All In With Chris Hayes, Monday, July 20th, 2015
Read the transcript from the Monday show
Show: ALL IN with CHRIS HAYES
Date: July 20, 2015
Guest: Matt Duss, Ashley Yates, Dean Baker, Kish Rajan
CHRIS HAYES, MSNBC HOST (voice-over): Tonight on ALL IN --
DONALD TRUMP (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: He`s not a war hero.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He is a war hero.
TRUMP: He is a war hero --
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Five and a half years --
TRUMP: He`s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that
weren`t captured.
HAYES: Republicans disavow their front-runner.
REP. PETER KING (R), NEW YORK: To me that`s almost sacrilegious.
There are certain things you don`t do.
HAYES: Tonight, why the RNC rebuke of Donald Trump could set a
dangerous precedent.
Plus, the unbelievable things the so-called grown-up candidates are
saying as we gawk at The Donald.
GOV. SCOTT WALKER (R-WI), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: The president
shouldn`t wait to act.
HAYES: Then, why Black Lives Matter activists are protesting
Democratic candidates.
ACTIVIST: Say that black lives matter! Black lives matter!
HAYES: And the Uber wars rage across America.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: At the end of the day, this is about providing
folks a choice.
HAYES: Why this election could be a referendum on the gig economy.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You can`t stop Uber. You can`t stop them.
ALL IN starts right now.
HAYES: Good evening from New York. I`m Chris Hayes.
And it is official. Donald J. Trump is now the front runner in the
Republican presidential race, beating the runner-up by double digits in a
new "Washington Post"/ABC News poll of likely Republican voters, far
outside of the margin of error.
This new result caps off several weeks of total news cycle domination
by Trump and his bombastic rhetoric. First, those now infamous comments
about Mexico sending drug dealers and rapists to the U.S. and now, his
attack on John McCain`s service in the Vietnam War.
But what about the other two candidates rounding out the top three?
The only ones besides Trump to score double digit support. While Trump has
been sucking up all the oxygen in the room, Jeb Bush and Scott Walker have
been able to get away with extreme statements of their own.
Bush was supposed to be the friendly antidote to Trump`s anti-
immigrant demagoguery, giving Republicans their best shot at making much
need inroads with Hispanics. But while he had previously endorsed a path
to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, last week, something that got
very little notice, Bush unequivocally rejected that idea.
REPORTER: Would they be allowed to become citizens?
JEB BUSH (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I think a path to legal status
given the environment we`re in now, given the need to build consensus on
how we craft an immigration policy that allows us to grow is the right one.
REPORTER: Does that include citizenship or not?
BUSH: No, legal statues -- legalized status.
HAYES: For Scott Walker, who officially declared a week ago, his
campaign rollout might have been disastrous if it weren`t for Donald Trump.
A day before he announced, Walker signed a state budget weakening tenure
for professors in the vaunted University of Wisconsin System and he just
signed a 20-week abortion ban with zero exceptions for cases of rape or
severe fetal abnormalities.
Walker recently said the Boy Scouts should uphold a ban on gay troop
leaders because it, quote, "protected children", a position he since tried
to qualify and he later told CNN he doesn`t know if being gay is a choice.
But perhaps most damning from a policy perspective was what Walker
said he would do as president to block the nuclear deal with Iran.
Responding to an earlier note of caution from Jeb Bush about the process of
undoing an international agreement, Walker vowed to do whatever he deemed
necessary to terminate the deal on day one even if it meant a military
WALKER: I think that`s a bad enough deal that it needs to be
terminated right off the bat and I will work with Congress not only to
reinstate the already previously authorized sanctions, but to work with
them in putting in place even more crippling sanctions and to convince our
allies to do the same.
I believe that a president shouldn`t wait to act until they put a
cabinet together or extended period of time. I believe they should be
prepared to act on the very first day they take office.
It`s very possible. God forbid if this would happen, possible the
president of the United States could be called, the next president could be
called, to take aggressive actions, including military actions on the first
day in office, and I don`t want a president who`s not prepared to act on
day one. So, as far as me, as far as my position, I`m going to be prepared
to be president on day one.
HAYES: Joining me now, Sam Seder, MSNBC contributor and host of
"Minority Report" podcast.
I thought this was sort of amazing because, you know, obviously,
there`s a spirited debate, policy and political debate about the Iran deal.
Here he`s saying it`s possible the next president is going to have to start
military activity on day one. That`s a pretty extreme thing to say.
I mean, it`s a little bit hedged. It`s an extreme thing to say.
SAM SEDER, MSNBC CONTRIBUTOR: Yes, it`s very possible. It`s not
I mean, I guess in that respect it`s somewhere within the bounds of
reason. But, you know, I mean, that`s the thing. Trump on some level is
providing oxygen and space for these guys to move even further right. This
is going to be a real problem for him down the road. The longer Trump is
in the race, it will become more and more of a problem, because it`s going
to be harder to forget they may have said this.
But, yes, it`s absurd. I mean, these things that they`re talking
about are absurd. Walker just even the idea of more crippling sanctions.
We`re all in to use a phrase in terms of sanctions. There`s no more
sanctions to do at this point in terms of Iran.
HAYES: And Walker response comes in the context of Jeb Bush -- when
Walker said, I would ready -- I would rip it up on day one. Jeb Bush had
this response. I would probably check with -- I would probably appoint
someone to run state and Department of Defense and check with our allies.
Maybe we figure it out.
And that was what Walker is attacking on. Day one, be ready to bomb
if that`s what it takes.
SEDER: And, frankly, I mean, how different is that from what Donald
Trump would say? I mean, maybe the way they deliver the sentiment would be
the same, but fundamentally, Trump would say the same thing. I`m going to
wipe away the Iran deal. I`ll just make it a bigger and better thing. I
can do it better than all of them.
HAYES: I`ll stall (ph) the Iran deal. You`re fired.
SEDER: Exactly, exactly. I mean, that`s the thing that I think to a
large extent, you know, these Republicans because they are somehow more
respectable in the eyes of sort of the media establishment in some measure,
maybe because they`ve been around longer. But I mean, let`s contemplate
what comes out of the so-called adults` mouths.
Lindsey Graham, "Al" anything in the Middle East is a problem.
HAYES: Right.
SEDER: I mean, really? I mean, is that --
HAYES: It`s an actual quote.
SEDER: Yes, exactly. I mean, is this something you want from -- is
that presidential? When John McCain saying bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. I mean,
just imagine for a moment if a foreign leader who is maybe going to become
the prime minister or the president of another country said, bomb, bomb,
bomb America -- I mean, just contemplate how absurd this stuff would sound.
HAYES: Or run the Scott Walker quote back through that exact
translation about, you know, the Iranian person saying, you know, the next
person on day one might have to start aggressive military action against
the U.S., and then there`s the Bush thing to me that`s in some ways even
more important and less flashy than there`s what people say and there`s
what policies they commit themselves to. And that got essentially no
attention, that little exchange.
But that is possibly the biggest substantive corner to be painted into
from a policy perspective of no path to citizenship. Hillary Clinton is
pounding them on it, saying 11 million to 12 million people. They are
cutting off the path to citizenship. You`ll never be American citizens.
And here, while Donald Trump is saying they send rapist and drug
dealers, here is the moderate and possible front-runner until Trump knocked
him off saying, no, no way. That`s a big deal.
SEDER: You know, a poll that came out a couple days ago that showed
Trump in the lead as well, not by the huge margin as this "The Washington
Post"/CNN one. That poll showed that there`s been big changes in terms of
people`s perspective on immigration, even in the Republican Party.
So, not only is he out -- when Jeb Bush talks like that, not only is
he not moderate relative to the entire country but even in the context of
the Republican Party, he`s going against the trend. I mean, the majority
of Republicans are still sort of like edging towards path to citizenship on
some level, but --
HAYES: You say Republican people who are polled?
SEDER: Yes. But the base of the Republican Party is firmly headed in
the other direction.
HAYES: And you`re also seeing aside from this rhetorical
overshadowing that`s happening, there`s a phenomenon called in anchoring in
negotiations. First number anchors the negotiations. And essentially,
it`s like you`re allowing Donald Trump to anchor your debate. Like he`s
giving -- it`s like who names the first price matters a lot in how a
negotiation goes. And he`s essentially, you`re allowing him to anchor and
set, we`re going to talk about this in these terms and then people can
respond to it.
SEDER: Yes. I mean, one of the things that`s been interesting about
Donald Trump from the beginning is that there`s been a complete
misunderstanding as to why he was going to be so popular with the
Republican base. When you see Jeb Bush following Donald Trump, I mean,
he`s not counter programming to Donald Trump, he`s moving closer to Donald
Trump`s position there, isn`t he?
And so, it`s a fundamental misunderstanding of where the Republican
Party is I think when people dismiss Donald Trump as buffoon. Yes, he`s a
buffoon, but really not that different than other buffoons in the
Republican --
HAYES: Well, you play his responses in the Iran deal, it essentially
sounds indistinguishable from everyone else on the Republican side.
