Just the beginning. You cant be too upset. Just the beginning. Just the beginning. No, no, no, no, no. Wait a minute. No, no. I am very suspicious of this statement. Theyre clearly teeing up for something very big. She is going to face a lot of questions whether it is benghazi or health. Do i think she has brain damage. No, a traumatic brain episode. She works out every week. She is a very energetic lady. Think this over carefully. Because the it is going to be rough out there. Given the existing field. Take jeb bush. It is an act of love. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is ramping up his travel schedule. As far as the impact on my political future, i think it will have none. [ indiscernible ] over 65 in most polls. Nobody cracks 10 . She is strong. Certainly seems to mhave more stamina. I think she had a traumatic brain episode. And my god its brainghazi good evening. Im ari melber in for Lawrence Odonnell. Wait a minute. No, no. I didnt say she had brain damage. The post writes, karl rove stunned a conference when he suggests that Hillary Clinton may have brain damage. So rove sought out the friendliest of fox news pastors. She had a concussion and blood clot. That is serious. Will this be the issue of the 2016 president ial campaign if she runs. No it will be a minor thing. In the course of conversation, rove revealed his 2016 motive. I think it is 50 50 she runs. Im not as convinced. She was supposed to be a shooin in 2008. They have a thin bench if she doesnt run. It could be problematic for them. If she doesnt run. Translation, it is problematic for roves party if Hillary Clinton does run. Polls show Hillary Clinton trouncing every Top Republican opponent. To tarnish the former secretary of state, expanded from the Republican House to the Upper Chamber today. 37 of 495 republican senators signed a new letter to majority leader harry reid asking in light of the recent decision by john boehner to form a select committee to investigate the benghazi terrorist attacks, we ask you to reconsider your decision not to create a similar committee in the senate. Yes they have one committee. We have been reporting how they created it now. They want a Second Committee devoted to benghazi. The reason republicans sided for this Second Committee in the senate they write, quote, last weeks disclosure of an email from Deputy National security adviser for Strategic Communications ben rhodes dated september 14, 2012, serves as a reminder that the investigation is far from complete. End quote. And at a News Conference also today, Lindsay Graham tied Hillary Clintons health to benghazi. If you believe susan rice it was a request of sequester terry cl request of secretary clinton to appear on t strchlt. She declined. If you believe susan rice it was because that secretary clinton had a grueling week. Is that important . I think it is. I am very suspicious of this statement. I think most of us who know secretary clinton understand she is a very energetic lady, been through a lot. Quite frankly a tough person. But let any just assume for a moment thats true. What does that say about benghazi and about her leadership abilities . Joining me now, alex wagner host of msnbcs now with alex wagner. And eugene, columnist with the Washington Post i was having a traumatic brain episode. Wow. What does that say . What does that say . What does it say . Ari, what does it say . What else could be true . But what doesnt it say . Sxhakt exactly. Gene, the problem with the press conference is it is an embodiment of the conspiracy theories that would be given a semipermanent status if the senate adds its own version of the committee. Right. But Conspiracy Theory. Just outline the conspiracy for me, okay. Because i can buy into conspiracy theories. Everybody loves a good Conspiracy Theory. This is a theory about who appeared on a sunday. There is no theory. Talk show. No theory. And suspicious that she said she was tired. I mean this is really insane. This is, this its not a Conspiracy Theory. Because the there is no conspiracy. What does fatigue tell us . Are you saying that she is a human being that sleeps and gets tired at her job. They have spent years doing this. Mitt romney had a problem when he made this the central front in the policy debate. We all remember it helped him lose the election. Here the theory seems to be Hillary Clinton who didnt do a lot of television interviews, secretary of state. Spent a lot more time on the road, and who had an employee, in, at the time, u. N. Ambassador rice, who reports up to secretary of state in the state department, there is just nothing there. Well, i mean you can argue, should Hillary Clinton have gone on the sunday shows . Maybe. Does that mean that there is a Conspiracy Theory worth of a fifth Investigative Committee . I mean that letter from the senate, which is insane, there its already been a Senate Intelligence committee, that has investigated this, 25,000 documents, multiple hearings, i mean, to, for the fiscal hawks of the Republican Party to say nothing of a party that is actually trying to win the white house in 2016, is this really the best use of resources. I would add as a caveat, ari, today, daryl issa issued a subpoena for the secretary of state. The whole point of this, this shenanigan that theyre calling the House Select Committee on benghazi was that it was supposed to consolidate the conspiracy into one house right. That goes to something, from the daily beast today, that getz oe the problem. You are everreact overreact. Quote, there is deep unease within the Republican Leadership that the select committee yet to announce a schedule hearings could backfire and investigate and find nothing new and they like tin hatted obsessives. Mike rogers warned his colleagues about the upcoming select committee to investigate bengha benghazi. He would saying this would be a rabbit