we're going to help michigan. michigan's a great state. i've gotten tremendous business to go to michigan. michigan is one of the reasons i ran. i was honored as the man of the year in michigan at a big event, and i got up, and i remember so well, i spoke, probably five, six years before i even thought about running for president. >> jimmy: he remembers it so well, but there is no evidence that he was ever honored with an award like that of any kind. this has been investigated extensively and it would appear, and this you're not gonna believe. he made it up. he was never man of the year. but that doesn't mean he won't say he was every chance he gets! >> five or six years before i even thought about running for whatever reason, they named me man of the year in michigan. i said how come? i didn't even understand it myself. >> about ten years ago, i came to michigan. i was honored by a wonderful group. i was the man of the year. >> i don't know if you know this, but probably ten years ago i was honored. i was the man of the year by i think so

both from michigan. trump won michigan by less than a quarter of a percentage point in 2016. it was a very, very tight race, coming within about 10,000 votes there. cory coffin joins us from harrison township, michigan and you have with you debbie dingle glnch that is right. we want to bring in congress woman dingle to talk about the vote and the next stimulus relief package for michigan voters and residents because that is crucial for them and the timing on all of that. so thank you so much for joining us this morning with a very good morning to you. i want to jump right now. in 2016 you warned democrats that trump could win michigan and other rust belt seats. do you have a warning for democrats today. >> it is good to see you and welcome to michigan. i think -- i wish i could be there with you mask and all. i continue to worry. i think that joe biden is doing a good job in trying to connect with the voters. i think we're going to see different issues this year than we saw four years ago. it is going to be a covid-driven message, although one in four in michigan are without

michigan struggled to bend the curve, but michigan came through. the curve bent. now the question is whether michigan can stay out of the red zone. and the state has seen a few smaller waves since the worst of it this spring. there was the outbreak last month at harper's bar, the popular spot for michigan state university, which reopened to an unexpectedly large crowd on june 8th. local reporters found young patrons lining up less than six feet apart and then packing the dance floor like they would on an ordinary, nonpandemic night. no masks to see in that picture. state health officials later linked that bar to nearly 200 new infections. and today, michigan posted one of its higher totals of statewide new cases for the past couple of months, and that's concerning, especially because everywhere in the country right now, educators are trying to figure out how to get education going again. it's basically every state, and in some instances, every school district or even school for themselves. at michigan state in east lansing, they're exploring a combination strategy

what will it take to win michigan? for new insight this hour, we're there live. >>> and shut it down now. hundreds of prominent doctors calling a new national shutdown, saying it is in order to stop the spread of covid. is this too extreme, though? >>> and a new night of protests in portland. thousands sending a message about the presence of federal agents in their city. the unrest continuing at this hour. as we do say good morning, everybody. it is sunday, july 26. i'm kendis gibson at msnbc headquarters in new york. we're going to start with the breaking news on the west coast as it intensifies in portland. there were clashes in several cities across the country, and in at least one case turning deadly. this is what we have seen overnight in portland. you see once again the protesters, hundreds of them. the size of the crowd really immeasurable by some accounts. some of the crowds gathered overnight to try to get to that courthouse, that federal building that has been there. but it's not just portland that has had it

rural college town in michigan. the school district is the third largest player in that town has a 30% unemployment rate. once school districts start length people off, this will have a pounding effect on the economy. we saw this during the last recession, it could spark another recession. one of the things a lot of people are not thinking about holistically the roles that schools have. about 3.5 million teachers. in some cities -- cities, they are the largest employer. custodians,onals, administrators, afterschool care workers. there is a whole workforce around schools. there is a lot of focus on corporations and their survival. schools, they play an essential role in the economy. host: redford, michigan, a parent. kidsr: my great grand range from one-year-old to 39-year-old. asthma and various medical conditions going back to school. schools in michigan, a lot of them do not have air conditioning. the climate is hard for children to breathe. -- half theed that parents do not understand it. i think children should

