Jacob rascon in new york. Turning the the democrats and the bernie Sanders Campaign. Nbcs Chris Jansing is in louisville, kentucky for us. Good morning. Some saying Bernie Sanders is hurting Hillary Clinton by staying in the race. Thats something that has really angered him in the past. Has that changed . Hes dismissive of that. He thinks hes strengthening the Democratic Party, they intend to register tens if not,0 hundredsf thousands of new voters. Even now as i go into the crowd and say you know the chances of him winning are very, very, very small, people get the math. They understand whats going on. He believes he can bring these new people into the party and that its important for democrats to be talking about these base progressive issues hes been talking about frankly for his whole career. And talking about those kinds of crowds, 2200 last night in grand forks, north dakota, even though it was outdoors and it was in the 40s. We saw a rare sight, Bernie Sanders put a coat on as he made his argument he could still win the nomination. Take a listen. To bore you with some arithmetic. We have about 45. 5 of the pledged delegates. Pledge delegates are the d delegates actually elected by the people as opposed to the superdelegates. And god knows who elects them. Our goal in the next five weeks in kentucky and oregon next tuesday and six other states, including north dakota, on june 7th is to win as many delegates as we can and to go into the Democratic Convention with a majority of with more delegates than secretary clinton. Obviously tuesday would be critical if we stand any chance at all of doing that. The problem this presents for Hillary Clinton is shes fighting on two fronts, fighting against donald trump putting that new ad against him at the same time. Shes coming back here to kentucky tomorrow and monday, clearly a sign shes worried about the headlines t momentum, about Bernie Sanders still having a chance in this race and maybe possibly since theres not great polling here, maybe her campaign senses some opportunity that she still has a chance to pull out a win here in kentucky. I guess the big longterm question is what does Bernie Sanders want . Hes not happy with the way hes been treated by the Democratic National committee. When it comes to the convention, if he is not the nominee, the things hes pushing for like the 15 minimum wage, something Hillary Clinton has talked about 12 she could get on board with, some of the other expansions of health care, even though he wants health care for all, there certainly is some Common Ground for the democrats. But other things he has been fighting for, like a ban on fracking, a tougher wall street regulations, are going to be a lot harder. Remember, of course, this is about who he gets to represent him eventually on some of those key committees that will decide the platform. Right now, if you talk to Bernie Sanders as i have several times the last couple days, he is focused on these upcoming primaries. Aym ayman . Nbcs Chris Jansing live in louisville. Windy louisville. Thats true. Joining me is National Politics reporter for the hill cate martel and White House Correspondent for the daily mail. Com francesca chambers. Good to have you both with us. There has been a lot of pressure mounting on Bernie Sanders to drop out of the race. In fact, senator Dianne Feinstein from Southern California says hes hurting Hillary Clinton. How long do you think Bernie Sanders can hang on here . Good morning, ayman. Bernie sanders has said hes going to stay in for all 50 states. Whats most interesting in this, Hillary Clinton will get the nomination, its hard for Bernie Sanders to actually have a chance. Where he can come in is he wants to be a part of the platform, like you were just saying. Whats really going to hurt Hillary Clinton is the fact that she hasnt been able to finish off Bernie Sanders up until this point points to her weaknesses. You can see the seams in her campaign that as we go into the general election well need to see democrats unified especially if we see donald trump put up a big fight. Let me pick up on the point unification. In one of your articles, you drew a parallel between the lack of unity between the gop and the democrats. Do yu see the Democratic Party and at least on the democratic side of this race, are they as divided and separated as the republicans . Perhaps not as much as the republicans, but i think democrats are making a mistake if they think its just going to come together for them very easily were the convention. The article youre talking about referenced debby wasserman schultz, the chair of the Democratic Party, she was telling reporters on a press call that democrats will be unified going to the convention, their party will be unified. You have to look at how many Bernie Sanders supporters say they wont vote for Hillary Clinton ifhe is the nominee. They have their own never hilla Hillary Movement going on. Hillary clinton has to do a lot of work to convince those supporters of Bernie Sanders that they should vote for her in the general election. Kate, let me ask you this about trumps meeting with paul ryan and gop officials. What did you get or what sense what particular specifics