we have enough of that in washington with pollsters telling everybody what to say. >> "i don't want to have po pollsters or i don't want to waste money." joining me now is josh barrel and business insider and michelle bernard, president of bernard center. >> you have a whole planl anel all of the institutional stuff that's happening. as far as i can tell i would like to be. this is a structure by which the party and the national party is going to raise money together. this is trump speaking about his financial regulation platform. i love it. >> it is close to dismantling dodd-frank. >> here is how i see it. the guy runs for a year basically the finger to whole parts of orthodox republican party. >> now, it is like we sign the joint and now it is dodd-frank, man. you are up. >> the best way to say that you are not a puppet of wall street is to do what actual street wants. >> this is an interesting moment to test this question because there is as huge thing throughout this campaign and money and politics does not matter to what anyone says. >> back in 2012 campaign, when mit romney -- it

they had a long, one-on-one meeting in washington, d.c. the two of them met in a hotel room at the washington hilton. sanders and clinton scheduled it last week, when the two of them spoke on the phone during the night of the color primary. they got together, tonight, in d.c. we were told this meeting would be an hour, 8:30 to 9:30. we were told not to expect an ensdorsment. nay did talk about how the democratic primearies. why does it go so long? twice as long as we were tols, he was not seen leaving until half an hour ago. two hours after that meeting began. that meeting was scheduled to an be hour. sglp what do you know about what just happened? >> i got as close to the wall as i could, rachel. >> they were there, with two aides on either side. one telling me the meeting was positive. we got a read-out from the clinton campaign. this meeting went longer than anyone was expecting. the tone seems to be positive. clinton congratulated sanders on the campaign, appreciated his strong commitment to stopping trump in the general election. they

. >> tracie potts has more from washington. >> reporter: betty, good morning. trump's campaign manager says trump is a different person in private than he is in public and that you'll be seeing the more presidential donald trump out on the campaign trail soon. but publicly, trump is now urging his rivals to call it quits. >> cruz and kasich have no path to victory. it's over. it's over. >> reporter: but ted cruz and john kasich say they're going nowhere. >> everybody ought to focus on their own campaign. >> reporter: cruz is pushing back at donald trump on north carolina's bathroom law. trump says it's okay for transgender people to use the bathroom of their choice. >> that is correct. >> grown adult men, strangers should not be alone in a bathroom with little girls. >> reporter: cruz in indiana overnight. >> we are going to spend a lot of time here in indiana working to earn your votes. >> reporter: hoping to pick up support on the primaries. hillary clinton heads back to pennsylvania after another gun safety forum. >> we have too many guns in this country, in

clinton and trump have high negatives but the new "the washington post" poll even though they have equal high negatives when adults were asked who is more qualified, clinton scores higher than trump on the qualification issue. you can tell that's the point she was trying to emphasize. listen to her donald trump wants to be president, he has to be more careful about what he says. >> so when you say we're going to bar all muslims, you are sending a message to the muslim world and also sending a message to the terrorists because we now do have evidence, we have seen how donald trump is being used to essentially be a recruiter for more people to join the cause of terrorism. >> she says i'm experienced. i know how to be calm in these moments. he says you were secretary of state, benghazi happened, in his view she lied to the families, you were secretary of state, look around the world, things aren't a hell of a lot better. he makes the argument a lot argue things are worse, experience versus -- >> well the other thing that was more surprising from her was calling it likely terrorism. you almo

the washington cartel if you're senator cruz and that's the phrase you use. i saw a positive vision, i think hillary clinton, she needs to put forward that two-word message or three-word message that voters can grab on it. i think that's where it's lost upon voters. the first republican to achieve this, she deserves accommodation for that. first democrat female president. yes, she deserves absolute credit, but she needs to put forward a positive vision. voters don't know what it's about. >> that's right. and i predict the two words you'll hear, stronger together. she's been assaying that the last few days, and it's an implicit contrast than donald trump. we're stronger together. and the way we include more people. the way we become stronger is having more allies overseas. we're stronger together. that's a very distinct and different vision than donald trump's. and when you're in the business of addition, going from 10 or it 13 million voters, trying to get 65 or 70 million voters. i think this argument about inclusiveness and how we're stronger, richer, freer

