or in sherrod's case, never.y something called hot cognitions which is my band in college. decisions influenced by exciting or stressful conditions which adults are better at resisting. or are we? i was not good at resisting these hot cognitions last weekend. >> i woke up that morning in a barrel of royal jelly. sherrod, you are a child at heart and a child in brain. do you agree with this? how old are you? >> i'm 38. >> are you 38? >> that's right, baby. >> you look young. >> do you believe this idea about 24 is the new adult? >> i think it always was an adult. i don't think 18-year-olds were ever considered an adult in my house at least. you are still a child in my house. >> that severely limited your dating pool. >> kind of. but it kept me fresh. >> i think he is still a kid. at 38? come on. what does it take like a $50 million fees ability study to figure out that it takes 25 to figure out what your life is? that's what happens. you do all of these crazy things and we all did crazy things. then we wake up and

you saw that with shirley sherrod. chris: well said. you said we steam reach a consensus of racially triggered violence when president obama commented on the case who said if he looked like a son that looked like trayvon. >> this is one of those subjects that so difficult to talk about because there are so many land mines. i'm curious to know what he thinks. he has given a speech offer race. and i think we want to have a conversation. in a way it's an opportunity to sort of level the playing field. let's talk these things through. my particular with this particular case is there has been such a rush to judgment and there is this assumption that there are things there that might not be there. we just don't know that. >> the first time he spoke on this he said as a father this is what my son would look like this. >> the question is can he, should he say anything more since this is a case under investigation yet to be take on the the garage yet to know -- to the grand jury. let's talk about the clip you played, his afeel the core decency o

ohio democratic senator sherrod brown has frankly always campaigned to the issue of economic fairnessnd to every election he's ever won. thank you very much for joining us. >> great to be back, rachel. thank you. >> we were talking a moment ago about the 2006 elections and having minimum wage referenda on the ballot when senators like claire mccaskill in missouri and you in ohio were elected. do you think that made a difference in your race? >> yeah, i think it does a couple things, gets some people out to vote that might not have been planning to vote because they can go out and vote themselves. it's not just the minimum wage worker, it's the one right above minimum wage that usually gets bumped up. the reason that it works is it tells you something about the character of the candidates because politics is not really left, right, center and compromise and all of that. electropolitics is about whose side are you on? i'll stack myself up against any opponent who's against the minimum wage and let them justify why they're against the minimum wage, why they're for tax cuts for the riches

what last night show it's not hyperbole it's a force trying to drag us back. >> you have sherrod brown doing well. you have bill nelson. how can the democrats capitalize on this to make sure they don't lose this advantage? >> i think they should just do the right thing. doing the righthing means standing up for planned parenthood and believe women should have access to birth control. mitt romney tried to tell us that women don't care about access to birth control. they are much more concerned about the federal debt. i don't think so. >> joan walsh, could this keep the senate in the hands of the democrats. is this a big enough issue because i don't think the republicans can resurrect themselves, i don't think the etch a sketch will work this time >> no. >> the president said it right ifis message that you're not some special interest group that's out there. >> no. >> what do you think? could this really make a big play for the senate and could this be the key issue that would keep senate in the hands of the democrats as far as the majority? >> it's looking that way. it begun to look goo

you have got sherrod brown, who's doing very well in ohio. it's a seat the republicans definitely want. you have bill nelson on the same issue in florida. two different parts of the country but the issue same to women's health. how can the democrats capitalize on this to make sure they don't lose this advantage? >> i mean, i think they should do the right thing and i think doing the right thing stands up for planned parenthood and the idea that women should have access to birth control and safe, legal abortion and to expose the extremism of the other side. mitt romney in wisconsin tried to tell us, women don't care about access to birth control. they are more concerned about the federal debt. i don't think so. >> no. >> joan walsh, could this keep thsenate in the hands of the democrats? is this a big enough issue -- because i don't think the republicans c republicans can resurrect themselves. >> i don't think that the etch a sketch will work for mitt romney this time. >> no. >> the president said it in his message, you are not some special in

nominee is ten points ahead of clare mccaskill, 51-41 and the most amazing one is in ohio, where sherrod, incumbent democratic senator is trailing josh mandell, the treasurer 44-40. usually the undecided goes against incumbent, 20 point defeat in ohio of brown of the democratic senator, but right now, you have the following states which have democratic senators and republicans are leading. virginia, where allen is ahead, florida, nebraska, where john bruining is at. missouri. montana, where denny ray burg is ahead and wisconsin tommy thompson is ahead and ohio. and even in some other states like michigan, they're within five points, north dakota as a likely pickup. >> when we're talking about a shift. how many seats do you think will shift over, some will obviously keep their seats and we've had an unusual level of retirements, and tell us what you see the makeup of the senate being after november. >> a lot can happen between now and then, but if you look at the current polling and project it. you're looking at a republican gain of ten seats, and a probable loss of two. and we might lose

