i'm shocked president obama didn't see this coming. they both had parties mutually assured destruction. see seeing the shutdown weak for the republicans and the debt ceiling for the president. i'm surprised they're backed in this corner. john boehner before his base conceived he had caved somehow. president obama said no party has a monopoly on good ideas. what are your good ideas? he went on and on. i'm not your to the american electorate he actually gave them anything to hang their hat on besides just saying, do what i want, republicans, i didn't hear any ideas from him. all john boehner wants is something, something he can go back to republicans and say, i got this. president obama could end this right now. he could make a concession. he could negotiate like most presidents do. he won't. i think it's unwise. >> saying he's in a strong position and told them ad nauseam he is not going to negotiate. that changed a little bit today. why do you think that is? >> i think i agree with eric, obama has been saying this all along, he wants th

it's the stunning insult to president obama. and we're learning more from behind the scenes today. >>> plus the republicans on the ropes. president obama's planning something big outside of washington. and a cash reward for this guy. [ yelling ] >> is this justice or injustice? more on the new ruling. you make the call. >>> and friend or foe, i want to know. reply al is ahead. how are things with the new guy? all we do is go out to dinner. that's it? i mean, he picks up the tab every time, which is great...what? he's using you. he probably has a citi thankyou card and gets 2x the points at restaurants. so he's just racking up points with me. some people... ugh! no, i've got it. the citi thankyou preferred card. now earn 2x the points on dining out and entertainment, with no annual fee.to apply, go to citi.com/thankyoucards he was a matted messiley in a small cage. ng day. so that was our first task, was getting him to wellness. without angie's list, i don't know if we could have found all the services we needed for our riley. fro

earlier this week he labeled president obama an extremist. day he called into the conservative hue hewlett radio show and made pretty outrageous statements, i think, about the president and hillary clinton. outrageous even for dick cheney. here he is taking hillary clinton completely out of context over what else, benghazi. >> i think the benghazi thing is one of the great -- it's not just embarrassment, it's a tragedy because we lost four people that night. but what i always recall is her testimony saying what difference does it make. and the fact of the matter is it makes a huge difference. she clearly wasn't hands on and now she doesn't want to be hands on. and she's doing everything she can to avoid responsibility for what clearly fell into her baliwick. >> i hope you caught that. he implies that hillary clinton was talking about the four americans being dead including chris stevens. when she said what difference does it make. in fact, in those words she was referring to republican attacks on the talking pints points used by susan rice aft

we had a case of president obama communicating to prime minister erdogan in turkey. turkey is a strategic ally. they have a deep relationship with the united states. a strategic relationship. so, we had been advocating for some time that president obama speak directly with prime minister erdogan. they had a bilateral meeting back in may. i think the day before that took place, the news about the -- seizure of the ap phone records broke. i have no idea if that was on the agenda. if president obama had raised that, i think -- the same sort of thing happened with the nsa surveillance and the stated policies that president obama had articulated, challenging china on its government- orchestrated hacking surveillance program.

in fact if there's a good reason not to pass this common sense reform, i haven't heard it. >> president obama pushing his plan for immigration reform. >>> and congressional grilling on the problems with the president's healthcare website. >>> and trying to get to the bottom of the allegations that the u.s.

this time against president obama. e president after he said this in an interview with the associated press over the weekend. quote, i've got to say if i were the owner of that team and i knew that there was a name of my team even if it had a storied history that was offending a sizeable group of people, i would think about changing it, unquote. lanny davis, former special counsel to president clinton responded on the team's behalf by saying the name is meant as an honor, not disparagement. nfl owners are here in d.c. today for their fall meetings but the league reportedly passed on a sit-down with a native american group that is leading the charge to change the name. the two sides are scheduled to meet in late november. joining me now is ray halbrenner, an indian nation representative and vocal leader against the redskins name. sir, thanks so much for being here. first, your reaction to president obama's words about possibly changing the name, if he were the owner. >> well, we were certainly gratified with the presiden

but this weekend president obama had enough. ans to quit rooting for his health care law to fail. it's a theme that former president bill clinton picked up on today. >> when president bush passed the medicare program for seniors, it wasn't paid for and it was more unpopular than the health care bill was and there were horrible computer problems when it was implemented. the people that voted for it and the people that voted against it said it's the law of the land, let's make the best of it. they weren't rooting for america to fail. >> you can disagree with a law, but you do what's best for your constituents. that's not what we're seeing from the gop. and every now and then the right wing politicians and pundits actually say it. >> of course i want obama care to fail. because if it doesn't fail, it will just further entangle american society with the government that is not up to this. >> of course you want obama care to fail? well, of course. this is what's wrong with the republican party. and of course the american people are fed

he didn't return president obama's phone call, et cetera. esident obama given up entirely on wanting to negotiate or feeling he can negotiate with republicans on the house? >> well, i think that the white house has been absolutely clear that in regular order, in a budget process, they are happy to negotiate. but what we can't do is manufacture a series of crises that put the middle class at risk and that put our economy at risk. what republicans have done again and again is gin up these crises, take a look at the 800,000 people out of work. take a look at the impact on the market, and we are two weeks away from not meeting our financial obligations. what kind of message will that send to the world? >> what i find so amazing about that response is regular order, how long did it take the democrats to ever pass a budget? the point is this president has actually been unwilling to negotiate during regular order about a whole set of things. >> republicans have passed a budget. >> in march. >> denials of congress. republicans will say that's because

