odin. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com this is cnn breaking news. this is cnn tonight, and i'm don lemon. tonight, we begin with breaking news, and another controversial police shoot ark and this is caught on camera and it is a south carolina police officer murdering an apparent unarmed man. it happened after a traffic stop in south charles tonton and video obtained by "the new york times" times," and it shows a man breaking away from a man, and then the officer fires eight shots at the man, 58-year-old walter scott, killing him, and the officer could face life in priz prizson or even death. the grieving family of walter scott speaking out a moment ago.

his brother, anthony, pleading for justice. >> from the beginning when it happened the first day, i always wondered what was the truth. i think that through the process, we have received the truth, and we can't get my brother back and my family is in deep mourning for that but through the process of justice have been served and i don't -- i don't think that all police officers are bad cops. but there are some bad once out there. and i don't want to see anyone get shot down the way my brother got shot down. we have all seen the video, and if there wasn't a video, would we know the truth? or would we have gone with what was reported earlier? but we do know the truth now.

and i just ask that everyone just continue to pray for my family that we get through this, because we do need prayer. becauseporary changes things. it changes things and justice will be served. >> the victim's brother anthony scott will be here live in a moment. stick around for that interview. ed lavandera has the story of this latest police shooting. >> reporter: when the video start, walter scott is turning and running away from the officer. eight shots and four seconds later the 50-year-old man falls to the ground at least 25 feet away pronounced dead at the scene. as the body is pronounced dead, the officer is heard yelling "put your hands behind your back." immediately after the shooting in this south carolina town in

north charleston he sthad there was a scuffle over the taser, and he felt threatened. officer shlager also said that he called for backup unit, a a ndnd then moments later he said that shots fired and subject is down. he took mytaser. then you can see that he is down with the officer, and it is not clear if if that is histaser and then you see the officer drop what could be thetaser next to walter scott's body. then the officer later picks up what he dropped to the ground. and michael shlager has been charged with murder with by the south carolina law enforcement division. his lawyer telling the media after the shooting that officer shlager believes that he followed all procedures of the north charleston police department, and that lawyer no longer represents the officer,

but the mayor says that officer shlager made a bad decision. >> when you are wrong, you are wrong. and if you make a bad decision don't care if you were behind the shield or just a citizen on the street you have to live by that decision. and so, we as a city want the family to know that our hearts and our thoughts are with them. >> reporter: north charleston police say that after the shoot g shooting, police officers provided first aid and cpr to walter scott, but several minutes passed and no officers are seen providing first aid even as the sirens are heard in the distance. even officer shlager's boss said that murder charges are appropriate in the shooting. >> the investigation revealed what it revealed, and we are obligated to do what the law dictates if the investigation so

revealed that, and it appears that through this videotape that sis where it fell. >> reporter: and don, tonight, we have received dozens of pages of pes nell pages of the officer of how he was applied to the police force there five years ago and he had serve ed ind in the coast guard before that, before becoming a police aufofficer, and there were two things that were kind of raised some eyebrows, and two reports that were issued by the citizens of formal complaints that were issued to the officer shlager and one dates back to december of 2014 where several people accused him of excessive force on ataser of someone who did not need ataser and he was exonerate and the second formal complaint was a citizen who asked for him to file a police report and he refused to do so and that is quote according to the document that we have sustained, and that

more serious one back to 2013 exonerated in a claim of excessive force going back to 2013. >> ed lavandera, thank you very much. i want to bring in anthony and rodney scott, brothers of walter scott, and also the family attorney jordan stuart. how are you doing? anthony, can you hear me? >> we are doing fine, don. >> anthony, i want to know what orange originally happened to your brother? >> i can hear you. >> oh i lost my feed. originally i was told that originally i was told that my brother was in a traffic stop.

and that ataser had been used. >> i apologize for the delay to you and the viewers, because it is a long delay, but we are going to continue. and the officer, and you mentioned a taser, and the officer appears to have dropped a object near the body of the brother, and also the police reports say that the officer performed cpr while waiting for the responders, but you don't see it on the tape. what is your reaction after you saw this video for the first time? time? >> when i saw the video for the first time i was deeply hurt that someone would gun down a human being in that way. and we just couldn't believe it. >> you said that you recently saw your brother at a function and he was in good spirits.

the only issue that he had was some back child support, but nothing to indicate any sort of violence and why do you believe that he ran from the officer? >> actually i believe that he ran from the officer because of the fact that he was being tased. >> whose car was he driving? >> don, the information that we have regarding the car it was his car that he had recently purchased, and there are witnesses and the officers said that he did run from the vehicle initially, and even if that is true that doesn't result in the death penlalty. running from an officer, doesn't result in the death penalty.

