and craft and pepsi even ceased paying dues to alec, even though alec announced they were getting outn rights business, and even though they wrote the task force on the bill. it has had an effect on this very influential conservative organization. the documents show that a third of alec's revenue is gone, year over year, owing to big corporate members leaving the organization. alec has also lost 400 state legislators from their ranks, the group is so worried about this attrition that they started a movement to get the corporate leaders back, trying to woo their well healed members back to the organization. also, a promise to keep member's names anonymous with the new organization designed in the 501 c 4-category, which means that donors could remain anonymous, they could keep supporting the group, but remain unembarrassed. something with the legislative agenda that alec promotes. other documents posted by the guardian reveal that alec is not only trying to recover its corporate revenue, but they're also asking for a stronger commitment from lawmakers that stayed true to the organizati

and i will tell you this my advice to alec is very very simple. stand your ground but looking at the conservative vendors on hand and what's on the docket in closed door task force meetings you can clearly see an agenda emerging alec has operated largely in the shadows but the organization did release some of its priorities for this year and we can get a sense of what laws are being written and voted on at this summit although alex still keep secret which corporate interests are be hind writing each model bill for example there's that this model bill under consideration this week opposing the e.p.a.'s ability to regulate greenhouse gases under the clean air act a proposal that supported by the big oil industry or there's this bill out of the international relations task force that opposes regulations requiring country of origin labeling on food in grocery stores a proposal supported by big guy plus there are model bills to weaken public sector unions as well as to make the affordable care act or obamacare more difficult to implement these are all

individuals with team up with corporate heavyweights from telecom to big oil and what do you know alec is responsible for some of the worst legislation on the books including the infamous stand your ground laws voter id requirements and the right to work an initiative which is really one massive attack on unions today back door meetings are happening with lawmakers from all across the country so they can go back to their respective districts and lay out alec's corporate agenda the model bills being attacked this week are the e.p.a. is regulation of green. house gases and the opposition to food labeling among many others and yet another story overshadowed by the cayo nonsense is n.s.a. spying which by the way is getting worse by the day as the leaks continue to confirm the newest revelation is that the n.s.a. collects a staggering five billion international cell phone g.p.s. locations daily expanding its open air spying prison globally and also the editor of the guardian was recently called to testify before the british parliament why well after publishing n.s.a. leaks related to britai

alec baldwin was right to condemn the people credit sizing him. >> martin bashir resigned. what he said about sarah palin, what letterman said about sarah palin, what bill maher said, was that as bad? they are still on tv. >> everybody has their opinion. it's up to the network to air it or not. >> as long as the groups agree politically, they don't attack them. your side doesn't attack your side when they say outrageous things. >> i will disagree with that. >> alec baldwin had a history of making homophobic slurs. >> that wasn't. >> if you grew up where we were, sean, baldwin and i grew up within ten miles of each other. when we were growing up those comments were common place. >> we are in 2013. >> you have to give people slack from this. like paula deen. should she have lost her job with with those remarks? >> 30 years ago. >> is it okay for someone to say something racist? >> you're like the thought police. you want to monitor, fire -- >> it's not the thought police. it's the talk police. >> are you really that offended? >> actually, i am quite offended. on behalf of my

the big caveat is that alec salmon has been here before.n elections to the scottish parliament the whole -- parliament. the whole system is rigged to make sure you can never have a administration. he defied the system. if you talk to people in the snp, they would say, where we are is no worse than where we were for the elections of the scottish parliament. he has been your before. i think they are trying to kind of diffuse many of the crunchy issues. say,ve had alex salmond don't worry, we will keep the queen. don't worry, we will keep sterling. we will still have the same television programs. in other words, to try to play down the enormity of the event. reassure voters. there is no getting away from it. he's got an awful lot of ground stilton makeup and not a vast amount of time. >> thanks a lot. we will be coming back in a moment. talking of referendums, a conservative backbencher is doing what he can to bring us closer to the day when we can all have a vote on the european union or at least britain's membership of it. you might have tho

alec baldwin had 101,000 viewers, i think.simply seeing the fruits of their bad labors. >> not considered good for viewers at home. >> it's bad business. i believe in free speech. if you do bad tv and offensive tv, americans won't watch. >> let's move on on to the next topic. this man almost committed suicide in new york city. a woman went to the scene and decided it would be a good idea to take a selfie. you take a picture of yourself. apparently she wanted to get the potential suicide on camera. the post snapped this photo as she did it. they reported that's what she was doing and that she made a run for it when they asked for her name. is this what seociety has come to? >> it shows why trash tv is successful. it's self-obsession and promotion. we have become detached from humanity, desensitized. we have the to have more compassion and not say, this is a you won't believe it moment. it's suffering. it's horrible. >> makes me feel bad as a perpendicular and a parent when you see this as opposed to this poor man about to end h

