MSNBCW The Rachel Maddow Show June 18, 2016

The agencys current projections showed trump potentially procuring Nuclear Weapons as early as january of next year. The longer we wait to act, the closer he comes to obtaining a nuclear arsenal. The final red line for preventing him from acquiring this devastating capability comes in early november. If he is not properly dealt with before then, there will be no way to stop him from going nuclear. Its the onion, its not real. But you know, it is also real. Which is what makes it as funny as it is scary. But there you go. Thats your happy friday present. My friend pauline sent me that in the middle of the night. Im sending it to you as well. Youre welcome, happy friday. I got to warn you, we have got sort of an unusual show tonight. Tonight we are building the show in large part around a guest on who you have never met before but is here tonight for the interview. I think the interview is going to sort of blow your mind. The interview guest is joining from us london. We actually tried to get him here to new york to this studio to do this interview in person tonight and we were not successful at our efforts to get him into this country. Hes going to be joining us live from london. Then nbcs chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel is going to be joining us live from istanbul right after the interview. Specifically because of who this guest is. We want to talk to richard about it. So the interview is kind of a big deal. Its coming up in just a moment on this show. I think its going to make everybody crazy when we get to that part of the show. So please stay tuned for that. Weve been working on this for a long time. But i should also tell you tonight, as we speak, there is a donald trump event under way just north of houston. This has been a twoday texas swing for the republican president ial candidate. Most republicans would not be bothering to hold rallies in a red state like texas in the general Election Campaign right now. Because most republicans could safely assume they would carry a state like texas, even if they never even gestured vaguely toward the state during the duration of the campaign, let alone showed up and rented an arena and did a whole event. Maybe the Donald Trump Campaign is insecure about its prospects in texas. Maybe they believe the democrats when the democrats frankly bluff and say theyre going to put texas in play this year. I dont know why hes there. But donald trump has just spent two Straight Days in texas. Not just doing fundraisers there with rich texas gop donors. But also doing big public rallies. Tonight at his ongoing event north of houston there was a big hubbub when this africanamerican man was arrested outside the trump event, reportedly for having a gun. The initial reports when this man was arrested was that he had a gun in a parking garage adjacent to the trump event. And thats ominous, it would be scary sounding if its true, it would make sense the guy was arrested, except the fact that this is texas. You might remember yesterday at Donald Trumps rally in dallas you couldnt swing a cat without bumping into some guy proudly brandishing an enormous gun while he walked around outside the trump event even though he didnt work for any Law Enforcement agency. Tons of open carry guys at the dallas event. Weve had a report the guy at the houston event was arrested for having a gun. We are waiting for more details from the secret service or local police about what was initially described as a gun possession arrest tonight at this donald trump event. Right now that whole situation is a little bit murky. Tomorrow mr. Trump will continue his unusual red state tour with a fund raiser and a rally in red state arizona. Specifically hes going to be doing this fundraiser tomorrow at the former home of Barry Goldwater. The home where Barry Goldwater announced his ultimately disastrous 1964 run for the presidency. That bid for the presidency in 64 did result in Barry Goldwater winning the republican president ial nomination, but then of course it also resulted in him getting walloped in the 1964 general election along with republicans up and down the ballot from coast to coast. So this fundraiser that donald trump is doing at Barry Goldwaters former home in arizona tomorrow, it is awkward because of that political resonance. Controversial farright nominee of the Republican Party brings disaster on himself and the entire Republican Party come general election, thats awkward. Its also awkward because Barry Goldwaters family continues to speak out about how much Barry Goldwater, had he lived, how much he would have hated donald trump as a president ial candidate. In addition to what the goldwater members of the goldwater family told msnbc a little while ago, which we reported last night, Barry Goldwaters widow also told this to the Washington Post today. When the post asked her about donald trump raising money for his president ial bid at the goldwater home this weekend, she said, ugh or