their hands on the newly released ipad, popular device from apple. bill jordan buys one for a friend at the cherry creek mall in denver, colorado. just as he walks out of the mall, he feels someone tugging on his shopping bag. >> i felt this huge pull on my arm and then another yank. you know, it's just -- and another yank. >> it's such a vicious yank that not only is the ipad gone, but so, too, is the skin on the 59-year-old's finger. >> he just kept pulling and pulling and, like i said, something had to give and it wound up being a pinky on my left hand. >> the crime is caught on the shopping center's security cameras. jordan's finger is so damaged, it needs to be partially amputated. >> i think it's about down to here. >> after looking at the video, denver police spokesman sonny jackson can spot the thief and another man following jordan. >> you can tell they're walking above and they see the individual. but it does concern us. you purchase an item, someone is targeting you as you buy it. >> the next morning, 20-year-old brandon darnell smith is arrested and charged with robbery and

pay for the wall. that is our campaign reality check. joining us jordan weissmann, senior business and economics correspondent for slate. so jordan, he's basically saying that people who go to western union, for example, and send money to mexico, presumably illegal workers here, undocumented workers who are sending that money back to their families in mexico, he will somehow get control of that, prevent them from sending that. the government of mexico will panic because of course it lives on this money. and immediately agree with president trump that they will pay for the wall. that's the plan. >> yeah. donald trump has given us his three-day plan to build the wall and to get mexico to pay for it. and you know, it's not the greatest plan. basically, what he says he's going to do is he's going to rewrite a piece of the patriot act. there's a section called section 326. it's what's known as the know your customer rules. and it says that when banks get a new customer they have to collect information so they know these people laundering money. >> a reasonable amount of information. >>

to political analyst, elise jordan, former aide to senator rand paul. i want to read something brand-new. it's just in the "new york times" right now. you basically have newt gingrich saying, look, none of the mistakes by trump have been forced. nobody forced him to react negatively. it's almost as though he is so full of himself he can't slow down and recognize that being president is a team sport that requires a stable personality. that allows other people to help him. i think newt gingrich, who has been positive about trump, says he has a real possibility of having surged amazingly to miss the golden ring. >> i think newt is right. i think that really this week did a lot of lasting damage to trump. and the zombie theory they're talking about in this article, i think there is some truth to that. even if trump gets the nomination, there is no way he can be successful in the general election. >> you think that's established. >> i think that's established. i just think there is no way that your unfavorables can be so high with literally three quarters of american women not going to vo

secretary john kerry to hiroshima this morning. also an epic masters meltdown for jordan spieth at augusta. and a hole in one like you have never seen. "first look" starts right now. >>> good monday morning, everybody. thanks for joining us today, i'm betty nguyen. in a case ripped from the pages of a novel, an active duty u.s. navy commander has been charged with spying for a foreign nation. according to multiple news sources, including "the washington post," lieutenant commander edward c. lin faces several counts of espionage and other charges including prostitution and adultery. there are reports that he passed secret information to china. although nbc news has not independently confirmed those reports. the navy has withheld his identity but "the washington post" reports a u.s. official disclosing it under condition of anonymity citing the sensitivity of the case. according to his heavily redacted charge sheet released by the navy, lin is accused of stealing secret information, quote, with intent or reason to believe it would be used to the advantage of a foreign nation. he reportedly h

