Just off the beach. Youre welcome. Im from rossland dale massachusetts. I am the locker room guy. Take a good look, america. Im the locker room guy. I deflated those balls myself. I did it. Tom brady had nothing to do with this because he was too busy being awesome. If you dont want to believe me, theres nothing i can do to change your mind. Im turning myself . I took a little bit of air out of most of them 11 out of 12 of them. Who are you going to believe, tom brady, the greatest man of all of humanity or a bunch of twooet [ bleep ] on twitter. I acted alone. Do you know why you acted alone . Because nobody wants to act with you, because you suck . Matt damon. I think that was matt damon. I think it was. I think it was ben affleck. Good morning. Its january 30th. Today withes onset the danny deutsche. And the managing editor of bloomberg politics. You have a tie on today. Donny was informed not to have a tie on. I cant afford to have a tie on. A good governor. Is also here. He has a tie. Look at that. And the chairman of the Democratic National committee. He eats nothing but free bagels therefore he has enough money for a tie. You have this thing going on. Is there what happens when you go you know what is this . Explain. I over the holidays i just stopped shaving. Okay. Thats all you got in a month . No then its this then it got unruly and it was like, well, if youre going to keep that thing, trim it. So i sort of like you know. If youre going to have a beard, grow a beard. If youre not, dont. She basically said man up. Man up. Talking of manning up. Washington daily, matt lewis is with us without a beard. Associate editor with the Washington Post. And the mustache. No tie. Pure stache genes. Joe, mika and willie are in phoenix getting ready for the big game. Tonight will be the first ever prime time edition of morning joe. Love that idea. Live from the side of the super bowl in phoenix. They will be joined by renowned Sports Reporters, former players, and will feature an interview with katy perry who will be headlining the halftime show. My daughter is excited about that. Dont miss the special morning joe at night tonight at 8 00 p. M. Eastern. Thats going to be great. Prime time. Barnicle is going to be there, too. I dont know why his picture is not there. Theyre trying to get viewers. Really . Its called marketing. Thats why im advertise for barnicle. Barnicle will be there and he knows his sports. Super bowl weekend is here as phoenix prepares to host the nations biggest sporting event of the year. The city expects more than a Million People over the weekend and the feds will play a major role in security. Theres been a blackhawk helicopter and giant xray machine pulled from the border to help guard this game. Something else being closely guarded, yeah, of course the super bowl footballs, especially after deflategate. The nfl says it will quote, take custody of the footballs today. Not children. Footballs. And will hand them over to officials two hours before kickoff. Were reviewing our protocol in terms of chain of custody. The officials do have the footballs up until about ten minutes prior to kickoff. And then theyre brought out to the field. So were reviewing that protocol. So a lot of reassuring words there about the footballs in case you were worried. Donny had this problem once recently when he went into custody of this balls. Learning more about katy perry perrys halftime show. Lenny kravitz will be a guest and Missy Elliott will be the surprise guest. It was clear shes been following the news herself in the runup to this big game. I dont think im so much of an expert on the game of football but i think i can assure everyone in here that nothing in my performance will be deflated. Youre a single girl, is there somebody you have your eye on this weekend . Im just here so i dont get fined. That was a close perry quoting seahawks running back marshawn inch will andlynch. Hes kind of a jerk, to tell you the truth. Your salary gets paid by fans. Hes just a jerk. Does sound like he was a little bit dissing the friends fans. A little . The media. Media day. You pay so much money, turn up and do a press conference. He took questions from the press conference. Ask me why im here today. Why are you here today . Im just here so i dont get fined. Im just here so i dont get fined. It was a joke. I got it. Seriously. He said it 29 times. I just i just hes just a jerk. Have you seen him play . Hes a good player. Lets hear he broke his silence to slam reporters for not leaving him alone. Im here prepare for a game and yall want to ask me all of these questions, which is understandable. I could get down with that. But i told yall, im not about to say nothing. So for the remainder of my whats that three minutes, because im here, im available for yall, im here. Im available for yall, i done talked. All of my requirements are fulfilled. So now for this next three minutes ill be looking at yall the way yall be looking at me. Thank you. I just think thats disrespectful to the media and, by the way, for a guy who doesnt want attention by doing what hes doing he gets tons of attention. And he added, did you notice the cap which is not officially a licensed nfl product. Its still unclear whether the league will now discipline him for that too. I hope youve been watching all of this. He has a great charity, a foundation that he can i like sports and i really dont like the hoopla and the leadup to it. I dont like any of it until the kickoff. Are you watching the game . Of course. Is it true the fine for not showing up for media day is 500,000 500,000 . I think they make him show up. I dont think its that much. Well look it up. Will he get fined for the hat, too . Oh, yeah. 20,000, 25,000, Something Like that. He has a great charity. Marshawn lynch does foundation. Use that time to talk about your foundation, drum up more support like he did for the skittles press conference he gachl gave that was goofy and funny and they put it in front of the walking repeat of skittles but he made a lot of cash for his foundation. Quickly, picks, picks, picks. I got to go with the seahawks. Hawks. Seahawks. I hate the patriots but i think its patriots. Seahawks. Okay. Whoa. You heard it first. Lets give get the washington pick. Seahawks i think seahawks. Matt . Go with the cheaters im going with the patriots. With fully inflated balls, presumably. You know anybody who is mad at Marshawn Lynch, by the way, should try to tackle him, okay . Thats not an easy thing to do. We can take him out physically, that doesnt mean he has an excuse to not answer questions. Politics. Lindsey graham has said dont count him out in the run to 2016. Now hes showing that hes more serious than many people have thought. Hes forming a committee called security through strength that could inject Foreign Policy into a race thats shaping up to be predominantly about the middle class and the economy. Hes also been ahead of the curve with strategists in his home state of South Carolina where the third early primary of the cycle will of course take place. Meanwhile, in the water start up for the potential run, jeb bush grabbed a romney Senior Adviser who could help him make gains in iowa. If bush goes all in david kochel will reportedly serve as his campaign manager. Most recently he consulted for senator joni ernst of iowa. And the Associated Press reports some former romney donors are starting to lineup behind jeb as well, thats got to hurt saying things they liked about romney they see in jeb and that they took romney at his word when he said he would not run again. Romney himself is expected to hold a Conference Call with backers today. Then theres senator rand paul who is taking an aggressive a poach to social media mocking would be competitors in names like this one. Yesterday he released what he calls a secret tape of a, quote, phone call between jeb and hillary. Well, its true. Im thinking about run for president. Well, jeb, so am i. I just wanted to call and give you a heads up in hopes we could work something out. What do you mean jeb, its clearly my turn. Bush clinton, bush. Now clinton. Well, hillary, there hasnt been a Republican White House without a bush since 1977 and were ready to be back. Let me shoot straight with you, jeb. Bill and i are dead broke. We need a place to stay. 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is calling me home. Maybe we can work something out. We both agree on so many issues. Bigger government, common core and amnesty for Illegal Immigrants. Well, weve both got problems. Youve got problems with grass roots and ive got all of those damn conservatives. Whats say we make a deal. Sorry, hillary, i have to go. Mitt keeps calling. Matt lewis grinning away there in washington. Okay. I thought the hillary impersonation obviously much better than the jeb. Yeah. They got to find a good jeb, you know . I dont know how you do him. Its easier to do bush in this. Jeb is tougher to do. I think its funny. You know who knows how long at some point we have to talk you know, rand has to have sub substance substance. I thought it was clever at this point in the race. It does illustrate a point about jeb bush being cozy the bushes getting cozy with the clintons. And frankly, on some issues like common core and immigration reform not being terribly far apart. John, obviously in 30 years weve only had one race that hasnt had a bush or clinton. Clearly Hillary Clinton weve seen her for many years. Jeb bush has the familiar name yet he himself has been absent from public eye for ten years. Is there a distinction . Yeah. The biggest distinction is that he is someone who has been out of public life for a long time. To the extent he was in public life, florida, not a National Figure. Shes been an omnipresent National Figure in our political life since 1992 or before 1992. The peoples sense of her is fully formed. Generally in the country. And then theres the fact in the two parties, very different situation. She is now she widely favored by Many Democrats enthusiastic about her. She will have some problems. We talked about them various issues she has to overcome. Shes got a glide path to being the nominee. Hes got a fierce hotly contested, m situation. Theyre in different situations and different situations in how well the country knows help. Donny, youre a brand guy. If jeb gets the nomination and its bush clinton does he then negate all the questions that might be surrounding her about go hawking back to the past if. No i think theres a tremendous distinction. Hillary and i have said this often and i like hillary, i just think theres such a fatigue there. The problem she also