and that's why adelson sustained gingrich for a month but gingrich didn't win. and santorum had a billionaire behind him. gave him extra time on the trail but he didn't win. >> what happened to the old theory that it was in hill rip clinton's interest to not announce for a long time and freeze all the money so that nobody else could get at it. it would be waiting on the sidelines for her to get in? >> well, she has accomplished that task. she has no serious opponents against her right now. and i think that the mistakes that her campaign made last week with the e-mail controversy have been a wake-up call that she needs to get moving. >> and a lot of it doesn't have to do with money when it comes to hill rip clinton. it's just the elephant in the room. thank you, everybody. we're done here, but the conversation, as always, will continue online. join us on the "washington week" webcast extra where we'll talk about the sudden resignati of congressman aaron schock and how he got in trouble because of "downtown abbey." wasn't our fault. you can watch the webcast later

what was that period of time when you were newt gingrich's advisors?lot of people say he is a lot of energy. i was the chief architect of that agreement. i had spent 10 years of my life to get us to that went. i worked with a great team of people. we balance the budget. we got people to put aside personal ambition. -- we balanced the budget. the first balanced budget since man the moon. it was. by the way having some success. john: when you were in washington, before you went back to ohio, was this a high point in terms of achievement? >> you mean in terms of politics? that was the production of the b-2 timeframe. i went would say that was pretty good, but not as good as the fact that soon after that i married my wife. john: who was easier to work with newt gingrich or bill clinton? >> newt is my pal. mark: 1999. can you name everyone in that picture? >> lamar. elizabeth dole. howard keys. john: your opponent steve forbes. mark: what was the mine sent a 1999 john kasich? -- mindset? >> i thought i could win. i would run as hard as they could at the wal

we are joined by michael smerconish and newt gingrich the former speaker of the house and also a cnntributor. and newt did prime minister netanyahu convince americans we are on the road to making a bad deal? >> well he came to say that no deal is worse than a bad deal and the shape of the deal that secretary kerry is negotiating is a terrible deal. the e speech was effective, and for the 2/3 to 3/4 of the congress open to persuasion they left there much more unified this in being opposed to a bad deal. >> okay. take a listen to both men, and first netanyahu makeing his case and then the president rebutting. >> we have two major kon kegs sessions one leaving iran with a vast nuclear program, and two lifting the restrictions of the program in about a decade. that is why this deal is so bad. it doesn't block iran's path othe bomb, it paves iran's path the bomb. >> this is how the president responded to that. >> the alternative to the prime minister is no deal in which case iran will immediately begin once again pursuing its nuclear program, accelerate the nuclear program without us havi

c-span: one of the reasons i bring up gordon wood is that newt gingrich, when he came into office asthe speaker, endorsed his book. and it was one of his first choices. and i'm just trying to figure out, you know, which side he came down on and whether or not he endorsed him because of his politics or whatever. that's why i brought the two of them up. >> guest: i don't think so. i think --you know, i don't know what newt had in mind when he said that. newt says a lot of things that--some of which i agree with. c-span: what do you agree with that he says? >> guest: i think he has a very sound understanding of the merits of my book. c-span: and is that a period after that sentence? >> guest: no, there are lots of things he does that i like. c-span: what about property rights? you write a lot about property. first of all, why? >> guest: well, this is another one of those areas where the current scholarship is really opposed to the principles of the founding. they -- the general line you get in the history books and in the government textbooks is that property rights were ok for the firs

. >> let's contrast it for instance, to newt gingrich. john king opens the debate about his personal life about accusations -- >> he lashed out and shamed the press. >> shamed the press. if michael dukakis had shamed the press -- >> if he had done that opportunity, it probably would have done exactly what he was trying to do at that time which is show he was a passionate person about many things including his family. showing some emotion. >> there is a great walter mondale anecdote he loved to tell. he called up george mcgovern and asked him, when do you get over losing the presidency and mcgovern quipped, i'll let you know when you do. as michael dukakis gotten over it? >> after the election, he was able to -- rather than wallow -- >> he went back to a day job. >> he did. in his concession speech he talked about -- imagine you're talking to the most hard-core supporters you've had, and they're disappointed obviously. in the last scene in the film you hear him say that -- this is after being walloped. he says politics is a noble professio

