barak barak comes to mind. >> supposedly. the fact that he didn't want to run. >> eisenhower certainly comes to run. >> what do we make of hillary clinton? do you see any signs that the mid-jonathan is talking about in the democratic party which has been highlighted. bill deblasio, winning the. is there any sign larry somers? . >> he torpedoed. yeah. >> she had the challenge of spending four years as secretary of state where she engaged very little in domestic politics, where she saw at the same time in that same period the democratic party move to the left on a lot of issues. so she was chained for four years to the issues that she ran on in 2008. i think worry going to see her move back to the left. although, she's been fairly quiet for the last, you know, several months, right? i think we hear a lot from clinton world whispers, saying she doesn't want to get out front and be the prumtive nom know the way she was in 2008 because it didn't work out so well for her. at some point she will have to come out and mod you late. >> in stories like rumblesings that could force her out and mover up her time table if she feels, loirks wow, there is movement building. therer questions i sort of have to answer, positions i have to take. >> that could affect her time table. >> she said in an interview this week, she's going to decide next year. she will think about it next 84. which is hard to believe she's not thinking about it just now. >> she's hanging out. >> hanging out. yeah. it could, but she doesn't have, warren will have an issue with raising money that clinton won have. she has this infrastructure set up. she can take as much time as she wants, she has that. she has name i.d. with those lesser-known candidates as we all know, you need to get out there sooner and faster. >> if i was warren the interesting thing, this to mena. this to me was the launch, august, 2011, film at a fundraiser in massachusetts. this video went viral. let's play a clip of that for a minute. >> there is nobody in this country who got rich on his own, nobody. you balt factory out there. good for you. but i want to be clear, you moved your gods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. you hired workers, the rest of us paid to educate. you built a factory and it turned in something terrific or a great idea, god bless. cope a big hunk of it. but part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along. >> and jonathan, she tapped no something with that that no one in the national democrat, she raised a huge amount of money for her senate became. she became a lot of whiches i said democrat chris christie, a viral video that raised her a national star. >> she raised $42 million second only to who? somebody named clinton. hillary clinton raced more than that in '06 when she was running for re-election in new york a. lot of that money was given to her for other purposes besides being reelected in the empower state. besides 42 million, she built this army of grass roots supporters up. hundreds of thousands of small do nor dollars she has. her list is probably second if democratic politics only to hillary clinton herself in active politicians. >> that video was so important that a fellow named obum actually --? i was going to bring this up. >> picked up on her rhetoric and got in trouble for it. >> you didn't build that. >> it became the republican national convention's rallying croix. they had huge signs that said, we built this. >> i guess the obama people were laying this trap, they botched their convention, he did not deliver the loin the way she did. she did give it the themematic whole strength. >> warren's strength she can articulate these ideals as no one else can, including hillary clinton. >> which is why i say democrat chris chris tow does. we got to cut this off, sec way to something that is very elizabeth warren related, the mansion boat. it not every cosmo centerfold, now he is being accused of flirting with voters in other states. we will play the wingman, we will pull occupy bar stole. that's next. b bst >> let's go back to last november when scott brown lost his re-election race to elizabeth warren. >> there are no obs cams you can't overcome and defeat is only temporary. list listen -- >> honestly, at the time it felt like losing that election was only going to be a speed bump for scott brown. his political future seemed bright and obvious. the massachusetts governor's office would be wide opened in 2014, even though voters rejected him for the senate. they still liked brown personally, they liked him a lot. polls show he was still after losing to elizabeth warren the most popular senator in massachusetts. this state is definitely a blue state. four of the five recent governors were republicans, voting for the person, not the party, not an empty expression when it comes to governor's races, it looked like brown would turn and and be back in the game. what he has actually done since then is left everyone, that includes his old allies in massachusetts and everywhere else, scratching her to heads, he even knows what he is trying to do. he sent out this indecipherable tweet, that didn't help out either. in last nine months, brown has flirted with running in the special election for john kerry's u.s. senate seat. he visited iowa twice. he toyed with the idea of running for president. now he is appearing regularly in new hampshire, where brown has put his massachusetts home on the market, which would leave him with just one house in new hampshire. now, pomming shows he'd be at least competitive in a race, brown has been coy in what he is up to. it got to be too much for the powerful conservative voice in new hampshire t. feared editorial page of the union leader, which excorated brown for his state flirtation, brown quote makes jean jahine stronger and the state republican party weaker. they issued an ultimatum, brown needs to move here and state a run or state definitively he will not be a candidate. here to talk about what brown is doing is the author of that editorial page editor drew klein. drou, thanks for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> first of all, any -- scott brown people, have you heard from them after you wrote this? >> no. we didn't get 18 feedback. our