ThIs Is sImply unacceptable, and trumps securIty must be Increased. But It Is there that any MedIa Con Consensus breaks down. Trump reacted by tellIng Fox News dIgItal he belIeves the rhetorIc of bIden and harrIs, and he acted on It. TheIr rhetorIc Is causIng me to be shot at. Let me just number In and say jump In and says anyone who trIes to kIll a candIdate or does a Mass ShootIng Is by defInItIon crazy. But these two two attempts In two months are fuelIng a fIrestorm of debate wIth the MedIas Role Front and center about whether Kamala HarrIs SIde or the Trump SIde Is more responsIble for fosterIng a clImate of vIolence.

department of homeland security wanted to try to recover those deleted secret service messages from around the time of the january 6th attack on the capitol. but then the trump-appointed agency, watchdog step in. mika, did someone gel on that. that doesn t make sense on any level for any department in government. i don t, something is definitely wrong and perhaps. steve kornacki is standing by to help break down leaks which feature a number of candidates who deny the 2020 election results. what is the anger meter, the rage meter this morning. well, the rage will join us. the rage will be on. he s going to be here? we re very lucky, joe. i thought he only did rodeos in august. we re very, very lucky, the rage is back. one of the reasons we re going to be hearing from rusty. there he is. wow, just got a chill down my spine. we ll hear from rusty bowers. the arizona speaker who may pay the price for the 2020 election and testifying before it before the janu
donny deutsch. host of them is nbc s politics nation. president of the action network. reverend al sharpton. and former chief of staff adrian alrod. senior aide to hillary clinton and biden presidential campaigns. so, reverend al. you look at what democrats have done over the years. all the infighting, overreaching, all the internal squabbling. you look at joe biden s poll numbers. you look at history. democrats should be completely wiped out this fall. and yet, in one statewide race, after another, they re doing very well against republicans in these swing states. i mean, it s incredible how crazy a lot of these republican nominees are that are winning.
