Thanks for watching. Hardball starts right now. Blood in the water. Lets play hardball. Sproeb struggling to defend his Ebola Response. And all the sweet 16ers are in the water. Christie, jeb and romney are attacking him with gusto with their eye on the poll and the noses sniffing the scent of human blood. Heres the president whacking back. When i hear people talking about american leadership, and then, promoting policy thats would avoid leadership and have us running in the opposite
direction, and hiding under the covers, it makes me a little frustrated. Were at our best when we are standing up and taking responsibility, even when it requires us making sacrifices. Especially when it requires us making sacrifices. Thats you, christie kroiflt thats personal. The battle is over. How to best protect the country against a mysterious and deadly horror . Obama wants to stop ebola at its source. That it better to fight 30th than here. I want america to understand. The truth is that until we stop this outbreak in west africa, we may continue to see individual cases in america in the weeks and months ahead. Because thats the nature of todays world. We cant seal ourselves off. We are likely to see a possible
case elsewhere outside of these countries. Thats true whether or not you document a travel ban, whether or not you adopt a quarantine. It is the nature of diseases. As long as ebola exists in the world no, one can promise there wont be any more case in america or any place else. Governor christie wants to tussle with the president. At time he appears to be challenging groucho marx, offering to fight any man in the house for a dollar. Jeb bush clearly actionling for a piece of the action. At an event in vanderbilt last night, he said ebola obamas Ebola Response looked very incompetent to begin with, and that fueled fears that may not be justified. And now you have sfats are legitimately acting on their concerns, creating a lot more confusion than is necessary. Howard fineman, and ron reagan,
an msnbc contributor. I want to start with this. Lets look at christie who is incapable of passing up a chance to take a shot at president obama. This is christie today defending his quarantine idea. I think folks should understand. Part of the sacrifice is going there when you come home, Health Care Worker directly exposed to the virus are now members have to be quarantined. Qulong theyll give us sevenminute lectures. Just get to work. Christie was also showing he would throw a punch at just about anybody in the room. I want to show you this tape. Here he is going after a bystander talking about something completely different. Lets watch it. Somebody like you doesnt know a dam thing about what youre talking about except to
stand up and show up when the cameras are here. Ive been here when the cameras werent here and did the work. So im glad you had your day to show on. Were the ones here to actually do the work. So turn around, get your 15 minutes of fame and then maybe take your jacket off, roll up your sleeves and do something for the people of the state. You want to have the conversation later . Im happy to have it, bud yifrl sit down and shut up. Thats an unusual way to audition for president of the United States. It is one kind of commanderinchief. Like groucho marx said. I will fight any man in the house for a dollar. Lets go. This may play well in hoboken. I suppose it does. He got a few cheers there. But you dont want that kind of guy sitting in the oval Office Behind the desk. This does no good for Chris Christie to be seen as a sort of bully and a guy had a cant let
this go. You want to put down a heckler. You do it with one line and move on. You dont spend five minutes challenging him to go out into the parking lot and mix it up with you. What is the matter with this guy . This is the sort of behavior that jeb bush can take advantage of and has taken advantage of already in positioning himself as an opponent. He is a milder version. You do hear good thing about Frank Sinatra but any guy can get in a fight with him in the mens room. Just make a crack and youre fighting against both these guys. There is the managers category for 2016 among the republicans. Not the. Theyre trying tow show how they can be a better manager. In christies case in
