Theron born in south america, makes her the whitest South African ever. And it is this point, its so painful, its like watching rod stewart on stage. Anthony, stop, stop, stop. This is viewpoint. Good evening, im john if you fugelsang. Ill honored to have with us a man who was the host of his own show called the dick cavett show, which aired for 12 years. From icons to politicians, this show gave a platform for personalities to speak freely on a scale you never see today. Take a look. Suppose someone said to you you got to loosen up, i know you got to work, but lets go out and get drunk and sniff cocaine. Thats what everybodys doing. I dont believe everybodys doing that. I wont do it. Ive got plenty of Energy Without it. Cold sober, i find myself absolutely fascinating. [ laughter ] yoko sat in that very chair. Why dont you look at your question sheet and ask a question . Can i talk to the audience. Why dont you fold it five ways and put it where the moon dont shine . His most recent book is called talk show, confrontations, pointed commentary and off screen secrets. Its a collection of articles he wrote for the new york times, funny story telling with a blush from woody allen, its a thrill whenever he can join us. Welcome back. I want to hear i did from you, crew, our friend, dick cavett. [ cheers and applause ] you certainly treat your guests lovely. Is the cold coffee to your liking . The coffee is cold, the mug cold and the lady who brought it wasnt so hot. Thats how the governor likes it. We have the most beautiful staff of soon to be Unemployed People in the history of cable. Dick, you just saw the montage, all those clips of your show would definitely be called edgy by todays standards. Yeah. Do you think that you could ever get away with could anyone get away with doing a talk show like that today . I dont know. People oft say to me there isnt a show like this you say and i havent had the with it to stop them and say exactly why that is or im not entirely certain that what i did is lacking. I did what interested me. I didnt set out to do, i certainly didnt want to be called an intellectual, because partly, i felt sorry for anyone who thought i was one, so obviously had never seen a real one like Jonathan Miller or somebody, but i dont know. I just did what i thought would interest me and others, and. Was it more like an organic product of the tiles, going through vietnam, nixon, people are engaged, protests all over the country. Was it just a natural response . It might have been in the sense you sort of mentioned there because of the fact that it just happened to happen during the assassination season, one after the other, we had vietnam, we had nixon, and we had watergate, and other incidents that most young people today dont know what the hell youre talking about. I was in as the chinese proverb says interesting times, a thing you want to avoid. That indicate help burn interview. We do an edge i didnt show, but i dont know if i could get away with asking dame judy determining if shes done coke. All in the family couldnt get on the air today, nor could the did he ever sons. I thought you were going to say dame judith anderson, best known in the hitchcock who have vias mrs. Danvers and taking just park it anywhere, judy. Last night on the tonight show, president obama stopped by to put the country at ease over everything. This is how president s speak to the people now. Lets take a look. Hmm. Terrorists depend on the idea that were going to be tries, and were going to live our lives, but there are things we can do to make sure were keeping the pressure on these networks that would try to injury americans and the first thing i think about when i wake up and the last thing i think about when i go to bed is making sure im doing everything i can to keep americans safe. I wasnt born when nixon went on laughin, but what do you think of a president going on to a late night comedy talk show . I certainly dont see anything wrong with it, if you know that thats where the people are, and thats a good thing to do. He should go on all of them. I dont quite understand the idea that this is a deadly serious situation, but dont be afraid to go there and travel, just be sensible and use common sense, and are you supposed to go to the middle east and avoid anyone with a beard . They are saying avoid the middle east altogether right now. Go down to dark alley, dont do that, and here i am, and im unarmed and im an american and sing god save the country. I dont understand. I gave leno points for asking the president is all this sub at her final to distract us from the n. S. A. Scandals. David gregory would not ask that tough a question on meed the press. Good to jay for that, good on jay in the old slang. A president risks that sort of thing. When nixon went on, everything had to be cleared beforehand, and they threw out his charming people, i called them, that would go over questions and throw out press questions that he was not to be asked. Not that nixon, im sorry, the great un indicted coconspirator had anything to hide, god knows. Well, and you were on his enemies list. Well, i hate to disappoint