but my doctor put me on pradaxa instead to reduce my risk of stroke. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate) reduced stroke risk 35% better than warfarin. and unlike warfarin, with pradaxa, there's no need for regular blood tests. that's really important to me. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding and seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition like stomach ulcers, or take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners, or if you have kidney problems especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all medicines you take any planned medical or dental procedures and don't stop taking pradaxa without your doctor's approval as stopping may increase your stroke risk. other side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. pradaxa is progress. having afib not caused by a heart valve problem increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you can reduce your risk with pradaxa.

here's the problem -- >> stephanie: it was buried under a mountain of bad hair and birtherisms. >> it will continue to be. there is no spontaneity to mitt. everything is poll-tested and focus-grouped to death which is why if you take every position on every side, you never really do tell a lie because the truth is whatever you need it to be at any given moment so the problem is not whether people are ever going to grow to like mitt. this isn't going to be about that. it will be about how much they can be told that they don't like barack obama. that's what the campaign is going to be about. the reason why -- what we're really looking at now is the laboratory tests. hal, you said wasserman schultz was in wisconsin yesterday.
8:08 am
laboratory experiment. it is the scott brown of this cycle. and all the money that is pouring in from around the country, the koch brothers, our good israeli friend, adelson all putting money into this race, they're using this to test how destructive they can be to democratic efforts around the country. if this works, if they can prove that ending collective bargaining is a winning strategy, they're going to take that national. that's going to be mitt romney's solution to why obama has ruined the economy. it is because he's helped workers. that's going to be -- that's why this election is so important. a week from today. and i gotta just -- shout out to people who are anywhere near wisconsin and particularly if you're in wisconsin do everything you can! what is it? united wisconsin.com. >> stephanie: yeah. >> we've got one week.

8:10 am
massachusetts. the other three states hit by hurricane katrina. scott walker is 50th. isn't he dead last in job creation? >> i can't speak to that. i'll look up the numbers. i'll tell you something. one of the things we know is he has not been focusing on job creation. he's been focusing on saving his hiney. that's all he has done for the last 18 months. he's actually an incredibly effective candidate. he's a terrible governor. you'll hear this from people who are his critics. this is what makes this such an important election. these tactics have to be beaten back. >> stephanie: what's happening on a larger scale nationally would you say with the tea party because in texas where mitt romney effectively clinched the nomination yesterday, the senate race is the most expensive in this election cycle. some $25 million has been spent on behalf candidates looking to replace kay bailey hutchison. you have a tea party guy and an establishment guy. there is going to be a prunoff.

>> the runoff is in july. here's what's so interesting about this. guy cruise is backed with sarah palin. perry is backed by dewhurst. >> stephanie: both of those brain trusts together. this is what's happening. what they did to richard lugar they are -- we've gotta say a little thank you to the tea party. because it looked almost absolutely like the democrats were going to lose the senate this year. there were twice as many democratic seats up but the republicans are far eating their own faces devouring their own. if this guy ted cruise should be an upset winner in texas, he could lose statewide. even in texas. that's likely to happen.

indiana is now in play in the senate. that republican candidate could lose statewide. >> stephanie: what do you make -- obama ahead in the swing states right now which i know it is early but he's looking good, right? >> if the election were held today. i'm worried about the electrified fences. what just happened. the president and you know hal interested to know how people are reacting to it. the president put that 2% or 3% of swing votes in play, in places like north carolina and florida and virginia and indiana, all states he carried. by supporting same-sex marriage. and that is a big -- he did the right thing for the country and for history. are those states in play now? is ohio in play? does that help or hurt?
8:13 am
we're going to find out. >> stephanie: my favorite thing about the polling is people don't care. which is what -- what you hope for in real progress. >> it depends on who shows up. in a 2010 style election, it would hurt him. in a presidential election where the youth vote comes out and the general vote is much higher, it helps him. if the polling is any indication and the thing is -- i guess the thing to track is the fact that it didn't make his poll numbers dip significantly with any major group. they're already well ahead. >> stephanie: david, i feel like it is pretty astonishing in polling history what's happened with african-americans and how quickly those numbers have started shifting since the president's announcement. >> they have. and it is getting better. day by day. i want to be -- >> stephanie: are you going to sing a song? do it! day by day. >> you can be leaving on a jet

