florida's governor rick scott sibed that law yesterday at high school in melbourne, florida. it was students at that school who came up with the idea for the law when they found out many of their u.s. flags weren't made here. their teachers couldn't be more proud. >> you talk all the time and read inside the textbook how all these different things happen, how this happened in history, that happened in history. we're kind of in a little part of history right now. >> the law officially takes effect on january 1st. >>> apple's reportedly accelerating efforts to build an electric car. "wall street journal" says the auto is now officially a committed project for the tech giant and could be available in four years. the project is is code named titan. and has a green light to triple the number of people working on it. the titan would not be a driverless car at least not at first. >> the head of volkswagen's operations in the u.s. puts it bluntly. the automaker quoting here screwed up. >> it rigged diesel cars to report emission levels lower than they were. here's more from david ker

researcher joined a group of climate scientists for a meeting with florida's republican governor, rick scott posted online. >> when we are trying to get resources from the state of florida they can't talk about the climate change part of it. >> christopher is a former florida state attorney, working on waterway issues. he told al jazeera america he was put on notice. >> they said if you know what's good for you we will not use the terms climate change, global warming, sea level rise or sustainability. >> reporter: governor scott denies there's a policy against discussing climate change. >> department of environment protection - look, there's lots issue. >> what is hard for politicians to get their head around is how to respond to what will happen in 2100. >> reporter: that's when miami beach could be under 6 feet of water. what is your opinion when republicans say man has not caused climate change. >> as mayor, i don't have the liberty or time to debate why climate change is happening. all i have is the opportunity to fix it. that bay is not republican, it's not democrate, it knows no limits

scott walker in his bid for the white house and is pushing other republicans to gain up on frontrunner donald trump. >> first it was rickcott walker ends his quest for president. it is still a big field. scott walker is urging other republican candidates to follow his lead. >> i encourage other republican presidential candidates to consider doing the same so that the voters can focus on limited number of candidates who can offer a positive conservative alternative to the current frontrunner. >> he is referring to donald trump right there. walker's decision surprised him but he is praising the wisconsin governor as well as rick perry. >> he actually took conservative ideas and applied them where everybody had a chance to rise up to be successful. >> as walker exits dr. ben carson enters. a storm of criticism for saying he believes a muslim cannot serve as president of the united states. he told sean hannity he stand by his comments but added more clarification. >> if someone has a muslim background and clearly will swear to place our constitution above their religion, then of course they will be considered infidels and h

rick pear, scott walker left last week. what does this say? >> something about scott walker not as good as candidate. but also says something about state of the republican party. significant states are out and meanwhile retired neurosurgeon a former ceo and celebrity billion they're are still in the race in the hunt. it tells you something about the mood of the republican electorate which is, we don't like what we've been seeing, we're willing to entertain candidates that seem quite extraordinary. >> dickerson: what does something do to have been in politics in their life? >> i think you are seeing that. scott walker's support appears to have gone to marco rubio has been in poll techs his entire life. what you have seeing here, there's some other lessons roswell. lot of talk about super pacs, one of the reasons you had 17 people in the republican field that alone cannot actually get you over the finish line. and i think what you're going to see you can probably have some more poem dock out that's probably good for the field. it's allowing focu

built an ark to mock governor rick scott's climate change policies in florida. that has earned him enemies on the right. but california billionaire, former hedge fund manager tom steyer remains undeterred. i got the opportunity to sit down with him last week to discuss his activism and the evolution of climate change politics. >> i don't think it's unusual for a generation of americans to be faced with one overwhelming issue. that was true of my parents' generation. it was true of my grandparents' generation. and i strongly believe that the issue that will prove whether or not our generation succeeds or fails is going to be how we react to climate. and i see that as an issue which is actually a human issue. it is exactly right in line with the way that pope francis articulates it in terms of its impact on people, our ability to take care of each other and take care of the planet. >> but when do you come -- i mean, when did you come to that realization? there's -- people are fired by different things, whether it's politically or ideologically. and people that hav

the red ants, not only do they not do anything about it, florida governor rick scott refuses to do anythingout it. even though miami is flooded or in war every year. so i don't have an answer of how you make this happen. because i think to an extent better messaging matters, but you have such a highly funded corporate campaign to ensure nobody knows science is complicated and put in people's mind. people don't have the time to follow the details of climate science. it is very easy to ignore or be confused about it. it's a really hard question. >> it's interesting because one of the things and i joke about you being optimistic but i kind of think when what we hear about climate change we turn it off. the fact you give us this series away to move forward. it makes it easier to accept that this is horrifying but we can do something about it. when i saw just drink more wine. i joke with you about being optimistic, but i want you to talk about that. >> the conservative corporate lobby has been very successful at one thing and they do so in a number of ways. some of it out right lying, but also t

