find us on social media or @ari melber and we've posting artist in full length and youtube so you could find more if you want it. that is the end of our time. i wish you a safe weekend. keep it right on msnbc. good evening. i'm joy reid. well, today was yet another day when i'm going to tell you that this was the strangest day yet in the donald trump presidency. donald trump this afternoon invoked the name of george floyd. in the middle of a speech gloating about the latest unemployment numbers. and did he this just moments after he called on law enforcement whom we've been watching respond in some cases brutally to the protests over george floyd's murder by police, he called them in to dominate

the streets against the very same protesters. i find it hard to believe when i first heard from the producers of this hour about what donald trump said. you might too. so take a look at this truly bizarre moment. >> hopefully george is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that is happening for our country. this is a great day for him, it is a great day for everybody. it is a great day for everybody. this is a great, great day in terms of equality. it's really what our constitution requires and it is what our country is all about. >> and sorry, um, why would today be a great day for george floyd? who is very much dead. with four fired police officers charged with murder and accessory to murder and with no legislation passed this far, so far curbing police abuse or any other things that went into his death. why would today be a great day for george floyd? donald trump's speech wasn't

even focused on george floyd. it was largely focused on the new economic stata bragging the unemployment rate has dropped to 13%. 13% unemployment, as you may know, is still the highest rate since the great depression. nothing to brag about, mr. president. at the same time trump dismissed questions about how or if he plans to address systemic racism. when pressed, he said the solution to the problem of racism is a better economy. >> [ inaudible question ]. >> i'd like to say this is a very different thing. and by the way, what happened to our country and what you now see has been happening is the greatest thing that could happen for race relations, for the african-american community, for the asian america, for the

hispanic america and women and everything. >> what is your plan. >> because rur country is so strong. and that is our plan. >> employment went up by .1% and african-americans it wasn't up by 5%. how is that a victory. >> you are something. >> thank you very much. [ applause ] >> this comes as a new abc news poll finds that only 32% of americans approve of trump's response to floyd's killing. while a whopping 66% disapprove. the poll shows that a vast majority of americans, 74% say george floyd's death is a part of a broader problem of racialin justice in this country and only 26% view it as an isolated incident. a big change of how that question was polled a few years ago when we heard of the movement called black lives matter. and on the day of trump's

bizarre, weird, braggadocios, muriel bowser took the fight against trump and william barr's militarization of d.c. right in trump's front yard. the mayor had the street leading to the white house painted with the words "black lives matter." that is the cross street above the intersection where park police and national guard troops forcibly cleared peaceful protesters on monday night with teargas. not only that, but mayor bowser renamed that portion of the street black lives matter plaza while demanding that the troops leave her city. i'm joined now by donna edwards, former congresswoman and steve schmidt former republican and political strategist. i'm going to let you respond to the great day for george floyd by the president. you first, donna.

>> i'm tell you, when we think the president can't do any worse. this is worse. he's really not said anything to give voice to the pain of george floyd's family and at seeing him murdered like that. he hasn't given voice to the pain and anger being felt not just by black america but all america. and here he does -- he invokes george floyd's name in the middle of touting an economy that still is the worst that we've seen since the great depression. it is really despicable. and i want all of those millions of people who are out there on the streets, i want them to get their pens and to register to vote. because it is imperative that this interloper be removed from the white house. it is imperative and november can't come soon enough. >> and i know steve schmidt you're part of one group that is

trying to make that happen. the lincoln republicans. when you think about the kind of presidents that we've had in this country, the oratory, the ability to speak to our pain, whether you agreed or not, to speak across the party lines of the pain being feet across the country, for donald trump to use the name of george floyd, to say it is a great day for him because we're at near depression level unemployment, your thoughts. >> when we think about all of the great sweep of american history, joy, there has befr an a leader who has failed more spe spectacularly history's test than donald trump. when we look at the year 2020, this is when it all unraveled. the country by the narrowest of margins elected a reality tv show host, a new york city real estate con man, pt barnham and

