joe scarborough talking about 2016.ere is hillary clinton talking at new york university last night. the most important if she could offer women in public life was a lesson she took from one of herbal models, -- took from one of her role models eleanor roosevelt, "grow skin like a rhinoceros." partnershipa between her family's foundation and the bill and melinda gates foundation. she was closed for an hour by her daughter chelsea along with: the gates -- along with melinda gates. from politico, mark warner tweet. "snowbama" #fail blamed for a deleted tweet. time, waiting of for the virginia gop to claim this winter storm was caused by the affordable care act, #snow bamacare." this got to 26 seconds later. if that respondent -- it got responded to. "is mark warner tweeting political attacks from his official account?" then this came out a minute #fail,"oops, staff removed as quickly as possible. enjoy the rest of your day." that is in politico. this is the front page of "the climate change could lead to global conflict,

but this new information tipped it. >> joe scarborough said something diplomatically i've been sayingite a while. i'd just say he can't continue with the republican governors association. it's totally destructive to the organization. they can't even be seen in public. >> that's a political job where you are supposed to be the surrogate in chief. you are supposed to be the draw as you go around the country. not only is he not a draw, he's increasingly a risk and the only reason that it will be hard to get him away from the rga is if you're too toxic for the rga you're probably too toxic for the white house and he's worried about that sort of transference. to go back to the editorial and the retraction, on the one hand i think it's great when the media rethinks and isn't afraid to say because we said something before we have to stick to it. so i kind of -- reading the newer version i liked it. it was sort of a big like my bad, now here's what we know. i've got to agree with lawrence a little bit in that while word countwise there was a lot of criticism of the democratic alternative in t

that wasn't joe scarborough.hat was center left economists looking at this. the cbo which the president of the united states talks about all the time saying the affordable care act creates a disincentive for people to work because the more they work, the more they're punished, the less they work, the less benefits they get from the federal government. that, michael, has it not been at the crux of the argument conservatives had against the welfare state for 50 years? >> for 50 years, joe, and certainly during the last three or four years when this whole argument about nationalizing our economy in terms of health care began. and so it's just loopy to sit there and make excuses the way this administration has, particularly since this report has come out. the fact of the matter is, it's very clear as you just laid it out, that you now have particularly for lower income, you know, workers, those who are the working poor have this incentive f you will, or this choice as mark just put it not to work. i mean how crazy is

. >> the next day, joe scarborough said the republicans shouldn't bring this up because of backlash. but perhaps the media have the responsibility to bring it up in terms of a hillary clinton campaign. do they? >> no. we've had this argument as a nation. we've impeached bill clinton over this. >> we didn't do it. >> the american people, right. bill clinton is now one of the most popular elder statesmen in american life. >> which suggests the country -- >> the country is over it. >> terrible, excusable, and the country -- >> but you just heard from lauren, right? which is that the democrats always want to make out the war on women issue. this comes back to you are now blaming the wife for the misbehavior of the husband? again, that is not good. let me just say the larger issue here is hillary clinton being the inevitable candidate now on the democratic side, the polling leaks at 72% of democrats basher? and republicans not only want to keep the lewinski thing in there, they would like benghazi to come back to life to bring her down from her tremendously high numbers. >> senator paul s

. >> that is a step away from joe scarborough who just leaves it sitting -- >> learn from the master. >> what is the weather? >>> two storms for the west coast. the first in california yesterday and the second one is out in the pacific. this is the big one and waiting for. it's not going to end the drought but take a dent out of it. areas up there in the mountains, we could see up to four feet of snow in the mountains of california. this is much needed. we are predicting about 2 inches of rain and maybe 3 inches of rain in l.a. the most they have seen from one storm in three years. gives you the perspective of how bad this drought has been. of course, the temperatures in the northern plains. this is just brutal stuff. i mean, i know it's day after day and it's been all winter long, but to be at the end of february with a minus 41 windchill in minnesota is horrendous! by the way, it is 74 in miami right now. a difference of 120 degrees from the temperature in northern minnesota to south florida. actually, down to 72. sorry. down to 72 in south beach. again, the temperatures are cold. a

msnbc host joe scarborough saying, quote, he's a distraction to the rga if republicans job is electing governors and you got a guy running away if him that's a serious problem. that's not what the numbers say. this past january chairman christie raised a staggering $6 million. that's more than twice as much that has been raised in a signal month in rga history. joining us guy benson, fox news contributor. i don't know, guy, how you did in math in high school or college, but you didn't have to get an a-plus to figure out that's a lot of dough. >> well, it's a record amount of money that governor christie has brought into the coffers at the rgand this is a glimmer of good news for governor christie amid a very difficult month for him. i think it will quell some of those murmurs you have heard about maybe he should step aside, maybe he is a little too toxic to be running this particular organization, and based on what he's experiencing on the campaign trail with these governors, at fund-raisers, talking to big money people within the party, he is excelling. he's brought in a record amount

presidential nomination in the republican party, other candidates are going to enter, maybe people like joe scarboroughrtman, many others, this is wide open. >> you think scarborough would do it? he always flirts with this stuff. do you think he would run for president? >> i can't be inside his head. i think that he certainly would think about it and if he saw there was a way and a path that was a possibility that he probably would. >> your point is now there are these paths opening up. >> this can go anywhere. >> right. >> christie was the ideal candidate moving to the center, somebody who supposedly could work with democrats, who had gotten a lot accomplished in his state, very popular, so-called truth teller who got right out there and said things others are afraid to say and now what we have is an implosion of sorts. >> sounds like you don't think he's too thoroughly damaged to be the nominee. we don't know yet? >> i think it's unlikely he will be the nominee. if he's going to be the nominee he has to prove that this was all invented against him. that he really had very little to do with the aura o

