We just passed the 28th anniversary of your win at the masters. We it. Tit did. It gets lost. Nicholas wins in 86. And if i didnt like him so much, id be great guy. Id be bummed out. Because everybody always remembers 86. You remember 87, right . Im in the sand and i got to get down, right . Nobody thinks i can. I open up the club handle so much. Theyre whispering. This will never work. And it goes straight up in the air. I had no idea. Saves par. Jerry drunk as a skunk like in the bar because he doesnt think i can go it. Jark ketcket still fits. You know what it is human growth hormones. Go right up the street theres a doctor. Really. Is that what it is . Still looks great. Doesnt really fit. And im happy it doesnt have food on it. Im not going to complain. Im not going to lie. Every time i go down to amen corner, i tear up. How i got this job. Yeah. All right. Can i get to the news you idiots . Seriously. In a second mika. In a second. You idiots. You idiots. Thats right. In a second. So willie let me ask you about this. I dont know if its needed or not. I just dont know if we really need it or not. There may be some people out there who think we did. The fda finally approved female viagra viagra. Is this a Good Development for america or this something that we should be concerned about . If men can have it, why not the women. Good its a Good Development. Is it . Okay. A devilish laugh. Exactly. Evens the Playing Field. You guys get insurance for that blue pill. Its ridiculous. No you dont. Yes, you do. Its considered like a health issue. Is it really . You you mean insurance pays for that stuff . Yes. But not for some really actually legitimate female health needs. You know the issue. Youve heard it before. Some republican candidates are great on this issue. Lets talk to them about it. I dont know if he ever talked about female viagra. Youre apparently happy about it. So good for you. Now heres mika. Shes getting revved up and shell give you the news. Excuse me, im what . Youre revved up about the female viagra stuff. Willie is she excited . I think its a Good Development for america. A Gr Development for america. Shocking and disturbing, one. Largest data breaches ever for the u. S. Government. Heres what we know right now. Up to 4 million current and former federal employees are being told their personal information may be may have been stolen. At this hour the fbi says its investigating how and why the breach occurred but Officials Say all signs point to hackers from china. Politico reports its not yet clear whether state sponsored hackers are responsible orss acted on their own. The breach involved the office of Personnel Management which conducts background checks for security clearances, Cyber Security experts fear the hackers could block mail or impersonate Government Employees who have access to classified material. The i dont compromised data could include names, addresses, credit card data banking records, Social Security numbers also a possibility. Lindsey graham says the breach quote, may turn out to be yet another example of america being walked over by rivals and adversaries. Obama administrations failures in Foreign Policy and National Security continue to pile up yet they do nothing to change course. I feel a cyber pearl harbor is increasingly more likely if we do not invest in the necessary infrastructure to protect our nation. Lets get perspective on this, we bringer director with the Heritage Foundation bouchi. What was your first concern . Gosh is my name in that list. Which it may very well be. But the main thing is that you got 4 Million People who at least 2 million of them who are active federal employees have access potentially to classified systems. And now somebody has all their personal information. Thats a problem. So steve, what would be the objective of a hack like this . Is this National Security question, is this for commercial interests . What do you suspect . Could go either way but i have to tell you, a breach this big even if its straight up criminals just looking to do identity theft, thats still a National Security issue particularly when you look at who the people are whose info they have stolen. How do we stop it . And how do you put this back in . You cant, right . Whats at risk now . You cant put it back in. This is not just a credit card that, okay, throw that one away get a new one. Its Social Security numbers. Great amounts of data. Opm has said its not the whole security clear answer form which has data back to your Grammar School when you fill it out. But im not sure they know yet everything that was stolen. Its very hard to determine that in these situations. So there is a little more investigation that needs to go on before we even determine the full extent of the damage. All right. Steve, thank you so much. We appreciate you being with us this morning. Big news, rick perry is back in the race. You know what im going to say this about rick perry. Please do. Im serious. I think this is the measure of a great politician and also i think sometimes a good man or woman. Some would say i was not extraordinarily nice to rick perry in 2012. I reported. I pounded. He had a very terrible race and i would say a lot of things people would say of a air. He had a very tough race. He had back problems. Ive had back problems. You get on medication, boy, i was doing crazy things on medication. Was that the medication . Could have been the medication. And yet the first time i saw him after that race like nothing had happened. And very kind. Very i grew to really like the guy an awful lot. And its like bill clinton told me one time when youre governor, or president , you cant have a memory. Uyou he didnt say a short memory. He said you cant have a memory. President s that have memories that carry grudges, theyre not as effective as those that can do what bill clinton did during the thints90peach him one day, hes golfing with you the next because he needed to pass legislation. Trent lott had it too. A number of the president ial candidates have proved to have this talent unlike Hillary Clinton so far. I think that they are out there taking jabs from people taking questions, getting torn at at town Hall Meetings. And they seem unafraid and ready to go. And its something im looking for on the democratic side especially with the frontrunner. I think it will make her better. But not having a memory to an september where you kind of let yourself good pose yourself to reporters and people and like them no matter what they have said, whether they disagreed with you or not, you have to be able do that. You can get upset, but you have to put it behind you. If somebody is attacking you about politics, even if people slander me on the internet its just politics. You put it behind you. You move forward. This is the one thing ive seen on your side that i think theyre showing. Stay away from my family im fine. Everything else is fine. We have huge bless you. Bless you. My gosh. Thats quite a sneeze Donny Deutsch. Is that donny . You talk about me while im not on the air. Female viagra thats my nickname. Oh, my gosh. Can you believe that . I did a list of best guests well talk about that. And the worst guests. Worst ever bar nunn. Well, you didnt really hesitate when asked. No. Just bleh. One of those things. It was right after donny came onset and for some reason talked about having a dream with katty kay in the same bed. All right. Lets go to oh, my gosh. Lets go to rick perry. Im not comfortable. Hes going away. Dont worry. Hes out of your zone. So rick perry is in again. Im glad he is. Hes talked about his humble upbringing in making his bid. There is no person on earth more optimistic than a dry land cotton farmer. We always know that a good rain is just around the corner. To those americans who those i might add forgotten americans drowning in personal debt working harder for wages that dont keep up with the rising cost of living i came here today to say i hear you. To the one in five children in families who are on food stamps to the one in seven americans living in poverty, to the one in ten workers who are unemployed underemployed, or just given up hope of finding a job, i hear you. You are not forgotten. The American People they see this game where the insiders get rich, middle class pays the tab. There is something wrong when the dow is near record highs and businesses on main street cant even get a loan. Since when did capitalism involve elimination of risk for the biggest banks while regulations strangle our Community Banks . Amen. Its elizabeth. Its elizabeth. Elizabeth warren is not the only person that has said this. Sounds like elizabeth. Just saying. You thoughe know what Elizabeth Warren says she likes chocolate cake and now everybody likes chocolate cake. I like people who want to address income inequality. I dont know if he means it, but, boy ive been talking about it for a long time. Alan greenspan said four years ago that income inequality was the greatest threat to American Capitalism. Who has done anything about it . Who do you think in the Republican Party can do anything about it . Are we going to have to listen to you every time somebody says something about income inequality its Elizabeth Warren its not all Elizabeth Warren. No its not, but it does sound like her. Doesnt he . Why is he doing it . Because the rich are getting poorer poorer are getting poorer. Middle class is getting squeezed. And theyre finally getting it that this bothers people. What shes been saying for years and years. Its selling now. Republicans have been saying it. How many times have you heard me say ive heard you say it. Rich are getting richer. Poor are getting poorer. But youre not running for president. Im not the only republican that has been saying that. It is so obvious that as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer income inequality spreads apart, that it is a fundamental risk to this country. Were not going to do this next sound bite because i just want to talk about the republicans talking about income inequality. One point on perry. You talked about him having to have short memory or no memg other. Memory. Hell have to count on the voters doing the same thing. The impression in 2012 was not a good one. And the other challenge, he talked a lot about the texas miracle with jobs and the economy. And over the last few year, they have lost a lot of jobs in texas, as well. So an uphill climb but he will try to rebrand himself. You said that republicans talk about income inequality and youre absolutely right. Here is president ial candidate mike huckabee. Youll hear a lot over the next couple of years from the liberals. They will tell you that the greatest challenge facing American Workers and American Families is income inequality. Folks, sometimes i think the greatest challenge we face economically is intelligence inequality. Ing on. What do you think of that, me came mika . Mike likes you. Just saying. What . No, i got nothing to say. With all of these candidates in here anything can happen. Lets say rick loose ahas a good iowa. Nothing is