international representative of stupid, and he is now picking at people who can't fight back. that's the one thing i don't think people caught as much because it was so much about him insulting their, quote unquote culture. isn't that like saying god likes the jewish better. >> right. >> you say he also brought out bagdad, and rattled some sabres and did everything he could to warm the hackles of sheldon adelson, stop this man before he does this again. >> yeah. >> that's the terrifying thing, you are joking but sheldon

my favorite piece in the dick cheney interview. richard cheney who told him picking sarah palin last time around was truly a bad idea. yeah this is amazing. and that caused all kinds of infighting. mccain defended palin -- >> yeah there are some people that are deeply invested in keeping our political celebrity alive. i'm willing to bet that john mccain in the voting booth would not vote for sarah palin as a dog catcher. >>right. >> so charlie this whole mitt

palooza it is not going to hurt him? >> there is no indication it has so far. i hate to sound like the conventional pundit but we don't decide elections on foreign policy. >> i guess. but this was so carefully scripted. this was just meant to be an alley-oop, right? >> what you do on one of these things if you are the candidate, smile something, eat the local pastries, and get the hell out of dodge. the only thing this guy is good at is getting the hell out of dodge. >> that's what i was saying -- i know what you are saying that foreign policy doesn't matter, but i don't think we have ever seen this. it was almost all of george bush's gaffes combined in to one or two days. >> i will still put george bush

at the top of the list of foreign policy reasons why you shouldn't elect somebody. how many times does this guy have to do stuff like this, and not have the needle move? there is nothing the guy can do. >> exactly. if he hasn't killed his campaign so far. but what about the debates? >> that's a possibility. people watch them. he can get up in front of everybody and trot on his nether regions in a spectacular way. i guarantee you knowing my colleagues in the national media, all he has to do is get up on that podium at the convention and not wear a clown nose and really big shoes, and it will be the comeback for romney i guarantee it. he is going to roll out his vice president in a couple of weeks, and then you are halfway to the

million dollars a year are not going to have tax increases. so we're saying okay. let's have a vote on it. i think what it really does is smoke out who their constituency is. who they are really there for. >> sandra levin our friend it is his legislation. he said this issue of holding hostage middle class tax cuts is the first order of business in my judgment that has to be addressed and resolved. how does this play out. does anybody blink before the election? >> i don't think so. i think for the republican party tax cuts for the wealthy has become almost a religious proposition. and they won't let it go. and i think the american people

really understand this. at a time when the country is borrowing $40 out of ever hundred that we spend, to refuse to ask the wealthiest americans pay even a little bit more to help solve that problem is indefensible. >> representative, we have been talking this morning, my friend paul wrote a great piece. but it's not that long ago that we have something to compare this to and we talked about building it from the middle class like we did in the clinton era, right? >> yes. >> we have that to compare to and then the bush years. >> election should be about big choices, and there is a very big choice coming up in 90 days. if the wealthiest people get more of what they want more

quickly, we all benefit. we believe if the middle class is empowered, people work hard and can buy a house, a car, educate their children and retire with dignity that's when the economy rises. we can look at what bill clinton did and what happened to the economy. he raised taxes on the wealthiest people by a little bit, he restrained spending. we had 600,000 new businesses created in those years. george w. bush came in and did the opposite. he did what mitt romney wants to do, he cut taxes on the wealthiest americans walked away from investments in education and transportation health care, and what happened? even before the meltdown in september of '08, the economy had gained only $1 million jobs in those seven years. so which of these two do you prefer?

the one that works or the one that falls off a cliff when there is a financial meltdown. >> right. and i think it goes to the point that president clinton always used to make a rising tide lifts all boats. we're not saying we're anti-rich people, we're saying when the middle class has money to buy things, they buy things that rich people sell as well. >> under president clinton a rising tide lifted more yachts. there were more millionaires created in those years than in any point in american history. we want people to success, but success comes when it is broodly share when the person who is an accountant or the truck driver shares in the wealth. >> i think that's exactly the

point we're trying to make they are getting so hysterical over these tax rates, and we're just talking about going back to the clinton tax rates, not the eisenhower tax rates. >> yeah. sometime when you really have nothing to do, when you are bored beyond -- are you there? >> yep. >> oh. >> can you hear me? >> yeah, i can hear you now. when you are bored beyond imagination read the floor debates back in 1993 when bill clinton proposed this plan and people like newt gingrich said the world would come to an end because there would be a small tax increase on the wealthy. they were wrong. and they are wrong again now. >> i was talking a friend that is a big wall street guy.

he said he is a bernanke fan because he said the government is just dysfunctional. the government is not going to give -- give the economy any help, are they. the republicans certainly aren't before the election. >> they are not, and if it were obstructionism out of ignorance it would be one thing. i think it's intentional obstructionism. senator mcconnell said that their goal was to make barack obama a one-term president. and they -- you know this reminds me of couple of years ago when chicago did not win the olympic games, when rio got the olympic games, they were cheering because chicago had lost because president obama had asked for it, so they viewed it as a political victory that the united states didn't get the olympic games. this is kind of what they are like with the economy. they are thrilled when bad unemployment numbers come out.

they are jubilant when the dow collapses, because it means they have a better chance to win the election, and i don't think we should be routing against the country. >> yeah, doesn't it kill you when they sa this president promised hope and change. >> he is not a king. >> right. >> but -- >> but they made up their mind they -- they thought he was ant legitimate president, whatever that means, and their mission has been to deny him a second term. our mission has been to fix the economy that they broke quite frankly. >> yeah. >> and our mission has been to help people get health insurance, and get an education, and preserve medicare, our mission has to been to make sure that women make their own decision about their lives. so, you know, that's the kind of hope and change that i think the

president has delivered against their obstructionism. >> how are you enjoying mitt romney's overseas trip? >> i wish he would spend more time there. [ laughter ] >> he's -- it has really been a tour de farce. >> yeah. >> if this was designed to show his credentials as a world diplomat, he certainly is demonstrating them. >> yeah. >> politicizing disagreements about foreign policy and in the meantime the president is leading an international coalition that is really wrecking the iranian economy to try to get them to give up their nuke. the president's international coalition is bringing the sirenian violence to an end, because he has isolated the syrian regime. the president has restored our standing as a world leader, and this election is going to be

about the economy, but i think the president as a superior record to mr. romney's positions. >> yeah. and i know as one of our health care warriors you must have been delighted with mitt romney endorsing the israely health care system. >> yes. >> wasn't that something? >> yeah, i guess he is back to his massachusetts days. he must have thought he was in boston, not jerusalem. [ laughter ] >> i think what we see in governor romney is someone that is going to be somewhere the polling tells him to be on any given day. >> yep. >> the president has taken very difficult stands on immigration. he has taken some difficult stands on health care. he hasn't flinched. he hasn't ducked. and at the end of the day i think that's why he will be reelected. the american people are seeing

in governor romney a person that he needs to be on any given day. >> yes. new jersey marriage equality you have there is going to officially be in the democratic party plank. >> we are. it is kind of poignant for new jersey, and that's because our own legislature did the right thing, but our governor vetoed it. >> yeah. >> we have people who are wonderful citizens of our states, are denied the rights me and my wife have as a hetero sexual couple. and it's really sad. some states sadly like mine have not gotten in line for modern civil rights. >> yeah, exactly. and i think that's exciting that is in the democratic plank. >> yeah, it's exciting to me to see how the center has moved on this issue.
