that is "all in" for this evening. the rachel maddow show starts now. >> amazing work again. this series is stunning stuff, chris. thank you, chris. we have a couple of exclusives on the show tonight. stuff you won't hear anywhere else. we have a new special report on flint, michigan, tonight. if you have wondered how flint has been doing after the huge scrum of media attention they got a few months back when the country was briefly transfixed by that city getting lead poisoned by michigan state government. now we've gone back to flint. in our special report tonight, you'll see that what has happened there in the last few months and what is happening there right now is stuff that will surprise you. that is coming up tonight. we've also got exclusively some brand-new polling data in the presidential race, data that nobody else has got. we are debuting it here, hot off the presses tonight.

now, you may have seen yesterday that the polling group, ppp, public policy polling, they had a bunch of new polls out in swing states. and that swing state polling that they released last night basically looked terrible for donald trump. these are the polls that came out last night from ppp -- arizona, iowa, new hampshire, ohio, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. and in five of those six swing states, hillary clinton is beating donald trump. only in arizona did they find a trump lead. last night's ppp poll in arizona had trump up by four points in arizona. but even that is pretty good news for clinton. reasonably speaking, arizona maybe shouldn't be considered a swing state. president obama lost the state of arizona twice, each time by nine points. it's a very red state in presidential politics. so hillary clinton being down by four in arizona, while she's simultaneously leading in pennsylvania and ohio and iowa

and new hampshire and wisconsin, that is pretty good for the democrats right now. so ppp's swing state polls came out last night. you may have seen them. but ppp has also done a new national poll in the presidential race, which we have got exclusively right now and we are about to debut. you have not seen these numbers anywhere else. and these new national numbers from ppp, they are okay for hillary clinton, but they're not great. nationally, the top line results, when they asked, generally speaking, if the election for president was today, would you vote for the republican or democrat? the top line question, hillary clinton is ahead by one point, 45-44. if you add in minor party candidate choices from the libertarian party and the green party, then clinton's lead goes from one point to four points. she leads him 45-41, as long as

the libertarian and green party candidates are included as well. so, big picture, any lead is better than no lead. but a lead this small, one point head to head, four points including everybody, that's a lead that's so small it may be worrying for the clinton camp. so again we're debuting these numbers right now, the first time this data is being publicly released. this new national poll will be compared this evening with the other poll that came out a few hours ago. fox news has a poll tonight and that head-to-head poll is better news for hillary clinton, shows her up over donald trump by six points. here's the great thing, though, about having a first look at polling data specifically from ppp as we do tonight. because ppp is sort of eccentric is not the right word.

out of the box, that's the right phrase. they're not afraid to think outside the box. that's the way we'll put it. ppp is the polling company that is most likely to ask burning, if weird, questions that real people actually talk about and actually worry about, even if no other pollster wants to go there. for example, i know quite a few republicans who have patiently explained to me, in recent weeks and months, that, yes, it is insane that their party nominated donald trump to be their presidential candidate this year. a lot of republicans have said to me, what do you expect? the american electorate has been driven mad. insane by eight years of barack obama. what did you expect us to do? anecdotally in my own life, i've had conversations with republicans along those lines, not just in recent months and weeks, even in recent days. ppp, in this new national poll, they called the question on that, literally.

so leave hillary clinton out of it. is it true that this whole donald trump mess that the republican party's gotten themselves into, frankly, it's all obama's fault. is it the repellant power of barack obama as president that has driven the electorate to donald trump? you don't have to worry about that or discuss that without facts among your friends because now ppp has asked the question. quote, who would you rather was president -- barack obama or donald trump? turns out it is -- barack obama by a small landslide. barack obama by nine points. so attention all my republican friends, you can blame president obama for lots of things, you cannot blame him for donald trump. the country would much prefer barack obama to donald trump. it's just that republican primary voters decided that out of 300 million americans, this really was the man they most want to be the next president of

