[shouting] let me be clear to him. pensioners are exempt. people with simply disabled children are eccentric people who need round-the-clock care are exempt. those kind of groups of people are all exempt. there's a basic issue of fairnes

mr. romney on the race, his loss, and his and the nation's future. only we have it this morning on this sunday morning right here in the fox newschannel. republican nominee also weighs on the budget mess in washington that he is calling a rare opportunity to solve financial problems. and good morning, everyone, and welcome to america's news headquarters on this sunday morning. i'm eric shawn. >> great to see you, eric. good morning to all of you. i'm jamie colby. mitt romney opening up about settling into his new quiet life after a whirl wind presidential campaign. peter doocy live from our washington bureau with a bit of a preview. what's he been up to, peter? >> reporter: we heard mitt romney say in his heart thought he was going to win. in the time between the presidential election and this week's interview at his house in san diego. he's reviewed all the good and the bad from his campaign and when he talks about his role in the future and wanting to have influence still over republican policy, you get a sense of how hard it is to come so close to

mr. ellison wins this race and do it again. but having said that, i think that if you combine -- and you'll hear this more from the city side. when you combine the reduced costs, the continued economic opportunity that the economists are telling us, the money that we're currently raising, the pledges that we have and the mayor's efforts on the business side, that all total, i believe that the city will come out whole. now, if you want to get into the language of where we're going to raise 32 million, the costs when we saw the big picture the first time could have been 50. and with the economic impact and our 32 could have made that happen. that doesn't appear to be the case any more and i don't think it's ever been memorialized. >> i would say, though, the intent around the 32 million was reimbursing city costs which was 32 million now. it's lower. i expect it is still the intent -- >> supervisor, i would not disagree with you that was clearly the intent going forward. but i still believe that the effort will be a positive effe

mr. speaker. britaiis in the global race not just with our traditional competitor economy but with countries likeil, russia and india and china. ahead of the budget next week and my right honorable friend of the house what assessment he has made of where we are likely to finish in the race? if we abandon our deficit reduction program over but on some magical faraway money, as the party opposite recommends? >> my friend makes a very important point. one of the most important reasons for continuing to get our deficit down is it is essential to have those low interest rates that are essential for homeowners and essential for businesses. and if we abandon those plans, if we listen to the party opposite would have more ending, more borrowing, more dead comics at the things that got us into this mess in the first place. >> mr. nigel dodds. >> thank you, mr. speaker. the rising price of petrol and diesel at the pumps which is set to rise to near record levels in the very near future is causing real problems for our constituents in terms of the cost of living. that, we know what the primers and the gover

mr. latham beats the democrat in the race. while the policy from mars steve king guy does not.steve king loses in the general, in the polling right now. so okay, iowa republicans. it's a pop quiz. which republican do you want? do you want the one who wins the senate seat, or do you want the one who loses the senate seat? ding, ding, ding. iowa republicans will please take the wingnut who loses. despite tom latham having a far better chance of winning when it really matters, he was polling behind with republicans for the nomination. and now tom latham has dropped out, citing his responsibilities as a congressman, mr. latham says he will not even try to run for that senate seat. steve king, meanwhile, is not officially in the race yet, but he's not out of it either. and with karl rove's record with zero percent success, 100% failure, frankly being the candidate that karl rove is trying to stop might work out for steve king. he really might end up being their guy in that race. the republican party is not yet done purging itself, purging itself of electable moderates. they don't wa

race. she's okay, she'll be fine. >> harris: oh. >> not eligible for the end there, but jimmie johnson and mr. arris: i'm glad she's okay. lebron james turning on the heat against the knicks. >> and they beat the heat two times they've played earlier this year, and lebron, they're down 16 points in this one and look at this dunk. lebron james just goes crazy in the second half and they beat the knicks. carmelo anthony 32 points and only 3 of 11 in the second half and most the time lebron james was covering him. and mvp for carmelo early? and i think that lebron james at the end. >> harris: if you haven't seen lebron james harlem shake video. >> are you into the harlem shake. >> harris: not really, i saw it on the video. i might have to get into it. the cutest and they're at practice and all of a sudden, look at this. again, what we do on the fox report. i don't mean to sound like a-- to say this,

mr. softee, slow and steady, doesn't win any races. however, in this case, i think it will. of thinking. ibm may have a pullback. mr. softee may be sideways. the i like mr. softee for the reasons that don't make sense, microsoft. >> microsoft is going to go nowhere. i own it. i only own it for the yield, and i can sell calls against it. i think ibm takes them out early. >> i would go microsoft. again, getting back to that argument, it's got more room to do something. ibm has been a huge winner. microsoft, you never know what's going to happen in terms of the product cycle. >> anthony? >> anthony and i are teaming up. ibm. i just think this thing is the best management team out there, and we'll see it trade up by the end of the year. >> you know what this means? we have another tie. >> you weigh in. >> i don't weigh in on anything. we have to go to twitter. twitter vote will be the deciding vote. you guys out there chose ibm. >> our "fast money" viewers are not that bright. it's really unbelievable. >> all right. so bim prevails over mr. softee. to see the full bracket of all

