final white house correspondents' dinner, giving us in the media, the presidential candidates and himself the business before literally dropping the mike. good morning, i'm joy reid here in washington, d.c., on the day after nerd prom. as the stand-up comics say, obama killed last night. here are a few of his sharpest lines. >> if this material works well, i'm going to use it at goldman sachs next year. earn me some serious tubments. for example, we've got the bright new face of the democratic party here tonight, mr. bernie sanders. bernie, you look like a million bucks, or to put it in terms you'll understand, you look like 37,000 donations of $27 each. ted had a tough week. he went to indiana, hoosier country. stood on a basketball court and called the hoop a basketball ring. what else is in his lexicon? baseball sticks, football hats. but sure, i'm the foreign one. they say donald lacks the foreign policy experience to be president. but in fairness, he has spent years meeting with leaders from around the world. miss sweden, miss argentina. >> here with me in washington, d.c., dana milbank, jamal simmons and co-founder of crate.com and michelle bernard, president of the bernard center for women, politics and public policy. okay, you guys, the white house correspondents' dinner, i'm going to you, dana milbank as the official funniest member of our panel. give him a review. that's a lot of pressure. >> he aimed for that basketball hole and got nothing but fabric. >> that was good. >> yeah, i think he was terrific. okay, he doesn't write the speech, he just delivers. in the delivery you could see maybe he was kind of seeing some of those for the first time because he was laughing too. great speech. he has done that repeatedly in these environments. i think the whole spectacle is appalling, the way journalists suck up to the people we're supposed to be following, i boycott it. >> i only suck up to the celebrities so i except myself from your comment. jamal, one of the things that is great about the way the president delivers humor is that he's so delighted by his own jokes once he delivers them that he starts laughing. is he setting the bar so high that the next president literally has to bomb at their white house correspondents' dinner? >> i think in so many bways barack obama has set the bar so high for the presidency. the bush years. the clinton years, it's been relatively mild, no scandal, no real problem in the presidency, it's been a pretty ordered process. some of the things people get frustrated by the president because it seems so ordered and you get him for a night like this where he lets his hair down and gets to have fun and he looks like he's actually having a good time in washington, which he doesn't always look like. >> and he jokes about how much he and michelle obama really hate it. one thing i think is different that second term obama is that he is loosening up in a sense that he's such a stiff sort of person that when he does things like this -- i want to play president obama talking about cpt. when he plays with things like race, it's actually really effective. let's take a listen. >> i do apologize, i know i was a little late tonight. i was running on cpt. which stands for jokes that white people should not make. >> i mean only a black president could make that joke. >> or latino or native -- no, he not only sets the bar incredibly high for the next president but also comedians. a lot of the stuff that larry was saying wasn't connecting with the crowd. part of it because the warmup was so astounding. >> i think it was that and also because the differences that president obama was making fun of the process of washington and larry was making fun of people in the room. people in the room may not have had such of a sense of humor about it. i want to go about the appropriateness of the whole thing. you do have the president ridiculing the presidential candidates, including especially donald trump, and the sort of aspect of it that's ridiculed. do you think that that feels appropriate? >> you know, it actually feels completely appropriate to me because it wasn't offensive, it was actually funny. a lot of the jokes he tells i can't foresee, for example, that donald trump at least inside would not be snickering. last year's joke when he talked about john boehner and orange being the new black, it's not offensive, it is hilarious. and i, unlike dana, do not boycott it and don't find the whole thing appalling. i think it is a wonderful time to see the president as a real human being, not the staodgy fellow that you see delivering other types of speeches. this barack obama versus the barack obama who delivers the state of the union, they're both wonderful, but it's nice to see the man that the country fell in love with in 2008. >> and also lampooning some of the things about him that sort of raised controversy. i think it is interesting the commentary that president obama has on the version of barack obama republicans tried to create when he was running is actually some of his best material. let's listen to president obama talk about his approval ratings. >> despite all this, despite the churn, in my final year, my approval ratings keep going up. the last time i was this high, i was trying to decide on my major. >> he just doesn't care, it's president obama. >> he literally does not care. the president of the united states joking about being high, which is not something we would have expected from this president or many others. michelle referenced something that was