michigan's governor, schneider, says he is very skeptical of the idea that this just is not the right time. so we started with six possible states that republicans hoped to fill the playing field. florida, wisconsin, ohio, and finally michigan said they wouldn't do it. but there is still a holdout, not michigan, i am surprised to say i thought the holdout would be michigan. but turns out the holdout is pennsylvania. the republican senate majority leader said he would introduce a bill this month in february, even if it makes some folks in his party a little queasy, i thought it was home to the republican party in 2013. but maybe it is pennsylvania, maybe it is actually tom corbett eating the cobra. hard ball's up next. good night. >>> the pain of mccain. let's play "hardball." >>> good evenly iing. i'm chris matthews in washington. let me start with this. why is john mccain so gri? why america? why are we fighting the vietnam war all over again in the united states senate. the have it tree troll against chuck hagel. is it about lyndon johnson's inability to win that war or end it? what

>> bill schneider says the move is likely to boost president obama's popularity with some bases, what will be strongly opposed -- but will be strongly opposed by republicans. >> he wants to show faith to the latino, hispanic supporters who came out in large numbers to support him. a big advantage over the republicans. republicans in congress are on the defensive because they realize that if they continue alienating those immigrant voters they will be sunk as a political party. it is both a policy and political advantage. the president is pressing very hard. republicans in congress are really under pressure. they are insisting that any plan for citizenship or even legal status has to wait until the border is absolutely secure. the white house has to -- says the border is secure now. republicans do not want to talk about a path to citizenship. the president does. that is a huge difference where the president has an advantage. on a lot of these issues he is pushing ahead. the president planned a proposal that was leaked -- not for citizenship, but for a probationary status of up to eight

joining me now, "washington post" political reporter nia-malika henderson and resident fellow, bill schneiderll, i'll start with you. you argue that of the two main issues on the president's plate, immigration and gun control, he has a much better shot at making progress in immigration. why? >> because his party is solidly behind him on immigration and republicans are scared to death of that issue because that's one of the reasons why they did so badly in the election last year. on guns, democrats are split and the republicans are solidly against it. so, on those two issues, i'd say he stands a much better chance of getting some progress on the immigration issue. >> but we do think at this particular juncture that he does get something done on gun control, correct? >> i think he might very well get some progress on background checks, maybe on limits on magazine sales, but very unlikely to see much action on an assault weapons ban. >> nia-malika, let's talk about immigration for a second. house majority leader eric cantor said this week that he supports children of illegal immigrants having a

schneider. i've got some sort of camel toe. >> jimmy: you got some shorty shorts there, man. [ laughter ] >> i don't know what happened. i have nice legs. >> jimmy: you kind of look comfortable, kind of. >> we were -- we were doing one of sandler's first albums there. everyone does voices on it and he was doing that one, " hey, buddy, hey, buddy." >> jimmy: oh, yeah. "you're all gonna laugh at you." >> "dude, buddy. they're all gonna laugh at you!" these albums went like, gold, platinum. it's crazy. >> jimmy: yeah -- >> unbelievable. >> jimmy: but i love seeing photos like that 'cause it's interesting to me. i was a fan of yours. here's you and the man himself, chris farley in there. >> yeah.

governor schneider is making it a priority in michigan. governor tomlin has made this a priority in west virginia. even in a time of tight budgets, republicans and democrats are focused on high-quality early childhood education. we want to make sure that we can be an effective partner in that process. we should be able to do that for every child everywhere, democrat, republican, blue state, red state, it shouldn't matter. all of us want our kids to grow up more likely to read and write and do math at grade level, to graduate high school, hold a job, and form more stable families of their own. that will be better for every state. that will be better for this country. that's what high-quality early childhood education can deliver. and i hope that you're willing to partner with us to make that happen. let me just close with this. there are always going to be areas where we have some genuine disagreement. here in washington and in your respective states. but there are more areas where we can do a lot more cooperating than i think we've seen ov

