Took you so long . Good sunday morning and a happy fathers day to all of the dads out there. President ial politics, presentations and a partisan pandemic all came together last night in tulsa, oklahoma. President trump has refused to wear a mask and his supporters have followed suit dismissing mask wearing as some liberal virtue signalling and somehow is nothing more than signaling opposition to the president. Last night a president frustrated by a virus that has kept him off the campaign trail finally gets to do what he loves best about his job, thrill an adoring crowd of loyal supporters though the crowd was much smaller than anticipated and plans for an overflow area were scrapped. He did it in a tulsa arena with mostly nonmask wearing partisans, this as experts fear the indoor rally could be a super spreader event. This, as the United States, oklahoma and tulsa, specifically are all seeing spikes in covid19 cases. This as were still experiencing a 9 11like loss of life every four to five days. The rally came at the end of a rough week for the president , sinking poll be in, the john bolton book and two Supreme Court decisions that didnt go his way all on top of swiftly changing Public Attitudes that put mr. Trump on the wrong side of the culture wars that hes always leveraged in the past to his advantage. I saved hundreds of thousands of lives. We dont ever get even a mention. President trump at his First Campaign rally since the pandemic began. When you do testing to that extent youre going to find more people. Youre going to find more cases, so i said to my people, slow the testing down, please. With 26 states recording a 20 spike in new coronavirus cases over the last two weeks, oklahoma among them, the president went maskless, mocking covid19 with racist language. I can name kung flu. Insisting on the rally despite warnings from his over Coronavirus Task force. I would get a chance i would get that virus, but im not going to get that virus. President trump spent nearly two hours on the attack. The unhinged leftwing mob is trying to vandalize our history, welcome back. John bolton has pulled off a desecrate our monuments, our trick that few others have accomplished in partisan beautiful monuments. Washington, maybe jim comey and plame protesters and the being the other one. Media for the smaller than expected crowd. The president is facing a built bolton has managed to unite handful of new polls that show republicans and democrats him trailing joe biden against him. Democrats are angry he didnt substantially including a fox say it sooner particularly news poll where hes down by 12 during the house impeachment hearings. Joining me now is the chai inte points and the rally caps a week where the president suffered a series of setbacks. Committee, adam schiff who the rollout of former national oversaw thehearings. Congressman schiff, welcome back security adviser john boltons to meet the press. New book. I dont think hes fit for office. I dont think he has the competence to carry out the job. Happy fathers day. Happy fathers day to you and there is no guiding principle to my dad. That i was able to discern other excellent. Let me start with what we saw than whats good for donald over the last 48 hours with the trumps reelection. The president called the Southern District of new york. Bolton book a compilation of Pete Williams is reporting that lies and madeup stories and then insisted it is full of they know of no motivation classified information. He should go to jail for that having to do with some other case, that this was simply the for many, many years. President wanting to do a favor mr. Bolton is the fourth for a golfing buddy who is former official to question the president s fitness for office. Currently at the sec. The president has called bolton do you accept that explan asian . A wacko, jump mattis overrated i cant accept that explan and john kelly way over his aegsz given the pattern and head. Why do you keep hiring people practice of the president seeking his Justice System to that you believe are wackos and liars. Twin defeats on the supreme punish enemies and bill barrs court on daca and protecting lgbtq employees from being fired willingness to carry that water for the president. Because of their sexual also if you look at bermans statement himself, berman orientation. Mr. Trump tweeted on thursday, apparently has the same do you get the impression that the Supreme Court doesnt like me. Its almost like were a skepticism. Theres a reason why he included minority court. That passage in his statement and the latenight friday when he was saying im not firing of the u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of new york. Stepping down that he wanted to Jeffrey Berman was investigating a number of the president s ensure that these investigations associates. Continued or words along those thats all up to the attorney lines. So berman clearly had a concern general. Attorney general barr is working on that. Thats his department, not my about why he was being pushed out and given the firings of these inspector generals and department. Given the way that barr has im going to talk to acting sought to intervene in cases to Homeland Security chad wolf and help out people like Michael Michael osterholm in just a moment and i want to bring in flynn or roger stone or seek nbc justice correspondent pete punishment