came out of that . What sense did you get that they may have gotten any closer to resolving some of those issues that were covered and the concerns that were expressed . Ayman, i was at paul ryans meeting with the press right after. He seemed generally gleeful and seemed a lot more enthusiastic about donald trump than we have seen. He would not divulge the specifics of the issues they discussed except to say 45 minutes of one meeting isnt going to settle these issues. Whats interesting is the Senate Majority whip, john cornyn in a meeting right after paul ryan said theyre going to discusses immigration Going Forward and try to change the tone on that. Whats really interesting about that is the hispanic vote is going to be what decides the presidency. Theres a lot of growing hispanic communities. Look at arizona. John cornyn is looking at the senate and is worried saying, hey, is donald trump going to hurt the senate . Hes trying to unify the party. Were going to see a lot of these issues come out in the next few weeks. Francesca, do you think we can gauge how much of this imprei embracing of donald trump is really an issue. Paul ryan and Reince Priebus want to bring the party together. They have to be unified if they want to beat Hillary Clinton. Thats what this comes down to, they want to win the presidency, they want to retain the house, retain the senate, they want to win in november. Donald trump is the guy at the top of the ticket, whether they like it or not. So i think what we saw this week is coming to grips with that, coming to terms with that and realizing that theyre going to have to get behind them if they want to have a united front in the fall. Kate, how much of this do you think that there wont be a challenge at the convention, given the way things are starting to come into shape with the gop, with a lot of i guess a lot of big players in the gop rallying behind donald trump . Is that going to mean there will not be a contested convention . Ayman, you make a good point. While it cant be contested, donald trump, once he hits 1237, game over. That doesnt mean the Convention Wont be contentious. Theyre usually pretty scripted and stay to the rules. But donald trump is such a more eccentric candidate, where this could have an effect is the vote for president. Delegates arent bound to support the Vice President as they are the nominee. Thats an entirely separate vote. They could shoot down who donald trump chooses as the Vice President. The other place that can get contentious is when it comes down to the platform. Donald trump isnt strictly conservative as a lot of people at the convention will be. When it comes to the transgender issues, thats an issue that he wont necessarily support what a lot of the conservatives are saying. I think thats an area that we could see a really contentious Convention Even if donald trump does come out with the nomination. Cate martel, francesca, thank you for joining us this morning. Thank you. Campaigning by Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in the bluegrass state and the talks surrounding potential Vice President ial picks. Stay with us. School, grocery shopping. My face can unlock this computer. Thats crazy. Macbooks are not able to do that. Hey cortana, remind me we have a play date tomorrow at noon i need that in my world. Anything that makes my life easier, im using. And windows is doing that. Welcome back. Hillary clinton and Bernie Sanders will make lastminute Campaign Stops in kentucky this week where 60 delegates are up for grabs. Sanders is there today. Clinton has two events scheduled tomorrow. Joining me is congressman john yar mugt who will be with clinton at at least one event. Good morning and thanks for joining us. Good morning, ayman. Let me start off with a question about the time that is spent this week. In addition to spending a considerable amount of time in your state this week, Hillary Clinton has also just bought about 178,000 worth of ads there. Being about 142 delegates away from the number needed for the nomination, why do you think her campaign feels the need to keep pouring more money into kentucky . Well, i think what she wants to do is to go into the convention with considerable momentum and excitement. She can do that by winning in kentucky, going on to win in new jersey and california. And that will set the tone for a very successful convention. I think thats her purpose. Weve talked a lot about some of the states and how important theyve been through out this primary process. How crucial is kentucky to the race this november . You know, when ive spoken to secretary clinton and also to president clinton, they think they can make kentucky competitive. President clinton carried the state twice in 92 and 96 and is very popular here in my district as well as other parts of kentucky. I think this is not just trying to win the primary. This is setting the stage for a general Election Campaign where they believe because of the background here that they have a chance to turn this state blue. Boy, it would be a wonderfully refreshing thing for us if they were able to do that. Lets talk a little bit about Bernie Sanders. I want you to take a listen to what he said to my