Derail your nomination. To the business of regulating political speech. Im going to go ahead and thank the senate now for what im sure will be a speedy confirmation process. This new paradigm has been bet attested. One of the oldest definitions of insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over again. Continuing to do the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. A little dejavu. Thats shocking. Time to turn things around. Dejavu all over again. Guess whose back good to have you with us tonight, folks. Thanks for watching. There he is. Canadian senator ted cruz of texas. Now there seems to be a great deal of angst within the liberal Community Across america that were just giving this guy too much publicity. Were talking about him too much. Folks, i offer to you tonight, if youre a good lefty out there, we cant talk about this guy enough. Hes the gift that keeps on giving. He is americas biggest heckler from the stands. Which is perfect. And, of course, over the weekend, it was the love fest in iowa. The speech he gave on friday night. The media love fest is on. Did you know that he didnt even use a teleprompter . Did you know that he went back and forth across the stage for 20 minutes, without any notes to say what he was thinking . This is what is impressing the media. Its not solutionbased. Hes not that good. But he is a good strategist. You see, because he is going after the conviction crowd. Thats who he has to win over to keep this cruz machine rolling along. Heres ted cruzs base. First of all, lets start with the people that hate obama care. Well, hes got them down pretty good. How about those 144 members in congress that voted to default. Well, theyre all with ted cruz too. And then, of course, theres the basic tea Party Supporter out there. I think hes got rand paul beat. I think he, out of the box, if you had a choice, the tea partiers would take this guy. The conservative media, right wing talkers. They cant get enough of this guy. They want him because they love his conviction. They love the fact that he wont back down. That he cant stand obama. And, of course, obama haters a big part of this at the top. But then there is the religious right. You see, republicans love cruz so much, he was actually compared to jesus during a prayer in iowa on friday night. Lord, we also thank you for senator ted cruz here tonight. It just seems like that were lacking, especially on the conservative right, those leaders willing to take a stand and are willing to let the arrows come in the back of their head. And basically be crucified for their belief system. Arrows in the back of the head . Cruise filed . Who on the left is doing that . All were doing is talking about is policy, how screwed up they are. How he cares about profit and not people. Now, a short time later, cruz came out and said that the shutdown, which, of course, behind closed doors, hes taking credit for, you know, orchestrating. He says it elevated the national debate. Ill tell you what it did. It shook the hell out of a lot of people internationally about just who america is. And there is no doubt that the fringe celebrity of ted cruz, its on a roll, its on the rise. In iowa over the weekend, laying down the foundation for 2016, he did what all these guys have got to do. They have got to go hunting. The harvard snob joined steve king, congressman from iowa, for his annual pheasant hunt. On saturday the two got dressed up in their finest hunting gear and proceeded to hunt with a gaggle of reporters. Of course, they were following every move. What is this . I dont care if its a side by side, or an over and under. You dont hold the gun over your shoulder, okay . You hold it down and break it down. Thats just hunting etiquette for people around you so you dont shoot anybody. Thats just kind of how it is. But look at this entourage. Youve got walkers out there trying to get the birds up. Is that a hunt . No, thats just cornering the birds, is what it is. Its called harvest time. Its not really hunting. Not as i see it. And ive been doing it for 35 years. It looked more like a photo op than a pheasant hunt. Then something very unusual happened. The subject of dick cheneys hunting accident came up. Heres ted cruz, and congressman steve king. Early morning conversation. Over coffee. Making excuses for dick cheney shooting his friend in the face. According to them, it happens. Yeah, look, it happens. Its just part of it, and risk is a factor. Now, if cruz and king are really good friends, why in the world would they be talking about dick cheneys hunting accident . Ted cruz can go to iowa, pose for the cameras all he wants, with a shotgun, hold it wrong, pretend hes a regular guy, normal guy. But you know what, dont let him fool you. Hes not the normal dude that he wants you to believe he is. He doesnt care about average americans. And the fallacy in his whole push to win over the conviction crowd, anybody else who pays attention to this, knows that all along hes been going after president obama, and obama care. Not once has he stepped up and given a solution to the 50 million americans who dont have health care. Another thing that catches my attention is that over 10 of americas Largest Companies pay zero