Presented with another opportunity to be president ial and he chose to offer a factually inaccurate tweet. At least 13 people are dead after a van deliberately swerved on to a Pedestrian Mall in a popular tourist district. Two people have been arrested. Isis has claimed responsibility and theres Police Activity in a town south of bars locelonbarce. Spanish police are calling it a raid. Well bring you details as they become available. Today president first tweeted his He Condemnation of the attack and offered help. Then minutes later, there was this. Study what general pershing of the United States did to terrorist whens caught. There was no more radical islamic terror for 35 years. To study that, youll have to go into your spam folder and find the email forward from your
many bloomberg reports the president is abandoning plans for an Advisory Council on infrastructure after two others disbanded yesterday. Meanwhile in congress, momentum is growing for a formal resolution. A move that just got strong from the Editorial Board of the usa today which is not known for taking controversial political stands. Telling republicans, put your votes where your tweets are. Something certainly does seem to be shifting among gop lawmakers with two high profile senators expressing deep concerns about the president and doing on it camera. Started erasing the comments that were strong. What we want to see the moral authority. It is compromised when tuesday happens. We should all call that on the carpet. The president has not yet
been able to demonstrate the stability that he needs to demonstrate to be successful. He also has not demonstrated that he understands the character of this nation. Without the things that i just mentioned happening, our nation will go through great peril. Steve schmidt is now an msnbc analyst. Today he fweetweeted he. Thanks for being here. Explain your thinking on censuring the president. It is very important when theyre shouting antisemitic slogans, marching adolf hitlers nail in the 1930s, convenient
rating the most evil regime in all of history, that let loose horrors and Human Suffering on a scale that beggers the imagination. For an american president to equivocate on the denunciation of that evil is a profound moral failure. The False Equivalency is an obligation upon political leaders to fix it, to address it. Each generation as we move to the end of the life span of the survivors of the death car. S, the men who stormed beaches in normandy, each generation who willley 100 years from now, we have an obligation to bear witness to the magnitude of these crimes. The prop suspicion steve bannon has on the table is this. He wants to move the Republican Party away from its legacy of Abraham Lincoln and eisenhower and reagan and Teddy Roosevelt and infuse with it White Nationalist whos have a common cause with neonazis. Thats his vision for a new coalition. And he is very willing, he hates the Democratic Party so much, to tear at the fabric of this country and to do real damage to it for the next midterm election. It is a cynical a strategy as weve ever seen coming out of white house. It is despicable, shameful, and republicans should react to protect the dignity and the legacy of the Republican Party. The neonazis there are drawing vociferous condemnation because it is so egregious. What the marchers were there to
do was to convenient rate rob e. Lee. And you have this debate across the country about that. And republicans are not against the idea of having these statues up. Does Republican Party have to reckon more fully the fact it did take in these southern conservative whos do conveniere it. It was the party of the north and the west. Hit become nations southern political party. Now trump is celebrating and venerating the confederacy. When you look at the problem in 2017, the challenges we face as we move into the third decade of the 21 century, why do we want to Refight The Civil War is
beyond me. If you choose to refight it, certainly would you want to be on the side of the union. Not the side of the confederacy. Not the slave he will pier. The republican side really quick will, South Carolina senators have come out refwoobu the president ful will a krenls you are pass . I think this is an enormous inflection point. He dmeemonstrates a level of unfitness every day, sometimes several times within a day. The congress is on recess. Theyll be hearing it at home. Our Military Leaders have delivered a powerful rebuke. And i think that republicans in the congress are also called on in this moment the deliver a powerful rebuke to show the president that they are a coequal branch of government. And that his moral failure
