that same thing s true right now. is he a reagan republican in your mind, susan? absolutely not. just because you use the man s name, this guy has been in office, he s a senator for ten months. and has been only disruptive to the process. i agree that people want jobs. but that requires responsible leadership and getting things done in washington. that s exactly the opposite of what he s been promoting. just because you have a good line of rhetoric doesn t mean you re getting the job done. goldie, let s listen to a bit more of what cruz said. here it is. i think americans are deeply frustrated that washington is broken. and i think it s a bipartisan problem. i mean, i think the biggest divide we have is not between republicans and democrats. it is between entrenched politicians in both parties in washington and the american people. so this is the guy, goldie, who is really the face of the tea party for many. and yet, here we have a populist
into the locker room i think is despicable beyond measure. susan, does the fact that some teammates said they considered richie incognito a quote honorary black man, does that suggest to you the world of professional sports has different standards, that it s existing outside the real world we all live in? it shows there no professionalism in professional football. it s one thing with the cafeteria tray. but what you ig con nit toe did is despicable. he s shown this behavior all along. this shouldn t come as a surprise. he s gotten into brawls in night clubs several times. he has the new charge he s harassed a female volunteer at a golf tournament. this is a despicable person. since he s been allowed to get away with it for so long, that s elevated a lot of the hazing that s gone on in these locker rooms. it s disturbing people are blaming jonathan martin for not being tougher or now the conforming right. disturbing
good to talk with you. time for the big three now. unneccessary roughness, cruz said what and best week, worst week. the big three panel, host of disrupt with karen finney, contributor goldie taylor whose new column breaking black is featured every monday on the grio and contributor susan del%io. wow, what a lineup. have to go through the whole segment giving you guys titles here. first to the unnecessary roughness. let s continue the conversation about the hazing mess involving the dolphins. karen calling it hazing, do you think that s underselling it. absolutely. we need to understand this is the kind of behavior. we see this starting with kids getting bullied when young and we tolerate it at this level. we shouldn t be surprised they say it s just hazing part of the rituals. when you read some of the stories, it s pretty dispeckable behavior and i don t think it should be part of accepted culture. goldie, incognito apparently
karen, it sounds like incognito is getting more support from teammates. that s the team culture which is another issue you want to address. that is the team culture. they re going to back up their players for good or bad. i think what s despicable to me is they are saying incognito is a so-called honorary black man or that martin is not quite black enough as if going to an ivy league institution somehow makes you less than black. there s a real problem here. i think the nfl investigation has got to get to the bottom of it. susan, we re going to move on to cruz said what. the texas senator was on the tonight show with jay leno last night. here s what he said. remember, reagan challenged an incumbent republican president in 1976 in a primary and there was a grass-roots revolution where he said listen, this isn t working. let s get back to free market principles, back to the constitution because economic growth, people want jobs. they want opportunity. and what we re doing isn t
by clinging to the past. and with that: you re history. instead of looking behind. delta is looking beyond. 80 thousand of us investing billions. in everything from the best experiences below. to the finest comforts above. we re not simply saluting history. we re making it. it s time for the big three and today s topic s, creepy uncle, getting personal and best week, worst week. my big three panel, democratic strategist morris reid, msnbc contributor susan del%io and national reporter aaron carmone. morris, let s talk about creepy uncle with you first. we were talking about this highly controversial new anti-obama health care campaign. before we play the ad, i want to warn you, this has offended a