hole, one house member told the daily beast, we should not get the investigation get into conspiracy theriories. And this its before you get to the fact that if they, win a few more seats in the mid terms the senate would set up a second one. The senate would set up a Second Committee. What is this really about president . Only strategic, prague matmaticn is is to yell Hillary Clinton benghazi, Hillary Clinton benghazi. Until assumption she will run for president and they need to muddy her up if theyve dont she will beat any republican comer. Theyre frying to win the senate. They have no longer the strawman of at fordable care act. So really, it its so, transparent. Sylvia matthews burwell, secretary of hhs, will get confirmed, her hearings, nobody has been talking about them. The republicans are going to let her sail through. This is the person supposed to be public enemy number one. There has not been a, like you could hear a pin drop. Its been complete silence. So painfully obvious that the vacuum is being filled with benghazi. Gene, your publication, the Washington Post described her second hearing as breezy another breezy hearing for her, because politic thousands of obamacare have changed. Let me find a fox news finding at you for your response. A fox news poll asked people why do you think republicans in congress are investigating benghazi . 30 , to get truth. 63 , for political gain. That committee hasnt opened shop. Gee you, think this might backfire. People are not that dumb. They kind of see whats going on. Iobvious. Think what the number will be. Going for a couple of weeks or months. Let me throw might own political Conspiracy Theory by you guys since we have a theme. I wonder if at root, some of these republicans have sort of chris crist yhristie bridn vechltbridgegaten bridgegate. Envy if theyre looking at investigations. Theyve the idea in their world view, this happened early. Crist yef didnt get a chance to run yet. They perceive it as the made up. They just keep looking for these kind of scandals. Thifls o this one being one of the other side. Want to play Chris Christy talking about whether any of this its relevant. Take a listen on bridgegate and how it affects 2016. Im any not the first chief executive had some one on their staff do something they didnt know about, that they disapproved of and they had to fire them. I dont think it hurt anybodys career and it wont hurt mine. I think this will be a footnote. Are you still thinking abut running for president. When will you make a decision on that . Yes, and later all. Up afirst, i love, yes and later. I will answer more questions like that. Second of all he talks about where people had to go. If you listen to conservatives, look at them talking to each other. In talk radio context. They say, an assistant secretary of state had to go over benghazi. Real people had new go. Why isnt this hurting her more . Deep frustration none of this sticks to him early clinton. Two things at play. This is the clintons. As we all know they have been surrounded by the vortex of conspiracy theories since he was governor of arkansas and was the president. Whether vince foster, white water, muthis its par for the course with them. The other thing, i think the right in the vacuum of policy and any actual prescriptions for the country has become incredibly reliant on conspiracy theories. Whether that its birther its m, whether it is the fact, the fact that he is a secret socialist muslim, the way they play now. It is inevitable. This its what the base has come to expect. Its like you, know you stimulate a system and get it accustomed to that sort of level of stimulation. You have to kind of keep it up. You cant just back off and become reasonable all of a sudden. You have to be, crazy. So here you go. Why do tax reform. You can talk benghazi over and over and over again. Does that go to the question of when you govern, does that send a message to how you would govern if you were in charge . Thats the problem, right. What do you do if you ak sthact get elected . I couldnt name one thing, they could agree on in the caucus in the house. You look at any major plank, immigration reform, energy, tax, they cant agree on anything. So, god forbid they should get into higher office. Right. Before we even get there, they have got to agree on a candidate too. And, theyre not going to, theyre going to have a hard time agreeing on that. Better to point at democrats and yell benghazi. You talk who may bail them out. The Tampa Bay Times if jeb bush theyre going to agree on someone, supposed unifier. Its been a while since jeb bush has been on the ballot. He has the not been the most patient guy with the media, even in the old cycles, where it was 24 hour news cycle not minute by minute. The people who have seen him in florida have seen an aggressive almost radical conservative activist. Interesting because we were told that jeb was the kind of the backup unified force in the party. Another idea that as christie fades. He becomes their 2016 conservative icon. Almost painful watching some one split themselves in half. What any canned date in the Republican Party will be required to do. I have a hard time iffa aimagine guy who said immigration is an act of love, is the person that the south will the statement is enough off to put him on the left side of the Republican Party. For conservatives to say they want nothing to do with him. He cant get back over the fence. Over the immigration fence. Yeah, the question. They want prolife, can they also get prolove. I like a prolove politician. That was beautiful syntactical thing you did there. L, they beth start with l. Alliteration. Gene robinson, alex wagner. Thank you very much. A fun conversation. Coming up a big city Mayor Campaign ending racialized Police Practices but doesnt seem to have changed anything yet when it comes to lowlevel pot arrests.

