wallace starts right now. >>> hi, everyone, it's 4:00 in new york. donald trump's visit to the south of france for this year's g7 summit ended earlier today with america's closest allies essentially resorting to a strategy of speaking in soothing tones and sharing warm and fuzzies with the american president to avoid stoking his ire. "the new york times" describes the world's approach to donald trump this way, quote, ever so gingerly as if determined not to rouse the american's well-known temper. the other group of seven leaders thought to nudge them toward their views on the pressing issues of the day, or at least register their differences while making sure to wrap him in a french crepe of flattery, which he prefers. prp tends to hear what he wants to hear in settings like this and that tale of two summits was on full display as detailed on the atlantic reporting this weekend, quote, there are in effect two different summits under way, one that's happening in president donald trump's mind. and another that is actually happening, like on the ground. there's the summit trump is

icharus reference. does that is make donald trump the sun or datyllus? >> if you three too close to trump you burn, i don't know. we could do this metaphor all day. >> i love good metaphors and love listening to "meet the press" daily". good to see you. we have a lot in tonight's show. a couple different things. donald trump pushing a foreign government to take sides in a feud with domestic rivals. an important story. later, trump's allies worrying that new market jitters could undercut his re-election strategies. i'm also going to be joined by a former trump casino executive about trump's gambling approach to business and how it shows how he's gambling in the trade wars and the great dalia lithwick is here on justice in the trump era. now to our top story. donald trump asking a foreign government to undercut democratic opponents at home. this isn't a story about russia if you're listening or a story about trump admitting he's open to foreign help in the 2020 campaign. those are two times that trump has faced bipartisan rebukes for welcoming help from russia. tonight it's president

related to president trump and his business. those banks so far have been unwilling to tell the court whether the financial documents they have about president trump their tax returns, and if so, whether they would be handing those over to congress, too. but even though those banks have been resistant, they have to tell the court one way or the other by tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. eastern. we expect those to be public filings. so that could end up being a big deal. keep an eye out for that. that does it for us tonight. we'll see you again tomorrow. now it's time for "the last word with lawrence o'donnell." >> this announcement by the president that he wants to have, when he's host of the g7 next year, he wants to have it on one of his own properties, continues this phenomenon of possible trump crimes committed in public, therefore, they're not crimes just by doing them in public. emolument clauses we can't say if they're legal for the president, but it certainly appears to be, it certainly might be, and there certainly is no other president in history who would run the risk of appearing to

[indiscernible] president trump: which process are we talking about? i felt congressman ratcliff was being treated very unfairly. i think i am a student of the press, and i could see that the press was treating him very on rarely. he is an outstanding man. i said, do you want to go with this for two or three months or do something else? he thought about it. he said it is going to be rough, i can see where the press is going. fake news. he is a fine man. so we had started the process, and i thought it was easier before we start. but i read things that were just unfair, and he is just too good. he doesn't deserve it. -- rters memo [reporters shouting questions] [indiscernible] president trump: i like sue gordon. she is there now. and i like her very much. i have always liked sue gordon. it could be. we will make another choice. sue is there now, and certainly she will be considered for the acting. back at happen. we will probably be talking about it either later today or early next week. >> [indiscernible] president trump: i

. that confirmation comes on the same day donald trump promises, as he did after the parkland shooting, to do something on guns despite being warned not to by the nra. >> i have a lot of respect for the people at the nra and have spoken to them on numerous occasions. and, frankly, we need intelligent background checks. >> welcome words if they prove true but we've heard those words before from this president in the wake of the tragic mass shooting that killed 14 high school students and 3 adults in parkland, florida. here's the president after that shooting. >> we will do very strong background checks, very strong emphasis on the mental health of somebody and we're going to do plenty of other things. it's not going to be talk like it has been in the past. it's been going on too long, too many instances and we're going to get it done. >> so the press is out with a fact check of that promise after parkland for very strong background checks. ap writes this -- quote, trump later retreated, expressing support for modest changes to the federal background check system and for arming teachers.

what's the top story. that's sort of a trick question today. is it the trump administration pulling millions of dollars from fema to send to the southern border. is it the president reportedly promising to pardon aides who break the law by fast tracking the border wall for him. is it the president's push to host an international summit at his own struggling golf resort. is it the attorney general booking the president's hotel in washington, d.c. for a holiday party. is it the president's desperate attempt to keep deutsche bank from handing over his tax returns to house investigators along with family members tax returns. is it the soviet style bailout to american farmers or is the new pictures showing north korea, maybe building a submarine capable of launching nuclear missiles could be the top story. what is the top story? all of the above. and the democrats race to replace donald trump as president. and on that front, joe biden maintains an 18-point lead among the crowded democratic primary field. according to a brand new usa today suffolk university poll just out this morning. 32

