♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ great rates for great rides. geico motorcycle see how much you could save. it is the national day of unplugging. i wonder how hillary clinton is celebrating. good afternoon. i'm krystal ball. and as we come on the air today, we're learning new details about the growing e-mail scandal. politico is reporting that a state department manual from way back in 2050 did warn -- 2005
12:01 pm
did warn about using e-mail. and red flags were raised when state department lawyers poured through 15,000 pages of documents. those relating to the benghazi and discovered not even one of hillary clinton's e-mails were sent from a government account. the committee subpoenaed all of her private e-mails about the investigation. she previously submitted some 55,000 e-mails an her cam -- and her camp denies any wrong doing. should they be worried? perhaps. but her camp has weathered stronger problems than this. and let's kick things off with jake from politico. good to have have you. >> good to be here. >> and what is the word on the hill. are democrats worries or do they think she will ride through this no problem? >> most think this is weird.
12:02 pm
that the republicans are trying to spin a narrative, that the clintons are above the law and play by their own set of rules. this is not like bob menendez that could be dharjed with -- charged with federal corruption charges but this adds to the narrative that this is not right. something doesn't smell right. >> don't know anybody who has a special e-mail server in their house and this isn't the issue that will sink hillary clinton but it is behavior people don't understand and it is not familiar to anybody. >> we'll have more on senator menendez in a moment and hopefully on monday a segment on how to have your own home brew e-mail system and i would like to know. and i think a lot of people will say, i didn't know you could do that. and certainly this is an unforced error but folks are going to say to what end. at the end of the first read they say this isn't going to hurt her with democrats or spark a hotly contested democratic
12:03 pm
primary and not less likely to make her less than a viable general election candidate. is this where folks are cater walling? >> good word. >> e-mails are supposed to be open for government inspection. so there is a problem here with secrecy that is a problem going forward. >> i'm sorry, jake. but if she said i'm e-mailing to other dot-gov addresses, i'm not doing anything secretly. >> and people who i know who work at the white house and federal agencies when they get into the job, they are told to use their government e-mail address because that is how this works. that is how open records laws work and that is how government is supposed to operate in a transparence fashion not just -- not that you could use your private e-mail address and it is okay because you are e-mailing other government e-mail addresses and this is not
12:04 pm
going to end as you know and is very familiar at this point. the house and senate are now both controlled by republicans and they have subpoena power? >> they are? breaking news. [ laughter ] >> and let me jump into the point you are making which is a great one to emphasize, jake yes, the freedom of information act works precisely on this point and any time you do an investigation, every lawyer knows and hillary clinton was a lawyer that you look at end to end contact. so it is not just that you have one side the dot-gov, and you take any catch a of report -- records and it is not up to her on what to turn over and she has been through investigations many of which we can argue historically were unfair conspiracy theories whitewater impeachment, and a whole target
12:05 pm
to her and while i'm sympathetic, jake, voters arel imible to know if those are from the government rules today. >> that is somebody who has not been through the scandals but been in government for the better part of 40 years. so this is not somebody who is new to the idea that -- government-related communications should be subject to open record laws. i think part of this and granted, hillary and i have not spoken on this issue. >> through e-mail. [ laughter ] >> answer the question. >> a lot of this is an out-growth of perhaps experiencing the scandals and having been through all of that. but what confuses me and the people i talk to about this issue, i don't understand why
12:06 pm
there aren't people around her who are saying to her, like this isn't okay. this isn't normal behavior. >> a bad idea. >> and it could call into question, the people around here i think they really need to be saying to her, you are the secretary of state. i don't think you should be having a home server that is your own e-mail dot-come. >> and when she was thinking about running down the road. and congratulations on getting hitched. you look like a new happy man. congratulations on that. >> you knew that wooz was -- that was going to come up. thank you. i felt that in my bones. >> and so we are talking about this in deep. every detail in this controversy. how are normal everyday people thinking about this when they read the headlines. i imagine they roll their eyes to the same old narrative that everybody has to play by the rules except for the clintons
12:07 pm
and it is the clinton world and we are all just living in it. that is the problem i see for hillary clinton, if she runs. for the next year and a half it will be controversy after controversy about them being above themselves and nobody is talking about the qualifications for president and is she able to do that job? >> i think you are right. if you go to iowa and new hampshire, people will roll their eyes and maybe say, this is the same old stuff, the same old clinton controversies, but on the other hand is this an issue that sticks to her? are people not going to vote for hillary clinton and not be excited about hillary clinton because she had her own personal e-mail server and address. i don't know the answer to that. it doesn't seem terribly likely this will sink her and be the issue that repels voters. >> and if there is no e-mail saying this is why you are trying to be secretive, does
