e.j.: think there is some of that. long-term effect of this e-mail scandal could be interesting. e.j.: talk about bad luck for hillary clinton. wikileaks, where the clinton people went to the issue of the russians did this. of theens up the issue issue of the pro-putin ukrainians. it is a very weird inversion of the cold war. now you have trump and the far right that are close to putin. this is only the beginning. amy: he is pushing this narrative that he is cozy with putin. this russian threat of the dnc hack needs into the narrative she -- he is that pathetic -- he is sympathetic. the scare factor. e.j.: hillary had an interesting adware the tagline was ace that he hand at an unsteady time. you will see this interesting argument about feelings. do you want somebody who sounds tough and strong, or brush versus somebody who is steady and in control. she can win that argument with trump. he is counting on this appearance of strength. steadiness gets a lot of votes. says -- he can point to certain things. he always bring

e.j.? >> it was a perfect hit. perfectly flat. >> jimmy: e.j. with a perfect 10. aunt chippy? drowned me. i'm soaking wet. >> jimmy: how do you feel? dulles it sting? >> i feel great. >> jimmy: we will continue with the flopping and crown our top flopper later on. we will be right back with kristen bell. so stick around. i survived breast cancer. if the doctors hadn't caught it early i might not be sitting here. so i'm outraged that pat toomey voted to defund planned parenthood... ...which thousands of pennsylvania women depend on for cancer screenings. pat toomey was even willing to shut down the federal government to eliminate funding for planned parenthood. shut down the government over planned parenthood? i think we ought to shut down pat toomey. women vote is responsible for the content of this advertising. fios is not cable. we're wired differently. so we wired the wagner's house with 100 meg internet. which means that in the time it takes mr. wagner to pour a 20 oz. cup of coffee, tommy can download 30 songs, and jan can upload 120 photos. 12 seconds. that's the power o

don't smoke this. >> right. >> but nevertheless as e.j. reporters we have to follow up on it. what i would say is this is a perfect discussion to have in front of that building right there. i wrote a book about political history. the founders in there did not think that men were angels, but they thought they were capable of rational discourse, and they wanted to design a system that would entrap people in the idea of rational discourse. for that, as e.j. says as you say, you need facts. donald trump doesn't do that. the other thing is that they feared both the mob and the monarchy equally. what the founders who were there did not realize -- and there's no way they could -- that the combination of social media and television would allow somebody to come along and attempt to combine the monarchy and the mob, and that is the danger that donald trump poses. if the founders were alive today, they would not recognize donald trump as an american candidate. they would recognize him as some guy from the french revolution or latin american dictators

when e.j.'s mom tried to explain that to the people in the restaurant, the folks in the restaurant were a little dismissive. after hearing the story, the owner of that mcdonald's decided to step in. >> i just want to reward our >> for them to actually care and understand that, you know, it hurt me. that's the blessing, because everybody is caring and considerate. helping others. >> little e.j. will now get unlimited fries for a year. golden corral has since apologized for the united states accident. they said once they learned about the boy's condition. they waived the policy but the family chose to leave. go has invited e.j.'s family back though to come in for a meal, and that meal will be on the house. >> nice to see that the managers of both restaurants stepped up. >>> debbie from long island, she heard you say earlier that long island doesn't get the bad weather. she is like, it's raining. >> it usually gets the worst weather, and today -- yesterday they didn't -- >> and you were glad for it

my dear friend roger mudd's wife, e.j. mudd, died exactly that way. and her last words when the ambulance arrived for her, her last words that roger mudd heard were "i don't want to do this." and to this day, he does not know whether she meant i don't want to go to the hospital or i don't want to die. so think about how you can make your wishes known. thank you. >> so the bill that went through or tried to, the maryland legislature last year was killed, the right to die bill or the right to choose bill, and you've talked here about the broader perspective that it's like the lgbt movement and will take a decade or two, but what specifically in maryland can people do to try and get something that's not passed several times through finally? >> well, but that's what had to happen in california. that's what had to happen -- i don't know about montana and how long that took. we have to simply keep pushing. and jamie raskin in maryland introduced it the first time. someone else did it this second time. and it went down. i have the feeling -- i may be totally

