marcus bachman.lth clinic he runs reportedly practices repairtive therapy, aimed at converting homosexuals into heterosexuals. in case you missed it, here's what he told a talk radio program just last year. >> we have to understand barbarians need to be educated. they need to be disciplined. and just because someone feels it or thinks it doesn't mean that we're supposed to go down that road. that's what's called the sinful nature. >> barbarians. joining me now is michelle goldberg, a senior contributing writer at "the daily beast" and mike rodgers. michelle, are there things that we don't know about michele bachmann that we're going to find out? >> i think that we are slowly finding unite just how extreme both of them are and how rooted they are in a fundamentalist sub culture, but is probably not a minority among the republican party, it's foreign to much of the united states. some of this really vitriolic language they've used about gay people -- michele bachmann in one of her speeches in 2006 talk

i'll give michele bachman credit. she actually made a non-fox appearance unlike other none-romney republican options. speaking of whom, why was palin in iowa. >> sarah palin is in iowa tonight to attend a movie premiere. but it's not just any movie. the film is called "the undefeated" and offers a positive portrait of her life and career. >> jon: another two things. first, the documentary about the losing vice presidential candidate in the 2008 election is called "the undefeated." ( laughter ) second, you're clearly running for president. >> what we say on the fishing boat stays on the fishing boat. you don't need to be announcing anything. >> jon: yes, why announce. it would ruin this sliious will she or won't she tension. and we all know that's what killed "moonlighting." governor palin, i certainly hope you're running for president, because if you're not, if you're just riding around in a giant bus with your name on it to catch caucus state premieres of a documentary about yourself? that's freaky. ( laughter ) does

. >> and bachman is still on the first screen as you saw there. >> and she's rising actually. and romney is staying stat, which is not good for the republicans. unfortunately huntsman, who i think comes with a great background, again his announcement was very blah. he hasn't made any noise. he's been very milk toast. i think for many americans, they're not hearing him. >> not doing well in the latest numbers. >> no. >> president obama. i want to show you these numbers too. basically when you take a look at the margin of error, 42-39, we're seeing some of the lowest numbers for the president at the moment. dissatisfaction with what's happening now in washington, d.c. regarding the debt ceiling, what do you think? >> i think it's dissatisfaction across the board. i think the republican message has been very clear and very strong whereas president obama until very recently, last week, hasn't been driving home the things that he's done. he's done a lot of compromising and been a little wishy-washy and until he bucks up and gets strong and says hey, you know how i feel about polls,

no, all they are saying is i hate michelle bachman, i hate sarah palin. and then conservative blogs say, oh, they use the f-word, and then they get eight billion times more viewers. why aren't we talking about your show that will lead into this show? it is five a five for the two-hour feature film, greg gutfeld on fox. >> have i to say the show i was on did a wonderful job. maar is a comedian. are we overreacting here? is he an angry guy? >> first of all we are 30 seconds into the show. >> i was gloating. >> and it is a joke. secondly, it is not sexist. it just happens to be about a woman. i think he is a funny guy, but he is the angriest person anybody knows. we are acquaintances on the comedy scene. he is an angry person. he orders pizza angrily. when he says that he would [bleep] her angrily, that's how heshas sex with people. it is always angrily. i just want to point out, no more f-words today. we already had four. >> fortuitous? which are we talking about? >> i will say that when he uses the word angrily "f" he is afraid of using the word rape. he u

chris wallace asked the flake question to michelle bachman. i better watch myself there. mike coming after me. pete, your take? >> listen, it's not going to affect michelle bachman at all, because the people who are going to vote for her agree with the hate and venom that she and her husband spread toward gay americans. i think the question is how many closeted gay republicans are going to choose to vote for michelle bachman. the idea that home -- homosexuality is a choice is a joke. >>> how much will money matter in this race? dana? >> well, money obviously money talks in politics and he's got the backing of fciu, fcio, the teachers unions. he's got a lot of money in this, which poses the question, i thought democrats were for the little guy? >> cornell? >> two things. what's wrong with that gay guy who is going to go to michelle bachman's clinic for counseling? that guy is kind of crazy. but here's the thing, 90% of the funding came from small donors under $250,000. no pack money, no lobbyist money. this is a grassroots that he built on in 2008 and continues today. >> p

