in office, tweeting about the campaign style rally in harrisburg. some big excitement there last night in the great state of pennsylvania. a fantastic crowd of people. make america great again. then on to the democrats without a leader have become the party of obstruction. they are only interested in themselves and not in what's best for us. and then finally, health care, you can't compare anything to obamacare, because it's dead. democrats want millions to go to insurance companies and new health care plan is on its way. we'll have much lower premiums and deductibles and taking care of pre-existing conditions. let's go to kelly o'donnell at the white house. it was a busy morning for her. it was going to be an early morning of tweets a and we got some of that. let's look forward, apparently he's looking at the 101st and 102nd. >> absolutely. the punch line from hasan minhaj

is tweeting at 3:00 a.m., well, i think it began at the 8:00 hour that we noticed that the prent was back on twitter. looking ahead, t president is talking abt the health car overhaul that republicans are drying to do to unwind -- trying to do to unwind obamacare. they believe they it's within their reach to pass a plan to make significant changes and at the same time, there are questions about how much the public is behind the idea. so that's still percolating. they're saying possibly this week, but we don't have a timetable set. the president went to pennsylvania to sort of champion his version of the first 100 days, the thing he's focused on. talking about executive orders. talking about some of his ideas like building the wall. that hasn't happened yet of course and the funding is not in the initial bit of funding package they're still working on. that's going to be delayed, he

said. but he insists that will still take place and of course things like trade deals that he has spoken about and got a lot of attention for during the campaign season. the president said he's reworking some of those and studying all of the trade deals to see how the u.s. could better benefit. and he is also renegotiating nafta, maybe one of the most talked about of the trade deals. he withdrew from the transpacific partnership which involved the united states and pacific countries. so the president says he's got a lot to do. he acknowledged that this job isn't exactly what he thought it would be. but he does say he loves it. and he's working hard. so richard, i think the next chapter -- i don't know if we'll measure it by 100 days or if we'll wait until congress breaks in august to do the next big report card. but they say they have got a lot to do and they recognize that they haven't put any big legislation on the board yet. richard? >> kelly, you know how we measure it. it's minute by minute or day by day. >> we'll be here, my friend.

>> especially at the white house. speaking of which, the tax reform plan, day by day, week by week. when do we expect to see another development on this? >> well, ty gave us sort of an outline, som broad brush strokes, just bullet points about wanting to reduce the tax rates for corporations and individuals and simplify how we taxes. the best guess we have, the ongoing work to turn that into legislation, it would take months aed a minimum and possibility into next year. democrats have a lot of concerns about that too. and some conservatives are saying that the cost to offset those tax cuts if they were passed into law would mean a bigger federal deficit so there's a lot of negotiating that will need to take place. but the purpose was for the president to before the 100 day mark at least outline the principles and many people like the sound of tax cuts so he wanted to get that in before the report card on 100 days was filed. >> one of the things we're

watching the gdp and the unemployment rate which is changing right now which will certainly affect that tax reform plan. nbc's kelly o'donneo'donnell, t you. foreign policy still at the top of to do list yesterday. yesterday, in a tweet he called the latest failed missile test disrespectable to china and this morning john mccain took issue with the president's position. >> i disagreed with the president's tweet about north korea by continuing to test disrespected china. they disrespected us and the numerous agreements made by three previous presidents. >> last night in harrisburg, pennsylvania, president trump addressed that very topic of getting tough on all foreign trade deals as well. >> we are reviewing every single trade deal and wherever there is cheating, we will take immediate action and there will be penalties. >> all right. joining me right now national

politics correspondent for "newsweek," we have nina and bloomberg'arhett john. nina, what we heard in the speech yesterday was clearly trying to split the difference, right? when it comes to china and north korea. and then the manipulation of currency. where do you think he's going and do you think he's doing a good job of splitting the difference here because china is needed but maybe not totally essential. >> well, it's hard to tell. you know, i mean, he's speaking to his base. he's got his a hundred-day -- he's got the 00 days on his mind that's why he went to harrisburg to talk to the people. i take issue with him saying he's having a great time. he's enjoying himself in front of his crowds in a place like harrisburg. but in terms -- >> getting a recharge. >> yeah. in terms of china and north korea i mean, it seems to me that he is leading with bluster and trying to -- you know, he's

