shooting. his visit coming just hours after he continued to sow more division about with his rhetoric. as he is said to head to el paso next, his visit may be less than welcome there. we ll have two people telling me why they don t want the froze come. also a forceful rebuke of racism. senator and presidential candidate cory booker just delivering a major address from another site motivated by hate. emanuel church in charleston. we ll play part of what he said a few minutes from now. but we start with president trump on the ground in ohio. a live look at air force one on the tarmac at wright patterson air force base. he ll be visiting places where shootings took more than 30 lives over the weekend. he will be meeting with victims, first responders there and then he will will be traveling to el paso, texas. the leaders of both cities have made it plain that the president s divisive rhetoric is not welcome. before he left the white house president trump talked about their concerns. i think we have tend to it down. we ve been hitting we ve been getting hit left and right from everybody, many of the people i don t know, a couple of people from texas, political people from texas that aren t doing very well. so they re trying to make political points. i don t think it worked because, you know, i would like to stay out of the political frame. i think my rhetoric is a very it brings people together. president trump saying that his rhetoric brings people together. we get details now from nbc s kelly o donnell at the white house, gabe gutierrez in ohio and, kelly, i ll start with you. can we expect the president to continue tweeting about those who criticize his rhetoric today? hard to know, but i think of the course of the next several hours where the president is on the ground and visiting, perhaps in that window of time it is less likely that the president would engage in tweets. he tends to do those more when he s got some time to himself and his team sometimes will prepare a tweet that recaps a visit. so perhaps we ll see that. he is with the first lady and sometimes that also changes the nature of the visit. this is the president in a more ceremonial mode, not in the raw political kind of vibe that we sometimes see the president in. we ll have to see it play out. the president sometimes has a different perception of how his own rhetoric plays. you can certainly take that from his dmon his comments to reporters where he describes himself as toning it down when many of his critics believes that his words and policies and actions have inflamed a lot of the political environment in which we live right now. so the president will have an opportunity to see first responders, a community where he often has support and can make a connection. he will meet with local political leaders who often city by city can put aside their immediate differences and be civil and polite in these circumstances. we may see that play out. and there s an opportunity for office holders to speak frankly among themselves if they choose do that. we ll see if that plays out. the president s going on a day like this knowing that there are many people who would prefer that he would have stayed here in washington or hold him to account to some degree for a role in this. makes it a difficult trip for everyone, those who would prefer he not be there and to some degree for the president himself. so it s not comfortable, really, for anyone involved. and so the president has to tread lightly and those who will receive him will also perhaps have some discomfort. that puts some real onus on everyone as the president and first lady there will have their first opportunity to make an impression. kelly o donnell for us there at the white house. thank you, as we watch president trump and first lady melania trump descend from air force one. on the ground to greet the president we just saw the mayor of dayton, ohio. the democrat who said earlier this week that she was disappointed in the president s remarks. she did say, though, that she would welcome him to dayton. she also said that she would welcome protests as well. we do expect to see some protests in dayton, ohio, and el paso, texas. also on the tarmac they re greeting the president, ohio senator rob portman and i believe i see sherrod brown there, ohio senator sherrod brown, the democrat and the republican senators there from the buckeye state on the tarmac. we also are expecting that there s governor mike dewine as well, the ohio governor. the republican, by the way, governor dewine, i was in dayton earlier this week as he attempted to speak at a vigil in dayton, ohio, he was interrupted interrupted by chants of do something, do something from those who had assembled for that vigil there in dayton on sunday night as we see the first lady and president continue to greet folks there on the tarmac. this is again wright patterson air force base. also worth pointing out that there were actually three active duty airmen from wright patterson air force base who sustained some minor injuries early sunday morning while they were evacuating the scene of that mass shooting in the oregon district there in dayton. it s an air force base this is northeast of dayton, ohio, as we watch the president continue to talk to some of the folks there who have assembled on the ground meet him. we ve got to wonder what the president s saying to them and what they are saying to the president of the united states. gabe gutierrez has been on the ground there in dayton, ohio, since all of this went down over the weekend. gabe, what has been the reaction there? in dayton splisk to president trump s visit? actually you were talking about we were starting to see some protests here and from our camera position, it s tough to see with some traffic being backed up, this is in front of ned pepper s bar near where that shooting happened. you can see there seems to be some heated discussion happening over there between some of the demonstrators here not happy with president trump s visit. as you mentioned him just touching down. but there s another i guess counterprotester waving a 2020 keep america great flag. and there s some discussion about certainly whether the president should be here or not. hasn t gotten too heated just yet, just several dozen protesters thus far. but, craig there is what we ve been seeing over the past couple of days here of some skepticism over president trump s visit. certainly not as heat heard as it has been in el paso. but the mayor of dayton has said that the president s comments were not on monday were not helpful. she says that she doesn t think that the president s rhetoric or rather the president s rhetoric has caused a lot of pain here. so, again, we are here right in front of ned pepper s bar. this is in the historic oregon district where this mass shooting happened. nine people killed, more than 30 injured early sunday morning. right now several dozen protesters have gathered not happy with president trump s visit and, as you can see, a counterprotester over there, president trump supporter appears to be having a heated discussion with them over there. we expect this to play out over the next couple of hours. weapon do n we do not know too many details of the president s visit right now. he s set to meet with victims families and first responders but this is the scene right now here in dayton. can we see on the right side of the screen, gabe, if you could have your photographer pan back over and if we can make this picture a little larger on the right side of the screen so we can get a better sense of the tony, if you can yeah, let s pan over there. we re trying to get we re kind of locked down in our camera position here and we ll try to get a better picture. if we can head over there. but right now we re kind of zooming in over there. several dozen protesters, some media there. you see some of these these people holding signs, some of them saying dump trump. another protester saying the sign dayton loves happy people. certainly alluding to some of what many of these protesters see as divisive rhetoric the president has. now we re hearing louder cries of do something, craig. you ll remember several days ago this was the part that we heard during the very emotional vigil here. several hundred if not thousand of people were right here in the oregon district on sunday, sunday evening, just less than 24 hours after that shooting. there s wa a chant ths a chant d do something right when governor mike dewine took the stage. it s building over what some of these protesters feel is not being done at the federal level to curb some of this gun violence. over the last few days governor mike dewine saying he backed several gun gun control restrictions, tighter gun control restrictions as well as red flag laws. a lot of questions here in ohio whether that will go anywhere with the republican-controlled legislature. but right now we are seeing just, you know, some frustration, anger here building about the president s visit. certainly not as heated, at least from what i can tell, that we ve heard is happening in el paso. this is a different situation here. again, as part of the investigation, if i can mention some of of that, yesterday the federal investigation into this shooting, the fbi opening a federal investigation saying that up until now this does not appear to be racially motivated. but there is still a lot of frustration here, craig, about just in general gun control. we ve spoken with many people in and around involved with this shooting, including people that knew the gunman. there s a lot of discussion about mental health, mental illness, whether red flags were missed. but also frustration about whether, you know, he should have been allowed to have this weapon. although, as you know, craig, investigators have said there was nothing in his criminal history that would have prevented him from purchasing this weapon. we understand that he would have that he legally purchased it from an online retailer in texas. gabe. in any case, now we re looking at the situation unfolding, some chanting here, some discussion here gabe. about whether president trump should visit here. go ahead, craig. while you were reporting there was another protest that appeared to start there in dayton. this is the scene not far from miami valley hospital there in dayton, ohio. and, gabe, this is actually not far from where you, as well as you know. we see a number of protesters gathering there. and of course that that giant trump baby balloon that has become fairly popular at protests like this, that pop up ahead of the president s visit to certain places. but the balloon is there, some protesters are on the ground. gabe, do stand by for me if you can. i want to bring in ohio democratic congressman tim ryan now. ryan running for president and running for the democratic nomination. congressman, as i understand it you are in youngstown. i know you spent the better part of the week there in dayton. your district does not include dayton, ohio, but were you invited to meet with the president? were you invited to greet the president? no, i was not. not that i know of. if you had been, would you have gone? i was in dayton for a couple days. probably not. i m not sure. i probably would have consult with the mayor down there to see what she wanted me to do. i ve kind of been following her lead throughout the last few days of doing whatever she wanted me to do. so i would have probably consulted her. we ve heard leaders in these cities in el paso, there in dayton as well, a number of leaders say they would not meet with president trump. would you be willing to at least sit down and talk to the president about some ways that we can fix the gun violence epidemic in this country? you always want to leave the door open. but i got to tell you, i mean, this is one of the most disingenuous human beings i ve ever watched in my entire life. he gives a speech about unity a couple days ago and last night he s blasting beto o rourke. i mean, he just he s disingenuous. he doesn t keep his word. he is in it for the tv show. and he s not connecting and understanding what s happening in the country right now. you mentioned the anger, the fear. people are afraid to go to wahl walmart now. people are afraid to send their kids to school. kids think they re going to get killed in school. i mean, let s just stop for 30 seconds and think about what we re doing to our kids and then have the president in no way, shape, or form be a unifier of trying to pull people together. he should have said to beto o rourke, look, congressman o rourke, i understand your passion. i m saying if i contributed to this in any way, shape, or form. when i come to el paso i would love to sit down with you and give me my condolences personally and ask you how you think we can work together. that s what a leader does. and that s that s not what we have in the white house right now. and our country s worse off because of it. you ve mentioned before that the president throws rheetor cal jet fuels on fires burning in the country. what would you like to hear from him today to help ease the pain and frustration and the fear that a lot of folks are feeling right now, not just dayton, ohio, but all over the united states of america? it s hard for me to be as frank as i can to see him connect emotionally in this environment. i almost feel like he s incapable of of feeling, you know, that compassion that is needed that barack obama had, that bill clinton had, that george w. bush had to really connect with people in their pain. and the whole country s in pain now and we have a president who doesn t know how to connect with people in pain and in many ways makes it worse. so i don t even know what the advice would be. even if he said something, chances are he s going to revert back later tonight when he gets on his twitter feed or tomorrow morning and cause more and more division. and that s really the concern we all have. congressman, do you think he s incapable or do you think he s just unwilling? i feel i mean, you know, this is bar stool analysis here. i feel like he s incapable of feeling empathy for people and, you know, like i said, i m not here to give the guy a you know, an examination here, but i feel like he s incapable of feeling empathy. i don t think he deeply understands compassion. he himself said he never cried. i mean, i ve cried 50 times since i heard this and being in dayton. and i m sure you ve been moved too just being there. how do you not feel that emotion that people are going through? i saw an 89-year-old woman on a walker as i was walking out of dayton the other day in complete tears, had lived there her whole life. it just moves you. and i don t see that in him. and i think that s that s a real that s really problematic when you have the level of division that we have in the united states, the race issues that we have. these really deep problems that we have in the country, we need a leader who can who can meet everybody in that pain, in that confusion, in that fear, and then begin the healing process so that we can move forward. and it makes its way, and i m as guilty as anybody, i get really, really mad. and then i, you know, i get really moved to tears. and we ve got to figure out how we start healing this country. because we re all so concerned at what we re leaving our children. you know, i ve got we ve got angrydrea and i have thr children and we re saying what are we leaving to our kids and how can we fix this and do something? which the people were chanting the other day. i want to be a part of that dpoi don t think this president s capable of doing that. sad to say. i know a lot of democrats have been talking to background checks, enhancing background checks, improving background checks on a federal level. congressman, it is not clear whether that would have stopped the shooter in dayton, whether that would have prevented the shooting kne shooting in el paso as well. in terms of the conversation we should be having about possible legislative