scott brown has received a little under $2 million. $1.9 million. e you've received about $440,000. now, senator brown's pacs have raised four and a half times what you have. but then let's take a look at this. if you look at the pacs, 4.5 times more than you. but then let's look at contributions under $200. in that area, scott brown has received $13.9 million from individuals. you've received more than $23.8 million. and 56% of your individual donations have come from households that haveiven less than $250. lot of this is coming from states other than massachusetts. why is this race energizing people in other states to send money to you? and why are you far outdistancing him with small contributions? >> well, i think it's because of this question of whose side you stand on. and people get this. you know, there are lots of folks who are willing to go to washington including scott brown to stand up for the special interest, to stand up for those who've already made it. for me, i'm not a lifetime politician. as you know, reverend al, i came to this be

>> no, scott brown, no. you did not see a picture of dead bin laden.internet everyone saw, only you thought it was real, and you told everybody it was real so you would seem important, a big important senator that gets shown big important things regular people don't get to see. his staff later had to clarify that one as well. now he's got a new one. >> i can name a litany of democratic sponsored bills that never would have passed if it wasn't for me. the president had called me and the vice president calls me and secretary clinton calls asking for my vote all the time. >> my phone will just not stop ringing. the president, and vice president and hillary is calling and calling and calling. the inevitable clarification coming by way of the boston globe today, quoting the globe ? reality, senator brown's staff said he has spoken by phone with hillary clinton just twice in his whole senate career. most recently over a year ago on july 5th, 2011. the other call occurred in december of 2011. >> senator clinton calls asking for my vote all the time. >> by all

won the election, it doesn't matter to me if you were for scott brown or not. people said how could a republican win in democratic massachusetts? well i thought at harvard, i lived up there. it's not a democratic state. there are more unenrolled voters in massachusetts than there are democrats or republicans. so you have two things happening simultaneously. inside of the beltway, in washington, and in state capitals you have more and more partnerships. you have more and more decisions based on what's going to help our party win in november, but the country is going in the exact opposite direction. the country is fleeing from this system in which we can't come together as a common people to solve our common problems. there are more -- i'll mention a couple of the additional examples of this, but the real bottom line, this is where jackie and i are in complete agreement, it is systemic. it is not about who we elect. we do this every election. we elect people and it doesn't work, so we throw them out and we elect the other people and it doesn't work and we throw t

heather, is that a big endorsement for scott brown, mayor mike? >> sure it is.f cash. he's holding a fund-raiser for him. mike bloomberg has wealthy friends. the subtext here obviously is the wall street issue because that is the big thing for bloomberg, for i'm sure many other people who will be at this fund-raiser, maybe a little less than concealed weapons. >> what's funny, though, scott brown, he's not mr. anti-nra. he's voted with the nra on some things in the past. it's not that he is the republican anti-gun guy. this is michael bloomberg saying to elizabeth warren screw you, i'm going -- you were too critical of wall street, you don't know what you're talking about. >> i think it could be that. i don't know if it's half of that or 75% of that but we can't downplay the importance of what scott brown did on that gun issue because mayor bloomberg is the co-chair of mayors against illegal guns. this is an issue that's very important to the mayor. so much so that he went out publicly within days of aurora, the aurora tragedy, slamming the heck out of the presi

it deals with a worker, and there is another ad of scott brown which is devastating. in some ways this issue is was written in the "wall street journal" we have an election of the government versus the private sector. the president stumbled so the white house is trying to walk it back. they tried to put everything around it because it was a devastating blunder if you look --. >>eric: president obama is a smart guy, constitutional scholar, harvard, and just a smart guy spending a lot of time walking back some of the things he said. >>pat: usually it was on a teleprompter. candidates are dangerous with teleprompters, even the president. but he does this because it is inextinct. it wasn't just the words. it was the body language. it was -- everyone says it was out of contempt. that is b.s., the context is what he said. you didn't build this. >> we have hashed that out. scott brown has a good ad out if we can watch that. >> government understands that jobs must come from growth and a vibrant system of free enterprise. >> i'm so proud of our system of government, our free

as for scott brown, we haven't gotten those numbers yet.paign says they're not releasing them. but in the first quarter he did pretty well $3.5 million. >> yeah. they're both spending a lot of money. here's a question. you were just in massachusetts. this is incredibly tight, the senate race. but on the presidential level, the president -- president obama is beating mitt romney, former governor of massachusetts decisively. why is that? >> you know, first of all, i think the short answer is by and large, massachusetts, this is not a news flash, people, it's a blue state. especially so on a presidential level. it's voted democratic on a presidential level for years and years and years. when it comes to the senate and it comes to other, you know, statewide races, massachusetts voters tend to be a little bit more independent. you think of massachusetts as a liberal state and it is that on the presidential level, but in the senate level you saw with scott brown, not necessarily so. what i'm looking for and what other people are looking for, scot

massachusetts against scott brown. was also tapped to head up the banking reform rules by president obama and came under a lot of criticism. though she is popular in some circles. i do think, bob, in some ways this shows that the democrats are not as worried about the center as we might have said the other day, because she sends a very strong pro-left economic signal. >> bob: well, you can argue that. but i think that what the democrats are not backing off of is this make believe comment about you didn'te didn'd that. taking heat and it's hurting us, which is why that obama is responding it to. elizabeth warren said if you got rich you didn't get there on your own is exactly right. >> greg: that is what obama ripped off. >> dana: her quote considered the intellectual father of obama speech that became -- let's take a listen to it now. >> there is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. nobody. you build a factory out there, good for you. but i want to be clear. you moved your goods to market on the roads the re

