matt go ahead. >> thanks. >> it's hard for me to defend jaime diamond, i'm not going to do that. but i would say this, look, if democrats care so much and liberals care so much about extending unemployment benefits and raising the minimum wage, why not fight for it? we passed a ryan murray budget deal a couple weeks ago. democrats, if they cared so much about it, they could have fought for it. if they want to extend unemployme unemployment benefits, find the money. republicans will go for it if it's paid for. they don't want to extend it without having revenue. it's easy to beat up on republicans and conservatives and cast them as bad santa's and scrooge. if they cared so much about it, they should have fought for it during the budget deal. >> good point. >> see you in a bit. still ahead, graham nash opens up about his rock 'n' roll life. we'll be back with more "morning joe."

because matt and had i been pushing hard to run this, and eventually it eventually popped. reason why we shouldn't run this, for them to say, well it col put him in harm's way, first of all, the government can't demonstrate he's alive or that he's dead. he's already in harm's way. and people in the intelligence community conceded to us that the iranians most likely knew and the family's lawyer is also saying this. the iranians most likely knew that he worked for the cia. so it's counterintuitive to think the iranians were simply going to execute him because he worked for the cia. it would give them more leverage. bob levinson becomes more important. >> i want to get to the family in just a minute. given your experience and the experts you've spoken with, would it be the case there would be silence like this for three years if he was still alive? >> it's very unusual. people in the intelligence community felt that there was a moment for a deal to be done, it's when wht family received the video in november of 2002. they're not even sure when that video was made, by the way.
