but i wouldn't count elizabeth warren out. >> all right.tie's next possible gop opponent in the poll scores significantly lower than him. they are the two closest to chris christie in the overall poll, but when you just ask republicans, and only republicans, the equation changes completely. chris christie goes from number 1 to number 8. so you see, and that's a different poll, you got -- the unpopular ones. show me b-6 here at the end. then all of a sudden paul ryan wins at 68.7, and then a whole bunch of other folks. and that goes to the polarization. republicans are like, no, chris christie is the most moderate. >> one thing did it to him. which a lot of conservatives -- when he went near obama after hurricane sandy, people said what is he doing? and that's what is going to come back to him. pictures on campaign ads against him in primaries. it will be flooded. now for clear minded people they would go that sounds like a normal person to me. but not for a certain segment of our voting population. >> that's interesting, because when you lo

i want to get there with elizabeth warren. >> stephen: everybody wants to get there with elizabeth warrens and applause) >> i just want to make sure that kids get the health they need to get to college. >> stephen: you're running against newark mayor corey booker. >> or he's running against me. >> stephen: if cory booker is elect head would be the first black senator from new jersey. tell the people of new jersey right now why you think it's a bad idea to elect the first black senator from new jersey. (laughter) why is that so important to you to stop that? >> you know, race is something that is losing its meaning. when you realize that most people in america are of mixed heritage --. >> stephen: all right. you were on "jeopardy" -- let me rephrase that. this man has five wins on "jeopardy" and even beat the i.b.m. supercomputer wattson. >> who is rush holt? >> stephen: that's what we're trying to find out. if you don't know, how can your constituents know? (laughter) >> i follow the facts wherever they lead and develop -- develop policies. and put those out clearly and i think courageous

you mentioned a few of them, that you can easily leave off the list, elizabeth warren. >> elizabeth warrenill: dianne feinstein. >> i think we should give elizabeth warren the chance to do what she has ru ran on for senate. she does have national appeal. >> bill: and by 2016 she will have been in the senate longer than barack obama. >> that's true. >> bill: i want to ask you about another woman who is getting a lot of attention lately, that is wendy davis in texas. >> yes. >> bill: what is she going to run for? >> she has said she's either going to run for re-election in her state senate seat, and keep in behind texas is so jerr gerrymandering post redistricting. wendy davis holds one of the only swing seats. there are two swing seats in all of texas, and she holds one of them. she's re-elected to a swing seat in a red state, that would be fabulous. she's going to run for re-election there or run for governor. the way she has energized the country is phenomenal. i got to see her speech in d.c. last week, and her personal story is just so compelling. young single mother, put herself through

risky mortgages they securitized well this year the joke is that you've got so mike senator elizabeth. warren he wants to bring in glass steagall reintroduced glass steagall going back to the reforms of f.d.r. after the last crash or the biggest crash of twenty nine meanwhile on wall street they're working to reduce the requirements for capital on their balance sheets are looking to increase their loan to reserve ratios they're constantly nibbling on the edges to completely transform the system so that there is more speculation less equity and then elizabeth warren is trotted out saying well we're going to bring back glass steagall maybe that's never going to happen and if it does it'll have been mitigated into total ineffectiveness by the all these other married of policies engineered by bankers for bankers at the expense of everyone else well it's even more than that because this is the fraud these are the collateralized debt obligations what they're saying is they should be able to package those more because right now they can't they can't push fraud on to the pension schemes and therefore

from arizona to illinois have expressed interest in this school of thought democratic senator elizabeth warren led the charge but has so far has little success on a federal. love all so well these states actually have what it takes to hold congress this feet to the fire and finally to mount demand accountability for the greed of big banks while bob inglis from a prime interest team is here to weigh in bob matter how much for coming over to this side of the studio. let's start off with will these resolutions on a state level really accomplish anything well the short answer is no basically this is a grassroots movement elizabeth warren has been leading the charge to break up these big banks however the states don't have the authority to force the feds to do anything so basically this is kind of like signing a petition and even if enough people get involved if enough people call their congressmen then something can happen but this has to come from a federal level not a state level interesting so realistically do they have a fighting chance well again the short answer is no because it's going to t

