all these networks keep making different claims. it gets confusing. fastest, the strongest the most in-your-face-est. it sounds like some weird multiple choice test. yea, but do i pick a, b, or c.

for me it's all of the above. i pick, like the best of everything. verizon. i didn't. i picked a. maybe c. and how'd that work out for you? not so well. can i get a do-over? why settle for less when you can have, well, everything. and get 2 lines for $100. verizon. closing out our week on scrambled politics the national rifle association's annual meetings begin today in nashville. many top ranking republicans will be in attendance includingeing

clinton. it feels like she has been running for president already. it's been like three years. why do you think she's picking now to announce and why on a weekend. >> three years? more like eight years. i think that she recently signed a lease in a brooklyn office building for a campaign head quarters and that really kick started a 15-day window in federal commissionings guidelines for when she would have to file to announce her candidacy. the clock is ticking down but we are just any day now expecting an announcement from the former secretary of state, and the clear front runner in the democratic field. >> kevin, i have to ask about bill. how is he going to play into her run. >> that's a great question. a lot of questions about his involvement. he all remember during the 2008 campaign when there were questions raised about his involvement. there's been some conflicting

reports. the former president clinton gave an interview recently and she said he would perhaps have a more low key but then reports in the last couple of days indicated he would be out front. what's interesting is from a policy standpoint on issues like trade, for example, where secretary clinton is going to have to perhaps differentiate a little bit from her husband's policy views, again, that political tight rope that hillary clinton is going to have to walk as she launches and campaigns for the nomination and for president. >> >> it's interesting. you talk about differentiating and now there's somebody else coming out on monday maybe marco rubio. he's possibly going to throw his hat into the ring. he's talking act tax reform. how is this going to play out for him. >> senator rubio is perhaps one of the most underrated republican candidates in the field. a lot of folks i talk with say if someone like former governor

bush or governor scott walker perhaps fails, senator rubio is someone who could clearly rise to the top. he comes from a more centrist wing of the republican party. he's straddled the line of bringing together tea party members and the more established members. he's someone to watch. >> thanks so much for your input. >> have a great weekend. >> and just ahead jimmy fallon is calling it the best tonight show performance yet. >> madonna lets loose. you're going to want to see this performance so don't go anywhere. up at night. know you have insights from professional investment strategists to help set your mind at ease. know that planning for retirement
