there's a big difference between karl rove and ham rove. jimmy put up the pictures. [ laughter ] no, jimmy -- [cheers and applause] jimmy, no, not two ham roves, one of them should be karl. thank you, thank you. they are totally different. but, okay, because easter is coming up i want to ask everybody to make sure that the nice juicy ham you are cutting into is not karl rove. [ laughter ] there's an easy test. before you slice into your ham, ask it if it ever put anti-gay marriage legislation in swing states to tip the scales in the 2004 presidential election. if it answers yes, that could be karl rove. [ laughter ] actually if it answers at all, better not eat it at all. [ laughter ] and karl, to avoid any confusion with ham rove for the next week or so, please avoid the urge to cover your face with pineapple rings.

sign the petition to give karl rove a piece of your mind. it's not your party, karl. >> they seem to be openly going at each other's throats here. >> right, you know, often, when they say, hey, this party that just lost this election needs to rethink its future, they end up not doing that. but karl rove and the other folks in the republican party have kind of forced this conversation on to the republican party. this is more than rethinking. you're right. they are at war with each other. and democrats are just absolutely loving it. what's better for them than republicans spending their own money attacking each other and tearing themselves down all the way into this midterm election. the longer they do this, the better chance that democrats have to actually take the house this next and then give obama the last two years of his presidency to actually get some legislation through. until democrats are back in control of the house, the republicans, no matter how poorly they do on the national stage, can continue to block the progressive agenda. >>

[ laughter ] >> head on back to the great lone star state and put their name on some ballot. >> i would say if i did run for office and win, i would serve out my term. i wouldn't leave office in midterm. >> bill: oh. mr. rove referring to governor palin resigning as governor of alaska in 2009. obviously no love lost there. joining us now from miami, fox news senior political analyst brit hume. first of all, you borrow that from hillary clinton's pants suit? >> this is my south beach look, bill. don't knock it. >> bill: i can see you in south beach. really, i'm going to send watters down to follow you

so i think there's a chance that karl rove might not have been too off on that one. it's perhaps one of the things i agree with karl rove on. >> of course that is exactly what the strategy seems to have been in the last two election cycles is to write off vast swaths of the population. jonathan, i want to talk about the politics of this before we have to go. that is, obviously on the democratic party side, i mean, this is kind of a, you know, no brainer gate issue i would say for someone seeking the nomination on the democratic ticket. on the republican side, though, i'm not sure i agree with karl rove that the person who is their nominee would be an advocate. it certainly seems like it's going to be a much tougher issue in 2016 for someone seeking national office, given the numbers that chad was just talking about. >> very tough for someone on the republican side to not be in favor of marriage equality? >> correct. i mean, given the fund-raising issues. this is an area where republicans are raising a lot of money. it's obviously an area where vast swaths of the popu

rove and got a surprising answer. >> karl rove, can you imagine the next presidential cam paper, a republican candidate saying flat-out, i am for gay marriage? >> i could. he said he may not win or he or she may not win. so something is going on, bishop. >> right. and karl rove is not known for grasping the obvious. right? here, he has grasped the obvious. every demographic group every religious group are now showing a majority of approval for same-gender marriage. it's an astounding thing. never in the history of any civil rights movement have we come so far so fast. and, i would say, even if we achieve full marriage equality and all of the other equal status of citizenship in this country, there would be work to be done. let's remember that when we got the jim crow laws off of the books in the signatures for african-americans, it didn't mean the end of racism. and there will still be anti-gay feeling and sentiment in the country that will need to be worked on. but getting the laws in order, that is an important step forward. >> these are all signs of just about every sector of the economy,

going through that crucible, karl rove went to dallas, texas yesterday with an explanation. it wasn't him, he said. it wasn't his fault. he did nothing wrong. it was those crappy candidates. he said sure, his donors were mad at him because of this last election, but they were only mad at him because karl could not find better people to whom he should give their money. "my pfteer yore was shredded a little bit by donors wondering why we were writing checks for people who then turned around and ran such lousy campaigns." "we've given away at least five seats in the last two election cycles, maybe more, because of poor candidates. our donors said we're happy to write big checks, but we're sick and tired of writing checks for campaigns that can't win." well, naturally, the self-assessment of a guy who just spent $320 million with nothing to show for it includes the sentence "our donors said we're still happy to write big checks." sure, they are. keep saying that. but the what went wrong post-2012 diagnosis for the republican party establishment that lost the election so badly

here's the straightforward answer from karl rove when george asked him this morning. >> karl rove, can you imagine the next republican candidate saying flatout, i'm for gay marriage? >> i could. >> he quickly moved on to another issue right after that. but, rick, rove's team knew this was making headlines. and they reached out to you before we came on the air tonight? >> that's correct. an important distinction that karl rove wants me to make. he sent me an e-mail, while he could see a republican candidate supporting gay marriage, that's not necessarily saying the nominee will do so. but here's the thing. the politics around gay marriage are changing and changing fast. it's been less than a year since president obama himself dropped his opposition to gay marriage in that interview with our colleague, robin roberts. and now, even some prominent republicans are settling on the same position. >> and, rick, you study these political poll lines. what is the trending telling us right now? >> it is moving so fast. in 2004, during george w. bush's re-election, we asked in a poll if gay marriag

anyone is that interested in lunching with karl rove. but the problem that all of these movements have, i think the real question that the democrats are starting to face about president obama, the extent to which how much of this is actually centered on obama. how much of this is going to survive him? he's incredibly charismatic and popular. how many of these people are giving to supporting obama. how many people will still be on the list once obama is no longer on the ticket. o.f.a., to build an infrastructure that will survive this presidency made some missteps. i think that like obama when he was running in 2008, big promises on transparency, no lobbyists in the white house, we're going to have all of these disclosures, didn't happen. and now transparency groups are starting to complain. >> they did do some. >> they did a lot more than anyone before it. but that is -- he promised he wouldn't have any of it. >> will martin luther king jr. be the be all and end all. charismatic authority even in a socialological criticism, translated in

