in 2007, msnb had two liberal hosts and two conservative hosts in primetime and straight news throughouthe day. in 2013 all liberal and opinion on the day side. they doubled their ratings in the key demo you mentioned before. so, to do opinion, it is cheaper, as we pointed out before, it gives you better ratings. >> the morning show anchored by joe scarborough, he does not fall in the liberal category. we got an advance look at the cover story of "the new republic." and in that piece, we could put up the cover, griffin says he'll beat fox news by next year, which is kind of a bold boast. also the interview for this piece is the fox news chairman roger ailes taking note of the fact that the president of cnn worldwide, we're close friends when both worked together at nbc. quoted as saying, i'm found of griffin, but he built his whole career out of being in zucker's wedding party. couple hard shots being thrown there. >> i like that. i thought he was going to say bar mitzvah, but wedding party. but there's a reason ailes is as successful as he is. he is a walking headline. he can talk to me

andrew weissmann served a lead prosecutor on rober mueller's special counsel team he's co-host of the msnbonald trump. and he joins me now. andrew, i found this sort of comical, as jordan ticks through the different case outstanding against trump, the show how crazy the left is a opposed to how maybe it th person at the center of this i maybe not the best food. >> yes, at some point a certai segment of the american public will say, you know what? maybe one was wrong, maybe too was wrong -- but really four -- charged. you cannot make that argumen with respect to anything involving january six were s many scores and scores and scores of soldiers have been charged. and if the proof is there that donald trump lead those foot soldiers in, frankly, in a muc more concerted way than just what happened on january 6th there's no argument that h should somehow be singled ou for immunity as the leader and the same thing i mar-a-lago - we did a whole study at nyu an how that statute and tapin classified documents and unlawfully retaining them an obstructing is prosecuted. and people who have done far l

barbara mcquaid joins me and joyce advanvance, both are msnb contributors and dear friends of mine. to say, barbara, the weirdest thing about this is michigan this week has a real problem on its hands. it's got flooding, dam breakages. it actually requires federal assistance, and the president telling someone you can't do this or you won't get money reminds me of a phone call the president was on that got him into a whole lot of hot water once. the president isn't supposed to do stuff like this. let alone what he thinks about mail-in ballots, which we'll talk about in a second, am i right in saying the president threatening to withhold funding for this is not legitimate? >> you're right, ali. it really goes back to the very thing that professor pam carlin testified about when she was testifying at the impeachment hearings about it would be just as improper for president trump to do what he did in ukraine as if he were to say to a state i'm going to withhold disaster aid unless you do what i want to do. and it seems like he's playing right out of that play book. it's absolutely not a

. >> leading off our discussion now, steveff schmidt, a former republican strategist, and msnb political analyst. steve, manyan reasons why i want you to leadev off tonight. but as a former presidential campaign strategist, i don't know if you have themp feeling i did when i saw the president complete his speech tonight. but i believed i was watching the first trump nationally televised re-election campaign speech. >> i think you're certainly right about that, lawrence. i was struck, though, by the venue, the oval office. i thought about fdr and churchill in the early hours of the second world warly in the spacend inches from where trump addressed the nation. plotting toe save democracy. and western civilization. and you consider that speech, what a powerful argument it makes against the theory of evolution. as we look at the continuing debasement of the office of the presidency of the united states. we saw from trump today the typical lying, the racial demagoguery. the nonsense. the spinning of crises out of wholecloth. what was most apparent was the degree in which he appears to be an
