steve kornacki is back with me. steve, break it down if r us. >> we took a really interesting poll. we teamed up. we asked people, when you think of geniuses and nongeniuses, what kinds of people are we talking about? they're more interesting. you can trust them. you can depend on them. they're savvy. they are not fun to go to a party with. they're not socialable. you can't relate to them. they're not friendly. it's the kinds of things they think about geniuses versus nongenius. so we're we said we're going to run celebrities by you. would you call this celebrity a genius or nongenius? think about these qualities now. i say celebrity. albert einstein. 93% say he's a genius. that's the highest score we get. 75% for bill gates. probably what you would expect. drops off a little bit. warren buffett only 45%. mark zuckerberg the facebook guy, 44%. down to bill nye the science guy. 37%. you think that bow tie may get him a few more points. only 37% saying he's a genius. donald trump, 29%. about one in this three people say they would consider donald trump to be a genius. hillary clinton,

this is not a one-time decision we're talking about. >> i got a statistic for you, steve kornacki.you're on this show as a guest or a host or a co-host, we like it 100% of the time. >> oh thank you. >> thank you for being here. >> nice segue. >> thank you abby. >> i was lost there. >> speaking of segues nowhere are there more bum calls being made than washington, d.c. not seattle. to chronicle that we have dana millbank our washington post chronicler of all things serious and funny. dana we're going to have a little fun in this part of the show. you can tell it'll be fun because i just said it'll be fun. >> it better be fun. >> what's more fun than that? give me a bum call from the nation's capital. >> well first, i'm not sure what percentage of the time you enjoy having me on the show. >> it's not 100. i'll tell you that big boy. >> you know what, dana? i like it 100% of the time. you're always welcome back. >> there we go. all right. so i think the pete carroll award for the last six months or so would go to president obama for saying my policies are on the ballot. not only was i

and from steve kornacki, explain away. >> we have teamed up and asking who is the greatest genius ofwe figured the best way to figure that out and since we are coming up on march, march madness and figure out your bracket, we have 16 geniuses and having people vote on who the biggest genius is. and the voting is going on for a while and we've whittled it down to a few. in sports michael jordan or serena williams. who is the bigger genius? they said michael jordan. and steve jobs and ada love lace. and jobs advanced. and then michael jordan versus steve jobs and it is overwhelming steve jobs beats michael jordan. probably his beggest loss. and another region philosophies, carl max and rand on the right. and marx. and then the beetles and then jay-z and then going with lennon and mccarty and so the two beetles have a ticket to the final four. and another region mlk and rachel carson mlk destroying the kpet ipgs. -- competition. and j.k. rawling and then losing to mlk and then marie winning over speelielberg and he beats oprah and so who the ultimate genius? voting is live now at msnbc.

this is a very significant moment for scott walker right now. >> steve kornacki thank you very much. up with steve tomorrow morning at 8:00 eastern. >>> let me bring in lee ann caldwell. great to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> talk about the sudden rise of scott walker. talk about jeb bush. he was in the front, all of a sudden these number two and maybe even dropping. >> jeb bush or any candidate can't walk in and guarantee that they're going to clinch this nomination. there's a lot of candidates there's work to be done. it's still early but scott walker's good week means that people need to pay attention to him. but he's also experiencing the roller coaster of presidential politics. he's topping polls, but he's also having some problems in his home state of wisconsin with his new budget he released. >> let's talk about that. you've been writing about his budget. what does that tell us how he aims to govern? >> one of the most controversial is that they proposed cuts to the university of wisconsin system. that's about a 13% cut. inside the state it's getting a lot of pushbac

i was just having a little conversation with our friend and colleague, steve kornacki.everything you need to know about the super bowl. boston had "cheers." seattle had spin-off. >> first of all, "frazier" was a great show. if anything it was more gentle than cheers. >> so what do you think of boston as a city though? >> i would say boston is the nicest horse and carriage you've ever seen. but it's still a horse and carriage. and seattle is a fast eco-friendly sports car. >> i'm going to ask corekornacki about that. nice shoes. >> i had a little chat with ari melber about your spin-off point and he says well basically boston is a spin-off of europe. it's old, it's musty, it's basically, he said like a really nice horse and carriage. >> well first of all, by old i think you mean historic. if you want to know where this country started, where it got its start, where all these things we learn about in school come from you go to boston. if you go to seattle, you get really pretentious coffee, a useless landmark called the space needle. oh this is going to get tourists. they

