really sure what will come from this. tom, real quickly, secretary of state, we believe the announcement will come this week. what information are you getting as to where this might be leading? well, we have the top four picks in play right now. mitt romney, rudy giuliani, bob corker and david petraeus. you know, there s a lot up in the air right now. you know, you have to look back at this fall of the taiwanese president that just happened and you have to think, boy, that s a really important pick right there. how would giuliani advise on the call comes in. what would giuliani tell the president as opposed to mitt romney? it goes to show the importance of that pick? i mean, it s a huge, huge spot right there. he had dinner trump had dinner again with romney last week. it s clear there s a ton of interest there, but whether or not it s enough to get over those concerns from the conservative base. so, you know, it s hugely important. it s a very good point you make, how would an
glenn beck found out that levis are made in china, he started a company to make american jeans, which i think is kind of cool. i also wanted to add to this, though, this is something that me and glenn beck and i probably agree on, i said this during the break, i also think shooting guns is fun. i have i grew up in texas. my grandfather had guns. my father has guns. i go to rifle ranges. it is fun to do. i get why people want to protect that right. i think i shouldn t be able to get those guns easily. i thought this was building up to i voted for romney last year. let s get another sampling. sahil, confess, what is your unpopular my unpopular opinion is i think congress needs more nonreligious people. atheists, agnostics, call them what you want to, they re 20% of america and not a single member of congress openly identifies as atheist, agnostic or nonbeliever. i think that s sad.
look at paul ryan, talk about charity. don t go the charity model which they actually think will work. aggregate of charity was $5 billion that went to food banks. s.n.a.p. program is $80 billion. if you cut $40 billion, no charity in the world i did a lot of charitable events, no way to make up for that. absolutely no way. how do you effect change on capitol hill to get stuff done. what s the strategy. i think shaming is part of it. feel like your constituents care, indignant, behavior and legislation on the floor now is not sufficient to meet america s needs. the nine poorest states voted for romney last year. i think once they understand they have to vote for their own economic issues and their own health and welfare around some issues we may start changing people over and they will vote differently. in the context of moral values. it s a moral value those red state voters vote for their values ahead of what s my
street friends. we should point out that cohen supported romney last year. and held fundraisers at his house. this is if you re christie and looking at this, shows a certain devil may care bull in a china shop. hours earlier, cohen just cut the deal. he basically had his firm plead guilty to fraud, insider trading, closed it down, signed a $1.2 billion check. hours later getting a call from the governor-elect of new jersey saying, hey, pal, come by, let s sill great and is reluctant and he said, get off your rear end did he use the word rear end or the it was said to me that could add insult to injury. you don t speak that way. i speak the queen s english. we both do. grope new jersey, too. fine. all right. thank you very much, my friend.
i will support any republican. he s lecturing washington that it s got to be more like trenton, new jersey. anybody knows about trenton, you don t want washington like trenton. what bothers me more and i m with you. if i was in new jersey i would have voted for chris christie. of course. he s trashing rand. trashing cruz. i didn t hear him call president obama a liar on health care. he gives him a bear hug before the election with romney last year. i think christie in addition to wanting to run up some huge victory for himself so he has a special election to replace frank lautenberg a month before his election. so as i say lonigan was closing in on booker. a lot was coming out we didn t know. lonigan did incredibly well in new jersey. if it was held at the same time
