bills, stay in homes and put food on the table. no it's messaging for the president. nothing more. >> and i thank you, wanted to get you on that, issue that many americans are worried about given what's going on in the recession and health care/covid crisis. thank you for your patience, unusual hour. congressman adam schiff is last guest. that's it for "the beat," toss to "the reid out" with joy reid. ♪ well, donald trump just finished another of his briefings, abruptly interrupted when the president was escorted out of the room after shots were fired outside of the white house. but he resumed and offered little by way of actual information. donald trump's it is what it is approach to dealing with the coronavirus was the same

approach he applied to the economic devastation of the pandemic, until he decided to do something that seems to amount to something at all. friday, setting that would have made marie antoinette blush, in front of his people, sip cocktails and avoid the poors with the exception of the help, at country club announcement. then bogus executive actions, including one to defer the payroll tax, which would gut social security if it ever happened and became permanent. promised some supplemental relief for unemployed americans, $400 a week, one-third less than the $600 they were before mitch mcconnell went back into his shell. >> why did you decide on $400 when previously receiving $600.

>> it's no the a hardship. this is for them, great incentive to go back to work. >> let them eat cake. as "washington post" points out after failing to get deal for congress, legally dubious executive actions only after remaining largely absent for negotiations of the stimulus package. and end run around congress has raised questions that his claims and action largely amount to smoke and mirrors and created confusion among businesses and state officials. chuck schumer called the actions unworkable. despite all of that, he's on twitter blaming democrats for failing to reach a deal when not grumbling about college

football. more than 5 million cases of coronavirus in the united states and more than 163,000 have died. underscoring how bad it is, neighbors up north in canada are politely demanding that americans stay away, cracking down on illegal american visitors. maybe they could build a wall. joined by philip rucker, white house bureau chief for the "washington post." start by asking what happened to your knowledge at the white house today that caused all the drama and the president to be whisked off stage. >> yeah, extraordinary scene. president in middle of coronavirus briefing and midsentence, a secret service agent stepped on the rostrum and told him we need to get out of the briefing room. brought him to the oval office. apparently what happened, according to the president's telling, somebody, a suspect, tried to enter the white house grounds and was shot by a secret service agent.

it's unclear where that person was shot, or what the injuries were. but trump said that was only injured person and said he did not feel personally endangered in that moment but nonetheless it speaks to the security breaches we've seen at this white house over the years. you'll recall at end of the obama years there was a fence jumping incident and there have been other attempts as well. we'll learn more from the secret service tonight probably, but president did say a suspect was engaged and shot by a secret service agent. >> thachk ynk you for the updat. donald trump continued to pound on the ideas he says he's going to do, deferring payroll taxes for americans making so much, expanding unemployment benefits to $400 a week, $200 less than people were getting, waiving student debt requirements and

minimizing evictions. i didn't see the part in the briefing whether he was asked this, but was he asked whether any of that is legal for president to do? sounds like things only congress can do. >> well, you're right, joy. congress controls the rights to the purse, appropriations and spending in our government. that's how our system of government was set up. but the president has maintained this is legal. we get to see legal rationale argued by white house lawyers, i assume, in the days to come, certain to be legal challenges to the orders that the president signed over the weekend. >> well also, practicality of it, the white house does not control the purse, congress does. how does he think would get the money? mitch mcconnell slip it to him in an envelope? this is one of those things illegal he can't do.

and i don't think speaker pelosi is going to let him do it. has anyone spoke tone that? >> they've not explained how they intend to get that money. it's worth pointing out this is not as extensive a package as could have been negotiated by congress and there is a recognition among white house officials it's a bit of a band-aid solution, the real meaningful relief would have to come through legislation, that's how our government works and there's hope at white house they can negotiate something, but clearly it was not happening last week. one of the reasons the president wanted to act even when you look at fine print and details of what he did sign over the weekend, it is not necessarily providing all of the relief that the president says it will. >> yeah. no doubt. philip rucker, thank you very much, appreciate you. >> thank you joy. >> donald trump's reliance on executive actions is interesting

