when was the race that you ran against rahm emanuel?t the time you were running, did you understand what had taken place with laquan mcdonald? , the the runoff election first that was had in the city of chicago since we went to a nonpartisan system over 25 years ago, was felt in april of 2015. the laquan mcdonald incident had taken place in november of that before i became a candidate for that office. knewayor and his advisers of the existence of the video. they reached an early settlement before a lawsuit was even filed by the family of laquan mcdonald. as it turns out, the release of the video had torn the lid off coverups inal and the criminal justice system, having to do with police officers in chicago pretty much doing what they want, disabling some of the devices and the , audio, so that you could not tell what was going on when incidents were occurring. the world has come to know the video is an execution that was caught on tape that has really stirred the city and the country ofreflect on what kinds practices occurred, especiall

can you talk about why rahm emanuel is so significant in the democratic presidential race right now? anuelviously, rahm represents the 1%. powerful and the the connections to wall street in chicago, and someone who's the city inut tremendous crisis as it relates to criminal justice and as it relates to the chicago neighborhoods while the city has -- is in the shadow of the shiny downtown area. the mayor is quite unpopular in chicago, has a very low approval ating, and many people feel second tm in chigo -- by coveringp a crisi is vering ucandal, d using the $30 llion toet elected. he is not a popular figure. moore, youca morris also held a rally on friday. this is not the anti-trump rally. explain how it fits into chicago's city politics, and now because illinois is one of the major primaries going to be held tomorrow, national politics. veronica: i think that it relates, and the point that we were making is that the policies in chicago are reflective of the policies in america, the policies that have led to many black lives being murdered and nobody being held accountable in a lot of

the anger against rahm emanuel, who has about an 18% approval rate in the city of chicago rate. and with all that, he's still only -- only came 8% behind hillary clinton in cook county. so they were hoping for a better number out of cook county, particularly with all the activation there has been around rahm emanuel, police brutality, the protests that happened on friday night. so i think that is disappointing. at this point, it's hard to see how they make up those 40,000 votes they are still lacking as we get down to the final margins here. >> chris hayes for us in chicago at that bernie sanders' field office. chris, you just went through that moment when the people behind you realized they were on tv and made things very difficult for you. you handled that well, my friend. >> it's a little like, you know, when you start hearing your own voice a second late on the return. you have to bifurcate. >> they are tuned to msnbc all night. >> thank you, chris. chris again is there at the bernie field office. they're still planning on hearing from high level surrogates from the bernie s

of rahm emanuel. is rahm emanuel a real problem for you, especially with african-american voters in chicago? >> look, i'm running on my record, what i've done, who i am, and what i will do as president. and i think voters understand that. >> you said that there are no insults in contrast to the republicans. president clinton today went after bernie sanders in chicago and said that he's the blame candidate and that you're the responsibility candidate. that's being personal. >> oh, i don't think so. i think that, you know, that's pointing out that we have very different visions of where we are in the country and where we need to go. look, i'm an optimist about america. i hear so much pessimism, so much negativity, frankly, on both sides. lots of really dire predictions about our country. i think we can have the best years ahead of us, if we do what we have to do. and that is don't be blaming and scapegoating and bullying and engaging in bigotry, like donald trump. let's look positively toward what we ca

clinton can't credibly distance herself from rahm emanuel and can't embrace rahm emanuel, so do you thinkt unfair? >> well i think it's unfair. but this is the same sanders who said he would not go negative. here's a guy who's supposed to be this wonderful, honest hard-working guy. i'm not going to go negative i'm not going to do this and he's done all the things he said he wouldn't do. now, is rahm emanuel fair game? he may be. but i don't know what his actions have to do with the presidential election. >> i'm assuming that hillary clinton you think will win ohio tomorrow. why do you support her? >> i support her because i believe very very strongly that she is the best candidate on either side of the aisle to be the president of the united states. when you look at their histories, people's history is a very good barometer about what they will do in the future. if you look at her, she doesn't just talk the talk she walks the walk. so i am very very proud to say that i'm a supporter and a surrogate and i believe that she will be ready on day one. i don't think there's another candidate in

