michael steele, former rnc chairman. jess mcintosh, and josh barro of the very agust "new york times." let's hear it for our players. we used cutting age coin flip technology to determine the first pick. joy reid gets the first pick. >> i didn't realize it would be a live draft, so i spent a long time ranking the likelihood of running for the candidates, i have now gone back and rated the random numbers. >> the thing you didn't realize is that in an obama socialist america we don't award points by effort, it is randomly distributed by the state. >> i think we should all get those little mini boats. >> michael steele, this is a little like being rnc chairman. >> it is a lot like it as a matter of fact, i'm thinking kristine o'donnell could be my candidate in 2010. >> someone more or lets -- this is a nominee, go out and fight for her. i want to know why you were laughing when you introduced me as rnc chairman. >> i think it is funny that someone who ran important things in the government is with us. >> that's what happens

a speech tonight is not going to change that. >> michael steele what is the endgame here?use i'm thinking just in terms of his legacy. and he's exposed himself so much now where if he backs out now, it looks like this was a guy who was desperate to win the presidency, his party told him, no, go back to the sidelines, that's humiliating. if you stay in the water, you stuck your toe in this much he could go and win it, but potentially you run a third time and lose that's the legacy. what's the endgame here? >> the endgame is more the latter than the former. while i'm not in this full-throated race to win the presidency there's been enough signs and the formation by activists and certain supporters to get the momentum going in that direction. so i think this is going to be a -- i think this is as much about that as it is jeb bush. that's why you see mitt romney now moving more aggressively in this direction because of some of the history between the two families and those two in particular. so there are a whole lot of things here for him to play out, but i think the risks are

michael steel says one does.recedented leveling of spending in the discretionary budget. and it's largely been because the budget control act that happened after the debt ceiling standoff in 2011. it's an anomaly. it's not like republicans as an historical matter have restrained the growth of spending. they didn't under george w. bush or rnd reagan. with the republicans in control we'll start to see spending gup again. what is your thought? >> it's an interesting irony. whether it's the doc fix, which increases reimbursements that's more federal spending. or repealing the medical device tax which, again, that tax decreases revenue. that's going to increase spending. or getting rid of the medicare cuts everybody says they hate. those increase the deficit by increasing the cost the price tag of obamacare. that's not too far fetched. >> what do you think? this is the year the budget control act, that that structure gets scrapped. >> i don't think they'll go that far because 2016. guys like ted cruz this is a perfect

carol lee of the wall street journal and michael steel, former chairman of the republican national committee. welcome to sunday. it's "meet the press." >> good morning. the shock waves of the paris terror attacks continue to be felt particularly in europe. muslims angry at "charlie hebdo" have taken to the streets across the world, churches torched and three people killed in the former french colony. there have also been anti-terror raids across europe and a number of countries including belgium. and my exclusive interview with the new editor of "charlie hebdo." >> reporter: all over europe police and counter terrorism officers have been raiding homes, making arrests and in one address in belgium exchanging heavy fire with suspected trysts who -- terrorists who were just about ready to launch an attack. they are being pulled in all at once in the wake of the terror attacks in paris. europe is stepping up its efforts to stop home grown terrorists and continuing to send jets to isis targets. the french parliament broke into a spontaneous national anthem. the fact is the u.s. is doing most of t

ian bremer and michael steele still with us.sor at rice university, douglas brinkley. he's the co-editor of the book "the nixon tapes." >> how are you doing? >> wonderful. thanks for having me. >> what are you work og snn. >> i'm doing a booing called "rightful heritage on franklin d. roosevelt" and the dust bowl that occurred and which the federal government did to arrest mainly planting of 2 billion trees with the conservation core in america and on the birth of the modern law -- >> he's just not doing anything. >> i'm working hard on fdr. you can't beat fdr. >> idle hands are -- what? >> exactly. >> i saw -- i have been sick for the last two weeks. >> oh, my god. >> i actually -- and i never fun of a tv. it's one of the great ironies except when i'm on. i saw ken burns documentary on "the rest voltoosevelts" again. it is second time. it is remarkable what those two men did. >> nothing like them. i mean when you look at fra franklin -- talk about executive orders with barack obama, the numbers are so small. fdr did over 3,000

i'm coming at you michael steel.k about the issue of tone because i've been reading the back and forth between writers online like those online and others that are going back and forth saying that the president needs to come out and set this positive tone. and mcconnell and the senate majority leader and his question of tone now and back then. >> tonight is a big moment for the president. and for our country. the tone he strikes and the issues he highlights will tell us a lot about what to expect in his presidency's final act. >> our top priority over the next few years should be to deny president obama a second term. >> why is it that the gop wants this bipartisan tone only when they are in power and only from the president, but they haven't operated that way for the last six years. >> they haven't. but that is the way it works. when you are the out-party you try to find the advantage and set this expectation bar that you then go back and undermine one way or the other. that is what will happen. the fact is the pres

