papantonio he's an attorney and co-host of ring of fire radio mike welcome how are you a path great to have you with us this was a pretty surprising a huge issue impacting so many americans this mortgage debacle started in two thousand and six and yet we heard so little about proposed solutions to deal with the rampant foreclosures to entire neighborhoods across america why not well i think you saw an effort by by obama in eric holder to somehow convince the american public that they were paying attention to what happened it happened with this great american morning scam what we saw in september is there a cold or come forward and say listen we're going to deal with the criminals we're going to deal with the banks who did this to you now he did that because there was there was a lot of anxious about the fact that obama had been in office three and a half years eric holder a better attorney general for three years and nobody understood why nobody had been purple or nobody understood why there had not been prosecutions this was a big issue in this state because you had people that wer

papantonio thanks so much for that analysis thank you so much appreciate your insights. in the best of the rest of the news tonight kids all across the country are running around the neighborhoods dressed up in as many characters as you can imagine and knocking on every door within walking distance to collect as much cavity inducing candy as they can carry it is that what this holiday is really all about joining me now to break down the real story about this day is dr steven larsen a practicing psychotherapist psychologist professor emeritus at the state university of new york and author of ten books including the schama is a doorway open imagination to power and myth dr larson welcome. a thank you tom you know the sherman is a good place to start our conversation because if you go way back into the urgency of prehistory you find this primordial figure wearing masks and coming out of the supposed cruel darkness of the paleolithic caves and here is seen the film cave of dreams just released a few years ago you see the handiwork of the shermans interacting with the animals

guest: mike papantonio said he was a millionaire towed this week. host: we are talking with tim graham. he is responsible for media analysis and researching and writing regular reports on the news. previously, he was the white house correspondent for a national christian news magazine, and he is the author of the book "pattern of deception: the media's role in the clinton presidency," which critiques media coverage of bill clinton from 1991 to 1995. back to the phones. bob from louisiana, you are on the "washington journal." go ahead. caller: good morning. well, there definitely is media bias. there is no doubt about it. because they are always asking romney for his records, his -- guest: tax returns. caller: income tax returns. but nobody ever asks obama about his civil records, his college records, his social security records, his -- everything. nobody ever asks him about that. and also, they never ask about his eligibility to be the president. now, i know that you are going to shut me off. there is no doubt about that. even c-span is biased -- ve

christopher broac this, and mike papantonio, thank you. >> thank you governor. >> eliot: what does paul ryan and mitt romney the chill of peppermint. the rich dark chocolate. york peppermint pattie get the sensation. it's like chicken and crunchy stuff got married! i only use french's french fried onions on my crunchy onion chicken because it's america's number one brand. just minutes to make, then bake! >> eliot: which of yesterday's primaries turned into a tea party. these coming up. but first, mitt romney's foreign experience and congressman elect paul ryan's freudian slip. and a visit from the good humor man. when it doesn't fit anywhere else we put it in the view finder. >> do you see these guys, mitt romney and paul ryan they look like father and son dentists. >> are these men ready for the international stage? do they have what it takes to pretend other countries don't exist? >> let's assume that governor romney does have foreign experience. he gets these issues very well, and probably better than the president. >> when iran destabilizes the middle east, mitt will step in and dem

papantonio attorney and host of ring of fire radio with robert kennedy jr mike welcome tom how are you just great and it was great to see in seattle last week and by the way i want to play somebody program it was want to play something congress congresswoman carolyn mccarthy said last week and listen to this. i always look at it this way no one from the n.r.a. is ever going to vote for me and they're just not they might even come after me on other issues but the thing of it is as a politician a lot of politicians know it's the right thing to try to fight for something to save lives they don't have a spine anymore the pander to who's giving the money secretary to the gun lobby outspent gun control groups seventeen to one on lobbying last year is the congresswoman right. well she is right for a lot of reasons first of all i don't know if you saw the report by paul wald when paul waldman really deconstructed this idea that the n.r.a. is such an effective political entity as far as affecting elections what he did was he looked at the margin of victory he looked at money spent he looked at

joining me now is mike papantonio, cohost of "ring of fire radio." thanks for being here, mike. >> how are you? >> i'm fine. let me cut to the chase. who do you think leaked the story? >> i think it's scalia. i put scalia at the top of the leak possibility. there's a good reason for that. in 200 years, the supreme court has this history of showing a betterç decorum than we saw fr scalia. when have we ever seen a supreme court judge in a black robe act more like a politician than he does a judge? we saw this -- we saw scalia the day after this decision come out and basically accuse our president of being incompetent. he accused our president of not being able to understand the law. even though obama was a constitutional law professor at harvard. so i think this is a new precedent. we've never seen a judge move politically like this. >> and he did it in his writings. but this is all speculation. we don't know. this is just your guess. let me ask you whether scalia or some others are tweeting other members of the court, why would someone be talking at

mike papantonio, national trial lawyers president and ring of fire host, thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you. >> ari stay with me as we talk strategy with a democratic strategist and former chief of staff, senator john manchun. the message that came out from james carville not surprising it was james. he is never one who hesitates to give advice. he said to the white house, it is time to reboot your campaign. you are not making an argument that is resonating with the middle classes. show some empathy. show that you understand things are bad and we need to turn the corner. how has the white house responded to this? >> my guess is probably not -- they are probably open to suggestionstion but i am not sure they are going to shift their strategy based on a carville memo. you know, i read the memo. it has, i think, some interesting thoughts. the maybe problem i have with it is this motionnotion that somehow the president can ignore, you know his record over the last four years and convince voters he deserves another four years. i don't think that is possible. if you look at the hist

