there's only one egg that just tastes better. so fresh from the farm. delicious. perfect. only one egg with more great nutrition... like 4 times more vitamin d and 10 times more vitamin e. and 25% less saturated fat. only one egg good enough for my family. because why have ordinary when you can have the best. eggland's best. the only egg that gives you so much more: better taste. better nutrition. better eggs. so when my husband started getting better dental checkups than me i decided to go pro... with crest pro-health advanced. my mouth is getting healthier. my teeth are getting stronger. this crest toothpaste is superior in five areas. great checkup.

right now on "andrea mitchell reports" hillary clinton focuses on the economy while in new hampshire. >> we need to make being middle class mean something again. we need to really add prestige and distinction to the work we need done in america. >> while bill clinton is staying out of politics in washington. >> for reasons i don't intend to talk about electoral politics. >> don't tread on mille. u.s. warships headed for mainland. >> the message i think to iran is don't overstep despite nuclear negotiations. and the end in sight. hours after the emotional finish

at the second boston marathon after the bombing, families of victims hear the fate of dzhokhar tsarnaev. >> he could have walked away. he chose not to. >> this doesn't deter anyone from doing what they're going to do. >> i believe he should be held accountable. whatever that is i feel the true judgment comes after he dies any way. >> for one woman that lost a leg in the bombing, she got to run the final portion of the race she started two years ago. good day everyone. i'm andrea mitchell in new hampshire where hillary clinton is campaigning at the community college behind me. she's talking about populist

economics. it's that message meant to blunt the appeal of warren on her list. i asked hillary clinton about the key issue for liberals trade deals. >> any trade deal has to produce jobs and raise wages and increase prosperity and protect our security. we have to do our part in making sure we have the capabilities and skills to be competitive. so it's got to be really a partnership between our business, government work force, the intellectual property that comes out of universities. we have to get back to a much more focused effort in my opinion to try to produce those capacities here at home so we can be competitive in a global economy. >> reporter: new hampshire senator, long time clinton

supporter, joining me from the capitol where congress is in session. senator, great being in new hampshire. thanks for hospitality. >> enjoy your stay. i would love to be there. >> reporter: you're doing things in washington. it sounds as though you have some sort of compromise, a break through on the loretta lynch attorney general nominee who's been up there. the which hecommittee voted her out. her nomination has been on old six months now. before that tied up with unrelated issue, compromise on human trafficking bill. what can you tell us about when this will finally hit the floor? >> i hope some time this week. as you point out, loretta lynch has been on hold 164 days. that's more than the previous seven attorney general nominees combined. it is way past time we take up her nomination. she is very well prepared well

qualified. she has support of both republicans and democrats. we need to do this this week. the good news is we also have agreement on the human trafficking issue, something that democrats and republicans have been very strong about. it's unfortunate that women's reproductive rights again got tied up in the issue that should not be addressing women's reproductive rights. i'm hopeful that we have an agreement that people can support. >> reporter: hillary clinton is here. she's still talking to students and to the faculty in this community college. this community college is part of the new hampshire community college system. she's been pointing out new hampshire has one of the highest student can debt level, $30,000 after graduating from a four year school. it's places like this technical institute students i talked to are graduating after two years and getting jobs. one man was a marine five years.

he met with secretary clinton. after being with the marines ss five years, after two years here he's got a job in a labor manufacturing business in manchester. one of her concerns on the tour is a lot of high-tech machines computer model machines and places like this are made in germany, israel and netherlands. she wants to know how to bring that sector become to the u.s. how do you do that and balance the trade negotiations this administration wants to do and lower barriers not put up barriers? >> well i think one of the things we've got to do is make sure any trade agreements address workers being displaced and they level the playing teeld on worker's rights and environmental requirements. one of the challenges we're seeing competition from places like china, south america, they're able to lower standards

in a way we can't be competitive. i think we should address those issues and make sure we have a competitive playing field for new hampshire workers, more american workers. >> reporter: do you support the trade deal fast track trade deal and the specific trade deal that the obama white house is pushing? >> i have been a supporter of trade. as governor i led the first trade mission overseas. i think we've got to make sure we're helping to set those ground rules for trade and not leaving that up to china and countries who are though the willing to level the playing field. i haven't had a chance to look at this agreement. i'll look at it carefully. agreement was reached last week in committee. i want to look at enforcements. i want to make sure trade assistance to workers displaced is included as part of any agreement. i want to make sure that american workers and american companies are getting the best

