i had known condi for 20 years. you know, you have a comfort with people, and you have confidence with them, and there's a presumption of good faith. and it really helps things get done. secondly, and i'd say the president, and i'd say the national security adviser, the inner agency process in the nsc is the president's -- the president has to take responsibility for it. if it's not working and it's dysfunctional, the president needs to fix it because nobody else is going to be able to fix it for him. thirdly, i think i would say to them, yes, get consensus, if you can, on lower level issues among the principals but take it to the president as a check because the president may not agree with the consensus. again, the national security council does not make decisions. it prepares decisions for the president to make. that's who the country has elected to make decisions. so, yes, work on consensus on lower level issues but bring the consensus to the president. and on the big issues, bring him or bring her options and l

it was a group of about ten of us headed by paul and condi rice. we spent a lot of time on the phone and in meetings and developing positions for the candidate and i got to know -- i had known condi from before, from bush 41. i had worked with paul with bush 41 and they asked me to be a part of the team and i was delighted to do it. when it looked like the president was going to be president, condi called me up and said, well, if this comes through, i'd like you to be deputy national security advisor, and if it doesn't, you can go back to practicing law. there it was. >> talk with us if you could about how your role as the national security advisor changed over time. you're serving as the deputy for a period of years. you obviously evolve over time and agrgrow in your role and yoe tapped to be the national security advisor. talk about your develop over time and how your relationship with the president evolved over time. >> one of the things that's interesting is that i had a very close relationship with condi rice when she was national security adv

condi, though -- no, i just -- so condi's a hawk, but hillary's an interventionalist.ook about condi ryice. i'm confused as to how condi could be a hawk and hillary is not in the obama -- it doesn't make any sense. >> no. still ahead, pennsylvania is a possible game changer for the gop delegate count, but even if donald trump wins big, could he lose most of the state's delegates? yes, he could, if the system is a scam. >> oh, boy. >> it's rigged and deserves being destroyed and torn down, brick by brick by brick. >> we're going to bring in msnbc's delegate hunter, jacob soboroff, ahead on "morning joe." the call just came in. she's about to arrive. and with her, a flood of potential patients. a deluge of digital records. x-rays, mris. all on account...of penelope. but with the help of at&t, and a network that scales up and down on-demand, this hospital can be ready. giving them the agility to be flexible & reliable. because no one knows & like at&t. quite like the human foot. introducing the 241 horsepower lexus is 200 turbo. with almost twenty percent more base horsep

i said, good news, feet down, so he walked back into the room, and the president said, condie? she said, feet down. that was a long night, a long night. arm caption, you mentioned you don't think they should not be -- not it's intent, could you comment on the size of the ncs right now and what it does for interagency relations right now? >> the nsc has gotten larger over the years, and there's something -- some roechbl explanation for that. after 9/is 1, the on piece became so much more important, and we didn't have the kind of interagency -- on the domestic side. so some of the growth maid sense. they don't always communicate for the way they need to do, and what the nsc has to do. you've got to cured nailed and integrate across the stovepipe. you know, you want to have a small group of people, president to be organized the i would have task force, five or six different offices, but if your nsc gets too big and you get stovepipes one the nsc that mirror the stovemines, you won't be able to integrate that it's your job to try to overcome. so my preference was always have more i

bush in 2000 didn't officially do this, but he basically -- everybody knew that colin powell and condy rice and a whole bunch of people were going to be part of his administration. they went around the country. they were at the convention. it's not a crazy idea. >> what exactly does carly fiorina add to the race because i mean if trump beats cruz in indiana, we're going to -- will we see enough to stop trump in california? fiorina lost to barbara boxer in the senate race. >> i don't think she add az ton to the ticket. she's a respectable woman. i loo oak her a lot. ted cruz is flying desperately to shore up his base. last night, ted cruz lost among very conservative voigters. he's try tock win the base at this point and carly fiorina is someone who can allegedly bring in the base. >> go ahead, ron. >> ted cruz is someone who is very deliberate in this process. he went through a very, very long list of potential vice presidential running mates. >> the question was, what does carly fiorina add to it? >> that's what i was about to say. this is someone who can serve in the office of presid

