Premiering October 13, 2006
Guests: actor Ben Affleck, newsman Lou Dobbs, terrorism expert Danielle Pletka, fmr. Sen. John Danforth and entrepreneur Richard Branson

On the Republican Party and The Religious Right

"The Terri Shiavo case was the last straw for me. I mean, I thought that that was the abandonment of basic Republican principles dealing with decisions made at the local level, and certainly not expanding the jurisdiction of federal courts in order to appeal to a particular religious group that wanted to keep her hooked up. And I think a lot of people thought that was kind of scary." — John Danforth

On Iraq

"Isn't it curious that the two countries that have acknowledged that they have nuclear weapons, and in the case of Iran proceeding towards nuclear weapons, are the two countries in the Axis of Evil that we didn't attack." — Lou Dobbs

"There are many dictators who are all ugly. It is not necessarily our job, because we are neither able to nor are we equipped to invade all of those countries, overthrow all of those dictators, sacrifice all of the lives of our friends, parents and children. So then we have to decide selectively how we exercise the power of our military." — Ben Affleck

On Jack Straw

"There was a story in the news this week, Jack Straw, who used to be the foreign minister of Great Britain now I think he's the leader of the House of Commons - he said that he does not want to talk to women in burkhas. He said it is a visible statement of separation and difference. And, you know what? I agree with him. I think a lot of people think tolerance goes to the level of tolerating intolerance. And, to me, the burkha is a symbol of intolerance." — Bill Maher
