"hardball" starts right now. \s . attack on fort hillary. let's play "hardball." ♪ good evening. i'm cris matthews in washington. all of a sudden it's open season on hillary clinton. the attacks on her are becoming more common. no wonder she's decided to put off her campaign start as the republicans sharpen their assault, she's decided to take more time to sharpen her weapons. last night mitt romney spoke at

mississippi state university and used the stage to take aim at the likely democratic nominee hillary clinton. he's just the latest gop white house hopeful to target his shots directly at secretary clinton, quote -- how can she provide opportunity for all if she doesn't know where the jobs come from in the first place? he was referring to what she herself said on the campaign trail last fall. >> don't let anybody tell you that, um you know53 it's corporations and businesses that create jobs. you know that old theory trickle down economics. that has been tried, that has failed it has failed rather spectacularly. >> well romney went after that comment and attacked her former record on foreign affairs, calling the administration tim mid, and cluelessly perezed a

reset button for russia which smiled and then invaded ukraine. the middle east, and much of north africa is also in chaos. ron fournier is senior political columnist, and ann geren is with "the washington post," and amy is a political report with the great "new york times." thank you, we have the heavywaits here tonight. first of all, is this the new macho test like at a carnival you have to bring the hammer down? you have to hit the presumed democratic nominee to show you've got it? >> and it's the easiest thing for the republicans to do, is to go after the presumed nominee. the problem is that's not all they should do. they also have to show they have a governing philosophy and inspirational message. if all they do is attack hillary clinton, she'll be the next president. >> wasn't governor romney familiar with the fact that already we had a reset button, we were trying to open things up with russia, maybe put ago smile

on it? but at least hillary clinton didn't do what w did. he said i looked into putin's soul and found, what, god? i would be careful of that russian -- that future look at russia if i were a republican. >> i was the one who asked the question where bush said i looked into his soul. as bush way saying it i couldn't hear him. i was looking at putin's eyes like you're not getting out of this country, young man. it was the scariest thing. >> burn saw something different. >> i saw something different. >> the gender comes into this always, you never know -- we've seen debates between a male and female. george bush taking on ferrara and joe biden taking on sarah palin. how will it go? can you make direct shots, bakley saying you're no gip >> hillary clinton is none of those people, right? she's a completely a creature apart. there's no other equivalent of

that combines all the former things she's been plus her celebrity status, plus her inevitability twice now as a candidate. so attacking her is totally fair but you may not want to use it with words like tim mid and clueless, which have some sexist conostations and happen to be very wrong. >> certainly in the example you used hillary clinton was anything but tim mid on russia during her tenure as secretary of state. she had a pretty clear-eyed view of exactly what was happening there and tried to make it a very transactional relationship. >> i would go for the left on her and say you wanted to go interestr into libya, syria a bit serious there for being haushish. >> and she tried to figure out whether russia could help -- >> they did help. >> they helped on afghanistan frankly. they allowed a land route for

resupply which was hugely important during the years that the afghanistan war was heating up. she credits them with that but she also now is saying very tough things about putin. just last week in canada she had this odd moment where she mimicked him but your point her point was you can't trust this guy. >> i think one of the most effective things in politics ronald reagan was schooled in it called the attack from the defensive position semi ) your opponent looks like they're coming too strong and you do something like there, go again and you win the election. it seems she must be getting ready i assume for all these arrows, and is going to set up an sdi system your thoughts? >> 100% i would say she's the most effective when on the defense.

remember the new hampshire primary where obama said she's likable enough. i think that's when voters kind of connect with her and she resonates more. her highest approval ratings ever were during the lewinsky scandal when she looked like a victim. i think that can help her numbers, so republicans have to be careful of that, but i definitely think part of this primary is who can ding hillary clinton the most? just like she made the argument in 2008 she would be better than obama to take on mccain. >> i think two gutsy things she did in a row there, during the whole monica mess she campaigned haired for chuck schumer, established herself as a new york player, and then had the guts to run for senate. >> people like her when she looks like she's down thats for sure. >> i think it's very american generally about the underdog but i mention romneyul4yx is the first 2016 candidate to take on

hillary. i having filing on hillary for a while, trying to prove she's not beyond reproach and that's their argument. let's watch them. >> when hillary clinton was asked for more security, she turned the ambassador down. i find it a dereliction of duty. her failure to provide our ambassador in his miss with adequate security should preclude hillary clinton from ever holding high office again. >> hillary clinton today apparently says she regrets that four brave americans lost their lives. if she was really sorry, talk is cheap. she needs to stand up and die mand action. >> this week i saw something breathtaking, a former secretary of state who was campaigning in massachusetts where she said that don't let them tell you that businesses create jobs. >> she embodies washington.