united states is the epicenter of coronavirus death and infection and that didn't have to be as a result of american economy is shattered with 40 million unemployed. this week we saw the attorney general acting as an interior minister, ordered an attack by law enforcement on peaceful protesters, exercising their first amendment right speech outside of the white house. they were beaten, trampled, pepper sprayed and gassed, including an episcopal priest so donald trump had previously been hiding in the bunker and apparently his ego was wounded by reports of that could walk across the street to saint john's the church of presidents not for prayer or interspeks or to talk about forgiveness or unit but to hold the bible upside down in an act of sacrilege while at the same time calling for the united states

military to be turned lose on the american people in the most ill liberal sentiments uttered out of the mouth of the president of the united states. so we stand at a dangerous hour in this country where civilian and military relations have been put into crisis by this president where he sought to deploy the world's most lethal combat force into the streets of america. to turn them on to the people that they are sworn to protect and to defend. but we've seen pushback. we've seen the righteous anger of the american people. we've seen the power of our rights and the first amendment. we have seen the integrity and fidelity to the constitution of the highest ranking retired officers and secretaries of defense who understand the importance of the american military is an institution. what donald trump said about george floyd today is something that could only come out of the

month of a sociopath. somebody who has no respect for the sanctity of human life. a man was murdered. he was murdered on a image on tv that we've now all seen. life was snuffed out for eight torturous minutes. and for donald trump to tell us that it's a good day for that man and his family is despicable and amoral and it shows the type of man and the type of character we have sitting in the most powerful office in the world with access to the most powerful military and the most powerful weapons and it should be frightening for all of us as donald trump continues his assault on american liberty and american freedom and democracy. the protesters are fighting for those things. this is trump who is threatening them. >> well said. let me give one more person a word on this. let's listen to former vice president joe biden who also responded to donald trump's bizarre words today.

>> george floyd's last words, i can't breathe, i can't breathe, have echoed across this nation and quite frankly around the world. for the president to try to put any other words in the mouth of george floyd i frankly think is despicable. >> well said mr. vice president. let's on to donald trump's approval rating. according to the "new york times," his approval ratings are slipping where he can't afford to lose them, among evangelicals and the cornerstone of his political base is problematic and if they do turn out in large numbers analysts said there is not enough of them to lift him to victory. one more piece, this is a poll in may that shows donald trump's support among evangelicals declined 15 percentage points since march before the church photo op in which he held a bible upside down and didn't bother to open it to see what is

in side. it is at 62%, down from 77%. but donna, i still look at that and that is white evangelicals, let be clear because he doesn't have the support of black evangelicals. but when you look at the fact that he has two-thirds of evangelicals, at least before he held the bible upside down, what does that say to you and does that concern you? >> well, i mean it does. because it said that there is at least a smaller minority of this country who looks at donald trump and still believes that he's an acceptable leader. on the other hand, i look at the numbers of disapproval and i see people on the streets and it tells me that the largest swath of the american public has long since lost confidence in this president. they do not believe that he is a righteous leader and that they are -- they're done with him.

and so i have to believe that even if he maintains that very small percentage, that third of the electorate, that that is not going to be enough for him to win reelection. i know that he must feel that. because the things that he's doing now, it is like throwing everything you can at trying to fix a problem and he can't fix the problem because he is the problem. >> yeah. let me let you, steve, listen to lisa murkowski who is struggling with her support for the president, which remained through impeachment. here she is talking about whether or not she could support him for re-election. >> i thought general mattis' words were true and honest and necessary and overdue. >> you could still support president then? is that something you're struggling with? >> i am struggling with it.

i have struggled with it for a long time. >> you could take us inside of that struggle. we found the opposite sides of the 2004 election but you're a loyal republican most of your adult life, and you broke from that. something about donald trump made you and other never trump republicans walk away. what would be the struggle at this point? given what he has done, including what he has done to the christian religion by that stunt he pulled, what is the struggle about? >> i don't know, joy ann. i'm cold hearted and unsympathetic to this argument. we saw the president direct violence against peaceful protesters this week and seen the president lie to the country nearly 20,000 times. we've seen the president divide the country and incite violence. and we've seen a level of ineptitude in this historic pandemic that defied description but included standing in front

