The first time in our nations history that a woman will be a major partys nominee. [ cheers and applause ] we will continue to fight for every vote and every delegate we can get. [ cheers and applause ] thank you all. The struggle continues. Last night Hillary Clinton claimed victory in the democratic primary. Bernie sanders vows to fight on in next weeks final contest in washington, d. C. , and then the convention in philadelphia. What an incredible night. Incredible night for hillary, a great speech and moment in history. Lets look at the races, big one. Nbc news just projected Hillary Clinton the winner there. Shes also the projected winner in new jersey, new mexico, and apparent wehner in south dakota. Bernie sanders is the projected winner in north dakota and montana. Even so the delegate math says it all. Hillary clinton is leading by a commanding margin. You know what says it all, look at this, a picture . What you got . Front page of knock, clinton claims the democratic nomination. History is made. Im sitting with my daughter. Im like, youve seen two incredible moments in history, the first africanamerican president and now the first woman democratic nominee. I remember when bill clinton won it, and that was pretty impressive. Good morning, everyone. Its june 8th, morning joe. Didnt he call himself the first black president. We have Mike Barnicle. Legendary. Where are my keys . When is he going to give me the keys . I dont get it. Is he not good for his word . Did he have to win or be the nominee. Nominee. Friday. We decided on friday. All right. I like it. Former Communications Director for george w. Bush nicolle wallace. Thats mean. I had three hours of sleep. You were awesome. 1 40 to give phil credit. I got home at 1 40. Look at nicole, she looks so good. A lot of history last night, hillary, of course, making history. Donald trump, man, even had Mitch Mcconnell basically saying, youre running out of time, bud y. You either get your act together or were gone. Paul ryan got absolutely, completely i dont understand why they cant just say, listen, were not with you. Mark kirk did. Mark kirk did. You go to this camera, you
take that and zoom in and push in. Okay. Thank you. Did it again. Just like monday night football in 73, we got it all going. This is amazing. Thats the latest edition. Look at that. Im excited. That is suitable for framing right there. All the talk of Hillary Clinton being such a robotic candidate, there was a moment when she first stepped on stage, saw the crowd and drinking in the moment, there was real emotion on her face. You dont see it from her very often. If you watch that 30 seconds or so, beginning right now, you can see her drinking in that moment. If you watch her, youre right, the way she took it in, awash with cheers from that audience. The music was great as she came up. You could sense, i did, perhaps wrong, you could palpabley sense
now she feels free, finally free. Free from the burden and heartbreak of losing in 2008. Free from the burden of introspection of the media surveillance, just free. A free woman running for president of the United States. You know, as you look at her here and you see the genuine smiles, theres a lot of times you see her on stage and shes smiling and looks like a politician that was trying to smile. Exhausting. That does look so genuine. So many people who know her would long said they wish she would just be her self. They love her up close. Last night, meek, i think we got more of a glimpse of the personal meeting the political. And the person who knows theres still a very tough road ahead and is ready for it. Here is more of Hillary Clinton last night, strongly contrasting her vision for america with that of donald trump. Cooperation is better than
conflict. Unity is better than division. Empowerment is better than resentment, and bridges are better than walls. When he says lets make America Great again, that is code for lets take america backwards. When donald trump says a distinguished judge born in indiana cant do his job because of his mexican heritage, or he mocks a reporter with disabilities, or calls women pigs, it goes against everything we stand for. We believe we should lift each other up, not tear each other
down. Nicole, let me ask you, youve been around president ial campaigns for a long time. Weve been brutal, brutal, brutal on Hillary Clinton and her staged robotic performances, terrible campaign from time to time, i thought that was a great moment for her. I thought she hit all the marks and i thought she hit them exactly the way you want to right when people are starting to pay close attention. She strung together from last thursday to last night two of the strongest performances in her career. They were the two best crafted speeches. They read well, as well as having been performed well. Shes also, we talked about this before we came on the air, shes fixed the problems she had as a politician and a candidate. She if i had out the performance piece. You always heard from her friends and defenders in a room and privately, shes so engaging. It doesnt you know, its not reading. Its how they would sort of
explain it. Shes figured out how to make her weaknesses strengths. Thats the whole trick. The side that wins in a general election contest is the side that one remains on offense more than on defense. And two, turns whatever their perceived political weaknesses are into assets. Shes made this steadiness, lack of pizazz into an incredibly, at this point, favorable contrast to her opponent, just shooting from the hip in a way thats got the entire republican establishment running around with their hair on fire. Its called discipline. There is still a little bit of a conflict with Bernie Sanders that needs to be worked out. But willie, it feels like it will come together. He said last night, the struggle continues. I wonder how much longer it continue. Hes meeting with president obama tomorrow. President obama will come out with an endorsement of Hillary Clinton sometime in the near future, joe biden thereafter, Elizabeth Warren may fall in
line. I dont know if he goes all the way to the convention. He said he would, but when all those pieces start to fall together, Hillary Clinton began to reach out to his supporters in that speech last night, i think they do come together sooner than you think. Bernie, if he won california, then he won the grand prize. Go ahead and take it to the convention and say weve got a huge movement. He didnt win california. It wasnt even close. Theres a split at the top of the sanders campaign. We know that. Theres one small slice of his Campaign Leadership that wants him to withdraw nobly, honorable. And quickly. Theres another camp, larger camp, feeding bernies feeling about the campaign urging him to stay in until the convention. Bernie sanders has been leading this movement for 50 years. He is not wrong in his beliefs. He is wrong in his belief now that he can stay through the
convention. Understand, hes 74, 75 years of age. Nobody has paid any attention to him, other than the people in burlington, vermont, now the crowd, adulation, genuine fervor. Rock status. Are like a narcotic and hes feeding off of it. I dont know. Ic its the message. Its both. Hes got a powerful movement. I think, mika, what Bernie Sanders does is what will help the movement the most. If he thinks getting out tomorrow will help the movement, hell do it. If he thinks taking it to the convention, hell do that. I hope he negotiates something really, really powerful and important and unifies but gets something out of it. Meanwhile, donald trump was spending the day trying to quiet unprecedented criticism from his party. It got ugly. It did, about his comments whether judges of muslim did fa or mexican descent could treat him fairly. Said in part, it is unfortunate that my comments have been misconstrued as a categorical attack against people of mexican heritage. The american Justice System relies on fair and impartial judges. All judges should be held to that standard. I do not feel that ones heritage makes them incapable of being impartial. But based on the rulings that i have received in the Trump University civil case, i feel justified in questioning whether i am receiving a fair trial. Trump said i do not intend to comment on this matter any further. In scripted remarks read from teleprompter last night, and he seemed to look to move on. Given me the honor to lead the Republican Party to victory
this fall. I understand the responsibility of carrying the mantel and i will never, ever let you down. Too much work, too many people, blood, sweat, and tears. Im never going to let you down. For those that voted for someone else in either party, ill work hard to earn your support, and i will work very hard to earn that support. To all of those Bernie Sanders voters who have been left out in the cold by a rigged system of superdelegates, we welcome you with open arms. The chairman of the Republican NationalCommittee Reince Priebus responded to remarks, great victory speech by donald trump tonight. Exactly the right approach and perfectly delivered. Were still seeing Republican Party establishment try to walk the tightrope of supporting trumps candidacy while denouncing his statements as we show Early Edition of new york
daily news, paul ryan with trump, im with racist. While ryan tried to talk about his poverty agenda, he was quickly dragged into the controversy surrounding trump. Claiming a person cant do their job because of their race is sort of like a textbook definition of a racist comment. I think that should be absolutely disavowed, its absolutely unacceptable. Do i believe Hillary Clinton is the answer . No, i do not. I believe we have more Common Ground on the policy issues of the day and more likelihood of getting policies enacted with him than with her. What bothers me about the comments it doesnt reflect who we are, what we think or how we think as republicans. Its antithetical to how we believe, our principles. Hopefully hell not only not continue to say these things but learn from this and move forward and then offer the country a positive vision thats inclusive. You said you were hoping the tone of the campaign would
improve so youre not seeing that yet. Yeah, im hoping the tone improves. As conservatives, we want to run an inspiring campaign, inspire our fellow citizens and earn a mandate to fix the countrys problem. Thats the kind of campaign weve been hoping for. Yes, in the last few days thats not the kind of campaign weve been seeing. Hopefully this is a learning experience. Senate majority leader Mitch Mcconnell had this stern message for trump. I think a good place to start would be to apologize for the various totally inappropriate things he said over the last couple of weeks. Another thing id like to see him do is get on script. I think its time for him to look like a serious candidate for president , which means you need to think before you speak, you need to apologize when you make a mistake and get on script. Hes running for the most important job in the country,
some would argue in the world, and i think theres a certain threshold of credibility that needs to be met. I was with him in the greenroom when he went to the Nra Convention in louisville a couple weeks ago. I said, hey, donald, have you got a script . Pulled it out of his pocket. I said, are you going to use it . He said i hate the script. Its boring. I said put me down in favor of boring. So mika. We did. Yes, we did. Mika, lets start with paul ryan. Its confounding to me that someone like paul i like so much and have had so much respect for, he said donald trump is guilty of, quote, textbook racism but im still on his side. I mean, i cant imagine in a
