he previously served as an adviser for sarah palin, also a speech writing consulting to president george w. bush, if you were expecting where the new tell-all book was going to come from, this is where you pick, a new citizen united stylebook length attack on hillary clinton. no real surprise that before this book hits the shelves, none other than the fox news channel has an exclusive television deal to report on the explosive contents of the book. tonight the host at fox news who is called bret bahr had a special report. if that's not enough for you, this friday an hour-long special on it, the tangled clinton web. all right. so that's all exactly what you would expect, right? all par for the court, what is not par for the course is surprising along with the fox news channel having some sort of exclusive deal to advance hype this anti-clinton book from this conservative activist who has a history of doing stuff like this, we are also now learning that "new york times" and "the washington post" have also entered into some kind of arrangement with the author with peter schweizer to pursue

steve schmitt, who ran the mccain/palin campaign in 2008, he once famously said on this show that a presidential campaign is basically a full-body scan for everybody who runs at a high level. david axelrod who ran barack obama's campaign against steve schmitt's campaign that year describes it almost exactly the same way. he said that a presidential campaign is an mri for the soul. once you are officially running for president, you may like the political press in this country or hate the political press in this country, but if you are a candidate, you will receive so much scrutiny by the people that are running against you and the press that is covering it all that every single thing that is to be known about you will become known. rand paul right now is not even to like the first x-ray part of this campaign yet. and the press and his rivals for the nomination have only just started to even give him a once over at this point. so it's going to be really interesting to see, how long does he get to deep getting credit for being a brave criminal justice reformer when he walks into the epicenter of a

this is what made someone like sarah palin very popular. she was viewed as the every woman.hink he's trying to capital size on that. i think it's genuine. he's genuinely that kind of guy. if he can put out there he's just like you and people feel that they can relate to him, which they couldn't do with like a mitt romney, i think that's a big win. >> when these politicians say america is their home at their kitchen table trying to figure out budgets, a lot of them are talking. it feels like walker when he says that you do relate to it and all the part with hillary. she hadn't even driven a car since 2010 or something like that. she's been driven around since then >> there is go to that. we saw that with the senior bush when he didn't know how to work the supermarket scanner. >> yeah. >> that really tripped him up and of course her -- you know inaccessibility. i just think her inability to contact with people. when she went to buy a burrito, she seems out of touch. that sincerity of walker versus insincerity and inauthenticity of hillary is big. we love that he wears discount

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: reince priebus criticized joe biden saying that he can't control his mouth. [ laughter ] kind of like someone trying to say the name reince priebus.

shocked at the way this is handled, he is clearly conservative, he's worked for president bush, sarah palin, before this book came out he briefed rand paul and other senators. coordinated rollout strategy. this is very clearly a partisan book that some people are treating like it's not partisan. like it's on a level. there's going to be plenty books that come out. there's plenty of books written by hillary clinton before and more on the line. >> let skme, i want to jump in the only reason first of all, nobody's read it, you can't give it too much credibility because we haven't read it yet but what i was saying last night, the way it becomes significant is, if you sort of take his partisanship out of it facts that show on this date you know, she had a meeting with somebody from columbia on the next day, columbia got something they wanted. and then on the next day, bill clinton got offered $500,000 for a speech you build a circumstantial case, and those are just facts. >> right. actually the columbia example is one of the great examples. columbia's been one of the central focuses of the clint

that was the moment when sarah palin would not name any news sources gazines did you regularly read beforee tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world? >> i read most of them again, with a great appreciation for the press, for the media -- >> but like what comes specifically? i'm curious. >> um all of them. any of them that have been in front of me over all these years. >> can you name a few? >> i have a vast variety of sources where we get our news -- >> that was a frustrating answer for a lot of journalists because, well we like to think of ourselves and our news stories as helping to inform politicians and the people who vote for them. that's part of the whole idea of a democratic society. forget about journalist' feelings for a moment. as voters don't we want our representatives to be exposed to lots of news lots and lots of sources, ones that they agree with ones that they disagree with but especially ones that we disagree with? that's why this latest litmus test is ridiculous. have you noticed our gop talk about the "new york times"? here is a great example. >> isis