you have the people speaking up to say they don't want washington to pick their candidates. they want a say. on the democratic side, bernie sanders has shown the people matter and the people can speak up and change the democratic establishment. hopefully that change is going forward and republicans elect someone sane. >> marco rubio won expectations. big win for ted cruz. can he keep that momentum in new hampshire? i'm not sure. hillary clinton may have won, but it would have been groundhog day all over for her in iowa although she won a tiny bit. donald trump is a loser today. >> maria. >> hillary clinton wins becoming the first woman to ever win an iowa caucus. bernie sanders did great. also a win. the democratic party wins. they are focusing on the issues that all americans care about. compared to republicans who will nominate somebody who is anti-woman or anti-latino. >> all right. ben. go. >> i'll say this. donald trump proves arrogance and cockiness does not win you the white house. ted cruz did better than anyone thought. marco rubio is a guy that has a little mo comi

back to you. >> chris matthews in washington. we'll be back to you early and often. >> on the subject of mr. trump and how important indiana is for him, i spoke with mark murray from political unit last night and he put it to me about winning indiana. he said if donald trump wins indiana tonight, he is most likely going to not just get the nomination but get it before the convention and put all this contested convention stuff to rest. the way he put it to me in sports terms is about the margin. if there's a narrow margin, it's layup. if he wins indiana on a narrow margin he can get it in a layup. if he wins with a big margin, it's a dunk. >> provided the ball goes through the rink. >> he hits with the stick in the hat. that's right. in terms of whether or not the basketball ring can be attained this evening, steve is looking at what donald trump's best chances are not just for winning but trying to maximize his advantage. >> let's take a look. here is how it will work. there's two steps to this process. they give out 57 delegates

we are going to fight hard to on win the primary in washington, d.c. and then we take our fight for social, economic, racial and environmental justice to philadelphia! bernie sanders there speaking tonight. we were talking before the break and we go forward now. >> we were talking about how trump has received all this pushback and backlash for his comments. you were mentioning you thought it had something to do with him questioning the integrity of our judicial system. i certainly agree with you -- >> raising the points about the impart ashl of a judge, i certainly agree with that, but many people criticize the supreme court depending on rulings or they see certain judge judges as activists. i don't see that as being the root cause of this backlash that trump has received now. i look at it and to a serp extent, i feel mystified. many people i've spoken to, they're saying, wait a minute, from day one, donald trump was making statements about la immigrants and latinos. why is it only now that people finally say -- >> no, no, that's not wrong. the latino

brewer i'm going to start with you two major national polls came out today showing a dead heat the washington post shows -- are you feeling optimistic about november? >> i'm feeling very optimistic about november. i think mr. trump will be our next president of the united states. he has wind beneath his wings. our party is coming together, we are uniting and move on to november and win. >> to you governor holeem. hillary clinton is 44% and in march it was trump with 41%. do you think this is a snapshot of a moment in time or a red flag. >> no, the math is very simple on this on the republican side they have one candidate, on the is democratic side there's one. once the democratic party decide an makes it official then they will all come together and be united. this is really a question of timing when this poll was taken. >> okay. governor, in this year's election there's never been anything like it. if clinton is the democratic nominee running against donald trump there have never been two candidates more disliked. for donald trump 41% favorable, 51 percent unfavorable hillary clinton. give m

a meeting between secretary clinton and bernie sanders in washington has just ended. joining us now is christen. what do we know about the length of that meeting and what happened there? >> reporter: it was a lengthy meeting, they met for a little over an hour and a half. they left without answering questions, a number of questions were shouted to them. he had a big smile on his face when he left the hilton. this was a high stakes meeting, lawrence. both campaigns had measured expectations, they didn't know that sanders was going to concede, this could set the course for how and when he gets out bigger asks, he wants to get rid of center deligates, and called for debbie wasserman to go. she said that is not going to happen. i spoke with some of sanders' top officials, he is going to stay in the race through the he does want hillary to take on donald trump. people's patience is going to stand to put out they feel it. hey are meeting on neutral territory. they pick a spot in the middle of d.c. they both show up there. remember, back in 2008. when senator clinton sat dow