why is he saying good things about romney and bachman. >> he suffers from add. if he isn't getting enough attention he is disordered. he is always saying stuff to try to keep his name public. there is a grand democratic strategy to try to stop romney from getting the republican nomination because i think he is the candidate they fear the most. what this dose when obama went out and he said mitt romney's healthcare plan is just terrific for massachusetts and now bill clinton is saying mitt romney wants to fight people who are too far to the right, both of those statements are, you know, poising kisses because they both are telling the republican primary voters don't trust this buy it. >> that is interesting. you say this is a concerted effort on the part of big-time democrats like president obama and bill clinton to praise mitt romney to damn him. >> well, it is not only that they are praising him. they are not saying oh, mitt romney would be a great president. >> bill: praising him on their terms. >> he likes health care. >> bill: it is to give him the back knee

should ba michelle bachman help?ly declared famine and a difficult decision for saving lives versus working with terrorists. you are in "the situation room" >> jack cafferty is here with the cafferty file. >> michelle bachman is on a roll. the "wall street journal" poll found the minnesota congresswoman in second place. among candidates for president among mitt romney. the second poll that got her in second place. she came out on top in three of the four most recent polls with likely voters in the iowa caucuses they reported yesterday bachman suffers from debail tating migraine headaches they are bad enough she has to be taken to the hospital to be treated. three aides to bachman who spoke recalled incidents where she couldn't work and missed house boats because of the migraines. another staffer told politico it's common to retreat to the private office and close the door and shut off the lights, sometimes for hours while wait figurar i headache to pass. on the campaign trail, bachman admitted she suffers from migrai

romney at 30% be, bachman at 16. those new numbers follow report that is bachman suffers from migraine headaches, questions about whether her condition would effect her ability to perform as commander in chief, bachman denying that. today we'll talk to karl rove about bachman's strong new poll numbers and chris christie going to iowa and everything else. heather: yeah, and bachman's surge may be coming at the expense of fellow minnesotan tim pawlenty. the former governor now considered an underdog in the first caucus state of iowa. a key straw poll set to be held there next month. pawlenty now embarking on an 18-city tour of the hawkeye state. stuck in the single digits in some polls. he's plowing about $200,000 into tv ads. the big best candidate ads -- biggest candidate ads by far in iowa so far by with pawlenty. bill: we'll talk to karl about that too. plenty on the plate. those are just some of the stories we're wamping on america's -- watching on "america's newsroom." also following chaos in a major u.s. city. h

>> michelle bachman clearly ahead in the polls right now.version of that in ames about a month from now. that will be a great measuring point and way that they line up after michele bachmann if she is the winner there will be interesting. where do we see pawlenty and romney and perry. >> greta: and as luck could have it fox news channel has the debate right before the straw poll. we got the good positioning on that one. >> book your rooms in ames. >> greta: we'll have that. if she wins tonight in a caucus tonight in iowa and goes on to new hampshire tomorrow, romney is back where he has a summer home, is that when takes over? >> i think romney presumes to be the frontrunner in new hampshire. i don't think anybody is locked up, though. we are six months out. when you get into the heat of the battle odd things happen. having rick perry is an unknown dynamic. he looks good from the outside. once he gets in and gets roughed up a little bit, how does he weather it. >> greta: senator rick santorum, i keep getting e-mails of people he locked up as

they reported that bachman suffers so severely she had to concancel events and missed votes. reporter brian ross tried to question her at that rally today in south carolina. he asked her whether she missed a house vote because of this and she refused to answer. he followed her into a parking area behind the stage and according to time reporter michael crowley who watched this unfolding, the aides grew alarmed. when he made a bee line, they pounced on ross, grabbing him, pushing him. he said he had never seen a reporter treated roughly at a presidential campaign event. cnn spoke to him. >> they were man handling and pushing him. at one point looked like they were holding him back and pulling him away from her and he was trying to ask her the question. she just ignored the question. he repeated it over and over and she ignored it and got in her car and drove away. brian told me afterwards that i asked him immediately, did he think that was unusual and inappropriate to have that kind of treatment? he said that he had had that kind of treatment before, but it was by mafia people.

bachman release adler today from the attending physician of the u.s.gress, it says bachman's headaches are infrequent. >>> according to the rasmussen poll, 43% of likely voters would support mitt romney compared to 42% who would support the president. the president led the gop front runner by five points just this last april. >>> we have some sad news tonight, former all pro san francisco 49ers center, forest blue has died at the age of 65. he was a four-time pro bowl center and helped the 49ers win three straight division titles back in the early '70s. now he will help scientists study degenre tiff brain disease. the "san francisco chronicle" reports that he has donated his brain to boston university. researchers there are studying the effects of injuries to football players. >>> dozens of nfl players are claiming football owners covered up dangers of head injuries as a result of serious hits on the field. john faller live tonight in pleasant hill to explain the lawsuit. >> reporter: this is a federal case, about risks on the football field and brain

