jennifer: he ruled out rick perry as his running mate but said he liked rick perry a whole lot.rdere good issues. he doesn't want rick perry sbp but would love to have been in his administration -- have him in his administration. yesterday, he put out a lengthy statement think he would not talk about trump university. to talkingo move on about economics and job growth. a little bit, spend some time talking about trump university and how he has been mistreated in the case. hish is a reflection of remarks on the judge, but he refused to turn it into a personal attack. he said voters do not care about this, it is not a big case. actually try to turn the job growthn back to and economics. which is unusual for him. vonnie: do you get the sense that somebody -- he mentioned mitch mcconnell has spoken to him. jennifer: he did, but he said there are few people who called him to complain about his comments. he said very few. his decision to do that speech last night in westchester county was hiseleprompter decision come all about turning back to the economic issues and moving on. we aske

rick perry in a moment. first to jennifer griffin in san diego and john roberts in san jose where the campaign clash is going down. we again with jennifer. >> reporter: it was 35-minute speech here in balboa but didn't take hillary clinton long to come out swinging within the first couple of minute shoes hand throwing punches. a donald trump. here's what he said about his temperment. >> he is not just unprepared. he is temperment allie unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability, and immense responsibility. this is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes because it's not hard to donald trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin. >> hillary clinton went on to describe trump's obsession with what she called dictators. she said she'd leave it to the psychiatrists but then she went on to say that this is not a reality show. this is reality. being commander-in-chief. >> he believes america is weak. an embarrassment. he called our military a disaster. h

but it's not going to be rick perry. the other way everybody hams this is says, no, no, not interested, i like my job. i've buried myself in transcripts today in order to verify this. just this year in terms of vice presidential prospects this year. i think i nailed it down. there may be others. as best i can tell, by my best count, i think i personally have asked eight different possible democratic vice presidential contenders this year, i think i have asked at least eight different democrats this year, a direct question about whether or not they wanted to be considered for the vice presidency. and every single one of them was nice about it, flattered to be asked, thanks for asking, blah blah blah. not a single one of them said they want it. it's like they're programmed somewhere at potential vice president school. when you get asked potential vice president question, everybody make sure you all answer the same way so nobody can get any intel out of you whatsoever. it's uncanny. they all say exactly the same thing. i've

but it's not going to be rick perry. the other way everybody hams this is says, no, no, not interested, i like my job. i've buried myself in transcripts today in order to verify this. just this year in terms of vice presidential prospects this year. i think i nailed it down. there may be others. as best i can tell, by my best count, i think i personally have asked eight different possible democratic vice presidential contenders this year, i think i have asked at least eight different democrats this year, a direct question about whether or not they wanted to be considered for the vice presidency. and every single one of them was nice about it, flattered to be asked, thanks for asking, blah blah blah. not a single one of them said they want it. it's like they're programmed somewhere at potential vice president school. when you get asked potential vice president question, everybody make sure you all answer the same way so nobody can get any intel out of you whatsoever. it's uncanny. they all say exactly the same thing. i've

rick perry, scott walker and others raised and spent considerable sums. >> guest: i love that argument that's the notion that one or two exceptions somehow prove a rule. it is an absurd argument to make and frankly if there's any truth to that, then tell me why thousands of lobbyists in this town are maxing out as much money as they can to thehe politicians they are trying to effect and tell me why the wealthiest people in america are writing his shacks political medica process.ot if you could do nothing, why are they doing that? when it comes to jeb bush, the press from no amount of money will have the personality flaws of the candidate. it is to tiny little moment in time and trying to extrapolatetr there is something going on, shut them hold no water. >> host: issue on us or take the first call, i have a charge here. the darker blue up top, speakll about hillary clinton represent him. write here here represents candidate than committee money. you can see 76 million versus 180. we believe that to look at it for tax merion who is in virginia. democratic caller. good morning. >> good m

