you could be, i have heard you guys invoke a little cynicism here, you could be very cynical and sayhey made exactly the right choice. they made a meaningless suspension that didn't interrupt filming whatsoever for a & e, got "duck dynasty" and a & e splattered across every headline in the nation and thus create a marketing boon. i say that only as a cynic on the marketing side. i think a & e was wrong from the start to silence people, that they had some kind of group think disagreement with, when in truth, what phil robertson had to say was a religious point of view and personal preference and one that many americans, not including me, many americans agreed with. it was the wrong thing morally, perhaps the right thing marketing wise. >> it was -- but to be clear, "duck dynasty" wasn't some little tiny show at the beginning. it was a big hit from the get-go. >> no, that just means now instead of 13 million people watching, perhaps it will be 20 million with this kind of headline splashing thing over the last several weeks. >> i don't know. i think you sound a little more cynical than

if you are a cynic, and i'm somewhat cynical -- one could argue that hamilton was merely an opportunist, and i think that is part of what went into him becoming a supporter of the american revolution. i don't think he was alone in that respect. i think you can say that about virtually everyone who was a major figure in the american revolution, but if you think about it for a moment, he comes to new york, knows very little about the background of the protests against england, which had started almost a decade before he arrived, in new york. and he, i think, looks at the situation and makes, as hamilton was also wont to do, a calculated digits, which would be the best way for me to go? if i choose england, then can i rise very far? if i choose america and a new nation emerges, doors will open, and the way will be clear, perhaps, for me to rise. but i would not say that opportunityism alone explains hamilton's revolutionary bent. he was a recent immigrant to new york, and like recent immigrants, many of them embraced their new country and see it as a place that has given them opportunities

it breeds a cynicism on the part of taxpayers. if you are changing things all the time, why follow laws? >> it is not what our founders had in mind. there is none. our stock market is divided government, is it not? >> no question. when politicians are playing around with laws and taxpayers should watch thei wallets, you should also watch your stock market with fear. you have seen a major stock rally market and second run presidents get little done and the notion that somebody whosoever seeing such a failed legislation that will achieve a lot is not credible. >> this is a president who really likes to get things done. you can see what he did in the first two years and he might get frustrated and desperate and perhaps use these powers to an extent he hasn't yet. >> that's the reason we are seeing this now. in the second term we know president obama is not going to be able to get his next signature climate change issue accomplished. we have already seen some of this leading up to this. sometimes it goes beyond dollars and cents. rece

i'm not quite as cynical as glen thrush. >> i'm confident it would pass. i'll tell you why. first of all, i talked to certain members. but also, you know, when chris christie won also in new jersey, the minimum wage passed as chris christie won. so here you have people voting for a republican governor and an increase in minimum wage. so it tells me there might be negotiating as to the exact dollar amount but there is an increase in minimum wage that could pass the house. i think you'd have probably overwhelming majority of dems passing it, minority of republicans. but if boehner would put it up, i'm confident it would pass. at least i'd like to see. i think it would. they would get to identify and brand themselves. i think it's an important question whose side are you on? low wage workers, people trying to come up or the guys who make exorbitant amounts and huge bonuses. >> congressman before i let you go, we did a little digging into your own biography. at one point, is it true you were a fast-food worker at one point? >> yes. i worked at mcdonald's. i cooked. it was one of

when one tries to determine why he became a revolutionary, if you are a cynic and i am cynical, one could argue that hamilton was merely an opportunist. that was part of what went into him becoming a supporter of the american revolution. i don't think he was alone in that respect. you could say that about virtually every one who was a major figure in the american revolution. if you think for a moment he comes to new york, knows very little about the background of the protest against england which started almost a decade before he arrived in new york and i think he looks at the situation and as hamilton was always want to do a rather calculated decision which would be the best way for me to go, if i choose england, can i rise very far? if i choose america and a new nation emerges, doors will open and the way will be clear perhaps for me to rise. i would not say opportunism alone explains hamilton's revolutionary debt. he was a recent immigrant to new york, and like recent immigrants, many of those immigrants embrace their new country, as they see their new country as a place that has given

it is important to know cynicism -- i am a cynic. any reporter becomes cynical.'m more susceptible but it's where i am. it comes from a place of very deep passion, belief, optimism my kids can grow up in a better world and we can all grow up in a better world. maybe now i should rip my earpiece off before i completely run the brand. cliches everywhere. >> "new york times" mark leibovich. thank you.