the issue you race -- mr. garamendi: let me pick up another chart. the issue you raised is one. ms. norton: i'm very glad my good friend from california does have a way to illustrate all of these points. not only does he reduce the top rate from 39.6% -- that's how much the very richest would pay, the 25%. but you may say, well, but he's got a 10% rate in there, essentially for everybody else. well, if everybody else pays 10% and the very richest pay 25%, there would be no revenue for the federal government. so all we're saying about medicare and medicaid would mean there would be no revenue to fund them. and that seems to be his point. get so little revenue coming into the federal government itself that in and of will mean you have to have cuts and get rid of these programs that we've been building for 50 years. mr. garamendi: i ran over and got this chart. i wasn't going to talk about this this evening but you brought the issue up about where the money has gone and the issue of tax breaks. l.a. this chart begins in 1979 -- this chart begins in 1979 and it shows the basic growth in

mr. deputy speaker, we said we would race the allowance to 10,000 pounds by the end of the parking lot element. today i will confirm we will get there next year. 2014, -- mr. deputy speaker, from 2014 there will be no income tax at all on the first 10,000 pounds of your salary salary. 10,000 pounds of tax free earning. that's 700 pounds less in tax for working families. almost 3 million of the lowest paid will pay no income tax at all. it is a historic achievement for the government and the hard working families across the country. mr. deputy speaker, i'm aware that the concept of a tax rate has caused problems for honorable members opposite. [laughter] first they introduce it before deciding to introduce was a mistake and to be abolished. then they decided that abolishing it was a mistake and they introduced it again. to put them out of the misery. we are going turn it to a zero pence ban. and don't have to worry about it anymore. every person paying the rate doubled now be paying no income tax at all. mr. deputy speaker, there's one final tax exchange i want to tell the house about. it's abo

mr. mills said he did the same thing in the congressional race in 1938, another $17,000. those are the good old days. and said his father said i don't want you to be beholden to anybody. but mr. mills said his dad lobbied about the highway, you know, whether it should go through searcy or through kinseth. [laughter] he said so even fathers have vested interests. [laughter] that's right. so roy richardson, he was from dalton up in randolph county. and so they were having a political rally up there, and roy richardson invited mr. mills to come up. and when he got there, mr. mills was always early. so it's amazing that this could happen. but roy richardson was already speaking. and so he went in, mr. mills went in and sat down, and roy richardson said, you know, young mills is here, and it's, you know, we're sort of tired of these whippersnappers from white county, these young whippersnappers coming in here and telling us who to vote for and stuff, trying to run up this scheduled to on this vote -- schedule on this vote. and a few disparaging things. but it didn't bother mr.

racing. >> yep, and you love selling guns, too, mr. lapierre. that's what this is all about. i don't get it. yes, senator patrick? >> just very quickly. in all serious 'n', if you're going to be upset with anyone about seeing the increase in gun sales, you should be upset with president obama, and joe biden. because the president and vice president have done more to sell guns in this country than the nra. >> let me respond to that. because i've heard this argument. the fact that the president and vice president, the fact that they're trying to bring in any form of gun control to make america safer, and the fact that the response driven by the nra's cynical marketing in my view, has been a massive surge in sales. not just of any old weapons, but of the specific ar-15 type assault rifle used by adam lanza at sandy hook. i think shams a civilized society. i really do. i find it an astonishing reaction to the worst atrocity of school children in america. you as a state senator, that you honestly believe the answer after an atrocity like that, is to allow the nra to hijack sportin

mr. obama's help in the summer storm sandy. been mock donald was not inviced bought he raced transportation taxes, and we saw an interesting dichotomytween rand paul and marco rubio. rubio said he was criticized for offering a lot of new ideas. rand paul said the g.o.p. is getting moss covered and needs to embrace more libertarian social some economic policy. a difference in prepare. m-rubio, very popular, charismatic, latino, is pushing immigration reform. he didn't talk about that. instead he talked about core social conservative issues-such as support of marriage between a man and a woman and opposition to abortion rights. listen. >> just because i believe that states should have the right to define marriage in a traditional way does not make me a big got. just because -- [applause] >> just because we believe that life, all life, all human life, is worthy of protection at every stage of its development does not make you a -- [applause] >> marco rubio, very cautious about not saying he is running for president but looks like it. texas governor rick perry didn't win the nomination and has not ruled out the possible he may look for

mr. barkley can talk conceptually about what is going on. >> an important consideration for us was that we talked about having 55 days of racing through the summer of -- here in san francisco and that's what we wanted to deliver. so, i'm pleased to say that we still have roughly 55 days of racing through the summer. but to achieve it, we've filled a void with some specialist events. one of them is the red bull youth america's cup, an event called the imagination of the world. there will be 10 plus countries represented with youth teams. we just had some trials here the last four or five spots in february. and the uptake from the media around the world is in actual fact a surprise in terms of how much visibility this is getting for [speaker not understood]. another event that we've added to the schedule is what we call the [speaker not understood] which is where very, very large sailing yachts will be sailing on the harbor. in the bay here, i should say, on the days between the america's cup races when they would take place in the seventh of september. so, in summary, fill a void with a bunch of other events that will in their own right at
