i have worked with mike allen for many years. i have known him for many years.o some degree, it was a meta- journalism exercise. mike is a character. but beyond being a character, an very private, he is also extremely successful, prominent, influential journalist and i wanted to try to reflect that. someone who has made washington work or him, but someone who drives the way people talk about and cover news around here. >> another person we do not know much about is matt drudge who drive the conversation. are these the only people that matter, or are they just people you picked? >> they are just people i picked. comprehensive. you have to pick people you think are typical and make a broader point. matt drudge, obviously very powerful websites, the drudge report is a powerful website. did not write about him -- first of all, he has been around as the late 1990's. i think it is pretty well established. i think olivia go to have suffered a little -- lit ago may have suffered a little bit because it is new. the washington post, the l.a. times has been around for a lo

mike allen, mike, we started with you.ust talking about since 2006, republicans have grimaced and hidden in the corners and they've -- oh, what are we going to do about -- these people on talk radio, these people on cable news that are saying these things that are driving off the very swing voters we need to get elected to the white house again. >> yeah. >> guts. they don't have guts to speak out against the treex emmists. mitt romney never had the guts to speak out against the most extreme elements in his party. and he lost in part because he followed extremists down a rabbit hole in iowa, in a caucus process, on immigration, and he got slaughtered among hispanic-americans because of it and he got beaten in other areas too because he never spoke out and had that famous bill clinton sister soldier moment that by the way conservatives cheered when it was a democrat doing it to extremists in his own base. >> right. and joe, if you don't have that moment, you don't need to worry about your debate format or your data gurus or

to go away. >> all right. >> let's go right now to chief white house correspondent for politico mike allenere with the morning playbook. mike, the president was facing some resistance from house democrats yesterday over his possible pick for the fed chairman during yesterday's meeting. of course we had a lot of congressmen not wanting larry summers to be the next fed chairman and, in fact, one congressman, walked to the microphone and said larry summers, bad choice. president obama reportedly told the session not to believe everything they read on-line and said he was being made out to be a, quote, progressive whipping boy and added summers was the rock of gill bra tar to try to work through the policies and turn the economy around and i'm not going to stand idly by and let his name disparaged and reputation trashed because people have a political agenda about who should or should not be the chairman of the federal reserve. mike, sounds like the president is standing by his man and sounds like he may have met -- >> it does. i have people telling me he should name his fed chairman. let this

chief white house correspondent mike allen a look at the playbook.to see you. >> good morning. >> talk cory booker questions this morning about the newark mayor in his finances as he gets ready for the senate primary which gets under way tomorrow. what's the question now? >> well the question is whether cory booker has been candid with voters about what's going on with his bank account. over the last week we've seen a number of stories calling into question the mayor's disclosures. now you mentioned tomorrow is that democratic primary. cory booker, according to the real clear politics, average a 41-point favorite for the real special election in october. he's only a 20-point favorite. so cory booker very secure. he's getting new scrutiny over the weekend "the new york post" confirmed with him, walked up to him at an event he continued to get payments from the law firm he had worked for while he was in office. this is legal. this was a settlement or a structured payout over five years from 2007 through 2011. but, "the new york post" points out, that d

my colleagues jim vandehei and mike allen did a very good job i think today of reporting the really as they put it more rose morose mood among the establishment in washington. you've got a couple of factors here. number one, the social issue set in which the republican party has essentially alienated a lot of voters whether you're talking about hispanic voters, black voter, female voters. and then on the sort of basic issues of governance, you have a party that is threatening to shut down the government so that it can defund obama care. the establishment doesn't like that. certainly a lot of voices in the party want to see it or just shut down the government for the purpose of shutting down on the government or let the nation default on its debt. any of those outcomes are horror for the governance model that i think your traditional establishment republicans want to see. >> but sam, this might not be evident in 2014 because all politics are local, and in those hyper partisan districts, the republicans could have a very good year and give them a false sense of bravado in 2014. >> these

