. >> jason johnson, a regular contributor to al jazeera. he joins us from the u.s. city of atlanta. good to have you on the show again. tell me something to make this work, it's all about sharing isn't it? that's not something that private firms and government are really good at. is this going to work? >> no, it's hard to call it sharing when the president is asking you. he'll initially suggest and then bring policy to bear upon. this plan will not really work unless yahoo facebook and other search engines will agree but it won't work if technology companies like comcast and verizon work agree as well. >> the president was focusing on the information gathered by social media programs, for example, but there are wider threats that still have to be dealt with. >> the primary concern that the president wants to talk about is business concerns, tacking in banks, insurance companies and corporations like we saw with the sonny hack just a couple of months ago. this is how the president is attempting to sell this to google yahoo and other search engines, but these companies are very concer

dionne and jason johnson. thank you both for being here. >> glad to be here rev. >> e.j. before we get to the silence of republicans, i mean what's going on with rudy giuliani? what do you make of these comments? >> i mean these were appalling comments. i have to say i was surprised. i thought we might be done with this. the president's not on a ballot any more. there's absolutely no reason to say it. the thing he said that really bothered me and the way even more than he does a lot of america, which is absurd on its face is he wasn't brought up the way you were brought up and i was brought up. what in the world does that mean? what kind of code is there as if he lived in indonesia? is it a comment on who his mother was? what does that mean? i was just astonished by it. >> jason, i see you shaking your head. what is it a code for, using e.j.'s term? >> he's that black guy in the white house that i never liked. that's the code speech. and really i think what giuliani should recognize from his ridiculous statements and republicans should realize as well is this is not a win

. >> jason johnson is a professor of communications in atlanta u.s. state of georgia. hi there. previous budget fights have previously shut down the government. is that likely now? >> i don't think it's that likely. senators in the.upper chamber are concerns concerned about their chances in 2016. they don't want a government shutdown to be on their heads. a shutdown is not likely but a long term fight with the president, that's pretty much what's going to happen. >> now president obama wants to increase taxes on the wealthy. do you see that becoming a reality any time soon? >> no, not any time soon. look, there are several things that the president has laid out in this budget that many republicans actually agree on. item of taxing foreign income for u.s. corporations is something that many many republicans have said that we need to do for years. that there's way too much money that comes from american work that gets hidden overseas. the problem is, is he going to find a majorities of republicans especially in the house that will support him? i think that's pretty unlikely. there

. >> jason johnson and mike viqueria for us. he is following this story from the halls of cofng for us. congress for us. jamie mcintire is live for us. how will hoamsdz employees homeland security knowledge employees be affected? >> most dhs employees would report to work they would not collect a paycheck. the department of hoamsdz models homeland security employs employs over 230,000 people. most of the tsa agents 10% would be furloughed under this plan, most would be at work. coast guard would still be protecting the coast air marbles wouldmarblemarshals border patrol agents all would be still at work. but the department of homeland security said that doesn't mean there isn't a significant effect on the being department. about trying to be proactive threats against country just the critical functions would continue unless and until congress passes a law that would pay those people retroactively. tony. >> that's what i'm trying wrap my mind around. james heie, the agency that oversees immigration policy won't be affected by the

joining me tonight access hollywood's sean robinson, political analyst jason johnson, and msnbc contributorthank you all for being here. >> glad to be here. >>> start tonight with jeb bush and the past. according to "the washington post," the former governor doesn't want to talk about the wars in iraq and afghanistan his brother led america into. quote, i won't talk about the past. if i'm in the process of considering the possibility of running, it's not about relitigating anything in the past. jason, can he get by hiding from the past? >> no. not at all. especially if he ends up going up against hillary clinton. look everyone is going to look at his name and look at his past and look at his history. and you can't tell the audience don't look over here, don't look over there, only look at what i'm saying. so i think george bush is being very foolish with this strategy and the more he looks like he's trying to avoid talking about his past, the more people are going to start digging up everything in the swamps of florida. >> shaun? >> well, rev, i'm going to put an entertainment spin on this.

