among them governor scott walker. asked a number of questions put himself out there to a number of reporters including do you believe president obama is christian telling the "the washington post," quote i have actually never talked about it or i haven't read about that walker said his first calm and firm. i have never asked him that. you made me to ask statements about people i never had a conversation about that how can i say if i know either of you are christian. he later tweeted out enough with the media's gotcha game, we started our american revival to talk about big bold ideas. we are back with the panel. what about this and it's clearly the media is focused on walker and he is in the spotlight. >> i think that's the important context here. there was a big "the washington post" front page investigation on scott walker on supposed questions about scott walker's exits from college. there weren't actually any questions in the article. then you have the gail collins hit piece in the "new york times" editorial. made

scott walker is the winner of this anti-union derby. he's the winner among the conservative base of the republican party now. he's at 25% in first place. jeb bush is in third place. that conservative base this year may deny what's always happened in the republican party before, which is they nominate the front frontrunner frontrunner, the next person in line. they may nominate scott walker. >> it was a big day in wisconsin today. this is the scene in madison wisconsin, today. the legislature is on a fast track to make wisconsin a right to work state. >> this bill, this mess that they are bringing upon approximate state of wisconsin is nothing more than a way to legalize and divide and conquer us within our workplaces. >> john nichols, the protest looks great, but the democrats are -- they have no power right now. depending on what the governor wants to do and what the republican legislature wants to do, this is a slam dunk isn't it? >> it looks like it but we should be very clear that there are some republicans that are waiver wavering.

because they're afraid of scott walker. and they have a reason to be afraid of scott walker. because this is a guy who wins without compromising. scott walker won three elections in four years in a state -- a blue state that has not gone republican for president since ronald reagan. before that he won three elections in milwaukee county, which is the bluest of blue districts in wisconsin. and he did it while governing as an unapologetic conservative. so what he's shown is that you can win the center without moving to the center. and that is what the greatest fear of the democrats are is we put somebody up who can actually win the center without moving to the center and compromise. >> you know marc maybe i missed something. but i didn't recall your sense of indignation and outrage when glenn beck and donald trump and others were attacking president obama and spreading lies and misinformation about his college record and his college grades. it's absolutely wrong to see governor walker attacked for not finishing college. that's not the issue of this presidential campaign. but th

does this hurt scott walker? >> no. i think it's good for scott walker. first of all, i think he can pretty well kiss off the gayle collins fans vote inside the republican primary gone. that's okay. and it helps him because when the "new york times" attacks somebody, especially wrongly that is the cue, that is the signal to republican primary voters to pay attention. >> that's what made sarah palin a star. >> exactly. she wouldn't have been nearly as popular as she was if it hadn't been for the fact the establishment press gang tackled and tried to wipe her out. that told republicans you better standby this person.

captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> pelley: good evening. this is our western edition. we're beginning the broadcast tonight with a full-blown civil rights battle in alabama. today most county offices there defied a federal court order allowing same-sex marriage. many couples were turned away, some marriage license offices simply did not open. last night alabama's chief justice banned same-sex marriage licenses. his ruling also in defiance of the federal court. alabama would be the 37th state where same-sex marriage is permitted, and in some counties today, the licenses were granted. chip reid is sorting all of this out for us in montgomery. >> reporter: billy clark and kerry perez, both 26, have been waiting to get married for four years. today they did it after an alabama judge issued their license. >> it feels really good to have people recognize what we've always known to be true. >> i love you. >> reporter: last month, a federal judge struck down alabama's ban on same-sex marriage, finding it violated the u.s. constitution. that decisi

