i think, you know, my friend harold is right. the president's message the other night is on a couple of themes. it was about sacrifice, fairness, about investment, and it was about work and putting this country back to work. i think that, you know, he spells out some very strong data points about just how many jobs have been created, you know, over this last 24 months. you know, during this -- what has been a fairly slow recovery. but a recovery none the less that americans are getting back to work and that he's calling on all of us to make a sacrifice in the -- in the taxes that we pay, in the work that we do. >> goldie, you brought that up, let me talk about taxes. because again, i think that speaks to what harold was saying which is the 99% versus the 1%. here's something he had to say about taxes. >> i think asking a billionaire to pay at least as much as his secretary in taxes is just common sense, especially when we're trying to figure out how to reduce our deficit. >> goldie, what do you think about thats a a message? >> i

. >> i think harold will be starting off. >> with all of our rehearsals -- [laughter] i'll start with the cronology and how we present the book. there's a conflict of views here that unites this panel because the "new york times," of course, covered all of the major figures of the civil war era including senator and later vice president andrew johnson. we have to set the stage by saying it's not the same "new york times" that we know and either love or hate today. the "new york times" now relishes the idea they just publish the news and all the news put to print. in the 1850 #s and 60 is printed all the news fit for electing republicans and supporting the union and later emancipation. this discussion requires a giant leap of historical imagination, something akin to the social media revolution that can start a real revolution. newspapers of the mid-19th century were busy fermenting passion and concern over major issues. they were specially on one side of the slavery issue or the other. plo-republican or pro-democratic. people measured their afghanistan -- their affiliation and loyalty

and harold is the legal director for public knowledge, a group opposed to the bill. now welcome, gentleman. this is pretty complicated piece of legislation. let's try to break it down. this is really about rogue websites and government's power to block them if they stream copy written material that otherwise shouldn't be on there. harold, what is wrong with that? >> well, you know, everybody agrees that piracy is theft. but you know what? the problem here is how we're going about blocking it. this is not just about making something illegal because these things are already illegal. down loading something you don't have to right to. already against the law and in fact, we have lawsuits every day. this gets into the guts of the internet. and that is where the problem is. >> the problem is it would allow companies to block the website. make a website invisible online. you think that's exactly what aught to happen. >> these websites are dedicated not just to counterfeiting, to piracy, but to counterfeiting. every product you know of is counterfeit somewhere along the line

we also have harold ford jr. and mike barnicle back with us. >> we have a variety of red socks fans around here. >> we do. >> let me read from joe's latest piece. i couldn't agree more. here's this, there was a reason for romney's success and it pains me to disclose it. he was well prepared by his consultants. none of the candidates seemed to have prepped at all. they had their moments. they seemed amateurs, romney is a professional. you have to work at being a good debater, a good candidate. and he has clearly done his homework. you say at the beginning mitt romney won the debate and most likely the nomination. >> this is a professional mainly in the field of amateurs. >> totally amateurs. the interesting thing is that all of these debatiing points that you guys mentioned in the last secment is that -- nobody attacked him on his health care plan in massachusetts, santorum didn't get off his populist anti-wall street bailout message, they didn't attack him on flip-flopping on social issues, it was all you didn't

harold will think. i need to get closer and closer to the herring and call to him in this way. hello mr. herring. the herring will think. that is strange, if you want to catch me, why is he getting further away. i don't understand. do you under stand? actually i'm going to be getting closer and closer to the herring and i make my voice smaller and smaller, so the herring will think i'm going away. it's very interesting and what will happen next. i sneak up just behind the herring and i say, what. what will you say? i can't hear anything. >> that's idea i make my voice smaller until i make no sound at alright. so the herring will think, he's gone. well, no fun today i guess but any way i am safe. and at that moment i capture him. what do you think of my wonderful idea. great. very good. very interesting. i'd like to see you try it. thank you and can you suggest a good place to catch and find many snow herrings. sure. into the temple. why don't you go there. thank you. i go now. going into the temple, the temple gate is closed for the night and the temple wall is too high for me

to private harold a. garmon, the medal of honor. exulting sacrifice, patton never dwelt long on the horrors of war. but as his 3rd army overran concentration camps in germany, he saw horror of a new kind. victories piled up as the 3rd turned southwest to link up with soviet forces in the danube valley. it was over. for a moment, patton relaxed his carefully maintained role of colorful leader to be himself. on his return, americans showed their gratitude. in general pershing's words, it didn't hurt america to have a general so bold that he was dangerous. los angeles went all out in its reception. with him was general doolittle, whose force in europe did so much to ensure final victory. >> although no unit, no individual won the war, we're fortunate in having one here with us tonight with us who had a large part in winning the war. i'm pleased and proud to have been privileged to fight by the side of general george patton.
