We start with just the latest twist in this russia investigation as the investigative walls appear to be closing in on long time trump friend and adviser roger stone. Special Counsel Robert Mueller has his sights set straight on stones inner circle and one of the witnesses is defying him by refusing to appear. This guys not showing up for his grand jury testimony that was set to happen for today. The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. With the Guccifer Pseudonym who was effectively a russian spy, so there are connections and thats just the tip of an iceberg that Robert Mueller has seen the bottom of and all the underneath of and we havent. When you look at, you know, michael, Andrew Miller, christine davis, this wikileaks back channel, what does it say when all of these people, your aides are being subpoenaed and you havent at all, as of today, been contacted by investigators. That cannot be a good sign. No. It could indicate that roger stone is, in fact, a target of the grand jury and normally targets of the grand jury are not brought into the grand jury unless theyre notified that they are a target and given the opportunity to try to convince the grand jury not to indict them. There are a lot of blinking red lights around here. About him and why hes not showing up. Reporter yeah. So he refused to go to court today to appear before the grand jury, brooke, so hes got the legal side of this, the legal fight. His lawyers say they plan to continue to fight the special counsels authority. They say its unconstitutional. They did that in court today. Andrew miller was found in contempt but whats interesting here the judge put the Contempt Charge on hold while millers lawyers appeal. Thats the legal wrangling here but who is Andrew Miller. Hes yet another associate of roger stone whos of interest to the special counsel. He worked for roger stone maintaining emails, but his lawyer has made clear hes only had limited contact with roger stone since 2014. Stone has said previously that Andrew Miller played a limited role in the 2016 campaign, but stone released a Statement Today saying that miller had no knowledge of any russian collusion, knew nothing about wikileaks, so roger stone really there saying, you know, why does the special counsel want to talk
to this guy, he shouldnt really be of interest to them in this broad russian collusion probe. The key here is that, you know, muellers team theyre keying in on roger stone, his interactions with wikileaks and now they want to talk to everyone in stones orbit who is in touch with him around that time and really get what they know. Andrew miller, hes defying this. Were seeing the Manhattan Madam In Court today. We know another associate of roger stone has now agreed to comply with the subpoena and, brooke, the key to that is in september 7th, thats six days past the September 1st Deadline that Rudy Giuliani had sort of arbitrarily set earlier this week, so we know that the Mueller Investigation is going full steam ahead and its going to continue into september, brooke . Speaking of that deadline, jessica, thank you. Michael over to you. We keep seeing Rudy Giuliani come on tv and radio shows and say september 1 this thing is going to be wrapped. Really . When Rudy Giuliani first
entered the world of trump and this case, he said it would be wrapped up in two weeks. That was a couple of months ago. Any one who relies on Rudy Giuliani for information about timelines that are outside of his control i think is making a mistake. Mueller will set the timeline and hell determine when its ready to go. Obviously, manafort is going to trial in Late September So Mueller is not shutting down on September 1st. Rudys comments were investigations of this sort cannot continue 60 days up until an election which is just made up. Were all better off not listening with, you know sort of to what giuliani says about dates. Theyre made up. If i just might add, michael, knows this yeah. Michael knows this far better than i, but when it comes to that 60 day window that michael just referred to, there are no rules or regulations thats not a thing. Even customs that say there cant be any action. What the tradition is, is that there are no overt actions dealing with a candidate for office between labor day and election day. Now, the president is not on the ballot, but the theory behind pushing the September 1st date is that hes not officially on the ballot but he is metaphorically and politically on the ballot very much in these midterm elections. Dana bash and michael zell din, thank you so much. Coming up next, it only took one game of the nfl preseason and President Trumps already engaged in a feud with players over, you guess it, the national anthem. How much of this, though, is political strategy on trumps part . And what is the nfls next move . Also, her antiimmigration rant was beyond dog whistle. Criticizing massive demographic changes in america, does fox news have a white Anxiety Problem and can comments like these ever be walked back . Also kanye west at a rare loss for words when pushed over his support for President Trump, wait until you see this moment. Youre watching cnn. Im brooke baldwin. Why did i want a crest 3d white smile . Dinner date. Meeting his parents dinner date. So i used crest. Crest 3d white removes. 95 of Surface Stains in just 3 days. For a whiter smile. That will win them over. Crest. Healthy, beautiful smiles for life. Theres also a lot to know. Part a thats your hospital coverage, part b is all the doctor stuff. The most important thing to know .

