endorse him. >> would you?dividual. i think he's a unifier, he's a leader. but not only that, he's a person that helps create jobs which are one of the issues that -- >> that's what people really care about, jobs. >> the inner-cities of america and meeting minorities across this country, they're hungry. they need to eat. so we need to have a person that's going to create jobs for people in america. we need to stop seeing color and look at creating jobs. >> to me, the political process -- >> you cannot say -- >> hang on, bishop vaughn, you have the last word. >> all right. >> to me, it's a concert. i was invited to the concert. the choir was singing and i have not heard my hymn yet. i heard the sermon, i'm waiting for the song. >> bush yop, go ahead. we'll give you the last word. would you endorse donald trump? >> no, not -- no, sir. >> i can't believe you. >> not in this life. but i will say this. if he was to become the nominee and you were to win the election, i would support leadership. i support leaders. bu

he is an endorser.hat was more important in that video you just showed was the woman off to his left, i guess, stage left, which is open omarosa. >> who is actually is herself a pastor. omarosa has become a minister. she is is actually one of the pastors at the event. and the interesting thin for donald trump is that will omarosa who is well-known, of course, to america through "the apprentice" endorse donald trump because she would be the high endorser, not pastor scott, who is not well-known. >> well, she was on this network on one of the weekend shows in the morning, months ago, saying, no, she wouldn't support him. he was a democrat. so there's there's video of that somewhere in the tank here at msnbc. but, so, here's donald trump in his big appeal to broaden his base today. >> so i think -- >> many, many endorsements that came out of the meeting. i don't think we have backlash. i saw love in that room. i saw love everywhere i go. >> are you going to change your tone going forward? >> well, you know

the union can endorse anybody i was, does not mean that anybody individual cannot endorse someone elsey individual who is in that meeting has the opportunity to make up their own mind. but the coalition itself has been very supportive. john: it point we can then expect whatever group decides collectively your campaign to roll out thousands of endorsements from the individuals in the group who have all endorse mr. trump? thehen he believes coalition is ready they will release the names of those have endorsed his campaign. -- howaslinda re-think soon do we think that might be? >> that be up to mr. scott. mr. trump has been the front-runner in almost every poll in iowa for many months. tell me about what you are doing. iowa is a different kind of state. as a caucus date graded very different from a primary state. it is different from what you have to do to get people to show in february.night you have a ground game in iowa. talk about what you guys are doing to convert is pulling strength into actual votes. >> first and foremost we went got the man who ran the campaign for rick santorum.

, some of these endorsements aren't necessarily helpful. particularly when you look at -- >> is it like chicken soup, it can't hurt? >> but doesn't necessarily help. if i'm donald trump i don't want union endorsement because that's part of the establishment. last thing i want is an establishment conservative newspaper to endorse me. i'll differ with my friends here on the panel. i think donald trump will turn south. you look at his numbers in south carolina, he is running further ahead in south carolina. i think he will do really well in south carolina. when you talk about the south, you talk about a part of the country where xenaphobia. >> he is making fun of this new york reporter, claiming obama is actually a foreigner. >> that doesn't hurt him down south. >> fact checks don't mean anything. fact checks inside the newspaper don't seem to bother anybody. >> it's more the anti-immigrant, the anti-hispanic stuff is going to -- that plays amazingly well, bizarrely in south carolina, where it's a right to work state a lot of people feel consc

this guy who ted cruz is so proud to have endorsed him, he's touting this endorsement as a reason to vote for ted cruz for president, this guy troy newman to this day maintains an online list of names and addresses and up-close photos of individual abortion providers for the convenience of the anti-abortion movement. do you know anybody who works at a planned parenthood clinic? know anybody who works as an abortion provider? have you ever checked any of the anti-abortion extremist websites to see if they're listed there with their photo and their address and everything? so all the candidates are going to get asked about a terrorizing attack in a multiple murder like this. and you would hope for the best. you would hope for leadership and compassion and good judgment from a leader on an issue like this. specifically in this case, when we don't know anything from police about what might have motivated the attack, you'd hope that nobody would get out over their skis in terms of assigning meaning to events and actions which are as yet officially unexplained. but ted cruz, alone among the

