joe biden pushes back when confronted by the conservative outlet breitbart in iowa. claiming biden misquoted trump after charlottesville. >> said specifically he said condemning it. >> no, he did not. he said he walked out. let's get it straight. there are very fine people in both groups. they're chanting anti-semitic slogans, carrying flags. >>> left behind. hundreds of children in mississippi sobbing all alone after i.c.e. raids arrest their parents at food processing plants. with the feds making no provision at all for their children. >> my dad didn't do nothing. he's not a criminal. governments police put your heart. >>> good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell in washington. prump president trump is giving new hope today. the president confident a bipartisan deal on background checks could be reached. brushing off any potential blowback from the nra, which has been calling him. >> we have tremendous support for really commonsense, sensible important background checks. we'll see where the nra will be. we have to have meaningful background checks. i think a lot of

trace it to a fox segment, which is traced to a breitbart article. you can see how it is trained to get 500,000 retweets or something. on the flipside of that, i think people are starting to question and pay attention more. especially for millennials. i think they are much more active and curious and want to know what's going on more than is a glass, so it half-full there. olivia: people have actually talked to me about my reporting, if they don't trust abc news, for example, and want to have the conversation. storyain how i report a and how we have a standards department that is very strict and how they fact check what we say a million times. most of the time, they are shocked. i am like, how do you think journalism works? i think part of it is educating people on how people report, how journalists report. kyle: we will get to the audience in a second. i just want to see if everyone kind of makes professional mistakes in the workplace. in a newsroom that is constantly evolving, i wonder if you would be comfortable sharing some kind of epic mistake t

who actively pushed out this story that was in breitbart news that released informations, old socialts bay "new york times" editor and another gentleman, arthur schwartz, who is a conservative operative and consultant who is close to donald trump jr. even seeing the breitbart news story that was first to release some of this damaging information about the "new york times" editor, you see quotes from the white house press secretary and trump campaign advisors. these are folks who, at least on some level, the folks doing the dissemination of this stuff are pretty close to the president. >> the scary thing, you report the group is going as far as researching members of the journalist's family members. >> they're hoping to uncover damaging or embarrassing posts that reveal some of the sort of sentiments that they believe that donald trump, the president, is being unfairly accused of by the media. we're talking about antisemitic sentiments, anti-gay sentiments so they are digging through social media posts and other public statements, you know, potentially including everything from colleg

there was a press gaggle the preside vice president did, there was a reporter from breitbart news whothe vice president, asked him about in his view of the way he believes the vice president has misrepresented donald trump's comments after charlottesville, their view is that in fact the president did not refer to the white supremacists as being equal or very good people on both sides along with those who were protesting. the vice president immediately and forcefully responded to that saying that is absolutely not the case. so what you're seeing here in this statement is an effort again to reframe this discussion, make it about donald trump versus joe biden, an attempt to look beyond the primary campaign and what do they feel is a real strong argument, strong debate for them. >> well, if donald trump thought joe biden was going to back down, he's not. thank you both. mike member memoli and ali vitale. >>> we've heard a lot of promises from candidates appealing to communities and towns with the message that as president they can help. with gridlock in washington local leaders are taking

the e-mails show ultimately these google employees did not succeed in the efforts to censor breitbart has your advertising platform ever enacted policies that tended to favor certain viewpoints over others? >> no, that of senator, we don't use political initiative to influence our ads. >> okay because google ever blacklisted or attempted to blacklist a company, group, individual, or outlet from its advertising partners or its search results for political reasons? >> no, ma'am. we don't use blacklist, , white list to influence our search results. >> for what reason does google blacklist a company? >> as i said per your previous question, we do not utilize blacklist or white lists in our search results depend lyrical -- lyrical speedy i i have one lat question to in march 2019 google set out to form a a council one future of artificial intelligence. that is something very important to us here at this committee. one topic was fairness in machine learning. >> yes been. >> of the eight member appointed to the council only one conservative was appointed. that was the president of the herita

one of mr trump's key allies in his campaign was steve bannon — the former executive chairman of breitbartbeen taking to our north america editorjon sopel, we'll bring that interview to you later in the programme. a delegation from the us congress, led by speaker of the house nancy pelosi, has ended a 3—day visit to ghana. she spoke with evident emotion to the ghanaian parliament, recalling the horrors of the slave trade, on the 400th anniversary of the first enslaved africans arriving in america. she also paid tribute to the contribution african—americans have made to the united states. thomas naadi reports from accra. this trip has been about what makes the united states and ghana —— unites, friendship but also its dark past. it has been 400 years since the first africans were sent across the first africans were sent across the atlantic, the start of a trade that would claim millions of lives and shake both countries forever. this is the main exit to which thousands of enslaved africans were forcibly shipped to america and the caribbean to live a life of slavery. visiting the council cle

