This spectacular bondage feature is now bargain priced! Bondage superstar Cali Logan begins her bondage interview bound hand and foot, and soon the gorgeous brunette is dressed up in a schoolgirl costume, ballgagged and tied in a lotus position. As the scene progresses she's attached to the table with more rope and her perky, all-natural breasts are exposed.
Bondage superstar Cali Logan continues her interview, and then all-natural beauty is dressed up in a sexy fishnet ensemble, panties and high heels, and she's tied down to the bed in an "Eiffel Tower" position. When she expresses some concern about her defenseless situation, she's silenced with a duct tape gag, and before long she's roped into a snug, elbows-together hogtie and helplessly struggling.
Gorgeous Cali Logan continues her tied-up interview, and then we see the bondage superstar outdoors, tapegagged, with her hands tied behind her and knees bound, trying to escape. But she's caught and post-tied by her captor, and soon her perfect breasts are revealed.
Fetish superstar Cali Logan concludes her tied-up interview with a few more little anecdotes, but when she's finished Cali is dismayed when she's not set free. Instead she's secured with more rope and cleavegagged. The sexy captive struggles against the bonds in her minidress, pantyhose and high heels, but she just can't get free.
As "Go Hostagettes! (Part 3)" begins, the newest member of the Hostagettes cheerleading team (Mia Vallis) is awakened by sexy burglar Brea Bennett for her initiation. The statuesque blonde is cuffed down to her bed, and Brea silences the novice with a stuffed cleave gag (shown on screen). Brea then cuts off Mia's T-shirt and panties and fondles her naked captive.
"Go Hostagettes! (Part 3)" continues with new squad member Mia Vallis' initiation to the cheerleading squad. Brea Bennet ballgags the statuesque blonde (shown on screen) and then Mia helplessly struggles in a suspension. But there may be more to this initiation than meets the eye...
"Go Hostagettes! (Part 3)" concludes with both Brea Bennet and Mia Vallis tied down to the bed and tapegagged by the evil coach. Each cheerleader has a vibrator roped to her thigh for a sinister little orgasm competition. Whomever wins gets to stay on the squad, but the loser will be in big trouble!
This bondage-packed collection of damsel in distress tales is now bargain priced! In the first 1940s era movie serial inspired scene, snoopy reporter Aidra Fox has been taken captive by the master criminal The Reaper. Our intrepid damsel is suspended by the masked menace, then she's detective-gagged and left in dire straits. Will she be rescued in time?
As the story continues, Agent Carissa Montgomery has gone undercover as "Roxy," a glamorous singer in the Reaper's nightclub. The busty blonde is discovered stealing her boss's secret decoder, and she's bound, gagged, exposed and used as bait in a dangerous trap set for the hero. How can she escape this terrible predicament?
Then Agent Anna Nolan (AKA Anna Lee) is working undercover at the Reaper's nightclub as "Bunny." Our brave damsel is caught trying to retrieve the master villain's stolen secret decoder, so she's cleavegagged, securely bound and left to helplessly struggle in a precarious predicament.
In the next 1940s movie serial inspired scene, undercover Nurse Celeste Star sneaks into the Reaper's laboratory to find out what his secret project is. She faints when she meets Heinz, his genetically modified gorilla. Then our plucky damsel is bound and gagged as a guinea pig for one of the Reaper's depraved experiments involving a powerful vibrator -- and bondage orgasms!
As the steampunk-inspired tale "Agent Montgomery's Secret Chronicles" begins, Carissa Montgomery is sent to investigate strange events at the old Coutts Theatre. She meets the mysterious Professor Blackstone Emerson Claw III, who takes her captive as soon as she realizes who he is. The gorgeous blonde is cleavegagged and tied into a seated strappado while the villain ransacks her belongings in search of secret documents that will aid his nefarious mission. What will he do with her next?
The story continues with Agent Carissa Montgomery as the helpless captive of the evil Professor Claw. He compels the busty blonde to wear an iconic slave princess costume and leaves her tapegagged, hogtied, chained down and helpless, with only a powerful vibrator to keep her company. Before long, the buxom barefoot beauty succumbs to its irresistible hum... but how can she ever escape it?
As the Western-inspired tale "Blackjack Claw Ties Again!" begins, government operative Aidra Fox is posing as a lady of easy virtue to entrap the notorious outlaw Blackjack Claw. But the villain discovers her deception, and Aidra is bandana-gagged and tied kneeling, hands-over-head and placed in great distress by the desperate criminal.
The story concludes with leggy beauty Celeste Star as the celebrated tracker and bounty hunter "Morning Star." But the dark outlaw gets the drop on her, and soon barefoot babe is cleavegagged, hogtied (including a toe-tie) and struggling in vain against the ropes when Blackjack leaves his gorgeous adversary to an uncertain fate.
Encore! This is the 2nd-camera edit of the rediscovered scene. When "The Black Hoodie Takes Over" was originally released, the feature's running time was too long to include this spectacular cliffhanger finish with "Damsel Of The Year" Ashley Lane. In order to leave the blonde beauty to be found in humiliating suspense, Ashley's captor ropes the blonde beauty in the air above her bed. The dark villain makes good his escape, and our helpless damsel struggles for all she's worth to escape her aerial dilemma. But all Ashley's efforts prove to be futile, and the sweet captive is destined to stay stuck until someone comes to her rescue.
Just rediscovered! When "The Black Hoodie Takes Over" was released, the feature's running time was too long to include this spectacular cliffhanger finish with gorgeous Ashley Lane. In order to leave the blonde beauty to be found in humiliating suspense, the masked villain ropes the blonde beauty in the air above her bed. The dark villain makes his escape, and our helpless damsel struggles for all she's worth to escape her aerial dilemma. But all Ashley's efforts are futile, and the sweet captive is destined to stay put until someone comes to her rescue.
