Illegal cheokeholds must be hel accountable. I dont believe all cops are bad, i dont even believe most are, but we must deal with those who are wrong as we do with others in the community. We must come together sometimes and say things that are uncomfortable, but we must seek solutions, not just get caught up in the noise on our way to doing thats. Thanks for watching. Im al sharpton. Hardball starts right now. War against whites . Lets play hardball. Good evening. Im Chris Matthews in washington. Let me start this monday night with the latest craziest charge against the president. Its that hes leading a war on whites. I leave it to you whether such a charge if somehow proven would be grounds for conviction and removal from office, but clearly
its part of this impeachment clatter out there from the grass roots. 57 of which want obama thrown from the office. From the loudest of right wing radio to members of Congress Like iowas steve king and minnesotas michele bachmann, to leaders in the Republican House like steve scalise, impeachment varies from do it now to clearly on the table. And the danger to the republicans is that the clown car will outrun the leaders at the very top like the speaker of the house and the new deputy kevin mccarthy. Could the crazy wing of the Republican Party speaking for the Strong Majority of voting republicans and buoyed by what they have gotten on right wing radio so stir the country that not even the top leaders can kwe keep it quiet . And lets not kid ourselves. Nobody likes this clamor more than the democrats who relish the rise of the right within the opposition. If for no other reason than it animates the democrats on their base. Admit all this lies the prospect
that the fuming of the hard right will gel with the politics of the progressives and create such a depressing cocktail that politics in general will take another drop downward and people this november, democrat and republican alike, will not even bother to vote. Michelle bernard is president of the Bernard Center for politics and policy, and michael is a correspondent for the daily beast. Mo brooks who was on the program last week is revving up the red hots in spectacular fashion. During an interview today, he rejected the idea that the gops hardline stance on immigration is hurting the party. Heres his counterattack. This is a part of the war on whites thats being launched by the Democratic Party, and the way in which theyre launching this war is by claiming that whites hate everybody else. Its a part of the strategy that barack obama implemented in 2008, continued it in 2012 where he divides us all on race, on sex, greed, envy, class warfare,
all those kinds of things. Well, thats not true. Who do i start with, michelle or michael . I dont even like talking like this. In fact, i dont even say racial. I say ethnic. This thing about war on whites, whats this guy, he seems like a dignified bloke last week and now hes out there raging with the storm . There are probably people who are listening to what he says and feel that way and feel that he is saying exactly what they exactly what they believe. What do you mean . Interpret this, channel this. Who says the president is leading a war on whites . I think its loudest voices of the far right in the Republican Party believe as well as their constituents believe that somehow the president and probably the people that they view as loving the president , democrats, africanamericans in particular, and latinos as well, are waging a war on whites. Its this old sentiment that the pie belongs to all of us, and by us, i mean white. The pie belongs to all of us. We have this africanamerican president in here. We have latinos who have a stronger voice. We have all these women siding with democrats. Theyre taking something away from us. Are women included among whites . Or i think its an assumption white men of a certain age. White men of a certain age. The men, the people i believe that barack obama referred to years ago when he said people get scared and they cling to their religion. Im trying to narrow this down, michelle. What does it mean . It is it is working class whites and probably also very wealthy whites over 100,000 a year that vote republican and feel that the Republican Party understands their plight and understands the plight of those for whom they see the country as a disaster because people of color are taking away what they believe rightfully belongs to them. Throw this in if you can to the general woodpile of attacks on this president , which is hes deserving of removal, delegitimization, hes smoulz
Something Else, because hes against whites, hes got a problem. Theres an awful lot of them, and its a strange thing to be against politically if you want a majority vote. It goes back to the fact so many whites voted for him. It goes back to the very beginning of the administration, the very beginning of his campaign and the birther talk and all the rest of it, goes back to glenn beck saying in 2009, what was the exact comment, he has an antipathy to white culture . Now its an elected official. Now its getting a little more serious. Hes nobodys fool, glenn beck. You may not like his argument, but hes thought it through. But hes trying to get that 57 . Anybody who thinks this is just being concocted should listen to the voices, besides the 57 of republicans rank and file who tell us they want this guy impeached. Steve king of iowa, the u. S. Congressman, he gladly used Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace yesterday as his megaphone for
