. >> and i'm joined now by nbc's halley jackson, robert costa with "the washington post," and nbc's katy, who's at a trump event in myrtle beach, south carolina, that's going on behind her right now. robert, let me start with you just on this poll out of iowa now and where this republican race stands in iowa. so it looks like, is this as simple as, the evangelicals who are such an important part of that republican electorate in iowa, they're giving up on carson and moving to cruz? >> i wouldn't say they're giving up on carson. they're certainly starting to fade away from the doctor. you see people connect to cruz, a movement conservative, who has roots on the right. when i was there with cruz over the weekend, he was connecting with them in a visceral way, talking about his faith and the future of the country. and he's avoided attacks from trump for this entire campaign, but they could be coming as he continues to ascend. >> yeah, katie, that's something i'm starting to notice with ted cruz. he made a kind of opaque statement over the weekend, saying that some in the republican party, he

let me go to robert costa. what did you see about tonight? thought it was somewhat familiar, boardroom this ashen about how to lower tax rates for the better off, basically. then i saw this fight over immigration which i thought was interesting because trump has the hot hand in the republican party if you look at the numbers. bush comes back and plays the practical, pro-immigrant guy. he comes off as pro-immigrant. i think that may be a weaker card. your thoughts. >> the fault lines were drawn tonight on two key issues, foreign-policy and on immigration. on immigration, you had the order hawks versus the more pragmatic republicans. on foreign-policy, rand paul did have a moment. he has been trying to search for this libertarian argument all year to revive his father's these in places like iowa. paul is not the only one with a noninterventionist view. trump is making the same case to those voters. we see the fault lies been drawn as this race unfolds. >> he isn't economic nationalist on every front, including not wanting to get involved overse

robert costa, national political reporter with "the washington post." michael steele, this guy can get away with charlie chan impressions. what's this, "we want deal," we don't even notice that he talks like this anymore. but it is tough talk. is he going to be able to stay on message, so knock everybody's block off, because as he's told us a few times, he's a multi, multi-billionaire? >> yeah, you know, i think this is an opportunity for him to try to take a different tact. don't come after ben carson or anyone else on that stage on the personal stuff, on the things that the press has been talking about on the last few days. this is his sweet spot. show us how you make the art of the deal. show us how you create the jobs and have been a part of this economic pulse of the country in a way that these other candidates have not. i think for donald trump, this is a defining moment. this is his sweet spot, as was said before. you're either going to show us that or just wind up rolling off the stage ultimately, and you'll get usurped by a ben carson or a, you

and on capitol hill political reporter for "the washington post," robert costa.here's what donald trump said yesterday about his plans to deport all undocumented immigrants from the country beginning with his exclusive appearance on our show in manchester. >> tell me the how. are you going to have a massive deportation force? >> you're going to have a deportation force. and you're going to do it humanely. >> how are you going to pay for this? >> very inexpensively. are they going to get ripped out their homes? >> that are going from where they came. if they came from a certain country, they go back to that country. they can come back but can come back illegally. dwight eisenhower, brought them to the border, they came back, let them go again, they came back, they them go again and they came back and after the third time he moved them all the way south and they didn't come back. >> do you know what the term he used for it was? >> yes, but i wouldn't use that. >> according to a 2006 "christian science monitor" report, eisenhower employed a west minute clapoint clas

ron reagan and robert costas, a report with "the washington post." robert, give us a sense of the quantity, the quality and the tone of the difference between these two front-runners and how they would get the people we now see as the bad guys? >> essentially with hillary clinton versus donald trump, the difference between the two parties. on the one handled at least a party nominal of adults, a sophisticated multilevel plan, essentially a neoconplan. we could argue about that in terms of how many troops of ours, if we're talking special forces, but to contrast, you've got donald trump, who really doesn't know anything about this and is relying on bluster. i'll bomb the -- out of them is not a strategy, it's an attitude. it's a gut feeling. it's understandable, and i'm sure it will appeal to some people, but hillary clinton is at least dealing with her mind. she's got a plan that comes from the intellect, not just the gut. that's the basic distinction. >> i think hillary clinton is hugging close to the obama strategy. i wouldn't call it a radical chan

