We might have heard more from Amy Klobuchar tonight than in the debate because there are so many people up there. Everybody is going to try to maximize their word count. Then all the interruptions and all of that. Julian castro will join us in this hour. He might just get more time here than at the debate, but its fascinating to see even with the constraints that Julian Castro and others have been able to have their moment and the spot where they pop in the debates and the pressure is all the greater. Even with just the first debate, we have already seen the impact that that debate can have on the fortunes of individual candidates. The stakes couldnt be higher. Two weeks away. Thank you, rachel. President ial candidate Julian Castro will join us tonight. This week he has given the strongest and clearest statement ever made by a president ial candidate about police use of force. Now, i have been write being this subject since the 1980s called deadly force. I can tell you that most president ial candidates in our history have never mentioned the subject. Including most modern president ial candidates. Julian castro does not have much competition for the strongest statement ever made by a president ial candidate, but he has done that and delivered that. He delivered it about the eric garner case in new york city. He will be on the debate stage with the mayor of new york city who has ultimate jurisdiction over the eric garner case and what happens to the Police Officer in that case. We will discuss that with Julian Castro at the end of this hour tonight. We will get his reaction to President Trump today pretending that he disagreed with his rally crowd last night chanting send her back. Julian castro will be on that debate stage in two weeks with joe biden and Kamala Harris and seven other president ial candidates. It will be a difficult stage for all of those candidates, Julian Castro performed strongly in the first round and will surely be in the thick of it the second time around. Julian castro made his National Television debut as a possible president ial candidate on this program when he announced he was exploring a president ial run and we are glad to welcome him back tonight. We begin tonight with what the president did today. What the president did today is news, but it is not new. It is not new to see the president lying. Provably lying as he did today. The president lied knowing everywhere except fox propaganda channel we would be showing you the video that proves the president was lying to america today. That is not new. He has done that before. What is new is the president finding fault with his own supporters. Saying he was not happy with them. Doesnt agree with what they did at his rally last night when his 15minute lying rant about four members of Congress Took his audience right up to the edge where they started chanting, send her back about one of those members of congress. When your supporters were chanting send her back, why wouldnt you stop them . Why didnt you ask them to stop saying that . I think i did. I started speaking very quickly. I disagree with it, by the way. It was quite a chant. I felt a little bit badly about it. I will say this. I did start speaking very quickly. It started up rather fast as you probably know. You can tell your supporters never to do that again . I was not happy with it. I disagree with it. But again, i didnt say that. They did. I disagree. With what you said at first i dont think if you examine it, i dont think you will find that. I disagree with it. Now donald trump knows we are going to examine it and he knows what we are going to find. Why didnt you ask them to stop saying that . Number one, i think i did. No, he didnt. And he knows that we are going to find he just lied. He did not start speaking very quickly. He did not try to stop anything. He did the opposite. He gave the chant the space it needed to fill the room. Heres the president last night lying about congresswoman ilhan omar as he pushes the audience to the logical point of their chant. And obviously and importantly, omar has a history of launching vicious antisemitic screams. Send her back send her back send her back send her back send her back send her back send her back and she talked about there it is. The proof of the lie. A few minutes later last night, the president said this. Tonight i have a suggestion for the hatefilled extremist who is are constantly trying to tear our country down. They never have anything good to say. Thats why i say hey, if they dont like it, let them leave. Let them leave. They are always telling us how to run it and how to do this. I know what, if they dont love it, tell them to leave it. Last night the trump audience was just following the president s lead, saying what they were sure he wanted to hear. They were echoing what they already heard from him. Today maybe enough republicans must have privately found a way to get the president to pretend that he disagreed with what his crowd said. Much comparison to the john mccain moments in the 2008 campaign and how much better president ial candidate mccain handled that moment than donald trump ever could or would. I cant trust obama. I have read about him and hes not hes not hes a hes an arab. He is not no . No, maam. No maam. Hes a decent, family man, citizen, that i just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues. You just cant watch that enough these days. John mccain said no maam and reaches in and takes that microphone away. John mccain has gotten a lot of well deserved credit for that moment over the years, but heres the