1:00 pm
a enjoy giro copter and calls a giant garbage can. the 2016 field descends on the state of new hampshire. it is thursday april 16th and this is now. >> the all important state of new hampshire. >> classic christie coming out. >> i will never not be who i am. >> we heard him talk and take shots at fellow republicans. >> i don't believe we've done well with the experiment of u.s. senator being president. >> it's getting really busy in new hampshire. governor bush will be in concord attending a politics and pie event where he will yes, be eating pie. >> the failure of jeb bush to totally dominate. >> today has been awesome, girl!
1:01 pm
>> former governor rick perry holding a national round table. >> it is like live free or die. to the death. bring it. >> live free or die, victory or death. bring it. that's my best rick perry. might as well be the motto of the 2016 presidential race in full swing in early voting states. hillary clinton chose iowa to kick off events. this afternoon's update? she will head to new hampshire on monday and tuesday. clinton hot on the heels of rick perry and jeb bush all there this week. later today, bush will be the featured attraction at concord's politics and pies. to be followed by politics and eggs inman mann chester. your politics and paleo diet in jeopardy. for rick perry, finds new hampshire nothing short of
1:02 pm
awesome, girl! he loves the slogans, the maple syrup, he loves the freedom. but today's small business round table, perry was considerably more muted than at new hampshire events past. talking about what kind of leader the nation needs. >> a leader that has had the experience, i mean it's one thing to say, here's what i believe. and there's another thing to say, here's what i believe and here's what i've done. >> two things and he remembered them both. breakfast politics an essential part of the presidential campaign trail. chris christie unridged about bridge gate in manchester. matt lauer asked christie. >> i've been front-runner before. the bull's eye is on the back and everybody is shooting at you. that's okay. i'm fine with exactly where i am today because i haven't changed.
1:03 pm
all the other stuff is artificial. and so the game really begins. >> joining me political reporter for the "boston globe," and contributing editor for new york magazine jason, who has the cover story in this week. james, seer and knower of all things new hampshire. who do you think the state likes this week? >> who knows? with the fallacyies we're seeing jeb bush is a kind of front-runner. certainly more advantages than other candidates. particularly, in new hampshire. but they're pretty slight and there's a whole cluster of people in that top, say, three, four five candidates that really could be anyone's game. >> steve, we talk a lot about chris christie. you know the governor well. he said he had a lot to say to matt lauer and with him talking to jeb bush, whether or not the bush dynasty is a threat to
1:04 pm
them. >> you thought when he announced in december that he would be but it seems to me that train has slowed down pretty significantly from what i've seen out and around the country. >> it will speed up again when it jumps full force. >> none of it matters, to see people perform under these lights. >> under some lights maybe not official campaign lights jeb bush raised 100 million$100 million in the first quarter, steve. >> what i suspect christie is thinking about. under the lights what he's thinking about, he's thinking about the first debate. he's thinking about being up there on the stage with jeb bush, rand paul and ted cruz and thinking about he has, always what struck me about christie, he has extraordinary confidence and well placed. he has extraordinary confidence in his ability as an off the cuff performer in exactly that kind of setting. it's how he became a political star back in 2010 when he was
1:05 pm
starting out as governor. it was these spontaneous youtube moments he would talk to and erupt with a reporter at town hall or whatever and it became a viral sensation, national following. he thinks he will have one of those moments on that stage. looks at his rivals. >> do you think he can wait that long? >> he can do stuff between now and then but think back to 2012. newt gingrich third place in south carolina he has one of the debate moments with john king and suddenly beats mitt romney in 2012. we saw those moments, if you can connect with that raw nerve of the republican or democratic electorate, you can take off fast. i think that's probably where christie is headed on this. >> hillary clinton is going to be going to new hampshire monday tuesday, which surprises probably exactly no one. i guess i wonder i want to quote a line from your piece. who do you, it seems one hand that the clinton campaign would most like to run against jeb bush. on the other hand, he seems like
1:06 pm
the most worthy adversary in a number of levels. a campaign against bush would present different opportunities and challenges. a bush surname would help neutralize clinton fatigue and how he might have more trouble getting his base to turn out. >> yeah, no. i think one thing that would help hillary clinton in the campaign with jeb would be the familiarity factor. goes off the table, running against a bush not a new face. i think that's why rubio is a concern. he has some of the same political attributes. he would bring hispanics into it younger voters but a new face as well. i think that scares them, concerns them. that reinforces her negatives. so jeb, he would bring to the table some things. it would be hard for her to deal with but would take away one of the biggest flaws or perceived flaws, been around forever. >> james, in terms of someone like marco rubio, new hampshire and iowa don't go for the same kind of candidates.
