Pretty good. Im chuck todd in manchester, New Hampshire. Joining me for insight and analysis this special sunday morning are msnbcs chris mattws, nbcs Andrea Mitchell, Hallie Jackson of nbc ne, and radio talk show host hugh hewitt. Trump, sanders, clinton and the latest numbers. Welcome to sunday and a special edition of meet the press. From manchester, New Hampshire, this is a s scial edition of meet the press with chuck todd. Good sunday morning. Here we are right here in new hahpshire, the site of tuesdays primary. Were right here in nbnews fabulous New Hampshire headquarters, two days before what may be among the most important days in american politics this year. And last nights Republican Debate as our the Washington Post colleague put it, marco rubio hit a wall n ned Chris Christie. This notion that barack obama doesnt know what hes doing is there it is. There it is. The memorized 25second speech. And it only got worse from there for rubio. Well have much more on the debate later this morning. Joining us today are three candidates who are all counting on tuesday to help send them to the nomination and perhaps on to the white house. E. Republican donald trump, and the two ndidates vying for the democratic nod, bernie sanrs and Hillary Clinton. Before we get tohe interviews lets take a look at the very latest tracking polls out this cnn wmur has trump with a big lead still at 33 followed by rubio, cruz, kasich and bush in that order. Rubios momentum appears to have stopped. Thats beforthe debate is factored in this. For democrats this poll has sanders up big 58 over 35 though worth noting clinton has picked up seven pnts in the last few days. Tracking poll, they have trump with a big lead and order below kasich. Democratic side they have this race a bit closer, sanders with a lead 5740 slightly up from yesterdays poll. One thing to remember about New Hampshire, its the graveyard of pollsters. Well have my interview this morning with donald trump in just a few minutes. But were going to begin with the e mocrats and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton. You liked that graveyard of pollsters, havent you . Ive lived through this twice in 92 and 2008. Look, i know im behind. Im going to keep fighting until the very last vote is counted. Because i care about this primary. Why do you think you started with such a big deficit this time considering look, this has been a big state to both yourusband and yourself. Very important. Yeah. They always help you. Well, look, i cant sit here and analyze all the reasons. Obviously, o o is that the senator has been in public life next door for 25 years. I totally respect that. And i just think whats great about this primary is new mpshire voters take a first, second, third, fourth, fifth look. Yesterday as i was crisscrossing from one side of the state to the other talking to voters, i literally had pepele come up, say you changed my mind, who knows. This is whats so exciting about the primary, chuck. I came in in 2008 as i recall like 16 points behind. I remember the nht before the primary in 92, bills pollster saying, you know, youre in single digits. Its over. Who knows. I love this excitement. And im going to fight as hard as i can. But im having a great time whatever happens. I want to go to the debate a little bit because i would say the Foreign Policy section is one that you guys wantedo highlight because you felt as if he didnt do so well. You brought up secretary state Madeleine Albright to talk about it. Some of the things you said about senator obamas readiness on Foreign Policy, theyre very similar to what youve said about Bernie Sanders. In 08 you said i have a lifetime of experience i will bring to the white house. Lifetime of experience hell bring to the white house. Senator obama has a speech he gave in 2002, it sounds very similar to what you said when youre like, okay, you had one vote on the iraq war okay, you know what whats e difference between what you said about thensenator obama and what youre saying about senator sanders . Theres a very big difference. In 2008, senator obama had really done his homework in the senate. Hed been there by that time a few years. He had develop a network of advisors on National Security and Foreign Policy issues. They were very diligent and focused on making sure he was ready, that he had as broad a set of views as possible. And they really went toetotoe with all the people supporting me. Thats not happening in this campaign. There really isnt any kind of Foreign Policy network that is supporting and advising senator sanders. Ill let him speak for himself. This job requires you be ready on all aspects of it on the first day. And we know we got a particularly complex world right now. And the president s not going to have the time. Maybe previous preredents in past years could have a little more leeway because of, you know, the way the world functioned. But now its north korea with its missile tests, its russian aggression, its enforcing the iran agreement. You have to do it all at once. Do you think the iraq vote should still matter to voters . Look, i think voters are perfectly free to take into account anything they want to take, but i also hope theyll take the rest of the record. You know, i was involved in the biggest counterterrorism decision in the Obama Administration to determine whether or not to go after bin laden. I did put the sanctions on iran to get them to the negotiating table. I think that this is a debate that the voters really have to Pay Attention to because it is commander in chief. Do you believe if it wasnt for the iraq war we wouldnt have isis today . Well, i