[laughter] it is exciting to talk about clean energy, adding jobs, but transitions are hard. there are a lot of workers in the old industry, but not so clean industry. transition?ake the hillary clinton got into a lot of trouble by talking about what would happen to coal workers. how do you make that transition without driving people out of jobs? sen. stabenow: in michigan, we are already making that transition. we have some of the most clean energy jobs in the midwest. whether it is the auto industry making the transition or or w

when you -- you are already hearing from members of congress in michigan, saying michigan isn't. they're not -- there is no making sure that those states are put to bed before you expand the map is the more prudent step you're hearing from the biden campaign. of course you get pressure from places like texas, georgia, and biden's campaign manager worked for -- he knows texas. there is -- i'm sure at some point they'll be looking at that, there is a difference between a reschool per se and something that you know that you may actually be able to land. >> i would say that jackie would agree with me as ohioans you should focus on ohio so we can hang out in columbus more often, especially if there is football in the fall, please let there be football in the fall. >> a girl can dream. >> short on time. catherine, perry, jackie, thank you as always for hanging out, even remotely. we appreciate it. >>> up next, how john roberts navigated the most complicated and impactful supreme court terms in recent memory. if you have a garden you know, weeds are low down little scoundrels. draw the

to protect the public health of people in michigan, protesters swarmed the michigan capital carrying guns. some with swastikas, and a dark haired doll with a noose around its neck. are you aware they called for the governor to be lynched, shot and beheaded? >> no. >> you're not aware of that? >> i was not aware of that. >> major protests in michigan. you are the attorney general and you didn't know that the p protesters called for the governor to be lynched and beheaded. >> well, there are a lot of protests around the united states. and on june 1st, i was worried about the district of columbia, which is federal. >> in certain parts of the country, you are very aware with those, but when protesters with guns and swas taties. >> i am aware of -- >> excuse me. this is my time and i control it. but in michigan when protesters carried guns and confederate flags and swastikas and called for the governor of michigan to be beheaded and shot and lynched, somehow you are not aware of that. somehow you didn't know about it so you didn't send federal agents in to do to the president's supporters

michigan, 52-40. the president of the united states down 12 points in the blue collar industrial midwestern state that was one of the big surprises of 2016. arizona, florida and michigan all part of the president's map four years ago. why are voters thinking about change? because of his handling of this pandemic. the dots are clearly connected. in arizona, 35% approve of the president's performance dealing with the coronavirus. 6 in 10 arizonans say they disapprove. in florida, about the same, almost 4 in 10, 39% approve, 57% disapprove. in michigan, 36% approve, just shy of 6 in 10. 59% disapprove of how the president is handling the nation's giant challenge at the moment. the other big issue in the news in recent months, policing, race relations, racial inequality, the president under water in arizona, 35% approve, 59% disapprove. florida, pretty similar, 37, 57% disapprove. michigan, 47 approve, 59% disapprove. how does this affect the trump map? let's go back to 2016. remember the big surprise, th

barr -- >> the michigan authorities can handle -- the michigan authorities can handle -- >> -- not violate people's first amendment rights. you're supposed to secure equal justice under the law not violently dismantle certain protesters based on the president's personal agenda. >> congresswoman pramila jayapal joins us now. good morning, congresswoman. >> good morning, alisyn. >> let's talk first about the substance of what we learned yesterday and then we can get a little bit into the style. so attorney general barr said he didn't know the protesters in michigan called for the governor to be lynched. he didn't know that tear gas was used against the peaceful protests in lafayette square. he didn't know that president trump's tweets existed about michael flynn and roger stone and so what does that tell us about the attorney general? >> the single thing that emerges time after time after time is that bill barr has always been, is now and will always be the henchman for donald trump. he acts as donald trump's personal attorney to get things done. donald trump activates him when he needs some

. >>> and coming up next, michigan's attorney general joins us to talk about a lawsuit that michigan and five other states have filed against the secretary of education on the subject of education, and why they believe coronavirus relief funds earmarked for schools aren't being used where they're needed most. and i don't add up , but what i do count on... is boost high protein... and now, there's boost mobility... ...with key nutrients to help support... joints, muscles, and bones. try boost mobility, with added collagen.