guilt. Donald trump went after the central park teenagers. He was very well known for taking pout full page ad. And this is with a he said when he was asked. Of course i hate these people. And lets all hate these people. Maybe shat what we need to get something done. It is inqulebl a report he asks me whether or not i have compassion for the people that did this crime. No compassion. Do you see some hypocrisy in republicans saying they didnt thing guy . The time for republicans to stand up was in 2015 and 2016 and they did not. The stench of Donald Trumps lifelong racism will stick to him for a long time. We want to have good debates. Trumps race six on full display in the story about general jack
black pershing. Donald trump just loves that there was violence against impeachment people. You smng general pershing sat down with those people and he read with them from the koran. Yeah. As if people could see that, this is donald trump talking about president Barack Obamas birth certificate in 2012. Take a listen. If the State Of Hawaii says this is official Efrgs Born In Hawaii on this date, here it is, why do you deny that in. A lot of people do not think it was an authentic certificate. His mother was not in the hospital. There were oom things that came out. If you would report it
accurately, i think you would get better ratings than youre getting which are pretty small. Is there any way, any adult who has been sentient, can claim they do not know Donald TrumpsRacial Attitudes . I dont understand this at all. I dont know. Just look at the policies. The transgender ban in the military. The muslim ban. The doj. Look at the department of justice how they reversed core on the war on drugs. This guy has made it very, very clear. Thats not an analogy, my friend. Thats not how analogies work. Analogies have to have a point of reference. Not only is this a mythology but theres no point of reference to make it an analogy. They live in this world of mythology. There are too many support heres are more than happy to live and breathe in that world. And do you get the sense that he is clinging to this base because he thinks he needs them . Or because he agrees with them . Well, he does both of those. I think theres something deeper going. On ive said for more than two years now, if donald could create the circumstances that would allow him to suspend the constitution, formally or informally, and become dictator, he would do so. One thing thats very clear, that donald trump cannot get military to back him to take order this country. Thats the only good news in this. Donald trump, we have not seen the worst of this. His racism is becoming more and more evident. He is retreating into the evil
inside himself. It was evident to all of us who know him well. This is not as bad as it is going to get. Senator corker is right. He is putting the nation in great peril. You have private fury, lots of People Tweeting against nazis fast thats a high bar to clear. Its political coward ice. I dont understand this. Are they holding out for tax cuts . For repealing of i dont understand what the political strategy is. In not addressing this. Unless they actually believe he the core of the base of the Republican Party is the core of trump. And the core of trump
supporters. Many Mitch Mcconnell has been fwakd this president and when this president stoop ed to his lowest point. Obviously he has the power in the senate but i dont understand the lack of courage. History will judge. Thank you. Appreciate you both. Were following Breaking News at this hour. A second Terrorist Attack in a town called Cambrils South of the site of the earlier attack in barcelona where van careened down a busy street. Two people were in custody but the driver is still at large. The latest from barcelona. Tell us what you know. Claudio . Tell us what you know. Reporter well, the town of cambrils is about two hours drive south of barcelona. This comes from a tweet from catalonia. Barcelona is the capital. They are working on the hypothesis, the Police Responded to a Terrorist Attack. They said that they have killed the alleged attackers while the Emergency Services only said they neutralized him. It is unclear if this was related to the killing of at leaf 13 people today that were rammed by white van here if barcelona but of course it is a strong possibility, especially considering the driver of that van was still on the loose. And we know there was an isis claim for the barcelona attack. Is there any chatter that it was involved in a second incident . Not yet. I think theyre trying to make sure that all the people responsible are brought to justice or neutralized in this case. The fact there is a Police Investigation following another Terrorist Attack, well know more of course as time goes on. It means the peril, the danger is not over yet. So i think they will make sure the towns in spain are secure before they evaluate the claim from isis, joy. All right. Claudio, thank you vex for that update. Appreciate it. When we come back, the interview
trumps brain didnt want you to hear. He is reviewing his reaction to the nationalists who gathered in charlottesville. Hey, is this our turn . Honey. Our turn .