>> when did you rereceive the video, and what if anything can you tell about the person who shot that video? >> we can't comment on the origin of the video just yet, and the person who filmed it will be available at some point coming up, but the person who filmed the video is a hereo. many times in this country we see things, and we may film it or take a picture of it, and we don't turn it into the police or let them know what is going on and we don't give it to the family who has been wronged, and this person stood up like we all need to stand up for things. >> yes. >> and anthony, do you believe that the officer would have been charged without this video?

>> i believe with the wounds found on my brother, they could not say anything but murder being shot from the back like the way that he was. >> do you think that race played a role in this? >> don, we can't get into the brain of another individual so we can't state that and i think that it would be irresponsible to say that and try to inflame a community or anything of that nature but what we do know is what happened is irreprehensible being shot in the back like a dog regardless of what color you are. in this situation, he was african-american, and vieolence against african-americans and any minorities it does need to stop stop. >> and the reason i asked is because in the press conference anthony, you said that you don't believe that someone should be shot because of the car they

were driving or the color of their skin, and that is why i wondered if you believed that race should have played a role, and that is why i asked your thinking thinking. >> right. >> and anthony, tell me about your brother, and what kind of person was he? he was outgoing and loved in the community, and loved by everybody. all of the family loves him, and his kids loved him, and he brought together the unit well and even he had a adopted into the family other children as well. >> and the police reports, chris, it says that he was, that he didn't comply, and that he was running away from the officer, and he tried to take er taser, and now he is being

charged with a fellony that carries a life in prison to the death penalty, and do you believe that he was fighting back against the officer, and he was not complying? >> i believe that even if he was not complying by running from the officer, the eyewitness has stated that at no point did mr. scott punch the officer, attack the officer or touch thetaser at all all, and the video not only shows that but the witness also said that he was not trying to get thetaser or punch the officer, and when he ran away, he was shot when the officer started to shoot him, because mr. scott had not attack eded him. >> in your estimation, chris do you know if there sis a history with the charleston police department in this type of activity of stopping people for a broken taillights? >> i believe -- i believe that

is what anthony was saying that he was racially profiled driving a mercedes with rims on it and we have not reviewed that he had taillights on it working or not working, and we don't know if that is the reason for the stop, but there is a history of incidents involving the police in this area as we can see nationally it is a national issue issue. it happens in atlanta where the case where gregory towns was killed by the officers using ataser and it is a national problem, don. >> i want to ask you this don, the attorney who represented the officer withdrew the representation today, and have you spoken with him, and do you know why he is no longer represent inging that officer?

>> i don't know. we have not talked to him directly, and with the video totally contradicting the statements of what the policeman said earlier, and what he told the police department earlier, and the attorney said what happen and it sis a total fabrication, there weren't too many options. >> anthony, what do you want people to noeknow about your brother before we go? >> that he will be dearly missed. >> anthony scott, thank you very much. rodney scott, the brother is standing there as well for a moral support, and he does not have a microphone which is why we didn't speak to you, and their attorney representing them chris smith. and now join g using us is mark o'mara, and legal commentator

reeva martin and former police officer and former circuit court judge and host of judge alex and this is really tough. i want to ask all of your reaction to the tape and the family interview, was this murder? >> well, you know, what the tape shows is incredibly disturbing, and it is hard to figure out how you can defend the actions of the officer from what we see on the video. now, could the officer have had a reason for pulling him over? yes. let's submit that. could there have been some tussle before what the video picks up yes. but we see this man running away from the officer, and the idea that he could have posed a threat of death or bodily harm to that officer while fleeing, which we could submit that is not the smart thing to do but he is fleeing. right? so that is really hard to get from what we are seeing how you