got a kind of a crazy man there. kim jong un. you get the kind of enemies that you deserve. and kim jong un has this american president who unlike the last no drama president is all about drama. his whole game is not to be predictable. so we don't know what he's doing. and he wants them to make -- to feel that he doesn't -- that they don't know what he's doing. that he doesn't know what he's doing perhaps. >> and part of that might be fight fire with fire. fight bluster with bluster. and it may work with kim jong un given that kim jong un is also a lover of media messaging, a lover of big grand gestures such as -- such was the missile test this weekend. >> yeah, i think one thing that was interesting, we saw this morning trump saying, kim jong un is a smart cookie. that people have been trying to take away his power and he still

managed to keep it. so i think that trump does respect people who -- he respects strong men. he respects tough leaders. so i think -- but i think the problem is when you look at how trump's foreign policy or lack of a foreign policy is perceived by congress is perceived by our other allies. that's where this fight fire with fire, this tough guy strategy doesn't work. >> and when we look at nafta, nina, specifically as he was talking about it and addressing on the topic in harrisburg to again his supporters, harrisburg we're looking of course about the issues that matter to them. which way is he going though? because we have heard differentiated messaging that come from the man himself and those that work for him. >> again, he's speaking to people in pennsylvania who rely on things like coal and heavy industry and they have lost a lot of employment there. he has been talking to them all along. when gary cohn from goldman

sachs his national economic adviser comes on on the scene, there's a whole different conversation going on. so that's a lot of kabuki theater here with, you know, we are going to tear up these trade plans and then you've got the gary cohns and, you know, the adults in the room behind the scenes talking about things in a much difference tenor. i think thats -- i think when he says the things to people in harrisburg they need to take it with a grain of salt but they don't want to. they want happy talk. >> but we're hearing something in between. president trump himself saying well, let's headache -- hang on a second. what might that adjustment be that will be amenable to both sides of this argument? >> i think it's hard to tell. i mean, like as you have seen in trump's administration he does have the t opposing sides. in congress he has the two opposing sides. he has conservatives and he has

moderates. so trump he changes sort of day by day on the different things. sort of depends on which side of the argument he's listening to. so it's really -- it really is hard to tell where he's going to fall on trade deals. where he's going to fall on a lot of these policies that we have seen him go back and forth on. as he's sort of learned on the job how complicated these issues are. >> all right, have a good sunday. >> thanks. next, president trump versus the american court system. he has considered breaking up the ninth circuit court of appeals where judges have blocked two of his executive actions. and activists are preparing for tomorrow's protest against the president's labor and immigration policies. more on what's called a day without immigrants. good morning! um, i got something on this, but i'm not quite sure what it is. it's jelly.

president trump does not like to lose, but he has had to deal with defeat in the courts a few times since taking office. his latest executive order for instance that was blocked that cracked down on so-called sanctuary cities. the president responded with this. >> were you surprised by the ninth circuit ruling? >> i'm never surprised by the ninth circuit. as i said, we'll see them in the supreme. >> it wasn't the ninth circuit court of appeals the court that refused to reinstate the travel ban behind the decision, by the way. it was a federal court judge in san francisco. nevertheless, president trump said he's looking at breaking up the ninth circuit. attorney general sessions voicing his concern about the court. take a listen. >> the greatest threat to the independence of the judiciary is if judges become more political. people cease to believe they're

deciding opinions based on law -- >> is that what you believe about the ninth sir kirt judges? >> joining us is ari melber and carrie johnson. can he do this? >> the congress can always change the way that the court system is set up because originally in the constitution you have a supreme court and all the lower courts within created. so in theory, you could do any number of things. this has been though a fairly fringe conservative idea, because there's a circuit they don't like and many are considered moderate and right of center, but there's one over here that's believed to be more left, that you'd break it for that reason, it would be seen as inappropriate but it's technically possible. >> how long might it a take? would it really make a difference long term in terms of these eos being stopped by a court, a district in this country? >> so it would require congressional action as you know, congress hasn't been able

