john, let's start with you and i want to talk about cory stewart. were both co-chairs of the trump campaign in virginia. he aspired and you became chair. is he a bigot? >> well, i wouldn't say he's a bigot, but i would say cory stewart has spent a lot of time and hanging around the wrong people and it's really tarnished him and the party. he survived this primary because two anti-cory art opponents split the vote to get under 50%. and he was able to win because the name i.d.s had three times running for state office and republicans in virginia couldn't find a better viable candidate enough to beat him. >> john, if he is supporting the confederate flag andging out with the wrong people, doesn't that kind of make him a bigot? that kind of makes him a bigot. there is evidence there that makes him aot. bigots don't do that. >> i'm not going to speak what's in his heart. >> i hate it when people say that, john. i don't know what's in anybody's heart. all i know is the evidence people show me, what they say, whaty do. i don't know what's in my own mother

martha stewart, prosecutor james comey. rod blagojevich sentenced to prison. is this settling scores? >> i think it's more. look, i'm not a huge believer in coincidence, certainly not in politics. my belief is the prime motivator here is -- president trump was asked about dinesh d'souza. he said i never met him. i heard him on the radio and saw him on television. that's part of this too. martha stewart was on the apprentice. rod blagojevich was on the a apprentice. scooter libby. joe arripaio is sticking it to e elite. donald trump does so many things in opposition to what he doesn't like. so much of his presidency to date has been what did barack obama do? we're doing the opposite. doesn't matter what that is. it's relationship driven and it's score settling. don't underestimate what a big deal this is. it's a huge deal to pardon people. remember mark rich in the bill clinton days. this is a big deal. kirsten is right. we should not overlook it. >> just do it and don't say you're not doing it for that reason. stick around. so much more coming. so much for ros

i'm back now with charles blow, alice stewart and tim wise. be giving a full pardon to dinesh d'souza today. he was treated very unfairly by our government. by the way, d'souza plead guilty to violating federal campaign finance law in 2014. he was indicted on charges that he illegally used straw donors to contribute to republican senate candidate wendy long in new york in 2012. but i just want to read some of what he said about president obama. he tweeted you can take the boy out of the ghetto. watch this vulgar man show his stuff while america cowers in embarrassment. he tweeted i am thankful this week when i remember that america is big enough and great enough to survive grown-up trayvon in the white house. and in his book he said in summary, the american slave was treated like property which is to say pretty well. so he's got a history of saying vile things about the president, saying vile things about other people who are in power. what message does this send, other people of color who are in power. what message does this send? >> well, i

stewart's case was prosecuted by former u.s. attorney and fired fbi director james comey, whose close friend patrick fitzgerald prosecuted blagojevich. and the valerie plame case resulted in pardoned scooter libby. blagojevich's wife drawing conclusions between the russia investigation and her husband. >> it is just a much larger scale. they were emboldened. they took down a governor. now they have their sights much higher. >> reporter: critics arguing the high-profile pardons could be a signal to the president's allies under federal investigation, like his personal attorney michael cohen and former campaign chairman paul manafort who has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges. the ranking democrat mark warner tweeting the possibility that he may also be sending a message to witnesses in a criminal investigation into his campaign is extremely dangerous. the white house denying the pardon is any kind of signal. >> each of the president's actions on pardons or on other things should be judged looking at the facts and the circumsta

martha stewart went to jail for 5 1/2 months.ople have gotten off scot-free. you know, they suffered a hefty penalty for this. of all these people that he is considering pardoning, martha stewart probably makes the most sense from the standpoint of what eric holder was talking about, contrition and recognition of wrongdoing, having served her time, et cetera. the other ones i'm not as sure. and eric and i, i think, are making the same point. you go through the pardon attorney and get their recommendation and let it go. that said, of course, eric, i think, was in the department of justice when bill clinton pardoned mark rich. >> we all remember that. >> i think eric was there at that time. and so these things happen. presidents exercise their constitutional prerogatives and pardon who they want to pardon. >> they do not have to go through doj. >> they do not. >> thank you so much, michael zeldin. ahead, enjoy reid apologizing again, a photoshopped image depicting senator john mccain as the virginia tech shooter. we'll be back. it'

