her biography of rachel jackson is called a being so gentle, the frontier let story of rachel and andrew jackson. michael henderson, help people understand the volume, the amount of change that andrew jackson brought to washington when he went to the white house. >> oh, good heavens, jackson is the first westerner. we've had virginia presidents from the also before. that jackson is completely different. he grew up in the front here. the change is enormous, socially the changes enormous. even though he's a planter, he's not of the old planter class of the south that the previous presidents had been from, and nor was he, you know like a new england are either. this is a westerner and he brings very different values and very different ambitions to the white house. >> we're going to learn that even though he was a without president, the most of his former wife is described as hung over the white house throughout the years. there why is that? >> she was the woman of his life. he loved her. she was his touchstone. and when he, should be died of just a few months before he went to be integrated

what do you think, rachel? is he willing it?” social unrest. what do you think, rachel?eadline says it all. this is not going to stop. it really isn't. i think it's telling the address we are waiting for will be the first time that trump has addressed the nation about those protests in those six days. most of his response so far has been via twitter, which is not something we've seen before. past presidents, have made a real effort to calm the situation. i also think it's telling to contrast president trump, not just with past presidents, but with his own comment about the charlottesville demonstrations, which was a white supremacist rally. his quote was there were great people on both sides and bad people on both sides. this was obviously a rally where somebody who was not protesting who was demonstrating against the white supremacist ended up being killed. so the real difference in tone there, i don't think we should under underestimate the fact this is an election year. he is trying to whip up election year. he is trying to whip up his base. we probably should not ta

rachel, you touched on this a minute oi’ rachel, you touched on this a minute or two ago. trump. basically, the story is about a marked difference between the way that twitter has treated tweets from the president of the united states, started tweets in the way facebook is treating them. what is mark zuckerberg been saying in his own defence? his defence for keeping donald trump's comments on facebook without warnings or hiding them all without misleading labels which is what twitter has done come he hasn't wanted to touch any of that and his defence, which is fairness to him a defence he has had had right from the beginning of facebook is that he wants the site to be committed to free expression and he sees serious issues with him as an individual having censorship rights over millions of people and billions of businesses and political groups and what they can freely publish on his site. and he has a point at that. i think when we look at accountability for free speech and who decides if something is problematic if something is dangerous or hate speech, you would like it

seth: hi rachel, how are you?o start by asking you a question because i feel like you did a thing that a lot of people have fantasized about doing during these times, which is you drove an rv with your family cross-country. >> yes yeah i'm kind of surprised i'm here to tell the tale but yeah, we took a 40-foot rv from the east coast to the west coast over about eight days. >> seth: now, people, i think, in their head only see the beautiful side of that was it worth it? do you recommend it? >> i do. actually, everyone was saying to us, "you guys are crazy. why would you do that? that sounds horrible." and then -- because i have a 2-year-old but it actually -- it was so much fun we -- we had the best time we went through 11 states. and, i mean, the rv is a little worse for wear [ laughter ] we made a few mistakes along the way. it took us a little while to get the hang of it we left the awning open one day and drove away - >> seth: okay. >> and took down a tree. i insisted on saving all the recycling. 'cause - >> se

>> absolutely, rachel, and that's a great question.w, mississippi tends to lag behind the rest of the nation in several things. this unfortunately is like those many things. one thing that, you know, i've constantly heard is about protecting heritage and protecting history. and as i'm sure you have also heard, bringing down the flag is about unifying the great state of mississippi. everybody in the state of mississippi -- and it's not to erase history or eradicate history. it is simply what i deem actually as an opportunity to learn from history and to not repeat the past. and so bringing down the flag in a sense, to me, pushes us in a more promising direction of hope, and that's exactly what this past weekend was all about. >> how do you think that it did come together? obviously there's been so much activism and so many efforts to do this, including from members of the chamber where you sit right now. what was it that made this the right moment? >> yeah, absolutely. and so, you know, we get the credit here in the legislature for push