possible. Mike huckabee same thing could happen. Carly fiorina. I mean this is the craziest most wide open list. And we got jeb who is talking about announcing now. I guess amy walters had written something for the politico yesterday that what was that headline shall. Looks more like an underdog than a frontrunner. I dont know that thats the case. I still think jeb is the American Pharoah. There is your quote for the day. Jeb is the American Pharoah in this field. I wouldnt bet American Pharoah against the field and i might not bet jeb against the field, but hes still 3 1 favorite. To me a lot of people on one side make jokes about there are 20 republicans in the race. I think that kind of debate is great. Its going to make it difficult for the candidates to break through, but id much rather have all these different points of view and arguments than one person on a stage arguing with two other people. Did you see what General Electric did yesterday . So connecticut goes ahead, passes another massive tax increase. And General Electric sent out a letter to its employees saying were going to have to start looking for another state to move to. Just devastating to a state that has been last in job creation since 2008. And last in job creation since 2008. And now adding another massive tax. Just crippling. And its a story not just for connecticut voters to Pay Attention to. Its a story for American Voters to Pay Attention to as we talk about which direction this country goes in the future because we are competing now not just against the eu and not just against chi naks but thechina, but the entire world. What were learning in connecticut we need to learn across the country. Well talk about that men wewhen we come back pup. Coming up former governor rick perry will be here in the studio. Plus Hillary Clinton goes there. Calling out four potential republican rivals by name for, quote, a crusade against Voting Rights. Well dig in to what she said later with Eugene Robinson and amy holmes. But first bill karins. Weekend finally shaping up nice but we did have tornados, large hail colorado was the focus. And overnight flooding in kansas. These are the pictures that came uts off the colorado area yesterday. They had some hailstones that were close to baseball size. In and around denver. You can see the damage that was done there from the high winds. Cars flipped, top of that house just taken off. So there was some damage. Thankfully we didnt have any injuries. Look at the size of that tornado. And thats where you want it in the open fields. Looks like some telephone repair work needs to be done, but thats about it. Take a look at the forecast. Kansas city, rain for you. Flooding is the problem this morning. As we look towards today, not too much bad weather. A little warmer in d. C. Today, 77. Hot from texas to oklahoma. But at least youre still dry. If were going to have really bad weather this weekend, likely on saturday. Watch out nebraska and iowa. Potential some Severe Weather maybe even a tornado or two. Notice how warm we get around the country. Were starting to really look like sumner a lot of spots. Of course one of the bigger events on saturday will take place here in new york the Belmont Stakes. 74 degrees. Post time at 6 50 p. M. Coverage there on nbc. And the other thing were watching is the chance of severe storm there is also on saturday. So as far as the forecast goes 3 Million People at risk for those severe storms on saturday. And that includes omaha. We end your weekend forecast with warm weather. Look at st. Louis 93 degrees. So it looks like shall great weather as we head towards the weekend and a few spots that will have some problems. Leaving you a shot of new york city. Looks like were finally getting rid of some of the cool weather. You are looking at two airplane fuel gauges. Can you spot the difference . No . You cant see that . Alright, lets take a look.

Bbc, fifa confirmed thursday that it paid ireland Soccer Association more than 7 million in 2009 not to protest or pursue legal action over an infamous missed call by a referee in a world cup qualifying game. The illegal hand ball set up a winning goal that prevented the Irish National team from playing in the 2010 world cup. Henri later admitted but fifa never took action to rectify the mistake. There was a contentious meeting in the direct after math and four days later, a deal for the secret payment was signed. Unbelievable. Wonder where that 7 million went and the fans just finding out now. Youll hear one story after another after another. Youre going to hear a lot of stories about games that were actually mixed i think. This will be terrible top on bottom. A former fbi agent has been indicted for alledgedly stealing over 100,000 this seized drug money. And spending it on plas tigtic surgery, cars and weekend in vegas. You just described Donny Deutschs memorial day weekend. The indictment claims scott bowman also used some of the money seized while executing search warrants to pay for Plastic Surgery for his wife. Well, do thatnnys case his 28yearold girl friend. He was an agent 2005 until this year. Walter thomas can officially check drive a car through a garage door on purpose off his bucket list.

Thats living. To each his own, but what is that about . Thats great. Come on, man. Awesome. Just fun. Every morning he pulls out, he has to wait for the door to open. The door is gone. I love that. I dont get that. Hes the johnny knoxville. Mark, lighten up. You never like blew stuff up in the backyard . That, i get. Vegas, Plastic Surgery for the weekend . You really do bring the show to a screeching halt. First of all, weve been talking about oregon the whistleblower in oregon ordered him to destroy the email he refused to do it. He released them to the press. They were talking about prosecuting him. We talked about it on the show i think a couple days ago. They have dropped all charges. So herehere. Good. We didnt have quite the impact wanted to have in connecticut. The Legislature Passed this massive new tax law. They were talking about it and the debate went late into the night. But you know, General Electric had actually said it would make the company rethink its historic home base of connecticut if they passed yet another massive tax increase after promising not to pass another massive tax increase. And now general lk is doing just that. In an email to its employees yesterday, Ceo Jeff Immelt wrote that hes assembled an Exploratory Team to check out the companys options to move to a state with a more pro Business Environment. And unfortunately for connecticut, there are about 49 states that have a more pro Business Environment than the nutmeg state. Email said potential impact on employees would be one of the considerations. And this is just bad business. I mean these new taxes on businesses, first of all they came after a massive new tax increase was passed a couple years ago which is why governor dan malloy made this pledge just a couple months ago. I dont believe there will be a budget deficit and i pledge that there wont be one and ive also pledged that there will not be a tax increase. Thats not a promise i made four years ago. And then the governor practicemade this promise a month later. Let me be clear there will not be a deficit nor a tax mc. I never took a pledge not to raise taxes the last time. This is insane. And donny, listen to these numbers. A few points on my home state of connecticut. Its one of only four states that lost population last year. It was the last in job creation last year. Its been dead last in job creation since 2008. And time and time again, its been selected as one of the least business friendly states. With the worst business tax policies. Steve rattner came on yesterday and he talked about the impact that that had. He talked about the most and the least tax friendly states. And its remarkable its not just reenlggion al. New hampshire doesnt have an income tax and its made all the difference in the world. And donny, youve set up and sold businesses worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And this is just basic math. Its not about being a republican or democrat liberal or conservative. Its about being smart or being backward looking. And youll remember there was a day when connecticut was a state businesses rushed to. It was a tax haven. People said im going to set up my business in connecticut so i dont have to deal with new york or new jerseys taxes. Its now become just as bad. As you said its a common sense issue. General electric, you talk about look up in the dictionary u. S. Corporation, and you come up with General Electric. It gets to the point with jeff immelt who is one of the best ceos popular, also. And by the way, he loves connecticut. He loves this state. So this is not some dot com company. This is not a guy that is going im going to incorporate in dublin ireland. This guy lays within theplays within the lines. Jeff raised his family in connecticut. There is no state in the country hed rather be in. I dont care whether youre a democrat or republican. You cannot fundamentally air rit arithmetically have a situation where youre forcing businesses to leave. This governor wont get reelected. You cannot run on that. And there have been so many businesses that have been fleeing the state since Lowell Weicker in 1991 started it with an income tax. And a state that has extraordinary advantages and rye sources this terms of the people and the location. And the history. And just being squandered because they have not been able to put policies in place in a actually enurge people to come into the state. It has some of the best colleges and some of the most educated people in the world. And yet, willie i know youve matt the drive up new england like i have, like mika mika knows connecticut better than anybody here. But one shuttered factory after another after another. Its been a devastating 20 years. And instead of turning things around like Carol Campbell did in South Carolina in the 1980s, we get this. More taxes. Somethings got to give here. Jeff immelt says Corporate Taxes have been raised five times since 2011 and he says they cant bear that anymore. 5700 employees for ge inside the state of connect consult. You connecticut. You wonder what happens to those people. I would call this a bluff except the tax has already passed. These are the beating heart of the economy in the state of connecticut. Mika theyre going to have to go to ge and aetna and travelers and all these companies and say, listen were going to hold a special session. A lot of companies that have held connecticut together for decades. They have to call a special session and come back on these taxes that will cost thousands and thousands of jobs to the state. Coming up, well talk about this are more, but well go live to bell month park where American Pharoah will look to make history tomorrow as the first triple crown winner in 37 years. But first, Eugene Robinson and amy holmes join the conversation. Keep it right here. We all enter this world with a shout and we see no reason to stop.