colleague Andrea Mitchell in an interview this week. In every state that we have won, in 19 states, we have had to take on the entire democratic establishment. Weve had to take on senators and governors and mayors and members of congress. Thats what we have taken on. So please do not moan to me about Hillary Clintons problems. Is he right . Has everything been set up for Hillary Clinton and do you give him any credit for remaining competitive throughout this race . I do give him credit for remaining competitive and for a lot of the excitement hes generated. Im grateful to him for creating that excitement and bringing new people into the process. But by and large, what we have to think of as democratic officials, we think not just to the president ial election. We have a critical election this fall to hold the Kentucky House of representatives with a new democratic governor trying to dismantle so many of the good things in this state. We need to have that protection. We have to make a decision as superdelegates as to which candidate at the top of the ticket will help those downballot races. Again, theyre very, very critical to us. Obviously im up for reelection, too. Ill think about that as well. One of the things that i think we have to consider is that were when states with closed primaries in other words, states where only democrats can vote, Hillary Clinton<\/a> is also pouring resources into upcoming primary states. Whats behind the latest moves . One state throwing down the gauntlet over the obama administrations transgender bathroom directive. Cruel summer. It promises to be one of the busiest flying seasons ever. The worst part could be before you even get on the plane. We begin with politics. Donald trump has 100 million new reasons to keep fighting, courtesy of mega donor sheldon adelson. He has purportedly promised trump a huge cash infusion to keep his campaign rolling.

Obviously im up for reelection, too. Ill think about that as well. One of the things that i think we have to consider is that were when states with closed primaries in other words, states where only democrats can vote, Hillary Clinton<\/a> wins those consistently. Even in West Virginia<\/a> last week, 40 of the votes cast in the democratic primary were not democrats. And she carried the actual democrats who voted. So i think its a little bit disingenuous to talk about just the democratic establishment. I think democratic voters, committed loyal democrats throughout the country overwhelmingly support Hillary Clinton<\/a>. Lets talk about the report that came out from the Huffington Post<\/a> that said the Hillary Clinton<\/a> campaign is considering senator Elizabeth Warren<\/a> for Vice President<\/a>. I was curious to get your take on that and who you would like to see Hillary Clinton<\/a> potentially pick as a Vice President<\/a> ial candidate. Well, i think Elizabeth Warren<\/a> is going to be part of any conversation. I think in the final analysis, thats probably not a good match. The names that have popped up are fein is safe, i love shar rod brown. Ill throw out three names i would like to see considered anyway. One is tim ryan from ohio, represents the youngstown area, a young guy, smart as can be, very articulate, has very strong ties to labor unions, a lot of the same constituency that Sherrod Brown<\/a> has. And a brilliant guy and somebody passionate about a lot of the issues like gun violence that i think would resonate in this country. Finally, a real dark horse, thats tom wolf from pennsylvania, only in office for two years. He comes out of a business background, but somebody who could help carry a pivotal state and somebody who i think has the same kind of touch with average working americans that joe biden has. Id try to get those in the mix. Congressman, thank you for joining us this saturday morning. Appreciate your insights. My pleasure, ayman. Still ahead, voting in november, what the number of registered voters is revealing in a number of potential decisive states. vo on the trane test range, you learn what makes our heating and cooling systems so reliable. If theres a breaking point, well find it. Its hard to stop a trane. Really har trane. The most reliable for a reason. If you have afib not caused by a heart valve problem, pradaxa helps stop blood cells from pooling in the heart. Forming a clot. Which can travel to the brain and cause a stroke. Pradaxa was better than warfarin at reducing stroke risk in a study. In the rare event of an emergency, pradaxa has a specific reversal treatment to help you clot normally again. Pradaxa is not for people who have had a heart valve replacement. Dont stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. Stopping increases your risk of stroke or blood clots. Ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before any planned medical or dental procedure. Pradaxa can cause serious, and sometimes, fatal bleeding. Dont take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding. And seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising.

But the gop has gained more than 600,000 new potential voters over the past four years in those seven key states. Thats more than double the number of registered democrats.

