. >> well, there is of course parallel even in ancient history, mika. of course, cesar would have never crossed the rubicon, but by that point in his reign he had control of the steam ships and made all of the difference. >> sure did. >> his rise in ancient rome. >> good morning, everyone. welcome to "morning joe." it is monday, july the 8th. with us we have msnbc contributor mike barnicle. white house reporter for the associated press, jonathan lemire. former aide to the george w. bush white house and state department elise jordan and the president of the national action network, reverend al sharpton. great to have you all. there's a lot already happening on this monday morning. joe biden apologizes for how he described his past work with segregationist senators. but reminds everyone of his record serving with president obama. billionaire convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein will appear in manhattan federal court today, arrested over the weekend in connection with what law enforcement officials say are federal sex trafficking allegations. iran is abo

mika has a lot more with joe biden.can read some very touching moments that we'll show you between joe biden and a very close friend of mika's. also, we'll get his take on congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and nancy pelosi. also ahead, police find cash, diamonds, expired foreign passports in the safe belonging to wealthy sex offender jeffrey epstein. what it means for his chances of getting bail. "morning joe" is back in a moment. tting bail "morning joe" is back in a moment we call it the mother standard of care. it's how we care for our cancer patients- like job. when he was diagnosed with cancer, his team at ctca created a personalized care plan to treat his cancer and side effects. so job could continue to work and stay strong for his family. this is how we inspire hope. this is how we heal. we love you, daddy. good night. i love you guys. cancer treatment centers of america. appointments available now. can't imagine doing it any other way. this is caitlin dickerson from the new york times. this isn't the only

>> good morning, mika. we have a quarter million people without power in new jersey and it's all due to this torrential rain that continues to flow across the northeast here. you can see bands of moisture, they will continue throughout the day. seeing that live video from last night, we had about six to eight inches in parts of new jersey. just in the last two days and unfortunately that's going to continue here for the next 24 hours so right now, flash flooding is an issue across new york city, into boston. this afternoon with 37 million under that risk. after the front starts to pass here, we're actually going to see bright sunshine make its way into the north east. unfortunately we are forecasting this tropical depression, the front will work across the southeast. this will stay off shore, but it will cause flooding rain across florida and coastal areas from south carolina to north carolina. also winds picking up to at least 35 miles an hour. let's look at the plaza right now. we have flooded streets acr

>> reporter: mika, good morning.curity presence here outside of the governor's mansion and here in historic old san juan. volunteers have been frantically trying to repaint graffiti before the next round hits. the sixth straight day of demonstrations are going on here. overnight, more protesters sounded off outside the governor's mansion, but no violence. unlike the previous night when police in riot gear lobbed tear gas. in a written statement, governor ricardo rossello says in part the demonstrations have not gone unnoticed. but he's not resigning. i have come forward to face the people of puerto rico and beg for forgiveness. i continue to reiterate that plea, he says. i firmly believe we can restore trust is. >> we want him out of office. >> reporter: last week, the center for investigative journalism printed private chats that included vulgar and homophobic comments. the governor has not commented on a new report from the group alleging public corruption involving billions of dollars. but the spiraling political

mika will tell you i'm a very, very slow reader.it was more timely now than it was two months ago when you talked about your plan for mass deportation and it actually -- again, it's fact based. a lot of nativists don't want to hear it or xenophobes don't want to hear it. but you can look at donald trump's own statistics and they back up everything you say there. if you want mass deportation to make america more effective, tell us who you deport. >> so i have bad news for you, joe. you're slower than you think. that column was from two years ago. but the point -- but the point still stands. >> so slow. molasses. >> if you look at almost every value that conservatives claim to believe in. family values, family cohesion, starting new businesses, keeping their kids out of trouble, succeeding in the sciences, succeeding in business almost any field of life and you compare american immigrants to those of us who are native born and the immigrants beat us every single time because in some ways -- this sort of reminds me of your baldwin quot

