race against either senator hillary clinton or senator bernie sanders. so those are two of the things i ll be looking for. and rick perry, former texas governor running some national ads trying to make that cut to get in to the debate. trying to make the top ten. that s right. in the last few days, rick perry who is going to be our guest on state of the union has been really coming out against donald trump very forcefully. calling it trumpism, which he says is a kind of demagoguery. calling it a cancer on the republican party. so we ll talk to him about his war of words with donald trump. we ll talk to him about immigration. and jobs. isis. we ll talk to him about the shooting in lafayette, louisiana. all of that coming up on state of the union. big show. big show. jake, thank you very much. are we going to have state of the cartoonion as well? yes, we ve got a good one, dr. seuss themed this week because of the new dr. seuss book that was released. looking forward to it,
i do think that she might go after voters that rick santorum has been going after, some of the independent, blue collar voters and a lot of her maximum wage, guaranteed salary rhetoric might resonate with people who have been at a hard time financing basic lives. we have bob beckel sat there in the chair yesterday saying that hillary is not running. maybe he s right. what is she doing? others have said she probably won t run. she s out there getting beat up. she must enjoy just for the fun of it. you bring up a good point. so far i ve heard three good ones from you. all right. you didn t like my rapping. your rapping, well is that what you were doing? you re not familiar with jay z? you mean vanilla ice. but i know a little bit. it s like a broken dr. seuss book. no. we love you. this is what they do on imus.

about ted cruz s 21-hour speech. yes. 21 hours. and during ted cruz s 21-hour anti-obama care speech, he read a dr. seuss book. he said it is what he like tots read in the hospital when they are wasting our resources. and the group that actively persuaded congress to do what they could to defend obama care, the head of the tea party. welcome, amy. i don t know if you heard john avalon say on the air, that he said that extremists are running the government, and by that he means the tea party extremists. how do you respond? i have to disagree, because there is nothing extreme about it. the house democrats voted to delay the employer and individual mandate, and the house is the most direct form of
