he took his opportunity to do it right lot of really hateful people out there let's move on to chuck schumer who also is hateful but he has a specific hate towards. basically caffeine i think take a look at me let me first explain this this is something it's called aero shot it has powdered caffeine it's the size of a chapstick has the same amount of caffeine as a large cup of coffee and the maker says apparently it's safe for people as young as twelve years old but this is what chuck schumer thinks about it. every shot is nothing more than a club drug reporting and here it's designed to give the user the ability to drink . went to a drug. so is this an enum are i don't understand that are you getting to the point where chucks you were banned straight out of because it sounds like yeah everything can be used as a party and hands are just going to stay away which all his wall street buddies like need to do their annual rip offs you know a lot of yellow red bull probably like ok that is wall street but you think what you want and cocaine it's crazy i get it you think illegal but you know i don

. >>> and also ahead, senator chuck schumer will be here onset. but first, bill karins with a check on the forecast. bill? >> good morning, everyone. after the coldest weekend of the year in new england, we're going to get a warm-up as we head through the week. let's start with the temperatures, still cold, you need to bundle yourself up and the kids and turn the heater on high in the car. this is exiting warmer temperatures in d.c. and pittsburgh. much warmer than we had over the weekend. and the temperatures today, not bad, a decent recovery. still a little chilly in new england, maybe a snow flurry or two around buffalo. pittsburgh, slight chance of a shower late today. big storm out in new mexico it's going to spread late today. that's the travel trouble spot. thankfully, though, not a lot of big cities, most of the heavy snow is going to avoid areas like kansas city and denver. strong winter storm in the middle of the country with thunderstorms the biggest issue, dallas, houston, and san antonio. you're watching "morning joe" brewed by starbu

as chuck schumer said this morning, you know, you can't negotiate with boehner. i mean, he's all over the map. he goes back behind closed doors, he gets whipped pretty hard by the tea partyers and the tea partyers want to defeat president obama. the only way they're going to walk out of the room if they know absolutely they got the teal and the american people know they drove that deal home. >> right. >> it might be a good strategy for the democrats to walk from it. i don't think so. i think a couple months into paying a little bit more out of your paycheck, it's going to hit a lot of americans. >>> now let's turn to the conversation of jeb bush. there's no question about it that there are some republicans out there who are floating the trial balloon about jeb bush, maybe trying to entice him to get into this thing because they're not happy with all of the above. what do you make of it? do you think that jeb bush would actually jump into this thing? >> i don't. i mean, if jeb bush is going to do it, he's going to wait until 2016. right now, it's still too soon. t

chuck schumer is a democrat. he should be on the side of barack obama asking for a one-year extension. that's what the president wanted, that's what the american people want, that's what the economy is demanding. certainty in the marketplace, so that's what we passed. it's just absurd that only in this town can you be, i guess, called out for doing the right thing, and the right thing is to give the american people the one-year extension, not a two-month band-aid so we can come back and play politics with this in january and february. we need to come back and get other jobs bills done in january and february and not keep doing this over and over again. this is, again, small potatoes. >> congressman kingston, we appreciate your time. thank you so much for your thoughts today. we want to go ahead and remind you that house speaker john boehner will be talking about this issue in just a few moments. in the meantime, i want to bring in former congressman debbie wasser mitchell. i saw you next to me shake yourg head th

one of the members of that exclusive fraternity was chuck schumer. someone that many of you know and that many of you understand as having a tremendous passion for israel that is deep and infectious. we slept on the bottom of this house, the living room area. every night, before we went to sleep, he made me say a prayer. i made him say that hail mary. he learned from my passion as an italian and i learned from his passion. i think it was a little bit over 20 years ago, he and i and some of our dearest friends had a chance to travel to israel together. that visit, i believe it was in august of '91, left a very deep and lasting impression on me. at a time when hundreds of thousands of jews from the soviet union were making -- and fulfilling a dream to live in a free and more prosperous life in their historic homeland. that trip gave me an even stronger appreciation for israel's promise as a jewish and democratic state. coming just months after saddam hussein's missiles had attacked tel aviv and haifa, this also underscored a complex array of security t

we have blogs report on senator chuck schumer flying in from new york into reagan national airport, not necessarily expecting to have a camera showed in his face, or even in the case of the vice-president when he was on capitol hill, there was a reporter from human events who basically broke protocol and asked the vice president a question. he was caught very off guard. do the politicians have to be on their game 100% of the time, or should they just expect to be presented with the unexpected at any moment? >> in the case of herman cain, he raised that he was involved in a 13-year affair with someone, and there are these questions of timing. why now should that matter? some people do like to say i got you. if you are going to be controversial, you had better be clean, and that goes all the way back. why should it matter whether or not you had a restraining order or she could not pay her bills because she was not working. what does that have to do with the allegation? >> i was wondering what that had to do with it. when you have somebody who burns a hole in our typewriters, we need to te

there is a joke about long island and chuck schumer is offended. mccain jokes and he is a stooge. democrat not fit to share mccain's vietcong prison cell and he is a saint. republican jokes and it's flat. democrat jokes they call it a slip. is that fair, is that balanced? whether you are a democrat or republican is that right? i'm not saying one side is the saint around the other is a sinner. but is the media acting like a saint? picking and choosing who is right for rebuke and who gets a pass. it doesn't mean not holding anyone's feet to the fire. how about everyone's feet to the fire. on this show i tried to make this much clear. i am not red. i am not blue. i'm green. your green, your money. it's why i hold republicans account to believe budget-cutting promises from which many try to wiggle out but i don't let them. just like i did with president bush in 2008 on the financial rescues. i said then i do now, they would never work out. that president's people didn't like it then and this president's people don't like it now. i don't care. people he
