hasn't paid andalated to a company he's involved with and he's sued for not paid taxes or a bis tax dispute and he talks that everybody should pay. maybe he should pay his taxs and leave it at that. >> it is about people who are making over 200,000 and that can affect small owners. >> most of the what you are talk being is small business owners and they are not having an easy time anyway. you talk about increasing taxes in a bad economy and in a economy where other countries are eating our lunch, it is a dangerous thing. >> the white house knows it may not go anywhere in congress. are they doing this to reignite the passions over class warfare. >> it is a dangerous thing for president to talk about tax increase. he's doing it for a lot of

people. millions of people . when you are running for office and talking about tax increase that is dangerous. but more importantly it is dangerous for the economy. >> talk being the in and of itself. how do you think romney is doing if the economy stase on the track it is. he will not have troublement >> if fuel goes up higher and the economy doesn't get better. i believe that mitt romney will be becoming your next approximate the and he will be helped. i do see fuel going yup obama making deal the opec to flod the market otherwise he will not be there to take care of them. that is a dangerous sign. i see without that i see fuel going yup a lot of bad things happening and if that happens, the republican candidate which will be romney will run. he will be your next president. >> it will be one of the nastiest campaign. >> it will be the nastiest

average or wasful haved and what makes it unusual is the number of agents that were dismissed and obviously embarrassment for the president and a distraction from the mission of the summit itself. secret service spokesmen said there are allegations of misconduct made with the secret service personnel prior to the president's trip and because of this. they are relieved of their assignments and returned to the place of duty and replaced by other secret service personnel. and secret service is no stranger to controversy. a article in news and world report. found alcohol abuse and extra marital affairs and barroom brawling are few of the agents that are tarnishing the agent's once sterling image. and they are relieving in droves and join the higher

comparison. obama is nasty to hillary clinton to a point where i was surprised she took the position she took. >> and taking a look, there are those that believe that this president is one that is content to manage what he sos the decline of america. do you believe that? >> we are not respected like we were. we are not the great exception and great nation that we once were. you have other nations that are eating our lunch and loaning us money and pay paying them interest. and china will make 350 billion in profit on us. and they take our jobs and manipulate the currency and make our product. they are doing numbers that are incredible. they are doing a great and amazing job for x. lock at what is going on in the opec nations . the coined have had money and they wouldn't be there except

for us. we talk about american exceptionalism. you can't use that term right now. >> are you saying the president is to blame? >> i think a lot of it there is an opportunity when you turn down pipe lines and don't allow drilling and go to opec and pay the exor bant prices of oil and other countries. he's allowing that to happen and i think he has a different idea of where he want to see the country than a lot of other folks and our country is in decline and not doing well. unemployment didn't go down. it is it just when people stop looking for jobs. real number is 21 percent. they said 8.2. it is very high. but if you add poem back that have begin up, you are talk being 18-21 percent. >> at some point people are

going to wane because i believe that mitt romney, who looks like he will be the nominee will get back on message and he need toz get back on message and the failed policies of the obama administration . what he's going to do to boost the economy and create jobs and his ideas. and he has to get back on message and hopefully not stay on this one. it will highlight the differences and challenges that women have in the work place. >> we heard a few minutes ago on from donald trump on the buffet rule that is coming nup congress. give me your take on why this thing is pushed by the administration in this way. do you believe it is used to distract voters from the financial concerns that you have over the economy. >> absolutely. it is pure political theater. for the following reasons. first of all house of

represent. if they pass the buffet rule it will not put in a dent in the deficit. if they implement the buffet rule, it might raise four billion of that. that's peanuts. i did a little camculation of my own. if they really want to get the rich to pay more and get warren buffet to pay more in tax. if they passed 999, you know what warren buffet would pay a year in taxes. over 200 million dollars. they are not working on the right problem. they need to throw out the tax code . buffet would not make the at the same time that his secretary pays more in taxes . he is a 25 percent owner of brook theretoshire hathaway.

