to miller, is back with me now. timi don't think either of us had any indication and i am a believer that you have to share with the public what you know and what you don't know. he knew that there were lots of calls but we have not been given official indication even as of 10 minutes ago that decision had been made. i spoke with keisha lance bottoms earlier this hour and asked her if she had any indication and she is a senior adviser and she had not. what is your reaction to this news and kind of what is going to happen over the next couple of days quite >> first, i agreed with everything in in the statement there. i think this was very challenging for him. some of us have been agitating for this move and we are a little bit frustrated with the amount of time it took, just because of the stakes of this election and the desire to beat donald trump. but recognizing also, that this is tough. that it is tough for somebody in his position to say, to recognize to admit that maybe while he's up for the day to day rigors of th

former rnc spokesperson host of "the bulwark" podcast tim miller. f these times are told, what will be in there starting with your -- with your susie wiles, chris acevedo reporting and j.d. vance reporting and dispatches from the convention. so congratulations to you. let's work backward, though. take me inside this moment as we await when has been described as somewhat changed donald trump. >> well, thank you for saying that, it's very kind of you. look, i think the degree to which donald trump has changed has been transformed by this near assassination just a few days ago will really get a glimpse at it tonight. you know, i have covered scores and scores of trump's speeches around the country. i have traveled with his campaign at loefrth the last eight years -- at length over the last eight years. i've seen him in different venues, in different moods, striking different tones. i've never heard a tonight of humility, of reconciliation. i've never heard a tone of genuine reflection. and according to some people who are close to him and who have spoke

claire mccaskill and tim miller, thank you very much.e are not leaving. >> we are not going anywhere. >> we pick up our coverage of the republican national convention with speeches from ron desantis, marco rubio, former presidential candidate nikki haley, all of that coming up with rachel maddow on msnbc. don't go anywhere. >>> good evening and welcome to our special coverage of night two of the republican national convention in beautiful, downtown milwaukee, wisconsin. super glad to have you with us tonight. i am rachel maddow with my beloved, cheerful, well hydrated colleagues joy reid, jen psaki, ari melber, lawrence o'donnell. we got nicolle wallace. we will be talking shortly, i promise you. any minute now we are expecting the republican party presidential nominee, donald trump, to be entering the hall at the rnc in milwaukee. if i look shifty like i'm not making eye contact, it is because i am trying to keep an eye on the monitors to know when that happens. both secret service and local

tim miller is back with us.cision is being litigated as you know about whether or not joe biden should step away. you heard what keisha lance bottoms had to say. you can argue he had a great record. you can probably even argue that in general 90 minutes should not determine the length of a person's term of public service, but are you hearing a democratic argument clearly for why joe biden needs to stay in this race? >> a good argument why he needs to stay in this race? not really. what i'm hearing is a lot of media attacking, what mayor bottoms said there that i do agree with is that the threat of donald trump is very great on a wide variety of issues, joe biden and any democratic nominee are a much better choice, whether it's climate, immigration, rule of law, nato, our very democracy. it's crucial that we have somebody that can beat donald trump at the head of the democratic ticket, so then the question is can joe biden do it. if the answer is just that he did it before, i'm sorry, that's just not a good enoug

joining me now are tim miller, writer at large for the bulwark. and mark leibovich, staff writer at the atlantic. gentlemen, i know you have big thoughts about what's happening, but i first want to talk to you about the semiemerging strategy inside the party, which you heard it from tim kaine, you heard it from nancy pelosi, which is i will respect whatever decision the president makes, tim, even though in a very clearly worded letter to congressional democrats, the president said my decision is i'm staying in the race. is that -- first of all, what do you make of that strategy, and do you think it's going to be effective? >> look, i'm going to defer to tim kaine and the senators that served with biden over what is the most effective strategy to encourage joe biden to do the right thing. and if this is what they think is the appropriate approach, they don't want to embarrass him at a time of nato or they think private entreaties make more sense, that's possible. i'll defer to them. i met joe biden one time in a picture line, so i don't know joe bi

