bunning and coburn passed it, today they blame the democrats? >>> bondage club gate. michael steele says he's under pressure because he's african-american. the same guy who that says -- >> a lot of folks have a different margin. it's a different role for me to play and others to play. and that's just the reality of it. >> line of the day, robert gibbs, quote, i think michael steele's problem isn't the race card, it's the credit card. >>> the florida urologist who puts politics ahead of patients. who says if you voted for obama you should go see a different doctor. >> it was just fun for me. it's like a provocative billboard. >> not fun for a would-be patient who complains to the authorities. congressman alan grayson facilitates. he's our special guest. >>> beck compares what he's doing to what rosa parks did. seriously. >>> and the tiger woods apology tour, stop number two.

number bun. -- number one.number two, to the extent it reflects other issues that may have prompted that language, there has to be a way to work those issues out. >> now, with the fdic -- when they were not given the access to the files. they weren't given space. and they were asked for reasons, they're not even given reasons. when i asked, well, what was the reason given by ots, they said we weren't given any reasons. then you have an interagency memorandum, which has now been entered into. as i understand this, the agency negotiated this memorandum. there's a standard for fdic access. an fdic involvement. is this interagency memorandum -- and i ask this of you, ms. bair, is this memorandum being renegotiated? what's the status of this memorandum?ñc- >> no, it's not sufficient and it is being renegotiated. >> and why is that? >> because as our i.g. pointed how the it's circular and it requires us to show risk before we can get access and frequently we need the access to prove the risk. so we really need much b

the opponent, son of ron paul, the former presidential candidate, endorsed by sarah palin and jim bunning. he's actually ahead in the primary race. this is going to be a test to whether a tea party sentiment or movement has real political power. >> i think david, first thing we have to define is what's the tea party itself? if you say it's the anger that people feel about the economy, et cetera, that's giving the tea party too much credit. we had two recent tea party demonstrations in washington, one a week before the health care vote, drew about 1,000 people. the tax day rally by the organizers' own estimate was 1,50 people. if i organized aa rally for stronger laws to protect pup byes, i would get 100,000. i think it's blown out of proportion. secondly, there is anger out there at washington, at wall street and it's anger that's justified. we, the american people were handed a bad deal by wall street. >> there's a real thing here, whether there's the culture wars being replaced by the government wars. people really angry about whether government can manage its own affairs, when a lot of

remember that jim bunning did it before.o the fact of the matter is the republicans have been playing at this for a while. it is essential that harry reid and the democrats call them out because remember, a substantial number of republican senators are in favor of extending these benefits. they'll vote to do so once a vote is held. so we have to stop playing the games with the vote. hold it. if tom coburn wants to vote against extending the benefits that's fine. he can explain that to his constituents. he shouldn't be able to stop the vote. >> when this happened during the reagan years reagan cut taxes and unemployment went up beyond 10%, took him 28 months to reel in the unemployment numbers. this was never a discussion back then. why should it be now? >> well, the fact of the matter is the republican party has changed a great deal from the gop that ronald reagan dealt with. you know, in your previous segment you were talking about this 24/7 news cycle and the pressure of the right wing talkers on the gop. and this is one o

i don't know why she throws the bun out the window. i don't know.ll i know is if you eat a double big mac, it's like 1500 calories. that leads to very heavy people if you are eating four or five of them a day. >> you have personal responsibility. >> bill: i like personal responsibility. >> don't eat there seven days a week. >> the left has been trying to slam mcdonald's for decades. >> bill: the left? >> they want to cut the knees out from ronald mcdonald. he is the recent victim. >> bill: you say this is a political thing. >> it is philosophical. >> bill: does ronald mcdonald cause global warming? >> it could be next if they don't succeed. >> bill: could we talk about the burger king guy? he is scary. >> mcdonald's used to have grem mass. the guy who had the malt. they had the mcburglar. hamburglar. >> where did you spend your childhood. >> they were ousted. ronald mcdonald is the only guy left. >> bill: both of you would not fire ronald mcdonald? >> no. keep ronald. we are starting the campaign. >> burger king guy in prison. >> is he scary looking

when you just heard mitch mcconnell, the mental calisthenics he did, he outdid i bunning and -- he'sing go back to the back room, cut a deal, something bipartisan, and then bring it out in the open and debate it. why don't we bring it out in the open and debate it now? this goes back to december, john boehner met with 100 bank lobbyists figuring out how to kill the bill. a couple weeks ago mcconnell and john cornyn, the head of the republican senate campaign commit aye, went to new york to meet with hedge fund and other wall street executives to figure out how to kill the bill. the american banking association says the more you can delay the more chance we can write the bill to our favor or kill it. that's what they're doing. i think, though, that shows like this and your outspokenness and others', keith, will embarrass the republicans enough that they can't continue to say, no, we don't even want to debate or discuss this. it's not bipartisan to bring it out on the floor, let the amendments flow once the bill's on the floor and everybody has an equal chance. >> thank you for that, a