think thats a hard conclusion to draw because remember we had al qaeda before we had isis. Al qaeda attacked us in new york. Al qaeda attacked our embassies in africa the instability in iraq is what has created this and that if Saddam Hussein were still there we wouldnt have isis. Well, i think thats a lot of jumps in logic that to me doesnt really add up. The iraq war, theres no doubt contributed to instability. Im not goang to in any way deny that. But you cannot draw a direct line. What you can do is to say that Jihadist Terrorism starting with al qaeda. Right. And moving onto its latest incarnations, most particularly isis, is in response to a number of forces and factors that are roiling up the middle east. And certainly fifiting for what islam means and how its going to be presented and what people are going to mean when they talk about it. Bigger set of problems. All right. Another thing i wanted to followup on the debate. Senator sanders called the entire Business Model of wall street a fraud. We didnt get a chance to ask you to respond directly to that critique. Id like to ask you to respond to it now. Well, i think its the kind of extreme statement that once you really take a hard look at it, its hard to understand. You know, when you talk about wall street, are we talking about every bank . Or are we talking about a particular part of new york . Thats never really clarified. What i believe is that there are good actors and bad actors in every part of our economy. The job of the president is to weed out and prevent the bad actors from disrupting Economic Activity from amassing too much power and influence. But we live in a complex Global Economy where weve got to have a good Banking System that is economy. And it needs to be more than just looking at the five banks that are the big banks. We have to have a much more Robust Community Banking System, regional Banking System, other forms of credit access. And thats what i am advocating for. And i still do not understand why im having this problem getting senator sanders to join me in going after what are the potential problems that are out ththe, the shadow Banking Sector and the investment and hedge fund sector. Can you have a treasury secretary who isnt familiar with how wall street works . Ani say this because i think theres so much distrust right now. Yes. There is. There is. Six of the last treasuries either came from wall street or went to wall street after. I think there certainly right now isnt an appetite for somebody from wall street to be the next treasury secretary, and yet can you have a treasury secretary if they dont well, you have to have a treasury secretary who understands the economy, the American Economy and the Global Economy. I think there are a lot more places where one can and should look for such a treasury. Do you think you can pick one without having them have a wall street background . You know, i want somebody who can make a good commitment to work with me to get the economy moving, to get more good jobs created, to get incomes rising, to look out over the horizon at some of the economic problems that are out there. Weve got to figure out what were going to do with china. China is finally having to come to gps with the fact that a lot of its growth may not have been as on a Firm Foundation as we would hop so we need people in government who have that kind of commitment and understanding. But weve got to put the needs of the American Economy first. And thats going to be my commitment. Before i let you go i want to ask you about a comment former secretary of state Madeleine Albright said, a comment ive ard her say before. But it sort of rang differently a lot of people. She said, theres a special place in hell for women who dont help women. But the implication is that somehow if youre a democratic you, w wts wrong with you. Do you want the vote to be decided on gender lines like that . Oh, look, as you remember, madeleine hak been saying this for many, many years. Starbucks cups i think. I get that. She believes it fmly and in part because she knows what a struggle it has been. And she understands the struggle is not over. So i dont want people to be offended by what she is expressing as her very you can understananwhy some mighghhave been offended by it . Well, g od grief, were getting offended about everything these days. Honest to goodness, i mean, people cant say anything without offendinsomebody. She has a Life Experience that i respect. I admire her greatly. And i think what she was trying to do, w wch shes done in every setting ive ever seen her in going back 20plus years, was remind young women particularly that this struggle which many of us have been part of is not and dont be in any way lulled by the progress weve made. And i think it was a light hearted but very pointed remark, which people can take however they choose. All right. What do you got in the super bowl . I dont have anybody right now. You dont have anybody . Im going to flint, michigan, im worrying about the kids in flint, michigan, to make sure we can do what we can to make se they are not damaged by this youre going today, you could have gone yesterday. I love New Hampshire. The mayor asked me to come. Get it done. Im very hopeful to Congress Bipartisan way will l me up with some funding to deal with these community. And im going to keep doing everything i can help them. Secretary clinton, i ow you have a plane to catch. Thanks. Great to talk to you. Last nighti spoke with senator Bernie Sanders from new york where he was preparing to appear on saturday night live. Here it is. I want to start with some first the debate on wall street. You