thank you very much. >> i'm steve lawrence. i'm a resident, and i followed the p.u.c. for about -- more than 15 years now, including this project. my background is i was a lawyer for sewer treatment plants, south bay side, watsonville, marin, so i have some knowledge of these plants. this project, the digester project concerns me greatly. the last time the wsip project had a huge project, it overran but more than doubling. just this morning, i decided i'd look at what happened if this project were to do exactly the same thing that the calaveras dam project did in overrunning, and i decided since nobody really pays much attention to these dollars, what i'd try to do is bring it to an individual basis as best i could. for each of you who have an account with the p.u.c., i figured if it overran, it would be 47 benjamins. so think of it in terms of, you know, you look at the ground, and you don't pick up nickels and dimes anymore, but benjamins, you'd be picking those up. 47 of those if this job does what calaveras dam did. so i'm here trying to ask you to pay close attent

steve: lawrence, let me ask you this.re families all across america about to send their kids to college. what should they be prepared for? >> they should be prepared for indoctrination and be prepared for push back. i always tell parents to go on campus reform and find out all the stories. these are the same professors. if you type the professor in on our website, you will see what you are going to experience when you get there so parents should be prepared for their kids to come out -- i'm not saying coddle them but they should stand up since they are making the paycheck to these universities. steve: you make it sound like, lawrence, for parents be prepared for your child to be indoctrinated you are suggesting folks, next time you see your kid they will be saying stuff they never heard before. >> worse fear for parents is when they come back home they will be like bernie sanders supporters. the probability of that happening is highly likely. if you are a conservative you are more likely to be silent in the classroom and

steve: what? what? msnbc host lawrenceck under threat of a lawsuit. >> last night on this show i discussed information that wasn't ready for reported. i repeated statement as single source told me about the president's finances and loan documents. i should not have said it on air or posted it on twitter. i was wrong to do so. we are retracting the story. katie: okay. so joining us to react is nationally syndicated radio show host dana loesch. what is your response to lawrence o'donnell, not saying it was not true but saying he was going to retract it. >> good morning, katie and gentlemen. there is a little nuance, keep trying to justify the fact he ever mentioned it in the first place, saying we don't know if it is inaccurate, we don't know if we have all the information. clearly you don't, you had one single source that didn't even see the documents in question and, but it was good enough for their confirmation bias. so lawrence o'donnell in his editors, they decided to run with this story. it is reckless. this is the kin

hour on this network, "the last word with lawrence o'donnell." stevecki is over at the big board. and in detroit at the spin room chris matthews, the host of "hardball." chris, i'd like to start with you because home field has its advantages. as a national democrat said to me after watching all this, "i hope they know what they're doing." >> well, last night reminded me of butch cassidy and the sundance kid with elizabeth warren and bernie sanders as the two main characters fighting off the bolivian army. tonight it was more like gulliver's travels. i mean, there was vice president biden tied down after rope after rope for his long political career. he had to defend every element of it going back, as michael bennet said, 50 years on issues like busing. it was very hard for him to play defense. but he had a couple of allies tonight. i was surprised. on the issue of obamacare for all he was joined on that on his side against it by michael bennet and by tulsi gabbard, who were very strong in his defense. and on the issue of decriminalizing border crossing

colleague, steve king, he's been pushing white supremacist ideology and horrible, hateful, mean-spirited, racist statements for a very long time. and so i'm not surprised about this, lawrencewhat i really hope is that the people of iowa in his district think about whether they want someone like that representing them in congress. i think they could do so much better. >> the republicans in congress have been embarrassed by him before, but there's been very little reaction so far from this, what is surely the single craziest thing he's ever said. >> yes. it sounds, you know, it's -- it is -- it's mind-boggling, quite frankly. you know, it's -- it's -- with the leader of their republican party who is our president, he has normalized so much racist and bigoted, you know, behavior and language since he's -- since long before he was in office. and, i mean, it's -- it seems like it's sort of par for the course, so, perhaps, you know, whatever the turning point is, maybe this is it, who knows, but it's unacceptable. it's not befitting a member of congress. we should have some values and morals, you know, he's a leader, for heaven's sake. so, yes, he deserves to be called out on ev

lawrence from the white house with latest on both. reporter: neil, the phone call from the commerce ministry, vice premier liu he and trade representative robert lighthizer and treasury secretary steve mnuchin happened a few years ago. the u.s. trade representative says they will go forward with tariffs on number of items, 122 pages worth of items on september 1st. that phone call happened this morning. after the phone call, u.s. trade representative robert lighthizer says other items, some 21 pages worth of items will be delayed until september 15th. some items are delayed, you mentioned those, cell phones, laptops, videogame consoles, clothing and shoes. what will go under tariff on september 1st, a lot of agriculture, meat, milk, livestock, sour cream. steel products like washers, pipe, art, including painting, sculptures. on the call between the two delegations the chinese made stern representations they did not like the tariffs. they wanted tariffs delayed or removed. two of the trade teams, the two trade teams agreed to talk in another two weeks. the chinese are expecting to come to the united states and the u.s. is expecting the chinese to come to the united states at some po

steve scalise and almost wiped out the republican congressional leadership. targeting has become a cancer on civil society. it is wrong. it is wrong and dangerous. get right into it with lawrencece jones. lawrence summers is the former treasury secretary. >> i don't want to dabble with that. stuart: okay. you are the editor-in-chief of campus reform.com. what do you make? i say this targeting, whether it is in the tweet about trump donors or about people supporting trump with a fund-raiser, i think flat the out wrong and dangerous, what do you say? >> i don't like it and i think there is a culture of trying to shame people with different political views. stuart: yes. >> take the university of texas in austin. they are targeting young conservatives right now that are incoming freshmen, coming in, they're doxxing them, to put personal information online. the attorney general of texas is now been asked to get involved with this. there is a culture from the college campuses, all the way to mainstream progressives that if you share opposing view, not only are you a white nationalist, or a racist, but you should be shamed and condemned. i think that is really dangerous for the count
