let's say on the democratic side, could mark warner when the democratic nomination? i think that would be very hard. then there is jeb bush. i think he would be a very strong candidate but do not think he will run. he would like to, but i do not think he will run for personal reasons. you enter into all these things. that is a very long way of saying who knows? it is going to be a lot of fun to watch. who have i left out? i do not have my cheat sheet in front of me. tom harkin?[laughter] i think he is retiring. what is the story that was reported that his wife read game change and said you are not running. no idea whether that is true or not but that that was kind of funny. the old adage that senators when winnations.-- never nominations. up until 2008 the last u.s. senator to win the presidency was john kennedy. then you got to 2008 and had to u.s. senators. -- two u.s. senators. if i were a party, i would rather have a governor as a nominee, someone not perceived to be a part of washington. does that mean that any governor could win the? obviously not. we have exha

cleaned the democrats clocks. you go back and look at the 2010 midterms that was one of the biggest shellacking the republicans had. the democrats lost a total nationwide all the way down the ballot. it was because of obama care. and the rising debt and the fact that northbound was opposing it. these people show up. now, what they're salivating is winning the house in 2014. if they get that, there's no such thing as a lame duck second term. they won't need a congress. all they are is a rubber stamp, whatever obama wants to do the past two years, sign it, congress rubber stamps it. he can't be stopped. that's why they want it. they remember 2010. he's out there trying to change public opinion on health care so it doesn't replicate in 2014 what happened in 2010. he cannot afford for a bunch of tea party people to show up in 2010, voting against him, and holding the house republicans and maybe winning the senate for the senate. that's one of the reasons he's campaigning. second reason he's campaigning for it, is simp

but even the democratic women will worry. so i talked to several who said if he does this in this but she is trying to get communication and trying to booker on the sunday shows for something other than abortion because they want to establish her to have other expertise to and other interest as democratic women band together, they don't want to be stereotyped as women who do with women issues. feinstein talks about that. >> i talked to dianne feinstein and other senators about this when i was a lonely reporter and the road a couple of stories about women in navigating the senate and in general i think the feinstein point was the men don't even realize they're doing it sometimes when they make it harder for us. i think that feinstein doesn't want to embrace those issues even though she is a champion to fight for abortion rights but she wants to be more active on other issues. and i would argue she is not very well liked by now as she defense the nsa in the intelligence community for what americans think is the interest of prog

democratic national chairman. so i think in a -- in a really way, this is a great jump ball situation where side has a natural claim on the other. just sort of how people feel about national the two in about parties may steer -- may steer ome of those moderate independents one direction or the other. keep in mind that four years obama had just -- ad just taken office, just taken office. nominee the democratic just won the nomination. and within a month -- and there was a pole or two that showed him ahead of cdonald -- of bob mcdonald. a poll or two. suddenly, deeds started just dropping. picking up.rted deeds must have been -- did i say something wrong? did i not shower this morning? just happened? i just started dropping like a stone. the reason was president obama's numbers had started dropping at that point. party had just -- just almost overnight lost the omentum they had in 2008, a state that had gone democratic in 2008. nd suddenly it started transitioning right out from under deeds and you saw that ational

so women's rights, women's groups, these are democratic groups, democratic issues, very much in the minds of policy leaders and increasingly in the public. you saw that in 2012 with the war on women seen as part of the 2012 presidential election campaign. so that gives democratic women a certain amount of increased power because they are in the party that is open to it that issues, their own policy priorities. they can pursue their own policy priorities and score political points against republicans and raise money for democrats. it is sort of a win-win for them . >> host: more democratic women are elected in both houses of congress. >> guest: absolutely. and the gap is much bigger than the gap is in the voting public. so the average gender gap in the voting public, were talking about about seven points. delicate women in the senate, 16 democratic women, for republican women. a much larger gap. of the democratic women, they call barbara mikulski the dean of women's rights. very often harry reid will go to her and asked her to do something that will draw attention to women or the women the

