sorry. >> lawrence, claire was unambiguous. same question to you having spent years of your life and your early career in washington. as far as we know, following the rules. >> yeah. you know, i'm so -- i'm glad claire let you know what it feels like for people who worked in government to watch this kind of abuse of literally of the buildings. it's kind of horrifying. when claire was in the senate and if she needed to make a fund-raising call or calls involving her re-election campaign, she had to leave the building, leave the building and go somewhere else, into a private building somewhere to make that phone call. and that's what senators do. this kind of thing is respected. staff respects it. the tripwires are everywhere on this kind of stuff, and it's very easy to observe these rules when you internalize them. this is really sacre lidge us for people who work in government to watch the white house being used this way, to watch what mike pompeo did in using all these government assets to go to israel, to deliver that speech

claire: all right. michael: all right. lemonis: the fact that he was able to solve the problem and delegate it seems like a small thing to most people, but it was a really big thing for michael. i'm not even sure what i saw just happen. michael: well, i can't just deal with the smaller things. i can't deal with the things that really are time-consuming, but not profitable for the company. lemonis: i'd like to know where michael woods went. michael: [ laughs ] ♪ lemonis: tonight's a big night for ashtae, because it's a chance for them not only to launch their new brand and their new look, but talk to salon owners from throughout the east coast. i'm very nervous. i don't even know if the packaging's gonna be right. oh, this is nice. ♪ how are you, sir? michael: hey, looking sweet. lemonis: how are you? michael: looking sweet. woman: do you like it? lemonis: yeah, i love it. woman: good. lemonis: where's the product? michael: let's go. lemonis: i'm excited. michael: all right, all right. lemonis: honestly, it looks... ram

thanks to our guests tonight, claire mccaskill, eugene robinson. greatly appreciate it. >>> back to school. already an emotional time for parents, it's an intensely personal decision. without politics complicating the picture further. we get an update from middle america when we come back. >>> i have a feeling that on november 4th somebody is going to announce, schools are open, the country is open, everything is open. i believe a lot of it is done for political reasons. >> the president continues to seem to believe it's about him. it is about politics that is keeping schools from reopening and it certainly couldn't be safety concerns about a virus in the middle of a pandemic. meanwhile, it was just days after this photo appeared on social media showing georgia students crowded together in a hallway. the school was closed down. and in another georgia school district nearby, nearly 1200 students and teachers are presently quarantining after dozens of positive tests. and from the american academy of pediatrics, a study that dispels the notion that ki

it was claire's turn last night. and ui'm sorry but i have to us my time for it tonight. >> michael steele, let's talk about activism in sports. happens to be the very day anniversary of kaepernick taking a knee. you and i are old enough to remember kassius clay before he became mumd ali. you and i are old enough to remember the mexico city olympics. earlier on this network today, it was said it was the biggest act of its kind in the world of sports. my question to you is today the start of something all together new? >> that is a good question, and i think that is one of those to be determined answers because we're not really sure. we want to get some feedback maybe tomorrow from the players meetings tonight, the nba players meetings tonight when they canceled the games. all the players in the bubble decided to have a conversation. and my hope as part of that conversation, that if they des udd th -- decided not to play out the rest of the playoffs, fine. but then stay in the bubble and keep your platform because ame

claire mccaskill, the floor is yours. your reaction to what you've just seen. >> well, there are so many things that donald trump has done and failed to do that i ambiteram bitterly disappointed about and disagree with him profoundly. but i will never forgive him for what he did at the white house tonight. turning the white house into a sleazy political function is not what this country is all about. i honestly -- my heart is broken. when i saw political banners stretched across the south lawn of the white house, when i saw him coming out of the white house like a monarch at the beginning of his speech, it -- you know, am i angry? yes. but i'm heartbroken. and i got to tell you i think this president has misjudged the american people. i think he is so into the visuals of a tv program, he is so hyper focused on how things look, and it looked beautiful. and that's what he wanted. it looked like there was a big crowd, and that's what he wanted. but it was jarring to the american people. and i had so many of my non-political

