but when we traveled to the hillsborough county jail in tampa, florida, we met sergeant sarah herman, seemed to be cast from the same mold. >> you tearing up my property? one-way trip to charlie, dude, and you're never coming out. quiet. stop talking. you don't tell her what to do. close that new york mouth for a minute. jackson, i don't forget something. don't waste my time. how long you been here? okay. don't underestimate miss herman. >> like warden culliver, sergeant herman was known for being both tough, and compassionate. >> have you been drinking any water? come and get a cup and start drinking some water for me, okay? sometimes when you're sick like that and you're not hydrated, it messes with your mind. >> when sergeant herman would walk into a unit, it was almost as if, you know, a sergeant in the army or something was walking into a barracks. people really, they understood that she was coming in, she meant business. >> attitudes in this pod cease from this moment going forward unless you want to be on 72-hour lock, that means no coming or going. visitation, phone calls will

herman cain, newt gingrich, sarah palin -- swooping in whenever she felt like the media spotlight was away from her, they brought, they did nothing to the political discourse. i think they fouled it, herman cain was the front-runner for the republican nomination for a few months there. he couldn't even explain on meet the press. newt gingrich was a front-runner for the republican nomination for a certain point and he ran around the country saying the president of the united states was a food stamp president. these are people who -- should never be considered presidential timber. never have gotten the platform they got. and sarah palin, i've watched this four times, i'm still trying to figure out what's the point? what are you trying to do? >> the point is her celebrity. in a lot of ways, sarah palin is kind of the kim kardashian of politics. she keeps getting on your tv, she keeps getting coverage. listen, you can't knock her hustle. she was a completely unqualified vice presidential nominee, megan and yet it was john mccain who took a hit in terms of his esteem, not her. she's still

sarah palin, alan west. >> the only one missing yet to receive an invite, herman cain. >> it is. that's unfortunate. forward for the republican party. i'm from virginia as you know. bob mcdonnell is no -- he's a conservative guy. i mean, you recall the whole transvaginal ultrasound situation. >> who could forget that? >> right. but he committed a sin against conservatism which was raising taxes for the infrastructure. the state has some of the worst traffic in the country. chris christie km itted the sin of embracing the president and saying nice things about him. apparently this is unforgivable in their world. you have to be happy not to go to this conference which seems like a clown car like the gop primary. >> interestingly the only road accident i've had in this country was in martinsville, virginia. because of the condition of the roads. john, the washington examiner is a cosponsor of next week's cp a rks c. they have a new editorial. it's called cpac embarrasses conservatives with trump invitation. for conservatives reeling from obama's re-election and seeking a serious conversation about the

, or the moment a few years ago when we saw the rise of the tea party and saw the likes of herman cain and sarah tucker: i think it's much easier to raise money than it's ever been for a potential candidate like this. you have the internet. and people can mount challenges to the infrastructure and ross perot did, but they can do it much, much faster. and i think the path is clearer than it's ever been. >> alisyn: and the idea that philosophically people don't like politicians, they don't like capitol hill, they don't like the washington d.c. machinery and structure. so the idea, people like romantically the idea of an outsider and maybe it just might work or when bush comes to shove do you need to work your way up. >> tucker: what is going on now is clearly not working and i was at cpac for two days, you didn't see speaker after speaker stand up and point to the republican congress as a success story. there are a lot of people hungry, so this could be the season. >> clayton: and those whose names go along with a particular budget maybe voting for particular tax increases come election time, you