anyway, i'm joined right now by the roundtable, robert costa, national political reporter with "the washingtoni przybyla with "usa today," and ranesh with the "national review." start with that, robert. you're all covering the people out the there and the politicians. is that all you have to do is bang the clanger and say things suck and people trust you now? say things are good, people don't trust you? >> i've been struck this year in my reporting, whether i'm at a senator sanders rally or a donald trump rally, you sense the same frustrations, towards the banks, about the economy, about stagnant wages. to me, that's the defining issue. a frustration and anger that's boiling up on both sides. >> is there a sense, when people read about the proliferation of billionaires, because we never heard of them growing up, lots of billionaires, that somebody's skimming the cream off our economic productivity? that the worker bee still goes to work in the morning, does his 50-some hours a week, comes home sweaty, beat, and has a beer and he realizes, i'm not making anymore money, but i'm reading about bil

i trust robert costa, "romney's friends are privately discussing if a late entry is possible."'re asking, which romney? willard romney? no, mitt romney. the guy who ran and didn't win. i feel like i need to get the republican donor class on the couch and just tell them to calm down. but maybe i'm wrong and maybe they're right that ben carson and donald trump really have a shot at this thing. >> the panic is really. they're looking back at mitt romney. and that's the solution? that's just amazing. but it's understandable, right? because right now, half of the republican primary electorate wants a guy who said the pyramids were built to hold grain? and the other guy wants a guy who says with a straight face that we can humanely deport 11 million illegal immigrants. that is half of the republican primary. these are the guys who are winning. so if you're an establishment mega donor or a hedge fund billionaire, you want somebody who's more friendly to your interests, you're pulling your hair out a little bit. as far as i'm concerned, it passes the smoke test. >> betsy woodruff, than

joining me "the washington post" robert costa, who has been covering the race for the republican nominationt boring. robert, good to see you. >> good to see you.. >> a lot of conversations on the republicans this week. in the context of what's been going on, and i guess we always look back to what the strategy, or at least we remember it was in times past. are you surprised at the level of rhetoric, the controversy that's being brought forward, or is this just more of the same in a campaign year that surprised all of us? >> well, the paris attacks in all of this discussion about foreign policy, national security, come during the heart of primary season for republicans, and there were some in the party who thought there would be a turn toward more mainstream candidates, jeb bush, marco rubio or perhaps governor kasich. we haven't seen that in the latest polling. in fact, the bombastic rhetoric seems to be connecting with gop primary voters. >> you know, republicans at least conventional wisdom has always been have an edge when foreign policy and terrorism are at the forefront, and obviously

. >> joining us to sort through all it this, mercedes schlapp, robert costa a national political reporter for "the washington post" who covers trump, and penny lee, a democratic strategist and commentator. so ben carson made a mistake, accomplice ko backing off the screaming headline. was this a legitimate story? >> i reply politico go an "f" in reporting. they even had to change the headlines. >> claimed west-point -- and they also said he had applied, about you in fact carson had never made that case, so again, i think politico got it wrong in this says. >> you say "f" in reporting, you think the story never should have been published? >> i think think the facts wrong. yes, i think they never should have reported. >>> carson used very strong language, liars, witch-hunt, garbage. he seems offended that -- >> they rise through the ranks in house races, gubernatorial races, and the press gradually vets these candidates. but we're seeing an uncomfortable confluence with the press and dr. carson. they're digging into his record, and it's just -- the way it's unfolding is uncomfortable. but b

