you have to think the government experience she has, she's smarter. let's hope we're all smarter after some of these events, so, yes, she's a better candidate. she is the center of the political universe democrat side right now. >> well, what about bernie zappeders and joe biden? could they mount the charge? >> it's going to be hard. it's really going to be hard. i think you know, a lot of progressive, bernie sanders will be very difficult to talk about things, but in the end, it's hillary's i think to lose, joe biden's impressive, others are impressive but she's really got the credentials all across the board. >> okay. wayne slater, great to have you with us tonight. i appreciate it so much. that's "the ed show." i'm ed schultz. "politicsnation with al sharpton" is that rights right now. >> good evening, ed and thank to you for tuning. more fallout from the nfl in the beating scandal and why this story is bigger than sports and affects all of us in this

country. 20 years ago tomorrow, a landmark piece of legislation became law. the violence against women act, president bill clinton signed it into law. senator joe biden wrote the law. it strengthened protections for victims and toughened penalties against anyone who abused women. this week vice president biden spoke to msnbc's tamron hall about it. >> i'm very proud of the violence against women act that we passed a law. societal change has taken place. it takes time. but i really believe it's taking root and we have an obligation to just keep pushing it. >> obligation to keep pushing it. despite progress, domestic violence is still a problem all over the country. and this video from tmz sports of ray rice and his then girlfriend really illustrated the problem this week.

and it touched a nerve across the country because we saw it. and that's why there's a laser focus on nfl commissioner roger goodell and questions on the league's handling of the controversy and it's why senators are demanding a zero tolerance policy in the nfl and it's why the house judiciary committee is demanding transparency in the investigation. today, sources tell nbc that rice says he told commissioner goodell back in june that he had punched his wife. if true, it could contradict goodell's comments about what happened when he met with rice. >> when we met with ray rice and his representatives, it was ambiguous about what actually happened. >> 20 years after the signing of the vice against women act, america is still dealing with domestic violence as a problem.

today the nfl scandal has everyone paying attention to it. joining me now is william who hadden, the sports columnist for "the new york times" and dana jacobson, host of cbs sports radio. thank you for being here. >> william, what do you make of this possible inconsistency with sources saying ray rice told goodell about the punch back in june? >> you know, number one, the nfl has just got terrible timing. terrible timing. the anniversary of the bill and then this and it's horrible and if you'd have asked me a week ago would the commissioner of the national football league arguably the most -- be getting ready on the verge of being fired, i would say no way but the fact that there's been one kind of cover-up after another and almost sounds like the good old boys club or we're just going to take care of this, now they're throwing ray rice under

the bus, ray rice, wait a minute, if i got to go, i told you i punched her, you know, it's just -- it's just -- it's just a terrible thing but i think the good thing about it for a lot of people of us who grew up in a household where we didn't see this kind of stuff this is the face of domestic violence. >> because you're looking at it. >> what do you think? >> that videotape put a face to it. when people were so shocked what do you think domestic violence looks like because we knew back in july there were reports of exactly what happened. that he hit her, that she fell back and hit ray bar, she passed out in the elevator. we saw the external video from outside the elevator and people still seemed so shocked. the callousness that he had in carrying her out of the elevator, dragging her, not even carrying her, that should have been -- you would think that should have been enough for -- >> it was not in most people's reality what domestic violence -- >> not at all. >> really looks like. >> i guess the problem -- the

problem is that morality was nowhere involved in this. it was protecting the corporate shield, protecting the investors. if -- >> but it was therefore the fans. as soon as that two-game suspension came out there was at least this cry of that'sry kick because but everybody backed off. >> let me bring that to you, william, late today we learn why the league banned rice indefinitely. the quote is he notified the players association, ray rice was suspended indefinitely because his version of the february altercation with the then fiancee was starkly different than the one shown on the video that surfaced earlier this week. now, there seems to be a real dispute over what happened in that meeting. >> well, yeah, but the end of it rice is saying that i told him that i slugged her. i guess when i was talking about morality. if you were roger goodell or me or whatever a and we're looking at that video through the prism of a father or the prism of a