1:07 pm
and i wonder if you think marco rubio, i mean a lot of folks say jeb neutralizes his options with the establishment but i wonder for new hampshire, could he make a big play there? >> i think he will. he'll come to new hampshire before iowa after he announces his campaign. i think the key for marco rubio is he's playing knives and sitting where he wants to be in the right position. the only way to go up is when others fall. i think they're happy about where they're at right now. >> can i follow on that speaking of dark horses? rick perry is in the state and i will say, james, maybe my favorite footage of the campaign is rick perry in new hampshire. he did not do it back then with the jar of maple syrup with abundance of enthusiasm and perhaps prescription painkillers, where do you put his odds? >> i like this rick perry so much more than the 2012 rick
1:08 pm
perry. not the reasons you just mentioned but when he came in the race he was a front-runner and maybe on the day of the straw poll and like a big deal. he had the swagger. now he's scrapping it out. he's doing small round tables, having town hall meetings around the state. he's campaigning the right way in new hampshire. though i still believe for him, if you're rick perry, the focus is going to be in iowa or south carolina more than the great estate. >> steve am i being incredibly boring thinking this is sort of jeb bush's to lose? when we talk about these people it feels like exceptions to the conventional. >> i guess i disagree with it and what we're sort of conditioned for good reason to look back at history and say the establishment guy always ends up winning in the end. mccain, mitt romney all of that. i look at mitt romney. he was the establishment guy, the one supposed to win. and you look at who he had to
1:09 pm
beat and it was herman cain it was newt gingrich, rick santorum, last seen losing the senate race by 20 points and in the face of the weakest opposition for any front-runner in the face of that lost 11 states to rick santorum. i left the 2012 campaign saying my god, if mitt romney had a challenger to string together a coherent sentence he would have been beaten. the appetite was that strong to go with somebody else and literally couldn't find. i mean, rick perry in the race in 2011, 20 points ahead. all the gaps. if not for that, rick perry would have run away with it. >> but your story, asks the question, is hillary clinton a good campaigner, does it even matter? are these people good candidates, does it even i mean, i wonder if we learn anything from election cycle to election cycle other than having a boat load of money really makes a difference. >> having a boat load of money
1:10 pm
-- [ talking over each other ] >> super pacs changed the equation and party activists who control blocks. that's something george w. bush was able to do in 1999. it wasn't just wall street that was supporting him. he had all these conservative activists on board. he had all the electorates in congress and able to shut out the rest of the field. i think that's what jeb thought he was going to do this time around and he hasn't been able to do that. that's why there's an opening. i don't know if the opening is for someone like cruz necessarily, someone the establishment loathes but someone like a rubio or a walker. i mean christie maybe could catch on fire. probably doubtful but he'll have his moment. but jeb is kind of he's left the door open and i think that's the question. if the people who aren't necessarily coming to his side now, if their eyes wander a bit and see someone else. >> you know, and steve, the question of george w. bush and how much he is a liability for jeb remains to be seen. i actually think that ed o'keefe in the post has a good point. far from running our down
1:11 pm
playing the views once expressed by brother, george jeb bush is embracing them and emphasizing them. most apparent when he refers to evil doers. when you listen to the role in the world, it very much has shadows and echoes of george w. bush's entire world view. >> on the foreign policy stuff. i think that reflects a broader shift nth republican party and because of vices, the beheadings the zest for intervention is a lot higher now than two years ago. we have at msnbc, two-thirds of americans say they want boots on the ground to combat isis. you wouldn't have seen that two years ago. the biggest liability with the bush name for jeb and brother and all that, the era of republican leadership that george w. bush reflects today's base is the era that the party sold out for big government, conservatives, for new cabinet department, all this stuff. it's the era they look at and
1:12 pm