he and other former employees have been very vocal, certainly to right-wing websites like breitbart sharingthey claim is evidence that google and youtube are censoring conservative content. it will probably be a topic of conversation. emily: the leader of the house inquiry to big tech is calling on the fcc to make special qualifications for youtube, especially as it concerns children's content. he's urging them to put children's content and one place and not collect or store personal data on children under 13. isit sounds like fcc reportedly in talks with youtube about children's privacy. i read this as congress saying have some teeth with this. if you are going to enforce it and enforce it well and apply it to the world's biggest video platform, which we have talked about a lot, they have a strange issue where they say there's no one under 13 on the site unsupervised, and you go to youtube, there is this fountain of children's content. it has been wildly successful for them. emily: you'll have to keep us updated about how that develops. thank you both. switching gears to softbank, specific

when miller was talking to breitbart as well.iller told his friends he wished trump would run for president, and as soon as he did miller started working behind the scenes on the campaign and formally joined him. >> tim, how were the presidents beliefs on this matter? there's been reporting about the trump organization and its use of immigrant labor. how closely held are the president's beliefs when it comes to immigration? how easily could he be swayed about what stephen miller was espousing and these restrictionist policies that he was bringing to the president? >> i think he's very easily swayed because he doesn't hold any policy very close to the vest or close to his heart. he's not in any of this for policy. he can be inflammatory. he campaigns on these things but he's never been a student of the finer points of any policy including immigration. ais you note, he's hypocritical. he runs hotels and golf courses that are dependent on migrant labor and his businesses wouldn't thrive without that. two of his three wives were immi

matt, breitbart traffic has dropped significantly since 2016. take a look at this. they were enormously influential. traffic has fallen off. that's in part because of the work y'all have done. that's not your word for it. that's steve bannon. let's take a listen to what he said in a recent documentary. >> this group called sleeping giants, a group of tech executives, they literally stripped out -- they took the 35 exchanges that saw the ads and they went away so ad revenue dropped 90%. >> how unwitting are advertisers when their ads end up on articles they want nothing to do with but they're, in fact, subsidizing. >> they're not very aware at all, to be honest. when sleeping giants got started in 2016, it became really apparent right away that advertisers were not aware of showing up on the site next to articles like hoisted high and proud, the confederate flag proclaims the glorious heritage. we let them know and they left. as steve bannon said they lost 90% of their ad revenue. we count 4300 advertisers have left publicly the site. basically steve bannon is tellin

the thing that holds us together, and i don't see much of it coming from the far right and the breitbarts of the world and this administration. it's uniqueness of america. >> mr. vice president, thank you very much. >> sorry, i didn't mean to get so personal. >> i appreciate it. >> well. >> it helps. >> you know, i mean, it's -- it's just amazing how it's -- everybody knows who donald trump is. we got to let him know who we are, man. even his supporters know who he is, they have no illusions about the basic fundamental character traits. i mean, it's -- and i think -- i think sometimes he thinks that we talk about this thing, we talk about other people like we're being suckers, like take care of yourself, i mean, i don't know. we need to let him know that, you know, we choose hope over fear, you know. unity over division. and maybe most importantly, truth over lies. but you got to make sure that, not because i'm running, we got to make sure that the american people understand whoever you're trying to lead that you mean what you say, there's some authenticity to it, and it matters, and you

made by a book produced by colleagues at harvard that's just fox moved to the right to respond to breitbart being able to attract part of a natural audience. it is an important, complex and interesting argument. the natural impulse, we were studying this in multiple elections where rush limbaugh was to maintain basically a traditional reagan republican perspective on the field and play an important role in helping to that primary contenders for the nomination but once you got to the general election, to move behind republican candidate. the question becomes when did the transition occur with media outlets? i didn't watch it carefully enough to see how it occurred. there may have been truth to those outlets being behind traditional republican candidates but it was not clear donald trump would do well. >> host: rush limbaugh offered segments as entertainment. >> guest: we did a survey that gave a list of individuals and asked about journalists. a surprising percentage considered rush limbaugh to be a journalist and i understand that on some level because what he does is offer a great deal of

