King. And just what exactly is wrong with kids these days. It just seemed beneath the office to be talking to the youtubers. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york im chris hayes. Tomorrow it begins. The Iowa Caucuses starts tomorrow in des moines, iowa. That is the kick off to it. Its the iowa freedom summit. A sold out gathering of about 1200 conservative activists where all of the undeclared candidates are scheduled to speak. The event is cohosted by conservative nonprofit Citizens United. Yes, Whose Supreme Court case ushered in an area of spending. And also by steven king. A man who just three days ago referred to an immigrant activist sitting in Michelle Obamas box at the speech as a deportable. I should sit with alido. To. That is just art of what king has become known for. In 2012 he compared immigration to dog breeding. You go in and look at a little of pups and you watch how they play and run around. You want a good bird dog and the one that will be aggressive. Pick the one that is most engaged and not the one sitting in the corner. You get the pick of the litter. It is hard to get here, they had to be inspired to come. Also he asserted that most dreamers immigrants that came to the u. S. As children are drug smugglers. That were not all brought in by their parents. They are hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert. Because of that history, a number of activists are also converging on des moines tomorrow two latino Centric Networks that plan to cover the summit. They took out an ad to get the attention of those coming to down. They are calling on Iowa Republicans to denounce kings views on immigration. A group of dreamers and other advocates are holding a series of events intended to disrupt the summit and challenge the candidates. One of the activists confronted him before for his childhood arrivals. Im a dreamer, im originally from mexico but i have been raised here i graduated from arizona state. Arizona is the university, i know you want to get rid of doca. That was rand paul you saw literally running away from the table. He will not be attending tomorrow. Two years ago you could have wring off steve king. The party had to do more to attract voters. Since then there has been a major reversal that few could have predicted. Now steve king more or less speaks for the g. O. P. In 2013 they voted overwhelmingly for an amendment that would have put hundreds of thousands of dreamers at threat of deportation. They just passed a bill to defund the most recent executive orders that will protect millions from deportation. If you need any more proof of his stature, look no further than him being kingmaker. He said he is very excited to see all of these potential candidates up front. He notes that a lot of the promises that people make about their issue positions, their Party Platforms this early in the campaign are things that follow them all the way through the general election that is good for someone like steve king on what he wants to hear from candidates on issues like im graduation. There is also an amount of personal vindication. He keeps a list of republicans that have criticized him, usually over immigration. That is a remarkable thing to say. It is like she taking a victory lap. He reps the hard line faction. There is an official victory for the steve king wing of the republican party. The way he puts it sme that i didnt do anything. Its the activists, im just the messenger messenger. There is no doubt he made his name as the most vocal immigration hard liner in the house. At this point there is no denying that he is running the show when is comes to the immigration agenda there. Three times he managed to get immigration through the house over the last two years targeting dreamers. And Immigration Reformers have had no success at all getting a single piece of legislation to the floor. Doing some great reporting in iowa, thank you. Thank you. Im joined now by erica who was Erika Andiola who was confronting him. Yeah we know there is a couple candidates that will come join steve king. One of the most outspoken members that we have right now have that been trying to defund the actions and undo what the president announced and announced in 2012. Were making sure we hear from the folks that come down that are trying to run in 2016 as a president ial candidate and to see why they would follow the steps of steve king. I think it is important that they understand that following his steps are not going to help them at all with the Latino Community. This is personal for you. You came when you were 11. I understand you were covered the first time in 2012 youre on the line here right . In some foreseeable future when republicans take power, theyre on the record wanting to deport you, personally literally you and hundreds of thousands and millions of others like you. Thats correct. And i think for us thats why it is so important to make sure that we have the right person and someone who really understands the issues of the e immigrant community here. We saw that midromney in 2012 he adopted a rhetoric of deport them all were or self deportation. He really