claire multiple recent polls show maine senator susan collins slightly trailing her opponent sarah gideon up in maine and many polls there are many who are pulled there are holding a grudge about collins kavanaugh vote clear how much do you think me too is going to weigh in november. well i don't know about generalizing the meat to movement and i like that scotty said about pandering on the republican side and on the democratic side too so pandering is really i don't think a great strategy because it's about people voting not specific little groups so when it comes to susan collins i think she's really in trouble because she always had a lot of support from pro-choice democratic women in name who voted for her and during the cabin our hearings they looked at that and said well she's really not on our team is she so i think she's really really in trouble in maine so i think her opponent is you know in my unprofessional opinion i think she's going to take that but as far as the meat to moment movement that's not so much of the issue for me i'm really looking at this electoral map which i kn

boy, that's some hoax, claire. >> yeah. you know what, i really wish we would refer to this report a different way. i would like to say, tom cotton says that the trump campaign manager was working with a russian agent. ben sasse says, of course, the government should have been investigating what was going on in the trump campaign. john cornyn says, yes, carter page was doing suspicious things that warranted him being looked at by the people in our government because of his activities with russia. this is a damning report. if it was issued in isolation, without all of the other noise that trump creates, with all of his scandal, it would blow the lid off washington, d.c. but because of when it's being issued and everything that's come before it, my fear is people won't realize that this was marco rubio and tom cotton and ben sasse and john cornyn saying, yes, the trump campaign worked with russia and they should have been investigated. >> yeah. another way to put it, willie, is that marco rubio said that donald trump's coordi

thanks, claire. it's really -- it's such an honor that you agreed to do this and that you're going to be my interlocutor tonight. i'm such a big fan of yours as well. this is a reading from my first book, "quitter: a memoir of drinking, relapse and recovery." let me tell you what it's like to be sober, really sober, for the first time in years. it feels like seeing color for the first time. it feels like you've been looking at the world through someone else's glasses and suddenly you can make out every individual blade of grass. it feels like you have a secret superpower that nobody can see, a claire few of mind that allows you to leech insights. your body feels stronger than it's the ever been. food tastes better. desire returns. at the same time, everything has an intensity that scares you a little. when you feel the feeling, oh, my god, how am i ever going to start paying back my debt, you just have to sit with it, figure it out, wait for it to pass. when you've dampened every experience with the

claire, i'd like to begin with you. in terms of tone and substance and the kind of takeaway feeling you got after a night like tonight. >> well, you know, this is a presidency of lies, and this was a couple of hours of lies, mostly about who joe biden is and his policies but also lies about covid and lies about health care and lies -- you know, one of the things that really struck me, brian, was the nerve they had of telling immigrant stories tonight. nikki haley talking about being -- her parents and immigration. maximo alvarez from cuba, who came here in an asylum situation from cuba, seeking freedom. and then maybe the most unbelievable of all, the two women from guatemala selling honey. you know, you have to understand that children from guatemala were ripped from their families' arms on purpose. this is -- this is a presidency that has shut the door, slammed the door on people like this. and so the idea -- i mean i can't decide which was weirder, them having the mccloskeys villainize black people, and then having t

senator from missouri and current msnbc political analyst, claire mccaskill is here. also joining us, democratic strategist, basil smikle and white house reporter for "the new york times," eli stokols. eli, i want to start with you. and i wonder if you can just take anyone who's doing a little mental decluttering last week through the weekend of events, as things grew more tense on the streets of portland, donald trump torqued up his divisive distribution of tweets to his millions of supporters. and through today, after local leaders called for him to stay away, insisted that he's coming. >> well, if we go back all the way to thursday, the day the president accepted the republican nomination, joe biden was out there saying, this seems to be a president who is rooting for violence. and he pointed to the comments by kellyanne conway during a television interview, in which he said, this stuff helps us. that's pretty much what she said. and democrats have been seizing on it ever since. now, trump went out that night on the white house south lawn and gave a pretty buttoned