the parenthood hadn't done any of these horrible things they were accused of, florida governor rick scottok that result out of the investigator's report and wrote up his own results which were more to his liking. in state after state after state they keep finding despite all the considerable anti-be plan the parenthood activism by republicans right now and these screaming allegations from anti-abortion groups this year, this he keep finding over and over and over again in blue states and red states, this keep finding planned parenthood isn't doing anything wrong. this is the health care provider of choice for millions of american women. the most recent polling on the subject of planned parenthood shows that americans have a higher who opinion of planned parenthood than, well, than any other person or political entity that nbc or the "wall street journal" could think to poll on. look at this from the latest nbc poll that came out this weekend. donald trump was the most disliked, a net 33% net approval rating. republican party was the second worse off, are 16%, jeb bush was the third worst

. >>> what would you do specifically that you did as governor, you can argue rick scott as governor thatas president. >> reforming our tax code is maybe the highest priority. it is going to be hard to do because there's a lot of entrenched interests, lowering rates, lowering as many deductions as possible. >> jeb bush promised me then, we were in lineup for a republican event, he would release a plan to simplify the tax code, to encourage investment, to renew that $19 billion revenue turnaround he saw in florida in eight years as governor there. he did just that today but kind of fell on deaf ears because of all of the shenanigans and heated debate back and forth outside the capitol on this iran deal. trying to understand all of this, mark hanna says for republicans it is not helping them. mark, your fear or happy hope is that republicans are just falling on the donald trump -- >> this is one of the big policy ideas of the republican primary. right now, nobody is paying attention. everybody is paying attention to what donald trump was saying. >> or hillary clinton, and whether she goes t

i'm sitting here in a state where the most unpopular governor in the country, rick scott, who you can'tne who says they are a fan of just got re-elected. i think what the clinton would tell you, no matter what her favorables look like she is in a commanding position versus the other democratic candidates. she remains in a commanding position. when you look at democrats and their attitude toward the e-mails those stories haven't hurt her among her core base. i think hillary's biggest problem is the e-mail issue is playing out in a congressional committee, controlled by the opposition party that is determined to keep drip, drip, dripping out information about it and it's something that is getting traction in the press. she cannot get away from it. i think it will draw down her favorables. i don't know if it changes her position in the race, at least not right now. >> we go back to this very pressure report about bryan pagliano intend ing to plead the fifth amendment when asked to testify before the benghazi committee. it is hard to figure out what he would fear a self incrimination about.

but floridians, not only do they not do anything about it, but florida governor rick scott refuses tohing about it, denying that it exists. even though miami is getting flooded more and more every year. >> yeah. >> and so i don't have a good answer of how you make this happen. i mean, you just, you know, because -- you know, i think that, yes, to an extent better messaging about this matters, but you have such a highly funded corporate campaign to insure that nobody knows. science is complicated, it's easy to put doubt in people's minds. people don't have the time to follow the details of climate change. they have soccer practice for their kids. it's very easy to be confused about it, and exxonmobil does a heck of a job making that happen. it's a really hard question. >> it's interesting, because i also think one of the things -- and i joked about you being very on themyic, but i -- optimistic, but i kind of hear when we think what we hear about climate change is just doom, we turn it off. but the fact that you give us here is a way to challenge this, here is a way to move forward, th

. >> reporter: scott walker ran out of money, and make no mistake, the republican field is very noisy. rick perry and scott walker, those who are left the word in edgewise. >> i will suspend my campaign immediately. >> scott walker urged candidates struggling in the polls to follow suit sought an alternative to donald trump can rise. >> i encourage other presidential candidates to consider doing the same so the voters can focus on limited number of candidates who can offer a positive conservative alternative to the current front runner. >> that front runner donald trump tweeted i got to know scott walker well, use a nice person with a great future. even with what route from his many people not been at his heels. in an interview that aired on fox news channel, one of his challengers, ben carson double down on his comments that he would not support a muslim president. >> if someone has a muslim background and they are willing to reject those tenets and to accept the way of life and we have and clear the wills where to place our constitution above their religion then of course they will be con

republican presidential candidates rick perry and scott walker, wisconsin ranger. already hit the eject button on the respective campaigns and other stragglers are eyeballing the emergency exit so what are the do's and don'ts when you take the exit realm on the would washington i to the white house? former white house press secretary and the author of do's and don'ts. so let's get to some of these because this is really interesting timing for a lot of these candidates. they're not going to make the main stage. i don't think they should have two stages at the next debate. your first do is when you decide to step out of the race, write your own resignation statement yourself. >> yes. so you mention scott walker and actually when he resigned, he wrote that statement himself, and i thought that was the best thing to do because at that point you're not giving a wrote speech, you're not on a stump, you're speaking from your heart and the supporters and the people that got up every morning that support you, they deserve to hear from you and your own voice. lisa: and it's

