6:00 pm
acknowledgement. rather than seeing reform there, everyone moved away and left. so there is a real question, what will become of ferguson? it's not necessarily a question we will be able to answer, maybe not for a few more years. >> wesley lowrie, patricia bynes, thank you both. >> that is all for this evening. the "rachel maddow" show is next. >> thank you for staying with us the next hour. in politics as in life, some things change and some things just don't. . >> this is what you told cnbc last year, which raised a lot of eyebrows. i put it on the screen, can you imagine how controversial i'd be. you think about clinton with the women, how about me with the women? can you imagine? >> well, i mean, i think there is a certain controversy to me. i am single. i do go out with women. and i do respect and adore women. and some women love me and probably some women don't. but i am certainly
6:01 pm
controversial. >> when you say that the president had had a fling with a supermodel rather than monica. >> i didn't say that. i said there are those that say that if he had a fling with a supermodel, he would be everyone's he. >> reporter: i didn't say i said it. >> do you believe it? >> it's possible. >> let me show you what you said about women if your book and give you a chance to respond. this is helpful. women have one of the great acts of all time t. smart ones act very feminine and needy, but inside they're real killerlingle rs. i have seen women manipulate men with just a twitch of their eye or perhaps another body part. >> when women see or hear that on the screen, don't they say donald trump, isn't that a little bit over the line? >> i'm saying women may be beyond us, you and i. they're smart, they're countrying. >> killers. >> killers in many respects. >> that's what you said. >> i'm saying in r not all, many so tough they make us wince. >> one had this to say. let me put this on the screen. if trump is really serious about
6:02 pm
being president and runs in the general election next year, i will not be silent. i will feel it is my duty as an american citizen to held the people what he is really like. >> he will hath no furry like a woman scorned. >> discussing his views of women and klaining to mold for the white house. back then he was claiming to flirt with ross perot's reform party tick. it looks quaint as a louder trump has waded farther into presidential politics and diner into a morass of commentary on gender. >> you've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals. your twitter account has several disparageing comments about women's looks. you once told a conat the time r testant on "celebrity apprentice," it would be a
6:03 pm
pretty picture to see her on her knees. does that sound like you as a men with a temperament to be president and how hullry clinton to be the democratic nominee are you a part of the war on women? >> i think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. [ applause ] >> i have been challenged by so many people and i don't frankly have time for total political correctness and, frankly, what i say and oftentimes it's fun, it's kidding. we have a good time. what i say is what i say and honestly, megan, if you don't like it, i'm sorry, i have been very nice to you, i could probably not be based on the way you have treated me. but i wouldn't do that. >> that got pretty awkward, but it could have ended there. as a clab between a brash candidate and a moderator. but no, because it's donald trump. >> i don't have a lot of rnt for
6:04 pm
megyn kelly. she's a lightweight. you know she came out there reading her little script and trying to you know be tough and be sharp and when you meet her, you realize, she's not very tough. she's fought very sharp. shoes zippo. she gets out and starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions and you know you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her, wherever, but she was in my opinion she was offbase. >> that personal and seemingly sexist attack on megyn kelly, who is very popular with many conservatives, may have gone very far, maybe even for donald trump. several candidates were doing what they largely failed to do, stands up to something he said and trump unable or onu unwilling to apologize argued instead everyone misheard him. >> i said blood was essentially blood was pouring from her eyes, blood was pouring you, then i wanted to get on with the rest
6:05 pm
of the sentence, blood was pouring, i was going to say nose or ears. and i just said, let's get on, so i said wherever and there was nothing obviously. only a deviant would have thought otherwise. >> this pattern has played out before. right along, trump has basically gone gotten away with it even though he showed himself incredibly thin skinned. >> when you were talking about bush, who by the way is about 10 points lower than me, you sort of mentioned like, you know, can kasich beat bush? well, you know, excuse me, eare 10 points away. what i say is what i say and honestly, megyn, if you don't like it, i'm sorry. i have been very flies to you. maybe i should not be based on the way you have treated me. but i wouldn't do that. people attack me, i you know let them have it back. you say physical appearance, it's my hair. people are constantly attacking my hair. i don't see you coming to my defense. you know, my share just fine.