we asked about barack obama hillary clinton, mitt romney and sarah palin. and barack obama was the only candidate that inspired any substantial amount of confidence in young people. he is not particularly young. so i think a new model of politician, somebody that's reaching out to young people in particular, can play an important role but i don't think that person necessarily needs to be in their 30s. >> here's the responses that the guest spoke about. barack obama weighing in, and mitt romney and sarah palin also included in this mix from the book "running from office why young americans are turned off to politics." the co-author jennifer lawless is joining us to talk about the issues. donny, democrat line, you're next. >> caller: i have an idea that might help fix all this. i would like to add my 12-year-old boy. what if we took the best and brightest from college and had them serve in the senate and congress we elect the president, but it truly would be service by the people, for the people, and they'd get paid a decent wage while in there like 50 or $60

politician, but really just playing it straight and seeing the natural ways that, you know sarah palin's yeah a little off. kind of like steph fan who has got to be one of my favorites. i'm not sure what that says about the culture except that it's funny. it'll be a big win for you. enjoy it. >> thank you very much. >> you're welcome. that wraps this up, tomorrow at noon eastern, up next, caught on camera, i'm alex witt, have yourselves a great saturday. people ship all kinds of things. but what if that thing is a few hundred thousand doses of flu vaccine. that need to be kept at 41 degrees. while being shipped to a country where it's 90 degrees. in the shade. sound hard? yeah. does that mean people in laos shouldn't get their vaccine? we didn't think so. from figuring it out to getting it done, we're here to help. scott: appears buster's been busy. man: yeah, scott. i was just about to use the uh... scott: that's a bunch of ground-up paper, lad! scotts ez seed uses the finest seed, fertilizer, and natural mulch that holds water so you can grow grass anywhere! looking good, lad! man: tha

. >> so this book, peter, was written by a conservative scholar and former adviser to sarah palin.legations in this book have legs? >> what you heard from hillary clinton there yesterday was interesting. remember carol, she's the one who termed the phrase vast right wing conspiracy. clintons for years and years have worked to fend off attacks from the right and also characterize legitimate criticisms from republicans as fringe attacks. that's what they're going to try to do with this book. however, as you point out, the author of "clinton cash" is a conservative scholar. went to oxford. recently partnered with "60 minutes" on a story about insider trading in congress and partnering with "the new york times" and other organizations with this book, which lends a veneer of credibility to it and even before this book popped yesterday in the news there were already questions about donations to the clinton foundation. "the washington post" did a big story about this in february looking at whether foreign governments including algeria were able to sort of get access to the state departmen

schweizer was a consultant to the bush administration from 2008-2009 and more recently advised sarah palinign policy. some of his previous books include, "do as i say, not as i do: profiles in liberal hypocrisy" and the more succinctly titled, and this real, "makers and takers: why conservatives work harder, feel happier, have closer families, take fewer drugs, give more generously, value honesty more, are less materialistic and envious, whine less, and even hug their children more than liberals." [ laughter and applause ] so, clearly, it's hard to tell if he has any bias. [ laughter ] and as for the accusation that liberals wine, i don't think that's very fair! [ laughter ] some have said his new book only makes loose connections rather than proves anything. up to and including the author himself who said, "short of someone involved coming forward to give sworn testimony, we don't know what might or might not have been said in private conversations. the exact nature of the transaction or why people in power make the decisions they do." that quote is coincidently is also the title of schwe

