no, doing a fly buy. going illinois to minnesota and flying right over. the latest on that. but first governor romney hit the magic number last night to get the gop presidential nomination. there's more news for him. the women are finally warming up to him. a new abc washington post poll finds gov. romney gained 13 points in popularity all from women in one month going from 27% to 40%. and president obama lost 7 points anything women, dropping from 58% to 51%. now you may love the mayor of springs, utah. she joins us. night to see you. >> thank you. >> what brings to you washington? >> i have a young guns program. i'm part of the young guns team so i was here to mingle and get to meet some members. >> you want to be the congresswoman from your state? why? >> well, we've got some major problems in washington. and i believe it's up to us. when i mean us, i mean people. it's up to us to fix it. we have out of control spending.

we are certainly looking at what we can do when it comes to energy independence and deregulating the businesses that produce so much. and we've got to fix those things. >> it's no surprise that the republican party has in the had a lot of african-american women. if elected you will the first african-american republican congresswoman. >> that's what i hear. >> let me ask you that, do you get trouble from the community because you are running as republican or have you been the victim of any discrimination? >> gosh, not in utah. i was elected, 60% of the votes in the state in saratoga springs. not because i'm black and female but because i took a city and brought it back from the brink of bankruptcy to bring it back. make sure we are financially stable. >> your parents are from haiti? >> yeah. >> how much money in their pockets when they came here? >> $10.00 is what my dad said he came here with. >> who is your idol?

who do you look up to in politics. >> in politics, gosh, there are a lot of people of that paved the way. you look at reagan, and you think about some of the things that he's been able to do. but really when i look at people, and had i look at the way i've grown up, it's really my parents and my husband and my children that really drive my principles, my family. >> what do you think governor romney is now the candidate for your party, what do you think of gov. romney? >> i think he's doing great. it's not a surprise to me he's gained so much when it comes to women votes. he's an incredible husband. he's absolutely in love with his wife. he loves his children. a dedicated father and a successful businessman. it's not a surprise to me. >> was he your first choice? >> yes, he is actually my first choice. >> why? i realize you are a republican and i don't mean between a republican or democrat but when in the field. >> i certainly less tone all the

ideas the other candidates have, but again, we are worried about the economy. the fourth district is really concerned about the economy. we are concerned about the amount of spending that we have. and he's really the one that's best equipped to help us through that situation. i mean, he's a successful businessman. he certainly knows his way around, around that area, and i think that's what it is going to take. >> so what's wrong with president obama? why isn't he your candidate? why are you republican and not democrat and why are you supporting the president? >> there are many reasons why. look where the country is going right now. we've had a downgrade in the economy. last month, for every person who found a job, three people stopped looking for work. they just given up. think about that, greta. you have 23 million americans either unemployed, underemployed or simply gave up. >> why? >> there was supposed to be hope and change and now you have fear and blame. you have got fear that you are going to lose everything, and blame. blaming congress for everything or blame someone else. it's never unperson.

everybody is so concerned about their p. r.. >> has he done anything that you admire? >> i certainly admire him as a person. i think i believe that he's trying to do the right thing. i think that there are unintended consequences. his policies haven't worked. obamacare certainly over 60% of americans didn't -- don't like obamacare. we are talking about now there's this so-called war on women where you are trying to get a church to provide certain and specific insurance package for women. and we should be talking about whether government should be forcing any private entity to be involved in that. there's not very much to admire because we are in such terrible condition right now. but i respect the office, and i respect him as a person. >> you have a pet project. a lot of people come to washington and they have a certain experience, they might have had a sick child and want to do it because of healthcare or they served in the military. is there something, your burning

desire, that this is why i want to come to washington? >> yes. i realize my daughter, who is is it 11 years old, by the time she has a family of her own will own $900,000 to get us out of that mess, her portion of the debt. we have children who never would suspect any adult to do them any harm, who have dreams, they want to be teachers and doctors and then he with saddle them with the debt. we can no longer kick the can down the road and i believe as adults, as parents, we are responsible. it's our morale obligation to do something. >> how are the numbers? are you polling at all to see how you are doing? >> we haven't polled. the last polls that came out said we are close. it was before the convention. i believe we are winning. i believe that politico came out with a poll, had me about 55%, mathison around 37%. we are doing really well. and i believe that the message that we have about fiscal discipline, limited government, personal responsibility is resonating throughout the fourth district. >> we will be watching. all these races are fascinating

