for many years the small state like nevada really couldn't do much until harry reid became one of the most powerful people in the history of the state becoming minority majority leader of the u.s. senate and i'm sure he's talked to kathleen cortez masto about that as he anointed our to replace him. >> host: it is nevada a swing state? >> it's a great question steve and i wrote a column after the last election saying that the data is a blue state state and wasn't the republicans who are upset with me was actually the democrats because if you were declared a blue state than you aren't going to get as much investment from the national party and the democrats want to keep saying that data is in play. now listen its still 100 days or so for early voting starting in nevada and you can't say anything for sure but nevada is a very happily leaning blue state. i saw that harry reid recently actually was interviewed and advise biden to invest here so clearly he is worried as a still behind-the-scenes kingmaker in nevada that the national democrats -- the democrats dominate the state and there's

i saw that harry reid recently was interviewed and said he advised biden to invest here, so clearly he is worried as a behind-the-scenes kingmaker and influential force in nevada that the national democrats will not invest here. the democrats dominate the state. there is only one republican statewide elected official, the secretary of state, who pretty much has to act nonpartisan. the legislature is controlled by almost super majorities by democrats. they dominate the state. the state is clearly a very blue state, but the local democratic party does not want to lose the resources invested during a presidential campaign, so they will keep saying swing state. it's very difficult to make that argument anymore. steve: a year that is going to be unlike any other in terms of how the candidates campaign. so far most of it virtually. when you say invest in the state, it is not necessarily going to mean that candidates are campaigning in person, but an on the ground effort, much of it done virtually or through advertising, correct? jon: absolutely right. all of that is really about voter regist

for many years, a small state like nevada really couldn't do much, until harry reid became one of the most powerful people in the history of the state, becoming minority and then majority leader of the u.s. senate. and i am sure he has talked to catherine cortez masto about that, because he anointed her to replace him. steve: is nevada a swing state? jon: great question, steve. i wrote a column after the last election, saying that nevada is a blue state. and it wasn't republicans who were upset with me, it was actually the democrats. because if you are declared a blue state, then you are not going to get as much investment from the national party. and the democrats want to keep saying nevada is in play. listen, it is still 100 days or so from early voting starting here in nevada, and you can't say anything for sure, but nevada is a heavily leaning blue state. recentlyt harry reid was interviewed and said he advised biden to invest here, so clearly he is worried, as a behind-the-scenes kingmaker and influential force, that national democrats will not invest here. democrats dominate the

in a so that harry reid recently actually was interviewed and said he advised biden to invest here. so clearly is worried as a still behind the scenes and influential force in nevada the national democrats will not invest here. the democrats dominate the state iss only one state wide offici. secretary of state. the legislature is controlled by almost of the people majority by democrats. they dominate the states. so the state is clearly very lane blue state. but the local democratic party does not want to lose those resources that are invested during the presidential campaign. they will keep it. it's very difficult to make the argument anymore. steven: year that will be unlike any other in terms of how the candidate's campaignw so far mt of that virtually. so when we state invest in the state, and that does not necessarily mean the candidates like joe biden and donald trevor campaigning a person but is on the ground efforts, much of it done virtually what through advertising correct. jon: you're absolutely right worried and it's really all about voter registration pretty and mentione

i saw that harry reid recently was interviewed and said he advised biden to invest here, so clearly he is worried as a behind-the-scenes kingmaker and influential force in nevada that the national democrats will not invest here. the democrats dominate the state. there is only one republican statewide elected official, the secretary of state, who pretty much has to act nonpartisan. the legislature is controlled by almost super majorities by democrats. they dominate the state. so the state is clearly a very lean blue state, but the local democratic party does not want to lose the resources invested during a presidential campaign, so they will keep saying swing state. it's very difficult to make that argument anymore. host: of course a year that is , going to be unlike any other in terms of how the candidates campaign. so far, most of it virtually. when you say invest in the state, it is not necessarily going to mean that candidates like joe biden and donald trump are campaigning in person, but an on the ground effort, much of it done virtually or through advertising, correct? guest: you