[inaudible] >> you mean it is unfair to throw michele bachman in the same boat with sarah palin? think she emerged from that comparison monday night. i think michele bachman is magnificent and i also think you can't win the presidency from the house of representatives. if any of you are from minnesota you better go back and do some organizing so she can run for governor or at least senate. you see they take my orders. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. [applause] >> please form an orderly line. ann coulter will be signing books. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> nice to see you again. you are such a great man. i keep seeing you at these things and don't get to talk to you. >> you have a lot of fans here but i want to say hello. nice to see you. >> broke spier's. nice to meet you. for judy -- [inaudible conversations] >> very nice young man. >> that one is for steven and judy. >> for stephen and who? [inaudible conversations] >> the third one is actually 9. supposed to be to marry kate and diane. >> you are not mary kate. >> last t

. >> greta: what does this do to representative bachman? up the backside of romney. >> romney is the clear frontrunner right now. who could be the other person. this in one sense clearly takes away from bachman's attempt to be the antiromney and cuts deeply into her support because he has strong ties with the tea party wing where michelle bachman was sprung into the national spot light. he immediately becomes a legitimate first tier contender. >> greta: i find it curious that romney is as far ahead as he is right now because he has been virtually invisible. a report today that he spent $5 million in the last three months campaigning. obviously not in iowa. but he has been invisible. >> and all of the other candidates are trying to engage him because they know that he is the frontrunner. he is choosing his spots and going against the president and is not really actively engaging in the cam page. you see governor pawlenty talking about the miles he is putting on in rvs in iowa. you will not see anything like that from governor romney. >> gret

let's start with you, michael, michelle bachman -- bachman is now a candidate. >> i think she has benefitted immensely from not being sarah palin. she has much of the appeal but is a better candidate in a lot of different ways. i wouldn't underestimate her strength in iowa. >> lehrer: born there. >> tea party appeal, strong evangelical appeal, that is a strong combination. and i think that her rise is very bad for tim paw lenty who she has taken a lot of the attention and a lot of the oxygen right now in a period when pawlenty needs to raise his profile and raise some money, it's become harder. >> lehrer: both from the same state. how do you see michele bachmann shns she is he had had a great introduction. i think she's a natural candidate. i think she is a good performer. she has got a natural identification with much of the iowa republican party which is culturally and religiously conservative party. a party thathere mike huckabee did very well in 2008, won the caucus over mitt romney. and i think -- i think right now she's a natural fit. contrast her introduction and first ten days with t

i think michelle bachman has handled this very well. she came out, this is true, i take drugs to manage it. >> along with 30 other million americans. >> reporter: i can function and what i do now as a member of congress and what i am currently doing running a presidential campaign i can absolutely handle this job. martha: it's fascinating on many ways and levels, and surging in the polls. >> reporter: that's yeah they have these kind of questions because she is number two behind mitt romney. martha: thank you. we have brand-new housing numbers. they show this year could be the worst since the housing bust. what this means for you, our family and what is the biggest investment in most of our lives. a nasty war of words is raging between two house members. have you heard about this? tea party-backed congressman alan west calling dnc chair debbie wasserman schultz vial and despicable. did he cross the line or did she in what prompted this from eupl. and also major nidal malik hasan accused of killing 13 people and wounding 30 others. now t

here is what the bachman team said. in no uncertain terms, congresswoman bachman believes that slavery was horrible and economic enslavement is also horrible. and senator santorum's aide has also responded. >> michele bachman also involved in a war of words with tim pawlenty, right? south florida all about iowa. crucial state. first caucus state. very important for bachman to do well in, and pawlenty. he's known as mr. nice guy. the last couple of days, he has had tough words against bachman saying her record is nonexistence. she said we're only a month away from a crucial straw poll in iowa. i think you'll hear more of this battle between republican candidates. >> thank you so much. you can get the latest political news on cnnpolitics.com. >>> nasa is tracking space debris that may threaten the international space station. right now, they don't know that it will put the crew in any jeopardy. they do know it will come close to the iss tomorrow, the same time that the u.s. astronauts plan a spacewalk. >>> it was a busy w

one of those blog is is dedicated to criticizing michelle bachman. behind the scenes with an interview on the people who run that blog. carl cameron live from washington. >> reporter: the political blogs have been around for a longtime. back in the clinton administration they became potent as a way for critics and opponents of political candidates to get their research out to the public and it's really exploded this year. they are out there for most of the republican candidates. there is one for michelle bachman that has caused a stir and seeped into the mainstream media. it's called dump bachman.org. it's a collection of video and audio on michelle bachman since her days as a state legislature. she is leading in polls and making a heck of a lot of noise and some of the information from the dump bachman web page, the blog has actually ended up in mainstream press, like the l.a. times and rolling stone, magazine, there you see it the dump bachman blog has got even a lot of attention. we talked to the organizers, and they say they are only trying to se

