trump. >> exactly right. the president of the united states in that clip you just showed admitted he doesn't know right from wrong. these foreign powers aren't coming to give him information because they're great people who want to do a good thing. they're coming because they want something. they want to affect the process. they want him to owe them on the ba back end. bipartisanly, if any normal sane, administration, would walk away and call the fbi. in the closest election of our lifetime, gore v. bush, someone sent the gore campaign a bunch of bush debate tapes. they immediately picked up the package and took it to the fbi. you don't accept these kind of things. it is ridiculous. as you know, i do a bunch of international campaigns now. foreign actors are in all of these elections and after what russia got for what they did in 2016, why wouldn't they? i mean, they're playing everywhere and the world's police cop, the united states, is out there saying it's okay. president of the united states, george steph

trump park? >> trump park. >> it's actually pretty nice looking. this is the crown jewel of the donald trump empire. >> this is where he made his mark. >> trump tower is the home base for donald trump and his sprawling real estate portfolio. this iconic building has served both as the setting of his popular reality show that aired on nbc, "the apprentice" -- >> you're fired. >> i am officially running -- >> and as the launch pad for the most inprobable presidential campaign to ever succeed. i mean, it does make you feel something when you drive by. look at all the different windows. who's paying what money to where inside that building? this is trump international? >> yep, hotel and tower. so there are apartments here. but it is also a hotel. >> i've never heard of one person that stayed in that hotel. >> saudis have stayed there. and not just any saudis. according to a letter obtained by nbc news, officials traveling with crown prince mohammad bin salman stayed at the trump international for fiv

it's not because trump -- not astonished trump would attempt to profit off of the presidency. we've seen lots of that. but the fact that the military is being enlisted in doing it. >> yes and that the military is apparently not peeping and helping as congress is trying to do oversight on this. i feel like the astonishment thing is almost clinical. let's try not releasing tax returns. you know? let's see. okay. i'm getting away with that. let's try not setting up a blind trust. okay. let's try not divesting at all. okay. let's try hosting official government events and world leaders at some of my properties. >> right. >> okay. i'm getting away with all of this. okay. finally like, no, mike if you're going to ireland you're staying 180 miles from where your meetings are so i can get paid. we'll put the g7 at doral and military transport flights have to stop at the little commercial airport next to my golf course to spend their refueling dollars there at top dollar, a premium to refuel at a commercial airport, but that might keep that airport alive which is good for my bottom lin

no one makes donald trump's problems get worse better than donald trump. so today when he was asked about john bolton, donald trump would not resist taking shots at john bolton, attacking john bolton. calling john bolton not smart. john bolton resisted responding to donald trump's provocation. well, john bolton didn't completely resist. he said some very important words. john bolton said i will have my say in due course. that was first reported as a text john bolton sent to "the washington post" and soon nbc news confirmed those exact words from john bolton today, i will have my say in due course. it would have been much better for donald trump if john bolton decided to have his say today and get it over with, but on this, at least, john bolton is much, much smarter than donald trump. john bolton is going to have his say. he is going to respond to the insults that donald trump threw at him today. but john bolton is going to control the timing and the form of his response to donald trump. john bolton has already written one book of memoirs of serving in a r

president trump, not so much. tv crews were furiously backpedalling when man down. >> how does it make you feel when -- >> you okay? >> the president barely broke his stride. but on the slippery floor of the u.s. capitol, a reporter got some tlc from canadian prime minister justin trudeau. there is a trick cameramen use to fall correctly. >> it's to tuck and tumble. and first and foremost, to protect your gear. >> reporter: and to heck with the human roadkill. jeanne moos, cnn -- >> how does it make you feel -- >> -- you okay? >> new york! >> it's amazing they get back up. it's like a 1-year-old. it's incredible, guys. a lot of padding. thanks for joining us and "a.c. 360" starts now. >> good evening. a big night, including breaking news in the democratic presidential race. new polling that could really shake things up. we'll have that. also, new word on what, if anything, republicans, especially the president plan to do on gun laws. what the state of play now is and what a leading lawmaker has to say about it. we

