liz cheney, he didn't mention this, liz cheney lived in mclane, virginia, moved back to wyoming lastto run against mike enzi. it is going to be a pretty nasty and certainly for mike enzi very expensive primary. he's never had a race like this before. my guess is, andrea, one other point. liz cheney is going to raise plenty of money outside wyoming. two, there's only so much money you can raise in wyoming. both of them if they want to run big campaigns we expect they are going to be looking elsewhere, including washington, d.c. for funds. >> we have to live it there, chris cillizza, ruth marcus, thank you both very much. >>> one year since superstorm sandy made landfall devastating communities in new york, new jersey, connecticut. congressman chris smith from new jersey will be joining me to share how his district is still rebuilding, still recovering. >>> one year ago today the storm was barreling up the east coast. here is a look back at lester holt reporting on "nightly news" as millions were bracing for its impact. >> the wind is howling. just over my shoulder the roiling chesapea

again, it shows the power of the tea party which basically now enzi and liz cheney are going to fightecu. >> i wonder if in any way dick cheney and the brand are cowed by the potential defeat of his daughter in the senate race that stoked a lot of flames in the party. does dick cheney feel bad at the end of the day? >> i don't think he's capable of feeling bad. he started a war. >> your kids are always fighting about something. >> i wonder how much he really encouraged her to do this. i know cheney a bit. i'm not entirely sure. >> we'll see. >> okay. >> if father knows best. we know he doesn't know best. thank you to david howard and margaret. that is all for now. i'll see you back at noon eastern when i'm joined by michael steele, ezra klein, aclu and vogue's editor-at-large.

i love liz cheney but why should we have a primary against a good republican senator other than for liz's more conservative. >> no. she isn't. >> i don't want get into specifics. >> but that is the point. there are problems we're not concentrating we're allowing shysters to take advantage of the republican party. >> she's in the a shyster. >> you're right. you've got to win to have power. >> yes. >> but they're also needs to be principle driving things. >> yes. >> every single republican ran on repealing obama care. >> yes. >> ted cruz rand paul, they stand up, their fulfilling their promise, and corker and mccain, and peter king are slamming them for doing what they told their constituents they would do. >> yes. >> that ticks me off. >> i agree and goes that way which is why i don't want the conservative republicans to do what the establishment does, that is every time republicans lose, whatever reason, somehow it's the pro lifers get blamed. wait a minute. what did we do? i mean it's varies from race to race and conman to conman. concentrate on winning. democrats have crazier members

told me dick cheney has three people he really trusts in the world and all their last names are cheney, lynn, lizry cheney. they are a tight-knit family, supportive of each other and sometimes distrustful of outsiders. it caused a rift in politics, his friend al simpson, there's some consternation. you mentioned liz cheney and tea party. it's an interesting balance she's trying to have here. she's trying to ride the tea party wave with her focus on domestic issues but she herself is more conservative. her father never big on democracy issue, that's something liz cheney feels passionately about. not much of an issue in this campaign. >> do bush and cheney communicate. >> they have a proper relationship, appropriate relationship but they are not buddies. they don't spend a a lot of time on the phone together. last time in april when president bush opened his library. he was gracious to vice president cheney from the stage. it was interesting that vice president cheney didn't have a speaking role, condi rice did. if you went inside the library after the ceremony what you saw were a lot of pictures a

cheney. he'll be here with us in our next hour. his daughter lizllenging the incumbent republican senator in wyoming. cheney set the record straight yesterday. he was on the sunday morning show talking about who his friends are and talking about fundraising. >> mike also said he and i are fishing buddies which is not true. never happened. the fact of the matter is washington will not elect the next senator from wyoming the people from wyoming will elect. you go back and review his finances he gets 84% of his campaign funds from washington based p.a.c.s. that's more than any senator of either party. he doesn't get much money from wyoming. liz got 25% of her funds from wyoming he got 13% of his from wyoming. >> he's not my fishing buddy. what's going on in this race. does liz cheney closing any ground here? >> seizure is. people in wyoming say that it's a small state, unpredictable electorate. she could win. she's going to have more money. very surprising here. this is by far the toughest, the vice president has been in anything he's said publicly du

