he sent kids over there to fight and now he has undercut the sacrifice. and how much coverage did that attack get in the american press? not much? why? the american people excited about one thing when it comes to afghanistan, bill and that is getting out. and the press should reflect that? the press should report the story. the other night on special report the day after the administration witness said on capitol hill that benghazi was a terrorist attack bret baier held up a copy of the new york times to note that the new york times had not mentioned it anywhere in the paper. remarkable. this is how it will be for a republican at this stage of the general election campaign. the media is not going to help the republican broadly speaking the media. a smart republican campaign recognizes that plans for that and thinks of ways to counter act it. they have done it in the past. it is not at all clear to me romney campaign is doing that.
the nation as a bunch of victims and think that they are not interested in taking responsibility tore their own lives. i don t see a lot of victims in this crowd today. chris: president obama jumping on what has now become mitt romney s infamous 47% video and time for the sunday group. brit hume, fox news senior political analyst. kasie hunt of the associated press. bill kristol from the weekly standard and fox news political analyst juan williams. bill, you didn t waste any time after the video coming out saying that mr. romney was quote, his remarks were, are let s condemn the action, not the man. stupid and arrogant. any second thoughts? i might have been a tad harsh i suppose. some people have informed me of that. i think the romney campaign thought it was a little bit over the top. if you have been a conservative fighting for 30 years and i got to washington 25 years ago and made the case over and over to
36% of american 46% of americans don t pay any federal income taxes. beyond the politics and at this point there is nothing but politics but beyond the politics is it good policy for so many americans not to have any skin in the game? i think it is crazy that americans don t have skin in the game. the payroll tax hits lower to middle class families quite frankly harder than it hits somebody like mitt romney. they have got skin in the game. in that so called 47% mitt romney includes those that are living solely on medicare and social security right now. those are people that paid in to the system and now they are getting what is their benefits that are due. look, chris, i thought the most devastating thing about the video is not just the video itself but the reaction from candidate romney which is to say that he was inelegant in what he said. chris, what is the elegant way of saying that 47% of the people in it this country are
here yesterday and mitt romney s wife ann was here a couple of days ago. both joe biden and paul ryan were here last week. i think you will see plenty more attention to wisconsin as well aces, iowa, between now and the convention. i said all along to mitt romney if he wants to win wisconsin it doesn t just stand for republican, it stands for reformer. if he shows that in wisconsin the swing voters swing his way and he can win the election. chris: letts talk about your big reform issue. you made national news the last few years with your law that you pushed and amid great opposition. nine days ago a wisconsin county judge overturned part of that law as unconstitutional when it comes to school workers and local government workers. how gig is back is that for you, governor?
going to cut taxes for people just like him and i do think it is rich and special in many ways that mitt romney had to manipulate his tax rate by not taking all of the deductions he was eligible for. something that he said awhile ago would disqualify him from being president. manipulated to raise the rate to meet the rhetoric by saying that he paid at least 13% every year. did hdeductions, if he loses is race he can go back and get. he has not been straight with the middle class people about what is going to to their taxes. chris: a little time left. i want to get quick answers from you. this week we all saw the romney 47% video. i promise i will ask governor walk better that. i want to ask you a policy question. 47% of americans now live in austan hold where they get government benefits.
