soros has not been invited to the white house. >> there's been a lot of white house drama.about the president and going forward in 2012, unfinished business and so on and so forth. is it prizing that the george soross are staying on the sidelines given where the republican field is? >> there's not a shortage of welt wealthy y on the list. but i do not think it's a big problem for him. it gives indications for soros to say why he is not satisfied with the president, but i think the president will do well with fundraising. >> president's super pac raised $59,000 last month and karl rove raised $5 million, that is a big difference. >> that is a big difference. i think there's real concern on the democratic side about money, i imagine the president, it's not like he is going to be incredibly disadvantaged but i think there's more terin terms fundraising, there's more energy on the democratic side and -- >> the republican side? >> yes, excuse me. the thing you saw about soros and not getting invited, this was a problem with the white house in terms of a donor base, the president

but soros is the one who said it. reporters ought to ask soros why does he feel there's no real difference? but for most republican voters, the idea of trying to nominate a soros-approved candidate is not a very appealing idea. >> what do you make of the trump endorsement of gov. romney? >> oh, nothing. the donald is an amazingly good manipulator of media. he's had another moment in the sun. he will be back again later. you have to admire him for his ability to do that. let me say one more thing about the santorum ad. i'm surprised both santorum and romney are not able to recognize the chinese now have a very aggressive program for going into space. the russians have the only man-rated vehicle currently available to go into space. and their willingness at a national security level to back off from trying to be the leading country in space, i think is very surprising. it's a long way from john f. kennedy's courage in 1961. the santorum-romney cheapness of twelve. i think the average american is not comfortable with the

president bush would have never mentioned george soros in a speech. ever. he wouldn't have complained -- like he would let other people do it from him. but as commander in chief, he never would have done it. there were plenty of people who went after him and based on their arguments and we can have that debate, but he never would have done that because he just wouldn't dignify it with a response. >> by the way, what's wrong with having an enemies list? i have an an means list. it's mean people, rude waiters, guys named seth. >> and bartenders who don't get awe drink on time. >> and the guy who took my banana seat off my shah win in 7th grade. >> it may not have been a guy that took that. >> am i missing something here or y'all know politics, right? these guys are the chief fund-raisers, chief supporters of the tea party. they do 20 or 30 some right wing groups against obama. they spend money against obama. >> do you think putting them in an ad is a smart thing to do? >> sure. >> really? that's going to -- >> i'm going to beat -- >> dana makes a fantastic po

i was surprised by george soros, cheerfully explaining in davos that he was happy with either obama or romney, because it didn't make much difference in policy, it was just a change of personality. and i was surprised at "the new york times" article on the romney campaign's decision that they had to destroy newt gingrich. so we stopped and said all right, if this is the objective reality of the campaign, the entire establishment will be against us, the scale of wall street money will be amazing, and the campaign will be cased on things that aren't true. then how do you define the campaign for the average american so they get to choose do they want two george soros approved candidates in the general election or would they like a conservative versus one george soros approved candidate? we spent the last four days laying out a campaign for the next few months in which although we will be outspent, we think we can communicate through the clutter and think we'll be able to draw for the american people how big the difference is. reagan had this challenge with john conley. goldwater had this

. >>> later in the show, an exclusive interview with the great financier george soros on why he foreseesuropean problems and what he thinks of the united states economy. >>> also, what in the world? mitt romney got me thinking about america's very poor. i'll show you the results. >>> finally, what the dickens was going on in the british government this week? i'll explain. >>> first, here's my take. if you're trying to understand the recent protests against the putin regime in russia, one of the best guides is an outspoken columnist who's been writing trenchant essays in the nation's leading newspapers over the past month. political competition is the heartbeat of democracy. this author writes, noting the absence of such competition in contemporary russia. he describes the frustrations of the russian middle class, demanding political rights. today, the quality of our state does not match civil society's readiness to participate in it. on corruption, perhaps the issue that most riles the public, the author is scathing. the problem comes from the lack of transparency and accountability of g

i was surprised by george soros cheerfully explaining in davos that he was happy with either obama or romney because it didn't make much difference in policy, it was just a containing of personality. he was surprised at the "new york times" article on the romney campaign's decision that they had to destroy newt gingrich. so, we stopped and said, all right, if this is the objective reality of the campaign, the entire establishment will be against us, the scale of wall street money starting with be amazing s will and the campaign will be based on things that are not true, then how do you define the campaign for the average american so they get to choose do they want two george soros approved candidates in the general election or would they like a conservative versus one george soros approved candidate. we spent the last four days laying out a campaign the next few months which, although we will be out spespent, which thi awake communicate -- we think we can communicate. reagan had this challenge with john connolly and goldwater had it with nelson rockefeller where the establishment had

