1:07 pm
most republicans would rather raise the money that's spent on selma that we are not yet at a to his last, which isn't rocket science. defense. in terms of the issue of point where the most vital part of the voting rights act, it's just common sense. flexibility, perhaps the section 5, is no longer from td ameritrade. president's top economic adviser put it best. he said it's like being told you necessary. congressman john lewis says have to cut off three fingers. areas covered by the act it doesn't matter which three represent more than 80% of fingers you cut off, it's still lawsuits proving cases of voting not a good thing. so the white house says it really has its back against the discrimination. wall in terms of trying to do is it still necessary or not? >> it's absolutely necessary, anything at this time on that. and it's for the reason that >> white house correspondent peter alexander. karen referred to and that thanks, pete. next, let's bring in our justice sotomayor in oral panel. with me in new york is msnbc arguments called the innovation political analyst jonathan alter of discrimination. who is a columnist for bloomberg the fact that you have to have view and in washington julian epstein, a democratic preclearance because there are strategist. john, isn't the country now so many ways that we've seen these local districts find to discriminate on the basis of becoming the victim of the chaos race that they have to go in within the republican party? last week john boehner writes an advance. the other point that's important, and we don't op-ed in "the wall street ultimately know what the justices will do. journal" saying this sequester roberts and alito have been very will no doubt damage national skeptical of equalizing racial security and cause the loss of thousands of jobs. he goes on "meet the press" programs, including the seattle yesterday and he says, oh, i don't think it will do any damage. we don't know what damage it schools case, where justice will do. >> well, it really isn't about the republican party. roberts says the best way is to you know, they have almost two
1:08 pm
years to go before the next stop discriminating on the basis election, and so how they go up of race, a sentence structure or down in the polls in a given that offended many people not unlike what we heard from day even though they're really low right now is not really the scalia. issue. but the idea that states should be offended because they're to me the issue is whether this included is one of the most becomes, as you described it, hollow, stale, and baseless the new normal. if we just kind of move past the arguments. section 5 obviously is sequester now and go, okay, it's preclearance. section 2 includes all states on to all these other things, and no one is saying throw that out and the fact that all states then out of sight, out of mind. are subject to this oversight on the other hand, and this is where the media comes in, if does not offend all states. >> right. karen, go ahead. every time 600 people lose their >> and if anything, again, look housing vouchers or a group of a at how the tactics have not only changed but the geography of the tactics. few thousand women can't get we're talking about pennsylvania, wisconsin. immunizations when they're we're not just talking about the pregnant because the women, infant, around children's southern states. if anything, i think you could make the argument that every program, the wic program has state, all 50 states, should been slashed -- have to get preclearance given >> 4,000 in michigan preparing for that. >> if na is defined as news so the shenanigans we've seen. >> eric cantor was at the march. every time it happens in michigan, in arkansas, he had some nice things to say particularly in republican about civil rights and districts, every time that congressman lewis. happens, every time the effect while he voted to extend the voting rights act seven years of the sequester is felt on the ago, he also supported amendments that would ground, if we define that as news, if you cover it, if i substantially weaken it. for instance, one amendment by cover it, if other people in the louis gohmert would have media cover it, then the impact
1:09 pm
reauthorized the act only through 2016. of the sequester will be felt, so if i can ask you this, karen, and that will force them back to which side of eric cantor's mouth should we believe? the table to get rid of these terms of his voting rights comments? >> well, you have to pay attention to both sides but you stupid -- i should say really probably should be skeptical also of both sides. that's the same kind of game asinine cuts. >> yes. julian, maybe there is some that the house of method in this madness. representatives was playing last week where they voted against the one thing republicans want to do, as you know, is reduce the senate version of the violence against women act, a government and government assistance. and this sequester, though number of members did, but they were able to vote for a version of the violence against women indiscriminate, is absolutely going to reduce assistance to act. these are the kinds of tactical the most needy in ouryes, that'. games these guys like to play. and this is i think the first >> i have to jump in, i look at time i have ever said this on your show. this actually i think from a it a dilittle differently. strategic point of view was a i give credit to eric cantor for smart move for the republicans because what it's done is it has going down there -- >> hold on a second. given them all the leverage in i remember when he gave that the budget negotiations and speech about the, you know, eric taken a lot of leverage away cantor 4.0. from the president. what did he do before hand? it's a cynical move because ap he appeared with an african-american child in a surveyed 37 economists, 35 of classroom. which said this austerity i mean, a lot of this you have for the chief of the to concede is cosmetic. program is the worst thing for montgomery police department to >> i think it goes beyond offer an apology, i teared up. the economy right now. symbolism on this case. it's a cynical move but it is a i think that's an important smart move because it does give them kind of the leverage in point that gets lost, which is the republican caucus in both i tried to keep from crying, and this debate. houses has been far more we will see spending -- supportive of the voting rights i accepted the apology, and i
