we talk about sarah palin's consultants. there is this palin paradox. let me read this. sarah palin wants to be a defender of the middle class while chartering $27,000 private plane flights andburg through enough cash on consultants to feed a small village for a year or two. as much as advancing a political cause, sarahpac is a lifestyle play, propping up an expensive ideological entourage." how can she have it both ways, guys? >> well, the key is, like i said, when you're contributing to a political action committee, you're hoping that your money goes to support candidates who represent your views and values. and the big picture here is rahan touches on his book, if we rebuild the republican party, we need to appeal to the working class conservatives and voters. we need to appeal to the social conservatives. we need to appeal to the fiscal conservatives. and that's when people get to pacs, they're hoping to bring those people in. if we can't learn anything frels this past election, we have to appeal to the working class americans, working class conservatives in this cou

here is my problem with sarah palin.e republican establishment is scripted. sarah palin called her own party people scripted. that's the greatest of all the most ironic things that i have heard in my 46 years of life. >> what do you mean by that? >> that's exactly my point. >> you guys are good. >> she's irrelevant to the process. >> our next topic, wall street soaring. the dow went up for the tenth straight day on thursday before dipping a little bit on friday. question to you, jimmy, do you think the rest of the country is feeling it? >> this gets into my winners and losers. i'm glad you have done this. here is what i think. i think that the economy is coming back. i think it's coming back tepidly and slowly but as larry kudlow and i talked about last night, we agree, we have hope, we have optimism. house something doing well in certain parts of the country. i mean, escalation clauses of major urban areas, d.c., new york, et cetera, et cetera, san francisco. the question is what's happening in the middle of the country

at cpac this weekend, once again sarah palin could not have been clearer.laring as loudly as she possibly could that she is a comedian first, political commentator second. let's just sit back and enjoy the comedy stylings of sarah palin, including all the i hate the president jokes. as you watch this, the point of it for me, i want you to picture all of the political reporters and all of the political pundits and all the newspapers, "the new york times," "the washington post," who so gravely misunderstood sarah palin for so long and who failed to comprehend on the day she quit her governorship that she was quitting politics and entering show business. >> ted cruz like a good texan comes to town, chews barbed wire and spits out rust. that's what we mean. i was thinking how much i like texans. one reason, they don't mess around with our second amendment rights. and background checks? yeah, i guess to learn more about a person's thinking and associations and intentions, more background checks. dandy idea, mr. president. should have started with yours. remember

we talk about sarah palin's consultants. there is this palin paradox. let me read this. sarah palin wants to be a defender of the middle class while chartering $27,000 private plane flights andburg through enough cash on consultants to feed a small village for a year or two. as much as advancing a political cause, sarahpac is a lifestyle play, propping up an expensive ideological entourage." how can she have it both ways, guys? >> well, the key is, like i said, when you're contributing to a political action committee, you're hoping that your money goes to support candidates who represent your views and values. and the big picture here is rahan touches on his book, if we rebuild the republican party, we need to appeal to the working class conservatives and voters. we need to appeal to the social conservatives. we need to appeal to the fiscal conservatives. and that's when people get to pacs, they're hoping to bring those people in. if we can't learn anything frels this past election, we have to appeal to the working class americans, working class conservatives in this cou

palin vs. rove. now, this epit tom mizes, does it not. a split in the republican party, the tea party palin against the moderate rove. >> symbolizes whatever split there is. i think it's much ado about not much and here is why. these are the kinds of skirmishes that can happen in a party after a disappointing loss in a big election which is what we are looking at here. these two you will notice are not quarreling over ideas. they are -- it's not their positions on the issues vary widely. these are a position about whether karl rove should be applying his strategic knowledge to the campaign or whether that job should fall to somebody else. and in the end it doesn't really matter because the strategy and tactics of the upcoming campaign, which is still years away will be decided upon by the candidate and that candidate's team. so, you know, this is just sort of after action skirmishing i think. it may last a while. >> bill: isn't there a purity issue in the republican party now where sarah palin and some other very committed serves -- conse

panel, sarah palin -- irrelevant or awesome?s, it was one of those before the big game, nfl things where it's like the kansas city chiefs on the cold tundra. >> it's the big comeback video. i think -- the right answer is awesomely irrelevant. >> awesomely irrelevant. one thing i'm wondering in the next presidential cycle, after herman cain and after sarah palin we will view more cynically candidates who seem to be running for president as a way to amp up their speaking fees in the future. >> over the bus. i think herman cain and the whole issue of taking money from his campaign. >> ha do you think his speaking fees are up? >> before he ran for president? >> before he was the head of a pizza chain. >> now he has a nationally syndicated talk show. there's something to be said for the sort of presidential ambition for marketing strategy. you have had people in the past that have used it to relaunch themselves. newt gingrich i don't know if he thought he could be president but he brought himself back on to the national stage. we lau

i think that palin does speak to that.l for me is a very interesting candidate. >> i find him, too. yesterday while delivering the gop autopsy report, rnc chair reince priebus said there will be a $10 million initiative for minority outreach. it seems like sarah palin doesn't think much of that. then there's donald trump who actually does his kind of outreach. let's listen to him. he says let's get more white people in the country. >> it also means ending the poisonous practice of treating americans of different social, ethnic, religious groups as different electorates to be pandered to with different promises. if we truly believe the words of our other founding document, the l declaration of independence, with its world changing assertion that, yes, all men are created equal, then there are no hispanic issues or african-american issues or women's issues. there are only american issues. >> why aren't we letting people in from europe? i have many friends, many, many friends -- and nobody wants to talk this. nobody wants to

. >> miss palin is not interested in any kind of thoughtful analysis. instead, her sole interest is to perpetuate the tired and tawdry brand of her own name. that speech on saturday contained so many ludicrous assertions that we just don't have time for all of them. as you expect, it's her attacks on the president that were most egregious. here's how she started. >> remember no drama obama? if only. now it's all drama obama. we don't have leadership coming out of washington. we have reality television. >> and i guess she should know. having sold her entire family, not for 30 pieces of silver, but for $250,000 per episode on her reality tv series called "sarah palin's alaska." >> we're snagged. i'm thinking we're going to be stuck there. the anchor is dropped. and a bear's coming toward us. i'm looking around to todd going, uh, are you feeling what i'm feeling, todd? >> if hypocrisy were miss palin's only crime, then she wouldn't be out of the ordinary. but on saturday, she went back to the sewer of racist smears as she ranted on about gun control. >> mo

but they've spent almost all of it on sarah palin. they buy lists. they flay her around the country. she does these events. they give something like $70,000 and $5 million to other candidates. she's saying look, i'm not going away, guys. i'm not just an entertainer at this point, i don't have a talk show or book, but i'm going to be in the picture. and she'll have some impact somewhere. >> although in terms of the contribution to the national dialogue, it does seem to be based on highly entertainment value. but the fact that ashley judd is not running, is that goods news or bad news for democrats? >> it depends who you talk to. on the one hand, she would have been a very entertaining candidate. it would have put a spotlight on mitch mcconnell that i think would have been uncomfortable for him a lot of the time. on the other hand she has a lot of baggage. she has the hollywood label. she had a ton of stuff that was coming out prior to her even announcing the opposition. so it's tough to say. i think by and large democrats are going to be grateful that
