bannon beats trump. he is so preoccupied with how he'll look and worried about looking weak and a quote/unquote loser trying to preempt that already saying he supports the guy. >> ej, remind me of the french election and supported lepen and she lost and he said i was always behind you to the guy that won. it is really won. >> don't seek an endorsement from donald trump. what's really interesting here is that this is the donald trump/steve bannon primary. the financial times put it. steve bannon would like to show trump that his people are forhim not because he's trump. he can't do anything. they won't follow him anywhere. they're for him because of far right nationalist christian views. and so, if moore wins, it will be seen certainly by breitbart and steve bannon, a victory for their strategy and if strange pulls this out actually then trump will be able to say they're with me. i can pull anybody over the line. so this has some real implications for the -- total workings of donald trump head, but also,

trump, jr. is giving up secret service protection. now, the president's eldest son elected to forgo this service. trump, jr. lives in new york city, works at the trump organization, avid camper and hunter and says he wants more privacy than he can get with a bunch of agents following him. >> trevor: i love as donald, jr. is giving up security, they're reporting exactly where he will be and when. ( laughter ) donald trump, jr. will no longer be protected. he won't be protected when he was at work in trump tower, new york city or home on sutton place. and this is his phone number and don't forget he will be completely unguarded while camping in the berkshires! when donald trump, jr. heard this i bet he was, like, can i get them back?! being followed all the time has to be ayou noiing. he used to be able to go out in the woods and spend time alone with his favorite log, yeah? ( laughter ) then all of a sudden he had to share log. awww... yes, but now he's out there on his own. don't worry about his

does donald trump care? well, one aide says that you can hardly remember the last time trump seemed this most pleased. according to daily beast report and a main reason here might be, guess what, the positive press which donald trump may actually prize more than loyalty to his congressional republicans. one gop operative on this point explaining we got used to the new normal of chaos. maybe the new, new normal is betrayal for really no reason. another factor here that's interesting that we have been unpacking, trump may be insulated from some of this allegedly bad news. you may know about it. i may know about it. he may not. quote, instead of being able to march into the oval office and hand trump the latesthead line or printouts of tweets showing how bad the amnesty drive is playing, aides opposing this decision now have to go through a process implemented by, of course, john kelly, the general submitting officially documented requests to get a presidential meeting and trump is now getting mostly positive f

we will cover that protest outside trump tower as president trump himself u.n. is speaking at the u.n. general assembly -- himself is speaking at the u.n. general assembly. this is democracy now! suinge come back, a daca the president. and president trump's childhood home is now an airbnb. oxfam rented it out last weekend so that immigrants, refugees, could sleep over and have a conversation about their dreams in this country. stay with us. ♪ [music break] amy: this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman with juan gonzalez. we are continuing to look at the struggle over daca. that's deferred action for childhood arrivals, which gives nearly 800,000 young people legal permission to live and work in the united states. on monday, six dreamers sued the recipients sued the trump administration over its plans to rescind the program. the lawsuit argues the trump administration failed to follow proper administrative procedures in rescinding daca and that revoking the program violates due process laws. daca was instituted by the

thanks to president trump. every time he said that, every congressional republican knew that that was a lie. they all knew that replacing and repealing obamacare is the opposite, taking health care coverage away from tens of millions of people and donald trump made a very difficult legislative crusade impossible. and so, it is now with zero confidence in donald trump's ability to lead legislative crusade that the republicans today began doing what they love to do. the thing they know how to do. cut taxes. but if you listen to paul ryan and mitch mcconnell, they're not proposing a tax cut. they're proposing something much more high minded. not a tax cut, not a giveaway to the rich. they're proposing tax reform. they're following in the footsteps of ronald reagan who led the congress on what turned out to be successful tax reform in 1986. in which income tax rates were lowered but many deductions were eliminated so that the government took in about the same amount of revenue. it was a genuine attempt to make the

