he finds it in crowley's book. somewhere out in the safaris of africa when he's reading it and gobbling it up. the material progress and prosperity of a nation are desirable chiefly so far as they lead to the moral and material welfare of all good citizens. both observed in his speech. the initial draft was printed if not written by crowley himself, progress and wealth are required in not only the central government but also the nationalization of politics. a break from the american traditional limited government. the federal government should now play an interventionist role to advance progressive democracy, real democracy, as he says. for if we do not have the right kind of law and the right kind of administration, the law we cannot go forward as a nation. so in his own osawatomie speech, president obama dons t.r.'s progressive mantle. not nowhere near as high-minded as t.r. in the first place. i agree with the panelists. but he does it nonetheless. he does allude in the beginning to an america where hard work pa

>> thanks so much. >>> up next is candy crowley with "state of the union."olds and i have to think about the tailgators out in indiana. how is it looking there? >> it's going to be okay, fine, a little kind of chilly out there. >> they won't mind. >> no, and it's february. i'm sure there will be a lot of things they'll be enjoying that will keep them nice and -- warm, yeah, toasty. let's look at the forecast, this is for mainly outside the stadi stadium. inside, 68 to 72 degrees, climate controlled the difference. outside expect temperatures in the 30s and 40s for much of the day, skies partly cloudy to mostly clear and kickoff 6:29. why can't it be at 6:30, i have no idea but 6:29 is what they have. anyone who has their own big game trying to get from one end of the country to another you might have problems leaving from houston, delays just under an hour. minneapolis under an hour, fog, miami showers and orlando the same, delays under 60 minutes at this point. we expect it to improve in places like texas because most of the rain will begin to drift off ver

republican senate minority leader rich mitch mcconnell told this whopper of a lie to candy crowley. they've been trying to pretend like the president just showed up yesterday just got sworn in and was starting for sure in fact he's been in office three years he got everything he wanted from a completely compliant congress for two of those three years were really a completely compliant congress for two of those three years really then why is that the mitch mcconnell himself led his republican minority in the senate to shatter the record for the most filibusters in one session of congress a record that goes all the way back to the george washington administration obama didn't get everything you wanted from congress far from it. from the very beginning he had to negotiate down his stimulus package and make a full third of the tax cuts just to get three republican susan collins olympia snowe and arlen specter on board with it and when it came to health care you president obama really get everything you water from congress he can get a public option and he sure as heck didn't get the cor

the cloearest formulation is frm crowley. he allows that americans have an almost religious faith this their country. the traditional american confidence and individual freedom as resuhas resulted in distribution of wealth. the time has come to inject the ghosts and devote ourselves to a dominant and constructive national purpose. centered on a new theory of the state. in which expert government can regulate the economy to achieve progressive outcome. by becoming responsible for the s subordination to that purpose. the american state would be making itself responsible for a morally and socially desirable distribution of wealth. so teddy roosevelt is looking for a new and more comprehensive philosophy, he finds it in crowley's book, in the safaris of africa when he's reading it and gobbling it up. the material progress and prosperity of a nation are desirable chiefly so far as they lead to the moral and material welfare of all good citizens. both observed in his speech. the initial draft was printed if not written by crowley h

crowley and colmes will analyze. >> santorum looks stronger now. does he provide a different and more damaging and more dangerous opponenly governor roy has problems. >> i want to come back to where we are not how you see romney. the question today about santorum. >> and why is the obama re-election campaign focusing solely on mitt romney when rick santorum has pulled ahead in the polls? karl rove will tell us. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. captions by closed captioning services >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. why the media will not tell you the truth about whitney houston and drug addiction. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. today on 00 today show matt lauer and i got into it how the media is covering the death of whitney houston. you wrote this in your column. >> the media has no bleeping clue how to cover the death of whitney houston. that's because she was slowly dying for years. many in the press averted their eyes. >> bill: we looked away