Yes, there are no actions we can take today. An action sunday may have helped. Or any day before that. Thats Stephen Colbert breaking down climate change. Why is the most liberal city in the nation arresting so many people for smoking pot . Thats straight ahead. At farmers, we make you smarter about Auto Insurance, because the more you know, the more we can help you. Cut. Lower. Chop and drop your insurance rates. If you want to save hundreds, talk to farmers. [announcer] call 8005118434. We are farmers bum pa dum, bum bum bum bum you know, lately there has been lots of progress in reforming the war on drugs from the Obama Administration dialing down jail time for nonviolent drug offenses to several states to just completely legalize pot. Almost any reform to our long standing war on drugs is of course, an automatic reform for racial justice. And thats because our drug laws are enforced in such patently unfair ways. White and black americans for example, smoke similar amounts of pot while blacks are close to four times more likely to be arrest ford it. So there was big news this week surprising to many that the new liberal mayor of new york who ranized policing is presiding over an aggressive, policy of pot arrests. The Marijuana Arrest Research project said new york is on track to make 28,000 marijuana arrests this year equal to the amount made in 2013 under mayor bloomberg. Blacks and latinos make up 86 of those arrested for marijuana this year. That is striking. Now this is a national epidemic. Lives ruined. 50 of americans have engaged in, a point Lawrence Odonnell made, pushing the nypd and police around the country to heal themselves. These marijuana arrests are ruining lives, making it impossible for some people to keep their jobs making it impossible for young people to go to college. It is a racist government enterprise operated in plain sight, local government, State Government and federal government. Police officers all over the country are in secentivized. To meet quo ttas. The easiest way to do that is drive into black communities and stop and frisk black people which they do here in new york city as an official sanctioned policy of the department. Joining me now for more, the new york state director for drug policy alliancalliance, and thef make it plain on xm radio. Tell me about report . The reports are alarming. The arrests in new york city, the same number of arrests this year as last year. 28,000 is no small number. Down from 2011. 50,000 arrests. 28,000 the average under the giuliani years. These need to be down at 0. That would be an appropriate number for marijuana arrests in new york city. Thats what we have to get to. The numbers are not there. Let me cut the debate into two. One, whether it should go to 0 as you are advocating and two if we are going to enforce this in this city or around the country whether we do it fairly or in a racist way. Those are two pieces of the puzzle. Let me read what the president said to David Remnick of the new yorker. Middleclass kids dont get locked up for smoking pot. Poor kids do. Africanamerican kids and latino kids are more likely to be poor and less likely to have resources and support to avoid penalties we shouldnt lock up kids or users for long stretches of jail time when some folks writing the laws have probably done the same thing. Here in new york and what is so interesting and why we want to look at this tonight you have a may your who ran on this and has done, incrementally positive things on stop and frisk which is racially discriminatory. These numbers cant be spun . No they cant. What you have in other states progressivism on this issue, states changing laws, this is a National Debate about changing this approach. It really doesnt make sense that in a city and a state that supposedly is, is as progressive as new york with a may your who rwho mayor who ran against this issue and it is appalling and unacceptable. This is quite frankly an example of the institutional racism you still see in america. Not the bundy or sterling racism. Thats rhetoric. Some times it is worse. This directly affects more people. Directly affect more minorities. Prevents them from getting jobs. Prevents them from going to c m college. Mark, making such an important distinction there. We have been talking about bundy or sterling in these word. Then we have discussions what kind of america we are living in. I would submit it doesnt really matter. How and why all these cops are making these stops. If the sum result is this racist, right, as we have been reporting here, then whats in their heart is actually secondary to the, to the result. Let me play de blazio sfeki isp on the last word take a listen. When it is used unconstitutionally, the case in the city, we found out, when it is used in a discriminatory manner it is unacceptable. The approximately seize ha policies supported an approach that is discriminatory. That was in august on specifical specifically, stop and frisk, overwhelmingly used to target africanamerican young men in the city. While that program is changing you are seeing the pot arrest not the really changing. Thats where we have to pay attention. The mayor came in and said we will take care of stop and frisk. Stop and frisks have gone down. The fact that marijuana arrests has not gone down. We cant say because the stop and frisks have gone down. We are hunkydory now. We need to address institutional racism, the hall make