Staff for their service. Young american children, young cuban children, by the time theyre adults, our hope is that they think its natural that a u. S. President should be visiting cuba. They think its natural that the two peoples are working to the. Their future is what we work for so hard, and im so grateful to all of you for making it happen. Thank you very much. Thank you. The first family went on a walking tour around old havana in what was clearly pouring rain. They visited the historic havana cathedral and later had dinner at the privately owned San Cristobal restaurant, a symbol of the communist nations growing private sector. The trip was not without controversy on either side of the caribbean. From what it means to be a cuban dissident to the president s reception by the cuban government. Its very chic, its very chichi for leftists to celebrate vicious communist dictators. My father fought in the cuban revolution. My father was imprisoned and tortured as a teenager by batista. And my aunt was imprisoned and tortured by castros goons. Now when president obama is in cuba, you know who hes not going to meet . Hes not going to meet the dissidents who were being tortured right now by raul and fidel castro. Who are being silenced for daring to stand up. Hes not going to meet the ladies in white. And so, when president obama is there with hollywood celebrities and rock musicians, drinking mojitos at the embassy, the Political Prisoners who are languishing are left behind by this president. President obama flew the 747 over to cuba today, and i dont know if you heard this, it just came out an hour ago, he landed in cuba, and raul castro, or fidel castro, but raul castro, whos the head of cuba, wasnt there to greet him. Folks, what are we doing . What are we doing . What are we doing . Can you imagine if i were in that position and i landed and nobody was there . They would say, donald trump must be incompetent to allow a thing like this to happen. The head of cuba, who was there for the pope, and he was there for other dignitaries that come in, but he wasnt there for the president of the united states. I mean, we are amateur hour, folks. Amateur hour. And honestly, obama should have turned the plane around and left. No, he should have. He should have turned it around. He should have said byebye. Well have much more coverage on the president s trip to cuba when Chris Jansing joins us live from havana on morning joe. Now, it was also an unsettling weekend on the campaign trail. Donald trump faced intense protests, including protesters in arizona blocking off the highway to one of his rallies. Cabling themselves to cars, and chanting shut it down. But, the trump campaigns actions at the highest levels also came under scrutiny this weekend. Nbc news Gabe Gutierrez has this report. Reporter this weekend, the anger boiled over. Are you pushing me . Reporter in tucson, a protester in a white hood escorted out by police. Another one, behind him, repeatedly punched and kicked by men in the crowd. That protester, brian sanders, spoke with nbcs jacob rascon. This Political Movement has gotten to the point where you may get beat to death inside of a rally. I just got my [ bleep ] kicked. Reporter but its this video thats raising even more questions. Trumps Campaign Manager, Corey Lewandowski appears to grab the collar of another protester whos yanked away by a member of trumps private security. Trump strongly defending him. Security at the arena, the police were a little bit lax. And he had signs, they had signs up in that area that were horrendous. I will give him credit. Reporter last week a reporter from the conservative website breitbart filed a Police Complaint accusing lewandowski of assault. But hes not been charged. The longtime gop operative once took a break from politics to work as a New Hampshire state police officer. Its very unusual. Unprecedented for a Campaign Manager to be out in the crowd, being involved in security. Trump had more to say yesterday, condemning his media coverage. We dont condone violence. But why arent they showing the klan outfit walking up the stairs . Why arent they showing that . And you had this this is a real supporter, this was an africanamerican man and a family that were there to listen to me speak. They couldnt hear me speak because of the commotion that was being made by a very few people. You know you talk about First Amendment rights and freedom of speech. You couldnt hear. And now theyre walking these two people out, the klan outfit is still on the one person. And this man became incensed that somebody would wear a ku klux klan outfit and did some swinging. Okay . Again, i say it for everybody, especially for the media, we dont condone violence. Why didnt they show that . All it showed was this wonderful i mean, because i hear hes a very, very fine guy, this wonderful africanamerican man swinging, swinging, swinging, and nobody knows why he did it. And i think its very, very unfair. How come a group of people is allowed to use horrible language, hold up horrendous signs, scream at the top of their voice, close roadways, close an entrance to a facility that i rented so its my facility for the day, i mean, theyre not supposed to even be in it, okay . How come were the bad people all the time . Okay. What about the people that are using horrible profanity, horrible words, and closing up highways . Why are they never the bad people . Its an incredible thing. Now Donald TrumpsUnconventional Campaign is making some conventional moves today. Trump is heading to capitol hill to meet with two dozen influential republicans at a nearby law firm, according to the washington post. The guest list is mostly unknown, though politico reports that senator tom kind of arkansas will be there along with senator Jeff Sessions of alabama who endorsed trump last month. Robert costa reports that antitrump super pacs will be staking out the meeting for footage of republicans who attend. Watch out if youre going. This as republicans take part in a 100day dash to halt trumps march to the nomination. Good luck with that. And as planning begins on an alternative ticket should they fail. The Weekly Standard editor bill kristol is circulating a memo suggesting potential third party candidates, including former u. S. Senator tom coburn, and expresident ial candidate rick perry. Coburn, according to the new york times, has privately considered a bid but says he doesnt expect