office when he was governor of florida thanking him for all that he had done to intervene in terri schiavo's death. it's a clear as day reminder of how conservative politics works in this country at a very different level from public opinion. how conservative politics works within the republican party and how it manifests when republican politicians are either in power or trying to be and yes in the terry schiavo case ten years ago and the indiana case today the rest of the country may have a very distinct revulsion for what is going on. the rest of the country may have a clear and emotional take about what is going on and what is wrong about what they're doing. even to an overwhelming degree. 30, 40, 50 point margins but inside the conservative move lt they're listening to different voices. they're hearing different people and if enough of them are in power, they get their way. as the country watches slack jawed and shocked and they don't care. joining us now is political analyst for the indianapolis star. thank you for joining us this evening. i know it's a very busy time. >> it is, thanks

tony: you are correct to point out the jeb bush was very outspoken on the issue of terri schiavo 10 yearsgo. this was an issue of the legislative executive branch exerting their proper authority not allowing courts to be the final say. of course, we know how that situation worked out. however, he also has a very clear record in the state of florida as governor on life issues. that was not an anomaly from him. he has been very clear and outspoken on the life. he understands, i have acc actions that done spoken with him, the threats to religious freedom. not systematically, but how religious persecution has been spreading abroad as the result of american presence on this issue. i know there have been some reports that i was organizing against jeb bush. that is honestly not true. i have not picked a candidate. i'm talking to him. i think there are some issues that conservatives have concerns about with jeb bush. common core would be one the our constituency would have concerned with. the content of what he says, as it pertains to education, we are not that far off. i think jeb bush has oppor

he got them to call terri schiavo as a witness in congress. ordering her to appear in d.c. this is a woman who at that point had been in a persistent vegetative state for nearly 15 years. but they subpoenaed her to be a witness in congress. the idea was apparently that they taught maybe if they called her as a witness in the house and senate -- they issued subpoenas for her to appear they would maybe evoke federal witness protection laws to yank her out of the hospice again. the american public was horrified by what they were doing. congress called a special session of congress specifically to pass that law about moving jurisdiction about how the case would be heard and take it away from the state courts and make it a federal issue. here's the "time" magazine poll from that time. this is amazing. regardless of your opinion on the schiavo case, do you think it was right for congress to intervene in this matter or not? by a 55 point margin people say it was not right for congress to intervene in this matter. and people were so rivotted to the story maybe the most remarkable t

terri schiavo. >> i agree. terry terri schiavo is not going to be the main issue. >> jimmy ignored those other guys, he was definitely going after jeb because you might as well start now. >> jeb also did say -- >> wait a second. let's go back to terri schiavo. what's the problem what jeb bush did? >> he flew to washington, d.c. and asked his brother and the republican congress to federalize terri schiavo's body. >> he asked for the feeding tube to be recertified into her. >> her parents had a different opinion than her husband had. >> last time i check, your husband matters more than your parents. >> again, terri schiavo whose feeding tube was taken away and her husband wanted her to starve to death. >> i understand. if the era was big government was over why was it so big during the republican revolution. >> i think that's a very different case. i wouldn't bring that up as something that's going to hurt jeb bush. >> how about the minimum wage should be decided by the private sector. >> you can raise that. >> i

and since that time, her family has created the terry schiavo life and hope fet network. of the group attended a mass and an event to honor her. >> scott i'm glad we're almost finished with march. >> march madness in the weather department, iain a foot of snow this month. the snowiest march since 19 knee when we saw the super storm. as we take a look the you will ma ultimate doppler you can see most of the action, it is out of here. we saw some rain. some heavy rain even a few rumbles of thunder but we saw snow north and west for the lehigh valley and the poconos. one to 4-inches of snow there. but look at the temperatures as we go toward the overnight. so by 7am it's going to be cold. we're looking at 32 in trenton. 32 in pottstown. upper 20s in the pocono mountains. so bundle up tomorrow for april april 1st. no fooling. but take a look at temperatures bite afternoon. below average in the low 50s. the high temperature today before that rainfall shot up to 59. the normal this time of year is 58. but look at the chilly conditions right now. 30 in the pocono mountains. 35 i

yesterday was the anniversary of terri schiavo's death, where the government, including the republicanshe way up to the president got involved with the health care decision of a person. they are pretty hypocritical with matters related to health care, because the entire government got involved in that situation. they haven't provided any solid health care format that they would actually approve that would actually take the place of obamacare. that is all i have to say. guest: there's really two parts to the question. one is is it hypocritical to take positions on life questions and also want the government less involved? i don't think so. it is an economic decision, economic framework. do you want the government more involved in the basic economics of life? for the people concerned about the terri schiavo case, this is a woman who was brain dead or near brain-dead in florida back in the mid-2000s. there's the question of protection of basic human life and different people can be on different sides of this issue without being hypocritical about where they stand about the role of economic

remember terry schiavo. he kept this woman on a ventilator for months. what does jeb bush do? his brother promised to represent evangelicals. and what does he do? >> i would not be surprised if jeb gets the nomination when this is all said and done if he ends up evolving in the way that president obama evolved on this issue. you look at who jeb bush has hired to run his campaign. a guy who is very supportive of gay rights. but they're going to get through the primary. they're going to see if he wins the nomination. if the supreme court comes down and does legalize same sex everywhere, i think that does give jeb an opportunity to evolve. back to cruz, i was with him in new hampshire over the weekend on his first stint on the campaign trail, and he was wearing that headset microphone that we still have a shot of. i thought that was very telemarketer of him. but he is trying to be mr. conservative on every level. this is all about iowa right now. he wants to be the alternative to jeb bush. so he's not going to bend on any issue at all. that's what we're going to see. >> robert co

in the aftermath of the terry schiavo case and your mantra at the time was that everybody needs a livinghis is really unpleasant subject matter to be discussing and unpleasant i'm sure for children or adults to be discussing with their senior citizen parents. my question to you is this -- do we need now, a separate category in the living will that speaks to this kind of a circumstance? sex among seniors? if they are put in an institution? >> i think that's a great question and i'll answer it and say yes, i think we do. i think it's important to cover all bases, i think if you're headed to an institution. let's say you're not suffering dementia. you're going into assisted living. maybe you meet somebody there. maybe you want to have some romance. is that okay with the institution? are your kids going to be protesting somehow? so the conversation is critical let me add something else michael in a lot of these places there's no privacy. the institution wasn't set up to allow people private space, you want to think hard about whether the institution should be changing to give people the oppo

host: i'm here he this bombing relates to the terri schiavo case.aller: well, they put her -- they stunned her to death. i was up there at that time, and i seen people trying to give her water and food and they were arrested immediately. host: ok, we will go to francine, atlanta, georgia, lie for democrats. caller: good morning. my view with just the death penalty in general in the red states of america, it doesn't make any sense. we should not -- in the united states of america, it doesn't make any sense. we should not be putting people to death. a lot of people are calling in and i making an assumption, but i'm thinking they are probably christian. even i'm a big separation of church and state person, but they are not speaking of compassion. just show compassion when you feel like it or when you really think it is needed. that is not your job. i think he should be put away, but i think we should be compassionate people. just like one of the callers said earlier. if we try to treat people the way we think we should be treated, it is never going to
