e from detroit lakes, minnesota. let's get to work. >> good evening. i wish i had better news for you. >> we have just learned that former massachusetts governor mitt romney will not run for president in 2016. >> today has been awesome, girl. >> he is not running. >> what will they do to stop causing our pain and start fuming it again? >> i don't want to make it more difficult for someone to emerge who may have a better chance of becoming that president. >> i'm the most conservative guy that ever lived. >> i believe i am on the right side of history. >> it is best to give other leaders in the party the opportunity to become our next nominee. >> why do you people keep inviting me back?

>> i think i would serve well as president. >> we need something fresh, organic, from the bottom up. >> good to have you with us tonight, folks. thanks for watching. last night on this broadcast i was a little agitated a little fired up. tonight i'm just disappointed. mitt ain't going to be running for president. mitt romney told supporters on a conference call that it just isn't going to happen. >> after putting considerable thought into making another run for president, i've decided it is best to give other leaders in the party the opportunity to become our next nominee. i am convinced that we could win the nomination. >> romney was planning to run on a platform focused on helping the middle class and fighting poverty.

it is almost laughable. it is a far cry from the 2012 campaign and of course the infamous 47% comment and tape we unearthed. romney announced he's not running the day after president obama said this. >> we've got a former presidential candidate on the other side who suddenly is just deeply concerned about poverty. that's great. let's go. come on. let's do something about it. i am glad that their rhetoric, at least, has shifted. let's now make sure that the policies match up with the rhetoric. >> mitt romney knows he could never be a candidate for the middle class because of his history. he can't change who he is. jeb is thrilled that mitt is out of the way. he released a statement today saying this.

mitt is a real patriot and i join many in hoping his days of serving the nation and our party are not over. there hasn't even been a debate yet. they want to limit the number of those. how about sarah palin speaking for herself? >> what will they do to stop causing our pain and start fueling it again? it is they who point a finger -- they have triple that amount of fingers pointing right back at them. we respect our troops and we let them, our troops, as our investigategate keepers tell jihadists, this is our house. get the hell out. >> please run, sarah, please. please run. it is probably fair to mark her out of the running. mike huckabee will have some serious problems with women voters. >> it is one of those things. we're in a business meeting that

you might have in the south or midwest in iowa. you would not have people who would just throw the f-bomb and use gratuitous profanity in a professional setting. >> right. >> in new york, not only do the men do it, but the women do it. this is worse than locker room talk. this would be considered totally inappropriate to say these things in front of a woman and for a woman to say this in a professional setting, that's just trashy. >> that comment even outraged huckabee's former colleague over at fox news. >> i do have news for you before i let you go. we are not only swearing. we're drinking. we're smoking. we have premarital sex and boss a bunch of men. >> i don't want to hear that. >> that is just reality, gov. >> then we have governor chris

christie. this guy has attitude problems and a bad temper. it is well documented. this week christie announced his new leadership pac. it is called pay attention, leadership matters for america. social media world is having a little bit of fun with this ak acronym. someone in the christie world should have noticed that christie's pac is lmfao. enough said. there is dr. ben carson who compared america's founding fathers to isis. then we have rand paul who has turned to producing fake phone calls. >> maybe we can work something out, you know? we both agree on so many issues. bigger government common core

amnesty for illegal immigrants. >> well we've both got problems. i have all those damn conservatives. what say we make a deal? sorry, hillary. i have to go. mitt keeps calling. >> for crying out loud. >> what is it about the republicans? they just seem to be addicted to these fake phone calls. kind of going around. jeb bush is the only one walking out of the first month of all of this conversation the month of january, unscathed. jeb avoided steve king's freedom summit, which basically kept him out of trouble and out of the headlines for all the good reasons, but let's get back to mitt romney for just a moment and what this means for the republican party. mitt floated the idea to donors that he really wanted to be president and then it got some serious conversation. let's point out that the polls out there show that mitt's not a

total reject. he's a likable guy, a nice guy. where mitt stumbled early on is he's really going to do something about poverty. he really wants to run a campaign focused on the middle class. that's four years late mitt. you can't get that dog to hunt. the bottom line is the republicans know that the middle class will be a big player. they were in the last election and they'll be a big player in 2016. so they got to come up with somebody who is not bane somebody who is not wall street somebody who can relate to the middle class and that's probably going to be a governor somewhere, but it isn't going to be mitt romney. he repeatedly is at the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong message. remember those commercials with bob dole?

