we're covering breaking news this evening. donald trump has whop the republican primary in washington but all eyes are on albuquerque, new mexico. protesters have gathered outside a rally. police say they've used smoke grenades. let's go live to the scene and again with hallie jackson. give us your report.

>> reporter: we're about a block down from where we last left you as we try to make our way down the street. you can see police have been clearing block by block intersection by intersection trying to get the demonstrators out here out of the road, get their vehicles away. i can tell you when we last talked you were asking about the smoke. what we saw were people spinning out tires. that was something we saw maybe four or five times in the span of a couple of minutes here as we walk here with the police, as we walk here with the officers on horseback trying to get out of the street. when you asked about what these protesters are here for, several of them here regarding immigration policies. this woman we spoke with earlier was talking as well. ma'am tell me about why you're here today. >> we're here today because the people of albuquerque specifically do not want donald

trump in hour city. we have a tricultural state and everybody is welcome. we have native americans and hispanics. we don't want trump here. the mayor of albuquerque refuses to listen to the people. >> reporter: let me ask you this. what do you hope to accomplish with a demonstration like this. how do you think that will help. >> it's not about it being accomplished or for us to accomplish something but rather this is what our people have had to resort to because our own governor refuses to listen to the people. we go in there week after week like reasonable people picking up the phone trying to schedule appointments and we go unheard. time and time again we have failing schools and we are dead last in the nation in poverty, we have a high rate of police

violence. that's a simple tomb of a corrupt government. donald trump cannot come to our city aft city. we all have rights and he acts like they only belong to the people that support him and that is untrue. they belong to all people. >> reporter: what's your name. >> diana. >> reporter: where are you from. >> i'm from albuquerque, new mexico. we're going to let diane go. thank you very much. >> that's what i wanted to hear. >> reporter: i'm going to have my cameraman here and our crew here walk up a little bit to show you at this next intersection what's happening. we talked about police trying to clear the line block by block so now we're down at -- i believe it is central and third in downtown albuquerque. this is very similar to what we were seeing earlier.

people with flags and spinning out tires, a ruckus crowd. i spoke with folks earlier and they were here to watch. i think that is the mixture of people you're seeing. some like diane who are here with a message and others here to see what is going on in albuquerque after this donald trump rally that ended now maybe about an hour ago. this is has been going on since then. we saw the protests outside. trump has obviously departed albuquerque. he's headed to california tomorrow for a fundraiser. >> i want to get a couple of facts now for people joining us now. this rally by trump is over. trump is gone. have the people who attended the rally have they left? is there going to be a collision between them and these protesters? how does that stand? >> reporter: i don't believe so. let me go back and set the scene as far as the time line. the trump rally ended as the

protests were happening outside. those protests began a couple of hours before the trump rally. that's typical to what we see at these events. the police were here. the rally was a typical rally that we would see from donald trump. he made some comments about hillary clinton and he gave his typical stump speech. what we saw afterwards was different. at that point we saw people trying to leave the rally and rerouted to different exits because protests had been coming up close to where the doors were. police barricaded those entrances. they didn't want people leaving or entering. that's partly because of damage. there were possibly pellet guns fired and rocks thrown and a shattered door that we saw at one point. people were redirected out other exits to get to their cars so you didn't see the type of clash that you might have seen at

previous trump rallies. i'm thinking of chicago. so you're not seeing that interaction between the trump supporters and then the trump protesters here. i think what you're seeing is if anything the interaction between these demonstrators and between the police, everything at this point fairly calm as police very slowly began to clear these streets and continue do so. obviously a pretty loud scene. hopefully you can hear me. >> there's protesters that have discovered your camera because now what they ought to do so go find a camera and say something that we can learn from. i thought that woman that you spoke to was great. she made it clear her anger was based upon what trump has done and what the governor has not done. she talked about education and poverty and she had a lot of thought there. that's what you want to hear when you cover a rally. we have the other side of the

protests. jacob. >> reporter: we'll be careful about urn itting on our light because every time we do they rush the camera and they stick up their middle fingers but when they asked these protesters who have taken over this intersection what their message is and what you're looking at by the way are the officers on horseback trying to get them out of this intersection but when we asked them what do you hope this accomplishes a lot of them will tell me they've been waiting for trump to come to their backyard ever since he said what he said about mexicans and immigrants they've been waiting to have their voice heard. they want to be noticed. so everybody can notice how angry they are. a couple of people i talked to said we don't want him to win and we don't know what do but we thought we should come out and get our voices heard and be angry just because we don't want him to win. what you're watching i think you