if john kyle, condi rice more conservative, you know what, this guy is or woman is a seriously -- it's hard to come up with a name. >> bill kristol does not want donald trump to win at all. like anyone else, they're praying for a contested convention. why are they have a hard time coming up with the answer they're begging for. they want the scenario, they need a white knight, why can't they name them? >> it's hard. they've ran and failed. they're out. a lot of people think that. you need to be someone who the establishment will like and the tea party will like, and who trump and cruz, if not themselves, at least some of their forces would say yeah, that person would be really good. i've been racking my brain. i brought up dick cheney, i was laughed at. bush 41. to me, it's ryan. kristol. >> did you say bush 41. >> yeah. ryan is the answer. nobody else. >> i don't know why it's so hard to answer that. for a lot of republicans, i don't know why bill kristol has a hard time with it. paul ryan is the likely answer. the only one. >> the ryan people will beat me up and say it's not going to

they -- you know, if it were condi rice, they would know what to expect. if they were john bolton, they would know what to expect. but they don't know what he really stands for. and that's the biggest point of conventi contention. >> it's interesting you brought up trade. that's the one thing he's consistent on. he has not tried to have it both ways on tpp or deals with china or nafta or anything like that. it certainly means, i assume, that the wto might become relevant for the united states if there is a president trump. >> it would become very relevant. but, i, one of the things, it's going to be extraordinary for me. if he goes down the path that he is saying that he's going to go down, which is to renegotiate these trade treaties, oh, my goodness, it's going to be -- it's going to be a real battle. >> well, what would happen -- >> multiple countries including very close allies, right? >> close allies. i mean, this is something that is just -- clearly, donald trump is tapping into a great sense of anxiety in the country about the impact that trade has

aides to condi rice. i think that what's going on will be resolved. and obviously, all of us will go forward knowing what we now know. making sure that no one can raise any questions in the future. >> confident of victory tuesday? >> i'm very hopeful. i love being in new york. i love campaigning in new york. downstate, upstate, everywhere in the state. we're going to work as hard as we can. i want to elect democrats. i'm raising money to elect other democrats. i'm a democrat. i want to see us take back the senate. i want to see us have a very strong showing in the house. i want to take back governorships and state legislatures all up and down the ticket. so, i want to win in new york. of course. and i want to secure the nomination but not just for me, i want to bring along a lot of democrats because i want to protect and further the progressive agenda that president obama has worked for and that i believe in. >> secretary clinton, thank you for joining us. >> good to talk to you. thank you. >>> let's get a response now from senator bernie sanders. he'

the time he's a teenager, and graduate to a wheelchair and then make that qulun--young man prone to condis like consoleio circumstance ofnlg requiring surgery to correct it. as the muscle continue to deteriorate, that young man will lose lung function, which puts him at even higher risk of infection, pneumonia, eventually he'll have to use a machine to help him breathe to clear his lungs, and the muscle deterioration doesn't just occur to the skeletal muscle, the muscles of the arms and lerks it can also occur to the heart, which is itself a muscle. so when a young man with duchenne's multiple sclerosis catches a cold it could be life threatening. even when the patients get the best medical care. and so many of them do get the best medical care. they usually lose their fight against duchenne's multiple sclerosis by the time they are into their 20's. so that's the devastating reality of this disease and we cannot all

even against wishes of some of the other members of the administration like condy rice. there was also now a growing to play down the threat posed by terrorism. when it's coming from clinton administration officials were unheeded or cast aside. they had other priorities. by contrast a more effective strategy, need look no further than the bush family. george h.w. bush announced a pause in u.s.-soviet relations and believed it was necessary to take a step back and reflect on the tactics and the policies between the u.s. and soviet union, but the assumptions towards the soviet union and whether they could trust in the leader and whether or not the strategy and so forth and so on. many historians look back on this as a wise decision that helped calibrate the priorities moving forward. gave them great confidence to not involve themselves in the revolutions that swept across in 1989 and let them really sort of understand and reflect on the goals they wanted to achieve and the best way get them. they are taking a break and pausing and reflecting that can actually be affected.

