everything else. >> absolutely. if there's one thing that undermines the legitimate protests movement is having guys burning burning limos or -- it gives anyone a reason to think that's face of people who are protesting trumt's election or the executive order. >> i don't think they care what they are sayg. it causes tuble for the political process, so what. >> an ark kiist don't care about anything. with hundreds of thousand of people with -- but over the country that's lead leaving out

speech, they don't like this. the rest of the america looks and says if that's what opposing donald trump, maybe i'm a little closer, it makes crazy things he do not as crazy. >> what portion, give me a number? >> 70%. >> 70% of the country. >> if you're talking about cal berkeley, when you say -- if that's the face of the opposition that riles people up. >> you're a news person, straights straight down the middinmid middle i don't think it's fair to say 70% of the --
>> it's easy for a lot of people to hold up to berkeley as an example of a lot of things, the left coast, it's all of those things, that make it a symbol beyond the black ski masks. people are arrested in ohio too, this is happening this a lot of different places. >> you know this is a dynamic. these people are going to keep giving their speeches, rich spence who got sucker punched. >> that's is their freedom. people want to protests those people speeching, that is their right too. where i get off the train is when people decide to break windows.
>> right. >> do they represent the movement, no. >> let ask you, if your opinion, what percentage of the opposition wants to negotiate with them try to get the best you can, even bernie sanders, says i want to get a goo trade deal out of this guy, how many want to make sure want to be known as total resist err. how is that dividing politics? >> i don't have a percentage for you. the names you mentioned are the ones i would have too. you see in the -- you say your interesting in infrastructure, i'll write an infrastructure bill and dare you to say no to it it. that's a way. that's an negotiating tactic.
>> all we're dealing with -- >> how many people were saying i want to screw this guy, undermine him, like mitch mcconnell did with president obama. >> it's 50/50, we're dealing with a president executive order -- >> he sent nominees up. >> sure. ann is talking about infrastructure bill. >> if he wants to be enticing, he can make it -- he can put capitalization bill. up next,
. >> it's a temporary restraining order on president trump immigration executive order which bans muslim from -- this coming into us. what do we know about it. >> richard the judge grant a request two states this order would be unconstitutional and illegal he put temporary stop on enforcing a executive order. it sounds dramatic. anyone who applied for visa those visa are no longer valid the executive order issued last week render them invalled if you want to km to the u.s. from the kunt kuns have to go back and reapply for a visa.
early they can do that is monday. in the meantime, the government will go to appeals court and try to get a stay on the judge's order. it's a uncertain area. it's a bit of a gray area but for now, in the immediate day or so, it's going to have no practical effect. >> no practical effect here, pete. last weekend when the stay came down from the court, the federal court in brooklyn and this happening almost a week later, the differences between the two, you're saying, effectively are very little. what about legally? >> there's something like ten different lawsuits in ten different courts around the country. today a judge in boston declined to put a stay on the executive order. this judge in seattle agreed to put a stay so this is probably going to be fits and starts in the courts for the next several weeks until this gets worked out and it may eventually go to the supreme court but this judge's
order today is round one. >> round one. and the words used, stay was the word we saw often heard last weekend. this week we're hearing -- today within the last couple hrs "restraining order." any difference between those two? >> no. it's a temporary restraining order is -- was applied to just specific people that they wanted to try to stop from being deported. what this judge has ordered today says is the government can't enforce this executive order and -- for now. but as i say the immediate practical effect is zero. >> with all the efforts happening across the country, are they vastly different or very similar in effect here as you're describing what the last two are? >> basically similar lawsuits in all these courts, that i basically say it's unconstitutional because it treats people differently depending on where they come from. it's illegal and some argue it's
religious discrimination, richard, back to you. >> pete williams, thank you so much. also joining this hour is katie fang, msnbc legal contributor. katie, this just coming down to us at msnbc. anything that stands out from what you're learning about this particular restraining order? up with of the notes that has been made is that they were reflecting, at least the attorneys general, on statements made during the election process and then bringing it forward to this effort they were bringing to a federal court in washington. >> sure. i don't disagree with a lot of what people said in terms of the no practical effect statement pete just made but from a legal standpoint a temporary restraining order is such a high standard to be met, as a lawyer when you're seeking this typef injunctiverelief, it's a big deal to get it, even in a temporary sense. it has a declaration by a federal court judge that this underlying lawsuit that's been brought by the attorney general
in washington and minnesota, that it has the likelihood of succeeding. whether or not it does we know is left to be seen but ultimately there will be some type of determination by perhaps the highest court in the land, our supreme court, as to whether or not this executive order issued by donald trump actually has the teeth and legs to continue to be enforced throughout the united states. >> so practically you and pete williams are saying nothing different. the stay versus the restraining order, how are the two different goal pests different for those against this executive order? >> it's six of one, half dozen of another in terms of the stay having the application, the temporary restraining order has the same. they have to battle it out in but but the arguments that were made were the statements asserted during this election process proves the intent of parties, people like trump and the administration in terms of why this executive order was issued and whether or not it has legitimate bases versus just being a ban against muslims.
