is there is an interest in mike out of his white house, he's asking for vindman, a guy who is were asked what kind of policies the "new york said after the bloomberg, which is odd given bloomberg was a racist when he they wanted the next president the critique of kamala harris as the prosecutor, cop, and here to pursue, 52% said they either an american hero, literally an supported this policy and went magazine article came out, they you have this guy with stop and frisk. american hero, war hero, to be to chicago last year and said we wanted a return to barack under took an investigation >> you know why, people -- and about the alleged activities to robert knows this better than ought to have stop and frisk obama's policies or policies prosecuted for telling the truth anything else -- it ain't about about what donald trump did. nationally is laughable. even more conservative. have occurred on our campus in ideology. only 41% said they wanted more we republicans were running >> right. so the real down side for 2011. the investigation did not around in 2007 talking about how barack obama was the second most >> and what republicans senators bloomberg here politically is liberal policies than barack substantiate those claims. said donald trump did. this is racial language coming liberal senator in the united >> what are you thinking right obamas. claire, where do you begin with states senate. out of his mouth. it's very interesting. it ain't about ideology. now, susan collins and lamar the upside is that every >> let's bring into the this? >> yeah. candidate in this race has a conversation white house it's about who people think are alexander? correspondent for pbs news hour >> susan collins -- race problem. first of all, hat tip to those going to lead them into the >> i'm just curious. you have klobuchar who has been yamiche alcindor and political future the strongest. >> i'm curious if you really journalists. we forget sometimes that there take care of them, take care of accused of race case when she reporter for the "washington was a prosecutor in her home post" and msnbc political are journalists out there that their families, take care of the still think that donald trump uncover the ugliest side of state of minnesota, that she has analyst robert costa, he is the country. learned his lesson or if the you know, right now for a lot of lesson that donald trump learned got to explain now that she's in moderator of "washington week" humanity. these are -- democrats it doesn't make sense the top three, you have on pbs. >> something you've seen as a was with senators like you buttigieg with police problems. great to have you both on board former prosecutor. to a lot of people, just like giving him a blank check, he can so i think that if anything it's with us. >> something i've seen as a >> so, yamiche, let's start with do whatever the hell he wants. time for everybody to come to former prosecutor. trump didn't make sense to a lot you on what happened in new these are really serious of people for republicans, but vindman, that's on you. the alter and repent of their hampshire last night. right now it looks like mike there are a million story lines charges. and, you know, the feds we could get to, bernie sanders typically don't fool around. bloomberg. sondla racial sins and try to convince winning by a small margin, pete there is a guy that knows how to sondland, that's on you. people need to remember, the punch trump in the face and he the public and black voters in buttigieg extraordinary that we roger stone, susan collins, don't even stop to mention drives him crazy. federal government only takes >> yeah. that's you on, and lamar particularid anymore because we've become the cases they want to take. when you show up in the they don't have to take any fp president's twitter feed as a alexander, it's on you and it's accustomed to him and the history that he continues to that's up to the local democratic candidate that can be on every republican that taught make as a married openly gay man prosecutors. a good thing and he certainly is not do what they did and say you don't call the fbi when you what they said. taking advantage of it. donald trump his finishing first and second in call 911, you call local police i think what will be interesting the two primaries, amy klobuchar is there is no doubt the real >> so for mike bloomberg i feel with a monstrous surge from he's got to really talk about and local das, so the fact that

estate changes, right, we are friday after the debate forward into much, much different and the total collapse of actions. so this is your fault. this, he can't just profess i'm the federal government has taken terrain and if you look at that sorry. this case and it's this serious, this is your country. i think it's got to be a elizabeth warren and joe biden. q poll, willie, that you talked conversation outside of his elizabeth warren in a border hopefully this guy will go to do you know what, it's not like state as well. we just started saying this, comfort zone and because this is what was your big take away from prison for a long time. about, bernie sanders was >> moved into his daughter's getting about 19% of the a policy, rev, that he oversaw last night? >> my big take away from last african-american vote, klobuchar that donald trump has to be was getting 0 and pete was shown that there are boundaries. night is that pete buttigieg and dorm? >> most people can't get that for years. >> he was mayor 12 years. amy klobuchar are gaining from part of the story. getting 4%. we said this to paul ryan in the >> he could have learned that and i haven't heard a clear if we're moving into a place this was a problem during the that anti-hillary vote that we summer of 2016 when he endorsed time. what am i missing? where that african-american because not only was it saw in 2016. explanation from sarah lawrence i think the idea that bernie vote, that hispanic vote is race-based, but it impacted the college, why was a grown man really up for grabs and is sanders had such a big win last donald trump and got nothing in lives of thousands of allowed to move into his return for it. different terrain, we now know night but also that he was still african-americans. it's also really up for grabs republicans from that point >> millions. >> millions of minorities, threw very closely followed with which and it will be interesting to daughter's dorm room. see kind of where that settles forward have never held him them off course, they are in >> i remember that story, i was out over the course of that accountable and that's why we lines in courthouses because of amy klobuchar and pete buttigieg on set that day, and i was tells me that what we saw in next -- >> and that's why it's a big little, you know, tickets that they got right and left. 2016 was a lot of people didn't horrified, by and part not only i mean, this is -- a lot of question for pete buttigieg and amy klobuchar who both had great are -- our constitutional like hillary clinton and as a by his horrific actions but the result they voted for bernie nights last night, you can't republic literally and the sanders and now that you have a response of the institutions. institutions in it literally are take anything away from that, people in realtime saw a ticket that's -- that has more great nights. the request he is now what? being challenged every single people on it you see that there day by this would be dictator. problem. >> i think you need to now you're going to places where understand this at home. is a race that's going to be, i you have not shown any support. >> that sounds stuff, doesn't you are a mother. think, more competitive for >> yeah. >> can you imagine the anxiety bernie sanders. maybe that changes. it? you tell me. the other thing is that it's often times, they want to let's go to the big board where >> that's the word i was going families had every day that had still early. to use. >> you tell me. i think i still remind people protect the institution and the would donald trump not do kids 18 to 25 going outside whatever he could do if he could that new hampshire and iowa are brand. but in this case how could this we find steve kornacki. saying, i hope my child is not something like 90 plus percent guy be on campus, in a dorm room get away with it? thrown up against a wall. white and i think when we get to steve, how did it shake out for you last night? seriously. >> stop and frisk. nevada and south carolina which what were your surprises? if he could arrest every >> that's the language that is looks more like the democratic living there, makes no sense to >> yeah, a couple big surprises journalist he didn't like, if he correct they are not thrown up could arrest us tomorrow, let me against a wall at a time we have electorate, that we will then me. the fact they released the here, obviously you've been ask you a question, do you think have a very clear idea of what report and investigated it and talking about the biggest here, he would arrest us tomorrow? police killing and all. i mean, the whole community was the front runners are. it didn't substantiate, it makes

