. >> joining us now, michael tyler. communications director for the biden harris reelection campaign. michael, great to see you again. thank you for coming to the last word. we are really seeing a split screen after donald trump spent yesterday in a criminal courtroom listening to testimony against him from porn star stormy daniels. how is the biden harris campaign seizing on this moment? >> it is certainly a split screen as it relates to donald trump no matter where he is. whether he is in a manhattan courtroom or down in mar-a-lago or the few times where he does step out of mar-a-lago. he is talking about grievance in service of himself. the role he played in overturning roe v. wade. thinking the state bans across the country are working out brilliantly. he is talking about a blood bath if he doesn't win. he is talking about ruling as a dictator on day one. that is the campaign he is running. i think what you see today out of the president joe biden is someone talking about the promises he made and the promises that he

he was joined in a surprise move by biden campaign communications director michael tyler as well as twothe police officers who defended the u.s. capitol on january 6th, michael fanone and harry dunn. there de niro delivered a message on behalf of the campaign, warnings about the dangers of a second trump administration. >> i don't mean to scare you. wait, maybe i do mean to scare you. if trump return tuesday the white house, you can kiss these freedoms good-bye that we all take for granted. and elections, forget about it. that's over, that's done. if he gets in, i can tell you right now he will never leave. he will never leave. when trump ran in 2016 it was like a joke, this buffoon running for president. though, never could happen. we've forgotten the lessons of history that showed us other clowns who weren't taken seriously until they became vicious dictators. with trump we have a second chance, and no one is laughing now. this is the time to stop him by voting him out once and for all. we don't want to wake up after the election saying, what, again? my god, what the hell has he done?

wants more than two debates with us now is the communications director for the biden campaign, michael tyler. michael great to see you. so i think donald trump just said, yes to president biden's proposal. so what now? >> yeah. i mean, donald trump says a lot of things will see if he actually shows up what the president communicated this morning what this campaign is proposing is that we have a two debates, one in june and one in september. i think we're ready to go the american people deserve to see both of these candidates argue their case on the merits. well before people actually go and cast their ballots, we believe that when people see joe biden vs donald trump, there'll be able to see the very stark choice between the president who has been fighting for the american people since the day he took office in donald trump, who's campaign and revenge and retribution will be on full display for the american people to seem reject once again we're excited to get this going. >> so you say no, live audience, you want it in a television studio without an audience, does that mean if the trump camp

. >> joining us now, michael tyler, communications director for the biden harris reelection campaign. great to see you again. thank you for coming to the last word. we are seeing a split screen after donald trump spent yesterday in a criminal courtroom listening to testimony from stormy daniels. how is the biden harris campaign seizing on this moment? >> certainly a split screen. as it relates to donald trump no matter where he is, whether it is a manhattan courtroom or mar-a-lago or the few times he steps out onto the stump. he is talking about the same things. he is running a campaign based on revenge, retribution, grievance and service of himself. talking about the role he played overturning roe v wade. the bands that are playing out across the country. working out brilliantly. he is talking about a bloodbath if he does not win. he is talking about if he is able to regain power. that is the campaign donald trump is running. i think today you see out of joe biden somebody who is talking about the promises he has made and the promises he has kept, fighting on behalf of working people

that's what michael tyler is telling you. what i think they're figuring out now -- and even though we know, like, you always plan for the court outcome, right? how many times with the supreme court, you have six different statements -- >> planning the scenarios, yeah. >> we have six different statements for every outcome, and everyone though you're prepared, once the decision actually happen, it always feels different, and you always need to kind of recalibrate when the stakes are really high. and i think -- and also, you know, i don't think -- think it would have been weird for the president to come out tonight, for all those reason, but we can talk more about what he might want to say. but i think waiting until tomorrow at least is the right thing. >> hold that thought. we have to sneak in a quick break. everybody's sticking around because we're less than six months from aelection day, and the leading republican candidate has now been found guilty of 34 felonies and we need to talk about whether that matter in november, how

