tv Yasmin Vossoughian Reports MSNBC May 6, 2023 11:00am-12:01pm PDT
11:00 am
like, where the conservative christian majority there was able to win those races with, you know, really a mandate, let's say. that might not be the case here tonight. >> right, we'll be watching. that does it for me, thank you for watching. stay right where you are, yasmin reports begins right now. now. hey, everybody good afternoon, i'm yasmin vossoughian. we're following several major stories this afternoon. on the, record president biden talking exclusively with msnbc in a wide range of topics. his thoughts on house speaker, kevin mccarthy, avoid a default on the nation's debt. as well as the growing humanitarian crisis along the southern border. plus, defending a second term as president at his age, and what he really thinks about his predecessor, donald trump. >> we cannot let this election
11:01 am
be one where the same man who was president four years ago becomes president again. look, of -- what >> is the difference between the two of you? >> everything. everything. everything. >> speaking of donald, trump or getting our first look at what he said in his deposition for the eeg carol civil rape. trial will take a look at why his confusion and one key moment may prove his a liability. >> that's my wife. >> which woman? >> here. >> this is e. jean carroll. >> the coronation of king charles and queen camilla, much of the circumstances are, over but a lot of questions remain of how the monarchy moves forward. we begin today with president biden's wide ranging exclusive interview with my colleague, we want to get right to it with more on that. mike, as, always it's great to
11:02 am
talk to you about. this walk us through what we heard from the president, what we learned especially after announcing his reelection bid. >> yasmin, good to be with you, as a white house correspondent it's my job to keep track of everything president biden says every day. in the last few months, especially in the run up to and following his election announcement that he will seek a second term, we have heard the president asked a number of times about his. age he will be 80 to an election, day 2020. for whether he can commit to voters if he can do the job. effectively, gattman every time the president's been asked in the past he simply response with two words. which is watch. me but our colleague asked the question a different, way and she got a different result. let's take a listen to it. >> when there is not a fortune 500 company in the world looking to hire a ceo in his 80s. so why wouldn't 82-year-old, joe biden, be the right person for the most important job in
11:03 am
the world? >> because i have a hell of a lot of wisdom. and i know more than the vast majority -- or experience than anybody he's ever run for the office. i've proven myself to be honorable as well as effective. >> so yasmin, another big takeaway is belated to these questions but age. we've seen so many republicans, including some republican presidential candidates, say essentially that because of biden's, age a vote for president biden next year is really a vote for a harris presidency. and so, really the first time we've got president biden his own take on how his own number two, biden of course is a former vice president, has been doing a good job. let's listen to his answer. >> i think that vice president harris has not got the credit she. deserves she was an attorney general in the state of california, she has been a united states, senator she is really really big good. and with everything going, on she hasn't got the attention she deserves. >>, yasmin there really has
11:04 am
been a lot of focus, of, course on harris and her role as vice president. the first woman to ever hold the job. and there really has been something of a strategy shift it seems in the, white house we saw for instance, the presidents announcement video. harris was featured in it more than ten. times and we've seen recently, in, fact yesterday, it's another example. the white house seems to be doing more to show that they are a governing partners. it was a more lighthearted. ben we saw the president and vice president traveling together to go get tacos on cinco de mayo. it was a kind of outing we used to see a lot with president obama and vice president biden. that parent that voters sent to the white house for two terms. and it's something that we're seeing a lot more of now, to, as the president and vice president seek another four years. >> mike, we appreciate you. we are going to be playing much more of that interview two hours ahead, as. welcome to talk to you. i want to get to london, now and a moment in history nearly all of us have never been alive to -- the coronation of a new british
11:05 am
monarch. >> god save the king. >> god save the king. >> king charles the third and camilla, the queen consort, officially crowned and westminster avenue later today. later making their traditional appearance on the balcony at buckingham palace. megan fitzgerald is outside the palace. megan, great to talk to you. what a day. the weather was not necessarily what they were hoping for, but it certainly did not seem to dampen the festivities. >> not at all. i, mean certainly the great british weather, as they, say did not disappoint. but we still saw the pompous circumstances. no one doesn't like the brits. we also saw slim down coronation compared to what we saw 70 years ago for queen elizabeth. the procession, for example, from buckingham palace to westminster abbey as a third of the distance that we saw for queen elizabeth ii. the ceremony was shorter. the crowd, the attendance we're. fewer than what we saw frequent
11:06 am
elizabeth. and this was the most diverse coronation we've ever seen. we >> a historic day decades in the making. today, king charles became the 40th president sovereign to be crowned. a moment he waited his entire life for. yeah >> a day filled with pomp and circumstance. with a mix of modernity and tradition, >> i hear percent until, you king charles. or i'm doubted king. >> a two hour-long ceremony, with ritual music and relics. all leading up to this moment. the king sitting on the 700 year old coronation chair. crowned by the archbishop of canterbury, >> god save the king. >> god save the king. >> among his strongest supporters, his wife, queen camilla, crown to.