former senate majority leader harry reid used his position to rail against the redskins on the senate floor. >> this bill has been sitting on its hands doing nothing while a population of americans has been denigrated. >> reporter: he hoped the team would lose every game but redskins didn't need anything from him. >> one of my disappointments in my senatorial tenure was the fact we did not get this done when i was there. >> the team hopes to return to washington building a stadium where the redskins used to play. eleanor holmes knowlton looked to repurpose the location but it requires dan snyder to change the name. >> the washington football team wants to use that site. >> reporter: campbell says if the name changes the campaign was worth it. >> native americans have been here 20,000 years. indians have a lot of patience. they outlasted them. >> reporter: of the redskins change their name the path back to washington dc runs right back through congress. shannon: our real news roundup, police in new york searching for vandals responsible for tearing down a flagpole at a memorial honorin

that's the last thing i did before i went to see harry reid and joe biden to be sworn in and to have john lewis with sump humility say to me how grateful he was because i was the fruition and in many ways a symbolic fruition of his efforts to see the fourth black person popularly elected to the united states senate. it's just been an unbelievable experience and then as a senator he and i did things i never could have imagined from a multiple-hour journey to go see jimmy carter for bible study from atlanta to plains, georgia, to signature on the capitol steps during the health care debate and watching hundreds and hundreds of people to come out and sit at his feet literally and him talk about why this fight was just yet another stone in the long road that we had to place to justice and equality. this is somebody whose humanity made him so much greater than me. he was not beyond your reach. he was not superhuman. he was frail and fragile in the way every human, is but yet despite that he showed a level of courage and commitment over decades that just is -- that will forever be inspirin

harry reid who's been in contact said in a recent interview said there was a lot of attention lately on duckworth who he called a highly decorated woman. she's a purple heart recipient and veteran of the iraq war. she's the only finalist with military experience. duckworth is one of several candidates of color under consideration. both the biden campaign and a spokesman for duckworth declined to comment to post. >>> let's get a check on your weather now with nbc meteorologist bill karins. bill? ? >> good monday morning to you, again, alicia. over the weekend i was off. this is the time we track covid numbers every single day. i needed that last week to try to kind of ignore the numbers, but it was so hard when we saw the spike in cases. even over the fourth of jushlg florida reported over 11,000 new cases in one day. that was only 200 less than new york city's max day. it gives you some perspective of where we've gone. yesterday we had 44,530 new cases reported. that broke our sunday record by 4,0 4,000. we're getting close to 1% of our country that has tested positive for covid-19.

i mean, because we knew at the time that senate democratic leader, now-retired harry reid, he was briefed on this in august of '16. no republicans knew about this. except for john mccain later in the fall. so this is, these are all questions that remain. they need to be answered. when we continue to fight every single day, lou, to get these answers. i want you and your viewers to know there's not a day goes by, seven days a week, me and my team, the house republicans, are working on this, and we will work with anyone who wants to get to the truth. lou: and i want to ask you about that very quickly, we've got just a few seconds here remaining. but john durham's investigation, i want to take your temperature as i always do on whether or not you now think something will come of it and will it be before the election. >> yeah, look, i'm confident that durham's doing a thorough investigation. people have to remember this is a sprawling investigation that stretches on from 2015 to the mueller probe. so he's got to get it right. what i worry about is this next election is critical because if bide

democratic harry reid would deliver lengthy floor speeches railing against redskins owner dan snyder. reid would say the name desecrated native americans. >> during the time i was there, kept hoping publicly would lose all their games. i doubt if i had anything to do with it. they didn't have a winning season for a long time after that. reporter: the team is looking to move back to washington, d.c. rfk stadium where they used to play will be raised next year. that is one of the cites the team is looking at. eleanor holmes norton, nonvoting member of congress will put through a bill to build the stadium on the old site where rfk stands currently but they have to change the team name. the path back to washington, d.c., redskins, the team, it will go through the halls of congress. connell. connell: interesting story. even if they don't come back to the district, seems like the name is on its way out. chad pergram on capitol hill. jackie. jackie: racing against the clock. since april third the paycheck protection program gotten more than $521 billion in low interest loans out to more than

