thiis leading anchors rachel maddow claims that she received a foraged n.s.a. document which she believes was sent on purpose to discredit news organizations the problem is that now there are even more questions about other reports and sources that she's relied on in the past artie's alexy are shifty reports last thursday m s n b c's rachel maddow decided to drop another scoop on her audience a few weeks ago we got a new document through that channel and at first glance it was just unbelievably red hot. it's very hard to check this stuff out classification wise it is logistically just very difficult to deal with very very sensitive but in terms of the political implications of this document that we are given its contacts. politically this thing is so sensitive it takes all the air out of the room and all of the nearby rooms as well. we believe now that the real story we have stumbled upon here is that somebody out there is shopping carefully forged documents to try to discredit news agencies reporting on the russian attack on our election maddow went on to say

rachel maddow, her show starts now.hank you for coming on and have a great weekend. >> thanks for having me on, chris. have a great one yourself. i'll see you next week. thanks at home for joining us this hour. happy friday. keep your eyes open tonight and into the holiday weekend for what in this business we inartfully call a news dump. i know it sounds kind of gross. it's supposed to sound kind of gross. friday night since time immemorial has always been a great time to release to the public information that you really do not want the public to pay attention to. and that's for the obvious reason. on weekends, people are not as plugged. so weekends in general have always been seen by politicians, public figures, corporations, as a very convenient

of the world the rachel maddow of the world they're trying to emulate the michael savage is the alex jones and the rush limbaugh of with their own can spare. series and it's working people are tuning in to rachel maddow not because she's informative but because she's a frickin a lunatic that's more entertaining than watching even more downy from the nineteen seventies one nine hundred eighty s. martin downey jr and downey jr this woman's become work down in georgia with a skirt also while we've been gone over the past few weeks of summer solutions jamie diamond was in the news. i'm jamie diamond. in the bank ground now when our last apparently jamie diamond was crying again about how embarrassing it is to be an american overseas not that he's the biggest embarrassment about being an american overseas and his big bailouts there is that but there's no crying here at freedom fest everybody has been talking about bitcoin in fact this has been the biggest topic gold silver and bitcoin. this is birth of a financial terrorist coming out of the vest of a wall street banker the one nine hundr

i wouldn't want them assigning books by michael moore or rachel maddow or someone or elizabeth warrent of all make them read papers. newspapers. be informed. have the kids don't even know how many senators there are in the country, that kind of thing. this is to advance. my friend is on that list. mark levin, make them read les miserables. great expectations. >> kennedy: i have karl marx, for kids but i don't agree with anything those two had to say about economics. i don't think they should have -- >> melissa: there can be embracing -- they see their parents pay taxes, and they know what they can buy with that money if i wasn't sending it to the government. they're very clear on the evil of taxation. i don't think there's any problem with letting kids read up both sides. you can read fiery things. you had to be to challenge your mind and think about the other side. >> kennedy: i know. they don't do it in college. they don't do that simple basic thing you're talking about but you know what, to the point of the story, this is not necessarily about gene ponder's reading list, and yes an

have ratings that rival that of a baby monitor and all of a sudden there is a spike whether it's rachel maddow whether it's c.n.n. whether you name it whether it's the late night who ever benefits from this they saw it like a moth to a flame they went in that direction but what happens is you've got these pathetic apologists who the only think you can come up with right now after the election is donald trump isn't smart he's a liar look the bottom line is simply this donald trump has no friend he is i mean he was a declared war against an idea is that because i'm going to wait and i'm going to go over you hang out here hang on michael let me let me go to spread and let me go to steve steve you know it seems to me the media is looking they want him to have a goal they want him impeached and removed so they're looking they're searching for it they're doing everything upside down ok that's not defending donald trump it's defending the presidency and the constitution and the democratic process that apparently russia is is eroding i mean it's complete fantasy it's they're doing it to themselves go

rachel maddow telling me everything is going to be ok for real i don't like t.v. seriously cosmopolitan magazine out publication that has built its reputation on being race he now says that rachel maddow saying everything is going to be all right is hotter then sex hotter than sex being reassured by a lefty t.v. host reading a teleprompter that everything is ok that's supposed to be hotter than sex so to me that's just the most ridiculous lee obvious proof of what's supposed to be cool and edgy these days and it's clearly being as lefty as possible the writer of this insanely stupid article is just trying to be cool that's what's trendy right now so that's what they'll do never mind if it's excruciating lee embarrassingly stupid as long as it's cool that's all that matters this article should have never made it past the editor's desk but the fact that it did it speaks volumes about how low the media is willing to think just to pander to the left behind mind and to me there's nothing hard about that. the series of. the experience. that you get out of the old. accor

