Y, our series will continue tomorrow night and throughout the week. Nick, appreciate your time tonight. Thats the ed show. Politicsnation with reverend al sharpton starts right now. Good evening, rev. Good evening, ed, and thanks to you for tuning in. Tonights lead, the gops historic interference with an american president. Its president s day. A day to honor all president s, past and present, regardless of party. And yet on the eve of president s day, a brazen political attack from republicans, undermining the commander in chief. Speaker boehner explaining why he invited the israeli Prime Minister to address Congress Without telling president obama. I wanted to make sure that there was no interference. Theres no secret here in washington about the animosity that this white house has for
Prime Minister netanyahu. I frankly didnt want that getting in the way and quashing what i thought was a real opportunity. Going around the president in a matter of Foreign Policy. Think about that. Its disrespectful, and it contradicts what the speaker said earlier. You blindsided the white house with that. We gave them a heads up that morning. Inviting a foreign leader to speak to Congress Without talking to the president is something new. But its been the formula for this congress. Disrespect and dysfunction. Speaker boehner also now says hes prepared to let Homeland Security funding run out rather than make a deal with democrats. And a growing number of conservatives say theyre not sweating a Homeland Security shutdown putting politics over people to attack the president. Its not working for republicans
or the country. Joining me now is former pennsylvania governor ed rendell, former dnc chair as well, ed rendell and salon. Coms joan walsh. Thank you both for being here. Thank you rev. My pleasure. Governor, Speaker Boehner didnt want the president to get in the way. Whats your reaction to that . Well its just abysmal for the speaker to have done this. Look, there can only be one person that conducts United StatesForeign Policy. Congress has its say in advising and consenting on war. But other than that, the administration, whether its republican or democrat, conducts Foreign Policy. And america has to speak with one voice. Once we start speaking with two voices it shatters any attempt we have to conduct a cogent and reasonable Foreign Policy. The speaker should be ashamed of
himself. This is politics at its worst level. Its shocking to me. When you think that Ronald Reagan chose tip oneil to go over as an emsary to speak to gorbachev, think of how far weve fallen in those days when two political polar opposites could cooperate in the benefit of the country. Joan have you ever seen anything like this . No, i cant think of anything comparable. Tip oneil is a great example. Can you imagine pelosi doing this to george w. Bush . You now have five former israeli ambassadors to the United States saying, this is a big mistake. Five . Five. Not just one or two outliers but five including the most immediate predecessor. So the idea that this is going around and to call it interference, the president cant interfere, its his
Foreign Policy. So condescending and patronizing. You picked the word that i want to use for this next clip for the governor. He says hes doing this to help the president. But the president doesnt realize it. Watch this, talk about condescending, governor rendell. Frankly, we want to hear what the Prime Minister of israel has to say because what were trying to do is strengthen the president s hand in these negotiations. I understand he says he didnt want it. He doesnt understand that were trying to strengthen his hand. I mean, he doesnt understand were doing this to strengthen his hand. I mean theres nothing ive heard more condescending than that. Well condescending and flatout disinjennious. The speaker knows this is going to hurt the president s ability to conduct Foreign Policy not help it. The president speaks to
netanyahu often. He doesnt need to hear Prime Minister netanyahu addressing the congress. The speaker is smarter than that. He knows its i political attempt to embarrass the president. Hes not trying to help him one iotas worth. Since the president has given his war powers request to congress weve heard republicans say they dont think the president even wants to destroy isis. Listen to this. I dont believe that the president really wants to prosecute a war that would truly destroy isil. I dont think he has any intention of doing that. I think theres a lot of skepticism about the administrations commitment to dealing with isis or isil, or whatever you want to call them. And that creates a lot of concern. I mean that is ugly rhetoric, joan. And keep in mind, 60 of
democrats Want Congress to approve the president s request. 51 of independents support it. 52 of republicans support it. Im trying to figure this out. Is attacking the president just a kneejerk reaction, or even if it doesnt make political sense its just they dont know what else to do, thats their kneejerk reaction . This is something weve seen them do. Theyre calling his loyalty to the country into question and his competence upon but its not just competence. Is it really is, does he want to they dont say this but theres an echo of, does he have dual loyalties . Is he insufficiently dedicated to the defeat of our enemies . It comes up again and again. I find it unbelievable they would Say Something like that. I may not agree with the president on all of this, you may not either. But we can have a debate. But to insinuate not
insinuate say he doesnt want to defeat them is just a level of insult that really has no place in this. And governor heres a president that brought us out of iraq, a president that got bin laden, on and on and on and he doesnt understand Foreign Policy, were strengthening his hand . And even the Christian Science monitor is writing about how the president has returned to political rock star status. Quote, its a curious twist that involves obama smu completely turning the tables on republicans during what was supposed to be their finest hour. And clearly the liberal base that once provided the electricity for obamas mega watt stardom is buzzing once again. Governor, youve been around and helped to do a lot of things in your career. How do you see this playing out
the last quarter of the president and this congress . How do you see this playing out . The republicans may feel pretty heady because they used the president to win the Congressional Election in 14. But things have turned. And if they do these games and the games are fairly transparent, everyone knows theyre doing this stuff, not to help the president , but to try to tear him down, theyre doing it at some substantial risk to themselves. And, look these guys are full of hot air. If they want to get isis so badly, vote to give the president the power to do what he wants to do with isis. Theres no excuse for every republican not voting. I dont want to hear one republican say this president doesnt want to get isis when they wont vote to authorize the president to do what he wants to do against isis. They should shut up until they vote it. Governor ed rendell and joan walsh, thank you both for your
time tonight. Thank you, rev. Thank you, rev. Coming up Justice Ruth Bader ginsburgs exclusive interview with msnbc.