al: newt gingrich. representative frank: one of the most instructive forces in american politics.grich, who never had a great set of policy ideas, came to power by explicitly saying we cannot win, we republicans if we do not demonize the democrats. he wrote this. you cannot say the democrats are reasonable people who with we disagree. you have to say they are dishonest and corrupt. at the same time when he was leading the attack, he had a glass job and used to complain -- jaw and used to complain when people said the smallest thing about him. al: nancy pelosi. representative frank: very effective leader. sexual stereotyping. she is an attractive soft-spoken woman who is as tough and shrewd and smart as anyone i have ever seen. she has used the power she has as a free in san francisco to be an effective force. al: you're mainly praising democrats because you were and still are a loyal democrat, but there are some republicans that you really admire. representative frank: i once tried to get jim leyland appointed to be the head of the world bank. alan greenspan, who at one time i wor

. >> hunt: newt newt gingrich. one of the most destructive forces in american politics. gingrich who never had any ideas came to power by saying we can't win if we don't demonize the democrats. he said you can't say democrats are reasonable people with whom we disagree, you have to say they're dishonest and corrupt. at the same time he was a leading exemplar to have the attack, he had a glass jaw and used to complain when anybody said the smallest thing about him. >> hunt: nancy pelosi. very effective leader. sexual stereotyping come in, she's an attractive soft-spoken woman who is as tough and shrewd and smart as anybody i've ever seen and she has used the power she's had with a kind of a free pass in san francisco to be a very effective force. >> hunt: you're mainly praising democrats here because you were and still are a democrat but there were some republicans that you admired a lot. jim leach. >> i once tried to get jim leach to be appointed head of the world bank and alan simpson who worked with alan greenspan decent man very bright. >> hunt: alan simpson. alan was

joining us the former speaker of the house of representatives newt gingrich. you were there, mr. on capitol hill. we know that he was extremely well-received by the people who were there in the house of representatives. but you also know that at the white house, they're furious right now that the prime minister is questioning their commitment to israel's security. >> well i think it's very ironic the president's overreaction made this a much much bigger speech. if the president just relaxed, had coffee with netanyahu, this would have been a normal foreign visitor speech. but by reacting for the last two weeks in the frenzy that they've been in they guaranteed that this would be a speech noticed around the world. and it's a pretty straightforward argument. innocent yow who's worried about the very survival of his country is not prepared to take risks. obama who has a gigantic country thousands of miles away is more prepared to take risks. that's a straightforward, legitimate argument and one which i think netanyahu is going to win. and i think the reaction to the speech today show

said well really it was the gingrich economy. i predict they will try to come up with some way to explain how we had 60 months of job growth because of what happened in the midterm elections a few months ago. >> well, they can try, but 60 months clearly does not -- >> exactly. >> -- not include just the midterm elections and their policies, congressman, have not done anything that you can remotely say caused the continued job growth that we were already having before on a consistent basis by the way, before the midterm elections. i'll have to leave it there, congressman jim mcdermott austan goolsbee, thank you both for your time tonight. >> we'll see you again. >> thank you. >>> coming up democrats hit back against the gop's hillary scandal machine. why the new republican obsession with e-mail-ghazi could backfire. >>> and the most outrageous tweet about gabby giffords. >>> and why are republicans refusing to attend the bloody sunday events this weekend? 50 years later the civil rights milestone reveals how far we've come and the

and this allout assault on medicare is -- it's been going on since i came here with gingrich. gingrich said "we want this thicke thing to whither on the vine." well, here we are one more time. but the real trick here and i want folks not only on this committee, but if there's anybody watching this on television they should run and get anybody who's 55 years or older to come and watch and listen. what they are planning to do is set up an exchange. now, they don't like exchanges in the affordable care act. they went to the supreme court over that whole issue. they don't think it's good enough for the ordinary folks in the country, but for seniors, they're going to set up an exchange that they say will be carefully monitored for medicare plans. so it isn't good enough for the rest of the country but we're going to take medicare away from the seniors, give them a voucher and send them out to the exchange so they can choose from whatever plan whatever's been advertised or whatever. now, no one can look at that and think they care anything about the health care of this country. that