. >> the chief white house correspondent mike allen has a look at the play book. good morning. here is what joe was talking about. the new jersey senate race between corey booker and the republican is now getting personal. mayor booker gave an interview to the washington post where he spoke about his private life including rumors that he is gay. booker who is single quoted saying how unfair is it to a young lady to put them in the spot light if they haven't signed up for that yet? and people who think i'm gay, some part of me thinks it's waufrl because i want to challenge people on their home phobia. that is in the interview yesterday in the "washington post." and then his rival called booker's answer, quote, weird but didn't stop there. he went on saying as a guy i personally like being a guy. booker likes to go out at 3:00 in the morning for a manicure and a pedicure. it was described as hisphetic. i have a more peculiar fetish. i like a good scotch and a cigar. he says it helps him with the gay vote by acting ambiguous. help us wade through this. does it add up to anything a

what a tremendous slate of speakers you have had from scott walker, mike huckabee, allen west. reminded of the time i was on an airplane. i was paged over the loudspeaker asking for tom cruise. and somewhat sheepishly, i came to the front of the plane, and i said, maybe you might be looking for me. you have never seen so many disappointed flight attendants. i am humbled to be in the gathering of the terrific leaders here. like my friend jenny beth martin, and i am even more humbled to be in a gathering in this room, via satellite, online, and across the country with people standing up to take this country back. i want to talk briefly about the past, present, and the future. we are seeing a paradigm shift for how we are going to take this country back. i will cut to the quick. the answer is empowering the grassroots. men and women standing up to bring us back to our founding principles. talking about the past, i will tell you about my campaign for the u.s. senate in texas. it started in january of 2011. i was at 2% in the polls. the margin of error was 3%. those were the real po

file a 13-d later today asking the company to immediately move to replace mike ullman as interim ceo with, if they are available, allenhairman of the board and ken hicks as ceo. the there's reports that others may be available for the appointments. they are trying to influence a board of directors that wants to take its time finding a permanent ceo, and time perhaps is not something that they have a lot of at this point, scott. perry capital in both a letter to the board of directors and in a 13-d that will be filed later today will report a 7.3% stake in the company and add its voice to those asking for the replacement of mr. ullman as soon as is humanly possible. >> david, if nothing else, right, this helps to bolster bill ackman's case, if he was looking for somebody to come out publicly on his side, he's just found one as the first other party, if you will, to come out in support of bill. >> yeah. you know, they -- i think perry capital has been in the stock for some time. it's been a 13g position for them, meaning we didn't necessarily know how large it was, and they claim potential turnaround at the company like

to take mike ullman out after less than that seems odd to say the least. the other is allenfind that somewhat peculiar. >> yet shares spiking almost 5% on that report. you have to wonder, are investors just to desperate for change. but, carl, as you have said, this has been perhaps as much of a distraction as anything. >> yeah. obviously there have been a lot of questions about ullman's tenure so far even though it hasn't been that long. for instance, returning to couponing, returning to sales. why has that not resulted in the immediate turns in comps which are getting easier over time? but obviously ackman is very impatient. he has a lot of fires burning right now and probably feels that perhaps, i'm guessing, this is his low hanging fruit. >> we know a 13-year low. the fact that as poorly as the company was doing when they decided to bring ron johnson in, unfortunately all that's happened is jcpenney has not managed to increase their share of the u.s. consumer wallet which we've been talking about all morning how much pressure consumers are under. you have to differentiate

allen was there. he didn't get the top jock. mike ullman did, ken went to footlocker, and he's done a fabulous job. i assume he was approach initially and he must have said no. i'm assuming allen questrom probably said no. apparently he -- or i think he already would be. so my guess is, when he says he wants somebody he can have chemistry with, it's somebody like ken, but there could be other candidates. i just can't think of who they are. >> so when you say chemistry, jan, you kind of hinted at this in what you just said. questrom may not be the c oeismt, but you believe if he comes back, he will have a very firm hand in the direction of the store. >> i don't think he would take the job. i don't think a person like ken hicks would take the ceo job unless they had an agreement of noninterference from major shareholders. otherwise it's too much of what we have seen so far. i think that's the only way he would come back. can he bring ken hicks back? i don't know, but somebody that would be able to work with him. >> why would somebody want to work with someone like quest rom if they wouldn't be rowanin

