goes searching the sea floor. and now a man is accused of shooting and killing three people in a jewish community in overland park, kansas, on the eve of passover. he is frazier glenn cross, and he sgoing to -- he is going to be in court today with firing a shotgun, and having a firearm. a grandfather and his grandson, an eagle scout were killed. and there was also a woman killed whose name has not been named. and the man was apprehended at a nearby school, and you can hear the hate words. last night there was a vigil to pray for the victims including

the victims dr. william lewis korporon and his grandson reat griffin. >> i know that you realize that my father and son were both killed, and i know they are in heaven together. >> i want to bring in the senior fellow of the poverty law center, and the editor of the blog hate watch. >> good morning. >> suspect glenn frazier has been on your target for some time, and he was not shy of hiding the white supremacy views, and i want to play some clip clips of him in 1985 to our affiliate. >> we are going to take over the country. and we are third class citizens

now. >> and tell us why he has been on the radar for such a long time? >> well, he is incredibly violent, and scary, and former clansman and neo-nazi, and we tangled with glenn miller in a serious way back in the 1980s. we sued the original group the carolina group of the ku klux klan and he then later broke the consent agreement that we reached with him. he went on the lam and became a fugitive after the feds discovered that he was amassing wep papons stolen from the miliy and he was planning to assassinate the founder of the poverty law center morris dees. >> the fbi is involved and it is being investigated as a hate i crime. and the president addressed it this morning at the prayer visit. >> this morning our prayers are

with the people in overland park, and we are still learning the details, but this much we know. a gunman opened up fire at two jewish facilities, a community center and a retirement home. innocent people were killed. their families were devastated, and this violence has struck at the heart of the jewish community in kansas city. two of the victims a grandfather and his teenaged son attended the united methodist church of the resurrection which is led by our friend reverend edward hamilton and some of you know that reverend hamilton delivered the sermon at the national cathedral, and i was honored with his presence and words where he spoke at my inauguration, and then he spoke at a sermon to break this terrible news to his congregation.

this occurred now, as the jews were preparing to celebrate passover, and the christians are observing palm sunday makes this tragedy all of the more painfulful, and today, as passover begins, we are seeing a number of synagogues and the jewish centers take added precautions, and nobody should have to worry about the security when gather iing with their felw believers, and nobody should have to fear for their safety when they go to pray. as a government, we are going to provide whatever assistance is needed to support the investigation. as americans we not only need to open up our hearts to the victim s, but we have to stand united against this terrible violence which has no place in our society. and we have to keep coming together. across faiths to combat the i ignorance, and the intolerance

including anti-semitism that can lead to violence, because we are all made from god, and worthy of his dignity and in his image. and we can see around the world when this kind of religious based tinge rears its ugly head in our society. s so. >> and pete, this is the question of whether this is a hate crime. tell us about the fbi involvement, and with what classifying it as a hate crime would mean? >> well, in in case, the fbi involvement is not much. he has been arrested on local charges, and charged with first-degree murder, and premeditated first de gree mu-d murder. kansas is a death penalty state, and so kansas could if it chose to pursue the ultimate p punishment, and classifying it as a hate crime would not change that, because it is classified as the worst possible crime.

i doubt there is any federal involvement in how it is prosecuted. right now they will help the police gather evidence and what they can help the local police with, but it is not going to be prosecuted as a federal crime. >> and mark, we are so attuned particularly in a post 9/11 world to look at the home grown violence and the result of some sort of mental illness or a terrorism, the kind that we saw on 9/11, but if these shootings were in fact motivateded by hate, it comes at a a time when the ap tie defamation league said that anti-semitism acts are on the decline. 19% fewer than the year before they have reported. and that is the lowest level since the adl first started keeping stats. but tell us about the status of the ku klux klan and white supremacists and other hate groups? >> well, it is right that the

anti-sem tick incidents have been going down, and national crime statistics do verify that. and as far as other radical groups out there, we are at historically low numbers in the militia or the hate-type groups. it is not so much that the gr p groups as groups plan the attacks, but they provide the milieu from which these people come. frazier glenn miller was involved in a number of different grow groups, and neo-nazi, and klan groups over years, but for years, he has been operating as a lone operator although in tandem with a neo-nazi van site in particular vanguard national news. >> and we heard the concerns, pete, as we head into passover at sundown, and in new york, the