what every leader should be doing and i respect him and others like bob dole and other leaders, rick perry goes on and on that recognize the voters are what make up the party. >> michael, where do you stand on this? obviously donald trump hasn't had a great week or two and the democrats have been able to capture a lot of momentum perhaps or at least the cohesion. but do you actually, it seems like to the point of mike, if donald trump basically starts to follow the rnc a little more, a lot of republicans, if he doesn't give them reason to get farther away, they're going to stick with him. >> if they haven't gagged after so much, i am not sure what it would take under these circumstances. republicans are treating this like it is a normal cycle, like you have to make compromises, hold your nose, get past this difficult period. it's not a normal period. the republican party is determining whether they will run with a nominee that's made as a central part of his message an appeal to racism. that's a defining choice on the part of the republican party. and right now republicans are finding that

rick perry is good guy. he was nasty during the election. then he got out. i didn't speak to him. he endorsed me and said the nicest i think so and said that donald trump is maybe the smartest person ever to run for the office. that's a nice statement. a long way from where he was before. i fully understand what he is doing and what he did and i like him a lot. other people have said -- this is a very heated ballot. you would know better than most. but there are those that say it was the most vicious battle for the nomination that any party has ever seen. >> done, to every the years you have dabbled in the idea of running for president. is it what you thought it would be? >> it's more vicious. it's -- there is more lying and deception than ever. i never thought there would be this kind of lying. but the lying and deception. the smiling and then the knife in the back. i deal with tougher people because the business world at the top is tougher. but in a certain way, they are more honorable. the deceit and the disgusting media because the media is very dishonest not all of it of cour

former texas governor rick perry.nor, thank you for joining us this morning. >> welcome, sandra. sandra: it's a dark morning as we now learn that there are 49 victims in this massacre in orlando. 49 dead, the shooter dead as well. your thoughts this morning as we see the fbi carry out what is a very intense and detailed investigation. >> yeah. as the governments whether it's the federal or state go through the investigation, you know, there are things that the private citizen can do on this as we kind of get our arms around it and know where we can help, whether it's giving blood weatherby it's being able to donate to help the families of these individuals that we've lost. on a bigger issue, and you made reference to mr. trump and his remarks this morning, i think he's spot on when it comes to this issue of criticizing the current administration for the lack of vetting of individuals that are coming into this country. there have got to be better options than bringing in individuals from this country from whom we haven

and when i got out, governor rick perry was the governor, and you're such a good fellow, we will not make you a brigadier, but we can make you an admiral in the texas state navy. [laughter] dr. johnson: what is this? i am an army officer. mr. galloway: let's move along. vince cantu, tell us your story. joe, i should not have been there in the first place. [laughter] me, too.-- at the time i was married and had a little girl so i felt safe. but, i gathered all my papers, took them to victoria, where the recruiting station was, and i put all the information in front of them. i was sure i was not going to pass. three guys went, when guided not make it because of intelligence, and the other was too fat, so i was let in. [laughter] >> who was the one who had no intelligence? i should've said that. but anyway, they took me in. , my platoonant joe descent,was of german the squad leader. is a big old tree behind said what you doing? i have a daughter, and i have not seen her. i said that sergeant can't function, so we sent them to the back area. montgomery said, cantu, those squad is yours.

governor rick perry called the government back for a special session and they did pass the same law thenevery way you heard of to make it harder for women to access abortion, a good chance the republicans did it in texas first. that 2014 law requiing the standards to be built to the level of ambulatory center. and have privileges at a nearby hospital something almost no hospital would give them and dunn under the law the nation's second largest state dropped from 44 providers in 2011 to 10 clinics for 26 million people. and then republicans in state after state after state proceeded to pass some version of the texas law there after. while those various laws made their way through the courts abortion providers that rely on those clinics have been living in this limbo, could this clinic survive, could that be the next to shut down? >> three years after her 11 hour filibuster, wendy davis has been vindicated, after this ruling, some clinics will stay open and some shut clinics reopen. and they ruled decisively when they did, 5-3, they ruled the premise of the law that would protect women's

