romney sarah palin jim de mint this is a very small but very active far right wing of the republican party and they're making a lot of news and raising a lot of money off of their new opposition to start and russia oh. so bizarre to me that this new breed of politicians is using such an old school way of thinking since the cold war is long over but do you really think that you know they fear that the danger that russia you know might might have towards towards america or is this just all political gambling because they want to make it to the next election it's getting a little too easy to always point the fingers at iran perhaps other countries in the middle east and so they now just want to be seen as tough on russia because obama was i think it's a mix of political opportunism and ignorance pushed together so jim de mint in a recent speech referred to russia as the soviet union half a dozen times he wasn't aware that the cold war had ended right sarah palin probably is aware of it but just doesn't care this is part of their opposition to anything that obama does on farms and he's i

romney here is interesting too i guess you could say he's more of a businessman than a politician but this guy many say is the front runner for twenty top to be the republican candidate so you know how much does his work matter so this is exactly the right issue because for the senators they don't have to worry about an election

romney mitt romney and sarah palin who don't make really analytical arguments they just bash on russia and they bash on the treaty because they think that buys them political points. let's now have a look at some other stories making news around the world at least twenty nine people have died in a fire at a hotel in iraq's kurdistan region used by many the sting workers and businessmen the dead include foreigners from thirteen different countries while twenty two others were injured in the blaze the fire took five hours to put out with some jumping from windows as they try to escape local police believe an electrical fault . for the first time in almost three months the massive oil leak in the gulf of mexico has been temporarily stopped the breakthrough comes with the installation of a special cap on the deep sea well b.p. says results from the pressure tests are so far positive while engineers search for other undiscovered leaks america's worst environmental disaster began in april after the deepwater horizon rig exploded killing eleven workers with around seven hundred million liters

romney mitt romney and sarah palin who don't make really analytical arguments they just bash on rush and they bash on the tree because they think that buys them political points. the current heat wave across europe may be good for holiday makers but it can also create a significant fire hazard among the most effective tools for extinguishing the. russian helicopters and the global demand for these choppers is growing rapidly as artie's very few national reports it's every year hundreds of thousands of hectares of spanish forest disappear the reason. the combination of the hard drive climate and human negligence often creates an unstoppable force resulting in a national catastrophe. but now it may have medics match. sareen on the front line for many years firefighting helicopters are among the best and spain has welcomed their arrival. we chose the thirty two because we know it for a long time ago and we know that this is the best for fight for. you know fighting is very very important market and. it's the start of the five we have this particular firefighting helicopter the russian k

romney and sarah palin and a couple of senators who are just against the whole idea of arms control in their mind russia is evil needs to be combated and arms control in its entire frame has to be rejected there are a minority in the end the treaty will probably get passed with the support of conservative senators who have some concerns but want to get something for their vote and then you will still have going into twenty while going to the presidential election leading candidates like mitt romney and sarah palin who don't make really analytical arguments they just bash on rush and they bash on the tree because they think that buys them political points. now for some more top stories from around the world to sell the peace those sides of the kids or it's ruptured oil well in the gulf of mexico after they're just attempt to cap it three valves have been shot to stopping the flow for the first time since april and he is still searching for other possible leaks america's worst environmental disaster seen around seven hundred million dollars of oil spilled into the ocean in. the first

mitt romney, certainly sarah palin, someone in his view gets nominated that's too far to the right he bids. >> i want to go babington wave election thing, the surprises. one important place to look for it is wisconsin. russ feingold has been off the radar screen for a long time. polls are very close. we're seeing the money numbers come in. i think this could be one of those places where we'll be surprised. >> chris, while we've talked about the fact that many democratic incumbents are going to run away from the president, if they're in swing districts and have substantial numbers of african-american voters they can't run away too far. as is to you in the deep south. in those cases, democratic incumbents may call in a surrogate likes james kline don. >> there's an argument bengal combong on about television and how much television twizzing to do. your friend says lots of generic democratic advertising attacking the republicans. they don't care aboutou, they're not for the common man. so far the white house is resisting it. but ed rendell has his ideas. chris: he might have to go raise