could formulate a justification for that use of deadly force eight bullets fired at his back. it is hard to get there and i don't know how we do it. >> mark o'mara? >> well, first of all, the condolences to the family and the restraint of anthony in how he is reacting to this is amazing. thank god we have the videotape, because i agree with charles what he is saying that we know that law enforcement officers, and everybody have to only use deadly force in response to deadly force when you are truly in fair of great bodily injury to yourself and i don't care what happened before that video picked up we know that he was running away, and at that point even if the officer was upset for whatever reason it does not justify the deadly force. and another concerning thing in that video is how he seemed to suggest maybe that there was some felony occurring by bringing over thetaser and dropping it next to the decedent

decedent. it is really troubling. >> and judge and reeva, we will get you on the other side because of time purposes, but we have so much more on this story of the shooting of a man who appeared to be unarmed. and in the aaron hernandez trial, the jury is back to work but this man they have seen in court day after day and is that the real hernandez, and has the prosecution made the case against him. and listen up rand paul wants you, today, the senator from kentucky as a hopeful for president. does he have a shot with african-americans? we will talk about that coming up.

back to our breaking news. a south carolina police officer charged with murder after a video surfaces showing him shooting an unarmed man running for his life. joining us is judge alex ferrera and ereeva as well as mark o'mara and charles blow. >> well we can't underscore the importance of these videos and the national conversation about the body cams, because we know that the police officer gave a very different account of the incident that has been toteally

dispelled because of the video. so using the body cams and the video videos, we can prosecute the bad officers involved in bad shootings like this one. >> judge? >> i looked at the video from the beginning to end, and i will have to tell you with my experience as a police officer and judge, i dont't see how you justify the shooting, i mean, i don't know how. there rare very, very limited circumstances in which you can shoot somebody who is flee and i can't imagine what he could come up that happened before that video camera started running that would justify that use of force and in fact one of the explanations on the radio is that thetaser and the guy was running away with thetaser, and it doesn't seem to be upheld with the video, and even if it were true that is not going to justify it there. >> and is that why the police department acted so quickly, because most people believe nothing justifies this shooting judge? >> i agree. in most departments the police

officers don't want a bad cop among them either and most of the cops are good cops, and maybe you will run into one who is rude or bad day, but you have teachers who are rude or a priest and you don't say that all teachers or priests are bad. and maybe they feel sorr ri for the colleague because they are working with them but most of them are not going to be standing behind him in a situation like this. >> and can i say something on this point, because this is a point that is really important to me, because this we politicians have said that most police officers are good and i believe that the police aufofficers are are good, but we are kon can front agriculture in which the people are attracted to line of work and people some people who may have kind of issues with the anger issues with the aggression, and that the too many officers are kind of inculcating these people and not enough people are stepping forward. the good officers that i have written about and the people that we keep talking about, we

need to hear from you, and when something else happens in the world, and we say, we need the good people in this group to step up and say something and condemn this act. we need the good police officers to step up and condemn these acts. your silence is no longer acceptable, because this is a cultural issue, and you have to confront the cullture in your own profession. >> and when you look at the video -- >> and can i piggyback on that. >> and when you look at the video, and it appears that the officer drops thetaser near the victim, most people interpret that as planting the evidence. >> he was. >> and he was, according to you guys. >> and i want to piggy back on that. >> that is certainly what it looks like. >> and before the video, none of the cops in this police department came forth to question how he got shot eight times and so most are not willing to be honest about the bad shootings, i don't know hu

we get to the bottom of the problem. it is bad enough that activists are talking about it, but the cops need to will be talking about the shootings that are clearly bad shootings. >> judge? >> well i am not sure what you would expect the police officer to do, because a police officer is not going to be jumping forward while there is an investigation into the shoot ging, and say, well, my opinion is. and the investigation is -- >> and we do see the officers jumping forward. >> and there are representatives from the police unions and the police associations that you will hear on the television all of the time justifying the police actions all of the time and those people are -- they are supposed to speak out. >> police unions will always always always defend the off officer. they are like the attorney for the officer, and i have had battles with them about that. >> and don, if i might. if there is a take away. >> go ahead, mark o'mara? >> if i might, and if there is any take a waiway or any silver line to this shooting it is what

reva said that would not have happened if the body camera were on, because it makes the cops think better and more often and think more carefully of what is going to be taped, and so it is a poster child case for the fact that we need to have the cops with body cameras. >> and not only cops with body cameras, b uut we need to change the culture and the attitudes of the individual officer, and -- wait a second, you should not behave well, because you expect that you will be caught by the camera on the lapel, you should behave better because you recognize the humanity in the person that you are facing, and you recognize that you want them to get home to their families as much as you want to get home to your family, and it is about recognizing the humanity of the people that you are protecting and serving, and so it is a cultural change and not a equipment change, and so we are leaning too heavily on that. >> and it is also an honor to wear that uniform and badge.

