Transcripts For MSNBCW The Reid Report 20141030 : vimarsana.

An engine gets lost . Terribly. It has some Automated Systems in it. You have to understand, a turbo prop aircraft actually has jet engines on the wings with giant fourbladed propellers. Those propellers create tremendous wind, obviously, that go over the wings and add to the normal lift of the wing. When you lose one of those engines, you have tremendous lift on one wing, no lift on the other or very little. And the aircraft wants to turn into the dead engine and roll into the dead engine. Right. You have to compensate with that with the rudder pedals and the control wheel. However, its 850 horsepower in each engine. It takes a lot for a pilot to react so quickly on takeoff. So this aircraft is fully computerized and has auto rudder boost. So the rudder automatically pushes in on the side of the good engine to keep the plane from rolling over. Right. It also has something called auto feather, which is another computerized system which takes the propeller blades on the fail engine and turns them into the wind so that theres less drag. This is supposed to help the pilot bring the aircraft around and land it safely. Now, once safely taken off, you should be able to control this aircraft reasonably simply and be able to land it. So my understanding is that they actually crashed into the building during the landing phase. That only means one thing. They got below the air speed for a singleengine operation. Very bad. So probably pilot error . It could be. Yeah. Well, tony roman, thank you for your expertise, appreciate it. Thank you. Okay. And lets now go to the debate over the ebola related quarantine for Health Care Officials back from west africa. And the increasingly fraught case of nurse hickox who fought the quarantine by going on a bike ride. Trailed by a state trooper and a lot of media. Stephanie gosk joins me live from kent, maine. So stephanie, this was actually a really bizarre scene. This young woman decided to go out of her house and take a bike ride with her boyfriend and about 40 members o the press and a state trooper. Reporter it was bizarre. One of the things we asked her, why did she do it . And she said, well, we normally go on bike rides. We woke up and decided to go on a bike ride. It was anything but normal. The two got up this morning around 9 00 and left. Followed by a state trooper and a swarm of media hoping for comment from her. When they returned, we caught up with them and she had this to say. Did they stop you . They did not, no. Is it worth all this . It is worth it. We said we want to go for a bike ride. Do you do this often . We do. Reporter so bike ride kind of in the form of protest. An interesting statement recently released by the governor of maine saying that after lengthy negotiations, theyve not reached any agreement. The governor in his statement goes on to say that the state of maine wants to comply with cdc guidelines for people that are categorized as having some risk. Among the activities they say would be okay within those guidelines are a bike ride. So at this point, the governors saying they have not negotiated any kind of deal. He did not mention, however, this court order that a lot of people have been talking about. Health officials here in this state also yesterday saying they were going to seek a court order to compel her legally to stay inside her house. That hasnt happened either. Joy . All right, stephanie gosk. Thank you. Appreciate it. In ft. Kent, maine. Sometimes this business is strange, indeed. Lets go to the white house now where days before the midterm elections, were getting new details on the president s plan to move forward on Immigration Reform without help from congress. Ron allen joins us live now from the white house with more. Ron, what does the president plan to do . Well, joy, were getting insight into the thinking of the president and what his key considerations are when it comes to Immigration Reform. And who will get legal protections. And as we understand it, hes considering a minimum amount of time in the country. And also considering carefully that persons ties to other people in the country. For example, what will happen to the parents of u. S. Born citizen children. There are tens of thousands of them here in this country. What will happen to the parents of the socalled dreamers who were children brought into this country illegally and have been here. Who are married to u. S. Citizens. We know those are some of the considerations, but what we dont know is how they will break down. And this, of course, affects some 11 Million People or more and great concern to the immigrant community and the advocates who know these numbers could shrink down to as many as 1 million or 2 million as to who is protected and more importantly who is not deported. This has been a big issue for the Obama Administration who his critics, of course, have called the deporter in chief because more than 2 Million People have been deported in the last six years of this administration. Thats a huge sore point for the community. None of this settled before the midterms, delayed because of the midterms and decided as a result of the outcome of the midterms depending upon which Party Controls the senate, republicans or democrats. Interestingly, president obamas about to leave the white house now to go on a Campaign Trip up to maine and rhode island, two states that have big, close elections for governor there. He has been staying away and perhaps asked to stay away from the key Senate Elections and battleground states like iowa, colorado and elsewhere that will determine the outcome or the makeup of the senate. But, again, Immigration Reform, an issue out there for some time. And well see how it all falls together after the midterms. Thank very much. Apples ceo tim cook, meanwhile, made a big announcement today that has nothing to do with iphones or ipads. An exclusive interview with