and yours is fascinating because it's fun to see how the first, how they do. so good luck in the race. >> thank you. thank you so much, greta. >> and the controversy over the imprisoned pakistani doctor who helped us get bin laden in is heated up it is so heated one senator is threatening pakistan. what is the threat and will he carry it out. senator rand paul is here to tell us. >> i understand you say the money should be off the table with pakistan. tell me what you intend to do, sir. >> well, you know, i have a lot of sympathy for dr. fredi. i'm a physician and aim about the same age. it's hard for me to imagine what courage it must have taken in his society to turn bin laden in. he's one of the world's worst mass murders and he was turned in. at one point we offered $50 million for ransom for any information. this doctor was brave enough to turn him in and help our cia and pakistan is now imprisoning him

for 33 years. i don't think we should give money to a government who is impress sing a guy who ought to be treated as a hero. i have a legislation that would cut off the pakistani aid and grant u.s. citizen ship to this doctor and let him and his family come to our country. >> how popular is if? have you taken the pulse of how it will resonate in the u.s. senate? >> we will try next week. we are out of session next week. next week i will try to attach it to a bill, and aim going to try to draw attention to this because i don't think there is any u.s. taxpayers out there that want their money being sent to pakistan when pakistan treats their people this way. pakistan also has a woman in jail, she's threatened with execution for blasphemy. she said she didn't say it but her coworker said she said something about the profit. that's not the kind of society we should be sending u.s. taxpayer dollars to. >> one of the sort of complicated ask controversial aspects about diplomacy and money is that we are often in the rather unattractive position

of trying to buy our friends. they have nuclear weapons. i don't know how secure they are. there are a route to afghanistan. and i'm not suggesting i'm a big fan, but one of the things we have traditionally tried to do is at least use the money to the extent that we can to manipulate them to stop doing horrible things like terrorism. so where do you fall in that discussion? >> i think just practically it doesn't work. we've been trying to buy dictators throughout the world for the last 50, 60 years. we paid others. and we did it with zimbabwe. i don't think it works. they steal from their people and from a humanitarian perspective it doesn't get to the people. the leaders steal it. but in this case it's insulting to the people to send it to the pakistani regime who is

threatening christians in execution, threatening this man with 33 years in prison. my question to president obama's administration is where is the $50 million ransom you promised? we promised under george bush and president obama, i believe it was $50 million for any information leading to the arrest or capture of bin laden. this doctor helped us, and now we are letting him languish in jail and giving money to the government that is holding him in prison. >> you know, a lot of people i assume are helping us around the world in our war on terror and to get these people. obviously bin laden everyone was the one we really wanted to get more than anybody else. but i think a lot of people think we hung this guy out to dry. i'm sort of curious, are there any efforts internally being done so we don't do it to others who are likewise helping us? because if this has been, if we did hang him out to dry and he's now sitting in prison languishing, i wonder, are we not being -- are we not being smart and preventing it from happening in the future?

>> well, i don't think we are strong enough. i think we negotiate from a position of weakness. i think right now pakistan would release him tomorrow if we threatened not to give them the $1 billion in foreign aid we are going to give them. now we did reduce it, but at the same time i think they would understand a position of strength. i think if we had a president who tomorrow said you don't get one penny of u.s. taxpayer money unless you release this gentleman, unless you start treating christians in compassion, unless you start talking about having religious freedom in your country. >> i don't think -- the senate voted not to cut the amount we give to pakistan by $33 million. with the amount of money we give pakistan, $33 million is meaningless. it's symbolic. but that is not going to impinge at all. i'm curious what you think will happen if we do cut the money. what happens? who does pakistan turn to? >> i think what happens when we negotiate from a position of strength is they react. in egypt i threatened to cut off

