i kept thinking about latisia, tonight, rachel. but, rachel, thank you for bringing it up. it all boils down to human beings. and what are we as a country? do we not care about human beings? these are children born in the united states. families separated. and that is going to change for 5 million people in short ordered. >> when we see presidents change the way the law is enforced, in the past, that's happened two times. in the administrations of george h.w. bush and reagan. they were about keeping families together. they acknowledged that the legal enforcement were tearing people apart. shouldn't this be seen as inline with those previous examples? >> yes, but to be clear, rachel, they actually went towards amnesty. this is something that the president said isn't possible and he doesn't think his executive orders will be able to go towards anything that can be considered. >> but the fact is, this is a very limited program. sure, it's 5 million people. but it's about 41% of the undocumented population of the united states, which is about the same percentage, i should say,

dude, yes. >> thank you. >> rachel, here's jack. >> hi, jack, nice to meet you. >> rachel, i'm honoredkup band? >> it's kind of like pickup baseball but musicians. a bunch of musicians in a room you've never met before. you jam for a while. at the end of it you make a band. you play shows together after 30 days you disband and do it all over again. >> at 30 days, what if you love each other too much to let go. >> i love you already and i love your life. so what we're going to do here is it's not very complicated idea, but i understand you wanted the questions to be difficult, and so we're taking no mercy here. if you get two or more of them right, you win a thing. what will jack win? >> jack will win this lovely cocktail shaker, not available in stores. >> and also very tiny. no danger. jack, we also need to bring in the disembodied voice of steve bennan, the guy who will determine whether or not you got a right answer. jack meet steve, steve meet jack. >> good evening, jack. >> steve, thank you. honored. >> okay. ready for your first question? >> i'm more than ready. >> it comes from

almost. >> reporter: rachel's mum said the high school was unprepared to handle the incident. and made mistakes from the moment rachel reported the assault. >> she went to the teacher on the day it happened. there was semen on her shirt, and told him, "i have been raped." he said "go confront your attacker." >> reporter: it wasn't until rachel told another teacher two days later, that the campus handed it over to the police, who concluded 24 hours later that the case was consensual. >> i was pissed. i was shocked and angry. >> reporter: in a move that shocked rachel and her family, the school punished her for public ludeness and forced her to attend this school along with her attacker. title 9 requires schools conduct investigations promptly and effectively regardless of police involvement. and schools must protect, not punish or retaliate against students. in june 2012, the department of education's office of still rights pushed the high school in a new direction when it found the school violated title 9 and drew up a 13-point plan to bring it into line. we asked administrato

talk about the american dream, rachel? this is 5 million people. i was with the president in las vegas the 29th of january in 2013, which, by the way, rachel, the president is going back to tomorrow to that same school. and then on the day after that, on the 30th of january, 2013, i interviewed the president. and i asked him about latisia. a mother i met at that speech in las vegas. and she told me i wish i could have told him this. i have u.s.-born children. and i was deported from the united states. i left my children here. and one of them was molested. so i have come back knowing that my fate has probably sealed, but a mother's responsibility is far stronger than laws when my children were born here. ask the president if he can do for me what he did for the dreamers. i kept thinking about latisia, tonight, rachel. all things are limited. it's a short program and for three years. but, rachel, thank you for bringing it up. it all boils down to human beings. and what are we as a country? do we not care about human beings? these are children born in

joining me here in new york is the one and only rachel maddow, host of the rachel maddow show and anchorthews. the money being spent here is not just that it's money and we don't know where it's coming from, a lot of it is not candidate money, but independent money. it's all coordinated behind the scenes. it suffocates individual expression and that you have a say. >> 100,000 ads. what's the diminishing utility? the marginal utility of each ad? all you are doing is -- i think we talk a lot about people getting disgust and exhausted by the amount of them, but what's important is that you squeeze out the opportunity for other people with less money to participate or people with no money to get into the conversation. you end up essentially exhausting the opportunity for anybody ems to get in. literally every ad in the state is bought. i think that's tough in terms of people feeling cynical about whether or not they are getting real information about the candidates. >> it's such a tune out for people who might otherwise be interested. it makes people feel less connected to the voting process

>> rachel, it's a bittersweet moment. i'm a little bit in tears right now because i was able to call my dad and my mom that based on the criteria that has been shared, they will be protected from deportation. that has been a big victory for my family in sharing their stories and putting the pressure on the president to make this announcement today. and e aat the same time, as you saw, we had many families in our offices today. and many of them will now be able to qualify and to get pr s protection from deportation. it breaks myhearted because it's many people that i know and that i love. but the message is clear to us. this is a victory that we will own. we made this happen. our e our community has made this happen. we will now have protection and be able to live in this country without fear and dignity. >> where does this movement go from here? this was a huge victory. and i agreep with you. it is a victory that has been brought about by your act vichl. what's the next stitch step? >> chris, as it's clear, our work doesn
