alan west joins me live. congressman west, thanks for joining us.ge as well. what will your message be to the conservative-based cpac this year? >> i think the message i'll be delivering within about an hour is really understanding who we are as conservatives and drawing the contrast between that and what we stand for in our business in america as opposed to that which is coming from the liberal progressive side and the obama administration. >> now, you heard from today rick santorum who won the last three contests, as well as mitt romney. what did you hear in what they said that satisfied you? >> well, unfortunately, i was busy doing some media hits, so i did not get the opportunity to sit down and listen to their speech. but i think the most important thing is that they have to show a genuine, sincere concern as far as what are going to be the specific principles upon which they will stand? it's very clear when you understand the constitution, when you understand what it means to have an effective and efficient government that is fiscally responsi

the bottom line on the bill adds $89 billion to the deficit and has anti-deficit republicans like alan west in disbelief. what happened to the republican opposition that said no more deficit spending? >> i think that what happens is the d.c. echo chairman bear that gets out and says "do something, get it done, get it off the table even if it's bad." >> reporter: and here is a measure of that election-year pressure. scott, of the 89 house republican freshmen, most of them elected on anti-deficit platforms, 58 of the 89 voted for this deal. >> pelley: wyatt, thanks very much, using brain scans to detect autism in children as young as six months. how google secretly tracked iphone users. and tornados on the sun when the it approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess with cialis. side effect

guest: first of all, is alan west's concern. he was talking about leaving his old district. congressman rooney is moving out of his district. these people are running out of their districts, but they cannot hide from their voting records. we need to do well in florida, but florida is a fascinating case, as you well know because he watched as more closely than anybody i know. florida has 600,000 more democratic voters. it happened because the republicans overshot the runway. desaturated florida with republican seats and it is not sustainable. the only way republicans can add republicans in florida with redistricting is if they redistrict into bermuda and the cayman islands. they will try, but we do have their districts and florida and we are hopeful that -- imagine that we will go into court and hopeful at the end of the process we will have a good map. even republican maps because of the math give us seats. they have to because there are so many more democrats than republicans. if every seat was a democratic seat -- [laughter] we've also factored that in. there is never goin

. >> alan west attacked the president on facebook. he said it took $70 to fill the tank of my 2008 h3 hummer. what does it cost you and what does it cost the president to fill his gas tank? richard, what's wrong with this statement? >> the guy should get a smaller car. something more efficient and up to date. there are a number of options out there. but his bigger problem is his party's problem, right? this is a party that says we understand the private sector. we understand business. this president is clueless. we could be producing any amount of gasoline and crude oil in this country and it would not affect the price of crude oil around the world. it is so much of a bigger market. saudi arabia has more direct impact on the price of oil and it struggles to influence because demand is so high. there is a world market for oil that is irrelevant when it comes to american policy. we can mitigate some things and plan for longer term but we could drill down to australia and allen west would still have a problem filling up his hummer. >> pr

one in five voters non-white almost all of those except for alan west, were hispanic. >> going to that number ben just told us, 66 pegs of voters, republican voters saying their satisfied with romney being the nominee. that i don't think is as high as you want it to be if you're the republican party. saying it's a high number, it doesn't seem so high to me. 34% of republicans going into a general election now of course things can change, will be upset with who the nominee is. >> romney had a problem that he thought that number was much high are, that 50% or more of the republican volares were like no, not romney that all conservative voters would unit against romney. i'm throwing a mini party with that number. >> it's a dispassionate electorate on the republican side. yes, it's higher than maybe some people thought it would be considering that the divide within the republican party that we perceive now, but it's -- >> the question itself lends to what you're talking about, satisfied with romney as the nominee, what would the question be if you were excited? >> 3%. >> no question, and t

alan west, ten stocks, for example, key members of congress. you're right that race stillalln matters. affirmative action -- african-americans must overcome their blackness in the eyes of their supporters. >> guest: sure, they must. for instance, one of the most remarkable elections of the --s. of 2010 was the election of tim's got in south carolina.soui i mean, and the republican contest ten scott, a black man, beat out strom thurmond jr. the son of -- you know, the legendary dixiecrat than republican senator. a black man be of strom thurmond junior. that was quite remarkable. my politics are very far away from tim's got. i am an ideological adversary. t however, it did show something that conservative white republicans of south carolina chosen over all white candid. that shows in my view a change t in racial attitudes, and a good change in racial attitude. and i think that is part and parcel of the obama movement. chanost: what you teach? >> guest: variety of subjects. contracts, the people who i have fought in my years. in my contract class.

then congressman alan west, unleashes on the democrats and accuses them of engaging in slavery. now what provoked that? congressman west is here to explain. plus, it has reached the boiling point. members of congress storming out of heated hearing on president obama contraception rule. what provoke provoked the stompg out? congressman darrell issa will tell you. he goes "on the record." right now, senator santorum joins us. good evening. how is michigan? >> good evening, greta. it's great. we had 13, 1400 people here in oakland county. a week ago before they announced we were coming they had 300. feel good about the people seeing us tonight. >> greta: is foster one of your big supporter and contributor to super pac that supports you? is he one of them? >> he is. >> greta: now i'm going to play a video for you that is making the rounds. i want to know your reaction to this one. we'll play the video. >> contraceptive thing, my gosh it's such inexpensive. in my day, they used bayer aspirin for contraception. gals put it between their knees and it wasn't is that costly. >> greta: i

one congressman can go as far as telling him, and i'm quoting alan west, get the hell out of the unitedcans think this is acceptable behavior in public? >> well, they're making money off of it when governor brewer put her finger in his face, her book sales went up. when wilson from south carolina called him liar from the floor of the congress, he went on and raised $2 million that weekend. others get more votes when they do that, but demonizing the president is both morally wrong and dangerous. they make the case he's not an american, he was not born here. that's the donald trump argument. he's not a christian, he's not one of us, he is a food stamp president. well, the packet is food stamps is morally correct and helps people who need food assistance. 50% of them are white, 24% african-american, 22% latino. so the continuous demonization, then somebody shoots an ak-47 in the white house. that's why i say it's a danger and certainly unnecessary. >> i want to go back to your use of the word dangerous. do you really believe that there may be some kind of terrible outcome as a result of so

congressman alan west is joining us. nice to have you all. let's get right into it.t was interesting to hear, who was saying it earlier on our panel, this is sort of the straw poll. the enthusiasm from the speech is the straw poll before the straw poll. do you agree with that? >> yeah, i do. it will be interesting to see since ron paul is not going to be hear speaking if that enthusiasm will be here. normally he wins these cpac straw polls. this is a great opportunity for each one of these candidates to make their case at this great gathering. i think it's the largest that we've had in quite some time. >> what's going on with the tea party, i think we have a graphic of this, tea party in iowa, win for santorum, 29%, new hampshire, romney, 41%. south carolina, gingrich, 45%. florida, romney, 41%, nevada as well, 47%. is the tea party all over the map and within the tea party there's no coalescing around a candidate? >> i think when you look at the tea party, it's much like steve mcqueen's movie, "the blob." they're different state to state. there is no centralized org
