rich rach rachel's parents spoke first to us at this hour. why do you think she's pretending?> well, basically bottom line we're just saying that we are -- we're confirming the truth. we are her birth parents, and we do not understand why she feels it's necessary to misrepresent her ethnicity. >> interesting situation. an online petition has been started and a peaceful protest planned for this evening outside the office of the naacp office in spokane pressing for dolezal to take a leave of absence. joining us now to talk about this is the former president and ceo of the naacp, former five-term congressman for the state of maryland. thank you for joining us. i appreciate you lending your insight here. i think right off the bat i want to ask, if you were still running the naacp, what would you do now? how would you handle this? would you allow this woman to keep leading this chapter in spokane? >> john, let me preface this by saying i run from hypotheticals but since you asked the question let me say there are a couple things the naacp has as options and i don't want to try to t

. >> you hear al franken say it and folks say it rach elmaddow making the case this is good for the party imply that some of these issues that bernie is raising, taking on wall street progressive approach to taxes wouldn't be on the table with a standard hillary clinton candidacy? >> i think that is the implication but it's not true. when hillary announced as she did at town meetings and that's in fact exactly what she talked about, is income inequality. she's been talking about child -- early childhood issues since she got into politics 35 years ago. so i think all this does is sharpen, sharpen her views and her views don't really actually need sharpening and gives her a platform. i think it is good for the party but i also think it's going to be good for hillary. >> you're obviously a vermonter -- >> i am. >> as ari said jumped in the race officially last week. what do you think about bernie and he seems to be the person who is not hillary catching the most fire on the democratic side right now. do you think he's the best alternative? >> i'm not looking for an alternative? i have my pre

>> i think -- rach last elections, 63% of the american people didn't vote. 80% of young people didn'te. it is no great secret that political consciousness in this country is not terribly high. which is not a big accident. it's what some people want. i think we can create serious debates on serious issues. how can the republican party ignore science in terms of climate change? with so much massive income and wealth inequality, why do they want to raise taxes on working families? so i think the more we have that clash of ideas, i think we win, i think people become more engaged in the political process. i think it's a good thing for paragraphives, i think it's a good thing for american democracy. >> senator bernie sanders, candidate for the democratic nomination for president of the united states. always great to see you. thank you very much for being with us. >> thank you, rachel. >> i will say i know neither party would want that to happen and i know beth parties think they made a strategic decision about organizing the debate. if some of the candidates decided to go rogue, forgive th

he needs to rach et up some with advisers but not get what congressman van hollen called mission creepe we have 3,000 troops there now. they are talking about sending another 450 advisers. if that then gets racheted up again in a few months then he's pulled once more into the quagmire. that's what he wants to avoid. he really does not want to leave office with the united states engaged in hostilities once again in iraq. the problem is that the iraqi army is incompetent, it always has been and it continues to show on the battlefield, why it needs american help. so that's the trap that the president is in. >> and jonathan i mean quickly, if he does send these extra troops in to iraq when he does get out of office it will actually have meant that he's actually had to in the last month of his presidency increase the number of american troops in that area that he wants so badly to be out of. >> except you have to compare it to the tens and thousands of troops that were there when he took office. i think he won't compare it to what it was in 2015 he'll compare when he leaves office to where

the president in describing it has put rach -- race where -- he is put race first. he said this is a racial issue irrespective of the ongoing investigation and questions still open. what does the president make of those putting race second or lower when putting behind the motive of the attack or the aftermath? josh: i have not seen specific comments you are referring to. i think i'll would just say i think the president's's observation about what appears to be the motive of the individual is the observation the vast majority of americans have reached. at the same time, there is an ongoing federal investigation. the president noted in his comments on thursday that he needed to be a little restraint making remarks about the alleged suspect. i need to do the same unfortunately. >> when you talked about moving the needle on this and it needs to be public opinion, what changes to the president's's message or his road trips, will we be seeing him actively do this? when you describe it, you are obviously -- obviously saying -- the language you have been using today is pass
