wasn't the gop supposed to be the party of law and order?a problem, or mega problem if you want to think about it. look, it started off as a meme, but i'm starting to think there may be something real to this dark branded thing, because when you look at how everything is really perfectly falling into place for president biden, i remember the old show "the ateam." hannibal smith would always say "i love it when a plan comes together" at the end. after two years, biden's grand plan is coming together masterfully. and this speech tomorrow night is the final piece, katie, in what i think is going to be the closing argument that biden and the democratic majority in congress is going to make to the american people before they go vote now. they've now proven undisputably that they know how to governor, that they can get big things done for america. they can tackle the economy in ruins, they can make bills around infrastructure happen. they've obviously dealt with the covid situation. and now at the end, this is where biden makes the final and perha

now the gop has been mostly silent on these threats. with a notable exception of mike pence. >> these attacks on the fbi must stop. calls to defund the fbi are just as wrong this calls to defund the police. i also want to remind my federal publicans. we can hold the attorney general accountable for the decision that he made. without attacking rank and file law enforcement personnel at the fbi. >> let's not forget pence himself has gotten death threats from those on the far right. remember the hang mike pence chance on january the 6th? look, if we look to uphold our democracy in might be time to stop appealing to the gop, to come to its better census because they're demonstrating they will not. joining now to discuss msnbc political analyst and former florida congressman david jolly democratic strategists daniel moody, who host the woke a f daily podcast. great to both of you with us. david i start with you. liz cheney, losing her primary. one of the loudest republicans to stand up to trump will be gone in just a few months from now. whe

it may look hitler or different from the national gop coalition? >> the democratic coalition of 20 years ago was in tatters, basically rural white democrats, yellow dog democrats, they been democrats for ever and urban mostly minority black democrats, voters of color in cities like atlanta and savannah and columbus . as that pattern of republicans picked up to the point now where rural counties that went 80 percent donald trump went 90 percent brian kept just two years later so republicans are basically trying to lean up every vote they can in rural parts of georgia knowing that , there's no guarantee. these are places where population is dwindling. they're going to struggle in the long-term to keep on relying on these rural counties but in the short term they feel like it's enough to keep them in power. and that's going to be a strategy of governor or david purdue or whoever ends up the republican nominee will be part of their strategy in november as wellin the suburbs of atlantahave gone not just , they bond decisively democrat . cobb county, whe

did the search of mar-a-lago boost trump's odds of being the 2024 gop nominee? i'll give you the results at the end of the hour. my next guest says during his career, he had the responsibility to see and use various levels of classified information. including the top secret sci or sensitive compartment information documents that federal agents said they recovered from mar-a-lago. joining me now is retired lieutenant general mark hurtling, cnn military analyst and served as commanding general of the first armored division and later u.s. army europe and the seventh army. general, thanks so much for being here. what is this sci classification and where does it fit in the hierarchy of classified documents? >> well, as you said, michael, sci stands for sensitive compartmented information. most people don't understand that. that means it's an element of top secret documents. where the access is restricted to those that have -- first of all, top secret clearance but have a need to know additional information and certain details. sci is classified information that comes

gop outperformed their final polls by 3 as well. have had lousy midterms in senate races in the past but this year the terrain might be different. >> you go back 2018, 2014, 2010, democrats lost seats in all of those years, even in 2018 when there was a republican in the white house. but the terrain is very different. take a look here, here are the democratic held seats among those up for reelection. we're looking specifically at seats that were won by the gop in the last presidential election. in all the years prior to this one there were a ton of democratic-held seats held by the gop that were won by the gop in the last presidential election, 10 in 2018, 7 in 2014, 3 in 2010, but look here, none of the states that the democrats are defending were won by donald trump in 2020. the terrain is much more favorable for them this year than in any of the prior midterms. >> no democratic senate seats in red presidential seats at this point. presidential approval rating what does that tell us right now? >> so, look, right now joe biden's cu