carolina and the story of a boy with autism who was turned away from a local restaurant. 6-year-old e.j. patterson was eating his favorite food, mcdonald's french fries at a golden corral with mom. they were asked to leave because the food came from outside the restaurant. when the mcdonald's owner heard, he offered them a free supply of french fries for a year. >> it's a blessing. >> she says the gift will be a big help. she says she normally spends about $200 a month at mcdonald's. >>> one woman celebrated her 80 birthday by something people her age are afraid to do. she went sky diving for the first time in sacramento. this is the way she wanting to celebrate her eight decades on earth. she said the butterflies went away once she stepped out of the plane. >> cold, and then it was just so peaceful, beautiful. i loved it. i had such a good time. >> her great granddaughter and grandson jumped before her. she says she wants to do it again for her 90th birthday. >>> tonight, botanists are baffled over why so many corpse flowers are blooming at the same time. the smelly flower opened up th

you e.j. mentioned virginia. 13 electoral votes, a battleground state. a state be that very difficult for the trump campaign to win. >> but it's not what state that the democrats took last time around. >> it suspect. but the last time, barack obama won it in 2008 and 2012. the last time the democrats won it was barry goldwater. he is also fluent in spanish. he can go into communities now and easily campaign and not appear as if he is pandering. frankly, the third thing is hillary clinton's biggest deficit right now is with white male voters. if you look at tim kaine, he is a white male. so can he help hillary clinton with that? >> the question is how much of the campaign made the calculus that they needed the white male voters more than the left wing that wanted someone like corey booker. listen to this, how he went after donald trump today. let's roll it. >> we've seen again and again that when donald trump says he has your back, you better watch out. from atlantic city to his so-called university, he leaves a trail of broken promises and wrecked lives

i'll e.j. -- oh, i should also note nbc news has not and cannot confirm any of this information.mply reporting what we hear from other news outlets as i read off of my executive producer's phone, television, live tv, ej, what do you make of all this? >> i thought all day long she was going to have to go. there are two reasons. one is the last thing you want is this story, the wikileaks dominating the news. and she now has a way of looking good and saying i didn't have anything to do with this, but i'm going to take responsibility. because you can't be messing around with somebody's religion in the democratic party. >> right. >> but also, the clinton campaign wants to turn this story to where did this come from? >> right. >> they want people to look at the links between paul manafort and the pro putin ukrainians and all that. >> yeah. >> they could not make any turn in this story as long as debbie wasserman schultz and the leak itself were the dominant news. >> and if i can request our producers sort of doing this on the fly can backup that statement from the clinton campaign that

e.j. dionne and michael steele in cleveland.ll, the biggest speech so far, of his political career. that does it for this hour. steve kornacki in new york. mtp live from cleveland starts right now. >>> good evening, i'm chuck todd in cleveland. where donald trump is about to give the most important speech of his life. wow, has it been quite the show, folks. get ready for one heck of a finale. this is special coverage for the night of the republican national convention. republican party entered cleveland hoping to showcase a united party running behind a disciplined campaign. instead, this convention's legacy is varying towards chaos unless trump can pull off the speech of his life tonight. convention marred by campaign attacks on post ohio governor

here to shed some lighting e.j., a criminal defense attorney based in atlanta.hank you so much for joining us, sir. we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> some of our viewer, of course, as we wait to find out exactly what the findings, conclusions are, they want to know what is the possibility -- what type of punishment could she be facing? what could happen next? >> well, i think it's important to parse out the politics from the law. >> right. >> if we just look at the law for a second and put the politics aside, there's really two statutes in play. executive order the obama administration has on classified information and separate from that there's the federal records act. the executive order essentially would, if properly analyzed, show that hillary clinton broke the rules. it's a rule, it's a policy, it's not a criminal law, per se. so she could be found as having broke the policy by having a private e-mail server by not securing classified information. in terms of the federal records act there's got to be an intense to really leak or distort classifi
