Trillion for the first time ever. both parties are talking and spending, theyre actually increasing it. we have ryan payne with us and mattie doppler. this was time when this was news. are we so numb we dont care? >> i would argue that politic n politicians are somewhat unnerved to the national debt. but that clip you played was right on. were careening towards a cliff and we dont know how to stop ourselves. in some ways, its alarming but not shocking that politicians have not started to use the...

What do you think about this guys opinion? >> well, trump said he wanted to drain the swamp by which he meant he did not want politic n politicians who care more about their own future to keep running everything. i think its inspire today bring people in whether they have been senior with the military or senior in business, the fact they are not part of the political class i think its an absolute breath of fresh air. as far as voting is concerned none of us would agree but we have to ask the que...

Politician. he went from being an astronaut to politics. he resonated like any politic n politician. talk about him there. >> i was a strategist and media consultant in his last senate race in ohio in 1992, which he won. i had gotten to know him pretty well. i knew him somewhat before that. actually, he wasnt a great politician. he was a great public servant. from the frontiers of space to the factory floors of ohio to the u.s. senate. the worst thing you could do in capturing john glenn was tel...

Governor in 190 years of florida history. >> well, let me ask you, mike, does charlie crist have the confidence of democrats, of independents, after making this move from the republican party? is it too soon for him to run? the polling, as you say, looks pretty good right now. but will they vote for this guy? will they work for him? >> he has some work to do. theres no question about it, any time you change parties like that, youve got the naysayers who say, thank you that you know -- why are yo...

However, is the fact that rand paul does as well as he does in new hampshire is also very telling, and i think its important to note that this is not really a right versus left battle within the republican party. you have many people, you have many tea party conservatives, a guy like mike lee, for example, who is saying that we actually need a party that is more responsive to the interests of working and middle class voters. so, its really not right versus left. there are folks like rand paul, f...

Just doing heightened version of what politicians have always done in both parties. one example ill never forget is bill clinton desperately trying to separate himself from his own tax policy on his way to reelection. he actually told a texas crowd at a fund raiser in 1995, quote, probably there are people in this room still mad at me at that budget because you think i raised your taxes too much. it might surprise you to know that i think i raised them too much, too. i cannot tell you how much t...
