[applause] host: governor martin o'malley comes from along a long family of democrats, as well. his father was a leader in the democratic party. he came here in 1983 to work on gary hart's campaign as one of the staff organizers and had a chance to work on that great campaign in which heart finished second. he went to baltimore and became interested in local government in ran for this the council and got elected. the mayor spot became open, and the was a crowded field, and he dived into that and was successful becoming mayor. by the time he took over as the mayor of baltimore, there were high crime rate and a struggling economy as a result of the policies that he was able to enact, baltimore was able to turn around, and baltimo

in my lifetime, the best president i feel was president truman. he was the president of the people. president kennedy and jacqueline kennedy brought legality to the white house. they were the closest to having a king and queen in the american history of our politics. and i remember the young people under president kennedy and jacqueline, how they worked at a peace corps and was proud at that time to be american for what they tried to do for the american people. but i would like to ask you ladies what do you think about elizabeth ward -- warren? guest: i think of elizabeth ward -- warren -- she is not likely to run, but what you will continue to do, and people around her are very upset about it, is keep pressure on hillary clinton. she believes that hillary clinton is way too close to wall street. she wants her to surround herself with a different set of economic advisers.

no one ever thought harry truman could win in 1948.e saw the coalition and told truman how to rebuild it. he said the party spent too much on fund raiding and not enough on party building. he kept that on his desk every i think -- single day and this changed everything. we will hear a clear and compelling message. we'll see a successful campaign carrying it out to the voter. that's "hardball" for now, thank you for being with us. "all in" with chris hayes starts right now. >> tonight on "all in." >> it was not the subject or the source's fault. >> a legal troubles are just beginning for "rolling stone" as they finally retract their "rape on campus" story. >> the third one, i can't, oops. >>> plus, growing food in the desert. >> some people have for of a right to water than others. >> throwing out the first pitch at a stadium with two working bathrooms for 35,000 fans.

this is a time when i think a lot of people want to go back to the party of harry truman and franklin roosevelt. take a look -- think about harry truman what he would be saying to someone who told him he needed a -- a consultant to show him how to dress, or a lifestyle consultant telling him he needed to go to walmart. you know we need people who in politics, who will lead the same way they live. >>> and what is your time frame? whether do you think you have to make a decision on whether to launch this or not? >> the iowa trip was very good for us. iowa is a place which has, you know, a very high political intelligence level. people want to see you face-to-face. we got out in a lot of different places across the state. got tremendous response and respect for the message. one of the messages that every seems to be respond to is that we have too much money polluting the american political process, and it's particularly gotten worse after the citizens united decision and we have to find a way to have the people power overcome the money power. that's really the best solution. we did it wh

would see that a history that showed four presidents in a row to some extent as early as fdr but then truman eisenhower, kennedy, and johnson, you could say five presidents -- had all planned escalation or involvement in vietnam. different from what they'd told the public. made secret threats. secret operations. with costs much higher than they ever admitted to the public. and with prospects much dimmer, much less promising than they ever admitted to the public. all of them had done that as a pattern. perhaps the public could believe what i was told by hell rin, that another president, the latest president, was doing the same. that's what my hope was with the pentagon papers. it didn't happen. my hopes were not fulfilled. the public was inpressed by how much lying had been going on by all these earlier presidents. they still wanted to believe that our current president was telling the truth that there was a new nixon, that he was getting out -- which was after all very plausible, how could he not want to get out? in '68, '69 everyone gave him the benefit of the doubt because it was hard to i