mike had this company the share value of this company was four times what it is now under mike's frame. under allenstrom, it was half, for people to continually floating that name are one person, that's bill ackman. >> come on, jeff. >> he is left with this term -- >> i know you are a fan of ullman's, he, himself, questrom was on this network saying that he wanted to come back under the right circumstances to try and right the ship. >> why would they ever want him back, todd? i'm not trying to market j.c. pen fibefore, 3.5 years, he left early. he left federated early. he has been caught up in lawsuits. neiman marcus, he sued them. >> when bill ackman took his position and he brought if ron johnson and replaced mike ullman, the board agreed to replace meek ullman at that point. i don't remember back to exactly what the state of j.c. penney's business was. i can venture to guess when ackman took his stake, the business wasn't going all that great under the last years of mike ullman. >> in the auto industry the housing industry, we are going through a tremendous financial collapse at that time. >> je

allen? >> before him. i am thinking of mike mcconnell. mike mcconnell was a navy captain on my watch when i was secretary of defense, on the joint staff. i got him promoted to three stars. he ran the nsa on my watch when i was at defense. mike hayden, in charge before alexander, and then went on over to run the cia. those are three gentlemen, all of whom commanded the national security agency at one time or another on my watch. i served on the intelligence committee, worked with them him a they all worked with me when i was secretary of defense. the secretary of defense controls the bigger part of the intelligence community that does the cia director. i know how hard they work to put together a good program and a program that would allow us to collect intelligence, while at the same time we safeguarded civil liberties of the american people. i am the one that took the request in to the president after i met with the c.i.a. director, the director of the nsa shortly after 9/11 and said that the experts tell me we could do more, we can learn

joining us now for a fair and balanced debate, radio show host allen colum colmes and mike gal.at to see you both. >> hi, shannon. >> shannon: mike, you're chucking. i'l-- chuck ling. the irs said they've taken steps and this is not supposed to be happening. >> shannon, i'm chuckling because we conservatives play this little game. what would be happening if this was occurring under a republican administration? we know that the "new york times", everybody would be going bonkers, all the major networks would be going crazy, you know. i mean, the bottom line here is the key in mike emanuel's report was the phrase words in a name as opposed to activity, and the truth of the matter is this is yet another huge bombshell that this administration stubbornly refuses to be fair to organizations that have tea party affiliations in any way shape, or form. then again, why would we expect an administration to be fair when you consider that they just broke the rules and unlawfully gave congress and their aides an exemption for having to pay the costs of obama care? there's nothing fair coming

mike shanahan greeting the injured kimbrough. >> a lot of guys come back and play for the redskins and a lot of that has to do with the coaches, the organization, the job that bruce allen has done and dan snyder has made to this football team an the way it's been built. >> smith dump it off and the titans having to move the chain there is a flag. the catch was made by reynaud. it's coming become. >> ten yard penalty. >> veteran left tackle barry richardson. >> how about the start to the regulation season for the titans they must start with two games on the road at pittsburgh at houston. >> you have to find out how good both sides of the ball are. pittsburgh you just not sure. they are going through a lot of change and not certain what you are going to get. roethlisberger getting to know one another. they lose mike wallace which by the way has a shot at the division. tom brady is a great quarterback but when you lose your top five receivers. >> penalty is declined. 4th down. >> titans start with two on the road end annext three at home. 11 straight pre-season home game. that streak could come to an end tonight. >> that mean nothing but it's a great fact to know just in