endorse. for me, though, we understand what the optics mean, especially as a candidate, and what the appearance gives. so i think in that regard it troubles me a little bit because i come from a particular tradition of social justice engagement and prophetic engagement and there were those who said they needed to hear what mr. trump had to say to determine whether or not they would endorse him which i thought was strange. we've heard a lot from mr. trump already. and things that disturbed me that we're at a critical time in the history of this country, where there's so much division and there's so much bitterness and we see it in the events that have taken place over the past year and a half, especially around race. to see someone who has a platform that is increasingly i think divisive and gives the hint of racism, even fascism as some have stated, is troubling to me. but on one hand i don't dismiss it at all. not just because of his high numbers and ratings he's getting but i don't dismiss i

endorsement. communication workers of america. now, if you're a republican that's not a big deal. that's not a big deal. >> i think what we are seeing is a lot of grass roots support in union after union throughout this country. that support has not necessarily tripled up to the leadership in some cases. i know about the cwa is that your endorsement is not just a paper endorsement and not just a press release endorsement. we're going to have thousands of people on the ground knocking on doors and making phone calls and helping us as we do what needs to be done in this country and that is create a political revolution. >> welcome back. that was presidential candidate and bernie sanders with his endorsement. one of the largest labor unions in the country. 700,000 members strong. workers are in the tell con media and third labor endorsement. it does tail behind hillary clinton who has received 18 national labor endorsements. joining me right now is the president of the communication workers of americ

touting the endorsement of troy newman. as i mentioned, he runs an organization called operation rescue. the person with whom he runs operation rescue is a convicted clinic bomber who's spent time in prison for having tried to blow up an abortion clinic in san diego. this guy who ted cruz is so proud to have endorsed him, he's touting then dorisment as a reason to vote for ted cruz for president, this guy troy newman to this day maintains an online list of names and addresses and up-close photos of individual abortion providers for the convenience of the anti-abortion movement. do you know anybody who works at a planned parenthood clin snik know anybody who works as an abortion provider? have you ever checked any of the anti-abortion extremist websites to see if they're listed there with their photo and their address and everything? so all the candidates are going to get asked about a terrorizing attack in a multiple murder like this. and you would hope for the best. you would hope for leadership and compassion and good jud

they were not pitched this was an endorsement.lot of confusion when donald trump spoke about it yesterday before the meeting. he said he was told that the meeting would happen as an endorsement. his campaign put out a press release that would occur afterwards. that is when a bunch of the people involved in the meeting said hold up. that is not what we signed on for. with the controversy leading into the meeting, even if some of them endorsed him, it looks off for the trump campaign to go through that mess. >> donald trump cracking a joke about waterboarding. i want to play that and come back to you. >> i said what do i think of waterboarding? you want to go a step further than waterboarding? i'm okay with that, too. >> in the past, trump said he thinks waterboarding is peanuts to compared to what they do to us. comparing to isis. >> once again, donald trump is known as a straight shooter who says what is on his mind. we haven't seen anything really from donald trump yet that we see from typical politicians where they hedge their b

more on the endorsement, ray? pledge saying if he is elected, he will protect police officers by sentencing every cop killer to death. trump was in portsmouth picking up the endorsement of the executive council which voted to endorse trump in the race for president. the support was offered during a private rally in portsmouth. trump says too many officers are killed in the line of duty. if he becomes president, he will sign an executive order mandates the death penalty for anyone that kills a cop. the president says trump's recent comments about muslims did not factor in to their vote. >> do you have any muslim -- >> i'm not going to get in to this. this is a religious -- i'm not going to get in the to the red -- rhetoric. we supported the candidate. we're on board. ray: hundreds of people did stage a peaceful protest outside many holding signs with messages like love your neighborhood. as far as the polls go, according to most, trump continues to hold a double-digit lead. live in manchester outside of trump headq