and it is an honor to wear that uniform and badge and if you do something like that, you are disgracing the good officers that we talk so much about. >> and the family in the case makes that point well we vhave been talking about these cases from the race standpoint and obviously, race may be an issue in this case, but they talked about the humanity that all lives matter and the difference of the power of the police officers and the citizens and the need for officers to recognize the value of all lives including unarmed african-american men. >> we have a sound bite from the press konconference and i hope we have it, because it is the brother talking about whether race played a role, and what kind of car, and that is the reason i asked him that question during my questioning of him. let's listen to it and then we will talk about it. >> i don't think that you should be stopped just because of the car you are drive torg coloring or the color of your skin. >> he goes on, but he did not want to talk about it in the

interview. the officer is white and the suspect is black, and this is do we know if it is about race or an abuse of power? charles. >> i think that the attorney for the family articulated it beautifully, i can't climb into anybody else's head in any particular casek and i can't say what was going through this officer's head at this particular moment, however, when you look at the pattern, it is a disturbing pattern of what these, you know, these cases, who the suspects look like, and that is really a problem that i think that when we look at the data point, and the set, we will see a problem, and i also think that we will see a problem in the composition of the police forces and north charlotte, 47% of the people who live there and 37% are black and 37% of them are white, and yet 80% of the police force is white, and it does not mean that the black people are being excluded, but if you have a sense that a police force is not on your

side, it is your less likely to want to become part of that police force, and so it is a vicious cycle of bias and perceptions of bias that are which people cannot have a police force of their community. >> and tonight, u.s. senator tim scott tweeting about this. he said after watching the video, and the senseless shooting and taking of walt erer scott's life, it is utterly avoidable, and my heart is aching and i will be watching this case closely. >> what do you see of this? >> because of the racial disparity of a white cop shooting a black individual tha they will look at it, and they well should, and this is another opportunity for ferguson-like event, and if we handle it better this time and obviously looks like the police department is

is, then maybe we are learning some lessons along the way, because we have to look at the case, and as charles said, what can we learn from this, and my concern and the reason that i do think that small maneuvers like the body cameras are much better, because these are societal and as charles said cultural problems that will take decades to fix but if we have something that helps to feature it, and body cameras are a good way to start, then we can hold people responsible with when they act inappropriate and biased ways. >> all of you, thank you very much. appreciate all of you. when we come can back the latest news on another shocking case exnew england patriot, the star there aaron hernandez and the jury will get back to work in hours, and could he be found not guilty? i care deeply about the gulf. i grew up in louisiana. i went to school here. i've been with bp ever since. today, i lead a team that sets our global safety standards.

after the spill we made two commitments. to help the gulf recover and become a safer company. we've worked hard to honor both. bp has spent nearly 28 billion dollars so far to help the gulf economy and environment. and five years of research shows that the gulf is coming back faster than predicted. we've toughened safety standards too. including enhanced training... and 24/7 on shore monitoring of our wells drilling in the gulf. and everyone has the power to stop a job at any time if they consider it unsafe. what happened here five years ago changed us. i'm proud of the progress we've made both in the gulf and inside bp.

the jury of the aaron hernandez murder trial goes to deliberations again tomorrow. could they find the expatriot star not gilluilty? susan candiotti has been

following it since the beginning, and she joins us now. you have been in the courtroom for weeks now. you have been watching aaron hernandez in court now for weeks, does the jury see the same aaron hernandez that you do? >> he is very attentive in court, and listens to the evidence, and witnesses, and he takes notes throughout, and very serious, but when the cameras are not rolling, and the jury is not in the courtroom we see him walk in and out of the courtroom with quite an air of confidence and he smiles and laughs and jokes with the lawyers, and in particular even flirts with his fiancee, smiling and laughing quite a bit, and that is again, something that the jury does not see, and it is quite remarkable to watch, don. >> i want you to watch this, susan, the viewers, because today, the last day of the trial, the defense told the jury something new. listen. >> so what are you to make of aaron's conduct?