of the arrest and put into place immediate immediately. This know it one that should not be hard to solve. Stop making at rests. The de blazio administration, he said it through the campaign the we will stop this. On his campaign website. We think they will do it. Should get around time. That time should be now. Let me go to the politics, mark, what is striking, mayor de blazio is called out by chris christie, and, eric kantur, for being so liberal. He really did run on civil rights. On equality. And on economic empowerment. A lot of big progressive issues. Maybe he need time. But from your perspective on the politics, how should people be pressing him here . They should be pressing him hard and aggressively. And asserting that this policy is a problem. It is discriminatory. It is not helping at all. And this was after all, a promise he made. And really now you have to wonder whether or not the cessation of stop and frisk so to speak is some what negated by these types of arrests not going down. I think that is a very serious thing. Whats the point. Whats the point of being able to stop an frisk if we are having this problem. . We need to press in as hard as we can. I have got to tell you beyond the reporting and data that you have. When we look at 86 , minorities under these arrests. I can tell you from living in new york. There are a lot of other white people using pot and drugs. This is not just reflective. Any time you have of a policy enforced that way, you have off to look at the systemic racism. Even not intended. The point you raised. We are out of time. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Appreciate it. Coming up one of the most powerful women in america responsible for overseeing some of the most important journalism in the world. Sudden leap dly dismissed. Some say pushed off a glass cliff.

Comcast business built for business. You may not recognize this woman, but she has a huge impact on american politics and journalism. You can find jill a brbrahmson, the event with the president in france, or interviewing leading figures, business and politics. Executive editor of the New York Times. The first female in the papers history to hold that job until yesterday. When she was abruptly fired. The media political world has been asking what happened. The new yorker reports, abramson found out former deputy managing editor, a man made more money than she did. She had a lawyer make polite inquiries about the pay and pension disparities which set them off. The Times Publisher contested the account saying it is not true that jills compensation was less than her predecessors her pay is comparable to executive editors. The only reason for that destigs wdestigs decisions i had about her management of the newsroom. There were reports it was abramsons management style that played a role. The Washington Post said some at the times have been quietly critical of abramsons style, aloof, and personnel appointments which featured younger journalists. Whether it was abramsons dispute over her pay, management style or alleged clashes with owners. Some are wondering if there is sort of a class cliff here for women in top positions and others are saying, president obamas recent call for transparency in compin compensa is needed more than ever. My guests join me now. Welcome. Thank you for having us. Rebecca, lets start with what you say in your article, you talk about the the humiliating firing here. She was not allowed to address the staff. This is a big deal. You say there is a description of an increasingly common circumstance with the glass cliff. What happens when people who have long been side lined from power get a chance, prominent jobs, but only when the power and possibility of those positions has eroded . We are seeing that a lot right now. We are living in an era in which a lot of the positions that for a long time were held exclusively by white men, positions of power and influence are now being held by women. You have examples of, you know, katy couric, diane sawyer, evening news, women and people of color, barack obama ills the president of the United States. The ceo of gm. All positions that previously only went to white men. Now, a more diverse array of people are holding them. But the positions themselves are beginning to erode a little in terms of power. And the New York Times its a perfect example of that. Media, traditional print, journalism, newspapers are in trouble. A very turbulent period. It was at this moment that Jill Abramson, during a period. A lot of discussion about the Digital Future of the paper and all that was given power. Now her successor, who is an african, first africanamerican editor of the paper is going to preside over a similarly turbulent time. Rebecca one more thing here. Whether or not she was fired for the right reasons, because of her performance alone, or because of some gender related conflict. You can still draw a Straight Line from the way people talked about her work to the way people talked about him ear clint hi clinton when she ran for president. Sure. A lot of the very valid complaints people have about Hillary Clinton the way she ran her campaign. Strategic mistakes. Theyre not just about gender. Not because she is a woman. That woman. Right. We also have to take a look at how the way that we absorb her, the very real complaints, are in themselves gendered. Jill abramson was criticized in public often for being brusque. For