donald trump was rambling. it was random thoughts on the world according to donald trump.ade no sense, he basically insulted everybody in one speech, insulted bobby jindal, mitt romney, insulted the campaign and republicans and went on to talk about his money. so his was not the speech that i think the cpac folk were expecting from donald trump. it wasn't even entertaining. he got very tepid response, polite applause at some points, but that was about it in a half-full room. >> she staus talks about a half-full room. trump frs the e hero two years ago. here's how it went down then. >> if i run and if i win, this country will be respected again. this country will be respected again. i you that. >> it is like a super bowl-like cheer and the headlines then, it is like the mirror image of tonight. fox news, trump elective if i had cpac, "huffington post," all right, i'm not just doing the fox news side of things, trump cpac speech stirs buzz, meaningful endorsement from huffing post. and politico, cpac to trump, this was before he launched his all-out assault on the president'

. >> already seen donald trump. >> donald trump, he's nothing. >> mitch mcconnell. >> conservatives were never meant to be part of the cry baby caucus. >> the gop identity crisis on full display. >> case of the old versus the new. >> we don't need a new idea. there is an idea, it is called america. >> the gop of old is steal. >> i remain haunted by the experience of the 2012 campaign. >> i am tired of the hammering. >> how does the party move forward. >> as someone that lost the last election. >> start with mitt romney. improbable not in the best position to chart the course. >> cpac not strongly supportive of romney. >> i left the race disappointed i didn't win. it is up to make sure we learn from mistakes, my mistake. >> if mitt made one mistake, he didn't talk enough about his success. >> guess what, i made a lot of money, i have been very successful. i am not going to apologize for that. >> how stupid is that? >> there's a certain schizophrenia in the party. >> we can't keep doing what we're doing. >> opinions are all over the map. >> i reject pessimism. >> the can yulturculture. >>

and donald trump goes, "a floating head!? that's great!"a. >> and everyone else sits silently. >> jimmy: where's lisa, mary-lou, your team -- like, no one said anything. you're just sitting there going like, all right let's think about this. and everyone's like, let's not think about. floating head. then, i got really tricky and then i go, "oh, that's it, dee's going home." >> yeah, yeah, yeah. i was a dead man. dead man walking. >> jimmy: i was bummed out. >> and i'm faked bummed, like i said. >> jimmy: yeah, i know -- but i'm genuinely happy to come back -- that you came back. >> it's an odd show though, because when you get fired, you still get paid. >> jimmy: is that right? >> yeah, it's great. >> jimmy: that's kind of fantastic. you got to want that. [ cheers and applause ] dee, i wanted to give you a little chance to get back at donald trump. what we do is, even though donald trump fired you, we thought we'd let you turn the tables tonight and fire him. so, here's how it's gonna work, we're gonna give you a donald trump digi-wig. -- a

now to the issue of donald trump. boosted your ticket sales.t be overshadowed by his birther talk? let's take a listen to trumpy. >> i would like to have him show his birth certificate, and can i be honest with you? i hope he can. because if he can't, if he can't, and if he wasn't born in this country, which is a real possibility -- i'm not saying -- i'm saying it's a real possibility. much greater than i thought two or three weeks ago. then he has pulled one of the great cons in the history of politics. >> a lot of people want to see his college transcripts. they're not looking at his marks, his grades, was he a good student? they want to see, what does he say about place of birth? >> there's another participate of yours at the cpac convention you're hosting and inviting people to. texas congressman louie gohmert, a co-sponsor of the house birther view. here's how "the new york times" described him saying "mr. gohmert has compared homosexuality to bestiality, endorsed a column likening barack obama's presidency to adolf hitler's dictatorship.

not something most people can identify with. >> right, but he -- so did donald trump earlier. >> trumpd. trump comes in there, nobody's there in the morning, of course, to see him. and he says the problem romney had, no one else would have thought of this, he didn't brag enough about being rich. >> yeah. >> how can he make a message? flaunt it. he started off by saying, hey, i made $8 billion, why doesn't this guy brag about it more? that was his political advice. donald trump. >> if you take political advice from donald trump, you're going to be in worse shape than when you started out. i mean, there's no question about that. but, look, i don't think -- i don't think romney showed any move toward moderation in his remarks today. i listened to the whole thing, and, you know, it was the same old romney. it was the, you know, the usual sonorous cliches about america. i mean, one of the things that was striking about his remarks was that he, again, was sort of extolling america's military adventures abroad. the week of the anniversary of the iraq, you know, huge mistake, for him to do tha