of the trump campaign. he grew up in richmond, virginia, went to virginia tech, georgetown and harvard business school. he worked for goldman sachs, became a filmmaker. last week i went to washington to talk with steve bannon about politics, economic nationalism, about president trump and about other issues that face this country. we recorded the conversation at his home which is also the office for breitbart news. two segments of that conversation appeared on "60 minutes" last night. here's an excerpt from that broadcast. >> donald trump's a fighter, great counterpuncher, great counterpincher. he's a fighter. i'm going to be his wink man from the outside the entire time. >> rose: you will not be attacking donald trump. >> no, our purpose is to support donald trump. by the way -- >> rose: and destroy his enemies? >> to make sure his enemies know that there is no free shot or goal. after the charlottesville situation, i was the only guy who defended him, who said he's talking about something, taking it to a

trump justice department debunks president trump's tweets in court, but that doesn't mean the trump supporters now have to believe that the trump tweets were not true, because this is the country where the truth is what you say it is. that is the case made by curt anderson in his brilliant book "fantasyland" about how america wenthaywire. that history tells us exactly how we got a president trump. it tells us marco rubio can stand on the stage against donald trump and call him a fraud and a con man and be right about that, and still lose to donald trump in the republican primaries. in my own analysis on this program of how we got a president trump, i looked at first the news media's treatment of the trump campaign, especially cable tv news, and then i looked back at sarah palin's vice presidential campaign where public ignorance was something republicans defended, and then i looked at entertainment television putting trump on tv as a reality tv star, and the embrace of reality tv. i kept looking back through time at our politics and our culture including our entertainment and our sports figure

trump told us he got the note but he -- well, you know trump. >> i just went to the oval office and found this beautiful letter from president obama. it was really very nice of him to do that, and we will cherish that and we will keep that, and we won't even tell the press what's in that letter. >> trevor: that was the third day of donald trump's presidency back when he had that new president smell, that was like 18 scandals ago. remember that? ( laughter ) trump said he was going to keep the letter from the press, so the guy is a man of his word so i guess we'll never know. >> president trump has since shown that letter to his white house visitors. ( crying ) i wish that letter was president! it's so much more qualified! (crying) ( laughter ) i don't know even know if trump realizes it, but that letter is just president obama throwing presidential shade the entire time. that's not the note you leave for your sucessor. you leave that note for a first time baby sitter. it's, like, dinner's in the oven -- ( laughter ) -- bedtime's at 7:00, but not for you and, oh, p.s., the baby is the one

look at the people around president trump. i have not seen a better national security team in my political lifetime. general mattis is an excellent secretary of defence, general kelly, the chief of staff, general mcmaster, dan coats, the director of national intelligence. so he has surrounded himself with very quality people who have a traditional view of the world, from a republican point of view, and i think we're going to be fine. well, it surprises me you say that, in a way, because if one looks at your own thoughts about donald trump, you have, over time, expressed your own grave reservations about his... every day! ..abilities as commander—in—chief? during the campaign, i thought some of the things he was saying, i thought were incendiary and unhelpful but now he is commander—in—chief and i would say this. the muslim ban was a shaky start. the courts rejected his efforts to restrict people coming into america because it appeared to be a ban on a religion and you can't do that in the united states. his decision in

donald trump lost it completely. he was in the oval office with mike pence and other aides about hiring a replacement for jim comey. the vacancy that set the special counsel appointment in motion. the times said he launched in a volley of insults, saying his appointment was one of the worst dirgss trump ever made. also calling him a quote, idiot and saying he should resign. we know in public trump says many things about russia. but this is fascinating and important potentially because it is in private. the "times" account saying trump saw this as basically the worst thing that his presidency and erupted in rare self-criticism about his decision to hire sessions. remember, trump could have asked jeff sessions about potential recusal before hiring. trump didn't do that simple thing because he wasn't prepared for the job interview and he shows little interest in staffing the federal government. this shows the response was to oust the attorney general so he could get a new one that would not be recused and thus give trum

