tough questions today from senator lindsey graham, republican of centimeter to the homeland securityecretary. >> my experience with the secret service is very similar to what senator leahy said. basically it's the time i traveled with senator mccain during the last presidential the election and i'm very impressed by the people, very hard-working, a lot of time away from families and long hours. so just as any time you have military discipline problems you don't want to paint with a broad brush the 99% and let's start with that baseline. >> i concur. >> but just like in the military, and other situation systems obviously filled in and obviously there's a system failure here. the likelihood that this was the first and only time that such behavior occurred, do you think that's great or not so great? >> well, i think part of our investigation is confirming that this was an aberration or not. but i agree with you, senator, the secret service does a marvelous job. i've worked closely with them. >> the only reason i suggest we may need to look harder we're lucky to find out about this. ther

he's with joe lieberman and mccane and lindsey graham and that crowd. when you saw them together, it looked like he was too young and i think too callow to be the vice president of the united states. i think romney will go with someone that is perceived as heavier and older and the primary consideration. can he be president of the united states on a notice moments. >> does the bomb make him look even younger? you understand the question? >> the bomb? >> the big bomb. >> you mine the hydrogen bomb? >> yeah. does it make him look younger? >> when i saw him there alongside romney and you see him speak, you say is this fellow ready to be commander and chief and control the nuclear arsenal and i would say not yet. >> he's junior varsity. he's a talented guy. he is running for something. he's got his biography out. he's hired a private detector to invest his own background to make sure he knows all the skeletons are out there. i don't think he's running for vice president i think he's running for 2016. >> he is 40 years old. how old was jefferson when he ran?

by the way, senator lindsey graham has done a tremendous job in that area, which i hope would send a message that the united states is going to be there in a strategic partnership with afghanistan in 2014 and beyond. but every time the president announced another withdrawal, his military commander said it increases the risk. that's what we're seeing here. >> schieffer: i want to shift to the other side of the world because you're just back from the syrian border. you were in turkey. you talked to people over there. syrian army this morning we're told is again shelling the city of homs. when you had a little news conversation over there with our isa ward, you said something-- i unit of the to play what you told her. >> well, i think it was a failure from the start. most of us knew because there was no pressure for bashar al-assad to actually stop the killing. so we think it's going to require military action on the ground. in order to get him to leave. >> schieffer: so i want to give you a chance to talk about that. >> sure, absolutely. >> schieffer: are you talking about sending amer

endorsements from bobby jindal, florida governor rick scott, pennsylvania governor, pat toomey, lindsey graham and terry branstad. joining us by phone is msnbc and "time" magazine senior political analyst mark halpern, co-author of the book "game change." how are you? >> thank you, luke. those are timely endorsements. the train is leaving the station. >> that's right. get on board. rick santorum bows out of the race. why do that now and what does that mean going forward? >> he wasn't totally clear about why. i think family considerations and the strains on his family that have been evident for a while and he was in danger of losing pennsylvania. a lot of people believe any of the gains he had made as a national figure could have been undermined if he had been first or one of the first to lose his homestate in the primary. the timing worked for him. the math did not. he still will be a major player now if he consolidates what he does at the convention in tampa and beyond. >> let's talk about that rick santorum was able to garner enthusiasm about the anybody but romney crowd eventually becoming

case and this is practically official policy as proposed by senators john mccain joe lieberman lindsey graham john kyl john haven and also while also blessed by we have a very large vested interest in seeing syria really into our growth of the world we've only got thirty seconds say despite all these grid news that if you're outlining there let's try to look at one of the positives russia has been doing an awful lot to try and keep the talking going throughout all this the opposition delegation has been in moscow again today describe the talks is very positive are we seeing some genuine efforts on the rebels' part to end the bloodshed. i don't think so i think that the rebels have now realize that their chances. options are much more limited so they're going to have to act accordingly as i see russia has a very important balance and that was the old formula much to the aggravation of you know. is the rule in other countries or the rebels i was going to help with that because they are puppets of the western powers and trying to destroy syria. good to see you thank you very much for being on th

. >> it was lindsey graham who said yesterday the dislike for the current president is the great motivator here. romney can almost take that as a given. rick tyler, we talk about who is -- who's a candidate we all like, certainly gingrich, newt gingrich, has given us a lot of lod fodder for discussion. the idea of favorables is an interesting statistic to unpack. abc/"the washington post" poll shows that romney's favorable rating is 35%, unfavorable rating 47%. the president, 56% favorable rating. unfavorable rating of 40%. now, i have to quote the "wall street journal" here, and they say, plenty of americans thought president carter was a good and decent man, too. by election day mr. reagan persuade him his rival wasn't up to the job. mr. romney already has vote of those who dislike mr. obama. the vote his needs are there for the asking. folks who like mr. obama but have serious doubts about his leadership as president. does that mean favorables don't matter? >> favorables do matter but people's individual situations are going to matter. mitt romney's done well thing well in the election,