but does that discount the gop women?en in the gop that actually don't want somebody telling them what they can and cannot do with their bodies. >> yeah. it -- i mean, another sort of myth that's out there is that there's a gender gap when it comes to abortion rights. i think there's a gap when it comes to who speaks out about abortion rights and we hear men say they are against it aa lot of women say they are for it, but there's actually no gender gap so there's a lot of women on both sides of the aisle who really want to have bodily autonomy, and what they are realizing it they have been told by right wing politicians, you know, all we want to do is make sure people aren't aiding abortion but what they are realizing is they are aiding and abating rapists. they are helping child molesters and predators really, not just sort of, you know, go off into what they want to do but also, you know, there's 3 million women who get pregnant from rape, and in 20% of those cases it's not an unintended consequence to get pregnant. it

loss to the institution to have someone who i think is a true conservative, representative what the gop used to care about and believe in. but it's just not that same republican party of ronald reagan or john mccain. it is now every bit as flawed as its standard bearer, donald trump. >> pat cipollone has gone from standing on the senate floor opposing you in the impeachment trial of donald trump, the first one to now cooperating with the fbi, presumably telling the fbi everything he knows about the documents at mar-a-lago. we are seeing congresswoman cheney come close to a microphone, but what's your reaction to where pat cipollone is now with his cooperation of the fbi? we'll go to the congresswoman whenever she needs to speak. >> cipollone is indicative of many people in the trump administration in that, they finally got to a point where there's a line they wouldn't cross. but they crossed an awful lot of lines before that. he was one of the trump enabler, as one of the trump defenders, and we saw that during the impeachment trial when he told the senate there was no evidence of print

let's look at the ten gop house impeachers. next congress. now, this is the -- really the final major primary. it's liz cheney, the chief antagonist among them, who has taken this fight to the january 6th select committee. in talking to liz cheney, i think it's important the context here. they have remained in the same position ever since launching this re-election bid. and that was that liz cheney was not going to capitulate. she was not going to go and try to win over other gop elected leaders to come out and campaign with her. she was not going to try to win over gop donors. the same thing has been said to me over the course of the last year, is that if they wanted to get on board with her, then they could. and what you have seen her do is essentially outside of, you know, mitt romney, paul ryan, john boehner, who held fund-raisers for her, it's liz cheney that has gone at it alone here in wyoming. in the polling, she has an uphill bat toll climb. that's why you have seen them make the appeal to democrats, to reregister on e

gop rich dude, not with standing the guy was on the dough his family until he was 49 years old. i'm with him in shorts. what else on social media? i don't see a scenario where democrats win. they hate middle america. you lose me with the broad strokes. i'll read on. the more they politicize the fbi and the doj the worse the ass beating will be. i don't see a scenario where democrats win. this should be historically speaking and where inflation has been a momentous year for the gop, right? 26 i think is the average. ask ron brownstein. he tracks this sort of thing. i think 26 is the average the party outside the white house would typically pick up. republicans only need, what, three or four. so, it would look like they'll retake the house. but the thing about the senate is voters in states -- because of all the money that gets spent, they really do get to know the personalities and make much more individual decisions. and what remains to be seen is whether republicans have nominated candidates, and i agree with larry, it happened on the democratic side of the aisle previously, bu

it is the failure of the gop to disavow the violence?toric, and the violence itself. proof positive that the means justify the ends for today's gop? >> i think in many respects, it is that. and it is, also i think, a general lack of political resolve to deal with these individuals. in the past, when the -- society try to rear its head inside the gop in the late 50s and 60s, the leadership of the party said, oh hell no, we are not doing this. no no no. and they shut it down, they cut it off. what you see now is just the full embrace of it, by their silence. so the individuals like liz cheney, who stood up and goes, wait a minute, time, up this is not what we are about. this is not who we are as citizens. yes, i'm ready to go toe to toe with democrats across the aisle. on health care and the economy. but i am not going to take up arms against them. just because we disagree. that is not what democracy is supposed to do. the fact that the leadership, the senate in the house, won't do that. the fact that you have leaders in the senate in the

attack, it gave the gop establishment out as well. senator mcconnell, these are the candidates we have and the left is descending upon them with vicious ad campaigns and huge war. yes. thankfully, mcconnell super pacl is spending in key races. that's's good.ve butrn think of how much more could be raised ifve republicans and even independents thought it was all for one onen itwas for all. and mcconnell maybe, just maybe seems to be getting the message here he was today. look, can you share us what are the chances of a 50/50 proposition? we got a 50/50 center right now . we've got a 50/50 nation and i think the outcome is likely toco be very, very close either way. so but the stakes will be big because if bothif the house and the senate flip, i think t the president will be a moderateill. >> they won't have any choice. okay, again, we need less ofs a pundit o and more of a leader rally the troops. we don'tro need a no account frm mcconnell. we need the troops rallied for america. now, it was entirely rationalic for gop voters who want