senator sherrod brown is asking for $100 million in federal aid for distressed communities all around the country, and he's trying to get dhl to at least donate the air park to the city. >> there's hurt. there's a sense of betrayal. >> "betrayal" is a strong word. >> dhl came in and made promises, and i don't think they lived up to their side of the bargain. that's the past. we can't dwell on that. we need to move forward. dhl, we hope, is going to help us with the air park. >> in the meantime, the sugartree ministry soup kitchen is expanding. >> we're actually building-- remodeling our room over here, adding 200 more seats. >> that would be about double what you're doing now. >> exactly, we should be able to feed about 350 people a day. >> you can talk about possible medical options. >> dhl workers in their meetings just heard that the state unemployment benefit fund went broke last week. the federal government rushed in with an emergency loan of $500 million just to keep the checks coming. the feds are also spending $4 million here to train workers in computer skills, but that doesn

you know, i remember having conversations about sherrod brown in ohio back when john kasich got elected and there was this terrible ohio backlash and worrying about that seat and he's doing well and it's with the support of women. you have tim cain in virginia. it's not just president obama who is being void by this support. it's key democratic senators in tough races. i see this continuing. i don't see there's really anything they can do at this point that they want to do to turn this around and say, you know what, we were wrong about this. this was settled in the '60s, we apologize. i think it's too late. >> ruth, how important is it for president obama. he came without a video message talking about planned parenthood. he's going right at the republicans right now. that's about as aggressive a statement as you can make and he's putting be republicans on the defensive. what does it mean? >> it means he knows he benefits. look, he's at 60% with women and mitt romney is at 30%. clearly, this is a settled issue. this is not an issue that's up in the air. should women have basic access to

as senator sherrod brown, my colleague from ohio has been one of the most outspoken champions for manufacturingjobs being created, particularly in the automobile industry and it really gets back to this presidential campaign, because president obama said we're going to stand by the automobile companies and in doing so, we're going to put people back to work. we knowç it's happened in ohio where 1 out of 8 jobs are in the automobile industry. you'll remember governor romney at the same time said if we did that, helped the auto industry, then the whole auto industry was going to virtually disappear. he was wrong and the president was right. >> governor, the president took on the reality of our job situation when he talked about the jobs report on friday. i want to play a portion of that for you. >> our economy has now created more than 4 million private sector jobs over the past two years. more than 600,000 in the past three months alone. but it's clear to every american that there will still be ups and downs along the way and that we've got a lot more work to do. >> the ups and downs the presid

as they did back during the -- >> shirley sherrod. >> yeah. >> just lay back a little bit and let themand scream and make themselves look ridiculous but don't validate what they are saying. >> rude, i actually agree with you on this as your official obama apologist.

saying we can't have a rush to judgment who called weiner a -- abnaweimer who steam voked shirley sherrodted. the done he will gang doppleganger might be sending out as many as possible to poison any potential jury pool. that's why we are seeing this. it doesn't matter they are telling contradict occur stories. they will prejudice jurors who could be called to the case. >> i don't get why there hasn't been an arrest or an investigation. >> no. the grand jury is going to -- will find out if they recommend a trial or not. an indictment. but the thing is, you know this is what we have had to all of our right-wing friends. we have not saying throw him in jail. we are saying give him a fair trial the martin family deserves, a fair trial and walk away if he gets cleared. >> that's right. >> if you are a law and order conservative and you have no problem with a guy who shoved a cop and was arrested for it get carrying a concealed 9 millimeter and shooting an unarmed kid, that's not very police friendly. >> we have to flag rose anne she tweeted zimmerman's actual arrest. >> that's so wrong even i

shirley sherrod will tell her story about how she learned, i was telling my story the way you're goingss solutions and free enterprise and putting people to work. >> you didn't answer will's question, which is how much of what your philosophy is reflects what was going on in the administration. >> my philosophy of using business-based solutions to fight both poverty and pollution, creating green jobs, putting people to work in green industries is exactly what the president ran on. my mature views are the views of the administration. and so the reason i wrote the book, we are now living in a situation where the information system is very sophisticated but the wisdom system is not. >> we're going to keep talking about this through our commercial break as well and into the 8:00 hour. got to take a break. we're back in just a moment. stay with us. r... and pure natural flavors. coffee-mate natural bliss. from nestle. add your flavor naturally. ifif y youou'r're e lolookokinio geget t totogegethther, yoyou u cacameme t to o ththe. bebecacaususe e heherere a at, wewe'r're e ononlyly a abob.

i also want to knows sherrod brown. the senator who arranged for this room.t just arrange a room. he also is one of the senators who is more engaged with tax policy than anybody else. .. wealth should bear its share. amazingly enough the republican party of 1912 adopted some element of that proposal. over the ensuing 100 years the party seems to have wrestled with the issue that it may not have come down in the same place. but a proposal of 100 years ago to remind people this is not a new conversation. we are not arriving at this point without a lot of backup, a lot of history and frankly a lot of frustration. getting fair taxation, getting i.d. of an equitable tax policy to the forefront even of the popular debate is one of the great challenges of our time. we have seen for a variety of reasons to be edging toward a point where that might happen and i give compliments to paul ryan, the house budget committee chair, because he has for some of these issues and gone to what any people see as extremes but has force folks to talk about policy in a way that they h
