my name is george whiting. the first one i wanted to make is i think the expansion and the demolition part of this legislation should be bifurcated. i think the demolition aspect is quite good. the city needs a clean, clear demolition. for everyone. it's very confusing to me as a regular citizen, not a lawyer, not a land architect. i read it four times, i have four different conclusions about what i just read. what i think gives me the biggest problem is it is suppose to be to create more density. but what i do see happening is you're taking regular homes, based on f.a.r., for area ratio, for residential housing was never based on floor area ratio in the past, and the staff, for planning, has made egregious errors in f.a.r. they have a history of this. so i don't necessarily trust what they are doing. [bell ringing] but what they are also doing, they're adding a.d.u.s to these f.a.r.s. and that -- what that does is it means each home can be much different size, because they don't count the square footage of the

been established in 1790, the white house grounds constitute the oldest continually maintained landscape in the nation. the grounds are older than the mansion itself. george washington is famously the only president to have never lived in the white house. but every single u.s. president, including washington, has walked upon the grounds. this is what they look like today. sloping lawns and growth of ground trees. that said, this is not what the grounds look like in 1790. anita mcbride alluded to that. for one thing, the south grounds originally stopped here. basically where this roadway is. it stopped there for about the first eight decades of the grounds existence. the far south grounds were not added until 1872 under president grant. the southerly addition was to compensate for the loss of land and the east of west be by the expansion of executive offices. that is the treasury building, and the state war and navy building which today is called the eisenhower executive office. so, yeah, as i was saying, the white house grounded not always a quite as nice as they do today. in the great rush to complete the white house before president john adams moved in

with us white house reporter with the associated press, former aid to the george w. princeton university. we have a lot to talk about. a new week kicks off with several developing stories. iran continues to test trump and the west by seizing a british oil tanker. plus bob mueller finally faces congress on wednesday. who will lash out the hardest the republicans or the democrats? we'll look at the kinds of questions that may be asked. also, the latest on the political turmoil gripping puerto rico. new polling shows kamala harris right in the thick of it in iowa. we begin with president trump questioning the patriotism of four minority congresswomen who he told to go back to their home countries declaring them irredeemable. trump tweeted, i don't believe the four congresswomen are capable of loving our country. they should apologize to america and israel for the horrible hateful things they have said. they are destroying the democratic party but are weak and insecure people who can never destroy our great nation. also this weekend, president trump shared a defense of t

i'm joined by elise jordan, former aid to george w. bush white house and a contributor to "time" magazine and joel payne, democratic strategist. elise, it's interesting. you know the newspaper world, are very careful about language that's personal and is a little too ethnic. now we have nbc news i believe believes that the language by the president is in fact racist, is willing to use the word. all these newspapers. this is not fake news. this is an alignment of newspaper editors, all in their separate souls that this is unamerican and unacceptable language by a president. your thoughts? >> you look at the government's handbook on what constitutes racism and literally telling someone to, quote, go back to their country is an example given. of course this is racism. newspapers and those of news the media need to call this what it is, and donald trump made a racist statement, and there is no need to parse words when it comes down who to what he actually said. >> and i think -- i think, joe, when you tell people of color to go back to where they cam

i have one of those hearings the director of the cia george tenet brought with him 3 white folders where materials about the some 550 sites in iraq where allegedly there were weapons of mass destruction i asked tenet where did we get all this information and the answer is we got it from. the exiles who did we the united states of america have on the ground to see if in fact what was said in these exile provided information packets was accurate and the answer was 0. the exiles and the pentagon collaborate and transforming mere allegations into official policy. the collective effort by all those groups involved became a fabrication that became the policy of the united states and it was used to justify a war. further information was provided by friendly nations. in rome a dossier from the italian military secret service sees me arrives at the american embassy. it eludes to a secret sale of uranium to iraq by name. the german secret service offers its support as well. it provides the americans with revelations made by an iraqi defector code name curveball he claims baghdad is making biologic

