it was just crazy michele bachmann scrolling around on her ipad that nobody believed. there was an investigation with that complaint. today, in a surprise move in what may turn out to be not just a bombshell for iowa politics and a presidential campaign that's already over and people like michele bachmann and ron paul who are already out of politics, but a bombshell for republican politics now and for republican efforts to take the senate now this year, today the surprise news is that this has all been resolved. apparently it wasn't a political witch hunt because he was against gay marriage. it wasn't just claims from michele bachmann. today, kent sorenson pled guilty on two charges. he's facing between 5 to 25 years in prison and $500,000 total fine. he posted his plea agreement on line. the bottom line is that he admits to having taken bribes for his endorsement. he was bribed by the ron paul for president campaign. they paid him a total of $75,000 for his endorsement in iowa, where he pled guilty to, was working with the ron paul campaign to lie about the bribe mone

michele bachmann's floated it out there although she's not running again and steve king has in a townrlier this week. you have rand paul talking it up and now you have mike huckabee. what should be the democratic response to this if any at all? can they let this just -- or should democrats out on the trail start talking about this? >> i think between now and the midterm, democrats ought to say bring it on. it's raising the money and it's turning out the base and it's firing them up and getting them ready to go. i think dems are right to keep the language alive and to pass huckabee the mike, pass michele bachmann the mike, one more, two more, three more times as long as they'll repeat it and democrats are right to do this. it's a weakness that republicans don't realize that they have. after midterms, however, it gets even more dangerous because w r we're in a position where they may move ahead on this and they might float articles of impeachment and the problem is they would destroy themselves in 2016. >> i want both of you to respond to the mississippi congressman and i am so furious

kent sorenson had been the iowa state chair for the michele bachmann for president campaign, but sort of out of nowhere just six days before the caucuses kent sorenson publicly flipped. spent the afternoon campaigning with michele bachmann as campaign chair, that night appeared on stage at a ron paul event and changed his allegiance to the ron paul campaign. yesterday kent sorenson announced that switch was the result of a $73,000 bribe paid to him by the ron paul for president campaign. he pled guilty in federal court on two counts yesterday. pled guilty to working with the ron paul campaign to lie about the bribe money that was paid to him when the campaign exposed expenditures in federal documents and pled guilty about lying and was an obstruction of justice charge. one way to get in trouble for bribery is get caught taking the bribe. the other way to get caught for bribery is to be caught paying the bribe. in kent sorenson's case, what he pled guilty to and facing prison time for is taking the bribe. the bribe paid to him by the ron paul for president campaign. the man in charge f

people like sarah palin, people like michele bachmann who isn't actually running again for her seat. but whether or not the establishment wants to deal with this, i think we're going to have to see in august what they say. >> but the establishment wanted to deal with immigration, krystal, and steve king and them were able to turn that around. a columnist, for example, for the right wing national review, john fund, says republicans should impeach the president. they should sensor him. don't impeach him. censure. a resolution of censure would serve as a warning, a constitutional yellow card that congress and the american people will not tolerate abuses of power indefinitely and presidents who so overreach risk having a permanent block on their record. we have seen lawsuits, heard calls for impeachment. is censure the next right wing frontier? >> it's a sad state of affairs that the reasonable wing of the republican party just wants to sue and censure the president versus the far wing of the republican party that wants to impeach him. they're all looking for a way to prove how much they

. >>> in pretenders tonight, michele bachmann 2.0, tom emmer. e primary last night to take bachmann's vacant seat. he gained a reputation after his failed run for the governor's office in 2010. after his loss, he did what any good former conservative candidate will do, host a radio show. >> he wanted to be your governor and came this close to winning. bob davis has never won anything. so what are these two doing on the radio every morning? listen and find out for yourself. twin city's news talk. >> the best came from their preradio selfie videos. >> i went out last night and spent my time with a north metro tea party -- >> the tea party patriots! >> what a great group. libya is still in the news. >> libya still in the news. >> nobody can find the can find mysterious khadafi. >> chicken heart. >> chicken heart. >> boom, boom, bomb. >> that's the government. >> right. pretty soon it consumes all of us. >> i think everybody should get punched. >> if tom emmer thinks we can take him more seriously than michele bachmann, he can keep on pretending. ♪me

