a ivanka trump, jared kushner, beavis and butt-head, eric and don jr. so, after you got fleeced by trump's kids, and he put them in charge jared kushner couldn't , even get clearance from the secret service. he was a national security threat and you want him in charge of national security? so after trump robbed you, you , are worried about hunter biden and his past? look, brother, i am here to tell you corruption is real, it is as real in the democratic party as the republican party, but hunter biden has zero role. zero. they are doing that to distract you. if you want to say pelosi and the others have houses, of course they do. did they get rich off politics? yes they did. >> we are going to leave this online. we will take you live to the white house for an up date on covid from president biden. pres. biden: the seminary and other members of worship in the area are partnering with the community help centers to help offer vaccinations and vaccination sites. we are seeing them all over the country. with a special focus on vaccinating seniors. from all rac

that may not be a lot of money to jared kushner and ivanka trump who made up to $640 million while workingthe white house, but it's a lot to most americans. especially working class folks who believe trump saw them as more than a personal atm machine. the donations were processed by for profit republican firm called win red which took 30 cents out of every donation. talk about the swamp. and the final months of 2020, requests for refunds skyrocketed. more than 530,000 of them. totalling $63 million. now a top campaign spokesperson downplayed the report. not contesting the actual data, but repeatingly big lie. he's addicted to his delusion. democracy be damned. his contempt for the truth is rivaled only by his contempt for his supporters. trump is also admitting by sidney powell standards that he's not a reasonable person. that you probably knew that. questions when has small dollar donors will realize they've been getting played the whole time. and that's your "reality check." >> sickening to think of what those poor people were duped into without realizing. thank you very much for bringin

none other than former first daughter ivanka trump. she wrote, "today, i got the shot! i hope that you do too! thank you, nurse torres!" which is good. i'm glad she did it. and posted about it. but the comments under her post are, nope, not doing it. hard no. pass. you're joking, right? and i never will. what a solid fanbase. which is it, trumpsters? does donald trump deserve credit for the miracle vaccines, or are they useless? it can't be both of those things. meanwhile, there are new details in the sordid saga of future former florida congressman matt gaetz. yesterday, we learned gaetz was involved in more wild house parties than kid n' play in the '90s. [ laughter ] he reportedly had drugs and sex at these parties where women were given gifts and money in exchange for their participation. much of it paid through venmo. "the daily beast" got their hands on venmo transactions from this guy, joel greenburg, one of gaetz's closest friends. greenberg is cooperating with authorities, which bad for matt gaetz, presumably as a result of more than 150 payments made to dozens

hunter biden tells ivanka trump and don jr. to get a job. r of national intelligence under president trump. this is comical. >> i can't figure out from hunters arguments whether he is saying this is russian disinformation or the latest revelations on his laptop are of his own making. this is a disaster. this is the guy who literally has only been able to collect money because of his father. we see he has been put on boards because of his father. he has no experience in the energy field, yet was put on energy boards. this is laughable. this is a ridiculous statement. and by the way, lawrence, this only works in washington, d.c. he is a product of washington, d.c. he has grown up in washington, d.c. he is used to these ridiculous arguments were a whole bunch of democrats will say "yeah, good point, keep saying that," and the rest of us in the united states, the rest of us in america, look at washington and these excuses and these types of claims and just laughed. washington is really out of touch. >> lawrence: you know, ric, i am always fascina

in fact, when a maga figure, like ivanka trump, does get publicly vaccinated, which, by the way, good for her. thank you for doing that. they are met with vitriol. responses, like, nope. i never will. hell no, why would you post this? i have an immune system for a reason. and now, we are getting data to back that sentiment up. that's not just instagram trolls. new polling from monmouth finds that 43% of republicans want to avoid the vaccine altogether, compared to just 5% of democrats. this map showing the percentage of vaccine supply used in each state paints a stark picture, too. the lightest shade of green here represents the lowest percentages. that is the most amount of vaccine sitting around going unused and you can see a big grouping right there. arkansas, louisiana, mississippi, alabama, georgia. so, here we are. okay? after this unimaginably awful year. this incredible thing that science produced, giving us a way out. we just have to take it. and the other thing is our government is actually doing a good job for the first time in this pandemic. the last obstacle is this nihil

