that time proximity, which i knew and had kind of forgotten briefly, great reminder. jeffrey toobin, thanks for coming on. >> all righty, pal, good to talk to you. >> that's "all in." and "the rachel maddow show" starts now. good evening, rachel. >> much appreciated. i haven't slept a wink. anything could happen next hour. i'm completely beyond it. it has been such an -- it's been a big week. there's been a lot. this was the front page in wilmington, delaware, where joe biden lives, where he and senator kamala harris accepted the nominations of their party for presidential and vice presidential ticket of the democratic party, this is the front page that wilmington, delaware woke up to, joe's time.

this is the front page everybody woke up to in the town where joe biden was born, scranton, pennsylvania. see at top, city native joe biden accepts democratic nomination. provinghath former vice president rises from green ridge streets to lead the party. and rest of the front page. this is where it started, northeastern pennsylvania, biden backers hold watch parties to mark key moment. look at this. lower left, trump questions biden's local roots. this is the scranton paper. he said he's from here, he's not really from here. don't believe it when he tells you he's from here. we're about five minutes away from president trump saying that joe biden is from kenya too, he's not really from scranton. president questions biden's local roots.

so those are biden's hometown papers this morning. around the country today, including some of the states thought to be in play for the general election. arizona republic on the left, biden takes dramatic mantle, i will draw on the best of us, quoting from the apex of his acceptance speech last night. denver post on the right, biden vows to unite. st. louis post dispatch, good tabloid style headlines, character is on the ballot. democratic national convention. an accepting nod, biden pushes for unity with party and nation. atlanta journal constitution on the right, unify his party and nation. star tribune from minnesota left-hand side, battle for soul of a nation. biden aims to unify a count. and detroit free press, biden, i

am ready. from lincoln nebraska, lincoln journal star, a vow to unite, biden accepts democratic nominations, says he will overcome darkness. and the right, oregonian from portland, oregon, biden calls for national unity. look at excellent photo they put above the fold on the front page. biden and harris in the middle, arms in the air, both wearing masks. fireworks behind them, would be first lady and second gentleman flanking them like choreographed morris dancers. such a good shot on the cover of the oregonian. even when you get big history making, full page above the fold moments like this, news context is still inescapable. you did see a little bit of this in the papers we just showed from all over. i think it leaps out most though

from the papers that have really big, national reach. for example, "new york times" front page, all the way across the top of all the columns, biden vows to guide u.s. out of darkness. but then handily, looking for a realtime contemporaneous example of what he might mean by darkness, boom, left column, bannon faces fraud charge. same thing at "washington post." barren headline, biden calls for hopefulness amid pandemic and economic woes,ra democratic nominee says he will draw on the best of us. boom, left column, bannon charged in fraud case. "wall street journal." biden makes case to oust trump. and right underneath the photo, bannon indicted on fraud charges.

"l.a. times," same thing. offers light, bannon faces federal fraud charges. looking at front pages in a couple of papers, president's campaign manager getting arrested and indicted on federal fraud charges actually got top billing over what just happened with the democratic presidential nomination last night. dallas morning news, on the left, bannon charged in fraud scheme is top, next to the title of the paper there. tampa bay times, bannon arrested in wall fraud. because this is the trump presidency, this is not the first time, not even the second time, it is the third time that we have seen a campaign manager or chairman from the president's 2016 campaign get arrested. and the timing is just -- i mean i guess nothing is too weird at this point but this is remarkable confluence of events.

democrats announcing they raised more than $70 million for the biden and harris champaign in the dnc, they see the convention as flawless, everything they wanted from it, even as first ever virtual convention. first time today, two halves of the ticket, biden and harris doing their first joint interviews, they're proceeding. meanwhile, at the exact same time, the president and white house are having to pretend once again, yeah, president definitely barely knows the newly arrested guy. definitely isn't somebody who ran his campaign and served as senior adviser for months in the white house. even right now as their opponent is accepting the nomination after triumphant convention, just chaos ahead in terms of planning for rnc next we're, president having to do that song and dance again, oh, yeah, i barely know the guy. >> i haven't been dealing with