12:08 pm
this poof away? >> i don't think so and as we discussed, this is a republican house, and jasonis jason trav its has subpoena power and others are chomping at the bit and want to dig into this. and it might be because it is hillary clinton and maybe not. and the republican house, having cover them for six years, this is not something they will let go. they will plow ahead and sink their teeth into this and that could take months. and that is the problem here. the clbt people want -- the clinton people want them turned over to the white house and it could take two months so it will go into the late spring and early summer and it could last for a while and on top of the benghazi committee this is a lot of action for the clintons that they i would assume don't want to deal with. >> and the other issue here is so far they should have known this was a potential issue. hillary clinton and her team
12:09 pm
have not responded in the best way possible up to date. jake sherman thank you so much and we appreciate your time. and more on the breaking news involving the corruption investigation surrounding bob menendez. w nbc chief investigator reporter jonathan deans joins us. >> charges could come in a matter of weeks, this month perhaps. the federal grand jury continues to meet and they are looking into the senator's acceptance of private jet trips from a florida eye doctor and when the senator improperly used his office to help the florida eye doctor win one port security deal worth tens of millions of dollars and to two, to avoid medicare related penalties to the tune of a couple of million dollars.
12:10 pm
so that investigation is ongoing and we are told a decision on charges could come this month in connection with this case. now a spokesperson for the senator did not immediately return requests for common on these developments. in the past the senator has denied any wrongdoing and he said that he paid back the private jet trips when he -- when he determined them were an oversight. some were to the dominican republic and the florida eye doctor denies any wrongdoing. why is this coming to a head? last week we began reporting the results of an accidental posting on the appeals court website uncovered by the new jersey law journal, and in that it details some of the actions currently going on in the secret grand jury. and some of the witnesses who are being called to testify. in that case some of them -- two of them the senator's own
12:11 pm
staffers and in that accidental filing by the third circuit -- first uncovered by the new jersey law journal, two of the aids refused to answer questions citing privilege -- congressional privilege that they do not have to answer and the appeals court ruled, no on a question by question basis, they probably do have to answer and that the investigation is moving forward. so this was clear indication through the court system itful that the -- itself that the federal grand jury was moving forward and that federal prosecutors are looking to bring this criminal case. all along, the fbi, we were told and the public integrity unit felt confident they have a criminal case and now there are new reports out today that attorney general holder himself has now signed off moving forward with that -- with the prosecution. i do not have that confirmed but
12:12 pm
several media outlets now reporting that holder himself has signed off on justice moving forward with criminal charges. again, it is up to the grand jury to vote and that is actively ongoing here in new jersey. so again, the federal criminal investigation into senator menendez, ongoing. charges could come this month in connection with the senator's efforts to use his office to help this florida eye doctor. prior to that the senator apparently accepted free plane trips to places like the dominican republic in exchange the senator said he has done nothing wrong and paid the money back. we should learn in a matter of weeks whether d.o.j. moves forward with this case. back to you. >> he know you'll be on top of that story. jonathan deets, there is much more we are following. and including harrison ford's crash landing in
12:13 pm
california. and about the near disaster here at la guardia. this as we mark the one-year anniversary of mh-370 disappearing in thin air. on that front, there is still not much to report. but first, marking 50 years since one bloody sunday shaped each and every day that followed. all of that and more as the cycle rolls on. it is friday, march 6th, 2015. ideas come into this world ugly and messy. they are the natural born enemy of the way things are. yes, ideas are scary and messy and fragile. but under the proper care, they become something beautiful. ♪

12:17 pm
bloody sunday 600 demonstrators marched in alabama, setting out from montgomery for right to vote but at the edmund pettus bridge they were attacked and 84 people were beaten by billy clubs and john lewis helped lead the march and suffered a skull fracture. the idea for the march started at the funeral of jimmy lee jackson killed by police while protecting his familiar at a voter registration march. and two days after bloody sunday martin luther king led 2,000 marchers back to the bridge and a federal court order halted the plan and they marched until they met a barricade and knelt to pray and then turned back. 3200 people started in selma, and four days later, they reached the capitol with a group
12:18 pm
of 25,000. five monks and -- five months and countless lobbying protests later, president lyndon johnson signed the voting rights act. tomorrow the president and his daughters head to the edmund pettus bridge to lead another march. he was there for a campaign visit in 2007. >> it is because they match that i got the kind of education that i got. that i got a law degree and a seat in the illinois senate and ultimately in the senate and it is because they marched that i stand before you here today. >> right now the president is wrapping up a town hill in a historic black college in south carolina that still remains in success of my brother's keeper. and a senior editor from the new york times clay hinden and a friend of the show.