to get much done lately. and it may not have the result that president trump and attorney general jeff sessions desire which is to break up the court into the current ninth circuit into go -- into two pieces which are republican dominated. that would not happen in a clear breakup of the ninth circuit and the president has criticized them for being the most overruled circuit by the supreme court. it turns out those facts are not accurate. the ninth circuit does have a reversal rate that's in line with many of the other courts around the country. >> ari, we were listening to attorney general sessions there worried about judges becoming more political. in your time as you have been watching is this something that all of a sudden that changed in the last 100 days? >> no, not at all. indeed in the context they were republican appointed judges that ruleagainst him. this is a ruling about how the federal government can use money

to press states. and typically it has been conservatives who have been concerned about federal government overreach. indeed, one of the key opinions cited in this case that says you can't just beat up on the so-called sanctuary cities and threaten them and all sorts of ways with all sorts of funding and it cites the supreme court opinion on obamacare that justice roberts said that the federal government couldn't just withhold all kinds of mo'ne because states didn't want to participate in obamacare. in my experience here if you look at this, the courts aren't knowsly looking -- necessarily looking at it quote/unquote if there was an "d" or an "r," this was a federalism issue. this doesn't end well, fdr tried to adjust the actual composition of the supreme court because he didn't like the rulings back in '37. that went down in flames. the judiciary committee saying it was an envision of judicial

power such as never tried in this country and should be rejected. >> carrie, president trump emphatically rejecting what is happening right now, but saying we'll see you in the supreme court for sanctuary cities. we have neil gorsuch on the supreme court. any of the statements or the addition of gorsuch going to change anything here to get his way basically? >> you know, the president has talked about this most recent ruling from san francisco from the judge who was unelected. well, of course, federal judges are nominated by presidents and confirmed by senates. and the most meaningful action that president trump could take if he's unhappy with rulings by judges is to fill the 121 federal and judicial vacancies around the country. over the course of the next 3 1/2 years or so he'll have an opportunity to do that. even some of the judges nominated by him have been

suspicious of the travel ban. they have been using the president's statements against him. in ruling against the white house aims and the aims of the justice department. aside from appointing and filling judges for those federal judge vacancies, president trump might want to take the advice of some lawyers i talk toed which is to keep your mouth shut, stop tweeting about this in ways that can be used against you in courts of law. >> by the way, you might know it's sunday, and that means we have ari melber at 5:00. what have you got? >> everybody knows that by now. >> carrie was tweeting about it earlier. >> we're covering where we go in the post hundred days, where this toks proposal announced is a plan or a bumper stick. a linguist has advice for the movement. and a proposal to fund the wall with mexican drug money, is that

legal? >> the linguist, that's based on the topic -- >> words. always words. >> ari melber, master of words, thank you as always. if you both tweet about it, we both like it. >>still ahead, the first 100 days of melania trump. we'll look at how she's revised the role of the first lady. also breaking news, deadly tornados hitting texas last night. several were hospitalized after the severe weather. a live report from the town of canton.

at crowne plaza we know

business travel isn't just business. there's this. 'a bit of this. why not? your hotel should make it easy to do all the things you do. which is what we do. crowne plaza. we're all business, mostly. there's a series of deadly tornadoes and flash floods that tore through arkansas, mississippi and missouri and parts of texas. that system killing ten people. so far. the hardest hit was canton, texas. massive tornadoes killing four and injuring 52 others. the tornados have left behind a path of destruction, overturned

cars and downed power lines. want to go to texas government greg abbott in the middle of a briefing. let's join in. >> some of the tremendous leaders who have been helping their citizens and constituents respond to this. they include state senators bob hall and brian hughes. state representatives goodin, flynn and hefner. the county judge wolf, van sant county judge, police chief ellison, fire chief sanford. fire captain horton. as well as some folks i didn't get down who we have from henderson county, but i know they're represented here today as well as the folks out in the field working. very importantly, we want to recognize the tremendous first responders who spent a long night last night and all day today who have been working tirelessly to help people who are in need.

