Todd:
OMG is going to defer deportations
and
increase border security
Boehner:
Obama is an emperor!
Cruz:
he's a monarch!
McConnell:
he's a butterfly
Obama:
sting like a bee!
Immigrant:
I want to go to college
and become a nurse
Immigrant:
my mother can stop
being
terrified of being deported
Arpaio:
I love immigrants which is why
I want
to put 5 million people in jail
Yang:
what if undocumented people
were
deported from Arizona?
Immigrant:
there would be no one left
Farmer:
we need immigrants
or
farming would stop
Yang:
we asked Republicans
for
comment and they declined
Todd:
welcome Jeff Flake
Flake:
hi Todd
Todd:
what about the President's order?
Flake:
we need more border enforcement
Todd:
do you support Sherriff Arpaio's
lawsuit
against the President
Flake:
he's an idiot
Todd:
Bob was this Constitutional?
Menendez:
yes Reagan and Bush
did
the same thing
Todd:
perhaps
Menendez:
look he's going to deport
more
felons and let good people
stay in America
Todd:
Jeff are against the policy?
Flake:
no I support the policy
Todd:
you do?
Flake:
yes – it's just the way he
did
it I disagree with
Todd:
aren't immigration activists
upset
because now Obama has made
it
impossible for all laws to be passed
Menendez:
that's only true if John Boehner
is
a big baby and the Republicans
act
like spoiled children
Todd:
the Republicans issued a
report
saying there was no
wrongdoing
in Benghazi
Flake:
Susan Rice lied on Meet The Press!
Todd:
Obama is increasing troops
in Afghanistan
Menendez:
we have to make sure
we
don't lose Afghanistan like we lost Iraq
Todd:
good point
Todd:
Republicans used to support
Presidential
action on immigration
and
now 80% oppose it
Scarborough:
look Obama may have
overstepped
his bounds the GOP
is in a tough spot
Todd:
okay
Scarborough:
the answer is to sue
the
President and use his own
words against him
Obama
on tape: I'm not an emperor!
Todd:
lots of legal scholars
say Obama is wrong
Diaz-Balart:
Obama has deported
two million people!
Scarborough:
Obama violated the
separation of powers
separation of powers
Todd:
shouldn't he have given Congress
five more months?
Walter:
George H.W. Bush did the
exact
same thing and the media
didn't have a fit
Scarborough:
yes but that was cleaning up
Richardson:
Obama has helped
five million immigrants
and got
10 million people health care
Scarborough:
oh god
Todd:
he's right Joe – long-term you're screwed
[

Allen:
you're only 20 and the
Governor
put you on a commission
Aldridge:
we need change
such
as a livable wage
Allen:
the Governor has already
declared
a state of emergency
which
seems like overkill
Holder:
the Justice department
encourages
police to avoid
needless
confrontation
Aldridge:
you can only be pushed so far
Allen:
the grand jury is very
secretive
and the community doesn't
trust
that the process if fair
Todd:
what are you worried about?
Gray:
there's a lot of anxiety
because
they don't trust
Todd:
do people want a trial
Gray:
maybe
Todd:
what did you think of a
preemptive
state of emergency
Giuliani:
I would have put the police
on
heightened alert but kept it quiet
Todd:
keep it on the down low
Giuliani:
no one explains the
grand
jury process – do people
know
grand jury secrecy is
there
to protect innocent people
which
I care so much about
Todd:
good point
Giuliani:
people who are pressuring
this
grand jury should be ashamed
Todd:
yes they should
Giuliani:
also if they don't indict
it
will definitely create a massive riot
Todd:
is it wise for the police to
prepare for a war?
Dyson:
what should be indicted
is the system itself!
is the system itself!
Todd:
whoa
Dyson:
the police should act
not
a like an occupying army
Todd:
Rudy there are a lot of towns
where
the citizens are black and
the
police are all white
Giuliani:
going back to Koch and
Dinkins
we tried to diversify the NYPD
Todd:
thankfully there are no problems
with
African-Americans and the police
in
New York City now
Giuliani:
I find it very disappointing that
you
are not mentioning that 93% of blacks
in
American are killed by other blacks
Todd:
90% of blacks are killed?
Giuliani:
the media never mentions
black murderers!
Dyson:
the different you idiot is that black
criminals
go to jail and they are not
employed
by the government to kill people
Giuliani:
you don't care about black murders!
Dyson:
black people who kill black
people
go to jail you fool
Todd:
it's a trust issue
Giuliani:
that's why there are cops
are
in black neighborhoods
Dyson:
that's a false equivalency
Giuliani:
what about the little black
child
killed by another black child
Dyson:
you're saying there's no
difference
between police and murderers
Giuliani:
all the crimes in New York City
are
in the black neighborhoods!
Dyson: oh no he didn't
Giuliani:
why don't you black people stop committing crimes!
Dyson:
what??
Giuliani:
you black people are all
killing
each other so shut up about the police
[

Todd:
what's with the state of emergency?
Richardson:
calling in the National Guard
before
an indictment announcement
was a bit much
Todd:
interesting
Richardson:
we should diversify
the police force
Todd:
it's almost as the people
and
media will be disappointed
if
there is no violence
Scarborough:
it's obvious there is a
double
standard for young black men
but
let's also be fair to this
poor
police officer
Diaz-Balart:
don't complain –
register
and vote!
Todd:
if the price of gas is dropping –
so
why is Washington so obsessed
with
a pipeline that will pump
Canadian
oil to China?
Boxer:
we're all gonna die!
Landrieu:
we'll all be saved!
Todd:
it will create 35 jobs but the
oil
is being sent by truck anyway
Todd:
oil is cheap now anyway and
the
US may soon be the biggest
oil
producer in the world!
Todd:
are we energy independent?
Yergin:
almost
Todd:
that's stunning
Yergin:
OPEC is in a total panic
Todd:
this helps us pressure Iran and Russia
Hofmeister:
the price of oil dropping
hurts
their economies
Todd:
fascinating
Hofmeister:
but we need
more
and more oil!
Todd:
there's very little regulation
Yergin:
well there was a rapid
boom
in North Dakota
Todd:
is there enough regulation?
Hofmeister:
true there has been
a
rush to drill without regulation
but
we need the oil and the oil
companies
want regulation
Yergin:
domestic oil production
makes
the U.S. strong
Todd:
you want carbon regulation?
Hofmeister:
Republicans have trashed
cap
and trade but it's actually a good idea
Todd:
raising the question why Obama
has
failed to make Republicans support it
[

Todd:
dozens of women have said
Bill
Cosby raped them over 30 years
Dyson:
I hated Bill Cosby before it was cool
Todd:
this is so sad because he
united
white and black America with his
gentle
humor about how horrible being
married
with kids is
Dyson:
so true
Todd:
who knew the man selling us
pudding pops was
a psychopath out
of Hannibal Lecter novel
Walter:
unbelievable
Todd:
Amy you grew up in the 80s
so you know what I mean
so you know what I mean
Walter:
yes The Cosby Show was
a
touchstone for people our age
Todd:
I was talking about Fat Albert
Walter:
this is about how institutions
fail us all especially women
fail us all especially women
Todd:
say it ain't so Joe!
Scarborough:
I grew up with Bill Cosby comedy records
Dyson:
the internet has exposed rape culture
Richardson:
the system doesn't
deal
with sex assault well
Todd:
just look at the University of Virginia
which
is like a institution for raping
girls which
happens to do some
education on the side
Walter:
it's incredible
Todd:
and that's another
episode
of Meet The Press
