2:02 am
for an american president since 2011. queen elizabeth made a subtle criticism of president trump's america first platform. >> as we face the new challenges of the 21st century, the anniversary of d-day reminds us of all that our countries have achieved together. after the shared sacrifices of the second world war, britain and the united states worked with other allies to build an assembly of international institutions, to ensure that the horrors of conflict would never be repeated. what in the world has changed? we are forever mindful of the original purpose of these structures. nations working together to safeguard our hard won peace. >> keeping with the queen's remarks, prime minister theresa may is unscoring the importance ever not only the special relationship between the u.s.
2:03 am
and uk, but international institutions as well, which president trump often derides. she gifted the president a framed tight script draft of the atlantic charter, the declaration signed by winston churchill and president roosevelt in 1941 which set out common goals for the world and helped lay the ground work for the united nations and the world trade organization. first lady melania trump was given a tea set. earlier in the day queen elizabeth gifted trump a first' addition of winston churchill the world war. president trump is very unpopular in the united kingdom, as one group of protesters was able to show. the activist group led by donkeys projected president obama and president trump in stark contrast on to the uk's tower of london. it turned madam tou srussaud's

today larger and more vocal protests are expected, including one led by labor party leader jeremy corbyn. and you see the infamous baby trump blimp is ready to make a show outside of parliament. joining us now is richard engel. richard, good morning to you. thank you for joining us on authenticityingly enough, jeremy corbyn leading one of the protests today. we heard a couple of days ago the president said if jeremy corbyn were to become prime minister he would actually not want to share intelligence with jeremy corbyn. despite that and other insults
2:05 am
president trump has laid into in the last couple of days, it appears yesterday went off without an international incident. >> reporter: so, i'm here in trafalgar square. protests are just starting to gather. protesters could be in the tens of thousands over the course of the day. the trump baby blimp is just a few blocks away in parliament square. there's another feature here which is a centerpiece, a robotic statue of president trump on a golden commode. it speaks and says some of his signature catch phrases like you're fake news and no collusion. president trump is an object of ridicule here and if this protest is anything like the one almost a year ago in downtown london it will be a carnival-like atmosphere. the issues here are quite serious. this country is going through a
2:06 am
tremendous political transition. president trump will meet with prime minister theresa may who is leaving office just at the end of this week, so president trump is coming here, he had the formal portion much his reception yesterday meeting the royals, having the dinner banquet with the queen. today a much more political day with bigger protest, much more room for the president to get into trouble and to wade into politics that has so often upset the british people. >> richard, while we see obviously trump on that golden throne, we see an individual who seems he's a trump supporter. he has a trump 2020 t-shirt on as well. i'm wonder if you're seeing more of that as well. he also has an israeli flag. >> reporter: not really. he's one guy. he was around yesterday as well finding all the cameras, putting himself in. he was carrying a giant american flag. i don't think we'll see very large counter trump, pro trump
2:07 am
protests today. this one individual, he was here yesterday as well. i think you'll see him a lot in front of the cameras. but certainly outnumbered. >> he knows how to strategically position himself. star witness in watergate will return to capitol hill as democrats consider the path forward an impeachment proceedings against president trump. the house judiciary committee will call john dean to testify as part pachbl on the mueller report which chronicled the pressure that president trump put on his own white house counsel don mcgahn. 46 years ago this month dean appeared before the senate watergate committee where he read a 245 page statement, alleging the nixon white house obstructed justice over the break in at democratic nags head kwaurs and his discovery that president nixon was involved in the cover-up. >> i began by telling the
2:08 am
president that there was a cancer growing on the presidency. and if the cancer was not removed the president himself would be killed by it. i also told him that it was important that this cancer be removed immediately because it was growing more deadly every day. the meeting with the president that afternoon was a tremendous disappointment to me because it was quite clear the cover up as far as the white house was concerned was going to continue. >> dean is set to appear on a panel this monday alongside former u.s. attorneys and legal experts to discuss the obstruction of justice allegations in the mueller report which is part of the strategy to shift focus from o procedural battles. most persons don't understand executive privilege or contempt. demonstrate want to shift the focus on what they see as the more damning reports. >> they want americans to see

