jeremy peters, jennifer. thank you for being crystal clear. >> coming up, donald trump is stepping up on bill and hillary clinton. the clintons are fighting back a bit, not clearly not in the way he's fighting and new polls show hillary clinton running strong in states where democrats don't usually do well like georgia. she's very close right there. did trump, beating republican in georgia. is donald trump at war with everyone to keep his campaign interesting? is he worried people will tune out if he acts more presidential? i think that's part of it. he wants to keep the show going and "hardball" round table. something you may not know and finally, let me finish tonight with a guy that shoots the moon. we know who that is. this is "hardball" the place for politics live from caramel, california, tonight. >> and i'm saying to myself, but nobody in this country and maybe in the history of the country politically was worse than bill clinton with women. he was a disaster. he was a disaster. i mean, there has never

joining me now msnbc contributor, founder of "the washington post" fix blog, jeremy peterers, and susan chief of "usa today." susan, you've seen these two camps going at each other. we thought bernie sanders would dial it down but he's really been dialing it up. >> it's not clear what's going to happen. >> they're trying to decide if one or the other wants to jump off it. the clinton campaign wants a peaceful convention. what would make bernie sanders feel his campaign had gotten what it deserved after his amazing showing in some of these states. >> jeremy peters, what i'm hearing from people is they understand that he has to play this out, but that they feel that if he's going to play inside the democratic party, he should understand what the rules are, at least that's the pushback from some of his colleagues. >> that's right. this is not someone who has been a democrat for very long. while i think there is a certain amount of tolerance and even some goodwill toward bernie in this democratic conference, their patience is running thin. i don't think he'll be able to continue with this a

joining me is jeremy peters. new yorker for the "new york times" covering the 2016 race.to it. reince priebus calls for efforts to put up a third party candidate a suicide mission. what are you hearing about these prospects? >> they are pretty thin. and a little too late i would say to put it mildly, alex. i think there's little chance they can get on the ballot in the states they need to at this point. and why it's taken so long when it's been so obvious that trump was going to be the nominee that these efforts didn't materialize and mature earlier is really beyond me. if they wanted to do it, they needed to do this months ago. >> you may have heard kathleen parker say in actuality, mitt romney isn't really involved in this. it has been a misnomer putting him as being that involved. >> i did hear her say that. i do think that his involvement is always a little overstated. people, journalist,er political journalist love to drag out his name as if he will be a white knight, a savior and that contradicts what is happening in the republican party right now and notion there i

jeremy peters and rick tyler, thank you both.," chuck todd and tom brokaw join the table. tom back from france where he received that country's highest honor. talk about tom's nonstop work on behalf of veterans and the greatest generation. plus -- >> when the v.a. secretary compared the lines at his agency to lines at an amusement park, we were dumbfounded. this is not disney land or wonderland for that matter. veterans have died waiting in line for their care. >> does he need to resign? >> i don't know if he should resign. he should clarify comments and show empathy for veterans he's supposed to serve. >> members of congress are not happy with the veterans affairs secretary's comments comparing lines at clinics to lines at disney land. so he apologized, right? >> i don't know if it was an apology. >> that's next on "morning joe." are those made with all-beef, karen? yeah, they're hebrew national. but unlike yours, they're also kosher. only certain cuts of kosher beef meet their strict standards. they're all ruined. help yourself

"the new york times" jeremy peters. nice to have you with us. thanks so much. >> thank you, kate. >>> up next, bernie sanders has made very clear that he's not a fan of the chairwoman of the democratic national committee. but now he's practically campaigning for the guy trying to oust debbie wasserman schultz. we'll talk to tim canova when we come back. >>> also our friends at "saturday night live" had a little fun over the weekend with sanders' staying power. take a look. >> all right. i think i'm gonna head home. don't you work too late now. >> whoa, whoa, whoa, mrs. clinton. i'm actually closing up the br right now, so everybody's got to go. that means you, too, sir. >> no freakin' way! i'm not going anywhere. i can stay here as long as i want. >> senator sanders, i'm sorry, but the night is over. >> no, no, it's not over. it's not over till i say it's over!

