>> or jonathan capehart. >> jonathan capehart has all reasons to be in a good mood. i think it's sort of a mixed bag. the good news here is, as you point out, the republican establishment has found a way to beat back the tea party. the bad news for them is the way they've beaten back the tea party is basically by becoming the tea party. so, yes, they found a way to repel the insure general seerks but have done this by going far to the right. this guy tillis, he's hardly some return to the moderate republicans, he's every bit as conservative as a lot of these tea party guys are. so the democrats are also saying, yes, we may not be getting christine o'donnell, but we're getting the next best thing and that's a real far right establishment republican. >> dana, funny you should mention that. i have compiled a brief list of a few of the highlights of tom tillis's sort of views. he doesn't believe in climate change, opposes increase in minimum wage. even seemed sketchy on whether there should be a minimum wage at all. he supports personhood, helped pass the most restrictiv

navy psychiatrist, and "the washington post's" jonathan capehart. thank you for being here. it really is an historic date. the lowest rate of uninsured americans since they've been keeping track. what's your reaction today? >> i can't tell you how pleased i am that we have some figures to prove what all of us knew was happening. we knew that when the people got an opportunity, they would take it. and they have taken it gradually. they're picking it up naster and faster. and it's going to spread across the country, rev. it has only started at this point. we have some states that are still resisting it. they won't sign people up in medicaid. they don't have an exchange in their state. they're trying to blame everything on -- anything bad that happens, they blame it on obamacare. but the truth is, it's working. and it's driving the republicans crazy. because they can't figure out -- they've got themselves stuck to this tar baby of trying to take it down, and they're going to go into the election with their arms wrapped around the very same thing they said they didn't want. >> r

i'm jonathan capehart. joy will be back here monday at 2:00 p.m.o visit our show onlin online @thereidreport. "the cycle" is up next. hey, cyclists. >> good to see you in the hosting chair. great job there. super proud of laverne cox and the way she's living her life now. we have a super packed show. a lot of breaking news. we'll talk about eric shinseki's firing. we'll talk about steve balm blms big purchase. i'll do a deep dive on the immorality of advertising to small children. a lot of people are marketing really sugary salty fatty foods to small kids, 3, 4 5r, 5. and a guest host, don't know who it is. >> looking forward to seeing your show. [ brian ] in a race, it's about getting to the finish line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. it's important to know the difference. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. and that i had to take action. so he talked to me about xarelto®.

yes, with distance comes greater admiration. >> jonathan capehart, mark murray, thanks so much.ears of public speaking had president obama prepared for a protester interrupting the speech with shouts of freedom for ethiopia. take a look at what happened next. >> freedom -- >> i agree with you although why don't i talk about it later because i'm just about to finish. you and me, we'll talk about it. i'll be coming around. there you go. i agree with you. i want to hear from you. i love you back. of complete darkness. i am totally blind. i've been blind since birth. i lost my sight to eye disease. i lost my sight in afghanistan. and it doesn't hold me back. but my blindness can affect my sleep patterns. i go through periods where it's hard to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. but i learned that my struggle was with non-24. non-24 is a circadian rhythm disorder that affects up to 70% of people who are totally blind and can't perceive light. talk to your doctor about your symptoms, and learn about non-24 by calling 844-844-2424. that's 844-844-2424. or visit my24info.com

joining me now is jonathan capehart and brian boitler.mitch mcconnell think the people of kentucky are living in a fantasy land or can be duped this easily? >> clearly he does. you could understand it during the primary season because he's trying to win over super conservative hate obama under any circumstances and really hate obamacare, get those voters to help him beat his opponent. what i see happening now is he's trying to basically stay on that balance. but eventually they fall off and i'm not sure lease going to be able to convince enough people that getting rid of the affordable care act is not going to in any way impact kynect and the 431,000 or 413,000 people who are now getting health insurance as a result of kynect. >> brian, i feel like it's political malpractice to suggest to voters that they can keep all the good stuff that they like in kynect but we can repeal the affordable care act. i was saying to jonathan before the segment began, it's as if the gop is so bereft of ideas and insecure that they have resorted to obfuscati

jonathan capehart and alicia quarles. will have up next tamron hall and "newsnation" and that press conference with president obama and angela merkel. i will see you monday. at&t can help simplify how you manage it. so you can focus on what you love most. when everyone and everything works together, business just sings. a man who doesn't stand still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto. like warfarin, xarelto is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine.

. >> joining me now is washington post columnist, jonathan capehart and glen. i'm waiting for the name vince foster to come out of karl rove's mouth. i feel it was the most muscular. it was a joyful response from bubba, but the most muscular defense we have seen from team clinton. if anybody thought she wasn't running, the sus spinxs have been dispelled today. >> the one question i would like to former president to say if he knows what the walking dead is. >> does he know from zombies? go ahead. >> i know a couple staffers that may be watching. that seemed like a very well -- something president clinton is adepth at. you are right. they really went after this. in fact, i think the reaction to the story really shifted quickly from being one of near panic among folks in the clinton camp to being, the realization that rove was shooting off on his own, a little too early and, you know, was perhaps showing the republicans hand a bit. this kind of thing can really boom range. people get turned off by this kind of negativity, particularly two and a half years before t