of the nation when tens of thousands are dead talking about his ratings or telling the american people that it is a good idea to ingest or household disinfectants. we've seen a president preside over the shattering of an economy. we have seen a president race bait, demean, disgrace his office, to desecrate the bonds of affection that exist between us as americans. he has completely, ulterly failed in the execution of his duties. he is attacked our institutions. he has no fondness for liberal democracy. he doesn't understand the american ideal and idea. and the notion that you would struggle with the question of four more years of this or president joe biden is extraordinary to me. i can't fathom it. i can't process it. she is a smart, intelligence

woman. she's tough as nails. she is stood up to mitch mcconnell in the past. stood up to the republican machine. but the idea that as we saw this week, the gop senators walking by and this geriatric shuffle, unresponsive to trump's ordering violence against the american people, unresponsive to a defense secretary, a four star general saying that the president of the united states is a threat to the american constitution. it is beyond my comprehension how these united states senators elected to some of the highest offices in the land could sit in the senate lunch and the subject of what is happening in this country doesn't even come up. it is a shameful and despicable abdication of their duty. it is a shameful chapter of cowa cowardice in the political history of the united states. she shouldn't have a tough time. it is an easy decision. it is the choice between a good man and a bad man.

a moral man versus an immoral man. a patriot versus somebody who is desecrated our freedoms and ideals by his assaults on american people. the choice between trump and biden isn't a difficult one. it is a choice between decline in the chance of a restoration and recovery from these tragic events. that is what the election is about. and she shouldn't be sweating it in the way that she is. it is not a troubling decision. it is an easy one. >> brother steve schmidt, i got to say, i'm with you on that. i don't understand it at all, sir. i truly don't. steve, thank you always. donna edwards, thank you, thank you. coming up, the violent response to protest has trump created an environment in which this behavior of law enforcement is acceptable in the ranks. plus secretary of state madeleine albright weighs in on donald trump's autocratic, you

do not want to miss that. and the latest on the pandemic. yes, there is still a pandemic. and the cdc said new cases aren't coming down as quickly as expected. we have so much more to get to. please stay with us. $55. and save 50% vs. other carriers. visit a store or go to t-mobile.com/55. don't bring that mess around here, evan! whoo! don't do it. don't you dare. i don't think so!

welcome back. protests continue tonight throughout the country with no sign of letting up. tomorrow in the nation's capitol the d.c. police chief expects one of the largest gathering we've had in the city. today the city of minneapolis would ban the use of chokeholds by police and require police to report and intervene any time they see an unauthorized use of force. this comes amid of slew of disturbing images of police brutality that have flooded social media. in buffalo, reporters from the local public radio station wbfo captured police shoving a 75-year-old man who then fell and cracked his head. the individual was hospitalized.

the two officers captured shoving the man have been suspended and prosecutors are investigating the incident. new york governor andrew cuomo weighs in earlier today. >> you see that video and it disturbs your basic sense of decency and humanity. why? why? why was that necessary? where was the threat? >> in indianapolis this disturbing video captured by a bystander shows indianapolis police striking an individual who had allegedly broken the citywide curfew. we could not verify what happened before the shot. but in loufisville people celebrated the life of breonna taylor who would have been 27 today if police had not shot her to death on march 13th. on saturday the second of three

services for george floyd will be held in north carolina. on monday the final service and burial will be leld held in his home town of houston, texas. joe biden is expected to attend. and for more i'm joined by mia wiley and michelle norris, washington post contributing columnist. thank you both for being here. mia, the scenes of the way that police are treating people, during these protests are shocking to a lot of americans, not to african-americans. not to people who have been afraid of police for a long time for good reason. why is it in terms of a law, you worked for the mayor of new york city, why is it police feel so comfortable doing that and why can police officers even if they get say fired for bad behavior in one precinct simply pick up and move to another town and keep being police. >> you're pointing, joy, to actually the kinds of reforms

that we need to protesters are in the streets demonstrating for. so the first answer is that we have often in this country not enough transparency, not enough of sunlight into complaints against police officers and whether and to what extent police departments are disciplining misconduct. and that is really important because if police officers learn that they're actions do not have consequences, then they continue engage in the actions if they feel justified. and the other part is that culture, that internal culture that discipline requires is, it is about silence and protecting fellow officers, it is about us versus them. there is a phrase in the new york city police department informally used, better to be tried by 12 than carried by six.

