part of east baltimore. and there's scattered looting in like the west side of downtown et cetera. but we do not have widespread burning and fires and looting. i don't want to give the wrong impression. but what is going on is a very serious situation. >> jamal bryant the mayor has announced that the curfew will begin tomorrow night at 10:00 p.m. and already baltimore has had a curfew of 9:00 p.m. for kids 14 and under. and so at 10:00 p.m. tomorrow night, there will be law enforcement authority to simply stop anyone who's out there in baltimore as jane was just reporting moving around in that kind of way. do you expect that to be a helpful element of getting control of the situation? >> well, of course. i want to be optimistic and i'm praying with everything that's in me, as is the larger faith community, that tomorrow is going to be a much more peaceful day as a consequence. tomorrow night at 7:30 in the city of baltimore, we're having an emergency community town hall meeting to see how we can get some red

frankly, this is a baltimore city situation. baltimore city was in charge. when the mayor called me which quite frankly we were glad she finally did, instantly we signed the executive order. we already had our entire team prepared, and in fact i had already called general sigh earlier in the day and to be prepared to call up. we were in the second floor of the statehouse in constant communication and we were trying to get in touch with the mayor for quite some time. she finally made that call and we immediately took action. >> reporter: governor do you think you should have gotten involved earlier and acted earlier? >> i know the city has done everything in their power to get it under control. i don't want to question what they're doing. they're all under tremendous stress. we're all here on one team. i want to thank the mayor for all of her involvement. we're just happy that we're all on the same page and able to help each other at this point. >> reporter: can you tell to us what the national guard [ inaudible ]? >> i'll let the general talk about the subje

baltimore's baseball team is the baltimore orioles. they play at oriole park at camden yards in downtown baltimore. orioles were supposed to play a home game last night against the chicago white sox. for all the reasons that you think that orioles game in baltimore last night was canceled. they also decided to postpone another game that was due to be played today. also a home game in the orioles' downtown baltimore stadium. the game that was scheduled for today, they also have another home game scheduled for tomorrow wednesday. today the orioles announced tomorrow's game, the wednesday game, it will be played. they are not postponing that one. it's going to be played at home at the orioles home stadium in baltimore, but that game will be and i quote, closed to public. which means that the baltimore orioles and the chicago white sox will be playing a professional baseball game in baltimore tomorrow in a completely empty stadium. no lines for beer or peanuts. the wave might finally work. but, boy, is that going to be weird. nobody in maj

we'll head back to baltimore because police - there's the mayor of baltimore speaking. let's listen in. >> this is a horrible incident that we didn't want to see happen but we are - like i said it's happening all over the city. we work hard. >> thank you. >> reporter: do you regret the decision to allow or do you stand by your opinion to allow people to express... >> listen i will protect people's right to protest. the fact they exploit that i never said they couldn't protest. i never said we are giving people space to destroy our city. my words should not be twisted. >> reporter: that was the mayor ... >>> we heard the major of baltimore, stephanie raul jings blake speaking. we have the former congressman an the phone. she was referring to a controversy that has arisen. the mayor says that comments she made about police showing restraint and leaving space for protesters had been misconstrued. what do you know about that. what she believed was misconstrued was it was thought she was saying protesters should be given space to destroy things. >> destroy was the wrong word

so this is real baltimore. this is not tourist baltimore. this isn't the baltimore you see when you go to an orioles game or you go to see you know the boat in the water. this is further up the road. this is about 25 to -- i'd say about 25 blocks north. if you made a cross with your hands, this is right in the middle of the city and this is a predominantly black neighborhood. but i wouldn't call this a poor neighborhood. baltimore has a variety of neighborhoods. they go very quickly from wealthy to pretty impoverished. all of a sudden you will be in a poor part of town with a lot of baunled homes. this is not that area. this is actually a pretty busy alive place. this is very close to the city's board of education facility where they run all of their schools. and wendy has something she wants to say. >> we found out what that building is that looks like a residential building. it is. it is the penn north plaza senior building. >> oh dear. oh it is. >> like an old folk's home there so you can imagine the anxiety there tonight as the building

