so richard wolffe, i have inflated myself to such a degree on this issue. i do find this conversation frankly a little bit unreal. we are not going to go capture terrorists. we, as a country, are not going to put enough troops on the ground to protect those forces to capture terrorists in the bad lands of afghanistan and pakistan. >> like khalid sheikh mohammed? >> we will not throw enough navy s.e.a.l.s out there who is low level jihadi targets and if we are not going to keep on filling up a place like guantanamo or some equivalent on the home land where we lock people up indefinitely because we really don't have the evidence to try them but if we do have the evidence we have tortured them. if we are not filling up a place like that then you're left with one option which is to kill them. tom, you talked to the intelligence people all the time. we use the the words like al qaeda. al qaeda, today, we have been talking about them around this table and what does that represent and when you back to your reporting in the '80s to the iranian revolution, jihadist

. >> joining me now, richard wolffe and krystal ball. thank you both for coming on the show tonight. >> thanks for having us, reverend. >> krystal, let me start with you. have the gop gone off the deep end here? >> i think that they have never quite understood the election and up until now that the american people do not feel about the president that they do. they have all this hatred towards him and always assume the worst of him. so anything that they can see and find that ties into their caricature of him, they grab on to and they assume that the broader american public is going to make the same connection. they don't. they don't see him that way. they like him. they generally trust him. they think that he is doing the best that he can. so when they make these bizarre assertions that in a lot of ways don't even -- contradict themselves, they are really undermining their own point and really jumping the shark, as you put it. t>>s if they ignored the elect right. >> they have the same narrow tea party group saying the same v venomous th

. >> richard wolff, there's our credibility. previous administration did everything it possibly could to eliminate any notion of worldwide credibility for american foreign policy predictions or pronouncements. >> lawrence, i think you're being unfair. they did say there were red lines over iraq, and saddam hussein, being saddam hussein, crossed them. you can't doubt their sincerity of desire to go to war. the weapons of mass destruction were overstated. they did in fact invade iraq. >> yeah, they were incapable of changing course in their predetermined desires of what to do, no matter what kind of information came their way, there wasn't any kind of intelligence that could derail them from where they were going in iraq. >> which is why exactly john mccain is saying we need to do it all over again. the outcome wasn't exactly what they planned. maybe the do over is the right thing. in all seriousness, what the president said was that his calculation would change. right now, the calculator in the president's brain is turning over i

. >> joining us for more on this, richard wolffe, executive editor of msnbc.com. we should point out the young man we heard from there is part of the group called the english defense league. far right almost fascist group. that's part of a movement in the uk that seems to be joining strength at the moment. to our mutual consternation. >> it's not just in the uk, right? it's across europe. we're seeing the rise of extreme right wing groups. it's not disconnected, of course, to economic hardship and austerity measures as well. we've seen that throughout european history. actually throughout world history. but, of course, there is a barbaric event in the middle of all this independent of whatever you're seeing from, frankly, the right wing thugs out there. that's what we saw, extraordinary scenes in london. you know. by the way, not just the murderous scenes. a lot of attention has been placed on these people who wanted to be filmed on cell phone cameras, making these outrageous statements. but incredible bravery from the bypassers who intervened to stop them from pr

joining me now, bob strom and richard wolffe.ing here tonight. >> glad to be here. >> wbob, how is this latest meeting between the president and chris christie going to go over with republicans? >> there's going to be problems with a lot of republicans. the big news here is christie decided he's not going to be romney. he's not going to change who he is, give up what he believes to get the nomination. that's going to be a real test for the republican party. not just because of this embrace of the president. but because while christie's very conservative, he's not -- he doesn't check every single ideological box. for example, he favors civil partnerships for same-sex couples. he favors some strong forms of gun control. says new jersey has the toughest gun control laws in the nation. he's expanded medicaid under obama care. now, he's going to get asked about all of that in a debate in iowa standing on that stage. and i'm not sure it's going to go over very well with those republican voters, even if he is the only republican right n

reid, columnist and co-host of "squawk box" on cnbc andrew ross sorkin and executive director, richard wolffe. joy, before we get to the broader issues plaguing or not plaguing perhaps in some people's minds, the republican party, the exit of michele bachmann. let us take a moment, because it is a moment worthy of relishing or putting the signpost down. this is the retirement of a woman who at one point said that obama care will kill people, has questioned whether carbon dioxide is harmful or not, whether or not a.c.o.r.n. was conducting a crennel us, really a woman with many theories in the political sphere. i wonder what you make of the retirement, and whether you think it was motivated by potential scandal or inquiry as it is today in terms of michele bachmann's campaign structure. >> first of all, if ulieie, the presidency of crazyland is open? great. shoo-in. and michele bachmann was sort of the perfect kind of crystallization of the problem with the republican party and the tea party. you had this tea party that said we're not really republicans, we're just out there to fight for a bett

and executive editor of msnbc.com and msnbc political analyst, richard wolffe and joining us from washington, is mark mazetti author of "the way of the knife." >> an experiment that's lasted more than a decade, do you think we've learned anything from that experiment? >> we've learned how to use armed drones in hundreds of occasions. i said that a little flippantly. the the experiment has been in manhunting and killing that really from around 2008 on has been a pretty entense campaign. primarily in pakistan, but also in yemen and elsewhere. what the president is apparently going to lay out today. is some sort of framework that he hopes will last through the end of his term. and also, beyond his presidency. the question is this -- what you raise, is one of transparency. by moving drone strikes to this pentagon from the c.i.a., will that really mean far greater transparency that what we see today? >> what does transparency mean when the qualifications for drone strikes include continuing imminent threat to americans? that seems so fungible what does that practically mean? if president obama is

