in our "ask ed live" segment, sarah says do you think harry reid will stick to his guns on tp snsh tppis going to change his opinion on fast track and tpp at all. richard wants to know if athletes can form a union, why not music students, law students, or med students? do they not make money for the college? let's cut right to the chase. not as much money as the athletes do and believe me it's all about the money. but it's not just about forming a union as it is about protections. i don't know if the law students or the med students or even the music students get injured in class. i don't think so that they walk out with bad knees and shoulders and maybe concussions at the end of their career. and their funding is a lot different from an athlete's funding. they get a one-year deal. some of these students get four-year scholarships. okay? so the bottom line is these type of students simply are so terribly important for the university but a lot of what is generated in the athletic field goes to fund medical research, goes to fund all of these programs that simply are not revenue producer

maybe ed as ner and mike farrell can explain this to his widow or ask harry reid who gained the senatesage of horrid nominees like this one. this may be the first job that reid has nominated. this is about transferring the power to the people. even the phrase cop killer is just too mean, isn't it really just bigot control? who cares? the media will focus on new jersey traffic instead and ignore this. alas, christie casts a big shadow in everything. >> you didn't pronounce the names correctly? >> which one did i get wrong? >> i figured as much. i want to show, this is what the paternal of order of police had to say in a letter i believe to the administration. they wrote that this nomination was basically a thumb in the eye of our nation's law enforcement. it demonstrates a total lack of regard or empathy for those who strive to keep you and everyone else in our nation safe. bob, i understand you have to defend everybody. if this guy has killed a police officer, he still gets a defender. this guy is an obsessive defender. should he have been nominated? >> if i'm not mistaken he was part

harris-perry meant to be malicious here, unlike martin bashir and ed schultz and his comments directedhe and her guests were clearly mocking the romney family, who did a good thing. >> why mention the race of the child at all? i thought we were supposed to be beyond race, yet every chance they get, the left has to say, okay, ha, ha, ha, caption here, please. i mean, imagine, bill, if you did that or i did that on the radio, you did that on television in a similar setting. sandra bullock's child, look, i have a daughter who's from latin america. she's pretty brown skinned, you know, you just don't do that, right? i don't want to make a bigger deal of it than it is, because i think a lot of other things that happened at msnbc have been much more egregious, but again, the type of thing that the left tends to get away with, especially involving whites and -- versus blacks. they seem to get away with this kind of stuff time and again, and we've become kind of numb to it, but it certainly isn't helping the cause of liberalism, which i think msnbc strives to assist at all terms. >> the pictur

maybe celebrity supporters of that same cop killer like ed asner and mike farrell can explain this to officer faulkner's widow or asked harry reid who gained the senate who ensure passage of of nominees like this one. look, the outrage doesn't matter to obama and neither does mumia's guilt. it's about transferring power to race-baiting academics. cop killing after all may be a response to a racist society. even the phrase cop killer is just too mean. isn't it really bigot control. who cares? the media will focus on new jersey traffic instead and ignore this. alas, christie casts a big shadow in every sense. >> didn't pronounce the names correctly? >> which one did i get wrong? >> i can't remember. >> i figured as much. what the fraternal order of police had to say in a letter to the administration. they wrote that this nomination was basically a thumb in the eye of our nation's law enforcement. it demonstrates a total lack of regard or empathy for those who strive to keep you and everyone else in our nation safe. bob, i understand you got to defend everybody. i mean, if this guy has killed a police officer, he still gets a

harry reid is not blameless in the process. we have a very poisonous environment. we did see the political op-ed by mitch mcconnell. >> i believe the republicans forced the change in the practice of the senate so we could confirm appointments. and the president, any president whether democrat or republican deserves to have up or down votes on his appointments or her appointments. and that's good whether it is republican president and democratic congress or democratic president and republican congress we should be taking up nominations. we couldn't get votes on it. it was obstructed by a record number of filibusters by the republicans. harry reid has a responsibility to the american people as the leader of the senate, the majority leader, to make sure we take up issues. >> do you disagree with that? >> i think -- we worked together as a work of eight senators to try to keep a rule section together so that the senate could continue to function. harry reid told us he would abide by that for two years. that was less than a year ago. this past summer he said he will not blow up the senate. his word c
