sarah palin said she could see russia from alaska. mitt, mitt romney talks like he's only seen russia by watching rocky iv. >> oh, my gosh. >> bob, that -- that's disgusting. sarah palin is a secretary of state than john kerry. >> let's put this into perspective. back during that period, ukraine was always a centerpiece of the right's argument about how russia was going to be the first place they were going to go, georgia and ukraine. i'm not surprised he said it. a lot of people were saying, she was not alone. having said that, i still wonder today if this were today and ronald reagan were in office today, what would he do? stand on the border of ukraine and say, go back home, russia? what would he do? >> i don't know. >> we're interested in what our president is going to do and how to handle it. >> we talked about this. does the eu -- >> reagan was in power, let's face it. >> it's the mocking. it's the mocking from the left in the media from someone from the right that had said anything about foreign policy. interestingly, you never

so i think sarah palin was very entertaining. may have outdone tina fey, but she was doing the democrats work. >> well, you know what? she's a show woman to be sure and it was a very theatrical and to many people, entertaining presentation. but now to what in earnest a lot of the cpac speeches dealt with and that was obamacare and doug, i got to say this new study by the left leaning urban institute reports that one in ten of uninsured americans enrolled in obamacare. that's an astonishing number. it means most of the people who signed up were already insured but got booted from their plans by obamacare. if the goal is to cover the uninsured, isn't this a conspicuous failure for the president so far? >> it certainly looks that way to me. and while sarah palin was compelling criticizing obamacare, i didn't hear an alternative policy. did you, gregg? >> no. there wasn't one. mercedes, let me go to you on this because there is a new mckinsey study and they're very prominent consulting firm. they found that the uninsured were not sig

, it is as much about palin as much as anything.t think she moves that many voters. >> i don't know, republicans tell me in the primaries, particularly in a red state, and she made a point of endorsing karen handle. that is a field with debatable candidates. what my republican sources tell me is she is still one of the bigger draws when you talk about an endorsement. because the sort of conservative base is not sort of necessarily responding to the republican establishment. they don't necessarily want to know who are the donors, she may not be a politician anymore, but she has that celebrity status. >> the one thing that the republicans think they have a chance, the mississippi race. and our reporters share nuggets, including what joe biden is up to keep him in good standing with the democratic base. geico motorcycle. see how much you could save. until you're sure you do. bartender: thanks, captain obvious. co: which is what makes using the hotels.com mobile app so useful. i can book a nearby hotel room from wherever i am. or, i cou

[laughter] is it because she took on the establishment and beat the incumbent mayor of her town? is it because she was the first female governor of the eight of alaska? the truth is it is not. she drives them crazy for the same reason we love her so much. she stands firmly in between our freedom and our opponents who want to drive this country into a place that

she is in a class, sarah palin, by herself. in this country by the left. and i don't really understand it because she doesn't have any power. >> and she is not running. >> other than -- other than she gets attention. >> right. doesn't have any legislative power. >> that drives them crazy as well. she is not running for anything. this is not ted christie or ted cruz or marco rubio. as far as we know she is not running. why do they continue to go after her. >> i don't know. >> she still gets under their skin. all the vicious names they call her don't effect her at all. that makes them under. >> the way you stop a good guy with a nuke is get a good guy with a nuke. is that what our policy should be in ukraine? come on o. >> again, you debate what she says on the merits of that. >> i agree with you. >> you don't go in and call her names and call her children names and cast aspersions on her in ways that are despicable. >> that's correct. the left can't stop. they are compulsive. >> the left as if the left walks in monolithic way. >

that was seth meyers on sarah palin's speech at cpac this weekend. she thought it would be funny, by the way, to joke about nuclear war. news flash, it's not. in fact, palin's speech was so facetious, it's hard to separate farce from fiction. she also followed ted cruz's lead with a dramatic, if you will, reading from dr. suess's "green eggs and ham," which suess famously read on the september floor in september. here is how palin rewrote it. >> i do not like this, uncle sam, i do not like his health care scam. >> i think called him her a moron the other day. i get copying is the highest form of flattery. take a look at what jimmy fallon had to say than performance on "the tonight show" last night. >> of course it upset president obama. but the one person it really upset, sam i am. he was so annoyed that she quoted dr. suess that he issued a rebuttal of his own. yep, he said i do not like the speech you spoke. the speech you spoke was quite a joke. i found your words were lacking taste. you first hit copy, then hit paste. i would not like this on a b

but going back to what mitt romney and sarah palin said in 2008, i think there has been a consistentf naivety. rememb remember, george bush said he looked into putin's soul and like wh liked what he saw when he met him. i don't think the cold war is over in putin ds mi's mind and everyone down to our intelligence analysts are viewing putin through rosie-colored lenses that should not really exist. >> julia, you heard kasprrov putin has check-mated the west. how did he do that? >> he has check mated the west before. he understanding there is very little that we can do to punish him. we can make it hurt financially, even without europe stepping in and adding their own economic sanctions against russia. we can create a lot of financial pain for putin. to him, that's a price worth paying. he's taking in some ways and i don't actually agree that it's because of syria and because of oba obama's response on syria. look what happened to georgia and george w. bush. you couldn't have had a more strong and disease sif president. what are you going to do? go to russia? >> thank you so much. when

sarah palin is an example that neither will be elected to anything.irst of all, if your strategy is correct, why use it? i would i think in some ways it's maybe what jeb bush is doing. >> i don't know if it's a strategy or not. the fact is we live in what is essentially a speculation age. there's so much room to speculate and in lack of anything actually happening, especially in many months before an election year, it just makes sense for people to sort of be in play. i should say that the name joe scarborough does not appear anywhere in this article. this is mainly about the scott brown decision. look. it's an entire breed of candidate and i think the media environment lends itself to it. >> in joe's case, people ask him all the time if he is running. that does not mean you're hedging but it means people are asking you. mark halpern, don't you think to an extent -- i brought up jeb bush's name. just because the minute you do announce, that is when everybody starts to eviscerate you. isn't it better to hedge? is it a strategy? >> i think over time, so

we need to defend sarah palin in the same way that we defend hillary clinton. d and for this simple reason -- well, there are many reasons. unless we defend and address our own liberal message, itmore wome political process, from running for office so that we actuallyfo have equal representation whichr will lead to equal pay and which will lead to leaving politicians out of our doctors -- >> beyonce is one of the leading voices on the shriver report. she's married to jay-z who goes around making millions of dollars because he calls women m bitches whores. >> maybe they are sexist, when they held a meeting on contraception, all the witnessea they picked seemed to be male. democratic congresswoman carolyn maloney said this. >> where are the women? when i look at this panel, i don't see one single woman.on >> panel on contraception? >> this was in 2012. it wasn't showed to be aable on contraception. it was supposed to be onon religious liberty and it was the first of a series of panels. optically it was unbelievabl stupid republicans are dumb about the visuals and