washington, alaska and hawaii and he won them big. he won five of the six with senator clinton winning in arizona. over the course of the week senator sanders shaved more than 90 delegates off the lead shaving more than 70 of those delegates off just yesterday. hillary clinton says the math is still in her favor and it is and momentum as we head to wisconsin and what senator sanders is saying and even hillary clinton right now, well, she should be feeling the burn. >> this is what momentum is. we have been beating donald trump by double digits. the last cnn poll had hillary clinton doing quite well. she was beating trump by 12 points. we were beating him by 20 points. >> was it just a big day or is it a big day? he is bolder and more aggressive. thinks he has a chance. >> on the one hand it's more than a big day. it's a big week for bernie sanders because he also won two of three contest earlier in the week so he nets about 90 delegates for the whole week. that closes the gap quite a bit. on the other hand these contests could not hav

washington works great for those at the top. when giant companies wanted more tax loopholes, washington got it done. when huge energy companies wanted to tear up our environment, washington got it done. no grid lock there. but try to do something, anything for working people and you'll have a fight on your hands. democrats have taken on those fights, that's what we do. [ applause ] democrats fought to get health insurance for more americans. democrats fought for a strong consumer agency so big banks can't cheat people. we fought, we won and we improved the lives of millions of people. thank you, barack obama. [ applause ] yes, we won, but republicans and lobbyist battled us every step of the way. five years later, that consumer agency has returned $11 billion to families who were cheated, and republicans, republicans, they're still trying to kill it. now look, i'm not someone who thinks that republicans are always wrong and democrats are always right. there's enough blame to go around. but there is a huge difference between peop

as we toss to chris matthews in washington. i feel the need. i feel we are duty bound to talk about the one factor. the veterans remember, the role of personal health, national emergency, a week is a year in american politics. nothing is for sure. these are the cards we have been dealt as of tonight. november is a long way away. >> those that may come in it i have joey reed here. talk about the democratic race. it doesn't seem as sealed as the republican race. there is here we are. >> it is a fight. bernie is still fighting. >> he is still fighting. i think that math told us what is going to happen for some time, since march. you have a part that wants to play this out further. and bernie standers voters are persistent. and hillary clinton is deciding not to fight them. they are deciding not to fight them. they don't want to alienate the voters. >> all the polling shows that bernie is a winner, dramatically so. many think hillary is a better candidate. who is the stronger candidate? is there a metric? >> i think hillary is the stronger candidat

bernie sanders is projected to be the winner in washington state and in hawaii. >> and authorities have identified a american couple who are confirmed dead in the brussels attack. >>> at the hillsboro county jail in tampa, florida, sentenced inmates work in a variety of capacities throughout the facility. there's a waiting list for the much coveted jobs and those lucky enough to hold them receive one day off their sentence for every six days worked. javier perez's job in the laundry facility has made the two months he has been here go by a little easier. >> it's something to do. if they made me feed pigs, i would have done that. >> when his morning shift is over, perez heads back to the dorms. >> 29, perez. >> once he's back at his bed, he often turns to a new time filler, poetry. >> my life comes and goes, where life can change no one knows, how in life is love many need a hug, where they need it is from heaven up above. >> it's something for me just to escape for a little while, you know? >> just two days after his arrest, perez's first child, a son, was born. >> i haven't even got a

i'm chris matthews in washington. this afternoon that oddly matched pair of clinton and trump competed to show their medical reports. only in a campaign this bizarre, this campaign from oz, did one of the candidates show up on dr. oz to perform the medical equivalent of a strip tease. maybe i won't show you. maybe i will. yes, i will. >> if your health is as strong as it se

they're there in washington where donald trump will be speaking in a few moments. he's introducing donald trump, as we understand and when you listen to hillary clinton there, what else does she need to sew up in terms of getting the democratic party behind her? at this point, it's bernie sanders, bernie sanders, bernie sanders. she met with elizabeth warren this morning. got the president's endorsement earlier this week. >> absolutely. said it's about the progressives but also about young women. that's one of the things that's striking. how many millennial women really supported bernie sanders and as i listened to her speech, she was talking about all the difficulty that women of her generation had to go through in the ways of which planned parenthood helped them at a time when abortion was not illegal and the ways this which abortion was under threat today. i think she was really trying to speak to a younger generation as well and thread it all together, stitch it together. >> david, i think we figured out how hillary clinton is going to approach this general ele

