10:00 am
you have to look at the bigger picture. we have a huge amount of mexican-americans here in california. that's is tackling towards bernie sanders for tomorrow. >> thank you very much jacob. it is great to be here with you. that does it for us for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." live from the santa monica pier, remember to follow us online and on social media. stay with us for tomorrow's crucial primary. here is alexander picking up our coverage next. >> good morning everyone, i am live this afternoon at head quarter in new york. as we speak right now, we are following breaking news, this is coming to us from ohio. the hamilton county prosecutor, announcing the parents of the three years old boy ended up in the gorilla exhibit will not face criminal charges. the prosecutor is saying the
10:01 am
mother of the boy was tend to her child when he got away. lets listen to this. >> that's the speculation and was really -- >> what's the law of this situation like this? >> okay, first of all, and i will give you the elements of this charge of child endangering. first of all, you have to be a parent guardian and the child has to be under the age of 18. that parent must recklessly create a substantial risk to the health or safety of the child. now, when i say recklessly this is what it means in ohio. with indifference to
10:02 am
consequences and disregard of substantial or unjust fiable risks that the person conduct is likely to cause a result. a child going away it is not fofo foreseeable that he's going to fall in the gorilla cave. [ inaudible question ] >> no, i will tell you, i have been a bit taken back by some folks' moral equivalent of human life and animal life. this is a beautiful little boy and had they not acted and this animal behaves sometimes like animals behave, we could have a
10:03 am
tragedy here. it is sad enough that the gorilla was taken out but it could have been a lot worse. [ inaudible question ] >> i frequent the zoo and i talk to manor on friday, they're genuinely heartbroken of what happened. you know ultimately, i think that media fixes will solve this
10:04 am
problem of what they've done. quite frankly to get your question specifically, i have never seen a case like this. >> what is the family doing? >> the family is doing great. the investigators were very impressed with the home, the environment for the children, her attendance to her kids and the three years old that fell through outside of the couples' scrapes and bruises is fine. i mean -- i think ultimately the child may get some kind of therapy to make sure he's okay. >> could you recall the event. >> i don't know. >> i just know that the home was
10:05 am
appropriate for children at that age and qualify frankly the social workers are very impressed of the environment. >> she received death threats. she i would take it seriously. >> could you think back as you are going through evidence of this case thinking about your boy three years old and going through this. >> you know, we have been talking about this since it happened. i don't know about you all -- i might have been dead that day because i would have gone in there. i am not much of a match for that animal, unless i am armed. >> you could imagine that.
10:06 am
>> absolutely. >> joined there by our legal analyst karen desoto. this is a prosecutor from hamilton county right now and he's talking to us communicating the fact that they'll not be filing any charges against the family of that three years old who fell in the enclosure for the gorilla as it was made clear, to be child endangerment, they had to prove it is a reckless effort by the parents. if the mom had been in the bathroom, his language is doing crack, it would have been a different situation. does this resolution surprise out? >> the language does. >> the language surprises me. usually the standard is they should have known there is a dangerous environment. we are at the zoo, there is a lot of children around. we know the police did not recommend charges and they talked to all the witnesses and you are right, i would have gone
10:07 am
so far to say crack but maybe on the other side of the park on the cell phone and leaving their children unattended or maybe he tried once or twice to get into there and was pulled out and she still remain in the area. >> is it safe for parents to believe to go to the zoo and do what they do and keeping it as best as they can and they have done what they can do and up to the zoo to have enclosures created in such a way where you are not going to fall 15 feet in the gorilla. >> peter, you know being a father yourself and you turn your head one second and children are fast and they're speedy and you could lose tracks of them. >> that's what happened and accidents happen. now, when we are talking about civil liability on the part of the zoo. >> you would think there will would be all sorts of suits
10:08 am
right now. >> well, there is information reported that there is a couple of violations and other enclosures not related and told to further out keep. in the civil case that's devastating information. but, yes, the zoo have a responsibility because you should always know that there is going to be small children and you do have a responsibility and you should know or should know that children are going to climb under things and they are going to dig into things and people do crazy things so that you have to reenforce that. yes, the zoo does have some liability or could be to -- i am sure there is a hundred attorney calling this family saying hey, we may have some good case of liability here but it appears that the parents are not interested at this point. who knows, one of the legals may get through. >> it is nice to see you now. thank you. >> the prosecutors of hamilton county of ohio confirmed that his prosecutor's office will not
10:09 am
