an ad for rfk junior, president john f. kennedy.and re- edited from the original campaign ad from 1960. except of, course with rfk junior's picture. it was super imposed in the place of jfk. it's pretty clear it was intentionally trying to capitalize on the candidates very famous last name. let's just say the, kennedy family didn't exactly appreciate . -- the son of eunice kennedy had this to say last night on twitter. my cousin super bowl ad used uncles faces in our mother. she would be appalled by's deadly health care of, use respect for science, vaccines and health care equity. she strongly supported my health care work, which he opposes. >> given his extremist views on vaccines, the family has good reason of course to be so appalled. when it comes to political dynasties, the kennedys have long been a part of -- not just a political conversation, but they have also lead the fight for better health care. they promote modern medicine and advanced research. efforts they continue with many generations of kennedys. today when it comes

the campaign said they loved and grateful for it but that was rfk's response. not sure about that how do you not know there's a super bowl ad favoring new going to be on the air. thank you very much, let's go back to the market. why are you predicting strong earnings in 2024 and what does that mean for the market? >> and projecting strong earnings for 2024 and obviously when you have strong earnings that's good to be very good for the health of the market as a whole, heading into this earnings, i'm very surprised by the results about 80% of the companies have be on "the bottom line" which is about 10% higher than the historical average of about 70%. if you rewind back to q3 not a whole lot of major teams were talked about the guidance on commentary because that one more quarter to gather the information on economic data. if you fast-forward to q1 earnings of 2024 is the first quarter of the fourth quarter, not a whole lot of companies are talking about the guidance because that's why the focus on this quarter q4 as been such a focus for the market and since jan

it did get people talking about rfk jr. are a third party candidate that wants to get going, but the temu ad was one that got a lot of people talking and not necessarily in a good way. where do they get their funding from? not really good. >> how about arnold schwarzenegger in the chopper? it was amazing. >> i loved that one as well. i just love arnold schwarzenegger and i love when celebrities are able to play sort of a version of themselves and also play on the things that they're doing. >> coy wire was there. he's a celeb along with so many celebs, coy, at that game. not to mention all over these commercials. >> yeah. there was a house full of celebrities, every kind of, you know, time-out, even stuff that wasn't showing on the broadcast, they were showing everyone from, you know, paul rudd who's a huge chiefs fan. we had blake lively of course, there with taylor swift and leonardo dicaprio was shown on the jumbotron. he didn't know he was on the jumbotron, and he was digging for gold and the stadium went, ew, and an emb

when it is trump, biden, rfk, trump's leader gets bigger. when you throw jill stein and cornell west in, trump goes up 11. the more third part -- the more third party candidates you offer --would you like to speak to this? sarah: go back to the idea of double doubters, double haters. what happens in that situation -- what voters would talk about is the lesser of two evils. if we had a drinking game and every time someone said we have to choose the lesser of two evils and we had to drink, we would all be dead. you are not building a pro-joe biden coalition, you are building an anti-trump coalition. it is right-wing independents, soft gop voters, you need those people. if you give them a unity ticket of joe manchin and larry hogan, those people are right there, they are out. if you give them cornell west, there are a lot of black voters or young voters who are more progressive. anytime you peel off a segment of the people who when push comes to shove about who they hate more, they choose trump and joe biden, you give them france and it fractur

and of course, rfk junior says he wants to get on the ballot in all 50 states ban. i will see about that. i know you're skeptical, but michigan is one that rfk junior is looking good on the ballot next, that's where they're focusing. and michigan, of course, has those primaries tonight. what are you looking at to gauge biden's strength there? and obviously that was as john king said, as far as the swing state goes, very comfortable victory for biden last time around. but david axelrod was saying last night, it appears that will be much closer this time. >> sure. i mean, a michigan is going to be tougher because you got a bunch of constituencies that we need that right now are grumpy to say the least the big muslim community there in michigan, they are not happy with the way that joe biden has been handling the situation in gaza. and you also have a lot of young people of color, especially african american derek guns and some african-american men that are just frustrated in general with the state of things. and so we've got to you've got a very short period of time t