fixes, is background checks, is reinstating the assault weapons ban since 1994? is it something else? is it a combination of those things? what would federal legislation designed to fix this problem look like? i tell you, it s got to be all of the above. why are weapons made for war on the streets of dayton? why are they on the streets of el paso? that doesn t even make any sense. these magazine drums that allow someone to get off, you know, a hundred round within 30 seconds. i mean, that is meant for battle. that is meant for war. and now they re on the streets of the united states. so we have to figure out how to get those out of the hands of people, reduce their numbers. i mean, let s find a compromise. you want one, you got to keep it at the gun club and check it out. you can t bring it home and it can t be in the streets and we re going to know what these are. but i support the ban. same with the magazines and these extended clips that allow you to get so many rounds off quickly in an entertainment distinct district in dayton. this is not what we want happening here. but what we re doing, i m starting tomorrow leading a caravan if my official capacity going to youngtown, columbus, dayton, cincinnati, and we re picking u up activists along the way and we re going to louisville, kentucky, and we re going to knock on mitch mcconnell s door, not on his door literally, but we ll be in his hometown letting him know that the people of ohio are fed up. i m inviting every other border state to come and start a caravan and meet us down there tomorrow night. we ve had enough and the whole purpose is going to be for him to pass these two pieces of legislation about background checks. they re sitting on his door, the democratic house has already passed these. moms demand action in ohio are coordinating this here in our state and we want those two pieces of legislation passed. and we re asking everybody within an earshot, meet us in louisville tomorrow night and let s let mitch mcconnell know that this is a national effort. the people are going to start governing the country again and this is the issue we want to start with right now. ohio congressman time ryan running for the democratic nomination for president of the united states. congressman ryan, thanks for your time, sir. do appreciate it. meanwhile, while we were having that conversation, the protest in ohio continue. both scenes on your screen scenes in dayton, ohio. we re keeping a very close eye on the situation there as president trump and first lady melania trump have touched down in this city, a city that is still very much reeling and grieving from the nine people who were killed there and the more than two dozen who were injured. a tense reception. that is what the president may also receive when he touches down in el paso, texas, a few hours from now. a number of local officials say they did not want him to come in the first place. two of them will join me on the other side of this break. also, fanning the flames of white supremacy, that s what joe biden is expected to say about the president as both he and cory booker deliver separate speeches today. biden previewing part of that message in an interview with telemundo on tuesday. it s the thing that brings all the hatred out in the open. they think it s legitimate now to come out and do the things they do and talk about. it s about white nationalism and white supremacy against minorities. let me tell you, sleepy joe is going to wake him up real quickly. ake him up real quickly. hey, who are you? oh, hey jeff, i m a car thief. what?! i m here to steal

reporter: you know what, craig? i was at el dorado high school this morning for a memorial and remembrance for the 22 people killed at this walmart and it was remarkably positive and uplifting. surprising, really, given the long history of the president s, in my estimation, disrespectful posture towards the residents of el paso. the way he was long characterized this city as dangerous is just completely factually incorrect. it s one of the safest big cities in america and we should remind people that the murderer of the alleged white supremacist that came to this walmart drove hundreds of miles to come here to one of the safest cities in the country in order to carry out this terrorist attack. and beto o rourke, the candidate for the presidency of the united states and the former congressman that represents part of this area was there this morning. the president, of course, called out congressman o rourke this morning on social media. but but in a sort of superficial way that you often see the president do. he made fun of his name and talked about rally sizes. and i put to congressman o rourke that fact and the fact that the congressman responded. i asked him why in the is what he told me. he is trying to intimidate this community, make us afraid of one another, of our differences, of the border, of immigrants and we will not stand down. every single one of us is standing up to to be counteda. defining moment of truth. so i stand with this community that is so proud of the fact that we are a stiff people wcito come from the planet over and made our home in the united states of america and made it stronger and safer and more successful than we ever could have been otherwise. that s america at its best. congressman o rourke also told me, craig, that he supports his successor s plan to boycott the president s visit. she was invited to go to with the president today and she has categorically able to do so until they re able to have a conversation about the racism and the language that the president has used to describe many of the residents, the vast majority of the residents that live in this city. 85% of the people that live in el paso are latinos and the way that the president talks about latinos strikes right at the core, of the fabric of this welcoming, warm city. one other thing, craig, it still boggles my mind how people are so positive in the face of the president coming here six months ago holding a rally, disparaging people in this city and then stifg the ci stiffing the city $500,000 that the state and local officials had put towards the president s campaign to pay for that visit. craig. jacob soboroff for us there on the ground in el paso. thank you. we ll be checking in with you shortly again. and, again, let me show you a picture again, once again, dayton, ohio. this is the scene outside the hospital in dayton, ohio. this is well that s ned pepper s. that s the bar in the oregon district. there s miami valley hospital. we can tell you now as those protesters gather there outside the hospital, this that is wher president trump and the first lady, that s going to be their first stop. this is the hospital where a number of the victims and survivors were treated. the motorcade pulling up actually at the hospital right n now. presumably the president will be greeted by those protesters and by that giant trump balloon that we have seen at at a number of these other protests. actually i appear to be incorrect, looks like they re going to take the president through the back so he will not necessarily be seeing those protesters. he is taking a different entrance into miami valley hospital. we can tell you that while there he is going to be thanking first responders, thanking hospital staff, as well as meeting with victims and families as well. the president s motorcade pulling up to miami valley hospital in dayton, ohio, right now. as we watch that unfold, let s bring in tim miller, republican strategist, former deputy communications director for the republican national committee. tim, thanks for your time, sir. do appreciate you being here. first of all, are you surprised at all by the protests that we re seeing ahead of the president s vis knit is in dayt? absolutely not. of course there should be protests. i ve been shocked by the lack of humanity and the lack of self-reflection in the president s response to these shootings over the weekend. and i would just say to my former why are you shocked? colleagues and why are you shocked? i m not shocked that the president would do this. what i m shocked by is that people i know, people i worked with, my former colleagues and friends who worked and support this president, who is speaking up right now at this time to say this is when we need to turn the temperature down and help people grief? look, craig, there was a mass slaughter of hispanics three days ago, four days ago now, based on a white supremacy political ideology. and the president late last night is tweeting jokes about hispanics. this morning on the white house lawn he s talking about open borders. the only thing the president should be saying right now about hispanic americans is reminding anyone who might have any sympathy with that murderer that these are americans, they deserve our love, they deserve our respect, they deserve our compassion. and he needs to bring them together. and i just look, i grew up one mile from columbine and i remember what happened after that shooting. and all our community wanted was was for politicians to come in and help us grieve. and this president is completely unwilling to do that and so, of course, there are protests. there should be protests. and i m concerned about whether he s going to be able to, you know, execute even the minimum possible compassion today. you know, here s the thing, tim. i mean, this is a president you know what? i m just going to play it for folks and then i ll read the tweet. i want to juxtapose juxtapose two of his more recent exchanges. this is the president of the united states on monday. now is the time to set destructive partisanship aside. so destructive. and find the courage to answer hatred with unity, devotion, and love. and that s the president on teleprompter on monday. this is the president in a tweet last night going after the aforementioned beto o rourke on twitter saying he has a phony name, saying he trounced in. going back to what tim ryan said to me a few moments ago, tim, do you think that this is a president who is incapable of empathy or showing empathy? or do you think that this is a president who is consistently unwilling to do that? both probably. he s certainly unwilling. and, look, you didn t even read it in the beto tweet last night. i want to call this out. he puts in parenthesis, he goes by that time in pretend to be hispanic or something to that effect. a snarky joke about hispanics after hispanics were slaughtered. i get that beto s name is attacking the president. beto s name shouldn t be in the president s mouth today. only names he should be talking about is achond doe,rturo achons going to grow up without any parents. he s 2-month-old. that s only type of name, the president should be having on his twitter feed at midnight the night before, you know, he s coming to meet with victims and first responders. like the idea that he s going to make a joke about beto s hispanic background, you know, after this murder targeting hispanics? it s just he has no he has no capability of doing the minimum that s needed to be done at a time like this. tim miller, gop strategist, former deputy communications director for the rnc. thank you for your time as we continue to watch these protests play out in dayton, ohio, while the president son the ground the visiting hoft hospital whe visiting hospital where a number of the victims were treated. when the president leaves the buckeye state, is he going to head to el paso, texas, where a number of folks in that community aren t exactly rolling out the welcome mat. several politicians have publicly asked the president not to come blaming his divisive rhetoric and language for contributing to the shooting that left 22 people dead. david stout is el paso s county commissioner. alexandra eye nel low alexandra is a member of the city council. both do not support the president s visit. the times have published an open letter to the president writing in part, we all want the same thing. we want our country to prosper. that s not different from your goal for america, but for many of us, our parents were born in mexico, we do not tell them or anyone to go back to their country. america is our country. we are home. how is the president going to be received by the community there in el paso when he lands just a few hours from now? i mean, not well, right? you know, make no mistake the people who were killed in our community last weekend were killed because of the color of their skin and they were killed because of the rhetoric from the president. and our community knows that. he has put our community at risk since he was elected and it escalated on saturday. and so our community is angry. they ve come together, today we are celebrating us. but we are aware of what s happening. commissioner, why don t you support the president s trip to your city today? well, for many of the same reasons. you know, i think that we still have this gaping wound in this community and this would be just throwing salt in that wound. regardless of what happened here on saturday, you know, the people in this community have been vilified and demonized throughout the trump presidency. he has tweeted about invasion. he has questioned the credibility of a federal judge just because of the fact that he has mexican heritage. you know, and he has has, you know, at this rally the other day asked about what we can do with immigrants and when somebody yelled out shoot them he laughed at that. you know, that s not something that, you know, is that we need to be accepting of here in el paso. commission, he let me play devil s advocate for just a moment here. because one of the roles historically one of the roles of the president is consoler and chief when terrible things happen in our country, the president of the united states is the one that is supposed to bring us together. unite us. make us feel better. console us. does the president deserve any level of appreciation for his attempt at playing the role? well, you know, i think this incident is very distinct from most others because the perpetrator of these crimes, you know, the language that he used in the manifesto that he wrote tracked very closely what the president and his supporters have been have been saying in the rhetoric that they have been using over the last number of years. and so i find it he have difficult for somebody to try to come in and console a community that he has done nothing but spew hate about. and incite hate towards. so i don t i don t understand why trump thinks it s a good idea to be coming to el paso. you know, i mean, these people are in mourning, we re in pain, and really if he wants to do something, if he wants to support this community, he ll continue to denounce white supremacy and racism and hatred, but he ll take action and send us resources immediately and then start taking action when it comes to changing some of the laws in this country. councilwoman, on another note our jacob soboroff just mentioned this. i want to follow up because the president had the texas tribune is reporting that the trump campaign still owes more than half a million dollars to the city of el paso for that february rally. have you heard anything from the campaign about that bill? no, absolutely not. the trump campaign has not reached out in any way. and i think, you know, when we say that the trump campaign owes the city of el paso, it s important to pinpoint who that is. it s the health department, police, fire, it is the people who have been working endlessly since saturday who are now being asked to jump on board with the protection of the president. you know, yesterday we had a conversation about making sure when he mental health services for all of our first responders. i think it s a little selfish of him to now ask these same people to work even harder for him when she haven t even had a chance to mourn with their community. commissioner, i do want to ask you a question. i just asked you re wearing a jersey. is there a story behind the jersey that you re wearing?

