. >> steve liesman joins us with more and paul walsh vice president at weather analytics. steve, how seriously do you think the fed takes the economic impact that this is going to have on the economy, and does it change the way that they do the pull back in economic stimulus? >> i think they take it very seriously. because they really want to know what the underlying trend is. then you have a situation where we have some weakness in the economy, and we don't aonays know what's attributable to weather and what isn't. because a lot of times with corporations that miss on their earnings, it's a convenient excuse. the same may also go for politicians so we don't know. what we do know we look at the graphics that i showed you earlier that my good friend paul walsh puts together for us. we look at how much colder and snowier it's been than normal. we see unusual data. that makes us think that maybe some of the weakness is coming from the snow. tyler's fact earlier, one in three, it's the greater population that is affected by this that is really the key to what's different about

joining us now to discuss the economic impact is paul walsh. obal director of weather strategy with ibm services.o paul, thanksch for being with us. >> hi there, guys. >> when do we start to see the o economic impac the stifling heat? >> well, yes, it is a great question because we actually start toee the impact ohe heat before the heat gets here. participate of the reason is because the weather forecasts are getting really, really good and most of usre walking around with a mobile phone, so ee are all expecting it. so peore already planning for this heat. of course, by the time we get into the weekend it is already hot now frankly, but by the time we get into this w be -- we're going to be seeing the hottest temperatures we have seen in several years in the big cities in the northeast, so it will be a very, very significant impact. but it is not going to be as big an impact as itould be if it lasted longer than what we're currently expecting. >> give us an example. i mean people who work out side, out there for be long or, you know, other areas

. >>> paul walsh joins us now to talk more about the snowstorm and the impact he thinks it will have s. he's vice president of weather strategy at the weather company. paul, welcome. good to have you with us. when retailers lose a weekend like this, and many of them will, it would seem, in the mid-atlantic states, do they ever get those sales back? >> yeah, they pretty much do. and typically what happens when you have a storm like this is there are three phrases. the first phase, what i call the forecast factor. literally when predictions of the storm comes out and it basically drives the surge of sales we're seeing at stores now like walmart and home depot and lowe's that are getting masses of people coming in. what ends up happening is they get a huge spike in sales. then when the actual storm hits people are hunkering down, they're not out shopping, but after the storm is over you generally see those sales come back over the next few days. >> paul, the insurers, though, really are on the line for this because this is a massive storm with several components to it. we may have trees

paul walsh joins us. he's vice president with weather analytics, analyzes weather impact on spending trends, and he joins us tonight. good to see you again, paul. welcome back. >> hi, thank you. >> so, how much warmer is it in most parts of the nation than it normally is at this time of year? >> well, across the entire eastern half of the country, it's been, especially the northeast and midwest, which is really where it matters as it relates to national retailers, it's been 10, 15, even 20 degrees warmer than normal, which is obviously very unusual for november and really bad news for department store retailers, as we are seeing. >> yeah, we have seen department store retailers use weather as an excuse in the past, and i say excuse in quotes, but this time it sounds like perhaps there really is a legitimate reason why consumers aren't buying. >> yes. >> will they, do you think, get off the couch, though, as we get closer to thanksgiving and closer to christmas? >> yeah, they definitely will. and there's tw

. >> tonight, john nichols of the nation magazine tells us exactly who paul ryan is. joan walsh and e.j. dionne on the president's counterpunch today on the campaign trail. now's terry o'neal on what romney/ryan means for women. james hoffa of the teamsters and larry cohen of the cwa on what the ryan pick means for lar. >>> and vermont senator bernie sanders on paul ryan's medicare lie. >> there's only one president that i know of in history that robbed medicare $716 billion. paul ryan and i talked about saving medicare. >> good to have you with us tonight, folks. thanks for watching. it choices in the 2012 presidential election have never been as clear as they are tonight. mitt romney's announcement of congressman paul ryan to be on the ticket as his running mate has the republican base all excited. the roll-out no doubt positive, probably the best thing romney has had because he's had a rough summer. and the choice takes any controversy off the table that might have come up at the republican convention later this month. they're going to like this. conservatives are happy. pres

. >> joining me now is paul gattis, kurt bardella and joan wal walsh. let me begin with you if i can. on friday and saturday roy moore indicated that he had information on his accusers that would, quote, cast doubt on "the washington post" story. any indication whatsoever of when that information will be released, what it might even be? >> well, as far as the timeline of when the information may be released, the sooner the better, because this story is obviously turning into a tsunami and it's threatening to take down roy moore's campaign. as far as what it might be, one of the accusers once performed sign language at an event where hillary clinton was speaking. i suspect there will probably be efforts to link one or more of the accusers to democrats because that's going to resonate with people in republican heavy alabama. but really roy moore has kept that close to the vest and we don't really know what he's going to be saying to try to clear himself. >> interesting connection there. let me ask you this, paul. i know some national republicans did pull t

