Transcripts For MSNBCW The Rachel Maddow Show 20150617

Today, we changed the stories that we were going to cover and the order of everything. We changed the show like 300 times did you say today because new things kept happening all afternoon and into the evening, each of which was more amazing than the things that had come before on this amazing news day. Up to and including jeb bush slow jamming the news with jimmy fallon on the tonight show tonight which has just happened. We actually just got the tape of it. We will have that for you in just a moment. Its mind bending. In addition to that, weve got donald trump announcing he is running for the republican nomination for the president of the United States today. You heard about that, got lots of press today. But did you hear that since donald trump announced, he announced his running mate, who hes running with. And he says he and this running mate, unbeatable combination. They will definitely win. Since he made that announcement today, we have been trying all afternoon and all evening to reach that person, to reach Donald Trumps wouldbe running mate to find out if shes into the the idea. Yes, she. Today is just nuts. Its one of those days that is just nuts. Too much stuff is going on and it is all interesting. Even the stuff thats going on about scott walker is interesting. And scott walker is a politician about whom it is sometimes hard to get viscerally excited. Its nothing against him. He just has this very laid back midwestern manner. Apparently part of him getting ready to run for president was that he started doing classes with a speech coach. Hes trying to be more exciting. Excitement tends to be one of scott walkers challenges. But today, oh, yeah, one of the quirkier things to know about scott walker is that he says that some of the major events in his life have been pegged to milestones in the life of Ronald Reagan. I often joke that i know Ronald Reagans birthday because its my wedding anniversary. But truth be told, she would tell you i know my wedding anniversary because its Ronald Reagans birthday. She would fill you in on that but its the truth. Scott walker and his wife got married on Ronald Reagans birthday. He has the old told reporters that on Ronald Reagans birthday, which is his wedding anniversary with his wife, he told reporter he and his wife go out of their way that day to eat Ronald Reagans favorite foods. Happy anniversary, here is a jelly bean. Not long ago, scott walker spoke at the Ronald Reagan library and it sent a shiver down his spine when he realized not just his wedding anniversary, but another super important day on his life happened on another Ronald Reagan famous day. Already as i anticipated, its going to give me action bit of a sugar, but not only did we share the wedding anniversary with our 20th and his 102nd anniversary of his birth, but as we approach the recall election last year, it dawned on me it hasnt dawned on me right away as they said it. But it dawned on me that june 5th just happened to be the date that president reagan was born into eternal life back in 2004. Scott walker thinks the dkt of Ronald Reagan happened. Now with jeb bush getting in the race for president and scott walker and Chris Christie remaining the two obvious candidates who are running for president and have not yet admitted formally they are running for president , today, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published this report saying there are three insiders close to scott walker who are leaking to the journal sentinel that scott walker has finally picked the date to announce formally that he is running for president. He had his wedding on the anniversary of Ronald Reagans birth. He is he had his life changing gubernatorial recall election on the anniversary of Ronald Reagans death. And we now know that scott walker will formally announce that he is running for president on jump 13th, this will be the 30th anniversary of the exact day that Ronald Reagan had a benign noncancerous pollip intestine. I know, right . I know. So in terms of who else is going to get in im sorry, jackie. I think i hurt jackie. We dont have a date for Chris Christie. Bobby jindal is getting in next wednesday. We spoke with jim gilmores campaign in waiting today. Jim gilmore, former republican of virginia, very nice guy. His folks told us today that he is still considering a run for the presidency. They sent us this press release showing jim gilmore is making his seventh visit to New Hampshire. Seventh. They can pretty much see the writing on the wall, that theres no chance governor gilmore is going to make it into the top ten candidates and theres no chance hell be allowed into the first telecast nationally hosted debate hosted by fox news. Also bobby jindal has that issue. Hes not going to make the cut to make it into the first debate either. But even with that, even with Rick Santorum maybe not making it in, Rick Santorum, carly fiorina, definitely not making it in. John kasich, probably not going to make it. With all of those people not going to make it into the debate, more likely not going to make it into the debate, it does seem pretty clear that this man will make it into the debate. Donald trump had made noise about running for president in 2000, but he didnt run. He made a lot of noise about running for president in 2012, but he didnt run. Today, though, at the trump tower, he announced that he is actually