episode 74 Premiering April 7, 2006 Guests: actor Ben Affleck, Sen. Joe Biden, correspondent Bill Sammon, author/former Republican strategist Kevin Phillips, and Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) On Missed Opportunities "I'll tell you what I remember about 9/11. I remember the people the age of those people out there lined up, single-file, block after block after block after block after block, waiting to give blood. And after they were told none was needed. It was a silent scream: 'Let me help.' What the hell has anybody asked anybody in this country to do, in terms of building this country? What would have happened if the president had gone and said, right after 9/11, 'I have an energy policy. It's going to be painful. This is what it's going to take, and I expect you to do it.' They would have all responded." Sen Joe Biden On Tom DeLay "Tom DeLay personally gerrymandered that district so severely that it looks like a map of Italy. There won't be a Democrat elected in that seat for 1,000 years!" Ben Affleck Delay leaves Congress under indictment. Note you may need to be a New York Times online subscriber to read this article On Bush's Call To Go To War "I think he makes these decisions based on his instincts and then prays he's right." Sen Joe Biden On Faith "Don't you think that being a person of faith has become a third rail in American politics? If you want to run for president nowadays, you'd better get out there and say you're a very faith-based person." Bill Maher Does Bush believe he has a divine mandate? On the End of Empire "You're looking at a lot of history here which has involved countries that, in their later stages of power, they tend to think they have more power than they have. They often overreach. They often get carried away with a kind of evangelical religion, that they're out to spread morality around the world. And often, as they try to do this, they have to spend more money than they have, and they start piling up debt. And that's a quick, but not inaccurate summary, and the history supports it a lot more. But the basic reason for laying this out is that, obviously, what has gone wrong before is in the process of going very wrong again for the United States." Kevin Phillips On Intelligent Design "This is reversible, man. This is reversible. We don't have to go down this road. I refuse to believe the majority of people believe this malarkey!"
