the president called mr cummings' majority—black district. it was just one of many tweets that his critics have labelled racist. but donald trump doesn't see it that way. here he is. iand i and the least racist person there is anywhere in the world. what i have done for african americans and two and a half years, no president has been able to do anything like it. today's event took place in jamestown, virginia.

cummings for, that i blame republicans in a sense of giving up on the city, now. there is an opportunity. kennedy: that is the state of california. gregg: right. kennedy: republican party in california has gone a would. awol. >> difference now that republicans have people of color, they are more i did hers group of people that could -- diverse group of people that could run. like new york. kennedy: if you know your constituents you have a plan, you talk to them directly -- we've seen miraculous things happen. >> this is where i think that president is missing, i thought high was wise in 2016 to go to inner-cities and meet with pastors, he has not picked up on that, beating up on battle more will not do it i would say -- go to says, go to new york, say, are you happy with mayor de blasio. and nycha that makes bill de blasio the biggest slumlord, go to the stays and disrupt -- city ands disrupt. if you step back, the quickly question is, is is donald trump a racist or fill in the blank. kennedy: i don't want a race war, i don't. i don't want it to be black versus wh

mr. cummings has the moral standing to question how migrant children are being treated at the border is an abomination to me. >> is trying to say this us versus them.>> the republican governor called the president's comments outrageous and inappropriate. >> the directors live in the trump administration. he tweeted he would step down on august 16. is argued with the president of russia and north korea. he reportedly announced his resignation after seeing repeated warnings about russian election meddling water down by the white house. he announced his nominated texas congressman to replace them. has been an outspoken defender president trump. >>> the president and this will go head-to-head in the second debate starting tomorrow night. they will be divided across two nights in detroit. the amount of includes senator bernie sanders. on the second night, senator kemal harris and joe biden will face each other for the second time on the debate stage. cory booker and congresswoman are also expe

listen to what he told reporters just before leaving on mr. cummings. >> what elijah cummings should do is he should take his oversight committee, bring them down to baltimore, and invest all of -- and really study the billions and billions of dollars that's been stolen. it's been wasted. it's been stolen. >> reporter: so this is an historical event. i will keep my voice down. john meacham, at times a trump critic, is speaking about the founding of jamestown. the question and the challenge for trump, will he keep his remarks today on what we're celebrating here in 1619 or will the president go off on partisan attacks yet again? we will see here in a couple minutes when the president shows up and participates in this ceremony. hallie? >> nbc's hans nichols live in jamestown. hans, thank you. >>> it is also debate night in america. taking the stage tonight bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. not many fireworks on the campaign trail just yet. might that change tonight? nina turner. senator turner, thanks for coming back on the show. >> reporter:

cummings: thank you very much. mr. monsees, juul made a statement "we are as committed as ever to combating youth usage, but don't take our word for it, look at our actions." we are looking at your actions, and they are deeply troubling. in 2017, the city of san francisco band favored tobacco products. then big tobacco company r.j. reynolds tried to reverse that with a ballot measure. the voters rejected big tobacco ban byheld the flavor a whopping 68%. last month, san francisco banned the sale of e-cigarettes and just like that, your fellow tobacco company, juul is trying to overturn the measure through a ballot measure. but your ballot measure is even bolder than r.j. reynolds's. beyond overturning the e-cigarette ban, is it true that it would also repeal the flavor ban the 68% of san franciscans already approved? mr. monsees: i am sorry, chairman. if there is a provision in that, i may be unfamiliar with it. but suggesting that there is a provision in that legislation ban would repeal the flavor on cigarettes, on co

but i thank you, mr. cummings for your great leadership. the mueller investigation could not do the president's personal or business connections. one of those connections could be through the russians, and that's what we want to find out. as we go to questions, i just want to say that i do believe what we saw today was a very strong manifestation, some would say indictment, of this administration's cone of silence in their cover-up. this is about the oath we take to protect and defend the constitution. but some of the actions that the administration may have taken we'll see through our investigation, they have jeopardized our national security by strengthening the russian' hand in undermining our democracy. liz: top democrats wrapping up their take on the mueller hearing. but president trump euphoric. the democrats pumped up the mueller hearing as their super bowl. but critics are saying they belly flopped. there were fireworks, highlights and low lights. we'll dig into tonight, a nasty episode in american history that proved how fox it the

mr. cummings saying children were sleeping and eating in their own feces. when the president hears lies like that, he's going to fight back. >> mick mulvaney says it is not true that people were sleeping in their own feces, that's just not right. >> put up the element here. put it up. >> there it is, there is a stench and soiled clothes and no baths for migrant children at a texas center, children as young as 7 or 8. many of them wearing clothes caked with snack aots and tears. they just met the lawyers. toddlers without diapers are relieving themselves in their pants. so even when they try to help them out. they don't go deeper. >> this i think shows who these people are. who the crowd that votes for him are. these are children were being abused in these shelters and the fact that this all lives matter crowd. this is a very american thing. this is no the first time they rip families apart and putting people in these types of circumstances. this is where everybody, this is not a partisan issue. this is a humanitarian crisis. it is shameful that somebody lik