And a new century of American Energy security. The new Energy Superpower . Its red, white and blue. Log on to learn more. 37 past the hour. Joining us amy holmes and Eugene Robinson. Good to have you both on board this morning. After months of being the focus of republican candidates Hillary Clinton is now on the offense. In a speech at Texas Southern university yesterday clinton called out her rivals on the issue of Voting Rights. Here in texas, former governor rick perry signed a law that a federal court said was actually written with the purpose of discriminating against minority voters. He applaud the when the Voting Rights act was gutted and said lost protections were outdated and unnecessary. But governor perry is hardly alone in his crew side against Voting Rights. In wisconsin, Governor Scott walker cut back early voting an signed legislation that would make it harder for College Students to vote. In new jersey, governor Chris Christie vetoed legislation to extend early voting. And in florida when jeb bush was governor, state authorities conducted a deeply flawed purge of voters before the president ial election in 2000. Today republicans are systemically trying to stop millions of american citizens from voting. What part of democracy are they afraid of . I believe every citizen has the right to vote and i believe we should do everything we can to make it easier for every citizen to vote. Mark halperin whats the strategy here . One of the best days of her president ial campaign so far. Its an issue she believes in, inspires democrats and the media is almost entirely sympathetic to her point of view and going after the republicans by name on an issue where shes very well breached inspires a lot of supporters to say shes fighting. They want to see her fighting rather than in a defensive position. Amy, a republican systemically trying to stop black people from voting . Well, in point of fact voting in 2012 was actually higher than it was among white voters. I dont understand. I heard for years leading up to the 08 and 12 election that republicans were trying to systemically stop black people from voting. I dont doubt that you heard that. But in 2012 ended up at least statistically not being the case in terms of voter turnout. There have actually been problems when it comes to latino voters, however. La he tee know voters being kicked off the rolls in florida. So there is a real issue here. And of course parties are trying to advantage their own party. But when it comes to the black vote republicans dont really have that much incentive since african American Voters vote 90 for democrats. Gene i know youre excited as was i that voting among blacks inblack s in 2008 and 2012 skyrocketed. This was very good for america. It was great. But the reason you heard republicans were trying to suppress that vote it was year. They tried, they just doesnt suck didnt succeed this doing it. If you add up the republicanled efforts across the country to restrict the franchise, you know, it didnt work. Thats a good thing. One hopes in the long run it wont work with latino. But we know the demographic split between the two parties. And republican officials acknowledged that this would help them win pennsylvania, for example. Which it didnt. I was asked the question yesterday as to whether or not this was a good issue for her to pick given there are so many others i want to hear her talk about. Having said that i think this is really smart. I think it taps into something that has been brewing for years and is a debate that takes on her rivals. Amy, would you argue this is not an issue . I would argue that it is very smart to hillary particularly in a democratic primary. But do you think its an issue, the topic . Getting people out to vote is an issue, and unfairness in terms of voting rules and who can vote, of course. Thats why its illegal to discrimination. But the question i would ask, win you hear people for four years jump up and down and scream and trumpet this because we all know what its really about, its to scare people into going out and voting. And its worked. Its too hard to vote in this country. Its too har tod to vote in this country . Explain. You work when the polls are open in some states its hard to vote. There is no early voting or absentee voting. Its not a holiday. And Voter Participation rates are too low. And, joe, minority voters spent an additional 30 minutes to line up to vote than white voters in the last election. Now, they endured that longer wait but thats because there arent enough voting places there arent enough machines. And those deficiencies tend to be concentrated in minority communities. And i think everybody would oppose long lines at the voting booth for people to be able to vote. We all want to be available. But when you just point to low voter turnout, for example, if you look at it globally places where you have really high voter turnout are the places where the election of the president can radically change the political direction of the country. One political theory about why we have lower voter turnout is about a people dont really think it will change their life that much. So i got i think i was on the phone with you when this came across. I just noticed something here. There was a news bulletin that came across my phone, i think it was from the Washington Post or wall street journal, that the epa said that fracking does not in fact impact Drinking Water quality right . Now, im just looking across here and i see, what is this new york post. Its on page five. Four. Help me out here. Do we see this . Because New York Times has written so many articles with fracking. You had think that the epa coming out and saying maybe its in the business session. Hold on. Its not the on page one. Because if they had said that fracking did impact Drinking Water, it would be like all over the so its not on page one. Viagra for women. So they have viagra for women on page two, but not this fracking story which they have talked about for years. Good thing this is a three hour show. It will take you a while to find it.

Well, there are documented cases of contamination, the problem is small compared to the number of high drawlicly frac lyly fractured wells.

We always know that a good rain is just around the corner. Welcome back to morning joe. Mark halperin, Donny Deutsch and Eugene Robinson all still with us. We have a lot to get to. Rick perry is in. Hes coming in here. Anybody going to the belmont this weekend . Are you ready . Never been. I think this is the year. I think he will do it. People in the horse racing industry tell me he has the best. I went maybe ten years ago, thip nine years ago. A lot of fun. Scarborough loves the ponies. Yes, he does. All right. Yesterday rick perry said hes ready to try again talking about his humble upbringing and income inequality. To those americans who i might add for gotten americans drowning in personal debt working harder for wages that dont keep up with the rising cost of living i came here today to say i hear you. To the one in five children in families who are on food stamps, to the one this accept americans living in poverty, to the one in ten workers unemployed underemployed or given up hope, i hear you. The American People see this game where the insiders get rich, middle class pays the tab. There is something wrong when the dow is near record highs and businesses on main street complaint even get a loan. Since when did capitalism involve elimination of risk for the biggest banks while regulations strangle our Community Banks. I think thats a strong message, Donny Deutsch. Yeah. What is interesting, its a very interesting way to spin a populist republican message in effect. When he first came on the scene four years ago, he was appealing. He had the right look and that famous flub in the debate and i think that will continue to hurt him. Can voters change their mind . New coke doesnt work you go back. I think the important thing is he has to also maukke fun of that moment. Which he does. He does it in real time. We played a sound bite yesterday where he came out immediately afterwards in the spin room and made fun of himself for for getting that. So thats one thing hes very good at. And i dont think he should be held completely accountable and judged based on one moment. You got 20 candidates in this by the end. Does rick perry have a shot . I think perry, huckabee and cruz are the two most underrated. I think he is you take away what happened four years ago, not a small thing. And he is a formidable candidate for this party. Just is. As far as pure campaigners go, you mentioned a couple guys. Huckabee and rick perry who are probably as good a campaigner as anybody. And the other thing is hes working harder or as hard as anybody in the field. And hes also a guy who has run before. And in this party, people who run previously usually do pretty well. Big question is fundraising. They say they will have enough money to do this but hell have to raise and hes competing in texas for money where his base but there is a lot of oil money. Clear channel was always his big backer. Hes competing with ted cruz. Jeb bush is raising money there. Jeb is going to announce. I think the biggest question in the whole thing is can he spend 100 million plus to get people to know him. Its crazy how Little People know about him and his record. But so far hes not burning that in. And hell have to generate enthusiasm. I think the fact that we were just talking about this off camera, the fact that hes laying in the weeds and everybody saying he doesnt have traction, i think hes timing it. If he comes out with a bag of heat gives a great introduction speech next monday you will see a big pop. I still believe hell be our next president. Speeches are not his strong suit. Thats the problem. Lets get to another candidate. Foreign policy seems to be a stumbling block for florida senator marco rubio again. Conflicting statements on the decision on go to war in iraq was a headache for the president ial candidate last month. And yesterday rubio seemed to attempt to suggest we need more u. S. Support for iraq without using a particular term. The most immediate responsibility we have is to help them build a functional government that can meet the needs in short and long term and then from that, you would hone that sounds like nation building. Its not nation building. Were assisting them in building their nation. I dont want to say its his lack of experience. I put obama and him at the same time visually how they come across. To me obama with the same lack of experience presented more graph takes. I see more boy every time he comes on. Visually. Its not the resume. Its just somehow he does not he seems so young. I tell you what i you saw him speak actually last night at an event. And the crowd was very excited. And the contrast between Hillary Clinton and marco rubio is so jolting that i think that his youth could actually end up being a big benefit for him. He obviously has, Mark Halperin has to get past some hurdles, but if you ask hillarys team who theyre the most concerned about, it would be the two guys from florida. And if marco finds his footing, and starts playing errorfree ball, i would think that would be a political nightmare for the clinton camp. I take donnys point about the visual for some people. But part of jeb bushs problem to go back to jeb bush is rubio is now filling the void for a lot of establishment people who just dont think another bush is the right face for the party. Theyre impressed with marco rubio. And money people political people, even some people supporting Jeb Bush Look at marco rubio right now and say this guy might be a better bet for us. So i stepped in it when i used the term yourobinson to donnys point, is there something to be said about lack of experience . How do i say it . Well, i think donny makes a good point about how rubio comes across now. One challenge for him will be to grow into a bit more gravitas and start coming off as young. However hes a really smart guy. I dont see how he gets himself tangled up this lets help build a nation but dont call it nation building kind of cross talk. He seems to have a