Today is the birth of Nelson Rockefeller angelica houston and beck. And 19 years ago today kim jongil assumed supreme leadership, and he passed it down to his kim son. John im young john fugelsang. Some journalists covered the story. Some journalists become part of the story they cover and then there are the journalists who cover so many bases they become a story themselves in could i crowcairo,egypt, we saw that at work. Two News Networks covering the story have found themselves unexpectedly becoming part of it. Reporters forralgia gera was thrown out aljazeera staffers were arrested and released an egypts apparently army seized power. Aljazeera has been seen as a strong supporter of Muslim Brotherhood. And the third part of my equation, no one is a bigger story than our first guess sole dvd dad obrien is an emmy award journalist who has reported an anchored shows for cnn msnbc and nbc news, and ceo of starfish media. And shes a cnn contributor executive producer and moderator of National Geographics geography bee. Is that all. More coming. John great to see you back on tv. Thank you. John you created a very unique role for yourself, something that is unprecedented amongst most broadcast journalists. Youve diversified so effectively. Youre reporting sports, and now contributing to Aljazeera America. Why did you choose that path . Was it important for you to be your own boss. I think it could be a new model. One, i got to the point where i only wanted to do what i wanted to do. There are stories i didnt want to cover. When you anchor you cover a whole range of things. There were things that i was particularly good at, and stories i wanted to tell, and then there was a list i wasnt interested in doing. Maybe there was a way to run a company, and just do the projects youre interested in. Im not sure three years ago agoweve been in the works in this company for two years im not sure three years ago this was doable, but now you have other players in the marketplace. If you have good enough brand and Strong Enough background that you can go to people who are not necessarily looking for people to only work for one company, saying listen, this is what we want you to do for us. Thats the deal we struck, and we have a couple more to announce soon. John really . Yes. John you said you were interested in covering thoughtful stories, stories that were unreported elsewhere, and what kind of stories are we talking about showbiz dating . Just the kardashians. I think were going to continue the blackamerican and latinoamerican franchise. They did really well. I think you can dig in deeper on stories that people are interested in, but News Networks dont go back and doing. For aljazeera well be looking at haiti whats working and whats not. We havent gone back to say where is the money . How much money got back to haiti, a lot of it did not. What are they doing with the money in haiti americans gave lifealot of money. I was performing stand up for the troops, and by then, many were networks were gone. Its very intense and you have to move on to the next story, but i love new orleans. I went to new orleans for the first time when i was covering hurricane katrina, and i continue to go back because i love that story. I want to be there. Im rooting for the people in new orleans to recover fully. I enjoy going back to haiti every single year, and im really interested in what is good and not good in terms of recovery. John indeed, its devastating. Im grateful youre doing there. People have no idea a whats really happening. Is there a different kind of story you would do for cnn as opposed what you would do for Aljazeera America . What weve agreed to, for cnn were doing documentaries. For aljazeera our piece also run eight minutes. The average nightly news pizza is 1 30. For cnn well take a look at a documentary which requires a a lot of storytelling over a long period of time and for people to root for. For my perspective its length of time. John the specials that youve done for cnn have been exquisite and hard hitting. You may be unique position to report on race. Correct me if im wrong youre part africanamerican, part latino, part irish no temper issues. None. John were you destined to cover race having grown up straddling these different worlds . It never felt like it. I always felt a little bit like a freak. In 2008 wheneven before the president , then senator was running for office, we started to do a documentary about where are we now. The assassination of dr. King, and where are we as black americans today. Then he entered the race, and it changed the whole dynamic of looking at black america look at stories of Success Stories of failure, and what was happening. I always enjoyed covering race. I think you can push hard on topics. You can hold people with the accountable. You can bring your own insights. One that was about biracial, to see these girls struggle with identity. My mother would say never let anybody tell you youre not black. Dont let anybody tell you youre not latino. I said crazy lady, what is that about . But these girls were torn by their identity. John having a biracial president has made it easier . No, oh my gosh, were covering the Trayvon Martin trials that is underway right now. The paula dean comments. Think about all the things about race that are in the news all the time. John of course, but i mean in terms of being a biracial young person. The media does not sell them as biracial. I consider myself africanamerican but im technically biracial. I think president is such an exalted title that its hard for people to identify on a day daytoday movement. To get past this race its not true. Were not going to run out