south carolina went red again. but if you want to see where in the south barack obama won not just the primary but the presidency, you only have to drive a half hour away from here when the traffic's good. you only have to drive a half hour away to swing state north carolina. democrats controlled the state house of north carolina as recently as 2010. north carolina had a democratic governor as recently as 2012. they had a democratic senator until just this last year. and one of the times barack obama has run for president he won north carolina. so being here, it makes for kind of a high-stakes science experiment. what makes south carolina and north carolina so different? why is one of them fire engine red, where i sit right now, and the other one a half hour away kind of more of a great jelly purple? why is this happening in our policy? today i finally got close enough to ask those questions myself on the north carolina side of the border in charlotte. i went there today with a professor of southern politics, scott

this is a poll of democratic voters in south carolina, and we now know what south carolina voters thought about the three candidates in that event, what they thought of martin o'malley and bernie sanders and hillary clinton. this is a question that public policy polling asked. in this event on friday night if you watched the forum did the forum give you a more or less positive opinion of each of those candidates or did it not make a difference? first up, hillary clinton. voters were very impressed with her performance at the forum. among people who watched the proportion of people whose perception of hillary clinton improved based on what they saw in the forum was 61%. 61% of people felt more positive about her after seeing her on friday night. the percentage of people who watched the forum and had the opposite impression, it worsened their impression, that was just 14%. and a quarter of people said it made no difference, 25%. the numbers were sort of similar for bernie sanders. a little different but sort of the same idea. most people, a majority of people, 51% of people who watched the

clinton: i know how controversial trade has been in south carolina, and south carolina is a classic case of winners and losers because of trade. the biggest losers have been a textile firms. because, a lot of those jobs, not just through nafta, but through differences in cost of production went to asia as well. so i don't feel we can blame the loss of the textile industry on nafta. i think it was broader than that. nafta may have opened the door more widely for jobs to go to mexico, but textile jobs were under global pressure, even without nafta. now, what does that mean? because the other side of the equation is that south carolina has attracted a great number of car companies, more advanced manufacturing companies. so it is kind of a news-bad news story. what i want to do is make it possible to recruit internally within united states and externally from abroad more jobs -- and i'm not sure we can get textile jobs back unless they are more sophisticated, requiring higher levels of expertise in the dying and the printing and whatever else is required -- but i do think we can get more adv

but let's begin with a preview of south carolina. in just under three hours, we'll see the first in the south democratic presidential forum right here on msnbc. for hillary clinton, south carolina's personal. it where she suffered a tough primary loss in 2008. to then senator barack obama. bernie sanders has been gearing up for tonight with a clear strategy, deciding he's going to take clinton on in a way that he had said he wouldn't do before on wednesday. he told the "wall street journal" that his remarks in the first debate were, quote, not a call to end the investigation. on thursday, sanders told npr that he has the best chance in a general election and pointed to clinton's vote on the iraq war as one reason. today he told "the boston globe," quote, i disagree with hillary clinton on virtually everything. simply put, we could hear some really tough talk on stage tonight from sanders in a way he had said he would never do. so let's go to chris matthews. i guess that's the big unknown here. bernie sanders is telegraphing that he's

south carolina law enforcement says an officer responded to a report of a car break-in. the officer found two people in a car. the officer says the car hit him when the driver tried to drive away. so that's when the officer shot at the car and killed one person inside. the officer is expected to be okay. now for a quick check on your weather with meteorologist kaj o'mara. now, one last look at this morning's weather, kaj... plan on another nice one all across eastern iowa. temperatures will be slightly warmer with highs in the middle and upper 50s area-wide. more clouds will build tonight setting us up for our next area of low pressure that will impact iowa on wednesday. most of the area will see rain by the afternoon and evening hours with thunderstorm s also possible. given how strong this low pressure system is, we may have a few strong storms within all this as well. there is a risk of severe weather over southern iowa, and much of this will hinge on how much sun we see as to whether severe storms will materialize or not. we'll be monitoring it closely. moving forwar

south carolina. south carolina develops pretty much entirely as a support colony for barbados. other things the islands need, like food and protein and fuel and timber. south carolina, being relatively close to barbados becomes a key stop. south carolina develops pretty much entirely as a subsidiary of the island of barbados, producing goods that are needed on the island. early industries of south carolina, raising cattle. mostly to send livestock to power the mills and fresh meat to feed the folks on the island. timber. cutting down-- wood to send for fire. lumber to construct mills. coming from the big pine forests of the southeast. and then there's also the fact that the islands need people. ,he second half of the 1600's no accident, you can see the rise of a trade in indian slaves, native american slaves being taken to the islands. pretty much every colony in north america engages in it to some extent. south carolina on a larger scale than most, but new england colonies, they sell native americans into slavery in the caribbean. virginians sell native americans into slavery

the student involved in that school in south carolina, her classmates. some of them, and the teacher, african-american, an administrator i don't know. they say they want the police officer back. >> i think it's probably the most fascinating piece of conversation, it's the process that happened in favour of the officer. many view this has that is happening because the kids think the officer is right. i view it as a deep, deep seated normalizing violence. it's almost a contemporary agreement. an agreement of stockholm symptom. actually over time it develops empathy. they've been in schools over such time. they've been abused for so long. they view the violence as an ally rather than a person involved in the educational process. when i saw the protest. it reminded me of slaves who were traumatized. things were better when we were back on the plantation. it reminded me of a story. when the children were lead away from egypt. angry at moses for leading them to freedom. is it people so afraid of living freely and having a voice, afraid of agency, they'd rather

in south carolina you have men who have been organized. this south carolina regiment that was organized, it was organized independent of the u.s. government completely at first with prince rivers. they are running rage in the sea islands. they chase a lot of the planters inland because of the fear of rates. -- raids. prince rivers -- when you see these red trousers, after they've done this work and general david hunter is down there, he does organize them as a regiment in may of 1862, but it's illegal. they can't requisition any uniforms from the quartermaster department. their uniforms are donated to them. within the loyal league, within this -- within this african-american society it's quite notable that they get red pants. why? there are many units in pennsylvania, and new york. it was modeled after the african soldiers that helped king louis. these are kind of elite soldiers. when they get the red pants, it's not really an insult. it's illegal for them to be organized when they are organized. when it becomes legal for them to organize

in communities like those here in south carolina. and i want to be a coordinator and connector so that we get people to really understand what we are capable of doing, no matter where we are. do not wait for somebody in washington. make the political demands, what you need from washington. try to hold your elected officials accountable. if we could get voter registration up and south carolina, your elected officials would look different than they look right now. in many parts of the state, and so, we have to work in a partnership, from the grassroots up, and from the top down, and we have to give more people the tools to make the best decisions for their own lives. that is when i grow doing, that is what i learned to do, and that is what i will do as your president.
