he voted for tarp, bank bailouts and the list goes on and on. >> paul: he is not alone. >> no. >> paul did not vote for obamacare. he did not support cap and trade. he generally is a conservative guy. is it really a function of age and energy or he works too closely with people across the aisle? >> i think he gets bipartisan, president obama priority. >> paul: particularly on foreign policy? >> exactly. >> paul: how is luger fighting back? >> he is saying that all these outside groups, outside groups are not part of indiana. nra and freedom work. >> paul: does he have issues against mordock? >> he is pounding him on the substantive issues but it's the outside groups. >> paul: now governor mitch daniels very popular governor, two terms in indiana he is backing luger? >> mr. daniels worked in dick luger's office for a number of years. but mr. daniels also feels that can reach across the aisle. >> paul: so what does this tell us about the culture of modern republican party. the condition of the party, the debate inside the party? >> well, it's the famous battle between the insurgents and

>> none. >> paul: none?> if he had wrapped up earlier, it would have been a barrage of ads attacking him for the crime of committing capitalism. >> paul: you don't think those are still coming? >> i'm saying i don't think he would enjoying three months of honeymoon and a pass from the media if he had wrapped it up early. and strong primary challenge, what has it done for him? he has pushed a pro-growth tax plan and entitlement reform. he is getting better and better. if the fight continues in the summer, who knows maybe he'll be for a flat tax. >> paul: i think that is optimistic. but running as a butograph cal candidate, james has a good point he has been forced by this process to run as an agent of change. >> exactly by this process by rick santorum and newt gingrich. he was running as the casper the friendly ghost candidate. >> he had a 59-point economic plan. dorothy remembers every one of them. >> but the variability in romney's political persona and that has become substantive an clear. and he now has

if it's not paul ryan, it has to be something like paul ryan. >> rachel maddow made the point that ryane a really boring speaker. does he have the capacity with rhetoric to light up a room? >> no. he's not a particularly exciting speaker. you saw that when he did the response to the president's state of the union last year. one thing about paul ryan that people should understand, he is a very charming man. he is very, very good in tv interviews, and he can handle himself. he can take the hits, and so in many ways they will look at him as an appealing candidate. he's not the guy that wows the convention with a great stump speech. >> john nicholls and steve, thank you for joining me tonight. >> sure. >> coming up, mitt romney has decided to attack president obama on religion. now mitt romney is saying the president is a secret atheist. that's next in the rewrite. as the fbi continues to investigate the killing of trayvon martin, george zimmerman has added a second lawyer to what is now his defense team. we have video of that lawyer appearing on a florida television station tonight. he wil

what ron paul believes and the republican party with every one of these ron paul people who enters withhis positions of authority by definition the republican party becomes more like ron paul and that's going to be great for america in the future i think and one of the thing that ron paul supporters always say and point out is how consistent he's been over the years longer than i've been alive that he's been in politics and really just saying the same things when you talk about other republicans other conservatives adopting some of his ideologies it's already started to happen in some aspects we see things criticism of the fed criticism of a large government some even talk about bringing back the gold standard but one of the biggest problems and i'm not talking about legalizing marijuana or anything like that what one of the biggest problems is that most conservatives tend to be very pro-military and pro-war you have a lot of them are in bed with the defense contractors how does you know how do people who want to adopt more of his ideologies that seems to be one that's just not going to

about the growth of the paul revere academic. i am particularly more on academically because i always check the grade schools of the paul revere. their target is more than that. i am congratulating ms. salmon for giving a lot of inspiration to our students so please keep our principal and i would like to say this is funny. even one child, i observe and i enter the school, she's just a kindergarten, she was crying and she said that oh, mommy i'm late. you see the difference from before, that the children doesn't care about punctuality but now even this little child, she knows they're responsible for coming early at school. thank you. that's all. >> my, my name is molly, i'm a third grade teacher at paul revere. i've been there for five years. thank you for your attention and consideration. for the first two years at paul revere, i tried my best. i was left alone. i didn't get a lot of direction, a lot of feedback, a lot of observation and when sheila came in, the change was immediate. i was observed and given feedback on a regular

