george p. bush has his dad running against. hilary and elizabeth warren. together we will show hilary and elizabeth warren that they're in for one heck of a fight. that's how it is -- i didn't edit out her last name. like they're sisters or they're married. hilary warren and elizabeth warren. you know the warren twins. senator elizabeth warren of massachusetts has been saying she's not running for president. but the push for her to run has always been viewed as a left wing push. from the liberals that love her and some of that is definitely still going on. some of that had quite a resurgence recently but the i'm my own man bush family super pack, they're not liberals. they don't have the same interests or instincts but there's her name on their fund-raising pitch. it's clear. it's been clear for a long time that she isn't running for president but what is still really interesting and unanswered is why it is such a powerful idea to the left and to the right to pretty much everybody involved in national politics that she could conceivably run even though she

george custer. if you were around the civil war, you would have had two polarizing figures around the civil war. one general sheridan and the other is warren. warren finds himself being a democrat in a republican army. you can only imagine what he and winfield go through being supporters of general mcclellan. not a good place to be in when you're an officer in the army. that being said warren tends to not want to follow orders as grant gives them. warren tends to want to interpret orders to the benefit of his men only do what he thinks is going to preserve his fifth corps. that's not how grant wages warfare and it is certainly not how sheridan wages warfare. sheridan instantly balks knowing that some of these are warren's men. when sheridan is told that he has to use the fifth corps as his support led by general warren, that order is instantly followed up by general grant with if you have any problems with the corps commander relieve him of one of the division commanders which you would say pretty much puts the writing on the wall that warren is not going to make it through the battle. warren, as i kind of eluded to is late getting there t

democratic party that pushed george mcgovern front and center and drove the part to cas little bit mick defeat. >> you have right perspective but wrong candidate, i think warren could. neil: does warren join the race if bernie sanders does well? >> i don't think she ever joins the race. neil: really. >> i think she made a a -- with if i can't win it is not worth my time. it is expensive and time consuming, she seems so, i know a lot of candidates say i'm not running, with her i believe it. neil: do you think there is historic well -- a danger with her party that goes to their extreme. ever coming out and surviving that move to the extreme? >> would hillary clinton have to move to the extreme if bernie sanders ran. neil: she is. >> to the left? >> absolutely. >> i would argue. neil: well pacifying rebels in her party and keep mainstream happy. >> then again whoever the republican candidate is has to go to the right to win in places like iowa. neil: don't throw facts at me. >> just saying, if they move out, move to center, and then american ewell rat expects -- electorate expects it. neil: joe with his last appearance here at fox. >> it was fun. neil: you alway

warren is not allowed to discuss it. joe biden is not allowed to discussed it. george miller doesn't discuss it publicly. he put in a bill under our stress just for pro forma. never had a press conference. nancy pelosi doesn't discuss it. richard trumka of the afl doesn't discuss it. and the minimum wage today adjusted for inflation, as i mentioned, would put tens of billions of dollars at ten bucks an hour--tens of billions of dollars in people's hands to jump-start for the recessionary economy. biden could have skewered ryan, and he was muzzled because obama doesn't want to discuss this because he might be accused of being against small business, who he's given 18 tax breaks by his own admission on the first debate. 18 tax breaks, and 2/3 of all low-income workers are employed by 50 large corporations, like wal-mart and mcdonald's, whose ceos get an average of $10 million a year. and you think this was a slam dunk, but it isn't. so i think our presidential politics are rancid, repetitious, cowardly, and commercialized. so whoever wins, don't expect that much. >> ok. so...