egypt's aid and the 16 americans who were there were released. so i think when you do threaten their aid, you get results. when you give them their money and try to buy their friendship and just look the other way, you get more of the same. we did this for decade after decade with mumbuto in congress go. he was torturing his rivals, and his people had no running water or electricity and he was living in palaces. it doesn't work. besides it makes no sense anymore because we are borrowing the money from china to send it to pakistan or to egypt. we don't have money to be sending around the world. we shouldn't be doing it. 75% of the american people are owe opposed to this. so i think things should change. this should be a wake-up call for people. >> senator, thank you, sir. >> thanks, greta. >> straight ahead, rush limbaugh says the tea party is steaming hot. what is happening across the nation to make rush limbaugh say

that? you will hear from him next. >> and news in the wisconsin recall race tonight. scott walker demanding an apology from his opponent, mr. barrett. the latest news coming up there. and caught on camera, a lawmaker goes completely out of control. what made him throw papers and scream at his colleagues? you've got to stick around for this video. it is wild. you've got to see this one. >> he was around when it was written. h even more of the vitamins your body needs. like vitamin d. plus omega 3's. there's one important ingredient that hasn't changed: better taste.

>> rush limbaugh said the tea partyers are on a roll and picking up spring. >> tea party favorite, ted cruz, did indeed get enough votes in yesterday's primary to deny david dewhurst 50% of the vote which means there will be a run off in texas nine weeks from now. it also means that for the third time in three weeks a tea party candidate has successfully taken on a republican establishment senate candidate and even beaten them or, as in this case, forced

a run off. earlier this month richard murdoch in indiana beat dick lugo. just had deb fisher upset two better-no oneknown candidates in nebraska. and yet they talk about the death of the tea party. the tea party is a nonfactor. the republican establishment talks about the detect of the tea party, all because they don't see it except on election day. and then they see it, and then they hear it, and then they start cursing. the tea party started as a protest movement and, of course, you can't miss a protest movement. people showing up at town hall meetings. they have moved beyond that now. they are working at the grass roots to get people elected, and it's working. >> does rush have a point? shera joins us. nice to see you. so is the tea party picking up

steam? >> i don't know about that. i don't think this is 2010 where we really saw the full of the tea party. i think some of the primaries he just named, texas, nebraska, indiana, i think these were special cases and unique races. i don't think you can necessarily say a tea party candidate really outright won because of tea party support. >> have there been any tea party candidates who have lost recently? it seems the fact that these three, i mean, the race isn't over. obviously the candidate in indiana, there's a general election and they still in texas have to have the primary -- or between the two. but have any tea party candidates failed? i mean recently that i'm trying to think. >> we are only about halfway through the primary season. on the senate level none really come to mind. but you have to ask yourself who is a tea party candidate in this case. if you call richard murdoch in early may a teaparty candidate, i don't know about that. this is a guy who has held

office for the most 20 years. he's a former county commissioner. he's state treasure like for two terms. i don't know if that's necessarily the outsider candidate that a lot of people view as a tea party type. >> but is it always outside or is it a conviction and ideology and i hate to sort of grab on a few things but tea party candidates tend to be rather, they want the budget balanced, they tend to be -- they are not crazy about incumbents. they want new blood pretty much. they want people who are very conservative, or a history of conservative. >> i think that's correct. but i think in richard murdoch's case he's been running for office since 1990. that's before the tea party was even, you know, even was thought of. so i think in his case it's a little different. i think deb fisher, a state senator in nebraska. she was will before the tea party movement. >> how did she win, though? governor sarah palin was influential in getting her elected.

