Nation. We begin with breaking news South Carolinas republican governor calling to remove the Confederate Flag from the state house grounds. For many people in our state, the flag stands for to digss that are noble, traditions of history, heritage and ancestry. The for many others in South Carolina, the flag is a deeply offensive symbol of a brutally oppressive past. Today we are here in a moment of unity in our state without ill will to say its time to move the flag from the capital grounds. [ applause ] governor hailey says she wants the legislator to act on taking the flag down this summer. This comes less than a week after the brutal racist massacre at the mother Emanuel Church. This photos surfaced showing the accused gunman posing with Confederate Flags. Its a symbol of racism and hate. The same symbol we saw a tea party protester waving outside the white house in 2013. There is no place for this in our politics, and today, some of South Carolinas top officials agreed. Msnbcs greg melvin is live in colombia South Carolina. How does the governors, how did the governors announcement, how was it received there on the ground of South Carolina . Reporter you know rev, i have yet to talk to a person so far whose opposed to the decision that was announced today. I was in the ratunda when that was played. There was at least five or six occasions where people who were in that room applauded. One of the things that may have gotten lost in all of this for folks not familiar with South Carolina politics the sheer optics of what we saw. We saw the republican governor two republican senators along with the assistant democratic leader and at the end there, you saw the son of the late senator therman, a wellknown segregationest at one point. Im from colombia and my 30 plus years of living, ive never seen that kind of bipartisan presentation in the dome behind me. This is state and capital that has long been known for its political polarization, but today not so much. Here is the thing lets be clear, craig, a lot of this is in reaction to this massacre and the outpouring of outrage all over the country. Ive been going to South Carolina for years, spend a lot of time there when i ran for president. These very same people that stood today including governor hailey had a much different position not too long ago. Reporter you beat me to it. Not just governor hailey you talk to lindsey gram you talk to a lot of republican officials in the room today. You talk to them six months ago, they were singing a wildly different tune. The governor called for the senate and house the to come back. Ive spoken with a number of state lawmakers that said this is not a done deal. Right. You would think they would have had the votes counted before todays announcement. Apparently not so much. The this is still, this is still something that has to be approved by a super majority. Were talking twothirds of the General Assembly in South Carolina. May not be done this session, so we got a nice announcement. We picked up big support but those of us this is by no means a done deal. Thank you msnbcs craig melvin thank you for your reporting tonight. In the moment since governor hailey haileys announcement, weve seen a flood of republican president ial candidates trying to avoid getting caught on the wrong side of the issue. Mitt romney tweeted take down the Confederate Flag at the South Carolina capital. To many its a symbol of racial hatred. Remove it now to honor charlestons victims but none of the big names in the gop field did 2016 feel that is, none of them echoed the statement and only coming out now that youve gotten political cover from governor hailey. Jeb bush just tweeted kudos to nikki haley and all those standing with her to do the same thing but over the weekend he said South Carolina should do the right thing but wouldnt say what that was and last week he wouldnt say the charleston attack was about race we have to go on these issues. Using some blunt language. The legacy of savory jim crow discrimination in almost every institution of our lives. That cast a long shadow and thats still part of our dna. Thats passed on. Were not cured of it. Racism. Racism were not cured of. Clearly. And its not just a matter of it not being poll litite to say [ bleep ] in public. Thats not the measure of whether ris says macism exists or not. Its not just discrimination. Societies dont overnight completely erase everything that happened two to 300 years prior. Racism and discrimination still exist, and if you pretend they dont, it shows in your policies. Look at poverty. Look at education. Criminal Justice Reform. Health care, Voting Rights, these issues all impacted by race all disproportionally, negatively impact the african american, then the Latino Community and those of us that raise it are not being divisive are not polarizing. Those that wont deal with an unfair structural gap, they are the ones being polarizing, they are the ones being extreme in trying to pull the country apart because to pull the together tonight, you must have fairness you must have equal opportunity and equal protection under the law. Lets talk about it. Let me go over we have tonight, let me walk over to our guest, jamil buoy and joan walsh. Great to have you with us. Thanks rev. Thank you. Joan lots of republicans try to dance. I mean literally dance. Literally. Dance around the flag issue. Around the issue of race. I mean let me show you. For those of us running for president , everyone is being baited with this question with somehow that has anything to do whatsoever with running for president and my position is it most certainly does not. I would