tv The Last Word With Lawrence O Donnell MSNBC September 21, 2015 7:00pm-8:01pm PDT
7:00 pm
pope. this group of members of congress will be instructed to show up when the doors open and to fill the first three seats on either side of the aisle. three seats on both sides. that's how worried leadership is about their members desperately trying to touch or get a photo op with the pope. and those congressional bouncers are not just going to have the eliot engel aisle hogs to contend with, there's pope francis. for lack of a better term, he's a touchy pope. not touchy as in testy, he hug, he holds hands. he does not shy from human contact. between pope francis, man of the people, and congressional aisle hogs these designated aisle blockers are going to have their hands full on thursday. pray for them. that does it for us tonight. now it's time for "the last word with lawrence o'donnell." >> luckily for the aisle hogs they are not changing the rules permanent permanently. just for the big day. scott walker's final words as a presidential candidate today were to attack donald
7:01 pm
trump. donald trump hasn't had time to strike back at scott walker because he's busy tonight having a twitter war with bill o'reilly. and frank rich will join us to explain the importance of donald trump. >> today i believe that i'm being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race. >> scott walker, governor of wisconsin, is dropping out of the race. >> i will suspend my campaign immediately. >> what's changed? >> the debate taking place in the republican party today -- >> when the folks of iowa found out the true facts of the job you've done in wisconsin all of a sudden youtubed, number one, now number six or seven in the polls. >> it has drifted into personal attacks. >> you went down the tubes. >> what changed? >> donald trump happened. >> and ben carson to a lesser extent. >> i would not advocate that we put a muslim in charge of this nation. >> the trump style candidacy, the ben carson candidacy. >> sure, donald trump seems
7:02 pm
racist. >> with this in mind i will suspend my campaign. >> he wants the republican party to coalesce around alternative to donald trump. >> i encourage other republican candidates to consider doing the same. and then there were 15. today republican presidential candidate scott walker redefined leadership. >> today i believe thattism being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race so that a positive conservative message can rise to the top of the field. with this in mind, i will suspend my campaign immediately. i encourage other republican presidential candidates to consider doing the same, so that the voters can focus on a limited number of candidates who can offer a positive, conservative alternative to the
7:03 pm
current front-runner. >> and so wisconsin governor scott walker stopped his campaign in the hope of stopping donald trump. seven months ago scott walker was the front-runner in the des moines register poll of iowa republicans. scott walker was at 15% in that poll. and donald trump long before announcing his candidacy was down to 1% in that february poll in iowa. in january on this program i suggested that scott walker was looking like the tim pawlenty of this campaign. four years ago tim pawlentpawle like scott walker, appeared to have the best republican resume in the field but tim pawlenty fizzled on the republican stage as a spiritless public speaker and debater. scott walker turned out to be a much less authority tative or compelling public speaker than even tim pawlenty, so who knows how low scott walker would be polling today if donald trump didn't happen.
7:04 pm
of course, donald trump did get into the race. and in the latest cnn/national poll donald trump is the front runner with 24% and scott walker registered at less than half o 1% in that cnn poll. and so now we have the latest republican strategy for stopping donald trump. have hopeless republican candidates drop out of the race and leave trump to fight four or five candidates who have a realistic chance of winning the republican presidential nomination. will it work? joining us now frank rich, author of new york magazine's cover story this week, donald trump is saving our democracy. this is the most thoughtful and thorough analysis of the trump candidacy written so far this campaign season. frank, thank you very much for joining us. and first of all, congratulations on the big wins for veep last night of the emmys. you took away a bunch last night. >> thank you very much. great to see you, lawrence.
7:05 pm
a fun night. escape into fake politics, fictional politics from the real circus that's going on. >> well, this is awful close. >> i know. i don't know if we can top it. >> what do you make -- reading your article before scott walker dropped out today, was the perfect ramp into scott walker dropping out today, it turns out. the analysis of how trump has taken over this campaign for the republicans seem to make today inevitable just as it made the rick perry outcome a while ago inevitable? >> yeah, i think one of the things that trump is doing with all his bull in the china shop antics and, you know, everything we know about him, he's exposing, even if inat verdict tantly just how weak the other candidates are. steve schmidt said, he emasculated jeb bush.
7:06 pm
and scott walker, you said he. didn't even rise to the level of tim pawlenty. it's amazing but he was, as you know well, the great hope. he was the man who tamed liberal wisconsin, went up against the unions and, what, less than 1% in the poll sns? just incredible. >> you also say in the piece one of the things about the trump is doing is that he is -- he is wreaking this havoc on the status quo while actually having no chance of ascending to the presidency. he is really messing things up within that party and isn't going to end up with the presidency. >> right. you can't -- no matter how you slice it you cannot be president of the united states, you cannot win a national election when you've antagonized women, african-americans, hispanics, asian-americans, muslims. i mean, the list is endless. but along the way to the
7:07 pm
republican convention he's creating this havoc that we're seeing now. i would argue, also, he's creating havoc in the democratic party because his sort of blunder bust decisiveness is showing up the caution of hillary clinton. >> and you also mentioned that he's causing problems for both parties on the whole campaign financing picture where he keeps talking about being self funding, he keeps making fun of republicans who are dependent on big money and democrats who are dependent on big money contributions. >> exactly. you know in the first debate when he said essentially i bought the clintons, got them to come to my last wedding by contributing to them, that sort of krystalized, i think, for a lot of the american public the clintons' problems with the clinton foundation and also his continued rant about i don't answer to lobbyist, i don't have big donors. he is calling attention to
7:08 pm
citizens united an the strangle hold it has in terms of these big donors better than any democrat could. and it must be making people like karl rove -- i'm sure it is making them insane. >> we are now at another one of those thresh holds where people are wondering if trucht r trump campaign has peaked because if the latest cnn poll trump is down eight points in the poll. he was up at 32%, now down 8 points from that. it brought on this exchange we're about to see on fox news can bill o'reilly tonight. >> why is trump losing steam? >> well, i think what i would be more comfortable thinking out of this poll is maybe he's leveling off. again, same margin of error, 4 or five, plus or minus five points. to think that he's down eight, i suspect he's probably not down eight but he's down some. sort of what you would think after watching him in the debate. he didn't have a great night. he may indeed be leveling off
7:09 pm
now and that could be the prelude to a general slow decline. >> and no surprise, frank, donald trump home watching that started tweeting very angrily at the o'reilly report saying, why don't you have knowledgeable talking heads on your show for a change instead of the same old trump haters. boring. so that's -- >> great television critic on top of everything else. >> that's how the republican front-runner is spending his evening. here we are with that question again. seeing the first significant drop in a poll for donald trump. and the question becomes, has he hit that ceiling? >> we don't know. he's been, you know, pronounced dead ever since he insulted john mccain's p.o.w. record and one of the points in my piece is it's always a turning point for trump. every single -- you thought to lose the first debate by many, the second debate by many. i don't know. i wouldn't predict it. i would say you can't fight something with nothing. and where is this dragon slayer
7:10 pm
in the republican party who is going to vanquish him. now you have a splintered field that no one is getting traction. we're hearing about marco rubio, constantly what we heard months ago about scott walker. he's serious. he's got policy chops. he's a great story waiting to happen, great young leader. why is he in single digits in the polls after much acclaimed appearances at debates? jeb bush, it's not there. so there was a carson bump, now there's a fiorina bump. i don't think anyone seriously believes they're going to be the nominee. so they've got a problem. >> could the problem extend to donald trump actually getting the nomination? >> there is -- i don't think we can say it can't happen. if they don't have anyone to fight him with, it could happen. we just don't know. there's so much time between now
7:11 pm
and the convention. but what i do know is this, he is not somebody who goes quietly into the night. if he feels he's being robbed or people are ganging up against him, he's going to scream bloody murder. and so are his followers who are basically another version of the base that followed sarah palin. and so the republican party needs those voters, ever what one may think about them. so he's got a lot of leverage, and, you know, if he doesn't lose fair and square in his eyes, it's a mess. and also that pledge he signed, you know, to reince priebus saying he wouldn't run as a third-party candidate is worth about as much as a certificate from the defunk trump university. >> frank rich, that will be the last word on it tonight. appreciate it, frank. >> thank you. coming up, it's day two of the republican debate. the serious republican debate

