the voice, clint eastwood, mr. true grit, tough guy, dirt ysh harry, in the city talking about detroit and the way american can come back. it captivated the audience i was with yesterday. it is a tribute to the american worker and a success story. yeah, it's a locker room pep talk, which is cool, but also recognized the people in the country who are are going through a lot of hurt right now. >> people of detroit know a little something about this. they almost lost everything. but we all pulled together, now motor city is fighting again. >> we all pulled together, the rebirth of the american automobile industry, certainly a story worth celebrating. but let's not get carried away with saying we all came together. this was an extremely heavy lift for some in washington. a majority of the american people opposed giving loans to chrysler and general motors. top republican officials were against the loans, including the current front-runner for the republican nomination. >> no question but that if you just write a check

i'm a huge fan of clint eastwood.one ad but it's what happens when you have chicago-style politics and they're using our tax dollars to buy corporate advertising. >> please, karl rove complaining about that? he's the guy who invented the idea of paying back political patronage. he's offended. get out of here. clint eastwood has this to say to karl rove. [laughing] >> stop, let go. >> what are you looking at, old man. >> whenever you come across someone once in a while you shouldn't have messed with. that's me. >> that's me karl. no, of course, that's from "grand torino" where he played another tough guy who supported the movie in this sense the detroit carmakers, gm. we're going to have a discussion where i might come out with an opposing opinion. i thought it was a decent point that the republicans have but i want to bringing weresives with a different point of view. let me welcome in our power panel. ♪ >> jimmy dor is here with us in the studio, and with us trish rose professor of brown university and great to have

i'm a huge fan of clint eastwood. i thought it was an extremely well done ad but it's a sign of what happens when you have chicago-style politics and the president of the united states and his political mignons are in essence using our tax dollars to buy corporate advertising and the best wishes of the management which is benefited by getting a bunch of our money that they'll never pay back. >> chicago-style politics. he won't quit. team obama praised the chrysler ad. dan pfeiffer, the white house communications director tweeted, saving the american auto industry, something eminem and clint eastwood can agree on." in a reference to eminem's pro-detroit ad in last year's super bowl campaign. david axelrod for obama tweeted, powerful spot. did clint shoot that or just narrate it? and bill burn, a former white house aide who co-founded the pro-obama super pac priorities usa tweeted clint eastwood #winning. i think it's both ways. and i just -- isn't it amazing to listen to rove find some nasty way of describing this thin

clint bowyer on lap 104 told his team my car is getting hotter and hotter., you guys i cannot keep this thing cool at all. >> larry: michael waltrip, he ran in the budweiser shootout gatorade duel. he has time in a race car this week. him and i had a conversation the other day. it is manageable. watch your gage and your lights but got to stick that thing out there and breathe it but if you let it go too far you might not be able to recover. >> michael: he laid back and when gets a chance he pops the nose out to the right to get fresh air into the engine. that is a huge concern. back close to the front running with a gap in front of him and he can't keep his engine cool. how is he going to go win the race at the end? >> larry: and this year a smaller capacity radiator. now, if you lose a little bit of water that equates to a whole lot of water and you get hot a lot quicker. he may have got in trouble and can't get out. >> mike: to discourage lengthy bump drafting in tandem nascar minimized the size of the opening in the bumper for the radiator to get any cool

clint eastwood, thank you very much. since we have been talking about eastwood and the car bailouts, let's not forget. u.s. taxpayers are still three years later on the hook for $24 billion. we still own a big chunk of general motors, and gmac. and, oh, by the way, i hate to say this, those chrysler cars? most of the new ones are being made in canada, as it turns out, not the usa. i frankly don't care. but some people do. let's debate the bailouts, bring in our dynamic duo. robert reich, former labor secretary, author of "aftershock" and steve moore, author of "return to prosperity." steve moore, an interesting point. detroit is coming back, but these cars are being made in ontario. that's the weird part. two or three out of the four chrysler models are being made in ontario or china or austria, not being made in detroit, steve. so there. >> well, that may explain why i just got back from detroit two weeks ago. anybody who thinks detroit is on a comeback, every other house in detroit is boarded up and in foreclosure. it'