say that these are decisions that should be made by people. I dont think the federal government or federal candidate should be making decisions on everything and opining on everything this is a decision that needs to be made here in South Carolina. So you have one candidate saying a Confederate Flag hanging in front of a state building that gets federal money and you have people that are paying federal and state taxes has nothing to do with being president. None of our business. None of us business even though its public money and another one, his answer is states rights let the states handle it. These guys had no problem weighing in on indianas socalled religious freedom law. They weigh in right and left on local, womens rights and all 50 states. They weigh in constantly on the things they are based, they believe their base cares about, rev. Its so outrageous that the republican that took a stand, mitt romney is a republican not running for president. He did not take the step in South Carolina last time. Jamel, your reaction to the dancing of the republican candidates this weekend. Well, like joan said its funny to watch candidates going to weigh in to a whole host of things and i should say if either of them were president , they would be asked to weigh in on things like this. This is very much, the question is very much part of being president of the United States running for president of the United States. Ill say real quickly in romneys defense, in 2007 he did actually speak out against the Confederate Flag. He didnt say anything last time around but sort of its been in the history to a pose the flying of the flag over the state house. He has taken the position but did not campaign on it and certainly didnt say it during the South Carolina primary last time but he has said it earlier. Jamil is absolutely correct. Talking about saying it earlier, i must give credit. Dr. Ben wrote an op criticizing his colleagues in the Republican Party for not calling what happened in South Carolina racism and when we know find out that the and let we show some of that there are people claiming they could lead this country who dare not call this tragedy an act of racism a hate crime for fear of offending a particular segment of the electric. We have to face the facts. I dont agree with dr. Him but that was right on as we would say and we find out a white supremeacistsupremacist, who is the leader quoted by the sheeter had actually donated to republicans. They are not keeping the money, but he had donated 65,000 of Republican Campaign funds. Including mia love. I mean this is very deep reverend al and this party has sadly been too often trying to play at the edges of racism and racial hate. They know there is a segment of the base. Not the majority but there is a strong vocal segment that does harbor racist attitude. I want to the applaud what nikki haley did and it was a beautiful sign of unity as craig melvin said but i want to say this is a weird event that is at the same time long over due and yet, it happened shockingly fast today and it really shouldnt have taken this horrible mass massacre. We didnt need martyrs to learn this is a sign of hate and there was selfcongratulations in the performance that bugged me. There was a little smiling. We are burying nine people who died because of racism. It was not a happy day. Nine people that died because of racism by in my opinion, a domestic terrorist act, and it takes that and not only shouldnt take that to get them to say the flag should come down, it cant end with just a flag coming down because you cant remove something that shouldnt have been there in terms of optics and not deal with the policies. Thats why i talked about dealing with the poverty and the criminal Justice System and all of these things. You cant just take the flag down and say, oh we did that in inryin memory of them. Lets move on with business as usual. You cant just take down the flag. You have to think in terms of policies and both places where there is possibilities for bipartisan cooperation and criminal Justice Reform but the Republican Party needs to the look in the mirror and think about policies on things like Voting Rights. On things like voter id that it is unusual, not unusual, its weird to watch a party congratulate itself about taking down the Confederate Flag but enter the same breathe so to speak, support of the restrictive voter id laws which we know for a fact harm the ability of minorities and African Americans in particular to vote and i would love to see republican candidates speak out against those laws but the fact of the matter is were not going to see that and that is i think deeply disappointing. That is why i think people have to continue being active that is why those of us who have public platforms or positions have to raise the issue because those are the civil rights issues, those are the human rights issues of today joan. Right. Voting poverty, income inequality, wealth gap based on race, education based on race. To stand around and congratulations yourself for taking down a flag over 150 years after the civil war is nothing to pat yourself on the back about. Exactly. They lost the civil war. A long time ago. Or did they get the email . Joan walsh and jamel buoy thank you for your time tonight. Thank you. Thanks rev. Breaking news ahead, police find dna, boots and bloody socks from the killers who escaped from the new york prison. Are Police Closing in . This is a conif i recallfirmed lead. Its generated a massive Law Enforcement response and well run this to ground. Also think Hillary Clinton would be hurt by supporting the president . Think again.

