point blank said that s untrue. how big of an issue is it? it s an issue in the sense that, look, when you have the impression that it s a politically motivated firing, what was going to immunize that perception was the idea that there was a benign reason for it, that you had the backing of somebody who had credibility across different parties who was just confirmed two weeks ago, i think 96-4 by the snechlt you had somebody saying, well, there were justifiable reasons that were more recent than last july. they were because of the recent testimony he gave just about a week ago. then the president came out and said, no, no, that didn t factor into nigh kmy calculate cue lus all. that s a big issue when you think about the fact that you had this impression. you had people saying, listen,
unite us so that we can go forward and be a leader, not a tweeter. that would be helpful. there was, of course, a horrifying story of just an extraordinary man from kansas who was an immigrant from india who was shot in a bar by somebody saying get out of my country. i had somebody yesterday come up to me and said i ve been here my entire life, i was born here. yet every time i go to the airport now i m afraid. by the way, he wasn t being melodramatic. things have changed. this is something the president really does need to speak to. there s a concern about the other. you can be like me, a conservative. i believe you get to america the legal way. you don t break laws. i want to help the person in india or pakistan or norway or
that was the worst. i had people working me. wasn t miller great? no. that is the worst performance of anybody that made susan rice, the sunday after benghazi, look smooth. that was horrendous and an embarrassment and when you have somebody saying, it is a fact and you will not deny it, and then saying the president will not be questioned. wow. well, aren t we king? if you actually read it, just to be clear about it, in some ways it s worse. this is the quote. the end result of this, meaning the challenge of the immigration order, though, is that our opponents, media and whole world will soon see as we begin to take further accesses, that the pou powers of the president to protect our country are substantial and will not be question. which is an assertion i don t want the president not being questioned but nearly unlimited executive branch authority to do
back in and confirm that they are hopelessly deadlocked. ari melber has been standing by, chief legal correspondent at msnbc. about 20 minutes ago when we last spoke waiting for this moment you had this looks like the bottom of the ninth, towards a hung jury essentially. what is your sense now when you re listening to this? is that where we are headed? if we are, what happens next? in the case of manslaughter or murder regarding the shooting death of walter scott, we are in mistrial territory in all but technicalically confirming it. we are headed for a mistrial. what the judge just said from the bench, based on the written notes and based on conferring with basically the lawyers there and defense counsel, mr. slagr s counsel asking for a mistrial, ed in plain english, this looks like a mistrial. let me double-check it with the jurors themselves. so it is not legally happened yet but where it s headed and barring something weird like somebody saying, no, i didn t write that note that
part of this video. that s right. my understanding from prior reporting, he s going to spend hours on day one issuing executive orders that repeal prior executive orders. i think that s where he s going to do at least symbolically a lot of the rollback of obama priorities he campaigned against. some of what he talked about today, tpp was dead on arrival in the first place. that s an sy one to talk about. some of these other things like the regulatory promise i think are in some ways harder to enact than he might think. it s a great sound bite. it sounds great you can just repeal some of these regulations. they don t come out of nowhere. there s this myth that bureaucrats are sitting around mindlessly coming up with regulations for no reason. they re intended to clarify laws that have been passed. court orders that have been issued. you know, technical problems that are in the implementation of law. we ll see how it works out. i could easily see, for example, somebody saying i m going
