When it struck midnight. >> how far do you think republicans can make that talking point? how much can that be a talking point in the coming days? >> reporter: i think republicans are going to try to win the pr war. i think ashley brings up a good point. when i was walking around the capitol, theres a real sense of nervousness of republicans. theyre not sure how this is going to play out. theyre hoping the president will shoulder some of the blame. but theyre not sure thats going to happen. righ...

Low level employee thats gone rogue or whatever? not so much. now we know that were digging deeper and this does have ties to the white house. now im not saying that the white house is doing it. im just saying that its not a lot higher than we knew before when they came out and said its a low level employee thats gone rogue. >> what do we really know? do we know that something wrong was done here and dont we know for sure that it was both conservative and liberal groups even if what i just said,...

. and charles payne, adam lashinsky, charlie gasperino. >> a small fraction thinks were headed in the right direction. a pox on both houses and lack of leadership and ive got to tell you the sequestration thing has taken it to a whole other level. the president has to understand he cant offer a compromise and say if you dont step it were not compromising. a compromise is give and take on both sides. fanning the flames of fear on this thing is not only disingenuous was harmful. the president can ...

Hollens, indeed, quite a few republicans might vote for it. in fact, it might pass. but then john boehners majority might turn on him and he might lose the speakership. so its unclear whether the house republican majority can be led at this point. it is clear that boehner isnt doing a very good job of leading it. >> so who wins the pr war that is taking place right now? i know thats the last thing american people want to hear. but thats all these guys care about right now. >> well, polling has b...

Congressional democrats in those tight races right now. >> theres also a lot of lobbying going on right now. you have this national day of action trying to tap into the obama grass roots organization and then on the other side, susan, you have the nra and theyre apparently close to making a full list of recommendations for school safety, although they already have told "usa today" about some best practices including having armed officers in schools. is this a pr war? how much of it is a pr war? ...

Believe that the nra is losing the pr war. and yet all the opinion polls and surveys show that a significant chunk of americans support the nra. and when you attack them, if anything, that support goes up. and so i completely agree. focusing on the issues and focusing on a specific piece of legislation, were often trying to attack an entire cultural group and way of life is just a complete no-brainer. >> wait. the nra is not a way of life. and its not representative of most gun owners. its not r...

Celebrities and sports figures who found themselves in trouble and these guys in the unique situation, fighting not only a legal war, but a pr war. >> correct. >> megyn: if he has any hopes of making amends to the american people who believe, most of them, as the u.s. anti-doping agency concluded after the comprehensive investigation and after all of his teammates ratted him out, that he is a doper and has been lying to us. how can he ever make amends without confessing to it? >> he may not be a...