>> we will take it to the courts, mika.nt for us to start an impeachment inquiry. i came out just a few weeks ago, after hours of listening to experts and the testimony of prosecutors. we will be voting tomorrow to approve these subpoenas. but not just to look and understand as to what happened during the trump campaign and after he took office on obstruction of justice charges. but also to talk about the family separation policies. the policies, john kelly has many questions for him. he sits on the board of a for profit company that's managing the home detention facility. so this is going to be a very important moment for to us start getting to the truth. this is, again, educating the american public which is so important to question mueller next week. and bring in all other fact witnesses which are, you know, the people that you just named, rod rosenstein, john kelly, jared kushner. after reading that mueller report, i can assure you that we need to hear from them what exactly happened during the campaign and after presid

mika. >>> all right. ahead, president trump stated yesterday that article two of the institution gives him the power to do quote whatever he wants. >> bill crystal says that statement alone means trump should not get a second term. he joins us next on "morning joe." term he joins us next on "morning joe. right now, congress is working to end surprise medical billing. that's when patients are hit with medical bills they thought would be covered by insurance. but what congress is considering would cut money that vulnerabe patients rely on the most. that means seniors, children, and americans relying on medicaid would be hurt. it's already too hard for people to get basic medical care with hospitals closing and a shortage of er doctors. tell congress we can end surprise billing without shredding the safety net. paid for by physicians for fair coverage. at their reddest, ripest, they make everything better. like our strawberry poppyseed salad and new strawberry summer caprese salad. strawberry season is here.

>> obviously you see a pattern here, mika.e as governor that day and friday night which you saw on the grounds of university of virginia with all of their torches and screaming neo-nazi slogans and saturday a thousand people, mostly armed, screaming the most vile things against african-americans, telling members of the jewish faith they would burn them and burn them like they burned them in auschwitz. how did we get to a place in this country people think they could do this? they used to wear hoods in this country and do it at night, but now they don't think they have to. john lewis writes the forward and we had a lot of discussions about racism and where we go from here. i opened my book with president trump, he rightfully called me as governor what's going on. i explained the people we had in our state, what they were saying, what they were doing. i said this is a real opportunity. president clinton had oklahoma city, president bush 9/11. this was a time for the president to step up to the world this is not who we are, we do

david ortiz is a very lucky guy today, mika.from the hospital after several weeks at mass general. he's home with his family obviously we just showed that. but he -- it will be a while. he's going to have to undergo a lot of physical therapy and the wounds to his stomach issues are going to linger for quite some time but he's a lucky man to be alive. >> very. what a trauma physically and emotionally. >>> back to some politics and the calls for launching an impeachment inquiry into president trump continued to grow. 109 house democrats and one independent have come out in support of impeachment. three lawmakers out -- added their names to the list yesterday. congressman jose serrano of new york, tina titus of nevada and emanuel cleaver of missouri. since robert mueller testified before congress last week there have been 16 house democrats to come out in support of an impeachment inquiry. eugene robinson, the numbers are slowly growing. it's republicans though that are really needed and also i think public opinion in an overwhelmi

it's ridiculous, mika. so why isn't every republican in the united states senate demanding that we protect ourselves against the russians? >> well, susan mentioned the women number in that fox news poll, take a look at the breakdown on whether voters feel donald trump respects racial minorities. only 34% said yes when asked the question. down seven points from august of 2017. 34%. just after trump praised people in a neo-nazi march in charlottesville, virginia. 57% say he does not respect minorities. looking inside the poll, only 20% of minorities feel the president respects them. 73% say he does not. most whites, 52% also feel the president does not respect minorities. though a six-point plurality of white men without a college degree believe trump respects minorities. 48 to 42%. that margin shrinks to one point for white men with a college degree. 48 to 47%. meanwhile, white women regardless of education, overwhelmingly feel that trump does not respect -- >> let's keep the numbers up. sam stein, there's a

