they are all very democratic. the democratic primary will decide the election. you are seeing a racial diversity, ethnic diversity, a diversity of identities that i do not think people think of when they think of boston politics. >> what other races are you keeping an eye on? >> one is detroit. field ofthis candidates narrowed in a runoff to just two contenders for a job which is very important right now. the election itself may be less important compared to what happens after the election. how much power the mayor will even have when there is an emergency manager with sweeping authority. there is also houston. a democratic mayor is running a republicanerm opponent. she was elected mayor of houston, it became the largest american city with an openly gay mayor. you wouldy necessarily stereotype houston, texas. texas, it is worth keeping an eye on what happens there. if you cover politics and policy in this era of budget -- >> you cover politics and policy. what can mayor is expected from washington regarding infant -- regarding infrastructure, the nuts and bolts.

they clearly chose president obama and democrats. they want to continue to rebuild this economy from the middle class out. they want to make sure when it comes to housing everybody has an opportunity to live the american gene and have a safe and secure roof over their heads. they want access to affordable healthcare. they want to make sure that they have strong retirement security and preserve our safety net program. those are the things that democrats have been fighting for, particularly relating for the economy. we want to take a common sense and balance approach that deals with targeted spending cuts as well as closing tax loopholes for the wealthiest americans. we need republicans to join us. they seem to be mired in extremism. to the best evidence as last week's the rnc meeting where they returned to the scene of the crime. we are expanding our map. they had their meeting at the hotel where mitt romney's so- called victory party was. they passed a resolution that doubles down on their opposition to a path to citizenship and said

democrats line. hello. >> good evening. i am glad you took my. i am a democrat. i have been a democrat. my father is a republican. we could not trust him anymore.

okay, we get to 2017, maybe you get a new democratic president, maybe you have a stronger democraticin the house, maybe republicans have lost another national election and blaming the latino vote for that, any growing sense that's the path? >> i think it is. the president has alluded to it, not very much, and i think he's wise, keeping his cards close to his vest but it is something i believe he would consider doing closer -- towards the end of the year if it becomes clear immigration reform isn't going forward from the house. the thing is, he does -- it's a legal gray area. i think part of the reason it's also being delayed he has to explore the legal till ity of s these programs. if you're talking about a much larger population, people who have been here longer, getting into the 11 million of the whole undocumented population, that's something that has to be stud idea, analyzed a bit more. >> that would be -- so the president's role in immigration debate has been -- it's been weird because he's been sidelined a little bit, intentionally so, because the idea of him being engaged, wi

the democrat party loves. massive unions, massive pensions. pay people pensions and health care long after they've stopped working. the math doesn't add up. you have massive welfare states where citizens are given things left and right in order to buy their votes. you have no opposition whatsoever. then in the case of -- you throw race into the mix and you bring on mayor coleman young who causes riots in 1967 in detroit and mayor young calls a white flight to suburbia and detroit is left with nothing but liberal democrats running it. it is what it is. and anyplace in this country that has similar circumstances, the same fate is going to happen to them. poverty was the other thing? >> poverty. lbj said the war on poverty. we'll have legislation to try to eradicate. poverty is growing. it's not getting better. there are a lot of people suffering. >> yeah, imagine that. it's been the number one issue the democrat party out of their mouths for -- well, since 1964 when lbj first started to care about poverty. perce

all four of them democrats. they tally failed to get enough signatures to get the recall on the ballots but they got enough to face two state senators to face recall elections in their district. one is the president of the state senate, john morse from colorado springs and angela herr herron. now the recall is september september 10th. national conservative groups like the national rifle association and even americans for prosperity, a group not typically involved in gun control battles, have already joined the fray, throwing the support and checkbooks behind the recall. michael bloomberg, the financial force behind the nation's leading gun control group, vowed he would weigh in for support for targeted lawmakers. to want bring in dave weigel, former congresswoman, marjorie margolies, jennifer kerns, a group backing the colorado recall effort, and kurtis lee. the names probably don't much many to anybody but the story does. a nationally significant story where the -- sort of the pro-gun forces are trying to make

we need to give our democratic governor and democratic legislature. for far too long, you have lived -- they have held on by the slimmest of margins. good job done a holding the job from the far right extremism. give them for us to some help by electing more democrats to the senate and putting them back in the majority of the house so that sharon and tom can have new friends in the house. we also desperately need a new secretary of state. [applause] one that will assure they can participate in a safe and accessible, and transparent, and fair process. if we work hard, we can accomplish all of this by next november. come ifthat democrats we do not work together, we are on our own. we want to make sure everyone gets a fair shot and everyone does their fair share and everyone plays by the same set of rules. up and down the ticket, democrats serve our diverse immunities. we must be prepared for the future. we cannot let republicans stand in the way any longer. we will plant the seeds for success to win back our governor seat to take control of the legislat