of stories on blackamerica and black latino america. John in cry row, two of the networks youre involved with, cnn and aljazeera have become part of the story that they did not intend. And there are great risks for journalist who is are perceived of taking sides in such a contentious conflict where people are being hurt and killed. Is there a danger in the audience not knowing who to believe and trust. There is always a danger, and the reason why is because it matters. Cnn was being challenged by the crowd when he said it was a coup. Well, it matters. If its defined as a coup that brings certain things with it. Its not just a random word that he used loosely. It matters. It matters if reporters are biased towards the Muslim Brotherhood or not. Thats really a relevant which. Then youre dealing with a crowd at a time when people are angry squared, and there could be a massacre. Its very dangerous for the journalists there. John how much do you decide how much to let the audience know where your personal opinion lie in the story. I admireed you when you worked with cnn how you could be impartial and yet you could find the truth. My strategy was im going to call you on your b. S. John thats the bias that matters. Thats what i do. Please, if i feel like youre lying to me, i really politically do not care, but i will go after you. That was much more interesting to me. Interviews with black americans and latinos, same thing. Im going to push back on things that i think are lies in this conversation. That to me was much more important. But i opened an black america one being biracial with im biracial. This is an interesting conversation for me. And i got to tell you a very different experience than i had. Let me introduce you to a couple of women blahblah. I dont mind sharing things with the audience. I feel like sometimes you have to. John i felt that in the Campaign Last year. I felt that your reporting was uncommonly sharp and precise on a morning news program. Im bias because i was on that show, but i felt that you were laser focused on the questions that you ask. You got a lot of press for the tough questioning you gave politicians of both parties. Does that make you nervous when you have a conservative blog saying you were tough on johnson or. You know what is ironic, we were very tough on ron johnson and then he would let me ride in the back of his vehicle that they were carting him around. John this is not screened. This is from wilhoml 71. Is there future for news or has tabloid run out. My issue with jodi arias was the four children where they would just do a little block where they were clearly naked. Just a little block. I dont want my kids to see that. Its so is a so salacious. There is nothing important here for the audience to dig into. I think it can. I look at some of the stories that weve done that have done very well. Our documentaries about race and racism, latino and america theyve donewe did a doc about women at ground zero, women who were rescue workers who felt their stories were written out of history. And we did a documentary about a mosque that was trying to expand, and this is the backlash that they were getting. Those did really well. People were interested in the debate and it had been done in an engaging and thoughtful way. They were interested. In social media you can bring more people in because they know whats going on, and they want to be part of the conversation. John is the commercial the reality that keeps the lights on that allows the serious reporting . Im not thats true. I dont know if someone would tell mei dont think there are some incredibly massive rating for jodi arias. I think it did perfectly fine, and there was nothing else, so everyone was covering it. John the gallup poll said that Current Affairs where 55 of american adults. That used to be 100. Percent. I would have thought it would have been lower. People are doing both. Very few people only get their information from twitter or from some type of social media but a lot are. If you talk to someone 18, 19, i roll out of bed and the first thing i do is check my twitter feed to see what people are talking about. I may not watch a news Program First thing in the morning. But sometimes i do turn on the tv. Thats how were used to getting our news but i think youre going to see a decline in that. I think youre going to see all of these Tech Companies are no Media Companies google, amazon yahoo. Com they have Massive Companies and theyre looking for smart content. John tell me about geography bee. There is Nothing Better than a smart 12yearold who can talk his or her way around amazing places. I sat in it when alex trebek retired. Im hoping with National Geographic we get to go on a mission, go to antarctica and do a story now since im the executive producer, i think that would be exciting. John its great to talk to you. I wanted you on this show since i took over. I begged and begged. I miss new the morning and its a pleasure to have you here. Thank you. John and for this moment i get my etchasketch moment. Soledad obrien americas primetime america tonight. Look for that among her reporting and moderating roles, thank you for oh joining me on viewpoint. Thank you for having me. John the plot to kill obamacare. vo current tv is the place for compelling true stories. kaj jack, how old are you . Nine. adam this is what 27 tons of marijuana looks like. vo with Award Winning documentaries that take you inside the headlines. Way inside. christoff were patrolling the area looking for guns, drugs bodies. adam were going to places where few others are going. [lady] you have to get out now. Lots of terrible things happen to people