i was reminded earlier today when i was talking with john scott, the shortest verse in the bible maythe most powerful, jesus wept. he left hand his friend died and he cried about it. that sort of says it all, that sometimes the most powerful thing that we can do to get through our own grief is to recognize that we have it and be honest about it and express it. don't hold the tears back, but let them flow. it's how we were hard wired in order to be able to express and to acknowledge that there is a deep human pain that is going on inside of us. >> bill: you know, your previous life, you were a governor of arkansas. >> yes. >> bill: you had to deal with natural disasters and human disasters and the tragedy that man inflicts upon other men and you had to face those victims or you had to face those who were trying to move on with their own lives. what did you do as the head of that state? >> i remember the day after the jonesboro shooting in march of 1998, which an 11 and 12-year-old opened fired on their classmates and teachers. it was the most horrific thing i went through as a governo

it started with scott walker in wisconsin. went on to ohio. and johne've seen a lot of it out of florida. we've seen a lot of it with rick scott. we've seen a lot of it of course in new jersey with chris christie. particularly in the midwest there's been this blatant war on unions. the latest is rick schneider, a guy who was just recently elected who says the last thing he wanted oh, no, no, no, he said this publicly, privately we heard this yesterday from steve cook, head of the michigan education association was a guest on our program. the union leadership was working, meeting with governor schneider and he said no the last thing i want is -- i don't want to split this state the way they did in wisconsin and ohio. no no, no. i don't want anything to do with that. i want to work together with the unions. i don't want anything to do with this rumors that they might try to pass some so-called right-to-work legislation in michigan. they met for like about ten days and then on friday, the republican-controlled legislature forced through -- get this now --

hello, i'm john scott. >>. jenna: hi, everybody i'm jenna lee from washington, d.c. today. the north koreans say this is launch is a success as the united states and our allies condemn the move calling it a test of technology for a missile that could be eventually used in a nuclear attack. many saying this is a huge threat to regional security. north korea is insisting it is just a peaceful effort to put a satellite into orbit. right now the u.n. security council is meeting behind closed doors to discuss a response. in the meantime a lot of talk happening in d.c. national security correspondent jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon with more on this. so far, what is the reaction? >> reporter: we heard from u.s. officials, they are calling this very highly provocative act. it has been a swift response. we have a statement from national security council spokesman tommy vitter. he said, quote, this action is yet another example of north korea's pattern of irresponsible behavior. the united states remains vigilant in the face of north korean provocations and fully committed

the governors that are set to be in jeopardy, rick snider and scott walker, john casic and rick scott. are the threats something that the labor leaders can pay off? >> there is not any evidence right now. they were energized this year and got the signatures to put this on the ballot in michigan proposal to enshrine collective bargaining and got over 600,000 signatures and it got clobbered by an almost 3-2 margin on november 6th. they can huff and puff right now, but they are playing defense is what it gets down to. >> we talked about the options in our first read. they can file legal actions charging the process and violated the states and opened meetings act and overturned it bypassing a voter initiated law. are those two long shot options there? >> well, there will be a lot of litigation. no question about that. they will do everything they can in court and maybe that's the best chance of success. in terms of an initiative or referendum, the bill that passed the legislature innoculates the law for being challenged in a referendum. it's got an appropriation in it. i don't see a way y

but you can point to states where governor like scott walker or john kasich or rick scott are employing conservative principles and they are attracting businesses and creating jobs. o'reilly did a great segment comparing texas and california. that is what i want to do with heritage, showcase successes we are having. to republicans concede we need more revenue in the context of not reforming entitlement or the tax code and the president wants a blank check to borrowone future, that is nuts. we should not negotiate with ourselves. stand our ground and we have a power majority in the house. the idea of the fiscal cliff -- >> bret: democrats say the argument was made in the election. won on their side. >> it didn't win in south carolina or the majority of the states. republicans elected won those elections running on the limited government and less taxes. they shouldn't give in to that. principle is wrong and the president doesn't have a serious plan. his idea of raising taxes will run it for a few days. it's a political trophy to the left. we need to do what is good for america despite wha

clearly today scott walker john casey rick snyder reside in a much much different republican party republicans like paul ryan who has twice tried to end medicare as we know it and supported plans to hand social security over to wall street also hang out in a very different party than eisenhower and rush limbaugh things paul ryan is the last boyscout of the republican party but i somehow or would have just called paul ryan's stupid as eisenhower wrote to his brother edgar in one nine hundred fifty four sheed any political party attempt to abolish social security unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws think michigan rick snyder and farm programs you would not hear that party again in our political history there's a tiny splinter group of course the blues you can do these things if you texas oil millionaires and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas their number is negligible and they are stupid. as barlow told me republicans used to care about helping poor people. the republican party through reagan and the first president bush. didn't want to abolish the welfare stat

the mid-western republican governors are aiming to take down john casic and scott walker and of course schneider throws in florida's rick scott although florida has been a right to work state for a long time. in a statement, we consider 2014 to be absolutely crucial. if you wanted to somewhat arbitrarily say which region will see the most action, it's going to be in the midwest. schneider responded to that threat. >> i am prepared and it's unfortunate that people are using the term retribution. there were comments made that i didn't think appropriate in terms of violence. again, this is not about someone against someone else. >> the irony to all this. when you go back to the michigan republican primary in 2010, it was democrats. rick snyder appealing to moderate democrats that got him over the finish line. michigan is an open primary state and he was able to beat back more conservative opponents and now he is in the cross hairs of the democratic party and those who were skeptical in 2010 will fully embrace it. in a diplomatic shift, the u.s. will recognize the syrian council. president

