Talking about Hillary Clinton that is like asking eisenhower to run in 1976. 24 years ago, it was bill clinton. The same thing with the bushes. The mother said it best, she is the only one i liked. The biggest mistake reagan ever made was choosing george senior as the Vice President. As far as the candidates for the republicans, scott walker is not the best speaker but he is proven that he can do the job of being governor of his state. We need a governor, we do not need a Community Organizer again. I would love to see mitt romney. He would make a neck some president but he is wrong with immigration. Rick perry is the same way. He talks so tough, but it does not show it in action as far as immigration. Illegal immigration. We need to make that distinction, not immigration illegal immigration. Host thank you for the call. This is from tag who says jeb bush is polished and language that would appeal to a more diverse population. He would be the toughest competition for clinton. The question we are asking, could you like for the white house in 2016 . Caller i listen to talk radio. I endured practically 18 hours of of gop lovefest. It was on the edge of comedy. I am a Bernie Sanders man. Elizabeth warren interest me very much. I would like to know what was funny yesterday though was how speaker after speaker got up and said it is obamas recession.

Republicans actually donald trump enjoys ratings. That is what he is about. I would love to have Hillary Rodham clinton to be president of the United States.

Arnold, democrats line. Caller good morning. I love your type. Youre always gq for me. The Republican Party, they need to wake up. Im a lifelong democrat. They need to wake up. They need to lose their hatred for barack obama. They need to lose the hatred for seeing donald trump become our next president. He could have a running mate, such as i think that both of those would work together. I know that anyone in the government he would fire them and hire someone who do the job right. Host thank you for the call. This was former governor jeb bush. [video clip] i have said some stupid things in my life. I said something when i ran for governor in 1994 that was taken out of context but i should have been smart enough to have said it differently. It was in a debate. What are you going to do for me . I was young and rambunctious in 1994. I said, probably nothing. That was the wrong answer. What i said was probably nothing. What i think we need to do is create a society where everyone gets to start at the same starting line. And we strive for quality of opportunity. I believe that today. You could have a provocative thought, but you do not have to say you have to say you do not have to say it in a way that turns people off. That is the problem today. We do not work hard to use language. The bigger the idea, the more you have to use language that does not scare people or insult them. Ive gotten better at that. That is what happens when you get older and your life experience. This is what happens. This is called wisdom, i hope. It is great but there are some things we all regret im sure. Host jeb bush. That is part of our Video Library at cspan. Org. Another viewer saying dr. Carson is a fine man. Who do you like in 2016 . Bobby is joining us on the republican line. Caller i believe carson did a great job. Donald trump. Rick perry. We are so faulted so far to the left. We have to get our country, at least to the middle. We are hurting. Lack of close border. Anyone can walk in. Drug cartels are controlling our borders, especially on the mexican side. We have iran controlling we desperately need to get our country back. The method the next thing we need is another liberal. I hope that some of these good people run and i hope they win. We can we cannot see another clinton.