if properly vetted that you wouldn't have a problem voting with someone who is muslim provide the person agree with you politically? >> they would have to go through the long hard process, a long tough road, greta, i the decan you. i would have no problem with it, no. >> that was donald trump tonight on fox news at the end of day two of the debate within the republican party about whether a muslim could be president of the united states. it began yesterday on "meet the press." >> can you imagine supporting or being comfortable if a muslim
7:17 pm
ever became president of the united states? >> i can say that, you know, it's something that at some point could happen. we'll see. i mean, you know, it's something that could happen. would by comfortable? i don't know if we have to address it right now but i think it is certainly something that could happen. >> you said you had no problem putting a muslim in our cab bet. >> some say it has already happened, frankly. >> donald trump couldn't get through the subject without once again suggest that president obama might be a secret muslim. then came republican presidential candidate ben carson. >> should a president's faith matter? should your faith matter to voters? >> i guess it depends on what that faith is. if it's inconsistent with the values and principles of america, then of course it should matter. but if it fits within the realm of america and consistent with the constitution, no problem. >> so do you believe that islam is consistent with the
7:18 pm
constitution? >> no, i don't. i do not. i would not advocate that we put a muslim in charge of this nation. i absolutely would not agree with that. >> joining us now msnbc political analyst and columnist for "the daily beast" and wendy davis and john r. mcarthur, president and publisher for "harper's" magazine. wendy davis, hillary clinton went straight at this as she has whenever the republican goes into these strange territories. it's one of those things where it's a completely unnecessary controversy that the republicans have drummed up for themselves. >> it's true. and what's fascinating is that they seem not to have learned from the last presidential election cycle, where they're exclusionary conversations created a real problem for them. and clearly hillary clinton is seizing on the understanding that most americans do not
7:19 pm
support the zenofaux bibb nationalist arguments presented by most of the republican candidates right now. >> let's look at this poll indicating the american public's view on this, who they could vote for based on various categories. catholics, 93% say they can vote for a catholic, a woman, 92%. black, 92%, hispanic 91%. jewish, 91%. now to the next drop, below the 90s. that's mormon at 81%. that became relevant four years ago during romney's campaign. gay or lesbian, 44% would vote. evangelical christian, 73%. muslim down at 60% which is right above athiest and 58% and the very worst thing you could be is of course a athiest socialist. >> bernie sanders, at 47%.
7:20 pm
>> so, again, this is one of those things that only the republican campaign could have walked in to. >> yeah. you know, it's really perplexing because the american public has moved past this. i mean, those -- >> p poll results were very striking. we talk about mitt romney being a mormon. it was a nonissue in 2012. we have past this because of a country. not because everybody knows article vi of the constitution prohibits a religious test of a higher office but because we have grown as a people. so it's another reminder that today's republican party in some respects is mired not onlm in t 20th century -- but we awe religious bigotry. as ben carson said, inconsistent with the constitution,
7:21 pm
somebody's faith by definition, regardless of what they're like as an individual and human being, inconsistent. that is about a least american idea in politics today. people talk about republican, we're pro america, go america. that's not what america is now. america today is that we do not allow or tolerate this kind of bigotry in our politics. >> john mcarthur, one thing that has happened in the last generation of politicians, they've all become religious exhibitionist, they are all eager to tell you about their relationship to god and their religion. donald trump very eager to tell you about his presbyterian credentials and all that stuff. none of them say that that's a private matter, that's something i'm not going to discuss. >> yeah, i would bring up barack obama. i mean, not as muslim but as kind of a not very serious christian. he had to work very hard to
7:22 pm
present himself as a christian candidate, precisely because of his heritage and his african father. and the dance that he performed with his former pastor was a strange, strange thing to watch. i don't take his christianism that seriously. i think he was doing it largely for show. i don't think he's deeply religious president or deeply religious man. he's certainly not a muslim. but you have to present yourself as a religious person. and i disagree with john. i think that the mormonism was a real problem for mitt romney. southern baptists, as i think you know, as wendy knows, there are southern baptists who would sooner cut their wrist than vote for a mormon. >> but he won overwhelmingly in all of those southern baptist areas. he lost -- >> a lot of people didn't vote. people simply didn't vote. they weren't going to vote for a
7:23 pm
mormon. >> but he won so-called southern baptist states. >> overwhelmingly. >> mitt romney is in this story tonight, by the way. tweeting an hour ago saying, of course, no religious test for the presidency. every faith adds to our national character. wendy, that's what you would expect to hear from someone whose religion, john's right, was brought up anyway by certain people during the primary on the republican side. >> no question. and i think that mitt romney understands that long-term this is damaging for the republican party. and i think there are a number of people who feel that way and are horrified to see the direction that the dialogue is taking in the republican primary debates. >> john, on the issue of barack obama's religiousity being fake -- >> exaggerated. >> then they all are. i mean, barack obama has presented as convincing and full a christian faith as any
7:24 pm
president we've ever had. >> yeah. i mean, i think he actually has -- there are some things to suggest that he actually, you know, has become more of a christian and not just after he went into politics but after he arrived in chicago and started dealing with the churches when he was a community organizer. look, there's really only a couple of presidents in recent history who had what you could describe as a deep faith. george w. bush and jimmy carter. the rest of them, including, you know, ronald reagan, were cafeteria christians. you know, they picked and choose. >> i do not understand the basis on which we invade the minds of these guys and say, i think this one is truly religious and that one isn't. i mean, i know priests who have doubted the existence of god while they are priests. >> all i can say is two weeks ago i was -- i'm writing a book about jimmy carter. i went to his church in plains, georgia, and i heard for the
7:25 pm
second time this summer him teach sunday school. and there is no doubt about the depth of his -- >> that's a hard place to fake it. >> we're going to take quick break. we're going to be back. our next guest coming up says there is now, he's going to figure it out mathematically, a 75% chance the united states government should shut down next week over planned parenthood funding. and carly fiorina paid a visit to "the tonight show" right here in this building tonight and, yes, she said a word or two about donald trump. we'll get a sneak preview of that. it's more than the cloud.

