so senate minority leader harry reid just told rachel maddow that if republicans don't schedule a vote for lynch, he'll force a vote himself. >> one thing that has not been done, and is now approaching an historic delay is the nomination of loretta lynch to be the next attorney general of the united states. what is going on there and is she ever going to get a vote? >> the first part of may, i don't know if it was first or second, she will have been in limbo, in purgatory, for six months. this is a woman no one, no one can question her qualities, her educational background her experience. in fact we had republicans, mccain mcconnell lindsey graham, saying what a good woman she was. suddenly, they're not allowing her to have a vote. and they're basicng it on such shallow evidence. i mean we're here trying to have a woman confirmed as attorney general of the united states and they're off on some abortion issue of some place. it's ridiculous. and i want to say this to all of your viewers. we've put up with this far too long. and we're going to either have a vote on her very soon that's cr

. >> my pleasure >>> "the rachel maddow show starts right now." \s. >> thanks man >>> isis has released another new very disturbing video showing members beheading and shooting dozens of people. what's the difference about this laters video is that it compares to combine the home base in iraq and syria with new execution footage which appears to have been very shot far away in the nation of libya. terrorist groups all over the world have pledged allegiance but it's not always been clear that there was an operational relationship between isis headquarters in iraq and syria and the far-flung groups in places like nigeria or somalia or libya or anywhere else but in this latest propaganda film the footage of these murders in libya, this massacre of people in libya is not only interspersed with other footage that seems like it was clearly shot in syria and iraq the whole thing also appears to have been produced by the same isis media production team that has made all of the other scarily slick videos we have seen from them. so somehow the libyan branch

"the rachel maddow show" starts now. >> good evening, chris. happy friday. thank you at home for joining us this hour. happy friday to you, too. in the summer of 1999 the president of the united states and his family decided that they would spend their summer vacation at the home of some people they had never met. and they spent the summer vacation in a town that is harder to pronounce and spell than almost any other town in the country. and certainly than any other town in the state which they vacationed. this is the town name. how would you pronounce that name? sound it out. if you guessed skaneateles, you are not allow. but the way you say the name is -- skinny-atlas. the local news anchor that covers skinny-atlas, new york, in 1999 the local anchor was a super dorky local tv anchor. but he is now a network news abc anchorman named david muir. you know david muir at abc? this is what he looked like before he was david muir. >> live from the great new york state fair this is eyewitness news 5 at 5:00. >> good evening, everyone. i'm david muir. >> and i'm l

we founded air america, we hired al franken and rachel maddow. she was a news reader springfield, massachusetts at the time. and a bunch of other talent. rebecca: it looked like it had everything it needed to succeed. mark: except money. we had a fraudulent chairman. he's in prison now, and he lieded to everybody about how much money the company had. i will agree with the critics on air america on one specific thing. it was very hard to raise money for air america. you had a lot of very wealthy liberal donors who wowould give the democratic candidates and two other liberal causes, but could not find in their heart a way to give to a fourth [indiscernible] that would promote their message. the democrats and hard right find it natural to give to opportunities that will promote their message, and it's great. liberal and progressive and democrats could not get into their mind that they would actually have a consistent, profitable voice to generate their message. republicans have no problem with it. rebecca: you are juggling all these different hats.

the rachel maddow show starts now. >> good evening.tire country was absolutely rivoted to a story that at the core was very intensely private and personal story even though the entire country was paying attention to it. there's a "time" magazine pol poll done at this time. this is exactly ten years ago, large march 2005. in that "time" magazine poll 76% of the country said they were either very closely or some what closely following this specific story. this specific case of this woman in florida.

now back to "the rachel maddow show." >> that saturday when the president stood up to deliver his lines, he demonstrated that he had the world's best poker face because what he knew that night and what no one else in that room knew and basically what no one else in the room knew was that as he was standing up to deliver his jokes, he was also in the final stages of authorizing the raid on osama bin laden. when the comic chose to host the dinner that night, seth myers made mention of bin laden in his act and how we still had not found him. watch what happened. >> did you know every day from 4:00 to 5:00 he hosts a show on c-span? >> the president just laughing right along with that when seth myers delivered that line. he just laughed like it was any other ordinary joke. just one of the routine from seth myers. one of the reasons we were able to identify and snag bin laden after that dinner is because of something called the office of the director of national intelligence. that office was created ten years ago as a result of recommendations by the 9/11 commission. the idea was to streamli

