is anyone going to believe it when someone maxed out to the dnc and democrats says it. it matters. >> at an education event in washington today, the attorney general defended his team. >> they're neutral, they're detached. i don't see any basis for concluding otherwise. so unless i find a basis for reversing that view, i expect that they will do a complete and thorough job and at the appropriate time, we'll see the results of that vegdz. >> meanwhile, lois lerner the former irs official gave a lengthy interview to doj lawyers but has refused to answer questions in congressional hearings. >> my counsel has advised me and on his advice, i will decline to answer any question on the subject matter of this hearing. >> now darrell issa and subcommittee chair jim jordan sent this letter asking for details of the doj-lerner interview and requested all documents and communications related to it. gowdy said lerner is still in hot water with lawmakers. >> i think she's on a fast track to contempt of congress. i think she waived her fifth amendment privilege when she made 17 separa

it is not the dnc and rnc. it is something that is more empowering of individuals. people have better information. they don't rely on "the new york times" anymore. i know tea party moms in florida who have larger facebook pages than the local gop. think about the marginal cost of organizing and how that changes everything. i would also argue that those values are not far right. a lot of tea party years -- tea thaters are in growing class of independents that are fed up with party ship on both sides. >> you can say it is not a two-party system anymore, and that might be your future for the future, but it is a t -- it is a two-party system. democrats.rned by after the next election, we will be governed by democrats or republicans. ideological groups like the tea party, if they want to have an influence in governing, they will adhere themselves to one of those two parties. we will be governed by one of those two parties. if the tea party were to form a party of its own, it would be marginalized. it might get more support than the green party or the american socialist w

with an entry fee of $32,400 a head, the president will raise about $810,000 for the dnc at the firstord how many $32,000 tickets were sold for the second stop. undoubtedly, a pretty good haul until you factor in the $1.2 million the president's trip is costing. that includes the cost to operate air force one. $180,000 per hour for two hours. and how much past trips by the president have cost the city of new york and the authority. that does not include costs for operating marine one. how that tab is going to get paid is still in doubt tonight. >>> a new bizarre twist in the case of a mummified body found inside a michigan home. the detroit free press reports the woman who lived there is on record as having voted as recently as 2010, two years after she is believed to have died. a contractor found the body last week. 49-year-old tia who owned the house, had no close family and was known to travel frequently, so the fact she had not been seen since 2008 did not raise any suspicions. all her bills were deducted from her bank account. city officials say records of her voting in the 2010

> how do you explain it though, thinking nationally, outside of your district, when you talk to the dnc and to others looking at this campaign, it's pretty much assumed now that the democrats are not going to retake the house. you have to worry about losing the senate. >> i actually don't concede that either. because i do think there's a long time between now and november. i'm hopeful we'll pick up the 17 seats. what i would say to democrats running in areas where there has been an all-out effort to defeat or confuse people about the affordable care act, it's one thing for people to sign up, but there's lots of provisions of the affordable care act that are already in place. so preexisting conditions, caps, people being able to continue their children until their 26. i think it's our job and our responsibility to really educate people about the affordable care act and how it impacts their lives. we do have a job to do but i think it's achievable. >> now, the l.a. times pointed out that you've got this extraordinary number of undocumented and poor people who still will not have medical c

is this the best the dnc could do? a traffic jam? a lot of questions like that, suggesting this is a left wing attack and nothing compared to what they -- what some of our viewers say are real scandals like benghazi or operation fast and furious, or the irs targeting of the tea party. >> here is the connection. he doesn't control the irs. he doesn't control the cia and u.s. military. he controls new jersey. the idea is, if you would abused -- i said if. he would have abused his power in new jersey to do something like this, as president he might use his power otherwise. i have to say, what we have here from chris christie is a counteroffensive, not a comeback. he has finally gotten up off the mat and started to establish his own narrative about this thing, by the media and his enemies for the last three months t doesn't matter if this is a whitewash or not. it's his story now. he has an authority now that says he's clean. and can he push down until somebody else comes up with something else. >> internal investigation, he got what he

a rag tag handful of technology experts, including a google engineer, a rocket scientist and dnc tech hired to fix the site. >> we've got people working overtime, 24/7, to boost capacity and address the problems. >> their mission -- to save obamacare. >> those are the people they reached out to on beginning october the 18th or so and those are the people who rode in to the rescue. >> the group decamped to suburban d.c. and set the ground rules. rule number one, the war rules and meetings are for solving problems. rule number two, the ones who should be doing the talking are the ones who know the most about the issue, not the ones with the highest rank. rule number three, we need to stay focused on the most urgent issues, like things that will hurt us in the next 24 to 48 hours. then they got started, slowly working through the punch list, revolutionizing the entire site's functionality, sometimes searching for a single code out of millions. they were away from home, dealing with outages that left them unable to work for days. a project they thought would last days lasted nearly ten we

coming up -- >> what i think it is with the dnc, with others both in the state and across the country is they desperately want something negative to happen in wisconsin. the reality is we're going to stay focused on the things we were elected to do. >> staying focused on the things we were elected to do like, oh, i don't know, mocking welfare recipients when you're running for governor and then running the welfare program into the ground while you were governor? i'll explain, next. >>> we've been reporting on the massive amount of documents that have come out from the inner circle of wisconsin governor scott walker. the inheriter of gop establishment front runner mantle in the wake of new jersey governor chris christie's demise. the problem, as we've noted, is that walker's got his own baggage. now, we've been going through these e-mails and there have been some that suggest that walker knew more than he let on about the mixing of official governing and campaigning that some of his staff were convicted for because, well, it is illegal in wisconsin. but to my mind the most damning docu
