Reporter well, its been an extraordinary day of images, hasnt it . It began with marine one swooping down over best of youc palace. Extraordinary pictures as members of his family and members of the royal family watched. Then he made his way to westminster where he laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknown warrior. There you had history being watched by the president and being made by the president as prince andrew, the queens son, led the president around and showed him around. And then there was an informal lunch with members of the royal family. And one of the moments that i think may be remarked upon and that was the image of prince harry appearing to hold back, not close to the president. Perhaps he wasnt supposed to be coming forward. But i think it will be remarked upon because of those comments with a british tabloid newspaper about meghan. And Prince Charles taking up an afternoon tea. It looked relaxed and informal. These kind of events combine extraordinary this kind of extraordinary state occasion, these grandiose images with very private moments between the president and members of the royal family. Tonight, the culmination, this enormous room where the cutlery, the seats, everything is carefully measured. The queen will give a speech and President Trump will be giving a speech. I think people will be holding their breath. And we know why one would be holding the president. Sadiq khan wrote a scathing piece about the president rebuking this state visit. The president responded calling the london mayor a stonecold loser. The president has denied calling Meghan Markle nasty. She had said before she married prince harry, she had negative things to say about him. We know that the president said this. Lets share the sound. Are you sorry not to see you, because she wasnt so nice about you during the campaign. I didnt know that, no. I hope shes okay. I did not know that. She said shed move to canada if you got elected. Turned out she moved to britain. A lot of people moving here. I didnt know that she was nasty. He didnt know that she was nasty. The president did say that. Hes called the mayor a stonecold loser. Is that going to make anything awkward tonight . Reporter its making the whole trip awkward. The politics are very difficult. The leader of the opposition has refused to do to the banquet tonight. While you have this constitutional occasion hosted by the royal family looking terrific in terms of pictures for the president , the background is very, very difficult politics. All right. Keir thank you very much. Lets bring in Washington Post political reporter eugene scott. You have called the attacks unhelpful. For those who dont follow it closely, how significant is it that shes not around . It is significant in part because she is one of the most obvious ties and most recent well known ties between america and britain right now. She was born here in los angeles and now is a duchess. And so shes been very vocal about politics and social issues and could honestly be a bridge between a president whos quite unpopular in britain at the current time, but instead of addressing the valid concerns she had about his divisiveness and some of his world views and comments about women, she dismissed her in a way that shes dismissed hillary clinton, Elizabeth Warren, the mayor of san juan puerto rico when they also point out that he is not as helpful as you would think the president of the United States would be. Those are people who are involved in government and legislating. Meghan markle just had a baby. And shes a member of the royal family. As far as politics and policy goes, does it really matter to the president as ugly as we could say things are in the u. S. , theyre even worse in the uk, you could argue they need President Trumps support more than he needs theirs. If it really had no meaning, if Meghan Markles views of the president of the country of her birth were insignificant, one could argue that the president would not be taking so much time to meet with other royals. Theres power and influence that she has beyond what happens on their in their versions of capitol hill and congress. And so it wouldnt be unhelpful to form a positive relationship with Meghan Markle, at least not to dismisses her. We know that she remains popular and she could help people in her new adopted country have a better view of him if he somehow explained what he said or meant that she found troublesome in a way that she found helpful. I want to ask you about the president s soninlaw, Jared Kushner. He was interviewed this weekend, heres what he said about birtherism. Was birtherism racist . I wasnt involved in that. I know you werent. Was it racist . I know you werent. Was it racist . Look, i know who the president is, and ive not seen anything in him that is racist. I was not involved in that. Did you wish he didnt do that . Like i said, i was not involved in that. That was a long time ago. It wasnt that long ago. Jared kushner was in their life and orbit while trump was carrying on about birtherism. Thats incorrect that Jared Kushner says he wasnt involved in it. But that wasnt a hard question. It wasnt a hard question. And two points, birtherism was rearrived during the 2016 president ial election and we saw Melania Trump speak out in support of her husband and his claims of birtherism. I think a better question for jared is, you were involved in the campaign. Why did you not speak out on it then . I think this response from jared, its why so many people believe its not just the president who traffics racism, but its the administration as whole. What jared could have said was that was not an appropriate thing to do. He could have distanced himself from the comments and spoke about what hes doing to improve relationships with people of the muslim faith and people who are not white and he didnt do any of that. Thank you for that. What Jared Kushner is saying, put all that stuff aside, look at all the good stuff hes doing, but hes unwilling to say this was bad stuff. He said the president isnt not racist for 69 years and becomes a racist. Completely omitting the fact that the president called for the execution of the central park five. Birtherism was two years ago. For jared to say that, im sorry, its