political analyst jason johnson, and huff post live host caroline teraney. >>> they're actually tryingo running. the rnc posting a memo on the home page declaring hillary's hiding, quote -- out in public speaking to voters and sharing ideas, but hillary clinton is nowhere to be found. and they promise we're going to keep asking where is hillary? you will see more from us in the coming days and week. they also released this attack video. >> hello? >> hey, this is barack. listen, i need to know if you're on board. >> well yes, i guess i could. >> because i'm counting on you. >> i can't try to help. >> because i'm counting on you. >> of course i will do anything to help. >> okay. good. it all comes down to you. i have no doubt that hillary clinton is the right person to lead our nation and the world. [ laughter ] >> you're absolutely right. >> what is happening here? >> i know it's disappointing, though i was never that good. i hope i get a chance to see you again at the white house soon. >> all right. well, look i will be there as fast as i can. [ laughter ] >> i love that phrase. i thin

. >> joining me now are margie o'meara and jason johnson. thank you for being here. glad to be here rev. >> margie speaker boehner is blowing kisses it would be comical if there weren't such serious issues at stake. what is going on? >> he doesn't really have an answer. he looked calm. i guess he looked like he was having a good time but he's trying to deflect attention from what is clearly a tension moment. >> the polls suggest that the public is going to blame republicans if there's a dhs showdown. a poll from last week said -- less than a third only would blame the president. that's fewer than blamed the president in past showdowns, so i think there will be real consequences for republicans who say, you know let's just drive off the cliff. >> jason, tonight house republicans are huddling behind closed doors, trying to come up with a plan to avoid a shutdown. why is this so hard for them? >> because of the ego. .republican party, they know how to win wars they cannot figure out how to win a peace. they won the mid terms in 2014. this is the house and senate they've

joining me now, angela rye, and jason johnson. thank you both for being here.of these republicans have said they vaccinated their own kids so why do they say the issue should be up for debate? >> because the president obama said something different than what they said. just like you said coming into in block, this should not be about president obama, so much so that dr. rand paul -- let's not forget that this medical doctor had to walk a journalist in with him to get a vaccination to demonstrate just how supportive of getting vaccines hi is. this is all crazy, it's politics, and this is not a political football. this is a measles outbreak that has hit 100 people more people that is the ebola outbreak has hit. when you think about chris christie who wanted to quarantine someone who just displayed symptoms of ebola, it's interesting that his take on measles is so much different. >> jason, this is not a party line issue. some people are on the right and left are opposed to vaccines. but we're not seeing high-profile democrats if deal with this issue. why. >> el th

jason nolen. we will be right back. ♪ >> i am cory johnson. this is the best of bloomberg west. technology and patents from soft card, a service backed by three of the biggest wireless providers. att, verizon, and t-mobile. worked with google to preinstall its app. but is this going to help google take on apple pay? i talked with the ceo of the pay plan called zip mark. >> apple pay now has the first real competitor. i think if you look at the way that apple pay had been approaching the market they approached it in a sort of holistic kind of way. they lined up the bank, they lined up the hardware obviously , because that's what they do. and the consumer experience. and then they launched. and they're continuously adding issuers. they have some support from mastercard, etc.. google wallet is the early entrant didn't approach the market quite that way and i think what you're seeing now with this deal with soft card is the capitulation of the model that the mobile carriers are going to run with it. so now you're seeing that model being exited and really having a full staff competit

the event will feature jason collins, son of magic johnson, e.j. people behind the campaign "this is love," former nfl player, wade davis. talk to me a little bit about this campaign as a way to push back against this powerful stereotype that black folks are more homophobic than others. >> there's a pervasive narrative that we don't love each other. it was shocking to me that people only focused on terence's relationship with jabal or his brothers. 75% of the his family structure loves and embraces him. and we said we have to control the actual narrative. there's an african proverb that says, until the lion has a historian, the hunter will always be a hero. we don't have a historian. so my goal with myself and darnell is to say, how can we change the narrative and add to it. and this campaign has been blessed by so many different people. >> when you talk about narratives, this is literally people telling their stories. and instead of these being the stories of "i came out and was rejected and abused," these are stories of "i came out and my family
