to be fair, yes, the president has pushed back against reports that he is unhappy with parscale. bradis very close to jared kushner, so he's got some protection there within the west wing. but the reports are true. we wrote on this, as well. the president snapped at parscale a few weeks ago during the presentation, when parscaade president acknowledged, "mahey, you're losing this race right now." that meeting, they also tried to get him to stop the daily press briefings. what is true, the president has complained to people close to him that parscale, for two years now, was bragging to him he was assembling this death star like campaign. raising a lot of money. that's true. creating a big digital operation. that's true, as well. but was sort of an invincible force right now. there was no way he could lose. the democrats, joe biden, would be outgunned. that, of course, has not turned out that way. the pandemic is not brad parscale's fault. but the president has been se e seething that his team wasn't ready for this. they weren't ready for the unknown. they weren't ready to adapt on the

>> announcer: meet brad parscale. brad is getting rich. how rich? really rich. but don't tell don't. he would wonder how brad can afford so much. a $2.4 million waterfront house in ft. lauderdale. two it florida condos worth almost a million each. he even has he own yacht, a gorgeous ferrari, a sleek range rover. brad brags about using private jets. oh, my, brad is a star, and why not? brad's worth every dollar. just ask him. >>> good morning, well cub back to "am joy." the group of republicans turned trump critics called the lincoln project is back, after the previous ad drew an angry twitter diatribe, but this time they turned their sights on the grifters in trump's orbit, namely the trump campaign manager whose br rose to the to. according to "new york times," parscale said he makes between $700,000 to $800,000 for his campaign work. compares son, obama's campaign manager made much less than that. until the end of march of this year, he raked in roughly $40 million through thinks ties to a number of dark money organizations and pro-touch super pacs. some of t

with the trump campaign who has put a digital emphasis on our campaign by virtue of tapping bra brad parscaleo be campaign manager. joe biden's campaign has been criticized previously for really running this antiquated, old-fashioned campaign to have to modernize to a new era of campaigning. see when it's a little weird though, because the democratic party if the party of silicon valley and hollywood, ty have always been very good at advertising and coming up with slick, tech based information campaigns. what is that? do you know? >> when we saw that with obama, but not so much with joe biden. hillary clinton's campaign didn't do a good job as the term campaign. they really emphasized that digital. how it plays out. joe biden is trying to create a little bit of buzz, but doing it with crossword puzzles so you text a number and they cros senu a crossword puzzle to get to know him. they are trying to, but it's not hip and cool and modernize. i think it will be a fascinating election. >> tucker: are they incorporating shuffleboard or mah-jongg into this? >> not that you know, you might have give

we put that on the head of the trump campaign at i can see why the president is asking brad parscale and threatening to sue them. in the middle of a pandemic, they are going back in time to something that didn't happen to try to make something big here. he has every right to request that information to find out who is working with the russians and working with the turf. he should be thinking joe biden and not making this an issue. one thing is they are absolutely talking about impeachment in relation in collision he was a very last name on these documents that were released as fox news has been reporting on. at that very same day that joe biden request those conversations which were surveilled, and that very same day and obama official or somebody in the administration calls david ignatius over at "the washington post" and they give a full read out on mike flynn in the context of this information, why is that important? dana, scooter libby and karl rove were pursued by five years under the false charge that they've made private information public, why if the democrats were pushing th

it's none other than trump 2020 campaign manager and baby chick who just set the barn on fire, brad parscaleorning, parscale tweeted, "for nearly three years we have been building a juggernaut campaign-- death star. it is firing on all cylinders. data, digital, tv, political, surrogates, coalitions, etc. in a few days we start pressing fire for the first time." uh, okay. first of all, brad, refreshingly honest of you to say you're the people in "star wars" that were designed after the nazis. but, have you seen the movie? spoilers, but it doesn't end great for the death star. and, i'm going to go ahead and say a deadly pandemic is not the best time to associate yourself with something that kills the population of an entire planet. and if anything, trump is the opposite of darth vader. he won't wear a mask, and i'm pretty sure his line would be (as trump) "eric, i'm not your father." but i have to admit, that'd make a catchy new campaign shirt: "trump 2020: objectively bad with easily exploitable design flaws." and speaking of masks trump won't wear, the president recently told advisers that h