did he make all of the right decisions decisions? no. did he make all of the right choices? no. he was a 23-year-old kid. he had witnessed something. a shocking killing. committed by somebody that he knew. he he really didn't know what to do. >> so susan, his own team admitting that he witnessed something, and why didn't he take the stand and tell what he knew? was this a bombshell? >> yes, because they had never before acknowledged that he was there at the witnessing, and he chose those words carefully, because he said that he witnessed something, and so he does not say the word murder but why doesn't he take the stand? because it sis very rare for a defendant to take the stand.

it can be very risky for them, because there is a lot of evidence that he would have to answer to. >> all right. let's listen, susan to, the prosecution in the closing. >> who would after a homicide who would walking around with a gun in his hand like it was a trophy of some sort? keeping a gun in the house, you noeknow who would? aaron hernandez would. because guess what no one would ever believe it right? >> susan, do you believe that the d.a. did enough to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt? >> don, that is always the question that sis impossible to answer. and only the jury will tell us that, and they will when they eventually reach a verdict. the pros kuecutors tried to do the best they could to prove that aaron hernandez as they put it participated and not only participated in the plot but put it together and orchestrated it.

it is quite a different picture of course that you hear from the defense. so the jurors have been deliberating for an hour and a half today, and they will be bak back firsts thing in the morning, don. >> thank you, susan candiotti. coming up aaron hernandez was a star player for the new england patriots. is this a case of celebrity justice? is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do. i am totally blind. and sometimes i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24. learn more by calling 844-824-2424.

>> one of the big surprises in the aaron hernandez murder trial is that the witness saying that his client witnessed a murder. and so now, reporting for "rolling stone", glad to have you joining us mark geragos and judge alex ferer. was this smart for his attorney to say that he witnessed odin lloyd's murder? >> well, i don't know if it is smart, but it may have been the only move they could have played. because you can ask the jury to believe certain things is

possible, but the more you ask them to accept it, the less it is to accept but maybe the blunt at the scene with the dna on it is maybe they smoked before they went to the scene and somebody else dropped it there, and the shoe print there, maybe it was not his shoe, and the casing, and at some point, you will lose the credibility of the jury and whether it was smart or not, i don't know, but you get to point where you don't have a reasonable argument that you kcan make, and then you take the best shot that you can. i don't think it is a good argument, and on the video we see that he comes back from the scene, and if you believe the defense attorney that he is a just a 23-year-old kid and the guys he was with killed the friend and he comes back home and he hands these guy ss his baby and he hangs out with them in the pool chilling and drinking frozen drinks, and whatever and it is not the normal reaction of somebody who thinks, oh, my god, they just killed my friend. >> and just witnessed it correct? >> and paul, you initially

believed it would be tough for aaron hernandez to beat, but now not so much because you believe that the judge is a problem in the case. explain that. >> well, i have heard so much damning evidence tossed long before it got into the evidence here including very powerful presumption of motive. had that basketball that been introduced one of the gaping holes in the prosecution's case which is why did he kill this guy at least by the defense's contention was dear friends with would have been resolved. i think that it is really it has been an uphill road for the prosecution to make the case in front of this judge, but the thing that keeps hitting me over the head is hernandez' behavior after the events that night. as the judge says he goes home

and immediately begins to disposing of evidence and hangs out the next day at his flophouse with these two pcp buddies of his. and, you know seems perfectly at ease. so there he is in the car, right. passing around a joint, and inhaling the smoke that is going into their lungs, and why has no one raised the obvious point that he was on pcp himself that night. >> and does it matter then his actions that might, and how much does it matter mark geragos, because no weapon no, motive and how much of the actions afterwards involved and does that mean not guilty? >> well in is what troubles me about it. i thought that the defense got off to a roaring start, and i have said it all along the uphill battle for the prosecution. but what i am p perplexed about

is that they obviously all of this stuff would have or should have been known to the defense, so why do you plot the ground and kind of stake out the ground that you did initially and then seemingly change your position during the course of the trial, and i think that take a new position at the end of the trial. they think that is where you have the problem with the credibility with the jury, and that is what i am somewhat perplexed about. i understand that there's certain things that you can't and don't want to have to deelal with if you are the defense lawyer, but you can't fight the facts. and if you knew the facts, you shouldn't get the jury to the po position where they are with you in the beginning, and then all of the sudden, you pull the rug out from under them at the end. and that is perplexing for me at least. >> come on mark you have had difficult cases where you is to argue in the alternative and you say, well, the police did a lousy job, and they didn't ta tick tire the print right and

