taken over a police station. >> we know who was behind this, the only entity capable of these military actions is russia. >> did anybody say freedom died tonight. >> i'm beginning to think there's more freedom in north korea sometimes then there is in the united states. >> freedom died tonight. how many times can freedom die in america? >> this week marks a grim anniversary for the city of boston. one year since two bombs went off at the finish line of the boston marathon. >> there's so much more meaning and emotion on all sides, the runners and spectators and people of boston, we're really all in it together this year. >> today news of what could be a hate crime multiple murder is shaking kansas city to the core. police are investigating a shooting spree that killed three people in the heart of a jewish community there.

they held a news conference just moments ago. >> we have arrested frazier glenn cross junior a 73-year-old white male from arour ra, missouri and also goes by the alias of glenn phrase e frazier. this was a hate crime. yesterday it became fairly apparent that it was probably a hate crime but as we told you yesterday, we needed the verification of some investigation to make this determination, it's more than just an opinion. it's actually a legal status. >> legal status of hate crime. alleged gunman is 73-year-old frazier glenn cross, a former ku klux klan leader with a history of anti-semitic and racist activities. cross did an interview in 2005,

listen. >> we're fed up and we're going to take our country back. white people are third class citizens now. >> the 73-year-old has been on the watch list for groups monitoring hate crimes. >> frazier glenn miller was involved in a number of different groups, neo-nazi and klan groups over the years but for years he's essentially been operating as a kind of lone operator. he's an incredibly violent, scary, former klansman and neo-nazi. >> victims include dr. william lewis corporon and his 14-year-old grandson, an eagle scout. police just oitded terry lamano. described as a loving mother and wife. cross shot and killed a woman outside of a retirement community a few blocks away. i'm joined by nbc's justice correspondent pete williams. what new information did we learn from the news conference that just closed?

>> both the state and federal authorities will pursue charges here. the state has already filed charges of premeditated first degree murder and now we know the federal government will file charges of its own. everybody is calling these hate crimes of something of a misnomer. they charge him under federal civil rights law and people tend to think of hate crimes as the shepherd bird act which was recently passed by congress. but there are longstanding civil rights laws that provide the death penalty if death results from someone who tries to interfere with people either carrying out federally protected rights and going to church would be one of those or people trying to exercise religious freedom. the federal government has charges at its disposal. so does the state. they will both proceed and go through their grand jury process and prepare the charges. then at some point they'll have to decide who goes first here. there are great interests on both parts. the state -- it's state residents who were killed and people in the community.

there's a great interest in pursuing community justice. on the other hand the federal government has interests here as well, obvious ones involving people who are trying to hate and act out. >> president obama spoke about this incident at the prayer breakfast this morning. >> today as passover begins, we're seeing a number of synagogues and jewish community centers take added security precautions. nobody should have to worry about their security when gathering with their fellow believers. >> nobody should have to worry about security on a day like this, the timing of passoverparticularly devastating. what are we hearing about security at synagogues around the nation. >> it's more a responsibility of local police, not so much the fbi. but they do this regularly, in new york city, for example, they tend to do this around the

religious holidays anyway, but because of this shooting they are taking extra steps and extra police presence in large cities, new york, los angeles, where there are substantial religious communities that will be gathering for the passover holiday. it's something they've had to do before and they think that's the right course this time. >> all right, pete williams, appreciate that overview. >> you bet. >> i want to bring in alan d ders dershowitz, you actually defended some people with some of these anti-semitic viewpoints. tell us how you balance first amendment rights and need to protect people from these dangerous bigots? >> everybody in the america has the right to believe or ee spouse whatever racial views as long as they don't act on them and i've represented people with neo-nazi orientation and wanted to march or express anti-semitic views. when they turn into actions of

this kind, it's murder and it's no accident it's around passover. there's a 2,000 year history of jus bei jews being attacked on passover. if you tune into palestinian authority television, you'll hear complaints against barack obama holding sader, don't you know jews use muslim blood or christian blood. it all surrounds the passover easter holiday. historically the worst ant anti-semitic offenses take place at this time of the year. >> protecting rights and protecting people from crimes. this individual had a big history that may have been should have a red flag. ace former kkk leader and been on hate watch lists and has a history of anti-sem mettism but wasn't charged for these crimes and been at large.

