krystal can probably attest to this when she ran. i sthaw this with my dad that would say i'd love to give to you, but i'm already maxed ow. -- out. >> the court is supposed to tell us what the constitution says. they've been clear going back to buckley v. valeo, that giving money to candidates is a speech activity and is entitled to a wide variety of protections. it's then up to congress to make the rules to mitigate against that. so like the thing justice briar described, congress could pass a law prohibiting the campaigns from giving money to each other. steve, do you see legislative action that's likely to come in response to this trying to restore some sort of limits on campaigns? >> that was the republicans in charge of the house i think joining this lawsuit. but i think it raises the interesting question, too, clarence thomas -- >> he wanted to go further. >> right. he was saying not only did they say that money is speech and politics, they upheld limits. do away with those limits altogether. >> i'm afraid that's where things

>> i said indeed. >> that was krystal. i'm a little bit of a fan.d. >> are you running for president yourself now that i'm qualified to talk about anyone who -- >> i am not, even though people are obviously clambering for me to run. i have not yet met the constitutionally mandated age. sorry to disappoint you, jonathan. s one thing that you are sort of touching on here is elizabeth warren even if she had doubts about going up against hillary clinton in a primary and being able to ultimately win, isn't there a case to be made that just by being in that primary, she would have an opportunity to push the issues that she really cares about and has been fighting for for quite a long time now, things like fairness for the middle class and dealing with inequality and holding big banks accountable. wouldn't she be in a good position to sort of push the conversation on that through a presidential primary? >> that's a great fundamental question for somebody like elizabeth warren who has such a big following. she -- let's say she wouldn't win a primary, just t

is there a double standard, krystal?ell, there's definitely a double standard, but it's quite complicated. as he's pointing out, women who take leave, even after they have the baby when they are back at work if they have something to do with their family and they have to leave work early, they are judged. in fact, there are studies that show if you send out resumes exactly equal but one indicates a woman's a mother and one indicates she's not, the woman who's a mother has a lower chance of getting the job. dads, on the other hand, are given different latitude in terms of taking time with their family. they are seen as more responsible if they have children, but that doesn't change the fact there's still a very old-school attitude, if you're a real man, you know, be there for the birth and get right back to work. i was surprised that these were views that these gentlemen thought were still okay to espouse. >> not only that, but i sort of got out of that, that if you make more money, then you really shouldn't take time off

that's krystal looking down at us. that's krystal looking over us. and i believe that. >> i think she's right, and, you know, lillian is a great example of what the community is about out there. they're tough people. boston. this situation is what made them strong. it is a situation about boston being stronger, but dealing with the loss of someone so special, it's been a year, but that's just a blink of an eye for these families. a loss that will be felt for the rest of their lives. >> you're absolutely right. we saw it with the dimartino family, when they were here with us. you see no bitterness, no anger. so strong. you see that, really, in everyone who's affected by this. and i think that's the one thing that we can take away from that. it happened right afterward, boston strong, and it continues still today, and you really can't overstate how great that is. >> she reminded me that love overcomes evil. you know? that her love can, can replace the evil that was, you know -- put into their life. >> and they had a real

joaning me now are ryan grim and krystal ball. >> thanks for having me reverend. >> krystal, are they serious? bowing to a japanese robot, what does this tell you about the far right and president obama? and you know you're going to be attacked for bowing tonight. but i looked the other way. but i mean, what does this tell us in all seriousness? >> it's so absurd that part of me wants to laugh and part of me wants to cry. there is nothing that is too far. they criticize his vacations. they criticize his genes. they criticize him showing respect to other foreign dignitaries. >> but a robot. it's not even -- >> showing respect to any being, right? showing any level of politeness here. and that's what's really absurd. for the right, it's not acceptable to be anything other than the big macho man and they confuse sort of action and swagger for intelligence and brooifry and courage. sometime it's much more courageous to be thoughtful, to be contemplative, to be respectful of people in foreign lands. >> well, you know, ryan, the president has been dealing with serious foreign policy issues

joining me now are krystal ball and abby huntsman.hank you for being here. >> do republicans really think they can win women voters by showing waives and daughters in campaign ads? >> i guess they think it's worth a try. but the thing that's funny to me is it's not like republicans have never used wives and daughters in campaign ads before. i don't know any republican daughters who been featured in television ads. >> terrible strategy, terrible. >> so this is not actually a revolutionary strategy. it's either for blackburn to say of course we support equal pay for equal work. they support that right up until the point that it conflicts with their business donors who don't want to have anything to do with the transparency that's involved with this and the potential litigation that comes from discrimination if you do uncover an incident where a woman sun fairly being paid less than what a man is earning. so that's where the conflict comes in. th they want to say they're for equal pay, but they want to do absolutely nothing about it. >>