booker s main message was that there s a current and historical connection between gun violence and the rise in white supremacy. he uses very solemn backdrop to strike a very serious tone and really focus on that connection and focusing on gun violence. he said that in this period of time in dealing with white supremacy it s not a question of who is or isn t racist but whether who is or isn t doing something about it. so for senator booker, that means gun control. and aggressive gun control, going beyond what you normally here, which is the ban on assault weapons or the ban on high capacity magazines and establishing a federal gun loansi licensing program and limiting the a. guns a person can by to one gun per person per month. he says this is an issue of national security and he wants to denote vote the resources dealing with it. shaq, i spent some time with the pastor of mother emanuel a couple months ago on the fourth anniversary of that terrorist attack there. and we talked about how that church is hallow ground. it was hallowed ground before the shoot aing and arguably is even more so now. was there any concern about a political speech in a place like that? yeah, you know, cory booker had a feline hline in his speecd i kent can t separate myself from the office that i m running from, but i m not here to ask for your vote, i m here to ask for a collective sense of resolve in the say chur resolve. this is a church that has historical significance. he s been seen as dealing with slavery and also racism. that s why cory booker chose this location. i also will say pastor manning produced cory booker. he said welcomed him to this church. we ve seen other 2020 candidates come here. we saw kamala harris. we saw john hickenlooper and congressman beto o rourke come here and pay their respects and talk to people and have conversations before. it s a center that s become a campaign stop here in south carolina with that historical significance. shaq brufter in frothere in r emanuel. joe biden is taking on the president later in a speech we re told. give us a preview of what we re going to hear from mr. biden. as you remember when the vice president announced his candidacy in april the first words out of his mouth were charlottesville. he talked about this election as a battle for the soul of america. what we can expect to see today is doubling down on that message. talking about how president trump in his words has aligned himself with the darkest forces in this country and that has made winning that battle for the heart and soul of this nation even harder. according to excerpts that have been released ahead of his remarks this yoof noon, we can see the vice president drawing a direct line between the president s rhetoric and what we saw motivating the el paso shooter. biden will say how far is it from trump saying this is an invasion to the shooter in el paso declaring his attack is a response to hispanic invasion of texas? not far at all in the both clear language and in code, this president has fanned the flames of white supremacy. that s what the vice president will say here today. now, it s hard to imagine this already that it s already been a week, craig, since we were in detroit and the democrats were really sparring with one another in that debate there. but this is a political moment for joe biden where his campaign feels he s at his strongest. when he can make the stakes of the election very clear to voters and talk about that contrast with the president, talk about how he wants to take the fight to president trump and he believes he s the most electable candidate. what we can also expect to see by campaign advisers is some discussion about the epidemic of gun violence as well. joe biden saying that he is the only candidate in this race who has taken on the nra and won. and did he that in that 1994 crime bill that has been the source of criticism from other democrats. big thanks to both of you. we continue to keep a very close eye on the ground in dayton, ohio where president trump is meeting with first responders and victims right now. he s currently visiting a hospital. this is the scene not far from that hospital in the oregon district of dayton, ohio, where nine people were massacred over the weekend and more than two dozen others hurt. on the other side of this break, what we usually hear from presidents in moments like these and what we are likely to hear from this one. e are likely to hr from this one. right now president trump is inside a dayton, ohio, hospital, speaking with survivors of the shooting there that left nine people dead this weekend. he s speaking with their families, first responders and hospital staff as well. that s the scene on the left side of your screen. on the right side, protesters in dayton who gathered to greet the president. i want to bring in jon meacham, pulitzer prize winning presidential historian. his latest book is songs of america, co-wrote that book with tim mcgraw. also with me, brian costello, republican from pennsylvania. mr. meacham, we ve talked this hour and in the past as well about the role of the president as consoler-in-chief. the president is going to be trying to play that role in two cities today. if the past is any indication, jon meacham, what do you suspect we ll hear from the president? i suspect we ll hear at least out of his mouth fairly wrote, fairly routine words of attempted comfort and reassurance. i think you saw the real donald trump in what he tweeted this morning, attacking congressman o rourke. where we are right now is we have a president who has abdicated the genuine efficacy of the role of what franklin roosevelt called the presidency as a place preeminently of moral leadership. i think what you re seeing today which is fascinating, senator booker and vice president biden filling that vacuum. there is people can argue it s, quote, just symbolic as flannery o connor said, if the eucharist is just symbolic, then to hell with it. symbols matter, moments like this matter. the action you do on the policy front matters. i think on all those scores this is not a partisan point, on all those scores this president has come up short again and again. congressman, as we watch these protesters in dayton, ohio. if you were advising this president ahead of this speech, what would you tell the president to say to the people of dayton, to the people of el paso, texas? i would say focus on what you need to do, what legislation you re willing to sign to improve public safety across this country. most specifically sign a red flag law. senator graham spoke about a bill he s going to bring forward in the senate and sign the toomey-manchin universal background check bill. this moment is going to come and go, the grief, the sorrow, the tragedy. what will come of it? will there be lessons learned? i think most americans want to see action taken. if the president is going to lean forward and say i m going to take these affirmative steps to make our community safer, leaving aside some of his rhetoric which i think even his supporters acknowledge can be problematic for him, that s what i think the american public wants to see. jon, i was in charleston, south carolina more than four years ago when president obama spoke in the wake of that terrorist attack at mother emanuel church. i want to remind folks what president obama said in the wake of that shooting. here is part of it. amazing grace how sweet the sound there s a man singing amazing grace to the country in the wake of a mass shooting. when you compare president obama s response to these horrible acts of violence, whether charleston, sandy hook, and then you compare this president s response, jon, this current president is incapable of it, or is it that he s unwilling to do it? i don t know. he s self-evidently not willing to do it. so capability becomes a second question. he just it doesn t interest him, i suppose. i was shocked, honestly, watching the speech the other morning with vice president pence. people made this comment, but it did feel like a hostage video, as if the establishment had come in and said, you have to be a human being here, so get through this as quickly as possible. we re on two different planets with obama and trump. it s fascinating isn t it that historically and culturally that trump rose to his current political prominence by suggesting incorrectly and repeatedly that barack obama had not been born in the united states and was, therefore, an illegitimate president. so you have this racist theme that helped fuel the rise of this particular president. that s a fascinating connection, because we now see and i know senator booker talked about it, and i know vice president biden is going to talk about it. we have this argument sometimes, and you saw it in charleston, that this is not who we are. the hell it s not who we are. of course it is. it s who we are on our worst day. the role of a president and the role of every citizen, of you and me and everybody else, is to try to heed those better angels that lincoln talked about, and we re not going to do it all the time, and bad things are going to happen. no piece of legislation, with due respect to the congressman, is going to solve that.

not who has authorized the deployment of the country s armed forces to help combat fires raging in the amazon rain forest this comes amid a growing international outcry over the blazes that threatens a huge trade deal french president emmanuel in my cong said the fires were an international crisis and vowed to block a trade agreement between the european union and south american countries over brazil s lack of action. activists gathered in the french resort town of be at. it s ahead of this weekend s g. 7 summit described global poverty as another kind of fire threatening the world the meeting of the globe s richest nations promises to be challenging in addition to brazil s wildfires g 7 leaders will consider a range of hot button issues including migration u.s. iran relations and

china if the u.s. with a fresh round of tariffs on american goods and after the feds jerome powell didn t respond the way trump wanted him to. some worries they can t drink away french bent nerves are anxious over donald trump s threat to slap levies on their wine. a historic free trade deal between the e.u. and the worthless or blocking they go up in flames as pressure mounts on brazil over the wildfires of raging in the amazon. basin of the w. business i m joined now in berlin welcome now this may surprise you but china s earlier unveiling of a new round of retaliatory tariffs on about $75000000000.00 worth of u.s. goods at an angry response from president donald trump he s an entire tariffs on chinese goods starting its. tambour that s after an earlier tweet storm accusing china of costing the us trillions of dollars he also said u.s. companies were quote here by order to immediately start looking for an alternative to china now just as a reminder the latest round of tariffs from beijing was a response to washington s last move to tax an additional $300000000000.00 worth of chinese goods taking effect on september 1st and december 15th which has now been increased to 15 percent from 10. yes carter joins us now from wall street younes when trump says that american companies should look for alternatives to china apart from shifting manufacturing back to the u.s. what does that even mean. well i mean clearly the u.s. president can force the u.s. corporations to move their business away from china about to it clearly marks an escalation point in the trade relations between china and the u.s. and after the market closed here on wall street u.s. president donald trump announced that he is going to increase tariffs on chinese imports and investors on wall street clearly got to call it on the wrong foot and then specially shortly before the weekend nobody really wanted to have too much risk in the market before the weekend and we saw quite a sell off here on wall street at some point. by about 800 points by the end of the day blue chips were off by a good 600 points and that marks the 4th consecutive week of losses here on wall street. a fast moving story right before the weekend we can all relate but stick around because there s more to get through and to another target of trump s ayer us federal reserve chairman jerome powell has been under pressure from the president to slash the interest rate soon apollo has given little and the occasion of any change to interest rate policy in his speech to the u.s. central banks will gathering in jackson hole wyoming here he is walking with outgoing bank of england governor mark carney after delivering his remarks the world s most powerful central banker said the u.s. economy continued to perform well but he did note the risks linked to its trade war with china and said monetary policy alone cannot fix all the potential economic fallout from it. and we re back with course to on wall street now again what is wall street expecting now with regard to future rate cuts jerome paul as expected stood not to mention that we are going to see another interest rate cut anytime soon you said that he s going to he and his fellow. members of the federal reserve are going to close the observed the developments and then act accordingly but the bets on wall street are crystal clear investors here see 100 percent chance that we will see another rate cut at the next meeting mid september and chances for another rate cut in october stand more than 70 percent of wall street is convinced the world see those rate cuts and they ve actually calmed the market a little bit before we got this storm from a u.s. president donald trump. card to they re with us on wall street thank you very much . and returning to the topic of tariffs at this time from the us on french wine wine is france s 2nd biggest export the us is by far its biggest market and last year it imported 3600000000 dollars worth of the stuff washington has threatened to flop flop he would levies on it a move which would place serious pressure on vintner s across products. at the end of the summer trimming the vines of their excess leaves is one of the last tasks wine makers face. after that it s wait for the harvest this year vindu pierre thomas thinks his bordeaux could turn out fairly well. on media zeman so far the year has gone smoothly. it s only august the wine harvest is in early october so we have a bit of time before we know for sure. 11 you know so i m. less predictable is what will happen to sales especially to the united states after president trump said he would slap a huge import tax on french wines of thread pierre s brother in law is taking seriously the family has worked the vineyards here for 3 generations and he says every penny counts. i think he was already that s his character. but i hope he is not serious. if he really was the customs duties of french wines really i don t know if we will be able to make any money on the wines we exported to the united states. any. given. in some time in young and some $2400000.00 cases of wine are produced every year mind making here goes back to roman times the region was even declared a unesco world heritage site the finest vintages always find a buyer but wine merchant maxine peake says meat market producers will suffer. or die points they might survive it and new markets will come i mean if it s done they re going to us they will go to another place is when you re de best in something you would already have them and so that s i my opinion not a big problem for the main production it s going to be a huge issue yes and that means wine makers like pierre and his family for them politics add another layer of uncertainty to a laborious production process a process that is already being threatened by extreme weather that most scientists put down to climate change nationally for hector s of our vines froze this year and it can hail any time before the harvest there are many weather patterns we just can t predict it. pierre and his family are confident the french president will stand up for them i think g. 7 summit whether or not he wins the political battle could affect wine lovers all around the world. french president. has promised that this year s summit of g 7 leaders and bar it s full focus on the fight against inequality it s a tall order given that the g. 7 been talking about this issue for years now with little to show for it at least that s what she s 7 critics say. ahead of the summit the organization set out 7 key issues it says the g 7 was act upon. for years oxfam activists have shown up at g 7 summits to protest against social inequality. this time around and berets is no exception to the g 7 countries oxfam says have to get their act together. the protesters demands include increased climate protection more funding for education and health fair tax systems and gender equality because we need to show that there is a difference between the acts of all the. prisons here in derry it s the reality. there is a lot of speeches very interesting all the warts are there but the act not and we need to tell them that it s time to be brave time to be great time to act against inequalities time to act against poverty. some of these points like the one concerning gender equality came up in talks on friday between among the president of g 7 host country france and n.g.o.s representatives but several protests calling for an end to empty promises are still slated to take place on the sidelines of the so much. the free trade deal between the e.u. and south american bloc marcus or took 20 years to negotiate was finalized in june but now it s on shaky ground france and ireland say brazil has were nega on environmental commitments in the deal and they will block it as a result that s amid an international outcry over wildfires raging in the amazon. the amazon fires may be an environmental disaster but they are being found by the country s crippling recession. populus president gyre bazza narrow is using his country s economic plight as an excuse to allow corporate interests free rein in the wilderness under both the narrow deforestation has accelerated white swathes of the rain forest have been cut down for timber or even worse burns down to make room for cattle for soybeans or to be developed by mining companies there are rich reserves of copper in the area a treasure trove for a populous president many experts say the dire economic situation and much of the country has enabled by the narrow to implement his agenda. there wasn t by easing we have a country an economic recession and this kind of thing is happening and dizzy the father has under the tree house saying it s illegally done by people invading areas that shouldn t be ok pyatt but. both scenarios planned on wednesday that environmental groups are responsible for the fires without evidence when pressed for evidence he said it was simply his feeling the fires are strongly suspected to result from the recent intensification of deforestation in the amazon brazil has seen an 84 percent increase in far as far as this here more than half in the amazon region. that s it for me and the business team here in berlin for more business news and features check out d.w. dot com slash