that would be when he pays more for the secretary. >> look at what is in play right now. you aring a series of events to keep the focus on the economy and not just the presidential contest. you are looking at key senate and congressional races for the upcoming presidential race. >> absolute like i mentioned getting on message and keepinglet voters focused on the message. it is brains and bail - on ballots. we want to boost the economy and it starts with throwing out the tax code. i was the only candidate running in the primary and i hope to have influence with governor romney and his campaign. keep it focused on energy independence and sound money. inflation is a silent tax on too many americans and when you compound that with the

price of gas going up. the average american family is hurting. and so what the senate is doing with the buffet tax vote is pure political theater. >> and so as you go forward, you are keeping the focus on that and looking forward to backing mitt romney from the contest x. your pick for. >> i don't have a pick. i have a few people that look good on the list. i mentioned alex west and marko rubio representative mike rhymes. this money, it is in senate park and have a great big rally and got peekers there to talk about how we keep the focus and keep the fire on congress and on what is coming up. >> and all right. thank you for joining us in the studio and always good to hear fru. >> all the best. >> and turning now to a story that touched many lives over

>> take a look. this is video of the cherry blossom festival parade in washington, d.c. today. this here marks the critical conditiocentennial celebration. recently i spoke exclusively with the japanese ambassador about the celebration as his country recovers from last year's massive tsunami. >> this is representative of the friendship between japan and the united states. we're very happy that all-american people, specifically washington, are enjoying this. it's nice to see them walking under the cherry blossom tree, and it makes us feel very good. >> can you give us a little bit of the history of how it came together, why it was seen as a

special endeavor. >> the first lady of the 27th president of the united states wanted to beautify the tidal basin. she wanted to have musical concerts near the tidal basin. she was asking for suggestions, and her friend, a traveler and writer, suggested to bring japanese cherry trees, plant them. so tokyo city gave 2,000 trees. first try, it was not successful. and the second try, 3,000 trees was planted on march 27th, 2012, and we were very happy that the first lady, michelle obama, mrs. obama, planted trees again this year. >> it's amazing how the whole display looks today, because it is breathtaking. >> i agree. to tell you the truth, we don't have this kind of place, too, in

japan. we don't have a huge area like tidal basin, so this is breathtaking for japanese as well. >> and yet as magnificent as it is, it lasts for just a short season. >> you see, i will explain the cherry blossoms as three bees. first bee is brightness. it comes with spring. so it's sort of a sign of a spring. second b, blossom. doesn't sneed explanation. third b, brevity. it goes away right away. >> we had a very warm, early start to our spring season. and what impact did that have on these trees for this 100th celebration? >> i was saying at the opening ceremony that we had very beautiful one week of cherry blossoms. who wants thanksgiving,

birthday, and christmas altogether? it's good that we enjoy cherry blossoms. now we're going to enjoy the festival. >> don't you think also what's so wonderful about this, it reaffirms the friendship between japanese and the united states, as being strong allies. >> yes, we have strong allies. it's mostly important, not allies, people-to-people. 80% of japanese like americans. 80% of americans say the japanese are trustworthy partner. this is the base of our relations. especially we've been helped enormously by american people. last year we had the earthquake, magnitude 9.0, tsunami, went up to 133 feet, and nuclear reactor. people around the world, but on top of the list was americans. japanese people never forget it.

and we are all so grateful. so i always say from bottom of our heart, thank you very much to american people for that. i was in the region a few days ago -- a few weeks ago. i'm sorry. talked with governor and mayors and other people. they said -- i asked them, is there a message from them to american people, and they said please convey our gratitude. second was it will take some time. please stand with us. continue to stand with us. please trade with us. please invest in us. above all, please do visit us. please come to our region. >> our great friend, the nation of japan. our thanks to the embassy of japan and to the ambassador and his wife for opening their home to us. that's going to do it for me here in washington, but america's news headquarters rolls