and i don't see much of it coming from the far right and the breitbarts of the world and this administration. it's a -- it's uniqueness of america. >> mr. vice president, thank you very much. >> sorry, i didn't mean to get so personal. >> i appreciate it. it helps. >> i just -- it's just amazing how -- it's a -- everybody knows who donald trump is. we got to let him know who we are, man. even his supporters know who he his. and i think -- i think sometimes he thinks that we talk about this thing that we talk about other people, like we're being suckers. take care of yourself. i don't know. i don't -- we let him know that we choose hope over fear, you know? unity over division. and maybe most importantly, truth over lies. it's a -- it's -- but you got to make sure that -- not because i'm running. we got to make sure that the american people understand whoever you're trying to lead, that you mean what you say with some authenticity to it and it matters. and you know as well as i do, it really matters. >> vice president joe biden. his message to america and the victims' families. chris cuomo is

when steve bannon said breitbart, at the time he said this, the highest traffic in conservative mediae platform for the alt-right. that's not simply a trump phenomenon. this the bannon view he's going to remake politics. it fixed on immigration. it doesn't go to the conservative public and say we don't like immigration because they are mexican, what they will say is i'm going to tell you monaco the left won't tell you or be not politically correct right now. they will make arguments about immigrants that are false, advance this point of view that ethnicity and nationality and ethnicity and culture are inseparable. >> jon meacham, what if this is who we are. you often say this isn't who we are. what if it is? >> no, i say when you say it's not who we are, it is. it is. let me quickly ask david a question here. at what point -- what's the delineation, where the tipping point between the right and alt-right. was it trump when it tips over? how do we get it back. >> the alt-right existed before trump and latched onto him very emphatically. the tipping point between alt and alt-right, you

so andrew breitbart had that quote that politics downtown stream from culture, and republicans and conservatives will look at washington and the wonks and the new right would argue by the time you're dealing with politics and washington the battle it over because you have people going through public education, the universities and getting information from the corporate press, so by the time -- you're in the fourth quarter and down 50-points so building the coalition is about fighting hollywood, it's about fighting the media, fighting especially denigrating the universities which is the last step of the progressive school, and basically not at all an embrace of republican politics or regarding republican victories as any sort of guarantee of fixing this country. >> host: one of them poo who is newly arrived in washington is the youngest member of the u.s. senate, josh holy, a senator from missouri, he is the first millenial senator in terms of his age, also one who is breaking with the orthodoxy of the right on a number of different fronts, most prom netly on technology. one of his moe recent pro

that a report by the new york times is worth more in informational value than a puff piece from breitbartstein presented no evidence that even if there were bias, votes were actually affected. what he did was look at his previous studies about elections in australia and india and how votes were affected there and then apply his conclusions to the u.s. presidential election and i spoke to a prom innocent political scientist michael mcdonald who studied elections and said american presidential elections are different beast. even if people in india were affected one way it is a different ball game in presidential election where people know a whole lot about the candidates. so the president misdescribed the study and the study itself has problems. >> daniel dale fact checking the president as always. thank you very much. >>> so she likes to boast that she has a plan for everything. this time senator elizabeth warren new plan is a little bit personal. that is next. >>> plus presidential candidate kirsten gillibrand here to respond. once lived... ...and connect with your heritage, your history.

was just how much this language has gone from particularly fox news, from rush limbaugh, pushed by breitbartpushed by corners of the internet, words over and over and over again that we hear this president often frankly weaponize against, you know, human beings who are either trying to come to this country, in some cases illegally, but framing this as, you know, a mortal threat to the country. >> everyone stay with me. president trump lashing out over being called a racist, and "the washington post" reports he views it as just another political attack. we'll discuss next. ancestrydna has new features and richer stories. ...and it's now on sale for just $59. it can lead you on an unexpected journey... ...to discover your heritage. get your dna kit (now) for just $59 at ancestry.com. what's going on? it's the 3pm slump. should have had a p3. oh yeah. should have had a p3. need energy? get p3. with a mix of meat, cheese and nuts. that could allow hackers devices into your home.ys and like all doors, they're safer when locked. that's why you need xfinity xfi. with the xfi gateway, devices connec

