bob costa, what is the strategy embracing putin? if obama did anything along these lines, i said on a tweet the national guard would have to be called out by some governors because the upheaval would be so significant. how is trump able to pull this off embracing putin as a leader and seemingly turning a blind eye to what he does to journalists? >> i would hesitate to use the term embrace vladimir putin but trump certainly accepted his praise and when you look at foreign policy, trump is aligned with the more non-interventionist wing of the republican party. he's okay when it comes to syria, to letting russia intervene there, the united states not having ground troops in that conflict, and when it comes to human rights, he's not making that an issue with what russia has had with its own abuses of journalists and others. so you see him toeing the line trying to get the voters who are okay with russia, having a more prominent role in the world, and just taking it at that. >> kasie? >> i think to a certain extent, the people who are co

we talked to evan osnos, bob costa, michael crowley and nancy morawetz, mark halperin and john heilemann. >> this whole campaign is one person, one person coming up with a strategy, coming up with the speeches, the message, the policy. i don't think we've ever seen anything like this in presidential politics, one person just figuring it out as they go at this level. >> rose: we continue with al hunt on the story. al's guest former speaker of the house and now democratic leader of the house nancy pelosi. >> 91% of the time in the last few years a person on the terrorist watch list of the f.b.i. 91% of the time has been able to go in and buy a gun of his or her choice and walk out of the store with that gun. so that would also be more useful than going to the refugees. there is no more stringent process for people coming in to the country than as a refugee. >> rose: we conclude this evening with lisa randall, her book is called "dark matter and the dinosaurs." she is a physics professor at harvard. >> i want to write one book where you can talk about the evolution of the universe, the evol

let me bring in someone we can call on an msnbc news analyst, bob costa. you broke this story moments ago. it's a group of republican insiders that suddenly decided to start talking about a contested convention. how did this come about? >> they met monday night on capitol hill. reince priebus was there, and a group of long-time party hands, people that have been close to mitt romney, george w. bush, people going back many campaigns and said to the party chairman, you have to start to prepare for a brokered convention and have a strategy if this goes to a second ballot. what that means perhaps is having some campaigns if they decided to end, suspend their campaigns to throw their delegates somewhere. >> robert, two of the people in that room were mitch dannials, and former vice president dick cheney. >> this was the ultimate gathering of the republican establishment. it was strictly off the record, it was like a political fight club. but the word leaked out and it all became an event, because priebus started the meeting just talking about the rules. and peo

merlie: bob costas, tell what you think is going on. asked him earlier, is he doing this because he has strong and deep feelings about national security, or is he doing it because of political reasons and being the political candidate that he has been in this primary run? bob: when i asked trump about it, my sense was it came from a very personal place, his views on muslims and what is happening in the country. at the television reporting on what happened in california, and he said there is something happening with the muslim people. i said, what? i said, are you going to try to appeal more to them? he shrugged, said, maybe, we will see. no definitive answer. you also have to understand trump and the immigration issue during the summer. his base is concerned about people coming in, whether for economic or national security reasons. charlie: peter, you have written about the core of his base and a long, lengthy piece in the new yorker. what do you make of this, and what do you see from his base that you interviewed, and what has he becom

ana, there is a story in "the washington post," just broke this afternoon, from bob costa who's veryn with republican politicians. and he talks about reince priebus meeting with a bunch of republican officials, the topic of discussion became at one point preparing for a contested convention, a floor fight to block trump from bet getting the nomination. and what they were talking about according to the report is in case trump sails through and wins all the primaries, the republican establishment should get ready to try to block it on the floor of the convention in cleveland by presenting an alternative to trump. this is really the state of the republican party right now. >> i have no idea. i mean, i think that's a question frankly for reince priebus. i think there is a great deal of concern in the republican party when you see donald trump leading. and when you realize number one, he's been a republican for, what, a few years now. he's been everything but a republican for the rest of his life. number two, he's really costing the gop brand so much harm. there's a lot of us like myself

he sort of previews this idea of a campaign shake-up to bob costa of "the washington post." then he back pedals from it and says his team is spectacular. and now a week later, we have the two top aides leaving the campaign. >> well, there's many top aides, number one, you have to remember. number two, he didn't back pedal at all. he had 100% confidence in his team. somebody chooses to resign. that is not back pedaling at all. >> dean parker with the carson campaign, finance chairman, letting us know that there's been a new campaign chairman put in place. different from the campaign manager who resigned and also a new communications director. we're going to continue to cover this story of a massive shake-up in the carson campaign. president obama says a pretty sizable percent of world leaders are completely out of their minds. that's what he said. it's one of the tongue in cheek things you'll be learning in a really fascinating new episode of jerry seinfeld's web series comedians in cars getting coffee. the president's episode went live yesterday. take a look. >> are these wa