it's not at the scale of brad parscales.tify people. there are a lot of them. a surprising number of them in the swing states who are broken away from trump or soft trump supporters and who have reached a point where when you have peace and prosperity, it's kind of fun to have the transgressive jerk sometimes, the guy who tweets and calls people names but right now we have 70,000 americans dead. it's not funny anymore. they're not taking it in a way you can excuse all things trump is and does. >> tom, the issue is that trump is encouraging these going to a militia look by keeping everyone on board by, i don't know, threatening legislatures in michigan. i don't understand it. you tweeted about it. we're going to look like a militia which isn't going to make lawmakers do anything other than be afraid. i don't understand the strategy of that, trying to use that and that tough guy move. does that end up working with voters? >> i think it just underscores the reality that this election is not about policy. it's about culture and

take a look. >> meet brad parscale. from dead broke to the man trump can't win without. is getting rich. how rich? really rich. don't tell donald. he'd wonder how brad can afford so much. a $2.4 million waterfront house in ft. lauderdale. two florida condos worth almost $1 million each. he even has his very own yacht. a gorgeous ferrari. a sleek range rover. brad brags about using private jets. oh my, brad's a star. and why not? brad's worth every dollar. just ask him. this is to all who are putting their energy into helping others. to anyone helping and caring in their own way. thank you. like you, we're always on. we're proud to put our energy behind you. southern company special delivery ♪ that's why working together ist more important than ever. at&t is committed to keeping you connected. so you can keep your patients cared for. your customers served. your students inspired. and your employees closer than ever. our network is resilient. our people are strong. our job is to keep your business connected . it's what we've always done. it's what we'll always do. i geh. co

i know that donald trump's very angry at brad parscale because he's made millions off of him and feels like parscale hasn't done anything. >> he can't -- >> anything but gotten rich off donald trump, after they've spent millions and millions of dollars online, and trumps numbers keep collapsing. blaming your campaign manager for getti inting rich off after might make donald trump feel good, but it is not going to help him at all. after all, whether he likes it or not, the buck stops with donald trump. what's the campaign saying now? what's the campaign thinking now? what are -- what's their next move? they're getting beaten by a guy in the basement. >> that's what the president has said. during his angry outburst at brad parscale that we reported a couple weeks back, he declared he wouldn't lose to joe biden, made reference to the basement and mixed in colorful language i can't use here. there is real alarm from the campaign in all the polls on a couple fronts. you hit on one, kasie and willie and so on, with women. they know women broke away from him significantly in 2017/2018. there

his campaign manager brad parscale said they saw this coming. silicon valley would pull out all the stops to prevent the president from getting his message out. the white house press secretary kayl kayleigh mcenany, anderson, this has been going on for some time now. it goes all the way back to the 2016 campaign. he explained that the reason why he lost the popular vote to hillary clinton was because of undocumented immigrants voting in the 2016 election. we should point out he established a voter fraud commission to find widespread voter fraud. that commission produced no evidence of widespread voter fraud. and so the president is going back to -- and you were just indicating this a few moments ago -- essentially a social media trick that he has pulled before and he's trying to do it again. and now twitter and other social media platforms, perhaps others, will follow, are starting to do something about it. the question is whether or not the president can really do anything about this at this point. he's threatening to do something about it, but

trump campaign manager and what happens when your local militia pools their money to buy one suit, brad parscaleon friday, trump berated parscale for the damaging poll numbers, and at one point even threatened to sue him. sue him? that's not how you handle disappointment. "i'm sorry, sir, we stopped serving breakfast at 11:00." (as trump) "well, you'll be hearing from my lawyers from the firm of butterworth, jemima, and mcmuffin!" "that bagel guy's a tough cookie." but they were able to hash things out after parscale brought polling numbers that were more positive for trump, and the president seemed in a far better mood. yes, i'm sure. and i'm being told we have a copy of that poll. there you go. trump claims this whole spat with parscale is overblown, tweeting late last night "just told that fake news @cnn is falsely reporting that i was recently shouting at my campaign manager over made up nonsense. actually, he is doing a great job, i never shouted at him-- been with me for years including the 2016 win, and have no intention to do so. just fake news!" yeah, that's ridiculous. i can you agine