percent tax rate. I would like to know where the big target shooter stands on that. Does he think thats fair for average americans . That 10 percent of meramericas Largest Companies pay zero percent . Never answers those kinds of questions because the conservative media protects those folks. Cruz cares about protecting his big money corporate interests, and hes always at work. He wants those folks to put him in office. And you know what, as of late, there is no better example than his most recent stunt. Pay attention, folks. Ted cruz is blocking president obamas nominee for chairman of the federal communications commission. Now, the president has nominated ex tell com industry lobbyist tom wheeler. Good guy. Wants him to head up the fcc. Now, of course, there are five seats on the federal communications commission, and three of them are vacant. And, of course, theyre looking for some good democrats, because thats how it works when you have a democratic president. Wheeler is a democrat, and republicans are worried that he might, wait a minute, enforce provisions of the disclose act . Well, we cant have that. The disclose act is a failed bill that would require independent groups to disclose names of contributors who give more than 10,000 to independent groups for use and Political Campaigns. If those provisions are enforced, the secrecy behind Citizens United would be very much out in the open. The federal Elections Commission would have records of how much money super pacs and corporations spend on Political Campaigns. The bigmoney corporate interests, ooh, we dont want anything to do with this. Hell no. Democrats support the bill. Theyre in support of the bill. As a way to bring transparency to the political funding for republicans, this is all about keeping Citizens United alive, and, of course, the money in the dark, in the closet, nobody knows where its dom p coming from and well trash anybody we want. They want to keep the unlimited funds going to attack obama care. And wants them, of course, hidden out of the public eye. Cruz is blocking the fcc chairman. This is all about republicans controlling the airwaves in the message. And senator cruz wants tom wheeler to give guarantees that nothing is going to change. And he is a senator with a power that will block this guy, and, of course, were going to go into 2014 without the fcc, no deals are going to get approved. Ironically, its going hurt a lot of right wing companies, but, of course, ted cruz doesnt care. He is trying to prove that he is the man of conviction. And part of being the man of conviction is to stopping someone who might stand in the way of free speech, and we certainly cant have that. Now, he may be pheasant hunting down in iowa. And not doing it the correct way. But the fact of the matter is, youve got to give him credit. He is always working around the edges to make sure that his pace is going to be protected. Get your cell phones out, i want to know what you think. Tonights question. What does ted cruz care more about, money or people . Text a for money. Text b for people. To 67622. Leave a comment on our blog at ed. Msnbc. Com. Results coming up later on in the program. For more, let me bring in senator Bernie Sanders of vermont, who has been very critical of dart money advocating, of course, for workers all of the time. But also very concerned about communications in this country. Senator, why is ted cruz blocking the nomination of tom wheeler . How do you see this as part of his plan, and just gumming this all up . What does it mean . Ed, you know, what senator cruz is talking about is an issue of huge, huge consequence. At the end of the day, these guys have gotten Citizens United, and that means that the Koch Brothers and sheldon althsson and all of these guys can spend hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars on Political Campaigns without any disclosure. They want to go further. What they want to do is to make sure that individuals will be able to spend as much money as they want on campaigns, giving money to individuals, without any disclosure whatsoever. So ultimately, what they are about is creating a Campaign Finance system where billionaires can spend unlimited sums of money on campaigns and candidates electing the people they want. That is not, in my view, a democracy. That is called oligarchy where a nation is run by a handful of billionair billionaires. Now what senator cruz is here talking about, he is really outraged by the fact that the fcc is supporting a rule where it says that if you are putting ads on television in the 50 largest media markets in this country, that theyre going to put that information on their website, so that the American People will know who is, in fact, funding these ads. In my view, we should see that not only in the 50 largest markets, but all over this country. Not only on television, but on radio. But bottom line here, is what senator cruz and his friends want is a Campaign System where a few billionaires can spend unlimited sums of money without any disclosure at all. That is what they want. And we have got not only to defeat that. We need the alternative, which is overturning Citizens United, and which is moving forward toward public funding of