In this behind the scenes footage of "Ballgagged & Suspended" we see Jon Woods and Lorelei complete the rigging on Lauren Kiley. She's ballgagged onscreen, and then we see 2nd camera footage of the entire suspension. Lauren assumes the damsel in distress role, but it's apparent she's enjoying herself as she struggles and moans in mid-air. The curly-haired cutie is then freed and she says a few words after she's brought back down to Earth.

Reichenau Primary schools is one of our newest GSS schools and it was great to see them after a very long lockdown. Whilst all masked up and adhering to strict social distancing protocol, the excitement of being back at school was pulpable. After setting up tippy taps and showing the children how to effectively wash your hands using the 20 second Happy Birthday song, we then met up with a few teachers to workshop them on the latest information regarding the covid virus. A visual demonstration delivered by Julia, showed how corona is spread through coughing and sneezing. Using a spray bottle Julia demonstration how when even when speaking face to face with another person, a fine mist of salvia spray can be dispersed, using a syringe she was to demonstrate how when coughing and sneezing, larger droplets ( possibly containing viral particals) could be dispersed at a much higher speed and longer range. This is vitally important to 1. Wear a mask OR sneeze/cough into the nap of your sleeve 2. Maintain a social distance of at least 1.5 meters. After a 2 hour workshop and lots of lively discussion, it wasencouraging to see how much the teacher appreciated our input, " Whilst the government is doing their best to workshop principal on infection control, there is still a huge gap in knowledge within the ranks of the teacher" say Principal Nomusa Mkize " Thank you for giving us knowledge and confidence"

The point is, I make some of my income from editing video files. They are an important part of our business's value adding strategies. So I don't have time to experiment. I need something that works and is easy for our staff to master. Windows and Mac software does and, like most businesses, we're happy to pay the price so that we can get on with the job. BTW, the package we're using costs less than $100.00 per seat, has easy to understand configuration and user settings, is easy to master, makes editing, cutting, dubbing a doddle. It also batches files for rendering (from the GUI). it is reliable and robust, comes with excellent support and the authors have been quick to respond to requests for new features. It is also written to actually run in a multitasking environment so we can do other things when video files are being rendered. Linux authors, take note.
Blender 2.8 makes video editing a LOT easier (start UI, easy to drag file, left click select...). It's still a bit harder to learn than other tools but for power users each shortcut you'll learn can be applied almost everywhere (e.g. pressing "i" on a numeric field to keyframe the value, or "g" to grab and move and element...). It's very powerful especially if you want to also include 3D in your videos. However many standard tasks will take more time in Blender: The preview is slow, to do a high quality zoom in animation you may need to use a Compositor or instead crop, rendering in 10 bits requires a lot of temporary disk storage, video stabilization is also a pain... Overall I'd suggest it more for someone interested in 3D doing also video editing. See More
OK, as what we use in our office, bearing in mind that we need to do rapid editing and splicing of 1080p video from two fixed point cameras, we use http://www.womble.com/ DVD Wizard. The cameras (yes two) get plugged in, the files are dropped on the time lines and within seconds we can start editing. Moving through the files, editing and splicing, is fluid and quick. Rendering the final product is, of course dependent on format as you'd expect but we tend to batch our work and let the jobs run overnight.
Kino always seems to be neglected when people are discussing Linux video editing. Perhaps it is considered too basic? I've found it superb for simple editing, adding titles, etc of youtube clips and home video. The interface is very intuitive and easy to grasp for the casual video editor. I am sure kdenlive would be a better program but it crashes every time I have ever tried it. I just downloaded latest version now Feb 2010 and crashed within 20 secs of using it. Tried latest pitivi just now also and locked up immediately. Kino is reliable, reasonably attractive, and does the basic job well.
Simply wonderful! One of the few cross platform video editors that has lightning fast editing preview without having to create proxy clips for every step owing to GPU preview. A huge advantage considering the amount of time saved in having to not wait for proxy clip generation thereby allowing for a more flexible workflow. Beautifully blended workflow combining a bit of premiere and a slight bit of after effects. Having the control to edit content visually by resizing or moving clips and other elements directly on the editor / viewer gives a tremendous amount of creative freedom. See More
You can develop your very own motifs. You can add your very own logo designs and brand name watermarks, consist of great background pictures as well as different textures along with individualizing the font styles and colors quickly (just a few clicks of the computer mouse) to make extra professional-looking video clips as well as match your company's/ site's design and also look.
Pitivi is a non-linear video editor for Linux with "a beautiful and intuitive user interface". Unlike a lot of other video editors on Linux, the Pitivi editor takes into account that users all have different skill-sets when it comes to working on video projects. As a result, it gives the user many different ways of manipulating the project timeline via different timeline views.

I'm looking for a free video editor similar to – Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple iMovie, Final Cut Pro or Microsoft Movie Maker under Linux Desktop operating system. My tasks are pretty simple such as cutting, filtering, and encoding tasks etc. Can you provide me a list of FOSS software which can be used for video capture and video editing purposes under Fedora or Ubuntu Linux desktop systems?
people people just remember that these programs are free and give u an idea and also experience on how to use them without paying, i myself have been a pc user for many year and apple has caught my eye. if i get what i want i`ll be using apple for final cut pro editing and filming but also will be running ubuntu on a dual boot for my other programs. the free programs will help me to understand how the editing process works and final cut will make me better. the best of both worlds! Cheers
The most promising or also often called best Linux free video editor of all, OpenShot has a long history of development and should be mature and stable. I downloaded the latest Openshot from its PPA since the one in the main Ubuntu repositories is, rather perplexingly, a very old and outdated version. Once OpenShot is opened, it appears very easy to use. The default layout is simple and intuitive, and there are even hints that pop up the first time you use it! I drag-and-dropped a few videos I had taken in preparation for this post, and boy, was I disappointed with this so-called best Linux video editing software.
