Just flat out refuse. But heres the problem outside of the Republican Caucus rooms and quiet gop rooms where the big money men make their deals, there are real live American Families who will be unnecessarily hurt. Thousands of teachers and educators will be laid off. Tens of thousands of parents will have to deal with finding childcare for their children. Hundreds of thousands of americans will lose access to primary care and Preventative Care like flu vaccinations and cancer screenings. And the longer these cuts are in place, the bigger the impact will become. The impact is clear. But republicans are putting their heads in the sand about how bad its going to get. Do you have a sense of how many jobs will be lost as a result of this xwester . I do not. Really, mr. Speaker . Youre the guy in charge. And you dont know . Well, here it is. The Congressional Budget Office says there will be 750,000 job losses. Another independent Economic Group says 700,000 jobs losses. No matter how you slice it, its bad. Real bad. Real families hurt. And the details of what would happen are starting to come in. And speaker boehners home state of ohio, these cuts would kick 2500 kids out of head start. Cause 5,000 fewer kids to get vaccines and cut 823,000 from a program to help seniors get meals. Speaker boehner, is that what really voters elected you to do . Crack down on preschoolers and seniors who need to eat . Folks, republicans will have a hard time selling these horrific cuts to people back home. But some may not have to. These cuts would also shut down the only airport in congressman paul ryans hometown of jamesville, wisconsin. I guess thats one way to avoid facing voters. Make sure you cant get home from washington. Joining me now is James Peterson and jarrod burnstein. Jarrod, these cuts seem bad no matter what party youre from. Whats your analysis of this . Obviously, bad. For the economy, as you mentioned, remember you dont hear this enough. We have an Unemployment Rate thats already way too highly elevated, stuck at 8 overall for africanamericans, much higher. And what does this kind of policy do . It takes an economy thats already not growing quickly enough and subtracts 85 billion of spending in 2013. That shaves about half a percent off gdp growth. So whether were talking about a macro level, the numbers i was citing, or a micro level, how this plays out on the ground, you know, poor families losing educational slots, head start slots, childcare slots, nutritional programs for women, infan infants and kids, absolutely the wrong time. This is a particularly terrible time for this kind of nonsense. Its never a good time. Fwh but this is particularly egregious. Let me ask you dr. Peterson, the president said something that i want to play you. I want to raise another point to you. He called out the gop for refusing to budge on these cuts. Listen to what he says and then i want to ask you a question. I know that some people in congress were effectively opposed any idea that i put forward, even if its an idea they once supported. But rebuilding infrastructure is not my idea. Its everybodys idea. This town has to get past its obsession with focusing on the next election instead of the nextall elected officials and concerned about our politics in our party and the other parties. But at some point we got to do some governing. Professor peterson, i mean has the gop just given up on being a governing party and just say were going to have they just given up altogether on being part of the governing and making this country work . Im not sure what the long term political gain of that, but its clear that if this sequestration goes through on friday, it looks like it will, its the beginning of an era of us astart austerit austerity in states. Remember, this is such an abstract concept when put in place at the debt ceiling talks. It was literally put in place to force political figures to come to the table, to come to compromise and to make decision thats are benefit for the future of this country going forward. That has failed to happen and we have to look at the obstructionism that we see on the part of the republicans and at the end of the day, we have to really think is this the direction we want to go in as a nation . The cuts here are just too sloppily placed. There is nothing strategic about the sequester. Thats why you see so much pain and different communities and different states. Thats why you see governors coming against it. The challenges here are many. And we need all hands on deck. Jarrett, when you look at me, were talking about real people. Forget republicans, democrats, forget the beltway. Real people are going to have to deal with this. Lets go out into america. Lets go into the mainland america. Cleveland, ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer says spending cuts would be felt here as a headlinheadline louisville, kentucky and indiana would feel federal spending cuts from defense to parks. New york newsday, 3 billion in sandy aid at risk. When the rubber meets the road, people are bracing for something that is totally unnecessary and unthinkable and on top of pain that theyre already dealing with, i mean all politics is local. Wont stories like this in some how, some way affect republicans . Cant they even hear their own constituents at home . You know, very much hope so. It happens to be the case that 80 of civilian military employees have been and the department of defense are outside of washington. When you talk about Something Like 800,000 furloughs there, youre talking