came up with a lot of ret rim that at the end of the day didnt help them with the latino vote. I think i dont know if they have learned from that. I dont know if the g. O. P. Have learned that lesson and were here to tell them that they should learn that lesson. Even though theyre not here, laich jeb bush, we hope they stay away from steve kings rhetoric and were really hoping to get the Latino Community to support him in 2016. Do you see people showing up at this event as simply an endorsement of steve kings policies and a rhetoric on immigration . We do the fact is that in a couple of months ago we saw that senator rand paul who potentially is also someone that could run in 2016 when we went up to steve king he left. I think for us they have that courage to face us and tell us they think we should be deported. Then it is fine but they dont, they dont have the courage. They just show up with steve king to different events and we have a strong message, stay away from people like steve king who really have nothing good to offer to the undocumented community. You make a good point. If they believe it is a policy to deport people like you, then they should be able to tell you that to your face. If they think that is the right policy, they want to see that, thats best for america, humanity, and the country. They should say theyre a party of deportation right now and thats not what theyre do p thank you, i appreciate it. Thank you for having me. Tomorrow in iowa everyone is trying to read the tea leaves about who is and who is not attending. Marco rubio, jeb bush and mitt romney will not be coming. He was among the champions of kpe comprehension in the past. Jeb bush whose wife is originally from mexico is asking for a more compassionate stance. And mitt romney may be bouncing back from self deportation that he suggested the last time around. They are competing for a set of business minded donors that support Immigration Reform or some form of it and understand that people like steve king are not helping with the longterm demographic challenges. You would think someone would fall into that who is attending tomorrow that someone is new jersey governor Chris Christie. The donor class sees him as a moderate with cross over appeal. And who signed a version of the dream act into law in new jersey. But since jeb bush and mitt romney threw their hats in the ring, i think Chris Christie is essentially doing this. Recalculating. Continue. 7 miles, then turn right on to i40 east. He is recalculating what he thinks is his new route to the white house and it is going through iowa. We have Steve Kornaki with us now. That area he occupied just got more crowded. And those guys are big, they got lots of Huge Networks how do you read his attendance in iowa . There is a long back story. In 2009 when he was running for governor, the democrats teams up with democratic congressmen to have hearings over Chris Christie. John ashcroft had been the attorney general. Chris ti put on his show he left and stormed out. During that whole soap opera, he formed an unlikely bond with steve king. This is sort of the ultimate test of what is his strategy to get the nomination. They are at a history at odds. What the Chris Christie people believe is that the power of his personality is so strong and compelling to republicans who would normally call him in rhino, they will start working back wards and excusing it. They dont think they can be the candidate of steve king. What theyre going for is the steve king will not condemn Chris Christie. So what they want to be maybe, in the slotting that is happening with figuring that are very popular and competition for big money donor. Chris christie put in the work of building these relationships with the value day tors. He does not want the base to be saying that is the traitor, the guy we have to stop. There is something about, i said today when we were talking about this i said i think as a political talent Chris Christie is the best. He is a great politician he is very good at it. I was covering new jersey when he was the u. S. Attorney and he was things like that. It was amazing. He would walk into the room. It was the bush era, College Students were mad, and they would warm up and theyre laughing and cheering at the end. To do that kind of thing, you have to show up at the events. The problem with him showing up is the fusion, and the whole Spanish Language press covers these things in detail everyone will associate with you, and you with him. So in the challenge there, i think what they see it as it dont say any of the stuff that steve king says. Dont be next to him when he says anything like that. Dont be cornered in an awkward moment. You can always just do the rand paul eject button and literally run. Steve kornacki, thank you. Well be back in a moment. Zleerchlts here is how the New York Times spoke of abdullah. The surprising tenor of the mainstream coverage of his death, next. Today, saudi arabia buried sing abdullah in an unmarked grave per tradition. His death prompted unusual reaction. The u. S. Relationship, and our Strategic Military partnership. Vice President Joe