million years, me endorsing somebody, somebody saying something i said was textbook racist and me staying, im still on his side. I think it would be hard, even if trump said, im sorry, i was wrong what i said. You know what i would like to hear . I would like to hear paul ryan say he needs to apologize. He needs to apologize to the judge. He needs to bend over backwards to show just how wrong he was. Paul said when he endorsed him youre in the going to get anything from this, heartburn. If you dont have full throated apology, you have those words and those words are racist. Corker is giving him several weeks to get his act together. The problem is that racism is almost something beyond repair. If a person feels comfortable saying something racist is a racist, thats as bad as anything else destructive in our
society. Racism destroys this country. It leads to violence. I dont understand how paul ryan could want to attack the poverty problem in our country with a racist, with someone who has racist beliefs, who is inspired to go there when they feel like they are in a corner. It doesnt make any sense. How can you work with this person if youre paul ryan . Thats a great point, willie, when hes in a corner. So hes in a corner with trump u. Hes in a corner. So he uses the race card. Goes to race. Hes in a corner in the fall, so he says and i think at the time he was fighting ben carson so he brings up this lets ban all muslims. He wasnt sure whether he was going to win in the deep south, so he felt like he was in a corner, so he decides the night before the southern primaries to say he doesnt know david duke. The klan theres a race problem. I dont get it. This is strike three, youre out. The question is, sorry, he needs to this, he needs to say that. The question is what exactly does he say at this point, now that hes used race as much as he has. Now, not just what you are today but what your parents or grandparents were now makes you unqualified to be a full 100 american. You can go back even further, go back to the first day of the campaign. His introduction to this president ial race was his comments about rapists and murderers, illegal aliens. My question to paul ryan, what about trump makes you think hes going to change. This is who he is, how hes conducted his campaign. I dont know what these buffer zones are expecting. What are you going to see out of him. I think paul ryans argument,
look, i want to get a conservative agenda through the house. I want to get a conservative agenda signed by a president but hes not even donald is not a conservative. He knows it. He believes, though, donald trump is more likely to go along with paul ryan agenda than Hillary Clinton is. Hes saying ive got an apple and orange. Ill take the orange over the apple. Would he say the same thing about david duke, Mike Barnicle . David duke would be more likely to pass his agenda through the house than Hillary Clinton. How do you do this . How does this square up with paul ryan, a guy we conservatives have been cheering for years for being like a jack kemp conservative, where you can talk about reaching out to the truly dispossessed without massive Big Government programs. Joe, the odds are that history will view the actions, the behavior, the rhetoric of so many people around donald trump who have supported him, endorsed him, history will view it as a horrific indictment of the
existing power of the Republican Party out of washington, d. C. , that they are so blind to what they hear and see on an everyday basis coming from trump trump is a 70yearold man. Youre right, willie, hes not going to change at this point. This latest spectacle began with Trump University. That has nothing to do with our government, has nothing to do with the future of this country, or how your children are going to go to school or whether the air is going to be clean. Its a private enterprise, private enterprise, thats what began this. Now you have a series of Republican Leaders making fools of them selves. I hesitate to say paul ryan, my friend john mccain, they do not look great. Youd have to ask your self, how can you continue to stand behind somebody, call someone yes, thats a racist statement, hes made racist statements in the past, but hes my guy. How do you do that . Its this blind i saw it
when i was in washington, d. C. Im on the republican side, so if they all get torches and go out, ive got to be on their the democrats would do the same thing. Theres just this blindness, but it seems to me that donald trump is making every republican pay a price that is too high. A price that could end republicans control of the senate. A price that could make them lose control of the house. A price that could actually split the Republican Party right in half. My question is this, when is there going to be a washington in washington, d. C. , that makes donald trump pay a price. When is paul ryan going to go in front of a microphone today and say, you know what, until donald trump apologizes for his racist comments and gives me a reason to believe that we are still the party of lincoln, that we are still the party that freed the slaves, that we are still the
party that believes, all american all americans have the opportunity to rise to the top. Not by government handouts but by their own power and their own genius, with a helping hand from us. Until he proves that he belongs in the party of reagan and lincoln, he doesnt get my endorsement. He doesnt get my vote. He doesnt get my support. Shouldnt get yours. Who will say that in washington, d. C. Well, mark kirk came pretty close to saying that by rescinding his support. Lindsey graham who always has a lot to say, this is obviously something that keeps Lindsey Graham up at night. What about the leadership. What about newt. Newt could say it better than anybody. Let me just say this, what they are trying to balance is something that cant be squared. So they are looking at the base
of the Republican Party saying my base chose him so i must get behind him. Are they no, the spirit of it is accurate, the will of the people, the will of the base of our party, joe. It took them a really long time to get here. Let me just say my parents. My parents are horrified by the racial they were with him from the very beginning. Right. My brother is horrified by this. Your parents your parents are horrified by this. They are trumps base. They have been trumps base and they are horrified by this. Why isnt paul ryan . Well, i think he is. Let me just finish the thought because its taking longer than it should to come out because of sleep deprivation. Just give me a break. What they can do now is binary. They can either leave their endorsement in place or revoke it but there is no curtain number three. What they all have to do is decide chris christie
whatever you think of the choice doubled down in his support for donald trump. He was there all day yesterday helping him with the statement that went out, with the speech last night. Whatever you think of these moves, he has made his bed, hes lying in it. Mark kirk chose the other path, revoked his, lynd yarks graham revoked what do you think of the choice. Theres a third choice. What is the third choice . The third choice is this. Donald, guess what, im not going to support you until you get your act together. Youre acting like bush league loser, racist, bigot. This is called art of the deal. Im taking my deal off the table. Until you come to the table, the other side of the table and prove to me youre not a bigot and you dont take my party down in the ditch you dont have my endorsement and you cant use Hillary Clinton as a gun against my head. Im taking the gun away from my head, im putting it on the table and now it is in your
hands on whether you are going to prove to the Republican Party and me personally that youre not a bigot. Dont use Hillary Clinton as a threat against me. Dont use Hillary Clinton as an excuse, as your blank check to say racist things about people born in indiana. No, donald, you dont get to play it that way. Im not scared of you and im not scared of the base because they are just as pissed off as me. Walk away. Its the art of the deal. Its what donald trump has been preaching all his life. They are i cant say the word they are. They are weak. Donald used the word in new hampshire. They are being weak. You need to negotiate. You bring up Hillary Clinton, great point. Paul ryan, you cant use Hillary Clinton either. Stop. Stop. Pathetic, weak kind of meandering around this problem, because willie geist, you know what we have here with these Republican Leaders who are like, cant have Hillary Clinton. Really . You hate her that much youll
take a racist. You hate her that much were going to have eight more years of the republicans we had who said from the get go with obama, we just want him to fail. Youre going to have more of the same. You are more of the same. Guys, its the worst of all worlds, willie, if they embrace a racist to beat hillary, they lose to hillary and destroy the party. Lose listen to me, guys. You embrace a guy making racist comments, you lose why. Because they are stupid. You lose the presidency, and then you lose the senate and you lose the house, and then we small Government Conservatives, were screwed because youve destroyed our party because youre running scared. Stop running scared. Youve got to stand up to donald trump and say, prove to us that you deserve our support. When you do that, then maybe well consider giving you our endorsement back. But right now, willie, they are running scared and donald smells
it so he can say whatever the hell he want to say. Its going to get worse. He sees them as weak cowards unless they stand up to him now and take their party back. Donald trump needs them more than they need donald trump. Thats my question, what is the cost of saying what you just said. Why is that a risky thing to do . What does that do if paul ryan came out and said its no deal. My endorsement is off the table. Im not supporting you until you change. Why cant he say that . Why dont all the people hotel us privately and roll their eyes about donald trump and come on the show and support him in very ham handed ways. Why cant they say that . What is the cost of saying that . What do they lose . They only gain. They are not doing to say that. Once they say that, they admit to a truth they know, the Republican Party is now in flames. Its going up in flames and its being led by a guy who started the fire, took off around the country, came back to throw my
kindergart more kindling on the fire. If they would today have a press conference say what donald trump has done, simply unacceptable, the party of reagan, we take back or support of him. If he wants to run a racist campaign, he can run his racist campaign straight in the ditch and get 40 to lose. We are going to spend all of our time reelecting a Republican House and reelecting a republican senate. Were going to distance our self. Were going to quarantine the racist on that side of the campaign stage. Were going to fight for the values we believe in. This is going to be a bifurcated race. Until donald trump steps up and proves to us that hes not the racist hes shown himself to be over the past few weeks. Until donald trump stands up and says, were not banning all muslims. We dont have a religious test. Were going to have open heart and open hands. Were going to keep our country safe but were not going to be bigot. Odds. I swear to god, its the smart political move. Paul ryan if you want to be speaker of the house, Mitch Mcconnell if you want to run the senate next time, the odds should be god. Go with your gut. Thats the smart move. Stop running scared. Stop running scared. The rules have changed. Stop running scared. As trump tries to move past it tries the seeming cure all for the party, go after the clintons. Thats their excuse every time.