we have the great tim miller. can't believe he agreed to come on with me. on slack, on text, on phone, but it's a changing in dynamic situation. where is your take on where things stand right now for the biden campaign as of this morning? >> look, the biden campaign hasn't done anything to change their standing in the general election polls with donald trump. i know that there's a lot of frustration at the biden campaign and among biden supporters, that maybe the media is not doing a good enough job allowing them to pivot back to donald trump. but let's be honest, you know, president biden was on this network yesterday, and he offered a very vigorous attack on the media, a vigorous attack on pundits, but it's not offering a clear contrast to donald trump. he didn't do so on the debate. now almost two weeks ago. didn't particularly do so with george stephanopoulos. if the biden campaign wants to get all these democrats in line and get a more, you know -- get more vigorous support from democratic elected officials, i think it would help to get the president ou

miya riley, and also host of the bulwark podcast tim miller is here. dying to hear your thoughts on not just the history that president joe biden made but the history that kamala harris quickly made right alongside him in galvanizing the party behind her, exciting the grassroots with these fund-raising numbers. where do you see the race today? >> well, i just want to start with the outpouring of establishing his legacy, president biden's legacy that began the discussion. it was a recognition that this has been a deeply impactful president, leadership conference on civil and human rights. we put out a statement cataloging the amazing amount of work that has been done that is for democracy, for every single person in this country that this administration has accomplished if all of its people. even that process of recognition, of gratitude, is as much a part of the story than we fast forward to kamala harris, but i just say that because at a party that was very divided in the lead-up to this, what we've seen is a role that a powerful player who has extens

. >> training me now is tim miller, cohost of the next level podcast. great to see you.ke the under on trump staying on message. what about you? >> is it possible to go lower? i don't know, no. he's not going to be able to do it. the head of the organization needs to send out a memo and the memo says guys, don't be racist. please don't be racist, guys. it might be a sign that you are part of an organization that has some race relations issues you might want to reflect upon. if you are part of a healthy organization and a diverse and prosperous organization you don't need to send out the don't be racist men memo because people aren't. >> it probably shouldn't surprise people that the republican party is looking toward division and racism is a way to champion their own fortunes, but i am still stunned by the smallness of trump's response. he was untrue social i think it was today, saying he thinks he should get a refund for the money he spent during this campaign. now we have to start all over again. shouldn't the republican party be reimbursed for fraud and that everyone

tim miller once served as spokesman for the rnc. he is now writer at large verbal work and joins me now. what is your take away, tim? >> that guy can be beat. that was not 84 reagan, or 08 obama. or jordan. >> not 95 jordan, exactly. >> that was a long, rambling, incoherent speech. he had no clear message. he was obsessed with himself. i like how you focused on the performance of it. he looked and felt old and tired. i did notice the face coloring difference in those three speeches, that jumped out to me, as well. but if he were re-elected again, he would be older at the end of his term then joe biden is today. the age side of this is part of the message. so, this is what i saw for last night's speech. it wasn't, it did not, there was not anything there that shouldn't scare democrats if the democrats can put up a forceful campaign against him. and i think you see that in all the data, too. there is an overconfidence at the rnc. they for some reason think that, sorry to kill the sports metaphors, but they think they're winning by thre

joining me to discuss, one of the self-important podcasters, tim miller, christina greer. tim, you are the card-carrying member of the self-important podcaster bread wedding -- bedwetting brigade. do you want to respond to the campaign attack and your integrity or their spin? >> i don't know. they might've been attacking me i guess, they didn't say. i will say this. we all come from the same place to start with, which is that we passionately do not want donald trump"t 2025. a second trump term would be an absolute catastrophe, and so i think the bedwetters come from or are motivated by that goal, keeping trump out of the white house and to me, i think if you are watching this, if you are in the biden campaign, if you are a podcaster, if you are a guest anchor on msnbc and you are not bedwetting right now, i think you're deluding yourself. donald trump was winning this campaign before the debate. the reason why joe biden's team asked for an early debate in june was because they wanted to reframe the narrative, remind people about donald trump's extreme views, demonstrate th

tonight to talk about it, tim miller is the former spokesperson for the republican national committee rider at large for the bowl work and sarah long well is publisher of the bowl work. they both join me now. when we were putting production together i was like this is heading like wimp, hitting like flip-flopper. it seems like weird sticks. why is that working? why is that working not just with trump, because he has been the same guy all along, but now weird seems to be sticking to him. j.d. vance is a newcomer. weird is sticking to them. why is it working? >> because of j.d. vance. it ends up being another in a long line of reasons why donald trump should not pick j.d. vance. trump is weird in his own way. he is like this celebrity figure. he was a reality show host. he almost kind of owns being weird. he does the electrocuting sharks thing and the hannibal lecter thing and it is weird in its own way, but that did not stick with people. j.d. vance is weird in this creepy way that you want him to be away from you. he has negative charisma. he starts talking about when women should bea

