believe me. >> let me get back to bachmann.he is an attractive lady, but she has to do is run statewide and get herself a governor or senate seat before she runs national. she is a tremendous straw out there in the congressional race. >> bachmann as running mate. we in the media will love it. >> obama is going to dump biden and put hillary in there. >> who is we, john? >> i would think we would agree. >> i don't know if it's going to help obama. >> i wouldn't oppose it, but i don't think it's going to happen. >> let me give you the scenario. the republicans do take over the house. who do you think is going to be the leader of the republicans in the house? >> i think there might be a run against boehner if the republicans take over the house. i don't know who it would be. you have canter. >> it would not be michele bachmann. >> they want a house king, too. paul ryan and also bachmann. >> you have tension and also canter in there and you have someone else. >> bachmann is realigning the tea party, she can move in with the tea part

bachmann and palin and you have a dull group of leaders, mitch mcconnell and john boehner. people wouldn't recognize them on the subway. [laughter] chris: does that hurt the republican party to have dull leaders? >> there is a front stage-badge stage scenario where they don't necessarily have the strongest voices for television and for easy communication, kind of the b team is moving up who really communicate well. if you look at mitch mcconnell, his strength is organizing the party and the message. that has its value and not as easy. chris: how does that square with the tea party crowd who were excited? maybe it works together? >> there is energy and pragmatism and when they get people excited and have a strategy. chris: then comes the tricky problemyimarr those two. how do you take people with the high numbers like palin and say, we are going to run one of esthe dullsville candidates next time? >> it won't be dullsville if the republicans are lucky. mitch mcconnell is invisible because his job is a demolition expert. the guy blowing up the bridge doesn't want to be on tv.

bachmann road is closed between via me deyeah and via reba. apparently they have to replace the gas lines in the area and repave. it will be close to lunchtime when they can get that street reopens. you can see it butts up to the freeway. there is a middle school, as well. that is your traffic. for your forecast, here's tracy. >> hey, thanks, elizabeth. >> that's one of the things i dread that one day i'll be going across the bridge and my car will get stuck. >> a lot of stalls out there. >> there are,ching unfortunately. out the door low clouds and fog inland, bay and coast. even drizzle expected inland at bay. temperatures this morning ranging from the lower to the mid-50s. our seven-day forecast, plenty of sunshine expected but those temperatures do remain below average, mid-80s inland. lower 60s for the bay. just near 60 at the coast. cool to mild and then staying below normal saturday, sunday, monday, tuesday and wednesday. so i'm sure for people well out in the east bay they are probably loving the fact that they are not having to deal w

they have closed a smaller stretch of bachmann now.s closed right around the middle school in the area near via media and we have learned no side streets are impacted. the road will be closed until lunchtime. remember our radio partners, kcbs 740-am and 106.9-fm. that is your traffic. for your forecast, here's tracy. >> hey, thanks, elizabeth. our daily planner for this morning, here you are heading out the door, this is what you can expect. areas of low clouds and fog inland, bay and coast. the only exception some drizzle for the coastline and the bay. and we also have delays on arrivals at sfo for the morning. so we have had those the past couple of mornings. so if you are traveling, call ahead. temperatures this morning in the 50s. this afternoon we are up to the mid-80s, sunny, mild, cooler temperatures than what we enjoyed yesterday. partly cloudy and cool around the bay with temperatures in the upper 60s. and staying cool with areas of fog expected along the coastline. here's a look at those unseasonably cool temperatures. we pic

not only just the way good say a lady it message it definitely is not only is the problem of what bachmann that's on it this city though is a main problem for russia right now is a science must be could have stood by me and seen the study and point of view is it creation of a new same t.v. sent that would be viz some a decision will. additional opportunities for science played the important role for the development of new st if we get actions to create new start up companies it's very important for creation nobs a new branch of the economy so this is i again must emphasize one of the most important parts much more important than spare for a long there's this really is very important vital because because we've talked in this studio with a couple of people who have of scientists who have emigrated to where we went to work in the west and one of the main reason for for leaving this country and going to work to carry out scientific research in the west which they mentioned was that we want to feel that somebody needs doing exert influence our brain to get worried that this is what exactly is

