The president and his campaign had set expectations very high about the crowd size here in tulsa. They had said more than a Million People had applied for tickets onlineveral thousand people who actually show up for his event seem like it was the campaign underperforming as the president used this city to begin his campaign again. A raucous return to the Campaign Stage in tulsa where the president vented months of resentment about the pandemic that kept him from rallies. Mocking covid19s origin with a racist nickname. More names than any disease in history. I can name kung flu, the chinese virus. Reporter he blamed more testing for spikes in positive cases. I said to my people, slow the testing down, please. Reporter beyond ironic, as the Campaign Announced before the rally that six members of the advance team tested positive out of hundreds tests. Quarantine procedures were immediately implemented.

I have no railing. Reporter upset by coverage of his twohanded drink of water, he did a demonstration. Asserted he had no health issues. With an arena with lots of unfilled complaint may be about a relaunch that fell short. I reached out to white house officials to ask about the president saying he asked his staff to slow down the testing. Thats when they responded saying the president was just saying that in jest and that he is very proud of the more than 25 million tests that have been conducted. They point out the u. S. Is leading the world in the number of tests that are done. Willie . Strange thing to joke about if it was a joke. Kelly odonnell starting us off in tell is in tulsa.

Morgan, thank you very much. William barr announced saturday, President Trump has fired the top federal prosecutor in new york after the prosecutor said he would not step down. That United States attorney had been investigating people and cases around the president. Pete williams is following this story for us. Good morning. This all happened quickly. Now the u. S. Attorney Jeffrey Berman is out after 2 1 2 years. Attorney general william barr announced friday night that he would be stepping down so that President Trump could nominate his replacement, jay clayton, the chairman of the securities and exchange commission, who is not an experienced prosecutor. Clayton told the president that he was interested in the job and would leave thesec. Berman said he would stay on the job until his successor was confirmed by the senate. On saturday, barr said in a letter that he recommended that President Trump fire berman. Thats what happened. The president said later he had nothing to do with it. This move did set off alarm bells. Berman isnt just another u. S. Attorney. His office is investigating the Business Practices of trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and two of his exassociates. Republicans and democrats say its going to be hard for clayton to be confirmed. Barr said he is directing the justice departments Inspector General to monitor the new york office to make sure that all the cases there continue to be handled appropriately. So bermans deputy will take over. He described her last night as smart and principled and said the office will be in good hands. Pete williams, thank you very much. Chuck todd is nbcs political director and moderator of meet the press. Lets begin in tulsa, oklahoma, with the rally last night. There was a lot there. The president spent 11 minute ta s talking about the ramp at west point. He proved he could drink water with one hand. He went after democrats and protesters. That was supposed to be the launch of his 2020 reelection campaign. Can you sift through everything we saw last night and find the Campaign Message . What is President Trump running on . This has been a problem, willie, and some of his own advisers and those on the campaign have acknowledged that they havent essentially put together, okay, what does a second term look like, only in the last week have staffers in the white house started to put together a policy agenda for what a second term might look like. He has not really figured that out beyond, i belt remember the great economy . I will build it again. I think ultimately, its about the only sort of forward looking message he has. Everything else is grievance. Everything else in some way its almost a bit of, its 2015 and 2016 trump, just with updated lines and updated characters. But its the same sort of grievan grievancelike shots at various political opponents, the press, culture wars. In some ways its the same shtick. You have to ask yourself, is it start to wear thin if you look at the evidence of whether its turnout at the rally itself or his poll numbers. Yeah. I guess we will find out. Hillary ee the cheers against clinton. He doesnt inspire the same disdain as she did. Lets go back to the u. S. Attorney, Jeffrey Berman. He was a donald trump supporter. Put in that job by this attorney general, by this justice department. Now dismissed. Is this as plain and simple as it seems from the outside, chuck, that Jeffrey Berman was looking into people and looking into cases around the president , including Rudy Giuliani, and the attorney general william barr and the president of the United States said, he has to go . Look, willie, it fits a pattern. Right . It seeps as if when there is somebody investigating something the president doesnt like or one of his allies doesnt like, that person is suddenly out of a job, whether they are an Inspector General, whether they are another member of the justice department, acting u. S. Attorney in d. C. Or what we see in new york. Theres a pattern here. Frankly, you could argue they dont get the benefit of the doubt. Certain certainly, congress isnt given this administration the benefit of the doubt. Even some republicans. You had growing frustration over the firings of the inspectors generals which have taken place over the last three months. Now this. They may try to say this is nothing more than the president trying to do a favor for a golfing buddy. If you look at that time through the larger lens over the last three months, it looks like its a pattern here of, boy, theres somebody close to the president is under an investigation, in this case Rudy Giuliani. The person doing the investigating is suddenly retired. Plenty to discuss as always for you, chuck. Thank you very much. We will look for more this morning on meet the press when chuck is joined by adam schiff to talk about the firing of the u. S. Attorney and the partisan divide over coronavirus.