>> katie, 30 sektsdconds. what's next for the trump administration? >> trump is going to try to go and the trump administration is going to try to go and seek whether or not they can overturn the temporary restraining order but frankly the amount of time upon this temporary restraining order is not going to be very long there will be an immediate court date, yet another evidentiary hearing and why is that important? because there's the presentation of evidence, subpoenas, people that will testify regarding this. >> thank you so much, katie fang, msnbc legal contributor, for stopping by on this breaking news. again, a restraining order coming out of the state of washington related to the executive order that president trump signed one week ago. we'll continue to follow what's happening with this particular news item, for now, "hardball" will return after this very short break. thanks for staying with us. i have asthma...

country who care about the world and care about people who have made this country their home. what did trump do about the sense he had gone overboard and had been too held bebt about meeting the campaign promise, he carried forward with a first rate made for prime time presentation of neil gorsuch, his nominee for the supreme court. so what's going on? are there people in the white house acting as stabilizers, shock absorbers or know when the leader has gotten too far ahead that it's time for him to rejoin the troops, that even his own supporters are getting jumpy or is it some self-corrector in the guy himself, something that sounds a quiet alert that alerts him to the fact that the let trump be trump thing has run its course. that he's banging up against a wild barrier and better show people he has things together and can, if necessary, run things the normal way, the way that calms people down and makes him seem like he's been on the job for more than two weeks. we'll no know soon enough whether or not it's the people that bust in or some internal alarm system that tells trump to
IranFirementSanctionsActionDealTermsSean-spicerWayNotesAssociated-pressEightActivitygood morning, everyone. it is monday, july 30th. i'm ayman mohyeldin alongside yasmin vossoughian and louis bergdorf. president trump spent part of his weekend lashing out and questioning the credibility of robert mueller's ongoing investigation. in a series of tweets yesterday, trump claimed there was no collusion and called mueller's probe a witch-hunt and an illegal school. he went on to right, is robert mueller ever going to release his conflict of interest with respect to president trump, including the fact that we had a very nasty and contentious business relationship. i turned him down to head the fbi one day before appointment as special counsel, and comey is his close friend. also, why is mueller only appointing angry dems, some of whom have worked for crooked hillary, others including himself have worked for obama. and why isn't mueller looking at all of the criminal activity and real russian collusion on the
democrat side, positive december au dossier. we. this is best thing that happened all weekend, politico "playbook" spotting bob mueller and donald trump jr. as you see in the circle waiting for their flights at reagan national airport friday morning. a spokesperson for the special counsel's office says, quote, that's him waiting to board a flight. if it is ak wrurt tccurate the person was don trump jr., mr. mueller was not aware of him and had no interaction with him. the chances of these two individuals at the airport waiting at this gate, unbelievable. >> do you think he was gathering evidence? >> i don't know, looks like he was reading a newspaper, likely a story about himself. i would like to have thought bubbles. to be the woman on the phone in front of robert mueller. >> look at him, the guy doesn't
look like he knows who is around him. >> president trump's lawyer rudy guilliani is dismissing the claim that donald trump knew in advance of the trump tower meeting with russians. here is what he had to say yesterday morning. >> now i listened unfortunately, fortunately to my client's point of view, to many hours of tapes and the man is a pathological manipulator, liar. i didn't know that. i didn't know him well. i didn't know anything bad about michael cohen until all of this started to happen in the last couple of weeks. if he taped everything else, why didn't he tape this? it is not on tape. he's capable, i think, unfortunately of doctoring tapes. hasn't done that, would be hard to do it now since we have an expert all over it. it is just flat-out untrue. seems to me his default position is to lie. >> one of the allies, congressman darrell issa,
doesn't think they will pay the price in the fall if the president is proved to have lied about the trump tower meeting. >> if he is proven to have not told the truth, nobody is going to be surprised. there are some things in politics you just take for granted. >> you don't think it has any long-term impact, and he wouldn't be the first politician or president for that matter maybe to misrepresent things and gets over it? >> you know, businessmen listen to almost everyone that might be helpful. by the way, they make pragmatic decisions about how the make bad stories go away. late last week the attorney for stormy daniels said he's representing three additional women who claim to have been paid to keep their relationships with donald trump quiet. according to michael avenatti, those payments were made before the 2016 election. here is the president's attorney, rudy guilliani being pressed on that issue yesterday. >> it is beyond stormy daniels, were other payments made to
