aide to the george w. bush white house and state department, elise jordan. thank you guys for being here on this day of reverberations and reckonings. rick wilson, i want to start with you since we ended with you in that intro. the number of times we talked about trump seeming his mental state was worsening, his dementia was encroaching, that he lost his mind, lost his grip, we have been talking about this now for more than two years. but to a lot of people it seems worse beyond the adjectives and add verbs, what's the case for the notion that it is actually getting worse? >> i think there are interesting sort of verbal aphasias and gaps you're hearing in his speech patterns and way he's delivering he's various messages, particularly little press sprays where there's no teleprompter, nothing prepared and just off the cuff. i do think the underpinning theory of trump for a long time was he got this super clever multi dimensional chess game he's playing but there are no positive outcomes for any of these things he's doing and saying. but you would think somebody with presence of mind

, jordan fabian. and eliza collins. let's start with mike. hello to you. the president not backing down, throwing a veiled shade, personal attack atta lobe overnig overnight. >> reporter: it was more than veiled. he said the grandmother would be better off without a visit from the congresswoman. and then last night, talib in an emotional appearance before c constituents where she received a lot of support, she thanked them for that support. i am told now there are senior democrats in the house of representatives who are considering some measure, some measure of admonishment. his role in what a top democratdemocra democratic aide told me, dealing with talib's desire to visit her grandmother on the west bank. something she has not done in four or five years. talib outspoken about israel. israel said can you come and visit your grandmother if you are not critical of israel while you're here. if you do not speak of the boycott, congresswoman talib said no thanks i'm not going to do it under those conditions. meanwhi meanwhile, i talked about an ambassador connection, asking the state depart

fbi. jim jordan, house of representatives, now we know why comey didn't want to prosecute clinton. he didn't see a problem mishandling sensitive information. after clearing here, he did it too. whether or not james comey is culpable depends to be dependent on where you stand politically. >> for the last couple of years now, anytime you mention the name james comey it's a political football. each party has a distinct view of this man and whether he has conducted himself in the proper way as a public official. the report documents a lot of criticisms of comey even though it doesn't document anything that could be criminal or that rises to the level of the way trump has characterized it. it's not exactly a flattering report in terms of his behavior. one thing that's important to point out is that justice department officials reviewed this and decided not to prosecute comey. they did not find any criminal wrong doing here or anything that rises to the level of a crime. >> does this do anything to disrupt the president's narrative about james comey and the fbi? or is this more ammuniti

by peter rodino and showcase the hearings was a new member of congress barbara jordan of houston, texas. she actually inspired me to think about a future in politics. it was so important for me and my minority 13-year-old boy whose grandfather sat behind me. he sat behind me smoking his pipe, reading his japanese pulp fiction. and, you know, he had lost his wife's property during world war ii. and there are five green houses in bellview, washington, where a casualty of that great injustice. so the constitution was whole. it was complete. and she really captured my imagination and at stake here was a lesson. a civics lesson for all 13-year-olds, 12-year-olds. i just got an e-mail from someone who congratulated me for coming out and taking the stand. she watched -- she was 10 years old when she watched the hearings. so at stake today is a lesson for all young people that no person is above the law. obstruction of justice is a serious crime. especially when it's about obstructing a -- an investigation of great national import. >> that's what's interesting to hear you really lay it o

they lost. jordan on chon dough died protecting her baby. derrick fudge, his life ended in ohio with eight others. the 57-year-old died in his son's arms. >> that was blayne alexander reporting. >>> let's take a look at the other headlines this morning. in a new affidavit about the immigration raids in mississippi, it indicates that at least two of the seven employers broke the law. nearly 2/3 of the 680 people detained in the immigration raids remain in federal detention. >>> in tennessee, police are intensifying their search for an escaped inmate who allegedly killed an employee days ago. the escapee is still in the area they believe. they've increased the reward money for his capture. >>> a boy is recovering after a wind beach umbrella impaled him. he was rushed to the hospital. >> there was a large gash in his shoulder. by the time i got there, there was three or four people there. >> that incident in the boston area. various videos from past incidents show how dangerous flying beachum brel as can be. 2800 people were injured by umbrellas between 2010 and 2018. >> i don't know. y