she has a long relationship with rahm emanuel. does she still support rahm emanuel?i think this is just the latest in attacks from bernie sanders trying to tie her to the mayor. she's been very clear that the justice department. she's the first candidate to say the justice department needed to do a review of the shooting and the chicago police department, and the first speech she gave in this campaign was about criminal justice reform. her record is clear. i think this is the latest attempt to distort and distract and try to make this more negative in the final days. >> you say it's barnd eaernie s attempt to tie her to rahm emanuel. >> she's been clear and will be looking for the justice department report. >> great to have you with us. thank you so much. >> we appreciate it. busy day tomorrow. >> a big interview coming up. chris christie doing the ver vi -- the interview. this is set to begin. we'll bring it to you moments away. it took joel silverman years to become a master dog trainer. but only a few commands to master depositing checks at chase atms. technology

i want to talk about -- i got to talk about rahm emanuel first. we're sitting here, less than 24 hours as we sit here after the first round, it turns out a first round of the primary for mayor in chicago in which your old friend, your old running buddy rahm emanuel did not clear the 50% threshold. >> right. >> and so it has to go to a runoff. we have seen in texas and elsewhere times when the person who was presumed to win got just below 50, but then when the runoff came it was the opposite result. so why should we feel good about rahm winning in the next round? >> well, first of all, you know, the presumption wasn't necessarily that he was going to skate by here. it was always going to be close. it was a multi-candidate field. >> right. >> five candidates. one of them spent a couple million dollars of his own money. >> yeah. >> another was supported by some unions in chicago, so it was a competitive situation. and each of them had a claim on some constituencies. >> he was favorite, though, you acknowledge. >> yes, absolutely. >> as the incumbent.

has rahm emanuel endorsed hillary clinton?n campaign has been very distant. >> rahm emanuel has definitely endorsed hillary clinton. i'm sure knowing the political animal that rahm emanuel is, he's somewhat frustrated for not being able to get actively involved here. but certainly, the strategy by bernie sanders is calculated to link that unpopularity toward rahm emanuel to hillary clinton. >> we have bernie sanders also campaigning with chuy garcia, who i know he's chuy, but he ran against rahm emanuel in the last mayoral race, is he popular enough to start to pull over some support to bernie sanders in the community of people of color? >> i think so. and one thing, yes, chuy garcia, cook county commissioner, ran against rahm emanuel, lost in a historic first ever run-off election to rahm emanuel, but still retains substantial popularity. in fact, garcia was endorsed by sanders for mayor, and garcia has actually not only in chicago, but he's played a national surrogate role for bernie sanders' campaign. >> and lastly, does th

sanders' strategy, trying to win illinois by tying clinton to chicago's mayor rahm emanuel, unpopular with some african-americans after a controversial police shooting. emanuel, a former top white house aide to bill clinton has endorsed hillary. >> rahm emanuel right now is radioactive. sanders in illinois is exploiting the same disenchantment with anything deemed vaguely establishment. >> reporter: perhaps tonight's biggest prize, ohio. sanders hammering clinton for her longtime support for free trade deals. >> i proudly stood with the workers secretary clinton stood with the big money interests. >> reporter: clinton respond. was nafta a mistake? >> you know, i think that you'll have to ask the experts who say on balance some people were helped. some people were hurt. if clinton were to lose the midwest to sanders, she would still be far ahead of him in delegates, but he would get a huge boost in momentum and in online contributions as he vows to keep this race going all the way to the convention. lester? >> andrea mitchell tonight, andrea, thanks very much. want to bring in our poli

three home states, arkansas, and illinois and all of a sudden bernie sanders started playing the rahm emanuels that seem to be effective? or is this specific to this city? >> i don't know if it can be rahmyed elsewhere but emanuel's approval numbers are so atrocious, especially with black voters and he has endorsed hillary clinton. hillary has said that she has his back and has confidence in him as a mayor, but because of the police shootings, the school budget crises, rahm emanuel is an especially bad trouble with black voters and they will be a special part of the democratic electorate. road heder if done the can deal with the fact that she has all of these endorsements. i wonder if they will set this president -- precedent of going after these people who have endorsed. could that work elsewhere? >> possibly if there are controversial figures done the road who are as close to clinton as she is to rahm emanuel. >> i will ask about florida because i always ask about florida. if the polls are correct and trump doesn't just win, but wins big. what is that about? was thoughtjeb bush to have a st