very poor baltimore. i suspect that's the situation in a lot of major cities around the united states right now. but talk about the two baltimores. >> it's truly a tale of two cities. this is not a baltimore thing. this is just an american big city thing. it's interesting when you drive through the city of baltimore, literally you can go from block to block from an affluent area to an area that has significant troubles and hardships. we have continued to do an excellent job of building up our downtown area around the harbor spreading out the harbor into a project called harbor point. and many folks say we're continuing building downtown, let's start building uptown. that's a lot of the frustration we're seeing specifically in the central west baltimore corridor and throughout the city. i think the infrastructure is here. the interest is here. the one thing, we're at a time when interest rates are probably as low as they'll be in my lifetime. there's a lot of time there's a lot of attention and a lot of en

the death of baltimore resident freddie gray while in baltimore police custody. but these solidarity protests tonight are happening across the country. this right here is minneapolis. right now you see a pretty large group of protesters blocking a significant roadway in minneapolis, minnesota. earlier tonight the largest protest for a while was in new york city. this is union square tonight in manhattan. hundreds of people started gathering at this new york event. earlier on in this evening, protests turned confrontational and law enforcement started arresting people. police had handed out flyers to protesters saying they would arrest people if they stood in the street or if they blocked traffic even pedestrian traffic. some of that was heated. we don't know how many arrests there were in downtown manhattan tonight but we are monitoring the situation on the ground in new york. we'll have a live report in just a moment. significant rallies and marches in boston, massachusetts, about 500 people turned out. washington, d.c., only about 40 mile ace way from baltimore

as the correspondent said baltimore city and particularly east baltimore and west baltimore have been states of emergency for the last 46 years, because the city the city leadership, whether it's political or corporate, have not spent the efforts to make sure that all parts of our city were taken care of. we have a great harbor but the outer harbor of our city where most of us live has been neglected for too long. >> to that end, the protesting you are seeing right now on our live feed are of folks marching what looks to be peacefully down baltimore's pennsylvania avenue. chris hayes and councilman karl stokes, thank you guys both for your time. >> thank you. >>> as we continue to monitor the situation this hour in baltimore, we are also following major developments out of nepal. the prime minister now warns that the death toll there could reach 10,000. we will have the latest on the relief efforts just ahead. ♪ building aircraft, the likes of which the world has never seen. this is what we do. ♪ that's the value of performance. northrop grumman. 73% of americans try... ...to cook

baltimore, ed. baltimore is america, it is a city that is municipally indicative of the income gaps the extreme wealth disparities across this nation. so addressing those things at the federal and national level is just as important as addressing them directly and structurally in the city of baltimore. >> i agree totally. more coming up here on "the ed show." still to come, the challenger. we'll take a look at what bernie sanders' campaign means for hillary clinton, the challenge. we'll have the latest on the devastating earthquake in nepal. our guest shares her personal connection to the disaster and we're watching the protests as they unfold peacefully in baltimore. we're right back on "the ed show."

the baltimore story also making headlines there. and this last one is from mexico and as you can see in this image, it is the same picture as the brazil headline of the rioters standing on top of that police cruiser. we have crews in baltimore following the big clean-up under way. and this is a huge effort from the community. this is a facebook page dedicated to this effort. it shows more than 2,000 people are at the clean-up at the cvs that burned down in west baltimore. nbc 4's aaron gilchrist is there and you can follow his updates on twitter. and while the focus has largely been on the violence and the aftermath of those riots in baltimore, we want to show you this one video of a dance party that broke out just blocks from there. this is a man doing some michael jackson moves right in the street and on top of a truck at one point. this apparently happened at the same time as the fires were burning in baltimore. many of the protests in the city have been peaceful. we're back in 60 seconds. >>> tyson foods is working to eliminate

i can tell you, i was able to get around east baltimore, west baltimore, massive crowds in west baltimore. that is just adjacent to the cvs which you saw burned last night. that's the cvs where you saw some of those rioters cutting the hose to at least help put out that fire at that cvs. massive crowds already there, here this afternoon. so far, being in touch with police they haven't reported too much in terms of any kind of rioting thus far. at least what i can tell you what i saw. peaceful protesting happening in the city of baltimore. in fact some people joining in a circle of prayer. here's what we know as far as the city is concerned -- now under a state of emergency. today, schools closed. a couple of federal offices will be closing early today. a mandatory tur few fewer than eight hours a-- curfew fewer than eight hours away. i'm told what we're looking at a helicopter. and you have the governor of maryland here. and i believe i actually saw this helicopter not too long ago here in the beautiful blue skies of baltimore. taking a look touring the damage touring the destruction. the

