james peterson is a contributor to thegrio.com and ryan grim, d.c.chief for "the huffington post." welcome to all of you. i'm glad you're watching again ryan behind you on the screen. professor peteon, we saw a lot of the president this weekend, a lengthy interview given to the new republic and that interview with hillary clinton on "60 minutes." i see republicans grumbling about that interview. is that because it made democrats seem like mature, well-mannered, adults who are trying to get something done? >> yeah. for all of their critique about what they perceived as being a softball interview, have you ever seen a republican politician on a fox news interview? certainly there's a double standard there in their mind. at the end of the day here, i think that the president and secretary clinton being in the same space at the same time is an important sort of sense for the democratic party going forward. one of the president's support of this secretary of state and what she's done in terms of all the travel and all the impact she's had internationally,

in philadelphia lehigh university professor james peterson, a contributor for thegrio.com.nd in washington democratic strategist julian epstein. dr. peterson, i want to start with you. obviously federal agents are still learning more about how this neo-nazi convicted felon was able to amass an arsenal that i'd say deadly doesn't even begin to describe. it would seem to reinforce, as i was mentioning, the president's proposals, and yet the line from the gun control opponents seems to be these measures feel good but they just don't do anything. what's your response? >> my response is the nra is trying to sell guns and they're going to continue to try to sell guns and they're going to try to use these situations to sell more guns. we need to know where they are. they're very disciplined in terms ever their messaging, but to expect anything other than buy more guns coming from the nra is actually at this point insane. we need to take a closer look at the president's directives and his executive orders. they make sense. they would address a situation like this. one thing that's

in tampa, florida, lehigh university professor james peterson and with me in new york, the great michaelrowley, senior correspondent for "time" magazine. dr. peterson, when the nra is prepared to focus attention on everything and anything but the weapons and ammunition that are used for mass murder, does this not render their contribution to this debate now null and void? >> well, for those of us who are sensible about wanting to implement measures around common sense gun safety it does sort of render them null and void but in the real politic of the situation we have to understand that this sort of form of the politics of distraction we have seen those on the right play with quite a bit throughout the presidential campaign actually sometimes can be very, very effective here. even by the very nature of the fact we're talking about video games, talking about films, and talking about those things being a part of the conversation instead of focusing on access to guns, the proliferation of guns, about mental health issues and background checks, it shows you how the politics of distraction wo

we're joined now by "washington post" political columnist dana milbank, professor james peterson of lehigh and msnbc contractor jimmy williams. dana, i'm going to start with you. we saw freshman senator ted cruz of texas making a big push in the spotlight. this time going after chuck hagel. he was one of three senators who streeted against john kerry's appointment of secretary of state. he seems to be staking out a specific territory for himself, sort of more on the right. but when you wrote about senator cruz during the election, you said that you were, quote, comforted by the theory that cruz is driven more by ambition than by tea party doctrine. so does that theory still give you comfort? >> it does, karen. i mean, i can't say that what he's doing right now is reassuring for people who are seeking some sort of moderate and reasonable behavior. now, he voted against kerry most likely like his fellow texas senator john cornyn to appease the big donors down there in texas who have it in for john kerry. he's definitely been a real hotdog since he's arrived in the senate wanting to stir thin

james andrews says the lcl recovery period is typically longer than the acl recovery period. a lot of people have looked at adrian peterson, start running back for the minnesota vikings, who came back in less than six months and had a record-setting year this season. he didn't have the lcl procedure. so it is going to take rg3 a little bit longer. of course, everybody's body responds differently. >> helps he is an athlete and in shape? >> absolutely. you don't want to come back too soon. we have seen what can happen. so you know they are going to be extra cautious this time around. >> is it remarkable -- >> i'm sorry, the pain involved, is there? >> you know, after surgery, generally you're -- you're kind of drugged up so the's going to be a while but it's going to be a painful process coming back. in i time you have a surgery like that, just getting back to form is always painful. >> is it remarkable they were able to do both the lcl and acl at the same time? >> really common. the surgeon told me almost always when do you the lcl you do the acl as well. we knew that was coming last night. >> two fer. dan hellie, we will