him for a long period of time as most of the people in this room know. he was involved in our campaign, worked for goldman sachs, a lot of companies. but he dealing with him at all. i haven't dealt with him at all over years now. >> you know, when the president's lawyer was arrested, president said michael cohen was a pr person who did small legal work, very small legal work. and the president's campaign chairman was arrested, paul manafort, the president said quote, i didn't know manafort well, he wasn't with the campaign long. he was with the campaign as you know for a very short period of time. when lev and igor were arrested back in october, all the pictures emerged all of

different times they had been with the president, remember when they got arrested, president said about lev and igor, quote, i don't know these gentlemen. why are you in all the pictures with them then? national security adviser pled guilty, what the white house said about mike flynn when he got charged. michael flynn was quote, a former obama administration official who did have volunteer work for the campaign. he was national security adviser! when roger stone was arrested for things he did and things he lied about during the presidential campaign, president tried the same thing. you know, roger didn't work for me in the campaign, except way at the beginning, long before we're talking about him. this is how loyalty works. loyalty demands are infinite. the loyalty reciprocity, what,

you're breaking up, i can't hear -- could you call me back? now the president, as he prepares to accept the renomination of his party for prerk president, as the biden and harris campaign takes off like a rocket, now the president says i his campaign chairman some guy who worked for goldman sachs, can barely remember him. did he work at white house? who knows, nobody can remember that. steve bannon has pled not guilty to felony charges. now starting to see headlines sourced to him bragging about how he very much knows the president and is still in contact with the president. steve bannon is thought to be facing a considerable sentence if he's convicted here. theoretically, maximum sentence for these crimes, decades in prison. realistically more like six to nine years he's facing.

if he's under pressure from prosecutors to help them with other crimes he knows about, if he's under pressure from prosecutors to become a cooperating witness like he was in the roger stone trial to earn leniency on the multiple felony charges he's facing himself, it's more dramatic than usual for president to say he couldn't pick steve bannon out of a loip. while steve bannon is saying, yes, we've been talking recently. president has to once again manage somebody under serious federal criminal pressure themselves, thinking about their own life and mortality, and weighing whether or not to flip on the president, fact he's having to consider that again because of all the people around him arrested and charged and pled guilty to felonies since he's been in prison, he's having to deal with that again now

heading into the convention. that's not the normal background noise of the conventions. running against the incumbent, doesn't usually do you the favor having third straight chain chief arrested on the day opposition picks its nominee. world doesn't stop spinning for politics. financial times out of london, global reach. they interesting did not lead with joe biden accepting the democratic nomination for president but with apparent assassination attempt against alexi nevalny. leader that vladimir putin has. as happened to so many of his rivals. first terrifying reports in west

that navalny appears to have been poisoned. flight was diverted after he fell seriously and suddenly ill. brought to hospital in siberia, personal doctor and family want him treated outside of russia. russian hospital he's treated at refused to release him, even though very good german hospital offered to treat him and medevac was sent sto collect him. "new york times" tonight, headline, looks good, after day of delays, russian doctors clear navalny for transfer to germany. headline is good, but subhead, decision came after german medical team examined him and decided he was safe to travel but evacuation was further delayed until saturday. from the story in the "times"

tonight. navalny's personal doctor tells the "times" she believes russian authorities have tried to delay his departure out of russia long enough for the poison in his system to diminish and become difficult or impossible to identify. standoff dragged on with navalny remaining in coma and evacuation plane still at airport. that's the status as we know as of right now. president trump of course has been asked about this crisis, he's expressed so much admiration of vladimir putin and this fits the pattern of putin trying to kill his critics. president trump wouldn't give any response, said nothing since it's happened, navalny has slipped into coma, russia won't let his comatose body be shipped

out to identify what they used to try to kill him. plane is still sitting on the tarmac, they still won't let him go. as far as the united states goes, this apparently is fine now. it's just astonishing. gut wrenching, this is consequential geopolitically, and even after everything we've seen with this president, particularly when it comes to russia, it's still fundamentally shocking to have the week end this way. started with intelligence committee saying full stop, campaign chairman, paul manafort, was in repeated, sustained, and secret contact with a russian intelligence officer throughout the duration of the trump campaign why russia was running intelligence operation to hurt hillary clinton and help donald trump. week ends with putin suspected

to have poisoned yet another opposition figure in his country. and president trump remaining absolutely silent about it even as the rest of the western world tries to come together to force russia to at least let other people try to keep this guy alive. president trump has nothing to say. we are continuing to watch the navalny saga unfold as our own president sits this one out, lets other countries try to help, maybe. i'll keep you posted if we learn they've got his bodied moved on to that play plane to get to european hospital. today in new york, seattle, san diego and a few other cities, there were marches for the dead. trump lies, people die. marches for the dead to mourn the more than 170,000 americans killed by covid thus far.