but to roundly criticize him because he's a democrat or won't stand with him because he's a democrathe american people. i think what will happen in the 2016 cycle is we may have an opportunity to see some different people come to the forefront as candidates. and the people who end up as, perhaps, the person who maybe ends up as our standard bearer in 2016 are maybe somebody folks don't expect today? >> going back to cory booker, the reason it will be an incredible challenge for him, when he gets to senate, he'll be one of 100 and he has to be a member of the caucus and he has to defend the president's policies throughout his tenure. so, the question is, how much of that -- how much does he sort of taut nonpartisanship when he has to be partisan to just get things done? >> it's so much easier running a city, for instance, or running a state or being part of a state legislature. the party lines and divisions between the parties are not nearly as exact. jonathan coming from kentucky, kentucky voted for mitt romney by 22, 23 points and 26 constitutional officers in kentucky are democrat.

excuse me, tony on democrats line. what i want to say is shame on this government, the republicans and democrats, all they do is argue back and forth. when you look at the real issue, the real issue is it doesn't matter what and who come over here, as long as they come over here to work, just like everybody else, pay taxes, and it is a crying shame when you whatever, people that just them over here. and, they came over here about three months ago, i heard a cuban guy at the social security office say that god bless america. months,een over here 13 since i've been over here, i have not worked, i have not done anything. he had one leg. -- they approved him for ssi, medicaid, and food stamps. >> he said he had no papers. >> once they come over here and they allow them to come to the detention center, they come out, they get a visa, sent right to the social security office, and missile security office -- and the social security office approves them. they send them over to the social security -- the food stamp office, and g

that's not a democratic initiative. democrats would prefer something like a single-payer system. individual responsibility is supposed to be republican mantra. well, that's what you got and they're against it. i don't know why they're against it. but there you go. i don't understand a lot of things anymore. the whole republican party, it seems to me, why are we surprised about this? these are the people who wanted to drown the federal government in the bathtub. i'm really not surprised. >> let's look at the other piece. we asked where the lead should could come from on the republican side to call off the hounds on this. you would look to maybe john boehner the house. that won't amount to much. mitch mcconnell in the senate -- i think there was a telling exchange this week, you probably saw this. this is jesse benton. this was rand paul's campaign manager. i think this is a rand paul family in law, as close as you get to ron paul, managing mitch mcconnell's re-election campaign and was secretly taped talking about mitch mcconnell. this is what he had to say. >> between you and me,

a democratic president. we don't need it. we had two courts of appeal judges supported by republicans in other circuits. it went through easily. have thed not begin to caseload or complexity of the d c circuit. circuit. a lot of things ago through the administrative parts of our government go there, and that court can do more to work the will of the president or the will ofthwart the president or congress. fact,of the cases, in you, me or anyone else -- on drugs, healthcare goes to the d.c. circuit. they do not want a balanced court. or not asking for republican democratic court. i want one that is balanced. it's not balanced now. they're trying to keep it unbalanced. >> if republicans filibuster, should a rule change be on the table or off the table? >> rule change will come back on the table. it is one thing if you have somebody who is not qualified. these people are extraordinarily well-qualified. >> you mentioned the supreme court decision on voting rights that everyone is dealing with right now. do you feel that the just

many republicans and democrats in congress have been no less a confounding. our chief white house correspondent ed henry. >> just back from vacation obama is immediately facing pressure to deal with a spiraling situation in egypt with chuck hagel declaring the violence must end although he quickly added the administration believes it has little leverage. >> ability to influence the outcome is limited. it is up to the egyptian people. they are a large in great sovereign nation. it will be there responsibility to sort this out. >> key republicans disagree in they say it is time to cut off the 1.$3 billion of military aid provided to egypt each yeer. >> we have no credibility we have influence when you do not use that you do not have it. >> we're not using the hearts and minds of each of you have a failed state we will have to suspend our a we cannot support the reaction of the military. >> while they said they review -- reviewing every aspect of president has only an ounce to suspend military exercise to halt the delivery of fighter planes over deliberations ov

many more democratic senators are up for reelection this year than -- in 2014, than republicans. 21 democratsemocrats in 2014 compared to 14 for the republicans in 2014, and look at this. neither democrats nor republicans have a claim right now on popularity. in fact, according to a recent gallup poll, 48% say the democratic party unfavorably. that's a big increase from 43% just after last year's election. by comparison, 53% see the g.o.p. unfavorablely. the mainstream liberal media is not giving that attention, not much attention to public democratic spats, in fact, senator mark pryor, up for reelection in arkansas next tells "politico," quote, i think president obama, in some ways, has a hard left agenda in various ways, and that agenda is not popular in our state, and a lot of that agenda, i don't support. now, that was pretty carefully worded, wasn't it? the most popular democrat in the country these days is certainly not president obama. it is former secretary of state hillary clinton. many parties consider her the odds on favorite for 2016, and gibb seems to be a little concern about hi

