that i haven't said directly to raul castro. >> and new pictures just in president obama made a surprise visit to the panama canal on his way here to the summit this morning. plus a new campaign? we are 48 hours away from hillary clinton 2.0, the much anticipated launch of her second run for the white house. >> and i suppose it's only fair to say, don't you some day want to see a woman president of the united states of america? >> good day, everyone i'm andrea mitchell in panama city panama, president obama and cuba's president raul castro will be meeting along the sidelines of a latin american summit today and tomorrow. it is their first substantive

face to face talks as they try to end the last vestages of the cold war. first we have confirmed hillary clinton will be launching her second run for the white house. she's launching it this weekend on social media with an unconventional tour to follow in the early primary and caucus states starting in iowa. i'm joined by my colleague, nbc white house correspondent kristen welker and msnbc political analyst and former senior adviser to president obama, david axelrod. first, kristen, a lot of reporting you've been breaking the news overnight and all been on the phones. this is a new type of hillary clinton launch not just on social media as she did before but they are trying to recast the campaign to be up close and personal. not the inevitable hillary clinton with big rallies but in your living room coming to you. >> that's the exact right way to characterize it up close and

personal. former secretary of state hillary clinton set to announce her campaign for presidential on sunday. we expect that announcement to come at about noon. it is going to be on social media as you point out. she's going to hit the road hitting those early voting states iowa new hampshire and going to be holding small scale events andrea talking to voters one on one, pressing the flesh. of course, critics in 2008 said that she ran like she was in an inevitable nominee. she had these stilled large events with voters and failed to connect with them didn't share her story. you're going to hear more about hillary clinton, her personal story. hillary clinton the mom, the grandmother, she's going to talk about charlotte. she's going to talk about being the former first lady and time in the senate. she'll have to defend her record as secretary of state. a lot of criticism of her

handling the benghazi as well as other incidents but this is going to be a very different campaign in 2016 than we saw in 2008 andrea. >> thanks so much kristen, we'll be talking a lot more about that throughout the program. we'll be back to you in a moment. first to david axelrod, let's talk about hillary clinton 2.0. they posted on "huffington post", a new epilog to hard choices, her paperback book. i wanted to read excerpts and tell me if you think she has the right tone there. just looking at it, she says, i wondered what a quilt of my own life would look like. so many people taught me so much. she's talking about a quilt sent as a baby gift when charlotte was born. now i have one more. charlotte already helped me see the world in new ways there was so much more to do and so many more panels waiting to be filled

in, panels on the quilt. i folded up the quilt and got back to work. that in the new epilog is a big tease what she's going to talk about sunday on noon. is that the way to relaunch hillary clinton? >> as a new grandparent, i can relate what she's talking about -- >> congratulations to you. >> anybody who has a grandchild can speak to that. but kristen had it exactly right. in 2008 she launched this kind of clinton ink, this big jugger not and they recognized that was the wrong way to go. humility is the world of the hour and going and meeting voters and relating to them as human beings and revealing more of herself. hillary clinton is very well known in many ways but in many ways she's not. people don't know what her bark ground was or how she was

raised. they don't know a lot about her. this is a very important part of the exercise. if she can connect with voters that is a very big step forward for her in this march to the nomination. >> now, let me take you back just to last august on august 12th 2014 one of your tweets referring to what she had said about don't do stupid stuff. you said don't do stupid stuff, means stuff like occupying iraq in the first place which was a bad decision. let's say she's going to iowa on monday as the first stop on a very soft up close and personal rollout. isn't she going to face the same type of questions from iowa democrats that helped your candidate, barack obama defeat her so soundly in 2008 in those caucuses, her vote for the war in iraq and since then as secretary of state, the strong hard line approach she took in the military sense on issues

like libya, intervention there, egypt? how does she deal with that? >> she may get some of those questions. remember, the war in iraq was raging in 2007 and 2008. we had 180,000 troops in a much different place because of the policies of this president and she was instrumental in helping with those policies. but my sense is that she's going to get most of her questions about the economy and how it relates to every day people and that's where the center of her message should be. we have an economy that has recovered from the recession but people still feel a great sense of insecurity. there's a sense that work doesn't pay. that the future is not secure for working families and this is the fundamental concern i hear when i travel around the country. i'm sure she'll hear that in iowa as well. this has to be pitched to her ideas how to move the economy forward in a way that's more