Sam Seder, always a pleasure. Thank you.
SEDER: Thank you.
HAYES: All right. I`m joined by Matt Duss, president of the
Foundation of Middle East Peace.
Matt, I suspect this Iran deal is going to be the signature battle,
the signature fight and argument on foreign policy because it`s the most
concrete. It`s the clearest distinction a Republican nominee is going to
say I would walk away from and Hillary Clinton is going to support it.
And what do you think about Walker`s comments about where they find
themselves rhetorically in describing this?
MATT DUSS, FOUNDATION FOR MIDDLE EAST PEACE: Right, I want to know
why walker is half-stepping this? Why only on inauguration day? Why not
election night order a strike on Iran?
Now, in all seriousness, the idea that one demonstrates leadership,
that the way an American president demonstrates leadership is to start a
war with someone on the first day he or she takes office is mind-boggling.
You`re absolutely right.
I mean, for Jeb Bush to be the responsible voice here, to say, well, I
want to end this deal, too, but I`m going to look at it a bit more, I`m
going to look at it seriously and see where we are in a year and a half and
then to be criticized as, you know, not really hardcore enough, that really
gives you a troubling idea of where this debate is on the Republican side.
HAYES: Let`s be clear about how detached from reality this is,
because one thing that often happens across the political spectrum of
politicians selling their base a bill of goods but it really happens in
Republican politicians in regard to conservative bases. This isn`t a deal
that`s very easy to undo which is what Jeb Bush is hinting at when you have
the buy in of the entirety of the U.N. Security Council and some of
America`s closest allies in England and France onboard and also Germany.
You can`t just blow this thing up on day one. It`s like telling
people you`re going to repeal Obamacare.
DUSS: Right. No, I mean, Walker gets at that, because he says here`s
what I`m going to do. And we`ll put sanctions back. I`m going to talk to
our allies a little, like he`s going to make a few calls to our allies in
Europe, and they`re just going to say, OK, you`re right. This deal that we
painstakingly negotiated over two years, you`re right, it`s just horrible.
So, forget it. Let`s scrap it and just put the sanctions back on.
It`s just unserious. It`s completely ridiculous.
HAYES: I also think there is -- and I started to watch a little bit
of the polling around the deal which has been generally supportive,
although I think it`s fair to say polling on this is pretty soft. It`s
pretty moveable because I think people -- it`s complicated. People don`t
have a firm idea about it.
But it seems to me there`s always a degree to which they are going to
beat each other up in bellicosity. That`s what we seeing between Walker
and Bush. And that is going to run into the same problem the immigration
rhetoric runs into, which is even if people aren`t crazy about the deal,
people are wary of war, I think. They`re very wary of war with Iran.
They`re going to very likely find themselves in an uncomfortable rhetorical
DUSS: No, I think that`s absolutely right. And there is -- I
understand what you`re saying about polling, but there is a way in which
polling on this has been very, very consistent, is that even though
Americans by in large continue to be suspicious of Iran, I think with some
good reason, given Iran`s behavior in the region, they have been
consistently supportive of dealing with this problem through diplomacy.
They have actually over the past several years been consistently
supportive, not overwhelmingly but majorities have continued to support the
idea of a deal very much like the one we just got.
And there was a "The Washington Post"/ABC poll today that showed that.
Just over 50 percent of Americans continue to be suspicious of Iran but
they support this deal as they understand it.
HAYES: All right. Matt Duss --
DUSS: And it`s for reasons that you said. It`s because they don`t
want another war.
HAYES: And that is going to be the very legitimacy of diplomacy is
going to be sort of on the chopping block in that first debate where
they`ll all going to try to outdo each other on this issue.
Matt Duss, always a pleasure. Thanks a lot.
DUSS: Thanks.
HAYES: All right. Still ahead, the Democratic presidential
candidates caught flat footed by Black Lives Matter protesters.
Plus, New York`s mayor locked in a nasty battle with Uber.
But, First, Donald Trump hit the tipping point by attacking John
SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM (R-SC), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: To anybody that
suggests that John and his fellow POWs are somehow lacking in the title of
being called American hero, you shouldn`t be our commander-in-chief because
you don`t know our military.
INTERVIEWER: Do you owe John McCain an apology?
TRUMP: Not at all.
When I left the room, it was a total standing ovation. It was
wonderful to see. Nobody was insulted.
HAYES: Hillary Clinton joined the condemnation against Donald Trump
this afternoon, during her first ever Facebook Q&A as a candidate, where
she affirmed her commitment to immigration reform and pointed out that
"Donald Trump is getting a lot of attention for some hateful rhetoric. But
Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio agree with him on denying a pathway to citizenship
and consigning hardworking immigrants to second class status. I will fight
for comprehensive immigration reform that includes that pathway to
Hillary Clinton also responded to questions about financial reforms,
student death, the capital gains tax, and her pantsuit preferences, saying,
quote, "I never met a pantsuit I don`t love. Go our website and you can
get one of your own."
And speaking of Q&A, I`ll be on Facebook tomorrow answering your
questions. Just head over to facebook.com/allinwithchris at noon Eastern.
Ask me anything.
I`ll be right back.
HAYES: This weekend, while you were maybe at the beach, the feud
between Donald Trump and John McCain went from pretty nasty to completely
crazy. Last week, in discussing Trump`s incendiary rhetoric on
undocumented immigrants, McCain told "The New Yorker" that Trump had,
quote, "fired up the crazies" during a recent campaign stop in Arizona.
Trump hit back on Twitter, first calling on McCain to apologize and
mocking McCain as a, quote, "dummy" who graduated last in his class, at
Annapolis. That incidentally isn`t actually true. According to Bloomberg,
McCain was fifth from the bottom of his class at the naval academy.
But anyway, Trump was asked about the feud in Iowa on Saturday, and
here`s what he said when his interviewer interjected that McCain who spent
5 1/2 years in a prison is a war hero.
TRUMP: He`s not a war hero.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He is a war hero.
TRUMP: He is a war hero --
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Five and a half years --
TRUMP: He`s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that
weren`t captured, OK? I hate to tell you.
He`s a war hero because he was captured. OK? You can have -- I
believe perhaps he`s a war hero. Right now, he said some bad things about
a lot of people.
HAYES: Trump has declined to apologize for saying that McCain is,
quote, "not a war hero" though he maintains the media has been distorting
his words. Asked about Trump`s comments this morning on MSNBC, McCain
called them, quote, "totally inappropriate" and called on Trump to
apologize to veterans, though he declined to ask for a personal apology.
Other Republicans were not so restrained.
WALKER: At a minimum, he needs to apologize. In terms of what he
needs to do next in terms of the race, I think that`s up to voters. But,
clearly, he needs to apologize and refrain from comments like that.
BUSH: This is a legitimate hero that has served this country in lots
of ways and Mr. Trump knows that. He should just apologize.
RICK PERRY (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Until Mr. Trump apologizes
directly to John McCain and also to the veterans of this country, I don`t
think he has the character or the temperament to hold the highest position
in this country.
SEN. MARCO RUBIO (R-FL), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: It`s not just
absurd, it`s offensive. It`s ridiculous. I do think it`s a disqualifier
as commander-in-chief.
KING: What he did over the weekend with John McCain, that has crossed
a line. To me, that`s almost sacrilegious. There are certainly things you
just don`t do. Apart from the politics of it, it`s just morally wrong.
HAYES: For many political observers, the response has brought
memories of another instance in which a decorated-veteran-turned-politician
has his military record attacked. Then-Democratic presidential nominee
John Kerry came under attack in 2004 from the so-called "Swift Boat
Veterans for Truth".
GEORGE ELLIOT: John Kerry has not been honest about what happened in
AL FRENCH: He`s lying about his record.
LOUIS LETSON: I know John Kerry is lying about his first Purple Heart
because I treated him for that injury.
VAN ODELL: John Kerry lied to get his Bronze Star. I know. I was
there. I saw what happened.
HAYES: Those attacks were orchestrated in part by author Jerome
Corsey, who had go on and write a book about President Obama called
"Where`s the Birth Certificate?"
They swift boat attacks would be proved to be riddled with
inconsistencies and be undercut by official navy records and the men`s own
statements, yet they did not invite the sort of swift and near
comprehensive condemnation that greeted Trump`s attack on McCain.
Bob Dole told CNN at the time that Kerry only suffered superficial
wounds in Vietnam and some delegates took to wearing band-aids affixed with
purple hearts to mock Kerry`s wounds.
And while Jeb Bush now wants Trump to apologize, he had kind words to
the swift boat veterans, early 2005, sending a letter, thanking them,
quote, "their willingness to stand up against John Kerry."
Joining me now, MSNBC political analyst Michael Steele, the former
chairman of the Republican National Committee.
