extending jobless benefits only extends joblessness. it did no good. i am not saying people decided to take money, it took away the incentive. isn t that common sense? at some point didn t obama have to say to himself, this is how it works. it is not going to inspire the guy get off the couch and go find a job, it will do the opposite. the biology comes in, greg, where a lion will not go after the fastest, strongest animal. it will go after the slowest, waterest one. if the slowest, weakest one is a welfare check, i m taking it. it depends on how competitive the lion is. some are different than others. i think i am moving on. we are talking about lions. who cares about that? i i don t. the camera should be on me, not them. they are talking nonsense. you have to learn how to do this show. i am losing all patience. they are still talking. do they know who we are? coming up, are the poor the solution to our energy
psychiatry, patrick kennedy is cofounder for the one mind for research campaign. congressman in rhode island. your uncle, president kennedy originally said let s go to the moon. and let s return a man safely before the decade is out. people at that point didn t think we had the science to do that. we didn t. because he get a goal we got about doing the science. we are saying that we need to go to inner space not outer space on the 50th anniversary of his famous speech and let s do it for the veteran. for your son who i understand is graduating from west point. we need to know what our soldiers are fashion, and the signature wound of this war is traumatic brain injury. jon: so many soldiers come back with post-traumatic stress disorder, that kind ever thing. we just don t know that much about it. it was a big issue after the iraq war but so much of it is a mystery the cause of it. jon, war is an incredibly
very harsh towards paul ryan, who is very well regarded, well respected, towards his plan, not toward ryan himself but towards his budget plan, and i don t think it was a great day in terms of nut gingrich s presidential campaign launch. and that s why he s explaining it more fully today. you know, the voters will decide whether or not disqualifying in terms of the views that were stated by speaker gingrich on meet the press on sunday, but i would agree that it wasn t probably his best day in terms of trying to launch a new campaign, and people will be watching closely to see how he tries to position himself in the wake of the those remarks going forward. jenna: and it will be interesting to watch. we have 30 seconds here. there s been a lot made of the tea party, a lot made on women, conservatives, on being a driving force behind the republicans. only ten seconds here. what group do you think is the most sought after graduate for the republican party? i think tea party voters
and the fact that i willing to work with the republicans. republicans were so high profile, they so stole all of the political thunder in washington. in 1994 and 1995. that the president at the time had to fend off questions about why no one was paying attention to him. they were only paying attention to newt gingrich. i mean, awesome for newt gingrich and the republicans, right? for a while at least, i m sure they thought it was. and that is probably what caused the great republican overreach of 1995. republicans shut down the government. republicans threw up a budget that among other things cut the bejesus out of medicare. president clinton said no, and the government shut down for six days in november, and then again for three weeks over christmas that year. and when america got shook up and annoyed by a standoff in congress shutting down the whole government, america frankly had someone to blame. the shutdown came, you know, from the kind of standoff happening with congress, even