>> well, good morning to you, mika. in the last 20 minutes we are hearing reports of an earthquake in washington state around everett. it was pretty shallow, only three miles down and a lot of people woke up in the middle of the night to the rolling and the gentle rocking is what they're calling it. not hearing any reports of damage, but we'll wait and see if that was the big one or if there's going to be -- if it was a foreshock like we saw with the last one in ridgecrest, california. with barry, happy to report it's not strengthened. it's going to be a rainfall not a wind problem. and it's bringing it up and we'll making -- it will be called a land fall. but the center will cross over land during the middle of the night into saturday morning and then it will be a big, huge rain maker as it heads up towards arkansas. here is the rainfall. this is the biggest issue that we'll see. life threatening flash flooding is possible. we'll see up to ten inches widespread central louisiana and up to two feet of rain. so louisiana

>> well, thank you very having me on the program again, mika. with you this morning. you know, when we saw the debate about the border supplemental bill recently, the issue for democrats was not about money. the issue for us was about standards and accountability and oversight, the very things that have been lacking at the department of homeland security for far too long. the things that create these conditions, including policy from this administration and so when our house bill did not make it to the senate, did not even get a debate on the senate floor, the speaker rallied us and we talked about how we could continue to push standards and oversight and accountability. so what we're going to see. we have made headway, and you're d going to see this week, mark up on two very important pieces of legislation. one of them will be to increase the humanitarian standards of those who are in our custody, migrants, vulnerable migrants in our custody. we'll be marking that up in the house judiciary committee, and then in the homeland committee, a bill t

then we have kamala harris, joe biden, with mika, margaret, being asked by mika about those moments onost struck silent, giving up some of his time when kamala harris started going after him. >> i cede my time back. >> let's play a little bit of this. >> your performance was panned. would you do something differently? >> you know, i didn't expect the particular attack and the question starting off, i know you're not a racist. i mean, it did catch me off guard. quite frankly, i have respect for the candidate who said that about me and then went on to talk about, turns out i'm not sure her position is any different on busing than mine. >> margaret, is he going to be better prepared for the next one? >> i think he might. a question that does begin or a comment, i know you're not a racist, really means, i think you are and i'm going to expose you. i can see why he was back on his heels and didn't quite expect that. especially since on the merits it turned out not to be the home run it initially seemed to be. did you notice he wouldn't even mention her name as he answered the question? he k

>> well, yeah, and thanks for having me this morning, mika. state, i have the concern if we're not speaking in ways that actually connect with people's lives. as i talk about wish list economics, we shouldn't have to be choosing between what we don't want and what we can't afford, meaning that, look, we can make progress on health care, we can make progress on college affordability, we can make progress in so many ways without just these trillion dollar plans that are mostly written for press releases. >> john heilemann. >> hey, governor, i'm running into your guys, welcome to the debate stanl lage last night. i ran into your guys afterwards and the folks that work for you, and there's a fair amount of tension and drama. are you going to get to be back on the debate stage again in september, which raises the question i want to ask which is not just about you but about a bunch of people who are in danger of being excluded from these forums going forward. i know you have raised some complaints about that in the past but i really am having a hard

this is a real issue for mayor pete. >> huge issue, mika.s trying to employ to deal with this challenge with black voters is to show that he's not just throwing out generalities or making vague promises, but that he's really thought about this .has a comprehensive set of policies to deal with systemic racism. so his adviser have emphasized that even his rivals in the 2020 race who are doing much better with african-american voters such as joe biden don't have this comp hence identify a wide ranging plan that covers health care, criminal justice reform, access to credit, all the issues across the board. but i think the question, mika, is whether voters are looking for that kind of specificity and wonky plans or whether they're looking for mere pete to connect viscerally on some of these issues and shows that he gets it in the way he struged to the with that shooting in south bend. >> yeah. i think you nailed the quandary for him. >> mayor pete is dealing still with this fallout of a white officer shooting an african-american man. how much do