7:27 pm
7:29 pm
all of the republican candidates want to defund planned parenthood. many are willing to shut down our government to do it no matter the consequences for our country. i'd like them, along with the republican candidates, to meet the mom who caught her cancer early thanks to a screening or the teenager who avoided an unintended pregnancy because she had access to birth control or the survivor of sexual assault who got emergency contraception. >> that was hillary clinton this weekend at the new hampshire democratic party convention. congress now has exactly nine days to pass a budget and avoid a government shutdown. the most contentious issue that could lead to a government shutdown is funding for planned
7:30 pm
parenthood. despite the looming deadline the house will not be back in session in thursday when the pope speaks before a joint session. before the house left on friday the house once again voted to defund planned parenthood. that bill is not expected to pass the senate and, even if it did, i'll it would not have enough vote to be veto proof. tomorrow the senate will vote on a bill banning abortions after 20 weeks. here's what harry reid had to say about that legislation. >> 20-week bill is just a way for senator mcconnell to pander the extremists in his party who is once again holding government hostage so they can attack the health of women. this legislation is going nowhere. >> on the campaign trail marco rubio spoke to kcci, cbs affiliate in eye oh warks about why he wants to defund planned parenthood. >> now what you've done is you've created an industry. now what you've done is created an incentive for people to be
7:31 pm
pushed into abortions so the tissues can be harvested and sold for profit. i think you've created an industry now where you create the situation where very much you created an incentive for people, not just to look forward to having more abortions but being able to sell that fetal tissue for making a profit off of it. >> joining us now stan, a contributor for his magazine. back us wendy davis. wendy dais, yovis, your reactiot marco rubio's statement there about what he perceived women's incentive to have an abortion. >> i hope women all over this country are listening to that kind of dialogue. i think that what the republicans are doing on this issue, once again, is endangering the republican party and damaging it long term. they are talking about cutting off funding not for abortion care. they're talking about cutting off funding to women seeking
7:32 pm
breast cancer screens, contraceptive care, hiv and other std screens, and they're willing to
shut down the government to do it. we know in texas what the consequence of that action is. we saw this exact chapter written in our history book there. and as a consequence of it, over 150,000 real women lost the only health care that they had. our medicaid birth rate shot up. it cost taxpayers over $130 million in one year alone in extra medicaid birth costs. so not only does it harm real women, it costs taxpayers more. it makes absolutely no sense. and it truly is political demagoguery of the very worst and most dangerous kind. >> stan, you've made a mathematical calculation here that there is now a 75% chance of a government shutdown next week. describe the dynamics that get us there. >> well, i actually started back
7:33 pm
in july saying there was about a 1 in 3 chance or 30% chance. but every time there was another issue we added to it, it just started to make it worse. at this point you've got to say there's a three out of four chance that the government will shut down. and it's only because we've added this politically toxic take no prisoners, highly emotional issue like planned parenthood. you can't compromise on this one. this is a buy their. it's either yes or no. if it was a budget issue, you could compromise somewhere in between, but you can't do that with planned parenthood. shutting down the government over it really makes very little sense. >> this is what jeb bush said about this in iowa today. >> i defunded planned parenthood when i was governor. i -- i -- [ applause ] we actually redirected funding away from sex education, kind of traditional sex education to abstinence education. >> we've come a long way from his father being a supporter of
7:34 pm
planned parenthood. >> indeed we have. his mother as well. and i think, again, it shows the direction that the party is headed. and it's not in touch with american people. and american values. the polling shows that americans very much support the non-abortion care services of planned parenthood. americans very much support the whole services, including abortion care that planned parenthood provides. they understand that they're appealing to a small base of voters in the republican primary. the question is how do they come back from this? how in the world do candidates who have expressed the anti-immigrant, anti-women sentiments that they've expressed in their conversation thus far possibly come back and attract middle american voters who want instead to be hearing about what we're going to do to keep college costs low, what we're going to do to close the wage gap, what we're going to do to increase the minimum wage and
7:35 pm
to create more family supportive environments in the workplace? these are the conversations that are taking place on the democratic side of the aisle. these are the things that hillary clinton has been talking about from day one. and they are reflective, i believe, of american's value, not what we're hearing on the republican side. >> wendy may be right, lawrence, but you've got to remember that after the last shutdown two years ago the republicans won more seats in the house and took over the senate. they won nine seats in the senate and took over the majority. so there are a lot of republicans in the house in particular who are saying what's the downside? we shut down government last time and we ended up picking up seats, winning over the senate. what's to make anyone think we won't do the same or at least as well as we're doing now? so what's the political downside we show our constituency, our base, the base that wendy talked about that we're all for them, that we're going to the mat, and even though it ultimately can't be successful given the dynamics of the process these days, that doesn't mean they won't give it
7:36 pm
a shot and shut down the government to try to show that they were willing. >> and wendy has a point that you can energize certain supporters and certain congressional districts by doing this. but on the national level, in a presidential campaign, it seems to me one of the -- big downsides is you get people like marco rubio talking about what he believes the incentives are, the workings of the minds of women who have abortions. he's actually trying to portray this as some kind of profit-making scheme for women going in to planned parenthood to have abortions as if they're somehow participating in this and there's not a woman you can talk to who has had an abortion who doesn't consider it a very grim thing to have to end up choosing in their lives. >> a very serious decision that i don't believe any woman confronts without giving incredibly serious thought and reflection to. and for him to assert that women
7:37 pm
are somehow having an inducement to become pregnant and have an abortion for the profit is so absurd it's almost unmanageable that someone would even say such a thing. >> stan kollender, we're going to break it there. appreciate it. coming up, in tonight's rewrite, donald trump and fox news. and next, what do donald trump and vladimir putin have in common? carly fiorina answered that question for jimmy fallon on "the tonight show" tonight. we will have a preview of that next. there's no one road out there. no one surface... no one speed... no one way of driving on each and every road.

