among young people people maybe who had children when he got into power who went to kindergarten his waterloo among them and their future electorate in this context i think there's no mastermind plan planetfall he goes as a goes up wouldn't have the really proven to be a national leader there and it would have has always also contributed a lot so now we are going to see another six or maybe two consecutive presidential terms twelve years and i think this tradition is going to develop or the way it is and before. i get these are we're not quite playing such a rosy picture because despite all the treatments. let me give you an example with the north caucasus indeed kitchen i will specify it there is no war going on there that's a huge achievement but terrorist activity in neighboring biggest part is huge it's much worse than in the ninety's the same thing in the year so basically the problems never disappear the instability spills all to other places and that's why i don't think the decision was taken long ago because i think the candle had to react to new challenges every day well i think one

i'm standing here in the shop floor in waterloo, iowa of a great company called omjc, very hard workingast iowa and it was at a company called suca. and they create the grain storage bins. they have about 500 employees. i asked them this morning, wolf, about the president's jobs plan. they heard it. they had one word. they said disaster. it's going to be a disaster for hair business and their company. because they said it brings more uncertainty, increased taxes, increased government spending, everything that hasn't worked in the past, they're now going to have more of and double down and they just thought it was a disaster. >> because the president cites warren buffett as you know, he recently wrote an op-ed saying it's unfair that on his income, he might pay 16%, 17% in federal income tax, whereas his secretary or people who work for him might pay 35% which is the top income tax rate right now. you're a tax lawyer. is that fair? because the president says he wants to create a new buffett rule to change that so warren buffett and other billionaires would pay the same rate as middle inc

>> well, i was born in waterloo, iowa, and i love being back in my state.tter of fact, i'll be there later tonight. a woman, john, you will love this, offered to sew a shirt for me. she's taking half of one team's shirt and half of the other and sewing it together. so that's what i'll be wearing tomorrow at the game. >> splitting the difference. safe politics in iowa i would guess. congresswoman michele bachmann, thank you. >> i can't wait to be there. john, thanks so much. great to be with you. >> see you monday in tampa. >>> when rick perry said that, calling social security a ponzi scheme, is he right? nuts? or both? [ engine revving ] [ male announcer ] you won't find the toughness of a ram 1500 combined with the legendary power of a hemi v8 in any other truck. it's a beautiful thing. guts. glory. ram. >>> anderson cooper coming up at the top of the hour. anderson joins was a preview from ground zero. >> john, a remarkable scene here at ground zero. not only is there work still continuing on the site, there was also a choir practicing for sunday's cerem

nowadays when you get off the train at waterloo you don't throw up. the river is actually clean air. much cleaner than it was in victorian times. the river was cleaner than it was 300 years ago. why? because as economies grow more mature, people can spend money making the world cleaner, better, more fragrant. look at the great environmental disasters of the last century. where did the really bad stuff happen? it happened in the soviet union. it is happening now in north korea. in china. this is what happens when people have their economic freedom constrained by big government. so what my book really is about in the end is a plea for a more rational discourse by the environment. i want to stress here in case there are any people who think i am one of those evil nasty people who doesn't care. i want to point out that high and kind of vague nature boy. i really love long country walks in beautiful unspoiled countryside where the views are spoiled. i like surfing. i like looking at animals. one of the great propagandas victories that has been scored by th

. >> if we're able to stop obama on this, it will be his waterloo. will break him, and we will show that we can -- along with the american people -- begin to push those freedom solutions that work in every area of our society. >> i want people in minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of energy tax. we need to fight back. we, the people, are going to have to fight back hard if we're not going to lose our country. i think this has the potential of changing the dynamic of freedom forever in the united states. that's why i want everyone to come out and hear. go to bachmann.house.gov. >> don't retreat, reload. and that's not a call to violence. >> those weren't commercials, they were three top republicans out there talking to the crazy. people that worship the ground they walk on. let's see if we can break them. that's an old term about slavery. michele bachmann wants people in minnesota armed and dangerous. and sarah is famous for her rhetoric. nobody plays the victim better than the quitter from alaska. she took time away from her fake run for pre

. >> if we're able to stop obama on this, it will be his waterloo, it will break him. >> break him is an old racist term in the south and jim demint knows it. for the past three years, demint's tea party has carried signs all over the country. the most powerful republican in american spews this garbage every day. >> we have to bend over and grab the ankles, bend over forward, backward, whatever, because his father was black, because this is the first black question. how do you get promoted in a barack obama administration? byite hating white people. in obama's america, the white kids now get beat up with black kids chaering, eering, yeah, right on. it's a triple-double oreo. barack, the magic negro. how many votes did obama get because he was black? shocking number, folks. if obama weren't black, he'd be a tour guide in honolulu. >> herman cain has turned a blind eye to the ugly racism coming out of his own party. when it comes to the issues african-americans care about, cain's belief system falls right in line with demint and limbaugh limbaugh. where is cain on minimum wage? he was a