elections. Senator, there is a domino effect to all of this. And i think the protection of the big three, medicare, medicaid and social security, plays right into this. Cruz wants to give these guys a super highway, a pathway to vilifying everything that we have when it comes to earned benefit programs. This, of course, is going to enam enamor him even further with the conviction crowd. And ill tell you, it really is a brilliant strategy, because nobody else who would think the chairman of the fcc would play right into somebodys Political Campaign . You but its very clear what cruz is doing. Are you concerned on the Budget Committee this is what youre going to be running into . Look, absolutely. These very same people who are making huge contributions. And were talking about hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. These are exactly the same people that are leading the effort to cut social security, cut medicare, cut medicaid, to give huge tax breaks to the wealthiest people in this country. All of that stuff is related. That is the right wing extremist agenda. And campaign financing, the ability of billionaires to buy elections, is at the very top of their list. In terms of what they want to accomplish. Yeah. Senator, on the other hand, with cruz gaining in notoriety, popularity and with the fringe right, does it make the democrats job a little bit easier making the case to america about what are our priorities . Well, the answer is yes and no, ed. In one sense, obviously, he is such an extremist that once you talk about his agenda, it becomes easy to defeat him. But on the other, what he and others have managed to do is move the Democratic Party further to the right. You and i have talked about this a million times. You have a number democrats now talking about lets cut social security. The president of the United States is now talking about that. So its a mixed bag. Yes, he can be defeated. But on the other, he is helping to move the country to the right. We need a strong, progressive agenda, which talks about the america that we want, which is a very different one than senator cruz is talking about. Senator Bernie Sanders, good to have you with us tonight on the ed show. Appreciate your time so much. Thank you, sir. Thank you.

Time now for the trenders, social media, this is where you can find us, facebook, twitter and msnbc. Com. Leave a comment there. This is where you can find me on the radio, monday through friday, noon to 3 00 on channel 127, sirius xm. Ed show social media. Here are tonights top trenders, voted on by you. God bless america the number three trender. Big hit. Land that i love a former navy officer knocked it out of the park with his rendition of god bless america. God bless america my Home Sweet Home the number two trender. Clintons callout. When president george w. Bush, a republican, put that Medicare Part d drug program in, they had terrible problems with the computers. Must be an on button somewhere. Instead of bashing and screaming about how incompetent they were. Lets not lose our cool. Tried to help people understand the law and make it work. The former president blasts republican i had log. Putting people first, as opposed to some abstract philosophy. And todays top trender. Glitch mob. Millions of americans are visiting healthcare. Gov. Unfortunately, the site was only designed to handle six users at a time. Its very frustrating. It is certainly not what we wanted to be. When you become a parody on saturday night live, its awful hard to recover. I. T. , can we get someone from i. T. In here . Rightys target Kathleen Sebelius for healthcare. Govs poor health. The website was supposed to be the easy part. She has lost considerable credibility. Absolutely, she should resign. This is a woman that has to be fired. Youre fired. And at the end of the day, somebody has to be held responsible. And the secretary, who is in charge of this implementation, is that person. How we gonna fix it joining me tonight is congressman javier bess sarra of california. Congressman, good to have you with us tonight. I guess the witch hunt continues this week against the secretary. But, of course, you said last week that someone should be held accountable for these website issues. Should it be Kathleen Sebelius . El with, ed, i think we have a long ways to go before we can say it goes to the top. We certainly want to get the website fixed, but we shouldnt fix ate on the website and thats unfortunately what i think my republican colleagues have begun to do is fix ate on the website. We have to Work Together to make it work well. We want americans to get covered. The most important thing about the Affordable Care act isnt a website. Its that millions of americans will finally have an opportunity to get Quality Health care. And thats what we should really focus on. So absolutely, we should hold people accountable. But right now were trying to determine who should be accountable. Any time you take taxpayer money and taxpayers have paid for this, you should be held accountable. So those private contractors who took taxpayer money to do the work, those Health Personnel who are working on this for the different government agencies, we have to figure out who should be