the other is paul ryan. watching ryan introduce romney tonight and seeing how base republicans reacted to president obama targeting paul ryan today in that speech, i think there's going to be a lot of pressure on mitt romney to pick paul ryan and while that might leave some democrats giddy about it, i thch think that makes the base as giddy for the party. could be a fascinating ticket preview we got tonight. >> the romney/ryan ticket taking shape. hang in there with us. joining us is rachel maddow, host of rachel maddow and steve schmidt, msnbc political analyst and adviser to the 2008 mccain campaign. rachel, these republicans talk through your show. rick santorum seizes par of the your show then romney seizes part of your show. do you have expresed thoughts on tonight's proceedings your audience would have heard if mitt romney didn't grab your microphone? >> thank you, you are very kind. the romney/ryan prospect that chuck was just raising there is interesting. i mean, the democratic and particularly the l

from what i've seen at least that ron paul has. great idea a very well educated man who speaks very frankly about things even if they're not nice to hear and that we definitely my generation or people my age appreciate that type of honesty so that's what initially attracted to him and then once we see him . i guess the platform all around see how consistent he is and how fair he is to everybody not just to favor one over the other or to gain any sort of advantage over anybody it's just this is the way the constitution was right in this is what we should follow and i think that is something that is rare and something we definitely are trying to want to talk about something interesting that happened recently in alaska the new heads of the stage russ millet ron paul supporter as is co-chair debbie holland brown ron paul supporter this is pretty unprecedented i haven't seen this in any other states that the head of the state party is a ron paul supporter what do you think this says in terms of a move or a shift in you know what i've be

who is the eventually victor in november they ron paul and the ron paul ron paul's ideas pre-stage a tremendous future for america and for ron if they are adopted as i believe they are being adopted as you mentioned you know young people and one of our reporters went down to ron paul event over in maryland just a few days ago and he's been described as somewhat of a rock star so a lot of energy surrounding ron paul so do you think that this is kind of a preview of what's to come in terms of the a political shift that the young people and these are your generations are going to be what our political ideology is going to be like this is the future and it's not only in the united states ron paul his followers. all over the world in brazil and turkey in western europe in japan in china i mean all i'm sure and russia too all over the world young people are looking to ron paul to see him as something so different from the regular politician and is offering solutions to the horrible problems we face that we don't need to go down an economic course and we don't have to have a police state we

delegates and ron paul has nine well i sure spoke a short time ago with ron paul supporter isabel gonzales president of youth for ron paul at the university of texas at el paso i asked her first what she thought about these numbers. well i believe that there is no way to actually tell how many delegates mitt romney have versus ron paul because santorum just got out or spending a campaign a few weeks ago and gingrich has just done the same so a lot of these delegates depending on whether they're from boundary and down states they get to choose if they're from one down state and a lot of those from what i can tell have been going to ron paul so it's a matter of. if. not really but it's definitely something that looks good for ron paul at this point so you think despite the very large number of overall delicates delegates received up to this point that there still is a chance that there still is a chance that these numbers will tell a much different story in a couple weeks. well it could very well be that i mean. i believe the numbers that they've been showing on c.n.n. are like eight hundred

she was paul jennings' great granddaughter. he was born in 1799 and she just that few generations later was still going strong at age 93, sharp as a tack and very devoted to family history. and she both informed my story and enriched my life, as did many of the other jennings descendants. here is an image of montpelier pittsburgh paul's day and one of the early presidents square. you see our location, st. john's church. and you see the dolly madison house. one reason i wanted to show you these two images is because they were both water colors made by madame denuville. henry clay, martin van puren were some of the notables before john gatsby purchased it. these were some of the many people, many notable people, parsonages, if you will, personages, whom jennings got to know. and if even a slave, it helps to know people in high places. he was well connected. he was what we call a networker. and he took appropriate advantage of these connections in his pursuit of the right to rise. and here's a photo of dolly madison's house. you s

paul gillespie. we support you for your idea. and mr. lieutenant governor, it is great to see you back here in san francisco. thank you for working with my board colleagues and planting a goal that none of us, frankly, thought would be achieved. and i want to thank all of you from the taxicab industry. what was accomplished from this ordinance should be the model of how we promote future for rums, when we talk about the taxi world here. we had a hearing at the border supervisors about future reforms. we know there are many things we need to fix in the taxicab world. i hope it is through a model of ideas from taxicab drivers, from the industry working with city officials, to make sure that we are leading the way when it comes to taxis. thank you so much for being here. [applause] >> our next speaker is the person everyone has been referencing, a former taxi cab driver, also the president of the taxicab commission. mr. paul gillespie.