going to run. I will tell you, i love my life. I have a wonderful family. Theyre saying, dad, youre going to do something thats going to be so tough. All of my life ive heard that a truly successful person, a really, really successful person and even modestly successful cant run for public office. Just cant happen. Yet thats the mindset that you need the make this country great again. So, ladies and gentlemen, i am officially running for president of the United States and we are going to make our country great again. Real estate developer donald trump speak today in new york city. Interestingly, though, when he was going to run for president in 2000 on the reform party ticket, people took that potential candidacy then at least as seriously as theyre taking this candidacy now and around that lead, after that president ial election in 2000, mr. Trump was asked in an interview on the today show back in the fall of 1999, he was asked on the today show whether or not he had a running mate. Running mate. If you decide to go with this, who would be the ideal running mate for donald . Oh, i think oprah would be great. Seriously. I think that probably that would be serious, actually. There are numerous people that would be good running mates. I think you would have five or six people that would be great running mates and i think i could convince them to run. If i decide to do there, i will have a great running mate. When he was going to run for president in 2000, donald trump said the first thing that popped into his head. He wanted Oprah Winfrey to be his running mate. Oprah winfrey at the time said no, she was not interested. Today, now that donald trump is not just flirting with the run but actually running, he apparently still likes the idea of a donald trump Oprah Winfrey ticket. He says they would win easily, actually. Thats a quote. Thats how he puts it. We would win easily, actually. I like oprah. Is that supposed to be a bad thing . No. No, i like oprah. Who are the kind of oprah would be great. I think we would win easily, actually. So we have put in a call to Oprah Winfreys company today to see if they would give us a statement to find out if over the course of these past 16 years, whether or not he has warmed to the idea of being Donald Trumps president ial running mate. Whether she would like to be Vice President to donald trump. So far, we have not heard back from myself winfrey. Im going to be sitting by the phones in the hopes that she is going to call. What if she did call and she said yes. Oprah winfrey, please call. That is awesome. Today has been an amazing day in the news. There were a few bumps today for mr. Trump to watch. They did apparently have to put barkers out on the street in manhattan outside trump tower to lure in passers by in order to fill the room by mr. Trump when he was announcing. Also, mr. Trump chose to play neal youngs song rocking in the free world for his event. Since that is basically a song about the republicans screwing the poor, you can imagine neal young was not all that excited about it becoming the donald trump for president anthem. After that happened at this event today, neal young released a statement saying, quote, Donald Trumps use of rocking in the free world was not authorized. And theres no other thing that im editing out. The first sentence is Donald Trumps use of rockin in the free world was not authorized. And the second is mr. Young is a long time supporter of Bernie Sanders. So endorsement for Bernie Sanders and you cant use my song. Also, the number crunchers at 538. Com took a look at not just the current crop of people running for president in 2016. They actually looked at all major president candidates dating back to 1980. It turns out there are roughly 106 people who have run for president dating back to 198 on, at least people who are major enough candidates that theres publicly available data on their approval and disapproval ratings. In that universe of data, out of all the more than 100 people who have run for president in this modern era, donald trump beats them all. Donald trump has the highest disapproval rating of anybody on that list by quite some distance. And there have been some really unpopular people who have run for president. No offense to my uncle pat, but pat buchanan was really unpopular when he ran in 2000. 43 of people had an unfavorable view of pat buchanan when he ran for reelection. Donald trump is worse than that by 14 points. 57 of republicans have an unfavorable view of donald trump and he is running for the republican nomination for president. Thats a challenge. It should be noted that mr. Trump has not filed his official paperwork to run with the s. E. C. You can check who has filed easily on the fec website. Its fun. Theres a gazillion people running. Now that he lass said hes running out loud, though, and he has 120 days before legally he has to file the paperwork. A lot of people believe even though he made this announcement that hes running and he has staff in iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina and it looks more like hes running like he has in the past, a lot of people believe he will never file the paperwork and mount a official run in part because conceivably, thats the sort of thing that would affect whether hes able to continue to do his reality tv slow appearances. If he rides out the full 120 days from his announcement, though, lets say he goes 119 1 2 days, which is