opportunities possible for any trade deal. >> is this the right approach for hillary clinton, this low key kind of campaigning? you know new hampshire better than anyone. she's not doing the big rallies, not doing what she did last time around. is this going to be effective? what about controversies that seem to trail her like the alleged conflict of interest with contributions to the family foundation? >> you know, it's a long time are from now to the new hampshire primary, from now until the general election in 2016. so he'sshe's got lots of time to meet with folks in small groups and do bigger speeches. i think it is important for her to engage personally with people in new hampshire. they expect that. they want to be able to ask politicians questions and hear what her vision is for the country. so i do think that's very important. i think because she's hillary clinton, because she's a democrat running for president,

she's going to have attacks no matter where she goes. what i want her to do is stay focused on the concerns of new hampshire and american citizens teacher, firefighters and police officers that she's been meeting with. the students who need to have help as they're trying to pay off student loans. those are the folks who have something to say about what we need to do in this country. >> as a sponsor of the bill to put a woman on the $20 bill do you have a choice? parks, roosevelt have been among those mentioned. >> we have a wealth of women that have made significant contributions. perkins is one of my favorites, first woman in the cabinet. abigail adams, we have all learned about because of wonderful letters to keep the fires burning when her husband

was off doing politics. so i think we've got a lot of people to choose from. that's why appointing a citizen's panel to make recommendations, to engage with folks at the grass roots effort who started this movement is really important. >> reporter: senator, thanks so much. we're really enjoying new hampshire. >> have a good time. >> reporter: we are. we have breaking news from baltimore. police have just named the six police officers that they put on administrative leave as investigators are searching for answers into the death of a man in police custody. 25-year-old freddi gray died sunday. he suffered fatal spinal cord injuries his attorney says were caused by police brutality during his arrest. police said they did not use excessive force arresting gray and have no evidence from cell phone or surveillance videos that officers abused gray.

we have the writer from the "baltimore sun." mark thanks for joining us. what is your conclusion about the suspension of officers and the deliberate speed with which the city death with this issue? are they doing enough too slow too fast? >> the suspension is typical of any case like this. this case seems to be moving faster than other high profile cases in the past year. obviously so because much of the nation has focused attention on it. >> reporter: what do you think of the commitment of the mayor and police chief to finding out what happened? >> well the mayor and police commissioner have committed transparency and accountability. they came out in full force last fall after he published the series that took a dive into the

accountability and losses filed by residents against police officers. >> reporter: now, in the last four years according to your reporting, more than 100 people have won cases against the police force. is that record excessive as far as you're concerned compared to other cities? >> well we compared baltimore to dallas texas. dallas texas paid similar amounts of money. they only paid 26 claims. our series showed 102 lawsuits from 2011 through september '14. they showed that residents alleged brutality, broken bones battered faces. they were all charge add with similar charges of obstruction, resisting arrest on an officer. most were dropped by judges. they sued and the city awarded damages. >> reporter: mark and the "baltimore sun" have been on this from the beginning.

thanks for joining us. >> thank you. tension on the high seas from the middle east. the warships try to keep iran from passing. we'll talk more to senator murphy. more from the campaign tour after the break. what's bill been doing? he's been out for a walk. last night he was near their home. check out hot pink kicks. not the first time the tomorrower president has shown a fiction for multicolor footwear a. he was caught supporting these in miami a few weeks ago. the former president has branched out since he was first elected to the white house in 1929. he jogged with more traditional colors. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" only on msnbc.

two more warships headed today coast off yemen now. there's a strong warning from iran from the u.s. not to deliver weapons to rebels that brought down the government. that put thousands of troops on the water in a volatile region. nuclear talks with iran are is set to begin tomorrow in switzerland. we have a senator from the foreign relations committee. thanks for being with us. what are the risks in this deployment? theodore roosevelt, two warships -- taking theodore roosevelt out of the persian gulf involved in the combat against isis and now in the coast of yemen in the middle of a hot war between saudis and

rebel groups as well as iran moving weapons in. >> it clearly is substantial deployment of american forces off the coast of yemen. it signals that our focus now is making sure this doesn't escalate into a full blown military proxy war between saudi arabia and iran. we're at a moment diplomacy can prevail. it's incumbent on the saudis and iranians as well to tell the folks they're backing right now the priority has to be to come to the table and try to find a way out. iranians here are willing to take a look at an ultimate governing structure. by putting our forces offshore and not allowing more weapons to come into the fight, hopefully we're sending a signal that the with best path forward is talks and diplomacy rather than

