richie, i'll ask you. some other unlike some other democratic leaning counties across the state, the republicans on your county board orally joined with you in wanting to expand early voting hours in the county. why do you think they orally went along with that when republican in a lot of other democratic counties were voting no on that? >> well, i think that they knew it was the right thing to do at the time they cast that vote. to let the people of the county vote. we had made that commitment to them in two previous board meetings where they had appeared, and the republican board members voted to allow weekend voting. >> let me ask this. to either of you. in terms of the technical matter here at hand, the secretary of state issued some guidelines about essentially standardizing some of the early voting hours, and it seemed from the most people's reading of those guidelines that he was saying there would be no early voting on weekends and there would be some minimal expanded early votings -- extending ear

he is richie neal. he was richie neal to me when i was working on the staff of the senate finance policy, he was a member of the ways and means committee working on tax policy. most of you have never heard his voice because his approach to congressional life has always been about carefully doing the work and the homework, including carefully doing the work for his constituents in western massachusetts so he is always re-elected, but never seeking the limelight in washington. richie neal has had an open invitation to be on this program every night since the democrats won the house of representatives, and full disclosure, i think of him as a friend of mine, and he won't do this show because he doesn't want or need the attention. richie neal is the opposite of donald trump in every good way that you can be the opposite of donald trump. tonight donald trump has no idea what he is up against in richie neal. but i, for one, have no doubt who is going to win. richie neal is going to get donald trump's tax retu

now you've got some of these players defending richie incognito. what's your take on this? >> my take on it is that none of this behavior would fly at msnbc or in any other workplace. but i wonder if there's a special set of rules and circumstances that kick in when it's an nfl locker room. and tamron, i'm thinking about a legal case that was litigated within the last couple of years in california where there was some really baudy language used in it the writers room in hollywood. the finding was the different set of circumstances applies. there's a creative process in the locker room where there's going to be what would otherwise be regarded as sexual harassment. there's going to be foul language. this is part and parcel what they do to come up with scripts. i'm not sure the nfl is ready for typical workplace rules to apply to the league generally. if they're all closing ranks around this guy, it would seem that there would need to be a seat change to bring about more decorum. >> we've seen people close ranks, police investigations, the list goes on and on. it doesn't make

richie is honorary. i don't expect you to understand because you're not black, but being a black guy, being a brother is more than just about skin color. it's about how you carry yourself. how you play, where you come from, what you've experienced, why do you think fellow players, some of -- this is -- this is very odd to me, and i think it's very odd to a lot of other folks who read that. what is that -- what does that even mean? an honorary black guy? >> it's murky. clearly, listen. he's a guy playing with a lot of black teammates and you could see a situation where words like the "n" word are thrown around among black players and maybe among richie incognito in that ca case. it's acceptable because he's one of us and one of the gang and it's a joking thing. there's no way for us to understand whatever the dynamic might have been. one thing that is interesting that a former opposing player of incognito, warren sapp said that he was called the "n" word by incognito during a game at one point and he thou

i'm richie incognito.rly aggressive. >> richie incognito in a psa that now seems highly ironic as he tells fans to avoid hooliganism while he's in the locker room supposedly tough toughening up martin. this whole thing taking place in the pro sports locker room where men are at their manliest and all manner of social craziness is apparently demanded. i guess i don't understand the locker room, this lord of the flies paradise where boys can be hierarchical boys, a place that has no relationship to society. yeah, right. brandon marshall, the great chicago bears wideout, said, we valida validate girls' feelings, teaching men to mask their feelings, not show their feelings and it's that times 100 with football players. can't show you're hurt, can't show pain. so for a guy to come into the locker room and show vulnerability, that's a problem. that's what we have to change. why must masculinity be conflated with hardness? one of the greatest lines in hip-hop history, he says, f being hard, it was complicated. ma

so this is so much more than a richie incognito issue. it is an issue the way bernie madoff is a madoff issue. as trotter's reporting shows and at the blind comment by nfl personnel director shows. >> it's a biggish issue about us as a society. not just people with the nfl that said martin should man up. i talked to somebody earlier today, he's a big guy, bigger than incognito, should have punched him. and maybe initially when you see the story you think a big football player, why didn't he go after him, but he shouldn't have to because it is a workplace, to your point. he shouldn't have to brawl it out. and this notion of toughening him up, he made it to the nfl. he's pretty tough. >> and anybody who is hes that jonathan martin should have manned up, seriously needs to hit themselves over the head with a polo mallet until they think it through more quickly. we have to redefine our very definition of what we mean by moon manhood and adulthood. the real man in this twisted upsidedown logic is the bully and the person not a man is the perso