. >> joining me now is steve kornacki. >> this raises the question of how many mo brooks are there. there will be about 30 republicans that they can afford to lose and still get this passed assuming that every democrat votes against it. if mo brooks is representative of several dozen republican congressman, in a is an open question right now. if he is, there is a possibility this does not get through the house tomorrow. if it does, then there is the question of what happens on the senate. how do democrats handle this. is it d.o.a. for democrats? if they don't want a temporary extension, there is still no indication about how it gets resolved any other way than the impasse we have right now. >> and mcconnell has held his caucus together, it is a boehner problem here. we wanted to hear from mo brooks because she the type of congressman that may be the difference. i want to play some remarks that got a lot of attention. >> we're the party of homeland security and the people who say they're conservative and republicans are going to ruin the party. the speaker has to bring this to a vote

steve kornacki host of "up" steve, thanks very much. take us through this.wn lynch, running from the one. why not hand the ball to march shawn lynch? >> let me put the cards on the table. i'm a patriots fan, thrilled with the outcome, love to blame pete carroll. we looked at the numbers on this and i think pete carroll has a point we'll show you why. you talk about the running game to remind you what the setup was here. this is the receiver who runs the slant. this is butler the patriot's player that makes the game winning interception. everybody says you have marshawn lynch, one of the best running backs of all of football can't he get one yard? it seems very logical. but take a look at this. when you look at what happened during the course of the season marshawn lynch, the running back tore the seattle seahawks had five carries from the other team's one yard line all season. five times he was in that exact same situation and did what everybody is saying, they gave marshawn lynch the ball. what happened? one touchdown. other plays, two one yard losses and t

and they talk about the shock and awe strategy and steve kornacki was talking about it and flood himseem inevitable can that work in your view as a strategic matter? >> well it can work. we know that elections nowadays are money -- it is all a money game and i think that he knew this very early on which is why he announced his exploratory committee very early on. i think the challenge is joy, when you look at the cnn poll today and he represents out of the all of the republican candidates more of the same out of anyone else 64% said he represents the old rather than the new, i think that is something making his being formidable very challenging. and you have an issue and you just brought up this diagram and there have been stories on this and your advisors are the same people and you say you are your own man that doesn't work for you. the advisors are telling you the same thing as before and even though he didn't say mistakes were made but he definitely didn't blame w. today. >> well if change is one of the most powerful forces in politics and a powerful narrative. but if jeb bush ge

steve kornacki. catch steve every weekend on "up" at 8:00 a.m.icki miles, melissa angle. you tried at least six times to obtain a marriage license, were denied. seventh time was a charm this morning. >> yes, it was. >> we got a call yesterday personally from the probate judge saying we could get our license this morning and that's exactly what we did. >> well vicki, tell us about monday morning, you wake up thinking it is going to be your wedding day, you walk into the courthouse, and -- >> we walk in there at 8:00 we were there when the doors open. then we go in and say we would like to apply for marriage license, and she tapped this thing on the desk and said according to the ruling by judge rory moore it is not going to happen. felt like being hit with a sledgehammer just devastating. >> what do you expect to happen when you go back the second third, fourth fifth time i mean, it is just so frustrating, i imagine. >> all throughout the day we kept extremely close eye on the news. any time there was any further development such as governor bentl

that is "all in" for this evening, steve kornacki is in for rachel. >> thanks for joining us for this hour. rachel has the night off and there is big news on the west coast tonight in the state of oregon. something that we have been watching for and something that the oregon press has been waiting for and today it finally happened. governor john kitzhaber announced that he will resign from office. he made no public appearances at all today. his office putting out a written statement and an audio file of the governor reading that statement aloud. >>> he goes on to say he is confident that he has not broken any laws or done anything dishonest. the escalateing media frenzy has reached the point of no return. he says he will step down next wednesday morning 10:00 a.m. local time. he is 67 years old. he spent what feels like a lifetime in politics in oregon. he was on his way to becoming the second largest serving governor in the history of the united states if he had finished out his current term. that would have been 16 years in office. she a he's a democratic. he was elected for the fou

joining me now is steve kornacki and casey hunt. was the audience convinced that jeb bush is his own man? >> well alex this is an audience at the chicago council of global affairs, it was a welcoming audience for him, although he blasted through his prepared remarks. there wasn't quite time for applause lines. it is hard to tell in some ways how they reacted. he was walking this very careful line saying i'm my own man, but largely staying away from criticizing them. criticism was not included in his prepared remarks, iraq was not included in his prepared remarks, but it did come up in the q and a session. he called the surge in 2007 one of the most politically heroic moments. he said he didn't build on the policies that my brother implemented. it is hard to see the policy difference at this point between jeb bush and george w. bush. circumstances are different and changing and every candidate faces a new time and a new period, and that's what he's arguing here today. >> to casey's point that it was hard to see the measurable differe

