event, and the president always does present this award. football fans everywhere, as well as the army or navy side. had a great conversation on this with colonel jab jacobs later today, and he is rooting for army. the president hand begun. >> does this get old? >> never. >> no. okay. >> it's good to see the coach again. i want to recognize vice admiral mike miller for service to the academy and to our country. this is the second time these seniors have come here to claim the commander in chief's trophy. i am pretty sure you would agree that this was one of the best

teams yet. first of all, you had incredible talent. senior captain cody peterson and d.j.sargenti led the defense. i hear that they're known in the locker room as the meat heads. on a football team, though, that's high praise. this year quarterback keenan reynolds had one of the best seasons in school history. his 31 rushing touchdowns weren't just an academy record. they were a division one record for a quarterback. he is one of only a handful of players in division one history to rush for 30 or more touchdowns in a single season. i think it's fair to say that if you are on a list with barry sanders, you're doing pretty fwood. so this team had the leadership. it had the tools, but this is a team that also had a mac for getting the job done under some

pretty tough circumstances. when the government was forced to shut down, you didn't even know if the game against air force was going to happen. luckily secretary of defense stepped in, gave the green light, which tells me how important it was because secretary hagel has a few things on his plate, but he personally intervened on this one. a few weeks later you beat san jose state in triple overtime with keenan scoring seven rushing touchdowns. the most ever by a division one quarterback in a single game. you kept on rolling through the games that really mattered. in the snow you beat army for the 12th year in a row. they're starting to feel bad about this. locking up commander in chief's trophy for the ninth time in 11 yoerz. you went on to beat middle tennessee state to win your first bowl game since 2009. overall this was a pretty good year on the gridiron. what's more impressive is the fact that for these outstanding

young men, football isn't even the main thing. when these guys sign up, when you sign up to play at annapolis, you know you're in for a different experience. typical day starts at 6:00 a.m., in the training room. breakfast is at 7:00. after that it's class, lunch, and football meetings. then more class, football practice, dinner. free time starts at 8:00, which most players use to study until midnight, and when students at other colleges are enjoying summer vacation, these guys are busy with military training and summer school and offseason workouts. so yes, it's about learning to be a good football player, but more importantly, it's about learning how to be a good leader. and to be a good man. that's what these outstanding americans are and will continue to be. next month 14 of these guys are

going to be commissioned in the navy. another eight will become second lieutenants in the marine corps. senior captain matt aiken will serve on a ship, and wave ryder -- by the way, if your name is wave ryder, then you got to be in the navy. will suit up as a naval aviator. that's their commitment to service. that's the commitment to country and to each other that sets this team apart. today that commitment is as strong as ever. last month i know that all of us were mourning the loss of will mccainy. two busloads of classmates and teammates made the eight-hour trip to knoxville to attend his funeral, as did coach ken. i understand your motto for this season is "i will" in memory of him. that's what camaraderie is all about.

honor, courage, commitment. that's what makes the midshipmen so strong, and that's why i'm so proud to serve as your commander in chief. not only, in fact, not primarily because of what you have done on the football field, but because of your dedication to each other and your service to america. so today it is my privilege to present you with a trophy that weighs about as much as i do. congratulations, guys. once again. [ applause ] >> mr. president, it's always a great honor, and we're deeply humbled as a team to be here today to be your guests. you're coming out of the marine corps general james amos told our football team the night before the army-navy football team that our country needs men of character, and behind you there are p 5 young men of great contact. as you mentioned, 22 of them will serve you in yut fleet.

and may the lord continue to bless you, our young men, and all those that serve our country, the greatest country in the world. thank you again for having us. >> all right. president obama awarding the trophy to navy. you are seeing the president also wrapped in a little bit of education and service and character into his introduction. all right. police are holding a press conference to update the arrest of a suspect in a string of highway shooting that have been terrorizing residents for weeks. later in the day, thursday, dozens of officers and tactical gear descended on the suspect's home, which is located near seven of the more than one dozen shootings under investigation. undercover officers had reportedly been tracking the men since last week. kansas city's police captain says there was no single smoking gun that led to the arrest.