you. I saw a copy of the alleged enemies list and although i didnt make it, i did one day have the shock of being met by a mysterious limousine in los angeles, the beginning of a mystery novel. A guy sits down beside me, i dont know who he is, theyre taking me to a t. V. Show supposedly, but then flips open a laptop, theres richard mill house nixon, h. R. Haldeman in thevalue office. This is from the nixon audiotapes. What is cavett, anyway, oh, hes the worst. Its on you tube, you can find it easily. Better than an oscar, better than an emmy was hearing the leader of the free world say a little chillingly to me at the moment, cavett, there must be something we can do to screw him. Yep. He found out. Do you know what it is . I dont think i ever told you. No. He liked screwing people and punishing people with the i. R. S. I found out that several years after the event somebody on my staff said to somebody else on my staff, former staff, i got audited. So did i. And then they checked with a third party. The son of a the president audited my entire staff, hurting some of the people on lower levels. Can you imagine that happening now . It it all the time, of course. This president , can you imagine a president getting away with that now . Youve been in this business so long as a writer, performer, producer, has t. V. Gotten dumber, or was it always this dumb . There were times when you thought it cant get any dumber and i can resist calling it dumb in the sense that like any formal, any literary form, any art formal, any sport, there is eight to 10 at the top that is just wonderful, and the rest is crap. Most music is great, some is good. The thing that is different now is you cant hide anything. What do you mean . I mean its on the net, its findsal. Those conversations of ours that we know theyre not actually getting at, ha ha and whos the in it witthenitwit out there. Philmer in san diego. Why couldnt he be arrested . Has he done anything illegal . Well, 70 years old and wants to the state to pay for his Sexual Harassment training, because he never knew it was wrong to chase a woman around a desk. Cenk who was it who said im sure it was steven colbert, said his excuse is that he didnt get Sexual Harassment training. Wouldnt it be better to give him nonSexual Harassment training. Has politics gotten more course, has it gone downhill since the days of nixon. Having crappy people in politics has been as long since it began. The fact that some of them are getting well, maybe the message in one quirky way today is to young people, if you want weird sex, go into politic. How many people can we name today. Im not going to touch that with a 10foot coffee mug. Do you happen to know if wiener has done anything illegal . No, he is the first sexual scandal to have no sex. We all photograph our sexual organs, but we dont send them out. If a girl on line asks to see pictures of your junk, they probably have their own junk. I have my own junk dealer. You will be back later in the show. Will i . Yes, you will indeed. Up next, jim norton is back. Hes so good. Hes brilliant as are you. Youll be back later in the show. Well put you altogether. Dont go anywhere. They should selfdeport . No, they said make us a turkey and make it fast. laughter . She gets the comedians laughing. Thats the best thats hilarious. And the thinkers thinking. Okay, so there is wiggle room in the Ten Commandments is what youre telling me. Shes joy behar. Ya, i consider you jewtalian. Okay, whatever you want. Who plays kafka . Who saw kafka . Who ever saw kafka . laughter . Asking the tough questions. Chris brown, i mean you wouldnt let one of your daughters go out with him. Absolutely not. You would rather deal with ahmadinejad then me . Absolutely singing i take lipitor, thats it. Are you improving your lips . laughter . When shes talking, you never know where the conversation is going to go. It looks like Anthony Wiener is throwing his hat in the ring. His what in the ring . His hat. Always outspoken, joy behar. And the best part is that current will let me say anything. What the hell were they thinking . Only on current tv. vo later tonight, current tv is the place for 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 with a washington perspective 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. Welcome back to viewpoint. Charlie rangel said dike that. Hes been on the show. He sounds like the guy from cradle of filth. Nothing will happen to charlie. I see it all the time. If youre republican, you make a Statement Like that, its over. I mean, you are finished. If youre a conservative, the further right you are, the worth it gets, so its a very rough double its a double standard. Ok, so we are now saying that saying the n. Word to an oppressed minority is the same as saying cracker to a historically oppressive majority. What are the ramifications of speech or the cost that entertainers face when they speak freely . This next guys been doing that for nears. Jim tore to kno norton is a com. The new pope i like. I was hoping for a black pope. I think its time and he would already own his own red shoes, purple robes and bulletproof