11:07 am
for the first time in history, non christian faith leaders participated in the coronation. and the kings family playing a big role. william taking an oath of allegiance to his father. >> for faith in truth, i will guarantee you as your leachman of life and liberty. >> prince george, a page at the ceremony. uk prime minister, rishi sunak, gave a reading. >> this is the word of the lord. thanks to you, god. >> for the first-time, gospel music included at a coronation. more than 2000 guests seated inside. when the king's siblings and his son, harry, walking in without meghan and their two kids. representatives from over 200 countries came to see the crowning. including first lady of the united states, dr. jill biden. queen camilla wearing the same
11:08 am
robe queen elizabeth warren and her coronation in 1953, when charles was just four years old. it was a day fit for king and queen, leading the way back to buckingham palace alongside some 4000 service members. it is a new era for the united kingdom, marks for the traditional wish long live the king. >> now, the weather did impact the royal bypass, it shortened. it but sunshine is expected tomorrow, just in time for the king's coronation concert in windsor. and of, course the overarching question which, is with this new era, meghan, what will be next? megan fitzgerald, as always, we thank. you coming up everybody, and just 60 seconds, the human toll of the crisis at the border where the trump era covid rules ending in just. days live near one of the world's most busiest crossings. the personal stories we're

11:10 am
days to go now before one of the most controversial immigration policies in american history comes to an end. the biden administration officially bringing the so-called, title 42, rule to a close on thursday. the trump white house first used a lot during the height of the pandemic. to deny tens of thousands of migrants of chance of humanitarian relief through asylum. and his wide ranging exclusive interview with msnbc,'s -- president biden defended his decision to send 1500 active duty u.s. troops to the southern border. >> we are in a situation where 1500 people at the border, they're not there to enforce the, lot third there to free up the border agents that need to be on the border and we're having another thousand people coming in, they are asylum judges to make judges, to move things along. i've asked this congress for
11:11 am
help in terms of what they need at the border. they need more agents, they need more people to clear people. they need more action to -- for example, we need these farm workers are badly, needed there has to be a pathway to citizenship. >> let's see what's happening on the. ground let's go to dana griffin who's on the border in california, just south of san diego. it has been quite a disastrous, there to say the least. with folks not having the resources they need, standing by at the border. so many people wanting to cross, to seek freedom here in this country, so they're fleeing the countries that they came from. i know that you've been speaking to folks just across the border who are still on the other side. what are they telling you? >> yeah, yasmin, we are feet away from the border, we can literally see the migrants on the other. side i just spoke to a guy from ecuador. he speaks english and he asked me for. food he's been here for three
11:12 am
or four hours. he says he's just so hungry. we did -- drop by some water for people, and yesterday, on we first arrived, here we spoke with a man from ecuador. he tells us that he traveled a month and a half with his wife and four young kids because he says he was being extorted in ecuador by the mafia. they wanted money or they would kidnap his kids, that's what he told us. so they fled. here they're hoping to seek asylum. listen to what he told us. >> did title 42 lifting have anything to do with why you came here now? >> the mafia found out that he had a restaurant and they're asking him -- they found out he had exile, so we want to go ask for money. $500 a day. if not they would kidnap our daughters. >> as a, father that must have made you desperate to come to the usa? >> as a father, it broke my
11:13 am
heart and i love my daughters -- i'll do whatever takes. >> if he doesn't eat, -- and yes, when we saw the same family out here this morning, which means that they slept overnight, temperatures dipped and low 50s. it was very. chilly it's still very chilly out here right now. i want to give you the close look here at the border, again, we -- are just through the fence you can see about 100 migrants here from several different countries. we know one group is here from morocco, we have a group here from columbia. there are some makeshift tents here that are trying to shield people from the wind in the sun. we have seen the young kids running, around they've got these foil blankets to try to keep themselves a little warm here. and here is the family that we spoke to just moments. ago they said that they were, hungry luckily they just got some water from cbp, but these are just the conditions that a
11:14 am
