is necessarily brilliant, but, okay. hey i'll take it. >> stephanie: you say it's easy to make fun with her and i'm certainly not above that. and i took her presidential candidacy more seriously than it needed to be taken. >> i did. if you think back to early 2011 spring of 2011, when there were all of these contenders it was clear even then, right, stephanie, that in the final analysis, it was going to be romney versus someone representing the hard right-wing. and that ended up being rick santorum. but i thought it might have been her. >> stephanie: i understand, because it was such a crazy train. you are like well she could be the conductor on that crazy train. >> exactly. but the bulk of the piece is about her, her conversion from, you know godless heathen to child of jesus from conservative

to liberal, which i didn't really go into much -- >> stephanie: you mean liberal to conservative. >> liberal to conservative sorry. and just what -- what -- taking a soert of more psychological look at her. she had -- some of this comes from the new yorker profile of her, but some of it is just apparent in the way she talks about things. she has father who was very, very important to her, and whom she adored, and who was liberal, which probably didn't help for later purposes. he was a pro civil rights person. he was a hater of the south, and that sort of thing, and he left the family when she was 14 and left them impoverished, so she became very bitter about that. and she was fatherless and wandering and lost and her soul was full of darkness and at 16

she went to a prayer meeting and found jesus. and she says in this speech in 2006, suddenly i had a father. so this i think, is sort of the key to her. once she became a religious person, and then she -- and then she brought that -- that value system to politics so -- so she -- you know, look we all bring our -- we all bring our value systems and belief systems to our political views. but i don't think it's unreasonable for me to say she is a pretty extreme case along the lines. >> stephanie: yeah, as you write, i think it's fair to conclude that she was in politics to give people fathers in jesus. and that may sound nice to a lot of people, but it's deeply anti-american. jesus has nothing to do with being a good american. >> that's right. >> stephanie: yeah, the whole -- i remember when i first

heard about her, michael, i thought okay this small government christian conservative is married to an obviously gay man who is using government money to do christian therapy on gay people. you can't write this stuff, right? >> yeah jreally, really strange. i first encountered her on hardball. not the infamous night where she called for investigation into congress degrees of loyalty. but before that. matt liked to have her on a lot in 2008. >> stephanie: right. >> and -- and so i thought boy, now she's -- i mean you must say -- she immediately catches your eye. >> stephanie: right. >> she is attractive. she has got those eyes, and as these things go, she is

well-spoken, i suppose you would say. so i thought, wow, what is her story. and then a couple of months later, there she was on hardball calling for loyalty stuff and i thought she is really out there. >> it's like she is living in a sitcom. >> exactly. the last sentence i have got some people upset on twitter yesterday, but it's true. there is no religious test for being an american. and this is an error, and frankly a very offensive one that people on the right believe. you have to believe in the bill of rights period. >> stephanie: yeah exactly. and she talks a lot about it. we just played a whole montage about how important it is, michael for wives to be submissive. and i don't want to be the one to say she does not seem like the submissive in that relation

relationship, but -- [ laughter ] >> thank you, ma'am, may i have another! >> stephanie: i don't know about that. but the largest point that people have been talking about this morning, when you look at bob dole's comments. she may be the most entertaining and craziest but she is more the norm in that party right now, right? >> yeah, she is. she is a little bit fringy but there are many many people in the house of representatives who's names your listeners probably don't know, who are basically in her corner of the ballpark. and i'm sure people see from reading websites, every two weeks, somebody pops up -- some back bencher you never heard of pops up with some other nutty comment. and it's the old story -- it's a rage machine. >> stephanie: right. and in terms of ideas are ted

cruz and rand paul so different than what her ideas are? >> no. no. not at all. i mean ted cruz and rand paul have a few differences i guess probably on drones for example, buba no. i mean there -- this is -- they just keep getting more and more right-wing all the time this party. >> stephanie: i was reading a "new york times" piece called the wisdom of bob dole and it points to -- there is something happening. they are even -- john mccain is quoted in here as saying just the other day, we're here to vote not to block things. we're here to do what we can for the good of the country and let the process move forward. and that's what bob dole said. we weren't perfect but we at least got our work done. >> well, most of the time. let's not give bob too much

