. >> your perspective on jamal, awaiting the decision on whether he will be executed or spend his life in prison. >> he should be released. [applause] one of my professors actually is working on his case, so i have been following through her visits and conversations, but i think it is the quintessential example of what is happening with the intellects in our community. he is a brilliant brother. if you have not gone on youtube and seen him offering his insight on any number of social political issues -- i mean geopolitical issues, what is happening in afghanistan and iraq, what is happening with education in this country. his analysis -- the death of his insight and analysis i think is just undeniable -- the debt -- the depth of his insight and analysis is just undeniable. it is a reflection of how comfortable and distracted many of us our -- us are that we have not created a more sustained movement around cases like this. i voted for barack obama. i would vote for him again when the time comes. at the same time, i get asked this question so often, right? are we post-race? are we past

nobody defends them. >> jamal? is they didn't come out in support of rick perry. rick perry came out and supported this event. so he has it own some sort of responsibility for what happens that event because he promoted it. >> but what happens on the event, people will pray. if you look at white house, for this event, i'm sure you have, you see people from all different backgrounds supporting this event. this is prayer, people coming together to pray for the knew to future of our nation. i don't see what is so bad about this. >> john boehner is looking for votes and aheady said we should not judge people to have dinner with. we should understand that people believe in what they believe should be understood. that's a news flash from the right. thank you, heidi. thank you, perry. thank you jamal. thank you for a great time. >> thanks. >> ahead, what would jesus cut? here's a hint. not what republicans are proposing. that's next.

. >> jamal simmons is a democratic strategist. doug hayes is a republican strategist.ning us. the president has said he's willing to compromise. will republicans? >> it certainly doesn't look like it. at least put it this way, at least they're pretending not to. we'll see what happens as we get closer to the deal. neither the republicans nor the democrats can afford for us to go over the cliff on the debt. and the u.s. not to pay its bills. nobody wants that. at some point a deal is going to have to be reached. right now it looks like we're in a game of the brinks manningship. >> this week david brooks which i'm sure you're familiar with this article in "the new york times" saying quote, if responsible republicans don't take control independents will conclude that republican fanaticism caused the default. they will conclude that republicans are not fit to govern and they will be right, end quote. so are republicans giving too much weight to the tea party caucus right now? what do you think? >> i don't think so. if you paid attention, i know you did and jamal did to the

we'll figure out a way to handle that. >> jamal, you were communications dnc, can't the democrats usethat they've been so extreme, and all polls has shown that americans want to see certain things protected, want to see some of the wealthy americans pay their share, won't this gabfire on them in the long right? >> absolutely. >> and medicare, of all the republicans in the house voted for paul ryan's medicare bill that quit medicare. they just hand money to insurance companies. i tell you, that is not something thatport people in america want senior citizens, people on the verge of being seniors, and about to get that medicare do not want it cut. these republicans will all have to answer for that. >> victoria, how do you sell to the american people that those that have made the more can get away with doing less, and that seniors those that are disabled, those that are students, education, they have to make the sacrific sacrifices. >> reverend your term "selling" is the absolutely correct term. obama has the opportunity to frame this, to get the democrats to mobilize, but if he lets thi

jamal, you heard president clinton.ard people like me talk about this for a couple of months now. i mean, tell people in your opinion, how serious this threat is and why. >> reverend sharpton, you were there in 2000 during the recount. when ways spokesman for al gore in west palm beach. they disenfranchise sewed many african-american voters across the state as well as other voting irregularities that took place. then in 2007, charlie crist in florida gave the voting rights back. they said you go to jail as pannishment, not for punishment. then after that your punishment ceased. once you paid your price to society, you get to come back it society. if we are about rehabilitating people and having them have productive lives, voting is part of that. clearing going after african-americans, latinos, young people by not allowing them to have the right to vote, where they go to school. they have to vote where they are from even though they are not living where they are from. this is historic -- >> you not only have the problem

. >>> also, a's are convinced that their 24-year-old second baseman jamal weeks is the real deal, so they traded mark ellis and cash to the colorado rockies for pitcher bruce billings and a player to be named later. ellis is oakland's all-time leader in games played at second base. >> it's a good opportunity for us, and we're going to miss the times we had, but it happens a lot in baseball. it's something that players go through and it's part of the game. obviously i'll cherish the memories i've made here. >> sticking with the green and gold, the a's had a matinee game with the marlins. top of the 5th, 3-0 florida. john buck doubles and that brings in two runs. 5-0 marlins. bottom of the 9th, curt suzuki with a two-run homer. a's cut the lead to 5-4. but they were counting on their rookie to tie this game. didn't happen. marlins win 5-4 is your final. >>> giants and cubs. chicago won in walkoff fashion last night. top of the 13th, panda swinging the bat well. pablo sandoval gets his sixth homer of the year, gives the giants a 2-1 lead. but bottom of the 13th, soto with a three-run sh

i said, wait a second, jamal, i said, you're in kindergarten. what do you mean you're on your your way to college? he said, well, you know, chancellor, it's never too young to start thinking about that kind of thing, right? now, when every kid in every classroom in every city starts telling you in kindergarten they're on their way to college, and trust me, this isn't a kid that grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, that's when it's going to happen. guys like steve perry are going to make it happen because he's not going to put up with the status quo that's denying kids of color who look like him, that's denying them an opportunity at the american dream. there wouldn't be a better country. thank you for doing this, my friend.

jamal simmons is joining us. he's a principal at the raven group. and john fury. assume the president has some announcement to assume he has an moumt to make or put pressure on the republicans. do you have inside information. >> i don't, but the white house has been really talking about how important it is. we saw the president out earlier in the town hall meeting. this looks like another example of him trying to push the negotiations to a close. >> that would be my guess. what do you think? >> a debt deal is good for the president and also house republicans. it's good for the country and good for the president and to include a deal to purr economic growth. >> without tax increases. a lot of democrats won't vote for it. sanders is an independent, but caucuses with the democrats. no tax revenue as they say he is not going along with it. >> he and the other liberals can get a deal and that would be great too. the reality is both sides are going to get something they don't like and hopefully the president and the country get something that works >> what are they have
