>> miguel almaguer, thank you. rick heltebrake is the man who came face to face with christopher dorner when his car was hijacked. i began by asking how he was doing the morning after that or deal, and if he recognized dorner the moment he saw him? >> yes, i did. i was coming up camp road, side road off the highway, basically just out driving around, checking out my property, which is a pretty good sized boy scout camp that i run here. and i seen some law enforcement personnel in units in the area and it was kind of based on recent activity up here, kind of seemed like something was in the works. and i had gone down this road to check on my camp. i was heading back up the road, which is half a mile from the highway 38. christopher dorner came out of the snow -- out of the trees. i saw him right away. i saw a vehicle crashed behind him in the snow. he came up to me with his gun pointed at me and i stopped my truck, put it in park, raised my hands and he said, i don't want to hurt you. just get out and start walking up the road and take your dog, which is what i did. >> what was his demeanor? did he seem calm, panicked, angry? >> he was very calm. i stayed calm. it was a pretty serious situation based on recent events around here. wasn't a lot of panic. basically he told me what he wanted me to do, and i did it. >> did you see any other weaponry on him? obviously you said he was pointing the gun right at you. did he seem to have anything else on him? >> i couldn't tell if he had a sidearm or anything. i did see he was dressed all in camouflage. he had on a vest, some kind of ballistics vest with a lot of pockets in it, with like magazines for his rifle. i heard later that he was throwing smoke bombs so it could have been something like that in there, but they were full. there was a lot of stuff in there. he was dressed for action. >> what a harrowing ordeal for you. i assume you feel very lucky to have escaped unharmed. >> i was happy that he let me go and had me take my dog. and i've got to tell you, not more than ten seconds that have, i was walking up the road. that's when i heard a volley of gunfire. at that point, i bailed into the snow and hid behind a tree and called the local deputy up here on his personal cell phone, and told him what was going on. that's when everything started happening. i found out later what was happening with those gun shots. >> rick heltebrake, thank you for being here. we're so glad you're safe. thanks for sharing your story. >> thanks for having me. >> i want to turn to clint van zandt, former fbi profiler. as we understand it, christopher dorner was hiding out in a home across the street basically from the police command post. how can that happen? >> many times you do a search you search the area closest to the command post first. you put a mark on the house and say we already searched it. that could have taken place and dorner could have circled around, perhaps at night, come back inside that house and realized he then had a perfect view of law enforcement and the media as to what's going on. he didn't need a tv. he was able to look out the window and see the activity around him. >> you've called him one of the most dangerous individuals law enforcement has had to deal with in a very long time. thank you for your perspective. appreciate it. >> sure. passionate plea from president obama about gun control, among many other things, during his state of the union address. this as he hits the road today to rally support for his proposal. let's get to chuck todd. >> good morning, savannah. the speech was really a tale of two speeches. there was the traditional state of the union part of it. a speech that was filled, dominated by the economy and other familiar-sounding domestic proposals, but then it was an unusual, emotional ending to the speech. and it's that that will probably leave the lasting impression. >> they deserve a vote. >> reporter: an emotional refrain to end president obama's state of the union address, as the president invoked victims of gun violence in america. >> it is not a bigger government we need, but a smarter government that sets priorities and invests in broad-base. >> reporter: the economy, invoking a phrase he used a lot in 2012, the middle class. >> a growing economy that creates good, middle-class jobs, that must be the north star that guides our efforts. >> reporter: and taking a page from the last democratic president, bill clinton, by offering a laundry list of poll tested ideas. >> i'm announcing a launch of three more of these manufacturing house, and raise the minimum wage to $9. make high-quality preschool available to every single child in america. a new college score card that parents and students can use. i propose we use some of our oil and gas revenues to fund an energy security crisis. >> reporter: mr. obama adopted a tough tone throughout his address. >> let's set party interests aside and work to pass a budget that replaces reckless cuts with smart savings and wise investments in our future. let's do it without the brinkmanship that scares off investors and stresses consumers. >> reporter: the night's emotional moment, the president's call for congress to at least vote on serious gun control, invoking the memory of gun victims like hadiya pendleton, a 15-year-old girl who performed at the president's inauguration and one week later was shot and killed in chicago. >> hadiya's parents, nate and cleo, are here tonight, along with two dozen families whose lives have been torn apart by gun violence. they deserve a vote. gabby giffords deserves a vote. the families of newtown deserve a vote. the families of aurora deserve a vote. the families of tucson and the countless other communities ripped open by gun violence, they deserve a simple vote. >> not your typical ending there to a state of the union. republican response given by florida senator marco rubio gave the impression about how hard it's going to be to pass. combative speech, filled with a personal story, but somewhat combative. >> and both sides laying claim to being advocates for the middle class. substance aside, there is a moment in rubio's speech where he reaches for a swig of water. >> it was a jarring moment. we were taken aback, watching. but it was somewhat jarring. he, himself, sort of made fun of moment. he has tweeted out the fact that he maybe -- someone joked he may be giving up poland spring water for lent. >> he tweeted a picture of the offending water bottle and twitter quick to dub it watergate. >> what else do you call it? >> thank you, chuck. i spoke to republican speaker of the house john boehner at a place called pete's diner, his favorite breakfast spot steps away from the capitol. i asked him about tough comments he made on tuesday, saying he didn't believe the president had the guts to stand up to his own party in an effort to tackle the nation's fiscal problems. >> what i is suggested during the debt talks is that the president didn't have the courage to take on members of his own party. the president knows we have a serious spending problem, a structural debt problem that needs to be resolved but there were issues we had agreed upon in the summer of 2011 that once we got to december of 2012 weren't even on the table anymore. >> but when you say he doesn't have the guts to stand up to his own party, mr. speaker, couldn't you face that same accusation from democrats? >> listen, i've had my troubles with my own party, there's no question about it. but it was never about the courage to step up and do the right thing for the country. >> and by calling the president of the united states out in such harsh terms today, on the day of the state of the union address, and questioning his guts and questioning his courage, and he's going to walk into that chamber tonight, hand you a copy of his speech and he's going to stand in front of you and people are going to be watching your face throughout that entire speech. a lot of people are going to say, here we go. same old division. same old animosity. don't they have a right to say that? >> no. listen, the president and i get along fine. we do. we have a very good relationship. we come from very different -- >> is this all politics, the questions you raise today? >> we come from very different worlds. he has a liberal ideology. i come from the more conservative side. having said that, american people on election day gave us a mandate, republican congress and democratic president and the mandate was to find a way to work together, find common ground. >> if there seems to be an area where there's a glimmer of hope of cooperation, it's on immigration. we had eight senators, four from each side of the aisle, come up with a plan. neither side really gets what they want in this. isn't that the way american people want it? >> yes. that's why i've had four or five republicans sit with four or five democrats for years, working on issues of immigration. what i've been trying to do is foster this bipartisan conversation on immigration reform, both legal and illegal immigration. i would hope that the senate players could continue to work in a bipartisan fashion. that's the only way we're going to be able to address the big issues that face our country. >> sharing this idea of not everybody getting what they want and taking it down the road. will you bring a bill to the floor of the house even if you don't think you'll get a support of the majority of people in your party, but if you do think that, working with democrats, you'll get it accomplished? will you do that? >> i've done it before. >> will you do that on immigration? >> i've done it twice. we'll have to see what the bill is. we have to work through this in a bipartisan way. we can't get the cart before the horse and begin to try to resolve this. >> if it meant accepting, on your part, a pathway to citizenship to get it done, would you pursue it? >> let's not assume the outcome. let's allow this conversation to occur, get members working together, expand their group and hopefully we'll have a bipartisan solution to what's a very difficult problem. >> there seems to be enormous support for a way to curb gun violence in this country. people talk about better mental health screenings. they talk about getting violence out of our culture, pop culture, movies, tv, videos that kids are playing and a lot of people think that you've also got to go and put limits and further restrictions on gun ownership and guns in this country. are restrictions like that part of any comprehensive effort to curb gun violence? >> all our hearts go out to the victims of these tragedies around our country. i would hope that we would take a broader look at this. the violence in our society. where does it come from? if you look at each of these mass shootings, each of the shooters all had mental health issues. how can we do a better job there of controlling their access to weapons? what do we do about school safety? there are a lot of things we need to look at. >> how do you feel about putting armed guards in schools? >> there are a lot of ideas out there. the question is, what will truly help bring down the violence in our society? i think taking this easy approach and trying to put more rules on lawful gun owners -- remember, they're lawful gun owners. the people who own guns illegally, they don't pay attention anyway. >> we'll have more of our interview with the speaker a little later in the show. right now we want to go to vatican city in rome where nbc's anne thompson has more on the first appearance from pope benedict xvi since his announcement that he's stepping down at the end of the month. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. this is ash wednesday. it's usually a somber day in the catholic church. there's a celebratory air here in vatican city as the pope begins what some are calling his farewell tour. this morning, the public getting its first chance to express their appreciation for pope benedict since announcing his abdication. with the end of his papacy days away. a church famous for its rituals, vatican officials are working without a script as benedict moves into retirement. what are you going to call pope benedict once he steps down? >> i don't think he will be the pope emeritus. one of his other titles is the bishop of rome. he will probably be the americas bishop of rome. >> reporter: showed a flare for fashion, earning the nickname the prada pope. this monastery is being renovated for pope benedict. it will have a library for the scholarly man and his cats will accompany him. no word yet on whether there will be a piano as well. he is expected to distance himself from the politics of the church. >> he is somebody very far away from the intrigue, okay? he hasn't dwelled on that. if he did, i imagine he would still want to be pope and wielding power and making decisions. >> reporter: this morning, pope benedict will preside over ash wednesday mass. it was moved to st. peter's basilica to accommodate the thousands who are expected to attend what could be the last public mass of his papacy. the vatican has announced the conclave to choose his successor will begin the week after march 15th. matt?

how am i going to feel when i get on the scale next nday? how am i going to feel a month from now when i'm five pounds up? it shifts you to a place of logic and better understanding. >> cravings, so difficult. you say play a zero sum game. what do you mean by that? >> again, stop and think these fries are 500 calories. that's an hour on the treadmill. my favorite cravings trick, have three bites. go do something to make yourself busy, if it doesn't pass in 15 minutes, have another three bites. >> after the first three it plateaus. >> you get mindless about it. walk away. tell yourself if i want more, i'll have more. engage in something else. it usually will pass. >> get busy. >> occupy yourself. put the kids to bed, get ready for work the next day and ultimately you'll forget about it. it will pass. >> managing stress, probably one of the most underrated aspects of weight loss, which is a little hard for us doing this business, this show, is getting enough sleep. >> sleep is so critical from a biochemical perspective, with regard to your metabolism. sleep is the number one thing you can do that is not fitness or diet related for weight management. >> what foods help you manage stress? >> foods with a lot of b vitamins. that's going to be fantastic. you're thinking chicken breast, some grass-fed steak or take a b supplement, b complex that's going to help you stay mellow. >> get horizontal. >> okay. i hate talking about this publicly, but get busy with your significant other. >> ahh. >> and it's great for your state of mind and your biochemistry. >> your biochemistry?