political correctness. it s available now wherever you get your podcasts. i hope you will join me as we aim to maybe rewrite, find a path in this world of modern rules. i hand you off to my friend and colleague back in action, katy tur. teddy says hi and misses you. tell him i said hey. thanks, stef. good afternoon. it s 11:00 a.m. out west and 2:00 p.m. in washington where we re live on capitol hill. just a few minutes away president trump faces a number of difficult headlines that all told paints a complicated picture for his 2020 prospects including a slew of new national polls that show the president s approval below 40%. economic anxiety appears to be the main factor for those low numbers, but the president doesn t want you to believe those numbers and frankly why should he? national polls did not predict the eventual outcome of 2016. so let us instead consider what s happening in two key states. first north carolina, where the republican won yesterday s special election in the ninth district. the last election of the 2018 mid terms. president trump won this district by 12 in 2016. republican dan bishop won yesterday by just two. so why? as the associated press notes, republicans were weak in the when you have diabetes, suburbs. but the president is not worried dietary choices are crucial to help manage blood sugar, at all. but it can be difficult to find a balanced solution. i want to congratulate dan try great-tasting boost glucose control. bishop last night on an the patented blend of protein, fat, and carbs incredible win. is part of a balanced formula dan was 17 points behind three that s clinically shown to help manage blood sugar levels. weeks ago. the media thought he was going in fact, it provides 60% more protein to lose. dan campaigned brilliantly and than the leading diabetes nutrition shake so we re very happy about that. that s a tremendous win for the and contains only 1 carb choice. enjoy the balanced nutrition of boost glucose control republican party. there s another silver lining as part of a healthy diet. for democrats. the cook political report identifies more than 30 gop-held house seats that are less friendly to republicans than north carolina s ninth. including one in texas where five republicans announced their retirement from congress in beenevidence that could foresha something colossal to come. new polling out of texas shows a number of 2020 democrats either beat the president outright or are within the margin of error. a democrat has not won a statewide race in texas in 25 years. which leads us to our big question today. what do the results of the last election of 2018 and 2019 tell us about 2020? alternate headline, what have i missed? joining me phil rucker, politico s senior writer and msnbc contributor jake sherman and associated press white house reporter jonathan lamere. phil and jonathan are msnbc political analysts. phil, so what have i missed? what s been going on? you left right around the time robert mueller was finishing the russian investigation, the investigation about a project i worked on for is over, donald trump still the msnbc called the american swamp president and he s still tweeting. if you look at what s been with jacob and i during a going on, a pretty good succinct four-week run we covered a number of news stories centered answer, what do you think is happening in terms of his low around president trump and whether or not he has used his role as commander in chief to approval rating and the fact that 2020 democrats are beating drain the swamp or line the him in a place like texas in terms of polling? pockets of himself and his yeah. it s a troubling moment for him family. since our show wrapped the as he looks ahead to the president has found himself at the center of another round of re-election campaign. this was a tough summer for controversies that raise the su president trump. i saw you tweeted about it. there were a number of hold the g7 at doral. all sorts of questions might be controversies. there was self-sabotage. even his advisors will privately admit this was not a good raised about its legality. stretch as he tried to lay a foundation for the re-election doral is struggling financially campaign. he s trying to get back on track, going to be bringing in a and would helped by the bookings. then there is turnberry the new national security adviser obviously and get something done president s resort in scotland. we learned air force crews with congress but the time for stayed at the retreat on at that seems to be running out as the campaign heats up and the least four occasions despite democrats according to virtually every poll we see are beating being cheaper accommodations him. is it caused by donald trump? yes, and no. elsewhere. another controversial involves i think people are sick of being in congress when donald trump is is unpredictable, not only unpredictable but not doing the vice president and his stay at a trump hotel. things that have broad 180 miles away in dublin. bipartisan support, gun control, immigration reform. trump denied involvement in the decision, likewise he knows he i think that s an element not only in texas but across the country. claims he knows nothing about also, i think that across the the air force s turnberry stay. board you re seeing the the oversight committee plans to republican coalition change. investigate. joining me my american swamp you re seeing it become a go co-host jacob, and democratic from a suburban party to a more congresswoman jackie speier member of the oversight and ex-urban and rural party. that s what we saw in north armed services committee. carolina yesterday, in texas and dallas and houston and san jacob, we spent so much time on this and looking into these antonio, across the country and issues, we went to the hotel it becomes difficult as a down the street here, we went to republican to win in those districts that have typically made up the republican donald trump s hotel in new york coalition. on the flip side, democrats city, we went to mar-a-lago. are back and republicans are back, talk of impeachment, more the fact that this is still democrats are now for impeachment than they were before the recess. going on ha does that say to how much does that potentially you? welcome back. i know you probably missed me hurt in frontline democratic house members who maybe won since we walked around and their election by a small margin terrorized everybody together. in 2018? ask a lot of democrats who good to see you back here. you read a laundry list of potential conflicts of interest you have today. of the president of the united my sense is democrats can t get states. is there any question that on the same page whether they re impeaching the president or not. every democratic leader saying donald trump is profiting off something different. the fact remains the one thing we have to look at is, nancy the presidency at this point? it s hard to make the case that pelosi has not moved one he is not. that press conference that he had famously with the stack of centimeter when it comes to papers we talked about the american swamp these are all the impeachment. things i m going to untangle and she says privately she does not believe the country is ready for divest. it. it s important to listen to her he just simply hasn t done those because she controls these. things and you don t have to we ll ask jamie in just a look very hard to figure that moment. jonathan to you, the white out. i think there s a much more house the president said, important conversation to have as well, though, is he violating gave a big congratulations the republican in north carolina but the constitutional oath he took anybody behind the scenes looking at that margin and when he stood at the building behind you, was sworn in as the thinking oh? first of all, welcome back. thanks. and i thought that phil did a president of the united states? is he violating the uemoluments nice job succinctly summarizing the summer, he left out he clause of the constitution? is he putting foreign money in tried to buy greenland, tried to buy. but otherwise, i think his pocket by profiting from those hotels and his other yesterday s result is sort of properties? that answer is quite possibly. both sides can look at it. we don t know because there is such a lack of transparency as the democrats cut into the we reported in our series. republicans margins in that district in north carolina. i think that is something that he gets to volunteer a number he they were going to spin as what supposedly is donating to the happened in 2018 where they had treasury he has made from momentum. the president can claim victory foreign governments. it s that, the idea that donald as he did in the oval office. trump is draining washington, i was there for his rally in d.c., of the lobbyists he said north carolina monday night. he was going to, when praising they re quick to suggest that the nra after receiving $30 the president carried the republican candidate over the million from campaign finance finish line and got a win. system that is legalized bribery had they lost by any margin it would have been seen as deeply and money laundering. plenty of stuff to talk about. troubling to give up a seat that if the simple question is donald republicans have controlled for trump drained the swamp or is decades. but yeah, there are real warning profiting off the presidency we know the answer to that one. signs. congresswoman, why is it labor day has passed and 15 or so months out and this is a president who has more than so any more transparency anything built his case for where he s making his money? re-election on a strong economy why is that allowed to be and there is a lot of signs that hidden. it shouldn t be. that is slowing down if not and that s why we re trying to perhaps to a full-fledged get his tax returns for starters. recession, but enough of a stall there s a reason he s adamant that could undermine his about not sharing his tax argument and suddenly leave him returns when every other to running a campaign strictly presidential candidate has done so for 10 to 20 years. on divisive and cultural issues. we had a number of those this summer as well from the attacks the emoluments clause is very clear in the constitution. he can receive nothing from foreign dignitaries or from foreign states without the on baltimore and elijah cummings consent of congress. and those four democratic women that also applies to domestic of color that in many ways was the defining moment of the summer. within the white house this revolving door, john bolton was emoluments. there s never been a resolution that et come before the house kicked out yesterday, does that have any effect on voters? , you know, i m not sure. asking for our consent to receive the money. he received at the trump hotel in washington. i don t think the internal debates over some of these every time he goes to mar-a-lago, every time, it s $3 policy issues like the afghanistan peace talks are million in just the fuel and the really top of mind for voters, use of air force one and then but to the extent voters have a over the course of three months, picture of an administration in constant turmoil, constant chaos with dysfunction as the over $50,000 in electric golf operating principle inside the cart that were used by secret white house that is damaging potentially, especially with some of these swing voters, service and other security suburban voters in the place that jake was talking about that forces to observe him making a trump really needs to win. what about members of fool of himself on the golf course. congress when they see that doesn t include the amount of money the secret there s no love loss between a service or others used to rent lot of members of congress and john bolton. some aren t sad to see him go. space in trump tower, doesn t but those people will still say, include vice president pence s still, the instability within state at a hotel that cost the white house is concerning. taxpayers nearly $600,000 according to state department what does that do here? well, i think a few things. receipts. when you re looking at this as a i think number one, there s no member of oversight and armed services, but a member of when you ayin and yang to oversight, where do you begin? this presidency. where do you try to make on the other side nothing to pull it back towards center. inroads? you do so by asking for all there s a cascade of administration officials who are leaving and breeds uncertainty of the claims that were filed. because i think members of congress want to see a process, when she stonewall. when they stonewall you want to not be surprised. subpoena. i mean, game over with allowing members of congress hate being him to stonewall us on issues surprised and they re always surprised by this white house that are so fundamental. except for the few people that this is something the american people get. they might not understand how the president is taking advice from, the last person he has heard before he makes one of grave the russian intervention was in our election, but they do these big decisions. what s the strategy going forward? understand that people who are it s fall 2019. what s he going to be doing in elected should not be making the looking ahead to 2020? money off of the fact that i think first of all there s not much of a legislative they re serving the taxpayers of this country. agenda. holding the g7 at doral. there s a hope to get the new oh, come on. you know, he s becoming the nafta pushed through congress, travel agent for the g7. the usmca, the president banking on that. and furthermore the only people around him are looking for some sort of resolution to properties he wants to promote are his. the chinese trade war, which has i imagine if this was really dragged down the economy president obama doing it, your and perhaps the president s republican colleagues would be up in arms. why aren t they up in arms for re-election chances. the rally schedule is about to this president? pick up. they re afraid. he is about to gear up and begin is that what it comes down this re-election campaign. they still think that they can to. absolutely. if they cross him he will tweet compete in a couple states he lost in 2016, but that seems storm them out of office. sort of unlikely. that s what this is all about. i think you ll see him mostly all about self-preservation for focus on those trio of midwest my republican colleagues. rust belt states that we all jacob, what s next? know so well. that s my question. believing that, you know, now that s a question i have for the that his name is going about congresswoman, what s taking so to be on the ballot again his long? if it s so evident the president base can turn out and the trick for them will be, if they have is violating the emoluments shed independence and some clause or the constitution, democrats who voted for barack doing it since day one, why isn t more being done? obama in 2008 did not want to why do we have to sit and wait for the tax returns? vote for income 20hillary clint the president has said he s making money off foreign 2016, the campaign says they can governments, turning over what pick up new voters who didn t he claims is the extent to the vote in 2016, we ll see if they treasury? why can t anything else be done can. thank you very much. at this point? we appreciate it. the house judiciary according to internal documents at donald trump s committee set to vote on international hotel in new york, the saudis fought hotel. impeachment tomorrow sort of. technically voting on a resolution on investigative procedures. the black a few years ago. if that passes it clears the way they were in the red. for house