it is trump and fox, fox and trump. the president gets his briefings from fox, he gets led by fox, often misled by fox. and he firms up his base through the network. but he has also been complaining about the network. in fact more than 20 times this year by my count. this week he claims fox changed so much that the network, quote, isn't working for us anymore. what an even credincredible $5 . fox really thinks that trump longs to him and his supporters. fox really thinks that trump longs to him and his supporters. i think the anti-media messages lastly against fox and "post" and cnn reflect insecurity. with the re-election campaign 00 his mind, he doesn't want voters to know about the messy reality of life in the trump white house. he hates the leaks and he really hates when people especially on fox cover his democratic rivals. so he lashes out. he sees segments like this with the dnc 130s woman being interviewed on fox. his own spokesman was on the air a few minutes later, but he hated seeing the democratic spokeswoman

donald trump might never give another state of union address because in january, donald trump is now tonight more likely by that time to be in the middle of a trial in the united states senate. and the speaker of the house is not going to invite an impeached president to deliver a state of the union address in the house of representatives in the middle of his impeachment trial in the senate. donald trump is going to be impeached by the house of representatives on at least one article of impeachment because, as of tonight, everything in the whistle-blower's report has so far proved to be true and more is proving to be true each day, including the most damning aspects of that whistle-blower's report. but the smoking gun evidence that will force the impeachment of donald trump are the words that donald trump spoke in the white house record of his conversation with the president of ukraine and nothing is going to change those words, nothing is going to make those words any better. and so for the majority of the members of the house of representatives who have said those words are worthy

i the trump, watching trump, your theory first. why did he say alabama a state he will get in the next election probably, it could be close to the senate. he'll probably get it. >> i'm with jason, i think he made a mistake and has to stand by it. what should disturb us is there is a message sent to every civil servant in this government, you only say what we tell you to say even if it's a lie to the risk of your job, to those people, don't quit, make them fire you. make an issue out of it. tell the truth. >> easy for to you say, a good moral advice i got to tell you. my theory is trump wanted to argue that alabama was threatened by this storm but that he somehow saved it from the storm. that's what he wanted to do. trump is unbelievable. anyway, thank you david k. johnson. natasha, congratulation on that story about the errant air force platoon that decided to stop and make trump like them. anyway, jason johnson as always, coming up, trump is talking about a family political dynasty. remember the romanoffs, they are saying it. it w

you know how trump is. if you don't come from central casting he doesn't particularly like you, and i think right now -- i think it will be fascinating to see who he's going to bring on board. you know, he's probably going to go out and try to find the most disgraced general he could find at this point, probably general boykin or somebody who was fired from their job and say okay, i've got a general who's more like me in this position. but the real problem here is bolton resigned, and he made it very clear to fox news he res n resigned. >> yeah. >> and everyone who's worked this job who has been fired will not come to the american people and tell us this president is unfit and maybe this is part of that national security and classified information problem we keep having with president trump. maybe he doesn't want a national security adviser because tearing down u.s. national security seems to be his full-time job. >> well, let me take that to rick stangle as a diplomat. when you look at what is now a clip o

esident trump and first lady melania trump will hold a second state dinner. watch guest arrivals and dinner toasts on friday at 6:0 p.m. eastern on crmp span. online at crmp span.org or listen on the free c-span radio app. earlier today, federal reserve chair, jerome powell announced a one-quarter point reduction. following his announcement, the chair answered questions from

trump could bring a nuclear weapon. there was nothing cruz could do but he wasn't going to go further with and i think identifying that weakness in the party was his greatest asset as he began his takeover of the gop. >> one of the things that stuck out to me in the book you spend timspenttime with paul ryan, jor in prefigured the last ten yea years. they misunderstood the tea party movement. this wasn't about fiscal conservatives or the animating feature and i thought one thing that was telling you talk to newt gingrich who is as keen an observer as anyone about how to sort of pleased and satisfied the republican primary voter. what did he learn in 2012 do you remember that? >> he tried just about everything to get the media's attention and gain traction in the polls. you may recall this was a long time ago in these political years he had done poorly in iowa and new hampshire and he was hanging by a thread. there were two debates before the primary was being held and newt gingrich decided no more going after barack oba