>> no! you're an animal! i'm dying. get me out of this, please. >> parents. you know, the kids -- look, they're everything to you. but you say one of the ways to make your workouts work is to fit in working out with your kids. >> exactly. if you have little ones, put them in a bike seat and go for a bike ride. put them in a carrier, go for a hi hike. walk the dogs with your kids f they're older, shoot hoops with them. take skiing lessons with them. play with them. get active. >> which helps them. >> tremendously, showing them that fitness is fun. >> mommy's a little sleepy right now. >> mommy woke up at 5:00. so mommy as you know raveling a little. thanks for pointing that out. >> i know you got a little proclemt there. >> thanks, al. speaker boehner back now at 8:44 and mover our exclusive interview with speaker john boehner. he can invite anyone he wants to, to watch the state of the union address. he reserves the seats for inner city students. fourth graders lacy joseph and zuri franklin from st. anthony's catholic school. i asked speaker boehner what he wanted those kids to take away from the experience. >> i want them to believe that they can live the american dream and grow up and be anything they want to be. my involvement with these 800 kids at four little schools that i support is to try to expose them to the fact that they can grow up and be anything they want to be. matt, you and i, we both live the american dream. i'm here to make sure that dream is available for my kids and your kids. >> they're your guests. could you blame them, though, if they're not a little mesmerized by barack obama tonight? >> oh, i'm sure they will be. >> the nation's first african-american president? >> i'm sure they will be. >> is he, in your mind, the most inspirational african-american living right now? >> i think so. >> is that how you think these kids will feel when they watch? >> i would think so. >> while they'll see the nation's first african-american president, they may see a smaller number of faces of color than they might expect. two in the senate, two in the house. one on the supreme court. if they were to turn to you and ask you, mr. speaker, why -- although they won't be sitting with you, but if they were to ask you, why so many white faces, why not more african-americans, how would you answer that question? >> i would go back over the 22 years i've been here and guess the number of other faces in the congress has more than doubled. our society is making progress. our society will continue to make progress. >> they're also going to sit in some moments tonight -- the president is going to say something, they're going to look down and half the room is going to clap and half the room is going to sit silent. and it might bring the question up, if they turn to you and say, mr. speaker, what is the difference between republicans and democrats? how would you answer that question? >> my democrat colleagues, god bless them, have all this faith and confidence in government. i have more faith and confidence in people w, and want to do mor to empower people to help themselves and be whatever they want to be. >> do you think speaker boehner and the president are friends? >> yes. >> you do? >> yes, but they have a difference because president barack obama is a democrat and speaker boehner is a republican. >> so tonight you're going to be sitting there, the most important people in the country will be in that room. the president, members of congress, the house, the senate, the supreme court justices are all going to be there and so will be lacy and zuri. i'm looking at you smile. do you think that's something you'll end up telling your kids about? >> probably because i've been hearing that children aren't allowed to go to the state of the union and i will -- i will tell my children because it's a special movement moment. i got invited by speaker boehner. >> might this be that pivotal moment for these two students? i think back to that picture of a young bill clinton shaking the hand of john kennedy, and it changed his life. >> right. >> could a moment like tonight or an hour like tonight change the lives of these young students? >> you never know, but if you give them an opportunity, they might get a big idea. they might follow their dream. >> speak er of the house, john boehner. up next, steve harvey helps spice up your relationship. that comes just in time for valentine's day. we'll talk to steve in a moment. val entine's day is tomorro. if you need a little help in the romance department, we've got the guy for the job. celebrating love all week on his talk show and sharing very personal details. when i'm with my wife and it gets real sexy, i apply -- i apply the baby oil with my lips. whoo! everybody say baby oil. >> where is the line, huh? where is the line? steve harvey. >> pretty safe for daytime. >> that's not too bad, right is this. >> i'm making the adjustments for daytime tv. i always thought i was going to be a nighttime guy. >> you have a knack for this. by the way, apologies. we were going to be with you last week in chicago and the weather kind of kept us here. >> that's okay. >> but i watch you and i love the fact there's this great combination, a lot of humor on the show. >> yeah. >> every once in a while you share something deeply personal. is it hard? >> well, i mean, not really. you know, people think that comedians are these guys that are on 24/7. and that's not true. i'm on when i'm on. but when i'm off, i'm a guy like everybody else. i have a wife. i have a family that comes with some drama and i've got to go home and deal with it. and i can't laugh at everything. >> when you deal with it and when you share experiences from your own life, i think you and your wife combined, seven kids, is that right? >> yeah. >> do you ever go home and do they ever say dad or your wife ever say, steve, take it on the other side of the line, maybe don't share so much? >> the kids say that all the time. but then i remind kids that they go to the mall and they shop and since you're not going to write any jokes you're going to have to at least be one of the jokes. >> how do they usually take that news? >> i don't care how they take that. they're eating and they have a roof over their head so you have to help dad out a little bit. >> there was a moment on the show, i think it was your birthday, actually, and you were surprised on the show by some special guests. you're rolling your eyes, but this is real steve harvey. just set it up for me, okay? >> well, it was my birthday. they surprised me. there was a guy that helped me out when i was really, really down and out. man, i had nothing. this guy took me up in cleveland at a furniture store. >> i called you to wish you happy birthday and called to ask you one question. do you still love me baby? >> and you really got broken up by this. >> yeah. >> just took you back? took you back to a different place or was it just this emotional connection with that guy? >> you know, it was -- it was this guy, you know, who i remember -- who i have been looking for for a long time. >> you tried to get in touch with him? >> the last time i saw him, he had black hair. when he first came on the screen, i almost didn't recognize him. and he was -- him and his wife helped me out so much. i mean, you know, man, look. people give me free dinners now, walk in a restaurant, i get the best table. but, i mean, man, when -- i don't need that. when i needed it, no one helped me, but this guy right here. >> it was such a real moment and that is, i think, what is the formula for success especially on a daytime afternoon talk show, with someone who can be real like that. i thought it was great. let's do this. it's love week, as we mentioned, on your show and everywhere. >> all week long. >> valentine's day tomorrow. some people out on the plaza, steve, and since you are the master of love, they would like some advice. debbie from queens, do you have a question for steve? >> yes, i do. steve, i wanted to know on valentine's day the focus is usually on being the sweetheart being the woman. what do you think the best gift would be for a man? >> the best gift for a man? >> yeah. >> and the best way to spend valentine's day. >> well, there's one sure gift that we all like. >> careful. careful. >> as long as you're willing to participate in that, we're pretty much happy. but it's a woman's day. enjoy being, you know, indulged and taken care of and caressed. it's a woman's day. all you've got to do at the end of the day is just be there. and we pretty much take it from there. >> sounds great. >> debbie, thanks for your question. steve, we've got derek from portland, new york, i believe, actually. what's your question for steve? >> steve, my question is, i'm in a new relationship. started dating around christmas and i'm wondering what i can do to keep the relationship strong and healthy. >> you just started dating at christmas? >> yeah. >> you already need to keep it strong and healthy? >> well, i would like to. >> probably should be at its absolute hottest right now. >> it is. >> it's probably smoking right now. just hold it steady right there. just hold it steady right there. any more and you'll lose your mind. trust me when i tell you this. go and drop off a little bit, that's when you call me. right now, two months in, doing real good. real good. >> awesome. thank you. >> derek, thank you. thank you very much. >> next -- >> how to keep it hot for two months. what? >> two-month relationship. now pam and scott, 27 years of marriage under their belt and they've got a question for you. go ahead, guys. >> hi. we want to know how we can keep our second 20 years strong or even my parents have been married 65 years. how do they keep going strong? >> well, i say this to all guys. just remember there's an old song out there. the same thing it took to get your baby hooked, it's going to take the same thing to keep 'em. if you survived 20 years, you're approaching a record for most marriages. so just do whatever you've been doing and stay fresh. just keep it sexy. see that little hat you got on right there? work it into the nighttime festivities. yeah. >> thank you for your question. let's stop right there, steve. check your local listings. he is going to co-host our 8:00 and 9:00 hours on monday. we look forward to that. we're back after your local news. you're watching "today in the bay." >> it is 8:56. good morning, everybody. i'm jon kelley. barry bonds back in san francisco in a federal court. a three-judge panel hearing arguments on an appeal filed by bonds' lawyers. nearly two years ago he was convicted of obstructing justice for giving misleading testimony to a federal grand jury during that balco steroids investigation. we'll keep you posted on that. right now what's happening in the skies. christina loren, beautiful. >> it's going to be so nice. good morning to you. temperatures today. not even the warmest we're expecting. but we'll hit about 66 degrees inland. 61 degrees taking you to the end of the week. we peak on friday at 70. comfortable for valentine's day. welcome to "today" on this wednesday morning, february 13th, 2013. inside studio 1a, i'm willy goois along with al roker and natalie morales. >> go ahead. >> pink sings this song, not me. >> and we've got with us, as you can see, foot network superstar sunny anderson. >> superstar? >> yeah. and by the way, she's already won us over because there's bacon apnd you brought us some bacon. >> you've got to like a pig. >> is it true that bacon can go with anything? >> pretty much, sure. >> bacon and chocolate cake. >> why not. >> what doesn't go with bacon? >> bacon and chocolate. >> sure. >> so we're going to have a little bacon breakfast coming up. >> i'm all for that. >> we begin take three with the state of the union last night. president obama gave his annual address up before congress. he talked about jobs, he talked about immigration, he talked about gun control. >> he gave out bacon. >> he should have given out bacon. that's how you win over the republicans. so he gives his address. when you get beyond the substance and the policy is the response from senator marco rubio of florida. giving a 10-minute address talking about high taxes, speaking in both english and spanish and then he did this. >> the water grab. slow motion now for the water grab. >> the love it. >> couldn't they put the water a little bit closer to him? >> that was during the live address. listen, we've been there. you get something in your throat, you need a little water. i think it was the way he did it. he kind of made a dive for it. >> you wonder if he could have said excuse me and then i need a sip of water.3 c1 >> i have a tip for him. i have to give him some tips. a long time ago i heard from someone who does a lot of public speaking that having a banana before you go on moistens your mouth. i don't know -- >> is that true? >> i don't know. ever since i heard it, i try it. i don't know if it's the placebo effect, but it actually works. >> interesting for like hours, i can still -- my mouth is still salivating. >> is that true? >> so banana. >> sometimes if you have too much, you know, saliva in your mouth, then you have to swallow and you're like, well, it takes a second. excuse me. >> i've got some water over here. >> this is working out well. >> next year republican response, go with the banana beforehand. >> go with bananas. >> or put the water right in front of him on a little table. >> or get one of those little chughead things with the two poland springs. >> a camelback on the back. >> marco rubio, a bright young star in the republican party. >> meanwhile, a free ad for poland springs. >> good sense of humor. >> there it is. let's check out our take two, keeping with the theme of water. matt damon raising water awareness. he's declaring in a video that he's going to hold off from using the bathroom. we'll explain this after you watch. >> until everybody has access to clean water and sanitation, i will not go to the bathroom. yes. >> um, what? >> i'm not going to the bathroom. >> whoa. >> yeah, go ahead. >> do you mean literally, like you won't go to the bathroom but you'll go somewhere else, like maybe a swimming pool? >> you're the reporter. you do the math. >> i don't know what that means. >> i just have a quick follow-up here. >> so damon is one of the co-founders of water.org. it's a nonprofit that gives access to safe water and sanitation in africa, south asia, central america. he said in that spot right there that toilets have saved more lives than any other invention. but this is kind of the way you have to grab people's attention. we are showing it now and now everybody knows what water.org is. he's got a knack for this. >> yeah. i kind of like the idea of someone understanding that they have a position where they can bring attention to something and why not use it. i just -- i don't understand how he's going to get away with the no number one. maybe the no number two. but that number one is really difficult. >> i think they'll find ways around it. >> i try not to think about it. >> yeah, yeah. >> just think about the clean water. all right, our take three. tomorrow is valentine's day. special plans, especially if you live here in the new york area, because across the river in brooklyn, you can spend your valentine's day touring the newtown creek sewage plant. >> on valentine's day? >> on valentine's day. now, before you left -- >> those look like bottles of water. >> this tour was so popular that they had to add a third. there's a 9:30 and a 1:00. they had to add in a 11:00 a.m. apparently if you go up to the top there, there are great views of new york city. in some way it becomes romantic, although the smell they say does get in the way of romance. a little bit. >> i say go to sunset park, brooklyn. sit outside, beautiful view of the city. >> so many places to go to get a beautiful view. >> free tours, i'm telling you. and you get a free hershey's kiss. >> are you going? >> i hadn't planned on it. >> what have you got planned for valentine's day? >> you know what we're going to do? we're just going to do a family thing. we make it a family day. take the kids out to dinner. >> valentine's day is one of these hallmark holidays. every day should be about doing something together. so, yeah, we're probably just having dinner at home with the kids. >> do you have traditions, al, valentine's day? >> no, not really. we exchange cards, all the kids and debra and i. >> you make some diy stuff? >> no, i'm not that crafty. >> no? you make pillows for debra. >> no. don't make pillows, don't make soap, don't make candles. that's why they have stores. >> sunny? >> i'm going to hang out with my cat. a little wet/dry food mix to show him i really love him. >> so sweet. >> i don't know. i'm going to ask maybe they don't walk on anything black in the house for a day, treat me like i'm special. i have no idea. nothing special. i'm a cat lady. okay. what can i say. >> really? >> i am. >> let's liven this up with some bacon. >> let's do it! >> i want to show you guys my breakfast. >> okay. >> so this is -- >> oh, bananas. >> yes. this is what i do every day. i call it obviously the breakfast of champs. wow! >> you start with the basic oatmeal, right? >> yes. so you start with the oatmeal. give that a stir. the reason i like this, i can put this in a bowl and walk around with it. you know, i don't have to like cut into it or anything like that. so what you do is if you're doing it right, you've got so much additives in it, that it's almost as if you don't have the oatmeal. it's kind of like would you like some bananas with your oatmeal? do you know what i mean? and then some walnuts. i like to toast them. if you toast them right, they make this cool sound when you drop them into the oatmeal. a little bit of brown sugar. make it sweet. pass that down, get some cranberrie cranberries. >> i tweeted a couple of weeks ago the picture of my breakfast and everybody tweeted me what's the bacon doing in the bowl? first of all, this is all going in the same place. >> you don't need a side of bacon. >> and the perfect thing about this is -- >> look at willie's. >> you know the way to my heart. >> you're going to get all the bacon. >> you get some nutrition, you get your protein, you've got your grains from your oats. you've got some bananas so you've got your full serving of fruit in there for breakfast. >> it's savory. >> sweet, salty, texture, love it. >> anything with bacon is a winner with me. >> i know. i can't believe you got all the bacon, willie. s >> sunny, you stick around with us. there will be more bacon. in the meantime natalie has a look at the headlines. >> i'll let you guys come on back now so i can read. all right. in the news this morning, a former -- sunny makes her way over. a former los angeles police officer's ten-day reign of terror is apparently over this morning. on tuesday, authorities trapped christopher dorner inside a remote cabin in big bear lake. there were gunshots, tear gas and later a fire that burned the building to the ground as a single gunshot rang out from inside. forensic tests are being done, but sources tell nbc news that a body found inside is dorner, who police say is responsible for killing four people. on this ash wednesday, pope benedict is celebrating what is scheduled to be his last public mass. earlier this morning he told an audience that he is stepping down for the good of the church, saying he did not have enough strength to continue. he asked for people to pray for him, for the church and for the future pope. a conclave to select his successor will start next month. conditions appear to be getting worse on board that carnival cruise ship triumph after a fire left the ship adrift without power in the gulf of mexico. passengers are complaining about filthy hot conditions and trouble getting food. the ship is being towed to mobile, alabama, where it's expected to arrive tomorrow. carnival says it is trying to make the passengers as comfortable as possible. a new report by the national hurricane center estimates the total cost of damage caused by superstorm sandy to be around $50 billion. that's greater than any u.s. hurricane, except katrina in 2005. the report also blames 72 deaths directly on sandy, making it the deadliest hurricane to strike the northeast in four decades. we are mourning the loss of veteran nbc news foreign correspondent tom aspell. he died monday after a two-year battle with lung cancer. aspell spent 28 years with nbc covering world-changing events, including the fall of saddam hussein and the war in afghanistan. he displayed what brian williams called an intense brand of cool under fire. tom aspell was 62 years old and all of us who worked with him remember him so well and loved him dearly. it was a ride to remember for a pregnant woman heading to the hospital a few days ago in connecticut. with three feet of snow on the ground from that blizzard and lori wood about to give birth, five neighbors fashioned a car luggage carrier into a sled. they then dragged her a thousand yards until they found a plowed road and a car that could get her to the hospital. and she gave birth to this beautiful little baby boy, jimmy, about an hour later. that's an adventure into the world. more baby news also this morning. alec baldwin and his wife are expecting their first child together. hilaria baldwin, a special correspondent for extra, is due to give birth late this summer. it is 11 minutes after the hour. let's get a check of the weather from al. >> got a lot of nice friends here. you love today, we love that you love that. where are you from?

>> for real. i'm a big fan. >> next color combo of the season. alexander wang did everything black and white. >> it's not really a color combo. we all have black and white pieces in our closet but how the designer shows them and how you see lisa wearing them here is in two black and white patterns mixed. a lot of women are nervous about pattern mixing and fashion magazines are always saying do it, do it, do it. this is a great way to start. black and white is a safer, more conservative palate. >> do you think that works on any size? >> if the pattern is small on the area you're trying to minimize, that's the best. a top like this with big wide stripes is really flattering on almost anybody. you can take this top, put it with a big skirt for a dressier look. incredibly versatile. >> it's a great top. lisa, thank you. finally, the spring suit. you'll see a lighter, more fun version of the classic. >> absolutely. we all have skirt suits and pant suits. what we're really into at glamour, believe it or not, is the short suit. i love this look. this is something that probably a lot of women don't already have in their closet. you could wear these pieces separately. they're super versatile. i love how they look together for the office. i think she looks incredibly promotable. >> she does. >> if your going to try this look, by the way, notice her shoes are polished flats. you don't want to go with a high heel with shorts. that is a tricky look to be able to pull off. also you don't want to go with a really casual sneaker for the office, too casual. >> i'm not doing the shorts. i can do capris. >> you can absolutely do capris. right now it's a great thing to invest in the suit. the corals, beautiful brights look good on everybody's skin tone. it's refreshing to see suits. it's been a while on the runway. >> cindy levie, i know you're in fashion week as well. enjoy it. ladies, come on out. you all look amazing. up next, college advice from an ivy league team right after this. about your favorite flavors. so when you call, tweet, and post, we listen. that's why yoplait light and yoplait original are now made with no high fructose corn syrup. and why we use only natural colors and natural flavors in yoplait original. so, anything else we can do for you, let us know. but you'll keep it to yogurt, right?

what do they need to ask? >> i think they have to be honest with each other. they really need to think about what their anxiety level will be. as a parent, would you allow your child to go far from home? what do you want academically? talk about the careers, too. why are you going to college, to really think about the education you're going to receive and not just the linear path, let's say, to a job. >> a lot of kids and parents are planning the spring break vacations and visiting colleges. what do you want to look for when you go to that college? >> i like seeing parents and students walk into the admissions office and seem like they're relaxed, because they're going to really be able to take in the place that way. think about just planning a vacation. you could be really stressed about it or you could make the most of it. i think if they're honest with each other, what they want out of that visit and go off the beaten path. go to the library. look at the -- go to the library. not the first on the list, but you should. on penn's campus, it's locust walk. stand in the middle of the college quad at any school when students come out of classes. hear those conversations. go to the information session and tour. try to get a sense of what day-to-day life is like. >> is it a lot like buying a house, you know it when you see it as far as the fitative college? >> i think it's intellectual and emotional. you can look and say this plans to be a right fit but you walk in the door and know right away it's not. i think it's a good analogy. >> what about the academic facilities, how important are those? >> certainly. you want to see where an institution is investing. at penn we just invested in a music building and also in our stem field, in engineering and math and science. so i think it's important to see the priorities that an institution has. and i think for some students those facilities will really dictate a decision. >> isn't it important for parents and students to have a pretty frank discussion about what they can afford? >> absolutely, al. i think that affordability is something that maybe even ten years ago families would not discuss. you try to protect your children. >> sure. >> nowadays i think it is very important to be honest about what need-based financial aid may look like. penn has a no-loan financial policy as a example. also do we need to get that scholarship? what does merit money look like? what about the state institution where you live and maybe even out of state? that could still be more affordable. >> as an admissions person when you look at a child's transcript, what's better, an a in a regular course or a b in an ap course? >> it is the old-age question of rigger versus performance. i think the important piece here is recognizing in the process, it is a human process, al, that students aren't equally strong in all fields. >> sure. >> i don't want to see a student avoid a language, math or science in their senior year but that doesn't mean that they need to take the ap physics in their senior year. >> how important are the essay questions? >> common application among the common application -- we just came up with new prompts with a lot of input from guidance counselors and others about what do students -- what do they internalize when they read the question? at the end of the day, we want to hear the student's voice. let them take down the trappings and not speak to an admission's dean, per se, but tell what they want us to hear about. >> i hear my friends saying their kids are applying to 10, 15 colleges. what's a good average number? >> sitting here in manhattan or philadelphia, those numbers are higher. the average number of applications submitted to the common application, which has about 500 member schools, is four. >> so that's not a bad number? >> that's not a bad number. realistically, students are p probably applying and cover their options academically, admission wise and financially with about eight schools. >> extra letters of recommendation? >> schools have very specific policies on these extra letters. one letter is fine. i think if you're going to three you're really distracting the admission officer. you want to focus their attention in a limit eed time span. >> eric furda, thank you very much. i hope you're working still at u penn when my son is coming up. you hang on a little while longer. >> all righty. valentine's day crafts, right after this. ♪ this is amazing, how did you find us?