This is an editor specialized on DV files. All other kinds of video are converted to DV, using a lot of time. I tried to import an m2ts of about 130 MB and it tooks more than 5 minutes. Just imagine how much time you would need with GB files… Not to mention the doubled (or more) disk space. After that, it jups to the end of the clip, exactly like Cinelerra. Unusable for me.
It has got a tremendous range of tools and techniques to provide the best experience of audio video editing. There are 2 move and 3 trim tools alongwith 4 techniques of appending, overwriting and inserting a clip on the timeline. Another great feature of this video editor is that if has more than 50 image filters and more than 30 audio filters to ensure the best video and audio editing output.
Using Linux does not mean that you can't have high-quality software on your system. Apart from the video mentioned above editors, there are tons of other software available in the market for Linux. Some of them are aimed at professionals (just like Lightworks, DaVinci Resolve, and Blender), while others cater to the requirements of beginners (similar to Shotcut and VidCutter). Moreover, you will also be able to easily download and install video editors on your Linux system, as most of them are already available on the app store.
A non-linear editing system (NLE) is a video editing (NLVE) or audio editing (NLAE) system which can provide editing method for video clips or frams. You will be able to access any frame in a video clip. Non-linear editing is done for film and television post-production. However, the cost of editing system gone down and non-linear editing tools (including software) are now within the reach of most home users.
4.2 Copyright: You agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring that Your video created using the Content Samurai software does not infringe any copyright or other applicable laws including but not limited to any images either uploaded directly by You into the Content Samurai software or any images facilitated through the Content Samurai software.
Even though Olive is in the early stages of development (version 0.1.0 Alpha at the time of writing this article), some users are already using it to produce content on a regular basis, and its developers are making rapid progress, which is evident from their activity on GitHub. Hopefully, they'll be able to keep up the current pace and give all Linux users the video editor they deserve.
Trey has a good point, I don't want to do much more than combine my video with a few transitions and a soundtrack. Kdenlive works fine for that. My biggest issue with Linux video editing is the lack of good transitions and simple drag and drop functionality. Also DVD menu creation is still really poor on Linux. But over the last four years it has gotten much better.
If you are looking for some linux video editors to make home movies, then you've come to the right place. Actually, there are some great free video editing software for Linux which can serve as Windows Movie Maker and iMovie alternatives. Here we list the top 10 Linux video editing software which can help you make customized home movies and easily share them with families and friends.
Looking to quickly edit a video on Linux? Consider using Shotcut. It's a non-linear, cross-platform, multi-track video editing tool that is great and easy to use. The video editor has support for adding titles, cutting and splicing clips together, as well as keyframe options, and more. It's certainly not as complex as something like Lightworks, or as user-friendly as OpenShot, but it's a solid editor that can get the job done. If you're looking for a competent video editing tool, Shotcut might be a great choice.
I'm having trouble with avisynth, just the process of editing with it. I know virtualdub is connected with it, but I can't find anyway to connect virtualdub with windows movie maker, well to open it(capture video). Anyhow, I know will try Linux. Will it give the same quality as I see on my computer when it is uploaded to youtube? Yes, beginner here…

As a result, it gives the user many different ways of manipulating the project timeline via different timeline views.
Whether you're a professional video editor looking to get some serious work done, or a regular person looking to make a quick slide show, we'll help you find the best tool for the job. All of the video editors we cover in this list can be found in most Linux distribution's software repositories. To install any of them, just open your package manager, search and install. Alternatively, visit the websites linked to install them.

Why this Co-Production Fund?
This initiative is about helping Syrian CSOs and media ensure that Syria is not forgotten. It focuses on collaboration and joint production because we believe in the inseparable power of media and civil society. Together, these two parties have the power to tell the stories of how war impacted millions of Syrians, but also to be a trustworthy ally of those affected by the war.
What is the Co-Production Fund?
The Co-Production Fund is an opportunity for Syrian CSOs and media (organisations and individuals with sufficient capacity) to expand their networks and collaborate on producing impactful media outputs that spotlight Syrians' challenges and advocate for solutions.
Participating CSOs will be given the opportunity to showcase their work and propose topics for media coverage. Media practitioners will be able to display their journalistic skills to a wider audience and benefit from the CSOs' research and advocacy. Free Press Unlimited will support this with a grant for successful applicants and coaching by world-class experts.
We encourage topics related to people and events that focus on social cohesion, through connecting Syrians divided by geography, political/ ethnic/ religious affiliation, socio-economic situation etc.
CSOs should partner with a media organisation of their choice and apply as the lead applicant. We ask that applicants who participated in last year's programme do not partner with the same media outlet. Commitment to forming new relationships and effective partnerships is essential to participation in this programme. This requires both parties to engage on all levels of implementation and production.
Thematic Approach
While Free Press Unlimited has set the overarching theme of the production, CSO applicants will propose topics of greatest relevance to Syrian audiences, and in which the organisations have relevant expertise. All topics proposed by CSOs must promote respect for human rights, equality, inclusion, diversity, and pluralism. Media practitioners must have the capacity to produce innovative content ideas, in various formats, and be committed to promoting social cohesion.
CSOs could put forward issues such as, but not limited to: Justice, accountability, displacement, livelihood, civic participation, food security, or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The chosen topics should reflect commitment to human rights and humanitarian values in a way that is relevant to Syrians inside Syria, or the diaspora.
(See Annexe for suggested topics).
Who Benefits?
The Co-Production Fund is open to any Syrian media outlets or freelance journalist (radio, tv, print, online) and Syrian CSOs that are prepared to form meaningful partnerships and collaborate on media production.