inclusive. >> on that point, the economy, isn't she vulnerable on the left in terms of economic principles. she's identified with wall street and was the senator from new york and taken a lot of contributions as did barack obama from wall street firms and the clinton foundation money. now she has elizabeth warren as recently as yesterday telling charlie rose on cbs, let's see what she says. no ringing endorsement from elizabeth warren who says she's not a candidate but represents a broad spectrum of support on the progressive wing in the democratic party. hillary has to meet that challenge. and it really matters what she says. if she has good solid ideas on how to rebuild the middle class and rebuild economic mobility in this country and take on some of the unfairness that we've seen then i think people will flock to her if she doesn't have answers to those questions, she

won't. senator warren is using her position within the party to prod the clinton campaign and prod hillary clinton to answer these questions. i'm pretty sure they've been thinking about this for last many months and she'll have answers when she hits the ground in iowa on tuesday. >> david axe elrod, thank you so much for being with us. and joining me now here in panama city congressman joaquin castro. thanks very much we'll talk politics but i want to talk about the reason we're here this latin american summit the first one attended by cuba because of the change in u.s. policy. you have a cuban-american background. >> i'm mexican-american, same last name -- >> mexican-american, but you understand the real divisions in the hispanic and latino communities about this. >> absolutely. you know and for 50 years, i

think in many ways out of deference, many of it in florida, the united states kept a long distance from cuba. but president obama i think has struck out -- struck out to position the united states by normalizing dip plolomatic relations, normalizing diplomatic relations so the day when the castro regime is gone in cuba -- bear in mind fidel castro is -- and his brother is 83 that time will be soon, that they'll democratize cuba and bring it into the folds of the world. >> was it right of the white house to sanction venezuela, in speaks to some here very concerned and president mad uro,

no hero to people believing in human rights and good economics, but in this part of the world, he is coming with all of these petitions to try to stage a show and he and the venezuelans have been the key ally for cuba all these years when they were so isolated. >> sure, and you know there's no question that there's some sensitivities among the latin-american nations about the sanctions issued by the united states against venezuela. i joined i will yan na ross letinen in helping pass the sanctions. the united states has sent a strong message that it will stand up to right wing governments or left wing governments when they o press their opinion. i think the sanctions were in keeping with that spirit. >> are you at all concerned that the progress towards normalization with havana has slowed down? it had been hoped the embassies could be open by now. we expect the president to act

on recommending to congress that cuba be taken off the terror list for one thing, is it approach to take cuba off the terror list so they can get banking privileges in the u.s. and start moving towards lifting some of the regulatory sanctions? >> i believe it is. it's time to do that. i hope that the congress will agree so that we can open up our embassy and normalize relations. i don't think that the embargo will be gone before the castro regime is gone but i think the united states will be absolutely ready so that we're not outmaneuvered by countries like china or russia when that political moment comes along. >> is this a moment for the u.s. we have been the outlier. >> we're reengaged in cuba we've taken a harder line with ven swalezuela but committing

money -- >> i have to ask about politics because hillary clinton is the big story announcing on sunday and heading to iowa and new hampshire and other early states. what about her record as secretary of state, her record on economic issues. is she the right candidate? >> i do think she'll be the democratic nominee. i think people want to see a competition. that's natural. it is a competition and not a coronation. she's go in as the most experienced candidate in the field. >> i wanted to play a little bit of elizabeth warren yesterday with charlie rose. >> we have to see first of all, if she declares and what she says she wants to run on. i think that's really the interesting question -- >> you know her. >> i'll tell you where i stand on all of the key issues it's up to others to say whether they stand there or well some different place.

i'll tell you where a stand i stand on minimum wage -- >> name one thing you would like to see hillary clinton do and say and commit to that she has not committed to? >> well i'd like to see her address all of these issues. >> so that is more than noncommittal there, elizabeth warren is really a prod to hillary clinton to move left. >> i think senator war enhas been an incredible champion for working americans and middle class families. and she's -- she's serving a very useful purpose in making sure that the democratic agenda is inclusive of the working class and middle class folks. i will say that hillary clinton has spoken very strongly about income inequality the wage gap, pay equity for women and i think now that she's going to become an official candidate, you'll see more discussion from her on those things. >> there's a lot of talk about julian castro your twin

brother, being a potential running mate on the ticket -- >> of course if you ask me i would put him on but i'm saying that as a brother. no i think my brother would be great at whatever he does. but he's focused on doing a great job at hud. >> of course he is the hud secretary, but a rising star as are you. >> thank you. >> we thank you for being with us here at the latin american summit. we'll have more from panama coming up and for now, let's send it back to kristen welker in d.c. for the other news making headlines today. >> andrea thanks great conversation about panama and 2016. we want to look now at the other big story we're following at this hour in illinois search crews are looking for any possible survivors of last night's deadly tornado. the twister ripped through the small town of fairdale killing one person and virtually flattening more than 50 buildings. kevin tibbles is on the ground. we're just getting our first look at the full scope of the damage there. what are you seeing and what's the very latest?

