good morning and welcome to "morning joe," it is wednesday july 31st, along with joe, willie, and me, we have msnbc contributor, mike barnable, white house reporter for the associated press, jonathan lemire, white house correspondent for pbs news hour, yamic yamiche. >> the progressives were center stage, flanked on the wings by moderates. there was great give and take. i think any donald trump supporter that saw this debate stage might not have as many easy targets as they did after the last round of democratic debates because you actually had some more moderate candidates actually suggesting more of a practical approach, let's say than an overly utopian approach which i think a lot of americans would think when you're talking about giving health care to illegal immigrants and you're talking about giving free education to somebody because they cross the border, i think that's a 80/20 issue, americans would be against it and think it was too utopian. >> and willie geist, first of all, i thought the debate was really well run. they got a lot in there, the lt -- a lot of conversations.

willie, let me tread very carefully with the next thing i say here. "the new york times" reporting that members of robert mueller's own staff new early on that he was obviously challenged, whether by a medical condition or something else and that he was not able to put in the hours he had been able to put in before and that things were challenging. we suspect now, perhaps, that's why he had an aid next to him the entire time. talking about his labored performance was a departure from his once labeled stamina. others scheduling this hearing had to know this. i am really surprised if their overselling this as the movie and they know that the man is facing apparently some challenges, that they put him in front of the cameras. we were all calling for public hearings but we did not know what people close to robert mueller knew and what the democrats knew that he should not have been in the glare of a public spotlight if he is facing some medical challenge. >> there are a number of reasons he didn't want to testify. among them were some of the reasons we sa

live now to washington and our correspondent david willis.d our correspondent david willis. have to remint co nsta ntly we have to remind ourselves constantly in the trump presidency how unusual all this is. what does it amount how unusual all this is. what does itamount to? how unusual all this is. what does it amount to? that's a very good question, mike. tonight we saw the house voted to condemn donald trump's tweets, and we also saw the house allow the house speaker nancy pelosi call donald trump a racist, after the republicans asked for those remarks by nancy pelosi be scratched from the record and the acting chairman of the chamber, a man called cleaver, in the chaos surrounding him had thrown down the gavel and stormed out. it was quite a dramatic night. we saw all the democrats in the house of representatives voting in favour of this motion, four republicans joining them as well. and then when that vote was over, democrat lawmaker al green called for the president to be impeached. there was "no" president to be impeached. there was "

david willis for us there.entenced the mexican drug lord joaquin el chapo guzman to life in prison. as part of his sentence, he will have to hand over billions of dollars. the bbc‘s nada tawfik was in court. well, when el chapo entered the courtroom, he of course already knew his fate. his crimes require a mandatory sentence of life in prison, and so it was really noticeable throughout the hearing that he kept looking back at his wife, his family, who had attended the sentencing hearing, knowing full well it may be the last time he sees them before he is sent for life to prison in solitary confinement at a maximum security facility in colorado. he took his moment to speak there during the hearing to really rail against the us justice system, saying his trial was unjust, that the conditions of his confinement in prison amounted to mental, psychological and emotional torture, and the prosecutors really took issue with that. they hit back, saying that el chapo was uniquely deserving of the long sentence he receive

but we have to face the fact that willie willie. his voice is a government that backs ira reality on the ground. like them and not like that he might about them or or agree with them but it's difficult to loads of process that excludes an actor that has the military might to attack tripoli and has the level of foreign support that you can't still somehow i think we need to be thinking about a new form of alert that called i don't believe in but certainly not one which approach your henri excludes it's a choice on the ground and less that when i think i think one thing that is explicitly clear in this situation in libya is that while governments around the world put their own national interests 1st. and perpetuates the current situation in terms of the military support that has been provided to both sides in the conflict or be it the policies of european states where the priority appears to be more about controlling migration and supporting libyans to see a peaceful insists and successful libya i think and so we see a change in that

david willis reports., president trump is not backing down — spelling out his message in capital letters, lest anyone be in any doubt. and going on to attack the democrats for closing ranks around the four women. "the dems were trying to distance themselves from the four progressives," he wrote, "but now they are forced to embrace them. that means they're endorsing socialism, hate of israel and the usa." minutes later at a joint new conference, the congresswomen, three of whom were born in the usa, hit back. he is launching a blatantly racist attack on four duly elected members of the united states house of representatives, all of whom are women of colour. this is the agenda of white nationalists. the first note that i want to tell children across this country is that no matter what the president says, this country belongs to you. and it belongs to everyone. this is a distraction and we should not take the bait. we can sit here and continue to recycle his hateful rhetoric, of which i cannot feign surprise,
