why aren't they billing them for the water being flood into the houses when the copper and metal is stolen from the foreclosures? >> lee -- >> all we are asking for is fair treatment. >> yeah. >> we are not saying the people don't owe money. if ford field is contesting the amount, people should get that same respect. >> i know your working hard. thank you very much. that's "the ed show." i niemi for ed schultz. "politics nation" with reverend al sharpton starts now. good evening, rev. >> good evening, ari. thanks to you for tuning in. tonight's lead caught on camera. the disturb thing video of a california highway patrolman repeatedly hitting a woman in the head during an arrest. last tuesday evening the patrolman confronted a woman named marlene pennick who officers said had been walking into traffic on a los angeles freeway.

witnesses say there was a struggle before the officer pulled her to the ground and punched her over and over again. a driver passing by took a cell phone video of the incident. >> [ bleep ]. oh, [ bleep ] he's beating her up. >> oh, my gosh. why? [ siren ] >> i mean, shocking. after that, a plain clothes officer arrived at the scene and also held ms. pennick down. the california highway patrol said she put herself and others in danger. they haven't identified the officer in the video. but say he's on paid leave while they conduct a full investigation. >> we are looking at every possibility.

every fact. every circumstance that's contributed to this situation. the report indicated that the individual was not injured and the officer didn't notice injuries ton individual are. >> after she was arrested she was held on a 72-hour mental evaluation. while authorities say she wasn't injured, her family is telling a different story. they say she was seriously hurt by the officer and plan to file a lawsuit. here was her daughter this weekend. >> today was the first day i was finally able to see and talk to her. i just thank god she's alive. he hit her over and repeatedly over. she wasn't even putting up a fight. i want justice for my mom. >> the family wants justice for what they say was a brutal attack. local act vis say the best way to get justice would be through a federal investigation. >> what we saw with the video

was a civil rights abuse. a civil rights violation. >> activists are calling for a federal investigation into the beating, arguing the chp cannot police itself. >> you've got to take it out of their hands. what you have to do is it has to be in the hands of the justice department. >> but now, no matter who conducts the investigation, we need to find out why this happened and punish all of those involved. joining me now is author and political activist dr. early afari hutchinson, one of the activists calling for a federal investigation. and also with me is the man who shot that video. he's using the name david diaz because of the intense pub p lick scrutiny in this case. thank you for being here. >> my pleasure. >> thank you. >> david, let me start with you. it was your video that brought this case to light.

what made you start recording this? >> when you see an officer and a woman on the freeway, especially in the area where i live, you know there is something about to happen. if nothing happened there wouldn't be a big deal. i would rather have the camera rolling and see what happens. i'm glad i did. do you know what? something happened that the world needed to see. >> you know, dade, when i saw the video over the weekend, i immediately thought about rodney king. i was involved in that. what were you thinking when the highway patrolman started hitting this woman? >> it escalated quickly. it went from are -- i think he was going to grab her, throw her to the ground and handcuff her to -- i don't think he cared what he did. he just wanted to really unleash these power punches to her head. it was shocking, brutal. it was completely unnecessary.

>> now from what you saw and what i saw from your film, the woman is not seeming to pose a threat. she's not fighting back. she doesn't do anything that seems like it necessitated this kind of reaction. was it anything you saw that was different are from what we see in the vid zbleo? >> no. the only thing i saw that's not on the video is the lady was coming back off the ramp. i saw her coming off the ramp, getting back into the steets. the officer then says something to her. i guess to ignite or engage her. she turns around and then the situation escalated. the officer and the lady were jostling for position behind the red truck. this is what i saw before i got on. then basically 10, 15 seconds

later the red truck goes. then it's basically her and the officer. we see what happens after. >> at any point did you observe her in any way physically assault or even gesture to assault this policeman? >> nothing -- when initially it happened she put up her hands in defense to not get beat. there was no real, real defense on her part. just natural reaction of not getting punched in the head. you kind of put your hand in front of your head. >> dr. hutchinson, it would seem to me -- i know you and other activists are meeting with the highway patrol leadership tomorrow. is there justification in your mind, even if they are saying she was wandering into traffic and would endanger people. does that justify what we saw on

the tape? >> we are dealing with trained professionals. they go through a rigorous training program. at least we are led to believe, which means any time you are dealing with a volatile situation, someone who has drugs, mental challenges or you think may escalate into a situation you are the trained professional. part of your training is to subdues, put the handcuffs on, lead them away, not escalate but defuse the confrontation. the officer stepped over the line between a legal arrest and apprehension are blows to the head, the beating, pummelling. that's excessive force. that's why at that point in time once you cross the line you're not law enforcement anymore. you're a thug. you are abusing authority. nothing justifies what we saw, reverend al. >> the california highway patrol said it is investigating.