a lot of people would love to see elizabeth warren, but i don't know that she's considered too left.think it's considered too early in her career, and i don't get the sense that, look, she'll be in that seat for many years if she wants, elizabeth warren, and she's doing a lot of things in the senate all right. so i don't know--i don't know who that person on the left is at this point. >> john: folks, i just want to say we are, of course, winding up current tv, and it's very sad. of course, al gore intended this to be an independent liberal news channel. i'll let people debate how successful because. i think a lot of good programming happened. i thank each one of you for being part of this experiment and for being part of this show when i got to gig. i intended to surround myself with people who are smarter than me, and i thank you for being part of that. >> i don't think any of us would agree that we were better on tv than you. >> john. >> john: a present? >> i got you this because there is nobody who deserves this more than you. >> john: you brought me a gift? oh, no way. >> yes. >>

the top three most favorably viewed politicians in the country are elizabeth warren, hillary clintonnd chris christie. and chris christie is first. his favorables right now are even higher than hillary clinton's are. but apparently he's still scared, and so we have to have this primary today so we can have a senate election in october on a wednesday so that chris christie can have his own private election with no pesky nationally popular democrat elsewhere on the ballot harshing on his very, very insecure mellow. wow. it is a $12 million chicken move and a weird one for the state of new jersey, but that is what chris christie did. and meanwhile, as governor of new jersey, chris christie has this issue staring him right in the face right now or at least waiting for him at his desk. this is, i want to show you this for comparison purposes. this is the size of a -- do we have this up here? yeah. this is the size of a .22 caliber bullet and next to it you see the size of the kind of bullet fired by an al-15 assault rifles. ar-15s can be chambered for a couple different kinds of bullets.

course, senator from minnesota and one of the more interesting possibilities i heard is senator elizabeth warrens discussion that even if hillary does run, the democratic party will see a candidate from the left and elizabeth warren would be a candidate that would appeal to that segment of the party. not to say she would step up and run against hillary if hillary does run but there could be conflict there and some real excitement for warren among those democratic base voters. >> at des moines just a few years too early but right on the story. it really is remarkable. thank you. thank you very much for being there. >>> and they are instant millionaires but a group of co-workers in new jersey who bought one of three winning powerball tickets still showed up for work yesterday after winning their share of the $448 million prize. local officials say the 16 ocean county highway workers are from toms river hit hard by superstorm sandy last year. in minnesota, paul white came forward. a father of two accepting his big check yesterday and said that winning the lottery was always part of his life plan. >

on the question of populist economics and regulating the banks by elizabeth warren, as you mentioned. no, i don't think the conversation includes him in a serious way. rand paul standing for a sometimes hypocritical libertarian wing. chris christie clearly having a big personality. i don't think brown is a big figure here. >> richard wolffe, it seems that chris christie may have already tactically decided that the paul family is condemned in republican presidential primaries to getting something like 8% of the delegates at most by kind of hanging in there and never actually winning a state but amassing a few delegates here and there. and chris christie seems to my that rand paul might be useful as someone he can play off of to show himself to be the reasonable man in the republican field. >> yeah, he might have gone through some rational tactical strategic decisions or he might have just been popping off buzz he feels like it. >> there's always that. >> i don't know how you can read that as a strategy other than the guy tacks one way one week and then he's in another one the next week

senators elizabeth warren and john mccain are leading the charge to re- instate a section of the glass- steagall act that would seperate traditional banking from investment banking..politico reports lawmakers in at least 18 states have introduced legislation calling on congress to break up the banking business.some members of the tea party don't want government involved with bank rules. citigroup is scaling back. the bank is reportedly backing off from alternative investments that have, according to the wall street journal "caused regulatory and financial headaches for the bank."the pressure is on for banks to exit hedge funds and private equity -- under dodd frank regulation. citi is the latest bank to scale back on the investments. jpmorgan made a similar move last month. discover is offering more than credit cards... this week the company moved intoome equity loans. discover estimates 80% of its customers are home owners. and wants to compete against quicken loans. discover will offer home equity loans up to $100,000. fixed rates will range from 5.99% to 11.99%. during the financial

massachusetts senator elizabeth warren is reportedly worth 3.9 million. signing up for your company's 401k plan is a quick way to build up your own portfolio.but a new survey shows americans are feeling confused and overwhelmed by the process.we have dave gray-- head of the 401k client experience at charles schwab on the line with us this morning.good morning.why are americans feeling so much angst about their 401k accounts? > >i can understand that because if you are uncertain as to how to invest and yet you know that this is your largest or primary source of retirement income it certainly makes sense that it would cause some stress. one of the key things we found in a survey is that americans are really accepting responsibility for their retirement future but the key item here as well is that they're uncertain how to make the most of it. retirement plans are often more confusing to individuals than health care benefits. and i think what that comes down to is that folks really just need help in their 401k to invest better. > >what are some of the best wa