Flonase anges everything. Welcome back. Im Ayman Mohyeldin<\/a> at msnbc headquarters in new york. Donald trumps stand on muslims has become a global concern. Londons new mayor, kahn, a muslim himself got a chance to speak with the newly elected mayor and Kelly Cobiella<\/a> joins us. A very interesting discussion with the mayor. What did he to tell you about it . Brief but insightful. He talked about everything from family trips to disney land to his election over the past couple months. But inevitably the topic of conversation came back to election in the United States<\/a> and donald trump and those calls for a temporary ban of muslims coming to the United States<\/a>. The mayor is the son of a bus driver and seamstress, both immigrants from pakistan. He w is a muslim, elected by a landslide. His said his opponents took a page streit out of Donald Trumps<\/a> playbook and he said it didnt work here. He told me hed like to meet donald trump despite all that and said he would welcome him to london. I didnt decide to stand for office to be Donald Trumps<\/a> nightmare. The point id make to donald trump and those advising him is i think your views on islam are ignorant. There is a case that there are a small number of criminals, terrorists who do really bad things and really horrible things and seek to justify their acts of terror in the name of islam. But the vast, vast, vast majority of muslims, not just in london but around the world are peaceful, law abiding. They love being muslim. Many of us love being western. Many of us love americans. He also called this a risky strategy and said the risk is you end up alienating mainstream muslims who believe that others believe you cant be western and muslim at the same time. Ayman, mayor khan has made no secret of his support for Hillary Clinton<\/a>. He reiterated that to me. He said hes a feminist and told me the first female president of the United States<\/a> would set a good example for his two daughters. A very interesting conversation, ayman. Im sure well hear more from him in the coming months. I know, kelly, the united kingdom, particularly london has been concerned about the issue of radicalization that has plagued europe in some major ci cities. Has the mayor discussed how he plans to address the issue of radicalization in london . He didnt give the specifics in terms of the plan. Youre fairly well read on this, there are several different avenues that politicians have tried to take in terms of fighting radicalization in london. Some of them involve the government services. Some involve outreach programs. What mayor khan said is we need to set good examples, have positive role models for kids who are being approached by sympathizers of isis so they can see someone who is mainstream, who is in government, who has power, who is able to make changes for people who maybe dont have the advantages of others so that they see you dont need to go the path of radicalization, so theyre not tempted to buy into the kinds of ideas that recruiters are trying to sell them. Thats really his idea. He also said hes very open and willing to work with u. S. Politicians in fighting this, but no direct plan as yet, ayman. Kelly cobiella, live in london, appreciated that. Thanks, kelly. Bernie sanders is in kentucky amid mounting pressure to drop out of the race. This comes despite new polls out of florida, ohio and pennsylvania showing him beating trump in a general election matchup. One of the arguments by democrats is that trump will try to capitalize on comments sanders has made against Hillary Clinton<\/a>. Joining me now is former ohio state senator nina turner, she is a Bernie Sanders<\/a> supporters. Thank you very much, nina, for joining us this morning. Thanks, ayman. What do you make of the concerns that trump will try to appeal to some of the same independent and economically frustrated voters that Bernie Sanders<\/a> has been able to make inroads with over the primary season . This is a disruption election. Were seeing it on both the left and the right, that people are tired of business as usual. What we see with senator sanders compared to mr. Trump is that senator sanders is preaching a gospel of hope, talking about p uplift, whether the 15 minimum wage, paid family and medical leave, whether its investing in our young people with universal college paid tuition and universal health care. Theres a different message coming from both camps. We should not dill lewd ourselves on the left tore right, people are upset and they want to see disruption. When i say disruption, it doesnt have to be in the form of violence. But people are tired of business as usual, tired of the status quo. Senator sanders told Andrea Mitchell<\/a> earlier this week not to moan about clintons problems. He feels the deck has been stacked against him by the Democratic Party<\/a> at all levels throughout this campaign season. What