[ bell chimes ] [ applause ] >> stephanie: good morning,

jacki schechner. >> good morning. >> stephanie: so what did you think? >> of the al smith dinner last night? >> stephanie: yeah. >> i was surprised that mitt romney did fairly well. >> stephanie: yes. >> the president is much better at these things and i watched his appearance on the daily show, and it's the same thing. he is just very likable. and romney delivered the jokes well. >> stephanie: right. no, somebody wrote him some good jokes. >> exactly. he was as lose as he is going to be in that kind of environment. and the president was a little more self deprecating. >> stephanie: yeah, that's what i'm saying. a lot of people said that it was amazing how hard-hitting a lot of romney's jokes were, right? >> yeah he made a joke about you didn't build that, and then the president did one too, but the president was more -- he

talked about the house that babe ruth built, and he talked about oh, by the way he didn't build that. and romney went after obama. >> stephanie: i liked when obama said the unemployment rate is the lowest it has been. i don't have a joke for that -- >> yeah, we just used that. my favorite was when he talked about the foreign policy debate coming up and said spoiler alert we got bin laden. >> obama: i have to say i'm impressed with how well governor romney has avoided that problem. >> stephanie: yeah, i think you are right. he has a more easy demeanor with it. and another one that romney had

hard-hitting politically. i can't remember which one it was. but in some ways it was like the comedic version of his debate demeanor. >> there is something off-putting in this sort -- i get that we're raising money for catholic charities but there is something off putting about they are really in the final moments of this, and they are hitting on hard topics and going after each other, and then they take a night to laugh and joke and present this isn't happening. there is something insincere about it. it is a big fancy gala it's the same thing as the white house correspondence dinner. i have been at those things and there is something just insincere about it to me. it speaks to where there is such a disconnect at times between

washington, the media, new york and the rest of the country. >> stephanie: that's exactly it how really disrepublicanfully he has treated the president in these debates. it was like that grown the other night in the debate, there was actually a gasp. do you remember that one. romney said you can finish in a moment i can speaking now. >> yeah a disrespect for the presidency. >> stephanie: yeah, just kind of -- you can't explain it right? you know it when you see it. >> i haven't heard much about how mitt romney personally feels about the president, because i don't know that he has feelings but i have read about the president's disdain for mitt romney as a human; that he is

just not a fan, and i think it probably takes all he has got to be polite. >> stephanie: look at how their reacted at the tagg romney thing to take a swing at the president. is this a new level of disrespect for the presidency? >> uh-huh >> stephanie: and then they just laugh it off. >> money can't buy ya class. >> there you go. >> stephanie: exactly. here is romney last night. >> romney: as president obama surveys the waldorf banquet room, you have to wonder what he is thinking. so little time so much to redistribute.

butter. >> stephanie: for push their face in it. >> that is true. that is comedic gold. >> stephanie: exactly. this attack romney thing, you say a, it shows -- like you say entitled and disrespectful the romneys can be but number 2 there is just not even a basic level of respect for the office of the presidency. >> yeah, there's a lack of elegance. and i do wonder of how callus and offhanded he was on the international stage, and how his family behaves here at home. if they are managing to offend people here at home there are nuances abroad that you have to be very careful with. it's like the ugly american abroad. you should know better and try to assimilate as best you can

into the environment of where you are traveling, at least out of respect of where you are. and i don't get the sense that mitt romney or his family has any sense of what it means to be respectful of other cultures other environments and frankly people of other socioeconomic means than themselves. >> stephanie: right. and ann romney on "the view" evades the question and she says you can ask my husband about that. >> isn't she supposed to be the surrogate on women's issues. >> ann romney: stop it. >> stephanie: she is just like whoopi -- >> ann romney: stop it. >> stephanie: she is like my husband can sit on this couch and answer that question. >> i wonder if joy will talk

platform for us to defeat her. >> stephanie: jim, i think what -- it's interesting because obviously mitt romney is running as a businessman, but i think there has been a real difference in the way he has run business in a way that benefited only himself. >> stephanie he is a wall street guy, and i'm a main street guy. i'm an entrepreneur that actually built jobs and understands what people and familiar list need. a big difference between romney and graves. >> stephanie: exactly. that's why to me the bain stuff is fair game. if you are running on your business acumen as rick perry and newt gingrich said this is vulture capitalism. and the way you have done business has benefited everybody. >> yeah, i believe in the value

