for many people it's leaving much to be desired. >> here's the poll that ashley parker described.te from the book is what if we have a real crisis like 9/11 with the way he makes decisions. john bolton recounts that's something john kelly said to him. john kelly recently co-signed a stinging rebuke of donald trump from former secretary of defense jim mattis in way he compares donald trump's leadership to that of the nazis, his penchant for dividing people and describes the history of the american military of doing the opposite. ashley, i'll ask this question, what makes grown men like jim mattis and john bolton stay quiet while they're seeing something so egregious? >> you have to take each person individually. some, as i said, is that courage in this white house is not in tremendous supply. take someone like gary cohen who claimed publicly to be outraged over the president's handling of charlottesville. is that what prompted him to resign? no. it was a disagreement over trade and the economic policy. that's some people. there are other people who will say i stayed there because i

. >> joining me, vaughn hillyard, ashley parker and kristen welker. kristen, let's talk about the president lashing out about the protest and his campaign, including the pandemic. >> reporter: that's right. the president is digging in, andrea, not on on his law and order messaging, but essentially the desire to turn the page, to restart campaigning. he is going to be in tulsa next friday. he was pressed there by fox news about the decision to hold it on juneteenth, this day that means so much not only the african-american community but within the united states history. you heard the president there say think of it as a celebration. now, it's our understanding he is going to address the significance of juneteenth, of course marking the day that slaves were freed in this country. it will be interesting to see what specifically he has to say. typically trump rallies are predominantly not minority communities and so what will his message there be? we'll have to see. but this is a president who is not afraid to engage in the culture wars, andrea, and he's

ashley parker, i have something for you too. marketing phrases and how they have changed over time from the guy who sees himself as the brand manager. >> we're going to make america great again. remember the theme, make america great again. make america great again wouldn't work out too well, right? it's going to be keep america great. it's called keep america great, exclamation point. ladies and gentlemen of south carolina, the best is yet to come. sleepy joe biden. that's the slogan we're going to use, transition to greatness. it's a transition to greatness, and greatness is next year. i am your president of law and order. >> so i gave you a couple examples there, ashley. no one can complain at lack of variety. how are they feeling in real time, in real terms, about the re-election? >> well, transition to greatness and the septuagenarian protester really had it coming just don't have quite the same ring. and that's a reflection of the fact that this is a president who even though he didn't always rely, he cared a lot about pol

eddie glaude, from princeton and ashley parker, white house reporter and msnbc contributors.n to this conversation we're having about the two new monuments in the nation's capital? >> i think whenever there's a transformation of any society there's a change in the built environment. think about when the wall fell in berlin, think when the soviet union collapsed. one of the first things you see happening is in some ways an attack on the iconography of the past regime. we need to re-assess beginning of a change in a certain sensibility. that would be black lives matter on the street leading to the people's house, also we saw protests, people, shall we say, attacking monuments of robert e. lee and, you know, old slave auction blocks and -- there's a sense in which there's an attempt to impact the built environment of the united states that actually represents the very thing that folks are arguing against. >> and ashley parker, a stunning piece of reporting that at these monuments are going up right outside the gates of the white house, a different kind of monument a fence, going

wesley lowery, andrea mitchl and ashley parker, white house reporter for the "washington post" and jake sherman, senior writer for politico. you have one a a applies. you wrote, what if the activists are write and dismantle criminal justice,hat might that look like. west w emp s, what are the black lives movement seeking? wesley: it is interesting. here we are again and seeing this every fewonths for the last few years. another taste that shocks the country unless there is gray area inub terms of thecar a. and one of the reasons we have en in broad response is because a lot of people are tired of this and tired of dealinghis again. the activists. the a leaders organizers have always argued there are wig systemic pblems and not body camerahe but whole system is broken. one of the reasons we are seeing such and the arica cap public is pleesk it. and the electorate says perhaps this isn't bad nents b there is something more structural and we are seeing a significant shift for the americaneoe on these issues and more in hine where the activists are. robert: when we hear the phrase defund th

