he was the donald trump of american politics before donald trump became donald trump of american politicians. the right wing of politics doesn't need two donald trumps. no one really cares what rush limbaugh says. not even rush limbaugh. the latest crazy thing that rush limbaugh says nowadays never makes it into the american news media because it's not as crazy as what the president of the united states said every day. including what the president said tonight. rush limbaugh had to give up many of his beliefs to become the faithful trump follower that he is and he confessed publicly that they were never beliefs at all. he didn't believe all that stuff he was saying. stuff that he and other republicans were lying about what they believed. he actually said that on his radio show and at the end of this hour, pulitzer prize winning columnist will join us about what donald trump has done not just to the republican party, but to our politics and whether the damage can be repaired. when donald trump won the presidential nomination, this week he said that the damage the presidency of donald trump ha

donald trump knew about jeffrey epstein and what donald trump called the younger side. terrific guy. that's what jeffrey epstein was to donald trump. to this day donald trump has not said a negative word about jeffrey epstein. donald trump has attacked the leaders of countries that are the strongest allies and attacked congressman justin amash this weekend for leaving the republican party. donald trump attacked elizabeth warren, chuck schumer, attacked me. he attacked hundreds and hundreds and thousands of people and never once said a single negative word about jeffrey epstein, not one word. jeffrey epstein does did not see it coming when his private plane took off from paris. >> epstein was arrested this past saturday evening at the airport aboard his private jet that had just landed from paris, france. >> contemporaneous with the arrest from epstein, agents executed a search warrant on his mansion in new york city. they recovered and seize and that was a search pursuant to a valid warrant and agent seized evidence including nude photographs of what appear to be undera

what does donald trump do?lks away from that agreement, he imposes tough new sanctions on the iranians, and prompts, it seems, the iranians to abandon the limits on their own enrichment programme. you can, you know, you can argue which is the right approach, but, you know, the agreement did not stop their enrichment of uranium. but surely the lesson the iranians are bound to draw, if you acquire nuclear weapons, donald trump, you call him a businessman, a wheeler dealer, a guy who negotiates, donald trump, once you have nuclear weapons, will treat you in a very different way. i don't look at it that way. the way i look at it is he, donald trump, you know, love him or hate him, he believes he can negotiate a deal. that's what he believes. i mean, he wrote the book. he believes he can do that. with iran, his belief, you know, and i think a lot of americans‘, including my belief, is that the deal was not a good deal. we gave iran a lot of the money. they didn't stop supporting hamas and hezbollah. there were invol

>> donald! donald! donald! donald! ♪ >> wow.s archives shows trump and jeff epstein sharing a giggle at trump's mar-a-lago estate. trump looks giddy despite saying he wasn't a fan. we should know that the party happened more than a decade before epstein's plea deal in florida and there have been no allegations of criminal wrongdoing at that party. jeff epstein, who is facing new charges of trafficking underaged girls was denied bail on thursday, the judge denying bail fr for house arrest at his million-dollar mansion. joyce, the video is gross both in the way it sort of displays the way apparently women felt they had to sort of perform for these men that were in their company, trump and his good friend -- that he called a good friend, jeffrey epstein. but i wonder if -- let me first get your comment on the fact that he was denied bail, which we were hoping would happen, but you never can tell. >> this really looked like a no-brainer decision for the judge to make. prosecutors get pre-trial detention if the defendant is a flight

we don't believe donald trump. other republican who voted not to condemn the president but voted in effect to condemn themselves, they did that, they voted to condemn themselves in history as actively complicit in the president's racism. before the vote the president tweeted "those tweets were not racist. i don't have a racist bone in my body. the so-called vote to be taken is a democratic con game. republicans should not show weakness and fall into their trap." i don't know why the president capitalizes the "r" in the word "racist" the way religious people capitalize the letter "g" in "god" out of reverence for that word. is it donald trump's reverence for the word "racist?" is that what he is signaling to racists with that upper case "r" for "racist?" is that what he's doing? every republican showed weakness and fell into donald trump's racist trap today except those four republicans who voted against donald trump's racism. why is it always the bones? why do racists always talk about their bones, as in i don't ha