Michael, here is what was most interesting to me about this brouhaha
this weekend -- was the RNC getting involved. You got to think the RNC is
the referee of this scrum.
MICHAEL STEELE, FORMER RNC CHAIRMAN: Yes.
HAYES: Right? Their whole point is they`ve got to be neutral.
They`re not actually backing a specific candidate. They`re just sort of
setting ground rules.
And yet, here`s the RNC saying, "Senator McCain is American hero
because he served his country and sacrificed more than most can imagine,
period. There is no place in our party or country for comments that
disparage those that served honorably."
Do you think it was the right call for them to take the unusual step
of sort of stepping into this?
STEELE: Absolutely. And I applaud Reince and his team and Sean
Spicer, in particular, who put out that well-crafted statement. And here`s
why -- it`s very simple. I said maybe even on this program a few weeks ago
when we had the first Trump kerfuffle, and that was the RNC needs to be the
off-ramp for that. They need to be the ramp that you take whether you`re
the media or others who are going to delving into this, so it doesn`t have
to go to candidates.
What did you just show us, Chris? You showed us about 30 seconds of
video of Republican candidates doing what? And talking about what?
HAYES: Right.
STEELE: They weren`t talking about their policies. They weren`t
talking about their campaigns or the candidacy. They were talking about
Donald Trump and that`s not the space they want to be in or need to be in.
And the RNC has the opportunity to be that off-ramp, to be that
deflection point, if you will, to help give these candidates the breathing
space that they`re going to need because come August 6th, it`s a whole
different world when you standing on that stage encapsulated by the aura
that is Trump and dealing with a lot of that, and you don`t want to go into
that having week after week of the next question about something he said or
HAYES: OK. But then what about this? Because this was the issue
that struck me is, that they`ve now set this precedent where they`ll
condemn this thing he said, right? They came out with a statement against
it. Doesn`t that set a bar where if they don`t, does it feel like they are
tacitly approving someone, when one politician attacks another politician
or if you`re a Mexican immigrant, who is sitting around saying, well, the
RNC didn`t come out a week ago when he was calling us rapists and
criminals, like I didn`t like that. How do you create --
STEELE: Well, you just described politics. So, right, exactly,
because the Mexican piece and I thought maybe something should have been
said there.
HAYES: You do?
STEELE: Oh, yes. If I were chairman, I probably would have said
something to push back on that because -- why? Because I`m holding a
document that I called an autopsy of the party that`s dealt specifically
with why we`re having problems with this very constituency.
HAYES: Yes.
STEELE: So, I cannot -- I cannot stand in good conscience and abide
by someone undermining our efforts as a national party to claim this new
space with these voters, number one.
Number two, with respect to the second part of this in terms of
dealing with this latest noise, it`s a little bit different because
everyone knows whether you like John McCain or you don`t, whether you`re a
Democrat or a Republican, conservative or progressive, respect what the man
did and respect what he went through for his country. And so, that, I
think, more than anything was the biggest affront that people saw.
I mean, you know, whatever you feel about John McCain, you cannot take
away from him the fact that he served his country in a way that most of us
quite honestly would have a hard time spending one day, let alone five
years in the environment that he did.
HAYES: Yes. We should note that he famously turned down a shot at
early release when his captors realized he was the son of this very high up
person in the Navy and system, a remarkable thing for any person to do.
Also, the Trump comment is so trump, right? I like guys that don`t
get captured. Like he`s a loser.
STEELE: You`re going to fire him, right?
HAYES: Yes, right. Here`s the thing though, I mean, I am genuinely
curious about what happens in the polling, right? So, we got the new poll
out today. It polled over three days. The third day of the poll was
Sunday, after the comments sort of came out and caught fire.
What do you predict going forward? Like, is this going to put a dent
in him? Many said this is it. He`s finally imploded. Or is he going to
carry on the way he carried on after what he said about Mexican immigrants?
STEELE: I think he`ll probably carry on.
Look, I keep going back to the argument and this is something I hope
the other presidential candidates are really looking into. Don`t fixate on
what Trump is saying or what Trump is doing necessarily. I mean, I get
that and it`s incendiary and causes conversations we`re having now.
But try to understand why he`s moving the needle, why he`s moving
those disinterested, disaffected, angry, frustrated conservatives in the
party in his direction. He`s speaking to that frustration.
And I said this before and I`ll say it again -- just don`t think that
he`s speaking only to conservative Republicans. There`s a whole swath of
people out there and I have run into a few of them when I was in Vegas last
week, aren`t Republicans, who agree with the sentiment. Finally someone is
saying what I feel.
HAYES: Right, right.
STEELE: He`s speaking to the anger and frustration that I have.
And the moment one of these other candidates are able to tap into that
in an honest way, less incendiary way is a door opening opportunity for
HAYES: Well, that`s something to consider. I want to just a little
bit of an allay (INAUDIBLE) -- Trump just now in an interview sort of
invited to say something to Senator McCain man to man says, "I`m going to
say this. I have respect for Senator McCain. I used to like him a lot. I
supported him. I raised a lot of money for his campaign against President
Obama, and certainly, if there was a misunderstanding I would take that
back. But hopefully I said it correctly and shortly thereafter I said it
So, I don`t know what you make of that. It`s all nonsense.
STEELE: There it is.
HAYES: Michael Steele, thank you very much.
STEELE: You got it.
HAYES: All right. Still ahead, disruption at Netroots Nations as
demonstrators take on Democratic presidential candidates.
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (D-VT), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Black lives, of
course, matter. But I spent 50 years of my life fighting for civil rights
and for dignity. If you don`t want me to be here, that`s OK.
HAYES: Last week we broadcast five shows live from California as
part of our special All In America report on the state`s historic drought.
We went everywhere from San Francisco to San Diego to the Central Valley.
And on Friday during the last day of our trip, a fire broke out on the
Cajon Pass, a major interstate about 55 miles northeast of Los Angeles
where we were broadcasting from.
We reported on that fire live as it jumped the freeway destroying 20
vehicles and trapping hundreds of people. According to Cal Fire, that
blaze is now 75 percent contained after burning over 4,000 acres.
That`s thanks in no small part to the historic rains that pounded
Southern California over the weekend. Former Hurricane Delores brought a
rare summer storm to part of the state and with it humid weather and
unusually forceful rains breaking all-time local rainfall records in Los
Angeles and over a dozen other cities.
In fact, after this weekend, San Diego will have had more rain so far
this month than during the last 101 July`s combined according to the
weather channel.
The heavy rains left thousands without power over the weekend and a
flash flood took out an overpass on a key freeway connecting California and
Arizona trapping a truck driver and closing the highway potentially for
The storm also brought the Los Angeles Angels their first rained out
game in 20 years, the San Diego Padres their first in almost a decade.
The extremely rare weather may also have brought state water officials
a bit of breathing room four years into California`s drought.
And you can find all of our reporting from last week on the drought
and California`s water wars at MSNBC.com/All-In-America or on Facebook by
searching the #allinwaterwars.
And if you are in a state in drought and desperately need of rain, let
me tell you we at All In America are now taking submissions for our next
road show destination.
HAYES: Democratic presidential candidate Barry Sanders exceeded
expectations on Saturday when he drew a crowd of more than 11,000 people in
Phoenix for Net Roots Nation, an annual meeting of liberal activists. It
was the largest crowd yet for a presidential candidate, about twice the
estimated size of the crowd that turned out for Donald Trump at the Phoenix
Convention Center a week ago.
Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Governor Martin O`Malley were two
of the only two Democratic presidential candidates to attend the
conference. But things got very tense during a town hall event Saturday
afternoon. Black Lives Matter activists took the stage and confronted both
men about racial injustice and spoke about the deaths of African-Americans
in police custody, most recently the death of
Sandra Bland, a young black woman who officials say hanged herself in a
jail cell last Monday in Texas.
UNIDENTIFEID MALE: We are going to acknowledge the name of black
women who have died in police custody and then, Governor O`Malley, we do
have questions for you about what your agenda is going to be to make sure
that black lives do matter and that as a leader of this nation, will you
advance a racial justice agenda that will dismantle not reform, not make
progress but that will dismantle structural racism in the United States.
HAYES: The activist stayed in the room as O`Malley attempted to
O`MALLEY: We did not repeal the death penalty in Maryland the first
time we tried or the second time but we repealed it the third time we
tried. Every life matters. Black lives matter. White lives matter. All
lives matter.
HAYES: O`Malley later tried to walk back those remarks, which we`ll
talk about in a moment. First, here`s how Senator Barry Sanders responded
to the Black Lives Matter activists.
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS, (I) VERMONT: Black lives of course matter. And
I spent 50 years of my life fighting for civil rights and for dignity. But
if you don`t want me to be here, that`s OK.
HAYES: Joining me now, Ashley Yates, an organizer with Ferguson
action and Black Lives Matter.