escalation of this proxy war. >> reporter: the new york times has been writing about the arms race. defense companies as the defense budget here is kurkts they're finding willing sources of to sell overseas. we're getting into a real arms race in difficult part of the world with american equipment. >> this is a double edged sword because you can see the immediate down side by where you're arming two sides of a growing proxy war whether happening inside syria or yemen. at the same time -- we've been saying a long time the united states isn't the appropriate nation to be fighting battles within the middle east. if there are sunni problems there have to be sunni solutions. that actually means there's good that can come from countries developing their military capacities to deal with their own regional problems. this is a really delicate trend

line. i don't think the answer is simply for the united states to tell the gulf states to stand down on military readiness. ultimately, they're more likely to be able to achieve long lasting military and diplomatic solutions than the united states is. iraq is a perfect example of limitations of american military power in that region. >> reporter: the president invited the gulf nations to come to camp david, an unprecedented move on his part next month. he's apparently going to offer more of an american security umbrella to insure them if they proceed with this nuclear agreement with iran. the sunni powers are nervous about a iran. how much of a commitment should we be making to gulf allies? >> we can assist them as they start to take control of their own region. they're dwoleveloping a military

coalition. u.s. can assist in that. i think president obama sees the long game, not only the middle east but across the war. the deal with iran is important for his future nuclear program and also brings in solutions, being able to encourage the sunni states, allows them to fight their own battles in the region without major extra diction of american forces. and the deal with cuba that's the issue a thorn in the side of america's relationships in central america. there's repair work he's doing in central caribbean, middle east that may not pay dividends tomorrow but is important to the future. >> chris murphy thank you so much senator. we're going to continue on the

topic. coming up tensions in the arabian sea and what it means for talks with iran. senator mccain joining us. stay with us. you're watching msnbc. i came up with so many reasons to put off losing weight... but then i joined weight watchers, got the starter kit and i was like, hey, i can do this. now there's nothing holding me back, i can feel it. once you get started nothing can stop you. join for free at weightwatchers.com, and get a free starter kit when you sign up before april 27th.

as u.s. warns iran with show of force, naval force, in the waters off yemen, what does it mean for the nuclear deal they have in switzerland? i'm joined by senator cane. thank you for being with us. >> you're welcome andrea. >> what do you think about the showdown? >> the showdown may be the reality iran has played a role this our training and assisting the houthi rebels that have overthrown the u.s. government in yemen. that's a big deal because of

this houthi rebellion. it demonstrates the challenges in the relationship with iran and in the nuclear negotiations with iran. >> reporter: should we keep that as a separate deal or should we raids issues in thuk lar talks? how do you make a deal with the adversary when they're challenging us militarily in that region? >> the fact there's activity in yemen and elsewhere is not a reason not to do a nuclear deal. this is not whether the adversary will come a friend but whether an adversary has a nuclear weapon or not. it would only get more intense. i think their activity raises the stakes for what a good deal is. say we got a perfect deal on the nuclear program, we give them sanctions relief. they use dollars for things like

propping up assad or finance the houthi rebellion. it means we've got to be really sure the deal is good and the white house and p 5 plus 1 negotiators have made clear the ability to sanction iran for activity or take other steps against them is uneffective. we need to keep all options on the table with respect to terrorist activity and human rights violations. >> reporter: now on another subject. republicans claim members of the foreign relations committee were briefed about possible conflict of interests between clinton foundation fund raising and secretary clinton's tenner. this book alleges people contributed to her family foundation. were democrats briefered as far as you know or is this a partisan deal? >> i think it's a partisan deal. there's not been a senate

foreign relations meeting that i'm aware of. it would be that a couple of republican members of the committee, especially those running for president, have gotten tipped off by the author who has a pretty significant history of working on the republican side. there's not been briefing of democrats on the committee about this. >> reporter: and as a former party chairman is hillary clinton striking the right or wrong notes here as she talks more as a populist the in recent weeks in the last few weeks? obviously aware of the progressive wing of the party that would prefer warren especially in new hampshire. >> andrea, i like the way the campaign has started, making it about everyday americans, not only the message but the way she's beginning the campaign. the hand to hand discussions with families. i think she does very well this those settings. i think that's a great way to begin the campaign. it gives her the ability to test

