the fbi is confirming they are investigating a hacking attempt allegedly by iran. against the presidential

campaigns of both major parties. news of this broke over the weekend. they had each been offered documents that appear to be internal. somewhat sensitive. non-public facing documents from inside donald trump's campaign. politico described what they were offered as including a dossier on trump's running mate jd vance. what the outlet described as a preliminary version of vance's vetting file. who sources told politico the documents they were offered were authentic. they were legitimate documents somehow taken from inside the trump campaign. then the washington post soon reported that they, too, had been shopped stuff. at least that seemed like it was coming from inside the trump campaign. with those two reports out there this weekend, the trump campaign went ballistic reporting no news media should

report on the content of these leaked documents. that a foreign adversary had done this and nobody in america should do the bidding of that foreign adversary by reporting on the content of those materials. to be fair, that is fair. this is reportedly a foreign adversary doing this. it is to hurt us as a country and our elections are our business. foreign interference in any american election is bad. and every american and certainly every american campaign should not only be against it. they should insist that no one try to benefit from this. that no one engage with this kind of thing at all. that nobody praise it, reference what has been taken in this kind of a campaign. the trump campaign is insisting that nobody should do that which for them is awkward.

>> now, this just came out. this just came out. wikileaks, i love wikileaks. the hillary clinton documents released by wikileaks. exposed by wikileaks. we don't talk about wikileaks. they wanted to distract us from wikileaks. wikileaks. wikileaks. wikileaks. the wikileaks revelations. they got it all down folks. wikileaks. wikileaks. russia, if you are listening, i hope you are able to find the 30,000 emails that i missing. i they you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. >> when russia hacked the democratic party in the hillary clinton campaign in 2016, trump first of all blamed the democrats in the clinton campaign for it as if it was their fault. and they spent months telling everybody encolluding trump

personally, telling everybody how great this hack was and everyone should look at the hacked material and he hoped russia would hack and steal and release more. that is how he reacted in 2016. this time was what may be a different foreign adversary hacking him. trump's campaign purports to be very upset and says nobody should look at this material. it would just be doing the bidding of a foreign adversary which is doing our country harm which is true in a matter of national interest and how we should all feel as americans. trump has just never felt this way before when he was benefiting from an attack by a hostile foreign power in a previous election. it is a good thing when it helps him. it's a bad thing when it hurts him. it is as good a summary as any of american political life in the era in which donald trump has taken over the republican

party. if it helps him, it's good. if it hurts him, it's bad. and whatever it means for the country is beside the point. but the fbi again confirming this tonight. we will keep an eye on it. the story is the washington post is first to report, the fbi has opened an investigation into what may be an iranian hacking attack aimed at trump's campaign and kamala harris' campaign. the harris campaign was reportedly attacked with similar types of emails. excuse me, the biden campaign was. but they say they don't believe those attacks worked. they were able to fend them off. the trump campaign does not seem to be as well situated against this attack. but we shall see. this of course, in all seriousness, this comes at a time when we have a carrier strike group speeding to the middle east. israel warning that they are

expecting an attack from iran. a military attack from iran very soon. in that concept, iran mixing it up militarily with our allies after a hamas leader was assassinated. it is all a bit of a tinderbox feel. so we will keep eyes on all the stories tonight as all of them continue to develop. in the meantime though, just for a moment. can we discuss a thing that did not happen? at least it did not happen like this. >> well i know willy brown very well. in fact, i went down in a helicopter with him. we thought maybe this is the end. we were in a helicopter going to a certain location together and there was an emergency landing. this was not a pleasant landing. and willy was, he was a little

concerned. so i know him pretty well. this is not a pleasant landing. here is what is going on there. >> this was from his incoherent press conference last week and trump in that press conference told a lot of porky pies but the weirdest one he told was that he had been in an emergency landing near death helicopter crash with a famous person, with willy brown. a famous very powerful politician from california. the reason the story is so weird is because willy brown is around and able to talk. and frankly, he loves to talk. i grew up in the san francisco bay area when among other things willy brown was san francisco mayor. he is a person everyone used to call unavoidable for comments. he will talk to any reporter

about anything ever. he is a man who likes to talk about everything in the news and himself. and so, when trump made the surprise assertion about a death-defying very dramatic helicopter emergency involving willy brown, people are like oh. never heard from willy brown about this. but also, we never read about this in the news and it is weird it might have happened but there would be no news about it happening. these are two very high profile guys. right? donald trump and willy brown were in a dramatic near death helicopter crash and willy has never talked about it? and it has never, it's weird. but then, reporters went out in san francisco and found willy brown. and asked him about it. it was predictably hilarious and fantastic. >> i don't think i would want

