over the course of the last couple of months you had denounced donald trump for xenophobea and islamaphobia, inciting violence and for saying things that could be interpreting -- interpreted as inciting violence. at what point do you dede nouns his candidacy? mr. ryan: i don't believe i'll have to do that. this is a democratic process. the republican primary voter is going to make this decision on who our nominee is going to be. if the person doesn't get a sufficient dell fwats, then it goes to the convention and the delegates make that decision. those delegates are elected in each of the caucuses, in each of the districts, every state has a different way of doing it, by republicans. i'm going to respect that process. so it isn't my place to say who our nominee is or what. if anybody, not just donald trump if anybody is out there representing the republican party in ways that we believe disfigure conservatism or do not portray what our views and principles are, i as a party leader and others, i assume, as well, have an obligation to defend our principles from being distorted and we'll conti

the islamaphobia, the xenophobia. those issues are deep within the republican party and they need to be rooted out. >> and can i just add one thing, don, about the conversation whether he's a racist or not and i don't know if donald trump is personally a racist. >> he is not racist. >> i don't know what is in his heart but he's become the candidate of racists in this election and that has been very, very obvious since he announced. if you go to any of the fringe websites where racists gather object the internet, he's their candidate. you have the former -- >> you cannot help who supports you. >> right. but that's what we're talking about tonight, jeff. you can't tell -- right. you can't control who supports you. that's why you condemn them when you are asked. >> and he has condemned them. for decades. he has condemned it for decades. >> not on sunday. >> he did. >> stand by, everyone. here's the thing. and i said this earlier. ryan, i think you're exactly right. i don't think donald trump is a racist but he has become

instead, he lectures about islamaphobia. >> reporter: donald trump is taking a break to visit with his one-day old grandson. he blames the international community for failing strategies in the so-called war on terror. >> i don't mind nato per se but it has to be reconstituted and modernized. we are dealing with nato from the days of the soviet union which no longer exists. >> reporter: and a sweet before bernie sanders, winning washington, hawaii and alaska. he is now confident many superdelegates will now switch to his side because of his growing momentum. >> i think every vote is pivotal. we are now winning in state after state. the latino vote, we're doing better now that we are out of the south. we're doing extraordinarily well with young people and we think we have a path toward victory. >> reporter: the biggest prize of all is california where there is good news for donald trump. a new la times poll has him leading among conservatives. >> and here is a closer look at that la times poll. trump has 37% support in the golden state among conservatives and ted cruz with 30%. john kasi

. >> in the wake of brussels, we don't need another lecture from president obama on islamaphobia. we need a commander in chief who does everything necessary to defeat the enemy and we need to immediately halt the president's ill-advised plan to bring in tens of thousands of syrian muslim refugees. >> reporter: u.s. authorities have offered belgium every help and assistance and may be called in to help with elements of the investigation. belgium's ambassador to the u.s. said security around the airport had been tightened in recent days >> additional security had come and you can see that, every can see that. notwithstanding that, these attacks occurred this morning. >> reporter: this has been described as an attack on belgium and on europe, but its impact has been felt worldwide. in the u.s. flags will fly at half staff until the weekend as a mark of respect for those who died in brussels >>> artists and cartoonists have been showing sald ought with the-- solidarity with the people of brussels. this was published which shows a weeping french flag kon forting his friend belgium. bel

. >> people are scared and we president obama lectures americans on islamaphobia. that is maddening. >> tomorrow, former presidential candidate, ben carson, plans to stop donald trump. >>> tomorrow, democratic presidential candidate, bernie sanders, will try to rally votes in raleigh. sander wills be there at memorial stadium at noon. the event is free and open to the public. north carolina's primary is on tuesday. >> tonight, a go fund me tells channel 9 it no longer will allow military nonprofit group that helped add local family to set up anymore campaigns on their website. marines and mickey is a south carolina based group now under investigation for allegedly lying about military service and misappropriating funds. it started working with the skip wells foundation, which is questioning how the founder spent thousands of dollars it donated. now it was almost two years ago that marines helped the union county family watch their son graduate from a marine boot camp. susan and brian have disabilities and they couldn't carolina. they told marines about their situat

