, former white house press secretary now host of msnbc's "inside with jen psaki." welcome back >> thank you well welcome to washington. >> good to be here >> it's prom here. >> i love being here especially on a night like this. lots going on on the hill. >> is it mccarthy-gaetz or what more do we need to understand? >> first, this is the first real big test for mccarthy this week is to get this bill passed now he has done that except what you just referenced in your opening there is to what end, right? and what deals did he have to strike to get that done? this bill that passed the house is never going to pass the senate it won't be what becomes the debt limit deal by any means what's important for people to know is that kevin mccarthy is not really a spending cutter this is not something he's cared about throughout his career. >> sure. >> he voted to raise the debt limit three times before trump and many times before that, and this is what he had to do to maybe maintain his speakership and what happens now is there has to be a negotiation, among, probably members

current msnbc host and white house press secretary jen psaki joins me in just a moment. we have more breaking news to share and some new storm sweeping across the east coast today. strong thunderstorms are on the way after record rain fell in new york city and newark, new jersey yesterday. the visibility is so bad that this is what it looked like at the top of the rock there. that's right, now that's not very. good a wall of gray clouds. right, now also, the mid-atlantic is at risk of damaging winds, tornadoes and severe hail. a massive line just moments ago moving off the florida coast. another wild day, there. a tornado tore through palm beach county yesterday with winds topping 100 miles an hour. that twister damaged boats and cars and uprooted trees. fortunately, no reports of any serious injuries. well, something jen psaki told me in 2012, yes, that many years ago, rings true even today. in, fact it is remarkable. you are gonna hear what she said and immediately recognize its relevance. jen joins me next. jen joins me next. >> i think the response is the president d

it's starting. >> of course, be sure to tune in on sunday at noon for "inside with jen psaki" right here on msnbc. >>> he escalating tensions. a week of increasing violence in the middle east. >>> we will look at a white house report on who is to blame for the troubled withdrawal from afghanistan. you are watching "andrea mitchell reports." this is msnbc. moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin. despite treatment it disrupts my skin with itch. it disrupts my skin with rash. but now, i can disrupt eczema with rinvoq. rinvoq is not a steroid, topical, or injection. it's one pill, once a day. many taking rinvoq saw clear or almost-clear skin while some saw up to 100% clear skin. and, they felt dramatic and fast itch relief some as early as 2 days. that's rinvoq relief. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal, cancers including lymphoma and skin cancer, death, heart attack, stroke, and tears in the stomach or intestines occurred. people 50 and older with at least one heart disease risk factor have higher risks.

joining us now is jen psaki, the host of inside with je psaki, airing sundays at noo on msnbc jen, asto talk to you about this first, you had a remarkable conversatio with cy vance. as a result of that, i think i want to handed over to the legal expert on our panel, katie phang, to -- hey jen, although i think by now we all, including ou viewers, can be lawyers -- forget going to law school >> hold on to that, this morning had the chance to si down and have -- tsai vance and you had a chance to talk t him about supersedin indictments. we are going to play a littl bit of that sound now, and i'v a question for you on the othe side >> whatever indictment h brings out tuesday does no mean that is the end of th investigation. superseded indictments and state corps are as frequent as they are in federal courts so, what i'm saying, jen, is that if district attorney brag issues or hands down a indictment that is focused o hush money payments and th like that, doesn't preclude hi from continuing investigations into other potential crimes. >> so jen, we are waiting fo baited breath for tuesday

national committee, now msnbc political analyst michael, also former white house press secretary, jen psaki, jen you dealt with tucker carlson and what was said on that show, what was said throughout the evening but really a news cycle that was shaped not almost entirely but tucker carlson but he was a dominant voice there and how significant is today's news coming out of fox? >> well, i think we're sitting in the white house right now you probably reacted like what many of us said, which is, wow that is huge news, but they're also naive about what this, means unless steve tells us otherwise the likely replacement for tucker or what the primetime lineup is going to look like it's probably similar with less tarnish, less legally problematic coast but still people who are going to be very very critical of the president, the vice president, and others so very significant and he did drive and you know and you know that they would come up in the briefing room. but i don't think that there are naivete sitting in the white house either. that this is a big change in strategy or anything else up the

