clinton wilson, known as ‘king aggi', was the leader of one of britain's most notorious gangs of drugrs, the aggi crew. a group of friends from east bristol who grew up to become violent and dangerous criminals. the police couldn't grab me off of this road here. i would stand right here with my back to them, like this, yeah? they ain't grabbing me, because if they grab me, all of them's running it. so we've got a problem, simple as that. because you were such a tight group? because we were such a tight group. the aggi crew ruled bristol's crack cocaine market with intimidation and violence. but when clinton wilson's criminal empire crashed around him, he lost most of his adult life to prison. but 20 years on, and bristol is still the crack capital of england. now, clinton wants to stop other young people getting involved in drug dealing, ending up in prison or worse. you have to understand these kids nowadays. they‘ re running around with swords, you know. but i know that they don't know that if they stab you, you're going to die. our main story tonight — cracking down on knife crime.

clinton. she's the president and ceo for the center for american progress. and rick wilson is back with us. the trump tariffs has not been emphasized as some of us might have expected it to be by the democratic candidates and certainly not by the questioners in the debate. and so it's hard for the candidates to try to steer over to something that the questioners generally have not been bringing up. but david plouffe i think has a very important point there. >> absolutely. and i think david is a thousand percent correct. i think that there's a real opportunity to talk about how donald trump is actually betraying the voters that he claimed he help. and he's made economic issues a paramount concern. he's bragged about the economy. well, the way people think about the economy is in their paychecks and in job losses. and this is a cold, hard fact. 300,000 jobs lost because of the actions of a president. that is something i agree, every single democrat should be talking about tomorrow. >> and rick wilson, in what used to be the republican party, every republican senator would be on the floor of t

wilson does run for president. he doesn't run very well, as you recall, but bob dole inns of getting the nomination, clinton versusl which is basically what nixon predicted it was going to be. just fascinating how his mind worked and he's always thinking several steps ahead. >> i appreciate your scholarship, and it went as this all due respect, because i know i'm in the nixon library, , aftr all. i know you wrote a biography on general eisenhower, and i just finished, i just finished jean edward smith biography, eisenhower in war and peace. and in that there are all sorts of tidbits about nixon and it doesn't seem like nixon was very well-regarded by president eisenhower. i know one question was asked of general eisenhower, vice president nixon doesn't contribute your administration. he said give me a a week, i'll think of something. there's a legacy with his dirty campaign against douglas, the racial epithets that are caught on tape with, during the watergate scandals. so many ways a very checkered dark, dark character and you talk about his redemption and his efforts at redemption. my question is, what is the he

. >>> and we're joined now by rick wilson, republican strategist, also is a senior adviser to president obama and hillary clintoncenter of american progress. and evelyn is back with us. i want to get your reaction to this round of reporting tonight of the special treatment of the presidential phone call records. >> yeah. i think we should be really clear about what's happening here, which is, just remember about this information about the russia call "the washington post" is now breaking, the russian meeting. remember, when you look at that photo that you showed on msnbc just a second ago, it says russian foreign ministry at the top of that. why? because because it was the russians that showed the picture. why is that important? because trump didn't want to tell us he even had the meeting. i think the time for giving the most charitable interpretation to trump's actions are over, particularly after the ukrainian call. the idea that he would say in the months after the 2016 election to the russians, it's basically okay what you did because we do things like that and other elections, he's going to be a candidate a