Syrian organisations registered nationally, regionally, or internationally, are welcomed to apply. Free Press Unlimited's jury will assess all applications, proposals and final outputs.
How Much Funding to Expect?
Selected joint projects will receive a maximum of EUR 5,000 to cover production costs.
Criteria and Conditions
- All applicants must be Syrian media or CSO organisations.
- All applicants must prove reasonable capacity, recent activity, impact, and on-the-ground presence.
Expression of Interest Process
Expressions of interest can be submitted in English or Arabic, using the online application form at the bottom of the page or by downloading this document and send to secretariatcpf [AT]freepressunlimited.org.
After an initial assessment of eligibility. Applications after the deadline will not be considered. Applicants may contact Free Press Unlimited with questions on secretariatcpf [AT]freepressunlimited.org
Procedure and assessment
- In the expression of interest, applicants should make clear their capacity, previous work, and current on-the-ground presence. CSOs must be able to prove expertise in their proposed topics. Only those satisfying these criteria will be selected.
- The lead partner (CSO) should specify their partner media outlet and be able to work in a sustainable partnership.
- Successful applicants will work on proposals, with support from FPU's coaches, who will also guide them throughout the production process.
- Final outputs must match the original proposal.
- No correspondence disputing the result will be permitted.
- Deadlines for expressions of interest is 6 August 2020.
- Joint proposals must be submitted by 24 August, organisations failing to meet this deadline cannot participate.
- Successful proposals will be awarded the first grant instalment by 31 August and work on the production then must start immediately.
- Final outputs must be submitted by 30 September for judges' assessment. Participants failing to meet this deadline, except in the case of exceptional circumstances will be disqualified. The winner will be announced by 19 October.
The grant is financed by Free Press Unlimited, with funding from Sida (Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency). The fund is managed by Free Press Unlimited through the CPF Secretariat. You may contact us via secretariatcpf [AT]freepressunlimited.org

tv The Rachel Maddow Show MSNBC November 27, 2013 6:00pm-7:01pm PST
6:00 pm
comedian, lizz winstead. thank you all for coming. happy thanksgiving to all of you. happy hanukkah, happy thanksgivukkah. good evening. thanks to you at home for joining us. i'm steve krenaki. rachel has the night off. it is the day before thanksgiving in america, because of this. the office of the presidency, the most powerful position in the world, brings with it many awesome and solemn responsibilities. this is not one of them. >> that is the president today pardoning a turkey with first daughter, sasha and malia. the turkey's name, in case you are wondering, is popcorn. he is from the state of minnesota. the president was obviously back at the white house today along with popcorn. he spent the better part of this
6:01 pm
week not in you go wa. he spent the better part of this week in california where he attended fund-raisers. he visited dreamworks animation where he joked that his ears were the inspiration for shrek. in california, the president gave a big immigration address where he was heckled by a dreamer who pleaded for an end of deportation. the president said there was only so much he could do himself. he is going to need congress to act to do more. one thing he did not devote a lot of time of talking about is the role of his health care. california is crucial to the success of obama care. president obama doesn't have to sell california on the affordable care act. california is already pretty much sold on the health care law. the state-run exchange, calling it covered california, is up and running and running well. paul krugman wrote about the implementation and said that enrollment is surging. at this point, more than 10,000 applications are being completed
6:02 pm
per day putting the state well on track to meet its overall targets for 2014 coverage. he pointed out it matters who is signing up. young, healthy people are needed to keep costs down. one quarter of all enrollies are the healthy young people between 18-34. you can track this if you want. health care law is a success. maybe there has been better advertising there. maybe californians are more into health care. maybe the home to silicon valley couldn't stand the national embarrassment of creating a website that doesn't work. one definite reason why the health care law is working in california right now is because of that state's governor. it is a democratic jerry brown. i want to take a minute and talk about him and about what he is
6:03 pm
doing. i don't think there is a single politician in america that fascinates me more than jerry brown. he is the oldest governor in the country and the oldest governor in california's history. if you go back four decades ago, he was the youngest, elected in 1974 at the age of 36. it took him just over a year to decide, it was time to run for president. he entered the 1976 democratic race and he entered it very late, in may of that year, months after the new hampshire primary. something like that would be unthinkable today. nominations back then at least theoretically could be decided at dead-locked conventions. brown was the young governor, jumps into the race in may of '76. guess what? he starts winning. he wins in maryland. he wins in nevada. he wins big in california. it is too late for him to make the battle in rhode island, in new jersey. he tells voters to check off uncomplimented on their ballots. uncomplimented wins those states. jerry brown was pretty much a national political sensation in
6:04 pm
1976. they use all that late momentum from all of those late victories to steal the democratic nomination from jimmy carter at the convention. it was a long shot. he actually came close to pulling it off. with carter facing a challenge with ted kennedy, there wasn't room for anybody else. his political career kind of crumbled. he lost popularity in california. he worked with mother teresa. he studied zen buddism. he came back years later a changed man, a man forgotten by the political world, an outsider, something of a radical. he ran for president this time in 1982. this jerry brown had no patience at all for the political system, no patience for politicians like bill clinton. the whole system was corrupt, jerry brown. that was his message. he had no problem saying it to
6:05 pm
people like bill clinton to their face. >> you ought to be a shamed of yourself for jumping on my wife. you are not worth being on the same platform as my wife. >> i tell you go is, mr. clinton, ralph nader called me and made me the article i was shocked by it. i was shocked by it because i don't think someone in government should be -- >> it is just a small taste of what that campaign was like. when that '92 campaign was over, jerry brown really was a political pariah. the media thought he was an unhinged madman. president bill clinton was not about to throw him any life lines. he was done, finish td. all of the potential from the spring of 1976, this is where he was going to end up. floo flash forward to 2010. he found a way to come back to a little bit of relevance. he turned 60 and became the mayor of oakland, california. he did that job for eight years and then got himself elected
6:06 pm
attorney general in 2006. then, the governor's office opened up in 2010 and he ran for that and won the democratic nomination. he found himself in a dogfight in the general election. he needed some help, a late boost. with his comeback on the line, he seemed turned to that same guy he had relength leslie savaged. he didn't retire to palm springs to play golf. he is out there doing stuff and helping people in haiti, fighting aides and dealing with the victims of tsunamis. he is a guy that is mobilizing the highest spirit, the angels of our better spirits. he is doing it. that's the spirit i would like to bring to california. >> that is what i love about politics. seems like that, with all that risch, complicated history, just beneath the surface. brown won that governor's race. he was back at the age of 72.