too much. He knows if you Say Something bad about this president , he will not forgive you and come out hitting and swinging. Which is why you knew he was going to Say Something bad about Meghan Markle or the mayor of london, its Melania Trumps words, if you hit him, he will hit back five times harder. Thats how he rolls. Today investigators in Virginia Beach are searching for a motive in the mass shooting. The 40yearold shooter who was killed by police at the scene submitted his letter of resignation to his job earlier on that very day. Some of the deceased are being laid to rest today while four other victims remain hospitalized. Mayor, first of all, we are so sorry for everything that you have experienced over the last four days. Tell us, first, the victims who are still in the hospital, how are they doing . Have you spoken to them . Once again, were having a little problem getting the information out because of the protection of health care information. As soon as possible, im going to try to get out to see them. But right now we have with the health care privacy, we have to be careful right now. How are residents of the city and city officials and Police Working together . How have they been doing since the incident . I tell you what, as a mayor, not only as a mayor, but as a resident of Virginia Beach, ive never been prouder. Let me say that this entire unfortunate incident has been handled with professionalism combined with compassion and pa empathy, it really makes me proud. What is being done to make sure this doesnt happen again. So much of the lead up to this is legal . Yes. The thing is, we pride ourself on being a safe city and we are the safest city our side, and this is going to be an anomaly that happened where one individual, you know, wreaked carnage on his fellow workers and, once again, you know, moving forward, i think the city is going to prove itself to be resilient and responsive and were going to come together. And let me say that the outpouring of love and people wanting to help is really building and galvanizing this community in a very positive way. In a lot of parts of the country, you cant carry guns into public buildings. Thats not the case in virginia and Virginia Beach. Do you think thats something that needs to change . I tell you what, right now this is a very recent thing and i think we got to be careful that we just dont have a kneejerk reaction where we wind up galvanizing all the with the talk. But i think that as we go through, the most important thing is that were facing a number of funerals right now. But when we all sit down, as a society, i think we have to have a rational conversation on this topic and, you know, its obviously that something has got to be done in some way. But thats going to be determined. A kneejerk reaction. Do you believe what happened in new zealand was a kneejerk reaction . It was two weeks after a mass shooting. You saw a major legislative move. Once again, i think the topic of what to do about with the guns and everything at this point, we will have discussions on that. But right now our focus as a city is you know, with the families and things of that nature. But obviously this is going to prompt a National Discussion and we will be engaged in those discussions. Mayor, our thoughts are with you and the people of Virginia Beach today. I thank you and your crew. This is an unfortunate situation, but i think the people of Virginia Beach, were going to respond in a very positive way. Thank you, sir. Good luck. Thank you. I dont know how you can respond to this in a positive way, but what you can do is honor and remember the victims and the legacies they leave behind. All of them were City Employees except for one.

Weeks of heavy rain, storms and floods, tore a 40foot hole in a levy. The cities down river could be in danger. Flooding along the Mississippi River may continue through the summer. Joining us now from arkansas is nbcs gabe. Some of these areas wont be dry until the fall. What are you seeing now . How dangerous is it . Reporter were on a boat with the arkansas game and fish commission. This is what were seeing in this neighborhood, Riverside Driver in pine bluff, arkansas, the water rising several feet into these homes. Its incredible to see this Arkansas River is swelling to historic levels as you mentioned. The water was rushing by there after a levy breached a couple of days ago. All that water from the rain weve been seeing the last couple of weeks is rushing downstream past little rock and hitting neighborhoods here in pine bluff, arkansas. Tell me some of the things youve been seeing. Its been a slow progression. We knew it was coming. Its been watching the devastation rise coming up a foot a day. And its really credibincred we were speaking with a resident there. And he says how tough it is to look at those neighborhoods. Thats his home right over there. Its just horrible to see so much of these communities that are under water right now, more 260 river gauges are at flood stage after weeks of severe weather. And at this location, the river isnt expected to crest until wednesday. Right now this is some of the worst flooding that were seeing. Thankfully in oklahoma, the waters have started to recede. But other parts are dealing with historic flooding. How long do you expect it to stay like this, sir . Are we talking, days, weeks . Its going to crest wednesday. Were looking at months before these people can start going through their homes. Thank you so much for helping us see this devastation and for giving us this tour. Im going to send it back to you. But the river not expected to crest until wednesday. This is a slow motion disaster with no end in sight. Thats incredible. I just keep thinking, school is still in session, people have jobs to go to. Its an entire region of the country. If you lose your home for months, maybe your whole family has your local kin or the people who are around you and friends are all in the same boat. Thats a sad situation. Well continue to cover it. When we come back, the 2020 race kicking into high gear. Well be speaking to a president ial candidate and former governor of the state of colorado, John Hickenlooper is with us, and hell be discussing how hes trying to stand out from the pack.