. >> reporter: scott rick, professor of marketing at the university of michigan and his team of researchers took an even closer look. actually scanning shoppers' brains. >> and we found the more evidence of pleasure or activation in regions that are targeted by dopamine, the more likely they were to buy the good consistent with the notion of, similar brain region that underlies craving for drugs, sex or friends. >> reporter: they were surprised to learn something else. >> there is this pain associate with spending. and to the best that we could tell there seems to be a tradeoff. a weighing of pleasure versus pain. >> reporter: yes according to rick spending actually causes us stress. was that the case for alex? we turned back to our facial tracking experiment to find out. >> i definitely find some awesome pieces at forever. and so inexpensive. i don't even look at price tags. i need a denim shirt. >> reporter: she seems to be enjoying herself. but her brain is saying something else. tightening of the lips and scanning items, indicate she is disappointed and feeling stressed according to fac

planning your own. >>> all right, a little over an hour away from scott walker formally suspending his presidential campaign. he'll join rickr of scott walker. anthony scarmucci on the phone right now. i understand you had a chance to speak to the governor. what did he tell you? >> reporter: i don't want to steal his thunder, but i think the governor recognizes it's time to become a team republican and consolidate race now into a few people, get less people on that stage and then it will be easier for the population and the voters to pick somebody. i'm saddened by the decision, but i recognize why he did it and i respect him a great deal. it's not like a business deal. as an entrepreneur, i would have stuck in with him, but policies are a big part of business, and i think the governor as a team republican is making a great decision on behalf of the party. he's a young man, he's going to live to fight another day. he's got a wonderful track record, and i have to tell you this, neil, as much as i like you, he's right in my category. >> we learned of others that leave the race early. joe biden can get into bigger things down t

. >>> jeb bush, lindsey graham, rick perry, and scott walker, they've all taken jabs at donald trump and see him do nothing but distance himself from the polls. this morning trump is taking heat from two other presidential contenders who have been on the rise. >> if anybody can show me how you can actually round up these people who aren't necessarily going to be cooperative and how that's not going to jam up the court system and cost enormous amounts of money -- >> dr. ben carson taking aim at donald trump on his signature issue immigration at an california event wednesday night, carson criticizing trum oop's proposal of mass deportation of illegal immigrants, but it's the retired neurosurge neurosurgeon's attack on trump's faith that could sting the most. >> i don't in any way deny my faith in god. that's a very big part of who i am. humility and fear of the lord. i don't get that impression with him. >> carson has seen his poll numbers rise in iowa on the strength of support from evangelical voters. predictably trump responded on twitter, writing, wow, i'm ahead of the field with e

rick. and scott walker. said tens ofac millions of dollars when they themselves are not of money. blocking and tackling of a campaign still needs to exist. raise hardate can dollar money and have enough the function, they will have the money to function for a long time. that might make the campaign go longer. points me to me is that donors do not really like eighth place finishes in iowa or ninth place finishes in new hampshire. so those checks may start to try out. an issue. i want to convey one thing. i have been e-mailing back and inth with a lawmaker who was the room when boehner told the conference this and some remarks coming out as lawmakers are walking out. paul ryan just told reporters he does not want this job. anything can happen. abouters just finding out this now. paul ryan has made clear, leadership is not a place he wants to be, particularly if he sees a way forward on tax reform. he is telling reporters now that he does not want the job as figure of the house. that takes out a key candidate. to a lawmaker who just e-mailed me, given caller from boehner, it was an e

in july with absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing, florida republican governor rick scott ordered investigations of planned parenthood clinics. had all the trappings of a witch-hunt. in august after the agency for health care administration had determined and written a draft press release that said however there is no evidence of the mishandling of fetal remains of any of the 16 clinics we investigated across the state, that didn't fit governor scott's political narrative. so his office scrubbed the press release of that language. . what i'm going to ask unanimous consent to submit to the record is the press release that was drafted by the agency for health care administration for florida before governor scott's office scrubbed the language on the finding. in fact, the press secretary for the agency said, i would have thought a line on no handling of fetal remains would be included. that's what questions will be on. the agency's secretary wrote back and said, she agreed. but reporters subsequently obtained the scrub press release. apparently these had to go to the governor's office to be purifie