ted cruz is the abraham lincoln of sarah palin. he's extremely funny. >> right.u think the hot topics will be at this year's dinner? >> i just think 2016 will be the hot topic. if she's is smart about it, she will make fun, like everyone is saying, about the 2016 candidates because i really think there's a lot there, marco rubio reaching over for the little bottle of water and that's classic comedy and unintentionally funny but hopefully she targets the people that maybe deserve it a little more than others. >> right. john, do you think he'll take a shot, that is the president, at ed schultz over the trade agreement? >> no i don't. i think he'll be too busy taking shots at elizabeth warren and all the unions that supported him over the trade agreement but we'll see. you know, i'm still waiting for my nafta prize in the mail so we'll see what tpp can do for you. >> dean, do you think there's topics off limits that they won't approach? >> i mean there's always a discussion about the line in comedy. there really is no line. if you do it with a smile and good nature

bush bobby jindal, sarah palin, and they want to dismiss this in the realm of benghazi conspiracy theoriesives getting excited about it but they don't want it to break into independent voters democratic voters, and have it overshadow what clinton is trying to do on this rollout. >> you refer to the campaign spokesperson and his comments regarding that but when you hear terms like coordinated attack strategy it does ring reminiscent of the right wing conspiracy that she'd referred to many many many years ago. >> that's right, yeah and the clinton white house, hillary clinton said there was a vast right wing conspiracy out to get her husband, and arguably vindicated some points in the way conservative funded media publications would put stuff out there, then enter the kind of bloodstream of the mainstream media and become top level issues the clinton campaign had to respond to. didn't work out very well for the clinton white house, he ended up getting impeached and we're not sure if it's going to work out this time. they do seem to be employing a different strategy instead of going directly

when hillary clinton and when sarah palin -- we saw a -- let me finish.t attack specifically about hillary clinton was unfair. >> the point that she doesn't have a record of accomplishment. when you look at her record as a senator and first lady and secretary of state. let's look as a first lady she pushed for creation of adoption of safe families act. s-chip was going down the list. as secretary of state she sponsored 54 bills including pediatric drug testing and like no child left behind and i'm not even an nclb fan and highly trained teacher recruitment. she was on that bill. when you talk about secretary of state, she helped tighten sanctions on iran and she helped negotiate a cease-fire between israel and hamas. you may disagree with everything hillary clinton has ever done and it's inaccurate to say she hasn't done anything. >> all right, guys we have to get a break in here. guys i'm going to jump in in here and brian stelter will have the first word when we come back when we have the first word of this in just a minute. with the new angie's list ap

the press play fair with republicans, or should we expect a repeat of the treatment given governor palint about the clashes we've already seen. >> you once said iran was not a threat. now you say it is. you once proposed ending foreign aid to israel, you now support it at least for the time being. and you once offered to drastically cut -- wait, wait, once drastically wanted to cut defense spending and now you want to increase it 16%. i just wonder if you've mellowed out. >> why don't we let me explain instead of talking over me. >> sure. >> before we go through a litany of things you say i've changed on why don't you ask me a question, have i changed my opinion? >> have you changed your opinion? >> that would be a better way to approach -- >> no no is iran still a threat. >> no, no you editorialized you say have your views changed instead of e editorializing -- >> in your short time in the senate you've developed a reputation as a guy who does not back down. will you bring that brand of no-compromise to the white house if you're elected? >> let me disagree with the premise. i've never s

bush's tax cuts helped in asia wrong with wmd and long about being liberators and wrong with sarah palinates and obama care costing jobs. if you've been wrong about everything mr. schultz, uncle sean hannity will give you a nice little drop of denial that will tell you you've been right all along and the evil liberal media with all the facts clouding your vision. sean will be go great. you'll never go broke telling people who are wrong they are right. >> one of the reasons people are going to sean hannity is because of the nature of the programming. wrz rush limbaugh's business model is failing because the free market is built on vitriol and lies. sean hannity's program is not as vennous as rush limbaugh's is. he's much more hyper partisan than rush lum begin other conservative talkers who usually have their own self-interest in mind and that tends to align with the republican party. sean hannity is very free you know, to feed republican -- actual republican talking points or turn his show into an infomercial for the rnc. other conservative talkers would never do that. >> in fairness sea