they help donald cheat at politics the way donald trump cheats at golf.> exactly. i think that is part of what could be a larger story the democrats tell, which is really directed to a lot of donald trump's supporters and potential supporters, which is what does this guy actually accomplish on your behalf? is the swamp drained? is obama care gone? is the wall built? and then the question on election security, do they actually welcome elections, some kind of intervention? are they actually relying on that as part of their strategy? we know what donald trump thinks about this. he has said it many times and you can make an assessment about his ego needing to think he won on his own or the strategic goal going forward, but the question has to be put to mitch mcconnell, what are you doing here? are you against election security, yes or no. to me he's up for re-election. he's obviously going to be very sensitive to this. i just don't know what the answer is right now. >> mitch mcconnell in 2016 helped stop the employ of information to the american public about

and donald trump loves him and admires him.it's shocking to me to watch the president of the united states convene with people like kim jong-un and vladimir putin and class himself as their friends and not friends of the west. so who leads the west when we don't lead? there isn't anyone. there isn't anyone, any country that has the power that we have, the power of our military or the power of our story. so if donald trump stays in power that story is probably done. it will be very hard to get back, hard to get into the supply chain of freedom. the supply chain hover the story of goodness and democracy so i worry that we're just going to keep sliding toward kleptocracy and americans will learn to live with it and then i don't know what happens. >> also we are now about two minutes out from wrapping this program and it's been very informative, again, the man who sold america, get this booker, raved this book. challenge yourself. what is it -- you'll know how to wrap tight now with two minutes out. >> guest: yes. >> host: what do

>> guest: that is talking about donald trump's presidency, not talking about just how donald trump used television but as president he has been used by it which is to say he is an avid cable news the or, wakes up with fox and friends, gets agitated by television, tweets about it, those tweets become the news, he watches the news reaction to his tweets, tweets further. there is something in the modern media culture where it is like we are living in a show that is being produced for one viewer in chief. the title has larger resonance because one thing the book is talking about as well as donald trump is the tendency in media to move from this monoculture, smooth tones mass media audience to this internet bubble audience where we are broken into smaller and smaller groups until each of us is an audience of one. >> host: do you find yourself with a grudging respect for donald trump's manipulation of television? >> guest: you don't become president without being good at something and donald trump became president because he is very good at directing attention to himself and using attention.

including donald trump.come two or three times to national action network's convention. donald trump called me and asked me to meet with him after he was elected. if you thought somebody hated whites and cops, why would you go to their conventions? why would you call them as president? omarosa manigault wrote in her book he continuously said to get out and meet with me. he doesn't believe that. but he believes he can play the race card and play it on people in a demagogic way to try to in some kind of way energize them and to ignite them in a racial divide that would lead to his re-election. i think it's bad for the country, and i do not think it will work politically. >> yeah. and the point about his son owning property, himself -- wonder who owns those buildings because i wonder if we looked into it if people are mistreating the folks in those buildings. maybe we want to talk to those folks. reverend al sharpton, michael steele, thank you both for being here and what you did today. appreciate you. >>> comi

donald trump doesn't want to run against any of those four candidates. instead he wants to run against four members of the house of representatives who are not running for president. they are all women of color. they held a joint press conference this afternoon to respond to donald trump's racist attacks against them. >> we want to give back to the business of the american people and why we were sent here, reducing the cost of prescription drugs and addressing the health crisis of gun violence and the racial wealth gap. and yes, making sure that families stay together. i also would like to just underscore the fact that despite the occupant of the white house attempts to marginalize us and to silence us, please know that we are more than four people. we ran on a mandate to advocate and represent those ignored, left out, and left behind. our squad is big. our squad includes any person committed to building a more equitable and just world. that is the work we want to get back to. and given the size of this squad and this great nation, we cannot, we will not

lamed donald trump.t up on the screen how some news organizations, this is cnn, reacted to the president saying. he started speaking quickly in order to move past the chant. >> why did you ask them to stop saying that? >> number one i think i did. i started speaking very quickly. [chanting] >> the media counter argued that the president did not do anything in real time. though he did attempt to distance himself. next day he was asked about the north carolina rally goers and he said they were patriots. >> is happened a week ago sunday. he said it and then it is not like the media that night said my god, he let 13 seconds go by. it was not until the next day when trump said the clip that we watched, that they then showed the clock, the timer. and said it is a lie. so it is not that the media was looking to jump on him for time, is that they were calling him out on a blatant lie. he did not try to speed up the speech, he does not try to stop it, he sat there and enjoyed it. >> i generally don't blame politi

