mike lee and bob bennett where tea party backed mike lee.ne, the tea party -- don't forget. ted cruz didn't win the election. he scored lower but the margin was thin so it went to another primary runoff primary. he won with substantial amount of the vote. because the tea party got behind this guy. they're in out frons. at the senate level. >> greg: the cruz victory reiterates the impact of a party that the media revileed. i'm still waiting for the candidate from occupy wall street to come out. somebody has to post their bail. >> kimberly: oh, my goodness. >> greg: cheap shot wednesday. >> kimberly: concern? are the democrats saying tea party has power? >> bob: shaking in our boots. before the primary, the democrats had no chance in texas. now they have a chance. one thing about the tea party, they can be effective in the republican primaries and caucuses. the turn-out was not high. it can have an impact. give them credit for the impact. they nominated a guy way off to the right. canadian. he's cuban. i mean, mexican americans and cuban ameri

avenue got senator mike lee of utah. senator marco rubio of florida. senator pat toomey of pennsylvania. former senator from pennsylvania, rick santorum, who -- >> any of those are better than paul ryan? >> bobby jindal of florida -- i think so. yes. i think so. they don't bring the inside washington culture that paul does. paul is a good man. he's carrying yeoman work in terms of reforming the entitlement program. but he's not going to bring the excitement that's needed at the grassroots level to bring these millions of disaffected right of center voters back into the republican party like the tea party did in 2010. >> is romney doing enough to support the tea party movement? some suggest that his campaign is really in trouble. your friend laura ingram today, a conservative talker, says that she doesn't want to be the skunk at the garden party. but romney's losing. do you believe that? >> well, campaign does seem to be running like a dry creek, ed. you know, this is a vulnerable president. he should be able to be beaten and beaten fairly easily. but r

i tried to help mike lee on, as did supervisor kim. it did not work. i did it. i have worked very hard to keep it open, and to give it to stay as the eagle, and sometimes we want to view ourselves so powerful that we can make things happen, and this is one of the frustrating experiences where you try and think you have influence, but you end up having a lot less influence that you actually have. with that said, we are in the situation we're in, and i will support the motion to continue the motion to september 10. we will give the new owners time to do our reach for the information that has to be gathered and come back to the committee so the committee and board can make an intelligent decision about the liquor license transfer. i want to know that as the new owners, and i said this last week, i stepped and a little bit of a cow pie here, because there is a history, and people have been very angry at property owners. they actually took their liquor license out of the premises with them. i think they have not done anything wrong. there were timing issues, and ther

we have senator mike lee of utah, senator marco rubio of florida, senator pat tumi of pennsylvania. former senator from pennsylvania, rick santorum. >> any of those are better than paul ryan? >> bobby jindal of louisiana -- >> any better than paul ryan? >> i think so. they don't bring the inside washington culture that paul does. paul is a good man. he's a caring yeoman work in terms of reforming the entitlement program, but he's not going to bring the excitement that is needed at the grassroots level to bring the millions of disaffected right of center voters back into the republican party like the tea party did in 2010. >> well, is romney doing enough to support the tea party movement? and some suggest that his campaign is really in trouble. your friend laura ingram who is a conservative talker, says she doesn't want to be the skunk at the garden party, but romney is losing. do you believe that? >> his campaign does seem to be running like a dry creek, ed. this is a very vulnerable president. he should be able to be beaten and beaten fairly easily. but romney, he seems to be surro

republican mike lee attached an amendment to a cyber security bill that senators are looking at this week. that measure would ban abortions in d.c. after 20 weeks of pregnancy. that is the exact same as the house bill that failed by 70 votes last night. lee's amendment is expected to meet the same fate in the democratic controlled senate. >>> the maryland man accused of threatening a mass shooting at his workplace faces criminal charges but not for weapons or attempted murder. it's telephone misuse and the prosecutor is not happy about it. she says maryland's law has tied her hands and left the public threatened by similar suspects. scott broom has more on the single misdemeanor charge. >> reporter: the charge against 28-year-old neil prescott is telephone misuse, a misdemeanor. prescott, the man who threatened to splatter brains of his victims all over the sidewalk to, go joker on his former workplace, recalling the mass shooting in the aurora colorado theater july 20th and who had an arsenal of 25 guns, mostly assault rifles, when he was arrested. he's getting off too easy prince g