Despite running the immediate business, bannon claims he didnt realize the reporter would publish the conversation. One of his colleagues said since steve apparently enjoys casually undermining u. S. National security, ill put this in terms
hell understand. This is defcon level bad. He rejected the president s hawkish stance on north korea saying theres no Military Solution the north Koreas Nuclear threats. Forget it. He was candid about his feuds, specially on china. Thats a foyt i fight every day. Theres treasury and economic chair gary cohn and Goldman Sachs lobbying. Im changing out people at east asian defense. Im getting Susan Thornton out of state. Pointedly smiling and shaking hands with her ahead of a meeting with japanese officials. Two reporters who have been covering all the ins and outs of the trump white house, and hunter walker, join me now. Bannon is either in, out, up, hes down. After the interview in which he contradicted the official line on north korea. Where does he stand with the president . Ever since general kelly has come in as Chief Of Staff for president trump, it has been made clear to me and other reporters that hes closely evaluating each senior official and their role. And bannon is included in that group. Bannon has a rapport with the president and he has a relationship with kelly. Theyre both military men. Haskelly met with him . Ill told that bannon has been in touch with president trump, with kelly and others. There are frustrations about the interview with The American Prospect with the candor he used to talk about the administration. I can imagine. Lets listen to the new york
congressman pete king. This is what he had to say. I think it is important for the president to fire steve bannon. He was saying he hopes the Democrats Use race as an issue, thats a win for republicans. That cant be allowed. He is undercutting the secretary of defense, the secretary of state, the head of the Security Council on north korea, his time in the white house should be over. And you were there is as elane chao was uncomfortable stlang next to donald trump as he went on that rant, supporting the people who marched in charlottesville. Does this make him too tox ib to work for . Have we expect to see bannon retired over it . I think you saw after that Wild Press Conference was Transportation Secretary Chao and gary cohn, the president s top economic adviser, attempted to hold a Press Conference about infrastructure. And i felt it was important to keep pressing the question about neonazises who expressed their support for the president. What was really interesting, gary cohen has discussed it and appalled, did not answer at all when i asked him if he had trouble with those comments. Steve bannon did address the issue in that blockbuster interview. He did say they were clowns. And i have talked to those people. Theyve said while they dont see bannon being white national. Is, that the rhetoric, the hard line on immigration, the economic nationalism is
something White Nationalists can support. And thank you for correct megaon that, secretary chao. This is what bannon seemed to indicate that more incidents like charlottesville, where does this connect with the American People with their history, culture and traditions . The raceidentity policies of the left wants to say its all racist. Just give me more tear down more statues. Say the revolution is coming. I cant get enough of it. A comment like that where he seems to say that charlottesville good for business. How does that play inside the white house . Inside the west wing . There are some deep concerns about this racial theme thats popping up. Not only from steve bannons
comments but trump. Seeing you oh, thats just Political Correctness but theyre saying this is unsettling to them. And no plans to resign among jewish members of his team, people of color . You dont hear any indications that people are appalled enough to quit . I can confirm that many of gary cohns friends on wall street, people who associated with him at Goldman Sachs and elsewhere, have couldnt tacted him, urging him to step aside for the good of his reputation, the good of the country. He is resisting even though he has been very alarmed by president trumps comments. He believes he can do something on tax reform or even become cheryl. Federal reserve. Thats interesting. What about the trump children . They seem tobl awfully quiet and
both practice the jewish faithful any read on their reaction to their fathers, i dont know, the sweet spot for people who protest with nazis . Well, as robert was saying, a lot of people in and around the administration are doing that Old Washington parlor trick. Where they privately express concern and just how upset they are while still showing up to work the next day. Jared and ivanka are not even doing that. I have tried to reach out to their spokespeople, to people close to them and it is utter silence. They had been positioned as liberal voices. And jared and ivanka are practicing jews. Coming up, the man known as russias favorite congressman meets with Julian Assange. He says he has a men for donald trump. Do you think Robert Mueller may want to know whats going on here .