Bloomberg Business week, became the first ceo of a fortune 500 company to come out publicly as gay. Jon fortt live from cnbc headquarters. What was the reaction to this announcement today . Well, joy, as you might imagine, there are all kinds of reactions, twitter, of course, lighting up. We should note that within apple, within tech, lots of people knew already that tim cook was gay and out magazine back in 2011 when he first became ceo of apple taking over from the late steve jobs, out magazine named him the most powerful gay man in business in the country. In that Community Also he was known to be gay. But here, he is personally speaking out for the first time and giving a reason for why hes saying this now. Let me quote from the essay he wrote in Bloomberg Business week. He said at one point, being gay has given me a deeper understanding of what it means to be in the minority and provide a window into the challenges that people in other minority groups deal with every day. Its made me more empathetic, which has led to a richer life. Tim cook has been a private person, doesnt talk a lot at all about his personal life. And he went on to talk about why hes doing that now. He said, i dont consider myself an activist, but i realize how much i benefitted from the sacrifice of others. If hearing that the ceo of apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is or bring comfort to anyone who is alone or inspire people to insist on their equality, its worth the tradeoff with my own privacy. Now, some people might say, well, its 2014, what is the big deal. Just a handful, fewer than five ceos of five publicly traded companies have come out and said they are gay. There are believed to be many others who havent made public statements on the issue. And apples not just any company. Its a huge brand often cited in global surveys as being the most valuable brand in the world. And in terms of size, in terms of market size, how much investors say apples worth, more than 600 billion more than just about any other publicly traded company, joy. All right. Thank you so much, jon fortt. All right a reid alert where we learned that tom menino has died after a long battle with cancer. He was the longest serving mayor in boston history serving five consecutive terms. The 71yearold menino was diagnosed with advance cancer just after leaving office in january. And just last week he announced he would be stopping treatment and cancelling a book tour to spend more time with his family. And coming up, five days until election day, and all the political heavy weights, d and r the like. A Campaign Issue for many of the democrats fending off republicans in key states. Well discuss. Before larry instantly transferred money from his bank of america savings account to his merrill edge retirement account. Before he opened his first hot chocolate stand calling winter an underserved season. And before he quit his friends leafraking business for not offering a 401k. Larry knew the importance of preparing for retirement. Thats why when the time came he counted on merrill edge to streamline his investing and help him plan for the road ahead. Thats the power of streamlined connections. Thats merrill edge and bank of america. I have the worst cold with this runni better take something. Dayquill cold and flu doesnt treat your runny nose. Seriously . Alkaseltzer plus cold and cough fights your worst cold symptoms plus your runny nose. Oh, what a relief it is. Dave, im sorry to interrupt. I gotta take a sick day tomorrow. Dads dont take sick days, dads take nyquil. The nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, fever, best sleep with a cold, medicine. [ female announcer ] we love our smartphones. And now telcos using hp Big Data Solutions are feeling the love, too. By offering things like onthespot data upgrades an idea that reduced overcharge complaints by 98 . No matter how fast your Business Needs to adapt, if hp Big Data Solutions can keep wireless customers smiling, imagine what they can do for yours. Make it matter. Welcome back. With just five days for campaigns to put the finishing touches on their pitch to voters, a flood of famous surrogates are hitting the trail. Today, president obama heads to maine and then hell spend the night in rhode island. And for fellow trivia buffs out there, hell be the first president since jfk to overnight in that state. We also have the first lady in connecticut and rhode island and Hillary Clinton in maryland. And shes far from the only surrogate who has or who has had president ial aspirations. Jeb bush hit colorado last night. Though, he was mum on whether or not he plans to run in 2016. While mitt romney hit georgia and North Carolina wednesday. With plans this weekend to wade into the tight senate and governors races in alaska. While ted cruz is expected to spend two days there in support of the gop Senate Candidate. And dont forget rand paul, hes scheduled to appear with Mitch Mcconnell next week. Mark murray is nbc senior political adviser. Does all of this help at this point when campaigns are in get out the vote mode. The more people who show up to rallies, the more people who are enthusiastic, the campaigns are able to utilize those crowds, if the state has early voting, they go ahead and send them to go vote early. Those people later become the volunteers to help knock on neighbors doors. If you really do believe in get out the vote efforts having highprofile surrogates to boost those crowds, boost the rallies does help. One of the odd things that now happens, mark, you wind up having surrogate on surrogate attack. Its missing the Actual Campaign theyre campaigning for. Jeb bush was out campaigning. And let me play you what he had to say about somebody who isnt a candidate thats on the ballot. A former secretary of state who was campaigning in massachusetts where she said that dont let them tell you that businesses create jobs. Well, the problem in America