among those who are in the film, michelle alexander, angela davis on the common rights for music.alkia cyril of the center for media justice and kevin gannon of grand to university in iowa. i started by asking malkia cyril what she wanted the film to convey. >> my biggest hope is that people understand two things. one that slavery has already been amended once, let's not do it again. as we get all of this technology pouring into the hanands of pole officers, , electronic monitori, aerial surveillance over baltimorore, it is critical that we don't repeat the mistakes that have happened in the past and turn our communities into open-air pririsons, even as we decarcererate the facilities themselvlves. i wawant people to walk away wih the knowledge that this country was built on the bones, the work, the labor, the lives of black bodies. it continues to profit from that exploited labor. we continue toto profit from ths system that t we call white supremacy that we don't want to accept word knowledge. and that system is going to come to an enend. amy: professor gannon,n, this trajectory

i think things to movies like the 13th, thanks to the scholarly work of michelle alexander-- excuse me brian stevenson and 70 others were able to understand how incarceration has become a key part of the development of an unequal system, a system that's based on any quality for all. the idea is simple, that if we can figure out-- rather than figuring out places to be able to employ people to able to educate people anyway that frees them, but instead we went to relegate people to educational system in a criminal justice system that will lock them away. so, again, this question that we see, that happy rainbow picture of a hospital is sort of the counter image, the image that is sort of out there of schools that are not teaching, of society that's hell-bent on incarceration of young people of color. i think that what we have to do is as we are reaching a point where we are thinking about trying to turn this ship around, we have to be about to take all those kinds of things into consideration, that it's about the car's ration, absolutely. but, it's also about the escalating policing, d mil

the guardian in its review called it a kind of a prequel or a prehistory to some of the work michelle alexander has done in her groundbreaking "the new jim crow," and i really take that as a compliment. it's a product of a labor of love and the white house central files of the kennedy/johnson/nixon/ford/cartr administrations, and when i began this project a decade ago, i had to make the case as to why we need to study crime control policy to really kind of understand the developments that happened in the aftermath of the civil rights movement. and now especially in the past two years, these issues are kind of at the forefront of national conversations and discussions and really at center of at least from a democratic side the current political campaign. so i think that even the fact that you're all here to hear about this topic really shows that we've come over the course of the time that i've done this research to a new kind of moment of where we are in terms of coming to terms with these issues and the consequences of the policy decisions made over the past half century in this country. so th

there's been a talk about her alexandering the map potential sending michelle obama to arizona.that the right move, or do you work that the campaign is counting their chickens before they're hatched, if you will? >> think there's a great of -- and the democratic campaigns in the key swing states. that makes it possible to the clinton campaign to expand the map. where we also have promises democratic candidates for the senate. i think it's a good things that the missteps, the ways in which he's democrat traited he's simply not qualified to be president, have extended the map. >> senator chris cans, thank you for join us us. >>> on that topic, one deep red states, georgia, now once considered a gimme state for the gop, the first day of early voting. we're going to check in with some of georgia's voters at the polls today. stay with us. sthoo. >>> did you know we're in the final stretch to the election? you probably did. hillary clinton and donald trump are each focusing on some of these key battleground states. right now we have this swing state shocker, a new online poll from you

hillary clinton and michelle bomb next ho obama next hour. we have peter alexander, andrea mitchell and kasie hunt. peter, let's talk about where you are in springfield. how hard do you think donald trump is going after hillary clinton over the e-mails? i wouldn't be surprised if we heard about obamacare, too? >> reporter: you're right. he's going to try to hit on this wikileaks today and across the state. it's a point he's already been making on his favorite megaphone, twitter, while tweeting out a link to this article about bill clinton, inc., as described in this 2011 memo by a long-time aide to the former president. he says it demonstrate this is intersection of the charity and personal income for the clintons. his campaign manager kellyanne conway making a simple point on twitter saying while the clinton foundation has done some good things, the best things were for bill clinton himself. while trump will go after wikileaks, and while it certainly appears unseemly the way bill clinton may have made money off the clinton foundation, there was still no evidence th

alexander in washington. let's start with what you heard from michelle obama. do you think donald trump is going to respond directly to her in the speech she's about to give at any moment? >> well, i'm doubtful he responds directly to michelle obama on this. in florida just a short time ago he was at a business roundtable, meeting with some guests there. a reporter in the room, part of the pool, as it's described, asked donald trump if he had ever done any of this unwanted or inappropriate touching, sexually assaulted a woman, groped them without consent. he didn't answer. he sort of sighed in disgust and referred to that reporter as a sleezebag, according to reporters in the room right now in florida. the pushback has been fierce. i doubt he'll push back specifically on michelle obama. i think they want to do the opposite, push forward in their attacks against hillary clinton herself. so, let's break down, if we can, where these allegations stand right now. as you see donald trump arriving there. the most recent from the "new york times" this morning, two wome

trump on the campaign trail with michelle obama growing emotional over the latest accusations against the republican nominee. nbc national correspondent peter alexander with that side of the story this morning. peter, good morning. >> reporter: hey, savannah. good morning. they may be two of the most effective speakers in all of politics right now, the president and first lady. michelle obama warning voters in to him only as "hillary clinton's opponent." president obama tang republans to task for their rolen the rise of trump. from the first couple, a powerful one-two punch aimed at donald trump. >> you've got somebody who each and every day, every time he talks, proves himself unfit and unqualified for this office. >> reporter: president obama in ohio tearing into republicans, blaming them for standing by as trump took over the party. >> if your only agendaei negative -- negative is a euphemism -- crazy, based on lies, based on hoaxes, this is the nominee you get. >> reporter: first lady michelle obama equally passionate in new hampshire. >> it has shak me to my core in a way that i couldn't have predicted. >> reporter: expressing outrage about trum

michelle obama has carved out a unique role in the campaign starting with the convention in philadelphia. now certainly this is her sixth appearance, peter alexander. they have been on college campuses. she's reaching out to millennials in a way hillary clinton has not. i spoke to a long-time democratic elected official in new hampshire after the event was there. this is not moving the trump base at all. it is reaching out to the appeals of michelle obama. >> if they are competing on the trump side which made the assessment if we depress the vote perhaps we can win. this is in the low 40s. then all of the sudden donald trump makes it viable. what she's doing is energizing, animating the democratic base, getting independence in suburban women to feel a new sense of reason that they should be invested in the campaign cycle. i spoke to folks close to michelle obama yesterday who said this is a speech she's wanted to give for several weeks. she didn't identify any of the allegations against donald trump. she did speak specifically to his recent comments broadcast by "access hollywood." it demonstrated the passion. president obama worth noting, new pol