most important thing. At that time any other response by a president ial nominee was unthinkable. Absolutely unthinkable. What john mccain said then was what most members of the United States senate would have said in those same circumstances at that time. John mccains decency level was not higher than average for United States senators during his time in the United States senate. But now that Mitch Mcconnell has driven decency out of the republican side, its hard to remember the way things were before the trumpmcconnell alliance. We still have examples of politicians who know what to do when they dont like what their supporters are doing or channing or saying. They dont make the excuse that the audience misbehavior started too fast for them to handle and dont lie after the fact about what happened. Heres an example of that. Heres one of the congress men who President Trump has been attacking for days and attacked last night. Heres one of the Congress Women stopping her own supporters in an audience when she didnt like their reaction to someone who was disagreeing with her in a town hall about Climate Change hosted by chris hayes. Can we come back maybe to universal income later . No no hey, hey, hey thats unacceptable and thats the difference between me and trump. [ applause ] decency still lives. Decency lives in the four Congress Women who donald trump attacked for his audience last night. And the congresswoman who donald Trump Supporters want to send back. Actually went back to her Congressional District today and here was the scene when congresswoman ilhan omar arrived at the airport in minneapolis. Welcome home, ilhan welcome home, ilhan welcome home, ilhan welcome home, ilhan welcome home, ilhan. Welcome home, ilhan. Welcome home, ilhan welcome home, ilhan leading off the discussion is the president of the center for American Progress and renee graham, associate editor and opinion columnist for the boston globe. I am mystified by two things. I do not understand why the president disagreed and decided he had to disagree with his rally audience today. I dont understand why he was more orange than he has been in a long time. Thats a separate point that i will leave to the mysteries of the trump world. I really dont get what happened here that made him step back and say i disagree with that rally guy. I think we should take note of this turn of events. For the last several days, we heard a lot of pundits, a lot of trump watchers say he has a secret plan. This is a perfect strategy. Its going to help him win reelection. Like so many things that the president does, it got out of control. What happened last night, he recognize and i think he recognized only because republicans who were up for election recognize that the imagery of this crowd of thousands of mostly white people screaming send her back to about a woman from africa who was a refugee, a refugee who was a citizen of the United States and a congresswoman was too much for them to bear. I dont think they had a moral conscious. I think they had a political reckoning, which is the polls show that 60 of americans think this is racist. Independents think the president his behavior is racist and he was looking at a political problem and actually did an aboutface. The idea that he has master strategy should go out the window this evening. Your reaction to what we saw the president do and the story as it unfolded. What i found interesting about it, he made the comment and i tried to stop it. Unless he was trying to do it telepathically with his supporters, i certainly didnt see it. He also doesnt express disapproval with whats going on. He stands there passively for about 15 minutes while this chant is continuing. Was this even spontaneous . The chant has that same rhythm as lock her up. Are we to believe that the supporters spontaneously came up with this chant and he knew nothing about it. He doesnt seem at all surprised when it occurs. He said i disagree with it, but i think he is having it both ways. He is trying to seem innocent in all of this while not bothering to acknowledge how much his rhetoric was ramping them up. Its a perfectly composed chant that comes out of the trump hymnal as it were. I listened to this audio repeatedly and it does not answer the question. You come away from it saying i dont know. This could have been organized somehow. It backfired on the Trump Campaign and they decided to pull it down based on the polling. As you say, we showed that polling and it was devastatingly bad for the president. They were much more confident about where they stood last night because what the president was doing there was rare for him. It was a teleprompter speech for the most part at a trump rally. Most of what we heard him say was written by the trump team before he walked into that audience. Lets be honest. The audience is saying what trump has been saying. This was whats so weird. I disagree with what they said, but i said it day after day. Does he disagree with himself . This whole thing is ridiculous and absurd. The crowd is simply giving back to trump what they think he is saying himself. And has been saying. Which is essentially that ilhan omar is not a citizen of the United States, but i think the Trump Campaign is trying to otherize people and the potential of hope here is that the American People recognize that calling everyone an immigrant, everyone who is an illegal immigrant not american is itself unamerican. They have lost this policy and political debate and they have to retreat. We will see if he tweets the same stuff this weekend, but at least for