growing marijuana. This crop to me is my livelihood. Im being violated by the health care system. christoff we go and spend a considerable amount of time getting to know the people and the characters that are actually living these stories. vo from the underworld to the world of privilege. Everyone in Michael Jacksons life was out to use him. vo no one brings you more documentaries that are real, gripping, current. Occupy we will have class warfare. vo true stories, current perspective. Documentaries. On current tv. John welcome back. Its being called the opening of 2014. This new antiobamacare ad began airing today courtesy of the americans for prosperity benefactors, the Koch Brothers. Its smart pull at the Heart Springs featuring a young mom with a sick kid raising dubious claims about the Affordable Care act. I had questions about obamacare. If we cant pick our own doctor how do i know that my family will get the care we need, and what am i getting for higher premiums and a smaller paycheck. I think we deserve answers. John if your Insurance Company raises your premiums be ready to blame president obama and not your insurance. Lets bring in our friends the great Michael Tomasky welcome back to viewpoint. Always a pleasure. John great to have you. Michael, you wrote a great piece about this ad. While misleading there is nothing in the law that says you cant choose your own doctor, and underscores the fact that Many Americans are unfamiliar with the main aspects of this law. Whose fault is that . Gee is that really obamas fault . The administrations fault . Misinformation campaigns are rife and the fact that a lie can get way halfway around the world before i can even get my pants on, that can be true. They put out counter ads that are also reasonably effective. But when you have an attractive blond woman looking sincerely into a camera with a sick child saying things like that, people are going to believe it. John i heard the facts but i heard sad piano music, obama must be a bad man. Theyll focus on this how eliminates lifetime caps on health conversation. Before Obamacare Health Insurance Companies could put lifetime caps. And zoe was halfway through her cap before her first birthday. Obama ended lifetime caps. John its dueling white moms with adorable children. Do you think theyre going to be able to fight back against the Koch Brothers money and convince people that this law is a good thing in their lives . Its going to be hard, but the trench warfare in this fight is going to be over anecdotes like this and who tugs at the heartstrings more effectively. The woman in the pro obamacare tracy lynn, she spoke at the Democratic Convention in 2012 in charlotte. I happened to be in the hall when she spoke. She was unbelievably powerful. I thought from the moment i heard her, i thought boy they got to see if they can get her in a commercial, campaign commercial this year, which they did not i dont believe. But somebody at osa is on the balance, and got her to make this, what i think is a very effective ad. She was a very impressive person live. John theyre both quite effective. Were tracking where snowden is going to go, looking out for egypt and what is happening with the irs is this going to be the ads, aimed mostly at women. Yes to have so many doubts about the healthcare reform that they cant vote democratic or at least wont go to the polls. I think this might be the very well the Biggest Issue of the campaign. I dont think the republicans have much else. John exactly. The economy is getting better. The irs is turning out to be kind of a fizzle as a scandal. Benghazi isnt going anywhere. We havent heard much about that. I dont know what theyll be able to say about immigration the republicans if they kill the immigration bill in the house, theyll want to avoid that issue. What will they have . You run down the list of what they have, this is all they have. This is what theyll try to build their campaign around, scaring people about obamacare. John they just lost trying to scare people about obama i care, and this comes on the heels of the administration saying theyre going to delay that part of the law until 2015. How important is this development to the midterm elections, and why do you think the president made this decision . Well, he may have made the decision partly for election reasons. It may have been made because they realized this is a lot more complicated and going to be more complicated than they thought it was. The employer mandate piece of it i dont want to get too bogged down in the wonky details, but there was a big debate at the time and how it might have been structured, and how it might be beneficial to structure it in a different ways. We dont have time to go through all the details but we have to admit that the implementation of this law is going to be messy and its going to be very hard, and it is going to require there is no getting around this, it is going to require people who have not purchased insurance before to purchase it, and its going to take a chunk out of their aftertax income. There is just no way getting around that. Certain other Cable Networks are going to be able to find a lot of people like that out there in the country who are going to complain. John yes theyll complain about the healthcare that was implemented by republicans and implemented in massachusetts. Theyre not going to impeach him, are they just going to kamikaze his legacy . I think to some extent, yes they are. They dont have much else. They tried to kamikaze everything they could and they havent done much. They havent succeeded very much. They have harmed and slowed the recovery. Ive written that many times. But