. >> i -- >> the rush limbaugh thing was a missed opportunity.'t think it hurt him that badly, it just gave us a lot of weapons to hit him with. but this is a problem. this is terrorism. and if you can't come out and make a strong statement about this -- >> if you are that held hostage when it is an issue of a bomb and terrorism, and you still don't have the backbone to say something -- to me i think women look at that and say, i am sorry, this guy is just a weakling. >> yeah, any voter. and it's an easy one to do. >> i agree with you. so the day-to-day operations of the obama campaign are overseen by women, three women. well, and jim seena too. does romney need to have more female faces attached to his campaign? >> i think it's about quality of the female voices around him. he has the strongest advisor he has is his own wife. and i have read that she is very conscious of not engaging in campaign strategy with the staff, but that she holds back and saves her voice for private conversations. maybe she needs to speak up a little bit more -- >> on t

limbaugh says that.hat says if he were not black, barracksack obama would be nugothing but a tour guide in honolulu to seeday because he doesn't have any intelligence? he says if ithe were not black because the democratic party disown him. he said this in 2008, it would have disowned him? this guy, how can he tell the black community about what's good for them or bad for them. he told the point that it's doing harm to the black community is the edgeknowledge that spafrnlt in 21st century america, a young black kid unarmed can't walk in his own freaking neighborhood in the rain wearing a hoodie without getting shot and killed and the murderer getting away with it. don't you think rush, rush, maybe that's what's doing harm to the black community? and i would add, not only to the black community, but to all americans who care all americans who care about our kids and all americans who care about our system of justiceis and hate to see it trashed because of some outrageous gun law in the state of florida and

colmes, i think this thing is about pay back to rush limbaugh because, remember, limbaugh really griewttleon. and i think that she got teed up by andrea mitchell. she knew it was coming. the fluke story is now a month old. really didn't, you know, she is the secretary of state and it doesn't really have anything to do with her. >> this was about the fact that chelsea had just done an appearance. >> bill: chelsea got off a one liner but why bother. >> she was asked to respond to something chelsea lent had said referring to rush limbaugh criticizing daughter. >> bill: pay back. >> of course. a mother responding to something some guy says about putting down her daughter? >> bill: no. that would have happened 12 years ago. >> no. because it was relevanted base the fact that it had just coming up in this appearance by sandra fluke and hillary clinton and she was responding to a question. she didn't bring it up. she didn't initiate it. >> bill: i think it was pay back. do you think it was pay back. >> she was responding to a question. >> we saw a headline a couple of days ago that said hillary c

that's what i was trying to say to the great rush limbaug limbaugh.macare helps you but you leave off the second part of the equation. for how much? here is the purpose of obamacare. here is pre stuff. it is. it's free. but the next step is we're bankrupt. like your dad bought a boat. now he can't pay the rent. great boat. >> dana: rush's first part of the first equation is not the other goodies people agree with and i think could pass in a bipartisan fashion. the question is on the constitutionality of one provision, the individual mandate. >> kimberly: correct. >> juan: but i'm saying the conservative -- democrat is -- >> dana: the question in front of the supreme court. his point wasn't the announcement of the good stuff that comes with the bill. like kids on the insurance until they're 26, i think that is ridiculous. but that's not what rush is talking about. one thing from the supreme court. just he said what about the people? >> dana: two-third of the people think it's unconstitutional. >> juan: that is not true. two-third of people -- >> juan:

he doesn't have to proclaim that rush limbaugh made a mistake. he can carry on and avoids it and he is not going to pay a political price. >> michael, let me get you in on this. i love to point out all day are you listening to people calling you from around the country to talk on your radio show. what do you make of romney's response? >> there are two reasons he ought to draw a line in the sand with regard to what nugent said. what ted nugent said is abhorent and secondly it will help him politically. the primary season is over. crystal had a great analysis this morning about how all of this money, $2 billion is going to get spent to influence 7% of the people. this doesn't play well for romney with those 7% who blend the brand of nugent, the gop, and romney altogether. politically speaking, beyond the merits, which are darn clear, mitt romney as he should have done with limbaugh should have confronted limbaugh and should confront nugent for that reason as well. >> michael, in the bigger picture politico has an article entitled the year of the su