she lives in washington, she worked in washington. you look at everything that people dislike about washington she embodies? >> like hillary clinton, i too have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles around the globe, but unlike her, i have actually accomplished something. >> hillary clinton is certainly used to attacks from a defensive position. here she is back in 2007. >> when you are attacked, you have to deck your opponent. >> ha! deck. go ahead, you respond to that. that is a very evocative verb. >> yeah, and she will clearly be swinging back hard when the time comes. but for now, from her perspective, it makes some sense to stay if not totally out of the fray at least a bit above it because while at the same time republicans are shooting at her, they also will be shooting at one another.

there's nobody on her side to be shooting that hard, so why not stay quiet? >> amy, back on this thing about the timing. is there a sense of what she has to do as a candidate, get the message sharpened up. get in training in terms of being able to do the back and forth, and how do you put off the campaign? is there a trade-off where you say i could use in sometime in new haven basically getting the show ready, but if i go out there too early, i'm getting in the way of all this republican fighting back and forth. i don't want to distract from 0 b@&h(lc% that. somebody sid, i think it's john braybender, that every day she's not in the numbs is a good day no her. >> gives us less to talk about. >> i know. >> i would say in terms of delaying the announcement because it would make her look political or subject to attacks look at what mitt romney was talking about. she is already being treated

like she's a candidate, so the wisdom of waiting, she's smart to disappear for a while, fall out of the headlines, but if she waits too long, it just adds to the sense that she's the inevitable anointed nominee -- >> but she is. >> i think that's true. >> i think that image hurt them in 2008. >> how does that hurt if it's true? can she come up with some phony partner, and have hi other her run against her? the hurricane steak fry when she was playing coy -- >> i don't buying that part. >> i heard iowaen saying don't play coy. >> i think the fact that i was kidding with ann in the dress many room. if you delay things, there must be something you're delaying. >> there's no problem with her taking time. >> she's running. >> veers she's running. her problem is not the republicans. the question isn't whether --

there's two questions to me. can she use the technology to connect intimately with voters, in a way greater than obama did, that shows all americans who -- a real aauthentic, a decent, passionate person. is she be inspirational s not about her, not about clinton, not about washington, and lastly can she convince them that shen,ñ(q would run a government that would begjhsç totally transformational, nimble, transparent, a whole new way of doing things. she's got to run a campaign, and inspire people that she can run government in a way that's not been done before. let the republicans fight for the next year. she has to be the bill clinton of this century. >> i'm waiting to see show he mags to do what people can't ever show who you are in a small group to a larger group. >> that's always been a difficult thing for any

candidate, but particularly difficult for her, again given all of the things she's been in her life, and the very many experiences that she's had where she feels wronged by going public. >> but don't miss this, it's never been easy to do that because of the new necking to. >> if there's another way to -- when you're with her it's totally different than on tv. with some politicians it's dramatically difficult, and i think sheets the most dramatically different. >> if she could expos that how would she do? >> i think social media might be the trick. maybe she needs you. >> i'm fine where i am. >> i'm sure we'll be talking about this for a while. sarah palin is back on the scene, yes, sir, she's interested in a presidential run. even republicans, a lot of them have grown tired of her act. that's what they think it is. are they embarrassed or afraid of her? i think they're afraid of her being on the debate stage.

plus the obama administration is said to be outraged out of bibi ♪ en -- nettenanyahunetanyahu'jepv speech. this is not a good thing and it's getting nasty. we have a very special guest tonight, a man who elevated talk on tv, the great dick calf illustrate finally a sneak preview of this sunday's best super bowl ads. we have them here tonight. this is "hardball," a place for politics.