again, it's -- we certainly best we can. misconduct of what's going on economic growth in the we've heard him repeatedly within the department of aren't undercutting anything. almost side with bernie sanders, justice. so that's a distraction that african-american community they >> no. >> that bernie did. there's a sense in the white she's going to have to set can woo over not a lot but some i mean, a win is a win is a win. house and his political team aside. i agree with ken, if i were amy that that's who he wants to face voters or at the very least this fall, i think that there's berman jackson i would call in suggest that there isn't much of >> right. a difference between republican >> that said you have to say the justice department and say policies and democratic policies right now the two people that some push back in some corners what is going on here? of trump world suggesting that which is your actual and maybe that -- are overperforming right now are bernie sanders changes -- would change the map, a general recommendation? >> -- they think while most why did this happen? mayor pete and amy. election map in a different way, and so it wouldn't surprise me republicans are stuck at 8 or 9% >> and i would say that pete that perhaps he could be to see her call in timothy shay people very high up there poses a problem to his opponents competitive in those trio of who is the u.s. attorney, maybe telling me they think they can get 15, 16, 18, 20 percent of very similar to what barack rust belt states that we know even these four lawyers who have obama did, which we can talk could decide the election this withdrawn from the case to ask the black vote. about a little bit later. fall. he certainly played well there >> yeah, there's sort of a split >> i just have to say one thing, in 2016. what happened here? we know that the president has why is this -- why did your thinking in the trump campaign about that, jared kushner who if mayor pete is not progressive repeated by going after mike recommendation change and what bloomberg who people around him is the actual position of the was behind some of the criminal the goal posts for progressivism justice reform really does feel like is growing as a believe that the trump campaign threat, you know, we saw him department of justice? so i think that -- can make real inroads with the >> i'm sorry, go ahead, barbara. have shifted so far south. seize upon the audiotape about black vote and he is playing a if you would have talked about >> i think she will do that mayor bloomberg defending the before the sentencing hearing so large vote in the campaign him in 2008 barack obama would use of stop and frisk, the strategy there, others think as not to make it about roger it's perhaps not as realistic have been seen as a right wing president himself and his stone and to make it about what happened here at the justice but feel like if they can woo radical. campaign are trying to make department to find out what is if the frame is bernie sanders, over more voters or depress if the frame is elizabeth warren inroads with african-american the true recommendation and w t i guess mayor pete is not as voters, trying to win a little turnout among black voters who progressive, but the idea that more support than last time minds. >> and of course you don't want might go for democrats in 2020, he's not progressive is around or at the very least it to be taken out on any sort of, again, suggesting, you preposterous. >> i think what he said, were he depress turnout by suggesting defendant, the actions of know, we saw the turnout dipped there is not much of a could be president he would be difference between where the in 2016 as well for hillary the most progressive president republicans and democrats are. somebody else. and had the most progressive at the same time, you know, if clinton, then in some of these we can fact check that, but the recommendation was seven to states where the margins will be agenda in 50 years. so slim that might be enough to i mean, theres no arguing with that's the strategy there. in terms of take a ways from nine, those are the guidelines. capture places like that.

this weekend, from new the idea that somehow pete or hampshire, it's remarkable. it's not like there are any pennsylvania, michigan and it wasn't that long ago that joe biden was the clear front runner mitigating factors going in wisconsin again. >> jonathan lemire, nbc's josh some of these other guys are frash nael to be the no, ma'nat roger stone's way. letterman, thank you both. moderate, they may be moderate he he back now to the new inside of the spectrum of what hampshire primary where senator bernie sanders eeked out a win we're talking about with left over former mayor pete buttigieg and center left politics, but nominee. elizabeth warren was the trendy pick, they were surging early we're not -- we're not looking of south bend, indiana, who fall where it seemed like she at somebody -- i mean, who knows had a lot of momentum and would joins us now from manchester, be a force tok reckoned with now. you go on twitter and barack obama is a liberal republican. new hampshire. good morning. congratulations on a pretty big >> all right. apart like win, second place last night in this, in such dramatic fashion new hampshire. jumping ahead to south carolina, going forward. though. >> it's going to be interesting. joe biden isemt. >> thank you. >> how do you develop momentum >> areas that are far more there? >> well, the key is to take the moderate, i hope everybody momentum that we have been able to demonstrate in iowa and new enjoyed playing hackie sack hampshire, settling the question while talking to you candidates of whether we could build a campaign with appeal across age in iowa and new hampshire groups and different kinds of because they're going down to community and now take it to south carolina. >> we'll see. nevada, to south carolina, >> no, they don't do that in engaging voters in very racially inside the rib joints where i go. diverse states, sharing this >> all right. >> they don't do that. message that we have got to come i don't know. together and be ready to confront donald trump with a have you ever seen jim play unified democratic party around hackie sack. >> clyburn? >> clyburn doesn't play hackie values that we share.