got some good reviews. But on Foreign Policy, i want to put up some headlines here, sir. Not so good boston globe, sanders flunks on Foreign Policy, the Washington Post, Bernie Sanders trips up on Foreign Policy during debate. How do you respond to that . Well, you know, time after time when we have had these bates, the pundits keep thinking that Hillary Clinton wins the debates, but somehow the people do not. And we did very well in iowa. I think were doing well in New Hampshire. And i think were doing well nationally. Look, theres no question that Hillary Clinton has a great deal of experience regarding Foreign Policy. She was our secretary of state for four years. That g ges her a lot of experience. But it is not just experience that matters. It is judgment. Terms of what we should do with isis right now, that we should learn the lesson of the iraq war, which i vigorously opposed, which means that we cannot, chuck, do it alone. I will do everything that i can to make sure that our young men and women in the military do not get sucked into a perpetual warfare in the quagmire of the middle east. But the concern i think is not about your policy on isis. Let me play for you something secretary of state Madeleine Albright said on saturday. Take a listen. Ive been very concerned about his lack of knowledge. Most people know how many dictators north korea has. I have spent an awful lot of time on the hill in a variety of ways. Ive gone up and down briefings and all kinds of things. Unless he looked totally different at the time, he has never been to any briefing let me stipulate, Madeleine Albright is a supporter of Hillary Clinton and she was Clinton Campaign to talk about this. My concern is ababt the level of interest you have on Foreign Policy. Chuck, chuck, it goes without saying, number one, i have been to briefing after briefing aer briefing. You know, in fact,ust a couple of weeks ago when i visited with the president , one of the things that we talked about was iran and Foreign Policy. It is obviously an enonoously important part of what being the president is about. Now, i dont really know this, maybe the answer is different, tell me what Madeleine Albrights position was on the war in iraq . Right. I dont know. I dont know. I wouldnt be surprised if she supported it. You know, the issue here is not just experience. The issue is judgment. War, which history will record. I led the opposition against the war in iraq, which history will also record as being the right thing. Clearly, clearly Foreign Policy is enormously important. And i will tell you this also, chuck, if you go back to 2008, this is exactly what the clinton people we doing to senator barack obama. They were attacking him he didnt have the experience, et cetera, et cetera. I am absolutely confident that if elected president we will have a very strong Foreign Policy for the American People. I think to alleviate some of these concerns if you told how about i knkn you didnt tell me the other night when i asked you about who your Foreign Policy advisors are. Give me a few names of people you would end up consideri as a secretary of state or secretary of defense. I think its a little bit premature to talk about who your secretary of defense is going to be. I will tell you that we have met recently with people like larry reagan administration,n,alked to people like jim zagby, talked to the people on j street to get a Broad Perspective of the middle east. Ive been meeting with a whole lot of people. But let me reassure the american ople, despite wahat they are hearing from Madeleine Albright, that it goes without saying that a president must be well vsed in Foreign Policy, must have a strong Foreign Policy position. And i will, of course, do that. Let me move onto Something Else you said from the debate. It was a tough charge. You said and you yourself said this was going to be a tough charge when you said it. The Business Model of wall street is fraud. Boy, that was a broad brus and i was thinking about the fact that theres a lot of Union Pension funds that are invested in wall street, 30 in many of them when you look. I was looking up some of these things. A lot of 401 k s, a lot of investments in wall street. It seems to me, if you believe its afraid, would you not like to see money invested in something based on a fraud. Look, chuck, what i said i believed to be true. A few weeks ago, as you know, a Goldman Sachs reached a settlement with the United States government fo 5 billion. 5 billion. Why . And the answer is obviously they were defrauding investors in terms of selling subprime mortgage packages that were worthless. Now, thats my definition of fraud. And other major banks also have received paid huge settlement fines to the federal government. And what really burns the American People up is after paying 5 billion in a settlement agreement, none of these people, none of the executives on wall street get kid gets caught with some marijuana, gets a Police Record. Fraudulent activity on wall street destroys the economy, no Police Record for any executive. So do i believe that the Business Model of wall street is flawed . I think the answer obviously of course it is. Very quickly, super bowl maybe the broncos. Thats who youre rooting for . Or thats whou thihi will win . Im rooting for new england patriots, but im afraid thats not going to happen. Well be back in a moment with the republican race and my sitdown a few minutes ago with donald trump. And as we go to break, were going to give you some memorable moments from New Hampshire. Heres one. Ronald reagan showing the world what a formidable candidate he would become.

