Same hyberbole. A live edition of hardball is coming up next. Keep it locked right here on msnbc, the place for politics. Ted picks carly. Lets play hardball. Good evening. Im Chris Matthews in washington. After donalds sweeping victory, the republican primary is moving to its end came. Ted cruz and john kasich should get out of race. Cruz through a political hail mary naming Carly Fiorina to be his running mate. Trump accused Hillary Clinton of duties the night of benghazi attack. Trump accuse clinton of playing the womans card and mocked her
for shouting. Well get to it all. We get to the question of todays was the sound we heard from the republican establishment. An msnbc political analyst, tell me this. Is that the sound of death we heard last night . Thats the sound of death. Hes almost certain to get over the delegate threshold. If he doesnt, he will get close enough that they can not deny him. Looking at that fiorina press conference, i thought you have because i thought you often say this, doesnt anybody know how to do this anymore. Doesnt anybody know how to play this game. First we had cruzkasich. That failed. That marriage was only a threeday marriage. Be back with it. We got to watch trump destroy
cruz. Okay. We had 11 debates and won every single one of them according to drudge and times and all of these great places. Won every single won. I was with my wife and im watching his stuff. I cant watch him for long periods. We will this. The flourish. I have such a headache. I said its terrible that he can say everything i said, exactly the opposite. She said nobody believes it. They dont believe it. He said im not going to build wall. Folk, were going to build the wall. Believe me. Believe me. [ cheers and applause ] were going to build that wall and you know whos going to pay for that wall. They called me over after a debate some of the politicians a few weeks ago when we had some left. Now were down to two stragglers. They called me over and said thaul never be able to build wall. A 13,000 mile. 2,000 years ago. They owe us. If you look at the trade
imbalance take a look at it. Not only with china where its 500 billion a year. Were going to end that very quickly. Mexico, with mexico were talking about 58 billion a year. On trade. On trade. 58 billion. They do better. They have the good side. You know what that means. That doesnt include all the drugs that are being sent across the boarder and poisoning our youth. I have respect for mexico and the mexican leaders. I love the mexican people. Im leading in certain polls. I was leading in polls with hispanics. Im going to bring jobs back. Were bringing jobs back to our country. Were going to do numbers. There are consequences when you leave. Well talk about it. Say what you want, indiana, ive been talking about carrier now for four months. With all the things going on and everything were seeing and all the people we have seen, theres nobody that will be able to do what were going to do together as a movement. We have a movement going on. Nobody has seen anything like it. We have tremendous people supporting us. You know Jeff Sessions. When cruz gets up, he dunce anymore. The man he most respects is senator Jeff Sessions from alabama. He came out and endorsed donald trump. I dont believe hes endorsed a president ial candidate before. Were back. Let joan finish her thought. Trump is doing is we cut in for his substance he makes something that sounds new. Consult your local app somewhere its available online. He got a great boost from bobby night who is a hero like arnold palmer. Hes also known for throwing chairs and choking players. Its rough house. You have people who are excited about this. You asked me about the Republican Party. I have a tiny bit of sympathy for the Republican Party. They dont deserve it. They dont know what to do with this. These are their voters. This is a majority of their voters. Weve said it. I know ive said. Hes now over 50. Hes at 60. This is who this party wants. Its going to be hard to deny it to him. Ted cruz isnt giving up. He may have given up in his brain but not in his physical actions. He picked Carly Fiorina who came this like tenth. She lost her job and lost statewide in california. Three time loser. He puts her on the ticket. He highlighted her ability to stand up to donald trump, which she did do. Lets watch. Over and over again, carly has shattered glass ceilings. Shes careful, measured, serious. She doesnt get overly excited. She doesnt get rattled by what is getting thrown at her. We all saw that. With saw the debate. Carly confronted donald trump. One of the great principles of bullies, they feed off of fear. They dont know what to do when a strong, powerful women stands up and says im not afraid. Isnt there a bigamy situation here. Didnt he just over the weekend marry kasich. Whats going on here . How many marriages in a week . These are desperate. These are chapels in las vegas busy. He rolled out the kasich thing a few days ago. Saturday night or sunday night. They pledged their troth. The problem was that the next day kasich said, i dont know what youre talking about. I want people to vote