jeffrey anderson, professor of radiology and bioengineering, teamed up with dr. julie korenberg, director of the center for integrated neuroscience and human behavior. the study combined brain scans and blood tests on 20 devout mormons, to track their neurological reactions to biologically explained spiritual sensations. >> we don't even know when a young boy goes off to join isis or a mormon in salt lake has some sense of connectedness with the divine in their view... we don't know if that's the same thing. what do people experience in their brains when they feel religious and spiritual experience? >> what we've been awaiting is the level of genetic analysis and the level of imaging analysis to be able to get to this critical intersection point. >> participants, like auriel first undergo a structural m-r-i, that gives a detailed picture of the brain at rest. next is a functional m-r-i that records auriel's brain activity while she's reading quotes about faith that are paired with photos of religious figures. next up, church videos depicting mormon culture. durin

jeffrey? >> anderson, it just strikes me. if people in the establishment had been listening to rush limbaugh for the last x number of years, they would have seen this coming. but they don't see this coming because, you know, they were too busy writing articles for "newsweek." the former bush aide, stop rush limbaugh and don't listen and all this stuff. all they had to do was listen to rush's show, listen to what his callers are saying to him and they would have understood perfectly well, long before donald trump, that they had a real problem on their hands. but they didn't pay attention. >> the entire force of the republican party is marshalled behind this theory they can defeat their front-runner. as a democrat, i'm shocked by what's happening. republican -- the autopsy report revealed there are big deficiencies. yet they did nothing to pamper that. >> one of the deficiencies was we couldn't reach out to a wide array of voters, and here we have a -- the front-runner going against that lesson. >> absolutely. >> with this use

joining me republican strategist kevin madden, republican pollster kristin anderson and former white house political director jeffreyports donald trump. kevin, you heard gary's piece right there. we heard some voters say this time donald trump has crossed the line essentially, which might be the 762nd time we've heard that in this campaign so far, but, is it different this time? >> well, look. it's a crucial time where ted cruz is trying to peel away as many voters as possible. some that have gravitated towards donald trump but are not yet solidified in his camp. at a time we have a number of contests coming up that are going to be crucial if ted cruz is going to stop donald trump from getting the nomination. i think that's the strategy here which is that ted cruz wants to continue to drive a wedge between donald trump and republican women voters across the country that could make the difference in some of these upcoming contests. >> jeffrey lord, this is a time donald trump should be trying to unify the republican party. does this work to that end? is that helping unify things? >> john, let me say something here. f

. >> and you look at the huge contrast between what my friend jeffrey just brought up and the stunning moment tonight, anderson, when the question came from the woman whose husband was deported, the woman from guatemala. that was a tear-jerking moment that i think underscores the huge differences of where the democrats are on this whole issue of deportation, undocumented immigrants, making sure they are here, if they haven't committed criminal acts to continue to live out their american dream and give them a pass to citizenship which is frankly where the majority of the immigrants are. versus the republican party where one of the first questions is whether their front-runner is a racist. >> i mean, not to -- not to relitigate van and my conversation, but i must say, i mean, this is what happens with democrats on race. i'm still waiting for mrs. clinton apologizing for slavery on record. if we want to get into that, then we can get into that, too. >> if we want to recall if founders of our country and their failure to understand, we can go into that, too. but i'm sure there is a larger issue than going back to

anderson? >> all right, wolf. paul begala, and jeffreyd is with us, van jones, former white house official, conservative writer and commentator as well. paul, begin commenting. what are you looking for tonight? obviously it's looking good for donald trump and hillary clinton in florida. it's early on. >> very early. i think the democratic race has more clarity. hillary clinton coming in with a large delegate lead. the republican side is so exciting, though, because we've had this talk for months now. it's a demolition derby. with ecould see 38-car pileup. i'm hoping for that, frankly. it's likely, if john kasich shows strength that he i think has -- >> if kasich wins ohio. >> if kasich wins ohio, then you have the kind of calamity that i've been praying for. >> that would be the only state he's won. >> it would be. it would be one more than me, which would be fine. not enough to win. but enough to keep donald trump perhaps from winning a majority of delegates going into the cleveland convention. then you have what i never believed we woul

anderson? >> yeah. perfect timing. jake, dana, thanks very much. jeffrey lord, you're just joining us. it's so fascinating the contrast between the republican side and democratic side. republicans wanting an outsider. democratic side looking for experience pointing to hillary clinton. but certainly shaping up so far to be a very good night for your candidate. >> absolutely. you know, one of the things i find fascinating in listen to dana and jake, i see the line on cnn on occasion that donald trump is executing, quote/unquote hostile takeover -- >> hostile takeover of the republican party. >> of the republican party, exactly. only in the republican party could you have the base of the party wanting to exert its will and that's being called a hostile takeover. this is the lifeblood of the republican party and the conservative movement and they are saying this is what they want. and you get a bunch of consultants and major donors who are clustered in power centers here or there saying oh, no, no, you've taken away from us -- >> when you hear jake talking, dana talking about donors having