Were broadcasting from the nbc news headquarters here in New Hampshire. An unbelievable setting we have here. And just about anybody who is in politics, reports on politics or just cares about politics has decided to spend the last days before the primary just outside our doors. It was easy to grab four of the our panel this morning. My buddy Chris Matthews who of course is host of hardball, been here for many New Hampshire primaries. Our chief Foreign Affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell who isovering the Hillary Clinton campaign. Hallie jackson also with nbc covering the cruz campaign, and radio talk show host hugh hewitt, host of the hugh hewitt show. Lets focus on last nights Republican Debate. Wow. Marco rubio, look at these headlines, new york times, op rivals jab at rubio to try to slow his rise, the Washington Post, rubio endures an assault in a rollocing gop debate. I wish i could hold it up, the one i dont have, choke, with rubio. Hugh. Donald trump did not lose saturday night, i think john kasich pole vaulted over marco rubio into second place by being very New Hampshire, but im a contrary on rubio, he won all of that debate except thosehree minutes. Had a terrific second half. And i ththk hell get the bronze come tuesday night. Wow. Chris. Well, thats good except the only problem you have is the sideotape. And it exists. The three minutes. Allight. Well, let me pause. Look at this thing. It is rough. Take a listen. And lets just start once and for all with this fiction that barack obama doesnt know what hes doing. He knows exactly what hes doing. Lets dispel this fiction of that barack obama doesnt know what hes doing. He knows exactly what hes doing. Th notion that barack obama doesnt know what hes doing is just not true. There it is. There it is. The memorized 25second speech. We are not facing a president that doesnt kw what hes doing. He knows what hes doing. Anyone who believes that barack obama isnt doing what hes doing on purpose doesnt understand what were dial uealing with here. Thats e numerable times. Reminded me of the Science Fiction film blade runner where someone in this case Chris Christie proved out there was a replica instead of not a human being. It was strange because he was statements which are like implanted memory tracks. They were not a human response. And i think hes got the answer for it and i think it was so strange i have no idea why he did it. Every candidate has lines they repeat. Wewee all been doing a million s. T. E. M. Speeches. His problem was when he got up on the attack when they were doing it against him. Four times, same line. Listen, this morning people in marco roboto costumes showe up. Campaign would point out some 500 people showed up 45 minutes before the door opened. Theyre fiercely trying to spin this into a positive. Sur bowl tonight, history. To repeat over and over again your oneliners in front of your rivals who are already pouncing, who are already calling him the boy in the bubble and diminishing him, trying to diminish him, it really hits him right at his most vulnerable point. Plexing, christie telegraphed this for three days. This was obvious this was comingg and this is how they prepare because hes running a general Election Campaign before he secured the nomination. Ill tell you what amused me last nigh every democrat out there is eager to bury marco rubi because they are afraid of marco rubio. They are desperately afraid of him. Therefore i think what we got is a South Carolina brouhaha that will follow this mix up. And it will go to the convention. Its going to be an open convention because rubios not going away. One question, was there logic to doing it four times in a row . Yes. Because hes talking to me. Hes talking to republicans about barack obama he is going to run that general Election Campaign. Barack obama knew what he was doing to this country. The democrats hate that you mean if he could do it over again he would repeat the same lines four times in a row . No. What does it mean . He fold back on christie a second time his staff had ained him and he had learned to be disciplined. But seeing staff trained is not what these candidates need to show on that stage, hugh. They need to show that they have a functioning brain. This is a very smart man. You know who were not talking about . Were not talking about donald trump or ted cruz. Let me play a quick little jeb bush had one of his best moments with donald trump on the issue of eminent domain. What donald trump did was use cminent domain to try to take the property of an elderly woman on the strip in atlantic city. That is downright wrong. Wants to be a tough guy. A lot of times youll have and it doesnt work very well. How tough is it to take property from an elderly woman . Let me talk. Quiet. Thats all of his donors and special interests out there. It was a fascinating moment because i think the issue is bad his retort there was probably good for here. And the physicic, the body language, you know, shh, i mean, he wasaso patronizing. Verer it was a different jeb. That wasnt the jeb of three months ago bho melted in that moment. His mom is out here telling hihe needs to interrupt more and be less polite and thats what youre seeing. For trump, he doesnt like to be booed. He got booed four times within about two minutes within that exchanan. I asked him do you think you came off as a bully and he even said last night, well, bush tries to be tough, but hes not a tough guy. But governor bush had his best night. I want to put the republican spin on this because its true. Republicans hate eminent domain. They hate it. Yes. Its abused him enough. That was a bullying moment. Everybody saw a bully there. You have to decide is the bully on your side. And if the bullys onour side, if hes in a fox hole next to you facing the bad guys, you dont mind it. I thought last night it didnt look that way. He was taking downn a guy whos not a scary guy. I thought he didnt look good. Im going to have a little bit. I spoke with jeb earlier. Well have some jeb stuff later. Well be back after the break with a man who probably needs a New Hampshire win more than anybody else. I sit down with donald trump. Anybody else. I sit down with donald trump.