. >> joining us now, michael tyler, communications director for the biden/harris campaign. hind the scenes. tell us how the campaign came to the decision to have donald trump address this issue head on today. the president has been wary of addressing it in the past, and then what the strategy is for the future. >> well, thank you so much for having me. i think it's important to take a step back. i think yesterday demonstrated that nobody is above the law. i think today what we have in front of us is that two things are true. donald trump is a convicted felon, but he's also going to be the republican nominee for president of the united states. and so what the president is focused on, what this campaign is focused on is making sure that we ensure the one way to prevent donald trump from ever stepping back into the oval office. we know that to be at the ballot box. and so that's what we're going to continue to be relentlessly focused on for the next 12 months, what the president talked about was the fundamental stakes. you saw donald trump give an unhinged deranged press confer

we would not be doing a segment on michael tyler is comments on the microphone so even if it wasn't fu fu that's pretty wafer campaign manager der viral. >> want to take it when you went forward. good good fellows. >> but to isaacs pointed, it's not, it's not even necessarily the swing voters. that's not resort of the intention behind bringing it to nero. yeah, it's sort of the concern around the voters that may actually, that may not want to vote for trump, but are between biden and staying home, right? when you have somebody going out like this? sort of a thinking by the campaign is if we can have somebody that speaks to the passion that we want people to be feeling now, can we build them through z asm? and will that be the thing that moves people? to actually go vote? got extended. the point i made before celebrity bringing them into political campaigns is such a double-edged sword. >> i was sitting in romney headquarters when clinics, what was talking to the empty chair. >> i remember the convention, yes. right before mitt romney went on do you remember nobody really want to tell i

we start tonight with michael tyler. michael, thanks for joining us tonight. >> thanks for having me, and happy mother's day down in atlanta. i should say that. >> you should say that. let's start with what you shared with msnbc today. listing former president barack obama and the clintons, as well as george clooney and julia roberts for major fundraising efforts. republicans are trying to close the money gap in this race. talk about maintaining the financial advantage and will we see some of these popular celebrities focus the events in some of the battleground states where the campaign could use a boost right now? >> yes, absolutely. you'll certainly see more of that as we approach the crucial fall months of the campaign as we are building on the historic war chest. $192 million in the bank. the money we're raising, it's equally as important as the grass roots and the donations we have been able to raise. teachers, nurses going to joebideen.com, giving $5, $10 at a time. we are very proud of that had fact. and also to w

. >> reporter: michael tyler is communications director for the biden campaign. >> said that presidentp? >> well, he certainly does have a history of complaining about debates, skipping out on debates. >> the two men squared off in 2020. >> you're the worst president america has ever had. >> i've done more than you have in 47 years, joe. >> reporter: those debates were so hostile, many wondered if there would be a sequel this year. >> would you shut up, man. >> who is on your list, joe? who is on your list? >> gentlemen, i think we've ended this -- >> reporter: we asked voters in philadelphia if they plan to watch this time. >> i might watch part of it, but i think it will just annoy me so much. >> i doubt it. i might, but i doubt it because i know each one is going say. >> reporter: so why are these two debating in june more than four months before the election? well, the campaigns say it's because so many people now vote early. but the trump team is also looking for a way to turn the page after his criminal trial ends, while biden, who is trailing in many polls, could use a strong he

michael tyler saying the threat trump poses to our democracy has never been greater, running increasinglyand retribution pledging to be a dictator on day one and calling for the constitution to be terminated so he can regain and keep power. a second trump term means chaos ripping away american freedoms and political violence at the american people will reject this in november. trump supporters say of a real threat to democracy is convicting a leading political opponent in an election year. >> all they are about is stopping the republican presidential candidate running for office but he's unstoppable, you can't stop him and that is what they are trying to do. >> president biden has a meeting with the belgian prime minister, closed threats. and >> donald trump will speak on new york city come alive when it happens. more varney after this. your record label is taking off. but so is your sound engineer. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire ah, these bills are crazy. she h