brother or the -- >> of a son. >> if you're looking at that prism, it's over. you don't have to see anything else than seeing your mother, sister or your daughter being dragged. when you look at that through the prism of a corporate shield who's got to protect investors and the shield your morality is suspended. that's why it's such an issue. >> let me ask you this, dana because at the ravens game yesterday, i've been waiting to ask you this, a number of female fans wore ray rice jerseys and said they supported him. listen -- >> i think the ray rice being the sacrificial lamb, i'm a little disappointed in that. >> i think it's ridiculous. i think it's a shame that his college has taken down his accomplishments. >> i feel they're making an example out of ray rice. he's not the first and there's domestic violence everywhere and i feel like everybody deserves a second chance. >> other people who have done

worse and done other things and they're all still playing. >> what do you make of this? >> i'm feeling my father's voice in my head because everybody else is jumping off a bridge doesn't make it okay. is ray rice a scapegoat? no, ray rice did wrong. ray rice is being used as an example. you bet. and finally it is about time that a pro sports league stepped up and didn't just say, you know, we're not okay with domestic violence, actually something is being done about it. they didn't do enough with a two-game suspension, didn't go back once they handled out a new domestic violence policy and changed it. at this point did they get to the right decisiony perhaps not the right way but it was the right decision. i've heard a lot of women who said the exact same thing. it's sad to me. sad to me that you're looking at it more as football than as he backhanded -- he hit his then fiancee now wife and dragged her -- >> then it's not like -- >> it's amazing. >> there's no compassion in any of this. a lot of times -- oh, my god, what have i done? it's almost like he was like --

get up. >> well, let me bring this one to you, by, the owner of the california -- carolinaers teared up about his commitment to fighting domestic violence. listen. >> my stance is not one of indifference. i stand firmly against domestic violen violence plain and simple. >> but a player on -- of the panthers, greg hardy was found guilty of domestic violence over this summer. his ex-girlfriend testified he dragged her by her hair, room to room. she said he was clutching her throat and threatening to kill her. >> yeah, meanwhile, he's playing. that's why i'm saying. you got an owner tearing up but his guy who gets five sacks is playing. and i think -- >> but he's also -- he's

appealing in fairness he's appealing the guilty verdict but today we learned he'll be in the lineup for sunday's panther game. i mean so despite the words and the tearing up of the owner, greg hardy is still playing on sunday. i mean does this indicate the nfl still has a whole lot of work to do. >> you know, here's the problem. you got jerry jones who's facing a sexual abuse case. owner of the dallas cowboys. you've got the indianapolis colts owner who is in drug rehab. you have the colt -- the new england patriots franchise that was busted for cheating and also they hired a guy who is now in prison for murder and gave him all money until -- i'm saying, all this stuff starts from the top. this is the top is doing what, winning ball games. we got to win ball games and the morality is kind of over here. morality is what happens at home but not here. not here. that's the problem. there's a complete moral and ethical -- >> how do we break it up, dana?

in this teachable moment, do we learn a lesson or is it just something that will go out with the next -- >> i hope we learn a lesson from two weeks from now we're still talking about it. in greg hardy's case, the coach deactivated him. let his legal process play out and let him get play. i don't think the owners will get rid of goodell unless they find out he lied or -- >> or if nike pulls out. >> when you see nike pull out or the big hertz -- when you see that pull out he's out. as long as this league is printing money he has a job -- >> you're right, morality is secondary. >> we will be watching. dana jakeson and william whoden, thank you for your time tonight. coming up, president obama's battle plans for isis gets a key boost and surprising support from republicans and we'll hear

from martin luther king iii about gop efforts to roll back his father's legacy on voting rights including in his home state of georgia. also, we'll tell you why president obama and clinton were together at the white house and show you one girl's hilarious reaction to the president's surprise visit to her school. >> di tell you somebody special was coming. >> i really wanted it to be beyonce. >> i understand. malia and sasha would feel the same way. >> did the first lady say next? that's ahead.