instead he credited the investigator's tireless work, interviewing witnesses and combing ditches for shell casings. joining me now is jim cavanaugh, atf special agent who has worked in kansas city, so, jim, what can you tell us about the kind of investigation that would be done to try to catch these kinds of shooters and what might the motive be? >> we shoulding the motive is going to be unclear right now. maybe the chief will uncover that for us, joy, in the press conference. i think the way they did it, though, is textbook. that's a great police force in kansas city, missouri, by the way. they're just really a top notch outfit. what he did earlier -- what the chief did early and what's so important is he called in, you know, the fbi, the atf, and probably the missouri state troopers, which has a great unit as well, and they all got in there and worked a giant command post to run those leads. then they enlisted public support. they were getting the tips. no doubt neighbors, friends, relatives, somebody saw some odd behavior, gave them a tip where they could put this guy under surveillance.

you know, this had is a case that will probably be made through some firearms identification, of the bullets matching gun if they could find it at his house or in his vehicle, and maybe some cameras seen along the highway. >> when people heard about the story, the first thing is they think of the d.c. sniper case, and they're uncommon kinds of incidents, right, and is there a concern about copycat incidents or this being more than one person? >> well, it could be more than one, but i think they're pretty certain that they have at least 12 or 13 related shootings to the suspect shooter. i wouldn't be too worried about copycats. right now it's -- these people get caught. the d.c. snipers, we caught the d.c. snipers. the ohio sniper. all these guys get caught. this guy is another example of getting caught. this is not something really, you know, it's a very good criminal chance of getting away with. you are going to get caught. that's the best message to send around the country. >> jim cavanaugh, thanks very

much. now to the latest on the south korea ferry disaster. 28 people are dead. hundreds are missing. many from one high school near seoul. now officials are seeking the arrest of the ship's captain after reports surfaced that he abandoned ship shortly after the ferry began to sink. officials are seeking an additional arrest warrant for a junior officer who was reportedly steering the vessel when the disaster started. families of the victims got yet another shock today after a vice principal from the high school where nearly three-quarters of the passengers on the ferry were either students or teachers was found hanged outside a large gym near where families of the victims were staying. now those searching for victims of the ferry disaster are battling not just a completely sunken ship, but strong tides and murky waters and not to mention angry family members. nbc's duncan is here with the latest. >> so tell us a little about the pilot and the crew duncan. what do we know about how they

reacteded once the ferry started sinking. >> senior prosecutors are saying that the captain was not at the helm as the ship passed through an area of clustered islands. something they say is required by law so the captain can help make a turn. there are questions about how long it took for the order to evacuate ship and whether that could have saved more lives. the captain has so far only made a brief appearance in front of cameras with his face hidden. he apologized and spoke of his deep shame. the ferry made a sharp turn, and investigators are focussing on whether that could have caused the vessel to list. perhaps the turn dislodged heavy cargo which then caused it to become destabilized. meanwhile, as you say, the search and rescue effort has been made even tougher by strong currents and rain. the coast guard said divers have been pumping oxygen into the ship in case there were any

survivors, but it is looking increasingly unlikely. family members on shore know that. they are grieving and angry wanting to know how this could have happened. most of the missing passengers were students. their vice principal who was rescued from the ferry and survived was today found hanging from a tree on jindu island. so yet more sadness coming from this tragedy. very few answers coming out. back to you. >> all right. nbc's duncan, thank you very much. coming up, the bundy ranch standoff is still getting lots of buzz, and now we're seeing reports there could be copycats out there looking for standoffs with the feds of their own. be right back. ah woke up today and i said i need something sportier. annnd done. ok maxwell, just need to ah contact your insurance company with the vin number. oh, i just did it. with my geico app. vin # is up to the loaded. ok well then jerry here will take you through all of the features then. why don't weeeeeeeeeeee go out to the car.

we are volvo of sweden.

