Strong there would have been hundreds of thousands of jobs lost across the country. mr. hendry, good to have you with us tonight. we have we ve will quite a battle with the white house in recent days about the professional left. i would say that this is a pretty good story to start off on to go in a different direction. wouldn t you think? this is what they ought to be talking about. you know, ed, i thinkç that was labeled one of the professional left earlier this week but you know, i love being on this show. i m going to push back a little bit on your accolade for gm. we should take pride as a nation that the bailout did produce the profits that you describe but we ve got to be real honest what s going to happen here over the next decade. there will be more jobs created in mexico by the big three automobile manufacturers than will be created here in the united states. so these profits are important. but we didn t put we didn t putney quid with the quo so to
Passing the stimulus, unemployment wouldn t get above 8% and it s now at 9.5. i don t think carl is trying to say that george bush left the economy in a perfect situation but he s also saying trying to blame him as opposed to what are you going to do as a democratic party to change the situation is the point i think he s trying to get at. he says in this fall s contest the gop has a stronghold on the banner of change. republican candidates can strengthen that claim by emphasizing a positive agenda of reform, fiscal restraint and economic growth while beating up democrats for their miserable two years of economic stewardship. there are some successes. one is general motors. the stimulus has saved jobs. haven t the republicans gotten in the way of getting money to small businesses? what about that? i m obviously going to disagree with you on a whole bunch of that. i know you re stunned by that, ed. i mean, i think to some degree, one, there is a group within the republican party who
At this juncture? try to get a commitment or where is the loyalty? i think secretary good nightner let the nation down when he just gave them money and didn t demand that they create u.s. jobs. again, i like the fact that we saved a bunch of them. but we need to find, ed, 22 million jobs to put this nation back at full employment. we need our big manufacturers to be stable and growing here in the united states. and gm and chrysler made no such commitment when they took our money. mr. hinderry, you do great work. i love reading your stuff on huffington post. it s always a privilege to be here. coming up, dan quayle s son is ripping on president obama and threatened to knock the hell out of washington? okay. we ll knock him right into the zone. next, serious looking dude. p win drain the energy right out of you. p win fight it with (new) bayer am. it combines extra strength bayer aspirin to treat pain plus an alertness aid to help you get off to a running start. try bayer am -

Conditions than this nation s prisons. that s what i went to bed thinking last night and i woke this up morning thinking we ve got to do something about this problem in this country. my heart broke. i grew up in public housing. it was a tough life. i was able with a lot of the support to build a better life to, find a way out of that circumstance. but a lot of these people don t have that support and to have other people around this country thumb their noses at them and treat them and put those images on the news we saw yesterday was just heartbreaking. i thought i was in another country, ed. ron mott reporting from atlanta tonight. thanks so much for meping our program out tonight. coming up, tea party queen michele bachmann says that patience of the american people has worn thin and that the solution to our problems is to make it the tea party agenda mainstream? we re going to rip into that one in the playbook. the white house finally tees off on the tanman. tool bad they re figh
Democrats aren t much better. they passed the border milltirization law today and brought everybody back for that which does nothing to address the problem. the problem at the border is not immigration, ed. the problem at the border is the mexican drug cartels. americans consume $113 billion worth of marijuana every year and half comes from overseas. that money is going to the mexican drug cartels and that s what s causing the violence at the borders. that s why former have i sent ta fox came out and said look, you policy. it is destabilizing mexico. felipe calderon called for the beginning of this discussion on legalizing marijuana in the united states. where is the leadership on that? it has nothing to do with immigrantses trying to come over the border to wash dishes. do you think the united states should legalize marijuana to pacify the situation with the law breaking going on in mexico? whether he we had prohibition during the earlier part of the
decision on hold for one weekç still unless another court intervenes, gay marriage will be california law as of 5:00 p.m. next wednesday. we ll get into the details and the preliminary implications at the top of the show. plus, the forgotten war is quickly becoming remembered and not in a good way. our new nbc news wall street journal poll shows a significant drop in support for the effort and a huge increases in pessimism about the outcome of that war. nbc s david gregory is on the grounds with general david petraeus in kabul and joins us on the administration s attempts to resell this war to america one more time. also, is it good politics for democrats to bash former president bush heading into this fall s elections? republicans are warning them not to, even democrats are warning the administration not to do it. we ve reached back into the archives and found examples of republicans running against jimmy carter for more than a decade right till it stopped working. how s
Raising the retirement age to 70 and voting to end unemployment benefits, priceless. for those who want an out of touch pro golfer for a congressman, there s john boehner. for everyone else, there s justin coussoule. it takes a guy out of the beltway who wants to serve this country to really tell the american people what they re actually doing inside the beltway. i don t think i ve ever seen an ad more effective and more spot on. here we are talking about ethics issues when we should be talking about a jobs bill which of course, boehner was against. but the reality is look, i don t know if that s going to help mr. coo sully knock off john boehner come election day. frankly, i m still looking for a district anywhere in the country where somebody is going to be hurt because charlie rangel is trying to get his day in court as far as congress is concerned. he serves up material because nancy pelosi said we re going to drain the swamp. right now, it looks like charlie rangel is part o