given his past criticism of president obama's use of executive orders for things like daca. >> i don't like executive orders, that's not what the country was based on. obama signs his executive orders all day long because he can't get along with anybody, that's not the way it's supposed to work. we don't want to do the executive orders like obama has been doing. supposed to get together and pass a law. doesn't want to do that work, just play golf. i don't think he tries anymore. >> irony, attempts to call the president lazy on top of it. perfection. joined by speaker of the house nancy pelosi. thank you for being here, we always appreciate your time. i want to focus on this fixation that donald trump shares with his republican colleagues of tax cuts. cutting payroll taxes, which would gut social security trust

fund and tonight said he wants additional capital gains tax cuts and middle class tax cut. what would that do for people not employed, paying payroll taxes or any at moment because they're not getting a check. >> thank you joy for the opportunity to be with you. congratulations on "reid out," we're all excited about your new show. >> thank you. >> opportunity to talk about issues of concern to america's working families. that's not what the president is talking about. what we're seeing is illusion. it's important to enlarge the issue to understand that what the president does is say i'm doing things to help people, which he isn't, and then the stations pick it up and say the president is doing something to help people, and it's all about one thing, the stock market. and the market's picking up, the markets go up, that's his question, what's the market

doing. fed and president's illusions, bolstering the stock market and we're saying let's bolster america's working families. what he's saying -- he cannot alleviate the tax, can only defer it. if he were to forgive it, would hurt medicare and social security. >> and i want to show you a picture that we pulled up. this is the last time, as far as we know, that you met with donald trump face-to-face, here's the photo, speaker pelosi standing while all the men are sitting, and having to listen. lot of people enjoyed that photo, women for sure. but that's last time you've spoken with the president personally, is that correct? >> don't forget the state of the union address. >> october of last year. >> state of the union address in early february where i expressed my view to him very directly

about the stack of lies that he had in the state of the union address. >> you spoke with your papers. >> number of months we'll have that table full of many more women appointed by president joe biden. so that's something to look forward to. but at that picture i was at that moment pointing to him and saying, with you, mr. president, all roads lead to putin. of course that's what's happening now again. putin's interference into our u.s. elections to benefit his good friend, donald trump. >> just for a civics lesson for those who don't follow this day in, day out. congress appropriates money. power of the purse in the hands of the speaker and house of representatives. donald trump is proposing to do things that are fiscal, that are in your purview, the house's, could you envision a scenario

where democrats in the house would agree to allow donald trump to cut into the payroll tax or pass additional capital gains tax cuts for the rich when there's still no money for people depending on extra $600 in their unemployment. >> i can't envision a situation. but here it is, in middle of pandemic, three months ago passed the heroes act in house of representatives to meet the needs of the american people. at that time leader mcconnell pushed the pause button and 3.5 million more people were added to list of those infected. over 75,000 more people have died once they pushed pause. last week they came up with meager proposals and the president over the weekend did

even less to give illusion so the market would go up and people would think who are not paying attention he might be doing something. but let me say this, we have children food insecure in our country. in our bill, had $60 billion, in theirs, $250,000, to go to his country club where he wants to give a tax break, capital gains tax break dagain to the high en, they didn't have money for children who are food insecure but did have a tax deduction for business lunches that cost half a billion dollars to give. i think it's important to note as you're giving your history lesson the difference between democrats and republicans when it comes to meeting the needs of the american people. shouldn't be partisan to feed our children or not allow people to be evicted because caught up

in a pandemic. shouldn't be partisan that the president of the united states would say to people in the course of a pandemic, uncertainty about health and schools and uncertainty about money in their pockets, guess what i have for you, a benefit cut. >> yeah. it's pretty shocking. speaker nancy pelosi, we appreciate you up there fighting the good fight. thanks for being on. appreciate your time. >> my pleasure and congratulations to you again. >> thank you, madam speaker. next up on "the reid out," americans struggling for survival among failures at the top. >> i don't need to be innoce incentivized to go back to work, i want to go back to work so much. pandemics do end, i'm asking for enough help to get to the end.

senator brown and reverend william barber join me on the coming catastrophe for american family. plus fear and loathing, vp search into overtime. president trump's mt. rushmore, heads of rock, maybe he does belong. more of "the reid out" after this. t" after this the story of black america is the story of america.