Developing news tonight in the fight against terror. On two continents, that fight we saw today, in libya reports that 35 more egyptians have been kidnapped by isis. Just hours after this video
surfaced showing 21 other egyptian christians beheaded by the terrorist group. Those beheadings prompting egypt to launch air strikes on isis targets today in libya. Its a dramatic escalation of the isis threat outside its bases in syria and iraq. This is all unfolding as denmark says it looks like islamic radicalism inspired the suspect in the copenhagen shootings. Police killed them in a shootout yesterday after he allegedly shot and killed two people and injured five others in backtoback attacks. People have arrested two people they think helped in the attack. The police have brought them into custody. And now we have a new audio recordings of the moment he started shooting first. Why do we still say but when we [ gunfire ] joining me now, jim arcadis former Defense Department official. Thanks for being here. Lets start with isis. First they anger egypt now theyre provoking arab powers in the region. Is that really a smart strategy for them . Well, its fascinating whats going on in libya right now. You have this group that is basically theyre a lot of returning fighters who have spent time in iraq and syria and then gone to libya. Its an ungoverned territory. Isis has talked about how its Fertile Ground for them because it is ungoverned. There are a let of weapons left over from the gadhafi era and it has a lot of radicals who have returned from iraq and syria. And so this technique where
theyve kidnapped these christians from egypt and then brutally executed them is a way where this group that has sought allegiance with isis and has receive baghdadis blessing isiss blessing, has now its almost like theyre trying to show isiss headquarters in iraq and syria how serious they are. And theres a good possibility reverend, that they are on the verge of trampolineleing on their own message. Theyre being so brutal in a way to attract more people to show theyre the new kid on the block. Meanwhile, theyre alienating a lot of average people in the street who ultimately they depend on to tolerate their existence in a place like libya which is in the midst of cleaning up after a long civil war. And long those lines you have militant groups in at least 11 countries, have declared
allegiance or support of isis. How much of this is real connection . And how much is just local groups trying to piggy back on isiss notoriety . Thats an excellent point. And its probably as much of the latter, that is to say, individuals throughout europe and north africa who see that isis is the new terrorist network, has sort of displaced al qaeda to a certain degree, and people who have experience fighting in iraq and syria now return to their home countries and say, oh we know some people who were in isis, we want to be like them. Meanwhile, id hazard a fairly well informed guess that theres not much formal communication between isiss leadership and these groups that are trying to pledge allegiance throughout the region. Now shifting to denmark, heres what were learning about the suspect in the copenhagen shootings. Born in denmark he has a criminal record including violence and weapons arrests and
he left prison just two weeks ago. It doesnt look like he was affiliated with any terror group. Is this kind of lonewolf attack the biggest concern for Security Officials right now, jim . Well, its certainly a very important concern, because individuals like this gentleman i shouldnt call him a gentleman in koeppencopenhagen can acquire weapons, identify a target and approach and shoot it up without formal direction from al qaeda or any number of terrorist groups throughout the region. So we live in the United States and obviously copenhagen is in denmark, in western europe, and we have a strong tradition of not living in a police state. So when we have these long actors, who take things into their hands, in the media we ask, what happened in the
Security Services . How did this guy get through . But theres a balance between security and privacy in all of our countries. And no matter how many resources we dedicate to Security Services who track these guys who are horrible, horrible folks the bottom line is that we cant actually track all of them all the time. Jim arcadis thank you for your time tonight. Thank you, reverend. Still ahead, Justice Ginsburg and her tough comments on race. And this republican congress.