krystal ball, richard wolff, thank you. >> thanks, lawrence. >>> more on the real scandal at the irs, how i think the president is aware now what the real scandal is. >>> attorney general holder's confrontation with darrell issa. what do you do if you're a senator that voted against what 90% of the people want. one approach would be to lie and say you voted for it. and that is why senator kelly ayotte is in the "rewrite." when it came to our plants, we were so confused. how much is too much water? too little? until we got miracle-gro moisture control. it does what basic soils don't by absorbing more water, so it's there when plants need it. with the right soil, everyone grows with miracle-gro. the act of soaring across an ocean in a three-hundred-ton rocket doesn't raise as much as an eyebrow for these veterans of the sky. however, seeing this little beauty over international waters is enough to bring a traveler to tears. we're putting the wonder back into air travel, one innovation at a time. the new american is arriving. they have no idea what it was like before u-verse high speed i

economic justice compatible with a globalized economy and for more on this i'm joined now by richard wolffe economist and author of the book democracy at work and scott nova executive director of the workers rights consortium. professor wealth scott thanks a lot for coming on scott i want to share with you your organization investigates these sort of factories we've seen a lot of these in the past few weeks just how rampant are factories with these conditions and are we going to keep seeing these over and over again until something's done very likely will unfortunately dangerous working conditions are the norm in the industry and this disaster in cambodia helps make it clear that this is not. problem or a cambodia problem it's a problem of a global apparel industry dominated by large brands and retailers who put so much pressure on their contract factories around the world to accept extremely low prices that those factories cannot pay any attention to worker safety and still stay in business right and i think the word here is key word professor rolf is global you know globalism is touted as

shannon o'neill and executive editor of msnbc.com and an msnbc political analyst, par excellence, richard wolffe. thank you for joining us. shannon, i want to go to you first. it seems there are two different goals here, possibly at loggerheads with one another. the president says he doesn't want to talk about border security and the drug war, they want to focus on the u.s. mexico economic relationship. to assuage the concerns of those back at home, border security will be something he needs to pay attention to or at least highlight. >> we'll see both of these issues on the agenda. in the public side it will be a lot about economics. it will be about how can we deepen this trade, this half trillion dollars worth of goods that are companies, workers on both sides depend on. that will be a focus of a lot of discussion. particularly behind the scenes, there will be a lot of focus on security. the violence issue in mexico is still very high. the worry if mexico does poorly, it will affect the united states. that will be there. >> how is penieta different from calderon. >> mexico curbs on u.s. role a

. >> richard wolffe, you know the president very well, and you've written a book about him. i've never seen that look, the intensity as a projection of what he thinks about the opposition and how they've been playing this thing. >> he's upset about it for a number of reasons, but remember what he's actually talking about is the question that republicans have never been able to nail down. which is motive. why would the white house want this cover-up? they've suggested all sorts of things about you know, maybe they were to blame for the security failings in the first place. that didn't work because actually of course, house republicans cut the security budget and the security request. so there's joint culpability in terms of the security failings. just at the end of last week we heard house republicans again saying well, the white house or someone stopped them from sending in air force jets to buzz the compound and drive the terrorists away. and then you have robert gates say actually that's ridiculous and cartoonish. so the last thing comes down to motive about the talking po

. >> richard wolff: the american people can and will find ways to push for the kinds of changes that can get us out of this dilemma. >> vince warren: i want to see that change. and it's going to take people here in this country to be able to make that happen. >> bill moyers: to that chorus let us now add now the witness of marshall ganz. he's an american maestro of organizing who himself, has never given in to despair or given over to fear. >> marshall ganz: how can change ever happen if the powerful always win? there are conditions under which it turns out david can sometimes win. >> bill moyers: at harvard's kennedy school of government, marshall ganz teaches the next generation of organizers, students from all over the world. he tells them when in doubt, just remember the story in the bible of little david and his slingshot. >> marshall ganz: what did you take from the classic story of david and goliath? how does it begin? how does the whole, when does the action begin? >> goliath is marching out and repeatedly challenging the israelites. and no one comes out to challenge him. >>

we still, sadly have donny deutsche with us and richard wolffe is here and joining us on the set bestmoderator in washington of "meet the press" david gregory. we have had an awful lot to talk about including coca-cola. this is big for you, mika. we are not going to start with an obesity story. >> yes, we are. >> on a ben ghazi morning and cleveland. we are not going to do this. this is very big. coca-cola is looking to flex some criticism about how its products contribute to obesity but this is about supply. this is a thing like mcdonald's. a lot of times you say mcdonald's is doing this to avoid lawsuits. no, they are not. they are doing this to make more money because they are following the demand. what worked 20 years ago doesn't work in 2013. your book talks about it. people are changing their habits. >> we -- >> isn't that right, donny? >> i'm sorry. no, no. . a huge last night, the mika book party and doll la lamb ma was there and nelson mandela. >> singing "the way we were." and broke down at the end. >> this is an important book and a lot of inspirational stuff. i met your co