it's the story of a people who have pushed this country to live up to its stated ideals. but black people have always believed in the promise of a better america. so, at this moment we're in now- we must choose to fight for that better america. and just like our ancestors who stood up to the violent racists of a generation ago, we will stand up to this president - and say 'no more'. because america is better than him. so we choose to be bigger, we choose to be bolder, we choose to bring back justice, respect and dignity to this country. we choose joe biden... to lead us towards that american promise, together. i'm joe biden and i approve this message.

as donald trump issued legally dubious directives from the comfort of his fancy country club in new jersey in front of audience of adoring high roller members, thousands of americans are worried how to pay the rent or buy food. >> my message to washington, d.c., is stop bickering with each other.

meanwhile people are starving. people did not get that money on friday, they just got $240 from arizona, what is that going to do for anybody? >> i will have no unemployment soon and i don't have a job and i don't know when i'm going back to work, so it really stress me out, how can i provide for them? because being a single mom is really hard. >> going from $600 to $200 and people already need money, there's already a need, unemployment, people, their checks are backlogged, school, kids, it's just a mess. >> and while rome burns, senate republicans like ted cruz of texas took to twitter to mock democratic senator ed markey who vowed to increase federal assistance to the unemployed.

cruz lost texans to the coronavirus, why be so cheap, give everyone $1 million a day forever and three soy lattes a day and foot massage, we have a magic money tree, use it. i'm joined by senator brown, give you opportunity to respond to ted cruz, seemed a callous and ugly tweet when you saw the suffering people areificatio fa. >> it's an ugly tweet and ugly time, considering what speaker pelosi passed bill in may, we thought we would be working on this and getting $600 a week and taking care of emergency rental assistance, helping to open schools safely and get billions to the schools to do what they needed to do to reconfigure the

classrooms and busses, and mcconnell felt no such emergency. offers finally anemic bill, the week that unemployment is expiring, that the moratorium on evictions is expiring, same week that literally dozens of moratoriums on water and electric shutoffs are about to expire in the middle of a pandemic. it's both cruel but also stupid policy. and ted cruz is one of them, but so are pretty much all the spineless republicans in the senate. none of them have stood up and pushed mcconnell to do the right thing. >> mcconnell and ted cruz both married wealthy women, they're fine, they're going to eat well so they don't have a problem. show you a picture, exemplifies the attitude we've seen toward

people who are struggling. in this case this was melania trump, climbing into motorcade in june, wearing this jacket about i really don't care, after visiting border with men and women locked up and mistreated and exposed to coronavirus. then you have donald trump doing -- i don't know what you call it in new jersey, a cheering section of the super rich to cheer him saying i'm going to give you more tax cuts for capital gains and things. you served with the congressional version of trump, is it just because they're rich and don't relate to regular people or some sort of ideological disdain and hatred for the poor and struggling? >> and it's got to do with race, as you know, joy. it's all of that. plenty of wealthy people in the

senate still have compassion and want to do things. but hear so many of my republican senate colleagues mock as senator cruz did but also say it's terrible to give $600 a week to unpetroleemploye workers. these are millionaires and billionaires in the cabinet saying we can't do that. okay with big tax cuts for rich people, with bailouts for wall street but $600 for worker? 600,000 ohioans are unemployed, going to take $600 out of their pockets because we haven't renewed that. it's cruel but bad economics, less purchasing power for consumers to buy products in ohio. it's so mean-spirited. might be this, too, joy. one of my favorite lincoln

quotes, got to get out of the white house and get my public opinion bath. i don't think many of my colleagues are getting out to talk to anybody. i'm not getting out personally, very careful, but talking to people on the phone, school board members to small business owners to presidents of the ywca and homeless shelters and all of that. people are talking about the challenges and poverty. and one of the most telling things about the pandemic, not been a huge increase in people falling into poverty because of the $600 a week. wait about a month if we don't do that, that's the kind of pain people are going to face. >> we're out of time but anybody you're talking to virtually complaining that the priority is have kids play for free big ten football? >> some far right-wingers who want to change the subject. clearly not on people's minds. we just need to focus and get