tendency to get himself in those uncomfortable positions. And i dont think he can afford to keep doing that. I think people will start to lose confidence. But right now you know, youve got to say he has to like where he is given where he started. Absolutely. Im surprised. So im watching him give this speech last night. And one of the things weve all heard about his father and weve heard that for years. And so the crowd heard it and they were respectful, but weve heard the story. One of the biggest applause lines actually came when he said i dont have a trust fund. My parents werent wealthy. He said my dad my mom and dad had so little money that i had to pay my own way through college. And one of the biggest applause lines was and i just finished paying off my college loan, 100,000 in college loans. And everybody started applauding. And he said, yeah thats how i felt. But i sat the there listening to it and thinking what a great contrast from a democrat who is worth 200 million. Or going to be worth 200 million fairly soon. And this crowd immediately could relate to him because, you know he had trouble paying off his mortgage. He still says my mortgage takes up a huge chunk of my salary. He understands the american struggle right now. And that is relatable in a group of people who cant relate to a lot of people. If Republican Voters and some independent voterses decide that they want to look forward and not back, which a lot of the polls indicate they do, marco rubio would be the obvious choice. Maybe its unfair to say that jeb bush is a look backward based only on his name but a lot of people do feel that way that they dont want to return to the bush years. Marco rubio couldnativealternative. Weve talked to smart people we all respect, nonpartisan people who i think have surprised us sometimes and say we sat down with this guy, he has command of all the issues we understands Foreign Policy. So he may appear young and inexperienced, but the guy knows what hes talking about. David ignatius said as much. He can immediately humanize and make you a man of the people. Lets people know that you have the same struggles. In one swoop says i am like you. Clinton bush obama, all of them had personal narratives that were compelling, captured the life that they lived and how it brought them to the presidency. We see what marco rubios is. For jeb bush, its kind of hard. Jeb, though, i think jeb everybody talks about jebs in the past, engines injebs in the past. I dont know that its age or presentation as much as it is the fact jeb bush has not been in the arena where hes been beaten and bloodied about and broken since 2006 i guess it is. Its been almost a decade since weve seen him. Makes him seem like hes a guy from a different time. Well, it does. But his structural problem is that hes bush number three. That is the central fact that he has to overcome. And think what were seeing is that hes not in mid season form. He has been away from the game for a long time. And to sort of stumble or come haltingly out of the blocks when you have that big impediment i think is potentially a real problem and maybe a fatal problem for him. Well see how it goes. But i think hes got to get past that relatively quickly or else hes going to be forgot p. And thats why i agree that he has to announce and i agree with don anyny, hell be back in the arena. And think well see a completely different race. And i actually like the timing. I actually like the fact that hes laid back let everybody else get in the feed. If there are 20 people in the field, guess whose advantage that is . Its jebs. Because if its jeb versus the rest jeb can pull down 15 now in iowa and still win iowa. Whereas if theyre five there, he comes in third place like his dad did in 1988. This could be setting up perfectly for jeb bush if he launches correctly, if he launches well, if he lets people see who he is. In the echo chamber, one thing going for him is that hes appeared to have been approachable in the process here and taken questions from all sides. And i think in the big game the one thing he has going for him, hes governed. Dont forget hillary is twice, three times, maybe four times more than anybody else. And hes smart as hell. He remains the smartest politician ive ever followed around the campaign trail. Way better candidate than people know. If Martin Omalley has any chance of beating Hillary Clinton for the democratic nomination, he hopes its by running as a progressive alternative to the former secretary of state. We have work to do. Our economic and political system is upside down and backwards and it is time too turn it around. We are allowing our land of opportunity to become a land of inequality. This is not how our economy is supposed to work. This is not how our country is supposed to work. This is not the american dream. It does not have to be this way. This generation of Americans Still has time to become great. But then there is the 2007 Washington Post oped that he wrote with harold ford entitled our chance to capture the center. Three ways. And they wrote in part this. Some on the left would love to pretend that groups such as the Democratic Leadership Council the partys leading centrist voice, arent needed anymore. But for democrats, taking the center for granted next year would be a greater mistake than ever before. Contrast the collapse of a conservative president with the success of the last centrist president , bill clinton ran on an agenda of sensible ideas that brought america a decade of peace and prosperity. Gene a lot of debate about the Democratic Party and where its moved, but certainly this would seem to be an indication that it has moved left. You dont have democrats in the primaries interested in a centrist clinton type. Well, yeah. I actually think the spectrum has moved right, so the party seems to have moved left. But, yeah thats an interesting contrast between what omalley was saying a few years ago and what hes saying now. Where is he going to run against Hillary Clinton if not to her left. She can move to the center much more easily. Who is more likely to break out, omalley or Bernie Sanders . I think bernie has more builtin support out there. Bernie is very popular. And he strikes a nerve i think with the Democratic Left that Martin Omalley is still going to struggle to hit right now. I think bernie is the more you know i dont think either one is a huge threat to Hillary Clinton frankly, but sanders will get more traction. Gene robinson thank you. Still ahead on morning joe, how 150isisis is using water as a weapon in iraq. And is sigh with a over . Why the state may be losing its power. And how does rick perry feel about Hillary Clinton calling him out on Voting Rights . The president ial candidate will join the table. But first, bill karins with a check on the forecast. Lets face it, weve had an ugly start to june. Its been colds, chilly kind of raw. We do have some showers that are left out there and clouds but temperatures will warm up. Ill show you the radar first for theeft. Just a few sprinkles around d. C. , up around philly some just south of new york city. That will be improving throughout the day. That takes us into tomorrow. Belmont stakes this is when well watch hopefully first triple crown winner since 1978, American Pharoah the big favorite. Forecast looks perfect, 74 mostly sunny and light breeze. I think American Pharoah can possibly do that. The rest of the weekend good for today, problem weather middle part of the country and saturday is when well be looking at storms in florida, too. But nice in the northeast for the belmont and whatever plans you ever outside. We leave you with a shot of washington, d. C. Where we saw three of the coolest june days ever in a row. Clouds are hanging on, but i got sunshine for you this week he said. You are looking at two airplane fuel gauges. Can you spot the difference . No . You cant see that . Alright, lets take a look. The one on the right just used 1 less fuel than the one on the left. Now, to an airline a 1 difference could save enough fuel to power hundreds of flights around the world. Hey, look at that.

New york post, isis is using water as a weapon in its fight the to gain control of iraq. Iraqi Officials Says its taking place on the uhe frayity river. They closed the locks on the came dam to reduce the amount of accessible water. The move poses a danger to Water Treatment plants and irrigation systems. Isis seized the mosul dam last summer and threatened to flood baghdad. Associate president , the u. S. Is considering deployment of land based missiles in europe to deter russia. This could allow the u. S. To potentially destroy military targets on russian territory. It comes as russia faces scrutiny for alledgedly testing a Cruise Missile in violation of a nuclear treaty. Russia says it has not violated the treaty and claims the u. S. Has with its Missile Defense systems. White house officials tell the Associated Press they still hope to resolve the issue with moscow diplomatically. National joushrnal Senate Approved an amendment to the am Defense Authorization bill that would stop the pentagon from paying nfl teams to honor troops before games. Senator john mccain said thursday that nfl franchises have received nearly 7 million in taxpayer money over the last three years to sponsor pregame ceremonies saluting members of the military. And that the practice should end. The amendment would not only stop the payments, but require teams to return the money they have already received and instead donate to charity. Absolutely. Thats a gross story. I hope senator mccain gets that. Did anyone know that was happen something. If came to light a few weeks ago. So youre sitting there clan clapping and saluting the troops while the nfl is making money off of that . Gross. Washington post, beau biden was honored yesterday in a Memorial Service at the State Capitol in dover delaware days after he passed away from brain cancer at the age of 46. The biden family led by the Vice President received beaus flag draped casket outside and hundreds lined up to pay their respects to beau. President obama will deliver the eulogy at a funeral mass in wilmington delaware tomorrow. Joining us from washington, chief White House Correspondent for politico, mike allen. Well move on to politics now with all the republican candidates, what is taking the air out of the iowa caucus . Mika it may be that this weekend is the biggest weekend of the cycle in iowa. So many of the republicans are staying away from the straw poll. Scott walker the only top tier candidate going out. But this weekend in iowa, well see seven of the candidates speaking. Senator joni ernst roasted ride a pork roast and motorcycle ride, she and Governor Walker will ride harleys 40 miles from today ploin outdes moines out to the expo center where the candidates will speak. Senator cotton will speak. But politico is up with a story right now by dave price, a journalist in des moines, who says iowa is worried that their role as a king maker is going away, that with the straw poll disappearing and the democratic field scattered thoo thatats with a may not have the influx of the spending that it has in the past. And does it trouble you at all thinking back over the year thatss thatthats with a hass that iowa has such outsized influence . Theyre very unrepresentative states. What is good is that it forces the candidates to do individual retail campaigning. If it were Just National election, the election could be waged on tv. This way it cant. But being some people certainly to quarrel with which states play that role. It would be great if other states have civic activism and voter interests, but they dont. So while theyre flawed in a lot of ways i think its great for the process. Both states do a more serious job than anywhere else and it brings it down to human scale. Mike allen, thank you so much. Happy weekend. That was very muddled. Happy friday happy roast and ride. There it is. Thank you, mike. Always great to see you. Coming up American Pharoah could be just hours away from making history as the 12th triple crown winner. Well go live to belmont park for a look at tomorrows race for the record books.

