the island may be named after fdr but today it was all about hrc. here is nancy cordes. >> it was months in the making and looked it. the podium position just so to capture the view of the world trade center. >> i'm not running for some americans but for all americans. >> reporter: clinton told a crowd of 5500 she's a proven fighter who will tackle inequality. >> i believe that success isn't measured by how much the wealthiest americans have but by how many children climb out of poverty. >> reporter: she accused her republican opponents of out dated views on climate change, immigration, and gay marriage. >> they're suggest singing the same old song. a song called "yesterday." you know the one? "all our troubles look as though they're here to stay." >> reporter: as for opponent whose say that as 67 she is yesterday's news -- >> well i may not be the youngest candidate in this race, but i will be the youngest woman president in the history of the united states. >> reporter: kimberly lattimore and jackie weatherspoon were first in line at 6:00 a.m. >>

something as positive as >> but i remember just before "lawrence" talking to activists people involved with hrc empty the legal landscape and people said marriage not on our radar screen. let's talk about equality first. was the possibility of marriage marriage? >> it's all about having the same options of everybody else. it isn't even whether or not you ever exercise that option. to be told by your government: you don't even get to choose is so harmful. you grow up believing you are a second class citizen from the moment you recognize that you are gay or lesbian and until recently, you didn't think you ever would be equal. marriage is the most significant decision you make as an adult. and if the government's telling you, sorry, when you decide to be with someone of the same sex, you don't get to be married. you will never be as good as everyone else, you are forever in the status of a child essentially in this child. benefits of all kinds are delivered to couples, individuals through marriage. if that weren't the case, then we could say something like, well, we want to reject that paradigm an

tried advise in 2013 and we're told that blumenthal acted as a defensive intelligence operative for hrc 100% for releasing the blumenthal documents only if only if there is also the release of the transcripts of today's deposition. >> the documents provided to the committee based on the tone and the date stamps do not appear to be the complete record for blumenthal. we're waiting on the state department briefing right now, we're going to ask them what they make of this apparent gap in the records, jon. >> and these were documents, as you say, have not been presented to congress before. >> that's correct. >> and until the investigative committee has had a chance to look at them. >> and the key thing is whether mrs. clinton made the decision unilateral not to try the documents to the state department. or whether she provided them and the state department made the condition that they were not relevant to the committee. you almost have this shell game with the documents and it may be impossible in the end, as we heard from chairman gowdy, to verify that it's complete. >> it's fascinating to

not hrc. >> i get confused. >> very good sub limbliminal advertising there. >> let's listen to whoopie. >> the only other argument you can make against having this flag be as spectacularly shown as it is around the south is the nazis. i mean it would be like having the swastika flag. >> in germany it's illegal. >> do you see that as the same thing? swastika? >> i'm not jewish. but i do know the history. clearly that was the symbol of the third reich. and part of their agenda was extermination of jews. as a human being i find that repulsive. when i look at the flag i got to tell you, ways saying yesterday it just troubles me because it suggests to me that there are people like you think about 48 and strong thurmond saying we're going to have a states rights party and it's going to stand for segregation. segregation now go on segregation forever all that. so what does that mean? i wouldn't be sitting here with my friends, i tell you that. i wouldn't have had the opportunity to get an education in this country. really it speaks to my ability to be a human being in this society. so you got

he's standing with the president of the hrc. >> you were inside the courtroom today, you were sittingn? >> it was incredible. when the court was gathered in session, the chief justice immediately went to justice kennedy who had the decision and that was the decision in the ogelbefef ogelbefell case. about 60 seconds into the reading, it was very clear the court would be striking down bans to equal marriage in this country. >> when it comes to the supreme court, there is what they do and how they do it. this was an opinion that talked a lot about love, about equality, not just about narrow notions of law. how did that strike you and what did you read into what justice kennedy chose to say from the bench? >> you're absolutely right. he talked about love he talked about dignity, liberty and equality. i think the major theme in his opinion are the children. he talked about the hundreds and thousands of children today all across this country and 50 states who are being raised by same-sex couples. by this decision that means those children are now being raised by legal parents who have the

hearing the name calling, we had an incident in alabama this weekend where a guy with an hrc sticker on his car was chased by another guy in a car and they pointed a gun at him. we're always concerned about potential violence and hate speech when this happens, but we've got to stay strong. we're moving forward, and the country's moving forward, and these people are going to be left behind. the probate judges are losing money for their county. because if they're not going to issue any marriage licenses. somebody is going to go to the next county to get it. they're going to lose revenue. don't come to me and say i need more money for my court system, i had to lay off a bailiff, when you won't provide a basic service that's your job. >> state representative, patricia todd, who sounds fairly confident this will be resolved in the right way down in alabama. thank you for joining us tonight, representative. >> thank you. >> behind the scenes, many republican strategists have been quietly celebrating friday's ruling as a chance for the gop to leave the increasingly damaging issue of gay rig

other side, hrc, at the historically black college near houston.bout expanding voting rights to a minimum of 20 days. an interesting suggestion. and this following her stance on mass incarceration make me say she understands that black voters are going to be a critical constituency, and that she has to reach out. she cannot take them for granted. >> that's interesting. in 2007 in the senate she had a voting rights bill that would have done 50-day window across the country for early voting. this is something consistent with her past. i think what you're seeing from hillary clinton now is her attempt to gather the democratic party. you see mass incarcerations, voting rights, expanding what the president's done on immigration. i think with the roosevelt island speech where she's talking about franklin roosevelt, there you've got the economic liberals of the democratic party. this is the gathering time. she's trying to get ready for the big election -- >> get her ducks in a row. >> thank you as always for being here. we appreciate it. >>> we also want

[laughter] and of course the speech he was to give shows that out boulder one colorado, hrc, all of thecy -- advocacy groups locally and at the state level and nationally need to redouble our efforts. and while boulder was the first for gay marriage, we need to redouble our efforts to make sure we are the last time that summit he like evan will have to go through what he had to go through and graduated high school. amy: that was jared polis, the openly gay congressmember on the area representing boulder and longmont. evan young joins us from denver, colorado, from the studios of denver open media. evan, how did it feel to both give your speech and then be given the -- this citation congressional recognition for what you have contributed to the community? >> yeah, it was crazy. when i was initially denied the right to give my speech, i was a little mad, but i had no idea it would go this far and that i would receive so much support from so many people. it was just awesome. amy: talk about how this took place on may 16, your preparation for the speech. you actually went to -- was your hig