on issues of trying to win the war in afghanistan, mike lee and i are the two republicans who have signed letters encouraging the president to end the war in afghanistan, and i think the public's coming around. i'd say 60, 70% of the public is ready for the war to be over. even in republicans. we've been through ten years of this. we won the war, we killed bin laden, we disrupted the terrorist base, but we just don't have enough money to keep trying to create nations. >> host: okay. one more question. what do you think about the fact that sometimes democrats use you as the evil bogeyman in the campaigns? >> guest: i think that means you're being effective in the sense that you're a loud enough voice that they make a target for you. but i think i'm not easily identifiable as just being a partisan. i don't really believe in empty partisanship. i've ridden on air force one with the president to try to find money for building bridges, suggested we bring home some foreign aid and some of that money that foreign welfare we're sending overseas could be used for bridges here. i've suggested a bil

one of the few politicians to understand that is utah senator mike lee. am glad you're there with all those socialists. i'm glad you understand it. you've got it. your father used to talk about the constitution at the breakfast table. >> yes. and the lunch and dinner table as well. we talked about it a lot. >> what is going on? how do you see this happening? how do you see it ever being solved? >> it's easy. they want to speak and flossie glowing terms about things that some property an exemption will. let's have clean air. >> i'm for clean air. >> to visit. then we outsourced the task of defining what clean-air means and how that's going to be enforced. those people who make those rules which are, as you point out polos. those people aren't elected and don't work for anyone who is elected. that's a problem. john: you wrote a book. tapis 70 talk about the federal regulatory monster. >> yes. lost among most of them, are not being passed, not being put in place by people who are elected. this is utterly incompatible with article one section one an article o

gregg: utah senator mike lee joins us live.senator, thanks for taking a few moments to be with us. what about that? did the speech, those words in particular and other words, did they excite the tea partiers? >> you know i think they excite and resonate with those of us who believe in constitutionally limited government. we want to see somebody who is willing to say the government is not the solution to all of our problems. that is what we heard from governor romney last night. we don't need more taxes. we don't need more government programs. we need to unlock the unlimited human potential of the american people and allow them to do what they do best. gregg: when he was governor of mass massachusetts he was known as a centrist. is he conservative enough? >> he goof earned as a conservative. he governed as much as a conserve as he could with 85% of the ledge late ture in control of the democratic party. it is important at this point in our country's history, that he continue to fight for conservative prince mills and -- principl

kingmaker," with you, behalfing ted cruz and he won, and you took out lieu -- lugar and you backed mike leeand he beat senator bennett of utah. i feel the tea party wave is receding and dill not be as big a factor in this election as it was in 2010. >>eric: what about that? >>guest: the man is out of town. the tea party was not receding or dead in 2010 when the family got this centurioned lobbyist in washington, dc was beaten and the tea party not receding or dead in the 2012 election. as evidenced by cruz and people doing so well, such as in missouri and nebraska. throughout the country, really, you will see many tea party patriotic types, average americans who put their name forward in the name of service to our country to take government back, get it off our back and put it open our side. you will see a lot of these tea party-backed candidates do extremely well, as evidence of the tea party being alive and well. >>eric: and what about the convention? i were governor romney i would be saying, let's get sarah palin, let's get her on the line. has he extended an invite to you for the conven

lee. [applause] >> thank you, tiffany. well, mike, i just want to make sure you know all of us own this two-word mantra. jobs now has been something we have all heard and i know leader pelosi has said it time and time again, whether she is here or in the air or if she lands in d.c., we have to have these jobs for the american people. that's what has been our joint mantra. i want to just let you know how thankful and happy i am to join our partners at ucsf. leader pelosi, a good friend, to let you know we were hanging out here a few minutes ago. every time we come together is because we are sharing good news about the efforts we have committed to ahead of us and behind us. so we were commenting on that. we have got if keep this in context. less than a decade ago, we were august all looking at a rail yard and people said in san francisco we worked with labor. i want to thank members of our redevelopment agency, the commissioners who are here today that are no longer technically commissioners but they are just as committed today as they

mike lee earlier today attached a 20-week washington, d.c.bortion amendment to a cyber security bill up for consideration this week. what's going on here? attaching this bill to the cyber security bill? >> well, again, we need the cyber security bill. the defense department says so. our business community says so. consumers advocates say we need this. yet we want to load up with these amendments. i think the important thing here is that at one time i cheaired the district of columbia meeting. i said i shouldn't be here because the united states congress should not be telling the district of columbia what to do. it ought to be an independent state and have its own congress people and have its own two senators. >> that could vote. >> and congress should not be intervening in that in any way. >> all right. thank you, senator. i'm going to have to leave it there. always a pleasure to see you and have you on. thank you for your time tonight. >> thanks, al. see ya. >>> still ahead, sarah palin is taking aim at dick cheney. could mitt romney be next