. >> look no further than that quote that mika just read. it was 2002 when donald trump then business man and reality show host spoke glowingly about jeffrey epstein and said he likes girls on the younger side. well, the indictment told us the younger side means as young as 14 years old. 14 years old. one of the girls saying she still had braces when she went to jeffrey epstein's house. the original indictment from 2008 was a 53-page document, eddie, which told the same story that the u.s. attorneys in new york told yesterday. that they told it in miami and somehow jeffrey epstein walked away with a sentence of 13 months where he'd come and go to work as he pleased. >> think of all the girls -- >> exactly. >> that were abused between now and then or then and now. look, it seems to me a combination of two things. one, we have been using the phrase plutocratic rot. i think this is important. it cuts through our society. it's compromising our basic democracy at every level of government and we see it in so many ways in the criminal justice syst

mika was jumping up and down when he said. second term or jail term. let's play hard ball. >> mika lives for those hard ball opens. >> it was a good one. chris matthews crystallized the most painful day for president trump. he could be indicted when he leaves office. second term or prison term. brought to the table thanks to the republicans. good job, guys. >> he had been saying years ago, he did not think he would seek a second term. now not only is he going to seek a second term he to avoid jail time, he's going to once again to do a win at all cost campaign. it may get uglier than in 2016 because donald trump's freedom may be on the line. he's running for reelection so he won't be indicted and sent to jail. >> many have said after yesterday, we have everything we wanted. we have the report, let's turn the page and go win the election next year. that's what some democrats are saying. >> nbc's ken, thank you very much. we'll bring in one of the members. congressman hakeem jefferys and mark warner will be our guest. >> we are going to ask him why repub

. >> so mika, again, we talked about the signal, the noise. i know we need to talk about this, because this is just pure -- >> we can cover it all. including jeffrey epstein. >> we can talk about that. but let's also again before we talk about these tweets, let's talk about why he did it. well, he -- >> d-squared. >> he told his people -- he told his people that he was going to fight to get his question on the census. and the supreme court said no. then he told his people he was going to hold the press conference. and he was going to actually put it on there and to defy the supreme court. then he weakly and meekly backed down. as he might say, like a little baby. he backed down. that was one thing he did. also, he had to fire acosta. why? because donald trump knows that as long as acosta's there, people are going to say that man called jeffrey epstein a terrific guy. that man invited 25, 26 calendar girls to mar-a-lago for a vip reception but it was that man and jeffrey epstein alone at that mar-a-lago quote party were those two old men had 26

peter baker, mika, thanks to all of you.iated. >>> still ahead as candidates gear up for next weeks debate, joe biden is vowing to take the gloves off. >> ha did you mean when you said you're not going to be as polite in the next debate? >> we'll see. >> we'll see. but if he continues sparring with his rivals, is this what democratic voters really want? democratic voters really want? to end surprise medical billing. that's when patients are hit with medical bills they thought would be covered by insurance. but what congress is considering would cut money that vulnerabe patients rely on the most. that means seniors, children, and americans relying on medicaid would be hurt. it's already too hard for people to get basic medical care with hospitals closing and a shortage of er doctors. tell congress we can end surprise billing without shredding the safety net. paid for by physicians for fair coverage. you should be mad at tech that makes things worse. but you're not, because you have e*trade whose tech makes life easier by auto

you saw the national tv sitdown interview with mika brzezinski on "morning joe" and this afternoon he'lllan in front of voters probably less likely to wake up and turn on "morning joe." we are in western iowa, carroll county, a conservative part of the state but not one where voters are unreachable or unwinnable. this is a county that went to president obama in 2008 then flipped narrowly to mitt romney in 2024 before becoming a trump county in a major way in 2016. these are the voters perhaps more likely to respond to somethinglike joe biden's plan for an expanded public option building on obama care as opposed to medicare for all. he has been taking the knife out on that telling voters last night it would be the end of medicare as they know it. sure you might end up with something better he said but also might end up with something worse. we're seeing the vice president go out on the trail selling his plan and contrasting it with the plan being pushed by his more progressive opponents. >> thank you so much. back with me, former congressman david jolly. biden said he does not think his h

