imposed? ♪ >> good day, everyone i'm andrea mitchell "rolling stone" as officially retracted its story after a scathing independent review from the columbia school of journalism. they are holding a news conference at this hour about its review we'll go to that in a moment. it called the report a journalistic failure that was avoidable. "rolling stone" has apologized for damage it did and the reporter issued a statement saying in part in the case of jackie, the name they gave this woman and her account of her traumatic rape i did no go far enough to verify her story. i allowed my concern for jackie's well being, my fear of retraumatizing her and confidence in her credibility to take the place of more

questioning and more facts. despite all of this no one in "the rolling stone" editorial staff is losing their job. the lawyer for jackie had no comment on the report. gabe gutierrez joins me live from the campus the uva. gabe, this is an appalling story on so many levels for other rape victims whose credibility may now be unfairly questioned and certainly for journalism. >> that's exactly right, andrea. this story has really rocked this campus and sparked protest across the country and brought the issue of campus sexual assault and continued it in the national spotlight. it's definitely devastating on so very many levels. the federal is investigating 106 schools, universities at this point for their handling of title 9 complaints with regards to how they handled sexual assault. this did he have in any eventefinitely has implications on many levels. it found many problems with the

rolling stone report which was published last fall and included allegations from a woman identified as jackie. she claimed she was sexually assaulted by seven men here at uva but the report found major discrepancies and among them called it a journalistic failure, chief among them that the reporter did not reach out to jackie's friends to check out her story that the reporter did not provide the allegations in detail to the fraternity before those allegations went to print and that "rolling stone" did not do enough to track down the man who allegedly or kes stratded this attack. >> we have a statement you provided us also from the uva president, this has been devastating for the campus and she said "rolling stone" story did nothing to combat sexual violence and damaged serious efforts to address the issue. irresponsible journalism unjustly damaged the representutations

of many individuals and university of virginia. that is a big factor here. >> reporter: that's exactly right. the publisher of "rolling stone" drew some backlash because he did tell "the new york times" late last night that this represented an isolated and usual episode and that the reporter will continue to write for rolling stone. a lot of people are asking should the editorial staff -- shouldn't someone have lost their job over this? there are a lot of questions remaining about how -- how why spread was this. in the report, it says rolling stone seems to -- not so much place any blame when it comes to what jackie said but that they didn't go as far. the report says that "rolling stone", it was up to them to fact check this story. and the concern is here might some parts of jackie's story be true. the charlottesville police in the past couple of weeks did point out they can't rule out that something terrible did happen to jackie they just found no evidence that what

happened, what was described in the "rolling stone" article happened. advocates for rape survivors across the country are worrying that this whole incident might have a chilling effect on the survivors coming forward in the future and for people believing these stories, andrea. >> i know you interviewed some young men and women on campus. we played a little bit of that interview and i thnk you had an exclusive interview with some of the friends, some of jackie's friends not been interviewed by the reporter involved. what was the reaction on campus? >> reporter: well the reaction on campus people here, they were obviously devastated when it came out last fall. we spoke to two of the three friends cited specifically in the "rolling stone" article and this report by columbia university and they said that they were shocked when they first read this article, that they read a quotation attributed to ryan one of the people mentioned in the article. he told me that he was just stunned that that quote was

attributed to him in the article. according to the report what we later learned is that according to columbia university they say that the reporter sabrina, should have attributed that or at least made it clear that she did not get that quotation directly from ryan. instead, she got it from jackie. and as you mentioned in that statement that the reporter put out, she let her fear of retraumatizing jackie get in the way of her digging deeper on this story and perhaps verifying it. so yeah it's really devastated this campus and this report by columbia university really shed some light on what happened here. >> it's a cautionary tale indeed when journalism moves into advocacy rather into straight reporting of facts. thank you so much. president obama is trying to counteract intense lobbying from israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu over the iran deal. in lengthy interview, tom

freedman, the president argued support for israel is a bedrock of his foreign policy. >> i would consider it a failure on my part a fundamental failure of my presidency if on my watch or as a consequence of work i've done israel was rendered more vulnerable -- >> not just a strategic failure. >> and that's not just a strategic failure but it would be a moral failure. >> netanyahu on "meet the press" is not waivering in his opposition to the agreement negotiated in lusanne. >> you see it's a historic decision historic deal it could be historically bad deal because it leaves the preeminent terrorist state of our time with a vast infrastructure. >> prompted this critique from a key democratic senator. >> i think he said what he's had to say. and to be candid with you, this

