to vouch for john mccain. for his conservative credentials. sort of an ironic twist given that he made sarah palin a star and now she's here trying to shine the spotlight on him. >> and it is ironic also because there was so much of a dust-up between sarah palin and john mccain's former staff, the campaign staff, certainly in her book and theirs and yet, he always remained loyal to her. resisted prattling on and the criticism and she is returning that loyalty. >> absolutely. it's payback time now and sarah palin is going to pay back john mccain. she's now a multimillionaire, a celebrity in her own right, but john mccain needs help. he's facing his toughest election ever. so, sarah palin is going to bring out a lot of people here. it's two rallies today and tomorrow, then she's headed off to nevada to do a big tea party even there. one other thing i want to mention. there's a wild card in this race. the state republican party and some conservatives are looking to close the primary to independents, so it would o

the affair with john edwards. >> you know, at the same time she was dating john edwards, she was also dating jeff goldbloom and led him to believe it was his baby, as well. >> how about that jab, hunter taking that from andrew young. she's also suing him and he's firing back, a -- rheal hunter rsus andrew young, want to hear from you about that. 1-877-tell-h. >>> a story we want to update opponents of the democrats' health care reform bill held a code red rally hoping to stop what they call a government takeover of health care. congressional action is expected this week. >>> john edwards' mistress gave her first interview and we knew it would be a talker but this has taken on a life of its own. first, it was these provocative photos, there she is cozying up to barney, dora, the explorer but some of the quotes, she talks about elizabeth edwards, quote, i have such compassion for her but it's also sad to me her unwillingness to take pont for her part in the marriage. big time jab. also this, a big one, she says, quote talking about john edwards he, in fact, did say to me the first night

on bloody sunday march 7, 1965 john lewis, john congressman and chairman john lewis, and the late jose williams led a march in selma, alabama, to demand the racial and political equality in the united states. they led 600 civil rights marchers east out of selma, alabama, toward the state's capital in montgomery. they got as far as edmund pettis bridge, six blocks away, where state and local lawmen attacked them with clubs, tear gas, and forced them back into selma. congressman lewis was beaten unconscious, leaving him with a concussion and many other injuries. the events on bloody sunday were televised nationally and the nation responded to these actions. as a result, within eight days president lyndon johnson called for a comprehensive voting rights bill to protect african-americans and other citizens' right to vote that is already guaranteed in the 15th amendment. bipartisan majorities in both houses of congress approved the voting rights act of 1965 and president johnson signed this historic legislation into law on august 6, 1965, less than five months after bloody sunday. i totally

his name is john paulson and i barely knew his name at the time. and i just could not believe how much money he's making now while everyone else is losing money. .. the winners in this crisis, john paulson and others, but be behind it all and propels a doll is a conundrum that this shouldn't have been john paulson, it shouldn't have been these investors that i write about this made the billions and figured it out in anticipated this collapse. the investors who should have been the ones i was writing about included people like george soros obviously who bet against the pound's who at the time and the other investors the right amount, he should have demonstrated but didn't. warren but obviously, the greatest investor of our century or so. he could have done it and didn't. it might rain dose is an expert in march by securities and that is what john paulson three himself into learning about and analyzing and betting against. jim jeno's is the most famous short seller out there and this trade is a short sell, betting against things and jim didn't do thi

absolutely. >> reporter: also up tonight is john's wife, jen. she's competing in the evening's only ladies fight. what in the world is nice girl like you doing in a place like this? >> good question. >> reporter: do christians belong in a place like this? a bar on a friday night? >> our goal is to reach lost people, right? you're not going to find lost people in a church, usually. >> reporter: do you think there's any other church on the face of this earth that you would have been open to going to? >> not at all. not at all. >> reporter: when mike showed up about a decade ago, finding god was the last thing on his mind. >> i first came in and i said, hey, i -- i'm a bad dude, i said, i'm tough, i said, i'll fight anybody, i don't care, any weight, any time, anywhere. >> reporter: to say mike's background is rough is an understatement. his parents separated when he was 5. his mother became involved with marvin wayne eddy, a man now serving time for murder. >> it was 1984, and me and my brother, of course, were dirt poor. he decided that it would