>> reporter: well, i'm standing obviously in front of one of those buildings that one would consider if not at least flattened it is probably not salvageable. you mentioned one person died in this town. that is correct. the first responders have gone through pretty much every location twice already and taken a look from the air. they are now saying they are also going to be going a third time now that the sun is up and day has begun, they are getting flooded with volunteers who want to help here. the real situation is that the authorities are keeping as many people out of this town as possible at this time because they want to make sure they've got com-ed crews and make sure the power is off and electrical lines down are safe and not charged. they want to make sure they go through everything meticulously to make sure any people who are unaccounted for are not buried in the rubble here. we had a situation just down the road last night when the roof of

a restaurant collapsed. inside that restaurant 12 people found shelter in the basement and it took several hours to get them out. fortunately none of them had serious injuries. but the situation here in fairdale is dire today. it is a very small town. it's a town that only has a volunteer fire department and today it is being volunteers across the state and several nearby counties and now they have the job of salvaging and somehow rectifying what has happened here overnight. kristen. >> kevin, that incredible scene of wreckage behind you tells the story very tragic story. thank you for that report. we appreciate it. still to come an emotional meeting. the family of a father killed by a south carolina police officer embraces the man who caught the whole incident on video. first, we go back to panama and andrea mitchell for more on the historic meeting we expect to see today could mean for america's relationship with cuba

and other nations around the region. this is andrea mitchell reports only on msnbc. before larry instantly transferred money from his bank of america savings account to his merrill edge retirement account. before he opened his first hot chocolate stand calling winter an "underserved season". and before he quit his friend's leaf-raking business for "not offering a 401k." larry knew the importance of preparing for retirement. that's why when the time came he counted on merrill edge to streamline his investing and help him plan for the road ahead. that's the power of streamlined connections. that's merrill edge and bank of america. bring us your aching and sleep deprived. bring us those who want to feel well rested. aleve pm. the only one to combine a sleep aid... plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. be a morning person again, with aleve pm. when it comes to good nutrition...i'm no expert. that would be my daughter -- hi dad. she's a dietitian. and back when i wasn't eating right, she got me drinking boost. it's got a great taste and it helps give me

>> this is santana. feidin santana. >> thank you, god. thank you, god. thank you, lord. bless you, god. >> you're looking at exclusive video of an emotional reunion between the family of walter scott and the man who shot the cell phone video that captured scott's killing by a police officer. this hour we have new information about walter scott's problems with the law.

nbc news obtained court documents that show he owed more than $18,000 in child support. and we're getting our first look at dramatic dash cam video of the traffic stop in south carolina that led to scott's death. gabe gutierrez has been on this story since the very beginning in north charleston with more. i want to start with the new details i just mapped out. walter scott owed more than $18,000 in child support and bench warrant for his arrest. what are you learning about how this may have impacted his decision to run and the investigation into general? >> reporter: hi, there, kristen. good afternoon. that is the big question right now, did he run from that car because he wanted to avoid jail time? earlier his family had said that he did -- he probably wanted to avoid jail time because he had been arrested before for owing child support. however, the fact is we just don't know for sure. the one person that might be able to shed light is the passenger that was in his car and that passenger was not named

in the incident report but we do know that police briefly detained that passenger. so far that person is not publicly come forward. i do want to talk more about that bench warrant. scott's last payment according to court documents was on july 20th of 2012 and the bench warrant tb active since january 16th of 2013. it initially started out that he owed $7800 in child support and that number continued to accrue at the time of his death on saturday owed more than $18,000 in child support. >> incredible. certainly part of the investigation, gabe, i want to talk about the newly released dash cam video you obtained. if you look it appears to be a routine traffic stop apparently over a broken brakelight. you see officer slager walking towards the drive window. let's look at what happens next.

