tv Politics Nation MSNBC April 14, 2015 3:00pm-4:01pm PDT
3:00 pm
president of the steelworkers international, good to have you on. that's the ed show. "politics nation" with reverend al sharpton starts now. good evening. we start with developing news. headquarter in iowa facing voters for the first time since announcing her campaign. it's a big test but the theme today, small. starting with a low-key visit to a coffee shop she met kids and their families and she did her best to avoid the media frenzy. clinton's now famous scooby doo van sending reporters sprinting for a glimpse of the candidate. it drove right by headed to a roundtable with students at a community college where clinton talked about why she's running. >> the deck is still stacked in
3:01 pm
favor of those already at the top. there's something wrong with that. there's something wrong when ceos make 300 times more than the typical worker. there's something wrong when american workers keep getting mr. more productive as they have and as i saw a few minutes ago is very possible because of education and skills training but that productivity is not matched in their paychecks. i'm running for president because i think that americans and their families need a champion and i want to be that champion. >> today's event was very different from clinton's first iowa trip 8 years ago when she held a traditional campaign event, a rally with hundreds of cheering supporters. >> i'm running for president, and i'm in it to win it. >> in 2008 she finished third in the iowa caucus but now she's starting out with a
3:02 pm
campaign launch that looks and feels very different. joining me now is amanda amanda rinteria hillary for america, in her first interview since clinton's announcement. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> what's the strategy with this more low-key rollout that we're seeing now? >> this is really about meeting people where they are. we know that we've got to work hard. we've got to earn it all, and that's what she's doing. she likes this stuff. she's out there in the van getting to know people getting to see people getting to connect with them. that really does make a difference for our campaign and who we want to be and who she is. >> she said she wants to be a champion for the american people people.
3:03 pm
by her doing this van ride and this tour of iowa is this showing, in terms of the visuals, that she really wants to champion the people on the ground? >> that's right. and when you look at her first video, it was about other people. it's always been about other people and the fight on the ground and that's really what she's doing here not just on the commercial but in listening with people and meeting with people. it's really about them and that's about a good part of this and she's enjoying it. we're enjoying it. we're going to keep doing this. this is how you earn a vote one by one, person by person and that's what she's doing. >> marco rubio used his announcement to go after hillary clinton saying she's a leader from yesterday. listen to this. >> now just yesterday a leader from yesterday began a campaign for president by promising to take us back to yesterday.
3:04 pm
yesterday is over. >> i mean this is going to be apparently the main line or one of the main lines of the g.o.p. how is the campaign going to respond to that? >> she's talking about the future, and when you do look at yesterday you look at all the fights she's been waging long before this campaign. whether it was helping kids make sure that they got education, disabled kids and she went door to door. she's been fighting for healthcare for kids and for moms and for women. that's who she is and what we're working on now what she's working about and talking about is the future. so when i hear something like that you say, what is she talking about, what is she doing and by the way, what has she done to prove that she's always been there fighting for people. i know she looks forward to talking a lot more about what the future holds and how we want to be a part of that with every day people on the ground.