so you can compare what they say. >> we can hear you michele bachmann. there's been talk about impre h impreaching the president for years. the democrat wils will talk bec it mobilizes people because these -- the republicans have been talking about it over and over again. i think crystal made an important point. if you look at the logic they are using to justify the lawsuit, it is exactly the same logic you would use to justify impeachment. if you keep saying that president obama is lawless then why aren't you impeaching him? >> right. >> so, you know, it's crazy. when speaker boehner said democrats are inventing this, i guess he, too, forgot that recording equipment had been invented. you could spend this whole show just showing footage of republicans calling for impeachment. >> the recording equipment not only gets it, it retains it. e.j. dionne and krystal ball, thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> watch krystal on "the cycle" weekdays at 3:00 p.m. eastern on msnbc. >>> coming up, a new report on voter suppression should be a big wake-up call for

michele bachmann in an anti-immigrant tirade.ed off her idea for border security. >> we built a real fence along the entire border. it needs to be well lit. it feed needs to have surveill. needs to have border guards on either side. we need to have then boats where there are waterways. that needs to be pass controlled 24/7. if anyone can somehow get into the united states, they have to be adjudicated on the spot and deported on the spot. >> so she wants to take our border guards and put them on border guards and put them on the other side? her list is just shy of mote and alligator. next, the queen of obscene. with her new plan for immigration reform. a 100% tax rate. >> what i believe we should do is have a 100% tax on remittances. the money that illegal aliens send to other countries. this truly is a war again the american people. and if we don't act like it and take this border seriously, we're going to have more criminal gains. >> bachmann's new ploy, withholding 100% of their wages could be interpreted as slavery. i didn't s

. >>> finally there are just six months until republican michele bachmann is out of congress, but sheppears to be making every day count. she just told a conservative radio station that children crossing the border illegally are wards of the government and could be subject to medical experiments. >> if you have a hospital and they are going to get millions of dollars in government grants that they can conduct medical research on somebody and a ward of the state can't say no. a little kid can't say no. if they're a ward of the state. so here you could have this institution getting millions of dollars from our government to do medical experiments and a kid could not say no, it's sick. >> well, it would be sick if it was true but there are laws against that sort of thing. but still, michele bachmann has been called a bit unique and better or for worse i suppose she'll be missed. >> have a great weekend. david shuster. >>> the latest cease-fire between israel and hamas, we'll have the latest fromga stand and talk about what, if anything, the united states can could for help. >>> and a hug

steven and michele bachmann tweeted this photo.t the time king told reporters about the reworked bill quote the changes brought into this are ones i've developed and advocated for past two years. like i ordered it off the menu. yes, the same steve king in the past talked about immigrant with quote calves the size of cantaloupes from hauling drugs across the border. other voices on the right with outside influence, brooks, launching a war on whites, advocating a deport them all position on illegal immigrant. these are not exactly the faces the party wants to showcase to help make inroads in hispanic community and yet, there they are leading the charge in congress. host of the reid report here on msnbc, gibbly republican strategist, hogan, let me start with you. i think there are two things related here. let me run them by you and see what you say about it. i think it is not at all a coincidence here we are at the end of the primary season in talking about how, for once the tea party didn't knock off republican incumbents and the fac

potentially including ebola and other diseases like that. >> why do i think michele's statement is that everyone's last name is bachmannbattle. >> glenn says, we have a problem, houston, we have a problem. michele, you're killing me with this. not only the mexicans but the russians, chinese, all of them ebola-laden, weaponized, drug-toting, drug trafficking, people who hate our country, terrorists all coming over. and here's the question. right now, i'd say terrific. what do we do? don't tell me about the feds. something tells me, ed, that in our level of electronic sophistication, a fence ain't going to necessarily cut it. what exactly is their solution? i'm waiting. >> we will answer that question next week. lionel, always great to have you with us on the friday edition of the ed show. >> god bless you. >> you bet. that is "the ed show." appreciate your time. i'm ed. "politics nation" right now. >> right now they're breaking the new gop immigration plan with a vote set for later tonight. it comes after the gop's embarrassing implosion yesterday that developed into chaos and infighting. in a surprise news conference l