said what he said today, the republican party would have said, like, can it donald trump.? that would have happened? >> you can't control candidates. they have their own campaign. so we will leave it at that. as a national party we want to set the right tone as we engage communities as we work to build rapport and relationships and diverse communities. >> thanks so much. glenn mccall akaucalccall. twenty-five thousand mornings, give or take, is all we humans get. we spend them on treadmills. we spend them in traffic. and if we get lucky, really lucky, it dawns on us to go spend them in a world where a simple sunrise can still be magic. twenty-five thousand mornings. make sure some of them are pure michigan. your trip begins at michigan.org. new griddle-melts to yourime usual breakfast sandwich. a lot more flavor.

donald trump is the main speaker of the event. that should say it all.he tone was set very early on, reverend. they closed the door on groups like go proud, on republicans that have a strong stand on immigration. so the tone was set very early on that they weren't going to open up their tent to everyone within the republican party because frankly to move forward we need to have donald trump. i mean, heaven forbid we need to have the donald trumps, go proud, independence. everyone should be a part of a group like this and it was sad to watch this all play out. for the most part, i didn't hear a lot of new ideas. we mentioned that this was a time where people should be talking about new ideas for the republican party in the 21st century. fram frankly, i thought rubio presented a worst case for that. he didn't really talk about evolving on any issues. he didn't even bring up immigration. the one i was most surprised with was rand paul. he was talking about banks too big to fail. there was a lack of ideas overall. >> now, dana, one of the things that was int

cpac's invitation to donald trump led michelle malkin to tweet, cpac is dead. the conservative editors of the washington examiner who are actually co-sponsoring the event write, cpac flouts conservatism's rich intellectual tradition by inviting such a trans parent crackpot, a celebrity huckster with no history as a conservative and no knowledge of conservatism. virginia governor bob mcdonald as well as the most popular governor in the country, governor chris christie. that promoted one of the cpac's scheduled speakers to say this. >> i don't know what the purpose of cpac is anymore. i don't know how they define who gets to come in and who doesn't get to come in. my sense is that the board is not very open and not very clear about whether it's personality decisions or what they're thinking. you can say, well, chris christie is invited for x, but you can also look at his record on controlling spending and reform, new jersey government and say, he has a story to tell that's pretty interesting, and for a northeastern governor in a heavily unionized state is pretty

if you want to have donald trump, fine, have donald trump, but chris christie, too, have an argumentand fight and let the best argument at the end of the day win. >> there are 23 names on this straw poll that they will be taking later this evening. included on that list, dr. ben carson who is coming up shortly and we're waiting to hear him speak and listen to what he has to say and the only one on the list that hasn't served in political office. what do you expect to hear from him. >> he's been certainly quite a phenomenon. some of us have known about him going back a couple years, but recently, as a result of some speeches that he's given, people are paying a lot more attention to what he's saying and a lot more attention to the message sort of broadly of american conservativism that he embodies and i think that people look at his qualifications and the fact that he's at johns hopkins and has had such a distinguished career in medicine, and look at, you know, his own circumstances and say, this is somebody that we should be be taking some direction from. so i completely expect him t

>> donald trump's new celebrity target. >> he is a jerk. he has been a loser over the years. >> it's the world according to trump to lindsay legal mess to the pope. >> are you ready? >> fergie's first interview since breaking her baby news. is she quitting the black eyed peas. and extra's beauty by the numbers. >> three amazing before and afters of the hot new face lifts, no surgery required. >> "extra, extra!."

supposed to select who you bring back with you who will be fired. >> absolutely. >> jimmy: and donald trumpinging back with you?" [ laughter ] "what two people will you take back with you?" and you say dennis and -- and brande. >> brande, yes. shame on me. yes, i did. >> jimmy: i was like -- and arsenio hall was, like, a guest. >> oh, he was so surprised. >> jimmy: he was like, what? [ laughter ] and i was like, "wait. i don't get this at all. why not -- why didn't you bring omarosa?" >> i kept saying over and over -- "i'm getting her back. if i lose, i'm bringing her back. i'm bringing her back." >> jimmy: but the whole team had your back. >> i was bringing her back, and then, she started those crocodile tears. and i thought donald bought it. >> jimmy: he did. >> i go, "oh, my god, if he bought that, he's not going to fire her. what do i do now?" it's like a catch-22 for me. do you understand that? >> jimmy: if i'm in that room, i guess. yeah, because watching at home, you're like, "this is a no-brainer." >> jimmy, i tell you, that room is so much pressure when you're there. especially at