he just gets his information out using those platforms, as does his digital operation led by brad parscale. social media is the greatest gift. >> if everybody lived in a reality-based world then, yes. but a lot of these things that the president sets up as his enemies, whether it's the mainstream media, whether now social media, he does it selectively picking out pieces, right? if they put one warning on one of his tweets, that is evidence, in his mind and probably in his supporters' finds, of bias against him and against conservatives, even though in totality, there's nothing preventing this president from expressing himself all day and all night on these sites. one more purpose this serves. you look at the things you ran through at the top of the show. the economic uncertainty in this country with 40 million people unemployed. the racial unrest we're now seeing in minnesota and in other places. and the ongoing pandemic that's claimed 100,000 lives. this president is -- this is his priority at a moment of deep national crisis. his own grievance against the company for a little warning or,

yesterday we learned brad parscale, his company took the money.we're hearing private jet companies are taking it, and then we learned the sba and the treasury put out new guidance that any loan under $2 million, right, there are over 3 million of those out there, are not going to be pursued or investigated by the treasury or the sba because they don't have the bandwidth to do it. that is basically giving license to fraud because they still haven't given us any of the tax i.d.s. there is zero transparency into this. >> yeah, you've done a lot of work on this, stephanie. it's really important and that's the importance of a free media in this country when the inspector general, when president trump just nominated to be the inspector -- the inspector general for what's called the special inspector general for the pandemic response. that position, the president nominated a lawyer that worked for him at the white house who is one of the best they tell us of the president's chief council, he's the one that was voted out of committee last week. it's going

and brad parscale, who is the president's campaign manager has been tweeting it out. it's an association of hacks and quacks. this is a group that's questions they are antivaxers and they've suggested that nicotine is not addictive. there ought to be skepticism of the people being trotted out. but also step back for a moment. look, donald trump's presidency is going to be determined on the success of the reopening whether or not people feel safe. to have doctors out there telling people to not take this as seriously, not adhere to the safety guidelines, runs the risk, i would think, of sabotaging his own reopening just like this politicization of not wearing masks. i think this is another area where it might work against the trump agenda. >> indeed. we're out of time, but, jill, are we going to get a roger stone pardon as the cherry on this horrible sunday, very quickly? >> that's a key question here and that's something that roger and his lawyers are certainly paying a lot of attention to waiting, you know, to see what other signals they might get from the president.

main driver of the sort of behind the scenes warfare you see with data analytics, the stuff that brad parscales so brilliantly for donald trump, he's an expert, he's the campaign manager but he's an expert at digital marketing and ads, and analytics, trying to figure out where the voters are, that bloomberg's outfit that was supposed to be part and parcel of the democrat ic assault to rd donald trump of the presidency is in quite a lot of disarray. you know, no one really understands why, other than because of the covid pandemic and because there isn't traditional campaigning right now, nobody is really using them. biden hasn't hired hawkfish. he was supposed to hire them after mike bloomberg himself dropped out of the race in march. remember, bloomberg dropped out in march 4th, i believe, so just a couple weeks before the lockdowns and the pandemic lockdowns and quarantines began, and since then, they haven't been able to get much business, from what we understand. they are in what is best known as disarray. management changes up top, we hear. they brought in some people, you know, they have

brad parscale is not a household name and our friends are not trying to make him one.t to ask you about an ad strategy designed by one human being which is my sense of what this ad is. this is made for donald trump. explain that. >> you nailed it. this is an audience of one. look, there's two kinds of political advertising. you see what the lincoln group did a few weeks back, brilliant, "good morning america," that's an overarching theme and then there's political warfare. steve madden was on the cover of "time" magazine and he was gone a week later. we all know donald trump does not like anybody in his circle that gets attention. so it's fascinating. what the lincoln group is trying to do is do an internal campaign kind of like let's mess their stuff up. parscale was very good in 2018 so let's do everything we can and throw a molotov cocktail in there. all the president's men, parscale looks sinister. put mcconnell in there, jared kushner in there, these unappealing human beings and saying beyond four more years of trump, you want four more years of this cast of nefar