i've been called a control freak... i like to think of myself as more of a control... enthusiast. mmm, a perfect 177-degrees. and that's why this road warrior rents from national. i can bypass the counter and go straight to my car. and i don't have to talk to any humans, unless i want to. and i don't. and national lets me choose any car in the aisle. control. it's so, what's the word?... sexy. go national. go like a pro. well this could get awkward. chelsea clinton and her husband will appear side by side at a luncheon tomorrow with mitt and ann romney. the lunching is for a good cause, to draw the center for neurological diseases. chelsea's husband sits on the center's board, but the clintons

and romneys will meet judd two days after mitt romney called hillary clinton clueless on foreign policy. we'll be right back. natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is safely recovering lots more oil and natural gas. supporting millions of new jobs. billions in tax revenue... and a new century of american energy security. the new energy superpower? it's red, white and blue. log on to learn more. major: ok fitness class! here's our new trainer ensure active heart health. crowd: yayyyy! heart: i'm going to focus on the heart. i minimize my sodium and fat... gotta keep it lean and mean. pear: uh-oh. heart: i maximize good stuff like my potassium... and phytosterols, which may help lower cholesterol. major: i'm feeling energized already. new delicious ensure active heart health supports your heart and body, so you stay active and strong. ensure.

sarah palin's speech at this past weekend's iowa freedom summit that is create add wave of conservative criticism from former supportest. let's listen to part of her speech. >> it must change. look at it. it isn't too big to fail. it's too big to succeed. we can afford no retreads or nothing will change with the same people and same policies that got us into the status quo -- another latin word status quo. it stands for, man the middle-class everyday americans

are really getting taken for a ride. and gop leaders, by the way.÷h you know, the man can only ride you when your back is bent. so strengthen it then the man can't ride you and america won't be taken for a ride. so much is at stake and we can't afford politicians plays games like nothing more:÷ stake, other than the next standing at the next election. >> her unique delivery has been baffling some listeners since he burt onto the national stage in 2008. this speech set off a stampede. to disparage her this time. matt lewis wrote -- you bempa i was wrong about sarah palin maybe her early critics saw some harbinger of things to come that escaped me. byron york a smart guy wrote in "the washington examiner" more than a few gop loyalists came away shaking their heads.

bill crystal, one of the most arden and early supporters talked about her political gifts back in febrg? >> she's a huge political talent, she has a real pop you list streak, and a real feel for sort of middle america in a way that very few politicians do. i think her biggest mistake, from which you probably can't recover was stepping down as governor partway through her term. >> worst worst notes that crystal also said she might be formidable in a republican primary. did i say that recently crystal when reminded of that comment anyway kathleen parker in "the washington post" column called them out for it. in the end she wrote, the story of lwcxpalin's rise and fall is a tragedy. the author wasn't the media as accuse accused, but the grand grand old party

itself. they placed her on the altar of expedience. joan walsh is also here t. let me say this joan my friend is here, and kathleen, you have been constant. you have made this comment about the weaknesses, gaffs, whatever you have to call it lack the preparation, way back when. >> i recognized it early on after her third interview with katie couric. it was so sad -- it was clear shy wasn't ready to be in that position to be in the national spotlight, and at the time i urged her to step off the ticket which i doesn't expect her to do but that was the point i was trying to make. >> a palin quote -- no one hates saying that more than i do. like so many women i've been pulling for palin, wishing her the best, hoping she will perform brilliantly.

my finger poised over the mute button in case it gets too painful. unfortunately it often6 akñ does. you were quick to the attack. >> i knew everybody in the world were saying this. and i just simply did what i do as a columnist and say what is number one obvious and number two, what people were talking about. the republicans and conservatives didn't want to say anything publicly and when i did, they were aghast. weerp we're not supposed to acknowledge, it's the classic emperor with no clothes on. and the back lash was immense and immediate 20,000 hate mails over a period of two weeks and lost my column, and friends. >> what the republicans are saying about her, it sounds like, you know, a friend of mine one said people don't minde4j