3:05 pm
>> the republican and right wing attacks i'm sure are expected but we also see some progressives like elizabeth warren and mayor bill de blasio of new york have been noncommittal about the campaign. here's what senator bernie sanders said today. >> why don't you tell me what hillary clinton is campaigning on. you and i and the american people don't know. it's premature. i know what the issues are and what we have to do. i can't comment on secretary clinton until we know what she's saying. >> how does the campaign energize progressives like elizabeth warren and bernie sanders? >> she's always been fighting for folks and i think when you look at her record, when you look at. what she's doing and how she's doing it there's going to be no question whether or not she's fighting for progressive values and people on the ground. she's talking about people in the middle class and making sure that we're helping people stay ahead, get ahead, move forward,
3:06 pm
and you're going to hear a lot more about that from her. i'm completely confident that she's going to be in the right place and it's going to be exciting people and from what we've heard from this rollout is people understand exactly where she comes from and who she's fighting for. >> if she were to be successful she would be the first woman president in the history of this country. how much of that historic significance is the campaign going to use? >> i think it's out there. i think what we got back from young girls and everyone who has seen this happen is they're seeing someone who can do it someone who had the qualifications, the hard work and is really there. so we do see an excitement about it. at the same time, she's fighting for everybody. the idea that everyone deserves an opportunity and that everyone should be able to reach their god-given potential, that's about everybody coming to the table including women, and you do see women reaching out and getting excited but you see folks across the board doing the same thing. we're really excited about that
3:07 pm
and she is too. you're seeing it on the ground as they go chasing the scooby van. >> the scooby van. i know from my days running, iowa is about touching as many people individually as you can. a lot of people analyzing that never ran in iowa. amanda, national political director of the clinton campaign, thank you for your time. >> thank you for having me here. i want to bring in former pennsylvania governor and dnc chair ed rendell and msnbc's abbey huntsman. abbey, you're a republican. from your side of the aisle, how did the clinton rollout strategy look? >> how does it look? i found the video to be beautifully edited. it wasn't about her at all. it was about american families when they are happy, when they are working, the country is working. i thought that all played out very well. she has the right tone there, wanting to be the champion of every day americans. the problem that i see that
3:08 pm
could potentially happen here is she has to potentially be something that she's not. she has to relate to the every day american, which she's not. she's not the average american. she has to be someone that's outside of washington which she's also not. she has to be careful not to be the mitt romney this time around. when we see her driving in this scooby van or ordering burritos these are things she wasn't doing a year ago. as voters try to figure out can i relate to hillary clinton, will they see this as being authentic, as phony, that's why the progressive loves someone like elizabeth warren. right away you know she's authentic. she could order a burrito and no one would question that. this is going to continue to be a challenge. >> governor hillary clinton may have been successful at some point in her life but she was an average american once and she was an ordinary american once. won't that be hard for them to
3:09 pm
make her mitt romney? >> sure. she's fought for everything she's gotten. she's spoken for women. her speech in china was an incredibly brave and progressive speech. her championing healthcare back in 1994 remember universal healthcare as a progressive issue, who was the first person to try to bring universal healthcare to america? hillary clinton. progressives have to be mature about this too. is hillary clinton going to agree with progressives on every issue? no. but is she going to be mostly in the progressive camp and do something about income inequality raise the minimum wage if she becomes president, absolutely. so i think she's off to a great start. i think she is a real person. she's proved that throughout every step of her career. listening to her when she started out running for the senate you know that because you're a new yorker, it was
3:10 pm
brilliant and resonated with new yorkers upstate. i think she's off to a great start. i think she's having fun. if i would give one piece of advice to hillary clinton, two years ago when she was thinking about this i said if you do it have fun. have fun. make it a crusade. >> but abbey, one of the things that is never fun is the media. i mean she's going to have intense -- >> that chase today was unbelievable. >> look at this video of reporters chasing hillary clinton's van. it went viral. it played out on msnbc. watch this. >> they're going around to the back so we're not going to -- you can see the media running behind me here to chase the scooby van. she's going around to the back. >> wow. >> we'll see her very soon. >> guy in the orange pants is pretty quick. alex i'm looking at these people. wow. orange pants, he's really outnumbered now. >> abbey, has any candidate ever
3:11 pm