certainly places whether it's breitbart or sinclair, sort of the rising audiences that has a lot of peoplelleged shooter in el paso clearly spent a lot of time and posted his manifesto in the hours before opening fire. >> that's exactly right, jonathan. this is not exclusive to any one particular right wing outlet. this was broad. this was almost across everywhere we looked on the right in media whether it's from sinclair, whether it's talk shows like rush limbaugh's. websites like the gateway pundit has appeared on the drudge report. you are talking about websites, shows, talk shows on the radio, on television that have the potential to reach tens of millions of people a week. >> jeremy, this is eddie. this -- i found the article fascinating. talk to me more about the ecosystem of hate. you're using the language of people on the right but we know that is a kind of spectrum. but what we're seeing is it's collapsing with this language, right? so the alt-right or white nationalist who use replacement language and then you have fox news using replacement language. so this in some ways peeling

this is not breitbart london reporting the stories. these are major media stories, where they talk about the health care systems in those countries. so, this is the media you can believe. we will start with the first one year. -- first one here. kidney patient s diet as dialysis machines lay idle. the chart over there is the machines and the dialysis machines in london with the number of people using it versus how many they could actually use. because what is happening is the government decided where the dialysis machines would go. they put more in london, which have more political power, then they get out in the country. as a result, people out in the country were not able to get in to get the dialysis machines, they were passed out in the hinterlands, so people were in the midst of weight. you cannot wait for a kidney dialysis machine. you have to have it three times a week. one of the administrators says, i don't know what is happening in the lines, i assume they die, but in london, there is plenty of space because that is where the

steve bannon called breitbart the plat for the foreman alt-right and breitbart was at the time the second an idea that ethnicity and nationality in many ways should be inseparable. and they'll introduce these ideas into the bloodstream not through blatant and overt racism, but often by beginning with statements that perk up the ears of all too many conservatives in this country by saying, well, the left doesn't like what i'm about to say, but -- or this isn't politically correct, but -- and then they begin injecting a lot of these themes. you saw this in some of the debate over the cara van, for example. on fox news, there was actually someone saying that immigrants, a guest on fox said immigrants were going to bring smallpox into the u.s. it's been eradicated for decades. so you have the injection of these ideas that communicate that immigrants are somehow inconsistent with and will replace or somehow extinguish the true american identity. and that's a core message of the alt-right. it was a message of this manifesto. and it is -- it's a message that will continue to be spread long after

kept a lot of these stories, from the major media, from the united kingdom and canada, this is not breitbart london reporting these stories. these are major media stories where they talk about the healthcare systems in those countries so this is the media you can believe. we start with the first one. kidney patients die as costly dialysis machines lay idle. the chart over there is machine and dialysis machines in london with the number of people who are using it versus how many they could actually use. the dialysis machines would go, they put more in london which had more political power than they did in the country and as a result, people out in the country were not able to get the dialysis machines, they were packed in the hinterlands so people were in the midst of waiting. you can't wait for a kidney dialysis machine. you need to have a 3 times a week. i don't know what is happening to these people. i assume they died because they can't get the machines but in london there is plenty of space because that is where they put the machine. the issue of the government miss allocating resources

it comes after this confrontation between biden and a reporter from conservative outlet breitbart. biden fighting back after the reporter claimed, incorrectly, biden had misquoted the president after charlottesville. >> he said specifically he was condemning them. >> no, he did not. he said he walked out and he said, let's get this straight, he said, there are very fine people in both groups. they're chanting anti-semitic slogans, carrying flags. >> reporter: the biden campaign responding that the president is, quote, desperate to change the subject from his record of using racism to divide the country, that biden misspoke and immediately corrected himself to make the point all children deserve a fair shot. >> andrea mitchell, thank you very much. >>> after the mass shootings in ohio and texas, the push for gun control is gaining momentum with some key lawmakers. peter alexander is on that story this morning. peter, good morning. >> reporter: hey, savannah, good morning to you. president trump speaking as we speak on the south lyawn as he prepares to depart the white house saying a

people had talked even during the campaign about him teaming up with breitbart news, he and bannon, andwell, let's fast forward three years. here's a guy who thinks that he could possibly lose the presidency and what's he doing? he's now using fox news as a scapegoat. why? because when he gets out, he's going to be blaming everybody, but he's going to want to blame fox news as well. so after the presidency, he can start trump tv. it's what he had planned before and it's looking more and more like what he's planning now as a fall-back position to re-election. >> yeah, joe, look, you know this because all of us around this table were here on election day in 2016. the most surprised person in the world that he won the presidency was donald trump. followed maybe by kellyanne conway. i mean they were stunned that they won. they had made no plans, clearly, obviously in retrospect for winning the presidency. >> melania cried. melania went when she got the news that he won. nobody expected it, especially, like you said, donald trump. >> so now on the eve of another election, his re-election cam
