mr. miller? >> the fence has been voted on in congress is authorized but senator murkowski voted against the funding several times as well as many others in congress that are not showing leadership. we have to build a fence. we have to build something. that is the first step. otherwise you not only are dealing with an illegal alien issue but a national security issue. and even a health issue. we have third word diseases springing up like wildfire in southern states particularly california. you can't maintain national integrity without border security. it has to be done on the southern border. but there are other things to do. we can't vote for amnesty as senator murkowski. you can't build something so people break the law to gain benefit. we have to take care of the problem. the fence is the first step and then design other reforms to make sure they are not able to get in. >> you have gotten heat for referencing east germany as a country that was able to protect its border, have a wall. do we sho

mr. miller, would you have done instead? >> anytime you look at a business and say it is too big to fail it is a mistake. that is not based on the free enterprise system. if you look at a government nearing bankruptcy and think you can spend $800 billion to bailout businesses that make bad business decisions, i think we're fooling ourselves. effectively we have delayed the inevitable. we have the created a slowing of the process but it does not diverted entirely. we need to ask ourselves as to whether or not it is even a proper moral courage to sit back and say we will burden the generations of tomorrow because that is what we have done when me spend $800 billion we do not have. we put the burden on our children. that, again, raises the question as to whether it is appropriate. >> senator murkowski, you voted for it that you say you now regret that. is that because it is unpopular? >> not so much because it was unpopular. what happened under tarp and the authorization came through, we had subsequent efforts by the democratic

mr. miller, the guy you admire?earmarks are a thing that will soon be of the past. >> was at an earmark? >> i do not know whether it was or not. they do not want earmarks. it is the single most corrupting influence in legislation today. >> mr. mcadams? >> no, i do not believe it was an earmark. i think that the expansion of tribal sovereignty here in alaska is the right thing to do. >> thousands of alaskans age 65 and older can i get in to see a doctor because of their medicaid plans and doctors will not take them through what is the solution? >> i and the candid in this race that believes we need a fully funded medicare program. we have to manage a caseload of seniors at so that they can pay their bills. to many of our doctors are forced to write with a file cabinet. mr. miller talked about the need to privatize medicare. senator -- senator murkowski voted to cut medicare by $6 billion to read in 2010, you voted to reduce medicare by 20% and voted in an appropriations bill to not fund a clinic. we need a united sta

mr. miller? >> i think it ought to be limited. we can't go around thinking that we are in charge of basically establishing peace and prosperity around the globe. right now, the deficit is such that we do not have the capacity to carry on the type of that efforts we have in the past. >> i believe that we should be involved in the humanitarian mission. we're recognizing what we can do to eliminate disease, what we do to eradicate human trafficking. these are issues that we should be involved in. i believe the ritualest nation in humanity does have an obligation to those who are less fortunate. >> this question comes from neal o'donnell. would you support eliminating the filibuster in the interest of breaking gridlock in the senate? senator murkowski isn't that >> i have suggested we need to look at how the filibuster is applied when it comes to our judicial nominees. i think that our judicial branch has been somewhat stymied by the process that is allowed in the senate. i think that right now washington, d.c. is broken, and the proc

mr. miller and but are concerned -- >> do you think he can win? well, i think polls are very close now between senator murkowski and joe miller, and what we want to make sure of is that the democrat doesn't win. bob's candidate doesn't win in november. >> and, senator menendez, your candidate there, you're pouring a lot of money in to hope that he actually can win in alaska. >> well, we're not pouring a lot of money in, but we believe that scott mcadams actually has a real chance of winning this race. mr. miller has obviously plummeted because it's about ideology versus about alaska. lisa murkowski wanted to privatize social security and i think there's a real opportunity here. >> do you think looking at the poll, looking at what we've just seen, do you think this is as bad as 1994? >> no, this is not 1994. number one, in 1994 the republican brand, its image was much better than it is today. in every poll democrats as a brand fare much better, and, secondly, in 1994 it was a surge at the end. we've known that this midterm election is going to be c

