former pennsylvania governor and former democratic chair ed rendell and former republican chair michael steel. welcome all. michael, that's the way they play in kentucky. they roll pretty tough. >> they roll hard. i've had the privilege of speaking there twice. and, trust me, it's a privilege. it is the rawest and the bare knucklest politics you can find. there's booing and catcalling nall good fun but there's some clear messages in lines being drawn there. you saw, i thought, with allison grimes someone who is prepared to stand on the stage toe-to-toe with the minority leader, mitch mcconnell. and mcconnell, you know, some said he seemed a little timid and -- i disagree. mcconnell was himself. he was in his element and he showed that he's ready for this fight over the next few weeks going into the fall. so we're off and running, andrea. this is going to be a real barn burner, i think, in kentucky. >> ed rendell, allison grimes has the clintons behind her. it's still tough unseat a republican leader in, you know, in kentucky. what are the chances that she's going to actually pull this off? >>

joining me now is the managing editor of bloomberg politics mark halperin and michael steele.t do you make of maggie's assessment that clinton herself is not a great politician, she is gaffe-prone. was this a calculated comment or was this an aside that went horribly wrong? >> i don't think it was calculated. it was a little buiit of her violating the role don't say stupid stuff. president obama's a record on foreign policy, is his syria policy a success? he faced his own hard choices in syria. he can't call the policy a success. i think she was speaking what a lot of foreign policy elites think about that policy and i think the other critique she made and i'm going to the substance of what she said because i think she was talking to a serious reporter like je jeffrey goldberg just speaking what she believes. she said this current administration does not seem to have a big strategic vision on how to deal with all these hot spots. you can to a -- >> council on foreign relations did not collectively serve as the president's secretary of state not that long ago and was presumably

joining me now, former rnc chair, michael steele and president and ceo of national urban league, markl. we were talking about the segment began and you don't believe this is an issue of -- maybe i should let you explain. how much of an issue do you think the timing is? >> timing of municipal elections have always been sort of off-year type elections. first off, we're focusing on the party affiliation of the mayor. these are nonpartisan elections, he ran as a nonpartisan. that's really not an issue as well. >> party rate -- party what party you're in is not even on the ballot. >> that's right. >> in an effort to get away from partisan politics. >> the dynamics in this in a county is different than you see in a presidential cycle. a lot of municipalities as you noted, put these in the off years because they didn't want to get wrapped up into the national conversation. so turnout just like in an off-year election is typically lower than when you compare them to a presidential cycle, just by nature of the kind of election they are. they are voting for a county council or school board and

joining me now joan walsh and michael steele of the republican national committee. both are msnbc political analysts. joan, i will start with you. listen, we have a statement today. i think hillary's spokesman saying she plans to hug it out with president obama as the media blows it up. maybe i believe that. then i see the tweet from david axelrod and i say, no, she got under their skin in a real way. >> she did. i would like to be there to see them hug it out. i don't think i'm invited. i wrote a piece that was critical of secretary clinton. she went too far in a couple of statements substantively. i believe she's more of an interventionist than i would like to see in the democratic candidate. i think it's possible to exaggerate what she did here. there is almost nothing new in the interview. she's on the record in her book and her book tour as saying i wanted to arm the moderate syrian rebels. i wanted more soldiers going to afghanistan for the later surge. i wanted them to stay longer. i was very skeptical of pushing mubarak out of egypt. i didn't see a secular o

also michael steele, my friend, former chairman of the republican national committee.nly chairman of the republican national committee i have as a friend. we don't have much time tonight. we're doing a lot. take a couple of minutes. then michael's thoughts and feelings. >> there is something despab stabilizing about being an african-american in this country now. particularly being a black man knowing there is something intrinsic about who you are that makes people fear you, have malice toward you. maybe if the situation is in the wrong place, kill you. we are thinking of jordan davis, eric garner going back to emmitt till. the names and faces are running through our heads. we are realizing maybe we don't matter. maybe our lives don't matter. that makes people angry, fearful. it produce it is rage you are seeing now in ferguson. that's not justifying the rage. we have to understand where it comes from. black people are wondering, do our lives matter to oh this country? >> that's absolutely right. a lot of it hases to do with the fact that there is an attitude that's per

joining me thousand is roger simon from politico and michael steele, former rnc chairman.trying to think like a democrat for a minute. >> okay. >> roger, to your piece, i don't know how you separate yourself from a member of your party who has been president for years without looking like a rat jumping from a ship. it didn't help al gore, not that he's a rat. he tried to separate himself from bill clinton after monica and that mess in a way that hurt him. he couldn't take advantage of the good economy. i never saw it done well except when george, sr., ran riding off a popular president, reagan. how do you separate yourself from an unpopular president and not look like a rat? >> if looking like a rat will get you to the oval oh fis, you look like a rat. hillary's problem is that president obama currently has low approval ratings. if republicans take both houses of congress in november, which they might, the rest of his second term probably won't amount to much. how is she going to run as being obama's third term. i'm not sure obama wants a third term if he could have one. h