elizabeth warren, do you want her to run for president? >> it could be elizabeth warren. think she's thinking about that right now but she's a game-changer. somebody needs to champion these issues and it could be anybody. >> and so, marjorie, i mean, full disclosure, we're talking about your in-law here but what do you make of the hillary talk at this point? >> i think she means what she says and says what she means. i think she's looking at it and she's not sure right now. i think she's going to do what she does best. she's very deliberative, thoughtful. i do think that it's pretty exciting that the democrats have a great bench. and the republicans don't. but everyone is waiting to see what hillary is going to do. >> i want to ask a question about the bench, because i'm not -- i'm wondering, jim, i wonder if this is what some of the enthusiasm for hillary is about. we can talk about -- other factors that go into it, but the democratic bench f it's not hillary i guess the front-runner is joe biden. if it's not joe biden, is it andrew cuomo, martin o'malley? i'm not sure t

elizabeth warren, now a u.s.m massachusetts is talking about reinstituting glass-steagall that separates the commercial bank from the up investment bank. kind of interesting. i talked to dick bove, the analyst, used to be rochdale securities. where is he now? raferty. i keep getting rochdale mixed up with raferty. pretty astute observer of big banks. we had a conversation with him. he will be on the program later around 3:15. he basically says this, he believes regulators are out there actively pursuing a break up the banks strategy. how are they doing it? they are essentially doing it by hitting banks with much higher capital requirements. which is essentially having the effect of forcing them to get out of certain business. it is pretty interesting. not a direct assault that elizabeth warren is calling for, but what dick bove is telling the fox business network it's a back door effort to go in there and break up jpmorgan, break up bank of america and break up citigroup, force them to become much more smaller un

. >> we need more elizabeth warren. that's why it's not quotas or not some kind of pc thing it's let's get these guys who have had hammer lock on power and trashed our economy. >> one last thing, obama in december, january of this year the "new york times" ran a piece in the oval office when he had all congressional, top congressional advisors in the oval office was obviously late night or weekend all in jeans and casual outfits, there were ten guys all you could see was domestic advisor valerie jarret's leg behind the guys. he was drawn, because that have freethrow toe he was drawn in to the argument said, wait, wait until i've done all my appointments you haven't seen it yet. blah, blah, blah. and really since then has he made up for it. >> no. >> i think the point that the clinton administering really gave him this bench to work with is really the relevant point. because there is this incredible pool of talent there and, yes, it's true, judicial appointments are looking better and there's some kind of second tier of

> but the point is this is the thing i believe that most people kind of got the attention of elizabeth warren, now the new senator from massachusetts, this was her baby. this is a young agency, right? >> yes, it's. >> what does it do? >> it's barely two years old. well the mission of the consumer financial protection bureau is to make sure that the financial markets are open and they're accessible to every american. that there's competition that provides for good nooses at fire prices, and so that's the broader mission of the consumer financial protection bureau. we call it the cfpb. and, but within that office, within that bureau, there are several offices some of which represent particular parts of the population. we have service members office, we have an office of students, stents have lot of financial debt they're trying to make decisions as to where they go to school and how they can afford it. we have an office of empowerment for those who maybe have less resources, but still need to use the financial markets that we have. and then there's the office of older americans, and that, that

we're obviously elizabeth warren fans as well. going down. that's what's like -- when the republicans keep screaming about the deficit, you're like that is untrue. going down and down and down. >> hal: it was on two days ago talking about it. >> stephanie: they're main talking point is -- it says uber liberals like cuomo and warren will find it easier to offer big ambitious spending proposals and budget balancing may be less in demand. he finishes by saying in 2016, hillary's left wing challenger may prove stronger if her name is elizabeth warren. then again, hill i have a better politician than gore. they're talking about the whole gore bradley thing. then again, hill i have a better politician than gore with a more loyal team. at this ridiculously early juncture, it seems like hillary would be able to ride out her party's lurch to the left. more dangerous would be to force her into an election against chris christie. somebody said if ted cruz is the nominee, hillary carries georgia. of. [ laughter ] >> hal: that's absolutely tru