the united states. that is on you, republican party, that is not obama's fault. of course it's not going to be obama versus trump in this year's election. it will be hillary clinton versus donald trump. and in a clinton versus trump match-up, as opposite as those two candidates seem, as different as they are, the trump and clinton campaigns do have one shared challenge. and this new data that we have, exclusively from ppp tonight, shows that challenge very clearly. and it's basically this. both candidates, both donald trump and hillary clinton are really unfavorably viewed by most americans, both of them are. the proportion of voters nationwide who have an unfavorable opinion of donald trump in the new poll is 58%. for hillary clinton it's 54%. and when unfavorable numbers are so bad for both candidates, maybe that's depressing, but you know what, it's also something else.

because that is when you get cash money, jackpot polling data like this. this is truly amazing. are you ready for what i believe is the greatest polling question yet of the 2016 race? are you ready? i'm going to read it to you verbatim. this is exactly how it was asked for -- how it was asked for this nationwide poll of registered voters that we have got for the first time here tonight. are you ready? here it is. i am quoting directly. if the choices for president were democrat hillary clinton, republican donald trump, or a giant meteor hitting the earth, which would you choose? the percentage of americans who would choose hillary clinton in that circumstance is 43%. those who would choose trump, 38%, but the percentage of americans who would prefer a giant meteor to crash into the either instead of either of those two, that proportion is

13% of americans, which probably means the libertarian party should run a giant meteor careening toward the earth as their candidate because that might have a better shot than gary johnson at making it into the general election debates. that's a really good number. 13. only need 15 to get into the debate. my favorite part of this question, though, is actually the very last part of this result. a full 7% of americans say, given the choice of hillary clinton, donald trump, or a giant meteor hitting the earth, 7% of americans say, they're not sure which they would prefer. [ laughter ] who's not sure about a giant meteor hitting the earth? do you need to know more about the character of the giant meteor? do you need to know exactly where it's going to hit? do you need to know whether the meteor has been endorsed by the nra? is it pro-choice? 7% of americans say they're just not prepared to make the call between the meteor and either

candidate. and you know what, that may be as good an artifact as we will ever get from pollsters about the truly bamboozling effect of this year's remarkable presidential election. at least so far. today hillary clinton did events and fund raisers in blue state, california. her republican rival donald trump was also in a blue state, massachusetts this afternoon, did a fund-raiser in boston, about which bostonians were not very pleased. after his boflton fund-raiser, donald trump headed further north into another blue state, where barack obama won by 18 points the first time around and 15 points the next time. donald trump after his boston fund-raiser went to the great state of maine, where he was introduced as such. >> what a crowd this is. i think this is bigger than the republican convention a couple of months ago.

i heard -- i heard hillary clinton and elizabeth warren campaigni campaigning. you know elizabeth warren, right? >> that's a right-wing radio host introducing a donald trump event in bangor, maine today. just in case anybody wondered how the trump campaign was doing on the whole toning it down with the race stuff plan. the guy doing the war cry, making fun of native americans, then introduced the republican governor of the great state of maine, who is perhaps most nationally famous for claiming that one of maine's big problems is black drug dealers coming in from out of state to impregnate white girls. >> guys with the name of d-money, smoothie, shifty, from

connecticut, new york, they come up here, sell their heroin and go back home. half the time they impregnate a young white girl before they leave. >> instead of saying maine women, i said white women. if you go -- and i'm not going to apologize to the maine women for that. because if you go to maine, you'll see that we're essentially 95% white. if you want to make it racist, go right ahead. do whatever you want. >> i had to go screaming at the top of my lungs about black dealers coming in and doing the things that they're doing to our state. >> that's maine's republican governor, paul lepage, who appeared with donald trump in maine today, and who thinks of himself evidently as kind of a donald trump kindred spirit. >> thank you. it's a very great honor and a

