i interviewed julian assange. we began by asking him about the european commission decision that the credit card company be said did not break the european union's antitrust rule by blocking donations to wikileaks. >> the decision is disgraceful, but it is only a preliminary decision. hopefully, they will turn around before the end of the year. the commission had been investigating our plans for 16 months. the normal turnaround time is 14 months. the european parliament last week voted through an article 32, a section on how banks should be reformed, credit card companies performed, in order to start a conditional financial blockade, such as the one being applied. all 47 ministers last year passed a resolution saying these sorts of arbitrary financial blockade on wikileaks should not continue. it is interesting to see what is happening in the political world in europe, on the one hand, the parliament, and on the other hand, the commission. it has been known for a long time, the commission is closer to business, of

julian, it's interesting because the white house obviously made the appointments and president obama them to stick, but a bigger issue, they made hundreds, more than 300 decisions with these members on this panel, and the court, the district court or the appellate court ruled that they're not only wrong and illegal, null and void, that it actually is a breach of our constitution, so, who's impacted by the decisions that are no longer in play? >> it's unclear what will happen to the decisions particularly if there's appeal to the supreme court. the vacating of those decisions could itself be stayed. but, look, this is an extraordinary decision by the d.c. circuit. it overturns over 100 years of precedent. every single president, republican and democrat, during the last hundred years, 150 years, has made these kind of recess appointments, and what the court said yesterday was na the president's constitutional power is limited to extremely narrow window between when congress goes out of session at the end of each year or when you're between congresses, what was going on here was that th

julian was an actor. certainly not a leading man.arted in this business as an actor, and then had he small parts in small manufactures, and then, you know, the great director robert altman asked him to write godsford park, and then he went back to this period drama, this time that is so interesting, and the good news for all of us, andrea, especially at nbc, is that julian fellows is writing a new show for nbc called "the guilded age," and it's at the same time when all -- when doubt ab wri is happening. it's going to be happening in the united states. people are losing millions and barrons and all of that. i think he writes characters very well. we all care so much about what's going on what's going on upstairs and downstairs and i'm thrilled. i'm thrilled that the show is doing so well. >> well, and maybe they could recycle the costumes which are superb. tell me about the set because were you in the grand home in which they shoot it? or do they have a stage set in london? take us behind the scenes. >> they have different sets. the

julian, the vice president was in richmond, virginia, today. was the scene of that horrific massacre in 2007 when 32 people were killed. but it's also the backyard of house majority leader eric cantor. is this the administration taking its campaign for gun safety to those places which have been most severely impacted by gun violence? >> well, that's right, and i think that this is part of what obama hinted at during the inaugural address when he basically said he was going to get down to business and he was going to take the case to the people and use pressure from the outside to break the obstructionism from the inside. i think this is the first sign that the administration means business on that. i also think it's very, very important that we not start out at sea with a big fish and come back to shore with a skeleton and that the pressure has got to be kept on with respect to assault weapons and large-scale magazines. the public supports, as you know, background checks on a scale of 90% but when it comes to large magazines or clip it's about

from the water, julian can see that only a few people, including, moss hills, are left. the ship, moss hills finally gets his chance to rescue himself. >> when i finally put a harness on myself and got hoisted up into the helicopter, it was an incredible feeling. and suddenly, you know, i felt that's it. i'm safe. and i looked down at the ship and i thought, you know, that's -- from the air to see just how critically damaged the ship was. we looked down and just saw hundreds and hundreds of people, a wave came over me. i remember one of the recue guys coming to me and saying, are you okay? i said, yes. everybody's off. it's over. we've got them all off, and then collapsing. >> moss is exhausted but finally safe. when he comes to, he only wants to know if everyone else is okay. >> i still thought there were people missing. and i was feeling this immense dread that we'd left somebody onboard because there were people unaccounted for. >> amazingly all 571 passengers, crew members and cruise staff make it off the "oceanos" alive. later a naval board of inquiry blames the cap

julian callow is still with us. julian, do you take this news as a positive development for markets or are you concerned about still the prospect of a government shutdown as others are calling for once we hit some of those further deadlines? >> yeah. i think that is quite positive, really. it shows that there is some desire not to up the vote too much on the side of the house. republicans at this stage. i think it's actually very important if we think about what it means for both financial markets and for the u.s. economy. obviously, financial market conditions have improved noticeably. there's less uncertainty around. that should come through in terms of stronger business confidence and that will mean hiring, it will mean greater spending power and investment coming through, as well as in the u.s. economy. but we still need to nurture this. what's more, there's a fierce fiscal headwind coming through this year with a 2 percentage point payroll tax increase in the first of january. certainly if you like tr an econom

