walsh. know, all of this discussion about what is a real -- who is a real hero really distracted from the fact that he voted against a highway bill. only member of the entire illinois delegation to vote against bringing more jobs to the district. we have to focus on the irvs and ignore the craziness that's out there. >> jennifer: she's so good, folks. listen to her. i have to get back to him for a moment. he's like this flaming wildman out there. i just have to ask you he seems to be taking a page from the playbook of georgia senator saxby chambliss who won his seat in part by convincing voters in georgia that his opponent, cleeland, who was a vietnam vet and a triple amputee that he was not a patriot. let's take a look at an ad from that campaign. >> as america phases terrorists a, max cleland runs television ads claiming he has the courage to lead. he says he supports president bush at every opportunity. but that's not not the truth. >> i know you're focusing on the district but seriously

they hammered joe walsh for saying things -- republicans hammered joe walsh for calling it like he sees it. the interesting thing here, wolf, is that joe walsh probably isn't going to win. the district was completely redrawn, it's heavily democrat. he's given the best fight he can. he's being very aggressive. but i standby what joe walsh said and tammy duckworth made his point. when she's in the public and talking to the public, in the district and out of the district, she spends a lot of time talking about her military service, god bless her, but she doesn't spend a lot of time talking about the issues. she talks about joe walsh being wrong on the issues. you can go to her website to get where she stands on the issues, but she did you waoesn't say th campaign trail. >> she said he was the only member of the illinois delegation that didn't vote for the transportation -- >> god bless him for it. >> the president about to sign includes a lot of money for transportation initiatives in illinois. >> and fraud and abuse. >> keeping a lot of student loans down at 3.4% instead of going up. >> w

walsh has never lived up to his responsibilities. certainly he hasn't done it in congress and, you know, for him to bring senator mccain into this, senator mccain is a great american, one i respect greatly and too bad he's again trying to muddy the waters and keep people away from the fact that he's done nothing for the good and benefit of the people in the district. >> one other element in a statement to msnbc congressman walsh said in part, quote, of course tammy duckworth is a hero, i've called her a hero hundreds of times in the past four months just like every man and woman who has worn the uniform, her service demands our utmost respect. uj like most veterans i have had the honor to meet since my election to congress who rarely, if ever talk about their service or combat they've seen, that is darn near all of what tammy durk duckworth talks about. her service demands our thanks and respect but not our vote. question for your the first iraq veteran to be elected to the congress, how do you balance, how do you know when you spoke

joe walsh is trying to keep his seat in congress.said about this woman, his opponent that's getting him in trouble. >>> welcome back. a race for congress in illinois is getting ugly. republican joe walsh says democrat tammy duckworth is playing too heavily on her military career. she demands our respect, but not our vote. >> i'm running against a woman who, my god, it's all she talks about. our true heroes, the men and women who served us, it's the last thing in the world they talk about. it's why we are so endebted and in awe of what they have done. >> here is where it gets ugly. duckworth lost both legs serving in iraq but walsh says she's not a true hero. wolf blitzer asked duckworth to respond to his comments. >> i think mr. walsh is being irresponsible in his words. at a time we have so many veterans coming home. i hope the veterans of this generation talk about the war experiences. they were criticized back then. our war heroes coming home today should talk about their service, they need to talk about the leadership skills they

joe walsh never served. he doesn't know what it's like to leave your friends, your family to go serve for months at a time in 130 degree heat that don't know if you're ever going to see the people who you love again. he doesn't have the right to attack tammy duckworth's service. let me tell you something else. he doesn't even have right to vote as a congressman on veterans issues because he has into idea what it is about. he is a disgrace, absolute disgrace. >> late this afternoon, duckworth appeared on martin bashir's program on msnbc and here is her response to walsh. >> i think that he's just irresponsible in his words and actions. he's trying to distract the constituents from the fact that he has time and again done nothing for the district. anyone who's worn the uniform of this great nation for a day has done more than he's done. it's the fact i've lived an entire lifetime living up to my responsibilities. just like our military men and women and their families every single day. they live up to their re

exactly how many times did joe walsh stay the name? stick around. robert reich was the secretary during the clinton administration and jared bernstein served with vice president biden. explain to me the substance cht what's going on? >> it's actually job growth has stalled. 8.2% unemployment. same as last month, but we also would see that 80,000 jobs were created in june. the average monthly job growth of the last three months has been about 75,000 jobs. a substantial decline from the job numbers we saw in january, february and march. now, it's a similar to a slowdown we have seen in previous years. the hope obviously is that we get more job growth later in the year. it's hard to make good news out of today's job numbers. >> mr. bernstein, where is it headed? i think we're aware of the statistics that since world war ii, no president's been re-elected when the rate has been north of 7.4%. is it likely that 8.2 could get under 7.4 between now and november? >> absolutely not. you never know, but that is way outside anyone's forecast. the most optimist