faced this kind of media scrutiny and frenzy that mrs. clinton is about to face? >> i've never quite seen anything like that. it reminds me of when my dad was running. the governor can probably speak to this too. there are reporters everywhere and they will do everything they can to catch you. i remember rachel maddow she had a hood on trying to get my dad. she waited for the right moment grabbed my dad. you've got to do your job as a reporter in these situations. we know that hillary clinton has an iffy relationship with the press. my advice would be you have to embrace it. this is the life that it is. you got to take it on. it's like the "snl"s of the world with kate mckinnon who has been able to nail hillary clinton. i would say go on there with her because she's painted in a light very much out of touch. go on "snl," have some fun,
3:12 pm
laugh at yourself. >> or do what i did, have "snl" come to you. three republicans have already announced they're running in 2016. more than ten others look interested in running. governor, one of the few things that units them is their opposition to hillary clinton. don't these candidates need to articulate what they're for, not just what they're against? >> sure. first off, they've got to win the semifinal and the semifinal is the republican nomination. they've got to win that nomination first and they better articulate what they're for and it's a very difficult task because your typical primary republican voter as you know tends conservative. you've got to appeal to them at the same time realizing that if you are successful and get the nomination you're back in the fall where the average voter is not so conservative and radical. it's a tough line for them to
3:13 pm
walk. they can bash hillary because that resonates with the base and hillary -- i think abbey is right. hillary's got to have fun and let that roll off her back and not respond to every piece of criticism. but the republicans have a tough task as well to win the nomination without alien nating independent voters in the fall. it's a tough task and mitt romney failed. >> abbey, obviously they're trying to say that hillary clinton -- there was an article in politico today -- is not your average american but average americans are different in different regions, different genders, different races. isn't it kind of risky to act like average american is a mono length? and who on the republican side has the ability to understand the diversity of average americans better than hillary clinton? >> i think we like to judge people on the surface sometimes and they're often much deeper
3:14 pm
than they appear. when rubio talks about not wanting to go back to policies of the past he's also hitting on someone like jeb bush who given the rules he cannot be a vice-president for jeb or vice-versa. a lot of these folks on the right are going to have to duke it out against each other. they're all trying to be the man or the women of the people and reach out to the middle class. as the governor is saying this is going to be a challenge because in the primary they're going to be fuld so far right but then you have to have a message that's broad enough that appeals to the average american. when it comes to gay rights for example, on science, immigration is a huge one. whoever the nominee is is ultimately going to have to change -- >> the easy ones climate change, the easy ones they're not doing well. governor rendell, abbey huntsman i'm going to have to leave it there. thank you for your time. catch abbey on the cycle at 3:00 p.m. right here on msnbc. straight ahead, collision
3:15 pm
2016. hillary clinton's vision to help every day americans versus the 1% theory of economics. we're live in iowa. plus the senate took a vote last night, so what is the holdup for loretta lynch's nomination for attorney general? mitch mcconnell talked about it today, and it doesn't pass the smell test. a tulsa, oklahoma deputy charged in a fatal shooting tonight turns himself in. growing questions from the man's family. please stay with us.
3:16 pm
3:17 pm
3:18 pm
review that historic agreement and potentially vote on lifting sanctions. the white house initially opposed similar legislation but now says president obama would sign this compromised bill. it heads next to the full senate for a vote. ...and takes the wheel right from your very hands... ...this isn't that car. the first and only car with direct adaptive steering. ♪ the 328 horsepower q50 from infiniti.
3:19 pm
3:20 pm
wealthiest americans need to take from younger, hard working americans? >> my parents achieved what came to be known as the american dream. the problem is now too many americans are starting to doubt whether achieving that dream is still possible. >> restore a sense that everybody has the chance to rise up in this wonderful country of ours. >> they're talking the talk but they're sure not walking the walk. chris christie spent today talking about scaling back social security and medicare. jeb bush is getting his economic advice from the guy who designed his brother's tax cuts for the rich. and marco rubio is still all about repealing the affordable care act. and think about this today's equal payday meaning the average american woman would have to work until today to earn what a man earned by the end of december. all of these republican contenders either voted against
3:21 pm
fair pay bills or vetoed them. here's what jeb bush said last fall when asked about an equal pay bill. he didn't even know what it was. voters next year will demand better answers and better policies. joining me now are e.j. deon from the "washington post" and msnbc's joy reed live at the clinton event in iowa. thank you both for being here. >> thanks. >> e.j. do republicans think voters will buy their newfound interest in fairness and equality? >> before we deride lip service which a lot of this is i think it's really important that suddenly economic inequality is an issue that republicans have
3:22 pm