this is from one of the giants players on wfan radio. >> richie incognito alone?hink the other guy is more to blame as richie because he allowed it to happen. at this level, you're a man. you know, you're not a little boy. you know, you're not a freshman in college. you're a man. so i think everything has its limits. there's no way another man is going to make me comopay for something i don't want to pay for. >> we need to radically redefine in the nfl what is meant to be a man. to me, being a real grownup, being a real man, if you will, is standing up and saying i'm not going to allow this behavior to happen. being a real man is not putting up your fist said. it's not a schoolyard, not a frat house. it's a multibillion dollar business and people have a right to expect work place safety in the context of the national football league. >> dave, thank you very much. >>> big victory for new jersey governor chris christie. >> thank you very much. >> so, does this win spell out something bigger and better for his future? and can christie convince the hard right he's a c

he is richie e. neal but i've always known him as richie neal. >> that's how i've always known him. there are questions among democrats who are saying, what is chairman neal doing? he has the right to demand these tax returns and he isn't doing it. you can see it is just a meticulously crafted piece. he has found exactly what tax returns and tax return information he wants, especially beyond the personal returns from the trump businesses. and that surely took quite a while to figure out exactly which trump businesses to go after. >> what do you make, lawrence, of the fact -- especially because you've known him for a long time. what do you make of the fact that he's not doing any interviews at all about this strategy or about this request he's now made of the irs? not only did he not do any interviews leading up to it, but he's not doing any interviews on tv, doesn't appear to be doing any print interviews, either. >> he is the mother of house chairman. i think he understands the position he's in, i think he understands that he has a unique power. he has a superpower. he has a power

you know, i think these allegations come out and you know, and everything is kind of blamed on richie spot. this whole event is really a bit of a black eye to the team, definitely to richie and i think also to the nfl. so it seems like they go into save face mode to try to quiet things down so they can focus on the game they have this week. >> how much is hazing part of the nfl culture? i know it's part of college football. i know it's part of high school football. how much of it shows itself in professional football? >> much less. much less than people would think. my rookie year, 1999, there had been an event in the previous year in new orleans and coach ditka at the time got up in front of the team and told us, he said there will be no hazing in this camp. he said if there's any hazing, the person that does the hazing and person who gets hazed are both out of here. that set the tone for me right away. really, i haven't seen very much hazing. there are certain traditions like when rookies come in, especially if they're high draft picks, that they will take their position group or th

the first guy to stand up for jonathan, any kind of tussle, richie was the first guy there. when they wanted to hang out outside of football, who was together? richie and jonathan. i can't. i'm not in those guys' shoes. i can't explain what's going on. this is video of incognito erupting in a bizarre rage in a south florida bar earlier this year. he has a checkered reputation. he was release bid the st. louis rams for arguing with the team's head coach. and in a poll of nfl players by the sporting news magazine, he was once voted the dirtiest player in the league. on the dolphins' team, several players seemed frustrated with jonathan martin. >> off the field, those two guys were thick as thieves. that they went out together and hung out together. they did a lot of stuff together. so we had a problem with the way they were treating them, he had a funny way of showing it. >> that was the theme we heard repeatedly. without really coming out and saying as much, you got the sense inside that locker room that many of the players kind of side with incognito in this story. >> thank

and richie our cameraman made that decision to keep rolling.e kept rolling. what we found later and certain at at the time is that civilian cars were being targeted by unknown gunmen. and a number of families were killed in cold blood. we were driving in unmarked family, we could have just been a family. there's no way you could have possibly seen accurately who was in that car. and it was fired upon. we, i think, particularly myself, domenic, our producer and richey were convinced it was a mistake that it was a ukrainian -- >> a shot at you. >> as journalists. if anything, the firing intensified after that. really, the hardest thing was to try to get out of the car. it's standard procedure. it's called debussing. we knew we had to debus. two of the team had already got out. the three of us were left. it was a matter of choosing your moment when to get out. you talk about choosing a moment. this is all going so fast. there's so much firing it really is luck if you get out. in our words, it is miraculous. it's that an ambush scenario like this,
