[laughter] you'll have a a difficult time getting reservations for dinner. not really. everything is fine but you are always conscious of politics and so often you want to go to a particular place if i could say one very funny thing the beginning of the iraq war there was going to be a demonstration of course naturally. i could see it from a balcony. there was a guy holding a sign saying u.s. out of nicaragua that was from the reagan administration. i can like get out of nicaragua either feeling someone had that stored from the reagan era and knew ther

[laughter] i went home, i was so upset, i called andrew breitbart. [applause] and i said what a day i just talked to conservatives and there is a gust of laughter. for the next several years i went around with g conservative groups giving speeches about how we should care about the culture and why we need thing takes to think about tv and movies and books and give awards because while conservatives are worried, the thing about the culture is that it eats away at the world you know what sweeps under your feet, because how else to explain that we live in the finest, wealthiest strongest nation that's ever existed and twice we elected the guy who promised to fundamentally transform this country. ea, were too strong, were two free, stop us bute that's the culture getting to people's heads convincing them that this is a oppressive place for evil place. trump true. he's an answer to a culture that has hated the central values of this country for 50 years. people say they elected him because they're angry. of course angry. 50 years of every movie show and c

i called my power, andrew breitbart. i hope you guys remember andrew breitbart. a day.what i tried to talk to conservatives about cold sure. there was disgust of laughter over the phone. for the next several years i went around to conservative groups giving speeches about how we ought to care about the culture. how the culture works. why we ought to have think thanks. we ought to give awards and build -- because the thing about the culture, while conservatives -- everything is an emergency. if we don't win 150 congressional districts in missouri the constitution is dust. it is a slow way. it eats away at the world you know and sweeps under your feet. the san gets eaten out from under you. that is how culture works. how else do you explain that we live in the freest, wealthiest, strong nation that has ever existed and twice we elected a guy who promised to run the mentally transform it? i want to fundamentally transform this country. strong,oo free, too stop us. that is the culture. getting into people's heads, convincing them this is an oppressive and wrong place

that's what and or breitbart was trying to build. one of the last conversation i had with him, he asked me too be a president of a new think tank he was building in hollywood and he said i just want artist to come together and talk to each other so i think the money can come from political people, but you've got to let artists the artist. the thing is artist will not be straight down the line conservatives. the lee cultural critical, which conservatives don't like, but they are going to support values that you can get behind. that does happen. it still happens in hollywood. the only problem is when you see like the dark knight movies, those are deeply conservative movies. i used to joke that if that man took his mask off and they found out he was batman they would hunt them down. you need conservative money to allow artists to be artists. it's very hard to do. the minute you start cursing, the minute you have a character who used the name jesus in vain they start say no, no, no, but that's art. the most conservative work of art of my

i called my pal andrew breitbart. i hope remember andrew breitbart. [applause] and i said what a day, i just tried to talk to conservatives about the culture. there was this gust of left on the phone. so for the next several years i went around to conservative groups giving speeches about how we ought to care about the culture, and how the culture works and what it does and why we ought to a think tanks to think about tv, think about movies and books and we ought to give awards. because the thing about the culture is while conservatives are worried, everything is an emergency. if we don't win the 150 ninth congressional district in missouri, the constitution is dust, you know? but think about the culture is it's a slow wave and it eats away at the world you know and it comes in and suites of just be. the sand gets eaten out from under you, that's how the culture works. because how else do you explain the fact we live in the freest, the wealthiest, strongest nation has ever existed on earth, and twice we elected a guy who promised to fundamentally tran

his point was breitbart news should be on there, fox news should be on there.n argumenti fox news should be on there. it is an argument i do not think it stands up an argument i do not think it stands up to much. it is a diversion. it is a political diversion, but the real question is what it leads to, could it lead to regulation of facebook, twitter and instagram, given what we have learned about run—up to the 2016 presidential election? this is the thing about trump, his desire to create a diversionary tactic, some of these big tech companies could be facing regulation. whether or not a new congress be on the november passes any of this, let's wait and see. let's talk about the french president emmanuel macron has a lovely big majority in the french parliament and was swept into power, et cetera. but it would seem things are getting quite tricky for him now, his high—profile environment minister has quit. yeah, so this is his energy minister, nicolas hulot. it seems he has —— it seems emmanuel macron has die back en france's commitment to reduce emissions. it