apparently a lot to tell you why supporters at this notoriously liberal university are rallying for ron paul. and you've heard us talk a lot about cyber security here at r.t. or rather than american government insecurities when it comes to computer hacking so is the u.s. getting caught up in the web it is a start is it time to start patrolling internet borders or explore. is elected santorum has vowed to prosecute our industry infrequently and forced obscenity laws but it's porn stars and americans we can't let that happen. it's like rick santorum has more to worry about than mitt romney if you don't bill ministry is not too excited about the republican presidential candidate these days wait until you find out what they're asking americans to do in protests. a good evening it is friday april sixth seven pm in washington d.c. i'm christine for watching our team. oh thought up start off this hour with a look at the g.o.p. primary it's been a fun week we've had primaries in wisconsin maryland and here in d.c. on tuesday and mitt romney won all three but despite all the talk of the presumed nomi

with ron paul voters, it's almost 2-1 this. ron paul voters, 63% of them saying they will be dissatisfied if mitt romney gets this nomination. you know, mitt romney may very well win this nomination. it looks like he will win this nomination. but how is mitt romney going to get all of those dissatisfied republicans to turn out and vote for him? remember, this is an exit poll.. this is talking to people who have gone out and made the trek, right, who have shown the effort to go out and vote in what is a sort of nonconsequential almost foretold primary today in wisconsin. people who are interested enough in politics, interested enough in republican politics that they went out and pulled the lever today. and those people are going out and pulling that lever even though they would not be happy with the idea of mitt romney as the nominee. when mitt romney gets this nomination, what case can he make to those voters? that he hasn't already been able to make to them? what can he tell them that has not persuaded them already? or does he

i grew up knowing paul jennings' grandson. his grandson was my great-uncle hugh. >> and paul jennings, uncle hugh's parents were franklin and mary jennings. they lived at 2121 k street northwest. beth showed you a picture actually of franklin standing in front of their home. that home was there until about the late -- and i visited that home many times because my great-great-grandmother mary lived to be almost 100. she was 99. she kept the house wonderful with all kinds of artifacts including that portrait of paul jennings that you saw that hung in her house with many antiques, with swords from the spanish-american war, et cetera. so i did grow up actually seeing that and knowing about some of my history. and ironically, this area has been involved with my family for a long time because my mother actually taught at stevens elementary school, which was at 21st and l, and my brother and sister attended stevens in the elementary years. i wound up at 24th and k at emaculate conception high school. and i would get to walk past my g

feel free. >> watching paul in the work release center was a little sad. he seemed like a fish out of water, and i could tell at that point he started to get nervous. you know, he had lived for 26 years in prison. he knew what to do there, and suddenly he looked like he was at a loss. >> am i anxious? yeah. is there knots in my stomach? yeah. i'm ready though. i have done everything i can over the last 26 years to be ready and now it's time for me to make the next step. >> the next time we checked in with paul, he'd been on work release for just over a month and had been allowed to leave the facility for limited periods of time. >> sergeant fitzpatrick on the evening had to make a few stops, and he kind of drove me around town. we stopped at a circuit city, so i got to check out a lot of the technological innovations over the past quarter century plus that i had no idea of, and i gravitated toward the huge tv with the surround sound, the real plush leather seats, and i'm like, yeah, i can get used to this. >> but paul would find challenges in even the most