has is whenever she comes out of the gate its post carnation. The media is ready to pounce. Its been too easy for you. Jeb, when you come on we lean in. We havent seen him. I want to hear what he has to say. Even though the names are familiar i think she much much much more in a position of being the one ho seems tired and totally opposite side. Of course you do. Well, i take it not just for political reasons but also because the analysis is my analysis is this and this is why i supported her early. I think the country is really worried. Nothing has been done in washington that is essentially a capital, a failed entity. And i think people are going to want somebody who is steady and predictable and who they know and that is only Hillary Clinton. I also think ill milwaukee my first prediction, electoral prediction of this season. I dont think the jeb bush wins iowa. If he ones he will get the nomination but hes going to get beat up a lot in the Republican Party. The big question is what is the message of a Hillary Clinton and i think that is yet to be defined. Let me ask you, gene it seems as if the run for the white house is like getting in greek life on american campuses. Youre a legacy pledge. Youre a legacy pledge its going to be a lot easier for you. Weve got a bush, a clinton. We can throw rand paul into the mix because of his dad. Mitt romneys father was in politics. Why cant we get some fresh names in the batch that are legitimate that have a good chance to do something for this country from the white house . You know thats a very good question. I get asked that question a lot. Travel to give a speech or Something Like that and people you know just regular americans just ask why dont we get a why all bushes and all clintons and nobody else. And romney back in. So its a very good question. Im not sure i have an answer. I do have a question for donny, which is just on a pure brand level like coke versus pepsi, just the name and the association, which is more toxic, do you think . Whose name hurts him or her more clinton or bush . I think if you just thats a great question. If you just take the name just as words, if you will i think bush right now because were still eight years away from w. We know kind of how that ended. The name itself. But then you put the visual on and we have a visual medium. You look at television and you lean in, when you see those two faces, hillary, i just think its been too many years. I want to change the channel. Jeb, hey, wait a second this jeb guy i heard about him kind of heard good things about him. Havent seen him. Havent listened to him. We just see names, its bush. Dont you think both have big onuses around their necks because if we hear bush were automatically going to go to people bringing up the photos of abu ghraib that radicalized them about iraq or get into benghazi because of Hillary Clinton. Matt, you can talk about this because it seems as if mitt romney was the only strength he has coming out of his run is what he was saying about Foreign Policy. Health care social issues the economy. He wasnt as authentic as he needed to be but on Foreign Policy it resonates that he did well on in his campaign. Yeah he was right about a lot of things geopolitical things about russia actually being a geopolitical foe. Mitt romney deserves credit for having been right and mocked frankly during the 2012 president ial election despite the fact that he was right about a lot of things. Look, i think this larger discussion, this lashlger erlarger debate is actually happening within the conservative movement. I think theres a huge a huge problem where conservatives dont want another bush. And where they you look to people like scott walker who no one had heard of a few years ago, didnt not even a college graduate. Someone like marco rubio, the son of immigrants did not go to an ivy league school. So i think that there are conservatives out there who dont have these legacy names, who didnt go to yale or harvard. I wouldnt be surprised to see one of them emerge and become the nominee. I think matt i was going to ask matt this question. I think the two candidates right now who are getting altitude and who knows how this will turn out to be but at the moment theyre getting altitude all of a sudden after the last weekend in iowa and the retreat in california with the Koch Brothers or marco rubio or scott walker for the reason that new names, new faces. People who look like the future. One a governor who has proven tested conservative, won elections, three elections. In wisconsin and marco rubio who is maybe one of the most gifted communicators in the party. They will have a tough fight against the financial prowess if mitt romney runs, jeb bush runs. I think there is a substantial part of the Republican Party that is looking around for a nonlegacy. Which is why the field is still so broad. I remember interviewing jeb bush and he said Say Something odd about the gene pool of america. 300 plus Million People and we come up with people from the same family. Jeb bush is theks next thing you know we will look like england. Wasnt there a reason a couple hundred years ago we had a disagreement overdo mess tick rule . Like it or not, jeb bush is our next president. Still ahead here on morning joe, Actor Kevin Costner is going to be here and beth stern joins us.

Catherine, you wrote in this mornings Washington Post about senator rand pauls audit, the fed bill and why its a bad idea. Calls to audit the fed are back. And just as before they are extraordinarily dangerous to the health of the u. S. Economy. The problem is despite the name rand pauls bill is not really about transparency. Its about subjecting more of the feds daytoday operations including policy deliberations in which fed officials for now feel free to speak candidly to the scrutiny of politicians who can pick discussions apart to score political points as policy is being set in realtime. The likely result though is a chilling affect on open dialogue. As fed officials try to avoid making any comments in meetings that might lead to harassment from congress and more sensitivity to shortterm political pressures. Why is rand paul doing this catherine . You know hes carrying the same mantel. He picked up the same mantel his father carried for many years. His father ron paul has advocated not only toed the fed but barring that to audit the fed. I think there are deep suspicions about very technical Monetary Policy. People dont really understand it. And theres been this feeling theres a cloak of secrecy surrounding it which i think mostly dates back to the greenspan era. Its become much more transparent not last ten years, i would say. So i think theres a lot of suspicion and misunderstanding and that translating into saying we need to really know every single moment every Single Movement that these officials are taking. Catherine, lets war game this out. It would be a disaster if with these inner working which has done a spectacular job over the last decade or two in terms of fighting inflation and other things. Lets bay play out if rand paul has his way and what happens. Take me behind the scenes and why this would be a disaster. What i foresee happen asking that, as i said in the piece, there will be this Chilling Effect that fed official while theyre deliberating, well, should we raise interest rates, change the language in our statement that theyll say oh, im a little bit worried about how this going to be picked apart. Im a little bit worried about whats going to happen when politicians get ahold of this exact exchange and theyre going to be less candid about their discussions which could potentially translate to less wise policy. Matt lewis, i want to i think bring you in here. Is it better to have more transparency at the fed or is there too much of the risk of the process being politicized to the extent the fed officials feel they cant act . Well, you know look im not a conspiracy theorists. I dont suspect theres anything sinister happening at the fed. But i am sympathetic to what rand paul is doing here. I think there are a couple of issues that this speaks to. One, i think a lot of conservatives are concerned about the dual mandate the fed has. On one hand handling Monetary Policy but also worrying about full employment and theres a concern that these things are sometimes mutual not necessarily mutually exclusive but sometimes at odds. I also think this speaks to a larger issue over congressional oversight. You know we increasingly have parts of the government that congress is really not prei have to oversight over. I dont know that the founders intended it that way and i think there are conservativing harkening back to the constitution who see this increasingly very important decisions being made that not only do they not have oversight over but theres not even transparency for them to know whats going on. I think it kind of speaks to a larger issue were having right now the struggle between the execive branch and legislative. Gene . Catherine, do you think if there were more transparency and more sort of you know reporting out of these comments that anyone would understand 10 of what theyre saying . I think thats unlikely. Any idea what they mean when they issue these sort of nomic statements that sound like yoda. Bear in mind, of course the fed is already audited. Its audited at several Different Levels by several different parties. And were not really doing a whole lot of analysis of that data as it is. You know they release a lot of information about whats on their balance sheet, about the minutes of all of their meetings. And its already so complicated that it doesnt seem like its being put to particularly smart use at the moment. Ever send time looking at the fmlc minutes. No. If that is thank you. Thats the stuff thats already out there in public. No need to go to sleep. Already out in public. If we had more disclosure, it would be a cure for narcolepsy. Everybody, straight down. He has sex pistol on the back of his iphone. The ore thing, never going to happen. No. Never going to happen. Never. Really, the obama administration, do you think barack obama is going to sign that bill into law . I dont know if hes come out with a position. Opposed to the republicans in. More likely to. Yeah. The republicans will be more likely to. Yeah. It has 30 cosponsors in the senate. Its already audited. Move on. Catherine, thank you for coming in. Hezbollah may be fighting isis in syria but where do their allegiances truly lie . You only know in a fire to get out, to escape and now ok you are outside and you are safe but what do you do now and thats where the red cross came in.

