probably not, but they won and the evolution continues. >> and you have mentioned muhammad ali was a part of that movement. how long did that movement last as an athlete? clyde: well, for muhammad ali, it probably lasted longer to the 1960's for he than for any of the other athletes because, as you know, because of his political stance, cassius clay, who later became muhammad ali, actually was stripped of his heavyweight title. his struggle went on into the 1970's. it can be argued that the most prominent black athlete, or the one who lost the most in the 1960's, could easily be called muhammad ali. and even today, the fruit that we see happening from the life of muhammad ali and in the life of colin kaepernick and in the life of eric reed and in the life of lebron james is born from the stand, the courage of muhammad ali. >> were there some other icons that we may be less familiar with that you can talk about? clyde: doug johnson from the 1920's, who was a prominent boxer who refused to allow himself to be paid in chicken feed. he was a world champion boxer in 1919 and 1920. he was

muhammad ali was controversial. the day after he wins the title, conference, he announces that his name is no clay, he isus going by cassius x. then he is a member of the nation of islam, and he is going by -- he is political. he was a little bit ahead of his generation. he comes out against vietnam before it is a popular stance to take. so he completely changes the landscape for an athlete. thatanges the landscape athletes have today, where they can take political positions. most of them don't, but they certainly can, and some do. >> i think that is an interesting then diagram, -- ise what we are talking am going to sort of in faye intoy lob tammy the entertainment category, but typically these are roads that have such tension when the wires get crossed, and we worked for a long time on a documentary we could not get made called actors in america, the offstage history of actors in america. 1865 is thein april most famous actor in america, and he was doing repertory in boston. when he finishes that show last night,

of course, ali was probably more important to cosell than cosell was to ali. but they both -- they were an act, really. it was always an act. yoir hair looks like a horse's tail or something like that, for cosell's toupe. >> they see an analogy between that and the rat pack, sinatra and sammy davis that there were these public events that were magnified, private events. obviously, sammy davis idolized sinatra. in many ways, he was better for sammy davis than sammy davis was for sinatra. they had something that went on behind closed doors. they were able to metamorphose into great entertainment. >> how do you deal with -- i listen to sirius sinatra on the radio station and sometimes they'll play stuff in vegas and sammy davis jr. is there and the unbelievable con descending way that sinatra treats sammy davis jr. do you deal with that? >> it's an unresolvable issue. to fill you in, the rat pack were two italians, a you and an african-american who converted to judaism, right, and the son-in-law of the president. and a lot of their humor was very hard hitting. be

ali.and then you have the mutual advantage of their relationship. >> no question about it. they both understood that the other was helpful to their career. that was creating a larger thing. of course, muhammad ali was probably more important to howard cosell then howard cosell was to muhammad ali. they were an act. it was always an act. and they use the same routines over and over. your hair looks like a horses tail , or something like that to talk about howard cosell's to pay. they see an analogy between that and the rat pack between sinatra and sammy davis. there were public events that were magnified private events. obviously sammy davis idolized sinatra. in many ways sinatra was better for sammy davis, then sammy davis was for sinatra. they had something that went on behind closed doors , they were able to metamorphosis it into something that was a double act in american entertainment. >> i listen to sinatra on the radio station. and sometimes they'll play vegas and the rat pack. it in

that's really been true, ali. it's interesting, biden's support, i've covered all of the major candidates in different forms or fashions in all of these different early states. joe biden and bernie sanders are both of the two candidates whose supporters are shopping the least. which means when i go to their events, i always ask people who is on your short list, who else are you looking at, and biden supporters and bernie supporters are the most likely to say this is my guy or my georgal. that's backed up by data from the recent pew poll. biden is thought to be a known commodity. he's got a vacation house here in south carolina. he has never been in the presidential race by the time they got to south carolina, he's never been in the top competitors among it. but he's a zone commodity here and well liked here and he's more comfortable here. i've just seen his performances have been much more even on the stump here in south carolina. and that's part of the reason why he's in his poll position here. >> garrett, good t