his impeach obama bugle cry, and the white house probably couldnt have been happier. Our own chuck todd lampooned the notion that fox was in cohorts to book king in the first place. As chuck said, i think the white house would love if somebody if everybody booked steve king 24 hours a day. Anyway, this is congressman king reacting to reports that president obama is planning to act on Immigration Reform without congress. I think congress has to sit down and have a serious look at the rest of this constitution and that includes the i word that we dont want to say. Where would we draw the line otherwise . If thats not enough to bring that about, i dont know what would be. We have never seen anything in this country like a president who says im going to make up all Immigration Law i choose and drive this thing despite the resistance of congress. Is there a chicken game going on here . Could the president s people be looking at this like, if they want to be crazy, well let them
look crazy . Were making sure everybody seems this behavior. Were going to blast it louder. Hes not going to get away with just playing to the peanut gallery and the red hots. Were going to make sure everybody hears the red hot talk being used on radio and used at those town meetings. Everybody is going to hear it. Absolutely, the president is stoking the fires theyre giving him. As of right now, the Republican Party is the gift that keeps on giving. You look at the clip we just looked at. What theyre telling us between immigration and suing the president over the Affordable Care act is our highest legislative priority is, one, deporting young minors, latino children who are in the country as unaccompanied minors, and forcing the employer mandate of the Affordable Care act to take place now because they dont like the fact that the president delayed it. Thats nonsense because this would be considered relief if this was a republican president. Im just trying to get these businessman time to get used to the new law, republican
businessman a chance. Dan pfeiffer continues to say that the white house is taking the impeachment threats serious la larbly. He did not back down when confronted by george stefanaup almost. Its going to be foolish to think this Republican Caucus would consider impeachment. The speaker told me its not going to happen. Five days before the government shutdown, he said theres no way we would shut the government down over health care, and we did. In the house of representatives. John boehner may have the gavel, but ted cruz has the voice. You dont really think impeachment is possible . When he takes the step to sue the United States, even though hes issuing executive orders in the lowest rate in 50 years, its a possibility. Be ready to ask the question three times because theyll dodge it three times. When phifer does it, he had
three different answers. George kept pushing and pushing. Are you serious about impeachment and every time he had an answer. And he was right, and they better be serious about impeach; i dont know what the cancs are, but they have impeached bill clinton. They would be idiots at the white house not to take this seriously, and you also have to remember. John boehner doesnt run that caucus, that caucus runs john boehner. This is the second showdown hes lost with ted cruz, and theyre having this benghazi hearing. Were going to go round robin and show its not just the people who are crazy but the people with brains. Here is rand paul, certainly a smart guy. He rallied his base attacking president obama as a king after he said theyll yank the loan on immigration since the republicans in congress dont do anything. Here he is. Who does he think he is . I mean, really, hes going to act without the authority of you
or your congressmen . Hes just going to act. It doesnt matter what your opinion is on immigration. I practically think we could do some kind of reform, but you cant do it by royal edict. We cant have a king doing it. You cant have lawlessness. You cant have a president just say, if they wont act, i will. I have a pen, i have a phone, i will act. Thats not what our country is about. Now, theres a sophisticated challenge, which i think is a good challenge. Well talk about who has power and who doesnt. Here is liberal commentator and fox analyst Juan Williams who went off on needham after he said the democratic fundraisers were the only people talking about impeachment. Heres the great Juan Williams. Theres lots of republicans who think this man is a demon, this guy is awful. We have to get this guy out of here any way we can. Hes breaking the law. All the democrats are doing is taking advantage of the fact that you guys have demonized president obama to this extent because its not only doesfund lots of people, especially in
the mijoert community, see it as an attack on the first black president. Think its unfair, so its going to spur their turnout in the midterms which is going to be critical in several races. How are you hearing this impeachment talk . I hear it the same way juan does. He hits the nail on the head. Particularly as a human being, you should see it this wi, bought particularly as an africanamerican, you think about joe wilson screaming at the president , you lie. You think about jan brewer shaking her finger in the president s nose when she greeted him in arizona. And then you look at this and you cant help but think, whats wrong with this picture . Would they do this to a white president . They would have never done this to bill clinton and they hated him. How about the way mitt romney talked down to him in the first debate . A lot of that stuff is subtle. But you feel it. Thank you so much. By the way, i dont think rand paul belongs in the clown car, but he was singing backup today. Anyway, thank you michelle and thank you michael. Coming up, the best senate race
of the year coming up. Allison Lundgren Grimes of kentucky against Mitch Mcconnell. They went head to head. Howard fineman pointed out heerx was there. Grimes shows she can be as nasty as the republican senator as well. Also, a proposal for a longterm piece for gaza. Well talk to shimon peres about whether israel can plausibly disarm hamas. And normer nbc correspondent campbell brount has timeamed up with laura boyce to overhaul teacher tenure laws. Finally, let me finish tonight with an idea.

