you may remember back in 2011 michelle bachman won the poll and eventual nominee mit rhomey came in secondhe caucus. >>> workers continue to clean up a section of a midwest freeway after a frightening multi-vehicle accident caught on-camera. >> more than 190 trucks and cars were involved in a huge pile-up yesterday on international 94 in central michigan. one person was killed. today the freeway remains closed as crews clear out dozens of vehicles still remaining including a truck carrying hazardous chemicals. >>> friends and family of an alameda man killed in an ac transit bus accident honor his life at a memorial today. ♪[ music ]♪ >> they packed the christ episcopal mass to remember the man who was remembereds a warm and giving money who gave to many organizations and was always ready to help. >> sam was one of the few people who was beloved and was beloved by many. >> in december he was walking in the crosswalk at busk when the bus struck and killed him in alameda. he was 78 years old. ac transit is investigating that extent. >>> and entrepreneur in the bay area, elon musk has rarely f

you go back to 2012 and you know it was newt gingrich up one day and michelle bachman and rick perry who may very well run again in 2016 too. so many of these potential candidates on the republican side are not well known commodities on a national stage. sure if you're a political junkie and a political animal you know who these guys are but for the average american who is trying to figure out who aligns with my view, who might i like in this field, it is a huge field and there is a whole lot of homework for people to do particularly in iowa, new hampshire and early caucus states. a whole host of candidates introducing themselves to voters or in the case of some candidates reintroducing themselves if they want to retake the race, like rick perry. >> what about the democrats will their field be as crowded or will it be as it was in 2012, a two-person run? >> sure, your consensus mainstream leader right now of course would have to be jeb bush. everyone knows the name bush. bush doesn't have to worry about name recognition issues but you got to go back to the notion that this is so earl

you might remember michelle bachman had it on good authority that that trip cost $200 million a day?t did not, but it will involve the president goes to the most off the hook parade i have ever seen a rehearsal for. wheels up at 6:00 a.m. . mmm, a perfect 177-degrees. and that's why this road warrior rents from national. i can bypass the counter and go straight to my car. and i don't have to talk to any humans, unless i want to. and i don't. and national lets me choose any car in the aisle. control. it's so, what's the word?... sexy. go national. go like a pro. constipated? .yea dulcolax tablets can cause cramps but not phillips. it has magnesium and works more naturally than stimulant laxatives. for gentle cramp free relief of occasional constipation that works! mmm mmm live the regular life. you pay your auto insurance premium every month on the dot. you're like the poster child for paying on time. and then one day you tap the bumper of a station wagon. no big deal... until your insurance company jacks up your rates. you freak out. what good is having insurance if you get punished

it makes michelle bachman look better because this is so out there. bill maher got fired from "politically incorrect" saying that the 9/11 terrorists were courageous. this man wants to be president of the united states. on some level you have to wonder why is he saying this. it's not red meat for the base. this is ridiculous. this is wrong. you made a mistake. instead of trying to defend a comment that is absolutely indefensible. >> do these terrorists deserve to be complimented on any level for any of their actions? i mean he's finding a quality of good amongst the people who are killing innocent on this globe. >> they don't deserve to be recognized in a speech which is suppose to be the gop -- would argue they are more patriotic. that was far from patriotic. the folks who are currently serving the country and have lost their lives, there are people all over this country who have grieving their loved ones because they went out to fight terrorism on behalf of this country. so the fact that he would even bring it up to say, at least they're willing to

you remember every single contender, herman cain and michelle bachman, perry at one point, donald trump, all of them were ahead of him at some point as frontrunner. in the end, republicans were peeling off and every single contest before he was clearly the winner and was going to mass the most delegates. they were peeling off for governor perry, newt gingrich peeling off for rick santorum and rand paul. that's not enthusiasm. that was the default winner of the 2012 contest. for him to come back in he would need as tucker referred to, the natural base to build from and right now it sounds from the responses, both public and private that the only natural base of support is romney's family and long time close associates and even jeb bush has been able to pull away some of the most loyal long time staffers to join his new bid for the president. >> in the meantime tucker, there is an upspring of sorts underway in the economy. gas prices are down. the president's numbers seem to be ticking upward. is that all attributable to the improving economy? >> part of it is attributable perhaps to atte

. >> michelle bachman couldn't find the camera but she delivered the first tea party re rebuttal in 2011ate republicans gave responses to the state of the union. we're waiting for joni ernst's contribution tonight. joining me now are my guests. gentlemen, great to have you with us tonight. i love the state of the union. it is like the masters. it is like the u.s. open. it is like the super bowl. it is the biggest platform of the year for the president. michael, give us some historical perspective of what president obama is going into tonight. he is going into the state of the union speech. he has a good economy behind his back, some accomplishments and he's facing a legislative body that is majority against him. >> it is not good for a president going into his seventh year harry truman even had both houses of congress. couldn't get much done because a lot of this is exhaustion. even lyndon johnson who was inaugurated 30 years ago today came in with the second most democratic congress yet. most of even johnson did not have an easy time. this is exhibition baseball tonight. >> where's the

you might remember michelle bachman had it on good authority that that trip cost $200 million a day? it did not, but it will involve the president goes to the most off the hook parade i have ever seen a rehearsal for. wheels up at 6:00 a.m. the world is filled with air. but for people with copd sometimes breathing air can be difficult. if you have copd, ask your doctor about once-daily anoro ellipta. it helps people with copd breathe better for a full 24hours. anoro ellipta is the first fda-approved product containing two long-acting bronchodilators in one inhaler. anoro is not for asthma. anoro contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. it is not known if this risk is increased in copd. anoro won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden copd symptoms and should not be used more than once a day. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition, or high blood pressure. tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, prostate or bladder problems, or problems passing urine as anoro may make these problems worse. call your doctor right away if you have worsened brea

party, they also don't buy into this idea of islam being hijacked by a minority of islamists as michele bachman and others, all so alan west is no longer in congress but is of former house of representatives but i have known apart from people like me continuing to write books giving talks, i have no grand strategy for it. >> i do think you have to distinguish between islam and islam extremism. i don't have the figures but there are obviously millions, hundreds of millions of people who are islamic and practice that faith peacefully. they may support terrorism but that is an important distinction to make. in tunisia and indonesia is the world's largest islamic democracy 200 million people. we can't ascribed these views to the majority of people living in that country. i think that is the case for many islamic countries around the world and i think we have to be careful in distinguishing between those who seek to use violence against civilians who enact their political agenda, islamists, and the many if not most people who identify as muslims and joy don't support similar tactics. i don't think y

, a one to start with and at different times, they were winning republican nomination fight, michelle bachman as the great audition. >> meanwhile, let's talk about carly fiorina. former hewlett packard ceo. she was in iowa as well and said this. >> like hillary clinton, i too have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles around the globe. but unlike her, i've actually accomplished something. >> okay. so what do you like about her? >> carly has broken every glass ceiling on her way to the top of the tech industry, working for lucent hp and others. she's smart, aguesssive. she's different. that's outside the box. her challenge i think in this race is going to be against sustainability and she did run not too long ago against barbara boxer in california. a loft republicans thought she would have a chance to win that race. i think she ended up losing by ten. so she's got her work cut out for her, but she's got an audience. she's again cut out of a different mold than a traditional republican. >> you say her prediction of success is like a one or two. finally -- >> very strong one. >> great. finall