we go from yesterday, ted cruz is speaker of the house to today steve king and michele bachmann, king and queen for the day. john boehner has to kiss their rings. >> what's scary is that this is a recognized national problem. >> yes. >> now, maybe its would be tragic for most people to see those young people sitting down at the border who were basically sent up here by other people. they didn't make a big decision in life fr. a scary place to place they thought might be heavenly've. yet nobody wants to take responsibility entirely for what to do. the president should have offered, i believe, some modification of the previous law that was a magnet for all these people coming up here. he doesn't want to do that. the congress, worse than him, doesn't want to do anything. this bill, as you pointed, was not meant for passage. >> what the house gop wants to do is give some money, not enough, some money for border security. they want to take way the right of half a million youngsters who would otherwise be deported to stay in this country, people who were brought here through no fault of the

. >> sure thing, it was really fascinating, michelle bachmann in particular stood out.r and a group of reporters. she was very bearish about it, she said we think this is bad legislation. this is bad news. the next morning, friday morning at 9:00, the house republicans convened for a meeting down in the bowels of the basement of the capitol. right after that meeting, bachmann's attitude hat 180-degree change, she spoke with a group of reporters and said she was very pleased. lots of criticism has been directed at house leadership for their treatment of this immigration issue. but it seems like they made friends in the conservative and tea party caucuses just by working so hard overnight. >> but the senate is on vacation, so whether they're on board or not, nothing's going to happen unless the president uses his power and ignores congress's exception of whatever decision he wants to make. how bad does this look for republicans in the house? if they don't offer their decision on how the house would fix his problem. >> senators would have been able to say, look, these guys

scientists have used for a long time and on the scale that i use zero is very conservative like michelle bachmann 100 is nancy pelosi and 50 is my estimate of the average voter like a blue dog democrat like arlen specter. what i do in this book is compare that content of the media and to say arlen specter and then a statistical method to given number to the content and what that means it is the new york time sounds like a joe lieberman speech actually he is left of center he is 75 lead with it -- midway between specter and policy. so i would give the number. >>host: give us one example of how you got joe lieberman at 75 and how "the new york times" gets at 75? >>guest: this is a recent example but in my books the main way that i judge how liberal or conservative the speech is or the media content is is i looked at think tank citations i have a list of 200 think tanks from year to its foundation to the economic policy institute, those are on the left and i count the ratio. is then a year times only sightseeing their heritage foundation more center for budget priorities? they would have something l

right and in order to get the bill passed they had to move the bill farther to the right and as michele bachmannon the house floor last night, put happened cuffs on the president. it was sort of a dramatic gesture. it's never even going to get to the president because an harry reid and the democrats will never pass is up a bill whether they're in session or come back after labor day. i think the challenge is how to decouple this policy fight over amnesty, i'm sorry, over deportations from the very real need to get money to the border to solve the crisis and the fact that there's no easy answer to be honest. >> yeah. before this revised bill passed, the critics of boehner an us cooed him of selling out his principles and just basically is your rendering to the lawless president. those are the words of senator sessions. i know you're saying it's not a leadership crisis here. but does that weaken the bargaining power of the speaker when he's got that kind of rhetoric coming from his own side? >> well, he certainly couldn't jam through what he wanted to do because he didn't have the votes. i was a l

the top in two thousand and sixteen but it's going to be really hard to say is it going to be michele bachmann who so closely identify with the tea party movement i doubt it well what i mean is can the tea party elect a president. well what i'm saying is is. they can rally voters support but one of the reason one of the ways that this money they spend including the money it's the same money that backs the tea party they get spent on elections one of the ways that this impacts elections is it narrows it pushes candidates off of their own agenda to adopt another agenda because they don't want to face that big money juggernaut. and so you know we may very well elect somebody who appears to be a mainstream republican but they've been forced to adopt a tea party agenda so you know i don't know we'll see it'll be interesting to watch one and see where you are based on what you know in doing these documentaries i would gather you're pessimistic about this country. i am not pessimistic it's interesting but if i were pessimistic i don't know if i'd be if i'd have the energy to wage these battles becaus