donald trump says, yes. he says, yeah issue don't like fascists, i don't like nazi us but there are some fine people marching witch. the. at that point something big had to happen so steve bannon stepped out and so did sebastian gorka, but don't think for a second their ideas step out. the reason i profiled them in the book and why i don't mind who comes and goes to some extent is because these are people that donald trump embraced. these are people that he took lessons from and the truth of the matter is, steven miller is still there. if you think that steve bannon and sebastian gorka are scary, i invite you go back and looked ath at videos of steven miller. this this guy has moved on the hard right suns he was young teenager elm write about his journey and it is howeverring hn many ways baas this is someone who has gone way to the fringe on so many issues who is in a position of power. helping to write donald trump's inaugural address. helping to do the muslim ban, giving advice regarding the giorgio are -

trump to cancel golf with gregg norman, the australian golfer. instead, mr. trump stewed indoors. worrying about mr. comey and the russia investigation. mr. miller and mr. kushner both told the president that weekend they were in favor of firing mr. comey. mr. trump ordered mr. miller to draft a letter and dictated his unfettered thoughts. several people who saw mr. miller's multipage draft described it as a skreed. "the new york times" is reporting tonight that robert mueller has obtained a copy of that. according to "the new york times" sources the white house counsel managed to prevent the president from sending it to comey. again believing the letter was problematic. the white house staff were alarmed that the president made the decision on the unprecedented action of firing the fbi director after consultant consulting only his daughter, his son-in-law, and steven miller who has no legal training and like the daughter and son-in-law has absolutely no experience that would earn him a senior position in any white house other than the most out of control most incompetent white ho

trump. trump hasn't moved on from criticizing the press. this morning he tweeted the russian hoax continues and now it's ads on facebook. what about the dishonest media coverage in favor of crooked hillary? and the morning the book came out president trump tweeted fascinating to see people writing books about me and yet they know nothing about me and have zero access. #fakenews. i'm joined by the writer, nbc's own katy tur. katy, i have been waiting for this book because -- >> you told me to write the book on like day one. >> i watched you as his weirdly focused nemesis and yet you were just reporting what he was saying. it was all fact. you're not a commentator. you ear a straight reporter. >> you always said that, that that is what bugs him more than the commentator, more than those on television during prime time. >> do you think he reads the op ed pages? >> i think he did early on because she had beef with charles krauthammer and david brooks and a few others. >> tell me about this. i think this the book -- you write like new journalism

trump plays his own. his politics on the identity politics front, people like me might interpret as being white identity politics. >> jesse: kimberly, what you think about all these actresses and actors? do you care about their political opinion? >> kimberly: excuse me? [laughter] >> kimberly: wow. apparently donald trump is the most interesting man in the world. right? he is the new dose iq sky. holding up the whole emmys last night. they wouldn't even have a show. it's unbelievable. alec baldwin won. he's a fascinating, modern president the tweets and says what he thinks and acts like a businessman versus a traditional politician. there's a lot of material to work with. we saw that last night. that's all they were talking about. >> dana: i also think that identity politics as part of it but i was on a plane last night, there are 500 channels you could watch. everyone was watching something different. on nfl. you don't have to watch the nfl game because you can watch it partly on your phone or somewhere

trump, good. bad for trump, bad. kind of shakes down that way. maybe because if you look at the pictures of joplin, missouri, when president obama went to joplin, there's like sort of a -- i don't know, maybe because he has younger children, he is a father, maybe because he grew up in difficult circumstance, he can relate to want, i don't know what it is. there was something sort of demonstratively different, even about george w. bush, very privileged. there's some crumb of humanity there. >> i think it is lack of humanity. when president obama came after superstorm sandy, and hugged people, emotion he had, everyone felt it. it was real. besides the optics, what i wish they would call on is his hypocrisy of the budget in may, cut $700 million for grants for the next city to be repaired. he brings ben carson there, ben carson is here, head of hud, we are going to rebuild places, $3 billion in grants for that. in his budget he cuts every penny for low income housing to be rebuilt after disaster. the

