if joe kennedy wants to be a u.s. senator, this may be his best shot. >> stephanie, there are whispers that the double secret strategy is maybe to get a 73 years old, four decade veteran of washington by way of commonwealth of massachusetts to consider to step aside and retiring and enjoying his life. >> that's brewing among the chatter in the state. you had the secret poll, you see a group of who kennedy looked at in the past to draft for the senate. the next step is for some public polling to come out in the next month or two. kennedy's poll is slightly ahead of markey and if the polling looks bad for the incumbent that may mean for him to retire. markey's campaign says there is no chance this will happen. we'll have to wait and see here. >> victoria, when markey jumped on the green new deal, a lot of veteran democrats found it interesting. the kind of people who whispered not on cable television that they don't find it a serious document. they thought his support for it so quickly and loudly and publicly was of not

i don't think she ever anticipated that joe kennedy would be jumping ahead of the line and and joe kennedysed warren as has markey endorsed warren i think it's a generational argument. it isn't a deep ideological argument but more about who can carry the flame in this moment. i think one of the issues -- and this has been true of primary debates throughout the trump era on the democratic side, which is, you know, democrats are so focused on trump, the question really is, what is the point of putting resources in a primary election when -- i mean, does it happen in new york when cuomo was up for re-election? a lot of liberals didn't love cuomo but didn't like his opponent and thought why are we spending resources on a primary? that doesn't take way from joe kennedy at all but in a presidential moment people are focused on organizing their resources to take on trump. they see that as the enemy, not the differences between good candidate. >> what about deep red kentucky, right? now he's governor. maybe joe kennedy will be governor. >> he will have a strong future either way. >> a lot of chall

do you make of that well i know them both i like them both but you talk about a new generation joe kennedy is in that new generation i think he should make the race i've known him you know practically since the day he was born i've seen him grow up he's got good judgment he's not a wild lied wild eyed lefty at all so i'd like to see him you know have a shot at it doesn't mean necessarily wins but ed markey has certainly had a distinguished career not taking anything away from him but i'd love to see joe kennedy in that race. when you more well is not the republican nominee. what do you intend to do. i might sit it out larry you know i'm not going to go pick you choosy among democrats it's just too far away and i've got enough on my hands on the republican side but i have said that i would not on any account support mr trump in the final i just think he's he doesn't know how to run a railroad as a result of which no one has confidence in us or our word as a nation around the world we just we we can't have that and he is beset by fears and demons and that's why you see these wild swerves and

joe kennedy, if you are a fan, you don't get many opportunity. you don't get stuck in the house for decades or if you see any kind of taking. >> that's exactly right. the kennedy name is prevalent and popular in the state of massachusetts. you mention personal ambition and potential driver for this primary challenge. that's a big factor here. i do think the main thing here is injecting younger blood into congress and the higher -- i talked to people who know ed markey and characterize him as an energizer bunny. he's fired up and he wants to beat donald trump. he's 73 years old but he's showing no signs of stopping. he's focused on trying to defeat donald trump and get these progressive wish list items passed. so again he checks all the boxes for progressives and that's something that massachusetts voters are going to continue to take into account over the next couple of years. >> phil, quickly, it occurs to me, elizabeth warren, endorsing ed markey. if elizabeth warren were to be successful in her campaign, opens up the senate seat. you can forge

i think joe kennedy may be looking at that same sort of generational change. there is arrestiveness in the party. if you want to be a successful democrat, you have to be successful with those under 30. 65-plus, that's mr. trump's base. if we want to cut into that, pointing out that he's trying to cut medicare might be great. right now the generational heart of the republican party, young people, joe kennedy can appeal to them. >> michael, paul, thank you very much. >>> all right. "the washington post" by their count the president has made more than 12,000 false or misleading claims. and now the head of one powerful government agency is calling the president's bluff. when it comes to claims about voter fraud. we'll talk to the chair of the s.e.c. next. ♪ let's get down to business. the business of atlanta on monday... ... cincinnati on tuesday. ...philly on wednesday. ...and thursday back to cincinnati . modernized comfort inns and suites have been refreshed because when your business keeps going, our business is you. get the lowest price guaranteed on all choi

elizabeth warren endorsement of ed markey today, what is it going to do to the possibility of this joe kennedy think we're going to have to see what's going to happen. kennedy isn't in the race yet. someone close to him is telling me that he's going to weigh it over the next few weeks and make a decision. but i think kennedy getting into this senate primary could totally change the landscape of the race and it would make a lot of folks in massachusetts politics and in national democratic politics choose sides. >> it's interesting the question, and you remember it was ted kennedy running for president in 1980 who was tripped up by that roger mud question, why do you want to be president. the question is going to be asked to joe kennedy. he's been in washington for four decades on every sort of critical key litmus test, he's probably in alignment with where the sort of the party regulars are where the party base is. idealogically any clue, any sense what the justification would be for kennedy going after markey? >> well, it's going to have to be a generational argument if he does do it. they ali

i spent about a half hour with ed markey and he would not take on joe kennedy. nedy did run, he was staying in the race. that would create a titanic match between two well-known figures. and kennedy thinks as long as he keeps the door open in this state, he will probably have to run because the pullback will show weakness for a future race. if you don't run now, the lines will not be shorter down the road in a state full of liberals. >> you saw ayanna pressley knock off an incumbent. >> exactly. >> so i'm watching senator bernie sanders this weekend. today he will be in louisville, kentucky. tomorrow he will be in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. shows a larger, broader, primary strategy which i think all of the candidates other than for the most part vice president joe biden have to do. in 2016 sanders basically tied in kentucky with mrn hhillary cn for the primary so he got a bunch of delegates there. but he also has to play on the fact he's a senator and coming back to washington, d.c. and he can rail about that. it will be interesting to see how that plays out the n

nothing out, a statement as former massachusetts congressman barny frank said not in line with joe kennedy's two years in the peace corps. prosecutor. law school. to go after ed markey would disregard the service of a progressive democratic colleague who has spent his career advocating for the same causes. an ally on so many good fights alongside the kennedys. senator markey who i've known for years and liked a lot has spent his years in public service taking the side of the consumer against the big corporations and in a larger sense, humanity for those who make the most doing the worst. to go off to do well in the private sector, while the senator himself sticks on with his commitment to looking out for the little guy. i would hate to see this commitment be threatened. the kennedys have built the most impressive record in american politics by championing the cause of the working families like ed markeys', the son of a milk man, to turn around and run against someone who has spent his life in alliance with the kennedys and their causes doesn't seem right. and that's "hardball" for now. thank

than anything with joseph kennedy the third he is now in congress and it is striking to talk to joe kennedy about his approach to be a member of congress. he was very clear eyed that his past down from knowing ted kennedy and his legacy. he was very clear about the jb of a congressman is and isn't. and that the republicans control the senate if you want to pass legislation you have to work on things that have ao good chance of going through the senate. so to see that institution for self-promotion of which they go to and work through. >> that is a race to the campaign with a great embarrassment but interestingly the succession speech lives on in so many ways the dream will never die because when he endorsed barack obama for president the last line was the dream lives on. so he carried it forward. one of the things i would like to talk to the two of you is the issue of resiliency. and the characters in your book each havean different ways of extraordinary experience but jerry brown one defeated for the senate in 1982 people wrote him off. that was the end he went off into the wilderness but