to talk about. ten years ago a lot of democrats were worried that if they talked about economic inequality it would talk too liberal. now this issue is important to enough americans that they are trying to deal with it themselves. what you said in the setup piece is right about them saying one thing and not necessarily doing it when they vote on legislation or act as governors. i think one of the tests is going to be this budget they are pushing through congress which pushes not against inequality but actually would make us more inequal. marco rubio has taken some steps supplementing the pay of low income folks, but it's packaged as part of a bill that we give a lot more money to very wealthy folks, so they have a lot of explaining to do. but i still think it's better for the country that everybody at least feels some obligation to talk about inequality finally. >> joy, you're in iowa where hillary clinton was making a
3:23 pm
pitch for middle class policies. what was the reaction like? >> i think hillary clinton's message was received very well. she had a pretty friendly audience of students as well as a high school principal and members and leaders of the community because the message was really about the middle class. it was about making college affordable, allowing a single mom to be able to afford to take classes at a place like kirkwood community college and also hold down a job. she was talking about bread and butter issues and issues it was difficult to take issue with. i think because she was in that mode that listening to her mode where she was interested in what the people here had to say and she was listening as much as she was talking, i would say that her launch here was actually very well received. >> e.j. no matter what republicans say, we already have a good idea of what their eventual nominees' policies would be. paul krugman made that point in this week's "new york times." the democratic candidate will
3:24 pm
want to protect entitlements, the republican will want to cut them. the democrat will want to keep the affordable care act. the republican will repeal it. the democrat will raise taxes on the wealthiest the republican will want to cut them. and while the democratic candidate will try to fight climate change the republicans will try to block climate change bills. it's pretty stark differences, isn't it e.j.? >> i think that in the last couple of elections we have seen the starkest differences between the partyies that we've seen in a long time because the republicans have moved well to the right of where they used to be just to take two of those issues. back in the '90s, a lot of republicans were pushing healthcare bills that looked a bit like the one that president obama signed. now they're against it. a lot of republicans as recently as 2008-2009 were saying climate change is a problem, we have to deal with it. now they can't talk about it
3:25 pm
because there's a kind of veto power in the republican party from the oil and gas industry and others that you can't talk about climate change. i thought that krugman column was good in another respect, which is that in campaigns we talk a lot about sort of presentation and i'm sure we're going to hear an awful lot about how hillary clinton dresses irrelevant stuff like that when the differences, the issues that matter to people are very stark and krugman suggested and i agree that that's what we need to focus on. >> joy, let's get back to iowa. i want to play something hillary clinton said about inequality in this country. listen to this. >> there's something wrong when hedge fund managers pay lower tax rates than nurses or the truckers that i saw on i-80 as i was driving here over the last two days. and there's something wrong when students and their families have to go deeply into debt to be able to get the education and
3:26 pm
skills they need in order to make the best of their own lives. >> hillary is sounding a lot like president obama, joy, but she's talking about unfair tax rates, but republicans don't want hedge fund managers to pay more. won't that be a difference in this election? they won't back up their tack with inequality -- about inequality? >> yeah and i think it's interesting that as e.j. said the whole terms of the debate have moved to a much more progressive playing field so that you have hillary clinton who if you remember a few short years ago, the clintons represented the new democrats which were the democrats who were trying to make the democratic party more sent truss, more conservative basically but even she now is talking a lot more like barack obama when she talks about middle class economics and she said we've come a long way from digging out of this recession and i don't want to see the people who disagree with our
3:27 pm
strategy of getting out of this hole taking over. she didn't name republicans by name but that does set up what we were talking about. you're going to have republicans talking about inequality but they're still selling a package of what they would call reforms. that's going to be a substantive debate and i think hillary clinton will be on a more progressive side of than she probably would have been five or ten years ago. >> i'm going to have to leave it there. joy, did i see a lady in a pink sweater and a black and white dress running behind the scooby van? that's not your image, joy. >> i was inside the building. i wasn't running. >> thank you both for your time tonight. >> good to be with you. >> thank you. still ahead, growing outrage over the g.o.p.'s refusal to vote on the loretta lynch nomination. we'll tell you what senator mitch mcconnell claims is holding up the vote. also a 73-year-old reserve

developing news tonight, an update on that shooting in tulsa, oklahoma. a reserved sheriff's deputy says he accidently shot a suspect who later died at the hospital. 73-year-old robert bates turned himself in today after being charged with second degree manslaughter. he posted bond and was released. body cam video shows the moments leading up to what the reserve deputy says was a mistake. he grabbed a gun instead of a taser. warning, this video is disturbing. >> get on your stomach now!