held accountable. And by the way, congress, supposed to do its job of oversight, should be held accountable, as well. She is going to be testifying before the house energy and Commerce Committee this week. Is this anything more than a republican witch hunt, comparing, as president former president clinton was talking about down in newport news yesterday, about the parallels between Medicare Part d in the Bush Administration, their issues and, of course, the issues with the website right now and its lack of functionality in many parts. Well, it doesnt take a Rocket Scientist to understand that when youve got someone that has put up more than 40 votes, trying to eliminate a program, that all of a sudden theyre not going to come see jesus and say they want to make it work well. At the same time, many of these republicans who are talking about their concerns about the website, were not raising any concerns back in 2006 when the Bush Administration tried to launch that Medicare Part d program. They never once call for secretary lovett to resign when he was the secretary of hhs under george bush. They never asked anyone to resign. And so it does begin to smell a l bit. Lets do this, ed. Lets just focus on making this work. Well, can you make it work . I mean, are you confident by the end of november, as predicted, that all of these problems are going to be worked out . I know the president has said that. By the end of november theyll have these problems worked out. I trust the president. Would not say that unless he felt very confident they would. They have to. We didnt do this major reform, pass this Historic Health security law so it wouldnt work. There is a guy in los angeles who has been quoted up and down the press, 34 years of age, andrew striker. He saved 6,000. He waited three hours to get on the website and finally be able to apply. But once he did apply, he saved 6,000. You dont want to wait three hours, but you do want to save 6,000. So lets say the website is all fixed the end of november. And we go into the first part of the year. Would you still go along with the possibility of any kind of delay . I know theres some senator manchin from West Virginia over in the senate side is saying he wants to delay it a year. Your thoughts on any delay any part of the program. I dont want to delay andrew striker getting his Health Insurance policy that lets him save 6,000. I dont want to delay for any of the constituents i have in my district and in my district i have more uninsured americans than any other congressional district, except one. And so i dont want to delay any of this, because we need to move it forward. What we want to do is make sure everything is working right. So people can quickly find out what they can qualify for, and start taking advantage of having the same kind of health care that you and i have. Congressman, what about the money to get this right . You know, tom harkin told me last week that the proper resources were not there from appropriations from the getgo on this. That this wasnt resourced properly. So how is it going to get resourced properly between now and fixit time . Well, and ed, think of it this way. Most americans wouldnt understand whats gone into the website. Most of us didnt have to work all of the details out. Its pretty complicated. But they can understand this. When on october 1st, republicans shut down the government for 16 days, and on the same october 1st, the health the Health Marketplace is launched, it sure makes it tough to move forward efficiently when the government is essentially shut down. 800,000 americans who go to work every day for the federal government couldnt can go to work. And so all of a sudden youre trying to launch your very sophisticated, very expansive marketplaces and websites at a time when the federal government is saying, whoa, you cant go to work today. So that makes it tough. We have to make sure the resources are there. Republicans have continued to want to have this autopilot cutting across the board without knowing if its a good program or bad program theyre cutting. So it does make it very, very difficult. And thats why i keep saying, we should be working together to make this work right. So i guess fix it. I guess in street terms, democratic credibility on the Health Care Law right now is in the hands of the computer geeks. Well were going to now, ed, we all have responsibility to make this thing work. And so i think we all have to work with those who are on the ground, day to day, making the website work. Remember, theres more than a website. You could phone call, you could go in and talk to some of these navigators who help you counselors help you go through the process. Its not just a website. But the website, obviously, is the easiest route, should be the easiest route, we have to make it work right. All right, congressman javier bess aira, appreciate your time. I think its nothing but a witch hunt on the secretary. Not one person is responsible for this. I appreciate it so much. Its halloween. Yes, pretty close to it. Still ahead, conservative utopia, new developments in the detroit bankruptcy case. Plus, Chris Christie is shacking it up. Thats not a witch thats an insult but next im taking your questions.