hayer rahm emanuel can hardly afford to give them up. last week a city would not dismiss a lawsuit that sought hundreds of millions in refunds. it's part of a controversy sparked by red light cameras, it involved shortened yellow lights. outright civic corruption. >> captured on camera, vehicles running red lights with disasous routes. in the next decade accidents like these killed 9,000. engineers grappled with ways to make interceptions safer. and a controversial method is to use red light cameras. working. >> that's from a vehicle of red flex traffic systems, a leading manufacturer of red light cameras. studies show that they reduce high speed crashes and critics point to studies conducted by states and the highway, concluding that red light cameras almost always lead to a steep increase in red light collisions. when you throe a red-light camera at an intersection, it creates a problem, because you have all of these things going on in the driver's mind, one is wow, if i don't stop here, and i go through on a short yellow, at the very

so mayor rahm emanuel can hardly afford to give up the revenue that's generated by red light cameras but last week, a judge ruled against the city's request to dismiss a lawsuit that is seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in refunds in red light camera tickets. the suit is just part of a huge controversy sparked by red light cameras in chicago. it's a story involving shortened yellow lights, a spike in rear end collisions and outright civic corruption. captured on camera. vehicles running red lights with disastrous results. in the last decade, accidents like these have killed nearly 9,000 people in the united states. engineers have grappled with ways to make intersections safer. and one of the most controversial methods is to use red light cameras. >> in communities across new jersey, traffic safety cameras are working to make people safe on our roads. >> that's a video from red flex traffic systems one of the main manufacturers of red light cameras. studies show that red light cameras reduce high speed t bone crashes. federal highway administration concludes that red light camer

look i think rahm emanuel went to chicago as obama's guy. guy who gave up a vance chance to be speaker of the house to be the chief of staff to president obama in the toughest period that the country's seen in a long time and did a great job. he has become a very disliked person among progressives and african-americans in chicago mainly because of the police brutality problem and the way he's dealt with it. the fact that people feel he had that videotape that somehow he was a part of hiding the videotape that showed a police murder -- >> has sanders successfully linked him -- >> sanders brilliantly said, actually took rahm emanuel's endorsement of hillary clinton and used it against hillary and said i don't want your endorsement. so you're going to see now whether or not that worked and you have to look at the black vote and see how it played, but i do think that rahm emanuel wound up being a net harm to hillary clinton than a gain. that wouldn't have been strewtr few years ago. definitely true this year. >> jeffrey lord, as we're awaiting d

quickly and the chicago statement was awful. >> well, i'll tell you if they lose illinois, it is on rahm emanuel. and apparently he knows it. he's a toxic figure. that just is what it is. it's fascinate ing how she's getting punished for rahm. >> he's beenin invisible with her. >> well, has to be. >>> alex is giving all this away, but we have to play "snl," you get the whole thing now here, alex. bernie sanders and the impact on hillary clinton. here it is. >> you're fired up. you're angry. and i'm angry too. because the top 10% of the top 1% controls 90% of the wealth in this country. so thank you millennial for lending your support to the biggest outsider jew in the race, hillary rodham clinton. >> but, doris, that actually is what's happening. bernie sanders has won the message primary. >> he won the message. >> this is their sense of rendezvous with destiny. you have to get that younger generation to support what you're doing. you've got to move in that direction. you know what's fun about watching this though it just reminds you politics used to be fun. >> yeah. >> when they did dirty trick

a lot of democrats believe rahm emanuel backlash is helping bernie sanders there. we're going to get to the democratic race later, but we're going to start with the republicans and the republican front-runner donald trump. mr. trump, welcome back to "meet the press," sir. >> good morning. >> i got to start with what's been happening over the last 48 to 72 hours. do you accept any responsibility whatsoever for the escalated tension that takes place at your rallies? >> well, i think if anything a lot of people have praised me for canceling the one rally. we had 25,000 people coming, we got a lot of them not to come through notice. and the rest of them we canceled because we had disrupters out there. they weren't really protesters, they were disrupters, like professionals. they had bernie sanders signs all over the place and made by bernie sanders people. these were professionally made signs. and rather than going, which i could have done pretty easily, i you would have had an awfully big riot and a lot of people would have been hurt. and i've been given a lot of cred

rahm emanuel's unpopularity may cost them votes in chicago they normally would have. and they're even thinking north carolina's going to be close. >> yeah. i mean, this week is sort of a replay of super tuesday for them where -- >> but in a more defensive approach. >> absolutely. i was going to say without the many advantages going in we thought she had there. and we really can't underestimate the blow that michigan dealt to the campaign. she was supposed to win there. she expended a lot of political capital and a lot of time and effort to win there and she lost badly. >> and i'll tell you i think the auto bailout hit, i think they wish they'd done it sooner. >> right. >> they sort of blew that one. but they've been wary, alex. it's sort of like they have one foot in the general, they don't want ta alienate sanders, they don't want to anger him or his voters and at the same time they need to defeat him. >> well, bernie sanders is going to be the democratic nominee. >> yes. whether he's wearing a man suit or a pantsuit. >> oh, i see what you're saying. >> the campaign