we are still with michae steele, jen psaki, and joh heilemann.ew, let's start wit you, what is the impact on fox and how do you think thing have changed since the dominio lawsuit? should we expect sort of a new approach for fox news? or is it gonna be more the same? >> you know, i know there' been so much hand-wringing, an i know there's, and some cases the light that some people vie what happened with the stock price today. from a financial perspective it is not clear that the los of tucker carlson is going t have a meaningful and clearl not a 3% impact on the actua economics of the business. most of the business of fo news, or for the most part i for affiliates, it's the cable subscription fees, 4. 2 billio dollars worth annually, th sponsorship piece is one point for some of billion dollars. i don't to say that's no significant, but if they los $10 million a night, or a year rather on this show, rathe than with whoever the new host turns out to be, rather than tucker, and we've seen thi before we've seen it. you are just talking about it, you

i want to bring in jen psaki, host of msnbc's "inside with jen psaki" every sunday, and former whitetary for president biden. let's just start big picture here what are you watching for on this trip? >> well, first of all, welcome, and congratulations on your first week so happy to be working with you. >> back at you >> i'm really watching, ana, i mean, this is a really important marking point diplomatically because it has been 25 years since the good friday agreement was put into place the 30 years before that there was a lot of blood, a lot of fighting between all of the different factions so that is important now, what is a challenge for the white house and for the president is that he is very closely tied to his irish roots. he's very proud of them, and that has prompted a little bit of skepticism on the ground about whether he can be a fair arbiter. but the white house has effectively pushed back on that and basically said, look, he has been a defender of the united kin kingdom. he has also been something who's been involved and supportive of peace and prosperity, which has been

and jen psaki, thank you and make sure to watch "inside with jen psaki" sundays at noon here on msnbc. she had a great interview with john kerry which is online. we'll bring you the president's comments when it begins. >>> and asa hutchinson has officially announced he's running for the republican nomination he's one of the few who are openly criticizing donald trump. but first her turn e. jean carroll taking the stand in her civil rape lawsuit against former president trump today. how strong is her case, which involves alleged defamation? what does it mean for trump's legal troubles and what has he been saying online this morning? that's next.

jen psaki, no laws were fwbroke but your thoughts? broken is small solace to most people in the american public who are waking up and thinking, what on earth a supreme court justice took this nine-day cruise to indonesia that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars i think, mika, looking at just this week of stories for the republicans, obviously, we've talked a lot this morning already about what happened in tennessee. but you have donald trump, the former president, thinking he is above the law and should not be -- succumb to the justice system everyone else is. you have fox news, where they are continuing to provide lies knowingly to the public, thinking the public is dumb. then you have a supreme court justice living by a different set of rules this is the kind of stuff the public looks at and thinks, this is out of whack. this is not what we banwant the pillars of government to be representing that's why i think this story could actually stick with people the supreme court has already gotten popular it has lost popularity the last

mehdi hasan jen psaki. you, what a great --. is this working okay. what a great here. this is amazing. well first, i want to start by just giving you a little heads up that when we get to the q&a portion, then you will all have the opportunity to debate many should you choose. so people here who know him know there's some safe topics where he'll be on the other side he's a cheese lover. you hate cheese. get on up there. or if are somebody who thinks covid restrictions should have been thrown a year ago, he's also happy debate you. so just heads up for that. i will note that while you're thinking about this, i have a blurb on the back where i refer many as one of the toughest interviews i did in the white house. so just prepare yourself. make some notes, and you'll have your time. so i want to start because everybody in here may own the book or maybe their potential book buyers and book buyers for their friends. why do you need to know to win a debate? what is goal? it's a great question and thank you, everyone, for coming out. i realized how popular you were, jen, till

