11:00 am
my name is oluseyi and some of my favorite moments throughout my life are watching sports with my dad. now, i work at comcast as part of the team that created our ai highlights technology, which uses ai to detect the major plays in a sports game. giving millions of fans, like my dad and me, new ways of catching up on their favorite sport.
11:01 am
in moments, what to make of trump's and some migrants are not people and for the bloodbath for the auto industry if he loses. our political contributors will join me straight ahead. ht ahea good day to all of you here from nbc in los angeles. let's go to decision 2024. two big headlines at this hour.
11:02 am
the reelection campaign announcing more than $53 million raised in february. the president is holding st. patrick's day events in the white house today. this while donald trump ramping up dark red or at a rally for a republican senate candidate in ohio yesterday making references to migrants, january 6th, quote, hostages and what might happen if he gets reelected. >> if this election is not won, i am not sure you will ever have another election in this country. does that make ends? i don't think you will have another election in this country if we don't win this election. >> the reaction from republicans on the hill. his rhetoric casting january 6 defendants as hostages and patriots. >> he did not call for the storming of the capital. you would end he would have very strong emotional feelings.
11:03 am
>> other hostages or patriots? >> i don't believe they are hostages. i believe in our judicial system. >> many times if you plead guilty, obviously, you're no patriot. you are somebody who committed a criminal act. breaking news on the israel- hamas for as they negotiate for the first time since the start of ramadan. netanyahu going on the offensive after u.s. leaders criticized his handling of the crisis in gaza. >> the problem is once they are getting it, they are eluded by hamas. >> there is famine, starvation, dehydration because israel has not allowed food and humanitarian assistance to go
11:04 am
in. people dying from a lack of food. >> all of these new developments for us and let's go to allie at the white house first of all. what are we hearing from the biden administration about this today? >> reporter: we heard from national security spokesman as he made the rounds on the show this morning. giving plans for a ground invasion of rafah that prime minister netanyahu signed off on a few days ago. they said that the u.s. is still not seen those plans but would welcome the opportunity to do so. he once again stressed how the u.s. wants to see a robust plan by the israelis to protect and d-back rate more than $1 million city into have been sheltering in rafah before any sort of ground invasion would begin.
11:05 am
the effort by the u.s. military to build a floating peer to deliver directly more humanitarian aid into gaza. listen. >> this is called joint logistics over the shore. it a temporary floating, dock if you will that is transported in pieces. the first pieces are on the way now. it's going to probably take about 6 to 8 weeks or so for all the places to become operational. we are working with partners in the region to figure out the details of how the material will be secured, on and off the floating documents. howard will be distributed inside gaza. >> this effort comes as we continue to see the war in gaza continue to be a political phone or ability for the president as his reelection campaign kicks into high gear.
11:06 am
following him really wherever he goes. according to sources familiar with the january meeting at the white house. the president and his top aides. he was, quote, seething one told that his poll numbers in georgia and specifically michigan had dipped over his handling of the israel-hamas war. think about the uncommitted vote movement during the michigan primary late last month. activists are one in the us is a much more widespread effort across to a battleground states. certainly a concern for this white house for the president pacifically as he continues to travel at ross the country. his travel really kicking into high gear with a trip out west to arizona and nevada happening later this week. >> thanks for all of that group let's go there now from ohio. the day after a trump senate candidate rally. that high-stakes senate race in ohio in november could
11:07 am
determine what the republicans control in the senate. you are on the ground there. what's going on? >> reporter: this is a high- stakes senate race which is why there is so much effort being put into this mary. the dynamic that we are seeing here in ohio is alert to what rears being with the republican party since trump took the political arena in 2015. that's the trump wing of the party versus the old guard. first we have bernie marino. not a politician. he was a businessman endorsed by donald trump who was here yesterday rallying to get out the vote to support marino and he represents this wing of the party. then someone named matt dolan, a state senator here in ohio. he got governor dewine's endorsement earlier this week. and he represents the most old guard wing of the republican party. then frank rose, secretary of state.
11:08 am
walking a tight road trying to appeal to both sides. when asked where he fits in, he says that what he represents is what an ohio republican is. something worth pointing out is that all of these three candidates have something in common, which is that they have all expressed to voters here in ohio that they will be supporting trump come november in the general election. the big question here is how impactful is the donald trump endorsement. the questions being asked up- and-down ohio. >> considering voting for bernie because i am a small business owner. need to actually run businesses. what we are spending money on. the fiscal policy. >> is a veteran. i'm a veteran. i support the veterans.
