Transcripts For MSNBCW First Look 20160115 : vimarsana.com

From harry potter to die hard. First look starts right now. Good morning. Im gigi stone wood. It was a bare knuckle brawl for republicans served up southern style. The hits came hard and heavy during last nights South Carolina debate. The candidates taking on each other while also unleashing vicious attacks at president obama and their democratic rivals. Donald trump and senator ted cruzs short friendship appears to be over. Heres just a taste, starting with the texas senators take on new yorkers. There are many, many wonderful working men and women in the state of new york. But everyone understands that the values in new york city are socially liberal, are proabortion, are progay marriage, focus around money and the media. And, you know, the concept of new york values is not that complicated to figure out. I guess i can frame it another way. Not a lot of conservatives come out of manhattan. Im just saying. When the World Trade Center came down i saw something that no place on earth could have handled more beautifully and more humanely than new york and the people in new york fought and fought and fought and we saw more death and even the smell of death. Nobody understood it. And it was with us for months. The smell. The air. And we rebuilt downtown manhattan. And everybody in the world watched and everybody in the world loved new york and loved new yorkers and i have to tell you that was a very insulting statement that ted made. You know back in september my friend donald said he had had his lawyers look at this every which way. And there was no issue there. There was nothing to this birther issue. The constitution hasnt changed but the poll numbers have. Listen, ive spent my entire life defending the constitution before the u. S. Supreme court and ill tell you, im not going to be taking legal advice from donald trump. Ted cruz you used to say you supported doubling the number of green cards. Now you say that youre against it. You used to support legalizing people that were here illegally. Now you say youre against it. I saw you on the senate floor flip your vote on Crop Insurance because they told you it would help you in iowa. That is not consistent conservatism, that is political calculation. That is the question on entitlements. You had your chance, mark, you blew it. We dont have to have refugees come to our country. But all muslims, seriously . What kind of signal does that send to the rest of the world that the United States is a serious player in creating peace and security. The guns dont pull the trigger. Its the people that pull the trigger and we have to find out what is going on. Thats a case were going to win every state. Bernie sanders is the nominee, thats not even an issue. And i know bernie and i can promise you hes not going to be president of the United States. Ill tell you what, donald, you very kindly just a moment ago offered me the have slot. Ill tell you what. If this all works out im happy to consider naming you as have. I like that. I like it. Id consider it. But i think ill go back to building buildings if it doesnt work out. Im very happy to get a question this early on. I was going to ask you to wake me up when the time came. Just a warm and fuzzy love fest. So who won . The response on facebook seems in line with the polls. Trump was the most discussed candidate on the social media site followed by cruz, marco rubio, ben carson and chris christie. Now while most candidates are focusing on iowa, it was New Hampshire voters who were most engaged in the debate on facebook. Bernie sanders home state of vermont was second most followed by South Carolina, virginia, and new jersey. Iran was the most discussed issue followed by immigration, isis, the economy, and guns. And check out this head line in the new york daily news, which i would say speaks volumes about their opinion of the texas senator. Drop dead, ted. And go back to canada with a pretty unique statue of liberty salute. You dont want to make new yorkers mad. This just in. Bloomberg reporting a houston attorney has filed suit in texas, saying senator ted cruz should be disqualified from the president ial race because of his birth status. Now the suit also asks the Supreme Court to define and clarify the term naturalborn citizen. A Cruz Campaign spokesman has responded saying, quote, i dont think there will be any standing for the lawsuit. On the democratic side, president ial frontrunner Hillary Clinton was on the tonight show last night where she joked around with jimmy fallon about her routines for watching the republican debate. Last time you were here was the second republican debate. And tonight is the ninth. And youre here again. Is that a coincidence, you think . I think youre dodging watches these debates. Youll do anything to not watch the republican debates. Yeah. I think you nailed that. Yeah. Do you watch with bill . Does bill watch, as well . Sometimes, yeah. He does have a running commentary. He does . We both do. Can you believe what he just said . Yeah, yeah, yeah. What does that mean . I have no idea. You should have a drinking game, every time they say your name you do a shot. Well, its fun. I dont think id make it past the first half hour. And they dont say her name with a smile. On sunday, its the democrats turn to square off in charleston, South Carolina.