Ashley, tell me the thinking behind the actions that happened and
specifically this question, had you planned -- the group planned the
interruption ahead of time or was it specifically in response to what folks
were seeing on stage?
ASHLEY YATES, BLACK LIVES MATTER: Hi, Chris. Thanks for having me.
The action was definitely planned. We have been reeling for several
days off the death of Sandra Bland and as the usual is with black women
that are affected by
state violence, we didn`t see her name uplifted as much so we really wanted
to firstly take the opportunity to lift up the name of Sandra Bland, Kindra
Chapman, Kimberly Randall King and other black women that have been
affected and lost their lives at the hands of police and state violence.
And secondly we wanted to take the opportunity at the largest
progressive conference in the nation to challenge our officials that say
that they`re for us, right, that say that they are left leaning, that say
that they believe that black
lives matter to actually respond in real time about what they would do to
exemplify that as the leaders of this nation and both of them failed.
HAYES: You know, there`s -- I was thinking about some of the stuff
that immigration activists have done, DREAMers particularly have used
actions like this, disruptions at speeches, extremely effectively. And in
those cases, there was a very sort of specific concrete policy ask on the
table, right. And in those cases it was, you know, like this, disruptions
at speeches, extremely effectively. There was a specific concrete policy
ask on the table, right. In those cases it was, you know, signed --
executive action, deferred action or passing comprehensive immigration
Are there things that a candidate could be doing or saying such that
if you were at an event three months from now, you guys wouldn`t do this
kind of thing?
YATES: There are definitely steps that they could be taking. And
it`s the steps that they would take to address any other issue that`s been
brought to their attention, right.
So, when you asked a candidate about Iran, when you ask a candidate
about economic injustice, when you ask them about gay rights issues now,
right, when you ask them about environmental issues, they all have a
platform, they all have actions that surround that. But when you ask them
about the crisis at the state of black America, when you ask them about the
fact that 4 million people are in mass incarceration right now and also
deprived of their access to democracy, they have no response for that.
They have no action steps.
And, you know, we took the opportunity to show the rest of America
what we already know that they are not focused on black life, and that we
know that they should be, there can be no platform addressing jobs,
addressing housing, addressing land, addressing economic injustice, which
are all the things Americans hope to hear from a candidates without
addressing the black lives that are at the center of a lot of that
HAYES: So what you want -- you want to see a sort of specific,
concrete sort of rhetorical platform from the candidates that say this is
what -- where my platform stands on issues of racial justice. This is
where my platform stands on structural racism and attacking it as a sort of
explicit part of all those kind of issues that you talked about?
YATES: Absolutely. We`ve been saying since August 9 and before that
Mike Brown, Freddy Gray, all of the names that we have lifted up -- Rekia
Boyd -- are not one off instances, they are the victims of structural
racism. And we have to address that.
One of the symptoms of structural racism, one of the ways it`s
perpetuated is through our police department and it`s an immediate need
that we`re addressing. But we`re also bringing to the table that it`s not
just about police violence. Like I said, we need jobs, we need housing, we
need land. Gentrification is a huge problem in the black community.
So we are asking of our politicians that represent us to show us that
they are actually taking those issues into account.
HAYES: What do you say to supporters particularly Bernie Sanders who
say, look, this is someone who supports a higher minimum wage, he supports
a federal jobs program that would help particularly young black men and
women who find themselves in margin of the labor market.
He is not the person who has sort of crusaded on crime issues and been
a huge part of building a kind of mass incarceration state. He`s with you
on the issues. Why are you yelling at him?
YATES: I would say to those people he`s exactly the person we should
be talking to along with other folks. For people that say that they are
for black life, that say that they are actually addressing this issues to
stumble on stage and not be able to respond in the moment is directly in
contradiction to what those people are saying. And I would also say to
those people, to challenge their own faith in that candidate and to
challenge their faith in all candidates around these issues and to really
pressure them and see how they respond and then to take that
into account.
And I would also say that, you know, Bernie Sanders has been portrayed
as this huge left leaning guy, right? And those folks should be on the
side of black people. But when he`s pressured with black issues, he
immediately defers to an economic lens and we know that that does not help
address structural racism and what we`re asking and what we need is
candidates who are not afraid to vigorously attack structural racism and
understand that that has implications for all of the other issues that
America suffers with.
HAYES: Ashley Yates, thank you so much.
I should note, interestingly Hillary Clinton got a question about this
today from The Washington Post, Weseley Lowery. She says black lives
matter. Everyone in this country should stand firmly behind that. We need
to acknowledge some hard truths about race and justice in this country and
one of those hard truths is that racial inequality is not merely a symptom
of economic inequality.
Interestingly enough, seems to be speaking to just what Ashley said.
All right, up next the new battlefront opening up in the Uber wars of
HAYES: Most of us working on this show live in the New York City
area. And like anyone here, there are a few things we`ve become used to
over the ears. One of them is a TV ad for a local limousine company, which
airs on all channels here constantly.
HAYES: Now Carmel is a fine company, but anyone who has seen this ad
say 200 or 300 times, which is all of us, notices a thing or two. One is
that he guy in the white shirt with the black necktie clearly doesn`t know
the words to the song.
HAYES: Now you have to give him credit for effort. He`s trying. And
they all get the choreography pretty well.
But here`s the new thing we`ve noticed, Carmel Limousine has a new ad
ANNOUNCER: A person shouldn`t be able to be picked up without being
ripped off.
HAYES: An anti-Uber attack ad complete with Law and Order sound
effect. And trust me, that one is not nearly as harsh as the one depicting
an Uber driver making unwanted sexual advances on a passenger.
Local limo companies are feeling the Uber pressure these days. And
they`re not the only ones. When we return, Uber is running a negative ad
of its own. And they`re not going after Carmel, they`re own going right at
the mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio. That`s next. Don`t go away.
HAYES: All right, take a look at this protest. What do you think
it`s about? It is not Tahrir Square, and it`s civil unrest in reaction to
a police shooting here at home. It`s taxi drivers in Paris, France
protesting the car service Uber, burning tires and blocking highways and
access to Charles de Gaulle Airport.
After this day long protest, France cracked down on Uber using
existing laws that make its very existence there basically illegal. It was
an intense battle in what has become a global war between Uber and
entrenched taxi companies and a lot of their drivers as well as a high
stacks fight between Uber and every politician who tries to stand in its
Uber goes after its opponents hard. Right now in the crosshairs, New
York Mayor Bill de Blasio who is facing a full-fledged political campaign
because he wants to cap the growth and the number of drivers for companies
like Uber.
The mayor cites concerns about safety and congestion. Since 2011,
25,000 on demand drivers have entered the New York market. And between
2010 and 2014, the city reported a 9 percent decrease in average Manhattan
traffic speeds.
Uber, through ads and other means responds that anyone against Uber is
just in the pocket of the existing taxi industry and that Uber helps
underserved people
get much needed transportation.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I just drove somebody at Coney Island who always
complains about not being able to catch a ride.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is New York. We live in five boroughs.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We don`t just pick people up, we pick ourselves
up, we
pick our families up.
HAYES: And this battle isn`t just happening in New York, it`s getting
played out across country from California to St. Louis to Florida. So much
so some people are calling 2016 the Uber election.
Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton seemed to be criticizing Uber
and the on demand or gig economy in a recent economic speech saying that
while it created exciting opportunities, it raised questions about
workplace protections.
Presidential candidate Jeb Bush responded in a post defending Uber
"Disrupting Washington to unleash innovators" and he used the service in
San Francisco.
Presidential candidates Marco Rubio and Rand Paul also criticized
Clinton for her remarks.
So, the question is why is a car service app, let`s keep in mind what
this is, at the center of an increasingly nasty political battle? And what
does it say
about the future of the American economy and anxieties about it?
A debate on that when we return.
HAYES: Joining me now, Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for
Economic and Policy Research and Kish Rajan, a board member for Cal
Innovates, a technology advocacy group.
Dean, let me start with you. I wanted to have you on tonight, because
you are someone who is sort of politics are progressive. You`re an
economist but you have also written really persuasively about how bad kind
of entrenched cartels can be all throughout the economy and how much
cronyism they can engender.
And I`m curious when you watch this battle play out city after city,
country after country, between Uber which sort of styles itself the
innovative disrupter against the bad incumbent taxi interests, how are you
reading this situation?
DEAN BAKER, CENTER FOR ECONOMIC AND POLICY RESEARCH: I think it`s a
very interesting story. I mean, the incumbent taxi industry I don`t think
is anything that anyone would really want to preserve. We have archaic
rules. The regulations were there to ensure their profits, you know, an
industry that really hadn`t had an innovation for decades.
Uber changed that.
But on the other hand, Uber doesn`t want to play by any rules. And
that doesn`t make sense, because the original rules were designed to serve
legitimate public purposes and ensure that the cabs were safe and the
drivers wouldn`t jeopardize passengers and there was proper insurance. So
these were all rules that served a real purpose.
