ari, welcome. [applause] ari: thanks so much, deborah. hi, everybody. thank you for coming out and braving the heat. thank you for welcoming a manhattanite to brooklyn. usually, it is opposite these days, but i am one of the last of the dying breed. i was getting a tour before i came up here of this building. stephen was telling me that this building was built in the 1880's. i was thinking about what was going on in the 1880's as it pertains to voting rights. and the fact is, a lot of people in this room would not have been able to vote at that point in time. african americans couldn't vote. latinos can vote. native americans couldn't vote. .omen could not vote durin the right to vote was very narrowly restrict it, largely to white, male, private property owners. it is interesting, but he think you think of history, you also think of the other side of american history, which is kind of how i came to this subject matter. honestly, for me, the right to vote was something that i do not think a whole lot about for most of my life. i didn't grow up in the se

ari: that is a good question. what do judges think, who pass these kind of laws, who uphold these kind of laws? i think it is twofold. i think some of them are carrying out the agenda of the party that nominated them. it is very clear that some of them are doing the bidding and they realize it will benefit some people more than others. i think at the same time, they have developed an elaborate ideology to justify discrimination without seeming discriminatory. what you begin to see in the 1970's, something that was really embraced by john roberts in the 1980's, was his idea of colorblindness. yeah, discrimination was bad, but you know what, so was busing, affirmative action, districts that help african-americans get elected. we are against discrimination, but we don't want color to be considered at all. that was very communicative, it sounded great. of course, who wants to consider color if you don't have to? the problem was, they were making this argument at a time when there was a huge disparity between races whe

ari is correct. would think a trump's group that cnn with at least rupee a pro trump scoop. the problem as gregg ari said,r big stories are always anti-trump stories. it means 1 of 2 things. either cnn is full of suckers or they are lying. i don't know which one it is. for them not to retract the story, sean, is absolutely absurd . ari is right. the source for the story is the lawyer ofry the guy, michael cohen! who could the other source possibly be? >> sean: the testimonies coming out, ari. we are all going to see -- we all knowno that he denied it vehemently these things and he did it in other publications. you know, i think -- i'll be very charitable to lanny, i've known them for years. i think he is just blinded. any time clinton is involved, he's blind. speak it with one thing for landa, a spokesman, clinton spokesman, want to -- as another for journalists to allow blind people to get on the air to speak and not deal with it when they make a mistake. but myself and cnn issues. the only thing i

he sat down with our own ari melber who joins me now. ari? >> hi, ali. thank you so much.me from meeting with steve bannon and doing this interview, his first ever msnbc interview. we spoke about a lot including his support for roy moore, his new group working on the mid terms, charlottesville, civil rights issues, the economy, a whole range of subjects and also the mueller probe where he has served he said as a fact witness to both collusion and obstruction parts of the probe. he is also worried and the reason he said he he's speending so much money now, he's worried some republicans are complacent about how well democrats could do in the mid terms. take a look. >> this is an up or down vote on president trump. this election is going to come on a referendum on him. he permeates the entire political culture. i think those that are around him are telling him that, hey, it's okay to lose the house. you can work with the democrats and you can run against a democratic house in 2020. it's bad advice. >> that bad advice, he says, is why he needs to get involved. he said donald t

. >> ari, what we talk about almost every week on this show is that there is -- there seems to be no bottom to this particular presidency. and so we know that trump really does traffic in branding. he's using the term witch hunt. he's using the term rigged. he has the red hats. it's been his shtick. and so now we see when he's interacting with even adversaries, his framework is even, well, i'm helping to make them famous. so, you know, i don't understand what the problem is. we saw this with gold star families how he talks about everything with this idea of winners and losers. i feel like i'm sounding like a broken record with you, is that where are the separation of powers, where are the republican members of congress who are saying our president is overstepping in a very dangerous, unethical territory, but we actually need to speak out? it shouldn't just be former cia directors. it should be ags across the country. it should be republicans, powerful republicans, we're getting these milquetoast responses from republican senators saying, well, i mean, it's not ideal, that's not enoug