apparently, congressman walsh feels it's fair game to do so. what is your reaction to the kind of verbiage he's using on the campaign trail and in town hall about your service? >> well, you know, ed, i think it's irresponsible of him. look, the real heroes from iraq in my unit were the men who carried me to safety. risking their own lives to save mine. the real heroes are walking foot patrol in afghanistan right now, and there are real heroes laying in hospital beds in v.a. hospitals and military hospitals across the nation. and really for mr. walsh to denigrate military service is very insulting because he's using it for his own political gain. our 23 million veterans have done more in one day in uniform that he's done for this country. >> what kind of message is the congressman sending to veterans with these kinds of remarks? >> he's trying to muddy the waters. he's just trying to shift the focus away from the fact he's done nothing for the people of the district. he's irresponsible in his words and in his actions. he voted against medicare t

walsh is being irresponsible, his usual irresponsible self.k cast some bad votes and he was trying this past weekend to distract voters away from that. you're talking about the high wheel earlier, that was one of the votes he cast that was so bad. he's the only member of the bipartisan delegation of illinois to vote against the highway bill and he also voted to allow student loan rates to double. he's trying to distract people away from his failures as a congressman. >> this really was problematic, i think, his comments were appalling, absolutely appalling. i was really disappointed that people who were sitting in the audience had an audible reaction, chuckling with him or agreeing, muttering under their breath. you know what i'm talking about. we just rolled the clip. >> i think that he repeats things so much that even if they're not true, they start to sound true. and really, it's again, focusing people away from the real issue, and in the case of veterans talking about their service, i think it's important that this generation of veterans w

and our joe walsh highlight reel. exactly how many times did joe walsh say the name ashleigh? stick around for the "sideshow." robert reich was labor secretary during the clinton administration and jared bernstein served as chief economist to vice president biden. secretary, let me start with you before we get to the politics of it. explain to me the substance. what's going on? what does it mean in the big picture? >> essentially, michael, job growth has stalled. it's 8.2% unemployment, same as last month. but we also see that 80,000 jobs were created in june. that's nothing to crow about. the average monthly job growth of the last three months has been about 75,000 jobs. a substantial decline from the job numbers we saw in january, february and march. now, it's a similar slowdown to a slowdown we have seen in previous years. the hope, obviously, is that we get more job growth later in the year. that's a hope both economically and politically but it's very hard to make good news out of today's job numbers. >> mr. bernstein, where is it headed? i think we're aware of the statis

the final tally, walsh said ashley 90 times. but let's flash back to a year ago.walsh was on "hardball" in the midst of the debt sealing debacle and had quite the strategy about the tea-party deck plan. do you see where this is going? >> hey, chris, let me ask you a question. do you support that, chris? the president's plan is we have to stop that, chris. chris matthews -- hey, chris, hey, chris, hey, chris, chris, chris, chris, chris, chris, chris, chris. i love it, chris. >> 61 name drops for chris while on "hardball." he broke his record with yesterday's interview. that's "hardball" for now. coming up next, "your business" with j.j. ramberg. neutrogena® wet skin cuts through water. forms a broad spectrum barrier for full strength sun protection. wet skin. neutrogena®. great! tyler here will show you everything. check out our new mobile app. now you can use your phone to scan your car's vin or take a picture of your license. it's an easy way to start a quote. watch this -- flo, can i see your license? no. well, all right. thanks. okay, here we go. whoa! no one s

and then there's illinois congressman joe walsh. he had the nerve to hand his opponent who lost both her legs in iraq is not a true hero. >> now, i'm running against a woman who -- my god, that's all she talks about. our true heroes, the men and women who served us, it's the last thing they talk about. >> look, it's bad enough to hear this nonsense. but to have no leadership step up to denounce it is just as bad. yes, we've all said things. but we've had to stand up and say they're wrong. and wrong makes you a real leader if you can call it like it is. thanks for watching. i'm al sharpton.