Uber comes in and says, hey, none of that applies to us. And that
really doesn`t make sense. So, good to see the disruption. I think we
have seen improvements in taxi service. But that doesn`t mean you want no
HAYES: Yeah, this, Kish, seems the issue here. There`s sort of two
happening. One is the actual way Uber, not as a principle of disruption,
as an actual company conducts itself. I mean, they can be really nasty. I
mean, at one point they had to apologize because a competitor called Get,
they were calling and canceling rides to basically flood their system. And
have -- the mailers they are running after candidates here are as hard
nosed as it gets.
Do you think this is the kind of thing a company should be doing?
KISH RAJAN, CAL INNOVATORS: Well, listen, I think that it`s important
to understand that this is happening in the context of the sharing economy,
which is part of a bigger innovation economy that brings tremendous
So clearly I think any company should be conducting itself in ways
that are upstanding and that are contributing positively to the communities
that they serve and their consumers. And by the way, what you see in
success of the sharing economy is that it`s consumer demand driven.
HAYES: Can I just stop you for a second? People call the sharing
economy I
don`t understand why. No one is sharing anything. People are just selling
things a different way. Let`s just be clear.
AirBNB, Urber, it`s not like, hey, dude, hop in my car or like hey
just like hang out in my house. They are selling. It`s a service. That`s
fine. But let`s just call it what it is.
RAJAN: Well, I think what you see in this new innovation economy are
people sharing their talents, their ideas, their assets, their resources
that they bring as individuals and they are plugging into a whole new
economy in a whole new way.
HAYES: But again Kish, sorry, they`re not sharing them, they`re
selling them. Let`s just to be clear. People talk about it like we got
some sort of at based utopian hippy collective where everybody has their
excess room or their ride and we`re all -- it`s just -- it`s a really
fascinating and in some ways I think incredible and in some ways dangerous
or sort of freighted way of distributing resources. But it is just a set
of market transactions.
RAJAN: Well, I do think again I do think that the point that we`re
making is that in this new economy it`s entrepreneurial by nature. It`s
very dynamic. It`s changing all the time. And it`s presenting amazing
opportunities for people, individuals, and small businesses to take their
talents, their assets, their ambitions, and connect to a whole new economy
in a whole new way. That`s very exciting. It`s creating lots of upsides
and lots of things that we want to pursue.
BAKER: You`re saying a whole new way. I think this really is kind of
the double speak that has many people like myself very upset, because you
know still have people working and, you know, an Uber driver, you go, oh,
labor laws don`t apply, minimum wage doesn`t apply, overtime laws doesn`t
apply, workers comp doesn`t apply because it`s the new economy.
This is not serious. And that`s the sort of thing gets -- as I say --
myself and many others I think very angry, because it`s not a serious way
to talk about it.
So, yes, being able to order cabs over the internet, that`s a good
thing. I`m glad we`re able to do that. But that doesn`t mean all of the
regulations we had in the past shouldn`t apply.
RAJAN: Well, Dean, listen, I would certainly say that we at Cal
Innovates are not talking about no regulation.
You know, I myself have worked in government at the federal, state, I
was an elected official at the local level. I understand and respect the
role and importance of government and rules. There`s no question. There
have to be sensible rules.
But here`s the challenge government can be a blunt instrument. It can
be a hammer on every problem that it sees as a nail. And what we can`t do
now is apply
old regulatory regimes to whole new business models that we never even
envisioned ten years ago.
HAYES: Can I just say something here? People driving cars for other
people isn`t some new radical thing. The original regulation -- again,
what Uber is able to do from a coordination standpoint is remarkable. OK.
It is genuine innovation. And if anyone is out of work, it`s the
dispatchers, OK. So, that`s where creative destruction is happening.
But people driving cars for other people and paying for that is a
thing that people have been doing for a long time.
In fact, the original -- the taxi regulations in New York started in
the `30s when there was all this excess labor during the depression, and it
was like, maybe I could make a buck driving a car. So, this idea that like
it`s outdated just doesn`t scan to me.
RAJAN: Well, Chris, I think you`re right that the special sauce of
these sharing economy solutions that we`re talking about is the technology
platform, it is the application, it`s the way the user is experiencing the
services. But you can`t dismiss that. That`s critical. It`s
fundamentally transforming the experience and consumers are flocking to it,
It`s clearly -- they are obviously in this space and in other spaces,
it`s open for disruption and opening for something that`s positive and I
think that`s why you see such tremendous response to it.
HAYES: I`m going to end this segment by recommending Dean`s writing
on these issues, particularly about the way the medical cartel functions in
the U.S., which is an under recognized problems. I`d like to see some
disruption there.
Dean Baker and Kish Rajan, thank you very much.
And that is All In for this evening. The Rachael Maddow Show starts
right now.

Ethiopia Kochere
Nylon Coffee Roasters
This delicious coffee comes from the Teklu Dembel washing station, located near the Ch'elelek'tu town in the Kochere Woreda ("community") of Yirgacheffe. This lot was contributed by approximately 600 small-holder farmers, with altitude ranging from 1800m to 2000m.
This is probably one of the most interesting Yirgacheffe coffees we have tasted. When we cupped it, the intense aromatics and citrusy flavours wowed us from start to end. The aroma is lusciously floral with hints of bergamot and honey. We taste citrus peels, lemon grass, tangerine and blueberries (especially when it cools). A delicate tea-like body doesn't take away the incredible caramel sweetness that emerges with every sip make this an unforgettable cup experience.
We feel this beautiful coffee works best as a brewed coffee. The intense aromas together with the harmony of floral and fruity flavours make this cup a feast for your senses!
- Location:Kochere, Yirgacheffe
- Varietal:Heirloom varietals
- Process:Wet-processed
- Altitude:1800m-2000m
This is a very limited run of this coffee so make sure you grab a bag to try or drop by soon for a cup to taste!

What would you do when a dashing officer asks you to marry him, and wants to take you away to another continent?
How would you react if this husband gets murdered and you are taken prisoner? Even forced to marry a foreign ruler?
How do you survive if your town is under attack and you are accused of treason?
And what happens if at last you meet this one man who sweeps you off your feet?
The answers are all in this novel. Maria is a strong woman, but she has to overcome many hardships to find her one true love.
Cornwall, 1635
The banners were flying proudly from the sturdy towers of Fenwick Castle. It promised to be a beautiful day in May. The skies were clear and there was no threat of rain.
Lady Fenwick, bearing her sixty-nine years with grace, was standing before one of the windows of the highest tower and looking down at the lawns beneath her. She was a fragile woman with now totally white hair and blue eyes which had kept their beauty throughout the years.
She found herself in her secret room - a small, rounded turret room with oak panelling. Years ago the previous mistress of Fenwick Castle had it closed up because the stairway leading to it was deemed unsafe. Mary had taken advantage of one of Michael's many absences to have it secretly repaired and now used the room to keep her hidden treasures. Only she and Tetla had the keys to open it.
At first, Michael, Lord Fenwick, had not wanted the Indian woman, Tetla, to remain his wife's most trusted serving woman. Lady Fenwick sometimes thought Michael was afraid of Tetla, and of her sorcery, about which many of the villagers were whispering. But Mary could always persuade Michael to let her have her way. Tetla had come along and had shared her secrets ever since.
"Daughter of the Sun? They are waiting for you!" Mary had not heard the soft footsteps. The words Tetla uttered were in a language that only Mary and Tetla could understand, the ancient language of the Aztec Indians. Mary nodded her head.
"I know, my dear. Tell my lord that I'm coming down at any moment."
"The children are waiting eagerly. They want to escort their grandmother to church."
Ah, the grandchildren! They were the joy of her life, the children of the sons and daughters she had borne Michael – and who had slowly, gradually, made up for the loss of her little boy, her prince.
Together she and Michael were the parents of four children--two sons and two daughters, all healthy and full of life and mischief, just like their father. The eldest son was baptized Michael, after his father (but to Mary after her first husband, Miguel). The second son had been named Philip, supposedly after her father but in fact after Don Felipe, her third husband.
"Not much longer, Tetla. I only need a minute."
Today they were celebrating Viscount Fenwick's seventieth birthday. Not many people of their age were so fortunate. Everyone, their children, their grandchildren, and the people in the village told them how blessed they were to reach such an old age without loss of health and strength.
"Only one more minute…"
"So I will tell them, Daughter of the Sun." Tetla bowed and left the room.
Mary withdrew from the window and slowly walked round the room. Lately she needed more and more time in here. She wanted to cherish the past, and could do so by looking at the artefacts and mementos she had brought along from New Spain.
Her eye fell on the beautifully ornamented jewellery box, the one that Felipe had given her so long ago. She opened it and picked up a feather, of which the colour had once been emerald-green. She smiled. The feather had been part of the magnificent headdress she had owned then--her crown of feathers. The crown the Daughter of the Sun had worn at official celebrations.