can see this are the officers on horseback trying to push this line back. you can tell they're a lot more aggressive than they've been. more most of the protest they have been staying in place and the people that have moved the lines were officers with gates. this is the first time we've seen the officers being this aggressive. >> we're joined by the roundtable tonight. so let's start with joan and what are you seeing here. what impact do you think this has across the board. >> i don't know yet. i think for some trump supporters it's going to make them love trump more. we have chaos in the streets. this is the tough guy that we need to have but i think it's showing other americans there is

a level of anger out there that trump has continued to dehumanize people and also people are living in conditions of really desperate poverty that we don't pay attention to cities like albuquerque. we pay attention to the older cities but albuquerque is a sprawling city with concentrated pockets of poverty and i think people have been waiting for this chance to tell their story. i don't want to get completely obsessed with the people there all night that were peaceful protesters who were trying to amass a show of peaceful restraint but to lend their faces to say we don't want this in our city and now we're going to see what unfolds with some people who are not as peace if will. >> some people come to these situations because they have that personality trait and other people make ag point.

i think it's great as many as we can get to the talk to the microphone tate better for us. >> i was at chicago. i was outside of that trump rally. >> what did you make of that. >> i was outside talking to trump supporters and to protesters and what i think protesters there you have to keep in mind a campus at a university of illinois chicago that was predominantly minority. >> do you think trump drummed that up. >> i think there may have been opportunity there for cancelling an event that didn't need to be cancelled. >> there's a way for him to make a statement by saying i'm going to go into the area that i'm going to be the most hated and i'm going to generate that to feed my own supporters and help rise their hatred and resentment but to make him get on television. i think that's what his ultimate goal is.

>> do you think he wants this picture we're looking at. >> yes. you heard a lot of people in chicago expressing the same kind of sentiments that diane was expressing but while people were getting their vent on i think trump is loving this. i think he's loving all the hatred that he inspires and he benefits from. >> the protester who hally just interviewed i found it interesting that she wasn't just protesting trump, she was protesting the governor. that is such a contrast with trump's remarks tonight because he took on the governor for giving out too many food stamps. >> she wasn't there. >> trump chose to attack her on her open turf, head of the republican association and this is something that the activists who are there in protest of trump. >> attacking her using that

language of food stamps. so we all know who he was talking about, who the criticism was really directed at was black and latino voters that frankly his voters. >> look at hailly jackson there with one of the police officers. even though we're on the east coast and it's after midnight there it's only about 10:00 out there right now. these kids look like they're available. they're young guys. they look like -- i don't think they look prooverty stricken. >> we've been doing our own research on this stuff. 92% of young voters think this whole thing is like a big reality show. they want things to be focussed on the issues and i think what you see her you might have a couple of people rushing the camera but at the end of the day these folks are sick of being

dehumanized and they want everyone to focus on the issues that trump just by his mere presence brings into the election. >> let me ask you something. it's not just trump and here's the scarey part they don't like the trump people because they think these people are buying his stuff and they don't like that attitude because they know that attitude is shared, am i right. >> yeah. those trump voters are people they run into in the local grocery and you are suspected of stealing or being looked at like they are criminal. those are the people that they have to deal. they don't have to deal with trump on a regular basis every day. they have to deal with the hatred that trump inspires and feeds off of every day. >> we've had these situations where white students at schools where they're playing minority

students and basketball start chanting trump. >> when did that start. >> it's been going on for months. >> it's crazy. he's become the symbol of sort of white defiance and to these people they're speaking back to all of his supporters. >> this is a set up that trump has been clam orrmering for for years. he wanted to do a white versus black apprentice where you had a race war on the apprentice. >> that's healthy. >> exactly. >> i'm being sarcastic. let me go to hallie jackson again. >> reporter: i'm here with one of the protesters out here. his sign says toxic trump. tell me what brought you out here? >> the message that we're all here -- what we're protesting is the hate from donald trump and everything he has in his

