democrat where do i fall with these more progressive ideas of people like bernie sanders. you just heard him talking about his signature health plan medicare for all and elizabethth warren bo of them center stage. or are you a little more conservative as a democrat, a little morto the moderate side we heard it all last night and it clearly seemed that there were two sides of this party that haven't quite figured out yet which one is going to be most competitive against donald trump. >>wh i don't understand y anybody goes to all the trouble of running for president of the united states just to talk about what we really can't d shouldn't fight for. [ cheers and applause >> i think democrats winhen we run on real solutions, not impossible promises. when we run on things that are workle, not fairy tale economics. >> reporter: so if you're looking for a substantive debate, a lot of issues came out last night you just heard about healt

care gun control. pete buttigieg talk about an assault weapons ban. a lot on immigration again, with the candidates splitting on some issues like whether or not to ease penalties for illegally crossing the border there were differences but the one thing they all agreed on, in fact twogr things d on, fighting racism and beating donaldmp tru >> we have got to take on trump's racism, his sexism, xenophobiaand come together. >> donald trump disgraces the office of president every single day. >> how somebody like donald trump ever gets withindiheating stance of the oval office in the first place. it doesn't happen unless america is already in a crisis >> i don't think anyone can justify what this presidenis doing. >> reporter: so can ten candidates down, ten more to go tonight, including the front-runner, at least according to the policy. joe bidewith another match-up

with kamala harris we saw what happened when the two of them clashed inl miami es on that debate tonight. >> all right we'll certainly see what the narrative is for tonight tracie, thank you. the democrs are debating in detroit president trump is adding new fuel to his feud with baltimore. this time saying t city's residents are "living in hell. in a new interview with nbc civil rights icon reverend jesse jackson said that there's an underlying danger to these kinds of comments. >> not just specically baltimore. for example, aanta and st. louis is rat infested. it comes from maxine waters, she had a low i.q. division is the real conversation when we exhaust our best arguments about race and the pain and the danger is not

discsed. enemies of the state, they can be killed. >> nbc geoff bennett is in baltimore with more. >> reporter: president trump firing off another h shot in ongoing battle against congressman elijah cummings and the city he represents >> baltimore's been very badly mishandled for many years. i do know congressman cummings has been there for a long time he's had a very iron hand on it. it's a corrupt city. those people are living in hell in baltimore they're largely african-american >> reporter: words from the president that cut deep for people we talked to here people who live in baltimore are living in hell how does that make you feel? >> it don't feel good. you know, iton't feel good at all. >> reporter: and about this claim from the president >> have we seen more phone calls than i think on any other subject of people from baltimore and other cities corruptly run by democrats tha fing me getting involved >> we didn't hear much

gratitude. >> it really upsets me becauseat th not true. i mean, yeah, we have our problems here in baltimore but everybody has problems >> reporter: why do you think the president keeps attacking congressman cummings >> because he's the head of the oversight committee. r >>orter: others suspect different motives. >> you think president trump is racist >> yeah. hands doou no dbt about it. >>ngeporter: we kept hea the same offer, that the president should come and see the city for himself. >> we can invite trump to come visit maryland and then he can make his own assumptions he won't have to hear. he'll be here himself. >> president trump says he's willing to visitghaltimore at the time that could come in september that's when house republicans are scheduled to have their annual retreat here. phillip? >> all right geoff bennett for us geoff, thank you denuclearization thrown into disarrayth after n korea fired two more short-range ballistic missiles off its eastern coast it is the second launch in less than a week. kim jong un sending a warning to south korea and washington over

plans for joint military exercises next month nbc's matt bradl joins us from hong kong. this puts yet another strain on u.s. relations with the north. >> reporter: that's right, militarily, technogically it doesn't really move the ball this is kind of a viergs ariati missiles that have already been tested by north korea. and it doesn't violate the pledge not to test nuclear missiles or ng-range missiles. but politically it's very significant. and as you mentioned it's the second time in just the last week that they've run a test like this of a short-range ballistic missile. and they've done this in just the month since president trump made a major diplomatic ride, literally striding into north korea, becoming the first sitting president to do so it goes to show these major diplomatic symbolic gestures like that really don't hold much long ongoing dispute with the north. these questions about military drills the u.s. have been doing wi the south koreans under the

obama administration, under george bush, the north koreans hated them under every administration this isn't new and it goes to show if the u.s. really wants to go back to the negotiating stable with kim jong un, with the north koreans, then thha're really going to to change their own behavior. they're going to have to rein in some of these military drills with the south koreans frances? >> all right matt bradley for us. matt, thank you. the aclu is challenging the trump administraon's reasons for separating migrant children at the border saying the government has done this to more than 900 children since june of 2018 more than half of those separa e w ed were under 10 years old and 185 were 5 or younger. what's even more alarming are the justification ppz these separations often triggered for mething as minor as a parent not changing a baby's diaper or a traffic citativi for dring without a license. earlier thisonthcting homeland security secretary kevin mcaleenan said the separations were made only in thofe interests the child but the aclu wants to ensure

that this happens only if there is evidence that the child is in genuine danger family and friends gathered for an emotional vigil in gilroy, california to remember 13-year-old keyla salazar, who was killed during the mass shooting ougat the garlic festil >> we think it's important that the community knows who keyla is and how important she is for us. she was our motivation and we're in pain that we lost>> her. keyla was remembered for being kind, noble, and caring. and we're learning more about the inve mass shooting.unday's where three people were killed officials are now clarifying that the 1year-old gunman used a rifle legally purchased in nevada but he illegally brought the weapon into california a delta pilot has been arrested for allegedly showing up to an airport under the influence. federal aviation officials say the pilot was taken into custody tuesday morninmiat the eapolis airport before a scheduled flight to san diego. officials say as the pilot was