candy crowley, let's start with mitt romney. i want to read crowley's rules here.oke one of them today you said do not get in your own way. keep courting the tea party types. don't let up on newt. he got in his own way today. >> yes, he has to stop doing that. i mean, because look, it's a sound bite world. the democrats are going to take so many mitt romneyisms and put those into a commercial should he become the nominee. he needs to think before executing. because he just -- he's a corporate guy. he's used to sitting around the table sort of hashing things out. just doesn't work in politics. i think he does have to keep on newt. and yet he has to sort of still get back that inevitability, that presidential look. so it has to be a pretty careful balance. i thought it was interesting that last night was all about the president. but trust me, he went after newt today. he'll go after him again. time and place. time and place. >> coming soon to a nevada tv station near you. and for speaker gingrich who went to nevada today even though most people say not a great state

knowing that such a modern executive presupposed, as crowley put it, administrative gran dizment, a kind of statism americans had not shunned and feared, t.r. insisted paradoxically the new state had to be connected vitally to public opinion. roosevelt's new nationalism, his dedication to state building, this distinguished him from his counterparts in western europe and great britain, he believed that state building had to go hand in hand, as he put it in the new nationalism speech, with more direct action by the people in their own affairs. the direct primary, he said, in kansas, would be a positive step in this directive. and during the 1912 campaign what he would engage the incumbent president, william howard taft in the first presidential primary campaign, roosevelt defended a full throated, pure democracy, as he called it. an easier method to amend the constitution. and the opportunity for the people to recall all public officials. including the president. as bill schambra has pointed out, the stand of taft and -- combined with ruthless steam roller machine politics, deprived t.r. o

from new york from queens is the chair and they had been there a number of times, i think that you crowley had been there eight times. so i learned a lot from that discussion and one of the things i did was meet with this doctor p acht pachara we had a long discussion about india's needs and demands and the need to address climate change. he expressed his disappointment with the outcome of south africa and a belief that multi-lateral solution is needed there. and he stated he believes that the findings, on that committee that he cochairs, are stronger and that heat waves and other abnormal climate events are increasing in intensity. while meeting with him and other business leaders i stressed the need to invest in renewable energy and by increased investment and partnership between the u.s. and india, with india in need of increased sources of energy to maintain economic growth, how do you think the u.s. should work to facilitate partnerships between the u.s. and india to promote ren renew able energy? >> senator, i'm happy that you had a opportunity to visit to india if confirmed hope to

general manager billy bean and president mike crowley all said to sign contract extensions to remainh the team through 2019. that according to bloomberg television. bean has been the team's gm since the end of the 1997 season and, of course, the subject of a movie "money ball" starring brad pitt. crowley took over as team president in 1998. >> pretty cool who plays in the movie. >> not a bad choice, pal. >>> 4:54 right now. i don't know who would play mike. he's the one and only. >> thank you. they broke the mold. let's go to the roadways. highway 4, just off the water. christina is talking about the fog, so are we. so antioch and concord, highway 4, 684 likely to get effects of that fog over the course of the morning. the last few minutes, i have seen speeds dip below 50 westbound. your commute direction. likely because of lower visibility through the area. again, that is clearing up. and no fog advisories for the venetian bridges coming south out of the north bay. a smooth drive so far, speed sensors slowing approaching the bay bridge. the bay bridge the only official fog advisory

i'm candy crowley in for wolf blitzer.u caught up on the other big stories this hour. in the republican presidential race mitt romney and rick santorum are gearing up for a rematch a week from tuesday with contests in michigan and arizona. polls suggest romney might suffer a very personal loss in the state where he was born and raised. santorum leads romney by five points in the latest poll of likely republican primary voters in michigan. ron paul and newt gingrich far behind. in arizona romney holds the top spot in the latest poll of likely republican primary voters. he has a seven-point advantage over santorum and again newt gingrich and paul are trailing. our analysts are standing by to talk about the contests ahead. but first, rick santorum says he's froubd a conservative and a catholic. his politics and religion are at the center of an unfolding controversy over his views on birth control. mary snow is looking into that for us. >> reporter: an interview that rick santorum did six years ago has resurfaced. his comments