With a pang of regret she put the feather away. Then she looked at the golden ring with the sapphire, the one that matched her eyes, as Felipe had told her repeatedly. It did not fit around her finger anymore. That was good in a way, because she might be tempted to wear it--which Michael would certainly not appreciate given his jealous nature.
"Mary! Mary, hurry up! We should be going!"
Was that his voice? Yes.
Coffee Time Romance says:
It was such a wonderful surprise to have a character written with this much strength and understanding. This story is such a wonderful blend of pit falls and triumphs. Maria Gonzalez is a wonderfully written book,with a really remarkable main character who no matter the situation continues to fight on.

The American animated cartoon "The Jetsons" sold us the idea that in the future, we would move around in flying cars, have Rosie robot cleaners and enjoy odd bits of inventions all made to make our lives easier. The last episode of The Jetsons aired in 1989, and, while we do not have flying cars or cleaning robots, we are rapidly acquiring automatic everything.
In the parking industry, robots are not an aspiration but a reality. Here are some examples of some of the latest automatic parking solutions in the industry:
Serva's parking robot RAY
RAY is a parking robot that not only takes away the responsibility of parking from the driver, but also maximizes the available parking space in a garage. RAY doesn't need to maneuver to move the cars, but rather gently picks them up and drops them off allowing cars to be parked closely. RAY can also adapt to existing parking garages which reduces start-up costs for parking operators. For more information about RAY, please click here.
Skyline's T- and L- Parking
Skyline offers two different shaped parking solutions that maximize space. You simply drop off your car at the reception point, and the automatic system transports your car to the assigned parking space with the use of conveyors. Car retrieval is under 60 seconds. For more information about Skyline's parking solution, click here.
Otto Woehr Auto-Parksysteme
With the use of a turntable and car lifts, Woehr's parking solution also maximizes parking space. In a Singapur apartment building, owners are able to park their cars in front of their living rooms. This not only looks impressive, but it reduces the space that would have been used for a parking garage. For an example of Woehr's parking solution, click here.
Sotefin Transporters
The transporters Sotefin installs in automatic parking garages can move the cars to different floors as well as parking spaces. Cars are quickly and efficiently received and retrieved, and parking space is maximized. For more information about Sotefin's parking solution, click here.
The different automatic parking products are feasible solutions for different types of parking garages. The main benefit for parking garages is the maximization of space. This may seem like a small advantage, but with the growing numbers of cars circulating, space is a big issue for parking operators. We might have to wait for flying cars, but, in the meantime, we can enjoy Jetsons-like parking solutions!

By: Jeff Bacon CEC CCA CDM AAC Executive Chef – Triad Community Kitchen
During the seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas many old memories are revived and new ones made based upon the smells and flavors of family recipes and dishes. The smell of baked bread and apple pie bring back euphoric recall of Grandma's kitchen. Some of the recipes I have developed myself as a chef over the years and then tried out on friends and family have also formed cherished memories. Many of these cherished dishes are from the bakery and pantry. Indeed if I had to pick an area of expertise for either of my grandmothers or my mother it would be in the area of sweets, salads and side dishes. The center piece of any holiday meal should be the protein right? A golden roasted work of art, succulent in its caramelization and juices. How many true master pieces have we really experienced over the years if we stop to think about it? Aren't most of our memories of the Thanksgiving turkey those of longing anticipation as we relish the roasting aromas of browning poultry, only at long last to be disappointed by dry meat that crumbles as it is sliced? The pork roast that, while tasty, lacks that certain something that would make it worthy of being the star of the meal? I have assembled some basic techniques that will make a huge difference in the star quality of your holiday protein. These are not at all complex, just good solid science and classical methodology that may just allow you to cook some roasts worthy of cherished memory status.
Don't over cook! This is the number one mistake, especially with poultry. We are so concerned with food safety (as well we should be) that we ere on the side of incineration. Perfect poultry should be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees. Never use the pop up thermometers that come in supermarket turkeys. They are normally set to "pop" at 175-180 which is a good 10-15 degree to the "bad" side of perfection. Remember that large roasts will "carry over" cook once removed from the oven and the internal temperature will continue to rise. A 20 pound turkey will continue to cook another 10 degrees once removed from the oven so I usually pull it at around 155 leaving the thermometer in while it rests (removing it while the roast is piping hot just creates a hole for juices to squirt out of). Pork roasts are done at 145 degrees. Beef roasts are medium rare at 132-135 and medium at 140. These temperatures are for naturally tender cuts that are roasted to temp. For pot roasts and such where a fork tender product is the goal, cook temperatures will be higher.
Purchase a good meat thermometer. You can get a professional bimetallic stemmed pocket thermometer for $5 – $10 at Sam's or Target. I have included a link of where to find several online http://www.instawares.com/test-thermometers.150.3.65184.108.40.206.htm . Remember to get one that reads from 0 -220 degrees Fahrenheit.
Rest first. All roasts must rest 15-30 minutes before carving. A 20 pound turkey should rest at least 45 minutes. Try covering with foil as they rest to retain moisture and heat. I know you've waited all day and you're hungry so start early enough to allow for this step! Carving meat while piping hot allows all of the natural juices to run out onto the carving board instead of staying in the meat. This simple rule makes a huge difference.
Keep the door closed. For a crisp crusty exterior and a moist interior it is important to keep the heat in the oven, thus a closed door. Constant fiddling, basting and checking will adversely affect the final product. Basting in fact, while promotinga flavorful crust, does nothing for the moistness of the final product. More will be gained for the exterior by leaving the door closed, so basting is a no win proposition. An additional tool that is helpful for this and will also help with keeping proper internal cook temperatures is a remote probe oven thermometer. You will insert the thermometer probe into your roast at the beginning of the cooking process and it connects to the actual thermometer via a remote cable. This allows you to constantly monitor the internal temperature of your roast without ever opening the door. Many of these are available for between $15 and $40, like the Taylor remote thermometer http://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Digital-Oven-Thermometer-Timer/dp/B00004XSC5
Trying any or all of these techniques should make a noticeable difference in your roasts. The principles of utilizing proper internal cooking temperatures, resting, and leaving the door closed are universal and work with any type of roast. Brining is a no go for beef and lamb, however brining is an excellent technique for any poultry type, pork, veal and many types of game work well too. I have included a couple of brine recipes below as well as a step by step recipe to brining then roasting.
Basic Brine for Poultry, Game or Pork
(Will accommodate up to a 12 pound roast for larger size roasts modify to 1 ½ gallon or 2 gallon)
1 gallon cold water
1 cup salt
½ cup sugar
Herb Infused Brine
(Will accommodate up to a 12 pound roast for larger size roasts modify to 1 ½ gallon or 2 gallon)
1 gallon cold water
3 Tablespoons each fresh Sage ,Thyme, Marjoram, Oregano
1 cup salt
½ cup sugar
Place herbs in hot skillet or frying pan and toast until aromatic before adding to brine
Step by Step Brine and Roast Recipe
Choose desired brine and mix according to recipe in a container large enough to hold brine and roast without overflowing. Submerge thawed roast completely in brine.
(A stock pot will work for the smaller batches and will usually fit on the bottom shelf of your fridge. For larger roasts and turkeys requiring a 2 gallon or larger brine, a clean five gallon bucket is usually required. This may present a problem fitting in most home refrigerators. A solution is to situate the bucket in a large cooler surrounded by ice and water then place brine and roast in bucket. You must carefully monitor the water temperature of the brine during this process making sure that it stays at 40 degrees or colder to ensure food safety You may need to add extra ice through the process to maintain temp)
After 12-24 hours remove roast from brine and drain well. You may wish to blot exterior dry and rub with a light coating of oil to promote browning. Season as desired but utilize salt very lightly.
Roast in hot oven. Start cooking at 450 degrees for the first 20 minutes then reduce heat to 325 for the remainder of cook time. Roast until desired internal temperature is achieved. Do not open oven excessively during roasting. Allow roast to rest for 20-30 minutes depending upon size.
Additional notes for brining. If stuffing a bird or pork roast, do not use salt or salted bouillon or broth in the stuffing recipe. The salt from the brined bird will infuse into the stuffing. Actually the stuffing will draw some of the salt from the roast reducing its effectiveness. For best results you may wish to prepare stuffing in a separate pan. If using the pan drippings for gravy you will want to use low or no sodium broth to extend the drippings. If using water do not add additional salt.

To find a criminal defense lawyer in Virginia, positive will soon need to go to several criminal attorneys at their lawyer or the net to verify that you discover any in your area. In case you speak having a criminal defense lawyer, certain you that the lawyer is an expert in their particular her field. The criminal lawyer should be capable of to a person how or perhaps she will handle your case. Try finding a criminal defense lawyer provides handled many cases like yours and won. That way the lawyer will exactly what to expect from the Judge as soon as your case is presented.