car. [ applause ] i hope i didnt offend the one black person in attendance. Jim, welcome back to viewpoint. Thank you. I just caught myself on camera, what a donees i look like, staring at the ceiling lights. You look terrific, you lost like 30 pounds. Yeah. How did you do it no. I just hit the game, going to the game, eating better, thats it. I had a moment of clarity, just walked by the mirror nude and i literally was like ugh, i cant do this anymore, so i started going to the game and got trainers. You look great. Thank you. What do you think of what donald trump said . Is that a fair equivalency that saying cracker is as bad as saying anything . Its not as bad but hes right. The bias comes from, Charlie Rangel didnt oppress me. Charlie dean said something 30 years ago and her dumb face is on the front of every newspaper. 1espn anchor yelled that and its on page 19 of the post. That was a black espn anchor saying it to a black espn anchor. There were seven things nobody could say across the board. It was a speech issue and that was it. Now were going to break down sub categories, youre black and you can say this, youre not africanamerican, so you cant say that. Its nonsense. You cant ever honor peoples boundaries with that stuff, because most people of frauds in their outrage. I agree, the false umbrage industry is alive in america. I much more enjoy the consequences of free speech. When it comes to a word like the n. Thing, would you agree that its all about audience context and purpose. Its like any other word, sure it is. It bugs me when i see white comics using it just because they want to be the white guy who got away with it. Im himmer now, the black guys let me. If youre going to say it, if theres a purpose for it and the purpose is legitimate, and the audience will sense if youre legitimate or being a fraud, then you should say it. I hate n word, because everybody says it altogether the time. Its enough already. I try to be sensitive given the context. Theres times when its ok to talk about it in an academic context. We are going to have john lennon saying it on dick cavetts show. We know where comedys stand on free speech. Should politicians be held to a higher standard no. I dont think so. Year a country of liars. We deserve who we get. We tell that you if you tell the truth and its unpleasant, were going to allow you to be lynched. You know, Anthony Wiener, like all right, maybe he made some dumb moves, but literally, every guy pretending they dont understand why a guy would do that . Exactly. Even if you dont cheat, dont look at Anthony Wiener and say how could you do it. He has a phone with a camera, thats how. When your job depends on getting nice middle aged people to vote four, its not illegal, but its creepy, probably for toxic to people than crime. The public needs to be honest. The public deserve the liars, because the public lies. We sit there and allow you to be lynched when weve done the staple stuff. Nobody sticks up for anybody anymore. Nobody comes out and says what paula deen said thats piggish and terrible, but ive said stupid things, too. Nobody comes out when a guy does this. We dont own up to our own crap. Paula deen has been prejudiced of all americanss arteries. Shes killing people slowly. I wanted to talk about the concept of free speech more. One of my favorite things in radio was your Famous Exchange with governor jesse ventura. That got ugly. He was talking about his beliefs that 9 11 was an inside job. I was talking about, jesse, we interviewed jesse three times. The third time, im not a conspiracy guy. Im one of the three people left who does believe oswald shot j. F. K. We got into this nasty exchanges and he called me a name and i called him a name and he called me a name and i called him a nail. Jesse ventura doesnt like follow up questions. Hes not dumb, but when he said oswald never could have made that shot, i said technically, he was a shortstop shooter, ok, you would know. Where do i go with that . How do you follow that . We got into a very nasty argument. When he walks out, he goes thanks for your service, he patted me. He wasnt threatening me, but he was alpha maling me. He was putting it out there. Hes a good guy at heart, i think, but yeah, he has his insecurities and tries to overcompensate. I felt he was being an alpha. I wasnt going to touch jesse the body ventura, so i insulted him and he got livid. He was standing staring at me in the door. I thought he was going to throw his water bottle at my face, it made for great radio, but its one of the few frightening moments i had. He could pick me up by the ankles and sling me through the wall. We were talking about the president going on leno last night. How did you feel about him saying that at no point has the government spied on americans . I didnt hear him say that, because i didnt watch it. Maybe they havent. Maybe technically they just ever access to the emails, but i dont care. Good for the n. S. A. , have everyones email. I love what the n. S. A. Did. I love it, because were a nosey country. We stick our faces in everybodys back yard. I dont mean public figures on the beach. I mean