for people like williams to talk about the trump michael cohen, then you really administration dramafilled have to question whats really firing of the top prosecutor for at the basis of this friday the Southern District of new night attempted massacre and now york. So, pete, walk us through the last 48 hours where first he was completed one. Do you want to see should i guess getting promoted to a new job and justice. We expect to see mr. Berman in it was supposedly a resignation front of congress in the next week or two . And then he wouldnt go and then i certainly hope that he will he was willing to go. How did we get to where we are come and testify before congress, and i know chairman today . Our understanding is jay clayton, the sec chairman raised nadler intends to investigate his hand and said i want that job. He played golf with the this and he should. Its you know, i think the president a couple of weekends ago, and barr knew him and so most disastrous management of the Justice Department in modern they said, fine. According to the people weve talked to barr then said to memory and like so much of what berman, hey, we want to move we have seen in this this guy in, would you like to administration, it doesnt come as a surprise anymore, but yet be sec chairman or the head of the Civil Rights Division at its completely demoralizing to justice and berman said no. The people in the department and so friday night out of nowhere dangerous to the rule of law. Barr announced that the president would be nominating have you read mr. Boltons jay clayton for the onand berman book yet, congressman schiff . Would be stepping down and berman shot back no, im want i have not. Ive certainly read the excerpts going anywhere, and i was appointed by the court and i that have been published in the newspaper thus far, and theres will stay until the Senate Confirms the replacement and by a tremendous amount to be saturday the president actually disturbed about the substance of said yourity on. Them. You know, i would put frankly, so, pete, obviously when you at the top of the list the look at this over the last four months the president seems to willingness to change china if only china would help him get have gotten rid of inspectors reelected and this is a perfect general and folks investigating things and there are folks on echo of his misconduct with capitol hill who look at this ukraine, but more than that, we berman firing and wonder if its warned during the trial that you about the Rudy Giuliani could only count on donald trump investigation or things like that, that it fits a pattern. To do whats right for him and not whats right for the country any evidence that suggests that is part of this larger pattern . And john bolton says that is exactly this president s pattern no evidence, chuck. And practice that he didnt see its the democrats so a Significant National foreign especially because it was bermans office that handle the approximate policy decision made on any prosecution of michael cohen, other basis than the personal and political reelection the president s former lawyer interest and thats a tragic and although berman was recused from dangerous situation for the that case and is now whole country when the president investigating Rudy Giulianis has that kind of myopic focus practices and has prosecuted to giulianis former associates, whats right for him and is but several people in the office willing to sacrifice the have told us that they know of national interest. Know that you wanted to see no imminent case. They dont think this was intended to derail anything, and mr. Bolton testify. You wanted to see him do it it may, at the end of the day simply be that the president and voluntarily. The attorney general wanted somebody that they liked better and knew better in that job. You also on eye remember y re still, its a bit odd for had a conversation before the someone to say id like to take impeachment and why you didnt a position that somebody else already has and at the end of want to force it, do you regret the day who knows whether this that decision now . Is going to work because the should you have fought harder republican and chairman of the for bolton to testify before you committee Lindsay Graham has voted on the articles . Signaled that he wont go ahead no. With the nomination unless new yorks two senators approve of i think, indeed, our decision has been vindicated by the fact it and they both say they dont. That we are still in court now Pete Williams, really over a year later trying to get appreciate you trying to make some sense out of what was a mcgahn to testify. Chaotic 48 hours for what is bolton said he would sue us if also known as the sovereign we subpoenaed him. District of new york. We would still be trying to get pete, thanks very much. John boltons testimony today, you bet. And joining me now is the and given that he was trying to cheat in the upcoming election, wolf. We couldnt wait another year to secretary wolf, welcome to meet the press and a happy fathers get john bolton to testify. Day sir. Great. More than that, we are trying to thank you. Want to start big picture ratify what we are hearing from the senators. We made the case when we were urging his testimony in the here. Here we are in june and theres senate that the senators would been over 8 million confirmed one day have to explain why