mr. priebus chose to announce his plan to sensor other networks. but aside from this, mr. s is also exposing the level of his unmitigated ignorance because he seems to think that dramas and documentaries are always complementary. now, if you'll forgive me for being self rev ngsal for a minute, i myself have made a few landmark documentaries and the record speaks for itself, and they were not entirely complimentary. of course, what mr. priebus knows about film making could be written on the back of a postage stamp along with the apostles creed, yes he still has the audacity to cast aspergzs on filmmakers who going about their duties with diligence and integrity. but the real problem for mr. priebus is neither a drama or a documentary, but the abject caliber of the candidates witnessed in the debate last year. we saw individuals like rick perry, who was so well prepared for government, he couldn't even remember which departments he wanted to close. we witnessed the spectacle of a republican nominee, apparently bowing at the feet of racist bigotry because somehow mitt romney t

mr. priebus said she is making that he is making her look much more important. thought that was very apt. >> i would say they kick it over to cable. >> kelly: speaking of being in a squeeze. remarks from oprah winfrey this week. >> it's so easy during this time trayvon martin paralleled. in my mind, same thing, but you can get stuck in that and not allow yourself to move forward and see how far we've come. >> kelly: oprah winfrey making her first comment about the shooting equating the tragedy to the brutal murder of 14-year-old emmett at the age of 14 in august of 1955. did she go too far with this? >> what she was reflecting what many african-americans feel. if she hadn't added the second part, if she didn't add how far car we've come but it was a sentiment she was expressing. >> just there is an insistence to make something about race that many people don't feel it's about race. i think it's unnecessary i think you can call for a coming together. you can condemn violence whatever your race may be and not make race a divisive issue. >> you can call for coming

mr. priebus wants to do again. not only are we going to not attend or not support these networks, but also keep in mind we're going to penalize you, we're going to penalize you, republican candidates -- bill: because they don't like it. officially on august 7, 2013, the world is upside down because webb agrees with holder, and maureen dowd disagrees with both of you. the chairman of the national committee has a point. clever film makers can offer up delicious souffles of propaganda and storytelling putting a new imprint on the historical record. dave, regardless of the argument you just offered, politics is equal share as well. >> yeah, it is, bill, and, look, i get part of the political calculus going out ahead of this. what i don't see is the overall value in it and, frankly, to the rnc which has lots of money -- and, by the way, we're not a monolistic bloc of a party -- monolithic bloc of a party. they have the money to tell the truth about hillary clinton. we can tell about whitewater -- bill: do you think you'

mr. priebus believes now is the time to call out media bias. that's why they're taking this move and making this vote happen today. jon? jon: if they have it within the confines of our show, in the next couple of hours, get back to us. molly line, thank you. >> reporter: absolutely, thanks. >> another injury on the set of the broadway show, "spider-man," after the dark. a actor was rushed to a hospital with serious leg injury. firefighters say his leg got caught in a piece of equipment. the show was stopped. theatergoers were sent home this. is latest of accidents in actors in the stunt-heavy production hurt or hospitalized. jon: a german tourist lucky to be alive after surviving a shark a attack. she was snorkeling 50-yards offshore maui with the shark bit her left arm, he is severing it below the shoulder. she was taken to the hospital. officials reopened the beach after finding no sign of that shark. >> the battle over obamacare could be closer to a showdown than you might think. how one key republican wants to defund the health care law des

mr. priebus decided the last campaign with a lot of debates was not good for his party, that people didn't like what they saw. but this time around, i would think a lot of these new candidates would want to be talking to a larger audience. >> yeah. >> certainly chris christie if he were to run is not going to abide by a ditch cnn and ditch nbc strategy. so it's crazy. but as you said, there is no downside for him right now. >> some in the republican party don't see the media as just liberal, but as a group that conspires with the white house against republicans. this is rand paul during an interview yesterday on geraldo rivera's radio program. >> well, you know, you can look back to the last primary season, and you wonder whether this was collusion between some reporters. you know, stephanopoulos asks an obscure question about griswald and birth control when no republicans were bringing up anything about trying to have any limits on birth control. so you wonder if there was a concerted option between a democrat operative. >> well, are you alleging that george stephanopoulos was a democrat

mr. priebus, did you think we would ignore your a-list hypocrisy? nice try, but we got you.nd that's a wrap.