say not only did he end up with 30% approval rating but we ended up with barack obama. and i think that's what -- >> the unforgivable thing. >> what they did not want to happen. i want to talk about isis and national security and how much that plays in a state like new hampshire. i remember scott brown when he was trying to run for the senate was talking about isis. not a direct threat to the state of new hampshire as far as i know. mike huckabee is out with what may be i know it's early, one of the craziest most talked about ads on the internet. maybe not the most talked about but sensational ads but compares isis to a rattlesnake. one second we're pulling it up from the internet. or it's setting the internet on fire? do we have it now? get excited, here it is. >> when you're dealing with islamic jihad that has as its goal the annihilation who
1:13 pm
doesn't believe their absolute religious fanaticism you're dealing with a rattlesnake. as a kid growing up in south arkansas, you don't get in their heads and figure out why they want to buy it or have a conversation with you. you don't negotiate with them. you sure as heck don't feed them. you take their heads off with a shotgun or a hoe before they bite you. >> you don't negotiate with a rattlesnake. do voters of new hampshire care about that message? is that what they're worried barack obama is doing? >> the major differences between the 2012 campaign and 2016 campaign is when you go to these house parties and see candidates interacting with activists, i find fascinating, particularly in the beginning stages of these campaigns is what kind of questions are being asked. in fact, i tally them. in 2012 we talked about the economy, the affordable care act and talk a lot about foreign policy. so you can dismiss the way he
1:14 pm
talks about the issue but there's no question people with foreign policy. >> i hope mike huckabee said you can't negotiate with the rattlesnake. you need a gun and a hoe. thank you for your time and thoughts. of course, catch up with steve cornaki on weekends on msnbc. after the break, attorney general loretta lynch waiting 159 days nearly 23 weeks for confirmation. senator harry reid may now have a way to end that. plus some of california, some is taking extreme measures to cope with the drought but not all of california and later, will the bible soon be the official book of tennessee? all that is ahead on now.
1:15 pm
audible safety beeping audible safety beeping audible safety beeping the nissan rogue with safety shield technologies. the only thing left to fear is you imagination. nissan. innovation that excites. well, my ultimate goal when i came here... cam asked me and i said, "i wanted to win the masters." i really don't know what to expect until i go out there and play.
1:16 pm
people ship all kinds of things. but what if that thing is a few hundred thousand doses of flu vaccine. that need to be kept at 41 degrees. while being shipped to a country where it's 90 degrees. in the shade. sound hard? yeah. does that mean people in laos shouldn't get their vaccine? we didn't think so. from figuring it out to getting it done, we're here to help.
1:18 pm
president obama's nominee for attorney general loretta lynch has now been waiting for a confirmation vote from congress for 159 days. that is twice as long than the 7 most recent attorney generals combined. but the wait just might be over. >> i want to say this to all your viewers. we put up with this far too long. and we're going to have a vote on her very soon created by mitch mcconnell or i'll create one. i can still do that. i know parliament procedure around here and we're going to put up with this a little while longer. but not much. >> you have a way you think you can force a vote. >> if we don't, i will force a vote. >> what would be the trigger for that happen more time happening or passing? >> i had a conversation today
1:19 pm
with a member of republicans and told them to get her done or make sure they have an opportunity to vote against her. >> joining me now, msnbc's chief legal correspondent and co-host of the cycle, ari melber and dana melbank. why do you think this has been held up for so long? >> that is a good question. the republicans, as you know initially stated it shouldn't have been done in the lame duck. that has moved now and claimed it should have been which for anyone keeping score which includes the white house today, this is a frustrating thing to say the least. there is clearly a growing sense, not only among progressives and supporters of the administration and this nominee, but i think widely in washington, that there is no end game here. this is frustrating and that this is, a historical matter as you point out. much worse than the treatment of other nominees without.