is the democratic party organization that works with democratic state legislators across the country. >> democratic legislative campaign committee. now i have to set a new google alert. michael sergeant, president of american values first. thank you for helping us understand your efforts tonight. >> thank you so much, rachel. >> we have been reporting on this story for as long as this show's been on the air, we've been reporting on voter suppression and protecting the right to vote. and every time you get sort of national-level democrats to talk about it, they tell you how bad the problem is and they tell you how much it must be fought. but the fight has been a state-to-state fight and a lot of it has been a legal fight, and a little bit of it has been a legislative fight. but to imagine the democratic party waging a national 50-state political fight on this subject, i feel like that's something that everybody's been waiting for. everybody's been covering this. everybody's been watching this happen for years, has been waiting for. this rollout of this american values first thing has

jersey state senator democrat barbara bruno. polls show him almost 30 points ahead. what would a chris christie presidential campaign be like? brad bliekl blakely smiling on e right. you worked for president george w. bush. brad, how much does he have to win by in november to potentially send a national message? what do you think? >> if you look at the polls as you suggested, eric, he will win handily because he's delivered. don't forget. new jersey is a blue state. he's a republican governor in a democratic state. he has to face a democratically-controlled senate. look at what he's been able to do showing bi-partisanship, balanced budget, creating jobs, taking on the teachers union. his leadership before, during, and after superstorm sandy, so his leadership is his greatest strength. that's why you see his poll numbers so good even beyond his state, so i think he'll win handily unless something unforeseen happens in november. that sets him up to be certainly the frontrunner as we start talking even now about 20 60s d the presen

it's democrat party policies. became the father, the democrat party became the husband with federal programs here. and that's why i've asked african-americans, you keep voting for 50 years for these people that are promising you this panacea and nothing's changing. and they all say, because the republicans are racists. and i know they don't like us. that's bogus. it's silly. the republicans are not racist. abraham lincoln was a republican. it's an unfortunate thing. i think this is detroit, black community, democrat party is their savior, right? how's it working out for them? >>> straight ahead, egypt, russia, what does the world really think of the united states? rush limbaugh tells you what he thinks next. it guides you to a number it guides you to a number that will change your life: your sleep number setting. it even knows you by name. now it's easier than ever to experience deep, restful sleep with the sleep number bed's dualair technology. at the touch of a button, the sleep number bed adjusts to each person

with the fire hoses were democrats. all the jim crow laws were written by democrats. all the laws after reconstruction to keep african-americans from voting were democrats. orel who stood in the hallway of central high school, he was a democrat. the guy to let the black children in school, that was eisenhower. >> i'm going to save gene his breath. the party was comprised of totally different forces at that time and had different leadership. hey, a florida gop operative spoke to "the palm beach post" after the 2012 election on the condition of anonymity, but remarkably candid. he acknowledged that voting reforms in florida, like cutting back on sunday voting, were designed to curtail the african-american vote. here's what he said. quote, i know that the cutting out of the sunday before election day was one of their targets only because that's a big day when the black churches organize themselves. that's what he said. gene, unquestionably accurate insofar as that is a critical day for mobilizing the vote in black churches

not stand up for democratic values?the challenge you have, you know, the president, you go in and remove mubarak and now you tie aid to a democratic process. the egyptians remove morsi. and the united states -- >> you think we should pull aid? there was some talk of that. even mccain and graham are saying don't do that. >> the challenge is he misplays his hand. he goes out and says these statements, you know. take syria for example. we're going to draw a red line on chemical weapons. yet they use chemical weapons. and i agree. this is complicated. what are you going to do? the problem is the way he handles it on the front end, not on the back end. >> let's look at syria. what would one have the president do in syria? send american troops to syria? i listen to all this criticism and try to think through. what would the critics do, were they in the president's chair, trying to represent the best interest of this country? >> what he would have done is be stronger with the russians earlier. and stronger with the chinese ear

we need democratic elections. brotherhood needs to get off the streets and back into the political arena and fight your differences there, and we need to put egypt back to work. if this continues, it's going to be a failed state. that's why we're going. >> senator, as you know, the brotherhood can't get back to the voting booth until elections are called, which haven't happened. >> right. >> the u.s. has been working its military connections very, very hard. >> right. >> trying to use the leverage of u.s. aid, saying you need to set up elections. you need to stop attacking these protesters. and i want to read you something that general abdel fatal cece said, he's the egyptian military commander, commander of the armed forces. he did an interview, i believe it was with "the washington post." he had this to say about the u.s. "you left the egyptians. you turned your back on the egyptians, and they won't forget that." he's talking about the fact the egyptians didn't like the morsi government, and you did nothing to t

