under karl rove's visionary svengali leadership, crossroad's spending was profoundly ineffective this year. they spent over $100 million in the last election, and zero of the candidates they wanted to win actually won. zero. of all the candidates they spent money against, candidates who they wanted to defeat, only two of those candidates nationwide actually did lose, which means that karl rove's group crossroads had a less than 2% success rate in their spending. more than 98% of the money that they spent did not work. it's not very intimidating, right? think about it. if past is prologue, then in planning for the next election, if you're a political candidate, you would be very well off hoping for a karl rove spending campaign against you. it would do wonders for your odds, because 98% of the money he spent in the last election went the way he didn't want it to go, was wasted. but even karl rove's massively ineffectual spending on the last campaign looks positively impressive, positively robust compared to the right wing group that did worst of all. you think these other groups sucked

there might be some ethics questions about things like that. >> karl rove drawing -- ethices and karl rove. >> can we talk about showing up to work when you are really sick. >> please don't do that, karl rove. >> you say bless his heart. the president -- i applaud what they're doing with this group. for one reason. i hope they do it in a way where they really rally behind specific issues. immigration reform ought to be one. gun control or assault gun control ought to be a part of our commonsense around guns ought to be a part. the president were focused on jobs and income inequality as a part of that conversation. the president in one of his last day interviews with david gregory on "meet the press" and he talked about jobs and he talked about energy and he talked about the massive realignment of energy production in the world. as you know, we sit on huge piles, and it's controversial. natural gas here in this country. the president talked about exporting and creating jobs and helping to even invigorate the manufacturing base in the middle of the country. there's a little tension ther

it's obama versus karl rove. he is in behind-the-scenes the whole time and he has put together over $1 billion that will be spent in these last two months and we in new york are not going to see much of it. it will be spent in the battleground states. and he has becomes the king of the super pacs. when you put together his money with the money that romney has raised and the republican national committee has a total of about $1.8 billion. to put that in perspective and no eight, mccain had $375 million to spend so this is a factor of five and you will start seeing it coming out now. and the other thing i wanted to discuss about him is who is he really and what does he do? yes a political operative. how does he operate? what does he really do? i talked to a couple of sources about that and one who is one of several who has said because there's a dark and terrible beauty about what he does. another source that is a former cia agent named larry johnson who told me that you know the cia could learn an awful lot from k

karl rove will weigh in on the deal and the "60 minutes" interview tonight. adam carolla on shaming overweight people and carolla's experience on "dancing with the stars." there he is whoa. i hope you stay tuned for those reports. >> bill: liberal man, forced behind the global warming movement. well, mr. turner has a son. 49-year-old teddy turner who is running for congress in south carolina. >> a graduate of the sit del. husband and father of three, today turner is an economics teacher in charleston. turner will fight for more freedom and less government. so our families will have a secure tomorrow. conservative teddy turner for congress. >> bill: what! conservative teddy turner? he joins us now from charleston. are you kidding me? how did you get to be a conservative with such a liberal father? >> my dad asks me that all the time, bill, i tell you four years of military college at the sit del and two years in the soviet union, if that doesn't make you a conservative nothing will. and watching a little bit of fox nothing will, either. when you were raised yo

here is reaction, fox contributor, karl rove. welcome back. >>> thank you. >> sean: you got the senate came out and president came out today. did you get the sense he seemed to resent he was upstaged yesterday and bragging the success that he has had at the border? >> but the gang of eight did change the president's tone. i do want to say two things positive about the president. one was that the reports were that he was going to come out and go on the attack. that he was going to have a very negative tone. obviously what happened yesterday caused him to change the tone. he was complimentary of the gang of eight. he could have done a lot of damage by resolving this issue had he treated his political ammunition for partisan attack. the second thing was, i was interested -- he followed up on what the gang of eight said and implied that people who are here illegally, once they surface will not be eligible for obamacare and the suggestion was perhaps other social services. this is an important thing that the gang of eight agreed on, i

here with reaction is our own fox news contributor, the architect, karl rove, sir. i like the music, i like the dancing. what did you think of the speech? >> not impressed. you know, i agree with your comments in the lead-in. there was one other thing, the president kept falling back on this habit of strawman arguments of suggesting that somebody is arguing something that nobody is arguing. for example, no single person can train all the math and science teachers we'll need to equip our children for the futures or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs to our shores. who is suggesting one person can do this? what he's trying to say there is, you can't do it. communities can't do it. businesses can't do it. groups of private individuals, private sector can't do it. we've got it give it all to washington to do, but no one is making the argument that even suggests that. here is another one. we reject the belief that america must choose caring for the generation that built this country and building the generation that built this future.