lot of people are experiencing here right. now you can see some of the people, they were up here at the grassy, area they've now since come. down lining up there was -- you can see a cbp officer talking to one of them. we can't really hear right now what they're saying, but it appears that they're trying to lineup, which may be a sign that the vehicle is going to come and take another group to processing. we know all the processing facilities here in san diego are at capacity. so where they go and what the process looks like we don't know at this point. but again, people are waiting for. our some four days. just to be picked, up that is the goal because italy starts the process for them to get some sort of services. , yasmin it puts things in perspective, doesn't? it >> also thinking about the desperation that man fell traveling for a month and a half with his four young children to seek asylum here in the united states. he was actually leaving behind and fleeing -- let me ask you, quickly you
11:15 am
asked the gentlemen about title 42 and if it was one of the reasons why he was coming now. and it seemed as if he didn't even really know what title 42 was. that certainly didn't seem to be motivation. of his are you finding that with other folks that you've been speaking to? we concentrate and focus on these, policies but i wonder if they do. >> yeah, you know, i was kind of surprised that he said i didn't really know what that was. but a lot of people that we've seen not only here, but in texas, they say they watched the news reports and they hear that 42 is lifting and that's why they're coming. here but the homeland security secretary made it clear that a lot of these people are being told to come here by smugglers who are praying on vulnerable people, thinking that they can make it across, but he made it very clear that it doesn't guarantee that you're going to make it into the u.s.. and i think just the word of mouth with a lot of people saying, oh you, know we know how, chance we're gonna likely see the influx of migrants over the next few.
11:16 am
days thank you really great reporting. >> coming, up everybody, we are going to dive more into what it's like to manage large numbers of people across the border. i am joined by former san antonio mayor and former -- julian castro. that's the next. our up first, >> it's true, they can grab women by the? >> the if you look over the last nine, years i guess that's been largely true. >> okay, so the highlights from the former presidents deposition at the defamation lawsuit. trial coming up, next coming down to the wire where the debt limit negotiations stand right now within national default. on the horizon. we'll be right back. >>ight back. >>ight back. >>

11:21 am
the president warning on friday that republicans don't agree to lift the debt ceiling the impact of the economy could be severe. senate majority leader, chuck schumer, mitch mcconnell and house minority leader, king jeffries will also be at that meeting as well. joining me now is capitol hill correspondent to talk more about. this were just a couple of working days until that deadline. so julie, it is looming. give us a sense of the conversations that are being kept between democrats and republicans before this major meeting. >> yes, meant there are virtually no conversations being had between republicans and democrats here on capitol hill. because all of them are pointing to their party leaders with republicans, speaker mccarthy, and with democrats, president biden to solve this problem. and i got a, tell you were working days away from this deadline but only six days are the house and senate actually in session at the same time before june 1st. that is the estimated default deadline. some republicans also don't even buy that that's the real deadline.
11:22 am
adding -- but democrats are facing on the flip side of this argument, here's president biden with our own, stephanie, rule on what does the fifth hole could mean to americans who are caught in a political game of chicken. >> the idea that we wouldn't pay our debt is just bizarre. it is estimated if we didn't pay the debt be with the 750, 000, jobs would have a recession. it would be a disaster. and the idea that someone from the first time is saying, unless you pass this ridiculous budget i have, which is what i would characterize the republican mega budget. is unless you pass this budget. we're not going to increase the debt limit. and we're gonna go bankrupt. >> yasmin, here's the reality, what speaker mccarthy has going for him is that republicans did pass a bill regardless of democrats like other. not he's going into this meeting feeling pretty strong. and i was talking to some democrats behind the scenes we're feeling a little bit concerned that both, sides democrats and republicans, seem
11:23 am
to think they have the upper hand here. and are hoping the other side will cave. >> what about this idea that the white house is weighing this possibility of a short term debt ceiling extension? what do we know about? that >> look, publicly, republicans are not going to say that they are even thinking about this kind of solution. privately, they might be open to it, because, unreality that could potentially pump this conversation in conjunction with the budget conversation in september. so they could talk about spending cuts while temporarily lifting the debt ceiling to get them through a couple more months and buy them sometime. but here's the reality, i talk to john thune, who is the vote counter here in the republican side of the senate. he said that is quote, a bad idea, he really hopes they are able to reach consensus ahead of june 1st. there's also the notion that some republicans definitely in the house, they don't so much care that the government could potentially go into default, we could potentially see a recession. some of them told me that what they passed in the house a couple weeks ago was the quote, bare minimum.
