think about the big brouhaha by thelma and louise, two women who took up a few guns and had, if you will, a revelry and ultimately potential suicide, but there was more violence in the first five minutes of lethal weapon i than the entire movie but because women who are agents of gun play and when race and gender and class and generation get involved, it begins to change our perception of who legitimately has a gun. >> does this not cut both ways for liberals? like yourself and me. in that if we see no knock raids, the architecture of stop and friction, all sorts of ways that law enforcement is -- the force is brought to bear on people, particularly people of color, and then the bureau of land management going in what believe was heavy handed, we see the horrible thing in waco or ruby ridge, isn't it cut both ways? we won't root on a horrible vie help clash and that got lost. i praise whoever had the wisdom to have cooler heads prevail and not risk a loss of life or bloodshed over a few cows. >> of course, we should celebrate that. but what we should do is apply that to other situations.

." >> it sounds like a sequel to "thelma & louise" that you wouldn't want to see. straight to netflix. i was just thinking, 79 years ago today, the man who lived in that house, winston churchill, who had finally become prime minister on the 10th of may, 140, gave one of the great speeches of all time, really, when he -- it was the text of defiance, when he said, we should find the beaches and the landing growns and fight with growing strength and confidence in the air, we shall never surrender. it goes on that way. the end of that speech is fascinating. because he said, even if this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then we would carry on the struggle from overseas until in god's good time the new world and all its power and might steps forth for the rescue and liberation of the old. the new world in all its power and might. britain had to look west for their salvation. they stood strong. churchill and great britain made victory over nazi germany possible. but we completed the task. they stood in the breach while we were fighting a force la

republican leadership, and most republicans, are not going to follow ted cruz over the cliff a la "thelma and louise" twice, and i think on issues we can come together. >> new york state, andrew cuomo talking about instituting a policy making medical marijuana legal, and where are you on this issue in general? do you see it as inevitable that recreational use is going to be legal in all 50 states in your lifetime? >> you know, it's a tough issue. we talk about the comparison to alcohol, and obviously, alcohol is legal, and i'm hardly a prohibitionist, but it does a lot of damage. so the view i have, and i'm a little cautious on this, let's see how the state experiments work. we now have the states as laboratories, different states, different levels -- colorado and washington sort of opened the door. the governor's proposal in new york, much more cautious. >> right. >> i'd be a little cautious here at the federal level and see the laboratories of the states, see their outcomes before we make a decision. >> you believe the federal government should let the states do this, because, you know,

on friday, "the times'" lead editorial cheered on senator patty murray, known here as senator thelma, for her idea of letting all of the bush tax cuts expire on schedule, on new year's eve, and letting automatic spending cuts go into effect on new year's day, thereby forcing republicans into a reasonable negotiation over tax and spending policy. here's that "times" editorial right here. we put a little "off the cliff" campaign button on it, right there. "the times" editorial recognized that this would make grover norquist and his anti-tax pledge irrelevant to the process. by letting all of the tax cuts expire on schedule, "the times" said republicans can then join democrats in restoring the cutc, only for income up to $250,000. no vote need be taken on raising taxes for the rich. and thus, republicans won't have to remove their no-tax increase straight jacket, so says "the new york times." then on sunday, bill keller, the former editor of the "new york times," stepped up with an op-ed entitled, "head for the cliff," pointing out that the new year's eve fiscal cliff gives president oba

if there was ever a time for a mad dash in washington, it is now, and we don't mean thelma and louise style. the next few days are going to be critical on capitol hill but it remains to be seen whether congress is capable of rising to this occasion. here's where we are for those trying to keep track at home without getting a migraine. we are heading into week three of the government shutdown and this thursday is the next big crisis, the day we hit our heads on the debt ceiling and potentially send this country careening into default for the first time in our history. negotiations are now focused on senate leadership on both sides of the aisle. two men not known for their warm and fuzzy friendship, senators harry reid and mitch mcconnell are the last best hope. can they succeed so far where everybody else hasn't. >> all of us are talking about spending, which is where we should have been in the first place. and i do sense tremendous amounts of unity within senate republicans. >> so wall street does not seem to be sharing that optimism. stocks opened sharply lower this morning after a w

there is a chance to enlarge the circle of inclusion in this country, to create a nation thelma braces its diversity and gives every american an opportunity. that's not a democratic message or republican message. i think of that as a very american message. but we have leaders of one of our parties who have turned away from that message. and that's the critical challenge. in the past when that's happened it has gotten ugly in this country. it got ugly on january 6th. and i hope that it's a wake-up call. i hope people who didn't intend for it to go that far, who perhaps were cynically exploiting the emotions of their constituents, maybe they were afraid of their constituents, maybe on january 6th they saw where this was leading. and i hope that some of them at least will pull back. as you pointed out, we've never had this many members of a president's own party vote to impeach him. many members of the senate including some who'd previously expected to object to the count of electoral votes, many republicans in the senate ultimately affirmed it. there are reasons for hope just as there ar

gloria ray, terrence roberts, melba patillo, jefferson thomas, carlato walls, thelma mothership, elizabeth eckford and earnest green walked into high school and walked into hisry on this very day in 1957. here they are in happier times 40 years after that. by then they had seen the end of segregation, the end of lynching, but not the end of special danger for black people in this country. not the end of the risk of being killed simply for being black. a risk that the little rock nine took simply by walk into their high school. eight of the little rock nine are still with us. and though they can each tell us about the great progress we've made that includes having ele elected and re-elected the first african-american president, they also know that their children and grandchildren can be walking unarmed on a street in ferguson, missouri, and end up shot dead by a police officer, hit by six bullets, two of them in the head. they know that if one of their grandsons picks up a b.b. gun or a toy gun in a walmart, he can be shot dead on the spot. as happened to john crawford. that is the video of