joe scarborough, thank you for report. you stay safe out there.et's start with the nor'easter that is combining about every nasty part of winter into one giant storm. the latest blast of severe weather has shut down states in the south and is now taking aim at the north. numerous states could see more than a foot of snow. it's also packing a devil punch of ice and freezing rain. more than 7,000 flights have been cancelled or delayed. roads are a disaster in some areas. in north carolina, drivers say virtually every car was stuck in the snow or fish tailing. hundreds of thousands of people in the carolinas and georgia are in the dark and that number could rise. it's a strange scenario when the south is dealing with its second big storm in as many weeks. while athletes at the winter olympics are complaining of the warm weather in sochi. it makes no sense. let's go right to bill karins with more. >> the worst of it yesterday was in south carolina and areas of georgia where the most damage has been done. that is where about 500,000 are without power a

joe scarborough is betrayal. it's not a betrayal of chris christie. it's just a fact.f you were a republican like myself and you want governors to get re-elected in 2014 and you don't want to control 30 state houses but 35 state houses you want somebody who has no distraction. he raised a lot of money in january and, who knows, maybe everything is going to go swimmingly well. this is not exactly, you know, a guy that has focused 24 hours a day reelecting governors across the country. >> given the level of staffers we had read about the past three weeks, the high school memo he claimed he didn't see. i would i think it would behoove the governor to resign from the rga and concentrate on his immediate political future. >> that is my point. if he did not know this memo was going out, he does not need to focus on giving speeches across the country. >> anybody can pick this up anecdotally. the bully label has affixed itself to chris christie. rightly or wrongly, it has rightly affixed its to chris christie the past few weeks. you say people who have minimal interest in poli

there was this guy joe scarborough was elected from florida. >> i know what? some intelligence, sir, on working with joe. >> he was originally one of the original bomb throwers. >> wait a minute. was he a red bomb thrower as pat buchanan says? >> i don't know about that but he was a hard charger and believed what he said and didn't mind saying it and he was good to work with. >> compare then and now and what peter king was talking about, what john boehner did last week and i think perhaps might be a good strategy toward the midterm but then again where do you all stand? >> the republicans fought back then. as a matter of fact joe was part of a group that challenged the speaker in the first term and voted down a rule, which brings a bill to the floor, and the speaker called us all in and asked us to come up and give an account. then in 1997 there was the attempted coup against newt gingrich. we have had these little skirmi skirmish. the point is we got over them and we had the control of the u.s. house of representatives for 12 years. i think we are going to get

joe scarborough has a question from you. second ago about the harvard post grad degrees. i think it's absolutely fascinating. if you look at these numbers between law, medicine, finance, consulting and grad school over the past few years, you've got around 75% if you just want to round it to a number. three out of four of our best and brightest not building the pie, not growing the economic pie, but deciding how to divide it up, whether it's lawyers deciding how to do that or people in finance or in consulting. i mean, that is the real problem. we need these entrepreneurs, we need these innovators, we need our best and brightest actually creating products that grow the economy, that create exports, create jobs. those numbers are so stark. you've got 75% of our best and brightest deciding to carve up the pie instead of growing it. >> the great thing, joe, our young people actually do desperately want to learn how to build things. we're not presenting them a genuine choice to do so. i'll use law school as an example. no one has

joe scarborough, given the fact that we're talking about a full withdrawal by 2014, what do you make >> well, the relationship was broken down four years ago. four years ago, karzai said he was open to balancing to the taliban side. this guy has never been a reliable leader. we said it in realtime in 2009 when the generals were asking the president to triple number of troops. of course, bob gates talked about it at length in his book, and you can go back through and see how that went down. you know, nobody around the table, our table in 2009, could explain why we were staying in afghanistan. if you talked to every policy leader -- i remember richard holbrooke coming on, and on camera he would say one thing, and off camera, he would say it was hopeless. on camera, he would say, we can't cut and run. we can't leave afghanistan. you would always ask these leaders why we couldn't leave afghanistan. they would never say, because of afghanistan. they would say, because of pakistan. i mean, this has been a failed policy for the past three, four years. george w. bush didn't pay enough attent

and yesterday joe scarborough made similar comments. you see some national politics, some deciding they're going to stay away from this christie issue or maybe not come out full throated for him perhaps because they're interested in a 2016 run or have someone who's interested in the 2016 run that they may back. there's obviously politics at play here as to why you're not seeing a full-floated, you know, from all corners defense of christie. >> i want to get to this, because this is uncommon to say the very least, a newspaper rescinding its endorsement, but the star ledger came out saying: >> are we any closer to determining christie's role in the future and what we night expect from this upcoming investigation? >> i think we're getting closer, but it's important to point out here that this is going to take a while. obviously, the state legislature is continuing its investigation, it issued 18 new subpoenas this week. it is still awaiting responses from 18 that it issued last week. there are challenges to those subpoenas, a lot of high p

joe scarborough, did you learn anything? >> i learned absolutely nothing.sia. george w. bush couldn't figure it out. this president's having problems. so what i've learned is we're going to have to fine-tune our foreign policy and figure out a way forward. thomas, what have you learned? >> same thing when it comes to ukraine, joe, we can't cover and talk about that story enough with the atrocities that have happened to the people over there, who are trying to just invoke their right to free speech. >> real quick, mike barnicle? >> rick perry has a whole new look going -- glasses, short hair. >> okay. >> a whole new look. >> ed rendell? >> late-night comics, running for president again. >> and steve rattner, like "all in the family" you agree the minimum wage should be hiked. >> i do. i was glad to learn bruce ratner was a big supporter of it. >> way to go, bruce. >> it's time for "morning joe," and now time for "the daily rundown." have a great weekend. ♪ tainted love >>> state of action. as congress and the white house throw in the towel already on some bi