former congresswoman donna edwards and also axios reporter alexi cannon and claire mccaskill. on the reporting, peter notes and you've talked about this before and your colleagues at axios has covered this and illustrated this in jonathan swan's brilliant interview. donald trump has benefited from the volume business of chaos and norm-busting now but it seems that all t all points to then deniable acceptance on his part if this election is fair, he's going to lose. >> well, thank you for having me, nicolle and congrats on your next hour of "deadline: white house." so glad to be here for this episode. but this is exactly right. president trump has all of this chaos as you put it and it has been going on around him since he took office. and now we're seeing the way in which that is dragging him down in the polls but not just seeing republican voters and independent voters or even democratic voters who took a chance on him in 2016, we're seeing in polling they're moving toward biden and that is something that the trump campaign is seeing in internal polls as well. the trump campa

for the record, those applause weren't from claire mccaskill. >> people wanted to be around her. there was a charisma, a fascination, for lack of a better word, a bit of celebrity surrounding kamala harris. >> the first black woman, the first south asian woman named to a presidential ticket, it is a big deal. >> gillian: some members of the media gushing over joe biden's choice of kamala harris as his running mate, applause breaking out at msnbc. brian williams making sure to point out that applause came from network analyst and former democratic senator claire mccaskill. this is not your first rodeo, what is the first and foremost responsibility of journalists covering a campaign like this? >> bret: to be fair and be fair to both sides. and there is some forgetfulness, may be purposefully to kamala harris' campaign, these same folks covered that. remember that senator harris got out of the presidential campaign december 3rd 2019. she did not make it till christmas. that's two months before the iowa caucuses. she got out, because she was considered not a good campaigner and did n

claire mccaskill has the first question. we're going to have all of the prosecutors gather together here. claire, take it away. >> general, it's good to be with you this morning. i'm not sure that people realize the power the attorney general has to protect the little guy, to go after the biggest and most powerful interests in this country. i know that when kamala was a.g. in california, she took on big oil, she took on big banks. you recently have taken on one of the most powerful interests in our country. talk about the experience you get when you have the ability to prioritize where you use your resources to protect the little guy in your state, similar to the experience that kamala has had. >> well, first, good morning, and thank you for having me. you know, it's an historic day, and i'm just really honored to be here. senator harris, obviously, is going to make history. she's made history before. and as the attorney general of the great state of california, she knows, like i know, that attorney generals are defending de

claire mccaskill, how would you assess joe biden. there were pitfalls during the vetting process they avoided. we can nitpick, but for the most part i don't think there's going to be sore feelings. i'm curious, how do you think they handled this, do you think they -- how do you think biden handled the vetting process? >> first of all, one of the things you want in a presidential campaign is the kind of tight lipped access to the really important stuff. they kept this quiet. this was amazing, especially when everyone is having more time on their phones because nobody is traveling anywhere. the fact that this didn't leak says a lot about him and his campaign team. secondly, i talked to a number of women on the short list over the last few weeks and the sense of unity was palpable. i am friends with these women. there really was a sense we will all, no matter who he picks, we're all in. and that is what trump does to our party. it unites everyone. and i do think others talked about kamala as a candidate. one thing she and joe biden have

so claire newton in the house has a very successful career. she gets in the agricultural committee, it's a very promising career. one of the things she does because of her background as a teacher, she wants to push for a federal school loan program. she manages after the sputnik crisis to slip in a provision, an amendment, to the national defense education act in 1958 that establishes federal student loans. she knows the legislative ropes and really pushes her agenda. unfortunately, she runs for election that year and democratic farmer labor operatives sabotage her campaign. they write a letter that they get her husband to sign up and the letter says that their marriage is suffering because she's far from home and it into mates there might be some sort of untoward relationship with a staffer that she has. the tagline on the letter is coy a come home. she essentially loses the reelection because of the negative publicity that's generated by that letter. a lot of us because of the social expectation is still prevalent. that a woman's place was i

joining us is now jonathan lemire, plus ron klain and former democratic senator claire mccaskill. jonathan, i watched you as you were with the president over the weekend as he was making it sound like he was signing executive orders, in fact the only one, the other three were memorandas, that has been a consistent theme that somehow everything is going to get fixed just like that. you were there. you heard him. you've been talking to people since then. where does this leave us? >> well, chris, i think with can safely say that those actions, those orders won't take care of everything. no individual measure could. first of all, the scene over the weekend, the president had a rather spontaneous news conference friday night and another one saturday both at his bedminster country club, he's on three-day weekend there at his new jersey retreat. it was a bit of a surreal scene. members of the country club were allowed to watch. members who traveled with him saw them arrive, many with drinks in hand, only a few with masks on. they only donned masks after we started tweeting that they were