karl rove got it disastrously and diametrically wrong -- >> and joe who also works for fox got it exactly right. >> joe wasn't on screen at the time. >> final word to you, joy. >> i think it is true, fox news has a lot of viewers. part of the problem is their average age is 103 and they're all sitting around believing in their deepest of hearts because the experts, the crack journalists over there, were telling them that romney was going to win. >> that romney had it sewn up. >> that all the polls were skewed, that reality was not reality. >> bureau of labor statistics skewed. >> all skewed. and all the data had a liberal bias. if they just skewed. properly, people would understand truth. >> i don't understand this. >> one minute, ron. >> the glass bubble was burst by the election. and so the reality that's rushing in on conservatives now is that most people don't want to voucherize medicare, most people don't want to cut school lunches. people like social security and you know what, darn it, people are okay with immigrants. >> guess what? they elected this president and then re-elected h

karl rove from texas. and joe trippi in washington. thank you for being here. i want to break down battles one-by-one. the first one getting attention is chuck hagel for defense secretary. how big of a bat doll you think this is. where do you think it will play out? >> this is the biggest of the five nomination fights we know about. maybe a vote against hagel. few republicans, none come to his defense. few republicans might vote for him. he has a contentious personal background. hard, acerbic and hard to work with. more important than that is the record on the issues. opposed to iranian sanctions. he opposed the iraq surge. defended dialogue with hamas. refused to join in a letter calling on e.u. to condemn hezbollah. he had a pejorative comment to jewish lobby. he has taken stances that indicateed he is less than supportive of the relationship with israel. >> there are two key democrats that could factor in how this goes. one is new york democratic senator schumer. >> he is staying quiet on the fight. talk about the real oppositio opposition. i think there wil

karl rove, he talked about a permanent republican majority. he was trying to set up a system where the country at least 50% would vote for a republican president, republican house, republican senate. didn't last long. so that's what you try to do. republicans love talking about ronald reagan. why? the reagan revolution. to this day they talk about him. why? from 1980 all of the way through 2000 it's been all about reagan. this is what you do. i don't understand, speaker boehner. >> what about -- so issues like gay rights which he mentioned there. what about practicality? what does this do to a lot of democrats that live in red states where people don't agree with that. they're running for re-election in 2014. >> do you vote based upon one issue or do you look at a variety of issues? same thing about the issue of choice. there are some people out there who say i am only going to vote based upon whether or not you are pro-choice or pro-life. those are single voter issues. when you look at polling data, you don't have a significant number of sing

karl rove on that in just a few moments. >> personal story segment tonight as i have been telling you, i have seen a change in president obama's demeanor since he was reelected. is he a bit more rigid and patient with those who disagree with him. others have noticed it as well. >> this is a president who i think who has drunk the kool-aid. is he feeling right now high on his own power and he is pushing on every front. >> bill: joining us now from new york fox news analyst karl rove. so, have you seen a change in the president's demeanor? >> yeah. i have written about it in my "wall street journal" columns. most presidents in their second term feel liberated and obama's staff has told some the national mainstream media that he too feels liberated not liberated to try to wring people together and liberated ld from partisanship. liberated to be more concentrational, more partisan. he can basically take the fight to the republicans and the conservatives and that his goal is to win the 2014 elections and return control of the house to the democrats. most second term presidents have a signi

now, they've followed -- the obama people have now followed the karl rove model and they're openly pitching corporate donations. the opening pitch was sponsored by a group called business forward. a lot of big companies, dow chemical, duke energy -- >> a lot of tech companies. >> comcast are part owner, nbc was part of it. they say they're going to disclose and that is a step ahead of where karl rove is but what kind of disclosure is the question. when i pressed katie hogan, the spokeswoman for the group, she said that's all being worked out. will we get regularly quarter live disclosures with amounts or will it be simply a list in which people can guess how much each of these companies are kicking into this agenda companies? >> the more minimalist they are, the more likely a bunch of us asking the president will end up shaming them to do more. we're stretching the bounds of the amount of information. once we go online, it's all there. all of this is legal but it's an mazing amount of information. >> the obama campaign in many ways was far ahead of private industry here. they were able to c

>> my trump award goes to karl rove. >> oh, yeah. >> on election night? >> on politics -- both, on politics election night he had no idea what was going on. on. si this was the year when we really saw the public turn against his enduring legacy of trying to write discrimination into state constitutions against people who happened to be gay. the republic and republican party are turning against that. that's going to be his legacy for a long time on this civil rights issue. >> as i said, for 20 years here on the show the donald trump award has gone to donald trump and once again i feel i will be giving it to donald trump. because i do find the impossible to outdo donald trump on embarrassing yourself. there are a couple people who tried to outdo donald trump. let's take a look at, for example, todd akin. >> oh, yeah. >> first of all, from what i understand from doctors, that's really rare. if it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. >> and just when you thought he had that whole jurisdiction wrapped up, there ca

i know karl rove thinks he iohen! onoti the sandpild we were always going to be hounding me a clue what you can with what we have. and his answer, wonderfully was in theory, you would want to go back to monticello. you know those wonderful quotations, we all know them. if i could only be with my books and at my farm and my family in the peace and rest of monticello. the road was open. he could have gone. new york, philadelphia, richmond, paris, london, holland, he was everywhere the action was, irresistibly drawn to it. because as a young man he entered into what he called the doubtful election between submission and the sword. the american revolution shipped him and grabbed him in a way few historical events of grab any generation or any man. i think he thought of the revolution almost as an organic fame. almost as a child that was adopted or created by this group of mostly men who would preserve and nurture it and feed it and make sure it survived its adolescence and could grow up and continue to thrive. the connec

. >> karl rove, who was later taken off fox news and his buddies were also wrong. middle class voters helped reelect president obama four months later. wisconsin also elected the first openly guy woman to the united states senate, democrat tammy baldwin defeated tommy thompson by five points. it turns out labor is alive and well. in fact, workers across america help us understand what mitt romney could mean for the economy. >> this is "the ed show." let's get to work.