congress, since the gingrich era has hollowed itself out. the commit yesterdays used to have staff, poll see rae searchers, academics that could come up with interesting legislation and analyze bills and come up with solutions they could propose to their boss, the committee chairman or on to the lawmakers. they got rid of that you. look at the biggest and most important tax writing committees, the financial services committee that wrote dodd frank, there's a tiny staff. only maybe like 20 people or something e-mailing be getting the number wrong. but a very small number of folks. they have to town to lobbyists because they have no one to come up with interesting ideas or analyze big problems and that's by design you look at the big think tanks in washington that are supposedly academic and are paid to think, but many times really it's -- they're simply controlled by lobbyists as well, fundses by big industry, take what the corporate interests want and give 'academic veneer it to and then pass it to congress. so the system is corrupt, and dod

newt gingrich and ronald reagan could show up and complain they regret their first marriages and probably regret the first three or four. i forget what number he is at and i like what the previous caller said what can he do? i it made it to point, i have friends who support the republican party and their mostly sane people. in my experience most of them are crazy about fewer taxes than they want a free government. but i make it a point to ask them very calmly, so what are you doing about your party and the way they are squeezing their medical care. the republican party has become a machine for producing teenage star unwed mothers. it's like they hate them. they hate them. but they are doing their best to help. >> host: mags, let's let katha pollitt respond to what you said. guess i. guess i just wanted to say what you said about regret is appointed make in the book which is life is full of regrets. people regret their marriage paper. people regret the jobs they have done and their non-marriages. life is just a path of mistakes it sometimes seems that but we don't say yes the law that we s

i talked to newt gingrich he said it was pretty good. he thinks she'll be a hard worker and practical. he doesn't think she'll get there because of the clinton global foundation and the foreign money. he's testifying next week. he'll bring up the problem of foreign money in american politics but he stressed it wasn't a hillary clinton issue, this is across the government. >> not a hillary clinton issue, across the government. we'll watch how it played out. we had a nice relationship however. i'm waiting for the however. >> a rough week in some sense for the house republicans. you had the resignation of aaron schock. when i was on capitol hill i got the sense that house speaker john boehner is going to try to take charge in the coming weeks. two pieces of legislation to keep an eye on that he wants to muscle through, one is the republican budget. get it through the house, get it come pro miced. the next is a doc fix bill which is how medicare reimbursements are done. boehner wants to solve that long term. it looks like he'll have the note

newt gingrich said, we want this thing to wither on the vine. the real trick here, and i want folks -- if anyone is watching this on television, they should get anyone who is 55 years or older to watch and listen. what they are planning to do is set up an exchange. they do not like exchanges in the affordable care act. they went to the supreme court over that issue. it is not good enough for the ordinary folks. for seniors, they will set up an exchange they say will be carefully monitored for medicare plans. it is not good at us -- good enough for the rest of the country. we will take medicare away from the seniors, give them a voucher, and send them to the exchange. no one can look at that and think they care anything about the health care of this country. that is why this budget is dead on arrival. >> thank you to my good friend from washington for yielding. previous hearings, republicans on this committee have said that wages are stagnating, economic activity is expecting to slow and the u.s. has a significant problem with poverty. this may c

heritage foundation newt gingrich, let's do something else. let's ask everybody to take responsibility for medicare. and if they can't afford it we'll give them a tax credit. that was a republican idea that president obama adopted. it was a romney plan. president obama adopted it. republicans ran away from it and now you want to impose that same theory on medicare? it's just bizarre. let's talk about taxes. yeah, we think that there are lots of loopholes in the tax code. we don't think we should be providing special tax breaks for corporate jets. we don't think you should have a special accelerated schedule for racehorses, some of us. we don't think that hedge fund managers should get special tax breaks. and so, yes, we think that we should close some of those loopholes and use those funds to reduce our deficit in a straight ford, transparent way. so i'm looking forward to the debate today. i know my colleagues are. and we believe we should have a budget that really does help hard-working americans not a budget that raises their costs, as this

that was true with newt gingrich, former speaker of the house funded almost entirely by sheldon adelsonit was also true for rick santorum the former pennsylvania senator who was funded almost entirely by foster freeze. everybody is keeping a close eye on the biggest of donors knowing only one could potentially finance a legitimate run through a republican primary. mark: phil mattingly running us from washington. thank you. tonight on charlie rose, john brunner, director of the central intelligence agency. that's tonight -- john brenner director of the central intelligence agency. that's tonight at 7:00. gm and ford are taking different ways getting money back to shareholders. matt miller will have the details when "bottom line" continues in just a moment. ♪ mark: welcome back. this is "bottom line" on bloomberg television streaming on your tablet, phone and bloomberg.com. general motors agreed to buy back $5 billion worth of shares in exchange for harry wilson giving -- harry wilson giving up his battle for or deceit. it leaves gm at the bottom engine it's stated cash range with $20 bil

