9:00 pm
>> that's a big deal. i think you have to look at the number of people in south carolina that didn't vote. 157,000 didn't vote. that could be the people who voted totally for racial solidarity. >> thank you very much. that's "all in" for this evening. the rachel maddow show starts now. good evening. have a good weekend. >> you too. >> thanks for you at home for joining us. this is prairie view a&m university. it was founded in 1876. it's been around for a very, very long time. one of the oldest schools in texas. it's also pretty big school. it's got about 8,000 students. like most universities and colleges of that size.
9:01 pm
it has its own police department. the chief of the police department at prairie view a&m is this person. her name is zena stephens. she's the police chief at the university. she lives in jefferson county, texas which is east of the school. closer to louisiana. jefferson county, texas is having an election for sheriff. she's one of two democratic candidates who made it into a run offer this week for that sheriff's position in jefferson county, texas. if either one of those democratic candidates is elected, they will become the first black sheriff in the history of jefferson county, texas. this week, at zena stephen's campaign headquarters this beaumont, texas, just this week, her campaign office was the target of what appears to be a racially motivated shooting.
9:02 pm
she was at her campaign office with about two dozen other people. a white man drove up and leaned out the passenger side, he screamed the n word, screamed some racial slurs and started shooting. luckily, even though five or six people were standing in front of the campaign office, including the candidate herself, she was just outside the office in the front where it happened when this guy drove up. another 20 people inside the building. luckily nobody was injured. the guy did shatter the glass front of the building. >> we hard glass shatter and people scrambling for safety. i don't know whether the individual that did that was trying to divide the community or stop the election or stop me
9:03 pm
for running. none of that will happen. i'm still a part of this community. i love this community. it's senseless ignorance. >> police arrested this man who confessed to the shooting. they recovered two weapons from his jeep cherokee. one was a bb gun and the other was a rifle. the suspect is in custody. that was monday night in beaumont, texas right now the border with louisiana where the presidential primary is due to take place with both parties tomorrow. clear across the country this california, here is another one from this week's news to keep you up at night in case that wasn't enough. >> we had three male whites, white supremacists and two hispanic males, young, and a hispanic female and they start
9:04 pm
harassing the hispanics and start assaulting them, beating them up. there's another family that saw that. they went in to intervene and when they intervened they started fighting with them and pull knives out and attempted to cut two of the victims. they were screaming racial slurs. hail hitler, ab skins and numerous racial slurs toward the hispanics. they were calling them spics and beaners. one had a confederate flag wallet. they did run and our deputies caught them and detained them. they will be arrested for assault with a deadly weapon as well as hate crimes. >> that happened this week this antelope valley, california. when the police officer said one of things the white supremacists guys was screaming during the attack was av skins. i think what that stands for is antelope valley skins.
9:05 pm
all three attackers in this case, the unprovoked racist attack on hispanics in a park, all three attackers in this case are still in custody. that kind of random, unprovoked racist neo natzi attack is unsettling. it's particular unsettling on the uniformed kkk march through anaheim, california. it's about 100 miles away from antelope valley. it got a lot of attention not just because it's the freaking klan but they got beat down in the street by a bunch of counter protester that was captured. three people were stabbed last week. we're wired in the day and age to think of things like the kkk and neonatzi groups, we're wired
9:06 pm
to think of them as some other age. some other slice of american culture other than our own. this kind of stuff persists. there's new manifestations of it all time. racist attacks, shows of force like this do happen in our country all over our country. when they happen, maybe it's unrelated to anything going on and in our own politics. maybe these things happen in a vacuum. they follow their own tune. given what's going on in our national politics, it's hard to look at incidents like this happening now and feel like they are happening in a vacuum. one storm does not a weather pattern make. that doesn't mean you can't tell what season it is more broadly. >> if we're with them, we get criticized. we had one guy in new hampshire who was a rough guy.