charge of the three years old child of the case of the gori a gorilla. there are other news right now today. donald trump revealing a new report that lays out the fall with trump and many publicized campaign problem and not just his controversial comments himself but more related of the bare vote campaign truckture. there he is overseeing two classes action lawsuits brought by trump's university students. this morning, newt gingrich calling the attack of judge curiel inappropriate. >> as far as newt was concerned, i saw newt and i was surprised and i thought it was inappropriate. >> all i am trying to do is why i am being treated unfairly by the judge. >> nbc's news reporting hi
10:10 am
him -- quickly responding to stories like trump on the judge. on the internet this morning, that trump appeared to push back on twitter writing "i am getting bad marks from certain pundits because i have a small campaign staff." we have reports and analysis. the primary season, our team has gathered. we want to start with nbc's katy tur that's covering donald trump campaign. tell us more what the source is telling you and it is obviously gotten to donald trump. >> reporter: following this campaign now for about ten or
10:11 am
eleven months, donald trump prides himself on the small seize of his campaign. he believes it is good management and saving money and does not need a greater campaign to get out his message and in some ways that's correct. donald trump can send out one tweet for an event and 14,000 people will show up to that event. that's extraordinary effective for them. as they get in the general election and as donald trump refuses to pivot the general election and is not beefing himself up on policies or his staff up behind the scenes, comicom . there are many source in the campaign telling us they are worried about the candidate specifically when it comes to judge curiel's comment. and party leadership coming out
10:12 am
and saying they don't agree with these comments and distant themselves from them and source frs t s from the campaign saying this is the type of comments that'll end up taking this campaign down. because of that, donald trump is lashing out of the media. the reality is behind the scenes there are few people that are trying to formulate talking points. he has no communication staff and part of the problem is hard to hire people for this campaign and people feeling like no matter how much prep they do, donald trump will ultimately go out and say whatever he wants, peter and that's what we are seeing time and time again with campaign trails and news conferences in the past 11 months. >> katy tur is outside trump tower right now. >> hillary clinton is 19 delegates away from clinching the democratic nomination. president obama could be ready to endorse his former secretary of state. we are keeping it close with our
10:13 am
white house podium. if we hear him comment on that and of course, we'll bring it to you. boxing, verlander holyfield, he will be live with us at this hour of the death of muhammad ali . how this icon raised religion and politics. sometimes those seats are out of reach, costing an outrageous number of miles. it's time to switch... to the capital one venture card. with venture, you'll earn unlimited double miles on every purchase, every day. and you're readto travel, just book the flight you want, on any airline and use your miles to cover t cost. now that's more like it. what's in your wallet? weinto a new american century. born with a hunger to fly and a passion to build something better. and what an amazing time it's been,

10:15 am
10:16 am
live on msnbc, top officials including many trump backers making sure to put distance between themselves and trump's attack on judge curiel. >> is that a racist thing? >> i could not disagree more of the statement like that. >> this is one of the worst
10:17 am
mistakes he has made. >> the comment about the judge, i don't relate to and i completely disagree of the thinking behind that. >> it is not just -- ill informed or ignorant statement but he's suggesting that when he's president after november that perhaps, he will go after that judge. that's a whole new level. >> republican senator, susan colins issued the following statement "donald trump's comments on the ethnic heritage of the judge is unacceptable." john kasich joining the chorus, attacking on the race is another tactic dividing the country and flatly it is out right wrong." >> for a muslim judge you would
10:18 am
feel they would not be able to treat you fairly because of that policy? >> it is possible. >> the man of bloomberg politics and co-host, with all due respect. we'll see you again here at 6:00 on msnbc. >> for the moment, trump should retract his comments and of this awkward dance and so many republicans are in right now are trying to in effect condemns the word to support the new candidacy. >> one of the new normals and there are plenty of nominees with disagreements. >> it is not something up for election. when you got newt gingrich and
10:19 am
is a regular advisor and the two top republican of congress of paul ryan and mitch connell is reputeuated. >> and john, in simple language right now, there is all sort of controversial statements and this is the end of donald trump and he's defined political gravity to be 16, but, this is different because now it is not one of the 17 names of the primary. he's the presumptive nominee and the de facto head of the party. is trump going too far here? is this one different? >> well, it is different on this. part of the things there -- one is he is the presumptive nominee of the party. he had remarkable success or has had remarkable success against predictions of many people in
10:20 am
unifying the party. now, a lot of the same people who endorsed him backed him are now attacking him. that's a huge difference not just because he's the presumptive nominee. now, he's basically on the wrong side of the vast majority of his party and now i think this is widen the aparneparels and presenting a different kind of challenge. this is the case that republicans across the board who are anomaly backing him are now going to be on a position and special on this soeet of commen are attacking him and that's a huge problem for donald trump as much as the party itself. >> mark, you heard katy tur reporting on donald trump and not a lot of voices traveling