7:41 pm
>> donald trump has recently said that if vladimir putin says he wants to meet with trump when he comes here. and that he wants to sit down and have a conversation with him. you've met putin. >> i have. the two of them have a lot in common, actually. but we'll just leave it at that. do you do an imitation of putin? i could tell you if it was good or not. >> just basically talk like this. and that's all. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> he was kind of like bursting out of the buttons in his shirt. he's kind of a barrel chested guy and proud of it. >> if he's wearing a shirt, it's a good day. >> it says here the full interview airs on nbc tonight after your late local news. if you needed me to tell you that, boy. up next, in the rewrite, donald trump proven wrong by a major general in the united states army.surprise !!! we heard you got a job as a developer! its official, i work for ge!! what? wow... yeah! okay... guys, i'll be writing a new language for machines

7:45 pm
if you're a fox news watcher and donald trump supporter you already know everything you need to know about army sergeant bowe bergdahl. >> we get a traitor named bergdahl, a dirty, rotten trait traitor, who, by the way when he deserted, six young beautiful people were killed trying to find him. >> it's true what donald said. >> a traitor. >> and of course bergdahl's father who some people seem to think is as much of a traitor as his son. >> the reason i said that robert bergdahl looked like a muslim is that he looks like a muslim. >> that's it. case closed. the guy's a traitor who got six soldiers killed when they were searching for him. that's after bergdahl walked away from the base in afghanistan and into the arms of the enemy.

all of the people who reached that conclusion without actually investigating the case now have a big problem. that big problem is major general kenneth r.dahl who actually did investigate the case. general dahl interviewed 57 witnesses in building what could be the prosecution case in a court-martial of bowe bergdahl. on friday general bahl testified at a preliminary hearing in the case. he said that after interviewing bowe bergdahl and 56 other witnesses he believes that sergeant bergdahl has been truthful. general dahl said, he absolutely believed the things he was perceiving were true, the general said that sergeant bergdahl's beliefs were, quote, unwarranted but genuinely held. the story general dahl told is that sergeant bergdahl left his base with a plan to walk 18 miles to another base forward operating base. bowe bergdahl wanted to complain to the commanding general at the
7:47 pm
other base about problems back at his base, problems that bowe bergdahl thought could endanger his platoon. sergeant bergdahl believed he would be able to get a meeting with the commanding general if he arrived at the base in such a shocking way. general dahl says that bowe bergdahl probably would have been allowed to speak to general if he had made it to the forward operating base. instead, sergeant bergdahl was captured by the taliban and held in captivity for five years. also testifying at that hearing on friday was terrence russell, one of the military's top debriefers of prisoners. terrence russell said that sergeant bergdahl's treatment by the taliban was the worst that he had heard of any american prisoner of war since vietnam. mr. russell said, the level of wildly inaccurate speculation about sergeant bergdahl is outrageous. he did the best job he could do and i respect him for it. general dahl said the six
7:48 pm
soldiers killed search for bowe bergdahl is the stuff of mythology. general dahl said no soldiers were killed in the search for bergdahl. general dahl said sergeant bergdahl did not desert to join the taliban. general dahl did not say whether bowe bergdahl should be court-martialed but he did say, quote, i do not believe there is a jail sentence at the end of this procedure. i think it would be inappropriate. now we know that donald trump is not going to rewrite his stories about bowe bergdahl to include everything that major general kenneth dahl has now said about the case. donald trump will probably choose one of two options. one, simply to stop talking about bowe bergdahl or, two, just keep saying the same things about bowe bergdahl, just keep making stuff up. >> when we get a traitor named bergdahl, a dirty, rotten
7:49 pm
traitor, who, by the way, when he deserted, six young beautiful people were killed trying to find him. >> it's absolutely true. >> the general investigator in the case says not a traitor and no one was killed trying to find him. what will ump doctdonald trump ? sfx: drum beats mother nature can turn in an instant; sfx: drum beats don't turn back. ♪ introducing the new 2016 ford explorer. be unstoppable. ♪ this is my fight song...