john mccain. but this bs coming from the mainstream media, lately, about this, about this inciting violence. don't let, don't let the conversation be diverted. don't let distraction like that get you off-track, keep fighting hard for these candidates, who are all about the common-sense conservative solutions that we need. >> you know, i think she took a risk there. i think if something really bad happens this weekend and she's saying this stuff didn't matter, she'll be pulled into it. she put herself into it. your thoughts about the kind of rhetoric, the noose being sent, the windows being broken. the threats to stupak. i would have thought that the people on the right would be sort of sympathetic to him. they're mad of him as an apostate because he ended up signing the bill. what do you make of this? >> the threats to stupak, the threats to gene schmidt, a republican, any of the threats is really just totally out of place, outrageous. what we need to be doing is condemning violence and bullying a

and one of them was john service. service said official reports urging that we torpedo ally 53 and no on qualified terms that communism was the only hope in china. jon service and please remember that name was picked up by the fbi for turning state department of racial nablus strangely he was never prosecuted. today this man is on his way to represent the state department and calcutta by the most important listening post of the far east bob mccarthy was on the warpath gate the eighth hour speech and who are these people? ecap bridging and a lot of the information came from the nationalist chinese and known as said china lobby of which three were very supportive of the nationals. now i just spilled my watcher all over the desk. sorry about that. the family was on a freighter going across the pacific when one night a crewman came to the captain's table and said it is your name john? he said dsc said you better come up there is a senator talking about you on the radio. he went to listen on the short wave and sure enough

john larson went to one danish town leading the way. a place where residents are using remarkably little energy. if you'd like to lower your home heating bill, take a look at what they're doing in denmark. >> reporter: in a field 20 miles from copenhagen is stenlose, the largest low energy development in europe. complete with an energy efficient school -- >> hi. >> reporter: stenlose plans 750. super efficient private homes and 65 apartments. imagine winter heating bills lower than $15 a month. so how energy efficient are these homes? homeowner bo anderson. >> there's more insulation in the floor and the attic and also in the walls. what you'll notice is the walls are slightly thicker than in an ordinary house to give room for more insulation. and, also, the windows are special. they have three layers of glass with argon gas in between for better insulation. >> reporter: an engineer he used to live in new jersey, in an average american home. so energy inefficient he can still scarcely believe it. >> there was absolutely no -- next to no

as they were waiting, they were chanting sarah, sarah, sarah, never john, john, john. initially we were told sarah palin was going to be the keynote speaker and john mccain would speak before her, which is enormously unusual at an endorsement event. they changed that at the last minute, but it just shows you a new world order, campbell. >> i'll say. mark, you know, the last time we saw these two together was 2008. it was right after the election. and since then, we have learned all sorts of behind-the-scenes campaign drama, much of it documented in your book. what do we know about the two of them now? do they talk? are they close? what can you tell us? >> they don't talk regularly, but they do talk on occasion. and they have smoothed over some of the rough issues around my book and some of the other issues where there was questions about tension between sarah palin and some of the people who worked for john mccain. this was a new world order today. mccain needs her here. she is now what he was a little over a year ago, the most powerful person in the republican party.

john paulson and others. but behind it all, what propels it all is sort of a con none drum that it shouldn't have been john paulson and the invs. tours that i it all is sort of a conum john paulson and the writers i write about. obviously the greatest investor of the past century or so, he could have done it. he didn't do it. mike is a expert in mortgage-backed securities. that's what john paulson threw himself into learning about and analyzing and betting against. jim is the most famous short seller out there. this trade is a short sell. and jim didn't do this trade. david tipper who is someone i wrote about more recently he made $7 billion last year. he is known for his big trades. big debts. he's okay with big trades up and down. very volatile trade. that fascinating me and continued to do so. it wasn't the big group of big names on wall street. those that did it include john paulson as i mentioned, just to tell you a little bit about john paulson. he spent a career on wall street, he went to nyu, undergra

