alice marie johnson, okay, jack johnson, joe arpaio, scooter libby. a white house official said trump is obsessed as pardons, but the potential pardon of johnson has caused consternation with chief of staff kelly. is it the process or the end result? is it they're traditionalists and they think this is why we have a justice department and lawyers and months of meetings? >> i've got to say being bothered by traditional process is not a hallmark of this white house. i think that don mcgahn has tried more often than not to make actual policy get followed, particularly since the rob porter issue. john kelly i think does these things issue by issue and based on how he feels about them. again, this does not follow the normal process. to your point, should somebody have to be a celebrity or be able to be in a fox news green room to get the president's attention? that's a different subject. but on this particular case, it is still not clear to me and it's not clear to me from "the washington post" story why kelly has an issue here. what i think it is, i think

justice system, the demographics of those people do not match muhammad ali, jack johnson, martha stewart, governors from illinois, joe these are the people who have the president's attention. the concern that i think a lot of americans have is whether or not the president will be looking out for the best interests of those on the wrong side of the justice system who are not celebrities or the president's friends. >> part of that alan, why muhammad ali, you think? >> look, the president clearly is attracted to doing this for celebrities. he's issued a lot of pardons for celebrities so far. it's a world he's very involved in. we know that president trump in his life as a businessman is involved in the boxing world. muhammad ali, he doesn't really need a pardon as he's had his conviction, you know, overturned. i mean it would be a addition for the president, but muhammad a ali's not necessarily someone who needs a presidential pardon. >> quick moving today, eugene, alan, charlie, thanks for stopping by. >>> climate accord, trade, nato, and iran. just a few of the clashes the president has been involved in with other for

it any serious thought, but i know there was a discussion, and joe alsop must have either been there or heard about it, because lyndon johnson asked governor lawrence of pennsylvania to check out something he thinks bill green was saying. and so, you know -- mr. tye: at that convention where lyndon johnson was nominated in 1964, johnson -- while i think at that moment bobby kennedy, as you say, had no interest in doing it, johnson was so paranoid that he apparently asked j. edgar hoover to have agents check out what was going on in the kennedy camp and to be stationed at the convention and report back to him if anything, if they picked up any sniff that there was going to be a kennedy movement. the truth was the best speech at that convention was the speech that bobby kennedy delivered. depending on whose count you used, it was as long as 17 minutes of interruption applause during bobby kennedy's speech, but it was a speech that l.b.j., in his paranoia, was thought about him and talked about a son and his loss of his brother jack, and in truth, the end that have truth was the most rousing endorsement of l.b.j. bobby kennedy

>> i mean, joe, you look at this recent story by ileana johnson in politico about donald trump beingsified information about a sensitive operation in syria, and you wonder, i'm sure low-level people are going to be continued to be prosecuted for such offenses, but are those in the upper echelons of power just completely immune and don't have to follow the law? >> i got to say to eddie's point, i do have faith, i have undying faith in the american people, and undying faith in the american people's ability every two years to punish extremes at the ballot box. if you look at recent history, that is exactly what they've been doing over the past decade, and i suspect that's what they're going to do this fall. >>> cnbc's don chiu, and stephanie ruhle, we will be handing off coverage to you precisely at 9:00 a.m. or soon thereafter. >>> still to come, kate snow is here with a report you'll only see on cnbc. she joins the conversation straight ahead on "morning joe." liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. hold on dad... liberty did what? yeah,

reason the pardon of jack johnson and i looked at that and said aren't there living people who need this power? think about presidential pardons you even knew about and the fact that joerpaio was the very first pardon he gave last august over something that was so con contentious and grotesque, and there are living people who need their own legal counsel. >> i have to take a break in. when we come back, tariffs, trade war and the economy. my exclusive interview with justin trudeau of canada. >> you said you will retaliate. how serious do you think you are and can you make a dent? . >>> welcome back. it took guts to start my business. but as it grew bigger and bigger, it took a whole lot more. that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy. everything. what's in your wallet? p3 it's meat, cheese and nuts. i keep my protein interesting. oh yea, me too. i have cheese and uh these herbs. p3 snacks. the more interesting way to get your protein. wait what? directv gives you more for your thing. your... quitting cable and never looking back thing. directv is rated #1 in customer satisfaction over cabl