Nationwide is on your side there seems to be a hope this morning in fighting between israel and hezbollah along the bortd border with lebanon. They said they sought a truce with officials. It comes a day after hezbollah says it was responsible for a rocket mortar attack that left two Israeli Soldiers dead. They then launched a air strike on southern lebanon. Benjamin netanyahu warned of a response similar in scale to last summers offensive in gaza against hamas. Joining us now is mikey kay. Mikey, the allegiance in this region are unbelievably complicated. Who is behind hezbollah at the moment, what the israelis should do. Do you think this could lead to an escalation . I dont. You heard the old adage the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Well, it doesnt always run true, especially when it comes to syria. Theres evidence mounting hezbollah is now fighting along assads regime to other government controlled areas. As i found out firsthand, this is a very different from the shiabacked militia group. These men are hezbollah soldiers. United states calls them terrorists. There is mounting evidence that they are now also engaged in a fight against isis. So what is hezbollah . Get out of lebanon, the israeli. Our priority is our country. Reporter the group was started in early 80s against the occupation of lebanon. Today hezbollah is an ally of the syrian president bashar alassad. I went to lebanon to get a better understanding of the role hezbollah is playing in a very dangerous region. About a mile in that direction is an israeli outpost that was used during the occupation. For ten years, this bunker was used to target that outpost. In 1989 they decided to open this, to dig a tunnel. Thousands of people persisted. They dug this tunnel for three years to shelter them from the attacks, from the bombing. Yeah. Hezbollah isnt just a fighting force. Its a political movement. And in parts of lebanon the organization is the primary provider of health care housing, and education. The rest of the country, give the media, they dont understand, for example, out seed hezbollah, we are happy. Were muslim. Reporter to try and prove a point the group is not just a bunch of fanatics hezbollah pr invited us to join one of the members serving in a parliament in a church. Hezbollah still gets most of its money and weapons from iran and now those resources are critical to holding the line against isis and syria. Reporter even some of the children here have been taught to love bashar alassad. Oh, she loves bashar. Who is bashar . Bashar assad. Why do you like bashar . Because he loves me too. Mikey, i agree, our enemys enemy is our friend. I was a little nauseous frankly watching what felt like a hezbollah propaganda film. This is still a terrorist organization. And i was nauseous watching this. I just are you kidding me . It is the u. S. Still call hezbollah a terrorist organization. As well they should. And i think whats interesting at the moment is this dynamic between hezbollah were very very cautious to me about how many team they had in syria. They didnt want to give anything away when it came to just how many forces they have in southern lebanon. I think this is a dynamic thats going on at the moment with the recent use over the five or six days, a talk about a flareup between the two countries again. Its interesting. I dont think that will happen because theyve got too many forces in syria. I dont think they have the force projection to be able to do that. Thats the dynamic i took away from that. Hezbollah fighting alongside assad since the beginning . 2012 was the first evidence when they were there. Im interested in how this plays into the israeli elections which ask about two weeks away. Fascinated by the fact that the israelis are at least temporarily at war two weekz before an election. Thats got to have some play there. Yeah im sure it will. I mean i personally dont think i think we saw what we know of the hezbollah commander being taken out with the iranian commander, retaliation strike yesterday by hezbollah on an israeli convoy. Im not sure it will escalate any more from that but its just another indication, another, hey, were here. And were not going to back down if any sort of tensions rise. It was a fascinating visit, which, you know i was, you know privileged to look at the dynamics if you like. Mikey kay, thank you for coming in.

Watch wbr id wbr36604 this. Barack obama holds the record for the most veto threats issued against the new congress. I will veto any new sanctions bill that threatens to undo this progress. George w. Bush holds the record for the most guidesed name veto during the speech. Is veto wbr id wbr36804 here as well . Thanks for watching president ial vito records. I thought that was funny. Random. Welcome back to morning joe. Donny deutsch, howard dean, Thomas Roberts are all here with us. In washington, Eugene Robertson and jeremy peters. Notice the casual all around. Jeremy and the nice crew neck sweater, no tie. Gene looking casual friday. Im just curious friday. Where is what is that where are you sets jeremy . Im in the lobby of a Hyatt Regency in philadelphia. Nice. Nice. Very elegant painting of a b new york times journalist. So if youre watching at the Hyatt Regency in philadelphia, go photo bomb jeremy peters. Jeremy looks like i wonder if hes surrounded by crowds of fans. I think so. I think so. Id like to think thats the case with jeremy. The Senate Just Passed a bill a profiting the Keystone Pipeline but it is almost certainly heading nowhere. The white house is already saying they will veto it. Nine democrats joined their republican colleagues in support of the Trans National pipeline. The president ultimately has the final say though in whether this project is approved sips it crosses international borders. It would be just his third veto. Congressional republicans are considering adding the measure on to another future bill to try to get the plan across the goal line. What do you reckon, john . Veto . Veto. I think the question is what happens after the veto and whether theres an opening for the white house to decide that it wants to negotiate and would its possible the administration will end up approving this on its own merits. The argument theyre making is were still not finished doing the internal review. The state department hasnt completed the review. Its possible the white house will end up wanting to approve this anyway and a trade will be made on a Larger Energy or climate package. This is interesting. You can argue the domestic. Why should we export because most of the oil will be exported p the problem is there is a major impediment with our relationship with canada. They have taken this on as a cause. Theyve always small country. Populationwise next to a big country. Very sensitive about this. National cause in canada. Hes got to take that into consideration as well. Gene how does the fact that the state departments own report came out fairly ambivalent on the Environmental Impact on keystone impact what the white house is nowing looking senate. You know ive always thought that kind of reflects the view in the white house. I dont think that they care passionately on one side or the other about building this pipeline. And i actually tend to agree with the premise that they can use this as a bargaining chip as something to give up and exchange for something else. And i frankly think they would be okay in doing that. I it would anger a lot of environmentalists in the democratic coalition. But president obama doesnt, you know, he can anger anybody he wants at this point, i suppose. What you never heard from the president is that this is a bad idea. The president has always said this is my prerogative and the congress is trying to end run what should be the white house executive authority to make a decision about whether this is a good thing or not. Hes not siding with the virmallists generally. Hes saying you need to let us get to our process first. Process argument not a standup argument which i felt they left themselves wiggle room to approve it. Get through this round, veto it and then modify it. As gene said make some kind of a deal on a Broader Energy package with republicans. President obamas calling for an end to the sequester cuts and propose major increase in spending. During a meeting with House Democrats the president called for new spending on programs that he introduced in his state of the union, child care paid sick leave, and Free Community college. The increase amount to 7 budget hike and president said it can be found by fixing if tax code and closing up special interest loopholes. The political reality makes it unlikely a plan would be approved in the Republican Controlled Congress but more of a jumping off point for negotiation. Is this kind of story,ier i jeremy . I think thats right. Both issues are kind of like something else. With keystone this was just a larger proxy fight over you know, global warming. In this case what the president is trying to do is force republicans to basically show him what plan they have show the america people what you would put forward instead of giving Free Community college to all american which i think is a nonstarter in congress. This all really just a jumping off point. Gene, i want to go back to something you said as far as the president a this point not caring too much either way. We all know the great numbers, unemployment. Im just feeling a mojo from this guy ive never felt before and it feels good. I think theres a certain sort of feeling of liberation over there. Its not total right because the president does have an interest in doing what he can to ensure that theres a democratic successor, probably Hillary Clinton, who would continue to build on his legacy rather than try to dismantle it. But, you know he has said before, he doesnt have to face the voters again. Theyre past the midterms. And, you know there is a kind of mojo happening over there that we havent seen in a long time. Governor as a politician what are you smiling at . In discussing this we are talking about mojo all over and over again. The branding thing on morning joe. As a scholar and politician, this is the first time a president has ever promoted Community College and theres always been a statement in this country about Community College and from the white house on down and first lady and dr. Biden they all speak about the