democrat demeanor democrats are on the side of taking archway from people and if you want to shut downovern chlt the president said on friday, bring it on. let's do it. >> congressman clyburn, i'm sure you're hearing all of this and one of the suggestions is that the democrats are not running in obama care in 2014. i'm assuming, given what you have said earlier, do you think in the end that obama care is going to be a net plus, not ten years from now or five years from now, but next year when democrats most need a healthy economy and an obama care that is working reasonably smoothly? >> absolutely, i believe that. the fact of the matter is we will be running on obama care in 2014. we set it up for -- as of january 1, 2014, we'll start doing the exchanges on october 1, 2013. we fully expect to run on it, and we expect to win on it. the american people will be the winners and that's what my republican colleagues are getting into these town hall meetings during the month of august. this is a big, big difference. >> let me interject here, congressman. yes, you are running on the good parts

democrats called this theory ludicrous.nate campaign told slate today quote, this whole thing shows that republicans have no idea what the war on women is all about. the voter protecting equal pay, the birth control access, the violence against women act. it's about issues, not cable soap operas in new york city and san diego. john feehery says it's not an opportunity for the republicans to win. and yet all these institutions the campaign committee, the senate, the house, the rnc they're all spouting this out. they're going for it. >> they sort of have no choice. it will get some legs in terms of people talking about it. it's a good way to turn the war on women that democrats talk about and use it for their own purposes. republicans, but again i think the war on women as framed by the democrats was all about policy. the policies that republicans were pushing. it just so happened there were a number of republicans like todd akin who said things and it was very easy for are democrats to highlight policies around that, policie

democrats line.ood morning. caller: good morning. i just woke up and turned on c- span, and i can't believe the racism i hear. people in this country, the way they depict muslims -- it is horrifying. out,mubarak was taken there was a huge vacuum in egypt. the muslim brotherhood were organized. that is how they were able to take over the country. morsi is no saint. as far as the other guy talking about israel, they are illegal settlements. they are illegal settlements. that is my comment for this morning. host: ok, kathy, thank you for the call. this is another photograph from inside the "washington post." you can see what is a makeshift morgue as dozens of the bodies are inside this facility. again, the death toll -- 421. it is expected to go higher later today. cindy has this point on our twitter page -- there will never be "peace" in the middle east! next is john from louisiana. good morning. caller: good morning. my common is that as unfortunate as this is, the islamic brotherhood and morsi, i thi

that democrats have to be unafraid to be democrats. tell the truth from their perspective. narrate the story from your outlook and be unafraid to tell the american people that this is not only what's good for our party, it is what is good for the american populous. so unless we stand up and have confidence, self affirmation, we won't be able to confirm or affirm to a populous that is teetering on the brink of destruction because they are caught between two warring parties, that their best interests are at stake here. finally, i think what we've got to do is to be able to clearly tell that story. not with a bunch of, you know, rhetorical and jetson thrown in the stream of consciousness, dad gum it, just tell the truth we are at war for the future of america. we have to borrow some of the apocalyptic terms, to paint the grand picture against the campus of human history. if we can do that in the next five to six weeks, we have a better chance of winning and catching up to the polls which have indicated the american population is far ahead

democratically elected does not mean democratic. the muslim brotherhood is not democratic. the palestinian wing of the mother -- muslim brotherhood is called hamas. a democracy ine gaza. the problem is, that is where morsi was taking egypt, that is why there were the largest demonstrations in the history of egypt, larger than the ones against mubarak. coup,my, when it did the made the decision, it would be the army or the brotherhood. those are the only significant institutions in the country. one was taking it into a dictatorial stage. now it is a zero sum game. there is no way to reconcile the two. >> i am not arrogant enough to think i know what the answer is for democrats, but there was clearly great disagreement within the military itself, within the new government itself. mohamed elbaradei resigned. who thoughteople that there would be something short of this. i do not know whether that is true or not. perhaps that is naive. we may be left with no option but to support this government. when we do that, we send a signal to the rest of the arab world. >> but this is not

a choice between a democrat or nondemocrat.hey have been rejecting? >> i lived through it. i was there the night when the mayor was first elected and i was on his campaign team and i was on his campaign team when i lost in 1993. i do think in 1993 a combination of some really complicated, unforeseen events like what happened in crown heights and some missteps by the administration and, bluntly, a racial negative appeal by rudy giuliani. in the new york city of 1993, that was just enough to get giuliani the votes he needed. this is not the new york city of 1993 any more. a much more progressive and united city. >> also a city where the crime rate dropped dramatically from 1993 and in that time i read, my reading of the results from 1993 on has been that people had complicated feelings about giuliani and complicated feelings of bloomberg but overall they say the city is a lot safer and better to live in than 20 years ago. we talk about this question of stop and frisk. i recognize that in the democratic primary, if you poll this q