themes and listen to folks. then big events will happen later. look, i'm a democrat that strongly believes in economic growth. secretary clinton does too. you've got to measure the success of growth by whether it affects everybody not just folks at top. i think he's got a good way of explaining that. >> reporter: thank you so much senator ka a arkskaine. when we come back boston strong. the city runs another marathon. now the jury neatmeets to decide the fate of dzhokhar tsarnaev. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" only on msnbc. huh, 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know that game show hosts should only host

bomber dzhokhar tsarnaev. the jury must decide if he faces life or death. this morning jurors heard opening arguments followed by testimony from survivor that lost both legs be below the knee in the attack. this comes as emotions are running high as yesterday's boston marathon took place. from outside the federal courthouse in boston i know it's early in this penalty phase. this has got to be emotional, difficult testimony ron. >> reporter: absolutely andrea. this continues to day one of what we suspect to be a three or four week trial in fact. the judge giving them instructions this morning telling them about what qualifies for deaths. these 17 counts they have to determine whether they can vote to send him to death or if they can't all agree, all 12 he will be sentenced to life in prison without parole.

the judge in telling the jury says you're going to hear a lot of victim's statements and how this terrible bombing affected their life. you can't base your decision solely on emotion or what these families want you to vote when you go to deliberate. this is a trial you're given mitigating factors. they're starting prosecution with opening arguments. then one woman got up and accounted the terrible day when she lost be both her legs, and her daughter was injured. this will be the first day a number of witnesses come forward to tell how that day affected their lives. we suspect monday, the defense will get up and make their opening arguments. we believe their presentation will center on tamerlan tsarnaev. their strategy has been if not for him and his radical mind set, there would not have been a

boston marathon bombing. we'll see how the jurors take that a when they get this decision of life or death. >> reporter: thank you very much. here in new hampshire if you were listening to the summit this past weekend, one thing they agreed on was attacking hillary clinton. is that their strategy as they fight for primary votes? senator johnson joins me now. part of a political family. your father is a governor former white house chief of staff. the news you shared today is you have signed on with john kasich as he launched his political action committee to decide whether he wants to run for president. you worked with him in the house when he was budget chair. he was there # 18 years. why john kasich? >> only the candidates can decide if time is right. john is an exceptional inspirational leader.

he's also got great experience probably as much or more than anyone in the field. he's got a great track record of success. that's the kind of combination leadership that america really needs right now. >> reporter: is he late to the party jeb bush and scott walker has been soaking up money and marco rubio has been out there trying to make his road as a new generation. i remember when john kasich was the young guy. he's no longer the young guy. >> no but this some ways he's the unconventional guy, creative guy, and inspirational guy. it's certainly not too late. in new hampshire it's not about money. it's about connecting with voters telling a story how you can lead the country, what you can do what you believe. no one is better at that than john. i think the field is taking shape. there's a lot of focus right now. as you know this goes in cycle. it's easy to generate a crowd of 200 people whether john kasich

jeb bush or rand paul. in august and september, as you know it becomes a little tougher. you really have to grind through work hard person to person. that's what the new hampshire primary is about. >> reporter: if new hampshire voters want to hear substance, what's the advantage going after hillary clinton? this is what she had to say yesterday when we asked her about it. >> it is i think worth noting that the republicans seem to be talking only about me. i don't know what they'd talk about if i weren't in the race. but i am in the race and hopefully we get onto issues. i look forward to that. >> well a couple of things. one, they're not just criticizing her. they're criticizing the president too to be sure. at the same time i think hillary clinton wants to be the center of attention to a certain extent. her mission is generate buzz to

generate a sense that she's the inevitable candidate. she wants to make sure they don't get out of the starting gate. drawing the attention to her, talking about how everyone is against her fits into her game plan to a certain extent. >> her game plan is also to not appear entitled and inevitable. >> inevitable she wants to be. entitled, no. when she's across the state at new hampshire 90 miles per hour or using handicap parking spaces, she's really not succeeding in connecting with the average voter. she has the appearance that rules don't apply to her. that's one of the things she needs to break away from. she needs to work harder at it. >> reporter: what was the advantage for republicans in the senate holding up the loretta lynch?

giuliani endorsed her. african-american woman, they holder up six months and get eric holder the attorney general they say they don't like. >> i think in the end that was driven by a couple of members forcing the issue i don't think it gained them much. at the end of the day, they're going to have a break through with the sexual trafficking bill. >> you think it's going to happen tomorrow? >> i think so. that's the deal that struck there. maybe the president, especially in their cabinet, have the cabinet nominees get to the floor and have a vote. >> reporter: it wouldn't be new hampshire if we didn't have you here to talk. >> i hope i'm back again. we'll be right back and talk more about hillary clinton and push for campaign 2016 when we come back from this in. you're watching msnbc.