>> jordan weissmann gets tonight's last word. jordan, thank you very much for studying this and helping us out with it. appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >>> broadway or bust. let's play "hardball." good evening. i'm chris matthews in washington. hillary clinton versus bernie sanders, we're eight days away from new york's big primary. a slew of big polls out today show hillary clinton with a double-digit lead out there. giving clinton a 14-point lead up there in new york. a new fox news poll has clinton over sanders by 16 points. look at those numbers. anyway, last week senator sanders backed away from his attack on clinton's qualifications for the presidency. but over the weekend he went after her judgment. let's watch that. >> if you look at where she is getting her money from wall street special interests, she voted for the war, she cited henry kissinger in a sense as a model for her, i think those issues will tell the american people that in many respects she may have the experience to be president of the united states, no one can argue that, but in terms of a judgm

jordan the star of that '96 bulls team released a statement congratulating the warriors on their record-breaking season adding he looks forward to seeing them in the playoffs and president obama stayed up to watch the end of the game, tweeting if anyone had to break his home team's record, he is glad it was the warriors. that was pretty gracious of him. pretty awesome. >> the kobe thing is amazing. he had a horrible year, his body wasn't cooperating, scoring 60. going out like a legend. >> yeah. >> we have legendary beautiful weather moving across the country. not so much this morning down in areas around new orleans though. this is where we had some heavy rain coming off the gulf. that will track over the city. i-10, the rain is starting to encroach on you. from panama city, back to tallahassee, jacksonville, florida, to gainesville, on and off rain today. definitely not beach weather. here's the great stuff. 77 in denver. 74 in minneapolis. that's almost like -- we're starting to hint on like early summer-like conditions. that warmth is going to spread across the country. chicago is n

general election. >> let's bring in elise jordan, msnbc political analyst and former senior policy advisor to senator rand paul. good saturday morning to you, my friend. let's talk about cruz. you think he thinks he can gain ground on trump by naming carly fooer fiorina as vp? i know you just wrote about this in "time" magazine. >> on the one hand it was a brilliant move by cruz. it's an attempt to go trump, into getting off message and returning to his damaging rhetoric about women. trump has been on hiatus from this for about two weeks or so. the hillary comment aside, he hasn't been digging in as deep as he was back in the stretch where he made the comments about punishing women for abortion. his campaign manager was under fire for assaulting a female reporter. just so many instances of damaging comments and attacks against women. i think, yes, it is a good move on cruz's part. >> do you think fiorina was really meant to target trump or target hillary clinton or both? >> i think both. i think she's effective -- at this stage in the game cruz needs to at tam -- trump is his first

rand paul, elise jordan. rory, looking at the results last night and the delegate count, tell me why this gop race is not already over? >> listen, i'm not going to spin last night as a good night for people who are looking to stop donald trump but i'm going to spin it as a night that we expected. we have been banking on him sweeping delegates in these northeast states for some time. we have publicly been saying that that's baked into our calculation on him being able to have this narrow path to 1,237. the real race now moves out west in the states where donald trump is clearly more vulnerable and i do hope he focuses his attention on the general while ted cruz is retail politicking in indiana because that's going to make it much more difficult for trump and much more favorable for ted cruz to get those delegates and change the narrative. a lot of folks in the media wanted to declare this race over, it's far from it. indiana is where the spotlight is right now and the ted cruz campaign has to put their foot on the gas pedal. >> rory, but you do -- and you say very clearly, this was a

of the $20 bill. let's bring back casey hunt and elise jordan. trump and advisers promised a more polished and presidential trump. did he sound like that to you today? >> definitely. that's what we've seen over the last two weeks that donald trump has the ability to change and growing as a candidate and listening to the senior advisers he's brought in. it's been remarkable just because it shows discipline that we've never really have seen previously from donald trump. and it's probably -- it should be incredibly intimidating to hillary clinton because disciplined donald trump is a dangerous one to her candidacy. >> and one of the things talked about elise, to amend the gop platform on abortion, how do you think that's going to play? is that feasible? >> i think that he at this point feels pretty comfortable about his position as the front-runner and about locking the down the nomination. he's already pivoting towards the general. he didn't wade into it as much as previously damaging interview with chris matthews where he said women who get abortions should be punished. he didn't s