the white sentence that the person who shot harvey milk and george -- moscone received, that resulted in the white night riots, when people were just coming forth with fury and frustration at the lack of attention toward the death of this pioneering figure in lgbtq history. >>> in this case, we have artifacts from tammy baldwin and barney frank, pioneering lgbtq congressperson's. tammy baldwin in 1998 was the first openly woman elected to congress. this was the red suit she wore when she was elected to the red wisconsin legislature. we have a newsweek magazine featuring barney frank on it. he had served three terms as congressman in massachusetts before he came out as being a person. the citizens of massachusetts reelected him several more times. and after he left office, he married his longtime partner, jim ready. this is a button that they handed out at their wedding. >> we are going to walk around the corner and explore the story of lgbtq activist fighting for the right to serve in the military. in 1974, leonard -- was a sergeant in the air force. he was a decorated vietnam war vet

joining me now is elise jordan, former aide in the george w. bush whiteouse and former democratic congresswoman donna edwards. donna, first to you. do you think the president actually is worried about his reelection? >> well, i think that he must be. if you look at when he launches these attacks, they come at critical moments when things are challenging his administration. the mueller hearings, the jeffrey epstein arrests, the subpoenas that were issued by the congressional committees. and i think that he views this as a strategy. i mean, he has only one choice. he's losing college educated white women. he's now losing blue collar white women. the only thing he has left are the racist white men who remain in support of the president. he's going after them. >> he was asked exactly that, whether this is a strategy when he was leaving for williamsburg yesterday and this was his answer. >> what are you talking about by political strategy? are you talking with respect to elijah cummings? i have no strategy. zero strategy. all it is i'm pointing out facts. >> e

we have msnbc contributor, mike barnicle, former aid to the george w. bush whitedepartment, elise jordan. former treasury official, steve ratner, and nbc news capitol hill, and host of caskasie dc, msnbc contributor, karine jean-pierre. let's begin with what happened on capitol hill. >> it was a dramatic evening in the house, and it centered around comments that pelosi went to the floor to make, and considering how specific the rules are in the house which joe knows very well, it's important to point out, she was calling the president's tweets racist, she was not labeling the man himself a racist, but that did not stop republicans from insisting that she had broken the rules of decorum of the house, and asking for a ruling, and, you know, you saw at the end of the remarks she made, they started yelling over her. she started turning over and yelling at them back, and she actually said that she had cleared her remarks with the parliamentarian, the person who makes decisions about what's within the rules and what's not beforehand. but in the end, the parliamentarian

the artwork depicts the life of george washington but also shows white pioneers standing over the bodya native american man as well as african slaves working at washington's mount vernal estate. critics describe the mural as a painful image. >> it is a racist mural. my history should not be racist, but it is. why do we have to explain the pain caused by the visual offense that we see in that building that is supposed to be an institution for learning? >> not in a museum, it's in titus school. our students all of them deserve better. >> but supporters say mural serves as an important reminder of our nation's history. >> the mural tells the story of the conquest and colonization of the united states, including the genocide of native americans. >> they need to know the history. have it in our states. >> we should be teaching about the mural and what it means. i, as a half native american indian, see no problem with the mural. it depicts what happened. >> these two topics go so well together. >> dean: they do. >> carley: is this another example of history horrific, disgusting. is it an exa

white house reporter for the "l.a. times" and a former federal prosecutor, former democratic senator from the state of missouri, also a former prosecutor. former aide to the george w. bush white house and "time" magazine contributor and a former spokesperson for the house oversight committee and msnbc news contributor. senator, it is the day after. what is the next move for democrats? >> well, i think what nancy pelosi is trying to convey which is very important is there is still evidence they don't have. the white house is stone walling. i think they really need to turn up the heat and get these cases into court. the contempt of the witnesses that would bring don mcgahn in front of them, you know, that's the argument some are making for opening an impeachment inquiry because it strengthens their hand legally to get around executive privilege. so in other words, the courts would be more likely to give them all the information they are seeking if it was under the impeachment inquiry as opposed to just committee work. >> what do you think they should do? >> maybe open the inquiry and make it clear that is why they're doing it, so they can get all the information t

