at one point went after john kasich for being against collective bargaining. i mean, we have elected a guy that's not a conservative by a long shot. so these arguments that reagan couldn't even win this year, kind of misses the point of who actually did win this year. >> yeah. i think reagan was really, joe, your classic small government conservative in terms of what he ran on and what he tried to govern on, recognizing that he had to compromise, cut taxes, shrink government, aggressive anti-communist foreign policy. >> and spoke to the social issues but did not let them get in the way of a deal on, you know, tax cuts or saving social security. >> all right. let's get one more news story in here. >>> former nixon aide and key figure during the watergate scandal charles chuck colson has died from complications of brain surgery he had in march. colson, who was sent to jail, turned to religion forming a prison fellowship which became the world's largest outreach to prisoners and their families. he spoke about the scandal that denined the nixon presidency said, qu

i mean we have a lot of great governors, scott walker, and john kasich and others. you said you were doing quietly. care to talk about it. describe it, what motivated that and where you are now with this? >> what we really did we took on the civil service system of government employees. i loved your comment about unseen taxes. if you look -- actually, we have 22 different departments in the state. i asked every one of them after a year, i said what its the biggest thing you can do, get better service at a lower price. every one said the way weep hire. right now you get rewarded for breathing the longest. that's how we, that's how we decide to who we are going to hire, who we are going to promote. who we are going to give raises to. who is going to get laid off when we do that. so we addressed that. and moved, not finally passed. i'm -- hope i am not jinxing myself. pretty certain we will get it done this year. basically do away with civil service system that used -- time served instead of merit to determine how we do things. if you don't think that makes a differenc

john kasich a republican just endorsed governor romney yesterday. his support shouldn't move these numbers too much. union household backed the president by a wide margin 51 percent to romney's 35 percent. romney leads with a more specific block light working class voters by the narrowest margins 41 percent to 40 percent. we asked voters in ohio how they would like romney and their senator rob portman. that ticket trailed the obama biden ticket 40-46. in florida rubio only up by 1 percentage point. it is only hypothetical but gives us an idea what they are thinking a little more than half a year before the general election. >>> peter doocy live in dc, thanks. >> time for a look who is talking. >> this morning it's sarah palin she is sounding off on the gsa scandal secret service and careless spending of tax payer dollars. >> she went on record saying the bus must stop with president obama. >> it's a symptom of government runli running amuck. who is running the store around here. the secret service is playing with the tax payer's dime and playing wit

. >>> john kasich also talking offering tough words for washington. kasich says congress and the white house should follow the lead of states like his which turned their economies around. >> they saw a boom in growth after balancing the budget cutting taxes and regulations. here is his message to washing tonl. >> the fact of the matter is ohio is coming back because we set a clear path, cut taxes balanced our budget got credit upgrades when the rest of the world including america was being downgraded. at the same time we have de regulated or make regulation have more common sense. we have created an environment and atmosphere for job growth in ohio. there's so much uncertainty, david, are they going to raise taxes how many more regulations are going to be piled on. uncertainty affects small business and all job creators in america. so this recovery while i feel good about the fact that we are moving in the right direction if the federal level is too anemic, frankly this is what i am concerned about, i have wind in my face. ohio is doing what they can

john kasich signed six new abortion restriction bills into law last year. of course, in pennsylvania there's governor tom corbett who told women to just close your eyes when it comes to the state's new mandatory ultrasound bill. 35 new house bills were introduced and governor bob mcdonnel supported medically unnecessary ultrasounds. and scott johnson whose budget requires insurance companies to cover prescription birth control. can we go on and on? so, what, fiction? does he know what he's talking about? maybe he just doesn't understand. well, the blunt amendment. maybe he forgot that one. that's when senator roy blunt wanted to allow employers to refuse nip kind of health care service for moral reasons. this is fact, not fiction. or maybe he thinks all women gets previous pay since president obama signed the lilly ledbetter act. rights are not equal at the executive level. male chief financial officers earn 16.3% more than their female counterparts. maybe he doesn't understand health care discrimination. maybe that's it. he should have watched this program

governor john kasich signed it but the people rejected it. the ohio union stripping law never took efft. the great state of michigan has the same kind of process for recalls. signatures from 5% of the number of people who voted in the last race for governor is what it takes to get a law on the ballot for recall. like ohio, if you get a law on the ballot for recall, that effort stops the law in its tracks. the law is no longer enforce. the law can't be enforce anymore until after people get a chance to vote on it. that's the way it works in ohio. i think 6% of signatures. the way it works in michigan with 5% of signatures. in michigan february 29th this year without any fanfare we saw in ohio or wisconsin, these michiganers turned insignificants to recall a new law passed by the republicans. the caravan to the state capitol in lansing and carted these boxes to the board of state canvassers. this week, they found out they got enough signatures. they had more than enough by 40,000. the staff of the state canvasser said they went through the sign