As gun safety becomes a larger issue in the 2020 campaign, many Democratic Candidates are staking out positions hoping to stand out from the pact. Lets take a look at some of the key points from the candidates. New jersey senator cory bookers plan is extensive. Just a few of the points to include efforts to enact a federal Licensing Program for gu guns and background checks for gun shows and online sales. He will ban assault stiyle weapons. In new hampshire, joe biden supported the idea of fingerprintlocked guns. Elizabeth warren says she would deal with guns right off the start. Pete buttigiegs gun plan like booker in washington like booker and warren includes a Licensing Program and banning assault style weapons. Kamala harris added a time requirement to her gun plan. She says shell sign gun safety legislation within the first 100 days or sign an executive order if Congress Fails to act. Harriss plan is to strengthen federal background checks, ban domestic abusers and assault style weapons. Vermont senator Bernie Sanders supports efforts to expand background checks, require background check at gun shows and crack down on straw purchases. Every democrat in the field has spoken in some way about the need to address gun violence. Lets discuss this and more with 2020 president ial candidate, former colorado governor, John Hickenlooper. Two years into the governors first term, a gunman opened fire in a crowded theater that killed 12 people and injured more than 50 others. Governor, your state is no stranger to gun violence. What would your administration do to stop these kinds of killings . I still remember walking into the mobile control unit and seeing the original the first footage coming out of that movie theater, what the crime scene looked like. Some of the most chilling images ive seen in my life. And we implemented universal background checks, we limited the capacity of magazines. But i think we got to go further. And i think weve got to have a test like if we require young people to study and take a test to be able to operate a vehicle, to get a drivers license, why cant we require young people before they buy a gun to study and learn how to handle and safely store firearms. In many states we have hunter safety courses and theyre required to pass a test. I think its the next natural step. Over the weekend, senator Elizabeth Warren said its not just Mass Shootings that we should focus on. But places like chicago where gun violence on an individual level is out of control. How do you tackle both of these things . Well, i think you have to look at everything. We reached out in colorado and i think this is a Good Foundation for national policy. We started working with the shooting ranges, the gun stores to help them make sure that the people that are using the weapons know how to safely store them. You keep them under lock and key, you dont keep your ammunition in the same place. Suicide and accidental gun deaths and then guns being stolen and being used in gang fights, these are all chronic problems. And theyre all different but theyre interrelated. You were at the Democratic Party convention over the weekend. There was a moment when the crowd booed you when you said socialism isnt the answer. Theres a lot of people who would agree with you that socialism isnt the answer. But for millions of americans, capitalism isnt either. Whats your offering . What i was trying to say is that in colorado, we brought business and nonprofits together, democrats and republicans, to become the number one economy in the country, to get to near universal health care, to beat the nra with tough new gun laws. I think those examples are what we need to be doing. And in terms of capitalism, clearly its broken. Weve lost the competition. Too much like hardware, there are two companies that dominate 80 of the Hardware Store market. We got to put competition back into capitalism. When they stop collecting information around competition that would be diminished under a merger, we got to collect that data and push back and make sure we have more capitalism how are you going to achieve that . People decided they wanted convenience and they wanted to buy products cheaply and the way those Hardware Stores would offer that would be to get bigger and bigger and bigger and knock out the local competition. What rules would you change to reserve the trend weve seen . I think the issue is around the mergers of Larger Companies moving in with still Larger Companies. And you see in industry after industry, three two or three or maybe four Companies Come nate the market. Originally then they passed the antitrust act, the focus of that was to make sure we have sufficient competition so were not squeezing out Small Businesses. I was a Small Business person myself. If you look at it, over the last 20 years, every year weve had less new businesses start than we had the previous year. That is a terrible trend if you care about the middle class. And new businesses create the jobs that help expand the middle class. What would you do about health care . Well, health care, obviously, we got to get to universal coverage. It should be a right and not a privilege. I promote expanding a public option so that people