11:09 am
i like what he has for policies that he likes to put in place to make america more energy- efficient, to go back and put america first. i think they are all three great candidates but matt has the best chance of defeating brown. i think that is the most important thing. >> the big person who will be watching this race on tuesday. it donald trump. if bernie marino is able to pull this off in the sense of being the party's nominee, trump will be able to take credit for getting him here. if he does not, the question becomes how impactful really is a trump endorsement? >> very good points. all of them. emma barnett from cincinnati. let's go to the legal challenges facing donald trump or the new york times says installing, a time-tested legal strategy that keeps working for him. in eight days, he will get a motion on dismissing the hush
11:10 am
money charges. documents between trump, alvin bragg and the southern district of new york and we are joined by a former brooklyn new york prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst and host of the podcast. welcome, my friend. charles, you previously worked for the brooklyn da. why is there suddenly a consequential fight with fdny over documents and can any of this take the manhattan das case against trump? >> what we know is that the doj tends to operate on its own timeline. when they provided all these documents, we knew this would be part of the case at this late state of the game. they have to be understanding that they will throw a wrench and what the prosecution was trying to do and accomplish. that being said, we don't know when they actually made the request. there was an agreement they have with the defense bar for
11:11 am
open file discovery which means you are not going to fight with the defendants about what you turnover. you pretty much give them everything that you have in your file that could possibly be relevant. if they made these requests they knew that they had to be turned over, then alvin bragg's office had an obligation to get that. when they cooperated is the question that i ask. understood that this is such a high profile case, which they undoubtedly did. why would they have waited till this late stage in the game, anyway that would jeopardize the case in order to hurt alvin bragg? that the question that i have. that being said, i'm not surprised by trump's team's motion to dismiss. i don't think it will get that far. i think they will get a delay that will be help to them but also it's not going to take the case. >> that's good to hear. let's talk about the fulton
11:12 am
county election. friday, after drug mcafee's decision that he would not disqualify da willis. using freight is like order of mendacity and tremendous of judgment. potential untruthfulness. what is your assessment of not just the rolling but the language that was used and any potential impact it could have on her ability to now prosecute this case. >> i understand that this language was very, very strong and it was not favorable to fanny willis. here is the headline. she is the da on this case and is going to proceed. i think this is becoming a sideshow in no small part due to an unforced error on her behalf due to the decisions that she has made. at this point, with respect to the prosecution, all of that to be put behind her and she needs to move forward. this is what counts.
11:13 am
at this point, she's got to refocus our efforts and now trying to prosecute this case and hoping that the cross- contamination that has occurred not only with respect to this show and this prosecution has not jeopardized her ability to prosecute any more than the other prosecutors in other jurisdictions that are looking to hold him accountable. while this was not necessarily a pleasant opinion, at the end of the day, it's something that willis and her office will have to live with that allows them to go forward to the job that they were put in office to do. >> this washington article is pointing out that race is an ever present source of tension. not just threats and harassment against her. one of the senior deputies writing that we are both aware as african-american women. some find it difficult to treat disrespectfully. trump's lawyer said that it's offensive, uncalled for,
11:14 am
untrue. i want your view on what is going on out there. >> i'm so glad you asked this question. the intersection between race and gender in a professional space highlight the fact that no matter how hard you work if you're a woman, a black woman, there are certain things that you will have to navigate if you work. a white man, for example. there is a level of religion that is enjoyed here and that is simply undeniable for his accomplice and is respected an attorney as he may be to simply scoff and missed that. it's a level of privilege to overlook how this plays out in ways that he may not be with his own blind spots. trying to understand parts of what it is to be discriminated against, phase things that other people do not face. when you are not a part of a particular group you give that group the benefit of the doubt grade so if you're not a woman, you cannot necessarily tell a woman what is or is not sexism
11:15 am
if you have not necessarily experienced it. difficult to call something not racist if you are not the one who has ever experienced what racism actually feels like grade while i do wonder and or they may have been sort of offended by it is that at the end of the day, truly undeniable that willis has the reputation. with what's going on, it's very start fueled by white nationalism and the rhetoric of donald trump. look at his attacks on alvin bragg. look at his attacks on letitia james and fanny willis. and contrast to the things that he said about jack smith. they're attacking his professional acumen. the other is their humanity and qualifications. all of those things are rooted in white nationalism and speak to the very point that willis was making about that intersection of race and
11:16 am
gender. >> thank you for that well spoken reality check. i appreciate you and all of that. thank you, charles coleman. >> raking news from russia. numbers that you may not believe. plus it cost $7 million and it made a lot of people mad. ma. now the woman who helped pay for this rfk jr. campaign at might find her name at the top of the ticket here we are back in the seconds. seconds. that's a different story. i couldn't slow down. we were starting a business from the ground up. people were showing up left and right. and so did our business needs the chase ink card made it easy. when you go for something big like this, your kids see that. and they believe they can do the same. earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase
11:17 am
with the chase ink business unlimited card. make more of what's yours. breaking news, polls have just closed in russia's presidential election. vladimir putin posed to be rubberstamped into a race that moscow promoted as free and fair. fair.