A lot of i, i, i for trump, and a lot of we, unifying message for clinton. Isnt that the essence of whats happened with donald trump since last newtown . Everything is about him. Its about trump, trump, trump. He doesnt talk really about the country, he doesnt talk about your children. He doesnt talk about the immediate future, its him. Theres a real concern right now among republicans and people close to the Trump Campaign that the focus is not on uniting the Republican Party, the focus is not on the presidency, the focus remains on trump business, which
is why they took the entire campaign, he took the entire campaign into the ditch about a civil suit, because its all about the business in the end. What bob corker said yesterday, he has such an Incredible Opportunity. Even just to be a part of the converse as the nominee to bring this country forward, what an Incredible Opportunity that he has just thrown away. I saw im sorry, mike. I was just going to say, youre so right on that. First of all, bob corker is the chairman of the Senate Foreign relations committee. He more than most people in the United States senate knows the impact of trumps words around the world, trumps behavior as a candidate around the world. I was going to say, i saw jeb a couple weeks ago in miami, i just cant believe a candidacy based on insults, personal
insults has gone this far. I think it didnt catch up with trump during the course of the primary but it is catching up with him now that there was never sort of anything behind that. People wanted to see him fighting on behalf of making America Great again but it is not a satisfying enough meal to take him to the next level. We talked about his ceiling. We may have found a ceiling. Trump definitely looked out of his element reading the prompter last night. I will say you cant have it both ways with him. Everyone said hes got to get back on script, be more disciplined. He did that last night and now ripped. Talking about judges in civil cases and his business what we saw last night and a politician reading a teleprompter. I think we found it two weeks after wisconsin. He was a disciplined candidate. I wish he could do better just so the race was a hard y, good one. It doesnt look good now. In last nights speech he looked to focus the campaign on the clintons, both hillary and president bill clinton. The clintons have turned the politics of personal enrichment into an art form for themselves. They have made hundreds of millions of dollars selling access, selling favors, selling government contracts, and i mean hundreds of millions of dollars. Hillary clinton turned the state department into her private hedge fund. The russians, the saudis, the chinese all gave money to bill and hillary and got favorable treatment in return. Its a sad day in america when foreign governments with deep pockets have more influence in our own country than our great citizens. Trump said last night hes planning a major speech, he called it, on the clintons possibly for this upcoming monday. Meanwhile a super pac for donald trump spending more than a
million dollars on a new ad today that ties Hillary Clintons evasion about her email server to bill clintons 1998 denial of an wbr id wbr24084 affair with monica lewinsky. I want to say one thing. We turned over everything. I want you to listen to me. I did not i did not. I did not send classified material. Not a single time. And i did not receive never. Any material that was marked or designated classified. I never told anybody to lie. Thats all i could say. These allegations are false. Wbr id wbr24384 i dont know how it works digitally at all. The ad begins airing on National Cable today and is expected to expand to nine battleground states later this week. It looks like that super pac, donald trump himself goingtonesty, which is an area of weakness for Hillary Clinton. A strength of donald trump . No. Elections ar choice. b

Although we werent able to shatter that highest, hardest Glass Ceiling this time, thanks to you, its got about 18 million cracks in it. It may be hard to see tonight but we are all standing under a Glass Ceiling right now. But dont worry, were not smashing this one. Thanks to you, weve reached a milestone. First time the first time in our nations history that a woman will be a major partys nominee. Joining us now Pulitzer Prize winning historian. Willie, making a comment. It was unkind. Ageist, i like that. Jon meacham is a man of 40 some years, a young man but carries with him a distinguished a distinction. You said the gait of a 70yearold man. Today show talking fast game here. 78yearold man. A wise man. Hope i get his name right Pulitzer Prize winning editor of Washington Post, capehart, Jonathan Capehart. All right. So let me just hold this up for a second right here and talk about it while we look at history made. Huge deal. Huge deal. Equivalent obviously in many ways to 2008 with senator obama
winning the nomination. As the father of daughters, its a big moment. The iconology of power is important, and the idea that a woman is now at the top of the ticket is historically resonant and its made all the more so because, as youve been discussing, the choice has rarely been starker. Rarely. Thats the up side of what happened. Lets talk about the downside of whats happening. You have two candidates who have lower Approval Ratings than any other candidates in the history of this country. You have more americans calling out for another choice. And yet this 150yearold duopoly youve talked about, you predicted was going to break up soon enough, it still seems to have a strangle hold because it makes access to the ballot so
difficult that a third party option is the longest of long shots. Inertia, twoparty control, its incredibly expensive, incredibly difficult to break this. I think one of the sadnesses of mayor bloombergs decision not to fund a third party run, he would have the needs to make that happen structurally. Why wont he do it . He wants to win. Why doesnt he think he can win . His joke always has been when 57 new york jewish billionaire is not going to win. What about donald trump at 1 when he started his campaign. Me thinks bloomberg stairs at data too much, his data charts too much. Its true. Bloomberg, there was a chance here to really he used to joke about this, he didnt want to spend a billion dollars to change the conversation but when its this conversation in this
moment, it could be changed. The other reason whaus he didnt want to hand it to trump. He took his advocacy for gun controls in this post mayoral time, the assessment was he would pull only from clinton. To be successful, you know you have to pull from both sides. That was what the data showed him that made him unwilling. This is analogy proof here. Weve talked about this. Weve never had a hijacker plane and the passengers sided with the hijacker. So the populist force has always been outside the center of the party or outside the parties all together. So this isnt george wallace, this isnt henry wallace, because he has the structure of the party. Weve seen otherwise apparently sensible people deciding to make their peace with this solely, it seems to me, on either a kind of cultural deference to power, the
fact that trump has gotten the votes, therefore they want to be right with him, or a cultural inertia. I feel they look embarrassed when they are saying it. I cringe when i hear paul ryan and Mitch Mcconnell trying to hem and haw their way around this. We know these people. We know who they are. We know they are deeply humiliated and yet they still move forward. I have never been more confounded in the history of trying to do what were trying to do on this show for the past almost 10 years, ive never seen anything like it, anything more painful. Jonathan capehart, you wanted to get in . Yeah, on the conversation of bloomberg, one wing they have to keep in mind, trump, clinton, bloomberg race, the magic number isnt the raw popular vote, its electoral vote. If neither of the candidates got 270 votes, the election goes
from the people to the house of representatives, which is controlled by the Republican Party. I think for Mike Bloomberg to be he could get that far and then have the presidency, as nicole pointed out, go to donald trump because the republicans controlled the house is something he could not bear to do. When it comes to donald trump and the problems that the Republican Party has right now, as i said on monday and ill say it again, since june 16th, 2015, donald trump has been telling america exactly what he thinks. In that announcement speech, he said the infamous mexico is sending not sending their good people. They are sending their rapists. And then it just went downhill from there. You know, he insulted people with disabilities. John mccain. I thought for sure that was the moment that Donald Trumps candidacy would implode. Instead his poll numbers went up. For the Republican Party, Republican Leaders to now be surprised is interesting. Willie. John, youve heard people inside Republican Party alternating trump is destroying the Republican Party or at the very least splitting it in two. As you look out over the horizon, what do you think is the longterm impact of this one man on the party or twoparty system. I think he does potentially break the duopoly. The moment its interesting this is happening right this second. There is the question of are you on the right side of history. Its not it isnt even a particularly difficult call. Are you going to stand with lincoln, eisenhower, george w. Bush. Are you going to try to be small Government Conservatives, restrained, or are you going to throw in with a populist
entertainer in chief who is playing on the oldest stereotypes and racial questions. Its pretty clear. So what did you do in the big war, daddy . Where were you on the trump question is a defining question i think for the generation. I really do. Racism is a violent, ugly its one of the worst things in our society. Its one of the things that really tear us apart, creates violence. There is no this is an easy call. I would never, i dont understand this. Jonathan capehart, thank you very much. Jon meacham, stay with us. Still ahead, time columnist tom friedman joins us.