you five disagree i'll just come to you and see mr miller that if i disagree with the ideas you want me to implement they go against my personal views. accept my resignation says a lot of presidential advisors and chairman of the presidential council for the promotion said no society institutions and human rights spotlight will be back shortly after a break stay with us. for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. wealthy british style the stock. market. scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max conjure for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines two kinds a report on. the nature and discover it's easy. to. lose. communicate with the wild. test yourself and become free to. see nature can you see the. the close up team has been to the cycling region. where the biggest russian salmon caviar processing factories located. argy goes to northern paradise where many still live off the last. days are being found to fight economic. issues first free elections red. thousand ye

mr. miller took a trip to d.c.n succession on his twitter account. think i'll do some house hunting while i'm in d.c. then there's the matter of a name block for the door and finally my sincere appreciation for the welcome, including from future colleagues in d.c. after one of joe miller's opponents what canned him, all of those tweets magically disappeared from his twitter account. not only did they disappear, his spokesman blamed the tweets on a volunteer, who will no longer have access to the account. i didn't write those tweets, who me? must have been some volunteer? now, it may have been a rogue joe miller, if so, maybe rick sanchez can draft that volunteer. but at this point it sort of seems like all of these top tier republican candidates are getting the same advice -- blame someone else. i mean, the republican party has invested a lot in all of these races. is there somebody at republican headquarters steering all these campaigns, telling them all to say, don't blame me, blame a staffer? is that the advice

think is scaring the establishment so much so much that he had to hire private defense contractors mr joe miller so i thought i was going to be justin bieber but there it's all he's a very. look at that face it looks like he dipped his lower face in this in this dirt and that's america this rugged rugged american democracy yeah so i got a good feeling about this don't you think it all you guys all i could feel so good first of all we're going to rock second of all we're going to roll third of all we're going to be the kings and queens of america which is how it should we are going to take america that you and i can take america back what we say we run twenty twelve. oh my god the b.z.'s fun yet totally you can be in charge i just want to stare at things in a weird way to freak people out so i'll be the v.p. is a high five i work so i don't live in fact i have no interest in public office because i'm a servant of this nation of its people most of all i'm a servant of god true as are you yeah and that's what makes us off some americans that's it for tonight's rather buddy hope you've enjoyed this

mr. miller that would run for congress as an libertarian. i found that out later. i didn't even know what that was. i grew up in a democratic family, working class people. he made a prediction that the elimination of the gold standard would take our dollar and have it totally controlled by whatever wall street decided to do with it. host: you think bringing the gold standard back is a way for administration to better regulate. caller: i think the president has been too easy on wall street. i don't know if there's any president really making a reform right now. host: greg in jacksonville, florida. caller: thank you. i'm surprised at some of the responses i am hearing from people calling that the president of the administration has not been or should be softer on wall street. they are responsibly for what has happened for the country today. i think there should be more government regulation on wall street. primarily because as one of your callers said before, they created this mess along with aig and others enriching themselves and getting bonuses in the face of fail

mr. miller is, what does he think regarding the independent voter turnout because poles can say one thing but the physical turnout for someone is quite different. i am just stunned at california, jerry brown is even leading given the fact of their economic situation. host: who are you going to vote for for governor? caller: i will vote for rick snyder. host: the republican. caller: yes. guest: independent voters are motivated to vote and they will really be the deciding factor in this race. independent voters are the fastest-growing electorate out there. they are motivated to vote. sort of disgusted by both parties. they are preferring republican candidates. we broke this down by income. if you are and independent the new reported that you were making under $50,000, then it you were more likely to favor the democratic candidate. anywhere from $50,000 to over $100,000, you were more likely to favor republicans. independent voters this cycle are leaning toward the republicans. host: three:tweets in -- do you know anything about that? guest: jerry mcnerney do well against his republican chal