james brady has died. Brady, who served under Ronald Reagan was 73. He was seriously injured in the 1981 assassination attempt on the president. Suffering a gunshot wound to the head, which left his partially paralyzed. Brady and his wife sarah became supporters of stricter gun laws and in 1989, they started the brady campaign. They lobbied hard for legislation requiring background checks for most gun purchases commonly known as the brady bill. President clinton signed the brady bill into law in 1993. In a statement today, former first Lady Nancy Reagan said she was deeply saddened to learn of jim bradys passing today. Thinking of him brings back so many memories, happy and sad, in a time in all of our lives where we learned to play the hands we were dealt. Well be right back.

A political prize fight is the best description for kentuckys fancy foreign Political Forum where candidates come as close to mano a mano combat as anywhere in congress. This week, Alison Lundergan grimes did battle with Mitch Mcconnell while a tent full of supporters cheered, jeered, hooped and hollered. What a huge crowd for senator mcconnells retirement party. If Mitch Mcconnell were a tv show, he would be mad men treating women unfairly, stuck in 1968, and ending this season. Seriously, i dont know whats more dysfunctional, senator. The way you run your campaign or
your washington, d. C. After three decades in washington, youve just given up. You dont care about us anymore. Thanks to you, d. C. Stands for doesnt care. You seem to think that the president is on the ballot this year. Hes not. This race is between me and you and the people of kentucky, while we intend to hold you accountable for your 30 years of failed leadership. Wow, and he was in the room. And then 30year incompoint senator Mitch Mcconnell took the stage himself and did his best to make grimes a standin for president obama. By any standard, barack obama has been a disaster for our country. Thats what you get for elected someone with no experience. He was only he was only two years into his first job when he started campaigning for the next one. Sound familiar . And every time he got in trouble, and every time he got in trouble in his inexperience became obvious, he called in bill clinton. Sound familiar. With so much turmoil around the world, we cant afford a leader who thinks the west bank is a hollywood fundraiser. Theres only one way to begin to go in a different direction. Thats to change the senate and make me the leader of the new majority to take america in a different direction. This is something. Anyway, the Kentucky Senate race will be the marquee contest this fall, as you just saw. A big factor, by the way, in who is going to get control of the United States senate next year. If this weekend was any indication, this battle will be epic. Howard fineman had a ringside seat. Also joining us is the former dnc chair, ed rendell. I love this stuff. Governor, i know you do, too. This is real politics. It reminds me of the candidate. This is the pro against the amateur, and you really dont know whos going to win, howard. Chris, i did have a front row seat, and i started in journalism in kentucky, spent almost five years in the state, so i know how they play politics there. This is as elemental and as confrontational and personal in a room. Did you see the face on mcconnell when shes laying into him . Yeah, and she had a frozen smile on her face when he was laying into her. Nay speak back to back. This is national but also personal. Its national becausish rr the republican establishment against whats left of the Democratic Party in the south, and its also personal and negative. This race is basically whom do you like less . Barack obama or Mitch Mcconnell . And its a race to the bottom between the two, and its going to be for better or worse, almost entirely negative, especially from here on to november 4th. Governor, this is what people usually put in their ads when they dont actually have to show up. They just say this crap paid for by. But these people deliver the
