parodying star trek and gilligan s island ? you can bet it will come up today. we ll listen in if it gets fiery. meantime, let bring it to the table. you may have noticed krystal looks a little different today. jonathan capehart is in for her. oh, hi. hi, everybody. i m here. two great fans here, apparently. i know, really. i think if you want to look at the optics, whenever there is rank hipoypocrisy. if you are the most hated bureau in the government because you literally, legally, take people s money for a living, maybe watch how much you spend on your corporate events. it s just kind of obvious stuff that you should learn in pr 101. but to a serious point, there have been rumors swirling that
protects gun owners rights against the big, intrusive government. that s number one and marvelously successful with that. second thing is image. one thing that s interesting about this, about 30% according to a gallup survey, of african-americans are legally registered gun owners. and overall, the majority contrary to what people and public opinion is led to believe majority of gun owners are nonwhite and therefor why not now? the nra, a black eye they have had. politics comes in to try to influence everything and everybody and now why not bring in african-americans and latinos if they can? good window dressing and pr and then prevents those from saying, well, you see, we re just a bunch of good old white guys ultra conservative and torpedo everything sensible with responsible gun control
that possible run. are you going to run in 2016? that s way off in to the future. you will not rule out a run for president in the year 2016? i won t but i m not going to declare today either, matt. joining me now live nbc senior political editor mark murray. in addition to that degree move, there s news regarding immigration reform. a comprehensive form he commented on. tamron, yeah. two interesting pieces of news. the first in the clip you played jeb bush suspect closing the door to a potential presidential bid. it is worth noting he s trying to sell a new book called the immigration wars and pr 101, always good to throw out you might be running for president. not surprising there. jeb bush in that book and in subsequent interviews including with matt lauer said that his plan for immigration reform doesn t center around citizenship. that s interesting because he did favor a pathway to
