he's at the white house? using his stanford credentials to try to shine up his reputation here and the president's bragging on that all the time i mean, so warned scott atlas' former colleagues from the medical school from which he's no longer. and by the way, he was a radiologist, not somebody who actually worked on infectious diseases, before the white house plucked him from obscurity/fox news to bring him into the white house to run the response to an infectious disease epidemic, something on which he has zero expertise. so these things are coming together in the news right? caputo today is out as the trump guy, riding herd on the cdc, his so-called science adviser has been exposed by the academic institution he tried to associate him with meanwhile, the white house top covid doctor is also exposed by his former colleagues at the institution the white house has tried to associate him with but this isn't a personnel story what this is about now, thanks to the president being unable to contain himself and ha

if you're the white house counsel, there's no other white house counsel to call. it's just you and the president. i try to tell the story of somewhat that's like. i thought that is the most unique thing i could find in the trump era. >> i think what you have is the first of what will be many volumes of people telling authors what they were doing to save the country from president trump while they were working inside. that's what you heard from pretty much nixon operative who didn't go to prison. you would be hearing for decades later in washington what they were doing. some of them it's real. don mcgahn, we see in the mueller investigation exactly some of these things that you laid out and how he refused to go through with the firing of mueller. but this book is a remarkable, a remarkable account of life inside that white house, and this book has taken on its own life inside that white house today. michael schmidt, thank you very much for joining us tonight. we really appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> thank you. >>> and when we come back, plouffe will joi

we've heard no such pronouncements from the white house. what the president has been doing almost every day in recent days now is holding these increasingly large, almost completely mask-free, no social distancing rallies, including this one that he's doing tonight right now in virginia. this crowd was gathered there for hours before the president got there. the president has just taken the stage within the last few minutes. health officials in virginia tried to stop this rally tonight because a gathering of thousands of people violates the ban in that state on large gatherings in order to try to prevent the spread of coronavirus. the campaign and the white house were totally defiant in the face of that state rule. a local director from the state health department in virginia wrote to the group hosting tonight's rally, pleading with them to cancel it for health reasons. quote, the make america great again event will draw thousands, estimates of up to 4,000 people into the city of newport news. an event of this size during the covid-19 pande

people who have worked at the white house say the white house medical office is so well equipped that white house medical staff can handle on site all but the most serious incidents without a president ever having to be rushed off campus from the white house to a hospital. but rushed he was that saturday afternoon in mid-november. what was that all about? well, tomorrow this book comes out. it's called "donald trump v. the united states: inside the struggle to stop a president." it's by two-time pulitzer prize-winning "new york times" report michael schmidt. and we get a little bit of a hint about what might have happened there on page 389. quote, either the constitution meant something and was worth defending, or it wasn't, pelosi contended. the senate would almost certainly not convict, but that wasn't the point. this was for the record and for history. the whistle-blower on the ukraine matter had accomplished what everyone before him had failed to do. he'd stopped president trump in his tracks and had him on the path to being impeached. two months later on a saturday afternoon in m

or couldn't be diagnosed at the white house.ow, i won't speculate what that is, but, you know, no one mentioned today about mini strokes. the president was sort of auto defending that. i don't know what happened to the president, but something did and the white house is going out of their way not to tell the public. they need to explain what happened to the president. this is an election season. the public is entitled to know about the health of the president, and we know very little about this man. mind you, his sort of clearance letter when he ran for president four years ago was written by dr. bornstein who later admitted the president himself had written the letter. that's the famous let that are essentially says that if elected he would be the healthiest man to assume the office of the president and that all his tests were exceedingly positive. the president wrote his own letter. we know nothing about his health. yet he carries the nuclear launch codes, yet he managing the worst public health disaster in the nation's histor

every white house has had leaks but i think the level is much higher in this white house than we have seen in the past. i think people get excited about the proximity and look for different reasons. some people want to drive an agenda. some people are hoping to feel important and let everybody know they are in the room. some people do it to settle scores. the i think it's such a disloyal and disgusting practice. i'm not a big fan of it as i write about in the book. i would like to see it stopped but i don't see that happening in this white house or any white house. >> host: do you have any idea who anonymous was, the anonymoi don't know if they would tell us if you did that do you suspect who it was and maybe describe that person's role? >> guest: i don't have anything hard and fast but if i did i would have announced its long ago, because i just don't think that that bit of action, if you still so strongly about something, stand up and be bold in your declaration. i have no problem talking about what i believe in being outside and outspoken on what my beliefs are and who i support an

the white house is hoping people will have opinions about cohen himself. we'll see how that plays out. the president has also said he expects to have a lot of negative stories in the run-up to the election as a part of our very hot and hostile political season. richard? all right, kelly. thank you so much. >>> white house correspondent kelly o'donnell. >>> next, groups are gathering to celebrate the labor day holiday while 11% of u.s. households do not have enough food to eat. we'll dig into where the next round of stimulus stands. >>> coming up for you at 6:30 eastern, cal perry shares his experience traveling more than 7,000 miles across 20 cities. he and his crew set out to speak with officials and everyday americans about how the pandemic is affecting their lives. watch "road to recovery: america at a cross-roads" tonight at 6:30 eastern on msnbc. safe drivers save 40%!!! guys! guys! check it out. safe drivers save 40%!!! safe drivers save 40%! safe drivers save 40%!!! that's safe drivers save 40%. it is, that's safe drivers save 40%. - he's right ther