money out the door to families who are unemployed to keep them in their homes and have enough money to open the schools safely is crucial the next two weeks. >> yeah. absolutely. senator sherrod brown, thank you so much, appreciate your time tonight. thank you. meanwhile, earlier today, poor people's campaign held a digital sit-in and call-in to senator mitch mcconnell's office. bishop barber is the cochairman and author of we're called to be a movement. joins me now. i want to start, we have a lot of concern by people like jim jordan who might want to stay away from the whole football issue, had issues as assistant wrestling coach at ohio state but he's saying we need football. football is a priority. ben sasse wrote entire letter about it. struck me as i read the tweets

and saw the letter from it ben sasse that people who play football on scholarship generally come from families with no money, without the scholarship, can't go to college. there's big push for them to get out and run and jump for entertainment of rich people and meanwhile families can't afford food. i don't know if it struck you that way but that's how it struck me. >> it struck me that's the way mentally people feel about the poor. roots in racism. talk about give people money, they're going to be lazy. that's what slave masters and racists said about black people. but here's the ugly, damnable thing that americans are learning, racists are liars but also learning that racists are -- if you have people that commit racism, they're not only

hurting black people but will steal your health care, unemployment and life if you allow it. we released a report that says that senate is in play and poor people have the opportunity to make the play. eligible poor people did not vote because of problems with transportation, illness, but also because they never hear their issue. but in michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, new hampshire, arizona, minnesota, maine, florida, new mexico, north carolina, nevada, georgia, texas, mississippi, ohio, if just 1% to 19% of poor to low wealth people register to vote and vote, they can fundamentally change the united states senate and the presidential race. that's where we're putting our attention on. we have to be a power in this country because that's all they understand. >> that's an important point.

people blame poor people for not voting but as you said, there's having an issue to vote on, also the logistics of it. seeing attack on post office, if you go into one anywhere in the country, it's disproportionately staffed by people black and brown. there's unyielding attack on it as if only thing it does is delivers ballots. but also delivers medicine and paychecks and social security checks. if you break the post office, rural people won't get any mail because it's not lucrative route for fedex and other priority companies. what do you make of the fact this attack on the post office is being done narrow casting donald trump's re-election and not looking at all the ways that poor people are affected. >> it's done by trump and allowed by mcconnell and republicans and it's all-out war against the poor.

poor people already in depression, even before covid. but this is about annihilation. it's upwards of 50% and headed higher now because the way we have not responded to covid properly. we have mcconnell silent, trump trying to undermine the access to the ballot, 30 million more people unemployed. 27 more people without health care, and what does mcconnell want? 200 and some odd billion dollars for tax cuts and money for a plane the pentagon doesn't want and wants to protect corporations from liability. just a few hours ago, we had 200,000-plus people come online for moral march on mcconnell to challenge his meanness. people are sick of this, starting to recognize these folk have disdain for poor and low

income, doesn't matter what your color is, there's all-out war against the poor and attempt to filter more money to the greedy and they don't care what they use. that's why we did this report and why we're organizing poor people across this country, and saying in political party that wants to win, it's political suicide not to organize that group and speak to their issues and health care and issues of voter suppression that hurt black people and poor people as well. if you mobilize that group, they can fundamentally shift the elections and power in the country, senate, presidential level and governors level. we have to change the narrative. these folk will shut down the post office to stop our political power being exhibited

if they can get away with it. >> absolutely. hopefully joe biden and others are listening, it only takes a little money to get out there and organization these voters. 34 million people, hello. bishop william barber, always good to talk to you, thank you, appreciate you. >> thank you. if joe biden is looking to build suspense around vp selection, it's working. great, "the reid out" continues after this. i have moderate to severe pnow, there's skyrizi. ♪ things are getting clearer, yeah i feel free ♪ ♪ to bare my skin ♪ yeah that's all me. ♪ nothing and me go hand in hand ♪ ♪ nothing on my skin ♪ that's my new plan. ♪ nothing is everything.

