Mark that california clash may come down to a buzzer beater, folks. It may also involve some overtime. There are other races going on, including big news. Paul ryan said that he will vote for donald trump. More about that later. Today in san diego, Hillary Clinton tried to score points of her own with a foreignpolicy speech to kickoff her fiveday homestretch tour. She faces against Bernie Sanders index tuesdays primary. The target of her speech was not Bernie Sanders, but the man she expects to face off against in the fall, donald trump. It was a big speech with a lot of soundbites. Here is the money soundbite. Ms. Clinton i believe the person the republicans have nominated for president cannot do the job. [applause] Donald Trumps ideas are not just different, they are dangerously incoherent. They are not even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies. [laughter] [applause] mark it was one of the biggest, and i would say best speeches clinton has given in the campaign. How did she do . John we are not going to be in the disagreement zone purely on the basis of how you phrased the question. I thought she did a great job. On Foreign Policy, clinton has an advantage not only in terms of her resume and experience, but she just has a greater command of world affairs. In the end, for all of trumps attractiveness to a certain subset of voters, on this question, if clinton can clear the threshold, she will win the election. This was a very good start in making what i assume will be in argument she prosecutes all the way until election day. Mark i was skeptical that a speech on Foreign Policy five days before she has to beat Bernie Sanders was a good idea. It was. It was a sustained attack on trump. She showed that she could do it with humor, and i would say elegance. And despite what trump said about her, pretty good performance skills. What democrats need to rally around her is a sense that she can go into the fall and beat trump. I think she reassured a lot of people today. John humor is key. Trump is funny. Mark you cant beat trump with anger. Mark funny with anger. John correct. I reserved judgment on your earlier assessment that this might be problematic for her, but actually, i think she did herself a huge amount of good. Mark i do too. John democrats have concerns about sanders on Foreign Policy. You look at clinton and think she can take trump on. She was very good on offense today. One of the golden rules of modern politics is if you want to know what trump is thinking about anything, check his twitter feed. Trump fired off this tweet even before Hillary Clinton spoke. Crooked Hillary Clinton is getting ready to totally misrepresent my foreignpolicy positions. He also tweeted bad performance by crooked Hillary Clinton reading poorly from the teleprompter she doesnt even look president ial we will skip over the alysis or misspelling of teleprompter and other matters. Mark, how do you think donald trump did on defense . Mark i suspect he will talk more about it going forward. He is going to engage her in some of the substance of her criticisms. Think this is a case where, on first blush, trumps tweets were no match for her sustained attacks. That does not mean that he is the fight, but in the short term, the contrast was exactly what she wanted. She predicted during her speech that trump would be tweeting angry things, and he did. For the voters she is trying to reach, including women, married women, the contrast of taking someone down in a sustained way versus 140 characters i think works to her benefit. Trump did not do well, and he suffers from not having the army of opposition researchers and surrogates that she does. John trump cannot beat her with anger. In the end, i dont think she can beat him with anger either. Can you clear the commander in chief threshold . In the end that still matters. , i dont care how many other rules have changed in our new political environment. Lying hillary, crooked hillary, has resonance in some areas, but on Foreign Policy, it has no substance. Over the course of these months he is going to have to be able , to engage with her on substance and go toe to toe with her. Mark i would still like to think there will be a debate about who has a vision for the future, not just criticism of each other. She laid out very little today. It is unclear where she wants to take the country on foreignpolicy. I think donald trump has think long and hard, because his last foreignpolicy speech was mostly criticisms of clinton and obama. As i said, paul ryan said today he will vote for donald trump in november. The speaker of the house made his announcement in an op ed published on the gazette, which is published in wisconsin. Ryan said he believes donald support the agenda paul ryan wants to pass through the house. There are some problems still in trump world with unifying republicans. Today the governor of michigan, rick snyder said he will not back trump. Last night the republican , National Committee hispanic outreach director quit last night, suggesting she was uncomfortable working in concert with donald trump. The ryan endorsement was expected, but still very symbolic and substantive deal. Does that mean that the Nevertrump Movement is dead . John if you think of this week as the week in which the dreams of an independent candidate going up against donald trump and Hillary Clinton have boiled down to a relatively obscure National Review staff writer, a guy with a resume but who is not going to be picked, and now paul ryan, as