he did tonight with ed schultz.o you think the republican party is still struggling with the meaning of those comments, even with mitt romney out of the picture? >> absolutely. we have seen several signs of this all along. if you remember, when it first broke, there was a school of thought that maybe, if you want to give mitt romney the benefit of the doubt in the tape, he didn't think there were tape recorders and talking to a group of elite, super affluent donors telling them what they want to hear. that theory went out the window when he had a conference call talking about the free gifts obama showered on constituencies. the mitt romney with the 47% tape is the real mitt romney. look at the paul ryan side of it, the makers versus takers rhetoric before. look at the budget. this is a budget line item by line item that is consistent with the message romney was delivering in the 47% tape. this is fitting the social safety net, voucherizing medicare, shipping back aid to the poor to the states, massive tax cuts for t

he spoke exclusively with msnbc's ed schultz about why he shot that video. >> i think it defined him at a critical point, you know, and defined him exactly for who he was, and, you know, i thought kind of job well done because it's exactly what i had hoped at least. you know, everybody can make their own judgment on whether they believe what he is saying to be true or not, but at very least, the people heard, all the people that couldn't afford the $50,000 to be there, regular people like myself, they hurt what he really believes. and that was the important part of it and that's what's happened for sure. >> he said he wanted people who couldn't afford the $50,000 for that. let's take a look at weather, dylan dreyer joins us now. it's a tale of two coasts right? >> oh, for sure. the west 15 to 20 degrees below normal. and the southwest, 15 to 20 degrees above normal. the northwest is dealing with a couple of lighter showers. although most of the heavier rain is just off the coast of northwestern washington state. but that is going to change as we go into tonight and tomorrow. we've go

comments, finally explaining why he wanted that tape made public is an exclusive interview with our ed schultz. >> i don't think he has any clue what a regular american goes through on a daily basis. i don't think he has any idea what a single mom taking a bus to work, dropping the kid off at the daycare that she can barely afford, hopping on another bus. the day-in, day-out struggles of everyday americans, that guy has no idea. people could decide for themselves whether they agreed with him or not. i felt like it was my duty to make sure that as many people heard it as possible. >> joining me now, sean spicer welcome from the rnc. as we all know and as we covered, that tape arguably made it a lot harder for mitt romney to win the election and reemerges as romney publicly reemerges to a crowd. the guy behind this, scott prouty, he's a regular guy, an independent. he's not tied to any political organization. in your estimation from the rnc's standpoint, how much do the comments continue to haunt romney and the party? >> well, there's no question, they're not helpful. i mean, governor romney sai