about precisely the cities across the country you just mentioned. One idea that i hear a lot of is as these cuts begin to be felt by real people as were describing in our conversation, theyll get in touch with their members of congress and republicans will back down. But remember, you used a very important word here. You said something to the effect of an unnecessary manufactured crisis. Remember, this is not the way governance is supposed to look, especially at a time when the economy is already too weak. So instead of thinking about how can we help things get better, they keep setting fiscal time on one after another. And by the way, this is not the beginning of awe strarausterity. We already lost over 100 billion in peoples paychecks through the expiration of the payroll tax break this 85 billion in fiscal contraction is on part of that. Dr. Peterson though, it is clear that the American People dont support these cuts in the areas theyre talking about. When you look at the polls, 89 dont want to cut education. 84 dont want to cut disaster relief. 83 dont want to cut food or drug safety. 71 dont want to cut aid to the poor. These are not even close numbers. This is overwhelming majority of American People that dont want these cuts and these are the areas that will be cut starting friday if we dont overt this. Thats right. These cuts will take us to a 50year lull in terms of government discretionary spending. Theyre not strategic. They dont even really address the areas that have to be addressed in terms of the long Term Economic challenges. So, for example, theyre going to work on all these sort of theyre going to furlough the civilian military personnel. That is not the part of the budget that needs to be addressed. Its defense contracts and other spending that needs to be addressed. Theyre talking about making the cuts in education and teachers, police and fire in some states. Those are not the kind of cuts that we need to be making in terms of infrastructure and social safety net. We need to come up with something comprehensive about medicare and looks to the long term. Its no the strategic enough. Thats why were feeling pain in all the different situations. At the end of the day, its another reflection of our hour government is broken. It is operating on the wrong part of the body. Its not even addressing where the ailment is. Jack bernstein and James Peterson, thank you for your time. Thank you. Ahead, the sound of republicans agreeing . Yes agreeing with the president. That hot story is next. And rush says the left has beaten us. But you wont believe what came out next.

Jan brewer pointed her finger in president obamas last year. Shes no fan of the president. She couldnt wait to point that out. But with the automatic budget cuts set to go into effect in just four days, republican and democratic governors gathered in washington this weekend and theyre starting to freak out. Theyre not pointing at the president anymore. Theyre pointing their blame on the republicans in congress. Is it a greater danger to deal with the cuts or a greater dachger for the economy for republicans to give in on raising taxes. We do not like taxes. We dont like increase in taxes. But, you know, we have to be pragmatic. There has to be some type of compromise. But dang it, they need to get the job done. They dont need to leave the public out there hanging. A Tea Party Governor suggesting compromise on taxes . Its not just governor brewer. Other republican governors are telling their colleagues in congress its time to go back to the bargaining table. The uncertainty is harming our states. The sequester was put in place to be a hammer, not a policy. Now were a week away. Find another way to do it. Arizona, too, we got raytheon which we dont know exact wla thats going to give us. Its going to cause us a lot of job losses. We have the federal government over there not doing their job. There should be limited government. I dont like random changes. If you look at our budget, i didnt do across the board cuts. A lot of times politicians are 10 across. I didnt do that. These governors know there are jobs at risk. They know food safety can be compromised. They know the cuts will limit access to health care. And if jan brewer and president obama can start seeing high to eye whats staping republicaopping the hill from compromising . Lets bring in former pennsylvania governor ed rendell. Will republicans in congress get the message . Well, i think it was very helpful. It was coincidental the governors meet in washington this weekend every year. It was coincidental that it came as sequesters are upon us. It was very helpful. I think to hear republican governor saz to hear january brewer say that some form of revenue should be part of a compromise. Look, the question is, Mitch Mcconnell said there is no way hes going to do this. I would like to ask every house member is this is essentially making sure that everyone no matter what their income pays 30 . Pays more than the average working person who pays 28 , the secretary, et cetera. That onlyover 1 million. Who thinks that is a bad idea that a millionaire pays the same percentage of taxes as a sector a guy who builds roads . Does anybody think thats a bad idea . If the republicans were smart, they would haed the message from the jan brewers and scott walkers and say to themselves, look, thats a pretty good compromise because no middle class working people get hit by that. Legality lets go with that. The president is willing to, almost 2 1 2 times as many cuts. Lets