1:20 pm
not to say that's automatically a bad thing but without any substantive reason. apparently 51 public votes for this person. but people's business is being held up and there isn't a good reason other than what in senate language they call non-germane bills. things, nothing to do with this. >> dana loretta lynch has been languishing so long they forgot she hasn't been confirmed. the votes appear to be there. it's close as all things in washington are, but why do you think this there has been a sex trafficking bill that republicans have been trying to inject anti-abortion language into and they say until they pass that nothing's happening with loretta lifrmgynch. there may be movement behind the scenes but what has sort of forced the machinery of washington into motion, if that's what we're seeing today, in particular? >> i think you're seeing a lot of frustration from harry reid
1:21 pm
and it's not necessarily true that he could force a vote but what he can do is bring the senate to a halt. >> how much lower can the senate go at this point? how much does it mean? >> how much more can the paint dry? it's hard to tell they're getting anything done but they did approve the first judicial nominee of the year. things happen very slowly. harry reid could suggest nothing is going to happen at all. things will not meet business will grind a halt until they do this. it's not clear why the republicans chose to make a hostage of loretta lynch. an african-american woman. and stupid as a matter of strategy because the only thing this is doing is leaving eric holder on the job as attorney general and who do senate republicans hate more than anybody? it's eric holder.
1:22 pm
they're cutting off their nose to smoke their face. >> what he's saying to rachel mad maddow not that she's going to join the obstruction party but he believes as a parliamentary matter because this nominee already passed out of committee and thus a technical matter to bring into the session to process nominees. that doesn't guarantee a confirmation but it would if it works guarantee a vote. that's what he was saying to rachel maddow. >> the reason he could pass is because senate republicans use the pass with the simple majority vote. basically filibuster proof. the question is whether we could get a majority vote on what harry reid is suggesting. >> final vote. >> dana to the optics of a
1:23 pm
congress not doing much. today on the medicare dock fix, there are green shoots if you will, in terms of functionality. i also wonder, to your point, about this being the nomination of the country's first african-american female attorney general, in a moment where it feels like we're talking about race every week for whatever reason, videos controversies, the like is this republican sort of coming to reality and saying, this is not a good move for us as ari said not good to hold this confirmation indefinitely? >> i think they're coming up with that conclusion overall. the problem is and when reid wants to bring them into executive session, there's a thing called unanimous consent and that means any one of these guys, any ted cruz or rand paul or anyone who wants to show boat
1:24 pm
can stop that from happening. probably the democrats' only answer is to bring things to a halt and take their own hostages. it's not an ideal situation by any stretch and you are correct, there are all kinds of green chutes there. we see potential for agreement on trade. much to the chagrin of many democrats, we see a potential for the iran negotiations with the agreement in the senate. there is all kinds of potential here. and i have to think that what's left of the mainstream of the republican leadership in the senate is saying how did we get ourselves into this? to allow dick durbin to get up there and say they're sending loretta lynch to the back of the bus. that's inflammatory language and don't necessarily endorse that kind of language but the republicans left themselves open to that kind of language. >> you've talked to eric holder. if loretta lynch is confirmed, what do we expect at a time when
1:25 pm
role of attorney general is relevant as ever the issues before him or her are as pressing as ever? >> we know from her long tenure as a federal prosecutor has been tough on organized crime, very tough on terror cases. she's continuing in the eastern district on a case of a would-be isis sympathizer right now. everything we know about her suggests she would bring a lot of credibility perhaps ironically, perhaps tragically to some of the very difficult questions the country is grappling with around policing independent federal investigations, around how are you tough on crime and criminals without having use of excessive force, the police shootings in the news as well. i don't think it's a question and i think many republicans have all but said this in the process which is the substantive irony. i don't think it's any question she would be well equipped to deal with those issues, a good relationship with nypd fbi, everyone around new york that she's worked with, which is why we forget, we're talking about
1:26 pm