mayor was going to take steps to secure the jewish institutions here in new york, and how large is the concern, and what the federal government is looking for? >> well, it is based spirely just on a concern that there may be copycats, and other people may be emboldened by it. that is as simple as it is. it is a step that is often taken anyway around the big jewish holidays in the big cities. so it is not difficult to do, because they have dope it before. and as you talked to marc about it, we know that they live everyday and until they do something we forget about it, but there are incidents like this targeting the jewish groups, and the buford ferraro shooting, a few years ago, and these are a reminder that they

are out there. >> and we are stund about this connecti connection, because we don't pay attention it to on a day-to-day b basis, and frankly, someone in the seat of a police car yelling "heil h "heil hitler" and we are reminded of the interview with shock jock howard stern, and asked, who do you hate more, blacks or jew, a hend said, jews 1,000 times more, and what do we need to know as americans or as petri said, someone who understands it, on a daily basis. >> well, there is an entire world out there as pete said, it is underground world that surfaces in the public mind from time to time. pete mentioned furrow, the man who tried to murder several children in a jewish community center and did murder a postal

worker at the same time that barack obama became president in 2009, a similar kind of guy, and a well known neo-nazi, and old man about the same age as frazier glenn miller attacked the holocaust museum, and attacked a guard there. and of course, we had the attack on the martin luther king parade where a neo-nazi bomber who was in contact with frazier glenn miller attempted to murder as many as 1,000 people. so it goes on and on, and a couple of years ago, of course, we had the shooter who attacked a sikh temple in wisconsin, and very much a neo-nazi like frazier glenn williams. >> if people want to know more, i spent 20 any minutes on the website of all of the hate crime s, and anti-semitic, and anti-black and anti-lgbt, and it

is an eye-opening 20 minutes that i spent there. mark potac, we appreciate it from the southern poverty law center, and pete williams from the washington bureau, thank you as well. >> sure. >> thank you. and for the first time the crews will use an an unmanned submarine to search for missing plane. it will work to create a map of the ocean floor and search for the debris. it is painstaking, and it could take months or years. the head of the search says they have not picked up an acoustic signal from the black boxes in six days. today, the teacher s as arek to work at franklin regional high skochool after that stabbi rampage. 21 students and security guard were injured when alex hribal attacked with kitchen knives. there are still three students

in critical condition. and a tornado touched down in loveland, texas. today, the threat is centered over east texas and six other states in the south. severe thunderstorms and damaging winds and hail and isolated tornadoes are in the forecast. firefighters in chili worked desperately through the night to maintain a massive wildfire in the city of el pa ray ceo. it has injured 200 people, and fires with were contained shortly after saturday, but the windsic canned up, and pushed the flames out of control. coming up, 2016 gop hopefuls converging on new hampshire. and they say they are pitching a tent, but would they like to leave one front-runner behind? and next, will a confirmation battle turn into obamacare proxy war? that is coming up after the break.

new signals that the republicans will use the confirmation of sylvia burwell as hhs secretary as political ammunition heading into the midterms. ted cruz said that kathleen sebelius' resignation does not in any way end the health care fight, and now the nomination for the new secretary could be a proxy for warfare against the obamacare. >> are yout burwell, because you don't like obamacare? >> absolutely not. the questions that we have to get to however, is whether or not director burwell will be serving for the president of the united states with his ad jgends the primary objective or will she get into the details of the numbers? >> well, focus on obamacare is

what the democrats don't want right before the midterms, and let me bring in our editor perry bacon, and catherine lucinich who is a editor for the washington post. and so the president chose si sylvia burwell for the hhs post, but even in her previous post she was unanimously confirmed. >> well, remember that the senate changed the rules last year to have 55 to confirm, and i believe they will use this process, because obama has said that 7.5 million people have health insurance, and it is a good story. and the republicans will have people whose insurance went up in the process, and who lost insurance, and it is less of burwell being confirmed, and the