>> miguel almaguer, thank you. rick heltibrick is the man who came face to face with christopher dorner when his car was hijacked. good morning. >> good morning. how are you? >> good. i guess the question is, how are you? what happened? did you recognize christopher dorner the moment you saw him? >> yes, i did. i was coming up camp road, side road off the highway, basically just out driving around, checking out my property, which is a pretty good sized boy scout camp that i run here. and i seen some law enforcement personnel in units in the area and it was kind of based on recent activity up here, kind of seemed like something was in the works. and i had gone down this road to check on my camp. i was heading back up the road, which is half a mile from the highway 38. christopher dorner came out of the snow -- out of the trees. i saw him right away. i saw a vehicle crashed behind him in the snow. he came up to me with his gun pointed at me and i stopped my truck, put it in park, raised my hands and he said, i don't want to hurt you. just get out and start walking up the road and take your dog, which is what i did. >> what was his demeanor? did he seem calm, panicked, angry? >> he was very calm. i stayed calm. it was a pretty serious situation based on recent events around here. wasn't a lot of panic. basically he told me what he wanted me to do, and i did it. >> did you see any other weaponry on him? obviously you said he was pointing the gun right at you. did he seem to have anything else on him? >> i couldn't tell if he had a sidearm or anything. i did see he was dressed all in camouflage. he had on a vest, some kind of ballistics vest with a lot of pockets in it, with like magazines for his rifle. i heard later that he was throwing smoke bombs so it could have been something like that in there, but they were full. there was a lot of stuff in there. he was dressed for action. >> what a harrowing ordeal for you. i assume you feel very lucky to have escaped unharmed. >> i was happy that he let me go and had me take my dog. and i've got to tell you, not more than ten seconds that have, i was walking up the road. that's when i heard a volley of gunfire. at that point, i bailed into the snow and hid behind a tree and called the local deputy up here on his personnel cell phone and told him what was going on. that's when everything started happening. i found out later what was happening with those gun shots. >> rick heltebrake, thank you for being here. we're so glad you're safe. thanks for sharing your story. >> thanks for having me. >> i want to turn to clint van zandt, former fbi profiler. as we understand it, christopher dorner was hiding out in a home across the street basically from the police command post. how can ta happen? >> many times you do a search you search the area closest to the command post first. you put a mark on the house and say we already searched it. that could have taken place and dorner could have circled around, perhaps at night, come back inside that house and realized he then had a perfect view of law enforcement and the media as to what's going on. he didn't need a tv. he was able to look out the window and see the activity around him. >> you've called him one of the most dangerous individuals law enforcement has had to deal with in a very long time. thank you for your perspective. appreciate it. >> sure. passionate plea from president obama about gun control, among many other things, during his state of the union address. this as he hits the road today to rally support for his proposal. let's get to chuck todd. >> good morning, savannah. the speech was really a tale of two speeches. there was the traditional state of the union part of it. a speech that was filled, dominated by the economy and other familiar-sounding domestic proposals, but then it was an unusual, emotional ending to the speech. and it's that that will probably leave the lasting impression. >> they deserve a vote. >> reporter: an emotional refrain to end president obama's state of the union address, as the president invoked victims of gun violence in america. >> it is not a bigger government we need, but a smarter government that sets priorities and invests in broad-base. >> reporter: the economy, invoking a phrase he used a lot in 2012, the middle class. >> a growing economy that creates good, middle-class jobs, that must be the north star that guides our efforts. >> reporter: and taking a page from the last democratic president, bill clinton, by offering a laundry list of poll tested ideas. >> i'm announcing a launch of three more of these manufacturing house, and raise the minimum wage to $9. make high-quality preschool available to every single child in america. a new college score card that parents and students can use. i propose we use some of our oil and gas revenues to fund an energy security crisis. >> reporter: mr. obama adopted a tough tone throughout his address. >> let's set party interests aside and work to pass a budget that replaces reckless cuts with smart savings and wise investments in our future. let's do it without the brinkmanship that scares off investors and stresses consumers. >> reporter: the night's emotional moment, the president's call for congress to at least vote on serious gun control, invoking the memory of gun victims like hadiya pendleton, a 15-year-old girl who performed at the president's inauguration and one week later was shot and killed in chicago. >> hadiya's parents, nate and cleo, are here tonight, along with two dozen families whose lives have been torn apart by gun violence. they deserve a vote. gabby giffords deserves a vote. the families of newtown deserve a vote. the families of aurora deserve a vote. the families of tucson and the countless other communities ripped open by gun violence, they deserve a simple vote. >> not your typical ending there to a state of the union. republican response given by florida senator marco rubio gave the impression about how hard it's going to be to pass. combative speech, filled with a personal story, but somewhat combative. >> and both sides laying claim to being advocates for the middle class. subseque substance aside, there is a moment in rubio's speech where he reaches for a swig of water. >> it was a jar iring moment. we were taken aback, watching. but it was somewhat jarring. he, himself, sort of made fun of moment. he has tweeted out the fact that he maybe -- someone joked he may be giving up poland spring water for lent. >> he tweeted a picture of the offending water bottle and twitter quick to dub it watergate. >> what else do you call it? >> thank you, chuck. i spoke to republican speaker of the house john boehner at a place called pete's diner, his favorite breakfast spot steps away from the capitol. i asked him about tough comments he made on tuesday, saying he didn't believe the president had the guts to stand up to his own party in an effort to tackle the nation's toughest problems. >> what i is suggested during the debt talks is that the president didn't have the courage to take on members of his own party. the president knows we have a serious spending problem, a structural debt problem that needs to be resolved but there were issues we had agreed upon in the summer of 2011 that once we got to december of 2012 weren't even on the table anymore. >> but when you say he doesn't have the guts to stand up to his own party, mr. speaker, couldn't you face that same accusation from democrats? >> listen, i've had my troubles with my own party, there's no question about it. but it was never about the courage to step up and do the right thing for the country. >> and by calling the president of the united states out in such harsh terms today, on the day of the state of the union address, and questioning his guts and questioning his courage, and he's going to walk into that chamber tonight, hand you a copy of his speech and he's going to stand in front of you and people are going to be watching your face throughout that entire speech. a lot of people are going to say, here we go. same old division. same old animosity. don't they have a right to say that? >> no. listen, the president and i get along fine. we do. we have a very good relationship. we come from very different -- >> is this all politics, the questions you raise today? >> we come from very different worlds. he has a liberal ideology. i come from the more conservative side. having said that, american people on election day gave us a mandate, republican congress and democratic president and the mandate was to find a way to work together, find common ground. >> if there seems to be an area where there's a glimmer of hope of cooperation, it's on immigrati immigration. we had eight senators, four from each side of the aisle, come up with a plan. neither side really gets what they want in this. isn't that the way american people want it? >> yes. that's why i've had four or five republicans sit with four or five democrats for years, working on issues of immigration. what i've been trying to do is foster this bipartisan conversation on immigration reform, both legal and illegal immigration. i would hope that the senate players could continue to work in a bipartisan fashion. that's the only way we're going to be able to address the big issues that face our country. >> sharing this idea of not everybody getting what they want and taking it down the road. will you bring a bill to the floor of the house even if you don't think you'll get a support of the majority of people in your party, but if you do think that, working with democrats, you'll get it accomplished? will you do that? >> i've done it before. >> will you do that on immigrati immigration? >> i've done it twice. we'll have to see what the bill is. we have to work through this in a bipartisan way. we can't get the cart before the horse and begin to try to resolve this. >> if it meant accepting, on your part, a pathway to citizenship to get it done, would you pursue it? >> let's not assume the outcome. let's allow this conversation to occur, get members working together, expand their group and hopefully we'll have a bi d bipartisan solution to what's a very difficult problem. >> there seems to be enormous support for a way to curb gun violence in this country. people talk about better mental health screenings. they talk about getting violence out of our culture, pop culture, movies, tv, videos that kids are playing and a lot of people think that you've also got to go and put limits and further restrictions on gun ownership and guns in this country. are restrictions like that part of any comprehensive effort to curb gun violence? >> all our hearts go out to the victims of these tragedies around our country. i would hope that we would take a broader look at this. the violence in our society. where does it come from? if you look at each of these mass shootings, each of the shooters all had mental health issues. how can we do a better job there of controlling their access to weapons? what do we do about school safety? there are a lot of things we need to look at. >> how do you feel about putting armed guards in schools? >> there are a lot of ideas out there. the question is, what will truly help bring down the violence in our society? i think taking this easy approach and trying to put more rules on lawful gun owners -- remember, they're lawful gun owners. the people who own guns illegally, they don't pay attention anyway. >> we'll have more of our interview with the speaker a little later in the show. right now we want to go to vatican city in rome where nbc's anne thompson has more on the first appearance from pope benedict xvi since his announce thamt he ment that he's stepping down at the end of the month. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. this is ash wednesday. it's usually a somber day in the catholic church. there's a celebratory air here in vatican city as the pope begins what some are calling his farewell tour. this morning, the public getting its first chance to express their appreciation for pope benedict since announcing his abdica abdication. with the end of his papacy days away. a church famous for its rituals, vatican officials are working without a script as benedict moves into retirement. what are you going to call pope benedict once he steps down? >> i don't think he will be the pope emeritus. one of his other titles is the bishop of rome. he will probably be the americas bishop of rome sfw. >> reporter: showed a flare for fashion, earning the nickname the prada pope. this monastery is being renovated for pope benedict. it will have a library for the scholarly man and his cat also accompany him. no word yet on whether there will be a piano as well. he is expected to distance himself from the politics of the church. >> he is somebody very far away from the intrigue, okay? he hasn't dwelled on that. if he did, i imagine he would still want to be pope and wielding power and making decision decisions. >> reporter: this morning, pope benedict will preside over ash wednesday mass. it was moved to st. peter's basilica to accommodate the thousands who are expected to attend what could be the last public mass of his papacy. the vatican has announced the conclave to choose his successor will begin the week after march 15th. matt?

how am i going to feel when i get on the scale next monday? how am i going to feel a month from now when i'm five pounds up? it shifts you to a place of logic and better understanding. >> cravings, so difficult. you say play a zero sum game. what do you mean by that? >> again, stop and think these fries are 500 calories. that's an hour on the treadmill. my favorite cravings trick, have three bites. go do something to make yourself busy, if it doesn't pass in 15 minutes, have another three bites. >> after the first three it plateaus. >> you get mindless about it. walk away. tell yourself if i want more, i'll have more. engage in something else. it usually will pass. >> get busy. >> occupy yourself. put the kids to bed, get ready for work the next day and ultimately you'll forget about it. it will pass. >> managing stress, probably one of the most underrated aspects of weight loss, which is a little hard for us doing this business, this show, is getting enough sleep. >> sleep is so critical from a biochemical perspective, with regard to your metabolism. sleep is the number one thing you can do that is not fitness or diet related for weight management. >> what foods help you manage stress? >> foods with a lot of b vitamins. that's going to be fantastic. you're thinking chicken breast, some grass-fed steak or take a b supplement, b complex that's going to help you stay mellow. >> get horizontal. >> okay. i hate talking about this publicly, but get busy with your significant other. >> ahh. >> and it's great for your state of mind and your biochemistry. >> your biochemistry?

>> oh, i'm sure they will be. >> the nation's first african-american president? >> i'm sure they will be. >> is he, in your mind, the most inspirational african-american living right now? >> i think so. >> is that how you think these kids will feel when they watch? >> i would think so. >> while they'll see the nation's first african-american president, they may see a smaller number of faces of color than they might expect. two in the senate, two in the house. one on the supreme court. if they were to turn to you and ask you, mr. speaker, why -- although they won't be sitting with you, but if they were to ask you, why so many white faces, why not more african-americans, how would you answer that question? >> i would go back over the 22 years i've been here and guess the number of other faces in the congress has more than doubled. our society is making progress. our society will continue to make progress. >> they're also going to sit in some moments tonight -- the president is going to say something, they're going to look down and half the room is going to clap and half the room is going to sit silent. and it might bring the question up, if they turn to you and say, mr. speaker, what is the difference between republicans and democrats? how would you answer that question? >> my democrat colleagues, god bless them, have all this faith and confidence in government. i have more faith and confidence in people w, and want to do mor to empower people to help themselves and be whatever they want to be. >> do you think speaker boehner and the president are friends? >> yes. >> you do? >> yes, but they have a difference because president barack obama is a democrat and speaker boehner is a republican. >> so tonight you're going to be sitting there, the most important people in the country will be in that room. the president, members of congress, the house, the senate, the supreme court justices are all going to be there and so will be lacy and zuri. i'm looking at you smile. do you think that's something you'll end up telling your kids about? >> probably because i've been hearing that children aren't allowed to go to the state of the union and i will -- i will tell my children because it's a special movement moment. i got invited by speaker boehner. >> might this be that pivotal moment for these two students? i think back to that picture of a young bill clinton shaking the hand of john kennedy, and it changed his life. >> right. >> could a moment like tonight or an hour like tonight change the lives of these young students? >> you never know, but if you give them an opportunity, they might get a big idea. they might follow their dream. >> speak er of the house, john boehner. up next, steve harvey helps spice up your relationship. that comes just in time for valentine's day. we'll talk to steve in a moment. first this is "today" on nbc. val entine's day is tomorro. if you need a little help in the romance department, we've got the guy for the job. celebrating love all week on his talk show and sharing very personal details. when i'm with my wife and it gets real sexy, i apply -- i apply the baby oil with my lips. whoo! everybody say baby oil. >> where is the line, huh? where is the line? steve harvey. >> pretty safe for daytime. >> that's not too bad, right is this. >> i'm making the adjustments for daytime tv. i always thought i was going to be a nighttime guy. >> you have a knack for this. by the way, apologies. we were going to be with you last week in chicago and the weather kind of kept us here. >> that's okay. >> but i watch you and i love the fact there's this great combination, a lot of humor on the show. >> yeah. >> every once in a while you share something deeply personal. is it hard? >> well, i mean, not really. you know, people think that comedians are these guys that are on 24/7. and that's not true. i'm on when i'm on. but when i'm off, i'm a guy like everybody else. i have a wife. i have a family that comes with some drama and i've got to go home and deal with it. and i can't laugh at everything. >> when you deal with it and when you share experiences from your own life, i think you and your wife combined, seven kids, is that right? >> yeah. >> do you ever go home and do they ever say dad or your wife ever say, steve, take it on the other side of the line, maybe don't share so much? >> the kids say that all the time. but then i remind kids that they go to the mall and they shop and since you're not going to write any jokes you're going to have to at least be one of the jokes. >> how do they usually take that news? >> i don't care how they take that. they're eating and they have a roof over their head so you have to help dad out a little bit. >> there was a moment on the show, i think it was your birthday, actually, and you were surprised on the show by some special guests. you're rolling your eyes, but this is real steve harvey. just set it up for me, okay? >> well, it was my birthday. they surprised me. there was a guy that helped me out when i was really, really down and out. man, i had nothing. this guy took me up in cleveland at a furniture store. >> i called you to wish you happy birthday and called to ask you one question. do you still love me baby? >> and you really got broken up by this. >> yeah. >> just took you back? took you back to a different place or was it just this emotional connection with that guy? >> you know, it was -- it was this guy, you know, who i remember -- who i have been looking for for a long time. >> you tried to get in touch with him? >> the last time i saw him, he had black hair. when he first came on the screen, i almost didn't recognize him. and he was -- him and his wife helped me out so much. i mean, you know, man, look. people give me free dinners now, walk in a restaurant, i get the best table. but, i mean, man, when -- i don't need that. when i needed it, no one helped me, but this guy right here. >> it was such a real moment and that is, i think, what is the formula for success especially on a daytime afternoon talk show, with someone who can be real like that. i thought it was great. let's do this. it's love week, as we mentioned, on your show and everywhere. >> all week long. >> valentine's day tomorrow. some people out on the plaza, steve, and since you are the master of love, they would like some advice. debbie from queens, do you have a question for steve? >> yes, i do. steve, i wanted to know on valentine's day the focus is usually on being the sweetheart being the woman. what do you think the best gift would be for a man? >> the best gift for a man? >> yeah. >> and the best way to spend valentine's day. >> well, there's one sure gift that we all like. >> careful. careful. >> as long as you're willing to participate in that, we're pretty much happy. but it's a woman's day. enjoy being, you know, indulged and taken care of and caressed. it's a woman's day. all you've got to do at the end of the day is just be there. and we pretty much take it from there. >> sounds great. >> debbie, thanks for your question. steve, we've got derek from portland, new york, i believe, actually. what's your question for steve? >> steve, my question is, i'm in a new relationship. started dating around christmas and i'm wondering what i can do to keep the relationship strong and healthy. >> you just started dating at christmas? >> yeah. >> you already need to keep it strong and healthy? >> well, i would like to. >> probably should be at its absolute hottest right now. >> it is. >> it's probably smoking right now. just hold it steady right there. just hold it steady right there. any more and you'll lose your mind. trust me when i tell you this. go and drop off a little bit, that's when you call me. right now, two months in, doing real good. real good. >> awesome. thank you. >> derek, thank you. thank you very much. >> next -- >> how to keep it hot for two months. what? >> two-month relationship. now pam and scott, 27 years of marriage under their belt and they've got a question for you. go ahead, guys. >> hi. we want to know how we can keep our second 20 years strong or even my parents have been married 65 years. how do they keep going strong? >> well, i say this to all guys. just remember there's an old song out there. the same thing it took to get your baby hooked, it's going to take the same thing to keep 'em. if you survived 20 years, you're approaching a record for most marriages. so just do whatever you've been doing and stay fresh. just keep it sexy. see that little hat you got on right there? work it into the nighttime festivities. yeah. >> thank you for your question. let's stop right there, steve. check your local listings. he is going to co-host our 8:00 and 9:00 hours on monday. we look forward to that. we're back after your local news.

