joining me now, a man who was a republican national finance chair under ronald reagan and george herbert walker bushow, as a garden state resident i said if this was a guy who would be on the fence as between governor christie and bush, that doesn't bode well for governor christie, does it? >> i think that many people who know the governor well also know governor bush well. i think there is a lot of overlap in the republican party. people have been involved for a long time with president bush. and with -- and with george w., and now with governor christie. and so on one level it is a blessing. we have competent, qualified people who may choose to run for president. i think that is an exciting thing, actually. >> it is my perception of you, as a guy who wants to win. i mean, really isn't that what a party is about? to win, not be an ideological vessel. i look at you as an old guard, the mainstream republican, that wants to wrestle control within the gop. am i overstating it? >> no, i don't think so, i think the simple truth is whether you're to the left of the spectrum or to the right of the spectrum

george herbert walker bush supported tax credit. they denied unemployment.enied teachers their tenure. in court. judges ruling against them. denied voting rights. this is extremist. in the history of republicanism and democrats, people have supported it. this is extremism at the core. they're running the most extreme state government in the country right now. >> reverend, when we look at some of the state polling. we see only about 28% of north carolinians do support this assembly. that's dropped a little bit do. you think the view that this is an extreme legislature is actually spreading? >> not only spreading. the government came out, one poll, 50%. one poll 30%. one poll had the legislature under 19%. and 54% to 56% of north carolinians, for instance, support medicaid expansion. when tom tillis and others say they're doing the will of the people that is not true. the fact of the matter is, they have sworn on the bible to uphold the constitution. to work for the good of the whole. to be care fall but the first duty which is to care for the poor. they are v

george herbert walker bush a perfect example, losing the texas senate race in 1970 and then moving into a series of appointments that led to the presidency. maybe alison lundergan grimes want to be appointed to an administration position but if she doesn't come out and condemn it in kentucky ken i think that race and effectively over. this also hurts begic in alaska and hurts landrieu in louisiana. it will be interesting to see how these democratic incumbents who are in tough races come out, mark pryor for example in arkansas as well. >> this is precisely why i'm so fascinated and so admire it. the politics just are bad. there's no point for someone like me who supports the policy to pretend otherwise. i do think, however, it's interesting the chamber's own analysis of the cost on this was so minuscule. i was actually myself expecting a bigger number and i wonder how much that can be communicated over the noise of war on coal, war on coal. >> look, there's a number of divergent economic estimates on this. cbo has a number. it's higher than the administration's number with economic impac

it was, remember, george herbert walker bush who really worked hard at planned pairptshood. that's -- parenthood. that's where republicans used to be. and we would come together. we would come together on protecting a woman's right to choose. planned parenthood -- there were more republicans in planned parenthood than democrats when i got started in politics. now the republicans want to run planned parenthood out. they want to shut down their clinics. stop all the good they're doing to prevent unwanted pregnancies. well, i called it a war on women. we saw it -- we saw it, people saying, well, maybe there is such a thing as legitimate rape. have you ever heard of anything so outrageous? and even when it comes to equal pay for equal work, we can't move it forward around here. so, yeah, i think this is part of the war on women, i'm sad to say today, this bill. clearly they're the ones who'll +sufrsuffer, along with their drssments yodoctors. you don't put women in grave danger. you don't accept in the middle of our families' most difficult decisions. americans want us to focus