>> no, not at all, ari. i think the support in los angeles has obviously been good. my hat more on the support i received in iowa, two trips to that state, ohio, two trips there, florida, new hampshire, pennsylvania, i've been very flattered and humbled by the outpouring of support and enthusiasm for my potential candidacy. i haven't decided what to do yet. in the event donald trump is still in office in 2020, the democrats better nominate a fighter to engage in a brutal cage match because we have a lot at stapling in this country. >> i know you can handle the tough questions. what do you say to critics who hear you talk about iowa, do you just want to be on tv to run for president or are you going to run for president to stay on tv? >> my tv appearances have nothing to do with a potential run for the presidency. if you look at last week's developments in the michael cohen's case, it's tough to argue with the approach we utilized the last five or six months. i think it worked incredibly well and a lot of critics appear to have disappeared since the plea agreement wit

nice to see you. >> nice to see you, ari. >> you are young, if i may say so. >> thank you. i appreciate it. >> you look at this situation, tom steyer wants young people to run, michael avenatti may be laughed at by some and cheered on by others, certainly untraditional. how much of the platform has to be bigger than anti-trump? >> let's take a step back. when we talk about young people that means something different to everyone, tom steyer is going after millennials, born in 1982 to 2000s. when we talk about this as voters, people magus running around this backpacks like children, we're starting families, we want to buy homes, many are saddled with student loan debt. those are no longer youth issues, they're basic middle class american issues. >> not just a backpack, maybe a stylish fanny pack. >> a fanny if you want to. this is the largest, most diverse generation in american history. the power as a voting block is immense. the challenges, this is a largely transient group so you not only have to register people, you have to reregister people. but steyer's people believe t

let's start with you, ari. it is amazing. chuck todd was out there today saying this could be like 50 seats for the democrats in the house. i have no idea what's going to happen, but that's quite a leap from the events of last night. >> i think there are two things we know. nine special elections, eight of them the democrats fell short. eight brides who didn't quite make it to the altar. but there is a fact and you have to be realistic as a republican, the voter turnout is high on the democratic side. in ohio, just looking at the numbers, previous presidential year, 2016, the democrat who ran got 112,000 votes. last night the democratic candidate danny o'connor got 100,000. 90% of the previous presidential turnout showed up in the special. on the republican side, only 40% showed up in the special. the democrats have a lot of voter enthusiasm that is turning out against donald trump, and that's a fact. >> laura: dug, another story of course, the socialists were pretty much rejected in the midwest. ocasio-cortez, she thought sh

. >>> hi, i'm ari melber in for rachel who has the rachel. we're reporting several big stories right now including a financial turning point in the trial of paul manafort. mueller's prosecutors brought out manafort's own bookkeeper who told the jury he kept his foreign bank cans secret from her. that could be crucial to the case because it goes toward the criminal intent prosecutors allege he had throughout the tricky traxes. we have legal experts who were there inside the courtroom to explain tonight. there's also a breaking news story how an alleged russian spy burrowed inside the u.s. embassy in moscow. we have both of those developing stories tonight. we begin with some new flares coming from donald trump's own national security aides about the risks that continue to be posed from president trump's one-on-one meeting with putin in helsinki three weeks ago. according to experts across the spectrum, it marked a low point in a presidency with many low points that relate to russia. experts inside trump's own administration also say this is a

and the big picture here, ari, is that we keep learning new things. things that we didn't know a week ago, six months ago. so on all of these investigations involving michael cohen, trump/russia, and of course the nra investigation. but it was, as you noted, it was very puzzling when the nra went through this leadership change. i remember getting the press release and it was weirdly put. oliver north is poised to become nra president. not that he's been chosen nra president, but he's poised to become nra president. and as he put it, it was "news to me." and no one could really explain how this very hierarchical organization, that had very strict rules of succession in terms of its leadership would all of a sudden pluck a guy out who didn't see it coming and make him president of the nra when he wasn't prepared to be. and then only recently with the butina case, did we learn about this fbi raid. and remember, her partner, romantically and politically, was a guy named paul erickson, who was an nra activist. and he had been working with her to infiltrate

