welcome, everybody. right to breaking news. two western journalists including an american journalist has been killed in syria. the american is marie colvin who reported from syria for us just hours ago as he was talking to anderson cooper on this network. remi ochlik is a french photographer who was also killed. it happened in the city of homs. we have new videotape to show you. this is showing you the rubble from that videotape where the shelling rather, where the journalists were killed. and last night when she was talking to anderson on ac 360, mary colvin talked about the murder, as she put it, that she sees happening in that scity every single day. this is the worse, anderson, for many reasons. i think the last time we talked when i was what mathere s nowhe to run. the syrian army is holding the perimeter. there s far more ordnance being poured into this city and no way of predicting where it s going to land. mary colvin, you see her there with an eye patch over he
islamic efforts, but lone wolf attacks and threats that they monitor around the country and this could be completely different than all of that. we really don t know who this person may have been, we do know that it is a shooter that apparently was shooting aimlessly. he we don t know whether this was a specific effort after congress woman giffords or whether, as congressman hayworth suggested, that it was someone trying to make a big splash. i can tell you up here on capitol hill, there s always security concerns. especially with the swearing in of the 112th congress. you saw, you were up here, jamie, the security surrounding this whole event so they re stepping up things. but when congress, men, women, lawmakers go back to their districts, often there s very little security. congress woman giffords a blue dog democrat and moderate democrat from tucson, just this past week brought forward
he was their candidate and he lost by a pretty significant margin. other tea party candidates won. well, understand this, $25 million according to the center responsive politics. i don t want to go back and refight that, but just to make a point, record-setting spending and that s a tall order in any circumstance and i think we re talking about different races around the country. go ahead, chris. without getting into those. we do have the defeats of incumbent republican senators robert bennet and the victory in delaware by christine oo donnell who is backed by, of course, tea party groups. but congressman hayworth, let me ask you this then. even let s say that in the biggest picture the people who say that 71% behind the tea party understand it is for lower taxes, smaller government. they want to lower the deficit. i don t think if you go to
republicans. 71% now consider themselves tea party supporters. overall, our new nbc news/ wall street journal poll find it is good for politics. i m joined by j.d. hayworth who recently lost his tea-party backed clback ed challenge to senator john mccain for the nomination. gentlemen, good to see you, good morning. congressman hayworth, i want your take on it. is this poll which i thought 71% was an astonishing number. is this a reflection just of sort of the general mood whether you re a democrat or the republicans? clearly, there s a throw the bums out kind of mentality or do you think there are a lot of republicans who are disenchanted with the party and are looking for a different, more conservative way? well, chris, i hate to put it this way, but i think it s a little bit of both. i think there is very much an anti-washington mood and i think there is a mood for real reform
to it than this dreck. look at the contract with america, it came out after 40 years of democratic rule in one page, 867 words. the republicans explained how they were going to be different from 40 years of democrats. we ve now had a four-year gap between republican control of congress and democrats and now they ve got to produce a document longer than the american constitution. mr. hayworth, i want to play a clip of an interview dana bash did earlier today with house republican leader john boehner. reporter: you talk about the rebellion out there. part of what those rebellious voters want to know is they want you to be specific because as you probably know, as you know, that maybe aren t enamored of the democrats but they don t trust you as republicans. that s why we ve outlined clearly in our pledge what we would and would not do. i think when it comes to spending we ve been very specific about common sense steps we can do. reporter: give me one example. how about the unspe