Today is that not enough jobs are being created, they are created by businesses where peoples income rise where they can live a life of purpose and meaning independent of government. That should be the mission. So, i mean, mark, if surrogates work, does surrogate versus surrogate attacks going to be undermining the value of a surrogate also work . You know, i think this all gets back getting the crowd fired up. As you ended up hearing that line was able to get a response back from that republican crowd. And increasingly, weve seen this over the past year when it looks like Hillary Clinton is going to be a president ial candidate that all the red meat that had been 100 in president obamas direction. Well, now, president obamas getting about 70 of that red meat and giving the other 30 to Hillary Clinton. Thats whats firing up crowds. Youre seeing the republican machine moving away from president obama to Hillary Clinton if she decides to run. And so that was the context i took. Jeb bushs remarks. And if he decides to run for the presidency. And im not sure hes a sure thing on running. One way of doing that is dishing out some red meat to president obama and Hillary Clinton. Yeah. And whats interesting is it does sort of feel like the surrogates are out there. Yes, theyre trying to campaign for the senate on the republican side to flip the senate. But theyre also table setting for 2016. A lot of focus does seem to be on hillary. One other piece, bloomberg was asking a question about why not cutting tv ads. Youre seeing a lot of use of surrogates that way. Hillarys not. People closer to the former first couple have been turning down theyd have to do it for everyone who asked. They also said its an open question how effective a statewide ad would be. So while democrats at Campaign Rallies may love her, she remains a nationally divisive figure. In Hillary Clintons case, and maybe even in jeb bushs case, is there a risk that their National Brand winds up interfering with the statewide message of these candidates. You know, i think theres a little bit of a risk. But to look back, again, at surrogacy. Also to get some down the road. To be able to say, hey, i campaigned for you two years o ago, can you help me in this bid for Higher Office . And so, there is that a little bit of a give and take. When it comes to Hillary Clinton, not surprised shes not in candidate tv ads. For one reason. Many of the top battleground states are places like arkansas, states that democrats even on their best day are probably not going to win in future president ial contests. Even for the former first lady of arkansas. Its just a very, very tough state. The other thing for Hillary Clinton is that shes a popular figure but not super popular. Her numbers when she was secretary of state were sky high. Theyve come down to earth. Overall, shes more popular than unpopular. Its not by a huge amount thats going to make a difference in many of these contests. It is interesting, too, not that shes the only surrogate out there. Her schedule tells you Something Interesting about what democrats think at this point they can swing. Maryland today. But going in there for kentucky, going to louisiana for mary landrieu, new hampshire. These women candidates, that is actually a big story in this election, right . Is whether or not these women candidates can prevail. Because that does actually Say Something about the democrats potency in 2016. Absolutely. If democrats are going to be able to hold on and keep their Senate Majority, its going to be due to female voters and female candidates you mentioned. Mary landrieu in louisiana, Alison Grimes in kentucky. She was able to pull off the upset. This goes to what im thinking is going to be Hillary Clintons top message if she runs in 2016. And that is the ability to be the nations first female president. It wasnt something that she really ended up mentioning it too often during her 2008 president ial run. I think people realize that turned out to be a mistake where you had someone who certainly embraced being the nations first africanamerican president. But Hillary Clinton really didnt start touting her opportunity to also be a change candidate from all the past white president s this country has ever had. I wouldnt be surprised if the message shes going to be carrying to those states with female senators or candidates will be one that shell end up caring in the general election if she decides to run. Absolutely. That is going to change, mark, because also probably a lot of Obama Campaign people working with her. Thank you very much, mark, really appreciate it. Thanks, joy. Okay. And now three things to know on this thursday. Dozens of National Guardsmen will begin patrolling as a slowmoving lava flow threatens several homes on hawaiis big island. Estimate the river of lava is moving between 15 and 30 feet an hour. And its now just a few yards from one home in the area. So far, theres no mandatory evacuation order, although many homeowners have already gathered their belongings and left. Investigators, meanwhile, say it could take four to five days to recover all the debris from tuesday nights failed rocket launch in virginia. But with the but with the clues theyve gathered so far, theyre focusing the investigation on the refurbished soviet made engines as a possible link to the massive explosion. The explosion is the first since nasa headquarters handed over Cargo Missions to commercial operators. And victory celebrations turned violent in Automated Systems<\/a> in it. You have to understand, a turbo prop aircraft actually has jet engines on the wings with giant fourbladed propellers. Those propellers create tremendous wind, obviously, that go over the wings and add to the normal lift of the wing. When you lose one of those engines, you have tremendous lift on one wing, no lift on the other or very little. And the aircraft wants to turn into the dead engine and roll into the dead engine.