11:18 am
many russians are staging protests against putin at stations today heeding the call of the late opposition leader alex novotny in one of his last public announcements. joining me now, former u.s. ambassador to russia and international affairs analyst michael mcfall. ambassador. it's good to see you, sir. explain why this vote matters. moscow has presented this election as some sort of a horse race tween putin and three other edited. the result was never in question. why does vladimir putin, who wields up the power silence virtually all the sand. why does he put on the charade that this election is free and fair. what does it say about how
11:19 am
secure he might feel in his position as russia's leader? >> today is just a tragedy for anybody who cares about democracy. back in the 1990s, i actually started my academic career writing about competitive elections when they were competitive in russia. they are not today. this is a complete joke. i do not even like to use the word election. you asked a different question. why does he do it? i went to them. i saw them. they want to appear to have the legitimacy that democratically elect leaders and real democracies have and that's why they go through the trouble to do these things. that said, though, he fears this election. he took the one guy off who was running on an antiwar platform. he was a very safe candidate and somebody blessed by the kremlin. yet, even when he began to talk about antiwar ideas, they decided they could not even risk having him on the ballot.
11:20 am
>> speaking of war, in his campaign, putin pledged to fulfill his goals in ukraine, saying that ukraine and the west will sooner or later have to accept a settlement on moscow's terms. will he view his victory is some sort of a referendum that all of russia is united and that the west poses some kind of existential threat to russia? what could his reelection man for how moscow moves forward in the ukraine war? >> this is what he wants people to believe. that's the result he wants from the selection. there are two problems with it. first, a lot of people showed up today at noon as he called them to do as you rightly pointed out. then his wife and their first political action as the leader of the organization's that show up at noon to show that we are together. tens of thousands of people did
11:21 am
inside russia where she is today. that's a bad sign for putin. it shows that not everyone does report the war. those statements when they were standing in line was anti-putin and antiwar. the second thing, putin needs more soldiers. he has been waiting to draft them until the election is over. i think he is going to struggle to get enthusiasm for people to go to work with him and sign up for the draft. waiting for that until after the election. i think we should see how well he does with those numbers. i would not be surprised if it is a struggle for him. >> give me a sense of seeing julie on the phone. i know she's a very dear friend of yours, as was alexi. you saw her right there at the consulate in berlin casting her vote. what do you think when you see her and her courage in the wake of her husband's death >> carrying on his legacy has asked she can?
11:22 am
>> honestly, i am in awe of yuliya and her family. i spoke to her the day that her husband was killed. that putin's regime killed her husband. she got on stage 30 minutes leader in munich to give what i consider to be her first political statement. she has now stepped into this role. it never a role she wanted, obviously, but she now understands that she has to carry the baton. she is doing it today. as we are seeing right there. she called on people to show up and they did. publishing a piece in the washington post calling putin a criminal, not a president. and i deeply admire what she's doing despite the fact that i know she is still mourning the loss of her husband. >> of yours, she is. with the numbers, the kremlin is hailing that the voter turnout has surpassed the 2018 number of 67 point 5%.
