nia-malika, a lot of law and orderno nouews today. in iowa, we got hear wisdom from the father of senator ted cruz. take a listen to him. >> socially some requires that government becomes your god. that's why they have to destroy the concept of god. they have to destroy all loyalties except loyalty to the government. that's what was -- is behind homosexual marriage. >> nia-malika, were you an aware bloviating grandiosity is an inherited condition? >> senator cruz's father is a minister. in some ways that's -- ted cruz has charisma and stage presence. i think his dad is getting his time in the spotlight there and ted cruz, as well. ted cruz is very much an up and comer. people here in washington in the senate side not pleased with his sort of bull in a china shop to his job as senator. certainly folks in iowa love him. the folks who win iowa rarely go onto win the actual contests. huckabee the year in 2008. so the you know, those are real ejan g evangelic evangelicals. they can light up a crowd there. >> professor shrum, speaking of bl

joining me now is ed rendell and nia-malika henderson. thank you for being here tonight. >> my pleasure. >> the president seemed really unhappy with this republican game of chicken on shutting down the government. how do you see it? >> well, i think the president's dead-on. he is right to be defiant. this is the law of the land. the supreme court with a predominant number of republican appointees upheld affordable health care act as the law of the land. it's over. they've tried to repeal it 40 times. it's gotten nowhere. right now they should act responsibly and deal with a responsible budget, deal with the debt ceiling down the road, and get off this ridiculous idea. ecause the president talks about 30 million people that wouldn't get health care. but there is more than that, heavy. do the republicans want to go back to the time when a person with a preexisting illness could not get health care? do they want to go back to the time when someone who has health care but gets sick can be dropped? >> right. >> do they want to go back to the t

to me, nia malika, that was a signature from all of the debates.mportant moment. if you compare that debate, a tough debate, where newt gingrich dressed john king down. >> down in south carolina. >> this idea, just having people who are sort of in your camp a little bit more means an easy debate, it's not always true. >> that's right. let's remember, rick perry's awful moment where he couldn't remember the three agencies he wanted to cut. that wasn't the moderator forcing him to do that. that was him. same thing with mitt romney and some of his positions on immigration, which he explained in the debate. that wasn't the moderator who was forcing him to take those positions. it was him. so this idea that they can sort of craft this sort of hot house environment, this perfect environment for their candidates, and referee the moderators, or that they can pick them. i'm not sure that reince priebus is picking brett bare to moderate. >> it's not clear to me that it's a great thing for republicans to have further right moderators in the debates. one of th

something that we just have to challenge under both the constitution and the voting rights act. >> nia, they are really trying to discourage students from voting. they say it has to be a government-issued i.d. but they will not accepts any i.d.s issued by their government-run universities and colleges in that state. they're not considering those to be government issued i.d.s. no student i.d.s are acceptable. and the targeting there is pretty obvious, isn't it? >> it is. lots of college students in north carolina, they've got duke, unc, north carolina, anc central as well, and one of the things they're also trying to do is say that 16 and 17-year-olds can't register early for when they turn 18. so i think clinton is right. clinton was giving a speech on voter suppression just as this bill was being signed into law. she called it the greatest hits of voter suppression. it's so vast and broad. and it really covers so many different types of people. students, african-americans as well. and i think this whole idea of preventing voter fraud, i think there have only been two alleged cases of

joining me now are nia-malika henderson and joe madison.ng on the show. >> great to be here. >> nia-malika, the birthers are still out there, and silence from speaker boehner. is this what is behind all this gridlock in washington? >> well, you know, speaker boehner actually did speak out when, for instance, steve king said some things about latino. so he did do that. but i think the reality of what we see going on in some of these town halls is these are primary voters. these are the voters who are going to show up in 2014. these are the voters that are going to show up in 2016. so for those folks, those representatives who are there talking to their constituents, hearing from their constituents, we very much see that they are beholden to a very different strain of the republican party than the strain of the republican party that is talking about rebranding. they're at least something like 54%. there was a poll out recently that showed 54% of republicans actually want republicans to be more conservative rather than doing the sort of outrea

thank you, nia-malika henderson and congresswoman karen bass. thank you for your time. >> thanks for having us on. >> thank you. >>> president obama will speak at the lincoln memorial at tomorrow's anniversary celebration of the march on washington. coming next, i'll speak with two activists fighting for the protection of the right to vote. >>> and more on donald trump facing a $40 million lawsuit for fraud. tonight you'll hear what some of the alleged victims are saying. >>> and the stunning inside story of michele bachmann's presidential campaign. her former staffer has written a tell-all book, and it's all in there, the firing of a pregnant mother on christmas eve, the money paid to buy support in iowa, the incredible details ahead. what's on your mind? e-mail me. friend or foe, i want to know.

nia-malika, just one question to you finally.nversation about repealing the affordable care act, has it never struck these politicians that what they're doing as professor shrum said earlier, is taking away the provision of health care with absolutely no consideration of a replacement. i mean this is absolutely lacking in any kind of compassion for the develop people that will this act was designed to cover. >> you know, it used to be that the refrain was repeal and replace. and now there is really no idea about what would actually replace it. it's just this idea of repealing. and i think cantor's turned to talking about entitlement. >> repealing and throwing 25 million people back onto the streets with no health care. >> exactly. and i think cantor's turned to talking about entitlement reform in some ways. that's disingenuous. if you think what obama did in april, he proposed massive changes to entitlement reform, $100 billion cuts to social security. $400 billion cuts to medicare. and republicans didn't want to do that. they fe