mr. priebus has.d be better served spending his time to tell his party getting something done for the country. >> the question has been raised. why don't they do a couple of pieces on, say, chris christie? isn't he an interesting and compelling figure? >> well, chris christie has had a couple of pieces and not necessarily by television but the cover story on "time" magazine. i don't see the democrats protesting at the time and i thought that was pretty much of a buff piece but we don't know. look. in the end, respect the voters. no voter is going to decide the vote for or against hillary clinton based on some film that shown on an entertainment channel. let's respect the voters. they are not dumb. we have a tendency to denigrate the intelligence of the voters and by and large they get it right. >> michael, another take on this is republicans really are that scared of hillary clinton. a recent poll says she is right behind chris christie. that is this feeling thermometers. but do you really think, do y

mr. priebus decided the last long campaign with a lot of debates was not good for his party, people didn't like what they saw. this time around, i would think a lot of new candidates would want to be talking to a larger audience, certainly chris christie if he were to run would not abide by a ditch cnn or ditch nbc strategy. >> some people in the party don't see the media as just liberal, but as a group that com spires with the white house. this is rand paul during an interview yesterday on geraldo rivera's radio program. >> you know, you can look back to the last primary season and wonder whether there was collusion between some reporters. when no republicans were bringing up anything about trying to have any limits on birth control. so you wonder if there was a concerted action between a former democratic operative and basically the president's campaign -- >> well, are you alleges that george stephanopoulos was a democrat plant during the debate? >> i'm saying it makes you wonder. he's also said publicly he has frequent correspondence with his friends who are still involved with the whit

mr. priebus made a forceful case to make sure that they get what they want, which is no promotion of hillaryon before these movies. listen. >> we're done putting up with this nonsense. there are plenty of other news outlets. [applause] we'll still reach voters, maybe more voters. but cnn and nbc anchors will just have to watch on their competitors' networks. >> cnn and nbc have said that the critics, these republicans should hold judgment until they get a little bit more further down the road with the production because, in both cases they haven't even begun the scripts. what priebus wants to do and what republicans today do try to control how many debates there will be. when they will be held and potentially hot moderators will be. all of those have essentially been by the broadcast and sometimes with partners at the local level whether it's state republicans or others involved in the political process. the idea that the political parties themselves would be making this judgment is a first time attempt and still very much up in the airs to whether or not the rnc will get anywhere with any o

mr. priebus asked you to sit down with him so he could find a way to repair relations with minority groups>> it's interesting, i can tell you, if you do the eye test, pr irk ebus, he's sincere and wants the republican party to reach out to african-americans, he wants to do a long-term plan, hiring people within the black community to reach out and talk about what the gop has to offer. the problem is, the rest of his party outside of that room probably disagrees with almost everything he was trying to do, but i think he and most of the people there were very sincere. >> so, his biggest problem is members of the republican party? >> exactly. a perfect example is, representative from wisconsin said yesterday, got in front of this entire crowd of people and said, the number one priority of the republican party needs to be replacing section four of the voting rights act, and people in the room cheered. yet when we got into the room later on and talked to pundits and journalists, many said they would go to war with him over that. so that's the sort of, you know, schizophrenia they've got in the

let's listen to what reince priebus had to say. >> so mr.resident, if you want to shut the government down because you want to continue to fund this monstrosity that you admitted is half broken, then go ahead. the fact that it is on the republican party i think it's been from the democratic party it might not be adopting, i don't know why you're adopting that spin. >> michael: is anybody going to believe if this government shuts down that it's not the fault of the republicans. >> the president is begging the republicans to go down this run. this is a no-win position for the republican party but for the rabid base that they do the politicking from. the president is saying, please do this. shut down the government. take heal care away from kids, seniors and take all the good things away from obamacare and shut the government down while you're doing t go ahead. >> michael: it's one of those situations where i can't see it being anything but a problem for the republicans. but again, they put themselves in places like that all the time. ben, we t

rnc chairman reince priebus or prince reibus is saying dumb things. >> mr.esident if you want to shut the government down because you want to fund the monstrosity that you admitted is half broken, then go ahead. i'm going to boycott the program that puts documents on the air. >> michael: unbelievable. today an actual obamacare news, they announced they're eliminating a cap-limits pocket expenses until 2015. utah senator mark lee part of the tea party part of lee, paul, and cruz, was not impressed. he reissued a statement that doubled down on his threat: >> michael: i love how he's trying to protect americans. he went one step further calling the announcement a shameful political move. senator lee, you certainly know about desperation and shame. but blake ferren raises you one attack. >> if we were to the president tomorrow-- >> michael: let's review. the new republican agenda includes shutting down the federal government. boycotting major news oceans and impeaching the president, and oh, yeah, don't forget locking down the border, and insulting minorities an
