joining me now are dana milbank and maria teresa kumar. thank you for coming on the show. is titled, quote, the cruz afiction of the gop. you write the standoff has been a political blood bath for republicans and maybe that's exactly what was needed to right the political system. what do you mean by that? >> well, look. ted cruz did something very good for ted cruz and very bad for the republican party. and for that matter, for the conservative movement now you showed him being under water with that negative 14, the reason it's not much lower than that is not enough people know him yet. the more he's getting known to the american public, the more negative his numbers become. so he became the de facto leader of this shutdown, this -- and it was chiropractor clear from the beginning that it would be a disaster for his party. he took them in that direction anyway. they were intimidated into doing it. ted cruz isn't at this moment scaring the democrats to death. he's scaring his fellow republicans to death. >> maria, is ted cruz like other states rights defenders who oppose pr

joining me now are michael eric dyson and maria teresa kumar.r being here. >> thank you, rev. >> thank you, reverend. >> dr. dyson, the right wing could find policies to disagree with, but they just want to make up their own facts, why? >> you're so absolutely right. they're living in a parallel world. the world of facts suggests this government shutdown hurt the very people that supposedly they want to take care of. working class people. though they don't mention them. middle class people. government workers. 800,000-some strong. the reality is poor people were disadvantaged during the shutdown. people lost access to health care and on top of that, some people even lost their lives as a result of some of the extreme measures taken in observation of the shutdown. the reality is obama care was not the supposed victim of this shutdown. it was the american people. and even though they said they wanted to get at obama care, that wasn't on the table. all they did was get out there and show their right wing base they can be rebelliourebelliousy did no

let's bring in today's j enda panel and maria teresa is the president and ceo of voto latino. >> youis speech. is the president trying to deflect the conversation away from the obama care rollout and how that seems to be taking a lot of oxygen out of d.c. and any type of legislative agenda? >> i would have said so except that darryl issa, the congressman from california, the republican actually gave an outline yesterday so i think what the white house wants to say is encourage the conversations that darryl issa had put forward. what i did find today that was significant is that he had vice president joe biden by his side, some but when you start talking to joe about immigration reform he really believes that it's a parallel conversation that his ancestors had with irish roots and understands the obstacles that immigrants face and they go behind closed doors on capitol hill and have one to one discussions with folks in rural areas and i think it was significant that the vice president join the president today. it's a really good observation today and let me ask you because as maria te

joining us now is angela rye, a political strategist with impact strategies and also joining us is maria teresand msnbc contributor. maria theresa, in less than four weeks, one week before valentine's day, we get to do this all over again. my question is whether mr. boehner has learned how to lead. and if not, are we in for another repeat performance? if you look at him earlier, throwing his fist pump, he looks like he's ready to go again. >> go again against his own republican party. that's completely de facto, the right wing of the republican party that he doesn't identify with. what's happening right now, and that was basilically the battle cry that ted cruz was really saying, was that come 2014, he knows that there's going to be a lot of republicans that are up for re-election and they're going to need those primary voters to vote for them in spades. and unfortunately, a lot of them are tea party members. they're going to it use this discussion, once again, the debt ceiling, the american economy, as a battle cry to go -- make sure these folks go back to the polls. and that's where we have t

someone else who's been a guest is maria teresa kumar. >> and what do you think these kinds of -- i'mlion awards. you probably have boxes in your attic somewhere. but why are awards in a situation like this important? do they matter? >> i think it matters in terms of public machine, influence, just the essence of what's in the zeitgeist. when you see people like christiane receiving an award tomorrow night, she's greatly admired, she's certainly plenty smart and has done a lot of extraordinary things. >> a lifetime achievement award in her case. >> what's it going to take to move to the next level, though? >> i was talking earlier to somebody and i said, you know, it took 20 years just to get people to wear seat belts, so it takes -- it takes time. this is a whole cultural thing. we've lived with this for eons and some people live with it in a far deeper, rigid, tragic equation. >> it's moving faster because of the technology and communications. and it took 100 years for women to get the vote, and i think we're about halfway through the 50 -- the 50-year mark offemini. it's also seein

and in san francisco, msnbc contributor and president of voter latino, maria teresa kumar. troubles with the affordable care act website go beyond being parroted on "saturday night live." health sites woes could dissuade vital enrollee, the young and healthy. they write in its worst iteration, it could lead to a death spiral on falling enrollment and climbing prices. the president, dana, is sending his cabinet on the road. about you how much time is there to turn the tide before what have been glitches on the website become a real enrollment problem, do you think? >> well, nobody knows for sure. the administration has set itself a target of the end of next month. i mean, people generally tend to say it's within a four to eight-week period. you know, it's way too early to be talking about a death spiral. but if you don't get the young and the healthy signing up, and already they've had to postpone the penalties for not signing up. if you don't get those people signing up, all you're going to get is the older and the sicker signing up. and then it's just not going to be econo

joining me now, jared bernstein, senior fellow at the center on budget and policy priorities and maria teresahumar. thank you for joining me. >> you're welcome. >> starting with you, jared, we are coming up to the next round and, again, we are going to hear the same rhetoric from the conservatives. deficit reduction and, of course, yet again, they will not take into account the fact that where we are now in 2013 is not where we were in 2009. the president actually has made substantial progress on deficit reduction. he had -- health care costs are going down. we can have a different kind of conversation than the paul ryan budget could portend but, no. we'll hear the same rhetoric it seems. >> yeah. i agree with everything you just said except for health care costs are rising more slowly and not going down. we are generating savings there. look. when we're having this argument on this turf it is on conservative or republican turf. in the following sense. these guys love to govern by crisis so first it was the crisis of obama care. that was a loser for them. guess what? now it's back to the cris

faith-based and community initiatives office, also served as legal advisor for the late mother teresa. ave maria is determined to stay a course from which its president says other catholic institutions have strayed. >> in an age where modernity has attacked the whole idea of objective truth and the whole relativism that you see that's pervasive in our culture, i guess this university's not going to be here to be popular. it's not here to try to please everyone. it's here to try to be true to itself and its own catholic identity. >> georgetown university, renowned for its academic excellence, has a different view of its catholic identity. all students, though only half of the 7,000 undergraduates are catholic, are required to take two theology and two philosophy courses. >> lord, you are the giver of all good gifts. lord, have mercy. >> though students are not required to go to mass, there are many to choose from, and catholic priests live in each dorm acting as mentors and friends. but georgetown, which boasts the largest campus ministry in the world, also fiercely champions unfettered dialogue.

family chapel, dedicated to 16th-century spanish mystic saint teresa of avila, which bernini created about 1650 in the church of santa mariaella vittoria in rome. our eyes are met by those of the cardinal patron who looks out from among his ancestors and accompanies the visitor down the nave to view the chapel from the center of the crossing. there we are confronted with a spectacle of truly cosmic proportions. in the pavement before the altar, gesticulating skeletons rise from the lower depths to face their maker at the end of time. the vault of the chapel has scenes from teresa's life. bernini makes a chorus of winged, cloud-borne angels-- singing, playing instruments, and strewing flowers-- seem to filter through the solid vault, filling the chapel with their fragrant hymns ofraise d celebration. at the sides, the members of the cornaro family appear in balconies with architectural backgrounds whose perspectives merge with that of the church. their space becomes indistinguishable from ours. they consider, study, discuss, describe, indicate, and thereby bear witness to a mysterious event in which they participate, encour