get this thing done. But isnt that the point, governor . The point is that the millionaires and the billionaires are not going to be hurt by this at all. Even if you close the hoop holes. But ordinary people, im talking about that mother watching this show tonight that has got to deal with the fact that come friday head starts gone. Im talking about teachers. Im talking about people that have been trying to make ends meet, that all of a sudden everything is going to snap out of nothing that they did wrong, only because of some stubbornness and political brinkmanship. Cant the leaders of this country get it together . Let me add middle class parents who zpend depend on the government to help with their autistic kids. Its stunning that we allowed this crisis, were letting this crisis because of political posturing. Were letting this crisis determine the fate of a lot of people. I know its fashionable now that this really isnt a crisis. Tell the 7 au50,000 people who going to lose theyre jobs according to the cbo, thats not a liberal thinking this is an independent body. The cbo says 750,000 jobs. If im sitting watching this tv right now and one of those people that are about to lose my job, if im one of those people about to be furloughed, if im a mother or father of an autistic kid, it is a real crisis to me. It may be manufactured to somebody on the beltway. And then im reading, governor, that the republicans actually think its good for them politically to let the cuts kick in. Very disturbing to me. Despite numbers, republicans are convinced they are in the drivers seat just as they say the calendar and the law helped obama on taxes in december. I mean were playing brinksmanship while peoples livelihood is at stake . And, you know, its stupid, to be honest, rev. In three weeks or four weeks, march 27th, the government shuts down if we cant find a way to pass more dollars to keep it running. So there is another crisis four weeks down the road. And, look, in the end, and i would besieged president to, although hes done better on this than the republicans, lets not kick the can down the road. Weve got if the sequester happens or if it doesnt happen, we have four weeks until the next crisis. Lets try to do the big deal, the deal that puts another 2. 5 trillion towards that debt. Lets do the big deal. If we did it, rev, the economy in my judgment would explode. All that money thats on the sidelines explodes. I agree with you. Dont kick the can down the road. But dont kick the American People in the backside either. Let me ask you something. You have been governor of pennsylvania. Republican governors and democratic governors seem to say lets compromise. Your a governor. What can governors do . Can they appeal to the Congress People in their state . I mean is there anything with four days left those governors can do to help . Sure. They can say if you dont compromise, were going to call you out publicly. Pz one thing if youre republican of the United States to call you out. Its another thing for your republican governor to call you out. Chris matthews, its hard ball. So the governors have to play hard ball. The clips you ran at the beginning of this segment were essentially calls them out. You had jan brewer sending a message to the arizona delegation, compromise. Lets get this done. And they should call them out. Youre right, play hard ball. You can come on here and call them all out. But call them now. We need to stop this. Governor rendell, thank you for your time tonight. Thanks. Lets hope that it works. The ring wing is now attacking first lady Michelle Obama for appearing at the oscars. Talk about desperate. Give them an oscar for whining. Ill tell what you its really about. And make room. You have new company at cpac. Wait until you see who is joining the cast of characters. Stay with us. A lot us were wondering how ted kruz would react to being compared to senator mccarthy. He is the most notorious figures in political history. A man who was disgraced for falsely accusing government officials of being communist. Last week we found out. Senator cruz once said president obama would be a good president of Harvard Law School because the schools faculty was filled with communists who want to overthrow the government. So did cruz hide from the story . Issue a denial . Maybe an apology . Nope his spokeswoman said, senator cruzs substantive point was absolutely correct. Absolutely correct . Really . That president obama would fit in with harvards communist that want to overthrow the government . But cruz is still seeing red now that hes in the senate. I think president obama is the most radical president weve ever seen. But i think a lot of republicans failed to stand for principle. And contributed to getting us in this mess. Radical . You know what is really radical . Making wild accusations about the president s nominee for defense secretary chuck hagel. It may be that he spoke at radical or extreme groups or antiisrael groups and accepted financial compensation, we dont know. It is at a minimum relevant to know if that 200,000 that he deposited in his bank account came directly from saudi arabia, came directly from north korea. I have no evidence to suggest that it is or isnt. Cruz had no evidence to back any of that up. But he had no problem throwing he has accusations around anyway. Didnt you think we would notice . Nice try. We got you. To turn the page on your cup of joe . Gevalia, or a cup of johan, is like losing yourself in a great book. May i read something . Yes, please. Of course.