♪ chicken parm you taste so good ♪ ♪ nationwide is on your side ♪ mmm mmm mmm mm mmm mm mmmmmm just two days after his prime time address to the nation, president obama's moving full steam ahead with his plan to defeat the terrorist group isis. he's tapped the marine general who oversaw the war in afghanistan to lead the international effort, secretary of state john kerry is in turkey building global support for the new campaign and two more u.s.

air strikes were launched against isis targets in northern iraq bringing the total number of strikes to 158 and now a big endorsement from general david petraeus who's credited with defeating isis back when it was known as al qaeda in iraq. petraeus says the president's plan of attack is the right one. >> i thought that the president made a very strong statement last night about the threat posed by isil, a very compelling argument about the need to combat that threat and a good point of departure for our strategy. >> and the majority of americans agree. nearly two-thirds of americans, 62% support military action against isis and 61% oppose boots on the ground in iraq.

joining me now is e.j. dionne. e.j., thank you. >> good to be with you, reverend. >> e.j., how important is that endorsement from general petraeus? >> well, it's a polite show so i won't quote the full joe biden but it's a big deal. general petraeus obviously has a lot of respect from a lot of people who are usually critics of president obama, but i think there's something he particularly understands. he made the surge work in iraq because he managed and at that time the iraqis government managed to win over sunni muslims who have since that time really been disrespected and shut out by the iraqis government but he brought them to the cause and one of the first components of president obama's policy was to say to the iraqis government, you need -- we need a more inclusive iraqis

government. we need sunni muslims to have buy-in. it can't just be a shiite muslim-led regime and so i think he has a basic sympathy, not just with the particulars that president obama laid out but with his overall approach and where he's put his emphasis. >> now, e.j., in your writings this week, i was reading about several of your points, but here's what struck me. when you talked about the isis threat is impacting the president's foreign policy legacy and read the quote, "circumstances have presented obama with both an opportunity and an obligation to steer u.s. policy toward a middle course that acknowledges a need for american leadership and the careful use of american power while avoiding commitments that are beyond the country's capacity to sustain." it is the balance we have been seeking since an awful day in september shook us to our core."

elaborate on that, e.j. >> well, i think since the awful events of 9/11, we have really been off balance as a country and it's understandable. we were very shaken by that and we went from a period of if you will hyper-engagement and fought a war in iraq that i think a majority of americans now regret we went into to a period where we were really saying to ourself, we don't really want to have much to do out there at all. and i think that the nature of the united states' role in the world now is, yes, we do need to concentration on nation building at home as the president likes to say, but we have an obligation to lead and to face up to threats like isis. and so i think what the president is trying to do is to say, we don't have to have a foreign policy based on a full invasion of iraq, but we can hit back against this enemy with a carefully calibrated policy and i think with some republicans

starting to come along, you're seeing the possibility of the careful use of american power and i was careful to use that word "careful" because i think americans are willing to use power but they don't want to use it in ways we get. >> about republicans coming along, as we mentioned, the american public is behind the president and for the first time it sounds like republicans in congress are supporting this too. listen to this. >> congress will work with the administration to ensure our forces have the resources they need to carry out these missions. >> we stand ready to work with the president to put in place a plan that would destroy and defeat isil. frankly, we have to give the president what he's asking for. >> e.j., when is the last time you heard john boehner said we ought to give the president what he's asking for? >> well, you know, when i heard the two of them say what they said, i only wished that we could attach a minimum wage

increase and expanded pre-k to a war resolution and then we'd really be talking about bipartisanship. but i think they realize, you know, some republicans, senator mccain among them, dick cheney have criticized the president for not going far enough, they question his strategy and there are some legitimate questions to be asked. but i think speaker boehner and senator mcconnell know perfectly well that president obama's gone about as far as americans want to go. americans are willing to go, majorities are willing to go with forces on the ground but they don't want another war in iraq with full combat engagement by americans, so i think they're reading the same polls as the president is and the rest of us are. i think there is going to be some reluctance on the democratic side. i think there are democrats who oppose the iraq war, who have some real questions about how much we want to get re-engaged in iraq.