for me. No mas. No mas. He spent one night with cruz and that was enough. He sobered up. That was that. That didnt work. Everybody has said if youre going to keep this thing owing at all, which im dubious about, its got to be indiana. Its got to be indiana. The only thing cruz had left was to cash the one bargaining chip that he might have had if by some chance he got to the convention which was to offer the veep to somebody in cleveland but he played that card now, which is idiotic. I hope you know,0 how to defd your party because this is ridiculous. This is picking Vice President s on the fly and to get you through the night. Or at least indianapolis. He just married kasich and now hes going to her. If i were her, winning now and inn u. N indiana, she aint going anywhere near him. What happened is that trump had a huge night on tuesday. Five for five. Every county. If you look at that podium, there was no cruzfiorina placard. I think they had to up their time frame. Indiana polls are changing so fast that the cruz team said if were gieoing to do this thing later, lets do it sooner. Heres the thing. Indiana, is an open primary in the sense. Donald trump threw people like bobby knight the same louis thing. Cruz will be well organized but probably wont be enough. It is going to be match up. Its not going to a marriage
made in heaven but it will happen. Last night trump accused Hillary Clinton of playing the womans card. Lets watch. I think the only card she has is the womans card. Shes not nothing else going. If Hillary Clinton were man, i dont think she would get 5 of the vote. The only thing shes got going the womans card. The beautiful thing is women dont like her. Look how well i did with women tonight. What a set of numbers hes come up with. Im in the sure that is true at all. Lets watch this. The other day mr. Trump accused me of playing the quote, woman card. Well, if fighting for Womens Health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card then deal me in. [ cheers and applause ] well, on morning joe today donald trump was asked to respopr respo respond. Lets watch what he said. I havent quite recovered. Its early in the morning from her shouting that message. I know a lot of people will say you cant say that about a woman because a woman doesnt shout. The way she shouted that message was not, i just, thats the way she said it. I guess ill have to get used to a lot of that over the next four or five months. What do you make of that . When i heard him last night and this morning, i thought back to the early days of his campaign when some republicans worried he have a clinton plant. Remember bill clinton had a phone call and told him to run. I think he is going to help Hillary Clinton change the map. This is a polarized country and i admit that. When women hear what trump says not just about her but carly fiori fiorina. Youll have republican women for hillary which this country. Shes going to mop the floor with him. This will turn out women like nothing before. Well keep track of what you predict. I still think youre right. You think trump will go down the toilet if hillary is up against him in. No, absolutely not. Whos got the odds . Shes got the odds. Its no question. Shes historic candidate. Trump is so unconventional. The idea that these general election polls mean anything now, is garbage. I think trump has the chance to get there. What states does he pick up . Give me some states. Look what he just saw. New york. Howard, will you break this up. What about pennsylvania. I think thats unlikely. Ill say there, the one big thing that hillary needs to worry about here is that donald trump is a professional political wrecking ball whos
out to topple every establishment in the country, politically. Thats how hes succeeded so far. How does he topple women majority vote . Its his whole message. Hes going to try to portray hillary and bill and the Clinton Foundation as the Democratic Party and washington, d. C. As the center of everything corrupt and constitutional. Lots of women voters dont like hillary. There are republican women who dont like her but Democratic Women love her. Youre not right about that. I think this will be fairly easy election to vote in. Youll know your side clearly. Those 5 in middle will decide it. Thank you. I was surprised by your answer. Youve come around. I havent come around. You guys are accepting him. I like democracy. Will you tell that to reince
priebus . I will. Hes not familiar with that form of democracy. Donald trumps move to the general election to Foreign Policy but does he pass the commander in chief test . Well have two people right now. Terms of surrender. Hillary clinton all but certain to clench the nomination, what does Bernie Sanders gain by fighting on . What will it take for him to bow out and give clinton some breathing room . The hardball souround table is e for his latest stunt. Stunt. Does cruz realize the more he struggle, the faster he sinks . Let me finish with this dishonorable game of picking Vice President s to light up the scoreboard for a few minutes. This is hardball, the place for politics. This just got interesting.

