question they want to hear. the star-ledger s reaction is the man has lost touch with reality. the editorial board goes on to say governor christie needs to pour himself a drink and ask himself the tough question why don t people love me? it could be the rotten job market. or the high property taxes. or the crumbling transit system. or the broken promise on pensions. or the private jets.. or the bridgegate indictments and so on. it s no wonder that new jersey is screaming a warning to the rest of the country. god forbid he gets a chance to make an even bigger mess on a larger stage. back with us is david frum and jeremy peters. david frum, i don t think this stiff drink is going to help him at all in this analysis. i would recommend he do it sober. but i just can t think of a
i think this has gotten crazy. by their theory, you should have a buzooky walking around, blowing away anyone in front of you if they cause your trouble. your thoughts? i do blame the gun lobby and the nra for this. they created a monster who no longer obeys them. if you look at school shootings, what the president said, the country needs to do soul sho searching. it s not the country, it s congress. we support background checks, 90% of us support why don t people vote on this issue? we are. no, no, i want to explain something to you. you know the difference as well as i, but i want to reiterate this. if you re like some people and all you vote on is gun rights, it s your only issue, you beat the people who think about it once in a while. until gun control people go in the voting booth with nothing else on their mind, not benghazi, not anything else but stopping the crazy availability of guns in this country will they be able to stand up to the gun lobby. you re right.
so but i laugh at it, but i m also going, i feel bad that i laugh at it. do you feel bad for people? it s interesting because it doesn t identify them with the kimmel show. when we go out, if you put a microphone in someone s face, it says fox news so people know who they re talking to. sometimes they decline to talk to you. this lady wasn t the only one who would need to google crimea. they edit a lot, right? they must get a lot of smart people. also, they have to get their permission to play it. they do? oh, yeah. have to sign something. i would if i was so stupid, i don t think i would let them play it, but i get sad when i watch the videos as funny as it is, because i think there s a lot of people who don t know what s happening in russia and aren t familiar with international affairs. this is my issue. there s a lack of honesty. why don t people look at them and say what are you talking about. i have to move on, but the
than they re having now. now you might ask well if this is the case why don t people in the majority parties in the majority change the rules all the time? the reason is, there s a reason it s called the nuclear option, it is because institutionally, both parties have this sort of an understanding that they may be in the majority now but they could be in the minority tomorrow and part of the beauty of the senate in the senate rules for the past few decades has been that minority rights are pretty strong as opposed to the house and so the respect for that has made it, made the leaders in both parties reluctant to change the rules but harry reid has gotten so fed up and wants to make a political point right now and it might happen today. wow that s a real change. the other calculation he has is looking forward and saying look, if we do this, it could be bad for us when we re in the minority but who is to say the republicans wouldn t change the rules anyway.
me, suggesting he is a bystander. i would what do you want him to do? i want him to say i found out what went wrong and fired this person. that s what i just said. whether or not that i mean that s a different thing. from your standpoint, obviously from thank you. from the work you do, do you hope what do you hope people see in the next month or two? there are those w40 say, why don t people in the tea party, conservatives allow it to roll out and just let it fail and let people come around to your point of view. i think what they proved is that government can t do complicated things and once you create this complicated infrastructure the irs is not a complicated thing? how well does that work? when i heard this president say this half apology it reminded me the apology for the