the day, it seems like he recognized he has gone too far. The board is saddened by this event and doubly saddened it happened in north carolina. They wrote send her back donald Trump Supporters chanted without seeing the irony it was they who were moving backwards. Send her back, they cried and it was both a reminder and a warning that here in north carolina, in america, going back is not that far a journey. Renee, i thought that was a powerful point they were making. One of the things we have been hearing people say a lot and i understand politicians saying it because they take a more optimistic view that the rest of us are better than this. We are better than this chant. No, were not. A minimum of 40 is not better than this. Thats on display in that crowd. I think thats often the problem. When we have an incident like this and the first thing is this is not who we are. This is exactly who america is. This is exactly who we are. We are this because we have not dealt with the issues for centuries. Its easiest to look at donald trump and say this started november of 2016. It started centuries before and because its unattended for so long, we now have a president who can stand in an arena in front of thousands of people and encourage his supporters to say send her back about a sitting congresswoman who is an american citizen. There is always a feeling of wow, we need to be better than this. Lets do that. Donald trump doesnt become president if we had been better than this. As the day developed, i knew two things for sure would be in the first minutes of tonights program. One, the john mccain video. The other, the alexandria ocasiocortez video that i remember watching during chris hayes town hall. Those were her people filling up that hall on Climate Change. When one of the people she was debating disagreed in a way the audience didnt like, they started to yell at him. You saw what she did. That point she made that thats the difference between her and trump is so true and it is the tip of the iceberg of the difference between her and trump. Absolutely. But the real difference is leadership. Leadership is telling your supporters and not just the people you disagree with, but your supporters that you have to actually hear from the other side. We havent heard that in years from donald trump. Thank you very much for starting us off tonight. Appreciate it. And when we come back, more members of the house of representatives now support impeachment as they showed in a symbolic vote on the house floor yesterday. One of the democrats who voted to support impeachment yesterday will join us next. And is individual one going to get away with committing the crimes that Michael Cohen is currently in prison for . The Justice Department has officially closed the investigation of the Michael Cohen case, which means it closed its investigation apparently of President Trumps involvement in the Michael Cohen case. Former prosecutor Glen Kirschner said he doesnt think its over. That makes two of us. Later candidate Julian Castro will get tonights last word. Has been excellent.

The house of representatives conducted a symbolic vote on a hastily written impeachment resolution by al green in reaction to the president s tweeted comments that the house of representatives voted to condemn as racist the impeachment resolution had nothing to do with the Mueller Investigation and referred only to the president being unfit for office because of the language that he has used recently about members of congress and immigrants and Asylum Seekers as is common with resolutions like that. Which virtually every democrat agrees with in part. Leadership used the procedural device of a vote on tabling the motion and putting it aside so that technically the vote was not directly on the issue of impeachment. The vote was simply on whether to proceed with that resolution and send it to the senate or delay the resolution. 95 democrats voted not to table the resolution which means we have a new count of House Democrats in favor of impeachment. 95 is significantly higher than the number of democrats who prior to yesterday have taken a position in favor of impeachment. We are joined by one of those 95 democrats, congresswoman robin kelly of illinois, a member of the House Oversight committee. There was no surprise about what was going to happen about the motion to table yesterday, but i was struck. Many people in favor of impeachment actually stood and voted against it, because what it would have done is sent it straight to the Committee Without hearings on impeachment. You can also see in that vote of 95, the frustration of where the house of representatives is on impeachment now. I think thats exactly what it is. People are frustrated and they were disgusted by his tweets and his comments. I know for me, i felt like i had to vote the way i voted because i was so frustrated and just to send a message to my constituents that this man needs to go. We also realize and even if we do impeach him, Mitch Mcconnell is not going to do anything. Thats how frustrated my colleagues and i are at this point. Today continuing to show that you can legislate and investigate and condemn at the same time, the house passed a giant increase in the minimum wage in history. 