. >> at that time was 5000 rick scott. we saw the high-paying jobs really be let go. some of the top job creators. >> that is going to be nasa little bit of the upcoming job numbers which will show a decent game. look at how much money are the people making a service that are jobs. maria: to rig guys make $100,000 to $150,000 a year. the mayor cut it's a big deal. they go and spend the money and the economy. the expert patients 201,000 private sector jobs added to the economy. that's followed by the labor department reported friday. the question is what is this mean for the economy and federal reserve? dagen: the federal reserve rate now kind of guide to using john hill some rough language. there is no indication over the weekend from jackson hole and no indication from a voting member that the federal reserve won't move between now and the end of the year. the expectation for friday as of midday yesterday was 220,000 jobs added last month right in line with with what we're receiving the two previous months. a little bit less come a little bit or then in july. 5.2% on

not insignificant that two of the candidates now, rick per rained scott walker, were both on the right end of the republican party. and he didn't seem sure footed on national issues. he switched his stance on immigration, for example. there are other issues where he seemed to adjust. i think there were some governors, reagan and bill clinton being the obvious, who are really tuned into national issues. i think it took scott walker more time than was good for him in the end to really get locked in on those issues. i have heard that from conservatives who have talked to him, who were trying to advise him. so, i think it's the money, but the money is both the cause and a symptom of another problem. >> the cause and the symptom, susan del percio, we have the money. we have the polls. does one plus one equal three here? and he getting a call perhaps from a big funder, perhaps the koch brothers, we don't know, and then he reacts, his campaign staff says it's time to move on, you put those two together and it looks a little bit too insur mountable? >> he actually didn't need to get the call f

. >> rick perry and now we have scott walker. some call for dr. carson to maybe follow in the footsteps for different reasons. for saying that a muslim should not be the president josh ernest in the white house reprimanding dr. ben carson saying there will be consequences to what you said. watch. >> he has been not just a tendency but a willingness on the part of successful republican politicians and dr. carson in many of the polls ranks second or third. we've seen willingness on the part of many of those candidates to countenance offensive views, all in pursuit of political support. in the case of republican primary and pursue votes is not something that's consistent with the values of the vast majority of americans. you know, ironically enough, i do think that the views articulated by dr. carson are entirely inconsistent with the constitution that does actually guarantee the freedom of religion in this country. so ultimately, there will be con kwenss. >> josh ernesto owe i wish he would slow down with his remarks. we need another hour for the sh

the loss of scott walker and rick perry, two governors out of the race, jeb bush made a comment yesterday where he said these two guys are serious snarkyves and then made comments about backbenchers who don't get anything done but file amendments. jeb bush wants to be the guy who knows how to run something. by putting forward ideas about how he would run the federal government, he wants to be the establishment consensus of candidates that scott walker said republicans must rally around. "new york times" todline says jeb push plans alter federal regulations to invigorate the economy. times" a "new york headline. toward us. joyful he wants to be substantive. john: that should be on a bumper sticker. phil: he wants to take it back to what he did as florida governor and show he has policy that can last. for a while, chris christie was in the pole position, putting out substance. jeb bush has done this almost every 10 days since late summer, coming out on every issue and laying down markers on policy. he wants to be a grown-up in the room when republicans turn away from the children. has final

for him to attack anyone's appearance when he looks like he has a squirrel on his head. >> rick perry's out. scottker has dropped from first place in the quinnipiac poll in iowa to tenth place in the poll out today. scott walker is falling off the map. donald trump winning there and everywhere else. donald trump's campaign said they have given out 20,000 tickets for a donald trump speech in dallas on monday. bobby jindal really did just tell cbs that donald trump shouldn't make fun of carly fiorina's appearance since he looks like a squirrel is sitting on his head. the republican race for president this year is so nutty and swerving so unpredictably right now if it were a car and you were a cop you would pull it over and breathalyze it. on the democratic side that race starting to weave in and out of its lanes. i can give you hot off the presses polling from the brand new msnbc marist poll, one interesting new angle on what's going on among the democrats. this full poll is not going to come out until next week. we have an advance look at the matchups they polled on for hillary clinton and joe bide

