neal katyal is back with us.another case for the justice department inspector general. >> it does. and it's extraordinary, lawrence. i served at the justice department twice. i literally never heard of career prosecutors resigning because they think the attorney general is acting politically. it just never, ever happens. and yet it's happening here. as we were talking about a moment before, roger stone, prosecutors there resigned as well. and there are a lot of other cases that you and i -- you that don't hear about in the media but that i hear about because d.o.j. people call me at lower levels and say you know, as one person told me recently, "i'm sick to my stomach" about what's happened, the politicization of the justice department. last week you also had one of four president trump's people on his law enforcement commission resign because he said that trump had politicized that. you had a department of homeland security -- official whistle-blower and say trump and his cabinet secretary had ordered him to min

. >> joining us now is neal katyal, former acting u.s. solicitor general and an msnbc legal contributor. neal, interpret for us what this means, that the inspector general is investigating basically what aaron zelinsky told congress. >> it's a pretty big deal, lawrence, to have the inspector

neal, i'm curious your views first? >> first of all, i think it's important to acknowledge what we lost. justice ginsburg was an amazein jurist and changed our lives. she made the cold words of the 14th amendment a modern day reality for so many people and opened doors. so there isn't a way to replace her in six days or six months or frankly six decades. but what president trump is doing is, i think, reprehensible. he's afraid he's going lose the election, so he's trying to jam this nomination through. and i think he should do, and the senate should do what president lincoln did, when a supreme court justice died, president lincoln didn't say i'm going to stick it to the other side or something like that, he said i'm going to wait until after the presidential election and the next president will -- whoever wins the election, will make that nomination. >> yeah. mya, we're getting already a lot from president trump who, of course, is quite vocal about whatever his process is, whatever he's hearing, and who he might name,

o'brien who is seen asa there was neal o'brien who is seen as a loyalist and even by the end of it heas saying let us out of lockdown. so i think when you have mps who are more naturally antilock down or in other scenarios could see | tight down or in other scenarios could see i tight marginal, i think that does put pressure on the government where they have to face down angry mps will add pressure in terms of decision—making. will add pressure in terms of decision-making. 20 seconds each on it nicola sturgeon were in her ta rta n fa ce it nicola sturgeon were in her tartan face mask with an independence push renewed. pretty symbolic and nothing more than that. it is and we would expect her from her with elections next may in scotland so she is excess —— setting up scotland so she is excess —— setting up her stall scotland so she is excess —— setting up herstalland scotland so she is excess —— setting up her stall and independence. scotland so she is excess —— setting up her stalland independence. so i'm not sure there is much to surprise there but i think we can exit the big showdown

folks i've talked to in boston, in massachusetts politics, expect neal to hold on.ng a race here. and it's one we'll be watching when the polls close tonight at 8:00. >> the battle of the generations. thank you so much, garrett haake. >>> next, the health care heroes. we'll meet the nurses who stayed behind during hurricane laura to care for newborns in the nicu. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. >> reporter: besides being afraid and, you know, distressed, we didn't go without anything. and the babies didn't even realize there was a storm going on. there was a storm going on are you still at risk for a heart attack or stroke? even if you're on a statin? statins may lower some risks, but may not be enough. that's why science delivered vascepa. for people who have persistent cardiovascular risk factors and take a statin only vascepa is clinically proven to provide 25% lower risk from heart attack and stroke. don't take vascepa if you're allergic to icosapent ethyl or any inactive ingredient in vascepa. tell your doctor about any medicines you take, a

neal, good to talk to you.ople were surprised by this, because people thought it was based on the representation of the house of representatives. sitn't weird how this vote would happen? explain that to our viewers. >> it is weird and so remarkable that we're talking about this and this and all these other scenarios are usually unthinkable. it's only thinkable now because of one fundamental thing, president trump doesn't care about the law or rules, he doesn't care about institutions. he cares only for himself. and so there's a fear that if the election happens in november, he won't concede. and he's intimated that, including in those clips you were just playing. normal presidents concede. starting in 1896, that's when the modern era begins. that concession is not just about grace but a profound act of democracy, letting the country move on. so what trump is talking about is this 12th amendment gambit, which lays down the rules if there are not 270 clear electoral votes. at that point, you have each state deleg