We will go to jeremiah from cleveland, ohio. Good morning. Caller i was listening to the caller intently. Were all being crazy. Just like ross perot, donald trump might be the only potential candidate that will not kowtow to the environment agenda, especially since you just mentioned the narrative of the heart of of the holocaust. To make that ceremonial trip. Host what he means pseudonarrative of auschwitz . Caller there is a luminous amount of material as far a census information and things of that nature. I find that the greatest scholars are actually israelis. Host what is your point . Caller the point is, this nation needs to stop kowtowing to the zionist changeup. There needs to be some honesty to bring about some of the correct narrative of that whole situation. Host what narrative do you think is wrong . Caller because we do not have a time. We always glance over the meeting of paris, versailles. We always glance over the british deal with the zionist agenda. Host im going to stop you there back. We are going to move on. Who do you like for the white house in 2016 . Caller i like Hillary Clinton. I am a democrat. I try to tell the truth all the time. They have the right to talk. They tell lies. Sometimes, you have to call out the lies and these people on television, they have been lying up and down. Continually. 90 of cspan, conservative span is about the republicans. Come on now. The republicans listen to your show. I think we should at least do not tell me that. Host i think we are fair. We covered this event yesterday because it was an all day event. We have covered many democratic advance as well. Events as well. There is no bias. We do not pinpoint thewe dont colors pinpoint the callers. You will see an array of opinions from all sides. Caller i appreciate what you are saying. Iwatch span all the time but i watched cspan all the time. Even the guests that you allow on that man is not a republican. That man is a republican hack. He is on on the shows talking about the virtues of he is on all the shows talking about the virtues of republicans. Not all republicans are good or bad. Guest host thanks for starting your day. Hope you continue to watch. Hopefully, you will hear the variety of opinions we try to do. Thank you very much. We are going to take a short break. We will continue our discussion on road to the white house 2016 with two political operatives, one from New Hampshire and one from iowa, joining us from manchester and des moines. First, from cspans newsma kers, Jeb Hensarling. The full interview is available on our website and airing at 10 00. Here is a ocean of that conversation a portion of that conversation. [video clip] youve had a bill that would wind down all support. Thats not true. I would push back. Outside of the it has a pretty big footprint in the market. Wind down fannie and freddie and not replace them. The senate had a bill that would replace them. Do you think you would be willing to move more in that direction in compromise with the Senate Version or are you planning to move forward with something similar to what you were doing last year . There is a change in management. I think that is a good thing. Really, the American People do too. I am strongly believe i have strong beliefs about where republican policy ought to go. I stand ready to advance policies for principles. Does this bill take a step in the right direction or in the wrong direction . Im always interested. Im always willing to sit down with the administration and certainly willing to sit down with my colleagues in the senate and find a way forward to a Sustainable Housing finance system. I dont often go across the pond and look at europe for ideas on public policy, but i do note there are a number of moderate, industrialized nations around the world, including in europe that have very healthy housing financed systems and have nothing remotely resembling our government backstop, fannie and freddie. It is not just theory. I have evidence you can have a successful model. Our conversation with the chair of the House Financial Services committee, Jeb Hensarling from texas. You can watch it in its entirety at 10 00 a. M. Eastern time. Host we continue our look at road to the white house 2016. Joining us from des moines iowa is Steve Scheffler with the faith and freedom forum. And Fergus Cullen. We want to begin with deep scheffler. With Steve Scheffler. A lot of attention on the events yesterday put together by congressman steve king. Whats your take away . Guest we saw a large group of people who were enthused and motivated. Ive never seen the intensity and the enthusiasm that i saw in that hall yesterday and that im seeing around the state. It is pretty exciting here in iowa. Host some are calling this the most open republican primary since 1940. Guest i think that is correct. I dont think there is any front runner here in iowa. I think the candidates have come here often and communicate with the voters oneonone and set up a good infrastructure and organization and have a fair shot. I didnt see anybodys guess as to who might come out on top in 2016 here in the caucuses. Host who was the audience at the Freedom Summit . Guest people from all over the state, activists. I would guess 99. 