let's say on the democratic side, could mark warner when the democratic nomination? i think that would be very hard. is jeb bush. i think he would be a very strong candidates but do not think he will run. he would like to, but i do not think he will run for personal reasons. you enter into all these things. that is a very long way of saying who knows? it is going to be a lot of fun to watch. who have i left out? i do not have my cheat sheet in front of me. tom harkin? i think he is retiring. what is the story that was reported that his wife read game change and said you are not running. no idea whether that is true or not but that that was kind of funny. the old adage that senators when nominations. last u.s.008 the senator to win the presidency was john kennedy. then you got to 2008 and had to u.s. senators. two u.s. senators. if i were a party, i would rather have a governor as a nominee, someone not perceived to be a part of washington. does that mean that any governor could win the? obviously not. we have exhausted all questions. twitter questions. hopefully you

wants to have nothing to do with war how democratic altimetry it really is in your view clearly not all the rebels are perfect democrats very far from it and some very extreme factions amongst them which everybody's extremely worried about what i would say is the protests started as a peaceful democratic democratically inspired protest against the government the government reacted to that with violence which then created a counter-reaction of violence now you know. there's a there's a very complicated argument about whose fault it is and who's who's most to blame this government is not a democratically elected government as it happens but they have a certain digital mysie or they had a certain intimacy before that now the problem is that if the government portrays the rebels all as foreign terrorists that is also ridiculous. characterization of the rebels really very hard or a lot of them will you call them rebels and you can call some of their tactics terrorism if you like if they if they are using violence against civilians that is terrorism is a tactic no i say i'm not here to de

democrats will like that.t will make them look pretty good in front of their base after 11:00 if cordray goes through. that is something that liberals and democrats really want. they will feel a little bit better about the process after they get that. maybe that will grease up negotiations. host: does senator reid have all 54 votes or 51 votes? how many votes does he need if he goes forward with the nuclear option, and does he have all democrats and two independents on board? guest: he does not have all democrats between 03 that are not with him. senator carl levin has never for this. he says changes -- changing the rules are a bad idea. yor of arkansas is not for it. there is one other senator, i'm blanking on the third, the question is, does reid have 54? does he have 51? he says he does. does vice president joe biden show up? he only needs 50 because the vice president can break a tie. the white house would not touch the question yesterday of whether senator -- vice used tot joe biden, who be a senator, pre

he doesn't act like a democrat. i mean i think that yes democratically elected but under conditions that many egyptians thought would kind of compromise conditions. and i think what is now happening is this incredible massive vote of no confidence you know the petition of twenty million or or so that's huge. so it's moved from a situation where he was being given a chance i worked a lot with some of the young activists in two thousand from two thousand and nine onwards and they said to me we'll we'll give them a chance but if it doesn't work out it's back to the streets ok their brain you know it but it's interesting just because you know he's democratically elected i want to stay with the constitutionality of this is because it's setting a very important precedent a dangerous precedent if the military does step in the road it is a dangerous precedent but what other option do they have of the military is going to watch the situation in egypt cascade into violence this is the only choice of they have in order to keep

rights because they struggled initially at least was presented as a democratic struggle now when you know that house of the population and that is women and children that and i think we know from social studies that women and children would. usually tend to accept all sorts of atrocities rather than having war i mean they would subject themselves to humiliation maybe they would suggest subject to the tyranny for the sake of saving lives i think men are far less likely from social studies to you accept something like that so when you are suggesting that the rebels should be if. encouraged in that democratic struggle and you know well in advance that at least half of the population wants to have nothing to do with war how democrats ultimately it really is in your view clearly not all the rebels are perfect democrats very far from it and some very extreme factions amongst them which everybody's extremely worried about what i would say is the protests started as a peaceful democratic democratically inspired protest against the government the government reacted to that with violence which

who are still democrats. groups that want to be upwardly mobile. they care about inequality in a material way that i'm not sure is true of their white counterparts. i think politicians will respond accordingly by saying, we have to meet their concerns, which are concerns centered on inequality. >> i'm skeptical of this. i think tom harkin saying that, you know, liberals win by moving to the left is similar to ted cruz or any tea party republican saying, republicans -- >> i totally disagree. demographics are different here. the demographics -- when ted cruz speaks that language, he is speaking to a white, older electorate who cannot sustain their party. >> prokticly what americans say they want, as chris hayes used to say, populism is popular. >> but tom harkin, it's a country that perceives itself as middle class. we discussed this on the break. i think real hard-edged messaging about basically the pie is shared in the wrong way, class warfare, doesn't sell to the electorate -- >> has it changed -- have the l