it's great to be here. >> oh, did you not love that clint eastwood ad? was it just fantastic?i loved that clint east qood ad and it seems like everybody around the united states loved that ad, but especially here in michigan. you can imagine in the detroit the proud -- the proud -- the feelings that people have about what's been accomplished. i mean, there was so much at stake. and you hear karl rove really just out of step and a little bit off message there. i mean, even clint eastwood himself said, how could anybody not be for what the spirit of this ad was all about? the resilience, hard-working americans that needed really a hand up, not a handout and the obama administration saw to it to step in and to stick with these people. mitt romney, what did he say? >> right. >> he had four words. he said, let them go bankrupt. >> right. in fact, back on the ad for one moment, of course, sergio marquione, the head of chrysler said it was not political at all, just an ad about an industry getting up off of its knees. there was another super bowl ad, though, this one run by senate ca

clint eastwood starred in chrysler's halftime america super bowl ad. he was in favor of what came with the auto bailouts but you should think again. eastwood spoke to "squawk box." >> we're talking from this time on, that's what the whole idea was from this time on, from now on we got to forget the bailouts were right or wrong. in my opinion, i'm not a pro with that, i think if companies don't have the ability and they're not run well enough to exist, then they should go into bankruptcy and work their way out of it. that's where the creativity comes in. people have to get creative when the pressure is on, and that's exa exactly what happened, but you know, some people feel it's great to pour out a lot of dough, but you pour out a lot of dough, somebody has to pay it somewhere. >> that was clint eastwood speaking about the auto bailouts, which he had spoken out against at the time, and he says even though he did do this ad for chrysler he still thinks that was not necessarily the way to go. a lot of people, guys, who looked at that ad and thought it was

." >> that is of course the great clint eastwood, playing the role of dirty harry. in his 1983 film "sudden impact" go ahead, make my day. five words that have lived on since they were spoken on the big screen. when clint eastwood said that in 1983, there was a fellow actor occupying the oval office who recognized the power of the line, decided to make it his own. >> i have my veto pen drawn and ready for any tax increase that congress might even think of sengd up. i have one thing to say to the tax increases, go ahead, make my day. >> ronald reagan was so fond of the whole clint eastwood make my day thing he put his own spin on that line from time to time. >> if we liberate the energies and imagination of the american people, and allow them the wherewithall to build their dreams, america will be a dynamo leading the world in the 1990's, and a new era of prosperity the likes of which this world has never before seen. that is our goal, that is our challenge. i might put it this way. go ahead, america, make my decade. >> this was perfect for republicans in the 1980 cl

clint bowyer, joey logano.fords. >> larry: and marcus ambrose in the 9 has it been strong the entire speedweeks. top five in the gatorade duel race. >> darrell: that car of matt kenseth when came into the pits he was having some sort of issue. here they are circulating water through the thing on the left side. the guys have a water hose putting water in the car trying to cool it back down. >> larry: it as fresh ride system. and what they have done, steve, looked like they tried to get the water back out and get the system back full. >> steve: matt kenseth said he said it is like the water system won't pre surize. the water temperatures are fluctuating wildly for him. just another issue. having radio problems as well. >> darrell: think about your own passenger car. the water temperature won't fluctuate at all if you don't have any water in it. got to get water back in it because the gages can't work without water. >> mike: kenseth still on the lead lap but not with the lead pack. joe nemechek has taken his car t

clint eastwood, #winning. and i just -- isn't it amazing to listen to rove find a nasty way of describing this thing. he actually calls this some sort of pay-back for the bail out, and that is why they do it. where does he think the conspiracy meetings are held, anyway? you don't want to comment? >> i break with karl, he's reading too much in it. the key to the ad that makes it so powerful it has a optimistic vision of the future, that is key to politics and winning and that is what john kerry never got, he painted a really bleak vision of the future, this is something george w. bush always understood, and that is you can't go out and campaign whether you're the challenger or incumbent and say the future looks terrible, follow me. >> dukakis and al gore, kerry, i don't know what is in the democrat's blood stream that makes them do that. ronald reagan evoked in that america on the road to recovery ad, "morning in america" let's watch and listen. >> it's morning again, in america. today, more men and women will

lilt let me go back to clint.an't get out of your mind the situation what it must have been like for those students, early in the morning, some of them just waking up, some of them in the cafeteria finishing their breakfast as they were approaching first period. in situations like this, when we've had school shootings, are they pretty much always preplanned? >> there usually is some element of preplanning, chris. now, we may be talking about simply days as opposed to weeks or months. but, again, getting your hands on the weapon, deciding when you're going to take it in, you know, my question when i've looked at these in the past is why this day? what was the emotional catalyst that caused this person to act out on this particular day. this is what law enforcement profilers, investigators, are trying to understand. the terrible thing is, chris, that we're forced to learn from every one of these to try to better understand what goes on in the mind of someone like this. how do they plan it? and then, hopefully, distr