From president obamas final state of the union to last nights gop debate, its really been quite a week in politics. Heres a quick recap. Tonight marks the eighth year that ive come here to report on the state of the union. And for this final one im going to try to make it a little shorter. We cant be the stupid country anymore. Were laughed at all over the world. I have a beautiful head of hair. I know. I noticed that, yeah. Things are looking up for jeb bush. Oh, no wait they arent. Things are looking down for jeb bush. Well im very happy to get a question this early on. I was going to ask you to wake me up when the time came. I know some of you are anxious to get back to iowa. Continually returned to the theme of hope being you noticed that he did stuff. New polls found that Bernie Sanders is ahead of Hillary Clinton among democrats in both iowa and New Hampshire. I dont want to say hillary is upset but this morning she was spotted shouting into a volcano, you said we had a deal. Listen, ive spent my entire life defending the constitution before the u. S. Supreme court, and ill tell you, im not going to be taking legal advice from donald trump. You dont have to. Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap. Were snapping. Every person here is better than Hillary Clinton. Was mention he said everybody. I thought he said everybody. And thats why i stand here as confident as i have ever been that the state of our union is strong. Seems to be some discord. Political analyst, bestselling author Ellis Henican is here. Good morning. Good morning. The state of our union is lucky to be here, right . After all of that. I know. A lot of differing opinions out there. Last nights debate, i dont think i have ever seen, in my lifetime, political rhetoric so vicious. Rich, rich. I would say, first of all, the bromance between donald and ted is over. You think . Just say that right now. For months they were so nice to each other. The gloves were all very gently handled. Very polite. These guys hate each other i would say by now. At least theyre expressing it for the first time. But is the vitriol ever going to have a back lash from the voters . Well, you know, you got to look at it in two ways. It does seem to appeal to the core Republican Voters who want these folks to be tough and vicious and particularly to be antihillary, antiobama, and antiwashington. Will it draw in people in the middle, independent voters they need to win in november . I dont know. Thats going to be pretty tough. It really is the question. And now theres a real lawsuit about this birther argument. Does this have legs . Well, you know, probably not. But the fact that theres a little bit of doubt there, gigi, is exactly what donald trump is trying to do to ted cruz. Hes not really making the case so strong. But he is saying well, you know, you dont really know. Just casting that little doubt in there. And over at in iowa, democratic side, i mean, its getting closer and closer between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. How is he gaining so much traction . Well, you know, in the same way that there is Republican Energy kind of on the far right, on the far left the progressives, you know, really are more liberal than Hillary Clinton is. And so bernie has done a good job of stirring that up, of getting peoples passions, encouraging them on issues that they really care about, income inequality, particularly. And you know what . It seems to be working among core Republican Voters. Give bernie credit for that. Clinton herself doesnt seem to be sweating it, though. Unlike some people in her camp. Yeah. She may be sweating it a little bit. I mean, you know shes playing it well . Shes gotten a little rougher and i think its getting a little more personal between the two of those. Listen, iowa is february 1. The voting begins. All of these people are right at crunch time. We talked about the mean rhetoric thats flying around the gloves being off, no more niceties. How much further is this going to go . How much further can it go . What are you doing between now and november . Let me put it like that. This is we get a lot of this. Come on, youve got to admit from our chair, from the medias side, from the peoples side, its been kind of entertaining. Entertaining and frightening at the same time. You care about your country. I guess thats the other question. Yes, if you are a passionate voter then entertaining is only so will only take you so far. Thats right. But in the midst of all of it you do have to say we are finally getting to some issues, hashing out some stuff that actually matters. It does matter what happens with the tax system and what goes on with immigration. A lot more fun to come, i promise you. Watching the democratic debate on sunday on nbc. You know, when is that on again . I forget. They put them on at these times you can never remember. Martin omalley, watch him. The republicans frankly are more fun. Ellis henican, thank you so much.