ca theame way yo i think that he loves it in the same way but not in the same way such that newt gingrich or mr. giuliani or sean hannity which is to say uncritically and i think that he understands that senator al franken had a great line that there is a sense among some on the right. i think the president loves america like grown-ups love grown-ups. [applause] that is something that many on the political right field to get the elephant in the room with the reason that mr. giuliani questions because he happens to represent something that mr. giuliani finds strange and a little unsettling. i would say this i find it fascinating whenever african-american people are called upon to verify their love of country because we are the people who loved the country when the country didn't love us back. [applause] when my ancestors can tell stories like that of a soldier in the second world war passing through a small louisiana town who wrote about what it was like having to go into the back door of the restaurant to eat while they were on the same train went through the front door and eight and the

. >> "the washington post" also writing -- like his 1990s spread says ore newt gingrich, house speakerboehner faces near-constant calls from his planks, but one of his own republicans in the house says not so fast. peter king, a republican from new york told "the washington post" this -- we in grudging admiration, you have to know that no one is better at making themselves victims better than president and secretary clinton. i know them, i consider them friends, but having said that, they are masters of political jujitsu. with friends like that? it's incredible. casey, what do you make of that? >> i'm not sure peter king necessarily republicans all of the republican congress in his -- in what he said there. i will say that the toxicity of the clintons and republican congress goes back, so long, we talk so much about the narrative that sort of followed the clintons through their entire public life. they are -- this is familiar territory to them, you had james carville saying, hey, maybe she hid the e-mails because she didn't want lieuies gopper going through. >> lauren, were you going t

newt gingrich was speaker at the time.giving his speech about the fact that, well, if you're a fiscal conservative, then don't rely upon the government to take care of your parents. you take care of your parents. i did this on my radio show. i never been shocked with the call. yeah, well, my mother was mean to me. my father spanked me. they can do whatever they want to do. charles: i collect watches. my son made it clear, as soon as he gets a chance, he's selling all of them. >> he's a smart investor. charles: he may hold on to them. there's a family in my neighborhood they grew up, fair amount of money. their grandfather owned all the buildings and everything. gave all the money on one kid. he blew all of it in less than two years. dominic, seven kids. >> seven kids of my own. as a practitioner, financial planning practice, this is a real problem, charles. literally, on a daily basis we're getting a call from one of our clients. very fiscally responsible people going i need an extra 5,000, 10,000, extra 50,000, nine times

newt gingrich and the republicans closed down the government in 1995, bill clinton was reelected.epublicans tried to impeach bill clinton and made him into a martyr and victim and the most popular american president in a generation. what happened to hillary clinton and i agree this whole email thing is kind of sketchy and not particularly defensible, the republicans come up with benghazi. immediately they turn it into a political back and forth, so people who might be bothered by it say, jeez, it's a tit for tat. i will say the democrats, there's a certain nervousness in the ranks and the question that she is the ball game. there really is nobody else out there on the democratic side. >> woodruff: last thing i want to ask you about, on the eve of the 50th anniversary on the march on selma alabama the justice department this week issued a report and essentially what they did was they cleared the police officer who killed michael brown the ferguson, missouri teenager, but said the police department in ferguson was guilty bibiias, driven by a push to raise a lot of money and essentia

there's a potential that didn't exist with somebody like -- the self-destructive potential with gingrich always obvious. >> she's going to have to earn this nomination but at the end of the day, this is true, always in politics, the best politician wins and we don't know yet whether jeb bush is rusty or whether he can bring it. >> right. >> a year from now. but to try to project -- >> same with hillary, to be fair. >> hillary doesn't have any competition in the general election. >> in the general. >> as secretary of state, she had to do that shake and grim and sort of door-to-door politics with the world leaders. i think the criticism that she gets that she's not a people person, i think that's a moot point at this stage. >> that's not the same talking point, a world leader is not talking to sandy with an ice cream in her hand or kissing a baby. >> it's improved over the past eight years when she was secretary of state. >> look, we said jeb bush, he lost in florida and they both have high-profile losses. round table is staying with us. up next, dick cheney and eric holder have been playi