great. the video of him with john boehner which i think was a warm moment where you see these two adversaries -- >> let's just play a little piece of it. a little bit of this great video with barack obama and john baner. >> i know who i need to talk to. hey, it's barack. listen, can we get together? now that is a great movie. >> yeah. >> that was kind of everything. >> it was fantastic. i think everybody in that room including boehner wished they had more movie nights together. >> michelle, the sort of real thing underneath that is there has been this critique that president obama does not like the process, does not like the washington piece of it, does not want to call republicans on the phone. but the reality is, is that barack obama and john boehner did not dislike each other necessarily, they were from two different political worlds, but that is interesting that's the figure that he chose to reach out to in that video and sort of fun moment. >> i think one of the reasons that he did it was think back, joy, to when john boehner decided that he was going to leave congress after meeting with the pope, even though i think he says that the pope was not the actual catalyst to get him out of there. at that moment in time, john boehner and barack obama i believe were completely on the same wavelength, which is washington, d.c., is so difficult and is so hard, and i think they could find a commonality in that. i was not surprised john boehner was the person that he reached out to. i would have been surprised if he had reached out to the person who yelled "you lie" during the state of the union address or jan brewer shaking her finger in his face. that would be horrifying to me. but i thought john boehner was completely appropriate. he could not wait to get out of town and i think barack obama will be very happy when he's on the other side of this. >> john boehner totally speaks for michelle obama on this. i have to do a quick lightning round because we ran out of time and didn't get into the larry i wilmore and controversy about the way his skit ended. the people were oh, no, you're not lampooning us. but the ending of that larry wilmore comedic sketch, what do you think? >> i thought larry wilmore was -- i typically enjoy his commentary on television. last night i thought he was pretty horrifying. i thought it was very difficult. i would not have liked to have been one of the journalists in the room that he was picking on last night at all. >> very quickly, dana. >> i think it fell flat. it's really a high wire act to do so. the president made it look easy. it's not. that's really well tested and it didn't work. >> i also think in other years when people would have gone after folks in the audience, people would have enjoyed the left levity of it but this political season has gotten so mean and people wanted to take a night off. >> he was very poignant when black people couldn't be quarterbacks on football teams and at the end he dropped the "n" word. >> when we come back, conservative columnist george will actually says republicans must keep donald trump out of the white house at all cost, wait for it, even if it means electing hillary clinton. before we go to break, more on what president barack obama had to say about the very absent reality stow show turned presidential candidate, donald trump, last night. >> i don't want to spend too much time on the donald. following your lead, i want to show some restraint. because i think we can all agree that from the start he's gotten the appropriate amount of coverage befitting the seriousness of his candidacy. if youthen you'll know howouth, uncomfortable it can be. but did you know that the lack of

privilege of flying higher and higher, together. ♪ you know i've got to talk about trump. come on. is this dinner too tacky for the donald? what could he possibly be doing instead? is he at home eating a trump steak? tweeting out insults to angela merkel? what's he doing? >> one thing donald trump was doing last night in addition to not taking his medicine from the president at the white house correspondents' dinner was pulling ahead in indiana. a new nbc news/"wall street journal marist poll has donald trump up by double digits over ted cruz. a win on tuesday could put trump closer to clinching the gop nomination. some conservatives are saying not only will they not support him, the republican party shouldn't either. exhibit a, "washington post" columnist george will who wrote it's the responsibility of republicans to keep trump out of the white house and focus on making president hillary clinton a one-term president. will adds, were he to be nominated, conservatives would have two tasks. one would be to help him lose 50 states. second, conservatives can try to save from the anti-trump undertow as many senators, representatives, governors and state legislators as possible. dana, maria, teresa, jamal and michelle are back with me. michelle, a, plausible? b, is that the right thing for a republican to ask fellow republicans to do? >> well, i'm going to separate out the part of the equation that deals with hillary clinton versus donald trump. you know, i have to say on this point i actually agree with george will. you know, there is a sentiment and a feeling that someone -- that all of us as citizens of this country have a moral obligation to make sure that we keep our democracy intact, no matter what. and this belief that you should support whoever the nominee is of your party just because of party politics and party loyalty has been wrong