humbling experience to be up here today to introduce and to introduce you to the next president of the united states, donald trump. many people say we're a lot alike. he's a little bit shy, but i'm working on him. >> what a group. what a group. ♪ ♪ >> so beautiful. so beautiful to see. i'll tell you. so beautiful to see. i want to thank our governor, because our governor -- i call him ours -- because he's a great, great guy. respected all over the country and we really love it, thank you, paul. >> about that respected all over

the country thing, here's something else that we've got exclusively tonight that you won't see anywhere else. took us months to get this, but we finally did. paul lepage is actually one of the least popular governors in the country. by last summer, the situation in maine, particularly around his governorship and his various gaffes and offending people, it got tense enough that there was talk of impeaching him last summer. in the middle of that impeachment scrum about paul lepage, he decided, you know what, never mind you with your impeachment, if you want me to go, i'll just go. >> if the people of maine want me, i'll do the job. if they don't want me, just ask me to leave, you don't have to impeach me. >> there was a woman who asked you to resign. >> there was 1.3 million people. so far i've only got four people that have written me wanting me to resign. >> that was governor paul lepage saying, just ask me to leave,

you don't have to impeach me. he said only four people had written to him, demanding his resignation. if the people of maine want me to go, write me alerletters andl go. we filed a freedom of information act request, asking to see if anyone in maine took him up on his offer. asking a simple question, right, did the governor ever receive more than those four letters asking him to quit when he said publicly that he would quit if enough mainers told him that he should? it took paul lepage's office nine months to answer that question for us. we were a little miffed. nine months. how hard could this be to answer? we wanted to know how many people sent him a letter. you just have to count things that are already in your office. why did that take so long? we got the letters and a couple people did write to him.

now we know why it took so long. and this is just the letters, it turns out, that came in, in the first month, after paul lepage asked for letters from the people from the state of maine to tell him if they wanted him to resign. by our count, more than 1,800 people, just in that first month, did actually take -- do you want me to keep going? did take time to write to him and ask him to resign. just in the first month after he asked. we don't even have the letters that came in after the first month. this is just what came in, in that first month. it's interesting. going through them, they are heart felt letters, polite letters. there are a few rude letters. there's a lot of hand-written letters. most of them, though, are very short and polite and to the point. here's one. dear governor -- do we have this one?

there we go. dear governor, please resign. we've pixelated the signature. it's a guy who signed his name, a resident of mid coast maine. this one from e-mail, you have requested the opinion of the maine people in regards to you resigning as the governor of this state. my opinion is, a very strong yes. thank you for allowing me to express my choice. and so, thank you, freedom of information act. thank you, people of maine for being polite and mostly not obscene in your epic tide of instant disapproval of your governor when he asked what you thought. and republican presidential candidate donald trump may see a well respected governor, but take that with a grain of salt. from a candidate who thinks the place he needs to be campaigning right now, of all places, is the state of maine. lots to get to tonight. stay with us. ? ha, no, i switched to geico and got more.

australians, pretty dubious as well. one of the places where mr. trump actually fares the best is canada. in canada, only 80% of canada expressed no confidence in donald trump's capacity for global leadership. globally speaking, that's actually a pretty good job. our actual president was in canada today for a day of meetings with the canadian prime minister and the mexican president. president obama then became the first u.s. president since ronald reagan to address a joint session of the canadian parliament. >> democracy's not easy. it's hard. living up to our ideals can be difficult even in the best of times, and it can be harder when the future seems uncertain. or when in response to legitimate fears and frustrations, there are those who offer a politics of us versus them. a politics that scapegoats

lead poisoning disaster that happened to the city of flint, because of a reckless mistake made by the administration of rick snyder, by state employees who reported directly to him. in flint, mothers and fathers told us directly about the skin issue ra-- rashes they had themselves. they told us about the everyday job of searching for drinking water for themselves and their families. it remains almost unreal that a good sized american city doesn't have drinking water. it's additionally unfathomable that they still don't today. the snyder administration poisoned the town and wrecked the pipes in the town more than two years ago. but in flint, that just means they're in year three of this disaster. the injury in flint is vast and the recovery has been very, very slow. this is the reality of this