the rachel maddow show starts now. >> thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. doing the show in washington, d.c., tonight it's lovely here cherry blossom time, it's delightful. before u.s. presidents had term limits, franklin delano roosevelt ran for president four times in a row. and every time he ran, he won by huge margins, even though this is what the country looked like when he won. he won overwhelmingly every single time that he ran, there were two states that said no to fdr four times in a row. owl four times that he ran. those states were maine and vermont. the people's republic of vermont went 0 for 4 when it came to voting for fdr. for all of the 19th century and most of the 20th century, the single most republican state in the union was vermont of all places. they did bring themselves to vote democrat for lbj in 1964. that year it was hard not to. after that, vermont went back to its old solid republican ways it was the most solid republican place in the union for the next election, they voted republican again and again and again and again. it was no

senator harry reid did some reflection with rachel maddow.the worst thing that's happened since he's been in the senate comes down to two words. >> it has changed this country dramatically citizens united. we have about 15 people in the country making major decisions for all of us with hundreds and millions of dollars. >> in kansas major welfare reform. the governor signed a bill that bars recipients from getting a tees seeing psychics and even buying lingerie. tennessee house defeats bill to make bible the official state book. they say it's for constitutional reasons. yesterday clinton praised another person often considered a political rival. senator elizabeth warren. clinton wrote the section dedicated to her in the most influential people list. she never hesitates to hold powerful people's feet to the fire. bankers, lobby yiss and even presidential hopefuls. speaking of aspiring candidates bush was in new hampshire far politics and pie event. he sunk his teeth into a big sliegs of blueberry but what about the pail owe diet? >> the hell wi

senate minority leader harry reid told msnbc's rachel maddow he might use hardball tactics by breaking protocol. >> we put up with this far too long. we're going to need to have a vote on her very soon created by mitch mcconnell or i'll create one. i can still do that. i know parliamentary procedure around here. we're going to put up with this for a little while longer but not much. >>> jeb bush wants a vote out of deference to the executive. >>> a lighter moment to break all this tension. at a committee hearing senator pat roberts forgot to silence his phone. >> we're going to be very aggressive on that issue as well as on the geographic preferences -- >> oh, come on. ♪ ♪ >> just let it go. >> roberts was not the only one off his rocker. cameras caught north carolina governor pat mccrory falling off his chair. to his credit the chair had wheels. he smiled popped up and said "ta-da." >>> the brand-new trailer for "star wars." the action intrigued darth vader masks. the big reveal two familiar faces at the end. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> chewie, we're home. >> love it. so excited to see the cast a japane

rachel maddow has her on at 9:00 eastern. but let's get to senator schumer. senator schumer, thanks for coming on tonight. we had the president on yesterday, as you know. he said he wanted me to go to you. i can't explain chuck schumer's position on this. ask him. and i was saying that you have always represented a financial center of new york, which is generally pro trade. but you also have to worry about upstate new york which is an old industrial area. what it is in your constituency that you're particularly concerned about with regard to the pacific trade deal? >> well, it goes way beyond my constituent circumstances chris. as you know, i have said this on your show. the greatest problem america faces is the decline of middle class incomes. and to me, trade agreements while they may increase corporate profits and they may even increase gdp, we help middle class incomes to decline. and it's obvious why. the studies have shown it. it's obvious why, because of these trade agreements are labor moves. companies move labor to the lowest cost markets. i used to

and yes that troubles me greatly. >> the rachel maddow show has done exclusive reporting on it and rachelo scientist were used to conduct the research that led to this? >> no. it's really interesting. i got to tell you i first got interested in this because i saw the report that was filed with the oklahoma state legislature recommending that they pick this process. and the report is a little weird. like you're familiar with the merck manual, the manual that doctors use for prescribing stuff. they describe the merck manual as the meric-manuel, they spellies arespell ies are -- spell respiratory. and a magazine written by a writer in san francisco, the other was a 1995 conservative magazine opinion piece written by a guy who's an amateur screenwriter. this was their main evidence. no doctors no scientists participated in the process. participated in the. it. it was two high school friends. won of whom was a state -- one. whom was a state senator. and another a criminal just attorney. and they came one the idea themselves. that's the nation's newest execution method. >> they didn't just buy

. >> what he's saying to rachel mad maddow not that she's going to join the obstruction party but he believes as a parliamentary matter because this nominee already passed out of committee and thus a technical matter to bring into the session to process nominees. that doesn't guarantee a confirmation but it would if it works guarantee a vote. that's what he was saying to rachel maddow. >> the reason he could pass is because senate republicans use the pass with the simple majority vote. basically filibuster proof. the question is whether we could get a majority vote on what harry reid is suggesting. >> final vote. >> dana to the optics of a congress not doing much. today on the medicare dock fix, there are green shoots if you will, in terms of functionality. i also wonder, to your point, about this being the nomination of the country's first african-american female attorney general, in a moment where it feels like we're talking about race every week for whatever reason, videos controversies, the like is this republican sort of coming to reality and saying, this is not a good move for
