chuck wallace is director in emergency management. do people here understand the cascadia zone, do they understand the risk? >> i think they do >>> to get a better look at the challenges facing coastal communities, he took me up an observation tower on the coast. >> i think once the tsunami waves come and they will be coming from right where you're looking at right out in front of us, you're just hoping you can get to higher ground >>> even though roads are marked with tsunami evacuation roots, he says the earth quake that proceeds the tsunami will maybe the roads undrivable. that means walking to higher ground. the math is not encouraging. a tsunami is likely to hit within half an hour of an earthquake. the high ground from here in west port is a 50-minute walk. in case you were wondering, wallace says this tower would not survive a tsunami. there's more. a tsunami isn't like a wind generated wave, the kind you see at the beach. they're caused by the sea jerking upwards causing a massive wall of water. >> the wave is vines and vines

let's focus in on the state of weeks to go from the iowa calkouses with chuck todd and amitchell and here in the studio nicolle wallace and mark halperin and managing editor of bloomberg politics and msnbc commentator steve kornacki. >> segment is over with all of yours resumes. ted cruz has launched a missive -- excuse me, trump has launched a missive on ted cruz's eligibility to run for president. do you think this is s sething that will have appeal with conservative voters, or does this have the feel of kind of throwing everything at the wall? >> i think it's a distraction. i think, you know, watch today when -- when thehealk radio circuit who has been very supportive of ted cruz, and any time there's been a split between cruz and trump they have sided with krumptz i suspect unless they somehow turn on cruz on this issue, i don't think this is going to be an issue at all with conservative voters. >> nicole, let me turn to you. where's myth romney. when is he going to endorse a candidate in this ration, and >> i think he's wise to stay quiet because the age. arbiter or the referee in republican politics is long gone

chuck grassily and form presidential nominee bob dole piled on, calling it cat chris mic for the republican party. >> for the very latest on the presidential race turn into fox news sunday with chris wallace where this week his guest is florida senator and gop presidential hopeful marco rubio. >> in washington, fox news. >> we have a broken immigration system and both parties admit it. we'll show you who is really paying for it. >> the represents throw me out, the >> we'll show you what went wrong and how it could swing the race to the white house. watch money, power and politics sunday night at 11:30. >> about 6:28, it is a cold start to our sunday morning. those winds from yesterday, they continue to relax. it's still cold enough that it's below freezing in brooksville. bundle up. winter haven, 35. we're officially 41 in tampa, it is 47 in sarasota. there is a wind chill involved. slight breeze still so you combine that with the current temperature and it feels like 37 in tampa. make sure you're warm as that wind 9:00 a.m. rain chances and storm chances only 55 today. stay check this out, bro. what's that, broheim? i switched to geico more savings on car insurance? yeah bro-fessor, and

wallace. john heilman, and in des moines, iowa msnbc political analyst. host of mtp daily, chuckere. something just happened. let's see here. guys. chuck todd, do you have any reporting on you or heilman or costa or anybody getting disinvited by the republican national committee? i just got something that that's being thrown out there. >> that's what happened when they endorsed christie. >> bob, you've got a lot of good friends. they put out an against trump issue. >> a manifesto. >> front to back blasting donald trump and they were going to be co-sponsoring the debate. i've got jack fowler, again, a good friend of mine and yours who said he got a call from the top g.o.p. official and was against trump issue. have you heard about this, bob, what can you tell us? >> no, i've been speaking of sources in the conservative movement for the last 10-12 hours. this happened late last night. the rnc reached out to jack fowler and said the against trump issue that comes out today from nr was across the line and nr was disinvited from hosting the debate that was suppose to be with cnn in a

nicole wallace, what are the other remaining, big-ticket endorsements in this race? who are they? >> well, i think if you go back to, i guess chucke c group. i think that if john mccain decides to endorse somebody after his friend lindsey graham got out, i think that would be impactful, particularly as we see the middle east by all objective analysis, a bit of a crisis still. and you see the threat of isis. i think john mccain is still a well respected voice on all matters of foreign policy. you know, obviously bush, the most recent republican president is in the jeb camp, but if this goes on, if this ends up at any point being back to a head-to-head collision between the outsiders and the establishment guys, you could see endorsements like mccain or someone in the bush family mattering. but i don't think we're going to get there. i really think that trump and cruz are so far ahead of the rest of the group, that i think in the near term, you'll see more of these sort of oddball endorsements, the duck dynasty guy, whose name escapes me, sarah palin. i think that an endorsement from an establishment figure is the opposite of what t