american city. poisoned at the hands of an administration that remains in power today, in the richest nation on earth, the snyder administration is still in power. but the americans who live in flint, michigan, they still can't drink their water. their pipes still haven't been replaced. but some things have changed in flint since we did that town hall. a few days ago, the epa announced that water filters fitted onto the faucets, they said they make the water safe to drink for everyone. there had previously been a federal warning in place that said it was okay for everyone else to drink filtered water but kids and pregnant women shouldn't. the epa said a few days ago, that kids and pregnant women can drink water from the tap in flint if that water is properly filtered. and you know, this isn't nothing. the ultimate goal in flint is still to replace the pipes that the snyder administration wrecked because those wrecked pipes are what's leaching lead

into the water. but in the meantime, until that apparently politically impossible job is done, it would make life in flint easier if people could drink from the faucet at home, instead of having to get every drop of water every day out of a plastic bolth. but that instruction to use a filter, it's not just to wave a magic wand and it happens. it's an endeavor to get filters on every faucet on every home, to make sure they're properly installed, and to make sure they're using the filter correctly and changing the fimter on time. they don't last forever. you have to change them out after a certain period of time. with 30,000 roughly occupied homes in flint, we're talking tens of thousands of filters that need to be present, fitted, properly used and changed

indefinitely. the health of flint now depends on that granular, complicated, house-to-house, faucet by faucet undertaking. as we've seen so often in flint, it is the people of flint who are taking on that gargantuan task themselves. god bless them. over this weekend, some local volunteers brought our producer with them to see how this painstaking house to housework is going even now to try to save this poisoned town. >> we're in the neighborhood, making sure everybody has water filters and faucets. >> i don't have one. >> you don't have a filter? i mean, a filter? >> at all? >> you know, they said on the news last night you got a filter, you can start drinking that water, and i know they're lying. there ability no way in hell you drink that water just that quick. [ laughter ] >> we went over a year of making

kool-aid for our son and for his friends, making coffee, cooking with it. so -- and there's no way to go back. >> so when you want to run the cold water through it, you turn it down like this. when you get that green light. >> so all you need is a replacement filter? >> right. >> if it's turned -- have it turn -- have the light turned red yet? >> yeah. >> when the light turn red, you have to change the filter. >> oh. >> i use bottled water when i make a dish when it comes to potatoes or noodles, i used bottled water. filtered is filtered. >> they told us two years ago that the water was safe when they switched from the detroit water to the flint water. so the level of trust is not there. do i see that changing?

no. how do i know? because every single day at our church, we are servicing a minimum of 150 to 500 and some cars per day. >> when we test, it was down to zero. so even knowing that, it's hard, though, to just open the faucet and take a drink out of it. because we were poisoned for so long. >> the trust is not going to be there, until we see the pipes dug up, replaced in the homes, hot water heaters are replaced in the homes. when we see that, the trust will come back. but not until then. and not until we stop with the theatrics of somebody coming in, drinking a glass of water. >> when they replace the pipes

and the hot water heaters, then the trust will come back, not with these theatrics. what she means there, first of all, governor rick snyder, hauling away flint jugs of water to drink at home and in his office and then president obama last month, drinking a glass of flint water when he took a visit there himself. even as life for thousands of families in flint is still lived one bottle of water at a time. you heard a bunch of people say there, they do not trust the water for more than washing d h dish dishes, taking showers. they're not giving it to their kids. they tell us they were poisoned for so long while everybody in authority told them it was safe, that now, frankly understandably, they feel like they can't trust the water and they can't trust what they are told about the water. not until the pipes that were ruined, that have been putting the lead in the water all this time, not until the pipes come out of the ground and new pipes take their place. the good news in flint, finally, in year three of the crisis,