crap right out of their mouths. This is personal stuff. Hes an old art, basically what she is saying. Hes over there, this is his retirement party. You couldnt get more personal about a guy, 73, than that. And hes treelting her like she doesnt know nothing. Great stuff, i guess. Why not . It is good stuff. I was struck by two things. First of all, this is a terrible year to be an incumbent and a worse year to be a leader because people are absolutely furious with whats gone on in congress and what happened with the fiveweek vacation, not doing anything about the border, that made it even worse. I think Mitch Mcconnell has that against him. Hes a leader, ask eric cantor what it is to be a leader running for reelection. Second issue is the optics. The optics were shocking this morning. When i watched on tv. Allis Alison Lundergan grimes looks fresh, young, energetic, and Mitch Mcconnell looks tired and old and past his prime. Those optics will play in her favor. I think its going to be very tough. You put barack obama on the ballot and that will appeal to the base, but i dont know if the independent voter is going to go for that. So i think Alison Lundergan grimes has a very good chance. I do, too. Let me notice snng, i noticed something about the way the governor was talking there. You notice how you do because you have been reporting this, Mitch Mcdonnell doesnt run for leader of the senate, he hopes to become majority leader while never admitting hes already the leader of the republicans. He never says that. Chris, im not just trying to praise you because youre the host of the show, but thats the story that i havent written yet. Its mcconnells attempt to run as the change agent. You heard what he said at the end. Lets change things and elect me. But i agree with the governor. I think people in kentucky have known him for 30 years. Mitch mcconnell. They dont think of him as a
change agent. I dont think thats going to work. What about cole . He talks about hes the coal man. Thats true, and i think thats Alison Grimes weak spot because theyre desperately trying to tie her not only to barack obama but to harry reid who once infamously in kentucky said coal makes you sick. That phrase has been plastered all over the state. Alison grimes is going to do well in louisville, in lexington. She cant afford to be wiped out in the coal regions of the state, had is why bill clinton, as Mitch Mcconnell said, hes coming in on wednesday. Hes going to campaign in the coal regions of eastern kentucky. Where do you think the Glass Ceiling lies . I sometimes think there are states on the coast, for example, i have noticed this, women senators all over the place, up and down the coast, washington state, californicali four of them, east coast, couple from maine, from new york, alternating. Is kentucky, ohio, pennsylvania,
are they ready to get rid of the Glass Ceiling for senate . I think so. Look at the primary results in 2008 in kentucky. Hillary clinton won by 37 points. There are a lot of working class women in kentucky who might surprise you on election day, chris. Remember, hillary won by 37 points. Also, in kentucky, quite frankly, its still a state where whos governor is more important than whos senator. Absolutely. There has been a woman governor of kentucky who was sitting next to alison. Ed rendell always thought that was the case, by the way. Yes, right. The other thing about kentucky, about Alison Grimes is, shes kentucky through and through. I know this sounds silly, but she rides horses and she can outshoot Mitch Mcconnell and shes kentuckying it up. She looks like it. Shes what they call in kentucky a handsome filly, and shes tough. Shes very tough. Anyway, thank you, howard, my favorite jane fonda movie, and ed rendell. Up next, its president obamas birthday today. Hes not secelebrating the way k did. Hes playing golf.

