joining us is joy reid and ed rendell, former governor of pennsylvania.ke a terrible political consultant. because if you're asking me what is the smart political play for democrats, should they be on this committee to fight what the republicans should do? should they boycott it? i could give you the argument for both of them. i don't know which is right. i don't know if there is a right argument here. but what do you think? are they making a mistake? >> you know what, steve, i have interviews congresswoman sanchez, congressman cummings, who i think is a very compelling, arbitor for his own side. he's done a great job opposite darrell issa on the government reform committee, but i have not been persuaded, frankly, be i their arguments on by nancy pelosi's arguments is the best thing for democrats to do strategically was to be in the room to butt any falsehood coming out of the republicans and saying somebody has to be there to stand up for the witnesses. i got to tell you, i think i said this to luke russert earlier in the week, you can't say it's a kanga

on the other hand, i will concede this point to ed rendell.'m not sure what the republican position is right now on the economy. i know they are against the minimum wage, and i agree. i'm not sure what exactly their growth position is. >> ed? >> well, first of raul, for the group that larry is talking about, the people who are unemployed and long-term unemployed and disenchanted, i think the republicans are on the wrong side of the unemployment compensation issue. i think it looks almost inhumane for them to take the position that they are taking. it makes no sense to me at all. i think democrats can drive that across and can drive across income inequality. the minimum wage, we can debate whether it costs jobs or not. i remember when we raised the minimum wage under bill clinton we had the best following years of job creation we've had in the last 60 years. you can't debate the fact that when you raise the minimum wage it has the effect of raising other salaries up and up as well so i think there's a lot of stuff in the democratic arsenal and

governor rendell, our resident clinton expert on the show.is the move of someone not running for president? does this not guarantee the fact that hillary clinton is going to be a candidate in 2016? >> certainly it's a step in that direction. i don't think there's any guarantees in life alex. >> who would roll this out in such a fashion and not run for president? do you really think there's a possibility that this is just to quash the benghazi stuff? >> no. i think people are concerned. i'm never going to run for office again but when anything says anything inan rat about my time in office i push back and i psh back hard. we're interested in making sure that the facts about what we did and didn't do get out there. look, let's asunl she's a candidate. this is good strategy. particularly going on fox. i love that. when i was if dnc chair i went on fox all the time. if the democratic feud was going to be presented by someone i wanted it to be presented by myself. >> jonathan, the rollout this week and in the recent weeks, has been tremendous and

dionne and governor ed rendell.o e.j., health care as a job killer, are you sad to say goodbye to that talking point? >> i think the only people whose jobs being killed by obama care are those who write anti-obamacare talking points. they've got to go back and figure out something else. i guess that's why they're talking so much about benghazi. there are els omt this law, a lot of us talk about the medicaid expansion because it's going to get more americans health insurance, and that's a good thing. getting those folks health insurance is actually very good for local hospitals, particularly community hospitals, particularly hospitals that serve low become people. so there are a lot of net pluses in obama care. and in any event, it was never going to bring down the economy the way they said. but i'm not sure that's going to stop them from their investment in the job killer world. i think they're just addicted to it. >> you know, governor, we learned this week, enrollment in health care exchanges was even higher than

joining me now, a former governor ed rendell and jess mcintosh, thank you both for being here. >> our pleasure. >> thanks for having me. >> governor, if thom tillis was moderate, who would be an extremist? >> it's hard to figure out, rev. the interesting thing is, it's true we democrats would have been better off if some of the tea party candidates had won. if brannon had won, kay hagan would have definitely been re-elected, but you're making a very good point here, and, of course, tillis makes it himself on that tape. these so-called establishment moderates are not moderate at all. they are very extreme. they are extreme in essentially what they want to do, but their campaigns against the tea party forces them to be more extreme. there was a debate with the tea party candidate and tillis was asked if he believed that there was any factual basis to climate change. and he said no. he doesn't believe that there's climate change. he doesn't believe that we're challenged and that we've got to do something about carbon and what's happening to the world. now, i don't know if he really belie

the congressman talked about education is one, folks like governor rendell talked about green infrastructure, but we think that these seven areas really capture the essence of the infrastructure debate in the united states today. and we know that all these things work together. it's clearly a system of systems. water, transport, energy, all these things are fundamentally connected. when it comes down to what we need to do today which is how do you deliver projects in an era of real if fiscal constraints and political gridlock in many places, we've got to deal with these sectors. the federal role in each of these sectors of infrastructure varies dramatically. what the federal government is doing in telecommunications is not the same thing they're doing on public transit, it was not the same thing they're doing on freight rail, water and other areas. other important themes we heard throughout the week, one is that, obviously, infrastructure matters to the american economy. this was a big drum beat right from the very beginning with a big event with the claim per of commerce. we brought in busi