after he lost to bill clinton in 1996, he did some commercials. i just can't win. that's where mitt romney is right now. everybody likes mitt but wrong message, wrong candidate, wrong time. i find it interesting in a statement today he was talking about a lot of people are asking me if i'm going to get back into it. it's unlike. you're either in or out. it sounds at least today, that he's out. tonight's question -- are you sad mitt romney isn't running for president? text "a" for yes. text "b" for no. we'll bring you the results later on in the show. let me bring in bob shrum and jonathan alter. great to have you with us. bob, you first.

what's your read on mitt romney saying no? >> i think if you listen to the tape that he clearly, desperately wanted to run, he tested the waters found out they were very chilly. new poll out in iowa today shows that he is unfavorable going up. i think he had a fundamental problem here. i think people are not only tired of him, but they are just too many mitts. there's the massachusetts moderate. the severely conservative model. he suddenly merged as a tribune of the poor. it is just not believable. he doesn't stand for any big idea, any core set of convictions that would hold a group of loyalist voters to him through thick and thin. >> a new poll has mitt romney at

21%, huckabee 11%, jeb bush at 10%. did he get a real harsh tongue lashing from somebody? don't do this? >> i think it is in that statement he made earlier today. he could have gotten the nomination, and i think he could have. but you did not hear mitt romney say i could have won the election. the reason is because hillary is just crushing him in head to head matchups the way she is the other republicans. i think he didn't really see a path to victory in november when he took a really hard look at it. and he thought as he mentioned, a younger republican clearly not jeb bush whom he doesn't like with more of a middle-class message that he can offer, because some of these guys are middle class, they might have a better chance

against the democrat. i think mitt romney is right. this wasn't a good day for democrats because it would have been an answer to their prayers to have mitt go again against hillary clinton. he would have lost again the way he did to obama. this is good news for jeb bush who doesn't have competition from another establishment candidate. and i would argue that it's not so good news for some of the anti-establishment republicans who can no longer look forward to the establishment candidates splitting that wall street finance vote. having said that you know you got to say that there are people in this race there are a dozen of them who have not been getting very much attention who could be very plausible nominees like scott walker who did well at that iowa forum recently. >> yeah. bob, what about jeb bush? he impresses me -- or the

impression i have of jeb bush as a candidate is he's not going to say something that's going to knock him off the stage. i just played a litany of some sound bytes that are not favorable to republicans. it seems to me that jeb bush has the political moxie, the polish that he can stay out of the big trouble trouble. what's your read on it? >> he is the best republican candidate, at least on paper. we'll have to see how he performs, but i bet he'll do pretty well. i think the establishment is going to coalesce around him. they're not going to go to chris christie. some of them will but most of them won't. new jersey is in a complete fiscal mess. jeb bush favors some sort of immigration reform. he favors the common core standards in education, and he says you shouldn't win the

nomination in a way that prevents you from winning the election, so we're going to have a test of that. we're going to see whether or not he's going to hold to that as he goes through these primaries. when you get into those debates, somebody will say will you agree to support a constitutional amendment to outlaw same sex marriage. some will want to hear that. that really puts you in a very difficult position demographically in the general election. i'm not sure romney's poll lead in that fox news poll would have held when he got into this contest. i think the numbers really raise some doubts about whether he could have competed well in iowa. >> what about the coke brothers? it's no secret they can never

really warm up to mitt romney. what factor are they going to play into this? >> they're talking about close to $900 million. just think about that number for a second. that we would have one family that would be giving close to a billion dollars to buy the american presidency. this is banana republic stuff. this is not our nation. harry reid and some others try to make the coke brothers a bit of an issue in 2014. it didn't work. i think they should keep at it. you should essentially have the coke brothers on the ballot in 2016. the american public really needs to know that we're talking about a kind of finance coup d'eta

anomaly. it's very very important that everybody, not just liberal democrats, everybody talk about what it would mean if the coke brothers get to determine this election. you have all these republicans who are sucking up to them left and right. it is a pathetic specktacle. every time they kiss the ring it should be very big news. people should be asking these republicans relentlessly what are you offering these guys in return. they all have big interests. the coke brothers have huge regulatory issues that involve billions of dollars for them so this is an investment by the coke brothers and it needs to be covered that way. >> jonathan bob, gentlemen, thank you so much for the

conversation. thank you. remember to answer tonight's question there at the bottom of the screen. thanks for the like on facebook. we always want to know what you think. coming up congressman steve's past comes back to haunt him. we'll look at who is planning to oppose him in 2016. later, the patriots look to put deflategate behind them as they play for a fourth super bowl title. rapid response panel weighs in. stay with us. 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.