democrats to then the saudis put them in the black consider impeachment, at least according to documents from that according to house judiciary chairman jerry nadler. hotel. that brings me to jacob s we have been involved for the last several months, the question, if he has violated the judiciary committee has been involved in the last several emoluments clause, is months in an investigation of impeachment something to be looked into now? i think this becomes an the president s various easier play to the american misconducts to determine, among other things, whether to people in terms of impeachment. they understand when someone is recommend impeachment articles ripping them off as taxpayers. to the house. and what we re doing we ve and so i wouldn t be surprised been we ve been doing that if the judiciary committee consistently and what we re doing tomorrow is adopting starts to move down this road. meanwhile, we have inherent procedures enabling us to do it contempt. i am one of those that believes that rather than go through the more effectively. joining me now is maryland court system, which could take another year before we ever get the tax return, we can hold steve mnuchin the secretary of the treasury in contempt. democratic congressman jamie raskin, a member of the judiciary committee. we can hold wilbur ross in congressman, thank you so much for being here. delighted to be with you. contempt. in so doing, you come before the we ll put up on the screen what the investigative procedures will allow democrats to do once this vote goes on. but on the question of house and we can start fining them. there s nothing that moves impeachment, what s going on? is it happening, not happening? people more than starting to we re entering a new phase slap, you know, $25,000 a day where we re broadening outwards for not coming before congress from the mueller investigation to look at financial corruption, and testifying our oversight violations of the foreign and responsibility is very clear in domestic emoluments clauses, the the constitution. are those invitations out? well, i certainly would like clauses which say the president to see them out. cannot pocket payments from foreign princes, kings and but we ve never exercised our governments of any kind, whatever, as well as violations authority under inherent of the domestic emoluments contempt. it s something used in early clause which have really come into light over the last few 1900s through 1930 actually, and weeks with the revelations about the vice president s trip to i think we should resurrect it. ireland and 50 air force there is just such an obvious personnel staying at the effort to evade every effort president s resort in turnberry that we have undertaken to in scotland. investigate these very serious the president is not allowed issues. under the terms of article 2 to california congresswoman jackie speier, thank you so much get any payments other than his salary in office, and so when for being here. jacob, too bad you re not in payments are being directed either by the president or washington my friend. anybody else in the executive tell me about it. and new york congressman max branch to the president s own rods who served in afghanistan businesses, that violates the joins me to talk about today s emoluments clause. in other words, the president s 9/11 anniversary and the making money off of his job in nation s forever war. that is next. office. is violating the emoluments clause an impeachmentble offense? only according to the framers of the constitution. among the democrats working in this building behind me. we have to wrestle with the first president in american history who converted the presidency into an instrument of self-enrichment. we ve never seen anything like this before. he s mixed the personal business interests of donald trump and his family with the business of government. you re 100% right, but what are democrats going to do about it? there is some there s some division amongst the ranks? some will say we should go forward with impeachment, some will say take steps towards impeachment and others no, hold your horses, that is not a good idea. will the democrats be able to get on the same page? well, i don t know where we re going to end up but the media always wants to know what s the final destination. if i knew i would love to tell you. we re in an educational process. we re education ourselves about what constitution says and how bad the president turning the government into a for profit business. holding these investigations and talking about emoluments violation, profiting off the presidency, talking about a number of the other ethical issues that you have under your gei guise, are you holding impeachment hearings without calling them impeachment hearings? we re giving the public the information they need because we re a democracy and the people need to know the character of our rulers and government and public policy and where it s coming from. i ve always i ve said from the beginning of this, i favored impeachment investigation but where it leads we don t know because impeachment fundamentally in the final analysis is a question of law and politics. the legal part of it is, high character of deme democracy and our project and self-government. is it at that level. not low climbs and misdemeanors, but high crimes and misdemeanors. the political part, where is public sentiment and our leader nancy pelosi has been very emphatic and rightfully so about that. we ve got to see where people are because as politicians, we have we ve sworn an oath to uphold and defend the constitution and also sworn an oath to champion the public interests and see how this relates to everything we re doing with prescription drug reform and gun safety and the bills on mitch mcconnell s desk that he won t put to a vote in the senate. i watched this at home on maternity leave during mueller s testimony, did he do the democrats i guess a disservice by not saying in the democrats eyes saying the president committed a crime? if he said the president committed a crime would impeachment be on the table today? i went back and looked at the kenneth starr par and ken starr actually used the word impeachment multiple times and he was far more directed, i don t know that s not necessarily to say coordinated which the republicans on the hill but moving in that direction, and look, i think mueller was circumspect and he was measured in what he did. some parts of it seemed unnecessarily opaque and inscrutable to me. today marks 18 years since i think he should have been clearer about it. the 9/11 terrorist attacks. the reality this morning the nation paused you think he did do a again to remember the thousands of americans that were killed on disservice. that terrible day. what he ended up telling us in new york family and friends when he had his press conference and came to capitol hill the gathered as they do wbr id= wbr8800 /> every single reason they did not indict the year to read the names of the president of the united states dead at ground zero. for obstruction of justice the names of those who left for because of the department of work but never came back home. justice policy that doesn t allow them to. that is the reason they did not christopher newton carter. indict took place. what about sin knicks in nancy. my father john christopher washington cynics outside of washington /b> who look at washington and say, nobody here wants to do henwood. it s been 18 years and yesterday anything, nobody wants to get would have been your 27th anything done, they just want to pretend like they re getting wedding anniversary. something done and then just joining me democratic stay in power. what do you say to those who say congressman max rhodes on the to the democrats, hey, i don t homeland and veteran affairs think you really want to work with the president because if you do work with him on any committee. legislation, you give him a win that hurts your prospects heard thanks for having me so you most cynical you should go into the country and talk to people. just think about that moment when nancy pelosi and chuck schumer went to the white house with an infrastructure plan tailored to his demands and blew the whole things up in whatever represent staten island and parts of brooklyn and grew up in bay ridge. what does this mean to you and those you represent? you know, today is a solemn was bothering him that day. saying she committed a day. it s a painful, painful day. what we really remember are these unbelievable acts of heroism. folks whose stories aren t told nearly enough, racing into donald trump is the wbr-id= wbr9400 /> one that harm s way so we could be safe. thankfully we have continued to turns it off and on according to honor their legacy by doing things passing the victims the moment. we ve been there to work on compensation fund. as we see as kids are going off everything from transportation to infrastructure. to college who weren t even born we re sending them gun safety bills. he said the day after the on 9/11 it s more and more massacres took place in el paso important that we remember the and dayton, we do need to do a legacy of this day. cpre hen seinesive background we also remember what it was like in the immediate aftermath when we weren t thinking about check. let s see the republicans deliver for once. can they deliver on anything? divisions, we weren t thinking one final question, are you about which political party you re in. we were just thinking about the worried about what the these country and asking people on the street how are you doing, how is investigations, potential impeachment inquiry work do to your family? we ve lost that and have to get it back. we ve been in the longest war front line democrats who won by a small margin in 2018? i think all of the political signs are great for us that the in afghanistan since 2003. republicans are dropping off in droves every day another what lessons have we lerpd aarnd republican colleague said they ve seen enough and can t do you see a way out? certainly we ve learned that we can put al qaeda and global terrorist organizations on their heels. stand trying to defend the if you had said in the immediate inaction by the senate republicans and the chaos and the vagaries of this white aftermath of 9/11 that we would house. our freshmen democratic class is perhapses the best freshman have been attacked as few times as we have subsequently by democratic class anybody has seen in terms of delivery of jihadists people would have thought we were most likely lying. real public policy results to people in their districts and but what we cannot commit to at home every weekend and they were home over the last five or six this point is a continuation of weeks having town hall meetings. they re doing everything they this longest war that we have can to deliver on prescription ever had. drug reform, deliver on gun this has been in the news safety, the equality act, recently because of the president s announcement about environmental legislation. they re doing it. the cancellation of the meeting i love our freshmen. with the taliban, which was a you re not worried. horrible, horrible idea. we cannot use that horrible idea, though, as a justification, though, for another horrible idea, which is just staying there. we also can t make these incredibly large and grandiose i am not. jamie raskin thank you for being here. we appreciate it. thanks for having me. objectives in afghanistan such the freshman who flipped districts from red to blue, talking about them in 2018, are as them looking like a western they getting anything done and what do they think of working he democracy because we ll just be here? max rose here s to discuss the reality that our brave men and there forever. what is the solution? women could be fighting the war started after the 9/11 attacks, for what seems like forever. democrats put forth new gun two fold. one is some type of high-level reconciliation with the taliban control measures, will they ever that involves a power-sharing see a vote in the senate?

(classical music playing throughout) mitch mcconnell is here just a few moments ago, said the press conference with the mayor of dayton was thee at tricks. shame on him there were people who died. joining me democratic congressman hakeem jeffries chair of the democratic caucus and judiciary and budget committees. since mitch mcconnell said this is up to the president let s listen to what the president said about this a moment ago. we are working very hard together to see if we can come up with something acceptable to everybody. we re looking at background it has been nearly a year checks and putting everything together in a unified way so that we can have something that s meaningful at the same time all of us want to protect since democrats flipped 42 seats in the blue wave of the 2018 mid terms. two joining me now, occupied by our great second amendment. california democratic congresswoman katie hill and new it s very important to all of jersey democratic congresswoman us. mikey cheryl. thank you for being here. we are now in meetings. thank you. it s been a year. what s it been like? the meetings will go on tonight. the longest shortest year i will speak with them tomorrow. ever. that s how i see it. i think progress is being made. yeah. that s a good sometimes i we re looking at background tell people, oh, it s only been checks, we re having meetings, a year. feels like decades. who is we? i have no idea. yeah. can you get things done here? the president needs to put people look at washington and they thing, oh, god, it s just behind talking the talk, it s time to walk the walk. gridlock and no one is really 10,000 or so americans have lost working in my interests. is it possible to get things their lives this year as a done? possible to get things result of gun violence. done? i think what happens is the the house acted in february, things that are getting done passed universal criminal background legislation. we need to close the gun show aren t usually headline makers? loophole, close the internet exactly. loophole, close the private there s such a focus on the transaction loophole. the overwhelming majority of the president and nonimpeachment but every single day we re passing american people, including republicans, independents and gun owners, support universal something. we ve made major strides in the victim s compensation fund, legislation. the senate republicans need to witch you just heard about from act. the president needs to put his our colleague. weight behind the legislation to move forward. within the nda, there are really when he says we, he s not having any meetings with important wins that are creating democrats? well, it s not my robust jobs. we both serve on the armed understanding he s had any communication. at the end of the day, the services together. what about infrastructure, american people have spoken as it relates to how she feel on gun control, health care, those issues which are so near and th they feel on this issue. dear to the american voter, house democratic candidates defeated 18 nra backed candidates. infrastructure, potholes in the now what about separate and coequal as a branch of street, bridges collapsing government does mitch mcconnell not understand? what is leading who here? hopefully not collapsing schools, et cetera. those are so frustrating. is it mitch mcconnell leading we re passing bills to make the president or the president leading mitch mcconnell? may be an example of a people s lives better but the diversionary tactic where one large issues that could move the side tries to put the blame on the other because neither of them have the courage to act. economy forward, two of our that s shameful. you re talking about the gun biggest infrastructure projects which had funning. lobby and defeating those who which had funding. are backed by the gun lobby. and the portal bridge is fully is that what s at issue here, funded. the transportation simply won t the nra pouring money into politics or is it those single move forward on that. issue voters who will vote on gun control as their only and it s striking. that was the one area when this priority, not gun control, vote president was elected to office against gun control as their i thought maybe we can move only priority? well, reasonable gun safety forward on some infrastructure because that s so important to north jersey. measures is something that the and the fact that we haven t, american people we believe the fact that we still haven t widely support. been able to start, start work, and this is not a democratic issue or a republican issue. this is not a partisan issue. to get shovels in the ground on it s an issue that relates to the most infrastructure project the well being of the american if the nation is really troubling. what is the block? people. innocent folks are being i feel very strongly the massacred, not in afghanistan, not in baghdad, but on american block is in the senate. we have sent so many bills that have passed with bipartisan streets. what s stopping this from happening then? support and people across t bt senate inaction. why is the senate not acting? i think the voters want it and their constituents, why do you think mitch mcconnell is not acting? that s a question more are stuck on mitch mcconnell s desk. and at the end of the day, what it s going to take to change appropriately directed at moscow mitch. if he would