also a coveted endorsement for , gop hopeful chris christie. the potential impact on the presidential race. announcer: the inside word from beacon hill. : it' s time to go "on the record." annissa essaibi george. she recently beat longtime city at-large seat. a little background -- she' s from dorchester, a first-generation american, whose father immigrated from tunisia and mother was born in a polish refugee camp in germany. she' s also a boston public school teacher with 4 sons in the system, and a business owner. your teaching is on hold. annissa: thank you for having me. election of andrea campbell, who charles yancey, a sign of something big here in boston? >> i like to think it is the boston. we want a city council that is more objective. what i bring to the table as part of that is my time as a schoolteacher. the four members at large are women. were you surprised by this massive change? annissa: it was surprising. during the campaign, you do not pay attention to the noise happening around you. you are focused on your work on hand. i get

ted cruz racked up a number of good endorsements, significant endorsements over past couple weeks.ll out trey gowdy well-respected among republican grassroots. he is a fighter using his prosecutorial oversight role to ask tough questions in committee. this is something obviously rubio people are excited about. one caveat, do endorsements matter that much? seems political rules are out the window but will this make any difference? melissa: this is narrowed down between a race between three people. i wonder how you see that playing out? this is more for rubio. puts jeb bush further behind. you see trump, rubio, cruz really pulling away from the rest of the pack. >> i will always debate endorsements matter especially from someone like trey gowdy for someone like me worship at altar of trey gowdy. we americans, especially conservative americans owe him a great debt, everything from the benghazi committee everything happened from that to consciousness of american public. he is good antidote to trump. i think there will be a lot of progress made. melissa: jedediah? jedediah: i think hatr

andendorsed mike huckabee, then you endorsed rick santorum in your endorsement is 2012.red to be a high-value. neither one of those guys went on to win the republican nomination. what makes you think this time around you have a better judgment about who can win the republican nomination than the last two cycles? bob: take a look back at 2008 and 2012. we selected huckabee and santorum, and the country selected mccain and romney. i believe we got it right. the country got it wrong. -- 4ast "bloomberg west election winners have come out of being winners in iowa. i think this time ted cruz has shown he has the resources which huckabee didn't have. he has the infrastructure to go the distance once he gets behind iowa. we could not be more excited about ted cruz's candidacy. even with our announcement we are seeing people give calls and e-mail saying we are on board, tell us what to do. if i i believe -- tell me was told incorrectly, you said earlier in an interview that marco rubio is trying to straddle a couple of different lanes. what does that mean? what are the lanes? bo

warren has yet to endorse any candidate in the 2016 race. nbc's kristin welker is with the clinton campaign in montgomery, alabama where clinton will help mark the 60th anniversary of rosa parks' bus boycott later today. kristin, was there an official statement, official word from senator warren as to why she was not at that event? >> reporter: tamron, she didn't respond to requests for inquiries about why she didn't attend but she did underscore the point that she hasn't endorsed anyone yet. secretary clinton really trying to flex her muscles with that event last night getting the official endorsement from 13 female senators. it is significant though that senator warren didn't show up. she is the champion for the progressive branch of the democratic party. a lot of democrats wanted to see her run for president. she of course decided no the to do that but she has certainly weighed in on the debate. fact that she wasn't there underscores the fact that secretary clinton still really struggles when it comes to court being the more liberal branc

how important is his endorsement now and where may he be heading with that endorsement? the question is -- it's about more than just an endorsement, right? john mccain could put his finger on the scale if he decided, hey, this is my candidate and i'm going to spend most of the month of january and february in new hampshire campaigning for this person. as kelly o'donnell smartly pointed out earlier, he does have his own race in arizona, so he has to tread a little bit carefully. he's had this ongoing problem with his own right flank. he was censored by the republican party in arizona. so he has to be careful of that as well, but he's also somebody who obviously focuses very much on the bigger picture, cares about the overall direction of his party, was the former nominee. if he decides not only is he going to endorse but also work really hard to get that person elected, it could make a real difference. i think mitt romney also, same goes for him. we've seen some questions about how he might involve himself in this race. he's somebody who frankly has a ton of goodwill in n