same with karl rove, now coming out of the closet. we know his adopted father is believed to have been gay. what's worse exploying the big gory of others to increase your own power or being a big got? >> it's all calculations. this topic relates back to the gun topic congress can't get it passed while americans die because it's a political calculation. john: i love that you go back to the gun topic lee. brilliant. >> i think it's worse to be calculating about it, but that's the reason the tide is turning is because of that calculation because more americans are coming onboard with gay rights and the republican party are learning that homophobic stances don't fly with post americans. >> if the gop embraces most americans, where are the haters going to go? >> you just join the tea party i guess. i feel like the republican party right now is me when i was 13 years old and listening to michael jackson's man in the mirror. i knew i had to make a change. rob portman came out like pro gay marriage, did you not say anything. right now they're

bill: carl roeuf karl rove is on "fox news sunday." this topic came up as to whether washington is up to speed on american. senator rand paul. >> i think the legislature is about ten years behind the public. i've introduced amendments to quit sending money t and build bridges here in the united states rather than in egypt. 90% of the people agree with me 80% of my senate disagree with me. bill: do you agree with rand paul on that? >> it's a little more complicated than that. he is correct that the senate is not as responsive to the will of the american people as it should be. for example it continues to spend too much, another point that senator paul has made. on the other hand people in political office need to be leaders as well and they need to explain why, for example, we send military assistance to egypt. we want the egyptian military to you supportive of u.s. policy. when they buy american equipment, when they receive our help they tend to be more supportive of our position. the egypt leader is trying to play both side. if the un

and for that, a "this week" first, jim messina and karl rove join our powerhouse roundtable. welcome to both of you, along with donna brazile, peggy noonan and "nightline" anchor terry moran. karl, let me begin with you, 5:00 a.m., the senate passes a budget. the house has already passed a budget. very stark differences between the two, everyone waiting for president obama to weigh in on this. i guess my question to you is, despite those stark differences, do you see this as the beginning of negotiations toward a compromise? >> i frankly take this as a constructive sign. it gives the guidelines for the senate to go pass appropriations bill. under what's called protection. they don't require 16 votes. and this sets up, then, the normal flow of congress. with house passing the budget with less spending. senate democrats passing a budget with more spending and

it's reckless and wrong. >> greta: karl rove joins us. nice to see you. >> thanks, greta. >> the democrats have vowed to make the ryan budget part of the central focus of their 2014 campaign. we see the ad put out by the super pac connected to speaker boehner. is it about winning between the two parties? >> it's about big disagreements about the fiscal condition of the country and way to resolve it. if you take a look at the democratic budget, the budget put for -- let me move over to this side. if you take a look at the budget the democrat budget would spend $184 billion more than the house republican budget. next year would spend 347, nearly $348 billion more. it would introduce $20 billion in additional taxes this year and $40 billion in new taxes next year. so the deficit under the democratic senate budget proposal which only thing we've got at this point, calls for more spending and more taxes and bigger deficits. that is not where the american people are. recent polls this week showed that 55% of the american people favored the repu

. >> karl rove is no movement conservative. he has been called the architect and i understand why and he guided president bush to his second-term victory but in reality karl rove and george bush were the architects of policy disasters. >> very interesting. >> i was at a session there yesterday and karl rove came in for a great deal of abuse here. and the problem is it was technology and the consultants and they don't seem to have reconciled themselves to the possibility even that maybe the voters and they have generated at cpac were selling in the last election. it seems like there's no hint of reconciliation occurring there at cpac. >> now abby, same-sex marriage is big news today with senator robert portman but a gay group was banned by cpac and recently your dad said he backed same-sex marriage but the party is not ready to evolve. listen to this. >> we cannot hope to limit government if we do not stand up for the core civil society institutions beginning with marriage. >> just because i believe that states should have the r

then this non-homage to karl rove. how karl rove and the establishment lost again. and the scene from donald trump's speech this morning. let's just say, it wasn't standing room only. how about seating room plenty? here's a question. if it's a bad sign if you spend your cpac speech, is it, trying to point out what's craziest? enter wayne lapierre, ceo of the nra. >> if you aren't free to protect yourself when government puts its thumb on the freedom. then you aren't free at all. they call us crazy for holding fast to that belief. they can call me crazy or anything else they want. and they say we're crazy? that's crazy. crazy. crazy. it's as if sanity, itself, has been sequestered in washington. >> crazy. that's the word he likes. that's what we're hearing. see what i mean? >>> finally this week in conspiracy theories, is ben affleck a secret undercover government operative as in the present day version of character he played in movie "argo" that came out this year? the iranian government is not pleased with affleck's oscar winning movie which tells of the escape of

. >> karl rove, we see the national rifle association. >> if you say we should keep the mentally ill and criminals from getting guns, yes. but we're talking about in this instance, having a registry if a grandfather wants to give a treasured shotgun to his grandson or granddaughter, he has to register with the government to give that gun to his grandchildren. in addition, senator schumer insists on keeping a registry of guns. the federal government keeping a national registry of gun sales and gun purchases and gun owners. >> but if you don't have records, how does the background check make a difference? >> it does make a difference. right now, i can go into a gun store in texas to purchase a weapon, i go through a background check, they have to ascertain that i don't have a criminal background. and then, i can purchase a gun. why is it's different than that is politics. there could be a lot of mutual agreement found on closing some of these so-called gun show loopholes. we could probably get agreement on a widespread basis of peope saying, you go to a gun show, you pass a check, you
