is no david gregory. talk about these weapons and why are these weans legal particularly in the district of columbia, virginia, and maryland, what is it about these weapons we all have in common? >> capacity of ammunition they are able to hold is the first aspect, handguns without high cacity magazines are illegal in maryland, d.c. and virginia. in virginia, they do carry some high capacities. >> in virginia no restriction. >> armstrong: shocks me, this gun, i could not believe that this gun is legal. >> this hi considered a handgun. >> >> armstrong: this is considered a handgun. we are on tv. how is it this gun is legal? >> barrel size, 16 inches and capacity magazines it can hold. able to handle capacity of 30 rounds, less than 10 rounds makes it legal. >> armstrong: some wou think it is a semiautomatic, it is not. >> it is not. might have that look, nostalgia. >> armstrong: this gun is so sexy. it is so -- itakes me oh when i feel it. it is so appealing. it really turns me on, this gun, why? >> i could

david gregory, what do you see in what you just heard from marco rubio? >> well, i mean, i have to say, look, i mean, i don't want to be prudish about this thing, but it's sad to see the level of discourse that we saw last nietd and seeing it in politics 2016, we have candidates reading insults off of twitter and responding with their own ridicule and their own insults, but that's where we are. no question that marco rubio has found himself, and kind of found a new gear in his campaign to not only argue for himself, but to argue for the stakes in the campaign. talked about electability in the fall, but really, make a sustained attack on donald trump. i think it's interesting, because we've seen attacks on trump's temperament. we've seen attacks on ideology, but i think this is different now. i think those attack, and they've come from jeb bush, cruz, they haven't worked. here is rubio saying the guy is not for real. he is actually conning you. you think he'll stand up for the little guy. he'll stick it to the little guy. this is rubio trying to speak to t

david gregory covers the george w. bush administration for nbc. the press and wrote a book about faith. david joins me now from washington. i want today start with jeb bush. there was so much expectations and predictions that he would be the candidates to be in this race. we collected the media say two years ago when talking about jeb bush running. >> well, i think a couple of things. bush proved not to be a good candidate and not someone who was able to read the moment and adjust. not someone who was able to take on donald trump very effectively. it took time for him to build up to taking on. then frankly to little effect. you think about the race and how it was shaping up and the first part of 2015. this was suppose to be a clinton bush contest. there w . >> people have strong memories of the disappointing parts of his administration and that do you think that settled jeb all along? >> i think that's a part of the ferment in the republican party that goes back a long time. i think this is a real kind of reordering going on in the party after the

david gregory is at the magic wall to look at the road ahead. to be an interesting look. you figured out what the exit polls are saying. people feel betrayed. republicans who feel betrayed by their party, the numbers for trump, significant. >> 36%. what's important is that the republican left doesn't just dislike obama. they dislike gop politicians who let them down. he channels that energy. that is why it is so significant. kasich, 15%. >> this really, really matters. on the democratic side. this is really fascinating. it is not just a little gap. it is gaping. it's gigantic. >> it's huge. this is why we want to put it in red. 91%. if the top policy is honest and trustworthy, clinton has the e-mails, a lot of baggage in her past. does she face more legal jeopardy? is she facing an electability problem? >> the key is can it get done. we move on to independents. we have talked about this a little bit. interesting to see how many people on the independent side are going for trump. 38%. >> 38% to 18%. you have a lot of independent voteers in new ha

david gregory. douglas brinkley, history professor at rice university. gentlemen, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> professor, let me start with you. the idea of should or should not, can and cannot. is there any precedent, rule, or jurisdiction based issue to make that president obama should not be able to nominate this as his last year as president. >> no, there isn't. barack obama will will nominate somebody. he has made it clear that he is going to. franklin roosevelt after winning in 1936 and early '37 started packing the supreme court. the entire year of 1937, particularly the first half, the national debate is fdr trying to kill the supreme court. and fdr lost that. barack obama will be able to nominate somebody, get the democratic party behind him. i have a feeling the gop will will not allow a vote on the floor. >> professor, you know well. but, boy, imagine if president obama were trying to do what fdr was trying to do, pack the court with more judges to have it go his way. david greggingry, who will it be, how do you think it will be? what