they have finally sent flint actual money to dig up and replace the first few thousand of the 9 or 10,000 pipes that might need replacing. when the city asked contractors to bit on doing that work, the initial estimates were much, much, much higher than flint was expecting. flint officials met this week with contractors again, trying to get a better deal for the city. they asked the contractors to submit new bids by tomorrow. presumably what they're hoping for is more affordable bids. just as we were told in flint this weekend, flint's mayor karen weaver knows she has to get those pipes out of the ground. she has to get new pipes into flint if people are ever going to trust their water again. it's an enormous job, and forgive me, but she is not helped at all in that job by the stubborn refusal and the excuse-making and the inexcusable, inexplicable, infuriating delay by state lawmakers and the governor and congress, to help get the

enormous job done. yeah, no hurry, right? the people of flint did not bring this on themselves. they didn't do anything wrong here. through note fault of their own, they were poisoned by their state's government screwing something up. but yet it's still basically on them. it's on flint residents themselves to go door to door, even now, to find old people who still after all this time don't have a water filter on their faucet, to tell people how to change their water filters that never have. it's still on flint residents themselves to figure out if they can get the pipe replacement done. you know, sorry we poisoned you, flint, now you figure it out. the irony was not lost on flint this week when the water in a congressional office in d.c. tested a little bit high for lead. not toxic waste high the way it happens in flint, but a little higher than recommended. congressional staffers were notified they would be getting bottled water immediately. one congressman from florida is

demanding answers stat, asap, this is an emergency. when the threat of disease in yo your coffee cup, it grabs your attention. back to the crisis in flint, the "new york times" editorial asks if the governor wouldn't do what it takes to fix, the army corps of engineers should be sent in. when the work is done, send the bill to the state of michigan. they did it, they should pay for fixing it. if they don't have the will to do it, the country will get it done and bill the state of michigan. at the time, i think a lot of people thought the paper might be getting ahead of things. but we're now in year three of the flint lead poisoning crisis and the pipes are still in the ground with no one trusting the new promises about the filtered water. and donations of bottled water drying up. local pastors handling donations of water, say their only

solution is for people to pray for some way out of this. since the politicians can't fix it, maybe god can. bottled water is drying up. no idea when flint will have plain, safe water out of the tap like the rest of the country and like they used to have, with some families just now getting their first filters, with countless others getting them fit properly, or are told for the first time when they need to change the filters, three years into this. and the whole country, led to believe by the initial flurry of media attention, that flint got saved. at least a little bit. with those door-to-door bottled water deliveries. remember that, got all the media attention months ago? the state never got it together to do that again. except for that one week when every media in the country was paying attention to flint. in front of the cameras, they arranged door-to-door deliveries for that one week and then they never did it again. what happened in flint is not

flint's fault. what happened in flint was done to flint by their state government. looking at how hard flint residents have fought for themselves and what they have been through and how tough they are, i would not put it past the people of flint to get their own town fixed on their own. but for now, not fixed. nobody is sending the army corps of engineers. anyone checked your filter for you, sir? oh, do you not have a filter yet? just tonight, the local kelly medical society in genesee county announced that they think pregnant women and young children should not drink the water, even if it is through a filter. the doctors are worried about random lead floating around in flint's water system from its destroyed pipes which haven't been replaced. so county level are warning that pregnant women, nursing moms and young kids, do not drink the filtered water again, even though the epa said they could.