having said that, does joe walsh have a point? he's a political opponent to you. he clearly believes that you have been -- let's not say manipulating it but deliberately overusing perhaps your military service and heroism and courage which is without any dispute to try and promote your political position. that's to his disadvantage. do you accept if you were guilty of that charge, that would be unacceptable? >> well, i have to say, piers, i've not been talking exclusively about my military service. and, in fact, i think mr. walsh created this uproar because he didn't want to admit to the people in the district that he cast several bad votes last week. and, in fact, he was the only o bucneedob mopmaanpiedernd pdpphe ithisri. again, i suppose i come back to the bigger picture here. do you think the best way to call his bluff, tammy, might be to not mention your military service again, and to now fight him exclusively on the issues, so that he can't argue that? >> well, i've actually been fighting him on the issue, piers. he's the one that's bringing up the military

walsh made the statement in elk grove on sunday. he criticized duckworth by saying other war heroes were uncomfortable discussing their service. duckworth lost both of her legs while in combat in iraq. her camp said walsh's words were an insult to veterans. two groups have started petitions against walsh for his comments. walsh responded saying he has called duckworth a hero hundreds of times, and the controversy is a ploy to distract voters. peterson murder trial will not be allowed to bring into court the bath tub where his third wife, kathleen savio, was found dead. but the jury might still be allowed to see it. the judge left open the possibility that jurors could visit savio's former home.. and might see the tub, if authorities re-install it. the tub was removed after savio's body was exhumed in 2008 death to be a homicide. a prosecution expert is expected to testify the injuries she suffered could not have been caused by slipping and falling in the tub. we have music this midday from the group the royalty ahh, now that's a cle

the bad representative joe walsh walsh a tea party favorite and proud deadbeat dad is now attacking military veterans at a town hall meeting on sunday walsh attacked his opponent democrat tammy duckworth for talking too much about her military service take a listen. now i want to get a woman i mean my guy toss up. the. true hero as the man went to the circus so last state they talk about well miss duckworth served in iraq in two thousand and four in lost both of her legs when her helicopter was shot down by an r.p.g. . but apparently none of this matters to walsh from skipping out on child support payments to attacking america's military veterans. walsh sure knows how to keep it classy. and the very very ugly chick fil a the famed fast food fried chicken chain has been supporting anti-gay groups and anti l g b t equality groups for the better part of the last decade according to reports inequality matters the chain donated two million dollars to anti-gay groups in two thousand and ten alone including just over a million dollars to the marriage and family foundation and according to a separat

and listen to both walsh and duckworth. they're going after each other. walsh started it.l advisors day after day had to take him and almost throw him against a wall and hit him against the head and say, senator, you have to let people know you serve. you have to talk about what you did. he didn't want to do it. wouldn't do it. now, i'm running against a woman -- i mean, my god, that's all she talks about. our true heroes that -- >> he really disrespected 23 million. anyone who has worn a uniform a single day has done more than joe walsh has ever done. >> talk about this. it's ugly. >> i think they're both ugly and i think they're both wrong. and they ought to get off this as quickly -- >> why is he wrong? >> because if you serve in public service, the highest level of citizenship is being in uniform. >> she did. he never did. >> but the next one i think is being is serving in public office, running for and serving in public office putting yourself out to do that. so i think she's wrong about that. as the only person at this table that spent six months in iraq, been around

sort of looking for the modern version of joe walsh. welsh or walsh? >> walsh. >> joe walsh who was the chief counsel i think of that inquiry, who was thought of as above reproach. who was a person of honor. so that became our, our talking point. in other words, we wrote down whack we were looking for. it was that model. and we would like the idea if the person would be republican. in other words that would be even the best that could you get a republican chief counsel and the congressman made that point me a number of times. that that would be the best of all worlds, to show sort of a non-partisan. okay. so that was a criteria. so what we did is, we said, let's -- let's start with -- we had this book. we didn't use anything. so my thinking, my brother's thinking, was, we'd call -- let's call law deans, we said. you know. law deans know people. and we'll call maybe -- you call ten and i'll call ten. and we'll get them on the phone, and we'll lay out this criteria. tell them what we're doing, and we thought for sure they'll come up -- they'll be a name.

and crazy joe walsh is back in the rewrite tonight. since crazy joe never found the time or courage to serve in the military, he now considers it unfair that his opponent actually did. and he is attacking iraq war vet and double amputee tammy duckworth for not trying to hide the fact from voters that she served in the military. i know this sounds crazy. but this is crazy joe walsh we're talking about here. crazy joe is back in the rewrite tonight. the postal service is critical to our economy, delivering mail, medicine and packages. yet the house is considering a bill to close thousands of offices, slash service and layoff over 100,000 workers. the postal service is recording financial losses, but not for reasons you might think. the problem ? a burden no other agency or company bears. a 2006 law that drains $5 billion a year from post office revenue while the postal service is forced to overpay billions more into federal accounts. house bill 2309 is not the answer. zagat just gave hertz its top rating in 15 categories, including best
