politicians so they can guarantee fairness but steve moore of the "wall street journal" says no they>> the government hasn't made things fair. a lot of the government policies make the society less fair. you have to sit back and think about our society. is it fair that someone like peyton manning is going to sign a $20 million contract, whereas others won't make that money in their lifetime? is it fair politicians make three times the median income? incomes have to be determined by mark place. that is what the president is talking about. he thinks the people in washington should decide what your after tax income is and mine and tiger woods. >> john: he is not saying that peyton manning can't make a bunch of money. >> here is my problem. in our american society, richest 1%, tiger woods, peyton manning of the world, they pay 40% of their income tax. look, 40%, top 1% pay more than bottom 95%. we have a tax system that is highly dependent on very top people at the top. one of the things i think is unfair about our tax system if you look at the bottom 50% all americans beneath the median

okay, everybody, steve moore, let me start with you. in the exit polls for massachusetts, which of course mitt won, 51% republicans said they were extremely unhappy that romneycare went way too far, okay. and second, related to this, santorum slaughtered romney last night in his victory speech, or his election speech about romneycare. what do you make of this? how big of a problem is this for mitt romney? >> it's an enormous property. it's not his only problem, by the way, but it is his biggest problem. republicans want to make obamacare the number one issue other than debt come october, november. a lot of leading republicans i talk to, larry say that mitt romney is so compromised on the health care issue because of romneycare, he is simply not going to be able to really take to it barack obama. in fact, barack obama is going the say in the debates, mitt, how can you be against this? this isn't so different from what you pass. it's a big visibility. >> i think you favor obamacare. >> it's better than nothing. >> let me just ask you, put

steve moore with us from "the wall street journal" and as is eric bolling from the fox business network. let's take a moment to reflect a little bit, gentlemen, what the president had to say. he said quote, i'm not worried about the big oil companies, eric. he went on to express his feelings that the taxpayer is being negatively affected by some of these tax breaks that are given to these companies. >> right. jenna, either the president is grossly misinformed or he is blatantly lying to the american people for votes. here's why, he will, i use his words, congress, thought it was a good idea to send billions more to oil companies. that's not what this is. congress isn't sending oil companies a penny. what we're talking about is letting oil companies deep more of their own profits. so if you take that away, you're raising taxes on the oil companies, end of the day but mr. obama wants to paint it like we're actually sending taxpayer money to the oil companies. what we are doing though, jenna, is we're taking taxpayer money and sending it to the green energy companies that he outlined to th

steve moore of the "wall street journal," steve, when this report hit, it was not immediately dismissedt wasn't from a reliable source. and look what it did to the market. what does this tell us about the days that we're living in here? >> reporter: great point, jenna. the price spiked up to $110 a barrel. we've been at 100-105 level for a long time. by the way as you know, jenna, $105 for a barrel of oil, that's an historic high and if people want to understand why they're paying $4 a gallon for gasoline it's because that high price per barrel. now, what's happening in the middle east is clearly the driver of these high gasoline prices, and you know, all of this turmoil and all these high tensions right now translate to the american family directly in terms of these high gas prices. general jen steve, it's one report t. wasn't even credible, and look what it did. what should we expect if something more serious happens? >> well, this is the important question. if this really flares up into some kind of military strike, then, jenna, i would say that -- i wouldn't put out of the realm of

and steve moore is with us for the first time.conomics writer for the "wall street journal" editorial page. thank you for being with us. our "starting point" is super tuesday, of course. ten states will go to the polls today. there are 419 delegates up for grabs and potentially 2 presidential campaign on the line. if you look at the map of today's super tuesday, contest, newt gingrich says he's going to win dpnlg and polls are supporting him on that. rick santorum says he's going to do well in tennessee and oklahoma and the polls are supporting him in that. mitt romney says he's going to win massachusetts and vermont and idaho and the polls support him on that and he plans to win virginia, partly because he's the only person on the ballot along with ron paul. so that's probably a pretty good guess. he's leading by a lot of the poll there's. what he's focused on now is the battleground state of ohio. there it is a dead heat between mitt romney and rick santorum. now, mitt romney says he believes he will win the republican nominatio

