the incidentt where a gun was wrestled away from a man at a waffle house, and the next day the president was at an nra meeting, he did not mention that man is a hero. and if you look at the kentucky shooting, where the man was trying to shoot up a church, he could not get into the church. went and shot two people in cold blood going into a kroger's. when he was caught by a good guy oh, and thehe said coast guard guy who had all of those arms up to attack obama supporters and hillary supporters, he was a white nationalist. in the president said the other day that he was a nationalist. he didn't use the word white but he didn't have to. it seems to me that the president -- there seems to be a war against black people, not just here, look at yemen. look how they shoot palestinians when they open up the and the sea inns -- in -- the embassy in jerusalem. this happened during the opening of an embassy. it seems to me that there's a war. against alla war people of color. host: your reaction? i'm glad that he lifted up other hate incidents that happened that have involved victims of color. and

have been incidences of, for instance, the incident where the gentleman saved the people in the waffle houseongratulate him or give him any sort of acknowledgement, not that he needed it, but not once. but if — we have incidents like the one in dc with the kid who was wearing the make america great again hat, all of a sudden the president spoke out in defence of him. we have a president who only wants to represent people who think like him and who look like him. you have been described, i don't know whether you like this or not, but you have been described as the african—american voice of your generation. it seems that puts quite a burden, quite a pressure upon you. do you feel comfortable with that thought? i don't. and why i say that, i'd rather be seen as a microphone for this generation, than the voice for them. i want to give them the ability to speak up and speak out for themselves. to give them the confidence to do that. to celebrate them in a way that they feel as though they can and they should. when you get reaction, particularly from young black readers, how satisfying is it when

the fact that you actually believe that those voters out there who go to waffle house, listen to leonard skynyrd, like to watch nascar and basketball, that those voters don't care mostly about whether they get to see donald trump's taxes, you know the issue they sit around the kitchen table and talk about is trying to make sure that we don't have any cars or airplanes in ten years, not just for the people who get to d them but the people who make them. those folks sit around their kitchen table hoping we have open borders so that anybody can come into the country and live right next door to nancy pelosi. again, how cynical is that you think that you are not as concerned about cow flatulence as are those families that sit down at the kitchen table to eat a rib eye. i mean, laura, i'm disappointed. i thought you understood the voters better. >> laura: [laughs] dee -- a little sarcasm from the governor. dee, the split jeans and msnbc said earlier today. it seems to indicate to me at least of the democrats are starting to really eat their own. what obama warned about with the white versus mo

waffle fries, because that's my favorite. speaker nancy pelosi heads back to the white house for the first time since that heated meeting whichheadlines around world. we are live on capitol hill with what to expect today. plus - more than two years later - the trial gets underway for the two men ch >>> live on capitol hill with with what to expect today. >>> more than two years later, the trial gets under way for the two men charged in the "ghost ship" fire in oakland. both sides will lay out opening statements this morning. a preview in a live report. >> a popular bay area cafe closing its doors, but it is not because of declining sales. the reason the owner said he just can't operate any more. "today in the bay" continues right now. >>> a very good tuesday morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. mike will have a look at the commute in just a bit. the weather is nice and cool. >> yeah. it was beautiful yesterday. really enjoyed getting outside. the allergies, that's another herb. take a look at these temperatures. we're going to be back up to about where we should be for thi

house. who ill the president is waffleing over border crossings, closings i should say on healthcare, democrats are setting the stage for a showdown over the mueller report. democratic congresswoman madeleine dean is with us from capitol hill. thanks for being with us. >> reporter: my pleasure. >> so your committee led by chairman nadler voted today to authorize subpoenas for the full unredacted mueller report among other things. so now it's an option, right? it's on the table, it can be used. why did you and your fellow democrats think it was important to do that now instead of waiting until the middle of the month, if not sooner, which is when the attorney general said he'll be releasing this report redacted with help from robert mueller? >> reporter: well, we have anna, thanks, for having me on. i have to mention to you, i've just come from a joint session where the general secretary of nato spoke to us about the important history of our partnership in nato. and he talked about foreign foes. we live in a dangerous world, there are foreign foes, we are stronger together so why would we put to

house in gainingville, georgia? i say there and say the chevron doctrine is really causing your business problems. joanne is having a great waffle at this point and i said your business is going to be good. i'm a republican, vote for me. she's looking at me like, chevron, i just stopped at the gulf station, what's wrong with chevron? i think conservatives are speaking languages that people understand. so what a better idea would be to say the trump administration has cut regulation, has made it better, the only thing we can now do is let businesses operate more efficiently, let them operate in the way that they should safely, economically and do the things businesses do. i've never met a business that wanted to hurt their employees. i've never had a business that wanted to hurt their bottom line. if they did, they didn't stay in business long. why don't we just go to the same people and say, you know why we talk about deregulation? washington, d.c.? because last week, i was talking to a business owner named jim. and jim was looking at it, and he said, i'm going to be able to add a new piece of machinery. because when the tax cut

they didn't win the house of representatives because the democratic wanted democrats to waffle on some of these more important questions. >> they won because moderates, suburban democrats -- >> there's the tension. >> i think there is a tension, but i think that there are a lot of progressives that also want it. what i'm saying is while you can -- >> the majority is what, how many seats, most of those are moderates from suburban districts. >> but part of the calculus was oversight of the president. not saying every one of them ran running on impeachment like tlaib. i think oversight, conducting oversight and impeachment are different things. those are on a spectrum. >> democrats need to listen to moderates that voted for obama twice, then voted for trump and are asking how exactly does this impeachment deal help my brother-in-law get a job. how is this going to actually advance my life? why are democrats talking about something that happened two, three, four years ago, not what's going to happen next year and the year after. there's limited oxygen. the clock is ticking toward the 2020

waffling over his tax returns. >> outright refusing to release them. now with democrats in charge of the house of representatives, a committee chair has finally taken the one step that could show lawmakers what the president has refused to show anybody, maybe she you and me. lauren fox on capitol hill. so tell us about the process now. he's got the power, the chairman of the ways and means committee, under the law. but we know the president is going to challenge this. >> well, that's right. this is a 1920s era law. i just spoke with the chairman of the ways and means committee, richard neal. he basically said the reason this took several months was because they had to make sure that they had the case locked and ready to go when this goes to the federal courts, which they expect to happen. here's what neal told me just a few minutes ago. >> position from day one, as you'll recall, is this would be measured. this is likely to wind its way through the federal court system, and we wanted to make sure that the case that we constructed was in fact one that would stand up under the critical scrutiny
