shery: reporter tim higgins joins us from washington. s about this, this new .ystem have you gotten these e-mails from clinton? : what is unique is it is personalized digital engagement, part of a broader strategy by the clinton campaign to look at all the ways her campaign is interacting with her potential supporters and make sure they are coordinated. think about the data that is coming in. she's got data from the e-mail addresses of her supporters, people going to the doors of people, maybe social media data. it's a lot of complicated information. is ithis startup is doing helps a client such as clinton's andaign sort through that pull in the data and see if they can react and respond to it. there was a lot of talk after 2008 with the legacy of the obama campaign was going to be, same thing in 2012. this is the legacy realized, right? this is run by a guy who was instrumental involved with the digital initiative on the obama campaign. tim: it was one of the whiz kids behind the magic of that campaign. he's got some backing from google'

from us yet. joining us from washington bret baier. i have to call west virginia for sanders.ou guys haven't done it yet but is he going to win. all you have to do is look at the exit polling. i mean, she is ahead on this, but that's just 2% of the sample taken from people who can't speak english. that's not true. bernie is going to win. can you take it to the bank there. so, does it mean. >> is he probably going to win. they are being cautious in the decision desk. >> caution is good but caution you are about to enter the no spin zone. that's what i have. >> your call. got . >> so trump will win nebraska. i don't know who clinton or sanders will win nebraska. >> no democrat race. >> that's why i don't know who it is then. that's the reason i don't know because they are not voting. >> that's true. >> i knew there was a reason i didn't know. does this matter tonight at all. >> here is what matters. if bernie sanders does wins a is he expected to looking at the numbers now, this is a momentum thing and this is hillary clinton losing another state largely because what she said on

. >> let's bring in richard walker following this primary for us from washington. if trump wins this, is this the end of the road for ted cruz? >> ted cruz's campaign sent out an e-mail today listing a couple of events in nebraska and washington state tomorrow, a sign they are hoping they still have a campaign after tonight but it's true indiana has had a bit of the flavor of a stand for ted cruz. we heard about him bringing in a running mate in the shape of carly fiorina. this deal he did with john kasich to not compete in indiana and today, ted cruz coming out with his strongest language yet against donald trump, effectively calling him a monster. he said he's a pathological liar, narcissist, immoral for land or -- philanderer. he will probably face a bit of a decision tonight. i think it will depend to an extent on just how badly he loses if he does indeed lose. if he's very soundly beaten, it might be harder to justify but it also comes down to what kind of reason ted cruz is in this campaign for anymore. is he simply hurt to try and stop donald trump and if th

joining us from boston colonel david hunt, from washington colonel ralph peters. colonel peters, start with you, are we being deceived? >> you're being lied to outright. in addition to all the mistakes and indecisiveness of the obama administration, there are two immediate lies that apply. first, president obama ching to t -- cling to the narrative we have boots on the ground, they're not boots on the ground and they're not in combat. you're in combat over there. this guy was killed two miles from the front but in post modern warfare, 10 myliles, 50 miles from the front is still in combat. you have suicide bombers, you have assassins. the other lie is the obama administration wildly exaggerates our progress against the islamic state. we have made a difference. we have hurt the terrorists. we've hurt their caliphate, about you as we saw this week with the surprise attack that killed a s.e.a.l., they've got a lot of spunk left in them, a lot of fight, and because of our president's eternal hesitation to do anything decisive, yes, we're making some progress, limited,

joining us from washington brit hume.hink when you read that there were two journalists and he james then one for the atlantic and one for some i have never even heard of that were doing the white house's bidding? >> well, my first thought was that jeffrey goldberg, who, you remember, did that very revealing interview with president obama that appeared just recently id which the president said all kinds of things about foreign leaders and others that raised all kinds of eyebrows is really not properly described as being in the tank for the president. he is a pretty darn good and very knowledgeable reporter. so, i think that claim by ben rhodes, if that's what it was is a little extravagant. i'm not particularly familiar with the work of the other journalist so i can't comment ton. >> no doubt that mr. goldberg is a left wing guy and writes for the atlantic which sun believablably left. so, it wasn't a surprise to me. what was a surprise is that the writer of the article didn't even ask david samuels, the "times" guy, didn

