>> it's hard to speculate on the perspective of michele bachmann, to begin with, her entire premise isd. nobody ever said that the war against al qaeda and the war against violent extremist groups. nobody. the senior leadership, the folks in afghanistan and pakistan, the folks who perpetrated 9/11, everybody said the gbigger problem is that the theology of al qaeda has spread to other groups. so her entire premise is -- nobody ever said the global war on terror is open. that absolutely never happened. so the premise is wrong, and what drives them is a desire to partisanly embarrass the president. >> and meanwhile, sir, what's happened in a letter to the house oversight committee by some of your democratic colleagues sort of points out is that the other skorl of fall kuwait is here that they keep going down these conspiracy theory lanes, that turn out to be wrong. so you wind up spending money investigating the claims and those too lead nowhere. >> and they just restate the claim and we have to start the process all over again. one of the things they haven't done much of, is actually lo

she's been very critical of women like sarah palin and michele bachmann.are said women only a man could love and that's been a turn off to women. how are you approaching this issue in a way that would be more inclusive? >> if we want to get to equality and we have to, it has to be all of us. men, women of all different races background and political views working together. when we founded the foundation, i found it along with the book, our idea was to build an online community. we welcome women, men, small groups that meet, i think ten people once a month to lean in together. they come in all, shapes, forms and sizes of all views. we have them, you know, in the most liberal campuses and all ages and backgrounds and they can work together. >> have you ever talked to her? i know you know her and know some of these iconic feminist. is it not possible given issues on abortion and so on. the two sides are so opposed? >> we have to find a way to come together. let's take feminist -- >> i don't like it. >> american women, are you a feminist, 24% say yes. if you s

>> well, he's a perfect fit with michele bachmann supporting him.e went in saying i'm an outsider. as you correctly pointed out, he's very, very rich. he fits the play book of the tea party. that's why it's a fight for the soul of the tea party. and i smell a whiff of boehner in this. he has a majority in the house, but it's not a working majority. if he can pull this off with the establishment republican who is not favored to win, he makes his point. he doesn't have to win every race. he just has to win one or two to make his point to try to pull people in away from the tea party. but they seem to be doing just fine on their own in obstructing everything. >> so the liberals, progressives, democrats in the state of florida here are going to have to be somewhat angered that their government is being stolen and directed by only the wealthy, quarterbacked by the wealthy, directed by the wealthy, wealthy issues. middle class being squeezed again. all of this. and the question is that going to motivate people in the very important state of florida. by th

congresswoman michele bachmann joins us.e see it you. >> thanks for having me on today who people have their pencils sharpened and working furiously to get their tax returns in by the midnight deadline. >> a 2% of americans say what they have to pay is too much. that's up 46% from -- from 46% in 2012. 42% say it's about right. 3% say it's too low. a 2% of americans say their taxes are too high. >> i would agree with them. i'm a former federal tax litigation attorney that's what i did for a living. we have some history. if you look at john f. kennedy a democrat president, he cut taxes in 1962 and '64. we had eight years of economic growth and expansion, about five% a year. pretty good until 68 and '69 when we ryan ceased taxes again that hurt the economy. the real kicker was when president nixon took the dollar off of the gold standard. we had loose money but high taxes that created a disaster throughout the 1960's because we had increased government spending and increased government regulation. but the real renaissance happe

that was signed by santorum and michele bachmann. they had to take their names off it. you go through it, the idea that black families were more intact under slavery than they are under the ravages of government welfare today, that was not invented by cliven bundy. >> yeah. that's pretty remarkable. given the fact that to be married was illegal -- first of all, let's begin there. and then slaves had to -- that's where you get the tradition of jumping the broom because they had to integrate into their own communities the fabric of their own moral existence their affirmation of one another as being married because the state refused to recognize them being married. that's why they could take father and mother and separate them and children. but here's the point about the black family. even when black slaves escaped slavery, chris, they stayed in the nearby proximity to their loved ones because they loved them so much they didn't want to be separated by them -- from them. this is why the anthropologist carol steck calls it fictive kin. even when they didn't have blood lines