when harry reid ran the senate, speaker pelosi was in charge of president obama, their idea of great weekly bonus from the federal government was only $25 in the 2009 recession. look, we need to have some replacement of wages here but we've also got to have incentive to get people back to work. david: finally, there is a huge money difference between the republican plan which is one trillion dollars, no small change and democrat plan which is $3 trillion. one of those trillions the democrats want would go directly, money directly to states and municipalities, a trillion dollars for states and municipalities. republicans say that money would basically go to cover up bad spending habits of democrat-run states and cities. how will that end up? >> we've approach rated a trillion dollars that went out to the our states to support education and other covid priorities and we're prepared to do more for education. but i think the best solution for general state revenues is let's take the $150 billion that we gave cities and states in the cares act, we have more freedom and nor flexibility to

john summers, former communications director to harry reid. john, why are democrats doing this? >> i think it's important to recognize that boycotts are very rarely successful. as we all know. they're also not limited to one political ideology. colin kaepernick, nike, nfl, we've seen it with president trump attempting to ban tiktok, and even evangelicals going after howard stern to get him off the air. this isn't something that is unique to one political party or ideology. i think the authors of the letter aren't wrong. in america you have the right to say about anything you want, but people of the right to hold you accountable. >> harris: kevin? >> not only are boycotts sometimes unwise, they can be flat out crazy. what we have seen in the american culture over the last six weeks, since the death of george floyd has spoken loudly to this. their bed calls to cancel everything. this last weekend disney launched hamilton on its streaming service, 74% increase and downloads, and you had people saying cancel hamilton. this has gone way too far. find a happy opinion, but when we stop

and we've seen former senate majority leader harry reid has been in direct contact with the biden campaign talking in an interview a lot of attention lately on duckworth. what are you seeing? >> look, i think the democratic party and joe biden in particular has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to selection for a vice president. i think the big issue on the table is whether it was going to be a woman. what woman? well, he put that aside by saying that he would choose a woman, and there are any number of women in my view who have the requisite experience, pluses and minuses and so i've actually decided no the to get invested in who that woman should be, because i think the most important thing is for joe biden to choose somebody he can govern with. not just someone he can campaign with. but he can govern, with a govern agenda that's really strong and making sure that we put the country on a pathway that isn't just about re-creating the past, but really building a future that includes a future for all americans and i think he should choose someone he can work with to get that job done

reid, also diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. reid's cancer now in remission. trebek is seeing some positive results so far. >> they do a blood test. >> to see what my ca-19 numbers are. and the ca-19 numbers are an indicator of how your pancreatic cancer is progressing. eight weeks ago, the numbers were at about 3,500. now they're below 100. so i'm going in the right direction. >> reporter: trebek is also now doing something he said he never would, releasing a memoir entitled "the answer is: reflections on my life," giving his fans a glimpse of the man they've welcomed into their living rooms for years. >> i've said to myself, hey, you better start getting your affairs in order. and i know exactly what i need to do, but i have yet to do it. so there's something in the back of my mind that says, whoa, hold on a second, maybe you're going to be around for a little while longer. >> you're 80, going strong, 36 years on the show. >> yep. >> and all you've gone through, and you look great, sound great. >> here i am, folks. eat me up.