political reporter called him and talked to him about it. he didn't reach out to us. which is interesting. it falls into the consistent pattern of him not reaching out to any top folks in new hampshire. >> so let's go back to help you understand new hampshire's perspective on this. go back to the race with martha coakley and 2010, january, so before that, he's way up in the polls, right? he becomes, before he becomes a national republican hero, he is a new hampshire republican hero because new hampshire in every election even municipal elections gets democrats from massachusetts flooding over the board tore make phone calls to commodore-to-door and republicans in new hampshire resent that a lot. this was the first time republicans in new hampshire ever got the opportunity to give them back. go down to massachusetts and it was huge, republicans flooded. now you go to call centers, brown campaign set up call centers near the border so new hampshire republicans can go down and make phone calls for him and they were full. so he was this great hero in new hampshire to republicans. >> so there would be potentially an opening for him, to avoid the carpet backer charge. there is a ground swell? >> new hampshire is a state with more than half residents are from out of state. so he could conceivably come in. now we go to the last six months or. so if april, he's at an event for martin luther king, jr., a memorial event. he talks a lot about himself. someone asks him about running in new hampshire. he talks incessantly about how he's basically grew up in new hampshire. a lot of family ties here. all of a sudden, joan shaheen starts raising money. so he comes a lot more times to new hampshire. he's been here seven or eight times and every trip now that shaheen campaign gets in overdrive an raises lots of money. he has not made any steps to call top republicans in the state or gotten any operation on the ground, but he won't rule it out. >> so he has no real relationship with the republican party establishment. so locking at this race if 2014, new hampshire is a state that used to be a republican state long ago, now it is a swing state. joan shaheen is a marginal favorite, certainly it could be a competitive race. are there other republicans crowded out because of the attention scott brown is taking up? >> that is unclear. probably not at this point. it's no so much a crowd out as it is he's crowding a fund raising. since he opened the door, shaheen can tap into networks. we were talking how vast elizabeth warren's fundraising network is. it's huge. bus of scott brown. without that connection, shaheen would not be able to tap into that fund raising network. it's a huge advantage. he either doesn't realize it. we hope the editorial will help him realize it or doesn't care. that's a concern i think to a lot of republicans in new hampshire. so he's gone from this hero, everybody thought he helped us get being those massachusetts liberals to what is he doing? he is hurting us. >> what does this look like nationally? he became massachusetts a national republican hero, his sort of behavior since the election in 2010, how have republicans nationally, how have the national press been looking at scott brown? >> they look smaller, no question about it. when you go from this sort of conquering hero he was in 2010 to okay, he had a top reelect in a top state in a presidential year, he loses, his campaign raised a lot of money. what's next? he will run for governor of massachusetts. i will not do that. maybe senate new hampshire. long, dope ties will? >> he talked about the president at one point. >> the senate seat was vacated. >> he then goes to iowa, to the state fair, but in a way where it's almost like he's reading the state's direction, like i'm here in iowa at the state fair. you know what that moans. >> on a stick, he'sic loo, quick. >> this is a guy addicted to the attention he got for a few years, he is looking for anyway to gint up? >> you have to have some kind of focus, pick a body. pick a seat. it seems like he doesn't know what he wants to do. he is keeping his options opened. i can do this, this, or this. >> it also helps to maintain the attention that got him his contributor job at fox news, for example, right? he wants to be a part of the political mindset. i'm from new england. i know like drew does that new hampshire has a very distinct political culture. republicans may like him there. they also hate when they're treated like an overflow from massachusetts, right? so there is this kind of sense he would have to battle, well, i conwin in massachusetts, so i guess i'll try that state up north, right? >> no, i grew up in new england, i'm one of those massachusetts people that would go to nashua or new hampshire because they have a shopping mall tax. do you want him to run? because you would like to have jean shaheen to lose, do you want scott brown to win? do you think he would be the best republican option? >> i don't think it's a matter of do we want him, you know, to come or not. it's not a matter of inviting scott brown. he's got to make up his own mind on what he wants to do. the republicans in new hampshire will, you know, there will be candidates to kooz from. so it's not really from the leader perspective, it's not our job to sort of weigh in on that and say, hey, let's recruit a candidate for republicans. we don't really do that. but the point with brown is, he's got to stop treating new hampshire, if he wants to have -- even if he doesn't want to run here, which all the signs point to him not wanting to run here. he should have the courtesy to keep a good relationship two new hampshire republicans and to be respectful of their needs and he doesn't seem to be doing that right at the moment. at least, maybe he's not intentionally being disrespectful, but it's coming across that by a. he's got a lot of republican activists in the state upset with him. >> the union lordy, the favorite thing is you aren't afraid to run the front page editorials. maybe you ned to do that next time. thanks to drew klein. joining us, three things i love still ahead, politics, more politic, new york city and football. it's a good day. we'll go get to it. >>> [ all ] fort benning, georgia in 1999.