as we celebrate black history month, were reminded of the progress this countrys made in Race Relations, but we also are reminded of the major challenges we still face. Were just weeks away from the 50th anniversary of the march from selma to montgomery. And while the house unanimously passed a bill to honor the thousands who marched in 1965, Congress Still hasnt acted to restore the Voting Rights act, which was gutted by a Supreme Court decision in 2013. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote the dissent on that sdition and in a new msnbc interview, she says members of congress cant wish away our countrys history of discrimination. Im wondering how you see the current state of Race Relations in our country. People who think you can wave a magic wand and the legacy of the past will be over, are
blind. Should we be worried that all of those agreement achievements of the Civil Rights Movement are being rolled back . Some day we will go back to having the kind of legislature that we should, where members, whatever party they belong to want to make the thing work. We need a legislature that wants all americans to have equal rights. And we need more judges like Justice Ginsburg to speak out when those rights are challenged. Joining me now is msnbcs erin karm own and james peterson. Thank you both for being here. Thanks, rev. Great view. Great job. Justice ginsburg was very strong in her dissent on votes rights in her opinion that she wrote. What does she say needs to
happen now . Whats interesting, i think there were two audiences for her comments. One was her fellow justices, the ones who in the majority opinion in the Shelby CountyVoting Rights decision, basically said, you know what, this history is over, theres no more racism. We dont need the kinds of federal protections we had to protect Voting Rights anymore, so shes saying, you cant wave a magic wand. She believes in a dialogue with congress but she recognizes that congress is really broken right now, and if youre sitting around waiting for congress, you might wait for a long time. A Supreme Court justice really calling the congress out, is that unusual . Its not unusual from Justice Ginsburg. I think she believes in the interlocking working relationships between all three branches of government. And i think her experience with the Lilly Ledbetter act shows her, when congress is working, things can happen. So there has to be that give and take. And just ginsburg is a great
example of how one branch can apply pressure on another and make positive change happen in the United States. And erin another issue Justice Ginsburg weighed in on was abortion rights. She thinks overturning roe versus wade could happen but i think its not a likely scenario and we will never see a day when women of means are not able to get a safe abortion in this country. But the many abortion restrictions passing at the state level have a major impact on lower income women. Is this a warning from the nations highest bench . I think it is. And again, like her previous comments, i think its aimed at multiple people. Its aimed at her fellow justices to say, heres a precedent. Women have now for 40plus years, enjoyed the constitutionally protected right to end a pregnancy. And its also a message to the country, saying look at who these restrictions have an
impact on. Thats right. And shes somebody who looks at the realworld effects of judicial decisions. Shes able to say, we hand down these decisions whats the realworld impact. Some have said Justice Ginsburg should retire while president obama is in office so he could name her successor. But she said i will step down when i feel i can no longer do the job full steam. Is this trying to say the court is above daily politics . It is above daily politics. And Justice Ginsburg has earned her right to step down when shes ready. Erins comments highlight once again, when you have Justice Ginsburg saying, women of means will still be able to have access to certain reproductive rights but poor women and women of color will not. Justice ginsburg and talking about people of color in an
important moment where things are being rolled back and thats the leadership that we need on the bench, and she has every right to stay there until shes good and ready to retire. Ererin, when you were talking to you how does she react to that kind of question . Do you get the sense that shes not going anywhere . Reverend, i happened to know she can do 20 pushups. I dont think shes going anywhere anytime soon. She can do 20 . She can do 20. And she stayed up all night the night before the state of the union. She told me thats why she fell asleep. She had a glass of wine, its true. But shes somebody who loves her job. Said its the best job shes ever had doesnt intend on leaving. And last year, she used the words im very optimistic about 2016. So she may be waiting for Hillary Clinton to appoint her successor. You talked about the interview. I want to does she realize shes become a hero . I mean to a lot of younger liberals. I want to play part of your
interview where she talks about seeing Ruth Bader Ginsburg tattoos. I wonder have you i saw that, and i thought it was a joke. I thought it was something you pasted onto your arm. But im a little distressed that people are really doing that. Distressed why . Because why would you make something that cant be removed on yourself . I mean what does she think of all the attention shes been getting now . I think she had a jewish grandmother moment just now, why do you want to have this forever . But in seriousness, shes very happy to have the kind of reach that a Supreme Court justice doesnt usually have. She really wants young women to take up with enthusiasm, the same causes shes been working for her whole life. And i got to play this part of the tape where she said she had a sip of wine before the state of the union, and thats why she fell asleep. Watch this. I got to ask you, by the way
