I have the most progressive record of anybody running i mean of anybody who would run. And terror in new zealand. The death toll from fridays attacks rises to 50 as victims are identified and laid to rest. The Prime Minister promises promises sweeping gun law changes in the next ten days. This as the white house attempts to denounce any connection between President Trumps rhetoric and the shooter after being cited in his manifesto. You have seen the president stand up for religious liberties. The president is not a white supreme cyst. And facebookstruggles to remove the videos of the new zealand shooting from the platform. Blocking or removing 1. 5 million versions of it. Million in the first 24 hours. This raises questions about how the social media giant curates hate speech every single day. We begin this morning with a flurry of major developments in the 2020 president ial race including brandnew record breaking fundraising numbers for the newest democrat to join the crowded and growing field of hopefuls vying to take on President Trump. And an accidental almost announcement from one potential candidate who could turn the race upside down. And another candidate who has made it official with a goal of becoming the first female president. We have a lot to get and i have an all star panel of reporters and guests with all the latebreaking details but first i want to get you up to speed starting with beto orourke. Announcing just a short time ago his campaign raised a record 6. 1 million in the first 24 hours after he jumped into the race. Thats more than Bernie SandersWhose Campaign raked in 5. 9 million. And at this hour, orourke is taking that momentum to the key battleground states as he crisscrosses the midwest. Right now hes meeting with voters in coffee shops in michigan. Later hes headed to ohio to valley voters there. But beto is not the only one making headlines today. Former Vice President biden and his accidental almost announcement over the week. Just watch this w67b8g9s. I know well get criticized. Im told i get criticized by the new left. I have the most progressive record of anybody running of anybody who would run. Yes, he did say running. And there is more. New york state senator Kirsten Gillibrand has made it official with an announcement over the weekend that shes ended her twomonth long exploratory phase and is now an official candidate for president. We need a leader who makes big bold, brave choices. Someone who isnt afraid of progress. Thats why im running for president. And its why im asking you for your support. Our room warriors are out in force. Nbcs ali vitali with the latest on Kirsten Gillibrand. But i want to go to nbcs Garrett Haake in michigan where beto orourke spoke to reporters and voters. Im guessing hes running a victory lap about the fundraising numbers. Is he . Well, steph, he didnt mention it in the first stop here at a coffee stop here in macomb county, michigan. Hes going to take some questions from the reporters and ill ask him the question. He didnt mention the record breaking fund raising number. 6. 1 million. They barely edged out Bernie Sanders for the top spot here, but essentially dwarfed the rest of the field. He still so far has not hired most of his staff. This theyre still running on a skeleton crew. We are in macomb county, michigan, this is the ultimate swing county in michigan. A state thats absolutely crucial for democrats to retake the white house and the message wasnt about the fund raising numbers. He talked about the work hes still trying to do. Hes trying to hit a bipartisan message. Take a listen. We cannot be too red or too blue, too close or too far from the United States mexico border for me to show up to listen to you, try to see things from your perspective and bring this deeply divided, highly polarized country together around the big challenges before us. Steph, were still a year away from the michigan primary. This is not an early primary state. Its not a state thats typically a major Battle Ground in democratic primaries but orourke is here because of the importance of it and it fits his state fairly well. Talking to the folks here in the coffee shop, a lot of folks are excited to see this candidate. Theyre familiar with him in texas. And theyre telling me theyre looking at him and joe biden. That seems to be the flavor of the moment here in macomb county, michigan. Im going to get the fundraising answer for you and maybe get back on with you here in a little bit. All right. Ali, lets talk Kirsten Gillibrand. She made it official. Whats the message she wants to get across . Well, if you look at her announcement video shes talking about what shes done in the senate, where she has been for several years now. I think thats something that her campaign is hoping that voters will see as an asset for her. Someone who can say that she wants to get things done and then does them in washington. Im thinking specifically she points out in her launching video that shes worked heavily on decreasing and stopping military sexual assault. Thats where she did rise to National Prominence and shes starting this race from zero. Look at what she did in the last two months of her exploratory phase and shes being doing smaller retail style of events because thats where she thrives and she needs to get her name out there and into the national conversation. Thats Something Like beto who had National Prominence from six months ago running against ted cruz. Others like Bernie Sanders and joe biden are known. But Kirsten Gillibrand is not. Shes going to focus pretty heavily on michigan and other places like that. Shes doing of course a town hall with chris hayes there tonight and then shes rallying with the governor there, gretchen whitmer. One of those elected in the 2018 wave. That whats well try to see more of from Kirsten Gillibrand. I will point out shes not releasing what she raised in her first 24 hours, but her campaign does point out and theyre right she is sitting on 10 million overall. So shes not in a bad starting position. 