donald trump lost zero friends on 9/11. donald trump attended zero 9/11 funerals, zero.rump had attended even a single 9/11 funeral or if he had lost a single distant acquaintance on 9/11, you would have heard about that today. if donald trump lost many, many friends on 9/11, you would have heard about that today. so donald trump's silence today about his own lying claim of suffering the loss of hundreds of friends on 9/11 proves once again that he was lying when he tried to tale the grief of the people who lost loved ones on 9/11 and make that grief his own. and it proves once again that donald trump will lie to anyone at any time in any place on any occasion, no matter how sacred or solemn, about anything. that is tonight's last word. "the 11th hour" with brian williams starts now. "the 11th hour" with brian williams starts now. >>> tonight, the president of these united states has attacked baltimore. it's being received as bigoted, race-based, if not surprising as the president attacks another member of congress in a storied american city of former baltimore mayor wil

this is donald trump. of course it's not a dog whistle, it's a bull horn to his most bigoted, racist supporters and we'll just see what happens. so president trump meant most of the day doubling down on those tweets over the weekend. attacking a group of progressive women for being critical of the united states just like the president is constantly critical of the united states. during the event that was supposed to highlight american made products, donald defended his remarks in which he said the four democrats should quote, go back to the crime infested places from which they came. of course when he says that he's talking about cincinnati, and detroit and new york city. later in the day the four congresswomen that president trump attacked in the tirade stood side by side to denounce the comments. here is a little bit of how the day unfolded. >> as far as i'm concerned, if you hate our country, if you're not happy here, you can leave. >> our squad is big. our squad includes any person committed to buildin

donald j. trump. i mean, this was a truly deeply depressing weekend based upon that tweet that he put out. basically, the president of the united states saying to four women of color, go back where you belong. i mean, who hasn't heard that in the past and in this country? >> well, we'll talk about that for a second, mike, but tell me -- i mean, that's a great example though. that's going to be our next story. but that's a great example. once again, donald trump dividing up his 42, 43% on one side and on the other side, my gosh, if you're a person of color, if you're in wisconsin, if you're in michigan, if you're in pennsylvania, if you're in florida, you stayed home in record numbers when hillary clinton ran for president. are you going to stay at home to not vote against donald trump? >> well, you would hope not, but you know who knows? i mean, what he's done is though he continually focuses on the third of the population of this country. his base. he has no interest in expanding his base. so whateve

they laughed at donald trump.dy knew -- i have gone around the country and you talk to really rich people, they laugh at donald trump. they know he wasn't a billionaire. they know it was all a joke. he knows it too. there's legitimacy cries inside of him and bottomless pits of need inside of him and right now it's filled by his base because they worship him. and he wants what obama had but he will never have it. he wants to be the affirmative action president. like that job i should have gotten, that person should have gotten it but they were black. he wants us but he can't have us. >> that's for sure. >> this book is amazing. congratulations. >> thank you, thank you. >> the book is "the man who sold america." go by it if you haven't already. >> still ahead, robert mueller prepares to public on capitol hill as democrats and republicans prepare for battle. e >>> there was relentless speculation in the news media about the president's personal culpability. yet as he said from the beginning there was in fact no collu

donald trump. after decades of clear evidence of racism, trump clearly knows exactly what he's saying and to whom, and as president he has consistently backed up his racist talk with policy. he's putting real racist policy on the table designed to excite racially anxious white americans and to terrify people who aren't white. so, yes, donald trump is really racist, fini. this weekend trump added to the ledger targeting four black and brown democratic congresswomen, representatives alexandria ocasio-cortez, ilhan omar, ayanna presley and rashida tlaib, to punish them for criticizing his hideous immigration policies, including locking central american men, women and children in crowded cages where they are told to drink water from the toilet. trump pulled the ultimate barbecue becky telling them they don't belong here. trump in a tweet storm told these four american congresswomen to go back to the countries from where they came from. all are born in america. one in the bronx, michigan, chicago, and o

