david axelrod -- >> whoa. >> yeah, we're going to -- >> when we ask david axelrod what was up, why theyf they started telling the truth. >> when he was asked, have you considered resigning, he firmly said, i have not, did that describing you as odd? >> what strikes me as odd is he gets paid $44 million a year and i would say very few people would get paid $44 million a year would say i feel like resigning. i can't believe he gets paid that much money running the nfl. mike, i also -- i can't believe the nfl has tax exempt status. the owners need to understand, they're opening up so many cans of worms here. i hate to say it, but they still have a very big decision to make on whether goodell stays or goes because i think capitol hill needs to start looking at the national football league and asking why is a multibillion dollar outfit get tax exempt status. why do they, first of all, get tax exempt status, mike? >> you're asking the wrong person. major league baseball's the same deal. >> why are americans funding these sports, these games, with their money, whether they go to a baseball gam

raw politics into his -- politics into his comments. >> i don't know what david axelrod is up to. for obama and i didn't expect him to do a lot things that he did. >> if you were to right now, in 2009 say, the president of the united states of america, barack obama, was going to unilaterally launch airstrikes into a muslim country with no u.n. or congressional approval, people would say you have to be crazy. >> historically though, many on the left, i agree with you, kirsten. he should have gone to congress. republicans that don't think he should are hypocrites. they're the same ones saying he should have gone to congress on obamacare. >> they're cowardly. we live in a post-constitutional america. the constitution is dead letter. of the why all the democracy promotion righties are disillusioned. we don't have democracy here at home, how can we promote it overseas? he should have gone to congress. he doesn't. >> he didn't in libya either. i can't was never approved. >> it turned out great. >> many on the left have disdain for the constitution. >> i don't know about that. many on th

david axelrod. he's the man who helped then-senator barack obama win the white house on a platform that included opposition to the iraq war. we'll talk about the president's shift toward military action, including in iraq. >>> and later, in the show congressmen charlie rangel weighs in on the president's strategy to defeat isis. ♪ [ male announcer ] even more impressive than the research this man has at his disposal is how he puts it to work for his clients. morning. morning. thanks for meeting so early. come on in.

. >> if you're david axelrod or david plouffe, because they love this state, have such nostalgia forowa. we see numbers like that across the country. that's what it looks like in a lot of places for obama. >> they want him not on the campaign trail, they want him out behind closed doors in many ways fund-raising. nobody wants to really be seen with him because he's such a drag and starting to be a drag in terms of women, the core constituency. >> bernie sanders is a movement and message candidate. he is at 5%, he doesn't expect to peat hillary clinton. joe biden at 15%, are you just saying i'm only here in case she doesn't run. i'm only here paubecause the dae announces that he becomes irrelevant in washington as vice president. >> look at the speech biden gave about isis, the passion he showed, we'll follow them to the gates of hell. activists in the democratic party saying we're with clinton, she's our front-runner but martin o'malley, amy klobuchar from minnesota, bernie sanders, there's room for a battle. >> clinton wants people to run. she doesn't want to be out there by herself

followed by south carolina republican senator lindsey graham, former obama administration strategist david axelrod and illinois democrat senator richard durbin. the 13 most frequent guests were all men. >> sreenivasan: for more about the situation in ukraine, we are joined now by kimberly marten. she is a political science professor at barnard college and columbia university. v and so putin was able to send in forces right before this cease-fire. and then create this kind of almost no man's land and there weren't any new rounds of economic sanctions this week. seems like he was in a much better position coming out of that. >> i think everyone realizes that whatever political settlement is going to be one that favors putin's interests. russia-- russia has the abilityo control as a result of the gas pipeline link. >> frozen conflict i mean in the region in georgia, and then in moldova, we found transnistra and eastern ukraine as this long standing conflict? >> people have been feeling that for the last several months that that's what the end result is going to be in putin's interest because he would

i'm talking about david axelrod who helped him get elected and i'm talking about valerie gerrit. i will give you a concrete example of this. in my book i had discussed a needing that took place between bill and hillary clinton and caroline kennedy. at her apartment on park avenue in new york. caroline kennedy was about to take up the post as ambassador to tokyo in japan and she watched advice from hillary, the former secretary of state about what she should expect. hillary told her according to the sources that she spoke to later don't be surprised if your marching orders as ambassador comes not from the state department but from valerie gerrit in the white house who is essentially a political advisor and not a policy person. i think that says volumes about how this administration has been run. they workedt how together as a couple, particularly in the political sense. how -- guest: that would take us a long time. would say as quickly as i can say this, that the clintons have a marriage that is somewhat similar to the marriage of franklin and eleanor roosevelt. it is essentially

because the others who are waffling for a political bomb want to stay away from it because as david axelrodd after her criticisms of the president handling of syria, basically saying you voted for iraq, this is years later. >> the border issue is one that is interesting. the border between iraq and syria. no doubt we will come back to this, particularly after the president speaks tomorrow we will talk about it on "outnumbered." president obama will address the nation. on his strategy for dealing with isis, what we can expect, more on that. married americans are in the minority. the growing trend of living single. sweet! spicy! savory! enjoy it all...