makes the Sanders Campaign<\/a> so certain that superdelegates will come on board if they havent done so at this point in the race . Well, unfortunately superdelegates made their decision even before senator sanders got into the race or governor omalley for that matter early on. This is about whether who is the strongest candidate to go headtohead with the Presumptive Republican<\/a> nominee, which is mr. Trump. It has been senator sanders consistently. That has not changed. You talked a little bit about the battleground states. Ohio is my state, for example, where mr. Trump beats the secretary by large margins. If you reverse that, senator sanders beats mr. Trump. So this is not only about the presidency, this is about the state legislatures, this is about governors mansions, about secretaries of state. This is about making sure the democrats win up and down the ticket. Because one great president cannot change this thing alone. It takes teamwork to make that dream work. Senator Bernie Sanders<\/a> has the energy, has the momentum. We look at millennials, we look at independents, he has that group of people. He will bring that excitement that will carry beyond the president ial office. Lets talk a little bit about concerns that Bernie Sanders<\/a> might cost the democrats the election if he follows through with his refusal to get behind Hillary Clinton<\/a> if he loses the nomination. Given the fact hes built such a huge following, huge support base, if he doesnt support her and his voters dont do that, is that going to cost the Democratic Party<\/a> the election . The senator has said that he will make it his business that, if he is not the nominee, to defeat mr. Trump. Right now it is unfair to ask senator sanders or any of his supporters to talk about secretary clinton being the nominee when were working very hard up until the last voter to make sure senator Bernie Sanders<\/a> is that nominee. I have no doubt those progressive principles hes standing for, that hes fighting for, will be front and center. Senator sanders has never been a ga along to get along of fish. Hes fighting the grain, upsetting the apple cart in a very positive way. Hes saying to americans that you will have in him a champion that will say boldly that the working poor, middle class in this country deserve better than what they have been getting and policymakers need to stand up to them for a change. Were going to continue to fight for senator sanders to win that nomination and well see what happens on the other end . Does he have it in him for a floor fight in the convention, if states like california and new jersey dont go his way . That remains to be seen. Senator sanders has continuously said hes in this to win this. Thats his focus. We fully expect to be very competitive in california. The goal is to win california and go into the Democratic Convention<\/a> with the most pledge delegates. If he and the secretary are very close, we know the superdelegates will make the final decision, and we are going to fight for his right to be fight for him to be that nominee. Hes not giving up. Hes not giving up at all. He has said the climb is steep. We know that. We know the path is narrow, but there is a path, and senator sanders is no stranger to working hard and to climbing up a steep mountain.

A new study by the Tax Foundation<\/a> estimates that nationwide, the legalization of pot could raise 28 billion in federal, state and local taxes each year. The researchers say that tax wind fall could be even bigger. Colorado, for example, is on pace to rake in 140 million in taxes this year, doubling initial estimates.

Frustration is growing over the extremely long security lines across major city airports. With traveling increasing in the coming weeks and months, a new action plan has been announced in hopes to cut the gridlock by the tsa. Nbcs tom costello explains. Here is the start. Lets see how long this thing is. The cell phone video from Midway Airport<\/a> says it all. A security line stretching for hours. Guess what . Its just getting started.

Donald trump may have trouble unifying republicans, is he facing a time run ch to come up with at least 1 billion to finance his campaign . A veteran republican fundraiser joins us next. I have asthma. One of many pieces in my life. So when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my longterm control medicine. I talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospilization in children and adolescents. Breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled coicosteroid. Once your asthma is ll controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not take breo more than prescribed. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. Ask your doctor if 24hour breo could be a missing piece for you.

Youre real . Yeah. With discover card, you can talk to a real person in the u. S. Day or night.