policies. anywhere from banning muslims to hating immigrants and women and calling mexicans rapists. you're in new mexico and what do you expect the mexican community to act like. i'm not mexican but i see the mexicans over here with their flags and they're angry at the fact that this guy comes to new mexico after he's insulted everybody. >> reporter: what do you say to the critics that this is not effective to your message. >> the point is to get the national coverage of how people feel about this issue. i think any protest that gets you guys on the mainstream to actually get the video going it's actually working because now we're getting our message across to the entire country. >> reporter: what's the end game here. >> that we're not going to tolerate trump's hate and

speech. we don't support what he stands for and this is what the people are here demonstrating. >> tell me your name and where are you from. >> i'm from albuquerque. >> reporter: are you here with an organization. >> on my own. >> reporter: you came out because you if efelt that stron about it. >> yes. >> reporter: we're going to pull off. there were a couple of other guys we were hoping to talk to. this is the line with mexican fla flags. you can see the crowd incredibly active. i'm looking for a couple of protesters. several of them have said to me they're out here obviously because they are very strongly against donald trump. they believe he's racist and they believe as you heard him coming to albuquerque after his comments about the latino community is to them offensive.

you can hear some of the protesters now behind me. i'm going to swing the camera over and see if we can get back to these guys about why they're out here. give us a minute. >> sure we'll watch you. >> reporter: come back to us in 30 second. >> i like this. >> reporter: you can see the police -- what brought you out. >> nice to meet you. >> reporter: what's your name. >> irving. >> reporter: why are you here. >> fuck trump. >> give us a sense of the element of danger if there's any here. i don't see violence yet. i did see the police car with the windshield smashed and i've heard of other incidents of low key violence so far.

what does it look like to you. >> i'm not sure what you mean by low key violence. >> i don't see any danger to anybody yet. you tell me. >> i was trying to sir. earlier in the night we had people that were throwing rocks and bottles at our police horses and shirts that had been lit on fire at our police officers. through amazing restraint by our officers no one was hurlt severely. at this point in time it looks more like a mass riot from people that aren't anti-trump but looking to cause problems. >> have any officers been injured. >> no officers have been injured at this point sir. >> what's the plan of the police to allow the people to sort of just dwindle out and let them give up or what. they're not being pushed from the scene. >> we're actively trying to move them in a general direction and trying to get them to go in order to keep them moving and get them out of the downtown

area. >> what are the role of the horses? how do you use horses in a situation like this on the mounted police? >> the horses are eight to ten police officers that can more people and more effectively. >> officer, thank you so much more joining us. our panel staying with us as we continue to watch the protests in the streets of albuquerque. it looks like it's quieting down. is this is is a special edition of hardball, a place for politics.

let's bring in robert costa of the washington post. he's gotten used to the pattern of things. how do we assess to which trump has ignited these things. >> since the beginning of his

campaign donald trump has targeted the american southwest as a hotbed for the kind of supporters he wants to have as his political base. these are people not tied to the republican party and frustrated with immigration and globalization as well. >> so to what extent does that involve what's the right word taunting, encouraging. this happened in chicago when they went to an urban school with a large minority population. trump chose to have a rally there. he had to shut it down. is that intentional. >> this is trump. it's intentional and it's from the candidate himself. this is his personality. this isn't a corey lewandowski project, this isn't paul manafort, this is donald trump. this is trump who wanted to go to arizona and showcase himself in arizona. he's gone to the boarder. he's going here to kickoff the general election in new mexico. this is who trump is, confrontation, political battle.

>> we have a lot of people that have noticed his message and don't like it, certainly the black lives people and people here today, people who are latino carrying the mexican flag. we can argue if it's an effective message. who else is out to get him? latinos? african-americans? do women's groups come out against him. >> a lot of group activists have concerns about donald trump. there's a sense that he disrupts the order across the sneephere. i think trump relishes these moments. saw it in chicago and arizona and you see it here. >> hold on. we're getting our first reaction from the trump campaign on the scenes we're watching right now. trump senior advisor tweeted

watching thugs and punks in albuquerque en route to california. they don't know what they're protesting. complete disdain for his critics. >> dan is with trump on the plane. it's with trump every minute. if he's tweeting it that means trump is giving his blessing. >> they seem to be clear what they're there about. robert costa, thank you for staying up late. much more ahead. we'll be right back after this.