it hasn't admitted wrongdoing. take a listen to the assistant chief. >> he, again, tried to contact the individual, to stop them from walking in the traffic lanes or walking on the freeway. that's when the incident occurred. we will leave no stone unturned in gathering these facts. >> what's your reaction to that? >> that's all well and good. we appreciate the fact they are taking this serious lichlt -- seriously. we have seen it time and again in the past. you have a police agency that investigates itself and the allegation and reality is excessive force, often times must go by, nothing happen, back page story, case closed. in other words, a cover-up. it's important to have another pair of eyes -- in this case the justice department. overseeing exactly what you are doing to make sure you cross

your i's and essentially dot your t's and vice versa. >> you called for full disclosure. why should there be a federal investigation? >> two reasons. one, you always have to have are an independent set of eyes. we have seen it in the past. you have had charges, allegations of excessive force by law enforcement under the color of law. often times the justice department as a backstop when they actually look at the cases, it makes sure it is a fair and impartial -- really fair and impartial investigation with the option, reverend al, that if, in fact, something is amiss. if justice isn't served. if it's not impartial then at that point in time, there is the option, the backstop for another agency to step in. so it's a back check. >> david diaz, let me ask you this of i heard when we were

listening to the deputy chief, he's saying she was going into the traffic. did i hear you correctly saying you thought she was coming off the ramp? >> at one point when i first saw her she was coming off the ramp. something was said from the officer to her that turned her back around to then reengage each other. once that happened and the red truck got out of the way, she didn't walk to the right side. she did walk to the left side of the emergency lane. she wasn't in between traffic. i don't know if he had thrown her to the ground she would have. regardless, if you're trying to save someone, what's all the ten hits in the head for? that doesn't make sense. you can't be the savior and the beater at the same time. >> well, we have to leave it there. 22 years ago, we saw a beating on video of a man named rodney king, who i spoke at his

funeral. he did this show before his death. he was reminiscent of a time we thought we had gotten beyond this. to see an unarmed woman in this position brutally hit over and over again, it begs for real serious scrutiny and investigation of. we cannot have law enforcement turn into thugs as early said on this show tonight. early hutchinson and david diaz, thank you for your time tonight. we'll be right back. y allstate gives you money back every year you don't have one.

coming up, this july 4th parade float in nebraska, shows president obama's library as an outhouse. why has this ugliness toward this president become so common on the right.

plus speaker boehner suing the president. those cheers are coming from white house. was it an accident or was it murder? today, new search warrants released on a father charged with murdering his son. stay with us. it was the biggest decision king's hawaiian had faced, since robert taira opened his first bakery in a small hawaiian town. making bread so good, that people bought two loaves one to take home, and one to eat on the way. so good, they grew from here. to here. to here. but to grow again, to the east coast they needed a new factory, but where? fortunately, they get financing from ge capital. we not only have teams dedicated to the food industry, we're also part of ge, a company that's built hundreds of factories. so we could bring in experts to help king's hawaiian make sense of transportation routes, supply chains, labor pools, and zoning to help them make the right decision. and, i'd like to think, to make their founderroud.

if you just need a loan, just call a bank. at ge capital, we're builders. and what we know, can help you grow. it's time to give america a raise. and so far this year, 13 states have made that happen. at the beginning of 2014, these 13 states increased their minimum wage. now, a new report shows that in the first five months of this year, all but one of those

states are experiencing job growth. so much for the tired old gop argument that a minimum wage hike is a job killer. >> the last thing we want to do is have fewer jobs for younger people. >> i want people to make what they can. i don't think a minimum wage law works. >> kwo are think raising the minimum wage -- and history is clear -- doesn't accomplish those goals. >> when you raise the price of employment, guess what happens. you get less of it. >> you get less employment if you raise the minimum wage? the gop couldn't be more wrong about that. americans think so, too. they overwhelmingly support the raising of the minimum wage. 93% of democrats. 69% of independents. even 52% of republicans. why? because the rich keep getting richer and the rest of the country keeps getting poorer. take a look at the shot showing