joining us from washington charles krauthammer. and you say?well, we have a pretty long and distinguished history of a partisan press. i mean, i bring you back to the first campaign you covered 1800 adams and jefferson were the jefferson press accused adam of being excredible. they called him math amath they wrote this in their papers that he was an atheist and under his presidency murder, robbery, rape, adultery and incest. i love the incest part, will be openly practiced and taught in the country. so, we have got an old tradition of this. >> there is a tradition. >> it is a tradition and it's been -- it was a hell of a lot worse. we have developed the so-called objective standards which people at least in the press they want to appear to adhere to. they don't. we know the mainstream media is liberal and biased against conservatives that is like telling the sunrises in the east. >> what did you think about the "new york times" reporter who wrote the front page article saying well, the story speaks for itself. that really got me here you have g

the managing partner of purple strategies, doug joins us from the washington bureau. pport forbout the this key demo. doug: clinton has a lead. she is leading by seven points. swing demographic. if you look at elections from 1992 through 2008, every single election the winner carried this group nationally and in the states, where we can look at the data, the winner carried that demographic as well. in this key swing demographic, clinton is up by seven points. john: let's look at a couple of key segments. white voters, female voters, independents. some realee polarization. among women, clinton is leading strong double digits. among men, trump is leading. he has a slightly among independents as well. race is a substantial issue. white voters are supporting him. clinton, she has a strong double-digit lead with minority voters. this key swing group mirroring a lot of demographic differences. the results on the top line works in clinton's favor. just ranthe data you through, if you were trump, what would make you happiest? doug: the thing that would make me happiest, i am l

she made $6.5 million last year, speaking and from book royalties, bernie sanders has asked for extension in his reporting. joining us now from washingtonthal, senior reporter at the center for public integrity and nonpartisan investigative news agency. sanders' deal is strange. he doesn't seem to have any income outside of his senate salary why does he need extension. >> by u.s. senate standards bernie sanders is dirt poor from what we know. >> yeah. >> last time in 2015 when he released one of these reports, he hardly had anything to his own name. a lot in his wife's name but very little in bernie sanders name. even had credit card debt. he said this is probably a great thing because can i relate to people who are in those financial situations. i'm not beholden to the billionaires and millionaires he likes to say. big question mark in 2016 what he has been doing the past 12 or so months with his own finances. different time for bernie. >> he won't talk to us. and that's disappointing but i think trm makes him look bad look, you know this is coming. may 15th was the date. you knew it was coming. put it out there. and it looks like is h

we'll see what kasich does this afternoon in ohio. >> rich joining us from washington, thank you. >>> so what happens now? with kasich leaving the gop stage to donald trump and bernie sanders a thorn in hillary clinton's side. i am joined by the former are spokesperson for george bush. and welcome to both of you, how things change. it was less than 18 hours ago, that the kasich campaign put this post on facebook to supporters. what is next? and it reads tonight's results, meaning the indiana results are not going to alter governor kasich's campaign plan. our strategy is winning the nomination in the open convention. kasich will remain unless the candidate roaches the 1237 bound delegates before the convention. what happened? >> the kasich campaign woke up with a political hang over. kasich and his time realizes that donald trump has the momentum in the next coming states with west virginia, new jersey and california to roach 1237. and the other thing is, you had the rnc reince priebus tweet that donald trump would be the nominee, that sends a strong signal to the kasich campaign. >> o

sahil joins us from washington. we have seen such a defiant stance on sanders. absolutely have. it is a remarkable contrast. he is telling supporters what he needs to tell them to keep them energized all the way through the primary. he is eyeing california which has hundreds of delegates. what he is telling democrats privately is not to worry. he is not going to burn it all down like others are suggesting. he is not going to go so far as to substantially hurt hillary clinton against donald trump he is going to fight to the end. shery: bernie sanders cannot win. what is his endgame? sahil: the endgame is an interesting question. as far as i can see it, it is to maximize leverage going into the democratic convention and felt up yet. he started this campaign to raise issues, to give working people a raise. he wants to do two things. influence the democratic party platform to add his priorities like single payer health care, breaking up the banks, tuition free college. he wants more open primaries. what he is doing now is trying to maximize the votes he gets through