still we do have a recovery, however. Obama does have a number of legislative accomplishment. He did kilo sam bin laden. We havent had any terrorist attacks. Assuming that holds for the next three and a half years on the mainland, its just going to burn them. It will eat at them that he leaves office with a solid legacy and a decent approval rating, and being liked by the american people. Theyre just going to do whatever they can to knock that down. Obamacare is the bestave. John Michael Tomasky. Thank you for joining us on the show. Up next were going to visit wyoming for a frackin good time. Stick around. This show is about analyzing criticizing, and holding policy to the fire. Are you encouraged by what you heard the president say the other night . Is this personal or is it political . A lot of my work happens by doing the things that i am given to doing anyway. Staying in tough with everything that is going on politically and putting my own nuance on it. Not only does senator rubio just care about rich people but somehow he thinks raising the minimum wage is a bad idea for the middle class. But we do care about them, right . Vo the war room monday to thursday at 6 eastern view today our wtf america series visits the great state of wyoming, dick cheneys home state where fracking, the hydraulic drilling practice that turns the earth into a planetkilling nonequity production of stomp was thought to be the blame for polluting the town of pavilion wyoming. Thanks to fracking the towns Drinking Water came in several delicious flavors including methanemint arsenicorange, creamy copper and red velvet vanadium. But then the epa investigation abruptly stopped and was turned over to the state of wyoming Whose Research is funded by encana the same Drilling Company whose wells are accused of causing the contamination of the first place in related news, the Antidefamation League has put its Antisemitism Task force under the control of mel gibson. Please, do what you can to help prevent the Natural Gas Industry from making the planet earth its pitch. Go time. You know what time it is. Go time its go time. Its go time. What time is it rob . Here comes the young turks go time its go time. Oh is it . Oh, then its go time. Anybody . Anybody . What time is it . Oh, right. Its go time john the former host of the program youre currently watching is getting back into politics. Eliot spitzer is running for new York City Comptroller five years after he resigned as the states governor when from a tabloid conference of prostitution. Anthony weiner was forced from office and mark sanford that hopeless romantic is in congress after being seen. Lets go to our panel, basil smikle democratic strategist, and rick unga, forbes. Com contributor and tina dupuy a political consultant, all who are smarter than i. What do you think. Very much under the radar. Very well liked. Remains to be seen what kind of impression he has made in the outer boroughs. But eliot has name recognition and for comptroller, i think they would support him. With the lower names on the ballot, name recognition is key so yeah. John mr. Unga. Ungar ungar. Im going to be contrary. People forget before the scandal broke, he was truly disliked. As governor. He wasnt doing so bad in the outlying areas but people hated him in the city. John he was respected in many quarters for taking on wall street asfer rochely as ferociously as he did and i would be saying that even if i didnt have his name on my mug. But they talk about how they drove him from office. They used the patriotic act what they tried to do to bill clinton, thats what they did. It wont be the scandal that will be his problem. Youve seen the impression on going after wall street. If we think that wall street has changed a little bit so hassleout, toohaseliot, too. I dont think he would be bad at the job. John now the governor is coming back from a prostitution scandal, much like david vitter. Bazzzelle,basil, youre a former adviser in the 24 7 news cycle, are we going to be numb to scandals . Or does it have to be money. I think substance matters most, then money. But i do believe were becoming desensitized. People are putting everything about themselves, pictures of going back to weiner, pictures of their body, its all over facebook and twitter, we are a little desensitized to it but when you talk about voters in new york they want substance more than anything else. Theyll get past the scandals in a week or two, and Start Talking about issues. But the reality is were a bit desensitized. Thats unfortunate but its the truth. John they want toughness in new york and both mr. Spitzer and weiner fits that bill. I dont think the winier story has to do with sex. There is sex involved. I think he was a man who was isolateed in congress. He had few friends. Then he went on television with his final couple of friends in the media to lie his butt off. John indeed. Then he really had no friends, and no one wanted to talk to him. Thats the bigger story here. It had very little to do with his weird twitter thing, which was bizarre and the fact that he mate breitbart, he elevated breitbart by this scandal. There are so many different things. I think its a misnomer to call this a sex scandal what weiner did. A politician politician imploding on himself. John we talk about applications getting second chances, and there are politicians who got away with it david vitter. John ensign got out of office when he chose to leave office. Heres what is different about john edwards. I think scandals are so overrated when it comes to figuring out if people will run again for office. Scandals are all about the joys of tabloids. If you think that