we will try and get rachel maddow of comment on that even more alarming perhaps is what you are being commenting about the fact that the d.n.c. appears to be some kind of military junta in waiting you've been covering the out of one hundred two competitive democrat primaries in twenty eighteen forty four involved primaries with d.n.c. candidates were either involved the military intelligence or had state department backgrounds yeah it's it's not a good look right so and but by the way that's not really news in the united states i covered it on my show. there are maybe a handful of other people that i don't have covered really but maybe one or two other places that it's an unbelievable amount of intelligence community people who are running and i'm democratic primary just like you said it's our governments and our intelligence community and our corporate news which are the biggest purveyors of fake news death and destruction because they've never pushed back against one of our foreign wars and they're pushing right now for a coup and venezuela a democratically elected i don't know abou

they don't want to look at that and so bill this is what rachel maddow has devoured it is she's devolved to is to now she's like you have to speculating her whole show is speculation by the way i actually watched her show last week for an hour it's not it's it's well if this happened then maybe that will happen well if russia wanted to control the power grid you know there's a story still up in the washington post that says that russia hacked the vermont's power grid even though they didn't and even though there's an editor's note at the bottom of the article saying this story didn't really happen but they leave the story up so this is the kind of crazy red scare that's happening in the united states a rhodes scholar who hosts or own t.v. show gets paid thirty thousand dollars a day to speculate on wild conspiracy theories about whether russia controls our power grid in the united states and that's called news that's not on you tube in some corner some crazy alex jones type that's m.s.n. b c owned by comcast sponsored by the bill terry industrial complex and wall street and a thirty thou

rachel maddow is a loon. what you saw, is an example of what happens when lunacy's or plans journalism. that was an abomination. but of course, nbc has tom brokaw as their senior person who apologizes regularly for saying the obvious. >> laura: all right gentlemen, thank you so much. joining me reaction to all these developments and the government northam case, al vida king niece of martin luther king jr. and she is a staunch pro-lifein advocate for so many years, al vida, the conversation we just had that someone like ralph northam deserves at this point the comment in the decade old photographs digital photographs from his yearbook. >> alveda: there is a serious question about the integrity of the governor who would say that if a child is born, there will be a conversation with the mother and doctor to decide whether the child should live.r we are talking every child in the womb orry outside of the wob is a human being established byw science, philosophy, religion and we know that. however, when the child i

never try to be like rachel maddow is saying like it's all really about these good things in these good good quality qualities about me john bolton has been just raw and just like we want iraq's oil we want venezuela's oil this is what we're doing it for so they're so wrong that it becomes more difficult for our so-called allies like in europe germany to continue their sort of you know who are all for mamma made to look good yes yes you know he's like the marvin gaye of presidents you know just come out there and smooth it we're going to bomb you and take your oil but it's all happening downtown is all good you know but trump doesn't have a swab of obama's touch so the rest of the world is waking up maybe to the fact that hey wait a minute these are just they're stealing all our stuff you know speaking of steel and country's oil you know just touch on this for momentarily i mean scotland does have a lot of oil and the whole breadth of things mightily confusing so the u.s. could consider invading britain right now during this breaks of kerfuffle and take control scottish oil i mean i'm a

"the rachel maddow show" starts now. good evening, rachel. >> good evening, chris. thank you, my friend. >>> thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. sometimes judges issue big long written orders like this one. where the judge spells out his or her reasoning and his or her ruling and how that ruling is based on legal president and other case law and how it reflects the facts of this case and, you know, judges at every level below the supreme court know their rulings are not only potentially appealable by one of the parties, they are potentially reversible by a higher court. so judges' rulings are often quite detailed. they explain their reasoning in a lot of detail. they can be also quite narrative. they can be quite interesting. but judges don't have to do it that way all the time. when the judge does need to make an order, the judge needs to make a ruling but relatively easy stuff. or at least a relatively simple ruling on a single point and the judge just wants to get right to it and not do too much story telling to back it up. a judge can do something th