steve bannon a breitbart news? he served as his counsel and was assistant to brett kavanaugh in the white house. mr. burke is going through the documents to decide which ones will be given to the senate judiciary committee to consider. it means that he is the filter of things he does not want us to see. that's not what the american people to see. this republican advocate attorney will be a decision-maker when it comes to whether not we can see documents produced by brett kavanaugh that we served in the white house and beyond. it is even worse. it turns out those documents are subject to some kind of committee confidentiality. i have served on the judiciary committee for years. i know there are documents considered somewhat committee confidential. it is rare. usually a clae case you won't ae over. in this case, the republicans on the senate judiciary committee will be the final filter as to whether the american people will know the background of brett kavanaugh. why is there so much secrecy? why will they be made pu

that's a lack of integrity journalistic integrity on the part of breitbart if they didn't make that clear which it appears to me they didn't ok it's a fair point many thanks for joining us to discuss this story journalist dave lindorff my guest thank you. thanks for having me. it's been one year since we first reported on russian speaking children found in an orphanage in iraq following the brutal military operation there against the islamic state after the report was we launched the campaign to find any relatives of those children and several people came forward saying they recognize some of them this led to those orphans being reunited with their families years after their parents had left russia to join i saw one correspondent in a culture respond to those families to find out whether they've managed to move on following the tragic experience. so. if. a year ago two small sisters had caesar and fights were brought back to their grandparents who at the time lost all hope of africa seeing them again they say they feel safe here in this house the sister salue can behave like any other chi

out there while others were saying gucifer was part of a russian operation, stone working with the breitbart publication insisting that gucifer had nothing to do with russia. he was bolstering a russian disinformation campaign designed to cover up a russian attack on the united states. that is what roger stone was doing in the summer of 2016. >> to be the status of mueller and agalarov. >> they are his business partners. it is emin's idea to bring ms. universe to moscow. and a deal is cut. and agalarov. came to fruit in 2016 with the e-mail that you just wrote from emin. >> there were conversations about potentially introducing putin to trump. so emin offered to make that meeting. >> there were conversations about potentially introducing putin to trump. so emin offered to make that meeting. these conversations happened 2014, 2015, 2016. and there is video online where you see him talking to his publicist, how can we capitalize on donald trump who is the republican nominee. we can use this to our advantage. so it is an interesting relationship >> there is also the fact to what anna was saying

and i take a close look at the career of andrew breitbart. he's kinda like the john the baptist for the savior who now occupies the white house. there is a sense in this book. of my and maybe your of what feels like the eternal sake girl of the car he is subverting federal agencies. he is doing it all in the name of the common people. it is just so maddening to me that this goes on and on and it it seems to be impervious. we think of the amazing opportunity that we have to interrupt this cycle permanently. the fantastic mandate behind them desperate people anxious for him to do something. i think about that moment. we could be in the second year of the biden presidency or something like that. would've gone on and on for decades. it's ronald reagan all over again. only different hairdo this time. all of the essays in one essential story. this is what society looks like. is the thrill. there is no longer any limit on their power to accumulate. so in strict headline terms. they cover the years of the obama presidency and in the populist explosio