10 million, not a bad position at all. I want to bring my panel in. Its a favorite one of mine. Evan cig freud, vice chair and former speaker, christine quinn. And mark thompson. Mark, i complained this weekend i saw you on joy reid in a yellow technocolor dream coat. I thought you have brought your brilliance on many times and today you delivered. My question is to you. Beto orourke 6. 1 million. Because of what you wore you get to go first. Does that make him a frontrunner . Fundraising wise, yeah. I think it also shows that which is no surprise. I think everybody was looking at him with a lot of enthusiasm. He broke through almost one in texas. Im reluctant to say frontrunnerfrontrunner, but for the moment, yeah. I think hes improved his position a great deal. Although, you know, when you run for president , before you run your popularity is always high. But when you start running then people start, you know, putting chinks in the armor. And frankly, you know, women are going to decide who the democratic nominee is. Women are. And i think that and remember who women voted for in the last election. Well, but not democrats though. I mean, im im talking about the primary right now. Youre right about that. In terms of the primary though, women are going to decide. And i think his campaign and frankly those of us covering his campaign have to be very, very careful about how he is covered. How he is put out there versus the overwhelming scrutiny that all women candidates get. Thats just real. See, some people reacted to i was born to do this. They attacked Hillary Clinton for allegedly wanting to run for president from the time she was 6 years old. So i just think its not going to be helping him, even if women who support him now they began to say, wait a minute, why are we being so hard on the other women candidates . Why does it take a man to ride in on the white horse and the same thing goes for biden too quite frankly. Im not going to say it will play out that way, but they have very careful about how thats framed and some women have already decided thats the way they feel. Women are going to decide a democratic nominee, period. Okay. Im pretty sure that theres a woman heading up the gop i believe its Mitch Mcconnells niece. She was aokay romney, sorry, she was okay with the gop sending this tweet out about beto orourke this weekend. His mug shot from a drunk driving arrest in 1998 on st. Patricks day. Obviously, stoking ethnic stereotypes. Offensive in every possible way. And this is what beto orourke said. I want to focus on the big picture, on our goals. They want us to be defined not by this pettiness or the personal attacks that we see in ones like the ad that you just described. Okay. So if the American People are looking to get better, smarter, live better lives, what on earth is the gop thinking with a disgusting tweet like that . It was morally wrong. It was strategically wrong. It was also stupid. It was offensive. I have that one for you. It was offensive too. I dont think that was the right message to put out there. We had ted cruz bring up the drunk driving arrest in the context of the campaign. It was strategically beneficial to beto orourke. Because we were waiting as republicans when beto jumped in the race. We said just wait until the rivals take the cruz Oppositional Research on beto. This inoculated him from the drunk driving arrest and its out there and it will end quickly. I dont see how a candidate can use that against him now that democrats have rallied to his defense. Much harder. Its actually not about the drunk im talking about the strategic. We have been clear that i think its absolutely morally wrong that the gop did this. But what this shows isnt that the democrats can or cant use the drunk driving. What this shows yet again are is the true colors of the gop. Thats what this shows. I mean, they have gone way back in their boxes and dusted off the irish need not apply signs. I mean, this is historic discrimination and hatred we thought we had moved on from decades ago. It is stupid. It is stupid, but its not whimsical. Its a statement of who they are and how narrowly define themselves and who they are. Thats important. Can you explain to me what joe biden is doing . Is he running, are we there . How about drop it already . You have to love an uncle joe slipup. There you go. I think there will be more until he announces. Hes going to announce hes going to run but hes going to have a little fun in the leadup to it. Thats why we like him. Yeah. Was that a slipup or was that a slipup like he kind of did it on purpose . Who knows . Im wondering now. Who knows . And then in all sincerity, why wait, why not just do it all already . The second you get in, then the mood changes. You get much more positive press coverage on will