as well as countless volunteers who have helped people respond to this challenge. also, there are more than 300 people who are state employees who are working on this tragedy. employees who work in various state departments helping to respond. a leader of which is nin kid, who heads up the texas department of emergency management. as we gather today there are certain usual gent priorities that we are -- urgent priorities that we are focused on. the first is to look after the lives of those affect by this. that includes first and foremost doing anything and everything we can to ensure that anybody whose life is endangered that we can do anything about saving and protecting that is our top priority. the second priority is to

safeguard and ensure the surrounding area of anybody who may be endangered. that means going through the process of search and rescue. there are people associated with these organizations represented here today who are as we speak going door to door, house to house, building to building to find out if there is anybody in those houses or buildings and make sure that we locate them and get them to safety if at all possible. a third thing that we're working on is shelter. do you have that map? >> yes. >> who produced this map? >> we did. >> this is a map produced by the texas division of emergency management. you can hold it up. these are -- it's important that you understand what this is a map of. these are three different stretches where tornadoes touched down.

the kind of yellow color is the swath of where the tornado touched down. the blue -- this is the important part, according to information that we have, each blue dot on there indicates an address where there was a building of some type. it could have been a home, could have been a business. could have been something else. but a building or facility that was impacted by these tornadoes. there are more than 5,000 addresses that are impacted by these tornadoes which shows the urgency that we have today to make sure we get to all 5,000 -- really about 5,100 to find if there's anybody who remains in danger. also, ifou loo at the longest swath, we have heard some reports yet unconfirmed that there's a possibility that one of these tornados was on the ground for up to a 50-mile stretch which would be the

longest stretch of a tornado on the ground that i have ever heard of. well, let's also mention two other things that we're focused on in our priorities. another one is utility restoration. others behind me will have chance to shed more light upon that. just know that we understand for all the people who live in this region that you want your power returned and restored and there are people who are working on that as aggressively and quickly as possible. and then we get into the priority of damage assessment. it's important for all of those who have been damaged in any way by this tornado, that they are going to have their damages assessed and responded to as swiftly as possible. those priorities aside, there are certain needs -- certain needs that must be met for those who have been harmed by these tornadoes. you know, one thing that we see

whenever catastrophe strikes in the state of texas, texans want to be very, very helpful. they want to donate something. we admire and respect and we appreciate all of their donations very much. this is important, however. that is it's important that your donations be made very strategically, very thoughtfully. here's the deal. we want you to donate something that can and will be used by those who have been harmed by these tornados. so we want you to think about what you want to donate. i can tell you that the most effective thing that you can donate would be money. let me give you an easy example. you may think you want to donate people to -- donate clothing to those who lost all their clothing. a monetary donation that would allow those who lost all their clothing would enable them to go out and purchase clothing of

their size and shape that would fit them. we cannot at this moment identify the appropriate entity to provide that donation to do ensure a -- it gets to the victims of this. your county judge will identify for you here in the coming hours if not in the next day, the appropriate location to send monetary donations to to help the victims of these tornadoes. that would be the best thing you can donate. now, there are other things that you may want to donate. could be water, or other types of supplies. right now, the one location identified for you to provide those donations to is the ems station in canton at 600 industrial. that is the ems station in canton at 600 industrial where you can drop things off. now, speaking of dropping things off, one thing that we could use

that could be donated would be a warehouse. we reay nd a warehouse where people can drop off. it could be water, could be food. it could be clothing. it could be building supplies to help people, farmers or ranchers to help rebuild their property, but need a centralized location where all that stuff can be dropped off. if there's anybody who -- >> governor abbott in texas giving up the update 3:31 local time. charles hadlock on the ground in canton, looking at some of the damage there. you and i are both listening to this here, charles, and what is important to understand there in texas is what the governor is saying, this could be the longest in terms of the number of miles that a tornado has touched down. he was saying 50 miles. >> yeah. it's unusual to have a long track tornado in texas. especially east texas. for whatever reason, the tornadoes that generally hit this area are the light ones. the ones that just touch down

for a mile or so. but for one to be on the ground for that long is very unusual. in fact, the mayor says that this track perhaps was a mile -- perhaps a half mile wide and 15 miles long through parts of the county here. van sant county. mayor lou ann everett took a tour of the damage here earlier. here's what she had to say about it. >> the damage was extensive and the fact that -- in the effective areas. i have driven through some of it and it is heart breaking and upsetting to say the least. there was a hasty search done last night. but they were extremely hampered by the multiple tornadoes, the rains, and the lack of excess -- >> people in east texas were warned about this storm yesterday. so they were expecting some trouble. in fact, at this venue here this is called the rusted barn.