Wow, last night Hillary Clinton claimed victory in the democratic primary but Bernie Sanders vows to fight on in next weeks final contest in
washington, d. C. , and then to convention in philadelphia. Nbc projects Hillary Clinton in new jersey, new mexico, apparent winner in south dakota. Bernie sanders is the projected winner in north dakota and montana. With the latest delegate math, the writing is on the wall. Hillary clinton is leading by a commanding margin. Welcome back to morning joe, its wednesday june 8th. With us we have attorney and republican strategist ben ginsberg, msnbc Political Correspondent kasie hunt and Pulitzer Prize winning historian jon meacham. Hes in the geriatric ward right now. Do you guys get the walker with swaty on there. A cup holder. So try to put in lets talk about this election, jon meacham and try to put last nights results in Historical Perspective on both sides. Its a huge moment for women in american life. Only had the vote for less than a century. Longterm battle for suffrage and equal place at the table. In that sense, its clearly a hugely important moment. Donald trump smens, if further cement are were necessary, his nomination. As we said before, its an analogyfree election, to some extent. Trump has done something no one else in my mind certainly in modern american politics has done. Hes the outsider candidate who has taken over the machinery of the party and has now created a kind of, i would hope, a crisis of conscious within the Republican Party where a lot of people all of us know very well are deciding to side with him on the grounds that the base of the party has decided to choose him, so therefore they must sign up when, in fact, i think thats
running against what they believe they should be doing. Willie geist, lou at what Mitch Mcconnell said, there does appear to be crisis of conscious and appears to be a clock ticking for people like the majority leader of the senate and people like chairman bob corker. Im only going to wait so long. Majority leader was strongest yesterday saying, get on message, donald trump, fall in line. This is how we do things in this party. Bob corker said yesterday on this show im giving donald trump two weeks to get his act together. I dont know what happens after two weeks but thats what he said. Paul ryan, kirk took back his endorsement, george bush, tim scott said comments were racially toxic, the only africanamerican in the senate, republican from South Carolina. So the snowball is building. Pennsylvania cant support him yet. All these people who wont go to the Convention Even before these comments. So thats nice to hear all that rhetoric. The question is do they now begin to pull their support, do
what you said last hour and form a wall and lock arms and said donald trump, change or this the party is walking away. This is something they havent done ever, not even when the primary process was deep under way and you had all these other candidates, they couldnt do it. They were too weak. They were too weak and they were, quite trianglely, afraid. Its sad to see because you cant be afraid to lead if youre in washington. At this point, i have to tell you, they have got to get something out of him. They have got to get a full throated apology. They have to have him prove to them that he can be worked with or why would they support him. They are supporting someone who will destroy the country, who is not doing onwork with them. Actually somebody who will not be given the opportunity to destroy the country, he will destroy ben and my republican
party. Ben, obviously, youve been just as concerned as me and so many other republicans over the past couple of weeks. You, a man of the law, that a federal judge would be called out because his parents were not born in america. Yeah, look, this is a deal that is not working, since were dealing with this election in deal metaphors. Its supposed to be the art of the deal. Donald trump yes, it is. Thats why if youre donald trump you might recognize the deal is not working. You also have to recognize a couple of other things. Polls will switch around pretty soon. Hillary clinton will get her post victory bump. There will be a larger difference in the polls. You go into the convention where actually if the leadership of the party wants to do something, they can do something. There is still the nomination process to go through. Explain that. Youre saying the party could actually figure out a way to challenge trump at the
convention. Theres a fairly simple rules change you can make. Making a rules change is different from having the political will to do that change. But under the proceedings of the convention, in other words, something that has to be passed by this convention, the standard in the past has been you have to have a majority of delegates. You could change that to a super major of delegates for the first ballot. On the second ballot most of the delegates become unbound. Then what happens . Its an open convention. The delegates thats not going to happen. It is nonetheless a leverage point as this deal that is not working right now proceeds. Theres a fiveweek window to essentially go through where the leaders of the party will have maximum leverage to be able to say the deal is not working, youve got to do something. Thats probably where mcconnell in particular stuck out to me yesterday. He was so very careful the entire primary process to keep
his head down. He is sort of the ultimate at staying out of the ring at exactly the right moment. I thought it was very significant to me that he was willing to send a public signal not only to trump but to all of the republicans that are in the Senate Running for reelection, et cetera. Thats how i read that. It took me a little by surprise having spent so much time during the primary figuring out where he stood. Were going to roll Mitch Mcconnell trying to figure out how he gets from point a to point b on this. There as better way to do it, which i think you showed last block. I have to say, i dont know, weve been so angry about these comments and the fact there hasnt been an apology and there hasnt been strong pushback from Republican Leadership, arent you surprised to an extent . We knew he was going to win the nomination. Usually when that happens, the weight of the moment, the magnitude of the responsibility, the sense of duty that one
feels, you see that rise up in the person and make them better. It just what happened . Well, thats a question that i think people that look back at this race are going to be asking for a very long time. Donald trump proved after getting pounded in wisconsin that he could adjust. He brought manafort on. Manafort and cordy together directed trump over the next several weeks to become a disciplined candidate, kept him off the sunday shows and really managed the message. But where is the part of his soul. The question is what happened over the past two or three weeks are dumb founding. We all said around this table over three, four weeks, said hes got a short period of time to turn things around with hispanics. Hes got a short period of time to turn things around with women. You look at his numbers in both groups now, they are worse than they were several weeks ago. And you look at what basically saying to all
hispanics in america, if your parents were not born in america, then they are suspect. They may not be able to be fair as judges. They may not be fair as, a, elected leaders. You said that. But b, how could you not say, it was wrong. This is why donald trump has scared republicans so much because look at a time when everyone endorsed donald trump. They all endorsed donald trump after polls came out that showed him within two points of Hillary Clinton. So its a safe thing to do, its going to be close. Lets see what happens with the next round of polls. Maybe they are still that close. If they are not, if you start seeing a gap between hillary and trump of five, six, seven points, suddenly they are going to start youre going tooz lot of republicans running scared right now starting to speak out more. Remember, part of the big advantage donald trump had in this period was that he stood alone, having vanquished those 17 other republicans and hillary was still fighting Bernie Sanders. Thats about to end. The beginning of the end of that came last night when she stood on that stage at the Brooklyn Navy yard. Whether its this week or next week or at the convention, Bernie Sanders wont be there anymore and Hillary Clinton can focus all her fire on donald trump. Here is Mitch Mcconnell talking about Donald Trumps comments. I think a good place to start would be to apologize for the various totally inappropriate things he said over the last couple of weeks. Another thing id like to see him do is get on script. I think its time for him to look like a serious candidate for president , which means that you need to think before you speak. You need to apologize when you make a mistake and get on script. Hes running for the most important job in the country, some would argue the world, and
i think theres a certain threshold of credibility this needs to be met. I was with him in the greenroom when he went to the Nra Convention in louisville a couple weeks ago and i said, hey, donald, have you got a script . Pulled it out of his pocket. I said, are you going to use it . He said, i hate the script. Its boring. I said, put me down in favor of boring. We have done that. So why i dont get it. Think about what he just asked donald trump to do, get on script. The entire point of donald trump is to not be on script. The entire reason he got where he is not being on script. I dont play the politician, i speak my mind, speak your mind. Ive said that before, donald trump the golfer should understand, when you go to augusta and its the first week in april and its 65 degrees,
like 5mileanhour wind, you play a certain golf game. When you go to the british open and its 42 and sleet is coming down and hitting your face and the wind is blowing like 30 to 40 miles an hour and you dont know what direction its coming from, you get out your 2 iron and you just hack. You play a different game. Ive been saying it forever. Anybody that knows politics, ben, you know this, you play a different game in a primary race than a general election race. He is still like being here is a guy that you met in the strip mall across from augusta. John daly. Hes playing john daly right now. Hes being john daly and hes just getting it and swinging as hard as he can and goes isnt that a pretty drive. Thats my point. He only knows how to hit driver. He pulls it out of his bag every time even if hes at the british open. Thats the way he plays. Hes going to get pounded because of it. Whenever you work with a
first time candidate, this is not to excuse anything but whenever you work with first time candidate, there is that moment that each has where you Say Something and the import of the words is far greater than you realized they would be. First time candidates just kind of get in trouble at least once with the words. You have to learn from that experience. His problem is reinforced in the primary. But now hes gotten worse. Hes learned every time he makes a controversial statement bordering on racist. It pays him back. It has paid him back. The media usually overreaches, usually exaggerate what he said, and he actually gets a lift from it. I dont think he understands how different this is. Completely different. I would think the test for the principled Republican Opposition to the republican nominee, which is admittedly a complicated political task, is finding a way to acknowledge the anxieties and even the
resentments of the trump voters while distancing your self from trump and the trump temperament. It seems to me the republican leader who figures out how to make that distinction, how to make that point will position themselves to be part of the rescue operation thats going to have to take place after november. No matter what happens. By the way, we have breaking news. Lets go right now to alex and our crack staff. Tell us something interesting. Lets go to the endorsement desk right now. Go. John daly endorsed donald trump. True story. True story. I think that says it all. Big history. Weve talked about Hillary Clinton, she claims democratic nomination. What an exciting night for her. She packed some punches. She also last night went
after donald trump pretty tough. Cooperation is better than conflict. Unity is better than division. Empowerment is better than resentment, and bridges are better than walls. When he says, lets make America Great again, that is code for lets take america backwards. When donald trump says, a distinguished judge born in indiana cant do his job because of his mexican heritage, or he mocks a reporter with disabilities or calls women pigs, it goes against everything we stand for. We believe we should lift each
other up, not tear each other down. Kasie hunt, youre covering the clinton campaign. I think this is her moment to move forward and soar. I think youve seen her come into her own. You were talking about first time candidates and how that evolves. Weve never seen that in a general election before. Were so familiar with Hillary Clinton. Shes really only danced around in primary campaigns where differences arent necessarily that big. Obviously there are structural advantages to donald trump being republican nominee but it also has given Hillary Clinton a clear contrast. You can see how deeply she believes what shes saying about him. I dont think that would be true or as true if she was running against jeb bush. They have played in the same circles for so long. This is so different for her and that conviction comes across. This has all of a sudden become a much better scenario for her. I was very deeply worried donald trump would be very difficult opponent who would be play dirty to the point you cant even imagine. Now anything he does is completely undermined and muted by whats happened here. Comple credibility in terms of attack. America loves redemption, including politics. Hes not going to get it because hes not going to apologize. Hes not going to ask for it. That means the racist statement stands. The deal is not working. Somebody who knows how to correct a deal thats not working. The deal is not working. Thank you so much. Still on morning joe, chuck todd sizes up the damage, colossal damage to Donald Trumps campaign and ralph reed whose faith and Freedom Coalition directly from the embattled candidate later this week will be here. Later new york times