take a listen to what he had to say. >> hiel hitler. >> this is dramatic stuff, should authorities have seen warning signs beforehand and taken some action in this case? you see the warning signs but it's hard to take action. i wrote a book called "finding jefferson", he spoke to this issue, there were preachers preaching hate and inciting people to commit crimes. no, you wait until it goes beyond preaching and until it becomes either incite. on activity itself. other countries move in quickly and arrest people for blasphemy. we allow you to speak and allow you to think and belong to organizations, even use the internet, but the line is at violence or conspiracy or

preparing to engage in acts of violence, unfortunately, that first amendment exacted a price today and three innocent lives. that's the price tragically that americans have to pay for balancing a first amendment right against the right to be safe and secure against racists. >> and it really is the legacy of the first amendment, at the heart of the american dream and ideals but does have a human consequence. >> but free speech is not free. it's very expensive. when we were kids we learned sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never harm you. that's a lie. names hurt. we shouldn't be tolerating them in society but the law under our constitution can't move against people simply for expressing views. this guy is different. he not only expressed hateful views, but he was engaged in violence previously and he also -- >> there's a gun control issue here, should hate crime list be cross sectioned with a list for

guns? >> we have the first amendment and second amendment and right to be safe and secure in one's home. you would think with a person who has threatened to use violence against minorities should be scrutinized very carefully before he's allowed to have a gun. there's lgs the question whether somebody like this is mentally ill. we don't know the answer to this. you don't have to be mentally ill to be a racist. the other problem is the internet. it's a great thing -- >> but you go on the internet, read new york city, a mile from here on the upper west side there's a vir you lent anti-semite who runs reporter's notebook and you can read all of this stuff and they praise hitler and fair ra con was one of this guy's heroes, here you have a problem with the extreme left and extreme right have only one thing in common, they hate

jews. the extreme left preaches this bigotry as well, people within hamas and hezbollah and the victims happen not to be jewish. >> it all comes back to anti-sem itism over and over again. let's talk about trends, it's alive and well even in the last places you would expect it, but the anti-defamation found there was a decline and calculated 19%. we take that with a grain, hard to calculate these things, do you buy that anecdotaanecdotall? >> i think top down has disappeared in america. i graduated yale law school first in my class, i couldn't get a job in a wall street firm because i was jewish or couldn't move into certain neighborhoods, that's all gone. everything is open to jews and hopefully open to women and blacks and minority. >> you were among the trail blazer and it was hard for people to break down that

different glass ceiling. we think powerful law firms and often think jews. >> why do you think it started? because they couldn't get jobs in sullivan and krom well. today they have as the chief lawyer unorthodox jew today. extreme islamic anti-semitism has gotten much worse. i just came back from paris where jews are terrified to be attacked on the street mostly by radical islams who say jews use muslim blood. all of the stuff contributed to an atmosphere. >> it seems to be a powder keg of an issue, in france particularly. here at home you've called it a disease of the soul. do you think this is something that can be cured when you have an older individual like this who is set in their ways, is that person beyond

rehabilitation? >> the best cure for anti-semitism is jew. you read about they do this and have horns. my wife grew up in charleston, south carolina and went to high school, one of the students inspected her to see if she really had horns. then -- >> that is amazing. >> you meet people and gays and blacks, the answer to bigotry is knowing the people you're bigoted against then you'll find some you don't like, many of them you'll like. i'll belt you this guy was never friendly with a single jew, for him it was an abstraction, we have to fight it in the schools and media, not through censorship but through promoting truth and alternatives. >> that is an important message at a time when there's so much anger and tragedy we're looking at. thank you so much. >> my pleasure, thank you. up next, we turn to equally troubling international news. this weekend ukraine's government threatened to force

pro-russian pro testers out of its major cities but what happened when the clock finally hit zero? up next. well it's official...