>> absolutely. >> and sarah palin is thought of as a leader in the tea party movement if not the leader. >> but what helped her in the end is running against tamale candidates who had conservative support from two different portion organizations and pretty well funded and they kept beating each other up. she came through the middle and looked pretty pristine. she had a financial backer to come in and spend money for her. and especially in that primary where a lot of the voters didn't make a decision until the last two weeks, a low turnout affair. that won it for her. it's not as easy as tea party versus establishment in nebraska or the other races. >> david duhurst is now force into a run off because ted cruz who is the tea party candidate -- you agree is a tea party candidate? >> he's the conservative alternative. >> do you find it not significant that

lieutenant-governor david duhurst as the darling of the republican party has a little trouble coming up the side with ted cruise. >> i think of the three senate race that is rush limbaugh named is this is the one most fitting to his victory. but the race isn't over yet. they have to go to a run off that will ablow turnout affair the end of july. imagine texas the end of july, how many people really want to show up to vote then and david duhurst hassen limited cash rorses are -- resources. he's a very wealthy candidate. thank you. >> coming up, a race that some say could predict the presidential election in wisconsin. new developments in wisconsin that's next. and also major republican business leader said president obama should be more like president clinton. why does he say that? home depot cofounder bernie is here to tell you coming up.

is who in wisconsin, there's a dispute going back and forth about job creation between the two campaigns. where do we stand? did governor walker create jobs or not? >> this is very confusing for voters. there's some evidence, you see in public polls that voters' perception of jobs growth has bounced around as the debate has unfolded. governor according to the numbers he submitted to the bls did create or at least the state of wisconsin did create 20,000-plus jobs in 2011 rather than losing jobs. again, two sets of numbers in dispute, but most economists believe the numbers showing job creation are better number. >> i believe the job creation numbers are really do you have a job or does your have a job. if you don't have a job or your friend doesn't, there's no job creation. it's very personal. >> and even the better numbers,

he's so far away from his campaign pledge of jobs. he's not on track with that as of now to meet. >> but it doesn't appear mayor barrett has been effective with making that argument stick. >> yeah, and the problem is it has been confused by the dispute over the data. so i think in some ways the governor is neutralizing that issue. >> you have a number of republican governors showing up. governor o'malley coming friday and dnc chair debbie wassermann schultz. president obama has three fundraiser in minnesota on friday and three in illinois on friday at well so there will be a little bit of my geography and yours as well, there will be a flyover of the state of wisconsin. could president obama help mayor barrett? >> he clearly is not eager to set foot in the state of wisconsin. he's been kind of at arms length throughout this whole debate. i think the risktakers at the

white house think it's tough to defeat governor walker and they don't want to insert themselves into this state fight. that's really why they are staying away. i think it's hard to say. i don't think he's a difference maker but i think a lot of people on the ground on the left and in the democratic party would like to see him come in and fire up the troops. >> how about the unions? forget mayor barrett for a second. i mean the unions who are supporting mayor barrett, are they seemingly disappointed that the president isn't in there fighting for them? >> i think there was some controversy last career when they wanted the president to speak out a little bit more and now they are kind of reconciled to the fact he's not going to be a big player in this debate. they would love to hear him talk about it between now and tuesday. they know they aren't going to get a visit. >> in terms of the gov new york city jindal, nikki haley, governor chris christie. any state favorite among the republicans do you think? >> who knows. wisconsin governor right now, and the two celebrities with the republican party of their own, of course paul ryan and scott walker.

and paul ryan has gotten a little -- a little buzz like governor christie for the deep slot. but right now for republicans, you know, scott walker is their big heroe and will be a bigger hero to republicans if he survives the recall. >> a big day tuesday. we will be watching. nice to see you. >> thank you. >> now to an update on the interview with the democratic challenger in wisconsin to the recall race. we asked mr. mitchell how held attack wisconsin's $3.6 billion deficit. he said he would not have given corporations tax breaks last january. we then asked what would you have done? here's what he told us. >> i think you have to look at people like diane hendricks who is one of scott walker's buddy billionaires who paid no corporate last year and worth $2.8 billion. you look at the tax breaks and loopholes we have in the state, if we were to fill some loopholes i imagine you would find more than $3.6 billion to balance the budget.