president, not the first of his kind, but will she succeed where mitt romney, marco rubio, and rick perryiled before her? that's next. but first, 29 days after donald trump was declared the presumptive nominee of the republican party, he has now finally won the support of house speaker paul ryan. while ryan maintained for weeks he was just not ready to endorse trump, this afternoon he published an op ed piece that declares donald trump can help make reality of the bold house policy agenda. he spoke shortly after with the associated press. >> i didn't know the guy at all before he got the nomination. quite frankly i didn't expect the nomination to be clinched until june 7th at the earliest. so i never had the time to put the time into talking with donald about just the country, about principles and policies. it's very clear to me that hillary clinton is in no certain way going to be advancing our principles and policies. she's promising another obama term. and it's also become clear to me through my conversations that donald trump's somebody i know is comfortable with these principles and

there's a very deep and long bench and whether it's, you know, governors like former governor rick perryr john kasich, john walk werer, nikki haley, i'm a big fan of, or if you want to go to the senate look at somebody like marco rubio, ted cruz or mike lee, former senator santorum. i could literally name 20, 30 good names. so many good people to choose from and i would caution people from looking at somebody who trump might have had a disagreement with somewhere along the way, whether nikki haley or governor susana martinez, when jack kemple picked bob dole, he picked something he crossed swords with for 20 years. john kennedy picked li eed lynd johnson. they'll pick somebody if it will unite the party. >> your experience backs that up. as a person of faith do donald trump the personal attacks offend you? calling elizabeth warren pocahont pocahontas. would you ever suggest he stop that practice? >> well, you know, any advice that i have for him i consider him to be a good friend, or any other candidate, something that i'm going to offer to them in private. i would say in general i would

. >>> now back in july of 2013, then texas governor rick perry signed into law strict regulations on abortion clinics that forced many of them to close. president obama says he's pleased by the ruling. the high court everturns the corruption contradiction of former virginia governor robert mcdonnell saying he accepted gifts and loans in exchange for a diet supplement. >>> and coming less than a year after pulling artificial sweetener of pepsi as a marketing move. aspartame linked to cancer in mice. >>> the vote you know, caused the pound to plummet causing prize money to femme by nearly $300,000. even though it increased its prize money to 2 million pounds, this year's winners stand to take home close to $60,000 less in 2015. >>> given how much money they earn, i'm sure they'll be able to make ends meet. that's the news update. >> and they get to play in london, at an historic time, sue. >> absolutely, they do. >> where else would you probably be? >> sue herera with the news update. >>> coming up on the program, value hunting, where the fund manager is buying the dip and parts of the

rick perry called him a cancer now he's saying he's wonderful.are in a sense, people have written this, they are basically affirming everything he said about them how quickly politicians will fishtail to get to the right place. the republican party is getting behind this candidate. >> i think senior republicans decided didn't have an alternative. he had won the nomination, he's going to be nominated at the convention. i think one thing we're seeing is a battle for the post trump g.o.p. that's why you see them come out say, i'm going to -- paul ryan among them, i'm going to endorse them. but i have totally different vision on all these issues like immigration or the muslim judge or the mexican judge or the muslim ban. because they want to define -- want alternative vision of the republican party to offer once this election is over. that is on the assumption that trump is going to lose. because winning the nomination is is a different electorate than they face now in the general election. this is a much more diverse electorate. it's a much younger

and rick perry said, trump's candidacy is a cancer and chris stewart went to say, trump is our mussolinind will vote for him two months later to the day. charlie is joining me now, a regular contributor to msnbc. nice to see you again. >> thank you. >> to be clear, you are not a fan of donald trump. you have not yet flipped at all. this morning you tweeted, i warned you, if you embrace trump, you embrace every slur, insult, outrage, falsehood. key republican leaders this week strongly condemning his language about the judge and the mexican heritage judge involved in his case, reince priebus, newt gingrich, they are still supporting donald trump. where do you stand in all this? >> that's why hard never trump is better than a soft never trump because you don't have to carry the water. i was trying to warn these guys you won't be able to thread the needle. this is what paul ryan and others are doing. somehow you support donald trump for president of the united states but yet distance yourself from the bizarre things he says. this is a real test for the republican party. can the party of lin