>> miguel almaguer, thank you. rick heltibrick is the man who came face to face with christopher dorner when his car was hijacked. good morning. >> good morning. how are you? >> good. i guess the question is, how are you? what happened? did you recognize christopher dorner the moment you saw him? >> yes, i did. i was coming up camp road, side road off the highway, basically just out driving around, checking out my property, which is a pretty good sized boy scout camp that i run here. and i seen some law enforcement personnel in units in the area and it was kind of based on recent activity up here, kind of seemed like something was in the works. and i had gone down this road to check on my camp. i was heading back up the road, which is half a mile from the highway 38. christopher dorner came out of the snow -- out of the trees. i saw him right away. i saw a vehicle crashed behind him in the snow. he came up to me with his gun pointed at me and i stopped my truck, put it in park, raised my hands and he said, i don't want to hurt you. just get out and start walking up the road and take your dog, which is what i did. >> what was his demeanor? did he seem calm, panicked, angry? >> he was very calm. i stayed calm. it was a pretty serious situation based on recent events around here. wasn't a lot of panic. basically he told me what he wanted me to do, and i did it. >> did you see any other weaponry on him? obviously you said he was pointing the gun right at you. did he seem to have anything else on him? >> i couldn't tell if he had a sidearm or anything. i did see he was dressed all in camouflage. he had on a vest, some kind of ballistics vest with a lot of pockets in it, with like magazines for his rifle. i heard later that he was throwing smoke bombs so it could have been something like that in there, but they were full. there was a lot of stuff in there. he was dressed for action. >> what a harrowing ordeal for you. i assume you feel very lucky to have escaped unharmed. >> i was happy that he let me go and had me take my dog. and i've got to tell you, not more than ten seconds that have, i was walking up the road. that's when i heard a volley of gunfire. at that point, i bailed into the snow and hid behind a tree and called the local deputy up here on his personnel cell phone and told him what was going on. that's when everything started happening. i found out later what was happening with those gun shots. >> rick heltebrake, thank you for being here. we're so glad you're safe. thanks for sharing your story. >> thanks for having me. >> i want to turn to clint van zandt, former fbi profiler. as we understand it, christopher dorner was hiding out in a home across the street basically from the police command post. how can ta happen? >> many times you do a search you search the area closest to the command post first. you put a mark on the house and say we already searched it. that could have taken place and dorner could have circled around, perhaps at night, come back inside that house and realized he then had a perfect view of law enforcement and the media as to what's going on. he didn't need a tv. he was able to look out the window and see the activity around him. >> you've called him one of the most dangerous individuals law enforcement has had to deal with in a very long time. thank you for your perspective. appreciate it. >> sure. passionate plea from president obama about gun control, among many other things, during his state of the union address. this as he hits the road today to rally support for his proposal. let's get to chuck todd. >> good morning, savannah. the speech was really a tale of two speeches. there was the traditional state of the union part of it. a speech that was filled, dominated by the economy and other familiar-sounding domestic proposals, but then it was an unusual, emotional ending to the speech. and it's that that will probably leave the lasting impression. >> they deserve a vote. >> reporter: an emotional refrain to end president obama's state of the union address, as the president invoked victims of gun violence in america. >> it is not a bigger government we need, but a smarter government that sets priorities and invests in broad-base. >> reporter: the economy, invoking a phrase he used a lot in 2012, the middle class. >> a growing economy that creates good, middle-class jobs, that must be the north star that guides our efforts. >> reporter: and taking a page from the last democratic president, bill clinton, by offering a laundry list of poll tested ideas. >> i'm announcing a launch of three more of these manufacturing house, and raise the minimum wage to $9. make high-quality preschool available to every single child in america. a new college score card that parents and students can use. i propose we use some of our oil and gas revenues to fund an energy security crisis. >> reporter: mr. obama adopted a tough tone throughout his address. >> let's set party interests aside and work to pass a budget that replaces reckless cuts with smart savings and wise investments in our future. let's do it without the brinkmanship that scares off investors and stresses consumers. >> reporter: the night's emotional moment, the president's call for congress to at least vote on serious gun control, invoking the memory of gun victims like hadiya pendleton, a 15-year-old girl who performed at the president's inauguration and one week later was shot and killed in chicago. >> hadiya's parents, nate and cleo, are here tonight, along with two dozen families whose lives have been torn apart by gun violence. they deserve a vote. gabby giffords deserves a vote. the families of newtown deserve a vote. the families of aurora deserve a vote. the families of tucson and the countless other communities ripped open by gun violence, they deserve a simple vote. >> not your typical ending there to a state of the union. republican response given by florida senator marco rubio gave the impression about how hard it's going to be to pass. combative speech, filled with a personal story, but somewhat combative. >> and both sides laying claim to being advocates for the middle class. subseque substance aside, there is a moment in rubio's speech where he reaches for a swig of water. >> it was a jar iring moment. we were taken aback, watching. but it was somewhat jarring. he, himself, sort of made fun of moment. he has tweeted out the fact that he maybe -- someone joked he may be giving up poland spring water for lent. >> he tweeted a picture of the offending water bottle and twitter quick to dub it watergate. >> what else do you call it? >> thank you, chuck. i spoke to republican speaker of the house john boehner at a place called pete's diner, his favorite breakfast spot steps away from the capitol. i asked him about tough comments he made on tuesday, saying he didn't believe the president had the guts to stand up to his own party in an effort to tackle the nation's toughest problems. >> what i is suggested during the debt talks is that the president didn't have the courage to take on members of his own party. the president knows we have a serious spending problem, a structural debt problem that needs to be resolved but there were issues we had agreed upon in the summer of 2011 that once we got to december of 2012 weren't even on the table anymore. >> but when you say he doesn't have the guts to stand up to his own party, mr. speaker, couldn't you face that same accusation from democrats? >> listen, i've had my troubles with my own party, there's no question about it. but it was never about the courage to step up and do the right thing for the country. >> and by calling the president of the united states out in such harsh terms today, on the day of the state of the union address, and questioning his guts and questioning his courage, and he's going to walk into that chamber tonight, hand you a copy of his speech and he's going to stand in front of you and people are going to be watching your face throughout that entire speech. a lot of people are going to say, here we go. same old division. same old animosity. don't they have a right to say that? >> no. listen, the president and i get along fine. we do. we have a very good relationship. we come from very different -- >> is this all politics, the questions you raise today? >> we come from very different worlds. he has a liberal ideology. i come from the more conservative side. having said that, american people on election day gave us a mandate, republican congress and democratic president and the mandate was to find a way to work together, find common ground. >> if there seems to be an area where there's a glimmer of hope of cooperation, it's on immigrati immigration. we had eight senators, four from each side of the aisle, come up with a plan. neither side really gets what they want in this. isn't that the way american people want it? >> yes. that's why i've had four or five republicans sit with four or five democrats for years, working on issues of immigration. what i've been trying to do is foster this bipartisan conversation on immigration reform, both legal and illegal immigration. i would hope that the senate players could continue to work in a bipartisan fashion. that's the only way we're going to be able to address the big issues that face our country. >> sharing this idea of not everybody getting what they want and taking it down the road. will you bring a bill to the floor of the house even if you don't think you'll get a support of the majority of people in your party, but if you do think that, working with democrats, you'll get it accomplished? will you do that? >> i've done it before. >> will you do that on immigrati immigration? >> i've done it twice. we'll have to see what the bill is. we have to work through this in a bipartisan way. we can't get the cart before the horse and begin to try to resolve this. >> if it meant accepting, on your part, a pathway to citizenship to get it done, would you pursue it? >> let's not assume the outcome. let's allow this conversation to occur, get members working together, expand their group and hopefully we'll have a bi d bipartisan solution to what's a very difficult problem. >> there seems to be enormous support for a way to curb gun violence in this country. people talk about better mental health screenings. they talk about getting violence out of our culture, pop culture, movies, tv, videos that kids are playing and a lot of people think that you've also got to go and put limits and further restrictions on gun ownership and guns in this country. are restrictions like that part of any comprehensive effort to curb gun violence? >> all our hearts go out to the victims of these tragedies around our country. i would hope that we would take a broader look at this. the violence in our society. where does it come from? if you look at each of these mass shootings, each of the shooters all had mental health issues. how can we do a better job there of controlling their access to weapons?

>> i would go back over the 22 years i've been here and guess the number of other faces in the congress has more than doubled. our society is making progress. our society will continue to make progress. >> they're also going to sit in some moments tonight -- the president is going to say something, they're going to look down and half the room is going to clap and half the room is going to sit silent. and it might bring the question up, if they turn to you and say, mr. speaker, what is the difference between republicans and democrats? how would you answer that question? >> my democrat colleagues, god bless them, have all this faith and confidence in government. i have more faith and confidence in people w, and want to do mor to empower people to help themselves and be whatever they want to be. >> do you think speaker boehner and the president are friends?

>> probably because i've been hearing that children aren't allowed to go to the state of the union and i will -- i will tell my children because it's a special movement moment. i got invited by speaker boehner. >> might this be that pivotal moment for these two students? i think back to that picture of a young bill clinton shaking the hand of john kennedy, and it changed his life. >> right. >> could a moment like tonight or an hour like tonight change the lives of these young students? >> you never know, but if you give them an opportunity, they might get a big idea. they might follow their dream. >> speak er of the house, john boehner. up next, steve harvey helps spice up your relationship. that comes just in time for valentine's day. we'll talk to steve in a moment. first this is "today" on nbc. val entine's day is tomorro. if you need a little help in the romance department, we've got the guy for the job. celebrating love all week on his talk show and sharing very personal details. when i'm with my wife and it gets real sexy, i apply -- i apply the baby oil with my lips. whoo! everybody say baby oil. >> where is the line, huh?

>> for real. i'm a big fan. >> next color combo of the season. alexander wang did everything black and white. >> it's not really a color combo. we all have black and white pieces in our closet but how the designer shows them and how you see lisa wearing them here is in two black and white patterns mixed. a lot of women are nervous about pattern mixing and fashion magazines are always saying do it, do it, do it. this is a great way to start. black and white is a safer, more conservative palate. >> do you think that works on any size? >> if the pattern is small on the area you're trying to minimize, that's the best. a top like this with big wide stripes is really flattering on almost anybody. you can take this top, put it with a big skirt for a dressier look. incredibly versatile. >> it's a great top. lisa, thank you. finally, the spring suit. you'll see a lighter, more fun version of the classic. >> absolutely. we all have skirt suits and pant suits. what we're really into at glamour, believe it or not, is the short suit. i love this look. this is something that probably a lot of women don't already have in their closet. you could wear these pieces separately. they're super versatile. i love how they look together for the office. i think she looks incredibly promotable. >> she does. >> if your going to try this look, by the way, notice her shoes are polished flats. you don't want to go with a high heel with shorts. that is a tricky look to be able to pull off. also you don't want to go with a really casual sneaker for the office, too casual. >> i'm not doing the shorts. i can do capris. >> you can absolutely do capris. right now it's a great thing to invest in the suit. the corals, beautiful brights look good on everybody's skin tone. it's refreshing to see suits. it's been a while on the runway. >> cindy levie, i know you're in fashion week as well. enjoy it. ladies, come on out. you all look amazing. up next, college advice from an ivy league team right after this. about your favorite flavors. so when you call, tweet, and post, we listen. that's why yoplait light and yoplait original are now made with no high fructose corn syrup. and why we use only natural colors and natural flavors in yoplait original. so, anything else we can do for you, let us know. but you'll keep it to yogurt, right?

"today" on education nation, advice for students and parents on choosing colleges. dean of admission from the university of pennsylvania. good to see you. >> honor. >> what's the questions, when you're starting to think about college, both for the student and for the parent? what do they need to ask? >> i think they have to be honest with each other. they really need to think about what their anxiety level will be. as a parent, would you allow your child to go far from home? what do you want academically? talk about the careers, too. why are you going to college, to really think about the education you're going to receive and not just the linear path, let's say, to a job. >> a lot of kids and parents are planning the spring break vacations and visiting colleges. what do you want to look for when you go to that college? >> i like seeing parents and students walk into the admissions office and seem like they're relaxed, because they're going to really be able to take in the place that way. think about just planning a vacation. you could be really stressed about it or you could make the most of it. i think if they're honest with each other, what they want out of that visit and go off the beaten path. go to the library. look at the -- go to the library. not the first on the list, but you should. on penn's campus, it's locust walk. stand in the middle of the college quad at any school when students come out of classes. hear those conversations. go to the information session and tour. try to get a sense of what day-to-day life is like. >> is it a lot like buying a house, you know it when you see it as far as the fitative college? >> i think it's intellectual and emotional. you can look and say this plans to be a right fit but you walk in the door and know right away it's not. i think it's a good analogy. >> what about the academic facilities, how important are those? >> certainly. you want to see where an institution is investing. at penn we just invested in a music building and also in our stem field, in engineering and math and science. so i think it's important to see the priorities that an institution has. and i think for some students those facilities will really dictate a decision. >> isn't it important for parents and students to have a pretty frank discussion about what they can afford? >> absolutely, al. i think that affordability is something that maybe even ten years ago families would not discuss. you try to protect your children. >> sure. >> nowadays i think it is very important to be honest about what need-based financial aid may look like. penn has a no-loan financial policy as a example. also do we need to get that scholarship? what does merit money look like? what about the state institution where you live and maybe even out of state? that could still be more affordable. >> as an admissions person when you look at a child's transcript, what's better, an a in a regular course or a b in an ap course? >> it is the old-age question of rigger versus performance. i think the important piece here is recognizing in the process, it is a human process, al, that students aren't equally strong in all fields. >> sure. >> i don't want to see a student avoid a language, math or science in their senior year but that doesn't mean that they need to take the ap physics in their senior year. >> how important are the essay questions? >> common application among the common application -- we just came up with new prompts with a lot of input from guidance counselors and others about what do students -- what do they internalize when they read the question? at the end of the day, we want to hear the student's voice. let them take down the trappings and not speak to an admission's dean, per se, but tell the story what they want us to hear about. >> i hear my friends saying their kids are applying to 10, 15 colleges. what's a good average number? >> sitting here in manhattan or philadelphia, those numbers are higher. the average number of applications submitted to the common application, which has about 500 member schools, is four. >> so that's not a bad number? >> that's not a bad number. realistically, students are p probably applying and cover their options academically, admission wise and financially with about eight schools. >> extra letters of recommendation? >> schools have very specific policies on these extra letters. one letter is fine. i think if you're going to three you're really distracting the admission officer. you want to focus their attention in a limit eed time span. >> eric furda, thank you very much. i hope you're working still at u penn when my son is coming up. you hang on a little while longer. >> all righty. valentine's day crafts, right after this. ♪ this is amazing, how did you find us?

