president travels. i once appeared on nbc with john snow, george w. bush's treasury secretary. was, probably more people wanted totj kill me than snow. but because snow had his government position, four secret service protected him and ordered everyone else out of the room. we have to protect this gentleman. when i'm president, i'll have a much smaller security detail. and no, i'm not going to announce my code name to the entire country on your show. but i guess candidates cant talk like that. >> but i wish one would, and would go on to say, the secret service is just a tiny example. if you students are to have a future we have to cut most things government does and reduce the growth of government. people my age collect much more than they put n. and there are not enough of you to pay for on us old people. after all, when social security was created, most didn't live to 65. and now on average, it's 78 years, and life spans increase on averagele hours per day. government can't pay for all of us, but i want my medicare, i rudely refuse to die. are you guys ready to turn over almo

john mccain win stunned george bush. the texas governor went on to secure the gop nomination and the presidency. jeb bush looking to new hampshire at a time his national poll numbers are miserable. most of the national media accounts are about his fall from early favorite to a campaign on life support. don't write the jeb op-ed just yet. bush had a decent few days in new hampshire. one of them notes that the state has a history including john mccain in 2000 and 2008 of throwing a lifeline to candidates who appear to be teetering. skeptical but we'll see. that's it for "inside politics." we'll see you soon.

john f. kennedy, maybe robert kennedy big also, and abraham lincoln that drew the most owe -- the most attention. we haven't talked about four presidents. ronald reagan, bill clinton, georgebush, and barack obama. what would you like to say about those? there is obviously more in your book. >> john hinckley was the person who shot president reagan and president reagan was not wearing a bullet proof vest that day. it is a short trip to the white house. the secret service wasn't either and they were both wounded. if he had worn it he wouldn't have had the serious wound he could have died from. the thing is john hinckley was stalking jimmy carter before this. during the fall of 1980. so if he had killed carter walter mondale would have become president and maybe hard to know, maybe the sympathy of the death of carter maybe ronald reagan wouldn't have won in 1980. who knows? that is certainly possible. i don't think there is any question. barack obama in 2008 had two conspiracies against him by young people, young men, in denver, colorado. the plan was to try to kill them at the convention as he accepted the nomination for president. so when i hear that i say, the candidate s