15 minimum wage, knowing that Mitch Mcconnell will never take it up on the senate floor. What is the difference between the House Democratic leadership with minimum wage. If they wont bring it to a vote. Impeachment which they also know would have troubled to put it mildly. With impeachment, we are walking a fine line and we just got back the majority and the reason we got back the majority is because so many new colleagues flipped republican seats. We have to be strategic in what we do. We have to make sure we are a tracking the people we lost. We have to make sure we are attracting independents and so many people despite the president , they dont want us to go through the impeachment. They want us to take care of business. On my way over here, the person that drove me saying the regular everyday person doesnt care about the things you guys keep talking about. They care if they have a job and care about health care and taxes. I think thats part of it, too, striking a balance. I want to listen to what congresswoman omar said about her safety given that the president is in effect publicly inviting threats to her. Lets listen to that. I am not. What im scared for is the safety for people who share my identities. When you have a president who clearly thinks someone like me should go back every Single Person who shares an identity with me, he is telling them. This is not their country. She said she is not afraid for her safety. Are you afraid for her safety . Yes, im afraid for her safety and the others also. Particularly her safety. Im sure she has some concerns about her safety also. I hope she does. That of her family also. What is it like day to day now serving in the house where you dont know whos next. You dont know who is the president going to target next. You can be absolutely sure hes going to be targeting congresswoman omar for a long time. He has been targeting. This is not just something prior to the trump era, members of the house or senate had to worry about. Its ridiculous and embarrassing and almost unbelievable, but he does something new every week. He as my grandmother is saying, getting into the gutter. Its scary about what happened in north carolina. So many people shouting send her back and saying hes not a racist. Thats scarey that these are citizens of the United States. Robin kelly, thank you very much for joining us. Appreciate you being here.

The william barr Justice Department said it has closed the investigation of individual one, the federal judge in manhattan ordered the release of some do you means in the case of Michael Cohen now that the Justice Department said they have closed the investigation. They detail the timing of phone calls between Michael Cohen and the president and hope hicks and others engaged in trying to cover up Donald Trumps relationships with Stormy Daniels and former playboy model Karen Mcdougal in the president ial campaign. Chairman nadler sent a letter demanding hope hicks return to the committee because her testimony is inconsistent with evidence unsealed this morning. The biggest mystery is the fact that federal prosecutors in court said that Michael Cohen committed the crimes he is now in prison for in coordination with and at the direction of individual one. Who is of course donald trump. The charges that Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to said he committed crimes with and at the direction of donald trump to help donald trump win the president ial election in a experience against the United States of america. If attorney general william barr shut down this investigation simply to protect the president , what prevents the next attorney general appointed by the next president from reopening this investigation and charging individual one with exactly the same crimes Michael Cohen is now in prison for. For the answer to that, we turn to Glen Kirschner and msnbc legal analyst. So glad we could be here. I have been wondering this all day. If this is william barr shutting down the investigation which is only one of the possibilities in front of us, if thats what it is, shutting it down to protect the president , if just over 18 months from now, we swear in a new president and get a new attorney general, can it be reopened . It can be and should be reopened. Heres the thing. I dont know that it needs to be reopened. Heres why. As you set out in the run up to the segment, we have more than enough evidence to prove that with Michael Cohen, then candidate trump broke the law. Campaign finance violations. Because we already had that evidence, it has been reinforced and corroborated by the release of the documents we saw today. Because we already had that evidence, i think the only thing stopping the Southern District of new york from indicting trump right now is that ill advised olc memo that said you cant indict a sitting president. If a democrat wins in 2020 and a rational attorney general, one who actually represents the people and not the president is nominated and confirmed, i dont know that he or she would have to open the investigation. All that person would have to do is tell the Southern District of new york prosecutors now with all of the evidence that you collected previously, i want to you prepare an indictment. Thats what i expect will happen. I cant speak for the Southern District of new york prosecutors, but i can speak as a prosecutor for 30 years. What i see publicly reported would lead me to draft up an indictment for President Trump, both a experience charge for acting with Michael Cohen and a felony Campaign Finance violation charge and on the day President Trump became private citizen trump, i would walk into the grand jury and present that indictment and ask them to return those charges against former President Trump. Adam schiff from the Intelligence Committee is himself a former federal prosecutor said this. The inescapable conclusion from all of the public materials