go national. go like a pro. welcome back. the man that tried to assassinate president ronald reagan in 1991 could be given freedom very soon. he was 25 when he tried to shoot and kill the former president. now she's almost 65 a years old. the judge has granted him more time out of the mental institution that's been his home. now doctors say he deserves more time to be with his mother in williamsburg virginia. the federal prosecutors

disagree. here's nbc's kristin welker. >> reporter: this exclusive gated community in virginia overlooks the golf resort where presidents have stayed. it's now the part time home for the man 34 years ago shot and nearly killed president ronald reagan and three others including press secretary grady who was gravely injured. he spent time here where he takes walks, even eats fast food. >> he comes here walks around goes to local stores. >> reporter: on wednesday, hearings will begin to determine if he should be allowed more time in williamsburg and the possibility of living here permanently. his doctors are expected to argue hincley is under control. >> he has the capacity to kill

again. >> reporter: this doctor says he is deceptive. in 2011 he told doctors he was seeing a movie but instead went to a nearby barnes and noble and was in a section that had a book about a assassination. >> he covers up what his true intentions are. >> reporter: his attorney didn't respond to requests for comment but at the last court hearing said this man is not dangerous. >> reporter: of course hinckley shot jim brady white house press secretary that died last year. his death was judged a homicide because of his wounds. kristin welker joins me now. we had the loss of sarah bray did brady last month. has anyone from the brady family

spoken out about him becoming a free man after the damage he's caused? >> they have. there's so much emotion around this. i spoke to the former reagan aid. he was there when the shooting happened. he helped put mr. brady into an ambulance that day. he says the bottom line is that mr. hinckley sentenced mr. brady to a lifetime of pain and paralysis . he spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. there's no way mr. hinckley should be granted freedom. a lot of mr. brady's friends and family watching this closely. they're curious to see what happens after wednesday's court proceedings. andrea? >> reporter: it's remarkable. those of us covering it at the time. i can see the picture of him now

outside the hilton hotel. the president almost died. we learned years later how close that bullet came to his heart. >> that's absolutely right. with when you talk to not only mr. hern but some of the psychiatrists who have treated mr. hinckley they say he is very deceptive. yes, he has shown to have made progress, but they are deeply deeply concerned about the prospect of him being let out, allowed to stay with his mother who is aging. the question is what happens if she passes away? who will be overseeing his medical care? one psychiatrist telling me if he is allowed more time outside the mental facility he needs a lot of medical supervision. they needs to make sure he's checking in with doctors and consists on a regular basis is. there's a lot of concern letting him out for more time and an per about the possibility of

allowing him to have his full freedom when as you say, he came close to killing president reagan and changed the life of james brady forever. >> reporter: kristin welker thank you so much for that report. after a break, we're back with senator debbie sabino on future of relations with cuba. that's coming up next on "andrea mitchell reports."

and we have breaking news out of washington this hour. the sthet hasenate has reached an agreement to pass the antihuman trafficking bill. that has held up an agreement to vote on confirmation of loretta lynch. it has been held up six months. what was needed to get that vote was a decision on the human trafficking bill. joining me from the senate is senator debbie sabino. you just came from a hearing.

what about the possibility of getting a new attorney general? >> today is 165 days since she was nominated coming out of committee. frankly this idea that somehow she was tied to the human traffic ago bill that was a made up issue. last night we voted on a federal district judge from texas. he wasn't held up because of that. last week we voted on other judges. we vote on other things. the only thing held up is loretta lynch. i'm hopeful now that we have an agreement that the final excuse will go away and that mitch mcconnel will bring her nomination to the floor as quickly as possible. >> reporter: you just had an agriculture hearing on exports to cuba. there's been a waiver as you know. new york's governor andrew cuomo

is there this week trying to drum up business. do you think this is going to be a bonus for american goods and american farmers? >> as you moe eknow, this is a huge opportunity for us. we had a hearing. everyone on both panels was supportive of opening things up more. there are some significant barriers. i heard the last time i was many cuba from the cuban officials act about the lack of ability to finance. we heard that today. you have to pay in cash to purchase. the president changed things so that you don't have to pay in advance before commodities are shipped. you can wait until you receive them. you still can't use financing mechanisms and so on that cuba allows to use with other countries. we need to lift the embargo completely. other things need to be done. this is a huge benefit for us. there's no question about it.
