jinx me now is congressman charlie rangel of new york. so congressman, what did you and rick perry talked about? >> we actually didn't. i was in the car, and i heard over the air that rick perry was visiting someone in my district. it was a very small bar and there wasn't that many people, and there was no dinner. there wasn't even any hors d'oeuvres, but after i got there and found out he wasn't there, i took some pictures and met with some people that i didn't know from queens and outside the district, and then he comes in, and, of course, it was a little awkward for him but i was very comfortable there. when it came time for him to give his speech, i -- i welcomed him to the district and told him that in no uncertain terms the best thing that ever happened for president obama was his candidacy. and quite frankly outside -- >> when you say that -- when you say that, why do you feel the best thing that ever could happen to president obama in his re-election efforts would be rick perry? >> actually i watch the debate that was taking place

there is no better proof than the former house ways & means committee chairman charlie rangel who was easily re-elected in november 2010 in the middle of a highly publicized house ethics committee investigation which ultimately led to his formal censure by the house of representatives. some democratic spinners tried to blame yesterday's loss on the weak democratic candidate, but weak democratic candidates like charlie rangel easily win new york city congressional seats in normal times. the republican candidate who took the seat away from the democrats was as weak a republican as new york politics can produce. the now victorious bob turner who has never been elected to public office will take to the republican house of representatives a private sector career that includes having been the head of the production company that created "the jerry springer show." it is doubtful the new springer influence on house republicans will improve much the general tenor of the house of representatives. local new york television was filled today with man and woman on the street, explanations of yesterd

charlie rangel. what do you make of that? cret weapon. no, he shows up -- i mean, rangel is pretty funny. you have to admit that. he's kind of the ant at the picnic and said i wanted to make him feel welcome. i think it's hilarious. the problem is republicans pulled stunts like that, they would be called overly aggressive and you're trying to spark some confrontation. i don't think there is a big deal about it. perry is smart to do this hispanic push, though. he did pretty well among the hispanic people polled a couple weeks ago. and i think you'll see mitt romney step up real outreach to those latino communities as well. it's smart. >> brian: let's see if charlie rangel, i think governor perry, let's see if he won him over yesterday. let's listen. >> i have never met governor perry. >> what do you think so far? >> i think that the republicans have a major problem with their candidates. >> including governor perry? >> you bet your life. >> steve: he went on to say of mr. perry, he's tall and he's from texas. >> he's into comme

biden has been around since the nixon administration and so has charlie rangel. and that's right. reid and pelosi have been around since the reagan era. >> greg: do you think the bipartisan thing is real? >> i think it's oversold. you can say republicans have supported this and democrats have supported this. if you have been in congress long enough, both parties have supported really, really dumb things and the fact they can agree on something isn't necessarily a good thing. look at no child left behind. you know it sucks. it's bad for the country and for the world. you know, the tax cut stuff will make the deficits worse. it is not paid for and this thing, i'm going to come back in a couple of weeks and let congress tell you how to pay for t. it's nonsenseical. >> i like the obama analogy where he's out to dinner and trying to win me back. and boehner's looking back. >> who is jim demint? he was behaving like i would rather dive into a pool of live hair dryers. >> greg: barack obama was the new boyfriend who you took a chance on and... it didn't work out. now he's trying to come

charlie rangel was on our program earlier this week as well. a viewer tweets this -- another call from louisville. this is ron, a democrat. caller: unfortunately in america this is a new norm. this will be like this for the next 10-20 years. we are not paying attention to what we are doing. the concept that small businesses cannot invest because they are concerned about anything other than clients is nonsense. people run their businesses based on demand. all of this of the talk about what the government may are not do is just fun and light to -- unenlightened thinking. host: next call is from north carolina. good morning, charlotte. you are on. caller: i do not think people are realizing that these banks and lending institutions have done it to me. they have sabotaged my business to the story my business and to push me into a financial bind and to push me into foreclosure, and not one time. i am going through this many times. they are doing it so they can take my property. for example, giving us loans and and sabotaging. this is just one -- i o

it was democratic congressman charlie rangel. perry was on rangel's turf, of course.rangel attracted some attention on his way in. let's hear what he had to say to the candidate and why he chose to make that appearance as a party crasher. >> i kind of think he's the best thing going for president obama, but i'm a democrat. i guess i'm here for the same reason that all of you are here, figuring out why he's here. isn't that so? >> what a great new york accent. anyway, fair enough. rangel had another chat with reporters as he left the event, before it was over. why the early exit, he was asked. >> i don't know how he's going to conclude, but i got out before they asked for money. >> got out before he asked for money. smart man. and finally ever heard of fact-checking? it's something that south carolina governor nikki haley is streeting as a new concept. the past few weeks haley is looking for reforms for people looking for unemployment benefits to undergo some kind of drug testing. why not, haley insisted workers at south carolina's nuclear sites are drug tested and fai

take you to this morning's "washington journal" and a conversation with new york congressman charlie rangel. host: what's your take on the president's said, a plan aimed at the 2012 election, more of a political statement than a plan? guest: first of all, i'm glad we do have a plan. i'm glad that people have something that they can talk about. i'm glad that the unemployed and the hopeless would note that the congress has not forgotten them. quite frankly i don't believe that he has anyone to discuss the plan with. plans aren't just given to the congress. plans are discussed. hearings are heard. decisions are made. and most importantly, we need right now is that people think that we're together in working out our differences. when the majority in the house, the republicans tell the president ahead of time that when the senate leaders say that they're going to reject all revenues, moving the post further and further away from any kind of talking, not solution to the problems, but talking about it, then it may turn out unfortunately 2012 because you need someone to talk with. host: we want to