donald trump, he believes that donald trump had payoffs from the russians. now suddenly donald trump is in power and suddenly he doesn't care that donald trump is welcoming russian interference in american democracy to subvert american democracy. jim jordan also very critical of donald trump before he came to power. so, again, those two guys appear to only sort of like dogs following the scent of power? >> i guess trump calls them -- >> he calls him steve. >> to guy who believes donald trump perhaps is corrupt, come back to that person, steve, whoever you are. >> i think his name is steve. >> the president doesn't even know your name and he's going to forget it soon. >> welcome to "morning joe." it's july 25th. >> we have willie with us every day along with mike barnicle. national affairs analyst for msnbc john heilemann, and joining the conversation, jonathan lamere. former u.s. attorney and aide to robert mueller now an nbc news law enforcement analyst, chuck rosenbe rosenberg, kasie hunt working way too many hours, and political reporter for the washingto

that's donald j. trump. >> you're continuing to conflate donald trump's criticisms of president obama versus aoc's deep and systemic criticisms of the country itself. >> well, aoc talked about the country being powerful and just and strong and wanting it to get back to that. but talked about donald trump's policies being garbage just like donald trump in 2014 said that barack obama's policies were garbage. so i guess, mika, donald trump needs to go back to scotland because that's where his mom immigrated from. >> more from chris wallace confronting stephen miller on the blatantly racial approach of the president's strategy. and disputing miller's attempt to claim that the president is merely criticizing the congresswoman on their policies. >> the president said that president obama has been the most ignorant president in our history when asked about putin, he said there are a lot of killers. you think our country is so innocent? that isn't his view, that's been sharply critical of the united states as

donald trump resents hollywood. when he got married the third time to melania, his current wife, a lot of political celebrities were there, but a lot of stars who none of them would probably admit to being there now, but his third wedding was a star-studded affair. it was the achievement of his ultimate dreams. donald trump both resents hollywood and craves them. he wants "the new york times" to love him. he wants to be getted in hollywood. he wants to be able to throw parties like barack obama used to do for the unveiling of a movie in the white house and have stars show up. he can't. and he's so angry. he can't do it. he thought, and i think in his mind if the black guy could get all of it, then so should i. and i think that he shares his basis resentment that the culture won't come to them, that the movies aren't about them, the culture won't cater to them. they want to be the center of attention again. and donald trump says, you know what, i will make you the center of attention. you're the center of my attentio

donald trump jr.g the same kind of questions. questions the president's son-in-law retweeted from an alt right online personality saying kamala harris wasn't, quote, an american black because of her ancestry. with a comment, is this true? wow. and people noticed. donald trump jr. later deleted that tweet and a spokesperson for him -- imagine that job -- later called it a misunderstanding adding this -- don's tweet was simply asking, asking if it was was true kamala harris is half indian because it's not something he have ever heard before. once he saw folks were misconstruing the intent of his tweet, he quickly deleted it. by the way, talking about kamala harris, in the last hour brand-new polling conducted over the weekend after the debates has her surging into second place, five points behind first place joe biden. joining our conversation, alicia menendez, co-host of pbs's amanpour & company. what is going on, my friend? >> oh, my goodness. so many things going on. >> i know. take your time. >> goi

donald trump praised him. at the very beginning. when he saw how the party responded to president obama, people calling him all kinds of names who were party officials and not just any old people, these were party officials calling michelle obama a monkey, he saw that and knew the republican party wanted to do their racism through dog whistles and wanted to do it through a whisper and where they could have plausible deniability. trump saw that the base wanted it out front. he saw that. he rode that wave through birtherism and continued to ride that wave, but he did not insight or bring the party along. the party was already there. >> very quick before i go back to danielle? did does he care? >> i don't think he cares. the only thing he cares about is himself. he talked about having people riot if he didn't win the election. >> this was a guy who wanted to have a black versus white apprentice for the race fight. for the democrats, the response so far is smart and unity and sticking and saying it doesn't matter what your differences a