the house democrats had gone to oklahoma, the senate democrats, they went to new mexico. out of state for six weeks. they shut down the texas state legislature rather than just let texas republicans quietly roll their bill into law. ultimately texas republicans got their new maps but not before democrats made sure the entire country could see what the republicans were up to. texas democrats use the power of their minority to maximum effect by dragging the process out for as long as they could. you might remember the same kind of thing happened in wisconsin in 2011 when the new republican majority in that state moved to strip union rights. 14 democrats in wisconsin state senate, the whole democratic caucus, fled the state of wisconsin to go to an undisclosed location. also known as the state of illinois. they high tailed it across state lines and in so doing those wisconsin democrats denied the republican majority, the quorum to strip union rights. the democrats filibustered with their feet for three weeks and turned out to be enough time for tens of thousands of wisconsin

i think the democratic women there is less conflict. so i think that many of them have policy priorities that relate to the women's rights issues or social welfare issues not as a total package but as an important part of what the do. the automatically have a source of electoral support in the women's organizations as they become more central and if you look at this for the way the campaign finance is going and we want to rely on the individual donors, the donate for ideological reasons. if i am a business, i donate to the person who is on the committee that had influence over what i do. so if i am looking@baucus, someone people would know, the chair of the finance committee, it is not hard to imagine that on the top of that list there's a bunch of insurance companies in the banking organizations and stuff like that so i'm donating to the people that preside and will make the decision on my business but if i am an individual person i'm taking ideologically do they have the positions that support my position speed as we go further toward

the democratically elected president was removed forcefully from the office. the fear is that this might radicalize especially the younger silent rank of the muslim brotherhood. maybe in a few months in the years to come. >> thank you very much. sounds like a lot going on in the background. >> well, leaders around the world have been digesting the day's indents in egypt. the united nations general secretary called or a return to civilian rule as soon as possible. >> in germany, the foreign minister was more outspoken, calling morsi's outing a major setback for democracy. of course, indents are being watched most closely in the region. here is more. >> international opinion is divided over president mohamed morsi's ouster. numerous countries have expressed alarm over the forced removal of a democratically elected leader. >> it is a basic right and a democracy for opposition members to voice their concerns and stage peaceful protests, but it is unacceptable for a government which has come to power through democratic elections to be toppled by the army. this is e

about democratic american presidents or or you know any other country that democratically elected their president so i know that their partisan was killed he was the first time an election quite there was no to this for the now first time you get was that for you i mean they measured the first star and you can't you can't step in you can step in and be extremist right away i mean i mean hey look good america is what you want for. this long to subvert the constitution and be super for design years now if you get this guy in and in a matter of eighteen months he's rewritten the constitution seized power and trying to foist islamic law on the people and then when the army gave him a chance they only gave him a chance that he would get i was enchanted and so i mean because he did gave me the people gave me ten simple take a little bit of a they say he did you don't know what you want to do with this is you don't do what he did for germany to sit in because i don't believe in the job and so they wanted him to take that with in his of his it's not was you know our action they removed him go a

but lately, democrats have been saying they can turn texas blue.ther that's possible may hinge on a renewed debate this week over that hottest of hot buttons, abortion. the eyes of the political world have turned once again to the texas state capitol in austin as the house began debate over strict, new abortion restrictions. the bill, which would require clinics to upgrade to "surgical- level centers" and force many existing facilities to close, was previously derailed after a dramatic filibuster. fort worth democrat wendy davis spoke for nearly 11 hours before the bill died in a midnight procedural dispute. but after governor rick perry called the legislature back into a second special session this week, activists for and against the legislation descended on the capitol again. hundreds lined the halls-- opponents in orange, supporters in blue. >> so, i'm just standing here not against women or their rights but just as a woman who has experienced it, saying, "no, we need better care for our women." >> i believe in reducing the need for abortions bu