the democratic national convention begins one week from today, wait continues for joe biden to pick his running mate. presumptive nominee huddled with family in delaware over the weekend. announcement could come any moment. as he prepares to lock in choice, michigan mayor gretchen whitmer met with biden in person. erin, start with you, wrote a piece that's great reading. write that black women insist that biden write us into

history. racial and gender attacks, meeting governor whitmer met with frustration where reached point that choosing african-american is not only advised but requirement. a woman named pamela pugh had issues with governor whitmer on issues including flint and harbor schools. opinions that whitmer might race ahead of the senators and other figures. >> talking about any other white woman than elizabeth warren, it's not like black women don't intend to vote for joe biden, black women have been vanguard

of the democratic party, they made joe biden presumptive nominee and plan to vote for him in the fall. but issue is around enthusiasm. whether joe biden's vice presidential pick is someone who can galvanize and energize the base to get them to the polls, which black women are going to do, but do what they also do in election cycle, bring your sorority, church, community, all the family members to the polls with them. what i heard in the earful that i got from many of the organizers, voters, is that they plan to vote for joe biden in november regardless, but whether he puts a black woman on the ticket makes a difference whether they show up or show out. >> cornell, the beef that people

have, or the woman who wrote the op-ed, that's she's not ready to be vice president, unvetted and not ready. but in specific issues not been sensitive to concerns of black michiganers, what do you make of the fact there's still a pull and push within biden world to hunt for anybody other than the black women? for a lot of people that's what it feels like. when you look at history, if you go through michigan, new jersey and virginia, winning ticket has included a black running mate. that's been true even for gretchen whitmer, governor phil murphy in new jersey, and the governor of virginia. >> and look at presidential elections, joy, tell me when was the last time we had a more

successful ticket in modern times than when it was a diverse ticket? i'll wait. tell me last time we had back-to-back majorities with the ticket that was all white and all male. but i'm not here to tear down any of the women candidates, white or black, i think they're all fantastic. but i would make this point, from strategic standpoint, having diverse ticket with african-american woman on it, makes strategic sense. i don't know how i'm even having to argue with people that having african-american woman on the ticket is a strategic imperative. having diverse ticket is strategic imperative. when you look at battleground states, poll says by 27 points voters in battleground states agreed it was more important to have african-american woman on

the ticket more than agreed having white woman on the ticket. particularly even white women, 48% agreed it was more important to have african-american woman on the ticket. when you look at -- what did obama do? and john kerry, 43% of the white voters, lost by 3 million. barack obama, 2008, 43% of the white votes and won by nearly 9 million. diversity is a strategic imperative. >> and will note now had more than 100 black leaders also sign a statement in solidarity calling for black woman vice president, pretty loud, clear and definitive call made to joe biden. we'll see if he hears it. thank you both very much. get registered, sign up for mail-in ballot and get ready to

vote. find out deadlines in your state. vote.org. i can't believe i have to say this, donald trump does not belong on mt. rushmore, "the reid out" continues after this. e reid out" continues after this cut! is that good? no you were talking about allstate and... i just... when i... accident forgiveness from allstate. click or call for a quote today. struggling to clean toughm mr. clean. accident forgiveness from allstate. bathroom messes with sprays? then you gotta try mr. clean magic erasers. just wet.. squeeze.. and erase tough messes around your bathtub and shower. mr. clean magic erasers. there's no clean like mr. clean

california's economic challenges are deepening. frontline workers stretched too thin. our nurses and medical professionals in a battle to save lives. our schools, in a struggle to safely reopen, needing money for masks and ppe, and to ensure social distancing. and the costs to our economy, to our state budget?

mounting every day. we need to provide revenues now, to solve the problems we know are coming. okay, remember when in the middle of the pandemic, donald trump flew out to mt. rushmore to deliver fourth of july speech in front of historic backdrop? according to "new york times" that was part of effort by south dakota governor to please trump. who told the governor he aspired to have his image etched on the monument. a white house aide even followed up to ask what is the process to add additional presidents to mt. rushmore. there is no process to do that. the monument on stolen native american land is not suitable for additional carving.

