lisa murkowski but this, unfortunately for joe miller was part of his pitch. this is part of why he said he should win. >> should the federal government be requiring a minimum wage? >> that's clearly up to the states. >> there should not be a minimum wage? >> that should not be. that's not the scope of the powers given of the federal government. >> that was joe miller. not a senator then and not a senator after that election. well now in 2014, it's time for our next midterm year. and democrats and the president have succeeded in making the minimum wage an issue that has not just bottlenecked between the president and house republicans in washington, it is everywhere. including today becoming the latest headache for chris christie and the port authority in new york and new jersey. the person chris christie had to put in to replace the guy who got fired in the bridge scandal, bill baroni, the first thing the replacement had to get done was get a huge horrible round of press for what the "daily news" is calling her mele mouthed statement, excusing new jersey's de

joe miller, frankly, was not vetted very well.ll -- >> let me quarrel one thing what you said. todd aiken was not our candidate. that's false. we supported sarah stillman. >> fair enough. >> we did not think todd aiken was a good candidate. [ overlapping speakers ] -- others, but go ahead. >> i do not think he was the tea party candidate in missouri. there's a difference between 2012 and 2014 as compared to 2010. in 2010, there was no question the tea party movement emerged, because both republican party and the democratic party lost sight of spending, lost sight of growing the government. there was a frustration with both parties. >> so you got ahead of the skis? >> it was important in 2010 to stand up and shake up the republican party and challenge people. and say, look, we cannot spend ourselves into prosperity. we can't sustain this national debt that we're doing. and so, yes, we were a lot more aggressive in 2010. in 2012, we challenged one incumbent. i mean, we were not out there trying to defeat incumbents. we were trying t

there is one tea party insurgent, joe miller, you may remember, he defeated a sitting republican senator in alaska. here he is calling the minimum wage unconstitutional. >> so there should not be a federal minimum wage? >> there should not be. >> that is not in the scope of the powers given the government. >> he went on to lose that election. his greatest belief is getting an airing on the far right. it was rejected by the supreme court in 1941. last year, democrats used a procedural maneuver to force the house to open a bill to raise the minimum wage from 7.25 to 10.10. it failed to win a single republican vote. so in year 2014 the mid-term elections looming, the republicans keep standing in the way of an increase, president obama is gearing up to make min pull wage woun one of his key initiatives this year. you have seen democrats and some contev conservative, southern states ready to run on it. >> it seems our senior senator only understands the meaning of one word, stop. well, senator, your voting time after time against increasing the minimum wage all the while you increase your pay

fayette county deputy sheriff joe miller picks up the chase as captured by his squad car dash cam. >>iles an hour. >> i'm getting closer and closer and i heard something. sounded like a rocket in my car or something. we're traveling at a pretty good rate, 60 miles an hour on a gravel road. and i heard it again. something ain't right. >> the next moment miller realizes shots are being fired. >> shots fired, shots fired. >> i fell one when it it wen into the engine. . it shook my car. my temperature gauge is starting to go up on the car. oh boy, they got me, smoke started coming through the vents and my temperature gauge was hot and i had to stop. >> meanwhile police and fbi agents have arrived at the maynard savings bank. they are interviewing the employees about what happened. general police protocol after a bank robbery regardless of jurisdiction is that each bank employee must give a statement separately. >> everyone is supposed to write down their own observations before discussing with others. >> this ensures that employees do not compare notes about what happened and are able to

senator chuck schumer is looking for a new roommate now that congressman joe miller is retiring.l a must." >>> new virginia governor terry mcauliffe got a surprise, a stuffed black bear in the governor's private office bathroom. his predecessor left it there as part of a prank with a note saying, quote, it can get really wild in the governor's mansion. ♪ >>> oh, who doesn't remember that viral video? gangnam style. well, former republican presidential candidate mitt romney decided to show off his version over the weekend. ♪ okay, can we just play that over and over again? romney was attending a conference for young mormons in arizona. one more time, come on. good sport. >>> my must read, with chris christie dealing with bridgegate and analysts thinking he can't get past to win the nominations anyway, who are the republicans with a chance to beat hillary clinton? well, you've been commenting over the hour. al writes, condi rice should run in 2016. probably their best bet, another bush. let us know what you think. that's going to wrap up this hour of "jansing and co." i'm chris jan

miller. christina belantony. political strategist joe watkins and contributing editor for newsweek david k. johnston who's also the author of "the fine print, how big companies use plain english to rob you blind." thank you all for being here. matt, let me start with you. everyone's talking inequality now. if you had to characterize the key difference between democrats and republicans on the definition of what causes inequality before we get to solutions, how would you define that difference? >> i would guess on the -- if you asked on the solutions, it would be rhetoric versus reality. we'll get to that in a second. on the way they define the problem, i think that democrats think that this kind of extreme inequality is corrosive for our democracy because it just fuels the ability for those at the top with extreme levels of money to buy political influence, to rig the system even further against those who are falling behind and i think that the republicans as well as obviously those, you know, if you have one in five kids living in poverty far above what any other advanced society has, that'

joe johns in washington. so, while governor christie's office is a subject of the state investigation, he's also now dealing with a federal criminal probe and facing civil lawsuits. tan di millerre with me now. you know how these investigations go, but based on what you've heard thus far, you hearing any evidence that really help substantiate a criminal probe? >> not yet and it's important to realize, fred, what the u.s. attorney has said he is doing. he has not launched a full blown investigation yet. what he has launched or opened is a somewhat more limited ve investigation to see whether or not any federal crimes possibly occurred in this. so that's a little bit different. there is still a question in the u.s. attorney's mind if a federal criminal statute has been implicated by anybody in this. meantime, there has been at least one class action suit that has been filed in which at least one fort lee woman took to the air waves yesterday, that said she had a panic attack because of that traffic. does more have to be established in order for a class action suit to be successful? >> i think there's a lot more that has to be established before a class action lawsuit is going to