can back fire on him. and i wish that he would contain himself because he has put out no real alternative. >> maryland senator ben cardin joins us for his first interview since replacing bob menendez as the top democrat on the foreign relations committee while menendez fights corruption charges. congratulations on becoming the ranking democrat but you've got a whole world of trouble at your doorstep. thank you for being with us. do you agree with senator corker the chairman of the committee, of course that the committee should have oversight over this and that the president should not be able to negotiate this without a congressional role? >> andrea it's good to be with you. thanks very much. this certainly is an important responsibility right now. the senate foreign relations committee. i do believe congress has a role. we're the ones who impose the sanctions. we have a role on reviewing any

disagreement but the key here is whether we can stop iran from becoming a nuclear weapon state. in order to do that we have to have sufficient amount of time before they can break out with the ability to know what they are doing because we don't trust them. we want to make sure whatever we do we have adequate safeguards to find out what they are doing. >> here's what the president had to say about all of this. as part of that interview with tom friedman. >> my hope is we can find something that allows congress to express itself but does not encroach on traditional presidential prerogatives and ensures that if in fact we get a good deal we can go ahead and implement it. >> bob menendez was one of the strongest opponents of the deal and are you going to replace him on the corker menendez deal? >> no this is a bill that was drafted by senator corker and senator menendez it's their

legislation. i certainly do support a role for congress to play. listening to what the president just said that's our hope, the congress and white house can work together for a stronger america. we know we have to be together on foreign policy. however there are two separate branches of government and we each have separate responsibilities. i think we can try to find ways to strengthen the president's hand but congress exercising its appropriate role. >> now, there are a number of issues that were unresolved in lusanne, and when the iranian foreign minister got back to hay ran tehran, he had a hero's welcome and before he got home disagreeing on the elimination of several of the key facilities containment of some of their key nuclear facilities so there's a real disconnect between the way javad zarif is

explaining it and john kerry is complaining this. this could help in stopping hard liners in both capitals from killing the deal before it even has a chance to breathe. but at some point, doesn't it make it less likely that they will get back to the negotiating table and agree on these key components. how do they do that after denying them? >> i think iran has a lot at stake during these negotiations these sanctions pretty much crippled their economy. they are at the bargaining table because of necessity. because not they wanted to give up nuclear weapon ambition. it's going to be whether we have in this agreement strong enough provisions to allow us the access we need to inspect and make sure that they are not violating the terms of the agreement and the ability to snap back sanctions if they do violate any of these terms of the agreement. we're going to make sure there's adequate protection in any agreement because you can't believe what iran says. they've cheated before and we

know that they are likely to do that again if we're not having a watch on what's going on. >> if iran insists that the sanctions come off immediately and don't snap back that's a nonstarter that will never get past congress? >> think the key provisions we have to have a long enough time before breakout and secondly we need to do what they are doing, the inspection process and third, we have to be able to take effective action if they don't carry out terms of their agreement. i think we must make sure all three of those components are in any agreement. >> are you concerned at reports from federal election filings that a lot of the big money from jewish american supporters who have been part of the democratic base for generations is now moving into the republican camp in this next election cycle, partly because of these negotiations and partly because they don't trust president obama to be tough enough on iran.

>> the u.s./israel relations is critically important to israel and the united states. i take pride that we had made this issue has been supported by democrats and republicans, it's been by cam ral, the administration and congress. it's in israel's interest and united states' interest we do not plit size the support for israel, we'll do everything we can to make sure how important that relationship is. >> do you disagree with dianne feinstein that thinks netanyahu has gone too far? >> the relationship is beyond any one leader. i said that a little earlier on another opportunity. we've got to make sure this relationship remains strong and in the u.s. interest and in israel's interest and mr. netanyahu is the democrat eelect elected prime minister and we'll work with him. what he said before congress of united states, most of us agreed with what a lot of what he said. it's not -- we know his passion for israel. he's responsible for the security of israel. we know that the united states

can play a very key role in the stuart and we intend to be there. >> joining us from the white house lawn were you meeting with key people, den is mcdone noug -- >> no my grandchildren were here, we're enjoying a beautiful day outside. >> you see, it's always the easiest explanation. i hope your grandchildren had a great time. it's a wonderful day and great event. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> and coming up next a crucial day in the boston bombing trial. the jury is set to get the case after closing arguments wrap up today. we'll go live to boston for an update. who's on deck? which potential 2016 candidate will be the next to make it official? you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" only on msnbc. ideas come into this world ugly and messy. they are the natural born enemy of the way things are.