. >> helping us analyze is david gregory, maeve reston and jackie kucinich. great to have all of you this morning. let's pull up the numbers again. we are at 96% of the votes come in. donald trump got 45.9%. marco rubio, his closest competitor, 23.9. ted cruz, 21.4. then it goes down to carson and kasich at four percentage and under. what do you see? >> we keep talking about whether donald trump has a ceiling. at 45% he showed he can win across the board with hispanics. he did the litany. well educated, poorly educated. he had high name recognition. strange with what the polling shows us. he did extremely well. it just cements the fact that he is the prohibitive front runner at this point. there is no other way to look at this reality other than he has something close to a lock on this nomination. >> jackie, let's look at some of the demographics. let's start with latino voters. the first thing he did upon announcing he was running for president was offend mexicans, or so people thought. last night he won with latino voters, 45%, jackie. >> ted cruz has consi

we have david gregory of "meet the press" fame and cnn political commentator. thing. have you ever seen it like that before? >> i can't say it on snn. it was a total "s" show. >> vicente fox? >> i wonder if there was damage to the brand long term. remember, they limited. they tried to reign in these debates in the reince priebus autopsy because there were incidents in the last debate that they thought harmed the brand of the party long term. do some of the perceptions linger and come back to harm whoever wins the nomination? >> yet, what was that a crucible of last night, david gregory, the crisis of who this party is, what that party is. you had that on fullsome, on full display. >> yeah, rubio feepd discovered google. i'm not a prude about this, neither is michael. but i mean this was a pit full display of political discourse. it really was a new low for 2016 and i think the brand -- the party has to deal with that because of the larger question, duh it actually change anything. when you get beyond insults, the ultimate question is did they land serious blows

author of "how's your faith, david gregory." and the house of representatives peter sellers and author of "too dumb to fail" matt lewis. great to have you here with us in new hampshire. david, what are your take aways from last night? >> such an exciting morning if you love politics. a reminder that elections belong to the voters. that is true. we now have a resurgence into new hampshire. new hampshire has a way of resetting the race as well. i think to your great interview, chris, bernie sanders effectively ties. whatever the final points are, effectively ties in iowa. strong showing for him. this is a shot across the bow for the clinton team. they needed iowa. she lost there in 2008. she got all of the barack obama talent on her side to make sure it didn't happen again. it basically happened again. you have to give bernie sanders his due. he made a strong argument for economic unfairness. he has made a movement in the democratic party. he comes into an area of strength in new hampshire. >> let's try to get david's mike working

ron brownstein and "meet the press" david gregory is here with us now. and executive editor mark no smile present. i have a for you, ron. put up the standings. i will do it in my head from memory. i'll do it from memory. there you go. this idea there will be coalescing around one and that, and only that, will allow you to go after trump. i don't see the map in favor of that now. if you take rubio, bush, kasich, you add them together, you cannot beat trump. i'm not giving you cruz because i don't think those people go to the candidate that you're saying would be the establishment. >> it's not clear there is going to be coalescing. we have pretty clear patterns. donald trump is transcending the previous races. strong across gender lines. he is running with evangelicals as well as nonevangelicals. donald trump in south carolina won 42% of voters without a college education. that is a remarkable number. the same he got in north carolina. south carolina was as much as cruz and rubio combined. on the other hand, if you look at the college educated voters on im

let's bring in david gregory. former moderator of "meet the press."u see and hear in those interviews? >> i think they were both important because just as you said, these governors have this new life. we came out of iowa and said rubeio is the big winner even coming in third with a strong third. he is going to consolidate that conservative vote. not so fast. this poor debate performance means that rubio lost some momentum. at least one of these governors is going to live to go on tasouth carolina and maybe farther from there. kasich has an opportunity to say to democratic voters in new hampshire come vote for the republican primary which they can do. this is a race where you can really make an impact. he has a more independent mind and message, more crossover message. bush distinguished himself like keeping the fire on donald trump as the guy to take down trump and be tough enough for clinton. >> is there anyway all three governors all live to fight another day after new hampshire in. >> i think it will be tough. if you are chris christie you want to

let's bring in george will, editor and chief, and david gregory, the form he moderator of "meet the pressr of the book, how is your faith? what about this, what's happening in south carolina? >> trump made a calculation that the only way to win this is to do what they did in the opening scene of the godfather. you have to take out the other families. take them out at the altar, the phone booth. i guess the only way to do is it to settle the score on globalism, bushism, the war. and he is doing it in a way that is really strident and really fonlds a lot of people but i guess he is banking on the fact that there is not all that much affection for the policies but a the love affection for the people, the patriotic side of the bushes. it is a risky strategy. right now, could it pay off? were all of these policies popular? when the bushes respond, they tend to go to donald trump is a reality star. he's not serious. i think the debate about these policies is a healthy one to have. was our policy toward china good? did it really work out? >> he doesn't want to relitigate iraq war or those decisi

