Where thousands marched to drown out a farright gathering. President trump first announcing and praising the protesters who he eventually said were quote, speaking out against bigotry and hate. Well talk to chuck todd in a moment. And then later to one of the men who participated in the rally in charlottesville. Also sitting down with the marine actor who broke through on the hbo series girls. If you walk down the street in new york city probably because mainly because of star wars, the experience is different than it would have been two years. Yeah, it just kind of sucks. A sit down with adam driver later in the show. But lets begin with protests held in cities across the country. There were some arrests, but they were largely peaceful and a far cry from what we saw last week. Morgan, good morning. Reporter willy, good morning. Protests erupting from coast to coast. The largest protest was here in boston where more than 1,000 people took to the streets, far more than police expected.
Actually say in the beer distributors pockets. It was public money that was supposed to go to promoting recycling but was instead winding up in the distributors pockets just because of an error in the way the law was constructed. They were very active in political campaigns and that loophole of what we knew about it for years and years and years was not corrected. My first term in the legislature in 2009 was the first year the legislature was publicly financed. I cant point to a direct correlation. But i think it was about two weeks after we were sworn in that we came in and corrected that loophole and those funds are returned to the public. And so thats a clear example of a special interest that had been able, to no pun intended, bottle up legislation. If you look at connecticuts record, particularly the last four years under governor malloy, weve really been a shining light for those of us in the Progressive Movement as a place where we can see policies that are folks elsewhere can o

Secretary james mattis, the last of the socalled adults in the room and the latest of so many members of this administration to leave. We first got word of it in a president ial tweet. The president saying, misleadingly it would turn out, that the decorated fourstar marine general, was retiring. Moments later, we learned in fact, a stinging letter came from the secretary. He was quitting, in protest. And in that letter, not one single word of praise for the commander in chief. Plenty to say, however, about sharp policy differences. As you heard, the reaction from across the board from both parties, from the military, has been brutal. In one case, we should warm you, profane. One lawmaker, a democrat on the House Armed Services Committee Said sharply nchs and i dont like to say these words on the air, but he said oh, shit. As we mentioned, this is just one of two important stories this evening. The other is the growing and now very real possibility of a Government Shutdown. We begin wit
