like, you wouldn't get the wrath of god. he told the police he couldn't breathe. one of the hardest parts of the tape to listen to, he said, please. >> david chappelle on the death of george floyd. i encourage every one there to watch it. that does it for me. ari is back in this seat on monday. keep it right here on msnbc. good evening. i'm joy reid. today is june 12th, 2020. this was the week 155 years after the fact when an american president, for the first time, questioned the outcome of the civil war. the bloodiest conflict in american history. no american president has ever questioned the outcome of that war until donald trump. while the majority of americans are facing this national

reckoning on racial injustice and police violence in the aftermath of george floyd's killing by a minneapolis police officer, trump is still trapped in 1968 or maybe 1868. the new york times notes his public opinion on racism has shifted dramatically. trump is digging in. whether it's suggesting shooting protesters or sicking dogs on them or vigorously depending the confederate names slapped on u.s. military installations or arguing his maga supporters quote, "love the black people." since aparpparently so few are black people. he sounds like a relic detached but the country's political middle and some republican allies at his own military leaders in an interview with fox news, trump was asked about some of his most recent comments

including tweet quoting a notorious former miami police chief whose policies sparked comparisons to anti-police ri s riots. >> when the looting starts, the shooting starts. why those words? >> so, that's an expression i've heard over the years. >> do you know where it comes from? >> i think philadelphia, the mayor of philadelphia. >> no. it comes from 1967. it was from the chief of police in miami. he was cracking down and he meant what he said. that frightened a lot of people. >> it also comes from a very tough mayor who i might have been police commissioner at the time. i think mayor of philadelphia named frank rizzo. he had an extregs like that. i heard it many times. >> that tough mayor once told philadelphians to vote white.

the statue of him was removed from plaza facing city hall earlier this month. the mayor called it a monument to bigotry and racism. nearly three weeks after george floyd's killing sparked mass ifr protests against racism and three years into my presidency, trump dug himself in further claiming he's done more for black americans than any of his 44 predecessors. >> i think i've done for more the black community than any other president. let's take a pass on abraham lincoln because he did good although it's questionable. in other words -- >> we are free, mr. president. he did pretty well. >> you understand what i mean. i'm going to take a pass on honest abe. >> all right, mr. president. i'm game. what exactly is questioning about the outcomes of the president who freed black people from slavery by decree, defeated treason and saved the union. i think americans would really like to know.

while trump claimed, based on no evidence at all, that he could be america's consoler in chief, he followed that with another george wallace style threat. threatening federal action against protests in seattle walling demonstrators there anarchis anarchists. i'm going to ask each of you to donald trump questioning the outcome of the civil war. >> what part of freed slaves was requestioning. it's truly astonishing to hear the remarks that he made.

it's are reminder that words have consequences. there's language that this president and his base used that really is quite dangerous and it's disturbing to hear the interview he gave today in so many ways. >> i'll ask both of you, gentlemen, starting with you david. you're both from southern states. what is it about the confederacy that seems to attract this guy from queens? he has no connection to the confederacy that anyone knows of. his father was seen in a klan rally in 1927. that was in new york. what do you make of it, starting with you david? >> i think with donald trump you can draw threat from his housing

discrimination of the '70s to the central park five to birtherism to his conversation around race and it's fair to ask questions about the president's view of race. that ultimately is what is so, not just shocking but disconcerting and sad for the nation. the opportunity right now for leadership is to have a conversation that continues to work the nation towards justice. i know we're focused on the zif civil war and monuments and naming of military bases. that was a fight over the institution of slavery that was established when we wrote on constitution. the work wasn't done. it took another 100 years to get to the zifcivil rights act of 1, the voting rights act and here we are 60 years after that landmark legislation and we know injustice is still embedded in the united states and in many of our institutions. this is the opportunity for

