. >> david stockman had a fascinating and i thought powerfulop-ed. he was the true fiscal conservative in the reagan era. he is looking at the entire shared right now saying you guys are jokers not libertarians, not fiscal conservatives. there is this fundamental tension within the republican party, corporatists who bow down todd to the needs of wall street and big banks and corporate entities versus those who actually have a core conservative ideology and david stockman called out paul ryan and mitt romney saying you guys are jokers. >> well in fact i think paul ryan is actually more of a corporatist than mitt romney. mitt romney came out of the obviously the vulture capitalist world and that's a big part of who he is. but the truth of the matter is that if you look at ryan ryan is willing to, you know, really shape any principle, to go the way that corporate lobbyists ask. in fact, the interesting thing is that he is referred to as this bold courageous thinker as regards budget issues but there is always an asterisk, and that asterisk is that he is

. >> the "new york times" reports congressman paul ryan's plan was blasted by david stockman, a budgetctor for ronald reagan. he said mr. ryan's plan is devoid of credible math or hard policy choices and it couldn't pass if republicans were to take the presidency and both houses of congress. the republican national committee said marco rubio of florida will get a spotlight role of the gop convention introducing mitt romney to accept the nomination. former first daughter chelsea clinton told vote magazine she is not ruling out a future in politics. she said i believe engaging in the political process is part of being a good person. >> white house aides confirmed that president obama is one of the first modern presidents to have a home brew. white house honey ale coming in a light and dark variety and the honey portion of the name is taken from first lady michelle obama's garde beehive. that's your morning dish of scrambled politics. >> now here's the first look at how wall street will kickoff the day. the dow opens at 13,172 and the, and p was down a fraction and the nasdaq lost five. l

default and, of course, there is his own toxic budget which president reagan's budget advisor david stockman today called an empty conservative sermon and a fairy tale in "the new york times." nonetheless, 98%, 98% of all republicans in congress -- and that's all of these right here except for maybe those little ones right there, all of these republicans in congress voted for ryan's budget. and for its blueprint to turn medicare into a voucher system. all of them. and mitt romney, by picking ryan, he has effectively yoked himself, handcuffed himself to that toxic congress and ryan's radioactive budget. and it's not going well. today, on fox news paul ryan himself, he tried to am pew tate the toxic limb from his budget plan. >> the budget plan that you are now supporting would get to balance when? >> well, there are different -- the budget plan that mitt romney is supporting gets us downing to 20% of gdp government spending by 2016. >> i understand that. but your own budget that you -- >> the house bunt? >> the house beaumont. >> yeah. >> the house budget everyone's talking about the house bu

david stockman. >> that's right. really a tough editorial out today from "the new york times."ays, i mean, i think a larger question best a larger question republicans are having about paul ryan in general. about the fact that now mitt romney is going to be tied to this budget. the problem with staying in washington so long, he has been in washington since 1998, is that he has a paper trail. and as your previous guest -- talking about the stimulus program, they are going to pick over his record. some of the votes he's taken, t.a.r.p., voting for t.a.r.p., voting for the auto bailout, voting for unfunded war so that this idea that he is such a bold choice, i think, is really going to start to really be examined over these next days. not only by republicans but also democrats. >> now, brian, let me get back to you for a minute. in your article today, you also write about earmarks paul ryan got. in addition to appeals for stimulus funds, ryan also received congressional approval for $5.4 million in earmarks in 2008. earmarks, millions of dollars, for a deficit hawk? >> well, you k

host: on twitter -- david stockman, a familiar figure in republican party circles, served as a member of congress and budget director in the reagan administration, wrote this editorial for the new york times -- those are the comments of david stockman. now this point of view from a former bush speech writer in the washington post -- if you were asking a question of the presidential candidates, what would be. there is calling us from oregon. caller: which candidate is willing to admit that stealing america's buying power by moving manufacturing offshore does not actually ruin their chances of making a profit? america has always been the consumer the world. 75% of all consumable goods are bought by americans. the people overseas where they are moving manufacturing have totally different values than we do. so they are not going to spend money like americans. i am wondering who is willing to admit that by taking'away s buying they forestalled -- by taking away america's buying power they forcforestalled a renewal of the economy? host: tomorrow michelle obama will be joining the president

and david stockman saying that the entire budget plan is a phony. >> stephanie: yeah.r ] >> maybe that's all of those drug kingpins who don't want legalization. >> yeah because business would dry up. >> rick scott doesn't want medicare because there won't be anything to steal. >> stephanie: yeah. i love that you started every piece with you'll forgive us with starting every piece with zombie-eyed granny starvers. >> yeah, i just can't stop. >> stephanie: were you surprised surprised. >> i was. maybe i was overwhelmed by the previously boring mitt romney that was previously the governor, i thought as far afield as he may go kelly piaot. i do feel bad for tim pawlenty though, because if there is any one political figure who is in the pet carry ever on the roof of the station wagon it was tim pawlenty. a whole bunch of people with fried oreos on their breath got involved with paul ryan out at the state fair. but before the cops get there it's all about civility and how we should learn to talk to each other, and then the cops throw them on the ground and start hauling them