in boston closing arguments are under way at the federal courthouse right now at the trial of accused bomber dzhokhar tsarnaev. the jury could begin deliberating as early as this afternoon of the tsarnaev's attorneys already conceded that their client was involved in the bombing and shootings that followed. at the expected next phase in the trial where the jury has to determine his sentence tsarnaev could face the death penalty. joining me now from boston is nbc's ron mott. ron, this is the beginning of the end of the first phase of this trial. and as we've been reporting as you've been reporting since day one, they conceded his guilt in their opening arguments. >> reporter: good day to you. it was a big day here at the federal courthouse in south boston. the government is making its closing arguments to this jury started about 45 minutes or so

ago. we think they'll wrap up in the next 15 to 20 minutes and the government lawyer opened it by saying that dzhokhar tsarnaev and his brother wanted to punish their country and their people for what they say america has done to their people meaning muslims. he said in specific reference to dzhokhar tsarnaev he placed his pressure cooker bomb in the book bag behind children that he could clearly see one was martin richard standing on a barricade watching runners go towards the funnish line. he said that bomb there because he wanted to make a memorable scene that would follow after that explosion. he says he calmly walked away and called his brother essentially to say he was in place and then he says surveillance cameras caught dzhokhar turning his head to look back at the scene as he was running the other way as the attorney says like a salmon upstream while people are running this way, he's going the opposite direction.

now he is going through the case, going through the chase that followed later in the week. he also pointed out as we have reported throughout the trial that 20 minutes or so after these bombings that dzhokhar tsarnaev was kaulgt on a grocery store surveillance tape buying milk. he wanted the jury to be reminded of the callousness of that action 20 minutes after the bombs went off and of course later in the week talked about the killing of sean collier, the govern's lawyer saying that they watched television for a couple of days and then decided to get reized on this campaign after seeing their faces and names on the screen for -- as police were looking for them and they sprung back into action and decided to then make their way or hope to make their way to new york. they never got to new york before we saw that final scene in cambridge and watertown. so the government once they wrap

here the defense will take over. we don't suspect their closing arguments will take near near an hour, maybe 15 or 20 minutes. they only called for witnesses throughout this trial, as you know the defense strategy here is that tamerlan tsarnaev was the person who was the mastermind behind the bombings and that his younger brother was essentially roped into all of this. we do suspect that the jury will get charged with this case sometime this afternoon but there's still some time to go through closing arguments and lunch break before we get to that point. >> and ron, very briefly, they have a lot of paperwork to go through. even though it may seem cut and dried in the first phase, the guilt or innocence phase it could take a while, hours, another day of deliberations before they actually came up with a verdict. >> reporter: that's right. >> ron, thank you -- >> reporter: 30 charges in all. sorry, andrea. >> how many charges, please finish. i didn't mean to interrupt you.

>> reporter: 30 counts to go through, 17 of those carry the death penalty. as you mentioned, they have to go through them specific instructions to each of those 30. the whole process, administrative process of charging the jury telling them the law that applies to each of the 30 counts could take some time. that could be an hour or two hours to go through counts and jury goes back to deliberate and that of course could take some time even though it seems they will probably be found guilty on most if not all of the charges, that's the thinking in boston. >> ron mott thanks very much. appreciate you're being there for us. >> coming up the obama doctrine, why the president thinks this framework for a nuclear deal with iran is in the united states best interest. and batter up we'll take you out to the ball game for opening day just ahead. i will light up every room i walk into. presenting the olay regenerist luminous collection.

the nuclear deal that we've put together is not based on the idea that somehow the regime changes. it is a good deal even if iran doesn't change at all. even if they are -- opposed to us, all of the more reason for us to want to have a deal in which we know what they are doing. >> president obama in a lengthy interview selling the nuclear agreement to the american people, to israel and political critics and international community wondering if a final deal can be reached. joining me now jeffrey goldberg and the school of advanced international studies at johns hopkins university. welcome both. what do we do with the fact that the minute this was announced?