for mr. cummings, he might be tempted to say no my purview, i represent maryland in the u.s. house, working on national issues. but of course, he has presented himself for many years as a champion of constituents, and he has focused on all of the issues, talked a lot about them. why has nothing improved? why do we continue to see these problems under one democratic administration in baltimore after another? i think this is a good question. it's a policy question. it's not an issue of -- >> sandra: fair enough. donna brazile joined us last hour and made a fear point. here she is. >> is a right to pin this on the person he was representing that city, or should we all take responsibility to make this country better for every living soul in this country? let's focus on what we should do as a country. >> sandra: she wants to take it out to the national level, and she does say the president as part of all of this too. some say this is not the local level with leadership. >> i would say that we certainly can argue about policies. national policies that mr. cummings has advocated, no

whether on the four minority freshmen of congress at the house, or a veteran member of congress like mr. cummings, these could jeopardize the white house's ability to continue to build relationships this fall as they try to go after issues like prescription drug reform. >> boyd, quickly on this, how big of a deal is this? will we forget about this in another week with the president potentially coming up with another statement or another move here? >> i think you're right, richard, and i think this is what the problem in our country is. the more we have a political polarization problem, we have a contempt problem where we dehumanize and weaponize everything. so on the one hand, we probably won't remember this as it continues to mount, but we should. the american people need to look themselves in the mirror and say, what am i sending out to my neighbors, to my community, because this will not be solved by this president, this white house or anyone in washington. this starts in our neighborhoods, our families and our local communities. >> and if i can just add very quickly, what is the mes

mr. president, your job is to unite this country. and when you take shots as you did with elijah cummings in the city of baltimore, you're attacking the constituents of those districts. they take it very personally. your job is to unite us, not to divide us. and i just think it's so unacceptable and it's not what the president of the united states is supposed to do. >> in fact your colleague rashida talib said earlier today this president is sowing hate. he's not advancing any kind of policy but instead hate. do you agree with her summation of his actions? >> he is. i have to tell you that i actually represent most of the arab-americans in michigan. rashida does not. i have little school children that are grabbing my legs and telling me they are afraid somebody is going to come and pull them out of their houses in the middle of the night and take them away and they're never going to be seen again. this is not germany in the '30s and '40s. this is the united states of america. and i would plead with the president, be a president for e

i would invite the president and mr. cummings to come together in baltimore and store some opportunity zone areas and talk about ways that we can help not bridge the gap, but actually tighten the threats that make us the most powerful amazing country on gods green earth. >> bret: his hud secretary ben carson said something similar, saying the president is willing to do that. two very quick questions, little lightning rod here. john ratcliffe, are you going to vote for him, is his nomination jeopardy? >> his nomination is not in jeopardy. john ratcliffe is an incredibly complicated situation, which means the democrats hate him just because he's a republican. the part that is simple and not complicated is the fact that he is a qualified, competent person who has spent his life in public surfaced from a u.s. attorney, congress member and somebody has worked on issues in the area of national intelligence for a number of years. his partner in law firm was john ashcroft. so my perspective on john is one that has been built ove

here's how the president's acting chief of staff is defending the attacks today. >> mr. cummings saying that children were sleeping or sitting in their own feces. that's just not right. it's not accurate. when the president hears lies like that, he is going to fight back and that's what you saw in those tweets. has absolutely zero to do with race. >> congressman, what's your response? >> well, we've seen six, now i think it's seven, children who've died in the custody, in the care, of the u.s. government which represents the people. so that goes way beyond just a dirty diaper. no child had died in our custody for a decade before that, as i understand it. so we're talking about retched conditions that they've allowed to grow up in these different detention centers. i'm going to be going down there if a couple days with a group of colleagues to inspect. we're trying to be present as much as possible to let them know we're watching. there are severe overcrowding. outbreaks of lice. chickenpo chickenpox. of influenza. really brutal conditions there. the president apparently

we had no idea we would be here the weekend the president would attack mr. cummings and then he's going to attack me as a troublemaker and a con-man. i am a troublemaker. i am going to make trouble anytime racists and bigots start making trouble. if he really thought i was a con-man he'd be nominating me to his cabinet. >> you've known him for a couple of decades, i think. what happened? >> i've known him for decades. i've marched against him on central park five and this -- >> he's come to my conventions. he cut the ribbon. when he was a democrat, i wasn't a con-man then. he's playing a race baiting crowd. he called me after he was elected president and asked me to go to mar-a-lago and meet with him. omarosa he sent and asked for meetings. if he felt that way, why would he call me after he won the election? he confirmed the call. this is race baiting at its best. this is donald trump playing the race card, and it is a shame and it is a sham. >> you may remember, because i do back on the campaign trail when then candidate trump was running for president he d