If we all do that we can all win. Prudential bring your challenges welcome back. Night as ron burgundy might have said, that escalated quickly. My nex guest, donald trump, he wants to rebound from the iowa loss and take New Hampshire to hang onto his frontrunner status. And mr. Trump joins me now. Welcome back to meet the press, sir. Who is coming in second and maybe a first you tell me. Lele me asksk you this, how much do you need a New Hampshire win . I dont think i need it, i hope that i get it. Im doing well. I have a Good Relationship with the people of new hashire. Ive been here long before politics had many friends. I live up here. Incredible area, beautiful area. I would say that i would like to win, but i dont know that its necessary. When you say, you know, the iowa i came in second out of originally 17 people, there are those that say i actually came in first depending on how you want to count the votes to be honest because that was a horrible thing that took place. But i was very proud of iowa and ive ner done it before. Do you not accept the iowa results . Do you think theyre legitimate . I think it was very unfair to ben. Unfair to me. Affected me the same way it affected ben because a lot of votes were added on. A tremendous number of votes were added on. I was a strtrg second, but im not thinking about iowa. M thinking about New Hampshire. I dont care about it anymore. I cant help bpt notice that youre a little humble by what happened in iowa, is that fair to say . Well, i dont think in terms of it. You know, i worked hard there6 i really liked iowa. I like the people of iowa. The caucus system is a very complex system and a lot of thing ks go off with a caucus system. I like this system much better in New Hampshire where you go out, you like somebody, you vote. And you can have a ground game and all, but the ground game in iowa is very important whereas the ground game here is different. Are you looking at your campaign and saying, you know what, maybe i need to do some more traditional things in addition to the nontraditional stufthats been successful. That is true. And i think youll see it here. very important was that we get through the debate. I didnt want to have a bad debate or even a modest debate. And i think we did very well in some of your iowa staff has saididboy, we could have used more resources here, more there, are they right . No, theyre totally wrong. I gave them unlimited money. I said do what you have to do. I gave them unlimited money. Hey, look, im 50 million under budget. I thought by this time id have 40 million to 50 million spent and ive spent very little because i havent had to because people like you put me on all the time. What do i take aommercial for . There you go. I thought id be up to about 45 or 50 million. And, you know, im not. I look at somebody like jeb bush where hes spent over 100 million and hes nowhere and i say how does that happen . I want to talk about last nights debate. You said there is a lot of eyebrows about waterboarding. I would bring back waterboarding and i would bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding. Okay. Whats the worse . Well, you didnt see what i said before that. What i said before that is in the middle east you have people chopping other other peoples heads. Medieval times. Theres never been anything like this. And i talked about that. I understand. And said, by the way, waterboarding is peanuts compared to what were talking about happening there. So i said i would absolutely approve waterboarding and i would go a lot further. What does that mean . Im not going to define it to you on this prograra but i would be very much in favor of going beyond waterboarding. Believe , in terms of getting information, it works. Dont you worry though, look, were the United States, we set an example. Were supposed to be better than that. As much as were looking at the medieval sure. We dont do those things. Medieval times. They want to be barbaric, were not. They can do it, but we cant. When they flew planes into the World Trade Center killed thousands of people and many other things that is happening around the world, paris or here, you can do waterboarding and you could go a step beyond waterboarding, it wouldnt bother me a little bit. Another part of the debate had to do with health care. It is unclear to me though, you want more government you want some sort of government system on health care. Yeah. You dont like the system thats in there now. That i understand. The single payer describe the system you want. Let me explain. Okay. First of all, what i do, i have a massive company, i have thousands and thousands of employees. And i have in many different states. You have artificial lines around each state. You know why . Because the Insurance Company taking care of the politicians so they dont want to get rid of the lines. If you get rid of those lines you would have great