. >> let me read you something that struck us from conservative radio host of breitbart ben shapiro.ere's what he wrote about the president's handling of security clearance. "trump likes pardons and security clearances, anything he can treat as a reward or punishment in this governmental version of "the apprentice." fair analysis? >> we've seen with pardons and hear with the threats and going forward with those threats to revirginia tech security clearances are trumpian tools of the presidency, that this particular president is taking advantage of it. with those tweets he is abandoning any pretense set by the white house that this was about national security. we saw last week trump was talking about the mueller probe, talking about the russia investigation when he was talking about revoking brennan's security clearance and he hinted and said publicly that there could be others. what's interesting here, too, is the animosity towards brennan among some remembpublicans has helpful to trump. he's been using brennan as a way to hit back at the mueller investigation and to win in the court

it's not that unusual for them to comment but this deep state conspiracy stuff that bubbles up from breitbartnd other places and has been given featured role in this white house is bizarre so i mean what it really speaks to is the notion that dissent of any kind is treated as subversion, that's dangerous for the country. >> david axelrod, thank you for being with us. >> you've made his week. >> you have. >> it's not going to happen often. >> we all need entertainment after a week like this.

those findings were also run on conservative site breitbart news. a potentially troubling issue for going silt already knows a lot about users' interests, reading habit, past searches and political leaning by tracking you. >> it is certainly a possibility that the news you see is skewed by not only your own search habits, but also your geography and demographics that apply to you. so we don't all get the same results. >> the president is at odds with google search results. >> i think google is really taking advantage of a lot of people. and i think that's a very serious thing and it's a very serious charge. >> google responded to the president's criticism in this statement, quote, search is not used to set a political agenda, and we don't bias our results toward any political ideology. we never rank search results to manipulate political sentiment. >> google's goal is to keep you clicking. they got to keep you clicking on the screen. one way they do that is by giving you content you like that. >> could be convent you favor or products you might want

then on the other side you have fox and breitbart and sinclair and all of those things and people getting thing about it. the rally he had the other day in tampa. you know, they're screaming, fake news." it used to be he would just scream it and now the audience is screaming at it, screaming, "fake news." now you have 40% of america bought into this alternative narrative, which is just lies. >> stephen: well, back in the day, in the lead-up to the iraq war, as you said, very few people got it right, and we have a clip here from the movie. and what's happening here, do you know? >> i don't know which clip you're going to play. >> stephen: i think it's you on the phone. >> on the phone oh, at the "philadelphia enquirer." which was a knight ridder paper, and they didn't run these knight ridder stories. they ran "new york times" stories. they wouldn't run-- and a lot of papers, the knight ridder papers wouldn't run their story because they were thinking they weren't being patriotism. >> stephen: >> i'm getting a little tired pick up your paper every morning and seeing you're not running our s

that was before the days of fox news and breitbart and hannity and this kind of -- this sort of silos that is we live in today. but you know, you do -- you would like to see people stand up at some point and take a position on this, because you know, this is a major five-alarm constitutional crisis at this point. >> i've got to play this. but to finish my point, he's basically saying to you, if you're listening and you're a supporter and you're standing by on 5th avenue, he can tell you anything and you'll buy it. he can do anything and you'll buy it. that's an insult. that's not right. most rational people, no. joogd. i'm sorry. >> i want to play this for you. if you have time we can respond. this is a bit of the president's interview with fox, airing full tomorrow morning where he suggests that president obama also committed a cam feign finance violation. here it is. >> when you look at president obama he had a massive campaign violation and he had a different attorney general and they screwed it a lot different. >> so what do you think? >> the obama campaign had technical violation

he was at full tilt war through breitbart attacking people like mcconnell, ryan, boehner, kanter.usting of kanter as an incumbent republican and he said he was interested in trump going against the republican establishment. when you take that building and steve bannon said in this interview, what i'm trying to do is save them and keep them in power, that is a different steve bannon. critics say it comes out of his currently reduced stature and it's his way of getting back in. you can only do so many revolutions at a time and the reason this is up for debate, but one logical reason you can argue he has a different stance is that building back there is much more of a pro trump wing of the republican party. the people leaving the caucus and the moderates, the steve bannon of 2015 is a steve bannon of 2018 trying to back up trump and what he sees as anti-trump populism. i struggle to show it involves hedge funds and financeurs and putting the debate aside, now this is about trump, but it's going through the bank shot of this first mid-term. >> let's play another clip from this. he mad