analyst elise jordan, former senior policy adviser for the rand paul campaign. john kasich said yesterday the delegate process is bizarre, but i guess the delegate process being bizarre is what exactly he's looking for when he hasn't been able to win much. >> also, if he wants, the only hope he has is a contested convention. that certainly looks like where it's headed right now. i think the rules definitely are complicated, but it's certainly manageable in what a campaign with a strong organization decide is around to do is to know how to handle the process. so kasich certainly seems to have a team in place to do that. >> someone who has clearly a very strong organization for this is ted cruz, right? >> yes. >> he's been, what, setting his cites on the west coast. been very successful so far. >> really, what's interesting is new york state is the only place where cruz really just isn't doing well at all. >> kind of mia these days. >> yes, so he's out on the west coast, and it's sdflecting attention from, he really is not having a strong showing here. i think kasich could potentially surpr

political analyst elise jordan with a good day to you, elise. let's talk about the cruz campaign, first of all, which is counting on this wisconsin primary win, up by nine, ten points at this point ahead of donald trump. but former wisconsin representative scott kluge says that cruz's support in wisconsin is more about stopping trump than any particular love for candidate cruz. i want you to listen to what he told me earlier today. >> i think what's going on in wisconsin is the cruz surge is largely in the southeast corner of the state driven by the establishment in the state and driven by talk show hosts in milwaukee. and i don't think this is any great surge of love for ted cruz. i think what this is is wisconsin's leadership trying to slow down donald trump, so there's a brokered convention and so paul ryan can be the nominee. >> what's your reaction to scott kluge? >> well, i think there's some truth to what he's saying about the surge in support for cruz being less about cruz than just the stop trump effort. and that's what i feel like has been the problem all along with the

and do something because he knows that i come back with jordans for him. but he came to a point where he was like, mom, i don't want that no more. i don't want jordans -- >> okay, by him saying that to you, don't you think he realizes what you're doing? >> yeah. i know he does. >> and wants you to stop? so he's saying to you, don't bring -- >> yeah. so that's what -- >> so how does that make you feel, miss mcbride? >> it makes me feel like [ bleep ] because i -- i guess i just do those things to cover up what i'm doing because some of the time some of the things i do, i want to get high too. i mean, okay, i used to use the excuse i was young, but it's kind of like old now because i'm not that young anymore, and, you know -- and i don't know. i don't want to talk about it anymore because i'm getting mad because i -- >> the class strives to help mcbride become a more responsible parent. an objective made even more important by the fact that the father of her 5-year-old daughter is also incarcerated at santa rita. but there's still some question as to who exactly the father is. jacob cow

analyst elise jordan and dnc chair and msnbc contributor. i think howard if he is getting involved. how much of a problem could this be for clinton going forward? >> this is a partisan issue. by this time you believe hillary, which i do, they were classified after the fact. >> why does that not get out there? >> it does, but it's not as sexy for the media to say that so they don't say it. the right wingers love this. they are beating on them. they were two issues and they were foolish issues and it is proven they were there. it's great for their base and not great for anybody else. >> in all fairness, it's not about the classification. >> you wouldn't know that to listen to the news. >> they set that up and the classification actually is a problem throughout the whole government. the overclassification. i don't think these e-mails jeopardize national security, but the fact that she circomvented the law for her own purposes. >> i don't think she did. i think she did what other people before did. >> they didn't set up their own servers. >> they were private e-mail addressers. this is

dnc chairman howard dean and analyst elise jordan and policy adviser to rand paul. welcome to you both. howard, i will first ask you for your reaction to this dust up. is bernie sanders right? is hillary clinton getting nervous? >> i think everybody should be nervous when they run for president. you can't take anything for granted. hillary is frustrated because they offer debates and they demand a different debate. bernie turned down a debate on the "today" show. that's huge. i don't know what's going on there. it doesn't make sense. on the fossil fuel stuff, they both took money from fossil fuels. nobody took money from a corporation. that is true. they both took money from people associated from fossil fuels. this is a close race where the stakes are huge. there has not been a momentum shift. nothing is a surprise. we knew hillary was going do well and she did in the mid-western states. bernie did well in the states that followed. bernie is doing well there. if bernie doesn't shake it up someplace, he can't win. >> just this morning on time's website, you wrote this is the begin