he has been insulting michelle bachman since michelle bachman showed up on this scene.and it, because she is just fodder for him. but that's the kind of low brow msnbc kind of coverage you get now, it's just not worth our time. >> brent, thank you for joining us, weighing in on michelle bachman. i'm sure we'll be talking to you lot throughout these elections. >> thank you. >> all right. remember the release of the gas pump. why the white house planned to open our reserves has not exactly worked. then don't count him out. newt gingrich here live to fire back at his critics who claim he has already lost the race for the white house, coming up. i have fallen in love with makg bird houses. caw caw! [ director ] what is that? that's a horrible crow. here are some things that i'll make as little portals. honestly, i'd love to do this for the rest of my life so i've got to take care of my heart. for me, cheerios is a good place to start. [ male announcer ] got something you'll love to keep doing? take care of your heart. you can start with cheerios. the natural whole grain oat

has she eclipsed you and why should someone pick you over bachman? what is the choice between you and bachman? >> the choice is real simple. my entire career has been problem solving, not politics. that poll may not reflect it but the numbers that we have gotten in our first report reflect a little bit different story. secondly, if you look at the latest gallup poll in terms of positive intensity, i lead all candidates in terms of positive intensity. second little, within the last six weeks my name i.d. has gone from 21% to 48%. >> chris: versus bachman, are you different on the issues? >> we are close on the issues. we are different on the fact that i have more direct hands on problem solving experience. that is where we differ. issue wise we are very close and i said that before. the difference is my entire career as a problem solver and business executive at pillsbury, burger king, the problem solving approach is where i have stronger credentials than literally many of the other candidates. >> chris: let me ask you a question and we get to the bot

michele bachman from minnesota shows current and met romney in a dead heat >> gop candidate michele bachman chat with people as she took her bus tour through wear a state >> it is so wonderful the way back, an iowa >> the minnesota of congress one eye we wanna do very well here with the election coming up in august we're looking forward to >> this is less than a week when she an officially announced her candidacy. >> i was first in the nation eye accounts it is important that we come pierre >> not all candidates are participating in that poll. >> still to come on kron 4 news sports and highlights and the giants to one not a big. another look outside it golden gate bridge and look at that no fog and hardly any traffic that is even better will be back in just a minute it is either alabama's out there the giants beat the tigers 15-3 the giants have won the last nine of their games. meanwhile the diamondbacks defeated the a's. the diamondbacks want a four-two and in she won the first title she is only 21 years old it was big of set. this is the biggest title of her career and she is a left- han

michelle bachman has taken much of yours: you are back at one percent .hy can someone pick you over bachman. what is the choice? >> the choice is simple. my entire career has been problem solving, not politics. that poll may not refrect - reflect it. the numbers reflect a different story. if you look at the latest gall up poll and in terms of positive intensity. i lead all candidates in terms of positive intensity. my name id went from 21% to 48 percent. >> are you different on the issues? >> we are close on the issues. if we are different on the fact that i have more direct hands on problem solving experience. that's where we differ. i said that before. my entire career as a problem solver and business executive . the problem solving approach is where i have stronger credentials than literally many of the other candidates. >> we get to the bottom line and in your experience, sam brownback finished third in the straw poll and felt after all of the campaigning, he had to drop out. don't you have to finish that well in iowa. >> i believe we will finish in t

newly declared candidate michelle bachman visiting a cedar rapids farmers market where she spoke and shook hands. this is the first trip the minnesota congresswoman has made to that state, which kicks off the presidential campaign season. bachman will take her bus tour to several other cities over the next few days. >>> well, we've got a spare-the-air day today because it's really going to be hot. >> yeah. we will see numbers over 100 degrees around concord and livermore and antioch and brentwood. emeryville looking nice. bagged in sunshine. many areas already in the mid-and upper 60s. 49 half moon bay. i will tell you where you can escape the heat and a looka head to the first week of july coming up. >> and big changes coming to the oakland zoo to make it more of a wild animal park. i'm a dancer. and until now, my feet showed it.

