this goes to what krystal was talking about. we shouldn't forget one part of this is about undermining the legitimacy of the obama presidency and whatever cabinet member they can use that's part of going after holder, going after sebelius. remember, part of oh this is about attacking the president and his legitimacy. number two, what ted cruz is not reminding the american people is let's talk about the last time republicans impeached a president. after a 70 to 80 million expenditure of an investigation that then led to impeachment of the president and i seem to remember that president's numbers went skyrocket are iing. it pointed out to the american people that republicans are often willing to go too far, get drunk on power. in this case you try to impeach or sue. what it points out is what's not getting done in congress. >> there is one big difference. at least there was an allegation. >> right. >> at least there was something to try and make impeachable. this this regard they don't have an allegation. this is all imaginary. re

just like krystal said. one reason it was so interesting to have them on the stage together is they basically make the same cases. you know, piketty does it empirically, saying that for 250 years across the globe the system has been rigged with one 30-year exception during that time. and she makes the case here in the united states the system's been rigged for the last 50 years. but there's remarkable convergence between the two pf in fact, after piketty was talking about his wealth tax, an annual tax on everybody's wealth, she said i'm in, i'm in. then she paused and she said, i'm in for the idea that we need more fairness in our tax code. but you could see as she was listening to the professor lay out why the wealth tax is a necessary thing, it kind of resonated with her. but then she said, well, we need to look at all the details. she's still a united states senator, after all. >> well, and ryan, i think the way that you phrased your question to senator warren on whether or not she would run was so smartl

. >> i think when you look at that point, krystal, that also goes to some of the reports we're hearing for this speech by the president that we're awaiting on. there are reports that he's also going to speak to the fact congress is going to have to get in and try to provide a better mechanism to deal with these children, with this humanitarian crisis. 52,000 children. one of the possibilities, we'll see what the president says when he says it, one of the possibilities is this discussion of a fast-track authority through homeland security. now, the humanitarian legal approach to that makes a lot of sense. this is a real problem. the political approach, though, will be, does this congress that spends so much time fulminating against the president for these outside immigration problems want to get in and deal with something that nobody really wants to take ownership of, which is the difficulty of these children on the border? >> you're absolutely right to call it a humanitarian crisis. some people have called it a refugee crisis, which perhaps should be considered different than the tradi

. >> i have to ask this, krystal. that's what this is about. senator lindsey graham doesn't want this tuned over to the courts yet. he says, "don't torture him, but have some quality time with him." help me out here. is quality time the new version of enhanced interrogation? >> i noticed the same thing. senator ayotte had similar language about making sure we get all the information from him possible. i'm having flashbacks to debates i thought we put behind us. john mccain and others calling for him to go to guantanamo bay instead of having faith in the american criminal justice system where we have successfully tried and convicted, i think, 500 terrorists since 9/11. it is a flashback. they are bringing things up to incite the base, to ignite debates that put president obama on his heels rather than celebrating the victory that they themselves have been calling for. >> it's very interesting. at one level they say it's a distraction. another level they want to guide how they spend quality time. what kind of interrogation. what will happen? >> t

they don't hold the samele values you and i and krystal do about the role of government.re is that role? where is the role of the private sector? they don't believe in that. they wanted to make government dysfunctional, be obstructionist, not just to stand in the way of president obama and hatred of obama but also to make government look as bad as possible. and as ineffective as possible. in spite of that, we have had small glimmers of places where we have had success. i think our value ares hold that government has a role to play in our lives. remember, this was part of the agenda. this is part of the talking points part of what they campaigned on, part of what they came to washington to do. >> she raises a good point. are there republicans in congress that want to be unpopular in certain parts of the country? >> in a certain way, that's are right. you have to think about the absurdity of someone who has like a louis gomert, someone on the far right with so much contempt of government that they want to be elected to serve in it? it makes no sense. they didn't come to gov

