amy: congressman or luis gutierrez, i want to ask about puerto rico. last weekend, jim and half recommended reopening u.s. military base in puerto rico as commerce considers legislation to address puerto rico's debt crisis. for decades, the navy used nearly three quarters of the area for bombing practices, wargames, dumping old munitions, leading to lasting environmental damage, napalm in the island. the navy ended training operations in 2003 following massive civil disobedience. the senator said reopening the base would benefit the u.s. military and the puerto rican economy. i want to play for you what he said. >> i would think any kind of a deal that is made is going to have to include consideration for the training that is still available. there is still no range likevieques anywhere in the u.s. him is fair. what can be done there cannot be done on one location by joint force. amy: your response? >> first of all, the last time the federal magistrate sentenced me to a year probation, they were very clear if i participated once again and protesting in

we will speak to congressman luis gutierrez and immigration activist and journalist jose antonio vargas. then it's election day in new york. >> we have a system here in new york were independent can get involved in the democratic primary. [boos] where young people who have not previously registered want to register today, just cannot do it. it is going to be a top primary for us. why can't millions of new yorkers vote in today's new york primary? as bernie sanders attempts to upset hillary clinton in new york, we will look at the restrictive voting laws. then as north carolina and mississippi has sweeping anti-lgbt laws, we will look at utah with the other way. the u.s. legislature last year passed a landmark lgbt anti-discrimination law. >> i do believe that what we have done will become a model for the rest of the country of how they, too, can resolve these issues in their own respective's dates as we find the right balance necessary to discourage discrimination law protecting religious liberties. amy: we will speak with the only openly gay member of the utah state legislature as well

amy: there is luis gutierrez, the congressman, with the nbcsowhite. what did you leave?i did not want to leave. i refuse to go back on the air initially because of what had happened the show was gone and i felt that they were asking me to come back to anchor my hours, but not to actually host the show. amy: what do you mean? >> the show had a sort of branding. we did certain kinds of work. we brought particular voices, had a perspective and point of view and we had a lot of editorial control that have been true for four years. but over the course of really the months that began in 2016, we had moved to -- i want to be clear, i think the word "politics" is the wrong word. it was election coverage. that is that the same for my perspective. i was not ready to do horserace coverage. i had not been invited to host my show him a nor to even anchor during my hours for weeks. after some other media outlets asked questions about that, i was then invited back, not to host my show, but to anchor 10:00 a.m. to noon saturday and sunday. i felt doing so would have been to signal to th

or luis gutierrez who's led the fight for immigration. i understand. and maybe this highlights in.ator sanders was on the picket line. and that's a good place for people in labor. but what we want if we're going to make progress is to be effective within the way government works and to mobilize support for that. yes, of course we want change. hillary clinton is as committed to change as bernie sanders. so is barack obama. the problem is that senator sanders has denigrated the kind of change we were able to get because his mode of operation is in fact the picket line. and if you look at -- people have made a big point about no senator was supporting ted cruz until the trump horror overtook them. no senator is supporting bernie sanders. and that includes a lot of committed non-establishment types. so there is a difference in how you get things done. there is no great difference in where you want to go. but the overwhelming -- and by the way, it's not just people in congress. planned parenthood. the human rights campaign. leading environmental groups. leading budget fairness groups. t

. >> luis gutierrez hears about the topic. he works six days a group for nclr.a puerto rican restaurant in orlando. >> i think the things that happen to people are going to affect the elections. >> black people and latinos and all of that stuff, that's always a conversation subject. >> in another swing state, nevada, serena registers voters for asian-american vote. police brutality concerns not a common topic he hears about. new republican larcel mckey registered after 2012. >> i just think everybody is fair. >> people need to open their eyes and see the big picture here. >> this is very much at the top of their agenda. we've done a number of research and polls on this and it still ranks always in the top three. >> the top three of new voters, 26-year-old luis is registering. 14 each day if he makes his goal. the one serena counts hourly, each registration like gold to her. a smile when she reaches 20 each day. regardless of party, she and luis know, it's these new voters, they're the ones that will decide if places like ferguson will be remembered on election d

luis gutierrez. congress fromof the state of illinois. the case has been submitted to the supreme court. i think we did really, really well. we did well on the law and we did well because the american people support this pathway. today, clearly, they had no argument. of peoples, millions live in the united states in the shadows, and they drive. they drive and they should drive with drivers licenses and insurance. the fact that millions of people in the u.s. work, they should work and pay taxes to the .ederal government and work it seems today, clearly the law was on the side of the people and the president of the united states has taken action. it was clearly established in -- the onlyat difference today was that barack obama forced the issue. every time a state does not like what the federal, what the administration does or what this legislature does, the congress of the u.s., you can go -- cannot go into court and sue them. what the president did was lawful. it was passed by the congress of the united states. it allows the president of