importance. Joe biden is a professor in a Community College and koontz to be. I was hoping this was going to happen from the getgo of the obama administration. What youre seeing theyre not just leading, following the trend. Colleges are so expensive that tons and tons of kids are going to get two years of Community College, living at home, save a ton of money and then get their degree from berkeley or whatever State University it is and saving a ton of money. They need to because Higher Education is too expensive. I think this is a great idea the and its got if the republicans had brains they would get onboard with it to say they are doing something for the middle class, which theyre not. Is there any appetite given how much the deficit has fallen since 2009 is there any appetite amongst republicans to say, okay lets revisit the sequester cuts . It wasnt the most economically responsible way to try and reduce the deficit. Weve brought the deficit down. Lets have a look to see whether we can do things more subtle . Depends on which republicans youre talking about. Theres a fair number of republicans in the senate that would be happy to have the conversation and most of the republicans in the house caucus who would not be happy to have the discussion. Very different Republican Caucus necessary those two bodies. If you went to if you just had to deal with the senate you could probably make the deal in five days but the house Republican Caucus is still hellbent on not allows there to be an increase in spending and theyre deficit obsessed even though the deficit has fallen. Its being pushed by the white house, not for the domestic side. Theyre doing it for the defense side which i find unusual. The secretaries and people who know what theyre talking about in defense are putting pressure on the white house saying we cant pay our people properly. We need the weapons systems. It might be possible to undo the sequester because defense is what the republicans didnt want to sequester. Well see. Its a fascinating thing. Its an interesting to see a Democratic White House always accuse of being liberal by the republicans, do this and i think their motivation is defense. Dpeen . Gene . I agree its interesting they went on that side. 7 in day and age sounds huge right . Because were used to uk aing about 1 or 1 1 2 . 7 sounds huge. I think there will be a really sort of you know digging in by House Republicans and republicans in the senate, too, who really want to see those sequester numbers as kind of a ceiling and see it as something that they won, they won this budget reduction. They will really loath to give it up. Its doing to be difficult for moderate republicans to convince the conservatives to, frankly, to budge. Theyre afraid if they tinker with it it mushrooms into something overspending and i dont know the end of the world. At the end of the world. Jeremy, is this a pledge issue . How many of the freshmen who came in in this congress signed pledges not to raise taxes . Its almost impossible to run as a republican to not sign that pledge. Even though hes been kind of slightly diminished in his standing in the party . He is still behind the scenes working in ways that we dont hear about every day. But trust me hes there and hes meeting with a lot of these guys. Definitely helping shape policy no doubt about it. I think one factor that needs to be pointed out in trying to figure out whether or not obama and congress can come to any kind of accord here is that you have egos and legacies that factor in here. You have paul ryan in the house who really would like to get some type of tax deal. You have Mitch Mcconnell who is just itching to cut a deal. He will deal with obama. He said he wants to get something done. You have boehner who issing looking at his legacy as speaker right now and seeing something that is really not all that accomplished and he would like an opportunity to get something done here. Maybe that provides a little bit of hope. Okay. Lets move on. Senator, this is i love this. Senator john mccain lashed at protesters who disrupted a Committee Hearing yesterday calling one life a low life scum. As he walked into the room protesters from the Group Code Pink began chanting and waving signs demanding his arrest. Watch what happens when mccain thought things were going brought under control. Ive been a member of this committee for many years. And i have never seen anything as disgraceful and outrageous and despicable as the last demonstration that just took place about you know, youre doing to have to shut up or im going to have you arrested. If we cant get the Capitol Hill Police in here immediately get out of here you low life scum. There you go. Thats thats what we want from our leaders. Get off my lawn. Get off my lawn. Donny, how is it like being called low life scum. This side . Two. Theres another side of the argument. You have a defense. It was great. Thats a guy who thats the john mccain we want to see. The guy who doesnt care what he is meant to say and says it. Defending the honor of henry kissinger. Really hating code pink. And being cranky. The old mccain was back. One of the things about people is they kind of age a bit. They just dont give a crap. You get a lot of effect. Mccain hasnt really given a crap for a long time. When he was trying to play the game to get ahead, he massaged some of that. He lost. Not all of it. As you know. Want to show up and pro test they should be allowed to hear their voices. And instead of calling Capitol Hill Police and calling him a low life scum. He should be allowed to go to a Senate Hearing and disrupt a Senate Hearing . Im all for peaceful protests and everything but youre in a capitol hill hearing room you think they should be able to go if n. There and scream . Weve heard people yelled at the sat of the union. They were moved out, too. No. Im not talking about sitting members of congress. Im not in favor of that either. When it happened in the gallery. But theres a more interesting way for senator mccain or other people to talk about, you know calming a crowd like that and not pounding them down by calling them a lowlife scum. Actually i suspect they will be happy about it because they get a lot of okay. A favor. Fundraising day in code pink history today. Talking about war crimes. Right, donny . This will have booted up their fundraising numbers . I dont know. Im a big mccain fan today. Lets go to the outbreak of measles which has spread to a dozen states. About 1,000 people may have been exposed to the virus. Now tens of thousands of people are set to travel to one of the hardest hit states arizona for the super bowl this weekend. Joining us from glendale arizona, nbc news correspondent halle johnson. Halle . Good morning. I spoke with a Health Official who said he is not concerned about this outbreak spreading among all the folks who are coming in from all over the country for the super bowl here. Thats because, remember the number of people infected with measles in this state is seven. Thats very tiny. Relatively tiny number. They say youre more likely to catch the flu or a cold than the measles if you come here for the super bowl. That said arizona officials are concerned about the exposure as many as 1,000 people who may have been exposed to the virus here. At this childrens clinic signs warn a run any nose cough, and fever could be more than a cold. It could be measles. A real possibility not just here where hundreds may have come into contact with the measles patient but throughout arizona where seven people with the virus potentially exposed about 1,000 others. What state Health Officials call a critical point in this outbreak. Were making a big deal out of this because we need to contain it now before it gets really wide spread. Reporter most of the people exposed to measles have probably been vaccinated but if they havent been theyre being asked to stay home for three weeks away from work school or day care to make sure they dont infect anyone else. Its how experts hope to stop the spread of measles which is now in 14 states. Most of those cases linked to disneyland in california where one school sent 66 unvaccinated kids home this week just to be safe. Carl hoe hopes his sons school will do the same. 6yearold rhett cannot get the measles shot because of chemotherapy to treat his leukemia. The severity of it brought me back to the same fear i had when my doctors told me i might lose my child to cancer. Reporter thats why he wants his son cease school to ban any students who choose not to immunize them. When they dont have their children vaccinated it doesnt just affect their child, it affects many other children. Reporter its why some doctors call it a social obligation. Getting the shot to give others a better shot at staying healthy. Reporter the cdc describes this outbreak as a wakeup call guys. Federal Health Officials say its not the measles vaccine doesnt work its actually 99 effective if you get the two doses. Its that people arent using it and thats the issue. Hallie jackson, theres a lot of conversation ability how crazy it was that people didnt get vaccinations. A nut job medicine not to and the problem is there is a herd immunity problem. People are going to die who are old and immuno compromised, cancer paints, a small death rate for children as well. This is not fair. We ought to go back to the policy where your kids cant go back to school and be with other kids. That journal of medicine piece that said vaccinated are linked to autism. Debunked. Totally not true. Of all the antiscience movements that have sprung up in recent years this has got to be the most dangerous, the antivaccine movement. People on the left crunchy granola people on the left and some on the far right. Its seeing its been a huge thing over the last decade. Very dangerous for everybody. Not just for their kids but everybody else. Jeremy peters, what are you writing about this morning in the times . We have the first interview with harry reid since he injured himself. Remember, he had that terrible workout accident where he shattered his face and almost was blinded in one eye. We went in to go see harry reid in his condo in washington yesterday and talked to him where hes actually running the democratic opposition from his den. Pretty interesting. Hes conducting foreign and domestic policy from his desk. Fielding calls from Benjamin Netanyahu and dick durbin every morning.