they cases of the virus around the didnt want to hear from him globe and the United States accounts for just over 25 of when they had the opportunity. All confirmed cases leading the globe, unfortunately, in that those that havent run away from statistic. How did we find ourselves in the camera, trump is guilty, the that precarious situation . Well, i think what we saw house proved them guilty and they werent prepared to do early on in january and february anything about it and we have the evidence to prove it, we did is a virus that came to the u. S. Prove it and nonetheless, what we saw china not being very john bolton has demonstrated and i think to the length and degree clear, not being up front about that he indicts donald trump. What they were seeing early on. We took a number of dramatic he also indicts himself for cowardice and for greed because step, the president did in there were people who did come limiting the spread and the forward. Seeding in the u. S. What we have seen is a white people like colonel vindman who house Coronavirus Task force working day and night to make risked their careers and he lacked that basic courage and sure we have the resources, the patriotism. It was only the agreed that made testing and the ppe and the him come forward in this book, state and local to governors to make sure we can open up this because remember, chuck, what economy in a safe and reasonable his lawyer was saying at the time was that bolton might way. Were seeing a number of states damage the presidency or he throughout the country in different phases, from phase one might violate his own oath and to phase three trying to get thats why he needed to go to this economy and trying to get the country back up and running court, but those things have given way to a book deal. And were doing a great job at there is some damning that. I why do you if this is allegations involving china what is considered a good job at which he brought up and there are also things in there this point. Involving turkey and saudi i say this other countries arabia. And europe have been able to these are a lot of things in the purview of the house flatten their curves and we have intelligence committee. Do you plan on getting not. If anything, were on the rise, and i know were doing more ambassador bolton to testify testing, but i want to show you soon and go under oath with these statistics right now, very these allegations . Troubling in the south. Three states to show you, yes, testing is up 30 to 40 , but we havent had a chance to read the book, as i mentioned, the positive case percentage is up in florida, 88 . Chuck, when we do and we expect in texas, 77 . We will within the next 24 to 48 hours like the rest of the oklahoma, 94 were in the midst country. We will look at what allegations like those involving turkey and of a spike, is there anything we other countries particularly could be doing now to basically involving china need to be flushed out and exposed to the bend this curve that were not doing . Well, again, the coronavirus light of day and then well make task force has put out that our decisions, but you know, we guidanc put out cdc has do need, i think, to expose the put out a number of things that states can continue to do in length and breadth of this president s depravity and how their various phases and were much it is endangering the seeing that from social country and those facts will distancing to the face coverings need to come out and were and everything in between. Discussing with the speaker and i think it is important when you my fellow chairs just how to do talk about testing weve tested that. Look, if you dont act now over 25 million folks and we tested more than any other and you sort of wait to act and country and were logically you wait to see what happens in going to see a number of cases november is that too late if you positive over what we see in other countries. Believe hes done impeachable its important to keep that in acts with the chinese mind, but again, were government, can you really wait supporting and this is a until after the election to put stateled reopening. Were supporting that through our medical professionals at hhs bolton under oath, to start the and cdc making sure our state and local officials have all of the resources and the knowledge process . I dont think we should wait they need to open up in a safe if we conclude that there are important things that he says that need to be exposed to the manner. It looks as if, though, that public. The public needs to know exactly what you guys have put out, the what they have in this guidelines that youve put out president. A lot of it is not a surprise, and the guidelines that cdc has but at the same time exposure of put out, even the president and his campaign arent following this president s misconduct is these guidelines holding an the best way to protect the indoor rally. Country. Is it a surprise that the Public Congress can take steps to protect the country. You know, look, those comments is not following the guidelines that the president made when as they should given that the only the interpreter and examples from the top is not wearing a mask and holding an president xi were in the room, blessing the concentration camps indoor rally with the recommendations of Public Health of the uighurs. Officials including people on its exactly why we want