nuwaz, we're watching president obama meet with pakistani prime minister sharif. he is very opposed to the drone strikes, verbally out loud against them. what happens behind closed doors when these men meet versus what happens in public. >> i think reality sets in. i think it's really aimed at domestic audiences in pakistan. there has not been a substantive discussion of drones as far as i know by this government. there has been no u.s. ambassador in the united states from pakistan since the government took over. but prime minister sharif came in to this meeting as a very powerful civilian leader of pakistan, someone with a substantial civilian majority. he has yet to establish his control over the military, but his instincts are right. his instincts are also right in trying to build relationships to the east with india and to the west with afghanistan. he's bringing some very powerful tools to the conversation. i don't expect that they will have discussed any major breakthroughs. this is really putting the relationship on a positive trajectory. >> faiza patel, on

doctrine justifying such use are unacceptable. >> reporter: the news that president obama has spoken to rohani on the telephone a week ago. it came as a surprise, and ended 34 years of silence and acrimony between the u.s. and iran. afterward, president obama described the phone call. >> the president has indicated that iran will never develop nuclear weapons. i've made clear that we respect the right of the iranian people to access peaceful nuclear energy in the context of iran meeting its obligations. the test will be meaningful actions. >> closing the tweet with, have a good day, mr. president, well, this week at the u.n., it was prime minister net hugh's turn to have a good day. netanyahu's style. >> he can have his yellow cake and eat it, too. and he has another reason to believe that he can get away with it. and that reason is called north korea. like iran, north korea also said its nuclear program was for peaceful purposes. like iran, north korea also order meaning lust confessions and empty promise -- meanings meaning -- meaning-less confessions and empty promises. >> mr. neta

they are thinking about president obama, right? >> they don't want a gun to their head, as the president said. he isn't going to negotiate under these terms. >> the republican party was able to excite its base not seen in years in 2009, going into the 2010 midterm elections and the risk they are playing with now is that they could do this again. and they could use, the american voters will forget the nasty politics that have gone on here and remember that the g.o.p. took a principle stand against obama's program. the other thing that is going on right now is that things are developing very quickly with the government shutdown. we opened a can of worms that we don't know where it's going to go. the republican leadership is probably involved in a bait and switch narrative this week, where they will try to turn this into a discussion how the democrats want to raise the debt ceiling. that won't play well for obama going forward. >> i think both parties are fighting on the edge of a cliff and when you're on the edge of a cliff, the econo

he labeled president obama an extremist. sterday he called into the conservative radio show and made outrageous statements. i think about the president and hillary clinton. outrageous even for dick cheney. he is taking hillary clinton out of context over what else, benghazi. >> i think the benghazi thing is one of the great -- it's not an embarrassment, it's a tragedy. we lost four people that night and i recall her testimony saying what difference does it make? the fact is it makes a huge difference. it wasn't hands on and now she doesn't want to be hands on and doing everything she can to, void responsibility for what fell into that. >> he implies that hillary clinton was talking about the four americans being dead when she said what difference does it make. in fact she was referring to republican attacks on the talking points by susan rice afterwards. here's the full context. >> we were misled that there was pro test and something sprang out of that. that was easily ascertained that that was not the case. the american peop

the reason the tea party is even around right now is because of obama care and president obama. him all you want. but they were sent to congress for a main. >> they made a big statement in 2010. but you seem to think that they're some part of the american -- >> blackmailers, kidnappers. i would call that attack. we'll leave it there. >>> next, does anybody in america really understand why bob is talking during my tease and what obama care is all about? jimmy kimmel's hit show hit the streets to find out. >> which plan do you support in obama care or the affordable care act? >> the affordable care act. >> so the affordable care act is more affordable than obama care? >> just the name says it all. >> right. >> you would agree with the affordable care act? >> absolutely. >> the highlights from day two of the obama carrollout when we come right back. >> that's a trick yes. 7k >>> this is a fox news alert. you are looking live outside the white house where congressional leaders are arriving for a 5:30 meeting with president obama. in the meantime, does anybody really understand obama

senator johnson, i know that president obama is urging business leaders, not just president obama but the white house in general, is urging business leaders to call republicans on the hill such as yourself and say, we can't have this debt ceiling happen. we have to pass a raising of the debt ceiling. have you gotten calls like that and what's your response? >> i have. and i hope those same business leaders call president obama and say what we need to do is address our long-term debt and deficit issue. that's what this is about. it's certainliy ran. the path this country is on is utterly unsustainable. if you really understand, i'm a manufacturer. i'm always looking at the root cause of a problem. the reason we're in the stalemate dates back to the passage of obama care and the fact it was done on a totally partisan basis. it created this divide that hasn't been healed. you ladle that on top of the fact that harry reid's senate hasn't passed any appropriation bills in the last two years. it's kind of primary function of congress is to first authorize the activity of the federal governm