nia, did you see any movement in the race last night as a result of that debate? >> absolutely not.nned at those numbers. 49%. i think it's 12% and 8%. no movement. i mean, this guy is going to win. i think the question is what kind of senator he's going to be. it looks like his opponents there are trying to say that he's not quite progressive enough. but i think on some issues he will be in terms of coming to the senate. he really wants to focus, for instance, on poverty. i interviewed him a couple months ago. he said that would be his focus, he wants to use that platform to shine a light on poverty, something democrats haven't done for many years now, and also that he'd want to move to southeast d.c., anacostia, which is a neighborhood here that has long struggled with joblessness and high crime. so i think we're going to see him shake up the senate a little bit. >> ryan, he certainly ran the classic way ahead front-runner campaign in this thing so far, which is you can ignore these debates. but i think it seemed like a smart move for him to jump into that last debate so he could

joining me now are abby huntsman, co-host of the cycle here on msnbc, and nia-malika henderson from "shington post." thank you for coming on the show. >> great to be here. >> thanks very having us. >> abby, mock obama day? maybe it's a joke to the far right, but isn't this the mentality that is hurting the party? >> no, you're absolutely right. and this lack of leadership goes without even saying. it's one thing if you want to mock a certain issue or a policy. if you don't agree with obama care, go ahead and write. that's what democracy is all about. this is below that. this is a personal attack. it also sets the tone for the upcoming generation this name-calling is okay. not just name-calling, but the president of the united states. what happened to respecting our political leaders? i think that's gone. and when you have folks that have a microphone like glenn beck, it's a sad time when you see him actually promoting this type of language. >> but why aren't the more stable and the more adult-minded republican leaders denouncing this? >> i think you're seeing it more and more. and you

john feehery and nia-malika henderson. see if there is an argument to be made here. do you think wilner -- excuse me. weiner. i know a bunch of wilnors. sorry. i'm not talking about you guys. could you think weiner, do you think weiner is something that will travel? do you think that it travels say to milwaukee or to nebraska or florida or texas where a democrat running for office would have to defend anthony weiner even if he wins the new york mayor's race which he probably won't? >> if he wins it, i think it has some legs. this whole weiner, filner, spitzer white liberal men behaving very badly and certainly doesn't help the democrats trying to get votes. republicans are not going to build their whole campaign strategy on these three guys. and hope they do a better job -- >> your party is doing that. what are all these tweets and stuff coming out of the rnc and congressional committees? >> tweets don't make a campaign. what they have to do, they have a problem with the gender gap. they've got to recruit able female polit

for more i'm joined by the great nia-malika henderson.obody covers elections and government better than "the washington post." i'm looking at these numbers right now. it just seems to me as right as the congressman was on the facts i believe, that the public knowledge is so murky and so confused, there's been so much nonsense thrown. look at this, in june of this year, 47% blame the white house. back in may, a month before it was only 37%. increasingly in this fog of political war, the white house is getting blamed for something they probably had nothing to do with. >> that's right. you've had republicans run a very effective campaign on this issue of the irs and sort of essentially saying that the white house culture of corruption led to this whole scandal at the irs. it turns out not to be much of a scandal. the whole idea the irs was targeting not only tea party groups but progressive groups started to come out in the summer. you feel also that the white house was in some ways caught off guard by this. they came out very slow in some w

joining me now, "the washington post"'s nia milika henderson.ing market, many questions. quite honestly, when you start talking about broad packages, we know the complexity of the housing market already. but the president wants to see movement by the end of the year. any chance he'll be successful? >> hard to see him being successful. he's right to go out and frame these debates and try to highlight the problems that americans are having in terms of refinancing homes. he said himself, i think, that he could benefit from being able to refinance a mortgage on his house. but it's hard to see any movement on any of these things. i think the president is doing the right thing in terms of trying to frame this debate on his terms. congress is out for the next five weeks. hard to see any movement. >> it's hard to see movement these days, michael, but it's fun fi that jay leno asked president obama about his, quote, bromance with senator john mccain as of late. let me play what was said there. >> you two had that lover's quarrel for a while. now you're b

. >> joining me now, "washington post" political reporter nia malika-henderson.e last time anthony weiner was mentioned at a kentucky political -- at a kentucky senate campaign? >> yeah. very, very weird and telling about that fancy farm picnic, not very fancy, very raucous there. i think alison lundergan grimes came out very well. she handled that crowd. it was a packed audience for mitch mcconnell there. you saw everybody yelling "we want mitch, we want mitch." and there she was, very pointed in her criticism of mitch mcconnell. i think the people to watch in this race are the clintons. clinton's a great, great friend of alison's father. he's already cut an ad in support of her. and this is really going to be a test of democrats' fortunes in the south more generally because that is where democrats have some room to grow. and this is a state, kentucky, that clinton of course won twice, in '92 and then of course again in '96. so i think that'll be interesting to see, how much bill clinton is there and how much hillary clinton is there on the ground stumping for a

that question i was born earlier by richard america an adjunct professor at georgetown university and nia quite a founder of the democracy and conflict research institute i started by asking richard if he expects the oil rich african nations to fall victim to the resource curse well i think the effort is has a problem with weak management and the resource curse is a misnomer it's really a weak management curse and we know how to fix that for you know how to create institutions and programs that will dramatically and consistently improve the quality of management if that happens and it can happen. the the resources available will be put to good use so history would not repeat. case i mean this is a pretty eye opening fact here if it's true i presume it is that of all the developing nations that have a a bulk of their export revenue coming from oil and gas and none of them have a functioning democracy why do you think that is it is it is a startling fact they need to say but i think the reason that it happened you have to look at the history is before discovering oil the majority of them we