johnson expressed remorse for her crime and taken responsibility. that is in sharp contrast to some of the other people whose sense is the president partoned or commuted. scooter libby. joe arpaio. people who have not taken responsibility for their crimes and in fact two of them have claimed they were the victim of political witch-hunts, despite judges saying that's flatly not the case. an appropriate pardon the president gave today, but we ought to be worried if the process for getting a pardon is that someone that can either, a conservative gaffe fly, manages to get booked on fox news or a celebrity who sgegets a meeting with the president. some are appropriate and others likely that are not. >> josh in our great democracy, there are very few powers that the executive that are absolute. this is one of those powers. an absolute power that the president enjoyed. "washington post" on why this particular president enjoys pardoning seems to enjoy pardoning perhapsalities more than predecessors. trump entered the white house expecting few powers. envisioning the presidency is more like his private business than applauding bureaucracy. mueller's sprawling investigation and ai

joe biden said today, the price to be paid for putting our values at risk must be clear now. joining us now christopher khang, now the chief council of demand justice, and also joining us jason johnson politics editor at the root.com and kareem gene pierre. >> i'm going to start with you because you organized the rally today been i feel the democrats are staking much of their early messaging looking for consistency out of mitch mcconnell and holding him to things he said in the past. that's not the way he operates so absent some sudden repair to precedent and a completely uncharacteristic one, what else could democrats do? >> i think it's all well and good to talk about the process and the hypocrisy of senate republicans now but we know they don't care about consistency or rules. so we have to fight this fight on the substance we have to talk about the stakes and the access to abortion, this is about the criticalization to abortion. if roe versus wade is overturned they're talking about arresting women and their doctors. they're putting children in cages they're not going to stop putting women in jail. >> he said there should be consequences for women having abortions. this is the i

joe arpaio, his defense is contempt of court, christian saucier. you have scooter libby, of course, who outed valerie plame and jack johnson. they're all over the place a little bit. i'll start with you on this, tiffany. there's the thematic reason for it. d'souza is famous for trolling. he trolled t parkland survivors saying that because they wanted florida lawmakers to pass a bill banning assault weapons it was the worst news since their parents told them to get summer jobs. he tweeted about rosa parks overrated democrats department, so rosa parks wouldn't sit in the back of the bus. that's all she did so what's the big fuss? he was pretty obsessed with barack obama. he said you can take the boy out of the ghetto, right? there's a thematic reason to do it that this is the kind of guy i pardon. what do you make of that argument for the reasoning? >> well, there's a thematic reason and the reason that serves his own personal interests. obviously these pardons are meant to deliver a message to the people in the line of fire right now. and i think this is very consistent with this president who wields his power like a teenage

was, as i think you would agree, mike, and joe and mika perhaps come on this, too, 1968, was very hard for an insurgent to run against a president, lyndon johnson or a vice president, hubert humphrey, supported by johnson. the overwhelming number of delegates were establishment delegates. lyndon johnson would have moved heaven and earth to keep robert kennedy from many nominated at that convention in august. and he knew it, he ran anybody. and the other thing is that he was warned if you run for president, you will be doing so at great physical risk. which of course in the end cost him his life. >> to this david ignatius, i want to ask michael eric dyson a question. michael, your book is about the unfinished conversation on race. that involves robert kennedy. involves all of us, really. i want to ask you, if we can imagine this remarkable man alive today, and joining that conversation on race, in 2018, what would that conversation be today? >> the first thing he would do would be listen. unlike contemporary leaders and the present potus this man had a yen, a yearning, a desire to hear the other side. not just pro forma, not just for the sake of