And the angry reactions to this psa opposing street harassment. The video created by holla back showed a woman getting cat called relentlessly. Its been viewed over 16 million times in two days. The woman featured now facing a backlash. Holla back tweeted the subject of our psa is starting to get rape threats on the comments. Thats referring to the videos youtube page. Those threats are too graphic to show here. In tweets like this. Nothing says rape culture isnt real like rape threats, right . One other point of discussion has been the fact that most of the harassing men in the video are men of color. Rob blitz is quoted as explaining, quote, we got a fair amount of white guys, but for whatever reason, whatever they said was in passing or off camera or ruined by a siren or other noise. The final product is not a perfect representation of everything that happened. Hmm. So Shawna Roberts<\/a> further explained earlier today on msnbc. My experience this happens from white men, from black men, asian men, latino men. They all just the fact that you have male genitalia puts you in that category. Okay. Something else youre buzzing about, racism. And the name of the Washington Football Team<\/a>. Take a look at this new psa denouncing the team name. And please note, msnbc did not bleep out those offensive words, the video was produced that way. I am a [ bleep ]. Im a [ bleep ]. Im a [ bleep ]. I am a [ bleep ]. Im a [ bleep ]. Im a [ bleep ]. Im a [ bleep ]. I am a redskin. Wow. That psa was released in advance of a protest planned for sunday. It will demand that the Washington Football Team<\/a> change its name from that known racial slur. But now to some good sporting news, the 40th anniversary of the rumble in the jungle. Between muhammad ali and george foer foreman. You have been sending 1,000 tweets an hour about the fight. Buzzing about the mental prowess of the famous strategy and youre tweeting, rumble in the jungle 40 years ago today, possibly the most amazing boxing match ever.

Now theres even more of the amazing cinnamon taste you love on cinnamon toast crunch. Crave those crazy squares even more. Welcome back. If democrats are going to hold on to the senate, what theyre going to need is very simple. Base turnout. Black voters in particular, but also young voters. So to that end, organizations like color of change are fanning out. And in some cases using images of Michael Brown<\/a> and ferguson to remind young black voters why they need to participate in their democracy. As the New York Times<\/a> reports today, even the super pac controlled by Senate Majority<\/a> leader harry reid is not just using Michael Brown<\/a>, but also the death of Treyvon Martin<\/a> to drive black voters to the polls. Rashad robinson is the executive director of color of change. Org, angela rye and perry bacon is nbcs senior political reporter. And i actually, im going to start on the other end with you, perry bacon. Youre reporting on this broader effort to sort of get black voters to the polls and really using a lot of this social iconography to do it. What have you learned . What youre seeing is that democratic voters overall, not very excited about kay hagan, Michelle Nunn<\/a> necessarily, but they are flustered with the leadership of their republicans in the south. Nathan diehl, tom tillis, the Senate Candidate<\/a> in North Carolina<\/a> who has been behind this that a lot of people dont like. A lot of talk about voter suppression, the very negatively focused campaign in these states sort of running against the republicans as opposed to running necessarily for the democrats. Right, and i should play a little piece of the ad. Lets play a little bit of it this is what the democrats are saying specifically in North Carolina<\/a> about tillis. Lets take a look. And tillis wont fight for us. Instead, he made it harder for communities of color to vote by restricting early voting and voter registration. Ti now, we should note that the Washington Post<\/a> fact checker gave that ad many pinoccios, theres no evidence that he was a leader in an effort to pass the law in North Carolina<\/a>. But i think the key point that i would look at, angela, that the democrats in that case are not running, necessarily, for the democrat. That ad is not about the democrat at all. Right. Its about the voters and voter suppression. And casting a vote against someone who represents the type of leadership you dont want going to the senate. So whether or not. The fact, the debate was about whether or not tom tillis led the efforts to stand your ground in North Carolina<\/a>. Thats besides the point. It happened under his watch. Just like the president has been held accountable by all types of immigration groups because the senate bill was not passed or considered in the house. You have the same type of issue. It cant happen on your watch. And that is absolutely what we should be holding them accountable to. No, the law did not kill Trayvon Martin<\/a>, but for that law, George Zimmerman<\/a> may very well be in jail today and we have to Pay Attention<\/a> to those kind of things. Your organization has not been shy either about going to the well on issues like mike brown, Trayvon Martin<\/a> about getting interested going to the polls. Weve also tried to get these republicans on the record. And when we have, we saw the democratic candidate talk clearly when