"the rachel maddow show" starts right now. good evening, rachel. >> good evening, chris. >>> thanks to you at home for staying with us for the next hour. it's been a tremendously busy day. a federal judge ruled alex acosta broke the law when he was a u.s. attorney and gaifzve a secret non-prosecution agreement to a non-serial sex offender. alex acosta is still serving as of tonight. so far the white house had no response to that federal judge's ruling today. also today, in that botched election in north carolina that resulted in there being no member of congress seated from that district, we now know how we are going to get somebody seated from the district. the state elections board unanimously ordered that a new election must be run from scratch. also today, lawyers for the president's long-time advisor roger stone put mr. stone on the stand to explain why he put a picture online this week targeting the federal judge who is overseeing his case. that judge did not jail roger stone today, which she might have done. she did issu

you know, she was asked about whether she was a moderate by rachel maddow tonight. said she believes in progress and getting things done. that's the appeal she is trying to bring. you know, she has had some issues. there have been reports about her staff, whether she's been a tough boss to work for. she has seemed to rebut them so far. it is possible that could be an issue that she will have to deal with going forward. but right now this is still a forming field, and amy klobuchar is trying to be the person that can straddle the center of this field and be someone who can offer a positive message, someone who has gotten things done in the senate and could be a counterweight to just a hard confrontational message against the president. >> jackie, can we take a minute and on behalf of half of the population talk about the record number of women in the race, period? >> yes, there are five or six women who are, you know, throwing their hat into the ring. unprecedented. i think whether you are a democrat or a republican, the diversity is welcome, but, you know, it also p

which is a losing action well conspiracy theorists always trap themselves into a corner just like rachel maddow is doing now it has to go crazy increase in crazy air so that's where he is now but where in the real world without conspiracy and in fact jackson palmer brings that up in this next tweet because there is a conspiracy of round jack dorsey and de platforming he has of course the platform to alex jones so it's really odd he notes observant cryptocurrency people flip flop between hating on jack for censoring free speech and he does that in a serial killer sort of conspiracy theorist attacks and challenge him and praise if he mentions big coin but i want to use this as a moment to highlight the fact that big queen by its nature is censorship resistance and jack as head of a company a publicly traded company called twitter is he is not resistant to censorship because he is one man in charge of a. you know essential eyes database which is twitter so that's why people can appeal to him the state department the cia the n.s.a. whoever it is that contacts them and says take that person down he

got to ask you so after two years of all the noise the accusations the counter accusations the rachel maddow meltdowns are you at all surprised that the senate intelligence committee has come forward and said they no evidence of collusion. well this is going to be one of the greatest conspiracy theories in history can you imagine with future generations will say when they look back on these two years everyone investigating everyone it's absolutely insane you know what's interesting about the senate intelligence committee's report is that it was bipartisan you know the house committee shift did not party. in it but in the senate side it was a bipartisan effort they all looked at the documents they all came to their conclusions all we saw chairman burrs say that there is no collusion i still don't know whether senator warner is not going to have to be dragged out in a straight jacket kicking and screaming because i think you told c.n.n. a little while ago that well you know there might be a still a few people for us to interview so who knows but i think really the sun has set on this conspirac

investigation but it put a greater focus on the failures of the legacy media because what what is rachel maddow going to do now is she could be unemployed because her favorite subject is gone up in thin air i mean the media is quoted itself very very poorly in covering this breathlessly looking for a bombshell bombshell and there never have been any bombshells what kind of credibility they have now not that they had much before this go ahead robert in phoenix well they would say there's often we saw this in the last administration when conservative media. every other hillary clinton has good point and no demanded that. before that we have the liberal media who is attacking president bush over every single thing that but the as if they were going to somehow bring down the president think the media all turned into this idea that they're going to be the next watergate there to be the person to break the big story and we see to hurt the media's credibility look at dan rather the swift boating. in the national. president bush in two thousand and four or this belief and as a support of a road that's

so for example and this is one of the most ironic and blatant examples you've got somebody like rachel maddow who's a rhodes scholar very smart person right who's always been. someone who has been choosy about the stories that affect the american people you would think but suddenly she's out there promoting wars promoting neo cons promoting the guys who got us into the iraq war sitting them next to her on her show and saying i've got this great guest here who's going to join me now to talk about what happened what does your dislike of trump have to do with the b.s. you're now giving to the american people and that's a legitimate question if you going to talk about content wise what's going on in our business so what is the you know you say what studios again what do you think today given that there are profit motives for some companies out there what is the secret sauce to having engaged viewers with lots of content that important for them at the same time being true when you have to to the business operandi of a lot of these networks out there i think the future of our business is going to b