we don't know how the administration is going to try to spin the botched american response to the pandemic at their convention next week or if they might just try to ignore it. vice president mike pence did a bizarre interview on cnn today in which he literally said we think there is a miracle around the corner. that's still apparently their plan. meanwhile the country actually needs a real plan. the country is still in chaos. individual families, individual towns, every state in the country is still facing chaos in terms of how we're going to handle this in the immediate going forward, particularly when it comes to schools. with no national plan that makes any sense, up to and including every school district and every college muddling through on its own, trying to make their own decisions. restart schools and colleges that have made decisions thus

far to try to restart as normal or with extra precautions, those decisions are falling apart almost everywhere they're tried. and lots of places had initial plans, they're turning out not to be adequate to the challenge because the virus is still so widespread and spreading so freely in our country. and you can't safely open congregate facilities of any kind as long as you've got widespread community transmission. that principle holds, for nursing homes, schools, large workplace environments. ton of viral transmission, it's going to make its way into places with congregate living or working and going to spread quickly in those environments and you're not going to be able to keep them open. still everybody is making this up as they go along. making their own decision, as

school after school and college after college goes through this, fails and tries to come up with plan "c." university of notre dame student newspaper. the administration tried to go ahead with in-person classes and they've had outbreaks since. this is the headline from the student paper. don't make us write obituaries. the university administration has largely blamed the covid-19 outbreak on students attending off-campus parties. not entirely misplaced it's deflecting responsibility for the administrations insisting they were prepared for us to return to campus. clearly they were not. flaws in testing, contact tracing and isolation and quarantine have proven inefficient. at notre dame, two week gap between return to campus and implementation of testing represents gross oversight on the administration and puts the

tricampus and south bend communities in serious danger. john jenkins insisted it was worth with the risk. blame doesn't just lie with one party, we as students, staff, faculty and administrators, we longed to return but we're at risk of hurting the community we've come to know and love. we implore members of the community to do everything to approach this virus in appropriate and serious manner. otherwise we fear the worst is yet to come. don't make us write a tri-county obituary, administrator's obituary, a dining hall worker's obituary, a friend's obituary, a roommate's obituary. don't make us write yours.

notre dame, student paper, front page editorial today. i don't know what the white house and president are going to do with covid at convention. how do you run for re-election when 170,000 americans have died under your watch while you've supervised the most incompetent failed response on the planet to global pandemic that countries with far fewer resources, supposedly less advanced countries have handled miles worse than you have? how blow it worse than any other country on earth. possibly as many as 200,000 dead americans by the time americans go to vote on whether or not you get four more moreyears. how do you do that? how do you do at your

convention? pretend it didn't happen? make up a new story. i don't know how they're going to deal with it. little is known what's going to happen with rnc. and it starts monday. months of confusion which city it would be held in. republican party officials and trump administration officials have picked a physical location to act as a hub, that's the word you're using, a hub for all of next week's primetime speeches. they're going to have a physical hub or center in rnc. but not in charlotte, north carolina, where it was to be held and bulk of the party business will be conducted next week. nor in jacksonville, florida, where he was going to move it because north carolina was trying to mitigate the spread. not charlotte or jacksonville,

instead a physical rnc in washington, d.c.. republican party holding nominating convention in d.c. going to make a huge bid for d.c. votes in general election? hillary clinton got like 90% of the vote in 2016, you think you're going to take a bite out of that? rnc is going to be in washington, d.c., after all of this, andrew mellon auditorium, the central hub, a fancy, ornate building, and federal property. which means theoretically under federal ethics rules should be off-limits for partisan political activities like hosting a convention, that's illegal. it's the trump era, what does law mean? on top of that, one closest to