>> the most powerful democratic in congress has officially stepped way over the line when it comes to his rhetoric about rancher cliven bundy and his standoff with the federal government. >> to hear some on the right tell it, in approximate the ongoing controversy over a nevada rancher turned conservative celebrity, it was harry reid who stepped over the line on thursday. not rancher cliven bundy who let his cattle illegally graze on federal lands and who has refused to pay $1 million in back fees and has attracted a dangerous armed faction to his cause, and who, unlike harry reid, promotes a radical reading of the constitution that essentially elevates one man over the federal government itself. it's the senate majority leader who stepped way over the line for saying this. they're nothing more than dpesic terrorists, and i think we are a country that people should follow the law.

>> now, can you certainly argue whether the senate majority leader, or all of us really, should show restraint when dropping the t-word. nevertheless, when it comes to stepping way over the line, anybody attracting the sort of people who think it's okay to put women and children in front of a potential firefight has harry reid beat hands down. david corn is washington bureau chief for mother jones. let's start with you, david. was harry reid out of line to compare the militias who have been drawn to clive bundy's cause domestic terrorists? >> when you look at those shots and they're taking positions up on overpasses and targeting fellow americans with all sorts of weapons, i mean, i think harry reid can certainly justify what he said. politically was it the smartest thing to say? i don't know. it's going to create this

reaction and give fuel to this silly fire on the right, but, i mean, the people out there who are celebrating this guy who doesn't even recognize the federal government it's far beyond grazing. it all reminds me of what happened in the 1990s with the militia movement and people like g. gordon liddy and wayne la pierre of the nra talking about jack booted thugs. where did we end up? we ended up with oklahoma city bombing. to encourage folks taking the law into their own hands, to me that is enl couraging something that is at least close to domestic terrorism. >> you have familiarity with these kinds of groups. you investigated, you know, sort of situations i guess that you could say that align with the kind of dangers that are afoot out there. was the senate majority leader out of line by using the words

domestic terrorism in relationship to what's happening in nevada? >> no. he is not out of line. in fact, that's the way that groups that advocate insurrection and armed insurrection and anarchy are classified in the federal government system really. if you are armed and against the united states government, you fall under a lot of the programs of domestic terrorism that are enforced that way. no, he is not out of line. harry reid is a patriot. he served the country, and the second thing he said is that you should follow the rule of law. that is the most important thing as david pointed out as well. this is bigger than the cattle on the bundy ranch, joye. david understands this. this is really about obstruction of justice. what you have is armed militia men, armed sovereign citizens traveling across state lines to obstruct the federal courts and to obstruct the enforcement of the law. those are federal crimes to do

that. it's clear on the books that obstruction of justice is a felony. it's also a felony to transport firearms across state lines with the intent to xhet a felony. for example, obstructing justice or obstructing federal court orders. we have a different issue here. carol is really is not so important. i think the blm did a good job standing down. that was the right thing. i would leave those people alone and let the nevada desert and the summer sun take care of them. i wouldn't move on them right there. the government needs to have a more cool-headed strategy. i'm a negotiator, joy, and i'll do everything easy to start with. >> yeah. no, i totally understand that. you know, given all that we just heard from james, david, i want to -- it's interesting. you're seeing this really take off on right-wing media. you are seeing kind of a dichotomy between the republicans, a sort of standard issue republicans that are getting involved and those that are staying out. i want to show you how you can sort of wrap that dichotomy up in one family? i want to play you fist ron paul. congressman ron paul, and then

his son rand paul addressing the standoff, and get your reaction on the other side. >> when people do get together and stand up, i think the governments will be forced back down. the government says don't give up their power easily, and they may well come back with a lot more force, like they did at waco, with the davidians. >> is there any reason to call americans domestic terrorists? >> no, i think what we should all be calling for is for calmer heads to prevail. i don't want to see violence on either side. >> rand paul is interesting in

that he has played footsy with fringe groups, much like his father has, but being more ambitious or maybe more realistic or more savvy than his father. he sort of has figured out how not to go over the line too far. he has appeared with militia groups and sovereignty groups and it's, you know, tea party rallies and other places when he was campaigning. he has made sure not to get a backlash of sources, whether they are in the republican party or outside of it. he mraez a much more clever game. the tea party movement has helped them. , and i think they're kind of taking a wait and see attitude here.