when you're from baltimore, you're from baltimore. it's something in your dna. at the same time i see my officers boarding that bus behind you, they love baltimore too. i had officers come up to me and say i was born and raised in this city. this makes me cry. one of my officers came and said i went home and cried last night. this is a sad part of my city. what you're seeing today within our community also is people out celebrating and trying to heal this community. it's clear that what we have to do is change the culture within the baltimore police department. that's something that we've started on two and a half years ago and doing things totally different, bringing this community inside the police department taking the police department and sitting down and reading to five six and seven-year-old kids. bringing athletics. we are more to do. but we can't do it this way by destroying their beautiful city. we have a lot of things that we need to change and we're willing to work that direction. very shortly we've had an okay day today. we had a small event that to

there in baltimore. >> and up on the end, where loyola is near the johns hopkins campus student campus not the hospital students at loyola ordered to stay on campus. that is an i dilldyllic neighborhood. explain where that is. it's an absolutely stunning area. >> oh it's beautiful. it is further north and to the east. it's pretty far away from where this activity is. you couldn't walk there. let's put it that way and also hearing that the maryland institute college of art which is a very famous school which is very close to that cvs, that is instructing the students out of abundance of caution, mica is advancing students not travel away from campus this evening and students not leaving home not to come to campus. they will -- they're officially closing at 5:30 and putting liberal leave policies in place for faculty and staff. this is an interesting mix of students who do go to this art school. it is a school where they make beautiful sculptures beautiful art. and it is juxtaposed with vcss and that sort

of baltimore, demonstrators throwing objects at the baltimore police department. we have two reporters down there as well as a former maryland police officer neill franklin telling us what's going on. i want to bring in former fbi assistant director and cnn law enforcement analyst tom fuentes. wuching this unfold what are you observing, tom? >> jake what i think is happening over several days a almost an intimidation of police.police they've been afraid -- too many police out there -- afraid to put body armor or helmets on because it looks mean. afraid to use armored cars for protection because it looks militarized and are now in a position where they're weak and not really able to make the arrests that they need to make right now for people that are throwing bottles and bricks and other debris at them. i think now we see them trying to catch up and wait for more backup police to arrive and to suit up and be prepared to make tactical maneuvers to make arrests. i think the police have allowed the narrative of how mean they are and how all of this is their fault, i

although baltimore has had peaceful protests since then many people in baltimore have been calling for peace, even putting themselves between police officers and the enraged public public, we have seen people throw rocks and bricks at police officers, and police responded with some of the same bricks and with projectiles and tear gas. 15 officers were hurt in today's clashes. most of them minor injuries, but two injured seriously enough that they are still hospitalized tonight. in just the last hour we have heard from the family of freddie gray and the family's supporters. they've been calling for an end to violence. the family's lawyer spoke about the ongoing investigations into mr. gray's death. >> we don't want to rush to justice. we don't want that. we want justice. we want accurate fact finding, no matter how long it takes, as long as it doesn't get stretched out unreasonably. we want to know all the details of this investigation so that we can decide as a community what to do next. we're not interested in prejudging the situation. >> the lawyer for freddie gray's family speaking

dee, you know baltimore so well. the people of baltimore, you heard evan's reporting there may not be charges and they may not have a decision here for a long time. are the people of baltimore prepared for this? what happens if there is no decision for months? and if there are no charges against these officers? -- >> it's hard to say. right now baltimore doesn't look like baltimore. we're living in a mill tarized state right now. even walking over here i passed all types of humvees and dudes with assault rifles and guns that plug into vans and things like that. so it's hard to say. let's just hope that the right thing happens so we don't have to worry about that. >> i guess the question is what is the right thing? in your op ed you wrote, when it comes to baltimore police department i'm quoting your op ed the only option is to rise up and force mayor rawlings-blake to make what should be an easy choice stop protecting the livelihoods of the cops who killed freddie gray or watch baltimore burn to the ground." what are