of good quality livable wage for my people. i'm not trying to break companies up i'm trying to bring people together and build things. and that's what we need in congress. and bachmann is just the wrong person for the country. we have got to get rid of her. >> stephanie: the polls i have seen it's either a one or two-point race, right? >> right. right. and stephanie the real important thing there is there is still 8% undecided. when we started this thing we were down by about 6 percentage point, and we have gone to a negative five to a plus 17. and that's the important thing. as people become more familiar thanks to you and people in the media, people are coming over. so that 8% -- no one is

undecided about bachmann either you like her or you don't. so all they need to know is who jim graves is. and they are coming our way. >> stephanie: independent voters, you hold a 17% advantage. i know the democratic committee has just moved you -- you are officially now a red to blue -- obviously -- >> yes. steve israel, the chairman of the dccc is coming out on saturday to celebrate with us. he can smell a victory, and the whole party is excited. and if everybody can go to jimgraves.com and maybe a little contribution -- i hate to do this -- but we'll win for sure. >> stephanie: i have a question from gordy. steph can you ask [ inaudible ] missing 90% of the votes.

says those things it creates a lot of money. she has raised over $20 million. it is a cash machine when you go out and say things that aren't truthful, even though her own party has separated themselves from her. we have to recover her from congress. >> stephanie: we talked about this yesterday. it's not just michele bachmann but a lot of these very extreme tea party candidates like her, who am i thinking of steve king joe walsh in illinois. a lot of these candidates are running away from the tea party movement. >> i think they have been exposed. i think it was a shallow splash in the pan kind of thing. but we really think that -- again, we have the truth on our side. that always helps, and we're exposing her falsehoods and what she has been saying not

accurate. and the real thing stephanie and chris, she has not served the people of the district. she has been galavanting around 90% of the time spending more money than frankly anybody else has. >> stephanie: yes. and jim we will be hoping and praying. >> and we put links on our website and on facebook. >> thank you very much >> stephanie: jim we'll talk to you real soon and hopefully after your election on election day. >> we'll celebrate together. >> i hope michele bachmann knows the heimlich maneuver because marcus is going to choke on his hot dog. >> hot dog. >> stephanie: it's a beach boys song, look it up.

business and politics that had reached out to candidate shannon o'brien, and candidate mitt romney, and said we're asking you to sign a pledge and we're going to gather these resumes, and give them to you on day one of the administration. >> stephanie: yeah. the whole story, once again is provably false that mitt romney told. >> well, i think he mind of lives in a mad man bubble. when i was debating him on the issue of choice ten years ago, and i was saying i don't think you are telling the truth about your position on choice he actually said i was being unbecoming, and i was not being unbecoming, i was just pressing him to get the truth out of him. and unfortunately it took him running for president to get the truth of him on women's choices to come through.

>> stephanie: look at what happened on this latest debate. he on a dime said i think women should have access to contraception no matter what. it's like what? you are for all of these things -- for shuts down planned parenthood. it is fairly stunn't even for him sometimes, isn't it? >> eric fehrnstrom who has been with him forever, said now that the primary is over this is etch-a-sketch, but the scary thing is people are kind of buying it. they hear the last comment that mitt romney makes, and it sounds sincere. and i think he is very good at sounding sincere at the moment. it's when you miss the walking back to the real position that you realize he says anything to get elected, but governs in a

very different way. and the most important fact that listeners from across the country can take is he will say anything but how does he govern and here in massachusetts people know how he governs, and only 35% of the people of massachusetts have a positive perception of him. and barack obama is on track to beat him here in massachusetts by 20 points. >> stephanie: i know. maybe it was because it was the end of the debate but you must have been saying the same thing i was when mitt romney was talking about his record in massachusetts. >> yes. >> stephanie: i wish the president would have been able to say, why am i ahead by 20 points then? >> yeah. >> stephanie: and how about his whole -- like -- i govern in such a bipartisan fashion.

