0 the country doesn't trust them any more, they trust me. >> is there any republican hesitation, you and i have watched this game for a long time, hesitation about beating the hell out of an african-american woman again. don't they feel hesitance on the gender and the ethnic front. here they are, old white guys, kicking the hell out of another african-american candidate. doesn't this look good for republicans? >> mostly that doesn't occur to them. it might possibly have occurred to john mccain, whose comments were muted. he said, he said well, i disagree with the choice. but i'm going to do my best to work with her. so he had the right you know, he had the right tone for that crowd. but to answer your specific question, most of them it doesn't occur to them. >> we'll do more in the show tonight3 about$cd republican party. the stupid comments about young guys, sexually aroused or whatever, therefore's there's going to be a lot of rapes. what stupid charges. >> quickly, look at the people that the president has put forth yesterday today in terms of gender and racial diversity. important position. how are they going to have the authority for people to believe what they're saying when he's promoting someone who directly and deliberately misled the public over benghazi? the benghazi tragedy is really not going to go away until we have some answers. really why was there this elaborate cover-up. >> you know, i used to think rand paul had at least a philosophy that you could justify, the ayn rand, obje objectivism and now he's just a poll. the president is struggling toú. the president's]l numbers on also questioned about rice's why not, honesty. let's watch. >> we saw the today statement by the president's people that he was going to get more partisan and that he was going to get more in the face of republicans. this is clearly -- >> this is the first example of that, do you think? >> one of the examples of it and look, i don't understand it. she's a capable, able person. but she went out and lied. not only did she go on television, less than two months before the election and tell a lie in order to protect the president's political position. but she did so at the risk of undermining our relationship with libya. >> the word lie now of course the jay carney, the president, much-respected press secretary is a paid liar. susan rice is a liar. the discourse coming from that side, i don't use that word liar, i don't like it being used. you never know what is in another person's heart. you never know unless you go into a court of law. how do these people get away with talking like this, even on fox? >> because i think they're talk to themselves and i think there's a passionate minority of people in this country who do believe this the problem is it's a clear minority and probably getting smaller as we found out that he is not fit to lead. the only problem is that his vice president, is equally unfit and even more embarrassing. >> what is this, this villainization of the president? what is it about him. >> it's desperation. >> these back-benchers -- >> trying to impress the hardest of the hard-core of their base. not just the base, but the hard-core of their base. >> what's interesting to me is that the president has decided to heck with it. to ignore them. >> the jackals. >> to just to ignore them and to pursue his own vision of foreign policy. don't forget, he just gave that speech where he talked about sort of the post-war post terror war age and he's picked and susan rice and samantha power, two advisers that go way back to the beginning of his national campaign. who believe his vision of how to proceed in the world. and he's basically saying the heck with the right wing hard core base i'm going to pursue my vision of foreign policy. the way i enunciate dd in cairo in 2009. i'm going to try to do it. >> it's the day of the jackal right now. thank you howard and thank you, peter. i've never seen this kind of carping and negativity. who is going to hurt more from this so-called scandal politics, president obama or the republicans? we've got new poll numbers on how americans view these so-called scandals and how the republicans are finding the old gop adage, start each day with a prayer and end it with a probe. and when you hear republicans talk about women, you'd be excused if you thought we were going back in tile. in the last two days alone, we heard two gop senators talk about things that sounded more like 1913. and getting hammered for playing politics, i think it would cost new jersey $2 million a day to have a senator elected in october rather than in november. i've done the math, checked with the senate, there's only six working days in the senate between those two days. i just checked. that's $2 million a day, governor. finally another republican makes the mistake of saying allowed what he really thinks, that republican would be actually really prefer it if african-americans just stayed home on election day. i'm glad somebody on that side saw what the game really was, keep them out of the voting booth. this is "hardball."