we have an entity now in michigan that has a patented product. they worked with two universities, michigan and johns size of about the regular phone and it has a little receptacle at one end where you can put the fingerprint or saliva, and it measures three different antibodies that your body produces almost within a day or two of being exposed to covid. why does this work? because you can then link that to a cell phone. so whether you are going to a ballgame, to school, to work, whether you are going to the grocery store -- and it is less than $10. it was approved for the first round by the nih. it really does work, so they are now in phase two to see if they can produce and market it, which i think is the easiest part of it. you are going to be able to take this device soon, once it is produced, and be able to ensure your employees, colleagues, and friends that you have not been exposed and you are safe. the second step that is important -- remember, pfizer is my largest employer. they are on speed dial to produce a vaccine, yet to be approved,

what is the situation in michigan? secretary betsy devos is a fellow michigander, although a republican. what will happen in the school system, what should happen? sen. peters: what ultimately has to happen needs to be based on science, based on the advice we get from epidemiologists. clearly, all of us want to get back to the new normal, getting back to school is important, but we need to make sure that we do it safely. it is about that balancing act. as i mentioned, we are taking it day by day, how the virus is advancing through michigan. right now, it seems to be controlled, but we are concerned as the level of cases go up. of the to be very weary future but also understand that we want to get back to a normal, but we have to do it safe. david: finally, talking about sports in schools. my staff has informed me that beat theatholic other team in football. are you hoping to get sports back up and running so you can avenge that loss? sen. peters: [laughter] i love sports like everybody. as you know, michigan is a big s

this was in michigan, a rural college town in michigan. the school district there is the third largest employer. that town has a 30% unemployment rate. once school districts start laying people off, this will have a compounding effect on the economy. we saw this during the last recession. it could actually spark another recession. this is one of the things that i think a lot of people are not really thinking holistically about the roles that schools have. they are huge employers. they employ around 7 million .eople, 3.5 million teachers in some towns, they are the largest employer. not only teachers working in schools, professionals, custodians, administrators, afterschool care workers. there is a whole workforce around schools. focus ona lot of corporations and their survival. there is less focus on public schools but public schools play a very essential role in the economy. a parentnda, michigan, . how old are your kids? caller: they range from one-year-old to 39 years old. host: what is your concern for schools this fall? caller: my con

i was born and raised in michigan, i live in indiana now. i noticed that you talked about school starting in the fall. the newspapers, everybody is talking about school starting in the fall, and they have set dates for august 8. i'm thinking and i wonder what the congresswoman thinks, maybe if they wait a month, until after labor day, which is still not fall, they will know a little bit more about how to protect these children, because we are learning something new every day. i would like her opinion on that . i'm wondering why you say fall when it's not fall yet. thank you. i will get off and listen. host: thank you for the question and thank you for sticking with us and calling back. congresswoman? guest: thank you martha. i think school is a complicated issue. i spend a lot of time talking about it. the government came out with its initial recommendations yesterday for who should be in school. in conversation with my local school superintendent, the county superintendent and the state superintendent. i love kids. i could play with kids al

without additional federal funding for michigan's public schools, a typical school district in michigan is looking a $750 per pupil cut to our state's budget shortfall. the white house recently signed an executive order saying, we are going to look for the skills in an individual. how do you obtain the skills if you are not in a fully funded school? when first robotics doesn't exist. when the skills training doesn't exist. when the guidance counselors who are going to be there to shepherd our students through this trauma they endured cannot do their jobs. when we are cutting, cutting, cutting. and we say guess what? the federal taxpayer dollars that you pay, the state taxpayer dollars that you pay are not enough. who pays again? who pays again. it is the middle class. it is the individual. folks, i'm tired of it. i'm tired of the tax cuts for the wealthiest corporations at the expense of our middle class. i am here to deliver for my constituents. i am here to give them a return on their investment that they make every year. they are looking at us. and in fact, mr. speaker, this is somet