that's right, ali. it's so interesting. every one of these events i covered, not just with biden, but health care tends to be the issue that comes up most often after the preeminent of beating donald trump. you could have joe biden in the center flanked on either side by bernie sanders and elizabeth warren who both support a medicare for all program that biden does not. this is sort of a two-pronged attack. he really does believe that the best strategy for democrats is to take the affordable care act and build upon it. and it is another issue on which he aligns himself with former president obama, still a toweringly popular figure among democratic primary voters. it helps him in states like south carolina where he has enormous support among african-american voters. now this is also part of the biden strategy here. they want to talk about health care as an issue. they released an ad earlier this week in iowa, a very personal ad in which the former vice president links his support to building on obamacare to some of the trage

ali velshi picks things up. i'm going for the danish cookies. >> you know the president declared something today. i hereby declare. >> are you declaring i have to get offset? >> i would never declare that. but are you done for the day? >> i'll be happy to take over. i am so done. >> you have an excellent one. >>> it is friday, august the 23rd. and trump's only question is who is our bigger enemy? jay powell or chairman xi? just before that tweet by the way, fed chair jerome powell delivered remarks saying we will act as appropriate to sustain the expansion, the economic expansion, making clear that the economy has continued to perform well overall but pointing out that trade policy uncertainty seems to be playing a role in the global slowdown and in weak manufacturing at capital spending in the united states. among 11 morning tweets he unleashed in a four-hour span, trump also made sure to lay out his issues with china after the country threatened to impose retaliatory tariffs on $75 billion worth of american go

ali vitali is back?hought she's being quiet. >> i am back. >> the rnc raised double the amount of money than the dnc in july. >> i am sorry, our ear piece did not want us to talk to you. you are right, rnc did raise more than the dnc. the senate and the house's arms of both parties, the democrats raise more than republicans. what that looks to me like you look at more work in 2018 where democrats are celebrating their wins specifically on the house side. they're putting their money there and that's where it could make gains. i do think there is such a stress being put on outreach early and investing early and being on the ground and having conversations with people here specifically of the chair who i am speaking to. they're out there early. obviously they know in places like wisconsin and the question was one of the outreach and people not feeling energized or not feeling engaged by democrats. they are clearly trying to reverse and trying to make it work in 2020. >> alli and betsy, we'll contine this co

everyone was welcome at the film premiere including ali ni ali who wouldn't have missed his friend's big day. the screening became a social and cultural event in the desert city. even the mayor of timbuktu was president. thanks a lot for thought this is a decision not double crusade oh boy this film is so important because it was made by young people from timbuktu to look like you don't go deep. that's a great achievement which we value as you see many and with energy shows the life of young people in our city it's a satisfying feeling but i must say and seem to such as folks feel. legendary timbuktu the desert city on the edge of the sahara still hasn't quite found its way the scars of the islamist occupation and the problems of the last years are still visible. the contrast between 10 book to former glory and the present day creates a certain tension. still alimi ali feels hopeful especially when he is drinking tea with his friends on the sand and his thoughts are free to wander. i miss my best to move to what i wished him to move to taba peace. and living together like you used to

bring in our business correspondent in singapore under a hangar andrea what is the region making of ali baba's sudden decision to cancel the hong kong listing. i think that asian markets won't direct were not directly hit by this news because i think the general consensus is that people understand why this landmark listing had to be delayed and they seem pretty optimistic also the ali baba will go through with it eventually infect the c.e.o. of the hong kong stock exchange was quoted as saying last week that he's confident companies will. will come home to hong kong and that they will find a home in hong kong he just didn't know when and he sent this without alluding to ali baba because technically the listing is confidential all right but we wish to talk to a representative of german business in hong kong yesterday and he told us that despite the unrest there it's more or less business as usual but on the bus move just now seems to tell a different story doesn't it. it does and you know what monica ali baba's move to do this is actually a very smart move imagine if they had gone ahead

>> it does not look good, ali.hey cracked open a common system over here you would uds to register your votes. they make little notes along the way, firm ware update, check this out, they figure out the password. admin password is rogue somehow for this device. i don't know how they figure that out. but they did in under two hours. we were talking to a couple people over here building a lockpick set and basically said it's easier to use the key, turn the key and get it in admin mode, which opens up a whole can of worms. the verdict here is not encouraging. these are really vulnerable systemed to even a very smart room of people but these guys all say this is kids' stuff as far as they can tell. >> what motivates these people? these are hackers who decide they want to hack election systems as good guys? what's going on? >> so -- yeah, it's so interesting, ali. it's so interesting to talk to folks here. some won't tell us where they're from or their names. many exist in a world it doesn't pay to be identified, certai