>> well, i look at the fact that market greene i think would have won had he not agreed to let rudy stay in office for 90 days following 2011. >> this was in 2001, he was running. >> terrible, terrible mistake. the electorates will say, geeze, if you can't handle things, why should we vote for you? i think that made the difference. i was supporter of his. he had been a commissioner of mine. he asked me about a lot of advice. he never asked me about. that had he, i would have said, hell no. >> but you were mayor at and we get to sort of the end there for you in 1993 when you lost that really closeways ra is to rudy guiliani, you were mayor at a difficult time in new york city. we talk about the crown riots, one of the famous examples of the era. but you were mayor at a time when there was a lot happening in new york. there were a lot of divisions that didn't have anything to do with you. it was the way the city was back then. take us back to what it was like trying to govern a city with all of that going on around you? what was it like back then? >> well, our city is a gorgeous mosaic. i went to school in harlem part of the time. we were told new york city is a melting pot. i don't agree. i think it is a gorgeous mosaic. we have as many separate ethnic identities in new york. almost as many as the united nations has member nations. it's a great city. it's a wonderful city to govern if you like public service and you like people. it's the best job i ever had, that's for sure. >> well, you write in your new book, this got a little press attention when asked about it. you wrote in your booking look back anence the 1993 company against guiliani, when asked why i lost? i used to say, "why do you think?" i did not want to say it out, racism, pure and simple. >> i might have more artfully phrased that. if one considers the contest of '89, i had three opponents. ed koch incumbent, dick ravage, a very bright guy, who did a great job with the mta and jay gold one i say is the most articulate knowledgeable person in the government t. conventional wisdom was we wouldn't win, even if i finished first, i wouldn't get 40% and each of the other three being jewish, their supporters would gang up against me, i'd lose. we got 51%. yet in the general election against rudy, 1989, he is not yet america's mayor, 9-11 has not occurred. she a prosecutor to be sure, nothing extra special and 1.9 million votes cast, we had a mar jen of of about 50,000. then in '93 i say had not there been or maybe i should have made it more clear, had there not been a gorge genti report governor cuomo ordered about crown heights and the fact that they put the succession owe glow staten island voters, the succession referendum. >> the governor mario cuomo, that is, is a legal scholar, no way in hell can you take a portion of the city and excise it from the balance with the whole city being responsible for the city's debt. so i've always maintained that was unconstitutional in the first place. but to my great surprise, mel miller, the speaker of the assembly, let it pass and i said, sorry the governor never signed it. but he did. i think those things perhaps more than anything else contributed to our loss. but i can't say just racism alone, because i never would have been elected in '89 had not a lot of white folks voted for me. >> what do you make quickly, we have the polls here, bill deblasio ahead by 50%. so much of the success of rudy guiliani and bloomberg is sort of defining themselves and what they represent against the char ka chur of you and what you represent. if you elect a democrat, you will get all of these problems in the late 1980s the fact that city is in a place to elect a democrat by an overwhelming margin, do you think that indicates new york has sort of moved on from the guiliani and bloomberg eras? >> i think it shows a lot positive about bill deblasio. we have to give him credit by way of full disclearier, i supported bill johnson, but deblasio i like. he and his wife both worked in our administration. and i think a lot of him and i think that the add with his son dante and the big after fro, it's the best i have seen ever. >> there was video that got attention, you were giving a toast in 1984, see if you have ties to him as well. probably the next mayor of new york city. anyway, our thanks, to former mayor david dinkins of new york. we'll be right back after this. >> thank you, buddy. ♪ [ male announcer ] let's go places. but let's be ready. ♪ let's do our homework. ♪ let's look out for each other. let's look both ways before crossing. ♪ let's remember what's important. let's be optimistic. but just in case -- let's be ready. toyota. let's go places, safely. but just in case -- let's be ready. so i can reach ally bank 24/7, but there ar24/7.branches?