republicans highlighting anything wrong with obama care in the process. >> well, you have heard tim scott reference obamacare and the numbers and conwoman marcia blackwell also brought it up on "face the nation." >> burwell is an interesting choice, and many of us and a growing consensus, i believe, that they know that they have a math problem with obamacare, and the numbers are not going to work out so that the program is going to be actuarially sound, and they have to have somebody to kind of spin the numbers, and in is something with burwell coming from the omb, i think that they are expecting her to do it for them. >> and jackie, there is no one questioning the number of people who sijed up. so i guess that the suggestion is that sillylvia burwell who h an impeccable reputation would be spinning the numbers of whether or not the money is saved or the affordable health care act is affordable, and if

the people who sign have paid, and what do you make of the comments? ? swe >> well, i don't nknow about that, because she was chosen in an overwhelming confirmation hearing in the senate last year. she is someone who has brought out some of the good stories, but you will see some of the democrats who are going to be far, far away are the this, and the mark pryors and the mary landrieu's don't want to talk about the person or the affordable care act, because it is hurting democrats who want to focus on the economy and the economic messages rather than talking again about obamacare. >> and obviously, some republicans, perry, see it as an opportunity, a as we have been saying, they will bring up the issues that they see with obamacare at this confirmation hearing, an unlike most of us, most people are not sitting home to watch every single minute of

the confirmation hearings, and so does it change it, and make it more difficult for the democrats? >> well, i don't believe it does. as jackie said, the key problem for the republicans running in the red states is not whether or not they voted for burwell, but obamacare or not. the vote that was problematic to them has already occurred and any democrat running for re-election is going to have to defend the obama care. it is a situation that is going to be in the next two weeks to have it disabused as a story that is working well, and can you question in a way that it rebuts in an argument that obama care is doing well, and making the arguments that obama care has been doing in the last few weeks. >> and people have been asking if kathleen sebelius waited too long the resign, and too close to the midterms, and let me play you a clip of andrea mitchell's exclusive interview with kathleen sebelius.

>> well, actually, i made a decision at the e llection that could not leave along with a lot of my colleagues who left at the end of the first term, because it did not seem to be a topic to consider because since there was still one more chapper in the affordable health care act that needed to roll out. i also thought that at the end of the open enrollment was a logical time to leave. there is never a good time. >> any kerp or sense among the democrats that it might have been better for them if the president had let kathleen sebelius go when the web site would have failed. >> can you imagine trying to confirm another hhs secretary in the wick of that? and just to respond to what perry said, it ist is difficult to say that the prosperity groups are not going to take advantage of the president's hhs nominee, like they have with all of the other misstep thes. >> thank you, both. so nice to have you both and the

progr program. >> thank you. >> thank you. and you can watch more on the kathleen sebelius interview with andrea mitchell coming up right here on msnbc. and today, at the oscar pistorius trial, he broke down again on the stand, and is the prosecutor getting tougher to get the highest sentence. and is ukraine headed to civil war, and what can the u.s. do about it? i've always kept my eye on her... but with so much health care noise, i didn't always watch out for myself.

you did. why are you getting emotional no now? >>. [ sobbing ] i did not fire at reeva. >> and we were just talking, our legal analyst, i spent several years covering the courts in the local news, and this is not an aggressive pros ecutor, but he s repeatedly accusatory, and he started the day saying that he would prove that pistorius was lying, and he had testify ed iea concocted version of events, and did he poke holes into the story? >> yes, he did, and there were two things that pistorius needed to do with the testimony. he needed to be consistent and believable, and at this point, he se struggling for both. and one example, prior to the cross-examination, he has always said that he shot the gun four times in self-defense, because he thought that there was an intruder, and he knows now that he was mistaken, but all along he said that was an intentional