>> so a little bit more background, officer slager asks for paperwork on the car which scott doesn't have and he runs away. what is law enforcement saying today about the importance of this video. what's the takeaway here? >> well the local police this is being investigated by the state. they are the ones that released that video yesterday after prosecutors had reviewed it. they did put out a statement late yesterday saying they did have concerns and suspicions about the shooting basically as soon as it happened. there were inconsistencies with the evidence that was found at the scene. with regards to that dash cam video it starts to give us a clearer picture of what happened but doesn't say exactly what happened. it's significant that the cell phone video that initially came out a few days ago, that showed the actual shooting. this dash cam video shows the traffic stop and what may have led to the shooting but there's

a big spot in between. this is what we don't know. whe don't know what happened after scott ran away from that car and before that cell phone video was taken by the bystander. it's unclear exactly what happened in between that time. >> all right, gabe i know you continued to look into all of this. thank you for great reporting, we really appreciate it. and coming up we'll have much more on the historic summit of the americas in panama. plus, the countdown is onto the next hillary clinton presidential campaign. how will this time be different? we'll explore all of that. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" only on msnbc. we'll be right back after a quick break. hing smarter. ♪ ♪ some come here to build something stronger. others come to build something faster... something safer... something greener. something the whole world can share. people come to boeing to do many different things. but it's always about

about between president obama and castro the only the second time leaders of the united states and cuba have spoken in more than 50 years. first back in december when they talked about normalizing relations. setting stage for somethis face to face meeting. last time the two spoke was in december, just before announcing that they were going to normalize relations between the two countries. joining me now, former deputy assistant of state under hillary clinton and former ambassador to uruguay. this new relationship has been slower to come together the courtship was all great and then the talks themselves over the last couple of months have really slowed down what had been hoped to be the opening of embassies, what do you think are the real sticking points? >> the fact that the countries

are speaking that the officials are having continuous dialogues i think is a major event. so i wouldn't necessarily call it a -- i wouldn't say they are stuck, i would say it's a process -- the announcement was a significant gesture. there have been decades of layers of diplomatic problems between the two countries, economic sanctions. so it's an ongoing process that it's going to take time to resolve. i think they've done an important -- they've taken important steps. there's a lot more to do. i would be patient and i think the next couple of days you're likely going to see important announcements. >> important announcements including what the president has signaled his recommendation that cuba be taken off the list of nations that support terror. does they belong or not belong on that list?

>> the president has signaled that he believes they do not belong on that list. it's a process of deliberation that takes place in the u.s. government with several agencies involved. i know that our officials are taking this seriously and doing work to try to resolve -- >> how important is that to cuba? >> it is very important. when i was in charge of the policy of negotiations and the like it always came up as a political issue but also economic issue for them. i'm certain without being present in these latest conversations that they are bringing it up constantly. >> and one of the -- not so small issues is they have not been able to get banking privileges for the last 18 months or so in the u.s. for diplomats, either in new york at the u.n. or washington. >> yes. >> because banks say they are on the terror list and we worry about being sanctioned by the treasury. >> right, so you have the state sponsored list and significant

sanctions via the statute and law. even though this issue might be resolved. you'll still have to deal with the congressional issues concerning the financial sanctions that are very important and that are not going to be resolved overnight. >> the president has a lot of leeway using his executive authority to make it easier for tourists to go. but that could all end if relations are not fully normalized because with the new president, if the new president, republican or democrat has a different position, that's all a matter of what any chief executive wants to do. >> that's right, it's within the executive authority to administer the regulations and the president has taken steps within his executive authority, of course another president can change his position and go back to what we had before president obama was in office. >> you worked very closely with hillary clinton when she was secretary of state. she's about to announce her intention to run for the white house again. what can you tell us from your

insights as to what kind of chief executive she would be and how per policies would be any different? >> she's -- i have all but respect and admiration for the secretary. she's a very strong leader and very thoughtful with respect to latin america, i know she cares tremendously for the region and has a lot of very good relationships with leaders throughout the continent. with respect to cuba she was always very constructive and thoughtful about how we can do things differently and be ideally much more better partner with the region in terms of moving cuba and helping the cuban people move towards the right direction. and i think she will keep that policy. >> and cuban-americans have traditionally been among the most active voices. they certainly have dominated elected officials in both parties actually. what do you know -- from your knowledge of the latino community, what do you think is the evolution of the

cuban-american community generationally towards this normalization? >> polls have indicated they have moved forward in terms of being more positive towards the opening. there are a lot of cuban-americans here at this summit trying to engage with the cuban authorities and cuban counterparts, is very historic encounters are taking place right here. not amongst government folks but amongst regular cubans both from the island and miami. >> not all friendly -- >> no that's correct. that's correct. that's the public dispute but you also have a whole lot of constructive dialogue also taking place that is not as public. that's also something that's important. >> former ambassador to uruguay, thank you. >> off next we're off to iowa and this weekend is going to be very busy for the hawk eye state as the hillary clinton campaign of 2016 gets into gear.