nonetheless, i took that as a hopeful sign maybe we can start rebuilding the foreign policy consensus we had before the iraq war. >> e.j. dionne, thank you for your time this evening. have a great weekend. >> good to be with you, reverend. coming up, a rare joint appearance from two presidents who are talking about the power of public service and president obama's had some great moments with kids over the years and we've got another one tonight. what does beyonce have to do with it? the answer is ahead. stay with us.

today at the white house, two presidents and a reminder of the power of public service. president obama was joined by president clinton to mark the 20th anniversary of americorps. president obama talked about his

own experiences as a community organizer, a young man who turned down lucrative law firm jobs to help the less fortunate in chicago. >> for those of you who know my story starting off as a community organizer i would not be standing here if it were not for service to others. and the purpose that service gave my own life. as it turned out, the idea of making a difference in other people's lives made a difference in mine. >> we've heard some on the right denigrate public service but we can't let those voices discredit or discourage us. just look at all those young men and women at the white house today, volunteers willing to work for the greater good and we should always be proud to stand up and work together for something greater than ourselves. ♪

elections less than two months away. right now 300,000 voters in wisconsin don't have the i.d. they need. that's about 9% of the state's voting population. all across america, republicans are getting more and more blatant in their effort to support -- suppress the vote. consider the races in arkansas, georgia and north carolina. each of them is close. each of those states has a high african-american electorate particularly in georgia where 30% of the electorate is black and what do you know, republi n republicans in each of those states have enacted new voting restrictions on new voter i.d. law, cuts in early voting and eliminating voting sites on college campuses. these are brazen efforts to suppress democratic voters and they're exactly why the first lady among many other democrats say we need to be ready for

november. >> we have all of the votes we need right now to win these races if -- if we get folks registered and if we get them out to vote in november. you need to step up and get everyone you know out to vote this november. that's what's at stake in these elections, the kind of country we want to leave for our kids and grandkids. >> joining me now is martin luther king iii, martin, thank for being here. >> thank you, reverend. >> a new voter i.d. law in effect for the midterm elections. what do you make of all these new restrictions in an election year? >> well, naturally, it is the politics at its worse. i mean we really should always be creating opportunities for more people to vote using all of the latest technology, not restricting. these are efforts that are

restricting people's rights to vote and that's a tragedy in 2014. >> now, you and i were at the hearings around the voting rights act at the supreme court where we basically saw the neutralizing of section 5 but it opened the door to states to start changing laws and ground zero is georgia where your father and mother raised you and your sisters and brother and where the civil rights movement caught fire right in georgia. we're seeing, for example, the big voting news we saw in georgia this week, a republican state senator angry about a new voting location, state senator fran miller posted on facebook "now we are to have sunday voting at south dekalb mall just prior to the election. this location is dominated by african-american shoppers and it is near several large african-american megachurches.

i would prefer more educated voters than a greater increase in the number of voters." i mean, how do you react to an elected official saying this? >> well, actually republicans and everyone needs to speak out against that. i think there's even a greater thing. there's been a group in georgia that is registering, has registered nearly 100,000 new voters. and maybe 5 or 6 or 12 of those applications there may be some problems with, maybe, and so now the republican attorney general is saying there is voter fraud and potentially so there are a lot of efforts that unfortunately republicans are working on. at the end of the day it's politics at its worse, not politics at its best. we must stand up and say this is unacceptable and, again, i know that there are good men and women in the republican party just as in the democratic party just as in the independent party who are willing to stand up. >> you know, you mention that because the serious effort under way in georgia to register more

voters that you mentioned, the group called the new georgia project is the one you are referring to, i believe led by a democratic state lawmaker has collected almost 100,000 vote, 85,000 to be exact and now after all the success, the republican secretary of state began investigating the group and here's what he says. >> we're just not going to put up with fraud. we have zero tolerance for that in georgia so we started an investigation and served some subpoenas. at the end of the day this is not about politics, this is about potential fraud which we think has happened. >> potential fraud, not about politics, but at the end of the day it's going after people registering voters that's running parallel with people like the state senator i quoted saying that they're concerned about african-american voters, shoppers, churches, i mean, it seems like a clear strategy to suppress black votes. >> there's no question that it