1:10 pm
basically we have the european model. act than the judiciary. we have automatic spending cuts going in as far as the eye can now, there are many other accepted the badge. issues, including voter i.d. >> that, of course, was see now, and the president has to come back and fight even to where we know they are on the wrong side of these issues, but congressman john lewis, who 48 get spending back at the that's not every issue, and i do years ago sunday was beaten, baseline level. want to say i am glad that the tear gassed and trampled by but, you know, this is an absurd voting rights act continues to horses as he and other civil process. be reauthorized by higher and domestic spending is at 4% of rights leaders tried to march the economy. that's the lowest it's been bipartisan majorities. >> but, ari, if you believe across the edmund pettus bridge. since 1962 as a percentage of justice scalia, which i don't, we are delighted to say that the the economy. defense spending is probably by the way, he suggested congressman joins us now. around 5%. good afternoon, sir. again, that's -- >> sure. actually the title of a piece of >> we're talking about general >> good afternoon. legislation like the voting historic averages here. >> we played a clip just now of if you want to go after -- if rights act, as he said who is going to vote against that, you want to really go after determines. and the fact that people have you and the head of the montgomery, alabama, chief of savings, the place to do it is been so supportive of it is actually a fact of this -- this police. entitlement reform, and the can i ask you, how moved were president has gone further than the republicans have in terms of shows the politics at play. you when he gave you his badge and apologized for the police this shows i don't remember the putting chain cpi and means phrase he used, the racial department's failure to protect entitlements -- >> perpetuation of racial you during a similar incident testing in terms of entitlement just four years earlier? entitlement is what he said. reform, and republicans -- >> exactly. >> well, i was deeply moved and people don't understand this, republicans are far more i don't agree with him but i do protective of current think there may be an element of beneficiaries of medicare than is the president. politics. i don't think the name has the bottom line is this right anything to do with it nor do i now, spending is at about 23% of touched and very pleased that believe it's an entitlement, but the economy in terms of the something like this would take again, i don't think it's wrong place. federal budget. to see the politics in what it took place at the first taxes are at historic lows of cantor was trying to do. >> indeed, and we do. 16%. republicans haven't proposed in karen finney and ari melber, baptist church in downtown any of their plans getting montgomery that had been spending down to 16%, so they thank you, both. coming up congressman john postered by the reverend ralph
1:11 pm
have to do something on the tax lewis, john lewis himself, on side if they really believe in a his emotional return to selma. abernathy, a colleague of dr. stay with us. [ male announcer ] ok, here's the way the system works. king, a church that was bombed balanced budget. >> they don't. during the time of the >> the numbers aren't with the montgomery bus boycott. republicans. the economists aren't with the it's the same church i met republicans. the president won three elections on this question. he won the election in the let's say you pay your guy around 2% to manage your money. martin luther king, jr. in 1958 presidential race, on the house that's not much you think. except it's 2% every year. when i was 18 years old. race, and in the senate where >> i was reminded of dr. martin the question about a balanced does that make a difference? luther king's words in one of approach to dealing with the his sermons where he said debt and deficit was front and forgiveness is not an occasional center. >> john -- >> and he won all three of those races. >> john, since the election, act. it is a constant attitude. republicans, including marco but nevertheless, that as an act rubio, have gone out on the by the chief of police must have stur stump and said we do not want to be the party that's associated been profound for you. with big money, big >> it was very, very moving, and corporations, and billionaires. well, this is a fantastic thing to do, isn't it? the only way i could respond was to be associated with protecting by saying thank you. loopholes and deductions for i thought he was giving me a corporations and billionaires badge that he needed to wear, while smashing the poor to pieces. >> well, you know, i was just and i said to him, i said i'm working on my next book and i went back and looked at the not worthy to accept your badge. transcript of the second -- of the first debate, the one that do you have another one? romney won -- >> allegedly, yes. and i have been arrested in jail >> well, he won that debate. many times, especially during everybody agreed. the '60s, about 40 times, and one of his main points was that