6:07 pm
he was back in the governor's office of the country's biggest state all over again. since that time, it has gone pretty well for jerry brown. his popularity is high. his re-election prospects are bright. for the first time in california history, democrats have a super majority in the state legislature. jerry brown has a mandate in california and he is using it. one of the things he is using it to do is to make sure the health care law works in his state to show the most populous state, a state of 38 million people, can make the affordable act work. it is one of the reasons that jerry brown is seen as a successful governor, why he is suddenly attracting national attention just like he did all those decades ago. i can't believe i get to say this. it is true. there are actually some people in politics that are doubting him as a perspective presidential candidate for 2016. that is what being a successful governor, what making obama care
6:08 pm
work has done for a man who had fallen to the bottom of american politics. in the washington that president obama returned to yesterday, the news for democrats seems grim. look at these headlines, democrats lose 2014 edge following obama care uproar. is a republican way of building, quote, the national political climate is starting to resemble 2010 when republicans won control of the house of representatives by riding a wave of voter anger. if it were today, democrats could get trounced. the election is not today. the election is a year from now. what happens if the health care law ends up working nationwide just way it is working in california, what happens if three or four or five months from now, health care coverage in the nation looks like health care coverage in the most populous state in the nation. the health care law has been a success and helped create
6:09 pm
another in the career of a unique politician. joining us now is norm orrenstein. he is the author of "it's even worse than it looks." norm, i really appreciate you taking the time tonight. i thank you also in advance for endulging me in my jerry brown foundation. the idea somebody who could run for president in 1976 could be theoretically touted 40 years later i thought would be amusing. is this sort of a refreshing message in this season of bad news all around in politics. sometimes good policy does make for good politics. that he can implement a law like this and get a real political reward for it. >> steve, first, let me say. i am not indulging you. every time i am on with you, you provide history and context, which is so rare in modern television. that's why we all love you. >> now, you are flattering me.
6:10 pm
i'll take that too. >> if you look at what's happening in california. jerry brown is a significant part of that. his wife, too, by the way, who is a former business executive with the gap and they really govern together. they, along with the state legislature that wants to see this work in an extremely complicated state, shows what the prospects are. we see the same thing with steve bashir in kentucky in a state that is hostile to the law but it is working extraordinarily well. then, we look on thanksgiving eve at the states where governors just because they don't want obama to have a victory are denying their citizens the ability to get health care in georgia, where we've got five navigators, they have tried to block people from being able to get the information, all the states where they are denying medicaid. i think what we can see is we are going to have models out there by 2014 hitting a lot of states that show the great potential for expanding insurance and lowering the cost
6:11 pm
for large numbers of people and opening things up but let's face it, we are also going to have states including those where they are actively undermining it where it isn't going to be working so well. >> on that point, then, because today was sort of a day where you have this confluence in washington about the political damage for democrats from the rollout problems they have had so far. in the headline from this cnn poll that came out, in the generic ballot, republicans have recovered. if you dig a little bit deeper and you ask the question, do you think that the problems right now with obama care will be fixed or is it just -- will it not be fixed? is it a failure. people are saying 54-45. they think it will be south. if you look among republicans, it is overwhelming. three-quarters say it won't be south. the entire republican calculation for the election year in 2014 depends on nothing changing from this moment today. this being the reality of obama care for the next 365 days. >> absolutely. greg sergeant of the post has
6:12 pm
been particularly good at pointing out the closed information loop for republicans. they are all convinced that the law is already in at that titat can't possibly work. deep within that poll is another reality. the younger voters, the yunlger people in the electorate are very much convinced that the law will end up working and what we see in california, which is particularly important, is that these younger people, the so-called invincibles are signing up in reasonable numbers. what matters is not so much the number of people in the end that sign up for the affordable care act, it is the proportions. if we do get in the end a lot of younger voters and insurance companies are going to make a strong effort to get them, because it is in their interest. they will focus on convincing their parents as much as these younger people, then we will be in a different place a year from now. all of these news stories that look at where the electorate is
6:13 pm
today. i idea that extrapolating that next year means anything, it just fills up some news space. >> this is a piece of the dead sea scrolls and a letter on presidential stationary that was so hard to read but it came with its own translation. the story of my surprising presidential pen pal. i will tell it to you coming up. ...are the hands that do good things for the whole community: the environment, seniors, kids, and animals. that's why we created the share the love event. by the end of this year, the total donated by subaru

6:18 pm
outside of it, one of the less tough towns. when i was growing up, lowell was the closest city to us. we were connected to it in a lot of ways. it was a city that had seen better days. when it got attention from anybody outside our area, it was usually for the wrong reasons. mostly, the part of massachusetts where i'm fro didn't get any attention. when i was 12 years old, it got a lot, a lot of very positive reasons. it is because of this guy, paul tsongas. he had gone into local politics and in 1992, he was running for president. this is just when i was starting to get interested in politics. i didn't know much about the difference between the two parties. i knew it was really cool that someone that lived a few miles from our house was running for the white housing, the most important job in the world. every afternoon, the lowell sun would land on our doorstep.