mr. miller. let me read a little bit from the e-mail.joe and yet he can't answer a simple question. is sarah palin qualified to be president? is that someone being a protective husband or plotting a presidential bid? a blog up in alaska picked it up. first to publish it. todd palin said, actually, i'm a little sorry. i think we got the wires crossed and sent this statement to a conservative magazine here in washington, d.c. quote, my family has worked hard in supporting joe miller and when i heard he said something less than supportive of my wife's efforts i responded but joe didn't say anything like what i've been told. miller was on fox again yesterday saying some kind words of sarah palin. said she elevated the debate and done some phenomenal things for the country. asked again if she was qualified to be president, he said, constitutionally qualified. not the ringing endorsement. michael steele-barack obama. will they have a beer summit? a story up on cnnpolitics.com talking about that subject. in fact, michael steele told me that he'

mr. miller? >> of course she is. you look at who we have in office right now and compare the two, there is no comparison. >> senator murkowski. >> if she were to run right now i would not support her as president. >> reporter: well, today the president's actually taking a day off from the campaign trail. he's going to meet with americans involved with the rescue of those miners in chile, but this weekend he returns in full force visiting five states for the final push. matt? >> savannah guthrie at the white house. as always, thank you very much. john heilemann is national political columnist for "new york magazine." mark halperin is senior political analyst for msnbc and "time." they collaborated on "game change" which is out in paperbook. i want to start with money. you're hearing a lot of democrats, even the president, complaining about money pouring in from republican groups into some races across the country, and yet if you look at the numbers out there, democrats across the country in congressional races are far

they involve joe miller and todd palin. mr. palin says there's no story here, nothing to see, folks, move along. but a leaked e-mail he sent to joe miller and others hints at his sharp political teeth and perhaps, perhaps sarah palin's presidential ambitions. the e-mail and one from miller to his campaign aassociates followed a fox news appearance where the nominee was asked, quote, would you support her, meaning palin, for president. look at his answer. >> would you support her for president? >> you know, we've been asked that question before. >> really? i'm surprised. >> there are a number of great candidates -- i have been, actually. but we have had a number of people that have introduced their names as potential candidates in 2012. certainly palin is on the top of that ticket. you've got a number of folk that any one of which would be better than president obama. >> now, here's the e-mail that that appearance apparently triggered from todd palin. quote, sarah put her ass on the line for joe and yet he can't answer a simple q

the question is what did miller say publicly that set off mr. and mrs.rama as miss palin finds herself on the brink of elimination on dancing with the stars. the question is did americans send bristol home or was she bailed out by margaret cho? way too early for it this.

there decided to launch perestroika ok let's do it together and then right mr gorbachev you start from above will start from miller going to. many coal mines were given a measure of independence now the cash available to the miners directly depended on coal sales basically that's what compelled them to strike. that will stand until the final decision is made. prime minister nicolette rushkoff to himself came from a mining family went to negotiate with the miners the negotiations involve some very hard words. when the risk of came here to face people from all over this town his facial expression abruptly changed the brigade realised that here were the people he was supposed to be working for it wasn't just a faceless small. i would have liked to see you facing coal miners and talking to them i can tell you it's not a pleasant experience but. if you knew you had to say something to them what did he say. think about it and make a decision. he said. at that moment the black faced masses of people with coal dust all over their overalls breathed out as one would agree. that enough is enough. this was all first slogan en

mr. kelly? >> some of you might know my next-door neighbor, dick miller. he is voting for me, marlene tran, and ms. jackson. i want to give a shout out to others. there are a bunch of neighborhood candidates not here at the table tonight. there are candidates at the supper table. we know there are folks who've moved into the district to run. that is fine. that is democracy at work. i have no problem with that. we do need to ask one question that they need to answer. the real question is if you are going to move your home to run, i trust that you know the issues. i want to make sure that you are always going to keep the interests of the district of heart and not your own. if you move your home to run, how will you vote? >> mr. lacy. >> we need to make sure that whoever we support as a second or third person on the ballot would have a commitment to the district and the important issues we're discussing and also the ability to execute when they take office. it is another thing to know the issues and another thing to build a consensus necessary to get some of
