeem us. that's what i have found. but if you do your own homework and you are like it doesn't work for me and find another faith, that's okay. let's just be good to each other. i see god as a dad. and i think -- i think when i come into a room and my kids are arguing and neither of them have done what i told them to do, they say but dad, look what she's doing. he looks, she did this. i look at both of them and say i don't care, i will deal with your sister and i will deal with your brother separately. you do what i told you to do. that's who god is. did you do what i told you to do? don't tell me about your sister. i'll deal with your sister. tha

examples throughout history -- martin luther in his use of pamphlets, the court of anne boleyn, thomas payne and his pamphlet "common sense." and the way that pamphlets were used more broadly in the run-up to the american and french revolution. >> the first 2000 years of social media, tonight on "the communicators," 8:00 eastern on c-span2. >> "washington journal" continues. host: each week in this segment of "washington journal" we look at how your money is at work in the federal government, and this week rather than looking at a specific program we will be looking at a federal law, specifically the false claims act, which was passed by congress 150 years ago this year. to help do that we are joined by colette matzzie, an attorney with phillips and: here in washington, who has represented whistleblowers under the false claims act. we appreciate you joining us. we probably should start by explaining the history of this law. take us back to the time of the civil war and why this act was put in place. guest: sure. well, thank you, thank you for having me on. the false claims act was enacted in

payne. wes anderson. paul thomas. coen brothers. alexander payne. they should be supported. the 1970's, they were supported. i do not feel it is that way now. i may be speaking out of turn for them. i do feel there is a struggle for even the most moderate budget picture to be made. and if you don't get it made and people do not see it, there is always that problem of distribution. there are pictures you do not see any they go straight to video. of course now, ultimately, pictures will be shown through satellite. all kinds of platforms. which is great but it is this period, george lucas was talking about it, and 10 years is going to be the dark zone. we do not know where things will land in terms of how they will be presented. >> at the same time, thinking about the technology, you are in love with film. >> yes. yes. >> he did this movie on film. >> nothing for dailies or anything? >> i did shoot digital at night. we can't light the streets anymore. it takes too much time. the cameras are good. >> so you combined film and digital. to sit here, his enthusiasm is so great. >> a