he was asked the question, do africanamerican men have a harder time with the criminal Justice System<\/a> . He said, yes, the republican candidate said no. After all of the data points weve seen over the last several years of time and time again. So it was an organization like ours, we do need to utilize that moment. These points, the things that the candidates are saying and doing and putting them before voters and saying november 4th is right around the corner. If we dont speak for ourselves at the election, other people will. And, i mean, one of the other things to say with you youre trying to use big data, a techdriven strategy to get Younger Voters<\/a> out. Talk a little bit about that. Well, absolutely. Were looking at drop off voters. Folks who voted in 2012 but didnt vote in 2010. And were reaching them with clear messages, scientifically, you know, tailored messaging to try to reach those folks. Then were following, then were sort of reaching them in social media after mail, as well. Were trying different tactics to understand while we may not have the sort of yes, we can candidate at the top of the ballot, there are issues every single day. In particular after ferguson that our Community Needs<\/a> to be concerned about. And people need to turn out and speak for themselves. And when people talk about the voter drop off among democrats, they talk about africanamericans, but actually that dropoff is not that much. Its young voters that have the serious dropoff in midterm elections. The Harvard Institute<\/a> of politics, they asked voters 18 to 29, who do you want to control the congress . They said democrats. Overwhelmingly, 43 said republicans. When they asked who is definitely voting, its young republicans that are definitely voting. Right. How do democrats address that issue . I think part of it is the same type of issue we have in communities of color. When its time for candidate recruitment, dccc, the campaigns that run the senate side and the house side on the hill. Why arent there more candidates that look like us and think like us . And i dont mean just people of color in this instance, i mean more women, i mean more people that appeal to young folks. The reason why rand paul with all of his crazy ideals works for young people, hes saying something unconventional. We need to start recruiting in those spaces where young people will be excited about a candidate. That is why they voted for barack obama. You shouldnt go too far. Well, perry, then, to that end. Democrats who absolutely need Younger Voters<\/a> and africanamericans to come out. They dont have those kind of candidates. Theyre trying to steer way to the middle and trying to steer away from barack obama or some of these more hot button issues. How is that working . What youre seeing is, Michelle Nunn<\/a> says i voted for obama, thats pretty much it. Hes leaving in two years. But the black leaders in georgia are doing a lot. They change like the voting rules to where the point where some of the counties near atlanta have created early voting for the first time on sundays. I talked to reverend barber in North Carolina<\/a>. He said kay hagans fine, but im running against tom tillis and the legislator. Theyre trying to make the case that the democratic candidate may be fine, but the republican candidate, you really dont like this person. In all of these southern states, Medicaid Expansion<\/a> is a big deal that affects africanamericans and the black leaders are making a case. And all of the republicans oppose the medicaid its an issuebased campaign saying the republican is hurting you instead of saying this democrat is great. Because most are wary of talking about liberal issues and supporting obama. The president s not been in southern states. The campaign is about demonizing the republicans for things they done. And one of the key words there is the south. And a lot of the fight is taking place in the south where 50 of after africanamericans still live. And the reason why our votes matter its the tipping point, joy. I think we have to stay engaged. This is the election where its an accountability election. Right. If you want someone to represent you, you have to show up to the polls. You have to demonstrate what your issues are. Whether its ferguson happening in atlanta or somewhere else. If the democrats can use that type of rhetoric, its time for democrats to be held accountable to that. What are the action items youre going to take to prevent the next Trayvon Martin<\/a>, to prevent the next ferguson, voter see presentation. Wh suppression. We have to hold people accountable on both sides. Will there be a higher percentage in the midterm than 2010 . I think so. I hope so. Were doing a lot of things to sort of put the issues on the table. But there is an untold story about black participation in this country that it has been on the steady uptick. And black young people outpaced other young people in 2010. And often times we go back and think that black people dont turn out, that is not actually the story here. Right. What were doing is putting the issues on the table so people know theres an election and know we need them. All right. Thank you all for being here. Thank you, joy. And we are hosting twitter chats as part of our election coverage tomorrow at noon eastern. Krystal ball will answer your questions, follow along on vote. Msnbc. Com.