and the cam wraz were in there at donald trump's request.d trump requested that that party and the guests at the party be filmed by nbc news. so donald trump who's a showman who's constantly producing, wanted to produce tv footage in which he appeared with jeffrey epstein. here's the interview that was part of that taping. >> who are your friends and who are your enemies? >> i have learned a lot, i have to tell you. i am going to be writing a book. i don't even know why i'm on the show except we want to get you good ratings. >> how generous. [ laughter ] >> and you're going to get big ratings. >> tell the rest of the story, though. i saw you at the celebrity chef dinner. and you kissed me on the lips in front of the paparazzi. i said that'll cost you, i'm booking you on the show. [ laughter ] [ applause ] true story, correct? >> the kiss was so good and it was so open and nice. she is a fabulous woman. >> so open and nice? what! >> her husband is a handsome devil. but i think he had his back turned at the time. so we had a good time. >> u hc

donald trump is a rolling crisis.re so much of the stupid human tricks he does where no one gets hurt. we started this show with a democratic congresswoman concerned about the safety of the lives of the women he attacked and everywhere. on this landscape and in this field, is there any sense from voters do they want to see how these candidates engage trump or do voters in the field really want to get back to policy. >> reporter: it's an interesting point. i don't mean to minimize what's going on here and the base level the president dropped the national discussion. the main reason i look at a different patriotism, people look how kamala harris changed them on the national debate stage and close their eyes and envision donald trump on the debate stage, there is a value how they would deal with his domination of media coverage. that's one of a set of skills, not necessarily the thing democratic primary voters say, look how they responded to trump incident y and will be committed to caucus six or sevennous. >> weigh in o

donald trump is the gop. donald trump is the head of the republican party.nning -- all of the policies that donald trump is putting in place, your party 100% is standing behind him on whether it's the children in cages which violates all kinds of laws and maybe the geneva convention. they're behind him on tariffs which are destroying people's farms and ranches, destroying their lives. they're behind him on everything he does even if he's saying i'm going to ignore the supreme court. if no one is quit over that, charlottesville, nothing else, does the guy get credit for saying he has some principle? at some point he says enough. >> he totally gets credit for being his own man and standing up for things that he doesn't believe in or agree with, but to quit the party. the party is not the -- the republican party platform is not donald trump. it's a platform -- >> but it is. yes, it is. it is donald trump. it is 100% donald trump. it's whatever he wants, he does it. whatever donald trump wants, that's the platform. >> but he ran under the gop label. the gop didn

i strike them as donald trump's instincts. robert costa appropriately corrected that to what did he know and when did he know it. can you speak from the perspective of somebody who investigated criminals like epstein and associates, what are you looking for in the coming days and weeks on this story? >> this sort of ongoing investigation is incredibly important as you pointed out. there's a through line to the president's own conduct. i wish i was optimistic that reporting that lended credibility to the notion that the president was fully aware of epstein's conduct would matter but so much of this was baked in. the president was on videotape talking about a graphic sexual assault prior to the election. there's been very little coverage of recent -- more recent allegations of a rape that took place in a new york department store. so it's hard to see how this impacts the president personally but there is an interesting legal hook, nicolle, which is the stat sheet epstein was indicted under is a statute that has an internal obstr

thank you, donald trump. you have just unified the democratic party that understands you're the party of that 35% may or may not be or identify with you as a racist and the rest of us -- and here's where democrats' strength is, is in their diversity, in their numbers, in the women. i think that that's the winning message going in to 2020. >> make no mistake, this is the play from this white house. the president, tim said it, it's about the base. it's about fighting this election on the same terms as the last election. they can echo these things whether it's dog whistles or fog horns but they can sound these notes and energize people to come out and turn out for the president. this is a fight he wants. last week the discussion of the so-called squad, if you will, congresswomen of color, dominated tucker carlson's show on fox news at night. the president last friday in the south lawn teased this attack a little bit, suggesting he sort of stepped in and tried to defend speaker pelosi saying, look, she should be

acosta, of course, has a tie to donald trump.re's never -- forget about six degrees of separation, there are always only about two. >> and building on eiran's poin, nicolle, if he thought trafficking was a problem, if he thought modern slavery was something that should be prosecuted, should be outlawed, he would have fired acosta from the moment this story was revealed by the miami press organizations, or i should say the except of ttent of the stor revealed. we already kind of understand the vetting of the story miss this, we get this. we get a lot of incompetent, unqualified and problematic individuals came into the administration. but now that the president has in the clear light of day all of this new information late out by his own justice department in these new charges, he should relieve acosta of his job. >> i'm going to ask you, and i will ask you what "fox & friends" asked their guests, do you think acosta -- i just don't see what the vehicle will be for pushing acosta out. there's nothing about the story so far that se