rachel clarke moved from her work in hospices to hospital wards to get closer to those in fact it.nths and the majority of patients that i've been seeing in the hospital where i work had been very frail, overwhelmed, very quickly, by the illness. sometimes they are so short of breath, they are struggling hard to breathe. they can barely talk at all and we almost have to communicate using gestures, so they nod and shake their heads to communicate with me. and it's a real challenge wearing our ppe, our personal protective equipped mint, to communicate with the kind of care and compassion that you'd normally like to because you have literal physical barriers between you and your patients. but we all try our utmost to convey that care and convey that every single patient matters. it's a bit of a unique situation, isn't it, because if you're dying and you can't touch anyone and you can't properly see anybody around you, that is really brutal? absolutely, and i think that's one of the great cruelties of this disease, the fact the infection control measures not only put up these physical

bounties in afghanistan to kill americans for more on this developing story let's turn to our views rachel blevins she's joining me here in studio as rachel what has the official response been from all the various sides while president trump was quick to deny this report and he responded on twitter of course where we called on the new york times to reveal these anonymous sources that they claim to be citing he then went on to say quote intel just. reported to me that they did not find this info credible and therefore did not report it to me or vice president penn's possibly another fabricated russia hoax now a spokesperson for russian president putin also spoke out denied the report and he called the credibility of the new york times in a question noting that they have published a number of false report specifically about russia in recent years take us know what else he had to say. these allegations that russian security services paid the taliban to attack the americans or ally secondly the special services in the us remain to be accountable to the president i suggest focusing on president

so sean hannity is always the bad guy he's always like the andre the giant in this situation and rachel maddow is really more of the hulk hogan character so they go out every night and it's quite exhausting after a while because if they you know to make an exciting sean hannity's should put on a dress and do m s n b c every once in a while and rachel maddow should put on some cameo you know and put on some heavy weight lifting gear and go and do fox every now and then just to add some variety to the entertainment because it gets very very stale well i think it's even more than just the those presenters there are just presenters and gladiators fighting our various. right or left red team blue team gladiators the politicians the lobbyist the you know all the deep state who are heroes presented on m.s.n. b c their former f.b.i. officials and their former n.s.a. officials and their former department of defense officials and they go on television and say yeah we're going to get that chunk guy he's no good and he colluded with the russians and then behind the scenes we saw with the revelation

"the rachel maddow show" begins now. >> thank you, chris. happy to have you here. the s&p 500 dropped nearly 6% today. the dow jones industrial average dropped nearly 7% today. dropped over 1,800 points. today we learned that more than 1.5 million more americans filed for unemployment in the past week. the good news about this statistic is that is -- 1.5 million is the the lowest number of americans who have applied for unemployment in the past ten weeks. the bad news is that that number today is horrific, and it is still easily more than double the worst week we ever previously had for unemployment claims before this crisis, which was back at the absolute depths of the great recession. our best week in ten weeks is still more than twice as bad as it has ever been before. that's how bad things are. the economy is officially in recession. the fed is predicting not only a severe 6% plus economic contraction for the country this year, the fed is also predicting that unemployment will stay above 9% for the year, and will stay high beyond that. and, you know, we have sp

rachel, i'd like to end at the beginning, ina rachel, i'd like to end at the beginning, in a way, andalliative ca re i'm talking to you as a palliative care specialist. the sense i get from what you do is that covid is bringing us deaths in unimaginable numbers, but we shouldn't turn away from the fact of death and the process of dying. yeah... ithink process of dying. yeah... i think there is no denying the last x months have been stunningly traumatic for us all as we have been through this pandemic, but i don't believe it is wholly bleak. i think in times of upheaval and uncertainty, we actually learn and uncertainty, we actually learn and we discover profoundly important truths about how we want to live our lives, who we want to be, how we wa nt to lives, who we want to be, how we want to do things differently, and i think this pandemic in a sense is a little bit like my work in a hospice with patients who are approaching the end of their life, only writ large on a global scale. and by that imean large on a global scale. and by that i mean that patients who know they are dying have