11-year-old says her father was among those detained. jordan barns opened up his gym to children with nowhere to go. >> the kids should be the main priority. if we all put the kids first and do what we can to help them to make this less painful as possible for them. >> reporter: tonight this woman tells us her husband is among those still detained. she says she's been in the u.s. for 24 years. this church now a sanctuary for those in limbo like this 1-year-old girl. the priest tells us her mother is in custody. he's taking care of the baby as the father tries to find his wife. >> that's gabe gutierrez reporting tonight for nbc nightly news. after these mass raids that were launched yesterday while the president was in el paso, these mass arrests, the trump administration eventually released a few hundred of the people they had arrested and taken away. which of course raises the question as to whether they had any idea who they were arresting in the first place, why they swooped in and arrested those particular people in the first place, particularly when it's evident they had zer

jordan, of houston, texas, and she captured my imagination as a 13-year-old boy. she actually inspired me to think about a future in politics. and it was so important for me, a minority 13-year-old boy whose grandfather sat behind me, he sat behind me smoking his pipe reading his japanese pulp fiction. and, you know, he had lost his wife's property during world war ii because they were in internment camps, and their five greenhouses in bellevue, washington, were a casualty of that great injustice. so the constitution had failed him. but i saw before me a woman who declared that her faith in the constitution was whole. it was complete. and she really captured my imagination, and at stake here was a civics lesson for all 13-year-olds, 12-year-olds. i just got an email from someone who congratulated me for coming out and taking this stand. she was 10 years old when she watched those hearings. so at stake today is a lesson for all young people that no person is above the law, that obstruction of justice is a serious crime, especially when it's about obstructing an investigation of great na

president on the economy and those two we've actually heard from in the gop whether jim jordan or newt gingrich, not talking about the president's economic policy. they are falsely claiming other members of the media are cheering on a recession which is absolutely not the case. we are merely reporting there's data and statistics historically showing a recession could be in the future. so where is the gop? because they're not bullet proof. >> well, they've got a problem. first of all, as you suggest, stephanie, what people wish would happen or partisan dreams don't cause recessions. right? economic events cause recessions. secondly, i would not be as confident as ali in saying that the rules don't apply to donald trump. he has never experienced a day of a really bad economy and we've got a president who's had, as eli pointed out, has had historically low ratings despite the fact that the economy is really good. that is largely because people who like the economy especially more upscale, college educated types, don't like his behavior. don't like the values he expresses. if on the other

go a couple of years ago from jordan to visit the territory, occupied territory, and the israeli impeachmented him from going. and they prevented other people. but what this administration is doing is basically saying to the world the america we want is basically an america for white people, for people who are evangelical and christian and white people. israel has been doing that for a while. they even enshrine in laws discriminatory laws the nation state law, what does it say, that people like you, ali, like me, like ayman who are american first and foremost and then we can be muslim, sikh, whatever, they will define us always and see us through the prism of one thing. so we have -- they, which is our ethnicity, our religion, which is really a betrayal of the declaration of independence of israel. it talked about equal rights. when bibi netanyahu stand there saying arabs are arriving in droves and the congress give them basically a pass on bds and tell them no, no, no, we will condemn bds on your behalf, you're basically licensing him and giving him a pass to do what he did toda

jim jordan who's been critical of the russia investigation saying, look, this shows what his intentions were and said people are using that underneath -- i think what everyone's really waiting for next, and this may give us a window into that, is how the inspector general is going to come out with his findings, what he will say about the origins of the investigation. and then there is another investigation into that led by john durham out of connecticut about the origins of the russia investigation. and seeing how hard the inspector general was on comey here, it's hard to imagine that they would go any easier on people who decided to open that investigation. but, again, no criminal conduct here, no wrongdoing. and really, ali, we all know that there is a lot of confidential information that is shared in washington. that's how we make news. it's how we shine light on sometimes injustices or things that shouldn't be done. but it's not classified. and so it's really important to pull those thing as part. >> julia, thank you. it is always something you do for us. you make it all

, victoria, elise jordan, and congressman israel. guess what? i'm not letting you two leave yet. stick around. coming up president trump got his wish, a tax cut, an interest rate cut, and, still, the market tanked. what is going on today? well, no surprise. he's punching powell, jay powell the fed chair that he appointed.

. we've certainly heard from jim jordan, the lead republican on house judiciary saying this proved that comey was a bad guy. >> similar point being echoed by one of the president's own allies on capitol hill, lindsey graham. an official tweeting a short time ago that every american should thank donald trump for getting rid of, what he describes as the cancer on our democracy that was fbi director james comey. what's striking is you think about the relationship between comey and the president is it's really that relationship that was one of the key dominos as it related to the mueller investigation. remember that conversation between the president and lester holt when the president talked about the reasons for his firing comey. he said he was thinking about this russia thing at the time over the course over the last several years. the president attacked james comey as a liar and a leaker. on at least ten occasions he accused comey of leaking classified information. the ig report says there's no evidence this pertained to any classified information. some of the past president, president o