it's going to be difficult if this becomes a more right wing cause for the base for some of the republicans to stand off or have a standoffish position. charges have been filed against mohammed whitaker. whitaker faces 18 felony counts from nine separate incidents. police say they do not have information on a motive at this time. uhhh. no, that can't happen. that's the thing, you don't know how long it has to last. everyone has retirement questions. so ameriprise created the exclusive.. confident retirement approach. now you and your ameripise advisor can get the real answers you need.

well, knowing gives you confidence. start building your confident retirement today. while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. thischance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death.

patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. i don't always have timeh to eat like i should.. that's why i like glucerna shakes.

they have slowly digestible carbs to help minimize blood sugar spikes. [male announcer] glucerna... >> it's time for we the tweeple and the stories you can't stop buzzing about on social media. >> the death of gabrielle marquez weighs heavily on your minds. the 1982 nobel laureate is being

remembered as a legend whose realism genre elevated the status of latin american literature. you remember his best known work, the novel 100 years of sole tud. you're also affirming how his adviser will always inspire us. when you are a legend like gabriel marquez, your work lives on for you in your absence. he died thursday in mexico city. he was 87. now from mexico city to the south carolina town of lada where crystal moore, a 20-year veteran of the police force, alleges she was fired for being gay. she was police chief for two years. many of you can't stop talking about how the town has rallied to her side. while the mayor claims this was a performance issue, many wonder if it was actually a vendetta. an anti-gay statements leaked to the press bullard has been recorded saying i would much rather have -- and i will say

this to anybody's face -- somebody who drank too much, drank too much, taking care of my child than i had somebody whose lifestyle is questionable around children." now, the town is considering stripping the mayor of some of his powers. we will keep you posted. from bad blood to good friday. good friday is trending on twitter big-time today. with many of you focussing on easter spirit of renewal. sending tweets like this one. today is a good day to let some things go and move forward in the new. plus, you're enjoying the viral pics of peeps. you are really loving the winning entry. this black and white peep recreation of the march on washington created entirely of marshmallow bunny rabbits. it's painted in shades of black, white, and gray. super cute and historic. we hope your easter holiday is just as festive. join the conversation with fellow reiders on twitter, facebook, and instagram and tell us what's important to you. in honor of easter week, some of

but with so much health care noise, i didn't always watch out for myself. with unitedhealthcare, i get personalized information and rewards for addressing my health risks. but she's still gonna give me a heart attack.

that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. mark and i are very excited that we have our first child arriving later this year, and -- [ applause ] >> it only took about 53 seconds from the time chelsea clinton announced she's having a baby this fall for the speculation to begin. not about the baby's due date or whether it will be a boy or a girl, but about what impact the impending arrival of hillary clinton's first grand chil would have on her possible run for president in 2016? alexander burns wrote "on the one hand the arm chair thinking goes having a grandchild may make the iowa state fair less appealing place to spend summer of 2015." why beg donors for money at

dozens of event says a month when there's a happy baby to spend time with in new york. on the other hand, it could also heighten the pull of history. the sense she owes it to the daughters of future generations to walk the rest of the path toward becoming the most powerful woman in history. cnbc's andrew ross sorkin sitting in with the morning joe crew this morning posed this interesting question. >> can we talk about the human drama that is grandma clinton? >> who is stupid enough to think that -- the point is an entire country is going to watch a family have a child. you've seen this -- this is a human drama. people are going to get behind this. it's going to change the way people look at hillary clinton. >> oh, dear. ever since their only daughter got married four years ago there's only been the slightest bit of pressure from her proud parents. >> one title i know you seek to

have one of these days is grandmother. >> yes, you figured that out. >> i would like to be a grandfather. i would like to have a happy wife, and she won't be unless she's a grandmother, something she wants more than she wanted to be president. >> i want to say, mr. president, once again, you got the better of me and you beat me to being a grandfather. >> do you think the president will have another child? >> well, no, but i wouldn't mind -- i wouldn't mind one of those grandchildren that i hear so much about. >> so now that hillary clinton is getting the one thing that she's been hoping for, will she give up the other thing that many people think she wants? almost as many. >> president or grandmother?