meanwhile, the pipes are rotting in the ground through another summer right now. i wish i had better news to report about flint, but i don't. it's infuriating. where you goin we've got that thing! you know...diarrhea? abdominal pain? but we said we'd be there... woap, who makes the decisions around here? it's me. don't think i'll make it. stomach again...send! if you're living with frequent, unpredictable diarrhea and abdominal pain, you may have irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea or ibs-d - a condition that can be really frustrating. talk to your doctor about viberzi. a different way to treat ibs-d. viberzi is a prescriptn talk to your doctor about viberzi. medication you take every day that helps proactively manage both diarrhea and abdominal pain at the same time. so you stay ahead of your symptoms. viberzi can cause new or worsening abdominal pain. do not take viberzi if you have or may have had pancreas or severe liver problems, problems with alcohol abuse, long-lasting or severe constipation, or a blockage of your bowel or gallbladder. if you are taking viberzi, you should not take medicines that cause constipation. the most common side effects of viberzi include constipation, nausea,

this week marks one year since the supreme court decided it was unconstitutional to block gay people from getting married. that was a year ago. but still in the last couple days, the great state of mississippi felt compelled to tell his court personnel and court clerks that they do actually have to treat gay people like other people when they come in to get married. it takes a while. even after a nationally

applicable ruling about what is constitutional is what is not constitutional. even a really clear national ruling, it takes a while to ricochet around the country. it takes a while for unconstitutional laws to get challenged and for them to fall. but inevitably, in state after state, fall they do. fall they must. even in mississippi. and that process, which we've spent a year going through on civil rights, that process is about to play out on abortion rights. two days ago, the united states supreme court ruled unequivocally that two of the benchmark measures that republican legislatures and governors have implemented over the past decade to block access to abortion and shut down clinics, those measures are clearly unconstitutional. just in the past five years, more than 160 clinics have been shut down in red states across this country. well, starting now in fits and starts, but starting now, some of those laws are about to start

falling. which ones fall first? which ones are already going or gone? and how is this going to go from here on out? joining usnorthup. she's president and ceo for the center for reproductive rights, which spearheaded this ruling this week, which brought this case that has resulted in this landmark change for abortion rights jurisprudence. nancy, congratulations. thanks for being here. >> thank you. >> are you -- i imagine that you're very pleased with the ruling. did you have any idea it was going to be this sweeping? >> we thought it should be, because we thoughts the facts were with us, the law was with us, but we are over the moon. i mean, this is a complete and total win. it changes the tide. it pushes back on what we've seen, the hundreds of laws that have passed. these restrictions on access to abortion that have been shutting down clinics. and so, you know, this is day one of turning around exactly what you're saying. we're going to make sure that these laws get off the books. >> obviously, the texas laws directly are struck down

immediately. what should we look for in terms of pacing? do you have in mind sort of a first tier, second tier, third tier in terms of vulnerable laws or laws that are clearly unenforceable now and sort of what the timing will be? >> well, we've already seen, you know, right now, in effect. you know, mississippi was trying to get their law has been politicked, one of their trap laws, they're trying to get the supreme court to review that. they said, no. wisconsin, same thing. the supreme court said no. and the alabama attorney general dropped their ability, or their decision that they were going to try to defend their trap law there. so you're already seeing action. there are a lot of cases that are going on around the nation. i mean, we have, over a dozen cases that are going on now. we're going to be right back into those courts saying, hey, here's the new ruling from the supreme court, and you need to follow it. and we're going to be looking across the nation to see what else we need to be suing on. and it's not just about filing lawsuits, because it's also about the public putting pressure on their elected officials. they now have a clear decision that says this tactic of passing

so-called, you know, health and safety laws, was totally bogus. and they can -- you know, even this year, before the decision, the oklahoma governor didn't veto -- did not sign a law that had been passed in that state, because of the pressure that was put on, even an anti-choice governor the oklahoma. so it's important for us to go in court, but it's also important for people to look at what's happening in their state and say, enough is enough. >> part of the reason i raised the allegory of the same-sex marriage ruling is because i think about the bar around those issues. i think about gay and lesbian legal advocaticy groups. i think about the willingness of big expensive law firms to do pro bono work and put their associates working on cases like that, civil rights cases. are there institutional or structural challenges for the reproductive rights bar, for legal advocates in this field, if you are going to now be pursuing -- you're going to be pushing on an open door, but you may need to be bringing cases in dozens of states around the