d'souza, martha stewart and maybe blago.ake of the president using the pardoning power? >> there are two things. one, i think it sort of is -- he's basically sending a message. politically i think when you look at the people that he has pardoned, joe arpaio as well you have to add to the list. >> i should correct myself, blago is in consideration. what a lineup. >> d'souza who pled guilty to illegal campaign violations. i think what he's doing is sending a message to those who are currently under the scope of mueller to say hey, listen if you have my back, i'll have your back. because i mean this is foreshadowing, right, and if you look at blagovich for example, he also was convicted of pay for play. if you also look at the d'souza pardon as well as joe arpaio, both are on record for saying dangerous things. what's the most dangerous about these pardons is it sends the message what these men have done is okay. arpaio was told not to discriminate against immigrants in arizona. he did it anyway. d'souza called president obama

look, donald trump tweeted his support this morning for corey stewart, and i'm sure corey stewart will wear thatith pride throughout the whole campaign and that's different than what we saw ed gillespie which corey stewart fell short to as republican governor. ed gillespie chose a different path and that didn't work out so well for him in the governor's race last year and so corey start will try and prove that the donald trump path to the presidency that you can keep your rhetoric as red meat for your base through the primary season as you can for the general election season and be successful. that's a tall order in virginia this year, and i would have liked for it to be a democratic year and that's the test that dory stewart is going to employ. >> i don't see corey stewart -- >> exactly. >> the same rhetoric and his appeal all of the way through november. >> great to see you. thanks, guys. appreciate it. coming up for us, the biggest enemy of the united states is notsia. it's not north korea. instead, it's the media. that'sresident trump. that's not president trump the day after the i

attorney who prosecuted stewart, and fitzgerald who prosecuted blagojevich is a comey friend. and he also investigated the valerie plame leak, and convicted scooter libby for lying to the fbi. as you remember, trump pardon libby last month. but there's other connections to contemplate as well. dinesh desouza was pardoned. there are still other connections to contemplate, and this one starts with reality and ends with show. both the former governor and the lifestyle guru appeared on the former reality show "the apprentice" which stewart once plugged on her program. >> so donald, how is your you apprentice? >> i think it's going to be great. it's on thursday night. and i think it's the best we have done so far. >> there are other common taalis in the pardons, each the president said was treated unbelievably unfairly which is the kind of language he uses to describe his own treatment by the mueller probe. jeffrey toobin, and jeff, we'll get to the celebrity apresen"ce apprentice"pardoned edition in a moment. but do you see similarithese as to paul manafort and others to hang toug

what we can expect from corey stewart and his re against tim cain. >>> a raccoon becomes an internet sensation after ial a 23-story building to get away from trappers. whatne hap once it reached the very, very top? aruna miller: the teacher who made me feel like i belonged in america when i didn't speak english. the minimum wage jobs that helped me get through college and become a transportation engineer. and my daughters who make me proud every day. i'm aruna miller, and i have a lot of reasons to give back. it's why in the legislature, i helped write dozens of laws to protect every maryland family. i'm running for congress and i approved this message because right now, protecting maryland families means stopping donald trump. . >>> a chance of thunderstorms in the area to ight. do back in just a few minutes with more on what we are going to be seeing and when we are going to see it. >>> i'm george wallace at the live desk. tragic news out of college park. aaryland football family is mourning theoss of sophomore lineman jordan mcnair. he was air lifted to a trauma center where he re

james comey convicted martha stewart because she had lied. dinesh d 'souza was convicted, he apologized and said he deeply regretted what he had done. so for him to go out there and wipe it all away, i think it's a perversion of justice. >> your thoughts? >> i agree it's a perversion of justice and i think that president trump is blatantly skirting justice and the criminal justice system to pardon people who were convicted of crimes, pled guilty of crimes that he potentially could be charged with in the future or people in his orbit could be charged with in the future. we're talking about campaign finance violations, we talking about false statements to the fbi and we're also talking about the crime of insider trading which now is something people are talking about because of his tweet yesterday, before the jobs numbers came out. so what information is donald trump telling his cronies on the phone when he's having his executive time in the white house? and i think that this is a really precarious moment for country. our justice system needs t