it says that donald trump tweeted, sarah palin did a great job.t she said was plain old common sense. so they haven't recovered totally over there yet, angela. >> no, they haven't. and he's wrong. it was plain and old. you know, reverend, at the end of the day these folks have got to acknowledge that even if reince priebus goes all jerry mcgwire on us, he loves black people and everybody else of color, we don't believe them. i know nowadays they're starting to understand jay-z and the lyrics. i'll give them a lyric. we don't believe you. you need more people. i'm just saying. >> let me go back to you, jonathan. but don't quote beyonce. it seems like the only thing the gop can unite on, though, jonathan, is the hatred for the president. one of the authors of the rnc autopsy said today, quote, we've got a socialist in office right now. how's that working for us? so they're still united in this venom against the president. look at governor scott walker. he was talking about the president. it's the same old makers and takers rhetoric even from the est

they are inviting donald trump. >> when you mention trump and sarah palin.bble-rousers rather than a spiritual place where deep thought can happen, and that's fine. they'll get the headlines, and they'll sell a few tickets, but what's worrying for anyone with serious national aspirations of the republican party is that this is alarmingly close to the mainstream. that's the problem. >> well, there are sure to be big tweets if not big thoughts of donald trump. >> are you going to be there? >> i'm not going to be there. i think they've built a wall to prevent me from being there. i will see you tomorrow at noon eastern when i'm joined by former obama deputy campaign manager stephanie cut ar, chris hayes, melissa harris perry, and kim, and buzz feed's ben smith. until then, you can find us at facebook.com/now with alex. andrea mitchell reports is next. this is $100,000. we asked total strangers to watch it for us. thank you so much. i appreciate it. i'll be right back. they didn't take a dime. how much in fees does your bank take to watch your money? if your ban

and they're saying, donald trump he's nothing. >> oh, mr. trump, i would never say you are nothing.ou are quite something, indeed. joining us now from the center of this three-ring circus. anna marie cox, correspondent for "the guardian." with us, msnbc political analyst, professor michael eric dyson. anna marie, you've been right there at the heart of it. all. i hope you've had time to catch your breath after mitt romney's blistering heart-stopping speech this afternoon. what have been the highlights today at the gaylord hotel? do tell us. >> actually, mitt romney's speech was interesting. i guess actually, you know what, it really says something that mitch mcconnell was the one who really brought energy to cpac. i think that, you know, yesterday had a lot of energy when rand paul was here. he really got people on their feet. today his has been more sedate, even though it's more people that are supposedly running for president in 2016. actually i just want to point out, behind me, it was really, really empty about 15 minutes ago because the panel was about outreach to minority and

you had people like donald trump speaking to an almost empty room. does this compare to prior cpacs? do the members and activists that usually come, are he they losing interest or doing something else to help their party? >> i thought the vibe at this cpac was different than what i felt in the past couple of years. there was generally speaking a pretty pervasive anger among a lot of the activists that donald trump was offered the stage while some others weren't. not that there were a tremendous number of conservative activists who were big chris christie fans, but there was a general rejection of donald trump which certainly didn't surprise me. a lot of folks wondered to me why in the world he was given time at cpac as opposed to the governor of new jersey who allot of conservatives despite some disagreement think has done some very good things with the state's fiscal situation. so i think this is sort of the calm before the storm, perhaps, for republicans. >> what's the storm, shane? what's the storm? where is it going? where is it all going, and wh

and the scene from donald trump's speech this morning. just say, it wasn't standing room only. how about seating room plenty? here's a question. if it's a bad sign if you spend your cpac speech, is it, trying to point out what's craziest? enter wayne lapierre, ceo of the nra. >> if you aren't free to protect yourself when government puts its thumb on the freedom. then you aren't free at all. they call us crazy for holding fast to that belief. they can call me crazy or anything else they want. and they say we're crazy? that's crazy. crazy. crazy. it's as if sanity, itself, has been sequestered in washington. >> crazy. that's the word he likes. that's what we're hearing. see what i mean? >>> finally this week in conspiracy theories, is ben affleck a secret undercover government operative as in the present day version of character he played in movie "argo" that came out this year? the iranian government is not pleased with affleck's oscar winning movie which tells of the escape of six americans during the iranian hostage crisis. this week an