ali? >> mariana, good to see you. and let's go to washington where the department of justice has declined to prosecute former fbi director james comey for leaking memos that detailed his conversations with president trump in 2017. but the office of the inspector general found that comey did violate doj and fbi policies as well as the fbi's employment agreement by keeping copies of four memos in a personal safe and asking a friend to leak one of those memos after his firing. comey tweeted his response to the report writing, i don't need a public apology from those who defame me but a quick message with a sorry we lied about you would be nice. to all those two spent two years talking about me going to jail, ask yourselves why you still trust people who gave you bad information for so long including the president. joining me now nbc's julia ainsley who has read through the report. now if you look at james comey's responses, they don't seem in line with a finding that he did something wrong. he specifically talking about

ali, good evening to you.his bomb attack, we are talking about one of the worst that we have seen in the last few months. what more can you tell us about it? ali: s so, now we are jujust geg sort o of information on who has been affected. we are talking women, we are talking children, wewe are talkg civilians. these were people on their way to work, they were on their way to school, they might have been going to a store. if you look at footage from that areaea, it is g grieving women, it is children. there is footage of stores, i even saw a wedding hall, v very obviouously civilianan-oriented places. and this is really what is becoming a trend. it is not even becoming a trend, it's been the way things have been going.. where p places -- the excxcuse s there was someme kind of securiy forces installation there, that's why we targeted it and we killed x amount of security forces, people in the attack. but what happens again over and over is it is women, children, and civilians paying the price for these sorts of

>> ali, good afternoon to you. so as the investigation moves forward, law enforcement officials are not any closer to finding a motive. however, they are combing through the evidence at the suspect's home which is about 30 minutes away from where we are right now. also they're looking through the evidence that was collected on the ground as well as digital evidence. during the last press briefing there were questions about the sister. we've been reporting all day long that the sister of the gunman was one of the nine victims and the police chief did not elaborate on that connection there. and so she apparently was in the same vehicle as the gunman, they arrived near the scene. they separated and it isn't clear what happened after that. i thought, ali, what was really interesting about this last update was how prepared this gunman was. here's what the police chief had to say. take a listen. >> all of those were completely at full capacity, including the loose rounds found on the ground near him, as well as in the ba

most recent biographical works are blood brothers, the fatal friendship of malcolm x in a mohammed ali and a season in the sun, the rise of mickey mantle. randy, could you tell us a little bit about your interest in this is a genre? >> yes. this fits perfectly for me by the political history and biography in popular culture. i've only seen myself as working at the intersection between political history and political culture and popular culture. so, i write about performers like you and actors, athletes and i've never really been interested in writing a book about an athlete is just an athlete or an actor who is just an act, but somehow they have to engage in a wider political culture, someone like john wayne or mohammed ali, clearly became iconic and you could tell a person's politics, if i talk to somebody about john wayne the attitude on john wayne will usually tell me a great deal about the politics you know, i brought a quote in here to how can i tie these things together? how can i tie politics, political conference with popular culture? so i did find a boxing quote that i wanted

it does and you know what monica ali baba's move to do this is actually a very smart calculated move imagine if they had gone ahead with the listing this month is going to be seen as being giving a big gift to hong kong and that's almost certainly going to annoy b.g. now ali baba could also be waiting for us trading volume to stabilize because they just finished the sale of this 11 percent stake in the top which is a yahoo offshoots now the a lot of analysts are speculating that the new listing could be up as early as october and this is this date is based on the presumption that things will die down by then and analysts say that this date could also be taken as a sign by investors to take a look and come out of hiding and bring back the robust activity to the hong kong markets right andrea hang there reporting from singapore thank you. turning to aviation because airlines have come under criticism here in germany both from consumers and politicians and that is why industry bosses are meeting with chancellor angela merkel today in life germans are increasingly worried about the envir