Transcripts For MSNBCW All In With Chris Hayes 20160423

"purple rain" and "delirious" just to get warmed up. >> when "all in" starts right now. good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. tonight, new evidence the trump campaign is a bait and switch that many have been predicting. while donald trump has been campaigning over the last 24 hours in delaware and pennsylvania, working to clinch the nomination, his new chief aide, paul manafort, has been on a different mission -- to sell his candidate to the republican establishment. and bombshell audio from a private meeting in florida between manafort and top republican officials shows just how he is doing it. by assuring members of the rnc the trump onstage and trump behind closed doors are two entirely different people. >> when he's sitting in a room, he's talking business, he's talking politics in a private room, it's a different persona. when he's out on the stage, when he's talking about the kinds of things he's talking about on the stump, he's projecting an image that's for that purpose. and the two you'll start to see come together in the course of the next several months. >> manafort working to rebrand trump, promising an evolving candidate who's been playing a part to win the primary. >> that's what's important from our standpoint, for you to understand that he gets it and the part he's been playing is evolving into the part you've been expecting but he wasn't ready for because he had to see through the first phase. negatives will come down, image is going to change, but it's still going to be crooked hillary and that's what you're going to be seeing a lot more of. >> applause. just hours ago at a rally in delaware, trump didn't shy away from the notion he will change as a candidate once he wins the primary, promising an upcoming pivot to being more "presidential." >> ivanka says, dad, please be more presidential. i say, i can't, i have to beat these people, i don't want to be too presidential yet. being presidential for me is much easier than doing this. and you know what? if i was totally presidential we have 10,000 people here or something, i'd have about 300 and you'd be falling asleep after 20 minutes. we have to have a little. but honestly, i probably wouldn't be here. because i was hit really hard by these 17 people. i was hit really, really hard. and if i didn't hit them back really, really harder, i wouldn't be here. >> for those who believe the trump campaign is a con job and elaborate bait and switch in which he convinces a credulous base to vote for him then does an about-face in the general -- the comments from manafort echoed by trump were the evidence they needed. and ted cruz campaigning earlier today in pennsylvania immediately seized on them. >> donald's campaign is now run by a washington lobbyist who has been a lobbyist for 40 years. they brought in an army of lobbyists who are running the entire campaign. yesterday they were down in florida meeting with party leaders and they were saying, these are their words, that all of this is just a show. that he doesn't believe anything he's saying. he's just trying to fool gullible voters and he's not going to do any of it, he's not going to build a wall, he's not going to deport anyone. he is telling us he is lying to us. >> ted cruz is certainly right about at least one thing, donald trump's campaign is now officially being run by washington lobbyists. the very people he spent much of his campaign rallying against. it's not just any lobbyists who are in charge of this phase of the campaign, but, well, some of the -- well, the most unsavory lobbyists possible. paul manafort, who has brought in several of his friends, has spent decades in washington, d.c. working for some of the worst people in the world. literally. as political reports. the firm he helped found developed a niche representing a roster of controversial international clients that has been described as the torturers lobby. clients including filipino dictator marcos, a group accused of being a front for pakistani intelligence, and most recently ousted ukrainian prime minister yanukovych. when asked about his past clients, including the ousted ukrainian prime minister, widely seen as corrupt who fled to rash, manafort says he's always careful about who he chooses to work for. >> you have controversial clients in your past. some current, some in the past. has mr. trump asked you to stop working for certain clients, stop doing work in ukraine if it's against america's national security? >> the work i was doing in ukraine was to help ukraine get into europe and we succeeded. but i'm not working for any clients right now other than mr. trump. >> and are you going to make a promise in the future that if he's president you'll be careful what clients you take? >> i'm always careful what clients i take. >> joining me, ken vogel, chief investigative reporter for politico, who wrote a fantastic piece on the lobbyists the trump campaign brought in. a great piece. it's almost like the thank you for smoking book and movie by the same name. if you were to create a cartoonish vision of what people's worst image of what a washington lobbyist does, the manafort operation is not that far from it. >> not only that, chris, not only do they represent all manner of sort of corporate criminals, accused corporate criminals, and industries that are regarded as unsavory in washington, manafort has pioneered taking this business model and making it international. representing just a host of characters around the world who u.s. foreign policy, the u.s. foreign policy community, frankly wants noing to do with. so much so that in 2008 there was a guy who was a long-time manafort aide, just brought into the campaign, a guy by the name of doug davenport, whose work on behalf of the purpose he's military giunta was seen as so unsavory that the mccain campaign distanced itself from him and he basically had to resign. as a result of that it's interesting that we see no such qualms by the trump campaign about bringing in these types of folks because trump unlike mccain has made a central part of his political identity the idea that he's not beholden to lobbyists and he doesn't play this washington game, yet here he is with a staff that has been taken over to some extent, to almost a complete extent, by paul manafort, who is bringing in all these folks with whom he has close ties, most of whom he worked with in lobbying. >> it's really astounding. then you have him in almost in 47% moment in this taped audio basically saying, don't worry, that's just for the rubes. he's not crazy, he's one of us! and i don't know if it's going to hurt him or not but man alive it really sounds like at this point they're saying the soft part loud and the loud part softly. >> yeah, i think that some of that is actually attention that is going on not just within the trump campaign but within donald trump himself. and that to some extent paul manafort is the human embodiment of his ego. the guy who's telling him, hey, we need to adapt and change, we need to play by the rules, traditional washington rules, even though you've thumbed your nose at them so successfully, it's time to pivot here. whereas the folks he had around him previously, trump that is, the old campaign regime, headed by campaign manager corey lewandowski who's been supplanted by manafort, they were like donald trump's id, let's donald be donald, let mr. trump be mr. trump and encouraged him to fly by the seat of his pants. now manafort making a course correction and admitting something that you're not supposed to admit publicly. if you do admit it privately irk make sure there are no recorders in the room. >> not only admitting that but then you've got the crazy fourth wall moment of trump himself now saying, a new line of his, if i acted presidential, none of you -- i'm just doing this for attention transparently, and so far it's working. it's a very bizarre message for a presidential candidate. >> and actually, i'll add one more thing. from our sources tell us that in fact manafort's admission, recorded and then obviously publicly disseminated, actually really bothered trump. our sources tell us that. he was really put off by this. despite the fact that he's out there publicly saying something that's not too different. he wants it to be this sort of open and transparent process where when admits, hey, i'm playing the political game but that's not really who i am. to have someone else representing him to these washington power brokers oddly seemed to be a bridge too far for him. and again, we understand that he was upset by that. >> really, the development of the manafort character coming into this play in the second act is really something. ken vogel, thanks so much for joining me. >> it's a pleasure. >> katie packer, founder of the anti-trump pac, our priorities. first your reaction. this confirms i guess precisely the kind of story you and your allies have been telling about trump for months now. >> well, i mean, trump is the guy that's almost 70 years old, i don't think he's a leopard that's going to change his spots any time soon. i think it's telling that he felt he needed to bring in this whole slew of washington lobbyists, and like your first story mentioned, just representing sort of the dredges of the international society, to try to remake him in their image. and of course they want to reassure people that the guy that they've seen for the last year isn't the guy that's going to represent them, because republicans are terrified of that. this is a guy that just has no character, has no grace, no class, no dignity, and is totally unsuited to be president of the united states. and rnc members recognize it. >> that may be true. the members may recognize it. but let me just sketch out the landscape. he had a pretty good night in new york. he lost a few delegates. i think you and i both agree he's going to have a very good night on tuesday night. that is his sort of geographic, demographic stronghold. indiana looks like a more favorable terrain. here's the polling out of indiana. he's up by 8 points in the latest polling, 41-33. to california, june 7th, 49-22 over ted cruz right now. if those numbers were to hold, he's going to get to 1237. and all this talk about who's got the people on the floor and all that, that's a moot point, how soon just going to walk in and have the nomination. >> not necessarily. the media is very, very fixated on state wins. and what our effort is focused on is delegate wins. he can win california as long as we can pick at a substantial number of those delegates that are available to us congressional district by congressional district. even on tuesday we expect him to have some substantial wins. but we're going to pick away at his delegate count in several different congressional districts are in new york we didn't expect to take any delegates out of there, and without spending a nickel we were able to take five delegates out of there. we feel really good about the notion that we can stop him. he's still at a point he doesn't have a majority of republican voters or a majority of delegates. he's not in the kind of position that mitt romney or john mccain were in the last two cycles or george w. bush was back when he ran. and so this still has time to play out. >> here's my question for you. i'm asking honestly, i can't tell how much the never trump is you and about 15 other like-minded people, or whether it's got some -- there's an actual constituency there. there's a constituency behind ted cruz, that i understand. there are people that have his politics, they like ted cruz's mess messableage, and they match. the idea of an institution at movement around blocking trump, how broad is that? how much is that just like a fairly small group of people who are essentially like professional republicans? >> well, i think that you see in our donors, we've got a broad group of donors that are supporting our effort. we've got people that follow our efforts. we had over 1 million views on the last video that we put out to try to stop trump in wisconsin. we had a very broad coalition of people that came together. we were sending the message that in wisconsin, cruz is the candidate that can stop him. i think we had some people coming over from the kasich camp. what we're trying to do is guide a strategy and say, neither kasich nor cruz at this point can get to the 1237 delegates they need prior to the convention, so we need everybody to be working together to stop trump from getting there too, then we can throw it open on the convention floor. a are the of people are excited about that. >> why are they so excited about that prospect? >> well, i think they're hopeful that there's some other option. like i said, donald trump still doesn't have a majority of republicans and a majority of republicans are sort of terrified that this guy is in a position that he could be our party's standbearer and god forbid president of the united states. so they're really excited about the opportunity that we might be able to actually get somebody that has a shot at beating hillary clinton, which donald trump does not. >> all right, katie packer, thanks for joining me, really appreciate it. still to come, the campaign many didn't think would make it this far, including perhaps the candidate himself. the secret weapon that's helping bernie sanders stay in the race ahead. what we learned about the investigation into prince's dead. i'll talk with a man who spent decades covering his expansive career. first, ted cruz campaign's fearmongering reaches a despicable low with two new ads regarding the so-called bathroom bill. d with her, 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. quite like the human foot. introducing the 255 horsepower lexus is 300 all-wheel-drive. with twenty-five percent more base horsepower. once driven, there's no going back. fight heartburn fast. with tums chewy delights. the mouthwatering soft chew that goes to work in seconds to conquer heartburn fast. tum tum tum tum. chewy delights. only from tums. presidential candidate ted cruz clearly seems to think he has found a winning issue in the republican primary. stoking a culture war over so-called, i say so-called, bathroom bills -- >> fired by the pc police for suggesting grown men shouldn't share the bathrooms with young girls. guess who joined the ranges of president. c police. >> people should use the bathroom they feel is appropriate. >> donald trump can't be trusted with common sense, why should we trust him in the white house? >> as if that weren't bad enough there's another grainy, more fearmongering, apocalyptic ted cruz bathroom ad. >> people go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate. >> north carolina and mississippi both recently adopted wildly discriminatory laws designed in part, among other things, to prevent trans people from using the restroom of the gender with which they identify. and today the backlash against both states went international in a news conference with british prime minister david cameron, president called for the law to be overturned while cameron explained why the uk now has a travel warning for any lgbt citizens looking to travel to mississippi or north carolina. >> our view on any of these things is that we believe that we should be trying to use more to end discrimination rather than to embed it or enhance it. and that's something we're comfortable saying to countries and friends anywhere in the world. >> yesterday this trans woman posted this photo on instagram. the caption in part, here i am using a women's restroom in north carolina that i'm technically barred from being in, making all the more absurd and terrified images being used by cruz and others. thank god no adult man has ever molested a child of the same sex or we'd have to figure out bathroom laws like the boys' shower at york she will high in illinois when future speaker of the house, then wrestling coach dennis hastert, an alleged seer yag sex abuser, allegedly set up a chair. according to the government's court filing in support of hastert's sentencing for illegal bank structuring charge related to alleged seer yag sexual aviews, individual d was a member of defendant's york she will high school wrestling team, defendant put a chair in direct view of the shower stalls in the locker room where he sat while the boys shourd. it is a lot more convenient to paint the picture of terrifying strangers when talking about something like that. joining me now, chase strangeio, it's great to have you here. i want to get to the law. this is a pet peeve of mine. the way our society talks about sex offenders and children is always in the terms of the scary stranger and never in the terms of what actually is the far more likely, which is the coach or the teacher or the priest or the caretaker. and it drives me insane. >> yeah, i think what this all shows that is we grossly misunderstand how violence happens, we grossly misunderstand how abuse happens, and what we do instead is scapegoat and target vulnerable people in this case trans people who are the most vulnerable people to abuse in bath rolls, in fact. that's what we're looking at right now and it's devastating for the community. >> has this -- how do you read the politics of this moment? my read of it is that their internal polling in indiana is telling them the base likes this. >> yeah, i think it's hard to know what exactly is going on in terms of the politics. obviously mccrory in north carolina believed that this was a sure-fire campaign issues. and he went full force, passing this law through a special session that targeted transgender people. now we're in a crisis mode. as far as i'm concerned, for the trans community, it doesn't really matter what's going on with the politics behind this because this really is reaching the level where people in north carolina are scared, they're not going to the bathroom. so it rings hollow when president obama tells lgbt people in the uk, for example, that they're going to be treated just fine when they go to north carolina and mississippi, when in fact we know that people aren't going to the bathroom and are fearing all sorts of policing. >> do the folks you work with, that you hear from in your legal work, does it feel like a target's on their back? >> absolutely. i think transgender people have felt a target on their back for a very long time. and there is -- >> they don't need these laws to feel that way, right. >> we don't need new laws to feel that way, trans people feel criminalized, targeted. trans women of color are being targeted on the street. a new wave of legislation making it even more scary to be a trans person. and my clients in north carolina, for example, they are not going to the bathroom. which we know to be incredibly harmful. and they're also fearing all sorts of policing, from actual law enforcement officers, but from other people in restrooms where they feel that they're going to be assaulted when they're just trying to go to the bathroom. >> do you think that this represents a moment, essentially this fight as a political fight, is a fight that if one politically can actually push out the front tier of understanding equality, compassion, rights, et cetera? >> i think if we win it in the right way, it's a matter of really putting forth trans people and saying, you know, take ted cruz's despicable, distorted ad and saying, first of all, this is not about men and women's bathrooms, this is about women in women's bathrooms, transgender women. we have to understand trans women are women. we have to put at the center of this conversation who we're actually talking about so people aren't afraid of that which is different and we don't keep expemming transgendered people from public life. >> to look at that instagram photo going around yesterday in comparison to the ad, it's just sort of the perfect obvious visual rejoineder. >> yeah, i think that "the daily show" did a piece recently about the absurdity of this trans panic and the reality is that so many trans people are living these completely innocuous, normal, boring lives. here you have this fearmongering that is completely counter to how we walk about in the world. it is very dangerous because it sends the message that a trans person is a predator, that a trans woman is not a woman. and that is precisely the rhetoric and understanding that people walk around in the world with that caused them to attack trans people for just existing. that is not where we needed to be headed as a country. >> chase, thank you so much for coming, that was excellent. >> thanks for having me. >> a look at some of the tributes to prince that took place around the country last night, including this stunning performance from the broadway cast of "the color purple." we'll play it as an amazing moment right towards the end. i've just arrived in atlta and i can't wait to start telling people how switching to geico could save them hundreds of dollars on car insurance but first, my luggage. ahh, there it is. uh, excuse me, sir? i think you've got the wrong bag. sorry, they all look alike, you know? no worries. well, car's here, i can't save people money chatting at the baggage claim all day. geico®. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. after we got off the air last night the prince tributes seemed like they were just getting under way. thousands of fans packed the streets of downtown minneapolis, not too far from the historic first avenue club where "purple rain" was filmed. in brooklyn filmmaker spike lee honored prince with a dance party of his own. you don't have to be cool to rule my world >> meanwhile the cast of the broadway hit "hamilton" paid their respects to prince by just dancing to his 1984 hit "let's go crazy." prince was one of several celebrities to see "hamilton" and would give it a rave review, something a cast member talked about with stephen colbert last night. >> one guest came to the show a month ago. and this is -- it's prince, who called it "the best history class ever." >> yeah. >> what a beautiful thing to have an artist of his caliber -- what does that mean to you and the other members of the cast to hear that even before the sad news of today, to know that someone like prince, who's been so influential, saw you dog something different? >> it's humbling. and we don't take it for granted at all. he sat right in the box with shades on the whole time. but it meant the world to us. then prince didn't come backstage. he wasn't big on stuff like that. then we were all waiting to see, did he like it? did he care about it? and he sent that tweet. >> broadway tributes didn't end with "hamilton." jennifer hudson and the cast of the broadway version of "the color purple" performed a moving rendition of "purple rain." hudson asked to cut the muse and i can the whole room sings acapella. >> can we stop the music and sing this together one more time? whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo sing it again sing it again >> what would you give to be able to sing like that? or like prince. all across the country people sang and danced and shared their favorite memories of prince. except for republican presidential john kasich who offered this slightly awkward response. >> any comment on prince's death? >> you know, i feel badly about the prince. not really, though. i never really -- i never saw him in concert. that was a mistake for me not to have been able to follow -- to see him in concert. because he was an extraordinary musician. >> coming up, how did president obama celebrate prince's legacy? in the same way many of us did this morning.

joining me, political reporter for the "new york times" nick confessore. this question of how, i don't know, extraordinary this fund-raising apparatus they put in place has been. >> it's the first time in history it's happened, i think. look, sanders runs on solar power. he's the first candidate to run on solar pawer. he never runs out. his people give to him even if it's not looking good for him. the usual inducement is to drop out, as you said. money or pressure from the party. are not going to apply to him. >> right. and remember, big-money donors give for two reasons. ideological support or personal support. and because they want to back the winner. which is part of the reason that you get a vicious cycle in most races. as it becomes clear you're not going to win, it's like, why am i giving money to jeb bush? he's not going to be next president of the united states. bernie sanders supporters are not giving money because when he wins they'll be able to call up bernie sanders. >> or have an ambassadorship or appointment to some post. >> right. >> his people believe in what he's leaving in the movement and that's what makes him different and formidable against hillary clinton. i think when he has problems in the polls or problems in some of these states it makes them give him more money because they see he needs it. his message is built around needing and wanting just money, grassroots, it isn't a half and half thing, add-on. >> right. there's also the fact that one of the other things that complicates things is that hillary clinton has to still keep raising money. she doesn't have the same -- she's got donors who are tapped out because they've macsed out. bernie sanders doesn't have that issue. as you go further along, it gets harder to raise because you're working your way through the list of macsed-out donors. >> she has to find new max-out donors for primary to keep her numbers up. unless she can boost her small donors herself. and her numbers are not that bad. otherwise she has to find new people, rich people, who can give that maximum check. when they've given it, it's done for the cycle, or for the primary i should say. >> there's the case that she has super pacs and he doesn't. there's the national nurses union which has been doing some ads, which as super pac. but those super pac dollars, they don't pay for staffers. one of the things we've learned in this campaign is, hard money kouchts for a lot because that's actually what you run your campaign on. >> look, she has more cash on hand than bernie sanders. >> and spending less. >> exactly. although she's spending more than she's raising each month this year. which is interesting. she's underwater. but the game of chicken right here is that her super pac does not want to spend its money on bernie sanders. this is the advertising arm of the super pac, to correct the record, is spending money to oppose him. but the big ads, $100 million in stock, right, is trying to save it for the general against the koch brothers. >> the question is how long will they wait and how bad does it have to get for them to pull the trigger on some money against bernie sanders? >> and i think that's probably explains some of the frustration around the people in the clinton circle, which is from their perspective, christmas zero sum. you, bernie sanders, who are not going to win the nomination, are taking resources from the fixed pie of what we can spend. >> correct. the view of the clinton world is you can't win but you can keep raising money and forcing us to spend money. she has spent $20 million on ads in states that are not going to be in play in the general election. it's not a lot against a billion-dollar campaign put it begins to add up over time. >> from sanders' perspective, fair to say he's not looking for some big personal trade-in. he doesn't want to be secretary of state. >> right. the usual back and forth. the also-rans kind of want a role in the new regime of some kind. he does not want that kind of role. i think he's at the head of a movement that believes the party has to be pressured from the inside. >> claims they want addressed. >> it's a big difference, to have a movement around these four issues, fracking, wall street, is a big difference than just a personality thing around a candidate. >> thank you, that was great. do not miss my exclusive town hall with bernie sanders in philadelphia this monday. that is going to be really interesting. it will be on the eve of that big primary tuesday and it will be right here at 8:00 p.m. coming up, the stunning turn of events for my beloved and benighted baseball team that was even more stunning than it first appeared. later the health care experiment in colorado that's so crazy it just might work. they say that in life, we shouldn't sweat the small stuff. but when you're building a mercedes-benz, there really is no small stuff. every decision... every component... is an integral part of what makes the 2016 c-class one of our most sophisticated cars ever. because when you're setting a new benchmark for refinement, it is the small stuff... that makes the biggest impression. the 2016 c-class. see your authorized dealer for exceptional offers through mercedes-benz financial services.