about how he was -- scott walker, he was just bored. he was uninterested bored student. and they went back and found like a fellow classmate who said he was really bored in the class that he took on politics in the third world. i mean, the guy's 19 years old. who wouldn't be bored? i just -- i don't know if it's going to backfire against the critics and nor to the benefit of some of these candidates who sound to me like real people howie. >> it's not good for the media when it looks like nitpicking. rand paul as you say is a medical doctor so he misspoke about a biology degree. >> and he also said he had an english degree which he does not. >> maybe the elites who are so proud of their alma maters are really particularly hung up on education and credentials. but i think to most voters in iowa and new hampshire this is going to seem like pretty small stuff. >> all right. let's talk a little bit about jon stewart, who has played a significant role in election seasons. a lot of these candidates like to go on there, in particular the democr

captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> pelley: this is our western edition. eight feet and climbing-- that is how much snow has piled up in new england this winter, and if it's not more than the people can stand, it is more than the roofs can. today, this one in sutton, massachusetts, gave way. that's at least 74 fallen roofs in the state this season. also on the verge of collapse, temperature records as arctic air plunges as far south as florida. the huge area in purple that you see here will have lows overnight in the single digits or less. jamie yuccas is in minneapolis. >> reporter: minneapolis' generally wild winter came to an abrupt halt.at temperatures struggled to crack zero and wind chills hit 31 below. frostbite in this cold can happen in 30 minutes or less. minnesotans tried to take it in stride. >> i really like the uniqueness it brings to the day. you never know if your car is going to start. you never know if something is going to break at your house from the cold. >> reporter: it's the same frozen story throughout the upper mid

i understand where scott walker is coming from. these are inherently gotcha questions, but it is very simple to answer. >> isn't a gotcha question hard to answer? >> there's harder gotcha questions than others but this one was pretty easy though. marco rubio showed how easy it is to do it. scott walker has turned this around in his benefit. he's fundraising off of his answer and mainly the attacks the media have made for refusing to answer this. there's a sense of degrievement that republicans have that conservatives have over the way the media treats them. maybe that was the audience that scott walker was catering to do when he did all this. >> glen, "the times" report is that walker is making a hard turn to the right to woo christians. i'm the standup governor who can make the tough calls, a fiscal conservative but now needs to weigh in on social issues. maybe that answer was to placate the base? >> it is my belief they like people like mike huckabee. when you're accusing that well known junk yard dog dan balls, everyone knows he

scott walker is about to join the big leagues. if he wants to put himself forward for a credible presidential candidate he has to answer these questions. this is sort of the third question in a pattern of behavior we've seen. he refused to answer whether or not he thinks climate change is actual and real and it's happening. and he refused to say whether he believes the president is -- loves america. these aren't difficult questions. these are just reporters asking him yes or no questions about what he believes. >> come on mark, why are they asking those questions? they want to make him look like he's a crazy -- or president obama hating you know crazy nut job. i mean, it suggests to me they think he's a credible threat for 2016 if they're going to ask him questions that don't get to real policies. >> sure. they're going to vet him and ask these tough questions because they do see him as a credible, not threat, but a credible candidate for 2016, or at least until he sort of was caught flat footed on these questions. so you know --

scott walker is running for president. and so this is the kind of thing he's going to be doing for the next year or so. he is, in fact increasingly seen as a top tier presidential candidate on the republican side. i think that is in part because conservatives nationwide, they may love the idea of destroying the university of wisconsin. i don't know. i think it's probably driven more by the fact that a lot of the other would-be top tier candidates who are supposed to be competing with scott walker right now, those other would-be top tier candidates are having trouble right out of the gate, new jersey governor chris christie has had a bad few weeks, including a bad overseas trip to london that got him a lot of bad headlines. former supporters in new jersey, including the campaign manager from the first time he ran for governor seem to be siding more with jeb bush than with him. chris christie's poll numbers at home in new jersey have absolutely tanked. conservative media buzz used to have chris christie at the top of the lis