michele bachmann, sarah palen although i don't think that they would have a chance at the presidency but i think that haley and martinez arguably could at some point. bobby jindal for governor of louisiana, paul ryan, governor christie, christie is actually pretty good on most of these points. he's very good on the life issue, pretty good on the life issue, and also christie has with ted cruz and rand paul have which was the be not afraid attitude. they don't care what the media says about them and that's really, really important because no matter what they say they are never going to vote for you. they want us to nominate jeb bush or another john mccain or charlie crist or something like that. he has most of these people have been as well. but the media tries to pick out the moderate republicans that they tell us to nominate that they think that they could beat. but i think that someone like marco rubio, rand paul, ted cruz the ticket with two of the three in 2016 with the hillary clinton. >> next question. >> down in the front packs. i'm maria from new hampshire so i will ask about

he met with michele bachmann and steve king late thursday night to try to get them to come along. if you have to grovel to king and bachmann at the 11th hour that says something about your power. >> it says something also, mike, this was a recalibration and when eric cantor got beat, he gets beat and leaves the leadership, they bring in steve scalise, he's from the tea party, knows these guys this is another personal humiliation for the speaker and his team. is this enough? >> partly. what they were talking about doing was not enough money, president obama would never accept the policy so it was never going and the very time the voters are saying we hate all of you, they're giving them a new reason >> they are giving them a new reason, an excellent point, government by stunt. democrats are doing the sail thing, just not as loudly or crazeily so they don't get much attention. ted cruz didn't do everything here but ted cruz is the tea party darling, the freshman senator from texas. democratic group, american bridge put this out, that's baby john boehner, little speaker in the baby c

on the scale that i use as euro is very conservative, bob and michele bachmann. it would hundred is about and nancy pelosi, and a 50 is my estimate of the average american voter. it turns out it is about like a blue dog democrat or republican, something like and all of. and so but i do in this book is compared the content of the media and compare it to speeches of politicians. and then i tried to say things like, does this sound more liberal or conservative than arlen specter? and then i have a statistical method that gives a number to the content. say it is a 75 which is what i find the new york times as. terms of what that means is that a new york times is a law like that joe lieberman speech. the lot of people : the moderate he is actually about a 75 on the scale midway between. about like a joe lieberman speech. it's a 75 on that scale. there are various outlets that i computes numbers for it. a report the mall. >> host: give us one example of how you got joe lieberman to 75 end of the new york times is the 75. >> guest: a carry. so this is maybe a recent exa

mike huckabee, tony perkins,'Ññ olli north, michelle bachmann, those people came to our defense.o essentially we were fighting a war on two fronts, the republicans and democrats were against us, the conservatives were for us, and ultimately the thing that did us in was comment biz senator mccain saying we don't want him to in the senate. and romney saying akin should step down. the democrats cult the clips, put them together in the last week of the campaign and they're all the republicans saying we don't want akin and that was really powerful ad that the democrats used. >> and your race going on -- todd akin here to answer your questions, take your economy. s. let's go to derrick in pensacola florida on the line for independents good morning. >> caller: good morning, sir. first i like to tell him we're not all idiots, okay? we understand exactly what you said. no matter how many times you resay it or try to say it, we understand exactly what you said. now, would you -- you continue to say that woman can choose to get pregnant or not if she is raped. this is something that i don't

the loudest of right wing radio to members of congress like iowa's steve king and minnesota's michele bachmann, to leaders in the republican house like steve scalise, impeachment varies from do it now to clearly on the table. and the danger to the republicans is that the clown car will outrun the leaders at the very top like the speaker of the house and the new deputy kevin mccarthy. could the crazy wing of the republican party speaking for the strong majority of voting republicans and buoyed by what they have gotten on right wing radio so stir the country that not even the top leaders can keep it quiet? and let's not kid ourselves. nobody likes this clamor more than the democrats who relish the rise of the right within the opposition. if for no other reason than it animates the democrats on their base. admit all this lies the prospect that the fuming of the hard right will gel with the politics of the progressives and create such a depressing cocktail that politics in general will take another drop downward and people this november, democrat and republican alike, will not even bother to vote.