. >> a week from tomorrow will be the final day votes are cast in washington, d.c. >> yes. but we still going all the way to the convention, chris. no matter what folks say. senator going all the way to the convention. >> we will see how it plays out and what the campaign looks like between the 14th on the day the last vote is cast and that in philadelphia. joining me now, kelly, i got to imagine just as jennifer articulated, the clinton campaign is probably institutionally meeting the news with mixed reaction. >> absolutely. and you outlined some of the reasons. when you have been competing this hard for this long, one of the things that secretary clinton talked about today in an event i was covering that, she wants to make sure that they finish big and drive voters to the polls so people have their say not only for the race for the nomination in the democratic party but critical down ballot races. here in california there is a senate race. you find other key races in other parts of the country with six big contests tomorrow. it might seem like we are at the end of the pro

heck, you are the washington establishment, and you can't deny it unless you are a wholly own owned. he's getting his money from the same spigot that everybody else gets their money. >> you would be good with tightening the whole structure frr. prohibit nothing, disclose skpvrg do it immediately. make all contributions go through the candidate, not the superpacs. if you're going to say anything about a candidate t has to go through the campaign and the candidate. that way everyone has to own up to what's said. maybe there's something about. mike huckabee, thank you very much. >> we are just getting started here on afternoon joe. you're going to be here for quite a while, so sit tight. get a cup of coffee. >>> coming up -- you love it, billy. >> coming up, we'll head to one of the 1700 precincts to caucus. stay right here. we'll be right back. this is joanne. her long day as a hair stylist starts with shoulder pain when... hey joanne, want to trade the all day relief of 2 aleve with 6 tylenol? give up my 2 aleve for 6 tylenol? no thanks. for me... it's aleve. >>> three hours just isn'

a meeting between secretary clinton and bernie sanders in washington has just ended. joining us now is christen. what do we know about the length of that meeting and what happened there. >> reporter: it was a lengthy meeting, they met for a little over a hour and a half. they left without answering questions, a number of questions were shouted to him. he had a big smile on his face when he left the hilton. this was a high stakes meeting, lawrence. both campaigns had measured expectations, they didn't know that sanders was going to conce concede, this could set the course for house and clpds -- he wants more staffing, and bigger asks, he wants to get rid of center demigates, and called for debbie wasserman to go. she said that is not going to happen. iz spoke with some of sanders' top officials, he is going to stay in the race through the convention, to fight he made it clear, he does want to take hillary to take on donald trump. >> i spoke that people's patience is going to stand to put out they feel it. >> the choreograph fee -- they are meeting on neutral territory.

can portray her as a typical politician, someone who you detest in a year when the electorate hates washington, certainly that's going to work to his advantage. the inspector general report is not done. the investigation is still ongoing. there will be presumably more developments. the issue is going to hound her until election day. >> this is part of why you see her right now pivoting away from the woman stuff. by all accounts, she should have been able to run as a grandmother this year, everybody trusts grandmothers, everybody loves grandmothers, she wants to do the best for her grandchild. but if you're a woman and everyone still thinks you're untrustworthy, that's not working for you, and you have to turn that in a different direction, you have to go after him about not only his trustworthiness about his readiness. >> absolutely right. she says he's a loose cannon, a bully, unpredictable. and to your point, maybe you don't trust me, but don't trust him more. >> so my question is really simple. if you have paid federal income tax, show us. some people say he doesn't want to show us because

washington post, is he also fabricating this? >> i'm not saying anyone is fabricating it. what i'm saying is it does not look like what she described. she described someone pulling her to the point where she's almost falling down. may i continue? there were police officers on the scene that she did not go and discuss this with. >> yes. of course. that is true. she is on the record saying all she thought would happen is there would be an apology saying, i'm sorry i grabbed you harder than i meant to but instead what the campaign does is malign her integrity, call her a liar. say there are tapes of the room and none of the tapes caught it despite there are tapes that caught it. people said unless you file a police report, no one will take this seriously. he filed a police report. it produced the video tape we're all watching that shows what she said happened, actually happened. >> it didn't produce that video tape. you think that's a police officer video tape. >> where do you think it came from? >> from the property owned by donald

