robert george is editorial writer for "the new york post" and former aide to newt gingrich, michelle rg, "the nation" magazine, a senior contributor writer and josh. robert, i am, who could have predicted that was sarah palin and ted cruz and mike lee there, things would get political? >> i'm shocked. i'm simply shocked. what i found was most interesting about this entire scenario was ted cruz, who seems to be despised by most of the senate, with the possible exception of mike lee -- well, obviously, with the exception of mike lee -- he's clearly become sort of the leader of the tea party movement. and even though he's only been in office for about nine months, if he really wants to take that leadership and then, you know, use it as a springboard to 2016, he's going to have to be more careful about what kind of groups that he decides to sort of associate with -- >> you think? >> yeah. >> oh, you don't think sharing a microphone with a guy who says that the president needs to put down the koran and come out with his hands up? >> you've got this guy, larry clayman, who's sort of the gho

lap on the reast or final major cracks in the alliance well to discuss that i'm now joined by robert george a former u.s. ambassador to the kingdom and that's there in jordan it's a great honor to have you on. the show thank you very much for having me now i know that you were appointed to the ambassadorship by george w. bush taking up your post almost immediately after september eleventh attacks arguably one of the most critical times in the relationship between the two countries and i remember back down or dinner and their accounts were quite mistrustful of the saudis and probably that mistrust was mutual bad despite dad and dad very critical very difficult time officials rarely allowed this negativity to show in public speeches and policy pronouncements was that just added cat or are you indeed had no major disagreements that could be sort of swept under the rug right after nine eleven we had to reestablish trust between the two countries and their leadership we weren't clear whose side the saudis were on initially and it took a while to work through that i have to give credit to the sau

here to help answer that, we have robert george of the new york post, norm ornsteen and kate nocera andhe designated conservative on the panel, i'm going to start with you. admitting the possibility something changes and ken cuccinelli wins this race, if he doesn't lose, if all these polls we're seeing are right, how is the conservative movement going to interpret what is happening in virginia now? >> they look at the fact you have two very, very deeply flawed candidates on the top of the ticket there, mcauliffe and cuccinelli. mcauliffe for all the reasons you mentioned before. also point out that i think the polls showed it, you got a libertarian candidate that is getting 10% and one would assume that two-thirds or more of that would otherwise be going to -- would otherwise be going to cuccinelli. they would look at that as well. >> this sounds like the we're not going to look in the mirror. >> and also there is also the scandal that has brought in bob mcdonald, the governor there, and that -- the fund-raiser for mcdonald also is connected to cuccinelli, so that also depressed his had

well, here to talk about that, and where else things went wrong for the two of them, we have robert georgehe pac progress texas. still with us, msnbc casey hunt and james, i'll start with you. there are two relationships, two personal alliances that define george w. bush in the public eye, one was karl rove and george w. bush. can you talk about which of those relationships was maybe more significant to his presidency and how specifically that cheney one evolved over the course of the presidency? >> rove is the political guy, the guy that came up with the strategies based upon what he thought would be effective policies. but i think context is important in this whole thing, chris, because bush, the way he governored in texas was with a more of a macro approach to -- he's not a details guy. i think what cheney saw, the reason cheney -- the reason cheney was brought in and asked to find a vice president, and he found himself, cheney saw the opportunity and bush's naivete that bush did not have the insider washington expertise and understanding of policy and cheney saw an opportunity. when ch