donald trump is a new sheriff in town and when he drew a red line about syria in the words of rachel maddowned. a bomb fell from the sky he saw last week that he issued a warning, don't cross this line but assad listens. greg: joe, if the us is so bad, why does everyone want to be here? i don't get it. >> the traffic only goes one way. yeah it's a troubling study. were way down in the single digits with north korea. iran is canceled the fourth of july parade and were having trouble here. i think it makes an excellent point. barack obama wanted to be president of the world and donald trump has no interest in any of that. he just wants to be the president of the united states and that's developers the world, their popularity contest happen to the united nations internal bait where there racking up parking tickets for passing anti- israel resolutions. we won't worry about what they think and use of these countries. we can afford it. he's president of the united states and represent the american people spread exactly. [applause] i would applaud that. greg: president trump is like the angry drun

in the words of rachel maddow.this week issued a warning i do not cross this line and apparently assad listen. >> if the us is so bad why does everyone want to be here? i don't get it! >> here at the traffic only goes one way into the us. but it is a troubling study. we are down in the single digits in north korea. [laughter] >> i think amy made an excellent point, donald trump is an interest in any of what obama did. he wants to be the president of the us and if it is too bad for the rest of the world. -- we have work to do here in the us. we're not going to worry about what they think about us in other countries.we can't afford it. he is president of the united states, he represents the american people. >> exactly. [applause] >> the president, it's like president trump is the angry drunk at the end of the bar that you do not mess with. that is kind of refreshing. >> me? >> yes, just like you! >> listen, again, ginobili kept the president of the united states is a likable dude to the rest of the world. i think it

. >> jon: let's turn our attention to another media related incident, this having to do with rachel maddow on something she sat on her program last night. listen. >> a few weeks ago, we got a new document through that channel and at first glance, it was just unbelievably red-hot. if, by any chance this document is real, it is so sensitive, so classified, that i cannot show it to you. we believe now that the real story we have stumbled upon here is that somebody out there is shopping carefully forged documents to try to discredit news agencies reporting on the russia attack on our election and specifically on the possibility that strong campaign coordinated with the russians in that attack. >> jon: she sang she received a document that looks official, looks like -- essentially, it looks like it says the russians colluded with the trump campaign to alter the election. she says it's fake and she is warning journalists out there. >> she should warn us because there seems to be a concerted campaign to put out information, to discredit the american media. we do a fair amount of that ourselves un

here is what ian bremmer told rachel maddow tonight. >> they found it remarkable. they were concerned by it. it was noteworthy. and so it got out. i was quite surprised there was no read-out on it whatsoever after the meeting happened and so as a consequence i felt like this, especially because trump himself and you know, there has been so much talk about what was and what was not discussed in the formal two-hour meeting you just spoke about. did they talk about sanctions. did they talk about haks. did he push him? did he not? ukraine, all of that. none of that matters if they had an hour one on one at the dinner with only the russian translator. we have no idea what was in that conversation. >> we're joined now by michael, former u.s. ambassador to russia and msnbc contributor. also joining us for secretary of defense for russia, ukraine, eurasia. also david frum, senior editor for the atlantic. ambassador mcfaul, what could possibly go wrong with that hour with vladimir putin, donald trump and putin's translator. >> let's be clear, i was deeply disturbed by the o

"the rachel maddow show" starts now.ng through your show without 18,000 pieces of breaking news. >> i'll be sitting in for chris tonight, while ten major stories break all at once, all in the hour before you're on the air or while you're there. chris got me good. he said, i need somebody with six arms to jug will the show. joy keeps those others going. >> they're going. your turn. pass. >> cheers. thanks a lot. >>> and thanks to you at home for joining us this hour, when there is a lot of news breaking. news breaking in washington. there's news breaking outside of washington that

the rachel maddow show starts now. good evening, rachel. >> good evening, chris. thanks, my friend.for joining me this hour. so this is either, um, this is either the end of things, or things are about to get very, very weird. it's possible that things get weird and then they end. but one of those two things is definitely going to happen now. you know, in a movie, in a well-written book about a political scandal, what just happened today, what was just published today would be the end of the plot. right? there's been a confession. the worst-case scenario that anyone imagined at the start of the scandal has just been not just documented by investigative reporting, it is not contested to. it is not contested. it has been admitted to