6:06 pm
i don't see you coming to my defense ask donald trump has quoted other controversies in this brief campaign, of course. hills announcement speech smeared mexican immigrants as rapists, which drew heat. he criticized john mccain's war service. the current controversy hits closer to trump's punitive political home because he's personally attacking a fox news anchor beloved by the conservative base. it also stokes a conflict with a crucial message platform for the debate for tv candidate. that's why this is different. any one viewing this is a simple spat between trump the businessman and a single tv anchor is missing the bigger moving picture here. this is a battle now between trump the reality show candidate and the conservative media, which helped create his candidacy, the very channel with a lifeline to republican primary voters that helped shift this story from reality show to reality. it's a battle about who actually gets to set the rules. fox news or the candidate it
6:07 pm
elevated. so far, donald trump seems perfectly comfortable with offending the very people you might think he'd be trying to impress right now. does the most recent controversy matter to donald trump anyway nbc news surveyed republican voters any over the weekend, found even though they hated his debate performance the most. he leads all the other candidates, that by a mile. that was a survey taken of course after the debate. late today, another piece of evidence emerged that this dispute goes way above one fox news anchor's pay grade. today the president of fox news, himself, roger ailes, reportedly intervened directly, reportedly calling mr. trump, a conversation off the record. we don't know the details. although we'd love to. trump immediately said on twitter that ailes promised him fox would treat him fair going forward. trump returns tomorrow to fox's morning show.
6:08 pm
the biggest question in this gop primary hung on fox news decisions. >> that channel had the power to decide who the viable candidates were in the debate and then how to question them before the largest voting audience in primary history. up until now, the presidential campaigns had to lobby fox news. that's the way it's always been on the republican side. was eight bibit of a role reversal today for roger ailes to make that personal phone call to mr. trump? does donald trump hold more power than anyone gives him credit for? what does this mean for his campaign, if it is a real campaign? sands when the front runner for the republican nom snakes getting personal phone calls from roger ailes promising reportedly nicer coverage. what's everyone else in the world supposed to do? joinb us now on a big day if politics, political reporter from the washington post, thanks for joining us. >> it's great to be here. >> let's start with those questions. where is donald trump now in a standoff that at least according
6:09 pm
to donald trump resulted in roger ailes reaching out and playing nice? >> you know i think he is exactly where he wants to be. none of this was new information to people who are supporting donald trump. i think a lot of them decided it was pretty irrelevant and fox news understands that donald trump is good for the numbers. i mean, look at the ratings for that debate. so again, i mean, he has proven that he is, you know, invulnerable to a lot of things that would have been fatal to any other candidate. it just sort of makes him stronger with the people who support him. >> and not only invulnerable, but welcomed by a larger portion of the potential republican electorate than those who say they support him. i want to put up the new reut s reuters/ipsos polling, spec to the debate, what role is he
6:10 pm
playing? republicans are saying by participating in the debate they think he challenged the establishment, seen as a good thing. >> that his participation allowed for more honesty about the problems facing america again by a wide margin there 56% and they think his par tis paying of the debate opened the party to new ideas. that would suggest r suggest that after seeing. which as you mentioned, seeing him by a large audience, there is a bunch of republicans who don't back his candidacy but are grad he is involved. >> you know the real question is what are the ideas? because in that debate when he was pressed on specifics, for instance, the specifics behind his charges that the mexican government is dispatching murderers and rapists over the border, he got very vague. look. this is, it is an easy thing to do in august to flirt with a requested with a candidate like donald trump. in iowa and new hampshire as we
6:11 pm