and he says to you, krystal, listen, a c-section before the season starts. i need to be at opening day, i'm sorry. this is what makes our money, this is how we're going to live our lives. when you open your eyes, what do you say to boomer? >> i don't think that marriage is going to -- hypothetical fantastic call marriage is going to last very long. i mean, first of all, we're talking about three days, two games out of 162-game season that they're freaking out about. it's unbelievable. and they have this idea that baseball, two games of baseball is somehow more important than a child, than a child's birth. then a supporting your wife. and i love the part, well, what are you going to do in those first days anyway, your wife doesn't need your help. you're not doing anything. >> that i believe was the other guy. >> those people have obviously never had a baby and have no awareness of the fact those are the days that the most difficult. >> these guys are father, both of them. >> it's such an old school mentality. >> crystal's point about, hey, this is 2 out of 16

i'm krystal ball, and we do start with the breaking news that l.a. clippers owner donald sterling has been banned for life and fined $2.5 million for that racist rant that was caught on tape. sterling cannot attend practices or games. he is still technically an owner, but commissioner adam silver said he will work through the bilaws of the league to make sure that is soon no longer the case. reaction is pouring in on this big decision. especially in los angeles where game five against golden state is happening tonight. we'll take you there in just a minute, but, first, where all the action is happening now, at that news conference that just wrapped up here in new york. nbc's ron allen was there for the announcement, and, ron, this is pretty unhartered territory here for the league. >> it's pretty clear they're going in the same direction, and it's unprecedented, yes, but it's also a very profound moment for basketball, for the country, even you can say. >> many people said they support the idea. it's an amaze and extraordinary thing when it happens,

and msnbc's krystal ball said i'm obsessed. we have to talk about it on that show. >> how did you get that quote? >> so what is this book that has everyone riled up? it is this. it is called "capital in the 21st century." here it is right here. in it piketty compiles data for the last 200 years and comes to a stark conclusion that without dramatic political action, income inequality is here to stay. joining us now is susan ox, a senior fellow at the aspen institute, to help us understand the craze around this book and what i've been saying is it really fundamentally changes the way that we view our economy and the way that income inequality is growing and what it will look like in the future. >> that's exactly right. and this book is like the harry potter of economic policy. >> whoa! >> you cannot get your hands on a copy of this thing anywhere. it's sold out on amazon. >> that's a big statement. >> it is huge. in a sense it is presenting kind of an alternate reality. what we're used to in terms of economic policy, the prevaili

. >> do they reed bill krystal. when you say troops we think bill krystal.think we should have american boots on the ground in ukraine >> i'm not sure we should. i'm not sure the president of the united states should rule it out. what happens if putin invades ukraine. we stuck to that position in syria. assad used chemical weapons. let's ball club to air power or air support or providing weapons to the ukrainians. is that a bridge too far for president obama. people in ukraine are right to be disappointed in us and i say that with great regret because we don't have an american president who is standing up to putin in the way reagan did. >> but it doesn't seem, you know, if history is any guide, you really think he's motivated by what obama thinks about foreign policy? >> i think he could be deterred by what obama does in foreign policy. putin is worried about the u.s., standing up to him. he's an opportunist. he's moved to take parts of the ukraine, move to take more parts if he doesn't see strength. it's not us alone, it's us leading nato. but he has to see

. >> well, joining me now is the host for msnbc's the cycle krystal ball, and host of the reid report good to see you. and obviously, everybody is happy to see chelsea, and you know that she works over on nbc, but everybody is wondering what impact for hillary clinton to run for president? could it make her more electable. >> well, it is interesting that sort of everything that happens in the clinton's lives is dialed right back to hillary's ambitions. i feel bad for her. do you see how happy she is? there is a working theory about hillary clinton that the two things that could keep her from running were health and chelsea having a baby, because this, you know, the people who know hillary clinton and who were around in clinton world understands that she loves children and she would love to be grandma and to spend a lot of time with a baby. >> and oh, chelsea has said that she has been completely obnoxious saying everyday, when am i going to be a grandma and and as to whether it makes her electable, unfortunately for any women candidates anything that dials back to the traditional femi