in his pop tarts at a snarky stormy in "the new york times" and commentary from joe scars boro and mikaski or here at msnbc, or something a soccer star or basketball player said. this is where his base is getting screwed. if he was happy with their love, and he has their love, no doubt, he wouldn't be agitating for everyone else's attention. he would be happy knowing i'm for you, you're for me, kumbaya. >> he has their worship. >> he doesn't want it. >> what he wants is if robert de niro tomorrow would call him, he would be the happiest man on earth. he wants rubt murdoch but he got robert ailes. he couldn't get rupert murdoch to fall in love with him. as growing up he's the queens rich guy who looked afghanistan bridge and said i want to be with them and they looked at him and said he's garbage. they laughed at donald trump. everybody knew -- i have gone around the country and you talk to really rich people, they laugh at donald trump. they know he wasn't a billionaire. they know it was all a joke. he knows it too. there's legitimacy cries inside of him and bottomless pits of need insi

bring z-- mika's book. >> i can't let you go with regard to the president's campaign being in turmoilescalating cold war between jeb buared kus and donald trump jr., according to a person close to don jr., that jared wants to take control of the campaign, this is all about power, according to a former west wing official and the report goes on to say that spokes people within the rnc and white house denying this. but what do you make of it? >> donald trump, his campaign in 2016 was the most nontraditional campaign ever. i think that the only traditional thing about his reelection campaign is the fact that there is, that people are trying to be the most important person and the closest to the candidate. that's actually very normal in presidential campaigns especially, so that might be the only thing that we see on the trump campaign, but, you know, i think overall from what i see and what folks are telling me is that the rnc and trump campaign are working really well together, and given that money that they have behind them, the democrats are going to have to work hard to catch up once

. >> thanks, mika. hi there, i'm stephanie ruhle. it is wednesday, july 31st, and a busy day it is, so let's get started. one debate down and another to go. tonight we're going to see part 2 of this democratic presidential debate and a lot of what we expect to see tonight will have to do with what we saw last night in part 1. it was packed with fiery moments from health care to immigration to economics. the idealogical divide between the progressives and the moderates within the democratic party was front and center. >> i think democrats win when we run on real solutions, not impossible promises. when we run on things that are workable, not fairy tale economics. >> i don't understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of running for president of the united states just to talk about what we really can't do and shouldn't fight for. >> if it's true that if we embrace a far left agenda, they're going to see we're a bunch of crazy socialists. if we embrace a conservative agenda, do you know what they're going to do? they're going to see

. >>> joe biden speaks to mika brzezinski about age, push-ups, and donald trump. donald trumper? my doctor recommended eliquis. eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot... almost 98% of patients on eliquis didn't experience another. ...and eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. what's around the corner could be surprising. ask your doctor about eli

let me bring back in mika anderson. it's unusual.been laid out was going to be kind of the parameters of what they were agreeing to. for members of a committee maybe not being able to get a question in to a witness, especially on what's going to be the biggest hearing of the entire term. i wonder if this really could be the reason behind this or i don't know if it's something else. >> i don't think we know. you're right, the idea that there would be essentially two hours for each of these committees, one hour for the republicans and one hour for the democrats, that is a hard thing. one of the committees has 40 members and the other has 20 members, so i imagine that if you're a junior member you might get sliend by this. this sort of speaks to somewhat of a division between the leadership that agreed to the deal of four hours for mueller and then the sort of dissatisfied young cohort of folks who might not get a chance to participate in the hearings. democrats obviously going into these hearings with a lot of high stakes. they're tryi

here is how mika brzezinski described the interaction on "morning joe." >> later in the footage, trump is seen talking to epstein and another man as women are dancing in front of them. trump alternates between dancing and pointing out women to epstein and the other man and telling epstein about the cameras. though exactly what they say is difficult to understand as they discuss the women and their appearances, trump gestures to one and appears to say to one, look at her back there. she's hot. and then trump says something into epstein's ear that makes him double over with laughter. >> footage was shot by nbc for profile on faith daniels' talk show a closer look. trump's behavior in the rest of the talk show hasn't aged well. >> i saw you at the celebrity chef dinner here in new york. >> and what a kiss. >> you kissed me on the lips in front of the paparazzi and i said that will cost you. i'm booking you on the show. true story, correct? >> was so good and open and nice. she is a fabulous woman. >> so open and nice. >> and her husband is a handsome devil, i tell you. he is a handsome gu