Several babies have though been recovered from the rubble as rescue workers comb the scene in search of survivors. The explosion is believed to be caused by a leaking gas hose on a truck used to fuel the hospital ifrk tans. Tank. As we look at news from the los angeles times. Hiphop mogul suge knight arrested on suspicion of murder in connection of a deadly hit and run in compton. Knight is suspected of running over two men during an argument on a movie set. One died. Tekt tive told an nbc affiliate knight is accused of being behind the wheel of the vehicle which, quote, drove backwards, struck the victim then went forward and struck them again as it left. Knights lawyer says his client was the driver because what happened a tragic accident. Knight has had several runins with the law dating back as far as the 1990s. This past october knight turned in for questioning and bail set for 2 million for a different incident. And also we know that he is like teflon. He has been shot so many times and survives it all. Right. But this one might be too much. Going over once but then when you come back its hard to argue its an accident. Correct. This is a very very sad story. Particularly for my chronicle. From nbcnews. Com. A new study, startling new findings about the skt as of alcohol and how the quantity of what you drink could affect your risk for a stroke. My good friend dr. Nancy snyderman delivers the bad news. The results of this study in the journal stroke are sobering. For heavy drinkers thats more than one drink per day for women and more than two for men, a 34 higher risk for stroke than for light drinkers. I think its pretty surprising in general. I think were going to have to reevaluate our attitudes towards drinking. Reporter this study of nearly 12,000 twins in sweden over four decades, found that heavy drinking in our 50s and 60s raises the risk of stroke before the age of 75. Its as risky as having diabetes or high blood pressure. And heavy drinkers in their 50s and 60s are likely to have strokes five years earlier in life regardless of genetics. We think of strokes as happening in an elderly population. This study is saying no it can happen in younger people if alcohol is involved. Yeah. Absolutely. And unfortunately we are seeing younger and younger people having strokes. Reporter in moderation use of alcohol does not increase the risk for stroke and may even prevent it. The american haesht association defines one drink as four ounces of wine one beer or one 1 2 ounces of spirits. But too much of a good thing increases your risk for stroke. Heres the sad news. Two drinks a day and youre called a heavy dreinker. For women, its one. Definition of heavy drinking that people are going to be surprised about. They found 12,000 tweens in sweden to do this study. Go figure. Lets round up 12,000 twins in sweden and then well learn stuff about alcohol. They were kind enough to agree. Well shelf that study. Sometimes you just have to ignore it.

Im not performing. They asked me to but ill just going to be in the background. One thing that blew me away with pharrell in a given month he was responsible for 43 of the music plays on radio either as a producer or as unbelievable. And the rest will be taylor swift. Totally dominated. Pharrell so much is behind the scenes. You think about him just his own stuff nominated for girl and then the songs that every artist comes to him. Hes the spin goly of rock and pop and rap and able to position anyone. As our writer says hes an alien like presence. I think i remember because he hails from virginia beach, virginia, i believe, and Michael Jackson was working with him a long time ago, very early age. And considering to try to help him with one of his albums. Boy, hes got a stage presence on the voice, hes got the songs, hit songs, and the hat. How do you miss the hat. And just perfect for you guys because unlike a lot of people who work behind what you do in front of the camera in the music business hes a fashion icon. A guy who has a completely individual style and then i think thats whats inspiring about him for a lot of guys. We cant all dress like him but you can become an individual and thats what he creates. Hat that catapulted him into the public . Sort of pop crossover moment. He had been behind the scenes and done a lot of things. Known in the industry already. Yeah. And he had had a lot of breakout in the different genres but that was the one where, whether your 8yearold kid is singing it. Everyone was aware of that song. He was not robin thicke was the main which he wrote in 20 minutes. He was very present in the video. That was the first thing before happy and then it was all pharrell. I love you got all of these new guys and then Stevie Wonder. Stevie wonder a grand man of music which i loved last year he came out to celebrate the 40th anniversary in key of life. Did that concert tour and another album coming out soon. You want to talk about an inspirational guy in music and guys like pharrell, everyone still looks up to. 52 years since Stevie Wonder was declared a genius. 52 years. Hes been around forever. Hes been living the jean was every year. Coming back to barclays to do the songs of key of life. When is that . In the next couple of months. At the garden he blew the doors off. Yeah. People were crying. Its beautiful. Yeah. So no whats on your list . Weve got lil wayne, iggy azalea to nated for four grammys next week. Sam smith who is everyones sort of favorite, blueeyed soul singer. Controversy. With tom petty. What happened . He was topheavy with the one of the sam smith songs bears a striking resemblance to i wont back down. I dont know if striking is the right word. Striking enough that sam smith has been found in breach of copyright for it. Tom petty yesterday they settled. Classy yes. Settled. Generally i would say generally while theres not a criminal case here generally if you have a strong case you wouldnt mess around. Petty wrote a gracious note on his website yesterday saying totally understand. Happens all the time. Music music. Its happens to me. Need to know that theres only so many chords. Even an advertiser remember sometimes you do a spot and somebody says 14 years ago, it just there is overlap. There are three chords in music. You really want to defend this guy. No i just think if you hear the songs back to back its not a striking resemblance. Can we do that . We got a deejay. Can we do both back to back . No. Cant do it. Yes we can. We can do it. I swear. Weve got q on this. Stay with me because youre all i need well i wont back down no. Exactly. No. The witness may step down. Youre excused. Its not my case. Im just telling you thats ridiculous. He decided not to foot the matter and wrote a check. Striking resemblance, i have issues. Howard stern was prosecuting this case and howard your friend howard stern, found a striking resemblance. I love howard but i disagree with him. The premise of the piece is who were going to be listening to in 10 20 and 50 years. Legacy project. Lets take the 50year mark. Right. Of all the people youve got on this list who do you think is the one . None of us will be here. Stevie wonder will still be there. Donny will be here. Pharrell again, look at the levers hes pulling in music world right now. And you spnd any time with him and just realize hes i think, just scratched the surface of what hes capable of. Interesting though for the heavy metal fans. Mottry crew is on the list. Motley crue is on their farewell tour. Signed a contract after this tour they will never tour again. So theyre sort of blowing up the band. Theyre not going like cher farewell tour and come back five years later . Everyone is always like its our last concert. No, well come back together. Its a fantastic read being on the tour with them. Youve got people with their band for 15 20 po years now. Right. So. Fantastic. I find it interesting that gq has pharrell on the cover and his fashion iconic symbol is not on the hat. What went into that decision . You want to see his full face on the cover. You could still see the face. One of the hats is tall. You have to come down. He still looks good. To crop the image it would take up the whole logo of gq. Handsome fellow. Out of the list weve got here its pharrell and Stevie Wonder. Youre asking me to narrow it down. Those are my personal favorites. I