income since 1979. for the top 1%, it's gone up 240%. for the average worker, it's pretty much stayed flat. it's un-american. it needs to change. joining me now is vermont senator bernie saunders. his state is one of the ones who has raised the minimum wage every year since 2007. thank you for being here tonight. >> my pleasure. >> what does this report mean for your state and for americans who deserve to earn a fair wage? >> al, let me tell you one thing. my state of vermont raised the minimum wage to $8 an hour. we will raise its to $10.50 in ten years and we have the second lowest unemployment in the

united states of america. this is mythology. >> i think that's important what you said. your state has an escalating minimum wage going up and up. you have the second least amount of unemployment, second state in the country? >> that's correct. >> you know your colleagues in the senate and republicans elsewhere have said raising the minimum wage could kill jobs and they are looking out for us. if what you are saying is true, that's the exact opposite, senator. >> absolutely. it's not true in vermont and not true in other states. here's why. as your charts indicated, in recent years, 95% of all new income went to the top 1%. the very wealthiest people in the country. 70% of the economy is based on consumer spending. what happens when you have tens of millions of people working at low wage jobs who don't have any

disposable income to spend? how do we create decent paying jobs? we don't. when you raise the minimum wage, rather than seeing new income. come to the top 1%, you see 28 million americans get a pay raise. they have a few extra bucks to spend on goods and services. that helps create jobs. that's what we have to do. >> now, the report i mentioned also shows the states which raised the minimum wage fared better than those that didn't. states with a minimum wage remained the same. those that raised the wage saw employment increase by .99%. not only has raising the min mudge wanl not hurt them, it helped in a comparative way to states that didn't, senator. >> look. the reality is most of the new jobs created in our economy today are low wage and part-time

jobs. we are dealing with a moral issue of so few having so much and so many having so little, we are dealing with the economic issue that what we need to do now is not only raise the minimum wage to give low income working people more disposable income, we need as massive jobs program. we need to rebuild infrastructure. we need to put real dollars in the hands of working people to improve their standard of living. when you do that, they have the money to spend and create additional jobs. >> let me ask you something. when you say we need to create jobs, something that maybe you can explain to me. recent studies show house republicans are represent more low wage workers than democrats do. one in five years workers earn $11.50 per hour or less. 55% of those people live in republican districts. why are so many republicans

opposed to something that would actually help so many of their constituents? >> a couple of reasons. they assume, probably correctly, that in many of the states, low income working people aren't going vote. the projection is in the next election, 40% of the american people are will vote. probably 70 to 80% of low income workers won't vote. you don't have to pay attention. they are not going to vote. they are not making huge campaign contributions. they are not the koch brothers. study after study shows that congress listens to the people who make big campaign donations. not ordinary people or low income people who are struggling to survive. that's the sad reality of politics in america today. >> that's why i'm spending the summer doing a freedom summer 2014. we have to get people out to vote. >> absolutely. >> senator sanders, thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you. >> still ahead, new search warrantses in the horrific case

of the baby boy who died in a hot car in georgia. what are police looking for now. also the offensive parade float comparing the obama presidential library to an outhouse. what does it say about the right wing attitudes today? plus, you will never guess who the gop is going to back to the future with in tonight's gotcha. stay with us.

the extremist attack on president obama has now become mainsteam on the right. remember the creepy uncle sam ads? today the same koch brother funded group that created those ads is back with more distortion and fear mongering. >> it's the carnival of care. sign up today. ♪ >> the group behind this ad says later this month it will host an actual carnival on the national mall, attacking the health law. it's all part of the right wing's effort to tear down president obama. today that effort includes the highest ranking republican in

congress. speaker john boehner says he's sticking with his lawsuit against the president, citing his habit of ignoring the law. it's the same lawless rhetoric that we have heard from tea party leaders for years. now it's taken over the gop. joining me now is congressman emmanuel cleaver, democrat are from missouri, and salon.com's joan walsh. thank you for being here. >> thanks, rev. >> good to be with you. >> congressman, we have seen ugly attacks on the president before. i just played the reaction of a 9-year-old who saw the parade float in nebraska. what impact do these public displays on our politics have on our young people. what impact does it have on our politics and our young people seeing these things? >> one of the things i believe it says is that it's okay.