. >> joining me is the democratic governor of michigan gretchen whitmer. there was a time listening to the president today this is the monologue like he's the guy in the bar who just rambles to anybody who listens to the same story over and over and over again. we heard that so many times about governors or other people. i don't know if you listened to the president today because you're busy and he spoke for a long time and didn't say anything of particular import. what do you make of what you heard from him today? >> i didn't listen to the speech but i'll say this. we've got incredible challenges in this nation. we need to be banding together and yet we have inconsistent at best remarks from the white house when lives are on the line. we're seeing record numbers every single day coming out of states with regard to covid-19 cases and, you know, the acknowledgement so many lives have been lost and the pain, the economic pain we're feeling in this country. you know, it is really important that anyone with the leadership position is speaking to how we're goin

joining me now, senator peters from michigan. senator, how are things going in michigan at this point? >> in terms of covid, we were a very early hotspot. our state was hit extremely hard, particularly the city of detroit, the african-american community in our state showed record, really, pain in terms of the number of people impacted well above the population in our state. the governor did act very aggressively to shut down. we did bend the curve, and it has flattened. however, right now in the last few days we have seen an increase in those cases. you would expect some of that to occur, as you open up the economy, so we are keeping a very close eye on all of that, taking it day by day. the governor has also strengthened the mask order to make sure that folks are wearing masks when they go out into public. we know that really the very simple act of wearing a mask saves lives, and it's something we can all take individual responsibility to do. wear a mask, maintain social distancing. it's clear the virus is still out there. we ha

coming from michigan enterprises. it's been unbelievable having those conversations, located right in livonia, michigan, right where our district offices are located. i saw them shortly before we went into the shutdown. a u.a.w. run supplier company. they were making the p.p.e.'s. now we keep our fingers on the pulse of this manufacturing sector and we find a way, recognize that today is an incredibly stressful day not only because it's america's birthday coming up and we salute all our good men and women, our veterans, our current members of our armed forces, those who throughout our communities are going to safely engage in recognizing america's birthday. we're also going to recognize what july 1 is. which is, it's the new diof our competitive framework. usmca. the freshman class with so many of us came here to see done right. not for some, you know, bad action for the prescription drugs or anything along those lines but to say we're going to make things in america. we're going to increase buy american continent. we

michigan has been on the forefront. we have done an incredible amount of work and i would hate to think that the sacrifice that we have made is made in vain because some people are losing interest or dropping their guard. we have to double down more than ever. >> why are the young people at the party not getting the message that they're putting themselves at danger and their older relatives at danger? what's wrong in the messaging in michigan? >> well, we're trying to figure that out, alisyn. we know we have seen an increase in this age group in covid-19. perhaps it's the mixed messaging that's happened at the federal level. perhaps it's the fact that covid-19 doesn't have the same death rates amongst that age groups and maybe it's not taken as seriously. but the fact of the matter is, every one of those people can be carrying covid-19 and a lot of them might be without knowing it. that's the inherent danger. it's incumbent on every one of us to mask up, from the white house, to the state house, everywhere in between. w

and michigan, he is down 12. i mean, michigan may be approving to be out of reach this time around for donald trump. as you remember, it's one of those three critical so-called blue wall states from the upper midwest that donald trump just busted through in 2016 and helped deliver him to the oval office. >> those are all states that are on his must-win map, essentially, david chalian. look, i read a lot of polls and i know you read a lot of polls. it's not often that i see a question, not the results, but a question that jumps out to me as very interesting. we asked a question which was, which candidate do you trust to keep latin americaamericans saf found interesting and the results also very safe. >> we asked it in all three states that we polled. and what you find interesting, what does that mean to the voters? does it mean safe from the spread of coronavirus or safe from the threat of protesters on the streets of your city? but take a look at the results here. in arizona, this notion was tied between the cand

this was in adrian michigan which is a rural college town in michigan. the school district there is the third-largest employer, and that town has a 30% unemployment rate. and so once school districts start laying people off, this will have a compound in effect on the economy. innocence that could also -- they could in effect and resolve this in the last recession. it could spark another recession. this is one of the things a lot of people are not really thinking holistically about, the role of schools have picked their future employers. they employ around 7 million people, 3.5 million teachers. in some towns, in some cities in america they are the largest employer. not only teachers work in schools, , paraprofessionals, custodians, administrators, afterschool care workers, there's a whole workforce around schools. i think as this gentleman pointed out, there was a lot of focus right now on corporations and their survival. there is less focus on public schools but public schools are a very, they play a very, very central role in the economy. >> host: bren

