kristen welker is at the white house for us. kristen, how serious is this and do you have a rundown of the cars being recalled? >> reporter: we do have a rundown. this is very serious. officials are urging the public to take this very seriously announcing the recall of more than 2 million vehicles that could potentially cause airbags to deploy inadvertently, as you said. here's a look at those vehicles. the new recalls include acura mdx, dodge vipers jeep grand cherokee, honda odyssey, pontiac vibe, toyota corolla, toyota matrix and toyota avalon models made in the early 2000s. there's a defective chip. the national highway traffic safety administration said that some of the vehicles initially fixed, about 40 of them continued to show those inadvertent airbag deployments. now, while these recalls are not related to that issue involving vehicles recalled over the takata corp. airbags, about 1 million of the vehicles were a part of a separate takata recall. the regulators stress that there are no known fatalities related to this i

the white house. they've got the bunl et ready. what are they expecting to get out of this? >> well, steve, first they're calling for the president calling for increasing spending by $74 billion. that's 7%. by reversing and ending the sequester you just talked about. the deep across the board spending cuts that went into effect in 2011, he's going to make the argument that will pay for so-called middle class priorities, like funding child care, community college, paid sick leave. things the middle class, priorities that the middle class really care about. republicans were quick to respond. they say the proposal is dead on arrival. this is the reaction from john boehner. he says republicans believe there are ways. until he gets soors about solving our long-term spending problem, it's hard to take him seriously. this is starting the conversation, but the president feels he has an argument to make because the economy is stronger and all the things i mentioned, steve, pull well. these are things americans

it is no way to win the white house back. jeb is not the guy according to you, joe? >> i'm not saying jeb is not the guy, but it is amazing to me again that republicans have a front runner whose daddy ran the country. i said this before, mike you almost jumped out of your chair when you heard me that mitt romney could have won it, six of the last seven republican nominees have gotten there because of their fathers. you had bush 41 whose father was a u.s. senator, bush 43 whose dad was a president. you of course have arizona's own john mccain whose dad helped run the u.s. navy. you had mitt romney whose dad ran michigan, one of the largest car companies in the world. there is no coincidence this is a republican party that seems stuck in the past, and now here we have a coronation supposedly for jeb bush, and i just think like mitt romney said in his statement, republicans are going to be looking for someone new. >> it is okay for the republicans to look for somebody kn new. nobody doesn't run if he thinks he is going to win -- >> he is ahead in every poll. >> but rudy

the republicans desperately want the white house. if they don't find some way, some fresh new face or some new approach to connect with the middle class, we have no chance of winning the white house. mitt just can't reinvent himself on that level. i think it is that basic, that simple. >> is jeb bush that fresh a face? and mitt is one of the best public speakers in the party. he is a better debater than senator clinton. i think he could have given her a run for her money. a lot of his core has already committed themselves elsewhere. i think scott walker is going to have a better shot at those coke dollars. >> gentlemen, always good to have you with us on "the ed show." >>> coming up, the seahawks they try for a repeat performance this sunday. i got my keys to the game for both teams coming up. and later, i'm sharing my secrets to super snacks for the super bowl party. got your questions next "ask ed live." we're right back. natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is

house. almost immediately other potential candidates issued statements. jeb bush said mitt is a patriot and i join many in hoping that his days of serving our nation and our party are not over and i look forward to working with him to show all americans to rise up. >> marco rubio said he certainly earned the right to run and i give him the chance to lead. >> and so now the question for mitt romney, because he has the resources to do it again, but in a sense the question was whether the party wanted him. do you get the feeling he was going to do it until he got the very clear message that the party didn't want him? >> joy, i think that really is probably the central thing in the last three weeks. and it was just three weeks ago on a friday when mitt romney said i might be interested in running for 2016 and flash forward to today where he says no. what is the big difference between what we heard from three weeks ago and until today and it was negative comments coming from top party leaders and

