A look at his musical legacy, his activism, and his epic fight against the Music Industry. Even at 17 when i got into the business i never thought that i worked for Warner Brothers. All in starts right now. God evening from new york. Im chris hayes. A huge news day with the loss of a music and cultural icon, very sad day in that respect. Well be remembering him. And a busy day in politics as donald trump and Bernie Sanders hold dueling rallies in pennsylvania in advance of next weeks big primaries, with that state being the biggest haul. A culture war in the republican president ial race early today to start the day off. In a town hall on the today show this morning donald trump was asked his opinion of North Carolinas controversial law forcing trans people to use bathrooms corresponding to the gender of their birth certificates. And his response was, for trump, surprisingly sensible and tolerant. One of the best answers i heard was from a commentator yesterday saying, leave it the way
Stage, it caps quite a day, whether it is more clinton email revelations, more questions about Trump University, new reporting on Elizabeth Warrens meeting with Hillary Clinton and her Vice President ial possibilities and both candidates, donald trump and Hillary Clinton speaking out offering red meat to hungry base voters.

Advisors getting chatty coming out in front of cameras. Jason miller, the Senior Communications officer saying no there is no knife fight inside the trump transition team. And even Newt Gingrich saying no no no were not going to be filling these positions right away. We have time. Were not going to do it on the medias timetable. One interesting question has not been resolved yet. And that is this issue of whether or not Jared Kushner, Donald Trumps soninlaw, the husband of ivanka trump will be receiving the security clearance necessary to receive the president ial Daily Briefing. Kellyanne conway, was asked this earlier today. She said she didnt know the answer. But when she was asked whether that is appropriate she said yes it is. Because if you are going to get the president ial Daily Briefing you need that kind of access. That kind of talk has prompted the top democrat on the House Oversight committee to fire off a letter to mike pence saying that is not appropriate, sonsinlaw do no
And i respect the process. But it was clear to me after new york and that, you know, huge that he was going to sweep in. Thats exactly whats happened. Here are the numbers that we have thus far. And we are awaiting ted cruz who is probably going to speak during this hour and we will take a good part of the senatorsere is is going ton now. Made announcement made by him. One of two things, is he either going to california or hanging it up. Now, the headline of the exit polling is . I think there is two headlines. The outsider headline continues to ring true. More than anything else, what these voters in indiana wanted was an outsider by huge numbers. They also are very concerned about the u. S. Economy. And 92 say they are either concerned or very concerned. They believe that donald trump, who has spoken to them since last summer about fixing trade deals, about bringing manufacturing back to the United States, thats what matters to these voters and ted cruz had made a bet that they were