. >>> a former senior advisor to rand paul and joan walsh, national affairs correspondent for the nationlso an msnbc political analyst. >> president clinton having a democratic senate is an increasing possibility. >> we don't know, lawrence. we have to see if the soft.ing will happen. the times might regret getting out in front of this prediction, they might have egg on their faces, judging from the trend lines in the polls there is a good chance she will have a democratic senate. the basics are always there, republicans defending more seats than democrats, 24-10. even without somebody like trump, i think democrats were excited about it. with trump, it's obvious he's bringing people way down. pat toomey is in trouble. it's interesting who is and isn't, rob portman in ohio seems to be hanging on and building a bigger lead. clinton has a small lead in ohio. ohio will be interesting. a variation. we see a lot of people like kelly ayotte being dragged down. we have to see if people wind up having to distance thepsz. >> what are you hearing from republican senators like rand paul you're close

patrick walsh and paul campo have a couple dozen years' experience swimming with sharks. >> definitely an adrenaline junkie and really enjoy the outdoors. scuba diving is a new passion for me. always wanted to be in the water. >> i've been diving for about 28 years. as soon as i break the surface of that water, all those problems that are going on in everyday life just disappear and i'm just alone with myself and the creatures in the ocean. >> always seeking new adventure, the two head south, where the big boys play. >> this site is off the island of guadalupe. it's about?-- i think about 160 miles off the coast of baja, california. >> i had a little bit of apprehension on the way out about being that close to the top predator in the ocean. >> it takes them a full 24 hours to reach their destination, but the payoff is spectacular. >> because you've got really warm water and tons of sharks. yeah, on the first day we definitely had an exciting moment. we had a shark actually?-- a big female come in and she grabbed hold of one of the baits. >> and right at the bottom where i was filming o

back now with our panel, paul begala, dana loesch and joan walsh, a few years back, olbermann's editorh's criticisms of political contributions seem utterly hypocritical now that it's clear he's done the same thing, would you say? >> i don't know. the guy -- he's a liberal, obviously, and he gave money to liberals, congressman grijalva is the chairman of the progressive caucus and keith's a progressive. i suppose what's fair for one, obviously, he did criticize fox news, which gave $1 million, and that was apparently legal under the citizens united ruling from the supreme court. so i guess it's -- you know, it's not my network, it's not my job, it seems to me an employment dispute. msnbc says he violated the rule so i guess they've got to sanction him for him, but to me it's not that big a deal. >> you're not surprised at all? you don't think anybody be surprised due to his opinions on the air? >> i'd be surprised if he gave money to michele bachmann, but it seems to me, not even dog bites man, it's like dog barks. what the heck? >> joan, you know keith but you think the decision may b

the arrival of a top republican, senator rand paul willing to say the country's number one hawk has no claws. david mill bank, joan walsh is an msnbc political analyst and editor at larnl for salon. rand paul's strategic bombing of dick cheney in 2009 just before paul announced his plans for the united states senate is worth another look today, as we assess the shortage of voices today defending cheney, or denouncing rand paul. let's watch. >> there's a great youtube of dick cheney in 1995 defending push number 1. he goes on for about five minutes. i think by the american enterprise institute. and he says it would be a disaster, it would be a civil war. there would be no exit strategy. dick cheney said it would be a bad idea and that's why the first bush didn't go into baghdad. then dick cheney works for halliburton, makes hundreds of thousands of dollars then he's back in government and then says it would be a good idea to go into iraq. >> published reaction from liz cheney, the daughter of dick cheney who said it's not surprising since senator paul often seems to get his foreign policy talking pointing from rachel mad

walsh of "time" magazine. he writes the cover story lessons from the storm. paul barrett assistants managing editor and senior writer of bloomberg businessweek. his cover story is called it's global warming, stupid. and by phone steve coll of the new yorker magazine. i am pleased to have all of them here at this table. steve, this is what you have said. new yorkers like to tell stories about their extraordinary resilience. there's truth in these stories as we've seen in the past few days. the rescue and cooperation devastated communities. the absence of looting the well rehearsed emergency response protocols by many institutions and government. there is a collective sense of denial too about how poorly presented the city is for events of this scale. how poorly prepared have we been, steve? >> well, very, especially about flood waters. irene, tropical storm irene was only six months ago and the water, you remember, washed right up to the top of the battery but didn't come over. it wasn't hard to image then what a surge of ten or 11 or 12 feet higher might have done