as-yet unnamed women around the time of the 2016 campaign? >> there is -- there is a conversation about that on one of the tapes in which i think chris cuomo asked him that, and cohen says no, denies it. said there were no other situations like this. >> was that an accurate statement by cohen? >> as far as i know, yeah. i have no evidence to disprove that. and we've searched the records. >> so michael avenatti tweeted at guilliani, are you denying there were other hush payments made to as-yet unnamed women in connection with the 2016 campaign? asking for some friends. you better buckle up, buttercup, because mr. trump's stupidity and disloyalty is about to catch up to him, quote -- i mean in paren they size. american consumers are beginning to feel the impact of the tariffs. u.s. steel and aluminum prices are up 33 and 11% respectively
from iowa to poland. that's echoing a move announced by harley-davidson last month. now, per the labor department, consumer prices rose 2.9% in june compared to last year. that's the highest rate in more than six years, guys. let's talk about some of the stuff. swroining us from washington, "politico's" daniel lippman. good to see you on the show this morning. >> good to see you. >> let's talk about the continued pressure on president trump, rudy guilliani trying to take down basically michael cohen's credibility in light of the tapes that came out last week. do their claims have any merritt and who do you think holds more credibility in washington right now from what you have been hearing? is it the president or is it michael cohen? >> i think it probably is michael cohen because trump is the one who's out there on a day-to-day basis telling things to the american people that are flatout not true. so you saw that yesterday when

welcome back, everybody. president trump intensifying his attacks on the free press over the weekend following his meeting with the publisher of "the new york times." the president revealing on twitter that he and a.g.sulz berger recently sat down at the white house calling it a, quote, very good and very interesting meeting and adding, quote, spent much time talking about the vast amounts of fake news being put out by the media and how that fake news has morphed into phrase enemy of the people, sad. so following that tweet, you can imagine the paper confirmed the july 20th sitdown took place, saying it had been a long tradition of "the times" publisher to hold such meetings with presidents and public figures who have concerns about coverage. "the times" added that the
president invited sulzberger to the oval office and the white house requested the meeting be kept off the record. sulz berger stating in part, my main purpose for accepting the meeting was to raise concerns about the president's deeply troubling anti-press rhetoric. i told the president directly that i thought his language was divisive and dang rules. i warnld that it is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and would lead to violence. it was undermining the democratic ideals of our nation and eroding one of our country's greatest exports, a commitment to free speech and a free press. >> so there's more. following the statements by "the times" and sulzberger, the president fired off a series of tweets. quote, when the media driven insane by trump derangement
syndrome, it puts the lives of many, not just journalists, at risk. very unpatriotic. freedom of the press also comes with a responsibility to report the news accurately. 90% of media coverage of my administration is negative despite the tremendously positive results we are achieving. it is no surprise that confidence in the media is at an all-time low. i will not allow our great country to be sold out by anti-trump haters in the dying newspaper industry, no matter how much they try to distract and cover it up. our country is making great progress under my leadership and i will never stop fighting for the american people. as an example, the failing "new york times" and the amazon washington ton post "washingtont write bad stories even on positive achievements and they will never change. switching gears for a moment, the trump administration has been ordered to provide information to locate hundreds of missing parents to reunite them with their children. a federal judge overseeing the
court-ordered reunification about 2500 immigrant children has ordered the administration to turn over a list of all parents deemed ineligible for reunification by wednesday. this list includes parents who have been deported, those who have been released into the united states and those who were not reunited because of a criminal history. 650 children remain separated because their parents had been deemed ineligible by the government. now, before the ruling, the department of homeland security claimed it had reunited around 1,440 children with their parents. the department has now yet committed to reuniting those with parents deemed ineligible, citing red flags in their background, waivers signed to be deported without their children, leaving i.c.e. custody or awaiting hearings inside the united states. let's get a check on the weather with nbc meteorologist bill karins. bill, you're going to give us a look at the west coast.