constitutional scholar michelle bachman doesn't understand the 14th amendment. >> he would be making spending decisions and tax decisions. clearly that's unconstitutional. >> we'll review the document for her. and while republicans hold the economy hostage, nobody's thinking about putting americans back to work. tonight, my commentary on how washington and big business need to start hiring. good to have you with us tonight, folks. it's an unbelievable day of news coming out of washington, d.c. house speaker john boehner, i guess you could say is finding out the hard way that a stiff drink and round of golf just isn't going to solve this problem. the speaker is politically hog-tied in his own caucus. he doesn't have the votes. the american people are now witnessing the hourglass being turned on the american economy. going to be a lot of losers if they don't get it together. disaster looms and the tea partiers just don't seem to give a damn. a vote on boehner's bill was scheduled for 6:15 tonight. it never happened. boehner is still trying to strong arm the tea party membership of his

bachman says she's mulling it over. huntsman says he prefers the balanced budget amendment as a stand alone issue. what are the chances of its passage? the house, very good. not so good in the senate where democrats hold a majority. some supporters are very optimistic. >> it's going to pass both houses and i will certainly not vote to raise the debt ceiling until we structural lee change the way this down does business. the only way we can do that is to force politicians to act. if it goes to the states it's not going to take four or five years. the states will move quickly to jump on something like this. i think we'll have it within a year or so. we've got to pass it out of both houses. >> reporter: the balanced budget amendment component of this would require the ratification of two-thirds of the states, that is not an unrealistic goal. the biggest hurdle is getting it through the democrat if i can dy controlled senate. >> reporter: my year is on molly henneberg. every day of the year i'm with molly, thank you very mu

bachman should answer the question.u believe it this crack pot, bigoted theory that there's somehow something to be repaired if you're gay? i can't even say it without laughing because it's such a crack pot theory. congresswoman bachmann apparently participates in the profits of this clinic. in fact the clinic apparently gets state and federal assistance, which is kind of interesting for an anti-government conservative. she should have to answer whether she supports that kind of bigotry. >> well, first of all gets made cade. so when paul makes that case i guess what he is saying only democrats should be able to receive medicaid funds, no republicans, which is nonsense. but secondly, i think when it comes to these very sensitive and social issues, we have to be careful before we put ourselves in other people's shoes. i don't think it's out of the norm for somebody to say, i want to change who i am. and if they do, i told you what my answer would be. i would say, you don't need to. why should you? but if somebody wanted,

jon: when you put michelle bachman in there she got 39% of the votes.he slight difference here is that president obama's number went up slightly to 46% versus 44% for perry. but she has the same number he has. >> again, she is considered one of the leading candidates. you'd have to say that mitt romney, perry and bachman are the top three right now. the odds are better than 50-50 that one of them will be the republican nominee. there are interesting differences in the dynamics, michelle bachman does much better among men, and rick perry a again women. jon: generally, i mean the more interesting race, i suppose, for media watchers is the race for second-place. when you put mitt romney up there against president obama he actually wins 43-42%, that's got to be inside the marriag marginf error, though. >> i would consider that a toss up. the last time we had an incumbent president in the race, howard dean was a frontrunner e polled best against george w. bush. as soon as john kerry became the frontrunner he polled the best. if anybody bests mitt romney i wo

this is what he said last night of michele bachman. it's mostly a side show. nearly in the day he said candidate have to be able to demonstrate they can do all of the job all of the time. looks like maybe he was walking back the comments a little bit. he said about the earlier comments i was talking about all of the candidates, not just michele bachman. i guess stay tuned on that story. >> i feel like i was watching an "snl" skit. take a look. >> chronic pain. my family struggling to make end's meet, food and gas prices going up. even keeping my job was iffy. then i learned about a new miracle drug made in washington, d.c. spenditol. >> paul, what is the deal? >> reporter: this is from a group called concern women for american. saying they are spending $1.5 million on this spoof. it looks like a pharmaceutical ad. they are conservative group and in favor of cut, cap and balance and putting this out on national cable and in crucial states. an interesting way to get your message out in this political battle over the debt ceiling and those kind of matters. >> pau

and miss bachman and others seem to forget why blacks were in this country.s country to farm. and we were slaves and we went on to be sharecroppers and many of us went on to buy and purchase land after the civil war. so many black farmers that are not counted by the u.s. census had problems dealing with the united states department of agriculture. this case says those who attempted to farm and farmed between 1981 and 1996, it didn't say you have to be counted by the census. >> bottom line, you're saying you know, because black farmers couldn't get loans, because of discrimination, you've got a lot of family members, lots of generations here coming forward saying look, we deserve, you know, to get a piece of this settlement? so let me ask you, you know, when you listen to these statements and the fact that she keeps addressing this, i mean, how would you characterize her accusations? do you feel she's racist? >> well, she's going to have a hard time proving to america that she's not racist if she continues to make these kinds of comments. and it's like what i
