white house reporter for "the washington post," ashley parker and former democratic senator claire mccaskillshley parker, take me through what the thinking is i think everyone at this white house, if given truth serum or a stiff drink could acknowledge it was that briefing where the president suggested injecting disinfectant into the lungs for a good old cleaning certainly put emotion or accelerated his tumble in the polls. why bring that forum, why bring that behavior back they all know by now that the president is incapable of driving any message. >> it's a great question, and it's first worth noting there still is a divide within the white house. not everyone thinks it's the best idea to bring that back to the white house briefing room with the president himself leading those briefings. so some people are on board. not everyone my reporting tells me that if you recall a couple of weeks ago, vice president pence began holding a handful of task force briefings over at hhs. and that was part of a recognition that as the white house, and as the president tried to pivot to reopening and talkin

, plus associated press white house reporter, jonathan lamir, and former democratic senator, claire mccaskillaire, you know i'm coming to you. go. >> so i thought, you know, be careful talking on tv, because i've gotten into a really angry place. i know we're all worn out. the fatigue is significant over this scandal. but i can't decide which makes me sicker. the fact that he has commuted roger stone or whether he is attacking, with oppo research, dr. fauci. i mean, nicole, oppo research is for your political opponents. the notion that he has sent the white house operatives out, press operatives out to drop oppo on dr. fauci is beyond the pale. this country trusts dr. fauci for a reason. and they don't trust him. and him going after him is not going to help him. it's just not going to help trump at all. i hope that dr. fauci stays strong. i wish he would go ahead and book on some of these shows in defiance of the white house, because that's what the public needs right now. the public needs him to stand up to this bully. >> claire, i don't want to make you feel like you have to make a choice,

claire mccaskill saying these are peaceful protests. of oakland, california, libby schaaf, is saying they are not peaceful. they're riots. you see push by democrats to say they're peaceful, peaceful. people on the ground saying no they're not. an associated reporter went in there, ken, he watched six u.s. marshals get wounded, injured. they were bleeding. that is the associated press reporting that. your take, ken? >> we see a coordinated effort to destroy the rule of law and to create chaos, whether it is antifa, whether other anarchists or criminals. we see this attack on the fabric of our country and our cities and, the choice is ours. do we sit on the sidelines and let it happen or in fact do we push back? i say push back. elizabeth: great to have you on. come back soon. okay. texas congressman brian babin will weigh in next. stay right there. ♪ at you need. i wish i could shake your hand. granted. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ and the clock could be ticking towards bad breath, receding gums and

and claire mccaskill with us still as well.ls, expert on russia, your take on that incredibly revealing interview. >> my take is that he's had a lot of conversations with putin and he has completely internalized the kremlin's talking points. his entire interview there is a recitation of russian defenses, of russian excuses. and as jonathan swan tried to get him to admit, a slap at the american intelligence community. he starts by saying it's fake news, it didn't happen. maybe it happened, but nobody told me. all right, they told me, but i didn't read it. well, i did read it. you know, this is somebody who is nonfunctional as a chief executive at defending american interests. this is somebody who knows how to repeat russia's talking points, in part, again, because, i think, the one consistent aspect of this administration, of this president, is that he is terrified of vladimir putin, and he will go to any length not to antagonize or anger putin in any way. that was a shameful performance. those three minutes are among the most s

jonathan lemire and claire mccaskill are with us as well.great to have you on the show. it does seem like things are getting worse in a pandemic that actually was clear and simple, mitigation techniques could can get better. you're leading senators in urging trump to reverse a decision that he made to get out of the w.h.o. this is one of many decisions that has been very striking along the way in terms of how this president has led during this pandemic. >> well, again, we're in a situation that's not about politics. it's not about opinion. we have a whole lot of data where we know, we do certain things, we do certain results. we've now receive the ways. i found by the time july 4th celebrations were coming on, i saw media just predicting that gatherings, more increase in covid-19 tests, more positive tests and more deaths. we're seeing that now. governors who did not follow the advice of medical professionals, more cases and the powerful thing about the international perspective is we have comparables of other nations. nations that got the s

joining our conversation, former democratic senator claire mccaskill, jonathan lemire who covers thiscimen is also still here. claire, my question for you is, we've all been so reluctant to say out loud what is before our very eyes. that there's something clearly path logical about the penchant for lying, the abusive behavior toward so many former staffers and cabinet secretaries. people like jim mattis who served the nation for decades. and here you have someone deep inside his own family, an explanation. >> i think i can remember the first day i used the word liar in connection with the president of the united states. and, you know, it felt weird because typically we try, even if we disagree with the president, or we disagree with their characterization to demonize someone with that label. it's a tough thing to do. but it has become so easy because he's such a liar. so is this a big surprise that his niece says that cheating is a way of life for him? is there any wonder that he's so nervous about all of his financial records because i guarantee you they're full of lies and he depend

senator, now an nbc news and msnbc political analyst, claire mccaskill joins us, and senior writer atco and co-author of "the playbook," jake sherman. he's an msnbc political contributor. great to have you all this hour. so, what was supposed to be an official white house event announcing measures against china over its actions in hong kong turned into a pseudo campaign event. peter baker writes in "the new york times" that it became the campaign speech that trump canceled in new hampshire last weekend, amid those so-called concerns about the weather, there were concerns really of attendance, while citing that storm that never happened at all. peter called the event one of the most rambling performances of trump's presidency, writing this -- "he weighed in on china and the coronavirus and the paris climate change accord, crumbling highways, and then china again and military spending and then china again and the coronavirus again and the economy and energy, taxes, and trade with europe and illegal immigration and his friendship with mexico's president and the coronavirus again and then

president obama, now an msnbc medical contributor, cecil richards, and former missouri senator claire mccaskill and msnbc political analyst. dr. patel, your reaction to this, since you served in the obama administration on this front. what do you make of this decision? >> it is disappointing for a number of reasons, not just because of the problems that many women and families will have with access, but frankly speaking, this was already dealt with, obama administration had provided and made efforts mandated by the courts in a number of rulings to accommodate religious organizations. the trump administration went above and beyond often and created conscience clauses which extended what i would say is an overreach by this administration to deny access to women. you can tell the justices seemed like they were hoping there could be some solutions that were outside of supreme court but here we are today and hopefully we can find another battle for expanding the very accesses, one as you mentioned, many things that the trump administration has completely torn down. and hopefully we can change that d

correspondent and host of "the beat" ari melber and also with us missouri democratic senator claire mccaskill and msnbc political analyst. let me get your thoughts, a 7-2 breakdown echoing what we heard from the first one, not necessarily siding completely with the congressional committee saying there has to be a narrower scope, giving the president some legal window here to maneuver a little bit but also rejecting categorically that the president could, as pete williams describe, barricade himself inside the white house saying he is completely immune. >> now we have both decisions, eamon. it's a fascinating day at the supreme court. it is a split decision now as we can see it all together for president trump. first decision basically said you are not above the law? you must cooperate with the federal taxes and materials. you're no different than anyone else. you could make as pete was just reporting the same defenses anyone else would make but when everyone gets subpoenaed, most people have to turn over just about everything. that's a big loss for the president 7-2 decision and private proce