. >> josh earnest was just talking about this at the white house during the briefing. let's listen. >> the extent governor romney can use his influence to change the fundamentals of this debate that will focus on what we can do to benefit the middle class and those who aren't in the top 1%, where so many of the republican policies seem to be aimed, that would be a really good thing. it certainly would be a way for governor romney although he has indicated he's not going to be a candidate, a way to substantially contribute to this debate. >> steve, with romney stepping aside, remember the 47% video, does that alleviate what he is pointing to when we look at the republican party? >> mitt romney had a specific image problem because of the background and private equity and all of that. jeb bush has a lesser background but does have a private equity background as well and romney was said to be worried that would affect jeb bush too. in terms of the republican party is still the republican party, whether romney or bush is the nominee. the platform is the same. there is a dif

house, where do things stand for the rest of the potential contenders? steve kornacki host of "up joins for for the latest. this has been a wild day in politics. let's game the rest of the field. >> let's take a look here at sort of the money chase in a story that i think has a lot to do with the decision that mitt romney made today and what jeb bush is up to right now. if you think back to december when he said he was interested in running, he said i have decided to actively explore the possibility of running for president of the united states. if that sounds a little legalistic, it's for a reason. it is. this is something unique, an experiment he launched his own super pac, if you are not officially a candidate for office, you can have your own super pac and raise money and control it. it's your own super pac. and politicians love it for one reason, you can raise as much as you want from anyone or any group you want. there's the potential there to raise a ton of money. that is what jeb bush is attempting to do right now. the goal of the bush campaign n

i believe republicans winning back the white house is essential for our country, and i'll do whatever i can to make that happen. to all my supporters friends and family who worked tirelessly and loyally to support my campaign in the past and i will always be equally appreciative. what you've already done is contribute to your patriotism, i am overwhelmed and humbled by your loyalty to us by your generosity of spirit, and by your friendship. god bless you all. and god bless our great country. bye-bye. >> a gracious thank you there from mitt romney to his donors and supporters throughout the years, those that were contemplating staying with him should he decide to run for the presidency. he announced at the top of the call he decided it is best to give other leaders in the party to become the next nominee. made three good points as to why he thought he could win it. then in what may not be a thinly veiled anything other than thinly veiled jab at jeb bush saying the next generation of republican leaders, one who may not be as well known as i am today, one who has not yet taken their mess

joining me now from the white house, nbc's kristin welker. back from the romney speech and "the washington post" national political correspondent philip rucker. he is providing a 2016 update. >> we expect a decision of some kind. expected to say he is moving forward with the campaign which would mean potentially launching committee, getting an organization together, or he could pull back. hearing conflicting things from people close to him this morning. we'll know the answer in about an hour. >> what do you think his big conflict is right now? it seems as though every day that passes more people that supported romney are supporting other possible gop candidates. >> that's an important issue. some donors and a few key staff members defected to other campaigns. romney spent the last three weeks calling around to hundreds of supporters to donors. he apparently feels comfortable he would be able to raise enough money to wage a competitive race. in mississippi wednesday, he sounded like a possible candidate, attacking hillary clinton, he showed he

white house. i don't think that they care passionately on one side or the other about building this pipeline. and i actually tend to agree with the premise that they can use this as a bargaining chip as something to give up and exchange for something else. and i frankly think they would be okay in doing that. i it would anger a lot of environmentalists in the democratic coalition. but president obama doesn't, you know, he can anger anybody he wants at this point, i suppose. >> what you never heard from the president is that this is a bad idea. the president has always said this is my prerogative and the congress is trying to end run what should be the white house executive authority to make a decision about whether this is a good thing or not. he's not siding with the virmallists generally. he's saying you need to let us get to our process first. process argument not a standup argument which i felt they left themselves wiggle room to approve it. >> get through this round, veto it and then modify i

