similar questions were raised about president ronald regan and senator john mccain during their campaigns, but is it smart to go there, greg gutfeld, what do you think? >> he is so wrong. it's unbelievable. it's not that she's too old. she's too young. what the united states needs right now is a woman in her 90s. like a really, really old krone with an evil eye like the lady from drag me to hell, because old ladies never say yes to anything, they hate everything, and they have earned it. they won the attendance record for the planet earth. they ceded all. my mom is 89. she remembers hitler. this is what you need. we have a president who has only been on the planet for 40-some odd years. he doesn't know anything. old ladies know everything. >> she would be tough on terrorists. dana, what do you think? i'm fearful republicans might make the mistake of talking about her age or her appearance and fall into a trap. >> if hathey're going to talk about it, talk about it now and get it over with. here's my thing, 70 is the new 60. being 70, people are still working. there's a lot of active people

regan. in a transcript posted by the blog right wing news, the republican governor was quoted as saying, i was a teenager, had just become a teenager and voted for ronald regan. limited government, you know, smaller government, limited taxes, stronger national defense. 33 years ago, walker was only 13 years old. four years later when he was re-elected, walker was still only 17, not old enough to vote. several media outlets picked up that story. turns out the person who typed up the interview apparently misheard the governor. >> limited government, yeah, smaller government, lower taxes, stronger national defenses. you knee what you were getting. >> the governor's campaign points reporters to the blogger's connection that they said a vote for regan, not i voted for regan. the blogger is apologizing for the error. >>> and finally, new signs appearing in illinois schools declared the buildings gun free zones. you might think school officials will be in favor of this. apparently not. some are tak

. >> ronald regan. >> for two reasons. number one, because he brought us out of what was malaise. this is what he did, he saved the economy. he saved the country through the economy. number two, probably more importantly, another thing he did, he won what would be the biggest, the bifar the biggest war the planet has ever seen, the cold war. he won the cold war without firing one single shot. >> what? >> no help from the democrats at all. >> is gorbachev a democrat? >> that's funny. >> will shock you. you might not have heard, but i worked for president george w. bush, so he is my choice. >> it would be weird if you didn't pick him. >> and actually, i believe it. >> you do? >> yeah, i do. >> okay. >> my favorite president is dwayne elasaundo herbert. he managed the decline of america in style and with pets. an amazing leader. you didn't mess with him. look at that hair. there he is. >> okay, greg. leave it to you on presidents' day. mine is a fairly obvious choice for me, franklin delano roosevelt. he brought us through and out of a depression. he brought a nation that was relucta

. >> next topic, a text use at the university of south carolina paints ronald regan as a sexist who failed to appoint many to power of his presidency. the unfavorable portrait and introduction to social work and social welfare does not jive with the gipper's record. the book failed to mention that regan appointed sandra de o'connor. a mistake, i might add. and the first female ambassador to the u.n and then also he was instrumental in getting henson to play for the rockford peaches . a little "league of their own" fact i came up with. >> i was one of those women. >> exactly. i bet you want to pufn this textbook in the face. >> i think it is silly. it has no relation to the reality. i can't believe somebody is taking a course to read that silly book. >> is this why college is over rated and we should stick to reading wikipedia? do you need college? >> who reads textbooks anymore. don't you have a tablet? >> maybe it could be on the tablet. >> tell the story the right way then. regan was a lot of things. history changes history. let's leave him where he is. some people liked him. some people

. >> how does somebody say, and the white house has done this, too, with ronald regan, saying he would have been for this, or he couldn't have won today's republican party. what gives them the right to rewrite history? >> i have no idea. do you realize what nancy pelosi said at the end of the sound bite. the mandate is central to that, when she's talking about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. mandate is the opposite of liberty. liberty implies freedom, freedom to choose. mandate implied no freedom. i can't believe she uttered those. >> but you kind of can believe them. >> it's ridiculous. politicians, ask bob, politicians who say whatever they want whenever they want and no one calls them on it, but thank goodness we're calling her. just quickly, james madison actually had a comment, i can't remember the exact comment, but he alluded to the fact that laws shouldn't be so complex that they are too complex to understand, they shouldn't be passed that way. meanwhile, nancy pelosierse her own words, we need to pass it to find out. >> you're in luck because lynn cheney has a boo

ronald regan, i did a broadcast from the regan ranch on the 25th anniversary of the tear down this wall speech and it was a wonderful place. regan was always happy and believed in the 11th commandment and i wish we could reinstall that. >> do you have a theory on how some children in the holocaust didn't have parents or happy surroundings to say the least came out with no bitterness and a happy disposition? i know some of them. >> great story. i didn't tell it in my book. when i go to las vegas i play seven card draw... badly. i play the low-stakes table. sitting there one night late across the street from ceasars is the pink hotel. the flamingo. i go over and i am playing it. seven people at the table and there is a dealer. in rolls a guy in the wheelchair who was 60-70. he pulled in and said great day, isn't it? and i said why would you say that? he rolled up his sleeves, showed a camp number, and said every day is a great day because i am alive. i thought that was unfair. you are folding on full houses kings over three.