everybodys talking about the state of the union. Yes. Theyre saying, you said yesterday that you were not 100 sober. Oh what i meant was that i had a glass of wine with dinner. And that on top of having stayed up all night so youre a bit of a lightweight, as we call it . I said, i thought to myself, dont stay up all night. But then my pen was hot, and so i couldnt stop what i was doing. And then i said, just drink sparkling water, no wine. But the dinner was so good, and it needed to be complemented. And erin, this only makes her even more popular and more of notorious rbg. Notorious rbg is the title of the book im working on for the fall and available for preorder. But i think people like shes a real person, she talks about her family, about having a glass of wine at dinner. Shes opening up this very secretive court that we dont see much of. Shes opening up and showing im a real person, i look at the impact on the world. Im more than just somebody in a black robe. Out of time, but james, what is her impact . Her impact is tremendous. Shell go down in history as one of the great justices of the Supreme Court. Thats why shes been more engaged in giving more interviews and young people are rallying around her because of that openness. Erin great interview. And james, thank you for your time. Erin forgot to mention, you can preorder the book notorious rbg. Watch more of the interview on Rachel Maddow tonight on msnbc. Straight ahead jeb bushs w. Problem. He doesnt want to talk about the past. But can he hide . Plus president obamas famous rallying cry, yes we can almost never made it. And more on this. Theres only one prescription.

And i dont have to talk to any humans, unless i want to. And i dont. And national lets me choose any car in the aisle. Control. Its so, whats the word . Sexy. Go national. Go like a pro.

Time for conversation nation. Joining me tonight access hollywoods sean robinson, political analyst jason johnson, and msnbc contributor victoria defrancesco soto. Thank you all for being here. Glad to be here. Start tonight with jeb bush and the past. According to the washington post, the former governor doesnt want to talk about the wars in iraq and afghanistan his brother led america into. Quote, i wont talk about the past. If im in the process of considering the possibility of running, its not about relitigating anything in the past. Jason, can he get by hiding from the past . No. Not at all. Especially if he ends up going up against Hillary Clinton. Look everyone is going to look at his name and look at his past and look at his history. And you cant tell the audience dont look over here, dont look over there, only look at what im saying. So i think george bush is being very foolish with this strategy and the more he looks like hes trying to avoid talking about his past, the more people are going to start digging up everything in the swamps of florida. Shaun . Well, rev, im going to put an entertainment spin on this. Do you remember eddy murphys movie the distinguished gentleman . The congress in his district had the same name, so he stole all the Campaign Materials from that
congressman and ran on this slogan of the name you know, and he won the election because people were familiar with the name. When we talk about the clintons and the bushes were talking about the names you know. Is that something that people are going to be tired of now . Are they going to be looking for some fresh blood, if you will . So i think people will be thinking about that when this president ial Campaign Comes along. Interesting. Victoria . He is going to be hanging on to this for dear life, lets look forward not backward. But where its really going to get ugly, in the gop primary. Its the gopers who are going to slaughter jeb bush in tying him to his brother. This is where we need to look to. In wanting to say lets look to the present, lets refocus, these are legacy of the iraq
invasion. So hes cornered in an extremely tough spot. Victoria raises an interesting point. Because before he gets to the democrats and the general election and worrying about people like those of us that have a public platform hes got to deal with some brutal shots that will come through the republican primaries if he runs. Yeah, and i dont think hes going to make it through the republican primary. Ive already put it out there. Im predicting walker against clinton. I think his name, the vast majority of republican primary voters are looking for somebody who can win and a lot of them think that bush is going to lose against clinton. So i dont think he gets to the republican primary. Lets move on to the big revelation about the Obama Campaign of 2008s rallying cry. Yes, we can. [ cheers and applause ] yes, we can. Yes, we can. [ audience chants yes we can ] yes, we can. We will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people. Yes, we can. But yes we can almost never made it. It was used in Barack Obamas 2004 senate campaign. According to David Axelrod state senator obama didnt like it. He read through the script once, and after the first take, he said, gee, is that too corny . He turned to michelle and said, what do you think . She just slowly shook her head from side to side and said not corny. Shaun, what do you think . Corny or not . Well, i think al, it goes to show you, beside every great man