donald, donald, donald, you should know that unlike almost every other member of congress elijah goes to his district every single night. he lives with the community that he serves. he's there for the good and he's there for the bad. there's more good than you would ever care to learn or know about. things like empowering minority owned businesses, working with faith based leaders, inner city educators and helping seniors in need. we have seen it and heard about it first hand. but elijah cummings has also been there through the bad times and he's been braver than you, donald. braver than most. like in may of 2008 where a botched robbery had left a man repeatedly stabbed as he was taking his pregnant wife to the hospital to give birth. congressman cummings got down and aided that victim in the last minutes of his life. elijah said he held the man's head in his arms. and he tried to keep him from sitting up to stop the bleeding. the man was struggling to check on his wife and making sure his unborn son was okay. cummings later said it was a struggle for life so intense that i felt my ow

that's why we need four more years of president donald trump.more years means more jobs, more judges, and more support for our troops. and it's going to take four ore years to drain that swamp. [cheers and applause] you know, the choice in this election couldn't be clearer and the stakes couldn't be higher. today, we have a president who loves this country, who stands by our military and men and women in uniformat every level. he never quits. he never backs down. he believes in you, and he fights for you every day. it's true. the other party -- the other party's increasingly led by left-wing liberals who criticize this country, demean those who wear the uniform and openly advocate an economic system that will impoverish millions. well, the people of north carolina know it was freedom, not socialism, that made america the strongest and most prosperous nation in the history of the world. [cheers and applause] the moment america becomes a socialist country is the moment america ceases to be america. so we must say with one voice, as president trump

so it wasn't like we were all cool with donald trump. we were nothing with donald trump. it was like if i guy walked in here right now and was the head of the circus at madison square garden, you know, i might like him or not like him but nobody took him that seriously. you would say to him, oh, can i have that seat or something. donald trump was not a player. nobody was running to him if they were running to office in new york saying i need your endorsement. nobody was saying i need a photograph with you. he was not that kind of figure until birtherism. >> i want to say to you, karine, i think as i look at -- we know trump is a master of distraction, right? >> yep. >> he likes to, he gets in these fights to make you look away from whatever the more important thing is we should be looking at. he went after the squad. he regards them as he sees from his point of view, he looks at them and says they're divisive of the democratic party. there was a fight between him and pelosi. maybe i could drive a wedge in the democratic parties. he looks at sharpton, who has been a contro

and donald trump knew.ald trump knew, as he said publicly at the time, that jeffrey epstein pursued girls "on the younger side." today the president expressed sympathy not for the girls who jeffrey epstein is accused of sexually abusing, but for alex acosta, who was the federal prosecutor in florida who made a very forgiving deal with jeffrey epstein over ten years ago on similar charges, a deal that meant jeffrey epstein served no federal prison time. alex acosta is now donald trump's labor secretary. >> i feel very badly, actually, for secretary acosta because i've known him as being somebody that works so hard and has done such a good job. i feel very badly about that whole situation. >> and back with us, mimi rocah and zerlina maxwell. zerlina, he feels very badly for alex acosta. >> he either seems to always side with the person accused of rape or somebody covering up a crime. that's backwards. we should have our empathy placed squarely with the victims in this case who were very young and all of whom

neal katyal is one of the lawyers that got donald trump to surrender by beating donald trump in the unitedhe census case, and he joins us now. neal katyal is former@solicitor general in the obamaings in and an msnbc legal contributor. and neal, i have to bring you up to date on the breaking news, at 10:33 p.m., just minutes ago, the president has tweeted again on this. he said, a very sad time for america when the supreme court of the united states won't allow a question of is this person a citizen of the united states to be asked on the 2020 census going on for a long time. i have asked the department of commerce and the department of justice to do whatever is necessary to bring this most vital of questions and this very important case to a successful conclusion. and then for some inexplicable reason, he says "usa" three times. apparently no one has told the president that the case has reached a successful conclusion. >> yeah, it's a thoroughly odd tweet. and it's very similar to the tweet he issued last week when he lost at the supreme court. that was a really resounding loss, lawrence.

