Synopsis

Guests: Actor Jason Alexander, counter-terrorism expert Richard Clarke, journalist Dana Priest, biologist Richard Dawkins, and Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA).

On Condolezza Rice

Well, she knew who Bin Laden was. She didn't know who Al Qaeda was. She didn't have time until the week before 9/11 to hold a meeting on Al Qaeda, in spite of the fact that the CIA and my staff and everybody was saying, "There's about to be a major attack."  Richard Clarke

She probably will go down in history books as one of the worst secretaries of state.  Dana Priest

On The War

Come on, they hate each other. They're going to kill each other. They're killing each other now. We're going to leave at some point. Why prolong this agony? Why don't we just rip off the band-aid? What's going to happen is going to happen. It's Allah's will.  Bill Maher

I believe there's no military solution here. Most people do believe that. I believe our troops are in harm's way; we should get them out. I'm not sure how much good they're doing. But, I also am conflicted with the notion of, whether we supported it or not, our country was responsible for breaking Iraq, and there is a better than 50/50 chance that if we remove, en masse, there's going to be a great amount of chaos and bloodshed than there is now.  Jason Alexander

On Religion

When I'm on my death bed, I'm going to have a tape recorder switched on, because time and again, people like me are the victims of malicious stories after they're dead, people saying they had a death-bed conversion when they didn't. There's a story that even Darwin had a death-bed conversion, which is a complete lie, but it's widely believed by creationists. And it happens again and again and again.
 Richard Dawkins