country and all of these different kind of laws and figure out which trap laws are actually susceptible to this ruling. >> right. well, what has been a sort of benefit of going to the brink at the supreme court at this time, and luckily, again, we were saved from the brink, is that we have had unbelievable support from the private bar. so, you know, there were 45 amicus briefs, friends of the court brief, bringing perspectives into the court. and the majority of those were filed by, you know, major leading law firms in the united states. so they're ready for the challenge. they were excited about being part of this case. and so we're going to have the firepower to be able to go after these state laws. >> nancy northup, president and ceo for the center for reproductive rights, which is the prime mover that made this happen in the court this week. you really did, you not only changed jurisprudence on this, you absolutely changed decades of political trajectory on this issue with what you did this week. congratulations. >> well, with thank you. >> good to see you. >> thanks. >> thank you. all right. stay with us. we'll be right back. with the right steps,

first of all, can i thank the gentleman for his generous remarks. >> as my right thournl friend has said -- >> i certainly join my thourhone friend. >> the honorable gentleman is right. >> david cameron was in the house of commons today. as you might imagine, there were several questions for him. but it all seemed very quintessentially british, very civilized. and then this happened. >> i thank the prime minister for that answer. last thursday, mr. speaker, was a rejection of the status quo. a status quo that clearly isn't delivering. there are now 13.5 million people living in poverty in britain. the prime minister has two months left. will he leave a one-nation legacy. >> where i would agree with the right honorable gentleman is, of course, we need to do more to

tackle policy. we need to do more to spread wealth and opportunity. but to try to pretend that last thursday's vote was a result of the state of the british economy is complete nonsense. we all have to reflect on our role in the referendum campaign. i know the honorable gentleman says he put his back into it. all i'd say is i would hate to see him when he's not trying. >> things from there, uh, escalated, after labor party opposition leader jeremy corbyn pressed the prime minister to apologize to british children and families living in poverty. >> there are 300,000 fewer people in relative poverty since 2010, half a million fewer people in absolute poverty since 2010. look, if he's looking for excuses about why the side he and i were on about the referendum, frankly, he should look somewhere else. and i have to say to the honorable gentleman, he talks about job insecurity and my two months to go. it might be in my party's

interest for him to sit there. it's not in the national interests and i would say, for heaven's sake, man, go. >> british prime minister david cameron is himself going. he announced his resignation last week in the wake of the leave the eu vote. and then he moved the timetable for him leaving from october up to september. tomorrow we're going to find out which candidates have officially thrown their hats into the ring to replace him. you know how it takes months for to us figure out who the potential nominees are in one of our parties. they do it all in one day. cameron's conservative party started accepting nominations today. it ends at noon british time tomorrow, which is 7:00 a.m. eastern time. that said, jeremy kcorbyn is being blamed for losing the brexit vote. more than two-thirds of his own leadership team quit in a span of just three days. members of his party in parliament took a though confidence vote on jeremy corbyn as their leader yesterday. the vote was devastating. 172 votes against him, 40 votes

for him. for him to stay on as labor party leader. despite that, though, he might not be going. he released a statement after that vote saying, quote, i was democratically elected leader of our party for a new kind of politics by 60% of labor members and supporters. and i will not betray them by resigning. his leadership team wants him gone, his second in command has called on him to resign, the leader of his country just yelled at him to go, for heaven's sake. he says he is not going. but he says, i won't betray them by resigning. but what if they quit him, though? at the end of the prime minister's question time today, prime minister david cameron drew that very distinction. >> i've never felt greater support from my party and i'm leaving. and i've never seen an opposition leader with less support, and he's staying. it's a very -- as -- you know, as someone about to enter the political graveyard, perhaps i could misquote my favorite band and say, let's meet at the cemetery gates. >> five points for the smiths fe