get closer to february, the question will be imagining this person in the oval office and so, you know, the reporteds tonight are that trump, himself, is beginning to understand. he has got to actually have some policy ideas to be putting on the table, other than just arguing that the answer to all of the problems in this country is the force of donald trump's personality. >> so do you think then that the reception he is getting, the republican party, is despite or because of that? i mean, he was asked just this morning on msnbc about policies of equal pay. he said i will not get into that right now. there will be time for policy later. >> and that time is coming. right now, he is the vehicle the vessel by which a lot of voters feel they can send a big message, both to the republican party and essentially into the
6:12 pm
political dialogue at large and that is his role right now. but again as we get closer to people having to go into the voting booth and cast a ballot for somebody they can actually imagine in the oval office, the dynamic is likely to change. i think donald trump is smart enough to realize that dynamic is going to change. >> why do you think he has been so brash and unapologetic after these clearly attacks on megyn kelly. it doesn't seem this is something that will help him in the long run. >> because, you know, this ha has been part of his is that for a quarter of a century. this is a man who in 1991 told esquire magazine that it didn't matter what the media wrote about you as long as you had a young and beautiful piece of anatomy and that again has been just very much a part of his
6:13 pm
public persona as a showman, as a media personality. but again, there is a role here the reports are he is considering serious policy for his campaign. there is a role here that he is going to have to grow into at some point. >> we will get to those reports as well. thanks so much for your time tonight. i appreciate it. >> thank you. we are going to have more on donald trump's wild ride ahead, specifically can this become a real campaign and also the hottest ticket in portland oregon this weekend may have also been the unlikeliest and later two words, people, stais space lettuce. you heard me. please do stay with us. (vo) maggie wasn't thrilled when ben and i got married.
6:14 pm
i knew it'd take some time. and her sensitive stomach didn't make things easier. it was hard to know why... the move...her food...? so we tried purina cat chow gentle... ...because it's specially formulated for easy digestion. she's loved it ever since. and as for her and ben... ...she's coming around. purina cat chow gentle. one hundred percent complete and balanced for everyday feeding of adult cats. my name is jamir dixon and i'm a locafor pg&e.rk fieldman most people in the community recognize the blue trucks as pg&e. my truck is something new... it's an 811 truck. when you call 811, i come out to your house and i mark out our gas lines and our electric lines to make sure that you don't hit them when you're digging. 811 is a free service.
6:15 pm
i'm passionate about it because every time i go on the street i think about my own kids. they're the reason that i want to protect our community and our environment, and if me driving a that truck means that somebody gets to go home safer, then i'll drive it every day of the week. together, we're building a better california. a better presidential front runner hillary clinton did something unusual today. she healed press conference.
6:16 pm
clinton stood at a podium in nampb and took open questions from reporters on a day she unveiled a new plan to encourage state funding of public universities. yet out of the ten questions posed to hillary clinton today, five of them were about one topic. donald j. trump. >> you know, it's entertainment. i mean, look, it's all entertainment. you know, i think he's having the time of his life. you know, being up on that stage, saying what he wants to say. getting people excited both for and against him. >> clinton was also careful to say trump's comments about fox news host megyn kelly were, indeed, outrageous but kelly is a strong woman that can defend herself and argued the rest of the republican field backs policies that impact women which are just as outrageous. he told nbc's andrea mitchell marco rubio's debate statement that rape or incest is more troubling than trump's brand of
6:17 pm
entertainment. clinton nearly felt the media interest in trump is overdone, even as she spent half to react to the trump campaign. should we call eight campaign? there is new inner workings about the trump organization. now it may be changing. the reporter who broke that story will join us next. stay with us.
