eleanor clift? >> i don't think so. i don't think the federal government is going to aggressively go after people who are possessing small amounts of marijuana, and i think they are going to defer to the states. the marijuana laws are changing in this country and the federal government is not going to make a cause out of criminalizing that law. that law is going to shrivel up and die. >> if you were our first female president of the united states, eleanor clift. >> yeah, i can warm to that. >> would you want to legalize marijuana for the nation? >> i think it is something that is going to happen. is it a major priority? no. and i think probably individual states need to decide that for themselves, because you would have revolutions probably? some of the southern more conservative states. they would view that like the government storm troopers coming in. >>> pat, is marijuana definitely not an escalator drug? >> i think it is an you introductory drug. >> an escalator means you are going up regardless, once you get on it.

>> gentlemen. >> let me talk, john. >> let me talk, eleanor. eleanor! >> he only has about ten seconds. >> you've not told the exact truth. hillary clinton got a memorandum the 16 of august saying al-qaeda is all over the place from stevens, we need >> he next tuesday, the nation goes to the polls, which ticket will win? barack obama and joe biden, or mitt romney and paul ryan? or will it be a tie? 269 electrical votes, to 269 electoral votes. pat buchanan? >> the heart says romney/ryan, and head says too close to call, but i'm going to predict that romney/ryan will win all the 11 states of the old con fed racy, and barely win ohio and colorado, and he'll win with just over 270 electoral votes. >> obama biden will win with over 300 electoral votes, it will be a democratic senate, warren will win in massachusetts, and democrats will have 54 seats in the senate. >> i have to say i think this country really needs a change in leadership, given what's happened in the last four years, but i believe that owe -- obama will be reelected, it will be a close race,

eleanor clift. >> he doesn't need to get around anything. if he wants to nominate susan rice, he is going to do it up- front and he is going to fight for her. and lindsey graham and john mccain are a committee of two in wanting a select committee to investigate watergate style benghazi. i don't even think most republicans have the appetite for. that secondly, john mccain just did an enormous favor for susan rice because he just boosted her chances that she is likely to be nominated because the president doesn't want to look like he's walking away from a fate. this is a fight that he can win, should win, early in his second term. he can't allow these two war hawks on the hill to roll him. so it's tough to get a nomination through, but you've got an invigorated party with two more seats. if they want to filibuster her nomination the president can make a big issue of that and the republicans aren't going to look like a winner going after a woman what had nothing to do with the benghazi attack. >> susan rice can answer this on sheefer's program,

san francisco zoo, eleanor friend playground. >> good morning commissioners, karen money brodac from parks planning capital project. i'm excited and will hand this over to joe, the vice president of education at the zoo. i wanted to briefly introduce the item. again, this is discussion and possible action to approve the zoo's conceptual plan for the renovation to the playground at the zoo and expenditure of up to 2.3 million. including 138,000 from recreation and parks department. two, to adopt finding under the california environmental quality act and adopt mitigation, monitoring and reporting program. that 138,000 was already previously approved. just reaffirming the expenditure of that. this is existing playground in poor shape. doesn't meet certain current safety code. included in your commission report under attachments three and four, we worked closely with the planning department to identify and describe all the appropriate seek what language that is needed the to move forward. it was included and covered under the environmental impact report. we have included that information

and i'm glad you read the book about eleanor roosevelt and the u.n. declaration that even eleanor roosevelt, i was surprised at how strongly she advocated for the inclusion of social rights in the declaration because i had expected the u.s. stands to be much more focused on individual rights, what we would also consider negative rights and freedom from oppression and control by the state etc. but fdr was crucial including the social rights in the u.n. that duration but that did not resonate here. it didn't resonate and there were also organized groups that worked to oppose the acceptance of such rights. such as the medical profession and certain business groups etc.. there is was actually a specific campaign to prevent the u.s. from exempting the current economic and social rights in the '90s. that was run by a conservative group so i think there are a lot of ideological reasons. but there has also been an organized -- to them. less than for no grounds for social rights as human rights in the u.s.. >> my question almost ends with the individual resist