trump. he is just as you mentioned last night in alabama, wherever he goes, he is polarizing. he feels he is winning in a divide and conquer way. i worked on books on reagan before and reagan used to say, you have to have 50 percent of the box office to get something done. meaning that your post have to be if you want, in order to push policy through. donald trump is counseling operating with 35 to 40 percent and hence, nothing is getting done. but he still the headline news every day because of twitter and by claims that this cultural war like we so with roseville, you've seen with football, last night and i find it a bit reprehensible because it is pinning american against american in order to kind of be in charge and some of the you know it all began with this movement on obama. and with making mexican americans, latino and latinos for like lesser people. by not having a meeting with someone like john lewis to talk about civil rights. so we are in a really serious unprecedented as we say

trump." whoever it is, whether it is mike pence or anybody, how much of that can be repaired? because america is more than just one president. >> i think it can be repaired. i am confident in the united states that that could be repaired. all of our allies will come back to us. a weird aberration going on right now. they have their own problems. some of these countries have their own similar problems with great britain was the brexit debate and all. it is a confusing period of time, but i think we can right the ship and four years. in eight years, it may do permanent damage, but right now, we have earned enough credibility in the world to be iten the offer with him that just got out of control, particularly with the russia scandal, the internet. this was the of perfect storm of confusion, and this happens from time to time in world history. america will get a pass in a couple of years. very optimistic. we separate the russian people from the russian leaders. the iranian people, we have no gri

trump cams on daca. and amnesty's reporting is based on chuck schumer and nancy pelosi's dinner as reported by chuck schumer and nancy pelosi, they are breitbart sources on amnesty don caving on daca. amnesty, don, that's tonight's "last word." "the 11th hour" with brian williams is next. >>> tonight michael g flynn, the son of the fired national security adviser now a subject in the russia investigation and it certainly looks like robert mueller is applying pressure. plus, breaking tonight, chuck, nancy and donald have dinner at the white house and to listen to the democrats, schumer and pelosi, they got a lot of assurances from the president as the 11th hour gets under way right now. >> well, good evening to you once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. we have suddenly a lot of news breaking right now. we'll get to all of it, and we want to take a moment here before our political coverage to talk about this h

when trump tells the n.f.l. owners you should fire these players, if they don't fire the players they're basically going against the president, right? and if the players take a knee, now they're going against the president. but you realize until this weekend, the knee had nothing to do with the president. nothing at all to do with trump! ( applause ) at all! collin kaepernick started kneeling back when obama was in office. this had nothing to do with donald trump. luckily, to the n.f.l.'s credit, they stood up to the bully in chief. >> the president versus the players. hundreds of athletes sending a message to president trump. >> from coast to coast, even in london, players sending that message to the president from the football field linking arms like patriots quarterback tom brady, some kneeling, raising fists. >> the majority of football players choosing to stay in the locker room till after the anthem was over. some singers taking a knee along with players. >> owners throwing support behind their teams, from

trump's comments. we'll get response from former nfl player donte stallworth, the nation's sportswriter dave zirin, and dr. harry edwards, sociologist, author, sports activist and the architect of the 1968 olympic project human rights longtime staff consultant with the san francisco 49ers, advising colin kaepernick. he is the author of "the revolt of the black athlete." then we look at climate justice after hurricane harvey in the fenceline community of port arthur, texas, home e to the largest oil refinery in the coununtry. >> i see your smoke rising i in the air, 2:00, 3:00 in thehe mornining when using no one is there in the still of the night, my child starts to sneeze and the other starts to weeds. of your flame i've learned to ignore, even though its combustion vibrates my feet on the apartment floor. amy: we will speak with tilting kelly, who became the first african-american man to win the green nobel prize, the goldman environmental prize. he is from port arthur. all that and more, coming upup