>> no, democrats have changed, ali.nk what's interesting about some of these results is that when you dig a little deeper you find that democrats that ran election campaigns on a gun safety platform won. and those that didn't in the past of those 67 from 2008 many of them were those that were in the nra's pocket or at least when it came to gun issues were not willing to get out front on this issue. many are not in office anymore. so some of it has been just the shift amongst the democratic representatives in the congress and some of it is that those in congress have been willing, maybe in the past they told us they supported the positions but they were nervous to vote on it. that has changed. you know, the nra's in fighting and greed and corruption that's been so rampant lately as well as the fact that the american people have really been more and more demanding on this issue has really changed democrats' willingness to lead on this. >> let's talk about what those ratings mean. i'm almost as focused on the fact that bet

ali?ns nichols for us in louisville, kentucky. >>> we have just learned that democratic contender andrew yang has officially qualified for the fall debates. here's a look at the nine candidates who have qualified for the debate stage so far. they have met the dnc's donation requirements and hit at least 2% in at least four qualifying polls. julian castro needs one more qualifying poll. tulsi gabbard needs three more polls. andrew yang hit the threshold in this new poll with voters in iowa. joe biden remains at the top of the pack with only elizabeth warren coming within single digits of his lead. and a slough of 2020 democrats are flocking to the battleground state today for the famous iowa state fair. they are going to spend the next few days shaking hands, talking to voters and enjoying a wide variety of fried food. here you can see joe biden being greeted while enjoying some ice cream. but a warning from "the wall street journal." quote, presidential candidates, beware the iowa state fa

>> well, ali, i think trade is one of the problems. automation and artificial intelligence which are going to cost us many, many jobs are another part of the problem. but to answer your question, when we talk about the overall economy, it's more than trade. you have to look at a situation where today you have three people owning more wealth than the bottom half of americans in society. that's not just trade. there is a lot of factors there. you have major corporations not paying a nick until federal income taxes. you have half of the american people working paycheck to paycheck. 87 million americans are either uninsured or underinsured. and tonight some 500,000 americans are going to be sleeping out on the street when 49% of all new england 1%. the bottom line there is trade is one of the issues, not the only one. we need an economy and a government that works for everybody, not just the 1% which is currently the case. >> what does it look like to work for everybody? and i know we'll get to medicare for all in a second, because that's

there's something sick about that, ali. and the more that this keeps happening, the more we need to raise the level of awareness that we need to challenge leadership. democrat and republican, elected and not to come on and stop the nonsense. people are dying two and three mass shootings a week. >> the people get commoditized. that's the problem. there are numbers that we attached to sutherland springs or las vegas or newtown or gilroy or now el paso. there are numbers of dead. they are not people whose stories we know because so many of them get gunned down, mowed down by bullets that their stories don't get told. >> their stories don't get told, then you have people every day in the chicagos of the country being shot down. it does not -- those stories are not told. we then put up the number of dead like we do in a score at a ball game. these are real human beings. the people that went to that mall today in a no-sales tax day went to take their children shopping to go to school. look at your child and say, wait a minute, it

it is president ali bongo fit to govern your country? he is. he's weakened by his stroke.if you saw the images of him at the independence day. mentally he's...| would say, it's actually interesting. the french side of his brain is 100%. he's lost a little bit of his english. so he's totally fluent and with it in french, but his english has suffered slightly. so he's... he's definitely there and he's definitely in charge. so no question for you, he's fit to govern? he's fit to govern, yes. even in the deeper sense of a man who has been accused by, again, many people in his own country and many outside of being part of a kleptocratic regime, going back to his father, who governed for more than a0 years, we know from the french investigation that the family have vast assets stored away abroad, much of it in paris and in france, including a whole fleet of luxury vehicles, the us senate reported on the movement of $100 million in what they regarded as suspect transactions, you're happy to sit in that government? i'm proud, actually, to be a government minister in gabon. i think

ali velshi picks things up from new york. hi there, ali. tossing it back to you. >> thank you, friend. you have a great afternoon, kristen. >>> president trump's pick for director of national intelligence is no longer up for the job. trump tweeting last hour our great republican congressman john ratcliffe is being treated very unfairly by the lamestream media. rather than going through months of slander and libel, i explained to john how miserable it would be for him and his family to deal with these people. john has therefore decided to stay in congress where he's done such an outstanding job representing the people of texas and our country. i will be announcing my nomination for dni shortly. let's get right to the white house. kelly o'donnell is standing by, and we just heard from congressman ratcliffe. kelly, we have learned the white house is now seeking to prevent the principal deputy sue gordon from becoming the acting director. no one better you than you to try and make sense of this for us. >> reporter: who got a lot of attention du

