or if someone else is acting erratically. the driver of a bus, for example. so, from here what more can be done to prevent this kind of tragedy from happening in the future on these flights? well the woulda coulda shouldas i think we ve all had those in our lives and we re bound to have more because we re just human. we don t get it right away. what could be done? i think what s going to have to happen is with the way medical treatments are done for people in certain critical industries and critical positions, and that is that we re going to electronic medical records and reporting. it s going to have to be where people in a fail-safe position are going to have to sign away the ability to have their medical records reported to in this case the faa in the united states, or whatever the civil aeronautic agency is in other countries.
americans won t accept a large incursion of forces on the ground. so some may call it a compromise. it s a wise military strategy the military has been looking at for a long time. i couldn t agree more on that in terms of general stance of caution. he seems to have learned a lesson in the way of history. the question is whether this approach of a proxy war he s been advocating first at west point and now in his latest comments is cautious enough. because of the long-term repercussions. hogan, another area the president tried have a middle of the road approach was in syria where he did want to act. there was that move to bring this to the hill. and then the hill did stymie that. now there are people saying we could have headed isis off if we acted in syria and earlier. does congress bear culpability for not doing that? look, i think there s a lot of coulda, woulda, shoulda. we got into the war. some people are blaming bush. some are blaming this president.
woulda, shoulda done. if that is him, what are we going to do about it? as always, keep up the fight. do nonforget to catch rev at 6:00 p.m. right here omsnbc. joining mess from washington is eugene robinson. here in new york, entertainer artist kamal bell. it has been a crazy week, month, year in race relations? i just i ll start with you, eugene. let me first play this one piece of sound. that whole kind of exchange that is being credited, i guess you could call it to donald sterling is outrageous, but this piece in particular stuck out to me. let s take a listen to it. do you not know that you have a whole team that s black that pays for? do i know? i support them and gives them
quickly in terms of support for equal rights. not just on the left, but in the middle as well. certainly in the middle as well. but he was pointing out that just a couple about a year ago, barack obama was not yet a supporter of marriage equality. just a couple of months ago hillary clinton announced her support of marriage equality. so on the one hand to have democrats celebrate someone as late as hillary clinton but to admonish smun like phil robertson who s not there yet shows there s a double standard at play and that s all we re pointing out. when this moonshine summit happens, let us know. i hope it does. the invitation is there. we have a message out to a & e s executive vice president of communications, so we ll see what happens. keep us posted. executive director of the log cabin republicans, thank you so much. thanks for having me. the year congress stole. the agenda panel will take a look back at the year that coulda, woulda, shoulda been. also lawsuits and
woulda, shoulda, coulda. i want to get to chris s bigger point. because you keep trying to say somehow or other the president ought to be blamed here. what has to be blamed here is the republican house that will not make a deal. ronald reagan made a deal on tax reform. lyndon johnson made a deal on medicare. those days are gone. any deal the president tries to make gets opposed in the house. the only way we ve gotten anything passed this year, anything significant, is for john boehner to break the rule that a bill can t come to the floor without a majority of the majority. we can get out of sequestration. there are enough republican votes in the house combined with almost every democrat to pass a deal. same thing is true on immigration reform. but i don t think we re going to get any of those things if you