6:18 pm
6:19 pm
primary states and rarely addresses key voters in person. >> why are we lear in new york, off the campaign trail? >> i have been to iowa manytimes times. i have been to new hampshire many, many imse too. i love the people there. we've had tremendous success, we had many crowds. nobody gets as many standing ovations. >> you are not campaigning that much. how can people take you seriously if you are not showing your face? >> that was trump's weekend round game saying he's on the air. of the many odditys in trump's candidacy is he has convinced republican leaders and voters and reporttories treat his activities as a full campaign all without much campaigning. here are some numbers. trump held three eveterans since declaring jeb bush has done ten. lindsey graham 20, chris christie 21. it's a glaring public sign of thump's thin field presence to date. behind the scenes, the game looks thinner. trump may have billions of
6:20 pm
dollars. he's not spending it on top political talent. the manager has only one one losing campaign previously. it's hard to recommend. the campaign co-chair in the crucial state of iowa, they're not even from the state. she linked up with trump by appearing on his tv show "the apprentice." politics is in my expertise, she conceded. there would be no way to tell donald trump how to run a campaign, this is my first time at this. a few other advisers are known most for serving his corporation, like his lawyer michael coen who holds a job with the trump organization but was speaking on behalf of the campaign or roger stone, a controversial operative who had a break with the gop but advised trump's business interests and he actually just split with the campaign, announcing he quit or if you ask donald trump, he was fired. either way, mr. stone saying he came to the conclusion trump lacked the discipline to be an effective candidate. so there isn't much evidence
6:21 pm
that trump wants to build or pay for the type of professional organization that's needed to run a national campaign. along, maybe there is a secret staff in the wings or maybe the best indicator that this surreal candidacy isn't real at all is the behavior of donald trump, himself, this shrewd student of human behavior think he will win over the voters of iowa and new hampshire by avoiding them? does he think he can run a campaign without leaving his apartment? when he hit all those major talk shows just yesterday, he insisd on doing the interviews all by phone as he does for so many of his tv interviews, maybe trump isn't rung a campaign or didn't begin it as a real campaign. today even he seems to concede that in a way. telling the washington post robert kosta that now, starting now, he does want to build a real, fully staffed presidential campaign operation.
6:22 pm
what an idea. joining us now with more is robert kosta, national political reporter for the washington post. good evening to you. >> good evening. >> what did donald trump tell you and does any of this suggest that at least previously he was not looking to run a fuel national campaign? >> trump and i had a conversation on sunday morning and you get the sense that most campaigns for the presidency, they surround themselves, the candidates will messaging consult ants, people who tell the candidate what to sea and what not to say. these are young people usually out of an episode of the west wing. >> r. trump he is the message. that's what he really believed. he does not need a carl rove or david axelrod around him. >> but at a certain point, he needs people to do the things he's not going to do. the best message in the world doesn't get you on the ballot in every state. it doesn't keen your leverage open if he wants to be third party. who does he have on staff to do the logistics and the raelg work even if he's his own top message
6:23 pm
guru? >> that's how trump expects to run this campaign. for a majority of the time, he wants to be a candidate out there, taking interview after interview, being an outside presence in the world. behind the scenes, the campaign manager from new hampshire, he doesn't have much presidential campaign experience, trump is letting him have full authority now with stone out to make hires, mike at glassner a former sarah palin aide brought in as political director. the person who ran rick santorum's campaign in iowa isn't board. luan do y lewandowski. >> we have been reporting on what you can read into some of highs choices, i don't think any professional political adviser would tell him to do all interviews from his apartment. it's weird at a certain point, when he had occasionally gone out and done the voter events, though, he does make an argument that you have been alluding to.