steve moore. steve, this is enough of a difference of ideas that maybe this one gets through? >> jenna, first of all, hats off to paul ryan. this is a guy who i think heroically and taking on these enormous enlightment programs and enormous debt grown by five trillion dollars over the last four years. he is not a popular guy in washington right now because he does want to cut back on some of these sacred cow programs like medicare and medicaid and food stamps. i think almost all americans realize we can't continue on this debt path of bore he aring a trillion 1/2 dollars a year. so he is the first politician in washington in a long time, jenna, i've been in the city a long time, actually been willing to take the bull by the horns and say look, we have to change and we've got to radically reform some of these programs and get this debt down. >> was intern of yours, wasn't he, steve? you see this type of greatness at that time? >> jenna he worked for my great friend and the guy i miss so much, jack kemp. interesting you should mention that episode of his career i think paul ryan

steve moore, thanksteve joins me. how did he do. >> he seemed more more relax relaxed.nk he probably did himself some good. martha: this is one poll. it shows rising unfavorability ratings for mitt romney and increasingly better numbers for president obama. >> it does those and it shows those across the board. there are two areas of concern for mitt romney. on the one hand he lags behind president obama among independent voters with obama having a 50% favorability to 46% unfavorable. romney is down to 35 higher won favorable. he is lacking in enthusiasm and intensity from republicans. you have president obama with support from democrats up near 86%, where as mitt romney's support, his favorability among republicans is at 52%. there are two areas of concern for him if he is the republican nominee. martha: huge concern. if you can't rally independents and moderates and you can't fire up your base, you've got a big problem on your hands and it's going to raise that question again, steve about whether or not all of this inch fighting and prolonged process has hurt him. do y

steve moore is a senior economics writer for "the wall street journal", start off with a true or falseteve. [laughter] a single human being can effect the entire oil industry, true or false? >> boy, that's a tough one, jenna. jenna: come on. >> you know, i think true. i think the president in the longer term really can control gas prices. of course, the president would answer your question, false. he's basically blaming everybody but himself for these high gas prices. but, you know, you showed the statistics on what the gas prices were a few weeks ago. you go back to when president obama was first elected, the price of gasoline was less than $3 a gallon, so we've seen a big increase. and it's interesting to me, jenna, that the voters are connecting the dots between obama's policies which despite what he just said in that clip have been very anti-production. he's really been very adversarial towards the oil and gas industry in the united states. in fact, he wants a $40 billion tax increase on that industry. so americans are understanding that those policies are having an effect on the p

moore. he played steve schmitt. at this point in the movie the prep for sarah palin's debate with joe biden is not going well at all, and schmitt has a new approach. >> what we need you to do is to memorize 25 answers and four tag lines. do you think you can do that? >> yeah, i can do that. >> on the subject of nuclear iran, senator o'biden and i are most likely in agreement. they cannot be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, period. it was ronald reagan who said that freedom is always just one generation away from extinction. we don't pass it to our children in the bloodstream, and there is only one man in this race who has really ever fought for you, and that's senator john mccain. chris: wow. that's the prep in the movie. now watch the actual debate as it happened. >> it was ronald reagan who said that freedom is always just one generation away from extinction. we don't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. we will fight for it. and there is only one man in this race who has really ever fought for you, and