john mccain has never been a draw. we had him at a town meeting and we had 4,000 people atvil vilan university. i could see heroineing winning iowa, getting second place in new hampshire, going up to michigan and blowing it out of the water with mitt romney. she can do it. the question is, is the republican party comfortable electing someone who is not really substantive? i don't think she's sitting around doing her homework, i think she has perfected her platform skills, which are probably the best in the business right now. >> let me ask you about health care reform and how it affects this upcoming election. mccain, among others, is calling for a repeal of the health care law. do you think that's still going to be the pivotal issue come october? >> it's pure nonsense, of course. republicans take pride in their knowledge of the constitution, but the constitution requires a two-thirds plus one vote in the u.s. senate. 67 senators would have to vote to override a presidential veto. so as long as president obama is presi

on my left john f. ross who is the author of "war on the run: the epic story of robert rogers and the conquest of america's first frontier". two will be going in alphabetical order. jim will start. he's going to be showing images on the stage and so john and i will vacate in a moment but first let me tell you that james is vice president of research and historical interpretation and o'neill director of the john d. rockefeller jr. library at the colonial williamsburg and nation. and a lecture at the college of william and mary. he's the author most recently before this book of the land as god made corned account of the jamestown colony. he lives in our sister city in intellectual attainment, williamsburg, virginia.

we all respect john mccain but there are some profound differences and a record john mccain has that is going to make it very difficult for him to win a fifth term in the united states senate. >> and, norah, we'll come back to you of course when this happens. real quickly, how many people are there at that mccain rally? >> there are several thousand packed in here. we're at the pima county fairgrounds. they've been serving hot dogs and chips and giving out water for free here so there are a lot of people here who look to be long-time john mccain supporters. angry about what's happening in washington. we've heard from some of the speakers before. they said we don't have any violent people here at this rally but one of the previous speakers urged everybody to continue to fight for what is right. and just one other note, david. i think there's a wild card in this race. there are some republicans in this state who are trying to close the primary to independence, making it republican only in the primary. if that were the case, i'm told by sources that would be a death nell for john mccain

mccain, john mccain, john mccain, john mccain, john mccain, john mccain, john mccain, john mccain, john mccain -- [applause] >> i will hope that he sunday will realize that john mccain spent 5.5 years as a pow in efforts to defend our constitution which gives him the right to protest. [applause] the >> these issues are spreading across this country and this is a grass-roots movement that is putting the government back on the side of the people. some are calling this the tea party movement and it is a wonderful buying. it is a grassroots movement we are all part of this movement. i have been travelling across the u.s. and meeting folks and ask me about my friend, john mccain at these events. -->> at these events. i tell him think about it. what is the root of the tea party movement? back in 1773, remember the freedom fighters fighting against tyranny and big government intrusion and throwing tea into the park the -- t into the harbor to protest? they are saying no more intrusive government. that is what we are doing today. that is part of that tea party movement. i just have to remind pe

and john mccain says, give me the bottom line. and she says john, high-risk, high reward. and john mccain says, you should have told me that. i've been taking risks all my life. and that was it. now, ultimately the campaign of john mccain was sealed by the economic collapse. i think it would've been almost no way for him to have won even if the economy had not done what it had done, but nonetheless once that happened, there was no hope for him to win. >> the one person going into@@@p more than mccain as a prohibitive favorite to win her nomination. she opted to have the best brand in democratic politics that she had a network among both financial and organizational all around the country, with one important exception, which i will get to in a minute. she had a team of people who had been together ever experienced, and part of some of whom had been involved in winning two presidential campaigns in the 1990s. the first time any democrat had done that since roosevelt. she was smart, tough, she had gone through the crucible of new york politics, which is very rigorous and all

it was john that warned us. and it was john who gave us an alternative to the obama-pelosi-reid agenda. [protester in background] >> there you go again. stphfp[çç [crowd chanting john phmccain] >> i don't know. if there was any bit of fairness in the mainstream media today perhaps they would look at that and condemn that as a little bit of violence versus a peaceful yet absolutely rowdy as it should be assembly with you all here today standing up for our freedom again including the freedom to protest. god bless you for being here and being so strong. [cheers and applause] >> now, as a matter of fact, let me take the opportunity a little bit here to clear the air on what this b.s. is coming out of the mainstream media lately with the accusationç that it is a group like this that is inciting violen violence. when we talk about gearing up for a fight to take our country back. what we are talking about taking unarms, meaning our vote, meaning being involved in contested primaries. violence is not the answer an