it's place where receptions are held. last night, they were holding a prom here that was to begin at 7:00 p.m. at 6:15 p.m., people's cell phones started going off, alerts and text messages about a possible storm. they looked outside and sure enough, the sky was black and the winds were howling. they huddled inside the bathroom here, the workers here, before the prom started. 20 workers huddled inside the bathroom and survived the collapse of this building. had the storm come a little bit later, just 45 minutes later, more than a hundred people would have been in the venue celebrating a party. it could have been very, very tragic scene here. as it is, no one was killed here, but in the county itself at least four people were killed. including one person who was ejected from a car that was swept up in the storm. now, the governor mentioned power. power is a big problem here. it's going to take a while to get the power back on in this

county. mainly because four large transmission towers that feed power into this county have been knocked down. it's going to take a while, richard, for that to -- for workers to put those towers back up and get the power back into this county. not to mention the local power lines that are down. >> it's still early on. and we're of course concerned about the injured and the death count and we'll keep an eye on it here on msnbc. charles hadlock, thank you so much, my friend. next, the impact of the rodney king riots, 25 yrs later after four police officers were found not guilty in the beating. how race relations have changed or not in los angeles and the entire united states. and bad breath. that's why there is biotene, the # 1 dry mouth brand recommended by dentists. biotene. for people who suffer from a dry mouth. ♪

it's been 25 years since riots rocked los angeles. the city exploded in violence after four police officers were acquitted of beating rodney king. in the wake of the chaos more

than 50 dead, thousands arrested and a billion in property was destroyed. some of the underlying issues that made south los angeles such a powder keg were poverty and joblessness. today, it's still too real by all accounts. aditi, good to see you. >> great to see you too, richard. hard to imagine that it was 25 years ago that the verdict in the rodney king case sparked a firestorm of controversy. the riots lasted nearly a week. left nearly 50 dead and caused more than $1 billion worth of damage. at the heart of the outrage was a sense of social injustice stemming from the verdict and economic inequality among the different races living in south l.a. and the rest of the country. let's take a look at some data. this was compiled for us by the center for the study of immigrant integration. in 1990, half the people living in south l.a. were african-american. 45% were latino. 2.5% was white and 1.7% were

asian american pacific islanders. jump to 2015, a very different picture. many african-americans moved to the suburbs and now make up 29% of the population. that's 21% decrease. meantime, more latinos have moved into the area increasing their population by 20% to 65%. the white population has stayed roughly the same and asian americans make up 2.2% of the community. much of the racial tensions during the uprising was between korean americans and african-americans. just days after the rodney king beating, 15-year-old latasha harlins was shot to death by a store owner and he thought she was shoplifted. a judge sentenced her to probation and she never served jail time for the crime. tensions between the two communities boiled over during the riots.

a report says that 2,220 korean businesses were looted or burned. 30 to 40% of the total damage. economics also playing a large role in fuelling tensions between the two communities. take a look in 1990, african-americans made a median household income of about $34,000. compared to $40,000 for asian americans. that number for latinos was nearly $38,000 and for whites it was nearly $36,000. but let's jump forward to 2015. the di household incomes were all for the groups except for the whites have gone down. asian americans making a median household income of $21,000, a 47% drop and they went from making the highest income of any other racial group to the lowest income. the number for african-americans has gone down about 15% to about $29,000. latinos make about $34,000 and whites have seen a jump to about