our bloomberg politics reporter joins us from washington. predictednie sanders to do today?evin: he needs to do well because he is still significantly lagging behind in the superdelegate and delegate count against hillary clinton. but you only did to it and it is absolutely true that in the heart of coal country, hillary clinton is still battling back from a gaffe which he said against the coal industry and the sanders campaign has seized on that. earlier today, we were reporting former president bill clinton is saying he would be looking for a job in the hillary clinton white house. the sanders campaign also seizing on that, saying he would be appointing people who are not so close to wall street. reading between the lines, some jockeying still going on this late in the race. who would have thought we would have a republican candidate before we have a democrat one? david: the psychic issue here -- hillary clinton maintains this delegate lead the bernie sanders keeps winning races. it showcases some momentum and that has to be something the clinton campaign is worried about

joining us from washington for some background is our litigation analyst, matt larson. of the first point to mention is mark hurd ended up going to work for oracle where he is now co-ceo. what can we expect from this trial? hp is going to be making the case that when it was going to withdraw software support that it caused the business to crater and caused losses. nobody's going to want it because of the status of the software. there are other market indicators and indicators from chip manufacturers that this was not a profitable endeavor and that they were withdrawing support and had no legal obligation to continue support. you will see those play out over the course of the next several weeks in trial. the chipu covered years ago, what do you think? chaos i covered a lot of of which mark hurd was very involved with before he jumped to oracle. i wonder if it extends to some leverage hp had because of the experience that oracle? did they get oracle to agree some things that may be you are going to come back to bite them here? they are going to dredge up some of that bad

us. thank you, patricia. >>> it is a virtual dead heat between the frontrunners and the washington state primary. kristin fisher is live for us from washington, d.c. with the latest from the campaign trail. >> we are talking about two separate national polls coming out on the same day. both show clinton and trump. it is essentially a dead heat. the same powell gave support for something dern knee sanders has been saying over and over. shows beating trump by 15 points. polls this far out don't matter. sanders disagrees. >> they haven't looked at a lot of the national polls out there doing a lot better than she is doing. that's true for all of the state polls as well. she may not have noticed the last two contests we won and we tied in kentucky. we have an excellent chance to win the majority of the states. >> he is waging war with the national states chairwoman. he would remove her from that position. he's attacking clinton on the campaign trail and trump is taking notice. >> she suffers from bad judgment. that's bernie sanders saying it. he has been rather nice to her. he didn't pick up on the e-mails which was a big mistake. i am

katherine harris joins us from washington. hello. >> thank you, kimberly. while mrs. clinton said she handed over all her e-mails, there's three e-mails that specifically deal with the setup of the server and the management of the server and they were not among the more than 55,000 pages of e-mails that were publicly released. the omission was not a big deal, but i'm sure you understand these e-mails show why mrs. clinton set up the server, which appeared to be an effort to control the government records. one of the e-mails comes from 2011. mrs. clinton is asked if she will have a state dot-gov account because her address is getting caught in the spam filters. of course, a government account would be searchable under a the freedom of information act and that appears to be something she wanted to avoid and she says to her aide, we don't want to have a situation where my e-mails are my personal communications are accessible. now on to these depositions that are happening here in washington, d.c., the federal judge in the civil suit, the freedom of information action law

mike emmanuel joins us from washington and this is not how things would have predicted. >> both campaigns are acting like it was a split decision with bernie sanders winning oregon and hillary clinton pulling out a nail biter on kentucky. hillary clinton's twitter account declared victory. we just won kentucky. we are always stronger united. the clinton campaign released her personal p financial disclosure for 2015. she earned 1.4 in speeches and 1.5 in bock royalties and her husband bill clinton delivered two paid 20 for $5.25 million. she is trying to pressure donald trump to release tax returns. and she released her personal financial disclosure and pushing him to release his taxes. but bernie sanders is not going anywhere. last night in california, sanders celebrated his victory and the sanders campaign notes he had 21 victories and virtual ties included in kentucky. and sanders sounds like he's competing to win the big prize on june 7th. i think we have a real shot to win a primaries in a number of the states that will be coming up. and don't tell secretary clinton, she might get ner