i am krystal ball. steve kornacki is taking off the longest day of the year. you know he thought about that too. but we want to begin with what it looks like in baghdad. just earlier this morning a military parade of thousands marching through the streets. not only have young iraqi shiites answered the call for volunteers to fight the sunni al qaeda group called isis, they're also being joined by members of the iraqi army who are re-enlisting at this point. the government is even offering free flights to the capital who soldiers who deserted and found themselves stranded. security officials say that sunni militants have seized an iraqi crossing on the border with syria. about 30 iraqi troops were killed. the officials say that people are now crossing back and forth freely. the iraqi government is also facing its own tensions from within. the spiritual leader of iraq's shiite majority is now saying it's time for new leadership. that's a not so subtle way of saying without saying that it's time for prime minister nouri al maliki to go. u.s. secretary of state jo

i am krystal ball in for joy reid.ugh. >> i ask people to look at the facts. >> in newly released court documen documents, prosecutors accuse scott wark of personally overseeing what they're calling a sweeping criminal scheme. >> are they trying to do to you what they did to chris christie in new jersey? >> prosecutors describe how walker was personally orchestrating a criminal scheme to circumvent state election and campaign finance laws. >> oh, again, i think there's no doubt this is one of those where the media jumps on this, some on the left spin this. you get detractors out there trying to claim there's something more than there is. >>> then reactions to the president's decision on iraq continue to pour in, but are there really any good options for iraq? >>> plus, the bush versus gore opponents who teamed up and became the legal rock stars in the fight for marriage equality. joy's interview with ted olson and david boyes today. >>> but we start in iraq where an additional 300 american troops prepare to assist the

joining me now are virginia delegate delegates and msnbc's krystal ball. >> thanks for having us, rev >> what did you think when you heard about senator puckett's resignation. did he make a deal with the republicans? >> well, rev, i was shocked when i found out last night around 7:00 reading the paper. it's been pretty well known that senator puckett has been getting -- he's been wanting his daughter to get a full appointment on the juvenile domestic relations court down there and senator republicans have been telling him it isn't going to happen as long as he's been serving on the state senate. that's been happening for a while. this state tobacco commission came out of the blue. they scheduled a meeting to consider employment on friday. within 24 hours of that, the resignation letter had been delivered to the clerk of the senate. you know, as of today, the senator is now saying he doesn't want the job and the meeting has been canceled that was scheduled for wednesday to consider employment matters. so it looks like everybody is backtracking from this, but there's a lot of smoke out

i'm krystal ball in for joy reid today. this is "the reid report."th immigration frustration. >> speaker boehner refuses to call this bipartisan measure because he knows quite simply it would pass. >> they're afraid of the tea party. >> the senate has acted long overdue for the house to do so. >> and if he does not, the president will borrow the power that is needed to solve the problems of immigration. >> i'm not going to apologize for trying to do something while they're doing nothing. >> but the big question, is the president ready to act? then, didn't republicans learn their lesson 40 years ago? we'll explain the virginia republicans' heist and how it will affect health care for virginia's most vulnerable. >>> and, i scratch your back, you scratch mine. thad cochran beat back chris mcdaniel with a lot of help from black voters, but will cochran remember who helped him keep his seat once he's back in washington? >>> we begin with that question that encompasses the will of the american people. a pending lawsuit against the president and how much th

i think there's a lot of factors in it, krystal. pete mentioned copycats, people not be able to deal with stress in their lives, mental health issues certainly, guns everywhere, family members who doesn't lock up their guns. i've been to many of these school shootings over my almost 40 years as a uniformed policeman and a.t.f. commander and often times we found the gun came right out of the home. it was the parents' gun. the parents trusted the young person with the gun. they'd gone hunting, the father or mother taught them correct gun handling procedures and so forth and wouldn't believe their child would do it. the issue is teen-agers are just developing, and if this turns out to be a student, we haven't verified that but if it turns out to be a student, somebody not fully developed in their reasoning and pressures, all teen-agers have pressures in their life. one thing that can reduce sh shootings today, every parent, grandparent, if they have guns in their home, make sure those are locked up in their homes and they can't go to t