donald trump would have made. how do you explain this? >> well i think that it's part of trump's try partisanship, if you will, there is a civil war going on, on the gop on the hill. i've got to tell you, former chair of the dc head of the party, be it local, state or federal, jumping into a primary race, pitting represents against represents almost never happens, there's a lot of political risks for donald trump here. he's got to support strange which is kind of strange, forgive the pun, it's kind of strange because if you listen to the politics of judge moore, and you look at the numbers, he's got about 40%. if donald trump was being consistent with trump land then he certainly would be he be doorsing moore, but he hasn't. it's going to be interesting not onlyt. tonight but whether moor wins or strange wins >>> but a couple things about that, tucker. [ laughter ] >> tucker: i'm sorry to cut you offensively sa, i think the president unexpect saidly has walked on. he's about ten minutes early. >> tucker, we will c

spoiler alert, trump wins. brieflyatie, take us , andbeing in the press pen in the hallway outside of morning joe, in new hampshire. katie: it's interesting to share that nickname with marco rubio and kim jong-un, who is also little rocket man. 2015, robert,f you can attest to this, not many folks were taking donald trump as a candidate seriously. , ands creating controversy nbc news dropped his news from the network. macy's was dropping him, univision was dropping him. nbc news said we have to have a reporter covering trump's campaign, and i was literally standing around the newsroom, so they assigned me to it. >> it takes six months? ms. tur: it was going to take six weeks, because he wasn't going to release his tax returns -- his financial information. surely, he would get laughed off stage. everybody was wrong about his prospects. we got lucky because we started taking it seriously much earlier than anyone else did. i would be following donald trump from campaign rally to campaign rally for months on end ,

trump. we'll show you that historic moment as it happened this morning on "fox & friends." today is only day of the trump tax cut crusade and one of the key players in the trump tax cut crusade is already skeptical about the trump tax proposal. any guesses who that might be? we're going to give you about a minute, maybe more to tweet us your guesses about who on team trump is already skeptical of the trump tax cut and the one hint that i can give you is the last name begins with a "t." >> tax reform is going to make health care look like a piece of cake. >> the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you have ever seen. >> there's not a table in here. it's unbelievable. they don't have the numbers. >> this is not a -- again, a tax reform. it's a tax giveaway's the the no a tax cut for the rich. >> the idea that the rich don't benefit from this is patently false. >> there's middle class families with a tax increase under this plan, right? >> there's an exception to every rule. >> that's a

trump. they only pay for legal fees related to the russia matter if your name is donald trump. one might imagine if you were sean spicer or mike pence or hope hicks or don or reince priebus or jared kushner or any of the other white house staffers who had to hire their own high-powered criminal defense lawyers on the russia matter, one might imagine that might be a sticking point, right? possibly a point of resentment that you're stuck paying what are likely to be millions of dollars for your own legal fees while the billionaire president and his son and heir donald trump junior get their legal bills covered by opm, not the office of personnel management but other people's money. how does that sit with you if you're looking at bankrupting your family to pay your legal fees for a scandal involving donald trump while donald trump doesn't have to pay a thing. as i say, there is always a personal dimension and stay tuned, we've got a little bit of news on that front and that seemingly unsustaina

but donald trump says yes. cryolite fascist or nazis but at that point something big had to change so steve bannon stepped out. so don't think for a second because these are people that donald trump that they took lessons from in the truth of the matter is that miller is still there. if you'd think steve bannon and gorka are scary go back and look at the videos of steve miller he has been a hard right since a young teenager. i write about his journey in the book it is such an example on so many issues ending up in a position of power and giving advice dollars -- donald trump has empowered people doing it without informed consent but has also brought people around him. if you like donald trump i am delighted yours your. so if you don't like donald trump if you choose to resist his must understand this. if all you do is resist donald trump then you are resisting it is like flipping the channel on television. you must understand why they are there and what they are going to do with those positions. you have to exp