columnist out with blistering speech on contortionist act with their nominee. Youre watching morning joe, well be right back. Oh, look. Another antiwrinkle cream in no hurry to make anything happen. Neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair works. In one week. With the. Fastest retinol formula available. Its clinically proven to work on fine lines and. Even deep wrinkles. One week . That definitely works rapid wrinkle repair. And for dark spots, rapid tone repair. Neutrogena®. See whats possible. I have an orcogram we for an owen. E. Thats me. You should hire stacy drew. She wants to change the world with you. She can program jet engines to talk and such. Her biggest weaknesis she cares too much. Thank you. My friend really wants a job at ge. Mine too. Im a wise elf from a far off shire. And sanjay patel is who you should hire. Thank you. Seriously thgh, stacy went to a great school and shes really loyal. You should give her a shot. Sanjays a team player and uh. Weve been talking about Republican Leaders who criticized trump but are sticking with their support of the candidate, but there are others who are completely abandoning ship. Senator mark kirk of illinois who was up for reelection told nbcs Hallie Jackson hes invoking his endorsement. I cannot support him because of what he said. It was too racist. That was the final straw for you. That was a big straw for me. Do you hope the other members of your party do what youre doing now . I do. I think we should send a strong message to donald that racist will not be accepted. What do you think about candidates. Represent state of illinois
who would not agree with these sentiments. Hear that, racist and bigotry has no place in the party of lincoln. How hard was that to stay. Chuck, that wasnt hard to say . Easy if youre mark kirk and you know its good politics for you to say it. What about if youre paul ryan, you worked your whole life to be you will know its a profile in courage when you do it and its potentially something that hurts you politically. Look, its not easy to break, and i think you see that there was a point yesterday where i think the senate republicans, however that lunch went yesterday, was even worse than was even described. Here is how you really know. Mitch mcconnell by the end of the day yesterday was toughening up his words and saying its basically time to be mature. Whats the cost of paul ryan to say, until you revoke that, apologize for it and change your tone, you dont have my backing. By the way, get rid of the muslim ban. Whats it cost . Hes an lebroned leader of the Republican Party hes an elected leader of the Republican Party. Speaker of the house with 240 members, probably a majority have been begging him to do this. I think there are some people who think trump is a stain that can get washed out and some people believe youll never get rid of. Andrea. I think thats the debate that republicans are having with themselves. Paul ryan said that what trump did epitomized racism. Textbook definition of racism. How do you not immediately revoke your support after saying that . He went on to say that Hillary Clinton was worse than that. That was the option. Paul ryan is reacting to the fact that more than half his
caucus wants him to back donald trump. The senate is a different body. The senate could go democratic because of this. Youve got people like mark kirk. At that caucus, took on Jeff Sessions and read him the riot act. Shes endangered. Ron portman, ron johnson. You said portman is in ohio is in danger, pat toomey in pennsylvania. Its going to be toomey running against a terribly weak democratic opponent, pennsylvania is gettable at this time if donald trump werent at the top. Concerns echoed by another republican, this one from a swing state. Brian sandoval first hispanic governor and also former federal judge. He told the Las Vegas Review journal yesterday, i support the Republican Party and will continue to help elect strong Republican Leaders in nevada. At this time i cannot say i will definitely vote for mr. Trump. Whats he got like a 70 approval operating. Lindsey graham, certain hes not voting for trump. I just want people to know i dont feel comfortable with what mr. Trump is saying. Not only about this judge but the way hes campaigned, his policy positions regarding muslims. I just think mr. Trump is taking the country and the party in the wrong direction. I will be no part of that. So you wont vote for him in the fall . No. I cant support Hillary Clinton or donald trump. He says he will be no part of this. Look, it goes to this whole stain versus tattoo. I think theres a whole bunch of republicans that are trying to rationalize this. Republicans think he might be a stain, stain versus tattoo,
what indication do they have what productive conversation did paul ryan have that proved to him, what did Mitch Mcconnell get from donald trump that proved to him he would stick to any promise he made to them. Has he made any promises to them . What have they gotten from him . What have they gotten from him . Tell me in all your reporting, did they get anything from him. A list. A list of judges. Which he said he may or may not actually stick to. By the way, quick, i do think without this scalia vacancy right now, i think there would be more never trump people. I think there would be more senators that didnt get on board. I think the scalia issue is so important to some that mcconnell feels as if he gets a pass on trump because the base he can rationalize it. Look what im doing, its for the base. Some peoples entire argument, not that donald trump is great but we cant let
Hillary Clinton i think Mitch Mcconnell is sort of the canary in the coal mine. Hes the beginning of the leading edge of republican senators in leadership, obviously, leadership positions who may begin to move, because this thing is beginning to shift. As hard as it is to imagine that the republican presumptive nominee who won it fair and square and beat all those other guys, its possible that this is a bridge too hes a cautious guy. When he moves, it means hes reflecting everybody behind him. He does not move on his own. If this isnt a bridge too far, the party is dont forget his wife, a former cabinet secretary, is from an immigrant background and he reflects that and talks about that quite a bit. Mitch mcconnells whole book is about the pride he has in deciding to go lbj instead of goldwater simply over goldwaters views on the civil rights act. His hero, republican senator from kentucky who went against the grain. Here we go. Lets see what happened yesterday in that senate meeting. Joining us now from the capital. A member of the Armed Services committee, republican senator dan sullivan of alaska. So dan, what happened morning, joe. What happened, forks and knives and spoons all over the place. I heard kelly was pretty upset. Let me say, when donald trump makes statements we dont agree with, we speak out. Im certainly one to be critical. Certainly the comments were completely wrong, the latest ones. Here is the issue, he has an opportunity right now. Has he wo paths, continue these
selfinflicted wounds. You guys have been talking about these are going to create lessening support for him, and youre starting to see it, or pivot to questions Americans Care about. The number one issue, and weve talked about it on your show, they care about is the economy. We have had a lost decade of Economic Growth under president obama. Last week you saw this jobs report came out. Another anemic report on the economy. Almost half a million americans quit looking for jobs. This is the thing americans want to talk about. This is the opportunity he has. If he starts to focus on these issues on National Security as opposed to these selfinflicting wounds, were going to have what we should have, which is a real president ial debate on important policies that the American People actually care about. So youre if he starts talking about that, youre willing to disregard these
comments and just pretend they didnt happen . As i mentioned, im certainly not one who has disregarded the comments. As a matter of fact, in areas where its these kind of inappropriate, very inappropriate comments or do you agree with paul ryan that the statements that he made about the federal judge were racist . Look, the statements were equating ethnicity with bias which goes against everything we believe in in america. A racist statement . Ill let you guys label it. I want to know whether you think that was ill label it. I think it was racist. What about you . I think the statement was clearly wrong and i called for him to retract it. Again, joe, what we need to have is a debate. When donald trump actually focuses on issues with some discipline his energy speech,
that was a really good energy speech. Thats like saying look at the bird. Dont look at this, look at the bird. Let me just ask you david duke can talk about the keystone pipeline. Senator, yoptd to look at the bird. Im asking you is he fit to be president if he makes a Statement Like this and doesnt retract it. Is he fit to be president . Look, on the issue of is he fit to be president , the American People are going to decide on is he fit to be president in the next several months. They are will going to decide on whether Hillary Clinton is fit to be president. You have a candidate here talking about we have policies that will put a lot of coal miners out of work. Thats an outrageous statement, federal government is going to attack hardworking americans with no legal authority. Youve got to be kidding me. Im sorry. When donald trump makes statements i think are offensive or even policy statements that i disagree with, im somebody who has come out and been very clear, very direct with how i
view those. Lets go to willie geist. Another question just to button this up, do you believe, senator sullivan, what donald trump said about the judge is racist . I think its a racist statement and he should retract it. Let me ask you another question. You said you support the nominee but youve not explicitly endorsed donald trump of whats the distinction there . Why not come out and endorse donald trump. I think when you say youre going to support someone, and ive said it, as we move forward im looking to support the nominee at this time. What youre seeing is that if he continues these selfinflicted wounds, youre starting to see a lack of support. Has he an opportunity. Bob corker was on the show yesterday, and i agree with what he was talking about. He has an opportunity. Indeed, he has an obligation, in my view, as the presumptive nominee to Start Talking about the issues that matter. Donald trump can speak very creditably on the issue of the economy. Senator, we have to go to
break pretty soon but let me ask you really quickly. You agree with chairman corker that he has about two weeks to turn this around . Thats what chairman corker said . Look, joe, i dont know what the exact time line is. But as i mentioned, the longer these selfinflicted wounds continue, you know, the less support hes going to get. He has an opportunity now. Theres so many issues where he stacks up against hillary, economy, energy, overregulation, second amendment, where if he is disciplined and lays out his views, hes going to get the majority of the American People to agree with him over her. Thats what he needs to do. Thank you so much, senator dan sullivan, appreciate that willie, youre much better at this than me. I asked him five times and he didnt answer. You asked him once have you to ask nicely. Yes, its a racist statement. Interesting to watch many politicians tap dance with these questions. How do you do that . You softened him up with the
five. It is fascinating. Everything that bush, rubio, cruz, kasich said would happen when clinton got her hands on trump and when trump was the sole person, its all playing out exactly. If youre jeb bush and youre marco rubio and youre cruz, youre just sitting there going look at the speech shes able to give. Shes confident. She feels as if i can win a choice with him. You see her confidence. Can you imagine what her speech would look like if that marco rubio had won . That would be a much tougher speech. It was easier for her to give. Andrea. You can see, and you referenced this earlier, guys, she has a confidence and a poise. Her tone of her voicish she just has a seriousness of purpose that she didnt have before. And now with that, which, you
know, andrea, you say in the room it was just, you know, kind of incredible. Electric. It was even it was electric over the television airwaves. Kasie hunt, now shes running against her opponent, someone who has made racist comments and will not retract them. Its becoming kind of cut and dried for her. One thing that i picked up when i was over at the brooklyn headquarters a day or so ago from the people around her, kind of as they discussed her mindset, i think that there is a seriousness of purpose around her and those close to her in that they feel that beating donald trump in particular is almost a mission that frankly makes the stakes in even higher for them. They, of course, dont want to say it would be okay if jeb bush or marco rubio became a republican president , but i
think they really believe that theres a heavyweight on their shoulders. If they screw this up, the consequences for the country would be very high. I think that attitude and that feeling really is permeating the work they are doing now. You know, mika, donald trump has never apologized. I think his future as a nominee, a successful nominee of this party depends on him doing something hes never done before, stepping up and apologizing and understanding what a horrific racist statement he made. I will tell you this, you know, its kind of like when i ran the first time again a guy who was a democrat who tried to separate himself from bill clinton, its just easy. What are they going to do . When has that ever worked . It never works. You have here, though, a similar situation where we just had the senator come on and say, well, yes, maybe hes a racist, but
ill tell you what, hes really good on Energy Policy. It doesnt work. For the party, thats what i dont get. The alternative. At some point you have to say whats right. Listen, like i said earlier today, the alternative is this, its called the art of the deal. Donald trump stand shoulder to shoulder, you dont get any of our endorsements, none, until you prove to us you understand that what you made was a racist statement and you prove to us that moving forward youre going to be different. We just had ben ginsberg on here. If this continues, guess what, they could try to change the rules. Not a majority last sentence wall street journal editorial page, its what every republican in washington is thinking about this morning. But they are not saying. Because the partys future hangs in the balance, because youve got a guy who openly makes racist statements and hes getting more emboldened by the moment. So yeah. Like senator sullivan just emboldened him. Why would he do anything . Hes not going to do anything right because hes emboldened by weak, spineless leadership in washington. Sorry. Lets see what the end of the month looks like. I think corker is right. If hes down eight to ten, which is very possible, i think sanders people start coming into the then you will have and we hear about the fundraising problems, he picked a bad week to have a bad week, when everything is focused now. Do you know how many donors are watching this . The donors are all saying what the hell is going on. All the big donors are saying the same thing right now. You did have senator sullivan say it was a racist comment. Yeah, but his Energy Policy im just saying, the more you hear this, the more pressure is going to mount.