ari, great job with this. what is your sense of the audience he had in mind.of the normal ecosystem here and issuing a dire warning to republicans. who is he trying to reach? >> it's clear that he wants to go beyond the usual ecochamber and as we noted, it was the first msnbc interview and not for lack of outreach. we cover administrations and white house advisers in both parties. he wants to step out beyond whatever the normal conservative space he perceives may exist and talk to a wider community. number two, i can't rule out the idea that is a war he is seeking in the mid-terms that he thought there was a benefit. i say that with respect. the back and forth we had reflected basically hashing some of these issues out. i pressed him on charlottesville and the populist agenda with regard to infrastructure and with regard to the middle class being left out of 80% of the tax cuts. he wanted to be at least with the environment and reach different people. >> what is your sense too of the state of the relationship with trump? did you get a sense that this is a guy

joining us is the anchor of "the beat," ari melber.y wanted you to come on this show, because i am thinking when this guy bannon was first out there, it was just awful. he seemed too far right. around the edges were things that were attractive to people. there were things like, no more stupid wars. we are going to rebuild this country. we are going to rebuild stuff here. i don't see that. i see a guy saber rattling in trump. i see a guy who is arguing with omarosa and all these stupid fights. i don't see a guy pursuing rebuilding the country, and staying out of stupid wars. has this guy lost his influence? >> he is out. he is on the outs and trying to claw his way back in. some of the things that we talk about in this interview that is airing later, how do you say that donald trump is for the working class when 83% of the tax cut benefits go to the top 1%? >> what does he say? >> and how do you deal with an infrastructure that said was going to passed. how do you deal with wall street when you don't take them on. >> let's take a look.

>> yeah, but i don't think it's aggression, ari. think mueller is like a boxer who keeps cutting off the ring on trump. you're right to bring up the bertherism thing. his political career was built on that lie. and then he's been going on and on. and we can call it on him all we want. but there's enough suckers out there who would believe this president if he told them water wasn't wet. he tocontinually says the medias the enemy of the people. you know what happens, you get goon squads like in florida last night. >> trump's supporters according to a new poll say they actually rely on him, 91% rely on trump more than any other source for accuracy. >> yeah. i mean, you look at the volume of lies. the old nixon the 90s, fall on every play because they're not going to call all of it. he just thinks if he drowns you in lies that you will spend all of your time trying to tell people the truth. and what happens is this presidency goes along is that the assault on truth becomes as profound as the assault on civility, the assault on good gra

i do not. >> laura: while, ari, i'll let you close it out.n, and 2004, he joked about -- eb number two to john kerry on the ticket, and republicans went crazy. he was kind of joking. but the media loves it when a republican praising obama, praising clinton come with love that. but when a republican is a hard-line conservative on issue after issue, that is when they unload. so mccain is obviously in death, a war hero, getting into an amazing send-off, i think that's fantastic. but trump is not going to be a phony here. he's not going to pretend that he and mccain were buddy-buddy. they were not. trump was tough on him and i wouldn't have said what he said about the p.o.w. thing but you got to say both of them are kind of honest in the end. >> the other part of this that bothers me when you talk about the press coverage is, don't forget in 2008, there were reporters at "the huffington post," columnist that wrote that mccain was a racist. we heard that throughout the 2008 campaign. this is not about donald trump, as much as i think that the flag

california—based company aries have come up with one alternative.o store and then discharge power when we need it? one of the most efficient ways to move mass known to man, which people have spent billions of dollars to perfect, are railroads. right? 150 years of experience, incredibly efficient, steel wheels on steel rails are one of the most efficient ways to move mass. dubbed ‘the gravity train', energy is stored using electricity to push its weight uphill. when you want to take the energy out, you let gravity pull the train back down, using the friction of braking to slow the train in order to make power. it's the same way hybrid electric cars like the prius work. you see those wind turbines there behind me? they're completely still, even though there is clearly plenty of wind right now. it's not because they're broken, it's because there's no more room to store the energy they would create. and that's the problem the gravity train will solve. when you're into excess energy production, use it to power the train up a hill, and when you want the e