mark you've been delving into this as well as kelly. what do you see as the new hillary clinton approach? how different is this going to be? the last time she did start online she went out to early states but this is going to be a different kind of hillary campaign. >> i think one of the biggest differences we're going to see is an attitude on not taking anything for granted at all. andrea, you look back at one of the biggest fundamental mistakes, they wanted to ignore the caucus contest and said it's really where the primaries matter and didn't realize there were a lot of delegates you could cap by winning caucus contests and then able to rack up tons of delegates and ended up having more on super tuesday because he paid more attention to the caucus contest. the vibe you're getting from clinton world, they want to take everything seriously. they are not going to let their guard down. have the perception that they

are taking something for granted. >> and mark what about marco rubio, planning to announce monday in miami a planeplaying to his base at the cuban-american freedom tower, former cuban refugee center. does she step on his message? >> it does look like a little bit of a stepping on his rollout there. and of course, marco rubio has experience on people stepping on him. it was in the 2012 republican convention he gave a very well received speech and all of the attention to turn to clint eastwood and dialogue with a chair at that time. when you chat with his people they love this. they believe there's going to be able to be a contrast between marco rubio and hillary clinton and he's going to be set up to make the contrast on monday night. >> and kelly o'donnell, rand paul you were following him at his launch in louisville.

what about his positioning himself? he's out there in iowa today as the chief an tagnist to hillary clinton? >> i say rand paul and carly fiorina are the most willing to aggressively go after hillary clinton. but not just on policy issues about her truflness and level of accomplishment. we'll see more of that and rand paul is a declared candidate so he leads the way on that. in talking with people in clinton's world, they are telling me part of her rollout will be a much more toned down approach than what i saw with rand paul. he had more than 1,000 people. he had a big, big speech. he had to introduce himself to potential voters. hillary clinton has global name i.d. i'm told her rollout will be less about her, more about voters, that she'll be doing coffee shops and diners not big

venues or gymnasiums and has a better way of connecting in some places small places where she can talk to people personally and not do the big, big speech. >> kelly with her capitol hill correspondent hat on, what about this opening to cuba? you've got two presidential candidates, ted cruz and marco rubio with cuban-american background. how controversial is it as the president takes cuba off the terror list, that does have to go to congress. my head count is they don't have the votes to overturn that. >> particularly marco rubio in his role as subcommittee chairman has power in this when it comes to actions with cuba. he's really out front talking about the fact he believes this is the wrong policy and that cuba has not earned the kinds of easements that we have seen the obama administration try to make. this is strong territory for conservatives and when you talked about where marco rubio

will announce the elis island for cuban-americans, expect that to be a big part of the theme as will the whole iran issue with rubio and cruz have positions on the key committees that in their day jobs next week they'll be able to be a counterweight acting in role as senators but as candidates as well. expect the rhetoric to be sharp and heated. >> kelly o'donnell and mark murray thank you so much. a lot more to come live from panama as we continue with president obama and castro preparing for their big meeting. here's how some young cubans feel what the change in relations with the united states could mean for them. >> my parents, 20 years ago, they didn't think about it because 20 years ago it was absolutely impossible. so now as a young girl i feel responsible for this. i feel responsible for the future. so i keep positive.

backwards. >> this is very personal for me. it's not just political. it's not just public. >> although we weren't able to shatter that highest hardest glass ceiling this time thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it. >> will things be different this time? joining me now, ann gearan who covers hillary clinton for "washington post" and sam stein and nbc white house correspondent kristen welker. sam, first to you, we saw a new epilog to "hard choices" her book for paperback edition and it gives a very big clue or tease as to how she's going to characterize it and talks about her being a mother and grandmother and baby charlotte, when chelsea was born the quilt with the memories that was given to them as a baby gift for

charlotte and how she's hoping to add another patch to the quilt and work will go on. that basically says how she's casting this. last time she played down her gender. this time she's certainly playing to it. >> totally. first of all, i had flashbacks with that video montage, but the epilog she posted on her website, i was struck by well over half of it was about personal life. about half or less was about her time as secretary of state. it goes to show you as you just mentioned, she is much more invested in telling a personalized story and playing up her gender but her role as a grandmother and symbolism that has and what it can bring in terms of life outlook to potential presidential bid. i think that's going to extend itself to the campaign. i expect her talking to people to have a much more folksy demeanor on the trail.

