i was going to do a bracket, that is the one i would do. rachel maddow show starts now. >> i do the monkey picking stocks. >> i pick the mascots that i think might win in a fake fight between the masscots. there is a team in the tournament called wolford i think that i have never even heard of. going all the way! happy march madness. today we leashed about a thing that democrats and republicans agree on. and i should say this is the first time ever that both parties have agreed this much about this one thing. it is really interesting. a new gallup poll out today and we learn that democrats and republicans agree that they very much dislike both democrats and

republicans. neither major party cracks 40% favorability in latest poll. this is the first time since gallup started tracking the party's images this way that neither party has gotten to 40%. this is favorable opinion for the democratic party in blue republican in red. both parties have their ups and downs, 2005 was a particular low for the democrats. that was after john kerry did not beat george bush. it was a okay year. that was more than reversed in 2009 after president obama was reelected. republicans all of the way down to 34%.

there has been times in our history when one party dipped way down below 40%, but that usually meant that people were just being drawn to the other party. one goes below 40 the other goes way up. that's the way it has worked for a quarter of a century until now. now only 39% have a favorable opinion of democrats and 37% for republicans. nobody gets above 40%. that has never happened before. congratulations modern american poll i guess its. america dislikes you on historically epic numbers. another poll out late that showed that when you ask people what do you think is the most important problem facing this country today, look at the answers. the percentage of people that answers race relations is 4%. the situation in iraq, 4%, with

isis. the state of our education system the proportion of american that thinks education is the most important problem in the country, that is 6%. immigration most important in the country, that is 7 pblgt. unemployment is 10%. but by far welcome the highest percentage of respond don'tants say that the biggest problem with the country is the government. the biggest problem facing our country today is that our government is terrible. dissatisfaction with the government, problem number one by a mile. whatever the opposite is of this feeling. that is how americans feel about our major political parties and the government as a whole.

the opposite of how snow white is feeling right there. just terrible. but there is a cure for this it exists. i think there are proeblgly, depending on who you are, many kinds. here is the cure that is really important in today's news. this little girl. with the pigtails, pigtail braids and classes. she grew up in durham south carolina in the 1960s. she went to a mostly white elementary school. as a little black girl she did so well on standardized testing the school asking her to take the test again. they did not believe that she could do as well as she did on that test and so they asked her to tame it again. she took it again and she got an even better score. 1977, she went on to be the top

of her high school class. her high school got class that if they named a black student to be the top of the class by herself, it might cause a uproar so they made her share being it with two other kids so there was less focus on her, less upsetting for everyone. but she was number one. she went on to harvard as an under grad she stayed at harvard for law school. she excelled. when she graduated, the little girl that had to prove to her elementary school that she was as smart as she was, she got a very high paying job at a private law firm and in about six years she quit. she did and she took her harvard degrees and she decided to use her education and experience to instead go work for the government. to work for this country.

to do that she took a 75% pay cut from her fancy law firm job. a 75% voluntary pay cut to go work for the u.s. attorney's office for the eastern district of new york. that work as a public servant was more meaningful to her than the cash she was raking in at the private law firm. at the u.s. attorney's office she had an incredible career. she prosecuted one of the most high profile police abuse cases in new york city history. she won terrorism indications one after another including a man who planned to blow up the federal reserve. she busted a big scarey story. it was a ring of convenience store onwners, and then were bringing them into convenience stores and using them as slave labor. also for prosecuting corrupt

politicians. like william boyle jr. she also prosecuted michael grey. she could be making bank at a law firm somewhere, she gave that up and she has been done at everything she has ever done. she has excelled at prosecuting corrupt public officials. the kind that make people hate public officials. her life's work has really embodies public service as a noble pursuit. she was and is the best our country has to offer. she has had an unimpeachable career. despite that history, we're not allowed to have her as our next attorney general because congress won't vote on her. they won't hold a vote on her.

they won't allow thoerher to be voted on. she is loretta lynch, the head of the office. she was nominated to be attorney general by president obama four months ago. she would replace eric holder as our next attorney general. she was nominated for attorney general back before president obama nominated ash carter to be the next defense secretary. he nominated loretta lynch and then ash carter. they sailed through and there was no options to either of them. but you want to know the difference between them? he has already been confirmed as defense secretary scene working and she is still waiting for a vote. he has been confirmed long enough that he has started delaying the end of one of our wars. the war in afghanistan, he is unending wars around.