12:19 pm
and this is the president embracing even further the mantle being a black president and embracing that i can use this pulpit to do something for black citizens. >> that is right. it comes as an interesting time for the whole country. how would we think about selma today if ferguson hadn't happened last year. and it is interesting to see how the president and how does he see himself at the end of his fit -- his administration fitting into that. >> and narratives cut into the programs to show what was going on in selma and accelerating what the civil rights programs were trying to do and i'm sure people saw these images coming into their homes and thought oh, my god, what are we doing to this country. >> and birmingham in '63 and the march on washington and these were televised and there is a narrative that the country is getting better and then you have
12:20 pm
this in selma and it was a real wake-up call the civil rights action wasn't enough and we need voting rights. >> and you can't think about this anniversary without thinking about ferguson and where we are today with the voting rights act and the supreme court struck down key portions of the voting rights act and we're waiting on a legislative fix from congress that seems unlikely to happen at least in the near term. when did these provisions in the voting rights act become controversial? >> it was a slow erosion. congress for a long time was lock stepped behind re-upping the voting rights act and it was a quiet build-up particularly on the judicial side or legal activism among conservatives to start to erode and make the case that we just don't need this kind of protection any more. and so that when it comes up to the court, a lot of people are surprised or were surprised but for a lot of people it was a
12:21 pm
long-time coming. >> how much of that problem related to the larger narrative when government intervention in anything is controversial. because it is a system where the federal government goes into certain parts of the country where there is a demonstrated problem of racial discrimination. it is not everywhere. but if you look at the obama care case this week and there is a larger conservative led an imous for the government doing something on a flexible basis, states can pass it if they want but there is backsliding in what is ideological. >> if you look at the civil rights act and the voting rights act and what it said to certain states an the restrictions upon certain states that would never fly today. not necessarily just for racial
12:22 pm
reasons but for ideological reasons. as you say, people were more willing to accept a broader state mandate in the 60s than they are today. >> 50 years later here we are again, protests in the street clearly still some big challenges ahead of us. what can be learned from the pough tests of this-- the protests of this time and we talk about sunday bloody sunday and they have had one goal in mind and that was to vote and they talked about how powerful that was to get the vote and what can be learned about those protests? >> i think the most important thing is to think about what king and the people strategized about what this was about, and it was about maximizing exposure on television and maximizing the impact it would have on the political process. and specifically on that congress and that president, on president johnson. and it worked. and it worked in '63 and '64.