the hypocrisy is never surprising with the gop. maybe, great to see you as usual.t of your evening. good evening to you at home, and coming up tonight on ayman, disgusting, as we learn more about the classified documents that were in trump's position, and one republican is actually telling it like it is. plus, mlk's legacy lives on and i will be joined live by martin luther king the third and andrea king on the anniversary of the i have a dream speech. then biden goes on offense, his poll numbers are on the rise and he is finally calling out republicans semi fascists. where is this version of joe biden been hiding all along? i'm ayman mohyeldin. let's get started. how severely did donald trump endanger the national security interests of the united states? how much risk have we've been exposed because he kept classified materials at the beach resort tucked between -- unbelievably, those are the questions been asked by top intel officials in washington. as we reported last night, the director of national intelligence will spearhead a assessment of the national risk t

it's always been about the gop protecting the super wealthy.e fought the irs's capacity to audit the super wealthy, republicans had to act. they don't care if people get hurt in the process. has ron wyden warned this week, these are incendiary and increasingly dangerous an out of control conspiracies about the irs. look. republicans on the right broadly want you to believe that the irs has declared war on you when the truth is the day they declared war on the irs on behalf of their big donors. it's not the irs that financially was to screw you, it's the gop. coming up at the top of the hour with a man moylan. democratic congressman on his recent trip to taiwan. threats from china in response to republican attacks on law enforcement. that's all next on ayman. we'll be back in a moment.

a major gop primary fight, senator lisa murkowski of alaska, sarah palin in gop primary battles in alaskaws rich edson with the latest from wyoming. rich. reporter: good evening, liz. congresswoman liz cheney is trying to fend off harriet hageman, an attorney in wyoming. she has the support of former president donald trump. supporters are here in wyoming at a fund-raiser. many are campaigning against congresswoman cheney while they are here. they say this is a referendum on cheney vice-chairing the january 6 committee and her criticism of the former president. cheney's supporters say she is standing up for her principles against the wing of a party that tried to overturn a legitimate election. they're trying to convince registered democrats independents, to switch to the republican party to vote for cheney. they can do that in wyoming. senior republicans say that is not right. >> this is desperate aspect of cheney's campaign. >> the impact is minimal. we're in wyoming, this is purple state. there are not enough democrats if they crossed over. reporter: some of that might be happening. in

the gop's slow-moving coup is still happening as we speak.ection deniers win races in swing states like arizona, michigan, and pennsylvania, they will absolutely use their power to ensure no democrat can win an election in those states ever again. it's not about election integrity, it's about power. as we've seen in arizona just this week, they don't even believe their own lies if overnight vote counting helps them, it's legit but if it hurts them, then it's somehow evidence of fraud. the amount of bull[ bleep ] they've been churning out to justify their lies is equivalent to - >> 81 million -- >> big massive dumps [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause >> seth: that was "a closer look." ♪ [ cheers and applause >> seth: we'll be right back with ll cool j, everybody.

the gop is losing what little moral compass has less. . i want to know that liz cheney is a hard-core conservative, there is nothing to moderate about her. she and a handful of republicans have set themselves apart when they stand on the side of democracy and against donald trump. we can disagree on the issue, even vehemently, but we should be able to agree on the need to protect our democracy. and that is not the case with the republican party anymore. without the sensible republicans in congress, there will almost be no internal checks on the party's far-right authoritarian impulses. we see that time and time again. take a look at the possible incoming gop caucus. 2020 election deniers make up the majority, yes, the majority of republican candidates in key battleground states. the small bit of good news here, these candidates still had win general elections, and some of them, included noted cruditÉs fan and senate candidate mehmet oz, a significantly behind and public polling. if that bill leak reality has caused mitch mcconnell to lower