claire, thank you very much for being here. best of luck with this project. tell people how they can find it and how they can help. >> sure. on tampabay.com you'll see a link to our obituary project, as well as a google form within that page where you can submit memories of your loved one. and i think for us it's just a way of saying that even as the death toll grows, we're still going to be here, we're still paying attention, every life matters, and no death is faceless. so, please help us make this project a reality as we keep marking the losses. >> claire, thank you. and let me just note, you know, we have to always remember in this coverage, america doesn't know the true death toll. the death toll is higher than we all know. the excess deaths in this country may already be over 200,000 this year because there's not enough testing and the testing is full of delays and failures, we don't know the true extent of this calamity. as bad as we think it is, as bad as the data indicates, it is even worse. if you're not angry about that, you are not paying attentio

i heard you earlier on tv, claire. and brian williams said it's kamala harris. i could hear you in the background screaming. why did you scream? >> listen, this is a strong pick, and joe biden deserves a great deal of credit for picking someone who challenged him in the primaries, who took it to him on the very difficult issue of race that we struggle with in this country to this very day. but also i've got to just give a shout out to the pack that kamala has traveled. this zaur of immigrants. this is not someone who was given millions of dollars by her parents and said, go make money. this isn't somebody who, you know, broke her teeth on reality tv. this is someone who worked hard and overcame obstacles of prejudice, against not just being black and the daughter of immigrants, but also being a woman. and the fact that she went to a historically black college and then became the first black woman elected d.a. of san francisco and then the first woman elected attorney general of california and then in a state that was full of people with ambition, she rose to the

the installation they thought was bold when it first opened in the museum'senml now seems positively clair foye vant. it's a statement about slavery by american artist cara walker. as she explained in the accompanied video. sa africa to waters which america. england was the beneficiary of the slave trade and its products, and so you have this kind of institution that spaps many hns of years and everybody's implicated in it. >> everybody's implicated in it including the people that ep joyed this face. they made their fortune in sugar business which was formed with slave labor. if it looks a little familiar, that's because its modelled after one of the most famous monuments in london. the imposing memorial to kwooep victoria that has sat in front of buckingham paults for more than a search features classic himry to deticket a monarchy. while the museum shows the dark side of imperial history, the horrors of the forced transport of slaves from africa to work in blip's colonies in north america and the caribbean. the work was commissioned well before the killing o gf t black lives matter movem

let's turn to senator claire mccaskill of missouri, a democrat herself. what do you think joe biden has to do here, and what do you think of this conversation we're having? is it about policy or is it about personality? >> i think it's about both but mostly about personality at this point. and joe biden has to do a couple of things. one, he's going to give a relatively short speech for joe biden. i think he's going to speak about 20 minutes. those of us who know joe know he likes to talk a lot longer than that. i also think he's going to do some policy stuff that is safe in that big tent that chuck just referred to. but maybe the most important thing he has to do, savannah, is step out of barack obama's shadow. he's got to be presidential. he's got to show the country that he is someone they can be comfortable with, with some of the most difficult decisions our country faces. >> do you think the isolation, the relative isolation that the pandemic has brought on has been somewhat helpful to him in maintaining a lead? has become more and more unhinged. i me

senator claire mccaskill of the great state of missouri and maria teresa kumar, president and ceo of voto la tetino. reverend, we saw with steve kornacki the strength of the biden polling advantage on the issue of race relations. more than any other issue, biden is outpacing the president on the issue of handling race relations. what do the democrats do with that strategically? what do they do with that in the way they're going to present themselves to the country this week? >> they must address the real racial divide that has now had this whole country's attention. we are at a time of reckoning. joe biden and kamala harris represents a ticket that says that we can deal with racial inclusion, and we can without any fear deal with racial injustice without being polarizing. the fact that this president has embraced everyone that has outright been racist, anti-semitic, anti-lgbtq, is in and of itself some energy, but they must be able to show, as they have began to, that they are not only the opposite, but that they can deal with this and govern in a way that would address the injustice