over and over again and i think the ascendency of donald trump absolutely shows this. it is not just conservatives, republicans, libertarians and democrats who view his candidacy and his prospect of being the next president of the united states as a complete danger. it is people all over the world. and in that centsense, i believ george will is right on target. that being said, the part of the equation where he talks about making sure hillary clinton is a one-term president, i think that's wrong. there is a difference between a hillary clinton and a donald trump. she is absolutely qualified to be the president of the united states and to do whatever you can to limit her to being a one-term president is really, i think, a very horrible thought and thing to try to do. rush limbaugh, you will remember early on in president obama's presidency, you know, said that he hoped the president would fail. other there were others in congress that wanted to make sure he was a one-term president. it was ineffective, it didn't work and all of those attempts to keep president obama a one-term president actually gave rise to donald trump. >> mitch mcconnell being one of the people who said that. >> and ted cruz also who ensured that he'd shut down the government and all of a sudden saying he did not do it. >> so on the one hand george will instructing the party to focus their entire efforts on trying to limit the next president's effectiveness, which is what they did to barack obama. but this other piece that seems to have -- >> but also helping break government at the same time by saying we want her elected for a one-term presidency. >> what do you make of the fact that this puts donald trump and reince priebus on the same side. reince priebus saying the party has to unite even if it's trump. so you have people like george will saying save the party and the head of the republican party saying, no, stick with the nominee. >> we're talking about two different things. george will is writing this more as a conservative than as a republican and saying donald trump is going to destroy the conservative movement. he's giving conservatism a bad name. my other conservative colleagues have said much the same thing. better for him to go down in flames, rebuild the party in more of a conservative way. now, reince priebus is being cheerleader for the party. he has disgraced himself from beginning to end here. he could have done something about trump, he didn't. the only thing left for him to do if and when trump gets the nomination if he wants to keep his dignity is to resign. >> strong words, but the question really is kind of what is the republican party. what is a party? is it just a place holder for the movement, in this case the conservative movement? or is it sort of an organization that needs to sort of continue breathing with somebody at the head of it, even if it's donald trump, a nominee many conservatives don't want. >> i think people in the democratic party wrestle with the same thing because you see so much energy for bernie sanders out there in the population but you've got this great vote for hillary clinton. at least on the democratic side hillary clinton is getting more votes. on the republican side donald trump is getting these votes but losing so many people across the rest of the political spectrum. the danger for the republican party and with george will's position is what happens to the senate raise, what happens to the congressional races. i just don't know that you can hold the party together down ballot if the top of threviled. >> the republican party is kind of two parties and they are kind of headless and do not have a leader. as a result it's allowing for these uprisings to happen. i think that there's permanent damage that's happened to the republican party. >> it's interesting to see people -- i want to play a little bit of mike pence who's considered both republican and conservative, movement conservative. this is him talking about donald trump. let's listen to mike pence. >> i particularly want to commend donald trump, who i think has given voice to the frustration of millions of working americans. >> i mean if it is a disgrace for reince priebus to have capitulated and handed his party over to a reality show star but what is that when an establishment/conservative movements do it. >> this is a very important time when conservatives and republicans are going to have to choose sides. this isn't where you say let's make the political calculation of what works better in november, their party has been taken over by a demagogue running on a platform of racism and bigotry. this is a moral choice and a lot of conscientious people like george will are saying i don't want to make that choice so i want to look for some other alternative. that's why you'll see people looking for a third party. >> and misogyny. 50% of republican women who say they don't want to be with this guy. >> and it's not just donald trump. ted cruz is quieter on the issues, but they're very, very aligned in the way they actually look at women, the way they actually speak about minorities. it's not that much different. and i think what we're seeing is we're seeing a realignment of the republican party that we saw similarly 100 years ago. the rising of demographics, shifting economics, shiand you' trying to realign yourself. no one is saying it out loud. >> my guests will be back later in the program. up next, we're going to treat you to a newsreel, as they say, of president obama's best lines from the white house correspondents' dinners of old during his first term. t looks r. volkswagen believes