ali? >> thanks very much. vaughn hillyard in las vegas talking with kamala harris. go to mexico city. cal perry has been standing by. he's reporting from the border for a long time. one of the most interesting things about today, if there are any silver linings and there really aren't many today, is the number of people who responded to the call of help, the one thing people can do in an instance like this is to give blood. >> absolutely. and of course the first responders. i just think about the scene inside that walmart. texas is an open carry state. not only can you open carry in texas, you can carry guns in walmart which also sells guns. imagine being a first responder, going into walmart, not a place like new york city, having to detail that scene. and the community really coming together not just those blood drives which we've heard so much about, so many donations that the el paso police department has asked people to stop bringing food and water. they say they have enough. the downside, el paso has found itself in the spotlight when it comes to migration and

ali and i were here in florida, of course andrew in 1992. tell me about the lessons learned here for the community. >> well the lessons are very clear. we understand how to support the city, how to get around the city after the storm is kmetted. obviously we have to prepare the city in advance of the storm. in ourp city we have six fire stations and a new golf course that has staging a seventh location in the city. each station can work independently of each other. if communications are down each station in each area is well defined. and there is fire, police, public works and building departments able to respond within hours of the storm being competed. >> spo everyone is on alert. but we're still a couple days away. tell me about the shelter situation here in palm beach. >> in pauch beam gardens we have one stage at a shelter paup beach gardens high school. we have word from the county that all 15 stations -- 15 shelters around the county are prepared. they haven't quite released details when they'll be open. but they will be opening soon

>> reporter: well, that's the big question, ali. and we've been talking to officials here, and the reality is the president's top aides aren't exactly sure how serious he is about all of this. what we do know is that they have started talking about it. would this even be possible or legal. a question for the white house counsel's office. so all of those are big questions. but i think the bottom line remains greenland is saying thanks but no thanks in a statement from the government they say of course greenland is not for sale. so, at that point you have to consider that it's case closed. but, look, president trump obviously a former real estate developer. so the fact that it has all of those natural resources that you just talked about, the fact that it is of strategic importance is what has clearly caught president trump's eye. it is worth noting that he is going to be in denmark in september, ali. so a chance for him to talk to officials there about a potential sale if he were interested actually in doing that. we have asked offic

we are joined now by feel answer no less ali and latif in kabul afghanistan ali who could be responsible for this attack. at this point it's hard to tell who's responsible for this attack. i received dire still operates and i'm. told on how flat out rejected any responsibility calling it an anus attacks saying that they will be condemned such an attack. but you know i think it's really important that this kind of attack into context because as the video shows you know the fact that the bombers named it so close to the stage means that they made it through the entire crowd of people these wedding halls are giant structures where hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people gather in the tables all around said i'm sharing mainly around the dance floor. and the stage where the performers are so essentially you know the bombers have open access to hundreds of people who have nowhere else to go the other thing that you see in these structures is as big as they are as shocked as they are there's generally only one entrance and one exit. and socially we have to remember that the average on pers

>> ali, good afternoon. this conflict of interest hearing for lori loughlin and her husband mossimo giannulli is expected to take about an hour inside the courtroom. the judge is going to ask them if they object to any potential conflicts of interest. typically in a case like this one each parent would have their own legal counsel. but instead they're being represented by the same defense team presenting a united legal front. their attorneys also represent another family in this case. a judge is going to want to make sure there's no objections, no conflicts of interest with that. as you're aware, the celebrity couple is accused of funneling half a million dollars to william singer, who got their daughters allegedly into usc through a side door at the campus. both parents have pleaded not guilty. later next month also fellow actress felicity huffman will appear in court. she has already pleaded guilty in her case. she could be sentenced to potentially prison time by a judge in september. >> miguel almaguer in

ali? >> all right, shaquille, good to see you as always.ning us now to take a closer look at senator sanders' plan is co-founder of the environmental news website our daily planet. mira, good to see you. thank you for joining you. i want to get into the nitty-gritty because that's what you guys do. you specialize at this stuff. there is a report from "the washington post" on sanders' plan, and it says the high cost of sanders' plan is due in part to eschewing partnerships to hit his goal of 100% renewable energy in the power sector by 2030. instead, sanders wants to establish a new federal electric utility to provide power to northeast and midwestern states while expanding the four existing power administrations that cover most of the rest of the lower 48. i'm intrigued by this only because one of the things we are trying to figure out is something that's going to cost 10 million or 15 trillion or $20 trillion to redo our economy, our carbon-based economy, do we do this hand in hand with business? should government be taking that big a role

