but there may be an extraordinary circumstance where there's an impending attack on the united states of america that we would have to respond in any way possible to prevent another 9/11. i believe that's what the attorney general of the united states was trying to say. >> do you have any message for newt gingrich? >> oh, listen, newt and i have been friends for many, many years. i respect his opinions. he's a very bright guy. i'm not going -- we'll remain friends. >> let's turn to the tsa. they have announced they're going to allow a number of pen knives and other implements of that nature back onto planes, and a former tsa chief who ran the tsa for five years until recently has told cnn that he would go further. he said they ought to let everything on that's sharp and pointy. battle-axes, machetes, bring anything you want that's pointy and sharp because while you may be able to commit an act of violence, you will not be able to take over the plane. it's as simple as that. what is your reaction to that? >> i think maybe we need a congressional hearing on the whole issue of what is a danger to t

and that is very, very obviously illegal in the united states of america. it is flatly illegal under the constitution. there's no ambiguity about it. nevertheless, his illegal bill passed the legislature. the democratic governor of arkansas vetoed it saying in his veto letter, this blatantly contradicts the united states constitution and is, therefore, likely to be very costly to the state once someone decides to sue over it. the legislature responded by overriding that veto. essentially saying, we do not care that it is blatantly unconstitutional. we do not care that it is illegal. we are doing it anyway. strike us down. joining us now for the interview is the woman who will, in all likelihood, strike them down. nancy is the center for reproductive rights which along with the aclu has promised to sue the state of arkansas over this blatantly unconstitutional new abortion ban. nancy, thank you for being here.

may god bless you and bless the united states of america. >> i am congressman lee terry from the state of nebraska. republicans in congress are focused on creating jobs. we have held the line against tax increases and pass the balanced budget and forced the democratic senate to approve its first budget in four years. there is something else that we need to do and that is take on the high-energy bills that many small businesses and families are up against. this is important when the pain at the gas pump takes a bigger toll on commuters and truckers. i have led the efforts in the house to support the keystone pipeline that would bring more north american energy to the marketplace and the thousands to work. keystone will create 20,000 new jobs related to the construction of a pipeline and this will create another 118,000 jobs. labor leaders in my home town tell me it will create 2000 jobs here. keystone is primed to give the economy a shot in the arm and make energy more affordable and it will pay -- it won't cost the taxpayers a dime. the obama administration continues to block the keyst

every step of the way israel has built unbreakable bonds of friendship with my country, the united states of america. those ties began only 11 minutes after israeli independents, when the united states was the first nation to recognize the state of israel. as president truman said in explaining his decision to recognize israel, i believe it has a glorious future before us not just as another sovereign nation but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization. and since then we have built a friendship that advances our shared interests. together we share a commitment to security for our citizens, and the stability of the middle east and north africa. together we share a focus on advancing economic growth around the globe and strengthening the middle class within our own countries. together we share a stake in the success of democracy. but the source of our friendship extends beyond mere interests, just as it has transcended political parties and individual leaders. america is a nation of immigrants. america is strengthened by diversity. america is enriched by faith. we are governed not simp

we're the united states of america. we're not poor. and this president has had no problem spending money. $6 trillion he has added to debt. we can afford the white house being open. >> are you telling me george bush never took vacation? >> i'm saying the president of the united states of america, george bush -- ma'am, ma'am. president george w. bush never closed down the white house to use as a political way to score points with the american people. that's wrong. >> you're getting way off topic. i think we need to get back to the bigger picture here. and where are we spending where it actually makes sense? i mean, we're talking about these huge entourages. >> what's going to happen is that the real threat of the sequester has yet to kick in. in a month's time when the tsa will walk out and suddenly no one can fly in america, there's going to be a lot of real anger on the ground. what i don't like about this, it's so petty. and the point you made about george bush, he's absolutely right. george bush had far more holiday than barack obam

this is the united states of america and we have never been a nation of fear, blame, or failure.

so obviously if you think the battlegrounds is outside the united states of america, when everything thinking every moment of the day and night is to find ways they can attack the united states inside the united states, i -- my understanding of al qaeda and most people's is they'd love to attack the united states, and from within. and so i hope that we can continue this debate, as we said, but i also am very concerned about many other things, including sequester and the damage it's done, which some of my republican friends don't seem to be too -- as concerned as they should be in my view. >> shepard: senator, part of this is about the battle for the heart and soul of the party. that's long-held republican and conservative view on war to avoid it at all costs. that sort of a voice has had a difficult time. the rand paul wing, if you will, has had a difficult time having its voice heard. you and others have been interventionists. let's intervene in sirra, intervene in libya, let's been, bomb, bomb, bomb iran, is it your sense that -- >> do you really believe that? you really believe tha
