>> i feel excited. >> we have a report from mama kissel. >> mamma kissel says there are a lot of seniors in palm beach county holding up trump signs. so, hello, patricia. >> don't say that to your daughter. she'll be upset. in cleveland, ohio, former ted cruz communications director, now a political contributor here at msnbc, rick tyler is with us as well, along with joe, willie, and me. what a great group. >> a great group. so? >> so, willie, what are you looking at right now? >> i'm looking squarely at ohio, for the reasons steve kor knack y just said. it looks like based on all the polling donald trump will have a good night in florida. ohio is still up for grabs. it's a close race and a popular governor there. if donald trump can win ohio, i don't want to say it's over, but steve kornacki pointed out he has a clear path to the delegates and no contested convention. >> if he wins ohio along with florida, it's just really -- >> the one asterisk there is that assumes he would also take north carolina and illinois. if he loses north carolina and illinois and wins ohio and florida, i can'

how tall is is ben kissel? he is not as tall is a the empire state building.s ben as tall as a dinosaur? even though this is not drawn to scale. >> it is not drawn to scale. you know, the last time we did it i compared you to a jackass on one side. i felt bad about that ever since. is ben finally as tall as an oompa-loompa. >> today's security tip, know the cover between cover and concealment. the brick wall is cover. the hedge is concealment. don't mix up the two. let's go to the story. the nra fairy tales. i feel awkward. the stories are chalk full of violence. stories are safer when heros have guns. another said guns improve all stories which up until the end of b block was going to be tonight's quote of the evening. but we have beaten it and i will tell you what beat it. fairy tales are disgusting and despicable horror stories. you said the purpose of fairy tales is to scare the daylight out of kids. there is no conflict. everybody is in complete agreement that fairy tales suck. you shouldn't tell fairy tells to your kids. i would never tell them one of th

mary kissel, what's your take your thoughts? >> on hillary clinton? >> absolutely. >> free college, free health care. she was against -- she was for free trade, then she was against it, when obama pulled to the party left, now she's for it again. you heard her say, you know, we're 5% -- >> is this a -- >> but, but, but, mary -- but, mary -- >> why isn't she pressed on how you're going to pay for it? who's going to pay for it? because wall street isn't going to pay for that stuff. >> but mary kissel, you're going to have to admit that if you look at her record and look at what donald trump has said, hillary clinton is closer to the "wall street journal" editorial page -- >> her record -- >> on trade. >> sorry, what's her record? >> on trade. >> what's her record, joe. >> he's trying to tell you. >> what did she pass in the senate? what's her record? >> what she's supported over the past 40 years. >> but that's not her record. >> okay. well, mary, donald trump doesn't have a record yet to date on what he would do on trade. but if you take what she has s

comedian and host of part of the problem, also joining him comeet comedian ben kissel who is a world renowned physicist and children's book author. such a diverse panel for all of you have being so white. i want to talk to you about trump's slide. is is the never trump campaign or because trump is having his own slump or is it the ted-mentum. >> trump led too crazy at the thursday debate. mentioning a certain member of his body, that was disgusting. kennedy: that was a weird moment. we haven't had a chance to talk about it. but it was such a strange moment. it was so easy for hip to put that out there. there was an audible gaps from people in the green room. >> nobody wants to think about it. >> the establishment ultimately loses no matter what. they hated ted cruz. something comes along and they are look at ted cruz as their last saving grace. what the establishment should do is reverse psychology similar to what parents do when they don't want their child to grow up to be a jug-a-low. thin their children think jug-a-lows are lame. the establishment should cop out in favor of donald

camille foster and ben kissel and mike baker. people who tweet don't come cheap. francisco just hered a tweeter who reportedly gets $130,000 a year. they defended the high price saying the strategist is a critical role for improving and enhancing the city's communications response and engagement with the public. let's see if the city is getting their money's worth. here are the tweets. that's a nice one. it appears to be a retweet. i know how to do that. that's a nice photo of a heart. that is a retweet as well. next one. hold on. look at this one. a retweet with comment. that is advanced tweeting and obviously worth every penny. >> that's from march eighth. >> i did. the other two were from the other day. >> they hired a high twiced tweeter and they don't know how to retweet with comment. >> isn't this what happens when you hire people and give them a lot of money? they do less work. i feel like that's generally what happens. i am not as money hungry so i will phone it in today. i am doing a retweet. >> if you get paid $130,000 a year you probably are the type of

