But the people from these districts, likely a lot of these tea party republicans, they wouldn t lose their districts. their districts were drawn for them to win. it would be the silent majority, those republicans in the house that are tired of this game, that want to get beyond this, who come from more swing districts. those would be the ones that would be would be at stake. those people are the ones that should be speaking up and telling john boehner, enough already. yeah. goldy, boehner s speakership could hardly be described as superlative. this is, a pivotal moment for the speaker. but could it be the end if not the end of speaker boehner, maybe the beginning of the end? you know, speaker boehner s speakership ended a few years ago. that s true, actually. when the tea party coalition really took over. the cruz caucus has been in charge for many, many months, including rand paul. so we re watching speaker boehner not lead this house, but
Have to be able to shrink government down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub before everything will be right. once we re into that mind-set and listen to rush limbaugh and watch o reilly and believe that sort of stuff now you can understand. here s somebody who is a true believer, who is leading the fight, right, against obamacare. he is a he is fighting until the end. he s not going to wave the white flag. he s not going to give up like other folks. he will fight, bare knuckles, to defund obamacare, no matter what, even if it damages the nation, because it should. because we should stop this train wreck of a law that will ruin america forever. now, partly that could be because obamacare could be a huge success, and that would ruin the republican conservative narrative that big government cannot solve our problems. but put that aside, we must stop this before it s too late, before it becomes part of the fabric of america! okay, calm down for five minutes. goldy, senator rand paul of kentucky insists his party is like charlie sheen, insists
People s lives with political theater. and that s irresponsible. goldy is absolutely right in that where theater is so important in that, what they re doing, what cruz is doing is creating this theater, whereby he gets this media attention, where he seems like the leader against big government, creating fund-raising opportunities for himself and others like mike lee, who are down with him. that theater, even though it s damaging the country, that theater is so valuable for them. if you re in that conservative bubble. goldy how do you explain how do you explain the fact that the self-same people who talk about patriotism, who talk about the greatness of america, are willing to see 38,000 fbi agents furloughed, who are willing to see the very security of the nation undermined, who are willing to see troops, and you were once a marine, troops like you, not receive pay for serving this nation, and risking your
Never let a fact get in the way of telling a good story. the narrative being put out there who is being put upon is the state, in this case, of ohio. what they re trying to do is to police their boundaries to make sure fraud doesn t exist. let s be honest here. the proof of the existence of fraud is so minuscule that it far outweighs in doing negative than the positive it might bring by pointing out the fraud. there ain t no fraud. and as a result of their witchhunt for those who are fraudulent, what ends up happening is, the discouragement of voters from coming to the poll. and as goldy has laid out brilliantly about the various strategies deployed in these states to make certain there is a blockage in the artery of democracy so the freeflow of blood will be prevented from going to the very heart of this country and that s the voter. well, the voters have seen a lot. since the beginning of this year, 2013, more than 30 states have introduced restrictive voting bills. so how do you combat this, goldy? i mean, i know we re a year away from a very crucial midterm.
Ohio. gop governors and state legislatures across the country have been passing measures aimed at keeping democratic voter away from the polls and really it s only getting worse. joining me now to discuss this bigger picture in our panel tonight is msnbc contributor michael eric dyson, back with us. and also goldie taylor, managing editor of the goldie taylor project and msnbc contributor. goldy, you heard the comment from huested, and he s on fox news doing these interviews, because they know the righties know how important ohio is and how important the secretary of state s position is in ohio. the democrats want to win in 16, they re going to need ohio as they have needed in past elections. but he said easy to vote and hard to cheat. do you believe that? absolutely not. you know, these republicans, secretaries of state are nothing more than deputies of the national gop. if you look at the states where we are closest in terms of flipping blue or red, that s where the pressure is on.
Lejeune kind of facility. but highly secure, nonetheless. and yet, as i understand it, goldy, you could get on to this place by showing i.d. but there were no metal detecting resources or anything like that in order to get on. sure. this is about the eyeball. making sure that the identification matches the person who is holding it. and so you know, that is really the best kind of precaution you could really take is the eyeball. but, you know, weapons that this gentleman had today, we don t know how he obtained them. we don t know if he had them lawfully. but that ar-15, that shotgun, that handgun, all legally obtainable by you, by me. by anyone else in this country. and there is something i think very wrong with that. while i agree with the second amendment to have, you know, an ar-15 which has the ability to snap on a high-capacity magazine and kill so many people at once i think is very, very unfortunate. angela, to that point, the
He did not just walk in off the street. no. congresswoman eleanor holmes norton, thank you very much for joining us so soon after that press conference. always a pleasure, martin. the president took a moment to share some remarks about this among s tragedy himself. we still don t know all the facts, but we do know that several people have been shot, and some have been killed. so we are confronting yet another mass shooting. and today it happened on a military installation in our nation s capital. for more on yet another mass shooting as the president put it, i m joined by msnbc contributor, goldie taylor and political strategist, angela rai. goldy, has a former marine, what more could you tell us about this sort of facility. as a civilian, my assumption is this would be a highly protective community where it would be very difficult for someone to get in. it absolutely is a highly protective facility, as are all
So here s my panel. robert trainum and managing editor of the goldy tailor project and principal of impact strategies, angela rye. i ll talk with you, goldy, first as the white house chief of staff on all five sunday shows today and president obama, he s going to do the six sit-down interviews with the national networks tomorrow before the primetime address on tuesday. does it matter how many times they deliver the same message? isn t it more important what they say? you know, while i certainly understand the white house s urgency to attempt to get their message out more clearly, i don t i think that the water is already rolled down that river. i think that public opinion on syria, no matter where you stand, either for an intervention or not, then you re ideals about this are pretty much already set. even, goldy, with the pictures, the video that s come
Out? do you think that at all changes the equation? i think the people who were on the fence came off one way or the other with the videos but i think the people that already decided, their decision really does stand, even in the face of the videos. robert, beyond proving that it was a chemical attack that was carried out near damascus on the 21st of last month, $the obama administration need to give the american public definitive proof it came from the assad regime? or is that just a given at this point? yes, to answer your question. but in the long term, let me go back to what goldy said. that genie is somewhat out of the bottle but president still needs to address the nation as to why he thinks we should have very targeted missile strikes. the president s job is to lead. the president s job is to motivate and to convince. president bush had to do it with iraq. after 9/11 and one committee argue system he did it
Coburn has been willing to he s on the ground, tell the criticize hi party, and i think officers don t come in shooting it goes to show you how far off or anything. i ll buzz them in. okay. the rails the republican party has gone. hold on, just sit right there. they have stoked they sentiments i m going to buzz them in, so you know when they re coming, that this president is evil, okay? just stay there calm. that he is treasonous, that he i m going to sit right here so deserved impeachment, so when they see you re not trying to they re confronted with these harm me okay? questions at town hall meetings, okay. okay. it s going to be all right they can t back down, because those are the sentiments that sweetie. i just want you to know that i chef i think goldy is right, love you, okay? and i m proud of you, that s a they have nothing to offer in good thing that you ve given up and don t worry about it. terms of positive plans. we all go through something in life. amazing courage. she stayed on that phone for 24 minutes, talking to both the and throws out carrie and gunman and the 911 operator. she says she knew that if she completely false accommodations. lieuies gohmert has said that let the man walk out of her sight, children could die. gop lawmakers are actually joins me now are former fbi meeting weekly to plot profiler clint van zandt and obamacare s downfall.