he was joined by biden campaign communications director michael tyler as well as two of the police officersitol on january 6th. michael fanone and harry dunn. there de niro delivered a message on behalf of the campaign warning about the dangers of a second trump administration. >> i don't mean to scare you. no, no, wait, maybe i do mean to scare you. if trump returns to the white house, you can kiss these freedoms good-bye that we all take for granted. and elections, forget about them. that's over. that's done. if he gets in, i can tell you right now, he will never leave. he will never leave. when trump ran in 2016 it was like a joke. this buffoon running for president, nah, never could happen. we've forgotten the lessons of history that showed us other clowns who weren't taken seriously until they became vicious dictators. with trump, we have a second chance, and no one is laughing now. this is the time to stop him by voting him out once and for all. we don't want to wake up after the election saying, what, again? my god, what the hell have we done? we can't have that happen again. >> okay

and think more important than robert de niro is michael tyler.resident biden's communication director. he started the whole thing. you can't say i didn't have his fingerprint on this, this is hi communication kuiper. >> ainsley: i couldn't understand what the protesters are saying and the protesters yells at him, you're washed up your right did hero says if you. he says europe softly, your great your movies suck. they are trash. >> you're trash. >> steve: you mentioned the communications guide. this is laughable, but the biting campaign says look, the reason dinero with those two capital policeman from january 6 , they were going to talk about essentially draw attention to donald trump's actions on january 6, that was what supposed to happen but things went off the rail. they said the reason they did the press conference yesterday was because they were all these cameras there and they were jus standing there so they figured you know what, let's take rober de niro outcome up one of america's greatest actors in have him show how much he hates donal

the biden harris 2024 communications director, michael tyler, saying this.law. there is only one way to keep donald trump out of the oval office and that is at the ballot box. joining me is harvard law professor emeritus the, author of get trump, the threat to civil liberties, due process and constitutional rule of law, spot on even before all of this happened. there is the book. alan dershowitz is here. thank you very much for joining me this morning. you've seen this trial unfold firsthand. you had a front row seat in that trial. your reaction to the verdict? >> my big disa disappointment ih the jury. this is supposed to be a check and balance. this jury failed the role of checking and balancing. of course they did because they were hand-picked by the judge, by the prosecutor to be anti-trump. these were get trump jurors. these were jurors who voted between 85 to 90% not to allow trump to be president and they will do anything to prevent him from being the president and so their vote was the second vote on november against him being president. it wasn't a

the key person who appeared yesterday was not deniro, it was michael tyler.is the biden communication director. >> lawrence: spokesman. >> brian: we are here because you guys are here. we want to get our message out. >> steve: there were a lot of cameras and a smile. >> ainsley: donald trump getting too much attention go down to manhattan. >> brian: they have a white house where the president doesn't like speaking. >> ainsley: correct. turn to headlines starting with a fox news alert. one person is dead. seven hurt. and another still missing following a natural gas explosion at a high rise buildings in youngstown, ohio. the blast blowing the facade off the 13-story building which houses a chase bank on the ground floor and apartments above. overnight first responders finding the body of a 27-year-old bank employee in the rubble. the search for a missing woman is ongoing but officials believe she might not have been in the building at the time. philadelphia police releasing surveillance footage of a group of gunmen who shot a man and left him for dead outside

i think the biden team, michael tyler, he put out from the biden campaign, put out a statement, he sayslicans who continue to cast ballots against donald trump at the primers and care deeply about the future of democracy. those of the people. i'm interested in what jaime harrison thinks of this. is the chair of the democratic national committee, you're not trying to get republican voters. >> i would be. >> that is different. there is a fine line to walk. they need to john up the pace. >> is a republican chairman, had to create a coalition. that's why i adopted howard dean's strategy. you cannot leave votes on the table. i have to get democratic votes in those areas it's a d+ two or three. >> you are going to get votes but not to say, i know -- you are going to get people to support the party line in that sense but this is difference where people are saying, you stay a republican. this is about democracy which is a little different. perhaps why the dnc chair is not the best messenger, but we will have the opportunity. >> jaime harrison is with us next. . a mystery! jessie loves playing d

michael tyler. 's good to see you, michael, thanks for coming in president biden, launching this nationwide effort to mobilize black voters today, how much work do you need to do to keep that coalition that helped get joe biden elected the first time around yeah. >> well, again, thanksor having me. this campaign knows that black voters are going to be key to the biden harris coalition in key to our pathway to victory and we're not going to take any single voter for granted. black voters were key to our victory in 2020. they're going to be key to the victory in 2024 because black voters have the most at stake, frankly. and so we are going to communicate relentlessly with black voters across the country that have this happening today in philadelphia to your point with both the president and the vice president. but all summer long, this campaign is going to be partnering with organizations on the ground, tapping into grassroots networks, making sure that we're not simply just running ads on the air wave

