sort of winning the iowa caucuses which means nobody won, with a bribery scandal related to the michele bachmann campaign, embroiling the manager for mitch mcconnell's campaign. when everything went wrong for iowa republicans in 2012 it was a mess in 2012. when that happened, as soon as their role in 2012 was over they flubbed it and the republican party in iowa basically collapsed. the folks who took it over after the collapse, it was not the social conservatives who dominated the state party for so long. it was not main stream republicans. the it was not the astroturf corporate funded tea party party groups that took over in some other states. no. in iowa, when the iowa republican party collapsed after 2012 when they screwed up the election so badly, the folks who took over the republican party were the ron paul people. on the one hand, you know what? it's just one state. who cares what faction or another is running any one political party in any one state. on the other hand, who controls the republican party there says you have to determine cowboys rode dinosaurs. here's the thing to watch no

make no mistake, justice will deun. -- will be done. >> michelle bachmann says it's one thing to say something, it's quite another to actually do something, and i know congresswoman we have chatted about this before, known as no drama obama and a squall a lot of peopled a -- a quality a lot of people admired but sometimes it begs emotion and we're not seeing it. >> no, because in issue after issue, and one of these incidents after another one, we never see the president actually go and fix the problem. that's all people care about. it really reminds me of the days of former president clinton when he would say issue feel your pain and that was supposed to make us feel so great. but where does the veteran go who is on a delayed waiting list when the bureaucracies quickly trying to cover it rear end and the president of the united states is mad. he is always shocked, shocked, when these things come up. it's pretty easy to predict. bureaucracy always looks out for itself. it's number one. it promotes itself. it covers itself up. and this is one of the worst bureaucracies that there is wh

and minnesota congresswoman michele bachmann. she is a former republican presidential candidated on founder of the tea party caucus on the house side. first of all, you are both mothers, our special thanks today for taking the time to be with us and congresswoman bachmann, i know you just had eye surgery, too, so a double thank you to you for showing up this morning and helping us out. let me start with the other piece of news that has been through out the week, one of the things we've focused on, and that is the missing nigerian schoolchildren. are either of you satisfied with the extent, whatever extent that is, that the obama administration has reacted to that? let's start with you, congresswoman bachmann? >> well, this is something that didn't come out now. boko haram is on the run and on the rise for years. i put a letter out several years ago calling for a crackdown on the boko haram. it is a foreign terrorist organization. it's important that the united states designates it as such as it is now. we root out terrorism where

it's like the michele bachmanns of the world who are embarrassed to be birthers but not embarrassed enough over this. john boehner knew it would be freak time, you know, 24/7 once he let this select committee get started. now it's like he can't hold back the tide anymore. so on with the show. >> because of an e-mail that outlines the administration would like to convey the u.s. is doing everything we can to protect our people and families. the second, to underscore these protests, something the cia initially suggested, and to show the administration will bring these people to justice. the thing is is there's nothing there. it's the same information. it's just indignation that information had not been earlier releasing releasinged. >> one is, did the administration cover something up. the second is, what happened with our intelligence? and the third is, have we made the changes to security to make sure this doesn't happen again. the manipulation of the talking points is sort of the least significant. and yet that has gotten 95% of the focus in this entire controversy. did the political offi

and how's this for some new blood, congresswoman michele bachmann will be in attendance. 9-9-9 anyoneerman cain, will be there. but the failed presidential candidates keep on coming. nothing says change like rick santorum, rick perry and, yes, newt gingrich all on stage. and all the way from texas, mr. filibuster, he's a proven leader. he led his party to their worst approval ratings ever. he's ted cruz, and no leadership team is complete without the birther king himself. yes, donald trump is change you can believe in. you know him, you love him, say hello to dennis desousa, the anti-obama filmmaker who just pled guilty to campaign finance violations. he's there. but the all star of this team is "duck dynasty" star phil robertson, straight from making derogatory comments about gays and african-americans, he's ready to lead the gop. ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for the 2014 republican leadership team. >> i don't want to make people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money. i want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money and provide for thems