leaders to demonstrate who they are. taking down statues is not a erasing history. it's our opportunity to make history. that is true of the activists and the people who make these decisions now. it's also true of people like donald trump. they are making history now as our republicans on the hill by standing in the way of moving justice forward. >> mayor, today is the fourth anniversary of the pulse nightclub shooting. donald trump could said something about that in the interview. they are removing transgender health protection. that's what they are doing with this day. today is the 57 anniversary of metger edgars killed by klamsmen killed any his driveway. it was trending on twitter. he could have checked. the thing he does and chooses to do is quote racist police chiefs from 1967 and to seem to laud

and be obsessed over the confederacy? >> those of us live in the south know what dog whistles sound like and they sound like trains coming down the track. donald trump knows what he's doing. he has people that work for him with the strategy back in 1972. the con fed ra si was on the wrong side of history. it was fought to destroy the country and not unify it. you're watching history pass by the president of the united states. a man whose level of ignorance and arrogance is so broad it's jarring for a country who needs a leader that will unify us. he harkens back to it because he, for some reason, decided that's the only way he's going to get elected. he's so wrong because as you see in this difficult time that we're in, in these three crisis that are converging onto us that's being over laid by the issue of institutional racism, america is beginning to see things they should have seen

before. beginning to understand things more and they are going to say that the direction of the country wants to go in and it's not the direction that taik taking us in. >> eugene robinson called donald trump today in column he wrote in the washington post, the last president of the confederacy. that's a pretty stark thing for an american president to be called. that comes as donald trump is planning to hold a rally in tulsa. oklahoma is not a swing state. there's no question he will win that state. he's going to go to tulsa on juneteenth which is the hop day celebrating the delated discovery by many enslaved people they were freed by president lincoln. he's then also going to go to david state and hold his final triumphant acceptance of his

nomination that was ax handle saturday when another atrocity took place when they attacked people at a whites only lunch counter in the 60 with axes. can it be coincidental he does so much of that? >> no. it's intentional. it's purposeful and it's shameful. it really is amazing to watch some person we gave power to abuse that power to pervert what the military is supposed to be used for. to pervert what the bible is supposed to be used for. to turn upside down the issue of race and turn upside down what this country really is about. unfortunately, he has been called so many times to ask to bring us into unity and not only has he refused, he's actually going in the opposite direction. i have never seen a political figure in the 30 years i've served who has decided to be this divisive and i think what the american people just have to

do is take the power back that we gave him and hand it to somebody that will unify the country and bring us together and tell us not what we want to hear but what we need to hear so we can all begin to work together and lael theal the wou that are very deep that will take a lot of work. >> david, it feels like we're discovering what it might have been like if george wallace had won the presidency except in the end george wallace evolved. donald trump doesn't seem to be in the process of evolving. what will it mean for florida for donald trump to come to the stats state of florida and except on the anniversary date of yet another racist massacre? >> we're 50 years after george wallace. that's the part that's so disconcerting. i agree with the mayor. these are not coincidences. this is deliberate. whether it's donald trump or stephen miller whether i say perring in his here, these are deliberate attempts to play into the race card going into

november innen aefr an effort i us. it should shadden the nation. we know this is a president. we had said have you seen the nation so divided. i love it that way. donald trump operates in a divided nation. where we have to be very careful, donald trump could break us. he truly could by dividing us on the issue of race where the wounds are so deep, not just coming off of george floyd but after 230 years, the wounds remain deep and the work remains ahead of us. if he divides us on the issue of race, he could take us back 100 years and break who we are as nation. as voters we have a chance to say no, we're not going to let you do that. i do think that's a question on the ballot in november. >> congresswoman, he's not doing it by himself. let me play the lieutenant

governor of texas. a guy named dan patrick making a gross comparison. >> when you take out law enforcement, when you let mob control your life, this no different than isis taking over cities in the middle east. these are people with guns threatening people who may or may not agree with them. >> they're not beheading people and throwing them off buildings. >> they're not belelding them or throwing them off buildings but they have taken away their freedom, their liberty. >> go to the islam-o-phobic. it's not just him. it's tom cotton saying will they take down the washington monument. it's tucker carlson sneering they didn't build it. the black and brown people in the streets. they didn't build america. yeah, they did. your thoughts congresswoman. >> it's about senator ted cruz