6:19 pm
i would devour the information on the trail. i really wanted him to win. he won new hampshire and maryland and bill clinton overwhelmed him. there were a lot of reasons that he beat tsongas that year. one thing i knew, clinton had gotten rough and pushed the line. i was mad at bill clinton. i'll admit, i held a bit of a grudge. fast forward to 2007. i am writing a column i am not doing tv. i am a nobody. i am in thousands of dollars for debt. with hillary clinton setting out to run for president, i find myself thinking about to the 1992 campaign, how the clintons had beetden beaten tsongas. like all of my columns, it ran and nothing happened. one woman from the upper west
6:20 pm
side wrote to me. she always wrote to me usually to tell me how much she didn't like me. besides that, i didn't hear from anybody. then, a month or so later, this comes in the mail. it is from harlem, bill clinton's office. look at the upper right. when you are an ex-president, your signature counts as a stamp. maybe it is an offer to meet him for a round of golf, which i don't play. it turns out, it was a personal letter, hand written, almost four pages long and almost completely indecipherable. his penman shship was a little sloppy. it came with a typed translation. dear mr. kornacki. it was so selective, pointing out a few things you overlooked. i read the whole thing feeling a
6:21 pm
weird mix of emotions. i was flattered. some of what he was saying made sense. some of it kind of irritated me. mostly, i was confused. did the former president of the united states really take time to write to me, a complete nobody, to write a four-page hand written lit gator litigating details of the 1992 presidential campaign. i had really gotten under his skin, i realized. as i started to think about it, i kind of got it. the clinton/tsongas race had become really personal. tsongas died in 1997. when he did, he had really never forgiven clinton for how that '92 campaign went down. i was saying to clinton things he probably never stopped hearing from tsongas friend. i couldn't deny a lot of the media in 1992 had painted tsongas as the good guy and clinton as the villain. i had no problem with it at the time because i believed it. i wish the conflict hadn't
6:22 pm
become so personal. as your article demonstrate, the premise of your campaign was, in part, its purity and that anyone that disagreed with you was a panderbear. bill clinton thought i was around 40 years old and had worked for the tsongas campaign. i decided to write him back and tell him the story i told you. i had no money, no printer, no fancy stationary or anything like that. my letter to clinton had to look professionalle. i went to kinkos and paid to put it on fancy paper. i ended up botching it and the paper was all uneven and slanted and diagonal and everything but i didn't have money to buy new fancy paper. i sent the letter anyway. a few weeks later, i got a note back. it said, dear staeve, thanks fo your letter. i was moved by how deeply paul tsongas touched your life. i hope we get to meet someday.
6:23 pm
sincerely, bill clinton. i'm not sure how much he meant the last part. i have requested a few interviews with him in the years since then. the answer keeps coming back no. i am trying not to take that personally. the reason i am sharing this with you, because of this. the latest outrage prop for the right. suppose i hadly a hand written note from barack obama to a texas man who wrote to him to argue against the health care law and to say that any citizen that disagrees with your administration is target and ridiculed. obama's response is respectful. he tells ritter he welcomes dissent and understands the health care law isn't that popular but believes it is the right thing to do. he is all upset about this because obama uses the word teabagger. he is using it to address ritter's claim in his own letter that, quote, you make fun of teabagers. we don't have official word this is an authentic word from the president but ritter is now trying to sell it for $24,000 online. the letter is just words on a
6:24 pm
paper. it doesn't mean anything to me because obama doesn't mean any of it. to me, it is a very healthy sign when a former president like bill clinton or a sitting president like barack obama sends a note like this, it is prove they aren't quite as insulated as we all fear they are. criticism does get through to them. they hear it, feel it and carry it around with them. sometimes, they just can't help letting someone know. ] ...as though he had never left. the end. lovely read susan. but isn't it time to turn the page on your cup of joe? gevalia, or a cup of johan, is like losing yourself in a great book. may i read something? yes, please. of course. a rich, never bitter taste cup after cup. net weight 340 grams.