a candidate is going to put money in your pocket and youre going to vote for him. Except for john edward. Its not that he cheated on his wife. Its that he cheated on his wife while she was dying. That you cannot come from. Plus he misused funds. John if youre a republican there were sex tapes and so many more things. John would republicans forgive gay sex scandals, talking about foley or our friend in minnesota craig. We dont know. We have to see if either of them chose to run again. Theyve never put it to the test, so we really dont know. But we do know that mark sanford was reelected. There is only one thing worse than a republican who cheats, and thats a democrat. John i realize that. I just like to say republican gay sex scandal. Its time to check out the days media question. Could a female run after a sex scandal. And the answer is no. Helen chen witt, but deena, is there really a double standard . Could a high profile family politician recover from a sex scandal like so many of these men are able to . We dont have enough data to answer that. We might be able to answer that in a couple of years when there are more female leaders. Helen chenoweth had no problem getting reelected. If. Shes going to put money in my pocket. John yes, and i think people circle the wagons. Dont go with a so my guests can post instagram of their junk. Well be right back. Compelling true stories. Jack, how old are you . Nine. This is what 27 tons of marijuana looks like. vo with Award Winning documentaries that take you inside the headlines, way inside. vo from the underworld, to the world of privilege. Everyone in Michael Jacksons life was out to use him. vo no one brings you more documentaries that are real, gripping, current. I think its brilliant. vo first, news and analysis from an emmy winning insider. I know this stuff, and i love it. vo followed by humor and politics with a west coast edge. Bill press and stephanie miller. What a way to start the day. This show is about analyzing criticizing, and holding policy to the fire. Are you encouraged by what you heard the president say the other night . Is this personal or is it political . A lot of my work happens by doing the things that i am given to doing anyway. Staying in tough with everything that is going on politically and putting my own nuance on it. Not only does senator rubio just care about rich people but somehow he thinks raising the minimum wage is a bad idea for the middle class. But we do care about them, right . Vo the war room monday to thursday at 6 eastern john welcome back to viewpoint. Arrest as basil smikle said, i need two cameras. We found out today. [ laughing ] we found out today that rick perry is capable of ending some things in his third term like his governorship. He announced that he wont run for another term as texas governor, will he be a force to reckon in the president ial campaign of 2016 . What does this mean for the g. O. P. In texas. There is a third question, but i cant recall it, lets lets go to our panel for their take. Basil smikle, and tina dupuy and rick ungar, what is next for rick perry. Im thrilled to have him run for president gain. He had the smartest precampaign that weve seen in history. Will he Fund Fundraise or will he go off and join a think tank. The nonthinking think tank. Yeah, i think hell taste the waters for the next couple of years. Hell see if there is money to be raised. Rick perry ran for all the anticipation in that campaign cycle, if you remember the g. O. P. Was waiting for rick perry to come in, and then he fell flat. I had never seen someone fall so flat so quickly. He has so much ground to make up to get his name back from the expectation of 2012. Has he not been doing it . These abortion wars in texas are solidifying his base. And this bring your business to texas, it was showing im a good governor for business. Thats the thing. If case we perfect he was too liberal for the republicans in in 2012. He didnt hate mexicans. He didnt kill enough prisoners. He was too friendly with immigrants. He has had to double down and cow tokowtow to the right wing. Heres what we know about rick perry. He can put together a Good Campaign as you suggest. He cannot be a good candidate. There is a big difference there. I assure you he will not be working at a think tank. John maybe he has the new pharmacists since the last campaign. We are three years away, and a recent poll of texans show they strongly preferred ted cruz for president. A partial listing of responses. Rick perry placed seventh after the very popular someone else not sure. I mean take a look at this. How damaging was rick perrys perrys 2012 president ial run . I could be wrong about this. It was terribly damaging. Overmedicated, over liquid, over whatever, he was a horrible candidate. He can put together a campaign. He can get money but he cant be a good candidate. There is no getting around it. John tina, the fact that he has announced hes not going to run for a fourth term in texas is this good news for wendy davis. I think this is a great narrative story in the media. Its a fantastic story that we can all talk about but i dont think there is anything behind it. I would love that to be true, but i just dont see it. This is a state that could be blue in the next decade or so, and this could be the first time we see it. Yes shes not corey booker. Corey can attract a lot of funds nationally and use that as a stepping stone. Senator davis had that phenomenal opportunity the filibuster, she could use that, she could use that as a stepping stone, but we dont know what the views in texas are we dont knowknow how texans feel about her. Shes been terrific the last couple