act, and he gets to the cross-examination, he says that i did not fire the gun intentionally, and that was an accident, and so not only shoot and kill reeva, the gun going off is an accident in and of itself, and those are two completely different things that he is alleging. >> one of the reports covering the trial described him as sounding and looking and we don't see him, but the folks there do looking like a broken man. again, no jury, and this is a case to be decided by the judge who has been stone-faced throughout the trial. and his demeanor and the exhaustion if he does indeed look like a broken man and does that play into it when looking at a judge? >> i have never e seen a defendant as emotional as oscar pistorius has been throughout this trial. i mean, he breaks down. they take breaks often. he has vomited twice. they have to keep a bucket near him in the courtroom, but at the end of the day, that really may not matter? and some of the emotion and the

remorse may be true and sincere, but it is not about how he feels now, but it is about how he felt then, and his intentions back then at the time that he committed the crime. the prosecutors are not buying into thus, and look at gerrie nel going right after him trying to break the case apart. >> and some analysts are saying that he is moving to another level, and looking to get the maximum sentence, and he believes he has the conviction, and if it is a premeditated murder conviction, it is a minimum of 25 years. >> yes, from the very beginning, they say it is premeditated, but so far in looking at the evidence and the testimony, i don't know if they have enough to get the top count of premeditation, but based on everything that we have heard so far in the testimony, i don't see the judge really buying into oscar pistorius' account, because she is going to compare to the ther witnesses the physical evidence, and i'm not sure it lines up. >> faith jenkins, our legal analyst, always good to have you

the situation in ukraine has gotten so dangerous so quickly that the acting president there is asking the u.n. for peacekeeping troops. the u.n. already held an emergency meeting on the crisis last night, and the ukrainian military is trying to fight back as the pro russian forces keep taking over more and more buildings in the eastern part of the country. vice president biden will head to ukraine next week. and now we have our reporter

there in ukraine where a dead lain -- deadline for the insurgents to give up weapons has expired. what can you tell us? >> yes, chris. for the militias to leave the buildings and lay down the weapons have faul llen on the d ears. because they took over a police station early monday morning, about 40 miles north of where we are. and in what we have seen over the last several days the forces of the militias seem to be well armed, coordinated and organize and disciplined. that has led the ukrainian government, and the u.s. to put the blame squarely on moscow. no clear indication that the forces that are taking over some of the buildings are acting on the orders of russia, but there are so many similarities between what happened in crimea when the pro russian forces there seized the government buildings and

then ultimately led to the referendum, and what we are seeing on the ground in the eastern part of the country, and it is to say that the well armed men that we are seeing are in fact being coordinated by russia, and if not acting directly on their behalf, certainly with their blessings. and now any decision of the ukrainian. go to use force is criminal, and urging the united states and others to stop fomenting what they are saying is civil war inside of ukraine. and the ultimatum that we are talking about came from the ukrainian president, and he said it is up to the separatists to leave the buildings, and in exchange for them to be given amnesty, and not prosecuted, but if they refused, it is up to the ukrai ukrainian officials to take over the buildings that have been lost. we are have seen it where several cities have government buildings and police stations controlled now by the pro russian separatist militias. >> thank you so much.

and i want to bring in david road, investigative reporter to reuters and david crane who is an ambassador to ukraine. and ambassador, samantha powers calls this very tense. are they on the brink of civil war? >> no, it is not civil war of ukrainians against ukrainians, but it is russian aggression that the ukrainian military and the security services is obligated to counter. and so this is not civil war, but it is aggression by the russians. >> and the question is, what does the west do about it? i want to look at a couple of things. talk about the possible escalation of sanctions that ambassador powers talked about. here she is. >> the sanctions here have brought the ruble to the all-time low in terms of the

value, and the russian stock market has depreciated by 20%, and the investors are fleeing, and that is just based on the sanctions up to this point. and the president has made it clear that based on the russian behavior, other mining and banking sanctions could take place, and if this continues, you will see a ramping up of the sanctions. >> and you have to look at this in the context of vladimir putin, and his popularity is at an all-time high, and sanctions take a while, and what is the fact that they will move quickly? >> well, the ukrainian government can overreact. and having ukrainian government kill russian insurgents is what putin wants. they are called not to overreact, and go slowly there. was a call for the u.n. observers and a smart move to