to prove it, she stopped at a traffic light company in waterloo, iowa, where they manufacture trafficsays the firm omjc inc. would thrive off our policies, less regulation and, of course, less government spending. >> we want you to grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow. that's my goal, to see you succeed wildly. >> to make sure everyone was on the same page, bachmann asked the company's chief executive, quote, you don't get a government grant to do what you do? according to "the l.a. times" mr. yost assured her he didn't. but it turns out that's not exactly the case. yost later acknowledged his company has profited from the infrastructure spending promoted by the president of the united states. in fact, as much as 80% of omjc's revenue comes from government. think about it, folks. it's a traffic light company. who are their clients? cities, municipalities, government. i mean, when was the last time you bought a traffic light? lightbulb on now, michelle? next time, bachmann might want to do a little research beforehand. just a thought. >>> coming up, the gop leadership says no to insuranc

she returns to waterloo where, of course, she was born. on "the tonight show" friday, yes, she was on "the tonight show" with jay leno, she continued to attack perry from the right. >> there was a situation where it was an abuse of exec tiff ut power. that's something the governor admitted. there's concern there's side effects that could come with that. it gives a false sense of ass e assurance when she has that, if she's actually active she doesn't have to worry about sexually transmitted diseases. >> let's get to what perry's up to now with the comparison of the romney background. romney born into wealth. rick perry, not so much. the theme is class warfare. president talking about populism, millionaires, versus the middle class, and rick perry on the campaign trail talking about his own personal upbringing versus mitt romney's. another form of personalized class warfare of sorts. should be fascinating to see how all this plays out. >>> president obama may share common ground with republicans when it comes to the amount of money he needs

she is in waterloo, iowa. that's where she was born. we are speaking to michele bachmann.e whole controversy that erupted a week ago at the debate i moderated, about the vaccine for mental retardation. we will talk about what the u.s. should be doing at the u.n. this week. as far as the president's new debt reduction proposal, gene sperling is from the national economic council, one of the president's top economic advisors, he will join us live at the top of the hour. we are covering the whole world. what better place to do it from the united nations. you should be here in new york. i know you would like hanging out with these world leaders as well. >> i would like that. you and i be sa side by side, well make it a date wolf. >> next year? new york. >> thanks, wolf. see you in a couple of minutes. >>> meantiming with listen to this -- >> if your family was destroyed by evil, i think that you would all try to do the same thing and be there for your family. >> this man, lost his entire family. his wife, his two young daughters during horrifying home invasion. now dr. william

presidential candidates and congresswoman michele bachman has gone up and down the state, indianola, waterloo, quoting my book at every stop and wins the iowa straw poll and on meet the press so the downgrade and the london raw goods and michele bachman i had a great opening week publicity wise. if you have read the ultimate chapter with its big nuclear-free mali you might want to be out of town when we do the publicity tie in for that. [laughter] you don't write a book called after america because you want it to happen. you write it in order to prevent it happening. the total societal collapse is not to read your and author of the destruction of the banking system makes it harder to catch the royalty check so i want to prevent the dawn of the post america world, and i hope you do, too. if you are in favor of the post american world, if you are a tenure lefty professor at an american college campus, i don't think you would enjoy it as much as you think you will. i'm often asked by fellow conservatives why i am being such a hysterical old queen about the whole business because if you recall pr

the president was elected that he is going to be a one- term president, and that he is going to waterloo him. that is a bold statement. then you have republicans who have signed a pledge to not raise taxes. that is in itself gridlock. therefore, if you have someone who wants to compromise, and you have pledged you're not going to raise taxes, and when the economy needs revenue as well as cuts in spending, you're not going to have a good outcome. the republicans ran on creating jobs in 2012. that is not what they are doing. basically, they're talking about cutting benefits. guest: i could not agree more. grover norquist, a famous activist in washington, his tax pledge is a disaster for the country. we believe no politicians should be taking pledges that bind them in ways that they cannot find common ground. and no new taxes' pledge is observed as a matter of policy. we did a calculation at third way that basically said what would you do if you have to reduce the deficit and you did not touch taxes at all, and that is pretty close to what the paul ryan plan does. you essentially, other tha

this kid is surviving an unbelievable journey through a recycling center in waterloo, iowa.rling blades and even a crushing compact before an employee plucked him from a conveyor bell. like an episode of bugs bunny. jus a whisker away from death. an employee has adopted the kitten. he'll make sure to keep him away from the garbage. i love an animal story without a penguin. >> no kidding. he avoided a catastrophe. >> i got it. very quick. >> coming up on our show, a local political ad getting national attention. >> all you guys want a handout. i don't have something in it and now you're getting mad again. >> the candidate behind the ad will join us live. will he be stronger than goats or donkeys during his interview? maybe. >> stand by. what can we expect from the president tonight? the white house press secretary jay carney joins us live in a couple of minutes. stick around, folks. ( grunting ) >> welcome back, everyone. president obama was the big focus in last night's debate. >> we love america. america is in crisis. we have some differences between us. but we agree that t