. >> let's bring in jen psaki. >> john heilemann here. >> jen, you look at the 25%. i've never seen that number attached to any candidate who was actually the leading contender for his party or her party's nomination i do wonder if, sometimes, when you have favorability ratings collapsing to 25%, which means three in four americans do not have a favorable impression of h him, if we see that trickle down to the base, who maybe, a all these years, realizes that donald trump is not good for the republican party he's not good for the conservative community he can't win elections anymore >> right also, 25%, sometimes you'd see it for a candidate who is on the rise, who people still don't know yet but everybody knows donald trump. he has a 100% approval rating, right? there aren't undecided voters coming his way back in november, he had a drop, right? decembesantis had a rise after e november elections it was very clear at that point in time that he was a loser. i mean, he was supporting losers that has faded a little bit because desantis hasn't appeared to be as strong as

will face a 34-count indictment related to hush-money payment made in the run-up to the election, jen psaki says democrats might want to consider restraint. where does that leave democrats? what should they be doing about the indictment news? let me start with what i don't think you should be doing. as much as you may want to, now is not lock them up t-shirts and mugs, that is what trump and his supporters would do. now is not the time to celebrate, brag, predict outcome of the legal cases. if you can, i would put your head down and stay out ever it for now. >> greg: moderate democrats have doubts about the case. it is a very, very sad day for america, very sad day, especially when people believe the rule of law or justice is not working the way it is supposed to and biassed, we can't have that. >> no one should be above the law. no one should be a target of the law. it will lead to political theater. >> greg: grab your bucket and mop, the media is wetting their pants at the thought of trump in handcuffs. cnn had someone on a boat to capture the moment trump landed. and others are cheering

>> yeah, i think that's great advice from jen psaki. and you saw president biden when asked specifically about this, he has declined to get engaged and comment. the white house wants to focus on the president travelling to minnesota today, for example, talking about the chips investment and infrastructure with the split screen of, you know, the former president arriving for the indictment and arraignment tomorrow. so i think hopefully democrats will heed that advice and cooler heads will prevail and let the process play out. >> john: kevin, david, good to talk to you. it's going to be a big political week, gillian. >> gillian: oh, yeah. it's amazing to may that people are continuing to enter the race as this all unfolds. it's just interesting some people are trying to go about business as if it's usual. >> john: and then some current democrats thinking well, maybe i should challenge joe biden from the independent perspective, joe manchin has been kind of dropping hints, we are going to talk with josh about that later on. >> gillian: we'

jen psaki mentioned she's a disgrace. but horace said he mentioned the gang of eight. i'm sure this is information that even the gang of eight in congress doesn't have access to and it begs the question. how is the chinese military advance so quickly? this this steel the billions of dollars that we invest in planes and ships and missiles. they steal it whole wholeheartedly. because we i haven't haven't secured our intelligence and again, we have to pivot and you can't have a president of former press secretary or an administration that doesn't end understand the serious nature of this and again. i think the congress is gonna come harder. this administration both republicans and democrats, this is not about a set of documents you might have in your basement at mara lago or by your car in your garage. this is the most classified information this government has, and it was leaked. but but to share. it should never have it. you should have a small group. maybe 100. people have access to it, but not a million as horse cooper just mentioned well shot and horace. thank you ve

tutt karenzhan pierre and jen psaki two from the casket are the same from the face. why does the white house need such incredibly smart press secretaries in quotation marks, whom they serve, we understand the dolls of the heir. tutti with you again, i'm maria butina, i don't know, i don't know, i don't know, i don't know, i really don't know. i have read this and am not familiar with the term. i 'll check. let's see what our team meant by this term. i have a question for you, as a specialist in the united states. why is the white house picking up such incredibly ignorant press secretaries. the first thing comes to mind? what the white house secretaries are like, because sometimes it's really very difficult to extrapolate and frame what you come from the white house. plus, of course, the personal qualities of these people, because maybe these people received a fairly good education by american standards. but, in principle, they are not competent about their education. we 'll figure it out. there is a whole bunch. this is your favorite part. in the meantime, you know,