being difficult. For being abrasive. For being mercurial. Qualities we are more used to in bosses. Liz you, wrote about this and broadened out from Jill Abramson. Whether people know or care about her. Look at media which has influence. And gender. Wage gap and media for all journalists you. Have 53,000 as an average for men. Down to 44,000 for women. Thats right now. And what you showed is that it has thent hasnt improved over time. The broader, larger picture here. If you look at the top positions. The position that she used to hold. It is 23 of people who actually, women who are in the positions. Leadership positions. Women cant be what they cant see. If a young woman is looking at this sort of unfold in the media. Theyre going to be scared to go into journalism. Theyre not going to want. Not going to be an afrack tittr field for them. If there is no women thats worse. Harry reid went to the senate fl floor to draw a Straight Line from this situation, contested as to what happened to what he says congress should do about this which is actually give women more power to actually know what theyre making and what counter parts are make sowing we can deal with it. Take a listen to senator reid. Look what appears in the New York Times. The woman who ran the newspaper was fired yesterday. Why . It is now in the press because she come mraescu complained, do work as men, two different jobs, made different money. The first there is not a lot of reported evidence at this point that Jill Abramson was fired because she filed a dispute. That is not proven. He is correct we need extra Pay Protection legislation. He simultaneously is wrong and right about equal pay. Wrong about the role, perhaps, played if any, in Jill Abramsons firing. I think, overall. It its good we are having this conversation. We saw barbara walters, sort of retire. And we had, this is a great time to, to have, a discussion about what it is to be like, to be a woman in media if the woman does have a womans problem still. It is 2014. We think we are over the issue. We think we have the post feminism world. We dont. Yeah. I also want to take a little quick look at part of what Jill Abramson did do at the times the first woman editor. Abramson was committed to increasing womens reputation the paper. Got results. 2013, replaced a Washington Bureau chief. Overseeing all politics coverage. Placed national editor, with weekend editor allison mitchell. Handed reins of the book review to pamela paul who made enormous stride representing women in the book section there. For people who care about politics, equal tee and culture, right, the people in charge of these institutions have tremendous influence . Yes, it is very visible in terms of her record. When people who have been previously side lined from power, get into positions of power it is not if not always the case, often the case they further diversify the staff below them. That at least happened in this case. As we talk about diverse team. The reason we are having this discussion this way or the way we wanted to put up the news this way because the New York Times handled it so poorly. There are serious allegations around the treatment of women. Having said that. However bad the New York Times is in that respect. An historic occasion here. In 1945, the first black reporter at the New York Times. Today you have a black black repo today you have a black reporter running the times. It is overshadowed. The mishandling of this. We are talking a lot about jill here hand her management skills. What about salzberger, this was a fail. Not just a pr fail. Today coming out saying this isnt about pay but not giving us any numbers. There is no transpair ensy. Liz, you make such an interesting point there. Because this is the third executive editor in a rope of the New York Times that all people would agree has gone out under less than ideal circumstances. Talking a lot more about Jill Abramson. And thank you both. Enjoyed your reporting on this today. Thank you so much. Coming up. Cecile richards and why missouri wants to make the waiting period for obtaining an abortion one of the longest in the nation. What does the current political chill between the u. S.

Thats when i had an honest conversation with my doctor. We discussed all the symptoms. Then he gave me some blood tests. Showed it was low t. Thats it. It was a number not just me. [ male announcer ] today, men with low t have androgel 1. 62 testosterone gel. The 1 prescribed topical testosterone replacement therapy, increases testosterone when used daily. Women and children should avoid contact with application sites. Discontinue androgel and call your doctor if you see unexpected signs of early puberty in a child, or signs in a woman, which may include changes in body hair or a large increase in acne, possibly due to accidental exposure. Men with Breast Cancer or who have or might have prostate cancer, and women who are or may become pregnant or are breastfeeding, should not use androgel. Serious side effects include worsening of an enlarged prostate, possible increased risk of prostate cancer, lower sperm count, swelling of ankles, feet, or body, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing during sleep, and blood clots in the legs. Tell your doctor about your medical conditions and medications, especially insulin, corticosteroids, or medicines to decrease blood clotting. So. What do men do when a numbers too low .