eleanor roosevelt joining him and moving from linebacker to starting quarterback this week. not too easy. the first quarter, trailing 6- 0. he stumbles and the archbishop recovers at the maryland's 33. and tech would take advantage. the pitch to smith. he waltzes in from five yards out and the yellowjackets built a 27-0 lead. to the third quarter now. the terps still scoreless and not for long. the fake and hit him. he councilled him with the nice move and dives in for the 16- yard touchdown. the two connect on a 23-yard or the game's final play. maryland does fall to georgia tech, 33-13. d.c. united hosting the new york red bulls. the first leg of the home and home play-off series. 61st minute, no score and sends the service into the box to nick deleon and off of the new york offender into the net and shows him with the only goal. we'll take the gift that is 1- 0, black and red. four minutes later, on the corner and take the header in front and comes down with the ball and falls into the net. the ball crosses the line. and this game ends in a 1-1 tie. the final leg of the s

eleanor smith thank you so much. joe williams you'll stay with us, and we'll have a little bit of fun. coming from, the sports metaphors >>i jump out of my skin at people when i'm upset. >> why do we need a straw poll? i'll take a logical look at the situation. we're just getting started on a monday night. stick around. get irresistibly clean and fresh carpets in your home with resolve deep clean powder. the moist powder removes three times more dirt than vacuuming alone while neutralizing odors for a clean you can see, smell and really enjoy. don't just vacuum clean. resolve clean. right by those who gave their lives to for this country nearly 70 years ago. >> you're back inside the war room. i'm michael shureer. john mccain has been leading a republican attack on u.n. ambassador susan rice. they claim rice who might be the next secretary of state purposely misled the american public about the attack in benghazi. that led to four americans including am bass door, dead. he realized that his baseless attacks made him

i'm going to turn to eleanor clift. eleanor is a distinguished writer and has published many books.ow the mclaughlin group. what happened from your perspective? >> first of all my chair is lower than the two ladies on my right and left. from my political if i am told today -- it was a good night for democrats, for women and for pot smokers. [laughter] who are the new emerging electorate and this was not your rand father's electorate. ronald reagan -- ronald reagan ran in a very different america. ronald reagan would have a difficult time in today's republican primary process. i think there are lessons here on the republican side and the democratic side. i think they are not as technocratic as blaise is suggesting and those lessons can be learned easily. it is the remaking of a party's approach and the republicans can't you national party if they turn off african-americans, hispanics and now women. the republican party today is 90% white. and the democratic party i understand is the caucus that returns to washington will be 50% majority, 50% were in majority minority women. when we l

eleanor? >> david petraeus was their candidate.im to run for president. they're going to defend him but they're going to somehow find a wedge between whatever david petraeus says and what susan rice said and the administration. they've got their teeth in. this and i don't think they're going to let go. no answer will satisfy them. but i think they go after it at their peril. i really don't think the country wants a partisan investigation of benghazi. i think they want the economy fixed. and so i think it's a fool's errand for the gop. >> okay, eleanor clift and reid wilson, good to see you both. thanks so much. >> thanks, alex. >>> still ahead the twinkie disappearing act across america. will we ever get another taste of that legendary tweet? >>> plus it's a tweet of a picture from the white house. the president sharing a frown with a special visitor. you're watching "weekends with alex witt."

. >> i want to ask you about that, what eleanor said about the end of the year rather than going into new year. who benefits, if anyone, if they kick the can down the road, get a new congress. isn't there something to be said with this new democratic strength coming into the senate? it's a little stronger there. you have a stronger president picked up a few seats in the house. doesn't kicking the can down until february or march and do something that's maybe a bandaid now help the cost. >> it helps to a certain extent, but doesn't help the republican party all that much, because again, they're going to be blamed if we get a short-term deal, they're not going to be happy about going along with something that may not exist with the new congress coming up that they may have to fix. certainly it benefits president obama. he gets a stronger hand coming in. let's be clear the leverage all on his side is striking while the iron is hot and knowing that you have vulnerable republicans in the hot seat right now. grover norquist is taking names trying to figure out who has been naughty and who h