majority of americans can be achieved. For one thing were the biggest single grouping of conservatives to be found. They are found in that party. It makes much more sense to build on that grouping rather than break it up and start over from the bottom. That was then former governor Ronald Reagan in 1977 dismissing the idea then that republicans should break up the conservative party and start over. P joining us columnist and Pulitzer Prize winning writer, dump the grand old party. You write in part this is blistering, just going to warn you all you write, if a party could declare moral bankruptcy todays Republican Party would be in chapter 11. This party needs to just shut itself down and over now. America needs a Healthy Center right party to ensure democrats
remain a Healthy Center left party but this Republican Party is none of those things. Todays gop is governing what Trump University is to education, and ethically challenged enterprise that enriches and perpetuates itself by shedding all pretense of standing for real principles or truly relevant Value Proposition and instead places on the ignorance an fears of the public. It is just an empty shell, selling pieces of its self to the highest bidders. And then you get personal. You talked to chris christie, you talked to john mccain and you say this. Et tu john mccain . You didnt break under torture from the north vietnamese but you hunger your hunger for reelection is so great you dont dare raise your voice against donald trump. I hope you lose. You deserve to. Marco rubio, you called trump a con man. He julinsults your very being. Good riddance. Chris christie especially a man youve had Great Respect for, john mccain, truly a war hero, a Great American patriot. Everything youve been talking about, joe, imagine if john mccain were out there talking about what youve been talking about, clear, principled, i dont think trump would survive. I think this thing would be in a very different place. Few people whose voice come more than others and hes one of them and its missing in action. Why . He wants to get reelected in arizona, the base there. He fears the base in the primaries is with trump. What i dont understand, joe, here is my bigger question, what fun is it to be a republican lawmaker today if everything you
believe in you have to or many of the things you believe in, common sense things, you have to bite your tongue. The thing is, tom, ive always said nobody stops you when youre going 90 miles an hour, thats what i learned in politics, i went after Newt Gingrich when Newt Gingrich was extraordinarily popular in my district. Ran him out of town with 10 or 11 other republicans. Guess what, i just explained to the people why. You know what they said, okay, we didnt know that. Okay. Guess what, i get 80 of the vote next time. Thats the thing. Why are they afraid of their own shadows . People if you give people the truth, they will trust you and they will vote for you. What i like to say, joe, if you dont trust people with the truth, they wont trust you. They can smell it at 100 paces. You wrote earlier this month
about Hillary Clinton. You say i rise in weak defense Hillary Clinton. Understands the role she played as secretary of state, is she the lesser of two evils for you in this race . Look, im ive never neve enthusiast about any of these people. For me these are the choices we have. This is an important moment not only because we are electing three different branches of government but where we are as a country. Who becomes president now really, really matters. When it comes to choice between hillary and Bernie Sanders and donald trump i do not subscribe to the sanders agenda at all. I think when it comes to his economic plan he is telling huge burger king whoppers about what he can deliver for American People. I think trump is delivering huge burger king double whoppers. These are my choices. I will go with the one who has the chance to deliver. She wouldnt be your first pick in a blind choice. This is the choice we have. It is too late to talk about what my ideal pick is. What do you say to the millions of people who voted for trump . Are they just wrong . Are they blinded . Whats the truth to them . Telling team they are wrong doesnt tend to create a great deal of intellectual growth. I go back to joes point which is i think you can tell people youre wrong. I think you can tell people what we need now is common sense. Im not against the second amendment. How about a common sense gun law. Im a pretty fiscally conservative guy. How about common sense fiscal policy. When our infrastructure is crumbling, i come up here for this show and go through pen
station. It was invented before first suitcases. What about common sense Climate Policy . A little bit of insurance given where we are. I think there are a lot of conservatives that i know who believe in that common sense. If they got a chance to make that the center piece of the party, make their case, i am a huge believer that people listen through their stomach. They dont listen through their ears. If you connect with them on a gut level and they think you are serious they will follow you. I watched that. If you are bobbing and wheeving and doing this stuff they can smell it. Whatever they identify with trump they identify with someone who they think is talking the truth. As i said in that common, the reason they voted for trump is exact laep what you saw this morning with that senator. They just want their seats so why not have trump and the entertainment and reality tv . Better to be strong and wrong. Thank you very much. Much more morning joe.

Last night Hillary Clinton claimed victory in the democratic primary but bernie
sanders vows to fight on to next weeks final contest in washington, d. C. And then to the convention in philadelphia. What a big night for Hillary Clinton. What an incredible speech and great moment in history. It was something. Lets look at the races. California, nbc news just projected Hillary Clinton the winner there. She is also the projected winner in new jersey, new mexico and apparent winner in south dakota. Bernie sanders is projectedn north dakota and montana. Even so the delegate math says it all, Hillary Clinton is leading by a commanding you know what else . Front page of new york times. Clinton claims democratic nomination. History is made. I was sitting with my daughter like you have seen two incredible moments in history, the first africanamerican president and now the first woman democratic nominee. I remember when bill clinton won it and that was pretty impressive. It is wednesday june 8. We have legendary columnist. Legendary. Where are my keys . I dont get it. Where is did he have to win .