to ride in the same helicopter with him. because there's too many people that have an agenda with reference to him including the people who service helicopters so i don't want to be in a helicopter with him. >> somehow i have the impression if you were in a helicopter going down, you would know about it. >> the world would have known about it. >> so is he making these things up? >> he has to be. i said he is creative. i mean, like real creative. that's so, it's just unbelievable. >> you were not in a helicopter with him that almost crashed? >> no! [ laughter ] >> that's your answer? okay! >> he's dreaming. >> the new york times and other news outlets suggested that maybe what happened here was

that trump confused willy brown, who you just saw, with jerry brown, the former governor of california. after all, trump did take a helicopter ride with him once in 2018. two problems with that. number one, trump was president at the time of that helicopter ride in california so we all would have heard about it had he had a death defying helicopter emergency landing as president. we all lived there that, none of us remember that. that did not happen. second problem with that story is that jerry brown and willy brown are not the same person. really, truly not at all the same. trump then in response lashed out both online and apparently also in a very angry phone call to the new york times in which he said wrong. they were getting this wrong. he said it wasn't his helicopter ride in california

with jerry brown. it was a different helicopter ride. this one in new jersey and it definitely was willie brown. he had a death defying emergency landing with willie brown. i'm so mad. two problems with that. willie brown said that wasn't him either. after speak with local news, he does a cnn interview. i will give you the first two questions. one of my all time television interviews ever. watch. >> have you ever been in a helicopter that made an emergency landing with donald trump? >> no. >> have you ever been in a helicopter with donald trump? >> no. >> no. not me.

then what happens next is politico was first to report there was in fact a helicopter ride that donald trump was on and it was in new jersey and it did have mechanical problems but that one was not with willie brown either. it was with a totally different man. a man who is is also a black man and also an old guy. but really again, honestly, two totally different people. former state senator and city counselor nate holden telling politico, willie is the short black guy living in san francisco. i'm the tall black guy living in los angeles. i guess we all look alike. >> at this point, trump has not only said this strange thing at his press conference but he is insisting on the truthfulness of what he said. he is posting about it online multiple times. he is kind of losing his mind, screaming at the new york times. threatening to sue the new york

times. he posted he has flight records, logs, witnesses to back up his account that he definitely was in a helicopter crash with willie brown. >> so you were not in a helicopter with him that almost crashed? >> no. that's your answer right? okay. >> when asked to produce the flight records, trump responded mockingly, repeating the request in a sing song voice. oh want to see the flight records. who among us does not forget things? i have two dogs. i call them by each other's names all the time. they both think each of them has both names.

okay i'm sorry. i once listed all the balkan states as if they were the baltic states. we all mess things up. what's different about trump here, though, what is otherwise an unimportant anecdote that had no consequences, is that he is now not only sticking to this, he is losing his mind over this. in public. repeated statements insisting on this thing that everyone is laughing in his face about. people who were there and no it didn't happen, are laughing at him about it because it really didn't happen. and he is shouting at reporters about it. threatening to sue. threatening to produce records that will document this thing. and you know, on the one hand, this is concerning because he is not just an average person. he is a presidential candidate. and if he is not just unable to remember a thing. but legitimately confused, unable to accept the truth of the thing he has gotten wrong. he is unable to process information about what is true and false even when it is a

thing about his own life. that raises questions you know. is he okay? we all admit that is a relevant question for a presidential candidate right? is he okay? on the other hand, though, the because this is trump, one real possibility here is that he is so committed now to this made up story about willy brown being with him on a helicopter that this is going to become the new hurricane map with the sharpy bulge on it showing that the hurricane was headed to alabama. remember the little bulge on the side of the storm path? drawn on with a sharpee? they had to put that on it. the map had to be changed to reflect that. will this now become an article of faith among republicans that they all must salute and pledge fealty to the idea that donald trump was once in a helicopter emergency landing with willie

brown while brown laughs uproarously about it. at the press conference, trump told another, not just a lie, but a strange story about how he never threatened to lock up hillary clinton. he never asked for that. when supporters said that, he said he told them they needed to stop that because it would be so bad for the country to jail hillary clinton and he never wanted to do that. right? and that is insane. because it is not only blatantly untrue, we were all there. it is something we all witnessed and lived through that is the exact opposite of what he was saying. i stacked these things together. it was not just get aload of this guy. there is a new book about this as a tactic. not just as a personal tic or a crutch for trump personally but a republican tactic of the trump era they flirted with a bit. now they do it whole hog all the time. the book is called ministry of