51 votes right now, back when it was only a question of her record, she was unanimous for a very important federal prosecutor post. that's what you would do. the problem for government and governance, the people who care about it the attorney general is trying to exit with enough time for someone to bring in their own team and these said, unusual delays without a substantive reason getting in the way. the last thing i'll say about the the politics and what's interesting about what reid said to maddow is ultimately some of the republican votes might evaporate on final push. bob marlie said there are every reaction. >> i love when you can tie it up on a bob marley quote. you're an in-house reggae expert. what would be appropriately inflated? good to see you guys. thank you for your time. check ari on "the cycle" and

watch rachel's exclusive interview tonight on msnbc. coming up will this contraption, a giro copter change security in washington, d.c.? that's next. new york state is reinventing how we do business by leading the way on tax cuts. we cut the rates on personal income taxes. we enacted the lowest corporate tax rate since 1968. we eliminated the income tax on manufacturers altogether. with startup-ny, qualified businesses that start, expand or relocate to new york state pay no taxes for 10 years. all to grow our economy and create jobs. see how new york can give your business the opportunity to grow at ny.gov/business when it comes to good nutrition...i'm no expert. that would be my daughter -- hi dad. she's a dietitian. and back when i wasn't eating right, she got me drinking boost. it's got a great taste and it helps give me the nutrition i was missing. helping

1:35 pm
attention, this national high five day. the tennessee senate just killed a bill declaring the bible to be its official state book. jerry seinfeld is apparently not a fan of user generated content calling youtube, a quote, giant garbage can. and a heated debate over hillary clinton's rollout continues. the swirl whether or not she left the tip at chipotle. but first, bystander culture once again at the center of controversy after an alleged sexual assault by three men on a florida beach was caught on tape in broad daylight as a crowd of spring break revelers stood nearby. >> within 10 feet of where this happened there is hundreds hundreds of people standing there watching looking, seeing hearing, what's going on. and yet, our culture and our society and our young people have got to the point where we're obviously, this is
1:36 pm
acceptable. >> joining me is msnbc.com national reporter, erin karmoan and jonathan k. park. erin i want to talk about bystander culture. not so much the spring break reveler, but whether you think the speaker in that piece, our culture has changed. i go back to kitty genevieve. plenty saw and heard screams, did nothing. i feel like this is something that's been with us for decades but do you think it's different? >> i think for the past decades, activists fighting sexual assault and domestic violence have zeroed in on this bystander intervention and how that might be the only way to prevent that interpersonal violence. people talk a lot about don't drink, don't wear that short skirt, things that a potential victim can do. but people focus on rapists will
1:37 pm
commit crimes. what can we do to stop it in its tracks? but it's still a recent thing. something the obama administration has really been emphasizing with their it's on us campaign. but i don't think we're there as a culture people still think they should do something and at least one person said they felt they needed to pull out their phone in this situation. i don't think we're there yet where somebody says that's not okay. that person is incapacitated, that's not cool. it happened in steubenville and another case in canada. i think we're at the point people feel sort of mute or they want to be spectators as opposed to stopping and saying this is not okay. >> right. the first reaction is to pull out your phone. and these are not comparable cases, mike, but there, we saw the bystander as courageous. you look at something like sae, you have someone on the bus that posts the video of the racist chanting and i feel like that's a little bit more of a gray
1:38 pm
area. one point, you want to say, why didn't you get up on the bus and say, that's not -- you should have been stopping them from seeing that. >> the phones i think they're holding up a mirror to who we are. and the kitty jengenevieve story is fascinating. mostly a myth. the editor of the new york times thought that was the story that el illustrated where is our society, like now. i can't look at the video from spring break and make too many decisions. half blurred out by the police, so disturbing and hard to follow. but what about all the, it is true, it is human nature. what you were saying is true we should empower more people to say, hey, this isn't right but so many stories of bystanders the right thing, we don't talk about it. the buildings came down a couple months ago in new york so many bystanders, this was an explosion. >> the 2nd avenue. >> everyone helping everyone come out. whenever there's a trouble.
