my name is congresswoman michele bachmann from minnesota's 6th district.ite meg to speak this evening. i'm here at their request and not to compete with the official republican remarks. >> not to compete with the official republican remarks or look directly into the camera. thats with a the other thing she forgot to do. i remember looking at that at the time, she was, what, a third term member of congress and the campaign ended up going nowhere but she had her moment and was able to exploit the possibilities there, in terms of delivering this response and building a profile. >> putting aside the uniqueness of michele bachmann's style and approach to politics, it actually, i think, does reflect a more significant point. that is, you know, running for president and presidential elections on the national level are very different than governors races, house races, any other type of race. there is -- and the ability now for candidates to use, you know, technology and be able to reach out to individuals across the country to build some kind of support and gain m

michele bachmann knows what you are in for and a lot more than that.ore that presidential former candidate seems to be working overtime and laughing off and killing off this. what you make of all this? >> well, on one hand you have to have a sense of humor and some of those clips were really funny and we should laugh at them because they are funny. on the other hand, you have to understand that it is an attempt to undermine ted cruz. this is exactly what thee did with ronald reagan. and it's just a replay of what happens when there is an uppity conservative who comes forward on the national scene. what's really happening in the republican party, there has been nothing but deadwood for about 15 years. suddenly if you look at what the party is, there is a new leadership. a new set of ships that have come to town, mike lee, marco rubio, rand paul. what happened is that are outraged by it. the democrats are threatened by it and the media cannot stand it. everyone wants the power on ted cruz and she's taking over the republican party. neil: i would say that

as a christian, michele bachmann should be ashamed of herself.ty who loves to play the religious card certainly isn't living up to the teachings of the bible. nancy pelosi explained this on thursday, as she was fighting against the food stamp cuts. >> a couple weeks ago, i was in houston, texas, visiting my grandchild. and we were at mass. and the sermon, the priest said something i think we should consider as we consider our vote here today. he said, you just can't come to church and pray on sunday. and go out and prey on people the rest of the week. this legislation is preying, p-r-e-y-i-n-g, on people. on children, on veterans, on seniors. >> did nancy pelosi say that when she was in church she was at mass? you mean democrats actually go to church too? i had no idea. over the last 24 hours, republicans voted to take food away from 4 million poor americans. they also voted to prevent 30 million americans from getting health care. all from the heart, isn't it? and this guy couldn't be happier. speaker john boehner. don't you jest feel the love,

what michele bachmann is arguing for is what ted cruz argues for. that's why what you saw all week long was some -- something we don't see very often, which is open republican warfare. republican on republican warfare, and the first vote of the day in the senate, which was the telltale sign of the issue, illustrated that. that is only 19 -- including ted cruz, 18 other republicans voted with him, which means the majority of the republican caucus in the senate defied ted cruz's wishes to keep the fight going and to defund obama care on top of this spending bill despite the fact that democrats who run the senate weren't going to allow it. >> and again, if you're just tuning in, the senate voted to strip out an monday defunding obama care and keep the government open at least until mid-november. brianna keilar, the obama administration focused on the next bigger fight on the debt ceiling, correct? >> they're focused on both, don. they're stressing at this point, obviously, a government shutdown because maybe when you look at how much economic damage it

or you have michele bachmann going to egypt and talking in a completely condescending way to the egyptianeople. so i question where have we come in terms of american muslim identity and the relationship. we have taken some steps forward but in many ways we have a long way. >> do you think that 9/11 has brought the issues to the floor in a way that would be good because it forces us to think and talk about it as a society? >> that is the hope. there are lots of reasons to have hope and lots of reasons not to. keeping the reasons not to have hope in mind is very important. tribalism runs deep in all of us. without the awareness of how deep it runs it is difficult to believe we can ever overcome it. >> i think the idea that we all believe that we live in this world and what the play uncovers is that we do have these very, very distinct tribal connections that we don't know we have. as much as the muslim character connects to his tribal connections so does everybody else. so does the caucasian white woman and the jewish-american and the african-american woman. here you have these very sophist