lena wen is back, ashley parker and eugene robinson. eugene, i'm going to start with you.- nothing is behind the curtain. he's now running on the restoration of confederate monuments and history for some inexplicable rationale and spreading the plague. the polls would speak for himself. is it too late? is this a nose dive or can he still recalibrate? >> well, nicolle, if this isn't a nose dive, it will do until the nose dive arrives. not just "the new york times" poll, but every poll in the luka sabb last couple weeks show president trump's poll numbers heading south. they'll surely bottom out at some point because he has a solid, loyal, fanatical base. that's not nearly enough to win an election. if it gets down to that point and that's where he's rapidly heading at his 35% or whatever it is of the electorate that's going to follow him anywhere, even on these terribly fraught issues of race and covid where he's on the wrong side on both issues. if he gets down there, then he takes the rest of the party with him. it's amazing to me that these republican senators who are in

jonathan lamarre and ashley parker are back with me. 's talk about this tweet for a second, which was put up this morning and then deleted when the president was off playing golf. now of course, the explanation well, he didn't hear that part. he just saw the enthusiasm and this seems to be part of a pattern where the president says something that's clearly problematic and says i was focused on something else. is there an acknowledgement this kind of thing is doing more damage right now than good to his campaign? >> it's absolutely doing more damage than good to his campaign. the president among voters does not get the benefit of the doubt anymore in part because this is a president who has said racist things. and you'll notice the tweet was deleted and the white house put out a statement saying the president didn't hear it. they didn't say that the president condemns it. they didn't say that the president would never use that language and urges his supporters not to use that language. they didn't take any strong stance against a white su

i'm joined by ashley parker and with white house effectively a fortress some see trump's strength ande weakness. it struck me, ashley, whether the president stopped what he was doing to read that equal justice under law segment today in and a few other things that they are reading the same polling we are and are aware in the white house that the response thus far has not been well received friday tby the pu. is that a fair assessment? >> yes and no. in the white house and in the campaign, everyone is deeply aware of the polling. because that is the key thing that trump cares about. but just take the incident monday night where the president wanted to stage the photo op at saint john's church and the police and authorities used force to clear peaceful protesters. you might be surprised to learn this but opinion inside of the white house in trump's orbit is divided on that. some people thought it was a good idea. and that at the end of the day if this unrest does come down, that the president will get credit for protecting the safety and security of the nation and that people will blame

ashley parker, what about the is tension between esther aabout e white house? the president was so angry he was threatening to fire his defense secretary five months before elected and was talked out of 2. what is the temperature taking of the mood in the white house now? >> there's incredible tension there. you saw kayleigh mcenany after esper made the comments come out and ask if the president still had confidence in him. normally if there's a president who lost confidence in a leader, they claim there's still confidence until that person was fired but she wouldn't even go that far. it sort of felt like she was sitting the stage for esper to be fired any day now by tweet. you saw him in an incredibly difficult situation, because he came out and was clearly uncomfortable. he was not the only one but clearly uncomfortable with what had happened at the photo-op at st. john's church. that's why it seemed he went and spoke exclusively to nbc news and said, look, i didn't even know where we were going. i thought we were going to inspect a bathroom at lafayette park

and for more, i'm joined by ashley parker, white house reporter for "the washington post." edwards, former maryland democratic congresswoman. and carlos curbelo, former florida congressman. thank you all for joining us. ashley, we bring up your reporting. right there, this tweet got a lot of attention. if anybody was on social media yesterday, they probably saw it. take us through what was happening inside the white house when they saw it. >> sure. so the tweet posted around 7:40 a.m. sunday morning, and as soon as it posted, the president's advisers began reacting because they realized they had a problem. the tweet basically went viral. it was condemned as racist, and so they started calling one another, and they finally got in touch with president trump. white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany called the president. jared kushner, his son-in-law, spoke with him, and they all conveyed their concerns about the tweet. the president, they said, claimed that he watched the video but did not hear the shout of "white power." but that the thing that swayed was when aides showe