10:21 am
with him and donald trump is the campaign manager and he's fund raising and sort of off things. what is your analysis of the kind of unorthodox he's running right now with the real risks that it provides. >> well, when things are going well, his analysis is right where he established a new models of how to do things. things are not going well right now. when you are being second guessed across the board, you have to raise the question whether the system is in place to have that kind of campaign you need. longer term when you need to be competitive and 25 to 30 states when you need to meet with other people in the party and when you need to cut radio ads. the kind of team that trump had is not scaled to do what a presidential campaign need to do. >> john, what strikes me is that it is been twelve days consistency the state department ig came out of clinton's e-mail
10:22 am
practices. that would have been the focus of days of intent and scrutiny. maybe 36 hours and that story was gone because of comments by trump or controversies that he stirred and forced himself under the fence once again >> right. if you think about it from the press conference which he attacked in a personal way of a lot of members in the media and the fact that he made these comments of judge curiel throughout the week and then when clinton launched her broadside against him on thursday of trump university got controversy and the response to that is not adding her or going back to his nickname. there was a target environment for trump last week but it maybe
10:23 am
the worst week of campaign for him so far. >> gentlemen, nice to see you, thanks very much. >> thanks peter. >> you can watch "with all due respect" at 6:00 p.m. eastern time on msnbc. first, today's microsoft pulse question. >> "should bernie sanderss unite with hillary clinton or continue this fight until the democratic convention" the poulse is lifves we speak. cast your votes right now. muhammad ali ' remains in his hometown of louisville, kentucky, we'll talk to the champ, verlander holyfield, of the legend and the man that holy

holyfield's foundation. it is nice to speak with you, thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> you said muhammad ali gave the courage to become champ. >> ali was the greatest. i asked my mom and my mom told me that i can be like ali. the thing he stood for and he believed and he changed his name. when a person love and i feel god. if we love god, we should come together and this is what he preached all the time by coming together. >> you talk about his faith and muhammad ali was far than a
10:29 am
boxing legend. he transcended politics and race and religion. he nearly lost everything by declaring a muslim by saying because of his faith he will not fight in the vietnam war. talk about how ali changed the way sports and religion intersect. >> well, it put him forefront for one thing of the judge here, when you -- when you hasay you e going to do it, did you do it? everything ali said he's going to do, he did it. he had a lot to lose and he didn't care about it. >> did that live for a generation of fighters like yourself who faces of part of who you are as a person? >> it is, it is all about faith. if you say something then you got to standby it.
10:30 am
the fact the matter is, this is the reason why you got to prove who you are. i think that when you came down to his faith, he was prove proven -- this is where you live and he did this is what made him so great. >> verlander holyfield, following up of ali's secret views. when donald trump proposed his muslim ban, donald trump, praised ali in the wake of his death even though he's not backing up of the decisive rhetoric. >> even in depth of religious. >> i truly believe it is because of the fact that i have become a
10:31 am
champ and i let everybody know that it is god that helped me. i believe that and said it in front of people and i know some people don't like it. >> what is the political conversation of one faith and whether or not it is appropriate and donald trump saying even a muslim judge may not be fairly overseeing the case he's involved in because he proposed the ban on muslim immigrants. what's your thought? >> well, i try -- i don't thi think -- i don't know enough to speak on that >> yes, waes look as we look at live right now and at the town where ali will be honored all week long. we have seen so many photos of the two of you together and private conversations, would

10:37 am
clinch the nomination. the question is is it much of a presidential endorsement of anything else. what are you heard of barack obama weighing in. >> reporter: well, the new york times of course, was reporting the endorsement from president obama for hillary clinton comes as early this week and the white house confirmed that. a call with the white house was on bernie sanders -- white house officials say the president has been in contact with the sanders campaign. so interesting signs of foot about how this may move forward and the question really is now on bernie sanders' shoulders and how he will go forward. >> some advisors have been with sanders and only with sanders
10:38 am
and others have deeper experience decide in democratic party as a whole. he's receiving conflicting advise and that's been true for months and how he proceeded with this campaign. what changed over the course of the last six months is that when they first started six months or years since he got into this race, their first hurdle was simply credibility convincing people that he was a plausible democratic nominee. there may have been a little bit different of his challenge for hillary clinton would be as strong ast was. he fell far behind. he has not been able to dig his way out. >> i am going to interrupt you. i want to take our audience to the white house right now of the comment of donald trump kre