when a 9-year-old girl sees something so improper, so demeaning being done by adults and people who are in authority, in a parade, then says it's okay. rather than the united states moving away from the kind of bitter divisions that we have had. we seem to have gotten upset because we are moving away from it. now it's like full speed ahead. let's see if we can recapture some of the nastiness of days gone by. this is sad. every american ought to be upset about it if they want an america that's going to use the diversity to stay the most significant super power in the history of the planet. >> the float is a new low. the reaction of that little girl

broke my heart. we could do the whole show, the whole week of shows with those kind of disrespect shown to this president. john boehner is in a category by hils. himself. this stunt, this lawsuit. he's trying to throw red meat to his base and table scraps. they get it. they are protesting this, saying either impeach him or don't. this is impeachment for cowards. >> boehner wrote in an opinion article that he's going ahead with the lawsuit. he's cited, quote, the president's flippant dismissal of the constitution and habit of ignoring the law and he said the president has, quote, not faithfully executed the law. joan, the speaker still didn't explain. you talk about the lawsuit. he's still not explaining specifically what he's suing

himmer for. >> no, because he can't. my colleague looked at the op-ed and earlier boehner press releases. he said it all before. he's not coming out and saying what things are lawless. if they are, they really should impeach the president. i don't want to see that. if that's what they believe, they have a remedy. this is impeachment for cowards. >> many of your colleagues on the republican side of the aisle keep throwing around the term lawless, lawless. listen to this. >> president obama's legacy will be -- and i predicted this a year ago -- the establishment of lawlessness in the united states of america. >> there is the pattern of lawlessness in this administration. ignoring law after law after law. >> we have an increasingly lawsless presidency.

>> the president has lawlessly decided which parts of obamacare to implement and which parts not to implement. >> have they thrown the term around so that it's lost its meaning? so anything now can be called lawless? it seems to be so overused it has no i will pact. -- impact. anything the president does is lawless. >> yeah. the term has become impotent. we used to think of jesse james and pretty boy floyd as lawsless. it's not a term we even heard during the legitimate impeachment of richard nixon. so they are trying to categorize this president in a way that no other president has been categoriz categorized. they want to extract from him any semblance of what it means to be the president of the

united states. they want him to just be there. this lawsuit is a sham. the two things that are infinite in the universe. and lawsuits are one of them. what we need to understand is that the president is welcoming the lawsuit. it's going to be one of the things that late night comedians play with. i don't think boehner will do it. >> you know are, joan, i think that the congressman touched on a point that really was troubling to me. it's not enough to disagree with the president. not enough to debate or even defeat his policies. but it's to try and act like he's not the president. really to take away the legitimacy. that's really something that hits me at my core, that's

different than they have done any other president they have disagreed with. >> it's true. they are playing to the base which refuses to accept his legitimacy. they want that base to turn out in the midterm elections. it means he's a tyrant. some of us get a little bit concerned when we hear these words. they can lead to violence. if the man is a tyrant, you can see why some militia people and we have had dangerous are people use guns on police. they are waving the flag of tyran tyranny. they are living under tyranny. this is being abetted by the party. >> congressman, we have seen in the past they have over reached and it's backfired on them. is it possible they are over reaching again in this case? >> absolutely.

they are saying let john boehner do this lawsuit. it will cause rational republicans which is the squormt of them to look at this and say this is not -- our party has lost its way. i think that one of the things we ought to do is try to encourage the speaker to go ahead and do this. it's an act, i think, that historians will write about as the one thing that brought democrats together in the 2014 elections like nothing else. >> it gives you hope when you think they can think rational maybe. let me say before our conservative bloggers jump on this, with you and i both being ministers, we have no inside

information on what the president prays for when he goeses to bed at night. they will have that out on my show that we were here giving away private secrets of the president's dialogue with the lord. congressman, joan walsh, thank you for your time. >> thanks. >> coming up, was it an accident or murder? a big day of developments in the hot car murder case. what new warrants were released? and will the mom be charged? new questions tonight. that's next.