here with reaction her first national television interview liz cheney.ly supporting and endorsing, only if it helps you. >> thank you, sean. great to be back. i'm honored to have your endorsement. >> we need strong people that will fight. i want a republican party with no pale pastels but bold colors. this seems like a big issue for republicans. do you suspect when the president and the speeches in 2003, 2007 and so on when he said canada didn't start immediately with a single payer system. they had a similar transition step. >> yeah. >> do you suspect what i do? >> i think you're exactly right, sean. one thing about the president is he often tells us what he's thinking. people spend a lot of time trying to guess what his motive is. he told us. he said repeatedly, time and again that we'd have to transition to single payer as we watch the complete train wreck of the roll out of obama care you have seen liberal democrats, his allies saying,en this is what we need to do is move to a single payer system. the president believes this nation needs to have more

>> liz cheney. >> liz cheney.aughter of dick cheney, so this was what we teased earlier, had this question in the game show yesterday, she sent a fund-raising letter out on tuesday saying that liberal republican senators like john mccain and olympia snowe, former senator, have endorsed my opponent, talking about republican incumbent mike enzi. we must be doing something right if these folks are fighting so hard to preserve the status quo. dick cheney this week, her father, the dick cheney media tour week, on abc this morning. >> he's got the book. >> he's got the book. he'll be on morning joe tomorrow morning. he'll be sitting -- i think he'll be here, he'll be on morning joe, i think in the studio at 7:20 tomorrow morning. this is sort of cheney re-emergence week. >> not only cheney re-emergence week. let's examine the statement for a moment. all the conservative boxes checked, never done anything that deserves to be -- to get fired for, not only have they endorsed him, everybody else in the senate endorsed him.

but there's a much more interesting dynamic happening out there, which is that liz cheney is trying tocheney is trying to kind of cast her as that -- she's the grass roots tea party candidate against the washington establishment of mike enzi. but liz cheney is not a tea partier. she is a neo con, and they're very different wings of the conservative movement and you're seeing them collide and it's going to be fascinating to watch it play out. >> let's hope nobody goes shooting. thank you both. >>> coming up, republicans would love everyday to be a glitch-filled groundhog day. fortunately, the president has another agenda. >> some people have poked fun at me this week for sounding like an insurance sales mapp. and that's okay. i would still be out there championing this law, even if the website were perfect. >> i sell insurance. >> what a shock. >> do you have life insurance? because if you do, you can always use a little more. am i right or am i right or am i right? right, right, right. ♪ here we go yo ♪ so what's the scenario americans take care of business. they always have. they alwa

so let's all cheer for liz cheney.t sounds great. >> it's incredibly disheartening and this is why the tea party has control of the agenda because it all comes down to winning elections. you see moderate republicans aren't willing to step up when deep down i'm sure dick cheney has issues with the tea party, they are more concerned about their own election or daughter's election. >> the fringe controls the debate. >> this true but it's incredibly dangerous place for any organization to be. something i often talk about is the future of the republican party, something i care a lot about. i talk to folks all the time, young people, about the party. they will always say, i don't fit in today. it's the extreme right that really has control of the narrative. some that dick cheney said caught my attention. he said we have an obligation within the party to pass leadership to the next generation. what he seems to be missing when he says the tea party is actually a good thing for the party, is that the upcoming generation is very

. >>> and on the republican side, liz cheney is giving incumbent mike enzi a run for his money.d 100,000 more than her primary opponent. >>> governor chris christie is a staying consistent in opposing same-sex marriage. how he would react to one of his children coming out gay. >> if my children came to me and said that they were gay, i would grab them and hug them and tell them i loved them. just like i would do with any of my children who came to me with news that they wanted to give to me that they thought was important enough to open themselves up in that way. but what i would also tell them is that dad believes that marriage is between one man and one woman. >> the governor is currently appealing a court ruling that found a constitutional right to same-sex marriage. his opponent staays he's on the wrong side of history. >>> in an effort to shelf some book books, riley hunt ser is apologizing and hurt everyone around her. >>> president obama is opening up about the coolest part of his job. it's not riding on air force one, living in the white house or even that presidential l