[laughter] i have not learned how to be as cynical. i'm confident we will arise out of the dust as we continue to organize. candidates will merge, and who knows they might just be in this room. [applause] >> the only thing i would add is one of the things harrold washington did say is not the man it's the plan. and it is about what is our agenda? how do we lift up the issues? it's true we can't wait for the one person that save us and rescue us. it doesn't work that way. what happens when a man is no longer here and the movement. right. what are we left in terms of what we've actually still got. i think for us we have a political organization where we're committed to elected who come from our base of folks who don't jump in just because they see an opportunity. but at the fight long before an election came around. i think that how do we actually create a space that for real independent politics in the city. because it's clear that the democrats in chicago, chicago democrats aren't the apps for us. they never have been. i think there ar

we asked the question, nosy is cynical. that's a resounding no. in pitch perfect, the movie, who asian americans are passive types, the other is becca, i'm assuming beck c becca is the protagonist, will not associate with becca who is the protagonist. when will the side kicks when and how will the side kicks become the protagonists of their own narrative? >> i think that will happen when we start to realize that we're not looking for a seat at the table of white feminists and moult culturallism and simply having us on tv once a a while is not enough. so it's about deconstructing and rejecting that narrative and at the same time being really conscientious that we are not producing new dominant narratives. i get a lot of feedback saying i'm feisty. i'm saying that's not what feminists have to be. we need to be careful how we are depicting the new answered asian american. multiracial and biracial people. >> debbie, who do you look like as the stereotype shatterer that is very publicly visible? >> look here, sui park i'm so excited to be on the show w

[laughter] so they can look past their noses. and the same thing in america. and this includes how they couldn't shoot straight. and so on. and the stupidity of people is usually boundless. >> i'm sure that japan was not the topic of this, but you are probably talking a lot about it. and i want to thank you both for being with us. thank you. until 18, 20 years. spent time with correspondents for "the guardian" and the times newspaper. and now we make documentary films and not part of the world and we've been passing by two days before the attacks

i'm not cynical -- >> i'm not cynical either, in this universe in which we live, you and some of your colleagues have an idea for something the president could actually do by himself to increase wages for working people. what is that? >> well, you know, there are about 2 million workers who work for federal contractors. these contractors pay people sub standard wage, $7.45, no benefits, people have been on these jobs for literally years, and an executive order could solve this problem, and so we wrote a letter to the president about two months ago asking him to do something about it. and i gave another letter today. and you know, i think he is not sincere. he gave a wonderful speech about income inequality today. and he urged congress to raise the minimum wage, but in this congress i think we're going to have to look at what the executive can do and doing something with these contractors who pay people sub standard pay is something we can do right away. so tomorrow at the aerospace conference, they demand they get paid better by the contractors. >> and an executive order, the signatur

that's cynical. >> yes but perhaps realistic. the fact is both sides are gaining traction by either supporting or failinging to support. ryan's point is right. where's the gumption, the backbone, the stand-up to republicans and to mobilize the dissent within your own party at least to the point that you make a visible articulation of the principle. >> backbone. >> there are a couple of things that play here. just pure politics, pure cynical polit politics, the expectation is you let this go because they had other -- they trying to get more money to deal with the sequester. they game it out, people are going to go home, get crap from their people. >> but the news coverage is brutal. >> right. they're going to come back and we're going to say put it up against tax breaks for big oil or helping the unemployed or pensions for our military or veterans. that's where i think the mrilt california claigs was, this is one where it is an easier battle to fight in january than it was before they left when they had so much on the table. i'm n

the longer answer, and i hate to be cynical, there is more about politics relative to policy. the politics have changed dramatically since october when obamacare started trying to enroll people on the website. if you look at the polling numbers, in some respects, the republicans will be driven to compromise, not only on the budget, but on the debt ceiling. the old adage in politics is when your adversary is committing suicide, do not get in their way. as the numbers for the president and the democrats look so bad, i do not think the republicans want to pick fights that they may not be able to win anyway. i would say that this is a good budget agreement and it will pass and you will see some arguments on both sides. i think the deal will be struck on the debt ceiling. it has more to do with the politics than the policy. >> when you look at this deal and the dynamics within each party and the divisions within the democratic party between the mainstream and the more progressive elizabeth warren side of the party as well as within the republican party and what is the death grip by