May i read something . Yes, please. Of course. A rich, never bitter taste cup after cup. Net weight 340 grams. [ sighs ] [ chuckles ] [ announcer ] always rich, never bitter. Gevalia. Welcome back to the ed show. Love hearing from our viewers. I get these questions 30 seconds before i go on the air in our ask ed live segment. First question comes from oris h who wants to know why is the gop so against teachers and education. Well, two reasons. Number one, obviously, theyre against unions. But unions in education always fight for resources of the class realm. They always negotiate for more resources in the classroom. That, of course, is more money to school districts, da, da, da, da. That, of course, is what republicans a conservatives dont want to spend more money doing. They think that Public Education right now gets way too much money. So why is the gop so against teachers and education . The second thing is unions. Its the voting block. Its normally democratic. And they are after every organized group in the country when it comes to breaking down, you know, the voting block, and using all the social networking and everything else, and the demonstrations and the protesting and the voices that teachers can gather. And so thats why the republicans are against it. Our next question is from donald r. With everything happening in America Today in washington, where would you start to put america back on the road to recovery . The treasury. And fair taxation. We just had a comment in the first block tonight that 10 of americans Largest Companies have a zero tax rate. Do you think thats fair . Corporate profits through the roof . Its been a pretty good run in the obama years in the recovery and what not. And we have a tax system that is not fair. Weve got companies parking money offshore, and not paying their fair share. That would be a great place to start. Because sales solves a lot of problems in business. And if youve got more money in the treasury. And ive got a call on the ro radio show today. Guy said ed, the thing that really concerns me about you democrats and you liberals, all you want to do is raise taxes and get more money out of the wealthy, all youre going to do is spend it. Wait a minute. President obama has given the sequesterer numbers a chance. Remember, july and august of 2011 when boehner came out and said i got 99 of what i wanted . We have taken, the liberals, the numbers from the conservatives when it comes to sequestration. We have reduced federal spending. We have reduced the deficit in half. So this idea that if we get more money to the treasury from the wealthiest americans and all the democrats are going to do is go out and spend it, there is no record of that under the obama years. Stick around. Rapid Response Panel coming up. Im Jackie Deangelis with your cnbc market wrap. A mixed day for stocks. The dow losing 1 one point. The s p gaining two.