have a choice and maybe its medicare, or some combination, if its done well, people will be attracted to leave their private insurance so we could get to a single payer. It would be a evolution, not a revolution. We say to 160 million people, they got to give up their private insurance when they dont want to. Lets talk iran for a moment. Its obviously become a hot topic. Were talking with the president overseas this week. Importance to secure our relationship with allies. Do you see a way back into the Iran Nuclear Deal or is there another way to deal with iran and all thats happening in the middle east . I certainly think iran is one of our most hostile and most antagonistic countries. And theyre hostile clearly to american interests and it extends beyond the middle east. I dont think that weve seen all of the facets and the possibilities for renegotiating that deal. Once we removed ourselves from it, which we fully have, without consulting our allies, thats the first thing i dont think we should ever do, we need to make sure that whatever our next moves are, are in concert with those allies that helped us reach that deal and put the pressure on iran from a variety of places to get them to stop funding terrorism, to make sure theyre not testing ballistic missiles, some of those things where they would a little wiggle room in the original agreement. Thank you for talking to us. Thank you so much. John hickenlooper, the former governor of colorado. Hes joining us from california. He was a Small Business man. He was.

Secretary of state mike pompeo is addressing two major flash points. Iran and middle east peace talks. First iran. Pompeo now says the United States is prepared to speak with the Islamic Republic with, quote, no preconditions. But Irans Foreign Ministry dismissed his comment as word play. And we have comments from pompeo and a recording obtained by the Washington Post this weekend. It comes from a closed door meeting with jewish leaders. It may be rejected. It could be in the end, im out. What happens when the plan doesnt gain traction . I dont want to talk about it failing. Call it whatever. I fail a lot, so its not about not using a word like that. But pompeo walked that back. Saying when the plan is unfolded and when the world can see what were proposing, i think it will be very clear that each party, indeed every person will be better off if this deal is struck. That sounds like an endorsement. If youre going to go with a plan, do that, even if you dont believe it. Jared kushner whos in charge of the administrations peace plan had this to say about the region and his role. Do you believe that the palestinians are capable of governing themselves without israeli interference . I think thats a very good question. I think thats one that well have to see. The hope is they can become capable. Do you understand why the palestinians dont trust you . Look, im not here to be trusted. Theyre not going to judge anything based on me or anything else. Theyre going to base it on the facts and make a determination. Do you think this will allow them to have a pathway to a better life. Im not here to be trusted. Did he actually say that . He did. Bobby, are you here to be trusted . Wait. We can say i think the point jared is trying to make, actually is, its not about him. If the Palestinian People can see a path or lead a better life than the one theyre currently living, does he have an opening, ie, is dividing palestinians from palestinian leadership possibly a good strategy for him . No, i wouldnt put it that way. I think trust is very, very important here. The United States is meant to be brokering a deal. If you cannot trust the broker who can you trust. They have a long history of not trusting each other each would argue for very good reasons. Theyve got to be able to trust the person making the deal. If they dont trust the dealmaker, then they cannot trust the deal. Theres been too much mistrust for too long in this region. Whatever the chances are of the next agreement, if there is one succeeding, it has to start from a place of trust. Can you answer that, ali . Whos a trusted dealmaker . I think back to u. S. Secretaries of state of both parties, who have attempted and failed, sometimes succeeded in dealing in the middle east, but it was exclusively built on trust. Nobody had to like anybody, i think thats an understanding, bobby, in the middle east. The arabs dont like the american position which theyve seen as being proisraeli for a long time. Theres been some sense of fair dealing. To me the surprising part is where pompeo in that recording didnt give what appeared to be a little hug to this plan. He really sort of said, whatever, it might work, it might not work. It is the secretary of state ultimately who has to go to the capital and say sell it. Yeah, were going to back this thing. America is going to help you make this thing work if youre in, right, bobby . Thats exactly right. It has to come with american guarantee. Without that guarantee, nothing else is ever going to get off of the ground in the region. As you pointed out, in the past, whenever theres been any progress, its because you have an american president guaranteeing it. When you have without