referring to people who organize them themselves to take down the columbus statue in the capital of minnesota and st. paul as the american taliban. this is intentional. their association is intentional and it's very dangerous what they're doing really is no longer dog whistles. they are saying the quiet parts out loud. i agree that this is our opportunity to reject this kind of malace intention by them that's clearly inkrietsing violence against different groups of people here in our country. they are very intent on dividing us and stirring up hate and division in our country. we do have an opportunity in the next few months to decide where

we want to go and how we unify our country by making sure these people are no longer in positions of power to influence the kind of policies that we want implemented. it's quite tragic. you and i talk about as myself being an immigrant. many of the history i know of this country, i've learned in the schools even though i started in sixth grade. you would assume majority of these people who are hell bent on idealizing and revisiting really tragic parts of our histo history, are quite aware of it. we can no longer say there is ignorance. we can no longer say the president and his -- are not aware of what hay are doing and saying.

these are people who are choosing to go down a road that is really quite dangerous for all of us and dangerous for the kind of country we want to build. now it's our opportunity to reject. i remember the night president trump won. i said i can't have -- i can't imagine how he found a partner in so many hearts of americans to have won his election. now, we should ask those people to dig deep in their heart and ask themselves again, is this the president that they wanted? is this the person they want dictating what kind of country we are to ourselves and to the world and is this the kind of history we want written about

our country decades after we have come through and reformed for the better. >> yeah. we're out of time. i'm going to give a final question. is that even possible? is that a conversation that's even, that you can have with people who are supporting this? supporting this attitude toward our history and their own fellow americans? >> it might not be possible with everybody but it's possible with a majority of americans. there's great hope in the protesters and the diversity of the young people that are out in the streets exercising their first amendment right, being great patriots and calling their country into communion around a simple notion. we're all created equal. one of us should not be supreme over the other and yes, we are a nation that values diversity and a nation of immigrants. if you believe in that, then you have to go it sha-- you have to donald trump out but his vision of the world as we have said from the beginning that is laid

on top of what george wallace saw. laid on top of what the confederate saw. that's an idea that needs to go into the dust bin of history so america can become the country she's always promised herself that she would be. i'm very hopeful that we can get there. it's going to be hard but it's worth the fight, clearly. >> yeah, won't go quietly into the dust bin. >> it will not. >> i hope you're successful. i hope you're successful. that's a lovely name. it's a wonderful name for an organization. i wish you luck. thank you so much. y'all have a great weekend. coming up, remember when donald trump promised to tough background checks after another gun massacre in the kwliets and did nothing. this time on police reform he's pretending the take action but really doing nothing. miking moore predicted trump would win four years ago. where does he see this election

going this year? i'll ask him. stay with us. year? i'll ask him stay with us [ siren ] give me your hand! i can save you... lots of money with liberty mutual! we customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ so as you head back out on the road, we'll be doing what we do best. providing some calm in your day. with virtual, real-time tours of our vehicles as well as remote purchasing. for a little help, on and off the road. now when you buy or lease a new lincoln, we'll make up to 3 payments on your behalf.

we're working to finalize an executive order that will encourage police departments nation wide to meet the most current professional standards of force and that means force but force with compassion. >> welcome back. donald trump is only been able to bring lims to encourage police departments to enact changes. he's made it clear he doesn't think there's systemic racism, just a few bad apples. cities and states have begun stepping up to enact change themgss. in louisville, kentucky, the city council voted to ban no knock warrants like the one that caused breonna taylor her life. several governors are working toward or banned police choke

holds. for more i'm joined by msnbc correspondent. donald trump seems to not think the people in those protests know why they're there. i'll play a quick sound bite from him. >> what do you think they want? what do you think they need right now, from you? >> i think the protesters for different reasons and you have protesting because they just didn't know. i've watched. i wash tch it very closely. they really weren't able to say. they were there for a reason but a lot of them were there because they are following the crowd. of lot of them were there because what we witnessed was a terrible thing. >> does that make any sense to you at all? >> i hate to laugh about something so serious but