-- and most of the democrats i'm talking about like chuck schumer, they're all corporate democrats. we all know that they're not for us. it's the first time they do something that's for regular people, we get people, and it's so hard to listen on c-span this morning, because we have regular people getting on, talking about how the republicans are fighting for them and the democrats are gainst them. the democrats are weak and spineless most of the time, but when we finally get something to do, we get normal people, regular, middle-class people coming on and talking about how they are against them. let's be realistic. host: i'm sorry, so let's ask you this. if the roles were reversed and republicans gained control of the senate next round, will you feel any differently? caller: i think if there's a republican president, he should be able to have the people that he puts in, that he wants to nominate, let them go up for a vote f. there's something wrong with them, then let the vote prove that. host: ok. let's go on to theresa, in columbus, ohio, on our independent line. hi, theresa. cal

we live in a democratic country. we are democrats.should not be caving in to niblet alone -- i can't say enough exactly about what you said. every single one of us needs to grow a pair and stand up to these republicans, quit caving, quit compromising. maybe i'm a militant one but i don't think that we need to give an inch to these morons. >> bill: i agree with you bob i hated to see it happen in january. i really thought this time we were going to exercise -- bob before you run away. i'm a californian but olivehurst where is it? >> about 30 miles north of sacramento. >> bill: really? >> caller: caffeine capital of the world. >> bill: are you in the gold country? >> caller: gold country is oroville. i'm actually in yuba county. >> bill: absolutely. good to hear from you my friend. follow us. don't leave. sirius goes away. stay with us. >> we're big with the tweakers. >> bill: out in yuba county. >> announcer: this is the "bill press show." current tv is the place for true stories. with award winning documentaries that take you inside t

one of them democrats. a state senator actually called for impeachment proceedings against the governor. the governor has resisted calls for his resignation and insisted he has complied with the letter of the law. some question whether he has met the spirit of the law in terms of disclosing gifts and receiving things, but at this point there is a distinct likelihood he could ride it out if it we are to believe what he says, which is he is not going to resign. the general assembly which they bicamera legislation control the republicans. and it would call the governor calling a special session to call impeachment proceedings. if you believe his rejections of any calls for resignation, then it is considerable that he will ride this out. at least for the remaining six months of his term. >> michael: i didn't realize that the hoops were so complicated. and when you hear about the fact that he thinks that he's doing just fine, and he's living within the letter of the law sort of a stand your ground way if you wil

need to be a democrat. i recently changed to the republicans due to the actions of the republicans since 2008. in the way they've handled everything. and when i had deep concerns about the company i worked for, i wrote nancy pelosi. i wrote the president. i wrote the vice president. i wrote everyone. the only person to respond to me was mitch mcconnell, with honest concern and he actually met and spoke with me about the middle sized company. what they are doing, taking away the rights of the average american, it appalls me. they're out of touch. i think they all need to come back and speak to the people, and remember where they come from and who they're supposed to represent, and follow the laws written. >> host: okay, sharon. katy has this point, what are you up to tonight? i'm glued to c-span2 and my twitter feed. set the stage with what's been happening in the u.s. senate today, lawmakers came in at 2:00 this afternoon for regular business, and then recessed just before 6:00, as the vote was taking place

host: if the democrats agreed to this, and we are going to hear from some democrats a few years ago,t impact will it have if they are on the minority in 2017 or 2019? the minority party, if you change the rules by majority vote we will go nuclear. we will low every procedural rich insight in the senate. that is what they threatened. objected yesterday. the senate needs consent in the afternoon when committees are on the floor. it is considerable that the minority could make the majority quite difficult. it is also conceivable that if democrats do this republicans will come back in office and take away the filibuster on other elements of senate procedure. , it mightminority give the democrats some pods as to what is left as their rights as a minority. -- some pause as to what is left as their rights as a minority. host: you can send us an e-mail or send us a tweet. voices on this, including senator barack obama on the senate floor in 2005. [video clip] >> one day democrats will be in the majority again. mr. president, licensed the talk is more about power than fairness -- i sense the