loretta lynch, he has not even had a vote in the senate. she is still waiting. and now senate republicans say they're not going to vote on her nomination until dcs give in on a totally unrelated piece of legislation that has nothing to do with her and that both parties are fighting about in congress. they are holding her nomination hostage. even though they admit they have nothing against her, when you read these story there's is always a mention of ed meest. loretta lynch has waited the longest for a vote of any attorney general nomination in history except for ed meest.

here is the thing about him. a special court appointed attorney attorney general had to investigate him for internal interest free loaned. and and and and and. that humiliating lengthy detailed investigation, that was the reason that he had to wait so long as a vote for attorney general. and he found that he had not committed crimes the ethical violations for holding office. can we not compare the two. these are not the same.

ed meese had to wait a long time for a vote for a real reason about him. there is no reason why loretta lynch is still waiting and why we as a country are still waiting. loretta lynch is the embodiment of a in what we suffer through right now, how our government is suffering right now doesn't steam be changing. joining me now is senator chuck schumer. senator mcconnell says there will not be a vote to confirm loretta lynch until an unrelated bill on human trafficking it resolved. do you take him on his word that there will be a vote allowed at

that point? >> who knows. we were befuddled when he withdrew his promise this week. there is no good reason. i sat through the hearings and they didn't lay a glove on her. she was perfect. one of the best witnesses i have seen. her record is exemplary. they have not found a single thing wrong and they keep finding excuses for why they won't go for her. it is just disgraceful. we need an attorney general to look after human trafficking. we have isis and terrorism and they are holder her up. i'll tell you one thing, mitch mcconnell came in bragging that he could color, how they can't pass an exemplary nominee that no one has a word of criticism

about. i know her, i recommended her to president clinton in '99, and i recommended she come back in 2009. she has been one of the best u.s. attorneys we have ever had. she has a long record and they can't find any fault with her. >> senator schumer, the objections about her seem to not be about her. they raised objections to president's immigration policies, or trafficking -- why pick her to be the nominee to hold up. why not stall ash carter or judicial nominees. why her? >> that is a great question. it is not due to her qualifications. none of them dispute that. you have to ask yourself why, and there are a lot of different

explanations explanations. >> do you have faith in your own strategy and the democratic strategy and the white house strategy to try to pressure the republicans into a vote? >> i think she will eventually be confirmed, but it just shows how for all of the claims they know how to govern, they have not had one good week. they have been pulled in all directions. it should have been an easy bill to pass they snuck in an expansion of the hyde amendment. and my guess is that the hard right wing is pulling at mcconnell, at boehner, and making it impossible for them to governor. they don't know how nor do they

care. the original good news is that it helps us when the presidency in 2016 and take back the senate and if they keep this up even the house. >> senator one more question for you, the delay on loretta lynch's nomination is just starting to get traction. if there is a large external source of pressure on this if activist groups start to push on this would it be more or less likely that a vote could come through. right now she is not only noncontroversial but a totally noncontroversial cause. >> you know because they have nothing bad to say against her, i think the pressure from these groups will help not hurt. the more this issue is highlighted, the more it is show that many americans just about to this kind of behavior the

more it would help. i would encourage groups to push guard, and tell people to write and call their senators. the more focus it gets the quicker her confirmation will be. >> senator chuck schumer, thank you for being with me. i said that she went to durham high school in durham, she went in durham north carolina not durham, south carolina.

this is what a brain looks like when you take a picture of it. this is a brain scan made by an mri. if you ever had one, god bless you. when you get an mri for your brain, they have to slide you inside this giant machine. the room is freezing. the machine sounds like elves hammering. you are guaranteed to feel stressed and claustrophobic. if all goes well they slide you back out and there for you and your doctors is the result. the scan of your brain. if it is healthy it will look

something like that. you see the two halves. the overall shape of your skull, some of the wrinkles of your brain tissue. if you get a picture like this you have a healthy brain. inside that brain is the machinery that makes you you. your thoughts, memories, impulses habits. that's is a normal brain. now look at this. this is a picture of what is not a normal brain. because as you can see in this picture, this brain has a giant hole in it. that big dark spot on the upper left side. the brain is missing 20% of it's frontal lobe. it allows us to make decisions of right and wrong. it is the home of executive function. you get to be the boss of yourself control yourself. this brain is missing 20%. a little less than 8% of it's

overall mass. that is scary, right? that wrecked looking brain belongs to this living man. a prisoner on death row named cecil clayton. surgeons did emergency surgery and they were able to save him, but they had to cut out a fifth of his frontal lobe president his iq plummeted to the level of being disabled. he was hallucinating, hearing voices, at one point he asked to be hospitalized. more than 20 years later on 1996 cecil clayton killed a police officer in southwest missouri. the officer was responding to a