is a great woman. You know, i understand from David Axelrod from Michelle Obama just happened to walk into the first photo shoot for this particular ad campaign. Wasnt even planned. Right. Not even planned. And when barack obama asked her, does this sound too corny and she shook her head and said no, i think he had two things going for him. Barack obama first of all, a very smart iwife. We know how well shes done with the lets move campaign to fight obesity. And barack obama was going up against john mccains Country First slogan. That was a patriotic call to service and during that time americans were tired of the conflicts in iraq and afghanistan. So obviously, yes we can was the way to go. Victoria . Let me echo what shaun said. Gentlemen, listen to your wives. But more broadly, when we are talking about, yes we can in the spanish translation its a logo that fired up the Latino Community starting back into the 60s, got latinos incorporated into the latino political fray. So its a beautiful thing to see it in english and spanish motivating millions of people. Jason . All it does is remind me, i have always thought, when it comes to the president and Michelle Obama, shes the aunt viv and hes uncle phil. Hes always been the one in touch with how real people operate. We know the president doesnt come up with the dirt off his shoulder. That came from Michelle Obama. Im not surprised shes the person he goes to to find out if something is going to sell. Stay with us. When we come back, saturday night live turns 40 with an epic party. And my red carpet meeting
with sarah palin. It was great to see her. Musicians, athletes politicians, all came to pay tribute to and welcome back to celebrity jeopardy. Thats when you break. I think that was one of the best. Even better than beyonce. Yeah. And that brings us to number five. Kanye, sit down. Shaun what was your favorite part . Celebrity jeopardy had me just on the floor rolling. Will ferrell as alex trebek and Norm Mcdonald as burt reynolds. And darryl hammond. It was just hysterical. To me, that is classic snl. And when youre in the skit, and you just want to watch it over and over and over again. Classic snl. Lets watch what youre talking about. And the answer is this gshaped letter comes between s and h. Matthew mcconaughey, what are you doing here . What are any of us doing here . Jason what was your favorite part last night . I too, first off, anything that andy samberg ever does with lonely island is great. But also i love chris rocks monologue. He basically got up there and said, all of you guys owe your lives to a black man who saved the show in 1983. His introduction of eddy murphy was fantastic. Better than eddy murphys appearance. Let me play a little of that. Heres another one and thats what you referred to first jason that you love anything about what he does. Victoria, what was your favorite part . My vote goes to the jeopardy skit too. Kate mckinnon as Justin Bieber is genius. When she came out a couple weeks ago in the calvin klein ad she had me in stitches. When she was calling alex trebek girl, and he said wait, i have a mustache, im not a girl, i couldnt get enough of it last night. Im going to go to break and come back and talk about it. Thank you for joining the conversation. When we come back, my red carpet meeting with sarah palin. You, my friend are a master of diversification. Who would have thought three cheese lasagna would go with chocolate cake and ceviche . The same guy who thought that small caps and bond funds would go with a merging markets. Its a masterpiece.

i have the worst cold with this runny nose. I better take something. Dayquill cold and flu doesnt treat your runny nose. Seriously . Alkaseltzer plus cold and cough fights your worst cold symptoms plus your runny nose. Oh, what a relief it is. The next question, yes, tina . No its sarah. Sharea a sarah palin. Yes, sorry. Governor palin, welcome. Im just curious, how much do you think Lorne Michaels would pay me if i were to run in 2016 . Run for president , sarah, i dont think theres a number too big. Okay, just hypothetically, then, what if i were to choose donald trump as my running mate . Sarah, youre teasing us thats not nice. That was one of the big moments for the snl special. But there was lots of action before the show as well on the red carpet. Last night 30 rock was rocking with the biggest names in tv and entertainment. I saw everyone from eddy murphy and whoopi goldberg, to Leonardo Dicaprio and rihanna, but a got a huge response to social media to these pictures of me with sarah palin and donald trump two people i disagree with on politics and just about

We are the direct opposites of american politics but were here tonight. But you know what, we both love america so much, right . Thats right. Its americana all the way and respect for the entertainment value they provide our society. And they spoof both of us. Were equally spoofed. How does it feel when you turn on the tv and you hear snl is going to do a sarah palin, or an al sharpton . I always do a double take because tina fey is so good. Im like, is that me . Tina was very good when she came on with lorne she was very good natured and i defend the fact that she actually sees russia from her house. Oh, god see im going to kick you in the shins. This is americana, though. This is show is americana and those of us who have grown up with it, right . We can disagree without being disagreeable. Without a doubt. At the end of the day, there are some funny things going on in this world today. I want you to run again. It will help us out. You think . You running again sarah . Not if its according to his reasoning, no. [ laughter ] be tough, be firm but dont let them see you sweat. Wise man once told me, you cant be big and small at the same time. Lot of people say a lot of ugly things. Ive had to learn, dont be ugly because it only brings you to a level that you really dont want