, and paul ryan live, coming up later in the show. please stay with us. he'll respond to all of these charges. social darwinism. i'm not even sure what that means. we'll break it down for you. americans are always ready to work hard for a better future. since ameriprise financial was founded back in 1894, they've been committed to putting clients first. helping generations through tough times. good times. never taking a bailout. there when you need them. helping millions of americans over the centuries. the strength of a global financial leader. the heart of a one-to-one relationship. together for your future. ♪ so why exactly should that be of any interest to you? well, in that time there've been some good days. and some difficult ones. but, through it all, we've persevered, supporting some of the biggest ideas in modern history. like the transatlantic cable that connected continents. and the panama canal that made our world a smaller place. we supported the marshall plan that helped europe regain its strength. and pioneered the atm,

to cast the ballots i mean i don't think that that's what ron paul wants. there are a lot around possibilities that will vote i will vote the thing is that we haven't seen the delegate count yet and that's what really matters too when you have to have the most delegates at this point i don't think mitt romney has the man delegates necessary to win the nomination so ron paul could still win in a brokered convention yes certainly a lot of those states the primary elections already their ballots count their delegate count rather has not been official yet so that might start to change in the coming weeks. now this is interesting quite a few people including peter till himself have said this isn't just about the twenty tough election it's also about setting an agenda for the future for twenty sixteen and i want to play a little bit of an interview i had with a young man that i met at university of maryland a similar message it may not be about this election it may not be about the next one but in candy twenty years from now when you know we're the core voting gr

with ron paul voters, it's almost 2-1 this. ron paul voters, 63% of them saying they will be dissatisfied if mitt romney gets this nomination. you know, mitt romney may very well win this nomination. it looks like he will win this nomination. but how is mitt romney going to get all of those dissatisfied republicans to turn out and vote for him? remember, this is an exit poll. this isn't just a poll. this is talking to people who have gone out and made the trek, right, who have shown the effort to go out and vote in what is a sort of nonconsequential almost foretold primary today in wisconsin. people who are interested enough in politics, interested enough in republican politics that they went out and pulled the lever today. and those people are going out and pulling that lever even though they would not be happy with the idea of mitt romney as the nominee. when mitt romney gets this nomination, what case can he make to those voters? that he hasn't already been

i respect paul ryan. he is a very smart guy. the end of the day i am not sure that paul ryan and the ryan budget, and we have two years of ryan budgets and it is the same thing over and over again is a very smart thing. what will come out of the obama machine and the defensiveness that will come out of the romney camp about old people and poor people, et cetera, it is going to get to an elevated point where it will scare people. it is going to scare soccer moms. who do they care about? their kids and image aing parents. that's not helpful under a ryan budget. you can put him on the vp ticket. it is perfectly fine. he is young, dynamic. >> you don't believe he has the ability to appeal -- >> no, i don't. >> independents who may not quote, unquote soccer mom of the day. >> i think he is a handsome man. i am not sure his policies -- >> you boil him down to the way looks. >> no, no, no, i would never boil that down. i am just saying. he is an approachable guy. he is a nice guy. >> midwest. >> absolutely. i look at someone more like

>> i think they did it for political reasons, paul. this is about the hispanic vote, showing that they care, the justice department did not need to bring this case. other groups, civil rights groups and so forth were suing and could have let the cases run their course. the obama administration jumped in here, it doesn't look like it's close. looks like parts of the law will be upheld, but the justice like sonya sotomayor is skeptical and-- >> what about the case that it's racial profiling, not argued in the course, even the government isn't making that case, but a lot of outside groups have been saying that that's what this is and therefore, that's a violation of the law. is that even at issue here? >> well, i believe that the law, specifically, bans that practice and chief justice made that clear during the oral arguments. there's no racial pro filings, you're not alleging that, right. >> no, we're the not. >> dan, explain the politics, if you lose 8-0 at the supreme court, that doesn't strike me as good politics. >> i think that the

welcome to the journal editorial report, i'm paul gigot. the the supreme court waded into another controversial election year issue this week hearing oral arguments on arizona immigration law. the obama justice department sued arizona over that 2010 law, arguing that governor jan brewer violated the constitution's supremacy law, and enforcing federal immigration statutes, are the justice's buying the administration's argument. joining us, wall street editor, paul henninger, and jason riley and joe rago. this is a case about federal versus state power and the supreme court this week, both liberal and conservative justices did not seem very sympathetic to the federal government's argument. >> no, they didn't because arizona very carefully crafted the state law to fit into the federal law. so, really, all they're doing is saying, look, if the police happen to pick up somebody, maybe they need to verify their legal status, that's part of federal immigration law. so-- >> the state is saying, we're just going to enforce the law and supplement wha