1:12 pm
he wanted to get rid of loopholes and unnecessary never a police officer had deductions and that he would not go forward with his plan unless offered to apologize. they did that. it was right at the center of mitt romney's argument. and i was crying tears of now, you have john boehner and these other republicans saying, oh, no, we consider any closing gratitude, and i guess that we of loopholes to be somehow had come to this point, and even verboten. we can't do that because that's when i think about it today for a tax increase after they let the bush tax cuts expire. a young police officer, a young the point is they don't care white police officer, the chief about balanced budgets. in montgomery, alabama, who was this is the big misconception in american politics. not even born 52 years ago when they haven't cared for years about balanced budgets since this all took place, to give me dick cheney said, quote, deficits don't matter. his badge, and he took it off of they only care about starving his lapel, and i brought it with the beast, shrinking the government, and lowering taxes, me. i have it. i have been keeping it in my especially on the wealthy. everything else is irrelevant. paul ryan's budget doesn't pocket all day today. >> well, maybe you can show us balance for 30 years. >> no. in a moment. >> so we need to get out of our there's been much discussion heads this notion that they're about the south's attitudes deficit hawks. they're not. they're radical republicans who toward minorities then and now. want to slash taxes even further how would you say things have
1:13 pm
on the wealthy. they don't really stand for improved, have changed, and what anything else but that right now. >> julian, one of the things work still needs to be done? that's becoming permanent about this republican party is that >> well, what we saw back in the compassionate conservatism 1961 and even before, the signs no longer exists. they are callous conservatives that said white men, colored who won't support a rise in the minimum wage, are happy to see men, white women, colored women, white waiting, colored waiting. the elderly lose their meals on that's what the freedom ride was all about in 1961. wheels, and can't wait to throw thousands of people off food those signs are gone. stamps. they're not compassionate. they are callous now, aren't and in montgomery, in selma they? >> this is a jihad, and i think john was exactly correct. this is a jihad against the people can register and vote government. it's a very narrow-minded, because during another period in philosophical approach that ignores what all of the the heart of the south it was consensus of economists are saying, ignores what happened in very hard and very difficult for europe where they experienced people to register and vote. austerity there, and john rightly points out some very important things here, which is but there are still problems. there are many, many problems. that even the republicans if you too many people of color, too take their most extreme proposals on cuts, do not get to many poor people have been left out and left behind. a balanced budget. the ryan plan didn't get to a we still have a lot of work to balanced budget. do. you can't get to a debt balanced we're not there yet. we still must remove the scars budget when taxes are at 16% of the economy. and sting of racism and create because no republican has even
1:14 pm
proposed taking spending to that what i like to call one level. >> paul ryan is going to do it in ten years now, julian. community, one family, the >> no, he's not. that's john's point. american community, the american if you look at -- even at a family, the american house. my position is we all live in ten-year trajectory it doesn't the same house, and as dr. king work because they don't address entitlements in a way that said on one occasion, we must actually balances the budget in learn to live together as ten years. brothers and sisters or we will and john's other point i think is very, very important here. remember, the republican position going into the election was we will generate revenues by perish as fools. closing the loopholes. that's why i go back to selma now in the latest flip-flop from and montgomery and birmingham republicans when it comes time every year and try to take some to do this balanced approach of my colleagues with me. that the american people have voted for, the republicans are i wish there was some way we could get members of congress pulling the rug out from under and some of us are trying to do the feet of president again on it to follow the spirit of the loopholes. it's a position that's twisted. movement. it's contorted. >> yeah. it is internally inkiconsistent. your march sunday takes place as the supreme court discusses the voting rights act of 1965 which >> but it is the modern republican party. was passed in the wake of the >> it is. >> the worst thing about it is brutality of that day 48 years it's a bad economic plan. ago, as you know. economists agree on that. what would it mean to you if we don't need an austerity plan. they knocked back section 5 we need a jobs and economic growth plan. >> john, final word to you. which forces an electoral -- all >> i think the question for the president moving forward is can electoral changes in affected he focus, continue to focus the states and areas to be subjected
1:15 pm