12:23 pm
but with voting rights the fact they were able to get 25,000 people marching on the capitol in montgomery, that made a huge impact on congress. >> how do you turn away from that? >> yeah. and today one of the short-coming of the movement is it doesn't speak directly to what congress is doing and maybe it can't. >> it seems harder. the challenges of today seem -- the challenges at the time were more clear. and clay risen, thank you for your time. and up next the story that has everyone talking. it tourns out harrison ford doesn't just play a hero in the movies. we know in the cyber world, threats are always evolving. at first we were protecting networks. then, we were protecting the transfer of data. and today it's evolved to infrastructure... ♪ ♪ ...finance... and military missions. we're constantly

12:27 pm
southern california golf course. >> when you takeoff from an airport and you need to land an aircraft, you have to pick the best spots that there are. and this was apparently the best spot. >> amazing. the crash happened 20 minutes after ford took off from a santa monica airport. the star wars and indiana jones star experienced engine failure and requested immediate return from the failure. and he was treated by two doctors who happened to be on the course. surprise, surprise. and he is battered but okay. tom hanes is from the aircraft pilot owners association and he has flown are harrison ford and you say he is a cautious and capable flier. >> he most certainly is. the times i've been with him, he is extremely thorough in pre-flighting the aircraft and going out of his way to be
12:28 pm
meticulous. he knows he has a high profile and people expect a lot out of him and he takes it seriously. >> and this is not the first time harrison ford has crashed in a plane. will this be the time he is deterred from getting in the cockpit again? >> i don't think so. the other incidents over the years were fairly minor training related things and he's very passionate about his flying and love his airplanes and loved the pilot community and the aviation -- the small airports across the country that are an important part of the national transportation infrastructure and he loves to talk about them. and he's a big advocate for those. and he'll be back in the cockpit, i'm certain of that. >> is this something he would have been trained for and prepared for something like this happening? >> sure, pilots every time we take off, we're looking at the runway environment, before you take off you are considering the runway environment, what is near the airport, what are your
12:29 pm
options should you have an engine problem and need to put down somewhere other than the airport or how to get back to the airport. so pilots always looking out the window even in cruise flight looking for fields and places that you could land should you have to. he's flown out of santa monica for a long time and knows the area well so he knew when he had a problem that is pretty much the only option available to him was there on the golf course and really did a magnificent job of putting the airplane down safely and not injuring anybody on the ground so he did do his job. >> tom hanes, thank you for your time. and efforts to find out what caused the near disaster on the runway at la guardia here in new york. these are new images of the delta plane that nearly went into the water. very scary. as you can see, the damage is extensive. nbc's sarah dollop is live in queens not far from the la guardia runway. >> they say moving the airplane
12:30 pm
off of the runway was a tough job? >> reporter: it was a huge job. but it is completed. the plane safer in a hangar where an ntsb is documenting the damage. now a second time is going to focus on the pilots' and the passengers. there were 127 passengered eded -- passengers and five crew members and some of them speaking out saying they fell lucky and a couple of people taken to the hospital with minor efforts. and jamie premax sullivan was on the today show and shared her experience. >> there is the moment where you don't know what will hit. what will slow us down. what is it? the plane, the other rocks and it is that moment that i thought, what happens if you go into the water? do planes sink or float?
12:31 pm
will i ever see my kids again? >> la guardia is now working to resume normal airport operations now that they've been able to remove the airplane off the runway. they have reopened and now traffic coxing in and going -- coming in and going from the runway. flights are still 00ing -- running behind on about an hour. and la guardia is still working with the ntsb and they can't comment because the investigation is still going and they have refunded the tickets everybody on board the flight. >> thank you for that. and this marks one year since the malaysia air flight disappeared off of the radar screen and the pings and flight paths, not one piece of the plane has been recovered and the 239 people on board have not been heard from since.
12:32 pm
let's bring in anthony roman. the ntsb said there are still reasons to be optimistic. are you optimistic that we will find anything? >> i think they are trying very hard to find something. but we have one of the most confounding aviation mysteries of history and there are reasons for that. there has been no aviation accident that i've read of that they should off all of the reades and the satellite -- the radios and the satellite and the radio transponder to see where that might have gone down and conversely with air france they knew exactly where the aircraft went down. similar environment. but it took them almost a year to find that aircraft. they actually went over the spot with sonar several times before they actually located it. with mh-370 you have even more difficult circumstances.
12:33 pm
not only was all of the equipment shutoff, so we don't know where the aircraft went down. we've used new technology and new theories to try to find generally where it may be. but we have a search area of 24,000 square miles. four miles deep with a topography on the sea bed that rivals the rocky mountains, it is a very difficult environment. >> so you're optimistic? >> there is a chance. >> if it is found, it may take years to find. >> and given that given that the circumstances are so strange and so unusual, are there any of the conspiracy theories that are actually worth exploring? what about something like cyber sabotage. >> i don't think that is a conspiracy theory, i think there are evidence that a cyber sabotage can happen on an airliner.