along with joe, willie and me, we have msnbc contributor mike barnable, former aide to the george w. bush white elise jordan, former treasury official and "morning joe" economic analyst, steve ratner, and senior news correspondent, kim atkins. >> i don't see what the problem is. every time we have nobel peace prize winning economists, we tell them, let's arm

white house. he was the perfect conduit. last month george nader was arrested yet again on yet another round of child pornography charges and today in federal court in the eastern district of virginia he was formally indicted on those charges. he had a tent tiff trial date set. we learned prosecutor haves now added that charge of child sex trafficking dating back to the year 2000, that allegation of nader bringing in a 14-year-old boy to abuse him. in today's hearing nader's team -- it was in the year 2000, it was therefore too long ago to be charged with that crime. the prosecution signalled they have some sort of work around in terms of why they still think they can charge george nader with that everyone though it happened so long ago. the prosecution signalled today in court that at least one of their witnesses who they'll call to provide evidence against george nader is somebody who speaks the czech language, so presumably that means there may be some nexus to the still somewhat child abuse charges for which nader was convicted in 2003, b

white house reporter for the associated press, jonathan lemire. former aide to the george w. bush white house and state department elise jordan and the president of the national action network, reverend al sharpton. great to have you all. there's a lot already happening on this monday morning. joe biden apologizes for how he described his past work with segregationist senators. but reminds everyone of his record serving with president obama. billionaire convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein will appear in manhattan federal court today, arrested over the weekend in connection with what law enforcement officials say are federal sex trafficking allegations. iran is about to breach another limit, set by the 2015 nuclear deal. newly leaked memos reveal the british ambassador sees president trump as inept, insecure and incompetent. a major shakeup by the justice department and its ongoing legal battle to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. >> and ignore the united states supreme court by doing that it. >> and that. and then this. a record fourth world cup title for the u

taylor, i know you worked under george w bush in the white house, you're now editor of roughlyexplained.comund, it's come to something, hasn't it that we have to seriously discuss whether the president of the united states is racist, white nationalists, white supremacist, is a fascist? yes, there is an important distinction here, fascist have a plan, donald trump is having it upfor have a plan, donald trump is having it up for the audience and its getting out of control. he woke up this week and not strategically deciding to stir all this up, he woke up on the wrong side of the bed. he was mad and is impulsive and he sent a tweet out, that's what i think happened. but this kind of stuff works for him because his base, his supporters really love it when he is in the middle of a fight, when he is in the middle of a fight, when he is angering the liberal media and the liberals in the country and when his politically incorrect, that's what they like about him, the lichen because he is about him, the lichen because he is a brawler. there's a problem isn't there? his having it up, this is what he

. >> joining our conversation, elise jordan, former aid in the george w. bush white statement department. jeremy and ron are back. ron, we should mention, is an adviser to the biden campaign. i will let you start. what was former vice president's biden's objective today and did he achieve it? >> i think so, nicolle. look, the objective was to put foreign policy front and center in the campaign. you and i have both been in politics in the white house. we know foreign policy is never a big split issue but often the most important thing a president handles. we think having a reckoning on the trump foreign policy, on the fundamental issue when the world is divided between free nations and unfree nations, it seems donald trump is batting for the other team way too of on. i think vice president biden today laid out his vision, i think laid out his values about what the country should stand for, what we should believe, both here at home and overseas, and i think he did that very effectively. >> let me put up what he laid out from a policy perspective. return of the press br