alec baldwins private phone calls to his daughter, mel gibsons private phone calls, tiger woods private messages and nobody screams about privacy. Exactly right. Nobody. Hey, what about my email. We cant get enough of your dirt, but if its our dirt, were innocenced. Until the public stands up and stops being such pigs with mels phone calls and alec baldwins phone calls, i have no mercy for their privacy. I understand the difference between the government do it and voyeurism with a celebrity. Its good for people to feel under attack like that when theyve been doing it for years. You want to stick around and talk to dick cavett. Thats all i want to talk about is dick cavett. Jim will be back in a few minutes. His special, jim norton, american degenerate is essential viewing for all of you filthy liberals. Friday august 23. Coming up, its video you deeply want to miss, but watch it anyway, trust me. 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 im given to doing anyway, by staying in touch with everything that is going on politically and putting my own nuance on it. In reality its not like they actually care. This is purely about political grandstanding. Ive worn lots of hats, but ive always kept this going. Ive been doing politics now for a vo hes been called the epic politics man. Hes Michael Shure and his arena is the war room. These republicans in congress that think the world ends at the Atlantic Ocean border and Pacific Ocean border. The bloggers and the people that are sort of compiling the best of the day. I do a lot of looking at those people as well. 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 . cenk its go time its go time its go time 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 if you were to put together a list of things that should be separated, church and state is a good example. Russian recruiters and hiphop, please keep these entities separated from how to on, and heres why. That believe it or not is a military recruitment video. The best way are a rally your asian roof for freezing siberian military service is get a bureaucrat to sit in front of a green screen and rhyme about how Russian Military service is awesome. Snowden applied in writing for asylum. What he needed to do was drop some fast piece, word or whatever word is in russian. And very proud of that. Beltway politics from inside the loop. We tackle the big issues here in our nations capital, around the country and around the globe. Dc columnist and four time emmy winner bill press opens currents morning news block. Well do our best to carry the flag from 6 to 9 every morning. 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 anything. What the hell were they thinking . vo later tonight, current tv is the place for 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. Back now with our guest, jim norton and dick cavett and also joining us, old friend of the show, comedian jim david, author of the recent book, youll be swell. Jim, thank you so much for joining. I get to be on the show with dick cavett and jim norton and you. Im just thrilled. Whats so hat about me . Please. Im excited because finally a bunch of white guys get to express their opinion honest t. V. With two of us wearing jackets. I know. Im wearing a tie just to show im in line with the man. I was fascinated by what you were saying, because i find the infantilism of saying the n. Word, that it endows it with the great majesty. Also if you give a code of something in a similar sense to the letters s. L. O. Are read more slowly than s. L. O. W. Is, that little step you have to take from n. Word to [bleep] puts it more strongly with you. Im glad you said that, because its walking a line of wanting to keep it real, but be respectful so you dont hurt feelings. I want to start, we talked about Political Correctness and we talked about rangel and the cracker comments. I want to flashback 40 years ago when this man had john lennon and yoko on his show and john had his own runin with the n. Word and came on dicks show to talk about it. You have a record here that theres some explanation, because theres a bit of heckling about whether it can be said or not. Every other record. This is a song about the womens problem. It was written by yoko and i, called womens [bleep] of the world. There were a few people that reacted strangely to it, but usually they were white and male. Its a great song. If you dont know it, download it now. Whenever i talk to africanamerican academics, they always, i hear the same refrain, audience in tent and purpose. Why you are saying it . It really as George Carlin used to say, its the intent of the racist d bag saying it. Its white folks again, deciding that wore people should say. Im an adopted crow indian and a sioux. They hate each others guts. Which charged always said my greatest pride is that i have never shaken hands with a crow, but they all say can you do anything about this native american phrase. We are indian people. Weve always been indian people, but no one thinks they came from karachi or bombay. Native means born in. You and i and crazy horse are all equally native americans. I have no problem