Time for the sideshow. Today marks president obamas 53rd birthday. An occasion he celebrated over the weekend with a round of golf at camp david. If you look back through history, president ial birthdays tend to be understated affairs often celebrated by the first family with little fanfare and except for a token photo op or two, closed to the press. In 1962, jack kennedy celebrated his 45th before an audience of
15,000 at new yorks old Madison Square garden. It was to raise money for the democrats. While the evening featured several hollywood celebrities, it was most famously remembered for Marilyn Monroes sexy serenade aimed at the president. The legend has it her dress was so tite, she had to be sewn into it. Needless to say, her performance was an immediate sensation. Heres how the president himself reacted after monroe left the stage. I can now retire from politics after having happy birthday sung to me by such a sweet lady. Sweet and wholesome is what he said there. But president kennedy also used that occasion to take a shot, a friendly one at his 1960 rival for president , former Vice President richard nixon. Richard nixon had famously used his new family dog checkers to defend himself from charges of corruption in the 1952dwighti ea
campaign speech where he said these lines about the cuddly clocker spainial which came as a gift from a campaign supporter. It was a little cocker spaniel dog in a creaate he sen all the way from texas, black and white, spotted, and our little girl, trirsha, the 6yearold, named it checkers. You know the kids like all kids love the dog. And i just want to say this right now, that regardless of what they say about it, were going to keep him. What they say about it. Anyway, ten years later, nixons checkers speech was still as well known as it was in 1952. And president kennedy couldnt resist mocking his old rival. He replaced nixons line about his dog checkers with a line about kennedys daughter, her own pet, actually, in this case, it was Caroline Kennedy talking about riding her pony on the white house lawn. Heres kennedy and his version of Richard Nixons checkers speech. A little speech given by a
former Vice President of the United States in 1952 which is even more pertinent. It was just a little pony and you know the kids, my kids loved it, and i just want to say this right now. Regardless of what they say about it, were going to keep it. Up next, ill talk to former israeli Prime Minister shimon peres about gaza. Youre watching hardball, the place for politics. At would hap.

Israel and hamas agreed today to a threeday ceasefire worked out by egypt. Yesterday, israel announced it was withdrawing most of its ground trooped but would keep up air strikes in the territory. One of the air strikes caused a particularly Strong International reaction, including one from the United States. On sunday, israel fired a missile as three suspected militants on a motorcycle. It struck them as they were passing a United Nations school. Ten people were killed including one child. Since the start of the conflict, more than 1800 palestinians and 67 israelis have been killed. Earlier today, i spoke with israels former president , shimon peres about what hope there is for ending the fighting. First, heres a suggestion from the organization for the future of gaza. Msnbc has established a partnership with an organization that mines stories from the web it says are not getting pigged up by the traditional media. One deals with gaza and what they describe as a proposal for a Peaceful Economic Development of the territory. Im skeptical about the notion that hamas now controlling gaza could be displaced as the main power in the territory. That or agree to disarm. But heres the case they make. Judith dubben of vocative. Lets watch. For an increasing number of leaders around the world, the only way to create a genuine shift in the paradigm for gaza is to disarm hamas and make a longterm investment in economic development. Any process to resolve the crisis in gaza in a lasting and meaningful way must lead to the disarmament of hamas and all terrorist groups. The best solution really is to have a longterm ceasefire with removal of the siege and with economic and social development. Since israel pulled out of gaza in 2005, a disastrous pattern has emerged. Hamas launches missiles at israel. Eventually, the Israeli Defense missiles retaliate with devastating Defense Forces in gaza which they say are designed to root out the danger posed by
