was offering almost the explanation that his conduct comes from a different generation. since when was it acceptable for men to grab women in a head lock? i don t think it s ever been considered acceptable. going into behavioral therapy for two weeks is basically a two-with he can refret from the media than doing something that s going to change his behavior or rectify anything. this is a man who has had apparently decades of this kind of conflict and he s going to resolve it in two weeks. there s no evidence he would be able to do that. if he s doing instinct actionable, there should be actions taken. garance, thank you so much for coming to us, and professor james peterson, thank you, sir. when we come back, we ll shift our focus to egypt where massive be demonstrations are once again under way. we ll have a live report from cairo in just a moment. it starts with something little, like taking a first step.
we passed the marriage equality act and that s what he s seeking to overrule. he vetoed it in new jersey, gay marriage. that argument of besmirching the legacy of bill clinton on doma, garance. he s in denial about what happened in the 1990s this. is just classic american history. we change our views on something and suddenly we pretend we re never were that other way and i think there s a kind of moment he s just denying what actually happened in the 1990s. even bill clinton himself said no, i don t sean, i wonder when i look at christie and look at the issue the gay marriage and where public opinion is trending on this, when will it be safe? will it ever be safe for a republican to run for president and support gay marriage? i think it will. not in 2016 but even within the republican party you see the same age breakdown that we see in the national polls, younger republicans are more in favor of gay marriage or marriage equality than older republicans are. i think we re pr
difference. garance, there s still one wildcard in the 2016 deck, vice president joe biden. he spock today at the white house about gun violence. take a listen to. to this. because of the invocation of a rule perverted filibuster rule requiring 60 votes for everything in order to get a vote, we lost. 41 republicans and four democrats voted no. i m confident some of them, i know for a fact some of them wonder now whether that was a prudent vote. garance for the 41 republicans and four democrats who took that vote against background checks, how much of a political price do you think that will be in 2014? i think it might be a little bit less of a price than some of the democrats think it will be. there s some polling out showing in some of the southern states in arkansas, in georgia, in
tennessee, there s a great deal of support actually for the kind of proposals that were on the table and that got voted down. right. i agree with garance. the gun safety community is not punishing people who go against us at the ballot box. not yet. the gun control the gun rights side is absolutely punishing people and they know that lawmakers know they will be punished if they go across. joe manchin for example. we have to get into a position where they know that the gun safety community will punish them. otherwise, they re free to cross the aisle as they wish. for the first time after this failure to pass gun control legislation, we re seeing the gun control lobby come out with a lot of money and a lot of force for the first time, right? michael bloomberg s group among others is taking to the airwaves. i think that could be a game changer. isn t it the case mckay, that the vice president speaks ominously about those who voted against this background checks bill.
the nra is still working hard at targeting on the other side. so this argument implying as the vice president just did, that somehow people are going to think, well, that wasn t a prudent prudent vote, as far as the nra was concerned, that s a very prudent vote, isn t it? , of course. there s always been a very active powerful influential gun lobby represented by the nra. that s not going to change. i think the fact that the gun control lobby and gun control advocates have finally gotten their act together and have money behind them and behind their effort could make the difference in terms of them going up against the nra. we ll see how it shakes out in 2014. tourry maki, and garance, thank you so much all of you. a dear john letter. if the speaker can t must ter a majority to back an immigration bill, does he really deserve to lose his job? maybe. what s the