7:53 pm
you're free to focus on growing your business. centurylink. your link to what's next. press" chuck todd of broke this news about a possible biden presidential run. >> a little news this morning about joe biden and the potential candidacy. i want to tell you about one myth that sources of mine want debunked and that's this idea that jill biden his wife is not onboard. in fact that is not true. vice president wife is very much onboard for 2016 run should the vice president decide to do it. >> chuck todd wrote for nbcnews.com on sunday that jill biden is 100% onboard with a presidential run. later sunday james gleason, confirmed in a statement that, of course, dr. biden would be onboard if her husband decides to run for president but they haven't made that decision yet.
7:54 pm
in a new interview with "america," the national catholic review released today, vice president biden says a decision on presidential run may not come in time for him to run and still win. >> we're just not, you know, not quite there yet and it may not get there in time to make it feasible to be able to run and succeed because there are certain windows that will close. but if that's it, that's it. but i -- it's not like i can rush it. >> we're back with john alter, wendy davis, and john macarthur. wendy davis, he's going to have to make this decision within the next few weeks, it seems for various deadlines. the polling indicates that your candidate suffers mightily with joe biden in the race. we have cnn polls showing hillary clinton at 42%, bernie sanders, 24%, joe biden 22%.
7:55 pm
when you take joe biden out of there she pops up to 57%. so it seems like they're going after the same voter. >> she certainly does better at the outset if he's not in the race. and i think that the thing to really pay attention to in those numbers is that even with the talk, the increasing likelihood that vice president biden might join the race, she still is significantly ahead of both him and bernie sanders. i think that speaks great volumes to the trust and faith that the democratic primary voters have placed in mrs. clinton's candidacy. >> john macarthur, what do you make of the dynamics of the field now? >> i think hillary clinton is out of gas. i wrote this in a newspaper column recently after watching her on msnbc interviewed by andrea mitchell and i see her fading and i see her even if
7:56 pm
she's forced on us in the primary process, losing in the general election to jeb bush. i think the democrats, the party managers should be thinking at an alternative and the alternative i propose was al gore and elizabeth warren. i think biden is going to be viewed as a retread. it allows bush to run against obama as opposed to another candidate. and gore has already beaten the bushes. he's acceptable to the party regulars. and warren would rally all the diseffected sanders voters who are going to be very angry when he bets pushed out of the race. so i think the party, if you're as horrified by the idea of a bush restoration as i am, a bush dynasty, you got to come up with another solution. hillary clinton is not the one. not going to win. >> but john macarthur, you look at the republican field now and bush dynasty doesn't look like a terribly scary prospect right now.
7:57 pm
>>ee, i don't see jeb bush being the republican nominee. i do think a democrat would have trouble with a marco rubio or john kasich, kind of a bush without the baggage. so it's not going to be a cake walk for the democrats. it's just too early to know whether hillary clinton is out of gas. she might be, she might not be. we've seen so many cases in recent cycles that you and i have covered where things look so different in january than they did the previous september. and then they look different again in march and april from the way they looked in january. the problem are the deadlines. as joe biden indicated. >> what are the real deadlines? >> the real deed deadlines are december. he doesn't actually have to decide, or al gore, have to decide by october/november. but by december you have these filing deadlines for the big primary states that come up in the winter and spring of 2016. and so they do have to make some kind of a decision by then or
7:58 pm
they won't be on the ballot in those big states and can't get the delegates to get the nomination. but there is nothing making joe biden have to decide before hillary clinton testifies on these e-mails in october. and where al gore or somebody else to get interested they have a couple of months to make a decision. >> and wendy davis, in this cnn poll which showed donald trump with his first decline in -- still front-runner but going down, hillary clinton still front-runner and going up. >> exactly. >> it's the first time we've seen her go up in one of these polls. >> that's exactly right. i think it's because she's speaking to the issues that american people care about. she's talking about income inequality. she's talking about racial injustices and the criminal justice arena. she's talking about creating a workplace where families have an opportunity to take leave if needed for childbearing or to take care of a loved one. she's talking about making sure that we protect women's access
7:59 pm
to reproductive rights. she's talking about closing increasing -- excuse me -- the minimum wage. these are the issues on the minds of everyday americans and the more they hear her speak out on those, i think the greater their confidence becomes in her candidacy for president. >> john, what about that? here's this cnn poll where she's going up. >> well, i think she's so tied up in knots with the democratic party establishment and wall street that when somebody -- sanders has been very polite up to this point. if he decides to go after her more directly about her relationship with, you know, i'm more concerned about her relationship with people like roger altman and the wall street crowd that they raised money from, the clinton global initiatives that we talk about so -- we don't really talk about it seriously, are all about
8:00 pm
shaking down campaign donors. it's not about doing non-profit work. >> i mean, i -- i got to take issue with that. raising money for good causes. >> it's 11:00. if you will stay here at the table we're going to finish this conversation online another few minutes but right now it's got to be the end of this show. thanks for being on the show. we're going to continue the conversation. before we go, programs note. hope francis arrives in washington tomorrow. msnbc special coverage of pope francis in america will be led tomorrow by brian williams beginning tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. eastern. chris hayes is up next. tonight on "all in" -- >> i will suspend my campaign immediately. >> from the summer of trump to the fall of walker. >> i encourage other republican presidential candidates to consider doing the same. >> scott walker becomes the second major republican candidate to drop out of the race.

Following the rally seen in the previous session, stocks showed a substantial move back to the downside during trading on Wednesday. With the sharp pullback on the day, the Dow and the S&P 500 ended the session at their lowest closing levels in over two months.
The major averages finished the day just off their lows of the session. The Dow plummeted 800.49 points or 3.1 percent to 25,479.42, the Nasdaq plummeted 242.42 points or 3 percent to 7,773.94 and the S&P 500 tumbled 85.72 points or 2.9 percent to 2,840.60.
The sell-off on Wall Street came amid concerns about a potential recession after the yield on the benchmark ten-year note dropped below the yield on the two-year note.
The inversion is widely seen as an indicator of a recession, although data from Credit Suisse shows the economic downturn typically does not occur until almost two years later.
The yield on the closely watched thirty-year bond also showed a notable decrease on the day, tumbling to a new record low.
The strength among treasuries and the subsequent drop in yields came as a disappointing batch of Chinese economic data led to renewed concerns about the global economy, inspiring traders to seek safe havens such as bonds.
Traders will be given a clearer picture of the strength of the U.S. economy with the release of an avalanche of economic data on Thursday.
Reports on weekly jobless claims, retail sales, and industrial production are likely to be in the spotlight, although data on regional manufacturing activity, labor productivity and costs, business inventories, and homebuilder confidence may also attract attention.
The Labor Department released a report this morning showing import prices in the U.S. unexpectedly showed a modest increase in the month of July.
Import prices rose by 0.2 percent in July after plunging by a revised 1.1 percent in June, while economists had expected import prices to come in unchanged.
The report also showed an unexpected uptick in export prices, which crept up by 0.2 percent in July after falling by a revised 0.6 percent in June. Export prices had also been expected to come in unchanged.
Sector News
Energy stocks turned in some of the market's worst performances amid a steep drop by the price of crude oil. Crude for September delivery climbed off its worst levels but still tumbled $1.87 to $55.23 a barrel amid concerns about global energy demand.
Reflecting the weakness in the energy sector, the Philadelphia Oil Service Index plummeted by 6.2 percent, the NYSE Arca Natural Gas Index plunged by 4.4 percent and the NYSE Arca Oil Index sank by 3.5 percent.
Worries about the outlook for global demand also contributed to a substantial pullback by steel stocks, as reflected by the 4.5 percent nosedive by the NYSE Arca Steel Index.
Banking stocks also moved sharply lower amid the drop in bond yields, dragging the KBW Bank Index down by 4 percent to a seven-month closing low.
Technology, retail, transportation, and brokerage stocks also saw considerable weakness amid the broad based sell-off on Wall Street.
Other Markets
In overseas trading, stock markets across the Asia-Pacific region moved mostly higher during trading on Wednesday. Japan's Nikkei 225 Index shot up by 1 percent, while China's Shanghai Composite Index rose by 0.4 percent.
Meanwhile, the major European markets showed significant moves to the downside on the day. While the U.K.'s FTSE 100 Index tumbled by 1.4 percent, the French CAC 40 Index and the German DAX Index plunged by 2.1 percent and 2.2 percent, respectively.
In the bond market, treasuries moved sharply higher, more than offsetting the pullback seen in the previous session. Subsequently, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, slumped by 9.9 basis points to 1.581 percent.
Looking Ahead
Trading on Thursday is likely to be impacted by the deluge of U.S. economic data, which could have a significant impact on the outlook for future interest rate cuts.
On the earnings front, Cisco Systems (CSCO) and NetApp (NTAP) are among the companies releasing their quarterly results after the close of today's trading.
Retail giants Walmart (WMT) and J.C. Penney (JCP) are also among the companies due to report their results before the start of trading on Thursday.