10:39 am
recently. >> let me make one observation about that. some who weighhave weighed in o opinions are our republicans who served in the united states senate. they have rather things to say. i guess i would point out a little ironic for republicans in the senate who have concerns of views as it relate to judges to also say they are not going to confirm any judges o f the republican nominee. that's certainly is true at the supreme court level. it is evidence, it is additional
10:40 am
evidence of the unconfidentabmf position trying to adopt here when it comes to not doing their job. look, this applies to other federal other judges as well. there are a variety of well qualified obama's nominees of two judges both of the appellate level and the district level. who would fill vacancy. this is not just the president deciding willing that he want to fill traditional vacancies. in some cases you have judges in these circuits saying we need help in order to manage the case load and in order to prevent the kind of backlog that would potential delay justice. yet, republicans even when faced with well qualified nominees and
10:41 am
some of whom who have earned the support of the judciary committee. >> i thithe amendment of the republican presidential nominee to discuss maturely of our system of justice. >> i remember a few months ago during a contest, you guys went out of your way to say comments of some of the republican nominees if not announced by
10:42 am
republicans, so to the point where there is been high profile endorsements within racism of republican senator like you mentioned. do you think this is an issue that voters should be paying attention of what donald trump said about the judge and do you think should republican leaders should withdraw? >> we were listening to josh earnest of the judge that trump made a comment on. trump refused to back down the claim that the judge is biassed. take a listen. >> this judge is giving us unfair hearing. i am building a wall and it is a wall between mexico
10:43 am
>> he's not from mexico. >> he's mexican heritage. >> his heritage is mexican because why because i want to build a wall. >> would you feel other judge would not be able to treat you fairly because of your policy? >> it is possible, absolutely. >> alfonso aguilar, under president george bush. it is nice to see you right now. you heard those quotes. your gut though as you hear those comments from donald trump repeating them and not just doubling them but tripling down the effect as well. >> well, i have to cringe. frankly i believe with newt gingrich that those comments are inexcusable to say that this federal judge somehow is treating him poorly in the case surrounding trump university because of his mexican ancestry.
10:44 am
>> i was going to say john kasich is telling trump to apologize and he referred to mitch mcconnell and corker and paul ryan all came out against the attack. we support the campaign and the candidacy but we are not okay with that language. we have not heard from the rnc. do you think the kmicommittee w be vocal about this and this represents the party now. >> from the rnc is kind of hard because they have to defend the can date. i am sure t candidate. i am sure that the rnc is reaching out to try to discuss what's going on. the problem with trump is stubborn and he does not like to apologize. if he cannot apologize just don't continue to defend your statement, just don't say anything. >> you recently said that you would encourage latinos to participate in the election. your language was in record numbers but you said the leave
10:45 am
of the presidential ballot is empty. is that what you have deny boeing. what do you say to undecided latino in the country and a voting block not that it votes as a block of community per se but latino in the country makes a hugely significant population when it comes this small. >> latinos are frustrated and they see a can date and donald trump insulting them and they see hillary clinton and they see that she's trying to use for political gain of the latino community. so it is a difficult choice for latinos and all americans. at this point of mr. trump's comments and immigration, i call on latinos come out and do their patriotic duty and and vote in record number. send a clear message to both parties that they cannot use those politically and we are not going to let them insult us. let me tell you, our latinos don't see clinton as an
10:46 am
alternative to donald trump. >> i want to follow up on that. we heard from mitch mcconnell and he said as others are fearing now that this maybe a bearing gold water type moment here when in fact back then african-americans ran away from the party, do you think this is in effect of that type of moment for the republican party and for the long time of understanding of the critique of clinton as well. what's the impact of this moment. >> now, i would not kmexaggerat of the impact. because latino is not -- we have a republican candidate who is engaging in the hispanic community and who is constru constructive in engagement, latinos are willing to consider
10:47 am
candidates constructive. the impact of trump is immediate in this election and i think he's going to have a hard time getting the support of enough latino voter to prevail and he will definitely affect candidates running for congress and senate. the impact is immediately. now, the question hillary, the problem with hillary if you look at the polling while trump is fall ing 20s. hillary is polling in 50% or 60%. he needs latinos to come out in big numbers and support her by a higher margin. >> at this point in the campaign four years ago, obama was polling 70% with latinos. that's not the case with hillary clinton. >> alonso aguilar, very nice to see you, thank you very much.