you did a lot of debate prep when you are at the george w bush white house.ders. probably about ten candidates who are really in danger of not qualifying for the september debate. it is difficult because you don't get much time in these debates. you certainly don't. particularly when i was working with governor keith nick and mitt romney with their presidential bids, when you're starting off and you're low in the polls, you try to find a way of what can i say, how can i get my candidate to get more time and attention on the camera to introduce themselves to the american people, so themselves to the american people, sol themselves to the american people, so i would expect some of the people you have mentioned, who are the lower tier, to try to punch up and engage the front runner so they will get more interaction and more airtime. i want you to have a listen to this, there is an advert running either side of the debate paid for by the american philanthropist tom sayer. and what about total exoneration? that you actually totally exonerate the president? no. is

let's bring in former white house secretary for president george w. bush and fox news contributor ari fleischer. ari, this just deepened in terms of a topic. >> yes, it's a donnybrook, isn't it? i don't think this is complicated, harris. everything he said, it's an arguable issue, it's a fair fight, go after those four. they provide plenty of fodder for the president and republicans. i just don't think anybody in american politics should challenge people from the basis of where they are from. which is essentially with the president did. i thought his tweet went too far. the vulnerability of twitter in the hands of a counter punter, we can go too far. when he said today is a force of a different color. >> harris: how so? >> because he went after them mostly on policy. his remarks talked about the anti-semitic things that some of these congresswomen have said. socialist excitement. >> harris: let me ask you to pause right there. if that's the case, and you can see these things on record from congresswoman omar, for minnesota. you can see these things on

isn't that the avenues, the area where i went to high school, george washington and predominantly white? you come up here and you want these millions of dollars and talking about you have rehabilitation centers and peer counselling in an area that's predominantly white and everybody is living there is in high income brackets. you are giving us no statistics on the amount of people that's coming into your system and the amount of people that's coming out of your system, and the results that you are getting from the people that you're claiming that you are helping. from the beginning of the first goddamned day of that contract you have not had one demonstration on the type of results that you're getting but you keep coming in here and getting millions of dollars. is that clear? that supervision and management and the tax dollars going to work that ain't getting no goddamned results pertaining to helping people who are most vulnerable and homeless out in the goddamned street. you have 8,011 people that's homeless. in fact, it turns out that it's 30% more because you wasn't counting the peo

george w. bush and white house state department, elise jordan. the rest of the panel still here.me ask you about this, i thought that line we just played from warren was interesting last night. i wonder how this plays against democratic primary voters? she's coming under criticism of some more left voters and your critique basically amounts to aiding and abetting donald trump and his strategy, is that something democratic voters are sensitive to now? >> i don't think it's hard for those who are inclined to support the moderate candidates. everybody who is not joe biden is happy to take on donald trump. everyone who doesn't have electability and ability to beat donald trump quality -- this is what i hear across the board. our vulnerability is we don't think we can beat him. kamala harris, i can take on joe biden. i can take on donald trump. elizabeth warren saying my strength is i make the moral argument, and i will make the moral argument i'm the one to take him on. i think that's what people are doing. i don't think it means you run the risk -- i think the voters are skeptical w

michaeljohns — was a white house speechwriter for president george h bush — he's also co—founder andhiladelphia. what does a committed republican make of the hearing? it certainly reiterated. now the step that needs to be taken is to have the department ofjustice engaged as to how such a false narrative and allegation could ever assumed our country for well over two years. and in serious questions into the origin of allegations, particularly in the uk andi of allegations, particularly in the uk and i think it came out today. and the role that he potentially played in launching these allegations. we are entering the 2.0 phase and the president has been exonerated. and now the issue of these allegations emerge in the first base. in some cases imprisoned, and obstruction of justice, in some cases imprisoned, and obstruction ofjustice, you read the report, you have heard robert mueller, he did not clear the president. he said, i cannot make a traditional prosecutorialjudgement on this, it is not up to the criminal justice system on this, it is not up to the criminaljustice system to indi

