if hilary runs i don't think andrew cuomo is running or joe biden is running.k about amy klobuchar, janet napolitano. on the republican side we havasu santa martinez, nikki haley. it seems to me we went through a phase where it's a novelty. hillary clinton where there's attention on gender. how far are we from the point where it's a ho-hum. >> certainly on the republican side we are getting much closer. republican women, i can speak from personal experience in the house republican conference get respect as they should. we are embraced as colleagues. now, of course that's in the context of all of us working together as legislators. the bigger issue as we all know is culturally, you know, where are our constituents. where are the -- where is the nation and where are the states where republicansing might have the strongest proportion of the vote in terms of supporting women and i do feel certainly as a republican woman from the northeast that thanks to the tremendous work that was done biogen rations before me including margaret chase smith, i think that there is

what happens to andrew cuomo to joe biden and bigger names who runs against her?e are two new yorkers who are thinking of running for president, andrew cuomo and the united states senator. when you run you have to raise money. the two best states to raise money is new york and california. if milk runs, take could you cue mow and jill brand and joe biden is a sitting vice president. he has profile. that would be two behemouths. >> michael: thank you, i'm glad i got you to talk about it. that was a victory. senators who have not endorsed gay marriage, the ones we were talking about the train has all but left the station. that story and more when we come back after the break. real immigration reform? >> with a distinctly satirical point of view. if you believe in state's rights but still believe in the drug war you must be high. >> only on current tv. >> michael: welcome back inside "the war room." i'm michael shure. look at these issues. this is from then and now. imagine how stupid you're going to look in 40 years. it's been around for a couple of years, but it wen

then in 2012, andrew cuomo's not on the ballot. the only statewide races with were the presidential race, in which obama beat his opponent by 27 points. one of the biggest margins of any state in the country. the other statewide race, november 2012, was the senate seat held by kirsten gillibrand. beat her challenger by a 45-point margin. the political picture in new york state was overwhelmingly democratic. just solidly blue in terms of the 2012 election, but new york is a big state. a largely rural state and a more idea logical state that it sometimes gets credit for. one of the manifestations of new york's unheralded diversity is that even though the state is so blue it looked cold, when it comes to voting for state ledge islators, it's not like that. the senate has only been in democratic control three times since world war two. but on election night november 2012, where president obama beat mitt romney by a 27-point margin under the leadership of a democratic government with the highest approval ratings of any state in the coun

rank amateurism too on a level in a town and a state that has people like michael bloomberg and andrew cuomoians. this was low level petty crime. >> no one accused people arrested this week of being the best and brightest of new york politics. far from it as a matter of fact. this is what you get. frankly among other things the problem -- it's interesting that you mention michael bloomberg and andrew cuomo. he's mayor rrried to a celebrit has a ton of money. base salary of state legislator in new york is $79,500 and it's a part-time job. there are some who say that pretty much opens the door to people always desperately looking for more money and it breeds corruption. >> so this whole thing and i know that this is a complicated scheme. some of this has to do with some of these democrats and the state legislature trying to help republicans keep control in the legislature and it seeps into republican politics in new york city. this gentleman, mr. smith, had no chance of becoming a republican nominee. there are two more serious candidates for republican mayor. >> liberal black democrats, life-l

i guess cuomo in new york. andrew wants to be president. the bushes of course.hen of course the clintons. active dynasty. hillary if he runs in 2016, somebody pointed out on our production team, chelsea clinton will be able to answer, what did your presidents do? they were both president. hillary is a democratic front-runner for 2016. everybody knows that. jeb bush is certainly a republican contender. is the country ready for a clinton versus bush campaign? should we be looking for as barbara bush said other people out there? i'd say. this is a democracy after all. steve mcmahon is a democratic strategist. and rick -- are you a real lower case democrat or and upper case democrat who likes dynasties? because i think hillary's got a special case because we've never had a woman president. that's the wind at her back. and it should be her. >> she's not a dynasty candidate. she is a candidate who's earned it in her own right. she happened to have perhaps gotten a little bit of boost -- in new york -- >> ambassador to great britain or france? >> i'll take either. >> w

