it be a police officer, a school security officer or a civilian who is carrying a concealed weapon, the shooter engages, shoots back and forth or commits suicide. either way, the shooting of innocents stops. it s upsetting to read these documents knowing what actually happened that day. and it shows a failure byea broward county sheriff s department either to properly train its officers or, in the case of maybe the current officer the officer who had to resign in disgrace, obviously he ignored the training if indeed he followed it. tucker: so this wasn t some hidden thing. this wasn t esoteric. this was in the training manual. i think that s relevant because sheriff israel in the days after the shooting went to the cnn gun-control rally and sat on s the stage and blamed armed citizens, blamed the middle of the country basically for what happened and never mentioned the failures of his deputy, but he must ve known that this was the protocol. wouldn t he have known that? that s
his family, extraordinary success. great doctor, great everything. he has to listen to the abuse he has to if i were him, actually, in many ways i d love to be him. but the fact is, i wouldn t do it. i wouldn t do it. what does he need it for? to be abused by a bunch of politician that aren t thinking nicely about our country? i really don t think personally he should do it. it s totally his. i would stand behind him. totally his decision. okay. now trump tapped jackson for the job after firing at that time previous head of the va, david shulkin who came on this show after his firing and told me trump s political appointees at the agency conspired against him because he refused to move quickly to privatize the va. jackson does not have the sort of resume that would prepare him to lead the va with its more than 375,000 employees. before his nomination, he was most famous for his remarkably rosy assessment of the president s health which

necessary, yes. the president had effectively an extramarital affair slush fund. then scott pruitt s luxury trip to rome on the public dime. let s have no illusions about what was really going on here. and what primary night in america looks like in the era of trump. i m basically trumpier than trump. when all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. the president and his lawyer are applying the same strategy that got the president-elected, to his rapidly multiplying legal threats. overwhelm the public with enough noise to drown out the facts and muddle the issues. whether it can work this time is still an open question. the president today spent his morning executive time, as he so often does, tweeting about the criminal investigation into his campaign, his allies and his family members and himself. and this comes after the president s new personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, claimed in an interview over the weekend that the mueller team might try to
some thought that there were changing winds in the united states that finally congress would impose some kind of gun regulations that could help prevent this kind of massacre from taking place in the future but now having seen this speech from donald trump in front of the n.r.a. it shows that he is back in line with the n.r.a. is prefer policy preferences so what s changed because of. the popular florida shootings he said that he would go to the go. so why was he bumped away from mine. it s true in the days after we did hear trump say that there needed to be some kind of action and that americans need to stand up to the n.r.a. but i think even this took republicans by surprise somebody has talked him back from that statements and he sees where his support is this is his base and he s really playing to them in a speech before the n.r.a. we re in an election year there are there are elections in november for the midterms and then ari has been a big supporter of republican candidates in
physical evidence. it came down to who the jury believed. they believed andrea s story and bill cosby, the comic legend found guilty on all three counts. he faces up to 30 years in prison. he was let free on bail. million dollar bond. a home on house arrest. we await the sentencing hearing. his defense attorney said the fight is not over. that s tom mesereau, famous for defending michael jackson. so we expect this to go to appeals. right now a big victory for andrea constand and the dozens of women that accused bill cosby of sexual assault over the years today. neil? neil: bryan llenas, thanks very much. just to put this in perspective here, constand is the focus of this attention in this case and these allegations. more than 60 woman have come forward making similar accusations and a pattern of
behavior. putting it in perspective, constand testified that in her case in 2004 meeting with bill cosby, he gave her three blue pills and she drank wine at his request. she passed out, wo
that s it for me. i m gigi stone woods. the news continues right now with my colleague, david, who s been tweeting this whole hour constantly. thank you very much. great to see you. good afternoon, i m david gura at msnbc headquarters in new york. we start this hour with president trump who is spending the weekend at his golf resort in bedminster, new jersey. the president ending his week touting friday s economic numbers. second-quarter gdp growth of 4.1%, that is the fastest pace since 2014. he s not been able to change the subject, avoiding all questions about the latest revelations from his former personal attorney michael cohen who nbc news reports is prepared to tell investigators that president trump had prior knowledge of that now-infamous june, 2016,
view that meeting differently perhaps in light of what we heard on that tape, in light of what we ve learned this week. cnn reporting, other outlets following here, that michael cohen is willing to testify that donald tru
if confirmed by the senate, i will keep an open mind in every case and i will always strive to preserve the constitution of the united states and the american rule of law. so kavanaugh is a graduate of yale law school and clerked for justice kennedy. in 1993 he met ken starr during a justice department fellowship and became a key staff member when starr was the independent counsel investigating the white water and clinton/lieu ensky scandals. kavanaugh helped write the final report to congress that laid out 11 possible grounds for impeaching president bill clinton. he served as george w. bush s white house counsel and staff secretary before he was nominated to be a federal judge in 2006. he was confirmed at that time by a vote of 57-36. now, brett kavanaugh s nomination sets up an extremely
consequential confirmation battle. within minutes of trump s announcement, several top democrats voicing their intention to vote against him. senate minority leader chuck schumer put out a sayi

Analysis and discussion of the day s top stories and compelling issues from Lawrence O Donnell. he s absolutely right about that. nobody can be sure of anything. none of us can be sure of what to believe as of now, but how strange is it that that was rudy giuliani s answer to this question. the meeting with the russians, how can you be sure if the president didn t know beforehand. rudy giuliani s answer to that was, nobody can be sure of anything. with defense lawyers like that, who needs prosecutors? so why hasn t donald trump replaced his weak, tv defense lawyer who is doing a terrible job of defending donald trump? well, there are a few real possibilities and rational possibilities for that. one is that donald trump doesn t know what good lawyering looks like and sounds like. after all michael cohen was donald trump s lawyer for years. the same michael cohen who rudy giuliani now
that s the combining of the denial with the collusion is not a crime narrative. the president was focusing on just the straight up no collusion point. you see it in all the tweets. now it is roaring back because of the thursday night bombshell that the president s own former lawyer and fixer cohen is claiming despite all the denials, the president did know about the russia trump tower meeting in advance. when that report drop, you know what happens next, they picked it up and whipped it around and began running with it again. it s hard to see the point of all of this hysteria. what would the crime be? it is not illegal to talk to foreigners. nobody is claiming that any information changed hands. even if did it, so what? i don t think it is bad if campaigns are turning to foreign governments for dirt. it s not collusion. it is not something that s impeachable. as they today?

people? i m very concerned, chris. i worked hard in a bipartisan way to get $380 million in election grants out and distributed to states. that s something senator klobuchar, senator lankford and others really fought for. and i m trying this week in the election excuse me in the upcoming appropriations votes we re having in the senate to get another round of $250 million in grants to states so that they can strengthen their cybersecurity defenses so they can procure new voting systems and equipment. senator klobuchar was just on in the previous segment with anderson cooper. yep. she and senator lankford have a great bill, the secure elections act, that i think we should take up and pass that is a corollary or a complementary