n noem thought he was joking. >> i said come to south dakota, we have mt. rushmore. he goes do you know it's my dream to have my face on mt. rushmore? i started laughing, and he wasn't laughing. totally serious. >> despite the fact that "times" reports that noem greeted trump with a four foot replica with a fifth presidential likeness. his. not first time that leaders in america and around the world have gone above and beyond to flatter trip. in first trip abroad leaders were told to complement him on electoral college victory, and not first time trump has gotten enthusiastic about a project involving his likeness. according to former aide recording his voice for disney's hall of president was a duty that filled the president with

unusual boyish excitement. trump of course denied the report about mt. rushmore, then tweeted sounded like good idea to me. and a photo of himself posing next to it. i can't believe i have to say this, lack of response to greatest health crisis faced in 100 years doesn't belong on mt. rushmore, even if mt. rushmore blocked there. mt. rushmore blocked there no sweat! try it and love it or get your money back.

as we've seen over the last four years, donald trump has led a partisan assault on our democratic institutions, effectively gutting them from the inside out. interfered in administration of justice, flouted the rule of law and used military for domestic use, and undermined voting access, the bedrock of the country but in stunning interview attorney general william barr is claiming it's the democrats who want to tear down the system. >> the left wing has really withdrawn and pulled away from the umbrella of classical liberal values. the left has essentially withdrawn from this model. and really represents russo-ian

revolutionary party that believes in tearing down the system, that what's wrong with america today has to do with the institutions we have and we have to tear them down. >> despite trump's abuses power in the mueller report and during impeachment, barr claimed without irony that it's the democrats who are power hungry. and he couched his attacks in religion terms as if all democrats are godless heretics. >> they're interested in total victory. it's a secular religion. it's a substitute for religion, and they have shredded the norms of our system to do what they can to drive them from office or to debilitate his administration. and i think it's because of the desire for power. they want to run people's lives so they can design utopia for all of us, and that's what -- you know, that's what turns them

on. and it's the lust for power. >> lust for power. this is far from the politically neutral language we've come to expect from past attorneys general. just wait and hear how he described the black lives matter movement. and that is coming up negligent. . . . . . . . . t . t . t ♪ don't just think about where you're headed this summer. think about how you'll get there.

when you talk about bill barr making statements bashing left wingsh extremist groups, he las did this on june 4th at a press

conference when he stood up and hen really did bash antifa and kept repeating radical left wing groups. he declined to say that one day before, on june 3rd, his department of justice actually indicted three members of the boogalu investigation and it caused me to pull out that doj press release from june 3rd. it says that today we are announcing threee alleged membs of the movement have been indicted for a conspiracy to cause destruction during the protests the las vegas and possession of an unregistered december strengdestructive devi molotov cocktail. >> i mean, the suspension of disbelief required to think that

he doesn't know what his own department of justice knows. he said in this interview that russia would have no interest in seeing donald trump being re-elected because he's been tougher on russia than anybody. he's pretending that he doesn't knowth russia is trying to atta the election. he's claiming it is the black lives matter organizations that are violent and scarey when there have literally been people arrested in all black breaking windows and going into these movements. is it ignorance or ideology with him? because dehe's also in the past talked about am decademia and popularan culture destroying religion. >> i think it's ideology. i think he would like to create a theocracy where everyone in this country worships his god and practices his religion. i think his goal really involves two priorities.

one is making this an inhospitable place for all other religions or people who choose noteo to practice religion. and i think he's also looking to consolidate power in the chief executive because he has this notion of a unitary, all powerful executive as king, which pounfortunately the supre court just shot down. i think thesu mother of all disinformation was the attack he made against the left for being cowards. and here is how he couched it. he said, you know, the left are filled with cowards because they're afraid to buck party orthodoxsy. they're afraid to voice any opinions for fear that the leadersh leadership, thinking what kind oft projection is that? because isn't that exactly why

the right, the cowards on the right have remained silent, for fear of an angry tweet from donald trump? you know, i think the propaganda that bill barr tried to feed us would make putin blush. >> indeed. glen, thank you very much. really appreciate you being here.re "all in" with chris hayes starts right now. tonight on "all in," as congress bickers over the coronavirus stimulus, the lives and livelihoods of millions of people hang in the balance. why there is always money for wall street but not for working americans. then, the friday night massacre at the post office. dnc chair tom perez is here on how democrats are trying to protect the election. and it's decision time for joe biden. this week we'll finally find out about his vice presidential pick. former congressman katie hill on the