joining me now is neal katyal.e that william barr made this history on behalf of an accused rapist who has publically confessed on video and audiotape to sexual assault on the access hollywood video. >> that's right, lawrence. and i think that most important thing is that what's happened in this barr maneuver is not simply intervening to help out the president. he's actually gone in and said the u.s. government is the defendant in this case, not trump. in order to pull off that maneuver, he's got to be able to say that trump is acting in his official capacity. so, lawrence, i never thought in my life i would hear the hallowed justice department argue that a president is doing his job as president, that it is part of his official duties to call someone who alleged rape a liar, but that's the argument that barr has now filed. and here is what it means. it means not just that you and i as taxpayers are paying for trump's legal deens ifensdefens. it means a lot more. so really, this legal maneuver is a bid to try and e

congressman richard neal speaking to katty kay. more on dominic raab's visit from our washington correspondent, nomia iqbal. brexit is really high on the agenda here in washington, dominic raab has been visiting to try to reassure us politicians on the latest british developments, he had a press conference with the us secretary of state mike pompeo and when asked a question by the bbc about the concerns around it, mr pompeo said that he trusted the uk to get it right. but nancy pelosi a very powerfulfigure here has her reservations, she said there is no chance of a uk—us deal getting through. she is a very powerful woman here. her party controls the lower house of congress. joe biden also adding his viewpoint in saying if he becomes president on november the 3rd, he will not allow peace in northern ireland to become a casualty of brexit. nomia, i want to also put to you something that president trump has said a short time ago. president trump was claiming about a vaccine being rolled out imminently in the us. let's have a listen to

. >> neal katyal, i'm going put you on the spot with a twist.s someone whose reverence for the supreme court is one of the gifts you give to all of our viewers? how do you feel about the supreme court if claire is right becoming a 6-3 quite conservative majority? >> well, first of all, just the loss of justice ginsburg, no matter who replaced her is a devastating blow to the court as an institution and as a beacon of justice. so i think we have to acknowledge that loss first. and then second, as we think about the replacement, i mean just even if judge barrett, you know, does act in a balanced way as a jurist on the supreme court, the problem is the process has been so broken and this rush to put her through, to get her confirmed because the president is worried he'll lose his reelection and the fact that he says stuff like in the nomination like about protecting america's heritage and stuff, all of this to me really does undermine the beautiful institution of the supreme court. and i think that's been trump's plan all along. he is resistant and

funny, but, you know, i'm sure there's a lot that don't >> seth: my -- we have a friend in common, nealarted doing -- you've done some standup comedy. you've hosted some roasts. is this something that you still do >> yes i -- neal has been great to me he's sort of my comedy mentor, sort of took me under his wing and let me see how it really works. but i do host a comedy -- a standup charity event every year i wasn't able to do it this year, obviously, but i've done stuff for that neal's done that show. so, nothing right now. but yeah, i have gotten on stage. it's -- it's absolutely terrifying, but it's always fun. >> seth: i think it's nice for people to hear that you were also terrified by it, because too many people think it's unique to them that they're scared of getting on stage but -- so thank you for sharing that and letting them know that it is for all people >> yeah, of course, of course. >> seth: so your podcast, "the pursuit of healthiness" -- what made you do this podcast about this area? >> i've always been interested in health and wellness my mom was very into health and nu