. >> maya, he talked about the possibility today of pardoning martha stewart. it seems like he's trying to in a certain extent, turn this into a reality show, the pardon power. >> i think you're right. i think it's also that martha stewart was prosecuted by james comey in the southern district of new york where michael cohen that is i am ready and willing to use this power to my benefit. "the washington post" has a quote from roger stone, one of the targets of the investigation who makes it clear to the post that he got that message loud and clear that the president is willing to use his pardon power in these cases and potentially the russia investigation. >> maya, he talked about the possibility today of pardoning martha stewart. it seems like he's trying to in a certain extent, turn this into a reality show, the pardon power. >> i think you're right. i think it's also that martha stewart was prosecuted by james comey in the southern district of new york where michael cohen is now under investigation. so i think there's a clear wink, wink, nod, nod, as well as

he squeaked by against corey stewart because corey stewart said i am a trump guy. he lost.ess what.berly: you said president trump fanning racial flames of injustice. quite the contrary. if you look at unemployment numbers, job satisfaction with blacks, hispanics and women, they are at a record low in terms of them being able to be satisfied with the party, with the president, and having jobs. >> juan: the facts are, you look at not only blacks but latinos. highly critical of president trump. mark sanford, a real conservative republican from south carolina. >> dana: they are pushing me. we have other stuff. >> greg: why is sanford where he is? you can't be riding in on a high horse on this one. go hiking. >> dana: that would mean other people would've answered to their past things. republican lawmakers and doj having a fht over allegations intimidn. we will exain next. the best simple dishes ever? great tasting, heart-healthy california walnuts. so simple, so good. get the recipes at walnuts.org. ♪ >> jesse: high drama on capitol hill, tomorrow's release of the justice department's

he also knows martha stewart personally. dinesh is the odd one out there and that's much more a play for his base and his supporters. let's be honest, i think roger stone said it to the "washington post," these are pardons that send a message to people who either have pleaded guilty in the special counsel's investigation into possible russia collusion between the trump campaign or russian officials or who could plead guilty in other cases and plead to a lesser offenwccasion -- >> i actually have that. "it has to be a signal to mike flynn and paul manafort. the special counsel has awesome powers, as you know, but the president has even more awesome powers. >> that awesome powers that roger is referring to is something that my colleagues and i referred to when the main lawyer john dowd had conversations with lawyers for paul manafort and i believe it was flynn as well about leaning into a pardon. this is before the flynn guilty plea, i believe. i think when you put all of that together, it's pretty clear what's going on. this

rory stewart is once again quite think these things. an idiotic suggestion says philip davies, and that is a giveaway. the man who talked out of domestic bill, and tried to talk out of making it free to park in hospitals is somewhat of a maverick, and that is the polite word in parliament, i think, you would know better than me. maverick in quotation marks, but in trying to address this overcrowding and the poor conditions inside prisons, it is to be welcomed. and uber on the front of the ft. it has its london licence back despite the grumblings of the net. that's right, so sadiq khan and tfl have called it a chaotic company. they have gone to court and been given a 15 month licence. they say they have grown up, the judge has accepted that. they say they will carry out audits, do voluntary first case reporting of serious offences and background checks. but i don't think you will have to go far to find i don't think you will have to go farto find a i don't think you will have to go far to find a black cabdriver who thinks things haven't

cory stewart, he's the winner. this is what the republican establishment suspected might happen and feared would happen. cory stewart, one of his big issues is the confederate mon youme monuments. he will go up again tim kaine. the problem for republicans, stewart esn't make beating tim kaine that much tougher, virginia has three house seats reprby republicans that could wave here go, that could go to democrats. having cory stewart with those associations. that baggage and that kind of political headache at the top o the ticket is going to put all three of those republicans in very difficult positions that could drag the entire ticket. republicans nationally, noto much doing the senate race they're doing this morning. that's that magic number of 23 house seats. they've got to keep the democrats from getting that number. and the democrat test in virginia may have gotten after last night. >> we'll see. mark sanford losing, he lost the primary, but did he maintenance his pride? he wasn't surprised, he said months ago,