Tonight, search teams may be finally closing in as they track dna clues. The two convicts have been spotted at a location just 20 miles away from the prison. Details, coming up. Bring us your aching. And sleep deprived. Bring us those who want to feel well rested and ready to enjoy the morning ahead. Aleve pm. The first to combine a sleep aid. Plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve.

Breaking news in the search for two of the fbis most wanted criminals. There is evidence they were recently in a cabin just 20 miles north of that prison they escaped from. Nbc news Learned Police found n dna from both prisoners. Reporting boots, bloody socks, and toiletries were found, along with a water jug and a jar of Peanut Butter that had been opened at the hunting camp and the New York Times reports a pair of prisonissued underwear was also found in the cabin. We have evidence the suspects may have spent time in a cabin in this area. We have recovered specific items in the cabin and afforded them to the appropriate laboratories. Its a confirmed lead and has a massive Law Enforcement response as you can see and well run this to ground. Joining me now is retired atf special agent in charge jim. Thanks for being here. Thank you. How important are these discoveries in the cabin, jim . Reverend al this is a big discovery because its so certain. They have seen the prison underwear, the items and matched the dna to both mean. This is a strong lead. They are on their heels. These guys are on foot. They have no help. I think they will have them rounded up here in the next few days. Now, here is another twister thats come up jim, because today the editor of the plats burg press said the hunting camp where the intrusion took place is owned by a group of correction officers. What do you make of that rev revelation revelation, jim . That talk is all over the prison. When youre inside a detention facility or jail, everything thats said goes around and around and around and Everybody Knows everything. You know we all worked at buildings, at places and companies and organizations and we know how information travels. When you take that into a prison you can magnify that about 10,000 times. So if one correction officer says to another, you know ive got that old cabin up by the lake yeah im not going to go back up until august or use it in the fall or whatever thanks goes right around. One trustee sweeping the floor, every inmate will know that soon. So that information that owned by a correction officer tells me that somehow it got to matt and sweat. May not necessarily be got to them criminally doesnt mean a correction officer necessarily helped them that could be but it could be just talk and rumor in the prison. So it could be the way. Now the bloody sock could it be one of them was injured . I think thats absolutely true. The woods are very, very treacherous of people that dont travel in the woods. If youre traveling or running in the woods and especially at night trying to get away from someone, you have a great chance of being injured. You fall cut your ankle on a rock, ledge, so you know desperate fugitives will do desperate things but desperate wounded fugitives, you know they will do desperate and stupid things. These guys are at a point to do something if they are on food in the woods with a time after them so high time for a crime so Everybody Needs to be on their toes. These guys will have to do what we talked about, back to just getting out of the manhole with all the officers on their heels, they will try to carjack somebody, get a vehicle, hurt somebody to get away. They likely got there on foot and able to last for awhile but it will come to the ahead soon because they cant travel fast on food if wounded and hungry and tired. We Learned Police have been questioning another correction officer from the prison, jeangene pal mer. He worked there for 28 years and had routine access to the prison shop where sweat and matt worked and received a painting from richard matt. Hes been put on administrative leave from the prison. Jim, his Attorney Says he didnt know anything about the escape plans but could there have been someone else on the inside helping these guys break out . Well its possible certainly, rev but it doesnt necessarily mean its the this officer, either. Remember matt and sweat could have been working the officers and thats where, you know maybe he has some relation or friend to who owns the cabin or knows the cabin is up there and giving him paintings, trying to give him information. That doesnt mean hes a conspirator. The District Attorney has not charged him, hes just under administrative leave. Right now hes a witness for the state and they will have to decide what exactly his role was there, his Attorney Says hes cooperating. The fact hes not charged leads me to believe they dont have direct serious information he has, you know helped them at this point. So it may just be that there is some and maybe its his cabin or he got a painting from matt. So there is questions to be answered but the outcome is yet to be determined. Thank you for your time tonight. Thanks reverend al. Coming up breaking news on 2016, were moments away from the new nbc news poll what it says about Hillary Clinton, the gop, and the obama effect.

