jason johnson, thanks for being with us. the rest of the panel stays and i want to talk about a diplomat as we talk about the rest of this story. donald trump saying now he will actually release notes to his staff of his call with the president of ukraine. he hasn't done it yet. it comes after trump spent several days completely dancing around the issue, including whether he abused taxpayer funds in his plot to get his rival investigated. >> -- delaying military aid given the whistle-blower complaint p. >> i didn't delay anything. we paid the military aid to the best of my knowledge. we send so much money not only to ukraine but other places, and why isn't germany spending more money, why isn't france, why aren't other countries in europe helping ukraine more? why is it always the united states? as far as withholding funds, those funds were paid, they were fully paid. but my complaint has always been and i'll with hold again and i'll continue to with hold as such time europe and other nations contribute to ukraine, because t

joining our discussion now is jason johnson. he's the politics editor at theroot.com and professor of politics and media at morgan state university. and jennifer rubin is with us. she's an opinion writer at the "washington post." both are msnbc political analysts. and jennifer, these are bad numbers for donald trump. and that's before john bolton's memoirs are published. >> yes, it is. two things jumped out at me. one is what he was surviving on was his handling of the economy. and in both those polls he's down on that measure. the other thing that's interesting is i've been watching white women and white college-educated women, for the first time you see white non-college-educated women abandoning trump in droves. so i think if you're a republican looking at this mess you're thinking, oh boy, are we in trouble. and if you're a democratic primary voter maybe you're thinking to yourself, you know, maybe electability is a broader concept than we thought. the only one who is unelectable at this point seems to be donald trump. >> an

jason johnson. we will fit in a 30 second break and i have a federal case that can actually stop donald trump's immigration plans in its tracks. later tonight chris hayes is here on his form and news on mortgage zuckerberg. when we come back, barrett berger on the bill barr of it all. berger on the bill barr of it all. rx, the new... the lexus rx has met its match. if they're talking about you... you must be doing something right. experience the style, craftsmanship, and technology that have made the rx the leading luxury suv of all time. lease the 2019 rx 350 for $399 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. . >>> developing news tonight in this intelligence battle over donald trump facing a whistle blower who said there was something he did wrong, reports there might have been an illicit promise to a foreign leader. something so troubling that you have donald trump's own intelligence inspector general saying this is credible. msnbc analyst, good to see you. >> good to see yo

republican strategist mike murphy, and politics editor at theroot.com and msnbc political contributor, jason johnson. i'm going to start with you, jason. on that julian castro decision to come for joe biden, it was obviously a strategy from your point of view, my political friend, was it effective or did it lay an egg? >> he had to do something, i predicted that cory or beto or castro were going to do the suicide pack. i'm going to go for the front-runner. i'm going take him down. it's the only way he could bring attention to himself. i thought more critical than him saying joe biden, you're not covering enough people is when he pulled a highlander. there can be only one. i am the legacy of barack obama. i thought that was a really bold statement. but what it does is it tries to get people to focus on what does julian castro represents. we know what joe biden represents. we know what harris represents. he did a good job of putting the focus on him. will it move the numbers? no. i don't think he hurt joe biden enough. but it did show he is still fighting in this race and he is not going to hey lou hi

establishment and the recent history of democratic economic policy the way sanders and warren can. >> jason johnsonn. jason. >> jacob, what's interesting about this, and i understand this notion of a tap dance, especially during a primary season is there any historical precedent over this? when i look back over the last 30 or 40 years, i've never seen the guy who says stay the course end up winning the primary, let alone win the general election how do biden's people think slow and steady is going to win in a race against a president who offered radical change and is delivering it whether or not we agree with it? >> i guess i'd say a couple of things as you well know biden's appeal politically is very much that the radical change we've had is too radical, and so perhaps when you're looking for precedent you go back to warren harding and a return to normalcy, not to suggest that joe biden is a warren harding candidate is not unusual for a vice presidential candidate or a vptd who's running for president to say i'm offering a third term, whether it was george bush for ronald reagan, al gore for bill

we welcome our political panel of jeanne zaino and jason johnson. welcome.e, give us your snapshot. have we gotten any indication about who got the most reaction from the audience? >> in terms of debate performance, i thought cory booker did a very good job. but in terms of coming out unscathed, keeping things where they are, i think the vice had some good moments, some difficult moments, but i think he came out well. elizabeth warren, who i think is running the best campaign of anybody out there at this point. david: jason, if you look at the amount of time they got to speak on camera, vice president biden got the most. is that a good thing or a bad thing? part of the reason he got that much time was because everybody was going after him. depends on the candidate, sometimes less is more. but i agree, several things the president needed to do last night, and he checked most of the boxes. i don't see anything that occurred that would cause any seismic shift in the polling. it was appropriate, he got the most speaking time, he was put on the spot quite a bit,