hampshire. >> stephanie: good. i was saying what i thought what a great job governor patrick did at the dnc, but you don't need to know anything more than he is losing his home state by 20 points. >> apparently is losing a couple of home states. he is losing michigan too. when the people of this country, i think people have to think twice about whether or not the policies that people understand he supports or does not support have an impact on his potential to win either michigan or massachusetts, that should make people think about what kind of president he will be. >> stephanie: and you know how secretive this guy has always been. the fact he is still running to be the leader of the free world

and will not release his tax returns is just breath-takingly arrogant to me. this just out mitt romney made $15 million on the auto rescue. >> when i ran against him in 2002, i got [ inaudible ] and my -- my husband and i had filed our taxes separately from the time we were married, but i realized my taxes and i urged him to do the same, just as he urged ted kennedy to release his taxes. so i released mine. and then he attacked me for not having my husband release his taxes. so i think the whole issue of taxes has been a somewhat awkward one for him. and i think there are many

reasons why he is not releasing those taxes, and chalk it up to what he said about me and ted kennedy and my husband. if you are not releasing your taxes, you have something to hide. >> stephanie: yeah and his whole message is trust me. >> yes, and that is what distinguishes him from barack obama. it's not an easy sell for a president coming in when the economy is getting better housing prices are slowly edging back, it's hard to make the case this year, but the fact is barack obama is playing out a plan about how he is going to invest in the middle class, in jobs, in clean-energy sector. how he is going to invest in infrastructure. what his tax plan will mean for the wealthiest people among us and what it means for the middle

class. this shape mitt romney site you go on to it and ever time you try to click on to see his tax plan, and it moves so you can't actually click on to it. >> stephanie: there's two new polls out today. the president pulling ahead in iowa, wisconsin, i believe i saw nevada and colorado and we haven't even seen the last debate yet. >> i think that it was kind of scary to see some of the numbers shift among women. but in the past couple of days the surrogates that the romney campaign has sent out, some of the women who served in the romney administration the governor -- lieutenant governor was on msnbc the other day and was being pressed about the whole issue of contraception

and she was pressed and pressed and pressed, and finally she basically said that's not important. and the fact is making sure women have contraceptive care is an economy issue for any somebody of reasons not just the bottom-dollar impact on the family, but what it means in terms of controlling their own family's destiny, and for them to say it's not important and to come from a woman in that administration will give you some sort of clue of where a romney administration would take this place for women. >> stephanie: i think the good thing is we'll all be able to get home and cook dinner for our husbands. >> that is the one thing that scares the heck out of my husband. but he loves spaghettios.

on? >> i know. and it's going to come down to a handful of states and the women's vote is going to be critical. obama was way, way ahead with the women's vote. romney has caught up a little bit, and it is really going to come down to the women. they have to come out and vote, because when it comes down to it, the one area where a president really has big power is on the supreme court, and if one more justice gets in there to overturn roe v wade it will be very, very bad for women in the country. >> stephanie: i'm looking at iowa and wisconsin, this those states the gender gap is back to where it was. >> yeah, we're looking pretty good in those states. it really is going to come down to ohio. i made a joke the other day that they are basically running

for presidency of ohio. and virginia is on the cusp, and colorado is on the cusp. so it will be a turn-out election. it is exactly where it was prior to the conventions. and it is going to be whoever gets their base out and the turn out. and i think we're suited for that, because we have a great ground game. >> stephanie: you were very good filling in a couple of segments for lawrence. i know who is doing my next vacation fill in. you have a very bright future, i have told you. >> well, thank you. >> stephanie: did you just -- i mean, beside the comedy level of binders full of women, that answer was just so typical of -- first of all he didn't answer the question. >> right. which he still hasn't answered by the way. >> stephanie: right. >> he still has not said whether

way, because she can't square the fact that he was pro choice and now he is pro life and what was she before and she said i'm not running for office and then she did, and she said when he was governor of massachusetts, he was governing in a liberal state -- basically they are so discombobulated over there they don't know what they stand for. >> stephanie: she is like listen, i'm too busy stabilizing my husband. >> ann romney: stop it. >> stephanie: that language is a little disturbing. >> it is. they should have stabilized that dog when they put it on the car. >> exactly. >> stephanie: and how about tagg romney saying i wanted to take a swing at the president? is this always a new low in terms of -- you know disrespect to the office of the presidency? >> well, it is.