thanks in part two of eleanor roosevelt who helped draft the u.n. declaration after her husband's death. today, more than 70 countries recognize a right to health or health care in their constitutions. virtually every industrialized nation can take a step to implement these rights via establishing some type of universal health coverage for their citizens. with one major exception. anybody know? the united states of america. but it's not for lack of trying. after fdr's death, president harry truman announced a national health insurance program that would've made medical coverage for all part of the social security act. but the physicians of the american medical association attacked truman's plan as socialized medicine. that might also sound familiar. and in the early cold war, the ama won that battle, and treatments proposal was defeated. other presidents including richard nixon and bill clinton tried the passing of universal health care programs, but they fail due to entrenched and vigorous opposition from not just the medical profession, but also o

eleanor roosevelt, known for being an advocate for youth and causes including youth congress.r report on eleanor roosevelt's dealings with that group came directly from the director of the fbi, j. edgar hoover. one of the more notable examples of our top law enforcement agency being used to gather potentially politically damaging, potentially embarrassing, but hardly criminal information about public figures, but it was not of course the last instance of that. decades later, we're still wrestling with the legacy of j. edgar hoover and the fiefdom he made of the fbi. he kept extensive files he called official and confidential files. there were secret documents that tracked the lives of famous and powerful people, including details about those peoples' lives that were not criminal but would have been embarrassing to those famous people if they became known. he kept these special files in his office, out of the mainstream of fbi business, away from the criminal investigations that were supposed to be what the fbi was doing. he kept those secret files because the secrets they cont

the reason i say no is yes, franklin and eleanor were very much political colleagues. starting in 1922 when fdr contracted polio she was his political surrogates who represented him on numerous occasions, she headed the women's democrat national committee. she was instrumental in many of the reforms of the new deal. but franklin had an affair with hillary's private assistant during world war i and when she found out about that she wanted a divorce. that was the end of their marital relationship. their political relationship remains intact but they never became intimate people again. they carved out distinctive roles and important roles, extraordinary first lady but it was not something which was a product of their personal chemistry and their ongoing intimate relationship. >> if hillary is a bridge builder, what happened with the health care and what would she have done differently if she were to do it today? >> she would have made a compromise with john chaffee and got the bill passed. why did all that happen? it happened because in arkansas and in washington she thou

eleanor pointed this out -- women delivered obama's race because they weren't about to put up from the nonsense that was coming from the right. >> with the statements from mourdock and akin, women wanted romney to denounce it. women wanted the party to denounce it, and romney never came out to denounce it. bottom line is this -- we played it too safe, we didn't think women were monolithic voters or cared about the economy, but when it comes to legitimate rape and abortion, women stood together. >> i wish that's all it was, really, but the whole year, particularly when republicans took over so many state legislators, that's when the war on women, if you forgive me, began. you had record numbers of anti-contraceptive and and antiabortion laws, even a tax on equal pay laws, the congress with the blunt amendment on where they actually had a vote on whether or not insurance policies ought to include contraception if the boss is in disagreement. so you can talk messenger all you want to or two members who clearly revealed the rubbish in the republican party, but, let's face it, women had a w

and he relayed this story, which i had heard from harry belafonte who heard it from eleanor roosevelt. and she had told harry this story, that president obama related in the backyard, that she had brought a philip randolph to meet with fdr. and a philip randolph was the biggest organizer of the 20th- century. he organized the march on washington. and he spoke to fdr and told him about the condition of black people in this country, working people in this country. and fdr said i don't disagree with anything you said, but you have to make me do it. this is a story that barack obama, who was a senator then running for president, responded and said make me do it. make me do it. and i think that is the challenge of this second term. who will have president obama's here? it is not about what is in his heart or what he believes. he is a community organizer. he did not -- he responds to demand. power concedes nothing without a demand. it never has and it never will. and that is, i think, the challenge of the many different groups that actually elected him. i think the first time around, in 200