joining me is director at the university of chicago institute of politics, david axelrod. d in washington, the director of the woodrow wilson center, dame harmon. david, good to see you. >> good to see you, alex. >> it was a shameful contrast onneer side of the atlantic today. why has he not ordered them to come back to washington and call for a joint session of congress on something as important as this? >> my impression is part of the reason is that neither the republican or the democratic leaders were eager for him to do it. they didn't want to take a vote before the election and he bac acreed to their wishes. they wanted to go back and campaign. the american people are overwhelmingly in support of it. there is no clam for for a vote perhaps in center quotes, msnbc is one of them. >> i think there are a lot of americans who would want to know more about this. >> i'm not making a judgment on the -- on their judgment. i'm just telling you what the practical politics are. i've said it before on your air that i think that senator obama would have been among those calling for

>> david axelrod, thank you very much for talking to us tonight. we'll have to keep talking about it on another night. >> we'll have more opportunities i'm sure. >> >> tonight on "all in," the first wave of air strikes inside syria. the u.s. building a coalition that includes five arab nations. >> we now have an opportunity to send a very clear message that the world is united. >> primary target? isis. >> we're going to do what's necessary to take this fight to the group. >> we'll look at just who the corasang group is and just how long could this new war last. >>> then, renewed calls for congress to take action on authorization of military force. we'll talk to one of the congressman demanding that. plus, new political attack ad highlighting isis. >> president obama and senator shaheen seem confused about nature of the threat. not me. >> "all in" starts right now. >> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. it's being described by the pentagon as only the beginning. part of the expanded bombing campaign which began with an extensive attack on i

. >> david axelrod, thank you very much. >> joining me now for more on the president's expanding war against the terror groups. "wall street journal" white house correspondent carol lee. jeff, you have written about the reluctant president and praised the fact that he pulled this coalition together. five arab countries and more than you might have expected. >> right. a couple of things have happened in the last day that go against the conventional wisdom about barack obama. he is a loner and can't build coalitions with the foreign nations. here he has a pretty impressive coalition. the core sunni arab states and of course the second criticism is he is hesitant about using force here. he defined an american national security threat. and he is gone and led the action against isis. no one else in the world will lead. he is am can be to a point i think in his presidency where he realizes even though he doesn't find this acceptable, he realizes there is only one super power that the world looks to the united states for leadership and he will lead on this crucial question. >> he is going t

but i've got to get david axelrod out here. >> i will say this.n say he's a great father. he's great at fathering children. and that's not the same thing as being a great father. if the authorities have to be called in and there's 4 years old, no regional or cultural differences explain that away. it's a crime and a horrible crime. >> thanks for joining us tonight. >> okay, so there i was wrapping up the interview, thanking bob costas and he suddenly throws in the most talked about thing he said in the entire interview. now, bob was great every minute of that interview, by judging by twitter, that final comment about the distinction between simply fathering children and being a great father got the biggest reaction of the night. and when you're a guest on a show like this, you never get enough time to say everything you want to say, which is why i create a segment called "the very last word" which some of you have never seen because that segment is not on the tv show. it appears online at the lastword.msnbc.com. the idea is because guests never ge

he had some well known clashes with the first chief of staff, rahm emanuel and david axelrod over the issue of detainees, do you try them in the justice system or military tribunals. those type of fights, shutting down guantanamo. do you give miranda rights to these guys. those type of issues where he would get heat inside the white house because they felt he wasn't political enough, and yet to the outside world would get criticized from republicans on capitol hill, they thoughtesq s ishz being too political. he was just a point person to attract a lot of attacks. >> as reported, mr. holder doesn't plan to step down until a successor is named. we know what that means ahead in that town where battles seem to be on-going and nonstop. >> well, let's look at the calendar here. we have an election coming up. the senate, obviously an attorney general has to be confirmed by the senate before they can take office. which senate is going to confirm him. is it the current makeup, 55, 45 advantage that democrats have with two independents. i think by stepping down when he did, if the president na