to think that rush limbaugh, really, everybody, rush limbaugh is the biggest threat to women?hey need to spend time doing a fundraising drive to pay for their own birth control. there you go. >> eric: move on but interesting they, the organization actually backed hillary rosen comments rather than -- >> greg: yeah. they said she lacked, the head said she lacked life experiences. that is misogynistic. this is am with's group that is condemning stay-at-home mom saying when you lack life experiences they are saying you are less than human. >> bob: that statement was entirely different from hillary rosen's. c'mon. >> dana: the next day when she was on tv she was asked to respond about hillary rosen and she defended her and then doubled down and made it worse. >> eric: let's move on. there is the delightful nancy pelosi. exposing the liberal bias against free market capitalism? and legal political donations. watch. >> we have a clear agenda. disclose, reform the system, reduce the role of money and campaign and amend the constitution to rid it of this ability for special interest.

howard dean, do you agree with rush limbaugh? >> no. not now or probably ever.s sant fluke. this has been going on three weeks in some of the polls. this is a disaster for romney. he can't get this back. what women will remember is that in the debates, in these 25 debates or whatever these guys have is that women were not on the radar screen except to treat them as if they were supposed to be in the kitchen. it is the most ridiculous argument on the republican side and it is shocking. the numbers among latinos are even worse. explain how you can alienate two of the largest groups in the country and expect to win the presidency. it's not going to happen. >> steve schmitt. the number for women overall. we were talking about women under 50 but for women overall it is president obama at 54 and romney 36. that's an 18-point gap. there's exactly a one-point gap between president obama and mitt romney among men. so it is a t among men and an 18-point gap among women. if that keeps up, you don't have to know anything else. this thing's over. >> yeah, bad news. lawrence,

they want to make it about rush limbaugh and it's not.ote ben weber former congressman from minnesota, an advisor to every presidential can data. you you quote and i'm paraphrasing but nobody thinks this will matter in a couple of months. >> like again, you know, like this is, you know is this about caterpillars? it doesn't matter. >> yeah. >> these things are trivial. once ash -- and this, by the way, is also the ann romney defense: once we start talking about the economy and jobs, women will forget about all of these issues because they are just like men and all they care about is jobs and money. women, of course, care about that as much as men, but they care about other things, too, and that's where the republican party is attacking them where they live. >> do you see women aware of this and fighting back? >> i think yes. i think first of all, we have seen protests including in fairly red states at state legislature level because all of them are doing some version of that, you know, incredibly draconian virg law involving ultra sound.

day after day, when rush limbaugh demands to see videotapes of sandra having sex, and mitt romney says, that the word slut and prostitute aren't the words he would have chosen. somebody said what would you have said, that would have been okay? rick santorum, the number two candidate, that's where we have come tew. that's what is at stake for women in this year's election. either of those two men could become the nominee for the presidency of the united states and make no mistake, the folks who are trying to defeat president obama are exceptionally well funded and exceptionally well prepared, as melanie said, to suppress our vote. and we have to be ready not to let that happen. i just want to throw in one thing about the other aspect of the war on women that is extremely important, today, the house is scheduled to vote, the vote may already have taken place, on what is known as the ryan budget. have you heard about that? paul ryan from wisconsin, the chair of the house budget committee, has come out with a budget for 2013 that privatizes medicare, forces people out of traditi traditiona

limbaugh and some of his advertisers. you know, there's reaction, and i think he's learned that. >> host: and final question from tony romm of politico. >> host: sure, and i have to ask what is next on the subcommittee's radar other than receiver standards? where do we go throughout the rest of the year? >> guest: there's a lot of work, cybersecurity's coming up next, so we're going to complete our work on that. and then we're also going to do hearings on future of audio, video and data, and we're going to be looking at all of those issues. we're going to get some time to get some oversight on the broadband buildout from the stimulus. most of the oversight ended up, the oversight stopped when the money went out the door, that's kind of the wrong time to stop oversight. are we getting what we're paying for? we're going to be looking at that carefully, overbilled issues and all of that. and we're going to continue to work on spectrum. i'm going to appoint a small working group to look at the government spectrum. i'm glad nt