president's trump hotel. around the 'lock frblock from o another. google maps takes the stick man four minutes to go from one to the other. on the other corner. it's the closest auditorium they could conceivably use against federal ethics laws while still convincing people the trump hotel is best place to stay for convenient access to the rnc. and this makes it easy for the trump organization to maximize its profit from the whole event. if you really want to go whole hog, why not hike the rates for the week of the rnc -- oh, they did that. "daily beast" reports that the hotel jacked up prices for convention dates once the president started mulling the idea of holding the thing in d.c. across the street from his hotel. room rates spiked more than 60% for those dates, as soon as the

president started musing openly he could do the rnc in washington. listings for rooms show one adult on the night of the presidential address starting at $795 and running as high as $2,000. making sure that this is going to be a boon for the president personally in terms of his financial stake in this. on top of that, there's this interesting little wrinkle. which is what they're going to call this thing. i mentioned earlier there is still an actual republican national convention happening, physically, in charlotte, north carolina. contractually, the delegate meeting in charlotte is locked in, and that technically is the actual convention. that's what's being run by the republican national convention committee. what that means, because it's hundreds of miles away, what's

happening in d.c. is completely different. separate event put on by the trump campaign so technically can't be called the republican national convention, what they do in d.c., has to be referred to as something else, still don't know the name, even three days out. it's not like people planning on broadcasting this need to plan what to call it or anything. don't know. who is speaking, what time things are on. if they're going to break the rules in d.c. and try to put more than 50 people into one inside venue. we literally don't know the name of it. it's friday night. it starts monday. maybe -- but this is, part and parcel of interesting four days, expected to culminate in the president giving acceptance speech not at mellon auditorium but south lawn of the white

house, poses same ethics concerns of using any other federal property. also note they're planning on that being outdoor event, which poses interesting logistical questions, it's not just fireworks after the speeches are over, but giving the speech at the south lawn, which means if there's weather, you know, what do they do? it's also possible, we know from other outdoor remarks by the president at the white house, if there's any protests nearby, i don't know if there will be but if there are, may be able to hear those over the president speaking. i should also mention, i mentioned the possibility of inclement weather. it's not just normal weather possibilities for august in d.c., also a nonzero chance could be looking at two hurricanes hitting the southeastern united states simultaneously in the middle of

next week's republican convention. but i'm sure we'll be fine. i'm sure they've thought of everything, i'm sure there are plans in place to handle it all and backup plans for the backup plans if anything goes wrong. you know these guys. lots more to come tonight, stay with us. with us.

obama's speech shook me

because of his despair laid bare. we cannot fathom the rage of every living president and i want to say the dead ones too, teal when they watch donald trump, and i've not seen any president tap that despair and share it with the country -- that's my theory of the case of what president obama did tonight. the book comes out on tuesday. this is not my normal thing. i'm on msnbc, about to talk to someone from cnn talking about fox news. i do not do the cable news wars, not usually my thing, but i think this is important. i've read the book and want you to know some of what is in it. as we head into the republican convention and this president trying to get reelected, if you don't pay attention to fox news or know what's in ryan stalter's new book, you're missing a

little bit of a rosetta stone for stuff about this presidency that otherwise doesn't make sense to normal humans. i want to jump in and show you what i mean. quote, while the network gives the trump administration a huge boost, also creates tension in the white house. trump's obsession with the opinion shows causes chaos when he lachz on to impossible and illegal policy ideas. staffers watch sean hannity's show to know what the boss is going to be listening to. hannity just one member of this crazy cable news cabinet. he deserved credit for getting longtime news commentator john bolton hired as national security adviser. carlson got the credit when bolton eventually fell out of favor. and sacking of jeff sessions?