hyannis, cape cod with senator scott brown.ezy, every man persona that got the massachusetts republican elected in an upset two years ago still on display. >> thank you. >> absolutely. thank you. >> keep your eyes on the road will you? >> reporter: brown is keenl aware that recapturing the senate seat held by democrat ted kennedy for nearly half a century means distancing himself from fellow republicans whenever possible. most republicans boast about blocking the president's agenda. brown brags about helping. >> i can name a litany of democrat sponsored bills that i've done that never would have passed if it hadn't been for me. the president called me and the vice president calls me and secretary clinton calls asking for my vote all the time. >> reporter: republicans jumped on the supreme court decision calling the federal health insurance mandate a tax but brown voted for a mandate in massachusetts. he says neither is a tax. >> what the party leaders and others say in washington really has no bearing on what i'm doing. >> repo

scott browne, i want to get your take. rick, everybody is looking for yields, where do you find it from your part of the world? >> i think our guests nailed it, there's a lot of good corporations out there. i think they're yields even though they're not astronomical, even if you look at the spreads, it's not bad, i think that's a good way to go. i don't disagree with that. i think having a discussion of needing more of something that was doing what it was built to do it a crazy discussion on the fed. ben bernanke is on the current president obama team. and i really think that one topic we haven't gone to is i think there will be a bit of outrage from a political standpoint to see more of this bans sheet expansion that doesn't seem to have done the trick. >> scott browne your take on this, what about you finding yield in this market? >> i think the fed has to do what fed has to do and i don't think politics enters much into it. i think the fed is laning more towards what to do here. not because the economy is weakening, but

on a number of levels. >> scott brown connects on a number of levels. to shift the focus for chuck back to the presidential campaign. mark mentioned, chuck, that mitt romney obviously going to be meeting with netanyahu and others in israel. let me ask the broader question. he is going to spend ten days abroad, olympics, poland, israel, talk about the risk/reward campaign for the romney campaign what do they hope to get out of ten days and what could they lose in that time if things go bad? >> i think the way they've designed their trip when you compare it to the overseas trip that obama did, they've minimized their risk. there isn't a lot of risk here. i think when you look at they're doing it during the time of the olympics, so that it will be -- if there's a big gaffe, does something that's -- you know that on a -- under normal circumstances would get a lot of attention it's likely to get buried a little bit because of the olympics. i think they have designed a trip that's low risk. he's visiting where he's giving his two speeches are probably the two

. >>> other news back home, michael bloomberg, a political independent said he is endorsing scott brown in the massachusetts senate race. and bloomberg was hosting a fund-raiser for senator brown. the mayor said the endorsement had nothing to do with elizabeth warren's stance against the financial industry. was senator brown's vote to a specific gun control measure that won him over. senator brown voted against a bill backed by nra. and warren said she would support the tougher background checks and getting rid of restrictions, so she is pretty tough on guns herself. >>> to business, facebook struggling to live up to wall street expectations as the stock fell to an all-time low yesterday. the social media company saw revenue grow by 32% in the second quarter from a year ago, and the gains outweighed by nearly $2 billion in expenses, a jump of 95%. and jeff cutmore up the road from us. >> 32% didn't cut it for the market, and that's the problem here that we saw 45% jump in revenue for the first quarter, and the street was looking for something better here. that $38 a share price back in

that whole made that happen thing has become the political fodder now scott brown running that ad against elizabeth warren. it is totally deceptive but is it effective? >> you're asking me, i'd say look, it is -- i think mitt romney has scored with this ad. i think he scored with this attack but the truth of it is every one of us that has been successful we got there because of a teacher who helped us on the government payroll or the highways or the employment opportunities or whatever. in fact, mitt romney told people in the 1984 olympics they did not get there on their own, they got there because of government help. he made the same point obama's making about jobs. >> i think that president obama went one line too far in that statement, and i think he's paying for it, and i think he should pay for it. it's an important distinction right after he finishes that statement he goes to silicon valley and talks to c.e.o.'s about what a fantastic job they are doing bringing jobs to this country. >> he was to us infrastructure. >> i'm sorry that was in a take -- it takes a village kind of thing

republican senator scott brown received new york mayor michael bloomberg's endorsement today and bloomberg's office says it's because of brown's work on gun control and senator brown's latest web video actually praises business leaders and attacking democrat elizabeth warren, reached the top spot on youtube. what's better, a popular web video or mayor bloomberg's backing? >> well, i'll tell you, i think this bloomberg ruse about it being about gun control is totally crazy. >> why? >> if you believe that, i have an empire state building to sell you in new york. i mean, basically the reason that he is backing brown is he does not like elizabeth warren's attitude towards cracking down on wall street abuses, pure and simple. >> ah, i see. >> plus, who supports gun control and the salt weapon ban? brown doesn't warren does. >> i'm sorry -- >> who supports legislation on -- on -- go ahead. >> i'm sorry to cut you. i've got to run. i love you. you're so smart. you have to come back. i love everything you have to say. that was peter fenn. still to come, we're wringing our hands thinking china will b