calling them indigenous people. If aliens came down and put us on native reservations and called us native martians, jim, you are not a safe comedian, but are there topics that you would ever be afraid to touch . You cant be. After 9 11, we didnt go on stage and start blasting from the lips. There are times you have to rethink what you want to say and get the point across. Pedestrian feel i cant, rape, murder, drunk driving, johnny core san said behind every joke, if you go deep enough, theres something unpleasant. Its about the quality of the actual joke. I saw leno last night. He said a really great thing that i want to repeat about how like the politics behind it, the in tent, if the joke is good, if the joke works, then it works, and it doesnt matter how controversial the subject matter is at all. Tradition is in this country a great political commentary from jay bruce. Motor sal. Bill hicks and of course with you be mr. Cavett, who nick son deeply hated, it continues today. What are the risks of doing political material besides your jokes having a shelf life of two weeks. At some point i do political jokes, because youre going to alienate one half of your audience or another. He did them all the time. They were pretty mild. If its a good joke. He was a god of mine, every time he came up and said hey, my man, how are you. I thought he knows my name. The thing is that a great quote from mark twain against the assault of humor, nothing can stand. I love it. I love it. I think thats why people thats why by the end of the play, the only person the king trusts is the fool. Thanks why people are trusting comedians like stewart and colbert. Carlin said you dont talk down to the audience. Theres nothing worse than a guy who thinks hes a genius preaching to them. You can only preach to the choir. You cant preach to someone who doesnt share your point of view. When the whole crowd agrees, thats fun. Ill do a political joke and go huh . Am i right, folks, and that usually gets them going. [ laughter ] youre a bully. The point you make about the applause is the worst, because like you say, i think so and so blah blah blah and then the audience is like well, i agree with that. You havent told a joke. Im against killing puppies. You havent told a joke, just made a statement. Theres nothing more boring than a comedian making a statement. Theres no artistry. When geniuses like nickels and may and woody allen came along, every village comic to sound like he was in their school would mention koskis. Whats it going to make woody stand up again . Who are you enjoying . I know a lot of comics and i like some of them. It would be a bit foolish of me to pick three. How about if i force you to throw one out. Stand up comics . Or t. V. Hosts. Dole about her makes me laugh so much and the only problem with knowing him is that he isnt funny all the time in person, proving that hes human. His work is ordered, i think. I dont know anybody, even fred allen, possibly oscar wild, who has come up with some of the most brilliant ad libs. Who do you like . Best stand up is collin quinn. I hate saying that, he is my friend. Hes creepy. Collin quinn is it . Yes. I hope hes watching. He really is. He knows what i think of him. Who do you like politically . Lewis black. Oh, hes great. Will witness has always been my favorite. We have him here with us next week. Next, we discuss how the geopolitical landoscopy of the middle east is affecting politics here and were going to make dick jokes about Anthony Wiener. Stick around. Converstion started weekdays at 9am eastern. Im a slutty bob hope. You are. The troops love me. vo tv and radio talk show host Stephanie Miller rounds out currents morning news block. Youre welcome current tv audience for the visual candy. Just be grateful current tv does not come in smellivision. The sweatshirt is nice and all, but i could use a golden lasso. vo only on current tv. 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 im given to doing anyway, by staying in touch with everything that is going on politically and putting my own nuance on it. In reality its not like they actually care. This is purely about political grandstanding. Ive worn lots of hats, but ive always kept this going. Ive been doing politics now for a dozen years. vo hes been called the epic politics man. Hes Michael Shure and his arena is the war room. These republicans in congress that think the world ends at the Atlantic Ocean border and Pacific Ocean border. The bloggers and the people that are sort of compiling the best of the day. I do a lot of looking at those people as well. 