America first will be the major and overriding theme of my administration. Welcome back. Calling for an America First appropriate to international engagement. Donald trump out lined his Foreign Policy vision in major speech in washington. He said this country had been rudderless under president obama. Trump did not offer any new specifics about how he would defeat isis but said his strategy is to be more unpredictable. Then theres isis. I have a simple message for them. Their days are numbered. I wont tell them where, and i wont tell them how. We must, as a nation, be more unpredictab unpredictable, we are totally predictab predictable. Were sending troops. We tell them. Trump took aim at his general election opponent clinton, accusing of her being awol during the 2012 attacks of bengha benghazi. After her failed intervention in libya, islamic terrorists took down our consulate and killed our ambassador and three brave americans. Instead of taking charge that night, Hillary Clinton decided to go home and sleep. Incredible. By the way she was not awake to take that call at 3 00 in the morning. When making that personal charge of character, trump
dismissed statements made by secretary clinton about her location on the night of those attacks. John allen reported after 1 00 a. M. This washington hillary left the state department for her home where she stayed up to work until 4 00 a. M. She said she remained in communication from her home and did not sleep at all on the nights of the attack. Here she is. I had secure phones. I had other equipment that kept me in touch with the state department at all times. I did not sleep all night. I was very much focused on what we were doing. She went home to sleep and didnt try to save the life of her friend Chris Stephen and went onto say she didnt answer the phone call. We know the facts of that night
that our ambassador was confirmed dead by 2 30 a. M. D. C. Time and she went to bed at 4 00. What do you make of it . One of these two people is lying. My assignment is understood. It was to talk about the overall speech and he said that in his speech. He made that charge. He did. I would say what did you make of that charge when you heard him say Hillary Clinton was asleep and going to bed rather than save her ambassador. What the you make of charge . I really wasnt thinking so much about some of the political comments that were made but what i did think about was the wide ranging nature of the speech. To be honest after the kind of campaign weve had over the last few months that have been painful to watch, i was pleased with what i heard. I thought it was a great step many the right direction. I thought it laid out a vision for america. Obviously, some details need to be filled in. I thought it was very, very good and was pleased at what he had to say. What did you make of his promise he would be un unpredictable. He said im not going to take use of Nuclear Weapons off the table in middle east or in europe. Now hes saying i want to be unpredictab unpredictable. What does it say to you when he says unpredictable in terms of weaponary or whatever. You have a candidate that is dri drinking out of a fire house. Were seeing that evolution. I will say this week. I saw headline in one of the major publications that you and i both read. The headlines were foreign leaders were afraid of donald trump. Many of the people around the world that are our friends are scared of what you might do. They call george schultz. They said to ask him whats going on. I understand thats what you do on this program. The fact is, if you look at the broadness and the vision i thought it was a major step forward. Thank you. There he is saying Hillary Clinton went to sleep when her friend and ambassador was getting killed and didnt bother to answer the phone. Throwing these things out that arent established by fact or system by either party. We sort of live in a posttruth world if republicans can understand call him out on a bald face lie. What he anticipates is that by telling it enough is that people will stop paying attention. I love bob corker but hes got to call donald trump out when hes saying that Hillary Clinton was sleeping when she was trying to lead our way through this crisis. This is whats so dangerous. What did you make of that . He said he likes the idea that trump will keep them guessing. This idea that foreign leaders are scared. Theyre not scared that the United States is going to beat them in some global competition. They are scared that donald trump will ruin the world around them. Thats a different kind of scared. I would think the comment he made to me, he said i wont takeNuclear Weapons off the table even in the middle east. I cant conceive where we will use a Nuclear Weapon in europe to kill isis people. Who do you attack a band of people as sleeper cells all over europe. Thats why foreign leaders are scared because of this casual approach the Nuclear Weapons. These arent tactical approaches to the problems. This speech is wild in how stunning the contradictions are within it. He does have this section where he says we need to be more unpredictab unpredictable. He talks about the Obama Administration being a lack of consistency. They have to be more consistent in the world. Its maiamazing in a 20minute speech he managed to contradict himself. Somebody said to me today, how do you keep people in syria where they were born and can
belong to keep them from racing to europe and here. We have to make some effort. Thats one alternative, bring them here. He doesnt know whether he wants to engage with china which is what he talks about or whether he wants to start a trade war. He doesnt know if he wants to work with muslims or keep them out of the country. Its a speech for 20 different people wrote a photograph or two and threw it all together. Do you think were weak now . Do you think that president obama is weak . I dont think were weak. I think were weak in minds of people who view American Power as the extension of our military prowess. Theres nothing about the paris Climate Change agreement that suggests america is weak. Were expressing our power through diplomacy. Thats a different kind of strength maybe a little hallowed to neo conservatives. He does talk about being bullied. Once you push a co