6:24 pm
this is a good thing. his approach is different. he's not wasting the time or doing the money grubing we see from traditional candidates. let's play it out. >> i get calls from as far as, could we come and see you? know, have you these campaign finance limits, which are a good thing. i even tell him. senators call him. i send them a check. i say, don't bother. they want to fly from washington to new york. come to my office and i'm allowed to give them what $2,006. this is what they do the that's what they do from morning until night. >> what he's referring to there is something that common cause or other critics of government could also make that argument. do you think that his critique and his disdain for how campaigns work today actually is appealing? >> it's certainly appealing. people are frustrated with the political system, seem to be checking with trump. he recognizes he needs to do more. you have lewandowskis and other
6:25 pm
advisers to get the position out and talk to experts and a conservative movement. this is a key tran circumstance it's been a huge summer for them. a as i remember where they've ascended in the polls unlike they thought they have to build and survive. >> you are saying from your reporting, you think he is faring better than he expected? >> i think so. the thing about trump is, i spent a lot of time with him on the campaign trail. i never seen a politician monitor twitter more, really understand the medica, to know he can tall r call into certain programs, because he has a certain status. to know who the writers are, who the photographers are, to understand the stagecraft of running for president. it's a politician unlike we have seen before if recent cycles. he thinks he can work this prosz says do his benefit and ends up as the nominee. we'll see that disbelief. >> finally then, looking at that sophistication as you put it or
6:26 pm
that ability some would call manipulation, how do you explain where the debate and scuffle here with fox news goes tomorrow morning as we reported he will appear, he says roger ailes has given him these assurance, where does this end? trump, his m-o, he often thinks people don't want to fight. people avoid confrontation. by being a confrontational person. i seen this in interaction after interaction. he rattles the whole six, fox news, by going after them, when you talk to his advisers, they expected fox to come back. fox did. ailes and trump connected today. so you see trump using confrontedation, using the power of his personally to try to create situations that work for his use in the campaign. he doesn't back away. usually most politicians they back away from confrontation. >> as always, we appreciate your reporting in joining us tonight. >> thank you. it has been one year by michael brown's killing in ferguson,

. >> in this together, a thousand marchers converged on ferguson to mark one year since michael brown's death. the newspaper had to later print this cover after you see the peaceful demonstrations did have a violent turn, gunfire breaking out late last night on the city streets a. suspect authorities say opened fire on police was critically wounded when authorities say officers returned fire. despite last night's flash of
6:36 pm
violence, today the story out of ferguson was peaceful protests and civil disobedience. earlier today dozens arrested outside ohrt of what they call racist law practices. both identified's a part of the black lives matter campaign or movement, which has been gaining a lot of traction in sfergson following that shooting dret of michael brown. >> that tragedy may not have made news in and of itself as an incident but the activism and protest that spring out of it. especially the black lives movement is demanding that issue could not be ignored anymore.
6:37 pm
at the end of the day, protestors in the streets of fergson and elsewhere around the nation argue inequities which long existed in our criminal justice system are simply too great to gloss oefr. take this statistic, african-americans are four times more likely to be arrested for pot possession, even though they've used pot at the same exact rate as might r white americans. in large part, because of the war on drug, our prison population has skyrocketed over the years, more than quad zrupled since 1980 alone, against those inequity, we often operate in a system where police are simply not usually prosecute fodder any kind of an duty shooting. now, those are facts, that's that can be debated. but the black lives matter campaign has been saying is that those issues must be a larger part of the national discussion and today it has 23 u.s. based
6:38 pm
can't cheers this past week it reached as many as 22 million people alone. it's changing politics in america. in 2009, 26% to the this was a problem. now in 2015, half of americans say it is an issue. it is not going away. over and over again, this new movement. this black lives matter campaign appears to be forcing the issue into the discussion whether people want to have it or fought. in fact, it's a discussion that even made it brief lie into the first gop debate as well as into that bernie sanders event this weekend in seattle. >> thank you, seal, for being one of the most aggressive cities in the united states of
6:39 pm
ameri america. >> if you do not listen to us, your event will be shut down right now. >> you know what, "wall street journal" poll. >> okay. sorry. hold on. >> i will answer your question. i was told about -- >> a couple more minutes and then we're going to get -- >> yes, black lives matter. [ applause ] . >> many in the black lives movement and beyond believe overly aggressive police officers targeting yug african-americans is the civil rights issue of our time. do you agree? >> so for a movement that's not formally funded, it doesn't have a big headquarters in washington, d.c. or registered lobbyists. it's a lot of momentum. surely a lot of this campaign is
6:40 pm