later, it's as if the more hawkish members of his party think lindsey graham and john mccain got to himsaying, no, no, no, you can't have an artificial timetable. you can't pull these folks back too soon. so he has been walking a line here that strikes me as, one that, he is aware of the war fatigue out there and that's bipartisan, by the way, across the board, and at the same time he has advisers who are very much more of the neoconservative line of thinking when it comes to afghanistan and all of these international conflicts. >> and, john meacham, obviously right now lbj back in the news. all over the place because -- >> "newsweek." >> "the new yorker" and "the new york times" magazine. mika's magazine, as the kids are calling it in the streets right now. but you compare 1968 and a war that just went terribly wrong with 2012 and a war that's going terribly wrong. there's such a huge disconnect. that failed war pulled lbj out of the race. this war that just keeps dragging on and on is not even a second thought for most americans. >> well, i'm going to vastly, vastly oversimplify this

and if you can look at the live picture, she's being asked similar questions by the republican lindsey grahamin her answer. it was interesting. the way she answered was in the two and a half years that she has been there, the office of public responsibility, where anybody would call to report a tip of bad behavior, they have not received complaints. she made a point saying there had been 900 trips internationally and 1300 do mesically. nothing on the record to say it happened. very careful to answer that question that there's nothing on the record. it doesn't answer the question of whether or not it happened. >> we'll check if with you later. >>> in chicago, a trial resumes for the man accused of murdering jennifer hudson's family. he's charged with killing her mother, brother and nephew. >>> a former aid to john edwards back on the stand today. he may be cross examined. andrew young has been spilling intimate details about his bosses secret love life. he used large amounts of campaign contributions to hide his affair. here is joe johns. >> reporter: with andrew young on the stand, is the for

senator lindsey graham pointed that out. >> we're lucky to find out about this. if that had been an argument between one of the agent and i guess a prostitute for lack of a better word about money we probably would have never known about this. >> reporter: now there is information a new prostitution scandal may be brewing a reporter for a cbs affiliate in seattle, washington spoke to a u.s. government subcontractor on a trip to san salvador with the president in 2011. he claims to have been agent a group of secret service agents at a strip club before president obama ace arrival. members of the secret service advance team received sexual favors while at the club and two took escorts back to their hotel. agents told the subcontractor and did it all the time and not to worry about it. when asked about the latest allegation, the secret service spokesman told fox news quote, the recent investigation in cartegna has generated several news stories that contain allegations from unname sources of the any information at that brought to our thanks that can be assessed as c

straitjacket you can imagine making sure spending caps are not done away with the i'm not even sure lindsey graham could get 67 votes on most items, and so real spending enforcement. second, i have to tell you, i disagree with the president on the idea that if we are going to do on the revenue side that we can solve this problem with only getting more revenues from the very top one or 2%. i believe that this is a national crisis, a special we all have to step up. i think i have to step up in a more responsible way, someone who is not even the top two, maybe even higher percent, but i think there's something wrong with 47% of americans don't pay any federal income tax. .. >> but i think there's more to be done in the entitlement area. um, particularly around health care. we have to be a little more open to ideas that are a bit more controversial, and, you know, the one thing that simpson-bowles had that none of the subsequent other plans included, i guess, just because it was too, too radioactive, um, but i'm still all in with the budget plan that would include let's get a fix on social security as

you sent us lindsey graham. shame on you. >> i never sent you him. i have never voted for him.nt asks us to but it doesn't do any good. >> i hope the people of south carolina will join you in sinneding somebody better. deborah from chico, california. >> hi, bill. >> hi. >> yeah. i totally agree. i watched the sunday morning shows a lot, and they always have a lot more republican view points and the other thing is, is even when they do have say, one progressive thinker and one right-wing tea party person they never allow the progressive person to finish a thought. they are very aggressive on the right. they dominate the time. they interrupt. they talk over people. >> the moderator doesn't do a good job of making sure -- theysay let him finish. they don't do that. i always thought they tilted right. i had no idea until this fair study came out how right-wing they really, really are. >> this is the bill press show. ♪ that. >>jennifer granholm joins current tv. a former two term governor. >>people like somebody who's got a spine. >>determined to find solutions... >>we need governme

they probably do not in most people's estimation out ranked senator john mccain or senator lindsey graham, who also met with members of the muslim brotherhood or deputy secretary of state bill burns, who met with the members. our policy is clear and the sentiment which is in the aftermath of egypt's revolution, we have broadened our engagement to include new and emerging political parties and actors. it is a fact egypt's political landscape has changed and the actors have become more diverse. our engagement reflects that. the point that -- is the point is that we will judge -- the point is we will judge egypt's political actors how that act, not by their religious affiliation. >> did the officials stress the muslim brotherhood to -- press them on their plan for the camp david accord to a referendum which would effectively kill the treaty? >> it is part of our conversations with all that diverse an emerging political actors in egypt. our belief and the need for egypt to abide by its treaty with israel, and broadly by its international obligations, and that was part of this conversation. >>

it was john mccain and lindsey graham who led an effort to find a bipartisan approach that was along the same lines as simpson-my solely. we're going to find a way to take those who are here and act in both a humane and practical fashion, and we're going to find ways to tighten up on the borders. we're also, by the way, going to enhance legal immigration because that's been the basic reason that this country is as great as it is today that they don't have in europe or japan or other places. and you look at a rick perry, not your idea of a raving liberal. basically thrown totally on the defensive because as a practical matter as a governor with the long border with mexico, he tried to come up with some way of making sure that you educated illegals who happen to be in texas. that as much as anything drove him down from a strong position in the race. you look at even the attacks that newt gingrich got when he talked about, well, maybe the grandmothers who are here, we can find a way maybe not to leave the citizenship, but at least to legality. and that came under siege. and then you loo