so rfk jr. is joe biden fit to be president? well, i think anybody caprn makn up their mind about that as well as i can. i. i hope that if he has the kind of cognitive challenges special counsel indicated he has and ifl i were in that position, a member of my family or staff would would approach me and assist man gently stepping down. so that's a role for jill biden to play with anybody. what did you say? the r >> was that the roleol for jill? i think she should do. and i think, you know, i think n what president and president biden wants to run becausee thes these issues is a very, veryn pc public settings. he needs to come out and have a unscripted discussions with voters. he needs to have a debatn e. he i tell us what he's going to do about closing the border. tell us what is ths going e american people, what he's going to do about restoring do aheddle class, about ending g the wars forever, wars around the world, about unravelingl corporate capture and all these issuesof the that are critical r country right now. and we need

rfk junior is ballot access. other states biden won by less than eight points in 2020, the super pac that we spoke about earlier trying to get them on the ballot in michigan and nevada, both two very close states that biden won by less than three points. how about new hampshire? he's got the signatures there already. that could be a surprisingly close date. i don't want it rather easily back in 2020, but in 2016, it was decided by less than a percentage points. so rfk could play, but i gotta tell you if it is a plurality victory for either biden or you know, there's a psychological thing that is going to happened to this country if that's where the case harry enten. thank you very much. and thank you all for watching our special coverage of michigan's primary elections >> it's all i'd like four more hours and ms laura you could stick around for another. okay. and one-half minutes >> we'll be back tomorrow night at man's coverage of the elections continues after this break. have a great night >> yeah he go i want

whoa, did rfk or an rfk super pac just run an ad? i think it was a little unexpected.fore the halftime. going to get a lot of eye balls. he has a lot of money behind him. at the same time, it's ironic to watch this. bobby shriver, his grandson have endorsed biden for president and are speaking out against this, but it goes to show you that rfk is not necessarily a minor player in this. will he likely be president? probably not. however, he does stand to takes votes away from a biden or a trump and that's what's making biden and trump nervous and republicans and democrats nervous. they don't know who he's going to take votes away because he has this umbrella of support from republicans, democrats, and independents. >> when you go to these states that are likely going to determine this election and those margins are so small over who's winning the states, you could play a spoiler there. great to the see you. >> thank you. >>> after republicans tanked a bipartisan senate deal, one of president biden's biggest campaign challenges will be the border. how he plans to hold do

i think more than donald trump, particularly with black voters, rfk jr.hey have to work on that, because the name is magic with loads of americans, but i think especially with black americans. >> rfk jr. above dr. west? >> yes, because cornel west is not going to be on any ballots. you have to look at where they're going to be. are they going to get on the ballots in the states that actually count, because tragically, american politics is now so uncompetitive that we could call 40 to 42 states right now, you and i, sitting here. it's the seven, eight states that could actually flip that will determine the election. so i don't think cornel west is going to be on any ballots. rfk jr., if he makes a deal with libertarians, it's possible he could be on all 50. >> and, again, the cnn poll found there's four points between former president trump and president biden, just outside of the margin of error, and 5% say they're going to vote for someone else. so that third-party candidate certainly could be crucial here. let's look at the republicans here in south car

obviously, rfk's messaging as he's invoking his uncle, is a long way away from frank sinatra redoing the lyrics to high hopes in 1960, which he did for jfk. but he's resonating because some of these bizarre conspiracy theories have sounding boards throughout the country. people want that kind of messaging. and the other is his last name that everybody knows. he starts with a name id that most other candidates don't have, other than say, trump. and obviously the incumbent president but also, as i was following, i know that twitter isn't real life. but as i was looking at responses to the ad during the super bowl, you'll people were critiquing the ad. i took a different view. we had millions and millions so people tuned in the biggest event of the year on television. and he was able to send a message to voters who like the poll you referenced, aren't excited about a biden trump rematch. i think it was money well spent. >> yeah. we should note that this super pac american values 2024 is receive $15 million in donations from a republican megadonor and trump named timothy, a melon. we sho

estimated $7 million this year, so who paid for this rfk ad and why is it getting so much backlash. pac that's supporting robert f. kennedy jr.'s independent campaign, it wasn't kennedy's own campaign that did it. it was the super pac. the reason why it's getting so much blow back members of family are so this getting caught up in a loft politics of the kennedy family and robert f. kennedy jr. apologized saying that he did not run the ad. it was his super pac and he's not allowed to coordinate with that. however it's important to note on his twitter page, pinned is that very ad. >> mark murray for us, thank you so much. >>> let's talk about the other less controversial super bowl ad and the game was a nail-biter for the football fans but it was a blowout for brands. which ads scored biggest with viewers. here to break it down is the executive vice president of the association of national advertisers. walk us through what were some of the most effective ones. dunkin donuts full of stars. he's here. >> affleck. >> for your consideration. here comes the boston massacre. >> the dunkings

