you had places like east flatbush and brownsville and brooklyn who were literally in terror and beingerrorized betwe by the drug wars between blood lines. you had a cocaine war that was causing mass death. you had black mayors, black pastors literally writing to the clinton administration saying, do something about it. even before that, you had 1973, these draconian laws passed that really criminalized drug use and inflamed these sort of wars between rival gangs. then in '86 you had ronald reagan pass that bill that made the disparity between crack cocaine really large. it was a dialogue between them and the black community, and many in the black community, bernie sanders, joe biden, they wanted it, violence act. >> they wanted some good tv, they got it. they wanted to demonstrate a moment where they could get under the president's skin a little bit. hillary clinton was not in elected office in 1994, but what does this demonstrate from '08 to 2016 about the greatest person you could have on your side for you, the spouse and the former president, as being proactive and an achilles heel

. >> public housing is ubiquitous, the south bronx, lower east side, brownsville, brooklyn, east harlemic housing. so the irony is, public housing is physically everywhere, yet politically invisible to the federal government. >> and on the republican side, you have a lot of sort of characterization of people who are struggling as takers. characterization of people using public assistance. talk a little bit about the reality of the people who live day-to-day and grow up in public housing. >> it's a vicious slide. the experience of public housing, rich, complicated, too widely varied to be reduced to a stereotype or stigma. you have single mothers who are raising three or four or five children, earning minimum wage. try doing that. the willpower that exists in public housing is formidable and i would compare it to anything in this country. you know, the people are strong. and what i want is for the brick and mortar to be as strong as the people who live there. >> let's listen to one more sound bide from hillary clinton when she did do her visit in the bronx. take a listen. >> we're going

he came and toured public housing in brownsville and after that i really started to feel the bern andgured i might as well jump in. this is the end of the game in new york city and i wanted to get in. >> do you think this is the end of the game? do you think if sanders doesn't do well, if hillary clinton leads him by double digits? is that the end of the game for sanders? >> no, for new york state. it's amusing to me how the goal posts have changed. clinton was supposed to win by wide margins in new york state and now they have decided to change expectations that if she wins at all it's a huge victory. i think regardless of what happens, bernie sanders has won in changing the messaging and making sure that the message is much more to the left. >> he may have won with the message but if he doesn't start getting more delegates, you know, with the super delegate situation, it's not going to be an easy road for him. >> it never was easy. and so i think he knows that. look how he's come from not being easy to actually people changing expectations of what a win is. he is going to pick up so

i worked brownsville, laredo.rked all those towns that we affectionately refer to as the knife and gun club. i worked the night shift there. you talk about building bridges. i literally got to see what that wall was like, which is like swiss cheese or it doesn't exist. the question is have you done your homework? i'm going to go into that voting booth next week. you're one of the few candidates -- well, the only person that's really gone down to see the border was donald trump. he gets it. he talked to the border patrol. he talked to the people. >> what policy would you push? >> i feel that those borders need to be secured, and i do. and i'll tell you why. i'll tell you why. because the crime is rampant. i mean, it's one thing you're talking the talk and i do like you, but i'm concerned that why have you not gone down to the border? why have you not talked to the people there and see what these people are experiencing? >> let me get an answer. >> i have talked to people but i haven't actually been there to look at

the brownsvilles of america, i like to say, have been left behind because you didn't have to focus ones and the recipients of those that were imprisoned, the lack of city services in state and national services, you're seeing the product of that, and they're the last crevices of americans we've left behind and need to bring forward. >> you throw people in prison for relatively minor crimes, that means there's no education going forward, right? because the money is going into incarceration, and to more police on the streets and not educational and rehabilitation programs. >> this country's criminal justice system was supposed to be about rehabilitation. and sometime a long time ago we decided to focus on punishment. and so i would argue at what point do we start to look at rehabilitating people who made mistakes. whether you committed wind crime or three, and we know it also ushered forth three strikes you're out laws. it led the way for states to do the same thing. at what point do you start to rehabilitate people and give them a real chance? part of the issue with the crime bill is i

/mexico border from brownsville to el paso and all the way to california/mexico border. the bank's investments have brought life-saving, potable drinking water to millions of people, many of whom faced health-threatening conditions due to unsafe sources of drinking waters. so that that leads me to the first question. january 2015 during the high-level economic dialogue, president obama and mexican president pena neato, agreed to double the bank's current capital from $3 billion to $6 billion, split evenly between the two nations. can you tell us why the bank is seeking to double its capital? >> congressman, the administration is looking for this capital increase because it will allow the united states to continue supporting these kinds of infrastructure projects on our border that are so important. it deepens our relationship with mexico, it addresses environmental issues that are cross-border issues and it is an important aspect of our economic life to have those issues addressed and only we in mexico are the parties of interest. which is why the nat bank and the u.s.-m

federal district court in brownsville, texas, issued an injunction against the president's executive action. the fifth circuit court of appeals affirmed that injunction, and now the supreme court of the united states has heard arguments in the case this afternoon. this is really more than just about immigration. this is whether under the doctrine of separation of powers, under the constitution that we've lived under for these many years gives the president unilateral authority without the approval of congress, the elected representatives of the people and in flagrant disregard for the laws that are already on the books. the heart of the case that the court heard today is about stopping a president who said, i have a pen and i have a phone. and even though the american people have given republicans a majority in both houses, and obviously forced the president to deal with a republican conference, to come up with consensus legislation, the president said forget that. i'm not about trying to achieve bipartisan consensus on anything. if i don't get what i want, i'm going to jam it throug