now, the rest of the day's news, including where in the world is krystal ball? find out on "the cycle." >>> iraq is front and center once again this friday. government forces have said, not so fast, to those isil militants who moved in on the country's largest oil refinery. it's now become an all-out battle for control. the iraqis are already beginning to receive the advice of the u.s. military in the form of about 300 military advisers, as the president calls them. they'll help the iraqis deploy their vast military resources in the most useful way possible. they'll also help gather intelligence so the iraqi military can further target their attacks on militants. but as the president said yesterday, it's up to the iraqis to fight this fight, and that has a lot of people concerned both here and there. nbc's ayman mohyeldin is in the northern part of the country in iraq's fourth largest city, erbil, home to a million and a half people caught in this conflict. also with us, former u.s. ambassador mark ginsburg, who advises the white house on mideast issues, dating

krystal, over to you. >> there you go. all right. is not just the most talented weather guy we know, he's also a passionate advocate for equality in the lgbt community. so it comes as no surprise that he will have a huge part in this weekend's new york city pride parade. widely regarded as the largest celebration of its kind in the world. you can catch him at the front of the route on the float for wnbc. that's our flagship station here in the great new york. and there is a lot to celebrate this year. to date, 19 states and the district of columbia have legalized marriage equality, and the momentum continues on the national level. president obama just last week expanded federal benefits to gay couples through an executive order. yes, there is obviously much more work to be done, but advances in marriage equality no longer seem like blockbuster news, and that's a pretty awesome thing. rafi joins us at the table for a giant spin. rafi, it has been -- it's been a great year. there's a lot to celebrate. >> it is a celebration. the pride

but as krystal is saying, there's not a clear argument about what to do.nd look at a democracy like israel in the region. syria-israel is long island to manhattan. they don't have the luxury of looking at it from a distance. their view, having been involved in so many wars in the area, the view from israel has been, it is impossible to intervene in a way that advances our interests, and there is a likelihood that we will make this worse. and we see the face of evil, talking about syria gassing innocents, but where he have tried to intervene, and found it doesn't work, it's too complex, and it's not our fight. >> well, you pointed out, there's a good intent there. we want to do the humanitarian thing, but the flip side, we can't always create the situation we want to create. >>> up next, the capture of the suspected mastermind of the benghazi attack. how should we handle these deadly enemies in u.s. courts? so i can reach ally bank 24/7 but there are no branches? 24/7 i'm sorry- i'm just really reluctant to try new things. really? what's wrong with trying n

kryst krystal, you showed those sneakers.vis has stirred up from a segment of the democratic base here. very unusual i think for a candidate for governor inform a state like texas or any state for that matter. if this is not the year, if she falls short this november, what is the future for wendy davis? >> well, that's a great question, and to your point, steve, you know, her filibuster has sparked this transformation in the democrat party here. one staffer was telling me, they went from having five staff members of the democratic party here to having about 70. so dramatic transformation, and i think the question for the democratic party and for wendy davis is can they sustain past this election because as wayne slater from "the dallas morning news" was telling us, eventually texas will be in a place where the work has been done, the voters have been registered, they've been mobilized, and it really could become blue. so i don't think it's out of the question to think that if she can't get through this time maybe fours from n

. >> as krystal mentioned, you were one of the physicians treating the victims in tucson in 2011. back to that day. >> well, it was a rare day off. but i was actually doing my run. and during that time period, i got a text that said that we had ten people that were shot. and so i started to hustle back in, to go into the hospital. it was during that time period when one of my lead surgeons that was on call, called me and let me know one of the injured persons was a congresswoman. fortunately, everybody did well. especially the people who were hurt. but i think the team did well. and ended up having as good of a result as we could have. >> we often think, we hear a trauma surgeon, we think of "grey's anatomy," dr. dreamy and this glamorous life, which is very far from reality. and you tell a story in your book about that very day, even after gabby gifford came in after the shooting, just hours later, you had five other folks that you had to work on. this is every single day for you. help us better understand what the day in the life of your job is. >> yes. it can be nonstop. and it

. >>> i'm krystal ball.ere on "the cycle," including a few run-offs thrown in to keep it interesting. we're watching contests in eight states, with a major focus on two races that politically speaking are really polar opposites. we've got new york's 13th congressional district and mississippi's gop senate primary run-off. senator thad cochran and congressman charles rangel each are the third-longest serving lawmakers in their respective chambers. and these guys have been winning primaries since carter was president.