And senator rand paul is determined to get to the bottom of it. It turns out those big spenders in d. C. Are just throwing away money on gold fish. If theres a way that money can be moved around, the military spent 2. 5 million on gold fish to see how democratic they were and if we could learn about democracy from gold fish. Learn about democracy from gold fish . I mean whats he even talking about . Turns out, he has no clue himself. A professor behind the research says, senator paul got the funding wrong and the species wrong and he misrepresents the work weve done. Hows that for the new and improved gop . This guys been flooded as the 2016 president ial candidate. Hes a leading speaker at this years cpac conference and making up stories about fish . Gold fish to be exact. Anyone see the problem here . And yet, the right keeps continuing to blame the left for their trouble. It makes me ashamed that we have sunk and descended to this level in our politics in order for the left to have to or be able to advance. They require ignorance. The left has beaten us. They have created far more low information, unaware, uneducated people than weve been able to keep up with. Youre right about one thing, rush, the lefts beaten you. But you and your party are the reason why. Joining me now is angela wry and dana millbank. Dana, a big time excuse from rush. What does it say about the state of the gop . Well, i dont know. I think that perhaps Rush Limbaugh and rand paul and others should be studying gold fish to learn how to keep their mouths shut. Because they seem to dig themselves in deeper and deeper here. Theres been a lot of blaming thats going on every now and then. You think they sort of come to grips with the election defeat. And, no, theyre going to go on saying well, its about the technology. Well, its because the voters were ignore aant. Well, its because the democrats tricked them. Well, there is something about the way we reached out to them, the way the message was. Theyre just not grasping that. The electorate is fundamentally changed to an electorate that is supporting gay marriage, to an electorate that is increasingly latino, that an electorate that is significantly compromised of women. So its a matter of not understanding where the electorate has gone and pointing fingers at everything else. Angela, i always say a fish wouldnt get caught if he kept his mouth shut. But you know, today we learn that the roster for cpac has now increased. We had mit romney, sarah palin, rand paul, allen west, and wayne lapierre. Now im sure well have one that will have you and dana definitely wanting to go hear the great orator, rick perry is going to speak. What do you think, angela . Whoo just kidding. First and foremost, we have to talk about what is going on with the gop. The gop has, i think, a threefold problem. Its the message. Its the messengers and the audienced audience is the person people who dont care to hear what theyre talking about, whether its on cpac or fox or some other media outlet, the message isnt resonating in part because when you look at the changing dem graphics of this country, they have got to at some point Start Talking about social issues because folks vote wholistically. What is the candidate talking about that makes sense to me . How does it impact me . And then at some point we have to address the humanity of politics, compassion and concern for your neighbor. All of which for some reason the Republican Party is so distant from, it just doesnt make any sense. But, you know, i think that cpac is the big conservative, you know, conference. Its their big main event every year. Dana, let me ask you a serious question. Heres a picture of governor Chris Christie of new jersey seated next to Michelle Obama, the first laid yes at the National GovernorsAssociation Dinner last night. Now let me ask you a question. I Just Announced that i just reported rick perry is speaking at cpac. Yet, the gop has still not seemingly got over christie speaking well of the president and working with him around Hurricane Relief because he has yet to be announced as a cpac speaker. How could someone with his high poll numbers, with his high standing with republican polls not be invited to speak at cpac . Its a good question. Cpac is a very important event. I do like to go there every year and cover it. Ill be asking for combat pay from msnbc to do so again this year. And its an interesting question. For years now it has been cpac was essentially the voice of the Republican Party that had gone in this conservative direction. Is that changing now . Are people like Chris Christie going to push back against that . Marco rubio could be a person who could, clearly. I expect him to see there at cpac. I wouldnt be surprised if they close ranks with the new jersey governor as well. The question is are people in the party going to start standing up to this or is it going to be, you know, cpac is quite literally dominated by the Nation NationalRifle Association and the other special interests of the right. Now angela, over the weekend governor bobby jendal was pressed on social issues. He was pressed on social issues. Watch this. Were offering in the Republican Party a different solution which is about growth, not austerity. Its not about big banks, big wall street. Its truly conservative. Is that a chafrpgs can ynge i s. We didnt present a vision showing how we believe the entire economy can grow. Afrngela, you saw he ran awa from dealing with the social issue and ran back to Economic Issues. I mean can the gop deal with social issues and ever deal with the fact that it was not Economic Issues alone that led to their losing last year . Well, lets just say this, rev, if they dont, theyll have a really difficult time winning future elections. Angela wry and dana milbank, thanks for coming on the show tonight. Thank you. Coming up, Michelle Obama, the oscars and the rightwing drama. But theres a twist. Ronald reagans part of this story. Oh, yes and revealing the republican plan, the scam, scheme and steal the election is going on now and we wont let it happen. Stay with us. Aw this is tragic man, investors just like you could lose tens of thousands of dollars on their 401 k to hidden fees. Thankfully etrade has low cost investments and no hidden fees.