nermeen: can you comment on your recent piece on rachel maddow about a fake nsa document you whichchses several key questions for study article dealt with this episode on the show last week. >> this is what i mean by an inside-out scoop. , for some reason, appears to be shopping a fairly convincing fake nsa document that purports to directly implicate somebody from the trump campaign in working with the russians on their attack on the election. it is a forgery. it is either a forgery or everything will national security official we consulted about this story is wrong about it. nermeen: can you talk about what you discussed in your piece and what mistakes -- how they believe this i loosely forged document -- how they believed this obviously forged document? >> rachel spent 21 minutes of her show touting this extraordinarily fascinating story that she called and exclusive. and in the introduction that you just played and many times the other segment, she depicted this forced document that she received as being this masterfully crafted highly sophisticated fake because she strongly impl

it is a valid warning from rachel maddow to make sure we authenticate document as journalists we getthe mail, but i don't to get merited the strong any wonder that this is some highly sophisticated operation on the part of some high-level trump official to publishingedia into false stories. amy: just to be clear, because it is hard to follow this when you talk about metadata, you are talking about the document you posted online from an anonymous source, which many are saying was reality winner talking about voter information that was leaked, that that piece of paper that showed where it came from -- this is the whole controversy around the intercept posting the original online -- this forger took and then replaced the words on the document with some he wanted to see if he could get out there and and you said, did in all of 10 minutes. >> right. he took the intercept document once we published it, erased the text but kept the format so it would look like a top-secret nsa document, and entered some cartoonish text about how the nsa heard the campaign manager talking to the russians abo

actually with just stickley difficult to validate something like this first things first kudos to rachel maddow for spotting red flags in that apparently fake documents and questioning the source the spite the potentially explosive headline let's just say it took quite a while for many in the mainstream media to do this with two former officials knowledgeable about the situation tells c.n.n. sources familiar with the matter tell the p.c. dues which of sources are telling us on the condition of anonymity sources oh because they're hiding behind this and they can now do you see us doing things does that mean that you're just going to attack sources to be exact over six months of nonstop coverage alleging trump russia collusion based on unnamed sources anonymous officials are leaked but unverified documents many of which turn out to be inaccurate or simply false according to meto someone out there is on a mission to discredit journalists one way to stab in the heart aggressive american reporting on that subject is to lay traps for american journalists who are reporting that it tricked news organiz

because rachel maddow came through in like sneakers on. >> yeah. >> you know what i'm saying?asual. >> yeah. >> also, every celebrity loves our show, 'cause you can come on there and curse. >> yeah. >> seth: yeah, that's a nice -- >> it's so good. >> you can't come on here -- >> seth: no, yeah. >> it's good to just let -- >> seth: and you guys don't have to beep it right? >> no, we are allowed five "f" words. >> seth: really? >> every episode. >> i thought he was going to say it. i thought he was going to say it. [ light laughter ] >> i know! you know what, every -- we've been on other shows, on major networks and we've dropped big curses on every other show. and they told us not to do it on this, so we -- >> seth: yeah, you're -- >> very careful. >> seth: by the way, i'm going to -- i -- you know what? i'll give you one. >> you'll give us one? [ light laughter ] >> come on. [ cheers and applause ] >> how many syllables do you want? >> damn, seth, are you [ bleep ] with me? [ laughter and applause ] >> seth: so wait, you get five? now are there times in your half hour show tha

a look at rachel maddow's scoop. the vice president looks to the final frontier in tonight's thing 1, thing 2, next. >>> thing 1 tonight. this young administration has shown its really into space. like really into space. >> our vice president cares very deeply about space policy. vice president pence promised that our administration, because mike's very much into space, would revive the national space council. >> that's from an executive order signing last weekend in which buzz aldrin was present. buzz didn't seem equally enthusiastic. keep an eye on his expression. >> everybody wants to be on this board. people that you wouldn't have believed loved what we're doing so much they want to be with some of the most successful people in the world want to be on this board. i felt very strongly about it. i felt strongly about it for a long time. i used to say before doing what i did, i used to say what happened. why aren't we moving forward. at some point in the future, we're going to look back and say how did we do it with

know was how little news lurks seriously they all do all the jake tapper's and katie curves and rachel maddow is out there they know how the news gets made and they don't how it works how much effort is made to convey the perspective you want to convey and they still sit there and pretend to be outraged by this new thing called big news to me the key to the really stupid or it's the outrage itself that's fake either way right now they're all ended up looking like the real fakers. it's. called the feeling of freedom to. everyone in the world should experience flamingo and you get it on the open road. the old according to just. welcome to my world come along for the ride. what you have for breakfast yesterday why would you put those for the faces your wife or two dogs like to name and what's your biggest fear when they are going to bid on a hay ride when so less time to read a book or you say if you ever met the pope who's the best quarterback. let's play on the topic that doesn't belong on the piece now i've interviewed you took the question more.