scott mann lieutenant colonel scott mann and gideon rose, thank you very much. >> thanks. >>> speaking of this -- the recruitment process, ahead we'll talk to a manager from the west whose -- a mother from the west whose son went to join isis, was killed while he was fighting. hear why she says it is easy for militants to persuade these young people. >>> also the white house moments ago did respond to rudy giuliani, the former new york mayor insisting that president obama does not love america. it's a pretty outrageous comment that's putting it lightly, and putting some republican candidates in a tough spot. major: ok fitness class! here's our new trainer ensure active heart health. crowd: yayyyy! heart: i'm going to focus on the heart. i minimize my sodium and fat... gotta keep it lean and mean. pear: uh-oh. heart: i maximize good stuff like my potassium... and phytosterols, which may help lower cholesterol. major: i'm feeling energized already. new delicious ensure active heart health supports your heart and body, so you stay active and strong. ensure. take life in. your daughter has

scott walker gives this great speech. i mean rave reviews from inside of there. >> yeah. >> then you make a line. you say a line. you compare -- >> i mean nobody here knows what that feels like. >> we all make mistakes. we actually do understand but boy, it came out wrong so that's all people are going to be talking about. >> understand the set-up. i was there. beginning, middle of the speech he got his biggest applause line when he started talking about the unions. then a heckler came out and said don't sign this bill in wisconsin. he kept going. he's jazzed up about it. the q&a section starts. how would you handle isis. until the very end when he made this comparison. >> the fact of the matter is -- i don't think it will hurt scott walker in the long run but there was that time when the badger mascot got its head carved -- no that didn't happen it. did it? not in wisconsin. >> are you talking about bucky? the badger? >> i take that back. jeremy, you were there as well. but this fits into a narrative that might make some

and scott walker was there. >> that is right. and i think this goes to a fundamental question in our politics right now. most americans don't understand why politics is so divided. you work with people every day, as common americans, that you don't get along with. where you are having debates at work but you never attack the person who you can't reach an agreement with. and so the question is as simple as, does the president have a wife named michelle obama? does the president have two daughters? does the first lady's mother live in the house? is the president a christian? how low can you go. this is not a game. these are real legitimate issues and so i think that people are starting with baseline questions for your party because they can't get baseline simple answers. >> and i agree with that. >> but i think the other piece of it is the othering of barack obama that started during his run for president in 2007. it feels like an old game but it feels like one that there is a good reason for the republicans to keep playing and an

scott walker with mitt romney in the race. scott walker 15, paul 14 romney, 13 huckabee, 10. and ben carson at 9. we'll let you know what candidate is not in that top five. and then our friends at the des moines registrar were able to reallocate romney second choice supporters. here is what it is without romney. walk, 16, paul, 15 huckabee moves up the most with three points, to 13. carson, 10. and, oh look there is an establishment candidate, jeb bush in there at 9%. mark halperin, you were behind this poll at bloomberg and the des moines registrar. scott walker in the poll position. how about that? that's your headline. that was an oh wow, how about that? >> strong performance. now an opportunity for him, mitt romney leaves a huge vacuum in the establishment lane, scott walker as you and i discussed, plays in both lanes. he can be a grassroots activist kind of candidate but also establishment candidate. he would be smart right now to not let jeb bush and chris christie lock up the establishment donors from the romney world. he can be the winner of iowa and the second best c

scott: mr. chairman, i ask unanimous consent to ask -- to claim the time in opposition, although i'm not opposed. the chair: without objection the gentleman is recognized. mr. scott: the gentleman from texas has raised good points. the subcommittee on elementary and secondary education held a hearing on data privacy earlier this month and we will be looking at ways to improve it during this congress. that bill was written 40 years ago when data in the classroom was all in a teacher's grade book and technology was not employed anywhere close to where it is today. teachers and parents need to be able to -- parents need to be able to trust their children's personal information as secure and will not be used for marketing or noneducational purposes. teachers need to be given resources to understand how to best protect the students' data. we need to safeguard students' privacy while supporting technological innovation happening in america's schools. we must researchers diagnose achievement gaps and e