they didn't sign anything together. they couldn't agree on one. they agreed to disagree own go home and have this ambiguity. >> they were very tired. >> then zarif immediately tweeted and criticized the statement of facts that the state department put out and then went home and is denying that the sanctions would be phased out gradually denying that there's any restrictions on some of these main underground facilities as well as future research and development. >> let's -- i like to focus on this, they are calling this the framework agreement, but it much more framework than it is agreement at this point. there's a general scaffolding of issues that they have generally agreed upon but it's the details -- they are more than just details. there are competing narratives now about what was agreed to and that's when you lack an actual document or have unilateral documents when you lack a kind of joint document you really

don't know which is why, we haven't really focused on this. the next three months not just about president obama selling this to congress or combatting benjamin netanyahu's desire to see this killed. it's about actually coming to serious agreements with iranians on very very hard issues. >> what we were told was going to be a technical follow-on of three months disputes over perhaps this type of centrifuge or that type of centrifuge is much more fundamental as jeff just pointed out. >> there are a couple of big areas that need to be negotiated mainly what sanctions would be lifted and how quickly they would be lifted and iran has demanded that unite d nations chapter 7 sanctions should be lifted. on the u.s. side the kind of research that iran can do these are all sort of big issues that have not been resolved. but now we're in a phase that even technical issues are political issues.

it's going to be seen as one side as victory and one side surrender or cap it lags by the other side. they have to play a very very delicate game on the one side showing home constituencies that they are doing better than the other side and on the other hand, keep them engaged going forward. so there's going to be much more sleepless nights and a lot of marathon negotiations as we move forward and i think as congress and hard liners in iran begin to push back you're going to see both sides react at a negotiating table to the pressure that they are feeling at home. >> is there any question -- you know iran so well, that the iatola, any doubt in your mind he has signed off on what has agreed to. >> he has signed off on negotiations going forward and signed off on a deal that would respect the red lines that he has put down.

right now we're in a phase where president obama has bought into this deal much more so than the supreme leader has. he's still much more in the shadows and therefore has the ability to dump this on the government and back away. >> there's an interesting moment could come when hard liners in iran go to the supreme leader and say you wouldn't believe what they actually agreed to. they spin it in a way that makes him say, oh, i didn't understand that detail. so you have -- you have multiple dynamics and you have a hard liners in america sort of the longer this goes on the more questions will come up and the more questions we realize even exist. >> there were several people at the negotiating table for iran salehi and several close to the supreme leader. >> the lobbying is going to be fairly intense on the supreme leader. >> and what about netanyahu? >> i think he's less -- i think he's -- netanyahu has done all

that he could do at this point. i think the people in congress who support netanyahu point of view are there. i don't think he's getting any new friends in this. if he sends an israeli negotiator or partner who has the attention of the white house, then maybe, but i think the obama administration has written him off. >> the president invited the gulf leaders to come to camp david, which is extraordinary because he hasn't used camp david in this way before. he's trying to reassure the saudis and others they are withholding judgment publicly until they get this briefing. is he ever going to invite netanyahu to come for a briefing? >> i can't imagine it's something he actually wants to do. i don't think netanyahu really wants to come either. but at a certain point, i think they are going to have to have it out again, especially if it seems as if netanyahu's point of view is carrying new democrats

with him, depending on how the negotiations continue. >> bottom line to both of you, in a word is this going to get approved and signed by june 30th? >> i think it's going to be tough. i think they may miss the june 30th deadline by a day or two. the iranians are going to run a very hard bargain at the end. and i think the administration would have to address the big issues. so i wouldn't say that by any means this is a given, that this deal would happen but i would be surprised if they won't be a number of sleepless nights at the end. >> i think right now the president is more committed to getting this done than perhaps the supreme leader of iran. i think there's a very good chance that it does get done. >> jeff goldberg two of the best experts on this. thank you so much. former nsa contractor turned leaker edward snowden speaking out in a surprise interview with hbo's john oliver.

he spoke to the host in moscow where he has been for more than a year. he defended revealing classified information exposing the nsa extensive surveillance programs but john oliver did not let him off easily. >> how many of those documents have you actually read? >> i've evaluated all of the documents in the archive. >> you've read every single one? >> i do understand what i turned over. >> the difference between understanding what is in the documents and reading what's in the documents. >> i recognize the concern -- >> because when you're handing over thousands of nsa documents, the last thing you want to do is read them. >> in my defense i'm not handling anything anymore, that's been passed to journalists and using extraordinary security measures. >> the new york times took a slide, didn't redakt it properly and in the end it was possible for people to see that something was being used in mosul on al qaeda. >> that is a problem.

