scott and adrian trig are the parents of 8-year-old hayden.m spina bifida among other ailments and undergone numerous surgeries and requires a daily regimen of drugs and therapy and the family lives in texas where they are already feeling the impact of tate cuts to medicaid. joining me now is adrian and scott trig and their son hayden and the director of the texas association for home care and hospice. and thank you all for being with me this hour. and let me start with this question first. and as executive director and as you look at what the process is of medicaid cuts what are some of the impacts felt by residents in your state? >> so currently many of the providers are suffering at this point and so are the families who receive those services. the legislature passed 350 million reduction to very critical services for children in 2015. and those services -- or those reductions in funding for medicaid has resulted in several businesses closing across the states, across the continuum and thousands of children going without services. >> adrian

eugene scott, adrian elrod, thank you all. that does it for us this morning. stephanie ruhle picks up the coverage right now. >>> hi, there. i'm stephanie ruhle. it's wednesday, june 23rd and the battle is not over yet. vice president kamala harris and senate democrats vowing to continue the fierce fight for voting rights in this country after republicans blocked the legislation late tuesday, following a 50/50 party line vote, which is far short of the 60 votes needed to move forward, at least temporarily shutting down one of president biden's top domestic priorities to override the wave of restrictive voting laws that has been sweeping across the country. >> if senators 60 years ago held that the federal government should never intervene to protect voting rights, this body would have never passed the voting rights act. the republican leader uses the language and the logic of the southern senators in the '60s who defended states' rights, and it is an indefensible position. >> there is no effort in any state in america to suppress votes based upon suppression o

eugene scott, adrian, michael steele. -- as we wrote in first read this morning, mark murray basically said we walked in thinking we were covering two front-runners and came out wondering is th wondering is there just one? and at least the field for now has decided there's one because joe biden seemed to be an afterthought last night. >> absolutely. it was fascinating watching people step up and attack elizabeth warren who you didn't see take that approach previously. like amy klobuchar. like, pete buttigieg was very vocal towards warren. i think it's because these candidates realize they may have a chance at moving themselves up if they go after warren. maybe there was some thought at some point that biden was so far ahead that he wasn't within reach. but i think they think they can really compete with the people that have flipped to warren. >> well, it's is it -- there's two theories to this case, and i'm sure you've heard the other theory, eugene and adrian, which is that some of these democrats are going after warren

eugene scott, adrian elrod and jennifer rueben join us once again.tiptoeing up to a line. we're not exactly sure at what the point we're going to cross it or what that's going to look like, but there have been a lot of concerns. chuck schumer we played earlier in the program saying he's worried we're going to bumble into something. you've focused on this topic quite a bit. what are the warning signs here, and what in your view should be the administration's next step? >> i think there are warning signs. i think when they start trying to make a connection between al qaeda which is a sunni radical group and iran, which is a radical shia country, and they're not citing any specific evidence, that smasks iraq. that was the argument that dick cheney and others used that somehow that they were sheltering al qaeda people in iraq and that somehow justified the iraq war. when you have that kind of repeat, you know, history doesn't repeat it just rhymes, that's a rhyme. another one is they are beginning to cite the original authorization for use of force as pe

scott at 42%. libertarian candidate adrian wily at 6%. off in the first of three televised debates on 48. it should be heated. ahead of. debate rick scott is getting some high profile gop help on the campaign trail. today new jersey governor chris christy is making two stops. ring of fire radio host and florida resident and america's attorney joins us tonight. mike, is this, it is very clear that crist is trying to get people to remember just what happened with rick scott and medicare. is it going to work? is the medicare fraud going to be a big drag on scott's campaign down the stretch? >> too shady for the sunshine state is working. look, scott spent 30 to $fry million to try to move his favorables. they are around ebola and isis kind of numbers. when that hams to a candidate, he has to shore up his unfavorables. so this time you have scott's last run. he ran against a very weak candidate. he had huge koch money but he could move his favorables and he can't do that this time. chris keeps the attack up. too shady for the sunshine state i