led by rachel maddow and a whole media profitable industry emerging around pushing this conspiracy that trump is also illegitimate he's not american he's somehow kremlin a russian installed just like obama is not american there's nothing american about him and we've seen the same sort of results we saw in a few weeks.

led by rachel maddow and a whole media profitable industry emerging around pushing this conspiracy that trump is also illegitimate he's not american he's somehow kremlin a russian installed just like obama is not american there's nothing american about him and we've seen the same sort of results we saw in a few weeks ago we had that shooting on capitol hill you know we have the same sort of response as a very it's a flip response to what happened under obama and fox now we have a higher rating mess and b c pushing the same sort of feeble minded people to go out and do stuff it's the flipping in the political sphere yes yes yes it's a great mess out of which will rise something brand new in this century you know typically new centuries take shape ten or fifteen years into the new century member or one of those and one thousand and fourteen thereabouts and going back a century or two you know it takes a while for the centuries to find themselves and i think in the twenty first century now the millennium goals are coming of age they're ready to exercise their political power they've got ne

cosmopolitan magazine out publication that has built its reputation and being raised he now says that rachel maddow saying everything is going to be all right is hotter then sex hotter than sex being reassured by a lefty t.v. host reading a teleprompter that everything is ok that's supposed to be hotter than sex so to me that's just the most ridiculous lee obvious proof of what's supposed to be cool and edgy these days and it's clearly being as lefty as possible the writer of this insanely stupid article is just trying to be cool that's what's trendy right now so that's what they'll do never mind if it's excruciating li embarrassingly stupid as long as it's cool that's all that matters this article should have never made it past the editor's desk but the fact that it did it speaks volumes about how low the media is willing to think just to pander to the left the hive mind and to me there is nothing hard about that. but since we don't. have the experience. you get out of the old. according to. the. problem for the. most people thing to stand out in this is this you need to be the first one on top of

obscured talk show host in belleville, illinois, and basically medicine like this guy who watched rachel maddowvery night was getting his cues from this entire thing from east st. louis. it was preposterous. >> tucker: the main democratic party, and i think there are some reasonable people still in that party in maine, hasn't said anything. i don't think we are misquoting him. he implied he want to commit violence against the president. they didn't disavow that? >> no, they didn't. i'm on a lot of, most of the main stations carry me. one of my listeners has he called the house in augusta, maine, and some flat called him back and said that the speaker is on vacation so she won't be able to comment. tucker, look back to last year. when david duke -- you can't get much more obscure than that guy, out of louisiana, a state rep for a couple of terms, he ran for governor once. he's a klansman. every time he put out a blog post about donald trump, every republican in the united states whose in elective office down the county commissioner had to be called out. what do you think of david duke? has anyon

rachel maddow breath leslie explained what happened when folks at msnbc * saw the report. >> when this story popped that trump-putin held a second secret meeting. when this news koirm out. it caused an audible. kennedy: it was a dinner with the leaders and their wives where they are supposed to rub elbows and do kissing and petting. robbie, i think there is weird stuff happening with the don, jr. meeting. but look for something in everything is so counterproductive. >> it's not a nothing burger because they lied or exaggerated, not having any contact with russia whatsoever. but at end of the day, like the leader of the free world can talk to russia. that's not wrong or inappropriate. they have gone insane on this story. it shouldn't be a bad thing ideologically for leaders of different countries to work out their differences. kennedy: i love how it's being portrayed, this is the place where the collusion really happened at a dinner with world leaders at the g-20. >> i bought a prius and now i see them on the street. now i see them everywhere. >> no matter what, it would be so great if

rachel maddow, barack obama, natalia vessel gnat sky ya with john stamos as russia and introducing gregbiff. >> this is either the end of things are things are about to to get very, very weird. >> days of our comrades, weak nights. [laughter] greg: nice. all right -- [applause] sure, why not? clap. [applause] the analysis never ends,it's always dripping in qualifiers. >> there are a lot of questions still about what's going on, but there is a lot of smoke around here. >> we spent a lot of months trying to piece some of this together, and by no end means are the pieces fitting yet. but this does, you know, seem like a significant piece. >> if there was collusion between whether it's donald trump jr. or someone else and the russians, what does that mean? then there's the big what does that mean -- >> well, we don't know. greg: yes, we don't know! hey, but don't let that stop us. [laughter] everyone is getting into the act, even the old classics. >> look, i haven't end seen everything. this is absolutely unprecedented in the history of the country. greg: just like that false document you p
