alabama. and alabama is maybe the most interesting part of this. because alabama is not the place you would expect a candidate like donald trump to turn out so many people. but donald trump tonight has at least partly filled a good size football stadium in mobile, alabama tonight. his campaign initially said they expected 36,000 people at this event in the stadium that i think holds around 50,000 people. later this afternoon mr. trump was bragging that they expected more like 42,000 people tonight. we do not know the exact number or if the fire marshal is good going to give an estimate. katy tur kimts on the generous side the crowd is about 20,000 to see donald trump which means that the expectation game was turned upside down for him tonight. with all of the bragging about what a big room he needed. a big arena he needed to fill. raising these expectations over the day about how more and more and more thousands of people wanted to see donald trump. he ended up talking to a large crowd of peop

florida, alabama, texas, louisiana to see if that was true. many people now believe that it brought legions of socially liberal to the south. they didn't do that either. they found that the space center recruit was from the technicians and technologists raised and trained in the south. the personnel chief told them that 50% of the employees came from alabama. they found very much the same thing. around 38% of the people working in huntsville. nearly 18% worked elsewhere in alabama. 30% of the labor force was from out of state of the largely are largely in the south. in florida about 28% of people were in brevard county in 1965 and worked outside of florida in 1960. he wrote that there seems to be no evidence of strong pressure for negro rights nor strong sympathy among the technologists for civil rights. they appear to be an outside group presenting what would have to be dealt with and in some way which are no concerns that there's. >> bc this attitude playing out in the stories of those that we tallied the book and we are going to tell a few

he's a very significant person in huntsville, alabama. steven you talked in your original paper about the influence that the germans had. >> they had a civilizing effect on huntsville but they brought a european sense to the community. if you talk to people that were there at the time and read the reports from the major and -- mayor and all of that, germans save huntsville. that helped a lot as huntsville became much more progressive. von brown is essential to nasa's success as an engineer and standing up to george because there was no federal politician that had that credibility to people in alabama. not president kennedy, not attorney general kennedy, not later president johnson. this is von brown. he has gone to the legislature several times to get money for universities, research centers. this was von brown. he was one of us, and when he start standing up to george on race issues, that means something. he's not a yankee, he's not somebody from some where else. he's a guy at huntsville. if you ever get a chance to read the hate mail th

it is alabama that was worst law than arizona's law. and alabama was first. they were worse and first. whether or not alabama republicans have a national reputation for being the most radical anti-immigrant politicians in the country, alabama republicans really are the most radically anti-immigrant politician unless the country and they are not embarrassed about it. >> as your congressman, on the house floor, i'll do anything short of shooting them, anything that is lawful, it needs to be done because illegal aliens need to quit taking jobs from american citizens. >> mo brooks, alabama congressman talking about how sad he is that he will not be able to shoot illegal aliens from the house floor. he will have to stop short of that, house rules. on the senate floor alabama republicans have been well represented by jeff sessions, the chair of the immigration subcommittee in congress. if you want to get the flavor of his politics on the subject, consider he thinks cracking down on just illegal immigrants is a sign of weak withness. he thinks that is for sissys. je

this is happening at a football stadium in mobile, alabama. the university of south alabama. the response has been so great that the event had to be proved to this football stadium. let's get the latest on what's going on with the campaign. our senior washington correspondent jeff zeleny is joining us. he's in iowa. also joining us, our national political report eer maeve rest. ron brown stein and our senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin. jeff zeleny, you've been covering this campaign. what is the sense out there? is there a realistic -- a lot of people are doubtful but is there a pat to victory that people are beginning to see for donald trump? >> sure, wolf. i think there is a path to victory depending on what the next iteration of his campaign is. i think any suggestions that his campaign is nearing the end, i think those have been shelved by republican party leaders as much as some may want it to be so. but we still do not yet know how much is real in terms of his on-the-ground effort. and voters are viewing this as a process. every voter i've talked to is intrigued by do

alabama. that's where they found the gumbo. the opposition, once upon a time bipartisan support led by many republicans. today we have a new act that has been introduced in congress. what are the chances of the voting improvement act, the voting advancement act being passed in this congress? >> what do you think? >> this congress can barely name a post office. >> that's true. >> i wanted to thank you, donna, for the very kind plug of my book, and i want to thank l.d.f. who i have learned so much covering voting rights and the smithsonian for hosting it. you are right. the voting rights act has been a bipartisan piece of legislation from its inception. not just the passage of it in 1965, but it was reauthorized four times, and i think a lot of people don't realize that. those four reauthorizations were all signed by republican presidents, and whereas it was passed over by republicans in congress. was the bush administration -- of nearly 50 years, and we've reached a breaking point in the last few years where we're in a situation