i think that this is true of jean paul gaultier's work. i know that have been friends for a very long time. it is my honor to introduce both suzy menkes, fashion editor of the international herald tribune, and mr. jean paul gaultier. [applause] >> the love seat. [laughter] i just want to know, can you hear me? please shout loudly if you cannot. [laughter] yes or no, you can hear? >> somebody said no. >> mic people, can i be heard? should i start? ok, good. so before i introduced one of the funniest, wittiest, most amusing and funkiest designers that i know, i would like to start with something a little bit more serious. you know, in fashion, the reason that people laughed seem obvious when you see the exhibition of all it's incredible glory and excitement. but at the same time, there were real reasons why designers laughed, and one of them, when it comes to jean paul gaultier, is probably what is talked about least. it is the technique, the skill, the handwork, the knowledge. sometimes it gets buried underneath the fantasies of the close.

there i think could be a ron paul movement that extends well beyond ron paul's candidacy. >> ron pauls the only candidate who is a movement candidate in this campaign and he appeals to younger voters in a strong way. s in a problem that the romney campaign wants to address, something they're going to have to address in the fall. i agree with chris. with all due respect to jesse, i don't think that ron paul is going to remain a factor in terms of delegates. i think this race is going to continue to be sort of close to over. i don't think the santorum vote is going to move to ron paul but i do think paul has enough supporters he will continue to be something of a force and someone they have to deal with. >> it's the damage he can doing ultimately through a kind of bully pulpit that probably has the republicans nervous because i think the more he stays on that libertarian edge and he's able to attract some independents, they like some of the stuff he says, oh, yeah, in terms of foreign policy. that sounds good but then it sounds like it's teetering toward with all due respect to empty be

now it turns out that ron paul won. ron paul won iowa. that's next. >>> at this time tomorrow we will be getting in results from the very, very anti-climatic races. there's no one in the seat breathlessly awaiting the results of those primaries because the republican nomination appears to be all but sewn up. there continues to be off script moments on the republican side. things that run counter to the prevailing sense that the republican primary is stick a fork in it, done. newt gingrich kicking off a campaign swing. north carolina is not on the list of states that will be voting tomorrow. north carolina doesn't hold its primary until may 8th. newt gingrich is trying to win that one. the candidate ron paul drew a huge crowd despite driving rain. it has over 4,000 people over. can the main idea it's done. it's over. there are things going on in the republican side that make it seem like it's in the done, at least not totally done. perhaps the most thing is that i think ron paul just won iowa. seriously, this weekend. you'll recall that th

and where exactly is paul ryan getting his radical ideology say to. just put a picture of me when i was like nine years old so to live through. an excess and i am and will get a sense that i love rap and hip hop music and pretty. she was kind of a yesterday. i'm very proud of the all the belgian cd it's played. look look look . you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so sleep you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture . as a president said today about the republican budget plan proposed by multimillionaire congressman paul ryan from wisconsin take a look. it is a trojan horse disguised as deficit reduction plans is really an attempt to impose a radical vision on our country it is thinly veiled social garm darwinism. question is where does this radical vision come from whose ideology is it that's motivating people like paul ryan in the rest of the republican party to push for proposa

making libertarianism cool as only are wrong paul supporter can add if the next stage of ron paul rival lucia and this one takes you through fifty states and thirteen branches of the federal reserve so that you too can help ron paul with his end game. it's friday april thirteenth five pm here in washington d.c. i'm liz wahl and you're watching our team. well it's no question that the world is changing socially politically and economically and with the u.s. and the u.s. economy is not as robust as they once were and emerging economies such as brazil russia india and china rapidly growing geopolitics will likely look much less different than it does today but what exactly will that new world look like many predict that will be a world where the west no longer dominates by one author takes it a step further with this focus on a future of diversity rather than dominance and earlier i was actually joined by that author charles kupchak wrote this book no one's world and he told me about this coming global turn and gave me his predictions for the direction the world is headed take a listen. so