days, we have jim miklaszewski in the pentagon and here in the studio richard engel. mik, let's start with you and get an update. what kind of reaction is the so-called fly by getting? >> nobody is overreacting they call it provocative and unprofessional when the russian fighter jet circled and buzzed the u.s. destroyer donald cook in international waters in the black sea on saturday. that su-24, russian war plane made a dozen passes, some at sea level others as high as several thousand feet. during that encounter, those aboard the donald cook attempted several times to contact that russian pilot to figure out his intentions and issue warnings to keep at a distance, but the russians never replied. now, i must point out here that

the crew aboard the donald cook did discover that the su-25 was not armed with bombs or missiles. so some people here are looking at sort of raising the flag after all when the u.s. warship went to the black sea, it was raising the flag to show support for not only ukraine but other baltic states and send a message to the russians, it appears that the russians were sending a message back as well. there was no -- there were no incidents beyond the fly by itself. and i've got to tell you, it looks like you show me your flag, i'll show you mine. that's the way it looks right now. nobody is overreacting to this situation there in the black sea. >> we have to all hope it stays without overreactions. as i mentioned, there are rumors that the cia director has been in ukraine for the past few days, they are denying the idea that he is there to outline military strategies or support

potential military actions on ukraine's part. why do you think john brennan is there if not to support the ukrainian military? >> first of all, he's the head of u.s. intelligence, not the military. who knows? nobody is saying exactly why he's there but it might be to get a good read on the thinking of the ukrainians themselves not only in terms of what the russians may be thinking there in ukraine but what are the ukrainians planning. and if the ukrainians are looking for any kind of possible intel support. that's always likely but nobody is saying exactly why he's there. now, of course, russian media picked that up and pointed to several cia directed coups against foreign countries in the past. but the cia while they are not saying that brennan is there or why he may be there, they are saying that, look, he stands firm in the idea that there

should be a diplomatic resolution to the conflict now between the russians and the ukrainians, not a military one. >> obviously that's what everyone seems to be hoping for. thank you for that update. >> today's events in the black sea come as ukraine's president pleaded for united nations peace keepers to help maintain what scant law and order is left and request all follows his promise of an anti-terror crackdown in response to pro-russian protesters ignoring his deadline to exit government buildings instead went and seized another building. this time the police headquarters. last night an emergency session was held where u.s. ambassador samantha power pointed the finger directly at russia. >> we know who is behind this, indeed the only entity in the

area capable of these coordinated professional military actions is russia. the sin kronized seizure of building s occurred in towns along the main highway followed by armed road blocks as if a bafier was being formed between kiev and major eastern cities. >> this is the direct east/west finger pointing some say since the cold war. to discuss all this and more we have a rare in studio appearance by richard engel. thanks for joining us. >> first time i've been on your live, in person. >> you filed updates from all sorts of dangerous locations, i'm glad you're here and safe. >> my pleasure. >> let's start off with the rumor brennan is there. we don't know exactly rwhy. do you think that meshes with the para dime with cia backed coup attempts. >> it fits into their scenario

perfectly, it says the revolution that happened in ukrainian was run by the cia and yanukovych, the pro-moscow thrown from power was thrown out by the cia. they say, russia says -- >> any basis for that? >> not as far as i know. somebody was paying for protesters down in the square. i don't know who it was. so maybe, maybe they had some support from intelligence but i haven't seen direct compelling evidence that says it was backed by the cia. i would like to hear what russia says it has for evidence but i haven't seen any of it. >> it is an interesting dynamic that protesters are bought and sold here on both sides of this conflict. >> what you've seen -- and i've seen these pro russian militia men taking over towns and police stations and air strips in eastern ukraine, the same thing they did in crimea. we've seen this scenario before.

you see russian-pro-russian sympathizer and some are ukrainians who are sympathetic to russia and others are bought, rent a mob. they take over. now the ukrainians are in a very difficult position. russia is saying you're a bunch of cia stooges while the cia director may or may not be in the capital. if they decide, if ukraine decides to attack any of these militiamen and they get killed, russia will say we have to intervene to restore order and send in peace keepers and some of our troops over the border and effectively take over a large part of ukraine. >> they are setting this up. >> look what happened. over the last few days, you've had militias in uniform always in masks, some of them probably russian soldiers and some russian sympathizers, taking over buildings. the government in kiev says, we're going to give you a

deadline. if these people aren't out we're going to go and kick them out by force. then the government doesn't do anything. >> does that make the latest threat of a crackdown somewhat toothless? >> he has trouble. the government in ukraine has trouble. if he goes and cracks down and some of these russian soldiers or pro-russia militiamen start dying, you could see an invasion. if you do nothing, you lose your territory. if you do something, you could lose all of your territory. >> so clearly a lose/lose situation. we did just get -- that brennan was in kiev. do you think it's becoming increasingly more difficult for president obama to take a hands on approach. >> his approach so far has been