do you equate mainstream media with blocks such as breitbart or the daily caller? do you equate those when it comes to news outlets? guest: there is a spectrum. i read all of those. i will also sometimes look at left-wing places like the daily beast or huffington post. i think you need to look at all of it and collectively gather as much as you can. as there is an right, there is a lot of the left. host: review like on the left? which is the main source for you? guest: it is not a question of like. part of the job is to look at the full spectrum. i might read a story from the huffington post or the daily beast, but when i do i think there is a level of scrutiny and now i want to find out further. when you read a story from one of those sources, it makes you wonder how much of it is activism journalism versus an attempt to write it straight up or something from buzz feed where is all the left-leaning sites and you have to go now i need to further investigate to find out whether this was them pursuing an agenda or how much of it is accurate? host: from minnesota, dem

>> i used to work in that industry before andrew breitbart discovered me. used to work in the management business and i adore this industry and the art form. but, broadway lean so far to the left they have fallen over and they can't get up. they really are. i love the business but the fact is and rosie was just saying to her fellow broadway performers there at the protest, make sure the president knows you are alive. he knows you are alive but he also knows that all those people you're talking about regarding alive, the people from middle america who save their pennies and come to new york. when he sees what these performers think of him, what the industry thinks of him, they might go on a cruise next time. >> tammy: this is a point where sums -- at some stage, they may have a better idea like better tax cuts and paychecks. we all benefit from those things so maybe it's time to start focusing on that. larry, thank you for joining me tonight. there's plenty of derangement to go around these days. in hollywood, donald trump's hollywood walk of fame star has b

conservative radio host and also former editor at large of breitbart new s ben shapiro sai.dons and security clearances, anything he can treat as a reward or punishment in this governmental version of "the apprentice." he is a conservative radio host. he has been critical of the president when he thinks he needs to be. is he right on that? >> yeah. i actually don't think he is wrong on that. look, i think brennan was a completely different animal than the rest of all of the other people that appear on television within our own network that talk -- that held high positions in intelligence like mr. clapper. they were never saying -- they weren't strident in their tone and in their analysis. they also weren't calling his behavior treasonous. they weren't going on twitter and being bombastic. brennan approached this in a very political way. when you watch clapper and when you watch other people, you see it's more measured, it's more analytical. brennan makes a great foil for the president. i think he thinks he wins on it. i think he thinks he is going to continue to bite back, i

it's got the fox news side and the breitbart and the online cheer sections for trump that now sort oferrify rank and file republicans from saying anything about this guy. they're afraid of his social media power. so you end up in a situation where the party has become subsumed by trump's fortunes, weath whether they rise or fall. it's a terrible bet, because i think my theory plays out constantly and consistently. i mean, just -- paul manafort and michael cohen on paper should now be masters of the universe but instead they're both admitted if or convicted felons. >> rick, can you ever get your party back? >> it's going to take a shock, it's going to take some serious work and introspection on the part of leaders who collapsed in front of trump because they thought this nationalist populism and statism will be the wave of the future. it's a going to be a tough ride. >> rick wilson is the author of "everything trump touches dies." congressman elijah cummings joins andrea mitchell next. you're watching "velshi & ruhle" live on msnbc. little things can be a big deal. that's why there's o

legitimacy around the world to the point i saw people instead of the "the washington times" and breitbart where it originated and it showed ther that there was a cie of disinformation which can start off with an error, that's targeted fake news and it will create a self-perpetuating cycle that reinforces whatever it is. the problem is we saw russian intelligence operating to do what we call mary and adding it's like a marionette where you pretend they are real american citizens and would try to create rallies, protests and riots by saying i'm going to be at such and such shopping mall to protest hillary clinton or whatever it's going to be. you should all join me out there and then 20 or 30 people show up. there's no leadership so they do a self-professed. i had a situation occurred like that last year as well. another targeted one and this is when i realized they were actually dedicating human resources to watching me. i had a bought for 90 days putting out we didn't realize because it was just out there that putting out a wanted poster within era because the crosshair was the wrong radi