when -- eric dieson was talking about how if this was reversed if barack obama had a -- barack jr., obama -- you know and he said he wanted to take a swing at romney, you now the place would be going crazy. the angry black man. and he's a gang member all of this stuff. but nobody has made anything out of the fact that tagg romney just said i would take a swing at the president of the united states. >> stephanie: yeah, and it's just laughed off. >> and it is not carried by any news outlets except for the liberal gang. but the reverse would have been it exploded all over the airwaves. >> stephanie: and everybody was talking about the al smith dinner. it's interesting a lot of our listeners had the same reaction that -- mitt romney seemed to sort of miss the spirit of that that it's a break from the

politics. because he turned that also into sort of a campaign attack. and a lot of people felt it became more -- as the president was so self deprecating, romney it was sort of more of the same from him. >> romney was also a little self deprecating when he said this is what we wear around the house for dinner. >> stephanie: yeah, that was the one. >> there are so many things to nail romney on i don't think i will nail him on the al smith dinner. >> stephanie: yeah and i think it is because he lost the last debate, don't you think? >> well he did. you know when they start screaming about candy crowley that they loss. it will be interesting to see what happens in the next debate that focuses on foreign policy

how romney will somehow try to bring job into that. if he starts talking about outsourcing jobs to china it will is like here is the mirror mitt. >> stephanie: yeah, like the president said you are the last person -- >> exactly. >> stephanie: i hope he tries again on this benghazi thing, and the president has said other republicans have said it the navy seal's mother and father have said stop politicizing this -- >> yeah they are trying to make a scandal out of something that isn't a scandal. we have already come clean on this. we have already said it is a terrorist attack. we're now going to try to find the roots of it and who was

responsible. >> stephanie: if the participate, as he has said, finds out who did this and strikes back they will say that is the october surprise. >> i wonder what the october surprise is going to be? >> stephanie: maybe that is it. >> yeah, the president is real good and tracking down terrorists and taking them out.

[ inaudible ] should be treated very skeptically. >> there are a number of doma cases that have been struck down, and they are making their way to the supreme court. we failed a case against proposition 8. and that's also on its way to the supreme court. the supreme court has said after thanksgiving they will decide which cases they are going to take. so that's up in the air but we feel that -- you know, either way for proposition 8, we're going to win because if they don't take our case, then everybody in california has the right to get married. so we feel like we're in a win-win situation, and i can't imagine that doma won't be struck down at the speak.

>> stephanie: yes. >> the wheels of justice grind slowly. >> stephanie: let me read you a quick analysis. think progress saying this is a really big deal. he is saying any attempt by government discriminates against gay people must have an exceedingly persuasive [ inaudible ] it will be a sweeping victory for gay rights -- >> it will. it will. the doma case does not necessarily initially -- immediately open the door to gay marriage. >> stephanie: right. >> it basically says for gays and lesbians that that class -- that group is now to be treated equally under the law in all other areas in terms offer her importances, and visitations in hospitals and so on, which is

huge. >> stephanie: yeah likely causing state discrimination to be virtually eliminated. >> right. it would be. then the next step is to get full equality which would be the right to marry. and if for some reason they decide not to take the case, then at some point we'll just have to file another case in another state, because ultimately, the gay and lesbian community will not be considered equal unless they have equality across the board and that includes marriage. >> stephanie: how do you feel that it looks likely that washington state and maryland will be the first states to approve gay marriage -- >> it is very exciting. because what it says is that this country is now moving in the right direction, and for the first time a ballot measure will break the way of justice

inequality, and the gay/lesbian community has literally lost every measure at the ballot box, and this for the first time will show that the opinions across the board and the country have changed. >> stephanie: by the way here is a little added fun fact for you. the house republicans have spent $1.5 million in taxpayer funds to defending doma. >> good use. ben stein yesterday was on fox and basically -- this is a republican economist -- >> stephanie: would you like to hear it real quick. >> okay. >> i hate to say this on fox and i hope i'll be alouded to leave here alive, but i don't think there is any way we can cut spending enough to make a meaningful difference, we're going to have to raise taxes on very, very rich people and then slowly, slowly move it down. the 250 a year.