9:07 pm
he was swinging and punching. we had a couple of people in audience whoa were equally rough and they took him out. they took him out. they took him out. i'll tell you what, it was really amazing to watch. this was a seriously tough cookie. he looked like an nfl football player. we had four guys. they jumped at him and swinging and swinging. the next day we got killed in the press that we were too rough. give me a break. right. we don't want to be too politically correct anymore. it's very unfair. you know, they're allowed to swing and punch the hell out of people, but if we get rough and taking them out we're terrible people. that's the way it is. it's one of the many reasons our country is going to hell. >> that was donald trump in
9:08 pm
warren, michigan. later today he was in cadillac, michigan. >> kkk. kkk. >> get them out of here. get them out of here. we have the most fun. we have the most fun. get him out of here. get him out. remember when they took the microfrom bernie sanders. he walked away and stood back. he watched two young girls talk into the audience. they said we came to listen to him. he was standing in the back as two women took the mike away. that doesn't happen to us. get that guy out of here. get him out. get that guy out of here. get him out of here.
9:09 pm
i think you should arrest him. i think he should be arrested. arrest him. do you like him? i think he should be arrested for what he just did, and for the fresh mouth he's got. i would arrest him, officer. i don't want to give any recommendation, officer. i would arrest him for a filthy, dirty mouth. >> republican presidential front-runner donald trump at his rallies today this michigan. ahead of the michigan primary on tuesday. this has become a regular and increasingly performative part of his rallies. get him. get him. get him. at this one today in cadillac,
9:10 pm
michigan, i don't know if this is the first time he's called for a protester at one of his events to be arrested, but what you see more commonly, increasingly is mr. trump talks about violence against protesters. he sometimes flat out calls for violence against the protesters. more often he just sort of encourages it without actively saying please do it. >> all right. get him out. try not to hurt him. if you do, i'll defend you in court. >> that was him today. violence at political events, violence taking place at the events, the threat of violence at those events, we don't think of that as our american culture. we think of that as a feature of an earlier time this american politics. we think of it as something that happens in countries not as advanced as ours.
9:11 pm
we think of it as something that occurs on the fringes of our politics, certainly not at events held by somebody running as a major party for candidate for president. >> this is wallace country but he ran into one of the worst and loudest protest demonstrations of his campaign so far. >> you've got some folks out here who know a lot of four letter words. but there are two four letter words they don't know. w-o-r-k and s-o-r-p. you're a little punk that's all you are. let's talk about vietnam in a moment. you haven't got any guts. you got too much hair on your head, partner. you got a load your mind. that's right. cut the flood lights off. >> george wallace from the
9:12 pm
podium as protesters are pulled out of his rallies in 1968. george wallace ran in a segregationist campaign. he won five states. three donald trump has won. at the time that george wallace was running this extremist, overtly racist campaign in 1968, a lot of people wondered if it would start the rise of european style facist politics. it was also the style by which they were conducting themselves as political figures. violence is a key part. violence is seen as instrumental in those kind of movements. one of the ways they exerted their political effort is they had thugs who accompanied them on their political rounds and attack political rivals and beat up people at political rallies and make sure not just the threat of violence but actual
9:13 pm
violence was part of the appeal, part of the package in that kind of t mobilization. in the donald trump we haven't seen any para military, pro-trump, uniform gang thing going on be p. we haven't seen that emerge yet. they're so reliably violent we're starting to wink at the possibility that donald trump events may be self-policed fairly soon. in louisville, kentucky was
9:14 pm
started off as disturbing, upsetting video of a young black woman being shoved and screamed at inside a trump rally, that already disturbing footage took a darker turn and became even more chilling when a fairly famous neo natzi bragged he was one of the young white males screaming and shoving that black woman as donald trump screamed from the podium, get out. >> get out of here. get out of here. look at these people. get out of here. get out. out. out. out. get out! unbelievable. unbelievable.