3:32 pm
[ shot ] >> i shot him, i'm sorry. >> he shot me! he shot me! >> bates' attorney says they'll fight the manslaughter charge in court, while the family of the victim, eric harris wants to know how such a mistake could happen. >> you've got to see, there's no way an officer can get this confused for this. >> you'll see that mr. bates has a yellow taser strapped to his chest. he has a 357 revolver in his right hand. >> this still frame appears to show the taser the family's lawyers are referring to. it's a story that's still raising lots of questions. we'll be right back.

3:35 pm
3:36 pm
second day of work after vacation, so where is the loretta lynch vote for attorney general? she has the votes, so senator mitch mcconnell, what's the holdup today? >> we've been reaching out to our friends to work with them to end the democratic filibuster of this human rights legislation. the senate can pass this bipartisan bill right away and as soon as that happens we'll turn to the loretta lynch nomination. >> oh, maybe then you'll turn to the lynch nomination. he's refusing to bring lynch's nomination to a vote until democrats pass an anti-trafficking bill with controversial anti-abortion language. today senator curran will offer an alternative that will change some language, but none of this matters. forget tieing or changing anything to the bill. it's time to put lynch up for a
3:37 pm
clean vote. she's waited 157 days and it's not hard. just last night the senate unanimously confirmed its first judge. look at that, schedule a vote and take a vote it's not a hard concept. but as republicans play politics in fantasy world, in reality is having a real effect. the justice department is in partial limbo after loretta lynch awaits confirmation. major decisions are on hold. so forget the talk forget the politics, and schedule a vote now. joining me now are congress woman karen bass democrat from california and melanie campbell of the national coalition of black civic participation. thank you both for being here. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> congress woman, why aren't we seeing a clean vote?
3:38 pm
i mean what is this about? >> well i think it's about what it's been about from day one which is how can we stop everything that president obama wants to move forward. the irony this time is that they have to decide they want to get rid of eric holder. eric holder is ready to go. i think he has done a fabulous job. well, if you want him to leave, go ahead and confirm the next nominee. go ahead and confirm loretta lynch. so i think they're kind of caught between a rock and a hard place. they want him to go but yet they won't move the confirmation forward. there's absolutely no reason in the world they can't just do a clean confirmation vote. >> melanie campbell we saw them come back in from recess. they did not schedule a vote. many people all over the country have been calling for this vote. we see them go as i said in the intro, and confirm a federal judge just like they could have voted for loretta lynch that simple is how they did the
3:39 pm
federal judge. is this like sticking their finger in the eye of the american people? >> well we're going back on capitol hill tomorrow to continue to urge senator mcconnell to leave. we're going back with the women of faith and women of good conscience to really urge senator mcconnell to do the right thing and call for that vote. he has the power as the congress woman has stated. he can do this vote at any moment. we are concerned that she has waited another two weeks since the easter recess and it should have been one of the first things they did. as you said he could do it at any second. >> you were in new york at the convention and all the civil rights leaders said they would go as well after the women of faith who started this. have you heard anything from when the women of faith went before the recess from mcconnell have you heard anything from his office before you go back there again in the morning? >> no sir.