. >> ronald regan after jimmy carter trashed the economy. bill clinton, to his credit, rode the coattails of the internet bubble, and that worked for him, but it was nowhere near the regan economic growth numbers and gdp numbers. can i point something out? hillary clinton in a "new york times" interview, talked about not being in favor of a single-payer system as far as health care goes. yet in these documents, ms. blair said behind the scenes, she was saying that in the media, but she really was all for a single-payer system. >> like bob. >> like a government system or a competitive government, quasi government system would not work, which is what, it completely was different from what she was telling the media. >> that's the most damaging thing because people are going to say we get the drama, what happened? whatever. benghazi is a piece of it. rather than what they did in the past, what would she be like as president? if one of the things she used to advocate in her private moments, that she wanted a single-payer system, let's have her ar

[ male announcer ] there when you need it. at&t. the nation's most reliable 4g lte network. >>> and now, some fresh pickings from the political grapevine. required reading for a course at the university of south carolina is raising some red flags for students there. by calling former president ronald reagan a sexist, and defining conservatives as pessimists, resizisistant to ch. the textbook, introduction to social work and social welfare, paints a less than flattering portrait of the gipper, claiming he, quote, ascribed to women primarily domestic functions and failed to appoint many women to significant positions of power during his presidency. in fact, president reagan appointed sandra day o'connor, the first female supreme court justice and jeane kirkpatrick, the first ambassador to the u.n. the school said it is commitment to academy freedom, quote, our faculty are free to s

the same age ronald regan was when he was elected. >> biden will be 70, right? 71? >> biden will be older than that. no, biden will be 74 by inauguration day 2017. >> wow. okay, well, as i get closer to those ages, i have always said that, you know, 70 is the new 50. just work your way down. >> 70 is the new 69. >> exactly. >> but you're absolutely right. they're looking younger and younger. >> as are you, larry. thank you very much. >>> you think we have never been attacked on u.s. soil since 9/11? some folks in boston might disagree. so, too, now some folks in san jose, california. you know about boston. something just as chilling, maybe even longer-term more chilling in san jose.

regan set up the nsa as an executive order. this isn't the first president. i am troubled by executive orders in general, not just obama. but you cannot single out obama and continue to say every other president -- >> he singled out himself. he condemned the use of executive orders and said this isn't going to happen. but we said this is the value of what the executive orders are that are getting people riled up. >> we will see where this goes and whether or not -- this is a big decision and it will affect a lot of businesses and oil refi refineries and companies that create pollution. thank you very much. good to see you both. eric? >>> well john scott is in the snowy nation's capital for what is happening now. >> the snow is coming down. we are reporting live from washington, d.c. john scott mccain and john barrasso are here to talk about obamacare and ukraine skwch. premiums could be going up for 11 million folks working for small businesses because of the affordable care act. and new questions about the tea party's role in

versus ronald regan standing at the gate saying tear down this wall. he didn't have to bluster or bla make false claims. we have this going on in all of the arab countries and now in the heart of europe. >> what cup of action can the administration take? >> reporter: it is now too little too late. the europeans are in the hands of putin. 7-10 pipelines come from russia that go through the ukraine. so he has the europeans right where he wants them if you understand my grasp. the idea we can marshal and threatening boycotts or sanctions it is too late >> what is the sichation? >> reporter: i think it is going to be hungry like 1956. it will be a point of civil war in large parts because the soviet puppets will be dominated by proxys and special operations people that are being sent in to deal with this so it ends quote in their favor. >> not a czech republic resolution? >> reporter: no, i don't see that because no one is backing him on the other side >> hopefully it will end without more carnage. >>> how will raising the minimum wage impact the workforce

they're 10 and 25 rather than the 15 and 28 that ronald regan had. there is a 10% surtax on income over $250,000 -- over $450,000, rather, the plan is expected to have the tax rates at 10 or 25 for 99% of taxpayers. 40% of capital gains tax would be excluded from taxation. there's also a bank tax, this gives you one of the reasons why, kelly, this will be controversial among republicans as well. in order to get those rates down to 25%, you've got to do an awful lot in terms of raising revenue elsewhere. so there's going to be a version of the financial crisis responsibility fee that obama proposed a couple of years ago. so-called bank tax. there's all sorts of deductions that are likely to be trimmed in this proposal and that's why they're not talking about those today. that's why republicans don't want to move it, because if you limit the exclusion for health care premiums that employers pay, that can be called a tax on health care. if you exclude the charitable exemption or reduce the exemption for charitable giving, that is going to generate oppos