what is jen psaki saying?ying it is not the time for democrats to celebrate that indictment. listen in her own words. >> now is also not the time for democratic candidates to celebrate, to brag, to predict the outcome of the legal cases. if you can i would actually just put your head down and stay out of it for now. president biden and the white house will lean into the long-standing policy that they don't comment on ongoing criminal investigations. that is not only the right thing to do but in this case it is also good politics. jackie: of course that is what she is worried about, politics for the democrats and how this will play out because trump is getting so much support. people are outrage what is happening. it is amazing. stuart: thank you, jackie. dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas refusing to admit there is crisis at the boardedder. >> do i view it as a crisis at the border. >> why won't you say crisis? >> i have tremendous faith for the people at the department of homeland security. the crisis speaks to

>> yeah, i don't think this is that difficult or complicate for folks messaging wise thank you, jen psaki we really appreciate it. >> thank you >> and as you, mentioned you should be sure to tune int inside this sunday with je psaki, where former manhatta da cy vance will join at 12 pm eastern. coming up, donald trump may be to force former president to b indicted but is it really ne territory for the u.s. why a trump indictment could b the thing to get america bac on track, next - really? and your clothes just keep getting more damaged the more times you wash them. downy protects fibers, doing more than detergent alone. see? this one looks brand new. saves me money? i'm starting to like downy. downy saves loads. the new chase ink business premier card is made for people like sam who make...? ...everyday products... ...designed smarter. like a smart coffee grinder - that orders fresh beans for you. oh, genius! for more breakthroughs like that... ...i need a breakthrough card... like ours! with 2.5% cash back on purchases of $5,000 or more... plus unlimited 2% cash back on all other purcha

today he spoke to my colleague jen psaki.s going to meet the press he said he's anticipatin something that's called speaking indictment to b revealed on tuesday at the arraignment. can you break down what speaking indictment is that's more information than just a list of, charges right? >> it's so classically you might see a list of charges, e next day that this happened. and then acted violation o this law you could see an indictmen like that. or you could see an indictment that tells a story that's what it means, it tells the story. it goes through this was a conspiracy this is what happened on the state. on this day trump made thi phone call on the state michael cohen mad this phone call. on the state, michael cohen an pecker had a conversation. they included it so, it tells the complet story. i would hope that we see that if not i would hope tha we see some kind of statemen effect for the prosecutor to flesh out exactly what to th charges are. exactly with and i expect we will >> you expect we will. tuesday is the day cat

. -- jen psaki here has essentially said, i will read the quote here, it is more about the issues andut the age. donald trump's four-year age advantage seems far less controversial than issues on democracy, women's rights, democracy, and the climate crisis. is this where the campaign should remain focused? not only where democrats stand, on all of these issues, but also what could happen if republicans are back in the white house. >> i think that is exactly right. here is the thing, not only is he very capable. he has achieved so much in a short period of time. we also have to think about the contrast his likely opponent, by the way just a little bit younger than him i want to be respectful but i think the term would be he's obese, right? he can't even walk the golf course voters quite frankly pride on care of what about that what they want to see are thestdidn't want to go backwardi think that jen psaki is exactly right you have to focus on those issues. the campaign, outside of her skin contra forth where donald trump is. >> alex we thank you good to talk to you. tonight everybody o