The latest Washington Post abc news poll the gop with a 32 favorability rating, now theyre searching for a scapegoat. When in doubt, blame d. C. , louisiana governor bobby jindal did just that on fox news sunday. We as a party cant just be a party of no. The only place you see conservative principles being applied today are in State Capitols and local government, whether school choice, cutting taxes, taking on public pensions, whether its lowering the unemployment rate, growing the private sector. Again, here in louisiana, were setting records for the number of people working. But youre seeing that in 30 states askrcross the country an thats why we need to show voters conservative principles work and to see them working, you dont need to look further than our State Capitols. Hold it right there. Hes just spitting this stuff out. 30 states are showing job growth under conservative republican governors . Were going to be back tomorrow night on that one. I dont know about that. Jindal isnt the only republican governor attempting to distance himself from the mess created by his colleagues in washington. Just look at this latest commercial released by the republicans governors association. The hardest part about my job is washington, d. C. What i know is, im not going to let washington slow us down. The fraegs frustration that i have with federal government, they put the wind in our face rather than the wind at our back. Too much politics, too little real public service. Its not happening in our nations capitol. Americas comeback without a doubt is happening here in the states. The americas strength is coming from the bottom up not from the top down. And in that regard, the states are so important. Republican governors are driving americas comeback. The republican governors are driving americas comeback. Republican governors are going to drive americas comeback. And its republican governors who are attacking voices in the workplace, just thought i would throw that in there. Lets be clear. What these governors are pushing isnt different from the policies of the republicans in washington, d. C. They also want to attack Public Education, attack Public Workers, slash the social safety net, and cut can taxes for the wealthiest americans. The only thing new coming out of this campaign is if you want to see these conservative principles applied, not just talked about, look to republican governors, which is exactly what progressives should be doing as we head into the 2014 elections. Parade magazine contributor Connie Schultz and ej dionne of the Washington Post. Great to have you with us. Everybody loves to run against washington, which apparently republican governors are trying to pull this off. Cony, john kasich is trying to talk about how to bring back america when he was a loser. Yes, he was. It was sb5 and he went after Public Workers tried to strip them of their right to collectively bargain. Overwhelmingly defeated at the polls. And lets talk about the auto rescue, definitely federal legislation. It put countless auto workers i dont know the numbers off the tip of my tongue. In lordstown went to three shifts to produce the chevy cru cruze, which i drive, and affected the entire supply chain to automakers. You know, clarence, the one thing is, there is no difference between what these radical governors ahave done at the legislative level at their state and what the tea party is trying to do in washington. Are the people going to make the connection and buy it . Well, its not totally different. John kasich, significant to note, went past his republican legislature, bypassed them, in order to participate in the Medicaid Expansion under obama care, even though hes opposed to obama care. He knows where his bread is buttered. Thats free money to the state, you could say, from the feds. Most of the republican governors have turned it down. But kasich recognizes that the state needs that money. The mental hospitals, poor people, as he said, of all races, creeds, et cetera, need it. Hes not going to turn it down. Unlike some of the governors who are, you know, much more of i a ideologues about this. Kasich taking a different approach. Interesting, going off workers, turns around and takes the medicatiid expansion of oba care. The rest of these guys, ej dionne, when you look at republican polling right now, you could call it the shutdown hangover, whatever. But its pretty clear, this is a major Reclamation Project for these guys, if they dont distance themselves from washington. Well, thats exactly right. And i think there are two interesting things about that ad. One is, theyre talking about americas comeback. What theyre not saying is, president obama is driving the country into the ground. Which is the message that comes out of washington. So they want to say all of this is because of republican governors. But there is an implicit message there that were on a better track than we were before. The second is, this is clearly an effort to distance themselves, as much as possible from what the republicans have just done in congress. They have looked at the same numbers that we all have looked at. The shutdown was very unpopular. And it affected the republican brand all over the country. So this ad is offense, but really its a defensive ad to try to get them as far away from here from the Republican Party here as possible. And im anxious to see how Many Republican governors who are up for reelection are trying to get into the State Capitol are going to bring ted cruz over for a Backyard Barbecue and say, hey, i think just like you do. Well see. Can i say something, ed . Yes. I was at a bill clintons event with terry mccaulive yesterday in dale city, virginia. And what was really strike something mccaulive has made ted cruz a central part of his speech. He