couldn't you say the same thing about andrew cuomo? he's been one of the few popular governors. >> i think you could. >> what's your principle as a republican? you are middle class. >> i agree. >> republicans don't like that. >> i agree with you and barbara bush. if he has talent, then they should run. and if they don't, then people will kick him out. >> the question isn't whether he's qualified to be president. he was a reasonably good governor in florida. the question is whether the american people will tolerate another bush. >> that's what i think the mother is talking about. i think she was on the nail saying, look, every election has a number of candidates. they pick themselves. and then we choose among those guys who pick themselves. in the case of hillary, herself. then we say which one of you who thinks you should be president, we will pick. we don't pick them. we don't go looking for them. so they come forward. but there's another personality, the times, the feeling of the times. what we want. after carter we wanted strength.

president bush pushed for it and andrew cuomo and embarrassingly he had to retool that bill. he was disarming police officers. he was saying, we're going to limit magazines that have seven rounds in them. no such thing, sawyer to break that news. now, he wants to go on honor code system with gun owners? i think second amendment advocates, anybody that has a gun, they shake their head. they get half of this stuff wouldn't be prevented like with adam lanza. let the schools decide whether they want an armed guard just like sandy hook did on their own. >> eric: and we are seeing states and towns doing what they want in the gun laws. >> dana: new york school district has pretty effective program. i think it's finding, best practices are used where it seemed to 6 work. new york school system might be one that could be replicated across the board but if you are in small rural district that may not make sense. so i'm for local control and parents and students involved. i do think there will be a bill. i don't think it's a dead on arrival. it will be a on weaker one but there will be

the state line with new york, andrew cuomo and the legislators up in albany. i blame this on jim demint because he is the first who said it. like the difference between southea andth korea. state line between pennsylvania and new york, pennsylvania is driving and new york is the press because they won't let them do anything. the geology is the same underground. we got these great chances now with the federal system. that is what we are really all about as our country. not every good idea is invented in washington. very few of them are. look out there beyond the capital beltway and let's learn from each other. >> you lead the way in so many ways as we were talking about this morning and building heritage as a permanent institution. helping to build the conservative movement to this vital force is a major force in american politics and changing the think tank culture here, not only here but it can be said across the country and even the world. the question so many people here would like to have you address is what is next for you? >> the neatest thing and the fi

charles: boone, i have to -- i want to jump in, it sounds like you are being diplomatic, andrew cuomo, kick the can down the road on the shale. governor of a state with massive unemployment. because of political pressure and environmentalists, kicked the can down the road, i'm not sure that ipo wil politicians gt it. >> if cuomo thinks he is better off kicking the can down the road, know this the gas has been there 300 million years, it not going any place, but it will happen. new york is not big enough to be a factor in overall gas supply in u.s., ther they are a nonfac. cannot make a easy decision. but the same with keystone pipeline, my god, you need to take that, you are going to go down as dumbest crowd in history, if you turn down the keystone pipeline, that oil is going to go to china, i can tell you that, a lot of people think that canada is one of the states in america. it is not. it is say sovereign country, they will go the direction where they can make the most money out of it, which is what they should do. they -- >> having said that, boone, if they approve keystone, do y

he took over after andrew cuomo became governor. it is an elected position.r spencer. spitzer filed the first lawsuit about eight years ago. looking to basically get and kicked off of the board of directors. but casone can't run a public company again. liz: run or set on the board? >> well, both. i'll think he wants that designation. i have been told, but only will he fight this in court that there will be some public battle. what do i mean? i believe based on my conversations we will see in go to congress, go to places that can make life very difficult and demand that congress start hearings on stuff like does the new york state attorney general -- should he have that much power? preempting federal laws. that is one of the big -- liz: you think you will take it that far? >> yes, i do. i mean, you know, have a fairly the relationship with him. he was here in studio about a month ago. pretty close to him. i think that this is going to be a battle royale between both of these guys. liz: is in the risk for anyone in congress to side with the guy who ran the comp