would put the whole lot in there. Just the favorite so people will stand the test of time. I think those two. Sam smith is a strong start. Quickly, great article. Which i think is a terrific piece. This is this guy makes 44 million a year. A lot of con trotroversy last year. If you think about it the league is in a lot of trouble because this is a sort of lost 10 of young viewership over the last three years. They were regularly beating the ratings by walking dead on sunday nights. Theyre in a question right now is can they get thatst next generation. A lot of people are asking can goodell lead them to it. By the way, still making billions of dollars. Couldnt you get a great guy to make that for 22 million a year . Very well connected to bob kraft, too. Could become a new nascar. Half the people in the country now saying they dont want their kids to play football according to a poll we did. And thats a problem. They will still be watching this weekend and well be looking for the new issue of gq. Looking to be here. Good. Thank you. Hes been one of hollywoods goto leading men for the past 30 years. Why did Kevin Costner spend 9 million of his own money to make his new film black or white. Great movie. Important movie. I already told you this youre all welcome to come visit. Im thinking of things the way they are like dealing us all the hands weve been dealt, shes been dealt, we need to Start Talking about a shared custody. Not going to happen. No . No. Like i say, youre all welcome to come visit. But you dont want her down here, do you, down here with the black folks . Dont even start with that. Got a little black matt tutor. Is that going to do it huh . Take care of that whole half of her soul . What is it with you . Why do you always have to go there. Why is it with you that you dont want to admit theres a there there. Thats a scene from the new film black or white. They play two grandparents fighting for custody of a 7yearold girl torn between two families that both love her dearly. Kevin costner produced the film and twotime oscar winner joans us now with the writer and director mike boo ender. Welcome to you both. Thank you. And also we have Kevin Costner sunglasses which mika has taken from you. I like them. Youre not they feel expensive, kevin. Are they . No. Get them at the five and dime. Kevin, its a remarkable story about a guy that ends up in a situation he never saw coming. His wife dies. Suddenly, hes in the middle of not just a personal conflict but a conflict with a lot of m social messages. Yeah. The custody is in question. Its a story at its core, which is about the welfare of a child. And when two sides are forced to decide who gets to raise this child because the father is not going to be present in the life its when the film just really starts to expand. And it starts to go places and things get said that i think a lot of people have been wanting to say for a long time. And its because race gets used. And once it gets used everything becomes fair game. You say well, mike before we get to that. Set up the story for us. Tell us about kevin as a grand dad who finds himself in the position he doesnt expect to be . Well shs its a grandfather who loses his life. Years ago he loses his daughter at childbirth. Her grandmother and aunts and cousins. Basically, you know spencer comes in and wants to figure out a way to say, hey, this little girl belongs with us down in south central. Hes in so much pain and hes lost his wife and hes holding on to her in such a way that you know you really start to feel that you dont realry know where the child belongs. Thats the whole thing about the movie. We kind of want to take you on a ride and make you kind of wonder yourself, what would i do in this situation. And you said that this movie changed the way you look at things. You say the next time you have a conversation about race, this is actually this movie is going to inform that conversation. I think it does. Sometimes when we are having those conversations, they can get heated. They can get out of bounds. And one person wants to walk away and leave the room and when that happens, the conversation stops. When you watch this movie, things get said that maybe you wish were never said and maybe you wish were absolutely said and perhaps even more importantly, something you wish you might have said in your life. Mika everybody says they want a real conversation about race. Exactly. Never va it. Its hard. There is one here. There is one here. Also people leaving the movie will have one, too, which i would assume is a good byproduct of this. Writer director, mike binder how long have you been working on this movie because the timing is exceptional. I wrote it about 2 1 2 years ago and gave it to kevin and he oh of we started working on it right away and shot it about a year and a half ago. So we were kind of when we shot it none of this was in the news. All of the ferguson and new york. But it was a safe bet that something was going to be in the news baz were a raceobsessed country. Its not over yet. Exactly. We have so much work to do. Our problem didnt start in august. Exactly. We were certainly not trying to ride a wave of oh, look heres our movie. This is a this is a bad moment for us. But at a bad moments, thats where you move. And its an obligation of this generation, of this American Society to move. And were a single movie. Were one story. Not that were solomon noer do we have an answer we certainly didnt make a movie that danced around the issues. We cant afford that anymore. Has to be exciting for you to have both oscar winnering sign on to this. When it came to casting the ground granddaughter, this 7yearold who plays such a pivotal role in the film how special and unique of an actress did you is to find to be able to carry this especially with the heavy social content . It was everything. If you think about it, if you cast that wrong, if you cant find that girl, you dont have to movie. And this little girl won the role out of thousands of little girls all across the country. And we came up to new york and kevin was here and, you know there was a chemistry right away. You know . And shes really the heart and soul of the movie. And thats why, because its such a great analogy. Its the whole movie is about this little girl and what we do with the children and what were putting in their heads. It goes from 1,000 girls to 100 to 50 and then i see the last 3. And i tell you what when three little girls walk in there are two things that are going to happen. Two little girls hearts are going to break and ones life is going to get changed. Thats a myth call hollywood, if you will. Theres a lot of praise about the onscreen connection that you have with this 7yearold who plays your granddaughter. Lets take a look now at some of that here. Are you okay, papa . Im good. Its just a really sad story. Its not sad. Its about a grandpa who takes his family on vacation. No i it. It just reminds me of another story. A sad one. I just got sad. Its fine. Weve been spying on her but we cant get too close to the shore. Its like wow. Okay. Tell us tell us about the scene. The movie does ride a lot on this little girls shoulders and that moment was not scripted. You dont reach up and hug him, hug him, you dont certainly reach up and kiss him. And i like to say, sometimes Little People snow exactly what big people need in life and we dont see it coming and that little girl at that moment handed me my performance. And great afterwards. I said to her, why did you do that . Perfect. What made you give him a kiss . He said it just felt like he need add kiss. Oh wow. Such a great acting moment. A powerful moment. When you see the movie youll see why that was. I love it. Black or white is in theaters now. It is so nice to meet you both. Kevin costner. Thank you so much. It is important. This looks like an incredible movie. Were going, right after the show. Hows that . Okay. Its in theaters now. Well be right back with much more of morning joe.

I have moderate to severe crohns disease. Its tough, but ive managed. But managing my symptoms was all i was doing. So when i finally told my doctor he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohns disease. And that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. If youre still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible.