hundreds of thousands of people just meander in to hours and hours of protest. it's kind of par for the course when you think about this president. as people are in pain, hurting and have been yelling and sho shouting, crying over the bodies of dead black people killed by the hands of police. still this president, like many other people, see it as bad apple as something systemic. as long as it's bad apples and not the orchard you can defer the responsibility. i heard something once that said if you have lake and two fish died, there's something wrong with the lake and you have 50,000 die, there's something wrong with lake. there's something wrong with the lake. >> yeah, that's seems fairly clear to the new laws being enacted seemed to indicate that. great to meet with you and talk

to you. there's been a lot of angst of that being the rallying cry of so many activists. i think there's a lot of confusion over what it means and speaking of confusion, here is donald trump discussing it. >> started about a week ago where i heard they want to close up all police forces. it's not like they want to bring a little money into something else. they want to actually close. i'm thinking what happens late at night when you make that call to 911 and there's nobody there. what do you do? whether you're white, black or anybody else. what do you do? >> christy, does anybody -- is anything out there saying close all the police forces down? that seems like a rhetorical question but feel free to answer

however you like. >> no one is saying we should not have a world where no one answers when you call for help. i know the words are scaring people but the ideas are sensible and they are in line with what police officers have been telling me for tech kdecad which is we're asking law enforcement to do too much. we need to shift the responsibilities to people that can better serve needs like mental health and homelessness and drug addiction. i wish we had leadership that instead of leaping on one word, no matter, ill chosen our otherwise, it's one word. the ideas are sensible. we have an opportunity now to work together to achiever those goals. i hope we don't squander that opportunity and devolve to fear mongering which is what some of our leaders want us to do. >> rachel maddow says lots of things that are brilliant. she says when you're talking about politician, don't listen to what they say so much as

watch what they do. police budgets are being cut. a lot of responsibilitys are being shoplifted away from them. they are contracts being relooked at because at the end of the day, as i think nicole might have said this earlier today, taxpayers are not going to pay for a police force that endangers them. is this -- are we having the wrong argument when we're talking about the hashtag? >> we're having the wrong argument of wrong discussion. when you think about cities across the country who are cutting their budgets, summer job programs. the one budget that grows is the police. this week on into america, my podcast, we looked at l.a. while they were planning on increasing the budget, they took away $150 million and decided to redirect the funding to communities of color. while it's a big, squa scary tee people say we should be living

in a world where people aren't robbing and stealing for food. people have emotional breakdown, they get the resources they need and not man or woman arriving with a gun. part of the discussion around defunding the police is big and scary. we know it's election year and clearly the law and order president who is calling for folks to dominant the streets and send the strotroops in, thir footsing he's put the police and national guard on does a big disservice to the movement that says we should live in a society where children's bellies are full and folks have what they need so they wouldn't have to resort to crime and kail calling men and women with guns to respond. >> absolutely. and where mayors could have the flexibility to spend money on those things instead of on police being able to buy tanks. thank you so much. still ahead, film maker

breakfast strategy. mitt romney lost by 64 electoral votes. >> okay. i'm having a flash back. that was michael moore in 2016 making a shocking prediction that donald trump would win the election, which he did. one of twas that trump went about it was winning the rust belt states that were mentioned. i'm joined by michael moore. planet of the humans and host of rumble with michael moore. you couldn't see me in that shot but i was sitting next to you when you said that. the moment struck me so much. it put it in my book. tony schwartz was the other side of you. go on. >> i'm sorry. i didn't know they were going to run that clip because i remember

you were there on the stage. i thought this is going to trigger awful things in joy right now. just breathe and we're going to be okay. >> i'll breathe after you tell me who will win the election in 2020. what's happening is the polling averages, aisle going to look at the polling averages for the states you called, three of them. in 2016 trump won by .2 in michigan. .7 in pennsylvania. polling averages have biden ahead 7.6,.1, still close in pennsylvania. 6.2 wisconsin. do you forsee a different outcome in november? >> earlier today nicole wallace had governor cuomo on. she was just asking about september with her kids. like is there going to be