Protesters were rushing the capital missouri today in response to a big abortion vote last night. The Legislature Passed a bill to require will tine waomen to wai days. The bill is written broadly, which democratic governor jay nixon criticized in a statement about whether he will sign into law. By failing to include an exce exception to rape and incest. This extreme proposal would separate missouri from all but one another state in the nation. Only two other states currently force will tine wait 72 hours before obtaining an abortion. Utah and south dakota. Joining me is cecile richards. Welcome. Good to see you. What is wrong with mandating a waiting period here . There is already a waiting period in missouri. Missouri has some of the harshest receive striction hars e est receive strictionstrictions. This law will do nothing to do that. It will harm women. The average woman in missouri who is trying to get a safe and legal abortion, already has to travel 100 miles. Only one Health Center in the entire state. So this kind of law is only intended to make it more difficult for will tune omen to the care they need. Is there the right number of days or no waiting mandated by politicians. What we are finding, politicians in missouri, alabama, or mississippi or home state of text tech. Theyre passing more and mr. Bills that have absolute leap nothi absolute lely to do with womens safety. Theyre a gauntlet to Access Health care. Medical professionals across the country oppose these restrictions and in missouri while doctors lined up to testify against intrusive legislation that has nothing to do with Womens Health and putting more and more barriers to womens access. Its important. When you put it like that. The sort of level of debate about the waiting and comparing this to, products, or consumer decisions or whatever. Isnt really what this is about. This is about a burden or what the Supreme Court used to call undue burden when they used to take that part of, of the law seriously. Let me play for you what one state representative, chuck gatsberger said about this in one of his analogies. Take a listen. Even when i buy a new vehicle this is my experience again. I dont go right in there and say i want to buy that vehicle. And then you walk, you know you leave with it. I have to look at it. Get information. Maybe drive it. A lot of different things. Check prices. There are a lot of things that i do, going into a decision. Whether that is a car. Whether that is a house. Whether that is any major decision that i put in my life. Even carpetcarpeting. Thats what the bill is. Having as much information as possible. I dont know that hey la lot women or doctors would definitely reach for the carpeting sales analogy. But what what does that kind of statement tell you . Well it is one more piece of evidence why politicians should not be interfering between doctors and patients. It is so insulting to think that a approximately ti a politician is considering decisions women make, childbearing, pregnancy, comparing that to buying carpet. An insult to the women of missouri and insult to women frankly across the country. Let me ask you, put up on the wall here from 2013. 70 abortion restrictions in 22 states. Lindsay graham demanding a vote on a abortion ban after 20 weeks. At the state level do you feel like you are losing . What is really frightening. Legislators opposed to focusing on the issues that voters are interested in, jobs and economy. Are in fact, just continuing to introduce bills that restrict womens rights. Its been, its been incredible. I think in missouri, this is a state where already, there are a number of receive striction res. Pushing governor nixon. Looking at this bill. Carefully considering it. It is an extreme set back for women in the state of missouri. We are really hoping he will veto it. Briefly, we read the statement. Sounded negative. What is he going to do . I have no idea what he will do. Women of missouri. Women and men in missouri are paying attention or watching. Women across the country are paying attention. This is an extreme measure. Will do nothing for Womens Health and will in fact harm women. Cecile richard. Great to have you on the last word. Thank you.

Check your speed. See how fast your internet can be. Switch now and add voice and tv for 34. 90. Comcast business built for business. Heres what the effort looks like from the International Space station. Taken by an international crew. Now a russian politician is threatening the agreement between the u. S. And russia that actually sends american astronauts to the International Space station. Astronomer derek pitts will explain. Thats next. Than the reviews said. Captain obvious this is a creepy room. Man oh hey, captain obvious. Captain obvious you should have used hotels. Com. Their genuine guest reviews are written by guests who have genuinely stayed there.

