i can nicole wallace is like i am not saying anything. i am not allowed to say those things. whoopi can say those things. not me. i am greek. the district attorney agreed with her. the man, jorge pena, has been cleared criminally while the woman who hit him was charged with felony assault. pena told the post what i saw the blood i couldn't take it. she attacked me like a man which once again proves -- >> whoopi was right. >> was whap pea right? whoopi right? >> this is a tough one to comment on. all i know is show the video and clipped out the first part is this white guy who puts on earphones and just walks away like he does president know what -- doesn't know what is happening. that totally would have been me. >> i would have been off the trine already. >> i have never seen white people move so fast in my life. look at that. >> is that jacket going to discourage kids from playing pool? >> i don't know. >> or asking about their future. >> it is giving the magic 8 ball a run for its money there. i don't know what it meant. i have no idea. >> was whoopi right? >> whoopi is alm

bush nicole wallace. and associate professor at columbia university school of international and public affairs dorian warren and associate editor of "the washington post" and msnbc political analyst eugene robinson. the headlines today very clear. no charges on the front page of "usa today." the "new york post" streets of rage. from the "daily news," americale holds its breath. from the "new york times," grand jury chooses not to indict officer. and "wall street journal" officer not charged in killing. there's so much to talk about. unfortunately, i think the first thing that we would, i would at least want to know is why the hell, why the hell did they release this information the way they did. why did they have this build up, this slow crescendo, this slow crescendo to say we'll be announcing at 9:00. most people knew how this was going to come down. just given sort of what local authorities have been suggesting before and all the calls for calm. and then to announce i want at 9:00 at night. >> the time

joining us now is nicole wallace, now a co-host of "the view".to see you. >> thanks for having me. thanks for having more e me >> do you dispute my premise? >> no, let me tell you a couple things that are different. president obama controlled obviously the senate and the white house. he could have done this with the congress when his party controlled all three. >> but the republicans did filibuster it in the senate. >> the republicans did submit a senate bill. and the house should have taken it out. the house republicans should have taken it up. they supported a more piecemeal approach, which i'm not a fan of. >> but he said he would be happy to do a piecemeal approach. and they never brought one up. >> and they should have. i'm out of step with the current republican party. i still stand with the president i worked for. i worked on that speech. and i remember we had a hard time getting network time, too. i think we actually moved it around a bit to work with some football games. >> always do. so i want to say we were probably a little more flexi

joining us now is nicole wallace, now a co-host of "the view". it's great to see you.y premise? >> no, let me tell you a couple things that are digit e different. president obama controlled obviously the senate and the white house. and the house should have taken it out. they supported a more piecemeal approach, which i'm not a fan of. >> but he said he would be happy to do a piecemeal approach. >> and they should have. i'm out of step with the current republican party. i worked on that speech. and i remember we had a hard time getting network time, too. i think we actually moved it around a bit to work with some football games. >> always do. so i want to say we were probably a little more flexible with the networks. that's why we got a little more air time. but what we pushed had the support of senator kennedy and mccain. there was also public support for it. you cannot ignore the fact -- there's actually some estimates that put in about 17 million people who are either here illegally or vast amount os of people here with exz pyred visas. so anyone in our party that s

i want to play with nicolle wallace, herself a republican, had to say on rachel maddow's show about thisviously, the white house, the senate and the house. and he could have done this with the congress when his party controlled all three -- >> the republicans did filibuster it in the senate. >> the republicans all voted for a senate bill. there is a senate bill with bipartisan support. the house should have taken it up. >> she went on to say that the republican party does notment to be the party that stands against unifying families. like, that was the part where she was essentially saying republicans, you know, tried to do it in the senate. but she went on to say, you know, the party does not want to stand for breaking up families. isn't that going to be a difficult argument within the republican party? >> sure. especially coming into the primary season because now all the 2016 candidate, the leader contenders in the gop, have to balance the issues -- the competing interests of their conservative base, which is very against any so-called amnesty, and then a little further to the general

bush and co-host of "the view," nicole wallace. and in washington, sam stein.nd white house correspondent for the "wall street journal" carol leigh. >> i'm looking at these headlines, after shocks of tuesday. you got the "boston globe," a republican governor in boston. again. "the washington post," you will look at all of the voice, all the new voices that are coming to washington, d.c. the president saying i hear you. here's the interesting thing. average age of the people that won going to senate, 16 years younger than the people they replaced. this is a much younger u.s. state senate. >> a lot more women. president obama appears to be heading towards a showdown with the soon to be republican-led senate. he's promising to work with republicans in congress after the gop regained control of the senate and expanded its margin of power in the house. but at the same time he says there's no reason to change his policies because of the mid-term results and he's vowing to still take executive action on immigration reform. the speech led politico to describe president

nicole wallace weighed in and tore people at her own network to shreds and we would do this on the same. it's a question of temperament if the guy looks at us and then says, well, geez, insufficiently loyal. >> i think you have to expect the questions. we asked them. he was really angry that we asked them. >> your number is low. >> jim? >> i think he has way too many liabilities to even be considered one of the top tier republican candidates. i agree with al on most things in life but i don't think he's one of the most compelling republicans that will jump into the race. there are other republican governors with better economic records that will make a more compelling argument than he can. rand paul as being unorthodox and doing things we don't expect in politics is an intriguing character. ted cruz will be a powerful force as a voice of the right and much more articulate than some of the candidates we saw last time around. i agree with most of the folks on the panel that there is so many liabilities that he brings to the national stage that outside of a small group of big donors in new