applause] and there are too many of us who stand on the sidelines, comfortable in complacency or cynicismwhen our voices must be heard. the questions we face today -- how to promote equality and justice, to uphold freedom and human rights, to end conflict and sectarian war -- do not have easy answers. but there were no easy answers in front of that child in qunu. nelson mandela reminds us that it always seems impossible until it is done. south africa shows us that is true. south africa shows us we can change. we can choose to live in a world defined not by our differences, but by our common hopes. we can choose a world defined not by conflict, but by peace and justice and opportunity. we will never see the likes of nelson mandela again. but let me say to the young people of africa, and young people around the world -- you can make his life's work your own. over 30 years ago, while still a student, i learned of mandela and the struggles in this land. it stirred something in me. it woke me up to my responsibilities -- to others, and to myself -- and set me on an improbable journey that find

contemporaries viewed rolin's wealth with hatred and his professions of charity and spirituality with cynicism. it's one of the mysteries of the time that such men combined an austere, rigid piety with excesses of cruelty, of calculating greed, and of, to us, sickening ostentation. king louis xi himself said of rolin, "he made enough people poor to make a pauper's hospital necessary." the hospital was where the poor came to die. here were two rows of 31 beds where the poor lay two or three to a bed. the 15th century was a time of famine, war, and plague. thousands of people could die in a place like this, so the chancellor had provided that each patient could look from his bed to the wall above the altar, where there hung a tremendous vision of the end-- the last judgment of roger van der weyden. on the day of judgment, the dead rise from the earth to be judged by their savior. christ sits enthroned in glory above the archangel michael, who holds the scales which will weigh the vices and virtues of all who are to be judged on the day of reckoning. saint john the baptist, mary, the 12 apostles,

and for a cynical new yorker, it was quite a revelation. one of the great things about bookstores, liz and brad are a wonderful addition. everybody did a huge sigh of relief when they bought the store. politics & prose helped put me in business when i announced i was going to start my business. there's a lot of pushback from people. a, they were going to step up for us, we could use them as references and, people just better shut up and cooperate. and, you know, it really helped. we jump-started very nyse. sarah mcnally, whom i mentioned, this woman's a rock star. i mean, she's really impressive. veteran bookseller from canada, but she is actually drawn to her community. you can't work there unless you've got a book in progress. you know? everybody there is doing three different things outside the store and on the staff, and it just makes for an incredibly rich environment. christine at words in green point, the folks who opened green light bookstore, huge two-year fundraising campaign involved the borough president, involved, you know, the

a new survey shows serious skepticism and cynicism among millennials. protests across the country calling for an increase in minimum wage. the focus is fast food restaurants. can any change happen quickly? elizabeth warren said no thanks to 2016. new police reports put rob ford in the hot seat again and dennis rodman is headed to north korea. good morning from washington. it's thursday, december 5th, 2015. i'm luke russert for chuck todd. chuck is on the way back from a focus group in ohio. you don't want to miss "the daily rundown." it's a political junkie's dream. there may be an early christmas present taking shape on capitol hill. a budget agreement may be done within the week. negotiators are said to be optimistic about their chances. there lots of moving parts. here's what we are hearing about what's taking shape. it would well most likely be a two-year deal covering 2014 and 2015 and would fund the government as well as relieve the sequester cuts. it looks like the budget number is 990 billion, give or take. that's higher than the budget set by t

these cynics are simply crafting arguments to justify their misses or excuse their incorrect predictions or they just don't understand. maybe they learned the lesson of the great recession too well and can't believe honest to betsy good news when they hear it. that piece of the puzzle simply isn't as important as the sheer number of hires. what really matters, if you're negative on stocks and they increase the number of hires in a row and not a drop in the unemployment rate then you will miss a terrific opportunity to make money. that's what i found from examining the last five years from my charitable trust. look, i don't blame you if you wait to see a second payroll number in a row for getting bullish, that's simple prudence. a really good report coming in the wake of several flat ones can justify careful buying. just to be sure, i am quite conscious of the fear of the fed if the economy is getting better as represented by the labor number. i don't care, a strong number is good when interest rates are as low as they have been. if you're trying to buy stocks after an excellent reporting