But there is nothing more exciting than that. Triple crown horse racing. Do you remember secretary tear i cant tell secretary tear i cant tell, affirmed . Ive been talking about baseball and boxing the best in the 70s. But horse racing my lord unbelievable. That was affirmed back in 1978 winning the Belmont Stakes. Winning it a little differently than sectariat, a country mile. I have that picture in my house. Was that 76 . 73. Dont for get seattle slew. Of course. Yeah. One of the best horse names ever. Mr. Ed. Horse is a horse of course of course. Okay. The thing is it still freaks my taught out that i can sing the entire mr. Ed song. And i can sink the gilligan islands song. We had misguide edd edd youths. Your misspent youth has moved in to your 50s. American pharoah the winner of the Kentucky Derby and preakness has a chance to make history and become just the 12th triple crown champion ever. With us live now at the track at belmont park josh elliott. Josh, man, doesnt get much more exciting than this. Reporter youre right. This is what not just this sport hopes for to see an end to a drought almost four decades now in the making but really what the sports world looks for. Its a great way to jump into summer. At least to have a chance, at least for everybody to come here to bell monthptnth belmont in early june and have a triple crown contender. Listening to you talk about the 70s when we were really spoiled. All of a sudden we feel like were talking about rotary telephones and black and white television. But i do think, guys as good a story perhaps as California Chrome was a year ago when he came here looking to end the drought, he was a good story but maybe not so great a horse. But in American Pharoah, we have a potentially trancescendtranscendent horse. This horse truely breathes different air. There are worthy concontenders but its certainly his race to lose. For those not following this closely, we always knew that secretariat started slowly. She would lay back and then explode coming down the stretch. What should we be looking for, the uninitiated, in American Pharoah . Does american tear roepharoah breakfast, slowly . What do we look for . Ill preface will by saying that usually its not so much the trim he will crown contender against the other horses as it is the trin he will crown contender against this track itself. They call it big sandy and its big. Its a mile and a half. It will be the longest that this young horse has ever run in his life. But for pharaoh, all he needs is a clean break. You mentioned secretariat, and i hesitate to put anybody in the same sentence, but american fair pharaohs stride has been measured to be the greatest. So if he breaks clean, breaking from the five post tomorrow, if he gets a clean break, its really likely that he could run away and if a horse wants to go with him, they just wont have enough to stay. Unbelievable, josh. You talked me into coming out there tomorrow. Ill have to go to the belmont. Reporter get out here. Im coming. Ill see you out there tomorrow. Thank you so much, josh elliott. You can watch the 147th Belmont Stakes tomorrow on nbc. Do you remember 73 . Oh, yeah. I will tell you, i dont know if ive seen anything as remarkable in sports. As when secretariat turned around and exploded off the home stretch. I still all these years later, i was just a young kid, i never saw anything like it. And i dont think we ever will again. But it was the most dominant single performance i think in the history of sports. Certainly in my lifetime. Renlg sgiggie jackson hitting three home runs is pretty good. That is actually right up there. But not quite the same. During his time as governor texas created more than three out of every ten new american jobs. What would rick perry do as president to get americans back to work . Sorry, i have to go hug this man. Oh, god. Here he comes. Egins from the second were born.

But i always said one of your great skills and skills of a great politician you just cant have a memory. I dont have a memory unless you talk about my family. They ever i then i never forget. But what struck me the most you were talking about your dad, talking about your dad, west texas, blue collar guy. I sat there positionthinking he doesnt have a trust fund, hes not from an oil family, this guy can probably understand what struggling americans are going through. Sounded like yesterday todays what your message was aimed for. We were talking about real life experiences. I grew up in a place 16 miles from the closest post office. And a house that didnt have plumbing. Outhouse was the way he took care of yourself. And mom bathed us in a number two wash tub on the back porch. My mom is still a quilter. Your mom gave you a bath until you went off to college . Im saying sewed your clothes. Im just being a jerk. So you guys didnt have indoor plumbing until you went off to college . We were seven or eight. When my sister got to be old enough to havevhave friends over, mom said were building a bath in the house. So the friends came over and we well, i didnt i watched and we built it. And we had indoor plumbing in the house. But it was a great way to grow up. It was a wonderful community. My football coach was my track coach and my basketball coach. He was a civics teacher are, the principal principal and bus driver. And my scout master was also the superintendent of the sunday school class and also president of the school board. Really small community, people who taught us god country, duty. My scout master who sent me to the college that i went to. All of those are experiences that paint my view of the world. Just like my military service paints my view of the world. Its why i care so much about these so why are you running . I think America Needs somebody in the white house every day. These veterans that are being so ill suited today by the Veterans Administration they need somebody that goes to the white house every day and thinks about them and makes a phone call. I dont think the president today does that. One of the reasons the Veterans Administration is not changed, and that culture has not changed, there is not a president came when he shows up at the oval office calls his chief of staff and says what are you doing to take care of these veterans. Why is that agency not on the way to recovery. Thats just a good example of things i care about, im passionate about. Obviously creating jobs. We got job creation record in texas that nobody can compete with. Thats just the facts. Weve been talking about connecticut. Everybody is leaving connecticut. Youre right, everybody has been coming to texas. What could my home state of connecticut do to emulate what you did in texas to bring all those jobs to a state that is now dead last in job creation . There are four things. Tax policy regulatory policy legal policy and Skilled Workforce which basically translates to Public School, accountable Public School policies. You dont overtax. You dont overregulate. You dont overlitigate. And wife done all thoseeve done all those things and the proof is in the pudding. From 07 through 2014 1. 5 million jobs created. We added 5. 6 people to the population rolls of texas. Interestingly during that same period, we lowered substantially the Environmental Emissions in that state. So you can there is 12th largest economy in the world, there is not an inconsequential place. So you were talking about income inequality and sticking up for americans who have gotten a raw deal. And now tell me how you would to that. Who you would take on. Who is to blame. And do you have what it takes to sometimes perhaps go against the very people that you might need politically . Well, i think how you deal with it is to get this country back on track where when i talk back on track im talking economically. Lower the Corporate Tax rate. Any accountant worth their salt will tell you lower the Corporate Tax rate by 10 , youll raise mid level jobs by 5 to 10 . Every blue Collar Worker out there, my steam sisters friends need to be saying im for perry because hell raise our wages so we can have a better environment. But youre not saying anything that will insult anybody. Tell me i hope i dont insult anybody. I hope what i say is heres what needs to change. If wall street i dont believe there is anybody too big to fail. I think we made a huge mistake when we passed too big to fail. I think that with gm publicly back whenever that was like in 2009 when they were trying to get their deal through and i said im not for that. And gm has a manufacturing facility in texas. But use a the bankruptcy laws. When kuptcorporate leaders make bad mistakes, need to be held accountable, whether wall street or main street. This is your second time through this process. You had some good moments and famously not so good moments that a lot of people will remember. Thats the guy that couldnt remember the third agency. How do you get passed that do you feel like you have to recast yourself to give people a second look at you . I think thats exactly what is going on. And anyone who has done this more than once is recasting themselves. Im pretty sure that bill clinton had to recast himself after his rather disastrous speech at a convention. So everyone does that. Weve spent a lot of time in preparation for this moment. I knew that if i was going to be a legitimate candidate give myself an opportunity to be successful i had to spend substantial time in preparation on monetary policy, domestic policy Foreign Policy. Weve done that. You jumped in too fast last time. And i wasnt prepared. And you had a bad back injury. That really actually two people at this table can understand. Thats about as debilitating as anything. Where do you stand on raising the minimum wage . Im not for it. I think you address all of these issues taxes issues the issues of regulations, and let the economy grow. I want people to have a good job and i want people to have jobs. You raise the minimum wage and again, i side with those that say youre going to push down the number of jobs in this country. Weve already got 93 Million People not working in this country. Why create more of a gap there by mandating a raise in the minimum wage. Is there a spiritual crisis in the country now . A spiritual crisis in the country . You know, i can only speak for myself. And i know where my hope for the future is. And its in my lord and savior. Everybody else will have to find that place for them too. If people are looking for government to be their savior theyre looking at the wrong place. The things we have in this country, they were given to us by god, not by government. If you call spiritual crisis relying on government as a crisis, i would suggest to you we got a is spiritual crisis if youre looking for government to be your savior. Lets talk about you and jeb bush. There