school. he said, my krystal ball is only good for 30 days. i don't know. here is what i think i know. never take trump for granted. if anybody is sitting at home thinking oh, man, we've got this one in the bag. did you hear him today. he said he's done more for black people than abraham lincoln. we're going to win. no. no. i'm telling you. i'm warning you and i'm begging you, please, do not sell this man short. he's pulled off so many things, so many times. if you're a new yorker, you watched it for 40 years and failed to warn the rest of us, by the way. if you don't understand this about him, if we are -- how long

did we think just wait. the mueller report. how many times over the last three years, just watit. that's going to do him in. with billy bush on the bus a month or so before the election. it's like that's the end of trump. how about this? put this in your head and don't let it leave your head until november 3rd. this is no end to trump. trump doesn't think there's any end to trump. that's -- everybody has to be very careful. i think hillary won the popular vote by three million votes. i think -- honest to god, i think joe biden will win the popular vote by five million. maybe 7 million. i think it will be a huge popular vote victory for the democrat. that does not mean we'll win the electoral states we need to win.

>> that's the key. the electoral college dunoesn't care. the theory of the case for biden and the reason a lot of people like jason johnson predicted biden would be the nominee is unlike hillary, he's not a woman. i remember during that same show, you said there are these blue collar guys out there, these cops and plumber, they're not broke and say great. we had the black president. then we're going to have the gay president. then the woman president. then we'll have the latino president. it will be every single person except the white guy. that's the attitude. it's not about money, economics, it's about culture running away from them. you said that so beautifully back then. now, what you have is donald trump really boosting those same people to the maximum. he's facing a regular guy. he's facing a literal regular joe. joe biden is the regular joe that a lot of those guys are.

does that break the circuit for what he's able to do. >> maybe. i don't know. you said it exactly. that's exactly correct. it's white men, a lot of white men, two-thirds of white men voted for trump feel that they're grip on power is quic y ly fading. it's being taken from them. they've been watching what's going on the last couple of weeks. they are just as angry at that cop in minneapolis because he's really -- he's really messed it up for the white male holding onto that power. i think white men and their fear of this fp notice how trump's base really never changes.

that percentage that's going to vote for him. it's 40, 41. on a good day it's 43 or 44. it always stays within the margin of error. that's because it doesn't matter what trump does. they are going to show up. they're counting on their rage and their emotion is so much stronger. they have the courage of their convictions. they believe and their counting on us not showing up in that same way. >> yeah. that's the key. i wish we had time. i have no more time. that is the exact point. they are counting on not showing up. >> i want to say this. >> we'll have to have you back. quickly. >> that's it. quickly. >> it's incup bents upon joe biden, he has to make sure that he doesn't doesn't pick a vice president that's a mirror image of himself. he's got to bring young people

and the left out. they will stay home. i'll be there. i'm goat vovoting. >>ive give us a name. >> michelle alexander. >> you got to come back. we got to get deeper into that. we'll bring you back. >> i have more words. >> he's got more words. he's going to come back and do it again. have a great weekend. i'm getting the ding, ding. states are reassessing their reopening plans after a spike in coronavirus cases. stay with us. after a spike in coronavirus cases. stay with us it's the 6:10 woke-up-like-this migraine medicine. the 3:40 mid-shift migraine medicine. it's called ubrelvy. the migraine medicine for anytime, anywhere a migraine attacks without worrying if it's too late or where you happen to be. one dose of ubrelvy can quickly stop a migraine in its tracks within two hours. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. few people had side effects, most common were nausea and tiredness.