of weeks but you cannot become the first democratic governor of texas on one issue. Especially when youre a National Celebrity and a lot of voters may hate you for that. John liz cheney, the daughter of former Vice President dick cheney is planning a run for wyoming senator. The problem is dads friend, mike enzi doesnt want to lose his job. Are we headed to a showdown. Everything about this story upsets me. The fact that she just moved to wyoming last year. After her stint in new york. But her dad never lived in wyoming. He had just moved there. The fact that wyoming has more senators than congress people. Everything about this story makes you not like the senate, and really have to relive what youwhat we all should be embarrassed by the bushcheney years. Shell never beat mike enzi in a primary. You dont challenge uncle mike, particularly when the man has never cast a vote you can disagree with. Is her father giving her terrible advice, im sure she wouldnt have done this and made this i am i am petulant imii ami am petulant claim claim{ l }. Shes no hillary clinton. Shes not the celebrity that hillary was to be able to topple an incumbent. John but anyone who can go on fox news and say we were not attacked by terrorists during bushs term and come back, that shows mojo. Its an excuse to get her on national television. Even if she doesnt this is her her, shes on sunday shows. John i think shell be kept busy. Lets go back to czechoslovakia. John dont go away. Well talk about religious fundamentalism in all its forms right after this. Young turks is that were honest. They know that im not bsing them with some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. When the democrats are wrong, they know that im going to be the first one to call them out. They can question whether im right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us. You know who is coming on to me now . You know the kind of guys that do reverse mortgage commercials . Those types are coming on to me all the time now. vo she gets the comedians laughing and the thinkers thinking. Ok, so theres wiggle room in the ten commandments, thats what youre saying. You would rather deal with ahmadinejad than me. Absolutely. And so would mitt romney. vo shes joy behar. And the best part is that current will let me say anything. What the hell were they thinking . John we hear a lot about dog whistle politics used against president obama. Well last week fox news nations website turned the dog whistle to a wolf call. Obamabacked Muslim Brotherhood president. Overthrown egypt. Obama was the democratically elected president of the country. But our extremely conservative religious folks really dont like their extreme conservative religious folks over there. They like their fundamentalists as long as its us, and not them. They demand a separation of mosque and state over there. We have our own christian brotherhood, only theyre not very christian and a lot of them dont like brothers. But its hard to compare the right wing america to right wing of the middle east because they have a lot of in common. They claim theyre on gods side and it makes it difficult for everyone else on planet earth. They all hate each other and they dont care how how many of us get killed in their cross fires. There are five Little Things that unite all these different fundamentalists no matter the religion. Number one, the gay thing. No matter what youre faced christian jewish, muslim, hindu, the more people eight gay people, god cant stand gays but cant stop creating them and needs to you clean up his mess. The more conservative your faith is no matter what your religion is, this is what you have in common. Number two the womanhating thing. Women in religious sects the ultra orthodox of many faiths never run out of reasons why women are not quite as good as men. If you fall the bible women are cursed cant speak in temple. When they have a child theyre unclean for twice as long, and they have childbirth was eve was suckered by a snake, and no knob no job. The more conservative you are in religion the more you get to look down on other religions as inferior. If you believe your religion alone is your one true devotion, then you believe you speak for god. And youre not going to sit down and speak with an infidel never mind youre not going to worship the same god, some people think youre going to hell because your parents put you in the wrong fan club. They all believe they smite because got smite. And they believe they have a get out of hell free card. And the fifth trait of every fundy, the endless sex hang ups. Men enjoying sex, women enjoying sex, animals enjoying sex in the Christian Faith jesus not too many sex hangups but st. Paul, the p. R. Guy, a lot of them. And if god hated sex he would have found a boring for pro creation. There are many differences in world religious. The greatest thing that religious fundamentalist, they dont think theyre better than you. They think god thinks theyre better than you. Basil where can we find you. On basil on Twitter Facebook and www. Basilsmikle www. Basilsmikleassociates. Com. And tina dupuy. They can go to my website at tina dupuy. Com. Rick had to leave. Its a pleasure to have you here. Six more weeks. God night, mom. Joy tonight on say anything, Eliot Spitzer said hes running for new York City Comptroller. Now that he has thrown his black socks in the ring, can we forgive client number nine. And jane, its plastic surgery, no one walks in and says give me the joslyn face. And alec baldwin is in trouble again this time for threatening a reporter on twitter. Alec, if youre watching, your brother steve is the crazy one. Not you. All that tonight
