laith alkhouri, thank you for being here. that does it for our coverage this hour. i'm kate snow. "hardball" starts right now. >>> trump attacks left and right. let's play "hardball." >>> good evening. i'm chris matthews. we are covering the hostage situation in bangladesh, of course, where as many as nine gunmen have taken hostages at a cafe in that diplomatic zone of the capital city. but our big story again tonight is political. it's here at home. donald trump, whether you're gaga for him or terrified against him is something we haven't seen quite before. he's taking on the big business types who love getting cheap labor here or even cheaper abroad. he's taking on the liberals and also the business types who love loose borders, taking on the neocons and other hawks, the bushes and others who look for every chance to jam us into yet another foreign war. this week, his focus was economic nationalism. >> we're being destroyed by trade which we will talk about. we are being destroyed at our borders. tpp will destroy you, folks. it will destroy you. it will take any vestige we have