First lady Michelle Obama was a surprise guest at the oscars announcing the best picture nominees. But everyone is still talking about that other appearance on late night with jimmy fallon. She and jimmy showed off some mom dancing. I can watch that over and over. First lady is soaring in popularity and the right knows it. So theyre getting desperate. Thats next.

On a night of oscar surprises, first lady Michelle Obama was the big surprise. Her surprise appearance was one of the highlights of the evening. Michelle obama. This has been an exciting year for movies and i want to congratulate all the nominees on their tremendous work. They made us laugh. They made us weep and they made us grip our arm rests just a little tighter. And the oscar goes to argo congratulations. What a way to end the night. But the rightwing went on the attack before the after parties even started. Lets bring in joe madison. Thank you for being here. Karen, some people on the rightwing are losing their minds over this appearance. I mean whats theyre problem . You know, i think its because theyre gjealous. Shes got some moves and look at how good she looked in that dress come on. In all seriousness, you know, every first lady and president , there have been things that theyve done that have been first, right . And so this is a first to have a first lady announce a winner. But its not the first time a first lady has appeared in in the oscars. Laura bush d 1941, Franklin Roosevelt spoke to the audience by radio. In 1981, Ronald Reagan, president Ronald Reagan taped a greetings for the show. These are president s themselves. And laura bush appeared on an oscar show segment answering the question what do the movies mean to you . Watch this. Giant. All of his ambitions have been thwarted except, of course that, big well that comes in. So youve had two president s and a first lady in the oscars. What were they angry about . She picked the winner . Maybe so. And because the winner actually argo had something positive to say about federal government workers effectively doing their job. Im sure that totally incensed them to no end, of course. But, i mean, look, we know this. This is an on going narrative with president obama and Michelle Obama do not get the same level of respect as previous president s and first ladies. No question. Weve seen it before. Joe, Rush Limbaugh really went over the top, though. Watch this. The optics, of course, are what matters. I thought of 1984. I thought that the macintosh ad from the super bowl of 1984 where exact type of scenario except Michelle Obama was actually the dear leader of this obviously a totalitarian state. A lot of people think that this was a giant propaganda effort by the white house to put michelle up there either to have an optic for low information voters who watched this event last night set up the 2014 olympics maybe some people even telling me this that was the opening salvo of a Michelle Obama for president. Now let me show you the ad he is referring to. This is what he compared Michelle Obama, the first lady, giving the award or announcing the award for best picture to this ad. And this was a takeoff on 1984. I mean every time i think rush has gone as far as he can go, he does it again, joe. You know, somewhere i read that envy and jealousy is the weapon of the mediocre. And thats what happened with Rush Limbaugh. He is very immediate oaker in his criticism. Number two, i know a little bit about award shows ago chaired the image awards and served on the committee this year. First of all, you dont invite yourself to be a presenter at an awards show. And kudos to the producer that came up with this concept to have the first lady step out of the governors dinner and present it. You know and, you know, you are absolutely right. Karens absolutely right. I remember the criticism that Jacqueline Kennedy had after following mrs. Eisenhower. Michelle obama is not nancy reagan. Shes not Jacqueline Kennedy. She has established a new standard for first ladies and people on the right, you might as well get used to it. Shes cool. Shes funny. Shes smart. Shes everything that we in our community, weve always known Michelle Obamas. And maybe thats part of the problem. Shes the first lady, karen. Thats right. I want to say, and dont forget, she is the first lady of the United States of america. And just as when laura bush appeared on the oscars, people had the opportunity to see the first lady of the United States of america, republicans or democrat. Part of what is so disgusting about the way the right has really just completely attacked the president and first lady is that they forget that for some people its just cool that the first lady popped out at the end of the oscars. They dont care what Political Party the person is from. I mean dont forget that the presidency is supposed to be about something bigger than our parties. And theyre not running again. I mean they just were reelected. There is no election theyre playing to. Its the first lady at the oscars announcing best picture. A great thing, i think, for american cinema. And be careful. What theyre trying to do and i said this the last time, this is about trying to rewrite their legacy. Right. This is about trying to denounce them and thats why we have to do what were doing tonight, to make sure that there is a counter to that foolishness. Its also about trying to keep that anger and resentment toward the obamas alive, to motivate their base going into 2014. Dont forget. Thank you. Karen and joe, ive got to go. Thank you for your time tonight. Have a great evening. Thank you, reverend. Thanks. Ahead, if you cant beat them, cheat them. The gop plan to steal the election is alive.