capitol and at the white house. the 87-year-old ginsburg leaves behind a rich legacy and a powerful court seat. her passing sets up a battle over her replacement and the future of the nation's highest court. the battle lines are already being drawn. today the president tweeting that republicans have an obligation to select a justice nominee without delay. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell vowing the president's pick will get a vote on the senate floor. all of this despite ginsburg's final wish that a new justice not be selected until after the election. with just 45 days until voters cast their ballots, the 2020 race has just been reshape. we're told the president could begin meeting with potential nominees as early as next week. for more on the president's thinking, let's go to the white house, cnn's boris sanchez. what are you learning? >> reporter: we're getting a clearer picture of the timeline from the white house on when we can expect them to nominate a potential new justice to the supreme court. a trump

what i found when i arrived at the white house was it wasn't part of any strategy at all.e days he made those remarks. >> trump soon upped the ante in his speech at the united nations. >> if forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. rocketman is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. >> well, there is something to what was referred to during the nixon era as the mad man theory. you can gain strategic advantage by being seen as kind of a mad man. for them not to know what you're going to do next. >> the folks at foggy bottom who were there for eons prefer to g slow and steadily. >> the idea that president trump has been unpredictable, a lot of long-time diplomats obviously are not a fan of it. >> they take him much more seriously because he does things that others talked about but never do. >> there's no comparing how trump operates to any other president. it is completely disruptive and different than anything you've ever seen before. >> such as in israel. first moving the embassy to jerusalem and thus r

the white house has tried to pass this off as his normal physical.ou do not have to be anesthetized for any part of your normal physical. so we have that from mike schmi schmidt's book from last night. this morning the president said this on twitter out of the blue. he just wanted everybody to know that he had never suffered a series of mini strokes. never happened. now, nobody said stroke. why are you worried that people think you had a stroke? the president then got his doctor at the white house to release a statement repeating the same thing, that he had never had a mini stroke or a stroke. again, nobody reported that. michael schmidt did not report that in his book. no media outlet reported that. the white house didn't give any further details, but this walter reed trip is now even more intriguing than it was before. we know it was not planned because it was not on the president's schedule. we know doctors at walter reed were not notified. we know that trump stayed at walter reed for a couple of hours and didn't hold another public event until th

was on the official white house website. have instances of reporters asking to cover it and they were directed to the website, which is an affront to the working journalist. also from the obama administration, there was very aggressive investigations of journalists. and the two best-known ones, who are the most consequential ones, have similar names. james rosen and james risen. one from fox and one is a print journalist. both of them were wiretapped in the case of the fox news reporter, his family phones were wiretapped all to find the sources of the material. whether you agree or not that america was in the same kind of peril for its very survival as it was during the civil war, i think you have to acknowledge that barack obama was a president who could crackdown on press accessibility and coverage. and if you look at the rankings that research organizations did at the end of his presidency, i think they come down on the side that he was not transparent, except in the sense that he argues he was. susan: as with bill clinto

she was very heavily lobbied for in the white house by key white house officials including a white house chief of staff mark meadows and counsel pat sibaloni and heavily promoted by senate republicans, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell who will be steering so much of this process on capitol hill, was confident with judge barrett. she is a known commodity. not only has she been confirmed, she had become kind of this rising rock star among conservatives because after her brutal confirmation fight for her current circuit cot seat, and a lot of senate republicans had been privately pushing judge barrett for some time. they have seen her as the perfect candidate for the ruth bader ginsburg vacancy. someone who really ds excite the -- their base, conservative voters. and they seem to think -- they know it's going to be a bruising fight but this is on nominee that they're happy to put it all on the line for. robert: carl, will leader mcconnell be able to get this done by election day? carl: yeah. that's the big question surrounding all of this. the time line is pretty tight. and as we've s

when it comes to coronavirus and its potential vaccine the white house and the president in particular has been wrong so often about -- about treatments for the vaccine and including when he suggested that inject disinfectant about a possible remedy the politics of this are important. the white house really is hopeful for some sort of vaccine announcement, to be able to announce a vaccine prior to election day, they're putting a lot of eggs in that basket, to the point where that's raised concerns not only among democrats but those in the medical community, worried that the white house will pressure to release a vaccine before it's ready. to the president, he does -- his critics acknowledge for betting big on vaccine they are manufacturing as well as developing simultaneously to speed up the process to this work, the president and joe biden has said so himself, the president would get credit for vaccine coming out biden says he wants a vaccine safely ready as soon as possible but the question is, will americans trust this vaccine, when will it be ready? the head of the cdc today sugges

is this a strategy by the white house?> now, it has never been a strategy, early on i can tell you back in march when i first -- there were a number of people that said there is a couple of ways we can look at this. president made the decision we need to see if we can mitigate the damages as much as possible, vied for hospital capacity, ventilator capacity, put a fast track on therapeutics and vaccines and that continues to not only our official, but our unofficial tactic at hitting this. there are a number of individuals that would indicate that herd immunity, once we get the antibodies and -- you are already in ways of seeing that in new york city because you have a lower contagion rate because they experienced such a high draft of -- but they lost so many lives, so that is not something that the white house chose to employ, it is something that we believe by not going that route saved the lives. it is why we shutdown the economy, it is why we continues to work at rapid speed for vaccines. to discount the fact that there

the white house didn't give any further details. but this walter reed trip now is even more intriguing than it was before. we know it was not planned because it was not on the president's schedule. we know that doctors at walter reed were not notified of the president's visit. we know that president trump stayed at walter reed for a couple hours that way and didn't have another public event for three days. but other than that, we know very little other than now the president is insistently and repeatedly tweeting that it definitely wasn't about him having a stroke. in his words today on twitter, not mean a minor one. okay. you're the one who brought that up. keep an eye on this. still many open questions here. it's time for the biggest sale of the year on the sleep number 360 smart bed. can it help with snoring? i've never heard snoring. exactly. no problem. ...and done and now, all beds are on sale. save 50% on the sleep number 360 limited edition smart bed. only for a limited time. yeah. this moving thing never gets any easier. we