>> if you ask her, i bet she would say grandmother, but i have found it best not to discuss that issue. >> and yet, hillary's family joy presents an even bigger question for democrats. if not hillary, then who? sometimes you steal the perfect gift for these. she knows hillary very well as searching as press secretary and later as a member of clinton's morning state -- new york senate campaign, and now she is the host of "disrupt" right here on msnbc. disrupt for me here, karen, finney. >> you know, this poor highland, she's pregnant. that's a joy. that's exciting. yet, it's turned into this -- i mean, to use the phrase the arm chair thinking about a pregnancy is a little ridiculous, but we knew that would happen. i'll tell you what, i think that president clinton is right. i think she wants to be a grandmother very, very, very badly. >> do you think she wants to be a grandmother more than she wants to be president? i know -- >> let's go there. let's play that fwam.

sometime ago president clinton made a very impressive statement saying at some point in your life you think how many years do you have behind you instead of ahead of you. that's where the question become. i think it's already a tough question. how do i want to spend my time. now how do i want to spend my time away from my grandchild. >> other thing is particularly for the clintons, they have this -- it's this relationship they have with the world where everything they do is picked apart, the minuta. hillary clinton has a book out right now. she has a book that's coming out called "hard choices. "owe her publisher announces the book. we know publishes make these nowsments, but there's already the conspiracy that maybe that baby announcement had something to do with the book. maybe -- i mean, the conspiracy theory is so intense. they can't even write a book without it being something conspiracy. >> some radio host thinks that maybe chelsea stage thissed whole thing just to help her mother in her reach for the presidency. i mean, it's insane. >> because that's a lie that can only last about nine months.

>> i think the one way to rule them ought when it comes to who could be president that's a democrat right now? >> that's right. >> crystal actually has a piece today that encapsulate this is. for democrats the idea of hillary not running kind of invites chaos, right? he gave three reasons. the top three reasons why it would be chaos if hillary decides not to run. number one, democrats who watch barack obama leapfrog them in 2008 won't want to miss their opportunity this time given how much our candidacy or at least her decision making about her candidacy has fanned the flames and will continue to -- will continue to freeze the field that would be a mad scramble for doneors, and he says there's no obvious frontrunner in a clintonless field. i would think the no obvious frontrunner would be the number one reason. >> i think that's absolutely -- in a serious note, we're going talk about it tomorrow. disrupt at 4:00 p.m. if it's not hillary, then who? i think part of the frenzy is that democrats haven't had to

ask themselves that question for any serious reason. what if she doesn't do it? >> right. you know what's sad about that. there's something out there called joe the biden. >> there is. >> joe the biden. he is there, man. >> yeah. >> is he there with his aviators ready to go. let's play joe biden actually answer this question about 2016 in an interview with cnn. >> there may be reasons i don't run, but there's no obvious reason for me why i think i should not run. >> can i have a timetable? >> probably the realistly a year this summer. >> what does it say about the democratic party that with a sitting vice president out there who is obviously interested in running, the democrats literally have one option on the table, and it's hillary. >> well, because everybody -- it's not good, right? what has happened is everybody has gotten so excited around the idea of hillary that there hasn't been a good conversation

about who some of the others might be. there are other democratic governors to consider. there are others that we know like cuomo and o'malley that are interested. >> schweitzer. >> it does make you feel bad for joe because it's, like, hey, over here. the vice president might want to run. >> you and i both know that for somebody else to get out there, they really have to be out there now making the case and gaining a national recognition. no one is doing that because they think she might run. >> that's right. i think that's part of why everybody is waiting with baited breath for her to at least say when she's going to decide because a lot of donors are already giving to some of those ready for hillary groups, but the question then, if you were going to run, you want to be able to go to those donors and say i need your support. right? that's part of the problem. >> how sad is it that the same thing that makes her so appealing, the yfd a woman president, is the same thing that makes her question her doing it while having a grandchild. being a woman in politics. have a you will have ae great discussion this weekend. do you want to give us a preview. >> we'll take a look at some of the top four gentlemen because it's all men on the democratic