comedian miami bess kissell and at home every cabinet is a liquor cab it. it's joann nosuchinsky. and she's like a tooth paste on the floor. terrible joke, katherine timpf. but first welcome to trump tower of terror. [ screaming ] >> oh, yes. it's the scariest and funnest ride on earth. once you get on, you may never get off. last weekend in chicago, total chaos. last weekend, a march to trump city. they shut the road to trump's rally. this weekend in utah, more protests except it was calmer. what's missing? alcohol. it's utah, after all. good for them. also this lady who's probably still shouting somewhere in a chicago park. >> aren't you quite aware by holding that video camera on me that you are surrounded by your live ledge, right? take your privilege somewhere else, please, all right? because your privilege is not welcome here. so unless you are here to dismantle your privilege, please find somewhere else to go. >> that was the opposite of appealing. so here's an exercise. if you are worried about the republicans or trump, think of that lady. under clinton, that could be secr

. >>> coming up next, we have the "wall street journal's" mary kissel and pissed off. are you, mary? are you upset? i'm just joking. >> she looks good. she's fine. >> looks happy. >> mom and dad were just joking. she's standing by and why she's zeroing in on foreign policy in the dividing line in the republican race for president. mary is -- always fun to have her. >> she's ready to go. >> we'll be right back. the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon... then quickly fell back to earth landing on the roof of a dutch colonial. luckily geico recently helped the residents with homeowners insurance. they were able to get the roof repaired like new. they later sold the cow because they had all become lactose intolerant. call geico and see how much you could save on homeowners insurance. hey kevin. hey, fancy seeing you here. uh, i live right over there actually. you've been to my place. no, i wasn't...oh look, you dropped something. it's your resume with a 20 dollar bill taped to it. that's weird. you want to work for ge too. hahaha, what? well we're always looki

stuart: mary kissel is here. calm me down, mary. >> it's incredible, isn't it?o, for secretary john kerry, nothing that the obama administration did in the last seven years, our withdrawal from the world in the global disorder that has ensued is his responsibilitior this president's responsibility. that's an outrageous statement by the secretary of state. the same secretary of state that backed the iran deal, gave 150 billion to the sponsor of terror. backed putin into a chemical weapons deal and didn't get the all of the chemical weapons out. talking about the palestinian conflict while isis was in iraq. he's trying to distract attention from the obama presidency and withdrawal from the world has meant for our security and the security of our allies. ashley: he did take james taylor to the charlie hebdo attack and you've got a friend. >> and he thinks about climate change. stuart: you didn't quite calm me down. i'm going to be calm now because many' going to get to the markets coming off the first losing week in six weeks. that was last week. we're going to ope

. >>> joining us with more is mary kissell who spent time living in brussels. we learned from these latest attacks? >> what we've learned just as there's a cost to intervention, there's a cost to global retreat. we're reminded again in brussels today. europe has spent several decades now in a kind of post modern bubble slashing their defense to degrading their intelligence capabilities. look where abdeslam was hiding. he was hiding in the heart of brussels for weeks and weeks and weeks. and this is a wake-up call to europe that they need to get serious, not just about defenses but need to get serious about addressing what the real problem is here that's assad and existing of a caliphate. >> do you see that happening? if europe does become more militarily aggressive, will that be even as u.s. under a donald trump or other candidate wans to recreed? >> ted cruz made an effective point. donald trump told the editorial board we should be pulling back from nato and get out of europe and then here we see in the heart of europe this devastating terror attack which wou