>> that's a [ bleep ] -- >> it's [ bleep ] up. >> and these things do happen in reporting. in journalism we have to expect some mistakes will be made. this is a fundamental concept of liberty. >> but you have to own that then. you're giving documents with information you know could be harmful, which could get out there. >> yes. >> yes. coming up next checking the box, jeb bush has some explaining to do after identifying himself as hispanic on a 2009 voter registration form. but first, check out this view today of the cherry blossoms framing the potomac and national mall. spring has officially sprung here in washington. jack's heart attack didn't come with a warning. today, his doctor has him on a bayer aspirin regimen to help reduce the risk of another one. if you've had a heart attack be sure to talk to your doctor

tomorrow announcing he is running for president, no surprise. he'll make the announcement in his home state of kentucky. paul is trying to build moment you will with the release of a new video where he calls himself a different kind of republican leader. take a look. >> it's time for a new way, a new set of ideas, a new leader one you can trust, one who works for you and above all, it's time for a new president. >> joining me now for our daily fix, chris cillizza msnbc contributor and jeanne cummings deputy editor for bloomberg news. chris, this is clearly a populist campaign, he's gotten kentucky to change their rules to keep running for the senate

as well as running for president at the same time. and he's going to be first in after ted cruz. >> you know what's interesting about that video, you now all of those images and words are carefully chosen. the thing that stands out to me is the emphasis on the world new. new leadership new ideas. a new president. it's all aimed -- it's two fold i think it's aimed certainly at jeb bush who is not new in any meaningful way. he's been a two-term governor who's family has been around for quite a long time and aimed in some way at hillary clinton. another person who is not new on the politics scene. you can make the argument rand paul's dead has run for president three times and spent decades in congress. but that's what's he's going to try to do. this idea that we've gone through the bushes and clintons let's try someone who sounds different, his ideas are going to be different than the vast majority of the republican field. sounds and looks different now is the time that we need something like that.

we'll see if it sells. >> and the kickoff, jeanne is going to be around the country, the louisville kickoff, then going to go around the country, take a look at the states he's going to be in. yet, he is a washington figure because he's a senator. >> exactly. >> can't run against washington he's a creature of washington. his message is getting increasingly complicated. on the one hand running against washington but he's a part of it. he has taken steps away from positions he's had on defense spending and involvement in foreign policy where he's tacking actually a little closer to the other republican candidates. and so his lines are moving and he's the one moving them. that could be -- that could make his candidacy turn into what it -- what it -- what it was not going to be and that is an ordinary run of the mill republican candidacy.

>> now, he's fairly close to ted cruz already announcing our nbc news wall street journal poll because people were asked among republican primary voters ted cruz 40% said they could support him, 49% rand paul. 38% said they could not. 48%. they both have the same negatives there. >> and we're so early. let's bear in mind in the last cycle every one of the republican primary candidates had a month in the sun where they were at the top of those polls. a lot of people are not paying attention now. that's why these rollouts are important. that is their introduction. i felt like senator paul's clip there almost felt like the hunger games. i'm not quite sure that's the tone that you want to do right now but they are each going to try to make their announcement unique. >> and speaking of announcements and unique chris cillizza hillary clinton, now she has her folks have rented space in

brooklyn which starts a clock legally, 15 days or so so within the next two weeks we expect an announcement. could be any day, is she going to do a youtube again or is she going to do an event, do it in iowa or new hampshire? what are we hearing? >> i feel like if you look up worst kept secret in the future in a dictionary you're going to find -- it's going to say hillary clinton for president in 2016. we have heard about this for so long, you're right, now now within a two-week window and i think it would come at any time. i do think it will come as we've seen most of these things come either through a video through social media of some sort very rarely anymore, do you see a candidate go somewhere necessarily and give sort of a big speech rand paul is doing it. we saw ted cruz do it sort of. but really we already knew because he released something on social media. i think she'll do social media and will probably do smaller

things. she is not someone like a ted cruz or rand paul who needs the publicity from the announcement. everybody knows who she is and know she's running for president. i think she'll go smaller, more smaller group, maybe in iowa and new hampshire, to show she's not running as a political celebrity but as hillary clinton no quotes no former first lady no secretary of state, just hillary clinton more down home the last time they realized and made an error by making it a huge thing. i would think it's more low fi -- low profile than some of the other announcements particularly on the republican side. >> then we have jeb bush. jeb bush who, you know would you know it we didn't know he was hispanic but apparently in 2009 he checked the box on his voter registration that he is hispanic. and now he has tweeted to clear that one up. jeanne, my mistake, don't think i fooled anyone.