joining us from washington, kevin, who has been covering the campaign for donald trump.aid his plan going forward? he has provoked -- propose the new strata or category of taxation? kevin: i just got off of a conference call with top clinton advisers who criticized his tax policy proposal as both reckless and risky. i think that what you are seeing is that as you alluded to, donald trump has tried to play both sides of this issue to make it harder for the democrats to attacking or pin him down on a specific policy position. but this is definitely going to be, i think, one of the cornerstones of the attack on , just anecdotally speaking. i've covered his campaign for about a year and everywhere that i go the strength to his supporters, as well as those crossover voters for his appeal is that he is able to be someone who would be able to bring about economic change. they like that he is a businessman. secretary clinton and her campaign already trying to hit back and chip away at that narrative. david: he said something on "this week" that i wanted to run by an square with

with us from washington is the national press secretary of ben carson dina bass. i want to hear your thoughts. trump's defense against a lot of bad stuff is not defensible is to say wait a minute. you put the mistake and i'm going to play for all it's worth. it was a nice punch line but it wasn't related. it's unfair to throw in attacks that i didn't have anything to do with in terms of women. >> i think he does make a valid point. that was not a comment he made about women. that was about china. is that something she should be saying about china. as it relates to women, we understand that at this point in the campaign cycle the very reason that hillary clinton or a pro-clinton super pac is trying to run this type of ad at this stage in the campaign is because hillary clinton has a woman problem. doesn't matter which group you poll whether it's young women, old women, women who made more than 60,000, women who made less. she's not viewed favorably among women. at this stage, even though she has a fight against her, even show she is still running a primary race, sh

we are back with james carville in new orleans, and joining us from washington, former white house communicationsector in the obama administration anita dunn, not affiliated with either campaign this year. if you wear advising the hillary clinton campaign, and she called and said, what is the best proper role for bernie sanders and my convention, assuming she gets the majority, what would you tell her that role should be? anita: i would tell her, let him make his primetime speech. let him talk directly to the country about differences between the two parties. mark, as you know, primaries are about fighting for the direction of the party, but general elections are about fighting for the direction of the entire nation. i think that senator sanders' primetime speech let him lay out the indictment of the republicans and the difference between the political parties and speak directly to his supporters and the people attracted to his message. mark: james, what about you? james: it will be her convention, but generally the other candidates will be allowed to speak. i'm sure that will all be negotiated g

nbc's tracie potts joins us from washington with the story. >> for donald trump he says he wants to go forward and focus on issues to try to bring the party together but it is his position on some of these issues like trade and immigration and whether to ban muslims from this country that still have key republicans doubting whether or not they can support him. >> at this point i'm just not there right now. >> paul ryan, speaker of the house, one of the powerful republicans on capitol hill telling cnn he's undecided about whether he'll back donald trump. trump's response, he's not sure he'll back ryan's agenda either. but it is people like ryan trump will have to work with to get things done. plus he'll need ted cruz supporters to win. >> he's done nothing to earn me over as the supporter. >> you have to figure how you und those edges. >> some have jumped on the trump train like john mccain. he's offered to counsel trump on foreign policy. but mccain is skipping the republican convention. trump told west virginia votest last night, he's already got it in the bag. >> forget this one t pr

joining us from washington to discuss is the director of latin america from the eurasia group. nk you for joining us. 36have had this pretty crazy or 24 hours where we saw impeachment moving forward and reverse and reverse, and it looks like it is moving forward. now it looks like it's going to happen. to you see any further monkeywrench is being thrown into this, or does look like it is on? >> i'd say we have seen a pretty crazy six months to say the least, but i think the impeachment is on track. we don't see any major surprises, although we are talking about brazil. that we think overall we do think the impeachment will happen tomorrow, and with that, the following day, they'll be able to begin to take brazil. scarlet: the government is appealing once again to the supreme court. you expect them to intervene in the process? >> it's a possibility, that the court has traditionally refrained from what they see as intervening in other branches of power. they set up the rules earlier this year, pretty clearly. now my educated guess is they'll avoid weighing in again. i think this i

she joins us from washington. hey, martha. >> hey. >> what was the view from your perch? just a few feet from the president? how was that? >> what you really look for, me, anyway, is the reaction of those that are the butt of some of those jokes. a couple of members of the trump family, his sons, laughed at the jokes, bernie sanders, hillary clinton's staff laughed. of course, obama didn't aim quite as many jokes at hillary clinton. and some of the republican establishment were taking it all in stride. it just shows you, dan and paula, on at least one night a year, everyone comes together. it was a fun night. now back to work. >> wraeing back to work. you have to hand to it the trump boys, too. they knew what they were going to face when they walked into the room. we want to talk about indiana. the crucial hoosier state. who is likely to win? what does it mean for the shape of the race? we heard devin. >> we did hear devin. >> what does it mean? >> it is such a tight race and so crucial. trump has been leading in most polls heading into tuesday. ted cruz has steadily narr