together a disclaimer statement for people to sign that would relieve him of any liability in in fact, because of their presence, they become infected with the covid-19 covid-19 virus. so on the one hand, he's claiming it's going to go away, that we're progressing, that we don't need to worry. but on the other hand, he is asking people to relieve him of any liability. this is outrageous that this president, you know, speaking this way and asks this way. and i'm particularly concerned about these nursing homes. 40% of all of the deaths from covid-19 are nursing home victims. and, so, this administration have failed to get the supplies to these nursing homes that they need. and even when some of the supplies have come, they have been defected.

and they're still waiting, waiting for masks, waiting for gowns, waiting for protective equipment. and so not only are the patients dying, the staffs are dying. right here in california, they had to send out the national guard to five of our nursing homes where the national guards and their special medical teams have to take care of the patients right here in south los angeles. 23 staff members were infected. 36 patients and 8 people died. and it was one of the five nursing homes that the medical staff visited from the national guard in order to help them because they had no more staff left. and it is a real scandal and it's a shame what's happening in our nursing homes. and fema, you know, basically it's been run, this aspect of it being run by jerry kushner, who the president sent over there, promises to send out equipment

that never comes, sends out, again, defective equipment. and i just don't know what's going to happen except the number of deaths in these nursing homes will continue to spiral and continue to increase. and, so, we're trying to do something about it. it was our select committee that held this briefing on this crisis. >> yeah. >> and we have a bill that's being placed into operation that we have all signed on. but i want to tell you, the numbers are increasing. >> yeah. and it's rather pointed that one of the rallies he's choosing to do is in tulsa, oklahoma, a state that is not in contention, he doesn't need to sway votes there. he's going to win that state and he's doing it on juneteenth. it is a pointed decision. what do you make of it? >> well, you know, he's such a dishonorable man. when he has an opportunity to basically undermine or harm or

pay somebody back, he does it, and he's not ashamed of that. and this has been his m.o. ever since he's been elected. so it is a day that we celebrate because that's the time that we actually got the message, the information that the slaves had been freed. and, so, it's a jab at us. it is like the president who has talked about our districts, called them rat holes, talked about the shit holes in terms of, you know, black countries, et cetera. this is another way to poke fun at us and to dishonor what we care about. >> indeed. and he doesn't seem to want to stop. congresswoman maxine waters, have a wonderful weekend. thank you for your time this weekend. >> thank you. pay attention to this nursing problem. it is extraordinarily important. thank you so very much. >> thank you so much,

about the trump era is while

becoming president has allowed donald trump minor celebrity to wield what is in his mind unlimited power, he has not been able to command the power where president barack obama and michelle obama were surrounded by icons, fashion icons, oprah, and sports legends who all wanted to be in the white house where the first black president was. trump and his brood have had to make do with the third tier of the celebrity world. now the culture is coming for his real act. the king, lebron james of the l.a. lakers announced with several other athletes, he's forming a new political action group aimed at protecting african-american voting rights and encouraging them to turn out to vote. more than a vote will focus on voter registration and making sure black voters can safely cast a ballot in november. also onboard kevin hart, basketball stars like trae

young, jaylen rose, draymond green. plus, nfl running back alvin kamara. they're recruiting popular stars from the music world. in other words, popular culture are now massing to protect the very voters he has written off as not capable of voting without fraud, not worth even talking to unless they're willing to be his sycophants. if any cop anywhere decides they don't. the irony of course is that before he jumped into politics, donald trump was part of the culture, which apparently hadn't yet figured out who he is, but he traded all of that for power with a little russian help. so, mr. president, good luck with your re-election. you won't just be facing joe biden and his running mate in november, you'll be squaring off against the culture, which refuses to shut up and dribble

or shut up and sing and enjoys a long history of protests, standing up for what is right. in other words, the american culture and it's defeated much tougher men than you. thanks so much for being with us. "all in" with chris hayes is up next. tonight on "all in," the virus, it's still here and it's still killing people. although, you never know it watching the head of the task force waltz around unmasked. governor kate brown is here to tell us why. plus, why is the trump administration refusing to tell americans how $500 billion of our money got spread around the bail-out. congresswoman is here in keeping them honest. lip service after the murder of george floyd. eight years since the killing of her son trayvon martin,