private insurance and it would take care of most people it would be an unbelievable thing. In addition to that you can have a savings youou know, you can do the savings situation where you would have Health Care Savings accounts and it would be fantastic. Theres to many thihgs you could do. The problem is the Insurance Companies dont want to do these things and they dont want to specifically get rid of the lines because theyd rather have a monopoly in new york, as an example, then let 50 Companies Come in and bid. Companies from iowa, companies from new hampshshe. But youre going to have to structure a Government Program to do thisis no. Youre going to have a great system, but there will be people left that dont have any money. And what i said last night is i dont tant people dying in the middle of the street. Its not going to happen if im president. Okay. This isnt single payer. This is using their hospitals to take care of people, you work them out, you reimburse the hospital because we will get extend medicaid . You can do it through medicaid. You can do it through some other way, but im just saying very simple and this has nothing totoo with single. This has to do with humanity. This has to do with having a heart. We can have unbelievable insurance at a much lower cost. I dont know if you know obamacare is going up 35, 45, 55 , the premiums are through the roof, in 17 it collapses. Youre going to have people youre going to have great plans, but youre going to have people that wont be able to afford even 10 nts. We cannot let them die on the streets, chuck. And were going to take care of them. Whether its medicaid, or youre going toork out some kind of a deal with hospitals to take care of these people. Arent going to be dying in the streets. Tre was a tough piece this week in the Washington Post implying that your campaign and you individually are tougher on women correspondents, women anchors, w wen reporters than men. It was in the post. Trumps penchant for insulting people and organizations that displease him is well known, less remarked upon however has been the special contempt that trump pours out for the women who chronicle his campaign. O think ive been tougher on you than any human being on earth in terms of reporter. I think my wife believes that too. Im tougher on you than anybody. Ive heard these whispers before. Theres a perception out there. How w you get rid of the perception . Perhaps its the megyn kelly situation. Look, she gave me a really phony questi. It was a setup question. It wasnt even a question. It was a statement. It was inappropriate. And i hit her hard. I think thats fine. But if you gave me that question, id hit you the same way. You are the perfect one you from me for a long time. And you are far from a woman. Well, that is a fact. Thanks. I never even heard this. I havent seen the report. I havent seen it. I get so much publicity i dont get to Read Everything unfortunately. But this was in the Washington Post . Look, i think there are some women theres o sitting right over there in the beautiful red dress, do you see that woman over there . I have Great Respect for that woman. I dont know if she knows that im talking about her. Im talking about you. I would never do that to you. I believe hes referring to Andrea Mitchell. Im referring to andrea. I want to ask about one final thing here and in 1999 when you talked about running for president , you hted that it may be easier to pledge being a oneterm president because youd take the politics out of the second term. Do you still feel that way . Well, i think there are rtain advantages but if youre doing a great job ive seen people do that and want to go and they never win. Because they said one term and its a real negative. I dont want to say that but there are certain advantages to it. But if were doing great and if the people le me, if i was lucky enough to win. You know, m whole thing is make America Great again. Were going to make America Great again. Make our military strong, take care of our vets, well have strong borders, we will have the wall. So many different things, health care, get rid of obamacare, great plans for much less money. Were going to make America Great again. I will tell you if were doing a great job, well keep going. And if were not, you know, we have automatic termination. Its called the voters will terminate. But that wont happen. So youre not doing a oneterm pledge . No, im not going to do a eterm pledge. If im doing a good job ill keep going. Donald trump, leave it there. See you in South Carolina. Thank you very much. When we come back, at do the iowa results tell us about what may happen in New Hampshire . Well, itss lot, but it may be not what you think. I think we know enough to say with some certainty that new clinton the comeback kid. [ cheers and applause ]the futureelongs to the fast. And to help you accelerate, weve created a new company.