you can't believe that but oh biy the way, my client was not there anyway, and the lawyers do that because they are trying to throw everything they can hoping that the jury will latch on to one of them. >> and we learned early on, alex, that the there is a real problem with doing that. this idea of the alternative theories and throwing it all up there, i think that you lose all credibility with the jury. my feeling is that -- >> i can't disagree with you. >> and in my career, it is basically, this is what it is, and know what the evidence is if you are the defense lawyer and you know explain it and preview it and tell the jury, this is bad, but this is why it is not so bad. >> and talk about the question that we raised before this the celebrity factor in this paul. how did that play into the jury? will it have an effect on the decision? >> well, i think that there is a celebrity angle, and also the human angle. aaron hernandez is in the mid-20

mid-20s, and when he is not high on pcp, for days or weeks at a time he is actually handsome, and if you like tall dark and sociopathic. he is very presentable to a jury and who is going to be now tasked to put away or decide whether to put away a young man for the rest of his natural days with the case of no murder weapon or no direct witness and no motive advanced. >> thank you shgs, paul. mark and judge alex, appreciate all of you coming up. could black voters help rand paul win the white house? my expert hs will go head-to-head next. where do you get this kind of confidence?s hs will go head-to-head next. hs will go head-to-head next. will go head-to-head next. our expert trained technicians... state of the art technology and warranty parts keep your vehicle running right. it's no wonder we sold more than 3.5 million tires last year and durning the big tire event

well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. tell me about it. let's see, golf clinic, or blood clinic? ooh, that's a tough one. not this time. not with xarelto®. anything else? i'll have another arnold palmer. ok. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor

some breaking political news to tell you about tonight. rahm emanuel has won re-election in the first-ever runoff for mayor in chicago. and rand paul of kentucky say ss he is running for president, and he is courting black voters and is that a winning strategy? we will talk about it with kevin cha chavis and amy holmes anchor at

the blaze tv, and good to see you. kevin, i want to start with you, rand paul has he made the case that african-americans should vote republican? >> well, it is interesting that woody allen said that 80% in success of life is showing up. that is frankly a problem of the republicans that they have had and more recently of democrats just showing up and talking about the issues and the issues matter. rand paul has done a couple of interest ging things over the last couple of years that have gone beyond the surface treatment. when he asked me to come testify on capital h hill to talk about school choice a afterwards he sat down with me, and he said kevin we need to do something about the 2,500 dropout factories and the reason that school choice is important, and the kids need to go the good schools and not bad schools, and you could tell that he had done the homework and something that is more telling, when he talked about the disparity of the sentencing guidelines of crack and powder cocaine, my sons

called me and they said that he is serious, and he has to walk the walk. >> and now, you sound like a sup supporter -- >> no, well, i have not supported anyone yet, but it is too early for that and because, to me i have to say that the most important issue is education, but this is important, and this is why we are on this show. and democrats have been giving the surface treatment to these issues. >> and to be fair, i have to get amy in here can he win niany early caucus or primaries and garner some african-american votes? >> well, he could possibly win some early primaries and we are many, many months away, and there is a long time between now and january, but when it comes to the black vote, it is not so important in the gop primary specifically in the constituency but it is helping him broaden his appeal and -- rand paul and sorry, i have

been doing it all day. >> i have been doing it all day. >> i was at ted cruz's announcement and his fans were there en force and they were active supporters of him, and the way he is trying to broaden the appeal, and redefine the issues for the gop could potentially be a winning strategy for him, because politics is a game of addition and not subtractionsubtraction. >> and first, mr. chavous, do you believe that the democrats have taken people for granted, and it is time for african-american voters to look at people in the libertarian party? >> well, someone who is going to be demonstrating compassion and knowledge of the issues and commonsense policies and it is too early to say whether or not rand paul is doing that but it is important for him to have this discussion. >> amy? >> african-american voters and

all voters should look at the substance and the issues and the politician that best represents them and don't worry about the r-d-i, vote for the person who agrees with you on the issues. >> it is a tough sell. amy, what did you do? because i didn't recognize you. >> the curls will be back friday. >> okay. appreciate both of you. thank you. >> thank you.