Tyler Ford Answers Your Questions About Identity, Style, And More
You asked, they answered.
We asked the BuzzFeed Community what they wanted to know about agender speaker and writer Tyler Ford. They had plenty to ask — and Tyler had plenty to say.
When did you realize you were agender?
Who inspires your fashion and style?
How do you stay positive and confident?
Confidence is something that I work at every single day. It does not come naturally and it does not come easily. Even when I know things about myself to be true. I know that I am loved and I know that I am enough and that I am great — I don't always feel that way. Sometimes I have to work myself up into feeling that way. It takes a lot of practice and it's a very personal journey. It's something that I have to find within myself and pull out of myself every single day.
How do you combat day-to-day dysphoria?
Do you have any tips for dealing with dysphoria when you're not allowed to transition or present as you'd like to?
Who are your role models for the creative and activist work you do?
"For sure Laverne Cox and Janet Mock is great too. They are brilliant. They, I think Laverne especially, stradles the line so well between being a mainstream media icon and doing amazing trans activist work. That is something I also strive to do."

A story of Auburn who is in need of money and of Owen who is in need of help. Auburn ends up on Owens door where a sign hangs 'need help will pay $100 per hour'. Auburn ends up helping Owen on his gallery opening, their love story continues from there onwards.
I loved the concept of Owens gallery and i loved how the book showed us some of his paintings 💖
At first i was so frustrated at Auburns situation and so badly wanted them to be together so bad! But the plotline was so good it left the reader (Me) satisfied in the end 💕
The conclusion was soo good, I was so curious to know how Owen knew Auburn before they met and the story made me sob so hard! 😅😭❤

Roy Hodgson: England coach foresees Premier League winter break
- From the section Football
England manager Roy Hodgson believes the scrapping of FA Cup quarter-final replays could be the first step to a Premier League winter break.
The Football Association approved the move to ease English football's congested fixture list.
Hodgson suggested the FA and Premier League had been in discussions about the best way to achieve the objective.
"I think it's all designed eventually to maybe providing that elusive winter break," Hodgson said on Thursday.
"There's been no doubt that one of the stumbling blocks has often been 'hold on, you have all of these replays and you're asking us to cut our season down'.
"I think it's only positive that this sort of move has been made."
He added that a break would be aimed at "freshening minds up".
The top divisions in France, Italy, Spain and Germany have winter breaks.

Math Model Sees Success
A mathematical model developed by a new faculty member at Mizzou could become a tool for early detection of vascular abnormalities of the eye. Professor Giovanna Guidoboni, who holds a joint appointment in electrical engineering, computer science, and mathematics, says her research began in 2010 while she was a professor of mathematical sciences at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). That's when she met her collaborator, Professor Alon Harris, director of clinical research at the university's Eugene and Marilyn Glick Eye Institute. Harris had invited Guidoboni and 11 other colleagues from the School of Science to visit his clinic, where he demonstrated a collection of instruments that could non-invasively measure many characteristics of the physiology of the eye.
"Alon said that in spite of this huge amount of data he had been collecting for decades, he could not make sense of it because there are so many factors that are interacting with each other, and that only mathematics could tell us why a measurement in one person is okay but the same measurement in another person could lead to blindness," Guidoboni says. "He said we need some models based on physics and the physiology of the system that can help us disentangle all of these factors, so this is how we started."
Envisioning a New Approach
Guidoboni says her research team focused on developing a model for glaucoma because it is one of the leading causes of blindness, and there is currently no cure. However, there are some treatments capable of slowing down or arresting the progression of vision loss. She says one treatment is to lower the intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye, but a quarter of patients do not respond. Other patients do not exhibit an elevated IOP and yet display damage to the eye that is typical of glaucoma—studies have indicated there may be a vascular contribution to the disease. Guidoboni says her team decided to try to quantify the effect of blood flow through the eyes.
"From an engineering perspective, one can see the vasculature as an electrical pipe or conduit. You have the blood pressure, which pushes the blood through the pipes, so it is the driving force," she explains. "The intraocular pressure is a pressure acting on the outside of the pipes; if you increase the pressure the pipes will constrict, making it difficult for blood to flow through." She says these "pipes" also have different characteristics: arteries are like garden hoses with strong walls that are difficult to compress, while veins are like thin straws that compress easily. Another factor that had to be included in the modeling was vascular regulation, or the ability of the arteries to actively change their diameter in order to accommodate changes in blood flow to ensure tissues get the amount of blood and oxygen they need.
Guidoboni says her team, which includes mathematicians, engineers, computer scientists, statisticians, ophthalmologists, and physiologists, was the first to create a mathematical model of the interaction between the blood pressure, intraocular pressure, and vascular regulation in the eye, allowing the team to change certain variables and determine theoretical outcomes. Her team also collaborated with researchers at Polytechnic University of Milan, Italy and the University of Strasbourg, France.
"I like to say we used mathematics as a virtual lab where we can explore ideas and hypotheses offline, since it is not possible to manipulate blood pressure or IOP easily in people without causing problems. And even if you could, there are so many other variables that it is not easy to isolate one factor and be sure that what you see is due to a change in that particular variable," she says.
Verification in Sight
Her team published their findings in Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science in 2014 and presented their findings at a number of conferences, but Guidoboni says their work remained theoretical until it was independently verified by a paper published in the British journal Ophthalmology in 2018. She says her team found the paper, published by a research team in Singapore, by chance while they were preparing for some talks and wanted to see what was new in terms of studies relating to blood pressure, the IOP, and blood flow. She says the Singapore team analyzed data on nearly 10,000 people and performed some statistical analyses to look for correlations among the factors involved—blood pressure, IOP, and glaucoma.
"What was interesting was the last two pages where they confirmed our theoretical predictions," Guidoboni says. "In this sense, our model generated a testable hypothesis. They found people with low blood pressure and high IOP were at higher risk for glaucoma, which is what our model predicted. The scientific arguments in support of their findings are exactly what we predicted in our model, namely that the combination of low blood pressure and high IOP leaves the patient with a reduced capability of blood flow regulation and an increased susceptibility to venous collapse."
She says the model offers an opportunity to develop a more individualistic approach to diagnosing and treating not just glaucoma but other diseases that manifest in the eye such as diabetes, hypertension, Alzheimer's, and other disorders that show alterations in the eye before extensively damaging other organs. Guidoboni says her team has secured a patent to develop their mathematical model into an early, individualized diagnostic tool for vascular abnormalities.
"Having these tools that can detect early pathological changes in the eye could be useful for many people suffering from these diseases, because an early diagnosis would also mean early treatment, with much better outcomes," she says.