. >>> michele bachmann's latest benghazi theory.n and the rest of the right wing clown car can't stop blowing the benghazi whistle. back after this. >>> welcome back to "hardball." well, the conservative clown car, or the clown show, if you will, is at it again yesterday. they held another hearing on benghazi, determined to chase the story and issue that doesn't exist. simply to poison the well for the democrats' likely 2016 presidential nominee former secretary of state hillary clinton. well, the house intelligence committee hearing yesterday was not an effort to get facts but instead an opportunity to get again accuse a former administration official in this case, extension of president obama and hillary clinton, of covering up the response to the attacks on that u.s. facility in benghazi ahead of the 2012 election. here's republican michele bachmann, of course, accusing former cia deputy director michael morel of lying to the american people. >> what's really odd here is that the false narrative that was given on sunday morning,

. >>> michele bachmann's latest benghazi theory.est of the right wing clown car can't stop blowing the benghazi whistle. back after this. i know what you're thinking... transit fares! as in the 37 billion transit fares we help collect each year. no? oh, right. you're thinking of the 1.6 million daily customer care interactions xerox handles. or the 900 million health insurance claims we process. so, it's no surprise to you that companies depend on today's xerox for services that simplify how work gets done. which is...pretty much what we've always stood for. with xerox, you're ready for real business. then a little time to kick back. earn double hilton honors points with the 2x points package and be one step closer to a weekend break. doubletree by hilton. where the little things mean everything. doubletree by hilton. so ally bank really has no hthat's right, no hidden fees.s? it's just that i'm worried about, you know, "hidden things." ok, why's that? well uhhh... surprise!!! um... well, it's true. at ally there are no hidden fees.

cold anyway anyway allowed every seat in the marking point was when my colleague congresswoman michele bachmann accuse puma aberdeen who was the most low near to a jew. cool i'll work for hillary clinton accused of being a player of the muslim brotherhood people who know one of my woodwork objecting to this end. how unfair it was and since that time. the sort of you know hate campaign really has receded so he arrived in congress and in two thousand seven and brought obama had his inauguration in two thousand and nine says he's seen it all we've seen that need to change it here first. this black president in the united states. to think that during his time. race relations have improved all. or maybe the country. and because during that time it almost inaudible for the present but we have had the table mountain case which hatch racial. the racial element to it all the people would say that we've had quite the very tools which make it grows to be difficult for minorities to vote for his all when the presidential election. so what is unproven or more of a king in entirely the wrong direction this c

there's a strain of the movement that really believes in -- michele bachmann has had more than 20 fostern. there's something about expanding the circle of love in the family and spreading the word of god that way. and i think that, you know, this reminds tea party voters that he is part of that christian evangelical movement. but, you know, the trouble for him is much deeper than that. mitch mcconnell has a lot of favors he can call in over decades of experience in kentucky. and, you know, republican primary voters also know that because democrats have such a formidable challenger in grimes that if bevin wins, very good chance that republicans would lose in the general whereas mcconnell has a slight edge over grimes right now. >> the republican governors association just dropped a brutal ad on the democratic challenger to republican governor nikki haley. it's so rough it makes you wonder whether republicans are concerned that haley isn't a slam dunk to win in november. >> it's a fact. vincent shaheen dechded a child abuser and representing others charged with violent acts. threatening to

let's get back to michele bachmann asking questions. >> if we don't take the totality of the information about something this important. until we get it right. this wasn't just in the immediate two days afterwards. the president of the united states, two weeks later, in front of the united nations, continued the false narrative that it was a youtube video that was responsible for what happened. as a matter of fact, that film maker went to jail for a year and he was the only scapegoat while the thugs and criminals in benghazi are still wandering the streets. he's the only one that has ever gone to jail. no wonder the american people are absolutely upset about this because how interesting that at the u.n., the number one agenda identify imof the oic was to criminalize any speech in any country h somehow insults the prophet muhammad. why is it our president and secretary of state continue to put forward was parallel to the agenda of the oic. i don't get that. and it had nothing to do with the facts on the ground reported by the eye witnesses on the ground. so, it seems to me that what you r

michele bachmann said the state department and white house didn't do it because they had you do it for them. >> she's the one that tried to link it to those changes being from the white house. he didn't go there or answer those questions. one of the other things he said was this quote. i believe it was protest. i also believe it was a terrorist attack. i don't believe those things were mutually exclusive. what do you think about that? >> well, he was just trying to explain what his analysis was. he said it was not political at all. there was no indication from anyone on the ground there was a protest of any kind of that's where the disconnect is. you'll start to see and hear testimony. questioning, classed q&a, heard some of what he said in some of those questions. i think it's not the end of this despite most of the democrats said there are too many hearings to begin with. >> another fox news alert, supreme court striking down limits on overall campaign contributions. brett, what does this all mean? who is going to like this decision and who is not going to like it? >> anyone fighting

