>> most conservatives are relieved sarah palin's not running.on't think she would have added a lot to the race. i was looking at the poll, when the top republican in the field is only 20%, people are completely undecided, they're not completely satisfied with the choices. i'll make a prediction to you. i still don't think it's too late for someone else to get in this race. >> who? >> maybe jim demint. >> he says no. he says people are asking him all the time but says no. >> maybe mitch daniels will reconsider. i don't think it's too late when you have the top candidate at 20% in mitt romney. >> excellent point. >>> ahead, update on tonight's breaking news. former governor sarah palin saying she will not run in 2012. >>> when a military widow lost a prize memory of her fall will hero she asked friends for her. tonight's number, it will warm your heart. we're america's natural gas and here's what we did today: supported nearly 3 million steady jobs across our country... ... scientists, technicians, engineers, machinists... ... adding nearly 400 bi

so, you know, putting her in the same breath as sarah palin drives me insane. i mean, michelle bachman only had a few years as congresswoman and hillary brought more than. that is a deep seeded antipathy to women leading at the highest level. otherwise, we'd have more women governors. there are only five right now. you know, which is why it is hard to get a woman presidential candidate. sarah palin was one of the few women governors we had and she didn't even finish her term. so you know, you're right. qualifications matter. we had one with terrific qualifications, and it still wasn't enough. >> it wasn't enough that time. i think it is fascinating on the house side, the kind of the new energy among female legislators is on the republican side. there are nine freshmen republican women. what do you see on the house side or even in politics here in washington, what are the struggles that women still face just because they are women? in washington? >> well, i mean, it is still a good old boy's network. you know, that is the reality of it. and i have gotten into ma

sarah palin's position in the polls.ll that sarah palin's name is in has her running as meagan kelly accurately put it way down at the bottom against the existing candidates. sarah palin accused fox news of putting out misinformation. that's her word. misinformation. that would be my word for what fox news puts out every day and every night, but i don't work for fox news. who else in the history of fox news has accused fox news of putting out misinformation while still on the fox news payroll? and how perfect is it that the fox news employee accusing fox news of putting out misinformation was actually putting out misinformation in her accusation? fox news a constant purveyor of misinformation is actually not guilty of putting out misinformation in the one instance that the current fox news employee accuses them of putting out misinformation. how long will the misinformation network allow sarah palin to continue to use misinformation to correctly label that network as the misinformation network? the ice has never been thi

. >> sarah palin said you're the flavor of -- flavor of the month. >> by the way, sarah palin made it official. >> the latest to drop out. >> i apologize to those whom are disappointed. >> in a white house press conference today the president said he has been watching the occupy wall street protests on television and believes this is what occupy wall street is trying to tell him. >> i think it expresses the frustrations that the american people feel that we had the biggest financial crisis since the great depression, huge collateral damage all throughout the country, all across main street, and yet you're still seeing some of the same folks who acted irresponsibly, trying to fight efforts to crack down on abusive practices that got us into this in the first place. >> the newest republican presidential front-runner in the latest economist/ugov poll herman cain said he has taken this message from occupy wall street. >> rather than going to wall street, complaining to people at big banks or big businesses, why not picket the white house? because the policies have failed. and so all it is

it's sarah palin's pac and by pac i mean pack of money. it's her money, she controls it, she already used previous donations for her family vacation necessities like the 14,000 dollar constitution bus art, $10,000 on logistical trip consulting. $7,000 on lodging and $3200 that want to her parents, chuck and sallie heath for purpose of disbursement correspondence and card mailing. now you may say to yourself, wow, that is [bleep] crazy. but those are the rules that are set up. the only way that the little scheme would be dishonorable or shady is if palin had known all along what her decision was yet continued to dangle her indecision as a lure. to unsuspecting donors. how are you going to prove that. you would have to find someone close to the operation but perhaps too naive to realize she has inadvertently spilled the beans on let's say june 28th. >> do you get the sense that your mom has not made up her mind or do you think she knows and hasn't told us. >> you know, she definitely knows. we talked about it before, but some things just nee

sarah palin is not running for president. (laughter) feels like my heart quit halfway through its first term. (laughter) and palin, ever the rogue, did not hold a self-serving press conference like chris christie, no, she bowed out of the race the way our founding fathers intended, by having talk show host mark levin read a press release on his show. >> i've just received a statement from governor palin, this is breaking news. and she writes, after much prayer and serious consideration, i have decided that i will not be seeking the 2012 gop nomination for president of the united states. thank you again for all your support, god bless america, sarah palin. governor sarah palin, how are you, my friend? >> how are you, great one? i'm feeling just fine. (laughter) >> stephen: folks, i am as speechless as sarah palin must have been while she was pretending she wasn't there the whole time. (laughter) and in response i have prepared a statement of my own. jay? jay, come out here and read this. jay, the internal, everybody. (cheers a