truth. democracy, reality, and the republican's war on the recent past. it is by steve benen, one of my oldest friends. he has influenced my thinking about american politics as much as anybody has in the world. steve's new book is a short book. it is just seven chapters. less than 200 pages before you get to the copious footnotes but it explains not only that republicans are doing this. it is not you. you are not just noticing this every once in a while. this is a thing they systematically do. and they do it in a way that democrats don't. but he also explains what they will doing it for. he says, quote, rewriting e cents from the recent past requires a different kind of audacity and ambition. at issue are events most americans saw and remember. these are not subjects of debate for historical symposiums or obscure developments that an average person might have a superficial understanding of. rather an issue or events

people lived through and experienced firsthand. republican haves nevertheless, taken on the bold challenge. independent sources of information are not to be trusted and partisan changes to the recent past. trump and his allies have imposed on republican politics. this is now after all the party of alternative past. billy bush to whom trump had bragged about assaulting women during the infamous access hollywood records he explained what he had learned about trump. after noting he had confronted trump about inflating the ratings of his reality tv show. the apprentice. he wrote that people will just believe you. you just tell them and they believe you. years later the republicans in his party adopted an eeriely similar approach to describe the details of key events from

our collective recent history based in part on the expectations that americans quote will just believe them. steve says quote the stakes couldn't be much higher. the foundation of democracy rests in large part on a shared understanding of current events. when that understanding is deliberately corrupted by brazen partisans, the consequences can be dire. if you are interested in this as a tactic, again, making stuff up about the recent past we lived through. how they applied it to the russia investigation, to the 2020 election, to january 6th. oh it was antifa or the fbi. january 6th didn't happen. it was just a normal tourist visit. and what they are settling on is it did happen. and they are all patriots for doing it. what about antifa? also, i mean, the one you hear every day. from the trump campaign and from republican surrogates. trump had the greatest economy

ever though his economy was not as guide as either the economy of obama or biden. his claims he completed the wall which he did not do. why are they doing all these things? what purpose does it serve? his book is called ministry of truth. it is out tomorrow. if you are an audio book person, i think this book is important enough that i voiced the audio book so if you would like to not just read the book, but have me tell you about it, you can also get the book that way. but i did that both because i love steve and i think this book is brilliant, much needed and well timed. joining me now is steve benen, author of the excellent new book, ministry of truth. democracy, reality and the republicans' war on the recent past which comes out tomorrow. steve, congratulations on this. i know that you almost killed yourself writing this thing. thank you for doing it. >> i'm glad to have done it and

i'm glad to be here. >> you concede in the first pages of the book that arguments over history are not unusual. but you are talking about rewriting the recent past. stuff we lived through. what is the tactical difference between lying brazenly about the recent past, thing we all saw instead of lying about things that maybe we cannot verify. >> republicans have targeted both. trying to change the history of things of general reyess past. there is a difference when they target the recent past. it is more audacious. it requires them to overpower our memories and bully them

into submission over things we all saw, lived and experienced. we see them trying to tell that the trump response to the covid crisis was great. it was perfection. it couldn't have gone any better. we all know better. we experienced it firsthand. they believe our memories can be bullied into submission and their alternative narratives can replace the ones we all know. >> but why do it then? as you describe it takes a certain level of audacity to do this. they are asking us to literally disbelieve our own sense memories. the things that we saw and heard and experienced as human beings. why are they doing it. >> republicans feel like they

don't have a choice. when there are controversies that always happen. politicians employ a certain crisis management play book. they stick to certain pr strategies. they take their lumps and move on. but when you send an insurrectionist mob to attack the capitol or fail to respond to a pandemic or cooperate with an adversary to take office in 2016, you can't just employ the usual tactics. they won't do. these are larger crises. the reality is that republicans would never win another election. the first thing is they have no other choice. the second thing which is equally important, republicans feel as if they can get away with it. when it comes to their base, they have gotten away with it. as of right now, this ample polling data shows from a great majority of republicans, january 6th was not an

insurrection riot. there was no classified documents taken to mar-a-lago. trump won 2020. this is not a handful of fringe figures that believe it. this is a situation where the overwhelming majority of republicans believe this. republicans do this at the highest levels because they feel like they can. they can get away with it. >> it is a good assemblage of those things. i feel like it all starts to fall in place. but i will tell our viewers. if you are flummoxed by the fact that donald trump both tells his followers that he completed the wall and he needs to be reelected so he can complete the wall, steve explains the psychology of that and its political impact. it is dire and it is helpful to have it spelled out. steve's new book. it comes out tomorrow. the audio book is read by a