we saw ivanka trump post a picture of herself on instagram getting vaccinated, encouraging others toe same. what did the comments show? hell, no. disappointed in you. why would i want bill gates tracking me? how do you counter this type of vaccine resistance? it all stems from disinformation being poured to millions of americans. >> look, it's going to be difficult. and that's why we're going to get to a point where supply will exceed demand. we will probably get 150 million, 160 million americans vaccinated but once we get to that point, it will be difficult. i'm not saying we won't get beyond it but we will have to chip away. people probably once you hit 150 million or 160 million americans, they're not going to be lining up anymore. that's going to 3re9y much exhaust the really aggressive demand. so you have to push it out to some of the big box stores, make it easier for people to get vaccinations, make it for people just walk up and push it out through doctors' offices so people they have a relationship with, intermediaries they have a relationship with. that's how we will get t

she is not giving ivanka trump though any credit.ember, ivanka trump was working very hard on paid family leave and affordable child care because those are things that are, you know, of interest to everybody. ainsley: so it's interesting that her last line is let's keep going. they want to do more. and that must have been their talking point. they must have passed that out to all of them because aoc said the same thing, crediting all the activists and organizers help pass this. they are saying a major victory for them let's keep going. matt berger the director of outreach for elizabeth warren he said what we all know. we all know that president biden ran as a moderate, right, and promised he wasn't going to do all these things. now he is doing them and started doing them on day one, max berger elizabeth warren's guy said progressives are winning the battle of ideas. we are setting the agenda for the democratic party and the country as a whole. let's keep going. he also used that same line. brian: yeah, democrats knew they couldn't ge

they have -- even republicans -- we saw ivanka trump post a picture of her getting a vaccine, and the comments were vicious. even donald trump himself that is belatedly said -- encouraged people to get the vaccine. there's blowback on the trump family for getting the vaccine. so i think that, you know, the rye-wing commentators like tucker carlson understand there's a big anti-vax part of the base. the former president understood that when he refused to publicly get a vaccine. he knew there would be blowback from his supporters for doing that. so i don't think a call from ron klain or jen psaki would necessarily have the fox news talking heads change their messaging. one thing i did find interesting about tucker carlson's monologue last night was that that it illustrated they're still having trouble landing a direct hit on the biden administration. this -- this message came hours before biden himself steps out at the white house and said, you don't have to wear a mask outside anymore. it would almost make more sense if he was doing this in the face of news that biden is continues to i

beach, 3 years old during that crisis and that was when it sparked change in the oval office after ivanka trump went and talked to her father. >> bill: the image there was that he was face down in the sand by himself on a beach. >> dana: we shouldn't allow it. we're going to speak to tom homan in a moment. let's speak with alex hogan live at the border in mission, texas. >> hi, good morning. just over this levy there is a processing site where many migrants who surrender to border patrol are processed. we've seen some of them already here this morning. all of them sharing harrowing stories of what they've experienced in the journey just like the little boy. let's take a listen. [speaking spanish] >> this child just walks up to border agents sobbing. he was traveling in a group without his family. he explains they left him behind while heading to the border and crying. he asked the agent where else would he go if he doesn't go with them? this is a sad new milestone that we're seeing. 19,000 children are in u.s. custody. each of them just like that little boy made it all the way to the border. on

and ivanka trump. president of the united states, thus wrote a personal check for the payment of hush money, as part of a criminal scheme to violate campaign finance laws. i concluded that don jr. was referring to that june 2016 trump tower meeting about dirt on hillary, with the russian representatives when he walked behind his dad's desk that day. and that mr. trump knew that was the meeting that don jr. was talking about when he said, that's good, let me know. >> is there any other wrongdoing or illegal act that you are aware of regarding donald trump that we haven't yet discussed today? >> yes, and again, those are part of the investigation that's currently being looked at by the southern district of new york. >> joining us now is michael cohen. he's the author of a book about his time with the ex-president, it's called, "disloyal: a memoir, a true story of the former personal attorney to donald j. trump." he also hosts the podcast, mea culpa. thank you so much for spending some time with us today.