> he elevated him and lisa page to the forefront of conservative media, segments on fox news, on breitbart, peter struck has really been a figure of particular derision. during his testimony on the hill, he tried to explain his text messages. he got in a tense debate with gop members. some on the left tried to defend him. it's clear that whatever happened with the text messages have been larger than life because of the president's ability to make it so. nonstop posts and comments about it. >> nia, let me bring you in. as josh points out, this has been a topic the president definitely has focused on a lot. this was a big deal whether the text messages came out in the inspector general report. >> that's right. you saw him testifying on capitol hill there in an explosive series of exchanges there with republicans who went after him in a very personal way. we will see what donald trump says about this. as josh said, this has been a person who has been enemy number one in many ways of the president. used to essentially say that the whole mueller investigation, the mueller probe was rigged again

it's a document that seems to buy into a conservative conspiracy theory aired on sites like breitbart that opine that there was a war room of obama officials engaging in a secret, coordinated attack on the administration. and the memo is really written in the style of a military analysis memo. it treats these former obama aides almost as enemy combatants. >> talk a little bit about that. your report that the language in the memo, it mirrors documents produced by black cube. that's considered an israeli private intelligence firm. you report that they were allegedly tasked with smearing people involved in crafting the iran nuclear deal. do you think there is a connection there? >> so i had previously reported that there was this undercover operation to undermine proponents of the iran deal, including former obama aides. and they used some pretty extreme tactics, wolf, in undertaking that goal. they were using front companies, false identities, going after people's spouses. what we've now learned is that that operation was underpinned by documents that used very similar language, talking

i'm with breitbart.i have been to some of the protests, and interesting to hear from three women because one of their main complaint is they think he will be a very bad go,st as far as women women's rights, reproductive rights, and other rights. it runs the gamut from environmental law on down, but basically using his views on women's rights as a reason to oppose him. so if you could comment on that. think this -- first of all, i talked in my remarks about his support for women personally, and that is so true. as others have said, his personal characteristics are relevant to his jurisprudence in that regard. you can look at his body of pieces. longs got a larger -- record on the d.c. circuit judge and find examples of him applying the law impartially often to the benefit of female litigants. off the top of my head, i can't think of -- i can think of a case of a female defendant who was convicted and appealed to the d.c. circuit judge judge kavanaugh wrote an opinion reversing the trial court in holding t

on big league politics, a far right media outlet that pushes conspiracy theories run by a former breitbartr, senators lick ted cruz, and steve scalise have used big league to fund raise. after nbc news infield of conspiracies promoted on the site, cruz and scalise severed the relationship and returned any money raised. nunes didn't respond. nbc news broke the story. >> i found that there are hundreds, thousands of people congregating in some of the darkest corners of the internet alleging things against local businesses that they are involved in these terrible rings of pedophilia and the online chatter is having real consequence in the real world. >> reporter: the threats against voodoo doughnuts grew out of a youtube video that made baseless allegations, now stirring up real world fear. >> when i talked to a manager, she said that she had met with her other managers and talked about what would we do if someone came in with a gun? so i don't know what resources they are expending, but i'm sure it's in their mind and i know they have police presence sort of around and are thinking about thi

search on google, i get results that come from fox news and the "wall street journal" and even breitbart's. i don't know what the president is going on about here, but he did say it would be addressed. we have a discussion about whether congress should be involved in social media because of the problems we have in the election. on the other hand, it seems to be different when the white house says it will be addressed. >> and when the president makes the statements in the oval office, in that video clip you just showed. it carries some weight with it. the white house seems to be caught flat-footed about this today when very early in the morning i started asking people about it. a group of us reporters caught larry kudlow in the driveway and asked him about it. all he would say was it's something we're looking into -- >> i've got that for you. this is larry kudlow talking about google. >> does the president believe or does the administration feel that there needs to be some sort of regulation for google, or what exactly was the president referring to? >> we'll let you know. we're taking a lo

