general powell had no answer for that. yet, 93% of blacks vote for barack obama. >> correct. >> bill: it's worse for them now than it was four years ago. >> let's cut through all the spending and get down to it other part of it is people flat out don't like the republican party. a lot of obama what he is benefiting here the view of the republican party is a waste -- a negative party of no everything. >> bill: that may be true. >> not maybe, it is true. >> there is emerging leadership in the republican party that people are responding to. however, when you are asked a question, do you approve, you can say i don't approve of president obama or the republic party. but the 60% who are answering approve of barack obama. >> that's right. >> they do. even though the economy is bad after all this massive spending. >> you say it is bad. it is better than it was. >> bill: no it isn't. >> it is too. how you can possibly come up with the notion it's worse. >> bill: it's not better. >> houses are not going under the water the way they

that about 1995 and colin powell.idn't want colin powell to be our nominee because i wanted somebody more conservative. but i respected the hell out of colin powell. and if colin powell won the nomination, i would salute instead of all these idiots -- idiots on the far right who now say if you don't agree with them on every single issue that you're a rino, you're a socialist, you're a this, you're a that, they have no idea who the ronald reagan that they once talked about was, the man who said, just because i'm your friend 80% of the time doesn't make me your enemy 20% of the time. the reagan who came out against assault weapons, the reagan who passed tax increases when he had to pass tax increases, the reagan that was pragmatic. you don't win 49 states without being pragmatic, without figuring out, like bill buckley always said conservatives had to figure out what the reality was in front of the conservative movement. reagan figured it out. he won two historic landslides. if republicans want to win again, they're goi

general colin powell told the vivid, nasty truth.e blasted his party, especially its leaders, for engaging in flagrant race-baiting. many of his points have been made on "hardball." the racist language about the president of the united states shucking and jiving, about him being lazy, the unending background assault of the birthers saying the president is not legitimate, not even an authentic american. again, the general did what i and others have been pounding for months, this multistate republican plan to shrink black electoral strength by slamming down on the chance to vote. what colin powell said yesterday is going right to the heart of the republican intolerance made more powerful by the fact that the indictment has now been made by this country's most celebrated african-american republican. eugene robinson is a pulitzer prize winning columnist for "the washington post" and an msnbc contributor. alex wagner is the host of "now," the celebrated program with her noontime greatness coming at us every day of the week. let's listen t

and former secretary of state colin powell calls out republicans on race. >> there is also a dark vein of intolerance. >> dr. peterson joins me to discuss the republican response. good to have you with us tonight, folks, thank you for joining us. president obama took on the single greatest threat to the economy today, the republican party. the president used the conference in his first term to throw down the gauntlet, and after confusion, president obama set the record straight on the debt ceiling. >> now the other imposition is called the debt ceiling. something most americans had not heard of before two years ago. so i want to be clear about this. the debt ceiling is not a question of authorizing more spending. raising the debt ceiling does not authorize more spending. it simply allows the country to pay for spending that congress has already committed to. >> and of course republicans tried to trick americans into believing the debt ceiling was a blank check or magic credit card for the president to go spend whatever he wanted to spend. of course, the united states constitution gives

colin powell had tough talk for the gop.claims he's still a republican, but that the outlook for his party is grim without serious change. and if president clinton makes a surprise appearance at the golden globes, the big winner in hollywood last night was politics. we'll tell you why. good morning from washington. it's monday, january 14th, 2013. this is "the daily rundown." to my first reads of the morning. today marks the one-month anniversary of the newtown shooting. a month ago, there was a sense that this tragedy was different. that the shock and grief after 20 6 and 7-year-old children were gunned down in an elementary school would launch a national conversation on guns and somehow change the political landscape of the gun issue. well, for the first time since al gore lost the election, there has been a sustained conversation about what the government can or should do about gun violence. as vice president biden prepares to unveil proposals, some details are emerging. universal background checks on gun buyers ramped up

why is colin powell still a republican? will? >> i don't know that colin powell is a republican.self-identifies as one, but republican/democrat, that's a team and a label. it's much more interesting to examine people's policies and principles. colin powell, i don't have to go back far. the same interview with david gregory, i talked about health care for the nation, climate change, redistributive tax policies -- these are things that republicans oppose on principle, and he did that, though, which makes it worse, in a conversation, and there was a subtle link to this issue of race. it makes republicans look like they don't oppose president obama for all these principle or policy reasons that were just brought up, but rather because he's black, and that's what is really, really disturbing and destructive, that we have a serious disagreement with policy and principles, not because of who the president is or what his race is. >> l.z., response? >> you see what i mean, carol? that's a perfect example of what i talked about earlier. there are racist facets of republican party. when you

but whoa. >> colin powell used to be a republican. he is any longer. >> the case he makes is weak. >> the case is weak? no. it's the truth. and sometimes that hurts. there's no question we've made progress. four years ago history was made. our first african-american president. and we're days from president obama's second inauguration coming on martin luther king day. but from day one of the administration, the right wing rhetoric has been ugly. they've called him un-american, lazy, a food stamp president. this was once the party of lincoln. what happened? joining me now, jonathan capehart, opinion writer for "the washington post" and an msnbc contributor. and victoria defrancesco soto. an msnbc contributor. thank you both for joining me tonight. >> thanks, rev. >> thanks rb reverend. >> jonathan, almost 45 years from the death of dr. king, would you think we'd be here right now in our politics? >> well, no. you would think that we would have at least our politics would have advanced farther along than this. colin powell sunday as you