Go antiviral with tamiflu. Jake reese, day to feel alive jake reese, day to feel alive a lot of us have been studying what past results in iowa mean for the New Hampshire primary. It turns out each of the three leading republican candidates out of iowa have history on their side. It just depends on which history you u choose. So if youre ted cruz, you want to be john kry in 2004. That year kerry trailed howard dean everywhere, including in the New Hampshire poll. Kerry n, dean finished third followed by the dean scream, a kerry surge. Kerry wound up winning big in New Hampshire. Dean was soon out of the race. This is what you want if youre ted cruz. Turn your big iowa win into New Hampshire gold. Up next, the marco rubio and gary heart scenario. In 84 hart trailed Walter Mondale badly. Gary hart still exceeded, quote, expectations, and became the Big National Story line. Sound familiar, senator rubio . Well, it worked. Hart went onto a big victory in New Hampshire the following week and became the chief competitor to mondale for the rest of the season. Finally, we ha donald trump chlts he. He wants to be the george h. W. Bush in history. 1988 bush was ahead up over bop bobole by ten points. Like bush on monday he had a disappointing showing in iowa. There was a lot of Bush Campaign hand wringing with bush slipping in the poll. What happened in New Hampshire . He hung on in the end quite nicely. He won New Hampshire and onto winning thentire republican nomination and of coursese the presidency tself. So three frontrunners each have some version of history on their side, but which version will play out tuesday night . Who knows at this point. I smell a jumble coming. Anyway, coming up, with larry david hosting and Bernie Sanders running, how could saturday night live resist . They didnt. Enough is enough. We need to unite and work wogether if were all going to get through this. Sounds like socialism to me. Y you read headlines about businesses being hacked and intellectual property being stolen.

The only Medicare Supplement plans that carry the aarp name, and the ones thamillions of people trust year after year. Always have a plan. Plan well. Enjoy life. Welcome back lets bring back the panel. Were going to talk about the democratic race. To set it up lets put a little composition together of the really harsh attacks that theyve been exchanging. Here it is. Being part of the establishment is is in the last quarter having a super pac that raised 15 million from wall street. I think its timeo end the very artful smear that you and your campaign have been carrying out. I have been criticized for saying that i believe all of our people are entitled to health care. Yes, i plead guilty. If you loooo at a lot of what senator sanders is proposing, the numbers just dont add up. What leadership is about is not just swimming with the current. This is an effort by the Sanders Campaign to basically street street, if you take ito the national conclusion from anybody, is bought and paid for. Toiptwant to start this conversation on a larger topic we were talking about off camera yesterday. Whats fascinating about this democratic race is its the first one in my lifetime that has been a race to the left. We havent seen that in a long time. It used to be the democratic president ial primary was about the most electable liberal who could hug the middle. And thats still the Campaign Clinton wanted to run, but thats not the one she has to now. Its very hard for her to fight him because this elastic use of the term progressive. Progressive covered teddy roosevelt, a moderate, you know, activist republican, and then in 48 carried kind of a very hard left evev prosoviet Henry Wallace breaking with truman saying the cold war was our fault. I dont think he means that. But he can come out and get the farthest left voter, just like voter, and hug that rail. Now, hillary would surprise me as why she wants to go chasing after him. Why d dsnt she draw the line, why didnt she do it three months ago, im not a socialist, i dont hate socialists but im not one. Heres why, fundamentally i do believe in the free enterprise. Thats how our systems work, because of thatt freedom i dont want the government to try to run everything. But andrea, the party has moved. The party has moved. This reminds me of 1919 and shes lost the base and the women. Thats whats stunning here in New Hampshire. They are really they cant figure out how to combatthat. So to try to attract young women whom she lost by such extraordinary numbers in iowa and in the polling so far here, shes going to Women Centers who by definition are part of the establishment and theres no female marco rubio. You have to be an oldld woman to become a senator because the deck is so stacked against you. Thats just the reality. Youve got Madeleine Albright who validates her Foreign Policy credentials and criticized his. But these people and the frustration of Madeleine Albright and of Hillary Clinton is why dont these young women realize what we went through and how we havent won the battle yet. And how, oh, this can be taken back. And why arent they reacting to 18 million cracks in the Glass Ceiling . Hallie, you havent seen it on the trail . No. Whats interesting to mehen you talk about Bernie Sanders he has among a different kind of electote. I spoke with a woman yesterday shes been a registered republican in New Hampshire for 15 years. She is going to primary for jeb bush and then switch her registration so she can vote for Bernie Sanders. Shes out there working and volunteering to rally people around sanders because of sort of what hes tapping into that speaks to something a little more broad than just the Typical Party lili. Both parties are racing to their bases. I love what andrea just said. Theyre going 1972, im all for but,hugh, the republicans are going 