mike papantonio, thank you. we're taking a flash poll right now. does scott walker's win in wisconsin mean mitt romney can win the 2012 presidential election? all right. please go to "the kudlow report" page on facebook and see the results. coming up, bill clinton has it right about the economy. that's my take. president obama has it wrong. why the house has to stop backtracking and face facts. and stocks love the scott walker win. wall street had its best day of the year after republicans win wisconsin. coincidence? i think not. why i think it's a sign of things to come for investors. don't forget, folks. free market capitalism, the best path to prosperity. a pretty strong dose of the last night in wisconsin. i'm kudlow. we'll be right back. >>> now that bulls are back in town, for a day, all three indices surged well over 2% today. blue chips back in positive territory for the year. stocks love scott walker's landslide victory in wisconsin. spanked public-sector unions and the democrats why do they love it? a growth message and stocks love growth

papantonio, let me start with you. you have been involved in the litigation in florida. what is going on there. what is rick scott trying to do? and will he get away with it? >> i think the most important thing is if you are a supervise of e elections in florida right now, you have some things to confront. the u.s. justice department has told you if you are a supervisor of e elections that what you are doing by purging these rolls is illegal and to stop it immediately. >> that's the first thing you have to confront second of all, your own attorney, the very people you have hired as general counsel to advise you statewide as to whether or not you are going to do this on is legal or not, he has told you to stop immediately. he said that for a couple of reasons. first of all, you are not complying with the law as it's written in the voters' rights act. you haven't gotten prior permission to engage in this purge, and more importantly, more importantly, governor, you have a situation where you are 90 days out. that area that you have to do this has passed. >> right. >> so wit

let's go back to mike papantonio. you've been critical of eric holder. he definitely stepped in the purging of what governor scott is doing down in florida. what is your take? >> he needed to, ed. the reason he reacted for vet reason that you stated in your opening statement on this -- in this show. that is we've shined light. you have shined light on it. rachael madow has shined light. eric holder has a great avenue open to him. he can start pulling the triggers now. he has to right now. look, scott has been told from the very outset, he's been told by his own secretary of state that, what we're doing is potentially illegal. we should not do it. >> hold it right there. that's what i want to bring up. why doesn't the justice department, if he's violating the voting rights act, why doesn't the justice department bring governor rick scott up on charges? >> they can. there is a lot of things they can do. the first thing that they can do is join this effort to try to stop this purge. they can do that immediately. one thing that scott didn't do and his own se

mike papantonio, the question is about how this ipo was marketed. were there categories of investors? >> well, there were. there were the haves and the have nots. there were the mom and pop investors who have to count on this for their golden years in retirement. this is not the first time that this story has been told. since 2003 you might remember wall street made a pledge. the pledge was, yes, we've been engaged in criminal conduct. and thank you for not throwing us in jail. in exchange we'll make a pledge to you. the pledge is we'll be self-policing. we're going to change the way we do business. that was in 2003. now we see the biggest ipo in decades take place and it's simply business as usual. it's two different world john. one more the insiders, the country club of wall street, where they make decisions behind closed doors. in this situation understand the broker analyst the morgan stanley analyst said, look there is no guesswork here. i can tell you that this ipo is overrated. you put too much money on this ipo in value. the only people who

i'm joined tonight by attorney mike papantonio, also host of the "ring of fire" radio show. mike, sort this out for us. what's at the crux of all of this? the interpretation of this law? >> well, it is. as a prosecutor, this -- zimmerman could be charged with premeditated murder, ed. there's no need for a grand jury. the grand jury is simply a way for the state attorney's office to cop out and to pass the buck on this one. premeditated murder, a plan to commit premeditated murder can take place in three to five minutes. it can be formulated in that short a time. the elements of premeditation certainly exist here. the child was running away, there was no question about it. he was running away from the point of conflict. the shooter had been clearly warned, don't pursue, we'll take care of it. let the professionals take care of it. and rather than the shooter having a reasonable fear of harm, and those are the key words, a reasonable fear of harm for himself, it's clear that there was abundant evidence that zimmerman was acting out of rage about this african-american child in

let's turn to eric boehlert, also mike papantonio, host of the "ring of fire" radio show. good to have you with us. eric, limbaugh put fox news in a tough spot, maybe not now that bill o'reilly came out in' denies of limbaugh and attack on sandra fluke. why are so quiet about something that has been so offensive and universe s rejected? >> they will do opposition research and look in her past. they are all on the same pain. we are righting a right wing media nervous breakdown today. they have completely lost any sort of moral compass. this has been going on three days. nine hours. three days of rush limbaugh's show he denigrated a college student. fox news and rush are on the same page, part of the hate machine and hate movement, they will back him up. a couple people on the so-called sirius fox show did criticize but the opinion shows doubled down and attacked the victim. >> mike papantonio, one of the finest attorneys in america, does she have a case here at all? >> you need more facts on this one, ed. -- there are issues that could be raised. would it stand past a summa