. >> trump is endorsing strange. but moore is getting -- >> moore's going to win. >> he's ahead in the pole. >> the giks nar is having trouble keeping up with adding the new words that are coming up with. >> thank you very much. >>> when we return let me finish with trump watch. i think you'll like this one, you probably won't, but he can always larn from trump watch. you're watching "hardball." comfortable you are in it. so find a venus smooth that contours to curves, flexes for comfort, and has a disposable made for you. skin smoothing venus razors. advil liqui-gels minis. our first concentrated pill that rushes powerful relief. a small new size that's fast, cause it's liquid. woohoo! you'll ask, what pain? new advil liqui-gels minis. he's on his way to work in alaska. this is john. he's on his way to work in new mexico. willie and john both work for us, a business that employs over 90,000 people in the u.s. alone. we are the coca-cola company, and we make much more than our name suggests. we're an organic tea comp

my father is from brooklyn, so we know a lot about trump history, family, and trump himself. theind of knew a lot before election. so we understand what the problems were before the election happened. ofwere concerned about a lot issues on what was going to happen to our country and the country being divided. the problem with education's computers. there is no old math and problem solving. the new math changed the math of the old math and affected the education, including money throughout the country, including the job market and everything on top. i knew that was a problem. the problem is all these issues that trump is dealing with, it is putting the country into pot different directions -- and to two different directions and we do not know what we are going. guest: i think that is rightguest:, i think there is political confusion now. i think some of the biggest critics of donald trump are two conservatives. a lot of republicans do not like him as their standard bearer. the left, of course, despises him. i want to hone in on your comment on math. i was looking at once the s

donald trump, someone said it last night, donald trump was the biggest tv star in the last year. there's just no question. he gets more tv time than any of these people who were winning emmys last night and i think they references to him, including the award to alec baldwin for playing him on "saturday night live" for evidence, substantiation of how dominant a media figure donald trump is. it goes beyond television, and its overall dwindling audience, to other social media platforms. >> bret: there is a lot of reaction about the sean spicer appearance, a lot of folks saying that -- he shouldn't have been given that venue. to legitimize them. him, they said they say. others say it was a joke. he was just having fun. he should be able to do that after that job. your thoughts. >> there is a medium mob going after sean spicer on twitter, online, on television. tarring and feathering him over what was a joke. as if he should never be able to show his face in public again or tell a joke. it's almost like his detractors want him to wear a scarlet letter. i get the sensitivity because he

today, president trump undecided that. >> close to 1 million people in limbo, president trump ordered the rescinding of daca. >> but left it to attorney general jeff sessions to break the news. >> we are people of compassion and we are people of law, but there is nothing compassionate about the failure to enforce immigration laws. >> trevor: very smart, president trump. how do you soften the blow when telling the kids the bad news? you get one of santa's elves to do it. nicely played. plus, he can sneak in to the chimney to deport them. i see what you did there. ( laughter ) technically, jeff sessions is correct, the children were brought to the u.s. illegally but it's their parents who brought them here. it's not like it was their choice. i don't know any 8-year-old who's, like, no, momma, you go on without me. i'm going to stay in on diewrs and uphold the law. you go on. i know what jeff sessions wants me to do, momma, i'm staying here. ( laughter ) to be clear, even though these folks are commonly known as dreamers, they're also doers. dreamers serve in the military. dreamers are f

trump told mr. sessions that choosing him to be attorney general was one of the worst decisions he had made. called him an idiot and said that he should resign. mr. sessions told the president he would quit and sent a resignation later to the white house. according to four people, mr. sessions would later tell associates that the demeaning way the president addressed him was the most humiliating experience in decades of public life. and that's coming from a guy humiliated by the united states senate when the senate refused to confirm him as a federal judge in 1986. it was after that that jeff sessions got his revenge on the senate by running for a senate seat and winning. mr. trump ended up rejecting mr. sessions' may resignation letter after senior members of the administration team said it would only create more problems for a president who had already fired a fbi director, national security adviser. mr. trump once again in july told aides he wanted to remove mr. sessions but for a second time did