. >> it was michelle bachmann, right, that announced it i guess last week or something i think it is a sign of success. i did not know whether or not the tea party caucus itself becomes important or not. we will wait and see what happens. but what you see is you have candidates from both political parties, and even phonies. everybody is trying to pretend they are a tea party guy now. so, we are like the cool kids and everybody wants to get up on our stage. i think we have to make sure that we continue to police our communities so we don't get any phonies but we get people committed to those ideas. and i want to make sure the tea party caucus days true to those values as well because these are in fact politicians, with all due respect to them. >> what is interesting is none of the republican leadership signed on. neither the wit or minority leader. i am wondering if that spoke anything about the republican party. >> my chairman is a guy named dick armey, and he was one of the engineers of the republican revolution in 1984 and i -- 1994 and i was working on capitol hill in 1993 and wat

with former republican house majority leader dick armey and minnesota republican michele bachma bachmannm maine to be here. >> we want the people it to be able to speak up. >> reporter: glenn williams came from indiana. >> our country is in a mess. we're spending money we don't have about that. >> reporter: but glenn beck has chosen to hold his rally on perhaps the most iconic spot for the civil rights movement, 47 years ago today. >> i have a dream. >> reporter: and beck has said unflattering things about the nation's first african-american president. >> this president i think has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep seeded hatred for white people or the white culture. this guy is, i believe, a rac t racist. >> reporter: now he's insisting that today's rally is all about reclaiming america's civil rights this reverend helped coordinate the march on washington in 1963. >> you cannot tell me that this is not planned to hijack the site, the lincoln memorial, and the message of martin luther king jr. >> i'm sorry, african-americans don't own martin luther kin

michele bachmann saying that we will not let anyone get away with saying iran less than 1 million.hey estimated the crowd at 250,000. ed on the independent line. caller: good morning. thank you for c-span and your unbiased reporting of events. i took my family down to the mall yesterday. we walked around. what i saw was a lot of people gathered for cause w. before i went, i believe that there would be some trouble for the dual rallies, i saw none of it. i do think glenn beck is divisive and i do not agree with a lot of their points, they held their rally, and they were not as divisive as they thought the repeat -- as i thought there would be. unfortunately, reclaiming the dream and restoring other, each rally, it would've been more important if the actual dream of martin luther king were for all of them to be together. i think, like the previous caller said, when it talks about restoring water and taking back the country, i am unsure who they want to take the country back from and who lost the honor in the country. i just wish they were more specific in what they're were saying is

the difference here is that michele bachmann represents the most republican district in minnesota.n grayson represents a district that is by no means democratic. when you have on race and running against a candidate who may be a conservative republican, but a boring conservative republican like dan webster and just won the primary on the republican side last week -- who just won the republican primary last week, i think a large share of the vote goes to independencts. i think any incumbent should be worried. 40% of voters are standing with alan grayson renown. i think this race is bound to become much closer. host: jennifer duffy, the caller was from georgia. the georgia governor's race is number two on your list here. guest: it represents something of a phenomenon that we see. there are five former governors who are running for their jobs back. one is in georgia, bob barnes. he has been out of office for eight years, but would like his job back. he is being challenged by a former republican congressman nathan deal. you have seen barnes troubling stayed pretty much apologizing for

what to capture and document what each service never went through -- we want to capture and bachmann what each service member went through during their experience. host: steve. caller: third battalion, third marine division. we had howitzers, and we had a mobile unit of about at least 10 at howitzer's moving to other -- howitzers moving together. i am a vietnam-era veteran. what happened to me -- i sought an interview when clinton was running for president, and she interviewed at a guy from the iraq war and he did not have any memory of his past. i don't remember anything before i was 18 years old. i put in for memory loss. maybe the counselor did not put it in right. my symptoms were the same thing. people would say, welcome home, i love you, and i would say, no, i don't remember. they denied me -- "you don't know nothing about memory loss." i had a memory test, and also, i was in the marine corps boxing program, like leon spinks was, and i had a lot of blows to the head. i don't know if they give me tbi. i still remember a thing before i was 18 years old. -- i still don't remember

. >> it was michele bachmann denounced the tea party caucus -- announced the tea party caucus. i think it is a sign of success. i do not know if the caucus becomes important or not. we will wait to see what happens. but what you see is that you have candidates from both political parties, and even funnies. everybody is trying to pretend a day are a tea party guy now. we are like the cool kids, and everybody wants to get up on our stage. i do we have to continue to police our community so that we do not get phonies, we get people committed to those ideas. these are politicians, all due respect to them. >> what is interesting is that none of the republican leadership signed on. neither the wit nor the minority leader signed on. does that speak to anything about the republican party? >> dick armey was one of the engineers of the republican revolution in 1994. i worked on the capital in 1993 and watched this from the back benches. you always have to bring the republican caucus kicking and screaming on to good policy ground. i do not know exactly why that is, but just except that. t