and the host of msnbc's "inside with jen psaki," jen psaki she's former white house press secretary. great group this morning. >> huge show. >> lot to get to. >> huge show a lot of news. >> it's massive. >> yeah. >> by the way, willie, i don't know if you saw, but, i mean, look, mika. >> what? >> just all over twitter. >> why no, i'm not. >> no, all over. >> i retweeted some of your tweets from poland they were amazing. >> you're trending all over twitter, and twitter is all over you. >> i think i know what you're talking about. >> let me just say, does willie know what i'm talking about? >> i -- >> the $12 tank top she's wearing right now. >> oh. >> what do you call it, cami >> personal is the word, but it's true. >> $12 tank top on twitter >> i think it was less than $12. >> purchased it on twitter or they're talking about it on twitter? >> i made a purchase on twitter, and i'm worried all my information is, like, going to the chinese. you know what? i got the greatest deal. >> you can get great deals on twitter. >> where did you pick that up, for the viewers? you're not a paid spo

jen psaki, that then press secretary, immediately asked joe biden, would you like us to put out a statement? and biden said no, it is between him and me. that is joe biden. he's old school when it comes to keeping confidences no matter who the other person is. >> anthony is calling in from indianapolis. go ahead with your question or comment. >> chris, thank you for writing the book. your book is titled the fight of his life. is he prepared, and i think he's making very good moves, to win or support ukrainians' unequivocal victory in ukraine, i.e. the complete expulsion of russian forces from the donbass? >> it's a great question. really important question. there's a lot of nonsense in my view being written about a negotiated settlement between ukraine and russia, while russia still occupies land that is clearly ukraine's. when i spoke to bill burns, the cia director, about this, he said he believed that if there were any settlement, it would be a pause before vladimir putin went back for the rest of ukraine. that occupying all of ukraine is an existential thing for vladimir putin. i think

the former press secretary, jen psaki, had some thoughts on the discord leaks. she downplayed it much like her former boss. >> watch the contents of whate we have seen. none of that was earth shattering. the challenge, though, that's of interest to me. whais what are the conversatios behind the scenes in foreign capitals? i meanmean, you have this leak,, the mar-a-lago documents, classified documents cl, all ovs the place. what are people, the fiv pe eyer partners where we share our intel pretty freely with ? what do they think, sean?first firsoft of all, i seem by to remember classified documents by the wheel of a corvette that wacorvettes joeg putting that aside, nothing earth shattering. these were privateprivate communications from the mossad ,the security forces in israel, fromom the national security council in southhine korea. we learned about new chinesese s sppyrnedy aliens. we learned about us specialno forces abroad in ukraine. thing nothing earth shattering. >> j how could you say that? jen psaki mentioned she's a h disgrace, but said he meantthate t

. >> ashley: gavin newsom offering political advice to ron desantis in an interview with jen psaki. >he will get rolled by trump, trump will roll him, trumped. if i were offering him political advice, i'd tell him to pack up and wait a few years and do hard work like governoring, not culture war. >> ashley: desantis's response to indictment made the florida governor look weak. desantis criticized alvin bragg's indictment as political maneuver and made a prediction with next year's presidential election. >> biden will be re-elected and deservedly so. his legislative accomplishments last two years, nothing comes close. the >> ashley: has yet to announce plans for next year's election and may not do so until late summer or fall. >> todd: and george soros's son had more than a dozen different meetings with top biden officials, including four with the office of then chief of staff matt clain. matt, walk us through how the soros influence machine is pulling levers at the white house. >> it is looks like alex soros is poised to take over his father's empire. we almost didn't need a report, y

jen psaki is doing her job calling him a stars that her job at msnbc.the highest income tax in the country. it's not even close. california also has the highest poverty rate in the country. no state, none is seeing a bigger exodus out of its state in terms of citizens and also businesses companies, than california, according to u-haul. number one state they are going to evil florida run byron desantis. number two is texas, so if you look at gavin newsom's record, is he no billy idol in terms of being a rock star. anyone sober in california will tell you that, todd. >> todd: she was gushing all over hey, you would be on a collision course if it weren't for kamala. they live in a unique world that the rest of reality doesn't exist in. >> ashley: called warped. >> todd: great word for it. newly released documents the fbi is tying common internet lingo with violent extremism. red red pill, based, and the names chad and stacey. the fbi flagging phrases that include it's over and just be first. even though this is all often used be in thely. non-innocent port