. >> steve kornacki, most of msnbc's "up" and george pataki how does jeb bush separate himself from aery recent presidency with whatever your politics is now recognized to be the very unpopular war with iraq? >> he did not do that today. he said he's his own man and he is. he will be asked specific questions and he will outline issues that will allow him to stand on his own two feet. but what he really said today was basic republican orthodoxy. he said we made the wrong decision on cuba. almost all republicans agree on that. we have to rebuild and strengthen our military. almost all republicans and most americans agree with that. we have to stand with israel. i think these are all things that they don't separate him from his brother but he doesn't have to on these issues because these are things that republicans across the board, with the possible exception of rand paul, think are the right -- >> in the primaries, especially. >> i think in the general, too, the american people support a stronger military and standing with israel. >> i think the interesting thing is how tactical he was

i'm steve kornacki filling in for chris matthews in new york. let me start with those patriot games that rudy giuliani is now playing. tough talk started as a shot at the president's love on country and things have only spiraled from there. it began as an attack on what republicans see as a weakness for president obama, the soft talk about the root causes of terrorism, the cool and calm way he tends to talk about terrorism prompted giuliani to say this. i do not believe na the president loves america. he doesn't love you. he and he doesn't love me. he wasn't brought up the way you were brought up and i was brought up through love of this country. the point giuliani was trying to make has now been consumed by talk about giuliani himself. america's mayor has responded by launching an all-out media blitz in the face of criticism he's upped the rhetoric even higher. this was giuliani on a tear last night on fox news. >> mr. mayor, do you want to apologize for your comment? >> not at all. i want to repeat it. the reality is from all that i can see of

what he told my colleague steve kornacki over the weekend. >> i don't know she's going to run.un. i have not made a decision if i'm going to run, but if i do run, and if hillary clinton does run, trust me there will be a real clash of ideas. >> msnbc in pennsylvania over the weekend with senator sanders covering all the democratic action. good morning. >> good morning. >> with elizabeth warn, shgs, what is this new group pushing for her to into into the race against hillary? >> it's directed as much at hillary and elizabeth. this is hillary's home state. getting de blasio elected mayor of new york. this is a shot across the ballot, a warning there are segments of a democratic base not totally onboard with her candidacy and a lot are smart enough to realize warren is likely not going to run for president. seven if she did, would not be able to beat hillary clinton. this is an effort to move hillary clinton to the left to pressure her on certain issues especially wall street reform and as one democrat strategist put it to warrenize. elizabeth warrenize hillary clinton. >> if warr

want to bring in some of what my colleague, lawrence o'donnell, said this morning on "up with steve kornackimbers. and we're talking about religion. the reason people were killed by the ku klux klan was the color of their skin, not their religions. the ku klux klan hated jews and hated catholics and did not lynch jews and catholics. they lynched black people. they assassinated only black people. >> so does that at all change the context for you, jimmy? >> no, it doesn't. i respect our colleague, lawrence. but if you read the piece in "the atlantic" from yesterday, it puts things very much into perspective. they burned crosses. they didn't just burn like other kinds of religious symbols. they burned actual crosses in the 1950s and '60s and '40s. that's the problem there. again, i grew up in the south. and i'm a son of the south. i know what that's about. and the theory -- listen did we have -- churches everyone was christian for the most part, right? but african-americans didn't sit in the pews with white people in church. think about this for a second. >> thank you for the history lesson but

i just want to play -- we had my colleague, steve kornacki, had someone on and i want to connect theseething that we have seen before sadly in minnesota where we have seen al shabab target usually young men in our community. this is what this group does. that's why we have been focusing not just on going after the evil of isis overseas but also the homegrown terrorism. the fact that they are targeting young men in our own communities, not just in minnesota, all over the country. >> so here's what's hard for me. on the one hand okay our young people are being targeted by these outside terrorists. on the other hand, the story out of north carolina is young muslims being targeted by someone for a hate crime. i guess i don't know how to reconcile these so that we're making good policy both foreign policy and domestic policy. >> well the possibility and likelihood that young people in the u.s. are being targeted and recruited by isis and other fanatical groups is of great concern and we need to do a lot to protect our young people against that. we're far away from the centers and headquarte

joining me expert on this steve carkornacki kornacki.and a weefk pandering, you asked a direct question kbhap do you think of requiring vaccinations for things like measles. he seemed to give two options. i didn't get it. >> in some way hess was trying to have it both ways. i point out this is something christie dealt with as governor a long time. new jersey had over the years strict rules an mandatory vaccinations. for a long time a community of parents concerned. christie dealt with them a lot running for governor. what he did, gave stock answer. to say on the one hand good for mike mei kids buty kids but the government shouldn't mandate. >> then no options? >> even when you're the governor of a very large state who stood on this national stage, to go from in stage to being on a presidential one. he set himself ups as. >> one thing to govern new jersey and understand a state that has a pretty clear east coast mentality and is for vaccinations generally with some exceptions to go out into a crazy question where it's an ideological issue