is. i mean because again even those nearly 100,000 are registrant, not all of them but a large -- the majority of them are african-americans so this effort is very serious and, again, i think the georgians must stand up and say we want to make it easier for everyone to vote. certainly we don't want to see fraud and we don't believe that is the case. >> your father gave his life to democratize this country, bring voting rights to others. your mother continued that effort. as you sit there as martin luther king iii, how do you feel with this kind of threat to what is happening in our country and to the legacy of your blood father and mother? >> well, i certainly feel very sad initially that that is where we are. we should be further along and i would say that we can and we must do better. we are a better nation than the behavior that we're exhibiting at this particular time. we are much better nation than the behavior that we're exhibiting. >> martin luther king iii, thank

you for the time. have a great weekend. >> all right. rev, thank you. >> now let me bring in dana milbank and angelo wright. thank you both for being here. dana, has voter suppression now become part of the gop election strategy? >> well, it certainly is in the short term here and i think what you see going on, reverend, is they see what is basically a demographic tsunami coming their way and the country is becoming less and less white and that is if the republicans stay on the course they're on will wipe out the republican party so what they're trying to do is basically build some sand castles on the beach to hold off that tsunami and try to knock a few more voters off the roll. that may help them here and there in a very close election in the current cycle, the next cycle. in the long run, though, this is just a fool's ererrand than all

that is electing white republicans. >> georgia, we've been talking about voting in georgia. here's why registering voters there is such a big deal. in 2008 president obama lost georgia by about 200,000 votes. in 2012 he lost the state by 300,000 votes. but slate is reporting there are 700,000 unregistered black voters in georgia. doesn't that explain all these new voting restrictions? >> it absolutely explains it, rev. i think the bigger thing that we have to look at is just last summer, you know, your organization and so many others came together to commemorate the march on washington. the signing of the civil rights act, you know, this summer and the freedom summer and the fact that none of these can be celebrations because we're just reminded about why we have to continue to fight. of course, next year is the commemoration of the voting rights act and there's a voting rights amendment act before the

house of representatives that can't even get consideration so this isn't about a new georgia project. the new face of georgia, this is about the browning of america and the fact these folks in the republican party are so privileged, are so entitled that they don't have to fight fairly for the your right to -- or for their right to earn your vote. they have to fight unfairly by kinding you out of the polls, by cutting back early voting by ensuring you have to pay for an expensive identification identification that you can't afford that in texas you have to drive 200 miles to go get. they' they're not fighting fairy and we have to call them on the carpet. their tactics are dead and teed to call them on why they don't have a place in this country. >> yeah, it's a very cynical strategy, but, dana, in these senate races, can these strategies have a real impact on the results of the senate races and who will be in the majority of the senate come november? >> of course they can and that's

what i'm saying in the long run this is what they're doing is a fool's errand. in the short run if an election is going to be decided by a few thousand votes in a state and a lot of these, you know, half dozen or so seats that will determine the outcome of the senate majority, a lot of those are razor thin margins so, of course, this can affect it. that's what's occurring here in the short run. the statistic you cited about the potential voters who haven't registered, it's appalling and then there's also all the registered voters who don't vote. if more people would be participating our system would not be in the control of extremists as it is right now. that's -- there certainly wouldn't be any sort of a republican wave going on in this election and the whole politics of the country would be a lot better because everybody in the middle which is where most americans are would be having a voice. >> and -- >> not only the senate races but the governor races. i want to get to that quickly

because we're running out of time. you know, we talked about the senate races but the governor race, angela, could have a huge impact too. democrats running for governor in five states, florida, maine, kansas, wisconsin and georgia say they expand medicaid if they won. that would cover 1.7 million more americans. i mean, this election just isn't about washington, isn't that something democrats need to emphasize more, angela? >> yeah, i think we saw this with, you know, folks trying to repeal obamacare. this really shouldn't be political at all. access to health care is a fundamental right for every american in this country and i think that surprisingly around election time when you have to start, you know, rallying your base and making the tent bigger folks seem to remember that so absolutely, the answer is yes. >> dana milbank, angela rye, thank you for your time. have a great weekend. >> thanks, reverend.