to be the candidate. Meanwhile, perrys former Campaign Manager says the governor wants the gop to unite around senator ted cruz, whom he has endorsed. And today, nearly all of the remaining president ial candidates are scheduled to speak to the American Israeli Public Affairs committee known as apac. Hillary clinton, john kasich, ted cruz, and donald trump will all be in washington today addressing an expected crowd of 18,000. Wow. Several groups are expected to protest trumps remarks this evening. With a group of rabbis planning a walkout after he is introduced. While others are advocating a less disruptive boycott than the rabbis i guess. Despite his typical offthecuff style politico reports that trump has quote taken input from a number of very significant jewish influences who have reaffirmed to him the importance of this particular speech. Trump has said he would like to broker a deal between the israelis and palestinians. Something he says his speech will address. I think making a deal would be an issue of interest. I tell you what, i dont know one jewish person that doesnt want to have a deal. A good deal. A proper deal. But a really good deal. Define a good deal. Well, ill define that tomorrow, because ill be defining it tomorrow. Im not going to define it now. Im going to define it tomorrow. But we would like to see, and everybody would like to see a real deal being made. Not a deal thats going to be broken. A real deal being made. Something that can be lasting. Now Hillary Clinton is scheduled to address the apac conference just before 10 00 a. M. Eastern this morning. Meanwhile the only president ial candidate not attending the event happens to be the only one who is jewish. John kasich no just kidding. Bernie sanders. The senator told apac in a letter that his schedule conflicts prevent him from going. Instead his Campaign Says hell deliver a major Foreign Policy speech today in utah. Ahead of those remarks sanders sent out a flurry of tweets about the war in iraq, a topic hes repeatedly used to criticize clinton all cycle long. Quote, in 2003, i voted against the war in iraq. It was a hard vote to cast when so many were calling for war. Quote, unfortunately what ive predicted at the time about the destabilization of the region came true. Quote, americans need a president who will think about their future ten, 15, 20 years down the line. Someone with judgment. Senator sanders had a busy weekend out west, as several states in that region hold votes tomorrow and this weekend. Ahead of tomorrows arizona primary, sanders visited the u. S. mexico border in that state before holding a rally in phoenix attended by over 3,000 people. He then traveled to Washington State which caucuses on saturday and turned out more than 7,000 people to an event yesterday in the city of vancouver. Not the one in canada. After that he held a massive rally in seattle where he addressed a crowd of more than 10,000. And his day ended in spokane where he spoke in front of another huge audience. This one between 7,000 and 9,000 people. Meanwhile heres what he had to say about his opponent earlier in the day. We need real change in this country, and between you and me, i do not believe that real change is going to come from a candidate like secretary clinton, who receives millions of dollars from wall street. Who receives who has a super pac that receives 15 million bucks from wall street, money from the fossil fuel industry, money from the drug companies. Clearly not laying off the charges there. Now speaking of money, february fundraising totals have been released by the spains and once again sand erz outraises clinton. In february the Sanders Campaign reported raising a whopping 43. 5 million. Compared to just, just, over 30 million for clinton. Just 30 million. But the Sanders Campaign also outspent its opposition. Meaning it entered the month of march with less cash on hand than team clinton. Over the weekend, Senate Majority leader mitch mcconnell, this is on Supreme Court now, tried to shut down the idea that merrick garland, president obamas nominee for the Supreme Court, would be confirmed during a lame duck session. The same time minority leader harry reid expressed doubt that the republican blockade of the nomination would hold up. The senates not doing nothing during this election season. But were not giving a lifetime appointment to this president on the way out the door to change the Supreme Court for the next 25 or 30 years. Its not the person. Its the principle. Who ought to make this lifetime appointment . Its the next president , not this one. I dont know why mcconnells done this to the senators. Hes marching these men and women over a cliff. And i dont think theyre going to go. Well he said were not going to meet with him. Were not going to hold hearings. Were not going to have a vote. But that facade is breaking as we speak. We now have about eight or nine senators who said oh, yeah, i guess we will meet with him. Seems like theyre close to an agreement there. Turning abroad, another morning, another Missile Launch from north korea. Just in pyongyang has fired five shortrange missiles in to the east sea. By embassys count that makes 15 different projectiles on four different dates, just since last month the launches are a protest to joint drills between the u. S. And south korea. Meanwhile, investigators in belgium continue to question newly captured suspect in the last novembers paris terrorist attacks. According to belgiums foreign minister Salah Abdeslam may have been planning another attack. Believed to be the last surviving attacker he was arrested on friday during a raid in brussels after months in hiding. Belgians Justice Minister said yesterday that abdeslam will make an initial Court Appearance on wednesday. Were also learning new details about the night of the paris attacks, and the depth of their preparation. According to the new york times, which says it has seen a police report, the ten members of the isis team behind the attack never sent a single email or text message to each other, but made heavy use of disposable cell phones. Inside the concert hall, the attackers reportedly stole phones from hostages and used them to call police and access the internet. The times also reports that witnesses described orange sneakers worn by one of the attackers. Those distinctive shoes helped Police Identify abdel hamed abaaoud the suspected ring leader of the paris attacks.
