initially when i watched the initial reactions on you know particularly rachel maddow and in her orbit there they're in a state of denial right now would you would is it fair to do to characterize it as denial rob yes i've i've never been a fan of rachel show and i've always wondered if she ever considered the fact that she's never not only is she never going to convert a republican to a democrat you're going to drive democrats away from the party because arrogance and condescension just are are not good. good attributes to have but for me i've i've always got on to one question i have for everybody which is if your child behave like donald trump would you tolerate it and i don't see how anybody could say yes i'd love my son to go to school and bully everybody and to be an up doc just jerk i've never he said with a drug colluded i've always looked at it as more like incompetence i had dinner with chris christie a couple of weeks ago when he was talking about the lack of organization and the incompetence of the. ministration i think the that would be my take on it they were in an affect

we went to break this idea that about half a million viewers didn't tune in the next night to rachel maddow who had previously watching the night before because they were in such disappointment so here's what really happened though and this is what's truly sad about this situation it's been happening the media for years is that we are in this. this vacuum of being validated in the belief that we hold i believe that trump is a spy therefore i watch rachel maddow because she tells me trump is a spy therefore i can tell my friends i saw on t.v. that trump is a spy right and so it's this cycle that we go through with viewers and unfortunately what's happened now is those viewers are at a loss for where to go because they can't get validated so now you only have to double down if you're rachel maddow chris matthews if you're don lemon do you have the double doubt and now you have to say well maybe mohler was in on it maybe he's part of what's going on maybe this whole thing was a trick and it was a setup from trump from the very beginning it's controlled opposition to say can we go back to actua

a noticeable decline during prime time i was likewise one of the most popular m s n b c and as rachel maddow lost half a million viewers a week that's about twenty percent of her audience while the trump friendly folks news channel has seen a jump of more than a million views c.n.n.'s chief correspondent trying to explain the trend saying that just hasn't be much news since the bombshell the findings were announced and in the u.s. congress it seems that some democrats are still not ready to throw in the towel long collusion. and no thank you mr attorney general we do not need your interpretation shell less so less pull its. own conclusions my colleagues may think it's ok that the russians offered dirt. on a democratic candidate for president as part of what was described as the russian government's effort to help the trump campaign you might think that's ok what would be the proper adjective shameful. and. irresponsible of the president of the united states and their public and on the intelligence community to take the actions that they have i think it's an ethical i think it's unpatriotic a

their pants and it was trickling down their legs all right let's see the first few seconds of the rachel maddow show on monday of this week after she learned what was in the molar report. you know is going to be this kind of night and you know. yeah i tried to go on vacation these last few days did not work so i have got questions i have lots of questions yeah. ok yes you have a lot of such as number one how did i ingest the brain parasite that has taken hold . number two is it possible to teach said parasite that we already did the mccarthyism hysteria thing in the nineteen fifties and it was not good all right and number five eleven you have said parasite middlebury russia hang gliding bob we're going to start your target was. you know why. now before we continue to look at the reactions of pathetic snake oil salesmen and women i want to make clear how horrific this insanity has been donald trump is corrupt he's been corrupt since way back when he was selling trump board games that included a special get out of grabbing free card. for the whole family he was involved in thousands of lawsuits

friends begin to worry about rachel maddow after she doesn't tire first up i'm so crazy wrong direction we're. sorry but if you. want my. life. as a tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implement from the inside venezuela things were different we're going to announce sanctions against petroleum to venezuela associate. in the school of a supplement to. them for some political battle so on the people who come up the moment. the whose story is a new nixon called in henry kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated in latin america i know terms of economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make. the chilean economy scream so wants to make the economy of venezuela screed. federal reserve bank the european central bank the bank of england the bank of japan they are fifty sixty seventy percent leveraged much more leverage than long term capital management ever was much more lovers and lehman brothers or bear stearns e