quickly and the chicago statement was awful. >> well, i'll tell you if they lose illinois, it is on rahm emanuel. and apparently he knows it. there's nothing he can do about it. he's a toxic figure. that just is what it is. it's fascinate ing how she's getting punished for rahm. >> he's beenin invisible with her. >> well, has to be. >>> alex is giving all this away, but we have to play "snl," you get the whole thing now here, alex. bernie sanders and the impact on hillary clinton. here it is. >> you're fired up. you're angry. and i'm angry too. because the top 10% of the top 1% controls 90% of the wealth in this country. so thank you millennial for lending your support to the biggest outsider jew in the race, hillary rodham clinton.

a lot of hard feelings about rahm emanuel. and this is apparently been a drag on hillary clinton, we're going to find that when the exit polling comes out. >> in terms of that point of to see bernie sanders making it an absolute foreground image in terms of what he stands for in illinois, compared to secretary clinton. is that something that plays only in chicago, or is that something that is going to have resonance for people throughout illinois? >> it's going to be resonance in cook on which is where the most of the democratic votes are in the state. in chicago, people have long memories, it's like political alzheimer's, where you forget everything but the grudges, a lot of hard feelings arrange this mcdonald case, the horrendous homicide race that we have had in chicago in recent years, all of this has been bearing badly on clinton's campaign, i think. i can't help but wonder if that's the reason why she made her announcement earlier before illinois's votes came in. because there's still a question over who's going to win t

>> well, rahm emanuel, with all due respect to the mayor, is not terribly popular right now, even inicago much less down state. so i think bernie sanders for solid political reasons has decided to run against emanuel as much as hillary. that's the source of that. but remember hillary was born in illinois. she has a lot of strong support there but illinois is fairly competitive. it's not like florida which is heavily for clinton or north carolina for clinton. that one is competitive along with missouri and ohio on the democratic side. >> larry, buck, julian, thanks so much for-to-all of you, appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> marco rubio a very busy man today. he had five events scheduled in his home state in florida. we'll look at his chances of beating donald trump next. o fee. ...at your core. trubiotics a probiotic from one a day naturally helps support both your digestive and immune health by combining... ... two types of good bacteria. trubiotics. be true to your health. if legalzoom has your back.s, over the last 10 years we've helped one million business owners get started. visi

well, she was campaigning in ohio, but certainly, rahm emanuel is nowhere to be seen.s is what happened today when bill clinton was at a polling place in chicago and he was asked, why is hillary clinton doing so badly in her home state of illinois? here's the former president. >> there should be a race for president, and there's a blame candidate and a responsibility candidate in this race. i'm betting the responsibility candidate will win. >> do you accept the former president calling bernie sanders the blame candidate? >> no, i don't accept that. bernie's message is resonating here in missouri, ohio, and florida. i think all across the nation. because it's what people really believe we need to do in this country. the economy of america is rigged. it's sending too much wealth to the top. the rigged economy held in place by a corrupt campaign finance. and bernie is talking about today. standing up to powerful interests on behalf of the ordinary people. i think that's why bernie sanders is succeeding. >> how does he feel when the former president of the united states, t

of course, illinois, we have the rahm emanuel problem, in ohio, where she has a challenge from bernie sanders. it's a hell of a night, and hard to predict anything but a safe bet is florida, but outside of that, it's wide open. >> chris, thanks. let's stay in ohio, as we bring in the correspondents, tony in in struthers ohio, reporting there all day. hey, tony. >> reporter: hey, brian. struthers, ohio, suburb of yo g youngsto youngstown, double what it is, people have been streaming in all day. looking at a post work rush now. candidates from the kasich campaign, the trump campaign, the sanders campaign, clinton campaign, all through this area in the last week trying to get this important working class vote. what's important about ohio, tracking all day this location, you could pick any ballot. it doesn't matter what you came in as. republican or democratic, you can take any ballots. we've been looking at cross over voters. any city of struthers, 93% of the people, if they were affiliated with the democratic party, when you come over here, you would only expect 7% republican, the data