he will keep krystal's seat warm in this block. the debate from the other side has rarely been substantive. it's been about boogie men and predicted train wrecks and sort of demagoguery. so many people have it, and that they have to say, well, we have to live with this even though, you know, people like paul krugman say we're still fighting over the new deal. >> well, that moment may be coming. there's something that say democrats are going to -- they may not be confident of actually gaining any seats, but they're going to feel good about themselves in a way they haven't before. >> you look at the ways -- the president, they're talking about the waves of acceptance and what it's going to take for the republicans to get with the program. there are waves of fights over there as well. when this started out, of course, it was a capitalist program. how do we work with the private insurance market, something many republicans have talked about. i was looking back at some of your coverage from then. 2009 when this debate was active, and yo

i'm krystal ball, and we'll have more on the sitdown with kathleen sebelius, and including what she told the president. >>> horror to start one of the holyist. a white supremacist goes on a shooting rampage of two jewish sisters. we have the latest on this tragedy that once again has the attention of the president. we'll have his comments and some of the first woudz from the heart broken families. >> and we're going to spin today about a wild weekend out west. federal authorities in a standoff with hundreds of armed protesters over cattle deep in the nevada desert. i'm abby huntsman. those protesters are claiming vikt, while many others are scratching their heads. >> all that, plus do not adjust your set. i'm going to tell you why jeb bush is right. >> hmm. >> i would caution you against raising hopes that it will result in the detection of the aircraft wreckage. it may not. >> people need to realize that these searches, particularly unfold over owe months and years, not -- certainly not hours and days. >> day 38 in the search for a missing malaysia flight 370 heads to the bottom of the

. >> boom, obamacare burn, krystal. >> erikka, i think one of the most shocking numbers in the poll was in louisiana with mary landrieu, people were thinking was really endangered and here she is up on her opponents big time. the louisiana race is a little bit more complicated. all of these candidates will be on the ballot in november and if no one gets over the 50% mark, then there will be a runoff in december, which looks like where we're headed, but mary landrieu looks to be in a pretty strong position right now. >> i completely think she's in a much stronger position than people give her credit for. she has faced off in runoffs in two of her three elections. the first time she was elected in 1996, in 2002 runoff she won and luckily in 2008 she didn't have to but that was with the lift of obama and his popular vote there at that point but she's going to face another runoff and i think she's the best position to win because mary landrieu has never had an easy race in her entire life. >> that's true. >> every time, that woman is tough as nails. it's the least scientific reason i can gi

eight-year old laura hobbs and nine-year old krystal tobias were sexaully assaulted and stabbed to death nine years ago. torrez lived in the area back then. four years later, he was found guilty of murdering sailor amanda jean snell. sentencing in the snell murder is set for may-30th. lake county prosecutors say *they want to prosecute torrez, too. indiana dunes officials say mount baldy will remain closed for the summer. last july -- six year old nathan woessner fell into a hole at mount baldy - with nearly eleven feet of sand collapsed on top of him - burying him for hours. woessner survived the fall. officials say since then -- two additional holes and a number of depressions have appeared in-and-around mount baldy. testing will continue through this summer -- trying to determine what is causing the holes. all other beach areas within indiana's national lakeshore will remain open. the 400-pound wrigley replica cake, made special for yesterday's 100th anniversary of the ballpark, wound up in a field museum dumpster. the cake started the day at wrigley field, then was sent to the field

torrez has been linked, by d- n-a evidence, to the stabbing deaths of young laura hobbs and krystal tobias in zion in 2005. the cook county sheriff's office is reopening its investigation into alleged sexual abuse by a chicago priest. just a week ago, father michael o'connell was reinstated as postor of saint alphonsus church in lakeview, when a sexual abuse complaint in december proved unfounded. but now, a man has come forward to say he witnessed o'connell molesting a boy in 1999, at a south suburban gym. two people were injured after a car crashed into a starbucks in schaumburg. a 71-year-old driver lost control of their car and slammed into the starbucks on barrington road yesterday. police say a woman mistook the gas for the brakes. two customers inside suffered minor injuries. a very expensive, high-tech wheelchair stolen from a home on the south side. 19-year-old ondelee perteet was shot five years ago, and left paralyzed. but his 20 thousand motorized dollar wheelchair was stolen over the weekend-- forcing him to use a manual chair. he has no function of his right arm to maneuver t