it is a politicians dream, you've got to admit, standing at the top of this pedestal here and i have got a little step underneath to get even higher. obviously, i want to express appreciation for sesle b.demille. >> that's how you want to kick off the thanksgiving holiday, vintage romney. it was the signing of his landmark health care reform bill. 2006 was romney's last year as governor of massachusetts. he wasn't running for re-election. pretty much everything he was doing was positioning himself for a presidential run in 2008. that was going to be that signing that captured his presidential side. they had ted kennedy, the big champion of health care reform up on the stage, representatives of the massachusetts legislature
6:32 pm
health care people and some d.c. think folks. you see the guy on the left, robert moffett, ph.d. director of the center for health care policies at the top think tank in the country, the heritage foundation. governor romney's people insisted that it be reserved for that guy from the heritage foundation. he made a point to give heritage a shoutout in their speech thanking them for being the arcty conne architect of center piece of reform. it was their idea he was signing into law. in 1989, the heritage foundation had put out this policy paper. it was called assuring affordable health care for all americans. that paperback showed a new mandate, that all should
6:33 pm
purchase private insurance. in 2006, the basic heritage health care framework was established as law by a republican governor that was going to go out and run for president. romney didn't win in 2008. barack obama did. one of his first orders of business was health reform. his model was, i think you know this right now, the plan that was working in massachusetts, the romney plan, the heritage foundation plan. those subtleties may have been lost on the right. >> they were launched. the very conservative movement that had helped lay the foundation for the affordable care act has been nearly four years of all-out war on obama care. when congress was debating health care in 2009, republican senator, jim demint, predicted it would be obama's waterloo. we are going to break him on this. he hasn't stopped doing that
6:34 pm
ever since. it is a request that he has finished at the heritage foundation. the heritage foundation that demint took over was and is very different than the one that produced that health care policy paper all those years ago. it is one where the think tank wing has taken a back seat to the political action wing, something called heritage action. it's heritage action with its legislative score cards serving as measurements of conservative purity that set a radical goal this year. the end of obama care through the shutting down of the federal government in the threat of a debt-ceiling default. it was the threat of landing on the wrong side of heritage and getting a bad number on the scorecard that kept all those republicans in line for so long as the government closed down, as their poll numbers dropped, as they asked themselves, why are we doing this all again, 24 years before the shutdown. it was the heritage foundation that conceived of a conservative, market friendly alternative to the canadian style health care, a concept now
6:35 pm
edged into law under the name obama care. the revolt the heritage foundation led was a revolt against its sechlt a generation after that 1989 health care paper, a group that had been the preimminent force of conservative policies has been less of a shot in the arm for the right than a shot in the foot. they give insight into the organizations decline quoting one republican staffer, bitterly noting that if nancy pelosi could wreet an anonymous check to heritage action, she would. joining us now, julia yafi. the story of heritage is interesting because in my mind they went from coming up with the idea for the affordable care act to shutting down the government over its enactment and implementation. when a lot of people think about that story, they think about jim demint but your story says it is this duo, two guys that are
6:36 pm
younger than jim demint that have taken it and turned it away from being a think tank into a pure partisan war machine. tell us who they are and how they've done this. >> my piece focuses on michael ne. dham, 31, the ceo of heritage action. that i title is significant. he has a lieutenant, tim chapman, who is the coo. they were helped to be put in place by the chairman of the heritage foundation. a guy named saunders, a wall street banker in the '80s. when he was elected to the board in 2009, he pushed for a more aggressive approach, for heritage to take a more aggressive approach on the hill and to create a lobbying arm. by this point, michael needham had served as chief of staff to heritage foundation's creator and president, edwin full ner.
6:37 pm
he had gone off to work with the julie ann any campaign. he went to stanford business school. he has a very sterling pedigree. he went to collegiate and williams. he was also a proponent of this. he was brought back to run this lobbying arm in 2010 whether it was created. because a lot of the org organizational details were left vague, how the money was spent, who would call the shots, tim kaufman was calling the shots. they had alienated a lot of people on the hill with their aggressive, sharp elbow tactics. the elders at heritage foundation kind of woke up one day and realized that the organization has radically changed. >> that's what your piece brings out, the tension between the elders and this sort of new guard. what's interesting to me is, i
6:38 pm
think this sort of illustrates a challenge that more broadly faces the right. when you look at heritage, you can say politically, obviously, the shutdown was a disaster for the conservative movement and the republican party. traditionally, the role of heritage is this sort of role of policy ideas for the conservative movement. that might be changing. at the same time, leading this charge to defund obama care has meant a windfall in terms of grass root donations for heritage and other groups like it. how do people reconcile those two things. with the grassroots, they can turn and make an appeal and bring in big money even if they are not doing what they used to do. >> i this i the jury is still out on that. if you talk to people at heritage or people who were pretty senior there who have recently left, they would tell you the same thing. heritage action -- heritage foundation is a very old, we well-respected brand on the right, an $82 million annual budget. they burn through $82 million every year and have plenty left
6:39 pm
for the next year and the year after that. heritage action raised $5 million last year. their biggest donation was from the koch brothers for $500. everything else comes from smaller grassroots donations. we have yet to see what they did with the shutdown and bringing the u.s. to the brink of default with nothing to show for it, how that will affect the bigger donors. a lot of people on the right and business groups are angry at them. as the heritage elders are happy to point out, you can't run an $82 million organization on $25 donations. >> i think that is one of the interesting things to watch on the right now, that tension between the big money, more sort of corporate donor class and the grassroots side. julie ioffe, senior editor at the new republic. thank you for joining us tonight. what happens when political partisans try to hop on the

6:44 pm
51% to mitt romney with 47% plus a little. no other state came this close to the exact national margin. we can safely say that virginia is a bell weather state, which is why democrats were so excited earlier this month in 2009, virginia had elected a trio of republicans to the three state-wide offices. this year there was a backlash. the governor had been caught up in a scandal. state attorney general, ken cuccinelli scared off the swing voters republicans have to win in virginia. so virginia instead elected a democratic governor, terry mcauliffe. elected democrats to the other two statewide posts as well. at least it looks that way. today, the race to attorney general went to a recount. if the results from election do hold, democrats will have a hold on the offices for the first time since 1969. you might hear national
6:45 pm
republicans swearing off the events in virginia as not that big of a deal. virginia is a classic bell weather state. it gave the gop a warning of what happens when you field far right candidates in a truly competitive state. here is another bell weather state. colorado, after virginia, it was colorado voters who most closely reflected 2012 voters overall nationwide. you have bell weather virginia and bell weather colorado. in virginia, the state-wide offices have been held by republicans. the voters seem to have rejected their way of governing. in bell weather colorado, it is the democrats that have been in control. the governor has had the benefit of a legislature controlled by his own party to sign major gun roll and civil unions and new laws about renewable energy. in september, they called two democrat senators. it left them clinging to a
6:46 pm
one-vote majority in the state senate. then they went after a third colorado senator. they were about to submit the signatures to put her up for a recall whether she resigned. by leaving now rather than risking the loss of her seat, she gives democrats the chance to appoint a replacement and run for next year. colorado democrats have kept their hold on power in the bell weather state. it took getting one of their own to fall on her sword hoping it doesn't lead to a bigger backlash. democrat, mark udall, won by ten points last time. now, he is up over his closest challenge by just three. governor hickenlooper won in 2010. now, he is up by just five points. virginia is very promising for
6:47 pm
democrats. how do they make sense of what is happening in colorado. joining us is cary bacon, the national political contributor for the grio. the events in colorado were extraordinary to watch, a state senator resigning and giving up just so her party can control the chamber for another year. i wonder what lesson you think democrats should be drawing nationally from what's happening in colorado right now. you looked at virginia last month. when republicans put the far right up, we are fine. you have democrats in control and they are pursuing a democratic agenda. they are facing an awful lot of backlash for it. how do you make sense of that nationally if you are a democrat? >> what you've seen in virginia and colorado is then dates that do best are the ones that play down the cultural issues. guns in colorado. talk about abortion and contraception, which cucccinelli talked about a lot in virginia.