gripped and i think encouraged by what he saw, because he had been inciting this -- his daughter, ivanka trumpormed the capitol that they were patriots, american patriots. she then had to delete the tweet. so mike pence is in the capitol, there are people with pence neck-shaped nooses storming that capitol. he is calling the president, to whom he has been more loyal than the history of loyalty that i can think of and they're not responding, for hours, they're not responding. i think it ought to be said in the context of what we were discussing earlier, this remains trump's party, and that the january 6th account that he has remains the official line. that mike pence hasn't spoken out. he hasn't been down to mar-a-lago. but he hasn't spoken out against trump. in spite of the fact that trump endangered his life, in spite of the fact that after four years after almost sort of a parody of loyalty towards trump, that he's been left out to dry i think pence has got two books in the pipeline. he's got 2024 presidential aspirations. and the fact that pence thinks that speaking against trump would enda

trumps. >> these are ivanka's favorites. my shoes. >> can he count on their support now that he's under investigation? >>> the u.k. variant is now the dominant strain in the united states and as hospitalizations are now going up. well, well, well. look at you. you mastered the master bath. you created your own style. and you - yes, you! turned a sourdough starter. into a sourdough finisher. so when you learn your chronic dry eye is actually caused by reduced tear production due to inflammation ...you take it on by talking to your eyecare professional about restasis®... ...which may help you make more of your own tears with continued use twice a day, every day. restasis® helps increase your eye's natural ability to produce tears, which may be reduced by inflammation due to chronic dry eye. restasis® did not increase tear production in patients using anti-inflammatory eye drops or tear duct plugs. to help avoid eye injury and contamination, do not touch bottle tip to your eye or other surfaces. wait 15 minutes after use before

your dream told you that trump is gonna win, and then ivanka, and then don jr. and eric.wo terms. - no, that's only one term. that's four years. yeah, actually these are mostly one-term presidents. - no, you're not reading it right, brother. - no, i'm-- look, 2020-- no, this is '24 to '28. that's four years. - and then another four. - no, no, no, these are one-term presidents. - no. - ivanka, one term. don jr., one term. - ivanka is 2024. - and? - 2028. - that's eight years. - that's four years! - no. - you just have a four-year period in here where somebody else gets elected. - no. - it doesn't say anything about reelected. - it does! it says-- has her getting elected in 2024 and 2028. - your math is wrong. - no, my math is not wrong. ♪ - and while these patriots love america, they do think that old glory could use a little jazzing up. it's not the size of the flag that matters, it's how many votes you get in the electoral college system. everybody says the same thing. it's a big flag. it's also not an american flag. - there's stars and stripes on it, brother. just appre

trump is here. thanks, lara, for being with us. i think of eric, i think of you, i think of ivanka, i think of donald jr.mit, you know, a gun purchase questionnaire, i don't see you not going to jail. i don't see any scenario. if any of you also made millions and millions of dollars cashing in while your father, or father-in-law, in your case, was vice president or president, got millions of dollars with no experience in energy from ukraine, got a $3.5 million wire transfer from a russian oligarch, got money from a kazakhstan oligarch, and a $1.5 billion deal with no experience that we've been able to find with the bank of china, why do i think you would all end up in jail, and i don't even think that's laughing matter that double standard exists, doesn't it? >> yes. honestly, there is nothing that is funny about that. i have to tell you, i think the whole situation with hunter biden is actually very sad. he's obviously a very troubled person. but to hear him laughing about this. and sean, there is no question that this was his laptop. we all know it's his laptop. the fact that he can't fully deny that i

least, turning over information about jared, ivanka, about don junior, about donald himself, about all of these individuals in that garbage can orbit of donald trumpving lived through this, michael, what is going to happen next for rudy giuliani? >> well, i think he starts to sweat more and hopefully he's taken the stuff out of his hair that turns it black because it's going to be everywhere. he's nervous. there's no doubt that he's nervous. and he's rightful -- it's fair. and it's rightfully so that he's nervous because he knows the power of the sdny is unlimited, and they use that power. they use it the way that they want to use it, and he -- look, he's been involved in some very, very shady stuff, and now, all of it is going to come out. >> and what -- specifically, what shady stuff? >> it's a bad place for rudy to be in. >> what shady stuff are you referring to? >> all of the relationships that he had with foreign countries as he was running around the world basically telling people that, i am donald trump's right hand, that if you need something, i'm the guy who's going to be able to deliver it for you. i mean, i remember sitting with rudy ma