the military wing of hamas. Then israel clamped down, restricting movements in and out of gaza. The local economy withers. Hamas uses the aid money it receives to buy more weapons. The Palestinian People suffer. This is a tragedy of what we see today. Hamas do not believe in the reality of two states. Hamas do not believe in diplomacy, so the money went to create military infrastructure. It is possible to create a Better Future in this part of the world. Just look at the west bank town of ramallah where the Palestinian Authority not hamas is in charge. Many people here still complain bitterly about israels security restrictions, but business flourishes, construction is booming. What we see in the west bank today, this is demilitarization. This sort of structure, disarmament for development, seems logical, but in gaza, there are two very different visions for the future. I want hamas, i have a bullet in my neck. And im asking and calling for peace and calling to stop this war. Enough. Not more blood. That was judith dubben of the israeli based group vocative, and heres my interview with shimon peres. Again, youll hear my skepticism
on this peace proposal. Mr. Peres, these headlines coming from gaza are horrific. What is your hope for an end to this . In my judgment today two camps and arming the Palestinian People. A camp that wants to start peace, which is made by the palestinial authority and headed by abbas, and i believe is a serious leader and a responsible partner to talk with. On the other hand, there is a group of terrorists in gaza, the most important among them is hamas, they want policy to have a protest. They dont want to compromise. They want to kill. We dont have a choice but to fight against them determinedly. In two ways, by the way. One, if shthey shoot, we shoot back. On the other hand, were also thinking how to restore the situation in gaza itself, which is today one of the poorest places in the world. We cannot do it by fighting and building. We have to bring an end to the fighting and then we shall begin to build. How do you get hamas to either capitulate or get defeated. How do you put them out of the way if theyre committed to terrorist and the destruction of israel . But for the military, which we shall continue, as we have. We dont have a choice. And we shall continue to do it until they stop shooting. I think those in politics, a major problem is there are no politics or International Politics without legitimacy. I think that either the United Nations has to decide who is the
sovereign over gaza. Originally, gaza and the west bank were handed over to Brazilian Authority and gaza is supposed to be under the sovereignty of the Palestinian Authority. Hamas actually revolted against them, killed their leaders, and hijacked gaza, if you want. From a legal point of view, the United Nations have declared the sovereign of gaza is the Palestinian Authority. And everything concerning gaza must go through him and not through the terrorists. You cannot have both at the same time. You cannot put in the same glass fire and water. Either water or fire. Now, if the legitimacy will be really declared in the hands of the Palestinian Authority, all
the money, all the means, all the traffic should go through them because even if they will continue to shoot, and by the way, theyre a danger for all the arab world, not only for us. You know, the terrorists are destroying the arab world country by country. They destroyed the legitimacy and the integrity of syria, of iraq, of lebanon, of yemen. You know, in libya itself, you have today 1200 groups of terrorists. Imagine. Its a catastrophe. And a small Group Without any responsibility, without any identity, can buy more arms and shoot. The world must introduce for its own sake or other places. I think what we have to answer fi
fire by fire and we shall do it. And every time they do something, we shall find an answer to it. May take some time. Its klacostly. We would like to be free like anybody else, but we sure we shall have the upper hand in fighting the terror as well. We shall not give up. We did it already. Many times by terrorists, and we dont want to kill anybody. Not by seeing them suffering. It doesnt bring us any joy to see somebody suffering or to see a child dying, but they do it and we have to stop it. That is the military side. On the other hand, the political side, which is not only in the hands of israel. We have to declare there is a sovereign gaza and it is not hamas. Because hamas is a killer, not a partner. Are you hardened by the news
today that saudi arabia, the old king of saudi arabia has declared hamas the troublemaker in gaza, not israel, but hamas . That was a startling development. Look, i think theyre right. You know, for many years, many arabs thought that they are a danger, the problem is israel. They didnt know that the danger is not israel but terror. If there is a menace to the arab land, to their independence, to their dignity, it comes from terror, not from us. And for that reason, many of them are ready to go either openly or secretly with israel to bring an end to hamas for their own good reason and theyre right. I mean, no country can remain safe if small groups of terrorists will come and lay them down. Its a real problem. And nobody has a chose. Mr. Peres, thank you so much
for your time. I dont want to take more of your time. Youve been great today. Thank you so much, sir. Thank you. I love that guy. Well be right back after this.