coming up at 6:00 you don't want to miss the latest of what michele bachmann said about immigrant children and they being exposed to medical experiments. >> an ebola outbreak the "world health organization" said it's moving faster than they can move to contain it. two americans infected with the disease are now headed back to the united states for treatment. >> two aid workers were infect infected. they work for samaritan's purse. more than 700 people have died. dr. thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> it's a pleasure. how do you treat this? i don't think i've heard an explanation of how to treat ebola 5:00 how difficult it is to treat it. >> it's very difficult because we don't have an anti-viral drug against the virus itself. what we have to do is support the body. that's what we do in these intensive care units while the body fights off the infection. we monitor the body's chemistry. we make sure that all the organs are working well. we have specialists available and we have sophisticated testing that will provide a level of treatment for these two people that they can't possibly r

but now steve king, michele bachmann and senator cruise are writing a script. it demonize children. in january, you were saying all of the dreamers should get green quards and citizenship. now late on a friday night you are going after the dreamers who ave known any country but this one. they sign up with the department of homeland security. and pass f.b.i. checks so they can get right with the law. and now republicans are saying they should go back in the shadows back to the life of fear where opportunities are few and futures are uncertain. and the winner was president obama and the dreamers and the american people. you want to take that away. thank gdness the senate is gone and this will never become law. is there no one in your conference who can stand up and talk sensibly and deport the dreamers who live in our neighborhoods across neighborhood. you are frozen in the fear of your own voters and the colleagues. onlt cowards and only those who are a shamed of themselves do it in the night of a friday. you are not strong enough to stand up and craft solutions to american problems.

michele bachmann, congresswoman, she says republicans, if they don't impeach the president, they should at least go after his cabinet. listen to this. >> for instance, i would nominate the head of homeland he is security who will execute the laws. we are going to hold the person accountable who is fwoing to execute your law use is law, and we will bring that person up for betrayal of public trust and we will impeach that official. >> now they are going after obama cabinet members for what they may do. they want it get rid of them and try them for what they possibly will do. i mean, i've never heard of this one. but how do you enforce something that hasn't even been done yet? >> and who is going to enforce it. that's the problem that they come up against. you know, okay, so the house declares that somebody has broken the law or whatever. then they refer it over to the justice department. they don't have the power to go out to the justice department and when they tried to earlier, there was an opinion written by ted olsen during the regan administration so they are able to put the holy ro

michele bachmann sadly leaving congress shortly but a great leader on these issues has just introduced legislation that would designate the muslim brotherhood what it is -- a terrorist organization. at the moment in this country, engaged in the civilization kind of jihad, sedition, subversion. it is nonetheless overseas and here engaged in the same and jihadist enterprise as isis. we need to designate them and i hope we will get that legislation enacted. here in in colorado and other states, we could use your help as well. i mentioned the courts were another place where the civilization jihadists are trying to insinuate sharia. it is indicating that in dozens of states around the united states, you are seeing what you are seeing which is the effort to insinuate this foreign law that is profoundly anti-constitutional, most especially for women and children into our court system. one quick example -- in new jersey a couple of years back, a state judge was appealed to by a moroccan-born, american-naturalized citizen woman seeking a protective order against her husband because he was syste

that wasn't good enough for members like michele bachmann, louie gohmert and some others who were in the meeting with ted cruz. they're back at it today. doing tweaking and trying to craft a compromise everyone can go ahead and vote on. this is real, it was embarass ment for boehner, yet another one. they don't want politics of this crisis on the border which so far i think hurt president obama and been hurting democrats a little bit. they don't want to see this turn-around on them as they head out for this five-week break and be blamed for not addressing the crisis. jon: because some of the boehner supporters were saying, you know that they have, by not taking that vote yesterday, they have played into the president's hand, by becoming what he says they are, a do-nothing congress. >> exactly. and, look, you know, as far as how this might impact the elections, it is unclear. one thing reinforces stereotypes out there, right? we have sort of this, you know, inaction in congress. you have a president who is bashing congress and republicans charging him for being incompetent and causing

we saw what happens to sarah palin, michele bachmann. there is an entire chapter in my book about a tax on conservative woman. we are strong. we can take it commanded is time for us to stand up and say we have a voice and we happen to be female. this is our position. speak out. >> we see the implementation of -- common core being implemented at your and the effects that it is going to have on our school children. i mean, we have a grandson going into the fourth grade. we have already seen it for two years, the ideas that they are forcing down their throat, socialist ideas and so forth and so on. and all we can see out of that is that it is going to force exactly what you said to my continued attacks and continuing ignorance of history and women's place in history. >> well, i am not an expert at come in court, but my father is a public-school teacher and he has to deal with common core. he does not like it at all. one of the greatest atrocities that i think we have allowed to the