the rest iseneration with imagery on it early morning yesterday jen psaki said the president doesn'tefore 9 a.m., just awkward all the way around. -- -- there is nothing or maybe logically over two years so far that he's pretty much massaged center left fights that happened to the democratic party. there is no natural home for an opposition candidate. >> david brooks is a columnist making the comments, beverly, i want your response to that. >> no wonder elon musk wanted to put state-sponsored media on pbs. the host did not even push back. take a look at whether or not he's falling upstairs which happens often and his recent trip to ireland, made horrible mistake of confusing the new zealand all black rugby team to the military force the black and tan and closed out a speech by saying god bless you all and let's go lick the world. you can't make this stuff up, we should just have a gaffe meter. this is ridiculous to an honest person, even a liberal would say he is not on top of his game. >> todd: the hunter scandal, document scandal, we ran out of time, beverly, we could spend a week

karenzhan pierre and jen psaki two from the casket are the same from the face.his and am not familiar with the term. i'll check. let's see what our team meant by this term. at i have a question for you, as a specialist in the united states. why does the white house choose such people?

i know that biden is already a part time president with 4 days in delaware a week, jen psaki last weekt joe biden does nothing before 11 a.m. there is a concern that is coming up, he -- they are talking about he will not announce a new campaign until august, that is really late. i do think there is concerns with his age, that is out front for everyone to see. again, marie said it, this is not something that presidento go to. but, you know, it is impossible to ignore the fact we barely see him as it is. guy: he was invited, they are declining. a anonymous report, saying part is just the concern that he is too old, too much travel, across the atlantic, do you buy that? or moon lines of what marie said. >> i don't think that the president was -- precedent was set because 70 years ago, we have not had a coronation in the u.k. in a long time, 70 years ago. i don't think that is reason they are not sending him. i pray that reason he is not going is anything except the report he is too old to go, that is horrifying, if he is unable to make the trip, that could be, we d don't want to go i'd be

the funniest thing is both jen psaki -- said they can't keep up with him. >> you know what's so crazy is fine. the president just picks up a quarter off the ground. buy gold immediately. we're in bad shape. >> sean: we're in bad shape. >> you know what else is disturbing, no one saw him drop anything so is it possible that the invisible man he's been shaking hands with dropped something. i don't know. but the only thing i would add to this, i think he was being honest, my dad's kitchen table, nothing ever fell on the table, clearly because it landed on his head. this is sad. >> this is a good day for him because he didn't fall. you know what he was picking up? his dignity. [oh! ] . >> laura: he's the president of our country, we're going oh for us. but i am very melancholy and wispful, though, because he's really not delivering anymore. i long for the days, and i actually sat up in my office before i came down for your show, and watched the whole -- it was all in one moment, the whole corn pop leg, hairy legs in the swimming pool, he went from calling impocorn pop to es williams, 28 s

former biden white house secretary jen psaki warning democrats to not get too excited. >> so, where yout did leave democrats? what should they be doing about the d indictment news. >> let me start with i don't think what they should be doing, now is not the time for mass order of lock him up t-shirts and mugs, that is what trump and his supporters would do not time to celebrate or brag or predict outcome of legal cases, if you can, i would put your head down and stray ostay out of it for now. kennedy: is this real about the rule of law or an attempt, to scu sc scuttle trump's we 24 campaign. >> bedford is back, and jejessica tarlov. and spike cohen. it is interesting, chris. seems like the former president really doesn't a fight, he wants a spectacle. so, democrats playing into that are they playing into his hands? >> a little bit. alvin bragg, i have been trying to find what his motive is. i just don't think he is that smart. he is over played his hand. because right now, a lot of news outlets here, a lot of political people have have an unspoken promise to not talk about donald trump,