9:15 pm
oh, well. get out. >> the shoing and the screaming in the red hat is the white nationalist bragging about shoving that woman as trump was screaming from the podium and egging they will on. on his twitter feed he reposted a quote from somebody else who was warning that soon enough the donald trump campaign would have its own brown shirts. he retweeted that remark with the caption, god, i hope so. brown shirts were the paramilitary thugs that surrounded adolph hitler, beating up protesters, serving as a military/slash thug police
9:16 pm
force to protect rallies and protect hitler himself. quote, god, i hope so. in this political climate, the campaign is heading into david duke's home state oflouisiana. what's happening there tonight feels like very heavy weather. we have more on that in a moment including what did just happen. that's next. stay with us. there has to be a way. carry the centimeter, divide by 3.14 something something something...

9:19 pm
increasingly becoming like this. this trump crowd this new orleans was estimated at 3 to 4,000 people. it gives you a sense of what the character was of that crowd. in terms of what will happen tomorrow, crowd size means about as much as hand size when it comes to predicting political victories. the polls say mr. trump is expected to win. what it felt like heading into super tuesday, there's a little question mark hanging over his prospects for the contest this weekend. mr. trump has faced criticism in the past during this campaign. he's never really faced anything like the onslaught of criticism he got this week. is that going to make a difference in his numbers in the contest this weekend? we shall see. if the last few days of criticism will take a toll, it's fair warning that toll, if we see it hurt his numbers this week, you probably won't see it in louisiana tomorrow because of one logistical fact about the
9:20 pm
louisiana primary. that's that 40,000 republican votes were already cast in louisiana before the whole republican party turned on donald trump. it started two weeks ago. it we understanded a week ago. given the big lead he had in the polls as of two weeks ago, i think it's fair to guess he probably banked a big lead. it happened before this tide of republican criticism rose up against him over these last few days. he would have banked that early voting league before he bragged about the size of his little donald at the start of last night's r rated debate. nobody knows whether that will help him or hurt him. nobody knows whether the criticism will help him or hurt him. in addition to louisiana and that primary over this week, the
9:21 pm
republicans will also have three caucuses in kentucky, kansas and maine. in the louisiana primary the polling is heavily in mr. trump's favor. in caucus states polling is useless. there are three things to watch for this weekend at what is getting to be a critical stage in this race. two of them are sort of normal. one is pretty disturbing. the first thing to watch for is obviously, who wins and by how much. that does seem painfully obvious, but it's starting to become increasingly and specifically important. if there trump keeps winning at the same pace he's been keeping this time, if he keeps winning by the same margins he's been winning by, he is on track to get the republican presidential nomination cleanly with no way that anybody else can take it from him even at the convention. so, we'll have a bit more on that later in the show tonight. watch this weekend to see if he wins and if he does, watch to
9:22 pm
see what kind of margin he rolls up in terms of number of delegates he gets. that's the first thing. the second thing is whether there will be any effect of this criticism on him within the republican party. that criticism is getting so much louder over the past few days. in the three states that will be voting this weekend by caucus in kansas, kentucky and maine, there isn't any early voting. even if he does win in those states, is his vote down compared to other similar states? is he winning by smaller margins than he might have been expected to win? are the turn out numbers on the
9:23 pm
turn out side? any of those things could be signs that the criticism is taking a toll. are republican voters going to stay home now that they have heard so much criticism against their front-runner. that's the second thing to watch. finally, there's the third thing to watch. i can't believe i have to say this, but i mean it earnestly. the third thing to watch is the level of violence and violent incitement from him at his political events. does the violence continue to rise over this weekend and heading into next week's contest? does it level off or decline? does he try to distance himself from it? it's been a long time since we were forced to think about the electoral utility of violence and racially inflected violence. now one of the variables we have to watch is whether this particular republican presidential front-runner continues to turn up that dial and encourage violence in his crowds. if he does that, if there continues to be violence at his events, if he continues to encourage it from the podium, is that something that drives up the intensity of his support or does that finally start to freak out republican voters who might support him? we are a country that actually does have pseudo violence and brown shirts.
9:24 pm
we do have persistent skin heads and klansman. that fringe variety of american monster has never been attached to and attracted to a front running major party presidential campaign the way they are to donald trump. for the first time since i've been alive we're watching to see if the black shirts and brown shirts attach themselves to his campaign in some way. louisiana vote is tomorrow. mississippi vote is next tuesday. hold on. watch this space.
