reclaiming my time. >> joining our discussion now, former secretary of housing and urban development, julian castro former mayor of san antonio, texas, and he's now a democratic candidate for president. and, secretary castro, i want to first of all just speak to you in your former capacity as a secretary of housing and urban development and get your reaction to what we saw in that hearing today and what it means for the department of housing and urban development. >> well, it's a classic case of, you know, it would be funny if it weren't so sad because as you pointed out, and representative katie porter and others pointed out today, there are 4.4 million people who are waiting for housing assistance, not being served who need it. at the same time, the trump administration proposed over a 16% cut to hud's budget that already is only serving one out of every four americans who qualify for housing assistance. and on top of that, you add the performance that we saw today which is really a window into the fact that secretary carson 2 1/2 years into his term doesn't have any kind of command over some of

[ laughter ] yeah, i have 18 angry democrats. no collusion [ laughter ] president trump this morning discussed the recent senate subpoena of his son don junior, odcalling him, quote, a gooung man who has gone through hell. okay, can you stop calling don junior a young man he's 41. when a woman turns 41 you're ready to drive her to the edge of the woods and leave her there. "okay, good-bye, enjoy the two or three years you have left good-bye." [

i'll be joined by hud secretary julian castro.a ainsley broke the story of this new statement provided by the office of bob mueller which explores the distance between barr and mueller on why there wasn't a formal finding on obstruction and what role the doj's guidance plays. it would appear to show the two disagreeing. and you compare that to this morning. this is what i looked like as he approached the podium. one thing he cited was why you do not charge a sitting president. >> we did not make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime. the introduction to the volume two of your report explains that decision. it explains that under long-standing department policy, a president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. that is unconstitutional. even if the charge is kept under seal and hidden from public view, that too is prohibited. a special counsel's office is part of the department of justice. and by regulation, it was bound by that department policy. charging the president with a crime

let's bring in julian castro, a former cabinet official in the obama administration who is a candidateor the democratic presidential nomination, and he joins me by phone. secretary castro, i appreciate you joining us. thank you. especially with this breaking news. give me your react to the news tonight. you're calling on the attorney general to resign or possibly face impeachment? >> what you have is an attorney general that has actively misleading the public and congress. you know, the attorney general takes an oath to defend the constitution, and at every juncture, what is clear is that this attorney general instead has tried to be donald trump's personal lawyer, trying to defend donald trump. and that's not the role of the oregon. people will remember that the summary he sent out about the mueller report didn't reflect the fact that bob mueller had found ten different instances of potential obstruction of just e justice. he also misled the american public about whether bob mueller thought under department of justice guidelines that he could move forward with an indictment against th

julian castro needs a defining moment, it hasn't come yet. so my question is for democratic voters who for them the number one question is who can beat donald trump? that the their top consideration. how do you convince them you're a stronger candidate than a biden or sanders or o'rourke? >> thanks for the question. we have about 41 weeks left until the iowa caucus. who is counting? except those of us that are running. so it doesn't phase me if i'm not the front runner in early may of 2019. what i want to make sure we do is build a strong campaign so that i al the from the front ru spring of 2020. number one, i'm one of the few folks in this race that has strong executive experience. i served as secretary of housing and urban development managing $48 billion budget, 8,000 employees and served as mayor of the seventh largest city in the united states, san antonio. i represent a new generation of leadership and i think that people want new blood in 2020. >> which could be beto o'rourke and pete. >> no, there is no question that all -- right. i

julian castro has a plan. and i understand kirsten gillibrand and abolishing ice. there's many that don't agree with republican orthodoxy about how to address this crisis. jeh johnson has done everyone a great service, especially democrats saying it's official, this is a crisis and we have to talk about it in that language. i hope there's a gang of six bill, gang of eight where we can get somewhere on this. this asylum system is ground zero for fixing this. >> can i step in? were you done? >> i am. >> what the representative told me, don't buy them lock, star and barrel on the democrat side just because he doesn't fulfill believing everything what the republicans are putting forth. he has his own ideas. they don't mirror -- >> i'm not arguing that at all. making an argument about people that represent border states when you have a republican outspoken about his aversion to the way republicans are addressing his. >> his aversion is to not getting anything done. >> but he doesn't think a wall -- >> nothing. i want to get this in. what actually forces the hand? that's

joining me now from san antonio is julian castro, democratic can't dade for president, and mr., your twin brother, congressman joaquin castro leveled that cover-up charge against the president on migrant deaths. i'm guessing that you agree with him. >> i do agree with my brothers, and i was glad that joaquin spoke out and the congressional hispanic caucus is speaking out on this and really people from across the country are speaking out because time and time again, as you know, dana, these homeland security officials have been in front of congress and since the time that the -- the latest young child that we found out about, since the time that that child passed away, those officials were asked whether they were aware that, you know, of any other deaths, any other child had died, and -- and they said no. they said they were not away, and i just don't believe, that and it makes one wonder based on what they have been whoelgd ait and also on the track record of this administration of how many lies it's told and how many facts it's distorted and how much silence it's let go withou