you get to the state line with new york, got andrew cuomo and legislators up in albany, blaming this on jim demint. he said it's like the difference between south korea and north korea. [laughter] you go to the state line between pennsylvania and new york, pennsylvania's thriving and new york's depressed because they won't let them do anything there. the geology's the same underground. you know, so we got these great chances now with the federal system that, you know, that's what we are all about as a country, not every good idea's invented in washington. in fact, few of them are. [laughter] look out there beyond the capitol beltway and learn from each other again. >> well, ed, you led the way in so many ways as we've been talking about here this morning and building heritage as this permanent institution in helping to build the conservative movement and to this vital force, major force in american politics, and changing think tank culture here, not only here, but i think it can be said across the country, and even the world, so i think the question which so many people here would li

>> lou: new york's governor andrew cuomo is paying a steep political price for signing the country'sest gun control law. a quinnipiac poll shows his approval rating plunging from a high of 74%, back in december, it is now down to 55%, as a result of signing that gun control law. and, that new gun law, well, it has been a disaster from day one. the measure was considered passed and signed into law, 24 hours in mid-january. i want to repeat that. in 24 hours. no public open hearings at all. just swept through the capital and put into law, upon his signature. now, these are democrats. this is theiidea of government, folks and everybody in the country needs to be paying attention to what these democrats -- and in some cases a handful of republicans are doing at a time when we should be looking at transparency and hearing american citizens on the issues of our time, we are simply being brushed aside, by elitist governments. a few days later in new york, lawmakers forgot to exempt law enforcement officers from the law. imagine that. a month later, the gernor said he want to exempt hollywoo

we have jaime ruben and andrew cuomo. gentlemen, it's good to have you here. we have heard these threats before. this time, it's different. they have cutting edge, smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear weapons and the u.s., we are watching them ahead of schedule with the defense system in place by guam and seeing this slow chess game play out in front of us. how much are we supposed to believe of what is actual fact? >> let's be clear, over the last 20 years, no administration, clinton, bush and now obama has figured out how to eliminate a chance that on any given day north korea can start a crisis. north korea says hey, wait a minute, we are the country, the rogue state, they wouldn't call themselves that, that actually has nuclear weapons, tested them and we can create an international crisis at a moments notice. we haven't figured out a way to deal with it. we have a standard playbook of military actions by the pentagon to try to meet each step in a careful way so the north is not encouraged to take it to the next level, but is not feeling like it achiev

it's a huge voting bloc, and andrew cuomo is a loyal democrat. >> is that a big voting bloc? new york state is sitting on hundred0s trillions of cubic feet of natural gas. >> i think the corporate america should make point of this. you would think the business roundtable, one of thoseof commo a national campaign about this. this will help the business environment for everybody. so they have to play hard ball but they have the bully pulpit with the democratic party and with the media. >> natural gas is 5% cheaper in the united states than germany. >> it's what we need in this country right now. >> charlie see, you on the fox business network i'm sure. meantime, gas guzzlers, they're running up sales in america's automakers, ford, chrysler, gm, reporting strong monthly sales driven by pickup trucks. time for uncle sam to slam the brake on green car incentives? mark more ran know thinks so. mark, this is not the way it's supposed to be. gas at 3.50 a gallon. you'd think people are jumping into fuel efficient cars but they're not. going for gas guzzlers. >> despite the best effor

i guess cuomo in new york. andrew wants to be president. the bushes of course.of course the clintons. active dynasty. hillary if he runs in 2016, somebody pointed out on our production team, chelsea clinton will be able to answer, what did your presidents do? they were both president. hillary is a democratic front-runner for 2016. everybody knows that. jeb bush is certainly a republican contender. is the country ready for a clinton versus bush campaign? should we be looking for as barbara bush said other people out there? i'd say. this is a democracy after all. steve mcmahon is a democratic strategist. are you a lower case democrat or uppercase democrat who likes dynasties? because i think hillary's got a special case because we've never had a woman president. that's the wind at her back. and it should be her. >> she's not a dynasty candidate. she is a candidate who's earned it in her own right. she happened to have perhaps gotten a little bit of boost -- >> ambassador to great britain or france? >> i'll take either. >> what are you bidding for? >> how about ire