3:40 pm
we had not heard anything over the recess. we did hear something actually right before i came on this call, on this show we asked for a meeting with senator mcconnell. we would like to take a couple of minutes and talk to him about our concerns tomorrow. we're going to be praying on the hill as we did two weeks ago for senator mcconnell to step up and lead and for the other senators to go ahead and take that vote. loretta lynch deserves it. >> we need action. congress woman, the l.a. times reports this delay is hurting the department of justice. quote, promotions and policy decisions at the justice department have been put off. announcements have been slowed to a trickle. congress is waiting for input on the agency's budget priorities." this has to stop. >> it absolutely does. it's important to look at the
3:41 pm
implications for holding this up. as you mentioned, major policy decisions, you've seen the reports that attorney general holder has come out with where they were talking about ferguson or other policy issues and he can't move forward on those things. the department can't move forward when you're in the middle of a transition. so this is just not just unfair to miss lynch, this is unfair to the american people and it's absolutely unacceptable. >> mr. mcconnell says that they're working on language on the human trafficking, sex trafficking bill and then he would go to the lynch vote and maybe would work it out. why does it have to be attached to a bill congress woman? why are we holding a bill hostage? it's unheard of. we're talking about the attorney general. >> well also let me just tell you, this sex trafficking legislation, the sad thing is this was completely bipartisan. i have a bill that's in that package, voted than mousily
3:42 pm
sought of the house. we are hurting people by holding up the sex trafficking bill in addition to the damage that's being done to the justice. >> senator u.s. senator, debbie stab anow had called for a vote on the senate floor. listen to this. >> we're not asking that someone vote yes if they want to vote no. they have the right to vote no. we've had enough members now come forward that it's clear she actually has the votes. we have enough members indicate they were a supporter that we know that if we could get a vote on the floor that, in fact she would be confirmed. >> there you see the picture of john ashcroft and the days that it took to confirm him and what we've already seen and counting on loretta lynch. 42 days and john ashcroft had a lot of questions about him and
3:43 pm
about his ability to be a fair attorney general. there's no charges against miss lynch by the republicans. we're at 147 days a counting and she has the votes. one man is stopping this melanie campbell. >> thank you, rev. she would be the second woman to hold that position. first african-american woman. we asked the question why loretta lynch. she's exceptional qualified. she's done all the things they've asked her to do. she has the votes. as the congress woman talked about sex trafficking, neither one of these issues should be tied to partisan politics. they really need to step up and lead and go ahead and take that vote and give her that vote on the floor. >> congress woman, she's qualified, no controversy. they're holding a bill hostage. they're trying to use this as an attack on this president. this is absolutely outrageous
3:44 pm
when you think of all of the things from terrorism to other matters that this nation needs to have an attorney general dealing with and this is absolutely an affront to the american people. if i sound passionate about it it's because i am. >> well i think that we are, too. remember now, remember who's in charge. remember what was said seven years ago that they were going to do everything they could to make sure that this president was not successful. so you can just chalk this up to a long list of examples like this. >> congress woman karen bass melanie campbell thank you for your time tonight. >> thanks for having us on. coming up "all in the family." what role might chelsea have in the clinton campaign? plus the video of the day, conversation nation is next.

>> we had a hillary sighting. she's been found en route to iowa. that's good. >> what do you make of that? >> this is a long haul and if i go forward, we'll have a plan. it will be about me and about the ideas that i have that hopefully will allow people to rise up again. >> angela jeb not attacking clinton, at least in this context. are you sbriezurprised by that? >> i'm not, at least right now. of course hillary clinton just announced she was running yesterday or sunday so he has some time to build up what his arguments will be against hillary. right now he wants folks to focus on him and he needs to focus on raising campaign money. >> marco rubio didn't mind jumping a day after, stephanie. this is two days later. so does this mean jeb is going to handle this campaign differently than his protege, or
3:50 pm
should i say former protege? >> i'd like to comment, rev, but i think i dosed off during that sound bite of jeb bush talking. he's just as scintillating a speaker as i've heard he is. i don't picture that many reporters running after him to catch his ever thought. there could be a charisma deficit here. i'm waiting with baited breath for his first comments about hillary. >> josh is there a contrast between rubio and jeb bush's response? is it strategy maturity or he just didn't feel like doing it today? >> it's part strategy, part maturity. he's got 19 months to bash her on the head. he doesn't necessarily need to get into it right now. maybe he does come from a wing of the republican party which is less fire brand than some of his colleagues. i think it's both strategic but it probably reflects something about the bush dna, love it or hate it at least it's a little