when growth presents itself? realize your buying power at open.com so one of the benefits of this job is occasionally you just happen to run into people like historian doris kearns. that happened to me this morning and i asked doris when they would begin totaling up president obama's legacy. her answer, probably years. there's one thing we do know right now. president obama totally raised the bar for presidential funny at the white house correspondents' dinner. >> all this change hasn't been easy. change never is. so i've cut the tension by bringing a new friend to the white house. he's warm, he's cuddly, loyal, enthusiastic. you just have to keep him on a tight leash. every once in a while he goes charging off in the wrong direction and gets himself into trouble. but enough about joe

city's contaminated water system. the president's trip is in response to a special request from a flint resident. the 8-year-old girl back in march wrote the president to request a visit from him when she traveled to washington to watch rick snyder testify before congress. in her letter she said to the president i know this is probably an odd request but i would love for a chance to meet you or your wife. my mom says chances are you'll be too busy with more important things, but there are a lot of people coming on this buses and even just a meeting from you or your wife would really lift people's spirits. the president's reply was a little belated. he wrote her back this week with the news that he would be coming to visit with her. still with me are jamal simmons and michelle bernard. joining me is perry bacon jr. and flint activist melissa mays, founder of water you fighting for. i'm going to come to you first on this, melissa. your thoughts on the president coming. too late, a welcome visit, what are your thoughts? >> well, the community is frustrated because we've been calling out for help for nearly two years with this. and in january the president did go to detroit an hour away and did not come to flint. we need federal help because our state is not budging, not sending money, not giving us what we need to survive, so we've been waiting for this to happen. but we still have hope that change can be made when he comes. if he does actually talk to the residents and hear our cries, that's what we're hoping for. >> and you know, perry, and i'll ask you too whether you're surprised that he hasn't gone to flint before now but i want you to take a listen to the way that the president framed this visit when he spoke at the white house briefing on thursday. take a listen. >> i think it's also important for me to shine a spotlight on the fact that flint, although extreme, is not unique. that we have underinvested in some of our basic infrastructure that we rely on for our public health. >> i mean is this a trip about the specific, unique crisis in flint or a chance at highly bigger infrastructure issues. if it's the latter, i wonder if that's troubling. >> i do think he'll talk about flint is not the only city that has a lead crisis. a lot of cities in america have lead levels that are elevated in their water and problems can come from that. hillary clinton has said two things. she's been saying, one, this is not about flint but cities all over america. two, flint was particularly badly handled by the governor of michigan. three, she said this has indicated that this is a racial issue in some ways because of the fact that she's argued -- hillary clinton has argued this would not have happened in a majority white wealthy city. i'll be curious if obama talks about any of those three things. i was saying earlier he's not been to ferguson, he did not go to baltimore, he's kind of avoided these kind of situations in the past that have a racial element and a controversial element. i'm be surprised if he says -- i think he will talk about there are more flints, as he just indicated. but you want to see him talk about the community more and be more sympathetic. >> jamal, i am surprised by that. hillary clinton has been calling the mayor of flint every week and created a personal relationship with her. she's been to flint, bernie sanders has been to flint. it is surprising to me that this isn't seen as such an acute crisis, that it's like a katrina moment and president george w. bush didn't even have to go to new orleans. i don't know, if you can explain. >> one thing about the obama presidency that we've seen over time is he doesn't do the theater of the presidency as well as some other people might. he's running for office, he's a very good candidate. when he's governing, he kind of has a different hat on. i'm betting that when he goes to flint and part of the delay here is that he wants to bring some federal response that he can actually bring to bear. so why go when he has nothing to say. so he wants to go and bring a response at that people can rally around. >> and michelle, the reason he doesn't have anything to rally around is congress will simply not pass the money, the funding to address this crisis. they simply will not do it. you've had republican members of congress literally hold up the senate bill. you've had the house pass a bill that doesn't have in imoney for flint. the president really can't bring anything to flint because of the republican congress. >> he can't bring anything because of the republican congress in the sense that you just stated. but the president's presence in flint brings so much to bear