more folks not just on baltimore and all over the country are calling her a we talked to people in baltimore. >> i think she was right. >> reporter: if your son were old enough to be out in the street rioting and you saw him, what would you do? >> the same thing that mother did. go find my son and take him home because his life could have been saved. >> my mother probably would have did the same thing. >> mine, too. baltimore's police commissioner said more parents should have taken charge of their parents like graham after the riots started but not everyone agrees. listen to this baltimore resident. >> wow. well, they said go and get the children but they didn't say go and cuss them out and beat them up. >> graham has received wide praise from folks on social media. after going viral, the video started trending on facebook thousands of tweets including the #momoftheyear and the original video posted on youtube has exceeded three million views. graham says she hopes the whole situation will be a teachable moment for her son jose. jose, we should know one of the things we have not heard is pr

, west baltimore. and everybody is talking about they can't wait until friday, which is just two days from now. we just heard somebody had their calendar circled for that day, like it's a big day, a most important day. now we're told don't rely on that because nothing public could come out. this is going to be very frustrating over the weekend if this is the way they handle this thing. >> well, there is a lot of people who still haven't heard that message that the information is not going to be revealed. and that's why officials now, including freddie gray's family's attorney, billy murphy is telling people not to read too much into that, and to lower the expectations within the community. they want a thorough investigation. they want the findings to remain secret. >> well, that's not going to come over too well. thanks, mark puente for your great reporting for the sing, thank you. >> joy reid has more now on the disconnect over the friday date. joy, i'm wait fog hear from you. what went wrong in the r

and west baltimore. i'm curious what you say to police officers who i basically have heard say the exact same thing to me. i mean police officer after police officer that i've talked to here in baltimore or i've talked to in ferguson or around the country in the last six to eight months will say, look yes, you're going to focus on these incidents of brutality and these incidents that have videotape but you're failing to capture how hard the job is and how well many people do the job. what do you say to that? >> i would say that there are many police that do a real good job. i think that police risk their lives every day. but my response to them is, therefore, you ought to help us get rid of the bad apples and you ought to help expose the cops that are brutal or that break the law just like you tell us in the community that we ought to give up those that are doing things wrong in the community. you have to have it both ways. and what we've not seen is a lot of demonstration in that effort. so do i think m

we are the baltimore ravens. we feel like we carry the heart of baltimore with us. everywhere we go we feel like the heart of baltimore with us. >> there's a big echo in this auditorium which is making it difficult to understand what coach harbaugh is saying. we're going to get back to that and go to athena jones, she's in another part of baltimore with more about the city's reaction and the curfew. hi athena. >> reporter: hi carol. while the curfew has been credited with helping keep the peace and the calm here on the streets of baltimore, a very calm night last night, but it's also beginning to come under some fire. we're here on a busy commercial strip in east baltimore. some of these stores were looted but others are reopening. we've seen one or two open every few minutes. people rolling up those gates, those roller gates. that's fine for these stores but if you are a restaurant a bar, a nightclub, even a 24-hour gas stations they're all being affected by this 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. curfew put in place tuesday night, expected to last until next tuesday. we spok

yes, baltimore on the left, and also baltimore on the right. the pictures on the right-hand side of your screen markedly different in tone as well. this is a protest outside of the state attorney's office. no justice, no peace. a constant refrain. let's listen. >> no peace. no peace. >> no more killing. >> more peace. >> we want justice. we want justice. >> we want justice. >> going to have justice. >> we want justice. >> we want justice. >> going to have justice. >> going to have justice. >> no justice. >> no peace. >> no justice. >> no peace. >> there is perhaps no better exercise of the first amendment than bringing signs, chanting and matching outside of a civic office, this is exactly what this peaceful group of protesters is doing in baltimore and why this office? because in just two days, a report is expected to land on the desks of the prosecutors inside that building. the report from the police themselves on why and how they believe freddie gray died. it was the genesis of what we're seeing in baltimore right now. about baltimore, it d