and it is held at 43,000 seat football stadium in alabama. people lined up in 90 degree heat to get a spot f. the crowd size fulfills trump campaign's expectations it will make up one fifth of the population of mobile. joining me live from donald trump's rally is nbc news correspondent is katy tur. who's coming to the rally and why? >> reporter: a lot of people are coming to this rally. they were hoping 36,000 would come. they said they had upwards of 36,000 rsvps. the stadium holds 46,000 people but it is a little less than half full the moment. a lot of people are coming to hear his blunt talk. they are excited to see what he says and what they may not expect him to say because he is a loose cannon. the people here say they are not necessarily all decided that they are going to vote for donald trump, but they do believe he has a chance for their vote. they are going to come out and hopefully, in their words, be convinced by what he is offering the country, especially the immigration plan. people here are hot on the issue of immigration. bac

not a single alabama taxpayer wants to see massive tax increases. trump's history of supporting democratic ideas will not go unnoticed in alabama. so please share this with your friends. this again an e-mail going from the bush campaign out to alabama supporters. trump has been throwing a lot of sharp elbows. looks like bush is getting ready to do so, too. >> the happy tortoise or whatever he called may be stepping it up a bit. >> lacing up the gloves. >> carl, thank you. >>> we have another glaring example tonight of exactly what hillary clinton is being investigated for. here's chief intelligence correspondent kathryn herridge. >> reporter: in november 2009, as the u.s. government was finalizing its strategy for the draw down in afghanistan, aide huma abedin forwarded this e-mail to mrs. clinton's personal account. the e-mail which contains the b 1 code for classified information includes intelligence from britain foreign secretary david milliband. milliband's aide said very much wants the secretary only to see this note. this code means the infor

alabama is a place where the trump voter lives. someone who may be a lot more conservative than the average voter. someone who agrees with the immigration policy. i can see why there would be a lot of interest, particularly in alabama. >> jason, let's talk about this. the biggest number before this was bernie sanders in portland, oregon, 28,000 people turned out for his campaign. if trump gets 35,000 as he says that's the number of tickets asked for. what does it mean? maybe not a flash in the pan or he's a showman and at some point things will level out? >> i think he's certainly a showman. he has yet to show and sanders has yet to know they can translate the crowds to people that turn out and go to caucuses and primaries. that's going to be a challenge to get people who show up to go and volunteer. you need an organization. he doesn't have that right now. he has drawing power, so does sanders. it's summer, people want something to do. i think this high school football stadium will probably fill up with people. they want to see th

though the gulf coast of alabama was not the hardest hit of the region, the gulf coast of alabama was severely impacted by hurricane katrina. while there are some healing that still needs to be done, the gulf coast is not only back in business, but has returned to life as usual and it is thriving. new shipyards are being constructed, new businesses are opening up and tourism has returned to the region. this, i believe, is a testament to the spirit of the people of the state of alabama, as well as our neighboring states, as mississippi and louisiana. and as we move forward as a country and as a region, i hope that we'll not only look to the lessons we've learned from the failures of this response, but also to the lessons we learned about kindness, the lessons of charity, being a good neighbor and actually the spirit of this great nation. i thank my colleague from louisiana to draw attention gain shes not to place the blame on the organizations that we could point blame, but to the spirit and greatness of all those involved in the kindness, charity and spirit that arose. and i yield bac

>> mobile, alabama. >> taking place at a stadium which is home to the university of south alabama jaguars. crews are removing one of the goalposts to accommodate the stage for the republican front-runner. the event comes as trump looks beyond iowa and new hampshire while his blunt style may seem like an unlikely fit in the south, trump says he is not surprised by the enthusiasm. >> what happened is we took a hotel like a ballroom that held 1,000 people, and the company, the hotel company calls us up and said we're getting swamped. we don't have enough room for this. they then took another one that was larger than another one, then the convention center, and i think it holds 10,000 people. within a few minutes, we were wiped out of that one because we were way over. and then they end up going to your stadium because that's the -- >> right. >> that's because that was the only thing that could hold it. it's become like a happening. it's become an event and a real happening. they know they're not going to be ripped anymore. and they're smart people. and they know what's going on. they know ho