1:39 pm
like if we think about our own lives, is it true people do nothing or people step up? i could think of so many examples people step up. it's confusing in that kind of situation. >> and i think it depends on the circumstances. if you were on the sae frat bus and basically implicated these are your people. a member of the frat otherwise participating in this culture, i guess it would make it harder for you to break away from that as opposed to if you are a guy, an onlooker who sees a cop shooting and killing presumably an unarmed civilian. may be easier for you to step outside of that situation and say, hey, something's wrong here and go to the family or the police with the evidence that you have. >> mm-hmm. i think in the situation of panama beach, you know, you've got a gang of people who are involved in something terribly violent. and, you know, sitting here wondering, what would i have
1:40 pm
done were i there? would i, you know, thrust myself into the situation and try to break it up? when i know for certain, i would go get a cop or call 9-1-1 or do something like that. but it's not clear. maybe you'reerin or mike or know whether 9-1-1 was called but it's disturbing the first instinct in a situation like that is to pull out the phone and record. maybe that person's instinct was to let me get this on video so if anyone was to say they weren't involved, they could be prosecuted. >> but that's not what happened. part of a broader investigation, that video held in secrecy. i'm not comparing what happened with the sae and the gang, but forces us to ask the question what would i have done in the
1:41 pm
situation? >> one of the things people talk about in bystander intervention training is how do we empower bystanders to be empowered and safe? in the case of the walter scott video, that person was taking a huge risk because there's a shooting happening. being a bystander doesn't always involve calling the police. it could be talking to a life guard, could be the owner of a bar, talking to your friend. if we make it so you have to be a super hero in the situation, that may be unsafe and may not happen especially when you have this kind of decade of culture of that drunk girl so funny, as opposed to that's rape that's illegal, that's violent. >> i think also in anti-bullying curriculums, they talk about interveneing intervening. i think the sheriff is wrong. i don't know if our society is coming to a place. i'm an optimist. >> i like the optimism. this is completely unrelated topic but that's the point of the segment. elsewhere the in united states hillary clinton and her every
1:42 pm
move have been scrutinized. especially this visit to an iowa chipotle may or may not got sour cream. whether she left the tip. the store's manager said she failed to. surprising to exactly know said i would like to know if she left anything in the tip jar because that would be an indication she understands the average ordinary every man she seeks to represent. your thoughts on this pressing national matter jonathan? >> one was there a tip jar sitting right there? and two, i have a problem with the whole tip shaming thing. we've been talking about this a couple of weeks, there have been stories where like the jar and then the electronic way to flash up on the screen 25%, 50%? and this is my full disclosure and might not be a surprise to you, but i have never been to chipotle. >> whoa.
1:43 pm
whoa. don't they revoke furyour passport for that? i think you're disqualified for citizenship. >> unrelatable. caucus goers. >> here's the only thing i'll say. hillary clinton knows she's going to be scrutinized. the security video. each media appearance so withheld or each appearance so withheld that once there was a tiniest bit of chum in the water. everyone descends on it. in the course of reporting on things high profile people often tip because they know wherever they go waiter or waitress is often asked, did he tip? did she tip? >> i feel like she's not used to buying things for herself. and i'm not saying that's an excuse. that's just a possible on observation but it's not standard to tip for counter service. but table service. and it's worth noting chipotle