adrian elrod, john brabender, and eugene scott, a reporter for "the washington post." let me ask you, there's two issues. one is the democrats and the special counsel and everybody else have the enough on trump to begin to impeach him. the other is, what is the question of russia's involvement clearly established in the 2016 election? whatever effect it had? did it turn it against hillary? whatever it was it was there. the american people know it was there and most believe it's coming back at us in '18. how is that going to affect this administration's history in the books? >> i think it's going to affect very negatively president trump's history. look, it is infuriating an that our president does not seem to care about this, despite collusion or not, the fact that he doesn't seem to care. he's had two major intelligence officials testify in the last two weeks he has not directed them to do anything. it's going to have a dismal effect. >> what do you make of that mike rogers all of them saying he's never told me to do anything about the russians. >> the bigger problem.

and eugene scott, reporter for "the washington post." adrianwhen i covered your campaign, there were clinton supporters said i don't know if i can vote for bernie sanders. there were plenty of bernie sanders supporters that said i don't think i'll vote for hillary clinton. this sort of throws that favoritism on its head. it is not that they don't have favorites, it is not that they don't have even democrats they would prefer not get the nomination, they're just determined to beat donald trump. how significant could this be? >> it is so significant, chris. i think we saw this play out to an extent in the 2018 midterms when trump wasn't on the ballot, but there was a huge protest vote against trump. a lot of people took the vote for granted in 2016, of course not only do you see bernie sanders supporters not support hillary clinton, you saw people throw away a vote on a third party candidate like jill stein. that's what's impactful with swing left and other organizations are doing. they're not only organizing for the general, but to people in dee

eugene scott, adrian elrod, thank you all. that does it for us this morning. battle is not over yet. vice president kamala harris and senate democrats vowing to continue the fierce fight for voting rights in this country after republicans blocked the legislation late tuesday, following a 50/50 party line vote, which is far short of the 60 votes needed to move forward, at least temporarily shutting down one of president biden's top domestic priorities to override the wave of restrictive voting laws that has been

florida, governor rick scott, charlie crist, tied at 42%. 7% for adrian wily. ally divided along gender lines. men favor scott by 8 points. in connecticut, 2010 all over again for governor dannel malloy who won the ray by republican foley by less than 10% but the latest quinnipiac poll has him leading malloy in their rematch. these governor races are as exciting. when you look at florida in the race, how bitter those debates have been. fans or no fans, particularly, i think florida colorado race, we're going to looking at the women again, how many women turn out to vote, perhaps in colorado, the thing that democrats, drawing some caution or hispanics underrepresented. certainly in that gubernatorial race in florida. >> isn't it democrats don't have the same gender gap advantage that they've had in the past this year. colorado especially, udall's getting mocked for the issues, trying to paint his opponent as a cartoon figure. >> i would not overstate that. this is an issue that motivates a lot of men voters. the question, some you see gender gaps. in colorado, th

adrian is that optimism optimistic? democrats have not gotten through police reform which scott has turned against the ideas.n't goet through the voting rights. it's dead on a stretcher they'rebarely going to squeak through what is with the optimism? >> we're lucky our president is in inmentally optimistic. here are the things we know. number one, democrats are going to have to rely on each other to pass the agenda. we won't get any new repu republicans, we're certainly not getting new republicans with voting rights. we have to rely on each other. we have to figure out how to make a deal. that's what nancy pelosi and chuck schumer are working on how do we get in legislation through the build back better loeg slags through i got to tell you look at the bo build back better act compared to where we were i was chief of congress at the time that was a very difficult piece of legislation to get through because it was widely unpopular. this is a very popular bill. i mean, of course, the aca became popular after it was passed and people realized the benefits the legislation provided for them but this is totally dif