you know, there is going to be a sack. >> no. still ahead on "morning joe" very clear choice here. in many ways it's not just the senator sanders who i respect democratic candidates being and he had a great night as well judged by voters, it's the party last night, but he's got an itself. tom perez chairs the dnc and he approach that says you're either for a revolution or you have to joins us ahead on "morning joe." be for the status quo. most people don't see where they (sensei) a live bookkeeper is helping customize fit in that message. our message is one of delivering real meaningful bold progressive reform in a way that can actually bring americans together not further poll rise us at a time like this. >> mayor buttigieg, it's willie geist. good to see you again this morning. let me ask you about sanders and we can put warren voters this there as well, an awful lot in new hampshire and iowa and also nationally. what do you say to them to try to move some of them to your side? they're pretty dyed in the wool at this point, this he have a vision for the country, a vision for how government would function and you're offering an alternative vision, medicare for all who need it or all who want quickbooks for me. it, in other words, it wouldn't (live bookkeeper) okay, you're all set up. be mandated, we wouldn't take (sensei) thanks! aw y most that was my business gi, this one's casual.

♪ welcome back to "morning joe." i just want to follow up on this gayle king story. you've been talking about it for the past several days, we brought it up a couple days ago. >> what's going on? >> to put it in the starkest terms, a black woman who is a journalist has her life threatened from a guy who has 39 million people. >> the post is still up. >> the post is still up. she faces threats and abuse.

her children are threats. >> 24-hour security. >> gayle king now has to have 24-hour security and i will be damned, have i read "the new york times" editorialize about it? no. what's all your bull -- about protecting journalists when you have a black woman whose life was threatened, nothing there. "wall street journal," nothing. >> wait. what about. >> what are you doing. >> what about viacom cbs. >> where is viacom cbs? has the "usa today" done it? where are you? a black female journalist's life has been threatened. she and her children fear for their lives and you aren't writing about this? so is everything that you've said about donald trump, threatening members of the press nonsense? did you really not mean it? did you really not mean it?

you meant none of that about donald trump? is that all politics? >> where, where is corporate america. >> where a corporate america? where isain. a black female journalist fears for her life this morning. her children are facing abuse and threats. "the new york times," the "washington post," the "wall street journal," viacom, nobody is talking about this. after preaching on a mountain for years about how dangerous it is when donald trump threatens members of the press. well, guess what, i think it's dangerous when donald trump threatens members of the press and i think it's dangerous when pop culture figures threaten members of the press, especially

a black woman. >> doing her job. >> who is only doing her job. do you know what, we can have a debate whether the question should have been asked or not. we are so beyond that right now. we are so beyond that right now. what's the conspiracy of silence about, "new york times"? why aren't you writing about this? what about you, "washington post"? "wall street journal," where are you? viacom, where are you? a black woman has gone to bed, a journalist, in fear of her life for like five, six days. and there is a conspiracy of silence. reverend, you've -- you're one of the few people that's been talking about this. what in the hell is going on? >> the fact is what you just expressed in very passionate

terms is my concern. this is not about snoop dogg. i like snoop dogg. i defended him during the gospel reckon. this is about a precedent of letting people infer threats and directly call women out -- >> it wasn't inferred. >> it wasn't inferred. and the profanity that was used. >> to call her -- i've been saying for years we cannot use the n word, b word, or h word. for me to have not said something because of somebody that i know i think is at the height of hypocrisy. i get all kind of push back, i get clap back, but i must stand by the fact that women should not be called out of their name no matter what the circumstance. >> did i hear you correctly lebron liked the post? >> yes, and name one person on this set, name one person in entertainment doing talk shows who would post something like this that wouldn't be fired in three seconds. less than.

>> they were filming yesterday with martha stewart, they were filming yesterday for vh 1, the martha and snoop series potluck party challenge, it's supposed to be on the air tomorrow night. >> viacom. that's viacom who, by the way -- >> yesterday they were filming, martha stewart was there, william shatner was there, trey songs was there, they were all there working with snoop on set to film an addition of the show -- >> and they say he speaks for himself. they say he walked it back. did he an additional post still leaving the threatening profani profanity-laced post up that millions of people can watch right now. he did an additional post sort of trying to make gayle look older, trying to do dog whistles while sort of saying maybe we're not violent. it was not an apology. he did not pull it back. he actually made it worse. and he kept his post up. >> yamiche, what do you think? >> i've been watching this as

someone who really admires gayle and have been quite frankly horrified for her and quite frankly horrified as an african-american woman. it was written best yesterday over this weekend which was really that we should be better than this. we should be better than being able to not be able to calmly express our dislike. if there's something that you dislike about the question then you can do that, but i think to watch her be attacked in the way that she was attacked and to watch the silence that has happened has been heart breaking. she is a journalist who prepares, who obviously worked hard to get that job and if you don't like the question or you don't like the way that you think that she connected her interview, you can easily express that, but what this was with threatening someone's life for doing journalism and that to me is not -- should not at all be something that anybody should engage in and i think it's really, really sad and i think that there is a whole generation of women including myself who look at gayle and say this is who we want to be like. >> yes. >> and the fact that like people