ghostbuster came on the show and i asked him if he was surprised "ghostbusters" had become the cultural phenomenon it has. >> you know, when i read the script i knew it would be -- it was really special and when i met the guys i knew it would be a hit so i wasn't surprised by that. but after about ten years, people were still loving the movie and 20 years and now 30 years people have their jumpsuits and their backpacks, their turning the cars into ectomobiles. that's a surprise. >> mentioned the guys. how was it working with bill murray and dan aykroyd and harold ramis. >> they had worked together an "saturday night live" and spent a lot of years together so they were kind of like family but they were very inclusive. it was great working with them. i laughed more doing "ghostbusters" than any movie i made. i've been very blessed to have a good career. but, yeah, it was a lot of fun on the set. >> i want to play you some of the most memorable clips from "ghostbusters." let's watch this. >> what happened? are you okay. >> he slimed me.

>> that's great. >> okay, who brought the dog? [ screaming ] >> i think we better split up. >> good idea. >> yeah, we can do more damage that way. >> i got to tell you these things are real. since i joined these men, i have seen [ bleep ] that will turn you white. >> are you a god? >> no. >> then die! >> ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say yes. >> i mean what kind of response did you get after the movie came out? >> you know, the movie came out and it was huge. ray parker jr. who is a good friend wrote the song and the song was playing everywhere so if you didn't see the movie you at least heard the song and it

was just -- it was a phenomena. it just became part of our culture. >> i heard that after the movie came out people started coming knocking on your door which was totally unexpected by you. >> i was like the local tourist attraction. if you stopped at the corner grocery store, know that actor ernie hudson he lives at 1476 and people would knock on the door, oh, my god, it's really you so it just became overbearing. i used to tell the joke i went to hollywood to be rich and famous. i never realized you could be poor and popular. >> you had some pretty member randall lines in both movies. let me play one of those. watch this. >> sure. >> well, let's say this twinkie represents the normal amount of psycho kinetic energy in the new york area. according to this morning's sample it would be a twinkie 30 feet long weighing approximately 600 pounds. >> that's a big twinkie. >> say quite a few lines, you make a movie, say the lines hope somebody will hear it first and

remember. the fact they're still quoting it 30 years later that's quite a compliment. >> now you mentioned you've been acting 50 years. >> yes. >> what did "ghostbusters" mean to you and your career? >> well -- >> 30 years ago. >> when the movie came out i was under the impression if you're in a major movie that that changes your career and "ghostbusters" didn't change my career in the way i wanted it to but what it did, it sort of endeared me to the fangs but hollywood and the fans are two separate things and so what i -- it forced me to do was dig deeper and to keep working so i did a lot of television that, you know, a lot of things i wouldn't have normally done. >> been on "oz." "mod dern family". >> i've done 50 years of work but i was -- i am the working actor. >> what about "ghostbusters 3." >> the fans tell me all the rumors. i would love to see another movie. the fans i believe want another movie. the studio for whatever reason hasn't been able to make it

happen. >> an all female cast. >> which doesn't sound like a good idea to me. you know what i'm saying. >> well, i want you to know that you and "ghostbusters" 30 years later are still the hottest thing in many of our home. >> thank you so much. i want to give you this ghostbuster t-shirt if you don't already have one. so on behalf of the ghostbusters keep on busting. >> ghostbuster. i'll wear this the next time i see a tea party rally. thank you, ernie. thank you so much. ernie hudson, thank you for being on this show and joining us on the 30th anniversary, screenings and blu-ray release of "ghostbusters" movie is out september 16th. coming up, "saturday night live" is making history again. we have some real news about the fake news and it will make you