>> it's not even just a gop leader is now, it's the full gop., the thing holding them together, is that the right-wing media is basically fully embracing a lot of us jones has been saying. back in 2006, jones would've attacked republicans in the bush administration. trump was the catalyst for that, but i think if you just think about the concept of the deep state. that's been an alex jones conspiracy for 20 years, and that's the standard, not even controversial republican talking point, all the way from kevin mccarthy on down. it's not even considered outrageous to say the tens of thousands of people have some mostly infiltrated the american government, and are coordinating a conspiracy to take down, because they're in cahoots with the media. that's just a normal thing now. but the bond is the right-wing media. that's the thing that really holds it together. >> so, nicole, picking up on what angela saying, where does alex jones in infowars fit into the modern american conservative ecosystem? what is in forwards's relationship, or john's relation

meanwhile, some of the gop want to move on from the make about this.tore the gop credibility. plus, young mothers across the country forced to make horrible choices, as more states criminalize abortion procedures. but there are glimmers of hopes at least on defense, like in michigan, where a judge just blocked a 91-year-old ban on abortions. this is american voices. we begin this hour with donald trump's war on the justice department and how he is leveraging a criminal investigation to grow his support with the gop base. four presidents -- spent the day bragging on social media about how the fbi search at mar-a-lago is solidifying his hold on the republican party, as he eyes a 2024 run for president. new reporting from nbc news, according to a source close to trump, he is inclined to launch his candidacy after the november elections, in part to avoid blame, should an early announcement under mine the gop effort to take control of congress. if he runs, and that is a big if, at least one criminal investigation could follow's every move during a 2024 camp

is the trump lead gop inciting domestic terror? good evening, welcome to the show, i am mehdi hasan. we have new breaking news tonight. a bulletin from the fbi and department of homeland security warns of a surge in threats and calls for violence against federal law enforcement officers and government personnel. according to nbc's kelly o'donnell, the bulletin includes the following passages. these threats are occurring across multiple platforms online, including social media sites, web forums -- the fbi warned that it has seen personal identifying information for possible targets of violence, like home addresses and identification of family members as additional targets. horrific stuff. earlier today, a man died by suicide after driving a car into a barrier outside of the u.s. capitol building. the individual got out of the car, and as officers approached fired shots into the air before ultimately shooting himself. this all comes on the heels of the cincinnati fbi field office attack on thursday, carried out by a former january 6t

he always had a tenuous grasp on the state gop.isliked him and find him to be socially tolerant, didn't like his stance on immigration and they certainly didn't like his anti-pathy for donald trump. over a period of a decade, those grassroots activists who have been fed a continuing churn of misinformation and at times outright disinformation over the years have taken ahold of the party. and they've come as that passage in my piece mentioned, to see democrat as a kind of enemy, which is something i didn't expect to see as i mentioned in the story, i had never seen before in republican politics, to go to conservative meetings and to hear people proactively say by the way, we're not a democracy. we're a republic. and to speak of democracy as if it were, to use it as a slur. and to suggest that those people who believe in it are somehow the enemy within as mccarthy would have it. >> so, robert, i mean you've got some of the candidates, some of them perhaps genuinely believe this stuff about the 2020 election and believe it was stolen

she's gone after the gop hard and kevin mccarthy. an aide points us to a dick cheney quote from 1976. principal is okay up to a certain point. principal doesn't do any good if you lose. as we've had this conversation, if it's not about winning the presidency but damaging donald trump in the process, it sounds like that may be liz cheney's plan at this point. >> it might be. we'll see what she decides. by the wayed, congratulations on the "fox news sunday" announcement. thrilled for you. >> thanks, guy. >> what is interesting to watch on liz cheney, i've seen some people saying she's delusional. she wants to run for president. she has no chance. i agree with leo. there's no chance that she will be president. she won't be the nominee. she says that the goal would be to try to stop trump. fair enough. if that's what she wants to do. i think she and people around her have to think long and hard, what would that look like? what would actually move the football on that goal and would a liz cheney candidacy for president further the goal? y

