our invited guests today, crist matthews, susan page, and another member of our white house team, kristin welker. we heard from the president five years ago, so striking to see the aging process that takes pre-president into five years into the presidency. he said this is our moment, this is our time. what is the significance of this time, this moment, as he makes the remarks. >> i'll wait to hear what he has to sake but clearly the relationship between the east and west is troubled, and everything is about the united states and what we're you will to. our relationship with israel, you know, you have to understand that the soviets, when they were the soft yen action have had a long allied relationship with syria. here we are trying to many tole that government, and we're surprised the guy has a frown on the face? let's how talk about how we're going to bring down your alliance, and we're chatting about it as if we're having a college dorm room conversation about it. of course he's upsit. i'm amazed they're open to the conversation. it's their ray lie. if they were trying to topple one of

crist matthews and "hardball" is next.. >>>8 >>> can anything stop hillary? do you think she'll be the next president? two, she must survive the caucuses and primaries without suffering undue damage to the clinton brand. bill will have to do hi part in that. three, she's have to weather the all-out assault of the party and the wing that will be out to destroy her, villainize her and her husband. finally she'd have to defeat the republican candidate for what could be 16 straight years. so i go back to my first concern. will hillary run? here's what i think. i don't think it will be easy. i think surprisingly tough, perhaps even frightening, but i think she's make the run. it's what's she's been going for since she spoke out at the wellesley commitment, not when every road sign points to 1600 pennsylvania avenue and you're the one on the road. >>> jonathan al der is author of a new book "the center holds." larry salve itch, two experts here. today hillary clinton made her first major appearance, speaking at the clinton global initiative out in chicago, where sh

crist matthews and "hardball" is next. . >>> good evening. >>> back on the stand, for the second day. rachel jeantel, described as the prosecution's key witness, underwent a long and grueling crocks in the trial of george zimmerman. zimmerman, of course, is accused of murdering the unarmed trayvon martin last year. the defense attorney don west tirelessly worked to try to discredit the young woman who was last to speak to martin moments before he was killed. and in fact, as he did yesterday, west exposed a number of inconsistencies in her efforts to describe what happened that night. what is not as clear is whether west managed to manage the core of her story, that george zimmerman stocked her. joining me now, lisa bloom, and former florida circuit court judge alex ferrer. judge alex, is she as integral to the prosecution of this case as we have all made her out to be. >> she absolutely is. she was the key witness. she was talking to him at the time of the confrontation or right up to the confrontation. she provides a lot of detail that the prosecution would love the jury to believe.
