is and i will not allow democrats or their allies in the media to use one tragic day to discredit the aspirations of millions of americans. you know, it s like you know, jonathan lemire, sure. sure. donald trump knew that mike pence s life was in danger. and maybe he also knew that mike pence s children s life, that they were in dame as well and his wife was in danger. and maybe he knew that mike pence had been pulled away from the chamber and rushed downstairs with secret service. and maybe, just maybe he tweeted something after knowing that, that put their lives in greater
that as well as democrats that were there. his life was endangered. he was chased out. he had secret service rushing him and hiding his family. when donald trump found out about that, he then knowing pence was in danger, then tweeted something to stir up the crowds who were already chanting hang mike pence. this wasn t a little misunderstanding. this isn t, you say potato, i say potato. this is about life and death and he wants to get elected to a position. he wants the approval of people so badly he just lets that slip by. and president trump, of course, was watching cable coverage of this. he was fully aware of what was going on. he was fielding calls from kevin mccarthy, asking him to call supporters, which he decline to do so immediately. we ve seen the surveillance foot animal of mike pence and his family being rushed down a
before the president makes his first trip overseas. our thanks to nbc s kelly o donnell for that report. and joining the conversation, we have former secretary of homeland security, under president obama, jeh johnson joins us, host of the new podcast, on brand with donny deutsch. donny, it s actually good. it s actually good. put that on the poster. we ve got hunter biden on this week. really interesting stuff. i ve been watching and listening. i appreciate that. i like that. you know, there was no even, no mini dig in there. it was very sweet. msnbc political analyst, eugene robinson joins us. and new york times reporter and msnbc national security analyst, michael schmidt is with us. he s the author of the book donald trump versus the united states: inside the struggle to stop a president. let s get back to what former
administration about this issue. and the posture of the justice department. and i m not sure that, you know, even someone like bill barr who was the attorney general when this happened would see this as a stain at all on their record, but it is obviously an enormously chilling thing for those of us that work and treasure in the first amendment. and i ll sort of leave it to the times to, you know, deal with it from here. gene robinson, in 2013, the obama administration seized the phone records of an associated press reporters and their editors, as well. is there not some step that administrations should have to go through, like, go to, before they re able to do that, put the reporters on notice, at least? this is stranlgs and we should point out that these abuses of the trump
garrett haake, thank you so much! thank you, garrett. greatly appreciate it. let s just reconfirm something for people who might be watching and are very frustrated with senator manchin. as alexi said, he was a governor. as walter, anybody else who s seen somebody who has been a governor and a senator will tell you, governors remain governors. even when you call them senators. like, and they believe in making the legislative body work. he also comes from a state that voted for donald trump. 69% voted for donald trump. he s not a coward, because if he were a political coward, like people were saying on twitter, then after sandy hook, he wouldn t have started pushing gun safety legislation in west virginia. that was a really courageous thing to do. and the got re-elected, even after taking on the nra.