like to come on that is the people moving we would love to have him. politicians. i was talking to one of i many senate republicans are don t are colleagues, ken bunk behaving as if they are holy of colorado, republican of owned subsidiaries of the gun colorado about why congress doesn t function better. and he said one of the reasons lobby. that s quite unfortunate. the nra clear ly has indicated is because lawmakers welcome gridlock. if they re in gridlock and nothing is acceptable to them as it relates to reasonable gun they re not passing things, they re not angering special safety measures, even though the supreme court in the heller interests, not angering donors. decision and in an opinion i don t think it s that authored by justice scalia of all people, has made clear that they re not angering special pursuant to the constitution, interests. i think there are people in the house of representatives that feel they re doing their job if reasonable gun safety measures are lawful. they re fighting people in the new gun measures, gun safety other party. and i would argue that when we measures, were passed out of your committee and it was a come to this gridlock, when strictly partisan party line we re simply fighting each vote. was there anything you could have put into that bill or taken other, we re not fighting for out of that bill in order to get the american people and i think that s what some of the freshmen have really brought to congress some of your colleagues from in this congress. it s just this idea that, no, acro across the aisle to sign on? it s not enough for the house to the universal background check legislation was pass democratic issues. bipartisan. we hope when we move legislation it doesn t matter if we can t to the floor related to red flag get those through the senate, if we can t get them signed by the measures and/or hate crime president. so we ve been working very hard prevention measures, and/or dealing with the high-capacity to find partners across the magazine clips, we can get some aisle and develop what i call that muscle memory of working republican support on the floor of the house of representatives. across the aisle. i know of you don t want to what about mansion/toomey? talk about impeachment but i m the house and senate are part fw going to ask. of a legislative process and at does it put you two in a tough, the end of the day i think we recognize that we should try to find common ground with the uncomfortable position because you won your districts from such other side of the capital, but we do need a partner and right a small margin? i can only speak for myself now because mitch mcconnell is but i think the biggest frustration that i ve had is obstructing, missing in action, with us not being able to or hiding in the closet afraid of the nra, take your choice, consistent li there is no partner. consistently say the only vote that is ultimately going to congressman, thank you so matter is whether we vote to much for coming on. impeach him. and when all is said and done, thank you. up next, new revelations if articles of impeachment are about the cost of the vp s stay recommended by the judiciary committee, then we re going to at a trump resort in ireland and have to decide whether we, as individual members on behalf of democrats demand answers on our districts and based on our potential self-dealing. beliefs, think that we need to jackie speier of the house oversight committee joins me next. impeach. until then these calculations are meaningless. let s continue to focus on the things that matter. i couldn t agree more on focusing on the things that matter. we re all on various committees of jurisdiction and i believe deeply in congress s oversight responsibilities and i know the committees of jurisdiction are working through those. but there s also the responsibilities we have on the house armed services committee or the money that we want to authorize that the president is now moving. ladies, it s wonderful to have you. i want to have you on again soon and talk about more specific issues. i appreciate your candor on what it s been like to be here for the first time. one more thing next and it gets personal, very personal. for you to get your windshield fixed. teacher: let s turn in your science papers. tech vo: this teacher always puts her students first. student: i did mine on volcanoes. teacher: you did?! oh, i can t wait to read it. tech vo: so when she had auto glass damage. she chose safelite. with safelite, she could see exactly when we d be there. teacher: you must be pascal. tech: yes ma am. tech vo: saving her time. [honk, honk] kids: bye! tech vo: .so she can save the science project. kids: whoa! kids vo: safelite repair, safelite replace one more thing before we go. as you ve noticed, today is my first day back from maternity leave, which is either my first day back to work or the first day off from my other job i ve been doing for the last five months, caring for my newborn. i want to tell what you it was like for me. i have a point to make. i had an unplanned c-section, which made it impossible to sit up without help and almost impossible to breast feed. my cut became infected. my son was born small and in the few days after he got even smaller. it was fine so much as he gained it back, which meant that he needed to eat and eat and eat and eat, which was not so easy, not only because of the c-section but because breast cancer is not the grab-and-go ready-make meal you think it is. at one point in the hospital i was so tired, i started to live a waking dream. i thought my mother-in-law was under the bed, i thought a tall man was standing beside me speaking german. i told the nurses thinking they would chuckle and instead they sent in a full psychiatric team to evaluate me. i am fully sane. one of the nurses pulled me aside when my husband was in the bathroom and said don t worry, he knows what he s doing. you can lean on him. and he did. that first month when i was still recovering from major surgery, exhausted and in pain, adjusting to myself, tony there was changing diapers, bringing me food and letting me nap. then he was back at work and it was all me. and, yes, i figured it out. and nothing about this story is exceptional, except for the fact that i got a lot more paid time off to figure it out than the majority of new moms in this country. and tony took more time than at least 70% of fathers out there and that is insane. it is insane that 25% of women go back to work after two weeks. two weeks. and i thisnk it s insane that seven out of ten men go back after ten days or less. not because they want to go back. almost nobody wants to go back to work that soon but because they are forced to go back either because they are can t afford to stay home for they feel societal or professional pressure to prove they are serious about their job. parents need time with their parents p parents. babies need time with their parents. moms need support. and if that support is coming from a partner, that partner should get equal time off, paid time off. emphasis on paid. family leave supports babies, which supports us all. the people who work in that building on the hill behind me talk about figuring it out but for some reason it still has not gotten done, hasn t even gotten a vote and that is shameful. if any lawmakers want to come on to talk about it, if ivanka trump wants to come on to talk about it, there will be a seat right here. i m katy tur. it is great to have you back. this is low-hanging fruit, paid leave for parents. will make people want to do their jobs more, we re in a 3.7%

translator: in total, it s about 79. the constitution says the census must count everyone so that means noncitizens, too. as we head into the 2020 elections, can americans trust the system? or is the swamp too deep? that s a challenge in parts of drain the swamp! the country like this. where there s a fear of the government, a fear that only increased since president trump took office. what are the people so worried about? translator: because the i never thought in elementary school growing up families here are mixed. some of them may not have their learning about elections in documents. america that one day i would be some were born here. talking about the world s so you re giving your addresses, greatest democracy, vietnam. you re giving your personal vietnam has the best voter turnout. information, where you live. so i think that could be they put us to shame. intimidating to the community. vietnam, dominica, uruguay, malta, seychelles, ecuador, turkey, then on page, basically at the end, it s the united states. keep going. while it s always been hard to get an accurate census count here in south texas, activists keep turning the page. like martha and maria say 2020 the united states is could have been devastating. between that s because the trump administration wanted to add a bosnia, herzegovina, and question we have not asked since 1950. singapore. bottom line, is we have some problems. is this person a citizen of the united states? it s a question that career census officials have said could lead to a huge undercount in communities already living in fear of even the most routine contacts with the government, not to mention possible deportation. america is the most renowned democracy on the planet. i know families every day, a government that is supposed to they give blessing to the family members because they really be for and by the people. don t know if somebody s going to come back, they re going to be stopped by the constable, by the border patrol, by the police and, yet, so many of us take a pass on exercising our most department. fundamental right of all, all these departments can stop a voting. family for a blinking light, for a little more than half of the a wrong turn and the family can people in this country who can vote bother to show up at the end up being deported. polls, even when the stakes are highest, in a presidential election. and that s the reality of in non-presidential years, life here and the idea that the turnout is much worse. census bureau becomes another one of those agencies. so what s wrong with our democracy? u.s. commerce secretary wilbur as we head into the 2020 ross who oversees the census elections, that question couldn t be more urgent. voter turnout as well as trust bureau says the question was in the election system itself could play a huge role in deciding who becomes our next president. requested by the justice department to help enforce the voting rights act of 1965. voting rights activists weren t drain the swamp. buying that explanation. more than a dozen states filed lawsuits to block the question, with our most basic saying it was a blatant attempt democratic process in crisis, to give republicans an advantage katy and i are wading back into by undercounting traditionally the swamp to see just how deep democratic communities. it goes. from allegations of a rigged the case eventually made it all the way to the docket of the system, to alleged election supreme court. around the same time, fraud if you re confident that you won, don t you want to call for another election? congressional democrats called a hearing to demand answers from ross. sir, why won t you answer any questions? to the folks who think the swamp in washington, d.c., runs thank you very much. ross stuck to his story. doj sought census block level citizenship data for use in voting rights act enforcement. and supporters like try to find out what we re doing wrong. republican representative james excuse me. are you a delegate? what country are you from? comer of kentucky argue the citizenship question is necessary. every working taxpaying uruguay. you re the third highest voter citizen should want to know how turnout in the world. many people are living in the 97%. united states. 97%. why? your tax dollars go to things to build infrastructure, to do things like pay for education, pay for law enforcement. australia also has compulsory we need to know how many people voting. are living here. people who work, career professionals, within the census and a voter turnout rate almost bureau, have already said that during the last census in 2010, 1.5 million african-american and twice as high as ours. latino people were undercounted how does it feel to have better by the census and this will only voter turnout than the greatest democracy in the world? increase that number. well, i think a lot of people look at the u.s. and wonder why you have that system. so why do you support it? where are you from? denmark. oh, please, talk to us. oh, my. i believe that every american is supposed to fill out the such an honor. census. you do a great job. i believe that we should know if are you from sierra leone? people that fill out the census you re 18th place in the world. you know what our turnout is? no. 122nd place in the world. are citizens or not. whoa. why? people ask me all the time, when you re talking about the wall, which is a huge subject. why are we i m talking we all learn, even in about the census, sir. listen. listen. when we re talking about the wall, people say, how many kindergarten, to try to learn children in making decisions. illegals are here? i don t know. there you go. nobody knows. we can take a census every decade and hopefully we can yeah, because our elections determine how many illegals are are on tuesday. here. yes. what days are your elections? and the census isn t going to say go out and hunt out people on saturday. go figure. if you were to give us advice, what would it be? that are here illegally or not. that s misinformation. start from the young ones. the democrats are trying to use so start with this guy? start, yes. scare tactics and play the race are we a democracy? card. and let me say this. i m not so sure. it s not just minorities. wow. there are people in my district, they don t like filling out the wow. census. they don t like the government knowing their business, but it s important to know how many andy! hi. people are living in the united states. as the debate in congress u.n. elections consultant continued, a bombshell dropped andrew reynolds helped organize shattering the trump elections in countries around the world. according to reynolds, america s administration s entire explanation for adding the citizenship question. voting problems aren t exactly a secret. after you. thank you. when you re overseas helping set dahlia lithwick, senior up democracies, say this is the editor and legal correspondent way they do things in america, for slate has been following using america as examples, are the census story from the start. you met with pushback, why should we listen to what happens when i sat in that house oversight committee hearing and in america? many times. listened to wilbur ross saying the reason they wanted to put and people are sort of angered census was because of the voting that the u.s. would come and tell them what to do. rights act, at the time it are we just giant hypocrites when it comes to democracy that seemed very suspicious and it we re able to go around the turned out that there was good world and set up democracies, reasonor that. yeah. i mean, it was beyond suspicious. yet ours is sort of in shambles it was audacious becaus at home? the real challenge of all the a trump administration that has expertise in the u.s. is to take not done anything in any other it to other places and to offer context to enforce the voting rights act. they treated it as though it s an inconvenience. choices and options and don t do the notion that suddenly there s some of the things we do but this burning need to protect copy some of the good things. would it help if more of us minority voting in america from turned out to vote? absolutely. this administration. but people turn out when they it s not only short of feel invested in the process, paradoxical in light of how they they think it makes a difference. treated minority voting, it s and they have access to voting. also just a flat-out lie. with another election around the corner, the questions about that lie was exposed when gop our electoral system are more critical than ever. the majority of people in strategist tom hallford died and this country abide by the rules of this democracy, they pay his daughter discovered taxes, but they don t participate. documents among his private they don t have a say and they choose not to have a say. possessions. his daughter finds these zip well, that is the question. do they choose not to have a drive with information that say? shows he had engineered this as i think most people feel like their votes don t matter but what does that mean? a plan explicitly to suppress minority votes. does it mean they don t have faith in the elected leaders that come here to washington, d.c.? in the files, he calculated a so much alike in the republican, democratic party, their lives never change no matter who s citizenship question would help representing them? republicans in the redistricting process by discouraging hispanic communities from responding to or is it people have legitimate the seine cuss. he even drafted talking points gripes about systemic abuses to support his argument. getting to the polls? some of those same points were voter suppression. later used by the justice department in an official letter they don t believe the electoral college, think russia asserting why the citizenship interfered in the question. question was needed. so the biggest question