Houston, we have a problem. But its in moscow. Relations are still icy between the u. S. And russia. Now moscows deputy Prime Minister says russia will reject americas request to continue operations aboard the International Space station after the year 2020. Russia put the word out in a News Conference and on line with the deputy pm tweeting, they dont plan to continue operation with the u. S. On the iss after 2020. It is russias space agency. And russian soyuz rockets are the only things russian astronauts ride to got to the iss. Nasa is working with commercial firms to end reliance on russian rockets. A goal by 2017 before the madeup deadline. The russian move to end cooperation is thought to be a response to sanctions imposed by washington over the ongoing crisis in ukraine. Moscow also says it would forbid washington from using rocket engines made in russia that the pentagon used to launch satellites. Joining me is chief astronomer and planetarium director for Franklin Institute in philadelphia. He is also, great title, nasa solar system ambassador. Welcome. Thank you, ari. Whats going on here . Well, it is a really interesting, version of saber rattling if youve will. Because if you actually look at the details of the agreement that has been suggested for the partners in International Space station. The first two people to sign that were both the administrators of the National Space agencies for russia and the u. S. Charlie bolden here. And the russian counterpart of his, over there. And when you look at what is actually going on here, what you find is that, nasa and the Russian Space agency have had a good relationship. Literally well before the International Space station was launched and put into orbit. They have had a great relationship. The relation continues regardless of what the political situation is on the ground. Thats always been the history of the relationship between the two. Ever since russia stopped their attempt to get to the moon. We started working together to construct, to operate both space stations. Yeah, i appreciate that history. Although if youve go back far enough, of course, politics has always pervaded space battles. Russias Prime Minister was saying, a claim, get your thoughts on it. The russian segment can xiexist independently, the u. S. Cannot. Walk us through the technology. Is that true . No, i dont think it is true at all. You might say that, that, the way you can equate that is, there are Ground Control stations in the u. S. And russia. That are mirror images of each other. In case one of the operational stas stations is down. The other can take over. The only thing missing is launch capability. As you pointed out the u. S. Will have, u. S. Based launch escapability within a couple years. From more than one company in fact. Nasa will have its own launch escapability up and online by 2018 or 19. That launch capability is coming on quickly to. Have a threat from the deputy Prime Minister who isnt in the Space Program by the way, to say that this is something that wears going to be missing and they will be able to take over or they will deprive us of this access, really doesnt amount to very much. Considering how close we are to having our own launch capability. We also have to remember the fact that, in fact, the way you would really look at it, it would be a much greater loss for the russians to step away from this partnership than it would be for the americans because we still have all of the other partners involved. And then we have space station to our self. Then what would the russians look to for an identifier or marker of sophistication and askom mri acompolishment. It goes to the weird part of this. Given all the levers in this conflict. This is one that is highly long term. Right. Talking 2017, versus, 2020. You know, cable news we dont go too far past 2016. Our magic year. Why do you think theyre looking to bring longterm space collaboration into what has been so far mostlying mostlying m economic and diplomatic fight . Its a way to poke the United States, to say we have capability or push you into releasing economic sanctions or, relinquishing your economic sanctions against us for what is happening in the ukraine. Because we hold a card that you really need. None of that can happen right away. So it doesnt really make sense to say that this can come to a close. Or that theyre going to push for that to come to a close. No matter, all most no matter what the political situation has been in the history of space station operations, whether it is International Space station or mirror, the u. S. And russians have always worked closely together despite of what the political situation has been. And that will continue. Right. All right, derek pitts. Note of optimism. For the Franklin Institute. You get tonights last word. Thank you very much. If its interesting that this happens that way. That the russians actually bring this forward. But the russians need to be able to use this as a platform for their explorations as well as the United States using International Space station for a flat form. Yeah, its true on economic and oil issues as well. They sometimes sound like they have more cards than they do. Again, thank you very much. For everyone watching at home. Im ari melber in for Lawrence Odonnell. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. Thousands of fast food workers walked off the job to protest for higher wages. In dozens of cities from los angeles to atlanta to new york city people took to the streets to fight for 15. They did the same thing in chicago and new orleans. Its not enough money to be working for 8 an hour. Thats why im here again if it has to be twice, third time, five times im going to be here. We want common respect and the ability to unionize without anything coming back to harm us and our families. We have to make the difference. We have to change. We have to do something so they listen to us. This time its not just in the United States
