rachel maddow overplayed her hand here and i think it's wrong to sort of-- just because rachel maddow happens to be a liberal, it's wrong to lump her in with the rest of us. we want to see all of your tax returns, every presidential candidate, democrat or republican has released years and years of tax returns, beside one, donald trump. eric: let me ask you, gina, do you think this was as on par with steve harvey's miss universe flub or worse than the oscar flub last month? what are your thoughts? >> i think it was worse, here is why, this was an intentional attempt to undermine a president, to distract from the things, the real news, things that matter, like that people want to blow us up. like the amazing job that president trump is doing regarding jobs. like recovering economy and a stock market that's strong. those are the things that the american people are really interested in. this has become the birth certificate issue of the trump presidency. no one wants to hear about that anymore and rachel maddow absolutely ensured that. eric: lisa. >> i think it's hilarious. there's an ass

tell us what you think, rachel. rachel: everyone likes paul ryan in the house conference.an family that has all their fights out in the open. i think the process is healthier and more transparent. in the end we'll get a better bill. lou: i'm sure he's a lovely fellow. but he's incompetent. he never achieved anything in congress. he hasn't passed significant legislation. he has been there for 18 years. two years as speaker. what do you say? rain rrp budget reform -- rachel: budget reform wasn't even a thought in the process until paul ryan. the democrats look united, but it's all under the surface and they rig their election. lou: who would want to fight with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer? rachel: they are going come back with a better bill. lou: who will be the speaker when they do? rachel: paul ryan will be the speaker. lou: the result has been crickets. what do you think, lou? gayle: i think rachel is right, paul ryan is your typical d.c. thought leader and not a do-leader. we were talking about the replacement for speaker boehner that paul ryan had to be persuaded to b

he was able to provided them tonight to rachel and us. dnc issued a statement now in response to what has been revealed tonight on msnbc. the white house's willingness to release some tax information when it suits them proves donald trump's audit excuse is a sham. >> the only reason to not release his returns is to hide what's in them such as financial connection with the russians and kremlin. to my surprise, the dnc has made an interesting point because i did not think they would. in the white house's statement tonight, they accepted all the numbers that are in the release return pages. that seems to indicate that they are in effect saying this israel. this is really it. why would they would be willing to do that on the rest of these returns or any returns? >> i guess there is nothing to lose at this point. >> but, david, the dnc's point -- they said there are audits. >> there is no proof there is an audit. >> i remember here of the fifth amendment rule and invoke the fifth amendment rights and not testify. when i want and when it is con

this boomerang gave rachel maddow a black eye. >> tom: i felt a little bad, paul, for rachel.ted her to have something after that tweet, everyone got so excited. she didn't have much there, did she? >> it didn't look like it, the back half of that show was how atlanta falcons fans felt watching the super bowl. they gave her a lot of grief for hyping it up before the commercial break, leaving the audience hanging. that's network tv 101, have you ever seen lawn order, come on. >> tom: how about the show, we're always teasing. if they hang around for the end, it'll be a special. it was tv, they're treating it like she's a serious journalist, i want to give her a break, she's trying to get the ratings. >> she knew going in. she knew going in, it's not like it was breaking news and they handed it to her, you're alive. she knew this is nothing, we should definitely promote this. we should tweet about this. >> tom: did you like her 20 minute monologue that went nowhere, but doesn't she do that every night? >> i couldn't watch it, i got my fill of rachel maddow when i was watching the

host: rachel mentioned flows of migration. how is mexican migration broadly different from other immigration, a border country? what about this flow of back and forth between the united states? what is the historical context for that? ms. cullison: the historical context has a lot to do with the fact that much of the u.s., the western region used to be mexico. so, there has for more than, you know, more than a century, been a circular migration of people just with families just with , mercantile kinds of circuits, this sort of natural human travel where the border to not -- did not really have any significance in a political way to these people that were making this circular migration. what happened over the 20th century with the invention of border patrol in the 1920's but then with increasing enforcement efforts, starting especially in the 1960's, what starts to happen is people start to decide that it's too risky to return to mexico for fear of being able to come back in. to be stopped at the border. if they have already go

when rachel maddow disclosed two pages of the president's tax returns. president tweeted nbc, fake news. but even before she got out the news, the white house confirmed the returns were real. >> they talked to us before they aired it to let us know they were doing the segment. it showed it's illegal to publish tax returns. to leak them and publish them. there is an act that prohibits that on another citizen. the idea they would hype the idea they obtained an illegal document and hype it to show the president paid $38 million, an effective rate of 28% tax. the fact that he's a wealthy man and he does pay taxes. for nbc to continue from that point forward to start perpetuating a faults narrative about what the president did. that is unbelievably dishonest. it shows the lengths to which nbc will go to get raiding. howie: johnson said it was in his nail box. does anybody believe he went to his nail box and found my tax returns? >> this is a former reporter that is running a blog, and somehow someone believes he's the best way to get out key news. it's a litt

if it was easy for tonight's boom before rachel maddow show on the air. the white house had statement and was able to say, here is what we maid much left and center. why not provide that information for others. given that kind of transparencies would put so many people's mind at ease, why not just do that. >> how many people come in contact with the tax returns of a wealthy individual because obviously, a lot of journalists are using this as an opportunity, whatever form they choose, hey, anyone out there has more of this, let us know? >> that remains to be seen. >> before this president, you would say listen, you don't see these kinds of leaks out of the government. this is an unprecedented time. president trump has not run for a period of time of his organization. for the most part, the trump organization is not a large company. it is a rather small staff and a family business. it is not like there are loads of people who are touching these tax returns. the fact that this is coming out tonight, some are saying well, if it was, president trump or someone

rachel maddow at msnbc or president trump? >> i said when they look at that nfl -- envelope, they're going to find bannon's finger prints on it. it's the president's tax return. somebody has them and has been leaking them. don't think from his anger that he knows who did it. the leak and its exposition of rachel maddow on msnbc has blown a hole that he hasn't paid any taxes. $38 million on $158 million is a lot of money. it's higher taxes than mitt romney paid, warren buffet or maybe even his secretary. >> shepard: and the tax rate back then was 25%. the tax rate picked by bernie sanders is 13%. the tax rate paid by former president obama is 18%. comcast, which owns msnbc pays around 23, 24%. so president trump, donald trump then, is paying a higher tax rate than his critics. >> indeed he is. bernie sanders is paying 18%? >> 13%. >> the man of the little people and paying the little people's tax rate. but this damages the case made by the democrats against the president. you heard talk that he went 18 years and he paid nothing