born attacked intellectuals like john dewey and herbert crowley, the godfather of new nationalism. he attacked them as being immersed in what he called pragmatic dispensation. that made them, he said, immensely ready for the executive order, but pitifully unprepared for the intellectual interpretation or idealistic focus. now, had he been around in 2009, born might have flagged a similar criticism against president obama's dogged but rhetorically empty leadership in the fight over national health reform. a battle he rightfully pointed out began with the progressive party campaign. he tended in his fight for health care reform, the president tended to spew exalted moral principles. for example, the claim of t.r. that health care was a human right, not a privilege, or dubious promises of greater efficiency and cost cutting. the highest rhetorical and programatic aspiration of the health care fight was the public option. you couldn't come up with a worse term, it seemed to me. my colleague, jacob hacker, came up with that term. it testifies, i think, to contemporary progressive rhetor

you saw the interview with cany crowley. they have decided not to do that. it raises the question whether or not they can continue to do that going forward with the fact that so many women voters have turned their backs on newt gingrich in this state. >> no doubt he's continuing, at least for now. 46 states to go. and there's no indication whatsoever that the setback in florida is going to cause him to rethink that strategy. >> that's right, wolf. you saw jason chavis as the young brash lawmaker who might have been by gingrich's side in the '90s. in 2012, more of a thorn in his side. he supports romney. he joins us now. a big win for your team tonight, for governor romney tonight. why do you think your governor, why doyou think governor romney was able to make up some of the deficit he had among evangelicals, among tea party supporters? >> i'm as tea party as it gets. i was ranked the second most conservative member in the house. i'm not conceding the conservative base to newt gingrich. to the contrary, the base of the party, the tea party activists want som

here now to analyze monica crowley and alan colmes. colmes, harsh reality on your side. >> here is what the president has got to do got to get out there and explain. >> bill: got to get out there. hasn't he within out there three years. >> during the bulk of the campaign. >> bill: going to be different than him being president and campaign. >> punctuate, mr. o'reilly. explain how he did. >> bill: three years he hasn't been able to explain it.

candy crowley takes a look. >> hey, fred.x, a look at the slap stick side of the campaign trail. it's not new, but it's the first sighting of this election. grown men in chicken suits wandering through a gingrich's event, his way of pecking at his rivals for backing out of a debate. there's this official campaign ad featuring a mitt romney look a-like though it struck more a mix of buchanan. he roamed the warehouse with a machine gun with the ad title "rombo." last year rick santorum send happy pizzas to the headquarters as a nice gesture. he told voters he once painted help on the shoes of a groom and then there's the three stooges side of him. a lot closer. what was that? >> i'm thrilled to let people also know the other side of mitt which you might not all get to see. oh, dear. >> afarjtsly a funny bone runs in the family. son matt called dad the day before the 2008 michigan primary posing as then call governor arnold schwarzenegger. >> they're going ask you a bunch of questions that you're going to answer immediately. >>

we will deal with that in a moment with crowley and colmes there no question that the senator's straight talk on moral issues has made him a viable candidate for conservative americans. so it's to santorum's benefit in the primaries to play the judgmental card. but, of course, that will be used against him in the general election. finally, according to rasmussen in head-to-head matchups president obama defeats mitt romney 45-43. that's a virtual tie considering the margin of error. that is the memo. now for the top story tonight. bring in fox news political analyst karl rove who is in austin, texas this evening. do you believe gingrich and santorum are going to gang up on mitt romney tomorrow night, mr. rove. >> not if they want to win the east coast. if this is an east coast in which santorum and gingrich come out throwing hay makers at romney it, makes the evening more out of control, it gives them less control over the outcome, and keeps them from achieving what they both need to do, which has more to do with each other, with santorum and gingrich than what the two of them beating up
