the washington post is your source today for jeb bush turbulence news.here is already factions drama. and also "donor fetching," as we say in utah. is this a curve awful or a crisis? john: there is no doubt that the reporting makes it seem closer to a crisis than i thought it was, but i still think this is more turbulence span crisis. jeb bush seems to be taking control of it enough. the biggest problems he faces are not staffed problems, but jeb bush problems. things that the candidate needs to resolve for himself, that staff has almost nothing to do with. mark: i will take three straws in the window and say why it is more than minor turbulence for jeb. one is his own performance. he's out on this trip. we saw his performance earlier in the week. if you go into an international trip, and you don't fill the vacuum of news, you will get scrutiny. that is what he got on his gubernatorial record today. two -- the washington post story about jeb going negative does not send a good signal for his brand. the last thing is, i cannot get any work done, because b

in "the washington post" poll the top candidates are within 3 percentage points of one another and withll the money they can get from super pacs this is going to be a long race folks. strap in. >>> all right. meanwhile, that pair of new polls, well, it shows hillary clinton has some intangibles headed in the wrong direction. this is a fascinating story. her favorability falling to its lowest level, i'm going to repeat that since 2008 and the abc news/"washington post" poll the lowest since 2003 and the cnn/orc poll. over the last year people's opinion of her honesty has seen more than a 20-point swing in the wrong direction. and over the same time period her numbers have declined when people are asked whether she cares about voters like you, it's an extremely important question if you want to be president. still, clinton sits comfortably atop both polls, leading the next closest candidate by more than 40 points on the democratic side. in both polls she's down and other candidates even bernie sanders appear to be climbing probably not enough to take her out, but those numbers are worriso

helping to put this week's attack into perspective is "washington post" reporter christopher ingrahamining me from baltimore. according to the f.b.i. violent crime numbers have steadily been declining over the last two decades but what about hate crimes? >> hate crimes are basically flat, and that's kind of an interesting-- it's an interesting slice of data. basically, there are numbers from both the f.b.i. and the bureau of justice statistics. the bureau of justice statistics shows there are about 300,000 hate crimes each year. and that's been pretty steady going all the way back to 2004. and one of the really interesting things is that this number has held steady, even as the number of active hate groups in the united states has decreased according to the southern poverty law center. and one thing that a lot of people thinks is happening is. toints to lone wolf actors, like potentially the situation in charleston. and that's a concerning development for law enforcement officials. >>officials. >> sreenivasan: so are the targets still the same people whether they're from hate groups o

"washington post" opinion writer my friend jauntonathan capehart is here. he's a valued msnbc contributor. your perspective, i value it a lot. what do you think of what we saw and heard from down there today? >> when it comes to the victims' families, i haven't seen anything like it in all my years of reporting, in all our years of watching you know horrible event after horrible event. and so that just as an event was extraordinary. but also the overwhelming -- that deep well of forgiveness from those victims' families was something that whether you were christian or not, had to have hit you in the heart. people who suffered a tragic losses 48 hours ago looking at the person who killed their loved ones and resting on their faith and saying to him before the world we forgive you. you've done this to us but we forgive you, is an extraordinary thing for all of us to see. i'm glad we were able to see it. >> you know i want you to do a little diagnosis here. the anger people feel towards authority when it's abused when a police officer is seen using his gun and

they are attacking "washington post" reports and attacking "wall street journal" reports, and there are a lot of questions out there that she can't answer right now, that she doesn't want to answer right now, and so from the "washington post," her numbers for women under 50 dropping from 72% to 48%. >> yeah. >> pretty staggering, and -- and both of these campaigns are too safe. they need to -- to start getting aggressive and punching back or else they are going to see those numbers fall, and they will see the same problems that set in with mitt romney setting in with them. >> let's take a look at those numbers. jeb has been knocked off the top spot. having the bush name is not necessarily a plus right now. 56% say that jeb bush, the name that he, a makes it less lick likely for jeb to get their vote. go back to stephanie on this. the name bush, is it bushed? is it gone? think it is. >> yeah. >> i -- i look at these numbers, and watch him falling back into the pack. everybody knows who jeb bush, is but he -- i think joe's right. he hasn't been out there -- i can't think of a strong perfo

joining us now is marty barons executive editor of "the washington post." what happened when you tried to have reporters in a position to cover the trial and what does that tell you about the process? >> jason was our only correspondent in tehran and now he's been imprisoned for ten months. we asked for a visa to have a senior editor to attend mainly to serve as a witness to see whether he was being treated fairly. we never got a response from the iranian government to that request, and we're not allowed to observe the trial. >> this all must be so frustrating for you and your colleagues at "the post," to say the least. have you worried at all by being openly critical of the way this is being conducted by the iranian government you might be plotting the regime to be harsher towards jason? >> i don't think. this is a harsh regime. however you judge it. and we have to speak the truth. we have to speak with more clarity about his situation, and it's been an outrage from the beginning. here's a guy who was picked up and put in the worst prison in iran and held