don't expect big huge media events, we'll look at living rooms and person to person meetings trying to strike an intimate figure than she did during 2008. >> and ann gearan you as well as i covered hillary clinton as secretary of state. she is going to face questions about the policies she supported, egypt and libya and interventionist policies and of course benghazi and e-mails. that's also part of the portfolio. >> oh, absolutely. i mean republicans have been trying since the last months of her tenure to make her time at state a potential political liability for her. they'll continue to do that. there will be a hearing later this spring at which she's expected to be called as a witness. partly to talk about benghazi and the e-mail flap and in many ways to showcase the fact that

republicans can still make great hay out of certainly the benghazi episode but also many of the other potentially damaging things that happened to her or decisions made by her at state. but i think also she is going to try to use her time at state to show herself as a policy maker in her own right, air decision maker and executive and leader. largely later on in the campaign, the early phase as many of us have been talking about here today, will be very much small scale, very human scale, trying to get away from that card board cutout image of hillary and actually show her as a real person. >> and kristen welker that is not easy in the current campaign environment, she can do a lot of social media. once she gets out there to move that whole entourage, it's hard to not be surrounded by the --

all of the baggage that comes with a modern day presidential campaign. >> that's absolutely right. i think that is why you're going to see her really try to make use of social media. this time around in a way she didn't back in 2008. look, i've been talking to a number of democrats who privately expressed some concern about the fact that there's not a more robust primary field. they are concerned that could make former secretary of state clinton weaker in a general election. in fact, white house press secretary josh earnest acknowledged that president obama was a stronger general election candidate because he had so much quote/unquote bruises from the primary tee election. that's why you'll see the clinton campaign try to shed this air of inevitability and reach out to voters one on one. one challenge for clinton is to get the progressive branch of her party on board. you saw a strong push for elizabeth warren to run.

clinton is really going to have to try to get those voters on board in a robust way. clinton -- andrea? >> very briefly, ann gearan it is hard to reintroduce yourself when someone like hillary clinton has been known since the early 1990s. >> it's sort of ridiculous on its face reintroducing someone to america someone who has 100% name identification in america and that's what they are going to try to do. try to she her in a different light more than as a different person. >> okay, ann gearan and sam stein, get your bags packed and kristen welker and much more ahead from panama. this is "andrea mitchell reports," only on msnbc. how much protein does your dog food have? 18 percent? 20? purina one true instinct has 30. active dogs crave nutrient-dense food. so we made purina one true instinct. learn more at purinaone.com

before we leave panama it is the world's most famous

shortcut, as we mentioned president obama made a surprise stop at the panama canal earlier today, just about five miles from where i'm sitting, a tug of war for control of the canal has been the source of political power struggles for u.s. presidents for more than a century. in 1904 the united states took over construction of the canal and in 1906 roosevelt got his hands dirty during a visit to the site. the construction of the canal was completed in 1914 a landmark achiefment for american engineering and economic power on september 7th 1977 jimmy carter signed the treaty to hand over control of the canal to panama. with the guarantee that the canal would remain neutral permanently. after a brutal senate vote any handover led by a future president and carter rival ronald reagan. he paid a big price for that stance in the 1980 election when he lost to reagan.

that does it for this edition of ats andrea mitchell reports. follow the show online and on facebook and twitter. msnbc live with thomas roberts comes up next. i'm meteorologist bill karins, on the heels of the severe weather outbreak and monster tornado that rolled through illinois we'll see a quiet weekend. a chance of a few storms along the gulf coast, san antonio to houston and additional storms in north texas and oklahoma on sunday. in the most part, most of us will have a great weekend. scotts ez seed uses the finest seed, fertilizer, and natural mulch that holds water so you can grow grass anywhere! seed your lawn. seed it! i'm brian vickers, nascar® driver. i'm kevin nealon comedian.

and i'm arnold palmer, professional golfer. know what we have in common? we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. me, when i had a blood clot in my leg that could have traveled to my lungs. that's why i took xarelto®, too. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. i took xarelto® for afib... an irregular heartbeat that can lead to a stroke from a blood clot. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. hey, well i'm glad we got together. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. tell me about it. let's see, golf clinic, or blood clinic? ooh, that's a tough one. not this time. not with xarelto®. anything else? i'll have another arnold palmer. ok. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor

as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. you may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost. 73% of americans try... ...to cook healthy meals. yet up to 90% fall short in getting key nutrients