cummings. if there are any dorose ents, ty are much more his responsible. while we would not seek to name calling or point out that he failed to spell the congressman's name correctly, we would tell the most dishonest man to ever occupy the eve offices, the mocker of war heros and the gleeful grabber of women's private parts, that he's still not fooling most americans into fooling that he's even slightly competent in his current job. or that he possesses a skin till la of integrity. better to have some vermen living in your neighborhood than to be one. the "baltimore sun's" editorial this morning. he's gone viral online. maybe that will be the subject of the president's next tweet. that's all for this televised "reliable sources." a quick note ahead of the big debate this week, there's another new episode of the movies on cnn, tonight 9:00 p.m. eastern time here on cnn. this week it's about movies from the 70s, and starting monday live non-stop coverage of the big democratic debates. we will see you back here this time next week. >> taking the stage, with t

cummings said this week in the oversight committee about the border if you go on the internet you can find the exchange where a lie she coming said the children were sitting in their own feces at the border that's wrong in fact it's misleadingly wrong it's the type of thing that really breaks down a civilized debate about how to address the the crisis at the border and the president didn't like it as a president speak hyperbolically absolutely and we've seen this type of of reaction for him before yes and you will again because he pushes back he fights back when he feels like he's attacked or what mr coming said this week was wrong. it appears that the reaction to president. gaining traction is this the end of this back and forth exchange. well unfortunately it is not the end of this back and forth in the last 45 minutes the president donald trump has again taken to twitter and basically has doubled down and i'm paraphrasing here but he basically said that he didn't say anything wrong that most people would agree with him that eliza cummings who is the chair of the house oversight com

so mr. cummings speaks with great care and sobriety when he reminds people exactly what the facts in history are of what's going on. >> i cannot help but think about when i was 11 years old. trying to integrate a swimming pool in my district. and we were taunted. we were stoned with bot ols and they said the same words. they said, go back to your neighborhood. go back to where you came from. >> go back to where you came from. now, there are ways to deal with this. for one thing, republicans can say, they agree with so much of what the president stands for or voces 0 or policy and they disagree with this, indeed.republicans previously claimed they disagreed with exactly this but now they're exposed because apparently they don't when it matters. giving this president cover once again. >> last night as we were hearing these chants the president just stood there. >> the president moved on with his speech. >> the president did not join in. he moved on. >> isn't it racist though the to say send he

cummings is right, there are people fearful in this country. there's a fear factor that i've not experienced to the extent that i'm seeing it now. people are concerned of their safety as a result of the way the president is treating a member of congress. >> all right. texas congressman al green, thank you vefor being with us. >> thank you, reverend. >>> as trump continues to wage war against democratic congresswomen of color, he's putting many republican minorities between a rock and a hard place. coming up, we'll talk about the plight with former senior trump aide omarosa manigault-newman. >>> plus amid this racially charged crisis, my thoughts on the president's motivations to help spring asap rocky, a black rapper, from jail in sweden. you're watching "politicsnation." ♪ sick and tired of running circles ♪ for miles and miles. ♪ being lost ain't never really been my style. ♪ but i told ya... yo, jer! we gotta get to the show. ♪ i was looking for a sign. get on the bus. ♪ i need something to believe in. ♪ throw my hands up to th

i think if you check mr. cummings has become a millionaire. and their h people suffered and were killed. and i turned it around because they needed -- not because i'm so terrific, because i didn't owe anything to these crooks. the reality is, that's what's going on in inner-city baltimore. >> laura: rudy, you delivered results. >> i saved more african-american lives -- >> laura: he is a result-oriented. i got to ask mike huckabee, should the president go to baltimore and work with those disruptive -- and i mean disruptive and a good way -- groups on the ground that are getting it done, but need some extraut help? >> i think it would be a terrific idea, laura. there are number of pastors and churches ine that area with whm he could part of. it ain't going to be the politicians. but there was a great missed opportunity tonight with bernie sanders standing there. buttigieg or somebody should have turned to him and says, "you know, senator, you wants, just a few years ago, said baltimore was a third world country. are you a racist, sir? are you a

cummings, and better to have vermin living in your neighborhood than to be one. >> this is the problem that we have. and i want to say republicans can't get out of this one. i want to remind everyone republicans are not racist. they are not. the policies we believe in are good for everybody. making sure we lift people from the lowest common denominator up. we should be talking about that. the problem i have is the president of the united states is supposed to represent all americans and when you go after americans, you can go after their policies, you can even go after when they say things that you disagree with. but when your words hurt americans and divide us, that is unacceptable to me. >> and again, i would just say that the president should be pointing out all the positive things his administration is doing to lift people up. real wage increases, the things you were pointing out how detroit has benefited from this president, how michigan has benefitted. >> i'm doing it, he's not. >> that's my point. that the president should be tweeting out about look what i've done for you, balti