what does this say about the state of the gop?>> they like viktor orban because he has got a lot of trumpy features. he's a power hungry dictator, he doesn't believe in democracy. you know, he's kept his job for a long, long time. and i think he is a model for a lot of these republicans. but they also have nigel farage who is the father of brexit, which was another very self defeating nationalistic cause. which is ultimately really given the british economy a lot of economic problems. they basically sanction themselves. so i do think that these kinds of nationalist movements are part of the whole trump manifesto. and the idea here is to get the base excited. and to really push the sort of new ideas and new culture war tropes. >> david, nbc asked cpac attendees about their pick for president in 2024. i want to take a listen to what they said. >> trump all the way. yeah. you know, i don't think anybody can pull it away like he can. not desantis, not pence -- >> definitely not pants. >> if donald trump don't win, i'm gonna pray that

including both eric dorsey in the gop nomination.y reacting to the statement from trump? i'm the real eric? >> well, stephanie, it's just a baffling situation here in missouri. former president trump has injected even more chaos into an already heated and tight and crowded gop primary. all these candidates are trying to replace senator roy blunt in the senate. what you, heard and what we saw today was really former president trump trying to flex his muscles, he started off the day by saying he was going to endorse someone, sometime today. several hours went by before you sent out this message that you just said was really about, eric in all caps. eric schmitt earlier in the day, he was welcome in the the idea that former president trump will be able to endorse him, and one of his endorsement. he now says the endorsement was for him. and eric greitens, who is the embattled former governor, he resigned in disgrace 18 months after he was inaugurated. he's facing allegations of sexual abuse, domestic abuse. i asked him specifically, beca

"the evening edit" starts right now. welcome to the show. happy friday. check your money. the s&p, nasdaq falling. fears of more fed rate hikes to stop inflation. three quarter point hike again is being talked about. the u.s. economy powered ahead adding 528,000 new jobs in july and that was double expectations and the economy is retracing the 22 million jobs destroyed by democrat-led shut downs. there's still 10.7 million job openings. as businesses hold onto their workers by increasing wages 5-point 2% annualized. reports for the senate is

he's a guy who has his finger on the pulse of the gop.fox and trump, they can get back together again. if you look at the tabloids, celebrity couples always get together again. i was happy to see affleck and j.lo together. happily able to work it out. but the fox news/trump marriage, that can be put back together, and i don't think i'll be quite as happy. >> understood, but you look at the murdoch effort, and it isrn living through, giving people an understanding of what the topic is. trump's greatest strength in 2016 was not even necessarily what he was saying, although he did find messages that broke through and departed from some of the establishment, but were his omni presence. he is in a situation where he has been deplatformed. that's all january 6th related, whether he comes back or not. fox isn't carrying his speeches. we pointed out they carried the january 6th hearings during the day live more than his speeches. even with his alliances he hasn't done an interview there in months. "the new york times" pointed that out. at what po

for many of the people in the gop. with what they've done instead is -- the biden ministration has higher new irs agents with this read. as if they're going to use these irs -- to forcibly raid peoples houses, take the mining, take their guns, things like that. not just on extremist forms or -- but on fox news. you hear them constantly talking about these new irs agents. they do it to signal to a base that has conflated those two things on purpose. they are now trying to tell people that if trump can be rated, anybody else can be next. >> now, given this rhetoric online, you get the sense that a larger kind of singular event, similar in scope to january six could occur? dozen ministration have the tools to prevent it, if you feel it's possible? >> it's a good question. i think we are going to be -- c more frequently -- i don't wanna call them a lone wolf attacks, but it's people who are individually still riled up by these forms, surrounded by the rhetoric, they take it out by themselves. the militias are being watched

this is about a front runner in the gop party.20 elections saying that would be interference. moments after saying hillary had broken the law, fbi director in 2016 said no reasonable prosecutor would ever bring a case against her. would any reasonable prosecutor bring a case against trump now? >> of course not. that is not what geyer lent, the doj and fbi are concerned about. absent more information. this is now an exit stent show threat to our constitutional public. the fbi, doj need to be defunded and refashioned in an organization that actually applies the law equally and irrespective of political affiliation. >> remember when after comey said that, he said he would send over fbi agents to interview general michael flynn about his suppose it contacts with russia. it was a move to entrap flynn. no miranda rights. a counterintelligence wrote notes, what is our goal, truth, admission or get flynn to lie or get him fired? final word. >> that is exactly right. the fbi and doj are basically saying they want to take advantage of the w