11:23 am
it was something around 73% today so far. it's a long shot to claim he has received more support than in previous collections which -- elections which would mean more than 56 million voters this time. you expect the kremlin to manipulate the results? >> yes, of course. the higher the votes -- when you have 87% and everybody shows up, that is more of a joke and when there's lower numbers. that to me underscores the fact that it is not a real election. this feels like the soviet days to me. this feels like elections in central asia in the early '90s and 2000's. when everybody voted for the dictators read and i find it ironic that putin and his people around him don't see it the same way. they used to, by the way. in their earlier elections, putin wanted competition so it
11:24 am
felt more legitimate. the hotter these numbers are -- i mean, we do not know the official numbers yet they are talking about them being higher than ever before. i think this underscores how you know i'm a falsified these elections were. >> can i just ask you to talk about the war with ukraine and how long you think this continues? how do you see this laying out? the extent to which these elections, whether the numbers are touched, manipulated, or not. how does this embolden putin in his approach to ukraine? >> number one, it emboldens him. he now thinks he has a mandate and he will be able to draft those soldiers that he did not want to do before. number two, he is emboldened by us. let's pick here. this absurd debate that we've been having now for months about whether dividing aid to ukraine or not, that and pulled sam. -- emboldens them. if you want to send a message that you disagree with this election outcome and the
11:25 am
killing of novotny and the slaughter of innocent civilians every single day in ukraine, i plead with speaker johnson, let your people vote. because we know that a majority in the house support that. that is what emboldens putin. and we have the power to send him a signal. we do not have the power to overthrow him in russia. let's be clear about that. we have a very concrete thing we can do to show our displeasure with this foreign policy and his domestic policy and that is to pass the aid bill to ukraine now. >> okay. former ambassador michael nick foley, your voice is always appreciated on these matters and thank you very much. what we know about the rfk jr. vp stakes. a woman who is looking like the top pick. top pick. ...without the stuff you don't. so, here's to now. boost.

11:29 am
there is reportedly a new top contender for robert f kennedy jr.'s running mate as
11:30 am
the candidate is set to announce his pick later this month in his longshot bid for the white house and at least one outlet just lawyer and democratic donor nicole shanahan is the one. and if you do not know her, you probably know the super bowl ad. take a look. >> joining me know, rebecca davis o'brien. welcome. i know your profile nicole shanahan. who is she? why would she be kennedy's top choice if the report is correct? can she answer the biggest question about being candidate, could she be president if needed? we will have to wait until march 26 for an official announced that prelim may also add to this. it was not the new york times that put out that nicole
11:31 am
shanahan was the person that was picked. with all of that said him and take it away. >> sure. this has been quite an odyssey last month, we reported that nicole shanahan was a primary source of funding and even creative and duration behind the verbal ad that was sort of a repurposed version of the jfk presidential ad from 1960. that shanahan is a bay area lawyer and an investor with science and technology startups primarily. she was married to one of the google cofounders. they were divorced last year. and she had been an early backer of bobby kennedy's presidential bid and she just answers after he left the democratic party. she told me last month that she has come back into the fold with the campaign in recent months and described one thing that she was very moved by.
11:32 am
she would go around and see pockets of support for him everywhere. she is very well can, very smart woman. young and charismatic and i think that makes in some ways a logical partner for mr. kennedy. even as an advisor or formal aid. so her alliance with the campaign makes sense to me. sorry, go ahead. >> but the question about could she take over as president of the united states? >> you know, we are sort of a few steps away from that group last week we reported that eryn rogers was also on his top ticket. and i think that you know i don't know if i'm in the right position to make that assessment, but you said, it's a long shot independent did and
11:33 am
they have confirmed that was among the choices with eryn rogers. not yet said that she was the one. >> you've mentioned the super bowl ad that she backed, putting in $4 million. offering creative guidance, as well. it was created without any involvement by the campaign. we should also know that much of the family does not support the campaign despite what he said, though. with the campaign have had to approve this ad? >> i do not think they could have. it was technically the super pack that put it out. i don't think the candidate had anything to do with it. if they did, that i have not heard about it. this is an independent effort
11:34 am
by one of several super pacs that is backing mr. kennedy's presidential bid. >> so one of the things that rfk junior is most known for is spreading false conspiracy theories about back pains. shanahan was asked about that and says i do wonder about these injuries. she said she is not an anti- back there but wants more screenings of risk for vaccination and says there needs to be space to have these conversations. is kennedy looking for someone to soften his stance on that but also a candidate who cannot realistically win? i am curious, what are his goals here? >> that's a really interesting question. he is trying to thread a very challenging needle, i. he has a strong base of supporters which is one of the reasons he has gotten this far in the campaign. very animated, supportive, base
11:35 am
of people who have followed him. in some cases, for a decade since he was an environmental lawyer and she has to appease them to some degree. receipt in social media. there is richer for him to choose somebody who is in the community of science skeptics. people who are mistrustful of the scientific consensus and antiestablishment. at the same time, he has to make a gesture towards the broader american voting base. right? he has to choose someone who could appeal to people beyond that pace. he faces the same challenges that any candidate does. a and his goal is to find -- to pick somebody who is faced with support because he needs that to continue but also, who has appeal beyond the base and can sort of bring people's ears up.
11:36 am
i would note that it helps to have money. she has money. helps support his campaign. it's not a coincidence that two of the topics have some substantial personal wealth. >> rebecca davis. good to see you. >> thank you so much. take a deep breath, everyone. we are unpacking trumps latest comments on the campaign trail and republicans are debating the context. we've got more coming your way next. next. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. ask about nurtec odt.
