the wisconsin comeback is working.

came in, deposited twice into your rainy-day fund for wisconsin. what dcs the priorities in the budget and where do you see that federal priorities? >> we tried to not take false choices. routinely in government here there's this false choice between either you have to raise taxes or you to dramatically cut service. you're talking about being a businessman. young or old, businessman, businesswoman, where in business can you find someone successful that says times are tough, i'm either going to double the price or i'm going to cut the quality in half? nobody does that, right? in the world outside of government nobody does that. they figure out a way to balance cost and quality so they find a way to be more efficient to deliver a high quality product at a reasonable cost out there. yet in government that is the false choice we are given. we said we will not take that false choice. part of the reason why we enacted big reforms and peeled back collective bargaining and empowered not only the state government but all of the local governments. i knew if

responding to the changes, the president of the university of wisconsin said in a statement the wisconsina is embedded in our dna. it is so much more than words on a page. it is the reason the uw system -- it defines us and we must not abandon this core principal and value. so governor walker told a reporter yesterday that the university officials had in fact seen the changes and they failed to raise concerns. >> that was language they went through, looked at, and somehow overlooked. so for us we have no problem in putting that in. our focus is is on creating authority and giving them full flexibility. >> are you surprised. >> by the end of the day, however, walker fully backed off the provisions saying they were a drafting error. the wisconsin idea will cannot to thrive. today, they honored documents saying staff in walker's budget office were the ones requesting the line by line changes to the mission statement. this was not an accident from drafting error, and walker was forced to change his story again, chalking it up to miscommunication. he said late on wednesday my chief of staff sp

i would be the first wisconsin governor assassinated.nt into detail about where my sons went to school and it reminded me why i ran and i stood up for the people of my state. >> there's then a recall. when you hear there is a recall, as a sitting governor what are you thinking? >> there have only been two recalls of governors in the history of this country and they were unsuccessful for the incumbent. i thought it was a big task. i thought i was toast. two big things happened all the students in the state went back to school and for the districts that used the reforms the schools were the same or better. and two months later property tax bills came out and after a decade of 27% increase the property taxes went down. we saw people start to realize these reforms are work. this guy is standing for us. he's doing what we asked him to do when we elected him. it's time we stand with him. >> you won re-election in 2014 even with democrats gunning for you. really gunning for you. >> the lesson learned nationally for republicans is you can actual

not just because i love wisconsin. but in many ways, i think the respect many of the people are trying to change with this organization and others like it, a lot of folks in washington, there is kind of a dome. 68 square miles surrounded by reality. there is a big difference between washington and the rest of the country. part of what i want to talk about is that contrast. not just between washington and wisconsin but washington and the rest of america. what i see here and have seen for years, even more so in the last few years, under this administration, is a place where, in washington, it is kind of a top-down government with a tired approach that has not worked in the past and i do not think will work in the future. what i see in the states outside of washington is a craving for something new, something fresh, something dynamic. that says and set of the top-down approach, we want something built up with bold ideas from not only state but local communities. the top-downin a way it is part of why we talked about our a

basically what he wants is to not have a middle class in wisconsin wisconsin. >> the guy wins three elections in four years. he does exactly what he says he's going to do. i'm trying to get union membership up. i believe in collective bargain bargaining, but what's the end-game here? >> i think the end-game is two fold. i think the reason scott walker is the coke brothers' favorite candidate is because he has suppressed wages. all workers, not just union members, lose wages in right to work states. $1500 a year less for every worker union or nonunion. it is a lot easier if you are a big corporation or a billionaire and you want to get as much money as you can to operate in that environment. >> some of his answers are strange. according to a national review at last week's off the record dinner walker made the claim that his stance against unions in wisconsin would be a signal of toughness to islamic jihadists and russian president vladimir putin. ruth, this is about as big a stretch as we have seen on the national scene isn't it? >> it is so strange. i watched it with my 13-year-old daughter.

this was the season four years ago in madison, wisconsin. thousands of protesters rallied against unions. the movement caused outrage across the country. we were on the ground in madison reporting on the action in 2011. since then walker has been on the national scene as a reagan disciple and corporate darling. now walker has his eyes set on the white house. >> 99% chance you'll run? >> i don't know that i would take the odds. i would tell you one thing after three elections for governor i wouldn't bet against me on anything. >> if you have got swagger, use it. the latest poll out of iowa with romney out of the mix has scott walker in first place at 16%. now what's interesting about this is it is almost like who is this guy bush? jeb bush is in fifth place with folks in iowa at 9%. there's no shortage in name reck recognition there, so what's going on? walker impressed voters at the freedom summit a week ago. >> we need leaders in america who understand the measure of success in government is not how many people are dependent on the governme

madison, wisconsin. newly elected republican governor scott walker rejecting a state budget shortfall introduces sweeping legislation called the budget repair bill. >> just like nearly every state across the country, we are broke. >> in order to close the gap, walker's bill proposes broad spending cuts, but also includes something many people don't expect. the elimination of collective bargaining rights for public employee unions. >> walker's plan was to make it much harder for public sector unions to bargain with state, county or local government or school districts. he was saying we're going to take away your right to exist. >> collective bargaining is not a right. in the public sector, collective bargaining is an expensive entitlement. >> state democrats dispute that union bargaining rights affect the state's budget situation and that wisconsin is broke. they also disagree with some of the bill's other provisions, which include privatizing state power plants and overhauling medicare. lena taylor is a