the loss of scott walker and rick perry, to governors, notably, who have gotten out of the race.eb bush man, where he said that these two guys are serious executives and know how to govern, and they are gone. then he made a comment about legislators who do not get anything done except file mms. jeb bush wants to be the guy who knows how to run something. by talking about things that he has run and putting forward ideas about how he would run the federal government. he wants to be that establishment candidate that scott walker said last night republicans must rally around. >> let me tell you what mike steele and all of miami really liked. a headline says that jeb bush plans to alter federal regulations to invigorate the economy. that is a "new york times" headline that they love it --. this is the joyful tortoise. >> that should be on a bumper sticker. >> to be able to pick it back to what he did as a floor to governor, which some of his plan does my and show that he has policies that could last. >> for a wow chris christie was in a good position. jeb bush now has done this almost

nothing to say that scott walker couldn't come back and stage a successful stand in iowa. >> except he was running out of money very quickly as supporters were abandoning him. we have rickee-term governor of texas. he dropped out first. now scott walker, two-term governor of wisconsin, he drops out. i suspect more governors, current and former will probably be next, outsiders, those never elected will do incredibly well. why? >> well, there is no stronger force in american politics than the outsider dynamic and carly fiorina is the beneficiary of performances and that's - reflected in the host most recent polls but with more buzz is more scrutiny and she has to prepare for attacks on her business record. this is what the devil mitt romney in the last election and sometimes what is thought to be smart and successful in the world of business doesn't always translate into the the world of politics. so she needs to get ready for those attacks. i thought when barbara boxer used those business attacks against her in 2010 they were very affected. having been through that, i think carly fiorina has all her ducks in a row and will be able to respond when those attacks come. >> t

wisconsin governor scott walker joins texas governor rick perry on the side lines, the only two candidates to suspend their campaigns. governor scott walker isout of presidential race before the first vote is even cast. >> i will suspend my campaign immediately. >> walker says the race has turned too negative. >> i believe that i'm being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race so that a positive conservative message can rise to the top of the field. >> without mentioning his name, walker hinted that donald trump is the problem. he encouraged other candidates in the race to drop out, too. >> so that the voters can focus on a limited number of candidates who can offer a positive conservative alternative to the current front runner. >> walker was once leading the field in iowa and scored high in the polls nationally, but he wilted over the summer as he had trouble connecting with voters. the latest national poll showed walker with an asterisk by his name meaning that he had close to 0% support. >> as a candidate he was lackluster. on the stump he didn't have a lot of enthusi

. >> trump will go through the list of people, name by name, he talks about rick perry and scott walkersays look what happens when people come after me, they plummet in the polls. but it doesn't seem like it's play iing out with rubio. >> rubio knows the trump act is getting old. that it's like when chris christie first told someone to sit down and shut up, everybody cheered. after the 50th time, it became boarish. that's what is happening with trump. it's becoming too much and it's masking a lack of substance on his part. trump launched his tax reform today and marco rubio got him to step on his story by calling him a lightweight. so he's succeeding. second, he's going after -- the poll shows bush has 7% of the vote right now. marco rubio wants that 7% and he wants jeb bush's donors and he's trying to show he can punch back the way jeb bush couldn't. >> let's look at the latest poll showing how tight things are. donald trump just one percentage point ahead of ben carson. so basically in a statistical tie. what do you make of those numbers? >> debates matter. before the cnn debate, dona

. >> we've seen good friends of ours, rick perry and scott walker drop out who are absolutely talentedple. but this is not a year where that by itself is enough. so then you got a race between jeb, who has enormous assets still, between rubio who is extraordinarily talented and gets very good remarks in every debate and john kasich who i think is probably the most innovative governor in the country. those three guys really are in a contest over here for traditional candidate, if you will, somebody who has held office, operates within the traditional system, would manage it much better than obama but is not a radical. over here you have the four radicals. >> of all those, who do you see having the best chance at this moment the break through that other classic candidate? >> listen, if you had said to me a week ago we'd be talking with scott walker no longer in the race -- >> i would have been shocked. he was a great governor, i agree with you. let me ask you this question. republicans are going to battle over the funding of planned parenthood. there's a group of republicans that want to

first of course is my old governor from texas rick perry and scott walker joins the crowd. he will not be the last one donald trump pushes out. >> anna, he didn't just say he's dropping out but called on other republicans to drop out but implied for the party to get beyond donald trump, the field needs to consolidate. >> last parting stroke to donald trump, all he had to say was hey, donald, i'm talking to you. very of youbvious who he was ta to. he wants the field to windle down so the anti trump field can go back to an optimistic message. i think scott walker is terrific governor of wisconsin just out of his league in this and had to face a financial reality running for president costs money. it's an expensive endooefer. you have to pay staff and cost and have to face a political reality. he did not have a path to the nomination and i think there say personal reality. it's tough to run for president when you do it for real achlt lot of travel and time away from home, away from his state, away from his wife and kids, away prm his bed. you know, it's a tough reality i think