robert costa, thank you very much. we'll be reading your front page piece today. must read opinion pages are next and one week from today, one week, know your value. orlando, we're going to orlando. mar at that is going to be there. martha and racheal in the same room, same day. the director laura brown. super model emme, vanessa deluca. >> were no men invited? >> joe is going to be there, tom is going to be there. >> i didn't get invited. >> i got invited once. >> will you guys do me a favor and help me kick off the next round? >> yeah. >> you promise? really? >> what about. >> i was ushered out. >> you were carefully ushered out of the room. well, we can do an episode with donnie on that. oh my god. that's a good one. you coming to a know your value event as donnie. that would be so inappropriate. please, tell the producers. this is friday, november 20th. we're expanding the room. massive interests. for tickets and information go to msnbc.com/knowyourvalue. we'll be right back. ♪ the way i see it, you have two choices; the easy way or the hard way. you could cho

and robert costa. >> you look at that and what's happening on the trail, what do you think about donald trump and dr. ben carson. >> the outsider wave shows no signs of receding. trump and carson continue to lead nationally. you have seen strong momentum coming out of the last debate for senator cruz and senator rubio. many in the republican establishment are looking at rubio to someone to come around the corner and be their contender. >> a.b., i'm sure we're going to hear this poll cited, qualified to handle the question, 42% say donald trump. this is 1230 voters, this is republican primary voters, this is, there is a margin of error, 4.5%. this is such a hunl lead. >> i think he's going to remind the kindly doctor, that he beats him by 33 points on handling the economy. the doctor is behind cruz. and also he beats him on 19 points on who can best beat hillary clinton in a general election. the commander-in-chief numbers are only two points apart. in polling, the general poll they're very tight. i think those numbers are going to be bragging rights for donald trump and again he's, he h

. >> robert costa reporting that party's donors are sitting on the sidelines on this, quote, many of the party's financeeers and top strategists are sit on the sidelines. many are reluctant to spend money against trump after watching others fumble to hands his counter punchers. remaining confident. where do they get that confidence? >> i'm laughing. that will tell you how confident they should be. >> i thought that was one, a campaign for a candidate would have trouble doing taking action against another candidate. >> that's right. and that's the point that he was made in robert's piece. the campaign is not going to spend their hard dollars, that means the dollars they get directly from do tors on going after donald trump. there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. the super pacs can go up on tv, they can go on to print, hit the internet in a way the campaigns don't want to because that's dollars directly out from their bottom line. if you see a response from donald trump, it will not come from the campaigns directly. >> this is what i think is donald trump's biggest lie and

robert costa who just broke this story. first of all, what's going on here exactly? donald trump's campaign behind the scenes has decided to negotiate directly with the television networks, bypassing his gop rivals and not agreeing to a letter they drafted on sunday. >> okay. so just walk back the events from the last 24 hours or so robert. yesterday evening the campaigns met, they were trying to come up with some reason why they were going to tweak the debates going forward, try to take control back from the rnc, correct? >> correct. >> after this meeting this now is happening. why? >> trump's campaign manager and other trump aids were at this meeting in alexandria on sunday, they met with a dozen other strategist other campaigns and they were trying to come to some consensus to put the power dynamic backs bank in the hands of the presidential campaigns rather than in the hands of the television networks or republican national committee. the trump campaign has soured on this possible letter that was drafted last night and decided to do it on their own terms in deali

this is mercedes schlapp, political consultant and former white house aide to george w burn, and robert costa for the "washington post" and penny lee democratic strategist and commentator. ben carson, then, made a mistake in writing he was offer add full scholarship to west point and "politico" backing off the screaming headline. was this a legitimate story? >> "politico" gets an f in reporting because they had to change the headline from fabricating at west point to a different headline. >> they said also that he applied but, in fact, ben carson never made that case, he said he never applied. so "politico" got it wrong. >> when you say "f" in reporting do you think it should never have been published? >> they should not have reported it. >> robert, ben carson is using strong language, liars, and witch hunt, and seems offended. >> for so many, they rise through the ranks and in house races and senate and governor races and the press gradually vets them but this is an uncomfortable confluence with the press and the politician and it is unfolding it is uncomfortable but coming from the right po