trump's first 100 days, he accomplished a lot too. he tweeted that snoop dog's career was failing, nordstrom's was mean to ivanka, and he was a better host of "the apprentice" than arnold schwarzenegger. but it's hard to compare these two. it's like apples and an orange. [ laughter ] thank you. joe biden today took a little stroll with the first lady on the way to marine one. the helicopter, and he stops and picks a flower for her. boy, this guy doesn't miss a beat, does he? [ cheers and applause ] that was like straight out of a cialis commercial. [ laughter ] a dandelion. you know, during the depression, joe used to use dandelions to make soup. the only thing trump picked up and gave melania required a shot of penicillin. [ laughter ] biden last night gave his first address before a joint session of congress. it was a hopeful speech. he spoke about turning peril into prosperity. he said "life can knock us down. but in america, we never stay down. in america, we always get up." except for ted cruz who was sound asleep. during a lot of this, look at him, dreaming of cancun, no doubt. [ laughter ] lyin' ted just turned into snoozin' cruz.

trump family, the easter egg hunt is really competitive. >> it's vicious. >> i remember knock-out, drag-out fights with ivanka especially, back in the day, because i may have, you know, gotten on the security camera system and figured out where they hid the proverbial golden egg. so when she found out what i did, it was -- it was brutal. but you probably expect nothing less. a lot of alpha personalities in there. >> jimmy: even a cute family anecdote makes them sound like the reign of caligula, doesn't it? you know my brother daniel? you have a brother daniel? not anymore. we killed him in the egg hunt. so then, djtj tried to pitch in and give his daughter an easter leg up on the competition. take a look at this. >> chloe, chloe! chloe, chloe! no, no, no, no. not stealing eggs. >> jimmy: stop the steal! hey, let's watch it again, because it's fascinating. here we go. his daughter snatches an egg from another kid's clutches. so daddy decides, "i like that- i'll throw her another egg to reward her for her cunning and cunning and speed. but then there not only does she fumble the inheritance, she drops all her other eggs, some of which get

trump allies. it's not just the former president but his children as well. gaetz spending a lot of time cozying up to ivanka> these are ivanka's favorite. she told me she liked my shoes. wore them to the white house. >> reporter: and don jr., like he did when he traveled to wyoming to attack fellow republican liz cheney who voted to impeach trump after the insurrection. >> a man who loves wyoming, who loves to hunt and fish, how about a word for donald trump jr. >> reporter: while gaetz has done everything he can to support trump the former president's support has been less than passionate. none of the trump children have offered public support for gaetz. sources telling cnn trump himself is being advised to stay away from the gaetz scandal. >> our ryan nobles reporting there. now, moving on from the trump era, joe biden's team makes a shift in u.s./middle east policy. the reasoning and the regional reaction next. >>> and a painful royal rift. jordan's king finally speaks out about the plot allegedly involving his half-brother. policy you no longer need? now you can sell your policy, even a term policy, for

trump's first 100 days, he accomplished a lot, too. he tweeted that snoop dogg's career was failing, that nordstrom's was mean to ivanka, and that he wasback to "morning joe." it is friday, april 30th, the last day of april. i'm willie geist. the bbc's katty kay, the ap's jonathan lemire are still with us, and joining the conversation, nbc contributor and so much more, mike barnicle, pulitzer prize winning author and presidential historian, dorris kearns goodwin, economic and policy analyst, heather mcgee and the great donny deutsch is with us as well. joe and mika have the morning off. let's dive into some new polling giving president biden a positive approval rating, strong marks of the four crises that these identified under his presidency. the coronavirus, climate change, racial injustice, and the economic downturn. in the latest reuters/ipsos poll, 55% of americans approve of the president's job in office. 40% disapprove. on his handling of the issues, 55% approve of biden's handling of coronavirus, 29 disaprove. on the environment, 54% approve, 33 disapprove. on racial inequality, 51% approve, 37% disapprove. on the economy, 52%