george w. bush or jimmy carter, whoever it is, they go into the white house thinking wait a second, everybody was h.w. bush, one of the most humble men in the white house once asked an adviser when he was losing in 1992, if you're so gd smart, why aren't you president? so donald trump because of james comey's letter, because of a lot of different things got elected in a once-in-a-lifetime anomaly. and he thinks that he can play that game again. but what he is doing is by being racist, by attacking these individual members of congress, he's chasing off the suburban voters. he is chasing off women. he is chasing off voters who -- remember, i think i saw it on your show last night. he was very proud that they stayed at home. that black voters stayed at home and didn't vote for hillary clinton. >> yes. >> well, guess what? guess what? they're going to be mobilized. people of color are going to be mobilized, and donald trump is going to pay for it. so it's really shortsighted. i don't understand why he is doing it. and anybody that thinks that's going to help him win the suburbs of philly have never b

all of a sudden today cares about israel and anti-semitism tripled down on a white supremacist conspiracy theory saying george soros funded the caravan of invaders, rapists and criminals. >> that comes from the white supremacist theory swamp. >> that has now been mainstreamed. let's not forget the christ's church killer in new zealand left behind a manifesto repeating this talking point. he said donald trump is a renewed symbol of white identity and shares a common purpose with him. there is going to be trickling down. he knows it. >> on the election when he had all of a sudden amnesia who david duke was, when he referred to him in the past flirting for presidency if 2000. he knew dam well who david duke was. he knows these are racist tropes. he doesn't care, then you don't belong here. in his make america great again, donald trump claims she a patriot. he is not. he hates this country. he hates what america stands for. he hates the diversity. he hates freedom. he hates everything he dits dissent. he hates the people who shed blood for the freedom of us to be able to dissent. i don't agree with anything that

george: david, busing and brought whites and blacks together again in their common opposition to busingout 4% of whites supported it, it percent of african-americans. nobody wanted their children bussed away from their neighborhood schools. ht theirften boug homes to be close to a playcular school, all to to the whims of the judiciary. you, johngree with marshall being the third greatest american, our chief justice of the supreme court. does that stand up today when partisanship has really infiltrated, in my view, the supreme court? look at the confirmation process. george: the confirmation process clearly has been politicized. to give the current chief justices do, i think john roberts is working very hard to avoid as many 5-4 decisions as can be avoided, and to be as unpredictable as possible so that you cannot simply project the outcomes by looking at the presidents who appointed particular justices. i think it will succeed. one of the most interesting arguments today is not between aggressive's and conservatives but among conservatives. between those that have the traditional conser

my parents, my mom watched in black and white on tv with george wallace with accusations of communism and the same bigotry and hate. my mom watched it in black and white and now millions saw it in full color. i know there are a lot of policy issues to discuss, but this is an issue of values and it's a referendum on our country and who we are and who we are going to be to each other. this is a choice we have to make in this country. are we going to find common ground and common cause or allow someone to rip us apart using the knife of racism to cut at the fabric of this country. >> you are a senator and represent those people that run the gambit of political views. some of them like you and hate you and some in between. i think about the project for the next american president trying to stitch the country back together. what would you, cory booker, presidential candidate, maybe nominee, maybe the president of the united states say to the people in that room that you represent them. what do you want to tell them? >> want you to know that one of the main reasons i'm running in this elect

speech writer a of president truman, george, i used to have him to lunch at the white house and he wanted to talk about what i was doing and i wanted to talk about what he was doing in the 1940's and 50's. said,merous times, george the president talks too much. he did not mean president bush. he meant a 20th century president. he said truman go days and days, sometimes weeks, without giving a speech. said, i would like to go back to that. [laughter] there is the weekly radio address, the weekly speed bump in the speechwriter's office. [laughter] is, just given the it is theis -- that presidency and we lived in an age where you can go on all forms of media, it is going to be used by the president had white house staff, and i think speeches are very important, if for no other reason that there are moments where you need to find exactly what you want to say and say it in the best way you know how. and the only way to do that is through concentrated discipline, effort, and it does not mean you cannot do the other things, but this will always be important, just because of the posture of the of