>> what general powell said is right. is this, the rest of the country is moving in a certain direction demographically in a way that makes it more possible than ever for a democrat to win a presidential race, makes it more possible than ever for democrats to start winning all of these statewide races and senate races. those same demographic changes, however, are not happening in the majority of house districts across the country. the coalition that elected president obama this year more than ever this democratic coalition is bunched into the metropolitan areas. the statistics that jumps out at me is this. in 1988 when michael dukakis got flattened in the presidential race he won over 800 counties nationally. this year getting re-elected by 5 million votes, barack obama won only 690 counties. the democrat vote is so tightly bunched into these areas, you have these wide swaths of district after district after district that do not look like the rest of america, that are not evolving like the rest of america but they're elec

and now to former secretary of state colin powell.e is a republican and now slamming the fellow republicans, accusing the republicans party of looking down on minorities. >> i think the republican party right now is having an identity problem. there's been a significant shift to the right and we have seen what that shift has produced, to losing presidential campaigns. the country is changing demographically and if the republican party does not change along with that demographic they're going to be in trouble. there's also a dark, a dark vein of intolerance in some parts of the party. what do i mean by that? what i mean by that, they still sort of look down on minorities. >> former congressman allen west joins us, good evening, sir. >> good evening, greta, how are you doing. >> greta: i'm very well. as you might imagine when former secretary of state colin powell talked about the dark vein of tolerance, and republican party... i wonder your reaction to that. >> of course i have to disagree with general powell's remarks, i'm not going t

so, bob, baseless criticism from powell? >> bob: not at all.roduce this thing you said he said the republican party. that's not what he said. he said a small bane in the republican party that looks down on minorities. i believe that's true. i believe when you had kreito in the house he looked down to hispanics. whoever made the shuck and jive, that was that's racial comment. i don't believe that the republican party is all racist but there is a vain. you say there is a vain -- >> kimberly: you named one perp. >> bob: i named two. >> eric: for the record he didn't say small vain, he said dark vain. >> andrea: is that racial, too? >> bob: the way you introduced it was the republican party and rubio said the republican party. he did not say that. >> andrea: this sounds like ganging up on president obama for not having enough women or minorities so let's project, deflect. it's not true. republican party has one of the deepest, most diverse benchs they ever had. >> kimberly: absolutely. it's without any basis. i'm surprised and disappointed that the

. >> rose: you have talked about on your program general powell in one colin powell said on "meet the press." does that represent for you the sense that the party is looking inward at all, these issues like gun control, like fiscal issues and like outreach to minorities that it had not done before but is doing it because people like colin powell are stepping forward to say if we don't have a tolerant party we won't l not have a future? >> well, charlie i'm pleased secretary powell still considers himself as a republican. as a republican i wasn't necessarily thrilled that he supported a democratic president but i understand colin powell believes like a lot of my moderate republican friends that this party left them a long time ago. it's very simple. when colin powell is on your side off much better chance of being elected president. when people like colin powell are supporting you, be it a republican candidate or a democratic candidate, that's a positive. we republicans over the past two three, four years have pushed moderates like colin powell to the side in favor of people like todd

general powell, good morning, welcome back to the program. >> good morning, david.good to be here. >> i want to start on chuck hagel. why do you think he should be confirmed? >> i think there are a number of reasons. first, i think he has had a very, very distinguished public service record that he can stand on. there are a lot of comments about different things he said over the years and i think he will have a chance to respond to all those comments as the confirmation hearings. but it might be useful just to stand back and take a look at this man overall a young man who volunteered to go to vietnam. they wanted to send him to europe, a nice, safe, place, he wanted to go to vietnam. he and his brother went. they were both wounded, he was wounded twice. came back to vietnam, went to school on the gi bill, veterans administration. from there went to other things in life. he supported president reagan in his run for office and as a result of that, he received an appointment as deputy director of the veterans administration to show you the kind of courage this guy has

earlier on "meet the press" colin powell said the u.s.ould need to keep some military personnel on the ground but would not speculate as to the numbers. but senator john mccain was more critical. >> there's always a tendency in washington on these issues to say 2,000, 4,000, 10,000. that's not the right way to go about it. as a military planner you determine what it is that we have to do, how many advisers you need, what kind of military assistance group do you need, and then you determine what those numbers are. >> there's a series of decisions, all of which the president and the vice president have overruled our military leaders and their advice and counsel, which is the president's right to do. but each time i believe that it has ensured the risk of failure. >> nbc's amon mul hachlt din joins me in studio. uniquely. it's so nice to have you stateside. thanks for joining us. who's right here in terms of troop numbers? based on your practical assessment of what's going on there? >> well, that's a million-dollar question. i think it reall

the one who did was colin powell.first of all, who former secretary of state, former chairman of the joint chiefs who said that -- he came out very, very strongly in defense of senator haggel. >> people say that doesn't necessarily make him a good candidate for secretary of defense. i will tell you who thinks that makes him a good candidate for secretary of defense, the men and women in the armed forces of the united states and their parents. >> meaning, of course he will be the first enlisted man to serve as secretary of defense. and one of the few wounded in wartime and in combat to the serve as secretary of defense. then where colin powell really made news was when he we want on to say, this whole battle over chuck hagel, republicans versus republicans over chuck hagel is i will lustrative of what's wrong with the republican party. colin powell again. >> i think what the republican party needs to do now is take a hard look at its self and understand that the country has changed. the country is changing demographica