of rush limbaugh.. dropped actually just in the last few days. so, major companies -- >> bill: is he going to survive? >> well, you know, we'll see. what we see our mission as here is educating these companies that are putting their advertising dollars behind his show and raising the question saying is this good for business? is this kind of speech that's so disrespectful toward women. your grandma would never allow you to talk like that over the airwaves and just this kind of -- it is a disservice. so, just raising the question, is this where -- >> bill: the american people find it disgusting. >> it is bad for business. american businesses are responding very strongly. >> if i can just add in, especially in the air raf citizens united when corporations have been given a blank check literally to advocate for whatever it is that is in their best interest, to have folks like katie and media matters just literally notifying the companies. a lot of them don't realize that their advertising dollars are bein

[laughter] is that slut rush limbaugh here?ill upset with rush limbaugh because of comments he made about sandra. there is a reason he said what he said, and that reason is percocet. just to clear things up for the extreme right wingers. here is the difference between bill maher and rush limbaugh. the people who watch bill know he is an asshole. [applause] this is my first time here. every news organization has its own table. we have numerous members of the print media in attendance. sacripps is here. it reminds me of a riddle. what is black and white and read all over? nothing anymore. [laughter] really. the christie jokes are ok but no? where is the cnn table? are those real tables or virtual tables? every election cnn comes up with new and amazing technology. they still have not figured out a way to make james carville look less like a hairless boiled cat. [laughter] chris matthews wrote a biography of jfk. it is 400 pages long. poor rick santorum was throwing up all night. [laughter] bill o'reilly wrote a book about killing

that man's name is rush limbaugh. this empowered and arrogant man spent three days, three hours every day, excoriating a young law student that had the temerity to talk to the american congress about what birth control means about women. what i loved about watching sandra fluke give her testimony, she was asked, what is your qualifications for talking about birth control. this is what she said. i am a young woman who uses birth control and that makes me an expert in my health care. [applause] the italy's, when she said that, she empowered every single -- beeping -- the thing is, which she said that, she empowered every single woman who uses birth control. it was a brilliant and amazing moment of empowerment. one of the consequences of women not voting in the 2010 is the empowerment of the tea party vote. they are so powerful now that mitt romney has never condemned rush limbaugh's attack on sandra fluke. day after day when rush limbaugh did manage to see a videotape of sandra having sex, mitt romney says the word slut

so i asked her about that, about rush limbaugh and a lot more. when meryl streep introduced you at that same conference, she said of you, it is not a simple job to be a role model. it's an enormous burden but that's what we ask of her. are you willing to take that on? >> well, i don't think of myself that way, but i know that i am considered that in the eyes of many people. and it's a great honor. it is a burden. >> the most popular woman in the world for ten years in a row. >> this is a great honor but it also carries with it a lot of responsibility, which i take very seriously. you know, i feel such a great privilege representing my country and in the role of secretary of state, dealing with you know, all of the front burner issues like the two we just talked about, syria and iran, but also continuing to advocate for the long-term changes like the fulfillment of women's rights as unfinished business in this century. which is good for america and good for the world. >> there is a lot of unfinished business. you deserve a rest after this trip is

that was like him saying about rush limbaugh oh i wouldn't have phrased it that way i would have calledunderstand how people can go -- i don't know what he meant by that. >> next year i will be dead or in jail. >> right. >> and because you know you'll be completely unsuccessful you'll justen up shooting a police officer for no purpose. like that guy in pittsburgh who called the cops to his house and then shot them when they showed up because he said obama was going to take his guns away. they said he is going to take your guns. >> on the second day on his second term. that's what he said. >> they kept the situation in place so the banking could roll in and take everything. you still have your gun, but your house is being foreclosed on, you can't afford laundry, but you still got your gun. >> at least one romney tag, was very excited about the endorsement. that tag he is the rogue romney. >> he was excited that ted was the second musician to endorse romney after kid rock. >> yes. good morning, anne. >> we need two holograms. do a hologram of jim, leave a coffee cup on the stage, and then