10:48 am
>> good seeing you. the washington post, social media blew up with the interview question of women now being allowed to serve in combat military blew up in a good way. concluding the crown was hers and that moment here it was. >> the pentagon recently made the decision to open up all combat jobs to women, now, some have questioned whether this has put political correctness over our ability to perform at the highest level, what are your thoughts. >> as a woman of the united states army -- [ cheers ] >> i think it was an amazing job by our government to allow women to integrate to every branch of the military. we are just as tough as men and as a commander and as a
10:49 am
commander of my unit, i am powerful, i am dedicated and it is important that we recognize that gender does not linked us to the united states. >> pretty good, right? >> barbara joined the military at the age of 17, her mom and dad and siblings have all served and her father was deployed in iraq after the 9/11 attacks. okay... what if a million people download the new app? we're good. five million? good. we scale on demand. hybrid infrastructure, boom. ok. what if 30 million people download the app? we're not good. we're total heroes. scale on demand with the number one company in cloud infrastructure. 80% but up to 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more.

florida's governor just declared a state of emergency in 34 counties as tropical storm colin approaches ground near the gulf of mexico. the storm is carrying 50-mile-an-hour winds as well as torrential rain. >> we have the risk of tornadoes, we have the risk of lightning, hail, if you're going to be close to the water, we're going to have rip currents. so we have the risk of all those things. >> that was florida's governor rick scott there supposed to be in new york today meeting with donald trump. instead, staying at home to help

not caused by a heart valve problem. but i won't play anything less than my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'm going for it. eluis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin... eliquis had both... that's what i wanted to hear. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you t as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and inare case fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or aormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... ...and it matake longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seekmmediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i accept i don't play quite like i used to. but i'm still bringing my best. and going for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke plus less major bleeding.

ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. hillary clinton by our count is 19 delegates short of clenching the nomination. six contests including the big ones in california and new jersey mean she will also certainly cross that threshold tomorrow, it may happen before the california polls close. but bernie sanders is vowing to take his fight to the convention in philly saying it will be
10:57 am
contested. eight years ago, of course, it was a different story. senator sanders endorsed barack obama two days after he clenched the nomination in early june telling "the burlington free press" i plan to play a very active role. i will do everything i can to see he's elected president. steve kornacki is here to breakdown the math. steve, give us a sense. how does this all play out and how soon do we have our presumptive nominee? we are hearing two mixed messages here. we are hearing hillary clinton is on the verge of being called the presumptive nominee. bernie sanders is saying no way, this is a contested convention. so what is exactly going on here? let's try to give you a sense of where these things are coming from. first of all on the question of the presumptive nominee, let me explain what that means. hillary clinton's delegate total, we have it at 2364. remember, you need 2383 to become the democratic nominee. that means she's 19 short of hitting that number right now. and here's the thing, tomorrow night, all these primaries, look
10:58 am
at all these contests on the board. number of delegates at stake in each of them. she comes into this night down 19. 19 short of that number. no way, she's not going to hit this number at some point tomorrow, very likely at 8:00 in new jersey. 126 delegates on the board there. that means if and when she hits that number, she's declared the presumptive nominee. now what bernie sanders is saying is, forget that, it's going to be a contested convention. why is he saying that? here's why. it's because this number, the number of pledged delegates that you win in these primaries and caucuses she's not going to hit, even with what she gains tomorrow, she's not going to hit 2383 just with pledged delegates. she's going to need some of these superdelegates. and what sanders is saying these are superdelegates that say they are with hillary clinton. they are committed to hillary clinton. but there's nothing etched in stone about that. technically any of them could change their mind at any point between now and the democratic national convention. so he says, hey, if she's short
10:59 am
that number in pledged delegates, why can't i spend the summer making my case to the superdelegates getting them to change their minds and i can hit that number. that's what he says. the problem is, what do you tell the superdelegates overwhelmingly with hillary clinton? could you tell them, hey, i got more pledged delegates in the primary? no, he won't catch her here. could you tell them, hey, i got more votes in the primaries than she did, you should go with the one who got the most votes. no, she's gotten 3 million more votes than bernie sanders. he doesn't have that argument to make and doesn't have history on his side. we have never seen at the end of a primary season someone flip the kinds of numbers that superdelegates he would need to. so there it is, that's why we call her and would call her the presumed nominee. could change, but everything we know about history and the state of this race says she would be presumed to be the nominee at that point. >> that's why we call him the maestro with the magic board. steve kornacki, thank you.