has long been, and you read the reports that you and the bush family dont like each other. Very competitive. Of course there have also long been rumors that jeb and george w. Dont like each other. So i put those all in the rumor category. Former and the latter. So was george w. Bush a great governor was he a great president . He was a good guchovernor to work with. We were partners for that only two year period of time that i was the lieutenant governor. His father one of the great men of american history. A patriot who i admire greatly. The bushes are a great family. Jeb was a good governor. It will be a good competition. There is really extraordinary men and women. I worked with carly through the years. Carly fiorina. Shes a classy was george w. Bush is great president , a good president . I think a good president , yes, sir. Lets talk about iraq. Did he make a mistake . Jeb couldnt answer that question. I said the more important question, yes, mistakes were made in iraq when you look at was it a mistake to go into iraq . I think going into iraq was a decision that knowing what i know today i would not have gone into iraq. I dont think anyone would have gone into iraq. But heres the more important question. Is that knowing what we know today, would secretary clinton and president obama have pulled out of iraq in 2011. That decision that i will suggest to you probably made in 2009 has been tragic. How do we defeat isis . You do it with a coalition. Saudis jordanians turks egyptians, israelis and other sal lie allies. Put together a very focused highly leveraged intelligent machine. And im talking about intelligence gathering machine. And then you use your military special operators to go in and eliminate isis. You mentioned israel. The president is talking about the possibility of letting the unite the nations vote on statehood for the palestinians. Is that a mistake or something youd support . I think support . I think its a mistake. Think its sending the wrong message. We are in the process of sending almost well too often messages to our allies that you cant count on us. Israel has been our longest, steadiest friend in the region. Theyre the most vibrant democracy in the middle east and we send a message to israel almost on a weekly basis that you really cant trust us. So when other people who may not be our friends see that they realize theyve got leeway. I think thats exactly why this iranian deal is going where its going. I think its exactly the reason you see Vladimir Putin pushing into the regions that hes in. They dont trust americas leadership to be there when they need them. Hows your family . Theyre great. I got two grand babies now. Nita is in the process of finishing up the house. Every time it clouded up it rained east of austin so were making progress. She seemed to be pretty pumped pretty excited when she announced your candidacy. The last time was kind of tough for everybody but looks like shes in it to win it. She is. I would hate to run for president id rate to run for school board, for that matter, if my spouse wasnt for me. Shes committed, shes a patriot. Those young men and women on the stage standing with me yesterday, theyre really important to her. Shes every bit as much a power behind the effort to make sure our veterans get the care that they need as i am. All right. Governor rick perry, good to have you back on the show. We love to have you, man. Thank you for coming. Very nice, very charming. Thank you as are you. Well you dont know her that well. Oh well talk. Good to have you on.

They talked a lot like someone i talk about a lot. Whos that . Elizabeth warren. Talking about income inequality and well, you know, she doesnt have, actually she didnt get the patent on that one. She didnt get the patent but she certainly has the background and the message and the actions to yeah she just wants to see i cant wait to ask him about it. Seems like this is part of his campaign now. Except Elizabeth Warren wants to cure things the way that democrats try to cure things in connecticut and the only problem is you destroy businesses. But feel good about yourself. No i dont think thats the way she wants to do that at all. Probably so. Willie has a question. Yes willie . We just passed the 28th anniversary of your win at the masters. We did. [ laughter ] why are you wearing that jacket . You know nicklaus wins in 86 and if i didnt like him so much hes a legend.

Still looks great. Doesnt really fit and im happy it doesnt have food on it so im not going to complain. Im not going to lie, willie. Every time i go to that corner i tear up a little bit. Thats where your life changed at amen corner this sunday. Thats how you got this job. Can i get to the news you idiots . In a second mika. In a second. You idiots. Thats hurtful. So willie let me ask you about this. I dont know if its needed or not what have we got . I dont know if we really need it or not. Maybe there may be some people out there that we think we do but the fda finally approved female viagra. Is this a Good Development for america, willie or is this something we should be concerned about . Well i think if the men can have it why not the women . Oh its a Good Development. Is it a Good Development . Uhhuh. Yup. That was a devilish laugh on mikas part. Exactly. Maybe you can explain that during the break. No it makes sense. Just evens the Playing Field. Whats that . Evens the Playing Field . Yeah. You guys get insurance for that are blue pill. Its ridiculous. No, you dont. Yes, you do. What do you mean . Its considered like a health issue. Is it really . You mean insurance pays for that stuff . Yes. But not for some really actually legitimate female health needs, you know the issue, youve heard it before. Some of your republican candidates are great on this issue. H its talk to them about it. I dont know what youre talking about. I dont know if they ever talked about female viagra. Youre apparently very happy about it. So good for you. Now, heres mika shes getting revved up and shes going to give you the news. Mika, what have you got . Excuse me . I wheel . Youre revved up about this female viagra stuff. I think its a Good Development. A Great Development for america. Shocking, disturbing and troubling is how lawmakers are describing a breach on the u. S. Government. Up to four million current and former federal employees are being told their personal information may be may have been stolen. At this hour, the fbi says its investigating how and why the breach occurred but Officials Say all signs point to hackers from china. Politico reports its not yet clear whether statesponsored hackers are responsible or if criminals acted on their own. Chinas embassy, however, says jumping to conclusions would be irresponsible. The breach involved the office of Personnel Managementing which conducts background checks for security clearances. Cyber Security Experts feel the hackers could blackmail or impersonate Government Employees who have access to classified material. The compromise data could include the names of the federal employees and their addresses, credit card data banking records, Social Security numbers are also a possibility. Republican senator and president ial candidate Lindsey Graham says the breach may turn out to be yet another example of america being walked over by rivals and adversaries. The Obama Administrations failures in Foreign Policy and National Security continue to pile up yet they do nothing to change course. I fear a cyber pearl harbor is increasingly more likely if we do not invest in the necessary infrastructure toll protect our nation. Lets get perspective on this. We bring in former Cyber Security consultant for ibm, now a director for the Heritage Foundation steve bucci. Steve, thanks for being with us. What was your first concern . The first thing i worried about was, gosh is my name in that list . Which it may very well be. The main thing is that youve got four Million People who at least two million of them who are active federal employees, have access potentially, to classified systems and now somebody has all their personal information. Four million. Thats a problem. Steve, what would be the objective of a hack like this . Is this National Security question . Is this for commercial interests . What do you suspect . It could go either way. But i have to tell you, a breach this big, even if its straight up criminals just looking to do identity theft, thats still a National Security issue, particularly when you look at who the people are, whose info theyve stolen. How do we stop it . Four Million People . This is steve, how do we stop this . And how do you put this back in . You cant, right . Whats at risk now . You cant put it back in. This is not just a credit card, okay, throw that one away get a new one, its Social Security numbers of great amounts of data. Opm has said its not the whole security clearance form which has data back to your Grammar School when you fill it out. But im not sure they know yet everything that was stolen its very hard to determine that in these situations. So theres a little more investigation that needs to go on before we even determine the full extent of the damage. All right, steve bucci, thank you so much. We really do appreciate you being with us this morning. Well have to follow up on this. Big news, rick perry, man, hes back in the race. Im going to say this about rick perry. Please do. I think this is the measure of a great politician and also i think sometimes a good man or a woman. Some would say i was not extraordinarily nice to rick perry in 2012. You just i reported. I pounded. And you gave analysis. He had a very terrible race and i would say a lot of things that you know he had a very tough race. He had back problems ive had back problems. I know, the medication. You get on medication. I was doing crazy things on medication when i had back problems. Was that the medication . It could have been the medication and yet the first time i saw him after that race it was like nothing had happened and very kind very we had you know i grew to really like the guy an awful lot and its like bill clinton told me one time when youre governor or president you cant have a memory. He didnt say you have to have a short memory. Bill clinton said you cant have a memory. And we did see that time and time again when he was president of the United States. The president s that have memories that carry grudges, theyre not as effective as those that can do what bill clinton did during the 90s. You can impeach him one day, hes golfing with you the next because he needs to pass some legislation the next day. And thats what clinton had more than i think any other president that weve had and certainly rick perry has proven it. Trent lott had it too. Well i think a number of the republican president