you said, expected, but symbolically, its a huge thing. I think the Never Trump Movement is done. Mark its going to send a signal to donors and a lot of people. There is a clear separation between mitt romney and paul ryan. I think trump has known for a while that he was going to get this backing. He made it pretty clear in south dakota. I still think there is work to be done, particularly with the financial community. But this is obviously a very big day for trump, even though ryan did it in a pretty understated manner. John an understated manner, but he added one thin additional layer of clause layer of gloss to the argument that a lot of people who are uncomfortable with trump has stated. I dont like him, but hes better than Hillary Clinton. Ryan put the extra gloss on of saying Hillary Clinton is never going to support the House Republican agenda. Trump may not supported fully, and we might get something from him, and if you are rationalizing your support, that gives you a little extra bit of rationalizing power. Mark ryan is on board. John donald trump was also on defense today over his school, a. K. A. Trump university. His campaign posted a video last night that showed a handful of students praising the education they received at Trump University. Today on twitter, obviously trump called the judge , investigating his university very biased and unfair. heres good news for anyone with transferable credit. He wrote that he has told executives to reopen Trump University after the civil litigation ends. Normally, candidates would use their campaigns and surrogates to put on a fullcourt press. But Donald Trumps defense was basically donald trump. Do you think that trump, when he does he need a full complement to play effective defense . Mark he didnt to get the republican nomination. If Hillary Clinton becomes president , this week will go down in one of the biggest weeks in the campaign. Many clinton advisers believe between now and the convention is when it will be won or lost. You look at foreignpolicy, the attack on Trump University. It is difficult to fight back the way he is fighting back. The press is very some of the to the argument the Clinton Campaign is making. That Trump University is a scam. The press is sympathetic to that argument. Trump is fighting back and night way that has worked for him before. The salt is only just begun. If they dont do after actor analysis, they are making a big mistake. John you think about a well coordinated attack in politics. You have not just the candidates, you have the surrogates and the staff, you have employees, former employees, voices from within the trump universe saying this is a scheme and fraud. Mark a lot to react to. John if you are donald trump, you have a big megaphone, but that is coming at you from all directions. Mark coming up, we are going to talk to the attorney general of new york about the civil case he brought against Trump University. But up next a playbyplay , breaking down Hillary Clintons speech on Foreign Policy. Right after this. John Hillary Clintons foreignpolicy speech in san diego was hotter than a guitar solo. Here to help us unpack it is msnbc Political Correspondent casey hunt, who is following the Political Campaign on the trail. Out on this fark fark west coast. Far far west coast. First, lets listen to Hillary Clinton. Ms. Clinton this is a man who has said that more countries should have nuclear weapons, including saudi arabia. This is someone who has threatened to abandon our allies in nato. He says Climate Change is a hoax invented by the chinese. He says he has foreignpolicy experience because he ran the Miss Universe pageant in russia. Unlike him, i have foreignpolicy statecraft experience. I wrestled with the chinese and copenhagen. I brokered a ceasefire between israel and hamas, negotiated the reduction of clear weapons with russia, twisted arms to bring the world together in global sanctions against iran, and stood up for the rights of women, religious minorities, and lgbt people around the world. [applause] john casey, it seems Hillary Clinton is doing a couple of things in this speech. One, attacked donald trump. The other, offer an explicit defense of her record in the state department. How well do you think she pulled off both elements of that strategy today . Casey i think that is right. What struck me the most about this speech was that when we saw all of those dozen plus republicans try to attack donald trump throughout the course of the primary, every time they did it, they seemed smaller than donald trump. Attacking him made them seem smaller by comparison. One thing i saw from Hillary Clinton today was to go after him in a way that made her seem bigger than he is. From that perspective, i think it was successful. There was less emphasis on the back half of this piece. What stood out in the room was that what she was talking about, her record, there wasnt necessarily a vigorous defense of some of the pieces that will potentially be problematic, whether libya or the war in iraq. I think there was some of that contrasting, but i think it was the attacks that really stood out. John lets listen to a little bit more. This is secretary clinton talking about being in the room when president obama gave the order to take out osama bin laden. Ms. Clinton i remember being in the situation room with president obama debating the potential bin laden operation. The president s advisers were divided. The intelligence was compelling but far from definitive, and the risks of failure