the window he has before he has to file the paperwork and he gets out at the end of that time so he doesnt have to file, within that window, hes still on track to take part in these first republican nationally televised president ial debates. And to be in the second nationally televised president ial debate and depending on when they schedule it, he will be in the third debate. Nobody thinks that is going to put he or Oprah Winfrey into the white house. Even during his announcement today, he was throwing absolute flaming trash at the other republicans in the race. Particularly a bunch of the mainstream substantive candidates who might have a real shot. He started off throwing mud at rick perry specifically because during rick perrys announcement it was hot and rick perry looked sweaty. That is unlike mr. Trump. Its great to be at trump tower. Its great to be in a wonderful city, new york. And its an honor to have everybody here. This is beyond anybodys expectations. Theres been no crowd like this. And i can tell you some of the candidates, they went in, they didnt know the airconditioner didnt work. They sweated like dogs. They didnt know the room was too big because they didnt have anybody there. How are they going to beat isis . I dont think its going to happen. But planning a nationally televised republican president ial debate which doesnt include people like rick perry, maybe, or Rick Santorum or bobby jindal or any of these actual high level politicians, but it does include this guy. Up there on stage with, say, jeb bush and marco rubio. But all of these politicians that im running against now, theyre trying to i mean, you looked at bush, it took him five days to answer the question on iraq. He couldnt answer the question. He didnt know. I said is he intelligence . Then i looked at rubio. He was unable to answer the question. Is iraq is a good thing or a bad thing . He didnt know. How are these people going to lead us . How are we going to go back and make it great again . We cant. They dont have a clue. They cant lead us. They cant. They cant even answer simple questions. It was terrible. Welcome to the republican primary for president of the United States. This is now, for a long time what its going to be like. The republican has just locked themselves in the debate. While at a minimum, one of their debates or two or three if he file webs this guy is going to be on stage. And the guy who came in second to mitt romney in 2012 and a bunch of republican governors of major states will not be there in part because he is there. Its just amazing. But i promise, we do have a Little Something from former Florida Governor jeb bush. Jeb bush announced yesterday. Today was his First Official full day as a candidate. In terms of his announcement, he did not have a big online response to his announcement. Now, the lack of response to him online may be in part because jeb bush doesnt have an Online Presence of any kind. So its hard to know if thats something you can hold against limb in terms of his campaign or if hes another one trying in terms of the web. But dont, jeb bush will be appearing on the tonight slow. We have got our hands on that clip and thats next. Yesterday former Florida Governor jeb bush announced his candidacy for president. Tonight he took his first step in appearing president ial. It involves a late night talk show and a microphone. Thats right after this. Stay with us. Roundup im a loving husband and a real good dad but weeds just make me rattlesnake mad well roundup has a sharpshootin wand im sendin them weeds to the great beyond roundup yeha [ whip cracks ] no need to pump just point and shoot hit em in the leaves and it kills to the root round fences, trees, even mulched beds cause the only good weed is a weed thats dead roundup yeha [ whip cracks ] [ male announcer ] roundup.

Tonight on the tonight show with jimmy fallon, jeb bush slow jams the news. I swear. Im looking forward to hitting the campaign trail and discussing the issues that are important to all americans. And having spirited debates with my fellow republicans about how to solve them. You dont want to mess with little jebby. Because when it comes to debating, hes a master. Hes a master debater now that were talking about the issues, where do you stand on immigration . Well, jimmy, were a nation of immigrants and i believe everyone should ever the chance to achieve the American Dream. And to translate that for all your Spanish Speaking viewers [ speaking Foreign Language ]. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold the telefono. I know i just got back from miami, but i didnt think i was interviewing governor pit bull. Jeb bush on the tonight show tonight. Thats real, amazing. Today was jeb bushs first full day as an official candidate for president. He was the 11th candidate to declare yesterday when he made his big announcement in miami. Governor bushs first full day as a candidate was somewhat stepped on by the 12th candidate who entered the race, a man who did to is on in new york city with a splash. Sadly, the American Dream is dead. Running for president on the American Dream is dead ticket, former real estate joining us now, casey hunt who attended Donald Trumps president ial announcement earlier today. Thank you. How was it . Colorful. He gave out prepared remarks and then did not give the prepared remarks. And then blew through every prepared word that there was to blow through.
