vance, which was just outrageous. it's kind of like saying, okay, j.d. vance is pro-life.-life. therefore j.d. vance must be a weitzer premises. it's ridiculous as saying that we found a suicide bomber who likes peanut butter. there were some democratic candidates for president who like peanut butter, therefore they are all suicide bombers. that's an outrageous lie and it's just as outrageous to say something about j.d. vance and try to attach this to white supremacy. it really was absurd and i will tell you, the thing that makes this most ironic, most of the abortions that happen in this country overwhelmingly and disproportionately happen to african-american babies. they are the ones were being killed at a much greater level, a disproportionate level, than white babies. >> martha: i want to get your thoughts and of the story because this week we scuppered the survey that came out of "the wall street journal" but show that there was a decline in young people in patriotism and religion and their desire to have children. here's a sound bite to some of them, let's listen to

attorney joyce vance who spent 25 years as a federal prosecutor and philip mudd for both cia counter terrorist center and the fbi's national security branch. he also happens to be the author of the new book that we'll be talking about later in this hour. it is called "black site: the cia in the post-9/11 world." good evening and welcome to all of you. mr. rucker, i'd like to start with you. you don't really believe that was kind of a toss off answer by the president to a subject that defines who we are and what we've become now, so much so that on the legal realm on just social media last night in the public domain the bots went to work with messaging trying to foment racial division just in the hours after the democratic debate. >> yeah, brian, this is not some sort of partisan point of view. this is fact according to our intelligence agencies, according to all of our intelligence agencies. it's not just special counsel -- former special counsel robert mueller who testified to it, but the president's own hand-picked intelligence chiefs, including dan coats, the former -- or soon to

joining us joyce vance in the flesh. joyce, take us through the argument you made in your piece and have you heard anything from the justice department in response? >> you know, i have not heard anything, nicolle and i don't think this attorney general will recuse. but one of your most important jobs if you're the attorney general of the united states is protect the integrity of the justice department. if republicans don't believe justice is being done by the department, then the entire system starts to ee rote. prosecutors depend on juries, juries and judges have to be able to trust prosecutors. when you have such a high-profile investigation, being led by someone who is arguably not objective about the matter, it really taints people's view of doj and barr should step away out of a sense of respect and love for the institution that he leads. >> so eli, i'm not going to play it again, but here's what barr said on monday. he said, i was appalled and indeed the whole department was and frankly angry in learning the meant

joining me now an msnbc political analyst and joyce vance is back with us.as extensive experience prosecuting possession of illegal firearms and destructive devices cases. this complaint as i read it is detailed and remarkably disturbing. not just in what he -- he's allege today have planned but in his degree of comfort in talking about it freely to the fbi, and as we saw in news reports. >> well, i think we've reached a point in this particular moment in history where it's all out in the open and there's no shame attached with having these kinds of feelings, expressing them out loud, going onto these forums, sort of finding your tribe so to speak and going back and forth with ideas and slurs. i think what's most disturbing not just that he's a security guard by day, that's alarming. there needs to probably be a better vetting process for that employer. but that he had bomb making materials. which is separate and apart from the conversation we've been having all week about access to assault style rifles. when you're talking about the fbi being able to find t

joining me now is former federal prosecutor joyce vance and former u.s.assador to russia michael mcfaul. is no bedbugs, joyce, the best pitch for a world summit, you think? >> this is such a theater of the absurd, it's so hard to imagine that we're at a point where the president is using his official role as the leader of our country to hawk his failing resort and force foreign leaders to pay for it but, you know, joking aside, this violates the emoluments clause, it's not a close call, it shouldn't be toll separated. the fact that we're here, i think, tells us how over time we've accepted these small degradations of norms from trump to the point where something so outrageous can be taking place. >> yeah, and joke ago side, you do raise up a really interesting point about the emoluments clause but does this doral controversy really reveal he was never serious about separating his business from the office of the presidency? >> he has shown absolutely no inclination to create separation. it's unprecedented for a president not to put his asset producing inco

joyce vance is also an msnbc legal analyst. she joins us now. joyce, what's the basis on which you are calling for william barr to recuse himself? >> so i should be clear, ali that i don't make the argument because i believe that barr is actually going to recuse. i think the sad reality here is that he won't, but the reason he should recuse is because he has both conflicts of interest, conflicts that he has apparently decided don't warrant recusal, but also those conflicts give rise to an appearance of impropriety. that means that people in the public can't have confidence that he's a neutral decision-maker. and when you have someone like that in a position of control over an important investigation like the one into epstein's death and the ongoing criminal cases, it causes the public to lose confidence in the justice department. doj's already stretched too thin. we can't afford to have any more loss in its remgs and integrity. >> what's the conflict that you see that he's got? >> you know, he has a number of conflicts starting with the fact tha

you know, there are probably multiple reasons: one, is this office, cy vance's office has been knownhe trump family. his daughter and his son were once in the clutches of that office and got a pass. so, that might be one reason they are looking. but, the crime that, best on the reporting i have seen so far, it's only a misdemeanor, don, they have to show that they misaccounted for, and covered up another crime. it's not clear under the new york law if the federal crime would count as that crime. so, there's some gray areas here. and i think, it's early, but it's obviously an investigation that is not dead and ongoing. >> so, michael, the attorney for the trump organization said it a political hit job, it's just harassment of the president, his family and his business using subpoenas and leaks as weapons. we will respond as appropriate. how will the trump team fight this, you think? >> well, you just saw one example. they are going to trash the district attorney. but what's ironic about all of this, the trump family lawyers in the case in 2012, it was marc kasowitz talked about how wo

joyce vance, i wanted to show you the video and get your thoughts. what are you watching? >> well, there's always a lot of chaos early on, richard. it's important for us to remember that these reports come in and the early reports may be incorrect, but while the shooting is still going on, the most important aspect of this is public safety. people need to listen to law enforcement. they need to stay in their homes. they need to stay out of harm's way and they need to make it possible for law enforcement to in this case get to multiple situations as quickly as possible to control the scene. as frank pointed out, this is a little bit unusual of a shooting because there are reports of a postal -- we don't know if it was a postal officer that was hijacked or postal vehicle but there are those reports. that might actually mean down the road we'll be looking at some kind of a federal prosecution, but no one's thinking about that right now. right now am we are working to get the count of a number of shooters. working to make sure that those shooters can safely be put into custody
