you're haley barbour.chris christie, one of these thoughtful people in the republican party you can argue. how are you going to stop these people from running if fay want to? >> cash. >> how do you stop them if they have money behind them? >> money talks, right? if you don't want this guy to win and you've got the koch brothers and you have adelson there, that's why they have a pac, right? >> that worked well for romney. here is the deal money can't buy you, authenticity. >> they're authentic, i hate to tell you. they're the real thing. >> they're authentic to the point where -- if you're authentic in your irrationality, great. you'll appeal to the irrational people. but when this guy says the earth was formed -- hold on. when the earth was formed 9,000 years ago and we started farming 10,000 years ago, it's insane. >> we have to come back to the fact that they have a base, that people like this have been elected. >> exactly. they have been. >> you know, i look at mourdock, he won. i like at akin, he won.

haley barbour is a former republican party chairman, former governor of mississippi. he is in jackson this morning, and cory booker, of course, is the mayor of newark, and he is in our new york studio. governor barbour, president me just start with you, and i want to go back to the top. he says he hopes the sequester, the draconian cuts don't go into effect. but from where i sit it looks to me like this is all going to happen because congress and the white house just can't figure out hue not to let it happen. what's your take? >> first of all, it was the president's idea when the sequester was proposalsed to be put into law a couple of years ago and there are plenty of reasons for to not want it to go into effect, particularly the defense spending. what the democrats want is another excuse to raise taxes. their answer soevery question is raise taxes. they apparently think what's wrong with the company and president obama, mrs. pelosi, steny hoyer, and top harkin, all prominent democrats have all said, "we don't have a spending problem in this country." they think what

haley barbour who would come on our show with other people wouldn't embrace olympia snow.fert's most liberal day -- it's pretty simple. we got to do what we do in alabama when it comes to football. we've got to realize it's about winning. this electoral process, it's not a primal screen therapy. it's not about screaming and yelling and talk about all of your resentments and feeling good about yourself. it's about what i say every day on the show. not just winning in northwest florida but winning the suburbs of philadelphia. how do you do that? you don't do that by defending the survivalist wing of the nra. you don't do that by debating contraception which was taken care of by the court in '65. you don't do that by obsessing on small ball. you do it be focusing on winning. only people like haley barbour it seems in this republican party lately have figured out how to do that. we've lost five of the six last elections when it comes to poplar vote. it's well past time for us to get our act together and start obsessing over winning elections again. >> read all the books you ca

after haley barbour said, according to the "national review," we kicked away four or five senate seats in the last two cycles by nominating candidates who did not have the best chance to win. the club for growth should stop spending money to defeat republicans. the club fired back. "when he was thinking of running for president, barbour had nothing but nice things to say about us. now that he's back to his more familiar roles as a lobbyist than a republican party insider, he is singing a different tune." rove is taking a beating on conservative radio. listen to this from mark levin's show this week. >> who the health died and made karl rove queen for the day?! and his sidekick, steven law, with their disastrous records. >> it was really karl rove who gave us obama. $400 million was wasted. they do the worst ads i have ever seen, ever. >> on the show yesterday, former indiana senator richard lugar defended what rove and other establishment conservatives are trying to do. >> republicans who really want to see a majority in the senate know that in order to do that, they really have to be

kick in. >> yes, i disagree with haley barbour's economic analysis, you won't be surprised. suspect there isn't much there. when you're think being the sequester, you're talking about taking $85 billion out of an economy that's already growing too slowly i think we would all agree. growing, yes, but not fast enough to lower the unemployment rate. the sequester, i don't know that i would use the word catastrophic. the sequester will take something like half a percent off of gdp growth in this year, in 2013. that's exactly the wrong way. it's like the congresswoman was saying. it's upside down. we need our policymakers to be promoting growth, not harming growth. what that will do is keep the unemployment rate stuck around 8%. it will cost hundreds of thousands of jobs. this is not partisan analysis. every macroeconomic analysis i've looked at comes to this conclusion. take half a percent out, and you actually have an unemployment rate that's going to be stuck where it is instead of coming down exactly the wrong medicine. >> absolutely. jared bernstein and congresswoman eddie b