. >> well hillary, there hasn't been a republican white house without a bush since 1977 and we're ready to go back. >> let me shoot straight with you, jeb, okay? bill and i are dead broke, we need a place to stay. 1600 pennsylvania avenue it's calling me home. maybe we can work something out, now he we both agree on so many issues. bigger government common core and amnesty for illegal immigrants. >> we've both got problems you've got problems with the grass roots and i've got all those dam conservatives. let's say we make a deal? sorry, had hill re i have to go. mitt keeps calling. >> all right. so jeb kind of sounds like the grinch where hillary sounds exactly like hillary. they've got a good hillary in that add -- or fake ad. during a meeting with house democrats the president called for new spending on programs he introduced if in his state of the union including child care paid sick leave and free community college. the increases amount to a 7% budget hike and the president said the money can be found by fixing the tax code and closing up special interest loopholes. the political re

. >>> and the white house tweeted this pick of a little president obama playing in the waves. it read no one stays young and invincible forever. make sure you get covered. that is cute. >>> that is your morning dish of "scrambled politics." right now we want to get to the a reporter for the hill. good morning, happy friday to you. >> happy friday, betty. >> speaking of president obama he really took a swipe at mitt romney yesterday saying republicans are sounding more like democrats every day. in fact, with the former presidential candidate on the other side who is suddenly deeply concerned about poverty, does he have a point here? >> well he's a former presidential candidate but he also could be a presidential candidate again and i think that's what's really happening here is you've got mitt romney who is polling very high above the higher potential republican 2016 candidates and he's trying to reinvent himself as someone who is going to take on poverty, you've got to remember back in the 2012 election he struggled with the 47% comment and was perceived as largely wealthy, 1%

that applies anywhere near the white house. it is also against the law to fly an unmanned drone over dc. on tuesday night we talked about the federal employee that drunkingly flew his friend's drone over the fence and on to the grounds of the white house. he has not been charged. secret service appears to believe his explanation, but it is not unreasonable to be worried about what happened there. the white house was evacuated. the supreme court was evacuated. the u.s. capitol was evacuated. a black hawk helicopter and two jets were dispatched to neutralized the perceived threat and they ended up escorting the cessna away from washington, d.c. they made it land at an airport four rotor drone, about four feet across. the drone doesn't appear to have been carrying anything. commercially available drones they can carry things that's the whole this i go about the dumb amazon delivery things that 60 minutes did that fluffy awkward press release for a couple months ago. this was a drone that was covered by authorities on the u.s. mexi

he's just the latest gop white house hopeful to target his shots directly at secretary clinton, quote -- how can she provide opportunity for all if she doesn't know where the jobs come from in the first place? he was referring to what she herself said on the campaign trail last fall. >ñt let anybody tell you that, um, you know, it's corporations and businesses that create jobs. you know, that old theory trickle down economics. that has been tried, that has failed, it has failed rather spectacularly. >> well, romney went after that comment and attacked her former record on foreign affairs, calling the administration tim mid, and cluelessly perezed a reset button for russia, which smiled and then invaded ukraine. the middle east, and much of north africa is also in chaos. ron fournier is senior political columnist, and ann geren is with "the washington post," and amy is a political report with the great "new york times." thank you, we have the heavywaits here tonight. first of all, is this the new macho test like at a carnival, you have to bring the hammer down? you have to hit the pre

now it's time for the white house to really draw a line in the sand on keystone. as i have reported i went down to nebraska this pags weekend and enterprised the story on okay, who is in the middle of this? it's the landowners. the land owners who can't be bought. they told me on tape over the weekend they can't be bought the way the united states said it was bought today. amendment after amendment after amendment. finally they get a yes vote on keystone. it's not worth it. the landowners taking it to the court and so it's not slam dunk yet. it's a sad day for if democrats. it's a sad day for the progressive movement in the country. we can all say trs cocktail hour in the city of brother i love. we got that out of the way. we don't zr to worry about the liberals at keystone. how democrats are in the second way of their retreat. they're planning the agenda for the new congress. good for them. president obama will be speaking to the house democrats later tonight. he's going to talk a lot about the economy and what he's got to have. the president will urge democrats