9:25 pm
because it's not like there's anything else going on around here. we have a rachel maddow special report for you tonight. it's partly about politics. honestly, it's about what politics is failing to do in our country and failing a specific group of people really badly. we have done two special reports on this show in the past three months. this is third in this series. that's tonight. that's next.

9:29 pm
you ready? this is a story that i think is worth sitting down for. if you're watching me on dvr or podcast, just hit pause. go grab something to drink. put your feet up. watch this story. go with me here. all right. it starts some place pretty solemn. one of the most solemn, sacred responsibility of governments is taking care of veterans.
9:30 pm
part of our bargain with people who fight for this country is when they come home we take responsibility for their care, including their long term care when they get older. we do not leave them out to fends for themselves in their old age in this country. we do not abandon them in this country. keeping up with that bargain, it works differently in different states. it's a commitment we share. take for example, this veterans home. it was not open long since after the civil war. since the 1800s it's been a home for veterans who needed place to live as they got older. some needed extra care. some of them needed more intensive care whether for the physical frailties of age or the unforgiving grip of dementia. at any given time, 4 or 500 former soldiers, airmen and marines lived in that state home. for those veteran, that home was where they lived central to their lives.
9:31 pm
then a few years ago, that state got a new governor and the new governor found way he thought he could save $4 million a year from that veterans home. $4 million savings. he figured out a way to get that out of how the state had been spending money to take care of those elderly veterans. he decided he would get rid of the state workers who had been taking care of the elderly veterans and out source their jobs to a private company. as you might imagine, the workers were upset. so were the veterans who depended on the workers. a veteran of the korean war said for the life of me, i can't see them getting rid of caretakers they've got there now. they know each and every person that's up there. another veteran said the caretakers were like family. they are the ones who see us first and tell the nurses and doctors something's not quite right with tony. something's not quite right with jack. they go to our funerals. they are not paid to do that. they bring us christmas presents. the private company people aren't going to do that. turns out the vietnam vet knew what he was talking about. he ultimately sued. his case included stories that make you want to tear your hair out or donate to your veteran group. the private workers dropping an elderly veteran while trying to lift him. they broke his neck.
9:32 pm
they insisted on feeding one elderly veteran solid food when his doctor said not to. they pulled the feeding tube out of his stomach. them getting rid of caretakers they've got there now. they know each and every person that's up there. another veteran said the caretakers were like family. they are the ones who see us first and tell the nurses and doctors something's not quite right with tony. something's not quite right with jack. they go to our funerals. they are not paid to do that. they bring us christmas presents. the private company people aren't going to do that. turns out the vietnam vet knew what he was talking about. he ultimately sued. his case included stories that make you want to tear your hair out or donate to your veteran group. the private workers dropping an elderly veteran while trying to lift him. they broke his neck. they insisted on feeding one elderly veteran solid food when his doctor said not to. they pulled the feeding tube out of his stomach. the veterans sued to try to turn back the privatization. the court said the plan could go ahead. you want to know how that worked out? the state auditor looked into the plan was working out for the elderly veterans. they found under the plan the veterans home was understaffed 81% of the time.
9:33 pm
they found the vets were not getting their medications properly. they found staff were failing to check in on residents to make sure they hadn't wandered off. they found when the veterans started complaining they were being neglected or abusd no one tracked the complaints. that's what the state got when the new governor came in with the new ideas about how to run things. it will be much cheaper. forget the way you've been doing it since the 1800s. shut up veterans. this will be great. obviously no fault of governor. after the state auditor confirmed what veterans were warning about about and suing about. the governor accepted the member of the his cabinet who ran veterans issues for him. that's one. that's exhibit a. take a breath. settle in. here is exhibit b. same state. same new governor.