cruz said that president obama is abusing his power. >> you think president obama has been abusing hiser? >> i think he has absolutely been abusing his power. and when you have a president that says regardless of whether congress acts, i'm going to force my agenda on the american people, that's wrong. >> alex and kathleen thank you for joining us. these remarks are powerful. i'm wondering what we can point to or he has pointed to that suggests obama who was able to pass review with the supreme court for his most important bit of legislation has abused his power. where is the abuse apparent to mr. cruz? >> that's that new yorker piece that you pointed out, chris, as a great piece of writing. and one of the comparisons that david denby makes is that obama care is his communism. it is the thing that animates everything he says. i think in some way because the president is trying to help the poor, the disenfranchised, ted cruz has flipped that and made it somehow a repression of democracy. the fact that the president was willing to use whatever levers he could to reopen the government and

ted cruz was asked if president obama is like cuban dictator d fidel castro. ed there's some differences. >> i think he is absolutely abusing his power. and you have a president who says regardless of whether congress acts, i'm going to force my will on the american people. that's not consistent. >> abusing his power? the party who held this country hostage is talking about abuse of power? this isn't about policy. this's about demonizing the president. he's a tyrant, a communist, a dictator. >> in an effort to speak -- >> i am not going to take the thuggery of this president much longer. >> he has all the earmarks of a marxist dictate ir. >> watching a dictatorship emerge in front of their eyes. >> in every society and culture where dictators take over, one of the things they have to do is make sure the citizens are disarmed and can't fight in the streets. >> knowing who he is, knowing the kind of authoritarian quasidictator mentality he has. >> quasi dictator mentality. that's why we see ted cruz again today attacking obama care. we know what it's really about

president obama take aim at these wacko birds today. t's listen to the president of the united states. >> there's no silver bullet. there's no magic wand that allows us to wish away the chaos that could result if for the first time in our history we don't pay our bills on time. when i hear people trying to down play the consequences of that, i think that's really irresponsible. it's particularly funny coming from republicans who claim to be champions of business. there's no business person out here who thinks this wouldn't be a big deal. not one. >> david corn from mother jones magazine and msnbc political analyst. i am stunned here. i don't know what you would do if you put these guys in a lie detector, would it be a flat line? have they talked themselves into believing this? or is it just politics where they'll say we're not going to give the president the facts on the table. we won't even give him there's a deadline. we want to push this and push this and push this until we get what we want. if the economy goes down, the world comes a

dick cheney has the audacity to call president obama's announcement to call president obama's announcementre? let's remind him how his administration handled iraq. >> my fellow americans, major combat operations in iraq have ended and the battle of iraq, the united states and our allies have prevailed. >> i think there in the last throes of the insurgency. >> really? president obama announced the victory because it was a reality. cheney never knew victory under the bush administration. only deception. if he thinks we'll take hypocrisy over history, he can keep on pretending. ks up the tab every time, which is great...what? he's using you. he probably has a citi thankyou card and gets 2x the points at restaurants. so he's just racking up points with me. some people... ugh! no, i've got it. the citi thankyou preferred card. now earn 2x the points on dining out and entertainment, with no annual fee.to apply, go to citi.com/thankyoucards help the gulf when we made recover and learn the gulf, bp from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company. i can tell you - safety is at the

what do republicans want to hear from president obama when he talks to john harwood? >> joining us is representative peter roskam, republican from illinois, happens to be the house chief deputy whip. you and president served as illinois state ledgislators at the same time. thank you for joining us. what would you on the gop like to hear the president saying at this point on day two of the shutdown? >> i think it would be incredibly helpful if the president said, look, of course i'm willing to negotiate because leaders in crisis negotiate. so maybe the fact that he's called for this meeting is a suggestion that there's going to be something more than an admonition and willingness to negotiate. >> negotiate on what? he doesn't want to talk about the debt ceiling. he thinks that's irrelevant to the discussion about the budget at this point. he thinks obama care is irrelevant to the discussion at this point. what do you want to see him negotiate on it? >> well, what i'd like to see him acknowledge is obama care costs $1.9 trillion over ten years. so, of course it is relate

and the re-election of president obama. and when you look at 2012 during the re-election of president obama, you also had many hundreds of thousands of additional americans voting for democrats, but because of how the districts had been redrawn in 2010, it didn't translate into those election wins. >> otherwise you would have lost the majority of the house. >> absolutely lost the house. governing by election does matter. >> well, i'm going to have to leave it there. congressman mcdermott, melissa harris-perry, thank you both for your time tonight. and be sure to watch melissa harris-perry weekends at 10:00 a.m. eastern right here on msnbc. >>> coming up, congratulations are in order. the gop is breaking more records for the lowest favorable poll numbers in history. and that means bad news from the guy who started this mess. ted cruz is hearing it today. >> ma'am, thank you for being here. i wish you would participate in the democratic process through speaking respectfully. it seems that president obama's paid political opera