11:24 am
but they would accept. so a lot of hostage taking is going on among republicans. when you talk to democrats, but on the, flipside there's not a lot of urgency among democrats. either who left town on thursday before 4 pm, they are not gonna be back until tuesday. same goes with the house. so really, not much that we can expect in terms of movement until we see what happens with that meeting. >> sounds like a bit of a standoff. and not surprising,, right considering where we are on the election calendar? heading towards another presidential election. certainly those republicans and democrats are wanting to point fingers at the other if it doesn't get the. right way julie tsirkin, for us as always thank. you still ahead, everybody, the coronation of king charles. we there he is, along with the queen consort, waving from the balcony at buckingham palace this morning. it is today's pomp and ceremony enough to earn the monarchy more support as an increasing number of brits wanted abolished?

11:30 am
dollars back in 2012 for consulting. work that is according to documents reviewed by the, post which says legal activist, leonard leo, told kellyanne conway to build a nonprofit group he works within send the money to mrs. thomas, the post says leo urged conway to, quote make no mention of johnny on the paperwork. the same year the nonprofit submitted an amicus brief to the course in a historic voting rights. case thomas did not recuse himself. if the conway's did not respond to the newspaper's request for. comment billionaire harlan crow paid the private school tuition for justice thomas's then teenage grand nephew who thomas raised, quote, like a son. thomas did not disclose the. gift it's a bank statement interview, nbc news has not independently verified this report. in his, statement harlan crow says this. these scholarships and other contributions have always been
11:31 am
paid solely from personal funds, sometimes held and pay through the family business. nbc news has reached out to the supreme court with requests for comment from the court and justice thomas. with me now, nbc's legal analyst, joyce vance. joyce, we have a lot to talk about. thank you for joining us. this payment made for consulting work done by ginni thomas. in which there was this idea of no mention of ginni in the payment. from kellyanne conway. did justice thomas have illegal and or at the go obligation to report this? money we >> of course he, did yasmin. the entire landscape here is predicated on the notion that judges, including supreme court justices, should avoid any appearance of impropriety. and that is why you bend over backwards. i did the same thing as a u.s. attorney, you go above and beyond what you need to
11:32 am
disclose so people can have confidence in your integrity. but here we are right in the heartland of the sort of information that needs to be disclosed about a spouse's income and the fact that it wasn't is very troubling. >> here's what leonard leo is saying about, that the work she did here did not involve anything connected with either the courts business or with other legal issues. knowing how disrespectful, malicious and gossip people people can be, i've always tried to protect the privacy of justice thomas and ginni. >> what do you make of that? >> that has to be one of the most self serving statements i've ever. heard because leo is sophisticated enough to appreciate what the reporting requirements involved and what these cash payments or payments that are made in the course of concealment need to be revealed. look, the reality here is, leo is in some sense distancing himself from the thomas is
11:33 am
saying, i didn't do anything wrong, here and of course, the pregnant pause at the end of that statement is whether they did. whether they are -- there are consequences or other consequences for the failure to disclose this and whether it's more than just a failure to disclose on court conflict papers. >> let's talk about the tuition payments, as well we have a friend of the thomas's who was once ginni thomas's attorney. his name is mark -- and he's arguing that because this was a grand nephew, he was not a quote unquote dependent child. hence the reason why they were not required to report this payment made by harlan crow for tuition. what do you make of the defense? >> so, it is one of the individuals pictured in that painting that we've seen. it's a painting in the style of a photograph of justice thomas in the company of harlan crow and others, and so it's no surprise that we see a defense
11:34 am
of him coming from that inner circle of people. it is almost like they are trying to throw a lot of spaghetti up on the wall and see what sticks. this, again, is not a very good explanation of why this sort of payment would have been made and not reported. justice thomas himself has said that he was raising his grand nephew like he was his own son. this is income that is attributable to him, again, it is great that a child who needed it got the right kind of education. but there are consequences for these sorts of transactions, and it goes back to that same. principal judges should disclose the sort of. thing so we know who their friends, are and where they might conceivably have a conflict of interest. that is not to say that justice thomas, one of, nine voted in ways that were influenced by these payments, but the fact that he didn't disclose them does a whole lot more than raise eyebrows here. >> should've would've, could've is anything going to happen here? >> you, know it's an interesting landscape. joe biden is the president.
