david webb, you're a tea party guy.w frustrated were you and do you feel like this was a real failure to not push for something in the debt ceiling deal? >> i'm frustrated with the spending problem in congress. i'm frustrated with speaker boehner. i'm frustrated with the republicans on this issue. it's disheartening to see that the federal government as a whole, they're all to blame for this, republicans and democrats, and otherwise, for this spending problem. with that said, i see a point of strategy in this. the point of strategy which is the bitter bipill we have to swallow, we have no choice, is republicans need to not buy more bullets, political bullets for the democrats going into 2014. we will have no chance of stopping obama for two more years if we don't win the house, take more seats in the house. if we don't win the senate, and we're able to either override the president, there are democrats who will vote with us on some issues. so i'm conflicted, i'm disappointed, but i understand the strategy point that cou

365, david webb.se] ladies and gentlemen please welcome the national grassroots coordinator kelly carender. ladies and gentlemen please welcome author of government for liberty micropatrick leahy. ladies and gentlemen please welcome the president and founder of smart girl politics, stacy will lott. >> why are you people standing? first thing, this is serious business but not that serious. let me go little right part on you for a minute. all of the years causing trouble before the tea party movement the one thing we had to do was to learn your craft to have to do it right. you had to be involved and be committed and you have to have funds of the first thing i want you to do is remember that this is not some need a barrel of cracker brand crowd so you can laugh and you can smile. so if you free to enjoy a good go free to do all the things we tell you. talk low if you have to. this movement was never about a bunch of stick in the mud people. they were happy warriors. remember that phrase? how many of you

the man who asked those questions with us, david webb. so first off, you go there.lot of tension in the room because how many times do they really get confronted on their own bigoted comments? that's what these are. this is the typical operational model of the reverend barber's al sharptons. look what they do. they attack and then they hide behind, in his case, he hides behind the pulpit, says it's just a language of the pulpit. these guys get away it way too long. and i understand the senator's point. he's not going to confront them. he's a sitting united states senator. but it's up to us as media and frankly as citizens to confront them with this. it was not a dangerous environment, but it's clearly a good representation of the progressive movement in this country. i marched with them, talked with them. i asked them questions. these are uninformed people. and then they shout me down because they don't dare -- i'm facing them in a room where everybody is clapping. they all agree them. but now they have to shout me down rather than let me ask the question. >> right.

listened to most of the discussion, i think the one thing that really popped out at me was what david webblking about that i think is really fundamental, and here's what i want people to understand. our issues at the rnc level, i think, are fundamental, getting on the ground in communities on a long-term basis, and here's the problem. what's happened over the last several years at the rnc, the entity that i'm in charge of, is we have become, unfortunately, an organization that has shown up about once every four years, five months before an election. we have become a part-time party. to david's point, the things we're trying to do differently, it sounds very intelligent, but it's not what's going on, is we are putting in place in as many communities as possible that we can pay for, long-term, full-time engagement in african-american, hispanic, asian communities across the country. that's number one. number two, we got to be in every battleground state nonstop. and that's where, i think, we've really been getting killed. we've got about a $35 million data upgrade and helping us speak to and

david webb joins us now, host of the david webb show, and he's a fox news contributor.en. welcome to both of you. >> morning, martha. martha: this whole thing was accompanied by this very sort of almost propagandist-looking pro-putin video montage to talk about the russian leader, and, you know, obviously, you know, what most people know and understand from following the situation is that, you know, putin is the biggest backer of assad in syria. assad, you know, is said to have been, or you know, the overseer of 130,000 deaths in the recent unrest in that country, and there's a lot more to be said about, you know, human rights issues, the gay rights issues in russia. a lot of things that bob costas could have brought up here and did not. richard, let me start with you. >> usually i do like bob costas, but this time i absolutely, completely disagree with him. i think vladimir putin has been everything but a peacemaker. he's stood in the way of progress, and beyond that fact it's not only what putin does, it's what he justifies. the atrocities to lgbtq folks in the nation

i listen to most of the discussion, i think the one thing that really popped out at me is what david webbking about. here is what i want people to understand our issues at national level, rnc level are are, i think, fundamental hitting in on the ground in communities on a long-term basis here is the problem. what happened over several years at rnc, entity i'm in charge of, is that we've become, unfortunately, an organization that has shown up about once every four years, five months before an election. we have become a part time party. to david's point, things we're trying to do differently sounds reasonable and intelligent, but i ammis that is not what is going on. we're putting in place as many communities as possible that we can pay for, long-term, full-time, engagement and african american, hispanic, asian communities across the country. that is number one. number two, we've got to be in every battle ground state, nonstop. and that is where we've been getting killed about a $35 million data upgrade in helping us speak to, and identify and segment different voter communities. then, las