we continue to watch the protest outside trump's rally in albuquerque. we've been watching a new group of protesters tonight. take it away. >> reporter: so the new group of protesters came in and they've joined up with the others and what yeou're looking at to my right is the police line that continues to push back. we'll show you the new group of proteste protesters. we now have about 200 to 300 protesters. these protesters continue to throw things at the officers and the officers respond by continuing to push the line back. so we had bottles and some ro s rocks -- we're going to have to send it back to you. we have people hitting us. >> that's a rough job out there. >> i wonder how much more of

this is going to come over the next six months. i really thought it had kind of trump had toned down a little bit his rhetoric about saying he would pay legal fees of people who beat up protesters at his events back when he was openly insighting violence. i wonder how much the push back is going to continue. >> it's not all new. i'm older than you and i'll tell you in 1968 richard nixon would go out in the streets and get on top of cars and they loved it. he would love to get movies of it and show it in nightly news. >> i thought it was calming down agts bit too but donald trump is the republican nominee. i think if you were latino immigrant you would be frankly terrified and very angry so i

can see he's going to florida. that will be interesting. he had protests the last time he was in california and i think to see the reality of him as one of 17 versus he is the standard bearer he's going to represent one of our major parties is terrifying to a lot of people. >> you've covered this now. let's project to the mid summer to july in cleveland. we had the kid being killed in the playground and then you throw in a city that's heavily moir minority and it seems we have something coming like this. >> i was born and raised in cleveland. you have a lot of resentment and folks in working class who are not getting the pay that they need and you have obviously a

heavily minority city, it's mostly black. you're going to have outside quicken loans people who are protesting against police brutality. black lives matter plus other groups. >> what's the hispanic component of your community. >> it's not terribly high but there's a significant number of people and i think people are going to be coming into cleveland also. people will come in from detroit and pittsburgh and cincinnati and all different parts of the nation. a lot of people are going to be assembled there and you will have people protesting police brutality and trump's presence and you have republicans or conservatives who are upset with the trump nomination. so you're going to have a lot of friction outside earn and ohio

is an open carry state. >> wonderful. which means you can walk into a crowd of people in a busy intersection of people and you could have you're gun in a holster showing it. >> yeah. it's an open carry state. when you think about all the people still upset about tamir rice's killing. >> when we return we're going to talk to a local reporter in albuquerque as the protests continue.

the smoke out there from police smoke grenades. protests going on in the streets of albuquerque as it closer to midnight out there as police are dealing with protesters with what was a trump rally. give us an update since we talked a few moments ago. >> reporter: i'm looking down an alley where i'm seeing protesters throwing rocks. we moved off to the left because there were a couple of c cannisters what appeared to be smoke. the situation has escalated since we lost spoke.

police cleared another block or so. i will tell you the albuquerque police believe most of the demonstrators have now disbursed. they believe the people left -- let's see if we can walk down this way. they believe most of the people left here are here to disrupt. that coming from the albuquerque police. some folks are continuing -- >> get back. >> reporter: continuing to throw rocks and pebbles. so i'm sticking with my camera crew here as we walk down to try to get out of here. so we're behind the police line now. >> do you know if that's pepper spray, the cannisters that the police are holding, the red can. >> she's choking. >> you better watch out. i couldn't stay at that spot.

robert is with us from the albuquerque newspaper. can you give us a sense of how this is moving right now? >> it seems that police are moving protesters mostly south away from the area in which the protests started. as they're doing so, fewer and fewer protesters are sticking around. it seems like the crowd is getting roudyer and the cops are more willing to push forward. >> can you give us a sense of what kind of crowd this is. these are young folks, latinos a lot of them. they have the mexican flag that show their point of view on this issue of immigration but what do you make of the crowd? you say troublemakers but a lot of young people get out and get razed up by the situation itself. >> the protests started like any other protest. people were talking about health care et cetera but there is the trump's comments with regard to

hispanics have been a big topic all along and as this has progressed many people interested in discourse have left. >> do you no he if people have been drawn out by the cameras. is the coverage drawing people out to this event tonight if you want to call them troublemakers that's probably appropriate but is the crowd growing with new faces or is it the people that have been here all night. >> i think it's growing with new faces. young folks that just got out of school today are coming out and it's people are out here to have fun if you will. so i think that the protests as it started is kind of not taking place right now. >> okay. thank you so much. let me go to hallie jackson who works for us. you're back in action? >> reporter: we moved off to the side a little bit. as you saw in that last piece of video that we showed you we got