president trump. manafort earlier tonight put out a statement and is demanding an investigation into how this information was leaked to the press and also calling for the obama administration surveillance of a political opponent to be investigated also. also tonight, the doj did say earlier this month there was no evidence that president trump was directly targeted for surveillance but they did not specify if the president was incidentally caught up in this manafort wiretapped. for all of you lazy overpaid ideological liberal mainstream media people out there, you have now been exposed to the frauds you are. yet again. as we've been saying, the pious press is not interested in reporting the truth. in fact, the only care about spearing and delegitimizing president trump in this is more evidence. after president trump tweeted back in march, march 4th that he was wiretapped by president obama or people in the administration, the destroy-trump-media lost it. they were viciously mocking and attacking him.

trump's lost. >> trump knows it. bannon knows it. you know, i think -- >> he doesn't have a whiteboard? >> well, he had a whiteboard in the office with all of his to-do items on it. but it's less important about whether it's bannon or trump who is officially endorsed and roy moore is a demagogue and relates -- >> a lot of people believe this stuff. >> i think that's right. >> anti-gay -- he's the old testament version of trump. >> i think ideologically there is an argument that you could make that he's a bit closer to pence than trump. he's a conservative in a much sort of -- he really believes it in a way that trump has an ideological flexibility that we hear about so much. >> the reason trump endorsed strange in the first place was because he was easily manipulated. he had advisers bring his comments that were negative by trump and he said i don't like that. who else can i endorse? he endorsed strange not really knowing that moore was out there and likely to win. so he got himself in this box but you heard him today basically sayin

donald trump is donald trump's problem on this. and now donald trump and mitch mcconnell are both each other's problem. a problem that they both so well deserve. and their dysfunctional relationship is the very best thing that could possibly happen to the senate democrats' resistance to the trump agenda. joining us now is democratic senator maria cantwell from washington tonight. she is a member of the senate finance committee. senator cantwell, you saw something in that committee hearing room yesterday that that committee has never seen before. i think you might have had one or two arrests of individual voice of protest here and there in the last few years. but tell us what it was like to be in that room with that resistance rising against that bill and the -- watching the arrests that followed. >> well, good evening, lawrence. and it was a moment. i mentioned to my colleague, even though we had been there at the passage of the affordable care act, i wasn't so sure that wasn't the most dramatic moment of the history of this legisl

the very dishonest people are going to say trump, trump, trump. but we have done great together and we have done great over the last two months right here. this is our moment. this is your moment. this is a big day because you have a lot of people banking on somebody else's victory and thinking that will become democrats in the state of alabama. i don't think that is a good thing. [crowd booing] that is not a good thing. if this man wins, that race is over. if somebody else wins, that will be a tough race. every day we must fight for the change you have been waiting for your entire life. a government that serves you, protection family, and uphold your laws. always puts the needs of our citizens first. [cheers and applause] we are americans, and the future belongs to us. the future belongs to all of you, but we have got to go out and take it. we have got to go out and earn it. we have got to go out and vote. if we do not vote, it is not going to happen. on tuesday, vote for your country, vote for your family. vote for your victory. vote for luther

donald trump is most known for trump university, which fell , a ponzi scheme operation. i do not think people elected donald trump because they think voice for a great higher education. they hired him for economic reasons may be over racial reasons. everything is not donald trump. you have a great college university professor, a great college movement. purdue university this week starting to look at how you can do a three-year college, and get your good -- degree in three years. people in our armed forces are able to get college class work done while they are serving the country. a lot of exciting things going in the realm of learning. i think we need to talk about and prioritize more. we want a no child left behind policy. in themy early heroes state of mississippi in the civil rights movement had an algebra project. he astutely recognized that once kids do not take algebra, when they are no longer allowed, they cannot do the math and put in lower math classes, they are throwing litter chances for success in america. they need to be able to learn algebra to the advance

trump had lashed back at him. there's the prospect here if corker ran in 2018, is he going to have to face that same type of republican base tonight in alabama sided with roy moore over the incumbent there, luther strange. so instead bob corker, he's not going to run. and again we talk so much in 20150, 2012 about the republican base, about these tea party up risings in a number of parties that year and a number of primaries the republicans haven't won. that term isn't in our politics as much, but i think that anti-establishment spirit that caused the republican establishment so much grief in 2010, 2012, that's one of the things we're seeing tonight in alabama. that is very much out there. and that's going to be a factor in 2018, and potentially having an effect depending on what type of candidates are nominated, potentially having an effect in the general election. because that's one of the things going to be tested here in this general election with roy moore. do all the sort of controversial comments he'd made