yuck is my response. I think barry would be appalled his home is being used for that purpose. Barry would be appalled by mr. Trumps behavior. The unintelligent and unfiltered and crude communication style. And hes shallow. So, so shallow. Asked what the late senator would think of donald trump as the Republican Partys nominee, Barry Goldwaters widow said, barry would be appalled and ashamed. He held the office in high regard. Meaning the office of the presidency. So the donald trump going to Barry Goldwaters house for a fundraiser tomorrow is very awkward. Essentially the goldwater family is saying that Barry Goldwater is spinning in his grave at the prospect of donald trump arriving at his house. That said, it is supposed to be a loly house. Barry goldwater built the house in 1957. He named the house, forgive my pronunciation here, benunikin, a navajo word which means house on top of a hill. The navajo name for Barry Goldwaters house writes us to the next awkward part of this red state swing for the republican candidate this year. When mr. Trump gets to arizona he had widely been expected to meet with leaders from the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation spreads across three u. S. States including 250,000 people. Its capital is in arizona. And donald trump had been expected to meet with leaders of the Navajo Nation on this trip to arizona. To offend Barry Goldwaters ghost tomorrow. But now today the speaker of the Navajo Council has told us that no meeting is happening. When donald trump hits arizona tomorrow, despite all these reports he was going to meet with the navajos, he will not be meeting with the navajos. Which im sure will put a real dent in Donald Trumps repeated and highprofile outreach efforts to impress native american voters. So i looked. Hillary clinton has somebody did you ever hear of pocahontas . Huh . Its pocahontas Elizabeth Warren. She seems to have made it her job who, pocahontas . Is that offensive. Very offensive, sorry. No, im sorry about that. Pocahontas . Is that what you said . Thats a native american reporter, actually, suggesting at that press conference, suggesting to donald trump that him using pocahontas as an insult is offensive. She said, thats offensive. His response was, oh, is it . Im sorry about that. There i said it again. So no, we can report today that donald trump will not be meeting with the leaders of the Navajo Nation when he is in arizona. And day one of Donald Trumps second year running for the presidency, which is today, day one of year two is not going great. Republican Maryland Governor larry hogan just told reporters he will not support donald trump for president , even though hes the republican nominee. The powerful Michigan Republican congressman fred upton has also just come out publicly and said he will not support donald trump for president either. And i got to tell you, the Washington Post had the most amazing verbatim quote today from one of the first members of congress who did come out and endorse donald trump right when he started running. Duncan hunter is a California Republican congressman, hunter came out of the gate endorsing donald trump. I believe he was one of the first if not the first members of congress to endorse trump. And hes been all over tv, all over the media, supporting donald trump ever since. But even good old Duncan Hunter at this point in the campaign, hes getting a little squeezy about donald trump these days. Im just going to im not going to edit this or elaws date this in any way. Im going to read Duncan Hunters quotes about donald trump as spoken to capitol hill reporters today, as transcribed today in the Washington Post. Im going to read this directly. This is Duncan Hunter talking about donald trump. Ready . Im not going to comment on what he said, really. Im not going to comment. Its all about trump. Trumps going to do what trumps going to do. What im done with is trying to articulate or explain or answer for what donald trump says. I think hell be a great president but it doesnt mean we endorse what he says. I think what he says and what hell do are two different things. Him talking about things direct quote. Him talking about things and saying things about things is different than him saying what hes going to do. But he says things about things that i dont endorse and im not going to try to articulate for him. Yeah, its not my job to answer for donald trump. Really, im not even a surrogate, im just an endorser. With that, congressman Duncan Hunter walked back toward the floor to vote. He says things about things. And thats from somebody who likes trump in congress. Thats the first republican congressman out of the gate to endorse donald trump. He says things about things, its not my job to answer for him. So things arent going great between the Republican Party, broadly speaking, and their president ial nominee. Meanwhile, things seem to be going in the opposite direction for the Democratic Partys nominee. The Hillary Clinton Campaign Announced today