they don't know where to point their fingers and is a problem that publicly we are talking about rachel maddow is a useful idiot for defense contractors thank you so much because reporting only friends thank you and that's going to do it for this edition of cars a report with me max kaiser and stacey over like this like our guest nomi prins to . try to catch us on twitter it's time to report in til next time. seemed wrong. but old just don't hold. any. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart and we choose to look for common ground. the tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been only implement for inside venezuela things are different we're going to announce sanctions against. the venezuela so if you. have a supplement to. get out of that. data to. the people of the moment the focus of the who story isn't new makes him cold in henry kissinger to tell on. social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make. the economy scream so wants and maki

here about this too and that keeps showing to me is now you have a whole bunch of people that rachel maddow who i guess can't i guess can she go back to fly fishing trout fishing now or not i don't know. if it's a thing where it's what how do you do it like what else do they do with their time and it brings me to this question that i have to ask you could how do we fix this it seems that this idea of access journalism they didn't need the facts and i'm sure the rachel maddow and the dockers' of the world have their sources saying we absolutely have this we have them you know dead to rights we've got trump on a video or whatever that's within the intelligence community what do we do about that kind of access journalism where they're getting fed information and well i've i've written about this many times in the past this is a massive loophole in the whole system of western journalism this this problem being fed thing by unnamed government sources and very often you'll see the traditions go to more than one person you'll see. for people familiar with the matter or for current former a former

don't know where to point their fingers and it is a problem that publicly we are talking about rachel maddow is a useful idiot for defense contractors thank you so much because reporting only friends thank you and that's going to do it for this edition of cars a report with me max kaiser and stays forever like to thank our guest nomi prins the book is. gonna catch us on twitter it's time to report in til next time. to get a. wish to the. from the officer to the toilet his crew. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the weapon ones missed and then what happened on tree swung at the officers hands didn't hit him i never saw any contact between the two at any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again fifteen feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and aimed it on tree. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. want to be. the two going to be cross this is what before three in the morning can't be good i'm interested always in the waters about how

between now commentary television is not nude in its commentary given all that's happened since and rachel maddow in particular she has certainly pushed the smaller matter but she's done so in a way that was supported by the facts we knew at the time so i'm not prepared to go with any of the folks who say this was hysterical this was wrong certainly was driven by the commercial interests of television in terms of what they covered. that angle commercial considerations tends to get over the focus is usually on ideology since madhouse network m s n b c leans to the left politico however since marketing itself as america's anti trump news channel m s n b c has seen record ratings at times maddow has drawn more viewers in her nine pm slot then her competition at fox news just a few years ago that would have been unheard of the publication of them. report had an instant effect on that i was numbers ratings for her first two shows after the report's release were down by more than twenty percent as telling as the voices n.b.c. puts on the air to discuss russia gate is who it does not journalists like ma

"the rachel maddow show" starts right now. good evening, rachel. >> good evening, chris. thanks, my friend. thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. man, this day! this day was only one day, even though it feels like it was ten, ten, ten days in one. but, you know, only one way to get through it is to just start getting through it. let's just jump in. all right? here we go. this is how it started when the judge came back from recess. before the recess she had heard arguments from the prosecutors from the special counsel's office. she had had quite a lot of back and forth with the defense counsel. she had heard an apology from the defendant, who spoke from his wheelchair, and then she took a break. so deep breath. everybody collect yourself, and then when she comes back from

rachel maddow says we have the best staff on capitol hill and i agree. krista, whoo rank is our number one person with regard to foia. giving her blood, her sweat, and her tears for this cause. please give her a hand. [applause] i was a thank you for inviting me here today. and for honoring me with this sunshine in government award. it is especially gratifying to risk use this award from the news media for open government. i truly appreciate the critical work that you do every single day. over the last two years we have seen sinister attempts to , andmine the free press ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you something -- 200 years from now, people will be reading about this. -- theyt us to question will say i can't believe that they elected barack obama twice. and they will say, i can't believe that they elected donald trump. and they will say, during this. -- during this period, and by the way, this is not coming from a democrat, it is not coming from a republican, it is coming from a human being. when you sawtion, , wheness being suppressed you saw a wh

earlier on this network tonight committee chairman nadler talked to rachel maddow. >> we've been having very positive responses from a number of the 81 people today. for two years the american congress did no oversight of the administration. none. they in fact acted as shields for the administration, for whatever they wanted to do. we have to protect the rule of law. and that means we have to investigate and hold hearings for the american people if the administration is involved in abuses of power or obstruction of justice. >> now, chairman nadler says both mueller's office and the southern district of new york are aware that his committee has made these requests. the recipients now have two weeks to comply. the 81 names listed today are just the start. a house judiciary committee source is telling nbc news. according to this very source, quote, that was the first phase of document requests. we have more letters coming soon. well, tonight the white house press secretary put out this statement about the inquiry. it reads in part. today chairman nadler opened up a disgraceful and abusive