>> there's such a nonsense that the real concerns people have about it get brushed aside under islamaphobia. people like that because they feel like they're not being taken seriously. >> that's equally dump. >> why wouldn't you suspend it to figure it out? are other countries doing that? >> no, they're not. >> you see the issues other countries are having. we can't take a million without vetting all of them. >> they're having like a little chuckle i think. >> germany maybe shouldn't be laughing. >> you are nuts not to like frosting. >> i like a little bit. >> what about the do until dutiwith the filling in them. >> no. >> or sour cream donut. >> you know that ted cruz uses the the sugar on his hair? >> it's a fun southern fact. >> breaking news all night long. >> you see berkley struggles with names. right and left wingers have issues with wilson, but i believe right wingers hated him first. >> yeah. >> you said the money for new plaques has to come from somewhere and it would raise tuition. possibly, although it's a state school so it's the taxpayers. >> i went to a private school. i assum

he's not definable and some of the people most afraid are the political insiders, not because of islamaphobia and how he seems to endorse the kkk. but they're concerned that donald trump could roll back foreign policies and protected entitlement programs and sent the republican party up to reverse over the next 30 years what he might do as president. so if you're worried about donald trump ruining the party before the election, there are others who think that he might ruin it by taking office. >> david schuster for us, and tonight, the four remaining presidential candidates are facing off in detroit. this follows the super tuesday victories and the departure of ben carson. diane, what are you expecting tonight? >> tony, i think that we're expecting fireworks. i think that we'll see a reboot of what we saw in houston during that debate a couple of weeks ago where ted cruz and marco rubio took on donald trump and hit him very hard. rubio especially has to make a good showing tonight. because he has only won one state to date. and that's minnesota. and he desperately needs to win his home state

>> what's really important in my opinion is hate speech, islamaphobia. we need to make it unacceptable for people to feel as though they can paint an entire community that is so diverse, that contributes to the american fabric with a broad brush and make sure people know they can't commit violence against american muslims without consequences. those things are punishable by law. >> i know you speak about politicians and you're surprised about the rhetoric, but are you surprised that someone like donald trump, who has proposed a ban on muslim immigration is campaigning across the united states and winning states? and he won again last night in arizona. >> i'm frightened. i'm frightened that what felt like a joke a few months ago is now looking like a very real presidential race. i worry as we advance toward november that the rhetoric may become even more dangerous and violent. >> if i can talk on a personal level. i remember after the september 11 attacks, we heard stories about people choosing not to wear their headscarves in public, people changing thei

what are you seeing in terms of islamaphobia and what's the reaction there to all of this?l, there's a lot of distress. dearborn is probably the closest thing we have to something like a molenbeek in brussels and yet it could not be more different. the police chief there has set up these cooperative programs. you hear again and again from law enforcement officials how in general, despite the obvious exceptions like san bernardino, on the whole, the u.s. muslims have been very cooperative, and i think that it helps explain why, in the nearly 15 years since 9/11, we've had a relatively small number of these types of terrorist incidents. >> people who want to learn a lot more about this issue, again, i say go to politico and check out michael's article. michael hirsch, rebic ka sinderbrand, thanks to both of you. that's going to do it for this hour. thank you so much for joining me. my colleague ayman mohyeldin picks up next from brussels. before we head to break we leave you with a live look at the memorial here in place de la bourse honoring the victims of tuesday's attacks.

and you can also radicalize the rest of the population and lead to all kinds of persecution and islamaphobia. that's exactly the game they're playing, and they are very well down that road right now. you see the effect in politics here with marie lepin, with builders in the netherlands. you see the british exit from the european union is likely to be influenced by events like this, even though leaving the european union wouldn't help them at all. all of that is really running right down page by page in the isis playbook. >> you and i spoke last -- around the paris attacks, and, of course, much has changed in france since then. i wonder how either france or the whole of europe is responding in terms of a more assertive law enforcement approach, more assertive or muscular military approach. are you seeing a sea change in the way europe is dealing with this problem and its borders? >> not a sea change, no. we are seeing changes. there are tougher laws in france, there are tougher laws in some other european countries. but, you know, other european countries had thought that maybe they could get

they complain about the rising wave of islamaphobia that exists in belgium and europe that makes it easier for recruiters to tap into the younger community that is increasingly feeling isolated. why that matters to the investigation is because brussels has become a hot bed, if you will, for some of these recruitment to places like syria. there is a link between the paris attacks as well as the brussels attacks including the individuals that came from maalbeek. so officials have to come into these communities and try to piece together the network, the connections and pipeline that is bringing people in from various communities to either go abroad to fight in syria and then brought back into europe where we've seen them carry out attacks like we've seen in the past four months. >> thank you. >>> i want to bring in nbc's kelly o'donnell who has more on the victims of tuesday's attacks. kelly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erika. we are at the st. pierre university medical center in brussels and this is one of a number of hospitals that are treating the survivors and we are just two