aren't coming to her aid i think is very, very disheartening. >> willie. >> and i don't know why. i don't know why there's silence. >> are you afraid? >> we talked about yesterday. when it happened i posted something on twitter, gayle is a friend of ours, also she is in our journalist community. i posted something and i was surprised the next day when the write-ups came up that they cited you and me as the people who defended her. i said, wait a minute, didn't everybody come out and defend her? i hadn't paid that close attention to. i don't know, is it because snoop is a popular figure, because you fear retribution from snoop. >> that's exactly why there should be consequences. >> i genuinely don't know why people aren't saying more. >> you know, all these people that worked with him yesterday before he has apologized for threatening the life of a black journalist -- >> you know, at the edge of this story is the culture surrounding this story. we are talking about gayle king today. she needs no defense, but she

deserves a solid defense and she deserves much more than she's received from, as joe pointed out, other publications like the "times," "washington post," you know, what about this story, it's not yet finished. but at the edge of this story is the way we live today. so can you imagine -- have you ever looked at what your children look at on twitter, on facebook, the things that they see every day, the things that they participate in every day. perhaps we don't know. i mean, we are in a culture of verbal violence. >> yes. >> and assault on social media. i mean, that's the culture around us. >> that's why we have to confront it. you know, dr. king said you measure the character of a person by where they stand in the times of controversy, not where it's easy. that's why you had to stand up. this is about gayle king, but it's also bigger than gayle king. it's about women. it's about people standing up saying, you can't use that language and not offend my

daughters and everyone else. you can't threaten without offending all of us and you don't -- and i say to my fellow civil rights leaders, you can't challenge trump and not challenge those in our community that go over the line. i understand snoop dogg's pain if he's grieving about kobe, i had that pain when james brown died who was like a father to me, but i did not have the right to call people names that were misogynous or threatening. >> do you remember roseanne barr? >> i did not have the right to go after people. so where do we have the standards? if you're going to have clap back and you're trade of the clap back then you ought not be a leader, you ought not be in journalism. at times you have to stand up. and when this woman's was called a "b" we can debate whether she should have did the interview the way she did or not, but when you call her a "b" that's an insult to all women and men and when you have a threat that is something to all of us and that's where you see we divide

people that are serious about what they say or those that are just doing sound bites when it's convenient for their career. >> roseanne barr was fired for racist tweets and it was the right thing to do, but i don't know why this is so hard because this is unbelievably dangerous what is still up. >> roseanne barr didn't threaten anybody's life. she didn't say -- >> and she apologized. >> she didn't say, we're coming to get you. we're coming to get you. it didn't denigrate an african-american journalist, a woman. but, you know -- >> well, by the way, in the company that gayle king works for is the same company that was paying snoop dogg yesterday to do an episode of a cooking show with martha stewart. it's the same company. >> yeah. >> now, i don't get that. i don't get how they don't take some -- and, you know, martha stewart when she greeted snoop yesterday what did she say, how

is it going, snoop? anything up? was there not a conversation about the seriousness of this? it's interesting to me that he seems to be carrying on with his commercial enterprises and there have been no consequences to him around his commercial enterprises. >> zero. >> we have normalized verbal assault. >> we can thank the president for part of that. >> yeah. >> certainly. >> so what does he need to do? take down the post first of all. >> take it down. >> threatening her life. >> take down the post. i think he has had some conversations as i said earlier, but those conversations that he deleted haven't really taken a concrete position against misogyny and threats. he can continue to say i think it's wrong how she did the interview. nobody is arguing that. but he needs to make an affirmative move himself around the threats and around the misogyny. that is something that he should not in any way duck. >> okay. well, we're going to continue this conversation.

we stand with gayle. there is a hashtag i stand with gayle, i suggest you join us with that. we will be right back with much more "morning joe." be right bac more "morning joe. when did you see the sign? when i needed to jumpstart sales. build attendance for an event. help people find their way. fastsigns designed new directional signage, and got them back on track. get started at fastsigns.com and ghi with the world'se . first invisible trailer. invisible trailer? and it's not the trailer right next to us? this guy? you don't believe me? hop in. good lookin' pickup, i will say that. oh wow. silverado offers an optional technology package with up to 15 different views - including one enhanced view that makes your trailer appear invisible. wow. - that's pretty sweet. - that's cool. oooohh! that's awesome.

♪ joining us now chairman of the democratic national committee, tom perez. great to have you back on the show. >> always a pleasure. >> we will get back on track here, joe he. >> we are on track. we have been on track all morning. so, tom, thanks so much for being with us. >> always a pleasure. >> curious the two marquis races out of the way, what's your take on the state of the democratic party after new hampshire? >> well, i'm very excited about the turnout. you look at what happened last night and turnout is going to meet or exceed promising. you look at the number of women who turned out and i think it was something like 55% of the democratic turnout was women and something like 41% of the

republican turnout was women. that shows once again that women who helped us win the u.s. house in 2016 are out there and they are out there in force. you look at some of the exit polling i found really interesting, 81% of the voters this year were angry at trump. you look back at 2008 it was 62% were angry at george w. bush. so there is a lot of energy out there. again, this is a marathon, it's not a sprint. we've allocated 65 delegates, we have to get to 1,991 to move to the promised land. what this illustrates to me is that the work we're doing to build the key infrastructure in battle ground states is critical. and that's why our battle ground buildup is so, so important. now, we head out to obviously nevada, south carolina and after those first four we will have allocated roughly 5% of the delegates, super tuesday takes us to about 40%.