propelled by tragedies, it is also moving the needle a lot. where does black lives matter go from here? joining us tonight is alicia carza, co-founder of the black lives matter movement. thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you for having me. >> when you look out here during the anniversary and across some of that impact that i just showed, how would you assess the impact of the movement and speaking for yourself as one of the organizers, its part of the goal to shape electorate politics and what the candidates are say sfg. >> i think first and foremost we have to act knowledge if it wasn't for young people standing up in ferguson as they're doing right now, this conversation would be very different. to be honest with you, black lives matter both as a network and i think as a growing movement across the world that is demanding the respect and ticket for black people in this country so that all people can live better lives is really at a
6:41 pm
turning.and frankly we are here to make sure our communities tonto to be safe. we are here to make sure our communities have the things that we need. we are here to make sure that anti-black racism is eliminated once and for all. certainly, just a few months conversations about race in america and, in fact, we were being cold that we lived in a post-racial society and what has been exposed is that that certainly not only is true, but that the lives of black folks, black americans, black immigrants, black people all over the country have been unfairly targeted for demise. that's what we're aiming to stop. >> looking at those candidates for president, what should they say and do in your view to meet the demand and the concerns of this movement? >> el with, certainly, it's important that they acknowledge first and foremost whether or not they believe that black lives matter and we've seen all
6:42 pm
of the major candidates, at least on the democratic party side saying as much. but the reality is we have to go a lot farther. we don't just want to hear a fancy slogan. we want to know, what will you do to ensure that black lives matter? what are you willing to risk? what are you willing to implement? and what are you willing to clang to ensure that no long will we live in a country every 28 hours a black person is murdered by police vigilantes and security guards according to malcolm x cross roots movement. >> in your view then is it incumbent on candidates and leaders to answer those questions as you put it or is this ultimately a model that will have explicit demands, that groups are scoring votes and making explicit demands? we saw organizers saying one of the demands will be independent investigations of police brutality tan having local vas do it themselves, what is your view on those two approachs? >> you know, i think what's
6:43 pm
important to be mindful of is that there have been demands for a long time now. and it's now that folks are turning their attention to asking, what are the policy solutions? what are the policy implementations we're going to be leading here? and i think what we need to be mindful of is that the candidates are proactive in thinking about what is it that they plan to move in the same way they give us the package of issues that they're going to be working on when they take office? this issue needs to be one of them and they need to be putting forward proactive proposals. >> let me ask you what do you sa i to the criminal or concern of shutting down a candidate's event or disrupting a bernie sanders event is not politically effective sh. >> what i would say is power concedes nothing without demand. it never has, it never will. so it's important we push to ensure our issues are at the forefront. certainly had we not been
6:44 pm
disrupting, had we not been pushing. had we not expected business as usual, we wouldn't be having this conversation now. >> alicia garza, i want to thank you for telling us about some of your work. >> thank you so much for having us. there has been a rash of residents in this country. they're happening to a spec and disturbing demographic. >> that story and a heaping helping of some ironic mug shots is straight ahead. ko you don't know "aarp." he's staying in shape by keeping his brain healthy and focused with aarp's staying sharp. with engaging online games developed by the top minds in brain science, and exercise and stress reduction tips that can help impact brain health, so he's ready for the real possibilities ahead. if you don't think top of my game when you think aarp, then you don't know "aarp". find more surprising possibilities and get to know us at aarp.org/possibilities

most states make it an elected position meaning someone runs and campaigns for it. you vote them in. when you vote that person in, he or she is the top legal officer of that whole state. they're in charge of upholding the law him so in the state of utah, this is the country. attorney general. he assumed office in 2013, after the guy holding office before him, this guy, resigned after sebing less than a year on his post. >> that is because of this. >> that photo you are looking at is a mug shot t. guy on the right is the former ag and the guy next to him is the previous ag. he served if you that you for 12 years. last summer both of them were arrested and booked in a salt lake county jail in connection with a guy norm mus fbi investigation into bribery from their time as a top law enforcement officials. as foshler attorney generals in the state of utah the state is not charging that they both, is
6:50 pm
now charging they both took hundreds of thousands in giftsz and continuedbutions all in exchange for favorable treatment. now they pled not guilty last month. if convicted, theyvibtsed, they a prison erterm of up to 30 yea. in the great state of colorado, there is a weird story circulating about the sitting attorney general. she is reportedly being accused by the head of the republican party of blackmail. >> did you blackmail or in any way threaten him? >> no, i did not. >> he's lying? >> yes. >> steve howe says kaufman former congressman tom can krad owe and becky mizell said they would out him for cheating on his wife. something he denies. >> he had something for legal liability. and that was the context in which the relationship came up.
