Page 8 - Ed Shultz News Today

Welcome back to "the ed show." lets of questions. we can only pick two every night. tonight our first question is from reg, will republicans agree with president obama on anything he says tonight? hell no. if you could ask the president a question, what would you ask him? mr. president, thank you for joining me tonight. ed shultz here on msnbc. why to you support the tpp when all indications are that is a job killer for the american people and for our job market? will you explain what the upside...

Out there, scott. consumer confidence is up. home value is up 13%. the market again today is scratching 16,000. 47 months of private sector job growth. all without any bipartisanship in washington. but why is manufacturing being left. why are we not seeing the gains in manufacturing? >> that is a good question there is a couple of reasons for it. one, we really dont have a strategy to enhance the manufacturing base in the united states. one that focuses on the innovation the president was talkin...

Was going to solve his problems. and what he did was he promised cooperation and what hes done since then -- hes gone to florida to campaign for a governor who didnt want to be seen with him. now hes basically gone underground. hes not saying anything or doing anything. ed, i think his bigger worries now are whether or not he can survive his governorship more so than whether or not he can be a presidential contender. >> ive been covering his assault on the working class for years. >> tonight, we...

Look, ed, we have made progress in the last five years. five years ago we were losing 700,000 jobs a month. now were gaining some jobs. the middle class and the working class of this country is hurting. people on top are doing phenomenally well. how do the american people feel about it? they are angry and frustrated and want leadership from the white house. >> executive actions, what are your expectations of what can be accomplished that would change this dynamic? >> first thought, and i want to...

Work out? you tried to deny elizabeth warren a promotion. instead she got a much larger one. you tried to keep richard from going to work. that failed. after a year on the job, i think his solid record isnt something most mainstream politics would ever oppose outloud. in d.c., people say sometimes good politics makes bad policy. this is what i think when you look at this record. its the opposite here for the gop. clumsy politics that failed to stop some of president obamas very good policies. al...

0 those gets insurance for the first time. despite hysterical right wing rhetoric and despite threats of impeachment, 6 million americans are now receiving insurance coverage under the presidents health care law. welcome to 2014. on january 1st, coverage went into effect for 2.1 million people who enrolled in private plans through the health exchanges. it took effect for another 3.9 million covered through medicaid expansion. this is a major milestone. its a day the president looked towards when...

0 fortunate in our system. the fact that ken langone and the right-wing media feel the need to respond to the pope, i believe, means that they are very defensive and not on solid ground on the subject. they know exactly what the pope is talking about. and they shouldnt be upset because the rich, well, had a really good year in 2013. for instance, this guy, republican donor sheldon adelson, jumping to $15 billion a year. its a 16% increase in one year. its fair to say that a obama economy is work...

The moment they begin to stand up and speak out against the kind of bigotry thats here, then all of a sudden they become problem makers and are divisive against the unity of america. >> and the danger here is that the people that follow this kind of talk dont understand the division that they are creating in america and the insensisty out there. if you have enough people behind you, you have a license to influence even more people, which i think is dangerous. but mike, is this a win for the cons...

In the show. joining me tonight, congressman spirit de faz oof oregon. great to have you with us tonight. i dont think that we could have a more classic example of how the republicans are wrong when they come to the conclusion that privatization is the answer to everything. about 80% of the post offices financial losses since 2007 are due to this congressional mandate to prefund 75 years of future retiree benefits over a ten-year period. congressman, what can be done about this. whats your take ...

The only people who believe that daddy ducks oddball behavior is all spontaneous are the same people who believe that world wrestling is real. its simply a highly profitable brand, its a commodity that producers and directors help invent. and the very fact that daddy duck has made statements suggesting that gays hate god, that shindo japanese are nazis or african-americans are attending a happy lollapalooza party when they were slaves, all that is can the kind of low-life -- the low-life trash t...