. >> joan walsh has the latest. >>> paul ryan has a dirty little secret in his budget and the cooperations love it. david k. johnston on the tax shelter plan that no one is talking about. >>> good to have you with us. thanks for watching. republicans have spent the last few days attacking the president for saying made the right call when he ordered the raid on bin laden. they have also hammered the president's team for questioning whether mitt romney would have made the same decision. the president is not backing down. >> i just recommend that everybody take a look at people's previous statements in whether they thought it was appropriate to go into pakistan and take out bin laden. i assume that people meant what they said when they said it. that's been, at least, my practice. i said that i'd go after bin laden if we had a clear shot at him, and i did. if there are others who have said one thing and now suggest they'd do something else, then i'd go ahead and let them explain. >> the president was responding to a remark mitt romney made earlier today. >> mitt romney tried to use jimmy carte

a lot about rand paul that rachel maddow uncovered. senator walshlanation it could have been his war experience, not to discount his war experience but lifting a masters thesis for the war college? >> the reality is that, look, if he was suffering from ptsd, and no one is disputing that, that is one thing. deciding to plagiarize at least a quarter of your masters thesis at the war college is another. i think some people would say, look, if it was -- you are struggling that much go to your professors and say i'm having a very difficult time. i nid a break and i'll come back. the problem is at the end of the day, no matter what the context was, he passed off work that wasn't his as his own. in another place, i don't think this is a campaign killer, andrea, but this, as you mentioned in the open, this was already a very hard seat to hold. he needed to run a close to perfect campaign and this, obviously is not in that blueprint. >> it does raise questions about the democrats' vetting process because this was an appointed seat. he got the seat because ma

paul whelan in prison. and from london, nick paton walsh, who sat down with victor bout for the very last interview he ever did with the western reporter. we want to start with phil mattingly. what are you reporting, phil? >> you know anderson, there were months of fits and starts, arduous negotiations, where this really crystallized over the course of the last 72 hours. just a few days ago, brittney griner was removed from a penal connally to moscow, a clear and concrete signal to administration officials that what had long been thought as a possible deal was very much coming together. they summoned cherelle griner to the white house, telling her that she was going to get an update. national security adviser, jake sullivan, about ho w things were going. however, cherelle griner arrived, she was actually lead back into the oval office not knowing exactly what was going on. there, she was met by president biden, it was president biden who had told his team, he wanted to deliver the message. the message that the deal had been complete. britney griner was on her way home, the two were speaking when president

walsh, thank you. it's truly a failed state and even more chaos. now our terrorism analyst is with me paulruickshank, along with clemente. things are getting worse and worse, more disarray and chaos. your sources are saying that the threats are not over. sure they are monitoring hundreds of people in europe but there's a big risk of a big attack? >> absolutely. the game changer is that european intelligence sources detected a pivot from isis towards launching attacks in europe launching attacks against the west specifically to retaliate for the air strikes. a number of european countries have been conducting air strikes on isis in iraq the united kingdom, france holland and belgium and denmark. and so those targets are most at risk from isis. isis are now trying to persuade up to 1,000 european recruits they have in their ranks in syria and iraq to return some of them to launch attacks. that's a big game changer given all of the resources that this group has got, erin. >> it is a game changer. with you tim, when you hear that europe is being part of the air strikes, the country conducting

according to politico, the nra claims paul wasn't invited simply because they couldn't accommodate all the 2016 hopefuls. joining me now, joan walshor at large for salon. i love this story. >> it's a great story. >> there's a few things here. one, it strikes me that rand paul, like chris christie, is someone that likes fighting, likes arguing, likes being in beefs with people. derives some sense of personal satisfaction from it. >> he enjoys it personally and politically. he wants to show to the right that he's a guy who will stand up to female journalists on the one hand and the nra, let's point out, on the other hand. >> the rights of the narrative is, oh, this guy, he's a jerk, like, he's beefing the nra too. >> i've come around to that point too. >> equal opportunity! i'm happy to see that. but, you know, the nra, he's right, in a way, they are being very petty. he does have an a rating and he is a top tier candidate, like it or not. it's sort of strange, unless you look at the nra as a big racket, which it is, and he's with this other racket. on the other hand, the other rackets are really pretty shady operations, too. it's h