this was a partnership between sfpd and operation genesis, spearheaded by officer jason johnson.s six-week program exposed youth to various career opportunities within the community. there were three cohorts that were held. one in criminal justice, one in medical health and fitness, and one in stem, which entails science, technology, engineering and math exposure and training. there were various city agencies that participated in this program. the sheriff's office, the fire department, the d.a.'s office, the public defender's office, idol probation and the s.f. courts. in this program, they were 36 students that participated. there were 305 african-american , one hispanic, 22 females and 14 males. and the youth primarily who were recruited from the bayview hunters point community. some of the highlights were youth having the opportunity to visit the state capitol, capital, visit the academy in san francisco, visit the olympic club and also participate in a mock court trial were youth are given the opportunity to prosecute and defend a case. in june until july, there was also -- s

and politics editor at the root doc and msnbc political contributor, jason johnson. going to start with you, jason. on that, julio castro decision to come for joe biden. it was obviously a strategy from your point of view, was it effective or did it lay an egg? >> he had to do something, joy. i predict that either corey or beto or castro would do the john kasich suicide pact. i'm going for the front-runner. i'm going to take him down. it is the only way he can bring attention to himself. >> i thought even more critical than saying, oh, you're not covering enough people. there can be only one. i am the legacy of barack obama. i thought that was a really bold statement. what it does is try to get people to focus on, what does julio castro really represent? we know what harris represents. he did a good job putting the focus on him. will it move the numbers? no. it did show that he's still fighting in this race and he's not going to allow himself to disappear off into the sunset with the rest of the bottom tier candidates. this is julio talking about, they're both from th

anyway, jason johnson as always, coming up, trump is talking about a family political dynasty. remember the romanoffs, they are saying it. it will last for decades, maybe donald trump, jr. or ivanka, some are saying what predicted they would, a family dynasty. meanwhile, former south carolina governor mark sanford joins us, also a list of republicans who want to make sure this trump era ends next year. sanford is running for president. he joins me next. trump's attempted afghanistan peace summit at camp david failed. some say because of his ego, he thought it was a great idea to invite the taliban who basically supported 9/11 to come to camp david days after the anniversary of what, 9/11. >>> stacy abrams, a successful person lost a narrow race for georgia. she will come tonight to talk about how the democrats can, national democrats, a presidential candidate can carry georgia. she will give us her playbook for that she is coming to us live to explain how the peach state will become more democrat. what a show tonight. stay with us. >>> zblrnlgs from the couldn't be prouders to

tonight we've got a lot of different topics to cover but we begin on following the money with jason johnson and margaret carlson from the daily beast. margaret, it would seem that things that donald trump has long been known for, the excessive exaggeration of his properties, the blatant self-promotion and self-enrichment are getting more attention now, at least the way it went down with pence and attorney general barr planning 30 k at the trump hotel in washington. >> the others have been a little bit vaguer because who was paying? william barr is paying the 30,000 out of his own pocket, just happens to be going to the trump hotel down the street. but this one is the taxpayer, and, you know, scott prue wet and ryan zince and tom price were let go, fired, pushed out for doing this very same thing, staying in expensive hotels and taking private jets on the taxpayer dime. so involving the taxpayer money i think is the key here in why oversight and judiciary are doing it. but the other part about this. this is such a bold move. like it wasn't going to be a secret that he was going there, and th

jason johnson's here. we needed him. this is the breakdown.t away from just the asinine, which is all things rudy, to the national security threat that nobody can -- and this is like a who's on first, like who's doing our foreign policy bidding with ukraine, you know, by the way there's a military aid package in the wings and rudy's running around with the new, you know, clinton cash book trying to get the ukrainians to investigate joe biden. who's in charge of that? i don't know. >> it's amazing to me how many people maguire doesn't know what they're doing or doesn't know who they're a part of or doesn't know what they're responsible for. he says that the president is not part of american intelligence which amazes me how the president is not part of american intelligence. >> that might be a good thing. >> he doesn't really reflect it a lot even though he's commander in chief. he doesn't know where rudy giuliani is. and to the degree we have foreign policy being handled but also people like jared kushner with all sorts of security clearances g

come on in, jason johnson, ted cruz's senate campaign strategist.the program. >> thank you. stuart: i'm saying the democrats have an extremely hard time defining themselves and bringing everything together with a coherent message because they're split every which way. where am i going wrong? am i overstating the case? >> i don't think you're overstating the case. the only thing i wou add on them trying to bring themselves together, if you step back, and think about it, we're one year away from a presidential election in 2020. democrats are in control of the house yet what are they doing? the only thing they're really focused on even though it is a farce, impeachment. impeaching the president. donald trump is the glue that binds this democratic party. you take donald trump away they fall apart. they have so many factions, mostly, as you noted driven by the squad and aoc, right from the radical left. stuart: you're a texas guy. >> yes, sir. stuart: the debate in texas, houston. >> indeed. stuart: what about all the talk maybe in 2020 texas goes democr