goof ball amateur narrator named rachel maddow but i still think it came out pretty okay. steve, my friend, thank you very much for writing this. it is really important. i'm really glad you did it. congratulations. >> thank you so much. >> all right, much more ahead tonight. stay with us. e ahead tonight. stay with us. >> so in a debate situation, who would you put your money on? >> i think it will probably be unfair for her to debate trump. he is so inept. at debating. the absolutes of knowledge is appalling. i'm looking forward to hearing the announcement because i'm going to vegas and i'm going to put every nickel i have on the results of that debate. and it will all be on kamala harris. all be on kamala harris.

privatized thing. this play book written for donald trump for a next trump term in office is filled with really quite radical policy plans for him to use if he is elected to a second term. it is called, say it with me now. project 2025. and it has become a point of central discussion in this presidential election year. it is because this play book was designed for trump. came out of trump world. but it also is because it outlines policies that voters as a general matter really don't want. this was created for trump by people associated with trump. trump keeps trying to distance himself. saying he has no idea who these people are. unfortunately, here he is on a private plane with the guy in charge of it. his running mate jd vance is also pals with the 2025 guy. he wrote a forward for his new book. then this at the ap a few days

ago, former trump administration official teasing the fact he is currently writing the super secret transition play book that trump will use if he is reelected in november. this guy planning the transition. you will notice the headline offers a helpful reminder this isn't the first play book he has written. the guy planning the trump transition is a quote project 2025 architect. six of trump's cabinet officials collaborated on the drafting of the project 2025 play book. at 140 trump administration staffers had a hand in working on it in some capacity. all of that put together makes it a hard sell for the trump campaign to claim they had no idea who these people are that wrote up this thing. that was before this happened. propublica has obtained an published 14 hours of training videos put together by project 2025. tutorials for members of the future trump administration. and the videos are interesting to look at in their own right but for the trump campaign, trying to say that no trump

people have ever had anything to do with this, never heard of any of these people. don't know where this thing came from? for the trump campaign trying to make that case, these new videos are not going to help them make that case. >> hello. i'm jeff small. i was a presidential appointee in the trump administration. >> i'm caroline levetz, a former political appointee in the donald j. trump administration. >> i served in the trump administration. >> i had the privilege of serving as a deputy assistant secretary of state for digital strategy. >> was on the trump campaign team early on. probably one of the first 15 folks hired. >> during the trump administration, i served as the assistant secretary for public affairs at the department of homeland security. >> during the presidential transition, i was the director of domestic policy appointments. >> you started on day one of the trump administration. and you stayed until the final

hour. shocking that i made it. >> they must have put her through the wringer. of the 36 different people who appear in these videos that are obtained by propublica, 29 of the 36 of them worked for the trump campaign. and administration. trying to say they have nothing to do with this project 2025 thing. yeah, we have fresh new polling today from umass amhurst painting a clear portrait of why the trump campaign continues to try to pretend they have no ties to project 2025 no matter how unsustainable that claim is. part of the findings of this poll are that even people who voted for trump in 2020, they by clear majority say they do not support the policies in project 2025. the same poll also took a snapshot of the electorate since biden dropped out of the presidential race. when this poll was taken in january. trump led biden nationally by

four points with kamala harris now at the top of the ticket, she leads trump nationally by three points. so a total turn around there. and you are seeing that same turn around for the democrats in important swing states. after biden dropped out, harris was tied with trump in swing states of michigan and pennsylvania. trump was up by one point in wisconsin. if you look at that same poll now, in all three of those states, harris leads trump plus four. it's a turn around. it really is. it is nationally an important state. what this means if you are the republican ticket, you will need a new strategy. you are either going to need to turn this campaign around to make people like you more, or you are going to need to figure out a way to win in a different way. and i have been talking here with some urgency since the time of the rnc. because of what i'm seeing that

clearly is an emerging strategy for republicans this year. which is to mess with the count of the quote. to deny certification of the vote county by county. you will remember in 2020, when the violent mob was sicced on congress, they were to block the certification of the vote. this time, they are professionalizing it. they are systemizing it. they are starting with trained republican officials at the local level in states around the country to make a bigger swing at it this time. and i have been talking a lot about this on msnb c. i hear from you guys a lot. but some real experts in this field are talking about it, too. not just about how worrying this problem is. but also what can be done to stop it. some of those experts have published a brand new report, a report that is yet to be made public. it is coming out tomorrow. but we will reveal it here