they get our puritans and our sailors on leave. >> host: sarah vowell is our guest. her most recent book is "unfamiliar fishes". she has written several other books. the word he should make about the puritans. we will put the numbers on the screen. 737-0001 in the east and central time zone and would like to talk to sarah vowell. 000 2 for those of you in the mountain and pacific time zones. c-span.org -- booktv@c-span.org is our e-mail address and twitter.com/booktv is our twitter handle. would you call yourself a historian? >> guest: no. i am a writer who writes about history. i like to tell stories about history but these are narrative's. they are non-fiction so they are factual or i hope they are but my goals are to have personal interaction with historic sites. i do a lot of reporting. i am a kind of journalist so a lot of what i do is hanging out talking to locals. my book tells the history of americans in the horn islands but i will do things like rent an apartment in a building where jack lord stand in the opening credits of hawaii 5-0 and talk about that and

sarah vowell is our guest. this is about the history of hawaii. how did you get interested in the history of hawaii? >> guest: it is about the history of america's relationship to hawaii. first, i went there i went to see pearl harbor. just as a tourist. i wanted to see that. while i was there i went to see the old palace of the hawaiian monarchy and realize those two sites are related because the japanese never would have attacked honolulu harbor for being part of the united states if the united states and descendants of american missionaries had not overthrow the hawaiian queen who handed over the island to the u.s.. that was the start of my interest in the relationship between the two countries. >> host: when did the missionaries first go to hawaii? >> guest: they left boston harbor, new england calvinist left boston harbor in 1819 and arrived in hawaii in 1820. the first new england whalers from boston harbor arrived because hawaii was a great stopping of point between whaling grounds. these groups arrived within six months of each other and t

sarah palin is not running for president.quit halfway through its first term. [ laughter ] >> are you telling me that driving around the country in a bus with a giant picture of her face next to the constitution was nothing but a publicity stunt because i find that difficult to believe. palin said she won't be campaigning or presidenting. but she will continue with her speechmaking and tv commentating. i guess we'll never get to see a snowmobile one. a shame. >> we spent time analyzing over the past few months that sarah palin has been traveling around the country in a constitution-wrapped bus, frequently primary states. which suggested two distinct possibilities. you are either running for president of the united states. or you are a crazy person. [ laughter ] last night, sarah palin went on fox news, bravely supporting the lapel pin that could have easily carried her weight, to get the answer. >> no, i'm not running. >> so, i'm ready to call it with 100% of sarah palin's reporting. the winner is, crazy person. >> sarah pali

sarah palin news, and christy turlington. >> that's right. we've got all of the ladies on the show tonight. sarah palin story. also on the front lines in pakistan, i'll gowin side a women's jail tonight. our guest, supermodel christy turlington shines a light on a disturbing statistic. >>> newark magazine calls us out, seriously. and the bottom line on sarah palin. breaking news, she is not running for president. let's go "out front." >> breaking news, sarah palin choosing not to run for the republican presidential nomination. she went on the mark levin radio show, made it clear she's not running and also released a letter to her supporters. she said, she can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office. well, why now? scott conroy of role clear politics and co-author of "sarah from alaska"s has spoken to the palins since the decision. you've been rushing to get on the phone with us. so what can you tell us? >> erin, great to be here. i spoke to some members of palin's inner circle tonight and two po

sarah silverman.being here. nice to have you here. >> thanks for having me. i'm so excited to be on here. my mother almost died when she was -- she left a message on my machine saying she was on all fours scrubbing the bathroom floor when she heard rachel say i was going to be on tomorrow. she's very excited. hi, home. >> hi, mom. hello, mrs. silverman. >> o'hara. but that's okay. >> sorry. that's awkward. >> i know. >> speaking of awkward, i'm not actually sure how to ask you a question about the title of your show. so asking about the subtitle, stripping the paint off of good old-fashioned racism. is the idea here the rick perry camp name controversy should not be over. >> yeah. i think that any time -- i think that any time racism shows itself in a tangible way, it's not just a gas in the air, it's important to take the opportunity to point at it. you know? i think it's dangerous when it just kind of goes away and, you know, here's a guy who is a governor and running for president and it has not in

sarah palin is a cultural phenomenon. there is no question about it. but she has been giving us hints over the past couple of weeks that she is not ready for the presidency, saying, "i think it is better for me to be on the outside. i can effect change on the outside. i do not need a title." i think she has been giving hands for a number of weeks. -- hits for a number of weeks. >> do you think it was a tax on her personal life, or the polls? >> i do not think either. i think she had a conversation with her family. whether she wanted to go through the rigors of a national campaign -- 3.5 years ago, she was on a national ticket. we saw her up close. she has set herself that she does not necessarily follow a script. i do not think she thought she could follow the national script for so long and the on message. that is not her personality. >> many republicans will welcome this. >> if i am mitt romney, i am jumping for joy. even if i am rick perry, i am jumping for joy. rick perry is a tea party conservative. sarah palin could have taken some money and vote