the "new york post" has a piece today saying the governor of new york andrew cuomo has told people ifnton were to get in the race he would also get out of the way. which is why, wolf, she needs to make this decision sooner rather than later in a way. to be fairer to her fellow democrats because they're going think she might get into it. and her health is an issue. she'll be close to 70. if she were to consider this, she's got a staff in place. she's making some money right nowspeeches. but she does have to decide in the not-too-distant future. >> we'll see what happens. >> yeah. >> she's clearly a favorite among the democrats out there. >> she's been there before. >> that's right. and then some relatively obscure junior senator from illinois shook things up, as we all know. thanks very much. >> sure. >>> people in dagestan right now they are very worried the tsarnaev brothers may have had -- they're very worried about the alleged involvement in the boston bombings. they're worried it will hurt business in dagestan, that's in southern russia. comi r look at how this area of russia righ

. >> and andrew cuomo and a lot of others are waiting in the lineup. >> you talk to people around joe biden, he's well aware of the northwestibility factor that would follow hillary clinton if she got in, and people you need to run a national campaign, they're going to be looking at the same pool of donors, of people to run this campaign. they really are the same person. one's just going to be a stronger front runner, but by the way, and this is the thing that sort of i think people underestimate with joe biden. if hillary doesn't run, he will be the front-runner. yes, is he vulnerable? yes, but so was george h.w. bush. >> chris, i was in the audience last flight. if you would have told me going in who would have given the most resonant vigorous speech to that crowd of mostly women and all clinton people, because that's the organization she founded, it was not hillary clinton who gave what you would have expected, a very affectionial and memorable speech about her good friend. but joe biden gave a passionate stem-winding speech, and it goes back to his support initially in the '90s fo

and maybe andrew cuomo or someone or the vice president. the vice president is running every day of the week by nature of his job. >> right. >> do you think she really ran a risk in not going public giving these speeches? >> well, you know, i think she's got such a high profile, chris. but she's going to have to get out there. and she will be out there making much more public speeches. we will see her. we will hear from her. it's also a -- there's a weird interval here where we have a president. he's doing mostly a great job. for her to be running for his position, i don't know. there's something a little bit unseemly for her to just come right out and take her political place right now. >> i agree. by the way, i know one way she can guarantee to win the nomination, as if there's any doubt. have the opponents attack her. on the republican side. the minute they attack hillary clinton, she is the nominee. to another possible 2016 contender, jeb bush. he, too, was in dallas today with a speaking event in advance of his brother's library openin

elizabeth warren 5, andrew cuomo, 3.veryone not named hillary clinton on the poll has a lot to think about here. >> yeah. i mean, if hillary runs, and i think she will run, she's certainly setting herself up. >> she's running, she's already running. >> i'm glad we're there. >> we don't fall for the masquerade. >> i don't think most of those individuals decide to run even if she's in the race, or if they do, it is a way to get their name out there for a future contest. joe biden, i can't imagine biden and hillary, head to head, he would step back when she does run. in terms of her inevitability for the primary, i think she's there. we thought that in 2008 and it didn't work out, but this time i really do think she's inevitable. she's going to be out of politics the next four years, she's going to be speaking in front of adoring crowds like this. she can wade in when she wants to. republicans can't lay a glove on her. she will be in great shape for 2016. >> this is what i can't imagine for democrats, uncontested open democ

people are figuring out whether she will or won't and what that means to her plans, people like andrew cuomo, joe biden. what's your sense, you've been around not just her but the democratic business a very long time. how much would she clear the field if she decides to get in? >> well, look, i think one of the benefits of a clinton candidacy is she has the ability to stay out of it as long as possible. she has a huge national donor base. she has a huge national political base. you foe, she has aa lot of excitement, huge name recognition. the same with joe biden, i think, but some of the other people considering running, i don't think have the luxury of waiting until she decides. i think they're going to have to make their own decisions on their own time table. >> there i think will be at some point, though, some pressure from some of the big donors to say, will you or won't you. i don't think it will come in the next few months, but when do you think that might happen? >> look, i think she has plenty of time. i think it would be prudent just to wait to see what the political terrain looks l