julian castro has already spent 14 days in the state.fact, every single democratic esidential candidate has already visited iowa at least once this election cycle. in a crowded democratic field of tere than 20, candidates are hoping that intioments like this... >> can i get you to sign my book? >> nawaz: ...early in the cycle, could lead to support in the alimportant iowa caucuses february, the first in the country. >> a lotf people don't know anything about me. and so, it's a great opportunity every time i get in front of an audience here in iowa or one of the other states, to l them know where i'm coming from and what i want to do for them and for their family. >> that is why i'm here. >> nawaz: the night before, the thompsons went to see formerto congressman 'rourke on his third trip to iowa. >> well, ultimately, it's going to be up to the voters in iowa, those who go to the caucuses to lltermine who the nominee be or at least who's going to have a head start from the rest of the field coming out of iowa. we've held now more than 120

julian castro earned himself a spot on that debate stage and now speaking with marianna. anding by in san antonio and anna palmer and jake sherman. marianna, what did you hear from julio castro and walk us through how the interview went. >> one of the signature initiatives as mayor of san ant antonio was publicly funded full pre-k. now he tells us, he wants to take that nationally. along with free public college, alleviating student debt and higher teacher pay. but this plan is going to cost an estimated $1.5 trillion. so, naturally, i asked him how he plans to pay for it. he says he would look to those trump tax cuts from last year. and then i asked him why he was so passionate about this issue and why he thinks it will resonate with voters. >> i absolutely think that the house should start impeachment proceedings against the president because the mueller report pointed out ten instances where the president obstructed justice or tried to obstruct justice. the question to the democrats on capitol hill is, how long are you going to have to wait? how many laws does he have t

and julian castro and cory booker both announced today that they had both made that threshold, 65,000ors. senator kirsten gillibrand of new york still has not. it's not for lack of trying. she's making her case on social media, including this new video of her playing beer pong, like a good dartmouth grad, saying, if kirsten makes this shot, will you donate? >> that's a really good question. we have to give credence to something that a lot of polls are showing, which is that women candidates in this race are just simply not doing as well was male candidates. and that's not a new phenomenon, but it is a real thing. and i think that we should actually acknowledge that. but i also think that there are a lot of people in this race that voters are looking at them and asking them, why you running for president? and you have to make that case to people. and i don't know, but it's perhaps she hasn't quite done that yet, she hasn't had a breakout moment. so it's going to be tough for you, if you can't kind of break through in this very crowded field like some other folks have, whether it's butt

i think congressman -- i'm sorry, former hud secretary julian castro has even gone so far as to callthere are these 12 criminal cases that mueller handed off to other offices that we don't know what they are. there are 14 total, but we know what two of them are. there are 12 others. take a listen to this exchange between barr and democratic senator richard blumenthal of connecticut. >> you can't recall whether you have discussed those cases with anyone in the white house, including the president of the united states? >> my recollection is i have not discussed those -- >> but you don't recall for sure? >> i j -- >> let me move on -- >> i can say very surely, i did not discuss the substance of any -- >> will you recruiuse yourself m those investigations? >> no. >> what did you make of that exchange and do you think he should recuse himself? >> i don't know. he's not going to. he didn't recuse himself from the mueller investigation as a whole, even though he wrote a memo unsolicited that pre-judged the whole obstruction issue. i think that's something that congress needs to pay very clo

julian castro tweeting, he should resign his position or face an impeachment inquire himself immediately. what do you think of that? >> i think that's correct. i think that barr should resign. if he does not resign, he should be facing impeachment proceedings also. he has abdicated on his responsibility. he's lied. he has used the very words coming right out of the president's mouth, no collusion, no collusion, no collusion, and made a decision that despite what the special counsel put into that report about obstruction of justice, he said he made the decision that he had not obstructed justice. it is outrageous, and he needs to go. >> all right. congresswoman maxine waters, thank you so much for your time tonight. >> you're welcome. thank you. >>> joining me now is former watergate prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst. there's not really a legal issue per se. there might be a constitutional issue in barr's conduct here. but there is kind of a procedural issue, which is are you undertaking your duties as the head of the department of justice in good faith, and what do you think this letter

julian castro is mayor of san antonio before he ran hud. and that means that he's definitely got texas cred. right? and san antonio roots. but he's never run statewide in texas. democrats generally don't win statewide elections in texas. the last time a democrat won statewide in texas was a quarter of a century ago, in the early '90s. since then, texas has been a reliable bastion of republican politics, just an electoral firewall, almost a political guarantee. until it very nearly wasn't very recently. in the 2018 elections, in the midterms, a once low-profile democratic congressman named beto o'rourke came within 2.6 percentage points of unseating republican incumbent senator ted cruz. and, i mean, number one, incumbents never lose. number two, democrats aren't supposed to win statewide in texas. right? they're not even supposed to come anywhere near close. republicans in texas are supposed to glide to victory. democrats sometimes don't even put up a fight. right? but there's beto o'rourke and his 2.6% behind the incumbent republican senat