remember when michele bachmann was running for president, she suffers from headaches. they throw these nuggets out there. they do this all the time. >> eric, isn't it a legitimate question about someone's health? >> i think what karl did was purposeful and brilliant. >> every presidential candidate for as long as i can remember is are you healthy enough to run? >> karl is brilliant. i think he gets a little too much credit for being strategic on some of these things. >> this is a wonderful topic for the media because basically on the freeway to hick's -- hillary's failures, this is an off ramp on how petty the opposition is, when you can be focusing on benghazi. you don't need to talk about this. >> let me just say -- >> till later perhaps. >> jay carney who is now the press secretary who used to work for "time" magazine and was a bureau chief. he shot back at karl today. this was from february 4, 2008 on time magazine, when he wrote, carney wrote about mccain. he has suffered skin cancers over the years, not to mention brutal physical torture as a prisoner of war his

they look at michele bachmann, that is where the money should go. >> that happened.uld see fundraising boost after each one of them. now i will utter words i never thought i would say in my entire life until the day i die. neil: barack obama should go to jail? >> no, i agree with pat buchanan. neil: you can do better than that. >> romney came out of that well. we would all miss the clown show if it stops. neil: are we overdoing it? >> the party has to be aware of the fact it may be perceived as pushing a long and the establishment candidate, the main man. coming up in this race you will have rand paul and ted cruz and maybe ben carson a sort of the outlier candidates, and these are the ones who really benefit dramatically from the debate. remember herman cain 999? the party has got to watch that it is not trying to stifle these folks. neil: it'l it would be like geoe bush senior trying to avoid any encounter with you or any establishment. any notoriety given to the candidate rob's the leader of the limelight. >> look what george hw bush did after he won iowa in 1980,

it happened to michele bachmann. the media asked her about her migraines.unning as a cancer survivor, but his cancer would had returned and he died a few years later. so these questions are relevant. the other issue becomes will the media handle every other liberal or democrat who runs like an elizabeth warren hypothetically in the same fashion. jon: some of these raised as republican strategist, nbc's chief white house correspondent writing into the rescue with this, says the fact is she is the same age as reagan was be at you may have to be throwing your own guy, ronald reagan, under the bus a little bit. this is a dangerous, tricky road to go down. at the same time, judy, senator obama when he was campaigning against john mccain in 2008 when john mccain was 71 said for him to toss out comments like that, it is an example of him losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination. it seems like there may be different standards of male versus female candidates and maybe democrats versus republicans. >> the democrats tried to use it against him. they tried to

i know michele bachmann famously said we were not. but i would like to hear from you. if you want to talk about whether you think hillary will run and if anyone can beat her, inquiring minds want to know. 2008, whoever had won the democratic primary probably would have won the general election. in that sense, i think the country was ready for a woman president. if you look at the credentials of the leading female presidential candidate right now, former first lady, senator from new york, secretary of state. i am not sure what higher credentials or what more you esumeon a resident -- r to be prepared to be president. i think the country is ready. my colleague just wrote a book on hillary clinton. i asked him if she is running and what his take was. he said the question is not whether she is running. the question is whether she will stop running. [laughter] she is essentially running for president now. that gets into the big challenge for her, which is what dog her in 2008. she does best when she is the underdog. if she has the front runner status and is walking into it

. >> the attacks were uglier from congresswoman michele bachmann. sadly, president obama still refuses to take responsibility for his own administration's incompetence. and john mccain chimed in saying, the scandal required, quote, much more from president obama, including his sustained attention and hands-on leadership, which has been too-short supply in recent weeks. problems at v.a. have existed for years. under presidents of both parties. the president's facing this crisis. republicans should do the same. they're not trying to score political points while they do it. joining me now is jackie speier, democrat of california. she also serves on the house armed services committee. congresswoman, thank you first of all for being here. >> my pleasure. >> what is your reaction for how republicans are handling this crisis? >> the republicans are quick to attack but not quick to solve problems. and that has been their motes operandi for years. as you pointed out, this issue about delays in appointments at v.a. hospitals has been going on since 2005. the

audienced were subjected to donald trump, phil robertson, michele bachmann, ted cruz parade i paradingthe mics with no new ideas, none, zero. the only dish that was served, a cold heaping of obama bashing. >> before i even get to obamacare, which is a disaster. >> it begins with an o and ends with a bamacare. >> there's more lies by the president than any human being i think i have been seeing. >> we don't have leadership based upon character in our country. it definitely is not at 1600 pennsylvania. >> this maybe not only the most liberal, the most incompetent president. >> all right, i will admit, maybe i missed something. let's give this another try. let's cue the new gop ideas. that's what i thought. my panel is back with me. joining us, i'm going to start with you. there were no new ideas. if you it was the same old let's bash president obama fest. >> the 2016 republican agenda is we hate obama. in 2018 we might get we hate hillary. in 2005 when i worked for harry reid, we kept going out and had a positive agenda. we talked about energy independence and had general agreement. they