on "morning joe" this morning michael tyler was asked why they don't want to take part in the traditional debates sponsored by the commission on presidential debates. >> they have been treating these he debates more like spectacles rather than substantive conversations between the two candidates. we also saw in 2020 an inability to force the candidates to adhere to the rules. you had donald trump repeatedly breaking the rules. you had him skipping out on debates. so in 2024, we want to make sure we can do it in a manner where the rules are enforceable and the american people have an opportunity to hear from the candidates before they cast their ballots. >> joining me now is chuck todd, jack hin alamini and also robert gibbs and also brendan buck. so chuck, president biden, donald trump both agreed to debate on june 27. what do you make of the debate pitch? certainly seems that the in-dumb content is acting more like a challenger. >> you don't do this if you are ahead obviously. this to me, there are a lot of people in and around biden world wondering do they accept that they are losing, d

this is the 2024 communications director michael tyler outside the courthouse.verdict had come then i believe closing arguments are so going on. look, what you make of this question about the campaign obviously will do the heaven listing are responding to the case. >> it reminded me outside the courthouse of robert de niro who came out and gave that tirade saying get off my lawn. and yelling at a courthouse they can't hear him. and we all stood there in disbelief. all i could think of is from the bronx, that wasted talent. what was what dinero was saying was we have to stop them now and doing it from the courthouse really sort of brought home this isn't about the criminal code this is about finding a means to stop donald trump and look you may not have a horse in this race, but we all have the interest in the criminal justice system and whatever you say about donald trump, this fulfilled his narrative of a politicalization of the legal system. >> kennedy: it's like a drug resistant bacteria whatever they keep going at trump and makes them stronger and stronger a

rules about covid protocols, but also the format of the debate itself, and so now let's hear from michael tyler of the biden campaign laying out what the challenge is going forward. >> it should be joe biden and donald trump talking it out on the issues that the american people care about, and so that's what we're hoping to achieve with this proposal. >> reporter: two interesting things about this as well. one, we know that there is at least one major third-party candidate in the race, rfk jr. the commission has criteria by which rfk jr. could qualify, setting up a format outside of the commission means that rfk jr. would not be participating. don't forget the vice presidential debate as well. the biden campaign in this letter saying vice president kamala harris would be willing to debate whomever donald trump chooses as his running mate as soon as late july. >> thank you for bringing that reporting. trump responded saying biden is the worst debater ever and he added this, i am ready and willing to debate crooked joe at the two proposed times in june and september. i would strongly recommend mo

joining me now for more on his campaign strategy is michael tyler. he is the biden harris campaign communications director. thank you so much for being here. >> i appreciate it. >> let's start with what the president is doing today shortly. actually well, he's been generally crisscrossing the battleground states, as i said all told, unveiling 866 billion in development so the question is, what i mentioned, which is the race still looks like a toss up to us today. are there any signs that you are seeing that these efforts, like what he's going to do and wisconsin are moving the needle well i think there are a couple of things. first, thanks so much for having me. i think as it relates to what the president is doing today, he's of course, there in his official capacity in racine announcing $3.3 billion in investment i do think it stands in stark contrast to donald trump's fraudulent economic record of broken promises to american workers. he showed up in racine or when he was president golden shovel in han promising the eighth wonder of the world and 13

this from communications director michael tyler, quote, america just witnessed a confused desperate, and defeated donald trump ramble about his own personal grievances and lie about the american justice system i'm leaving anyone watching with one obvious conclusion. this man cannot be president of the united states. it goes on to say, on hinged by his 2020 election laws and spiralling from his criminal convictions trump is consumed by his own thirst for revenge. and retribution, goes on to say that they will continue fighting against trump. now this is a pretty scathing statement from the biden campaign, which has been leading the charge in response i want to the verdict that was yesterday. now, the biden campaign does not bank on this conviction really changing the calculus of the alliance section entirely. but certainly they are making clear their sentiment on the matter and trying to fire up their own base by also asking for those grassroots donations. now the white house for its part has been reluctant to weigh in. in fact, they'd been quite brief with the white house council spo