interesting. we'll put sanctions but no military intervention, putting out a limitation on this. and the threat of sanctions is a real threat. if russia invades, and takes over, using whatever pretext you want, but some of the 40,000 troops on the border now cross over, then russia could face iran style sanctions, which would be very painful for russia. >> and president obama has threatened. >> it would send the eu back into crisis and have an enormous global impact beyond just losing the sliver -- this half of ukraine, it would send the russian economy into recession and probably drag down the european economy, which are starting it seems to do a little bit better. this has global implications. watch these protesters who are now in police stations in ukraine. if they start dying or being killed and the russian troops cross over, we have a global crisis that president obama

could not ignore. >> a lot at stake here and made those bigger threats and that would have effects for the entire world. thank you so much, sir. >> good to be here. >> to be continued but in the meantime, just ahead on rfdaily, republican presidential hopefuls are gathering in the granite state for an maimaginary primar. what does it mean for 2016? straight ahead. cars are driven by people. they'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. but when we put something in the ground,

without dumpster diving or without stealing. people in this situation are in a growing number of so-called food deserts, places with limited access to affordable healthy food. many in those food deserts don't even know it. so for our call to action this week, we want to find out how this challenge looks in your community. we're asking a simple question. are you closer to fresh food or fast food? let us know on twitter at ronan daily or facebook or e-mail. we're going to be looking at different angles on this and different responses we get from you every single day. and today one solution many are looking to, so-called urban farms. joining us to talk about this is an urban farmer from milwaukee who happens to be a retired nba player and will allen, ceo of growing power and author of "the

good food revolution." thank you, you're joining me there from your farm, planting fruits and vegetables isn't something we associate with living in a city. why did you come to create an urban farm there in milwaukee? >> well, it's great to be on your show today and to be sitting here at the farm where we work every day to make sure our community is more food secure, of course, we're in a food desert, we're actually located in an area that's about four miles from any retail full service grocery store, east, west, north or south with aim very dense population of folks. five blocks away is a largest public housing project here in milwaukee. and i came here in 1993. so we've been building this farm since 1993 and now we have 25 farms in the milwaukee metro

area. at this particular farm it's a three acre farm that provides food for 12,000 people -- >> how has that changed the community? >> it's enhanced the community because we've been able to give access to folks healthy good food. because they were eating pretty much food that was gleaned from corner stores and fast food places in the neighbor. but now they have access to healthy food for the last 21 years, we're in our 21st year of operation here. >> how can urban farms help people who can't find access to any food, let alone find land to start a farm in the city? >> part of what we do is also educate the community about eating good food. a lot of egs specially young people don't have information about what to eat so part of our

program really is to educate those young people and educate the entire community about what they should be eating because food is the most important thing in our lives and it really dictates how long we're going to live. if we eat bad food, we're not going -- our life expectancy is shorter than if we're eating good food. and obesity rates in this city and obesity rates in many inner city areas around the country are very high. part of it really is changing the dynamics of these communities by providing healthy and good food. >> that is something we've seen all around the country, high sky rates of health problems. how can viewers who are in areas like this seeing the health problems contribute to generating more food in cities? >> well, we need everybody at the table. i call it the good food revolution table. and not only in the old days it was trusty old farmers like myself and academics studying

the food system but we need everybody in the community, from politicos to corporate companies to citizens and farmers and young people that want to get involved in agriculture and one of the best ways to do that is to do urban farming. a lot of the land is cheap. it's a great starting point versus going out into the rural community and fact is most people today around the world live inside cities or close to cities. we're going to have to be able to grow food closer to where people live and take out the travel expense of shipping food for more than 1500 miles. as a matter of fact, here in milwaukee, 99% of the food still is coming from over 1500 miles away. so we need to change that to a more local and regional food system and be able to get healthy food into our school system and even in our day cares, last year we put in 50 day care gardens. >> thank you so much, mr. allen for doing your part and thank

you to everybody who is already passionately weighing in. our call to action, tell us if you live closer to fast food or fresh food? up ahead on "ronan farrow daily" live free or die trying? top republicans are testing their newest lines in new hampshire, up next. if i can impart one lesson to a new business owner, it would be one thing i've learned is my philosophy is real simple american express open forum is an on-line community, that helps our members connect and share ideas to make smart business decisions.

[ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care

>> scott brown, for instance. >> scott brown is from neighboring massachusetts and they have this very flattering nickname is new hampshire for people across the border in massachusetts. >> nobody knows. >> but i think the person to watch in new hampshire right now is rand paul. i think that was very visible at this summit. there were people standing in the back waiting to watch him speak. he did a tour of the state and several fundraisers and pretty well attended. he has an organization that's leftover from when his father ran for president. taking over party infrastructure, did a little bit of it in iowa today. his libertarian message resonates in this live free or die state in the way that aan evangelical might not as much. >> let's talk about another candidate that was absent, jeb bush. >> he hasn't been going to these events in general, the press will follow what he says and does. i take him at his word, he's

i've heard sex. i've heard everything. the one thing i never heard of was love. i understand what he is saying. but, you know, it's out there. >> the one thing never heard of is love. when former governor bush made those comments, we labelled him hero for having the courage for his convictions. we give donald trump the opposite for speaking out against a fellow republican who spoke his mind. back with our panel to react. what's the reaction been? you were out there. how is the republican party rolling with those particular comments from trump? >> trump knows how to stir up a little -- >> doesn't he, though? >> storm, as you will. i think it highlighted what jeb bush's issues are going to be with the base of the party. the immigration approach is one. it's something that has drawn a lot of opposition from the base. rand paul was asked over the weekend to weigh in on that. he defended bush, but not particularly aggressively. the other thing i would say about jeb bush is that the

biggest applause line at the summit over the weekend was about common core. they want to repeal the common core curriculum, and that's go that jeb bush has really stepped out on and is another thing that's going to get him in trouble with the base if he decides to run. >> so these are things that make him more of a moderately appealing candidate but could signal disaster with the hard liners. what do you think? is this preview of the blowback he will get from the far right? zoo know, it's so interesting if you compare jeb bush to marco rubio. marco rubio and jeb bush agree on much of the policy issues, but marco rubio has stepped back in the face of this incredibly strong opposition from the base, whereas jeb bush is just saying, look, this is who i am. take it or leave it. i think it's going to be interesting to see how he does. if he does manage to do well in the primaries despite having that resistance, it's going to be pretty impressive. >> all right. well, he is up against a lot, and i think regardless of your party politics, we all like candor and directness, and that seems to be what he is showing. thank you for your own candor and directness. we'll have you back for more of that. that was fun. for now that wraps things up for today's edition of "ronan farrow

daily." you can catch me here 1:00 p.m. eastern time tomorrow. now joy reid. it's a delight to see you. >> we're going to pick up on a little bit of the stuff you were talking about there. a great discussion so far. coming up on "the reid report" the justice department is now stepping into the investigation into that shooting in kansas that left three people dead, including a grandfather and his grandson. the suspect has long been on the radar of an organization that investigates hate groups. then republicans are launching a new outreach to women today, but they're still targeting issues and taking away rights important to women and minority voters. stick with us.

[ both laugh ] happy monday, reiders.

i'm joy reid on "the reid report." racist killers are hiding among us in plain sight. that's a quote from the southern poverty law center on frazier glen cross, the lone suspect in a kansas shooting that left three people dead and less than 909 minutes ago the overland park police chief announced that the shootings are now officially being considered a hate crime. >> we have unquestionably determined through the work of local and federal law enforcement agencies that this was a hate crime. >> we'll have more on the story of the former klansman and the three people he is accused of killing. later, more violence today in ukraine and fears it may lead to another attempted amnexation by russia. jeb bush son of one president, brother of another, but is he conservative enough for his own party to nominate? we'll take a deep dive into the state of the republican rebrand? first, we turn to the latest out of kansas where a midwestern jewish community is in mourning on this passover eve.

after a man with a long history of anti-semitism allegedly opened fire at two separate jewish centers in overland park, a suburb of kansas city, killing three people. the first two victims, a doctor, 69-year-old william lewis coccoran, and his 14-year-old grandson rett griffin underwood, were gunned down in the parking lot of the jewish community center of greater kansas city. both were actually members of a nearby methodist church. police have also identified the third victim, a woman, who was shot down not long afterward in a parking lot at a senior living community about a mile away. 53-year-old terry lamano was visiting her mom at the living center, something is he had done every sunday for quite some time. the mother and daughter of coccoran and underwood spoke to a stunned community who gathered at a vigil last night.