it is so critical, that weather out there, to contain the wild fires sweeping california right now. >> it has been bone dry and hot. when you think of seattle, you don't think of like hot and dry conditions. seattle will have their seventh 90-degree day this july. seattle of all places. today we have 6 million people still under heat advisories and heat watches. here is how it is going to feel today. pendleton, oregon 96. that's hot. they will be happy to get to august and it looks like today is the end of the extreme heat there in areas of the i-5 corridor. it will begin to cool off. this is the pattern this week. we will call it the logjam. last week we had the endless rains on the east coast. unfortunately we are setting up for this again. it will be very hot in the rockies throughout the week. that's not going to help the firefighting efforts at all. a storm system stuck in the
middle of the country and high pressure in the atlantic blocking it. this storm can't move and that pumps the moisture up the east coast. we will be dealing with days of rain and thunderstorms and high humidity once again, and that could end up with flooding concerns, too. this is through friday. the next five days areas of blue is one inch of rain, purple is two, the red is three. some areas in north carolina, north georgia, especially the southern appalachians, could get up to four or five inches of rain this week, leading to flooding concerns by end of the week. for today, enjoy your dry day today in the northeast from new york city to boston. late-day showers and storms in washington, d.c. wide-spread rainfall in areas of the south including florida, and a wet day from st. louis to indianapolis. for treading fire in the carr area, it is not 110 to 115, but they're still well over 100 degrees. not fun to be on the fire line. >> absolutely incredible for the guys out there.

♪ welcome back, everybody. i'm yasmin vossoughian alongside ayman mohyeldin and louis bergdorf. it is the bottom of the hour. top stories this morning, president trump spending part of his weekend at his new jersey golf course and used twitter to once again threaten to shut down the federal government over the battle for tougher immigration laws, the president tweeting yesterday morning, i would be willing to, quote, shut down the government if the democrats to not give us the votes for border security, which includes the wall, must get rid of lottery, catch and release, et cetera, and finally go to system of immigration based on mer ilt. we need great people coming into our country. his warning comes ahead of the september 30th deadline for congress to strike a deal to fund the government, raising a
possibility of a showdown 37 days before midterm elections. the funding battle would come amid efforts by republicans to confirm the president's supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh by october 1st. speaking yesterday, republican senator ron johnson of wisconsin, weighing in on weather to expect a shutdown come september. listen to this. >> i think hopefully most of the appropriations bill will actually be passed a little more -- a little prioritization of spending. so i lont like playing shutdown politics. >> how damaging would it be for republicans ahead of the november race? >> i don't think it would be helpful, so let's try to avoid it. >> put itting it lightly, not helpful. following his meeting on wednesday with mitch mcconnell and paul ryan, president trump trump signalled he was on board to fund the government with smaller packages of spending bills. he said talks over funding the border wall would probably have
to wait until after the mid terms. speaking of the mid terms, president trump announced he will hit the campaign trail this fall. >> i'll go six or seven days a week when we're 60 days out, and i will be campaigning for all of these great people that do have a difficult race, and we think we're going to bring them over the line. >> all right. so the president went on to say he's instructed the white house to compile a list of about two dozen mostly hotly-contested races so he can rally for vulnerable republicans across the country. however, trump had a different opinion about how presidents should spend their time when it was barack obama in the white house. >> i mean why is obama campaigning? he ought to be out working. he ought to be out -- but every time i look at him he's campaigning. >> in this year's highly-contested mid terms are on track to be the most expensive in history. according to a running tally by the center for responsive
politics, federal campaigns have spent more than $1.6 billion owe far this year, over 1 billion is being shelled out for tv ads by democrats and republicans vying for house and senate spots. neither of those figures include heated dub that torl races which do not have to release their financial reports to the same commission. they also do not account for sizable cash donations from outside billionaires. president trump is touting his high poll numbers among republicans. he tweeted yesterday morning, wow, highest poll numbers in the history of the republican party. that includes honest abe lincoln and ronald reagan. there must be something wrong. please recheck that poll. well, good news, we did. according to gallop presume's approval rating among republicans is 88%, not the highest in the history of the gop. at the same point in their presidencies, dwight eisenhower's approval rating was 92% among republicans. in fact, george w. bush's approval rating was 93%.