She basically just said man up. Talking be manning up washington. Senior contributor and columnist for the week matt lewis is also with us without a beard but a tie and pricewinning columnist. And with a mustache. Its friday. No stache. And jeans. Impeccable anyway. Joe and mika are in phoenix getting ready for the live show from the super bowl in phoenix. Joined by Sports Reporters former players and feature an interview with katy perry who will headline the half time show. My daughters so excited about that. Dont miss the special morning joe at night tonight at 8 00 p. M. Eastern. Thats going to be great. Barnicle is going to be there, too. I dont know why hes not pictured. Trying to get viewers. Why his picture is not there. Called marketing. Im advertising for barnicle. Hell be there and knows his sports. Now Super Bowl Weekend is formally here as phoenix prepares to host the nations biggest sporting event over the year. Expecting over a Million People and the feds pliay the security role. Something else closely guarded, the super ball footballs especially after deflategate. The nfl says it will take custody of the footballs today. Not children. Footballs. And will hand them over to officials two hours before kickoff. Were reviewing our protocol in terms of chain of custody. The official doss have the footballs up until about ten minutes prior to kickoff and then theyre brought out to the field. So were reviewing that protocol. Thats my answer. A lot of reassuring words there about the footballs, in case anyone was worried. Donny was worried about that . Had a problem, recently a custody of his balls. I was married twice. Meanwhile, learning more about katy perrys halftime show. Lenny kravitz a special guest, also missy elliot will be the surprise guest. Held a News Conference yesterday and it was clear shes been following the news herself in the runup to this big game. I dont think im so much of an expert on the game of football, but i think i can assure everyone in here that nothing in my performance will be deflated. Youre single girl. Is there somebody of your eye on this weekend . Im just here so i dont get fined. That was good. Katy perry quoting seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch and his refusal to answer any questions. Hes kind of a jerk. Your salary is paid by fans. Sounds like hes a jerk. It does sound like he was dissing the fans. A little . Youre getting paid so much money, turn up and do a press conference. Took questions from the skills press conference. Asked me why im here today . Why are you here today . Im here so i dont get fired. Im just here so i dont get fined. Im here so i dont get fined. You got it. Seriously. Said it 29 times. I just i just hes just a jerk. Have you seen him play . Hes a good player. Obviously, thats a given. Lets hear from him. Hes since broken silence using a final question to slam reporters for not leaving him alone. Im here preparing for a game and yall want to ask me all these questions which is understandable. I could get down with that but i told yall. Im not about to say nothing. So for the remainder of my whats that . Three minutes because im here im available for yall, im here im available for yall. I done talked. All of my requirements are fulfilled. So now for this next three minutes, ill just be looking at yall the way that yall are looking at me. Thank you. See, i just think thats disrespectful to the media and, by the way, for a guy who doesnt want attention by doing what hes doing he gets more attention. Performance art. Man. Come on. Is that what it is . Did you notice the cap . The beast mode cap, not officially aens willed nfl product. Still unclear whether the league will discipline him for that too. I hope youve been watching all of this. I dont watch any of this. I could see you i really like sports and i really dont like the hoopla and the leadoff and i dont watch anything until the game. But youll be watching the game. Yes, of course. And the fine 500,000 . Make hick show up because he wont talk to him . There was okay. Well look it up. Will he get fined for the hat, too . Yeah. 20,000, 25,000, Something Like that. But he has a great charity. Marshawn lynch does a foundation. Use that time to go talk about your foundation. Drum up more support like the skittles press conference goofy, kind of funny. Put him in front of the skittles, ate skittles and made a lot of cash for his foundation. Show up there, talk about the good work hes doing. Quickly. Picks. Picks . I got to go with the seahawks. hawks. I hate the patriots but i think its patriot. Seahawks. Okay. You heard it first. Whoa. Gene . Gene . See hawkes seahawks are going to win. Go with the cheaters. Im going with the pate trinchts with patriots. With fully inflated balls, presumably. Anybody whos mad at Marshawn Lynch should try to tackle him. Okay . Thats not an easy thing to do. That doesnt mean he has an excuse not to answer questions. And South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham said dont count him out. Showing hes more serious than anybody thought. Security through strength could inject Foreign Policy in a race shaping up predemocrat flenltominantly to be about the middle class and economy. The third early primary of the cycle will take place. And meanwhile in the staff up before a potential run jeb brush grabbed a former Romney Adviser who could help him make gains in iowa. If bush goes allin david kochal will reportedly serve as his campaign manager, on team romney in 2012 and most recently consulted for senator jodie ernst of iowa and the Associated Press reports some former romney donors are starting to line up behind bush as well saying things they liked about romney they see in jeb and took romney at his word when he said he would not run again. Romney shimshimself is expected to hold a Conference Call with backers today, and senator rand paul taking an aggressive approach to social media. It means like this one. Yesterday released what he call as secret tape of a phone call between jeb and hillary. Well its true. Im thinking about running for president. [ laughter ] well, jeb, so am i. I just wanted to call and give you a heads up and in hopes we could work something out. Well what do you mean jeb . Its clearly my turn. Bush, clinton, bush now clinton. Well hillary, there hasnt been a republican without white house a bush since 1977. And were ready to be back. Let me shoot straight with you, jeb. Okay . Bill and i are dead broke. We need a place to stay. 1600 pennsylvania ava, its calling me home. Maybe we can work something out, you know . We both agree on so many issues. Bigger government common core and amnesty for Illegal Immigrants . Well weve both got problems. Youve got problems with the grass roots, and ive got all of those damn conservatives. What say we make a deal . [ phone beep ] i. Have so hillary i have to go. Mitt keeping calling. Hillary impersonation much better than jeb. Got to find a good jeb. Easy to do bush in this stra teachry thing. Jebs toucher to do but i think its funny and who knows how long at some point we have to talk didnt rand needs substance but i thought clever ate this point in the race and it does illustrate a point about jeb bush you know being cozy bushes getting cozy with the clintons and frankly on some issues like common core and Immigration Reform not being terribly far apart. John heilemann, obviously, in 30 years one race that hasnt had a bush or clinton. Clearly, Hillary Clinton weve sen her for many many years. Jeb bush has the familiar name but absent from politics in the last years. Is there a distinction . Yes. The biggest, out of public life a long time to the extent he was in public life in florida. Not a National Figure. She han in an omnipresent figure since 1972. People feel her as much more generally formed and the fact of the two parties. A very different situation. She is now widely favored by Many Democrats, enthusiastic about her. Shell have some problems. Talked about them serious issues she has to overcome but got a glide path to being the democratic nominee. Hes in the middle of an incredibly incredibly hotly contested bruising republican nomination test and in different situations and with respect with how well the country knows them or thinks they know them. Donny, if its bush clinton does he then negate all the questions that might be surrounding her about hearkening back to the past . A tremendous difference. Hillary ive said it often. Such a fatigue here. The problem she also has, whenever she comes out of the gate its postcarnation and the media ready to no. Been too easy on you. Jeb, on the other hand when he comes on you lean in. We havent seen the face talking viscerally. I want to hear what he has to say. Even though the names are familiar, she much much much much more in a position who seems tired and been there. I take the totally opposite side. Of course you do. Donny not just for political reasons, also because the analysis is my analysis is this why i support her really early. I think the country is really worried. Nothings been done in washington its a fail entity and i think people want somebody steady predictable and who they know and that is only Hillary Clinton. And my first electoral prediction of this season. I do not think that jeb bush wins iowa. If he runs probably get the nomination bull hell get beat up a lot in the Republican Party. The big question is what is the message of a hillary clinton . And i think that is yet to be defined. Let me ask you, gene it seems as if theyll run for the white house, its like getting in greek life on american campuses. Youll a legacy pledge. And if youre a legacy pledge its going to be a lot easier for you. Weve got a bush a clinton. Uhhuh. We can throw rand paul into the mix because of his dad. Mitt romneys father was in politics. I mean, why cant we get fresh names in the batch here that are actually legitimate, that have a good chance to do something for this country from the white house . Well you know thats a very good question. I get asked that question a lot. If i you know travel to give a speech or Something Like that and people you know just regular americans just ask, why dont we why all bushes and all clintons . And nobody else . And romney back in . So its a very good question. Im not sure i have an answer. I do have a question for donny, which is just on a pure brand level, like coke versus pepsi, just the name and the association, which is more toxic, do you think . Which whose name hurts him or her more . Clinton or bush . If you just thats a great question. If you just take the name, just as words if you will i think bush right now because were still eight years away from w and know kind of how that ended. The name itself. But then when you put the visual on and we are a visual media. You look at television you lean in, i think when you see those two faces, hillary, i just think its been too many years. I just want to change the channel. Jeb, hey, wait a second. This jeb guy. Heard about him, kind of heard good things. Havent listened to him. Im leaning in. The entire package, clinton much more fatigued. The name by itself we never see. We dont live in a world where we just see name, its bush. If we hear bush were automatically going to go to people bringing up the kalachi brothers or in benghazi because of Hillary Clinton. Matt, you can talk about this. Seems as if mitt romney was the only strength he has coming out of his run is what he was saying about Foreign Policy. Health care, social issues the economy, he wasnt as authentic as he needed to be on those. On Foreign Policy the only thing that resonates that he did well on in his campaign . He was right a lot about of thing, geopolitical things. About russia being a geopolitical foe and whether or not we should have left reserve forces in iraq. Mitt romney deserves credit for having been right and mocked frankly, during the 2012 president ial election despite the fact he was right about a lot of things. But, look i think this larger discussion, this larger debate that were having this morning is actually happening within the conservative movement and i think theres a huge a huge problem where conservatives dont want another bush and where they so you look to people like scott walker, who no one had heard of a few years ago. Not even a college graduate. Someone like marco rubio. The son of immigrants. Did not go to an ivy league school. So i think there are conservatives out there who dont have these legacy names, who didnt go to yale or harvard, and i wouldnt be surprised to see one of them emerge and become the nominee. I think matt i was going to ask matt this question. I think the two candidates right now who are getting altitude and who knows how ephemeral this will turn out to be. The two candidates in the republican side getting altitude all of a sudden after the last weekend out in iowa and retreat out in california with the Koch Brothers are marco rubio and scott walker for precisely this reason. There is a sense, new names, new faces. People look like the future. One, a governor whos proven tested conservative. Won a bunch of elections. Three elections, and in wisconsin and marco rubio, who is maybe one of the most gifted communicators in the party. Those guys they will have a tough fight against the financial prowess of mitt Romney Jeb Bush raise a lot of money and establishment backing but for reasons matt said, there is a substantial part of the Republican Party looking around for a nonlegacy.