theyre going to be doing a sort of remarkable democratic event on tuesday thats going to feature Hillary Clinton herself but also every Single Member of the democratic leadership in congress. A Democratic Fund raiser. Every member of the whole extended leadership of the Democratic Congress in the house and the Democratic Congress in the senate is going to be there with Hillary Clinton. Honestly, if this was a bipartisan thing, this is the kind of event for which they would pick a designated survivor, theyve got all their top people all in one place with no exceptions. But Hillary Clinton is doing stuff like this now because she is going through the process of bringing all the elements of the Democratic Party to bear on her president ial run against donald trump. Secretary clinton has not yet given any indication of the timeline on which she will announce her running mate. Remember donald trump says that hes not going to announce his running mate, his Vice President ial running mate, until the convention. Hillary clinton has not said when shes going to announce her running mate but thats the next big shoe to drop on the democratic side. I will say there was pitterpattering of democratic hearts today at clinton headquarters in brooklyn when a surprise appearance was made by this one very highprofile Vice President ial democratic contender. This is fabulous i wanted to be here to say thank you, but i also wanted to be here to say, im with you all the way, weve got to get this done two little snippets of video that we captured from snapchat and facebook today as Elizabeth Warren made an unannounced visit to apparently a rapturous welcome at Hillary Clintons Campaign Headquarters today in brooklyn, new york. What does that mean . I dont know. Nobody knows if Elizabeth Warren is going to get the vp nod from Hillary Clinton. Its entirely possible Elizabeth Warren was at clinton headquarters today for unrelated reasons. Clearly shes going to be an enthusiastic campaigner for Hillary Clinton and against donald trump, whether or not she gets the running mate gig. But things are really progressing on very different tracks right now in the two parties. For better, for worse. Its going to be a big weekend and a big next week ahead. Tonight weve got lots to come, including a very unexpected guest here tonight for the interview. That is ahead, thats next, stay with us. Using 60,000 points from my chase ink card i bought all the fruit. Veggies. And herbs needed to create a popup pickyourown juice bar in the middle of the city, so now everyone knows.

Get Better Internet installed on your schedule. Comcast business. Built for business. I mentioned the next big shoe to drop in Democratic Politics is when Hillary Clinton is going to announce her Vice President ial running mate. But you know what . Heres a few thousand other shoes that did just drop in a different part of the Democratic Party and you should know about this too. In his online speech to his supporters last night, vermont senator Bernie Sanders told the folks who love him most that they should continue the work of his president ial campaign by running for office themselves. At the state and local level. It was the one big ask he made of his supporters in this longawaited speeclast night. And that ask appears to have garnered a big response. The sanders Campaign Announced today more than 6,000 people signed up at the sanders website to say that theyre potentially interested in running for office themselves. They got interest from potential candidates for a majority of statehouse seats, a major right of state senate seats, from every single Congressional District in the country. Now we dont know how the Sanders Campaign movement intends to help those folks become winning candidates. But 6,000 plus new Progressive Democratic candidates just signed up to say they maybe want to run for office . That is a big something for Democratic Politics. If this comes to fruition. Watch this space. Im going to make this as simple possible for you. You can go ahead and stick with that complicated credit card that limits where you earn bonus cash back. Or. You can get the quicksilver card from capital one. Quicksilver earns you unlimited 1. 5 cash back on every purase, everywhere. I shouldnt have to ask. Whats in your wallet . All right, this is a little different. Weve got a guest tonight whos here for the interview. It was really hard to get him here. In fact, we failed to physically get him here. The department of Homeland Security intervened in our plans and would not allow him into the country. So he will be joining us tonight by satellite. But aside from that drama, hes also someone who youre kind of just going to believe youre not going to believe he exists is the easiest way to say it. He does exist, we have found him, youre about to meet him. Let me set it up this way. This week on tuesday, a state Supreme Court judge in new york gave out a really, really stiff sentence. There isnt a Death Penalty in new york state anymore but this
