children with disabilities? we re hearing from both sides. david schwartz is an attorney and an autism advocate. he is defending the autistic child s family. and lisa giabenazzio is representing the families suing. she s also represented autistic children as part of her family practi practice. good morning. so, david let s start with this. the neighborhood in the neighborhood say this 11-year-old attacked their kids, his parents didn t do enough to stop him and he was a public nuisance. i m sure a lot of people would describe a lot of kids as a public nuisance. but does it seem to you like they re unfairly picking on him because he s got autism? absolutely unfairly targeting this young man because he has autism. and autism, they re making it seem like it s an unusual case. it s one out of 88. one out of 54 boys have autism. 60 million people around the world. so to isolate this young boy is
as donald trump would say, you re fired. david let s start with the news of the day. chris christie, the headline is the interim report found no conclusi conclusive evidence that christie 23450u of the bridge lane closures. there is an s.e.c. investigation. how viable is a christie candidacy? my concern if i were him or a supporter of his would be less those things, although they obviously have potentially deadly implications if they were to come to pass that he was implicated, i think the big problem is christie himself and his approach to politics. i mean, you know, people in jersey may think it s charming to be told to sit down and shut down but not in berlin, new
her fastball. did she ever have a fastball? she threw hard but the question is whether the ball went over the plate. that s still the question. can she get the ball over the plate and hit the issues and compel people to think she is running for a purpose and not just a promotion. that was the problem in 2007. that s the one she has to solve in 2016. she would make a mistake relying on the disarray of the republican party and lack of competition in the democratic party. this is not a tactical exercise. at the end of the day you have to stand for something and fight for something. you have to want to be there for a reason. i think so. it is great to close out the week with you, david. thanks for you time. thank you. coming up, some good news about america. because, man, do we need some. that s next. alright, so this tyl arthritis lasts 8 hours,
framed it, david and chris, as this is national security. these were leaks in major cases, everyone knows how unpopular the media are, far more unpopular. the american people have said in a number of polls how they feel about this. they feel that national security is more important than first amendment freedoms. it was not framed very advantageously. this is the chief law enforcement in the land who said this is a crime and that they re going to try to prevent these crimes. and he did what he did and he signed the affidavit and they went after james rosen as a co-conspirator. and now he has remorse about it, reading about all of this in the newspaper? i don t understand why he s folding on this. as a political matter. not on the substance of it. we don t think that this ought to be happening. but as a leadership matter, it s striking to me that a progressive attorney general, who is nevertheless the attorney general, seems to be letting his political views affect his views about crac
knaidel. you are the champion. and spellcheck, we have a winner. but he is not heading to disney world. good day, i m andrea mitchell live in washington, president obama is drawing a line against the republican house fix to prevent student financial aid from doubling. it boils down to a fight between fixed rates and floating rates so who s right? joining me now for our daily fix, chris cillizza, msnbc contributor and nbc s david gregory, moderator of meet the press. david let s talk about this. this is an argument over capping the rates, letting the rates float or fixing the rate. not, preventing it from doubling on july 1st as it s supposed to. who is correct here. because the wall street journal among others on the republican side say he s just picking this fight. but why doesn t he split the baby and come up with a negotiated solution? there may be room for a negotiated solution.
