journal"'s editorial board echoed that criticism and said trump was smearing scarborough, and debasing his office and hurting the countryn doing so. now, jake, the president is still here at the kennedy space center. it was going to be a family affair with the first lady here, most of his children if not all of them were also here and he was going to give a speech right here behind me if that launch had gone forward. now we're waiting to see if he's going to make any remarks at all before returning to washington tonight. >> all right, kaitlan collins, thanks so much. >>> minutes ago president trump weighed in on the death of an african-american man who pleaded he could not breathe while pinned to the ground by a minnesota police officer. stay with us. you doing okay? yeah. this moving thing never gets any easier. well, xfinity makes moving super easy. i can transfer my internet and tv service in about a minute. wow, that is easy. almost as easy as having those guys help you move. we are those guys. that's you? the truck adds 10 pounds. in the arms. -okay... transfer your service online in a few easy steps. now that's si

have to be dragged through this again, scarborough was effectively saying the president was a tray tore for the -- traitor for the last few years for the countrye's a deep hatred between these men. i think the president is trying to goad scarborough. if you're asking did this one -- was this one that a lot of people that really support this president wish he could take back, i think the answer is yes. howie: okay. leslie, the new york times noted that fox didn't cover the story in prime time but didn't point to my coverage on this program. my question is the media so innerred to insults, that this isn't that big of a story? >> perhaps for some of his supporters. but i've been a guest on some conservative talk show host's program and they said this was going too far. there's a couple things here. when you are a leader and he's personally president -- especially president, you're going to be attacked. you're going to be attacked by the media and the political party you weren't the choice of. to personally attack an individual and it has ramifications for that family, to dredge that up and when the family says stop, you've got to stop and what bo

country. with that, i open it up to questions. >> [inaudible] >> [inaudible] i wasn't around when scarborough was here. i answered yesterday. i don't think there is anything further to discuss. what are your thoughts on the presidents executive order on social media giants when it comes to liability issues when it comes to going after certain tweets that people make? agrees is one place, i the president should be looking into this. i have not seen the new majority take any opportunity to bring this in. we brought a number of ceos in. i agree with what mark zuckerberg said. social media should not be the arbiter of truth of what everybody says online. it's interesting with twitter. if you are going to hire somebody to be the arbiter, you have to look at what they have tweeted. should the arbiter be an individual that believes any states in the midwest that he refers to as fire for states are racist? we believe those who work for the president should be similar, similar to nazis who worked for hitler's? i would find that a hard truth. mediaatched what social has been able to do. from a a concern monopoly perspective on some.

country. and with regard to his vile smears against our colleague, joe scarborough, the pain he's inflicting on that young woman's family, his continual lying, smearing, the viciousness of it all, they don't have an obligation to print that. it's in violation of their policies. they ought to follow their policies. it's just as simple as that. i will say this. it is a profound threat to democracy in this sense, that if you look at the great threats to the country's security in the 20th century, fascism and communism, both of those ideologies were premised on big lies. our system relies on inalienable truths. there's a profound danger posed to democratic institutions by these companies whether they're by sins of omission or sins of commission because they obliterate the line between reality and truth -- excuse me -- between truth and lies, between reality and an alternate reality. and it's simply the case that a democracy can't function if you can't tell the difference between lies and truth because there can't be any accountability in the system. democracies rely on an informed citizenry, and th

scarborough, is somehow a murderer. it is a level of behavior that is prompting some of the country's more conservative editorial pages to question the president's fitness for office. it's been mostly silence from elected republican leaders. the crisis of this pandemic, the scrutiny it has generated, not to mention declining poll numbers nationally in the battleground states seemingly brought out the president's most fujle list tick impulses. we don't know for sure what comes next or how high this death toll ultimately will go. joining me now is my msnbc colleague hans nichols. hans, again, you had the president on one hand, i get it, on the launch. this is perhaps an exciting moment for the country. we can question whether this is the right time to try something like this. that's a separate discussion. cheerleading on that is one thing. but it is sort of a jarring picture, today is the day we leap over the 100,000 mark. the president really hasn't done anything to mark the occasion in any form. he really does seem to resist playing mourner in chief, i guess. >> it's always a difficult role for any president. you heard t

country. with that, i open it up to questions. yes, sir. reporter: question about speaker pelosi. is it appropriate for a .resident to accuse a tv host mr. mccarthy: i wasn't around when scarborough was here. i don't think there is anything further to discuss. reporter: what are your thoughts on the president upcoming executive order on the social media giants when it comes to this liability issue, when it comes to going after certain tweets that people make? mr. mccarthy: well, i actually agree that the president should be looking into it. i haven't seen the new majority to bring them in. e brought a number of c.e.o. oomplet and shouldn't be the arbiter of what people say online. interesting me with twitter, if you hire somebody to be the arbiter, should it be an individual that believes any state in the midwest that he admits to flyover state as a racist or believe those who work for the president should be similar to call them similar to nazis who worked for hitler. i would find that a hard truth to see they are the arbiters. i have watched wall social media has been able to do. some but is a concern correct.erberg said is reporter: the speaker this morning criticized you and