republicans think they have a message or is this a message gaining any traction? >> good luck. yoep. there are so many federal workers who do, who can't go to work right now. opening a national park isn't going to solve that. so i don't think so. i think this strategy can only go so far, especially when you lock at something like nih. this is an organization that republicans have cut money from over the last couple years, now they're saying, you should open it up, we node these services, there is a little disconnect there. i don't see it going very far. it's not harry read won't do it, reality. >> the national workers don't care in a national park or memorial is opened or not. but there are a lot of americans out there who so far haven't felt the effects of the shutdown. yesterday i was at a barber shop in brooklyn. i asked them for the kornacki. they didn't quite get it right. >> they cut your hair right. >> i was talking to emthis. they said i think the republican message that, you know, democrats, we heard rand paul on that hot mic moment say, you know, democrats i don't think they poll tested this, we won't negotiate strategy. we will eventually win. i don't think it's gotten through. i don't think also that most americans are broadly blaming one party or the other. the poms are showing the republicans are getting more blame. in general, i think people who aren't paying close attention think both parties node to figure it out. i think the republicans are hoping, we want to fund the cancer patients the war memorialles, the things as soon as they pop up in the press that that will eventually steer the narrative their way. >> then have you like mortgages being don'ted. you have all these other things, what about that? what about that? >> that was the story the last shutdown, too, the rip him effect of the shutdown. >> it takes a little while. >> it is that rts to affect the broader economy. then poem start to feel in a more direct way. >> that's what i'm saying. i think that strategy has a very limited. >> we were talking at the top of the show, you in the course of your reporting, you are pretty well connected to the republican world. what are you hearing about the rubs you talk about in how they are reacting to the shutdown, itself. this idea of do they think they're winning, is that what you are hear income. >> i had a story in the "times" about the elder statesmen and the veterans around for quite a few campaigns who are increaseingly angry because to borrow the bob corker phrase, they were led to this box canyon and the fact is defunding obama care was never going to happen for the obvious reasons we know about harry read and barakon the rollout, at times rocky rollout of the health care law, everything is focused entirely on the shutdown. so this is frustrating for republicans who see president obama's numbers at a two-year low in our poll, why are we giving him the life line right now? so i think that is a source of deep frustration. it also is a part of a larger lament, larger complaint i find also, year of election, their second essential loss, they are locked in this interminal bull back and forth with president obama over spending issues in washington and that the reform of the party is being obscured or delayed because they can never get out of these intractable problems with president obama. and the people who believe the governors in the party or the salvation are really angry because the face of the party is, if not ted cruz, it's john boehner and mitch mcconnell. they want the face of the party to be chris christie, scott walker, brian sandeval. so i think you feel a lot of republicans who are angry a

at the start of this saturday morning, we find ourselves questioning the status quo, that barak barakto end the cycle of crazy and u.s. legislative process. we will talk about that in just a minute. also, eight democratic members of congress got themselves arrested in an effort to change washington away from the shutdown. we will be

of that bipartisan spirit of how barak barak was campaigning before he became president and dealt with this reflexive obstruction. i think it has probably changed barakonder how it will change booker. >> barak obama talks in his book how much he likes dick lugger in his best friend. >> cory booker, you ask him on the news hour, what's the model of the senator you want to be. he talks about elizabeth warren. he is out there talking about gay marriages. he wants to stake-out a progressive name for himself. he is not signing away from that label. even though he doesn't want a partisan label. it will be interesting to watch if he pushes that progressive side of the senate. then the other thing here there is a huge generational shift. there are a handful of members who are in their early 40s. he is now one of them. you see the senate actually change. >> that could change where policy goes one day. >> at least in the relative recent past, he didn't sound like elizabeth warren. he was on "meet the press" about a year-and-a-half in the 2012 campaign. the obama campaign was making private equity. cory booker among democrats got along with this. >> this kind o