>> it's imbloating, rupture, it's too expensive -- >> we have heard of obamacare's impending demise many times and many experts think this is by no means the death blow to the affordable care act. an under the radar story out of colorado where this november that state could become the first to create a single payer health insurance system in lieu of the affordable care act. if voters pass it, amendment 69 or colorado care would give all coloradoan health insurance and save $4.5 billion a year according to supporters. to be paid for by a payroll tax increase for employees and employers. lobbyists are hard at work to defeat the plan. fear of health care interests losing profits. joining me lee fang, investigative report are fore"the intercept" who's been covering all this. where did this come from? >> thanks for having me. there's been a number of kind of very dedicated single payer activists all over the country working methodically to build support for single payer. we've seen resolutions all across the country from cities and towns calling for single payer. but this is one of the first concrete steps to actually put that dream and make it a reality. so this is a state ballot measure. as you mentioned, very underreported, under the radar, that would actually change the colorado state constitution and set up a system that would allow for a true single payer system. so that means anyone in colorado who's a resident, there will be no health insurance premiums, no deductibles, paid for through a payroll tax and provide basically all care. health care, dental care, everything from a doctor's checkup to open-heart surgery. >> so there's that great phrase about laboratory is a democracy from a supreme court opinion, this is a great example, there's back and forth, can single payer work, can it not? do advocates think this is a sufficient scale for it to work or do you get all sorts of unintended consequences if you just set it up in one state? >> there's a big debate over that, right? for single payer system to be as successful as it could be it needs to be large. just like any health insurance pool. so of course a national pool would be much more effective. it would be a stronger barring kneel unit than a state or county or city. but this is an interesting step. if colorado is successful in this endeavor, it could prove as an example for other states and maybe even the federal government. >> how does it look on the other side of this? i can only imagine resources insurance companies would pour into trying to defeat something like this. >> that's what our story concerned. this campaign is just getting started. health insurance and other for-profit health care interests are doing everything they can to stop it. in colorado for-profit hospital chain hca through their trade association is already mobilizing opposition. a number of other health insurance broker trade groups and lobby group in the state are organizing and setting up opposition to this ballot measure. even in d.c., the national health insurance broker trade association is working with its lobbyists to mobilize opposition so they can block this ballot measure before it spreads or succeeds. >> it's going to be really interesting to see how it plays out. thanks a lot, have a great weekend. next i'll talk with the man who spent decades covering the extraordinary life and work of prince and picked up amazing stories along the way. mary buys a little lamb. one of millions of orders on this company's servers. accessible by thousands of suppliers and employeesglob. but with cyber threats on the rise, mary's data could be under attack. with the help of the at&t network, a network that senses and mitigates cyber threats, their critical data is safer than ever. giving them the agility to be open & secure. because no one knows & like at&t. if you have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's, and your symptoms have left you with the same view, it may be time for a different perspective. if other treatments haven't worked well enough, ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works by focusing right in the gi-tract to help control damaging inflammation and is clinically proven to begin helping many patients achieve both symptom relief as well as remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. while not reported with entyvio, pml, a rare, serious brain infection caused by a virus may be possible. tell your doctor if you have an infection, experience frequent infections, or have flu-like symptoms, or sores. liver problems can occ with entyvio. if your uc or crohn's medication isn't working for you, ask your gastroenterologist about entyvio. entyvio. relief and remission within reach.

i believe definitely in the higher power that gave me this talent. if you go no the studio alone and come out with it, you'd do that every day, wouldn't you? >> i think he did it every day. and there was so much of it. it was a problem for his career. because he fought with the record company not over not producing but over overproducing. he wanted to put out stuff faster, he wanted to put out stuff as it came to him. a typical music career is you put out an album, tour it for a year or two, put out another album. prince wanted to put out triple albums and maybe another one later that year. >> that was the initial fight with warner brothers was essentially oversupplying the market, glutting the market with prince music. >> yes. >> when he is just saying basically, i'm sitting here channelling this stuff, i need this to come out of me. >> yeah, it was almost compulsive. but there was so much good stuff. even the stuff that is relegated to the ends of albums and stuff that isn't as good as the great stuff, there's still such a musical mind going on. great rhythms, tunes. he's funny, smart. he's also very socially concerned. we think of prince as this sex symbol. the guy who wrote the most lascivious song in the world. also songs like "sign of the times" one of the first songs about aids in 1987. in 2004 he wrote a very pointed specific anti-discrimination song "cinnamon girl." just last year he went to baltimore and played that concert and wrote the song about baltimore. >> i was learning yesterday, a great article about he was writing so many songs, writing songs for other people as well. i learned yesterday that "manic monday" is a prince song, the bengals. "nothing compares to you," a song i love, i knew was a prince song before sinead o'connor had a big hit. he's writing so many songs he's giving them away. >> he didn't even initially record "nothing compares to you," it was recorded by a group called the family. here's a prince song, i don't have room for it on my album, go ahead and record it. >> i was watching old interviews, his relationship with his parents, hi father particularly. he was so technically adept. there's a sense in which he was this genius. he came from a musical family. his father talked about being drilled in musicpy his dad. >> he was but the discipline was always there. his high school newspaper interviewed him about being a music star. he was already in high school good enough to be getting attention as our great musician. he started writing songs when he was 7. he just had it in him. there is incredible discipline involved in being a musician that involves being alone and practicing and learning your instrument. and he did that. one of the great things about him was he was good at both this incredibly solitary practice of making a song all by himself, playing every instrument, singing every vocal by himself in the studio, night after night. but then he would go out in night. but then he would go out in this -- into an arena and touch everybody in that public arena. >> thanks so much for joining us. that is all for this evening. tune in on monday at our normal time for my special town hall bernie sanders followed by a hillary clinton town hall hosted by rachel maddow. speaking of her, good evening rachel. >> i'm not going to sleep all weekend. i'm so psyched you've got the bernie one and i'm psyched we're stacking them back to back. the town hall audiences getting to evaluate them back to back. >> sort of like this laboratory of democracy we're creating in philadelphia. >> it's going to be great. the only problem with it is that i'm following you. which is going to be difficult and nerve-racking. >> you need more practice. we'll see. >> thanks, my friend, see you monday. thanks for joining us this hour. one of the unexpected news stories of this decade, one of the unexpected things that has happened all over the country, particularly in the last five years, is that there has been a huge and rapid escalation in

>> as remembrances continue to pour in. >> this morning we played "purple rain" and "delirious" just to get warmed up. >> when "all in" starts right now. good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. tonight, new evidence the trump campaign is a bait and switch that many have been predicting. while donald trump has been campaigning over the last 24 hours in delaware and pennsylvania, working to clinch the nomination, his new chief aide, paul manafort, has been on a different mission -- to sell his candidate to the republican establishment. and bombshell audio from a private meeting in florida between manafort and top republican officials shows just how he is doing it. by assuring members of the rnc the trump onstage and trump behind closed doors are two entirely different people. >> when he's sitting in a room, he's talking business, he's talking politics in a private room, it's a different persona. when he's out on the stage, when he's talking about the kinds of things he's talking about on the stump, he's projecting an image that's for that purpose. and the two you'll start to see come together in the course of the next several months. >> manafort working to rebrand trump, promising an evolving candidate who's been playing a part to win the primary. >> that's what's important from our standpoint, for you to understand that he gets it and the part he's been playing is evolving into the part you've been expecting but he wasn't ready for because he had to see through the first phase. negatives will come down, image is going to change, but it's still going to be crooked hillary and that's what you're going to be seeing a lot more of. >> applause. just hours ago at a rally in delaware, trump didn't shy away from the notion he will change as a candidate once he wins the primary, promising an upcoming pivot to being more "presidential." >> ivanka says, dad, please be more presidential. i say, i can't, i have to beat these people, i don't want to be too presidential yet. being presidential for me is much easier than doing this. and you know what? fif if i was totally presidential we have 10,000 people here or something, i'd have about 300 and you'd be falling asleep after 20 minutes. we have to have a little. but honestly, i probably wouldn't be here. because i was hit really hard by these 17 people. i was hit really, really hard. and if i didn't hit them back really, really harder, i wouldn't be here. >> for those who believe the trump campaign is a con job and elaborate bait and switch in which he convinces a credulous base to vote for him then does an about-face in the general -- the comments from manafort echoed by trump were the evidence they needed. and ted cruz campaigning earlier today in pennsylvania immediately seized on them. >> donald's campaign is now run by a washington lobbyist who has been a lobbyist for 40 years. they brought in an army of lobbyists who are running the entire campaign. yesterday they were down in florida meeting with party leaders and they were saying, these are their words, that all of this is just a show. that he doesn't believe anything he's saying. he's just trying to fool gullible voters and he's not going to do any of it, he's not going to build a wall, he's not going to deport anyone. he is telling us he is lying to us. >> ted cruz is certainly right about at least one thing, donald trump's campaign is now officially being run by washington lobbyists. the very people he spent much of his campaign rallying against. it's not just any lobbyists who are in charge of this phase of the campaign, but, well, some of the -- well, the most unsavory lobbyists possible. paul manafort, who has brought in several of his friends, has spent decades in washington, d.c. working for some of the worst people in the world. literally. as political reports. the firm he helped found developed a niche representing a roster of controversial international clients that has been described as the torturers lobby. clients including filipino dictator marcos, a group accused of being a front for pakistani intelligence, and most recently ousted ukrainian prime minister yanukovych. when asked about his past clients, including the ousted ukrainian prime minister, widely seen as corrupt who fled to rash, manafort says he's always careful about who he chooses to work for. >> you have controversial clients in your past. some current, some in the past. has mr. trump asked you to stop working for certain clients, stop doing work in ukraine if it's against america's national security? >> the work i was doing in ukraine was to help ukraine get into europe and we succeeded. but i'm not working for any clients right now other than mr. trump. >> and are you going to make a promise in the future that if he's president you'll be careful what clients you take? >> i'm always careful what clients i take. >> joining me, ken vogel, chief investigative reporter for politico, who wrote a fantastic piece on the lobbyists the trump campaign brought in. a great piece. it's almost like the thank you for smoking book and movie by the same name. if you were to create a cartoonish vision of what people's worst image of what a washington lobbyist does, the manafort operation is not that far from it. >> not only that, chris, not only do they represent all manner of sort of corporate criminals, accused corporate criminals, and industries that are regarded as unsavory in washington, manafort has pioneered taking this business model and making it international. representing just a host of characters around the world who u.s. foreign policy, the u.s. foreign policy community, frankly wants noing to do with. so much so that in 2008 there was a guy who was a long-time manafort aide, just brought into the campaign, a guy by the name of doug davenport, whose work on behalf of the purpose he's military giunta was seen as so unsavory that the mccain campaign distanced itself from him and he basically had to resign. as a result of that it's interesting that we see no such qualms by the trump campaign about bringing in these types of folks because trump unlike mccain has made a central part of his political identity the idea that he's not beholden to lobbyists and he doesn't play this washington game, yet here he is with a staff that has been taken over to some extent, to almost a complete extent, by paul manafort, who is bringing in all these folks with whom he has close ties, most of whom he worked with in lobbying. >> it's really astounding. then you have him in almost in 47% moment in this taped audio basically saying, don't worry, that's just for the rubes. he's not crazy, he's one of us! and i don't know if it's going to hurt him or not but man alive it really sounds like at this point they're saying the soft part loud and the loud part softly. >> yeah, i think that some of that is actually attention that is going on not just within the trump campaign but within donald trump himself. and that to some extent paul manafort is the human embodiment of his ego. the guy who's telling him, hey, we need to adapt and change, we need to play by the rules, traditional washington rules, even though you've thumbed your nose at them so successfully, it's time to pivot here. whereas the folks he had around him previously, trump that is, the old campaign regime, headed by campaign manager corey lewandowski who's been supplanted by manafort, they were like donald trump's id, let's donald be donald, let mr. trump be mr. trump and encouraged him to fly by the seat of his pants. now manafort making a course correction and admitting something that you're not supposed to admit publicly. if you do admit it privately irk make sure there are no recorders in the room. >> not only admitting that but then you've got the crazy fourth wall moment of trump himself now saying, a new line of his, if i acted presidential, none of you -- i'm just doing this for attention transparently, and so far it's working. it's a very bizarre message for a presidential candidate. >> and actually, i'll add one more thing. from our sources tell us that in fact manafort's admission, recorded and then obviously publicly disseminated, actually really bothered trump. our sources tell us that. he was really put off by this. despite the fact that he's out there publicly saying something that's not too different. he wants it to be this sort of open and transparent process where when admits, hey, i'm playing the political game but that's not really who i am. to have someone else representing him to these washington power brokers oddly seemed to be a bridge too far for him. and again, we understand that he was upset by that. >> really, the development of the manafort character coming into this play in the second act is really something. ken vogel, thanks so much for joining me. >> it's a pleasure. >> dakatie packer, founder of t anti-trump pac, our priorities. first your reaction. this confirms i guess precisely the kind of story you and your allies have been telling about trump for months now. >> well, i mean, trump is the guy that's almost 70 years old, i don't think he's a leopard that's going to change his spots any time soon. i think it's telling that he felt he needed to bring in this whole slew of washington lobbyists, and like your first story mentioned, just representing sort of the dredges of the international society, to try to remake him in their image. and of course they want to reassure people that the guy that they've seen for the last year isn't the guy that's going to represent them, because republicans are terrified of that. this is a guy that just has no character, has no grace, no class, no dignity, and is totally unsuited to be president of the united states. and rnc members recognize it. >> that may be true. the members may recognize it. but let me just sketch out the landscape. he had a pretty good night in new york. he lost a few delegates. i think you and i both agree he's going to have a very good night on tuesday night. that is his sort of geographic, demographic stronghold. indiana looks like a more favorable terrain. here's the polling out of indiana. he's up by 8 points in the latest polling, 41-33. to california, june 7th, 49-22 over ted cruz right now. if those numbers were to hold, he's going to get to 1237. and all this talk about who's got the people on the floor and all that, that's a moot point, how soon just going to walk in and have the nomination. >> not necessarily. the media is very, very fixated on state wins. and what our effort is focused on is delegate wins. he can win california as long as we can pick at a substantial number of those delegates that are available to us congressional district by congressional district. even on tuesday we expect him to have some substantial wins. but we're going to pick away at his delegate count in several different congressional districts are in new york we didn't expect to take any delegates out of there, and without spending a nickel we were able to take five delegates out of there. we feel really good about the notion that we can stop him. he's still at a point he doesn't have a majority of republican voters or a majority of delegates. he's not in the kind of position that mitt romney or john mccain were in the last two cycles or george w. bush was back when he ran. and so this still has time to play out. >> here's my question for you. i'm asking honestly, i can't tell how much the never trump is you and about 15 other like-minded people, or whether it's got some -- there's an actual constituency there. there's a constituency behind ted cruz, that i understand. there are people that have his politics, they like ted cruz's messable, a messableage, and they match. the idea of an institution at movement around blocking trump, how broad is that? how much is that just like a fairly small group of people who are essentially like professional republicans? >> well, i think that you see in our donors, we've got a broad group of donors that are supporting our effort. we've got people that follow our efforts. we had over 1 million views on the last video that we put out to try to stop trump in wisconsin. we had a very broad coalition of people that came together. we were sending the message that in wisconsin, cruz is the candidate that can stop him. i think we had some people coming over from the kasich camp. what we're trying to do is guide a strategy and say, neither kasich nor cruz at this point can get to the 1237 delegates they need prior to the convention, so we need everybody to be working together to stop trump from getting there too, then we can throw it open on the convention floor. a are the of people are excited about that. >> why are they so excited about that prospect? >> well, i think they're hopeful that there's some other option. like i said, donald trump still doesn't have a majority of republicans and a majority of republicans are sort of terrified that this guy is in a position that he could be our party's standbearer and god forbid president of the united states. so they're really excited about the opportunity that we might be able to actually get somebody that has a shot at beating hillary clinton, which donald trump does not. >> all right, katie packer, thanks for joining me, really appreciate it. still to come, the campaign many didn't think would make it this far, including perhaps the candidate himself. the secret weapon

>> as if that weren't bad enough there's another grainy, more fearmongering, apocalyptic ted cruz bathroom ad. ♪ >> people go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate. >> north carolina and mississippi both recently adopted wildly discriminatory laws designed in part, among other things, to prevent trans people from using the restroom of the gender with which they identify. and today the backlash against both states went international in a news conference with british prime minister david cameron, president called for the law to be overturned while cameron explained why the uk now has a travel warning for any lgbt citizens looking to travel to mississippi or north carolina. >> our view on any of these things is that we believe that we should be trying to use more to end discrimination rather than to embed it or enhance it. and that's something we're comfortable saying to countries and friends anywhere in the world. >> yesterday this trans woman posted this photo on instagram. the caption in part, here i am using a women's restroom in north carolina that i'm technically barred from being in, making all the more absurd and terrified images being used by cruz and others. thank god no adult man has ever molested a child of the same sex or we'd have to figure out bathroom laws like the boys' shower at york she will high in illinois when future speaker of the house, then wrestling coach dennis hastert, an alleged seer yag sex abuser, allegedly set up a chair. according to the government's court filing in support of hastert's sentencing for illegal bank structuring charge related to alleged seer yag sexual aviews, individual d was a member of defendant's york she will high school wrestling team, defendant put a chair in direct view of the shower stalls in the locker room where he sat while the boys shourd. it is a lot more convenient to paint the picture of terrifying strangers when talking about something like that. joining me now, chase strangeio, it's great to have you here. i want to get to the law. this is a pet peeve of mine. the way our society talks about sex offenders and children is always in the terms of the scary stranger and never in the terms of what actually is the far more likely, which is the coach or the teacher or the priest or the caretaker. and it drives me insane. >> yeah, i think what this all shows that is we grossly misunderstand how violence happens, we grossly misunderstand how abuse happens, and what we do instead is scapegoat and target vulnerable people in this case trans people who are the most vulnerable people to abuse in bath rolls, in fact. that's what we're looking at right now and it's devastating for the community. >> has this -- how do you read the politics of this moment? my read of it is that their internal polling in indiana is telling them the base likes this. >> yeah, i think it's hard to know what exactly is going on in terms of the politics. obviously mccrory in north carolina believed that this was a sure-fire campaign issues. and he went full force, passing this law through a special session that targeted transgender people. now we're in a crisis mode. as far as i'm concerned, for the trans community, it doesn't really matter what's going on with the politics behind this because this really is reaching the level where people in north carolina are scared, they're not going to the bathroom. so it rings hollow when president obama tells lgbt people in the uk, for example, that they're going to be treated just fine when they go to north carolina and mississippi, when in fact we know that people aren't going to the bathroom and are fearing all sorts of policing. >> do the folks you work with, that you hear from in your legal work, does it feel like a target's on their back? >> absolutely. i think transgender people have felt a target on their back for a very long time. and there is -- >> they don't need these laws to feel that way, right. >> we don't need new laws to feel that way, trans people feel criminalized, targeted. trans women of color are being targeted on the street. a new wave of legislation making it even more scary to be a trans person. and my clients in north carolina, for example, they are not going to the bathroom. which we know to be incredibly harmful. and they're also fearing all sorts of policing, from actual law enforcement officers, but from other people in restrooms where they feel that they're going to be assaulted when they're just trying to go to the bathroom. >> do you think that this represents a moment, essentially this fight as a political fight, is a fight that if one politically can actually push out the front tier of understanding equality, compassion, rights, et cetera? >> i think if we win it in the right way, it's a matter of really putting forth trans people and saying, you know, take ted cruz's despicable, distorted ad and saying, first of all, this is not about men and women's bathrooms, this is about women in women's bathrooms, transgender women. we have to understand trans women are women. we have to put at the center of this conversation who we're actually talking about so people aren't afraid of that which is different and we don't keep expemming transgendered people from public life. >> to look at that instagram photo going around yesterday in comparison to the ad, it's just sort of the perfect obvious visual rejoineder. >> yeah, i think that "the daily show" did a piece recently about the absurdity of this trans panic and the reality is that so many trans people are living these completely innocuous, normal, boring lives. here you have this fearmongering that is completely counter to how we walk about in the world. it is very dangerous because it sends the message that a trans person is a predator, that a trans woman is not a woman. and that is precisely the rhetoric and understanding that people walk around in the world with that caused them to attack trans people for just existing. that is not where we needed to be headed as a country. >> chase, thank you so much for coming, that was excellent. >> thanks for having me. >> a look at some of the tributes to prince that took place around the country last night, including this stunning performance from the broadway cast of "the color purple." we'll play it as an amazing moment right towards the end. s . if there's a breaking point, we'll find it. it's hard to stop a trane. really hard. there it is... this is where i met your grandpa. right under this tree. ♪ (man) some things are worth holding onto. they're hugging the tree.