so let me begin, first of all, with soros. now, we know that george soros was a close friend and supporter of barack obama. what we also know is that he had an important role to play in the, um, what the stimulus would look like, which industries would benefit and how it would be structured. what a lot of people don't realize, however, is that at the same time in late 2008, early 2009 that george soros was advising the administration on how to structure and where the stimulus would go, he was buying large stakes in companies that would be the exact beneficiaries of that stimulus. he ended up doing or very, very well. i won't go through the list of companies here, but suffice it to say we're talking about millions upon millions of shares of stock. just to give you a couple of examples to give you an idea of the timing, in the first quarter of 2009 he bought 1.5 million shares in american electric power. in june, just a few months later, american electric power got $1 billion in taxpayer money for an energy prompt in illinois. -

he thought it was surprisingly a hollow charge he has never met george soros. in his ads he is only using mitt romney's words against him. >> shepard: rick santorum is going after newt gingrich too. >> is he firing in all directions. he really wants to win in missouri. is he really laying it on. in terms of the speaker. is he really taking aim at this idea of a moon colony, releasing a new radioed a today that pretty much mocks the whole idea, listen. >> what does newt gingrich suggest? spending half a trillion dollars on a moon clone. >> by the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon when we have 13,000 americans living on the moon they can petition to become a state. [ laughter ] >> talked to the speaker about that just a moment ago, too. he says look, all i'm trying to do is give nasa a new mission, provide american jobs and get to the moon before china does. but if governor jerry brown was governor moon beam rick santorum is trying to make newt gingrich as speaker moon base. >> we did that i remember it distinctly. john robe

if it's between obama and romney, there is not that much difference. >> we can't afford two george sorospproved candidate this is fall. >> the newly nimble romney campaign immediately turned the tables on gingrich, pointing to the global warming ad he did with nancy pelosi, an ad that was funded by george soros. and rick santorum had gingrich in the cross hairs today, too. in a new radio ad accusing him of fiscally insanity, hoping to brand him as speaker moon base. >> what does newt gingrich suggest? spending half a trillion dollars on a moon colony. >> by the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon. >> santorum, campaigning for a win tuesday in the missouri primary, didn't stop at gingrich. comparing romney to john mccain as just too moderate to beat president obama. >> despite all the criticism, romney continues to rack up the endorsements. the two largest nevada newspapers have thrown in with him and looking ahead to the caucuses in colorado on tuesday, romney just got a big endorsement from the denver post. the post endorsed him back in 2008 when rom

it's like you versus george soros. that's how i'm seeing it soros is dr.l. >> judge me by my friends and judge me by my enemies. if george soros is my enemy, amen to that. i go home to my maker happy. >> bill: i'm seeing you vs. him: predominance in the world. >> i think what it is is individuals against the machine that he is trying to build. he is building it and he is destroying people's freedom and their savings all over the world. all over the world. it's happening in italy. it's happening in greece right now like nobody's business. i was in greece this weekend. spent six hours on the ground in athens. and tried to learn as much as i could by going to the different places and actually seeing all of the things on the ground that we have seen on television and try to put it in perspective. >> bill: what a mess. >> it's a total mess. there is no answer to it unless you start talking about a peace and freedom movement of small government and people who want to be responsible for their neighbor. >> bill: i have got to okay. beck. you keep us posted on this

i'm going to be the conservative candidate, he'll by the soros-approved candidate. if the party wants to nominate somebody that's acceptable to george soros. i think the rest of the campaign will be fascinating. we're having a great time in nevada, we'll have a great time in minnesota, ohio, maine, this will go all the way to tampa. >> one final question. i interviewed donald trump yesterday after he endorsed mitt romney. he said if romney gets the nomination he's not running, but he didn't rule out the possibility as runs as a third-party candidate, even though he said he liked you personally. i want to know if you want to react to donald trump. >> donald trump is as brilliant a self-publicist as we have in america. i know him personally, and he's an interesting guy. we'll cross that bridge when i get the nomination. my hunch is if i'm the nominee, he won't run, but we'll cross that bridge. i can't imagine anybody responsible supplieding the vote against obama when they know that would reelect obama. i suspect in the end he'll support the republican nominee. >> mr.