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 . Welcome back to viewpoint. Former congressman and mayoral candidate anthony weeper slipped up in public. It was a comment that was below the belt and no the his camera. At an aarp event, thats crucial, wiener was caught on camera sparring with a republican rival for new york mayor, george mcdonalds. Ok. Really . Yeah, appreciate the comment. Ok, grandpa. He called a 69yearold grandpa at an aarp event. To call anthony wieber a bottom feeder is an insult to carp. Jim norton, you all know him from the openy and anthony show on satellite radio. Dick cavett, cultural icon, yadayada and dick, ive been dying to talk about Anthony Wiener to you. Is he just trying to test his own limits of douche bagry. He is a loon with mental problems. I would love to know what sort of people are saying hes fine, let him go. You want him making serious political decisions when his crotch starts tingling again and he has to go in the other room and humiliate his wife and family again . You make it tough to follow, there. I dont care either way. Hes a kind of microcosm of what they all are. They all are we shocked by any of these people. They have crappy friends, im not concerned with their friends. As long as theyre not pedophiles or rapists or hurting people, i dont care, they are all liars and creeps. If we accept that, well stop judging them on this crap and just get to. Policies. If you think of the iceberg, wiener is the tip of. More like a popsicle, dick. What were you going to say . If Anthony Wiener had gone to a normal hooker like a normal congressman, hed still be in the house. Is it just comedians that want him to stay in the race. What i was going to say before, its the lying that bothers me. When he was caught with the texting, its the flatout lie that go bothered me. What were you going to say, do comedians want him to stick around . I dont care, im not going to do a joke about him. Its shooting fish in a barrel. New yorkers will forgive, what they will not forgive is a serial b. S. Artist. Also this thing that he said to this guy at the aarp, calling him grandpa shows that he has no class. He has no class. The one thing i like about the president is his eventemperedness. You never see him fly off the handle. True. Thats what they want him to do, but hes too smart for. You see all those other people show you what jerks they are. What happened to its like that song in chicago, now everybody you watch has got his brains in his crotch. You know, what became of class . Thanks for the reference. Exactly. Im a homosexual. [ laughter ] youre for diverse city, jim. Youre not one of those. I am one of those. What nixon would think of that, right . Right. During the age of nixon, what would happen if a politician had done Something Like this. 40 years ago puts us where . 1972, 1973. I think it would have been more surprising than now, when its in a circle of people doing similar things before and aft. Whos the old fart who jumped in the fountain with the girlfriend . Mills and fox. Thank you, memory. Could you get an expert on to tell us all where in the psychological spectrum wiener lies and the goof with whats his name, what hes got his 14th woman today . Thats what i want to bring up next. Isnt there a touch of sociopathy, no sense of how youre hurting other people, wounding the wife, who has to read his emails, i want to spread your legs and. Dot dot dot. Youre in luck, because i have a good answer. Theres no difference between this, its just in this generation, the technology exists now where people who are younger are very used to it, but people in my age group, we grew up without it and now we have it and were not handling it well. J. F. K. And r. F. K. Were sleeping with the biggest star in hollywood and people kept it secret. Its just that the information is passed differently now. Wiener is no different than any other creep or pig who held office. Its easier to get caught now. You could say the same thing with r. F. K. Arched j. F. K. They protected him, too, the press protected him. In the case of wiener, he alienated his professional allies so much. No ones endorsing him for mayor. Dick, you brought up bob fifner, now a 14th woman has come out against him, hes trying to make the state paying for his Sexual Harassment training, saying he didnt know he shouldnt chase women around a desk. Its a great name, fillner. Thats why youre dick cavett and im not. You will be. Isnt it nice that the sex scandals are back to democrats now. Pass it around. It is nice, getting caught in a mens room, i love nothing more. The larry craig thing. Thats the irony if that its larry craig, he actually was looking for sex in a mens room, got to keep his job. Anthony weeper had no sex, is probably never going to again and lost his job. Maybe its because that when like david bitter still has a job, the senator, who patronized the processes and maybe the republicans pitch a bigger fit when a democratic does it than the democrats pitch a fit that the republicans republicans go for the jugular, they really democrats make it easy. Yeah. How much of a good send for my friend, the man whos name appears on these mugs Eliot Spitzer in his race for comptroller that Anthony Wiener keeps digging a hole deeper. Its very rare when you prostitute as a governor that you can run against somebody worse. Its got to be a tremendous thing to have somebody in the ring. Kristin davis is running for comptroller. Thats the coolest thing. He should run as her lt. Governor. When she was running for governor, she asked me to run for her as lt. Governor. I thought about it, but my mind went a little bit too oriented, dont do it. Dont you think