neal, thank you for joining us. taken a few minutes. i'm seeing this story.ring that famous old newspaper headline from the '70s when gerald ford was president. new york city wanted a bailout. he said no. "ford to city: drop dead." that was the story back in the '70s. this is a little different. this isn't a city asking for money. this is a city that already gets federal money, a series of cities that already get federal money. let me ask you this. what could a president who wanted to defund cities -- what could a president do? is there anything in a situation like this? what would it be? >> well, i don't think -- i mean i think presidents do have a range of power, but what they don't have is the ability to label, as trump does, a city anarchist and then defund it. you know, it's ironic because trump is the true anarchist here. he believes no law applies to him, and here he is criticizing cities for anarchy. and it's doubly ironic since these very cities that he's calling anarchic are the ones investigating his potential illegality with stormy daniels and all

want to continue this conversation with neal katyal. good to see you this afternoon.y appreciate it. let's talk about some of the tools the democrats have here. we are hearing from bob casey earlier in the hour when i spoke to her and richard blumenthal that this is as much a conversation about the affordable care act and how many americans will be effected if they overturn the affordable care act, dismantle it, over 20 million americans could feasibly lose health care. that to me sounds like this is more about november 3rd than it is about prohibiting judge barrett from making it to the bench on the supreme court. talk to me about other tools the democrats have in mind or have in their hand. >> sorry. >> go ahead, neal. >> i would say this is not just about november 3rd, this is about one of the most momentous issues of the country. the supreme court is scheduled to hear a big case a week after the election, this is a legal theory that challengers have brought which very few people with any constitutional respectability think should be viable, but the trump administr

. >> i want to turn to neal katyal, someone who has argued before the court as an oral advocate many times argued before justice ginsburg. your thoughts on her passing >> heart broken. i argued 41 cases in front of her, knew her outside of the court. her husband was a friend of mine at georgetown. and just the loveliest of people and a great jurist and a true american hero. and, you know, like this is someone who never missed a day of court until 2018, several rounds of cancer and chemo and the like i was in the courtroom the day after her husband marty passed away she was there delivering an opinion. even, you know, i had just recently been arguing in front of her when she was going through chemo and the like doesn't miss a beat. always really sharp questions. asked usually the first question of anyone and usually that question would get to the heart of the thing so this is not just someone who was, you know, leaves a legacy in all sorts of ways on equality and other things this woman is just darn smart. you know, just analytic power was off the charts and we lost today the best of

stay with us, david, i want to bring in neal katyal neal, this is a tough one.ne of the best known of the supreme court justices, and most revered, particularly by american liberals for her classic dissents, as david corn just said. the idea of women, gender equality and the things that she advocated for. talk a little bit about what this loss means. >> yeah. i don't think that it's just this is a loss for liberals at all. this is a loss for america ruth bader ginsburg was a true american hero in every sense of the word she as a lawyer argued some of the most important cases on gender equality, as a justice pioneered all sorts of different areas of law and had a brilliant, strong voice. you know, i am heartbroken beyond words that she is no longer with us some culture the thurgood marshall of the women's rights movement that was true, and part of her legacy, but there are so many more i think history will remember her incredibly, kindly and influentially in a way that isn't true for all of the justices in our lifetimes but is certainly true for her >> yeah. i me

and as neal was pointing out, the advantageous thing is that it fits in in a way we haven't seen beforehis voters, votes were not being counted, that they were being discarded and that helps advance that narrative with his base and it really softens the ground as he is softening the ground in other areas by contending justice department and that the election, there may be questions about the election coming up to it, saying he won't take the results. this gives his base the ammunition they're looking for. >> barr also briefed him on the investigation, another practice that isn't normal. what's the plan, to alienate christopher wray as the lone truth teller, to create a parallel reality? at the end of the day it doesn't contradict christopher wray's sworn testimony. or ben ginsburg's testimony, they have been searching for voter fraud, never found any except out of donald trump's mouth. >> look, i think what's going on here is the ultimate battle for the narrative. and if donald trump can pick up different scraps to use to make his argument that voter fraud, that mail-in voting is fraudu