get some international observers in there, and you would not have the violence. es escalating the violence sends a pretext for putin to end send in the troops. >> and in addition to that, senator john mccain says that we should battle the separatists. >> we should at least for god sakes give them light weapons to defend themselves, and so far, not only has this administration not done that, but they won't share the intelligence with the ukrainian government. i can tell you with my conversations of the people in the government, they feel abb abandoned by us. >> and what would you say by both u.n. and the u.s. sending in troops and arming the ukrainian troops, ambassador? >> sending in the u.n. observers is a good idea. there are u.n. observers in there now, and this is another test of the russians and the

security kocouncil to see if th would allow the observers, and good move, and confidence-building measure. on the arming, if the ukrainians as they have, have asked for military support, i think that we should be providing that, and i think that we should provide the defensive weapons, and the exercises that the ukraines have asked for, and the military to military coordination that we have all done with the ukrainian military, and that kind of military to military support and cooperation should happen and be advanced. >> and in the meantime, the vice president head ing ing to kiev, david, but it is not until the 22nd of april, and what are the chances that might be moved up, and what does the white house hope to accomplish with him in kiev? >> well, it is a gamble, because if the government is saying that the administration is weak, and do you want joe bide n in the

middle of all of this? maybe they could step back and announce some new sanctions burk again, putin, more violence, more talk of the weapons plays into putin's con spespiracy the that it is all a cia plot in the ukraine, and any of the images of the pro russian demonstrators being killed is go g ing to be helpful to putin and disastrous to the overall situation. >> david road, always good to have you here, and former ambassador william taylor, thank you as well. >> thank you. checking the news feed, a federal judge is expected to make a key ruling of same-sex marriage in ohio. the judge is saying that he will order the government to recognize marriages the same as other marriages. and in sacramento, a plane was emergency landed after a man attempted to open a door mid flight. air marshals quickly restrained

h him. this is what one man had to say. >> we basically tackled and i don't want to say gentleman, but the guy back, the there, and pi him down. he was going to do bad thing to the plane, and so it was pretty scary. >> the pilot was forced to divert to omaha, nebraska, and the passengers applauded when the suspect was taken off of the plane. and another airline threat in a airport screening, aldon smith, former san francisco 49ers player, arrested after making a false report of a bomb. another sign that pope francis is a pontiff for the modern age. after the palm sunday mass, he hopped off of the pope mobilings, and took some selfies with the crowd. these are not the first. it came after the service where pope francis threw out the spoken homily, and spoke off of the cuff for 15 minutes. retail rebound, and courtney reagan is looking at what is v

move yog ur money, and it appears that the spending freeze from the long winter may be thawing a little bit? >> yes, chris. it looks like the americans are thawing out after the severe winter throughout the entire country. the government says that the retail sales in march rose 1%, and that is the biggest in a year, and it surprised the economists, and did not expect that much of a gain. they also revised the previously reported february sales data to reflect more spending than we thought for a month. we saw 10 of 13 sales categories increasing in march, and that is strong when you think that the first half of the month was still cold, and many pars of the country, the market encouraged by this with the dow up 90 points, and some economists are upping the overall economic estimates, because of this number today. >> meantime, the tax filing deadline is tomorrow. and that is the bad news, and

the good news is that the chances of getting audited are really slim this year. >> yeah, that is right. so at least maybe that is going to the take a edge off of the looming april 15th deadline that comes around and surprises some of us. so because of to budget cuts and the responsibilities, they are putting a strain on the resources at the irs, and the chances of being audited this year are lower than a number of chances, but so, too, are the questions of getting them answered at the phone here at the end of the year. and the irs budget is down by $1 billion, and they will have fewer auditors since the 1980s, and less than 1% of all tax returns were audit ed, and they were low, but do your best to get them in. >> and few people have had audits and said it is the worst experience of their life. >> courtney reagan, good to see you. >> and we less than a few weeks left, bloomberg has a list of the top selling candy bars in the world, and they are all

chocolate. cadbury is the fifth, and then millka and number three is dove with number two being reece's, and snickers is the number one candy bar in the world. it's a masterpiece. thanks. clearly you are type e. you made it phil. welcome home. now what's our strategy with the fondue? diversifying your portfolio? e*trade gives you the tools and resources to get it right. are you type e*? predibut, manufacturings a prettin the united states do. means advanced technology. we learned that technology allows us to be craft oriented. no one's losing their job. there's no beer robot that has suddenly chased them out.