>> michele bachmann and ted cruz are writing the script for the republican party, a script filled with ugly and mean policies that dmonize children. you were saying all the children should get green cards and citizenship. now, late on a friday night, you are going after the dreamers who have known no other country but this one. >> late on a friday night. slip it on in there so the folks don't pay attention to it. paul ryan is walking thin line on immigration reform. he doesn't want to answer hard questions or get any actuality face-to-face. he is running for president. you can't do that and be for reform. if i had to bet on one horse in the race for the republicans, it would be this guy. that's right. unlike other republican hopefuls, he's not under indictment. he's not under investigation. most of all, he's been vetted. he's not a problem for republicans. the fact is, when he was on mitt romney's ticket, he came away unscathed. it was no big deal there. he's a clean gene and he's conservative. this is what the conservatives have been looking for, a guy that's not going to cause them a

then you hear from sarah palin and michele bachmann and then you come on and say, oh, no, we're not talking about impeachment. that's the democrats. all they're doing is taking advantage of the fact that you guys have demonized president obama to this extent. not only does it help him with fund raising, lots of people in the minority community see it as an attack on the first black president, so it's going to spur their turnout, which is going to be critical. >> i want to pick up on that point. do you think that the republican opposition to this president, you heard hakeem jefferies talk about hatred. is racial or do you think it's baseded on principles and policies? >> if you look at the core constituency, the people in support of impeachment, there's no diversity. it's a white, older group of people. as to whether or not it's racial. as president obama and others have said, there are some who don't like him because of his race, some who do. if you break it down as a matter of political analysis and say, who is this group, it reminds me that the republican party has become almost a complet

you hear from sarah palin, michele bachmann we use the impeachment word.talking impeachment that's democrats. democrats are taking advantage of the fact that you demonized president obama to this extent not only does it help them with fundraising, a lot of people especially in the minority communities see it an attack on the first black president. think it's unfair. it will spurn their turn out in mid-terms which will be critical in several races. >> i want to pick up on exactly that point. do you think that the republican opposition to this president, you heard hakeem jeffries talk about hatred, is racial or do you think it is based on principles and policies? >> well, all i can do is look at the numbers. if you look at the core constituency the people in tea party opposition support of impeachment there's no diversity it's a white older group of people. as to whether or not it's racial, look president obama and others said some people don't like him because of his race. some people who do like him. i would say if you break it down as a matter of politica

then they say, yeah, we have to find a way to get him and we hear from sarah palin and michele bachmann and others and they use impeachment word and then you say, no, the democrats are talking impeachment. the democrats are taking advantage of the fact you is demonized rebound to this extent because it is not only helping them with under if raising but a lot of people in the minority community see it as an attack on the first president and think it is unfair and it will spur their turnout which will be critical in several races. >> wait a second. i want to pick up on that point: do you think the republican opposition to the president, and you heard jeffries talking about hatred, is it racial or based on prince pelts and policy -- principles and policies? >> i can only look at the core constituency those in tea party opposition there is in diversity, it is a white older group of people but whether it is racial, rebound and others have said, some don't like him because of his race and some who do. i say if you break it down as a matter of political analysis and say, who is this group? it

we've seen what's happened to sarah palin, michele bachmann, there's an entire chapter in my book. but we're strong, and we can take it, and i think it's time for us to stand up and say, look, we have a voice too, and we also happen to be female, and this is our position. so, yes, speak out. >> katie, i have a question for you. we see the implementation of core -- [inaudible] common core. being implemented out here and the effects that it's going to have on our school children. i mean, we have a grandson that's going to fourth grade, and we've already seen it for two years. the ideas that they're forcing down their throats, the socialist ideas and so forth and so on, and all we can see out of that is it's going to enforce exactly what you've said, continue to tax and continued ignorance of history and women's place in history. >> uh-huh. well, i'm not an expert at common core, but i can tell you my father is a public schoolteacher, and he has to deal with common core, and he doesn't like it at all. he thinks it's pretty terrible. one of the greatest atrocityies i think we've allowe