Hearing from various sources mitt romney will give more indications of his president ial plans at 11 00 a. M. Eastern this morning on a call with supporters. John heilemann, you have news on this. Whats happening . Doing this Conference Call of supporters, mark halperin, by partner and colleague broke this news in the morning. A big piece on our website whats going on in romneys mind pap complicated decision to make but clearly think hess would be the best president of the United States. Clearly thinks if he runs he will be the republican nominee. Thinking neither jeb bush nor Chris Christie can get the republican nomination let alone win the white house. He has things, mark reports, that are holding him back. A vicious republican primary. Personal toll but it seems marks judgment seems to be romney is leaning towards running at this moment. Not guaranteed but marks reading the tea leaves weighing looking at both sides of the ledger. Seems more on the go side than the no go side. What are you expecting to hear . I really do not know. Some reporting out there, not marks, some reporting he might actually announce hes actually going to run. I dont know if hell ghee far. Its now only three weeks. Amazing only three weeks since romney tipped his hand he was thinking about going in. Feels like an eternity given all the talk about it. Its possible he might tip his hand a little more today on this call. Hes been running for eight years. Longer than that. Stand by. If youre rand you paul or Chris Christie are you hoping pe gets in and him and bush cancel each other out . If youre Chris Christie you are not hoping if gets in there. Think what Chris Christie needs to do get a bunch of establishment donors and the more of these big establishment guys competing for establishment dollars in the republican donor class, harder for Chris Christie. A guy like rand paul people in the antiestablishment bracket, they i think want all the establishment candidates in there. A big strum between bush romney and christie they could cancel each other out and create space for one antiestablishment candidate, contrary to normal practice could open the space for an antirepublican candidate to win the nomination. Scott walker . Weird guy. Not antiestablishment but he is outside washington because of the governorship. Rand paul for instance ted cruz, nonestablishment characters from the kind of grass roots wing of the party. They would like to see more competition on the establishment side to create more room for them. Okay. Well follow that. 11 00 call with the romney people. Time for business before the bell. Sara eisen joins us with news on gdp . Nations economy only grew 2. 6 in the Fourth Quarter of last year. A very big disappointment. Economists looking for a number above 3 growth. Especially disappointing when you put it next to the quarter before. 5 growth. Thats the headline. Deeper, Consumer Spending biggest, most important part of our economy did grow. More than 4 which wa better. That is a good thing. Other drags on the economy, like Less Government spending and also more imports. We were buying for from overseas. That drags on the economy. Interesting to see how the market takes this. Last trading day of january, and we are set for a down month when it comes to the stock market. A few stocks i want to point out, kneedeep in earnings season now. Amazon, should get a nice boost at the open. Trading higher in the after hours last night after reporting earnings beat the street patch broout quarter poor amazon at least on prompt. Prime memberships. Signed up for amazon prime you are not alone. Turns out in the United States prime memberships grune 50 ss grewa 53 around the world, helping amazon. The other big toy watch, google. Out with earnings last night and disappointed. The fifth quarter in a row it disappointed on the earnings front. Basically whats happening with google is that its a search business. Sells ads online through search and more people are going to their mobile phones and just cant make as much money on those mobile ads as on desktop and laptop ads. One of the factors hurting google. Also spending a ton on farflung projects like driverless cars. Investors frustrated with that. Watch sthag at watching that as well. Sara eisen cnbc thank you. Thank you.

Its so, whats the word . Sexy. Go national. Go like a pro. Okay. Countdown to super bowl time and here with us now president jordan roth with new list from culturalist dotcom and talking about this time nfl. Lets start wit halftime show. Why i watch. Culturalist, top ten list that anybody can make. Talking current consensus, if you disagree make your own list. Change the rankings. So halftime shows, before there was deflategate, there was nipplegate. Number three, janet jackson, justin timberlake. Wardrobe malfunction heard around the world. Malfunction. Loved that halftime show. Right . Number two, crazy for beyonce. You remember this was 2013 a. Great show. She had caught a little flak for lipsynching at the president s second inauguration. So this was silences doubters but a little overshadowed by the blackout, as we recall. 34 minutes pausing the game. The great thing. Kelly and Michelle Rose up out of floor. On the side of her. Destinys child in effect. Great. Or in the house. Number one, as the case may be. King of pop. Michael jackson, all the way back in 93. I dont remember. Really . May be this inaugurated the pop spectacle we know and love. The first time that tv viewership actually increased during the halftime show. People who werent watching the game tuned in. Got to get the youtube on that. Incredible performance. Its crazy. Mccartney to me also. Ah i mean it was [ snoring ] on the top three, didnt break the top tleenchts spiceen. Spice girls . Knop pt they were olympics. Tv ads . Donny is excited. So far number three, hello ladies, the old spice man. Yes. Your man could smell like and this ad of course spawned tons ofparodies. You know youre on to something when theyre parodying your ad. Donny, number two . The fantastic ad. Tiny darth vader. Love that ad. And number one, give betty white a snickers. I feel like the lesson if you want to win the super bowl be betty white, get body slammed in the mud. Done. And eat a snickers. And eat a snickers. Totally. Do the ads have as much influence as they did . Ran an entire special a couple days ago, just previewing the ads for the super bowl. More effective, the internet. Not just the 30 seconds. The buildup, the after. The whole thing. Happens instantly, going viral. 4. 5 million, but a lot more exposure than just the game. If you do an ad like godaddy that wont air and everybody is still talking about it online making comparisons. We used to do godaddy ads. Kissed that nerdy guy . Right. Theyre philosophy. Liza minnellis kiss when she got married . Look . See, theyre not paying us to talk about it here and here we are talking about it. So it works. Go to sports. They actually play football in between the ads and halftime show. Not 34u67much. Somebodys got to throw the ball. Best nfl quarterbacks alltime number three, john elway. Five super bowl appearances. Are these best super bowl quarterbacks or best quarterbacks. Bet nfl quarterbacks of alltime. Won backtoback 9798 and Russell Wilson looking to do the same but only number 24 on the list. All right. Hes so young. Hes got time. I think he is he is 24. Right . Peyton manning at two, couldnt say only won one super bowl but a great quarterback. Came up short last year still number two. Number one, joe mant mantontana, one of the alltime greats. Missing, mr. Deflategate missing. Tom brady. Number four. Came in at number four. I dont really care about tom brady at all, but the super bowl record championships matter a lot. Hard to put Peyton Manning ahead of tom brady on the basis of super bowls. Really going to be cemented come sunday. He loses, 33. Still 6 super bowls only win half the time. He still won three super bowls. Not a lot of quarterbacks. With all the problems the nfl had over the last six months or so, is this super bowl going to be just as watched as ever . Even more so. A Public Service talking about deflategate for these weeks, people will tune in looking at let me look at those footballs. Are they right . Plus you have do you have a great the best matchup. A great matchup. The returning super bowl champion in the seahawks. Patriots peep loveople love to hate or love. East coast, west coast. From a tv standpoint a great matchup. The one the nfl wanted. The fact of the Domestic Violence ad airing too. A really chilling ad. It is. Have you looked at the clips of it . Yes. Heard the whole thing. It really its the right thing for the nfl to be doing. Gets to the heart of it and explains exactly what certain women are going through. Yeah theyre donating that time. Good p. R. For them. A smart thing to do, because theyve had theyve done the facts, where they show that there is violence that happens at home during these sporting events. Going to be a huge number on sunday night. I think. Are we making predictions guys . Quickly, donny . Hate the patriots but i think theyll win. Im a seahawks guy. Hawks. Katy perry for the win. Yes, yes thats the the only prediction that were going to come back monday and shes going to have a wardrobe malfunction, the only way you can lose. Or maybe win. Or win. Or win. Good point.