tonight sarah palin says she has made up her mind. she told a radio interviewer that she will not enter the race for the republican nomination for president. political correspondent jan crawford is in washington with more. >> reporter: well, scott, after months and months of teasing people with would she run or would she not run, sarah palin has just released a statement. let me read it for it. after much prayer and serious consideration i have decided i will not be seeking the 2012 g.o.p. nomination. she goes onto say as always my family comes first, she gave it a great deal of thought, and then she says in the statement that she believes she could, quote, be more

but sarah palin is tough as nails. she's a smart cookie i can't wait to see what her next chapter is going to be. she did say in her statement she's going to commit herself to defeating barack obama next year, and to getting republican control of the senate and maintaining the house. and she's going to have an unbelievable influence in rallying the conservative base, rallying the tea party, keeping the momentum going which is essential for next year. >> we did lose an incredible, bright human being. steve jobs passed away. i kind of sensed when he stepped down works all his health problems, i kind of sensed something wasn't right. >> you don't step down from something that you love and that's in your bones and blood and sweat and tears unless you are really ill. >> do you have an ipad. >> we have one, yes. >> ipad, i-phone. >> i love them. >> and my husband has more of these things. but i do play on them and such. they are great stuff. my kids have the touch, the ipod touch. we have them all. >> back to the presidentia

is reporting that say what sarah palin is officially now running for president as i mentioned just a minute so the question what's she going to do with one point six million. dollars and she raised for sarah palin super pac but she can spend anyway she wants just never use it to run for political office will she a trade in her trade tour bus for a one point six million dollar yacht take the sarah sarah palin frenzy global tour global because it started where i walk i'm here to be will she buy power but ocular so that all seven thousand residents of was so you know two thousand of her america was keep an eye on russia or see will she hire a team of high priced lawyers to sue roger ailes for. her sexual harassment two words awesome party simply was that. i think she's going to use the money to start a hot hot hot sarah palin bus tour and so become that and put roger ailes seem real and. yeah i think yes that's what you take you. are and i and i'm you know i think it's probably one point six million dollars divided into you know how much is it for a b. in the spot maybe two hundred thre

>> reporter: just a few minutes ago, i god an e-mail from sarah's husband, todd, with a note from sarahalinin ingpali she will not be seeking the republican come nation for president. she says, as always, my family comes first and obviously todd and i put great consideration into family life before making this decision. so, diane, that means that the republican field appears settled and mitt romney will try to take advantage of this, but he better watch out there's an insurgent candidate nipping at his heels, a businessman who has never before held elected office. businessman herman cain swooped into florida today where he insisted he's no flash in the pan. >> unlike some of the other flavors of the week, i am haagen-dazs' black walnut with substance. >> reporter: cain's shoot from the hip style has made him a darling with conservatives looking for an ideological and combative soul mate. today, he hawked his new book "this is herman cain." >> he actually brings the ideas. >> reporter: raised in georgia to humble beginnings, cain became a businessman after the navy, serving as president

and sarah palin keeps it interesting. so we're disappointed. >> you get points for candor.e apparently loves to needle the press. it is columnists and pundits and talk show host who kept her in the headlines until now. >> i disagree that it was reporter driven. i was one of those following her for weeks in iowa. she had a big bus tour, making speeches, premiering a documentary. she gave a major speech in september. >> but who cares if she's not running? then she doesn't get the press -- >> unlike chris christie whoa had many on-the-record denials, palin never did. we're following a former v.p. contender, going around making speeches, going to eat fried butter at the state fair. this seemed pretty presidential to me. >> lots of people eat fried butter. let me get to nia -- i remember when mitt romney announced his candidacy in new hampshire. she went on the bus tour -- all the reporter there rushed to her. she was on the front page. how can it not be reporter driven? it was urltly media driven. >> it was media driven, but i sort of agree with robert in the sense that she was

sarah palin got her on movie.d then went on the road allowing speculation to build that she might run until last night. still was anybody really surprised that she didn't run? the answer just a little bit. die hards in places like iowa for example held out for months supporting anyone else hoping palin might just get in the race. now, they're looking for somewhere else to go. >> you may see them go to rick perry, herman cain. it's really hard to tell. i don't think they'll go in one block as it were. i think you'll see people choose different candidates over time. >> tea partiers and social conservatives said the guy with most the lose the mitt romney because he looked stronger with social conservatives vying for the same group of votes. the other question still on the table is about who palin might endorse. in the last midterm elections, her endorsement meant a lot. think of nikki hailey, elected governor in south carolina. ford o'connell thinks palin's blessing could be a big help for any of the republicans in t

sarah palin understands one thing.ction stood her expiration date as far as becoming a real player had passed, and thus i think the announcement today. >> do you think there are others that are dropping out that's already in? >> i think everybody's eyes are on michele bachmann. she seems to have stumbled in the past few weeks. herman quan has sort of taken the position as sort of the straight-talking come from behind candidate. so i think it's probably a matter of time before she's out. >> as i said breaking news, sarah palin has announced she's not running. i'm tempted to say sarah, we hardly knew you b. but the reality is she's not running because, sarah, we got to know you too well. alex, thanks. >>> well be right back with sherrod brown, on the fight for jobs in this country.