11:35 am
he would be the one who would select any replacement for justice thomas. i think we'll see conservatives close ranks to try to protect their 63 majority. it would be tough to have an impeachment vote. that is literally the only action of any significance that could be taken against justice thomas short of an outright decision that he might have to step down, which seems extremely unlikely. you, know the problem is that if nothing, happens this suggests people who are more concerned about their party and their politics then they are about the country. and the integrity of the court. because we all know that some of the most important disputes are resolved in the supreme court. and if the public's confidence in the court fails, then the consequences for all of us and for our democracy will be consequential. i want to get you to win while i have you on the e. jean carroll ripon defamation. case i want to note as well that you and are our friends. so it's important to put that out. they're so talking specifically
11:36 am
about the video testimony offered by the former president of the united states, and the moment i want to play for you is when he addresses the infamous access hollywood tape. and what he actually said on. it the validity of. it let's listen in the mail. talk >> with and you say it, again it's become very, famous in this, video i just start kissing. them it is like a magnet. just kiss, i don't even, wait and when you're a star they let you do it. you can't do anything. grab him by the [bleep], you can do anything, that is what you. said >> historically that is true with starts. >> it's true with stars that they can grab women by the [bleep]? >> if you look over the last million, years that has been largely true. not, always but largely true. unfortunately or fortunately. >> you consider yourself to be a star? we i think you could say. that yeah.
11:37 am
>> i mean, i don't even know what era he's operating. in choice, by saying that, and then to conclude that statement by saying, unfortunately or fortunately? how is anybody fortunate to be in a position like that? but that aside, if you could weigh in on what this does to his case. his defense. >> there is so much in this deposition to just be absolutely stupefied by. and this is what happens when there are no consequences for someone who has been cavalier in his treatment of women for many years. including officially, as the president of the united states, the question, is whether carroll's lawyer, robbie kaplan, can make hay of these sorts of pieces of testimony. in her closing argument, and once it's a that she, can she is a very skillful lawyer. what trump almost seems to do in this deposition is, it's sort of like the longest,
11:38 am
lowest confession you've ever seen. because the impacts of the access hollywood tape, where he talks about the way he treats women in connection with the four women, the jury heard. from this should be pretty influential when jurors deliberate. >> you know what i found, astounding and i know we're running out of. time but we don't have the sound, and even part of his testimony, when he identifies in the picture. someone as his ex-wife, arlette, maples when in fact it is edging. harrell very women who he has said, as part of his, defense that she is not his. type so why would he engage in this type of activity with her when she wasn't even his type in the first place? and yet, he identifies her in that photograph as his wife -- his ex-wife. what does that do? >> you know, trump's credibility is on trial here. statements like, that they will make it very easy for the jury to find he is not telling the truth. >> joyce vance for, us as always, great to talk to my. friend >> coming, up the one where that husband dropped from

"look at this skin, baby. she is glowing. she is 1 of 1." with new olay hyaluronic body wash 95% of women had visibly-better skin. "my skin is so much more moisturized." see the difference with olay. welcome, back i want to continue this conversation about justice thomas and the supreme court. now embroiled in controversy as reports are raising questions about the ethics. we talk about that and much much more. i want to bring in my panel, two former members of congress, joel walls who served as a
11:44 am
republican and -- who served as a democrat. welcome to, both, gentlemen joe, let me start with you on this. one what do you make of these stories continuing to come out about justice thomas? any kind of possible accountability? here you heard my last question to joyce vance, i'm sure, in which i said what's going to happen? she said the only possible avenue here is impeachment. and that's a tough one. >> we, yasmin good to be with. you extremely troubling every day we are learning something new about justice thomas and his wife. and joyce, your last guest said, you know, impeachment is a possible solution. president biden could possibly do something. i look, as a former congressman, where my former republican colleagues? i mean, my god. >> are you really asking that question? we come on now. i mean, did you really expect them to step up in this moment? considering that --