domestic violence call. mr. clayton shot the officer at close range while he was still in his patrol car. he still had his seat belt fastenned, the key running and the gun still in his holster. for that violent and terrible crime, cecil has sentenced to death. he is the oldest man on death row in missouri at the age of 74. they have been evaluated over and over by experts for the state and his defense team. he has never had a hearing, a formal hearing to determine if he is competent enough to under go execution. to determine literally whether he has the brains to be able to understand what is happening to him and why. in missouri a person can't legally be executed if the result of a mental disease or defect he lacks capacity to understand the nature of the purpose about to be imposed on

him. his lawyers say yeah he is absolutely incompetent by they reason because of his brain injury but he has never been determined legally if he was competent enough to undergo execution. his lawyer never asked for one and now he is shot allowed to ask for one after his conviction. they're planning to kill him tomorrow. the petition shows exam after exam after exam that he cannot think or reason properly. that he barely managed life outside of prison before his crime and now he can't imagine routine tasks inside prison. things like using a phone. on page three, his defense team

including a picture of his brain. i mean you can try as a prisoner to seem psychotic or slow. this is a prisoner of a missouri state prison on death row with a hole in his brain. his legal team says they filed their paper work tonight for an appeal. they expect to not hear until tomorrow, but tomorrow is when the execution is scheduled to take place. they have been executing about one a month in missouri since 2013. the next guy has a giant hole in his brain and they plan on killing him at 6:00 tomorrow. we all buy are transported on container ships. before a truck delivers it to your store, a container ship delivered it to that truck. here in san diego, we're building the first one ever to run on natural gas. ships this big

the buildings. the death toll at this point is still unclear. 24 people are confirmed dead but officials have been cautions they have had no contact with the outer islands. they are believed to have taken the brunt of the storm and no one knows what they will find when they get out there. the death toll stands at 24 and that number is expected to rise. ♪ during its first year, a humpback calf and its mother are almost inseparable. she lifts her calf to its first breath of air, then protects it on the long journey to their feeding grounds. one of the most important things you can do is help the next generation. at pacific life, we offer financial solutions to accomplish just that. ask a financial advisor about pacific life. the power to help you succeed.

an january 31 1989 janet chandler was working at the front desk at her job and he was kidnapped, raped, and murdered. 24 years after she was abducted a group of journalism students at hope college started it make a documentary about her case this cold case killing in an effort to reexplain what happened. to try to also the case's

unanswered questions. the students interviewed family members and local law enforcement about the investigation and they did a documentary about it and it aired on the local public tv station 25 years to the day that her body was discovered. that sparked new interest in the case. they assigned four detectives to look into the newly reopened case. that documentary paired with the renewed and amped up police effort led to six people being convicted in her death. more than a quarter century after she had been killed. an amazing thing. it was also a very rare thing. a more famous example of documentary investigation changing the course of a murder case is "the thin blue line." it is a phenomenal piece of film making. it is about the murder of a

dallas police officer and the conviction of randall adams in that police officer's death. the interviews and evidence collected in the course of making that film led to randall adam's conviction being thrown out and his release from jail 12 years behind bars. and "paradise lost." teenagers were who convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 1994 for the deaths of three kids. the documentary kept that case in the public eye for 15 years. that public attention and the hard questions about the convictions in that case spurred people across the country to push for those convictions to be overturned ultimately after two decades behind bars. they struck a deal with the west memphis three and secured their release from jail.

and now, today, the only thing anyone has been talking about all day today, is the three deaths, two of which have never been solved that have as a connection between them a man named robert durst. he has long been charged and never charged with the death of his wife cathy. in 2010 susan berman his friend was found dead in her apartment. he was charged and acquitted in the death of his neighborhood. he admitted to mismembering morris black's body but he was acquitted of murdering him. he said he only shot mr. black in self-defense. he approached filmmakers and asked if he could work with them to tell his story. he agreed to parties nit a

documentary they called "the jinx." that led prosecutors to reopen their case in the death of susan berman. she was shot to death in her los angeles apartment in 2011. hours before the final episode was set to air, he was arrested in new orleans by fbi agents. in the final episode that aired last night with him in custody, they explain handwriting evidence they found that they think may link robert durst to suzanne berman's death. they confronted him. they also played this audio that i will play here in just a moment that was recorded after the interview while mr. durst was in the bathroom, off camera, and still wearing his microphone.