gingrich you are ripping off the republican party for your own self aggrandizement she loves you with liz cheney todd akin and mark sanford as enemies of the g.o.p. how do you react. well that's kind of weird. i help leaders to the first republican majority in the house in forty years i helped develop with bill clinton the first four of the only four balanced budgets in her lifetime we helped pass welfare reform how to thought all those when it counted against the number of books she sold but you know people got to go out and say something to sell books and she's found her schtick and it's attacking conservatives and being sort of the odd person out so you know life's like that i don't know i don't worry about it much i worry about how do we develop ideas to break out from where we are today not how do we argue with people like that and speaking of books your wife calista wonderful lady has a new book out called yankee doodle dandy and i'm going to relate this to the current situation that my book deals with the american revolution the founding fathers how do you think they would react to what's

and this one i am dying to call out liz cheney for the overweight fat pig she is. this guy has an issue. dana perino you were a gleaming hope for dumb, blonde air heads everywhere. finally he makes some sense. speaking of gleaming hope. >> make him turn his head. >> come on. >> obviously that dog was designed by obamacare. we will be right back. lori, i am asking a question to try and concentrate. he tweets -- >> it is probably not a good probing question, but try your best. you didn't even give me an intro. when did you kiss off intros? >> we will start the show all over again. lori, this guy tweets nasty stuff about everybody, but seems to be holed up on problems with women's weight and looks. >> he is a massage nighs, absolutely. it is too bad the guy is racist and super official and saying nasty, useless things because clearly he has the guts to speak his mind. frankly we could use a little honesty and productive feedback and insight into this administration it is very opaque the way they conduct business. >> opaque is a good word. >> cane say something? i don'

the question is, does that pass down to liz cheney? does liz cheney have that same touch?s tough and has a life touch at the same time. it's the interesting combination that he'll knife you very quietly. he doesn't do it. it's not allowed a loud. it's not what ted cruz does, chuck schumer, same thing. this islight touch he has. the question i have in that race if liz cheney got the ability to be wyoming, oout wyoming enzi. that's clearly. >> that's going to be tough. >> that's going to be tough. yes, she grew up there as a kid, a virginia girl as she grew up. so it's going to be, i think that's her challenge. >> all righty, chuck, we will see you coming up on the daily rundown, thank you very much. >> maybe you could run for senator in idaho or something like that. >> you are funny, aren't you? >> sun valley. sun valley. >> sun valley. >> there you go. >> they love new sun valley, by the way. >> a spot in idaho. >> richard, thank you. >> thank you, richard. the website is locking great. >> msnbc.com. >> how is it? >> it's fabulous. what is it? >> i go to it 12 times a day.

i'm dying to call out liz cheney. and dana, you were such a gleaming hope for dumb blonde airheads everywhere. joseph tweeted this vieter may be a bit freaked out. >> ten years ago, you didn't have these postings and people living their life online outside of work. >> reporter: in one tweet, joseph blasted the website politico for self-promotion tendencies. but it was to politico that joseph e-mailed his apology to, quote, everyone i insulted saying the twitter handle began as a parody of d.c. culture. >> what do you think? do you think the white house tweeter should have been fired? let me know on twitter. you can follow me. >>> up next, exclusive new information about an al qaeda connection to the benghazi terror attacks. >>> but first, here's what some of our fox affiliates across the country are covering tonight. phoenix with word this week that for the first time, a majority of people surveyed in a gallup poll favored the legalization of recreational marijuana. >>> this is a live look at fenway park in boston. we

dick cheney's daughter, liz cheney is challenging wyoming senator mike enzee in that republican primaryally trying to grab onto the tea party momentum and fehr ver that you and i were talking about and dick cheney talking about the tea party is a good thing, spending has been very bad. plays into her argument. but dick cheney when he was vice president during the george w. bush administration said deficits don't matter. there is kind of a different view, deficits and debt and spending when you're in the office and out of office. >> mark murray, thanks. appreciate it. we want to bring in congressman chris van hollen of maryland and former chairman of the democratic national committee. sir, it's great to have you. and the republicans took a bit hit politically during the shutdown and now that we have all of the issues and more tangible evidence of the glitches with the website itself, it's galvanized the republican party against the aca and as if to distract from what the law is meant to do. john mccain had this to say yesterday. take a listen. >> it's been a fee asco, send air force out