to read between the lines here because it seems like just before christmas, he -- carson said to bob costa he was looking at a shakeup and back peddled and said no, no, no my team is spectacular. awkward on the carson campaign with top officials saying hello, what were you talking about? do we read what is going on behind the scenes here? >> i don't frankly know what is going on but i think the big winner is ted cruz. ted cruz is taking a lot of web carson's falling evangelical support and the good news is carson continues to fall, i think you see then especially with mike huckabee not getting a chunk of the vote ted cruz could go up even a few more points and one of the key dynamics here now is to see whether cruise will be able to pull away from donald trump in iowa and i think carson's continuing collapse makes that more likely. >> what do you think, david, about this sort of thing we're seeing trump do? he's taking aim at ted cruz, who could be a threat to him clearly. the jeb bush one i don't get quite as much because he's farther down in the polls but continuin continuing. chris chri

as bob costa knows very well, this is an ideologically diverse set of voters that support trump.bit about that, bob, whether you think in some world, especially in a place like new hampshire, say, where there are independent white working class, middle-class voters if trump were collapse or dynamics were to shift. >> when i go to trump oand wheni go to sanders rally, both rallies bring up glass-steagall. >> inequality of voters. zin >> inequality of voters and inequality in the country. >> a lot of distrust of mainstream institutions, whether that's big banks, big media or big washington, establishment institutions. >> another thing that sanders did there as he raised this thing, trump got very upset and was tweeting about this, claim being sanders had lied when he said that -- when sanders said that trump said that wages are too low in this country, but i think the record does bear it out that trump has made that point on this show and on the debate stage. is that pointing to a vulnerability that trump has to deal with? >> i think it definitely points to a vulnerability. i think

. >> bob costa, obviously, there's a great gap between donald trump and between barack obama and you hear it every day out on the campaign trail about some of the proposals. what are some some of the proposals you hear on the campaign trail? >> is the president fighting the last war? i think you can extend the last race. when i talked to voters, one of the ways they talked about trump is they have almost a hard line view of national security. when it comes to intervention abroad following the george w. bush model he's departed. that's what makes trump deferent. he's not articulating his argument the same way his rivals are. >> right. as the general said, he didn't want 10,000 new troops, he wanted a couple thousand more troops. a lot of people in the military feel the same way. it requires us to actually, please, you ask the question, i'm going to answer it one more time. you don't listen. >> i'm listening right now. i have a response. go ahead. >> you got to hear what i'm going to say first before you have a response. >> okay, finish. >> as the general said, we have to build our coa

. >> bob costa, what are you hearing?difficult spot until someone like john kasich gets out of the race or the establishment lane becomes very crowd bush's path ahead is very difficult. >> kasie hunt, robert costa thank you very much. still ahead on "morning joe," pete williams with his reporting on the supreme court's decision not to hear a case on assault weapon ban and we'll get an update on how lawmakers are trying to change the gun culture on capitol hill, congressman mike thompson is trying to force a vote in congress while senator joe manchin tried to bring back his background track bill in the wake of the san bernardino shooting. they both join us next. you can't predict... the market. but at t. rowe price, we can help guide your investments through good times and bad. for over 75 years, our clients have relied on us to bring our best thinking to their investments so in a variety of market conditions... you can feel confident... ...in our experience. call a t. rowe price retirement specialist or your advisor ...to

costa, president of empire executions. interesting day, boys, interesting day. bobas telling us we're seeing these lower lows and every time we break through one of the levels, you see the sell orders kicking in, right? >> it's also -- i think there's a little bit of a liquidity issue here as we see stocks trade down. >> what do you think, tim? >> it's certainly support levels are being tested. the transport index has traded four days in a row now before the september lows, and the s&p 500 is right around that 2020 level which was both the mid-september highs and the november lows. there was a lot of technical things to look at. >> there sure are. we've been talking a lot about the themes that have been causing today's sell-off but going into next week, what does it look like do you think, pete? >> well, you know, we're very ba tha data dependent. a lot of people focuses on the fed -- >> isn't that a foregone conclusion? >> i think some of the portfolios are trying to aust to the potential interest rate hike. >> but why haven't they already adjusted? we've been talk