>> pete buttigieg said democrats were too quick to attack al franken. >> should al franken be pushed from the senate >> it was his decision to make. the way that we basically held him to a higher standard than gop does their people has been used against us. >> do you think he should have been pushed to leave? >> again, it was his decision. >> i'm not asking about his decision. should the other members of the democratic caucus in the senate starting at the top, chuck schumer down and the other people who pushed him to get out, were they right or wrong? >> i think it's not a bad thing we hold ourselves to a higher standard. >> were they right to push him out of the senate. >> i would not have applied that pressure at that time. . >> senator kirsten gillebrand's name was not invoked her
2:11 am
communication director responded. she was the first democratic senator to call for franken's resignation. >> he had eight credible allegations against him. a sexual harassment for groping. two of them since he was a senator. and the eighth one that came out was a congressional staffer. and i had a choice to make, whether to stay silent or not. whether to say it's not okay with me. and i decided to say that. >> stale head house democrats move to hold attorney general bill barr and congress secretary wilbur ross in contempt. we'll explain why. and bring in legal analyst danny cevallos for that. amid escalating pressure from the white house, mexican authorities are reportedly cracking down on the surge of migrants heading to the u.s.. those stories and a check on the weather when we come right back.

2:17 am
of arms out to arrest people but that's not realist jig. congress has the foresubpoena but only kind of because ultimately it requires another branch to enforce that. in this particular case, the key is, congress wants these documents from the executive branch in order to determine whether or not the proposed change to the sentence question was not to enforce the law but instead motivated to help white and other similarly situated voters. >> holding them in contempt they are building this paper trail, building case to take this up to the supreme court if they want to. >> exactly. . simultaneously there's also a battle going on in the actual courts as this question is challenged as to whether or not it is a valid exercise of federal law, or if instead it exceeds, you know, these questions about census exceed the power one federal statute. >> the court has a case before it. they are weighing the

citizenship question census. does this political fight, the revelation a couple of days ago there's a political consultant who died and his daughter found the hard drive and this question was a way to help white republicans and disenfranchise minority voters. >> the case has been. briefed, but it is an interesting question of the law. if this was a valid exercise of legal authority, doe it matter that we now find out that it may have been motivated by some bad reason, which is, disadvantaging people of race, advantaging people of a particular color. but if it at its core a valid exercise of federal law, then it may not matter, which is a scary thought. >> danny cevallos, thank you. let's get a check on your weather now with nbc meteorologist bill karins. good morning, bill. >> good morning. still all the focus is on the flood zone. vice president pence is heading

president trump was able to find time to complain about one of the more frequent targets of his anger. after two hours on the ground the president tweeted this, just arrived in the uk. the only problem is that cnn is the primary source of news available from the u.s.. after watching it for a short while i turned it off. all negative and so much fake news. very bad for u.s. big ratings drop. wasn't owner at&t do something. the president continued. i believe that if people stopped using or subscribing to at&t they would be forced to make big changes at cnn. it's unfair with bad fake news. why wouldn't they act when the world watch cnn and. get a false picture of usa. both companies declined to comment on the matter. the president has long criticized the news network over the coverage him and his administration. he's also previously suggested boycotting companies he's had

2:35 am
joining us now from washington reporter for the hill julie manchester. what do you make of clyburn's walk back on impeachment. nancy pelosi sets the agenda feign get ahead of her you'll pay the price. >> it's as simple as that. not just nancy pelosi that has really distanced themselves from clyburn's comments. we saw steny hoyer said we're not even going to go there. i was struck by kathryn clark's comments when she said we should use impeachment as a process not necessarily an end game in all of this. by that she means that maybe investigations, the inquiries that come with impeachment should be the priority that democrats really keep in mind right now. remember democrats want to continue to keep investigating the president, whether it's on his finances or more importantly the mueller report.
2:36 am
they want to delve into what robert mueller necessarily couldn't delve into when he punted that issue to congress. you'll see more democrats push for more investigations. however, i think house democratic leadership, nancy pelosi in particular, is very cognizant of the fact that impeachment may not be politically feasible for democrats in the long run. even though president trump could easily be impeached in the senate, in the house i mean, in the senate it's a dead end. >> the judiciary committee's hearing and calling john dean to testify. really this turn that it seems as if they are making in that they want all americans to hear exactly what are in those 480 pages of the mueller report, ten instances of obstruction of justice that were laid out and details that go into that. what are they trying to gasoline from calling someone like john
2:37 am
dean to testify? >> i think they are trying to publicize this issue when really try to bring as much attention to this issue as possible. remember house democrats have struggled to get figures like attorney general barr or even don mcgahn or special counsel robert mueller to come testify. their strategy here is saying let's bring in a figure like john dean, someone who obviously has experience dealing with white house investigations in to give their own perspective and get more information that could be in democrats favor out of the mueller report and try to maybe spin that in a way that's favorable for democrats to the american public. like i said, democrats have struggled to get these high-profile figures that maybe are more current than john dean, so now i think they are just going to try to maybe get as much publicity as possible to shine a light on this. >> thanks for your insight this morning. chicago has endured it's most violent weekend of the year