tracy potts joins us from washington.this last dinner, hosted by president obama, i mean, what's the take away been or what's the reaction been so far to what we've just seen? >> well you know, twell, you know, the whole mic drop at the end was unexpected. what we expected and what we saw that president obama went after both sides, the democrats and republicans here. it's his last one. he doesn't have a lot to lose. and as we look forward to that indiana primary happening tomorrow, you can see how contentious this still is, especially for the candidates hoping to catch up. indiana is critical for ted cruz and bernie sanders. it's one of those states that's going to determine if they have a realistic chance of catching up. donald trump is going into this with a lot of momentum, a lot of confidence and with the numbers. our polling showing him up by 15%a 15%. four stops in indiana, warning people not to, as he put it, give in to the evil and save our country with their vote. on the other side, you've got hillary clinton who

he joins us from washington, d.c. >> reporter: let me start with a question here. you ever driven down a dark road at night and have you something on your mind that is important and all of a sudden you realized you missed your turned it's a loss situational situation. that is what investigators think happened to the engineer on the night of the crash. >> that was the best conclusion we could come to as to why he was trying to accelerate. >> after excluding drugs and alcohol or trying to use a cell phone. they believe that engineer, brandon bostian lost his situation ala wearness. he was involved in radio chatter up the track reporting damage from thrown rocks, the orange line on this map. indicates amtrak route north as bostian talked to dispatchers, investigators believe that time is critical. >> with his attention diverted to the amtrak train, the engineer may have lost situation ala wearness. his train was at the blue arrow on the map but he believed he passed the junction curve and was clear to go fast along the straight away. >> don't know for sure what was ha

. >> kristin fisher is live for us from washington, d.c. >> if ted cruz has any chance to win he has to taken in. a new poll out yesterday shows trump with a 16 point lead in that state. 49 to 34 according to the waut streel journal poll. kasich in third. kasich is not putting any effort into indiana because of the alliance. this will be the first true test of the alliance even though trump calls it pathetic. look at how he made fun of them? >> i knocked out 17 people. the last two they are joking. let me choose krar lee, maybe that will turn it around. >> at the same rally trump said if we win indiana it will be over. ted cruz essentially said the same thing. activists and polls show cruz walked back from the comments as he made the rounds on the sunday shows. as he made the final pitch in indiana he didn't hold back. the fate of the entire country is in their hands. >> this is a battle for our kids. this is a battle for our future and our freedom. the men and women here are going to decide. the course of the battle not just for indiana or the republican party, but for the entire co

. >> scott mclean is covering developments on the trail and joins us from washington with more on thisrter: hillary clinton trying to make with coal country there because comments she made earlier made for pretty uncomfortable moments so far. cnn town hall in march clinton said as president she would put a lot of coal mineers and companies out of business. she later apologized but gotten a frosty perception in part of west virginia's coal country, a state she lost last week. now it's something she doesn't want to repeat in kentucky. despite the fact that clinton has a nearly insurmountable delegate lead. she took a shot at her opponent, bernie sanders repeating a claim that he disputes. she had a few jabs for trump on his economic policy but specially on the recent suggestion he would be open to allowing japan and south korea to have their own nuclear weapons to protect themselves from north korean aggression. >> along comes donald trump, he doesn't care, let them all have nuclear weapons. he says he would use nuclear weapons and this is scary dangerous talk. this is a talk of a loose

from ted cruz. and while we do, i'm told steve schmidt can hear us and talk to us from washington. steve, the question is, there was a moment there when you said a few minutes ago, it's over. it's over for donald trump, donald trump will be the nominee of the republican party. let me come at it another way. you're a pro all your life in this business. if i came to you and hired you to run the stop trump movement, to run the kasich campaign, any number of things diametrically opposed to trump, would you tell me, no, there's no upside, there's no case? >> there's no chance. the race is over. look, to become the nom in each of the republican party on the first ballot, you have to secure a 1237 delegates. we've been having a discussion for months donald trump was far away from that number, closing in on it, whether he was going to make it or not. it's clear tonight donald trump will clear the 1237 delegates required to be nominated on the first ballot to avoid the open convention scenario on the evening of june 7th when he wins big in the state of california. where he has leads as high

