Common interest in fighting is wi lammists. Las it come to in that the americans and russians see a common enemy as we did in world war i sni could obamas failure to win american support be the way to get america and Russia Fighting alongside each other instead of against each other . Could this be the Inflection Point in history we need . Thats coming up in the show. First the political fight here at home. President obamas base support remains strong. The latest nbc wall street journal poll shows 7 of democrats approve of the job hes doing right now supposed to 16 who is disapprove. Thats stronger than the 50 disapproval he gets in the full poll. Congressman gregory peaks, a democrat from new yorken an Clarence Pate sitting with me is a columnist for the chicago tribune. I want to start with the congressman up in new york. I know part of this i think may have to do with this hess antancy about going to war in syria. I just think the president is so much in sync with most democrats whi

other side. there s something about this conservatives that we fight every day that says we want to be by ourselves. if we can t have our game, we re going to take the ball and go elsewhere and go back to a different america than the one today. secession is one irrational way of expressing that. katelin, does the fact we have an african-american president, a liberal or progressive president have something to do with this angst to get apart from him? i mean, absolutely. i think the fact that we have a liberal president is a lot has a lot to do with this. these movements are largely conservative anel like david said, it s this idea that i m not going to debate or i m not going to just sit back and you know, let the president that i didn t elect you know, be in charge. it s kind i have wanting to distance yourself from that and say i m going to start something new. let me read both of you something. put it up on the prommer from

republican counties have put secession movements on the ballot. ca, republican county passed a vote to support leaving the state as part of a broader plan to join up with counties in oregon to form the 51st state of jefferson. even have a name. don t forget texas where the state s energy commissioner boasted the state has made great progress in becoming an independent nation. well taken together, they re being described as the largest wave of secession movements since the civil war. katelin, you start. what is this about besides they sort of like the dressed up version, the gussied up version of putting a rebel bumper sticker on your car or flying the flag out your window from your dorm room. is this just part of that? i mean, to be honest with you, chris, it s not really much more than that. these movements, you know, while they do seem extreme they don t really seem that realistic given what it takes to actually secede. i think that they are, you know, in most cases kind of just a

conservatives get their way, it won t be the last. as you heard from the clip, rec perry famously made headlines with his oops back in 2009 when he told a group of bloggers that texas could secede anytime it wanted to. he has since distanced himself from those comments a bit. we ve seen a recent wave of movements takes place across the country, all republican counties who are mad as hell the democrats were elect and now control their state legislatures. instead of dealing with the realities of being the minority party, they re eyeing ways to make themselves the majority anyway they can. david corn, and katelin dixon, thanks for joining us. reporter with the daily beast author of a great article about secession fever. let s look at it as it s happening. maryland, a conservative grass-roots movement is gaining traction in the western part of the state to secede from the rest. it s going to form its own state, they say. colorado at least four