ial candidates have proved to have this talent unlike Hillary Clinton so far. I think that they are out there taking jabs from people taking questions, getting torn at at town Hall Meetings and they seem unafraid and ready to go and its something im looking for on the democratic side especially the frontrunner. I think it will make her better. But not having a memory to an extent where you kind of let yourself expose yourself to reporters and people and like them no matter what theyve said, whether theyve disagreed with you or not, you have to be able to do that. You can get upset oh my gosh. But you have to put it behind you. My rule is a very simple one. If somebodys attacking me about politics, even the people who slander me and say awful, awful things about me on the internet its just politics. You put it behind you, you move forward. This is the one thing ive seen on your side that i think theyre showing. Stay away from my family and im fine. Everything else is fine. Weve got huge bless you. Bless you. My gosh. Thats quite a sneeze. Donny deutsch. Is that donny. You were mentioning my name, female havingemale viagra, thats my nickname. I did a list about best guests and worst guests. Worst jacket. Worst ever bar none. Well, you didnt hesitate when asked. It was just came out, one of those things. Well it was right after donny came on set and for some reason talked about having a dream of katty kay and hes approaching. Hes approaching. Oh, my god. Lets go to rick perry. Im not comfortable. Hes going away. Dont worry, hes out of ear zone. So rick perry is in again. Im glad he is. H hes talked about his humble upbringing in making his bid. There is no person on earth more optimistic than a dry land cotton farmer. [ laughter ] we always know that a good rain is just around the corner. To those americans those, i might add, forgotten americans drowning in personal debt working harder for wages that dont keep up with the rising cost of living i came here today to say i hear you. To the one in five children in families who are on food stamps to the one in seven americans living in poverty, to the one in ten workers who are unemployed, underemployed, or just given up hope of finding a job, i hear you. You are not forgotten. [ applause ] the American People, they see this rigged game where the insiders get rich, the middleclass pays the tab. Theres something wrong when the dow is near record highs and businesses on main street cant even get a loan. Since when did capitalism involve the elimination of risk for the biggest banks while regulations strangle our Community Banks . Amen. Thats elizabeth. Thats elizabeth. Thats elizabeth. Elizabeth warren is not the only person doesnt look like elizabeth but it sounds like elizabeth. You know what Elizabeth Warren said she likes chocolate cake and now everybody likes chocolate cake no, joe, i like people who want to address income inequality. I dont know if he means it but, boy ive been talking about it for a long time. There have been other republicans, Alan Greenspan said four years ago that income inequality was the greatest threat to American Capital zblichlism. Who do you think in the Republican Party can really do anything about it . Please. Are we going to have to listen to you every time somebody says something about income inequality its Elizabeth Warren. Its not all Elizabeth Warren. No its not but boy, he does sound like her right now, doesnt he . And why is he doing it . No. Ill tell you why hes doing it the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer the working class is and theyre finally getting it that this bothers people. Theyre finally getting what shes been saying for years and years and years and its selling now as a political point. Republicans have been saying it. How many times have you heard me say ive heard you say it. Youve been saying it for years. But youre not running for president. Im not the only republican thats been saying that. Really . It is so obvious that as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and income inequality spreads apart that are it is a fundamental risk oh no were going to go to huckabee. Were not going to do this next soundbite because i want to talk about the republicans talking about income inequality. You talked about perry having to have short memory or no memory. Hes going to have to count on the voters doing the same for him because the impression he left nationally in 2012 obviously was not a good one. He also the other challenge i think hell have is he talked about the texas miracle with jobs and the economy and over the last few years theyve lost a lot of jobs in texas as well so hes gotten a uphill climb but hes going to try to recast himself and rebrand himself. Still ahead on morning joe, the Iconic Company that may be one step closer to leaving connecticut because of soaring taxes. Plus a 91yearold man drives a car through a garage door. Well explain that happens a lot. Why it was one of the happiest days of his life. Youre watching morning joe. Well be right back. Zyrtec® for powerful allergy relief.

Lets go to reuters now. A former fbi agent has been indicted for allegedly stealing over 100,000 in seized drug money and spending it on Plastic Surgery, cars and a week end in vegas. I mean, you just described Donny Deutschs memorial day weekend. [ laughter ] the Justice Department said thursday the indictment claims 44yearold scott bowman also used some of the money seized while executing search warrants between june and august of 2014 to play for to pay for Plastic Surgery for his wife. Well, in donnys case his 28yearold girlfriend. From the Associated Press, 91yearold Walter Thomas of suburban chicago can officially check drive a car through a garage door on purpose off his bucket list. Walter fulfilled a life long dream with help from his family a borrowed suv and a soon to be demolished garage and two motorcycle helmets. Really. Check it out. Well i hit the gas, squealed the tires and bang we went through the door. One, two, three i think its in the category of the demolition derby. It was thrilling to get to do it after all these years which i never thought would ever happen. I dont know what i can do to top that. Im getting too old to top anything. Just live life to the extreme. Hi baby. Thats living. I like. It im thinking to each his own, but what is that about . That was great. Its fun, man. Its just fun. Every morning he pulls out, he has to wait for the door to open. Its over. The door is gone. I like it a lot. I think mtv should have jackass for the 90 plus set. Mark lighten up you never blew stuff up in the backyard . Oh that i get. Destruction is good. Go to vegas on Plastic Surgery for the weekend . So weve been talking all week about first of all, weve been talking about the whistleblower in oregon. They wanted to destroy all the emails, ordered him toll destroy the emails. Then he released them to the press. They were talking about prosecuting him. We talked about it on the show. Theyve dropped all charges, so hear hear. Good. We didnt have quite the impact we wanted to have in connecticut. The connecticut state Legislature Passed this massive you had no impact. New tax law. Well, they were talking about it, the debate went late into the night but, you know General Electric had actually said it would make the company rethink its historic home base of connecticut if they passed yet another massive tax increase after promising not to pass another massive tax increase. And now General Electric is doing just that. In an email to its employees yesterday, Ceo Jeff Immelt wrote that hes assembled an Exploratory Team to check out the companys options to move to a state with a more proBusiness Environment. Unfortunately for connecticut, theyre about 49 states that have a more proBusiness Environment than the nutmeg state. The emails said potential impact on employees could be one of the considerations and this is just bad business. I mean these new taxes on businesses first of all, they came after a massive new tax increase was passed a couple of years ago which is why governor dan malloy made this pledge while he was running for reelection just a couple of months ago. I dont believe there will be a budget deficit and i pledge there that there wont be one. Ive also pledged there will not be a tax increase. Thats not a promise i made four years ago. And then the governor made this promise a month later. Let me be clear, there will not be a deficit, nor there l there be a tax increase. I never took a pledge to raise taxes the last time. Its insane. Donny, listen to these numbers. A few points on my home state of connecticut. Its one of only four states that lost population last year. It was last in job creation last year. Its been dead last in job creation since twagts. And time and time again its been selected as one of the least business friendly states with the worst business tax policies. Steve rattner came on yesterday and he talked about the impact that that had and he talked about the most and the least taxfriendly states and its remarkable. Its not just regional. A lot of times we think, hey, northeast states are at a disadvantage. Well, guess what . New hampshire isnt because guess that . They dont an income tax. And its made all the difference in the world. And donnie youve set up and sold businesses worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And this is justs by i can math. Its not about being a republican or democrat or conservative, its about being smart or being backwardlooking. And youll remember there was a day when connecticut was a place that businesses rushed to. That individuals rushed to. That Small Businesses rushed to. It was a tax haven. People said im going to go set up my business in connecticut so i dont have to deal with new york or new jerseys taxes. Its now become just as bad. Its not even a partisan issue. As you said its a commonsense issue. General electric, look up in the dictionary u. S. Corporation and you come up with General Electric. It goetzets to the point with jeff immelt, one of the smartest guys, and a popular ceo. And by the way, he loves connecticut. He loves the state. This is not a dotcom company. This is not a guy going to say im going to incorporate in ireland. He plays within the lines. And jeff raised his family in connecticut. Hes loved he loves connecticut. Theres no state in the country hed rather be in. He makes the same choice that i made and other people make. Heres the important thing. I dont care whether youre a democrat or republican you cannot fundamentally arit mat arit matally force businesses to leave. This governor is not going to get reelected. You cannot run on that. No. And there have been so many businesses that have been fleeing the states since Lowell Wyche Weicker in 1991 started it with an income tax.