youre grateful to wiener, because he made spitzers sins look like huckleberry finns. Its obvious that spitzer is overqualified and wiener underqualified. Who do you like for president as comedians and wits in 2016. Id pick ted new jersey generality for the republicans and Kristin Davis for the democrats. Im going to ask you seriously. Seriously . Oh, god. Its probably going to be hillary clinton, i would assume and for the republicans, i think it might be rand paul. I dont know. I dont know who theyve got. They may have an obama like figure come out from nowhere. I dont know. Jim, who do you like. Probably not a democratic or republican, even though thats whos going to win again. I would somebody libertarian or somebody a little different, because its repulsive on both sides. Who . You have the two time new mexican governor running and they wouldnt let him on the debates. I would like to see him run again. I like ron paul. He seemed to know what he was talking about and felt different. Dick, you get the last word. A country that began with jefferson, franklin, lincoln, hamilton and look at what we have today, what can we learn from this . Darwin was wrong. I want to thank my truly Historic Panel and our third Party President got into the white house with 30 of the vote, it was republican and lincoln. It could happen again. I was going to say that. My dad was a history teacher. Im trying to earn his love. Thank you guys so much. Thank you for having us on. Probably was the most fun episode of the show ive done. Coming up, the tea party is not going anywhere and the lefts couldnt be happy about it. The f. Bomb is next. 1 thing than viewers like about the young turks is that were honest. They know that im not bsing them for some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. When the democrats are wrong, they know im going to be the first one to call them out. Cenk on air whats unacceptable is how washington continues to screw the middle class over. Cenk off air i dont want the middle class taking the brunt of the spending cuts and all the different programs that wind up hurting the middle class. Cenk on air you got to go to the local level, the state level and we have to fight hard to make sure they cant buy our politics anymore. Cenk off air and they can question if im right about that. But i think the audience gets that, i actually mean it. Cenk on air 3 trillion dollars in spending cuts narrator uniquely progressive and always topical, the Worlds Largest online news show is on current tv. Cenk off air and i think the audience gets, this guys to best of his abilities is trying to look out for us. Only on current tv did anyone tell the pilgrims they should selfdeport . No, they said make us a turkey and make it fast. laughter . She gets the comedians laughing. Thats the best thats hilarious. And the thinkers thinking.

It looks like Anthony Wiener is throwing his hat in the ring. His what in the ring . His hat. Always outspoken, joy behar. And the best part is that current will let me say anything. What the hell were they thinking . Only on current tv. A lot of people would like the tea party to shut up and go away. Its made up of fox viewers who fight for the rich to pay less in taxes. Maybe they dont like the members of the tea party of whiter than gossip girls. I never understood the name. The Boston Tea Party was american columnists protesting the British Government and big corporation. This modern tea party is american citizens dressed at chronnists protesting the American Government for big corporation, but taking heat from establishment democrats and republicans. Charlie rangel said you are the same white that we fought against in the civil rights amendment. Karl rove said they are not sophisticated. Then you got those calling you tea baggers. The real tea baggers dont choke. The tea party is fighting back. Take a look at this clip where robert pittinger, who authored more than a dozen bills to repeal obamacare saying hed fight harder, even if it means shutting down the government and sick americans can finally have their claims denied again.

The gop will keep paying you lip service, but they work for wall street and wall street doesnt mind gay marriage, they see nothing wrong with abortion and dont mind exploiting undocumented mexican labor for profit. A new self help book is called really, seriously, hes just not that into you. The Tea Party Began when the rand paul guys were disgusted that president bush was spending money like Courtney Love in amsterdam. By replacing republicans with talibans, you guarantee for wins for democrats who are now the moderate republicans. Keen worshiping ronald reagan, who raised taxes 11 times, never balanced a budget, raised the debt ceiling 18 times and if running today would be a primary for being a rhino by you. Dont think of cutting taxes for the wealthy while gutting labor and everything else. Just remember, tea party is an acronym for total economic amnesia permits republican trickle down,all. Dont stop throwing hitler mush attaches at obamas calories. This is current with that weve got five more shows. Were still here. Good night, mom.