produces one of the weapons now banned in new york state under the new law pushed in by governor andrew cuomoeapon, 51.5 inch sniper rifle that costs $7,000. serbu has been publicly bragging that he has refuse today sell that rifle to the new york city police department because, quote, we have a policy of selling to state law enforcement agencies only what is allowed to be sold to private citizens in that state. and so the no serbo for you is aimed at every police agency in the state of new york, including the nypd. joining me from los angeles, a man who is not happy about any of this, actor larry thomas, seinfeld's soup nazi. larry, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> you're welcome, thank you. >> how did you find out there you were on this crazy t-shirt? >> well, it was on facebook. and a facebook friend of mine said hey, did you see this. i looked at it and went oh, yeah, that's great, you know. i mean, i've already got a problem with people using my image illegally, you know, whatever to make money. but that was kind of a hot button issue on top of it. >> and how close was that

but it could stop someone like andrew cuomo, a fellow new yorker from getting into the race.g of new yorkers, caroline kennedy as an ambassador to japan. her grandfather, joe kennedy, was the ambassador to the court of st. james, to the court of great britain but japan is not the most logical place you would think of for caroline kennedy. >> it is not. but the japanese have a tradition of being very enthusiastic about very well known political, american political names going to tokyo. i.e., mike mansfield, walter mondale both lived in a beautiful ambassador residence in central tokyo. >> i know you lived there and worked there. >> not in the residence. quite a bit smaller where we lived. >> but you and your husband were both working journalists. the bureau chief for the new york times. and you know that going all the way back to mike mansfield and howard baker and vice president mondale, the japanese loved having ambassadors with big names. and there isn't a bigger name in politics other than obama and clinton and kennedy. >> and of course, you know, the white house is extrem

andrew cuomo i think is someone who would very much like to do it, it seems, if she is not in. with these other people in the picture that goes to the point why it is important to talk about it at an early stage. hillary can start raising a lot of money and demonstrate she has this money and if you try to step in you'll get blown away. she has to have a show of force early to keep people out. it frees up donors and intimidates other potential rivals. i think that is likely to be her game plan if she wants to run. you have to start doing that soon. >> the reason we're talking about it soon is because she is an unusual figure. i mentioned mccain before but mccain in 2004 had the problem that a large chunk of the republican base didn't like him. everyone understood he would have to get over that hump to win in '08 whereas hillary, i mean, what happened to her in the last cycle means that she sort of has a seeming lock on the kind of remaining white, working class part of the democratic party and the clintons and the african-american community have been -- fences have been mended.

not andrew cuomo. not martin o'malley.they all have to wait for hillary clinton to make a decision? >> i think they do have to wait, but i also agree with amy that i think it's possible for other candidates besides hillary clinton to raise a lot of money. like you said, nobody expected then-senator obama to raise that much and we just don't know exit is so early, you don't know what is going to happen in a year. anything is possible. >> at cpac, citizens united, was sure to remind everyone how they could attack her if she ran, playing this. >> she is steeped in controversy, steeped in sleaze. that's why they don't want us to look at her record. >> i think it's worth remembering, after her health care fiasco, the clinton team pushed her aside. >> certainly you have to ask whether or not she has learned a lot from that experience. >> i mean, amy i certainly they are saying, look, there's no lack of material to go after the hillary clinton. having said that, hard to find anyone to criticize her tenure at the state department