was out there campaigning for ken cuccinelli. Andterry mccaulive is saying why didnt he disassociate himself from him . Why didnt he have him out here. Virginia has a lot of government employees. So cruz is a real problem for cuccinelli in virginia. Interesting. One week from tomorrow. Latebreaking news today. A federal judge has ruled the abortion restrictions passed by the Texas Legislature in july are unconstitutional, and will not take effect as planned on tuesday. The judge said the regulations violated the rights of abortion doctors to do what they think is best for their patients, and would reasonably restrict a womans access to abortion clinics. The proposed restrictions were among the toughest in the nation, and gained National Attention after wendy davis highprofile filibuster. Governor rick perry vows to fight the ruling. Connie, whats your reaction to this . What is the the political how damaging is this to the conservative movement . Well, its particularly interesting, one of the p provision attention struck down because it would have prohibited doctors who do not have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital to perform abortions. Texas isnt the only place where abortion clinics are having visiting doctors to perform these procedures. Totally unnecessary restriction. I find it encouraging news, because we have a lot of the same stuff going on in ohio right now. Which governor kasich, by the way, refused to veto. He could have vetoed. It was rolled into the budget bill here, as you know. And lets keep in mind what governor perry said. Weeks, perhaps months ago. He wanted to make abortion a thing of the past. A legal abortion, which is still the law of the land in this country. He wants to make it a thing of the past. And thats whats driving all of these efforts in texas. Clarence page, what does this do for wendy davis campaign. She wants to be governor. Well, i think from what we have seen, like in the 2012 election, this kind of an issue now mobilizes women in particular, and not to mention, a lot of other folks who are very disturbed by the notion of the ability of women to have control over their own bodies, is really under serious threat right now. So i think its its going to probably help her fundraising. At the same time, governor rick perry does everything he can to try to push back, busy van gel californias have a very important part of his constituency. No doubt.

This is the story for the folks who take a shower after work. Deciding to send detroit through bankruptcy took a sharp turn today. Workers want accountability from snyder and theyre putting him on the stand. Rick snyder became the first to testify under oath on his rush to gut detroit. Snyder announced the push for the largest Public Sector bankruptcy on record back in july. This is a last resort. Its something i would have preferred to avoid. This is the way to solve the problem. This is about 60 years of decline. Not being realistic and not solving the problem of detroits major issues. So in bankruptcy, thats the focus. Snyders last resort excuse is paper thin as i see it. It robbings the city of resources for years. Meanwhile conservatives waited by the sideline salivating over it. And now the practice is getting the grilling it deserves. Im joined tonight by a man who was at the courthouse today supporting the people of detroit. Lee gatis. Good to have you with us tonight. Everybody gets their day in court. Will there be justice served for these retirees . Because theyre along with neighborhoods being shortchanged if the governor gets his way. Where are we at this hour . Well, were looking at detroit against the backdrop of a mayor we just sent to jail but then we have a governor doing the exact same thing. Weve got rick snyder who hired kevin orr while he still worked at the Bankruptcy Law firm for wall street. Then hes surprised that kevin orr put detroit into bankruptcy. And hired his law firm after he became emergency manager of detroit to then handle that same bankruptcy. If that isnt nepotism and cronism, i dont know what is. Then to add insult to injury, kevin orr wants to put barkleys ahead of who worked their entire lives for that pension money and were expecting it at the end of their retirement. Hopefully the city of detroit will have its day in court, the citizens will have their dare in court and hear this has been his plan all along. He never planned on being fair to the citizens. Governor snyder tried his hardest to stay out of the court invoking executive privilege, but it wasnt enough. How important is the people of detroit hear the governor testify . I think its very important we get the governor on record and that the lawyers get to ask him some very hard questions that he cant weasel out of the way he does with local reporters. Is he going to be asked about what you just said . What you just talked about with orr and bankruptcy and the law firm . Well, it has to lead to that. Again, we just put a man in jail for doing the exact same thing that snyder is now doing. We put a man in jail for cronism, for no big contracts to his friends. And this is the exact same thing that orr and snyder are doing with jones day and with the banks. Theyre putting their clients who are wall street bankers ahead of the citizens and residents of detroit. So were asked to pay the bill for their corporate welfare that theyre getting. So what would be a fair decision here . What would be the perfect decision on the part of detroit residents and retirees . A fair decision is detroit should not be in bankruptcy. We should restructure our debt. The bank should be asked to pay for the damage theyve done to this city. Thats what would be fair. Lee gatis, great to have you with us tonight. We will follow the story. Weve been following this since summer