scarborough, or jeff sessions. it gives you a pretty clear contrast where his head is at compared to a lot of other people in this country this morning. >> eddie gloud, it is interesting that donald trump i don't know whether it's a switch to grievance, as eli says, or a switch to something else that works for him. fights tend to work for him better. he's thinking about the election. he's got banners flying on beaches saying, you know, "make america great." he's thinking about a campaign, and it would be better for him if coronavirus is behind us, or at least that's how he needs to see it, but we're not close to done with this. a lot of the emergency economic programs are coming to an end. there are businesses that continue to fail, and there are people who will continue to get this infection and die. what's the right thing to do right now as opposed to what president trump is doing? >> we have to address what covid-19 is doing. at the end of the day, ali, there are 100,000, close to 100,000 people dead, and these are family members. these are people we love. and folk are grieving and mourning, and a sense of regret i've

scarborough smearing. we don't write this in any expectation that he will stop. perhaps he even imagines this helps him politically, but he's debasing his office and hurting the countryg so. those are strong words. they are true words. but you know, a lot of republicans complain privately about this, david, but where are they? very few are willing to come publicly and say, mr. president, stop. >> i think for the first time we are seeing some. people are willing to break with him, and it's not just politically. dr. fauci coming out on the masks, sending a very clear signal that he was going to wear a mask. he was a role model for people. he understood that, for americans. but that the president is expected to be a role model too. when he denigrates biden, when he mocks biden for wearing a mask and refuses to wear one himself, he dodges every cameraman he can so we don't have pictures of him in a mask, because he thinks it will hurt his re-election chances. and i just think we have lost our way here. i do think more republicans are splitting like governor dewine of ohio, for example, has been very responsible. governor of north dakota spoke up. here and there, we're st

. >> and let me ask you, doctor -- joe scarborough here -- you talked about hospitals filling up across the countryew york times" talked about montgomery hospitals, icu units starting to fill up and that happening in other areas, other areas in middle america. talk about your concern there. is that a slow burn or do you fear that's something that could become more serious in cities like montgomery, alabama, or is this just something that we're going to see actually over the next year and a half or until a vaccine is created? >> yeah, i think this is going to be life as usual. i think what we're going to see is isolated outbreaks and maybe, you know, epidemic spread in certain regions or certain cities. we will have to pulse resources into those cities, those states that are having spread. hopefully we don't have a national epidemic, but we're going to have isolated outbreaks and you will see local hospital systems get pressed. the states seem to have a plan for that, how they take pressure off local hospitals. it may not be big cities with the outbreaks, but could be small communities with at-risk

scarborough and media and stock market and twitter, itself. we are following two huge stories and we start with the nationwide protests. we have correspondents all across the country. we start with shaq. what do you got. >> reporter: good morning, chuck. for the first time in four days, minneapolis residents are waking up to scenes absent of burning buildings and overnight widespread destruction and historic activation of the national guard insisting that local and state police have to regain control of the city. by the thousands yesterday, protesters came out yesterday to demonstrate and clean up from the mess from the day before and trying to remain peaceful in the name of george floyd, a man we learned this week was considered a man of peace and kindness by his friends and family. after protesters violated an 8:00 p.m. curfew, officers fired tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowd to clear the streets. protesters say they will continue to come out and demonstrate until justice is served. justice for them is the rest of the three remaining fired minneapolis police department officers involved in the death of george floyd. chuck? >> shaquille brewster getting

of small businesses around the country are reopening today after the changes announced by the government earlier this week. with me is dan marshall, manager of scarboroughm pinsent masons. welcome, both of you. dan, first of all, how will things be from today? are you fully reopened? yes, we reopen today at 10am. we are expecting it to be slow but steady. we do not want big groups coming at once so we are we do not want big groups coming at once so we are staggering it out. we are not expecting huge crowds as we would be at this time in other yea rs. would be at this time in other years. how many people have showed up years. how many people have showed up so far? it is still early. it is very early. we have only had one group turned up so far but more are booking info later in the week. do you feel like you have to police these groups? obviously, it is supposed to be groups who are living together, what if you feel there is a group of people who are not living in the same house? we can only do our best. we are telling people no more than four people to a group and we have mentioned it can only be families or one other person with another person meeting.
