david koch admits that now. he said this: >> i love that quote because it's basically him saying we know how to do this, man we've been doing this for years. we tell the politicians what they do, they do it and during his recall effort, they're pouring in a ton of money to help them. we know how this game works, we know how to trick the american people, you buy the politicians and spend money on ads tricking people. the second part of the quote is: they've spent more and more throughout this whole campaign whether generally against president obama, scott walk irin wisconsin, this is what they do in order to protect their money. how are they doing it with mitt romney? first of all do you know mitt romney has attended three different koch events in this campaign alone? he easy doing one tomorrow put together by americans for prosperity, a koch-funded group. he went to defend the american dream in november, 2011 and he had labor day speech in 2011 also funded by the koch brothers. this guy is supposed to be running

and by the way the people who are behind this obama hate machine charles and david koch they are the uniquely or almost no but no but they're the principal players they we know we know warren buffett we know bill gates right who knows the third and fourth wealthiest men in america with a combined wealth of fifty billion dollars charles and david koch you know we don't hear about that they have given more money to politics than anybody else george soros is a penny pincher compared to these guys and they are everywhere tom the obama hate machine the koch brothers the heritage foundation koch brothers cato institute the koch brothers the tea party who put the money up for the buses for the rallies the koch brothers freedom works dick armey is operation the koch brothers americans for prosperity the koch brothers two weeks ago they had a meeting in palm springs with their corporate buddies and they pledged one hundred million dollars. to defeat barack obama this year and that's just one meeting the have another meeting in the fall so these guys are have your scott walker in wisconsin the

said about union bashing, this is a quote from david koch. he says what scott walker is doing with the public unions in wisconsin is critically important. he's an impressive guy and he's very courageous. if the unions win the recall, there will be no stopping union power. so in many ways, as i said earlier, there's a lot of national implications to this because the reverse is true if the recall is not successful and particularly due to money, they will then feel that any governor can come in with a very blatant, aggressive anti-union stand and not have to be held accountable and this will spread like wildfire all over the country. >> well, that may be what they believe. look. the koch brothers, i know they are getting on a bit. i don't know what era they think they're in when they think that public sector unions somehow have the stranglehold on this country. if they want to bank roll every unpopular governor in this country whopts to take this on, then they're going to find their pockets pretty empty pretty quickly. you have to find a number

i'm less intrigued by scott walker, more intrigued by david koch. >> we got a taste of why the david t give a lot of interviews. he led a reporter in to try to talk to her about all his cancer donations and she got him saying that the walker recall was all about koch and walker trying to stop union power. >> are they regretting the move they made in taking on the unions in wisconsin and the larger ramifications of this action? >> well, scott walker and david koch got something they've dreamed about for a long time. it depends on what happens in the recall. >> that might prove they've gotten more than they will bargained for if the recall works against them. >> exactly. one side or the other will be emboldened. >> great having you on. a deadly coast guard helicopter crash in alabama tops our stories today. officials say one crew member killed and three others sill missing after the helicopter crashed into mobile bay last evening. it happened during a training mission. divers have been searching the sunken wreckage for those missing crew members. the cause still under investigation. >>>

last time i checked, david koch doesn't live in wisconsin, governor.ou really think you could distract us from out of state money that's bankrolling your campaign? nice try, governor. but we got you. nyquil doesn't un-stuff your nose. really? [ male announcer ] alka-seltzer plus liquid gels fights your worst cold symptoms, plus it relieves your stuffy nose. [ deep breath ] thank you! that's the cold truth! prego?! but i've been buying ragu for years. [ thinking ] i wonder what other questionable choices i've made? [ club scene music ] [ sigh of relief ] [ male announcer ] choose taste. choose prego. [ kareem ] i was fascinated by balsa wood airplanes since i was a kid. [ mike ] i always wondered how did an airplane get in the air. at ge aviation, we build jet engines. we lift people up off the ground to 35 thousand feet. these engines are built by hand with very precise assembly techniques. [ mike ] it's going to fly people around the world. safely and better than it's ever done before. it would be a real treat to hear this monster fire up. [ jaronda ]

charles and david koch, the koch brothers are the most powerful political force in this country todayhost: bill press, the author of his latest book. "the obama hate machine, the lies, distortions and personal attacks on the president and who is behind him." thanks for being with us. we're going to take a short tomorrow on washington journal, the congressional budget office. and kathleen kennedy townsend talks about the obama administration's or control policy. and michael jacobson discusses a new state corrections department and the cost of incarceration. "newsmakers -- ""washington journal," live on c-span. john cornyn's remarks are about 15 minutes. >> thank you very much. i am glad to see so many texans and other great americans here today. it is great to be with you. i want to start by thanking my friend and our friends at the american conservative union for hosting us. i want to thank all of you who are involved with cpac for what you do all year round. i will be brief. i am one of the last speakers standing between you and sarah palin. i want to talk about someone who enjoys hi