number secret service agent tim miller, fox news contributor, former nypd inspector paul morrow. former fbi special agent fox news contributor, nicole parker. nicole, let me start with you tonight and ask you, i want to backtrack because as we show this image of this moment and president trump grabs his ear instinctively drops behind the podium, incredible instincts, he puts his fist in the air iconic image and look how quickly they jumped on him. he got to love these guys. they are risking their life by jumping on him knowing shots are being fired. however, the report of a fox news reporter on the ground, alexis earlier tonight pointing out this building while outside the perimeter having somebody on the roof how did that happen? that of course the bbc report, we've not independently confirmed it may be secret service, will find out in time, not rushing to judgment here. they might have been tipped off about that. that seems to be a major breach to me instinctively. your thoughts? >> one thing we have to look at his in the immediate future, the entire nation has profound questio

dean of the public school of service at the university of arkansas and a political analyst and tim millerodcast in the former communications director for jeb bush. what is your reaction to nikki haley's prediction? >> it sounds like she has been listening to my podcast and i hate to complement her but i think, look, the american people have been telling us loud and clear that they didn't want this rematch. surely there were some donald trump super fans out there who were a minority of the country and surely people were riding with biden until the end and if you look at the numbers, there were a historic amount of people who said they didn't like either candidates and there were an unprecedented number of people who weren't excited about the selection. i think making this change to vice president harris, almost certainly, the democrats have a chance to galvanize a lot of people who weren't excited and i think they will get a second look at the people who decided they would check out and maybe even some people looking to vote for donald trump. i think it is a huge boost. there is a lot of t

as tim miller said, if you have to send out a memo saying don't be racist, chances are, you might be racist. >> well, i mean, truly. it just goes to show that to nicole and joy's point, that they didn't contemplate this. and because they do -- they cannot debate the merits of it, right? the one thing they want to talk about is the border. joe biden said in his speech tonight, border crossings are at the lowest that they've been in my presidency, lower than the last president, donald trump. he didn't say his name, but that is a fact. the border is what they want to go to, and because they can't go to the border because that opens the conversation about donald trump and how he literally called house republicans and senate reps and told them -- instead of putting the country first and what the country needed. they can't talk about that, so they've resorted to racism and sexism. and i -- i think it would behoove democrats not to take the bait on it. they want to get mired down in a conversation about racism and sexism. they would like people to spend, you know, all five minutes in an int

. >> bill: tim miller, former secret service agent talking about that?t this roof was not covered, typically we'll cover it for certain visually, but if not and in some cases we'll post somebody there. so this is a big miss and there are a lot of questions that need to be answered in regards to the site advance and especially in regards to actually what they did within the split seconds that an unidentified gunman was seen on the roof. >> bill: leads us to more and more questions. we just had michael whatley on from the head of the rnc. the memo said stick to the script. we won't look backwards but present a unified front here. late last night the president ripped up its speech. many pages long and ripped it up and many changes at that convention to present this unified front. how do you move from saturday evening to later tonight and express that? >> look, it will be a quick change but that's what leadership requires. it is important now not just here at the republican national convention but members on both sides of the aisle, people in media, etc. , t

as tim miller said if you have to send out a memo saying don't be racist, chances are you might be racist. >> really goes to show that they did not contemplate this and because they cannot debate the merits of it. right? the one thing they want to talk about is the border which frankly joe biden said in his speech tonight border crossings at the lowest they've been in my presidency, lower than the last president. the border is what they want to go to them because they can't really go to the border than that opens up a conversation about donald trump and how he literally called house and senate republicans and said hey, don't do this deal. it's too good for joe biden instead of again putting the country first and what the country needed, they can talk about that so they've resorted to racism and sexism and i think it would behoove democrats not to take the debate on that. they want to get mired down in the conversation on racism and sexism and they would like people to spend all five minutes in an interview explaining what di really is and that needs to be called out. it is a distraction.