it is this mentality that it is better to use force because your life might be in danger, rather than be pulled before a jury. and the problem with that kind of mentality, the reason that you need leadership, particularly police department leadership is to say no, that is not right. and to say and we will sanction misconduct whether this happens because it becomes -- if we think we're in a dangerous situation, no matter how illegitimate that belief or feeling might be, we are justifying in doing what we do. and we have to shift that and only by barring bad behavior, creating consequences, making sure that the public sees it and knows it, and has some ability to say you're still not getting it right, and until we have police leadership, which we're starting to see in various parts of country, that recognized that it has to change. that we are no longer in a world

where they could say with all of their vast resources that they can't pinpoint a few problem people, a few people who might be doing wrong in a vast sea of people who are just peacefully exercising their first amendment rights. that is what we need in this country. >> and michelle, i wonder if, for the media, there is also been a presumption that police are the authority. so when something happens, it is the police to whom media go for the statement. and the statement is believed almost always without a whole lot of question typically. i think about the walter scott case. i used to teach this case in a class that i was teaching in a media class on race, in which initially the police came out and they said that walter scott, this is the man shot in north carolina, that he had tried to get the officers taser and that is why he was shot. low and behold, thanks to video. a very brave young man who happened to catch the entire

murder on tape, it turned out, nope, walter scott had run from the officer, the officer simply shot him in the back, squared up and shot him and then walked up and the second officer dropped a taser to make it look like he committed a crime and police are believed even by the media. do you think that something is fundamentally changed now because we watched george floyd's murder from start to finish and it is undeniable and so they can't hide behind that any more. is that the change or is it because it is now nonblack people who are bearing a lot of the brunt of the violence that they're taking in the streets. >> i think it is both. you mentioned the walter scott case because that was reported. i remember when that happened that day. the first news stories that came out were very different than what we learned when we actually saw the video. and applies to what we just saw in buffalo with the older man who fell down. the police said that he tripped. that he was not pushed. when you watch that video, you

had said that people of color aren't shocked by these videos and i'm black and i'm still shocked by what i see. and i'm disappointed by how it is often reported in the first round if we don't have the video to prove it. if we don't have the video to prove it. and that is what is leading to the change in the polling that we're seeing for the first time white americans are saying that they believe in larger numbers that discrimination has something to do with the very aggressive policing that we're seeing in the black community. but that is still only about half of the country. it has gone from 36% to now around 54%. so that is still meaning that half of the country, half of white americans at least, watch these images and don't believe that there is an aggressive kind of policing and aggressive brand of policing that is targeting african-americans in particular. and i don't know how i can't come to that conclusion when you look at the daisy chain of deaths that we've now seen. we've seen black death on small

screens with alarming regularity and you would think that would start to convince people that there is a problem in the way we are policing black bodies in this country. >> yeah, you would think. well it is the change is slow but it is change. at least somewhat in people's perceptions. thank you both. really appreciate speaking with you both tonight. up next, former u.s. sect of state madeleine albright joins us to discuss trump's resen behavior. and we're back right after this short commercial break. right a short commercial break

i think putin has been a very strong leader for russia. he's been a lot stronger than our leader, that i could tell you. the chinese, the tanna man square they put down horribly strongly. >> what do you make of the north korean leader. >> at a young age he was able to assume power. a lot of people tried to take that power away so obviously he's a pretty smart cookie. >> welcome back. well that was donald trump on the strength of authoritarian leaders like putin and kim jong-un. as max fisher points out trump has come closer this week than at any points in the presidency of reproducing the strong man rulers for whom he's long expressed admiration. his calls for force, his efforts to position the military as backing his political line and his warnings of an us versus

them internal threat that must be put down swiftly, all follow whether he knows it or not, a playbook used by the very strong men he has praised. or as the washington post puts it, the white house is now so heavily fortified that it resembles the compounds of regimes in far away lands. i'm joined by former u.s. secretary of state madeleine albright who has a new book out called "hell and other destinations." and thank you so much for being here. what do you make of donald trump's comportment from his clear desire to use the military as his own sort of private police force and recuruit them into his serve to him clearing the streets of washington in order to walk across the street, away from his bunker, and hold up a bible upside down in front of a church and just to create -- and he made a video of it. he then tweeted out from the