newt gingrich gives a good myrtle beach debate. jumps back on it -- there was 42% undecided. of that about 40% were women. undecided. debates matter. everything that surrounds it matters. having control of it, i was one of the ones who started debategate. we had two in south carolina, way before anyone had a lot of them. the rnc had to get control of it. especially the way we were coming off. >> what you're saying is interesting. if people remember this newt gingrich moment in 2012 he was asked by juan williams he jumped all over juan williams. it was such a powerful moment for him because juan williams is seen by the republican universe as a democrat as a liberal. he is beating up on the moderator and scoring political points. i wonder do you change the dynamic now if you have a republican questioning republicans? a candidate like newt can't do that. >> you do. that's good for our party. an example at that time, one was foot stamp versus paychecks to compare the parties, the second was juan williams. newt won 45 of 46 counties. >> the joke was that juan williams won south ca

newt gingrich always used us crazies. >> you do. >> brilliantly.re going to have to deal can scarborough and salmon and all the crazies over there. the same thimg happens here. the only way we reopen the government is gingrich would go over to clinton and go oh, i got to deal with those guys. and clinton would say -- they would work together. the same thing could happen here. >> the one distinction about this historically is the way this kind of thing has been done is that the address on that letter is to the president of the united states. and that's the way it's always been done. and i've been in trade negotiations back when i was the finance committee where -- in geneva. we would be sitting there and sometimes we would have letters from other members of congress and we would say to them look we get it but look at what we got here. we've got 47 signatures on this. >> exactly. >> but they were all domestic. now, just consider if that letter had been written to the president, consider what the difference of this news story would be. that would have

the organizers and speakers that included a varied coalition from van jones, corey booker to newt gingriche're starting i think, so see a real genuine seed change in politics. there is a growing understanding that the status quo is untenable. one of the biggest areas of growth is mass incarceration. a 500% increase in the last 100 years. and the need to cut mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolence drug offenders, and the dream act that allows people to petition to have their records sealed which would help them find work after leaving prison. i sat down with john forte who served seven years of a 14 year sentence for a first time drug nonviolent drug offense. >> as for why i'm here in dc i'm participating in the bipartisan summit on criminal justice reform. because some people might say that i'm the poster child for a bipartisan initiative. because i'm here. seven years freed. from a 14-year federal prison sentence for a first time nonviolent drug offense during a republican generation. while i was away while i was doing my time people were championing for me. not just my personal freed

was able to survive in 2012 because he had weak opponents and running against herman cain, newt gingrichsantorum. jeb bush will be running against scott walker. good news for walker, bad news for jeb bush in this nbc/"wall street journal" poll, and we will be back with more of the show right after this. r leak protection. new always discreet underwear for sensitive bladders from always, the experts in feminine protection. new always discreet underwear absorbs heavy bladder leaks faster then the leading brand, so you can feel comfortably dry. plus always discreet has a discreet fit that hugs your curves. you barely feel it. new always discreet underwear. now bladder leaks can feel like no big deal. because, hey, pee happens. is there such a thing as a sure thing in business? some say buy gold. others say buy soybeans. i say, buy comcast business internet. unlike internet providers that slow down when traffic picks up, you get speed you can rely on. it's a safe bet. like a gold-plated soybean. reliably fast internet starts at $69.95 a month. comcast business. built for business. >>> so her

government's federal budget was balanced, it was john kasich who wrote it, with bill clinton and newt gingrich. he also has a mouth. he can be pretty brash. he tells people what he thinks. that impressed voters today, but it could turn off voters and work to backfire. >> sounds like a talk show host to me. we'll be checking in throughout the campaign. thanks for being with us. >> you bet. >>> yesterday, kentucky senator rand paul said republicans in order to grow the party should not just toss out, quote, red meat. instead, he said members of the gop should offer something, quote intellectually enticing. here to explain more, the man himself, kentucky senator rand paul. senator, good to see you. >> thanks, sean. thanks for having me. >> you said that. you also said you didn't see all of ted cruz's speech. it was interpreted in the media that was your comment about his speech. have you had a chance to watch it yet? >> i think it was more a comment in general. that i like to say my approach is one where i try to make the appeal towards the bill of rights, and take it to a lot of audiences that r