. >> michael steel, your party, there's a big religious core to your party. >> very much so. >> if that publication for over here he's basically saying he would be totally mocking anybody that uses religion in politics. >> it would be a real problem. a lot of the grass roots evangelicals out there with respect to the sense of attack on them personally. it's a real balancing act between what both of you just said that feeling of expression and wanting to be free to do that and then the personal feeling i have when you express. i think a lot of evangelicals in this country would rise up and make a lot of noise. there would be a lot of protests against a publication like that. >> congress has one take and they want to see, i think, a more aggressive -- particularly republicans in congress. the president seems to be wanting to walk a line here. >> yeah. there's a couple things. it's interesting to see the white house's response to this particular new cover of "charlie hebdo." and when the original cartoons had come out, they were very critical about them doing that. and now you see the whit

joining me now, h e msnbc contributor and former rnc chairman and msnbc contributor, michael steel. michael, i will begin with you. your predictions for this congress? i just want to be clear. we're holding everyone to these. if you're wrong, you're going to be humiliated and played on a con stant loop. >> you mean worse than being rnc chairman? can et get any harder? >> exactly. >> no, let me tell you, i think that what you're going to see is starting out of the gate this week, a lot of aggressive push on xl pipeline. you're going to see trade loej slags. you may be seeing some regulatory reform legislation that a flum beryl of folks in the white house are not interested in, but this is going to be an early push. that's going to try to set the tone for technologyists. >> and i think, michael, we were sort of in contact with all of you guys earlier. there's some medical device taxes and fast track trade stories which is really about american democracy. i actually think the fast track is going to be the most interesting debate. elizabeth warren starts to talk about fast track authorit

. >> joining me is michael steele. i'm fascinated by what's happening. >> you and me both. >> romney before this campaign, it's like he will be with occupy wall street. no, it just seems for some reason, i can't quite figure out if it was the last jobs data we got from the bureau of labor statistics where all of the sudden the consensus on both parties is that the main economic issue is wage stagnation. the fact that people have not seen a raise, all of this good economic news is not being realized in people's paychecks, and now it has become the focus. am i right about that? >> yes, lefties like yourself and conservatives like myself going back to the days of a jack kemp. so now, after this clear shift in the economy, it is more glaringly true that we have this gap between the wealthiest and the poor are in a whole nother plane of concern. if you get in a rom and start talking tax reform, this is reform that will be designed not by the poor and the middle class, but reform designed by washington lobbyists and special

. >> joining me now is former bush speech writer david frum and michael steele. what does it tell us? what lesson can we glean from the five rebuttals last evening? >> iphone video technology is a powerful thing. i am amazed that there are only five rebuttals. the day is going to come when we're going to push back open up our democracy and the 310 million rebuttals within minutes. >> does that not dilute the message? i would also say substantively what did you make of them on whole? >> these messages, these responses, are always weak. i think it's being recognized as kind of a graveyard of political ambition to do them. they don't work. the contrast between the president with all the grandeur of that office and the person who is called on to deliver a response is just not going to work. maybe this diffusion of them is a way the opposition party to say, you know what? we need a different way to respond to this incredibly symbolic moment of the president addressing the country. >> i agree. >> michael steele is the republican party going to learn that lesson soon of

and michael steele. and the huffington post sabrina siddiqui.t to ask sabrina, has this got legs, as we say in journalism? will we be talking about this until scalise leaves? >> absolutely. i think there's palpable concern in the republican caucus that this problem isn't going to go away, especially with the amount of focus on his background. you have reporters looking into it, democratic operatives looking into it. there's always potential they could dig up more. talking to some republicans today on capitol hill, they're concerned that there could be more information that comes out about his association with the white supremacist group as well as the fact that his job is, as you said, to raise money, and they don't think -- >> how do you go to donors, mr. chairman, asking them for money if this guy has neo-nazi connections, that he's worked with holocaust deniers? how do you do it? >> you go very carefully.

joining mess is former rnc chair michael steele, and former dnc chair ed rendell, both of msnbc politicalnalysts. i want to start with governor rendell. how can mitt romney do this complete change from who le is, for a guy who was a intel, who know is a bobby kennedy kind of guy, i don't get it. it seems like a fast switch for me. >> it's a difficult switch, but i think jeb bush sort of set the tone. if you read what he's been talking about, he's taking a page out of the play book of george w. bush, and actually, chris, rick santorum starteded this, when he said republicans have to care more about people who are disadvantaged and people who are who are poor. i think they're getting it. i would be cynical enough to suggest, and i think michael might disagree with me, is they're not really care about people who are poor, but they realize that's how to get moderate and independent voters -- can it work? i'm not sure. it's a tough sell. i think jeb bush probably has a better chance to make that work than governor romney does, but you've got bush, romney, christie, carving up the establishment

michael steele former chair of the rnc. i haven't had chance to give you a broad brush. u want to start, michael. this speech i thought he was up. >> oh yeah. >> i think being up is like in our business just communicating at night. if you're down people know that too. he wasn't tired. he had good sleep. he looks healthy. sheem he seems happy. >> he was. for this president he's feeling freed. he's lifting burdens off of his shoulders. >> is this a janice joplin kind of freedom? >> it is. it's almost coming full circle from 2008 particularly when he puts in a line i said at one point this would be a red, white and blue america. he's bringing that back. i think he wants to move into his own space and that includes on trade issues for example, he knows that will upset democrats. okay. deal with it. this will be interesting to watch with the congress in the senate. the republicans, i think, are actually in a good position too. because now they have an opportunity to go out and lay out some. >> back to my old ronald reagan jab here. you can see the deals on the table. do someth