used, but they mind being discarded. i think she'll show up in that debate group for the next year or two. she will grab the attention. she will. i didn't think it was possible for me to feel pity, you but i do. i gray with kathleen. she really was used and thrown away. she was not really for that job. she would have been a heartbeat away from the presidency. bill crystal brought us the iraq war and sarah palin. he should leave the stage. >> i'm afraid he will always be with us. >> i know. he will. i do think there's somethingy$x very cynical about it. remember when peggy noonan and mike murphy were caught on a hot mike? i benaeg it was on msnbc, they were talking right after her nomination about what a disaster she was. and so a lot of people kn this, but most of them kept silent. kathleen was brave and told the truth, and she paid for it. >> let's talk about how she was used. they needed a bit of a pep in

the engine back in '08. mccain was old, sort of been around a long time. no racing stripes on his car. there was nothing to sell. let's get somebody who is atrackedive, fresh young, and can give a hell of a speech. she did just that under katie couric ask her why are you running for president? that's the worst question to ask, the obvious one, and what do you read? that was a killer question. >> yeah. remember, too, it was -- i think 24er7 determined to get a woman because of hillary clinton running on the other side. in a sort of classic wli obtuse male way if i may, they just said oh look she's governor she's pretty, she's hot, she did the thing -- she's a reformist let's take her. they didn't vet her, didn't put boots on the ground in alaska and ask about what she was really like. they were kind of smitten, i

think. >> that's sounds like the selection of dan quayle or the selection of john edwards. i know different genders but the words you just used, the physical attractiveness, and it's always some smart consultant saying the idiots are going to go for this. the crowd will go for this. >> i did think think del think she was great. i think they were smitten. there was a "national review" cruise. >> that's a great cruise. she comes running out to meet the boat something like that? >> i think she invited them to the governor's mansion, and they were completely smitten. she was impressive. you remarked back then she had so muchj6 pizzazz. >> kinetic. on this stage she's kinetic. i don't think she ever worked for roger on, what do you call it -- fox in that booth in wasilla, but you put her on the stage, and she would move

around. you couldn't not look at her. >> there was a moment acceptance speech where it was a little bit scary. she really had charisma but there was also a meanness to it. this is what they're afraid of now. she is a very wonderful attack dog. she herself, you know, talked about the pitbull with lipstick. they don't mind it when it's directed at barack obama the community organizer but they do mind it when it's directed at them. she's going to keep her name out there and keep taking these shots at republican leaders, and that's why they want her off the stage. >> you know why they like her on the stage? because most politicians are boring as cold toast and they said at least she lights up the camera for a few minutes. >> she had a heartbeat. >> anyway for better or worse. congratulations on the column, kathleen, and joan walsh have a nice super bowl weekend? up next the great dickúd)l

were john lenon and his wife yoko ono, who he fame -- many fans were blaming the marriage for the breakup, and his reflexive sense of humor was a full display. >> i sat in a restaurant? spain and the violinist insisted on playing "yesterday" in my ear, and then he insisted me to sign the violin. and i thought one day he -- >> that's better than if they played wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine. >> i guess so. i guess so. >> maybe i should have saved that for later. well i'm joined by the great dick cavett. thanks for coming on to promote the book. that's what i want to help you do. >> chris, you are looking good. >> that's my generation your

generation. i have to tell you i don't think anything has matched it since is the interviews with katharine hepburn, and nobody thought she would talk. how did you do that? >> she didn't want to do it for a while. a friend of hers irene said she should do it, and she's the only guest who ever came to the studio to see what it was like if she did it and;? would sit. so we got this classic thing i taped secretly, dangerously where, for example, a stagehand said we would have to -- don't at the me what's wrong, just fix it. it was like that. and then we couldn't shut her up, to put it tastelessly. she was just -- a brilliant personality display. >> anyway, you never shied away from political subjects. in fact our current secretary of state in had is youth was just 28 years old when he came on to speak out gentz richard nixon's

policies. here he is. >> if in fact we have stated that we do have a date certain, even if it hasn't been put out in front of the people, then some american is going to be killed and is going to be the last guy to die for an admitted mistake. now, i don't think that's right. >> what did you think back then? i assume you were against the war at that point. it was after tet. the war wasn't going to be won in any traditional sense. what was your sense of kerry when you first met him? he was a political wannabe? what was your sense at the time. >> first the phrase good guest rang immediately, because he talked so well. he was convincing and the other fellow on the show, the right winger that the nixon administration lied about coaching and putting on the show -- can you imagine a lie from nixon? anyway but he did well. later he gave his wife a kidney