that guarantee from the mediator, in this instance, its america, nothing is going to progress. Do you think those are examples of a trusted broker creating Real Progress or peace . Yes, there have to be each of those two each of the two parties have to be able to trust the negotiator, have to believe that the negotiator would follow through on the promises each was making to the other. The problem in this region where neither side is prepared to believe that the other will keep its promises and theres a long history of broken promises here. Who is to guarantee that those promises are made. That guarantee has to exist and only the United States in this time and in this place can make that guarantee. Remember, that peace holds today, peace between israel and egypt, and if i didnt, the world would be a yet more dangerous place. Bobby, thank you for being here. You are here to be trusted. Just to be clear. I just think its a line you shouldnt use if youre a negotiator. I think what he meant to say is, its not about me and he failed to say it. I agree. I dont think he meant ill in the statement. But if youre a negotiator, i think im someone you should trust. I agree with you. There could be a ceasefire in President Trumps trade war. China and mexico are ready to step up talks. What that could mean next. Youre watching velshi ruhle. Wed like you to trust us, right here on msnbc. Welcome back to velshi ruhle. The Top White House economist is headed out the door as the u. S. Fights several trade disputes around the world. He discussed his and it from the council of economic advisors this morning. Why do you want to leave . I think its partly a respect for the institution. You mentioned being in a position too long. Does that mean youre looking at things like the tariffs as a positive . Because thats not something i would have expected of you two years old. Theyre just different questions. I think its appropriate we separate them. Well, i dont give advice like border security, but i can say that, you know, if you look, theyre at the table. His departure comes as both china and mexico are now willing to step up trade talks with the United States. Heres the question. What does that even mean . Kal kala aea tausche whic months later actually happened. The president believes that using tariffs to achieve policy goals is something that actually works here. I think we should note that as acting chief of staff, for fewer than three times on a briefing call, it is his hope that the president doesnt put and mexico has said that it is willing to make some changes to its immigration policy. So well see whether those talks can actually be fruitful. Where the president s economic advisers do not believe these policies work, but they are charged with implementing them. But kevin hasset has been clear of dwyering. What these policies would means. He puts these things forward, but he will be the first to say that hes not at the negotiating table with china. Hes not at the negotiating table with mexico. Hes an economist, weighing in from an academic perspective and its ultimately up to the president and the people in those rooms on how to proceed. Yesterday, chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney was deadly serious about his threats with mexico. But others have said. He said this is just to get mexicos attention. Well see whether he goes through with it and that he wanted to do something about it, and so this was the policy that they put forward, its hard to know whether they were other things that were discussed, make a tax on remittances, and this was the watereddown version fir firms.

Well, remember, steph, this was a message that acting secretary shanahan delivered to his chief of staff, who then delivered it to the white house military office. So its not so much the military office is while he was delivers this message, he wasnt delivering it so much to the administration or certainly even to President Trump. What we did hear from both acting secretary shanahan and, as you referenced, from act the white house chief of staff is that far this administration, this matter seems to be closed. Acting secretary shanahan said he does not plan to launch an vision, and mick mill vaughnie, which pressed by chuck todd, our colleague, he says he does not anticipate anyone from the white house will be fired from this. As you also referenced he said this was the result of a 23 or 24yearold advance person who had an idea and it moved up the chains. Courtney, thank you. When people in the military are sort of making these decisions about what the president does or does that like and what he might see or doesnt see, it seems a little light. Remember, we learned this a few months ago when we got the schedule, and all the information that was being kept, but even the rationale, if you dont want to do things to upset him, my kids tell me they dont like who to sit next to. Her executive producer said she is doesnt like to sit next to between 1 and 2 00 p. M. From then on, im in great shape. Someone else is in our seat for the next hour. Im in great shape at 2 00. Casey hunt is taking over next. Thanks, cakasie. Thank you. Im in for katy tur, where kevin across the atlantic for a state visit