relative peace balanced budgets and welfare reforms which was forced on the president by in the newt gingrich but there were scandals and playing by a different set. does this feed into that and remind people of the bad parts of the clinton years? >> it does. just to pick up on something that my friend was talking about from a historical point of view you want the historical record that is why a.p. is suing you should have transparency and now the political part, i don't think that when people look back on file-gate whitewater all it amounts to a bunch of morning and that is largely the response of the d community. initially, concern that, we are setting a residence through her behavior that others can follow. there has been such a feeding frenzy that people think it is way out of line to the point it is like a poker player and a big bluff. they have nothing as far as winning the 2016 campaign. hillary clinton is seven or eight points ahead of any republican candidate at this point and you can see the republicans, e-mail e-mail, e-mail, and when karl was in trouble, zero press coverage. zero.

and the elite said we couldn't win control of congress and newt gingrich and his revolution were doomede thought otherwise. elite said we couldn't run the table in 2014 and that obamaism was the wave of the future that single moms would never turn out for conservatives and they were wrong. people thought otherwise. [ applause ] the elite said that unless conservatives embraced and passed comprehensive immigration refarm, ie amnesty after 2012 remember all those comments, that conservatives and republicans could never win in 2014. the elites were speck tack deck tack cue larry long. so when the going gets tough job you have to ask yourself which of these candidates is going to stand up and fight for me. the american worker. the american family. the mothers and fathers who play by the rules. don't ask for handouts, don't ask for special treatment but don't want to be insulted by the elites. they want to be respected as human beings who have their own dreams the american dream. and american citizenship means something. it's not just a piece of paper. it's an ideal and it's a belief in the

he reminds me of the newt gingrich role of the last campaign very glib very smart, very interesting toas a message that for many of the most ardent activists believe in. >> dan speaking of messages i want to switch gears to hillary clinton and her shifting message, a new poll showing up dipping a little bit in terms of favorable and majority of americans mostly republicans saying how she united statesed edused that e-mail server was a problem. it's not so much her message changed but trying to refocus the message and her strategy on topics like iran more specifically about the war on women by republicans. what are you hearing about the impact this may have on her timing though? >> i think the timing she has is pretty much as we have long assumed, which is that in early april or sometime early in april she's likely to form some kind of campaign committee sean formal announcement would follow that. i can't tell you whether that's going to be in may or june there was one report about july. i think that's probably later than she will do it but they are building a staff of significant size.

obama's presidency there was a landslide congressional election in 1994 when the republicans and newt gingrich the first midterm of the bill clinton presidency. they beat them so badly in '94 the metaphors started failing. republicans picked up 54 house seats in that election. astonishing. best they have done in 50 years. in 2010 they even beat that. the 1994 midterm had been a pick up of 54 seats. in 2010 first midterm of the obama presidency republicans picked up 63 seats in the house. that's how john boehner became speaker. they had a huge year in terms of winning seats in congress. but that was nowhere near their biggest victory that year. leading up to the 2010 election a group started a project they called the redistricting majority project or red map for short. for this red map project they started to raise a bunch of money. red map was not formally affiliated with the republican party but at arms length organizationally speaking. so red map, separate from everything else the party was doing publicly to do well in the 2010 elections separate from that it was the job of red map to try to

. >> santorum and newt gingrich they couldn't be president. >> -- the party has picked the candidate 30 years or more. it's true he's not energized the grass roots, but when you sweep up all the best staff and the money it's because people think you're the best shot. he's working on retail. i think it's good that he's invested in that. you see him staying in rooms till the last person leave, taking all the questions, not being afraid not being elitist, not being hillary clinton. scott walker is the only guy that unites the party, but he should never say bad things about bush this early. he has a long time to become front-runner. excite audiences, he's running against a juggernaut. he's already made mistakes bush hasn't. scott walker should save his words for later. >> ed musky ymuskie could not be beat. along came george mcgovern with a point of view and blew him right away. >> what was the biggest upset in republican presidential primary history that you can think of? >> well the late entry of eisenhower came from out of nowhere. goldwater was way back behind rockefeller the year be