was asked by bill, would you come back and replace mike illman, the guy there now trying to fix the company, and hi said, come back, and this is what allenaid about the state of the company, he's the quote. the key to the company is not the ceo, but people believing in the company and putting in the work, the company has to come together and say how we will make the company attractive. okay. people, wall street, investors. does wall street believe in jcpenney? we're looking at that right nowment lauren? >> that is one of the hardest questions to answer. this has been such a story. you know, the resignation of ackman could bring peace to the board r at least, but no peace to wall street, not today. look at it, down 3.2% for jcpenney, shares near their annual low they hit on friday, 12.74. it's level now. jcpenney has a host of issues, we know about them, in the back to school season, a key season, and no one's expecting great numbers from jcpenney. liz, and, you know, you have to remember when a new ceo does eventually come into to replace ullman, without having ackman in the picture, it could be a good thing to attract candidates; right?

we know allen was approached in april but didn't want to come back at that point. in fact he endorsed miketrong choice to help stabilize the financial situation. and many believe ullman did stabilize at least the near term liquidity risk and did the right thing with coupons and private label brand. but hasn't been enough to truly bring the needle forward. there is a request for comments about what is going on there and comment and reaction to what happened with this ackman letter. >> pretty unbelievable. in such a short pooheriod of ti to have some much uncertainty in the corner office there. no wonder the stock performed so poorly. >> and no new names. is there nobody new that could come in? and all of the people running j th penny for the last what number of years? and allen questrom coming back too. >> and a lot of people think there is such low expectations that anyone could come in and move the needle and everyone would be happy with that and who would want to take this job? so it is hard to say if they want a new ceo in 30 to 45 days. remember you have to think about things like nonc

allen west. good morning to you good morning ainsley and mike. how are you doing?re doing great. what's culture arising. i am really concerned about what i see in the black community. my father was a world war ii veteran. i find this absolutely disgusting what happened to mr. benton. you also look at what happened in oklahoma. you think about the three black teenagers beat the turned them in for selling drug. also, look at the case, this trial in marietta with the black teenager who shot the 13-month-old baby in the face. we know what's happening in chicago. leading right back to what really is a disease. a breakdown of the family. when you have 72% of black children born out of wedlock. this is what the end result is. the failing education systems in the inner city. you know, we have people that fight against school choice. and it's very disturbing and i think that on this 50th anniversary of dr. king's i have a dream speech, i want to see how many people are talking about and addressing these issues or is this just going to be empty platitudes and soaring rhetori

one point, he was all for the new ceo, mike ulman who came on board in april to replace ron johnson only lay later to say he was not hot on him after all enmented alleneman from foot locker to take the place. he's had a lot to say, and he has been criticized greatly, and so now down 3.5%, jcpenney, but he and the last part of this saying "our success is vastly overwhelmed our failures," but admits mistakes in retail investments. we have to figure out how to get out of jcpenney. back to you. dennis: not as easy as it looks, is it, nicole? thanks very much. cheryl: following, of course, what's happening in the targets, and a lot of stock picking may be going in over the next six months, investors at this point, also today, waiting with baited breath for the latest fed meeting two hours from now. the chief investment strategist, rob, a favorite stock picker, of course, and i want to ask about the retail sector, but data coming out today, housing starts out, waiting on the minutes from the fed, but the big question here is, in your opinion, is the employment data strong enough to force the fed to start tapering? >> well, cheryl, if you look at the weekly

allen? >> before him. i am thinking of mike mcconnell.e mcconnell was a navy captain on my watch when i was secretary of defense, on the joint staff. i got him promoted to three stars. he ran the nsa on my watch when i was at the fence. mike hayden, in charge before alexander, and then went on over to run the cia. those are three gentlemen, all the nationalnded security agency at one time or another on my watch. i served on the intelligence committee, worked with them him a they all worked with me when i was secretary of defense. the secretary of defense controls the bigger part of the intelligence community that does the cra -- than does the cia director. i know how hard they work to put together a good program and a program that would allow us to collect intelligence, while at the same time we safeguarded civil liberties of the american people. i am the one that took the president to the after i met with the c.i.a. director, the director of the nsa shortly after 9/11 and said that the experts tell me we could do more, we can learn a lot