like congressman jim jordan, people critical of comey's decisions from the beginning, but i think we've also heard just on our air from former employees, people who worked with james comey who said they're conflicted because on one hand they think that he really did step out to make a lot of these matters very public maybe more public than they would have, they said it's charging someone with a speeding ticket on their way to put out a fire, this was a special circumstance that james comey believed he had conversations with the president that were so alarming that the american people needed to know about them and you can remember, he put out that information after he left the fbi. the inspector general says he should have given the information that went to the media, should have went to the inspector general or office of professional responsibility, other places he could have gone to be an internal whistle-blower rather than a leaker to the media, but it does seem in the end that you really have to put the context of the time in here and the fact that that information did eventual

children. her granddaughter says she was a very strong person. jordan and andrea were both killed. they were inside the walmart with their 2-month-old. their baby survived. 22 were killed in el paso. and then there came tragedy in dayton where nine people died. people like lois oglesby. she was the mother of two and had just been on maternity leave from school. she was studying to become a nurse. logan turner had just turned 30. the engineering student was out celebrating his recent birthday with his friends. nicholas cumer was 25. he was a grad student working towards a master's degree in cancer care. and he was interning for a dayton non-profit group that helps cancer survivors. those are just some of the victims of this weekend's shootings. of course to their families, their friends, their friends, they were so much more than that. we've had to do this too many times before, reflecting somberly on the circumstances that are laid before us. and among all the questions that we still have, it's a deeply painful one. if nothing changes, how soon will we have to do it again? every day, vi

undergoing life saving care can now be deported. aaron jordan and kaitlyn dickerson told the story of maria isabel bueso who came to this country at 7 years old at the request of american doctors in california who were conducting clinical trials for the treatment of her rare disease that i for one have never heard of. there's the full formal name of the disease on the screen, the professional shorthand for it is mps 6, it causes spinal cord compression and other growth abnormalities. isabel is now 24 years old. she has been participating in medical studies throughout her life in the united states. her doctor told rachel maddow tonight that he could not have done his life saving clinical research without her. he credits her with helping researchers with what he calls a dramatic breakthrough that has helped people with her disease live longer. they can now live longer than 30 years. they used to rarely survive past 20 years. isabel graduated summa cum laude from california state university and last week she received a letter saying if she doesn't leave the country within the next 33 days, she

lemire. former aide to george w. bush white house and state department, elise jordan and politics editor for "the root," jason johnson. so much to talk about. but let's start with what we just heard, the language according to mr. scaramucci is now so divisive. is it different now than it was in 2016? are we in a different place than we were for charlottesville? >> i think it's work looking back what happened during the 2017 campaign. there was a high percent of people recoiling at the president weighing in on racist issues when he questioned whether a judge overseeing the trump university case couldn't fairly hear the case because he was, quote, a mexican judge. in fact he was born in the united states. he had mexican descent. even at that point "the washington post" conducted a poll and asked people whether they felt the president's comments were in fact racist. in the summer of 2016, 42% of republicans thought the president's comments about judge curel were racist. of course, almost all of the them went on to vote for him as president. i think where this potentially changes is w

me is elise allen and phil rucker and jeff mason. elise jordan, there was a tweet from the president today, he was quoting from fox news from their morning hosts about how president george w. bush never came after president obama. president george w. bush also was really noteworthy when you were in the bush white house for the way he embraced the muslim community after 9/11 for his acumenicism, his understanding of the immigrant border situation coming from texas as he did. talk about the comparison between president trump and his predecessors. >> president trump should be careful what he encourages or invites, because by acting that way about president obama's comments, he's almost inviting president bush to step in and remind president trump that he in the aftermath of 9/11 encouraged americans to embrace diversity within the country, not to demonize the muslim community. to work together to combat extremism, that muslim allies were our partners in the fight against terror. and the message was the exact antithesis of what president trump espouses on a daily basis. if you listen to

republican congressman jim jordan, a tea partier wrote "now we know why comey didn't want to prosecute clinton. he didn't see a problem handling sensitive information after clearing her. he did it too. comey, like clinton thinks he's above the law." >> the lindsey graham quote, it's like something out of orwell. it's like precrime. with know what the crimes are going to be, right? >> oh really? >> you're going to see this and you're going to see that. comey is a difficult figure because a lot of people have problems with the way he handled the hillary clinton investigation, the july 2016 long statement. you know, the laundry list of awful things she did, but we're not going to prosecute the october surprise, and you know, so he's been going with his gut for a while. and he got a slap on the wrist for it. it was probably an appropriate slap on the wrist. i mean, i would have slapped him on the wrist for other things before this. and i do understand it is like he was speeding to put out a fire. you have the president of the united states committing obstruction of justice, basic