before larry instantly transferred money from his bank of america savings account to his merrill edge retirement account. before he opened his first hot chocolate stand calling winter an "underserved season". and before he quit his friend's leaf-raking business for "not offering a 401k." larry knew the importance of preparing for retirement. that's why when the time came he counted on merrill edge to streamline his investing and help him plan for the road ahead. that's the power of streamlined connections. that's merrill edge and bank of america. welcome back to "the ed

show." a former kkk leader may run for office again in an effort to oust steve scalise. last month, scalise admitted he spoke before a group of white supremists and neonazis. he called it a mistake i regret. that's not sitting well the group's founder. >> i call upon steve scalise to step down. in fact, he should resign. this guy is a sellout. he's a sellout. whose to say he was david duke without the baggage? >> he is a grand wizard of the

cue ku klux klan. >> he's basically condemning the whole people of his district who voted for me to be their u.s. senator and for me to be their governor. he's insulting every one of the members who voted for him because he's suggesting they're racist because they supported my views. >> joining me tonight my guests. great to have you with us tonight. >> thank you, ed. happy birthday. >> well, it's always good to get the happy birthday after the birthday because that means you didn't tip over. john, what do you make of this aggressive nature of david duke? i mean he is just going after

ska leeszcalise scalise. >> steve scalise has made his bed, but he can't lie in it because his friends need the white sheets. david duke is very good at getting his name in the press. david duke is a guy who takes a lot of money from racists, so much money from racists that is hard to tell where david duke's racism begins and the grifter hood ends. this is a man who went to jail for federal tax fraud. that's his pedigree. he's never going to mount a serious challenge against steve scalise. he is not going to -- the gop's problem is they kept steve scalise. the democrats have not called for his ouster because he compared himself to david duke.

it can only help the democrats. i don't see david duke doing him any real harm. >> exactly. in some strange way this helps scalise because it makes him look like a moderate compared to david duke. the conservative thing is they don't need any kind of this conversation. david duke brings nothing to the conservative movement does he? >> no. david duke sounds like a jilted lover who is angry that scalise has denied the relationship they once had. david duke ran in that district in 1999 in a special election and got 19% of the vote. came in third. what if david duke got 45% of the vote? democrats don't want a guy like

scalise. they want a white supremacist. >> david duke was a nightmare for president george bush sr. when he ran for governor. it forced bush to endorse a democrat. david duke was a member of the nazi party. they are separate groups that admire each other's work. >> looking another this scalise story, he's played it off as an error in judgment. republicans are willing to say all sins forgiven because you're a heck of a lot better than duke. i think it is upside for scalise. turning to the state of texas. newly elected molly white used

texas muslim capital day in austin texas, to spread islamophobia. i left an israeli flag on the desk in my office with instructions for staff to ask representatives from the muslim community to renounce islamic terrorist groups and publicly announce allegiance to america and our laws. we'll see how long they stay in my office. white dismissed criticism. i do not apologize for my comments above. if you love america, obey our laws and condemn islamic terrorism. dean, what's your response to this? there's no room whatsoever if you're not of the christian faith. that's how i read this coming out of right-wing texas. >> alarmingly, you are absolutely right. it is marginalizing muslim

americans like myself involved in politics. we're not american enough. we're not patriotic enough. you can discriminate against us and it is okay. the republicans have been doing this for years and it's growing. you might see a pivot by republicans to turn to muslims. we're 1% of the country. you can demonize us and democrats do not stand up for us. they are silent. i wish democrats and other progressives would say this is wrong. no faith or any faith. >> exactly. >> john doesn't it seem like they clearly connect a faith of mostly peaceful people to a terrorist organization and terrorist activities which is horribly unfair?

that would be like saying every christian believes that abortion clinics ought to be bombed. >> exactly right. that's the christian version of terrorism, ed. it is very much like david duke in that you don't now how racist this politician is. i'm of the opinion that most republicans are not bigots. most republicans do not despise our muslim brothers and sisters. i miss the days of george w. bush reminding people that muslims are not an enemy of the community. here's the thing. over in israel they got gay marriage, women can serve in the military. they have socialized health care big time. >> sure. >> they have free abortion. i guess republicans don't mind paying for it if the money is

going to israel. >> got to give you gentlemen the opportunity to comment on the story of the day. i was disappointed that mitt romney is not going to be the candidate. >> this guy could make history and be the candidate and win. i thought it would have been an interesting candidate and he was going to crush jeb bush on some level and chris christie. now those guys are back in play. >> he gave every indication he was going to run, i guess we shouldn't act surprised that he flip-flopped. this is the equivalent of the inflatable guy outside after car dealership. it will give him time with his family. i love ann romney. >> i think there are some big donors that told mitt mitt we're in the image business this time around. we have to find some way to