delegates. we want to bring in msnbc's elise jordan and how this process works, and ultimately which candidate may benefit the most. we're hearing it's unfair, ted cruz says you should have better organization, a better ground game. break it down for us. how does this actually work? what are we missing? >> so the rnc, 56 states and territories, they assign a number of delegates to those 56 states and territories. however, each congressional district gets three delegates. otherwise, these states, the islands, the bbis, guam, samoa, they get to decide the rules about how the delegates are selected. ted cruz has been extremely operative and has been running an insurgent operation to get any delegates that aren't bound to candidates. he's running a far superior campaign to donald trump. he knows the rules and he's playing by them. that's what donald trump is now lashing out against when the irony is that donald trump has won about 37% of the votes, but now has 45% of the delegates. they're only separated by about 211 delegates right now, cruz and trump, and so that's why the competition

now we go to political analyst and former aide to rand paul, elise jordan. good morning to you. >> thanks for having me. >> we lucked out on the in-studio assignment today. we appreciate everyone slugging it out in the snow. let's start, of course, with what's overhanging this week, which is donald trump not only making one sort of extreme and ignorant statement about abortion that managed to unite the pro choice and pro life groups in opposition. but then having to clean up repeatedly and now as kerry sanders mentioning, a lot of sunday shows pretape. so before the interview, a sunday interview tomorrow where an excerpt has him going back and saying leave the law as it is, not the gop position either. >> this is a perfect storm for donald trump. it's nothing new his chauvinism, his borish behavior, his horrible comments against women. but it really all just collided this week with so many incidents happening with corey lewando youski being charged with assault and the ted cruz false mistress allegations that the trump camp was pushing. so many anti women incidents. and you kno

about today. we have with us elise jordan, an msnbc political analyst, former rand paul adviser and bush white house official. kai wright, and ozzy is a senior reported for politico. let's start on the republican side. looking ahead to wisconsin. talking about this. donald trump, maybe he'll pull a rabbit out of the hat. let's say the polls are right and donald trump loses. the question is, is this going to change anything nationally in the republican race or is this just an only in wisconsin win? >> i think his momentum has shifted. i know everyone has made this prediction thousands of times. i think this narrative has set in with women that he is against them and he is anti-women. imagine why women would think that after all of the really disturbing incidents from the trump campaign over the past year, but also the past week especially. assaulting a reporter, and then trump's comments on abortion and women deserving punishment if they get an abortion. i think it's the start of a trend where women are completely writing donald off and there's no way he can be successful in a genera

american troops fighting on the ground. isis must be destroyed and the king of jordan has made this clear with, that the war there is for the soul of islam and it must be won by the muslim nations themselves. what the president is talking about is having american troops training muslim troops, helping to supply the military equipment they need and i do support that effort. we need a broad coalition of muslim troops on the ground. we have had some success in the last year or so putting isis on the defensive. we've got to continue that effort. >> all right. next question comes from monica. >> hello. how do you plan on protecting women's reproductive rights in all states? >> you got it. i do. i'll tell you how. i have a 100% lifetime pro-choice voting record. i believe not only do i vigorously oppose the republican efforts to defund planned parenthood, i think we should expand funding for planned parenthood. and it is no secret that in states all over this country in a dozen different ways there are governors who are trying to make it impossible for a woman to control her own body. i will us