caught up in that line as police are moving people down the street. you can get a sense of what the scene looks like. this is what's remaining of these protests. obviously much smaller. it appears as though there are new faces out here and i can tell you as we talking to folks and asking why they're out here something i've heard is we're here to see what's going on and you're seeing protesters here with a message and i can spot one woman that i spoke to earlier. let's see if we can walk up while we have a minute to see if we can chat with her. we're going to climb over here and staying back off the police line. the police are gesturing us back so we're not going to cross over yet. i have an arm on my cameraman directing him through the scene. the albuquerque police believe the people who are left are here

in order to disrupt. hi. good to see you. talk to me a little bit if you can. i know we spoke earlier about your message and why you're out here. >> i give them two hugs because the message they're trying to get across is right we're people let's love each other, that was the beginning of the protest. we were having fun. it was stop trump's hate with love and then quickly once the trump supporters started coming in and you see a trump supporters you know you -- >> reporter: go ahead. >> you're useless, go to school, get a job. when i went there with my brother and four friends who work 40 hours a week while going to school and this is the idea they have of us because they're fed this idea by trump and i don't blame them because trump is a naar sastic powerful rich

person and it's easy for them to for him to use his their fears to manipulate them. >> reporter: i have to point out you're wearing an an arkansasky shirt. how do you respond to that critici criticism. did you come here to disrupt. >> no. the only reason i'm out here now is because i didn't know what was going on. i left to pick up my mom and my family is the type of family that bernie promises to help. >> you're a bernie sanders supporter. >> yes. sorry. i think they might be -- this is wrong. >> reporter: you were saying. we're going to walk back so we can get off the sidewalk but you were saying earlier in the evening this was intended to be a stop trump protest. >> that's what most of the supporters were out. when i came here over half of these people were not trump love against hate protest. we all went out there with signs

that said things like -- there was this one group of guys -- there's always -- is it okay? >> reporter: it looks like we're going to let you go here. tell me again your name. >> mad line. i want to say i'm sorry this turned out the way it did. i can't i'm here because my brother is here and i'm worried about him and i'm trying to get him out of here and i'm trying to keep the kids away from thisle is. >> reporter: thank you. good luck. that gives you a sense of how the evening escalated as we look at some of the protesters that are out here. i can tell you that there are people throwing things now throwing items at cops and there is another cannister coming from behind us spooking the horses as you can see. police firing back. we're going to get out of the street here. i'm going to pull my cameraman back. >> you take care.

i thought that was a wonderful expressive young lady. i was captivated by her description of the room. what are we looking at here in terms of police behavior, police strategy in trying to end this evening with minimumal damage to anybody? >> reporter: they're doing a very restrained action here with the horses and the tactical lines slowly moving up. you're seeing the smoke cannisters and maybe some pepper gas earlier but they're just slowly walking. it doesn't look like they're making any arrests. they're trying to make the people leave without making arrests so far it's been handled well. >> it looks like a mixed bag. obviously we have great descriptions from the people out there tonight protesting that the evening began also from our reporters that the evening began with the people coming out there with particular grievances like a lot of the southeasterly policy of the governor there

they don't like trump's point of view. they had a clear articulate statement and then of course young people it's getting to be a summer night and i can think they have come out to see what's going on and you come out and get involved. what about the use of the smoke grena grenade. >> smoke they can use outside to hide the movement of the officers or make the crowd think it's tiear gas and make them moe away. bas basically the officers want them to leave. when i was in charge of the division so i went there frequently and interacted with albuquerque police and i know that city well and it's a very vibrant city and has a large latino, hispanic,

native-american population. these people are not violent. we saw one broken window. you see some chanting and some tires burning out but you couldn't call this a riot. >> i agree. >> a few rocks and bottles but the police are moving it through and they hope these people leave and it should be over without injuries. >> what do you think without advertising the possibilities of it in a bad way but i keep thinking about cleveland i think about the groups and these spontaneous arrival of people and what about cleveland being an urban town are we going to have something bigger than this in july. >> i think you're have a lot of protesters. we have to rely on the leadership of the state, the governor, the mayor of the city and we have to rely on the law enforcement command, the state