and it's so absolutely important. you know, in a sense i really wish that he had gone to flint very early on, but something that i have observed about this president, particularly when we are dealing with issues that on their face most definitely appear to have a racial element to them is that he finds a way to address the issue but to address it indirectly. and i think that by responding to this young lady's e-mail, he has put a face on the problem in flint that i believe the american public, particularly those people who are nonblack, can appreciate the seriousness of what has happened in flint. it's sort of similar to the way he -- i believe it was trayvon martin that he spoke about and he said trayvon could have been my son or you remember the picture of the little boy, young african-american child who was visiting in the white house and the president bends over and the child is touching his hair and it's a way of symbolically showing to the world that this is an african-american president who understands the issues that affect this community. so we will see what he has to say. frankly, he has called out congress for their malfeasance on so many other issues, i'm hoping that he will do that on wednesday, because the american public, particularly in an election year, needs to know what to do and how to vote responsibly because there are flints all over the country. >> melissa, is that something that would be enough for you? you're living through this crisis. there are civil rights hearings being planned on whether or not this is a civil rights issue, but you're not african-american. this is a community that's black and white citizens that are suffering together. is it enough for you that this is now being looked at in the vein of civil rights when you're still drinking the water that is full of lead? >> that's the thing. there's all these hearings happening, all these people, charges happening, but our water is still contaminated. it's not just lead. before lead even got announced, we were dealing with cancer-causing byproducts and what they're putting in the water now to fix the lead problem is making those byproducts worse. so we're burning in our shower, our hair is falling out, skin rashes, we're in so much pain, asthma. we're suffering so bad from all these other chemicals and nobody is listening. yesterday morning we tested mari's house. her bawater is blue and burns yr eyes. we're trying to prove these pipes have to go. all of these band-aids, everything that's being done are not working and we're suffering. we cannot live safely in our own homes. we're no longer in an emergency or crisis, this is a disaster. we need the president to declare that so we can get medicare for everyone, health care because we need it because once people are diagnosed with lead poisoning or something else, there's nothing being done. we have no medical help for anyone. and it's really sad, because you find out this horrifying thing. well, we can't help you. then we need these pipes out because they are still poisoning us in every way. drinking it, cooking, breathing it, absorbing through our skin. we just need him and he's the one that can do it to declare us a disaster. >> and i think that is the most important points to make. hopefully the president will talk to people like you, melissa, and get that story out about flint before moving on to the bigger issues. coming up, the star of broadway's "hamilton" discusses the impact of puerto rico's growing debt crisis. how bad could it get before congress wakes up and does something about it? level of clean to it. it just

>> i don't accept the premise, it's not a bailout. what we're asking is the right to restructure this debt and get relief. >> you know, our island is certainly like -- you know, it's such a pretty, wonderful treasure and it's so sick right now. >> joining me now is the reporter on that piece, and back with me, dana milbank and maria teresa kumar. thank you for doing that really important piece. for those who have only seen that commercial that is now running on loop on a lot of cable stations saying don't bail out puerto rico, explain how the debt crisis in puerto rico unfolded and where they are as of today. >> well, what we're seeing is the impact of a decade-long recession there, so when you add to that the default deadline for monday in which the governor already says that the island cannot pay this debt to keep the island going, what we saw in puerto rico were people who are -- there's an underlying sense of melancholy but there's also a fighting spirit. people want to keep their island afloat. they want to keep -- they want to keep their schools open. they want to retain their doctors. what you're seeing is a mass migration to the united states. and that's really impacting the morale of the island and so that's what we saw while we were there. that you had these two competing emotions. >> sure. investors of hedge funds and 1%, right, the wall street kind of world wanting its money and puerto rico saying we just don't have it. the miranda family talk a little bit about the history on that island and why it was important for lin-manuel to be there. >> right. i think for the miranda family, lin has a large extended family on the island and so he had -- it's personal for him and that's what he told us. he said this is a very personal fight. and nothing has been done in congress. so, you know, a bill has been languishing to help puerto rico restructure its debt and that's something he wants to shed his light on, as he told