the magazine warns trump is an extinction level event in american democracy and susan paige and jeremy peters reporter for "the new york times." jeremy, i loved your piece today, top right hand, the top piece of the day, right? i thought it was good because it said something is basically happened, which is all the talk of a stop trump movement based upon the id cruz would be the last man standing there is dynamic. when you get to be the last man, the other people and the front runner is just in galloping speed by then and losing support every hour. >> it also should mean people want to vote for you and that's been ted cruz' problem all along and that's the problem with the never trump movement. it's never trump and then okay, so who do we vote for? fall income wind behind ted cruz is very difficult for a lot of these republicans because he's not a palatable alternatives. >> do any candidates, did any of the candidates exhibit any kind of charisma opposing trump for the nomination? susan? >> no, no. >> never just an accident. he was up against some of the dullest, dullest politicians ever. >>

. >> joining me now for our daily fix, chris and our correspondence and jeremy peters.is on first. he moderated some of his issues today talking about the minimum wage, he's no longer standing by his tax plans but he's standing by his immigration deportation. >> yeah, i guess i am not terribly surprise, andrea, if you look at the two things that help donald trump for the nomination, the first was his plan of immigration, sending everyone back. and his second one is banning muslims. those foundational principles for him. i think it is problematic. the republican primary elector drawing --assumes those tactics and strategies will work in a general election. i think it is a bit dicey. he will move for to more of the middle on some of these issues. on those core ones, it is hard to do without losing the people who got you here. >> and you have covered politics and foreign policies and you have done it all in the white house, hillary clinton, she's now moved so far to the left on trade and some of these other issues because of bernie sanders. she cannot move back to the cent

that's part of what that is and there's always -- >> did you like that piece this weekend by jeremy peters of "the times," the miscalculation of the cruz campaign. we'll be the last one standing. by the time that happens, there's so much momentum to the other campaign. >> there were a lot more los angeles lakers fans ten years ago than today. >> and with the red sox. >> we see that with everyone. >> kennedy beat nixon and they asked people -- >> you see that in every poll that comes out post election, who did you vote for, obama, 57, romney, 43. i don't remember that that was the margin, but that's how we think. >> it's a pundit question, not an opinion. who's going to stay in the race longer? bernie or cruz? >> i have an answer, but i want to hear yours. >> bernie stays in. right to the end. he hasn't put the stake in the ground the way cruz has. >> i think cruz gets out sooner. the cruz we saw today is a very frustrated, angry cruz. >> stick around. we'll have more exit poll numbers throughout this hour and as the clinton and trump campaign shift their focus to november, they're doing th

a today and jeremy peters who got himself a column now., today the white house is issuing a new directive for the nation's public schools. that's what they call it down there. he joins me next on "andrea mitchell reports" only on msnbc. >>> the legal rights of transgender in north carolina escalates. today the administration will send out a letter in the school district saying they need to allow transgender students use whatever bathrooms match their identity. the administration is threaten to cut federal funding that don't comply. this response is in the latest o f the backlash. north carolina's governor signed the restriction rule. everything from large corporations to big names refused to do business with north carolina. joining me now director of the new film "being charlie" is one of the leading voices in north carolina. thank you, tell me about, you are very busy and now talk about this. how did you get into this so strongly? >> well, as you know, you just mentioned that, you know, michelle and i were the ones responsible for filing

jeremy peters, as always, thank you. >> thank you. >>> bernie sanders' comments this morning about the lesser of two evils on the skpcampaign tr. plus poll numbers here about a third party candidate that may surprise you. what a lovely home you have. is this your family? yea, that's my daughter, my son, and that's my... hey, kool-aid man! ...husband. oh yeah!!!

>> for more on today's top political stories, now going to bring in "new york times" reporter jeremy petersi want to start with donald trump here doubling down on saying to hillary clinton, secretary clinton that she is, you know, leveraging the so-called women's card. some might equate that with saying you're leveraging the race card. >> i don't think it can work very well. they're working against republicans in this race to begin with. one of the most startling figures of the 2012 election was that mitt romney won white women by a considerable majority, but he still lost the popular vote by 5 million votes. if you think about what's happening with the country now, it's not getting whiter. it's growing a lot more minority, younger. >> it's minority women who actually pushed the overall women vote the other way. >> that's exactly right. republicans have traditionally won white women. this has been the case now for about 20 years. and donald trump performed so poorly with them. he's viewed unfavorably by 60% of women. i just don't see him being able to turn that around easily. >> it's an int