available now is that there was ample evidence to charge donald trump with the same criminal election law violations for which Michael Cohen pled guilty and is now serving time in prison. Glen, lets look at this in another frame. Lets presume no william barr interference. Nothing elicit and the decisions going on in the Southern District of new york. How would you explain the closing of the investigation without introducing a concept of some kind of protective element for the president . So heres how i would explain that. When you read the judges order when he was saying ive taken the prosecutors position under advisement and im deciding there no longer is a basis to continue to have these documents under seal because the public has a right to know. All that means is the investigation itself has been run to ground. The prosecutors and the fbi agents working this particular investigation have done everything they need to do. Therefore there is no longer a risk of interfering with the investigation if the judge were to unseal the documents. That, i suggest, lawrence, is different from somebody concluding that the Southern District of new york doesnt have enough to prosecute. Will not prosecute now, will not prosecute ever. I suspect the only thing stopping the Southern District of new york from prosecuting right now is the olc memo. I dont think there is any inconsistency between them announcing okay, judge, we dont have an ongoing investigative reason to keep these matters under seal anymore. That doesnt mean we are not going to charge the president in the future. I would say stay tuned and i would bet those Southern District of new york prosecutors who has you said announced in open court through Michael Cohens guilty plea that the president participated in these crimes. Ill bet they are champing at the bit to move forward. They just cant do it because of the olc memo said they cant. Quickly, could this be the Southern District in effect offering up their material to a possible impeachment investigation . Thats a great point. Just as bob mueller said he wouldnt come out and say the president committed obstruction of justice offenses, that was up to the congress. There is a parallel between that and the Southern District of new york saying okay, here are all the materials. Our investigation concluded, but we cant charge anybody. So congress, why dont you take it from here . You are the one empowered by the constitution to hold this president accountable. Glen, thank you very much. Appreciate it. When we come back, should the next attorney general appointed by the next president reopen the case of individual one . I will ask president ial candidate Julian Castro, next.

Here are some of the Democratic Candidates responding to President Trumps attacks on four democratic Congress Women. I personally have been told that. Go back to where you came from. It is vile. It is ignorant. It is shallow. It is hateful. And it has to stop. It has to stop. This is the most racist outbreak of statements from a president that i have heard in my lifetime and it must be universally condemned. It was despicable. To stand and attack those four women in the way he did, talking about them going back home. The racist taunts. He is trying to stir up as much hatred and dissension in this country as possible because it serves his political ends. Joining us now is another democratic candidate for president , former secretary of housing and urban development under the Obama Administration and mayor of san antonio texas. I want to get your reaction to the president s tweeted attacks and what he had to say about them for 15 minutes at his rally. Along with the surprise that he seems to want to publicly claim he disagrees with his audience chanting cent her back. Thanks for having me, lawrence. His behavior and comments are disgusting and racist. We had not seen at least in the last 50 years, a politician who has made his career as successfully as donald trump by trying to divide americans along racial, ethnic, and religious lines. This is racial priming. He is the biggest identity politician there is. The rally yesterday was one great example of that. The tropes he is using about go back and the comments from the crowd about send her back, this is harkening an era that we thought that we were making Good Progress in our country getting past. He is bringing us right back. Hes moving this nation backward in a tangible way and making life more difficult not only for the four Congress Women, certainly for them, but also for School Children that are out there that may be black or may be muslim or maybe latino or asianamerican. But in the classroom they go to, they are the other. The classmates are more likely to see them as the other because of this president s words and his actions. He is hurting our country by doing it. Is that something you have experienced anyone saying to you in the course of your life, go back to where you came from . Absolutely in politics. Whether its emails or these days on twitter. A few years ago, it was more Old Fashioned letters when i was a younger city councilman. Yeah, i think you would be hard pressed to find many candidates of color or politicians that are minorities who havent gotten some comments along those lines. I have gotten plenty over the years, but let me contrast that to an experience i had last year. I was at the Ursula Processing Center when a group of activists protested the family separation policy of this administration. As sad as what was happening in that center on the border was with children and their families, what