michigan joe biden plus 6. plus 12 or plus 9 depending on which poll you believe over the past weekend, ohio is tied just like we saw. texas continues to be dead locked. georgia dead locked. florida, 51-46. i am noticing also that biden reaching the 50% threshold, something that politicians and retired politicians always look at. it's one thing to be ahead 42-38 with a lot of undecideds. biden crossing the threshold of 50% in several of these swing state polls. what's your take away? >> hey, good morning, joe. well, you know, i think we've got a picture here that continues the continuity that we've seen really for now the past two months, which is there's not a battle ground state of the six core battle ground states, there's not one. again, as always, reminding people the biden campaign and the trump campaign agree michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, north carolina, florida and arizona, those are the core six, there's not one of them that donald trump won in all of 2016 and he's behind in all of them now. there

in grosse pointe, michigan, the real estate board had a point system. so, if they were going to sell a home to somebody they had to rate them in a number of points before they committed to sell it -- african-americans got no points, jews got a couple, italians got not many more, and irish and white got more they can buy a home in grosse pointe, michigan. this became known in 1960. and the michigan real estate commission said they had to end the statement because it was violation of the constitution. the state legislature in michigan then passed a law overruling the real estate commission's policy. the governor of michigan then vetoed the state legislature's overruling of the real estate commission, and then the supreme court the state supreme court in , michigan got into the act and said the real estate commission had no authority over racial discrimination. this real estate commission, they can lift the license of a real estate agent if he is late alimony to his ex-wife but the supreme court of michigan says racial discrimination was not unethical, and

a new cbs poll shows joe biden leading donald trump by eight points in michigan. this is a state where trump held a rally on november 7th, 2016, the day before the election, and won that state by less than a quarter percent. in ohio, that poll shows biden trailing trump by just one percentage point. let's go to corey in michigan today, but as i say welcome to you, you were many ohio yesterday. so michigan today. do these new polls support what you've been hearing from the voters? >> you know, it's so interesting to hear the latest numbers come out. i think that the ohio poll best represents what i'm hearing today and it's in relation to the actual tight margin between the two candidates. most folks i've spoken with feel the same way. they feel it's going to be a tight race and many are still undecided. specifically here in michigan, this spot, i've spoken to mostly trump supporters and republicans ch there were a few democrats that didn't want to go on camera. many more people were undecided, but for them, the main issue is going to be the economy. take a listen t

many powerful citizens in michigan, as they get wind that these professors are going to not do their job for which they're paid that day, not teach their classes, deny the students the opportunity to proceed, they get a lot of pushback from this. and basically they're told, you do this, you could be fired. this is inappropriate. and it's not right to basically force your students not to be able to attend the class that they, you know, paid their money for. so the professors, again, untenured, no real job security, they kind of sit back, and they try to think this through, and they come up with an alternative plan. they compromise. they say, ok, ok, ok, we won't strike. we'll teach classes that day. fine, fine, fine. but after classes, at 8:00 p.m., can we have a room, a big room, an auditorium -- the university of michigan has some mammoth auditoriums, and let us use the p.a. system and the blackboard and the room. we don't disrupt anything. there's nothing scheduled. and let us have a teach-in. sit-ins from 1960, right? they kind of coin a phrase. we'll have a teach-in. and we'll br

caller: michigan. st. joseph, michigan. sorry about that. i apologize. caller: i think people need to stop using all of these communication.of we know that china and other to hacks are trying into things in our country. i think maybe we should shut a lot of them down. why do we need to communicate like that? i know the president does it to get information out because our newspapers -- a lot of it is not true what they are putting out there. there are other medias. there is c-span here that we can call in and view our opinion and get some truth. >> the concern is what if someone were to hack the president's account and tweet out a message saying i am declaring war on the country. -- >> i am vice president of the club and associated press u.s. video assignment manager. the killing of george floyd by 25ice in minneapolis on may black lives matter protest and renewed an urgent out cry for police reform. at the same time, our nation has stru