were daunting. The stakes were significant for our battle against al qaeda and our relationship with pakistan. Most of all, the lives of seals andf those brave navy seals helicopter pilots hung in the balance. It was a decision only a president could make, and when he did, it was as crisp and courageous a display of leadership as i have ever seen. Now, imagine donald trump sitting in the situation room, making life or death decisions on behalf of the united states. [boos] imagine him deciding whether to spend your spouses or children into battle. Imagine if he had not just his twitter account at his disposal when he is angry, but america s entire arsenal. Do we want him making those calls, someone thinskinned and quick to anger who lashes out at the smallest criticism . Do we want his finger anywhere near the button . Audience no john we heard the audience, practically rehearsed, helping her along and loved it. Who do you think she was trying to reach with this speech . Kasie a couple groups. One, some of the Never Trump National security elites like david french and bill kristol. Those types, not that they will get on the Hillary Clinton train, but there might be people out there willing to listen to this message, that Hillary Clinton is the experienced, steady foreignpolicy hand. I think security moms, suburban women. Sometimes suburban women have been late to break for hillary. That happened in the senate in 2000. This is one way they think they can win them over earlier. I also think, potentially, there are some republican white men may might be able to win over with this. I think they know that is probably not a group they will do well with, but there are mayba few. This would be the argument they would be susceptible to. Mark she seemed extraordinarily confident today and she referred to donald trump throughout as donald. What do you make of that . Casey i was asking about that, because it is dismissive. She has always said governor romney or senator mccain. Somebody told me that it seems sycophantic to say mr. Trump. That was a deliberate decision they made to put this on an even playing field. It is something we did not see republicans do much of in the primary. John i just have to say to you really quick, barack obama yesterday, Hillary Clinton today, that looked like a formidable 12 punch. Just in terms of going after him. Mark when we come back, we go 500 miles north of san diego to Silicon Valley. Right after this. John in advance of tuesdays california primary, we thought we would do a little catch up on Silicon Valley, not the hbo program, although we are always pulling for pied piper. We mean the real Silicon Valley, which over the last couple of decades has grown into quite a , political force. This year though, something seems a little bit off. The tech hub has not warmed up to any president ial candidate so far. To understand why, we might need a little history lesson. Silicon valley front and center again. Heres what happened. 1939, hewlett and packard start hewlettpackard in a garage. More stuff happens. Things get invented. The internet. The valley explodes. 1990,helps bill clinton. Clinton helps the family helps the valley. He passed nafta, the 1996 telecommunications act. 2000, the valley is split. They like gore. Bush. I will get the best scientific and technological advice from leaders in your field. Silicon valley helps obama. 2008, obama helped Silicon Valley. Top executives from google visited the Obama Administration 128 times. The valley comes to the swamp. Palo altobased facebooks washington and easy. Finals, talk about the not so much about the race. Clinton has always had a hard time. Among your friends in Silicon Valley, how many of them are Trump Supporters . None of them overtly. Except for the skype. Peter thiel is now backing donald trump. Others give up on earth entirely. Spacex ceo elon musk said he wanted to send humans to mars by 2025. Mark its a huge moment, because for the First Time SinceSilicon Valley mattered in politics, they dont have a candidate. John its certainly true. Silicon valley, the politics there there are some libertarian elements. There are some left of center, some right of center. There are not a lot of far left and not a lot of conventional far right. Donald trumps approach to Global Economics is not going to fly with a lot of the business community, particularly with export Oriented Companies and tech leaders. Mark and he picked fights with 3 of the biggest leaders in the valley. John and then you have Hillary Clinton. We talk about the absence of her economic message. They loved bill clinton and the information superhighway. And of course, they love barack obama. But Hillary Clinton is on the wrong side of uber. She is not beloved. They are wondering what to do. Mark she does not have an authentic connection to their products. She is not someone who loves the things they do. She has been able to raise a ton of money without having the fingertip feel. Donald trump hasnt had to raise money. Now they both need Silicon Valley, and they both need the image of Silicon Valley. Even though they are not as politically potent as they were, they are still one of americas leading industries. California, technology, they are the huge part of the future. There is nothing like it in america. John weve said this a few times about clinton and trump. Neither of them is running a forwardlookingfuture campaign right now. The most attractive thing about marco rubios campaign was talking about the an economy of the fu