. >> and you look at the huge contrast between what my friend jeffrey just brought up and the stunning moment tonight, anderson, when the question came from the woman whose husband was deported, the pom from that was a moment that i think underscores the huge differences of where the democrats are on this whole issue of documentation, deportation, if they haven't krined to tried to. >> i mean, not to -- not to relitigate van in my conversation, burr i must say, i mean, this is what happens with democrats on race. i'm still waiting for mrs. clinton or any. >> i'm sure there's a larger issue than going back to get that litigated. >> let's take a break here. we're going to take a short break. we're going to check in with the spin room. we're going to fact check the candidates and more as our debate coverage continues from miami. hello! thank you. yes, thank you. now that we represent the bud light party, we need a little security. so we found the toughest person that we know. blam! ronda rousey you were all expecting a man, weren't you? typical. amy, amy will you read my screenplay? no questions! seth why don't y

anderson, if the rules are changed before the convention? then what i ask you? >> a very open convention. just open. it's not contested. jeffrey lord, for anybody tuning in and just hearing ted cruz tonight, you would think he actually won something. i know he's very close in missouri but he -- >> he's beginning to sound like marco rubio coming out and claiming third place as a victory. >> amanda carpenter used to be his spokesman. when he comes out and says i'm the only alternative, is that -- >> at the end of the day when all the dust clears tomorrow, we're going to be looking at the delegates. trump may have 600 some, cruz will have 400 some and far, far behind is kasich. short of that going into the convention if cruz is just a few hundred votes behind donald trump or maybe a few hundred vo ahead of donald trump, those are the two that will be go the to convention. are they going to pull it out and give it to john kasich? give it to someone who hasn't even run for president, paul ryan? those scenarios will not happen they sound pretty good to me. >> and rules are made to be broken. but i think it would be very hard for an

anderson? >> wolf, as we stand by for donald trump we'll obviously break into that. let's start with a trump supporter, jeffrey lord. for your candidate, things are looking very good, though ted cruz was able to bring his home state. >> at least he won his home state, but he should win his home state. if he's winning oklahoma, he'll be the only other person to say i've carried something outside my home state tonight. >> right. >> i think what we're seeing, if ted cruz is going to come out and say people should start to get out or whatever, this is our friend, michael smerconish's, principle as i call it, they're going to have this egotistical moment about no, no, no, i'm not getting out, you get out. i think this is just human nature. i don't think it's going to work. the other thing is, of course, lindsey graham i think famously said the choice between trump and cruz was the choice between being shot or poisoned. you know, i just don't think that the establishment is ready to rally around ted cruz. >> s.e., the argument that ted cruz could make is he won two states. texas and iowa. and has probably a better p

jeffrey, he's acting like a power broker. does he have any power? you believe this works in donald trump's favor? >> it does work in his favor. anderson, i want to point one thing out. this rang a bell when i heard governor romney's statement yesterday. and i went back and looked. i'm sure you remember the teddy white series on the making of a president. in the making of a president 1964, theodore white describes governor george romney of michigan as barry goldwater closed in on the nomination holding a press conference and saying he could never support barry goldwater. he was going to do everything in his power to stop him. in other words, in essenc what son mitt has just done to donald trump. what i found particularly interesting in his statement yesterday, governor mitt romney quoted ronald reagan from his time to choosing speech. that was delivered in support of barry goa rry goldwater when mi romney's own father was out there opposing him. george romney refused to support goldwater in the fall. mitt romney is doing the same thing. this is a ruling class establishment attitude by the romneys. >> john, looking ahead to voting tomor

anderson? >> pamela brown, thanks. let's get perspective on both top stories from atlantic media contributor, peter beinart, on the liberal end of the spectrum, gloria borger and senior legal analyst jeffreyoobin. from the right, margaret hoover, jeffrey lord and tara setmeyer and jonathan turley. professor turley, let's start with you. what do you think this says about the nominee and what president obama is trying to do? >> it's a very interesting choice. it's a restrained choice. this would not be a legacy appointee in the sense of changing the court necessarily or necessarily being on the court a long time. he will move the needle to the left just by the fact that scalia was so far to the right. there are things about his background that will not please the left and many that will not please the right. i think there's an end-game strategy here that they hope that the republicans will change their mind with pressure. i think that's unlikely. but there's always the possibility that if hillary clinton is elected, you have that window of opportunity where the republicans can say, all right, well, maybe we'll take the moderate we know, then the liberal we don't and go ahead forward with it

anderson, not oen nly the map but the moral argument for bernie sanders gets a lot more difficult. >> fascinating. john, i want to bring in gloria borger, ryan lizza, ana navarro, donna brazile and jeffrey lord. donna is a senior democratic party official. jeffrey is a trump supporter and former reagan white house political director. tomorrow night, how important is it? what are we going to know tomorrow night that we don't know right now? >> to what john was talking about, look at the state of mississippi. if ted cruz really wants to start solidifying his lead, mississippi is a real target of opportunity for him. mississippi is a place that rick santorum won 83% evangelical voters, and he should be able to do well there. the problem for him is that trump steals his evangelical voters. they split them. and also there's a lot of blue collar working class people that trump does very well with. it's kind of a test, i think, of cruz's strength. he's been very well organized in the south. michigan, another important state to watch. michigan's got a lot of catholic voters, blue collar. that should be good for john kasich and it sort of shows you how well he might be able to do in the other mi