attorney general kendall coffey and "the washington post's" jonathan capehart. thank you both for being here. kendall, someone who worked for kelly says kelly didn't act alone. what's your reaction and your questions now. >> i think that's exactly the road map anyone wants with respect to bridget kelly. we didn't get directly incriminating information from the witness today that would take it to someone higher up the ladder, but we're told a couple of things that definitely helped point the way for prosecutors. one is they've got even more information incriminating bridget kelly. why is that important? to get someone to cooperate, you want to have them absolutely nailed at the wall so they have no point but to tell you the truth. secondly, she has strongly indicated to her belief, she's extremely well positioned that, in fact, bridget kelly wasn't the mastermind. we recall the could you tell you side council basically blaming 90% of everything in bridget kelly. now we have someone right in the heart of the organization that says no, she was an instrument. what t

attorney kendall coffey and washington post jonathan capehart.r being here. >> thanks, rev. >> thanks for having us, reverend. >> kendall, we know -- we've heard now that michael drewniak on the record, we've heard now his account of his dinner meeting with david wildstein. how significant was this moment he's talking about, this dinner? >> well, it's extremely significant. when you consider it's the only thing anywhere in any of the information we've seen, any of the evidence that's been heard that provides some direct linkage to the governor christie. it's a one-on-one, remverend. and what that means is it could be a combination of wildstein saying, we don't know all the details but wildstein versus christie or christie saying i don't remember anything about it. but one of the most important things is simply to find out if, in fact, that conversation took place. we now have drewniak in effect corroborating the account of wildstein that conversation did take place. and consider also timing which is extremely important. this is timing before this

i'm jonathan capehart in for ari. >>> we are closely watching the markets as they hang on the every word >> who? >> not me. janet yellen. she's on today with some good news and a warning about the economy. >> krystal, i hang on your every word. the most infamous intern is back. 16 years after her affair with president clinton, why is monica lewinsky speaking out now? a lot of people are wondering that today. so is abby. >>> if millennials are twitter, washington much aol. i'm abby huntsman, can we click our way to better government. come into our domain. it's "the cycle." >>> we start with the comeback of the gop establishment, maybe. last night's

joining us is sam youngman and "washington post" columnist and msnbc contributor, jonathan capehart.nk you for having me. >> you bet. let's play mcconnell against bruce lunsford in 2008 a awe we do well when we send somebody to washington who is smart enough and able enough to rise to the top. bruce is only a few years younger than i can. he couldn't possibly be there long enough to have any impact. but he is temperamentally unsuited and not young enough to be there long enough to have an if pact on the process. as a result of your confidence in me, i have been there long enough, i am in the front seat and the middle of the things that make a difference. >> walk us through his strategy. why he thinks debates here are page one of the playbook? i don't think you will hear him accuse alison lundegran grimes, the focal point of his strategy, two fold. one, kentucky, another chance against barack obama. and two, he has got the seniority, on the cusp of becoming senate majority leader. i think they believe that the best way to sort of, smoke out alison lundegran grimes for being an inexper

and "the washington post" jonathan capehart. both for coming on the show tonight. >> thanks, rev. >> let me start with you, is this opposition just the latest case of ofis, if the obamas are for it, the gop is against it? >> yeah, and, of course, the state is doing this, the evil state is imposing that these children have to eat fresh vegetables and fresh fruit and whole grains instead of other things and fewer calories, so it's that, but basically driven by the fact that if the obamas are pushing it, they are going to be against it. now, you know, i thought we all grew up being told by our mothers to eat our greens and try and eat healthy, but apparently, you know, once the obamas latch on to that idea, it becomes a bad idea in republican land, and it's really a terrible thing, because i was having a joke with my headline there, little bit of a joke, "republicans for more fat kids," but that's in essence what it boils down to. >> as a guy that grew up a fat kid in school, i took it personal, your headline. aside from that -- >>

and jonathan, by the way, we should let you know that mr. capehartfill ing in for joy reid today on the "the reid report." >> and coming up, everybody is talking about edward snowden and everybody has an opinion. he is going to take center stage in this week's "reputation report" coming up. clinically proven as effective as brushing. ok, here you go. have you ever seen a dog brush his own teeth? the twist and nub design cleans all the way down to the gum line, even reaching the back teeth. they taste like a treat, but they clean like a toothbrush. nothing says you care like a milk-bone brushing chew.

i'm jonathan capehart. we're going to dig into a report, more like a school report from a college freshman whose aim is to -- >> we know "the odd couple" as a legendary sitcom. these days it's a real show i thought it was my day to rant. >>> the 2014 midterm election psych sl now officially under way, not just because we're using the music but because the first primary ballots have been cast. voters are coming onto the polls in indiana, north carolina, and. it's the tea party versus the republican establishment among the three top candidates. the mainstream party is behind this man, state house speaker t thom tillis. plus the chamber of commerce, mitch mcconnell and a guy you might know, mitt romney. dr. greg is the tea party favorite he's had help from both free doms works and the tea party favorite citizens funds. the national organization for marriage concerned women for america in the family research council's action pac are also throwing their power behind harris. but whoever wins, they need to get 40%

as well as host of the daily rundown and sits in this seat most days and msnbc contributor, jonathan capehart. chuck, we'll start with you, the democrats from your polling are holding their own in these races. we'll show those numbers right now in arkansas specifically, mark pryor widely considered to be the most vulnerable democrat, leading by double digits, 11 points. give us a sense of what's at stake here? what's most striking, you discussed earlier today, the fact that a lot of people don't like president obama are still sticking around to support mark pryor. >> reporter: a third of his support, he's getting a third of his vote -- a third of the support of folks that disapprove of the job president obama is doing. so you see that he is so far successfully positioned himself as a nonobama democrat, at least as far as arkansas is concerned. i think what all three polls show is a reminder that we can do all of the data crunching we want. you can take -- you can look at something behind a spreadsheet and claim that a state will vote this way and 85% of the time and vote that way. campaigns m