particular, he wants to pick a fight with president obama. The big knock on him within the Republican Party are all those walks along the beach that he took with barack obama. So thats kind of whats going on here. And i agree with ron. I forgot that he was ebola. Now politically thats what he is among iowa right wingers. Thats whats going on here. And i think it is fascinating that jeb bush is now pretty firmly in the mix here. There has been a change inneding about that. It seems like he is in. Mitt romney may be back in. They wont let Chris Christie take managers role. Especially when he acts like that on the streets of new jersey. Were talking show business. Youve had an experience in that as a dancer. In all seriousness, this looks like a bunch of auditions. You want a tough guy . Im from jersey. I can take this guy. You have that guy. Then the mild mannered bush
saying theres a milder way to do this, a much more yankee way to do this. Then ill make you money, buddy. Isnt it interesting to watch this using the president as their audition material . Their casting director . Basically the republican mat form is we dont like obama. So you cant be seen walking with him, shaking hands with him, god for bid you hug him. Howard is right. Would you have to teams on the republican side. The establishment or the managers, and then youve got your Tea Party Types like ted cruz. The most important thing jeb bush has to do is win the race among manager types. The Establishment Republicans are usually the ones at the end of the day that win. So he has to be the guy, the smart republicans will vote for. Not mitt romney. Weve already seen him. He didnt work out. And not Chris Christie because as he hot head and you dont
want him in the oval office. Time reasonable guy. Im the guy who is sane. Pick me and ill run and defeat ted cruz in the primaries or whoever it might be. Well, heres jeb bush at a vanderbilt event. He spoke about anthrax scare. We gave people a sense of calm and that was the plan. We spoke complain spoken english. We were totally engaged. He is trying differentiate himself both from the president and from Chris Christie. I agree with ron. By the way, there is a money thing behind this. S. In the managers category, the wise guys are looking for somebody to back. With jeb in it, it is a real contest to see who the establishment money people will go for. I think there are two other categories. The libertarian tea partiers,
the rand paul kind. Then the more religious cultural ted cruz and the others. They havent taken on the skins yet. Theyre waiting out there. The geronimo types. Heres mitt romney offering himself as the handson ceo early today on morning joe, actually ripped president obama. He ripped the cdc, the centers for Disease Control and he sided with the quarantine notions. The president has been i think, as charlie said, the spectator in chief. Rather than the commanderinchief as it comes to the v. A. Or the irs or the implementation have obamacare or the cdc with regard to putting in place the protocols for ebola. You actually saw it with andrew cuomo and Chris Christie. Andrew cuomo is saying there needs to be a 21day quarantine
in somebodys house. Do you agree that position . I think it is a very difficult call. Im on the side of better safe than sorry. What do you think about that . Your thoughts. Im sorry. He didnt really answer the question about the 21day quarantine, did he . He sort of liked the idea but wouldnt really commit to it at the same time. This is mitt romneys thing. Republicans have seen it before. I guess they liked him enough to nominate him last time. Did you like him blowing a kiss to the hard right . Reading from the book of krautheimer. According to the latest it is a statement of, im no moderate. As ron says, he wants to
dinner shat himself from Chris Christie who im sure he is implying, this hot head who doesnt know the fine points. You dont commit right away. You want to see the details before you commit to quarantine or not. I thought that was significant. Hes trying to show that he is the thoughtful, detail guy compared with the other. Calling christie a hot head is like throwing a basketball at a barn door. Youre going to hit it on any given day. Thank you. Theres something about the east coast aspect of governor christie. Im sure the fellow from, where is he from now . What state is he from . Utah . A great campaign, a great bumper sticker, sit down and shut up. None of your business none of your business that could be a big one, too. Thank you. Up next, the fire next time. If the republicans get the
senate, watch out, a pack of them are toward yell geronimo. Theyre not wasting time with nice at thises. Theyre out for the president , out to kill.