us. >> and it's not unusual for debt restructuring to take place. super chapter 9 has been done before. it's been done for detroit and been done before. >> but i think sometimes folks don't realize puerto rico has a historical status almost as d.c. does, where it's taxation without representation. they are part of a u.s. territory so we are not talking about a foreign country, we are talking about a people very integrated into our history. and it's a complicated history. but the way that you said, yes, we restructured detroit, that's how the folks need to view it. it's an extension of an american territory. the fact that they are at the brink of default tomorrow and we are talking about it finally on national news talks really emphasizes how lost we are when it comes to addressing an issue of a folk that when the moment that they step foot here on u.s. soil are eligible voters immediately because they're considered citizens. >> we say, oh, but they are this percent of the composition of florida so that means something for electoral politics. but this has not been a story and this is impending literally tomorrow. >> what's appalling is they haven't even brought it up. it's not like they brought it up or voted it down. >> it's not coming up. >> miranda is as gifted an american as there is. he single-handedly saved alexander hamilton on the $10 bill, but fixing this congress may be beyond all human capacity. in fairness, they're complete low stymied on everything you mentioned. the budget, zika, the opioid problem. remember, there's a supreme court vacancy last i heard about it. they are unable to function on anything. and it's not just a matter of john boehner is out, paul ryan is in. nothing is happening on anything. crisis to crisis, it's just completely -- >> you want to talk about zika, zika is on puerto rico. >> but the opening of cuban is going to impact the tourism in puerto rico so there is just layer upon layer. i think that this is actually a broader conversation. now, you have whole members of congress that have never governed before all of a sudden -- you're saying, wait a second, you have experienced this. >> let's say tomorrow congress per their history does not act. what happens to puerto rico? >> essentially the governor has already said he cannot pay this debt. he's not going to find money where they haven't had it before. >> what would be the consequences of that? >> essentially he'll keep the island running with the money they do have. he has to maintain order. police still have to return to work. teachers need to keep teaching the children that are there. so the island will keep running and that's his job. we'll see what he says tonight. he's going to address the puerto rican population today in an address at 5:00. we'll see what he has to say, but i think we'll all be watching. >> and what is the responsibility of the federal government, given the fact that puerto rico's status is as a u.s. territory? what is the fiduciary duty of the federal government to puerto rico? >> well, i think that as we pointed out, these are american citizens, right. so you saw domingo from the children's hospital explain this. he said if you're not dealing with it on the island, you have a lot of people going to the mainland and you will have to deal with it there. >> i think this is another conversation around -- you did the flint water crisis earlier. this is another conversation on race. who is more american and who do we value? even in the case of flint, for example, there were 1200 undocumented people that basically were asked to have i.d.s to get screen water. others when they were going to get water at local grocery stores, they were getting raided by i.c.e. so we have a governing system that is not addressing the needs of poor that happen to fall along racial lines. >> we're concerned when we're talking about defaulting ot federal debt so the fact they're hitting the snooze button isn't entirely surprising. >> i want to thank you for do that report and we have to thank our friends who plot you to us so thank you for doing this piece. coming up at the top of the hour, two days to go before the indiana primary and it's all about jobs, jobs, jobs. now, we're going to talk about the controversial endorsement that donald trump received this week and also we'll talk about trade in the next hour. stay with us, msnbc, the place for politics. , a flood of potential patients. a deluge of digital records. x-rays, mris. all on account...of penelope. but with the help of at&t, and a network that scales up and down on-demand, this hospital can be ready. giving them the agility to be flexible & reliable. because no one knows & like at&t. put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher, brighter denture every day. customer service!d. ma'am. this isn't a computer... wait. you're real? with discover card, you can talk to a real person in the u.s., like me, anytime. wow. this is a recording. really? no, i'm kidding. 100% u.s.-based customer service. here to help, not to sell. what was interesting about boehner's comments is he praised hillary clinton, he thinks she's terrific, and he praised donald trump. he said donald is his friend, he's his texting and golfing buddy. listen, donald trump and hillary clinton and john boehner are all -- they are the washington cartel. it is the corruption of washington. >> that was senator ted cruz on nbc news "meet the press" this morning adding to this week's colorful rhetoric two days before the indiana primary. i'm joy reid live in whi