jeanine piro was in trump's ear for that. lauer ingram instrumental in that. average voter doesn't know just how many of trump's actions and inactions are dictated by the network. frankly the average political journalist doesn't watch often enough. guilty as charged. i frequently read stories by white house correspondents that describe unvetted white house hires and unhinged policy decisions and unglued tweets but leave out the cause. can be traced to tv habits. ha hatred for ukraine because hannity said hillary clinton colluded with them. when he threatened north korea,

it was because of a fox segment about kim's nuclear button. when he told iran never threaten the united states again, it was about a fox segment about saber rattling. attacked google because of fox, raged against migrant caravans because of fox and got the facts wrong and wrong again because of mistakes and misreporting by network. kobe bryant died in helicopter crash, he sent condolences but got death toll wrong because of fox. brian stelter's new book, "hoax," out on tuesday, he details to me newly disturbing news about part of what has gone wrong in our nation's botched covid response. there's here. quote, there are dozens of

reasons why the united states lagged so far behind other countries in preparation for the pandemic, cultural, economic and political. but no doubt one is trump/fox feedback loop. some of fox's biggest stars downplayed the threat. trump echoed them, they echoed back. thing that's going to end this is warmer weather, greg gutfeld said, thank god for global warning, jesse watters wisewracked, it's going to disappear. trump said one day, it's like a miracle, it will disappear. most americans knew that trump was untrustworthy but fox base trusted him, and mr. hannity. and laura ingram who called democrats the pandemic party and

wa watters, i'm not afraid, you shouldn't be ever. worst, worst, worst-case scenario, could be the flu. shockingly irresponsible stuff and fox executives knew it. by beginning of march they were taking precautions that belied the just the flu statement. canceled a big event for hundreds of advertisers, instituted deep cleanings of the office and work from home in place. but stars kept sending mixed messages to millions of viewersmeviewers. on and on until "fox and friends" cohost said it's safest time to fly and falwell said people were overreacting. critics said network had blood on its hands. viewers in demographic most at

risk. privately admitted that don't worry was harmful. spillover effects in the influence in the trump white house and federal government. it's impossible to know how many americans who died as result of covid would have survived if the government had acted more swiftly in february and march, but it's obvious that fox's fingerprints were all over the government's response. quote, hazardous to our viewers, dangerous, unforgivable, some of the words some fox news staffers used to describe their coverage of the pandemic in u.s. hospitals filled up with patients, lunatics claimed that the hospitals were empty and stalked the entrances to look for proof. look, not many cars in the parking lot. one doctor at elmhurst hospital in queens heard this second hand. they think the hospital is

empty, positively stunned. where are they getting this stuff? in part, fox. mainstreamed ideas from the far right, and that's sara carter did. you can see it on twitter, people saying film your hospital, driving by their hospitals and they're not seeing, in the ones that i'm seeing, not seeing anybody in the parking lots, wondering what's going on. trump told trish regan that he believed china would have it under control fairly soon. in april supposedly, it dies with the hotter weather, and that's a beautiful date to look forward to. quote, in the pantheon of infamous presidential falsehoods, in april, supposedly, it dies with the hotter weather may be the saddest in history. if the virus had actually faded away in april, hundreds of thousands of people around the

world might still be alive today. but reported in phone call to rivera, we hope that the problem goes away in april because heat kills this virus, we think. it's a problem in china, but it hasn't been spreading very much. his friends at fox indulged this. trump talked like the threat had passed when he merely closed side door of the house leaving other doors and windows wide open because busy with post impeachment purge. put richard grenell, former fox commentator in charge of the spy agencies. she made 360 degree spin through the revolving door, trump to fox and back to trump. all as different strains of the virus were spreading fast in washington state, california and new york. hundreds of americans were sick and doesn't know it because u.s.

agencies were testing a few thousand a day. president and his favorite channel were telling them not to worry. i mean it turns your stomach to read that and relive some of that, right? here at over 176,000 deaths in this country. and again, i don't do cable news wars, not trying to pick a internecine fight. but thing reported in new book that's most galling and makes you want to tear your hair out is maybe worse than that, that's next. stay with us. next stay with us and the clock could be ticking towards bad breath, receding gums and possibly tooth loss. help turn back the clock on gingivitis with parodontax. leave bleeding gums behind. parodontax. experience the adventure of a bigger world in a highly capable lexus suv at the golden opportunity sales event. lease the 2020 rx 350 for $419 a month for 36 months.

