>> and reprogramming your brain to forget anything or anyone, even that ex. >> she looks at me like she doesn't even know who i am. >> that's right. remembering to forget. it's not hollywood's smoke in mirrors. some say it is possible. thought politics was no joke? >> spend the rest of the interview explaining black things to me? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> the decision 2012 team is here and pulling no punches. >> hello, everyone. i've been away a while and so good to be back. this is what you sexpect from here here. we have a conversation we think should be more on television. most of you would have at dinner or over drinks without worrying about offender is critics. sometimes it gets heated and uncomfortable and not everyone agrees. not all of the time but it's

honest and authentic and transparent. again, that's what this show is about. that said, it has been quite a week for the head of the democratic national committee. florida congresswoman debbie wassermann schultz and accused to overshadowing the president's re-election pied to flat out lying. the dnc convention behind her i invited her on to set the record straight without talking points. she wasn't happy about some of my questions but they had to be asked. so here it is. thanks for coming on this saturday night. i know it's been a very busy time for you. you know you've been at the center of some controversy and before -- i just want you to come on to set the record straight. now that you've had a chance to look back, this isn't an ambush interview. i'm not trying -- this isn't got you. i just want to get some clarity and see if you've had some clarity. i want to start with some of the comments that were made on monday to jewish democrats about

israel and specifically a comment you made to the israelan ambassador. here what you said. >> we know and i've heard no less than ambassador michael oren say this, that what the republicans are do is undermining israeli's security by suggesting that the united states and israel don't have anything other than a unique and close and special relationship. >> so you have said that the reporter -- you accuse the reporter of misquoting. you say you didn't say it, but in the clip you said it. then you said i categorically deny saying it. but there it is. how do you respond to that? >> don, if you look at what the examiner, which is a conservative blog site, so it's not surprising that they would deliberately misquote me and i'll reiterate that they did deliberately misquote me. first, they took only the first line of what i said and then they cut it off. and so you haven't played the rest of what i said.

and what they did was they reported that i said that republican policies were dangerous for israel and actually that is what ambassador oren commented on. i never said that republican policies were dangerous for israel. in fact, that is the opposite of what i always say. what i always say and what i said in that event and it's very important, that we understand that israel should not be a political football. what the republicans are doing is they are suggesting that there is daylight between the parties on israel. i didn't say their policies were dangerous for israel. i said that what they are doing by trying to suggest that there's a difference between the parties and the united states, or that president obama has less than a stellar record on israel is harmful to israel because it undermines israel in the eyes of arab neighbors. >> you said it was taken out of context. listen. the ambassador says i categorically denied that i ever

characterized republican policies as harmful to israel. >> i never said -- no, no, don. go back. you can play it again. i did not say that republican policies were dangerous for israel. what i said was what the republicans are doing, referring to their suggestion repeatedly that president obama has less than a stellar record on israel which israeli leadership says israel has no greater friend than president obama. i said because they are using israel as a political football, that what they're doing is harmful to israel. not their policies. a big difference. >> and by saying that ambassador oren it made it seem like you had spoken to ambassador oren and -- >> with all due respect, i spoke to ambassador oren. afterwards, he told me that he -- he, you know, was confident that i didn't say what i was accused of saying. his statement responds to a misquotation and a partial out

of context i supposedly made. i don't believe republican policies -- in fact, saying that policies are different between the republicans and the democrats and the united states is harmful to israel and i didn't say it. i said that the republicans are -- >> would you say -- >> i did not. >> -- differently? >> no. i regret that "the examiner" has repeatedly taken what i said out of context. if they had printed the entire quote and if they had actually told ambassador oren what i actually said, i think his response would have been different. >> okay. that's not it. our conversation just getting started. straight ahead, i ask about the democrats' platform and why they had to revisit, re-vote on references on god and jerusalem. >> he insisted they be reinserted -- >> i understand -- >> don, please let me answer. >> i've heard this over and over

but the vote on these changes created its own set of problems. here is more of my conversation. let's talk about -- >> that's what i'm. >> the delegate parties to reference god and reinstate the language -- let's listen. >> i'll do that one more time. all those delegates in favor say aye. all those delegates opposed say no. two-thirds have voted in the affirmative. the motion is adopted and the platform has been amended to show on the screen. >> i wasn't in the room and hard for me to tell. even people who were in the room, they said you couldn't tell if it was the ayes or the nos. and what happened with the way

people perceived that the party wanted people to vote was already in the teleprompter. but here's the thing. when you talk to democrats off camera, they will say we screwed but that language. what do you say about that as head of the dnc now? >> here is the bottom line. when president obama realized an owe motion made on two items which were part of his personal belief. one, we should return the reference to americans achieve their god given potential and, two, that jerusalem is and will remain the capital of israel, when i roll liealized those -- >> dynamic. >> don, please let me finish. >> because these aren't things that are likely. for god and jerusalem to be taken out of the platform.