>> donald trump jr. is going to be giving a speech at the university of north texas to the tune of 100 grand. and the questions will be provided to him in advance. >> evan? >> foreign policy circles are getting worried about china's aggressive expansion. they've been going using the one-belt policy to go into africa, greece, the bahamas, jamaica. >> that is going to do it for tonight. that's all for "hardball" right now. chris matthews, he returns next week. join him tuesday. special guest al frank. . the rachel maddow show starts now. >> thanks to you at home for joining us at this hour. rachel will be back next week. now we have a ton and a half to tell you about this evening. the white house has spent the week hinting and signaling about an eminent decision from the president on the fate of 800,000 young immigrants in this country. and tonight we have some surprising news from that story which we did not see coming and we'll be getting to that news tonight. but tonight the chemical plant that we've be

donald trump said that price -- donald trump is the one firing these people. >> i know. because when he -- that's why he's not being hypocritical. he's saying, look, if you are abusing the public trust, if you think that you're somehow royalty because you're in the government, no, that's not -- they're not going to tolerate that in the trump administration. i think it's appropriate. i don't like government officials abusing the public trust, and i think in this case the public trust was abused. >> david, i want you to weigh in on this because you've been sitting by just sort of watching this happen. with your popcorn. but listen, you say if president trump did this he wouldn't face any punishment. why not? >> well, the rules are different for the president. conflict of interest rules are different for the presidents because the people pick presidents. the cabinet officials are chosen by the president. they don't have the same level of accountability to people. so if president trump wants to fly back and forth to bedminster or mar-a-lago to visit his parties, that's a pol

trump campaign. it not very complicated. but i think in our current sort of one party rule in congress and the white house, they -- the political conerer statir conere conversation doesn't dig into the big pictures. >> will you sit there for one other second? i have one other thing i want to ask you about? >> of course. >> we'll be back after this. can we at least analyze can we push the offer online? legacy technology can handcuff any company. but "yes" is here. the new app will go live monday? yeah. with hewlett-packard enterprise, we're transforming the way we work. with the right mix of hybrid it, everything computes. what comes to mind when you think about healthcare? understanding your options? or, if you're getting the care you need? at aarpadvantages.com, you can find helpful information about healthcare options. leaving you more time to think about more important things. like not having to think about healthcare at all. surround yourself with healthy advantages at aarpadvantages.com/health.

trump was facing an insurrection. we saw that pretty graphically in ted cruz refusing to endorse him during the election. so my sense of this is, trump may have been a little more distant than others in his family who dealt with manafort directly. >> the one element of truth, when you watch those clips and they are astounding. we've seen it over and over again. which version of those events is true? was trump telling the truth when he was lavishing praise on manafort? or was he telling the truth when he said he didn't know him very well? the answer to that question is the one that tells the story in this case. >> your reporting and your help will ove will, thank you very much. >> how trump could suffer a bruising loss in alabama. aided and abetted by steve bannon. e thing still dragging on? no, i took some pics with the app and... filed a claim, but... you know how they send you money to cover repairs and... they took forever to pay you, right? no, i got paid right away, but... at the very end of it all, my agent... w

the trump people. more maybe just maybe it was the smell of the swamp as well. the smell of the rot at the top. a big shot using private and military jets to ease their official trips. maybe it was that, too, that led him to what he's just done. tonight president trump fired health and human services secretary tom price after price was unable