12:34 pm
the faa and the united states issued a warning to airliners with regard to the 777s, fire wall and the flight computers being inadequate and they felt it could be breached theoretically from the entertainment system in the passenger seat. >> that is a scary possibility. >> yeah. >> yeah. and the 777 also has an unsecured hatch to the major avionics bay where all of the plane's computers are located an runs the cockpit and -- and runs the cockpit and everything on the plane and outside of the cockpit, and accessible by passengers who may know where it is and it is unlocked and anyone with avionics knowledge or computer knowledge, if they access it that is a real problem. >> someone should change that. thank you for your time. up next we return to the economy. if the new jobs numbers are so positive, why is wall street so sad?

now the good news is we're in much better shape now than we were six years ago. our businesses have now added more than 200,000 jobs a month for the past year. and we have not seen a streak like that in 37 years. since jimmy carter was president. >> count it up president obama rubbing through the -- running through the numbers with a pep in his step. and he's right. there is good news with the february jobs report. the numbers for you. 295,000 jobs created last month. unemployment rate ticking down to 5.5% and an improvement of.02% and from the line of the grateful dead every silver lining has a touch of gray. and wages up just 3 cents an
12:39 pm
hour and that means a lot of americans have quit looking for work. and this is bernstein and mauricy time on "the cycle." >> a lot of excitement. you can hear it in the room. >> and we'll start with you, what do the numbers mean for americans? >> the jobs numbers is impressive. the 295,000. over the past few months we've been adding about 295,000 jobs per month and if we add that up that is pushing the economy toward full employment and we are not there and the wage number tells you that. hourly wage up 2% year over year and that is where they've been gliding for the past five years
12:40 pm
and that won't be too good if inflation was where it was a year ago, also 2%. but inflation has fallen so far and so fast because the buying power of the weekly paycheck has been bumping up because of that. >> do you have a bump in your step today. because wages are an important part of this. and if you look over the past year. it has risen by a modest 2%. what does that tell you about the state of the labor market? >> it is not heeled. there are men between the ages of 25 and 34 who are not employed. they are sitting on the couch and watching espn. >> or the cycle. >> old reruns of the nfl. if we had those people employed we'd have stronger wage growth. but the other 10% are left
12:41 pm
behind and left out and people without college, minorities and things like that. and we have to do something about that. and we have to start to say why does this continue because that is becoming a deep-seeded structural problem in the economy that things like monetary, a budget deficit and tax cut here and spending will not solve the problem by itself. >> that is a problem. 13 million men or folks not working and not even looking for work. but since obama has been in office, the unemployment rate has gone from about 10% to 5.5%. is it a time for even you, peter morrisey, to give obama a little bit of credit? >> a little bit of credit i'm happy to give him. he's had a little bit of success when it comes to jobs growth but he hasn't been as successful as ronald reagan. >> well that would be impossible. >> hold on.
12:42 pm
i have numbers. data is important in economics. as jared, he'll tell you. numbers are important. ronald reagan, his jobs growth was double. i compared the number this is morning and if you adjust for the size of the economy, ronald reagan's jobs growth was 90% higher than barack obama. well growth was 4.7% for his recovery. >> you can't touch this. >> and obama's was 2.3%. [ overlapping speakers ] >> this is a joint venture with the republicans and democrats. >> and would the world be better if president obama was president reagan instead. >> super. >> it is an apples and oranges. under -- remember the president came into office with a deepest recession since the great depression and i remember because i was there and to trot out and say we lost 700,000 jobs
12:43 pm
and he can say we just got 300 jobs and good for him. and the federal reserve has played a key role. but we are all over pulling this forward. >> wait a minute. >> no just a second. and i mentioned the federal reserve and we talk about wage and reaching folks left out. very important points. it is key that the federal reserve not hike interest rates too soon. you mentioned the stokt market earlier. the reason they went into a tiny bit of a swoon today, they think this is a result where main street likes it and wall street doesn't. they think because the job market is getting better than people thought, the fed will come in and raise rates sooner than people thought and based on inflation and wage growth that we haven't reached enough people with this recovery that would be a big mistake. >> we are out of time.