if you look. it had to be intentional to do it. you didn't have someone in the room when you were going over the platform. >> don, don. >> hang on. let me finish. when you were going over the platform especially after the gop convention when there had been so much talk about god and israel. you're telling me that it was an oversight, especially -- honestly coming from a jewish american you're going to tell me that is an oversight? shouldn't you be the one to make sure that's not an oversight? >> don, our platform which was adopted on tuesday is strongly pro-israel and 100% pro-israel. more hard line on preventing iran from achieving a nuclear weapon than the represent perform. our platform said the president is -- to prevent iran from achieving a nuclear weapon. the republican platform on that subject says all options are on the table. we already had a strong

pro-israel platform. we wanted to make sure and president obama wanted to make sure the platform reflected his personal review of jerusalem being the capital of israel and remain the capital of israel and my personal view as well and the platform was amended to do that. in fact, when we went through the platform -- >> isn't that language in the platform before? >> it was the language on jerusalem was in the platform in 2008 and president -- and that reflected president obama's personal view and when he realized it had been omitted he insisted it be reinserted. in fact, there was never any process that -- >> with the platform from 2008 and now side-by-side and no one looks at that and goes, wait a minute. come on, congresswoman. don't people appreciate candor more than anything? >> yes. and i don't appreciate you suggesting i'm being anything less than candid. i am a proud pro-israel jewish woman. the first jewish woman to

represent my state in congress. i have a strong pro-israel record and the president of the united states, barack obama, is someone that i proudly support because he has a stellar record on israel. >> okay. >> he has consistently stood by israel and our platform reflects his personal view on jerusalem and there is nothing less than candor that i am conveying to you tonight. >> i apologize. i did not mean that as a personal attack and you're right on to come back at me and say that, so thank you. but i do think people appreciate candor. those are two things, though -- >> believe me, i have never been accused of being anything less than candid. directness is not my problem. >> i would say that that is -- over the past couple of weeks i've read things that people say you will say anything, even if it's true or false, to prove your point. >> you're right. there are right wing republicans that spend a lot of time trying to suggest that. i have a 20-year record of credibility and i'm proud of my record and it's one of the reasons that president obama asked me to share the democratic

national committee. >> why was that in the prompter about the two-thirds having voted in the affirmative? why was it already in the prompter? >> because we have overwhelming support for jerusalem and our pro-israel platform elements from the 6,000 delegates that were part of the democratic national convention and when the chair mayor villaraigosa called the vote, the anticipation was we would get that two-thirds vote and that is how he heard it and he called it that way. much has been made in the media about the supposed discord. when you have 6,000 delegates, when you -- i've been a legislator for 20 years, don, so i can tell you i know discord. hearing a smattering of

opposition which something is opposed. the bottom line this week we made sure our party platform reflected the president's view on jerusalem being the capital of israel and remaining that. when his personal view wasn't reflected on abortion and there being rape incest he did nothing to aemed his platform and that is the big difference in part of the clear choice in front of the voters the next 60 days. >> later on, we talk about some people say she has been overshadowing the president, the press she has been getting. good and bad? we will talk to her about that. that's later. first, a man in virginia named virgil good and probably never heard of him he is a game-changer. that is next. plus this. reprogramming your brain. to forget anything or anyone. even that ex. >> she looks at me like she doesn't even know who i am. >> that's right. remembering to forget.

could keep mitt romney out of the white house. how would he do it and who in the world is virgil good. he is a former virginia congressman and on the ballot in that state of the constitution party. can he win? no, but he is a game-changer. he could siphon votes from mitt romney. the theory goes from virginia to president obama. virginia is a swing state and the race is really tight. cnn's pole of likely voters taken after the republican convention but before the democratic convention show that president obama and mitt romney in a dead tie. both with 48%. so joe is here with me. he is an independent and proud of it and he's been on with me a number of times, back in 2008 and before. thank you, sir. good to talk to you. brett o'donnell has worked for the mccain and bachmann campaigns and romney's camp early on in this campaign. thank you brett. >> good to be here. >> good to see you.

before we talk about this virgil good, did you guys listen to the conversation with debbie wassermann schultz? >> yes, certainly did. >> di. >> as an independent, what did you think, joe? >> well, i think the art of asking really authentic follow-up questions is sort of lost in the news media these days and something that needs to be done. so i thought that the questioning was -- the kind of questioning that needs to be done and i don't think she came across as totally transparent, should we say. >> so, brett, you know, when you ask tough questions on the left, people on the right say -- people on the left say, oh, i bet you don't do that on the right. when you ask tough questions on the right, people say you don't do that blest so that's how you now you're doing the right thing. i'm sure i made people on the left mad but the questions had to be done like my questions about the republicans and rand paul and they tick a lot of people off on the right. what did you think? >> i agree. i think these are issues that she really needed to answer for,

particularly her comments about israel and what republicans are doing policy wise. and also, you know, what the democrat party did this week with jerusalem and israel in the platform and with taking god out of the platform. i mean, i think those were big mistakes that really stepped on the message of an otherwise as a republican, they had a good convention this week but it really stepped on that i message. >> why didn't you do that about the republican convention? i wasn't here. i was out of the country. i was here for the democratic convention and why i did it and it was the last one. brett, a pet peeve. if you please. it's a democratic party, not the democrat party. that's like people saying the republican party so if we can just use the correct name for the party, that would be great, all right? so thank you for that. so, brett, should romney be worried about this virgil good, this game-changer? >> first of all, it's virgil good.