>> i would say probably rachel maddow because she substituted her own judgments about the president whichknow, russia this, russia that. i'm a russia hawk by the way. i think russia is a u.s. adversary but to suggest that through the trump administration they are practically running the u.s. and all her viewers coming along for this ride up until the mueller report came out and got shattered. >> you are saying the thoughts were facts to them and their opinions were facts. let's show joe scarborough talk about what the backlash has been against reporters. let's show you his take on criticism of reporters. watch. >> just because you're sucking up to donald trump and just because power is all that matters to you and just because you will justify everything that man does and just because you are corrupt, just because you're not a journalist, just because you have sold your soul to a personality, don't knock reporters at the new york times or the washington post or the "wall street journal" or the broadcast networks for doing their job right. >> okay. all right. you know, yes, call out the pre

rachel maddow, the base of msnbc, supposedly a news channe. yesterday, prominently featured on the cover of "the new york post," along with the title "mueller madness: who got it the most wrong?" to actually put up brackets of the media's numerous collusion conspiracy theorist. as you can see, oh, yeah, she is the number 1 seed. by the way, you can see my filled hood bracket on hannity.com. and you better believe she has earned that position. night after night, never ending lies, one bizarre conspiracy theory after another. and she has been rewarded for being the number one liar, conspiracy theorist in america. nobody ever has challenged her or vetted her or questioned her. as to to the deaths and lengthe has a song to end this process recklessly suggesting that the kremlin and putin are controlling the white house, that donald trump is a russian puppet, and vladimir putin is pulling all the strings in our very own federal government. watch with your own eyes and see if you believe this. >> maybe he has not really under audit. all of those lit

rachel maddow's ratings were up bigtime, and she discover discovered it. >> we don't want to be dull in our business. [laughter] howard: i asked this question to donald trump jr., is he going to keep talking about mueller and keep talking about it until election day? >> who -- howard: is the president of the united states going to keep making -- >> trump isn't talking about mueller, he's talking about us, the media, you know? i wish he would talk about mueller. if he had talked more about the russia collusion charge early on, we wouldn't have had all these suspicions. the fact is when you gather what facts you've got and then you start to draw some conclusions, when you start speculating excessively, you're absolutely right, there was too much of that mixed up with news coverage, however -- howard: let me -- >> returning prettier prizes, that's grandstanding. pulitzer prizes. they're still true. howard: now, just breaking more this morning, lucy flores, she was the democratic nominee in nevada for lieutenant governor, has written a chilling piece in the ne

jonathan capehart, let me just -- you are maybe too young to remember kenneth starr but rachel maddowa very helpful look back at what happened within 48 hours of kenneth starr concluding his report, more than 400 pages, plus all of the underlying material. take a look at the pictures, cartons and cartons of material. one copy for the democrats, one copy for the republicans, all delivered to the gerald r. ford building on capitol hill to be distributed very quickly to the public through the media. it was read live on the air. and some of it was pretty disgusting because of the details. but this was nothing that involved classified material, and it was nothing that was deliberately or politically redacted to prevent embarrassment for the president and his allies, jonathan. >> what an innocent time, andrea. it was a completely different time in america where you had even an independent counsel going after the president of the united states, operating by the rules. >> not exactly. >> as we knew then. >> leaking, going to the public, not observing any of the proprieties of robert mueller.