john says give me the bottom line. she says john, high risk, high reward. and john mccain said you shouldn't have told me that. i've been taking risks all my life. and that was it. now, ultimately, the complain of john mccain was sealed by the economic collapse. i think there would have been almost no way for him to have won it even at the economy had not done what it had done. but nonetheless, once that happened, there was no hope for him to win. >> the one person going into this race in 2006, 2007, that everybody had a opinion, was hillary clinton. in reading the book, it seems to me, she's the person that changed the most, or people perceptions changed as she went through the long process that challenged her in ways he probably never foresaw. >> you know, each of these three characters stories is fascinating. i think for hillary clinton, the story is that she performed best when it counted the least and worst when it counted the most. i'll expand on that. she started out the complain far more than mccain has a prohibitive favorite to win her nomination.

they were chanting "sarah, sarah, sarah" not, "john, john, on." their words, the mack is back. >> super happy with the event. see if they get votes. have a great weekend. more than an interesting week in politics and more than interesting first week for us. senior political analyst gloria borger is here. got to love the theater event. >> you you nostalgic, seeing those two together again. she's sort of, sarah palin said, he was tea part before tea party was cool, or evenee eee invente health care bill goes to the president's desk. it's clear the white house, announced the nuclear arms agreement with russia. but the president wanted to have a big announcement at the white house they revamped the for closure program, he's on the road to do a health care rally, do an economic speech, moving around the country. they're try doing create the impression twee wewe were in a >> they feel they're going to sell the plan. they're going to say to the american people it's not as bad as you thought it was but, look, there are things in here that you're going to

john mccain has that record. i have that record as governor being able to reach across party lines to do what is right for constituents. candidate obama didn't have the record that is coming home to roast today with his lack of bipartisanship that is hurting our country. >> greta: interesting, you are the one who is up for reelection is that you get so much criticism within your party or even someone within the democratic party when you do reach across the aisle. now you are in the awkward position of trying to get all those votes back for doing something that we ultimately want our leaders to do. >> the issue here in arizona greta, is who is gonna be most effective for arizona? we have 40% of the homes unwater. we have probably one of the worst economies in the country. we have 17% real unemployment. what is on the mines of the voters in arizona is jobs and -- on the minds of the voters in arizona is jobs and jobs and the economy. that's what they want and what i'm working for. they are worried about national se

this is the court room word john mckinley and john campbell said as justices. it was very attractive. they had no robing room so they have to put their robes on when they ascend to the bench. the light in the room was quite dark. people joked that just it's needed no blindfold because no one could see anything anyway. this is not consistent with the framers conception of the supreme court role under our constitution. the founding generation perceive that the court as a second -- separate and totally equal branch of government. there is no liberty of the power of justice be not separated from the legislative and jet -- and executive powers. that did not capture the role of the court that the framers had conceived and that chief justice marshall had established and marguerite. -- in margaret -- marbury. they naturally develop personal familiarity with the political figures and pressing issues of the day. it was not uncommon to see senators such as henry clay walking down to the supreme court chambers and arguing cases. their virtues of familiarity, but there are

again, john is right about theisms. i'm right about the liberty. >> bill: you say running out of stuff? how many words are there to describe barack obama as a guy who is ruining the country? >> how many way does do you have to chronicle the fact we are losing our liberty, life and death over the funding of abortion. are you kidding? this encompasses. the economy a sixth of our nation's economy? it has it all, bill. >> bill: john, when your listeners hear -- because you are not known as ideological guy. people don't know john, don't live in the new york area, you are kind of measured. you are traditional. >> i try to be, yeah. >> bill: you are not some guy who says vote republican i'm a right winger. >> no. >> bill: okay. when does the audience turn out? you see, there are guys who make good livings just throwing bombs every day, boom, boom, boom. you know, and i'm just trying to say when does it get to be too much and the audience goes -- >> we haven't even gotten close. >> bill: you are like mike gallagher. >> we haven