that was michelle bachmann in 20099. today we're seeing more of the anti-government movement.onsin, the state's gop was about to hold a vote on whether it can secede from the country. a hero for rejecting government, secession and rebellion, a trend on the right. now a supreme court justice is joining the party. joining me now are dana millbank and krystal ball. dana is writing about the anti-government trend on the right. secession a tournament for the gop. >> maybe that's scalia's idea kind of a joke or something. but what do you make of it coming from a supreme court justice. >> it's pretty remarkable. one thing we've seen about scalia is he is not afraid of adopting some of these tea party arguments drawing things, even in oral arguments from the sort of tea party websites. for example, the broccoli argument, if we allow people to have health care, next thing you know, government would be man dating broccoli. justice scalia made that argument from the bench. >> entitlement being a racial preference. >> that was unbelievable to hear. i know you were in that room that day. >

how do you feel michele bachmann feels after saying obamacare will literally kill people after 7 millionve signed up. we have a real problem on our hands if that's true. the conservative message on health care is very shallow. it fits their messenger, don't you think? i don't think she feels anything. i think she has ice in her veins. next co-question comes from don. don wants to know, do we have any plans for the fifth anniversary of "the ed show." do we have plans? friday night. dinner and drinks with the team. i ain't sticking around. "rapid response panel" is next. >>> i'm courtney reagan with the cnbc stock market wraps. dow up 74.95. mass doc up 69. mary barra testified about the emissions recall linked to 13 deaths. she apologized to family whose lost loved ones. gm and ford reported bester than average sales. chrysler a gain. that's it from cnbc, we're first in business, worldwide.

excellent general election candidate on the republican ticket, but you know he's not going to do a michele bachmann. we'll never see jeb bush talking about, quote unquote, legitimate rape or getting rid of the violence against women act and that might be what primary voters, conservative primary voters in the republican party are looking for. >> ryan, that phrase "act of love" if it's an act of love for a guy or woman to cross the border illegally ten years ago or ten months ago or ten minutes ago, why is it not an act of love ten years from now? what would stop illegal immigration if your attitude is that positive of it in terms of morality? i'm just wondering how it will sell out there in the country? >> i don't think it would sell in a republican primary. jeb obviously knows that. he prefaced that by saying this is on tape. i think this is an indication that he is leaning very heavily against running, and i think his calculation here is like, okay look, i'm going to say what i actually believe. and if the entire right wing of the republican party crumbles off of the planet and the only thing lef

though he's from wisconsin, not minnesota, he would be the perfect replacement in the party for michele bachmannsically what i'm hearing. >> oh, yeah. >> okay. >> he's willing to say really outrageous things. and he's worried about things other people aren't worried about. like whether there's sort of a mass slaughter of little girls going on because of legal abortion. he has this peculiar theory about planned parenthood as being an extremely nefarious organization that promotes the genocide of little girls. it's strange stuff. he does really believe it. reporters enjoy talking to him because he'll say things like the names of the corporate sponsors, the lob lobbyists behind legislation that they're sponsoring. he's a loose cannon. >> loose cannon but he's really perfect for the right wing. this guy's going to get a flood of money from americans for prosperity. or am i wrong on that? >> well, he's a tea party-type republican. he is running against a moderate republican who's been there for 13 terms. so it's a reach. but i think it's possible that he'll get a lot of support and win. and i guess i

obama is not only giving health care to some child-like versions of ted cruz, john boehner, michele bachmann but it's also time to accept reality and take their medicine. peel back the rhetoric and there are also signs this is sinking in. on sunday republicans were pushing through another aca amendment but it was not another endless gesture towards repeal. this time some republicans quietly tweaked the aca to expand a few coverage choices. expand, not repeal. now, an effort to improve the law seems like a step forward for the gop, so with democratic support the house cut a cap on deductibles for some small group policies. you can't look up the roll call list of who voted for that bill. because republicans used a voice vote to slip in the amendment without any official tally so they may be on the right track, it just has to be very quiet. it wasn't quiet enough, though. the drudge report found out, splashed this incendiary headline across the home page and like clockwork, speaker boehner rushed out a quick statement insisting that gop move was actually just one part of republicans' larger eff