. >> that was david webb's first attempt to try to get north carolina naacp leader to apologize to tim scott. joining me with more when it comes to attacking black conservatives, you agree with me on this, i'm betting. >> listen. i think it was a bad thing to say all the way around, it doesn't help the cause. you can argue that scott's politics are conservative, but -- >> so what? >> so what, that's right. >> i tell you one thing about conservative african-americans. also the republican party generally who complains about blacks vote enmass. you never see them go into the black community. rand paul went to howard university in washington. >> he's been going all over the place. >> why republicans don't go in and campaign. i know they don't think they're going to get the votes. if you're going to get a message out. >> i agree, and they need a message, and it's got to be different than being the democratic party. i want to get back to this, though. now the latest tim scott, every black conservative i have many friends, condy rice, colin powell. there is an acceptance of attacking black co

. >> joining me now, david webb and alexis mcgill johnson. he was asked that, why he featured so many white men in his web series, comedians in cars. his answer was basically, i don't think of it in terms of black and white. i think of it in terms of funny or not funny, it works out this way. now you have some people in particular talking about how, well, he's not interested in trying to include naurn white in anything in his work, and he's downplaying the work of everyone from richard pryor and bill cosby to others. yes, comedy should represent the entire pie chart of america. >> what are we going to have now, the comedy police? or the keystone cops as i would have to call that? comedy is about being politically incorrect, about telling a story. are you telling me that when i've been on shows, is that are predominantly black shows, pretty much all black cast, crew whatever. there's some racism if it's all black or white? this is ridiculous. seinfeld is 100% right. it's taking our real lives and extending them. >> yes, it's comedy, but he see

all credit to our colleague david webb who went in there, new -- if you noticed the first thing that happened they laughed. what's so funny about that? the second thing they do is they say my job. my calling for the naacp is this now what the naacp represents? that you can call an advancing black conservative a ventriloquist dummy? to me, i'm not stopping here because this is now -- it has reached the point of critical pass in my view the way black conservatives are treated. it's gone on long enough. it starts for clarence thomas. it goes to collin powell. it goes to condi rice. many black conservative they have been called the worse, most horrific most vial names that i can ever imagine. and, for some reason, nobody holds the naacp aaccountable. we have been asking them to come on this program and to either repudiate the comments of their north carolina chapter or admit that this is a liberal organization and it's the advancement of liberal colored people, democratic colored people but not conservatives if they are going to allow that type of rhetoric to be used. >> you know, i get

david webb of fox asked the naacp marchers if president obama has failed the black community.se. >> black unemployment is about double the national rate. that's a real tragedy. are you frustrated with president obama? do you think he's failed? >> no. no. i think he's tried and i think congress has failed him. >> did he promise us more? has he failed? >> i don't think so. he's working real hard. the republicans -- >> you think the president has failed the black community? >> no. i think republicans have failed. i think the congress has failed. they have not done their job. >> congressman, so in those responses, a lot of people said, well, congress has not failed -- has not performed, either democrats or republicans or both. what do we do about intractable black unemployment in this country that seems to be getting worse? >> i think the president has done a very good job under difficult circumstances. black unemployment under his presidency has come down since peaking during the high of the great recession. in fact, in 2013, there was two-plus point improvement in lower black un

david koschman case. the sun-times reports special prosecutor dan webb turned over his evidence to the feds last june.-j vanecko ... a nephew of former mayor daley... pled guilty last month to throwing the punch that lead to koschman's death back in 2004. webb said he was unable to charge chicago police with breaking any law for botching the investigation. but he says some officers who were involved in the case may be under investigation for similar activities in other cases. the murder case against a suburban businessman may go to the jury by early next week. yesterday, a fourth woman, kathy rettke, testified she had an affair with allan kustok... and just a day after their first meeting, kustok's wife anita was found shot to death. prosecutors say kustok was a womanizer who wanted out of his marriage... and used an internet web site to meet women for discreet sex. the defense is challenging the way blood, gunpower residue, and other physical evidence against kustok was handled. testimony resumes this morning. a state audit is highly critical of governor quinn's anti-violence program, saying much of

. >> david, let me ask you about bridget kelly in particular as we talk about top aides and the defense lines they've using. she's using the webb hubbell defense used in the clinton years during the whitewater investigation. he was a former top aide to clinton and a law partner of hillary clinton convicted of doctoring his legal bills as part of the whitewater investigation and the court held up a constitutional right on the right to withhold material on the grounds it was a fishing expedition by ken starr. it's hard to make the case this is a fishing expedition designed to tarnish the image of bridget kelly given how deeply she appears to have been involved in this. >> she is the key person if you're investigating whether the lanes were closed for political payback. she's the person who knows the answer. she started the closures. she did this, as you noted, in her capacity as a state employee. here is the oversight body trying to figure out what happened. they are well within their rights to say turn over any information you have. they're not pursuing their own criminal charges. they cannot do that. so every state law is diffe