why these people are terrified, why are they so prone to anti-black feelings and anti-muslim, islamaphobia, why they want the wall up, etc., etc., and what policies can be formulated that speak to their fears but from the opposite end of the ideological spectrum that donald trump is doing? rather than exacerbate their fears, how do we assuage their fears and teach them how to reach across ethnic and racial and class lines, create new coalitions, and form bridges rather than to erect barriers? we cannot -- i told an audience in texas, i grew up in the hills of west virginia. i'm as west virginian as i am black. and in many ways i'm more west virginian than i am black. we all have multiple identities. if you ask me how i got to this stage, i would say growing up, independent, rugged, in the hills of eastern west virginia, on the potomac river, shaped the person that i became. get me here as being black. that's just true. and i grew up overwhelming -- with an overwhelming percentage of white kids. many of those people are supporting donald trump. and i'm still close to them and they would use

and islamaphobia was second place and trailing at 14%.rail a lot about how the economy is doing. i think that they have a sense that maybe donald trump will enact some sort of pro-business policies that will shake things up in washington. >> very quickly. a poll in your article mentioned more than 2,000 muslim-americans who choose hillary clinton over any of the candidates running for president. why is that? >> well, i mean, i think -- ever since the 2000 elections when muslims overwhelmingly supported george w. bush, since then they have sort of taken a turn and have really gone hard for, you know, strong establishment democratic candidates. so that hasn't really changed. but now we're seeing, you know, a slight shift in that because they feel like they've been let down. >> okay. ismat, good to talk with you. thank you so much. >>> coming up at the top of the next hour the first polls will be opening in louisiana. we're going to be there live and trump spokeswoman katrina pearson talks about the candidate's position to pull out cpac.ts b

this tide of islamaphobia that further insulates and isolates the community. that has been one of the issues in terms of a belgian national identity and cohesiveness that sometimes is a lot more fractured than what we see on the outside. you're seeing that play out at this particular memorial. >> police here in brussels finding themselves facing danger. there is a potentially dangerous situation. and yet at a time when they are coming under assault. assault in terms of what people are saying about their ability to control isis. what they did in the run-up to the attacks that happened here. everyone from the everyday police officer in some of the towns, in some of the neighborhoods in brussels its f itself, obviously up the chain to intelligence officers, to cabinet members, to the prime minister. all of them being questioned. so understand that they are in the middle of a very volatile situation at a time when they know that in many ways they've lost the trust of the people, of brussels, of belgium, to control situations, to control terrorism. >> yeah, they've

the communities around them have been so much about muslims being victims, about the so-called islamaphobia. they're ignoring the fact that in brussels you have 600,000 muslims and a population of 11 million, where you had one out of a thousand, 600 went to syria. 130 from molenbeek itself. yet, no problem, see no evil, hear no evil. nothing's happening. we don't have an issue. it's just a few one offs, they call them lone wolves. it's not lone wolves. this is an ideological separatism from the islamist way and western way of freedom. molenbeek is not only related to the paris attacks, there was an attack on a jewish museum in 2014. there was connection to "charlie hebdo." i mean, how many lessons do we need until we realize that we need to put some fire under the feet of muslim communities to reform on this issue? >> they were on the highest alert, number four, whatever it is. they've been doing that for months and still were unable to stop. i'm wondering as you try to find out about abdeslam, and he is talking, that hive dentally backed out of the -- that he evidently backed out of the st

. >> the president goes on a national television conference and lectures america on islamaphobia.ugh is enough. >> reporter: brussels is the latest in a string of terror attacks since november, pushing foreign policy back to the top of voters' concerns. the republican front-runners doubled down on taking drastic measures. >> we are worried about laws and we can't waterboard and, yet, they are chopping off heads. >> reporter: we carpet bomb isis into oblivion. >> reporter: in a speech on counterterrorism, democrat hillary clinton fired back at the gop proposals. >> when republican candidates like ted cruz call for treating american muslims like criminals and for racially profiling predominantly muslim neighborhoods, it's wrong, it's counterproductive, it's dangerous. >> reporter: clinton also criticized trump's suggestion that the u.s. should significantly reduce its commitment to nato. she said turning our back on nato would send a dangerous signal to america's friends and enemies. >> chip, thank you very much. >>> president obama has been practicing with some might call soft shoe