. >> that's woody harrelson as mccain campaign senior adviser steve schmidt and julianne moore as sarahday night on hbo. rejoining me is steve schmidt. steve, a lot of shocking things in the movie. not just your confrontations with sarah palin, but i've got to ask you, the thing that jumped out to me, did you really have to convince john mccain to stop watching msnbc during the campaign? >> you know, one of the things, lawrence, when you work with, you know, these men or women who are in these situations is, you know, they're interested in seeing and hearing what people are saying about them. and it becomes debilitating. you know, overwhelming amount of information that came in. so i suggested throughout the campaign, not just with msnbc, that maybe the best thing to watch at night was espn. he's a huge sports fan. i thought relax a little bit. focus on people who are actually going to vote, watch, focus on, you know, outside of all the political talk. and absolutely, i suggested that to him. >> well, i'm impressed that he didn't lock himself in the tv bubble of fox news, but he was on

steve schmitt. >> everyone is talking about julianne moore, but once they see the movie and see steve schmid, they away. >> one of the staffers who attacked the movie offered to be a consultant, what about that? >> he reached out to me after i interviewed him, sent me an e-mail saying it was based on a book he felt was accurate and then i asked if he could be a consultant on the project and a year later he's attacking us and the book, i was surprised by that. >> do you think this will damage sarah palin for any political future at all? >> i think the people who love sarah palin are always going to love sarah palin and nothing will ever change that. and the people that aren't fans, i don't think anything will change that. our goal wasn't to influence people's opinions, it was to talk about the system how we elect presidents. >> was this one of yours most rewarding project? >> it was fantastic project and it's a great story and a crazy story, you know? this really happened. it did happen. >>> hbo tomorrow night. >> that's "the ed show" i'm ed schultz, listen me to sirius channel 127 where i do the c

you have woody harrelson playing steve schmidt. julie and moore playing sarah palin.to anyone till after the convention. because no one knows anything about you. if you answer these ridiculous allegations, you'll be defining yourself in a defensive posture. >> isn't the press defining me right now? >> no new story lasts mo are than 48 hours anymore. news is no longer meant to be remembered. it's just entertainment. >> that was when sarah palin you know, had really wanted to respond to a lot of reporters. i just want you to in terms of the meat part of the film, you focus on how a lot of these other vice presidential candidates get vetted for months and months and she goes through a five-day process. talk plor about that. >> the vet happened unusually quick and it had to be done at the highest levels of secrecy because they were worried if it got out that they were trying to vet sarah palin, that it would kill the entire surprise of presenting her for the first time. so in having a vet in total secrecy, you're not able to do a thorough vet because you can't question he

moore, sarah palin. scenes and ferry would test someone so much less handsome than steve in the movie. >> so noted. this comes from someone on twitter. i would like you to hansard afterwards. given attacks by his own people on john mccain as manager and leader wonder if he would have been a good president. it comes from that discussion about enhance the trail in the movie but you said the sources you spoke with described him as not part of the management. what is your sense of whether he would be a good president? did feelings about him change over time? >> the vast majority of people think without a doubt from the point of view he would be a better president than barack obama but some in the campaign and you see this almost every losing campaign, some people i talk to you say based particularly on his performance in the financial crisis that gave them pause and something in the book. the one of the leading republican operatives, and chose not to vote. john mccain was troubled by his leadership and organizational performance. people close to john mccain and supporting him feel he would have been a

shake but i had more sympathy for julianne moore as sarah palin than i did for sarah palin as sarah palin. >> i think clearly the woody harrelson character stevesource, the biggest source for the book. >> you could always tell that, because they have the best speeches, they get the last word, you know, but it doesn't always have to be that way but in television docudrama terms it was fairly balanced and fairly entertaining. >> what did you learn from this movie that you didn't know before? >> because i had read the book, there wasn't really that much, but i did get something just from the scenes of julianne moore acting, watching tina fey as sarah palin in weekend update and how much actual pain that must have caused to see yourself lampooned that well and that mercilessly. >> i was watching it perhaps from a slightly different angle because, you know, sarah palin i served with her as governor for the brief period of time that she was governor, and i didn't -- i was surprised both in the book, but especially it struck me in the movie at how uninformed she was and it just hadn't been made manifest, i'll say that, in the national governor's asso