trooper commanders and county and city law enforcement chiefs to make sure the forces are there and they're disciplined and they can handle what's about to happen there. i think both of these conventions this year are going to see a lot of police activity. like people in new mexico they feel their backs are against the wall with donald trump, what he said about immigrants and muslims and they really feel trapped by that and they see him getting stronger and they see these conspiracy theories that he talks about and it scares them. so there's a fear there and they're reacting. >> i think probably a strong element of pride when you're humiliated in the newspapers and television and if you don't come out and say something you're passive and nobody wants to be passive in this country. thank you so much for joining us tonight. our coverage of the albuquerque

protests and this is not big time stuff here fortunately, these are some young people throwing rocks which is no the a good thing to do, it's illegal and it's violent to some extent but this is not chicago 1968, we'll be right back after this.

our reporter is here from the nbc station and he joins us on the phone. he was at the trump rally and covered the protests tonight. thank you for joining us. give us your description.

i think this is a limited problem but give me your sense. >> i was at both the actual rally that donald trump held tonight and then shortly after the rally ended i went outside and of course the streets of downtown albuquerque are covered in protesters. inside the rally it was sort of what you would expect from any of donald trump's protests that we've seen. there were protesters inside and secret service and local police took them out. a couple of women were actually taken out by their feet because they refused to go but really the big scene was outside of our convention center. that's where thousands of people are gathered and i think what ended up happening was earlier in the day there were some political groups who were there protesting with some legitimate causes and then those groups got splintered by people who were more radical and really just trying to intentionally insight violence. >> is there a lot of coverage tonight in albuquerque?

are all the local stations covering these pictures we're covering? >> absolutely. this is a huge deal. our downtown has been taken over by protesters so this is a big story for new mexico. i think the mayor of albuquerque and the governor of new mexico have had to deploy so many resources to control what's happening on our streets tonight that they really have to ask the question are we financially prepared to have more trump visits to new manage exico if t are the resources that our government will have to use. >> the police seem very restrained tonight. thank you from kob in albuquerque. our coverage continues after this. cl

clrn. isn't that nice. get him out of here. get him out. bring him home to mom. go home to mommy. go home to mommy. >> that was -- we got used to that. we haven't had it lately, that's donald trump taunting people thrown out of his rally. we're back with the panel. joy you've been away for a bit. >> yeah. >> that's an interesting crowd. i wish i got a better look at the die verversity to get a bet look at the crowd but here we are in albuquerque, new mexico. so he knew what he was doing. >> absolutely. donald trump doesn't remind me of george wallace who took a

rally like that into madison square garden and had a rally in which some of the video that you see is him throwing black protesters out and calling them all sorts of name and the only four letter word they know is soap. >> wallace was doing that. >> wallace was doing it. he was doing what trump does. he was taunting the protesters. he said if any hippie lies down in front of his car it will be the last car they lay down in front of. he used humor and ridicule to get the crowds going and the crowds go crazy as he taunts these protesters. >> something that young woman said that was wonderful who spoke to hally a little while ago talking about how this was a rally that we want to show love and we're not about hate and one of the things that happened is trump supporters -- i saw this

in fountain hills, arizona where trump supporters, little old ladies and young latino students, wonderful peaceful protesters and the trump supporters would come over and tell them to get jobs and call them ugly and push people. the level of baiting by the trump supporters was phenomenal and wags trying to turn a peaceful rally into a wild rally. >> it's interesting television coverage tonight. i think it's interesting how it's going to play in the papers tomorrow. this is going to be a story in the morning papers arnshd aroun the country and it's going to follow on what happened in chicago and it's going to be part of the rolling trouble coming into summer. the bad guys are going to get a message and they'll be there and the militants who care about the issues. it's going to be in a city that

was probably wishing they weren't there. >> it would potentially offer is a way for the democrats to unite around fighting trump. >> explain how that works. >> you see violence at these rallies. say something like this happens. >> who got elected in 1968? >> this is different. bhe you see trump alienating the growing populations in this country and you see the democrats seeking a way to unite, this provides them a path to get themselves together. >> those scenes help trump with his base. the base of people -- >> disorder encourages strength. people want strength in the face of disorder. >> he's running a wallace type of campaign.
