president on progressive issues, when the rubber meets the road, we may be able to drive the car somewhere. and let me tell you, we have to drive the car somewhere. i mean, i think our responsibility and you do it so well every day, rev, our responsibility is to get that information out there. if we could organize the unemployed in republican districts and get them out to vote, i think we could bring about the change we need which is new leadership in the house of representatives. thank you congresswoman karen bass and corey dade, thank you both for your time tonight. and have a happy and productive new year. same to you. same to you, rev. coming up, it s been a record-setting year for speaker boehner, but i don t think he ll be popping the champagne to celebrate this one. and it s become a conservative talking point. that 2013 was a horrible year for president obama.
a risky proposition. do you think republicans will be good enough to us to threaten the full faith and credit for us in this quarter? sure. acquire. absolutely. look what ted cruz did the last time. let me make john s point for the second. the fact is in the end, the president last time accepted a package out of the senate that reopened the government by tying it all together. now, i m just curious, this is sort of the president s red line number 600. i mean, you know, how often in your mind, how often remember we re never going to budge on the man dade, budged all over the place. you go down the list of things, we re not going to budge on syria, not going to bunch on iran. isn t there a point when people start shrugging and going, this is all posturing? they do, but at the same time there are some read deadlines that do come up. there are consequences without action, so that s what the president has been playing to,
democrats, they re looking at it for what s good for the country from a centrist left point of view. now that will not go over very well, sally gives me this side eyes. it s not going to go over well which you. but there is a legitimate dewitt to be had about what to do about social security. just because social security is fine now doesn t mean it will be fine in 2031 and something needs to be done. folks at third way are looking at this as 2031 will get here whether we like it or not. so let s get things in place as they would say save social security, stair med dade, medicare. that s what s interesting to me if we want to talk about social security, what is interesting to me about this moment. the dewitt about social security, as long as i have been alive and hearing this has been framed in those terms. save soerm social security. salvage social security in 1983 we always had these dates. there is an attempt at least by
things that the apartheid south african government did was they couched their oppression in terms of the communist struggle, that essentially the anc was riddled through with communists and pro-cubans. when nelson mandela was freed and made this tour. when he got to miami, he was actually rejected by the local government in miami, two mayors of miami and miami dade would not receive mandela because he was perceived as being pro-castro. so there was this whole sort of cold war fight that was tied up in the south african struggle. and it was part of the reason that the reagan administration opposed the idea of sanctions and divestment from south africa. please stay with us. coming up, we will look at
derailment in new york city. at least four people are dead and 40 injured. the metro north train went off the tracks this morning at a station in the bronx. we are continuing to follow that story as soon as we have updates, we will get them there. we do know there may still be people on that train. and there are more rescue units than we can count at this point. we will keep you up to date. here in washington, administration officials say there s been dramatic progress to the crippled obama care website. are the fixes on the consumer side hiding even bigger problems on the back end? joining me around the table, kevin madden, cory dade, contributing editor at theroot.com and donna brazil. thank you all for joining us. this caught my eye, it was from a column or sort of a how to from kathleen sebelius which appeared yesterday and among her hints to how to deal with this website now was to shop