When you finally hire a lawyer, will perform what happened because only then would they be capable of figure out a approach to help get you started. For instance, your criminal defense lawyer can debate that illegal items that were located in your possession were cultivated. If that is the case, during the arraignment proceedings, you will enter a plea of not sinful.
There are two varieties of criminal lawyers that require it and it see more or less. The first type is often a defense advisor. The second type of lawyer can be a prosecutor. Their job is to show just cause why the defendant is unfaithful. Both have two different purposes and although both require issue schooling, what's important to just how to differentiate the both.
How exactly do your fees show good results? Make sure you fully understand their fee structure as this differs from one Miami criminal lawyer to extra. Check to see if their consultation is free of charge or actually.
The Fort Lauderdale lawyer judy clarke can advice about a problem as small on the totem pole like driving drunk all the way up any problem as big during the totem pole as assault and sexual assault. Having the right legal council will keep you from making more problems for yourself with more bad results. The defense attorney has numerous experience dealing with the principles about instant and know how the judges work while confronting hard possibilities.
Top Secret #2. At the initial consultation, your as found on the interwebz is able to tell you what you are someone to hear. "I believe with your innocence." "We will fight these charges all means to trial if necessary." This may potentially be lip service to get you to hand over that check. The particular check is cashed, don't be surprised in cases where a criminal defense lawyer starts singing a different tune.
You should make sure you will be hiring lawyer who has tried cases similar to yours. Find out how successful and may when an identical cases went before a judge. This is able to also become a good time for every one in a lawyer go over if exactly what the chances are of you being good. Again, if the lawyer promises a win, get from their office and check somewhere besides you.
Selecting a criminal defense lawyer important because not be able to get a suitable defense probably will get a guilty outcome. You can prevent that form happening since you are given time to look 1 before in order to arraigned and asked how does plead before the judge.

Andorra or Denmark? Secessionists free-riding on the idea of Europe
Secessionists in Catalonia and Scotland pay lip service to the European ideal: they want, so they claim, to be "independent" member-states in Europe. They want to be "like Denmark", small countries with a very high standard of living and high quality institutions. However, it is hard to see how they can build these institutions, which in the case of Denmark have their origins in an era where financial and trading transactions across borders were much lower than today. It is hard to see how they will build better institutions than those that they enjoy today, when they are in fact capturing their democratic institutions to promote the project of a part of their societies, instead of spending their time using the important bunch of the state they already control to improve the quality of life of all their citizens. It is hard to see how an independent Scotland will have better democratic institutions than British institutions. That is why even those in favour of the yes vote in the September referendum want to retain some key UK institutions, such as the Monarchy, the currency or the public television. By seceding from countries that have gone to great lengths to decentralize in the last decades, and that are integrated in the European Union and in a global economy, they run the risk of actually leaving the EU and becoming like Andorra (a small fiscal haven) rather than like Denmark. Europe is in the process of advancing towards a closer Union and creating new borders is clearly a step backwards in this process. Better institutions are build by efficiently using the current instruments of democratic government. Secessionists in Quebec also claimed for a long time (before the majority stopped listening) that Canada was a failed country. If Canada, one of the most civilized, democratic and decentralized countries in the world, is a failed country, what are all the others? In fact, when they are hard pressed, secessionists have no interest in the idea of a Union that leaves nation-states behind, and they reveal that their preferred option to solve Rodrik's trilemma is either to abandon democracy de facto (by retaining globalization and the nation-state) or to abandon globalization (they must know how).

Hi there,
I'm a photographer and filmmaker based in Amsterdam often travelling for projects around the globe.
Photography has always been part of the Paramos family. My grand grand father was a photographer, just as his father (my grandpa) shared the same passion and both my dad and my uncle carry a camera often even today. So I guess it is safe to say there was a pretty good chance I'd follow the same steps.
It was at the age of 13 that I got to pick up a camera for the first time. My sister handed me her camera for a day for me to go out and experience this thing called photography that I didn't know much about. Something happened that day I wasn't really aware of at the time. The thrill and discovery of a new growing love. Back then, I couldn't possibly imagine I was going to publish my first book in 10 years and that I'd be on national TV for it. Or that I would do multiple exhibits and talks and eventually between the hustle and some lucky breaks this passion would become my profession.
In short, not long after that I've moved to the Netherlands with my better half and have been happily calling Amsterdam home for the past 4 years. I'm also half of 'The Paramos', a wedding photography husband and wife duo. You can check our work here.
If you've come this far, I'd like you to know I'm truly grateful for taking the time to dig through my website. You're awesome and I would love to meet you. Better yet, create something beautiful together.
Some selected accolades.

Passing the Time
23 Oct
courtesy of smellslikeupdog
Our video profile was posted on September 10 and it was, one one hand, a big relief. We went around and around with our agency over the video contract and then we ran into all sorts of problems actually getting it filmed.
What kinds of problems, you ask? Well, for example, I had an Avastin injection on July 2 that resulted in a big, red burst blood vessel in the white of my eye that was hardly the kind of thing I wanted immortalized on video. Then our puppy, Casey, got into the foam packing for the video camera and destroyed it. Oh puppy.
Anyway, once the video was posted, I was relieved. For about three days.
That's how long it took me to realize there was nothing left for us to do. We filed all our paperwork. We passed our home study. We filled out the Adoption Planning Questionnaire. We created our family profile. We filmed our video profile. All the tasks were done and all that was left was the wait. We'd been waiting for three months already by the time the video was posted, but our profile wasn't technically complete until that video was online. Until then, I was still mentally checking things off a list.
And now I've come to the end of the list. Nothing from this point forward is in my control. We're just waiting for time to pass.
It's terrifying. As a project-oriented person, the end of a to do list leaves me feeling at odds.
I waited a month, hopping that feeling would pass. No such luck. A series of events in late September left me feeling even less in control of the world.
Our called our adoption specialist who offered this advice on passing the time: Decorate the nursery. Travel (with trip insurance). Go out to dinner and to the movies. Finish up any lingering house projects.
Oh – and start thinking about new photos we might want to put on our profile in three months or so.
Ah-ha! A project …

Cowan's Public
Cowan's Public is a revitalized bar and restaurant bringing craft beer, artisanal cocktails and an NYC atmosphere to New Jersey suburban residents. Built in the 1920s, the bars decor pays homage to its history and its identity was created with a nod to that and to appeal to its modern day audience of quality seekers.
The logo was adapted to custom deco signage that's lit up on the bars exterior. In addition to the logo, a "C" mark was created as part of the bars identity that was embossed on their business cards and hand stamped onto coasters and matchbooks. The beer menu was also accompanied by matching custom stamps that say either "just kicked" or "just tapped" on the "on deck" section, which helps to prolong the life of the menu and communicate to customers what's no longer available and what's coming soon. The art deco theme was carried through to the required first aid and other required public service signs. The warm feeling of the space is continued on the responsive website, with a deco stenciled background and warm candle lit photography.
Prior to opening the bars identity, as it began to appear on social media, helped to build a lot of excitement and it continues to get much positive feedback from its patrons.

Health Services
Amy Yglesias, LPN
Preschool/Elem School Nurse
Kim Stafki, LPN Middle/High School Nurse
632-2347 firstname.lastname@example.com
Your school nurses
The school nurses will discuss any medical problem related to your child with you and may contact you regarding any prolonged absences. Any accident incurred on the school premises should be reported immediately. A school health paraprofessional will be in the office when the nurse is not available.
If your child's programming needs to be changed due to sickness or injury, please have your physician send details of your child's limitations and their durations to the WDC Health Services.
Are your kids ready? Minnesota immunizations
Click here for a list of immunizations needed by age
All students entering the 7th grade need to have these 2 immunizations:
- Tdap
- Meningococcal vaccine
For your child to enter school it is mandatory that an immunization form be completed, signed and on file prior to admission at the school your child will attend. (or a copy from the clinic) The information you provide on this form will be available to the local public health agency and the Minnesota Department of Health to determine if your child has received the required immunizations.
These requirements may be waived only if a notarized medical or conscientious exemption form is filed with the school. (available on our website, under Health Services)
If you have not done so, please get your 7th grader into the clinic or public health to update. These can also be done during the student sports physical.
"Send Home" Policy
If a student has a temperature of 100 degrees or higher, or is determined to be too ill to be in school for the day (diarrhea, vomiting, suspicious rash, chronic coughing, etc.), the parent/guardian will be called to pick up their child.
Wadena-Deer Creek School health office policies are guided by evidence-based practices. The guiding resource used is the Infectious Diseases in Childcare Settings and Schools Manual written and regularly updated by the Hennepin County Human Services and Public Health Department Epidemiology Unit. The manual informs administrators, childcare providers, caregivers, parents and guardians, and school health staff about specific infectious disease problems they may encounter in the childcare setting or in schools. This manual is designed to provide specific disease prevention and control guidelines which are consistent with the national standards put forth by the American Public Health Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
This guide can also be accessed here.