9:34 pm
this is state that has one city that's bigger than every other population center in the state by a mile. it has one big world class city that's four times larger than the next largest city in the state. by population it's as big as the next five biggest cities in the state combined. they have one big population center in the whole state. you might think oift as the crown jewel of the state. these are the public schools in that state's largest city. black mold spreading through buildings. dead rats this the hallways and classrooms and the gyms. live rats, live mice everywhere. mushrooms growing out of walls. ceilings caving in, floors buckled. floors buckled. not to mention the black of books and school supplies. that's the floor in the gym. few weeks ago teachers began staging mass sick outs at the schools.
9:35 pm
hundreds of teachers called in sick. dozens of schools closed. teachers weren't protesting the kind of things that teachers protest in normal parts of the country. they weren't protesting for better pay package. they do have terrible pay and terrible contract conditions. what these protesters were protesting about is this. what they were calling out sick and picketing day after day was the physical condition of the schools that the kids were expected to learn in. they figured if you want to do right by the kids, it was more important to take desperate measures to sound the alarm about the physical conditions of the buildings rather than keep the kids in the disgusting and dangerous school building for one more day. the amazing thing about this state and the condition of the schools is the school district is under the direct control of the governor. it's not being run like a normal state. there isn't a locally elected school board that's running things and responsible for the school like in normal places of the country and normal states.
9:36 pm
the governor took over the schools himself. put his own person in unilateral control of these schools and under that leadership, with him having taken that responsibility, the schools are expected to be completely out of money by april of this year. now, the school year does not end in april but the school year will this year if the district, as it's scheduled to do, runs out of money completely by then. the governor is in charge of those schools. that governor put an emergency manager in charge of those schools to run it for him. manager resigned from the job last month saying there was no reason for him to stay because he finished his job ahead of schedule. he wrote this letter. dear governor, if an emergency manager determines that the financial emergency that he or she was appointed to manage has been rectified, the emergency manager shall inform the governor. i am informing you of my intent to leave my position as
9:37 pm
emergency manager. everything's fixed. why stay a moment longer? i'm out of here. the schools are partially ininhabitable. they are out of money by april. under this governor, call that problem solved. exhibit c, same state, same governor. in december, the fbi unsealed a five count indictment against an official in a new agency this governor created to cut through all that terrible government bureaucracy and run schools in a new efficient streamlined way, the governor's way. the federal corruption indictment alleged the official used the agency for bribery and money laundering including a kickback scheme that's resulted in three guilty pleas in federal court and likely to be years in prison. exhibit d, same state, same governor. see why i told you to grab a pop and put your feet up. this is all the same state and
9:38 pm
governor. it's all happening now. here is exhibit d. remember that oil spill last year on the california coast, pipeline near santa barbara sprang a leak. nobody noticed for a bunch of hours. the pipe did not have an automatic shut off or at least it didn't have one that worked. by the time they finally, manually shut it off, tens and tens of thousands of crude oil spilled out into a pristine beach. the company that did that own pipelines all over the country including pipelines under this river in the same state where our innovative governor has had so much on his hands. the company has a couple old century pipelines under there dating back to 1918. last week during a big snowstorm, local woman who lives
9:39 pm
nearby was stuck at home because of the snowstorm and she stumbled upon this in the federal registry. it's a request by the pipeline dating back to 1918. last week during a big now it's 98 years down the road, and they are just checking. do we still have that permission? we still good to use that pipe for crude oil? what do you think local residents, you good with a 98-year-old pipe being started up under your river? construction standards were great in 1918. don't think of it as old. think of it as vintage. think of it as an antique pipeline. the public had 30 days to comment on this amazing request
9:40 pm
concerning this antique pipeline under their river. the pipeline, i should tell you, it returns under the river just immediately upstream of the drinking water intake for the state's largest city. okay. does anybody have any objections? well, here's the thing about , nobody had any objections because nobody heard about the public comment period. by the time anybody noticed, the window for public comment had closed. the request for public comment on that bonkers pipeline plan got a total of six comments, including two that were tests that had been withdrawn. in the nice lady that was googling around had not seen the notice in the federal registry that day, nobody would have seen this at all. that is a federal issue. that's a federal public comment period. pipelines are something that are regulated by the federal government. if there was a federal review