democratic party.essman chris van hollen was in that meeting. we will have him joining us briefly in a moment. >>> another story we have been following closely today is what we could learn by this friday and the fate of alex rodriguez and major league baseball. according to reports the mlb has told the players union which pros it plans to suspend in its drug investigation and which ones will receive stiffer penalties for allegedly obstructing the biogen sis case. alex rodriguez could face a lifetime bans and his lawyer spelling espn and new york radio, quote, we are focused on an appeal. joining me is ben writer, a staff writer with "sports illustrated." this week's cover store for "sports illustrated" is entitled "the last days of a-rod." and in the interview he talks about being a role model certainly to his own two daur daughters if not other kids out there. ben, thank you for joining us. according to the new york daily news if rodriguez accepted a settlement that could call for him to be suspended

they're trying to echo the democrat party, be perceived by them and liked by democrat voters. it's a losing game. >> rush, i don't want to rush you, so to speak, you mentioned something, the employer mandate and obamacare. dana has a question regarding that. >> yeah. >> do you think that because they did that in, you know, in a slow news weekend they try to get out -- people, there was a poll not too long ago that said 33% of people already think it's been repealed anyway. if you were advising, one of those consultants for the house republicans or the senate republicans, what do you think they should try to do now? >> well, i don't -- see, this is -- i don't know that i'm qualified -- my business isn't politics. and i have opinions about it but i would -- you're going to laugh at me and throw me off the show. i would advise the republicans just say no. just stop this business. >> that's what they do. they take your advice. >> there's nothing -- well then they need to hold fast to it. all that's broken is we're not enforcing the law already on the books. all we -- you know, bob

in the faith it's going to turn democratically head that's what matters yes the ones that democratic way of dealing with it and even though that morsi was adopting and shifting to mordor i think the extremists wahhabi islam but that was another my can is him to do it to within democratic procedure and that is through an elected parliament he should have been pressured and you was moving to was the direction off a new parliamentary election through the parliament people who could help vote them out rather than to use the army which was in their way iching to talk to him and to move him out of the picture because if you look at getting this eight month statement by city he actually told him if there is no compromise hammad out between the two parties within forty eight hours then we hope i want to own mob oh i don't grudge mob which by the way that road map is exactly i call them cope we all think demands made by you not to leave that time i wrote that is another huge force which is the national salvation front both of those and by the way tomorrow do it but now you know that. i have t

about democratic american presidents or or you know any other country that democratically elected their president so i know that their partisan with what he wants to for sure time and election quite there is no to this for the now first time you get was it for if you have a message or the first start and you can't you can't step it you can step in and be extremist right away i mean i mean hey look the americas let him run for principles of procedure it took us this long to subvert the constitution and be super for design years now if you give this guy in a matter of eighteen months he's rewritten the constitution seized power and trying to foist islamic law on the people and then when the army gave him a chance they only gave him a chance that he would get i was enchanted and so many things he did gave me the people gave me and single they came and i know it will never they say if you don't know what he was going to do with you don't do what he did for justice and because i don't believe. they wanted him to take that with his of his it's not within the our action they removed him go ahe

>> democratic leaders try to push it to the floor. negotiate a deal to at least get a vote to override the filibuster. a decent chance it gets out of the senate. what happens then is it will probably die in the house because republican leaders have a leave us alone attitude. after doma they issued all the necessary, we wish the supreme court would uphold it, but the very clear subtext to their message there was, leave us alone. don't look at a us on doma and don't look at us to pass a program. >> remember, an election coming up. what republicans, particularly on that side in the house want to have on their record, you know, that they have this vote and that's something that can be used against them in a primary or any other situation. i think, like you said, a good chance of passing the senate and it gets to the house. >> it is the thing we keep coming back to on every piece of legislation, almost fear of the republican primary challenge. okay, nothing is going to happen. >> all three of these items face long odds. >>> what they're do