$38,000. we also took a close look at the national incomes in both 1990 and 2015. and while the national incomes are much higher, the trend of median incomes is falling between the years was also apparent in the national numbers. richard, analysts say that's because of the recession adding that south l.a. never recovered from it. >> what a difference when you look at the economic numbers over the course of 15 years. i was on the ground, i got the sense of the transition. the difference from 25 years and the question is the next five or ten. what's needed for progress? >> you know, all the people that i have been talking to say what's needed the most is the economic progress. a report from ucla showed that that area never fully recovered from the recession and it's hit african-americans particularly hard. especially when you look at those unemployment numbers. it shows that african-americans in that area have an unemployment rate twice of that

of whites with the same level of education. for the hispanic population, the challenge remains working poverty. so the employment numbers there are a little bit higher. but those jobs are not high paying or high quality. i have talked to a lot of community groups including community coalition which has done a lot of work in the area and they're telling me the solution lies in economic investment in the area. they believe the city is not doing enough. >> great reporting. thank you, cnbc's aditi roy on the numbers behind it. thank you. tomorrow marks the start of may. and with that comes may day marches in cities across the country. this year even more people are expected here to participate. hundreds of thousands of immigrant workers will take to the streets in a national strike billed as a day without immigrants. organizers say this year they're highlighting the need for a raise in the minimum wage to $15 an hour. they want workers to receive immediate contracts with

retroactive pay. joining us now is the executive director for voices is christina newman ortiz and a professor at the university of texas, victoria defrancesca. you helped to put together day without immigrants. we have laid out the expectations of this. do you expect to get all of that accomplished, do you expect all that to happen within a reasonable amount of time? >> may 1st is a key moment in the struggle, but as in any social justice movement, it's a series of actions and events and may 1 does represent an important escalation. especially now under the trump administration. where we have seen very high level of solidarity, but with refugee organizations and black

lives matter, labor movements. environmental organizations. that solidarity to stand with one another against the politics of hate and division are being shown on may 1st. and it is an embrace as well of the economic sike and using our pow -- economicower as workers, as consumers, as small business owners that are shutting down their businesses to send a message that this country does not run without immigrants. and that we contribute and that we're going to stand together to push back against trump's efforts to implement policies of mass deportation and discrimination and it represents an escalation in the movement. >> you know, i was having a conversation here, victoria, with some marketers nationally and on background they were telling me, you do have to look at the latino american spend here in the united states because that's a number to be watched based on the confidence

that they have during the administration. some are saying look out because it's going down. that could be a good indication there is not only maybe a quiet protest, but also an indication that there may be being -- they're saving up to what may be difficult times ahead. what are you hearing, victoria? >> well, the thing about latinos is that there is the immigration story, but we need to dig down into the economic immigration story. it always puzzles me that donald trump a business man does not take that tack because we know as you pointed out, consumers -- latino consumers have traditionally have had strong spending. we know that whlatinos and immigrants in general are mo likely to start their own businesses that employ others and they have that muscle they can flex. we'll see latinos themselves holding back and at the same time we're going to be seeing other groups, other individuals who are supportive of latino

immigrant groups closing their businesses. not spending tomorrow. and what is very interesting, richard, about what's going to happen tomorrow is it's a lot like what we saw in january with the women's march. so there was a principal thrust of the women's march and it spread to the broader fight for rights. for those folks who feel threatened under the trump administration. so tomorrow we're going to see a muscle being flexed. those fighting for racial justice and it's an all encompassing political event. >> when you look at not only business but also consumer spend from latino community across the country, it's somewhere around $1.7 trillion. it's the greatest of the minority groups. another number friday, this coming from the president this time, he's touting illegal crossings across the southern border are down 73%. if that number is true,

christine, what would you say is attributable to that number? >> that the numbers are down at crossing at the boarder? >> that's right. >> that's been a trend -- a long standing trend for now. it has to do with economics and how dangerous the border has gotten. i think the reality is that we know that having a legalization process that truly integrates people into the society and provides a path to citizenship is really what has been held back in congress despite the fact that the majority of the american people across all political party lines support that. so that -- i think it's both the danger of that journey and also it does speak to the economic situation. but you have people here who have been living here 15, 20 years, they have grandchildren, they have built their lives here. and they deserve to come out of the shadows. that's why may 1st is so