3:51 pm
less extreme than ted cruise marco rubio, and rand paul. >> will hillary clinton's run be a family affair? bill clinton said he would primarily be a back stage advisor, but what about chelsea? she's taken on a more role in recent years and is, quote poised to become a major figure in the campaign if her mother makes it to the white house. can chelsea have a real impact in this campaign? >> i think chelsea already has had a real impact. you can look at her career path and i think the fact that she chose to go to the private sector and create some distance between her parents and her college choice demonstrates that she has a draw to this type of passion which is political passion. i think she's demonstrated her ability to make a difference with the clinton foundation. i think that she overwhelmingly is listened to by both of her
3:52 pm
parents and i think we'll see chelsea in this campaign. >> josh a public role by chelsea good or bad? >> bad i think. i'm one of the few people who thinks she might be detrimental to the campaign. >> why? >> i think the way that hillary has to play it this time around is being the loving grandmother, not being arrogant not seem like she's inevitable. it's impossible for chelsea to avoid the speck ter and the shadow of the presidency of her parents. when she's a princess diana figure and having a $5 million wedding and wearing a vera wang dress and it's catered by the saint regis and she's got ties with the clinton global initiative and going to moreocco it's bad optics. >> but stephanie, she's been valuable. she's been out on a lot of work the foundation has done that's
3:53 pm
been very credible. how is that not an asset? >> i know it's not as exciting as the bush twins, not as much parties or duis. what josh is talking about is she's very successful in her own right. she's incredibly intelligent, stanford oxford. and i love that her mother the most powerful woman in the world, listens to her. there's a great piece of one of those articles where her mom is telling a story on the campaign trail and chelsea goes like this to say, mom, stop eating stop telling the story while you're eating. and her mother listens immediately. >> let me say for the record i don't intend and i don't think anyone should, republican or democrat attack the kids. i think there are roles we can interpret but i don't think we need to get personal with anyone's family. finally, my favorite video of the day, reporters run after hillary clinton's scooby van. roll it one more time, please. >> you can see the media running
3:54 pm
behind me here to chase the scooby van. she's going around to the back. wow. we'll see her very soon. >> guy in the orange pants is pretty quick. alex, i'm looking at these people -- wow. orange pants, he's really outnumbered now by all of the people that are racing around the back. >> josh i could see you in orange pants, but i can't see you running behind. >> oh, lord. oh, lord. oh lord. >> aside from that what do you think of the strategy? >> we've got 19 months of this? it's just exhausting. orange pants or no orange pants i wouldn't be running after the scooby van. >> angela, would you? >> i would not run after the van, rev, but i love the media haze of today. i hope she has more coming. this is great. keep everybody on their toes. >> stephanie? >> it was just like a scooby do episode. scooby, where are you? we missed her getting a

sandwich. >> who gets unveiled as the evil secret genius at the end. >> we'll stay tuned. angela, josh and stephanie, thank you for joining the conversation tonight. we'll be right back. yes! one phillips' colon health probiotic cap each day helps defend against these occasional digestive issues... with 3 types of good bacteria. live the regular life. phillips' my name is tony sartorio. i'm a lineman for pg&e out of the concord service center. i have lived here pretty much my whole life. i have been married for twelve years. i have 3 kids. i love living here and i love working in my hometown. at pg&e we are always working to upgrade reliability to meet the demands of the customers. i'm there to do the safest job possible - not only for them, but everybody, myself included that lives in the community. i'm very proud to do the work that

one-year anniversary in the bring back our girls movement. one year ago we first learned of the mass kidnapping of 276 school girls from a nigerian town by the islamic extremist group boko haram. >> a nightmare for the parents and extended families. some of the girls taken from this school may have already been sold into so-called marriages for a few dollars. meanwhile areas schools have been closed exactly what the terrorists wanted. a tragedy for the missing and all the children in northeast nigeria. >> last year a twitter campaign with the hashtag bring back our girls attracted vocal advocates like first lady michelle obama, ellen degeneres and alicia keys. despite the attention, nigeria has been unable to locate the girls. only a handful have escaped, and over 200 are still missing.
4:00 pm
their fate is unknown, and we as a world community should not accept that. we should still do everything to bring these girls home. imagine if that was your daughter or mine. would we want the world response to be. thanks for watching. i'm al sharpton. "hardball" starts right now. >> hillary goes hawkeye. let's play "hardball." good evening. i'm chris matthews in san francisco. hillary clinton out there taking notes, jotting down what people say. when it comes to exciting the american people can a listing tour grab us like a strong clear statement of purpose? when it comes to politics can you lead from behind or do you have to get out there