and, continuing with the quote, "and michele bachmann as petulant children." that's the artist speaking. he went on to say, "and i especially wanted to draw an open-mouthed mitch mcconnell being spoon-fed his meds." yet the white house revealed that sign-ups for private insurance plans under the affordable care act continued after last week's deadline. >> we have a number of people who were in the queue when the deadline hit who we have to get signed up. we don't have complete data yet, but 200,000 additional people have signed up this week. so that's progress. >> so you have had 200,000 more that have signed up since you announced the 7.1. >> with more data coming in. we're still working. because everyone who had started the process, who wants access to affordable health care, has a chance to do that. >> "the new york times'" robert pare reports enrollment in medicare haines creased by 3 million people to a total of 62 million, largely because of the affordable care act, the obama administration said. but even with the now possibly 10 million new beneficiarie

anti-vaccine banner is being carried by celebrities including jenny mccarthy, and politicians like michele bachmannher last night come up to me in tampa, florida, after the debate. she told he mer little daughter took that vaccine, that injection, and she suffered from mental retardation thereafter. >> that strain, while absurd, also has real-world impacts. measles was once nearly eradicated in america but is now on the rise. in the past two months cases were found in new york city, boston, san francisco, san diego, and in dallas. last fall the cd reported the largest outbreak of measles in 17 years and warned that anti-vaccine hysteria is fuelling the trend. chili's at least has given in to reason and public outrage. in a statement the company announced, while we remain committed to supporting the children and families affected by autism, we are canceling monday's giveback event based on the feedback we heard from our guests. while the bottomless tostadas might not be guilt free today they are conspiracy free. that is all for now. see you back here tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. eastern.

[applause] steve, michele bachmann, and i went around the middle east the end of december.as over there back in september. you would be surprised how many of our moderate muslim friends have said, why are you no longer helping in the war on terror? you're helping the bad guys now. how do you not understand that the people you were at war with the people you're helping. why are you not helping us? in afghanistan, there has been material change. the northern alliance that originally defeated the taliban for us, we had less than 500 people embedded in the northern alliance and they defeated the taliban and within about four months. people have forgotten. then we became occupiers, and now this administration behind the scenes is saying, a bunch of war criminals -- they are the people that defeated the taliban and. those moderate muslims are the enemy of our enemy. we thought they would want to get out of the nationbuilding business. i was hoping that would be a change. they doubled down. it is disastrous what they are doing. for the first time in our nations history, i think th

i recall michele bachmann was leading iowa straw poll.on: as i recall hillary clinton was leading on democratic side. >> i no longer will predict any presidential elections because i remember sitting on this very set, in 2006, no way hillary clinton will blow this nomination. who is barack obama. >> he came right in. >> i am no longer predicting things this far out. jon: is the interesting, is it more interesting race on the republican side, angela? it looks and we'll get to these numbers in a minute. looks like hillary's race to lose. >> it looks like it is hillary's race to loose. i think the more interesting side, hillary and chris christie have a problem with scandal. if biden throws the hat in the ring i think president obama will endorse his vp i think it's a long time away. i think more so republicans are a little bit more splintered than democrats who they support. also in the republican party, jon, we have a diversity problem. in 2004, bush won ohio by getting 16% of the blacks vote. what we need to do with rnc and other caucuses

thinking about 2012, is that a message we don't need michele bachmann or john mccain. >> i think thea that this is a guy who is electable. and i think that is the message that he was trying to project there. i am electable. i'm someone who will not have huge ideological lines on every issue. if he's testing the water over the next few months this is not a sure thing. but there's a lot of insight into that. >> testing the waters. also wondering what has become quick sand in recent years, immigration issue. we know it's a issue for his brother. he's obviously the governor of a big swing state with latino population. his wife is latino. listen to jeb bush with this message on immigration. >> yes, they broke the law. but it's not a felony -- it's an act of love. it's the an act of commitment to your family. >> john mccain spoke of god's children when they come across the border. his brother george w. spoke like this. this is where mitt romney got into problems with pressure from the right. can jeb bush sell that in south carolina? >> it's been difficult. he's obviously had a lot of suppo
