al gore's selection was a success for him. many people still question why gore didn't run on the kennedy or the clinton record rather than to distance himself from it. he may have won, some think he did, but i think legit macy would have been a test to his candidacy. >> let's go to west field state, university, part of the washington center program here in washington, d.c. anna? >> regarding politics today, what do you think are the big differences between southern politics versus the north? or do you feel that the issues are pretty universal throughout the country? >> i think you're absolutely right, the issues are universal throughout the country. everybody wants a better job. everybody wants better education, first. better opportunities for education. better opportunities for employment. clean air. opportunities for advancement and moving forward, security. so you have degrees of differences that take place. one of the things that i've always thought, particularly in terms of running for office here, even though you have dif

and al gore is he understands better than anything else the need to build up the megaphone. that takes time. fox were willing almost half a billion dollars over a 10-year period to build up that infrastructure. we weren't willing to let air america lose, i think, $10 million, $20 million. we walked away from it. we have got to build up our own megaphone first of all. current tv, i think, is going to be central to that. >> rebuilding the dream. rebuilding the dream is also doing that. from the grasses -- grass roots. >> the mistake we made, governor, when we got to washington, d.c., we thought having the white house, the senate and the house was enough to govern. it is not. you have to have media and movement. they had the tea party and they had fox and they checkmated us. the next step moving forward, let's own this message. in my book i talk about owning a deeper patriotism and challenging cheaper patriotism as a rhetorical strategy. we have to help the people in the middle of the country and the middle of the spectrum understand the true defenders of america's values are o

we'll talk to al gore about in issue, and robert f. kennedy he is knows what washington should be doing to address the climate, his question is why aren't they doing it? tonight it's about attacking a real problem with real solutions. this is "the war room." come on inside. ♪ >> carbon dioxide is not a harmful gas, it is a harmless gas. yet we'll being told we have to reduce this substance and reduce the american standard of living to create an arbitrary reaction in something naturally occurring in the earth. >> the science just simply doesn't back up the issue of global warming. >> i think we're seeing it almost weekly or even daily, scientists are coming forward and questioning the original idea that man made global warming is what is causing the climate to change. >> do i think the world is getting hotter? yeah, i don't know that. but i think it is. i don't know if it is mostly caused by humans. what i'm not willing to do is to spend trillions of dollars on something i don't know the answer to. >> climate changed deniers all. and fr

and al gore, there you go. and so, the internet and al gore helped invent began as a military project of the there's a point to be made that we need to invest some of this. the problem the president has, he's got to spend so much money and ben is right. orwellion, and masks it as stimulus and putting people to work and when these are technologies that don't work. they may work in the future, but. >> and by the way, if he leveled with the american people, they would be outraged. >> i want to wrap it up going back to you, ben. you make the point, obviously, the government's role and warning us about things that are good for us, however, that role does not extend to actually taking our money and putting it toward pet projects, and particularly those that are failing miserably. >> well, i tell you the space program was a defense program, really, in the final analysis and that's obviously the government's role what kind offed light bulbs to use and power source to use, that's not a defense issue, at least not in the

because these are incredibly low numbers to some paired where they were when you were working for al gore. >> what do you think, chris? >> i don't know. historically, you need to be in the 40s, right? because all of the americans peg off of that. i think people realize we are coming out of unprecedented economic hole and so the context is a little bit different. i think trajectory the president's margin of error is very small and people think it's moving forward good. small signs of going backwards, it clasps quickly. >> good. i want to show you another slide from your poll today which i think is also indicative. so this is romney's favorability rating. you can see that he has picked up a little bit. is that due to the con solidation as a result of the primary being over? >> right. i mean, you know in march, it was the middle of the mudslinging. so his -- he really went down a little bit there, and now he is the presumptive nominee so it's a little bit of a honey moon for him. andmoon for him. and and. >> the obama people haven't even begun to fight. >> the hard thing for romney is he is

raises an important point that in 2000, "saturday night live" did some penetrating stuff on al gore thatnk gave the electorate a vocabulary in a certain sense for what made them uncomfortable about al gore. and it seems like they've zeroed in on the essential defect in the romney candidacy, which is that pandering, which is that willingness to say anything. which i think as much as anything, was at work in him accusing the president of trag to invent a new religion. that that was just him working his way through some kind of pander. >> right. i've called it in the past, you know, mitt romney has a problem with being ideologically promiscuous. you know, people don't mind someone who will change one bedrock people, because people evolve, people change their views through experience and other things. but when you change your bedrock principles on gun rights, on abortion rights, on gay rights, on immigration, you change all of them. you render yourself suspect to the american people, whether they're in your party or not in your party. and clearly, we know that democrats are not going to go o

rick santorum and al gore have something in common.nk there are two other politicians or any other politician in the history of american politics who have more undercut by their home states than rick santorum who got not credibility because he lost in 2006 and will to drop out because he was afraid of losing his home state again and al gore who would have been president in 2000 if he had just won tennessee. >> on the purely tactical, i learned apparently after having a big day, this week, you know, the big day for mitt romney was rick santorum dropped out. typically romney has had had good days and had an error afterwards. this time it was the democrats who gave it to him and he did not commit the error. >> good on you, mitt romney. >> i do think we saw what the romney campaign is really good at. they did drive and win the pedia cycles. the obama people saw it coming and preemptively surrendered in an attempt to stop it the other night. didn't really work. >> but tried. >> there were some democrats saying you've got to fight and obama'

scandals which implicated bill clinton and al gore and vice president won in 1988 and bill clinton won in 1996 and i come back do what i said this election will be more about building policy going forward than a particular scandal. >>chris: joe? all thank you is right. look, to the extent people have more to distaste of government and more distaste of corruption scandals, et cetera, what does not hurt everyone. it would have a bigger impact on congressional races around the country than on the presidency but i do think it the republicans can not try to exploit it too much. >>chris: first, you worked in the white house for almost seven years. did you ever see any signs of a breakdown in secret service discipline especially did you hear anything about agents going on the road before a presidential trip and partying? >> karl: this is one of the most dangerous moments. the secret service be wired up about foreign trips. mark sullivan, the director of the secret service, is an enormously able individual and moved aggressively and repeatedly here. at the end of the day when all of this is kn