there was a story in "the washington post" the other day by howard schneider and danielle douglas with the lead, "five years after the collapse of lehman brothers, a global push to tighten financial regulation around the world has slowed in the face of attempted recovery, which the banks helped bring on and a ugh industry lobby effort. big banks, insurers and other financial giants remain intact and arguably too big to fail." i mean, nothing really has changed. >> no, no, definitely not. and in fact, if you want to look at it objectively, since 2008, you know, the companies that we're talking about have become bigger and more dangerous and more immune to prosecution than they were back then. and you might even say by a lot. i mean, you know, the first factor was that you had a series of mergers in 2008, which you know, made companies like wells fargo and jp morgan chase, you know, double in size. or they were much bigger than they were before. so therefore they're more dangerous. and so you have these companies, like barclays, like royal bank of scotland, like ubs, like hsbc, which are

so it was very amusing because peter schneider and tom shoemanager, the two producers, we couldn't getmpede set up technically. we couldn't get it ready. so they would come on stage in the first week, light was go up and say don't leave your seats. are you the lucky onesment you are the audience in the process of previews where you are getting to see it transform. so stay where you are while we take about 10 minutes now to set up the scene. now during that time in previews, we had to write new material. because we definitely couldn't get the scenery ready so we wrote what is called an in one down stage in the front, the scene between mufasa and zazu which is there to cover the time, but ended up being one of the most important emotional scenes in the piece. so we learned that we needed that because technically we couldn't do the show. then you come back to new york and you have another, i don't know, six to ten, i done know how many weeks of previews, so when you add it all up it's a lot of previews before the show actually opened officially on broadway. >> rose: i take it you didn't h

people like arizona's governor jan brewer and michigan governor rick schneider among others.r crist, it looks like the flow is in the direction of cooperation with the president. >> well, and that's a positive sign. i mean, you know, obviously the president got re-elected. he got re-elected handily. i think that should send a message to people all across the country and clearly here in florida, he took florida, too, and that was in doubt for quite some time as you know, but he did take florida. he did well in the sunshine state, and i think the message is very clear that, you know, the people want common sense. they want those in washington to work together. they also want them to coordinate with governors around the country to do what's right for the people at large. not necessarily what somebody may think is hard right or hard left but what's right for most of the people, what is common sense, and what the people deserve from their elected leaders. >> let's do some math here florida governor rick scott, i'm no fan of that guy-his approval numbers are in the tank. i guess a

signed richard schneider, executive director for government affairs." the vietnam veterans of america wrote: "we like hagel. we think he is a greater guy and having a combat veteran in there would be a good thing." hagel is a longtime member of the visa lee gong. he served after he returned from vietnam. he is a longtime advocate for the veterans and especially for veterans exposed to agent orange. our organization has consulted with him, among others, on various national security matters. having said that the american legion is prohibited by our congressional charter from endorsing any candidate for elected or appointed office." vietnam veterans memorial fund: jan shrowtz wroting following:, >> when he was the number-two manage at the veterans administration, he had just thrown out of his office some people who were demanding that he stop his support for the design for the vietnam veterans memorial. his integrity and toughness were impressive then. embog qualities have grown since. long before he became a senator, mr. hagel was an infantryman in vietna

we have margaret brennan from cbs news, howard schneider and john harwood. >> thanks. >> i would like to jump in if there are any questions you like to ask of the conversation we just had. >> i have a question when it comes to the relationship to those you are implying. -- employing. it seems like when you talk to people looking for a job now or who have looked, the new understanding is that a corporation providing you with health care or any kind of benefits is really an add on. the companies seem to want you to keep you temporarily employed or up to just the level where they would have to provide you with something more beyond hourly pay. is that the new understanding between workers and corporations? has that model changed? >> i do not think so. we still invest in $1 billion in training for the company. our health care plans have changed to be more competitive. for new employees, the pension plans have changed to be more competitive. but we still like having a ge company. we still think culture is important. its means something to be a general electric employee. >> i worked for a g

schneider's making it a priority in michigan. tomlin has made it in west virginia. even in a tight budget, republicans and democrats are focused on high-quality, early childhood education. we want to make sure we can be an effective partner. we should be able to do that for every child everywhere, democrat, republican, blue state, red state. all of us want our kids to do that. that will be better for every state. it will be better for this country. that is what high-quality early trotted education can deliver. i hope you are willing to part with us to make that happen. let me close with this. there are always going to be areas where we have some genuine disagreement. here in washington and in your respective states. there are more areas where we can do a lot more cooperating then i think we have seen over the last several years. to do that this town has to get past its obsession with focusing on the next election in some of the next generation. all of us are concerned about our politics both in our own parties as well as the other parties. at some point we have to d