alice stew wrart is a former adviser to the presidential campaigns of mike huckabee, michelle bachmann and rick santorum. we've got to go to alice first. it's an inside game for you. my question is, how does this thing work? if tillis wins, does he bring the tea partier wing, does he bring in the christian right? do they all join him for the general against kay haguen? or is this going to be a schism in the party that lasts? >> no. he will unite them just as he has done as speaker. the fact that he's labelled as the establishment candidate he thinks is kind of amusing. he reminds me, and reminds everyone, that he used to be pta president just eight years ago. he's certainly not the establishment candidate of the gop. he's not only the support and endorsement of jeb bush and other strong republicans, but also he's got tea party support, the nra, the national right to life and other social organizations. he has already brought them into the fold as speaker in north carolina. and he certainly would plan to do so if he were to win the nomination tomorrow. >> it's interesting. you make your

yes, that was michele bachmann on the haulmark channel earlier today, showing she is lead a different more liberal tea party movement. bill maher has a plan to help president obama to improve his sagging numbers. he says impeachment would help president obama. here's the advice he gave to blake farenthal this past friday. >> he said a question i get a lot is, if everybody is so unhappy with the president why don't you impeach him? well, maybe because you can't impeach a president for making you unhappy. or can you? blake farenthal, you might have stumbled on to something. the declaration of independence, which is almost the constitution says we have the right to happiness. then we can impeach him for dereliction of happiness. so there you go, republicans. you finally have your impeachable offense. obama gave you a case of the sads. when the republicans impeached clinton, his approval rating shot up 10 points to 73. obama's approval is at 41. he could use a little bit of that impeachment mojo. finally, joe biden may be sitting vice president and potential candidate for 2016 for preside

and who's been suffering the most, congresswoman michele bachmann. >> obamacare as we know is the crownl of socialism. the number one job killer in the united states, do you know what it is? obamacare. it will be very unpleasant if the death panels go into effect. the president of the united states effectively becomes a health care dictator. let's repeal this failure before it literally kills women, kills children, kills senior citizens. >> and this health law fever hasn't gone down, even though 8 million people have now signed up. just this week, bachmann got into a heated debate over the popularity of the health care law with dnc chair debbie wasserman shultz. >> so they want to change. that's really what the result is. they are not -- >> this is why. >> they want it changed, and now just in the last day or so, debbie, you had your turn, now it's mine. in the last two days -- >> don't want you to run out the clock. >> how this is hurting the bottom line of major businesses, from ge, to ups, to dollar general, this is hitting their earnings, because the affordable care act -- >> ladies

meanwhile michele bachmann, that's right the congresswoman from minnesota who's under investigation forome ethics issue, she thinks otherwise. she was out in the gulf of mexico touring oil rigs this week. she wants to bring awareness to business and push for increased drilling. increased drilling in the gulf. this shows you everything you need to know as a liberal when she gets involved and thinks that oil should be able to do whatever the heck it wants. the new oil and gas free trade deal is bad news for america. now is the time to be cutting back on oil and gas production or at least don't increase it any more just because of a trade agreement that would knock out 39 years of restriction and regulation that we need. look what's happened during regulation. we need to say no to the keystone xl pipeline and yes they are all connected. we need to fix our environment and switch to renewable sources of energy. sure, wind and solar were not doing enough. president obama has to say no to this trade deal, has to say no to the keystone xl pipeline. because there was this report that was deliver

but you do realize that michele bachmann isn't just some obscure politician that no one's heard of she's kind of a big deal homegirl ran for president and if you steal her words the internet will take note you can't just read someone else's policies decide you like them and then use them without bothering to give them any credit or wake up call america we need a leader not a reader we're back with meghan mccain whose new indirect you showed take part live airs on pivot t.v. weeknights at ten eastern seven pacific by the way megan knows nothing about this but her father senator john mccain sent us these comments when we learned that meghan would be with us today let us watch together. hey megan i understand you're hanging out with larry king tonight he's going to talk to you about your new show congratulations on by the way a showcase for she like larry and me we can learn a lot from you know i certainly have not everything do i agree with but we learn a lot have fun on the show i love the. old geezer here he calls it was he's been calling himself an organizers of the child. he seven d. s