presumably his own. >> yeah, john o'neal but he was also part of the swiftboating, attacking the president. >> yes he did. he turned around and got another shot in. hey, by the way, you made me realize just now what it is about sarah palin. she seems to have no first language. >> well, anyway, she got hung up there. i think she was having flopping sweat there. you managed to make an enemy of richard nixon. here's the recording how to get revenge against dick cavett. >> what the hell is cavett? >> oh, christ, he's -- god he's terrible? >> he's impossible. he loads every program automatically. there's nothing you can do about it. we've complained bitterly about the show.

>> is there any way we can -- >> we've been trying to. >> did you ever sense that screwing was occurring of yourself by the president and his people. >> it's a strange feeling to have the most powerful man in the world -- i became an enemy of the nixon administration through various things, including that halderman, his -- who introduced john lennon to him verbally as a man who could sway an election. any numbers of things i crossed. but somebody asked me -- i hope you saw my watergate special on pbs. if not, would you watch it tonight? >> okay. let me ask you about the quality of your programming. when i was over on the peace corps, asking how the carson show was going people said no you everybody is watching dick cavett, and when i got home that's all i watched was your

show. it was america, it was the culture, it was the politics, it was entertainment and you've paid tribute to america's great. you would be the only guy who would understand the greatness of groucho marx and you brought them to us in intimate conversation. i don't know of anybody who's been able to do that. >> gee can i get a copy of that for meyer scrapbook? >> it's true. you were experiencing it. >> i've got to ask you one thing. somebody claims the last time i was on your show you said to me, how are talk shows different in the old days? and that i said, we let the guests talk. >> i know. you were kinder now than then. thank you. >> hey, i'm going to play in los angeles hillman and mc kaert theater 40. >> wow anyway thank you -- >> come on out. >> mary mccarthy.

a hellish lawsuit that the old bag lillian hillman caused and caused people to shorten their lives and millions of dollars. >> she was a great playwright, regardless of her politics. watch on the ryan? what a great movie. >> and great stalinist. >> i know all that, by the way. i'm on the liberal side. thank you, dick cavett.

he's been rallying the party expect to do reiterate his commitment to growing the economy by boosting the middle class. the senate passed a ilb toil for the pipeline. and the studios of dutch national tv were evacuated after an armed man got past security and demanded airtime form the man was arrested. no one was injured. now we're going to take you back to "hardball." welcome back to "hardball." speaker john boehner is facing more criticism after he blindsided the white house last week by inviting netanyahu to address the congress. it will also come in the middle of a hugely consequence quenchally negotiations with iran over the nuclear program. publicly the president says he won't meet with the leader when he's in town because it's so close to the israeli elections,

but privately reportedly the white house is fuming. according to numbs number of times, the outrage became clear in an unusually sharp criticism, who said the israeli ambassador ron dermer had repeatedly placed mr. netanyahu's politicall÷ fortune above the relationship between israel and the united states. last night speaker boehner told fox the white house has shown open hostility toward the israeli leader. >> do you think there's some antipathy in this administration towards netanyahu? >> of course there is. they don't even try to hide it. israel has been or strongest ally in the region for decades. we have a great relationship with them, and we have to look for way toss work together on behalf of our their interest not have the kindneçmp of antipathy that we've seen over the last several years. >> for more on this diplomatic and political 234r578, perry

bakens and jackie kucinich, and charles ellison, washington correspondent -- let me ask you, first of all perry, i think which is cheap, cheap below the belt politics. our relationship with israel is a diplomatic issue, the president leads diplomacy this is party politics. >> very unusual i agree, boehner's inserted himself. we know netanyahu and the president don't love each other but to invite him to congress at this time and provoke the white house in this way is highly unusual. it shows you how the republicans view this as a wedge of sorts. they can drive a wedge between the president and between israel and the american jewish community as well. >> i just wonder if there's a new party being reformed here s the republican likud party. they believe in settles the west bank that's been their policy since the beginning.