and we are working tirelessly to make sure nevada goes down well and working tirelessly to build that infrastructure for whomever the nominee is in a few months. this is a 90-day sprint right now that we are in, but it's really more of a but it's really more of a marathon. >> new hampshire worked largely for one reason and one reason only. people actually went to vote. it wasn't a caucus. it wasn't a caucus state. four years from now, are you going to try to take this party back to iowa given what happened in iowa? >> i think it's really important to have that conversation. you know, i think the state parties -- what we have done well as a party with our partners in state parties is helping democrats win up and down the ballot. we've had a great set of runs, 2017, 2018, 2019, and i think we're going to win this presidential election in 2020. that's our sweet spot, building that organizational structure. and i think we have to have a conversation and i've said this more than once, about the issue

of primaries versus caucuses. we put in place rules in 2018 to incentivize states to go to primaries over ka kcaucus and s states that were caucus states in 2016, were primary states in 2020. we need to continue that conversation. i think that parties as well meaning as they may be, i think it's better to have states run those primaries. now, you got to pass a state law to do it, and there are some states that have indicated that with their republican leadership, they might not want to fund a state run primary. it's a little bit easier said than done. make no mistake about it. that conversation will ensue because we have to learn the lessons from every cycle. >> tom, it's clear, maybe more important even than getting rid of the caucuses, which i think are really kind of in the republican lane of less participation, making it harder

to participate for all kinds of voters, especially those that are marginalized in terms of work and children and the limited time that you can participate. is the order of these primaries, there is something wrong that our first two primaries are essentially all white. our first two contests, i should say. are you going to propose that we at least rotate so that we get a more diverse state? ru right now we had a tie in iowa and almost a tie in new hampshire, but we have yet to hear from some of the most important parts of the democratic party. how are you going to make this more fair and more reflective of what our party is? >> i think it's absolutely time, senator, and it's good to see you by the way. it's absolutely time to have that conversation as well. and at the end of every cycle, we begin the process of studying what went right, and what we need to do better. post 2016, we engaged in a

conversation about super delegate reform. we engage in a conversation about primary and caucus reform, and we did those reforms to super delegates. we made tremendous progress in the primary caucus reforms. i think the conversations that will need to take place after this primary cycle is over, after we defeat donald trump, the the two questions that have been just asked which is how do we continue that progress in moving toward more primaries, less caucuses and how do we address the issue of order so that we have more demographic representation from the get-go. and that's a conversation i think that the party needs to have, and i will certainly be recommending that. >> hey, tom, yamiche is with us and has a question for you. >> i have a compound question. talk about the rules and whether the dnc is all about questioning them. and what do you make of amy klobuchar to come in third.

what does that say about the importance of debates given that you have a democratic candidate in michael bloomberg who has said he might not make the debate stage at all? >> right. as to your first question, to the extent, yamiche that your question is about are we going to revisit the super delegate reforms that we put in place in 2018, my answer is a resounding no. we went through those, we had a deliberate process. i think we did the right thing. if somebody wants to revisit those, i will work like heck to ensure that doesn't happen. your second question relating to senator klobuchar, it really illustrates the fact that we have a deep bench. i know senator klobuchar. i know all of candidates and have worked with all of the candidates. this is a marathon. this is not a sprint. i think the importance of debates have been highlighted. the exit polling shows a lot of people who voted yesterday in new hampshire were, in fact,

influenced by the debates. that's why our goal is to make sure all viable candidates can have the opportunity. that's what our job is to ensure a fair process to give everybody the opportunity to show what they're fighting for and who they're fighting for. that's why i'm proud of the debate process. we have one coming up with nbc in nevada and i look forward to it. >> chairman tom perez. feeling much better after the primary than he did after the caucus. tom, thank you so much. before we go, rev, we haven't talked about the most important news of the day. >> what's that? >> marcus. my grandson marcus al sharpton started walking today. he took some of his first steps at the house. tell us about marcus. >> my grandson just turned over a year old and last night i went

to the house of justice and he started walking during a nursery in the afternoon, and i had not seen him walk so that's a video of me walking with him. he took some of his first steps last night. his mother, dominique, and aunt ashley, and i'm very proud to see my grandson walking, and he will walk with me to the polls when i make my astounding vote in november. >> oh, my gosh. that's wonderful. >> how exciting. >> congratulations. still ahead, amid an escalating fight with the justice department, four prosecutors handling the roger stone case have all withdrawn from the legal proceedings. we will talk about what that means for the rule of law, plus andrew yang will join us on his decision to suspend his presidential campaign. "morning joe" is back in a moment. ng joe" is back in a moment with hepatitis c... ...i felt i couldn't be at my...

i want to take the opportunity to express my appreciation and respect for all of the democratic candidates we ran against. pete buttigieg, amy klobuchar, elizabeth warren, joe biden, and what i can tell you with absolute certainty and i know i speak for every one of the democratic candidates is that no matter who wins and we certainly hope it's going to be us, we are going to unite together -- we are going to unite together and defeat the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country. >> that is bernie sanders claiming victory in new hampshire with 97% of the

precincts reporting. the have the senator narrowly edged out pete buttigieg by about 4,000 votes, 25.9% to 24.4%. a margin of 1 1/2%. amy klobuchar finished third with 20% followed by elizabeth warren at 9 and joe biden at 8. sanders and buttigieg both won 9 delegates. klobuchar took home 6. good morning, and welcome to "morning joe," it is wednesday, february 12th, along with joe, willie and me. we have a professor at princeton university, eddie glaude jr., former white house secretary for president obama robert gibbs and white house reporter for the associated press jonathan lemire, and the big question is what kind of government will be left for the next president to inherit in another big story, a brazen and damaging move, donald trump and his wingman in the

justice department just dramatically altered our democratic system yet again. attorney general william barr is taking control of legal matters of personal interest to the president who is laying it all out in plain sight on twitter. we will get to that in a minute. another big story that is brewing this morning. >> it's a big story that will have far more lasting impact than what we're talking about and what most everybody is going to be talking about this morning because it does fundamentally alter the rule of law in it country when you have a president with a close associate who's been a close associate his entire political life, adult political life, you have the president of the united states weighing in, pressuring the justice department to alter recommendations made by justice department professionals who then resigned. we were all talking about our concerns about a saturday night massacre during the mueller investigation. this is, i think, the closest thing we have had to a saturday