because john mccain is facing his toughest re-election of his life. he is facing a challenge from the political right. another republican, j.d. hayworth, who's running against him in the primary. there's a lot of arizona conservatives, tea party supporters, who don't trust john mccain. they're worried because he has advocated for immigration reform and a path for citizenship for illegal immigrants. two, he voted for the t.a.r.p., that bailout for wall street, and, three, they don't trust whether he is a real or true conservative, in part because he didn't vote for the bush tax cuts. so that's what's at play here in this state, why john mccain is vulnerable in this particular election and why j.d. hayworth thinks he has a shot. so the reason everybody is out here today is in part to see john mccain but they're also out because they're here to see sarah palin and it's going to be the first time we see the two of them together since they lost the 2008 presidential election. >> good stuff, norah, thank you very much. >>> a major new victory for president

john, here i will say something. i think obama does not look like he's really enjoying this job. >> really? how do you deduce that? >> i mean, it looks like it's a great burden for him. >> do you think he's bored by it? >> i don't think 'es bored by it. >> bored by the issues. intellectuals handle that issue, now tell me something i don't know. >> he doesn't get along with a lot of foreign leaders. he doesn't make an effort. >> oh, that is such an exaggeration. >> i think right pat is practicing astrology. i think he's just looking into his magical astra logical crystal ball. >> quickly eleanor. >> he has settled in and kept his cool. i think now he's on the verge of getting a pretty matsch area cheervement. while he hasn't coz yid up. >> quickly.

republican strategist john feehery. john, i'll start with you first. let's talk about the lawsuits. do they have merit, in your opinion? or is this just political theater and postures before the midterm? >> you know, et, i wish i were a constitutional lawyer. i decided to go a different route in my career. so i don't know if they have constitutional muster. i think they're serious efforts. i think the mandate is a camel's nose under the tent telling people they have to do a certain thing. i guarantee you the individual mandate will prove to be the most unpopular part of the legislation, when people find out 100,000 irs agents are going to be hired to root out people who aren't getting their money and paying individual mandate and money to the insurance companies. this will prove to be the most unpopular part of this legislation. >> joan, what about the lawsuits? >> i don't think they're going to work. i have to say to john feehery, if that turns out to be the most really unpopular part of the bill then we can thank and blame republicans because it came straight from mitt romney. mor

you know john mccain. here is a guy with a straight face, a guy in washington, d.c., a congressman since 1982, saying he was duped to signing on to a $700 million bill. >> i don't see what his point is, though. he said we thought it was going to go to toxic assets. who did he think held the toxic assets? one way or the other, they were trying to bail out wall street. everybody knew that. what's the method for bailing out wall street? >> why is john mccain saying this now? >> because of j.d. hayworth, your old buddy from the house. >> we have the sound bite. do you want to play it now or wait until later. >> let's play it. >> he talks about his decades of experience, and knowing washington, and knowing bipartisanship when he sees it. >> which one is it? >> here is john mccain on this issue. >> you said you were misled by former treasury secretary paulson. >> we were all misled. he said they were going after the toxic assets. the toxic assets were the housing market. he testified to that. i mean, we were all

slept with john edwards the first night. elizabeth edwards confronted john after answering a cell phone call. she believes that edwards hoped she'd have an abortion. john edwards feared the wrath of elizabeth. he was emasculated. miss hunter did not think that edwards should run for president. what surprised you the most? >> oh, well just her candor in general. she didn't whitewash anything. she didn't sugar-coat anything. she answers everything. and i guess in specifically what surprised me was that she is very much in love with him to this day. and you don't call it a conventional romance. but they certainly have very, very strong feelings for each other. >> larry: all right, she feels such compassion for elizabeth edwards yet she also says this about john edwards, "most of his mistakes or errors in judgment were because of the fear of the wrath of elizabeth. the wrath of elizabeth is a mighty wrath." "she is pretty rough here. >> for better for worse, she answered everything from her gut. now i think in some ways i think