he said he was not going to get into those issues like scott walker and john kasic.uld be positive. he lied through his teeth. a total scum bag who turned around and stabbed michigan working families in the back. yesterday, the legislature of both the house and the senate passed that legislation. the governor immediately signed it. t, immediately signed it again, having been working with unions as we have heard here on the show for like the last 10 days, up until last friday saying we have to avoid these battles in michigan we can't let this happen. we can't let our state be the next battle ground in the war on union. and he totally, totally turned around. it wasn't a double-cross. it was really a triple-cross on governor snyder's part because he flipped from going against this legislation to supporting this legislation. he totally flipped and rejected the pleas of senator debby standard of care stabenow, sandy levin, all of the rest of the delegation john conyers. they asked him, don't sign this thing. let the legislate do its thing. don't sign this thing. if you do

one potential rod road block scott brown. if john kerry does become secretary of state that opens up the seat there would be a special election. scott brown likely to run. some democrats tonight nervous that they could gain a new secretary of state in john kerry but lose that senate seat in massachusetts. bottom line the white house made a bigger political calculation tonight, harris, they did not want to start this second term off with a messy battle over benghazi. >> harris: thank you very much. one u.s. official says the state department may not he release the report on its own benghazi negotiation. team fox coverage continues now. catherine herridge live for us on capitol hill. does the department have to release that report? >> well, thank you, harris and good evening. tonight fox news has reviewed the regulations here. there are 15 pages long that governor the state department's interrible investigation there does not appear to be a requirement for secretary of state hillary clinton to give the entire report to congress. there

scott is a classic career politician. and i don't say that in a negative way. >> journalist and wisconsinite john nichols has tracked scott the '90s when walker was a state legislator and an alec member. >> and in 2010 he ran not presenting himself as an alec alumni or as an ally of big corporations or big business people outside the state. he ran a very down-home campaign. >> this is my lunch. i pack a brown bag each day so i can save some money to spend on the more important things in life, like sending my kids to college. >> nichols says that despite the folksy image, in the years leading up to walker's 2010 campaign, he had become a master political fundraiser. >> and he began to really forge incredibly close ties with a lot of corporate interests that he had first been introduced to in alec, individuals and groups like the koch brothers. >> david and charles koch, the billionaire businessmen behind a vast industrial empire are also political activists with an agenda. their companies and foundations have been alec members and funders for years. >> the koch brothers were among the two or three largest contributors to s

they're not being run by a katherine harris or a john husted or scott gessler there is no statewide electedicial who is running the election and endorsing one of the candidates in that election that they are running. wisconsin does not have that. wisconsin has a better way of doing it. they have a more good government technocratic model for the nation way of doing it. so naturally wisconsians say they would now like to get rid of it. after this last election, that he doesn't like the way the government accountability board has been ruling. he wants it to be reconstituted in a more partisan way. he wants the member to be political appointees. that's the republican who heads the senate, and the republican who heads the assembly also says he is open to that idea. both of those republican legislators independent voted in favor of creating the government accountability board in first place back in 2007. they voted for it. they voted to create this thing, along with every other republican in the legislature at the time. but now, now they say it's got to go. it's not partisan enough. and they know

. >> well, i'll tell you, scott brown obviously lost that race. with john to state, scott walker's probably going to run in june, they could be serving together, what do you think about that? >> she knocked him out like manny pacquiao got knocked out, so forget that. she beat him down this last race, trust me. >> barack obama dealt the knockout blow. it wasn't this candidate, she was a very, very weak candidate by any standard. she's beloved by progressives but she won because barack obama was at the top of the ticket, let's get real. >> scott brown has a 58% favorability rating, it's likely he's the republican nominee and very like live he goes back to the senate. all's fair in love and war. they're going to be colleagues in the senate. if that's true, they'll get over it. >> when she loses, play that tape of pacquiao getting knocked down, say that's scott brown. >> margaret's right, scott brown's still popular in massachusetts. >> but he lost. >> despite that he's a republican. >> number four rivalry, paul ryan versus marco rubio, the republican party alr

steve, massachusetts will also have a special election most likely in spring after john kerry's expected confirmation. and scott brown with a command been lead in a lot of the polls. can any democrat give him a run for his money? >> i think so. i think several members have talked about running. it's a very democratic state. i think the republican party brand is at an all-time low. by the time we get to the special election in march or april, it will probably be lower based on the performance this week, so i think we'll have a real good shot. the white house and party are going to commit to do whatever they can to make sure we're competitive. >> can i respond quickly? >> very quickly. >> scott brown is a different kind of republican, very moderate. most massachusetts individuals really like him a lot. his only downfall is he was running for reelection in a heavy presidential year. >>> a major turning point for the housing market. we'll have that next. >>> president george h.w. bush is in guarded condition. a family spokesman says his doctors are cautiously optimistic. he's alert, talking with his family, but a f