[laughter] that's when newt gingrich was contributing, you know anti-gay-rights people. most of the time i just avoid drawing caricatures by addressing broader issues in my work. so another signature of my approach to cartooning is the visual nature of my work. with artistic influences that rang from "the new yorker" cartoons to charles addams, and the animated cartoons of warner bros., to the work of european and latin cartoonist. i've always had an affinity for cartoons with few or no words. now, i may have followed the same path because i just love the visual purity and universal appeal of wordless cartoons. or maybe i just went this route because i can't spell. but regardless of the reason, the fact of the matter remains the fewer words i include, the less chance i have of dispelling one. now like this in, for instance. i only had to spell check three words in this cartoon. and this one, no words at all. chance of misspelling, zero. so once i develop a style that avoids the caricatures i can't draw and once i devise an approach that eliminates the words i can't spell

it's a suitcase that is gingrich's picture and to document. is good sense to me in the supreme court's reasoning that this is different than it used to be. should've fourth amendment applications. that's the way we treat it. if i want to look at your phone without your consent i will go to a judge to make a showing of probable cause, get a court order and if i can get the phone open to look at it. the challenge our inability access it even with a court order. >> if i could follow up one more question. has there been, have you heard there's a rumor that apple has made an agreement with china about this as a precondition to selling their phone to their? >> i don't know anything about that. >> thank you. >> judge carter has dealt with this quite a bit of a district court judge. >> mr. chairman? >> i recognize the gentleman from texas.

gingrich would say i've got kay zis, s crazies, help me out here. meet me halfway.r a great service to john kerry. >> none of us know what's happening around that table because it's only those people and remarkably for washington there have been few leak on these negotiations so we don't know how close or how not close they are. 14 days left to go until they come up with this framework. i think the other thing that it does, though is, remember this is not just america negotiating. this is the p5 plus 1 negotiating. and some of them particularly the french and the germans and the brits are looking at washington at the moment saying this isn't very functional guys. i mean we need a stronger negotiating partner if we're going to be sitting there at the table. public letters to the adversary are not very helpful. >> we heard chuck todd last week say, if you just talk about the united states and iran that's small ball. there are five other countries involved involved. at the end of the day this is about united states and iran. >> at the end of the day it is about united

. >> you saw newt gingrich. he is making his way up to the well of the chamber.orted by various congressional leaders including mitch mcconnell. harry reid is in there. patty murray is from washington state. he has a long history in the united states. he is very politically and media savvy. he knows what buttons he needs to press. lots of audiences for this speech, including back home in israel where the election takes place march 17. >> as you watch him work this crowd, when you think about what an extraordinary they gear he has been in modern history of israeli politics and his role with the united states, this relationship between obama and netanyahu is as frack to us as any -- fractured as any leader during this is ministration. this story begs to be told. it has been filled with dramatic moments and a lot of bitterness. >> gwen ackerman in jerusalem, peter cook, thank you. we will listen to what is expected to be a 30 minute speech and we will join you in the back half for analysis and discussion. let's listen to benjamin netanyahu talk about iran and its nu

you know what if romney didn't have enough money to destroy newt gingrich before iowa and didn't have to destroy newt gingrich before south carolina, before florida, he would have been out but he had the money and the money always sustains them through crappy starts. it turns to the midwest and the northeast and then suddenly you just start signing checks, start signing checks. all of these people that have a good start all fade away. if that's your republican party, party -- the democrats are already into hillary. >> i think we're the same side. okay. i know they're screaming at us. we have to decide sheep. >>> mike allen, thank you very much. appreciate that. >> i like everybody. >>> gene sorry. >> i just like a competitive primary. gene, we will get to your column next. you talk to much for us to get into it. look who is going to be with us too. >> oh, my god, i'm already nervous because whenever his name shows up oh just -- >> four-star admiral james stavridis joins us next. also, two very big know your value, this is exciting. we're like two weeks away. >> hoda. >> there's still

and some damage was done when newt gingrich implemented some of the policies of the contract with america and one of the things he said was leave washington and go back to your districts. there was a time that when you won a seat in national office and federal office, you moved your whole family to washington. you may have fought on the floor during the day. you sat in the bleachers with your opposition at night and watched the kids play ball. tip o'neil they would bash reagan and famously get on the phone and chat as fingerprints -- chat like old friends at night. politicians spend so little time in washington. they don't move their families there. they don't really know each other of it's just that simple. >> there is a prior reason why that is happening which really has to do with money. >> absolutely. and there is a cost for the money you make, right. with the breakdown in relationships, they don't know each other, how can you work with somebody that you just don't know? as you know, you can attest, it's much worse than the polarization of democrat and republican. the democrats don't