feeling that i'm better than you, i'm an elite and you're the scum of the earth and you see this with rfk: biden will not allow him to have secret service, won't allow him to have any security. which is incredible. most presidents have had security or candidates for president have had security because you need it. and his father assassinated and yet they won't give him any security. i find this so incredibly stunning. >> that's right. and pro-democracy joe biden shutting down any attempts from other democratic primary candidates, dean phillips, rfk junior, anyone to have ballot access or give an actual exercise of democracy in his own party. >> it's become a hallmark of the democratic party, shut down dialogue. just look at the squad. god forbid you disagree with them. maria: the final hour of "mornings with maria" coming up. after the break, stay with us. we'll be right back. ♪ next. stop. we got it? no. keep going. aga...

rfk was in the wings. a lot of details we could get into. we dug into this to present context tonight. how experts knew that an opponent doing that well inside lbj's own party when he had the white house behind him, that could be curtains from lbj. >> in the democratic party, the important point is that there is a contest at all. usually when an incumbent president is running for re-election, nobody in his own party comes in toal challenge him. senator mccarthy has come to challenge him this time. if mccarthy gets 30% of the vote or more against an incumbent president he can legitimately claim a legitimate victory. >> that would mean there's something going on, some problems, some alerts, some serious opposition. mccarthy won 42% in a result seen as stunning at the time. now, there were many factors driving opposition to lbj from vietnam to domestic unrest. as a matter of political math, lbj knew those numbers meant his party was on the road to rejecting him. he could lose in the primary, to rfk in the wings, could lose the general election.

him basically from the left are, and in the case of rfk jr., his most serious opponent from the libertarian perspective, they're already eating into joe biden's lead -- i mean, his take of the vote. elizabeth, when it's versus donald trump in a five-way race. but when you're going into one of the tates that you flip -- states that you flipped in 2020 and people are going out and saying you're the incumbent, you're the only choice in our party and we're going to vote against you with, a vote for uncommitted is a vote against joe biden and kamala harris, by the way. and i would remind everybody that two short years ago, in 2022, given -- gretchen whitmer, not the most intelligent or impressive governor that we have, frankly, she was overwhelmingly reelected by double digits and act three, reproductive freedom for all, was the big issue on the ballot where young people were register thing and voting on the same day. biden has december patched his official staff to the state of michigan to try to quell the fears and the anger and the protest vote of uncometted particularly among those arab-amer

now, this is the issue whether third party democrat candidates, as we talked about rfk jr., jill stein, cornel west, could hurt biden. let me back up. trump's lead over biden grows by 7 points in swing states like arizona and georgia. when those third party candidates are factored in against joe biden. that's according to real clear polling averages. what do you think? >> absolutely. this is going to hurt joe biden. i mean, we don't even have to have a third party candidate. we have people who are just voting against him to vote against him. he's the third party candidate. it's good news for republicans, it's good news on the women front, it's good news on the student front, and it's good news on the muslim-american front for republicans in michigan and probably elsewhere. elizabeth: got it. tudor dixon, thank you so much. it's good to have you on tonight. we're going to stay on this breaking news. the supreme court will be hearing, is taking up the case for trump's immunity claim in the federal 2020 election interference case. so that story, we're going to stay on it. we've got congre

this is already the grassy knoll of a presidential campaign, and i don't view it as an ad for rfk, ibout. you're exactly right in everything you say. he's not gonna win the presidency. he's not gonna win the kennedy family -- primary. robert kennedy, who's a man i've admired and worked with at times, throughout my life, he's running interference for donald trump now. and it's shocking to everybody. but this was an ad that was paid for by trump supporters who want to see donald trump president. we can't take our eyes off that. and the very fact that he's still keeping it pinned on his account shows he is insincere to his family members as he is to the american voter. >> he's an anti vaxxer. we know that's his thing. but i guess if he consolidates the anti-vax vote, who does that hit more? trump or biden? >> it's all to hurt biden. that's why he's running, that's what the campaign is there for. and he's not running a particularly progressive campaign. he's running to be popular among joe rogan dude bros. he's not recognizable to the man i've known for years at an environmental justice