The movement is led by my former nbc colleague, cnn and cnn anchor Campbell Brown whos with me right now, whose new advocacy group, the partnership for educational justice, is organizing parents and students to bring lawsuits against states with strict teacher job protections and tenure laws that force principals to make personnel decisions on seniority rather than performance. And last month, the movement was handed a big victory in california web when a judge ruled in their favor that the teacher tenure laws violate students civil rights under that states constitution. Now the group is taking aim at the state of new york. Heres campbell last week on the
colbert report. If you look at the outcome, Student Outcomes in new york, okay, so 91 of teachers around the state of new york are rated either effective or highly effective, yet 31 sounds goods. 31 of our kids are reading, doing math how does that compute . I went to Public School in South Carolina and 31 sounds like a majority to me. Why are we blaming the teachers . Maybe its the dumb kids. Theyre getting some help from a star trial lawyer, david boyce, who, of course, is the man who fought to overturn californias samesex marriage ban and defended al gore in that infamous 2000 Supreme Court case, bush v. Gore which ultimately decided the presidency. Both Campbell Brown, founder of the partnership for educational justi justice, and david boyce, join me right now. Lets get to the heart of this. People watching. Im big on charter schools. I love the movie by Davis Guggenheim waiting for superman. People want to send their kids to Public Schools or already do but are afraid the kids arent getting good education. How will getting rid of tenure laws make education for the better kid better . Campbell . First of all, its not a silver bullet. Lets be clear. Its not going to solve all our problems. We have a lot of challenges we need to address. This is one of them which is the gold of getting an effective teacher in front of every child. What tenure laws have become is permanent. Its real, its become its become prefuncto rrkprefunctory. Campbell, this is hot stuff. Do they have places in new york where teachers go who are lousy teachers, put them a room, they sit in that room. Whats it called . Rubber rooms. They tried to do away with the rubber rooms. Now they have the absent teacher
reserve. David, you get in here. How bad is it when they take teachers who are deadheads, mailing it in, lost interest in their job but instead of fires them because they have tenure, they put them in a room, pay them full salary when they an go home to their wives, kids, said, yeah, i worked that day. They spend time there wasting time. If we had an unlimited amount of money, we could tolerate that. For every one of the people not teaching, were losing the ability to have a replacement who wants to teach, able to teach and would improve the lives of our children. You wouldnt go to a hospital or law firm where the people were not retained and promoted based on merit, and parents dont want to send their children to schools where the teachers arent promoted and retained based on merit. Somebody once said of a politician who you know, i wont quote on television, said to me, if youre tired going there 10 years and dont want to go the
11th year, quit. Do teachers quit when theyve lost interest in teaching or stay on and keep collecting the paycheck is my question . Do you want to do this, david . I love teachers, all right . Both of my parents what about the ones who lost interest and are still collecting a paycheck . Thought ought to be replaced. Both of my parents were Public School teachers. I know the spirit that drives people who love to teach. We have to make room for the really qualified, passionate people who want to teach our children. And we have to find a way to replace the people who have given up. Who dont want to teach anymore, for whom its just become a paycheck, who arent fulfilling their responsibleility. Not because were attacking teachers but because we care about teachers and the teaching profession. Why do you care . I only have a second. Thats how the other side portrays this as an attack on
teachers. Its about professionalizing teachers, evaluating them, giving them performance pay and treating them like individuals. Campbell brown, good to see you again. David boyce, congratulations on everything you do. Well be right back after this. Have an impact locally. Were using more natural gas vehicles than ever before.

Let me end tonight with an idea shared with me over the weekend that the president should be suing the congress. Normally that would strike me or you as absurd, but now that were in the suing season, it deserves a tad of consideration. Think about what the president
said in his press briefing on friday. Think of all the ways the congress has simply failed to perform its regular duties. Basically left its inbox stuck with undone work from getting a budget passed, to approve executive appointments, even for nonpolitical ambassadors to important posts, moscow, for example. Isnt there a place in the law here that might be as attorneys like to call it, actionable . Isnt the u. S. Congress the delinquent party here, again, to use an attorneys favorite word, exposed . Failure to provide services. Thats the phrase. Failure to provide services is when a Government Official doesnt do what their job requires they do. Suppose you wait in line to get your drivers license renewed. There you are standing at the dmv for hours and when you finally reach the front of the line, the person behind the counter says i dont feel like it. I know you think you have a right to a renewed license, but i dont think ill give it to you. That would be failure to provide services, wouldnt it . Every time this president sends a routine measure to the congress or routine appointment and has the Congress Look at him and say, i dont feel like doing