>> in response, diane hendricks, specifically named in the video, said his claim about her is wrong, that her corporation pays taxes and the tax director of her company, abc supply, sent us this statement that says in part, abc supply has paid $1,078,000 in estimated corporate wisconsin tax, income tacks to wisconsin in 2011. abc operates nationwide and pays income taxes to many other states where abc has a larger business presence such as california, texas, florida, new york and illinois. abc has paid many millions of dollars in corporate income taxes to these states and others as well as federal corporate taxes. there's more on our website. and coming up, he says obama should take lessons from president bill clinton. what's that all about? home depot cofounder bernie marcus is here. that's next. and in two minutes, kay as on

you are a republican and you have written this up at which you say essentially, correct me if i am wrong, that president obama should be more like president bill clinton. tell me what you mean by that. >> you know, he crossed the isle. and crossing the isle means when you are president of the united states, there's just so much you can do. we have a house of representatives and we have a senate. and in order to get anything done in this congress, you have to work across lines. you don't always have a friendly congress. but if you don't work with them, no legislation is going to happen. unfortunately president obama came in and from the day he came in, he, rather than communicating with the congress, and working across lines, he actually attacked congress almost immediately. whereas clinton did just the opposite. he did work across the isle and he accomplished a great deal during his four years. there are some things that he did that i don't agree with, but obviously one of the things that he did was to cut the deficit dramatically. he actually got rid of welfare,

the welfare state. he did so many good things on trade, and he was generally very, very optimistic in his approach to business. he worked with the business people, and he got the support of the business people. and believe me, i was there. i noticed it. i was in business at the time. and he tried to help business to create the jobs. this is just totally opposite of what is happening today. we have a president that doesn't cross the line. he's attacked the congress almost from the day he started. he doesn't even communicate with people in his own party. i have spoken to members of the democratic house and senate that have never reach the call from the president. so he's aloof, he's going on a road. he's basically campaigning almost from morning to night. and nothing is being accomplished. with this country, without being a budget -- with so many years we've had, is a disaster for the united states. and nobody can run a business that way, greta. >> is it that he has not made a

fertile environment for business, and if so, why not? and how do you compare and contrast that -- well, did president bill clinton make it sort of a fertile environment for small businesses to grow or even big businesses? >> well, i don't know. i wish i could answer that. you would think -- you would think that -- when you know the small businesses, especially small businesses, that create really, if we are going to create jobs, one out of three jobs in america is going to be created by the small business people. so you would assume that somebody who understood the business climate and the economics would go out of his way to make it that invite to go open these businesses, to get them to create more jobs, to get them to grow. instead we find that, number one, he's proposing onerous taxes so that somebody, you know, most of these companies, small businesses are subchapter ss which means they pay ordinary income. he is now talking about raising

their taxes by 30% and this is the proposal he gave to congress. we have obamacare that most of these people don't even know how to deal with. you have so many regulations i can't even tell you what kind of regulations, it's from epa, nlrb. it's almost from every side. and it's very, very difficult. this is not what clinton did. i'm not supporting -- i'm not telling you that clinton was a great president, but what he did was work with both sides of the congress. this president doesn't do it. and it's unfortunate. it's unfortunate to the american people, and its unfortunate for those 15% of people who are out of work today. >> is it part because it's some sort of perverse way as we go through time, we get more congresses and more agencies, everyone wants to put their stamp on something which usually means some rule or regulation, even if it's not very good. we never get rid of the old ones. is it in some way a part of that is is it truly this president

doesn't understand the business environment and is unwilling and is standing in the way? >> no, the way i look at it, and i'm not changing my tune. believe me, i wish he had been successful because we would have had a better world today. we would have had a better economy and everybody would have been better off. but the truth is you didn't expect him from him. he's never really had a job in his life. he didn't know anything about financing. and now worse than that, he's surrounded himself by people who are academics, who are college professors, who really, you know, they are financial gurus. none of them understand anything about business. the truth is he has more or less people in his cabinet that with better less people in his cabinet with business experience in the last 06 years. he doesn't know what to do is and he's not getting the advice on what to do. and rather than reaching out to the business community and

finding those people that can help him -- by the way, that's why we set up the job creators alliance, which is a group of small business people who basically don't have any lobbyists in washington, are not spending any money, and these are the people really being affected by the economy. they are the real ones affected by the regulars, and they are screaming out for help, and they are saying to congress, hey, before you pass a bill, come to us. tell us how it is going to affect our business because if it affects our business, it affects the american people. we are the backbone of the business in the united states. that's not happening. nobody cares about the small business people, and we have this result. i mean, the big get bigger and the small stay where they are. and nobody is creating jobs. that's the worst part of it all, nobody is creating jobs. >> well, it certainly is different to be in a classroom and to talk about jobs, and talk about how to create them, and it's very different talking about it than being on the street and getting your fingernails dirty and actually doing it and experiencing it.