white house account. what did you make of that? >> well, i have to say, you said very correctly that he seems to have taken a page out of an autocrat's playbook and the clips that you play of the admiration for the worst leaders that are able to control their societies is proof of it. i do think that what we saw has been an absolutely outrageous use of power and a complete misunderstanding about what america is about. i came to this country when i was 11 years old. i had been through world war ii and then we escaped communism. and so i know what autocrats are about. and i think that what happened in terms of -- and i was watching television, by the way, when the part right in front of the white house was cleared out and teargassed and i'm so familiar with that area because i worked in the white house, i've walked across lafayette

square, i've been to saint john's church and kind of seeing all of that take place, under those circumstances by somebody who doesn't understand at all what the constitution is about. and so i am very concerned. but i do think, and i want to point this out, there are stunning contrasts here. i'm proud of the mayor for what she did and to decide to call it black lives matter plaza and the rector of the church i go to, jeanne was in front of saint john's at lafayette square giving out help to the people and i think that what has happened is trump has made a joke of things that are vital to the functioning of american society and i think that all he knows how to do is insult people and has no sense about what an honor it should be to be president of the united states. and he has misused the office

and i'm just stunned beyond belief, i have to tell you. it is nothing i ever thought i would see in the united states and i think we have to use this as an opportunity to deal with the systemic racism that has gone on and to honor the death of george floyd. >> and what do you make of the fact that you now have generals, military generals, i believe there are three or four that we could count including his own former secretary of defense who are condemning him and in the case of his -- the former secretary of defense likening him in some ways or relating him to the way that the nazi regime behaved and saying that we shouldn't behave that way and he's a threat to the constitution. what do you make of that? >> well i think it is very important statement. these are people that have been highly respected in the military. the highest level. i think they were appalled, frankly, by how this kind of spun out and embarrassed but

more importantly they made clear the importance of the relationship that the american people have with the military we respect but not to all of a sudden start being the ones that see themselves as the violent control over people that are trying to show their views peacefully. and so their statements i think are very important. i applaud that they said them. but i think we have to keep very, very careful watch about a lack of understanding by the president of the -- of what the military is about. he keeps talking about my generals and wants to have parades and show off how he fits in with those people that he admired in those clips that you showed. and the statement this morning blew my -- i can't belief it. i absolutely couldn't believe it. it was a level beyond which one could go. >> let me let you listen to some of international leaders responding to donald trump's comments as you just mentioned

about george floyd. >> dear brothers and strers in the united states, i have witnessed with great concern the disturbing social unrest in your nation in these past days. >> i was appalled and sickened to see what happened to him -- >> we all watch in horror and consternation what is going on in the united states. it is a time to pull people together, but it is a time to listen. >> and we've had, according to foreign policy, some have condemned the rebuke of donald trump over his plans to use u.s. military in a letter shared on friday saying there is no role for the u.s. military in dealing with the americans exercising right to free speech no matter how uncomfortable that is for

some. if this is another country and you're observing as secretary of state, what would you make of it? would this seem like a democracy to you, the way donald trump is operating the united states? >> if i were observing, i would not think it is. and the people he's chosen to admire are the ones that really dictate the fact that he doesn't understand the constitution from what i could tell. and i really do think -- i can't tell you how proud i was to citizen behind a sign that said the united states. at the moment, i think we are not just an embarrassment but also a danger to other countries and we are not going to be able to deal with the problems that are out there which know no borders, the virus and the kinds of issues going on and it is appalling. and i think that we need to understand that the united states, this is not america. and i think we need to listen to

what the demonstrators are saying, what the discussions are, we need to sort out how we deal with what is a real departure from what people have seen as america. and so it is a very hard time and a propaganda stunt that has really dismantled some of the various aspects of our constitution and is very, very bad. >> madeleine albright, former secretary of state, thank you very much. appreciate your time tonight. thank you. and up next, the latest on the ongoing pandemic. we are flattening the curve but the cdc is worried that the efforts so far might not drive down the rate of infection. stay with us. for what you need!

