you get that that's from karl rove's group and it was wildly taken out of context i want to back and watch this guy's original speech first of all he's the lawyer for the n.e.a. it was his retirement speech and what he was saying is we're we're great advocates for the kids were great advocates for the schools were great advocates we've been able to succeed all these years in in maintaining a brilliant public schools is that because we have the power of unity and yet karl rove has turned this around into something nasty this is ultimately right now democracy is on a knife's edge you seen it was constantly seen all over the country are we going to flip into a corporate controlled world where the republican senators from wisconsin do their dirty work and then come to d.c. and get lavished with cash or are we going to go back to a real democracy where we the people rule and the government is organized of by and for we the people. it's time for our daily poll your chance to tell us what you think here's today's question the weekend's protests in wisconsin was the largest in history surpas

because they had another candidate they prefer so he may be confusing god and karl rove well that happens a lot to republicans i know it does but i can tell you this scott walker is easy political animal he reads holes he consumes media about politics if you look at it co called for a while back he was going through all the media coverage going out the truth of the matter is scott walker is cornered right now he's looking for a way to win this fight he doesn't want to back down there's no doubt of that but he's feeling a lot of pressure that's why his press conference today was so over the top and i think it says that if the democrats fold up for a bit longer they may yet they may yet be able to bend the arc of history and it might be god that scott walker is listening to eat might actually have to listen to some republicans in the state senate who say this is going too far well from your lips to god's ears and slits let's hope that works that way john nichols thanks so much for being with us tonight from madison it's great to be with you top again thanks for all your great covera

is making that bet i hope he's wrong i have a hard time betting against karl rove though he's usually you disagree with these thing or learned here we better damn well get out and vote in the next election twenty percent fewer voters in wisconsin in two thousand and ten than in two thousand but you've got all the cross the country you've got in states where people do you know try to make it harder and harder for people on top of that just about everybody ought to get out that's the best but i think really any over the last few weeks thousands of people around the country have protested corporations dodging taxes as part of the make wall street a and us uncut movements or so we've been watching mainstream you. as you wouldn't know that because the networks aren't covering instead of covering the n.p.r. controversy as in the show a complete bias in the media that they choose to focus on right wing talking points about one crazy and now fired it in p.r. rather than real problems like corporations avoiding paying billions and axes while we're in the middle of the fiscal cliff this is usa

country and the fewest number of uninsured children in the country however experts like experts like karl rove are saying romney would have to distance himself from the plan to have a chance with republicans that should tell you how backwards the situation is over there yeah something that you should be proud of by all means then turn into something that you have to completely deny but you know what else i find frustrating personally as a woman i guess you could say is that sarah palin and michele bachmann are really the only ones involved here they're the only presentation and i'm just wondering where is the republican hillary clinton you know do they have some kind of aversion to smarter women. yeah this is a fascinating topic i have anti sexist expert jackson cats who writes for huffington post on my show recently he said the reason women like michele bachmann and sarah palin are actually popular among white men who tend to vote for republicans is that they themselves subscribe to some of the same sexist massaging as added pseuds that may be typical of the white standard republican voter th

and buying habits and they're all selling that information to political machines like that run by karl roveto help elect mostly republican politicians who keep adding more and more power and money over to these corporations increasingly we're not only economically addicted to war but to the security state as well a security state that will become even more powerful and more profitable if peter king can scare the hell out of enough of us welcome to all the stocks of these brave new world synthesised with george orwell's big brother. remember what's going on around the country is not just about the unions it's about who really runs our democracy is that you and me are the core corporate oligarchy and peter king is doing his part to distract us all from that truth let's not let fear tear us apart we need to be united today with our muslim brothers and sisters to take on the real threat to america the corporate buyout of our commons in particular the most important of our commons our elected officials themselves that's the big picture for more information on the stories we covered this in our w

of the greats of international football and they'll be pitted against the team from what runs on karl rove he's got an international team south occluding some german football stars so this is all good news and it's a sign that stability has returned to the region the brazilian football team like this is willing to come and play a much here of course closely and chechnya more familiar in the international headlines with a lot more serious subjects rather late ninety's into the two thousands this area was rocked by warfare and just five years ago was knee itself had been absolutely flattened so it's perhaps a sign that some of our reconstruction efforts going on here child had an affair after today of course march the eighth is women's day marked all over russia uncle out of the female fans there will be having bunches of flowers to sing for a strange. national here behind me they are so so much of friendliness a lot of resilience players here today reportedly not charging your fees to try to play sinister is a friendship between church and brazil which is quite fun zinser out earlier just t

oh yeah here's my answer to you know do these corporations really need help the yes they do and karl rove and the u.s. chamber of commerce are going to be rushing to their aid next year to get as many. republicans look as. recently sure of arizona's own rambo sheriff joe arpaio displayed a massive show of force when he executed a search warrant phoenix on a homeowner suspected of. this is a rapid take a look at this. this was the scene in book read two weeks ago armored vehicles a swat team riot gear all part of a raid. on an alleged cockfighting ring and right all of this against an unarmed man and his chickens now there are reports that are all of this of so the steven seagal could get some good scenes for his new law enforcement reality show on in fact seagal was seen riding in one of the tanks so what should our pio have done in this situation here some possible answers ate nothing but the roosters do their thing be reacting. ruby react like any rational law enforcement officer and send in a few cops to investigate. c. call the pentagon for air support from fighter jets and tanks what

that kind of -- that is the -- that is the most base karl rove-type politics that turn working class people one against another. it's -- it's wrong, it's morally wrong, it's politically wrong, and it's very wrong for our country. now, what's also been interesting about these protests, they are not all steelworkers and electricians steelworkers and electricians and american federation ofvern government employees and afscme. there are a lot of people that have been involved in this. i did a roundtable and a fiscal church right off statehouse square and the leaders of the church and some of the volunteers from the church where theyl ch are and they know thatt of mythe belief and i don't preh or where up my sleep byot christianity but they understand the bible talks a lot about poverty and a lot about fairness and equality and egalitarianism if you will, and for them to go workers on behalf of the richest people in our countryth and that is really what they are doing in the covers and the office and medicine and treatment other t places runs t counter least to my faith. i'm not going to