they are more like donald trump.t this point, the core of their party are people whose core value is resentment. resentment against immigrants. resentment against minorities. and holding on to this economic philosophy that says give more and more tax breaks to the rich and the poor are bums. if they can't change that core problem, they can't add to the republican party. because most americans don't think that way. >> picking up on what you said -- >> chris, i want to add -- i would add to what joy said is even if the core isn't a majority of republicans, that base dominates their thinking. best example, the senate judiciary vote on universal background check. 93% of americans and all 8 republican senators voted against it. they know better. they're afraid of their base. until they can stand up to that base, until they can say to that base, look, we need a broader look at this and we're not going to kowtow to you on every issue. until they can do that, they're going to be a minority party. >> you mean by the base, peo

but they do have donald trump, a birther.tells you the republican party doesn't feel that they have a problem with who they are, they feel, yeah, we got some marketing problems but they like who they are. they like being the party of the john birch society because they're invited. they don't want to reach out to gay and lesbian people, because they're not invited. this is the pear being itself without the handlers telling them what to do. >> dana, when i looked at the time break-down, because i do -- congress is not too many conservative ones. so you kind of look at these things. this is very interesting because it shows the mess they're in. rick santorum gets seven minutes. paul ryan and marco rubio get 11 minutes apiece. bobby jindal and rand paul, rick perry, scott auguwalker get 13 minutes apiece. how about this, donald trump gets 14 minutes. and sarah palin, yes, sarah palin, gets 16 minutes. the keynote speaker, senator ted cruz, for 33 minutes. and chris christie, the most popular republican in the country, not even in

>> who in the world is to say what donald trump really believes?ason people act the way they do in large part is because there's a base out there. you know, i also think that there's a kind of reverse part of this equation which is the characters like donald trump, like a lou dobbs formerly on tv. there are a number of people out there who are essentially acting as transmitters. who are bringing ideas from the very, very far fringes of the society into the mainstream. so we've got birtherism, we've got birthers. all kinds of conspiracies. >> i'm hearing the same music from the more sophisticated and least sophisticated. but it's all the same. the country's turning brown and black and you're becoming irrelevant -- and gay. it's not all the messages of trump. he sells the idea our president snuck into this country and pretended to be who he is. and it's all a fraud. i think that's dangerous talk to. >> i think it's worth adding how -- >> one of the things we're seeing here on both sides of the political spectrum and it's important to recognize that,

mitt romney, sarah palin, donald trump. people irrelevant so far as the party. >> obviously they're irrelevant. i want tickets to all of them. >> john: that's why they're not irrelevant. >> there is a difference between a freak show and being politically relevant. bob mcdonald is relevant in the sense that he could appeal to some people but not necessarily a serious candidate in 2016. he would not sell tickets. but he is relevant. >> john: i think it's going to come down to who is as good of a public speaker as hillary clinton in 2016. that's w

in 2011, it was donald trump who was jeered after mocking ron paul. he used that to flirt with his own presidential bid and last year it was this line from mitt romney that, well, stole the show. >> i thought against law and odds in a deep blue state but i was a severely conservative republican governor. >> romney will have his swan song at cpac also on saturday at 5:00 p.m. releasing the results of the straw poll. no one wants to make too much of any straw poll. do note this. interesting trend. the last three gop presidential nominees either finished first or second at some point in their bids at cpac. romney finished first or second every single year in the cpac straw poll from 2007 to 2012. up next, pope francis begins his first full day at the vatican. we'll head live to rome where the first latin american pope and first jesuit is sending a strong message about change in the church. >>> and karzai clash. the strained relationship with the afghan president and what it means as the u.s. tries to wind down america's longest war. first, a look ahead a

and left that mantle to the inimitable donald trump. and unspoken advocatory for white immigration to this country, european immigration. >> for his russian oligarch friends and the judges he knows in monaco. >> ha does it mean that marco rubio did not talk about his signature issue? >> curious. i don't know, and i don't understand why. i thought that that would have been the perfect opportunity to frame the argument going forward. to bring the base, the core, the activists to the table on the signature issue that he is crafting and working with the democrats in the senate, and the white house. to put before the nation. part of the immigration issue within the gop is that you have a bifurcated process, the leadership is moving in one direction and the other is base is sitting there going what are you doing? so there has not been this connection made to bring the base into the discussion in a way to avoid all the crazy noise and sound bytes that feed the media frenzy, and further characterize caricature the gop. and that's been part of t

