election in virginia. i think the fact that republicans have been they are now afraid of their shadow, you can blame ted cruz for that, the way they roll over and allow the ryan murray budget to go through. it killed the sequestration. the only thing lowering the deficit. it had this the shutdown was harmful, hurt the cause of conservatism. i think it empowered john boehner. it s a good thing, ultimately. conservatives may not agree. john boehner allowed his party, his, you know, coalition to go through the shutdown in order to chase them. what you have today is a much stronger, more liberated speaker of the house, john boehner. conservatives may regret, may live to regret the fact they allowed the shutdown to happen. you know what s interesting, we are entering a fascinating time of politics where
that investigation was deeply flawed. we have done a lot of reporting on this. there was a lot of cooperation between the people in power and the people doing the investigation. it looked at certain parts of it, but not other parts of it. going forward, let s hypothesize that hillary clinton might run for president, that s what the benghazi discussion is going to be. what did hillary clinton do afterwards, before inside the state department to make up for the fact we did leave them twisting in the wind and we got caught and people died and was this investigation really the investigation that s going to tell us everything we need to know? casey, a couple days since the piece came out, benghazi is such a flash point for people to run to battle stations we saw darrel issa yesterday. what does this report mean to the conversation? it certainly doesn t make it clearer for either side. it really hasn t.

because, i realized i was alive. i realized i could really feel, still. i had gotten divorced from my first wife. that was an unhappy situation. i was free with joni. you know, she was an incredibly beautiful and creative woman and the fact that she wanted to be with me was stunning to me. yeah. but it lasted a couple years. and still, like you say, having an impact on you today. yes. let me talk about a group that had a big influence on you and an influence on the beatles. two guys a lot of people overlook, the everly brothers. sit and listen to what phil and don did back, god, 50, 60 years ago. i know, amazing. you can change the arrangement around a little bit, lift those voices and it s just