joining us now from washington to react, kirsten powers. and you say? >> well, i think you are right that definitely we have a problem in the media, i would say, in particular where people don't take it as seriously when a young african-american child, for example, is shot versus a young white american, particularly if they are blonde haired, blue eyed child is often is treated as a national crisis where we don't hear about what's happening in these neighborhoods. i think you are right about that i don't think it's true though that people don't care about this or that they aren't trying to solve the problem. it's not right to say rahm emanuel isn't aware or doesn't care about this problem. >> give me one thing the narrow mayor of chicago has done to solve the problem. >> he hasn't solved the problem. >> give me one thing he has tried. >> i don't know his specific. >> he hasn't done anything. kirsten, i know. i know. >> is your position actually that rahm emanuel is racist against black people and doesn't care. >> here is my position so i am quite clear.

joining us from washington dc, the former chairman of the rnc, michael steele, and 30 rock, bonnie keithi went to ask two questions. chairman steele, what happened that increased your view of the probability of donald trump getting elected president? michael: the fact that he was able to walk into washington and command the stage. i mean, i think it send a strong statement across the country on a number of fronts. mark number one, that the , establishment is willing to talk with him and meet with him and work with him. two, he sat in that meeting and he did the important thing, and that was listen. he did not come in braggadocious and sort of waving the flag. i that was good in sending a broader signal he is ready to take this thing on, go up against hillary and become , president. donny: hey michael, let's say the day before they came out, there is a difference. it was a 10 point spread. were you getting the same kind of rosie carnation like response or people backed off? goodel: that is a question. it would have been more reserved. the polling helped him. the narrative going into that

here to discuss whether his picks will be enough, nbc news pete williams joins us from washington andes his debut on this program which has us overjoyed. thank you for joining us here. >> you have a very low overjoy threshold. >> no, this is an honor for us. 11 names, which ones jump out to you as symbolic or important. >> he's already said that he consider two of the names on the list. william pryor of alabama and diane sykes. they were put on the bench by president george w. burksh. he's the brother of utah republican senator mike lee who was ted cruz' biggest senate supporter. >> it seems like they're all names of people who conservatives can look at and get the exact signal. these are strict constructionalists who can be seen in the mold of scalia in the terms of judicial philosophy. >> i suppose the trump people will be pleased by the response they are getting. the conservative groups are saying it's a good list. can we trust trump to stick with it? the liberal group is saying this is a terrible list. i suspect it's supposed to do two thing, appeal to conser conservatives who wil

kelly o'donnell joins us from washington, d.c. with the latest from the democrats ahead of the primary after a busy evening yesterday. >> it was one of the big nights of the year in washington and i happen to bump into senator bernie sanders and his wife jane and top aide at the dinner. they were guests of the cbs crew last night and it is one of those rare occasions where a candidate attends a big washington function. in part he was able to use that as a way to be kind of getting the shoutout from president obama and getting the media attention. today he can address reporters before heading back on the campaign trail. and hillary clinton was not in attendance although a number of her top aides were. we're at a moment in the campaign on the democratic side where there was a little bit of a pause. we have a big contest coming up in indiana on tuesday. but hillary clinton will do some fund raising today. and she added that indiana event because there is some sign that you've got to keep working at it and the race is close in the demo

she joins us from washington right now. r being with us and you know, we're looking at the lawmakers and are they right in saying that they cannot make this deadline because of the legislative processes and just take more time. >> well when they wanted to pass the law in the first place they called a special session because they definitely wouldn't wait only four weeks so they called a special session in less than 24 hours later the governor signed the bill. they can move as fast as they want to move. they even spent a lot of money last time moving fast but they don't want to save money to hurry up in order to save federal funding. >> is this a stalling tactic is what you're saying or might they get to the outcome. >> it's failed leadership. they got on the back of a tiger and can't figure out how to get themselves off of it. they're hurting north carolina. they're hurting their people. there's transgender people that are scared and have gone about their lives and business for years with no problems until somebody decided to