joining me, political reporter for the "new york times" nick confessore. this question of how, i don't know, extraordinary this fund-raising apparatus they put in place has been. >> it's the first time in history it's happened, i think. look, sanders runs on solar power. he's the first candidate to run on solar pawer. he never runs out. his people give to him even if it's not looking good for him. the usual inducement is to drop out, as you said. money or pressure from the party. are not going to apply to him. >> right. and remember, big-money donors give for two reasons. ideological support or personal support. and because they want to back the winner. which is part of the reason that you get a vicious cycle in most races. as it becomes clear you're not going to win, it's like, why am i giving money to jeb bush? he's not going to be next president of the united states. bernie sanders supporters are not giving money because when he wins they'll be able to call up bernie sanders. >> or have an ambassadorship or appointment to some post. >> right. >> his people believe in what he's leaving in the movement and that's what makes him different and formidable against hillary clinton. i think when he has problems in the polls or problems in some of these states it makes them give him more money because they see he needs it. his message is built around needing and wanting just money, grassroots, it isn't a half and half thing, add-on. >> right. there's also the fact that one of the other things that complicates things is that hillary clinton has to still keep raising money. she doesn't have the same -- she's got donors who are tapped out because they've macsed out. bernie sanders doesn't have that issue. as you go further along, it gets harder to raise because you're working your way through the list of macsed-out donors. >> she has to find new max-out donors for primary to keep her numbers up. unless she can boost her small donors herself. and her numbers are not that bad. otherwise she has to find new people, rich people, who can give that maximum check. when they've given it, it's done for the cycle, or for the primary i should say. >> there's the case that she has super pacs and he doesn't. there's the national nurses union which has been doing some ads, which as super pac. but those super pac dollars, they don't pay for staffers. one of the things we've learned in this campaign is, hard money kouchts for a lot because that's actually what you run your campaign on. >> look, she has more cash on hand than bernie sanders. >> and spending less. >> exactly. although she's spending more than she's raising each month this year. which is interesting. she's underwater. but the game of chicken right here is that her super pac does not want to spend its money on bernie sanders. this is the advertising arm of the super pac, to correct the record, is spending money to oppose him. but the big ads, $100 million in stock, right, is trying to save it for the general against the koch brothers. >> the question is how long will they wait and how bad does it have to get for them to pull the trigger on some money against bernie sanders? >> and i think that's probably explains some of the frustration around the people in the clinton circle, which is from their perspective, christmas zero sum. you, bernie sanders, who are not going to win the nomination, are taking resources from the fixed pie of what we can spend. >> correct. the view of the clinton world is you can't win but you can keep raising money and forcing us to spend money. she has spent $20 million on ads in states that are not going to be in play in the general election. it's not a lot against a billion-dollar campaign put it begins to add up over time. >> from sanders' perspective, fair to say he's not looking for some big personal trade-in. he doesn't want to be secretary of state. >> right. the usual back and forth. the also-rans kind of want a role in the new regime of some kind. he does not want that kind of role. i think he's at the head of a movement that believes the party has to be pressured from the inside. >> claims they want addressed. >> it's a big difference, to have a movement around these four issues, fracking, wall street, is a big difference than just a personality thing around a candidate. >> thank you, that was great. do not miss my exclusive town hall with bernie sanders in philadelphia this monday. that is going to be really interesting. it will be on the eve of that big primary tuesday and it will be right here at 8:00 p.m. coming up, the stunning turn of events for my beloved and benighted baseball team that was even more stunning than it first appeared. later the health care experiment in colorado that's so crazy it just might work. ♪ type 2 diabetes doesn't care who you are. man. woman. or where you're from. city. country. we're just everyday people fighting high blood sugar. ♪ i am everyday people, yea, yea. ♪ farxiga may help in that fight every day. along with diet and exercise, farxiga helps lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. one pill a day helps lower your a1c. and, although it's not a weight-loss or blood-pressure drug, farxiga may help you lose weight and may even lower systolic blood pressure when used with metformin. do not take if allergic to farxiga or its ingdients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you have any of these symptoms stop taking farxiga and seek medical help right away. do not take farxiga if you have severe kidney problems, are on dialysis, or have bladder cancer. tell your doctor right away if you have blood or red color in your urine or pain while you urinate. farxiga can cause rious side effects, including dehydration, genital yeast infections in women and men, serious urinary tract infections, low blood sugar and kidney problems. stop taking farxiga and call your doctor right away if you have signs of ketoacidosis, which can be serious or life threatening. farxiga. we are everyday people. ♪ i am everyday people, yea, yea. ♪ ask your doctor if farxiga is right for you and visit farxiga.com to learn how you can get it for free. so we know how to covealmosten alanything.ything, even a stag pool party.

>> thanks for having me. there's been a number of kind of very dedicated single payer activists all over the country working methodically to build support for single payer. we've seen resolutions all across the country from cities and towns calling for single payer. but this is one of the first concrete steps to actually put that dream and make it a reality. so this is a state ballot measure. as you mentioned, very underreported, under the radar, that would actually change the colorado state constitution and set up a system that would allow for a true single payer system. so that means anyone in colorado who's a resident, there will be no health insurance premiums, no deductibles, paid for through a payroll tax and provide basically all care. health care, dental care, everything from a doctor's checkup to open-heart surgery. >> so there's that great phrase about laboratory is a democracy from a supreme court opinion, this is a great example, there's back and forth, can single payer work, can it not? do advocates think this is a sufficient scale for it to work or do you get all sorts of unintended consequences if you just set it up in one state? >> there's a big debate over that, right? for single payer system to be as successful as it could be it needs to be large. just like any health insurance pool. so of course a national pool would be much more effective. it would be a stronger barring kneel unit than a state or county or city. but this is an interesting step. if colorado is successful in this endeavor, it could prove as an example for other states and maybe even the federal government. >> how does it look on the other side of this?

i believe definitely in the higher power that gave me this talent. if you go no the studio alone and come out with it, you'd do that every day, wouldn't you? >> i think he did it every day. and there was so much of it. it was a problem for his career. because he fought with the record company not over not producing but over overproducing. he wanted to put out stuff faster, he wanted to put out stuff as it came to him. a typical music career is you put out an album, tour it for a year or two, put out another album. prince wanted to put out triple albums and maybe another one later that year. >> that was the initial fight with warner brothers was essentially oversupplying the market, glutting the market with prince music. >> yes. >> when he is just saying basically, i'm sitting here channelling this stuff, i need this to come out of me. >> yeah, it was almost compulsive. but there was so much good stuff. even the stuff that is relegated to the ends of albums and stuff that isn't as good as the great stuff, there's still such a musical mind going on. great rhythms, tunes. he's funny, smart. he's also very socially concerned. we think of prince as this sex symbol. the guy who wrote the most lascivious song in the world. also songs like "sign of the times" one of the first songs about aids in 1987. in 2004 he wrote a very pointed specific anti-discrimination song "cinnamon girl." just last year he went to baltimore and played that concert and wrote the song about baltimore. >> i was learning yesterday, a great article about he was writing so many songs, writing songs for other people as well. i learned yesterday that "manic monday" is a prince song, the bengals. "nothing compares to you," a song i love, i knew was a prince song before sinead o'connor had a big hit. he's writing so many songs he's giving them away. >> he didn't even initially record "nothing compares to you," it was recorded by a group called the family. here's a prince song, i don't have room for it on my album, go ahead and record it. >> i was watching old interviews, his relationship with his parents, hi father particularly. he was so technically adept. there's a sense in which he was this genius. he came from a musical family. his father talked about being drilled in musicpy his dad. >> he was but the discipline was always there. his high school newspaper interviewed him about being a music star. he was already in high school good enough to be getting attention as our great musician. he started writing songs when he was 7. he just had it in him. there is incredible discipline involved in being a musician that involves being alone and practicing and learning your instrument. and he did that. one of the great things about him was he was good at both this incredibly solitary practice of making a song all by himself, playing every instrument, singing every vocal by himself in the studio, night after night. but then he would go out in this -- into an arena and touch everybody in that public arena. >> thanks so much for joining us. that is all for this evening. tune in on monday at our normal time for my special town hall bernie sanders followed by a hillary clinton town hall hosted by rachel maddow. speaking of her, good evening rachel. >> i'm not going to sleep all weekend. i'm so psyched you've got the bernie one and i'm psyched we're stacking them back to back. the town hall audiences getting to evaluate them back to back. >> sort of like this laboratory of democracy we're creating in philadelphia. >> it's going to be great. the only problem with it is that i'm following you. which is going to be difficult and nerve-racking. >> you need more practice. we'll see. >> thanks, my friend, see you monday. thanks for joining us this hour. one of the unexpected news stories of this

Transcripts For FOXNEWSW On The Record With Greta Van Susteren 20160423

were shot execution-style in a home about 20 miles, actually, the crime scenes were in four different homes 20 miles west of piketon in a tiny community called peebles. and there were four crime scenes. they were spaced apart. this is not something that the people of piketon are used to hearing. this is a community where young couples would go to raise a child and do it freely with leaving your doors open and, you know, your windows unlocked at night. and tonight that's not something they're doing. >> very disturbing. now, any suspects or clues that they're pursuing at this time? they are not framing it as such as an active shooting. they must have some information to be able to say that. >> that's correct. the attorney general is not framing this as an active shooting. however, they say that there are no suspects right now. no one is in custody. and the gunman or gunmen, plural, still out there tonight. and they are actively searching for whomever is responsible for this heinous act. >> okay. if anybody has tips or clues or information or some leads on, this who should they contact? >> they should contact the ohio bureau of criminal investigation. that's 1-855-ohio-bci. that's 1-855-ohio-bci. that is a clearing house for all of the tips in this case. >> all right. well, hopefully, they will get the person or individuals responsible in custody so that community can be a little bit at peace. it must be very harrowing right now. thank you very much. >> absolutely. >> how will cops try to track down this dangerous murderers? "on the record" ted williams is here. before ted was a lawyer he was a homicide detective and he was putting away the bad guys. catching them and locking them up. ted, a pleasure to be here tonight. >> same with you. >> if you heard the interview before, he is saying that the attorneys are not saying that it an active shooting, the a.g. there, instead saying that there is a suspect or potential suspects out there. but so it's kind of curious to me that they would say that. >> well, you are absolutely right. that tells me that law enforcement is holding something very close to their vest. what we do know, there is one common thread here that all of the members executed were of the same family. so, that is certainly something that law enforcement is going to try to find or follow up on, kimberly, to try to determine what was the motive. and who very well could very well have been involved in the killing of these eight individuals. >> you wonder. there must have been some compelling clues left at the scene. especially with such a horrible crime scene. perhaps there was trace of who, perhaps, was responsible. maybe they don't want to tip them off. but they would have to know more than they're telling us at this hour and hopefully that means that they have some kind of lead or idea about who they are after. >> i would have to agree with you, kimberly. they probably have persons or persons of interest in mind. they don't want to tip anything up. when you have massive crime scenes at four different locations, you leave a lot of trace evidence. it is highly unlikely that they did not -- i would assume that they would have someone in mind. >> i would think so. when you look at the common thread that they were all related. we see so many times myself as a former prosecutor, you as a homicide detective, attorney. domestic situations gone awry where you have people who carry out mass killings of one family. it's very disturbing. i'm sure they are taking a look at some of the familiarial relationships as well. >> you are on target with that once the common thread that these are all family members. so what they are trying to do is determine what is the motive? is there someone that had a beef against one family member? and they also have probably ruled out a murder/suicide. because if it was a murder-suicide they would probably have found a gun or guns and could very well have traced that. >> one of the first things you do, ted. okay, these are the family members that are present. who is missing? who is not here? who is unaccounted for? >> or who has had a beef. i understand there may have been some kids that survived and they very well could give them some information that will lead to the killers or killer in regard to these individuals. >> most certainly time is of the essence. we will be bringing any breaking news on that as the show continues. ted, thank you so much for your time. >> my pleasure. >> this is a fox news alert. isis is trying to come to the u.s. through mexico. an american man accused of trying to join isis telling investigators the brutal terror group wants to open routes from syria to the u.s. that goes straight through mexico. fox news correspondent bryan llenas is here to talk about it. britain, what can you tell us? this is very disturbing report pause so much discussion is going on in the press and news these days about open borders and the direct threat that it relates to national security. >> good evening, kimberly. that's exactly right. 21-year-old ollie omar, prosecutors say that he tried. he had conversations with his accomplices and other people here about trying to enter syria through mexico by crossing the border. then he intended to tell isis how exactly he did that so that isis could then use that exact same route to get into the united states from mexico and bring fighters to potentially mount attacks in the united states. now, he is one of four accomplices who was arrested a year ago to the day to this month in minnesota for conspiring to really provide material aid or support to isis. this was a big-time investigation in minnesota. we are talking about a 10 month investigation. 10 people were arrested for conspiring to provide material to isis. five of those people pled guilty. these four are fighting it in court and the trial is on may 9th. one of those men is actually believed to have made it into syria. in terms of the wiretap conversations and the informant, they have these guys talking about wanting to kill an fbi agent. they have him talking about wanting to use homemade rockets to shoot down civilian airlines. and at one point, it's not only the fact that they have these conversations about wanting to enter through the mexican border, but it's also the intent. some of these men were caught in airports, in san diego. one caught by the fbi on a plane bordering in new york intending to head to syria. so it's not just somebody who is just saying these things, prosecutors say. they are clearly trying. >> they are not theorizing on it. they are actually actively pursuing. this really the question is how serious is the threat on the border right now? >> homeland security, the u.s. government, mexico will tell you there is no hard evidence of isis or foreign terrorist organizations on the border. it's just not there. they will tell you that there are more middle eastern immigrants that are trying to enter the country. we have seen the up particular between 2006 and 2011. we have seen about 1900 middle eastern immigrants or more trying to come in recently we saw eight syrians trying to cross from texas. they were cleared. the bottom line is that while there is no real hard evidence, they look at what is happening in europe. he had look at hamas and how they went into cartels using tunnels. from mexico into the united states. and so now you have got people saying clearly if somebody like this in minnesota have this idea and wants to help isis to find routes into the united states they can like any other cartel find come in. that's the thought process. >> there is that narcoty with isis terror groups and al qaeda. >> were they will deny it. >> those are the people we have caught. what about the ones that pierce through. all right, brian, thank you so much for your time this evening. >> 2016 g.o.p. frontrunner donald trump warned of this very threat we have been discussing before he even began his presidential run. >> you can certainly have terrorists. you can certainly have islamic terrorists. you can have anything coming across the border. we don't do anything about it. >> form everywhere arizona governor and donald trump supporter governor jan brewer goes "on the record." if anybody knows about the borders in this country and the threat that it produces to us, to have these open borders for people to get through, it is the governor tonight. so thank you for being with us. >> thank you, kimberly. >> so how serious is the threat on the u.s. borders tonight? >> well, certainly those of us that live along the border and border states, we are concerned. i think the population of citizens in arizona, of course, we are the pathway and we know that the borders are open. and that people are coming across. all kinds of description. and now that we have recordings of people right here amongst us intending to make a route going out of mexico, to inform the terrorists that they can take that same route in, i think that we should all be alarmed. we have stood up and we have cried out to our federal government to borders. and we have seen what has happened in western europe. and there is no reason why it can't happen here in the united states. it's alarming. >> so i want to talk to you a little bit about your endorsement of presidential candidate donald trump and border control you said before played an important role in your decision to endorse him and how do you feel that his immigration and border patrol policy will help to keep people like isis and other terror groups from getting into the u.s.? >> well, i think that mr. trump understands the necessity of the federal government doing their job and by securing our borders by building the wall. getting more boots on the ground. using technology so that people in the united states will feel safe and certainly the people in the border states will feel safe and that people that ranch and farm along the border can walk outside their property without being fearful. it's a disgrace that our federal government doesn't step up and do something and now we have got a presidential candidate that's a leader who will probably be the next president of the united states that will have open ears to listen to us. you know, we shouldn't have to have people, kimberly, in my opinion, out there screaming outloud secure our borders, do your job. and then the federal government tell us that we can't do it. >> especially when you hear all the reports. people basically just walking right across the border. what's to prevent someone like an isis recruit like we heard in the previous story of dog the very same thing and taking the routes that they were successful to be able to penetrate and cross from telling others the same way to do it? >> absolutely. i mean, it just makes common sense. anybody can understand that if everybody else is coming across, why can't the terrorists come across? and they don't like us and they don't have any consideration whatsoever for life. and, you know, they are willing to blow anybody up at any time. and we need to be protected and we need a president that will protect us and donald trump brought it back on the forefront and for those of us that believe in a secure border and the rule of law, we thank him for that. >> yes. and there is open terrorism forums on the internet talking about this exact thing and how easy it is to get into the united states. governor, thank you so much. >> thank you, kimberly. >> now to the 2016 battle, brand new fox news polls just released, donald trump holding a big lead in the golden state. the fox news poll of likely republican california voters has donald trump with 49%. senator ted cruz is 27 points behind trump with 22. and governor john kasich is in third place with 20%. and indiana trump is in the lead but by a smaller margin 41% of likely g.o.p. voters picked trump. 8 points behind trump is senator ted cruz with 33%. much tighter there and governor john kasich rounding out the field with 16%. the "on the record" political panel is here to make sense of all the numbers from "the washington post philip bump and from the national review ian. thank you so much for being with me here tonight. what do you make, philip of the numbers. >> it's almost certainly going to come down to california. there is not really any path that donald trump has to get the delegates he needs before california. the big question has been how well can he do there in the problem is he has to do well in all a 3 congressional districts. he needs to wins a much as he can. three delegates for each one that he wins. this poll suggests he is going to win a lot of them. between indiana and california that's 60% of the delegates he needs north to clinch the nomination. that's very good news for the trump campaign. >> ian how do you see. >>it that's right. the thing that's curious about california is the demographics are so varied across the state that to quote 538 which you essentially have 52, 53 microprimaries going on across the state. so for the cruz organization that's had just fantastic data mining so far throughout their campaign, you know, you go to a district like they did here in new york, you try to find, you know, a district that has a very small number of republicans, and you make a hard sell to them and try to flip some of those districts. you can pinpoint that might come to you. that's three delegates and you help to slowly chip away at trump's total. >> you can slowly chip away. but at some point there is a titanic iceberg, philip, where you say is it mathematically impossible at this point for ted cruz to be able to overtake donald trump? and that's what it seems like especially with the big victory in new york. >> right. well, cruz can't win the 1237 delegates that he needs to. ted cruz did try to do that in new york and target particular congressional delegates. he blew him out. he didn't win any. >> trying to do in california. >> try to do it there. if you have a margin like this carry through the state even if ted cruz does better in the more central hispanic valley. this is definitely good news for the donald trump campaign? does it mean is he going to hit the 1237? not necessarily. there is still a lot of time left. >> what is the strategy going forward? try to get to a contested convention and hope that you can win it on second ballot or something? >> first, indiana is very important. indiana is a must win state for cruz. and if he doesn't and this poll is about what we saw loading up to wisconsin. remember, cruz took wisconsin by 13 points. hard push in the last two weeks. that's about right where we are now. there is that possibility. and then, you know, you pluck away some delegates out of california, you win. so western states, which cruz is likely to do. trump basically has to overperform in almost all of the states going forward to hit 1237. good models suggest that he is going to to been 80 away from that so, at that point, we get to the fun of a convention. >> and what do you think just real quick in the few seconds left. if we get to that and it's like okay, he's that short, it's like this short, you know. 99 out of the 100-yard dash. >> this is why he went down to florida to talk to republican leaders. he wants to get them to just sort of acquiesce and say type, okay, if you are close enough, then you will have the nomination and line up the unpledged delegates that you need. july is a long way away. i don't think they want to fight for the next three months. >> you have to think about the general election and coming together as a party. never a dull moment. so, panel, thank you so much for being here. brand new democrat polls also just released. right? secretary hillary clinton and senator bernie sanders locked in a very tight race among likely democratic voters in california. secretary clinton leads 48% to senator sanders 46%. indiana among likely democratic voters. secretary clinton leads 46% to senator sanders 42%. what are your thoughts about this? let's go dem for a second. >> sure. well, you know, sanders has overperformed, i think, throughout this race. but there is really no way, no path forward i can see in which he claims the nomination. not only because he is not going to be able to take the pledged delegates to the convention but also because of super delegates. i just don't see any mathematical likelihood of his being able to claim it. >> philip, there is a lot of people very frustrated by this that are really passionate bernard supports. he is giving the presumptive nominee a run for her money. outperforming her in so many fund raising efforts as well. >> exactly right. it has some irony to it. look, he has won the battle. is he going to win. which is that he pulled hillary clinton to the left. he got his name out there. he got his issues out there more importantly. he built up a huge base of support that now he can make deals with hillary clinton to figure out what it takes in order for him to do an endorsement. he is not going to win the pledged delegate count unless something catastrophic happens to hillary clinton. >> like indictment? >> like any number of things, quite frankly. that's not going to happen. california, yes, she is only up 2% in california. he would have to win 75% to 25% to make up the delegate count as it stands right now. it's not going to happen. >> so at one point they have to say who is going to get out. is he going to drop out at some point trying to get a piece for himself? try to get a position. don't go away. 2016 presidential field is narrowed down to five candidates remaining. what about a possible vice president? that's next. also, prince's autopsy has just been completed. "on the record" takes you to prince's homecoming up. stay with us. ♪ little red corvette ♪ baby, much too fast ♪ little red corvette p?p?h wild 2016 race moving on to choose a nominee. will will the democrats and republicans choose as vice presidential nominee. the "on the record" political panel is working hard on a friday. gentlemen, great to have you pack after that beef break. philip, i hear a lot of discussion about this. i don't know why, i'm very intrigued by it geraldo on on the five when he is on with us is constantly talking about cory booker is going to be hillary clinton's vice presidential candidate. what do you think about that idea and who else do you think would be good for her? >> i don't think so. >> sorry, geraldo. >> no offense. they are not going to want to pick a senator who is in a state that has a republican governor. they are just not going want to do that. you don't want to lose a seat in the senate particularly with the senate as split. you are not going to want to do that jamel hole writes for slate makes a good point. person now so polarized 2008 and 2012. not many independents in the middle you don't need to worry too much about the geography in the way we used to got to get somebody to balance this and balance that. actually look for someone who might be a good legislator. jamel talks about tim kaine in virginia. there are a lot of folks out there. you hear about castro. there are a lot of names out there. i feel like we are putting the cart very much in front of the horse on this. a lot of time and a lot of stuff. >> like to do that how do you see, this ian. >> for the democrats, i don't think it matters a whole lot. castro would probably be a good choice, especially if trump is the nominee iment congratulation is a big deal on the republican side. messenger. on the republican side, this is just a roller coaster because, you know, we are in this situation where donald trump has already said he is not going to vet for a vice presidential nominee until he has the nomination. john kasich may be the only person in history who is actually more likely to be a vice presidential nominee and is looking for a president to put on his ticket. so that leaves cruz. if you are cruz, what do you do? do you look for someone who is going to help you claim the delegates at the convention? do you look for someone who is going to help you hold trump voters who say they are not going to come over to you, or do you look for somebody who is going to pull independents from the democrats if you are the nominee. >> you want someone who is going to do all of those things. >> exactly. >> i think kasich or rubio. what do you think?