in 2002 george soros gave an enormous $23.7 million for liberal causes. some ended up helping fill john kerry's presidential campaign. on the other side, remember this? the swiss boat ads. bob perry spent over $4.5 million to attack john kerry. six years later we have super pacs. they accept unlimited donations from corporations, unions, and individuals to support their favorite candidate. an overwhelming majority of their money as we now are painfully aware has been spent on negative ads, and all the candidates claim to hate them. >> millions of americans are struggling to get by, and their voices shouldn't be drowned out by millions of dollars in secret special interest advertising. >> campaign financed law has made a mockery of our -- of our political campaign season. we really ought to let campaigns raise the money they need and just get rid of these super pacs. >> well, the man at the center of it all is jim bopp. he's the one who first brought the now famous supreme court citizens united case which along with other court decisions laid the groundwor

you cited george soros's $20 billion contribution and the insurance guy.e two guys are being relied on by democrats who come off the sidelines and give a lot to the super pacs. president obama, the house candidates, and they're not. . part of the reason is they were so disappointed by their investment in 2004, not bearing fruit. the donors gave over $200 million and john kerry still lost. so that's both evidence that maybe money does not always buy an election because that was a lot more spending, but it also democrats face as they try to reengage in the game. >> money may not always buy you what you want and jim had an interesting point there. but, you know, when you look at rich people, rich ceos, okay, look at a bank ceo, they tend to split their money between democrats and republicans because they don't want to p.o. anybody office. >> that's right. >> they want to get what they want. if you didn't give, they could hit you. >> right. and that indicates how much covering your bases like that becomes a form of collusion. >> exactly. >> our elections are n

know him who most people should he was co-founder of quantum fund with billionaire investor george soros was his partner there he's also a commodities guru author of many books including this one a gift to my children a father's lessons for life and investing i told him you know mr rogers i think savers are getting unfairly punished but i've been talking to people lately who say you know the economy is bad zero interest rates are helping savers are making money but right now no one is so this is just a deal i asked mr rogers if he could clear up just how zero percent interest rates are helping the economy you look up early just to tell us. person delighted to be here there not many people i would come straight to the gym for him to talk to but you're one minute just left the job. i don't know to whom you've been speaking but that is madness you have to have people who save and invest if you're going to build an economy i mean i don't know any of coniston history karl marx even realized you have to build up capital in order to build up your economy so if you destroy the class which saves

soros has said obama and romney are one in the same.t: do you want to talk about where citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington gets its funding? guest: we get our funding from people who support our mission and of nations to support our mission. host: what is your budget for the year? guest: the budget is about $2.8 million for year. it cost a fair amount of money to file the fec complaint. lots of ethics complaints with the house office of congressional office and the

he never said a word about george soros who spent -- >> yeah. george soros gave $37.5 million to americans coming together. in 2000, naacp voter found anance one donor. that was real money in 2000. i didn't hear a peep out of chuck schumer then. i never heard a peep when he was chairman of the committee and drumming on the heads of republicans using money through 501 c 4's. this is pure hypocrisy. >> bill: we are back to bashing schumer. >> it's so easy. can you imagine you are a democrat senator and that guy is jumping out on front and he is the face of the evening news for your party? please. >> bill: schumer would like to see him next week. 8.3 unemployment. that's got to help president obama, right? the unemployment rate is down from 10-1 to 8-3. looks like it's going the right direction. >> it has gone in the right direction. we should applaud the fact that the economy is coming back. two things. one is about half the decline in the unemployment rate has come from people dropping out of the workforce because they got so discouraged. we got

massachusetts gov ghov pro abortion and substantially dishonest and can't tell the truth and george soros. the liberal billionaire. and he was surprised and stunned by the last debate and dishonesty of mitt romney and he even quoted charles crod hammer . we are back with the panel with a quick review. >> i appreciate the shout out but it will not work. that was the best of the newt and the worst of newt. best of new. at one point he talk about the issue. we discussed early about the obama campaign and the attack on religious institution and talked about defending freedom and he was good. if only romney had the capacity to do the off the cuff that gingrich does, it would not be a contest it is because mitt romney is trouble with the language of an ideology he came late to, he's stumbled and made a mistake this week and there is such resistance in state after state to giving him the ultimate endorsement by the republican electorate . the worst of newt. he went into such detail on mitt romney attack it was astonishing. >> he said i am not going to with draw and stay in the race. he is reason
