rachel, i'm sorry. rachel? >> rachel: i was just going to say, biden said he had the playbook on what to do with this virus. he was the person that was criticizing the president, calling him a racist for blocking the flights from china. i don't know if it wasn't his playbook to put race and racial accusations before the lives of americans, but we all know that was something even dr. fauci said didn't need to happen, and we now know it saved countless lives. i don't know if we can trust biden on this. i think we are learning a lot as we move along, and i think it is very difficult to look at the number of cases, which scares people as these numbers grow, without looking at the death rate and so many people that aren't actually dying from it. to not scare people, because we know a lot more people are going to die from poverty and hunger worldwide because of the effects of coronavirus, than they ever will from the symptoms of coronavirus. >> harris: food insecurity, those things melissa was talking about, the econ

"the rachel maddow show" starts right now. good evening, rachel. >> good evening, chris. thanks, my friend. i appreciate it. and thanks to you at home nor joining us this hour. we're really happy to have you with us tonight. it is thursday, july 2nd, and tonight i am happy to report that we have crunched the numbers. we have gone over them closely, very closely. in keeping with the times, we've actually even made a graph to help our understanding of these numbers. but according to our very, very, very careful calculations, we hear at "the rachel maddow show" have determined that we, us, our collective humanity, we have arrived finally at the halfway point of 2020. you guys, technically, as of today, we are halfway threre. it's a leap year there aren't 365 days this year. there are 366. at least there will be by the time we get to the end of it there will be 366 days by the end of this year. divide by two to find the halfway point. that's 183 days. count up all the days we had so far. yesterday was day 183. that means at midnight we hit day 184. which means we have made it

and let's take a global view on this, rachel. as you've pointed out, we are now into month six of the worst pandemic this country has endured in a century. and around the world we see so many countries that's got to the other side of this crisis, cases going down. countries in europe and in asia, australia, new zealand. but here in the united states, we have trends going the wrong way. we've been setting records over the last several weeks as you've noted. some 55,000 new cases today. my good friend dr. fauci is concerned about those numbers rising to 100,000 new cases sooner rather than later. so this is really alarming. you have to ask yourself why aren't we getting a better handle on this pandemic right now? and it's because other countries have realized the power of prevention, the power of public health. right now, as you know, we don't have a vaccine yet although there's a lot of research. we don't have a cure yet although we have some great advancements in therapeutics. but what we have is the power of public health, socia

with me are author and journalist rachel shabi, and anna mikhailova, deputy political editor at the daily telegraph. great to have you both with us. let's look at tomorrow's front pages. unsurprisingly, a lot of tomorrow's papers are leading with a variety of headlines around the chancellor's announcement today. the telegraph goes with "come dine with me" — as rishi sunak promises ot pay 50% of restaurant bills up to £10 a head... the i calls him the "half price meal deal chancellor." the mirror describes today's summer budget as "chicken feed." "grab a ten—pound rishi dishi" is the metro's take. the times says "sunak serves up 30 billion pound rescue." "lunch is on rishi" is the mail's headline. the financial times, meanwhile, says sunak‘s scheme to revive the economy will push borrowing past 350 billion pounds. and the guardian warns of mass unemployment fears despite the chancellors "plan forjobs". so those are some of the front pages we have already. let's start with the daily mail, one of many of those front pages which is having a lot of fun, actually, with this idea of a lun

rachel, over to you. rachel: thank you, heather. i will just offer some brief remarks about what we saw in the u.k. case study and then turn it over to ambassador pierce before we go into discussion. when we looked at the u.k. case study we saw two russian objectives in particular. the first was to weaken the u.k. internally. so this was magnified in things like accentuating existing divisions between leave and remain, rural and urban divides, even those in scotland who preferred to separate from the united kingdom rather than remain. the first was to weaken the u.k. internally. the second was the related objectives, and that was to diminish the uk's place in the world. so, the influence activities that fell in this bucket were related to nato, the european union, and the relationship with the united states. clearly russia recognized that the u.k. is made even stronger by its membership in nato and until recently the european union, and its uniquely close relationship with the united states. so those were targets of influence activi

america correspondent rachel weapons. welcome rachel thank you so much for having me. so. what is the official word that's been from all sides right so we've heard president come out and say that he denies this report tonight as of course that he was briefed and his claim that he made on twitter was really interesting because he went on to say that he talked to intelligence officials and they claim that they decided not to brief him on it because they saw the claims and they didn't think that they were credible and then of course he went on to go after the new york times claiming that they just wanted to publish this because they don't like him you know and that's kind of the road that he takes and it's interesting because then we see the response from russia and a spokesperson for president putin spoke out of and he said that he also denies these claims he denies that russia was involved in any of this and then he also went after the new york times by saying that they have published a number of false reports specifically about russia in recent years now it's interesting b