She was here until like 2 00 in the morning. 1 40 to give phil credit. A lot of history last night. Hillary, of course, making history. Donald trump. You had Mitch Mcconnell last night saying you are running out of time, buddy. You need to get your act together or were gone. Paul ryan absolutely just i dont understand why they cant just say we are not with you. Mark kirk did. So when you go to the camera you take that and then you move a little bit, push and push. Push in. Thank you. Boom. Did it again. Just like monday night football in 73. You have it all going. This is an amazing one. Look at that. Im excited. That is suitable for framing right there. For all the talk of Hillary Clinton being such a robotic political candidate there was a moment when she first stepped on the stage and saw the crowd and was drinking in the moment that
was real emotion. You dont see it from her very often. If you watch that 30 seconds or so you can see her drinking in that moment. If you watch her the way she took it in, a wash with cheers from the audience, the music was good. You can sense, at least i did, you could sense the fact that she feels now free, finally free. Free from the burden, heartbreak of losing in 2008. Free from the burden of introspection of the media surveillance. Just free, a free woman running for president of the United States. You know, as you look at her here and you see the smiles, a lot of times you see her on stage and she is smiling and looks like a politician who is trying to smile, that does look so genuine and so many people who know her have long said they
wish she would just be herself because they love her up close and last night i think we got more of a glimpse of the personal meeting the political. And the person who knows there is a tough road ahead and ready for it, here is more of Hillary Clinton last night strongly contrasting her vision for america with that of donald trump. Cooperation is better than conflict. Unity is better than division. Empowerment is better than resentment and bridges are better than walls. When he says lets make America Great again, that is code for lets take america backwards. When donald trump says a distinguished judge born in indiana cant do his job because of his mexican heritage or he
mocks a reporter with disabilities or calls women pigs it goes against everything we stand for. We believe we should lift each other up, not tear each other down. Nicole, let me ask you, you have been around president ial campaigns for a long time. We have been brutal on Hillary Clinton and her staged robotic performances, terrible campaign from time to time. I thought that was a great moment for her. I thought she hit all the marks. I thought she hit them exactly the way you want to right when people are starting to pay close attention. She strung together two of the strongest performances in
her career. They were the two best crafted speeches. They read well and perform well. She also fixed the problems she had. We always heard from her friends and defenders that in a room and privately she is so engaging and it is not reading. Its how they would sort of explain it. She has figured out how to make her weaknesses strengths. The side that wins in a general election contest is the side that one remains on offense and turns weaknesses into assets and she has made this lack of a little bit of pizazz into an incredibly at this point favorable contrast to her opponent, shooting from the hip in the way that has the republican establishment running
around with their hair on fire. Meanwhile donald trump was spending the day trying to quiet the criticism. It got ugly. It did. Over comments about whether judges most focussed on defending Trump University. The Presumptive Republican nominee said in part it is unfortunate that my comments have been misconstrued as a categorical attack. The american Justice System relies on fair and impartial judges. I do not feel that ones heritage makes them incapable of being impartial. Based on rulings i have received i feel justified in questioning whether i am receiving a fair trial. Trump said i do not intend to comment on this matter any further. And in scripted remarks read
from teleprompter last night and seemed to look to move on. Giving me the honor to lead the Republican Party to victory this fall. I understand the responsibility of carrying the metal and i will never, ever let you down. Too much work, too many people, blood sweat and tears. Never going to let you down. To those who voted for someone else in either party i will work hard to earn your support and i will work very hard to earn that support. To all of those Bernie Sanders voters who are left out in the cold by a rigged system of superdelegates, we welcome you with open arms. Reince priebus responded to trumps remarks, great victory speech by donald trump tonight,
exactly the right approach and perfectly delivered. We are still seeing the Republican Party establishment trying to walk the tight rope of supporting trumps candidacy while denouncing his statements. Summed up House Speaker paul ryans while ryan tried to talk about poverty agenda he was dragged into controversy surrounding trump. Claiming a person cant do the job because of their race is like the textbook definition of a racist comment. It is absolutely unacceptable. But do i believe that Hillary Clinton is the answer . No, i do not. I believe we have more Common Ground on the policy issues in the day and more likelihood of getting our policies enacted with him than with her. Mitch mcconnell had this stern message for trump. I think a good place to start would be to apologize for the various totally inappropriate things that he said over the last couple of weeks. Another thing i would like to see him do is get on script. I think it is time for him to look like a serious candidate for president which means that you need to think before you speak. You need to apologize when you make a mistake and get on script. Hes running for the most important job in the country, some would argue in the world. I think there is a certain threshold of credibility that needs to be met. I was with him in the green room when he went to Nra Convention in louisville a couple of weeks ago. I said donald, you have a script . Are you going to use it . He said i hate the script. Its boring. I said put me down so, mika, lets start with paul ryan. I have to say its still
confounding to me where paul, a guy that i have known and liked so much and have had so much respect for, he says that donald trump is guilty of, quote, textbook racism. But im still on his side. I cant imagine in a million years me endorsing somebody, somebody saying something that i would say is textbook racist and me saying but im still on his side. I think it would be hard even if trump said im sorry it was wrong what i said. I would like to hear paul ryan say he needs to apologize. He needs to apologize to the judge. He needs to bend over backwards to show just how wrong he was. Paul is not asking for anything. Like you said when he endorsed him, you are going to get nothing from this. If you dont have that at
least full throated apology you have those words and those words were racist. And corker is giving him several weeks to get his act together. The problem is that racism is almost something beyond repair. If a person feels comfortable saying something racist is a racist then that is as bad as anything else that is destructive in our society. Racism destroys this country. It leads to violence. I dont understand how paul ryan could want to attack the poverty problem in our country with a racist, with someone who has racist beliefs, who is inspired to go there when they feel like they are in a corner. I mean, it doesnt make any sense. How can you work with this person . When he is in a corner, so he is in a corner with trump u. So he uses the race card. He is in a corner in the fall so
he says i think at the time he was fighting ben carson so brings up the lets ban all muslims. He wasnt sure whether he was going to win in the deep south so he felt like he was in a corner. So he decides the night before the southern primaries to say he doesnt know david duke. This is strike three youre out. The question is, we are talking about he needs to say he is sorry and say this and that. The question is, what exactly does he say at this point now that he has used race as much as he has. What your parents or grand parents were now makes you unqualified to be a full 100 american. You can go back further. Go to first day of campaign. His introduction to the president ial race was comment
about Illegal Immigrants being rapists and murderers. The question i ask is what about donald trump makes you think that he is going to change . This is who he is. This is who he has been, the way he has conducted his campaign. I dont know what these buffer zones are getting him. What are you going to see out of him. I think paul ryans argument is i want to get a conservative agenda through the house. I want to get a conservative agenda signed by a president. He believes that donald trump is more likely to go along with the paul ryan agenda than Hillary Clinton is. He is saying i have an apple and an orange. I will take the orange over the apple. Would he say the same thing about david duke . David duke would be more likely to pass the agenda through the house than, say, Hillary Clinton. How do you do this . How does this square up with paul ryan, a guy who we conservatives have been cheering for years for being a jack kemp
conservative where you can talk about reaching out to the truly last massive Big Government programs. The odds are that history will view the actions, the behavior, the rhetoric of so many people around donald trump who have supported or who have endorsed him. History will view it as a horrific inindictment of the existing power of the Republican Party out of washington, d. C. They are so blind to what they hear and see on an every day basis coming from trump. Trump is a 70yearold man. He is not going to change at this point. This latest spectacle began with Trump University. That has nothing to do with our government, has nothing to do with the future of this country or how your children are going to go to school or whether the year will be so defensive. It is a private enterprise. That is what began this. So you have a series of
Republican Leaders making fools of themselves. I hesitate to say paul ryan. My friend john mccain, they do not look great. You is to ask yourself, how can you continue to stand behind someone, you call someone. He has made racist statements in the past. How do you do that . It is what i saw in washington, d. C. Im on the republican side. So if they get torches and go out and i have to be the democrats do the same thing. There is just this blindness. It seems to me that donald trump is making every republican pay a price that is too high, a price that could end republicans control of the senate, a price to make them lose control of the house, a price that can split the Republican Party right in half. My question is this. When is there going to be a
republican in washington, d. C. That makes donald trump pay a price . When is paul ryan going to go in front of a microphone today and say until donald trump apologizes for his racist comments and gives me a reason to believe that we are still the party of lincoln, that we are still the party that freed the slaves, that we are still the party that believes all americans, all americans have the opportunity to rise to the top, not by government handouts but by their own power and their own genius with a helping hand from us . Until he proves that he belongs in the party of reagan and lincoln he doesnt get my endorsement. He doesnt get my vote. He doesnt get my support. Who will say that in washington, d. C. . Well, mark kirk came pretty close to saying that by
rescinding his support. Lindsey graham who always has a lot to say. He may do what jeb bush plans to do what about the leadership . Newt can say it better than anybody. Let me say this. What they are trying to balance is something that cant be squared. So they are looking at the base of the Republican Party saying my base chose him so i must get behind him. The spirit of it is accurate, the will of the people, the will of the base of our party. It took them a really long time to get here. Let me ask you this question. Your parents and my parents are horrified by it. They were with him from the very beginning. My brother is horrified by this. Your parents are horrified by this. They are trumps base. They have been trumps base and they are horrified by this. Why isnt paul ryan . Let me finish this thought because it is taking longer than it should to come out. Just give me a break. What they can do now is binary. They can either leave their endorsement in place or revoke it but there is no curtain number three. What they have to do is decide. Chris christie, whatever you think of the choice, doubled down on his support for donald trump. He was there all day yesterday helping him with the statement that went out with the speech last night. Whatever you think of the moves he has made his bed and is lying in it. Mark kirk chose the other path. Mark kirk revoked his support. There is a third choice. Ill tell you what the third choice is. Donald, im not going to support you until you get your act together. You are acting like a loser, acting like a racist and bigot. This is called art of the deal. Im taking my deal off the table. Until you get on the other side of the table and prove you are not a bigot and not going to take my party down in the ditch, you dont have my endorsement and you cant use Hillary Clinton as a gun against my head. Im taking the gun away from my head. Im putting it on the table and now it is in your hands on whether you are going to prove to the Republican Party and me personally that you are not a bigot. So dont use Hillary Clinton as a threat against me. Dont use Hillary Clinton as an excuse as your blank check to say racist things about people born in indiana. You dont get to play it that way. Im not scared of you and im not scared of the base because you are just as pissed off as me. It is called art of the deal. It is what donald trump has been preaching his life. I cant say the word that they are. They are weak. You are being weak. You bring up Hillary Clinton. Its a great point because here is the deal. Paul ryan, you cant use Hillary Clinton either in your pathetic, weak kind of meandering around this problem because willie geist you know what we have here with Republican Leaders who are like cant have Hillary Clinton. You will take a racist. You hate her that much we will have eight more years of republicans we had who said we just want you to fail. It is the worst of all worlds, willie. If they embrace the racist to beat hillary they lose to hillary and they destroy the party. They hate her that much. They lose. Listen to me. You embrace a guy making racist comments you lose the presidency. Amazing. And then you lose the senate and you lose the house. Then we small Government Conservatives are screwed because you destroyed our party because you are running scared. Stop running scared. You have to stand up to donald trump and say prove to us that you deserve our support. And when you do that then maybe we will consider giving you our endorsement back. Right now they are running scared and donald smells it. He sees them as weak cowards unless they start standing up to him right now and they take their party back. Donald trump needs them more than they need donald trump. That is my question. What is the cost of saying what you just said . Why is that a risky thing to do . If paul ryan said it is no deal, my endorsement is off the table, im not supporting you until you change, why cant he say that . Why cant people who tell us privately and roll their eyes about donald trump and support him, why cant they say that . What is the cost of saying that . Still ahead on morning joe. Tonight i had a very gracious call from secretary clinton and congratulated her on her victories tonight. I am pretty good in arithmetic and i know that the fight in front of us is a very, very steep fight but we will continue to fight for every vote and every delegate. Emphasis on tonight. Bernie sanders vows to take the fight to the convention in philadelphia. Chris jansing joins us live from california where Hillary Clinton was just declared the winner. You are watching morning joe.