s secr >> secret servicete site commander, former secret service agent tim miller joins me now. >> why't we know who that was, tim? >> yeah, that's a great question was,great qu, jesse, because a the time for answers is now. >> but this was a cascade of failures unlike anything i've ever seen. failuand was only by god's grae that donald trump's allow. it seems that every single area of the advance that, you know,qt quite frankly, they had donee co 7500 times since january broke down. >> and i think you're exactlyr h right. we need answers for what happened, why it and whopob was responsible for it. >> so ifle locals had half anou hour before saying, hey, we see this guy with a rangefinder he, i lost them. >> tell secret service and the se evenservices we don't know if anybody told us. >> how is that possible? the secret service put thisle whole communications team togetherations t. yeah, jesse, i mean, these aren't rocket science type things here. interoperability, command and control, especially between tactical teams. the fact that there weren't direct communications between the swat

former secret agent tim miller and other experts say there had to be a roof from which a shooter couldd i'm just sure they did. they should have realized that this roof was a weak point in their security. at the same time, the fbi continues to search for evidence that could shed light on the reasons why thomas matthew crooks tried to kill donald trump. investigators gained access to the phone of this quiet twenty-year-old guy with no criminal record. past, but so far there is nothing to indicate that this registered republican had any radical political views. those who knew crooks say that he was constantly bullied at school and was constantly withdrawn. as our tv channel learned, the secret service did not clear the building from which the shooting was carried out at the former to the president, despite the fact that from there there was direct visibility of the stage where trump spoke. this building was outside the security perimeter. however, a local sniper team was... inside the building at the time of the shooting. this new footage shows people in the crowd pointing at the man on

. >> well, i mean, tim miller, this is where it's too late, right? the goose is cooked.his is who is running the rnc platform policy process, russ vogt, also one of the key author of project 2025. they're one and the same, and trump is, you know, unfortunately not playing for voters beyond his base. talk about the liability that is project 2025 and david's reporting on the sort of crackpots that frequent mar-a-lago. >> he's trying to walk away from it. i think that's pretty significant reporting. it's something we know, having it out of the horse's mouth that he says these guys will do it blueprint, i think provides more ammo to the democrats and forces trying to stop donald trump. these aren't popular policies. the other reality is we know these two things are linked. a lot of these officials around heritage foundation and other groups, they're the type of people that staff a trump administration. we know that donald trump is not a stickler for details. he won't be the one worrying about who is the deputy undersecretary that is enforcing these rules at hhs, and the depa

joining us now mark leibovich and contributor at the conservative website the bulwark tim miller. both. tim, i will start with you. what did you make of what you saw last night? we've been talking a lot about nikki haley and ron desantis who had obviously extraordinarily harsh things to say during the campaign, deeply personal things they had to say about him and now at the rally which is not unusual for people vanquished in a primary to get behind the candidate. this did feel different and there was a sense of donald trump sitting there in his box and watching people, you know, come to heel before him politically. >> it's a little unusual because the personal attacks were like racist and the nikki haley case and in ron desantis' case very personal, his manhood and these sorts of things. and then having trump sit in the box, i think it's noteworthy also who was in the box with him? it's j.d. vance, how now the vp pick, night one tucker was in there. you saw, you know, some of the most extreme members of the florida delegation in mr., matt gaetz, corey mills. >> marjorie taylor gree

ueprint stephen miller and scott brown, thank you so much for joining us. you mup next, senator tim scotn joins us to discuss trump's veepstakes. plus, our identity politics preventing the dems from pushing biden out. we'll ask the senator what he thinks coming up next. >> anybody who owns property should worry about home title theft. there's no other crime that is so easy, so quick and so lucrative. your home, your equity and your peace of mind can all be stolen in one fell swoop by home. title like matthew cox. nobody thinks that i can take their house. nobody thinks that. believe it or not, a single page document is it takes to transfer proof of ownership out of your name. people think there's a whole huge process, but the truth is, it's a one page document, but it still must get through one final barrier. the county clerk, when someone comes in with fraudulent deed, if it's notarized and all the spaces are filled in, we by statute have to accept it. we cannot give it back to them and say, we know this is fraudulent. we're not going to file it. that's against the law. it's public
