krystal, he is coming after you.et and so he has now started -- he calls i rush babes for america. >> well, one clarification. i was one of the original founders and had part of the idea for stoprush.net. but stop rush has been a tremendous success because of hundreds of volunteers nationwide who have been logging reports and tracking sponsors. so, he was coming after a nationwide movement against him that has been very, very damaging to his business and to the business of clear channel radio. >> yeah. we have the ceo of the company saying they have lost millions of dollars because of what you and what the national reaction has been to his attacks. >> right. they came out to say they had lost millions. they only carry rush on 38 channels. so you can imagine if you multiply that by a factor of several factors what clear channel is losing. now, rush will have you believe that all of these efforts have had no effect, that things are just like they always have been, his ratings are up etc., etc. but his actions tell us s

let me start with you, krystal.he idea that republicans are picking on obama for hanging out with celebrities, obviously this is something both parties have to do because they can raise the money they need to raise and not need the public financing to do it, right? >> i don't know what the big deal is, romney has celebrity endorsers, too. jeff foxworthy. they tried this attack back in 08 to overcome it. it's kind of pathetic to me that this is the best they can do right now. >> the idea that they're putting out these illiterative press releases, it reminds you of nepotism. the thing that interested me the most was the two ralph winners. the obama campaign has promoting this average american donor could go to dinner with the president, and two ordinary americans that won the raffle got to go to clooney's house last night and be a part of it. both of them interestingly brought their husbands with them even though they were going to george clooney's house. what do you make of that? >> i don't make anything of that. the

which is krystal's daughter talking about issues that krystal talks about.have children who want to model themselves after their parents. and if their parents are responsible, we think of that as a good thing. the other part of this, though, we have a world where adolescence has been shrunk down by the internet, people working more. >> chemicals in the food. >> failure to put the children to work at a younger age. so -- >> so even with or without the child labor dynamic there, i do think that what you have are kids that are less protected from a lot of the things that in previous generations they just didn't have all of these adult stimuli -- >> all overexposed and the overexposure to the young people is a -- you know, we've got to call the tiger mom -- >> don't call it a tiger mom. call it the french mom who is bring up bebe whose kids are relaxed and chill and obedient. >> yeah, we'll call her. you know her? >> no, but it's the "d.r. show." make a call, anyone comes. >> did you want to say something? >> i was going to say with your child labor thing. i was

let's talking with krystal, about this bill maher/donald trump. is this a false equivalentsy? >> of course it is. and it's the same thing that they tried to pull when rush limbaugh came out and calmed sandra fluke a prostitute, they said, what about bill maher? as you pointed out, there is no comparison. and one thing you didn't mention is the difference between intentional comedy and unintentional comedy. donald trump is hilarious, but he doesn't mean to be. that's another important distinction there. >> abby, it sure seems like it's part of the talking point for the republicans. >> this is all strategical. i mean, honestly, romney is not saying anything because he can't. he has to wi nevada. that's the bigger issue here. the biggest voting group is casinos, mormons, and donald trump is a big part of that. no matter what donald trump says, romney can't say anything. >> but that's ridiculous. at some point, if he's going to demonstrate he can be president of the united states, he has to be able to stand up to a loser like donald trump. what is he going to do if he's in the whi

it was. >> krystal, i'm not precisely aware of what i said.at i said. explain that to me. >> it is classic rox i think there was a story about how he has been very kicking reporters off the rope line. he's been very hard to get ahold of. he has not done many interviews. i think comments like that are exactly why they have so limited the press. he had one thing he wanted to say. i repudiate this approach. pivot to an attack on the president. in the enhe took like two questions. in one of them he has to say, i stand by what in, whatever it was. it is classic. this is why he is not allowed to talk to reporters. >> professor, you're an educator in a professional sense. can you explain to me what he meant by that sentence? i'm not sure of what i said but i stand by what i said. >> i'm not sure what he said but it is full of nothing. this is the pomp and circumstance. this is the performance politics of, you know, of the presidential campaign without the substance. look, i don't know what i said but whatever it was, i'm so adherent and i'm so dogged

as krystal that, two parents? that's so 1950s.ny way, i'm done. >> let's also point out this is someone who does not support marriage equality. when he is talking about two-parent households, he is talking about a specific kind of two-parent household that meets his criteria. >> he is talking about himself. that's whaes talking about. . >>> a programming note, don't miss chris matthews' interview with the serial adulterer on "hardball." >> we would have spared the war in afghanistan. we would have spared the war in iraq. >> where he is, right? you did not know where -- osama bin laden was. >> they could have?

krystal, our assessment of the president's speech. >> i think he did a very good job. he does what he does best which is balancing the pragmatic and laying down five very concrete steps as to how we will end this conflict and tie it into american values and make it idealistic adds well. what came to mind for me with some of his rhetoric was ronald reagan and he said here in the predawn darkness of afghanistan we can see a light of the new day on horizon. it is exactly that hopeful rhetoric that made us fall in love with this president in the first place. >> howard fineman, is hopeful rhetoric and an outline of where we go in the withdraw, what america was ready to hear tonight? >> oh, i think americans want to hear how we will get out of there, how we will stop risking american and losing american lives and pressure there, while not allowing al qaeda to reestablish itself. i thought the president was very shrewd in laying out a game plan now so he doesn't have to argue about it later in the midst of the presidential campaign. i think this was both a diplomatic speech a

krystal, as a woman and the sole invited guest of this panel. the president in his approach to women. what was your reaction to what he said? >> i had a very strong personal reaction to it, watching it. it was an excellent speech. i don't think anyone could deny that. i hike the clip that you showcase. the tenor was not here's why i'm great and why you should like me. it was you need to get out there and fight and work and stand up for yourselves. and the future of the country and the world is really in your hands as future leaders. >> the empowerment. >> exactly. it is almost not fair to compare the president speaking to a college and mitt romney's commencement address. because i think we can still hear the cheers at barnard going on right now. and it is hard to imagine in fact any room in the country that mitt romney could speak in where he would be greeted with such joy and enthusiasm as the president is greeted, whether he is at a women's college or speaking to the uaw. it is quite remarkable. >> the president was at barnard. he is going on