el presidente donald trump desestima reporte de su propio gobierno test >> en dos meses en mÉxico lecerrÓ los pasos a estados unidos a mÁs de 20.000 migrantes al arrestarlos en su frontera con centroamÉrica. y el departamento de justicia dijo que aÚn busca una vÍa para incluir la pregunta sobre ciudadanÍa en el censo, aunque los cuestionarios ya fueron enviados. comienza la ediciÓn nocturna. >> este es un noticiero univisiÓn edición nocturna con enrique acevedo y patricia yangel. >> quÉ tal ? bienvenidos. el presidente donald trump encendiÓ una polÉmica sobre las deplorables condiciones en los centros de detenciÓn para indocumentados con duros comentarios hacia los inmigrantes. equivaliÓ en su cuenta de twitter que los inmigrantes viven mejor y mÁs seguros en esos centros que en sus paÍses de origen. agregÓ, que si no estÁn conforme, deberÍan advertirle que no vengan. ademÁs, advirtiÓ que los agentes fronterizos no deberÍan cuidar de ellos porque no son mÉdicos ni enfermeras. pablo gato nos tiene mÁs. pablo: donald trump defendiÓ la condiciÓn en la que estÁn los inmigrantes en los ce

and got to give donald trump credit. actions speak louder than words.he statute you didn't see is billions of dollars going into black communities because of opportunities with ben carson and donald trump. not just that but 31/2 million african americans are off food stamps and now working. that is where we need to get to as the black community and i could go on and on with these policies, talk about historical black colleges, the former slave population, former slave population in america is the poorest, sickest and most uneducated group of people in america but liberal politicians want to talk about border crisis and letting more illegal immigrants come -- we have a former slave population that is still hurting and it is just not right, not okay. go into the neighborhoods in east cleveland, terrible crime rates. baltimore is like a war zone, chicago, talking dozens of black people killing each other because of systematic issues and something has to change and we got to wake up every single one of our urban areas is run by democratic leaders, there is

now, anybody who voted for donald trump.edia is going to be able to make that excuse. >> study shows it motivated trump's base with racial. people are uncomfortable saying i. each time as donald trump does it, it is a quan do you follow ? half of his supporters are what hillary clinton unwisely. the dough pleplorables are raci. there are 65% of the american public say this stuff is unacceptable and it is wrong and racist. 15% or 20% in there, those are the people who need to be spoken to now. you may not be racist but your vote in 2020 is saying i condone this and i accept it is free to be openly racist. >> we always think of the voters as pristine and glorious person, right. >> there are people who'll openly vote for racism. and suggest to be okay with racism and not racist is really hard. if you are saying yes, i understand this person says derogatory things all the time, he's doing something great for me. it is interesting because there was this anthropological security. this week you saw reporters invite members of congr

the ability of whomever the nominee is to defeat donald trump, but also to take on donald trump.hink it's early, willie. it is early. we are just in late july. and so there's much time. i think kamala harris or cory booker or elizabeth warren or the other candidates have time to try to make up this difference but what this reflects is joe biden is a well known commodity. someone with whom people have worked with, a part of the obama administration. and that long history and that sense that on day one he's ready to be president is what i think is helping him in the polls. as well as his personal style. i have said this and i have worked with many of the candidates. joe biden has this unique quality, i have seen it at play where he is as comfortable talking to a group of truck drivers or firefighters as he is in an african-american church or at someone's kitchen table. it's not with joe biden simply about issues but it's also about leadership style. i think voters are assessing not just hard issues. they're evaluating that, but they're also evaluating leadership style. i think a ka

"all in" right now with joy reid sitting in for chris hayes. >>> tonight on "all in" -- >> so the first note that i want to tell children across this country is that no matter what the president says, this country belongs to you. >> four freshmen congresswomen respond to racist attacks from the president. >> it is time for us to stop allowing this president to make a mockery out of our constitution. >>> tonight, the political firestorm over donald trump's racist politics and policy. >> does it concern you that many people saw that tweet as racist and that white nationalist groups are finding common cause with you on that point? >> it doesn't concern me because many people agree with me. >>> and how democratic leadership is responding to the president's attacks. >> weak minds and leaders challenge loyalty to our country in order to avoid challenging and debating the policy. >>> then -- >> we all know that aoc and this crowd are a