It may come as no surprise to you that Bernie Sanders<\/a>. In fact, a new gallup poll bears that out. 55 hold a favorable opinion of the vermont senator. 22 hold similar opinions of dovnldz trump. The thing im going to do is make sure the middle class gets good taxes tax breaks. For the wealthy, quite frankly, i think its going to go up. You know what, it should go up. Donald trump has backtracked somewhat from that comment on taxes, its not likely to help his standing among millionaire, a new survey taken shows Hillary Clinton<\/a> as the top among those surveyed. 31 favor trump. The survey is skewed more republicans than national polls. The top issue, foreign policy, political gridlock and taxes. Former Vice President<\/a> dan quayle and former House Speaker<\/a> john boehner are the latest to throw their support behind donald trump. It comes after the highly anticipated meeting with paul ryan and rnc chair Reince Priebus<\/a>. And at the time of mounting pressure on speaker to endorse the presumptive nominee, heres what Speaker Paul Ryan<\/a> told reporters following that meeting. I do believe that we are now planting the seeds to get ourselves unified. To bridge the gaps and differences. So from here, were going deep entire the policy areas to see where that Common Ground<\/a> is and how we can make sure that were operating off the same core principles. Yes, the first meeting, i was very encouraged with this meeting. But this was a process, it takes a little time. You dont put it together in 45 minutes. Its very important that we dont fake unifying. That we tonight pretend unification, that we euna fieshgs so that were full strength in the fall. Joins me now is barry quinn, hes a prominent fundraiser who supported jeb bush for president but is undecided about supporting donald trump for president. Thank you for joining us. Let me get your take on what you gleaned from the House Speaker<\/a>s comments on what it looks like from that press conference we just played sound bites from. Well, i really dont think Donald Trumps<\/a> problems are whether or not the speaker is going to be enthusiastically supporting him. It certainly helps and i think the biggest mountain he has to climb and he has to climb it very vast is that Hillary Clinton<\/a> is going to have 1 billion to 2 billion in her campaign. Hes got the organization that shes built over years to enable her to do that. Hes run an unconventional campaign. He didnt go out and raise money. Typically, by this time, a president ial candidate has a fairly big and structured network on his finance team. And Donald Trumps<\/a> going to have to do that very, very quickly. The good news for him is, i think people will be receptive. I think if he or his campaign makes the call to the prospects and the suspects who typically would help build the organization i think theyll be receptive. I think theyll be wanting to help. Whether help because of his positive ideas or because they feel like Hillary Clinton<\/a> is corrupt and needs to be stopped but one way or the other, i think these people can be motivated very quickly. The problem really is, a contest like this is like a war. Youre going to have to have an army. Its hard to build an army over a few weeks particularly when your opponent has been building it over many years between march of 2014 and 2015 clinton was paid 92 million by 19 institutions to give a speech. Thats an organization that provides a foundation for her to build a finance network. Donald trump doesnt have that. The good news is, i think he can do it. The bad news is time, he has to do it incredibly quickly. Despite also meeting with congressional leaders on thursday, he met with the Senate Leadership<\/a> as well as the house leadership. Donald Trump Says Party<\/a> unity isnt necessary for him to win. Do you agree with that . How crucial is it for him to get congressional support, especially from Party Leaders<\/a> . Right now if you look at the european odds on the president ial election shes about a 2 to 1 favorite over him. I believe if he had the network in place to raise 1. 5 billion to 2 billion towards the campaign i think it would be dead even. I think his problem is not important paul ryan enthusiastically supports him and how quickly he supports him. The main mountain he has to climb is raising the money. I dont think he can just use twitter or count on friendly press questions as he did in the primary to win this election. Going to have to be done somewhat in the ready toal orthodox way. Hes going to have to have a financial team. Trump and rnc are set to kick off a massive fundraising plan to raise 1 billion. Oil baron t. Boon pickens is among those. And is that the kind of boost hes going to need and hes going to need more of it . And is that just a drop in the bucket, do you think . How big of a boost is it . Its certainly helpful, but its really a drop in the bucket when youre talking about 1. 5 billion. Many of the hard dollars is 2700 a person. 5400 a couple. This requires hard work and a state chairman. A state like california can raise a lot of money but youve got to have eight or ten cochairmen in that state to make it happen. So, again, i think hes starting well, hes got a good quick start with a couple of people. But were talking about building an entire national network. And it has to be done very, very fast. So, let me ask you very quickly before we run out of time, even if you dont end up endorsing trump, do you think youll help fund raise for him or plan out sitting out this election altogether . Oh, no, i dont think ill sit it out. Ive been talking to people who have been with romney campaigns or bush campaigns, theyll step up and help. They want to be asked. These people typically are in the arena, they like being in the playing field. Mr. Barry wynn, appreciate your insights. Thank you. That wraps up this hour of msnbc live. My colleague joy takes over.