important. because they're standing up for their rights because it's not just legalization. at this point, you have a -- an administration that has ties to hate groups and really does represent a brand of politics of the far right. we have to take that very seriously. we cannot afford to stay in our homes. we cannot afford not to stay involved. may 1st is one simple act of solidarity, but the kind of work that's done building sanctuary policy, standing up for the good po policies, organizing at the local and state level, showing up is all critical moving forward. >> victoria, 20 seconds to you. >> what is happening here tomorrow with the immigrants rights rally is a consistent pressure. so we know that there are not a lot of resources for latino immigrants. at least legally speaking but there are the courts and there's that ability to march in the streets. that's our democratic right here in the united states. i think we're going to see that continually throughout the trump

administration. >> all right. thank you both. great conversation. thank you so much. thank you both for your time. and the epa is looking at ways to cut regulations on drinking water quality. we'll speak with an activist and mother from flint, michigan, as we revisit with her about what deregulation could mean for health. stay with me, mr. parker. when a critical patient is far from the hospital, the hospital must come to the patient. stay with me, mr. parker. the at&t network is helping first responders connect with medical teams in near real time... stay with me, mr. parker. ...saving time when it matters most. stay with me, mrs. parker. that's the power of and. when a fire destroyed everything in our living room. we replaced it all without touching our savings. yeah, our insurance won't do that.

. it's estimated that up to 20,000 flint residents have lead and galvanized service lines that need to be replaced. thousands of people voiced concerns online about the administration rolling back regulation onz water. and next week, the epa will start holding conference calls to get some input. out of the 150 spots available, only half of them will get a chance to speak. for as little as two minutes. joining me now is flint resident

melissa may. she is a mom of three who is vocal about the flint water crisis, a topic she is watching and we stopped in with you, me list yashgs ov lista, over the course manufactumany months. let's look' epa and what they're calling an all call for feedback. there are 150 spots but you have to put this your name and get selected. what do you think of this? >> i think it's a terrible twi go about it. there is 100,000 people in flint. we all have opinions and we have personal stories that need to be shared to sashgs look, if you continue to roll back regulations, the rest of the country is going end up like flint. that's why a bad thing. talking about the 200 people that died from bacterial pneumonia and holding calls like this i mean, we've been through this with town halls where we get shut down. we're not allowed to echak.

how can you express pain and sufferg in two minutes? >> first of all, let me know whether you also put in your name. must be two, if you were to be selected, you were a part of this conversation, what's the one thing that you would ask for from the epa on this call? i know you've been very active on this topic. >> number one, no. i don't know anyone who has put in their name. you know what? we didn't know in flint. we didn't know this was a widespread thick. that makes me worried that they're not trying to hear from actual residents. that's a concern that i'll be blasting out to the actual residents this week. so thank you for letting me know. but also what i would tell them is the same thing i told congress in february. if you continue to roll this back and put profit over people, people are going to die. i mean the led and copper rule, the safe drinking water act are weak as it is now. going further backwards is going to guarantee rest of the country

will end up like flint. here we are 1,1001 da1 days sin when he safe water and neither will any other city whether they get this as well. >> a new poll shows 63% of americans worry a great deal about pollution of the -- in drinking water. 57% worry great deal about rivers, lakes, and reservoirs whether we look at flint specifically right now, has that interestthat concern wayned at all despite as you were counting the number of days or is it increased? >> in flint, of course, it's increased. but we feel that rest of the country forgotten us because there haven't been anything, you know, big or new happening. i mean we've had a couple victories but everything still gets put underneath the rr machine that everything zbegt better. for those that live here, we know it's not. so there is so much other like horrors and things going on that we feel we got forgotten.

we don't want to be forgotten. we need to get fixed. we want to get life back to whatever normal used to be. but also we don't want to see anybody else emd up like us. yes, that amount of people, it should be increased. 100% of americans should worry about contaminated water and lakes and streams. >> we've got 20 seconds left. you always let us know how your kids are doing. you told me two months ago not well. how are they doing now? >> no, their white blood cell counts are still low. there is something wrong my youngest has pank kree it is and high blood pressure. no one else wants this life. we wouldn't wish it upon everyone else. everybody needs to be vigilant with the safe of their water. >> my best to your familiarly. please let us fwhee is happening there flint. that does it for us this hour on msnbc. you can find me on at which time eastern instagram @richardloui