billy krystal has been a fan of the clippers ever since they moved to los angeles from san diego. will billy go to the game tomorrow night? it's a quandry. it's sad. i'm sickened by it. >> larry i want to make clear you speak for boston us when you say the man apparently said something despicable for which there is zero defense. however i'm glad you brought up the woman and we don't know if she's the one that rolled tape but i found it odd, i printed out the entire transcript. at the end of that portion which was revealed she says i'm sorry. is there anything i can do to make you feel better. i'm listening to this, she is of some kind of mixed race and after what purports to be an hour long conversation where he says one ugly thing after another, would she be apologizing to him and asking may i do anything to make you feel better? read those tea leaves for me if you can. >> well, my guess is no one is very -- no one comes out good in this. she does not come out good either first for the whole way she act. she's set him up. i would be stupid not to think that tmz paid for these tap

weekly standards bill krystal calls the poll, quote, bogus, but clearly there are signs that the democrats may be in a better position in parts of the country that we thought were given republican. >> you know, that is certainly the case. and democrats should actually be hoping that these more extreme candidates end up doing better in the primaries, because it only helps these democratic candidates, because they can then pick up some of these republicans, mainly business minded republicans who feel they have nowhere else to go, because their only option is so extreme. this is evidence, though, that the tea party is still alive and well. they are very passionate about the things they believe in, and as jonathan was pointing to, we see the folks that vote in the primaries tend to be more on the extreme, which is why we're seeing mainstream candidates like mitch mcconnell being polled to the far right, but i promise you the minute he ends up -- i'm guessing he'll end up winning the primary, he'll shift back to the center very, very quickly. a state like georgia is a perfect example, where mic

the grandma of krystal campbell, i talked to a few days after krystel was lost. message is, listen, we've got to move on, whatever they do with the bad guy, they do with them. i just want them not to exist and i want to remember how we move forward in boston. john king made a good point this mo morning, it's not boston strong, it's boston stronger, because it was always strong. >> interesting, my best friend is running the marathon this year. she did a training run last week, chris. and i called her in the middle of it and she was in tears. and she said, lisa, what's wrong, and she said, oh, mel, i came through wellesley. she's about eight miles in. there was a water spot. there on the table was the picture of martin richard. the little boy that was killed. when she looked up, martin richard's mom was there and gave lisa this huge hug and so to think about what it's going to be like on the actual race day. they're expecting 1 million people to come out and watch this race. >> rightly. it should be the biggest and best ef. right now, you have to speak about americ

i'm krystal ball. the malaysians don't know. the australians don't know.easoned american investigator have answers? we'll ask him. >>> in today's trip down abby's road, my passenger is kenneth depage, so fasten your seat belts. >>> good afternoon. as we all try to find our way through another american tragedy, the shooting at ft. hood, texas. we are waiting for another update in about an hour. this is the man army investigators say is behind it. 34-year-old ivan antonio lopez. a man with symptoms of depression and anxiety evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder, but never officially diagnosed with it. also not considered violent

you don't have to be a sports fan like krystal ball to have a feeling about this story?use of racist comments. when big news breaks, there's only one place to be, people. the cycle. >> to go after mr. putin personally. our goal is to change his calculus with respect to how the current aekzs that he is engaging in in ukraine could have an adverse xwashgt on the russian economy over the long haul and to encourage him to actually walk the walk and not just talk the talk when it comes to diplomatically resolving the crisis in ukraine. >> cycling now. time to walk the walk when it comes to the crisis in ukraine. good afternoon. we a lot to get to today. president obama also addressed those terrible storms over the weekend that claimed several lives. we continue to focus on that tragic trail as we start a new week. more on that ahead. we want tough new sections against -- to get russia to sta stand down when it comes to ukraine, and the president insists this may not be all. >> we are keeping in research

in the republican establishment, it still totes very heavily towards cheney, the neo-cons and bill krystal and they're not going down without a fight. this is a defining fight for the republican party as they see it. >> well, ron, i think that may well be true for rand paul. i think like his father ron paul, he's truly an isolationist in the sense that he wants the u.s. to basically be fortress america, defend ourselves but don't do any adventures overseas and he probably sees both iraq wars in that way. do you think he'll back down and say you know, i was wrong. i'm going to eat the crow and say yeah, we should have gone into iraq twice. we should have lost all those men over there. >> no, no. the big difference is the landscape has changed. we're in a sluggish economy. we have had two wars that yielded so very little that cost so very much. that is indisputable. i think what rand paul is trying to do, and others will follow, this is the new republican party. we're moving in another direction. frankly, many of the people in the republican base, say what they are, will struggling right now