night massacre since nixon in '73. let's talk about last night first and then we'll get to all of that. i'll start,you. i have always been surprised that candidates who won, especially new hampshire, didn't understand that that really was, for all the talk that's gone on for two years, that's really the first time america focuses in on politics. okay. wait, oh, we got a race going on. okay. who's this guy that's -- and i've always been surprised that they don't seize that moment. they're either thinking, you know, their district 3 coordinator or they're acting un-presidential. bernie sanders captured the moment perfectly with that clip, and undercut all of the criticism of the bernie pros of

the lampooning on saturday night live, that larry david said could i stop it, yeah, am i going to. and gave the most gracious introduction to his presidential run that i think we have seen in a while. that was a unifying speech, and a lot of>> it is remarkable to those moments who speaks to the room they're speaking to, right, as you said, i want to thank my neighbor's daughter who knocked on 12 daughters or do you project beyond it. i think bernie sanders certainly sees that moment. i thought amy klobuchar did that as well in introducing herself. as you said, this is the first time people are tuning in, they're learning more about these people. where do they come from, what are they going to do. bernie sees that moment in a big way, came out also while mayor pete was still speaking, probably smart to step a little bit on that, get his moment, and capture that, because there's a lot that goes forward. this goes from being a marathon

as everyone tells you, hey, relax, the pace is kind of the same. it's a sprint now. >> it is. and willie, you look at the board, and i don't know if everybody topped expectations or everybody went beneath. it's hard to figure out when you look at the expectations, which at this point, that's all this is because you got to get on the phone and start calling, dialing for dollars because as robert said, the marathon now becomes a quick sprint. you look at bernie. he won the state by, what, 60% last time, over 60%. i was shocked he only carried it by 1 1/2, 2 points. you can say he won, he's in the poll position but you can say he under performed. everybody was talking about mayor pete and amy took votes away from him. he had a really big night, but did amy slow his momentum down

and stop a victory he needed to propel him to north carolina and nevada. amy did really well. and elizabeth and joe, just nothing good for them to see out of their performance. it just was really disappointing and still, i'm actually more shocked by elizabeth warren's single digit performance in a neighboring state than even joe biden's. i think we were warning of that two, three months ago that it could happen. >> yeah, i mean, she needed a good night last night, and she got an even worse night than people expected, coming in fourth place right there. and the thing to remember for biden and warren is that this festers now for a week and a half, because they're talking about nevada and south carolina. nevada is a week from saturday. saturday is two weeks from saturday. so this story about them not run ing well will fester for a while. >> how does biden survive for two weeks. >> he's going to have to make the case, we'll see new polling,

the race begins with these states that are more reflective of the country. south carolina, the alleged fire wall. there was the q poll that came out that all of a sudden looked like the fire wall was going away. the idea that african-american voters will hang in come what may with joe biden. >> i have been saying african-american voters, it's a complex constituency or pragmatic. >> they like to win. >> we like to win. >> that's not really complicated. >> no, it's not really complicated. we know if there's an increasing turnout, we have been saying it, if there's increase in turnout, it's going to be younger voters showing up. that's going to help bernie sanders. we also see that among the supporters for joe biden there's some questions about whether or not he can take it to the tape, and we see some people are interested in michael bloomberg. i have been traveling around the country for martin luther king day, and what i have been hearing among particularly upper

middle class black voters is there's an interest in michael bloomberg, which is kind of odd given the critique as kamala harris, the prosecutor and cop, and you have this guy. >> you know why, people, and robert knows this better than everybody else, it ain't about ideology. we republicans were running around in 2007 talking about how barack obama was the second most liberal senator in the united states senate. it ain't about ideology, it's about who people think are going to lead them into the future the strongest, take care of them. take care of their families. take care of the country. and, you know, right now, for a lot of democrats, it doesn't make sense to a lot of people. just like trump didn't make sense to a lot of people for republicans. but right now it looks like michael bloomberg, oh, look, there's a guy that knows how to punch trump in the face and he drives him crazy. >> yeah. when you show up in the president's twitter feed as a democratic candidate that can be a good thing, and he certainly is taking advantage of it.

i think what will be interesting is there's no doubt the real estate changes. right, we're into much much different terrain and if you look at the q poll, willie that you talked about. bernie sanders was getting about 19% of the african-american vote. klobuchar was getting 0, and pete was getting 4%. so if we're moving into a place where that african-american vote, that hispanic vote is really up for grabs and is different terrain, we now know it's also really up for grabs and it will be interesting to see kind of where that settles out over the course of the next. >> and that's why it's a big question for pete buttigieg and amy klobuchar, that had great nights, and you can't take anything away from that. great nights, the question is now what. now you're going to places that are not showing support. we find national political correspondent, for nbc news, and msnbc still awake from last night. steve kornacki, how did it shake out for you, what were your

surprises. >> a couple of big surprises, amy klobuchar moving up, getting 20%, coming within a few points of buttigieg, within 6 points of the lead for bernie sanders, we saw polling right after the iowa caucuses a weeking ago where klobuchar was in mid single digits. she ends up here, there was a moment, who should she win it, you're talking about this as well, elizabeth warren and joe biden, their support in new hampshire over the closing few days in this campaign, it just collapsed and klobuchar in the closing few days was the biggest single beneficiary. buttigieg benefitted earlier in the week. we were showing exit polls last night. half, one-half of the democratic electorate in new hampshire said that final debate on the democratic side friday night, that that final debate was either a very important factor in their decision or the single most important factor. half of the democratic electorate. we have been talking all year

