What shes the most nervous about as a candidate. this issue of income inequality is real, this middle class anxiety is real. it is her vulnerability on the left. >> and she is not a populist in any way, shape or form. >> chris, perry, shara, thank you very much. that was fun. coming up, a political power struggle involving all three branches of government. plus providence, rhode islands ex-con, ex-mayor wants his old job back. that comes up after the break. first a look ahead at todays polit...

Except for agreeing they dont like president obama. this lawsuit, i think the way to think about it is, its not really pant the past. boehner was vague about what the lawsuit is for in part because this is more of a warning shot. the republicans are wary of more executive actions from the president, particularly on an issue like immigration, where hes already shown hes changed deportation law for young illegal immigrants. hes talked about potentially expending executive order to other immigrants...

Which is what kind of both of those camps of the gop want. so, you know, its not actually as discouraging from that per spective as you might think at first. >> what about the tension, perry, between -- theyre calling this the steadfast gop. id say its sort of the tea party. although they dont apparently identify with the tea party. but the steadfast gop on the one hand, the business gop on the other hand. you have the money on the one hand and the energy on the other hand. i think we saw this w...

Should be discouraged. the business wing disagrees. there is a 35-point gap when it comes to policy with 55% of hardened republicans saying any foreign involvement is bad news for the country. what brings them together? the dislike of the president and anything having to do with government. the party leaderships has found reasons to do as little as it can on big yishs. how far will that take the party? perry bake and ryan grim from the huffington post. perry, what we have here are numbers. numbe...

By over 40% in the second week. and shes been dogged by her comments on her personal wealth. first her husband defended her in a new interview with pbs and she says she can defend herself. listen up. >> my husband was very sweet today. but i dont need anybody to defend my record. i think my record speaks for itself. >> so does she have a problem on her hands with this? >> i think she does. the fact that we are still talking about this and not about the substance of her book is a problem for them...

I mean, really as recently as a year ago, there was some progress in the senate. but they have put this entirely off limits for their party. this used to be something that democrats and republicans worked together on, or it didnt split necessarily along party lines. the same is true for climate change. cap and trade is a republican idea, chris, that we both know of lots of northeastern and western republicans who once were for environmental measures. richard nixon signed, you know, the clean air...

Cantor and somebody from virginia. they say they want someone in leadership to represent them because right now its too much from the north and too much moderate states. thats the core of the debate between scalise from louisiana and roskam from illinois. >> with that said, perry, you know as well as i do that there was a lot of talk regarding infighting would have ultimately hurt republicans as they head into this mid-term election, theres concern that there would be battles between the tea par...

The tests -- its a national test. its not an obama administration-created standards. the standards are national in structure. their view is anything thats national means its not state or local control. and thats the core debate. >> again, its just demonizing the federal government. i mean, this, you know, originally it came out of the bush administration. it goes back to the first bush administration really. this push for national standards and this push to raise standards. some of it is actuall...

As she continues to meet the round on her book tour. clinton at the helm on 9/11, two years ago, when the attack happened. >> i took responsibility for being at the head of the state department at that time. now that doesnt mean that i made every decision, because i obviously did not. but it does mean i feel deeply and very personally about the losses that we incured. >> perry, let me start with you, sir. hillary would have been asked about benghazi no matter what. politically, what was the head...

Negative view of hillary clinton. what can she do to flip the numbers? particularly on the independent republican side? >> i dont know if shes going to be able to flip on the republican side. shes been a polarizing figure for republicans for a long time. i dont see it changing if she runs for poll. one of the interesting point of the poll she had high numbers of secretary of state. particularly before benghazi. she wasnt necessarily a political figure people viewed her a different way. the minut...