retired admiral john poindexter. i'm 26 years old at the timecomes to my familiarity with john poindexter suffice to say it's probably not as deep as many of my colleagues, but a quick graphical sketch on this rather interesting character who occupies a centerpiece in my book here at john poindexter graduated from the u.s. naval academy in 1958 of the top of his class, had a meteoric rise to the surface, was staffed by bob not merit is one of the illustrious whiz kids of the pentagon brought into the systems thinking on hard problems like how do we fight wars in the new century? of unexpected you would rise to the top of the service, probably become the top of naval operations maybe the chairman of the joint chiefs or dennis ruiz are easily sidetracked in 1981 to become familiar and at the white house national security council. he was specifically brought in by the then national security adviser to revamp the situation room, which despite the image we have of the situation now is this kind of nerve center technology

and john mccain says, give me the bottom line. and she says john, high-risk, high reward. and john mccain says, you should have told me that. i've been taking risks all my life. and that was it. now, ultimately the campaign of john mccain was sealed by the economic collapse. i think it would've been almost no way for him to have won even if the economy had not done what it had done, but nonetheless once that happened, there was no hope for him to win. >> the one person going into this race, late 2006, 2007, everyone had an opinion about was hillary clinton. and yet in reading the book it seems to me that she is probably the person that changed the most or the people's perceptions change the most as she went through this really long process, that challenge her shirt was that she probably never foresaw. >> you know, each of these three characters stories is fascinating. and i think that for hillary clinton, the story is that she performed best when it counted least, and she performed worst when it counted most. and i will expand on that. she started out the campaign far more

i think john would agree with his. in afghanistan and in iraq we are engaged in complicated conflicts. and then we're also still under the authorization of use of military force resolution addressing those individuals who attacked us on september 11, in a series of networks that are changing and growing. and i think that this will call for this administration which cares deeply, there's nothing more urgent than the protection of u.s. citizens within the framework of the law. and that's exactly what the administration is trying to do. >> yes, here. >> thanks very much. thank you, mr. koh, for your remark that it's very much a privilege to hear from you, and to hear your comments and your vision for the legal advisors office. thank you for your remarks. my name is allison mccain, an international human rights and i spent the better part of my career advocating for women's property rights. so i would like to ask about convention on all forms of discrimination against women. is the microphone present a problem? i'd like to

sarah palin sturms for john mccain. but can she really help him more in his tough senate campaign than she did in 2008? >>> rescuing homeowners. a new plan from the president aims to save the housing market and why should that spark controversy? >>> the no-cussing kid takes on vice president joe biden. we'll hear why. >>> and paying more at the box office. prices going up. you might be surprised how much it could cost your family just for a night out at the movies. >>> good morning, everyone. i'm contessa brewer. >>> sarah palin will be back in the campaign spotlight as she tries to rally support for senator john mccain in arizona. they're in tucson yesterday. >> we're being accused of being the party of no because we oppose some of the things that the administration's doing. the louisiana governor says, well, no, we're not the party of no, we're the party of hell no. >> well, mccain is facing a tough re-election fight of his senate career. he's leaning on his former running mate to boost his conservative credentials. n

there's john carney and phil kurpen. i'm glad to see john because i'm going to you, john. this is a ripoff. let's go to a flatter tax rate regime and stop rewarding lobbyists that rips off the taxpayers? >> that's exactly right. right now zee a system where he with the best lobbyists win. that's not the way our market system is supposed to operate. we are not supposed to reward companies that failed the most with the biggest tax breaks. why not say, instead, we'll lower the taxes of corporate america. taxes are too high in corporate america and that's why they're out there lobbying for these special breaks and let's get rid of the special breaks and have a more competitive tax system. >> john, you're so sensible, though. phil, what about the lobbyists collecting a pay check every week? how would you get them to go along with this? >> i would much rather see a supply side tax cut than demand side tax cut. so, i'm with larry on that. however, i do think that there is some logic here from a fairness perspective. they paid tax on a lot of profits that weren't real profits and