that's not breitbart. cnbc.hey know the data. >> juan: what you see is it's a very slow, stagnant -- >> dana: i hear what you're saying. it is still super hard to try to make that argument. obama might try to do it, but i don't -- >> juan: i don't think they are running against the economy. they are saying the real estate. the reason people are frustrated with the economy as they feel they are not getting their fair share. >> dana: i hear you. >> greg: those are generalizations that are not proven. what were you going to say? he cut you off. >> dana: i don't remember. the argument he's trying to make is hard to make when the headlines across all the papers are the things are better. it's like a feeling. president trump, they're going to have a battle. actually we don't even know exactly what is going to happen in october. that's always a month when there's big news on all sorts of things. you could have a really good gdp number and a jobs number. that could be the talk of the town. there could be some disaster.

because what made him potent with the breitbart and trump situation, at the time he had the mercer family the billion dollars backing him and so whatever political initiative there was the money to make it happen and now all we're hearing from steve are words. and he takes advantage of the media crush and any time he talks or going on television and talk to a report and that phone call is return and that interview is booked and is there there there? if this is all just for show, and the hopes of a attracting investment, this could go away very quickly and be not very impactful at all. >> that is -- good to think about. who is he trying to attract at this moment? this is the first time he's ever done a sitdown with msnbc and we also are looking at midterms where the swing votes are in play, certainly. >> yeah, but steve bannon and his strategy are not going to appeal to swing voters. you saw this in the interview when he mentioned for example that he believes this election will be a referendum on donald trump. if that is the case, then republican candidates are going to be in trouble in pl

sfra france does not sound like breitbart. the bbc does not sound like some of the other organizations. so i think the international trump has not given up on holding trump accountable and that is how world leaders are able to interact with trump a lot differently than we are as a people. >> and to that point, yes, on screen you can put the red x, make the buzzer noise, but you look at the audience gathered in that arena, not only was it washing over them, they were applauding for these things. what does that level of acceptance say to you as you try to retain some optimism for capital t truth to be valued the way it once was? >> and i think when you look at the trump base and supporters, it is, one, scary that they are delighted to be lied to and taken advantage of truthfully. but i will say i think this ignorance is very bipartisan. and living through eight years of the obama administration, i've had friends, people in my own family who reflected some of the same ignorance. that was one of the most striking things to me that

you know, whether it was with breitbart or doing other things. >> you're also very rich and you know a lot of rich people. >> i have had a pretty good run and i know some high net worth individuals. >> who is funding this group? >> private donorsdonors. >> why not tell people who they are? the law allows you to go public or private. >> if donors want to come forward, they can. i think you would say that we are very much focussed on -- we're the china hawk, c4. i'm very up front on what the situation is with china and there are people that back this that are china hawks. >> for them, they want to make money off of what comes off of these elections because of their positions with china. >> no, no, no. it is because of their patriotism. >> is there anyone you would not take money from? >> well, i would not take money from foreigners, right? i'm pretty selective about who i take money from. i have always had great partners. but i have never had a problem raising money. i think you have seen particularly in wall street and others you see a lot of people that come from blue collar backgrou

he was once the leader of a website, breitbart news which pedals in white nationalism.a asked steve bannon if the rumors about him being a racist are true. here's what she says is his response. >> steve bannon was always straightforward about who he is, where he stood. he was unapologetic. and i wanted to understand what his perspectives were -- where they came from this type of hate. he explained clearly he was a proud white man. it was scary for minimum to not see how harmful, hose association with the alt right. >> people close to the president say he's confronting his mounting legal issues head on, the way he has past scandals, he's coming do grips with the degree to which this guilty plea from his former attorney and fixer michael cohen is now opening the trump organization. and by extension president trump opened now to a growing investigation. alex? >> jeff bennett from the white house. joining me now, laura pass et. and jeff mason. big welcome to you both. jeff, you first here. i'm curious what you make of the president's tweets, in the midst of all these legal