tonight. exclusively for the first time. it is very practical and helpful and the thing i'm most worried about. that's next. i'm most worried about. that's next. or this? seems clear to me. if you love to save, check out the wise buys sales event going on right now at america's best — get two pairs of progressives for just $129.95. offer includes a comprehensive eye exam. book an exam online today. missing out on the things you love because of asthma? get back to better breathing with fasenra, an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems or other eosinophilic conditions. allergic reactions may occur. don't stop your asthma treatments without talking with your doctor. tell your doctor if your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may occur.

this is something i have been talking about several weeks here both during our rnc coverage and on the show. we are revealing it here for the first time tonight.

it is from citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington. it is called election certification under threat. a legal road map to protect the 2024 election including from 35 officials who have refused to certify results. it tracks this crisis across eight different states so far where in fact, there have been dozens of republican local officials who have been refusing to sign off on proper tallies of lawful votes. is this a republican strategy that holds any promise of essentially hamstringing the electoral count of messing up the election and the administration of the election at the point of the counting of the vote. making official the vote tallies? do they have any real prospects of messing up the vote in november using these tacticians that they have been essentially test driving in states all across the country in lower

profile elections? joining us now is noah bookbinder. thank you very much for joining us. thanks for the advance look at your report. i found it very interesting. >> thanks so much for having me. >> so i have been talking about this with increasing concern the past few weeks because it look to me like republicans at the county level and starting to be at the state level are test driving an effort they will try in november to effectively prevent the election from being made official. to prevent the vote tallying to go forward in any sort of normal way. do you think that is what they are trying to do? >> i think it is absolutely a thing that is going to happen. when we see the county officials in multiple states attempt to stop the certification of votes in elections in many cases very

little consequence. they were doing it essentially as a run through for an election of a great deal of consequences. the one this fall. it seem to be happening in a way this year that is more systematic than the past. that is deeply concerning. the good news is it is clearly illegal in all of these states and there are steps that can be taken to effectively halt it in all of them. >> and you single out some of those in a way that i think is very succinct and helpful. you write about state election boards. local prosecutors should in advance of the election explicitsly tell county officials they do not have discretion to refuse to certify the election. warn them in advance that they may be treading into criminal law territory if they do this. we have seen that happen in a couple of states already.

>> that's right. in michigan, the secretary of state and other officials have been very clear that the law provides for legitimate ways to challenge elections if there are questioning about fraud or the count. county certification is not one of those ways. it is a ministerial process. not a way to challenge results. in michigan, they have told these county officials you cannot do this and if you do, there will be consequences. that both potentially could deter some of these people from trying this and also puts them on notice so that if they do try to disrupt the election, and they are prosecuted or there are challenges, they won't be able to say they didn't realize they couldn't do this. so that is what we like to see in all of these states. >> and again, we have seen it happen in michigan. but we haven't necessarily seen that happen even in every state where it has already been tried. let alone in states where

officials don't yet know if republicans are going to try it. it does seem like there are sort of different tactics legally available to state officials in various states. you can have a court essentially order public officials to do this. you can have the state election board take over the job of a county election official they are refusing to do their job. in other places you can have a local official remove. but there isn't the same play book available legally in every state. it does seem like the one thing that every state could do right now is give advice to every elections board in the state. get it on record to every elections board in the state that they should not do this and it is not within their rights to try. >> that is absolutely right. we have seen in different states a number of these different responses work. in new mexico and nevada where they have gone to court and gotten orders, ordering these

county officials to certify the vote. and that has worked. but the reason we are putting this out. that state officials can get out there and warn these folks and be ready to act. the signs have been positive. in a state like georgia, it is very alarming because you have the state election board going in the opposite direction. even though the law is very clear, you have the state election board actually trying to say that county officials can refuse to certify. and that is definitely a place to really keep an eye on. >> yeah. exactly. because not having a certified result out of georgia would be a very bad thing. not having a certified result would be a very bad thing. but that seems to be what they are aiming at. we will link to this new report

when it is live. thank you for doing it. bringing together all these examples. talking about practical things states can do to head it off. it's an important service. thank you. >> thank you so much for having me. >> we'll be right back. stay with us. right back. stay with us. nt lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and joint pain. arexvy is number one in rsv vaccine shots. rsv? make it arexvy. oh... stuffed up again? so congested!