Every child and situation is unique; WDC school nurses and principals will strive to make disease prevention and control decisions based on the above guidelines.
If an accident occurs involving a student, every effort will be made to contact the parent/guardian of the child and to take action at the parent/guardian's direction. If a parent/guardian cannot be contacted, school officials will take whatever means necessary to preserve the health of the child.
Parents/guardians of any child with health problems, which might cause a health emergency, should be certain to notify the school of the problems and the procedures that would need to be followed should the child become ill at school. Fill out the Emergency Contact Form. It must include an alternative emergency contact in case the parent/guardian cannot be reached.
Activity Restrictions at School
Physical Education is a regular part of our school curriculum. If a child has an injury or illness that requires that they be excused from activity in physical education, a physician's order should be sent to the nurse and PE teacher. It is expected that any child who has restricted activity in physical education will have restricted activity at recess. We need to be certain that any student who is recovering from an injury or illness is safe at school.
According to school district policy, any child well enough to attend school should be well enough to participate in recess: Fresh air and activity are important to learning. Time outside helps clear the mind and encourages further learning. Occasionally a parent will request that a student remain inside because of a "cold" or "ear infection." Studies show that it is helpful to be outside for short periods if an upper respiratory infection is present. The increased humidity outdoors often helps clear the congestion. As long as a child is dressed appropriately for the weather, it is not detrimental to their health to go outside for recess. All students should bring hats and mittens to wear if the weather is cool. If recess accommodations are needed, please consult with your physician and meet with our staff to develop an appropriate plan.
Health Records
A health record for each school child is required by law in Minnesota. An update request slip will be sent home with the student each year so that his/her health history may be kept current. If your child experiences a change in health status, please notify the school nurse at 632-2150, Ext. 303.
Immunization Program
Minnesota Statues require that all children entering a Minnesota public, private or parochial elementary school, daycare setting or nursery school for the first time, must be immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, Hepatitis B and chicken pox. These requirements may be waived only if a notarized medical or conscientious exemption form is filed with the school.
For your child to enter school it is mandatory that an immunization form be completed, signed and on file prior to admission at the school your child will attend. The information you provide on this form will be available to the local public health agency and the Minnesota Department of Health to determine if your child has received the required immunizations.
Students will be given prescription medication by the health services department only if a licensed physician prescribes it, it is in the original container, and there is written parent/guardian permission to follow the doctor's order. All over-the-counter medication must be in the original container, and a Medication Authorization form must be completed, i.e. cough drops, antacids, Tylenol. All medications brought to school must be kept in the health services department. An exception would be a medication kept with the student once approved by the school nurse with proper doctor's orders, i.e. inhalers. You may get a copy of the Student Medication Policy at the elementary school health office.

Rosetree Wedding at Millennium Gardens
Hello Loves, To bring a little sunshine your way and to forget about these rainy days, we thought we would remember a glorious wedding day filled with the sun shining, warmth and of course LOVE. Kyle & Chayna were so fun, sweet and easy going. Plymouth Creek Center & Millennium Gardens in Plymouth, MN are considered perfect for weddings where nature is the backdrop and the view is breathtaking. We adore the bride's "something blue" puma's and the beautiful necklaces and clutches given to each one of her bridesmaids. The necklaces were a lovely touch to the coral dresses donned day of. If the floral outside was beautiful enough for the guest, when they walked into the venue they were in awe with the gorgeous centerpieces La Petite Fleur created for their wedding day.

Keep the fire burning
This week, the comprehensive worship resource magazine Celebration (http://www.celebrationpublications.org) published my article Sacred Art in Advent: Two models of the Advent wreath in their November issue (41:11). I wrote the article to offer liturgical ministers a few different and creative options from the traditional model of the evergreen wreath with three purple candles and one rose candle. The article provides some information on how to think and reflect about liturgical environment during Advent and asks readers to consider their own worship space and communities within the contexts of liturgical documents and several other resources. I offer directions on how to create two different models.
Model I
I learned how to construct Model I when I worked with Fr. Paul Caron at St. Francis Xavier. He taught me that rich and worthy symbols need no explanation; they speak for themselves. Worthy symbols provide expression for a worshipping community that "draws the faithful into the compelling love of Christ and sets them on fire." (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 10). Candle bearers carry the candles weekly throughout the season of Advent. The light of Christ 'builds' throughout Advent as the community anticipates Christmas, when the symbol is transformed into the fullness of seasonal light and joy. Model I serves the community throughout Advent until the end of the Christmas season when the church celebrates the Baptism of the Lord.
In Celebration's article, I describe how Model I becomes part of the weekly procession throghout Advent. If you want to see Model I in action, go to St. Anthony's in Mattapoisett, MA where Fr. Caron serves as pastor. Fr. Caron and the parish community of St. Anthony's provided these beautiful photos. I'm grateful to Fr. Caron who continues to inspire and teach anyone fortunate enough to work and worship with him. He represents the finest skills in liturgical and pastoral praxis.
Model II
I created Model II for the Chapel of Mary at Stonehill College and describe its construction in the article. In my first year at Stonehill, I tried Model I during Advent and Christmas. However, the symbol overwhelmed the smaller worship space that seats about 180 people. Even though the cathedral ceiling of the chapel afforded a generous height for Model I, the Advent symbol did not resonate with that worshipping community. I went back to the drawing board and applied the basic questions: what Advent symbol could I create that would be worthy, of superb quality and appropriate for this worship space?
The Advent symbol for the Chapel of Mary became four small wreaths that I used to flank both ambo and altar. I give directions to create Model II in the article in Celebration. This model also continues to serve as the liturgical environment throughout the Christmas season with a few alterations of candles and replacing violet and rose lattice with holly berries.
You can purchase independent copies of the article at Celebration or you can become a subscriber. I highly recommend the second option. Here's why.
Take a look at Celebration's FREE October issue. Celebration offers indispensable tools for presiders, preachers, musicians and other liturgical ministers. The publication also provides articles that inform, educate and inspire ALL ministers to be the best that we can be for the people we serve and for the liife of a dispirited world. Click on the link --- a treasure awaits you!
To align with the opening of the Second Vatican Council's opening on October 11, 1962, Celebration offers some really informative and inspiring articles. Here's a small sample of some of the material within this gem of a magazine.
A New Way of Being Church by Biagio Mazz
Key Teachings of the Second Vatican Council by Biagio Mazz
Vatican II Redux: The Council's documents send us forth by Peg Ekerd
Remembering Heaven: Sacrosanctum Concilium: The first act of Vatican II by Barbara O'Neill
As a special monthly feature for the next year, liturgist Gabe Huck invites us to reflect on a passage from one of the documents of the Second Vatican Council in Celebration. He challenges us. "For those who preach, I encourage you to consider these reflections as leading to preaching one Sunday each month on the council documents." You bet, Gabe.
Celebration Publications invites you to download the October issue FOR FREE and "view it, print it, share it with your colleagues, and publish the content in your parish bulletin: it's yours to use." How's THAT for a bargain?! I even provided you with the FREE PDF... click and enjoy!
Friends, we need to keep the fire burning under the burner of what Vatican II began 50 years ago. Let's revisit the magnificent documents that the Second Vatican Council produced. The Spirit of God breathed a gust of wind into the counsel imagined and convened by Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli who became Pope John XXIII. Pope John envisioned a church that gave hope, joy and life to the world. What does that mean for us as baptized Christians in 2012?
Let's find out together. At long last, The Roncalli Center will launch on October 9, 2012 at 7:00 pm. Save the date and time and check back next week for more information.
As always, feel free to comment, ask questions and voice concerns. And send in anything that you might like to see or hear the Roncalli Center address in the months ahead. I'm open to all suggestions. This center is for you.

Coryn and I go way back. We both cheered for our high school. I will never forget how genuinely kind and helpful she was to a younger sophomore like me and not much has changed. We got back in touch at a mutual high school friend's party last year and I was so excited to see she was recently engaged to Brian and had the biggest smile on her face.
I had just relaunched the planning side of AVD so it was perfect timing and I was so glad I could offer month of coordination for Coryn and Brian. Coryn was amazing to work with. She was organized and on top of things, not always necessary when working with me but very much appreciated. Coryn and Brian, it was a complete honor to help you on your wedding day. The way you make each other smile is incredibly infectious and I hope you continue to make each other smile for many, many more years!

text: Along side the recipes I have included a very rudimentary guide as to which of the four seasons each dish falls into (some will straddle 2 or 3, even all of our four seasons). Within reason, I have not included foreign seasons of vegetables that we grow here ourselves as , personally, I don't care to eat tomatoes, strawberries & asparagus in Winter or a suet pudding in summer. Of course lemons and exotic things such as bananas & pineapples I have purposefully overlooked. I hope this seasonal search engine is useful. For more precision please see the seasonal calendars.