is how does it get better? if i knew, we d have 100% voter participation by now. let s figure it out. it s right there and quite literally they are scooping up language that he had used. so, boom, suddenly we have kind in north carolina, people of a smoking gun. have good reason to think their votes don t matter. with a looming july 1st that s because even though there deadline to print the census questionnaires, voter rights was an election for congress advocates presented the documents in a last-minute in 2018, it took halmost a year filing before the supreme court. they re getting ready to print this thing and then the supreme court weighs in. to fill the seat. what happened? it s a rigged system, folks. it s a rigged system. it s a rigged system. it s a rigged election. since the 2016 campaign, so there are four solid votes donald trump has been promising to say this is absolutely fine. wilbur ross did nothing wrong. to drain the swamp of what he claims is rampant voter fraud on john roberts who writes the the part of the democrats. majority opinion, he says, i don t believe him, he s lying. but here in north carolina, it s the republicans who are accused of election fraud. he doesn t use the word, he s mr. elias. how are you, sir? how are you feeling? lying, but he essentially says i believe the reasons given are on the morning we arrived, pretextual. poll workers were getting ready i have no problem in principle with what he was trying to do. to testify at a hearing to see but the way it went down makes if a new congressional election me feel kind of queasy, so he should be called. was this a fraudulent election? we ll have to see, won t we? what do you think? there s new political drama sides with the liberals. in north carolina tonight. soon after, trump announced he was dropping the citizen question from the 2020 census. back in november of 2018, gop house candidate mark harris beat it s deeply regrettable, but it will not stop us from his democratic rival dan collecting the needed mccready by a razor-thin margin. but right away, allegations of information, and i think even in greater detail and more ballot tampering emerged. accurately. so basically, this whole thing while activists were successful in getting the is about whether or not this question blocked from the 2020 election was decided fraudulently. like a 900-vote margin in the campaign. census, lithwick warns it might not be a total victory. the sad part of the story is the harris campaign was that if the point of this was to terrorize hispanic voters into accused of illegally going door to door to collect mail-in not voting, the damage is done. ballots and altering them to whether or not that question help the republican ticket. appears on the census, what matters is you are in our sights and until it was sorted out, the and you should be afraid to congressional seat remained participate in this democracy. empty. is there evidence that harris we don t know yet how the knew about this? that s what we re trying to fallout from the census fight will affect the 2020 election, find out. but what if the government made it easier to vote? while jacob and i were talking, harris and his team two civil rights leaders have a took a break from the hearing. let s go that way. we wanted to get some answers straight from the source. novel idea to get more people to the polls. mr. harris, what do you have to say about the illegal ballot we call it the trump card. harvesting by people associated with your campaign? i handed it to him. did you know about it, mr. harris? did you know about the illegal ballot harvesting? you actually took his picture if you re confident that you won, don t you want to call for and you put it on there. another election? sir, why don t you answer any any comments doug? questions? harris declined to comment, yeah. only pay for what you need with liberty mutual. but we did speak to the only pay for what you need with liberty mutual. con liberty mutual solo pagas lo que necesitas. dallas woodhouse, executive director of the north carolina only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. republican party. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. even though he counted 22 cases of ballot tampering to favor republicans, he said mark harris was still in the lead. a lot of folks ask me why their dishwasher doesn t get everything clean. i tell them, it may be your detergent. so you still say that s why more dishwasher brands recommend cascade platinum. so you still say harris is dallas, if this was happening .with the soaking, scrubbing and rinsing built right in. on the other side exactly. for sparkling-clean dishes, the first time. it s interesting that you say that. cascade platinum. we constantly are hearing republicans say that democrats (make-a-wish volunteer) ok, he s coming,y) c mon c mon.ing! are engaged in voter fraud. there s almost never any evidence of that and right here, here we go. you re holding a board that has at least 22 cases of voter fraud in the state of north carolina.

i think there s a large portion of the population that doesn t feel that elections affect them and feel somewhat alienated from the political system and, therefore, they don t turn out to vote. you have another group of people that simply are too busy with life. you re talking about survival. yeah. they care about survival. they care about the children being able to go to school in a safe way. they care about jobs. they care about effectively having enough to eat. they don t care about donald trump. they don t care about russia. if anything that drives them away from politics because it s so much noise and so much negativity that it just leads many people to turn off. professor jones says it is possible to boost turnout among the historically disenfranchised. it just takes some work. and that is exactly the work if we measure the health of a democracy by how many people vote, then america is in serious voting rights advocates michelle trouble. houston is the biggest city in and brianna brown from the texas organizing project are doing. texas, but here in the suburb of what is the texas organizing project? bel-air, onlyabout one in four people is likely to vote. this has some of the lowest at election time we ran large voter participation in all the city like around 27% of people showed up here in the midterm election when they had a record turnout. hey, guys. scale voter programs. can i ask you a quick question? can i ask you a question? so we found 3 million people hi. of color who currently sit out are you a voter? elections who could be voting. do you vote? in 2018, we turned out over no, i ve never been. never in your life? 270,000 unlikely voters. that s a big number. do you guys vote? no. we run a highly intensive you don t? program. how come? we do a minimum of three knocks on the door. politics is a deep thing, i don t want to get into it. usually, at least three phone in this area, not many people vote and i m trying to calls. and on election day understand why. and on election it s going to be only one no, during early vote and election day. so, yes, if you made a vote, your vote. commitment to vote, we will continue to call you and knock on your door. i don t know. you don t feel like it makes a difference. exactly. just didn t get a chance basically you ask people um inspire people. because i got a restaurant we inspire people. business and i stuck in there to the polls. all the time. you have a restaurant business and you re stuck in the restaurant all the time. do you feel like the politics all joking aside, when it that goes on day to day, the comes to getting out the vote, things that we vote for, affect your life? yes. inspiration and voter engagement eventually, it will, but, like, are critical. but equally important, we need things take a lot of time. to remove the barriers that keep so many voters away from the polls. trying to convince people that voting is worth the time back in new york city, we met and effort is a challenge. with civil rights activists bill and martin luther king iii. and that s at least in part their fathers fought together to expand voting rights. because so many potential voters feel disconnected from the dad used to say that a process, especially when it voteless people is a powerless comes to the unique way we choose our president. people and one of the most important steps we can take is we are the popular vote! because of our electoral that short step to the ballot college system, we don t vote box. directly for the candidate. now the sons are continuing their legacy and are looking for instead, each state is assigned a solution to one of the a number of electoral votes obstacles many voters face. on martin luther king day 2017, based on its population. 4 days before donald trump s the candidate that gets 270 inauguration, the electoral votes wins. president-elect invited king and wachtel to trump tower. but is this really the best way to elect a president? they saw the meeting as a chance to pitch trump on what they believe is a novel idea. hello. hello. we said, mr. president, what are you open for business? we have here is an idea that s going to make it easier for all americans to vote. for you, we re never closed. presidents carter, president oh. clinton, president bush, have i m hoping that election night all said it s a great idea and guru, steve kornacki, might have you have the opportunity to some answers. prove that you can be bipartisan what s the point of electoral college? and do something for all that goes all the way back to americans. we call it the trump card. the founding of the country, right? i handed it to him. this idea that the interest of this looks like a picture of each state would be represented in an electoral college. a social security card with we saw for the second time in donald trump s picture on the front and the back. recent history in 2016, the 35 states require voters to show some form of i.d. at the person who won the electoral college was not the person who won the popular vote. polls, and their pitch is that why? every citizen had easy access to well, i mean, take a look at a free photo i.d. then more this map right here. people would be able to vote. right, for 2016. what you got, you got areas wit you actually took his picture and put it on there. he said populations, tend to be blue great idea. collar white voters. said, let me make it easy, this is a group you saw donald you own hotels. trump, he inspired huge turnout. as president, you re going to so it allowed clinton to win the own voting booths. you got to fill it with voters. popular vote nationally but for you re a businessman. you understand the practical trump to pick off a pennsylvania, a michigan, a common sense solution to getting wisconsin. people into voting booths and and you need those states along with florida. that is a photo i.d. you can lose the national so far, president trump popular vote in trump s case by hasn t turned king and wachtel s upward of 3 million votes but idea into action. because you had such a but, look, the reality is concentration of your type of voter in those places, that s that no one is really interested electoral vote rich. in trying to make it more that s 46. that s that s what made him convenient for people to vote. president. to get more people to the an nbc news/ the wall street journal poll shows 53% of polls, we ll need to do more to restore faith in a system that has left so many disenfranchised americans want to elect our president with a popular vote. and disillusioned. before he won the presidency, but sometimes, before you can donald trump was one of those people. build a better future, you need he called the electoral college to look back at our past. a disaster, but after his have you ever seen this picture victory? of your grandparents? a few minutes ago, my dad was explaining it to me. the electoral college is genius. it s genius. so you guys tell us about this picture. i m telling you, it s genius. sure. this is the group that went to the nobel peace prize in not surprisingly, several of december of 1964 and it s the 2020 democratic presidential basically the starting line of candidates would like to see the the civil rights movement. electoral college abolished. if we got rid of the electoral college, we d get a do you feel like looking back little bit closer to one person, one vote. on this photo and all that your if democrats think getting parents were trying to do that rid of the electoral college will give them an advantage in they would be happy with where we are today? or disappointed? frustrated? 2020 and beyond, steve warns they should think again. i think there are areas where it feels like it s this permanent thing that only helps republicans. you look and you see great things happening and i think my in 2012, the talk was it might mom and dad will be happy about help democrats. it. i m not at all convinced there s i think everyone who takes a a permanent long-term republican moment and looks at where we are advantage there. i wonder if our system works, and what is happening in our though. world should be very concerned we were talking with some folks at the u.n. from various at this particular moment and i countries and when we asked them believe dad and mom would be. about our politics, a lot of but they d be out there challenging us. them expressed total shock that for most of our history, we could have a candidate who wins the popular vote but america has struggled to live up doesn t win the election. to the ideal of a government for yeah. oh. welcome to u.s. politics. and by the people. but we, the people, have to do our part, too. democracy shouldn t be this complicated, right? we need to stay informed. and if we want more people to hold our elected officials accountable. participate, shouldn t we make it easier to vote? and, yes, vote. we re heading to washington, d.c., to ask a seemingly simple that will at least give us a chance to strengthen our question and it turns out even democracy and get out of the that is complicated, too. full disclosure. swamp. before i was a journalist, i was an election reform advocate. the question i always liked to ask first was, why do we vote on tuesday? next time on american swamp roads getting better or worse? i d say getting worse. quick question for you, the crumbling states of congressman. america. do you know why elections are held on tuesdays? fix the damn roads. i really ihould know the politics and potholes. why washington lo answer. i don t have a clue. so the gridlock is a welcome you can call my office. about why we vote on tuesday? thing for most lawmakers. congressman nunes. i m not sure. why are you looking at me? katy well, jacob knows. jacob is the expert on this. jacob, tell us. due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is because in 1845, we were an advised. agrarian society. it took a day or longer to get to the county seat to vote, a day to get back and you can t travel on sabbath, so tuesday was the only day. still today we vote on the tuesday after the first monday in november. just had an assault with injuries to the inmate. but it s not in the after an inmate is assaulted. the blood came out when his constitution. do you have any more obscure knowledge? that s not obscure. head struck the floor. the jail identifies a if i was elected on tuesday, keep it on tuesday. suspect. that s the problem. members in congress don t want he is a bully. to change the way they were elected. he likes to prey on the weak. but the violence doesn t stop there. he sucker punched me. maybe congressman king is kidding but every joke contains some truth. this ain t the first time you assaulted anybody. what is the evidence? the truth seems to be that those in power aren t too it s scary. invested making it any easier there are people over there for americans to vote. in some places, that can take an ugly turn. to get that story, we re headed to one of the biggest political battlegrounds past and present. they were pulling people over, they were stopping folks. it appeared to be a tactic to discourage folks and to particularly focus on the african-american community. what d we decide on the flyers again? uh, fifteen minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. i think we re gonna swap over to over seventy-five years of savings and service. what, we re just gonna swap over? yep. pump the breaks on this, swap it over to that. pump the breaks, and, uh, swap over? that s right. instead of all this that i ve already-? yeah. what are we gonna do with these? keep it at your desk, and save it for next time. geico. over 75 years of savings and service. i ve always loved and i m still going for my best, even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there s a better treatment than warfarin, i ll go for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. what s next? sharing my roots. don t stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don t take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis, the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. ask your doctor if eliquis is what s next for you. that s why more dishwasher brandsof folks ask me whthr recommend cascade platinum. .with the soaking, scrubbing and rinsing built right in. for sparkling-clean dishes, the first time. cascade platinum. most people think as a reliable phone company. but to businesses, we re a reliable partner. we keep companies ready for what s next.