they chanted new york is baltimore. baltimore is new york. alexandra field in the protests. >> reporter: john protesters followed by police officers for a lot of the night. it started in union square. hundreds of demonstrators coming together. they were there to express sadness and outrage over the events in baltimore. police were prepared for a large group to gather there, but they started the evening warning people over a loudspeaker that if they obstructed the sidewalks or got into the streets, arrests would be made for disorderly conduct. when the people moved out, police inntercepted them and made arrests. they walked into traffic and more people were arrested and into times square where police made arrests. tensions running high as the crowds were showing support for baltimore and justice for freddie gray. a lot of the times following in a line of mopeds and motorcycles. john. >> alexandra field on the streets of new york. a new night of protests in ferguson missouri. dozens marching down west flourissant avenue. about 500 peaceful prot

every able-bodied person that loves baltimore, that lives in baltimore, that works in baltimore should every day be doing something to work in a positive way for the lives of these young people. because we know the conditions that we're living in. as you stated these conditions have been there for a long time. they result in many systematic failures from government to family and community responsibility. myself as a african american man who grew up in baltimore that was a lot worse than the one i live in today, that's why i work and do what i do. so i can make baltimore better for these young people so we do not go back to the '90s. we know we have these problems. we have to address them together as a city united putting all egos aside. we're all going to have to make uncomfortable changes moving forward, everyone tox make baltimore the best baltimore it can be. >> now, let me ask you, do you feel that this will continue this drive for a real move to change the structural inequality in baltimore going forward? and do you feel that we can ultimately see some justice in this case around

it's west baltimore. adam may from "america tonight" is walking with community leaders in baltimore and is on the phone with us. adam, if you would, you worked in that community, lived in that community. if you would, first of all, tell us exactly where you are and who you're walking with and what you're hearing. >> reporter: tony this is a developing situation right now. i'm standing next to congressman and i was joined with a couple hundred faith leaders here in baltimore. they all joined hands and marched right into the center where this rioting is taking place. the congressman is holding handing with smuft some of the major leaders from the big churches in baltimore. he's walking directly up to the police line. he's about 20 feet away right now where you have a couple hundred police officers all stands there with their shields up walking directly towards the police. i'm not sure what the message is going to be at this point, but all of the chaos happening here right in the center of this part of the c

all fires are under control in baltimore city. it was a busy night for firefighters in baltimore. a fire broke blocks away from johns hopkins hospital last night. there is no word on the cause of that fire. >>> breaking news coverage continues this morning with the words that have some people raising their eyebrows. what maryland's governor had to say about >>> your time now is 4:38. we're staying on top of breaking news in baltimore. the city is under a state of emergency right now. governor larry hogan called in the national guard. these are live pictures now as you can see. officers in riot gear ready to take on what lies ahead in the day ahead. several fires are burning around the city still right now. we just received word of a new fire on west pratt and monroe streets in baltimore. that's about ten minutes away from the inner harbor. rioters have looted dozens of businesses and caused a lot of property damage. more than two dozen people were arrested. mayor stephanie rawlings-blake put a curfew in last night. we still don't know how the 25-year-old or why his his spinal cord

when you're from baltimore, you're from baltimore, it's something that's in your dna. and at the same time as i see behind these cameras, my officers boarding that bus behind you. they love baltimore, too. i had officers come up to me and say i was born and raised in this city. this makes me cry. and one of my officers came and said, i went home and cried last night. this is a sad part of my city. i think what you're seeing within our community also is people celebrating and trying to heal this community. it's clear that what we have to do is change the culture within the baltimore police department. something that we've started on two and a half years ago and doing things totally different. bringing this community inside this police department. taking the police department and sitting down and reading to 5, 6, and 7-year-old young kids. bringing athletics and making police officers coaches. we have more to do, but we can't do it this way by destroying this beautiful city. we have a lot of things that we need to change and we're willing to work that direction. we've ha

you see what happened in baltimore. if the police are told well it's okay we're going to give them space to destroy, and the police steps back we'll see what happens. when you're the police officer. but they do need integrity, and i think that can be done. >> dr. and reverend alveda cane thank you so much. >>> and the governor set for a news conference. >>> and the irs scandal. a watchdog group recovering thousands of missing e-mails from none other than lois lerner. he was at the center of the scandal accusing tea party and other conservative groups. doug how many e-mails are we talking about? >> we're talking about 6,400 e-mails that stretch from a time period of 2004 to 2013. a long long time. nine years. but most of them come from the year 2012. that's roughly a year after lois lerner's hard drive crashed. these new learner e-mails were discovered with the treasury inspector general's office and handed over to the finance committee just last night. the discovery coming just a little after a month after the i.g.'s of

