a cause for celebration. >> and i want to ask you to stick around because i do want to bring in tom perez, chairman of the national committee joining us again. chairman perez, thank you very much for being on. let's start with reaction to the win last night. cortez beating out joe crowley in what is considered an upset. >> she ran a fantastic campai and i think at the end of 2018 when you see remarkable results for democrats across the country, the role of women leading the charge will be a big part of the story of 2018. she was a fire brand. she talked about the issues that mattered most in their districts and i have great respect for joe crowley as well. he was one of the original supporters of medicare for all among the leadership in the democratic party. and she came forward in a remarkable fashion. and another example of the energy that we see across america. i think this is an exciting time for the movement and we see this all over the country. >> let's talk about that energy and what it means for the par as a whole. because i'm wondering if this victory signals to you a frustration

that's why i kept pushing tom perez about single payer.ther i do or don't like single payer. people simplify our debates that way. it's not what i like. it's what you can get done. single payer is expensive. the environmental shifts you're talking about near term, expensive. free college, expensive. what's the chance of getting them done? promise versus practicality. >> i wouldn't promise something unless it was possible. when i was health commissioner in detroit we did things outside the box. providing kids glasses and that was revenue neutral. this is about right ing the ship. we subsidize corporations to the tune of billions of dollars. we are the second biggest subsidizer in the country. we won't talk about paying a fair share. it is making sure those corporations pay a fair share. if we invest that money in schools, a 100% renewable energy infrastructure, invest it in health care, i bet we'd be a lot better off economically and certainly better off socially. that includes people like my uncle rick in the middle of the state and people

tom perez, co-chair of the democratic national committee, thank you so much.e. >>> all right, still ahead, more on the breaking news we're following. millions of people across the country taking to the streets to protest family separations at the southern border. we'll take you back out to many of those rallies. but first, a preview of the new cnn film, "american jail," which takes a hard look at whether mass incarcerations are justified or are a major injustice. take a look. >> in my hometown of easton, pennsylvania, nothing stood taller than the jail on the hill. every family had been touched by it. we all have tales of broken men in and out of lockup. i just assumed i would end up there too. how many of you know someone who's been in jail? >> everybody. >> wait a minute, you've been in jail? >> yes. >> if americans knew what was happening in prisons and jails, they'd demand change. >> it's inevitable to end up here. >> if the jails were filled with white kids from the suburbs and they were making those white kids work for no money, how long do you think tha

i think in the interview tom perez may have boiled it down to one concept. that is we the united states of america, not the divided states of america. and yet, over the past 17 months there has felt like a tremendous divide here. how much of the divide that people are feeling all across this country has to do around this issue of immigration? >> immigration has been an issue that has always divided us as a nation. when we go back to the alien and sedition acts, if we take that as an example. i think when we speak of immigrant families, that's a whole different ball game. when we're talking about families. when we're talking about mothers and children, and when i was listening to the interview with tom perez, i thought about barack obama's words many years ago. we're not red states or blue states. we're the united states of america. and the fact that we are seeing these marches all across the country, not just in los angeles and new york, your blue states but here in texas, here in austin. we're going to be having a massive rally in az arizona. when it comes

do you want to put keith ellison or tom perez or elizabeth warren? ed: they could have picked new leadership, younger leadership? i'm glad they didn't. now the message they are pushing is becoming more absurd by the day. i.c.e. picked up over 5,000 criminals that were gang members last year, and 29,000 criminals in the country. lou: not to mention the number of criminal aliens they released into our society under president obama. they are talking about open borders and ignoring the laws of this country and the consequences falling on everyday citizens. all of us deplorables in this country. the left has a lousy argument. i want to get your thoughts on this. this is what republicans will be arguing. particularly this president and those who are supporting him and republican party on capitol hill within the house or senate if they are wise. let's take a look at unemployment under president trump and see where that is. it's 3.8%. i'm going to just -- there it is. 3.8%. black unemployment under president trump, 5.%. women under trump, 3.3%. jobs created

i want to see what tom perez says.ing that on tonight. >>> more breaking news, the former copresident of fox news who resigned, has now accepted a senior position in the trump administration. more on that ahead. little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months, ... with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. tell your doctor if these occur. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. other side effects include upper respiratory tract infectio

are some among certain segments of the democratic parties that some diss truss of the dnc chair tom perezot of sanders supporters in particular see you as their guy, right, as their person to watch at the dnc to watch on behalf of sort of the snickers wing - between now and and foreseeable future to really focus on helping to build the democratic party. -- our commitment to run every race -- time -- not let any particular race go unfought for. we are committed to 24/7, every race, in every year. we are going to continue to do that. but that's going to be a long term project of it's going to take a whole lot of people. it's also going to take us here in minnesota to do our part. >> let me ask you about this controversy involving the dnc chair's endorsement of cuomo in new york. bernie sanders is unhappy about it. him py endorng folks not happy him. would that done in error? was that a mistake, something that you regret happened? >> it was a decision based on a long term relationship that he had with those individuals. our main policy, our default policy still to not get lved primaries for

