mrs. bennett be ready or what? you bet she'll be ready. i said on the radio, the whole squadron, oh, man, bill, your kid's a marine. he's not in the air force. okay, sorry. it's a squad. i'm learning, i'm learning. i'm learning. the spirit of 76 will govern next tuesday and wednesday. but let the spirit of november 2010 govern as well. remember what happened in november 2010? you were part of what happened in november 2010. let's do it again in november 2012. look, a couple of final considerations. we have a good, very smart, very decent, very optimistic, very energetic and very aggressive candidate for president of the united states on the republican ticket. a perfectly good, smart, and decent man. my wife knows mrs. romney and swears by her and those boys. if she does, i do. as i told my one-time host rick santorum, you're with him a hundred percent. he said 10-t2. we got a caller that said, how can i bring myself to romney? rick had a great answer. he said, if i can come to romney, you can come to romney.

mr. bennett, thank you so much. have you so much insight from your time spent with the prime minister. what do you think he and the people of israel want to hear from governor romney today? >> well, the israeli public is extremely concerned by the fact that iran is racing to acquire nuclear weapons. all the talks and sanctions have done nothing to stop this race. amid the talks, iran has tripled the pace of the production of the high-grade uranium and rapidly moving the facilities underground and the talks are doing nothing to stop it. so we expect a bipartisan support of israel in taking any action necessary to stop this. we also hope that america will help prevent the need of an attack by presenting a plausible threat on iran. >> jamie: i assume you are talking about the potential for military action. i want to ask you -- short of a promise that the military would back any action that israel needed to take from governor romney, would you accept anything less? and has president obama stepped forward? i think people would be surprised to learn that during his presidency, he has not vis

mr. bennett, who everyone agrees is a great defense attorney.upporters are telling me, sources i'm picking up from, look, sit down, have a fireside chat type of thing, explain what happened, what i did in it, what i didn't do. what it really is. take your chances in court because the court of public opinion is already starting to form opinions. >> you made the point that the city is firing on all cylinders in terms of making sure that the city government is doing what the people needed to do that may raise the question for some, does this matter really? as long as i as a citizen getting what i need from my city. >> you raise an issue that could take us a two-hour program for us to -- but to talk about d.c. politics. i'm not going to go there. >> but just to wrap this up, are people on the hill talking about this? members of congress watching the district government now? >> there's a buzz among staff and among members in private, but for they're not talking publ public publicly. i checked with issa, the oversight committee, speaker boehner, minor

mr. bennett's talk, rick santorum addresses the koran and video coverage. >> now, if you're anything like me, and i know i certainly am -- [laughter] you are tremendously impressed that summit 2011 former pennsylvania senator rick santorum was part of last year's terrific doubleheader on opening night, along with the governor of texas, rick perry. if you're anything like me and you live in colorado and participated in our caucuses in february, you are gratified to help senator santorum in a dramatic but this conference is. if you're anything like me your cm folly unchained -- the following two plays iraq obama with the conservative minded republicans such as mitt romney. we are very pleased that senator sam turin has set up this video message to the senate this year, since he and karen had hoped to attend in person, but they're in a well-earned family week. let's hear now from senator with rick santorum by video. >> i am sorry i can't be with you at the western summit. i welcome the response i got at the senate and more importantly, i want to thank all the folks in colorado for the wonder

mr. bennett says. my wife passed away in november from lymphoma. agree that everything is terrifically expensive and i would have spent more to have kept her alive for just a moment longer. i think the thing that made the experience most distasteful was that in the last few days her terminal diagnosis was passed along by a doctor that we had no connection with, who we had just met in the emergency room, abnnd then her oncologist essentially abandoned us for the last few days that she was alive. he did not call. he did not stop by to visit us. she had had time to set her affairs in order. she had gone through a rigorous transformation that transformed her lymphoma from a mild state into a very aggressive stage, so she knew that the end was coming. but the whole thing came down to the last week that essentially we were abandoned by our oncologist. she knew that it was coming, but the way that the final diagnosis came was very distasteful. i hope your experience was much better than ours. i can only support everything that you have to say about the fi

mr. secretary, i sure appreciate senator bennett being here the whole time. i can assure you i've been watching on television and i've learned a lot too. i admire senator bennett for being here the whole time. i've got some prepared questions but let me just follow up on what he says. two things. these carefully structured savings, carefully structured savings, they have to include savings in the entitlement programs like medicare and medicaid. that's correct, right? the witness is nodding his head. >> that's correct. the president has proposed hundreds of billions of dollars of savings in that area because as you know the long-term deficits are driven by mostly the ageing of america and rising health care costs. >> and for example the medicare program -- i think we all concede senator bennett has been outspoken on this -- a program that grows at three times the rate of inflation cannot be sustained and that's medicare at the present time. >> that's right. i think that even with the long-term savings in the affordable care act and even with what you might cal

bennett was proposing doing it at the national level with an individual mandate. the romney campaign response to the healthcare ruling left the rupert murdoch wall street journal editorial board to conclude today, mr. romney promised republicans he was the best man to make the case against president obama whom they desperately want to defeat. so far, mr. romney is letting them down. and "the new york times" reports today, mr. murdoch has never been particularly impressed with mr. romney, friends and associates of both men say. he really wanted christie. he's one of mr. murdoch's friends. joining me now is krystal ball, the co-host of msnbc's "the cycle" and chris hayes, the host of "up with chris hayes" and the author of the new book "twilight of the elites, america off the ameritocracy." do you mind if i just sit here and read the book? talk amongst yourself. what did you think of the tax/penalty thing. >> i thought it was fascinating for this reason. >> talk to her, i'm reading the book. >> here's what i thought was interesting. >> the entire book is a dissertation on the difference between a tax and a penalty. >> i'll be the background music. >> you be the bed as we say in the industry. here's
