his name is michael brown. >> no pictures.is is ridiculous. >> reporter: and in recent years, he's had more appointments in courtrooms than operating rooms. >> i personally believe that he never sees himself as anything but a victim. and that he feels anyone that disagrees with him must be punished. and i think he's a very angry man. >> reporter: at one time, michael brown was one of america's leading hand surgeons, an innovator in a treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome with a taste for finer things. for the doctor, that meant a life of texas excess. and exes. he'd already been through two wives by the time he met 20-year-old darlina in 1993. what was it about him that did captivate you? >> he was very sweet. just very attentive to me, treated me like a princess in the beginning. >> reporter: did he buy you gifts? >> yeah, he absolutely spoiled me in the beginning. >> reporter: after two weeks, they were living together. married just about a year later. though it almost didn't happen except for darlina's mom stepping in. >> wh

thank you and with me is our executive director michael brown. >> thank you a donis. you said that very good. we have a population in san francisco in the 1999 census. you should be 44% african-american in district 10 -- district 11 i'm sorry. that was in the 1990 census. now we're a population of 4%. how can we have 65% african-american incarcerated but we have the aggressive leaders in our community? we have coalitions that are beautiful, all of the coalitions and everything, but when it come to the the african-american they're doing this, doing that. all of this negativity. we want the leadership to stand up for the people who have been stepped on the most. how can i give him a job if i ain't got a job? that's the problem. that's what they're talking about in district 11. they all fight for funding because they need jobs in order to give the kids a helping hand so this has been a revolving door. we talk about economics and equity and inclusion but when we go to somebody with a contract and get help. well, you know politically i can't help you and all this nonsense

the problem does not lie exclusively with us as african americans. >> brown: michael melton, you are he ment org business, right? >> yes, i am. >> brown: your organization. so you're working with young african american men and women, but what-- what do you tell them? what's the most important thing for them to negotiate their way through all the things we've talked about? >> i try to tell them to be aware of your surroundings and how other people are perceiving you. and you don't need to be defensive, but you need to actually think more than a normal person would about can this be perceived incorrectly? and be nonaggressive. just naturally. and just try to think about that. because people are going to sometimes see you incorrectly, but a conversation, "hey, who are you? what do you want? i'm just trying to walk home." there was something that could have defused it? but on the other end, i think that self-defense in this case should not have been applicable at all. for example, if you incorrectly approach someone because you think they're doing something wrong and then whatever ensues

>>brown: and yet the president michael stepped in, said he had to come back at the end of the wake and say something. how unusual, what struck you about this? >> the first thing unusual about it, historians always speak about a president and say how different it is. the difference is you had an african american president talk about this issue rather than john kennedy, are campaigning 50 years ago for a civil rights bill. who among us would like to have the color of his skin changed and live the life that african americans were, us, presumably, how different the audience were. after the death of martin luther king, called on black americans and essentially said, don't respond with violence. they quite rightly said you don't have the standing to say that to us. in contrast president obama said the way to dishonor trayvon martin's legacy would be to respond with violence. also with politically motivates, in has been a rising expectation in some areas of the country that this verdict may be overwhelmed by federal action. it was probably even more after attorney general holder said the othe

joining me now, michael fletcher, carrie brown, domenico montanaro. it's not a one-tiered offer. it was a list, including an attempt to block old complaints as it relates to corporate tax and tax reform. >> well, we brought in that old "godfather" line there. before the president made the speech, republicans had refused to accept the offer. we've already seen that on the hill that a lot of republicans are feeling like this is a non-starter because what supposedly is the carrot in corporate taxes being reduced to 28% with loopholes being cut out is something that republicans don't want to do because they know that's popular with the president but they also want to do individual tax reform. if they can't get that done, they don't want to budge on any of these other items. certainly a very long laundry list of things. at least five points he laid out. it's not clear that congress will take up any of them. >> to your point, john boehner through his spokesperson made a statement before this speech. it said in part, this grand bargain allows president obama to support president obama's

michael, great to see you. you got a shot of the studio. lauren brown jarvis, l.b.j. n the house jayar jackson senior producer of the "young turks." all right. michael, let me start with you. one, is anthony wiener mental? >> well, i mean, you know, yes he is, because he decided to run for mayor of new york, so i think that's why. these are things that we knew about anthony wiener, the public knew. he predicted that more things would come out. the fact that he did it. christine pelosi was on our show today. she said that relaps is part of rehab. i don't know that, but i don't know that we need to accept that from our mayoral candidate but there's nothing different really, about anthony wiener today than yesterday, in my estimation other than we find it out that a year after he resigned from congress or more than a year, he was still doing these things. cenk: i want to give a time line to everybody but i like what michael said. you know how people who are struggling with alcohol say i was sober for 18 months like anthony wiener saying i've been off twitter for 11 days n