interesting because he is seen as a more progressive idate to the left of like the dnc chairman tom perezdeputy dnc chair, so it is fascinating to the primaries last night. shery: he was a big accor of bernie sanders. we know one of his campaign workers got elected in new york. tell us about that. kevin: this is a massive upset, a 10 year incumbent candidate, joe crowley, who was seen as a successor to nancy pelosi, being defeated by a 28-year-old self-described democratic socialist, congresswoman elect now. she activated the base and labor base in the bronx and was ab to do that. i a ellison what he made of that. he said it was a get out the vote activist. shery: kevin cirilli, thank you. and president trump now speaking at the face-to-face with our future events. he is talking about space. this is bloomberg. ♪ this is bloomberg. ♪ what's a gig of data? well, it's a whole day's worth of love songs. 300 minutes aby vide or, it's a million chat mess. a gig goes a long way. that's why xfinity mobile lets you pay for data one gig at a time. and with millions of wifi hotspots included, you'll

tom perez blasted the effort saying "these republican proposals aren't to provide relief for dreamersthey're for massive deportation and stoke fears in communities." mike pence responded when he spoke at the national hispanic prayer breakfast. >> despite what you've heard, the democrats just don't want to make a deal. they don't want to security our border. they don't want to close loop holes. they don't want to close the loop holes that serve as a magnet drawing vulnerable families to our certain border and they don't want to solve daca. in fact, the dacas have abandoned daca. >> strong words. >> it doesn't seem as though republicans haven't figured it out yesterday. you have coalitions within the republican party and they have vastly different ideas on what immigration polly should be. so what do we do? >> that's right. it's one of our biggest problems. the immigration system is not as broken as it appears but the way it's executed and implemented it's broken. this is something the left and the right and the democrats and republicans should come together on. the president has taken

and tom perez, the head of the dnc has sought to diminish the influence of members of congress who has been superdelegates. members of the house and senate feel like they'll be cut of the process and won't have the special sway they've had in the past. so this is something we should really keep an eye on even though we are two years away from the convention. candidates are going to be out there doing their thing pretty soon. they're going to want to meet with important delegates, especially superdelegates. that's something we need to keep an eye on as we get closer to the 2020 campaign. >> thank you for the update on that breaking news. we don't have a location for the dnc convention. i can tell you the 2020 olympics are in tokyo. >>> scott pruitt, football tickets. also an attempt to get his daughter an internship at the white house. with more calls for proout to accept -- pruitt to step down, the president rushed to his defense. the smart ones look to fidelity to find them. we give you research and data-visualization tools to help identify potential opportunities. so, you can do it t

further and turned to the audience after a 12-minute answer to a first question posed by dnc chair tom perezing. this is a mope-free zone. it seemed look a casual, more laid back barack obama, but he had a distinct message he wanted to get out to democrats, and that was we can't just complain, we actually have to do something about it. >> the timing can't be ignored here. this was a planned fund-raiser, but this also comes less than 48 hours after we learned that president trump will get to name a second supreme court justice. one of the most critical things any president can do and choices they can make. did you get a sense that president obama feels even more urgency now given that? >> i did not get that sense. in the first question perez posed, he asked about the last week and mentioned the supreme court opening and president obama didn't take the bait, didn't mention the supreme court in his answer which i said was about 12 minutes long. so plenty of time to answer, he just ignored it and didn't weigh in, which was striking because it was something that he clearly would have weighed in o

we saw tom perez, head of the democratic national committee, out here.arly this is something that democrats see as an issue for the midterm elections, and they hope to capitalize on it. it is a broad mix of people here in brownsville. >> miguel marquez, thank you. >>> i want to remind viewers that at last check, this administration had only reunited six children with their parents. out of the more than 2,000 children who had been separated from their parents prior to the president's executive order. i want to take you now to capitol hill where protesters are also demanding action. we have more, now, what is their message? >> reporter: i have to tell you, i'm here in the hart senate office building. this is a building within the capitol complex that houses a lot of the senators' offices, personal offices. you see this rather large crowd behind me now. they are chanting, if you cannot hear them, "we care, we care," an obviously rolling of melania trump's jacket from when she traveled to the border to see one of these centers last week. they have unfurled b

i had a conversation with the chairman of the democratic national committee this morning, tom perez and we talked about the supreme court rulings and what is next as it related to the ruling that came out today. he said democrats have to get out and vote. that's next. i think there is already a sense inside the democratic party that this does need to become a mobilization messaging piece for them. >> right. >> as it is on the gop side as well. >> chris matthews, to that point, that's why mitch mcconnell is not interested in having this vote any time after the beginning of november, right. >> right. >> he needs this conquickly because if liberals realize that possibly -- maybe i'm overstating the case, if liberals realize that possibly abortion rights, gay rights are on the table, thises the last stand for 40 years, maybe. >> i have not been a person scaring people about abortion rights being taken away from them. but now once you lose kennedy you have lost that sort of moral force at the center and it's gone. the guy who did vote for the lawrence decision, voted for marriage equality, t

all of us people who work and aboute contractors, think tom perez. when i saw him being the democrat, i just gave up on the democratic party. host: as we noted earlier, yesterday justice kennedy informed president trump that he will be stepping down at the end of july, 30 years and seven months after his nomination to the supreme court. in today's op-ed pages of "the washington post," a professor at harvard law clerked for justice kennedy, talking about those months in 1987 leading up to kennedy's nomination. --nnedy made as to the hyatt made it to the highest court of when the reagan administration look for a safer voice. it turns to the soft-spoken, bookish californian who ran his father's law practice and taught constitutional law before becoming a respected appellate judge on the u.s. court of appeals for the ninth circuit. the senate confirmed kennedy 97-0 on february 3, 1988." there is a story from "the new york times" back in 1987, talking about him start -- talking about ginsberg withdrawing his name as a clamor, citing marijuana . he acted a