It once again solidifies the fact that the economy is in fact, growing. And the Unemployment Rate is one of the most confusing rates for americans that look from a distance. We have several bad months it goes down 5. 4 we finally have a number we can be happy about it goes to 5. 5 and you have to explain that its because more people are getting back in and trying to get into the work force. One of the lowest job participation rates in a generation. And what will be interesting is we still havent seen the consumer dig into their pockets as we approach summer. It will be interesting to see if the service sect orpiks up which it typically does so thats restaurants, stores, hotels. We saw a significant dropoff. So on wages a growth of 2. 3 only. We are expecting 2 so thats higher but thats still the sticking point. Most people arent feeling it. Theyre not feeling it. But its still mixed right . If you look at all the economic statistics, its mixed from where wed like to be right . Thats right. And economists are still concerned that last year we saw the same thing. The past few years weve seen the First Quarter decline and then a pickup for the rest of the year theyre still concerned we may see a pickup steady cam, get ready.

A year of huge emotional stress on our family. But these women believe there is something that might help, something illegal in virginia an oil extracted from marijuana. What is your hope for medical marijuana . To meet our daughter. To meet who she really is. To make that happen these families are attempting to do something theyve been told is impossible they must change a law that has stood for decades. A look at datelines special growing hope airing sunday at 7 00 p. M. On nbc. Joining us now, nbc news correspondent harry smith. Good morning. These mothers look incredible. Beyond incredible. Beyond incredible. They have such will and whats driving them . So there are certain kinds of epilepsy really severe seizure disorders. What happens is you have a kid with this and they say take this drug. You take this drug you take that drug, the regimen is about 12 all together one usually fails, second usually fails and after that youre over a cliff and nobodys going to help. So theres a woman named paige figgy in colorado. Shes reading a journal, her child is in hospice care is about to die and reads about some research in europe that says that something in the marijuana plant that might help with these seizures. So thats charlottes web and thats where people are moving to colorado to get this drug. It had an impact . Did it have a dramatic impact . In this girls particular case she stopped having seizures all together. Wow. Stopped. She was in hospice . Hospice care. So as the word spreads about this, you have people who are moving to colorado to try to get this. This is a kind of marijuana that is high in canabbadial. Theres no thc in it 0. 3 . It doesnt make you high. Theres nothing in it that makes you high. So what these women are doing in this story, we have these kids we cant get to colorado to get this substance but we dont want to get arrested if we bring it to virginia. The same thing has happened in georgia. The same thing happened in virginia and basically when they went in there, the legislator says marijuana is in the name of this bill . Forget it its not going to happen. Are people that shortsighted, though . Its so obvious. Well, i dont want to give away the entire plot of the thing but that law has now passed in georgia that enables people to get high canabadial oil. And it all starts with Somebody Just reading and putting without the internet once again. Shes sitting there the woman who starts it is in a legal state so she can call somebody up and say you ever heard of this . Ever heard of this . Ever heard of this . Youll see the whole story. Its dramatic. And youll meet the little girl who is patient zero out in colorado who was on hospice care. Youll see her flying there the woods on a zip line. Tell us a little bit more about her and where she was, where she is now. Charlotte figgy . So the figgy family is in colorado springs. The husband is deployed in afghanistan as a green beret. The moms at home with this child. Its almost impossible to comprehend what these diseases are like because one of the moms we talked to said well our daughter was down to about 100 seizures a year. Wow. Some of these kids have seizures all day long. Repeat trip after repeat trip after repeat trip to the emergency room and the emergency room doctors are saying there literally isnt anything we can do for you. And its not just a human story, its an economic story as well. Think about how much money taxpayers are paying for these kids to have hop hospice care go to the hospital for emergency care. There are Proven Results here. And that becomes the other part of the question. So the legislatures say well wheres the proof . And if youre marijuana, youre a schedule one drug. If youre a schedule one drug theres no possible medicinal value to the drug and you are as dangerous as heroin, thats what schedule one says. Guess what how hard it is to do research on a schedule one drug . Just about frigging impossible. So we want the proof yet at the same time were in this catch22 with this drug. Theres a lot to see in this show. Datelines growing hope air this is sunday at 7 00 p. M. On nbc. Harry smith, thank you very much. Great to see you.

Listen how did you think they did this week . Honestly i think they by far had the hardest act, im a little relieved it wasnt me but i think it would have been cool to be on their shoulders so they could help me dunk for the first time ever. You are way too big to be on anybodys shoulders. Your big behind youd be like this. [ laughter ] oh my god, marlon. That was the scene from the new nbc comedy variety series doing that. Joining us now, the host of the show comedian actor, producer Marlon Wayans. What did you just do there on stage . I kind of did a split. Ouch. I dont think i have like, bones in my knees. I think im part insect or something. I dont know. Its serious i dont know how i do that. The show looks fun. It must be that you know what it is . Its a great show and its a great time. The cast is really great. Im lucky to go to work and ceci area a and cheryl burke and Nicole Scherzinger and joe jonas jonas. Its a beautiful cast. Whats the idea of the show . What do you do . Basically we watch some great acts perform like the harlem globe trotters or well watch the Blue Man Group or some great phenomenal act and if the guests think they can do it they run up to the top of the stage, they lock in and choose a partner and they have one week to master those skills and then you have to perform it in front of the world. And if you mess up you look like a fool. Right. I want to do Blue Man Group. You dont want to do that. I thinkic. Trust me. Its a lot harder than it looks. You ever wallowswallow paint . Its not fun. You look in the bathroom the next morning you have blue in the toilet. Its a bad time. Its all bad. I want to know where is that miracle marijuana that the dude was talking about . Its lake hey, take a hit of this and you start walking. Ive been crippled for five years, oh man see, thats a hell of a high there. Boy, my friends would be like man, where you get that . That need to legalize that tomorrow. Theyve legalized in it in some states. Ive had friends move to seattle. Like yo, im out. Forget new york. Really . Okay. So along with this show you are actually starting to write and youre going to star in a spoof of 50 shades of grey. Whats it called . Its called fifty shades of black. And basically its kind of like what what if christian grey was black and he was rich but you didnt know how he got his money, it could be shady and hes a really bad lover. [ laughter ] hes really bad . Kind of like in the movie. But its really funny, a lot of fun me. And my producing partner rick alvarez wrote it. We just signed a deal it will be distributed domestically and it will be out First Quarter of next year. That sounds like fun. Will there be a book or just a movie . Ill do the movie then the book. And i want to congratulate you on the masters. Very [ laughter ] very few people remember. They remember nicklaus 86. I just want to put one in and just have you put the jacket on me next time. You have to go around amen corner to get that. Im looking at your background. You were raised in the housing projects of new york city and the youngest of 10 siblings. Yes. Does that have any my daddy got stretch marks. [ laughter ] can you write that one down . Weve got. It we want to use that one. And many of your siblings were with you in in living color. One of the best shows. My brother keenan and damon, they were the fore fathers of that and me and sean and my sister kim she was a great cast member. Me and sean just came along for the ride. We were like nepotism is real lets do this. You should bring it back. I would love to but, you know, i think its hard to try and find that kind of cast. You have to think all the people that came off that show jim carrey damon Wayans Keenan kim, jennifer lopez, jamie foxx david alan grier. Theres so many they dont make stars like they used to. Before it took 20 years to perfect that. Now days you know everybody wakes up they turn on their iphone and they put a Youtube Video out and get a hundred million views and now theyre stars. But its different when youre its like microwave success whereas before it was like nurtured. I can do that airs 10 00 on nbc. Marlon wayans. Thank you.