6:48 pm
john higgenlooper, the governor now of colorado, ran a very n a nonagile campaign. what you saw in higgenlooper's numbers, democrats still like him. independents still like him. republicans, went from 26 to 46 in the last few months. you are seeing a backlash among republicans that didn't care about him before and now are pretty opposed to him. the same thing you saw in virginia where cucccinelli was a much more controversial candidate than mcauliffe who pretty much ran in the center and won in virginia. we are coming up on the one-year anniversary of newtown and the shooting in aurora, the events that got him on board with gun control in colorado. it becomes sort of a depressing message for democrats when you look at what's happened in the last year for gun control
6:49 pm
supporters. it could not happen at the national level. it could not happen in the u.s. senate and the democrats in colorado are paying such a price for this. i understand that the point you are making is certainly politically. is there a way, a lesson we can draw anywhere in the last year for how democrats and gun supporters in a state like colorado can pursue that and not pay this kind of a price? >> it looks like from looking at the polls that background collection are still supported by a majority of people in colorado versus the limits on magazine clips or for whatever reason have been more unpopular. that may be a sign where background checks is a more palatable issue. i will say there are two different lessons on issues. i think democrats will be more wary of gun control because colorado is such a centrist state. medicaid expansion, terry mcauliffe ran on very hard in
6:50 pm
virginia and won on that issue in part. you are going to see more democrats being bolden on the medicaid issue in particular next year versus gun control. i gun control in colorado. and you saw most states passed it that were effective, maryland, new york for instance. states where liberals don't have to worry about backlash. i think there will be some chilling in colorado, states like colorado. >> when you get out of the safely blue states. the story of our politics. any way, political editor, and msnbc contributor. thank you for your time tonight. we will be right back after this. my mother and my grandmother are very old fashioned.

6:55 pm
speech to congress that night. the lbj who awoke in 1963 was vastly different than the one frantically sworn in as president less than 12 hours later. eight weeks before the assassination, this was the defeated, slow moving, lyndon johnson, dressed informally in cakies, me khakis. the interviewer was ray miller. johnson replied to his question with the body language of a man just going through the motions. >> a lot of people thought when you -- when you gave up the majority leadership in the senate to become vice president that you would find it a comedown. how do you find it? >> well, i can't imagine why anyone would think that. i don't think that, vice presidents ha ccan come down fr anything. >> no one thought he was the second man in washington. when they quoted number two man in washington they were talking about robert kennedy, l.b.j.'s
6:56 pm
most bitter rival in the administration, in all of washington and politics. but to call them rivals at the moment that would have been a gr gross distortion. he told sam rayburn, being vice president is look being a cut dog. that's who lbj was in the months, weeks, minutes, seconds before the shots rang out. lyndon johnson in predallas was in serious political trouble. a scandal, secretary of the senate's office was unfolding, one that involved, lbj's protege, bobby baker, graft, sex, influence peddling. and sparked new interest that johnson amassed a fortune of millions after 30 years of government salary. in november 1963, the powder keg was about to blow. november 22nd, the presidential motorcade rolling through dallas, editors of "life"
6:57 pm
magazine were meeting to delegate assignments and their investigation into a project, lyndon johnson's money. the senate began sniffing around the baek erbaker controversy. shelf life was expiring. talk was beginning johnson would be bounced from the 1964 ticket by kennedy. that life story ran once all that dirty laundry was aired in the senate hearing. a no brainer then. during that senate hearing into the baker affair, with the documen documents, invoices and checks linking the vice president to illicit behavior. during the hearing, some one burst in to say the president had been shot. the shot changed lyndon johnson's life and so many others and triggered an instant trans transformation. he wanted to be president and knew what he was supposed to do. he was calm. decisive, took action. he told every kennedy aide needed them more. he brought in congressional leaders, governors. addressed the join session of
6:58 pm
congress, 50 years ago tonight. >> no memorial, oration, eulogy could more eloquently honor president kennedy's memory than the armiest py e earliest possif the civil rights bill for which he fought so long. in the last week and a half, we remembered the anniversary of jfk's death for all that was lost and so much was. it ushered in the most momentous consequences in history. to etch a civil rights act into law. to see through the tax cut bill installed under kennedy. to push for his own wildly ambitious war on poverty and to get his way. jfks death gave way off to the landslide of 1964, one of the most thorough presidential victories ever amassed.
6:59 pm
it gave us the 89th congress, most productive, influential in history. a congress that set a standard for sweeping change that no future congress lived up to. john f. kennedy's tragic death gave rise to what we might today remember as one of the greatest presidencies in history. were it not for a military entanglementen southeast asia. an entanglement that would come to eclipse and erase so much of what lbj achieved. all that was still to come. in 1964, at the national christmas tree lighting, johnson said these are the most hopef f times in all the years. the events that would lead a president say a thing like that. make a country believe him. would make a congress act as if it were the case. those events began 50 years ago tonight. that speech to congress marked the start of what was one of the most consequential presidencies in modern american history from a man whose rise to power as of literally five days earlier was