If republican dozen win the senate, it could well be next week thax be out to bully the president if they get the power. Theyll try again to kill obamacare. And forget immigration reform. Theyll want higher border fences. And along the way theyll try to humiliate their own party. Plus at least three senators with an eye on the white house. Rand paul, ted cruz, marco
rubio. Theyll be trying to prove themselves when they get control. You have cruz reveling and will now doubt be at it again. And hell be admin sterling to loyalty test. Out stumping in kansas, he previewed again. A year ago last week when i was standing on the senate floor, filibustering on obamacare, pat roberts was one of a handful of senators who came down and stood by my side and said, obamacare is a disaster and we got to stop it. How would you like the listen to that voice for eight years . Actually partisan subpoena power. You dont need the other side to agree. Out on the other side, rand paul has his sights set on Hillary Clinton. The president says, you
didnt build it. It just sort of happened. Hillary clinton comes up and she says, business dont create jobs. Anybody hear think businesses dont create jobs . I imagine that was a Business Group he was talking. To jay newton small is washingtons correspondent for time magazine. And the senior political reporter for nbc news. As we scope out beyond next tuesday, will he just suggest that they have a better than even chance to grab the six necessary pickup seats. And it looks like that may be enough. They dont have to worry about offsets in georgia or kentucky. There will be some surprises. What do you think these people will be up to when theyre all chairman of committees . The first, you have Mitch Mcconnell saying as majority leader, he will reopen in the process. Allow all kinds of amendments. And theres a reason why harry reid closed the process, because republicans had the amendment thats were heart to take. Mitch mcconnell has six members up in 20 scheen are up in blue states. Democrats will start putting in all these amendments that will embarrass them and they will run tv commercials off them. It will be a total free for all. Theres no way he can order pup process and protect the members at the same time. Add into that, you have oversight of the president that theyll be doing. Confirmation of judges that theyll be talking about. Confirmation of cabinet officials, potentially a Supreme Court justice. Then you have these sorts of people running for plays will be doing their own amendments and their own bills. This is question, before you do that. Isnt the goal to show how much you hate obama . Just outhate obama . Anything that shows your hatred. To try to undermine for the nth time. The only thing every member in the senate agrees upon, youre talking about a senate that is hugely diverse. Very moderates like Susan Collins in maine. Eastern conservatives line Jeff Sessions in alabama. The only thing they agree is they want to repeal obamacare. It will be a lot of fun attacking obama. The kids in the back of the curve. Daddy, when are we getting there . Im hungry. Shes hitting me. Shes on my side. You can act like an idiot. Dont forget the whole country will be saying, are we there yet . My question is, do you want this behavior the next two years or a conscious effort to show you can grow up. You can cut a deal, move ahead with some kind of growth policies and show you to cut
taxes or youre better off going crazy. Kevin mccarthy said almost that. We need to govern and show were responsible so we can win the presidency. He is saying the key question is, marco rubio, are they listening at all . Why doesnt he run for president. May not whale, House Majority leader, they are trying leave. They show no inclintonation to fall into line. There are republicans on long island. He said i know this. If we captured the house, and approve we can govern, there wont be a republican degrees 2016. Does that make sense . The house will be even more ungovernable. Because a lot of people will be further conservative. A lot of them are chairman. Members of the old bulls who helped train new incomers. They were the moderates who compromised the made deals. Theyre all retiring. 25 retirements total but 18 of those seats have been filled by hard red republican whos want to burn down Republican Party as much as the democratic party. Harry truman, the republicans from 1946 when they grabbed back the house, they were crazy. All they did was hold hearings, investigations. They said they opened with a prayer and closed with a probe. Thats all they did and truman walked back into the white house. Nothing but the crazy party. The party that attacks, attacks, attacks. Does that make it easy for hilary if she runs . I do. There is a big moment coming up. Obama said reform by executive order. You imagine . Well have lawsuits, attacks. Do you think it is a smart
move to do a big executive order . Sure. I think she do it because hes been saying it a long time. He should go ahead and do it. That will rip the scab off. It really is. If he wants to govern. He mate as well forget any details. This is the argument i hear from people on the left. When people like boehner cant deal. Theyre useless. Mitch mcconnell wants to destroy guy. Do the big stuff. Have them hate you. On fox and everywhere else. Live with it. At least youll have a fan club with hispanics. You will say good. It is almost better if for republicans for 2016, if they dont win the senate right now. If they win the senate right now, Mitch Mcconnell will have to deliver something. He just i thought i made the point. The geronimos dont want to have
a record. They want to go at them. Thats his problem. How does he deliver anything . When a huge portion of his conference. Mitch mcconnell just thank you 2 million of his own money into his race. Obviously it is close. Why does he want to be a senator the next two years in to undercut obama . To be the troll under the bridge . To what purpose . To be whats boehners purpose . I dont know that he has a huge Public Policy goal. I think they think obamacare is a really bad program. So not the honor of the job but the nasty potential of it. To do something they dont like. It a lot of our viewers do too. Up next, well have to go live to colorado right now. A key state Battle Ground where
jeb bush is hitting the campaign trail in what may be a dry run for 2016. Were going to colorado. I got. Oh my froot loops [sniffs] lets do this .