this is trump addressing the general assembly. pres. trump: all nations have a duty to act. no responsible government should .ubsbsidize e iran's bloodlust as long as arends menacing behavior continues, sanctions will not be lifted. they will be tightened. amy:y: p president trurump alsld out at china and venezuela. for more, we go to santa fe, new mexico, where we're joined by vijay prashad, whose article on salon is headlined "world leaders gather at the u.n. in the face of war, climate catastrophe & global worker exploitation." he is the director of tricontinental institute for social research and chief editor of leftword books. also chief correspondent of globetrotter and author of "the poorer nations: a possible history of the global south", we thank you for being with us. can you respond to what now seems like ancient history, which was actually just yesterday morning president trump addressing the u.n. general assembly right before, a few hours before it was announced the house would begin formal impeachment proceedings against him? talk about his message. >> you're q

president trump is president trump and even before he was a president, he was trump. you knew this, so there is nothing new about him. he is who he is. you had to change his platform when he became president because that is what he is now. everyone should be happy for that because he is the only one. i don't know exactly that i would argue with except for changing his platform. maybe that is a political reference which, i would not necessarily comment on, but i actually think the thing that is striking since he became president is that there was this theme that, the presidency changes everyone. he will become more quote unquote presidential, he will reach out to more of america because that is what you do. the institution of the office has the effect on everyone and it is greater than any individual person. instead, he has continued to be in the way he deals with media, in the way he watches in response to television and tweets about it, the same way but much, much more. the influence of the institution of television on him has been far greater than the institution of

joe biden trouncing donald trump. bernie sanders trouncing donald trump. elizabeth warren, kamela harris and pete buttigieg beating donald trump and in a poll even an dru yang, a guy who's promised to give everybody thousands of dollars, a thanksgiving turkey and an isuzu for free this guy outpromised anything, i like him, that joe isuzu promised in the 1980s he's beating donald trump as well, so all those liberals and media types that says donald trump can never win, they can crawl out from under feat their bed and stop thinking that he has magical voodoo powers. it seems the democrats have to stop from shooting themselves in the foot. >> it's krieshl they stop do -- crucial they stop doing that, joe. if you put those numbers up again, there the a consistency here, right, what do you see, basically his approval rating, he's a if 44, 43 at the top% approval president, sometimes lower than that. on the democratic side you essentially have an order rank by name identification. joe bind is the best known of the democrats, bernie sanders second best, elizabeth

congress now in her declaration she alleged that donald trump quote seriously violated the u.s. constitution and this refers to donald trump threatening to withhold $400000000.00 in aid from ukraine military aid from ukraine and urging the ukrainian president to investigate joe biden and his financial dealings in ukraine and the financial dealings of his son hunter biden this is the announcement that we heard from nancy pelosi this week the president has admitted to asking the president to crane to take actions which would benefit him politically the action of the trial the actions of the trump presidency reveal which dishonorable fact of the president's betrayal of his oath of office betrayal of our national security and betrayal of the integrity of our elections therefore today i'm announcing the house of representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry and directing our 6 committees to proceed with their investigations under that umbrella of impeachment inquiry the president must be held accountable no one is above the law . like to talk about how to develo

we saw in 2016, president trump, then candidate trump was able to use the issue of the judiciary as a motivating force for republican voters. to say you may not like me as a candidate, but if you want to ensure that conservatives are on the bench, you want me in the white house. democrats, with older liberal democrats getting up there in age, have yet to make a forceful case, on top of all the other arguments they are having on health care and policy, about the future of the court and these new issues about justice kavanaugh could bring issues about the supreme court into the fore. host: what do you think the state of play is right now when you look at the field? where does the president stand, the many who are running, where do they stand right now? guest: it is hard to see how president trump does not win the republican nomination. has some rivals, like mark sanford and bill weld and joe walsh. a group of low-profile candidates, to say the least, who are trying to get traction in states like new hampshire. almost every poll shows president trump with 80% approval among republicans.

trump: it is looking that way. we are having some strong studies done but it is looking that way at this moment. we will let you know. as soon as we find out definitively, we will let you know. iran? ou want a war with mr. trump: i don't want war with anybody. we have islamist military in the world. we have spent more than $1 trillion, nobody has ever come close. the of the best equipment in the world, the best missiles and with the patriot system, nothing even close. i don't want war with anybody but we are compared it. it was not the same thing 2.5 years ago. we have totally rebuilt our military in different ways but we have rebuilt it and there is nobody that has the f-35. the best fighter jets, rockets, equipment. with all of that being said we would like to avoid it. >> [indiscernible] have a lot of options but i am not looking at options now. we will find out who did this. we are dealing with saudi arabia and the crown prince and so many other of your neighbors. we will talk about it together and see what hap