. >> in just about one hour president obama will depart the white house, bound to the house democrats issues retreat in philadelphia. but as lawmakers huddle with the president to plot a winning strategy on policy many democrats are plotting how to win the white house in 2016. and for presumptive presidential hopeful hillary clinton, that means apparently taking her sweet time to launch a campaign. politico reports that clinton is considering delaying the formal launch of the perspective bid until july. three months later than originally planned. the thinking goes there is more risk than reward in getting into the glare of the spotlight too early. which may be why clinton has reduced her public squej of lathe. with just four skjed public appearances tweens mid-december and march. if clinton is shying away from the limelight? not so so for mitt romney. romney alleged she pressed a reset button for russia. romney further mocked clinton's speech saying i'm not thinking about the peekspeaking fees i will earn. if you've not already heard. i'm rich. yeah, yef heard. romney has company. amo

house. it's certainly and important priority for republican but there are democrats who came along too. is it a new normal? we'll have to see how it shakes out. but there are certainly senators who are enjoying the chance to put amendments on the floor, to talk about these issues and to try to work together. what it will all mean eventually, we'll have to see. but for right now, the senate is more active than it's been in quite a long time. >> nbc's kelly o'donnell, thank you as always. let's turn to jonathan allen, washington bureau chief for bloomberg news. always great to see you. it seems like this is going to pass both the house and the senate eventually. but do republicans secretly want the president to veto this? this then allows them to say, we're the ones passing things we're getting things done we're solving problems. the president's responsible for the gridlock here. >> yeah conflict equals campaign dollars. look i think republicans would prefer to get it done. i think they'd like

the objective is the same from the white house to congress. the objective is to make iran a non-nuclear power. they want to make sure that the country does not have the ability to threaten global security, especially israel. so the objective is the same. i think the politics are that the netanyahu visit is very provocative. he didn't -- speaker boehner didn't even inform as a courtesy of the white house or democratic leader pelosi. unilateral moves like that when you make them in a situation like this joy, you know you're going to get some backlash. boehner didn't care. now, the proponents of the tougher iran sanctions bills think that this is going to help get more votes for them when this matter is voted on sometime at the end of march. if there is no deal reached in these negotiations in europe as steve mentioned. no one really thinks a deal will be made by then. that's kind of the politics of it. in a sense, everybody is on the same page that there will be tougher sanctions in there's no deal. the obama administration wants more time to ma

. >> the white house has said the president will veto any keystone bill. it's unclear whether the gop will have enough votes to override such veto. we'll have live coverage at 3:00 p.m. with the lovely ladies and gents of "the cycle." there's a much more serious one we're following, an outbreak of measles. no fatalities or serious injuries but mounting an silts in numerous states tracing back to disney parks in california. an arizona health official says up to 1,000 people in their state may have also been exposed to the virus as part of the outbreak. an interesting take on that. i'll talk to one of the most controversial proposals for confronting this. something making a lot of waves. he maintains it constitutes neglect to refuse to vaccinate your children. in an argument that has made headlines today but comes from an old body of literature. anti-vaccine parents could actually be held libeling. we want your take do you think parents of vaccinated children should be able to sue parents of unvaccinated children. and president obama's attorney general nomin

he's divided his own country and caused a major riff with the white house. the best decision he could make now would be to gracefully withdraw because he doesn't want israel to be the subject of partisan bickering in the united states and wants to strengthen and should want to strengthen israel's position with the white house and with the current american president who has two years left on his term. >> i think the calculus that so concerned on iran and believes he could create a bipartisan coalition and has a lot of support among the democrats, to try to impose new sanctions on iran which the administration believes and most diplomats involved in the process believes would blow up nuclear talks that have been twice extended. >> right, and i think he also has to consider this andrea. he's got to worry about his relationship with president obama and secretary kerry. he needs to work with them. so i see this from two perspectives. two more reasons why i think it's ill considered. for us to invite him, for the united states to invite him, congress two weeks bef