>> jason johnson, political analy analyst, tiffany cross, and ed randall, former governor of pennsylvaniat ed that prompted the discussion looking at the way team biden fought back. there is a sense that biden supporters will not break any descent from anything of joe biden or any criticism of him. some may say may not be a healthy strategy. what do you make of that? the sense they'll break no debate from joe biden's record. >> first of all, joy, thank you for having me on. i want to clear up something. the biden cam tpaign did not as me to write that debate. i don't work for the biden campaign. the new york times called about a story that was published before the opt ed and based on that story, they were doing a story by elizabeth warren's fund raising. she changed her policy and attacked the biden's fundraiser in philadelphia in june. 20 other people given elizabeth maximum under federal law, ten months before our senate campaign. the "times" called me on thursday, will you write an opt ed piece, the biden campaign had nothing to do with it. when i am asked a question, i answered it. >>

and just thanks to steve codda, jason elliott, p.j. johnson elsburn, seth boxer and mary murphy. and then there is our amazing staff, my teammates. enjoy this day. every one of you should be proud, knowing that you have a piece of this moment. i'm proud to be your teammate. in a city that doesn't spend tax dollar on sports facilities, founding partners take on an even more important role. building a privately financed arena would not be possible without them. at the top of that list is j.p. morgan chase. more than three and a half years ago, chase and the warriors had a shared vision and resulted in a 20-year partnership to call this building chase center. in addition to chase, since then, we have announced a list of our founding partners who, without them, this simply would not be possible. we gather here today as part of our kaiser permanente community-based partnership. our founding partners, google cloud, h.p.e., oracle, pepsi, rakuten, ticketmaster, united airlines and verizon. together, with all of our other partners in attendance, we wa

politics and journalism professor at mor began state university and an msnbc political contributor jason johnsonits into the politics of all of this? when you see senator kamala harris going so in depth on an issue that is clearly so important, one of the issues of our time, and yet you also have this happening in washington, some democrats wanting to push impeachment. how does it fit into the political conversation for candidates 2020? what we're heading towards is really the 11th hour here right? you have many candidates whether it's cory booker or senator kamala harris, you have many candidates that say look, we do think we should go forward with impeachment proceedings. they're about to head into primary season. if it's going to happen, it needs to happen soon. it needs to happen at a point when americans are going to be home watching television so they can see this process. if nancy pelosi does not push for this, there is no chance the candidates will even have time to go through the impeachment proceedings when they're going to be in primary states. >> let's talk about the primaries. we ju

joining our conversation, john harwood, and an msnbc political contributor jason johnson, former u.s.bc news and political analyst claire mccaskill. and professor of tulane university, walter isakson. the 2020 democratic candidates are set to take the stage in houston later this evening for the party's third primary debate. unlike previous debates, one will feature them on stage for one night only. here's the order. senator amy klobuchar, cory booker, pete buttigieg, bernie sanders, former vice president joe biden right there in the middle. flanked by senator elizabeth warren. then senator kamala harris, andrew yang, former congressman beto o'rourke and former hud secretary julian castro will take the stage. plenty of attention as joe said will be on joe biden as he and elizabeth warren face-off on the first time on the same stage. biden's advisers pushed back on the idea it would be a showdown between the former vice president and the massachusetts senator saying they expect he's more likely to face direct attacks from others on the stage. biden's camp also says he's eager to make a

jason: our big story of the week, brexit. boris johnson'so or die strategy to exit the eu was derailed and his plan for a general election was rejected. carol: what a week. having bet everything on getting britain out of the european union by october 31, now he really can't back down. let's bring in our editor from london on what's next for the u.k. prime minister and if he will need to delay brexit. what a week it was for boris johnson. how weakened is he as a leader of the u.k.? >> boris johnson is completely trapped. he has been british prime minister only six weeks and has already discovered that there is not a great deal that he can do. he is in charge of a government that has no majority at all in the house of commons, because not least, he decided to fire 21 members of his own party. he refused to follow his instructions. it is an extremely difficult situation for him. he has lost all authority. has to hope the country gives him a geordie in parliament and a new mandate -- a majority in parliament and a new mandate. he tried to do tha

jason: another situation is brexit. we had boris johnson leave new york early to get back. we are going to be hearing from him later on today. you are a big landowner and landlord, i should say, there in london. bruce: canary wharf obviously has been a big project. jason: you've got a lot invested there. how does that play through? bruce: business has been good since brexit happened. every day that this gets extended and nothing happens, fewer decisions get made, and that is not helpful for business. in the fullness of time, i think just getting something resolved will be a good thing for everyone. london is going to be a center of commerce for a long time. we just need -- guy: brookfield's bruce flatt speaking to jason kelly at the bloomberg global business forum. vonnie: we want to get to the united nations general assembly in new york now. iran's president hassan rouhani is speaking now. let's listen in. rouhani: -- are certainly doomed. as a gets to the u.s. disruptive plans, the islamic republic of iran's cooperation on security and counterterrorism decisive.so much de