connect to the middle class. we're not going to do it with your background, with your bane background, your wall street background your outsourcing record. we can't get around that. the republicans desperately want the white house. if they don't find some way, some fresh new face or some new approach to connect with the middle class, we have no chance of winning the white house. mitt just can't reinvent himself on that level. i think it is that basic, that simple. >> is jeb bush that fresh a face? and mitt is one of the best public speakers in the party. he is a better debater than senator clinton. i think he could have given her a run for her money. a lot of his core has already committed themselves elsewhere. i think scott walker is going to have a better shot at those coke dollars. >> gentlemen, always good to have you with us on "the ed show." coming up, the seahawks

welcome back to "the ed show." appreciate all your questions. we love hearing from our viewers viewers. first question from julie. what made some of the democrats vote for the keystone xl pipeline bill? well look at jobs in their own backyard. casey, pennsylvania lots of fracking going on. natural gas. same time thing with bennett in colorado. high camp in north dakota. montana, big oil country.

i don't know what carper is thinking about. i'm disappointed that the democrats, wherever they have oil in their backyard, is where the votes went. it is so terribly unnecessary. here's why the republicans wanted keystone. the republicans wanted keystone because they have not been involved in job creation and they have not partaked in anyway helping the president bring this country out of the great recession, so they need something to talk about. hey, we're about jobs. we passed keystone. this was the first thing they did when they got legislative power. now they've got something to talk about. i know it is only 42,000 jobs and it is part-time, but now they're in the job talk. they haven't helped at all on 58

months of private sector job growth, 11 million jobs and they have had nothing to do with the automobile recovery. let's also point out that the coke brothers are going to make billions of dollars off the keystone pipeline. doesn't it make sense to help out your allies that are funding you to the tune of $2 billion in the next election cycle? our next question is from steve. who do you want to win the super bowl? first of all, i just want to make sure i cook right because i'm going to do some cooking. i'll show you that coming up here on "the ed show." it pains me to tell you i don't care when is the super bowl. i want to see a great game. i want to see a fourth quarter finish. lots of big plays and lots of controversial replays. that is what the nfl is about

welcome back to "the ed show." thanks for watching tonight. there's two things we know about

the super bowl. it is definitely on sunday and the commercials aren't cheap. seattle has an explosive offense led by quarterback russell wilson. when he gets in the open field, he's very dangerous. they have a great power runner in marchshawn lynch. that's the key for seattle. make them contain you. seattle's defense could be the deal breaker. they are the best defense in the league on scoring. they allowed only 15.9 points in a game for the season. earlier today, pete carroll said his team is ready to go. >> everybody's in good shape for us. we're ready to go. fortunately, we made it through without getting nicked. we're ready for it. it is really getting close.

we can feel it. >> all right. the patriots they are a one-point favorite going into this thing. six-time super bowl quarterback tom brady is one of the greats. three super bowl rings, brady should never be underestimated whether he has the cold, the flu or anything else. bill belichick said they are ready for seattle. >> it is a huge challenge to pre prepare for the seattle seahawks. >> unfortunately for the patriots deflategate is going to be hanging over them on sunday. commissioner roger goodell addressed the controversy. >> as you would expect we take

seriously anything that potentially impacts the integrity of the game. we are focusing principally on two questions. why were some footballs used in the game that are not in compliance with the rules? and was this the result of deliberate action? i want to emphasize we have made no judgments on these points, and we will not compromise the investigation by engaging in speculation. >> i find this really strange. why in the world would the commissioner address this issue this close to the game if they want everybody focused on the game and not focused on the investigation of the afc championship game? all things aside, i think it is going to be a close game. the latest spread from vegas has it within a field goal. i think it is going to be a

fourth quarter deciding game. i don't know how many super bowls you have been around. been a lot of them no doubt about it. i want to know who is focused, who is not focused, has this been a week of distraction for the patriots? >> this about number 25 or 26. i stopped counting after about 10 or 12 but seattle is going to win this game. this is going to have nothing to do with anything -- deflategate or what have you. i talked to brian billick yesterday. brian pointed out something very interesting. in these situations players don't care. that's the same with the patriots. you look at media day. bill belichick, mr. uptight,

shows up in flip-flops. what's going to win this game for seattle? you eludealluded to it earlier. they have this other worldly defense. they have russell wilson, who never loses to super bowl winning quarterbacks. he's 10-0. go seattle. >> the thing about wilson that is so impressive is that his game is when he gets outside the tackles, he is a total threat. number one, he has tremendous speed. he has good quickness. he sees the field, and he can throw on the run. this is a huge threat to the patriots defense, and their pass-rush is going to have to contain this guy. you can't just rush in on him and go to the fire wall. you have got to contain them. if the patriots can do that in some fashion -- if you notice for three quarters, the packers