Teachers and instructors of all kinds use the library in important ways. The staff of the Rowan County public school system are especially important to us, as are their students; we want all the people who go to school in our region to have the best opportunities possible, so your Rowan County Public Library is glad to support public K-12 educators.
In addition to the online and digital resources we provide, including our dedicated pages about college and adult education, we try to maintain open communication and a good working partnership with our local educational institutions. If you're a Rowan County public school teacher, you can get a special library card to use for your classroom; teacher cards have a slightly higher limit on item checkouts, so you can borrow more books, audiobooks, and periodicals specifically for your programs. Because we know that lesson plans often change on the fly and managing a classroom can mean unexpected challenges, our teacher cards also come with a grace period for most material types. That means returning a book or movie a few days late won't result in lost charges right away, since you're using them for educational purposes.
Patrons with a teacher card can also use that account to publish their bookbags as book lists in our catalog. That means you can pick and choose from our materials to design customized reading lists for students! Teacher book lists are public, so you can simply give the link to your students and let them research or reserve library items directly from your list. If you're planning something for summer or winter reading or for a program throughout the school year, get in touch with us about it and we'll work with you on those projects. We might be able to lend items to your school library, accommodate an interlibrary loan, or lend duplicates of popular items according to your needs.
RCPL holds its own classes, too: Lessons are available on software and apps designed just for schoolteachers, and we can give you a hand learning about up-and-coming trends for schools as well as current technology. We're always trying to add new programming and technology that assists educators, so if there's something we can do for you, be sure to let us know!
To obtain a teacher card, speak with any library staff member at our front circulation desk to receive an educator form. You'll need your current teacher ID, and you must have a normal adult library account in good standing. Please note that we offer teacher cards only to full-time Rowan County public school teachers; teachers from other counties, substitute teachers, teacher's aides, retired teachers, and student teachers are not eligible for these privileges (sorry!).

The rectus femoris (green marker) is one of the quadriceps muscles, but it is anatomically and functionally unique to the rest of the muscle group. The other quads simply cross the knee and attach to the femur. They are strictly knee extensors. The RF is biarticulate. It does not attach to the femur but crosses the hip joint and attaches to the pelvis, making it a hip flexor as well as a knee extensor. As a hip flexor, it plays a significant role in the swing phase of various forms of locomotion.
If you have ever had quad tendon pain above your knee cap, it is likely connected to tightness and/or weakness in the RF. If you have ever pulled your quad, the RF is the specific muscle that you injured. How do we prevent these injuries? The RF must be strong and flexible. For flexibility, see the video below. As for strength, how do we get strong quads? Just squat, right? Not in this specific case. To make a muscle strong, we need to put high load on it in a lengthened position. Because the RF crosses the hip, the hip flexion that occurs in the squat position means the muscle is shortened. This is shown in the picture above. Muscles do not produce a lot of tension in a shortened position, so squatting does not provide the same structural stimulus on the RF that it does on the rest of the quad muscles. Squats, pistol squats, step ups, lunges (front leg), these are all exercises that we use to strengthen the quads, but they actually neglect the RF.
The RF is lengthened when the hip is extended and the knee is flexed. This occurs under load on the back leg of a lunge. People typically think of lunges as being focused on the front leg. The demand on the glutes and the vastus muscles (the other 3 quads) is certainly the highest on the front leg, but the RF gets the best stimulus on the back leg. Of course the specific execution of the lunge is important. Here's a few tips for strengthening the RF.
1. Keep weight on your back leg and push your back foot into the ground.
2. Lower into the lunge under control and stop the descent yourself. This portion of the movement is where you get the most muscle tension. You can touch your back knee to the ground but don't just fall and rest on your knee.
3. Keep your torso upright to avoid hip flexion and shortening of the RF.
It is easy to neglect the rectus femoris in your strength training. Do an exercise for the RF regularly to make sure you don't fall into that trap. There are other options, but lunges are a simple solution. Lunges don't have to be heavy. They don't have to be done multiple times per week. But don't go months on end without doing them, so you don't neglect a very important muscle.
Note: the rear foot elevated split squat lengthens the RF even more than a lunge. But it tends to take load off the back leg, and it may even stretch out the RF too much for a strength exercise. If executed correctly, it is certainly an option as well, but I prefer the simpler solution, which is lunges.
So having a flexible and strong rectus femoris should prevent pain above the knee cap as well as quad pulls. Lunges may be the long term key to eliminating these problems, because they strengthen the RF. But it's important to understand that the strengthening is a response to a high amount of stress. With healthy tissue, stress is good. But when the tissue is unhealthy, the stress of lunges very well may be too much. It may make the problem worse. For those who currently have some pain, we have to find the correct amount of stress to progress the tissue toward being healthy again. For that purpose, use the rehab exercise in the second video below.