With election day almost upon us, weve been talking a lot about whether or not democrats will hold on to the senate. Theres another question thats gone largely under the radar. With 20 of the senate seats currently occupied by women, the highest number ever, could the Upper Chamber<\/a> be on its way to having an unprecedented number of female members. Thats just one of the topics that were going to discuss with author and feminist icon and founder of the Womens Media Center<\/a> robin morgan. Now, last night, i had the pleasure of joining these lovely ladies in a Stellar Group<\/a> of media legends at the Womens Media Center<\/a>s annual media awards. And its so great to see you ladies, again. And this issue of women in politics is very fraught. America really congratulated itself when we got to 20 women in the senate. Ill start with you on this, gloria. Do you feel weve come very far at all . No, we havent when we look relative to other democracies in the world. We are way, way down the list like number 70 or so in terms of reputation in our national legislature. Were accustomed to thinking americas the best. And its not accurate. Were missing a huge amount of talent. What do you think, robin, keeps more women from running . Well, i think money, primarily. But not exclusively. Its become now such a marketplace. And women dont have access to that kind of money. All women, plus men of color, they get the message, not particularly welcome. In the races. Despite that, we managed to get in there and were still trying. If you dont have a democracy or a media for that matter that is representative and reflects the way people really are you dont have the media doing that. You dont have the democracy doing that. Yeah, and you mentioned the media. We do have a media. And this is according to the report that the Median Center<\/a> put out. Which are brought. Absolutely. Men are 63. 4 still in print tv and online media. Women in terms across all media outlets, 65 sources in the New York Times<\/a>, front page stories, men directed 93 of 2013s topgrossing films. Goes on and on and on. So you have if a media thats not representative, is it possible to get proper representation of women candidates that would make them feel comfortable running . No, i think the classic thing here is that if you cant see it, you cant bee it. If you dont see candidates who look like you and all those women should be diverse and so on, all those men should be diverse, you come to think thats a different class of being. This is true even with occupations. If you havent seen anybody who looks like you in that occupation, you dont think its possible. Also, i was thinking because of your last very good segment, i was thinking about the lack of connection among the issues. For instance, if zimmerman had been convicted of the Domestic Violence<\/a> which he convicted, Trayvon Martin<\/a> might be alive. There are a whole lot of supremacy crimes, theyre not about financial gain, not about any rational thing. Theyre about through the fact through no fault of theirs, really, these white guys have been born into a system that told them they had the right to control. And when they cant control, they go crazy. I mean, its only about control and about power. And its interesting you mention that. Because even in our politics, we are now more often talking about issues, talking about control, whether well have control even over the access to reproductive medicine. Thats right. And so its really we do seem to be having its control in every direction. Its control the recent scandal on the internet about gamer gate. It was the young, pale males wanting to control public space and not wanting women in there. And its extraordinary. I think, you know, weve learned that the most dangerous time for a battered woman is when she is about to leave. Yeah. And i think this has something to do with that. Its a lot of young white male, pale males between ages 18 and 25. Are the crux of it. Its sort of the height of testosterone poisoning period. And they sense that the world is changing around them and theres a panic about that, not that its going to stop us. One of the things we try to do at Womens Media Center<\/a> is model what an alternative media would look like, not just criticize. What would it look like . Well, weve got a radio show. Womens Media Center Live<\/a> with me that you have graciously and wonderfully guested on. But, we had recently a round table of all africanamerican women who had been the main energy force behind why we cant wait, the criticism of my brothers keeper initiative. And it was diynamite and it wen indepth. And it went into the issues and the subtleties and the nuances. And its a whole alternate reality. Yeah. That doesnt make it into Mainstream Media<\/a> except for moments when people like you get it in. Well, and the interesting thing is, maybe the sad thing is, gloria, when you founded the magazine, did you imagine wed be at a stage in 2014 . I dont think so. I think i had the illusion we had more of a democracy than we really have. We now are in a situation where we have majority support for pretty much every single issue that has been raised by the social justice movements. But we still dont have those in reality. And so, you know, i dont think i that i contemplated that. Its very