arturo sandoval's latest project is based on a, dizzy gillespie. i have had the chance to interview you a couple of times. six months ago, i had the opportunity of bringing him on stage at the hollywood bowl. i had a chance to reference in the garcia in my introduction. that arturo sandoval story -- >> that is great. i had the great honor to play with him on the record. he actually just finished writing the music for a movie of produced that co-stars vera farmiga, called "middleton," similar to "city island." arturo wrote the music for it. we are good buddies. tavis: let me go back to the story of the movie, "a dark truth." you play a talk show host that is a former cia agent. did you ever imagine yourself, given your views on the world, being -- >> cia? tavis: being a political talk show host. >> no, no. tavis: you do have views, though. >> we all have views. i choose to live my life as a bomb maker, as an artist. that is what i am interested -- as a filmmaker, as an artist. that is what i am interested in. we all have political views. we are inte

the guy whose idea it was adam gillespie.ocal news program did a story. >> it made me smile. >> the guy on the video. >> we would line up with our friends in the hallway and wait for the camera and wave. >> figure out who the elf is and who that character is from and what movie that is. >> a nice little hello to christmas movies. >> i like it. ♪ it's the most wonderful time ♪ ♪ of the year. >> you'd think so. but not for this giraffe in charleston, south carolina. this was during a tree lighting ceremony. >> what's the raft doing at the tree lighting ceremony. are we supposed to assume this is part of the man ger? >> or was he there to put the topper on the tree. whatever he's there for, he's not doing it. he's a little upset. >> probably scared. >> we're having a great christmas party. you know what we need, a giraffe. >> it gets worse. they were supposed to get them out of the way before the confetti gun went off, too. that didn't happen. >> he could have gotten hurt. >> he looks like he finally calmed down. then someone sh

sit ks next to me -- sitting next to me, nick gillespie. it is reason tv and reason.com. and his reporting stinks because he is written by sphynx. not sure if i am happy to see you. >> "less miserables" is about to debut six days from now. nothing that an impartial paper like myself cares about such terrorism tees. six days. six days more ♪ ♪ another day ♪ another destiny ♪ this never ending road to calvary ♪ ♪ it surely will come ♪ six days more ♪ i did not live until today ♪ ♪ how can i live when we are parted ♪ ♪ tomorrow you'll be worlds away ♪ ♪ and yet with you ♪ my world has started >> that last bit was supposed to be -- >> all of that goodwill from all of those people saying they wanted pinch back flushed it down the toilet. they put to rest the phony protest. the state department ordered an investigation into the benghazi attack and concluded that they left the console poorly protected and preceded the deadly assault. it confirmed immediately to everyone that a group of heavily armed terrorists carried out the attack. the review suggested 29 ways, not 30. they kn

i think people like jeb bush, marco rubio, eddie gillespie, they can help republicans navigate this.nd of the day to get something into law it has to pass the house. there's a lot of conservatives in the house that are worried about primaries. remember, the elect rat in an offyear election tends to be older and tends to be whiter. these guys are all about survival. they're not going to do anything that they think will make it more likely that someone more conservative than themselves would challenge them in a primary. for them it is about survival. >> what about the risks on the other side? are there risks for president obama in all of this? >> there's risk. you look at immigration, i tend to agree with democrats that he probably has a stronger hand given that republicans feel like they have to do something that he's wanted to do. but, remember, the president had his chance. he promised to do immigration reform in the first year of his first term. and he didn't do it. and he didn't do it when he had all democratic control. so he could have done it. he chose not to do it. so he's unde

we found out that ed gillespie at the end of the campaign was trying to do more with hispanics and womentewart stevens some. >> but nothing like the tension you normally would expect in a losing campaign. >> not like sort of kerry '04 or certainly mccain '08. nothing like that, no. jonathan martin, the ebook -- >> download it now. >> anywhere? >> itunes, amazon.com or go to politico.com. the link is on the top of the screen. whatever device you want. $2.99. >> congratulations. >>> the fiscal talks teetering on the brimpk collapse or are they on the verge of a deal? the gaggle will be here next. >>> but first the white house soup of the today -- tomato basil. >>> check out our website, rundownonmsnbc.com. we'll be right back. victor! victor! i got your campbell's chunky soup. mom? who's mom? i'm the giants mascot. the giants don't have a mascot! ohhh! eat up! new jammin jerk chicken soup has tasty pieces of chicken with rice and beans. hmmm. for giant hunger! thanks mom! see ya! whoaa...oops! mom? i'm ok. grandma? hi sweetie! she operates the head.

i read nick gillespie's article today. did not a chance to read yours.w there's evidence that some of the violence is coming down. but i want to ask you about an issue. the intersection of mental illness and guns, what we know, asperger's syndrome, autism, this guy, this kid was definitely mentally ill. he definitely had severe problems. his mother, by the same token, a survivalist, world is coming to an end, she may have contributed to all this. you're supposed to register state by state on any signs at all regarding mental illness as a disqualification for gun purchase and registration. but it doesn't happen, brian. why is that? >> one of the main reasons is that, of course, the thing that marks us as saying lanza was obviously an unhinged lunatic is the horrible crime that he committed. and for the most part -- first of all, you need to understand that the connection is not as tight as i think you're implying. hardly anyone adjudicated or thought mentally ill is ever going to harm anyone. in the case of loughner and with the aurora theater shooting, t

i think ed gillespie makes a good point about the strategy. >> michael. >> but having a smart strategys more important. >> jose, take it away. >> just wanted to add. 50,000 young latinos turn every month 18 years of age, born in the united states. >> in the u.s. >> in the united states of america. just wanted to add that. >> yes. >> that's right. there's a difference there. >> but, jose, let me ask you since you are in miami and marco rubio has been -- he is presumed to be almost the voice of the gop on immigration concerns, and there is talk of a gang of eight that is getting together on the hill to tackle immigration that includes four democrats, bennett durbin, four members of the gop flake, grant, mccain, and leaf. marco rubio is not in that mix, and he is said to be working on sort of smaller pieces of immigration legislation, but not something bigger. we contacted his office saying, you know, why is senator rubio not in the mix on the gang of eight here, and the response is we won't prejudge their efforts, but senator rubio has said that he believes immigration reform should not

i think ed gillespie realized there were problems with hispanics and women they had to resolve.didn't try to fix that until after labor day and by then, the dye had been cast. >> everyone had always criticized him for being this chameleon. in the end, he stuck to -- >> he was too consistent. >> until too late. >> there was not a lot of infighting in the spring and summer over this, but they tried to finally make it a choice in the fall instead of the referendum. by then, he was already defined. >> you can find out more in the new ebook "the end of the line." >> $2.99. >> you can do both. >> with your cup of coffee. >> mr. schultz, i think what people ought to do if they go to a starbucks -- >> buy it there. >> they bring their mobile device -- >> their laptop, iphone. >> using the starbucks wifi and have a delicious starbucks. >> $4 cup of coffee. >> you can come sponsor our show. >> i keep it real. i'm just going to -- chuck, thank you very much. see you ahead in the daily rundown. and jonathan martin, thank you very much. >>> coming up, senator chuck schumer will be here. his