fight in the last primary in washington. And then we take our fight for social, economic, racial and Environmental Justice to philadelphia, pennsylvania. I am pretty good in arithmetic and i know that the fight in front of us is a very, very steep fight but we will continue to fight for every vote and every delegate. Thank you all. The struggle continues. Lets bring in columnist and msnbc political analyst eugene robinson. When did donald call you Gene Washington . Last week. And chris jansing. Do you get the sense that Bernie Sanders is really going to take this all the way to the convention . I had a little different read of the speech last night than i think other people did. He didnt say Hillary Clinton has made history, i want to congratulate her for that. He said that they had a gracious call. He said he had a fine call from president obama. But i do think that if somebody has listened to his speech for the last month, there were some changes that may be significant. That is when he talked about the struggle continues, the whole setup to that was really about the issues that the people who follow him, the 3,304 people in that room and the sound was deafening, those are the kinds of things he laid out before
saying we are going to take this all the way to the convention which i think to me left an opening. Look, talking to two people very close to him yesterday, they said he is going to need a couple of days. I think we also have to put this in the context of where they were in the night. All along Bernie Sanders says we have pressed him why are you still in the race . Not an easy thing for a candidate to hear. The answer was i dont want to deal in hypotheticals. Last night when he took to the stage he had not been with two of the people who are closest to advising him on these kinds of issues, jeff weaver, tad divine, they were looking at the returns coming in. They told him he looked good for montana and that california was indeed closing. And you mentioned this, mika,
there was a very personal and i thought private moment in the midst of these people between jane and Bernie Sanders when she kissed him and she said they are still with you. There is no doubt that these folks are still with him. So heez hes got to walk that l that candidates have for so many years, that Hillary Clinton had to do in 2008 which is that they have to figure out how to take it and move it forward. I talked to a lot of people. They waited for five hours many of them. They are not of a mindset to immediately move on. So thats the challenge for him, for Hillary Clinton, for barack obama. These meetings i think tomorrow are going to be very, very important. And so will some good sleep. Thank you so much. Where does bernie go from here . Back to the senate. Just like that . He is going to meet with
harry reid. Thats an important meeting. Another important meeting would be with chuck schumer. If i were Bernie Sanders one thing that would have crossed my mind is that democrats have a chance to take back the senate. And he can be a very important man in the u. S. Senate. He has this movement now, what is he going to do with it . If you assemble an army, unless you give it a new nation or Something Like that it dissipates and goes away and then you are not Bernie Sanders the rock star, you the senator from vermont. You have to have a goal. You have to have a position. I think that is what he needs to play for.

They have been unbelievable. Boy, do they understand me. They understand me better than anybody. I said that this morning to somebody. I said i think the evangelicals really do get me. You get him. Donald trump will headline the faith and Freedom Coalitions road to maturity conference. Joining us now ralph reed served as Senior Adviser in 2000 and 2004. All evangelicals believe you were saved by faith and grace and and by asking for forgiveness. What do evangelicals make of a
man who says he has no need for god to forgive him, cant name a verse in the bible and refers to to and won the evangelical vote in the primaries against a field that included two sons of preachers, ted cruz and scott walker, a former preacher, mike huckabee. Explain that to us. It is a teachable moment for everybody about the faith vote in america. The first myth is that they vote based on identity politics. In other words, if somebody goes to the same church i do and they take to the same confession i do i am going to vote for them as opposed to this person over there. Not true. Never been true. When reagan was asked if he was born again he said we dont use that phrase in my church. He won the is evangelical vote
against jimmy carter. The second way trump did it is he understood in a way nobody else understood this was unconventional year that demanded unconventional campaign. He didnt listen to consultant class. That guy also at the same time is praising planned parenthood. Lets be clear. The third and this is critical. He would have never done this without this. He signed on the dotted line on the key moral and cultural issues that fuel this constituency. He is pro life. He says he is against federal funding for planned parenthood. He has said they do good things but said they are not going to get it done with taxpayer money because they perform abortions. He is on record in support of traditional marriage. He strongly proisrael. Had he not signed on those core issues he would not have gotten
a hearing. But do evangelicals think he is sincere . These are not positions he held weeks or months before he ran for president. It is pretty well known that beforehand was kind of a moderate democrat and supported planned parenthood. So how does that work . Evangelicals and not them alone, lets be clear, all people of faith but particularly evangelicals. When somebody comes forward and says i used to be this but now im that they dont turn them away, they embrace them. Reagan signed the most permissive abortion law in america in 1969 i think before we became pro life. Bush 41 was pro choice before he
became pro life. Mitt romney was pro choice before he became pro life. There is nothing new. That is a sign of success, not failure. An oped reads this. As he has on so much else, trump has been entirely opportunistic in approach to religion. His comments suggest he is far more antimulti cultural than religion. If i become president we will be saying Merry Christmas at every store he said. The fact he chose this chose his real engagement is with identity politics, not religion. Arent you concerned about that . He is a really smart guy and
an outstanding chroniclerer of american politics. He is not right on this. I will tell you why. If you go to a trump rally he doesnt just talk about Merry Christmas. He also talks about the beheading of christians by isis and how he is going to wipe out ice skps how he also is the only candidate to my knowledge on record in my career as saying that if he becomes president he is going to repeal the Death Penalty for Christian Churches who have any kind of political engagement. You can be a 10 Million Church by budget you spend one dime educating and turning out voters and you lose your tax exempt status. We have two people to get to in one minute. What do you say do you believe that there is an issue with christians that is those who have innate distrust of political process that trump is moving around that they end up
staying home . There is always a danger of that. Make no mistake about it, he has work to do. If you look at the fox news poll these are the only two i have seen with a good evangelical cross tab. He is getting 68 of evangelical vote today. There is still wait and see. There are people kicking tires. What does evangelical do wrestling internally with the concept of living their life on faith and values and looking at president ial candidate who has managed to talk about excluding people of faith and values from entering this country . Well, i think that there is a diversity of views on that in our community. I think there are people who have said that they dont think anybody should be excluded based on their faith. That is certainly where i come down. There are many other people who
think and you saw this reflected in the exit polls. In every exit poll 65 , 70 of primary voters saying there is an issue in the muslim community. Not all muslims. But there are clearly people getting into our country who pose a threat and we need to do something about it. So it obviously resonated. Like a lot of things donald trump did in the primaries the smart set said it would back fire on him and it didnt. We will have to have you back as this plays out. Thank you very much for coming on.

That was from the 20th graduation of Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program. Joining us now is mark morial Whose Organization partnered with the program, president of babesen college and a Business Owner who took part in the program. I cant wait to hear about your business and how my lip gloss
looked on you or on me. The state of american businesses right now because you guys are taking a look at how they are doing in america in 2016. Its a tough just came out with a report called state of Small Business in america. Professor patty green did research for us. She found there are still large impediments keeping Small Businesses from creating jobs that they can create. We want them to be able to grow like karlas business yet they are still facing challenges around access to capital, regulation, skilled workers and how do we fix that . We were having a great conversation about that before we came in. One thing we need to do is make sure that the workers are out there who have the skills that can take the jobs that are being created by Small Business. Small business is creating 60 of new jobs in america. I dont think people understand
that but they have a horrible time trying to find people to fill the jobs. What was it about the program and people like karla that made you guys want to partner up . This program is well thought out. It is a partnership between Goldman Sacks and about 100 local partners and local governments and it works. It has gotten results. It has a 99 graduation rates. The businesses who have gone through the program have grown. Its about skills, joe, to help people navigate some challenges that this report has certainly identified. I think the lesson is lets focus much more on Small Business through initiatives like this. I also think for women, a program like this is important because they have a special challenge in terms of access to capital and skills in order to do that. Karla Walker Miller you are president and ceo of Walker Miller energy services. Talk about your life and your business before the program and after. Before the program i was absolutely marginalized by the lack of information, the lack of access and not just to capital but just to the deal flow. And the program is so valuable in making the state more equal. How has business changed . I have my revenues are more than 400 higher. Thats good. That can make a difference. Hired more than 30 new employees. And we were able to grasp a Major Contract from a local utility. It has been phenomenal. These are the examples of what is needed in order to sort of shift. Lots of examples like karla through this program in virtually every line of business, every sector of the economy. What did you find that was most surprising in your look at state of american business. The amount of time that
Business Owners like you have to spend on regulation. So average of four hours a week. If you add that up it is an entire month a year, 200 hours a year that small Business Owners are wasting on trying to understand it. 60 of the people who we talked to said we dont understand what was required of them by the government. With all the things that Small Businesses have to take care of, the idea that they have to deal with that much regulation is very hard. Thank you all. Congratulations.