that's five points higher than president trump's. >> really doing your research, ayman. >> yeah, i was up early. me and daniel were cranking the numbers. >> all right. joining us from washington once again, "politico's" daniel lippman, coauthor of the "political playbook." let's talk about the president's threat to shutdown the government over immigration again, on the heels of the immigration debacle with parents separated if their children. still a lot of these children left wondering where their parents are. it seems at if 500 or so children left separated from their parents. what kind of reaction is that getting from washington? >> so speaker ryan and mitch mcconnell, they thought they had an agreement with trump not to have these types of antics because for the republicans to control all parts of the government and yet trump is saying, well, maybe we should shut down the government, that does not send the best message
to midterm voters because, you know, there is this process to pay for the border wall and there are just not the votes there in terms of, you know, getting democrats and moderate republicans on board for $25 billion for this border wall. to go back to your earlier point about, you know, trump's poll numbers, he mentions honest abe. i don't think that there was polling back in 1860. gallop was not calling everyone around the country. >> it was by telegram then, come on, daniel. get your history right. you have to telegram your poll results back. >> that would take some time. >> russia really hacked into the 1860 election. >> still awaiting results. we'll get back to you. let's switch gears and talk about the mid terms. i want to ask you about money being injected into the midterm elections. we put up a figure, there it is, earlier, about 1.6 billion spent on federal campaigns, another
billion or so in television ads. is there a correlation between higher spending allowance equating a win? is it guaranteed the more you spend, the more likely you're going to win? >> i don't think that's a one-to-one equation. mitt romney spent a ton of money, including some of his own money from his fortune, and he did not win. so you need a base level of spending to be able to be competitive, but it really comes down to candidate quality and also just the atmospherics of whether people are more interested in voting for democrats or republicans. i think it speaks to the broader issue with the political system in terms of the vast amounts of money. those donors, were -- remember, congressmen who get money from donors next time when they're elect, a donor asks for a favor, they will give it a high priority often. that is -- campaign finance reform is not a sexy topic, but if you talk to people around
town they think it is very important. those congressmen also don't want to be spending three hours a day raising money. >> i think of the congressional upset here in new york with alexandria cortez and she did it on a grassroots campaign. >> absolutely. money does not always talk. >> thanks, daniel. >> thanks, guys. president trump took time over the weekend to question the credibility of robert mueller by name again and mueller's ongoing investigation. in a series of tweets, trump hit his old tropes and added new ones saying there was no collusion and calling it a witch-hunt and illegal scam. trump hinted at a nasty and con ten shul business relationship he had with mueller without elaborating on that. >> joining us onset, nbc news correspondent making his first-look debut. welcome to new york. >> hey, i too get the high five. >> keir simmons, ladies and gentlemen. how do you like waking up this
early? >> i love it. actually, it is 10:00 in my world. >> let's talk about the trump/mueller investigation. he seems to be ramping up his attacks against mueller, using words like illegal scam, obviously he has used witch-hunt for some time. is this a sign you think the president is beginning to get nervous about the mueller investigation or how do you explain the sudden escalation in language? >> beginning to get nervous? of course he's nervous. he's furious. he doesn't know, like all of us, what is happening behind the closed doors of that investigation, and that is driving him crazy. but what he's doing is what anyone would do in a kind of sense politically and just throw mud, throw mud, see what sticks, accuse him of being democrats. that's a strategy born of the fact that what we have is a vacuum that's fuelling this story of speculation and what could mueller have, and in the end, of course, whatever comes out trump will say -- president trump will say that it is wrong,