rick perry and scott walker the first to see the writing on the wall. >> i will suspend my campaign immediatelymartha: graham and pataki were up next. but they thought things would change when people started voting. they were wrong. >> desire for an outsider along with anger toward the federal government are two big things driving republican voters. huckabee, paul and santorum were done, but new hampshire was huge for the businessman. then like dominoes a deep bench of strong gop candidates with a wealth of experience in government started to fall. >> we are going home to new jersey tomorrow. jeb bush promised to win in south carolina. >> in south carolina we'll do really well. he was gone before the polls even opened. super tuesday was the final straw for dr. ben carson. >> i will still continue to be heavily involved. martha: and the never trumpers started to panic.omney broke hie with a full-on trump assault. >> donald trump is a phoney, a fraud. mart * but none of it mattered. marco rubio was the next to go after a crushing loss in his home state of florida. ted cruz the last man standing t

bill: former texas governor rick perry.in the governor's chair in november of 2009 when fort hood ripped through your state and ripped across the country it was called workplace violence by the white house repeatedly. what have we learned since then if anything? >> we learned it wasn't workplace violence it was an act of terrorism and an individual we identified who had pretty close ties back to some of those in the islamic state. i think that really gets to the real crux of this, bill. we need to have our agencies of government, particularly at the federal level working together to identify this individual in orlando who was investigated twice. a host of disturbing issues are coming up out of this. bill: donald trump is responding to this and hillary clinton did a number of interviews. here is what trump is saying. is president obama going to mention the word "radical islamic terrorism"? if not he should resign in disgrace. what happened in orlando is just the beginning. i called it and asked for the ban. must be tough. wi

. >> governor abbott and rick perry endorsed trump.sidering in 2012 we raised over 25 million in texas. i do want to say one things to donors expressing hart burn over this week's comments about judge curiel. it is about donald trump's messaging i think is brilliant. take a step back and look at it, compare i had on one hand to ted cruz who was consistent with his messaging but didn't incite any passion. trump on other hand is provocative. throws a statement out there -- charles: you're okay with the comments? >> well, to a degree. charles: you're from texas. houston, i think houston's population is vehemently anti, gone completely other way. dallas, this is something you think would play well in texas, particularly future, gop future of the party? >> well, we hope so. we need all, some of the hispanic voters we're going to lose in california, possibly arizona and texas with the independent voters coming in and i think today's story will tell the tale. i think he will do extremely well in the six states and with that, he will be able t

>> well, first, the national finance chairman for rick perry, jeb bush, marco rubio, carly, all downe all signed up to be involved in the campaign. so i think that shows enthusiasm for him across the entire platform of republicans. connell: so the money that's going to be raised is going to reach the mark of whatever that mark is? this is like a billion dollars, as trump has mentioned, or does he have to raise fewer dollars because he gets all the free media still and people talking about him in the press and interviewing him all the time? does that affect the way you guys raise money? >> look, there are a lot of numbers that have been thrown around. the reality is we have a short period of time to raise money. the rnc has got an incredible infrastructure built, so it's not going to take the kind of dollars that past campaigns have taken to achieve the results that we know we're going to achieve. connell: what's your pitch to, say, someone who is a little skeptical as some, you know, more traditional republicans -- some republicans in general have been, to your point, some have come