was there an underlying medical condition that this was then taking some kind of medication was exacerbating to cause his death. the report is very telling that he wasn't in good physical condition, didn't seem to be doing well. one of the last times he was seen. >> i will give you one more, again, and i am very cautious about what i say because this case is ongoing, but there is facts that lead you towards what may have happened. one other fact about percocet in general is we are told that prince had major issues with his hips. he had a surgery performed on his hips around 2010 for extreme pain. this guy is a legend. he was all over the stage, jumping around, wearing those you awesome high heel boots. we are told as he got older he had to have surgery and had issues with his hips. very painful. whether or not that's connected to the pain killer that he had taken, whether or not that could have led to ultimately his death, whether what happened to him six days before his death, whatever happened, could have connected to the death. all of those things weren't connected yet but it does seem in my opinion i have worked on the michael jackson case, very specifically when this went on. i feel like they may start pulling a lot of those records and we will hear about that in the days to come. >> all right. well, hopefully they will get to the bottom of that mike and tmz thank you very much as always. >> all right. >> for the first time, we are hearing the emergency dispatch calls relouised by tmz -- released by tmz as paramedics rush to do prince's home. now, police are releasing the 911 transcripts from when prince was found inside his home. mike tobin is live outside prince's minnesota compound with some of these grizzly details. mike? >> kimberly, the carver county sheriff jim olsen says law enforcement is investigating the death of prince primarily because it was unattended because he relatively was so young and, of course, because it was so sudden. there were no indications of trauma. no obvious indications of trauma. no indications of suicide. the last time anyone saw prince alive he was dropped off by staffers her at paisley park compound at 8:30 p.m. the next morning staffers had trouble getting ahold of him. they suspected something was wrong. >> staff members from paisley park had been able to -- had been unable to contact prince yesterday morning. and went to check on him. they found him unresponsive and called 911. >> now, part of the 911 call went as follows. from the staff who was still unidentified. we have someone who is unconscious. the dispatcher says what's the address? he had trouble finding the address. the staff said, um, we are at prince's house. the expacher, okay, do we know how that person died? the staff: i don't know. ultimately he said it was prince. emergency crews were dispatched and they arrived just after 9:30. by 10:07 it was determined that cpr could not save prince. prints have been turned over to the family now that the autopsy is complete. samples sent off for toxicology testing. the results of those toxicology tests may not be back for weeks according to a spokesperson for the county. on a lighter note, something that happened out here at the paisley park compound, we saw people emerge from the compound carrying boxes and boxes of pizza. and they handed them out to all of the fans and mourners who are streaming through this compound. >> so nice to be thinking about others during their time of grief and mourning. mike, thank you for that excellent report. and people across the country showing their love for prince as memorials are popping up. here's a memorial outside the club first avenue in minneapolis where prince often performed. and here in new york city, the famous apollo theater shows lyrics to prince's hit purple rain and landmarks lighting up in purple. here is the superdome where the new orleans saints play and denver union station shining bright indeed. some constellation for heart broken fans reportedly thousands of unreleased tracks that prince recorded. we'll could get new material for years to come. prince may have died of possible drug overdose. what signs did they look for in the autopsy? forensic pathologist dr. serial wecht here next. 16-year-old girl beaten to death in a high school bathroom? why haven't there been arrests? constipated? trust number one doctor recommended dulcolax use dulcolax tablets for gentle overnight relief suppositories for relief in minutes and stool softeners for comfortable relief of hard stools. dulcolax, designed for dependable relief ♪ just to demanding ♪ maybe i'm just like my father, too bold. >> the autopsy from music legend prince conducted today but it could still be weeks until all the tests are complete. so what clues are doctors looking for? forensic pathologist dr. serial wecht goes "on the record" tonight. dr. wecht, thank you so much for being here. did i specifically request you because i have many questions for you as americans sitting at home watching tonight do. we want to know what happened to prince. today they conducted the autopsy. however, they said they sent stuff to toxicology. we won't get answers back from that for weeks. how do you see this shaping up? >> first of all, they will have the answers long before then. they always take their time so that you folks in the news media don't bother them. they also want to put together everything with the investigative poem, law enforcement, et cetera, so they take their time. they will have the toxicology results in a matter of a few days and they have thick microscopic tissue slides back in a few days. they will everything they need from the medical examiner's standpoint. when you have an unexpected sudden death of a relatively young person, with no medical history in the absence of trauma. in the absence of any kind of foul play, in the absence of any kind of involvement by third parties or anything of environmental nature that might have possibly led to that death it, is, until proven otherwise, a drug death. obviously, you don't make that decision and i'm not criticizing them at all. they certainly must wait for the results. i think this has all the earmarks of a dug -- drug death. somebody found in that situation in an elevator by himself not calling for help, to my knowledge, no significant medical history. he was, i understand, somewhat i will a couple weeks or so ago. had to cancel some performances and then got better and performed very competently and then became sick again suddenly. and did not respond, had to have an emergency stop, et cetera. there is something that i have read i don't know if it's true that he was on percocet. it's a combination of oxycodone and acetaminophen. oxycodone known as oxycontin is a very powerful semi synthetic narcotic an nell joe's annual jesus -- -- it is why the way one of the most frequently encountered drugs in this incredible drug abuse epidemic that we are experiencing in the united states of america. acetaminophen is a mild annual -- like aspirin, but it adds a little bit to to that central nervous system depressant effect on top of the oxycodone. to so there could be other drugs involved here too. they will submit the specimens to the toxicology lab they use. they will examine tissues microscopically to make sure there is no myocar diets, inflammation in the heart muscle. when you have the type of history that i recited if it is accurate, there is nothing to explain that kind of up and down situation and sudden unexpected death in such a short period of time in a person of this age other than drugs. >> and an overdose just a few days prior where he had to be brought back to life, that -- and they didn't want to release him from the hospital. they have said he wasn't in good enough physical condition and was not doing well. i think that's also very telling in terms of the story and what happens here. >> yes. they probably gave him narcan opioid antagonist. the fact that he was able to recover and be released. i read that his people did not want him to stay because they couldn't get him a private room. whether that would have made any difference or not, i don't know, but they should have thought otherwise. >> he needed to be on medical supervision. we are tight on time, doctor. thank you very much for the incredible story. >> thank you. >> high school bathroom brawl turns deadly. honor role student beaten to death. my god. my god. and police don't have many great time for a shiny floor wax, no? not if you just put the finishing touches on your latest masterpiece. timing's important. comcast business knows that. that's why you can schedule an installation at a time that works for you. even late at night, or on the weekend, if that's what you need. because you have enough to worry about. i did not see that coming. don't deal with disruptions. get better internet installed on your schedule. comcast business. built for business. developing right now, horrific and deadly attack inside a delaware high school. a 16-year-old beautiful girl, brutally beaten when a fight breaks out in a school bathroom between several female students. right now, police have no motive and no charges have been filed in the death of amy joiner francis. the "on the record" legal panel is here to sort it out. former homicide detective and criminal defense attorney ted williams and former prosecutor indicate request phang. thanks -- katy phang. ted, we are giving you double doubts tonight. you can't imagine that something like this is happening in our schools. you send your child to school to get an education. not to get the life taken out of them. >> no. you don't i think all of our viewers know if you are in school and sad commentary and very unfortunate but that children will get in to fights and you hope that they don't turn out as tragic as this incident did. what is happening right now, the law enforcement is doing this like a puzzle. test test. kimberly. >> it's really tragic. i want to talk to you, katie, about some of the legal implications here. my goodness, have an obligation, a duty to keep children safe so that they are not beaten. could there be a lawsuit here. >> listen, it's possible. there was apparently one school resource officer assigned to the school. the school has 1,000 students. is that the proper ratio is left to be seen. in terms of what ted just said as well. apparently there is an allegation that some students stood by and took video of the beating when it happened. if that's the case, then there could be video graphic evidence of who were the assailants and what happened. said the day that she died she was going to settle the beef with some other people. was there premeditation? was there something on the part of the a say assail assailants that suggest that they planned on this girl's death. >> that could be very important what they charged. was there some kind of premeditation and planning? wasn't something accidental where she hit her head in scuffle. they will probably be looking at social media text messaging, instant messaging, all of the above. >> you are absolutely right, kimberly. i think it is highly unlikely under the circumstances as we now know it that these individuals will, in fact, be charged as adults these are juveniles, again, sadly and it shouldn't happen but it does happen. juveniles get in the fights. it's been happening since time and memorial. i'm not saying it's right. but the bottom line is there was somebody that said they heard that this victim may have very well hit her head. i don't know if it was accidental, incidental or what. >> they have to sort through that. witnesses or any video present at the time. ted and katy, my friend. thank you so much. >> thanks, guys. >> update on the manhunt for a mass murderer in ohio going on right now. the man leading that investigation. is he here next. this is a fox news alert. a massive manhunt is underway in the shooter or shooters who murdered 8 family members in ohio. ohio attorney general mike dewine who is overseeing this investigation goes "on the record" with us tonight. attorney general thank you for joining us. what is the very latest on this harrowing story? >> well, it's just a very sad story. i have never seen anything quite like it. i started my career as a county prosecuting attorney and this is horrible. we have eight family members killed during the night. killed in most cases in their own bed. we had fortunately there was the children, the small children, they were not harmed. there was a 6 month old, a 3-year-old and one who we believe is four days old. >> oh my god. >> and they were there when this happened. so it's just hard to -- you know, imagine someone doing this. of course, we don't know if it's one person or more than one person. >> multiple shooter. obtaining forensics at the scene and see if there was more than one weapon discharged and the kind of things you recover at the scene. i do notice in particular you are saying this is not an active shooter situation. so you must have some evidence to suggest that this was focused here on this family, that perhaps others in the community are not in danger? >> well, we're not going to far. i mean, we don't really know that. what we do know is that the eight people, none of them committed suicide. it clearly was someone else or people who came in and killed them. you know, we assume they are armed. they are obviously dangerous. and so we have really told the community just, you know, be careful. we've also told the other family members who are related to the eight people who died. >> >> be careful. >> to be very, very careful. we have offered them, you know, some help. >> protection? >> if they have any kind of problem. >> how about any leads in the fact of the matter sr. when you say you told other family members to be careful and you can offer them protection. it sounds like this is perhaps someone of interest or individuals of interest could be close, related or connect to do that family and perhaps that's how are looking for right now at this hour. >> well, i mean, logically, you think whether you have eight people who are killed and all in the same family. >> um-huh. >> you know, someone is clearly targeting that family for some reason. we don't really know why. but they clearly have been targeted. it just makes sense that if you are another member of the family, you know, you need to be very, very cautious. and very, very careful. because we, you know, this person could still be loose. i mean, we assume they're loss. we just don't know where they're. we don't know whether they're close here or whether they have fled. >> all right. give us the very latest on this. we will keep it on the channel. attorney general thank you for joining us, we appreciate it? >> good to be with you. >> do not miss a special live weekend edition of the five hosted by yours truly the five gang. that's tonight right here on fox news. greta back monday night. don't miss it. up next "the o'reilly factor." good night from new york city. welcome to "red eye." hello, everyone. i'm tom shillue. let's check in with andy levy at the tease desk to see what exciting stories we will be discussing. >> thanks, tom. coming up on the big show. when veal ma takes the gang to a vampire festival they find out a real vampire is disrupting the festivity. he chooseses -- chooses dafney as the bride. then the gang decides to hip him so he can relax. unfortunately they get in a mystery involving ghosts and dinosaurs. and on their way back from a fishing trip they find tms