this is from page nine of the new book "hoax," out on tuesday of next week. being the president's shadow chief of staff, as mr. hannity was known around the white house, could be a thrill. but it was also a serious

burden, he counseled president trump all hours of the day. one of hannity's cavedants said the president treated him like melania. would tell you off the record that trump is a bat bleep crazy person, one of his associates said, another colleague concurred. hannity has said more than once, quote, he's crazy. further into the book. charlottesville turned the whispers about trump's fitness for office into full-blown shouts on other tv channels. on fox just whispering and just off the air. i really think he's lost it, one remarked to me. not colloquially, genuinely questioned his sanity. and not allow.

a prominent fox anchor admitted their concerns about his health and well-being, he's not well, in same concerned tone people use talking about their grandfather. for some journalists, including at fox, mental health was a running line of speculation. narcissist disorder was one possibility, others frightening, delusional and dementia were invoked in private. that's from the new book from cnn's chief media correspondent, brian stelter. "hoax:donald trump, fox news and distortion of truth dt." mr. stelter, thanks for being here, appreciate you making the time. >> thank you. it's good to be here. >> you know enough about me to know i don't like the cable news wars, it's not my thing.

>> you don't. it's true. >> i don't play those reindeer games. but this is a roseetta stone for people who don't want watch what is going on with this presidency that don't make sense otherwise, is that what you're doing here? >> that's why i did it. so many sources inside fox news pouring their hearts out to me in normal course of work covering media. said the channel they used to love and respect had gone off the rails because president trump slowly but surely took control of the channel. roger ailes was fired, died, no one took over, lack of leadership and most devastating when the pandemic hit american shore. it's as if the president was lulled into false sense of complacency by fox. he pretended the threat was over, so did the network. and as i said, never know how

many lives were lost as result. but terrifying to think the president is so misled by this single network. >> you detail a number of policy pronouncements and actions by the president, wild accusations and provocations from the president that appear to have come directly from chirons put up, describe them as shadow government that appear to be knowingly, they have it now, using it knowingly, and privately maintaining they believe the president is unwell, is mentally not there, not capable of holding down the job. that doesn't just feel dangerous, it feels like an incredibly salient political decision. >> it's nothing close to journalism, you know. and there are real journalists

at fox uncomfortable with this, disturbed by the situation. they don't have the power. primetime folks, "fox and friends" people have the power, they're talking to trump and turning around and telling their friends in hannity's words, trump is a run-on sentence, an executive, he is not well. disconnect between the onair rhetoric and off-air reality. that's propping up this presidency. hard to imagine 40% approval were it not for the people at fox, who -- i don't like to talk about this, but they're lying about him every day, talking about a president who doesn't exist, someone who stopped the virus from coming from china. we know it's not true but repeated over and over again in a form of propaganda we've never had in this country. >> we're covering the 2020 conventions now. first night of coverage this week, i talked about how the

democrats in 2016 had so much drama at beginning of the convention, russians dumping all the stolen email and chair of the party resigning at outset of the convention. one of the things you write and your book in large part as a media book is how losing that rut or whatever you thought of him is something that has never been replaced at the network. what do you see as the future there? i don't feel like you are giving us a clear sense of where trump and fox go together from here on out. >> well, the last five years have been unpredictable. no one thought trump was going to get elected and no one at fox thought so. now folks inside fox, including the very top, they're concerned about what happens if he loses. will he try to launch his own

network? the only way we can get more poisoned is if trump has his own tv noetwork and tries to compet with fox. that's a fear inside fox corporation, that trump will become a competitor. i think there is a view at fox that being at the opposition is better, being with obama is easier than being for trump. they would rather be anti-democrat than pro-trump. whether you want fox defeated, whether you want it successful, we know how it operates. this is an anti-democratic schedule. that's why they weren't showing the convention when you were last night. >> and we will be showing the republican convention next week. >> now, isn't that interesting, differences. these are not symmetrical. >> exactly. and you actually made a very good point in the book, that there is no mirror image story of fox, which i greatly

appreciate. the book is called "hoax." it is out on tuesday. brian, thanks for being here and giving us a preview. good luck, my friend. it is nice to see you. >> thank you. >> all right. we'll be right back. stay with us. we'll be right bac. stay with us et pieces of albacore tuna, or alaskan salmon, or ahi yellowfin with just water and sea salt. new wild catch from chicken of the sea. enjoy the catch of the day any day.