floyd. it comes as the country is still facing the threat of the coronavirus which has infected nearly 2 million people in the u.s. and taken the lives of more than 109,000. the cdc is now forecasting the death toll to rise to more than 127,000 before the end of the month. this morning dr. fauci warned about the threat of new outbreaks caused by the massive crowds. >> the congregation of large crowds at a time and in an area, a geographic area where clearly there is active infection transmission, it's a perfect setup for further spread of the virus in the sense of creating these blips which might turn into some surges. people running back and forth, taking their masks off, being close into proximity. that absolutely poses a risk that there might be spread of infection. >> for more i'm joined by dr.

libby roy, a physician. and dr. roy, buzzfeed is reported that more than 11,000 people have already been arrested at these protests. and there is a concern that people who are put into then overcrowded detention facilities and police stations might be at risk of covid and then on top of that we've had teargas used on protesters whereas as they're breathing that in and coughing it out. "the new york times" said along with the immediate pain that could cause watering eyes an burning throats, it may cause damage to people's lungs and make them more susceptible to a respiratory illness according to the risk of exposure it could insight coughing. do you expect to weeks from now we'll talk about a new set of outbreaks from these protests and the arrests? >> good evening, joy, it is good to see you after so many days.

the concern amongst many of us in the medical and public health communities is that there will lightning likely be an increase if not a surge in cases in hospitals all over the country that have faced the protests and, yeah, the teargas, in addition to severe mucous irritation, eyes, throats, there is a study that actually done by the u.s. army in 2012 that showed that days after exposure to teargas people were at increased risk for developing infection. but i also just wanted to say that there is nothing like a pandemic to expose the existing cracks in the u.s. health care system. i said that before for coronavirus but it applies right now regarding decades if not centuries of racial inequity and we're seeing that now. and i wan to be clear as a physician that racism is a public health issue if not a crisis. and i want to make sure that the

families of mr. george floyd and breonna taylor and multiple other people who just deaths were not captured on camera that i could convey my sincere condolences and we all need to act to make sure that we correct these wrongs. >> yeah, it is ironic that the killing of these black people who have done nothing, that they're murderers are now prompting in place where's they're already worse spikes of covid that were acting black and brown people and there is another risk to them. that is the sort of tragic horrible irony of all of this. even before that, you had on top of that, you just had memorial day weekend before this all all happened and you had people out there, states reopening. have we reached a perfect storm for covid-19 to make the summer even more hellish? >> you know, that is a great

question, joy. earlier i professor eddy glad talk about how he's from the gulf coast and hurricanes and i coo relate, i did my medical training in new orleans and he talked about the fact that right now we're in the eye of the storm. all of the different issues, the different scenarios are coming together. and look i kind of have mixed feelings here because a part of many is really inspired by seeing these protests and seeing all of the young people protesting. but on the other hand as a public health advocate and doctor i'm really concerned because right now we have not contained this virus. it is out there. and the concern that i specifically have is that it is the young people who may actually get the -- carry the virus. they won't be the ones getting severely sick and dying. they're going to inadvertently go back home and transmit this virus to older relatives, older

people, people who are sick and those individuals will go on and unfortunately get sick and die. that is what i'm worried about. but i want young people to remember you could still be an activist for social justice and public health but do so from home. you could go online, you could donate, you could email your local mayors and the congress members and senator, as president obama recently said, change happens at the local level so that is the key message i want to send about social justice and about public health. >> and what should people be doing if they're out in these crowds, you can't social distance because there are people so close to you. what would you advise people who are determined to go out there and march to do to keep safe. >> i'm so glad you asked me. trust me, i get the sense that i don't think there is anybody out there in our society who doesn't feel profound frustration and anger and i understand that need, that urge to go out and protest. my first recommendation would be

you could be an activist from home. but for those who still want to go out, please, by all means, cover your face, your nose and cover your eyes. there is new recommendations to cover your eyes. because it is mucousal protection and as best you could keep the distance as best you can. try not to shout and yell. because when do you that, that is going to spread the respiratory droplets and the virus even more, joy. >> dr. libby roy, valuable advice. appreciate your advice. hopefully people will take it. thank you so much. and still ahead, protesters are taking to the streets as we just discussed to make their voices heard. we're going to bring you some of the voices. the voices of protest. that is next. stay right here. stay right here. good morning, blair.