this was on top of mount washington observatory in new hampshire. there was a weather observation center that's manned all year long. with days like this, they like to go out and play a little bit. 109 mile per hour winds. you know, you see scenes like that on a hurricane in the beach, not often on the top of the mountain. look at how icy it looks. >>> well, the vero beach stuff was incredible, almost a foot of rain. florida got soaked. now more rain and thunderstorms approaching the ft. meyers area. in florida it looks like another day of dodging the showers and thunderstorms you'll be plagued with. in texas, a couple of reports of baseball sized hail. and how about the gloomy weather from pittsburgh to washington, d.c. to philly area. a little bit of shower activity today. and the northern half of the country is beautiful, it will stay that way. but from san antonio to dallas, new orleans, atlanta, charlotte over the next three days another one to two inches of rain at least. then on saturday it will clip new york city and new england too. as good

. >> a lot of people quite frankly, conservatives who are for donald trump don't trust "the washington post." if you write that donald trump was sued for housing discrimination or if he said that blacks were inherently lazy or don't want black people counting their money, they're in the kind of media that maybe black people don't go to. >> this goes to the larger issue of trust, that there is no longer any trust in any of the institutions that used to make sure people understood this is real, this is factual, this is what you should pay attention to. so "the washington post," the "new york times," the wall street journal, we could do all the reporting in the world, my colleague at the "washington post" has been doing amazing reporting, just totally debunking donald trump's assertion that he is this great philanthropist and not with spooky polls a hearsay but calling individual organizations and asking the question, have you got i don't know any money? no, you haven't. have you gotten any money? yes, we have, $12. and laying it out there. the people that support donald trump look at tha

amazon is the ener of "the washington post" so i think perhap that was the hat he was wearing. but he didn't just reserve his criticism for that. he criticized donald trump and his efforts to freeze the media's examining of him. he said, look, america is a democracy, there's free speech. actually a presidential candidate should respect that. so not reserving his criticism for those that are at the -- attacking the media. quickup date on the markets, a bit of weakness in the u.s. yesterday. weakness here in europe as well. we have another one in the u.s. to watch for and after booking gains in may, tentative start to june. >> all right. thank you very much. >>> now, still ahead on "way too early" new information of the killing of harambe the gorilla as police launch an investigation into the toddler's parents. did public outrage cause officials to change their mind? that story, plus the latest on the historic flooding in texas when "way too early" comes right back. what are you doing right now? making a cake! ayla reminds me of like a master chef and emiana reminds me of like a

trump has been calling himself the ultimate roto-rooter of washington, d.c. now in an interview with npr said the whole drain the swamp stuff, we won't talk about that so much anymore. donald trump has moved beyond that. we've seen just a couple of examples. very profound ones where donald trump, however, has engage in the what is pay to play politics. as you talked about, the story of this nonprofit organization effectively selling access to the president and donald trump's son, serving as directors of the organization. you have ivanka being auctioned off for coffee. >> and you were involved in the reporting. what did you think of the pushback saying these were brain storms and we won't be involved? >> that seems somewhat implausible. you have a document circulating all throughout the donation and contributing circles in zpees beyond. that he laid it out. you give $500. you get this kind of access. if you gave million, it's even better. >> when you say his sons' defense is implausible, is that because you work at a place for the central of public integrity a