about it seems they have these debates they go on and on and, never changes in the poll. they were watching that debate on friday night. those late deciders we saw, they broke decisively toward klobuchar, buttigieg and both moved up late. again, i think you're talking about it thi, places where sand didn't do that well, they tended to be a little bit more up scale, suburban, higher income, that sort of thing, white collar, bedroom community, things of that nature. the issue for buttigieg and klobuchar in a lot of those places, they were splitting the vote. buttigieg would win by 2 points. klobuchar would win by 2 points and i think what one of them needed was to get separation from the other to bank some vote in places like that. that's what might have given them the chance to topple sanders. sanders is able to win overall, what saved in new hampshire wasn't the suburbs i was talking about, it was the cities in new hampshire, the seven biggest

cities in new hampshire, man chest, dover, rochester, ports and keen, they broke to bernie sanders here. we saw that shanashua come in pe navy blue, that was buttigieg he was doing very well there, but sanders was able to hold him off in nashua. i think that was key. as you say, the race goes to nevada now, and we didn't have a large hispanic or black population in new hampshire. biden was doing well in polling. this sets up an interesting test out there. >> steve kornacki, thank you so much. and up next, prosecutors think roger stone should face at least seven years behind bars. the president feels otherwise and you can take a wild guess on which side of that debate william barr has landed. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. ching "morn" we'll be right back.

all four lawyers prosecuting long time trump associate roger stone abruptly quit the case yesterday. after the justice department announced his plans to reduce the recommended sentence for roger stone. the revised proposal does not ask for a specific sentence, but it suggests it should be far less than the original time. it also urges the judge to take into account stone's advanced age, health, personal circumstances and lack of criminal history in fashioning an appropriate sentence. >> and his grooming. i mean, give me a break. >> we learned of the decision to pull back on the request to sentence stone to seven to nine years in prison shortly after president trump blasted the proposal on twitter calling it a quote miscarriage of justice.

however, the doj says the decision to override the sentencing recommendation was made before the president's tweet. >> show us the receipts, roy kon. >> president trump spoke to reporters in the oval office and said he was not involved in the doj's decision about stone's sentencing. >> wait, i don't want to play this. >> i don't either. >> it's a lie. i don't want to play it. why would we play it? here's the deal, the president lied yesterday and said he had nothing to do with the sentence. it's a lie. he and roy cohn worked together to do this, and by the way, if the president is tweeting it's a miscarriage of justice and your attorney general is roy cohn, what else are you going to say. >> ask michael cohen how the president telegraphs what he wants to do. roy cohn or attorney general william barr knew exactly what he was supposed to do, and this is as staggering as it gets on a

legal level. >> and so the president of course getting what he wanted from roy cohn went on twitter and is lashing out at the four prosecutors and just take that down because really that's a lie too. just know that he lied in his tweet last night. he's going crazy. he's firing american heroes, kicking them out of his white house. he's asking for vindman, a guy who's an american hero, literally an american hero, war hero, to be prosecuted for telling the truth about what donald trump did and what republican senators said donald trump did. >> what are you thinking right now, susan collins and lamar alexander? i'm just curious. >> i'm curious if you really still think donald trump learned his lesson, or if the lesson that donald trump learned was with senators like you giving him a blank check, he can do whatever the hell he wants.

vindman, that's on you. sondman, that's on you. roger stone, susan collins, that's on you, and lamar alexander, it's on you, and it's on every republican that taught donald trump once again there are no consequences to his actions. so this is your fault. this is your country. you know what, it's not like we just started saying this, that donald trump has to be shown that there are boundaries. we said this to paul ryan in the summer of 2016 when he endorsed donald trump and got nothing in return for it. republicans from that point forward have never held him accountable and that's why our constitutional republic, literally, the institutions in it, literally are being

challenged every single day by this would be dictator. that sounds tough, doesn't it. >> that's the word i was going to use. >> would donald trump not do whatever he could do if he could get away with it? seriously. if he could arrest every journalist he didn't like, if he could arrest us tomorrow, let me ask you a question, do you think he would arrest us tomorrow. do you think he would arrest te editor of the "new york times," the editor of the "washington post," jeff bezos, do you think he would arrest him tomorrow. >> if he felt like. >> if you said he wouldn't, you're lying to yourself. he'll get away with whatever he can get away with and he did this yesterday, something extraordinary that hasn't been done in our lifetime. he did it because you republican senators gave him a blank check. congratulations, susan collins, congratulations, cory gardner,

congratulations, lindsey, congratulations martha mcsally. who's the guy in north carolina with a 31% approval rating, congratulations tommy boy. good job tommy boy. this is on your shoulders. let's bring in right now, former u.s. attorney and msnbc contributor, barbara mcquaid. barbara am i being mellow dramatic, but has this happened in my lifetime, even back when i was playing tee ball during the watergate, has this ever happened before? >> no, not that i'm aware of. two things people should be aware of, number one, the original sentence that the prosecutors asked for of seven to nine dwreeyears is the sente guideline, that is not a high number. >> those are guidelines, so the prosecutors weren't going out of their way to get roger stone. those were the doj's own guidelines. >> not even doj, joe, the u.s.

sentencing commission good lines. they gather data from all over the country about cases, they put aggravating factors which are not mentioned in the second mile filed by timothy shay and john crab. aggravating factors that occurred in this case, like roger stone's behavior during trial, like his actual obstruction that prevented congress from getting information, like his threat to kill one of the witnesses. those are the kinds of things that contribute to that calculation, and that calculation was seven to nine years. they were not asking for anything higher than what those u.s. sentencing guidelines prvlprvl provided. the other thing, joe in a case of this magnitude, no way did timothy shay, the u.s. attorney and william barr not know what the number would be on monday when the sentencing memo was filed. the only thing that changed between monday and tuesday when the supplemental filing was made was president trump's tweet, and that's why so many of my

colleagues and i are outraged that the justice department did this about face, changed its position after seeking a guideline sentence and the only thing that appears to have changed between those two events is president trump's tirade on twitter. by politics. >> the four prosecutors resigned immediately. one of them left the justice department all together. you're a former u.s. attorney. how extraordinary is that step. have you seen that before, and what would it take for you to resign from your career, what would be the circumstances around a decision like that? >> it is an extremely drastic measure. i think those of us who worked in the justice department today are seeing them as heroes for doing that, not only withdrawing from the case, but in one instance, as you mentioned, leaving your job. a particularly good ausa, he was well known. he had been a supreme court clerk. he done rework at the justice department. these are great jobs.