and in washington, democratic strategist julian epstein. msnbc political analyst professor michael eric dyson. welcome to you all. steven, i have to start with you as someone himself was wounded. you showed me the injuries below your collar. and you heard yesterday in the preliminary hearings in aurora of a 911 call which lasted 27 seconds and featured 33 bullets being fired. i suppose you must be grateful that walmart changed its mind and decided to attend the white house. >> oh, of course. and, you know, that 911 call, what that shows really is the lethality of the weapons we're dealing with here. and pressuring organizations like walmart, like the nra, even congress is going to be crucial to this debate and to getting some common sense reform. >> and i'm assuming that you've been doubly impacted because you grew up just five minutes, ten minutes from sandy hook elementary school. so you know that area very well. you know the school. >> yeah. i know people who worked in that school. and who passed away. and so this -- i mean, this issue i

i want to give julian a quick last word. running out of time.ut if you listened to the hearing today what you heard is on the politics a lot. why do republicans seem to invoke the constitution so much more often than their colleagues on the other side of the aisle? >> well, i think democrats are beginning to make it clear that the second amendment according to the supreme court and heller and the case dealing with the corporation, but really speaks only to the right to hold a h d handgun inside your home. in that case the court and justice scalia invited regulations on things much of which the obama administration is talking about. i think it's clear the second amendment arguments are poor when addressing this legislation. two your earlier point which i think was very good, ari, and you know this from working in the senate. the reason the republicans were so effective in 1999 in preventing the congress bill from coming to the floor is because many democrats were conspireing with them to do it. this time that's not the case. so if republicans now

no doubt about it. >> megyn: julian, your thoughts? >> well, if jay wants to say this is a decision of a monarch, then he would characterize former president bush as a monarch, former president bush made somewhere in the order of 171 of these appointments. these are appointments that have regularly been made by presidents. president clinton made 139. and somewhat what the court said here, different from what other courts have said, is that presidents cannot make recess appointments one, between congressing or two, between sessions of congresses which occur at basically the end of the year for a very short period of time. presidents since we have all known about, since we can remember have made recess appointments on things like summer recesses, when congress goes away for the month of august. so, what the court is now saying, it's their interpretation of the constitutional power to make recess appointments under the constitution, limits the president's ability to do it except in very, very narrow time frames, that's a rule that's never

now, julian, i have to put it to you. show me a baseball bat that can kill 20 people in a few seconds? >> we've made that point. there's nothing else out there that has the capacity to create these kind of massacres in a matter of seconds as does assault weapons. let me say also before going on on this, just remind your viewers, since newtown, there have been 1,300 gun related homicides. so the idea that this is not an epidemic in this country is just belied by all the statistics, and on assault weapons, as dianne feinstein pointed out, when we had an assault weapons ban in 1994, we saw assault weapons crime go down 66%, 70%. steve is right, the reason we see the nra as marketing assault weapons to 10-year-olds is because shooting sports like hunting are on the decrease, and what the nra is fundamentally trying to do and what this is all about, everything that they do is about selling more guns. and the parallels to the tobacco industry become very clear. it was when we realized that the tobacco industry was trying to sel

with us from washington msnbc political analyst karen finney, and democratic strategist julian epsteinren, if i might begin with you, the president of the nra, david keene, says an assault weapons ban would never make it through congress and that any limits on high capacity ammunition clips would also fail and larry pratt h executive director of the gun owners of america, says background checks are a complete waste of time. so why don't we all now go home and look forward to the next mass shooting. >> yeah. we might as well. you know what? and while we're at it let's give up on the debt ceiling, give up on health care implementation. you know, why bother? we're not going to solve any problems because it's going to be too hard to ask our members of congress to do their job? here is the thing though, you know, look at how intensified and ugly the rhetoric got last week, talks of insurrection and 1776 and stalin and hitler and then over the weekend these pronouncements that it's not going to happen, no way. what that tells you they're becoming increasingly desperate because there's also a

. >> julian, a study after the aurora shooting found much support for specific gun control measures. nearly all support background checks. a majority back a ban on semiautomatics and high capacity magazines. and yet the gun lobby screams that this is the beginning of some kind of governmental reign of terror when the people are expressing their views, are they not? >> right. and i think there's two points there. again, there is enormous public support for these measures. the question is whether these populous and progressive organizations and the infrastructure that they have at their disposals can begin to get the legislatures to follow up on public will here. secondly, the nra argument as stephen and michael were eluding to, there have been dozens perhaps hundreds of challenges to gun laws that are on the books across the country. and nearly every single one of them have failed. there is virtually no case law on the federal books right now that says any of these gun measures under consideration would be -- when they say this encroaches on second maemt rights, they have no understan

and in washington democratic strategist julian epstein. dr. peterson, i want to start with you.bviously 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 interesting, karen, we haven't talked much about the militia groups and extremist groups and how