a.m. on c-span's washington journal and on c-span 3. >> president trump talked about afghanistan, china, the economy, israel and other issues in morris town, new jersey, as he was headed back to the white house. this is almost 40 minutes. president trump: we had a lot of meetings yesterday on afghanistan and the economy which is doing very well. we have the strongest economy by far in the world. the tariffs have cost nothing in my opinion or certainly very little. we have import prices from and through july, all the way through july and they're down 1.8% so that the import prices have actually gone down. china is eating the tariffs because of monetary manipulation and also, they're pouring a lot of money in their country because they don't want to lose jobs. they're losing, as you probably know because they reported it but lost over two million jobs in a short period of time and want to make a deal and we'll see what happens but they definitely want to make a deal. i'd like to see hong kong worked out in a humanitarian fashion and hope president depmbings i can do it. he has the

purchasing a gun. live coverage begins september 4 on c-span. >> today, president trump and french president emmanuel macron held a joint news conference at the end of the g7 summit. president macron announced he's open to meeting with the u.s. and iran to discuss nuclear security. following their joint news conference, president trump continues to answer questions from the press. [applause] >> mr. president, madam first lady, ladies and gentlemen, following this g7 meeting we have just held, and we have been discussing for two days now, i am going to report back to you. first of all, i would like to thank president trump and all the heads of state of government. they are here for the extremely productive work and productive discussions that have been had since saturday evening together. there was a lot of nervousness at the outset, a lot of expectations, a lot of tensions, and a lot of conflict. i can say that what we really working -- were keen to convey a positive and joint message following our discussion. discussions on several topics. we haven't negotiated a very long text as

embarrassment for the white house. and president trump. by the way another example of the failure of the white house vetter process. congressman ratcliffe a texas republican the president chose to just a few days ago to be the next director of national intelligence. he was forced to withdraw his name from consideration. even before he was officially nominated. sources tell cnn that trump was privately voicing concerns about whether ratcliffe could be confirmed with good reason. not only were senate democrats lining up to oppose his nomination. but one republican senate source told us that there was no support for ratcliffe on their side of the aisle either. there were concerns about hisla experience. and questions about whether he exaggerated his professional background. but, incredibly president trump ignored those concerns at least publicly. and blaming ratcliffe withdrawal on his target. the media. and stories that were being reported. >> i said do you want to go through this for two or three months? you want me to maybe do something else. he thought about it. i said it will be rough.

trump administration that they didn't announce but it came to light when families of seriously ill children started getting letters last week from the trump administration telling these families that although they may have had permission to stay in this country before, specifically because their children were receiving advanced and life saving medical treatment here, the trump administration, according to these letters, no longer respects that and so these parents are now being told to take their kids out of medical treatment, which in some cases will result in the deaths of these children. trump administration is now sending these letters telling these parents to take their kids out of medical treatment and get out of the country by next month. so this story perced in the local press in massachusetts first, in the boston area, and then in florida yesterday. well, as i said that we should maybe anticipate, we are now seeing big-time national coverage as people start to realize what exactly the trump administration is doing here even though they never made a policy announcement that

. >> [indiscernible] >> following those remarks, president trump spoke at the american veterans national convention in louisville kentucky. he discussed the investment his administration has made into modernizing the military. the president also signed an executive memorandum for giving the student loan debt of approximately 25,000 permanently disabled veterans. >> mx headquarters has worked closely with the current administration to develop better accountability, better transparency, or access to high-quality health care, and to protect the benefits our veterans have earned. the white house and not amvets continue working together to improve the lives of our veterans and their veterans. -- and their families. we are grateful our keynote speaker has traveled from washington, d.c. to tell us about his efforts and continue helping us tackle the veteran suicide epidemic. ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor and privilege to welcome to the 75th national convention here in louisville kentucky, the 45th president of the united states of the american cash of america. the command -- of united st

president trump i don't think is a person that will get us there. >> we will end on remembering those people who lost their lives in dayton and el paso so that perhaps the response that americans have had to these things in the past will come true. these are the people who lost their lives in the story that we are talking about. anna maria, the co-director for the centers of democracy. "deadline: white house" begins right now. >>> hi, everyone, it's 4:00 in new york. donald trump is on his way to el paso, texas, where deep divisions away him. we will take you there momentarily. >>> but we start with the case against donald trump delivered in a forceful speech this afternoon by democratic front-runner, former vice president joe biden. the president's attention is also on joe biden this afternoon. the president lashing out against biden on twitter during the speech from aboard air force one between visits to two grieving communities. the vice president today laying this politically fraught moment in america squarely at donald trump's feet. >> charlottesville was no isolated incide