side who are interested in running who we think are interested and who might get it, and we dough include biden. spoiler alert. we do include biden. >> thank you. joe the biden. karen finney, host of disrupt on msnbc. host of disrupt on msnbc, which is weekend saturdays and sundays at 4:00 p.m. a must watch. she will dig deeper into the hillary drama. next, turning back the clock, the forces behind the resegregation of schools in the south. that's next. 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.

today the sound of those now infamous words ringing out into the crisp alabama air are enough to send a shir down anyone's spine. while the thauft a democratic governor reading a declaration written by a ku klux klansman is indeed chilling. you would like to think we've come a long way since then. just five months after his inauguration address, george wallace tried to block two black students from entering the university of alabama, but he was forced to step aside and the university was desegregated. a little over a year later president lyndon johnson signed the civil rights act of 1964 into law. remember, it had been ten years since the supreme court's unanimous brown versus the board of education decision ruling separate but equal had no place in public education. so progress. okay. maybe not. in march of 1967 the state of alabama had to be ordered to desegregate after a federal agency concluded the state still had an official policy favoring racial segregation in public education.

fast forward to ach 1979 tuscaloosa as one of the 20 most segregated school systems in the u.s. a federal judge had to order the city segregated high schools and middle schools to merge. it took a few decades, and they didn't to it on their own, but desegregation was the law of the land. schools are integrated. we have progress, right? that brings us to today. in a resegregation of a crisis of separate unequal indication highlighted in this article and the short documentary profiling tuscaloosa's central high school. >> when i was at central high school, i felt special. the whole state thought we were special. you had national merit scholars. you had four or five foreign languages being taught. you had the best teams.

you had a math national championship. to break that up, that's something i think i will never really understand. central is a high poverty, high minority school. right now that data is reflecting that situation. >> here with me now reporter and atlanta contributor nicole anna jones. >> what prompt youed to do this piece? >> i long have been interested in the issue of segregation, and i spent the prior two years focussing on housing segregation, that is closely linked school segregation. i turned my eyes to schools, and the south had gone because of these court orders from the most segregated part of the country to the most integrated part of the country, but we've started to see a sliding back, and i was interested into why that was. >> what did you find out about why that was? >> it was forced do that by federal judges that are issuing

these court orders, but over the past 20 years hundreds of those court orders have been lifted, and once there is no longer judicial oversight, then school districts start to take actions that lead to resegregation. >> yet, we see this is a phenomenon that takes place not just in the south. new york state happens, i believe, to have the most segregated schools in the united states. what is happening outside of the south to resegregate our school system, do you think? >> it's interesting because outside of the south, the selling relegation was mostly de facto. it wasn't written into the law. the reach of court orders was limited outside of the south, and you have never seen a great deal of integration. like you said, in new york, the most segregated parts of the country have long been the midwest and also the northeast. >> right. >> in the south it actually worked, and you kind of have the most to lose there because there were high levels of integ gaegs, and the south indicates the most black children in the country. >> with the self-segregation thaw see from families being able to pick and choose where they send their children to school, there's no court order for that outside of the south.