he went on to lose to barak barak and then came another self reinvention.d with the most anti-obama republican, the second time in eight years, mccain made himself the chief tormenter of a president he had been defeated by. when he and obama shared the stage at a health care summit in 2010, the president called him out on it. >> let me make this point, john, because we're not campaigning anymore. the election is over. >> i am reminded of that every day. >> now, suddenly, we seem to be looking at yet another john mccain, one who is motivated by a new nemesis. >> that is effective in his legislative agenda once again. battle lines were drawn on the floor of the senate this past may. >> the senate is supposed to debate and discuss and give our passionate appeals and believes and put it to the will of the body. >> that itself the protection of the individual senator. not to just say we're not going to do anything. that's not the way the american people want us to act. >> it has been suggested that we are whacko birds. well, if that is the case, i will suggest t

barak barak they told him it was a bag of potato chims. it was all branding. the republican brand has been i believe so shattered by what's happened you can lock at all the numbers. how did they pull themselves up from 24%? >> there is only one thing that's been shattered more than the republican brand. that's the brand of congress a. study the other day said 40% should be voted out of office. the american people, almost half of congressmen they would vote out of office. obviously, more republicans. the american people are the ultimate check and balance and what will happen come 2014 the world will shift t. average american person doesn't exactly understand obama care or the sequester is. but they understand that right now the politicians in washington, particularly congress, particularly republicans are not acting in their best interest and they have a way of speaking up. >> you know what else they understand, too, that obama care from these stories they've seen on tv. they don't know a lot about it. the first thing they really know about it is, it doesn't work. like the computer systems. hey, manhattan guys and gals, let's not kid ourselves. that's what they're talking about over dinner tames i tables. it feeds into that washington doesn't work. >> the obum care, the american people have moved on from obama care. even the ones who are against it, 65% said it's okay. >> i'm not saying, i'm talking about washington's brand, if you don't think like at dockouts this weekend when they talk about what a mess it is in washington, they're not talking about the crazy republicans. they're also talking about like the fact that barak barobama th can't run a website. >> the silver lining to this is you have to bottom out before there is real change. >> how low do we have to go? >> coming into 2014 the american people are going to speak. i think the tea party and poem are not going to be afraid to be a priority any more. like you talked about yesterday, smart guys and women are going to stand up. this is going to be a seat change. >> right, right. i don't know where to start. >> you disagree? >> a couple things, i'll leave the bag of chips aside. i think they did a really good job the president. >> it's all a bag of chips. >> there is nothing wrong with a back of potato chips. >> it's marketing. >> as far as the obama care website not working. >> i said they marketed it like a can of cola? the way they marketed ronald reagan. jfk. >> the messaging and connecting with the people than wove seen in generations and, quite frankly, that is why we have health care reform, with i is no one else could do and we're arguing a

. >> first of all, we have -- >> did you see that picture of barak barak with his arm around her, willie? >> she doesn't want to be touched. >> she's german, she doesn't want to be touched. >> look. joe, this is a chance, be post-past sand, remember. mr. president bush. >> that's what i'm saying. >> this is post-traumatic stress. >> stop touching her. >> rubbing her shoulders, she flinches, she's uncomfortable. >> that's an intimate hug. >> hey, text me later. >> stop, stop, stop. okay. joining us now from august. >> obviously, meacham's lying. >> -- former director of the nsa and the cia, our friend of the show here general michael hayden. thank you for being here on the show. >> george w. bush, we were talking about the yesterday, did george w. bush cap -- >> did the bush administration do this type of a baum dream. >>. >> of course, we did. again, i will not get into any specifics here. but this is normal behavior between nation states. this is an "r" rated movie. this is how adult nations treat each other. it's fully accepted. let me give you a concrete example. remember president ob