11:37 am

11:41 am
new and growing outrage today's trump wraps up the rhetoric in battleground, ohio with this message for january 6th convict. >> thanks very much. received the spirit from the hostages. that's what they are. hostages. they've been treated terribly and very unfairly and you know that and everybody knows that. and we will be working on that. the first day we get into office, going to save our country and how people treat those unbelievable patriots. they were unbelievable patriots and art. >> joining me now is political columnist and host of the podcast with friends like these. anna marie cox and staff writer of the atlantic. welcome to you both read mark,
11:42 am
trump also said that there's going to be a bloodbath if he is not reelected while talking about the auto industry. what do you make of these comments? >> it's more of the same. there's been a lot of these things over a long period of time. not a lot for moving the needle and pulling and so forth. seems to be waiting for the long haul. if you think about the hostages on the january 6th writers line, that tells me that he will probably pardon the monday one. if you try to make sense of what he was saying sentence to sentence, that's what that says. a lot of questions. i don't know how democrats message around this given everything that they have to work with. that's kind of essential challenge. there was so much inflammatory rhetoric. look, january 6th was -- you
11:43 am
know, he could have pardoned all of them in the 14 days after he had january 6th. where do we go from there? but anyway, it's a whole lot of whatever you call it, more trump, more trump as them, bedlam, madness, what have you? that's what democrats are running against and frankly, it's a deadlock right now. >> i want to replay for you with some republicans have said about trump's comments and get your take on the other side. here it is. >> as you know, he did not call for the storming of the capital. you would think that he would have very strong emotional feelings about the individuals who have been in jail and gone to prison over these. >> are the hostages? >> i don't believe they are hostages. i believe in our judicial system. >> a nation of laws. many times, they plead guilty. if you plead guilty, obviously you're not a patriot and you're
11:44 am
somebody who related -- committed a criminal act. >> how do you interpret what they're saying and what donald trump said? >> i think some ways, the ways that they're talking gives illicit commission structure for people to vote for trump anyway. just kind of understand what's really going on. then it's okay to vote this guy who says otherwise. if they really thought what trump was saying was problematic, they would continue to support him as president -- wouldn't continue to support him as president. i also want to point out in his context of his speech to the auto industry where he said bath. i think some people have been taking it somewhat out of context in order to make it a little bit more scary. but i also think that his reporters hear that word and take it out of context themselves if you know what i mean? i think that this end of violent rhetoric does really matter. the thing that i want to went out is that there has been blood spilled because of donald trump, both when he was a lack
11:45 am
that in 2016, and 2020 when he ran and even now, the fbi tractate time statistics and these things go up when his rallies are in full swing. we can't look at what he is saying and think oh, we are going to be accurate for this and we will say he was referring to the auto industry when i think we know how his reporters interpret these things. >> and democrats were anticipating the trump trials would have at least been in progress by november and now it looks highly unlikely that going to happen. what a reaction from democrats who say nothing but delay, delay, delay on trump's legal calendar? >> trump's lawyers believe this is good for them. they are not wrong. and the trial outcome, maybe if he actually goes to jail that will make a difference. but i think democrats really need to continue to message
11:46 am
around abortion rights and access to reproductive care. i think that is the number one issue that they have to take against trump. the thing campaigning against him personally as a danger to democracy. does not have quite the peel that i wish that it did. because it's been so severely curtailed. something that women in particular, but i want to point out, everyone feels the results of that. it's not just women who feel the results of lack of access to that. it's men, too and other people. everyone feels that. everyone is worried about it. that campaign will continue if trump is elected. >> in your latest piece for the atlanta, you question whether biden should be running again and how the campaign is going. after trump's rally yesterday and then you also have your concern about biden, how do you wonder about how we got here and why are voters still asking if biden should be running? is
11:47 am
it a done deal? >> it is a done deal. the question lingers. i don't think he has answered. that piece ran for the state of the union. and certainly in my estimation in the state of the union, that column is not operational anymore. no, just kidding. the numbers are joe biden's age, which is 81 and the poll numbers up in the 70s across the board including democrats and independents that don't want him to run again. that's not going away. it's going away in so much that democrats will have to ride him to the finish line and hope that's good enough. it doesn't mean they're happy about it. and some of that against biden with the low approval ratings that he has heard i think that's an ongoing problem. i think going forward there will be a lot less of that. the fact is the reason he is so