. >> rush limbaugh -- >> top 1% pays 36% of all taxes. the bottom 48% pays nothing.bout fair vens. if we were talking about fairness obama would drag the bottom 48% not paying taxes and say your free ride is over. the country can't survive for w you sitting on your couch waiting in for a check in the mail. >> rush limbaugh should not talk about anybody getting up off of the couch. >> it is hard to spin this math and yet they are. >> ronald reagan said he supported what we have come to know as the buffet rule. the other thing to consider is that people that don't pay a federal income tax pays all kinds of other taxes as well. they pay a higher percentage of their income, by the way. >> that's where all of the money is, by the way. >> you know, i would pay -- you know like pay per view or some kind of service to watch rush limbaugh live on $20,000 a year. [ laughter ] >> there is a reality show. >> there you go. [ laughter ] >> where am i supposed to get my housekeepers vitamins. >> i don't understand the world without drinking adult beverages or oxycontin. >> we're in

that can also make it funny as well. >> drug addicts, rush limbaugh always finds his own angle on obamaws comedy shows, there was relentless outrage that the president would appear on a talk show that includes comedy. >> right now, former presidents are like, huh? that's what we do now when we're president of the united states? i think it's nutso. i personally do not agree with the highest office of the land t most important figure in the world going on these comedy shows. >> i think last night was awful. you can't swing a cat without finding president obama on a comedy show. >> this is really weird, for the first time in history, the cooler head at fox news was actually on the shoulders of sean hannity. >> the president kind of looked silly going on this show, i don't care that he goes on a late-night show, that's fine. >> sean doesn't care, but for everyone else at fox news, it was outrageously undignified for the president to appear on a tv show that does comedy. it is just disqualifying for the presidency. and they didn't exactly say this, but they clearly want their audience to bel

. >> rush limbaugh has new competition. mike hick abe former presidential candidate, went live today with his new radio show at noon, same time limbaugh goes on air, and it's really aimed right at rush, looking to peel away some of the market, which is clear from huckabee's slogan, more conversation, less confrontation. >>> thousands of kids and their families took part in an annual tradition in washington. the white house easter egg roll. they hosted 36,000 people, though they have a larger than average backyard. president and first lady started things off on this stunningly beautiful day. president also joined the harlem globetrotters for a basketball game that required him to do push-ups for each basket scored. >>> and hundreds of whale watchers got what they were looking for and more off the coast of san pedro, california. a pod of orca whales came up to their boat, put on a show of life in the wild few people get to see on earth. an amazing sight. we put all of the video and pictures on our website tonight. >>> up next

limbaugh remains number one in the nation by a huge margin. we asked stelter who says the radio factor was a failure? he says media analysts. which ones no reply. when i retired from radio talk in 2009 the factor had 400 stations and grossed many millions of dollars it was among the most profitable radio programs in the country and i was offered millions to keep doing it. so here's some advice for brian stelter. they will teach you to keep your ideology out of your reporting. finally check 6, listen up if you like mom and dad, if you don't like them, you don't have to listen, both have days coming up. both would like nonpredictable gifts like signed copies of killing lincoln. available only on bill o'reilly.com. or mom and dad would like to see an amazing live display. that would be the bolder fresher show. it rolls into new york city on may 12th into indianapolis on june 22nd and into chicago the next day june 23rd. mom and dad will like the show and they will like you for giving them tickets. just looking out for them. details on bill o'reil

rush limbaugh took one look at the new battleground map today and of course, saw it through rush colored glasses. >> i think obama's going to lose in a landslide. there's not one positive thing that's happened in this country since he took office that he can cite. >> joining me now are crystal ball, a democratic strategist and ari melder, a correspondent for the nation and msnbc contributor. we have the big map, the big map should be on the wall there. that's the wallpaper of the show for the rest of the year. because we can never repeat this enough, ignore those polls of the whole country, where they show them tied or they show obama ahead by a couple of points, it all comes down to this map, the toss up states, there's nothing toels think about. >> and we spend a lot of time in the republican primary talking about the fact that the national polls don't matter, you have to look state by state. it's the same by general election, you have to look at these battle ground states. one thing i would point out, there's a tightening in these states recently. what you see if you look there, is bo