>> if john kyl were five years younger, if condi rice were more conservative. could imagine after six or seven deadlocked ballots saying this guy is a serious leader of our party. i think if cruz does well he's more likely than not to be the nominee. if he doesn't, i think either trump or a deadlocked convention. >> look at this new quinnipiac poll out of pennsylvania. trump 39%, cruz 30%. kasich 24%. >> see, that's interesting. and what if -- this is why the kasich thing is important from last night. if you had said to us three weeks ago what is wisconsin going to look like? we would have kasich is going to be a big contender. if he's not a credible alternative, if he's -- only of ohio, of 30 states that that have voted, if he's not credible, do some of those pennsylvania voters who are with john kasich go to cruz? does that back 40-40 race in? pennsylvania? people were saying two weeks ago that's a trump state. >> you don't know whether they go in the northeast to trump or whether they go to cruz. it's really fascinating. it will be remarkable. >> the one thi

even against wishes of some of the other members of the administration like condy rice. there was also now a growing consensus among historians that this policy led some in the administration to play down the threat posed by terrorism. they very much believed it was necessary to take a step back, not only reflect on the tactics and the ongoing policies between the u.s. and soviet union, but some of the most basic assumptions about the u.s. foreign policy from the soviet union wlrks the united states could trust in mikhail gorbachev, where the strategy was sound. many historians look back on this as a really wise decision. one that helped calibrate the administration's priorities going forward. gave them great confidence to not involve themselves too much in the revolutions that squept across eastern europe in 1989 and let them really sort of understand and reflect on goals that they wanted to achieve. >> so all that is to say taking a break, pausing, reflecting can actually be effective in this political climate. i think there's real virtue to it. the second theme that e

>> condi had more than that, and also hillary clinton traveled to more countries than any other secretary countries. >> that's right. they made a big deal at her going away party about that. >> 112 countries for secretary clinton at the te. >>> coming up, a pope's blessing. >> a little girl losing her sight meeting pope francis. how her parents reacted to the incredible moment that's going viral. >>> and later, janet jackson surprising announcement. postponing her tour yet again saying that she's now planning a family. but the big question, is she pregnant? >>> but first, a look at today's temperatures. you're watching "world news now." >> announcer: "world news now" weather, brought to you by american advisors group. an advisors group. hey spray 'n wash is back...ews? and even better. it's powerful formula removes everyday stains the first time. which is bad news for stains, and good news for you. spray 'n wash. back 'n better. protect your clothes fromout in tstretching, fading, and fuzz.. ...with downy fabric conditioner... it helps protect clothes from the damage of the wash. so your

i was asked by condi rice and paul wolfowitz to come down to sit in on a meeting and brief then-governor bush. that's how i got started to know him.

and colin powell and condi rice, when you leave the secretary of state office, people from all kinds of perspectives want to know what do you think is going on in the world? i think that's actually a useful conversation. so like all my predecessors, i gave speeches to a wide variety of groups and it was, you know, predominantly about what's going on in the world. i probably was asked the most common question i was asked was to talk about the raid that went after osama bin laden. i mean, people are really interested in what you see and what you understand about the world when you come out of that position. >> lara has another question. >> i do, indeed. i'm here with william cobb from philadelphia, pennsylvania, one of the huge states up for grabs next week. he says currently undecided. possibly leaning towards sanders at the moment. what is your question for secretary clinton? >> secretary clinton, first of all, congratulations on your recent victory here in new york city. >> i served six years in prison for robbery which is a violent crime. upon my release in 2000 i worked extremely