. >> trump is a guy, brand new, comes in, shakes up washington, changes policies on taxes and regulations and helped businesses and no income wage earnerill get a raise for the first time in 15 years. >> donald will stand up for america. >> donald trump understands negotiation. there's just no doubt about it. it's one of his great strengths and we have been taken to the cleaners in world trade. we're losing jobs every year, every day as a result of bad trade policies and bad trade agreements. >> some say our best days are past. donald believes our best days are yet to come. >> >> ronald reagan was a cheerleader for america. he would talk about what a great country this is. how important it is to work. that gives incentive to people and makes working hopeful. i think what donald trump can do, he can give us hope again, he can give us pride in being an american again. he can make us feel like what we should feel like. we're exceptionally lucky people living in this country. >> donald trump is a leader, not a politician. he will be honest with the american people. he will stop wasteful gover

i'm chris matthews in washington. it's been a rough month for donald trump. last week trump was entangled in a fight with federal judge. he said the judge's mexican heritage compromise trump for a fair hearing. tonight, new polls confirm the trump campaign is slumping. with a month to go until the republican convention, trump seems intent on doubling down on his strategy and giving clinton the upper hand. he took the strategy to another extreme suggesting if his proposals are not implemented, the united states will not survive as a country. >> we're having the blood sucked out of us. we're having horrible things to happen where we're allowing people into our country that don't deserve to be in our country and bad things will be happening. it's amazing that our country can continue to survive. eventually, it's not going to survive, just so you understand. eventually it's not going to. it's amazing our country can be abused so badly. it's not going to continue to survive like this. it can't. it's impossible. it's impossible. >> thank you. this is a strange mome

i'm chris matthews in washington. there have been two big competing messages coming from the president-elect, donald trump. the first is a message of unity and reconciliation. the second message came in a late-night tweet, of course. the next president criticized those thousands of protesters taking to the streets in opposition of his election, and the media, of course, when he accused of inciting the protests. he wrote, just had a very open and successful presidential election. now professional protesters incited by the media are protesting. very unfair. a few hours later, trump seems to do a complete 180. he tweeted, love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country. we will all come together and be proud. why is trump still tweeting about his critics? and suggesting the media is out to get him? is he like the boxer who continues punching his opponent after the bell rings? the election is over, mr. trump, and you won. in a sign of stability for many republicans, vice pre

we'll be back tomorrow with more "mtp daily" back down in washington. for now hardball starts right now. >> brave new world. let's play "hardball." >> good evening. i'm kris matthews up in new york. well, the election is over, of course, and donald trump will be the next president of the united states. proving nearly all the polls wrong, trump wracked up victories in states like pennsylvania, wisconsin, ohio, and florida. but trump is on track to become short of a popular vote victory by a fraction of a percentage point. meanwhile, from half the country, shock and despair at the reality that is now playing out. today president obama promised a gracious transfer of power to the man who once questioned his

don't understand why his theme but also spend as much time on donald trump given that by the time the washington, d.c. primary it will be clear that hillary clinton has a significant majority of the pledge delegates reflecting the majority of the votes. given that, senator sanders speaks he's still a candidate even though it's clear he will lose, i don't see any problem with that. >> obviously, mr. frank thinks that bernie sanders is not criticizing trump, he's not over the 1.2 million people who attended a bernie sanders rally. >> that's true. >> i see the ads. i don't see any of the ads being critical of trump. i would say he never criticized him. i think the fact is overwhelmingly -- >> i haven't interrupted you. >> one at a time. >> why the chip? >> i think that is unfortunate. >> the last thing i saw of him -- his focus on it. not on the critical case for all the values that we share. >> jeff, one last question. why do you think trump is holding out his tax rirns? everybody says he will be under tremendous pressure. he's under incredible pressure. he keeps saying i'm under audit. >> maybe h

. >> a lot of people quite frankly, conservatives who are for donald trump don't trust "the washington post." if you write that donald trump was sued for housing discrimination or if he said that blacks were inherently lazy or don't want black people counting their money, they're in the kind of media that maybe black people don't go to. >> this goes to the larger issue of trust, that there is no longer any trust in any of the institutions that used to make sure people understood this is real, this is factual, this is what you should pay attention to. so "the washington post," the "new york times," the wall street journal, we could do all the reporting in the world, my colleague at the "washington post" has been doing amazing reporting, just totally debunking donald trump's assertion that he is this great philanthropist and not with spooky polls a hearsay but calling individual organizations and asking the question, have you got i don't know any money? no, you haven't. have you gotten any money? yes, we have, $12. and laying it out there. the people that support donald trump look at tha