Its a Pivotal Moment and putting pressure on the gop president ial candidates to explain the their own records on health care. It was former Texas Governor rick perrys turn at the plate this weekend. Looking out for the little guy when 21 of texans didnt have Health Insurance . How you keep score is how many people you force to buy insurance, well then i would say that thats how you keep score. Thats not how we but the flip side how many people dont have Health Insurance. Let me explain what we do in texas and this is a state by state decision. We make access to health care the real issue. Huh . If access to health care is the real issue isnt the number of People Accessing Health care and getting coverage exactly how texas should keep score . As the governor for 14 years dont you feel some responsibility when 2 1 of the people in your state didnt have Health Insurance. Thats not how we keep score. Access to health care is about insurance. Its time to look at perrys score card as time as governor. 5. 7 texans lacked insurance, the highest uninsured rate in the country. Nearly 1 Million People fell into the coverage gap because governor perry refused to expand medicaid and over 800,000 people are at risk of losing insurance if the Supreme Court rules against health care subsides. Because perry didnt create a state exchange. Did rick perry think we wouldnt notice his losing score on health care . Nice try. But here is my score for him. We got ya.

Cheer [ cheers ] so far in her campaign Hillary Clinton is praising president barack obama and the issues he holds dear and tonight we have breaking news. Its working. Critics from the right say the more she embraces the president s progressive ideas, the worse shell fair. Ideas like raising the minimum wage expanding Voting Rights and reforming our immigration laws but brandnew numbers from an nbc news wall street journal poll show the critics are flat wrong. When you look at the new poll Hillary Clinton versus the presumed front runner jeb bush, 48 40 in a headtohead matchup. Lets keep going. Hillary clinton versus the senator marco rubio. 50 40 in a heads up matchup. Lets keep going. Hillary clinton versus scott walker, who governor of wisconsin in a headtohead matchup. 51 37 , and when we look at the last figures that we releasing tonight, we find that the candidates themselves the republicans, i wanted to go a few graphs down 22 for jeb bush 17 for the scott, Governor Scott walker and 14 for senator rubio. Now, when you look at this the top contender can only get 22 , that is not exactly a mandate from his party. But lets talk about it. With tara and ryan grim. Thank you both for being here tonight. Thank you. Thank you, re reverend. Its up eight points now we see all of the predictions, ryan, that if mrs. Clinton identify with president obama would hurt her, has not hurt her at all. We just released a brandnew nbc poll. What does this tell you . The president s Approval Rating you know has gone up in coincidence with him taking more action from the white house, whether Climate Change orr im immigration order. The more he dealt with the base and satisfied those particular concerns, the stronger the entire country has rallied around him as youve often said progressive ideas are actually not that. Youll find 50 support. So hilary picking up some of these ideas clearly, is going to pick up a lot of that strength and what shes saying is this will be a base election and im not going to have some kind of Sister Soldier moment where i attack democrats but instead Hillary Clinton and democrats together will go into election day. And it has not hurt her, tara. Shes openly embraced some of president obama issues some to positions, said bold things a lot of us are still watching to see and shes actually in the polls, shes been helped by it. Right and lets look at what is telling Hillary Clinton to distance herself from the president. Its republicans. Why on earth would any democratic politic take advice from republicans how to run a campaign . Makes zero sense. The bottom line as ryan pointed out, progressive policies particularly economic policies are popular. The minimum wage paid sick leave, these are things president obama has championed throughout his term and advertise tenure and when he champion the them he laid them out following every state of the union address. We saw massive support for the policies that this president has laid out. So why would she take advice from republicans . Makes sense to me. Ryan you know jeb bush who is at this point the front runner he sounds a lot like the last republican nominee. Listen to this. Obamacare is a job killer. Obamacare is clearly a job killer. Do we want a european style government centric nation. The new normal is europeanstyle growth. The government is so intrusive that it can command free enterprise. The most complicated confusing intrusive regulatory system. It is wrong to make any change that would make america more of a nation of government dependency dependency. They built a spider web that traps people. So a little erie they sound so much alike but from a political strategist point of view or commentator, wouldnt you say you would not advice someone to sound like the guy that lost last time against the same policies . Not with this political