carsthey're why we innovate. they're who we protect. they're why we make life less complicated. it's about people.

we are volvo of sweden. for now, we have a whole new platform that young voters are really going to love. >> for example, a lot of you out there are probably in favor of the gay marriage, right? [ applause ] >> we thought so. well, you are in luck, because the new gop is not going to talk about it as much. >> that is how "saturday night live" poked fun at the latest round of the republican rebranding. it has been an ongoing challenge and one on full display at a conservative conference in new hampshire this weekend, and home of the first presidential primary of course. and this is how buzz feed's

editor characterized it. just looking at how a sign of just how marginalized the religious right has become within the republican party, not one of the great right representatives from the freedom summit an event sponsored by citizens unite and the k koch-funded organization. so joining us are margie omero and robert traynham. and so what is shy neness to toe the word abortion, ted cruz shyed away from it, and what do you make of it? >> well, it is the republican party and the leadership of the republican party realizing that in order to grow the party, look, you have already the conservatives and preaching to the the choir, and to grow the party, you have to speak to the libertarians which is growing as

unbelievable number and especially the people under 30, which rand paul speaks to and conservatives like me, and gay marriage and abortions and though you have opinions about it, it is not relative in the public square as it relates to the people that are important to people's lives like taxes and the affordable health care acts, and i'm a gay american, and i'm out, and everybody knows about my personal life, and older conservative conservatives say, this is not who the party is and what we represent, and there are a lot of people in the party that speak about gay marriage, and so forth, but it is not the future of the party. so what you are seeing is that it is a reality check within the republican leadership if we want to be relative in people's lives, we have to change how we believe and how we say it. >> in is how rand paul said it in ways to expand the brand of the republican party. >> if you want to be consistent, and if you want to grow the movement, we cannot be the party of fat cats, rich people and wall street. >> the reason that we should

support growth most fundamentally is that it is foundational to opportunity. the opportunity of everyone to achieve the american dream. i think that every republican should have two words tattooed on their hands, growth and opportunity. >> clearly, maggie, they are trying to put it in the context of the economy. that is where they want to put the focus now. as somebody who is a pollster on the democratic side, do you look at this, and say, maybe they are figuring out a message that can appeal to more moderate or independent voters? >> well, look, for every moderate sounding message from rand paul and ted cruz, you will have all of the republicans in the house who at the same time are voting to cut millions from food for hungry children. they are not actually having the policies to back up this more centrist moderate rebranding thing that they say they have, and they say they that they

need, and they are not backing it up with any policy. and meanwhile, jeb bush who has been trying to use the moderate centrist language and his name drew boos. so there is a long way to go before you will see the republicans really truly accommodating the leaders who are going to have a more centrist language. and nobody gets out of the primary without having to address some of the hot button issues from very far to the right. >> and it is one that you talked about the donald trump and jeb bush moments that was one of the most talked about of the weekend. so i will play it since you brought it up. >> i heard jeb bush the other day, and he was talking about people that come into this the kun tri illegally, and they do it for love. i said, say it again. that is one i have never heard of before. i have heard, money, this, sex, and everything, but one thing i never heard of was love. i understand what he is saying,

b but, you know, it is out there. >> and robert, jeb bush has taken so much heat for the comments, and that i have not let up on him, and is there a conservative movement to get rid of jeb bush before he jumps into the race? >> absolutely not. and talk about the facts for a moment. jeb bush is a conservative, and obviously someone that conservatives know and love as the governor of florida for two terms. his record speaks for itself, and what we also know is that governor bush is interracial or intercultural marriage, and obviously with his wife, and he also has a plended fam -- blended family with the children, and governor of florida and one of the most diverse states as it relates to latinos and so with all due respect, we are speaking about someone who is a proven cop ser vative, and the boots on the ground and experience when it comes to immigration.