6:51 pm
>> kaufman says they confronted house about a pattern of lies. >> do you feel that you've lost credibility to the point that in the wake of all this you should resign? >> no, i don't. >> no, i don't is what she says there. days after the republican party accuses the attorney general of blackmail, he changes his story. >> a week later, state republican party chair steve house says all's good. >> absolutely affirming my support for cynthia kaufman as our attorney general. >> how do you say that after you accused her essentially of extortion just last week? >> actually, if you really read the concept, i never really accused anyone of extortion.
6:52 pm
>> it's an odd development, the republican party chair accusing him of blackmail, and he recants a week later. who knows what happens there. but in the great state of texas, we do know what happened to the a.g. he's sort of smiling. he was arrested on felony charges, booked in the jail where he was jailed briefly and released after posting a $35,000 bond. he is facing three criminal charges pertaining to what he did before he became a.g. a felony for not registering as an investment adviser but trying to act as one. his lawyers stating that he will plead not guilty and is looking forward to the opportunity to tell his side of the story. another notable thing about the case is that the texas a.g. is nine months into his gig. and so at the end of last week, it seemed that was enough

attorney general scandals for a while until we got this. pennsylvania's a.g., kathleen cane, it's her first term in the position. last week she was criminally charged in a leak case, there's her mug shot from her arrai arraignment this weekend. she's accused of illegally giving grand jury documents to a newspaper, the alleged goal to make a political rival look bad and cover up her actions with false testimony. she maintains her innocence, adding she will not be stepping down because doing that would be an admission of guilt. but it doesn't seem that her fellow democrats are as confident. some are calling on her already to step down. now in all these cases, it's important to remember each and every one of these attorneys general are innocent until proven guilty. but that said, it is amazing that so many people tasked with upholding the law are facing
6:54 pm
charges that they broke it. they are a part of a system that tells prosecutors to be part-time politicians and full-time political public servants. we obviously need high standards for all attorneys general, no question. but we may need a debate whether to change some of the standards to create an a.g. devoid of politics. not all of them are a good fit for a job that must be completely independent of politics. can a business have a mind? a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes faster than the speed of thought. can a business have a spirit? can a business have a soul?
6:55 pm

[ laughter ] >> that's awesome. >> good. tastes good. >> yeah. i like that. kind of like arugula. >> it's fresh. >> like arugula. that was american astronaut scott kelly auditioning maybe for the next season of "chopped". and that's about as excited as you'll see some astronauts get. they use a little bit of olive oil and vinegar to dress those lettuce leaves. so yes, lettuce. not wholly exciting on its own,
7:00 pm
but lettuce? space is a pretty big deal. 60 years ago we were trying to figure out how to get a person into space. and when we finally did, we were sending this up there as the astro meal plan. they are cherishing the lettuce, red romaine from their own farm stand. for us, let us consider the possibilities. i am out of puns. it is time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. tonight megyn kelly had something to say about donald trump after everything he had to say about her this weekend. >> i'm not sure i even quite know where to start with what's been going on with the trump campaign. >> she should really be apologizing to me, you want to know the truth. >> fire storm over donald trump's comments over fox news anchor megyn kelly. >> she asked me a very inappropriate question.