senator amy klobuchar, elizabeth warren, wendy davis in texas. of names thrown out yesterday. >> a want to thank kasie hunt reporting live from ames, iowa. thanks for joining ut. i am really jealous of kasie. i've never attended the iowa state fair. we said fried butter. the massachusetts state fair does not compare to the kind of food you can get up there. i'm jealous she's getting to sample that this weekend. let's talk about the republican race taking shape here. it's a lot more active than what's happening on the democratic side. in particular, ted cruz is going to be at this event in iowa today. the head of the group family leader that runs this, bob vannederplats. his claim to fame he was with mike huck key and he won the state. he was with rick santorum who won the state. 60% will be evangelical christians. this is ground zero for evangelical christians in iowa. he said about ted cruz, he's never seen anything like it before, like the appeal of ted cruz. i'm wondering what you make of the phenomenon, perry. >> i'm not surprised by it. one

martin o'malley made noise he's interested, joe biden, and kristen gillibrand, elizabeth warren, a lotf buzz, and governor cuomo from new york. a lot of talk. and let me not forgot joe biden. he will call me this afternoon and remind me. it's too early to handicap the race, if hillary clinton gets into the race, there will be a coronation of her because there are so many democrats who last time around supported her, who i think are anxious to see her out there again. >> i read your brother, mayor of san antonio, heading to iowa as well. you accompanying him? >> he's not running for anything. he's headed out to the harkin steak fry in september. >> a lot of tilling of the ground. let me bring this back to you, congressman, because it seems there's a brewing potential civil war inside the republican party. you heard sarah palin last night said she was on the team of rand paul versus chris christie. >> there's a lot of competition out there. with regard to the democratic side, i seem to remember in 2007, this was hillary's nomination. obama may run just to be ready in 2016. the point bein

if you look at elizabeth warren, a star, a political celebrity as well.ear, al franken, when he came in, same thing. he still doesn't talk to national media types, only locals. so i kind of thing that cory booker is not going to follow that path, because he has been very successful on the path that he has chosen. >> bill: mitch mcconnell surprised some people yesterday by what he said on the efforts of ted cruz to defund obamacare. >> yeah. >> matt bevin, who has been pretty good out of the gate, challenging mcconnell, and mcconnell now saying, listen, if you defund obamacare, you are not really defunding obamacare, because the obama administration has enough area to spend in other areas, and that's backed up by a congressional research service report. however, that's washington speak. >> bill: sure. >> so matt bevin if mcconnell continues to go this way -- he dodged the question before they left town, and now he is basically on the side of john mccain. that's going to give bevin a big issue. >> bill: and he is also on the side of karl rove. so it is sort

charles: elizabeth warren climbing. chris christie at the top of the list.ot last week about the feud, war of words. >> chris christie represents a different vision of the government from mrs. clinton. no surprise that those who are reacting to the malaise we are in now, the economic malaise, security malays, the police state malaise, everything going on in the country that is upsetting people on the more conservative side are naturally going to gravitate to the person they feel will get the most votes and right now that is chris christie. charles: interesting to hear you say that. sees it is the exact opposite of hillary clinton. judge napolitano: there are more precise opposite us, i happen to think he and secretary clinton, by the most recent title, would agree on a lot of things but i do think that he can present the image of lot of republicans have been looking for. conservative, putting a fire on the people's belly expanding states that republicans don't usually win. charles: here's the dilemma. he might do that in a general election but can he make it

rhyme way says why not elizabeth warren. absolutely! why not elizabeth warren.n food stamps, farmers grow food, food stamps, farm subsidies, people on food stamp buy is food. it all fits together.

talking about 2016 and got rave reviews and the left is even buzzing about massachusetts senator elizabeth warren. they are all getting noticed because clinton has hit a rough patch. >> bill: i don't understand what the rough patch is she is out in the hamptons now staying at $100,000 rental for a month. what's a rough patch? diane lane is going to play her in some zombie movie or something. i don't quite understand. >> just yesterday, bill, the successor at the secretary of state john kerry essentially gave a clear and free pass to four mid level state department staffers that hillary clinton that raises big questions about clinton's judgment. if four people who weren't really deserving of discipline got disciplined by her before she left the state department. where is the accountability? >> this is small ball stuff. look, here is the bottom line on hillary clinton. going it raise $200 million like that. all right? she is going to have obama supporting her. the machine will support her. the war on women, i would assume all the women who think we're in a war on them will support her. i don't know