i know that sounds terribly cynical but we know by and large people operate out of self-interest. so there is no easy solution and people who say i want to get the money out of politics where i want to delete a public financing elections those are throwaway lines that don't really offer a solution. >> you began by talking about the jimmy stewart movie mr. smith goes to washington and i think it true we've internalized this notion of washington corruption as a matter of individuals and if only people would act better everything would be great other than the way that you presented it in the sor a sort of public e institutional notion. why do you think it is that we have this unmerited high expectation rather than think of it institutionally and why the more public choice -- >> that's a good question. i think as the government has gotten larger and there've been more opportunities -- you look for example at while being very and they have a long history in the united states but in terms of being a major industry, it's really been over the past 30 to 40 years. and i'm not an anti-lobby

being a vicious, nasty, cynical old brit.shot here under the disney brass. >> worried that you would screw it up. i was playing somebody that didn't care. a man who had everything. meeting a woman, tom hanks describes as an old bat. i would be honored if you would take a ride on jingles. mrs. disney's favorite horse. >> no thank you. i'm hap to watch. >> walt was confused by it. he was confounded why would any body want to live their life like she does. >> what has you upset now? >> penguins. penguins have very much upset me mr. disney. animated dancing penguins. >> why would anybody want to do their chosen life work in, in such a negative negative. unpleasant. >> she thought films were rubbish. hated his movies. >> hates americans. >> hated america, really, yes. it smells like jazmine. >> chlorine and sweat. >> pamela traverse, you can't imagine how excited i am to finally meet you. she stonewalled disney for 20 years before finally coming to l.a. to hash it out with him, producer and music man. robert and richard sherman. >

i mean, how cynical is this? >> it's very cynical, but that is what he's up against. jack kingston is going to be in trouble with the tea party base who wants to see this fail because they want to see this president fail. but there really is hope for so many people. i mean, that story last week in the "washington post" about kentucky. you're talking about republicans, poor republicans, getting health care, reverend al. and i think now that we have these positive stories after, let's be honest, six weeks or so of only horror stories, i think that the public opinion is going to turn and it's going to be very hard to demonize this program and take it away from people. >> but congresswoman, they're in a bad spot because they rooted against it, they went ahead with all they had against this, and now it is beginning to work and you're starting to see people tell positive stories, congresswoman. >> you know, i told them to get over it in a committee hearing, and they'd better get over it or pay a political price. >> now, joan, let me come back to you. we mentioned earlier th

single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across a cynical we've been hijacked lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once built up i'm tom hartman and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem or trying to fix rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america to find a job ready to join the movement then walk away from the big picture. there's a media leader so we leave the media. by the sea motions she surely play your party musical. wear shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on our t.v. . some of the sixteen percent of imports came from movie goofy shit. the european union is ironically taking fish from some of the poorest nations on earth so this is a very serious and very urgent problem that needs immediate international action. on the territorial waters of the fish they load this fish on to the ships and leave . the. il

much better to argue qe is behind everything and the only way to approach is be cynical, a know-it-allho has the vision, the vision to see the next crash coming. what's the real problem of the market. the twin peaks of this negativity came last year. during the fiscal clip discussion that was right about now. and this year with the absurd government shutdown and the bizarre debt ceiling fight. but, you know what, the bull never blinked. and each time one of these peaks appeared before us, it was scaled. scarily scaled, but scaled nonetheless and each summit, this was more beautiful than the last time. and finally the politicians gave up trying to destroy the economy and just shut up entirely which gave us one more beautiful lift at year's end and that trounsed the bear, last nail in the coffin. it's been so long since legitimate bull markets of the 1980s and 1990s we forgot what happens in one of these truly positive moments. or maybe, people just aren't old enough. let's go over the five bull market tenants. something to think about over the next five days. call it your game plan for

the double-edged sword would be the cynical maneuvers by president putin so often in ukraine certainlyin theure asia to see the russians trying to exploit other countries. i do think it's a little bit of a mixed bag. certainly you would have to say the russians are more prominent than in a long time. >> to wind it up, as a man who lives the world stage, are you happy about 2014? >> am i happy about 2014. >> yeah, do you think it's going to be a good year? >> i think we have to guard against all these problems we've talked about. but there are a lot of reasons to believe the global economy's coming back. there are already growth rates positive now in europe, in the united states and in asia. that means a lot to lift people out of poverty and stabilize the international situation if an iran deal can be achieved, if we can make progress on syria, then obviously those are the great challenges of 2014. so a lot of work ahead for governments and for people all around the world. >> covering a lot of ground there, again, nicholas burns, ambassador burns, thanks so much. great to get your thoug