alignment. Ironically sounds like mitt romney but its his brother, george bush that ushered in the current realignment, which was a major shift from the coalition that elected clinton. Obama solidified that and thats the precise one that Hillary Clinton is picking up and planning to run all the way into the white house with so when you have the numbers that youre facing, in other words as mitt romney said there is 47 with democrat, its actually a lot more than 47 , about 53 . The numbers, you know they just dont add up for this type of a strategy and sure maybe mitt romney didnt know that at the time and he gave it a good shot but for jeb bush to repeat the same strategy you know does call it into question a bit. Tara if the debates were today, here let me show you the ten candidates that would make the cut. The top ten. Now what is interesting about that is on the stage is everyone from jeb bush to carly. Here is the candidates who would not make the cut including john casey who is the governor of ohio where the debate would take place. [ laughter ] thats actually kind of funny. Of course these guys wouldnt make the cut. Is trump even really running . There is that. This looks like one Big Marketing opportunity for him. Hes not serious. I think the republican elect realize hes not serious and when you look at governor hes not been able to excite the base and lindsey gram same thing. Kasich, i think is interesting. You know obviously im on the democratic side but hes interesting because his economic policies and lindsey gram can be very provocative. Tara and ryan thank you for your time tonight. Thank you reverend. Ahead, the first lady takes control. First she sends out this vintage photo of barack obama with his daughters and it goes viral on fathers day. And now shes about to make even more news. She guest edits a leading womens magazine. Ill talk to the editor and chief, next. Theres a more enjoyable way to get your fiber.

Mmmmm, these are good nice work, phillips the tasty side of fiber, from phillips. Across america people, like Basketball Hall of Famer Dominique wilkins, are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes. With noninsulin victoza. For a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar but it didnt get me to my goal. So i asked my doctor about victoza. He said victoza works differently than pills and comes in a pen. Victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. Its taken once a day, any time. And the needle is thin. Victoza is not for weight loss but it may help you lose some weight. Victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. It is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. Victoza is not insulin. Do not take victoza if you have a personal or Family History of medullary Thyroid Cancer multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face lips, tongue or throat fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. Tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. Serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas pancreatitis which may be fatal. Stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back with or without vomiting. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. Taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. Some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. If your pill isnt giving you the control you need. Ask your doctor about noninsulin victoza. Its covered by most health plans. Kraft Barbecue Sauces new recipe starts with simple ingredients like sweet molasses. And now with cane sugar. All slowsimmered. So go ahead, make wings, ribs. Amazing. The first lady has been on magazine covers before but this comes with a big twist, Michelle Obama is guest editing the issue of more magazine. As an editor mrs. Obama had her hand in everything pitching and choosing articles for the issue. Its meaning is more impact and features some of her own initiatives like the lets move campaign to combat Childhood Obesity and work for children and military families. The first lady also sat down with meryl streep to talk about their families careers and mentors. Hi. How are you . Youve been busy. Thank you so much for doing the this. And the magazine gets personal with a photo album with mrs. Obamas favorite family snapshots. Its a rare and inside look at the first ladys private life and public goals. A look weve never quite had before. The issue hits the news stands tomorrow. Joining me now is leslie jane editor and chief of more magazine. Thank you for coming. Happy to be here. Having a first lady guest editor. Who prompted mrs. Obama to do this . Its crazy. Im so happy. I wanted to do something ive never done before and i approached her with the idea and shockingly, they said yes so its great. Wow. Now working with her, what surprised you . Whats the thing that stood out that surprised you about working with her . What is so amazing is first of all i traveled with her. I traveled chasing her. I wasnt on the plane, to japan and cambodia to launch let girls learn and worked with her in the white house for the shoot. We had most of the day working on the shoot so two interesting things one is when she travels, the world, like i got into a cab and cambodia and my cab driver is like oh my god, mrs. Obama is coming, were excited. There is