9 of the people will go to their caucuses. This is their first point of entry by which to gain information where a candidate fans stands, how they interact with people, their perceptions of how they might fit in to 2016. Host let me ask about the demographics of New Hampshire. Its a very different set of voters that candidates are going after from the Iowa Caucuses which tend to be more conservative. Explain the difference, if you would. Guest the primary is open to lots more voters, including independents. The iowa caucus is restricted to republicans. Independents are allowed to vote in the primary if they choose. Eventually calls dont dominate evangelicals dont dominate in New Hampshire the way they might in iowa. It is a much more. From that candidates find in New Hampshire it is much more full spectrum that candidates find in New Hampshire. Host we have a line set aside for those of you who live in New Hampshire or ohio. That number is 202 7480003. You can also join the conversation a lot of you sharing thoughts on our facebook page. Or send us a tweet. Fergus cullen, mitt romney says he is thinking about a third bid for the white house. What is your reaction . Guest there is a lot of respect for mitt romney here. There is a lot of goodwill. He has campaigned here twice before. In 2008, he received 32 of the vote. He built on that in 2012 and one the primary going away with 39 of the vote. Its a large base of people who like and respect him and wish he were president today. What are not sensing is a great deal of enthusiasm for a third bid. There is interest and respect. He has to hold onto a significant portion of the base he has established but not all of it. I think a lot of those voters will be open to considering other candidates. They are well disposed towards mitt romney. Broadly like and respected within the party. Whether there is an appetite for third bid remains be seen. Host Steve Scheffler, what about iowa voters on mitt romney . Guest people want to take a look at the candidates. Others have a reservoir of support. He will be be they will be looking a new and trying to wait each candidate they will be looking anew and trying to wegh each to weigh each candidate. Host we were live all day yesterday with the Freedom Summit. All of it is on our website, including many of the News Conferences that took place in an adjoining room. Among those speaking, senator ted cruz, the possibility of two texas politicians, ted cruz and rick perry running for president. Here is what he had to say. [video clip] i was washed out in west texas and i said, the thing about folks from epa unlike lettuce, you cant use pesticide against them. An old farmer looked at me and said wanna bet . [laughter] and the most important Regulatory Reform we could do is we need to repeal every word of obamacare. [applause] we need tax reform, and the most important tax reform we could do is we need to abolish the irs. [end video clip] host what kind of reaction did he get . Guest he got a phenomenal reaction. I think he gets the reaction he does because iowans are keen on watching what their elected officials do. They know the Obama Administration has gone way beyond its constitutional rights. There is frustration on the part of iowans and americans and they dont want to see another extension of the Obama Administration. They are really dedicated to seeing a republican elected in 2016. Host this is the headline from Bloomberg Politics on ted cruz make sure the candidates prove they are conservative. That became part of the message yesterday, as well as the miracle of america that he referred to. On the message of trying to prove the candidates are conservative, where does that with the Republican Party you go Republican Party [captioning performed by national captioning institute] the Republican Party . Guest he seems to have built his brand by saying that other mainstream conservatives are sellouts or compromisers. Im looking for a little more pregnant missing more pragmatism. A sense of awareness that he needs to get 50 of the vote nationally and not just win over audiences like that one yesterday in iowa. I havent seen that from senator cruz yet. Host what about jeb bush he told jeb bush . He gave a lengthy speech on some of the issues he would run on, including immigration and education. Guest i think the more candidates we have in iowa, the better. The with it iowa voters the way that that way, the iowa voters have a large caucus. After iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina the more that he can be here to engage with people one on one and the American People would be helpful. He needs to come here sooner than later, in my view. Host more from yesterdays speeches. Chris christie was one of the final speakers at the event. [video clip] for too long, republicans have tried to figure a few extra votes in places like ohio and florida. If our conservatism is really going to succeed, it must be able to defend itself in every art of this country. There are americans, i know this, in every state, who share our goals, who want to work with us, and we should be appealing to all of them. If we are going to restore this country and its promise, we need a coalition that covers all parts of the country, all ethnicities, a coalition comprised at its core of our proud yet underserved and underrepresented in class in this country. [end video clip] host let me ask you about how he is playing in New Hampshire. He made a number of appearances in the midterm elections for republican candidate for governor for a republican candidate for governor who lost. Guest Chris Christie spent a lot of time in New Hampshire. He did something very shrewd in New Hampshire last year. He salted operatives from his new jersey operation into the statewide campaigns of scott brown, our u. S. Senate nominee the republican governor nominee, and also at the state Republican Party. He has his own crew of operatives who have built their own roles and people they have relationships with that they can now extend on behalf of Chris Christie. He is in the sweet spot of the New Hampshire electorate. That message that you ruled take on is 1 he rolled that you rolled tape on is one that will go over well with New Hampshire voters. Host he has been to iowa 11 t
