do you think that is a problem nationally or just in minnesota? have had similar experiences with white-collar positions. yes. this was an interesting discovery to me that in jobs like this and not only walmart, you go through this application process, all the tests and everything. and then there is no point which they call you up and say, barbara, we would like to offer you a job at x-dollars an hour. will you take that? no. it is lucky, you, barbara. you passed the test. show up tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. and i thought that was so interesting to just zoom right by that discussion, that little matter of pay, and make you feel like you were really lucky. you passed the test. you get to work for us. i don't know if that is national but i suspect it is, these are large corporations. let's see. what do you think of the chicken or egg theory on speculation about poverty? that is that crime, mental illness, depression, homelessness, chemical dependency, police profiling, et cetera, can we really say which comes first? that is are people, you know, really su

minnesota, you know how close that was in the franken race. i think that obama is so dragging down the democratic party to defeat, 15 to 20 points if the election were held now. that we really have a shot at 60. >> sean: even california -- first the new york 9, it was a dramatic result in a very important part of the state of nevada. california three out of four californians are not happy with the job he's doing, especially on economics. something has shifted. i noticed in the president's speech today he seemed a little unhinged, angrier than usual, more divisive than usual. i don't know if he's like to the point where he feels like the country doesn't appreciate his greatness, his vision. there's something going on. >> there's something paranoid going on. the -- i believe that there is increasingly a feeling by americans that taxing the rich isn't the answer, because they know that it is the rich who spend money and the rich who give jobs. somebody once said have you ever gotten a job from a poor -- >> sean: i said that to you. >> you said th

>> you are saying it now but not when we went after bachmann for saying minnesota people should be armednd dangerous. >> armed is a different word than saying take them out. >> take them out in some halls around, you know -- take them out has a very specific meaning. it's not a political meaning. or sarah palin with her targets. let's target these people. you always have targeted districts but we jumped on it saying it was reckless. >> armed is bad. i'm upset by that. i think taken out is what you say in business. we want to take that guy out. i think it's okay. >> on this show, we have been very critical of people who amped up the rhetoric. we went after glenn beck when he said the president was racist. it wasn't violent rhetoric, i thought it would lead to violence to the president of the united states. >> i'm going to defend hoffa on this. he's rough and tough. >> that's it. you have to take the context of the moment. he's speaking to a labor crowd in detroit on labor day. >> if you use language that sounds violent, there's no excuse for it. >> you have to take the context of other co

[applause] and some people, some people said well, you are trying to criminalize parents. the last thing we want is for parents to be locked up. i agree. but you know the beauty of this initiative? we drew this initiative and had interactions with hundreds and hundreds of parents where we did what we call the d.a. mediation. sometimes i would have some of my prosecutors come and sit in the mediations. when i first rolled it out, because this was not traditional for a d.a.'s office. alameda county is doing it. i took volunteers bec

[applause] why would we apologize for the greatest animating principles of this nation that have ever been contained in a political document? they were set down by thomas jefferson himself when he wrote that all of us are created equal. until we have been given liberty and we have been given power by a creator. this nation is in parallel -- unparalleled because we have been blessed by god. the fou

for these players practice in these special as it was from this area you know with the team from their state for the fans. in minnesota from six in september they're trying. sessions before mr morgan was confident and quite optimistic and determined all of them bring very high spirits for you. one courage working within the system was supposed to be on the front and the back working now and stands are still strong for those affected by this tragic loss i think it sets hard hearted go to court and all that but than the families of relatives or so i felt very serious to spend a drink to do. go on about my mum my bundle this with everybody as are the next generation of jaroslava lokomotiv hockey players it's not just about rebuilding the team for the future of the city it's also about getting back on the ice as a form of therapy to help them get through their grief. but also have a strong wish to win bigger going out now they use championship and did in case they make sure it's my friends it was young and while this team practices an even number group is ready to follow in their footsteps. coming into play if you don't m

you decide what that means. that bridge that fell in minnesota was described as structurally deficient before it collapsed. >> don't forget with republicans in congress they came out of the debt ceiling fight lower than the president. they did not do well. >> they're vulnerable. >> they are vulnerable. the president was very effective this morning when he went out there and said here's our choice. you can fix 35,000 schools for our kids and make them work or we can have tax loopholes for oil companies. we can't do both. >> it's better to get action than blame assignment, right? >> no -- >> isn't it better to get the bridges fixed -- >> he needs to have some economic improvement to do well next year. he has to deal with recalcitrant republicans. >> here he is going after republicans including eric cantor giving them a little credit for not outright refusing his proposal. he is really leaning forward here to use a local phrase. >> to their credit i was glad to hear some republicans including your congressman say they've got -- they see room for us to work together. they said that they're open to some of the proposals

it doesn't it doesn't make sense you might build it someplace else and you know those take shelters in california real minnesota so it's that kind of analysis that needs to be done it's not complicated it's very routine it's been codified for decades and is used throughout the government and through a business and through a regular regulatory agency and i never saw a reason as you say that something of a working with today when in fact we've seen quite obvious there which is i think our politicians be able to play upon with emotions to continue funding these projects and even if i look right now secretary of defense leon panetta is starting to use this fear of defense cuts that are coming from the super committee as a way to say that it's actually going to lead to higher unemployment because so many people are now dependent on the overall defense spending and includes defense here at home on homeland security as well as in private and i thank you very much for joining us tonight. my pleasure thanks a lot. thought on fire we have our fireside friday and a family stick around for happy hour or take the flat a car

and ron kerry, former chief of staff to michele bachmann and former chairman of the minnesota republican party. thank you both for joining me tonight. >> hi, lawrence. >> thank you, lawrence. >> ron kerry, i wanted to get your take on the status of the bachmann campaign at this point. does that new york post item today make sense to you that she's in trouble financially and may be running out of gas soon? >> michele's always had trouble raising money from fund-raiser that can give more than $5,000. the life blood of her campaign is the small donor and she has largest donor file of any conservative candidate, whether it be congress, senate or any activist. so, she has a wide spectrum of people to draw upon. the question is, will they still give? are they going to write that $25 check if they think her campaign is dead in the water? i guess the next 30 to 60 days will show whether or not they still believe enough in her campaign versus cain, santorum or somebody else to make sure their $25 check goes to her and not one of the other candidates. >> ron, i just want to read something you wrote earlier in the