michael steele was chairman of the rnc and is msnbc political analyst and mayor willie brown of san francisco joins me. mayor brown, thank you for joining us. let's look at the nra. it's out there already attacking the attorney general eric holder for what he said tuesday at the naacp convention. the attorney general took issue with stand your ground laws, that he said often result in violence. let's listen. >> separate and apart from the case that's drawn the nation's attention, it's time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of self-defense. >> these laws try to fix something that was never broken. there has always been a legal defense for using deadly force and -- and the "if" is important qush if no safe retreat is available, but we must examine laws that take this further by eliminating the common sense and age-old requirement that people who feel threatened have a duty to retreat outside their home if they can do so safely. we must stand our ground, to ensure that our laws reduce violence and take a hard look at laws that contribute to more violence that they prevent. >>>

michael dyson, rhyme grim, carrie brown, and fred forter. joining us now from new orleans is nicole lamereux from free and charitable clinics. i'll start with you. can you tell us how many people ho will be served at this free clinic on wednesday and what's the importance given we're 92 days out from obama care exchanges kicking in? >> we are expecting anywhere from 1,100 to 1,500 patients to show up with us in new orleans. so many people don't understand what the affordable care act means, what it means to them, how to get involved. in a state like louisiana that's not going to expand medicaid, we have patients who desperately need health care. it is going to be a very busy and important day. >> there are 15,000 uninsured patients who were treated at these clinics from the national association of free clinics since 2009. that's a rate of 900 to 1,400 a day. frank, you guys are the ones telling the president to snap out of it. what suggestions would you guys have since you are advising the president to get people to understand what's in the

michael. sampras's coach willie brown got involved in 1977 and the other strike. lot of it depends on what the timing of this is. essentially, push negotiations until about labor day and if they had reached an agreement by dan, that would have been an even greater economic then what may be occurring right now. right now it is going through a fourth of july holiday so some calculations going on just in terms of how accused consider the dates. i think there are going to be questions and as this drags on, more pressure is going to come upon officials to look to say what you doing and can you do something about this. you will see increasing pressure and on the mayor's. >>mark: could you make the argument that a non strike clause should be issued. >> that does bring up an interesting situation where you are seeing lately there's a very anti public employee mood out there. tight budgets and everything like that. if this drags on for more than a couple of weeks, he was are seeing people exploring an idea of a state law that talks about these kinds of issues. i would hope

>> john: new york mayor michael bloomberg race, schmace it turns out you brown people you don't get friskedjohn: somebody really doesn't want to be president. okay, let's unpack that statement. he said that may be, he says that. so black and brown people are disproportionately stop, but it isn't disproportionate enough. let's go to our esteemed panel dawn porter, director of "gideon's army" premieres at 9:00 eastern tonight on hbo. and tina due puy and jeannine brito. i would like to talk with you fine ladies about stop and frisk in new york, i'm white so i don't deal with this. but i've never met a black weed dealer, and never never getting stopped and frisked. what is mayor bloomberg talking about? >> you know, it's hard to understand what he's talking about. this convoluteed defense of policy where we know that nine out of ten people who are stopped are not charged with anything. so how he defends this policy, the last i checked i was a new yorker too, it would be nice to think that i could walk down the street without being frisked. >> cenk: not that he's cynical but he's suggesting tha

brown: all right. jeffrey smith, michael ratner, thank you both very much. >> thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> ifill: we turn to changes in how we think about cancer, and how we choose to treat it. it comes from a panel of doctors advising the national cancer institute. in a paper in the journal of the american medical association, the doctors recommended changing the very definition of what's often seen as the earliest signs of cancer. for example, a diagnosis of noninvasive abnormal cells in the breast would be renamed so that the words "cancer" or "carcinoma" are not part of the description. the idea is to avoid unnecessary treatment. the recommendations were published on the same day another medical panel recommended annual catscans for people at higher risk of developing lung cancer. for more on these findings, we turn to dr. barnett kramer of the national cancer institute. and dr. larry norton of the memorial sloan kettering cancer center. welcome to you both, gentlemen. why change definitions, dr. cramer? >> the meeting that you mentioned achieved a strong consensus. i should point out