johnson: if harlem and materia and had their way. the standard poetic practice to surrogates, if only they had never invented the ship, than jason never would have sailed, and all sorts of disasters would never have happened. it is human instinct to be wary of any kind of technical progress. 1829, they thought the human frame would not withstand the speeds of stephenson's rocket, and today, there are people who are actually anti-science. a whole movement who are refused to who have recognize that vaccinations have eradicated smallpox and, therefore, endangering the very population they want to protect, and i totally reject this anti-scientific pessimism. i am positive about the ability of new technology to serve as a liberator and to remake the world wondrously and benignly. indeed, in this respect, technology is already doing just that. nanotechnology. i mentioned earlier revolutionizing medicine with , its fraction of the size of the red blood cells capable swimming through our bodies, dispensing medicine, and attacking malignant cells like a "star wars" armada. there is a new generation giving the gift of hearing two people who oth

jason: let's talk about one specific situation, brexit. we had a boris johnsony to get back. we will be hearing from him later on today. you are a big landowner and a big landlord in london. canary wharf has been a big project. -- you have got a lot invested their. how does that play through? bruce: business has been good since brexit happened. every day this gets extended and nothing happens, fewer decisions get made and that is not helpful. in the fullness of time, getting something result will be good for everyone in london will be a center of commerce for a long time. we just need a solution, that's all. jason: you are about to combine officially with oaktree. what should we expect in the near term in terms of opportunities? bruce: we have announced closing on monday. we are excited and thrilled to partner with their team. we will help them in any way we possibly can. we think it is an added benefit to our institutional clients. in, whereld we are low rates are pushing money into alternatives, our general private equity real estate franchise will benefit and

jason: sure. a couple of things happened. two big votes in the house of commons here in london. both were defeats for prime minister boris johnson. the first was a proposal that will effectively extend the brexit deadline once again if mr. johnson cannot renegotiate terms of the u.k.'s withdrawal with the europea

johnson is the man to pull this off if anyone can. >> on what has been a long and lengthy debate in the house of commons, jason douglas joining us from london. his work is available online. thank you for being with us. jason: thank you very much. my pleasure. announcer: and now a debate from the british house of commons on the bill to block a no deal brexit, despite the objections of british by mr. boris johnson. this portion of the debate is just under two hours. >> thank you very much indeed, mr. speaker. i beg to move the bill be re ad for a second time. start to say at the that every single member of this house, whatever the with a hold on the fundamental political question is trying as they see best to act international interest and -- in the national interest and of their constituents. the problem is each of us here today as a slightly different view of what those best interests are, so i hope we can debate this bill in what i recognize is a short amount of time. i i may respond to the point, quote the right honorable member who on the third of april in the house said it can only be done at high-speed because there is no time l

jason crow and my key cheryl. >>> this breaking news a historic ruling in the united kingdom. the supreme court there has just ruled the prime minister boris johnson suspended parliament illegally the in run up to the deadline for brexit. melissa bell is live outside the supreme court with the breaking details. there's so much going on here including the issue of did the prime minister lie to the queen? >> reporter: this has been one of the central questions that was being examined by these 11 judges here at the supreme court who were going to rule not only on the legality of whether he should have suspended parliament for that crucial five-week period leading up to the 31st of october deadline when without a deal, the united kingdom is doomed to crashing out of the e.u. if boris johnson gets his way. in the end the supreme court judges could not have gone any further, john in their verdict against the prime minister, against the government, essentially ruling not only that the suspension of parliament had been unlawful, which opens questions about how westminster gets back to work, and of course just across the road from the supreme court. a bunc

jason: sure. a couple of things happened. two big votes in the house of commons here in london. both were defeats for prime minister boris johnson. the first was a proposal that will effectively extend the brexit deadline once again if mr. johnson cannot renegotiate terms of the u.k.'s withdrawal with the european union and get parliament back on the plan. it means brexit is certainly to be delayed again beyond october 31. the second defeat was on his plans for a general election. he wanted to call a quick snap general election on october 15. parliament has voted that down, as well. this means the u.k. is probably still on course for an election, but not at the time of mr. johnson's choosing, it will almost certainly be in november or after brexit being delayed. >> can you explain that process? how an election is determined in great britain? jason: there are a couple ways it can happen, which is why it is complicated. in the old days, the prime minister could call an election whenever he'd like. in 2011, they changed the rules. a prime minister can call an election a couple of different ways. the easiest is if he gets a two thir