>> well, jake, the statement is from communications director michael tyler and it says in part in new york today we saw that no one is above the law. donald trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law on his own personal gain. but today's verdict does not change the fact that the american people faced a simple reality. there is still only one way to keep down on trump out of the oval office at the ballot box, convicted felon or not, trump will be the republican nominee for president. the statement goes on to allude to the chaos that the campaign leaves. would ensue if trump were reelected, saying the american people will reject it. this november. of course, we just heard the former president say that the people will be the final deciders here and that november 5, when this case ends and it is in his words, long from over now it's unclear exactly when or even whether we would hear from president biden responding directly to the fact that his predecessor is found guilty on 34 felony counts throughout the week. needs were non-committal about

michael tyler was the one who sent out the statement. it went on to say there's il only one way to keep donald trump out of the oval office -- at the ballot box. convicted felon or not, trump will be the republican nominee for president. again, t just some of the statement. going on to say thet trump has never been greater. a second trump term means chaos, stripping americans' freedom thm the biden-harris campaign concerning earlier today just after 4:30 this afternoon when the decision came wn. 34 counts in total, all guilty, against former president trump for falsifying business records. again, you can call us on the line and tell us what you think of this. let's hear from heather in south carolina on our yes line. go ahead. caller: yes, i am absolutely thrilled beyond this verdict. i was shaking alllled to death t came through today because trump has been guilty on so many different things, sides of my f- and he insulted have my uncles on both sides of my family. host: let's stick to the events of today. you said that you supported th

from the biden harris campaign that i want to read out, this is from the communications director michael tylerould not face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain. but today's verdict does not change the fact that the american people face a simple reality — there is still only one way to keep donald trump out of the oval office at the about box, convicted felon or not trump will be the republican nominee for president. it goes on to say the threat to democracy has never been greater and he's running on an unhinged campaign on retribution. i'll start with you, rainer, if you would give us your statement on the biden harris campaign. i would give us your statement on the biden harris campaign.— biden harris campaign. i think it's unfortunate _ biden harris campaign. i think it's unfortunate two. _ biden harris campaign. i think it's unfortunate two. -- _ biden harris campaign. i think it's unfortunate two. -- to _ biden harris campaign. i think it's unfortunate two. -- to tie - biden harris campaign. i think it's unfortunate two. -- to tie in - biden harris campaign. i think

michael and tyler and ryan.d the game for this law because the strategy had been to soft pedal it and lay back but now you are going on offense. how come? >> well, you know, if you look back at 2023, now into 2024, there have been at least eight americans that we're aware of, potentially more, and we have to take matters into our own hands to fight for our freedoms. i have two young children and a wife at home. i'm a father and provider and for me to not be there for potentially 12 years, i have to take every measure, every step possible to be there for my wife and my kids. >> bill: you almost reach the point of desperation. from what i understand this law is unique to the turks and caicos. no other island nation in the caribbean has something similar, is that right? >> certainly it's a very strict law. they are trying to combat violence, guns, gun trafficking, etc. , which i have the utmost respect for but when you have a law that takes a one size fits all approach, there are unintended consequences. the four o

let's bring in michael tyler with the biden-harris campaign. gn or did this come direct from joe biden and have you heard anything from the trump campaign? >> yeah, well, good morning. thank you for having me. listen, the president himself did not mince word, right? he said he beat donald trump twice in 2020. donald trump hasn't debated since. the president is happy to debate. he's happy to do it twice, and he thinks we should do this sooner rather than later so the american people can see the stark choice that's in front of them in this election. we should do it in june after donald trump's criminal trial's likely to conclude and after the president returns from the g7 summit and then we should have a second debate in september well ahead of early voting, so the american people can hear from both candidates before they go cast their ballots and that's what we should be doing in a 21st century presidential election. the president is ready to do so. the question now becomes will donald trump keep his word? will he step up to the plate here? we ha