credit, because he was instrumental in the beginning of this whackiness. the night that clinton was elected, because he was elected with less than 50% of the vote, and he went on tv that night and said he does not have a mandate. he got less than half of the vote, and it's not our job to grant him his agenda words to that effect. that was sort of the dawn -- that was the early, jurassic phase of this extreme republican madness, and -- and dole fed that which was really bad for a guy who back in the '70s, was -- you know he was a kansas sort of heartland conservative, but he was -- on some things he was pretty moderate, and he was a responsible senator who legislated, and then by the '90s, it was block clinton, block clinton, block clinton so

maybe he regrets that. and that's fine if he regrets it. and it would be nice if he said it more forcefully. >> stephanie: i president president obama wishes for the blocking that bill clinton got. >> yes. >> stephanie: they were always small government but this is like no government. you know what i mean? >> oh yeah. >> stephanie: all government is bad. any kind of anything right? regulation, government of any kind. >> yeah, exactly. and you are right. obama would be happy for the kind of opposition that bill clinton had, and he would be absolutely over the moon for the kind of opposition that lyndon johnson had. i always laugh when these people like maureen dowd and others say he needs to be more like lbj. lbj was dealing with an extremely moderate republican party.

>> stephanie: and huge majorities. >> huge democratic majorities and beyond that nearly half of republicans in the house and senate voted for medicare and medicaid. slightly more than half in the house, and a little bit under half in the senate. voted for medicare and medicaid republicans. can you imagine that? >> stephanie: yeah it is funny to think of that. those of us who lived through the clinton years, we think, oh for the kinder gentler clinton times. well thank you, michael. >> well thanks.

embattled agency in ads against four vulnerable incumbents. you know, i think that's -- i think that's absolutely right. and here are the reince priebus's of the world. >> reince priebus! >> stephanie: right. >> they are seeing that you have a scandal-plagued white house which has an effect on all democrats -- democrats across the country.

spent years pushing big tax cuts, and his party actively cored the religious party in the '80s, but when the time came to govern, they set aside their grandstanding to keep the government working on people's behalf. the current generation refuses to do that. members want to dismantel government. and we were saying that even john mccain has been saying that. and, you know, you just wonder now that these elder statesmen are obviously at the end of their careers, what really is going to happen with the republican party. the mulish behavior of republicans has lead to the creation of the sequester blocked action on economic growth and climate change, prevented reasonable changes on gun restrictions.

about -- it's almost may ends this week. it's going to be june next month. what is june? it's marriage' quality time at the supreme court everybody everybody. and jen abram wrote a great piece. it makes sense why we at least have to have fair rulings. she said it cost my family $3,000 to be gay married this month. listen this month my wife and i spent $3,000 to adopt a child we gave birth to. even though we are legally married in the state of new york katherine's parenthood will not be legally recognized without this adoption. the defense of marriage act allows other states to refuse to recognize our marriage. if we visited eddie's

grandparents in wisconsin, katherine wouldn't make medical decisions for eddie. she wouldn't sign a release form for eddie to play at a gym. if i were in a car accident, the state would take custody of eddie. i'm unconscious in the hospital. my wife is perfectly fine but the state takes our daughter away from her and places it in the care of a stranger. there are two cases in front of the supreme court right now that should solve that problem. she said even the broadest possible positive ruling will still allow states to determine on a state by state basis whether my marriage is in fact legal. >> yeah. >> stephanie: both of us must be evaluated bay social worker who visits our home to determine if we're fit to parent our own daughter, thank colludes questions about our religion

our plans to discipline our child. it gets better though after that katherine has to be fingerprinted and background checked. then we both have to stand in front of a judge who determines whether or not we are good enough to be a family. yep, marriage equality actually cost $4,500. she ends by saying legal marriage in new york state was a fantastic amazing step but we still have a ways to go.

be recognized in all states. >> stephanie: right. it's ridiculous to cross a border of some sort and not be married anymore or have any rights regarding your own child. it's ridiculous. >> stephanie: the president's carney, talking about the economy yesterday. >> we believe the economy is continuing to recover and continuing to strengthen in the aftermath of the worst recession since the great depression. >> stephanie: now if we could only undo the sequester and actually get to work helping. housing is rebounding. >> yep. >> stephanie: i mean if only we could get a little help from the backstage congressional crew. >> a friend of mine in san diego is a civilian worker for the navy, an environmental engineer and he just got his furlough yesterday. >> stephanie: yikes. and another subpoena about benghazi!
