clinton as the nominee for the democratic party. but it's important he's running and here's why. he really represents the voice of the liberal progressive part of the democratic party. he's going to be talking about issues like expanding social security a health care plan that amounts to medicare for all. he's also going to talk about money in politics and breaking up the big banks. that will pressure hillary clinton to talk about those issues. fans of bernie sanders are hoping his presence in the race will push her to the left going into the general election. >> and so -- let's look forward then since we're running out of time here. who do you think ultimately could be a big challenge for hillary clinton once this all comes together? >> this is a big question. we're not sure right now. her two biggest names, opponents right now will be either martin o'malley of maryland who hasn't formally jumped into the race or bernie sanders. sanders will talk about ideas. he's not viewed as a viable general election candidate. o'malley we can make the case i can check the boxes for the progressives in the party but i could run an win the presidency. >> all right. we'll see obviously how it shakes out. carrie dann thank you. >> thank you.

msnbc today to dispute those claims. >> the medical evidence does not suggest at all that he was able to injure himself. that the force of this injury akin to the force involved in a car accident with all that momentum going, that is not the kind -- that is much more force than you would get trying to bang your head against the wall of the van. the video is limited -- j. >> that's jayne speaking from police sources, information she was able to gather about what happened to freddie gray. people are in jail for protests all over the country in support of baltimore and at least half a dozen cities demonstrators demanded answers about freddie gray's death. here in washington protesters shut down parts of dupont circle u street and pennsylvania avenue. in new york city, police arrested more than 100 people. just moments ago, baltimore police said they turned over the investigation, as we mentioned, to the maryland state's attorney's office. civil rights leaders, including al sharpton and the president of the naacp are meeting with baltimore's mayor this
