Senator chuck hagel right now being questioned by senator mccain, ed schultz here in studio with me. this is really fascinating to watch because it seems as if chuck hagel is still being crucified for republican on republican crime dating back to 07. >> well, this all goes into the big theme of international intervention. john mccain and lindsey graham believed united states should be involved anywhere in the world that serves our best interests whether it does the country we would be in or not....

His fellow republicans he deserves the job. right now there are several who are publicly on the record saying that they are not in support of hagel and about hatch of those are on this committee. very critical for hagel to perform well today and to convince senators that he will represent the presidents point of view and that they could be comfortable with him leading the pentagon. thomas? >> kelly odonnell reporting for us from d.c. joining us here in studio ed schultz, host of "the ed show."...

Registration edge. instead, mcconnell might turn out to be the latest republican whose willingness to compromise was deemed unacceptable by a relatively small but passionate cadre of primary voters. the gop would be better served by embracing leaders with a sensible streak, or fighting for a system of more open primaries. thats "hardball" for now. thank you for being with us.

0 we reported the other night that when the folks at organizing for action put out their very first e-mail solicitation on a policy issue, they picked gun reform as the issue. they urged those millions of voters on their contact list to call their member of congress immediately, and to tell their member of congress to back the presidents proposal on gun reform. and this call your congressman right now e-mail went out at 4:26 p.m. on a friday afternoon, on a friday afternoon specifically when nei...

0 announced a new political strategy, or at least a new political tactic to try to get this done. the 2012 obama/biden reelection campaign would morph itself into an advocacy group, a powerful democratic grassroots activism machine. the old campaign would transfer to this new group its vast database of information about obama supporters, about voters. and then the new group would mobilize supporters to mobilize the presidents agenda now, the same way they supported him all the way into the white...

0 group, if you go looking for organizing for action online, so you get online and you type into your browser, say, "organizingforaction.net", if you type that into your browser what you find is you land on the nra home page. you get redirected to the national rifle association, to the opposite side of the gun reform argument. and that is because organizing for action failed to register their own natural domain names when they launched. the website tech president noticed this on monday. organizi...

>> ed, i want people to go to underneaththehood.org, the committee. weve set up a website so you can learn more about what has taken place. because workers in mississippi, they are citizens of this country, they are humans, and they should be treated as such. >> okay. thank you so much. appreciate youre time tonight. >> thank you. coming up, hillary clinton held her final town hall today, addressing rumors of a 2016 presidential bid and the future of women in leadership. ill bring you those co...

I think its unfair and unfathomable that a company from outside of the united states come to mississippi and treat workers as unamerican. it is unfortunate that we can sit here today in the state that has a long history of exploiting workers for cheap labor to allow an international company to exploit our workers. we will not stand for it. as clergy, we will not stand for it as naacp, and we willstan stand with the workers. >> okay. its a story to follow. i know that danny glover is involved in ...