is the koch brothers held their annual retreat that they have in california and this time they reportedly raise one hundred and mill hundred million dollars just to be obama and they say that david and charles koch themselves that sixty million dollars into this i mean that is a whopping amount of money but i wonder if you think that this is part of what's wrong with the g.o.p. right now right there facing a crisis of leadership they don't have any really good options that voters seem to like in terms of countering the president and so are they just throwing as much money as they possibly can to you know to see what sticks and this is what the koch brothers are doing for years you know particularly since president obama took office is they've they've been dumping money particularly and outside good for other candidates to sort of tear one candidate down rather than sort of support candidates and sort of show the positive part of their message i mean there are only two hundred fifty to three hundred donors at that conference and they pledged one hundred million dollars so you can do the math and see how much money people are pledging even if you take into account that charles and

charles and david koch, prominent billionaires are now stand accused of selling bill am ons -- millions of dollars of goods and products to iran, our standing enemy. >> stop! stop it! >> they have successful private companies in the world. it's an accusation. by the way, the right wing koch brothers, give you the left wing counterpart, george soros. there is an upstanding gentleman. he bet against the degree currency. made a billion dollars. bet against the u.s. economy. made a billion dollars. he's turning billions -- >> he didn't trade with iran. >> but he did get accused of of insider trader. they do it legally. >> i'm not so sure that's right. >> president obama is not talk being the accusations regarding selling anything to iran. that's not why president obama is saying they're attacking him. millionaires and billionaires, these are the people that president obama decided to target. but these particular billionaires seem to stand apart from others, like he loves warren buffet. he's introduced a whole new tax on the american people called the buffet rule. so there are some billionai

there are plenty republicans who are all about sexual freedom just ask newt and the very very ugly david koch koch one half of the gruesome twosome known as the koch brothers was interviewed by the palm beach post of the week in need of yuko openly flaunted he and his brothers willingness and overall. ability to basically purchase public opinion and even elections when asked about his fiscal efforts to help wisconsin governor scott walker avoid recall. or help him as we should get pretty good at this over the years we spent a lot of money was causing we're going to spend more. actually agree with coke they have gotten pretty good point money into the political arena over the years of destroying the public power of the people in our democracy the incredible candor with which koch speaks about his plans to interfere with our democratic government frankly in my opinion has no place in our society and is very weary of. corporate america has us hooked on meth. right now in small towns across america the working poor who've been hit hardest by the second republican great depression are turning to m

this is precisely what happened to charles and david koch, even though they are private citizens ander is a candidate for the president's or anyone else's office. joining me is stu varney. host of varney & company. this is not the first time we have seen the administration or democrats take direct aim at private citizens. >> i call this a disturbing tactic emerging in the president's re-election campaign. it is a campaign of intimidation, bullying and demon nicing private sector individuals because of their political views and their opposition to the president's political policies. for example, the coch brothers feel they are being singled out. remember when congressman waxman demanded their appearance before congress to answer questions about the keystone pipeline. megyn: just last week. >> we spoke about it last week. the coch brothers have no connection, they deny any connection to the keystone pipeline. they feel they are being singled out. megyn: we talked last week about who cares if they do have an interest. they don't, but who cares if they do. why would you be subpoenaing or

charles and david koch are firing back at the president over a fundraising letter that specifically attacks them. the letter went out to supporters of president obama on friday. it's from his campaign manager, jim me seen that. it states, quote, those are the same koch brothers whose business model is to make millions by jacking up prices at the pump and who have bankrolled tea party extremism and committed 200 million to try to destroy president obama before election day. now some are questioning the president's decision to target private citizens who are opposed to his re-election. joining me now, laura ingraham, radio talk show host and fox news contributor. laura, the koch brothers have taken it for a now, since the 2010 elections at least the president and his team have been going after them, and now they had their lawyer write a letter a couple weeks ago, now they personally are writing to the president saying, knock it off. >> yeah. ted olson who wrote the letter on behalf of the koch brothers pointed out, look, we used to talk about the enemies' list, how disturbing that is in a rep

you mentioned this in the last segment with david bossie. the kochrothers have built with the single purpose of taking down president obama. and they have done it with think tanks and universities -- they are everywhere. they are the state and federal level. and they got their corporate bodies together are in palm springs to raise $100 million -- but the corporate bodies together in palm springs to raise $100 million to take down president obama. host: in a previous publishing usyou said -- guest: we always thought growing up it will be difficult for an african-american or a woman to get elected because of the residual racism in this country. and it is just the opposite. it is impossible for them not to get elected because we have so much white guilt. president bush called obama -- not a jerk. he is one of the biggest name callers against president obama. on the radio he called him a jackass. but as you know, he has been called marxes, fascist ahman comet -- fascist, communists, liar, a trader, terrorists. it has nothing to do with his policies. if y