. >> now, jeremy peters. quite something to hear him talking so openly about his d distaste for donald trump. where do you see this race on a friday afternoon, given what we've just heard from the president, what we've been hearing from donald trump and paul manafort earlier today on andrea mitchell reports, what are we at? >> i wasn't quite expecting to hear a stalin reference. i think that's a first. i think right now you're at this point, republican establish so to speak, to the extent that term really means anything, republican leadership in washington, the people who are charged with safe guarding republican majorities in congress realize they can't do anything to stop donald trump right now, so they need to protect their majorities. what paul ryan needs to do is create enough distance between the congressional republican party and the top of the ticket to create a little bit of a question in voters' minds, as to whether or not trump really is the republican party standard bearer or whether he is kind of

. >> joining us now "new york times" reporter jeremy peters, you are reporting on social conservatives to embrace this concept or maybe their own reality. >> yes, begrudgingly biting their teeth, holding their nose, whatever you want to call it. one of the more fascinating things about this conversion, if that's what you want to call it, a lot of religious conservatives do see it as just that, donald trump as a convert to their cause. that's what's really resonant with a lot of them. ultimately their fate is about conversion. if they believe trump is somebody coming around to their cause, sure, they are going to get on board. not all of that is a leap of faith. a lot of it is transactional. they want to support somebody who they think will name supreme court justices that are going to be more conservative than hillary clinton would. they can't stomach the idea of hillary naming anyone to the supreme court. so in that case they think they are getting a better deal with trump. >> and are there any leaders that have come out that have surprised you in support of donald trump in the conser

and "new york times" reporter jeremy peters. impact on the republican party. >> it's significant. donald trump won all of these states and delegates. i was talking to him for a while on saturday. and the notion he has to bow down to paul ryan and to all of these other republicans who he sees as a total disconnect from the voters who supported him, and they are off in washington reading their, you know, conservative journals and getting their policy papers from think tanks and sitting in committee. it galls him. and the idea that somehow like right away, right after he sealed the nomination he's supposed to bow down and ask for their support. it's one of the many things that a process you have to go through. >> so galling. you know what you'd call that? politics. the morning after. the morning after my first race it was a dirty race. my opponent just killed me. spent all of this money. the morning after i called her up. i didn't attack her but i called her up and said i shouldn't have won this. >> this guy is a dealmaker. he got

jeremy peters, thank you very much. good to have you on the show.dential candidates can't say enough about how important this election is. but don't expect warren buffett to sound the alarm any time soon. why the billionaire investor says it just doesn't matter. oh, look... ...another anti-wrinkle cream in no hurry to make anything happen. neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair works... ...in one week. with the... fastest retinol formula available. it's clinically proven to work on fine lines and... ...even deep wrinkles.

. >> let's bring in jeremy peters. good to have you here. timing here, is it time for trump to stop antagonizing the party. doesn't he need the backing if he wants to clench the nomination? >> you would think so. but that's not the strategy we've seen from him. we assumed he would pivot to a more general election stance, taking some of the rough edges off, dialing down the antagonistic rhetoric toward party leaders. he is responding to this really unprecedented wave of defections from the establishment leadership of the party, paul ryan, the bushes, four out of the last five nominees of the republican party will not attend the convention this summer. that's remarkable, alex. >> absolutely remarkable. let's talk about john mccain who this morning weighed in with his thoughts on the race so far. >> i think that he could be a capable leader. i think it's obvious that there has to be out reach on his part and heal many of the wound. there's always wounds in spirited political campaigns. but frankly i have never seen the personalization of a camp

peter: what you appear to be saying is germany is bullying smaller countries in europe. agree, but not really smaller countries. austria was benefiting by jeremy- germany. you can talk about the european south, about the austerity policy. countries like austria or even the netherlands benefit from what is gaining to the markeketn germany. on the political side, i agree that thesenig, countries resent they have no more say in the european making. if you go to the refugee criris, the chancellor who just resigned, he was given orders by angela merkel to arrange this. it was more her calling for the auaustrian chancelellor to givim a task, as if the chancellor is not on equal footing in the system of european governance.i think there is something building up , in the small countries. we are seeing that we are paying the political price. thed: because the some of smaller countries are powerful. peter: one thing we do know, in austria, norbert hofer's success shook the political establishment to the core. as y you pointed out, to the resignation of the chancellor. austrianresignation of chancellor earlier this month sent a clear signal. in germany,
