jackie kucinich with "the daily beast." ben carson seems to be taking some heat in the media, ileana. >> it's more about boosting his name recognition, his book sales and ultimately income than it is about winning the white house and regardless of whether he's suspending his campaign or not, he's going on a book tour in the midst of a presidential campaign and i think that seriously undermines the rightness of his endeavor and he's being heavily scrutinized about it. >> jackie, what do you think about it? it doesn't allow for co-mingling and things like book tours. >> that's not exactly right. you actually can but you can't profit off of it. he'd have to give it to charity. but it does raise some questions. it's not against the law, but is it the letter of the law? that's the question. yes, he's not technically running for president when he's on this book tour. is the publisher paying for these expenditures as he's going from town to town? okay. fine. is there a difference? it's hard to say. i've never heard of anyone suspe

jon: john mccormack, senior writer for the weekly standard, jackie kucinich is senior politics editor the daily beast. welcome to both of you. jackie, is this a new, tougher bernie sanders we are about to see on campaign trail? >> you have to wonder, he hasn't been that good at it. remember that moment during the debate when he had an opportunity to go out after hillary clinton on her e-mails, and he chose not to. the gun issue has been a problem for bernie sanders with the democratic base. his record is very mixed on that. so he's going to have to hit hard back, or he's just going to fade into the background, because the clinton machine does take out people that challenge it. jon: john, you know the old saying, fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice -- i just reversed it. [laughter] maybe he got a little taken aback after he sort of handed her a gift in the debate, and she slapped him down on guns. >> well, exactly. not only slapped him down, but basically accused him of being a sexist, you know? that's what she clearly implied. he has treated hillary clinton with kid gloves, not j

jackie kucinich and john mccormick. , so, is there a little bit of a problem between donald trump and ted cruz growing or starting? >> you know, this is the plan all along, i thought, you know. there are reasons you didn't see cruz attacking trump, because the conventional wisdom was that trump's supporters, once trump drops out, will go to cruz. i can't say i thought he was going to say it out loud this soon, but you know, as you said, times, they are a changing. we'll see if trump reacts to cruz, because he's sure not shy about doing that. >> and donald trump has shown -- there's not even a hint he's getting out. people keep saying that, but i have not seen one hint that donald trump is leaving. >> i don't get it either, you know. he's made some comments saying if he were down in the polls and he had no chance, then he would get out. but you know, he's still first in the polls. he might have dropped a little bit in the polls, down to 23%, but he's still first. i don't see -- i think this might show some antsiness on te

let me bring in political panel that we've assembled, "daily beast" senior politics editor jackie kucinich and conservative radio talk show host steve deace. steve, let me start with you. first -- okay. where do we start with this, steve deace? rupert murdoch, what -- what can one be thinking to tweet something like that, and what impact could this have not only on mr. carson but also just this odd relationship, i think it's fair to call that, between donald trump and fox and some of the other people running for president and fox? >> well, tamron, after the fox news debate, the first gop presidential debate, i wrote the analysis for "usa today." and one of the things i put in the "usa today" column is i had never seen as much conservative complaining about fox as i saw after that debate where people literally thought the panelists who spent more time on camera than the candidates were there to debate the candidates as opposed to the candidates debating themselves. and tlgs a growing disconnect between grass-roots conservatives who viewed fox as sort of a mouthpiece for the gop establishmen

i mentioned her a minute ago, jacky kucinich, senior politics editor for the daily beast is with us. sues compared to hillary clinton. martin o'malley had kind of a similar line of attack on cnn on sunday. take a listen. >> i was against the transpacific partnership eight months ago because i believe it is bad for the country. thomas jefferson once said that in matters of fashion, one should swim with the current but on matters of principle, one should stand like a rock. i didn't shift positions right on the eve of the first democratic debate. >> jackie, is that what we expect tomorrow, a lot of pointing out hillary clinton, in their view, inconsistencies? >> yeah, i think you will. bernie sanders and martin o'malley are saying the same thing, taking very different takes. martin o'malley throughout this campaign has been taking it to hillary clinton, criticizing her, where bernie sanders, i you noticed on andrea mitchell earlier today, that's saying like, oh, great, she is joining me on these issues and the voters know who has been completely consistent. going to be interesting how th

. >> the "on the record" political panel is here from the daily beast jackie kucinich and david. >> when donald trump goes out there and says he is not blaming george w. bush when he clearly is blaming him for 9/11. like an activists like michael moore. that's complete historical revictim of. stopped 1900 men stopped box cutters and world trade center. losing argument for trump. if you want to have an argument about what could have been done to roll up al qaeda overseas that still wouldn't have stopped these guys that are already here. that's been one criticism. if you want to talk about that you have got to talk about also the person who is president for eight years before that not the president for 8 months when 9/11 happened, bill clinton. >> jackie? >> one way he is winning is everybody is talking about this. rand paul responding to this on another show. is he managing to get under jeb bush's skin again which he has been very good at doing and making him look frustrated and making him look agitated. that's something he has been very successful at. >> why can't governor bush roll that

jackie kucinich, weekly politics writer for "daily beast." welcome to both of you. ckie, to you first. this is hillary clinton's first big campaign ad but it's about the benghazi investigation. i mean is that the kind of thing in ideal world, is that the kind of thing you want for your first campaign ad? >> you know, a lot of democrats have been waiting for her to push back hard on the benghazi narrative. kevin mccarthy's comments opened door for her to do that. so i think, you also saw her talk about it yesterday. she is going to push back hard. kevin mccarthy opened the discussion which democrats have been having a long time this is openly political. so she has her foot in the door. i would expect you will hear a lot about this going forward from hillary clinton. jon: so, christopher, will it help? >> kevin mccarthy should be paid royalties for this ad. he basically wrote it for hillary clinton:but i don't think hillary clinton's staff thought the first big national ad would be dealing with benghazi. her problem will continue. email impropriety is there. pay to pla

senior politics editor for "the daily beast," jackie kucinich, and matt lewis, senior contributor for "the daily caller." matt, i'll start with you, because it seems this morning it's the republican party who's taking a lot of heat for this hearing. as i asked congresswoman sanchez, how would you headline what we witnessed yesterday? >> well, i think that hillary won politically. now, it's possible there are legal ramifications. she's under oath. the fbi's looking into her already. it's possible that she said something that might legally come back to haunt her. but in terms of the political aspect, the optics, she was unflappable. republicans didn't score any real points, just a couple of glancing blows. i think republicans have some very valid concerns about what happened in benghazi, but none of it really came out yesterday. >> let's be clear, here you have congresswoman sanchez. she's on the committee. she's a democrat. she says that she, too, has questions as it relates to what the family members of those americans killed may want answered at this point, but you talk about legal r

here to discuss it with us, "time" political reporter zeke miller and editor of daily beast, jackie kucinich. john boehner's response to why would anybody want this job is, somebody has to do it, which is not a ringing endorsement. what's in it for paul ryan? why would he take it? >> he wants to do this to save the party from itself, essentially. he's never run for a leadership post. he's chairman of ways and means, which is the job he always wanted. this would really be a favor, essentially to the republican party. which is why he's saying you have to come to me. and he's not necessarily going to meet the freedom caucus halfway. it's kind of his way or the highway. an they can choose that or they can choose utter disarray because if not paul ryan, there are, you know, a host of other candidates, maybe, i mean, i can't even keep track anymore how many other people are running if paul ryan does not decide to do this. >> you know this is politics. politics is about optics to get paul ryan in that position would be a coup for them. it's an ugly business down there, let's not forget but being th