. >> adrian, very quickly, when you come in there, scott walker and trouble for swrjeb bush wha needsbeen having? >> with latino voters he has gone very much to the right in the primary. he has flip flopped on his support to path to citizenship and that could hurt him in the general election if he were to face hillary clinton. >> a lot to watch. thank you for helping us break it all down. buzz feed reporter adrian, jackie and ann, thank you very much. >> thank you. >>> up next, top hackers are out in the open in las vegas. we'll take to you the defcon super hackers of the world. e to. welcome to castle bravestorm. it's full of cool stuff, like... my trusty bow. and free of stuff i don't like. we only eat chex cereal. no artificial flavors, and it's gluten-free. mom, brian threw a ball in the house! no sixth grader's ever sat with but your jansport backpack is permission to park it wherever you please. hey. that's that new gear feeling. this week, filler paper and folders just one cent. office depot officemax. gear up for school. gear up for great. >>> it has been just 24 hours since t

eugene scott from "the washington post," and msnbc contributor and former clinton adviser adrian anrond former rnc chairman michael steele. kay, first, let me delve into something about iowa that seems different this time, that is this desperation of the iowa democratic party to create a set of rules to appease national democrats and progressive democrats that this will be a much more open process, much more diverse process, and they've done so much with it, that it's possible we have two different winners on caucus night because they're going to track delegates and turnout. how confusing is all of this going to be? >> it may be very confusing. or there could be a really significant result if one of these candidates sort of sprints out ahead of the rest of the pack. there will be delegate decisions released first and then we'll see the raw vote totals. we'll see the raw vote totals from the first alignment where people go into parts of the room and support a candidate and a group. then we'll see this second raw vote total if there is a realignment on a second round of voting. so actual

adrian's hotel. and now, of course, the house was a crime scene where even the season lead detective scott dudek wasorrified by what he saw. >> it was probably the most gruesome brutal homicide scene i've ever seen. >> it was march 14th, 2008, when the call came in. a country club employee had seen what looked like a body through the scherer's window. detective kirsten tucker was one of the first on the scene. >> as i approached the front door of the home, i could smell the odor of decay and blood from quite a distance away. >> and inside was like a war zone. blood everywhere. and the battered bodies of two people who had clearly fought for their lives. >> the bodies had suffered extensive, extensive injuries. >> it wasn't just the odor that told investigators the bodies had been here a while. >> there was a week's worth of newspapers that had been uncollected. >> they narrowed the time of death had to be some time between friday evening, march 7th the last time anyone saw them, and march 8th. method of death? hard to be sure. no murder weapon lying around but they'd been hit repeatedly by some sort

adrian wiley. this is the third candidate in florida. this is charlie crist republiun against rick scott. of scott. wiley pulling 6.3%. normally you'd think libertarian, conservative, probably pulling more votes from scott, helping crist. wyllie is pulling more votes from scott. scott and crist both have extremely high negative ratings. what seems to be happening is voters who have turned on rick scott and don't want to re-elect him but also find charlie crist objectionable are using this as their protest vehicle. it could be hurting charlie crist. we can show you a few other things. this guy's name is shawn haw. a former pizza delivery man in the raleigh area. kay hagan, tom tillus. this is the senate race and the pizza delivery guy. here's the polling average in north carolina. razor-thin races democrats badly need to win. this is a race where the libertarian could hurt the republican because tom tillis to win and run against hagan, he had competition. he had a libertarian-ish opponent in the primary endorsed by rand paul. here's sean haugh running as a libertarian. this is amanda swaff

scott. he's been rather quiet about it. there will be a libertarian in the race and independent voters who don't like either party who may sign with the independent, adrian the air. there's certainly politics at pla play. cy do agree with what the republican strategist saft, that people are going to go out to vote for governor to vote for governor. but i do see this passing right now according to the polls. it's really up in the air. >> you and i both know the last sort of experience was in 2010 with the fair district. in the end, i mean what impact did those have in 2010? >> you raise a great point. it was a liberally sought amendment and the republicans destroyed it at the polls so you had a liberal constitutional amendment and a republican waive year. in 204 we had a constitutional amendment, do you remember a.c.o.r.n.? >> yep. >> then 2008 we had -- gay marriage was on the ballot. they voted for -- better said we had a gay marriage ban. it seems like the republicans has a way of winning and vice versa. >> that's bad news for charlie crist. in general, this idea of putting drug legalization on the ballot, is this sort of the way we're going to see thi