he was endorsed as i recall by the number two for dr. martin luther king and that surprised a lot of people in the day and this is certainly the kind of thing my old boss jack kemp would do. so the fact that donald trump is doing this i think is a very good thing? charles, a, do you think this is good and there is this disconnect between trump saying a few days ago maybe a black lives matter protester deserved to get roughed up and trying to do a cell on this or saying he has wide spread support. >> i don't know what this is to be honest about it because i think that any person regardless of kind of religious affiliation or race has a right to endorse whoever they want, however, to come to a person like, you know, mr. trump who has said some incredibly negative, even vile things not only about african americans but about immigrants and about muslims, about women and this is not just about this cycle. anybody who has any kind of historical memory or a search engine can find all of the things that mr. trump has said about people who -- kin

the group itself didn't make a formal endorsement. vander plaats says cruz is the most consistent and principled conservative who could win the republican nomination. the evangelical leader endorsed mike huckabee and rick santorum in the past but felt it was time to move on. 4:59:53 this time i really believe i am seeing leaders that i'm already visiting with that coalesce and unite around senator ted cruz i also see the infrastructure that ted cruz has, the resources that he has to be able to go infrastructure that ted cruz has, the resources that he has to be able to go the distance. 5:00:09 i believe and truly expect ted cruz will be the nominee in 2016 5:00:14 this is the second big endorsement from an iowa conservative. u-s representative steve king threw his support behind cruz last month. republican presidential candidate marco rubio joked that he wasn't going to drop out of the race after failing to get vander plaats' endorsement...although, he did admit that he would have liked to get that support. but rubio spent most of his

but she hasn't quite endorsed, has she? people know her from television. she's obviously close to donald. but she says she's a democrat. i noticed her there yesterday. but i was listening carefully, and she never got around to saying, i'm going to vote for donald. >> i think there was one clergy member who came out and supported him. but not much progress coming out of that meting. >> it was a little odd because they hyped it in a big way. 100 black mensters are going to step forward and endorse the campaign. >> and then wah-wah. ellis henican, time too short. >> great to see you. >>> just ahead, today is giving tuesday. find out what you can do to give back, up next. opportunity has no slow season. no off-days, or downtime. opportunity is everything you make of it. this winter, take advantage of our season's best offers on the latest generation of cadillacs. the 2016 cadillac ats. get this low-mileage lease from around $269 per month, or purchase with 0% apr financing. i tried depend last weekend. it really made the difference between a morning around the

and in overdrive, hoping to make his move after several key endorsements in a state where establishment moderates usually do better against outsiders. >> how seriously do you realistically expect to win in new hampshire? >> even the loyal republicans who will be voting in the primary and the independents who decide to participate, they're just starting to tune in now. >> reporter: still, even though insiders, christie, rubio, bush and their supporters have spent a combined $47.5 million on tv ads, the candidates spending less are doing better. just $3 million spent by carson, cruz and trump. who's kicking off december in the lead. >> the establishment knows it, that's why they are generally in angina mode, where they're having many heart attacks, day in and day out, trying to figure out how the hell do we stop this? >> reporter: trump has proven unstoppable so far. warning rivals he's the biggest obstacle on the road to victorv. the finish line in iowa getting closer. >> there's only one way you get to the top and it's all through trump, let's face it. >> that was hallie jackson reporti

but these endorsement problems don't seem to be hurting either candidate. hillary clinton, according to the politics average poms is still about 25 points up over her closest rival, bernie sanders, and on the republican side, donald trump almost ten points above the rest of the republican field. pam? >> all right, thank you, doug u. doug live in washington. >>> president obama is now in its second day in the paris climate change summit. today, president obama met on the sidelines of the summit with the president of turkey and other turkish leaders. besides climate change, they spoke about the ongoing crisis in syria. president obama urged turkey to reduce tensions with russia u. the two have been at odds since turkey shot shot down a fighter jet. turkey claims the plane was in its aerospace. russia says the plane was flying over syria. >>> governor brown attending the climate summit. he's expected to show the success california has at reducing green house gas emissions without negatively impacting the economy u. the governor is part of a delegation of state