>> did he mean that literally. that tape played last night on hbo has been headlined as his confession. it is absolutely unclear as to whether or not that actually was intended as a confession and if a court would view it that way. and there is also a question of when that happened. the filmmaker said over two years passed between when he made that statement and when they found the audio and realized what it was. after robert durst's arrest in new orleans this week just

tonight law enforcement says they are charging him with first degree murder in the death of suzanne berman. it does not happen often that a investigation and a documentary get so entwined it is hard to tell them about. joining me now is the director of "the west memphis three." i know every film and filmmaker is different. i wanted to ask you about the specific question of handing over information to the police. recognizing you're working on something that may affect an on going investigation or an investigation that ought to be in law enforcement hands. how do you make those decisions? >> it is very conflicting. sometimes police and prosecutors get it wrong. you want to with the west memphis three they got it wrong.

with the dna exonerations. so you flowknow there is a attention between doing your own investigation and not impeding upon an ongoing nefgsinvestigation. i don't know the facts. i think it is a triumph of television but it races troubling issues that we as a documentary community need to address. and i can only speak for when i confronted with the situation and what we chose to do. in the original fill of "paradise lost." we were embedded in the community for about nine months and before the first trial was about to begin, we were given under bizarre circumstances a bloody knife. these children were stabbed

repeatedly with a serrated knife. we were confronted with a moral dilemma. if we report this to hbo this might shut down the film. but what do we do as good citizens. of course we decided pretty quickly we had to inform hbo, the head of documentaries called us back and we had a meeting and we all realized that good citizenship trumps whatever the outcome of the film may be. we were concerned that so much of documentary making is about establishing trust and a repore. we decided not to interfere with a potential ongoing murder trial

so we turned over the evidence. that incident is in the film but we felt it could shut the film down. i would like to think in 2015, that was 1993. i would like to think in 2015 if that meeting were to happen we would all collectively come to the same decision. i think what has been missing from the dialogue today, is that there has been an ongoing erosion of the line between fiction and reality and investigation and entertainment. i get notes all of the time about making it more entertaining. so when we do things like selectively with hold information, or stylized recreations of events. when you put yourself on camera

as an on camera investigator these are things i think erode the journalism. i the "the jinx" is an amazing piece of cinema and has, as you said, it's rare that documentarians can feel the direct impact of their work. it's an amazeing moment and i'm concerned about the blurring of the line between fiction and entertainment. there is a fine line between investigation and exploitation. there is a fine line between balanced journalism and trial by television. i think this case brought into today's events -- >> yeah just because of the way this has landed the power of well produced documentary film

to present an unrebutted case you know? that is your view of the world and the facts as you understand them as a filmmaker when you're dealing with live suspects and live cases. it's daunting. great to have you here.

it's a rewarding feeling. red dawn was a movie made in 19894 1989 1984, i think about world war three. it's about the soviet union invading the united states and a gup of mighty teenagers bands together to save america from

soviet occupation. go patrick swayze woo, red dawn weirdly was the name of a u.s. military operation conducted on september 13 2003 that resulted in iraqi president saddam hussein. hussain was found hiding underground in his home village of tikrit. he was tried by an iraqi tribunal, they sentenced him to death by hanging. three years later, american troops handed him over to a newly trained united states of the iraqi national police. that unit took him to a room that was made for that purpose, it was cold it smelled bad. while everyone prayed out loud. some started shouting muqtada,

muqtada. the trial of saddam hussein was supposed to represent a new beginning for iraq right? the newly-formed iraqi police were supposed to represent everyone in iraq but the saddam execution was a sectarian horror show. and now, as the iraqi government, which, again is supposed to stand for everybody, as they are waging a battle to regain control of tikrit saddam's hometown from isis, we're learning that the lavish mausoleum that housed the tomb of saddam has been destroyed. this is ap footage from south of tikrit. it was the tomb of saddam hussein. it's been completely leveled and destroyed. reports are that it was intentionally destroyed by shiite-backed militias. one other video that was posted of the site recently shows soldiers celebrating, directly addressing and taunting saddam.

[ speaking in foreign language ] >> firing into the rubble revenge, revenge, revenge. saddam hussein's actual body is not there anymore. his actual body was reportedly moved out of that mausoleum last year to an unknown location. i wonder what would have happened to it now had they left it there. the forces spearheading in tikrit comprise about 20,000 shiite militia men and members of muqtada's brigade. it's awkward for the united states the muqtada side the shiite militia side that side is the one that we are technically also on the side of in the fight against isis. and they do not necessarily see

this as a fight to defeat isis like we do but rather a centuries-long sectarian war in which this is just the latest battle. this video today from the tomb of saddam in tikrit. yet another reminder of that.