ali? >> and you're talking about shenzhen, which is on the chinese side of the border about an hour from hong kong? >> reporter: not even that. it's less than 20 miles, about 17 miles, high-speed highway connecting the two cities. there's a lot of trade that happens back and forth. kids go to school on either side of the border. so there is a lot of traffic that goes back and forth. this sports stadium is apparently close to one of those thorough fares providing easy access to hong kong. >> janis, thank you as always. she is in hong kong for us. >>> coming up with a new law in new york allowing sexual abuse survivors to file suit regardless of when it happened, jeffrey epstein, the boy scouts and others are bracing themselves for a potential barrage of lawsuits. >>> plus, with two weeks to go to qualify for next month's democratic debate, montana governor steve bullock is scrambling to make the cut. he joins me later this hour. you are watching msnbc. if i call out with a migraine, that's

ali knows it more than anything. the market likes stability, a plan, understand what's going on and right now there's absolutely nothing of that. nobody knows what he will do at the g7, very important meeting where our allies said we won't even try to do a communique because we don't know what this president will do and he's upending the markets with tweets and talking about things that demonstrate his lack of understanding or caring how things work. i think this is something that can be different than all of these other things if the economy takes a dive. >> my favorite philosopher was yogi berra, prediction is difficult, especially about the future. nonetheless we're headed into the g7 -- what's the word i can say without using a profanity. it's going to be a blank show, let's put it that way. the markets come roll back in monday morning having watched the president sow mow chaos and dissent and discourse and we don't have a communique and all of that plays out over the g7. the markets wam wake up monday morning an

>> thanks, ali, it's good to be back with you.riple whammy, if you will, of human influence, the drying change and dry, drying and warming of climate change is creating the frequency for wildfires in places like the amazon. combined with that you have policies right now that encourage deforestation for development, for agriculture livestock. so at the same time this deforestation and these wildfires are putting carbon, as you say, back into the atmosphere. the amazon is supposed to be a carbon sink, it's supposed to be helping us with climate change by taking carbon out of the atmosphere. instead we're turning it into a source, which means we're accelerating the buildup of these greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, worsening climate change as a result of that. >> and this is to some degree, look, some of it is dry area. some of it they're saying people are taking some of the land being illegally logged and they're clearing it with these fires, but the bottom line is there's an administration in brazil, not dissimilar to an administ

. >> ali and steph. >> the president referred to himself as "the chosen one to take on china." dissect for us. president obama was working with 11 other countries in the trans pacific partnership to take on china and their bad trade practices. the president tore it up and led with the trade war. is the trade war working in terms of him being the chosen one to do this? >> no. it is not working. what happens is that as you point out, the president began the administration by giving away a core aspect of american leverage and that's cooperation with allies. not only getting out of the trans pacific partnership, he slap tariffs on our allies, in europe and canada and mexico. that's not the way to go in china. what we have is the impulsive back and forth where the president one moment wants to look tough and vindicate his claims in the campaign that he was going to bring china to heal and the other portray himself as a pro-business deal maker who's good friends with president xi and he likes me and i like him and therefore we can make a deal. that's not how international negotiation

ali vitale from out in sioux city. we haven't seen or heard much of joe biden in the last week. what's his plan after last week saw a couple of missteps for the campaign. >> reporter: yeah, hallie, biden was on vacation, then raising money. today we will be back spending some of that money, coming back for his sixth trip since announcing his campaign, and going up with his first ad six-figure. it does a couple of things. fundamentally goes to his main points of this campaign, talking about donald trump front and center. it includes his service in the obama administration. and it does something you don't typically see in campaign ads, at least at this stage of the game. showing polls showing him beating donald trump. talking about strength, him as the one person who could beat donald trump. democratic primary voters seem to be leaning into that. a new cnn poll is out showing biden with one of his biggest leads in the national poll we have seen up 14 points on bernie sanders and gaining from the last time that cnn survey was in the field. that dove tails what we have seen in iowa.