my greatest concern yesterday was why jordan spieth didn't hit it over the pin and knock it into the water twice. that's what my concern was about. >> ohio governor john kasich there talking about the hunt for delegates being all that matters and again, we should note here, kasich, of course, at this point in terms of the delegate race is actually behind marco rubio who dropped out a month ago and spend time in just a bit but start with jacob rascon about 33 miles east offous us in albany. jacob, you heard that sound we played off the top with donald trump calling the system corrupt, saying it's rigged. he did that during a rally in rochester. what's his team's plan to avoid a contested convention? >> reporter: and so now it seems they actually do have a plan with paul manafort, the convention manager. i talked to a trump advisor who told me this morning that the internal numbers they are working with have them getting over 1300 delegates. that's what they're hoping for. and then starting with new york, this is about momentum for them. this is almost always about momentum. they l

that. >> i'm joined boy msnbc political analyst elise jordan and also with me communications strategist erin mcpike. elise, let me start with you. when you hear what jeb bush is saying about, oh, my gosh, it's all lost if trump is the nominee and then you see boehner say that the gop is now coming around to the idea of a trump nomination after the lucifer comment, is a stop trump movement still around? >> well, i think the contrast between jeb bush and john boehner is interesting. jeb bush is speaking out of principle and about the good of the country and what he sees would happen under a trump presidency. and i think that john boehner is following the power and really helped out -- and hurt ted cruz and helped donald trump with that comment. you know, i do think that the stop trump movement is clearly on life support. the only success that they have had has been in drawing attention to donald trump's misogynistic comments. other attacks have really fallen flat, i feel, and i wish there had been more of a focus on his financials. this is tough, though. it started late, it was

former senior advisor to rand paul's campaign, elise jordan and howard fineman. howard, let me start with with you. as we've been covering this deal, this alliance, it seems to be weakening by the moment. does it really have a chance of working or won't we know until after indiana? >> i don't think it has much chance of working and it may not matter in indiana. keep in mind the context, which is today. donald trump is going to clean up big time in the five states along the line in the acela primaries, so-called, and that's the context here. it's going to be a big night and big headlines and big momentum in the morning for donald trump, which is just going to underscore the weakness of that alliance, indiana notwithstanding. >> so, elise, this morning donald trump weighed in on what he says is the deal's ultimate demise and we heard him there in that interview, but of course he also takes to twitter and sent out a tweet saying the cruz/kasi cruz/kasich pact is under great strain. the joke of a deal is falling apart, not being honored and almost dead. very dumb. do you think they gaine

. msnbc political analyst and former senior adviser to rand paul's campaign, elise jordan. donald trump alluded to the fact he could pull out a victory. on one hand, he pounds to polls who shows he's in the lead. on the other, he expressed to chris not the confidence that we're accustomed to seeing from him. what do you see happening there tonight? >> well, i think you summed it up well there, tamron. look, the polling suggests that ted cruz has an advantage. what's significant is that cruz's advantage does not look to be as strong as it was a week ago. that's very interesting because cruz has been all over the state. he's campaigned very, very hard. what i think a lot of people expected was that when governor walker and really a lot of the republican establishment came out for cruz, that trump might step back. it's very fascinating. he has not stepped back. he has done an intensive campaign in wisconsin. and he's gone to a lot of places out state, places like superior and green bay. i'm hearing that turnout in those places are very, very good. so my sense is that we might have a closer

terrible role models. >> joining me now elise jordan and msnbc contribute howard dean former chair of the dnc. let's get right to this. what we just heard there, come on, the koch brothers are synonymous with conservatism. what are you interpreting here. >> charles koch has really been anything but a libertarian as he claims. he could have put a lot of money behind rand paul and he didn't. clearly i have a stake in that game. marco rubio he ended up supporting and rubio's a neo con more big government kind of republican. i just frankly don't know what charles koch really believes anymore. >> do you think the koch brothers want to put their money behind both belief and victory? >> they're spending so much money and it's so many disperate efforts they're funding. they were going to buy pass the rnc and set up their own apparatus to distribute money. it quite frankly hasn't been going that well. >> are the democrats kind of like the koch brothers now? >> no. we do not believe billionaires should influence elections. it's a very bad thing for the supreme court to have decided that some people