tonight a conversation with spike lee, the director whose latest production is called mike tyson undisputed truth t is on broadway and his fill some called redhook summer. >> it is storytelling and that's why i didn't realize this, that's why i do so many things because i want to tell different stories in different mediums. whether it be a 30 second commercial, michael jordan or michael jackson video. or malcolm x, denzel or the two documentaries, two documentaries in new orleans or now broadway, it's all storytelling. >> we conclude this evening with a look back at the life and words of gore vidal. >> si have done pretty much what i wanted to do. i'll give a little advice out there for those who who worry about their place in the world. always remember that it is of no consequence to you what other people think of you. what matters is what you think of them. that is how you live your life. >> rose: spike lee and gore vidal when we co funding for charlie rose was provided by the following:tnqymp captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie r

like through his rhetoric and the county campaign he ising if to align with someone like demint or mike leeutah who are concerned with a ideological impurity and if he chooses that, it will embolden that section of the caucus. going ford, if runs were to gain the senate majority, i think that governing would be difficult for republicans because you have this faction that is going to be against what some of the more moderate or main freedom republicans will be for. >> so are you talking about government even more divided than it is today? >> it's like what ross was saying, that there are divisions within the republican party in washington as well as texas, that republicans may have senate majority in 2013 bust it's going to be hard to get major legislative passed because it will be tough to decide what needs to be done going forward. >> it's tough to keep an eye on on. we will do that. nathan and ross ramsy, thank you both. >> thank you. >>> still to >> ifill: still to come on the "newshour": the federal reserve and the weakening economy; the rich living alongside the rich; the murder rate i

of yoirkts tom lee -- mike udall of new mexico. both democrats and republicans. it sounds like you can generalize that mormons would tend to be more one party. guest: you will see that there are more republicans than there are democrats. harry reid is the highest-ranking mormon in public office right now. obviously romney wants to trump him on that. there are democrats who are good mormons. i know several who believe that actually if you're a good mormon you should be a good democrat. the republicans obviously disagree with that. it is monolithic, though. you do not have to be a republican if you are mormon. there's a fascinating history with mormons and republicans. the first platform that the republican party had was anti-bigamy, which is the polygamy of the l.d.s. church in the 1870's, 1880's, 1860's. the relics of barbarism and slavery. now they've come around and now we have a mormon republican nominee. host: we will begin with south carolina. mary, a democrat. caller: good morning. i have a question. a couple months back, i r

now there is mike lee from utah. right?nd others that could really change the complextion of the u.s. senate that could be the body that somehow or another was able to work together to get things done. >>could be the body that somehow or another was able to work together to get things done. >> >>? >> the flavor has changed right now. also, continuing that direction, i think the old. you will see the rise of senator demint. he is part of that as a backer of conservative candidates generally speaking, we are talking about in primaries, against incumbents but him, you know, freedom works, the group for growth outside interest groups pouring money into can candidacy candidacynd candidacynds and tea party can dancies particularly are going to rise. they will have the ability to stop inflation whether it's the democrats moving it and get control of the senate and will be a block. we have seen this before. we have seen this before. we have seen this within a bloc within a party. it's not unusual. democrats had a strong liberal blo

the guy who has to top that now is senator mike lee. from the fine state of utah. and talk. >> indeed, it is. neil: do you do the wave? >> always, and i'm appalled you don't. what kind of american are you? sometimes you have to give into that a little bit to enjoy the game. neil: i guess so. >> confront your fears, face them. neil: you're right. are republicans facing their fears, we talk about entitlements, bad idea. they will tackle it. if you talk about the debt, they will talk about it. if you talk about the virtues of wealth it will come back and they will talk about the virtues of wealth. either they're crazy or wise, which is it? >> it is wise. we were talking about a song on the radio, i said what is up with this song? says it is not bad if you don't think about it. a lot of the things we have to talk about are not bad if you don't have to think about it. but they are bad if you think about it. we have to talk about it and we have to address it. neil: and i like it, i always fear every time we do, look at how paul ryan was vilified for just trying to rein i

that is tomorrow on "cbs this morning saturday." >> we're talking about how mike tyson changed. we can say spike leee days. >> fun conversation. >> i think so, too. i think he raises really good points about mike tyson. jeff, so nice to be with you. >> so great to be with you, as always. >> that will do it for us. as we leave you, we take a look back at the week that was. have a great weekend. . >> man with a gun! white t-shirt. >> deadly shooting at a sikh temple near milwaukee. >> wade michael page shot six people to death and wounded three more. >> police say they're investigating this as a domestic terrorism type incident. >> what happens is in god's hands. say what are my options here? >> if there is an exit policy for him to go out, where well you go? >> just ask the middle class to pay more in taxes, it's like robin hood in reverse. it's romney-hood. >> if i'm president, i'll put work back in welfare. >> getting hotter out there, isn't it? >> yes. >> one major issue needs to be decided, a running mate for romney. >> vice presidents don't win for the president, they lose for the president. >>