>> better than bush did. >> nobody on fox can start screaming about fuzzy math when a, they do what they do with polls and b, their graphics half the time have the wrong numbers. they'll have 100% like -- 30% of people believe this and 30% believe this and 50% believe this. 100% of people -- >> stephanie: all right. rush limbaugh. >> i have created more jobs than obama and romney put together. damn right. and for a longer period, for 23 years. i have a greater record of job creation than romney or obama. and in the process of creating all of those jobs, i still have mine. >> stephanie: so we have the one fictional producer who absolutely -- [ applause ] >> um, okay. here's a group of people that he's never actually -- >> stephanie: i've heard the rant. no. still -- >> every a.m. station that is
8:34 am
still in existence today, he says he's responsible for the jobs. >> for all of radio, he's responsible for all of it. it would be gone if it weren't for him. >> okay. well, you know, he will need to believe that as his advertisers dwindle and his influence -- he's now -- he really is the a.m. radio version of donald trump at this point. the two of them are basically the same. >> stephanie: keith the fox -- pop psychologist on the mike huckabee show. >> it is dispeterring to have women come home in body bags, 15 50, how many ever women they were mentioned. 50,000 american women in body bags, some of them pregnant. are we ready for that? that's preposterous. this is narcissism at its height because some women feel they would like to tote guns to the front lines, they're going to shoot holes in our culture. >> it is narcissism for women to
8:35 am
want to serve their country and it -- >> it will result in because women i guess in this guy's estimation are inferior at war and will die in larger numbers 50,000 women are going to come home in body bags because they're not capable of serving? >> stephanie: what moron thinks like what an eight-month pregnant woman will be on the front lines? you're an idiot. >> fox news pays this guy to spout facts. >> stephanie: brit hume. >> democrats won't say they don't like capitalism but they like it better when it is heavily tax and regulated better to keep it from exploiting workers and spoiling thate. that's why the top 10% pay 70% of the income taxes in this country and why we have a large entitlement state to redistribute the wealth. that's why we have a regulatory growing apparatus. >> actually, we don't. >> regulation is added under this president.
8:36 am
>> stephanie: wow. okay. okay. all right. thanks to people like scott brown, they kind of took a piece out of that -- out of dodd frank. >> in an effort to i guess build a bridge, i do agree with him on one point. as a democrat i do favor business that is fairly taxed and does not spoil thate. that would be a good idea. because here's the thing. i don't know why exxon mobil or a huge corporation can get away with wiping out people either being tied to militia groups in foreign countries that are killing villagers so they can run a pipeline, those kind of things. if i opened a coffee shop and i said to be profitable, i have to shoot three people a year. it is just going to be -- i can't make money unless i shoot three people a year. the people -- >> do you want your latte or not? >> the people at fox would say -- are you ready for a $9 latte?
8:37 am
he has to shoot three people. you want a $3 latte? >> caller: hi, everybody. >> stephanie: lee, go ahead. >> caller: okay. you know, mitt romney, george bush, the businessman were responsible for outsourcing greater number of jobs in the history of america. now what they want to do seems like to me is outsource the american government. they come in. they're going to fire everybody. these jobs still have to be done. what are they going to do? bring in workers or hire people at minimum wage to do jobs they should be paying more. who will be able to afford the products coming in from overseas if you kill the middle class? >> stephanie: lee, we've said it. that's what henry ford's idea was, pay your workers enough so they can buy your product.
8:38 am

[ wah wah ] >> stephanie: how much better off would we be? >> this abstract that all business is good business. if you're going to accuse liberals and democrats of being super anti-business, then stop at the same time being pro any business whatsoever. like you know, at a certain point -- >> probath salts. >> if people want to sell them and -- wear a mask if you're worried. know what i mean? mask making business. >> stephanie: john in texas. >> zombie helmets. >> stephanie: zombie face mask. that's a business. hi john. >> caller: good morning, stephanie. >> stephanie: good morning. >> caller: how are you doing? >> stephanie: good, go ahead. >> caller: first, i'm a proud liberal from tennessee.
8:40 am
the thing is this attack on obama being anti-business and anti-investment when this guy has done more for the financial sector than any president in my lifetime as far as the stock market going up. but anyway, what i wanted to do is i'm a working class guy and i think -- i'm going to go with a bain capital business model for the little guy. what i'm going to do is take my four credit cards, max them out flat screens everything. file bankruptcy and then get four more credit cards and do it again. >> stephanie: there you go. exactly. >> you could actually be donald trump on a lower scale. >> stephanie: there you go. all right. >> but you also have to use your credit cards to open a business that fails when every other