michigan has been one hot spot and in may, the state had to cancel a legislate session because of armed threats. i'm concerned the upcoming election will spark one or more violent attempts of the president has a reelection. i'm concerned there will be a shootout at one or more of the black lives matter protests. there are too many fans of these events into many groups with the same goal. you canan find those into the street to protect police businesses from antigua and enforcing matter against the police.ti adding the national guard and influence of agents, agitators and white supremacist groups along with the growing number of left-wing listings on guard, there's a potential straight war brewing militant groups of individuals willing to shoot, random police and protesters to get the waren started so they cn use chaos to accelerate their own plans for revolution. the groups will need a catalyst for big events, theyth need a wrinkle that can be the next big one. some will do what they have to to force this. thank you for your time. >> thank you for your testimony. we will now recognize m

watkins michigan. >> thanks for having this hearing. mid-michigan and the issue of extremism and hate groups instances and incidents with those hate groups has been on the rise and just very recently from the coronavirus lockdown we've had significant repeated protests in my district in lansing, michigan, protesting on all sides. protesting the lockdown that our governor is put in place but also protesting in response to the killing of george floyd and we've seen a fourfold increase in the state of michigan in the past year and a half in instances of hate whether it's graffiti, violence. one of the things that i'm is since theut lockdown started we have seen the presence of a number of groups, we have 27 hate groups that are present in the state of michigan and one of them that has been on the rise is the proud boys. wondering chief donahue if you could speak to this group in any way. top ofe putting signs on their cars, they are wearing vests that indicate proud boys. there's a discussion in the district about whether they are a hate g

in a city in michigan, there was a point system. if they were going to sell a home to someone, they had to have so many points. jews had a couple, italians not many more, irish not many more. this became known in 1960. the michigan real estate commission said they had to end that system because it was discriminatory. the state legislature in michigan then passed a law overruling the real estate commission's policy. the governor of michigan then vetoed the state legislature's overruling of the real estate commission. then the supreme court, the state supreme court of michigan, got into the act and it said the real estate commission had no authority over racial scrum and a. -- over racial discrimination. the supreme court of michigan said racial discrimination was not unethical and the commission had no jurisdiction over it. that is not de facto segregation. that is not private activity. this was a whole industry structured by government. taken wasld have lifting licenses. that would have been enough to prevent this from happening. th

this is in adrian michigan which is a little college town. the school district there is the third largest employer and that town has a 30 percent unemployment rate. so once school districts start laying people off, this will have a and hounding effect on the economy. and in a sense it could also in effect and we saw this during the last cerecession, it could spark another recession. this is one of the things i think a lot of people aren't really thinking holistic about the role that schools have area they are huge employers. they employ around 1 million people, 3 and a half million teachers and in some towns, some cities they are the largestemployer . not only teachers working in schools , paraprofessionals, custodians, administrators. after school care workers. there's a whole workforce around schools so i think this gentleman pointed out there is a lot of focus right now oncorporations and their survival . but there is less focus on public schools but public schools are, they play a very central role in the economy. >> brenda, redfordmichig

michigan says its public schools stand to lose $16 million because of this new rule how critical could it be for places like the public school you're standing in front of right now? >> already hemorrhaging millions of dollars, chris, schools like this one and in michigan and in states across the country, are in desperate need of a federal cash infusion. what this new rule does is the exact opposite it takes money that has already been allocated by congress under the cares act and diverts it to private schools, so michigan, one of the states that would be the hardest hit by this, is leading a lawsuit that is gaining traction with states and cities around the country, seeinging a preliminary injunction to stop this transfer of funds from public to private schools. i spoke with the superintendent here at dearborn public schools today about his district a district that has 70% of students who are on the free and reduced lunch program where he says the impact would be especially hard on these students studen studen students >> we have high at risk population where 73% free and reduced lunch

first, here is fred upton of michigan. often then not, congress is called upon to use its policymaking powers to solve problems, but the body is not designed to move fast. that is to say the least. there are processes to follow and hurdles to overcome. the pandemic galvanized congress into making decisions in the early weeks, but now action is needed to ensure the health care system is working. upton knowsve fred a thing or two about the power of policy and bringing about far-reaching change. you very muchhank for joining us again. we have had many discussions about this. let me just start and ask you, how has your community -- how is your community doing right now? i was discussing with dr. fauci, a lot of mixed signals out there. you have a lot of manufacturing workers in your area. you have all generations responding. give us a snapshot of what you are contending with. rep. upton: it is a very diverse state. so many different issues. we have our state divided into regions. we had a couple regions take a step backwards i