have you met northern wisconsin. my network includes, is mainly based, made up of waitresses, police officers, firefighters. running in a district that had a median household income of $48,000. we also talked to david smith, a republican candidate running in florida's seventh district primary. a decorated former marine colonel in one of a district that has one of the highest concentrations of veterans in the country. smith felt that veterans were underrepresented in congress. he said that the money that incumbents bring is virtually limitless. creating a system where small contributions are matched with limited public funds would allow grass roots candidates like westland and smith to compete with big-money candidates. the government by the people act would work to move us towards a small donor democracy in two principle ways. it would amplify the voices by matching small contributions that come in small chunks with public funds up to a ratio of 9-1. for candidates that decide to forgo big contributions. and secondly

back in wisconsin, we know the score. that's going to be a big part of these gubernatorial candidates' campaigns, isn't it? >> no question. scott walker is expanding his theme when he ran for re-election this year. he essentially posted as wisconsin versus washington. now he's taking that message national in this speech you talked about. in d.c. he said, you know, it's great to be here. 68 square miles surrounded by reality. so sort of sharpening that theme and saying let's deinvolve power to the states. let's let them create their own solutions. and by the way, look at what i did in wisconsin. >> that's a big part of a governor's appeal. but any candidate who has not engaged at the national level for a long time also is a rookie. and that means that they are going to have to step up and master a lot of these issues. national issues. whether it be entitlements or foreign policy or national tax policy. that are going to be big in a race and pitfalls for somebody who hasn't studied that. like i think walker hasn't shown. he

today in wisconsin it's not just about balancing budgets. our reforms that let our schools to hire and fire based on merit, a base and performance, put the best and the brightest in the classroom. and have an impact on the. we've seen great success. for the last four years graduation rates have been up scores are not second best read -- third grade reading scores are up. the people we elect at the local level on of the people in charge. to me that's a prime example where you take the power away from the big government a special interest, those driven by many here in washington and you put in the hands of hard-working taxpayers in the case of schools the people they elect at the local level, you can actually hold your schools accountable to be more effective, more efficient, more responsive to the needs and expectations of the hard-working taxpayer. the other story is about a woman named elizabeth. about this time about three or four years ago we were looking at making a change in wisconsin. most states across the country even today most stat

wisconsin is a whip saw state.s do well because turnouts are down. in the a presidential year turnout goes up. we're talking about whether a governor could win in ohio. there's polls in wisconsin that shows he doesn't do all that well as a presidential candidate. this is something to understand about the circumstance of the unions. they know they are getting hit hard. they know they are taking hits but i think they're thinking very smart about 2016 and 2018. they are starting to recognize that scott walker seems to have a different stand when he's in a gubernatorial race than when he's in a presidential race. >> interesting take. thanks so much. >>> coming up the future of space exploration. why astrophysicist stephen hawking says it is the key to survival and the one personality trait that could end civilization? civilization. we're right back. ever to run on natural gas. ships this big running this clean will be much better for the environment. we're proud to be a part of that. i want my yoga pants to smell like

and he was there as a competitor for the nomination for governor of wisconsin. he was county executive of milwaukee county. i asked to get some information about scott walker and somebody gave me some background on him and i learned that as county executive he had been elected twice. or three times? twice? >> one special, two regulars yes. >> in milwaukee county. now milwaukee county, being the county executive of milwaukee is a big deal. it's a big county, the city and the whole environs of it. he'd cut taxes, he'd improved education. he was elected by a 20-point margin in a very, very blue county. and then we looked at the results from the 2008 election. barack obama won that election. scott walker won his election by 20 points. i thought this guy must have had some kind of magic. i really hope he gets the nomination and goes to the new stage. if he does itle be a whole different ballgame if he troy tries to could this to this in the whole state. not only did he get elected, but he did exactly what he said he would do. now, look, i'm a businessman. i admire pe

especially the wisconsin crowd.here's a lot of questions around various things that have happened out there. i think in the end, that the big victory over unions is still going to be a net, is going to push it always in the net positive. for so many conservative activist voters, so many grassroot it's voters around the country, all they know about scott walker was, this is the guy who took on the public employees union, that will still be the thing they most lino about him at the end of this year. >> to some extent he needs to pivot away from that. when he's given his speeches in iowa, he focused so much on winning the recall, beating the union. he has to have a broader portfolio. his only calling card is governor of wisconsin. and this budget i don't think showed that they understand how to leverage being governor. more of a negative until they turn that around. >> i don't disagree with that but the depth of the anti-union sentiment, i know you know this, it is very, very deep in the republican party. he's maybe th

one of the things wisconsin is known for nationwide is the outstanding quality of their public higher education. it's their claim to fame nationwide. and their governor is proposing essentially to dismantle that which is an amazing thing in that state and which got a lot of people out on valentine's day on a saturday at minus 13 degrees windchill to not ice fish, but instead, to go protest what he wants to do. but you know what? come on let's be realistic. scott walker is running for president. and so this is the kind of thing he's going to be doing for the next year or so. he is, in fact increasingly seen as a top tier presidential candidate on the republican side. i think that is in part because conservatives nationwide, they may love the idea of destroying the university of wisconsin. i don't know. i think it's probably driven more by the fact that a lot of the other would-be top tier candidates who are supposed to be competing with scott walker right now, those other would-be top tier candidates are having trouble right out of the gate, new jersey governor chris christie has had a