11:45 am
i mean, listen? do you blame them with the cut success that the republican has had on the court? >> i don't expect them, yasmin, to do anything, but damage, it needs to be set on national tv. the fact that my former political party is so partisan in tribal. my former political party, which never seemingly puts the country first. here we have a supreme court justice that has put the entire integrity of the supreme court on the line and they can't even, yasmin, without criticizing justice thomas, not even at least take the stance, like we need to reform the supreme court. we need ethics. code we need legislation? that needs to be said. >> max, rose what do you think will be happening if justice mayorkas in this exact same position? >> it is a fantastic question. and thank you for having me. with all respect to mr., walls more disappointing thing here
11:46 am
is the fact that the democratic party has not done really substantive hearings on this. they have not push this issue to the extent that they absolutely need to. >> they tried, i mean roberts said, well, i'm not showing up for it. they have tried. >> well, you don't need that level of participation to still do. something. they control the. senate so they can do a whole lot of things to make sure that this is constantly in the limelight. when you take a step back, look at 2000, six 2000, eight 2018. 2020, to the democratic party is strong when it is talking about anti-corruption. and this is an issue that is not just grossly arrogant, by justice thomas, but it is also a deeper problem in the republican party. this is a party that is completely bought and paid for. and the reason why they're not standing up for justice thomas is not because they care about the supreme court, majority
11:47 am
it's also that they're nervous it will shed further light on their own corrupt activities, and that is why it is a disgrace that the democratic party is not doing more. here >> it's also interesting because, angel walsh, i want you to weigh on, unless you got this tweet sent out. the statement as well from former conservative federal judge, michael reddick, we all know quite. well who essentially said, and i, quote the court should not want the congress to legislate ethical standards that would bind the court. but the congress -- indisputably has the power under the constitution to do, so so you are even hearing this from a conservative judge. saying this. i get, nothing is being done. >> nothing is being, done, look i agree with. max but i mean, both parties, max can criticize his party, i'll criticize my former political party. congress has the power to do. this and this needs to be done. some sort of ethical code for the justices. that kind of legislation needs
11:48 am
to be pushed pretty quickly. >> all, right i tease, this joe, walls and i want you to weigh. eminent and then max, you as well. and it's this idea that former president, donald trump, now wants to separate himself from the republican party. not wanting to use the word republican because they feel as if, i'm in a read the statement, that 2016 was so successful because it was antiestablishment. we're gonna clean out the swamp, whatever it was that he said. and this is the statement. in essence, according to advisers and, allies trump's returning to the anti establishment themes of the successful 2016 bid for the presidency. it rallied voters to -- the orthodoxy's and candidates of both parties. what do you make of this? can he run from the republican party? that in part, is the establishment? >> i don't think he can do that again, yasmin. look, here's the, deal might former political party is a shrinking dying national party. a lot of people like myself have left the republican party. people around trump know he
11:49 am
can't win. if he just tries to appeal to republicans, so if you said, he's got a tried to replay this thing he did in 16 when he was perceived as anti establishment. he is going to drain the swamp. but now, after the last five, six or seven years, he's probably the most corrupt wallace swamp like creature that's ever been in d.c.. that's not going to work. >> i gotta say,, max i wish we had these -- i should've told my producers about, it but i'm sure many people's out on the twitter, and i'm sure you did to, it is bill barr being asked by -- as to whether or not he should be president of the united states once again. your own attorney general, right? the guy that acted as your own personal lawyer essentially said he will screw everything up. and he should not be president of the united states again. what did you make of, that max? what is this idea that trump wants to step away from the republican party? and how do dems fight back? >> well, look.