let's bring in robert costa, national political reporter for the "washington post."ron fournier, senior political columnist for the "national journal" and syndicated columnist, charles krauthammer. i knew before, he had the announcement to make. it was interesting to see his campaign, what about bobby jindal and how the race has run? >> ron and i had a chance to talk to him after he finished your interview. and you sense this is a youthful governor, a sitting governor. someone in office, leaving the race, i think jindal has a future. he's tried to ford some policy proposals, he's a wonk, but never caught on. >> ron? >> he's a wonk in an angry electorate year. this is one of those times when there was news breaking beneath my nose. an old wire guy, you beat me, congratulations, i did ask his wife, as to how the kids doing with all this. and she said it's funny, i just got out of the -- the governor said, did you get hold of them? she said yeah i got hold two of out of the three. if i had a brain in my head, i must have realized there musting something going on if you

joining me for our daily fix, national political reporter robert costa and "wall street journal" politicalr jean cummings. robert, first to you. as you look at these republicans and at jeb today, is this a good reset for him before he goes on a bus trip through new hampshire? >> governor bush is looking for some kind of lane moving forward and he sees he's falling behind in new hampshire and he needs to establish more support with those center right voters, those republican moderates, who are in new hampshire and want to give him a look but are already tempted by rubio. this is bush speaking to them. >> speaking of speaking to them, you have got paul simon, the hedge fund billionaire in new york who was sought desperately by both rubio and bush and signed up with rubio. >> that was a very big development behind the scenes. mr. singer is a billionaire, he's got a lot of money that he wants to invest in politics. he's done it in the past. he was a big fish who was on the sidelines and both -- well, all sorts of candidates had appealed to him for him to side with marco sent a major signal to

for more on this, bring in "the washington post" national political reporter robert costa writing about ins and outs about the debate over the debates. good to see you again. >> good to see you. >> part of the draft letter obtained, part of the text says, will you commit -- writing to organizers of debates, tv networks -- will you commit you won't ask the candidates to raise their hands, have a lightning round, allow candidate to candidate questioning, have reaction shots from members of the audience or moderators during the zmaebt when you start to read the draft letter and not final yet, robert, but there's a list of things they want. is there any danger that they overreach? >> campaigns are trying to reclaim power in this process. they are frustrated with the television networks, they're unhappy at times with the republican national committee. they think the candidates have not had an opportunity to showcase themselves. and they believe because of the high ratings, regardless of which network it airs on, that gives them leverage and so they may be overpushing in the opinion of some b

news chief washington correspondent james rosen author of the new book cheney one-on-one, and robert costa from "the washington post." brit, it's an interesting confluence of events the bulk data collection program of american phone records, as we pointed out, ran out at midnight last night, just as the state department issued a worldwide travel alert for all americans. what do you make of those two things? >> well, and there's more to it than that because this figures in the republican presidential campaign because marco rubio and ted cruz are competing for some of the same voters and one of rubio's talking points reflected by the sound bite that you showed is that cruz voted to end this program, so you have that factor added in to all of this, as well. my sense about it is that we never did have a victim that came forward, or was ever shown that there was one, of this program, and intelligence professionals such as mike hayden -- >> former director -- >> former cia director have insisted again and again that it was very useful and helpful so i think it's fair to say a great many intellig

in the washington post this morning, robert costa writes it would have negative ramifications for the gop ticket up and down the ballot virtually assuring a hillary clinton presidency and ensuring the senate falls in democratic hands. robert, i want to start with you. are they really serious about drafting mitt romney? >> well remember, earlier in the year, romney teased a possible repeat run when he said he was thinking about it again and then bowed out after a couple of weeks. romney's friends say he is not moving towards a run but they are so panicked that privately they are e-mailing each other and actually gaming out a possible campaign should romney ever need to get in or be drafted in. >> so also in your article you talk about how everyone is loathe to attack trump. might that change now? >> this is changing. you are seeing a lot of candidates start to critique trump, say he's not experienced enough. not ready on foreign policy. but because trump is such a counter attacker he relishing the attack. campaigns like bush and rubio are reluctant to get into a fire fight with trump.