former moderator of meet the press david gregory says mark rco rubio is g-- marco rubio is get too farconfrontation i don't want to go toe-to-toe with christie. let me take on obama let mow be a general election candidate. there's a lot of people looking at new hampshire saying this is a time when rubio can un fight the party and eliminate bush and christie and kasich. he didn't do that because he's playing over their heads when he didn't knock them out yet. he was trying to play in the general election in the middle of the fairway. it is too late for that. >> hilly clinton is under fire forced to defend her eye toies o wall street. we have the latest details on a former int rue that is haunting hillary. >> they tried to shift the conversation to the toxic water crisis in that city. she remains under fire for a issue, wall street money and also the cash she took for s various speaking fees. she defies any of the money ever influenced any of her decisions. her opponent bernie sanders is drawing attention to all of the wall street ties. she put out a fact check e-mail to reporters last w

guess what, not over. >> i'm going to save david gregory from himself. to answer without slipping into his impersonation of him. the war was not just a mistake, it was an intentional mistake. 9/11 was ultimately a reflection of your failure to keep america safe. what will george w. bush say? >> i think he will say what he said in the past, we did not see this big a thing coming. he will defend the history of it. but that said, i will tell you the bush campaign when donald trump made that argument really thought this time donald trump had imploded. because remember in south carolina there are a lot of military, a lot of veterans. and they thought that would turn people off at the polls. i will say one thing. the bush family showed a lot of love for one person in particular. that's the very popular governor of south carolina, nikki haley. she has remained undecided about her endorsement. but she's indicated that she does want to endorse someone. she visited with foreman president bush and laura bush. and you can be sure there was a lot of lobbying going on

so let's bring in now former moderator of "meet the press" david gregory.who don't have a decision yet, so they are undecided or uncommitted at this point. the other piece is this whole ground game idea. i was talk to go a party official who say look at trump's numbers in the polls. the number isn't as good. maybe they have better operations, the numbers come up a bit. the volatility on this day is principle among them. >> when we talk to people in new hampshire, like a lot around the country, they ever upset, dissatisfied. they feel they are not being offered solutions. donald trump is resonating on one level. but you had pointed out earlier, there is a cost to this tough talk back and forth. they are not really out there with plans, with positive messages and solutions that people are point to go. do you think that's a big reason for the nature of the function of undecided? >> well, some of this is just the sheer independence of new hampshire voters. that is such a big part of the culture and part of the history. i think that -- especially on the republic

joining us to talk about all of this is former meet the press moderator david gregory and chris.linton say? >> she is on her talking points. i thought that interview is revealing about the kind of candidate she is. this is not a political revolution that she is leading. she is very practical saying i'm in this for the long game. like me, don't like me, trust me, don't trust me. can you imagine me in the oval office? a lot of people say yes. it is not just democrats. i have talked to people in the military, corporate america. they think back to the clinton years and think it is not so bad. they know she is hawkish and practical. she specifically saying i don't have a simon and garfunkel ad. do you want to get something done. she is doing the long game. now she is ready to go long. >> the plus/minus is, the plus is i know how to organize. bernie sanders is getting a lot of enthusiasm but they are the left wing tea party, these people coming after me on his side. this is what i saw in 2008 with barack obama. i think there are big distinctions between bernie sanders and barack obama

we have david gregory of "meet the press" fame. cnn political commentator and anchor for time warner cable news, erol lewis, and maggie haverman. it does seem it is a big moment for hillary clinton tonight. your take? >> there is an argument to be made. no. i actually think this is an important moment. first of all, debates in general are such important moments in the course of this campaign. they are significant moments because they can change the dynamic of the race. we've seen that with marco rubio. look, hillary clinton's got to begin the rest of the race now. her whole argument is that, well, iowa and new hampshire, they are whiter states, more liberal states. the electorate becomes literally more colorful. it opens up for the democratic party. she's got to change her argument about not only taking down sanders and his policies, but also the rational for her connect to a wider part of the electorate, younger voters. she's got to change the way she's making her pitch. it is not working so well so far. >> i think we got a tell f

ron brownstein, and david gregory of "meet the press."t to know this, starting with you brother gregory, on the stage last night, we got to see the candidates addressing the voters. who do you think popped in this format? >> i thought marco rubio was very good and had a longer way to go, because he looks like he is robotic, of course, and then he had a moment with chris christie back in new hampshire, so i think he had a lot to overcome and i think he did and i think he showed people why he is seen as the future of the party, and has a sense of the room and is somebody that talks about his own background or can talk about race in a way that is very effective and show courage, you know, when he says he is for west coast rap over east coast rap, we're similarly aged so i know the era he is talking about and i think that shows guts. >> ron -- i should say, marco rubio does well in town hall meetings, and it's odd that he doesn't take questions from the voters. ron brownstein, i think both candidates had different goals. marco rubio tried to
