think the process of mercy looks like probably car bombs in los angeles, washington, d.c., and des moinesar outside the mainstream. but every person you just heard is an organizer or featured speaker at the same event with ted cruz. this problem is much bigger than the cruz family. it extends deep into the underside of right wing politics. it isn't about faith of politics. it's about paranoia and hate. joining me now is michael keegan his right wing watch blog tracks this extremist red rik. and frank schaffer. he's shore of the book "and good said, billy." thank you both for joining me. >> thanks for having us. >> this is really rough stuff. but not unfamiliar to you. what is this really about? >> well, listen, you know, we've talked about this before. you're one of the only in the mainstream media that gets it. the fact is america does not have a right wing political problem. america has a right wing religion problem. and when they talk about losing our heritage and all the rest of it, this is a kind of religious delusion i talk about in my book "and god said, billy" which might as well

do you think governor chris christie is well-positioned to start flying to des moines, iowa? >> he is. it's a caucus state, it's very, very conservative. and if anybody believes he didn't take the heat and hit the tea party is out of their minds. he's been making this point over and over again. he's going to try to do this without the tea party and i think he wants to do it. >> and libertarian. >> libertarian. we're going to get to that next because the other governor's race we thought was going to be more of a blowout turned out to come right down to the wire. it was in virginia. here's cuccinelli who at the end of the night lost the race. >> despite being outspent by an unprecedented $16 million, this race came down to the wire because of obama care. that message will go out across america tonight. >> so, eric, most people, the conventional wisdom was he was going to lose big. i actually think the team mcauliffe team, their team sweat around the 7:30 hour when fairfax county came in, he was able to pull it off. >> i think maybe a couple of weeks ago he was up by 14 or so an

we'll put it up, tvs for christie aren't in washington but farmhouses west of des moines iowa, commuterwns of southern new hampshire. david axelrod, the strategist who launched obama on the national stage, tweeted on the sidelines before christie spoke taunting the clear threat to the future. ever see a large man shot from a cannon, he wrote, but will he have place to land in the gop. that referencing the large man, christie's weight has nothing to do with policy or issues but do you think it will still be a critical factor if he rans in 2016? >> his appeal in iowa are you asking? >> i think his weight. the fact axelrod referred to him as being a large man. is that doing to be an issue americans focus on. >> i think it's something christie himself referred to. he's been open about lap-band surgery. he makes jokes about his appearance. i think voters are often interested in candidate's health. they want a hale and hardy president. i think to the extent weight is a factor in that, it would interest voters. >> this week's election pretty big win for chris christie, anointed him as the repu

. >> in iowa, great screening in des moines. >> i don't know what i'm doing in 2016.t's more important who is running, what we would do if we would win the majority back, win the white house back. >> this is about do you want a barack obama-type policy in place in washington, d.c. or do you want a ronald reagan-type policy. this isn't -- this isn't a purity test. i think that most republicans do fall into the camp of, listen, if you don't win, you can't govern. >> please run, rick perry. scott walker took a giants packers game with a man who many think is the front-runner. meanwhile trying out new lines in iowa. >> it's been a year. a lot has happened. maybe we should come back and do this more often. people are really friendly here. i tell you. >> on the democratic side new republic made waves by floating an elizabeth warren. warren says she's not running but maryland's governor is. this weekend martin o'malley, the man most likely to challenge clinton doing his best to rev up crowds in new hampshire. >> let us believe in americans again, in ourselves, in our nation

. >> rick perry joins me from johnston, iowa, outside of des moines. >> i want to start with somethingou said at the start of the your speech last night criticizing all of washington and it sounded to me both political parties are about governing. i have to ask you because among the leaders of the shut down, should i have read into that that you are critical of the strategy and how republicans came to the situation during the whole government shut down? >> i think we all would have been further ahead if we focused specifically on obama care and the impact it was going to make. i thought ted did a great job of spending 21 hours focussed on that and talking about the piece of legislation that now we are seeing is an absolute abomination that is not anywhere near what the president said it would be. i think the country would have been a lot further along rather than getting size tracked on the shut down issue. the really issue of the day is obama care. it's the president of the united states who stood up in front of people for literally years who said if you like your policy, you can keep

i was in eighth-grader at the high school in des moines, and i remember looking at the clock when itame over the intercom, at our president had been killed. it was 12:40 central time, like it was in dallas. class.ber going back to we went through the motions. at 1:30 it was announced that the president had died. some of the girls in my class shrieks, started to cry. we were dismissed from class, and i remember my twin brother rob and myself walked home that day, as he often did from school, if it was a nice day, and i remember on grand avenue, walking home, the people -- and this was a busy street -- people have actually stopped their cars and had gotten out of their cars and were crying next to the cars. it is something that i will never forget. and very emotional. i am convinced that the 1950 tossed as we knew -- 1950's knew this is as the knew it, a personalism, idealism, naÏvetÉ, but i think the 1960's as we knew it started on november 22, 1963. the cynicism, the distrust of that were, the things not as they were before, and although i tend to be an optimist at heart, i do not th

if you are the kind of candidate who will go to them and not do the hour outside of des moines but gorthwest corner, i think they take that seriously. >> another part of reins here. iowa picked about 50% in terms of their success in predicting the presidential nominee. so as we look at the democrats, what does iowa mean for them? >> for the democrats? in the next election, i think it will be interesting to see if it's a coronation depending who runs. >> we look back to 2012 -- 2008 and that was very key. >> that was a big fight. also 2004 when john kerry came behind at the last minute and won. he had been pretty much swept the primaries after that. >> thank you for coming by this friday. happy friday. that wraps up things for me. a reminder leading up to veterans day, watching "taking the hill" hosted by patrick murphy right here on msnbc.

in des moines. what is she hoping to accomplish there? is this a warmup, so to speak? be cameras there, doctor. she is flogging a new book, getting in on the war on christmas bandwagon five years after bill o'reilly made it trendy. it's going to work. sharpe's job right now is to keep folks like you and me talking about sarah palin. it's easy to scoff and say oh, she is irrelevant, she can see oblivion from her house and i get those arguments. i think sarah palin is sort of like -- she does for the gop what jar jar binks did for "star wars" episode 1. she distracts the easily amused from a total lack of narrative. but the fact is, you know this, doctor, no major candidate will ever criticize her on the gop side. no politician outside of dick cheney has ever criticized her once, because for all the laughable aspects of her, she is still a king-maker and everybody wants her endorsement. >> well, it seems after ronald reagan she is the most teflon-like republican in a long while. but in the band of republican ideology, she is playing second fiddle to utah senator mike lee