"Butcher girls" benefiting from #GreaterIllawarra funding
Thirroul Junior Rugby League Club will continue to develop and promote the game for young girls in the area after securing their $2,000 share of our #GreaterIllawarra funding round for May.
For winning this month's community vote, the Butchers will receive $2,000 that will go directly towards attracting more young girls to rugby league and league tag, as well as providing programs to improve their skill level.
Club President, Ryan White, said the club has supported teams for young girls for five seasons now and sees this as a real growth area for the club and competition.
"There is no doubt that that the support of women's rugby league from the NRL and representative levels has prompted fantastic growth in the game. In just 12 months, we have gone from 80 to 123 female players, which is fantastic for the club," Ryan said.
"This funding from Greater Bank will help us to continue to promote ladies league tag and rugby league in the area and run clinics and additional programs to continue to improve the skill level and understanding of the game.
"We hope this will be a real catalyst to drive more numbers and grow the game for young ladies in our area."
Both runners-up for the February round, Ctrl+Alt+Del FIRST LEGO League Robotics Team and Wollongong Wolfden will each receive a $500 grant to go towards their operational costs.
Greater Bank's Regional Manager, Greg Creagan, said the program continues to have such a positive impact on community groups across the Illawarra.
"The #GreaterIllawarra program is a great example of how a small but generous funding contribution can go a long way towards supporting and promoting a community group," said Mr Creagan.
Our winner this month is doing great things to promote women's sport, and we are confident that through this funding they will continue to grow the sport and drive greater participation over the next 12 months and beyond. | Greg Creagan, Greater Bank Regional Manager
The #GreaterIllawarra program continues in May, with voting now open until Wednesday, 26 June. In the running this month to share in $3,000 will be Figtree High School PDU, Still Trucken Festival and Minnamurra Public School.
To submit your vote either go online to greater.com.au/greaterillawarra or visit any Greater Bank branch.
"It doesn't take long to submit your vote, but collectively the effort you make will mean a lot to the winning organisation in terms of the programs and services they are able to offer the local community," Mr Creagan said.
Greater Bank is also calling for nominations for future funding rounds. Community groups can do so by visiting greater.com.au/greaterillawarra and telling us in 100 words or less how the organisation is helping to improve lives of locals.

Welcome OpinionPanel Readers! Please scroll down to see the email template and a list of articles perfectly picked out for you.
I wrote a post over at The OpinionPanel "How to Land a Top Internship." I wrote about my advice on obtaining a top level internship, which will help you leap frog your friends and propel you into your desired field of work.
Read the article here: How to Land a Top Internship this Summer
The article begins like this:
Landing a top internship is the best route to gain first hand experience that will help you build a decent portfolio of work. Over the course of 3 years in your studies, you will have 2 decent summers for getting a good couple of months interning, and the chance of growing as a professional and individual.
Key point of the article:
Here's the area where most job seekers fail, learn this now and you'll be well ahead. They are so me focused in their approach, they forget how their presence will benefit the company or person. So keep this in mind: If they take you on, how will it move them forward? It's ok to be general, but if you have specifics e.g. increase sales / reduce costs / make customers happier, it would be great to note these down, and make sure you tell them.
As promised, I said I would share with you the script I'd written when I worked with James Scouller executive coach and author of the Three Levels of Leadership.
I've set it up so you can view the email as an image below or drop your email here and I'll send it right to you!
First time here?
If you're visiting from my recent article on The OpinionPanel, welcome.
I'm a recent Birkbeck grad and I write about obtaining work I love through doing internships. By proving myself, I transition into paid work. This is a blog on personal entrepreneurship for university students, recent university grads, and everyone else in between.
This blog is me ranting about a few things and trying to get the points across. Getting started is more important than being the smartest person in the room. Making mistakes is ok. Action is more important than reading 50 blogs. Ordinary actions get ordinary results.
Here's a quick guide to get you started:

February 19, 2014
The snow has piled up so much that it is hard to imagine that we will be able to dig in the garden any time before July. However, the snow always melts and we are all surprised by how quickly it will disappear when the weather warms in March and April.
Around mid April, we usually can plant broccoli, cabbage, spinach and lettuce in the garden. Broccoli and cabbage plants need about 6 to 8 weeks from when they are seeded until they are ready to set out in the garden. If you do the math, now would be a good time to start these plants in the house. Spinach and lettuce can be started in the house or they can be seeded directly into the garden. If you start them in the house, you probably only need 4 to 6 weeks for them to be of sufficient size to plant in the garden.
When you start flower or vegetable plants indoors, you need about 6 to 8 hours of sunshine coming through a south or southwest-facing window. If the plants don't get enough sunlight, the plants tend to grow tall and tend to flop over. This creates a plant that struggles once it is in the garden. The alternative is to set up a light fixture that is suited for growing plants. We have 2 foot and 4 foot long fluorescent fixtures that we sell in the store. These lights put out a spectrum of light that is very close to the spectrum of natural sunlight. By growing plants under these lights, you will get a nice compact plant. For the seeds to sprout properly, they also need to be kept warm. Temperatures in the mid to upper 60's should be sufficient to get the seeds to sprout. If your house is colder, you can use a heating mat to help with the sprouting of the seeds. The seeds are placed in their containers and then the containers are set on the heat mat. The mat warms the container and this, in turn, helps to speed up the germination of the seeds.
You will also need to use a soil called a seed starting soil. This type of soil contains no "dirt". Seed starting soil has peat moss in it as the basic ingredient of the soil. Using a peat based soil helps to prevent a disease called damping off. This disease attacks the seeding and causes the seeding stem to turn black at the soil line and ultimately the seeding falls over and dies.
If you are going to use any containers from last year for potting up your seedlings, make sure that the containers are washed and disinfected before you pot up your seeds. If those containers came in contact with soil from the garden, you could be infecting your seedlings with the damping off disease.
Well, that is some of the basics on how to start your plants from seed. If you have any other questions stop by the store and we can walk you thought it.
Well, that's all for this week. I'll talk to you again next week.