"the rachel maddow show" starting with the one and only rachel maddow begins now.hel. >> good evening, chris. how is your friday going? >> it's good. not quite as eventful as yours has been but it's been good. [ laughter ] >> thank you very much. giving it away, as always. thank you, my friend. >>> i will tell you what chris is referring to is that a couple of hours ago, maybe even less than that, i was standing knee-deep in a trout stream in tennessee. [ laughter ] >> but now it's mueller time and so i'm in a studio in the great state of tennessee. the trout are basically just as safe as they were when i was flailing away at them this afternoon. but now it is --

i have a phenomenal staff, rachel maddow says we have the best staff on capitol hill, and i agree. i want to thank christa boyd who has been our number one person with regard to foia, giving her blood and sweat and her tears for this cause. please give her a hand, please. >> i want to thank you for inviting me here today and for honoring me with this sunshine in government award. it is especially democrat fieg to receive this award from the news media for open government. i truly appreciate the critical work that you do every single day. over the last two years we have seen sinister attempts to undermine the free press and, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you something, 200 years from now people will be reading about this period. they ask the question, they will say, i can't believe that they elected barack obama twice, and they will say i can't believe they elected donald trump, and they will say -- and during this period -- i want you to listen to me carefully -- and, by the way, this is not coming from a democrat, no the coming from a republican, coming from a human being. the

that is why poor rachel maddow with her tinfoil hat conspiracy hat lost all credible. why cnn and nbc are now experiencing dramatic ratings decline precipitously it's unreal and deserved. that is why the tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist, adam schiff the only one left standing facing urgent calls, rightly so, to resign from the position atop the house intel committee. take a look. >> your willingness to continue to promote false narrative is alarming. the findings exposed you as having abused your position to knowingly promolt false information. as such we have no face in the ability to discharge the duties in a manner consistent with the constitutional responsibility and urge the immediate resignation as chairman of the committee. >> i think it's immoral. i think it's unethical. i think it's unpatriotic. yes, i think it's corrupt. evidence of collusion. i don't think it's okay that his attorney lied to our committee. there is a different word for that than "collusion." it's called "compromise." i will not yield. >> you made things about all of us that we should get the

invested more air time more of her own credibility on the case for collusion than m s n b c's and rachel maddow as if the worst is true. if the presidency is effectively a russian op if you had to pick one person who promoted the hysteria then. she would be that person her ratings were going down until trump was elected in until russia gate became a possibility and she seized on it immediately well before trump's inauguration are about to find out if the new president of our country is going to do what russia wants with this story she she started playing a character where she sort of became this patriotic. sort of front actor there been tons of russians there was a very powerful element of really fear there ran through her shows that mean the most ensure this broadcast was the one during a cold front earlier this year russia can just shut off the electricity they have that ability now where she suggests that the russians have the capability to turn off the heat across the united states at any moment what would happen if russia killed the power in fargo today you know that would be an act of war

rachel maddow is one of the most influential tv hosts in the country.very single night misled millions of liberals into believing something that was totally false and will be no media consequences for it. no that is extremely grave matter how much is true about how corrupt donald trump is in his financial dealings or any of the other stuff that people are now trying to deflect our attention on two. amy: glenn greenwald, i will you to imagine for a moment of this investigation did not happen for the last three years -- or whether did, but the press did not pay much attention until mueller came up with his results as he has now. what the press could have been doing. you alluded to it in the last answer, dealing with issues, for example, moving into the 2020 presidential election now. coming out of the defeat of hillary clinton. what could the media have done if it wasn't saying it was simply stolen from her, but exactly what the policies the democrats were representing that might have led to her defeat? >> right. that is the question. why did millions of

that is all for this evening, the rachel maddow show starts right now. >> good evening, chris vhave a great weekend. >> happy friday. since it's friday that of course means ten pounds of news in a five-pound bag as usual. we should get a bigger bag for this day of the week. we got a lot to get to tonight, including the still expanding, still developing story first broken in the "new york times" last night that president trump overruled career national security officials and ordered that his son-in-law jared kushner be given a security clearance despite whatever it was that turned up in kushner's fbi background check and in a cia review that led to him being denied a permanent security clearance until his father-in-law had to intervene. the president, the president's daughter and mr. kushner's very famous lawyer all appear to have made direct, detailed and very false public statements about this matter before now. we're seeing tonight some sort of confused and to my eye, slightly desperate efforts tonight to clean up some of those false statements, but the story is still developing ton