people work very hard to get them. they're highly competitive. they're considered plum jobs in the legal community. to leave that job is a very significant sacrifice. even to quit the case is a very significant step. >> coming up on "morning joe," how policies are shaping the presidential race for bernie sanders, it's medicare for all, and michael bloomberg, it's stop and frisk. the former new york city mayor has since denounced that policing tactic, but the topic is coming up on the campaign trail in a big way. we'll be right back. a big way we'll be right back. alexa, tell me about neptune's sorrow. it's a masterstroke of heartache and redemption.

a scratchy recording of former new york city mayor michael bloomberg has been circulating on social media since tuesday, appearing to show the billionaire presidential candidate defending the city's stop and frisk policy in starkly racial terms. here's an excerpt from that

recording. >> 95% of your murders, and murderers and murder victims fit one m.o. you can just take the description, xerox it and pass it on to all of the cops. they are male, minority. >> the audio clip was posted by podcaster and sanders supporter benjamin dixon on twitter and was taken from bloomberg's comments at the aspen institute in 2015. bloomberg went on to say, quote, we put all the cops in minority neighborhoods, yes, that's true. why do we do it, because that's where all the crime is. bloomberg issued a statement apologizing saying in part i inherited the police practice of stop and frisk, as part of our effort to stop gun violence, it was overused. i regret that and i have apologized and i have taken responsibility for taking too long to understand the impact it had on black and latino communities. nbc news has learned that the

bloomberg campaign was aware of the 2015 recording and had prepared a plan for responding when it came out. joining us now, the host of msnbc's "politics nation" and president of the national action network, reverend al sharpton, and in chattanooga, tennessee, where bloomberg is campaigning today, national political reporter for nbc news, josh letterman. >> rev, this is very surprising for a lot of people -- and i think we have talked about this before, you and i -- for those who have followed bloomberg's career, he actually gave an interview in new york magazine where he said the same exact thing. it all comes down today that. there are -- tod data. brooklyn and the bronx, this is where the murders occur, you can put circles around it, the demographics and data, and he said in the new york magazine interview exactly what he said there defending stop and frisk,

we're putting police where the crime is. >> the difference about this tape is where he says minority communities. it's directly racial and those of us that have protested stop and frisk had said all along it was race-based. we will call all kinds of names saying we were trying to make something racial that was in fact a crime fighting thing. he says you can do a xerox copy, these are the ones doing the crime, which is racial profiling. now, he has since apologized, since walked it back, but the policy was race based and for the president of the united states to put out that michael bloomberg was a racist, when he supported this policy and went to chicago last year and said we ought to have stop and frisk nationally is laughable. the real downside for bloomberg here politically is this is racial language coming out of

his mouth. thesi the up upside is every candidate has a race problem. klobuchar is accused of race when she was a prosecutor in her home state of minnesota that she has to explain when she's in the top three. you have buttigieg with police problems. i think, if anything, it's time for everybody to come to the alter and repent of their racial sins and try and convince the public and black voters in particular, that they are really seeing the error of their ways, but they can't act like they did not do what they did, and say what they said. >> so for michael bloomberg i feel he's got to really talk about this. he can't just profess i'm sorry. i think it's got to be a conversation outside of his comfort zone. this is a policy, rev, that he oversaw for years. >> he was mayor 12 years. >> he could have learned that this was a problem during the time. what am i missing because not only was it race-based but it impacted the lives of thousands

of african-americans. >> millions. >> millions of minorities threw them off course. they're in lines in courthouses because of little tickets they got right and left. i mean, this is -- a lot of people in realtime saw a problem. >> i think people need to understand this at home, your mother, can you imagine the anxiety families had every day that had kids 18 to 25 going outside saying i hope my child is not thrown up against a wall. >> stop and frisk. >> that's the language used, they're not thrown up against a wall, i mean, the whole community was living under siege. that's why we were hostile. >> the white community, and you did that to kids, you would find pot in their pockets and put them in jail too, but it only happened to black kids. >> and that's what's identified there, and that's all we were saying. i remember the naacp and national action networks, we marched tens of thousands, it it wasn't like we were not raising

these issues. >> how does he deal with this? this is much deeper -- >> he's going to have to come out of his comfort zone and have a real conversation with real people, the is that the for constitutional rights and the new york civil liberties, all the people that were dealing with it. you can't just, i know he had a meeting yesterday with black ministers and others, which are very good, but he can't talk to people who were not the advocates. >> speaking to reporters and interviews. >> and you have to be honest how you jump into the debate. he's right factually in the statement he released in response to the video. but he didn't just simply practice. between 2002 and 2011, stop and frisk increased seven fold under mayor bloomberg's mayorship, and "the new york times" fact checked this, so you can't just simply try to fudge it. he's going to have to address the issue head on and directly. if there's an issue here, particularly in the context of

black lives matter, he has to answer it. >> coming up, andrew yang is leaving the white house race but isn't ruling out a return to politics. the former presidential candidate joins us next on "morning joe." l candidate joins us next on "morning joe." g? yeah. only pay for what you need with liberty mutual. only pay for what you need with liberty mutual. con liberty mutual solo pagas lo que necesitas.