11:50 am
donald trump is and evil pathological sociopath. but he is not necessarily stupid. i think that what he understands is that the fascist, authoritarian anti democratic party that he himself created is not just highly immoral, but it is also electorally insufficient. so they have lost elections in 2022 and of course, the election of 2018. so you see donald trump attempting to move away from this thing that he -- this evil -- that he created. and it's absolutely imperative that the democratic party not show arrogance in the face of a likely trump nomination. they have got to take it head on. it is not just the republican party here that is at fault. it is donald trump's party. that is the republican establishment. and that is the establishment that tries to destroy the constitution and all the
11:51 am
beloved democracy each and every day. >> we ran out of time. joe, i know you want to talk. >> yasmin, two seconds. all i was gonna say was screw bill barr, bill barr said in that speech trump's unfit. but he said if he's the nominee, he would still support him. >> joe walsh, max rose. thank you to you both. we will be right back everybody. everybody. just buy any footlong in the app, and get one free. everyone loves free stuff chuck. can we get peyton a footlong? get it before it's gone. on the subway app. i'm barbara and i'm from st. joseph, michigan. i'm a retired school librarian. i'm also a library board trustee, a mother of two, and a grandmother of two. basically, i thought that my memory wasn't as good as it had been. i needed all the help i could get. i saw the commercials for prevagen. i started taking it. and it helped! i noticed my memory was better. there was definite improvement. i've been taking prevagen for a little over five years.

11:56 am
happening, financially across the country right now. talk to us about what you have on this? >> yes, yasmin. he would think given the numbers that you just cited that the class of 2023 hit the jackpot. they hit it just right. but here in san jose state and across the country, students are saying that they are having trouble finding work. some of it is because they are competing against more experienced workers who are coming back into the workforce. then there is all of this talk about a possible recession. yet we have these numbers coming in that show an economy that used to be going full speed ahead. >> you have a 3.4% unemployment rate. that is a lot of people with jobs, a lot of people making money, they want to spend that money. this economy wants to do more than what it is. so to call for a recession with such a low and declining unemployment rate with people eager to spend, i just don't see how that happens. >> there's another bit of
11:57 am
economic news that we got out last week. there are roughly one and a half job openings for every available worker. nearly 10 million jobs opened across the state, across the country. so there is a lot of work out there. the problem? the federal reserve is still raising interest rates. they did suggest that they might be able to pause for a time. but they are trying to get inflation under control and that is creating the recession fears, we get more data on inflation coming up on wednesday. then there is the specter of a government default if we get that or even come close to it. the experts say all economic, that is off. >> we thank you. we are also going to get more information and get deeper into some of these numbers as well. with the editor in chief, caleb silver, that is coming up in our next hour. so you do not want to miss that conversation. also kind of how this is all going to be affecting you at home, right? let's talk about the first british coronation in 70 years. quite a. it is reviving these questions about the future of the monarchy as demonstrations
11:58 am
today prove not all of the british are filled with thrill. it is thousands of monarchists turned out to protest ahead of today's ceremony. tim is a british historian and former journalist on channel 4 news and is joining us now with more on all of this. let's start with the ceremonies, if we can first. what stood out to you most when you are watching? >> i think that it was the incredible blend of ancient and modern. this is a ceremony that dates back at least 1000 years. and predates that to biblical and classical times before that. yet there were so many modern references within the liturgy, reflecting the king's own interests and the environment. but most crucially also, in his pledge to serve the people of britain rather than to be served by them. to serve the people of britain and the commonwealth.
11:59 am
that is something that it pains to emphasize. and i think that the second most important thing was the clear succession and the future of the monarchy which was emphasized through his crowning of the queen. and the homage paid to him by the prince of wales, formally prince william, and then his son, prince george acting as a page. >> then there is a continued relevancy of the monarchy and how the british people feel about that. when you are looking at some of the protests that are happening out there that were happening during the coronation. 62% of people polled, they say they support the monarchy. but the number is a lot lower when pulling younger people. only 36% 18 to 24 years old, a higher number from 25 to 49 at 54%. how that's king charles, now, how does he maintain the relevancy of this monarchy going forward, seeing this? >> an awful lot of work that
12:00 pm
the monarch provides does not necessarily, automatically appeal to young people. that has always been dust and bus, they provide continuity and stability and young people aren't necessarily adds attracted to continuity and stability as well. younger people become older i. think it is up to the next generation. not so much the new king charles to the prince and princess of wales. and eventually their children. just as the now king, when he was princes whales, engaged with the younger generation through the princes trust, through his environmental campaigns. through touring the commonwealth. it wasn't exactly as if the late queen who was hugely popular and the figures which showed for her support, well into the 90s. it wasn't as if she was breaking bounds and going on to social media, or nothing like that. she left it to the next generation. >> all right, thank you for joining us today, we appreciate it. we have got a lot more coming up everybody.