that it doesn't stick. so he's kind of getting his rebuttal in early. >> it seems as if the president is taking a page out of putin's book, about deflection. what is the russian view on this? >> look, i talked to the russians all the time. i talk to -- >> do you now? >> yeah. >> and what do they say? >> by phone? >> you're not doing it deliberately, talking to them. >> somebody call bob mueller. >> sometimes it feels as though you're getting involved in a domestic dispute. they talk about american foreign policy can only really have to see it through domestic policy and it never has been more true than with the russia investigation. but the russians are watching. they are paying close attention. you know, i think one of the things that is missed is that this is all about money. >> yes. >> this is about rich people figuring out how they can make more money together. so when it comes to president putin, for example, his
overarching strategy is can we get rid of those sanctions. let me tell you a story. i spoke with a russian oligarch this year who is wrapped up in these accusations. i said, why don't you do an interview with me, set the record straight. he said to me, you know, i just sat down with a bunch of guyness -- a bunch of guys worth billions of dollars, so why do i need to. all of this is happening behind the scenes that the russians are pleased with, they're still pushing. i think the fascinating thing about the 2016 meeting -- >> so many questions about the meeting still unanswered. >> yeah. >> the fascinating thing about that, of course, is that has less to do with what did the russians have and what to they intend and everything to do with what did president trump think was happening. >> yes. >> again, back to it is all about the domestic. >> yes, and what did he actually know before the meeting. >> keir simmons, mixing it up with the russian oligarchs. >> all about the money. >> i wish i had that money.
>> a pleasure to see you, thanks. >> the president's son-in-law falling back into where he stands in president trump's or bit. after suggestions he may be close to exiting the white house. >> plus, bill karins back with a check on the forecast including the potential for some severe weather. stay with us. ♪ ♪ oh, look... another anti-wrinkle cream in no hurry to make anything happen. neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair® works in just one week. with the fastest retinol formula available. it's clinically proven to work

"the new york times" reports jared and ivanka are as comfortable and as close to the president as ever. one reason, you might ask? well, as trump continues to change members of his administration while cutting out dissenting voices, he's retreated back to his family. according to "the times" as the president becomes more emboldened, so have jared and ivanka. much of the confusion about jared and ivanka's standing appear to have come from the
president himself from telling aides to talk to jared to saying that jared hasn't been good for me. he told friends and john kelly that he wished jared and ivanka would head back to new york. >> i have a question as to why you guys make me read this part of a script. trump has joked about his daughter's choice of a husband, saying he could have had tom brady as a son-in-law but he got jared kushner. that's fact checking, folks. kushner who spoke about clearing the republican party from resistance to trump has many detractors saying that it steps from kushner being involved in areas out of his depth. kushner has reportedly feuded and/or undercut a long list of aides he views as not loyal. in a statement to "the times" kushner says through a spokesman, i have greatly enjoyed working collaboratively with so many extraordinarily devoted and competent people,
but those who tried to undermine the president found me to be an obstacle. >> i'm waiting for his middle east peace proposal. that's what has my attention. >> we've been waiting for that one. >> hopefully we'll get it before the four years are over. >> let's get a check on the weather with nbc meteorologist bill karins. what have you got for snus. >> i hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. a lot of people in oklahoma were awakend in the middle of the night. this line of thunderstorms rolled through with 40 to 60-miles-per-hour wints. it went through oklahoma zand now is pushing for the red river here and may make it down stored dallas going through the morning commute. it should weeken shortly, but we will continue to watch that. other areas of the east are getting drenched. we are seeing heavy rains setting up in areas of eastern north carolina, virginia, around richmond, towards virginia beach and a little bit of rain in central illinois and indiana. the humidity will skyrocket again in the northeast. it will feel like last week. as we go through today, be prepared for downpours from d.c.