senate, along with now john mccain, patrick leahy, republican in arizona, democrat in michigan, democrat in vermont, they are saying aid to egypt should be suspended. the obama administration is saying they are reviewing it but have not yet talked about whether aid to egypt should be suspended temporarily while they wait for democracy to return. we'll take a break. still to come, my first reads in the world of pom particulars, including fight over filibuster, could be about to explode in the senate. of course we'll have more on the george zimmerman trial as we wait for the jury to enter the courtroom as we wait for testimony to get under way. politics planner, the president has a bunch of internal meetings today. scott walker, a 2016er to watch, he's going to be in indiana headlining a fundraiser there. you're watching "the daily rundown" on msnbc. i'm jennifer hudson. i hate getting up in the morning. i love cheese. i love bread. i'm human! and the new weight watchers 360 program lets me be. the reason i'm still in this body feelin' so good isn't because i never go out and enjoy the ext

nothing works around here if you got a democrat ib president and republican house and democratic senate with republican power because of the filibuster. i'm hoping to see the president reach out across the aisle while holding on to the democrats and come to a solution. i think the best thing to do for the country is just start acting like we know what we are doing. that would be a refreshing change! >> senator angus king with a statement, i think, many constituents all around the country would agree with. thank you. good to see you, sir. >> thank you, chris. >>> jackie, let's talk a little bit about this meeting as we saw the president arrive. i think, you know, angus king obviously makes the point. just firing up the democrats isn't going to do that, although this is going to be, as we understand it, something of a pep rally. what can the president accomplish today? >> i mean, this is mostly to get democrats on the same page as they go into august recess to try to put some pressure on republicans going into the fall. so he is meeting with house democrats first. then senate democrats an

a democratic senate. i just don't think that is going to be connected in any way. so if landrieu gets re-elected, i don't think it's going to be because of the governor or the legislature. so i just don't think that connected. but, you know, obviously they could be. >> good morning, greenwood. thank you for this. thank you for the hospitality and hosting it. back to georgia for a quick second, if you would. i think your analysis was that the only way nun is relevant is the g.o.p. nominate somebody exotic. i want to ask if you think if you can consider michelle nun a generational change. ceo of the largest service organization in the world. all of those things. iconic family names, et. cetera. if you layer in the democrats haven't really tried to win in georgia in a couple of cycles. if they try and get somebody registered african-american vote and unmarried women. do you think nunn's candidacy can be relevant? do you think it's about the crazies on the other side? thanks. >> i don't think georgia is yet t

my mom voted democrat or my aunt voted democrat or my grandmother voted democrat, so we are just democratse able to know and understand both sides and then make an educated decision, not just a blind loyalty because when you just blindly follow, oftentimes you fall into a ditch and then you don't know why you're there so you don't know how to get out. >> i know you wanted to jump in. go ahead. >> i'm with you. i'm more conservative than i am gop. and that is the reason because i was brought up in the tea party. now, what i think the difference between the tea party and gop is is people or yen at a timed or politics orientated. the disconnect is when you say the constitution is good, we want to go back to our founding principles. they don't know what the principles are, they don't want to know what the principles are. give them a wallet, buy him a wallet and tell him, here's your charge. never, ever let a police officer take this wallet from you and never, ever let it go empty. that is how you do it. you go and give them capitalism, you give them something to fight for. but you cannot go in

our line for democrats is 585-3885. for democrats it's 202-585-3886. and for independents, the number to call is 202-585-3887. the first test vote came earlier this morning on the nomination of richard cordray to head up the consumer financial protection board, and 17 republicans crossed the line to support the movement of, the cordray nomination. let me read you the names of those who sided with the democrats to vote in the senate was 71-29. ayotte of new hampshire, blunt of missouri, chambliss of georgia, coats of indiana, collins of maine, corker of tennessee, flake of arizona, graham of south carolina, hatch of utah, hoeven of north dakota, isaacson of georgia. kirk of illinois, mccain of a, murkowski and wicker. these 17 republican senators voting to move ahead on the nomination of richard cordray and that was, again, the first test vote. we'll hear more specifics from mitch mcconnell, the republican leader, and harry reid, the democratic leader. but in the meantime, give us a call, 202-585-3885 for democrats and 202-585-3886 for republicans. we'r