. >> igor, krystal referenced why the rhetoric has become so apocalyptic, is because the edges see thecies as dangerous for the country, as the potential ruination for the country. and that drives us apart even more. >> you see the rhetoric in the political leaders. obamacare, you have to shut down the government, on the other hand, paul ryan is pushing seniors off a cliff. that kind of rhetoric clearly is reflected in society. i think people who don't spend a lot of time watching cable news, reading political news stories, take their cues from political leaders. the more divided they are, the more we will be as well. >> going through this article, i found it fascinating that you see, although extreme partisan expressing hostility toward the opposite party, it doesn't really affect how people see political opposites personally. they can marry a foreigner, families are okay with that, they're okay marrying someone of a different race, but they're not okay if you're marrying a republican if you're a democrat. >> what does it say for tolerance, right? grow tolerant within our family if we

. >> look at the policy background of this, as krystal mentioned, an i.c.e. report of families broken up. many others had smaller convictions. in politics you hear people talk about family values. having worked on this project, what do you think about this part of our policy here which seems not to prioritize families or a second chance? >> i think there's something that needs to be done about it. i understand no matter where you are on this issue, the commonality here is that people are just trying to give their families a better life and better opportunity and i think that, you know, to separate a family and a young child and put them in foster care system, and, you know, these parents were just trying to give their kids a better chance. you know, it's unfair. >> yeah. you did a lot of research, as you were saying, for the film. but watching that scene, when you're being separated from your daughter and you're crying, it's so real, as if that was actually happening to you. how did you emotionally get into that character? did you imagine yourself actually go

whether you love her or hate her, whether you think she should run or not, krystal, i'm talking to you, this book is sending 2016 signals up everyone's spines, it all depends on how you interpret them. we go to mark murray and our brand new political reporter, perry bacon, you love him as perry bacon. when they put, sr., makes you feel old. >> mark, part of what they're doing, what the hillary world is doing is doing lot of data mapping with the web site and other things, helping to figure out who is waiting in line for this book, who is dying to get this book, how do you cultivate them in this sort of data mapping rich world. tease a really interesting part of a not yet presidential campaign. >> well, that's right. i think that's why everyone kind of sees this rollout as something more than just selling books. if you're going to get people's e-mail addresses, get people to be a potential donor list, that is something that could potentially be used in 2016. as we pointed out and you just referenced, the biggest news in this book is that she makes really no news at all. this is someone

i was trying to make a larger point that while krystal and others talk about a critique and want a desireld be expanding that conversation to talk about the democratic party as a whole. >> i agree. >> that's well said. we veal more on this and get basel in here as well right after this. make a lot of purchas for my business. and i get a lot in return with ink plus from chase. like 50,000 bonus points when i spent $5,000 in the first 3 months after i opened my account. and i earn 5 times the rewards on internet, phone services and at office supply stores. with ink plus i can choose how to redeem my points. travel, gift cards, even cash back. and my rewards points won't expire. so you can make owning a business even more rewarding. ink from chase. so you can. we know in the cyber world, threats are always evolving. at first, we were protecting networks. then, we were protecting the transfer of data. and today it's evolved to infrastructure... ♪ ...finance... and military missions. we're constantly innovating to advance the front line in the cyber battle, wherever it takes us. that's the val

. >> we challenged paul bremer and bill krystal. we always have debates. that is a free marketplace idea. i don't know why some people are weak and -- >> is there a little bit of a difference here with dick cheney. paul bremer came on our show and we asked and we answered. dick cheney and his daughter are setting up an organization. i guess politically some things didn't work out so they are finding other ways to insert themselves in the conversation and i find this scary and i'll tell you about. no, that is where this conversation began and you can go off in 20,000 directions and you can ask about paul bremer but it comes back to why we find this statement by cheney perhaps a little bit more difficult to grasp than other people who might come on our show and talk about it. you talked about the original sin being invading iraq that we awe agree with that, he doesn't. he doesn't still! he doesn't. >> that is correct. >> okay. >> he doesn't. a righteous act on our part. >> don't get cheney syndrome here. >> i'm not. >> not only do you agree with deck cheney