brad parscale spent something like $100 million. they have way more money to do that now. they were able to really get into the nuts and bolts of the way social media works to target the voters that they needed to get president trump elected. so these billionaires now want joe biden to beat president trump and are now going to dump a ton of money into the same kind of platforms to try and get him elected through digital targeting and advertising of the voters they need to get out to the polls in november. stuart: i'm laughing because i just can't -- i just can't get with this. billionaires turning into socialist supporters. blows me away. one more quickly. >> that's how it always is, right? stuart: yes, it is, actually. yes. yes. this is a long-running story here. but joe biden, he says he's going to have his vice presidential pick by august 1st. that seems like a long way away to me. >> yeah. it does seem like a long way away. i guess he has the luxury of time here because he has the pandemic and is still refusing to get out and do anything outside of what he did on memor

there is no way that joe biden can match what brad parscale's operation has been able to do over severalhought that it sort of was like making sure that everybody knew that they would have done it very differently and they would have been able to win, but i also have to say this. the candidate that they help to bring to the oval office to be commander in chief was barack obama. he was a unique individual. joe biden is not barack obama and is not that unusual. we've known him for decades. i don't think a digital strategy is a problem, i think a message is the problem. >> ed: and that's why you have morty tolson the retired journalist saying, i don't think he's even going to be a great president. >> sandra: fox news alert, a new action on capitol hill as the senate works to override the president's veto on the iran war powers resolution with the boat set for less than two and a half hours from now and it will be an uphill battle. congressional correspondent chad pergram is now live on capitol hill with all of that. good morning. >> good morning sandra. there have been 2500 vetoes in u.s. h

re-election campaign declined to comment after the release of a new video targeting campaign manager brad parscal lincoln project" implies he is enriching himself through the presidential campaign. here's a look. >> meet brad pascal. he's getting rich, but how rich? don't tell him. how can he afford a $2.4 million waterfront house in ft. lauderdale, two florida condoes worth almost $1 million each. he even has his very own yacht. >> so, chuck, here's what they're trying to do here. the president is infamous among his circle of people for hating those who make -- who he believes are making money off of him. using his celebrity in order to enrich themselves. i think what they're trying to do is drive a wedge between the president and parscal. unclear though if that will work. i don't know if that applies to everybody in trump's orbit all the time. >> you know, it's interesting, katy. we live in an environment where there is an outside group that believes, number one, that they can get under the president's skin. number two, using television advertising is an effective way to do it. and, number thre

campaign, chuck, especially after we were launching that lincoln project ad last week targeting brad parscalelet's move on, though. the country music mecca of nashville is moving to phase ii of its reopening. that means the live music scene that the city is famous for can make a comeback, but there will be restrictions. joining me is nbc's morgan chefski. so morgan, what's it look like down there now? >> reporter: well, it looks similar and yet so very different, katy, because you finally have phase ii come back to music city after more than two and a half months, really of silence right here along broadway, which is kind of that main drag, the soul of nashville, if you will. and we took a chance to walk up and down the sidewalks last night and we were finally starting to hear that music return from the dozens of venues, but when you looked inside, the stages, they were noticeably not as crowded, because one of the new rules is, no more than two performers up on stage at a time can exist. and then when you looked out into the crowd, you had socially distanced tables. at some of the venues, yo

what we know, according to multiple reports, is that he blew up on his campaign manager, brad parscale when he saw the poll numbers. he sees that he has a real foe in joe biden. it is part of the reason democrats say he got himself impeached, by trying to find dirt on joe biden. that's the democrats' point of view. the president understands, i think, especially coming more and more into the understanding that this is going to be a dog fight come november. >> jeremy bash, doesn't help when the president goes to a podium or availability and just begins musing about treatments for coronavirus, or the origins of coronavirus. the president yesterday said he has seen evidence that shows the coronavirus originated in a lab in wuhan, china. just hours before that, the office of the director of national intelligence put out a rare statement that reads, in part, the intelligence community concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the covid-19 virus was not manmade or genetically modified. the i.c. will continue to rigorously examine emerging information and intelligence to determine whethe