marc kissel, editorial board member of "the wall street journal." and lz granderson, senior writer at espn. bill, i want to start with you. a raft of polling this week that is disastrous for the republican party. if you look at the general election matchup. which donald trump just spoke about. he loses hugely to hillary clinton. but look at ted cruz. he also loses by almost ten points. the only candidate ahead of hillary clinton in that general election matchup is the one candidate, john kasich, who has no chance of winning the nomination, or apparently doesn't. what's going on with the party? >> well, donald trump -- at the end of your interview, he raised out of nowhere, i can beat hillary clinton, because i think it's beginning to hurt him among primary voters. on february 1st, trump trailed clinton by about three points in a bunch of polls on average. now he trails by 11 points. what's happened? the voters who matter, except trump's base of 38% of the republican electorate are not being won over by donald trump. they're being alienated and turne

joining me, mary kissel. ra d'ka jones, and tamara dry with demos action.all right, mary, let me start with you. you're not shy about being a trump critic. in some ways -- >> it's not personal. it's about policy. >> no doubt. >> we have critiques of cruz and kasich, as well as hillary and bernie. >> no doubt. i don't think there's a candidate left that "the wall street journal" editorial board is extremely happy with, these days. i will concede they lost their favorite candidates. >> again, we don't endorse -- >> it's pretty clear who you don't want, though, that's -- >> i don't know, you don't work for the editorial page. i'm telling you we don't endorse candidates. >> fair enough. but let me ask whether this, today seemed yet to be another ridiculous day in this campaign. that this was the focal point. all of a sudden, this was the feeding frenzy, and yet it was just sort of par for the course. >> i think that's the feeding friends kbri we've chosen to focus on. of course, the other story out of wisconsin is the fact that ted cruz has pulled even in the p

the wall street journal's mary kissel is joining us.do you make of this. >> when you thought the obama administration couldn't go any lower or the president himself couldn't go any lower, then we have the trip to cuba. stuart, this trip validates and empowers the regime that has effectively enslaved its people, denied them their freedoms, religious freedom, freedom of the press, freedom of speech. stuart: in what way does it empower and keep-- >> because it validates, not only does it validate the regime by giving them the face of the president physically going to cuba, but we're also opening the doors for u.s. businesses to do business with the regime. stuart, let's not forget, cuba does business with north korea, it harbors u.s. fugitives, it enslaves its people. the people that president obama boasted were going to be released because of this great deal, more than half of them, rearrested and most tellingly, arrivals in the united states of cubaen refugees have gone through the roof. 80% up last year. if this was such a great deal an

stuart: all right, mary kissel, wall street editorial board is here with us this monday morning. want to back away from the scenes over the weekend and bring it up-to-date this morning. is donald trump helped or hurt politically by what happened at the rallies? >> stuart, i think that's the wrong question. it's not about whether it helps or hurts a single candidate, it hurts america and american politics, this kind of violence should be roundly condemned and yesterday, instead, what happened? we saw donald trump on twitter saying, let me quote this because i want the audience to hear the words. bernie sanders is lying when he says his disrupters aren't told to go to my events. be careful, bernie, or my supporters will go to yours. that's not how a democracy functions, we function under a rule of law, we don't function under vigilanteism. stuart: if an outside organization is disrupting a rally-- >> stuart, the answer is not to stoke the violence especially from someone who is running for the most powerful position in the world. the answer is to condemn the violence. stuart: whose

not a great division, though, nick, as you said, among elites, among the donor class, we had mary kissel day and she kept fighting the obvious time and time again which is -- i said, mary, you keep attacking hillary clinton but the fact is, hillary clinton's going to be much closer to the "wall street journal" editorial page come november than donald trump is: >> that's right. >> on trade. hillary clinton is going to be much closer to the "wall street journal" editorial page come november than donald trump on israel: hillary clint israel. hillary clinton is going to be much closer on the "wall street journal" editorial page on intervention, military intervention, than donald trump come november. she swatted all three of those suggestions away and was shocked and stunned and deeply saddened but i can get to richard haass about this. when you talk about where she stood on iraq, where she too old on libya, where she stood on afghanistan, where she stood on syria, hillary clinton is far more of an interventionist along the lines of what the republican party has been since george w. bush was