mitt romney, wayne lapierre, donald trump. about those names? >> what strikes me about those names is that for the most part, they're on the extremes of american politics. cpac has been described as the militant wing of the republican party. and that's true. the question is, is this what the republican party really needs? is this the time for more militant wing? is this what american citizens are asking for? or are they asking for just the opposite? >> marco rubio got one of the prime spots today. he talked a lot about small government. he talk about conservative principles. he even made a number of water jokes. one thing he did not talk about though is immigration. even though it's been one of the biggest issues he's working on right now. what can we make of that omission? >> we can make of that omission, that he is going to trim his sales, depending on what group he speaks to. he didn't have the courage to talk about immigration to a group that is not pro immigration in the least. that's one of the troubles that the republic

when you have figures like donald trump as your headliners. >> reporter: in fact many of the party's own critics say that they will not start winning national elections until conservatives inside the room start reaching out to people outside the room including people like rob portman for whom gay marriage is no longer an abstraction. it is now personal. brian? >> andrea mitchell in d.c. tonight. andrea, thanks. >>> a twin engine private plane crashed into a parking lot in ft. lauderdale this afternoon leaving a mass of burned cars along with the wreckage. piper navajo was taking off from ft. lauderdale executive airport when witnesses heard the engine stall. all three aboard the plane reported killed. no injuries on the ground. >>> more trouble to report tonight for the popular carnival cruise lines. three of its shipsave had serious problems this week alone. this comes, of course, weeks after the nightmare trip on the vessel "triumph." our report tonight from nbc's gabe gutierrez. >> reporter: thousands of carnival passengers on the move. >> it's not the best way to end a vacation.

donald trump and sarah palin are done. put the fork in them.co rubio and the day groups and they are not inviting them. >> they haven't this year. will. >> that depends on c-pac wants to be if they want to guide future direction of republican party, the answer quite obviously no. donald trump has a bigger role than chris christie is absurd. but if you want to sell tickets, you have probably done are right things. and some who realize those two things aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. and ran paul proved that. stand on principles, be smart, get people's attention. it takes someone with backbone to enable it. >> interesting. next question, the world welcome as a new pope. pope francis. in the united states, the number of people claiming no religious affiliation is at an all-time. many associate organized relingon with outdated social norms. >> i saw your talkback question earlier and the question suggested this decline in organized religion has coincided with the rise of religion in politics, that's simply not true. religion and politics hav

donald trump is speaking. neil king is there. off by saying the country is in very serious trouble and so is the republican party. >> that's how he started his speech. the best and the brightest there for the g.o.p. one of thing you will appreciate 100 years ago today that woodrow wilson gathered up 100 reporters and held the first formal white house press conference in 1913. you carry on that fine tradition. >> bill: but president obama is out of town today. >> the first question he took was from helen thomas. >> bill: congressman, "new york times" did an interview with speaker boehner yesterday. the headline is boehner stands firm on spending and taxes. he told them that there is no need to change their position from what it was last year in terms much the issues we talked about, no new revenue, cut social security, cut medicare medicaid and he said those ideas were not to blame for their losing the election. it was because mitt romney was a bad candidate. so a little sense of denial here, do you sense? >> well hasn't somebody

they're no donald trump. you probably saw donald trump announce he is willing to pay for the white house tours. i think they wanted to -- >> he offered a week, and i offered a week, donald trump is -- >> brought to you by sean hannity. i'll give you a tour. i can point out the lincoln bust that nancy reagan used to love. back in the day -- >> back in the day -- >> -- go to dinner with me. why won't you talk to me, sean? >> i know one way to get into the obama white house, if you donate 500 grand you get quarterly meetings. >> that is not true. >> that is not true. that's what they advertise. i'm going to give you a d-minus. >> that's a passing grade. >> all right. >> my friends will be mad at me. sean hannity gave you a passing grade. >> i'm being charitable. >> i have a football in any house which you signed on which you said i'm a great american. >> you're a great american, just wrong about everything political, but i got roll. see you later. >> so, tonight, if you missed cpac today, we'll have highlights f