was going for his third term when dirty tricks undermined his campaign and someone by the name of rick perryecame secretary of agriculture. there's little doubt in the minds of observers that jim hightower would have been the next governor of texas and then who knows where. it's important to remember that he was in most of the great battles over the last 50 years in the arena of progressive politics as a citizen, a candidate, an elected official and now it's almost an exaggeration to say that he's our one remaining legacy from the days when serious talk was combined with wry humor. and so i don't know whether he's going to make you laugh yourself serious, but here's jim hightower. [ applause ] >> thank you so much, ralph and each and everyone of you for tuning in through cspan for this public interest powerpalosa that ralph has brought together. ralph ask that i do a bit of an overview and historical perspective midway through today's marathon of presentations. these innovators, organizers, motivators, range across a wide range of issues as we've learned this morning, more to come momentaril

when obamacare got past, our governor at the time, rick perry, denied access to the funds that obamated to send to our state, the highest uninsured state in the nation. one of the problems with this whole thing is a profit motive. there are certain industries in our country that should not have a profit motive. the criminal justice system is one and the health care system is another. we have a profit motive and the people lose. host: anything to add there? affordable care act get hospitals paid for the quantity of people coming in and focus on the quality of care. that trying to provide goal. lorton, virginia, employer insurance, you are on the air. morning, this health savings account thing is just another way for the republicans to satisfy wall street. it's hard enough out here and i make good money and i have a couple of kids and we are barely making it. the health savings account only benefit people who are wealthy and can afford it. host: let's talk about how this health savings account works. plan wase republican to expand those. we will see more next year. the plan is to take

governor rick perry out of texas. you know, he had firsthand experience with ft. have a big two hours coming up starting at 9:00, big and important here in orlando. >> to your question, they don't to want fight our guys trained to fight them. they want to fight the people just living their lives. these are gutless terrorists. >> that will hit again and they listen to me, the weapons that they use will get better, more lethal, they will use bombs, they will yutz weapons of mass destruction eventually, this is an existential threat. this is the biggest threat facing the united states. >> gary called in earlier, this is the cold before 9/11 if we don't pay attention, we could stop the next one. thanks very much. we'll be watching you all day. >> back to you guys. >> all right brian. >>> president obama using with the terrorist attack to push for more gun laws, also the terrorist who murdered 49 innocent people in an orlando nightclub, not the real enemy. at least if you ask some on the political left. peter johnson jr. is next. before i had the shooting, burning, pin

there is a cry not only on the rick perry side but democratic side with bernie sanders support of peopleork. the status quo of us electing guys that went to harvard and yale and the same guys on wall street are going to put the same guys in the treasury department, going to put the same members of the club in to protect the club like they did in the 2008 crash. they don't want that and if barack obama doesn't understand that he's not connected to the country. he needs to consecutive the dots. >> i would argue hillary clinton and president obama could make a very strong case for what has been accomplished and what has been prevented in terms of the economy over the past eight years. there clearly is a big gap in the middle class growing and hasn't gotten better under their watch. that's where donald trump has tapped in but he's not going -- at some point he has to go a little deeper. he doesn't even have to go a lot deeper but he has to go a little deeper as to how he's going to get people there. >> how he's going to get people there. believe me, i'm going to make it great. that seems to

about a week ago called ted cruz lying ted again and took a shot at rick perry.debacle over the last 3 days. >> you know what -- steve this is one thing that people like about him, we talked about this earlier, yes, he has gotten himself into trouble. many times, thus far. >> many times. >> every time he emerges stronger and stronger. because americans are say, this is a guy who is not on script. they like that. >> that might have worked in the primary with a smaller group of voters, but we're talking about the general elect, about the media focus hing on donald trump's record. you need your troops marching, donald trump is not uniting the republican party, he is dividing it. i wake upive day, looking for a reason, waiting for reason to vote for donald trump. he is more worried about getting bernie sanders supporters than my vote. lou: this is lou, you know you are hardly a guy known for going with the herd, you are an independent thinker, and respected as such for being, i am a little surprised. trump represents a disruptive force in washington they believe the

former texas governor rick perry will join us on that when a moment turns romantic why pause to take a pill?