this is one area of baltimore. it's north baltimore. but we are watching a number of different locations as police are preparing for nightfall. this after there's been a lot of reaction to what the mayor said about the situation with the protests developing over the weekend. >> i've made it very clear that i work with the police and instructed them to do everything that they could to make sure that the protesters were able to exercise their right to free speech. it's a very delicate balancing act. because while we try to make sure that they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on we also gave those who wish to destroy space to do that as well. >> so let's bring in our panel. steve hayes, senior writer for the weekly standard juan williams national public radio and syndicated columnist, charles krauthammer. steve? >> obviously the people responsible for most of the violence are rioters. they are not protesters. and listening to that it's really a jarring comment. it's hard to imagine a public official saying

it's baltimore. tom: somebody lives on this street that owns that car, then. >> yeah yeah yeah i know they're mad. hope they had insurance. you know what i mean? that's how it is out here man. tom: thank you. hear what some of the folks on the streets feel. sorry for the profanity that you may have heard earlier. lot of raw emotions out here in west baltimore at this hour. leon: looks like it's going to be a long night and we'll be seeing lots more of that. alison: the tide seems to be turning. earlier you were focusing on when all of this started around 3:00 it was very clear the specific target police officers. and really police officers only. the first vehicles we saw on fire were police vehicles. but now, we're seeing the looting of the c.v.s. the looting of the check cashing store. and now residents' vehicles parked on the side of the street on fire. so it is the tide there in that sense is turning a bit. leon: that would be a rather troubling development if we start to see more and more of that

and west baltimore. they're putting it so succinctly, these young people have merely hurt themselves. that's where we are right now. police have sealed off the downtown area. not much traffic. very few people because these businesses got wind that business was brewing earlier. there wasn't much of a rush hour in downtown baltimore this evening. >> we've been talking about the baltimore orioles game scheduled to go off at 7:05. word from wnew is that the game is going to be played. wjz is reporting fans have to come through the home plate plaza gate. the other gates to camden yards are closed off. we don't know how or why the decision was made to keep playing. >> we want to go live to the baltimore area. what can you tell us? >> we're headed downtown to where the situation is most intense. earlier we were in a west baltimore neighborhood about a mile from the mondawmin mall where things really got started today the more tense things got sparked. firefighters and police officers were nearby but it was just

of baltimore. the curfew going into effect tonight at 10:00 p.m. we're following several new developments. one, msnbc objecttaining a document saying gray was arrested for alleged possession of a switchblade. two, the "washington post" reporting gray was trying to injure himself in the back of the police van. that story is coming under fire. and we want to find out what you think about it. we'll toss it to frances at headquarters in new york with an update on our bing pulse question of the day. this has to deal with the fact that there was a second person being transported in the back of the van for a brief period of time that said they heard freddie banging his head against the walls. >> right, they couldn't see because of the partitions in the van, but they heard freddie was banging his head. we're asking based on the report from the "washington post," also based on the interviews with forensic pathologists, if you think that freddie gray injured himself. let's look at a scoreboard wherever we st

streets of baltimore today. people turning out from all corners to send a message they want to take the city back from the rioters. scott broom is live at the mondawmin mall with more on that part of the story. >> of course mondawmin mall, this was the scene of looting and rioting yesterday. i want to show you some good news behind me. here are guardsmen baltimore city police officers resting easy right now because there is nothing at this moment to react too but rest assured they are prepared. they are dealing with a city today that's both angry and trying to be hopeful. >> if we don't get justice it's going to be star wars coming out [ bleep ]. >> reporter: raw anger. contrast with a sadness. the image of guardsmen with assault rifles on baltimore streets. >> just to see the introduction that happened within our community, this is a community that i've lived in for 50-something years. just to see the devastation that took place yesterday, it was all unnecessary. >> reporter: but many residents today wouldn't s