folks likon jonie ernst has not endorsed a candidate.o as a candidate can pick up those endorsements maybe more than one, two or three that can be helpful. if anyone is in a position to pick up a majority it's probably marco rubio, tim scott has done everything but endorse marco rubio. so maybe tim scott will be the first domino to fall. >> nearly all the republican candidates plan new hampshire stops between christmas and new year's. in years past it's been quiet in new hampshire. but the new hampshire crowd this year why? in part it's because of the widely held view that ted cruz looks pretty solid in iowa and his rivals are looking for a chance to win elsewhere. there's a sense if donald trump loses iowa and his winning brand is called into question there could be a big and sudden resuccessfuling in new hampshire. marco rubio's team knows its candidates snopt leading anywhere and hoping to generate a surge. and take this one as you wish, two veteran new hampshire operatives working for other campaigns says they are seeing signs it may

have said they'd never had any intention to endorse mr. trump. this originally began as a small beginning and all the participants were planning on endorsing and then the committee said to all the pastor. >> are they former obama supporters are is that his message? >> i believe he garnered interest from both political parties as he is a polarizing figure. at the meeting i a said he is a divider by looking at him as a unifier because no candidate would have had that many african-american pastors from all over the country. >> what kind of numbers does this represent? one hundred pastors in a room could this move the needle if he becomes the nominee? >> i think he will. blacks are not aware that the republican party has done more to events civil rights than the democrats have never done. the republicans introduced civil-rights legislation as far back as 1851 george wallace was the democrats bill and hillary clinton belong to a country club that denies access. even joe biden said barack obama is the only clean african-american to run. >> he wa

we didn't endorse him. a day after the event, and i'm paraphrasing here, but he said pretty much dear joe, your event sucked, everybody said so, they said i was really smart not to do it, and by the way, when you get around to it, please endorse me. >> i just want to go back to what you said about the polls. you said they are bunk, you don't believe them, but if you look at the polls, he's not leading by a few points, joe. he's got a pretty strong lead in some of the polls, double digit lead in some of those polls. so do you think that something can happen between now and primary day that will be able to knock him off of that pedestal and which candidate are you expecting will be able to break through? >> yeah. i think the polls are bunk. the polls four years ago said obama was going beat hillary up here and i knew that wasn't going to be the case. knock him off a pedestal? it will be up to the voters. i said in the editorial that the great majority of new hampshire republicans would repudiate trump and tha

chris christie before the endorsement and after the endorsement, it's night and day.e's got a lot of momentum. what they can do against other candidates like donald trump, this is only going to reinforce the notion for a lot of people that the media and the establishment are out to get donald trump and they help him. but i'm not sure how many donald trump supporters are reading the "union leader" or they may be seeing this on tv. >> i think something bigger is going on here. what you're hearing from joe mcquaid and really a fight for relevance. people in iowa and new hampshire have felt like the nationalization of this contest and the overmemp sis of polls has diminished retail politics and places like the union leader are used to having a formidable impact on the race. it's a message to new hampshire voters, if you want to matter, you can't just ratify trump. >> and it's the extent that that one-on-one contact works, kasie, the town hall meeting and all that, that would seem to play to christie's advantage. but what about that idea, you have that log jam, trump at 30

last month, he was endorsed by "the union leader." on the fight against opioids, a problem plaguing new hampshire right now, christie said treatment is key. frank: the effort to oust the mayor of lawrence has hit a setback. the group of petitioners were 655 signatures short of what was needed to put a recall question on the ballot. according to "the eagle tribune," they were hoping the city council would call for a special election to unseat daniel rivera. this photo of a foxborough high school student is at the center of a yearbook controversy. the problem? the young woman appears to be standing on the american flag. in fact, that was not the case. but the picture was banned from the yearbook. morgan traux believed the photo showed pride in the u.s.a. the flag is not a real flag. it's a photo studio backdrop. morgan's mom says the school's response was over the top