apple and google while the ftc will oversee complaints about amazon and facebook. the first look into the companies doesn't appear the agencies opened formal investigations, but notes, quote, the scrutiny from washington could lead to years of headaches for the companies, raising the prospect of lawsuits to break up companies, hefty fines or new laws limiting their reach. the ftc and justice department declined to publicly comment ned. the doj and antitrust will have bipartisan hearings announced by the house judiciary house investigation which does not name any companies specifically. it is expected to be a, quote, top to bottom look at the concentration of power within the tech industry. this next story is unbelievable. last july a group of 37 migrant children in texas were left waiting in vans overnight to be
2:51 am
processed and reunited with their families. the children arrived at the isabelle dee tepgs center on a july afternoon last year with most spending at least 23 hours inside the vehicles. it was not until 39 hours later that the last child was reunited with their parents, 39 hours later. now, an employee for the bcfs health and human services, that's a government contractor, a nonprofit responsible for transporting these children, that organization said despite two notifications that they would be arriving i.c.e. officers kept to their regular schedule, leaving for the day while the parking lot was filled with children waiting to see their parents. that evening bcfs official voiced their frustration with the lack of preparation by i.c.e. and hhs according to emails obtained by nbc news. the emails pushed hhs in the middle of the night to try to resolve the situation according to two officials. an i.c.e. official called it
2:52 am
unusual adding dhs took immediate action to resolve the situation and the delays were resolved. >> i don't think you can call it overnight when you have 30 plus children or scores of children staying in vans awaiting to be reunified with their families. boldt of us are parents and i asked you could you imagine your child being operated from you and sitting in a van overnight not knowing what's going to be happening the next day. think about the july heat. >> hhs calls it unusual. it's unusual and it's inhumane. >> it's unbelievable. coming up, everybody, axios' mike allen has a look at this morning's one big thing. coming up on "morning joe," the president prepares to meet one-on-one with britain's outgoing prime minister as he and theresa may are minutes away from coming together days before she sets down. plus congressional democrats further map out their potential march towards impeachment

joining us from washington with a looks at axios a.m. is the co-founder of axios mike allen. hey, mike. >> good morning. >> what's the one big thing for the morning. >> so the acts yoes one big thing is the 2020 campaigns aren't ready for deep fakes. these are those videos that you can fake with a laptop using ai to make it look like very convincingly a candidate is saying or doing something incriminating or embarrassing that they didn't, as if the candidates don't say enough incriminating and embarrassing things. my colleague kava waddell out in the bay area called all 24 kprat tick campaigns, called the trump
2:57 am
campaign, bill weld campaign, another republican and found that they are sorely unprepared. >> it's interesting because these deep fakes seems like they're taking a page straight out of russian intelligence. this is exactly the sort of thing that kgb used to do to u.s. intelligence officers for as long as i think we can really remember. how seriously are presidential campaigns taking this threat of deep fakes and are they prepared to handle it? >> no, and that's a great point about the heritage of it. this is a modern take on it. we saw it with the recent speaker pelosi video that's just the beginning. you can do much more convincing ones. what we found from the campaigns was a lot of finger pointing. the campaigns say, oh, that's the democratic national committee's job. you call the dnc and they say that's ultimately up to the campaigns. somebody said department of homeland security, somebody else said the media, the trump campaign said the media distorts what we say anyway. we do a lot of checking.
2:58 am
we talked to a consultant who said they met with a number of campaigns and came away discouraged, said that they didn't seem serious about investing the resources it would take here. we're told what campaigns need to do is have a rapid response plan if you're tagged with one of these, they need to develop relationships with the social media companies so they can get a quick change if something is out there and they also need to constantly film their own candidate so that they can disprove it. we've always had campaigns track themselves, get their candidate when they're coming or going, but now you're going to need to get them in every public situation. >> as we've learned you can't rely on companies like facebook to step in and help. let's turn back to big tech. what are the risks for these tech companies now that you have the bipartisan judiciary committee investigation moving forward? >> we have been hearing a lot about tech companies for a long time, but this is a time to pay attention. this has really changed in the
2:59 am
last 72 hours. we've gone from pressure and threats to real activity and it's now clear that these companies are going to be tied up in these investigations for years. the most interesting point we have in an axios story that just posted that says for the tech companies the forecast is d.c. heat. the judiciary committee is going to ask for documents from a wide change of companies. what's interesting about this is this means the smaller companies who might be afraid to in public go up against these giants could put information that's very damaging. so this is another way that companies could really be tied up they will tell you it could hurt their chances to innovate and grow their businesses. consumers will say we need somebody watching, paying attention. >> mike allen, thanks for your time this morning. we will be reading axios a.m. in just a little while. sign up at sign upup.axios.coms