a little pixy dust that goes along with her. There is something glammous. Shes got the brains the know how and the extra kind of package and then in the white house what was really interesting as we were going through her photos and talking about history and at the very end, i said you have to tell me how are you so grounded . You live in this place. You go through you know this incredible news cycle all the time. Shes just like shes just grounded right in there. She was so interesting. She said this place makes you more of whoever you are, and she is this shes just like grounded. She hasnt forgotten. Ive found her to be authentic. Very authentic. She loves, what is interesting is i never understood her craziness for kids. Im a mom and love kids too, and it was so interesting to understand as i followed her around to cambodia and saw her with the these young kids in cambodia who want to get to school and have to face all these impediments to get to school. One little girl had to get up at 4 00 in the morning and cows and put out the rice for the family and shell say to them and said it over and over but its kind of the through line is that she really sees herself in them. You know she said i was under estimated. Nobody thought much of me. Nobody thought i was going to go anymore. No one thought much of me. They were passing me over. And thats what is so interesting about her is she kept her humanity and shes kept her realness. And not with any bitterness or im going to get even but just to grow and to be that example. Why the interview with her and meryl streep . You say we got the first lady and who do you want to put her in a room with and hear her to talk about . Who has more in common with her of being an enormous celebrity, raising strong young girls, both of them have young, strong girls and creating balance in a life. How do you do that . Who are the two most interesting people you would want to be a fly on the wall with, meryl streep. She is a great person. One of the things having her as a guest article, the president wrote an article on how being president made him a better father. I was intrigued by that. Very cute. He also admitted not being the perfect dad quote i helped on my determines and on my schedule and the expectations and the burden disproportionally and unfairly fell on michelle as happens to many women. He was pretty candidate about his faults. Did that surprise you . Yes, i was very surprised by her candidness and his and i love that. Thats kind of who more is about. Its a lifestyle magazine and we have very inthe tell jenlt read er intelligent and cant put the bs level over them. Let me ask you a question leslie. With hilary on the ballot in 2016, will women have more impact on the elections . The last few elections women have been a turning point so i guess absolutely and i think this is a moment that a lot of women have been waiting for. So lets hope. Leslie jane thank you for your time tonight. Be sure to check out more magazine available on news stands tomorrow. Still to come honoring the beautiful nine big news about how the city of charleston is coming together. Its the Million Dollar question about the 10 bill. The Treasury Department is putting a woman on the 10, but who will it be . People are talking about hard yit tub man or Eleanor Roosevelt or civil rights activist rosa parks but thats just the start of the debate. Some believe a different bill should be overhauled. There had already been a separate push to replace Andrew Jackson on the 20 bill with a woman, and the guy currently on the 10 bill, Alexander Hamilton will stay remain on the bill in some capacity. So a woman is not getting her own bill at all . Shell be splitting it with Alexander Hamilton. This is the perfect embodyiment of the women rights movement. Women ask for something and men talk about it and they give the woman half and ask her to share it. Even a former chairman of the fed is speaking out. He writes replace Andrew Jackson a man of unattractive qualities and a poor president on the 20 bill. The debate is on but what we do know, change is coming and it is historic. Ctions.

This was the front page of sundays local paper, dedicated to all nine lives cut short by tragedy. At Emanuel Church hundreds gathered outside to mourn. The church overflowing with worshippers, inside more than 1,000 filled the pews coming together for the First Service since the shooting. The blood of the mother emanuel nine requires us to work until not only justice in this case but for those who are still living in the margin of life. Last night thousands of people took to the streets in the city forming a unity chain to remember those lost. The day was particularly hard in charleston because it wasnt only sunday it was also fathers day, a tragic fathers day for the victims families a day that some children went through without their dad, and some fathers went through without a son or daughter. Funerals for the victims are expected this week. President obama will deliver the eulogy for reverend pickney on friday. Being with some of the victims, i like many wrestled with trying to make sense out of this horrific tore rorerrorist attack to me. You cant make sense of it. My fear now is whether history will have a problem making sense on what we do in response to it.