perhaps the most buzz on the far left is about massachusetts senator elizabeth warren being includedme 2016 polls and liberal bloggers and columnists are talking her up. whether benghazi, her husband, their past or present controversies including the new york city mayoral race and anthony weiner married to clinton's top aide, democrats are taking pause realizing that mr. clinton is not their only option. >> all right. thank you. again, a long way to go. >>> don't let the weekend go by without signing up for the brand new fox news first. it's our free daily politics letter. if you haven't done so, do so now. just go to foxnews.com/foxnewsfirst. we'll put it in your e-mail and your inbox first thing monday morning. >>> we're moments away from your chance to participate in our upcoming panel segments. the pulse lets you talk back to the news in realtime here on friday nights. here's how. go to bing.com/politics on your computer or handheld device. 55% were on handheld devices. you select your political affiliation and gender. vote early and often. every five seconds if you would like. l

. >> she feels like a little bit of the elizabeth warren cloth from which she is cut.hat's precisely -- like, as much as a president is standing up for summers now, the not doing that around elizabeth warren, and i think, again, there's inside stories around that, but it makes me nervous that there won't be a yellen appointment here. >> we don't know exactly, but indications are that he really, really likes summers for all those reasons. but congress also really like ben bernanke for a long time. it's not exactly the best relationship now, but that's important. and larry summers doesn't have the best relationship with congress right now. during the economic crisis, there were a lot of stories about, he had these competing philosophies that he's pushing within the white house. this is a very independent job. you're not sitting in the white house meetings and doing what the president tells you to do or implementing his policies, per se. it's a really different role, and it will raise his stature if there continue to be these public fights about it. >> i've got to tell yo

you think about senator elizabeth warren and that wing of progressives and how they view monetary policythink there is an internal fight here politically and economically that will weigh on this choice. >> samantha power, sworn in today by joe biden. there was a white house photo. no other coverage. but samantha power is the new united nations ambassador. her husband was an administration official standing there holding the bible. irish born. she was pulitzer prize winner and this is going to be a very different kind of u.n. ambassador. >> yeah. interventionist as well as we've seen back in the libya debate, with susan rice now as national security advisor. they are also going to have to get to work on how they deal with russia. >> thank you so very much, david gregory. and see you on sunday. >>> and we'll be right back. , they don't throw out as much pollution to the earth. so i feel good. i feel like i'm doing my part to help out the environment. >>> so what is behind the extraordinary measures taken to protect american diplomatic posts this weekend? joining me now is dan benjamin, for

. >> elizabeth warren or ted cruz now. you want to get your like-minded folks. you form a super pac. maybe during an election year. the super pac does allow you to -- the candidate themselves can raise money for that super pac from big donors. that money can be spent on limited amounts. >> made clear that members of congress can raise money. hard dollar funds only. for super pacs. the super pacs have to spend money independent of that candidate. the contribution limit, $2,600 per election, relatively low. $5,000 per year can be given to the leadership pac. that means $30,000 over a six-year period. >> yet for that same cycle, you can only give $5,200 both primary and general for the two. what's that limit again? >> no limit at all, which is the best limit possible. >> at this point, you have the limited amount of regulating you can do. what would you want to see? >> the law was passed in 2002. a lot of interesting proposals there. it was a major piece of legislation. but with the one area that both the democrats and republicans agreed on in that legislation, don

martin oh maly made noise he's interested, joe biden, and kristen gillibrand, elizabeth warren, a lotf buzz, and governor cuomo from new york. and joe biden, he will call me this afternoon and remind me. it's too early to handicap the race, if hillary clinton gets into the race, there will be a coronation of her because there are so many democrats who last time around supported her, who i think are anxious to see her out there again p. >> i read your brother heading to iowa as well. you accompanying him? >> he's not running for anything. he's headed out to the harkin steak fry in september. >> let me bring this back to you, because it seems there's a brewing potential civil war inside the republican party. sara palin last night said she was on team rand paul versus chris christie. >> there's a lot of competition out there. with regard to the democratic side, i seem to remember in 2007, this was hillary's nomination. obama may run just to be ready in 2016. the point being you never know. i think that'srue where we are with the republicans. i don't think you could say. i would never hav