he or wont he . One thing on the beto fundraising numbers. We think hes shallow and its feel good statements without much policy hold on a second. President trump had a whole lot of a lot of horrible statements with no policy behind it. Hold on. Why not take a page from President Trumps playbook, no policy, big on fluff. But go with a positive message not a hateful one. I think a positive message is great and i encourage every candidate to come out with a positive message, but its interesting to see elizabeth warrens fundraising numbers where she has been heavy on policy, 300,000. While its a positive message compared to trumps message of division and hate and discontent, people are going towards platitudes and not substance. This is what from iowa said. Part of how we succeeded in south bend, and with the progressive values wasnt by trying to manage where i was on this left right spectrum. It was trying to do the right thing. I view myself as a progressive but the labels are becoming less and less useful. He said dont give me a label. Hes gaining steam, but not the steam that beto is. Why not . Well, hes a mayor of a small town, hes 36 years old. Hes not been on the National Stage so far. Every move he makes is massive and significant and what his race or exploration shows so far is that men and women with policy, men and women who have lived a life of service are taken seriously by the Democratic Party and given their opportunity. I think that really runs counter to the idea of democrats seizing only on personality and fluff. What do you think . Pete i think what he is saying makes some sense and there are some voters who want his sol who want to hear solid policy. I hear from some of them. People like some of the things hes saying. Beto though has been a rock star ever since he ran in texas. As i said, theres so many comparisons to obama. Hes got the look and everything. He may you know, if he adds even more policy to it, he may have the whole package. As i said, you know, hes a man. He gets a little bit of a head start. Absolutely. Out of the gate. All right. Well leave it there. Just moments ago the president tweeted about joe bidens speech and that slipup on saturday calling joe biden a low iq individual. I dont know too much about joe bidens iq. I definitely have never seen trumps school records. Do you know who i believe has a high id, tim cook, who the president knows as tim apple. Well, tonight, i mentioned it earlier, two major democratic contenders will be here on msnbc. First at 7 00, Chris Matthews will be hitting the road with cory booker in iowa and then at 8 00 p. M. , chris hayes will host a town hall event in michigan with Kirsten Gillibrand. Both tonight on msnbc. We have breaking news right now out of the netherlands. An attacker is at large following a deadly shooting on a tram in utrecht. It is being treated as potential terror attack. The antiterror coordinator said that the threat level has been raised to the highest level possible in the region. We will keep you up on that story as more develops throughout the hour. Coming up though, its deadline day for 81 people. Agencies and entities to respond to a request from the Judiciary Committee to provide information related to the president. This as President Trump goes on an allout twitter tear over the weekend, blasting the special counsel and its investigation. Despite claiming he told members of the gop to vote in favor of releasing the Mueller Report. Well dig into all of that next. And he went after saturday night live. I hope somebody tells him it was a rerun. T live. I hope somebody tells him it was a rerun. This year, were taking it up a notch.

It is deadline day in the house Judiciary Committees investigation into the president. Chairman jerry nadler inveiled the investigation earlier this month that will look into obstruction of justice and giving 81 agencies, entities, individuals until today to deliver any information relevant to the investigation. Nadler told the hill that he expects about half of them to comply but he also said a few witnesses are fighting requests but refused to say if he would subpoena them. This comes as President Trump spent the weekend i dont know if i could it a twitter storm, a typhoon ripping everything from the steele dossier to saying that mueller shouldnt have been put in and then he voted in making the Mueller Report public. Say what . Professor from the university of Alabama School of law, joyce vance. With us msnbc justice and security analyst and former chief spokesman for the justice department, matt miller. Matt, to you first. His history would tell us that the president goes off on these massive tweet storms because we follow them. We follow every single tweet. We walk in to how there are lies, this and that, and he does it before a piece of massive, damaging news drops. Is that the case here . Maybe. Every time i try to crawl into his brain to figure out whats going on i regret it later. Hes hoping that there are favorable pieces of it to him. The white house has to review it for executive privilege claims and its possible he knows of indictments coming but its also possible hes unhinged because he watched a fox news story that got him upset. Youre right, sometimes its the president having a cranky day. So the president having a cranky day, Rudy Giuliani saying he hasnt been doing tv because everything has been said and theyre going through