(woman) when it comes to digital transformation. verizon keeps business ready. the debate over election reform is nothing new. and throughout our history, the struggle for voting rights has exposed disturbing truths about one of the most complicated issues in america. race. we will dramatize this whole situation and seek to arouse the conscience of the federal government by marching by the thousands on places of registration all over. in the 1960s civil rights icon martin luther king jr. led marches across the south demanding equal rights, including the end of legalized discrimination at the polls. latasha brown, co-founder of black voters matter, says it s a fight that continues today. you know, while i wasn t quite born during the civil rights movement, a lot of my work was really around continuation of that work. and what s really awkward and crazy to me is many of the stories that i heard that happened in the 60s, i m dealing with that now. so our work with black voters matter is to engage black voters who we feel have, particularly in the south, but throughout this country, you know, have been marginalized and there s all of these layers of voter suppression that we see ongoing. hello. hello, how are you? commissioner. latasha is introducing me to a colleague who says he personally experienced a harrowing episode of voter intimidation in southern georgia. in 2018, he borrowed a limousine from a funeral home to drive people to vote. let me just stop you there. that s pretty creative, info innovative. you went to the funeral home, you borrowed their limousines from the funeral home to take people in style to the polls. does it work? do people show up and get in those limousines? it worked. it worked. we were very successful. while he was driving people to the polls, roy said he had a run-in with state troopers. is it unusual to see state troopers in city center of cordell? most definitely. most definitely. right as the election is coming in. so they re present. they were pulling people over. they were stopping folks, asking for their driver s license. and so it appeared to be a tactic to really discourage folks and particularly to focus on the african-american community. royce was parked on the wrong side of the road when a state trooper approached him. the state trooper, he pulled up behind the car. i looked at him and said, you know what, i m sorry for being parked on the side of the road, if you give me a moment, i ll move the car. and he yelled at me. he said, no, you re not going to move anything, you re going to stand right there. he hit the radio and called backup and probably seven, eight, close to nine troopers showed up. a woman shot this cell phone video from down the street. two police and the rest of them state patrol. that s a crying shame, on one little person. if there was, like, a bank robbery in progress exactly. and then what? the commander instructed the guy that if he was going to give me a ticket to give me a ticket. if he wasn t, let s go. and? they give me a ticket and left. did you ever say, hey, look, i m just trying to drive people to the polls today. they was aware of what i was doing. i pulled up beside people and said, hey, let s go and vote today. no, i don t want to have to deal with the police. that s crazy, i m sorry to interrupt you, but that s crazy to me, that maybe it shouldn t be in the united states of america the first reaction to some folks before they go and vote is i hope i don t have to deal with the police. the georgia state patrol office said the trooper who gave the citation followed proper procedure and that he requested backup because there were so many bystanders on the street. we have to protect our democracy. this is a people issue. it s a citizenship issue. stacey abrams ran for governor of georgia that same year and lost by less than 55,000 votes. she believes that voter suppression and other tactics were at least partially to blame. do you think the vote was stolen from you, the election was stolen from you? i think the vote was stolen from the people of georgia. i don t know if empirically i would have won. but if you add together the thousands of people that faced extraordinarily long lines, who faced hurdles that should not happen in a democracy, the votes that we know were not counted, the secretary of state who was also my opponent in the race purged more than 1.4 million voters over basically an eight-year period. the opponent abrams is referring to is gop governor brian kemp. purging voters from the rolls is not illegal. in fact, the law that allowed kemp to do it was passed years ago by democrats as a way to remove people who had moved out of the state or died. but abrams says kemp s office purged voters in a way that disproportionately impacted african-americans. isn t there a law that defines how you get purged? but the aggressiveness and the fault in the database. people were purged who had not matched any of the criteria for being removed from the rolls. the voting rights act of 1965 is supposed to guard against racial discrimination at the polls, but in 2013 the supreme court decision in shelby county versus holder erased a key provision in the act and weakened those protections. shelby versus holder, do you think 2018 would be different if that court decision 2018 would have been different. 2016 would have been different. why? in the wake of the i vis ration of the voting rights act in shelby v. holder. georgia passed many laws. we saw poll closures and purging that were to longer governed and regulated because there was no oversight. abrams accused the georgia election board of racially motivated voter suppression tactics and took the fight to court. in the coming days we will be filing a major federal lawsuit against the state of georgia for the gross mismanagement of this election and to protect future elections from unconstitutional action. is there going to be a point in our history where we can say, we ve moved past those times? if it s 50 years later, are we not there yet? african-americans were denied humanity for the better part of 200 years and were denied agency for the long history of america except for the last 50 years. we cannot undo centuries of oppression and centuries of bad action with good intention and good will without actually putting in place laws to force our better angels. abrams lawsuit is still ongoing. while the georgia board of elections is fighting the allegations. while voting rights activists fight back against suppression tactics, it turns out there are all sorts of legal ways for lawmakers to pick and choose the voters they want to show up at the polls. to get that story, we need to get back to north carolina. we are walking up on the line, the gerrymandered district. in a second, we ll be in another district. actually, you re already in another district. oh. need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we ll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. (vo) thewith every attempt, strto free itself,pider s web. it only becomes more entangled. unaware that an exhilarating escape is just within reach. defy the laws of human nature. at the season of audi sales event. until i found out what itst it actually was.ed me. dust mite droppings! eeeeeww! dead skin cells! gross! so now, i grab my swiffer sweeper and heavy-duty dusters. duster extends to three feet to get all that gross stuff gotcha! and for that nasty dust on my floors, my sweeper s on it. the textured cloths grab and hold dirt and hair no matter where dust bunnies hide. no more heebie jeebies. phew. glad i stopped cleaning and started swiffering. quitting smoking is freaking hard.st, like quitting every monday hard. quitting feels so big. so, try making it smaller. and you ll be surprised at how easily starting small. .can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette billions of problems. morning breath? garlic breath? stinky breath? there s a therabreath for you. therabreath fresh breath oral rinse instantly fights all types of bad breath and works for 24 hours. so you can. breathe easy. there s therabreath at walmart. yeah. only pay for what you need with liberty mutual. only pay for what you need with liberty mutual. con liberty mutual solo pagas lo que necesitas. only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. there are reports of an attack at a synagogue in new york. initial reports are of a stabbing in munsey. new york city s counter terrorism unit says they are closely monitoring. we will keep you updated as we get more details. updated as we get more details you might think a state with an equal number of registered voters for each party would have an equal number of officials representing them in congress, but that is often not the case at all. take north carolina. even though voters in the state are split almost 50/50 in terms of their party affiliation, republicans hold 9 out of the 13 seats in congress. to understand why, jacob and i met with student leaders at north carolina a&t state university. they say their political power has been undercut by what s called gerrymandering. so we are walking up on the line, the gerrymandered district. so in a second we will be in another district. actually, you re already in another district. so if i m over here, i m in district 13. i m in district 6. wait a minute. hold on a second. hold on. so katy s in the 6th district. and me and you are chilling in the 13th. 13th. gerrymandering is tactic used by state politicians to draw up congressional districts to help one party win, and it s legal all across america. north carolina is one of the most gerrymandered states in the union. where is the actual dividing line? basically it s, like, where the sidewalk cracks. i would say that. so there has to be a good reason that the school has been split in half. they believe that the republican party is better for north carolina than the democratic party. who is they ? the folks who the state folks. the folks who did the drawing. the north carolina general assembly. before republicans redrew the map in 2016, the 10,000 students here were all in one voting district represented by a democrat. that meant students here at the nation s largest historically black college or university also known as an hbcu could have had the power to swing an election. so you think the legislature is purposefully dividing the largest hbcu in half in order to dilute the power of the student body? yes. what was the outcome of splitting the university in half? you got a republican and democrat now, who democrat two republicans. two republicans. yeah. we re represented by mark walkers and ted bud. jacob and i have been having this debate. what stops people from voting? is it things like voter suppression, is it too hard to vote, or is it voter apathy? or are they one in the same in some respects? i would say both. what would this country look like if everyone or the vast majority of people or even the majority went out and voted? i think it would look like a democracy and what it is supposed to look like in theory, which in theory a democracy is a participatory process where everyone is encouraged to participate. and, like, participating is accessible. right now, that s not the case. we asked to speak with republican representative david lewis who led the redrawing process for the current district map. in an email statement, lewis said dividing the campus, was not done intentionally and no one on the committee, either democrat or republican, realized that the campus was now split. it s not a coincidence that you see the greatest amount of extreme positions, inconsistent with what the people want, when you see the greatest amount of gerrymandering. former u.s. attorney general eric holder sees gerrymandering as a national emergency and a moral threat to our democracy. do you think gerrymandering is at the root of the problem for voting issues in this country? if gerrymandering was fixed, that we d have fairer elections? if gerrymandering were fixed, we would have fairer elections. you d also have policies put in place that were consistent with the desires of the people. you would have more say in gun laws, more say in efforts with regard to climate concerns. you d have better approaches to dealing with reproductive rights. it s not a coincidence that you see the greatest amount of extreme positions inconsistent with what the people want where you see the greatest amount of gerrymandering. i m here to end the practice of gerrymandering. shortly after the 2016 election, holder launched the national democratic redistricting committee which is working to ensure districts are drawn fairly. this isn t just about democrats getting more power. you think this is going to be fairer for everybody. that s a hard argument to convince people of that are not democrats, that are happy republicans. so, yes, you have to have democratic participation. in the same way, i d look at democratic-controlled states. what happened in maryland with the creation of the gerrymandered district that made republicans superfluous. that i think is equally wrong. now holder s job rtuled that partisan gerrymandering is legal and redistricting decisions should remain in the hands of state legislatures. we will be counted! and there s another battle threatening to impact every election in america from town council to the president of the united states. and this one has a twist straight out of the swamp. boom, suddenly we have kind of a smoking gun. as a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we ll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. and i approve this message. climate is the number one priority. i would declare a state of emergency on day one. congress has never passed an important climate bill, ever. this is a problem which continues to get worse. i ve spent a decade fighting and beating oil companies, stopping pipelines, stopping fossil fuel plants, ensuring clean energy across the country. how are we going to pull this country together? we take on the biggest challenge in history, we save the world and we do it together. i looitaly!avel. yaaaaass. with the united explorer card, i get rewarded wherever i go. going out for a bite. rewarded! going new places. rewarded! anytime. rewarded! getting more for getting away. rewarded! learn more at the explorer card dot com. and get. rewarded! liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. i wish i could shake your hand. granted. only pay for what you need. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. the way we vote for our representatives starts with a pretty simple question. how many people live in the united states? the census, which is taken every ten years, doesn t just count heads, it determines political power. if a state loses population, it loses seats in congress. and influence in the electoral college. a shift that could decide the next presidential election. there s a lot at stake as we gear up for 2020. and so far under the trump administration, the simple act of counting people hasn t been so simple. in fact, it is a swampy mess. i ve come to the rio grande valley in south texas to find out why. martha and maria are members of lupe, a non-profit community organization which conducts outreach to encourage latinos to respond to the census.