Biden will be traveling in the coming days to saudi a arabia as a official event. What is surprising is the coverage of a man that whatever the rest of his record has a leader was, an unelected dictator who publicly whips people. The New York Times, king abdullah, a shrewd force. A they say his right brought about marginal advances for women. They said 2011 the regime has grown peven sharper. He said saudi tanks to help them crush the arab spring uprising in 2011. Joining me now is ame now is ayman. They are not a particularly enlightened place, correct . That is beyond fair to say, it is a very accurate statement. Im bending over backwards to be fair. I think the way they look at it is not to compare them with enlightened states but to compare them to where they were when he took the helm of the country. I think people are trying to walk that line. He took the country incremental incrementally forward. There are certain values that should be applyied today. They dont need to be marginally and incrementally moving forward. In terms of the principal, this country here executes people. How you carry out that Capital Punishment is always up for debate. And that is the thing, maybe they carry out a primitive and what we consider inhumane and cruel punishment. There is a lot of people on the left they think would delight in pointing out their bad human rights record. But all of the politics in that region from the american perspective, it is judgments about what will bring about stability and best help the region. This is a close ally the United States. They have a cia drone base there. In the past they have thousands of u. S. Soldiers there. They used to have bases there. In addition to that theyre a massive supplier of oil. I can give you a long list of why they matter to the u. S. And regional. There is no two questions about it. On the issue of arab spring and reform, this is a individual that opposed he supported the military government in egypt. This is the role he plays. He played that role he exblessed that role and he used all of his resources to back that role. He said at some point that well just match the dollars. Although he opposed that kind of political islam reform he was also a big supporter of the revolution in syria to topple assad. He knew that assad is a close ally of iran who is a huge regional rival. Mcdonalds super sized problems and everyone is weighing in on the deflation gate scandal. Whats the word on the street .

We have come to think of the mcdonalds franchise as a permanent feature of the american landscape. We just assume they will always be there. After a slew of really bad news for the company, it seems possible that their power is not as durable as it once seemed. Mcdonalds right no is in trouble. Announcing today a 21 drop in profit. There is many reasons for their fall. Mcdonalds attempts to appeal to customers. The costs of expanding menus and adding personalization options so that mcdonalds and its ilk can better compete angered franchise owners. They threw a hail mary pass this week with a commercial saying maybe if we tug at americas heart strings you will buy our food. If youre lost and alone there was no small amount of criticism for invoking tragedies to sell hamburgers. On top of that there is the constantly percolating truth that the means by which billions of hamburgers are served can get pretty gnarl cry. Ten employees are suing saying they demeaned africanamerican works. Called them bitch, ghetto and ratchet. Inappropriately touched nael throws on legs and buttocks, and solicited sexual acts. For decades, mcdonalds has pursued a very profitable Business Strategy of cheap food cheap labor, and high volume. Between workers mobilizing for high power and better wages, customers seeking out Higher Quality food and better practices, maybe all of that is finally coming to an end. N last 12 hours.

Mommy hey the novel today released a statement saying the evidence it collected thus far suggest that the footballs used by the new England Patriots were indeed under inflated. This scandal has dominating the nation this week. Sesame street had a episode with the word of the day as inflate. Said nearly 40 interviews have been conducted which is being aided by a firm with forensic the footballs were properly inflated for the second half and remained properly inflated. The second half as my super fan producer reminds you is when the pats blew the game wide open. Though here is where i temperature in what else they were doing during that half we havent heard about yet. Robert craft said his team will continue to cooperate. The reviews have been coming in for tom bradys press conference yesterday when he denied any wrong doing. They have been stellar. It has been clear that i was going to take the job of tom brady, quarterback of the new England Patriots. That is a pretty good line a numberer of former nfl players say they think that brady is lying. Those balls were deflated. Somebody had to do it. And i dont believe there is an equipment manager in the nfl on his own initiative would deflate a ball without the starting quarterbacks football. Today, ridiculous