9:41 pm
going on of the prospect of running crude oil through a 100-year-old pipe directly upstream from the drinking water intake for your state's largest city, don't you think somebody in the state might have noticed that other than that nice lady stuck at home because of the snowstorm noodling around just happen to be googling. it's a federal review but nobody at the state said anything or did anything or sent up flag or told anybody it was happening. we don't know if they noticed the public comment period came and went for that absolutely critical and super freaking scary issue and the state never apparently even noticed. if they did, they never said anything. but you know what, they have been busy because this state, obviously, is michigan. the governor of this state is rick snyder and he's busy right now with the consequences of having lead poisoned the city
9:42 pm
through his lead idea. who else knows what has gone by the wayside. there's presidential primaries and caucuses in a few states this weekend. all the campaigns are honkering down in michigan because michigan is the next big one. they will award a big chunk of presidential delegates in four days on tuesday. god bless, michigan. let's hope the pandering they are getting in the presidential nominating calendar, let's hope that does them some good. michigan is a governance disaster like no other state in the country right now. in state that ought to be thriving with its federally bailed out and revived auto industry, the envy of the world, the biggest and best automakers in the world, you think that michigan would be kind of cruising right now, right.

good morning. today because it's in the best interest of the residents of michigan, i'm calling on governor rick snyder to resign for his actions and inactions pertaining to the flint water crisis. >> if you pick up a local paper in michigan these days, you're likely to see a headline like this. don't ask what governor snyder knew, ask why he didn't. joining us is rochelle riley. nice to see is michigan in a dif position than other states.
9:50 pm
>> this is an unusual position for any state to be in. >> i'm going to ask you if you think that governor snyder is going to resign with the caveat that he keeps saying he's not going to and i know he keeps saying that,ing but i have to wonder if all of these things
9:51 pm
naive or really is out of touch with what is going on and i i don't think he's going to resign. i think it's the kind of thing where he really thinks this is his problem, it was caused on his watch and he's going to try to fix it, but as the tensions mount and the calls for his resignation mount, i don't know how much he can get done.
9:52 pm
i know there are only two things he has to get done, one is to get the money to the deproit public schools so we don't lose the school system and the other is to get the situation in flint fixed. if he does nothing but that he'll probably be able to stay in office to do that. >> columnist with the detroit free press. really enjoyed talking to you and thanks for being with us. when people go out to vote in the presidential primary in michigan on tuesday, there will be people signing up volunteers to collect signatures to recall governor snyder. it will start on easter sunday. hey, need fast heartburn relief? try cool mint zantac. it releases a cooling sensation

9:58 pm
you need a haircut, bernie. get you trimmed. you want do it? >> yeah. >> let's do it. >> bernie, what's your style? >> you know my style. >> it takes someone to say to a presidential candidate you need a haircut, let's get you trimmed and yes person i never met before i'm running for president it's a pretty key moment for me right now go ahead have at me with sis yorz. that was senator bernie sanders getting a $7 haircut today where this happens to be a big caucus this weekend. kansas will be a caucus this weekend and louisiana and nebraska. main will caucus on sunday. it's caucuses in kansas, nebraska and main. louisiana is the only primary.
9:59 pm
clinton is favored to win louisiana. it makes sense because bernie sanders isn't really contesting louisiana. so she's expected to win there. kansas, that's a caucus so there's basically been no public polling except for one poll which showed secretary clinton up by ten. you can take that with a grain of salt. it's hard to poll caucus states. in nebraska there's no polling, but it's a caucus state. senator sanders has been farg well in those kind much states. main will hold its caucus on sunday, another one with no polling. the sanders campaign says they have a chance to win all of the caucus states and louisiana where hillary clinton is up by a lot and it's not a caucus. the clinton campaign is conceding sanders could win nebraska and kansas, but they say they will win louisiana with a large margin and have more
10:00 pm
delegates. as more main, nobody knows, but those are the best predictions we can make right now. that's the best expectations the campaigns can set on primary caucus eve.
