Unskilled workers dont deserve health insurance, it hurts. when i hear someone say, dont take this personal, it hurts. >> reporter: 2,300 shareholders, who some benefit from federal farm payments and sugar protections, have decided 40 grand a year for these workers with health care is too much. so where does that leave you? >> i guess i dont have an answer for that, ed. >> ive worked there for 24 years. its a slap in the face. >> youre lost for words on what youre going through? >> i do okay. >>...

The key demo category the two are just about tied. anyway, to the amusement of some, cooper addressed the situation on the air. >> just for reference, lets take a look at some of the other people who made gqs 25 least influential list. there is paul riser. princess beatrice the guy who predicted the rapture was going to happen this year and tila tequila. i wasnt going to say anything about mr. schultzs odd outburst about me. because this is probably the kind of thing ed schultz lives for. when y...

>> i think you put your finger right on it, which is this was not just an isolated statement. this is a statement that now has been presented when trump was appearing with the birther in chief, donald trump, who demanded the birth certificate of the first african-american president but never made those kind of complaints about white presidents. i think donald trumps very sorry record on race is well known. the narrow appeal he has in the republican party is based on being willing to go that far....

The remaining 1% is undecided. so a guy who has dropped dramatically, the guy that picks it up, is going to be newt gingrich. i dont know what we can make of that at that point. what does it tell us about the republican field at this point that they really dont have many standards when it comes to their candidates or holding any of their standards? i mean, have we seen the free market of politics really win out here? >> you know, ed, i think its all really very fluid. ive been saying for weeks t...

I think donald trumps very sorry record on race is well known. the narrow appeal he has in the republican party is based on being willing to go that far. this is a guy who said famously the president should, quote, get off the basketball court and focus on the economy. so these arent even very coded attacks. trump doing it in that way at this appearance says a lot. the other thing ill say briefly is, im really glad youre spotlighting the way newt gingrich thinks about policy. even take race out ...