He said that not just once, by the way, he said it again even after all of the backlash. Here we are one year later, were discussing race and once again the most heated of ways of the president today renewing his attacks on these Football Players after several of them took a knee or raised a fist. He says that theyre unable to define theyre outrage. Nfl games which are played on american soil, by the way, are not the places to protest. On top of all of this, you have this fox news host blatant citing illegal and Legal Immigration that the america she loves doesnt exist any more as demographic changes. She cites race for not liking the america she sees and when spike lee whos new movie profiles a Real Life Confrontation with the kkk was
asked about charlottesville and how the racists werent even wearing masks, this is what spike lee had to say about racist in america and who is speaking to them. This guys got in the white house is not even a dog whistle. Its a bullhorn, and then also, weve seen a rise on the right, its not just americans, its worldwide. Kanye west has a different take speaking out in support of the president. Everyone around me tried to pick my candidate for me and then told me every time i said i liked trump that i couldnt say it outloud or my career would be over, i get kicked out the black community, because blacks can only be democrats. You so famously and powerful said george bush doesnt care about black people it makes me
wonder what makes you think that donald trump does or any people at all . Why dont we take a break . Well come back and kanye west is here. I have with me Joe Madison Civil Rights Activists and host of the black eagle on the urban view channel, joe, it is always a pleasure. Thank you so much for coming on. Any time. So lets start with the nfl. I want to run through some of what we just talked about. Trump is tweeting that these players are unable to define their outrage. We know that many of them are calling on criminal Justice Reform which the president just held meetings on yesterday, so he knows full well, joe, why theyre protesting. He knows. And if he doesnt know, then what he should do is go meet with them and invite them, if they would show up, and listen
to what they had to say. You bring them in, hear what they have to say. First of all, lets be honest. These are intelligent young men and what he said is what i used to hear and many of us heard who remember 50 years ago in october, there were two young men, john carlos and tommy smith who stood in mexico city with their fists in a salute and barefoot and the reason they did it as john carlos told me was because they want to use that platform to draw attention. What we have to do is to make sure that President Trump and others and particularly on the right do not rewrite the narrative. It was about police brutality, it was about what randy moss did when he listed i think 17 names
of people who had been killed by police and so they know. These are intelligent young men and hes just rewriting it. They can define it and he knows it but to your point on have them over if theyd come, have a conversation, i dont know if the president wants to. Let me read you something from jerry jones the Dallas Cowboys owner this is what he said in a sworn deposition that donald trump said to him about this. This is a very winning, strong issue for me. Tell everybody. You cant win this one. This one lifts me. So my take away, joe, it seems to me that the president eats this up. Oh, he loves it and, by the way, its a distraction. It is absolutely a distraction. You would think the president of the United States with mueller breathing down his neck and down the necks of a lot of associates would be far more concerned
about his upcoming interview, testimony, whatever hes going to have with the special prosecutor. The reality is, this just simply is a distraction and hes not going to stop these young men from protesting. The reality is, its a political move. Thats all it is. How about so charlottesville, one year ago, happening i know. We dont one year ago happening this weekend. Go ahead, joe. What i was going to say, what bothers me the most is you now have an altright group, a group of neonazi, a group of White Supremacists that are coming to have an anniversary. You dont celebrate what happened a year ago in charlottesville. If anything, they should be a memorial for the young lady that lost her life, but i will say this. I believe theyre going to come, theres going to be a handful of
them. Theyll probably more anty protesters than there will be those that will be there for an anniversary. Who celebrates White Supremacy but a White Supremacist . Who celebrates naz iism but a neonazi. The reality is, im more pleased with the pastor of First Baptist church, A Predominantly White Church and the pastor of the 19th street, guess what theyre doing on sunday at 2 00, theyre having communion together at the foot of the Martin Luther king memorial. Thats what america really is about. Joe madison, thank you for coming on. We played the clip just quickly, spike lee, i want to tell everyone to stick around because his film is out today. Were talking to the man that plays the role of david duke and what that was like for this actor to put on this white robe and the research he did and the
things he found. Well have a fascinating conversation next hour. Thank you. Any time. Thank you. Coming up next, turn that plane around. Those words from a federal judge erupting on the Trump Administration over their decision to deport Asylum Seekers. That judge even threatening to hold Jeff Sessions in contempt.

Call or go online today. Call or go on line today. We have been following the trial of former Trump Campaign paul manafort, the prosecution was supposed to wrap up today but theres been this long
mysterious recess and lawyers are still not back in court. Shimon prokupecz is standing by i know they were talking with white noise machines. What is going on today in this federal courthouse . Reporter were just getting an update now. Everyone is back in court now. The judge did take the bench and the prosecution is calling its witness, its first witness for the day. Theres been a mystery surrounding this, the entire day, the judge took the bench this morning, called both parties to the bench and theyve been in this indefinite recess until just moments ago where all the sides have now back in court, the judge is taken the bench and hes told the prosecutors to call their witness. We dont know what the recess was about. We dont know what the issue was about that caused this long delay. It may have been a juror issue or something else, but certainly for this judge who likes to move things along, who has been keeping things at a pretty steady pace, to have this kind
of delay, it had to be something significant, something that concerned him but that seems to have been resolved as the trial is now back under way and its unlikely now that the prosecution will rest their case today. They had hoped to end their case and let the defense start their case, perhaps this afternoon or monday now. Okay. Stay close. Let us know when you have more, thank you so much. Sure. Lets move on to this next one, heres a quote, turn that plane around. That is the urgent command from a federal judge who was in the middle of an asylum hearing concerning a mother and her daughter. Judge sullivan erupt when had he learned that the government had already put the two Asylum Seekers on a Plane Deporting them back to el salvador. So through his anger, this judge, even threatened to hold Attorney GeneralJeff Sessions in contempt. We only have Court Transcripts but the fury in his words leapt from the page so i want to you hear these words. Let me quote this judge for you
right now. This is what he says. He said, this is pretty outrageous. Somebody in pursuit of justice who has alleged a credible fear in her mind and is seeking justice in the United States court is just is spirited away, while her attorneys are arguing for justice for her. It is outrageous. Im also directing the government to turn that plane around either now or when it lands. Turn that plane around and bring those people back to the United States. Its outrageous. What else can i do . Im really upset about that. I really am. Im sorry to keep going back to it. When you think about it, these people are seeking justice in a United States court. The words from this judge. Alan gomez is a lawyer what did you make of what he said. My favorite part of the transcript is when the judge apologized for raising his voice as he was doing. This is clearly an incredibly
remarkable case. Weve seen a lot of President Trumps Immigration Policies in court over the past year and a half and ive been covering a lot of them and i have not heard one like this and what upset him so much is that the government had assured the judge that none of the plaintiffs in this case would be deported before thursday night. They wanted to give him time to hear the case and to make his and to make his ruling and right in the middle of the court hearing, they had taken a break and they found out these people were on the plane back to el salvador so thats what led to the eruption but more broadly speaking, this is a very important case because it deals with the ability of the u. S. Government to limit people who are applying