now to the hot car case. was with it an accident or was it murder. today 16 new search warrants were released in the case against justin ross harris. the father charged with murdering his 22-month-old son cooper. after leaving him in a sweltering hot car for seven hours. investigators requested medical records, looking for his health history. medications, and medical problems. they asked for the baby's medical records, too to find evidence of his med kag conditions and medications. a key to the case might be in the father's electronic devices. dprart investigators are trying to put together pieceses of information pertaining to

finances, credit cards, debt, business information and life insurance. all of this comes as we are learning police are beginning to focus on cooper's mother. leanna harris. after investigators testified last week that she showed little emotion when she learned of her son's death. >> in front of several witnesses all of the sudden she states, ross must have left him in the car. they're like, what? there is no other reason. ross must have -- no other explanation. ross must have left him in the car. >> when police spoke with her, did they say anything of note about her reaction? >> she didn't show any emotion when they notified her of cooper's death. she did make a statement that this was her worst nightmare. >> after being told he was deceased, did she ask to see her son or anything? >> no. >> who did she ask to see?

>> her husband. >> joining me now, criminal defense attorney ken patowi strks z and msnbc legal analyst faith jenkins. thank you for being here. >> thanks, rev. >> thank you. >> they asked for medical records, a dvd, a memory card, a thumb drive, and an external hard drive. what struck you out of the new search warrants today? >> the information come trg the ser is. warrants, they are hitting a treasure trove of circumstantial evidence. the case is building if reports are to be believed of what they are finding as if the hot temperature in the car was building the day his son died. there is terrible information coming out. one of the things i read that disturbed me was one of the internet searches by the father showed he was searching how to survive in prison. if i'm a prosecutor in this case and there is, in fact, first-degree murder charges

filed against the father i will blow that search up. that search on the internet that father did on how to survive in prison. this is a very, very disturbing case. the evidence coming forth will be a tremendous help to the prosecutors in the case. >> faith, what jumps out at you on the list of search warrants and what they are after? >> it shows the level of investigation that they are conducting at this point. one of the big takeaways from last week's hearing was this image of justin ross harris, the dad, and who he is. prior to this hearing you heard a lot of people say he was a loving, caring father or church-going man. and he would never harm his child. then all of the sudden at the hearing we find out he's having sexting conversations with numerous women. one of them underage. and he looked at a website, read about how to live a child-free life. these things all painting a different picture of who the man

is. as a former prosecutor and an investigator when you learn information like that, you have to dig into the defendant's background at every level to find out who he is. have there been other incidentses of child abuse against connor? you want to dig that information out. >> you know, this weekend we learned justin ross harris has been telling family members from jail how to collect a life insurance policy on cooper. harris and his wife leanna had two are life insurance policies for their son. one for $25,000. the other for $2,000. ken, is it strange for parents to take out two life insurance policies for a 22-month-old? >> well, being the son of a father who is an insurance agent, there is a legitimate reason to have life insurance for your son. that's to enshire their insushlt in the future if they get sick.

it's surprising that the there are two policies here. one for $25,000. in conjunction with the other evidence that the police are finding in the case. there is a lot of suspicion. that evidence of the life insurance may be another piece in the puzzle that builds a circumstantial evidence case for the police plis and the prosecutors in this case. if there were to be a trial. >> faith, we spoke about the increased interest in cooper's mother earlier. last week a detective told the court about her meeting with justin ross-harris in the interrogation room. listen to this. >> it was all about hill. i can't believe this is happening to me. why am i being punished for this? it continued. it was all one-sideded. did he talk about losing his job? he said, what will i do? i will lose my job. i will be charged with a felony.

>> did his wife ever ask what he said to police. >> he starts going through it. she said, did you say too much? >> did you say too much? i mean, what does that say to you, faith? >> the facts and allegations of charges against the dad are so reprehensible and unimaginable there is only one thing that makes this unimaginable. there may have been collusion the dad and moll to kill the child. when you look at she went to the day care and her first response was her husband must have left the child in the car. when she went to the police station from are the clip you played. she said, did you say too much. her lack of emotional response when the police told her that her son died. she didn't are have an emotional response. didn't cry at all. her mother questioned, why aren't you upset?