jeb bush jr. said lol, come on dad, think you checked the wrong box. honorary latino, his kids are latino and wife is mexican but the bottom line is jeb bush is a white guy named bush. >> very much a white guy, that is an embarrassing mistake. that might be trying too hard to appeal to the latino community. >> in fairness one box was just over the other one so it's easy to make -- >> you could see how a mistake happened, yeah. >> thanks to you, jeanne and thank you, chris cillizza mr. fix. let the good times roll president and mrs. obama through a party for more than 35,000 people of all ages on the south lawn today for the 137th easter egg roll. we know senator ben cardinwith a there with his grand kids this year's theme was give me five to celebrate the let's move campaign. he continued the tradition reading from "where the wild

things are" they nashed their terrible teeth. the president did a bit better on the basketball court this year exchanging high fives after hitting three free-throws in a row. last time he didn't do so well. the first lady learned and performed a dance routine along with the crowd with some contestants from the reality show quts so you think you can dance. here she is showing off her best moves. and sasha and malia were not able to attend because of school obligations, they did show a beautiful easter photo. it would be fun to look back at the first easter egg roll in 2009 my those girls have grown up. we'll be back right here, only on msnbc. good. very good. you see something moving off the shelves

it's a big day for sports fans today, it's the official opening day for major league baseball with key match ups and familiar faces in new roles and tonight the battle for the ncaa national basketball championship was take on duke for the men's title. here to talk about all of this evan cohen. let's talk about baseball first of all, you have the blue jays at yankees stayed yim and a-rod's return of course we don't have derek jeter to talk about anymore. and after spring training in which a-rod hit .277 with three home runs and 45 at-bats, what do you think? >> it's great for baseball he's back. i'm not sure baseball agrees with me but for the fans ang media and advertising sponsors it's a great thing. every big tv show and every big sporting event needs a store and needs a vilen. now it's mike trout, young

player with the angels, they need the villain. i'm more interested in his at-bats than anyone else. i want to see what he still has left in him and how the fans react. my assumption would be if he gets a hit they'll cheer him, if he doesn't, they'll boo him. but i think he's the ultimate vil lan for major league baseball and that's a great thing for the sport. >> we have to talk about the nats, we have the nats hosting the mets. so many injuries and jason werth, span is out. who else is out? a shoulder injury for jason werth and i think span is having abdominal surgery. >> they are banged up now. i don't think they are going to be banged up for the long haul. this team will end up being okay. they go out in the offseason had and a pitcher matt scherzer and

he turn the down roughly reports, $144 million or so from the tigers to roll the dice last year and did that and got a massive deal from the nationals. they could be your world series champion, which would be a huge huge story, especially because they have a store in brice harper who i think should be a star and not as much a villain but baseball fans look at him as a villain because of how he is loud and has the whacky and crazy hair which i love a lot of people don't. definitely a team to keep an eye on. >> what about the new rules, baseball's new rules speeding up the game? >> i think it's great. the new commissioner has done a tremendous job of acknowledge gs basically what the fans want. almost crowd sourcing to some extent. the fans of the sport have been dying to make the game faster and he's listening and willing to try things. that's a great thing and keep an eye on him. he may find a way to get pete rose back in the sport.

rob manfred understands the fans were slowly but surely going from baseball. the sport was making a lot of money but i'm not sure it was sustainable. the new commissioner has understood that and embraced that and trying to recruit new younger fans to the game. >> let's talk about basketball. tonight is the big game, wisconsin the badgers against duke. we looked it up the last time the badgers won this tournament was 1941. and we all know about duke. so they are both number one seeds but look at the odds of duke winning this thing tonight. >> i'm going to be biased i'm a university of wisconsin graduate. i'm certainly going -- >> i didn't know that. >> i'm going to root -- >> props to you. >> it is crazy to think that the university of wisconsin forever was a football school. and now they may tonight win a national championship in basketball. i would strongly urge people to keep an eye on this game tonight, who normally may not watch it. they play the way it was supposed to be played. they pass and play defense.

i'm hoping wisconsin wins but i'm not feeling good about it. i picked wisconsin to beat kentucky and duke to beat wisconsin, can i say that outloud with all of the badger fans hating me now? i want them to win not sure they are going to win. >> then you've got tomorrow the women, uconn, huskies and notre dame the women's turn is tomorrow. thanks so much. we'll protect you from your fellow badger fans. >> thank you. >> stay with us you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. know your financial plan won't keep you up at night. know you have insights from professional investment strategists to help set your mind at ease. know that planning for retirement can be the least of your worries. with the guidance of a pnc investments financial advisor, know you can get help staying on track for the future you've always wanted. when it comes to good nutrition...i'm no expert. that would be my daughter