64. We have the ability to come back quickly. I must say i was stunned by your interview with senator sanders. I think it makes him not viable as a candidate to be that hard left on Foreign Policy. I did note that donald trump finished the debate by bringing up mrs. Clintons server last night. So you have a terribly electable candidates wants to go full against a candidate who has flaws on record and honesty issue. Keep going to 72. I have to say everybody is going to get brutalized. The two nominees are going to be pretty battered and bruised. The young woman yesterday in concord came at hillary i worked for you in 2008 but troubled by benghazi and the server, shes getting blowback from the very people she needs. All right. Take a quick pausehere. Back with our end game segment. I want to show you something jeb bush told me this morning about last you can collect rainwater to shower with, but there are easier ways to go green. Like taking shorter showers, which conserves water and lowers your bill. Youll sing long ballads in the rain and short ditties in the shower. The more you know wtd you make of senator rubio last night . Its scripted, you know, message discipline is portant. And i envy candidates who can repeat the same thing over and over again. My brother was good at that. But to be so scripted that you cant have the agility to show, you know, the leadership skills the United States i think is became clear last night. Yes, jeb bush comparing marco rubio to his brother, i guess. Reflecting on last nights debate a little earlier. Im goin to have a full length interview on that youll see tomorrow morning. We have special coveraga on msnbc as everybody knows. Tomorrows panel is here, end game time. Hugh, right next ive alwayaybelieved in open convention. I hope i get to go down to South Carolina becse ws coming out to fight for his brother. Marco rubios got to get off of the floor because of this perceived loss last night and it will be a fantastic. Let me paint a scenario, trump at 28 , say 28, 29, and then all of a sudden, kasich, bush, rubio, cruz, 17, 16, 15, 14, nobody gets out . As iowa passion drives you to go to the caucuses, you have to get involved. Here you vote as a civic duty. People are going to go out and vote. When they see rubio having a problem the other night, they ve somebody else its going to be kasich. He sits there as an option. I think kasich is going to do incredibly well because of civic duty. Theyre regular voters. I thought he had by the way kasich had his best debate hes ever had and hes not been great at thehe debates. Question about his organization and where he moves from here and his campaign feels like they can do something in thats a long time away. Andrea, South Carolinas going to be we thought South Carolinas going to make 2000 look like patacake. Thats what i think. First of all, you have Bernie Sanders now trying to compete for the africanamerican vote. And hes beginning to develop an organization. But you have the veterans, the military the republican side this is going to be a battle. Republican side, donald trump is playing to the veterans and the military. Im not sure kasich can do that. I want a trumpkasich ticket. Thats what i want to see. That has gotten lost that i think may feed into a perception that we dont cover these things the same. The iowa results, three of the top four candidates on the republican side were two his hispanics and an africanamerican. You know, historic night for the republican party. Theyre not regenerating a party that is old lifefes very important. Another thing that got missed s little bit last night. Mary kathrine ham who lost her husband in august and delivered their second child in november did a terrific job last night. She did. I want to take my hat off to her. Shes inspiring. Absolutely. Good debate. It was a good debate. Lets leave here on a lighter note. Ififou were watching saturday night live last night, you would be exucused as we were to two Bernie Sanders on stage. We were talking to sanders live intudio 8h live with larry i am so sick over the 1 getting this preferential treatment. [ applause ] enough is enough. We need to unite and Work Together if were all going to get through this. Sounds like socialism to me. Democratic socialism. Whats the difference . Huge difference. Huge. Huge. That was one more punch line there, andrea, he talked about they land on ellis island and he says, you know, my name is Bernie Sanders witski, drop the witski, sounds less jewish. Its funny we can laugh about that, but the other thing that could be history making and theyre talking about it is the first jewish prprident. No, hes going to be the first jewish candidate on the democratic side to win delegates here in New Hampshire. Theres been history all over the place. First, rst, first. And ive been surprised all over the coverage. We did it right here. Talk like this or think like i know, i know. Our kids dont get it. Thats it for today. Well be back next week because if its sunday, its meet the press. Ess. Good morning good morning, hello, my name is patricia rodriguez. Good morning governor, counsel, and jim allen. Good morning everyone. I think its still the most important thing we can do for any family in this state is to create an opportunity for them to get a job. Im a single mother of three. Ve been working for the seminole tribe for fifteen years now. This company has giveveme the opportunity to provide for my children. How does it make you fe when you worry about if the compact isnt signed, then it does`affect me tremendously because i would be out of a job. A month ago my sister passed away. She have children . How many . Five. So are you taking care of them . Yes. Is compact not being signed would affect me and many people that have grown with me at this company. If would affect them immensely.