those things point to the fact there may have been collusion here. is that enough for conspiracy? they have to show there was an agreement to commit the carolina. they are taking their time with the investigation with her. they are building their case. the if there is enough, we'll see chargeses against her. >> no warrant yet issued for the mom. faith thinks they could be building that way. questionable behavior. do you see them tying to go that way? are these just are part of them being thorough with everything. >> they are doing it in an intelligent way. taking their time, building a case. looking to see if there is circumstantial evidence sufficient to rise to the level of probable cause to arrest or charge the mother in this case. she may not be guilty of a crime. right now the evidence is coming out. the internet search by the mom,

looking to see how long it takes for a child or animal to die in a hot car. if the media reports are true and she made those searches and did it within a short period of time prior to the son's death, there is sufficient direction for the investigation to look at her closely to determine whether or not they can build a case and charge her with a crime. >> all right. ken and faith, we'll leave it there. thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> still ahead, this weekend's stunning surge in violence in chicago. why did it happen? and what can be done to bring peace back to our streets? that's ahead.

since hurricane katrina. hundreds of thousands of people came out for panels, seminars, and music. including a headlining performance by prince. i got a chance to sign copies of my book "the rejected stone" and meet with many people at the msnbc meet and greet. but my personal highlight was

getting honored by three women who turned their personal grief into a positive force for change. they helped present me the essence icon award for service in the cause of civil rights. these women have been through so mu much and their courage and faith reminds me what i'm fighting for. >> i promise you, michelle, and the essence family that i will keep fighting as long as i live. every day i get up, i have only one issue. i wish every morning i wake up that every bigot, every brutal person, every wrong person in this land will say, damn, he's up again. vo: this is the summer.

the summer of this. the summer that summers from here on will be compared to. where memories will be forged into the sand. and then hung on a wall for years to come. get out there, with over 50,000 hotels at $150 dollars or less. expedia. find yours. since robert taira openedsion king's hhis first bakeryd, in a small hawaiian town. making bread so good, that people bought two loaves one to take home, and one to eat on the way. so good, they grew from here. to here. to here. but to grow again, to the east coast

they needed a new factory, but where? fortunately, they get financing from ge capital. we not only have teams dedicated to the food industry, we're also part of ge, a company that's built hundreds of factories. so we could bring in experts to help king's hawaiian make sense of transportation routes, supply chains, labor pools, and zoning to help them make the right decision. and, i'd like to think, to make their founder proud. if you just need a loan, just call a bank. at ge capital, we're builders. and what we know, can help you grow. i dbefore i dosearch any projects on my home. i love my contractor, and i am so thankful to angie's list for bringing us together. find out why more than two million members count on angie's list. angie's list -- reviews you can trust.

finally tonight, a bloody weekend in chicago. the tribune says between thursday afternoon and early monday morning, 82 people were shot in the city. 82. 14 of them died. the youngest victim was 14 years old. the oldest was a 66-year-old woman, her head was grazed by a bullet as she walked up the stepses of her porch. this map shows all the places where shootings have happened in chicago. so far this year. it's too much. people are simply fed up. >> something we see every day in chicago. bottom line. it's a tragedy. i feel sorry for the family. i pray for them. >> you get used to seeing people shot, dead bodies. it's got to stop sometimes. >> sometimes i fear walking around. you never know who's watching, what's on the next person's mind.

how they might look at you. are it's like, i'm 21. i want to live. >> a year and a half ago, police said crime plunged to the lowest level in decades. then investigations, including some by my colleague chris hayes raised questions about whether police were fiddling with the numbers. the people of chicago want to know what police, city officials and community leaders are are going to do about the violence. i got an apartment last year and stayed there. i got to know people, talked to young people. we cannot have a nation where one of its largest cities people say we are used to seeing people die. we can't have that kind of hopelessness. here we are seeing this weekend raises this again. i'm going to do my part. others must do theirs. no one should be given a pass. all hands on deck.

from parents to city hall. for politicians to preachers. we've got to stop thes violence. thanks for watching. i'm al sharpton. "hardball" starts right now. now sell it. let's play "hardball." good evening. i'm chris matthews, back in washington. let me start with something that's bothering me. its's about the democrats. it's about the president who, whether he likes to say so or not, is a democrat. why are you people so bad at the sales pitch? why can't you sell yourself? even when you are delivering the goods. excuse me for saying so, but we have a new monthly jobs report showing an up surge with almost 300,000 new jobs. a winning steek of five months with over 200,000 new