were able to contain him. it wasn't until the fourth quarter when wilson got outside and on the perimeter that the whole game turned around. what about that? >> you're right. one of the things bill belichick pointed out today is what he really likes about the seattle team is he has never seen a team play hard for 60 minutes all the way through. we saw that in the nfc championship game. terrible game for russell wilson but there he was. he's one of those magic guys when it counts. >> terrence what is the situation with defensive back richard sherman? is he 100%? he was hanging on to his arm late in the game a couple of weeks ago. >> the ligament damage, he has the last treatment on that and he should be ready to go. these guys are going to lie

about that. one of the first things to watch early in that super bowl is how many times tom brady goes after richard sherman, and it's going to happen. earl thomas has a bad shoulder problem. it's going to be something to see, how that's going to take place. tom brady is getting over a cold also. he is saying he is okay but again, you don't know until they kick the ball off. >> terrence why did the nfl have a press conference today and the commissioner throw deflategate back on the page? the timing of this is just horrendous, i think. >> i have covered so many super bowls. i go back to the days of pete rozelle. we're talking about 1980. roger goodell is no pete rozelle. i was sitting there in this press conference and i was

thinking roger goodell reminds me of one of those voices you hear on a self-meditation tape. he insulted or eded our intelligence talking about we have made no judgment on deflategate. they already know who did it. they already know how it is done because common sense tells you that. joe minnesota was in the press room making the rounds. he said there's no secret as to who did this. everybody knows who did this. he couldn't name the exact person. the nfl is just stringing this out because they don't want anything to interfere with the super bowl. but at the same time, they're distracting from the super bowl. >> all right, terrence moore, great to have you with us tonight. get a good seat. the game is going to be on nbc

welcome back to "the ed show." thanks for joining us tonight. so the big game is on sunday. everybody likes to do something special for super bowl sunday. i'm not a big party guy. i like to be around family and friends, but one thing i really like to do is cook. this is where we're going to have our little super bowl gathering on sunday and this is what we're going to cook. we've got the big tv ready to go we've got the bar right there. we've got our couch all together ready to go. what i'm going to do this sunday is i'm going to be cooking deer sausage. oh, do i love the way they make it here in detroit lake minnesota. this is just regular deer sausage right here. then this are deer brats injected with cheese. ooh, this is just so awesome. and, of course not everybody looks like dear sausage, and if somebody else comes along, you got to be ready and have plebt

of plenty of hamburger ready to go. i got this down in iowa. i went to the steak fry back in september. how are you going to feed all these people? i went back to where they were doing all the cooking and they had a bunch of these grills. they're called classic cooking grill. look at all this room i've got here. you can cook 50 hams on this thing. this is for big parties, big picnics. this one's got four doors, this one has a couple different levels. it is big time propane. you got two 50 gallon deals going on here. i could feed the seahawks and the patriots all at once if they ever stop by guaranteed. cooking deer sausage and deer brats. what a lot of people do they just take this and they throw it right in a pan of water. and to me that's a waste of food. you don't get any of the flavor you don't get any of the texture. it just tastes totally different. this is the only way the cook these things.

and don't thaw them out. i like putting them right on the grill frozen. lay these babies right on there. let it go. and watch the temperature. this is simple and you can watch the game and let this thing go. and oh, by the way, if you're on a sugarless diet like i am you can still eat a lot of this stuff and lose weight. i've dropped 15. we're getting real close to doing what i call testing. oh, yeah. ooh, got a ways to go yet. mm-hmm. oh is that good. then when you start testing, you can't stop testing. that's the problem. ooh, look at that sausage right there. look at that. that baby's ready to go. mm. all you got to do is get a little bit of ketchup or mustard or whatever you want to put on it. and keep it simple. look at this cheese injected in

there. i just love that. i'm ready for the game right now. how about you? that's "the ed show." i'm ed schultz. "politics nation" with reverend al sharpton starts right now. >> thanks to you for tuning in. america's gearing up for the super bowl and coming up we've got a lot of the big game and on the big game including rev al's "politics nation's" super bowl party. stick around for that. hey, catch this one. we start with tonight's lead. president obama's going on offense against the republicans. the president is mocking the gop for trying to steal a page from his progressive playbook. >> my hope is that they join us. and one good piece of news is i notice that even though their policies is haven't