he served virginia very well as a congressman. he was a democrat starting out and then switched to independent and then became a republican. it's not clear whether or not he'll actually remain on the ballot. he was put on the ballot in pennsylvania, then got tossed off the ballot in pennsylvania and there's some question as to whether or not he'll stay on the ballot in virginia. so i think we have to wait and see what happens. but i don't think, ultimately he'll make a difference in the outcome in virginia. >> so, joe, you're all about independents getting involved. are you glad that virgil good is in there? >> i don't know about glad. it's always nice to see if there are other options but from i read on this race so far that 2% to 3% could tilt this race and the -- he could pick 5% to 9%. i think one will hit the independent voters the challenge him being on the ballot has c e

cocom come -- sorry about that. i think the percentage of tipping is very, very troublesome for the republican party and the problem also is that there's a general image that it feeds into with republicans trying to get people off the ballots to prevent votes from happening. if you add that whole image that is going to be the no troublesome part if he is taken off the ballot. >> go ahead, go ahead. >> but, you know,, you know, third-party candidates tend to overperform in polls and underperform in elections. and so, you know, a still am very skeptical whether he'll make a difference in the final outcome in november. >> quickly, let's talk about nevada. actually it allows voters to vote for none of the above. 8,000 people chose that option in the 1998 senate race in harry reid, he held on to his seat by less than 500 votes. republicans are trying to get this option removed from the ballot. why are they worried?

why would this option hurt romney more than obama, brett? >> i actually don't think it hurts romney more than it hurts obama. if you look at the primary season, president obama has had challengers in primary states who way overperformed because they were -- voters were giving him democratic voters were giving him a vote of no confidence in those primary states, arkansas, west virginia, where places where the president had real trouble against former prisoner and not widely known in the state. it was a state of democrats voting no confidence for the president. so i don't think that line will spell trouble for romney, but i do think that it shouldn't be on the ballot. it's not one of the people running for the president of the united states. >> i think it could hurt romney a great deal. from what i've read this has been on the ballot since 1976 or

1975 and fit into the whole motif. if you look at the news stoy st coming out. republicans trying to keep people from voting in what will take votes away from them. this general image you're getting is keeping people from voting a certain way is very damaging with some independent voters. >> thank you both so much. great conversation. we will have you guys back. so i have to ask you, what is your most embarrassing moment? what is your scariest? if there anything you could forget what would it be? some say you with make that happen and reprogram your brain to forget. that's next. then this. thought politics was no joke? >> spend the rest of the interview explaining black things to me? >> yeah, yeah, yacheah. >> the decision 2012 team is here and pulling no punches. thanks for babysitting the kids, brittany.

these novel findings show these individuals can be trained to not think about memories that have personal relevance and significance to them and provide the most direct evidence to date that we possess some kind of control over auto biographical memory. doctor, when i first read this study, it kind of reminded me of end grams and scientology and able to erase memory. how can this study help people learn to forget bad memories? >> i don't know enough about scientology to cover that, but i will tell you this, don, that it's kind of funny to think that for decades and decades, psychologist have been working on helping people dig up repressed memories, right, so they can assess them with an adult mind and analyze them if

you will. now we are talking about actually creating a kind of repression and at this one study out of the uk took 30 people and they asked them to remember a positive and a negative thing about their past and associate a key word with it and then told to ignore or avoid a negative thought. so it's promising. >> i like the promising part because how can you be trained to forget? the results of this still very small. it's a very small study. it could be huge with anyone with ptsd. think about our troops returning to war. >> right. so we say promising because it's only a study group of 30 people and none of them actually had depression or ptsd so we don't know if these kind of minds that ruminate with negative images on

a constant basis and assaulted by bad memories, whether they will be able to learn that process of forgetting. but if they could, it could be amazing and bring shem such relief. >> but it's never been tested. it says it's supposed to be with people with ptsd promising or depression but never tested with people with depression. >> exactly. it hasn't been tested with that population yet and that is clearly what needs to be done next. you start with the small studies and get promising good results and then the financing in what you need to do. the wide scale study. >> thanks, dr. wendy. interesting conversation. >> thank you. up next the head of the democratic party answers this query. okay. let's talk about you. white house not happy with debbie wassermann schultz. she has become a distraction with the misquotes and making news in the wrong way. what do you say to that? the same set of values that drive our nation's military are the ones we used to build usaa bank.
