ashley parker is back with me with jonathan swan. let me start with you on this reporting.especially with the election looming, grappling with just what kind of an impact president trump has had on our relationships with our allies but also the world at large and whether, you know, depending on your protective, whether the damage he's done is reputable. >> i think people inside his presidency and critics would argue he has had a formidable role in terms of our perception in the world and our relationship with allies but something is changing and the president's comments where he offered no evidence which were out of lock stepped with everyone in the world what happened in lebanon are an example how this is changing. early on in the administration, i can remember getting calls from diplomats trying to understand the president tweeted what does it mean? when the president went to nato the first time and declared obsolete, allies were besides themselves in panic and within the world, people have understood that the president will just say stuff and there is often not a lot of

ashley parker, alexi, david, thank you all for helping us get started here. going to be -- good to have the campaign front and center for a little while. >>> the blame game continues. nancy pelosi says the democrats and republicans are miles apart on negotiations. we'll be live on capitol hill after the break. and what voters in battleground states are saying about joe biden's historic pick for vice president. you're watching msnbc. oric picke president. you're watching msnbc. thousands of women with metastatic breast cancer, which is breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, are living in the moment and taking ibrance. ibrance with an aromatase inhibitor is for postmenopausal women or for men with hr+/her2- metastatic breast cancer, as the first hormonal based therapy. ibrance plus letrozole significantly delayed disease progression versus letrozole, and shrank tumors in over half of patients. patients taking ibrance can develop low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infections that can lead to death. ibrance may cause severe in

. >> here for leadoff discussion on wednesday night, ashley parker, pulitzer prize winning reporter for "washington post." robert costa, reporter also with the post and moderator on pbs. and former fbi assistant director for counter intelligence. welcome to you all. ashley, the president is back to telling us it will simply go away. seemingly more he says it, more it's dismissed/less attention it gets. similarly he remains only industrialized leader continuing to float out the theory it may have been a bomb attack in beirut to very little attention given what he's putting out there. what does it say about not the presidency but this president's role in american life right now, if anything? >> that's exactly right, this president on a range of issues, you just laid out some is increasingly becoming a nonentity. says stuff, tweets stuff, does stuff and world in some cases responds with a collective shrug. compare that to three years ago, every tweet was parsed by diplomats scrambling to figure out what it meant. that's the president saying with no evidence that beirut was a bomb or attack

. >>> joining us now from pennsylvania is kelly o'donnell and ashley parker. kelly, let me begin with you. bannon was taken into custody while aboard a yacht off the coast of connecticut. how much is trump trying to distance himself from bannon and do we know if this initiative had trump's blessing? >> reporter: it's interesting because the president uses the same formula, ayman, when he's talking about an associate he knows who is in trouble, referring to it as sad, distancing himself saying bannon worked in the administration at the very beginning. he was the senior strategist. he had been the chief operating officer of the campaign. these were certainly big roles in president trump's campaign and white house world. there has been some period of separation. the president did not say some things that he could have in this instance. this is a scheme as alleged by prosecutors to take money from people who are arguably donald trump's base and supporters who believe like he does in the building of a wall and misuse that money for personal expenses and their perso

with us from the wash post, ashley parker.enior opinion writer for "boston globe" kimberly atkins and former assistant director for counter intelligence at the fbi and author of "the fbi way". frank, i have to start with you, let's dive right in. they find donald trump's former campaign manager was a quote, grave counter intelligence threat. i know we shouldn't be surprised but still shocking he was found by a republican committee to be a quote grave counter intelligence threat. explain. >> we'll have frank shortly. this is the times in which we live. relying on zoom and face time. ashley parker. take me through what in here stood out to you? i read the post and times reporting on this as everyone's digesting the thousand pages. but i pulled that out to start with because this description of paul manafort as a quote grave counter intelligence threat is new. >> yeah, a number of things stood out to me, one was just the sheer number of contact between people in the trump campaign and people russian intelligence or in russia or w

that being said, you know, as our colleague, ashley parker scooped, kellyanne is in talks with the campaign and while she said in the interview that she's not going to be consistently traveling, she likely will be advising the campaign in some capacity. >> all right, "washington post's" jacqueline alemany, thank you, jackie. stay close. i'll talk to you again in just a little bit. >>> still ahead, everybody, a new lawsuit seeking to block an executive order by the president blocking a popular chinese messaging app. >>> and later, house lawmakers pass a $25 billion emergency funding bill for the u.s. postal service, but how will it do in the senate? those stories and a check on your weather, when we come back. n your weather, when we come back.

hey, sam, we talked about this with ashley parker on last night's broadcast. is this something of a brand change for the president from dealmaker to more of observer slash heckler? in the last 24 hours, we've been reassured it's going to go away. he's out there with his theory that beirut was an attack. people kind of just kind of dismissed it, and for most of america, this was surviving on a thursday during a pandemic. >> yeah. i don't know if it's a brand change, brian, so much as this is the brand. sometimes he deviates, but the president likes to paint optimistic pictures about virtually everything around him. he believes in positive thinking. i think he admitted as much in one of these recent interviews. and he also riffs. he's known to riff about matters of, you know, great intelligence import but also small matters. he makes things up, and when he gets called on it, he moves on to the next topic. i'm not sure this is terribly off script for him. it does create a remarkable sense of confusion for the public and leaves a lot of messes for his staff to cle

"new york times" political reporter and white house reporter ashley parker.o governor mike dewine, one of the earliest republican governors to walk the walk with wearing a mask, canceling large gatherings and locking down his state, tested positive because he was supposed to meet with donald trump. i know a lot of reporters have access to same-day tests because they're in proximity to donald trump. can you talk about the divide in america between those who have access to same day tests and the rest of us? >> that's right. what you're seeing in the president's orbit is a microcosm of why widespread testing is to important. if you look at the last week, how many people who were asymptomatic or didn't know they had coronavirus found out they had it simply because they had to get tested before seeing the president. governor dewine, congressman lou lou louis gommert. how many other people are walking around asymptomatic? because there's no widespread testing, the testing the president gets and the people in his orbit, doesn't exist in the rest of the country. the

strategist, basel smikle, elise jordan, and current white house reporter for "the washington post," ashley parker. no doubt, there are people who are excited to meet donald trump and take selfies with him. but this is the quintessential joe biden story, right? he's on his way to the "new york times" ed board, he forges this deep bond in the elevator on the way to his meeting, and i think the point is, you go through joe biden's career and there are jacquelines around every corner. my question for you is, is the trump campaign trying to match that? >> well, we don't know the full convention schedule and list of speakers of the rnc yet, but from what we know and the names that have been announced in terms of sort of quote/unquote ordinary people, a lot of them are people who match the president's model of grievance. there's the st. louis couple, who got in a fight with a black lives matter protester who was passing by their house. there's the covington student. and so, you have people who are not sort of emblematic of the way that president trump has touched their lives, and it's worth mentioning f

and i didn't see too much made of it because as ashley parker has said, there is such a diminishmentis taken but around the world he's still president of this country saying that he may not accept the results of the next election. >> it is appalling and it is appalling to see an american president becoming the greatest threat to american democracy that american democracy has ever faced or at least since the second day of the battle of gettysburg and the confederates were moving forward. at the end of the day, as the democratic national convention convenes, we have one democratic party in this country and we have one autocratic party in this country. we have one of our great political parties has become unmored from the concept and tradition of american democracy from the small liberal democratic ideal, from the ideas of small republicanism, this is a tragic hour. we have a president overtly trying to suppress the votes of americans. making it difficult to vote. and hampering with the post office. first post master general of the country was dr. benjamin franklin. he understood that f