make sure we have a good understanding of what's going on with hillary clinton and joe biden and andrew cuomoy and a bunch of other folks. >> they're focusing on hillary first. >> we learned a lesson. put it that way. >> so the philippes of the world look at us and think they are so annoying. she is just living her life. yes without question we are annoying. but, i mean, this isn't invented. i mean, this is a possibility of a candidacy here. >> the media is talking about it because every democratic and gop political operative and politician is talking about it right now. it is the talk you cannot escape. think about it. who among nonincumbents this far out -- probably eisenhower was the last person who was not a vice president or incumbent president who this far from a campaign seemed so formidible. >> she wouldn't have put out that video for the gay rights group, human rights campaign. >> she could easily have written an op-ed, put out a statement two paragraphs long. the fact she cut a video speaks volumes. >> you are in the inner circle, outer circle, medium circle. >> there is only one pe

andrew cuomo saying agencies throughout the state are on a heightened level of alert.new york city has been the target of 16 plots since 9-11. in 2010, right here in times square, there was the failed plot to try and detonate a car bomb, also plots against the new york city subway system, and of course, 20 years ago, 1993, the bombing of the world trade center that killed six people. two years later, a plot by islamic terrorists to try and bomb landmarks in new york city, including the u.n. and the tunnels and like. this has been a very ongoing sensitive issue for new yorkers, given a 1973 palestinian terrorist put a5ñéç car bomb on fifth avenue. luckily at that time, that did not go off. and also it turned out that the new york city marathon this past year held in november, this time for the first time in its history happened to be canceled because of hurricane sandy. so tonight this city's hearts and prayers and thoughts go out to the victims in boston. bret? >> eric shaun in new york. thank you. moments ago, the washington, d.c. mayor said no information of any spec

new york governor andrew cuomo calls it "a sell-out to the gun lobby."s of america, the sell-out actually is the republican senator toomey. still, it's been a gut-wrenching process for the newtown families seen here meeting with an emotional snow manchin. remember, he is a senator with an a rating from the nra. yet, nra leaders say expanding background checks will not stop violent crime or keep children safe. manchin, though, was hoping gun owners will see beyond that. >> nra has always been basically the benchmark. it's the one we look toward. it's the one i'm proud to be a member of. >> they're opposed to your legislation. >> my wife disagreed with me the other day, and i still love her. >> if background checks are as bipartisan as the senate gets on guns, then at least the two sides can make a deal on something. talk back question for you today. will background checks really decrease gun violence? facebook.com/carol cnn. or tweet me @carolcnn. >>> is he back. dick cheney set to talk to the republican faithful as the party tries to figure out its way f

andrew cuomo, as careful a politician as you'll see, tried to note the elephant in the room without ever there has been a series of extreme weather incidents. anyone that's, that's not a political statement, that's a factual statement. anyone who says there's not a dramatic change in weather patterns i think is denying reality. >> his endorsement of president obama this week, mayor michael bloomberg wrote, in 14 months two hurricanes have forced to evacuate two neighborhoods. something our city government has never done before. if this is a trend, it's simply not sustainable. no, it's not sustainable. things that can't go on don't. it's true. sandy was a freak storm, a back luck confluence of events. but this climate, our climate, is warming. as it does, low probability events like this will become more probable and more intense. carbon emissions are trapping extra energy in our atmosphere and comes more extremes, higher sea levels, higher droughts, hotter summers and heavier, wetter storms. we need a crash program in this country right now to re-engineer to deal with the climate disrupt

until she makes up her side, john, a lot of democrats, whether the governor of new york, andrew cuomo, or others, they're really sort of paralyzed, right? >> yes and no. you have to at least make the phone calls. you have to try to set up the fund-raising team. and you have to take a lot of nos or at least no not nows. remember when mark warner now senator of governor, a credible candidate realized with clinton, obama, edwards, there was no ex-joex oxygen in the room. they have to do the legwork. they'll get a lot of, can't talk to you, waiting for hillary. >> the people close to hillary that i talk to vow she is truly undecided, exhausted and spent and focused on right now and not 33 months from now. >> she'll be doing some speaking, write a book about her four years at the state department, then make up her mind. it will also depend not only politically but also on her health. remember she'll be 69 in 2016. she had a headed injury. let's hope she's fine as far as health is concerned. that will be a big factor. >> everyone says she's in good shape, but a good question. and she has lo