years later, harry reid used his position to routinely rail against the redskins on the senate floor. >> for far too long annabelle has been sitting on its hands doing nothing while an entire population of americans has been denigrated. >> he said the team would lose every game, although frankly the redskins didn't need intercessions from him. >> one of my disappointment from a senatorial tenure was the fact that we did not get this done during the time i was there. >> the team hopes to return to washington, maybe building the stadium where the rats can choose to play, d.c.'s -- eleanor holmes norton -- repurpose the rfk location but retires team owner dan snyder to change the name. >> the washington football team desperately wants to use that -- snyder desperately wants to come back to washington. >> campbell says if the name changes his lengthy campaign was worth it. >> in terms of leaders of america, they've been here 20,0020 --they might just say ty outlasted them. >> if the redskins do change the name, the path back to washington, d.c., runs right through the halls of congress. s

i'm with former senate majority leader harry reid who says he believes in extraterrestrial life. >> i believe, as well. president trump has said he's learned interesting things about roswell, area 51. i'm looking forward to that press conference if it materializes. i think a certain singer has fans in a frenzy? >> swifties, tony, swifties. they're going crazy. they waited up all night for taylor swift to drop her album "folklore." ♪ i knew you playing hide and seek and giving me a weekend ♪ ♪ i knew you your heartbeat on the high line once in 20 lifetimes ♪ >> to top it off, swift also release thursday music video for her new song "cardigan." my weekend project is figuring out how to grow moss on one of my guitars. of course the twitter verse is going crazy over these new jams, gayle. >> yeah. i mean, number one, sounds like she took a page out of the beyonce book. you release the video -- this album all intact at once, surprising everybody. i can't wait to hear it. i can't wait to hear it. and go taylor swift. >> yeah. the fans are loving it on twitter. it's been a real -- a

reid, also diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. reid's cancer now in remission. trebek is seeing some positive results so far. >> they do a blood test to see what my ca-19 numbers are and the ca-19 numbers are an indicator of how your pancreatic cancer is progressing. eight weeks ago, the numbers were at about 3,500. now they're below 100, so i'm going in the right direction. the doctors have said they have never seen a chart like mine because there are peaks. i said what do you mean you don't see that that often? what do you usually see? they usually see it going up. i'm a bit of an anomaly. >> from 3,500 to 100 sounds phenomenal. >> yeah. >> to me, right? >> yeah. >> okay, forgive me, i'm not saying we should pop champagne but this all sounds like good news to me. >> yeah. i'm on the right track. >> you buried the lede, my man, this is all good stuff, is it not? >> well, as i mentioned earlier, there are good days and there are bad days. >> okay. >> so i take into account the bad days. >> oh, my goodness gracious. >> now the pess

harry reid, who's been in direct contact with the campaign about the search said in a recent interview said there's a lot of attention on duckworth who he called a highly decorated woman. she's a purple heart recipient and veteran of the iraq war and the only finalist with combat experience. senator duckworth is also one of the several candidates of color under consideration. but a spokesperson for the biden campaign and duckworth declined to comment to the post. they float these names out there to show they're considering a wide range of people. where is your read on this? where does senator duckworth fit in a conversation with kamala harris, elizabeth warren, val demings, where do you see senator duckworth in that conversation? >> as you said, a fluid process. we watch this every cycle. what was interesting in that reporting was part of the conversation being what republicans, the trump re-election committee hopes to see, they want a vice presidential pick they feel they can go after, launch negative attacks on. that's difficult with senator duckworth given her history of service. so

. >> senator kamala harris. >> joy reid. >> thank you for being here in this beautiful capitol. >> what i think people are afraid of is the constitution did not anticipate someone like donald trump who doesn't respect it and doesn't respect the laws. >> the founding fathers did anticipate that we could have somebody like this, so that's why they lay it out why we ought to consider impeachment. >> i say to little girls, my name is elizabeth, i'm running for president, because that's what girls do. >> no person, no matter what position he holds is above the law. there has to be consequences and impeachment is the only way we're going to get the facts, the evidence, the truth necessary to make sure that we save this democracy. >> i have no idea why they follow him because he's not even a good gangster. in the real gangster world he wouldn't last long. >> donald j. trump is just the third president ever in the history of the united states to be impeached, and notably the only president to be impeached for damaging national security by soliciting foreign interference in a u.s. election. >> g