" with chris matthews is up next. >>> trump goes to war. let's play "hardball." >> good evening. i'm chris matthews in washington. in a wild escalation of his political wars, the president of the united states urged a foreign country to bar its doors from members of the united states congress. at the president's urging, that country agreed to do it. the astounding chain of events began with a tweet, of course. president trump wrote, "it would show great weakness if israel allowed representative omar and representative tlaib to visit. they hate israel and all jewish people." well, shortly after that, prime minister benjamin netanyahu officially barred the two lawmakers. he argued it was due to their support for a pro-palestinian boycott movement in israel which under israeli law is bounds for banning. but israel's actions urged on by trump was a reversal from israel israel's position a few days before. israel's ambassador to the u.s. said last month israel will not block omar and tlaib from coming into the country. he said at the time out of respect for the u.s. congress and the great

incredible part is, for me at least, you adopt trump saying, you know what, let's get russia back into the ga. never mind the fact that the guy i pointed to run the fbi, the one to run the cia, dni, everybody involved. >> history. >> kirstjen nielsen, everybody, pompeo, everybody said russia's trying to undermine american democracy. let's get them into ga, and blame it on obama that they left, in fact when it was because they were shooting down commercial aircrafts and inkr invading sovereign countries. the president of the united states said i think we're going to leave afghanistan and let the russians go back in there. it didn't work out well. if they want to go back in, they can, mind you, it was donald trump who also said the russians can go back into the middle east and they did. first time since 1973, and that is causing us problems every single day, so i would love for trump defenders, i would love for the vice president, i would love for anybody who was hoping to seek the presidency after donald trump leaves office. would love for them to come out and explain to the rest of us what

himself to be up into a meeting happening, and president trump has been saying that he's put forward sanctions but is ready to have a meeting to make it deal. i think we are making progress. i want this meeting to happen, and i want there to be an agreement between the united states and iran, and france will play a role, along with all of the other signatory powers and permanent numbers of the security council. iran is a country that is not the same country that it was to and a half years ago when i came into office. state ofthe number one terror throughout the world. there were 18 sites of confliction in my first week when i spoke with the folks at the pentagon, including lots of generals and other military experts. 18 sites of confliction, meaning 18 sites of big problems. every of them was backed by iran , or in some cases, actually using iranian soldiers, but at a minimum, iranian wealth, much of it given in the ridiculous deal where they were given $150 billion plus $1.8 billion in cash, and they used that money for some bad purposes. with that being said, i think iran is a coun

chris matthews in washington. president trump is still on the ground in el paso, texas right now. the second leg of his trip to console and memorialize the victims of this weekend's mass shootings. trump's violents came against the backdrop of public anger over his racially divisive language and inaction on guns. we saw that in the protests that greeted him today. but trump doubled down again against his critics this morning, telling reporters that his rhetoric unifies people. >> what do you say to your critics that believe that your rhetoric is emboldening white nationalists and inspiring this anger? >> so my critics are political people. they're trying to make points. in many cases, they're running for president and they're very low in the polls. a couple of them in particular very low in the polls. i think my rhetoric -- it brings people together. >> as the president met along with the victims in dayton, ohio and in el paso, texas, demonstrators in both cities made clear they viewed trump as part of the problem. actually, trump made the point for them. on a day meant for mourning,

nation. that is what i believe donald trump has chosen to do. when he said after charlottesville, there were, and i quote, "very fine people on sides," i said then that it gave license and safe harbor to white supremacists and neo-nazis, to the ku klux klan. these words not only stunned america, but they stunned the world. and in doing so, he has signed a moral equivalence between those spewing hate and those with the courage to stand against it. i said at the time, we are in the battle for the soul of the nation. i said it again when i announced my candidacy. and i say it here today. we are in a battle for the soul of this nation. that's why, primarily, i'm running for president. [applause] charlottesville was no isolated incident. when trump announced he was running for president, he called mexicans rapists. days before the midterm he formatted fear is -- fomented fears of a caravan headed to the united states and created said, look,n he look at what's marching up, this is an invasion. he asserted that immigrants would "carve you up with a knife." more recently he called a majo

james fallows wrote in a great piece in "the atlantic," if donald trump was in virtually any other position of responsibility, his increasingly deranged outburst would be grounds for removal. the board at a public company would have replaced him outright or arranged a discreet shift out of power. the chain of command at the navy or at an airline or in the hospital would at least call a time-out and check his fitness before putting him back on the bridge or in the cockpit or in the operating room. to be clear, donald trump has been saying strange, racist, narcissistic things for a really long time. he said outrageous things literally almost every day since he started running for president and was sworn in. something seemed to become unhinged. it happened simultaneously with troubling economic news, that we might be on the brink of recession, caused in part by trump's decision to launch a trade war with china. trump made things worse with more weird pronouncements. on friday the stock market plummeted after trump attacked his own fed chair as an enemy and tweeted he was hereby orderi
