joining us this hour, "washington post" senior national political correspondent ashley parker.er acting solicitor general of the united states, now a law professor at georgetown university and former rnc chairman michael steele, a man who, i mean, in this chair, last week, i mean, has anybody ever done it better? i mean, other than nicole wallace? nobody's done it better. >> just following your lead, brother. >> michael steele, i need you to come up here and sit with me to teach me how it's done. but i'm going to start with ashley parker anyway because you're the one who is out there in the world covering politics, and i am, as you know, i have historic ancestors in wisconsin. i care about what happens in that state. it's a really important state in terms of understanding who's going to be the next president of the united states. tell us what's going on there relative to the big lie if and how it is playing out. we've done a little survey of it here in that script read but i'm curious what your impression is about what the state of play on those issues heading into the primarie

joining me now michael steel, ashley parker and dave watson. ccomplishments include the chips, the semiconductor bill, bipartisan gun legislation, covid-19 relief. they still have a very unpopular president in a midterm year and midterms are historically bad for the incumbents. they have a very thin margin in the house and no margin at all in the senate. what do you see as their rene ed chances perhaps because of the abortion vote in kansas and this, a better record of achievement? >> that's correct. it's a fantastic list of recent achievements for this president, especially when you take into account it was done with a 50/50 senate and an incredibly narrow margin in the house. president biden was asked just this morning if he thinks this will help in the midterms and he says yes, he absolutely thinks it will. he also acknowledged the reality that some of this stuff that has recently been passed will take a little while to kick in. you may not see results before the midterms. the just in talking to people inside the white house and other democra

ashley parker, senior correspondent at the "washington post," and an msnbc political analyst, ashley, as you know, has been reporting on donald trump since his first campaign all the way back in 2015. and an dry wiceman, a fellow mueller prosecutor in the ties to russia, and an msnbc legal analyst. everybody, thank you. andrew, i want to start with you since you are the expert here. you've had about a day to digest this. i want to set expectations. what can we say about this search as of right now? >> i think there are a few things that we do know. first, a federal judge clearly found that there was probable cause of a crime and there would be probable cause that the evidence of that crime would be at mar-a-lago. those are the prerequisites for a search warrant. second, i think it is fair to assume that merrick garland asked people within the justice department, why do you need to do this by a search warrant? why can't we issue a subpoena? there are two different ways to get documents. one is to issue a grand jury subpoena and have the person who receives that grand jury subpoena coll

attorney paul charlton, phil rucker and ashley parker., within the footnotes of the filing, there's a note the investigation is not simply about efforts to recover improperly retained presidential records. where do we stand at this hour? >> that is the sum total, the most impactful information we got from this filing is that this isn't just an investigation about classified documents, miss handling of secrets. this is about lies, deceit and potential obstruction of justice. that's what this filing makes clear. we didn't have to about here. if they will given classified documents back, none of this would have happened. now we see from the justice department that they believe they were lied to. a lawyer signed a document. they don't suggest where that lawyer got the information or whether they think it was donald trump who lied or the lawyer who lied. the lawyer signed a document saying as of june when they served a grand jury subpoena and went down there, that the trump side turned over all classified documents that were at mar-a-lago. the

joining us now, white house bureau chief, ashley parker. nts long before the fbi search of his florida home. ashley, i want to point to the stupid reaction by some republicans. kevin mccarthy sending out -- i think it was a tweet or a statement telling everybody involved to secure their documents because there will be hearings and throwing threats out. i have seen enough, the doj has reached an intolerable state of weaponized poe lit politicalization. i'm looking at your articles over the past many months of the boxes of documents that donald trump took out of the white house and brought to mar-a-lago. what do you make of the fbi stepping in to get some of these documents? they must have felt that there was no other way. >> that's right. this is an issue that "the washington post" has been covering for months. it has been a drip, drip, drip of revelations that former president trump, he left white house, unsurprisingly, in an incredibly chaotic fashion. sort of things were getting boxed up and thrown together and brought down to mar-a-lago.

dan: dan ashley, abc 7 news. reggie: parker elementary is one of seven schools planned to close. four others are set to merge. oakland police were called to the school, and it is unclear if anyone was arrested. >> in berkeley the housing construction project earlier this week is now on hold. the university suspended work in the wake of that protest. it resulted in seven arrests. two officers were hurt and some equipment was vandalized. cal says it will assess the situation and decide when to restart construction. the project includes housing for 1100 students and 100 25 people currently experiencing homelessness. the university says the existing park, bordered by hayes street and white way, will be revitalized. reggie: new developments in this week's deadly shooting on a muni bus. this was targeted. one person was killed, another heard from that shooting in the sunnydale neighborhood. transit officials have shared security video with police as well as cameras on nearby streets. still, no word on a suspect. there will be hiring 20 transit ambassadors to monitor city trains and bus