gave me hope is the activists that were there. They were white and black and latino and asianamerican and native american. From different parts of the country. You can see that the values that people have of basic respect for humanity and compassion and understanding and of love and reaching out a hand to people in need. Those are stronger than the division and the fear and the paranoia this president is trying to stoke for his own political ends. The Justice Department closed the investigation of the Michael Cohen case in which federal prosecutors said donald trump ordered Michael Cohen and directed him to commit the crimes and thehim, the crimes which Michael Cohen is imprisoned tonight. If youre elected president , would your attorney general reopen that investigation and examine indicting donald trump . This is what i would tell my attorney general. You treat him like you would treat any other citizen. I believe if he were treated like any other citizen, he absolutely would be prosecuted. Hed be behind bars. Secretary coors, were going to try to squeeze in a break. I want to discuss your policing reform proposals when we get back. What i heard you say this week on this matter, which is the strongest statement i have heard about police use of force by a president ial candidate ever, which as you know, doesnt have a lot of competition. Its not something a lot of candidates talk about. Were going to do that right after this break. Thank you. After this break thank you i switched to Liberty Mutual, because they let me customize my insurance. And as a fitness junkie, i customize everything, like my bike, and my calves. Liberty mutual customizes your Car Insurance, so you only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. [ text notification now that you have] new dr.

Work so hard give it everything you got strength of a lioness tough as a knot rocking the stage and were never gonna stop all strength, no sweat. Just in case you forgot all strength, no sweat. No no no sweat. We saw on video that the officer engaged in Excessive Force against eric garner, that he used a choke maneuver that is not supposed to be used for nypd. He did it for seven seconds fblt it was clear what he was doing. Mr. Garner said 11 different times that he couldnt breathe, and so this officer had plenty of warning. He should have understood what he was doing, that he was killing eric garner. President ial candidate Julian Castro is back with us. You are saying this in reaction to the Justice Department, the william barr Justice Department deciding this week not to prosecute the officer involved in the killing of eric garner. The next stage of this is up to the city of new york, should the officer be fired . Do you believe that that Police Officer should be fired . Youre going to be on the debate stage with the mayor of new york city, bill de blasio. Is this nothing that you will bring up at that time . I absolutely believe that the officer will be fired. I hope we had the opportunity speak about the issue of Police Reform as you know, lawrence, im the only candidate thats put forward a Police Reform plan. This is one more powerful example of why we need it. I would just ask your listeners there, how many of these videos do we have to see, video after video after video of especially young black men that are treated differently by police, that Excessive Force is used on before we understand that its even though we have great Police Officers out there and i worked with some as mayor of san antonio, this is not a case of just a few bad apples. The whole system is broken, and we need a plan to fix it. Thats what my Police Reform plan would do by increasing transparency and accountability, setting a national use of force standard that says that lethal force should only be used in an officer has exhausted all other reasonable alternatives under the circumstances. It would also create a list of decertified offers, National Lists so they cant get decertified because of misconduct in one department and go down the road and get a different job at a Different Police department. And it would demilitaryize our police. Military equipment is given to Police Departments across the country and weve really created more of a military, more aggressive kind of mindset in our police. I think that we need to ensure that they have the tools to do their job effectively, but not create a mill taristic police. I hope folks will go to my website, Julian Castro. Com and check out the whole plan. What would you do about the Justice Department process here . They had the eric garner case for five years before they decided the day before the statute of limitations ran to announce we arent going to prosecute.

One of the things i mentioned later in the clip that you played was that the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department actually recommended charges be brought against officer pant layio, and still charges were not brought and attorney general barr made a decision as i understand it, he was personally involved in making the decision not to go forward. They should have taken the recommendation of the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department and brought charges against this officer because he deserved it. You know, a lot of times this actually mirrors what happens with prosecutors at the local level in counties across the country, is that theyre skittish. They are reluctant to bring these kinds of charges when they should. Im going to give you a little debate practice timing here. We have 45 seconds left for you to answer the question.