. >> i remember mitt romney opposing the debate, and a melting snow man, and i am running for president of the united states, and to have a melting snowman to ask me a question about climate change. it didn't work in his favor. but ultimately he participated in that republican debate, and the numbers were huge. and begs this question, what is next in that context? are we going to expect in the next three debates, anything that you can tell that the prospect that youtube will play a role in that and vice president debate? perhaps more interesting for some. >> well --. do you have any palin videos? that's more personal. >> [laughter]. >> totally unfair. you were thinking it. >> i forget, what was the question? >> i imagine that wasn't just one off of youtube, the cnn debates. is there a desire for other networks to participate in this, are you guys going to be involved in the upcoming presidential campaign? >> i am not specific about youtube's involvement in the presidential debates. but there is upstreaming questions and both candidates have channels on youtubes and hundreds of thousands

head to head polls, you've you'o >> obama >> versus versus mitt romney, versus mike huck by, romney, obama defeated. obama against newt, against new defeated. obama against sarah palin, your favorite, eleanor. dead heat. >> you know, it's a long way to 2012. the democrats who are going to take this brunt this november are the house democrats and the president came into office. the improbability of him winning the election, i think, got people thinking he could transform all of the problems. there is a bloomberg poll that shows people blame president bush far more than they do president obama for all of the existing problems. they are impatient and this president has had extraordinary achievements. it will take months, if not years for the person on the street to feel that and it's the economic. it's the unemployment rate that is pulling this president down. he in popularity is where president reagan was at the same point in his first term. he used -- >> you think this is reagan, good luck. >> use the slogan, stay the course and it works well for reagan and i bet it will work well for

romney standing up against this and that's where i start to worry because this treaty if there are to having trouble just passing this by. it's only a thirty percent reduction and way you are calling for in your film is a world with zero nuclear weapons what not and so do you really think that that's what we're going to see that one day that it's possible. i do believe it's possible and you know we have some great quotes from people in our movie to count down to zero and one of the most wonderful quotes comes from ronald reagan who has many beautiful speeches one of which we have in the movie about the complete elimination of nuclear weapons from the face of the earth ronald reagan obviously is a republican president most republicans look up to their many republicans have seen this movie and have really loved it and i take a lot of pride in saying that this movie has bit of a nonpartisan feel we live in a very different time now than we did during the cold war and i believe that this is an idea whose time has now come because post nine eleven as we all know. the issue is much more abo

mitt romney is a much safer choice. mike huckabee is a dark horse in this. i don't think sarah palin would be a wise choice for republicans. as someone on left, i would love sarah palin to be the nominee. if she becomes the nominee, obamas can start -- >> she does have more chief experience than barack obama had. >> she's mayor of mayberry. >> maybe alaska doesn't count for mark but it's a pretty cool place. can you see russia from there. >> larry: one quick thing before we leave. we only have 35 seconds. laura, how is your health? >> my health is great, larry. five years out. i don't call myself a survivor. i call myself by the good graces of god and great family and friends a thriver. you've always been supportive of that. i appreciate that. i have two kids at home and they're my life now. i appreciate your asking thank you. >> larry: does five years mean it's over? does five years mean the cancer is done? >> well, larry, you know what they say. no one gets off this planet alive. so, it's a snapshot. we have a snap of a finger. so i hope fo

. >>> mitt romney is the early front-runner for the republican nomination for president in 2012. a political action commit me run by romney raised 1. million over the past three months. that's more than double what his potential competition has raised. form eaer alaskan governor sara palin has raised $865,000 and minnesota governor tim paul lentity, $724,000. >>> it's a done deal, late last night in washington, d.c., congress passed the most sweeping overhaul of wall street since the great depression. nbc bay area tracie potts is live in washington, d.c. with what it would mean for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it's taken a year, finally this is done, passed the senate last night and passed the house in december. president obama is expected to sign it next week. here's what the new financial regulation would mean for you. number one, there's a new consumer financial protection bureau that's going to be set up. its job is to make sure that when you enter into agreement for loans and credit cards, you understand all of the paperwork, all of the red tape. that is goin

he talks about russia -- that is mitt romney writing this morning and the washington post. people are watching to see if he will run again for president in 2012. nevada, republican line. caller: you know, i would vote for an independent if they had a platform that was capitalist and lays a fair -- laissez-iair. i voted republican my entire life but when bush did not veto the financial bailout and let the banks -- let the banks, dealers, fail so that their bonds could be picked up for pennies on the dollar ended ownership could change over to new wells, then i became very discouraged. i think there is too much money being printed, too much debt, ending up in an inflationary scenario and possible catastrophe. if an independent came in with the right words and platform, i would vote for them. host: what do you make of sharron angle. caller: i plan on spending her platform, i heard good things, but i cannot give you an educated opinion on that. host: she is running against harry reid did this fall. what you think of his chances of winning? caller: i just located to reno from ca