important, as robin was saying about understanding the nature of family violence. Yes. Because it is the microcosm of all violence. The point of which a woman escapes is the point of the most danger. I would say this country is escaping. You know, were about to, for the first time not be a majority of white or European American<\/a> country. Weve turned against two wars faster than thats right. Weve were critical of the division of wealth. And the country is escaping. I think what that means is that the people who depend for their security on the old way are feeling like theyre losing control. And its part of the reason you see such crazy, obsessed rhetoric and violence and such political division. Yeah. It isnt that the majority is okay. Yeah. But the people who are accustomed to control are in a panic and in their own revolt. Yeah. And its a dangerous period because of that. You know. But i dont think its going to stop us. I know its not going to stop us. And thats the good news. Women are always the canaries in the mine. You know, thats what, gloria, i think meant beautifully by the example with George Zimmerman<\/a>. And if you look to what the history is with a woman, you see it way ahead of time. But if you dismiss that, the difference is that the miners Pay Attention<\/a> to the canaries and our culture doesnt always pay that attention. But through the Womens Media Center<\/a>, youre doing great work to make people Pay Attention<\/a>. And im very proud of you. It was wonderful being with you all last night. So great having you. Weve got to do it again. You bet. Robin morgan, gloria steinem, thank you for being here. Thank you for being there. Thank you. Thank you. All right. And coming up on reid between the lines, well talk about Chris Christie<\/a> because, yeah, hes back to his old self. Listen, you want to have the conversation later . Im happy to have it, buddy.

Its my honor to introduce you all to the president of the united states. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. No, no, no. Not that Chris Christie<\/a>. This Chris Christie<\/a>. So, listen you want to have the conversation later, im happy to have it, buddy. Until that time, sit down and shut up. Now, the occasion for that particular bout of christie style dressing down was the twoyear anniversary of Hurricane Sandy<\/a> which devastated the jersey shore and the far rockaways and Staten Island<\/a> in new york. It turns out that two years later, there are still victims of that hurricane who are not in their homes and who have no idea when they will be. Christie spent much of wednesday visiting shore communities still going about the process of rebuilding. He didnt always get a welcome reception. Im still homeless two or three years later christie said he sympathized with them and doing the best he could to make victims whole as soon as possible. For christie who seems likely to run for president in 2016, the sandy aftermath could be a factor in how hes perceived by the national electorate. Christie would be running on his leadership as governor of new jersey. And that record includes vetoing a sandy bill of rights passed by the legislature in may and 20 million spent on tv ads which triggered a federal audit. Is and those sandy victims still homeless and in some cases desperate. But in response to that protester, a familiar christie tic of yelling at people. About whom christie said this earlier in the week about a potential lawsuit. Looks like youre going to have to defend this in court. Whatever. Get in line. Ive been sued lots of times before. Bring it on. She was inside the hospital in a climate controlled area with access to her cell phone, internet, takeout food. She was doing just fine. She had takeout. It could be his biggest liability. After all, americans like their leaders to be not just strong but also likable. And that wraps things up for the reid report. See you back here tomorrow at 2 00 p. M. Eastern and be sure to visit us online. The cycle is up next. Hey cyclists. At least she had takeout. Makes all the difference. What do you have going on today . A lot going on. First of all, Jonathan Capehart<\/a> at the table. Always thrilled to have him here. And five days until the midterm elections. Weve got Steve Kornacki<\/a> giving us the lay of the land. And a 20yearold reality star who has made over 1 million in the past year mining of all things. And what i think cory gardner is going to win on tuesday. Ive got to go back to the person mining and winning i think were all in the wrong business. We need to rethink, but for now the cycle is up next.

Hes neck and neck with the same man who challenged him four years ago. The first lady today also hit the trail for the democrat running for governor of rhode island. That is also another close race. The president will head there later tonight. But right now, hes in the air on the way to stump in maine. With a presidency thats not exactly flying high. Two points above his alltime low. We know obamas not on the ballot. His name alone is bringing republicans to the polls. Nearly 60 of registered gop voters say theyre going simply to the polls on tuesday to express their disappointment with the president. Now, compare that to just 43 of democrats who say their vote will be in support of president obama and his policies.