so i agree that, you know, there should be a discussion with small business people. we want to figure out how to create jobs that we should really include those people in the discussion. >> yeah. well, listen, just recently i was on a radio program, and i did a debate with editor of a newspaper who was the -- he was the economic editor of a newspaper. well, this guy never worked a day in his life, and after a while i heard some of the things he is saying and i said where did you come from? i mean, did you ever work a day in your life? and the truth is he never worked a day in his life. he came out of school, went into the newspaper business, became editorial and became head of the editorial writing. it's the joke of all times. he didn't understand business. he didn't understand the dynamics of business. and i'm not saying that this is a field that is, you know, that is difficult to understand, but business people go through things every single day, they know wt it is to make a payroll, they hands it is to have to borrow money.

they understand when they spend more than they have what happens, what the consequences are. and we have a government that doesn't understand that. if this government was a business, it would be bankrupt. it would be bankrupt and half the congress would be sent to jail for crying out loud. >> well, there is that insider trading thing. i won't get into that. >> no, no, don't. >> and they to pass a law to tell themselves not to do that. go figure, the rest of us knew that. 1978 you started home depot, very modestly, a couple stores. it's grown to something absolutely huge, over 2,000 stores. i'm curious, in this environment could you start a business and enjoy that kind of success based on where we are in terms of rules, regulations and our environment, our business environment? >> i really don't believe it would have been possible. and i look back, and i think about the environment in 1978, and for the next 15 years, and then i begin to look at all the onerous things that came down

the pike, and by the way, it was signed by a republican president. i'm not blaming this on democrats only. it's members of congress. you have thousands and thousands and thousands of pages of regulations. and when a small business guy has to deal with it, like for instance, right now with obamacare, the small business people i talked to, they don't have a clue they are going to do. if this is not knocked out by the federal government, half don't know what they are going to do, don't know how to do it and can't afford the expertise to figure out what to do. it's an onerous journey for people who are running a business today. it's difficult. they wake up in the morning and they really worry about everything that's going to happen to them rather than how to serve the customer. they are worried how they are going to deal with the government that is interfering with their life almost at every step of the way. >> and in your article it talks about some of the 10,000 rules of that been implemented in the last three years or some extraordinary rules for

business. obviously not all those rules apply to every business but you get a feel if you are a small business person having to comply with the surprises and spending the time. you can't afford a compliance officer, which is the reason for your jobs alliance. but sort of the confusion. it's very difficult. >> oh, it's difficult. hey, listen, dodd-frank was written and passed by the congress in a bad vote. they are still writing the rules. you have bureaucrats, and congress passes the rules, and for every rule, you know, for every page, by the way, there's something like, i think the number was like 20 or 30 pages. so this thing was 2500 pages. 2500 pages. it's probably 25,000 pages by now. and they haven't written it yet. it's still not being written. you have bureaucrats sitting in a room somewhere, they don't have a clue what they are writing about that are writing pages that will affect the business community forever, for the next ten years. it's not healthy. it's not good. it's not good for america. forget about when you are republican, democrat.

if you can't create jobs, it's not good for america. people need to work and be able to take care of their families. that's what they need to do. >> i hope members of both the republican party and the democratic party and congress are listening to you tonight, sir. thank you very much. >> thank you. thank you. >> straight ahead, a clever candidate finds an unusual way to get more than his name on the ballot. what did he do? you have to hear this one to believe it. also the marriage proposal that rocked the whole neighborhood and is caught on camera and you don't want to miss it. that's next. actually, the milk from my farm makes it so creamy, right dad. dad can see... boys! don't you think stouffer's steam perfect bag should get some credit? my carrots. my milk.