eric: what would you have done, rachel? mean, he apparently was over the legal limit according to the police. would you say just go home and we'll drive you home? >> no. welsh, that's what they would have -- well, that's what they would have done in the olden days. how many people remember in the olden times keys left in the tail pipe by the officer who of let the person go home. this should not have ended in this man being killed. it's not right that he ran away. the officer shouldn't have chosen shooting him as a solution to him running away. here's a suggestion, in this climate -- eric: we have to go because we're up against the clock. >> if he was running away at that point, they had his car that, had his registration, they knew what he looked like, he's on video. when a police officer has someone turn to them with a taser who had just taken them to the ground, swung a punch, tried to tase them, we can't get into their mind in that split second and say is this guy going to tase me, come back for my gun and shoot me, we

blevins joins us now to discuss the details thank you rachel how are these countries and what countries are they and how are they responding to the protests. but we're seeing them here in the . well china has been one of the most vocal countries and it's interesting because just recently we see a protest in hong kong where the united states is cheering on the protesters encouraging them but also criticizing china for wanting to crackdown on those protests now when it comes to the protests that are happening here in the u.s. china is taking a different approach and we saw a spokesperson from china's foreign ministry speaking out and she took to twitter where she actually shared a broadcast from r.t. america which highlighted the contrast between how the tramp ministration referred to those who take part in the riots here in the u.s. as dogs and those who take part in riots in hong kong as heroes then iran's foreign minister added to the mix also on twitter and responded by releasing a previous statement from the us where he made a few changes so that instead of claiming the people of ira

america correspondent rachel weapons welcome rachel thank you so much for having me . so. what is the official word yeah that's been from all sides right so we've heard president come out and say that he denies this report he denies of course that he was briefed and his claim that he made on twitter was really interesting because he went on to say that he talked to intelligence officials and they claim that they decided not to brief him on it because they saw the claims and they didn't think that they were credible and then of course he went on to go after the new york times claiming that they just wanted to publish this because they don't like him you know and that's kind of diver that he takes and it's interesting because then we see the response from russia and a spokesperson for president putin spoke out of it he said he also denies these claims he denies that russia was involved in any of this and then he also went after the new york times by saying that they have published enough. for a false report specifically about russia in recent years now it's interesting becau

will ferrell and rachel mcadams. >> hi, good morning. >> so great to have you here, rachel, i want tottle bit of a summer vacation. you took a break but had to do it the way so many are doing, you took an rv trip. >> yes, we did. we took an rv from the -- basically the east coast to the west coast over eight days. >> eight days. >> that's a rush trip. >> yes. >> how did it go? >> we finally learned how to use it by the time we got to california. >> always takes a while to figure that out, will, we know you've got three sons. how are you and your wife going to keep them occupied this summer? >> well, i think that's the big question so many families are facing. you know, with that much male energy in the house, i think what i'm going to do is just build like a steel cage in our living room and train them to be mma fighters. and just use all that excess male energy to their advantage, that and they have to take out the trash. so those are the main two focuses. >> two big goals. that is some excellent quarantine hair you have there. >> thank you. yes. >> it's truly working? >> this is not

i will mention two things before i let rachel have a chance at this. we will not have -- about a requirement for congress, unlike state to get together every year they have to consider what they want to do and what they have to take away, have to balance the budget even if they do it with more debt. in washington there is no need to set priorities, give the democrats what they want and republicans what they months -- want, go ahead. unless we have an institutional requirement to balance the budget, we will run this country in a whole. we don't have dramatic cuts in order to make that work. we have many plans from six years to 10 years, how do you get to a balanced budget, faster than you grow on our debt and we can do that if there's a will to do it. folks like weston and this whole group d side we've got to be more responsible as a country for you folks to have a future. all we do is devalue our currency over time and it will be worth less. i bought a brand-new camaro in college, if you don't believe the value of the money is falling, i will turn it o