or alec baldwin once again using an anti-gay slur against a photographer. baldwin clearly in a rage. but of all the words out there, it is still the n word with its brutal history that america struggles with the most. whatever its use today, at its root the experience of slaves like solomon northup more than 150 years ago. it's a story nearly lost to history. >> we don't know the circumstances of his death. we don't know where he's buried. but to me, he is everything that is good and great about the world and about america. >> to have that material have that effect on me the way solomon's words did, the way his work did, i can absolutely say i will never have an experience like this as a writer. >> i survive. i will not fall into despair. >> for "the 11th hour" miguel marquez, cnn, los angeles. >>> you heard about matt barnes of the los angeles clippers in that story. he accepted our invitation to come on the show tonight and talk about what is admittedly a controversial topic. he canceled today. here with me now shall we say the incomparable ms. ann coulte

i like alec, he has been on this show numerous times. also don't believe he is a homophobe, and he clearly lost his temper here, but it was in a private situation with the paparazzi hounding him and his family. you used to run corporate communications. and he, obviously being a big nbc star, if he were doing this job how would you manage this scenario? >> well, i think if you're sitting in that position, the network is going to weigh how the audience feels, they will weigh the feedback and the audience, and weigh what he said. and in this case, i think they clearly came down on the fact that they had to make a change, they had had to make a change. >> what if somebody erupts in anger, says something offensive, but you know from their track record, whether it was a politician or an actor, you know from previous statements that they're not that person in real life. does that help? is it an easier way to manage it? >> yeah, i think that helps tremendously. because the public already knows that particular person. and so they have sort of a r

>> alec baldwin serial battles with the paparazzi. >> tea party. enough already. >> italian prime minister who was finally sentenced four years of prison for writtenning everything and everything kardashian. i have had enough of them. >> anthony weiner's career. may it stayed buried this time. >> enough already is global warming. the theory. the most honored supporter admit there has been anyone crease in the earth's surface temperatures for 15 years. it's time to admit that the theory is flawed. >> worst lie. >> if your like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan. >> what do you mean by that, keep it? >> that was the president's offstated comment where he was referring to people that already have insurance. and it did not prove to be fully accurate. i would gift three direct to have international intelligence james clapper that told a congressional committee that the nsa was not collecting data on millions of mornings. he later had to aparking lot guys to what he called his least most untruthful answer. in other words, he lied.

issue is in how this ended up being handled there seemed to be in some a double standard with the alec baldwin situation. >> he wagone immediately. >> quickly. i wrote which groups it's okay to targets versus which ones aren't. there were plenty of athletes and hollywood stars that have been known for beating up girlfriends but if you make a homophobic slur you lose your job quick. alec baldwin is very vocal about everything but very vocal -- >> you should be able to criticize andrew sullivan and not be homophobic. you should be able to criticize mitch mitch and not be sexist. >> he could have called her an idiot but he stepped over the line. you're talking about deif he indicating in someone's mouth. how is that okay? >> i'm not saying that's okay. it's a terrible comment. all i'm saying is when you say a terrible comment you should be judged by whether or not your ratings are up or down and if you're not a good host get rid of you. >> again i'll split the difference. part of it is definitely how you handle it. there were a couple of columns written about how he survived and baldwin d

he had not left that -- depiction of a woman as they did about anti-gay homophobic remarks made by alec baldwin. i think they were really in an uncomfortable position, a lot of women have had a lot of ugly things said about them and on television and otherwise and there's sometimes not the same degree of consequences as there may be for other people. >> do you feel like, paul, do you feel like msnbc took too long to make this kind-decision? they took their time and put their thumb to the wind and found out that there was outrage about this. but there was a particular sort of outrage, the outrage was from the right, the idea that sarah palin and by the way a woman obviously was being attacked was part of the outrage and the campaign that just did not quit. >> i wonder if you think these sorts of cases are proxior broader political fights that we have now for conservatives in the media as well as in the political arena? >> i think there's no doubt. but what concerns me about this issue is two things, consistency and hypocrisy, because you have these cable news anchors who to make waves an