he worked in the george h.w. bush whiteident george w. bush. you see him there at the podium dealing with contentious press in those days. of course, there is the fist clinched in the air when he left the white house and it's really remarkable. his children now kendall the eldest who is out in california working on video games. video game creator. robby his is on the middle child there is in atlanta. is he a filmmaker now pursuing the film industry and chrissy, his youngest in greenville, north carolina working as well. you know, he really embodied what it meant to rise above the rancor and partisanship of washington and was really always thinking forward on how progress could be made. ains dana perino was appointed to take over, right, after he died. i was on the couch anchor "fox & friends," it was a weekend, i believe, when he passed away. and president bush 41 called in and said i heard about the news watching your show. and then barbara bush got on the phone and talked to us. i was just blown away by that they were in

george wallace, the most effective opponents were southerners, white southerners who said no, no, no, we've got to not go down this path of rebel rousing and demagogue rousing, pat buchanan, george w. bush helped expel him from the republican party, and other republicans fought against him. it's really important, if you think this is really dangerous what trump is doing, and i think it undoubtedly is, a kind of divisive and bigoted demagoguery that could do serious damage to the country, to our politics and our society, it's very important the republicans step up. i hope they're watching right now, you know, it's a little tough vote for them to take politically. i know that more than just a handful do the right thing on the house floor. >> i have heard you criticize the president before. what i haven't heard in quite strong terms is you criticize other republicans. the want to be demagogues trying to curry favor by lamely echoing their most great leader, they're more on than the president hims. >> i read tweets pathetically trying to suck up to the president trying to echo him. it's o

white house in 1992. facing off against president george h.w. bush. the democratic challenger bill clinton. >> i have lived the american dream. i came from a modest background, nobody has been luckier than i have been. >> reporter: he grew up in texico to texas in the depression era. his first job was delivering newspapers on the back of a pony. perrault's served in the navy and the mccamey top salesman for ibm. he later founded electronic data systems and sold the computer services company in 1984. earning billions. >> candidate is ross perot. the issue? is the national debt. perrault got into the 1992 presidential race on a platform of balancing the budget and ending the outsourcing of u.s. jobs. clinton won the election and some republicans blamed perrault forbush's loss. he'd had 19% of the vote, the largest percentage ever for a third-party candidate. and then ran again in 1996. perrault received a special award for the government administration in 2009 for his work on veterans issues. he continued to speak out against unchecked federal spending.

george w. bush issue at that point because it was white house counsel harriet meyers invoking it, judge john bates, a george w. bush appointee said it's nonsense and doesn't exist. so they can try to use fictitious invocations of privilege to stop the hope hicks and mane even the don mcgahns. now they're desperate because they can't stop these private citizens from coming in and talking about the substance of the report. know what? they don't have to put any bells and whistles on it. if they talk only about what we see in the 448 pages, that's a great start in exposing what the administration has done. >> turning to experts right here into new york, jason, how did you think it looks. >> the key is they're more concerned about these private sessions than they are with mueller. mueller has already said i'm not going to say anything beyond the report. it's frustrating because i think that has allowed this administration to be as aggressive. why -- mueller's great till he's got to be great. when he has to be great in front of anybody, he says i'm not going to say anything besides is the report. he sho

today's presentation, presidential involvement in the design and planting of the white house gardens goes back to george washington's selection of the site for the presidents house in 1790. the original 82 acre plot was larger than most american farms at the time. it included what is today's lafayette park, the white house grounds, and more. the vistas to the north and south werepresidents have contio make their mark on the landscape throughout the history of the white house. taken asidents have personal interest in the landscape as if it were their own backyard. some presidents approach the gardens and grounds with unique skill. jimmy carter for example had an engineering background, which he used to design a treehouse for 10-year-old amy in 1977. the national park service built this structure to his specifications and installed it in a large cedar on the southwest line. it was freestanding so there was no impact on the cedar. still later in the carter administration, the national park service had determined a maintenance structure near the tennis court had to be demolished. it had originally served as