the world's about to hear the roar of our engines says clint. the best of the ads later in the show. >>> first let's get to the news live at 5:30 a.m. here at 30 rock in new york city where all the news is, of course, about the new york giants. the front page of "the new york post" calling them champs with a photograph of eli manning. wouldn't you know it, the "daily news" has spread champs as well for eli manning. four years after stunning the undefeated new england patriots in super bowl xlii, eli and the giants are champions once again. the fourth quarter again belonged to eli. this was the play of the game. down two points in the fourth quarter with 3:45 left on the clock. manning leading his team downfield. this is mario manningham on the first play of the drive, making the catch, a beautiful throw and catch. also getting those two feet inbounds. they reviewed it and it stood. a huge passing play. the giants march the ball down to the 6 yard line. this was a strange play. the patriots let ahmad bradshaw score the touchdown. he had an instin

(click of gun) (clint eastwood) the "outlaw josey wales" was written by an indian, or at least he was was a man who spent an awful lot of time with indian issues in this particular country and had a lot of sympathy towards it. what appealed to me with the project is that it was one of the first stories that really depicted indians with a sense of humor. it's not right this d--- woman doing something like this. i used to have powers, now old age creeps up on me. (josey wales) well, it's more like old habits than old age. (chief dan george) who the h--- is this woman? chief dan george was very funny in the film. and then will sampson played the indian comanches and tribe who -- and josey wales ends up, instead of -- they're both -- though they're both warriors, they end up understanding one another because they are warriors, but they also understand the necessity for negotiation. it is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life, or death. it shall be life (dramatic music playing) so will it be. i reckon so. (narrator) the same year clint eastwood directed "outlaw josey w

. >> was clint eastwood's superbowl ad meant to boost chrysler? >> come inside. >> there's good news for president obama in the latest news poll. 50% of americans approve of the way he is handling his job which is pretty amazing, given the economic climate, putting him at his highest approval numbers since last spring. the polls find 50% say he deserves another term and he agrees. >> i deserve a second term, but we're not done. we've made progress, and the key right now is to make sure we don't start turning in a new direction that could throw that progress off. >> none of this bodes well for president obama's likely republican rival, former massachusetts mitt romney in a head-to-head matchup, president obama beats him by six points among registered voters. the bad news for romney doesn't end there, as more get to know him, the less they like him. that's not stopping his attack dog tactics. former pennsylvania senator rick santorum and the reason for the hostility is more bad poll numbers. minnesota voters has santorum beating romney 29% to 27%. s

it's a super bowl ad featuring clint eastwood that has both sides fired up. >>> this morning, the supermodel slam. gisele bundchen blasting tom brady's teammates, perhaps making the ultimate foul. >>> good tuesday morning, everybody. i'm paula faris. >> and i'm rob nelson. >>> we're learning new and wrenching details about how josh powell carried out the murder of his two little boys. >>> the two children died of smoke inhalation, but also suffered severe head and neck injuries. >> reporter: it's a horrific crime that has left so many wondering how it could have happened. >> i was afraid if he had the chance, the only way he could win this game he was playing was to kill them. >> reporter: more disturbing details have emerged. josh powell tried to kill his 7-year-old son, charles, and 5-year-old braden, with a hatch chet before the fire took their lives. >> i don't know if his intent was to try to put them out before the fire took them, but he didn't do a very good job. >> reporter: the children were taken to the home on sunday by a case worker for court-ordered visitation. he locked the cas

two things, number one, clint east wood is a republican. i know the man.e few republicans in hollywood and people complained all the time. they always said, well, you have got clint eastwood, right in the other thing is karl rove said he found this appalling, right? does he remember, the auto bailout was started not by president obama, it was started by george bush when karl rove was in the white house. so talk about hypocrisy. you know what it is, reverend al, they don't want detroit to succeed, if detroit succeeds, america suck seeds and president obama suck seeds. >> let me show you this not only did karl rove say it was appalling, rush limbaugh had the audacity to suggest that clint eastwood, nobody's fool, was scammed. listen to this. >> i think eastwood got scammed. i think he got scammed, roped into doing something he thought was patriotic and ended up being played. >> i mean, it was patriotic. >> look, clint eastwood ain't nobody's fool, okay? and i think rush better be careful messin' with dirty harry here, you know? but again, it represents the b