>> what i really wanted to show in this article because i think a lot of times we think that it is kind of just natural and in terms of patterns of where people live, but there's a great deal of gerrymandering that goes on, and we are able to show in tuscaloosa that actually central high school, which is a 99% black high school is not located in a black neighborhood. it's located in a racially mixed neighborhood, but the white areas are zoned to go to a school across the river that has a much larger white population. >> i want to play more from your mini-doc. let's listen to shelly jones at rolling rock desegregated high school. let's take a listen to that and get her response on the other side. >> we have maintained a desegregated school system. those who had doubts that this -- desegregation and the green factors would be maintained of desegregation, i think now they realized, in fact, yes, we do -- we see it in

action. it is taking place. >> is there fair amount of denial about the situation? i guess in tusk lowe loose wra and outside of it. >> absolutely. one only has to look -- tuscaloosa has created an entirely wlak black feeder system of schools where starting in concerned kindergarten and all the way to graduation these kids spent 13 years in public school without having a white classmate. it's one-third of the students in tuscaloosa. to say they have maintained an integrated system, you have to be ignoring one-third of your students. >> what is the outcome? what if people say, okay, let's say that the schools are either mostly white or mostly black. what does that mean in temz of the outcome for the students? >> well, it's very simple. 60 years ago we failed to make separate equal, and today we fail to make separate equal, and in my story i follow a young lady called den issua dent. she's homecoming queen, class president, an honor student since middle school, but she spent her whole career is segregated high poverty, low performing schools, and she cannot earn a high enough act to

get into a four-year college. that's a problem. she's done everything that we have told her to do. she has done the best that she can with the resource that is she has, and we're failing this child. >> yeah. we also know the outcome is five years of integrated school. black adult earnings increase by 15%. actual real world impact to kids going into desegregated schools. >> if you attend segregated schools, you usually end up living a segregated life. if you attend integrated schools, are you more likely to go on to college and more likely live in integrated neighborhoods and work at integrated jobs. integration is a key to racial equality in general, and the supreme court had the wisdom to understand that 60 years ago. we haven't necessarily followed through. >> all right. nicole hannah jones from pro-public. >> thank you for having me. next, reading between the lines. now that the bundy ranch standoff isn't the first time that we've seen something like this. unfortunately, it's looking like it won't be the last.

>> in north dakota tonight the manhunt goes on for an anti-tax fanatic want for the murders of two u.s. marshalls. late today a small army of lawmen stormed the farm home of 62-year-old gordon, but he wasn't there, and so the search continues. >> that was an nbc news report from 183. as authorities searched the area near medina, north dakota, for gordon call. he was a fugitive for two years after violating his parole for a conviction for refusing to file federal income taxes started in 1967. call, who died in 1983, in a shoot-out with local and federal authorities, and it's the sheriff of lawrence county, arkansas, that was also killed, had been a member of the posse comatatis, a radical anti-semitic group founded by a retired dry cleaning executive and one-time neo-nazi named henry beach. beach and his followers believed that the federal government had been subverted we a criminal conspiracy and that it had lost

its legitimacy and that the highest police authority they had to answer to was the local sheriff. who would call up posses if need be. so-called common law, which conveniently they created for themselves. they refused to pay income taxes mostly, which the group believed xused solely to loot and plunder the wealth produced by the sovereign individual. groups like this, which were sometimes called the sovereign citizens movement, claimed that the federal reserve and the 16th amendment to the constitution, which created the income tax, were illegal, and they often used violence or the threat of violence to back up their aebt government anti-tax beliefs. the movement of attracted a small following, and family forms were being foreclosed by the thousands. you may be oepd old enough to remember the farm aid benefits back then. the sovereign citizens movement exploited the fears of those

farmers, claiming they were fighting a civil rights movement on their behalf. they never got to be a major movement. the fbi estimated they numbered around 50,000 in the 198 0z, but in many cases like call's, they made a deadly impression. when harry reid said bundy doesn't -- he is quoting bundy. when he said they have sniper rifles in the freeway, automatic weapons, and they had children lined up, they wanted to make sure they got hurt first. what if others tried to do the same thing? well, he was right. the militias and the bundy's admitted as much. this country has a history of violent anti-tax movements. tv used to cover them. what tv hosts never did was cheer them on. that wraps things up for the reid reported. have a great weekend. i'll see you back here monday at 2:00 p.m. eastern. be sure to visit us on-line at the reid report.msnbc.com. what do you have going on today, cyclists? >> puff daddy will give the