this is why jen psaki said, if this is a referendum on joe biden, we lose. that was a very honest assessment. it cannot be a referendum of joe biden. that's why in elections you have to make it a choice. here's why the conservatives have to say, we are better on inflation, security. the waffle house guys do a lot better than the biden guys. he wants to be here for six easter egg rolls. if president trump said that, they would say, he wants to be president in perpituity. >> they had snow. it was so cold, gavin newsom was advicing people to go poop indoors. that's not normal. that is not normal by any stretch. >> sean: but he is the president. here's the problem. we discuss this. i want everybody to pay very close attention. if you're at home, pay close attention to this. republicans have been mysteriously reluctant toward early voting and voting by law. except florida. there are exceptions. similarly democrats don't run campaigns. they don't kiss babies. they don't shake hands. they don't do media avails. they don't do town halls. no. they run hundreds of mil

jen psaki told democrats to stay away from this.ave a listen. >> now is not the time for a mass order of lock him up t-shirts and mugs. that's what trump and his supporters would do. now it's also now the time for democratic candidates to celebrate or brag or predict the outcome of the legal cases. if you can, i would put your head down and stay out of it for now. >> bill: where are we now and where will we be tomorrow? >> that's good tactical advice. the indictment will help donald trump win the nomination and it will be and help democrats win the presidency and why they are happy about it. donald trump knows it will help him win the nomination. he said he wants to perp walk. why is that? because even republicans who -- majority of republicans want someone else to be the nominee. even republicans open to another candidate don't want to see their country turned into a banana republic to go against political opponents in the justice system. donald trump, even if a majority don't want him to be the nominee he has 77% approval in the r

jen psaki says she understands this. the cnn palma, 32% say that he deserves reelection.e same time, 33% say the same of trump. conservatives must illustrate a choice here. a clear choice why conservativism is better. because that poll is meaningless unless you deliver that choice to the american voter. >> lisa: as much as we should speak out against in and fight against it, it cannot be the only issue that republicans are talking about. we have to make this a referendum election. also lay down another path for americans, but in regard to the tiktok influences, this is why they are not going to do anything on tiktok. they needed as an influence machine, and it's working. you look at something like one in four individuals under 30 get their news from tiktok. you look at the selection alone, the second-highest election ever for millennials amgen z, turning out in droves for democrats, and i remember back in 2015, talking about obama doing interviews with a youtube star that bathed in cereal. do you guys remember the story? i remember everyone is like he's crazy. this is ter

. >>, inside with jen psaki, sundays at noon on msnbc. jonathan capehart, saturday and sunday mornings at nine on msnbc. >> thanks for being with us tonight. it is very good to have you here. it was labor day weekend, 1936. it was hot, around 90 degrees. and 100,000 people turned out to see him. he himself said from the stage, from the podium at the front of the crowd, that the crowd was about 80,000. but the police actually said it was bigger. police said it was 100,000 people. , again this was in 1936. so if you want to address to that forward for sure, it was $1. about if you want to adjust that to account for how big the population of the country was at the time compared to now, hundred thousand people than convey to the overall size of the country, that will translate today to a crowd of like 250 260,000 people. which is a really big crowd. particularly since the person they were all there to see was just some guy with a radio show. have you ever heard of a politician nude william lembke? he was a congressman, a candidate for preside

finally, chai, i was talking to jen psaki about this the other day, do you think there is a real problemething else or does it sort of cancel out? we're in this funny time and they feel this and trump has other larger problems? >> biden i think encapsulates it the best with a slogan when he says don't compare me to the almighty, compare me to the alternative. that's what this election will be about. i don't think there's a better slogan. joe biden, yes, let's talk about honestly. he is old. age is an issue. ageism is an issue. americans have a rich history of holding people's physical characteristics against them. you can ask african americans, you can ask women. that is a fact. that is a problem. that is something that we are definitely going to have to fight on and something democrats are going to definitely have to address head on. i think joe biden has definitely done that. he has a record to run on. he has a record of accomplishment, he has a record that can contrast with donald trump and where donald trump is going to take the country. by the way, one issue that carrie did not ment