this is some other element of the trump grift. it's an element of the trump scam. these are people who have obviously managed to corrupt folks down the chain and sent the signal at the minimum that if you stay at trump reporters, maybe he'll like you more. i think it's an extraordinary moment where we're seeing it in real time that they're forcing airmen to land their c-17s off military airfields somewhere close to a trump resort in order to stay there. it is an unbelievable level of corruption. >> rick, you do remind me we have a network of air bases with names like aviano. we have maintained with the french, brits, and germans for this type of thing. >> indeed. i don't even know the exact number u i think it's five in britain that would handle the c-17 off the top of my head. somehow landing at a trump golf resort is not like landing in bases operating in the u.k. it's very much a symbol of a corrupt and corrupting administration. >> i'll see you in milford shire. >> you will indeed. >> franco, this also bring us to the story of the wall, which also involves the

trump. once again, the president of the united states is in big trouble. >> nbc news special report. >> good afternoon, everyone. we're coming on the air in this busy news day with breaking news, announcement from house speaker nancy pelosi of a formal impeachment inquiry into president trump. >> today, i'm announcing the house of representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry. the actions taken to date by the president have seriously violated the constitution. the president must be held accountable. no one is above the law. >> trevor: holy crap. ( cheers and applause ) after two years of avoiding it, trump may finally face articles of impeachment, which, believe me, he's not happy about. it's impeachment which trump haircuts plus articles which he hates even more. ( laughter ) yeah, if his mom caught him with a playboy magazine, he would be, i swear, i'm not reading the articles, just looking at the boobs. ( laughter ) and if you thought trump was unhinged before, i can

trump 2024. your reaction. >> well, maybe he expects to lose in 2020 and then he'll run again in 2024. everyone assumes if trump loses in 2020, we're done with him. why do we think that? you know? >> bill kristol, thank you. steve kornacki, that's why they pay bill kristol the big bucks. steve, this broader question, and i know you never do opinion. but if you're looking for danger signs for the republican party in the american suburbs writ large, i know a guy like you could find them. >> it's right there. it's mecklenburg county. i say it's geographically tiny. it's right here. dan mccready, it's a 12 point win for dan mccready. all the votes are counted there. this is actually better than mccready did last year. he won it by 10 then. he wins it by 12 tonight. in this same slice of the district, trump won by three in 2016. so this is a densely populated area that trump was able to carry as a candidate. but as president twice now in a congressional election, it's gone double digits for the democr

trump at every turn. our brian todd has this for you. >> a phone call filled with controversy and flattery. the ukrainian president laid it on thick with president trump when they spoke on july 25th. zelensky said trump's plane is probably better than his. trump is probably not 100% right, but 1,000% right. and trump's winning campaign was a lesson for him. i would like to confess to you that i had an opportunity to learn from you. we used quite a few of your skills and knowledge. >> the way to get where you want to go with donald trump is to flatter, to fawn, to understand that there is no compliment you can give that is too excessive. >> whether it's whispering in his ear, giving him an unprecedented visit inside the forebitten city or putting his face on billboards. not complimenting the president doesn't get a foreign leader very far from him. so they'll fawn and groovingel, even if they don't particularly like the man. >> it's done with enormous amounts of cynicism. whether people like him or conside

the classic president trump play book. saw him do similar things to his opponents in the 2016 campaign, and this was an early effort to do something with joe biden. now, however the difference is this has gone into a whole different arena in terms of the president's call july 25th with zelensky and impeachment inquiry. but what we have seen is that the campaign and other political allies of the president are not backing down, they're continuing to talk about this and the trump campaign manager said that the communications director said to us that they would be political malpractice not to push this. they don't show signs of backing down. >> carol, we also heard from president trump's former national security adviser john bolton, made one of his first appearances since he was fired a few weeks ago. you have new information regarding what he said about the president's phone call with the ukranian president. what do you know? >> what my colleagues learned from current and former senior administration officials is that john bo

. >> but didn't trump say barr you need to trump to australia? >> and if bill barr is having a grumpy afternoon nap, he can call his friend donald trump, put him in the middle of the ukraine story. >> he did. but that doesn't mean that he will be found culpable. >> and irony is that all these people around trump, sekulow, p will burn them all down. he will accepted them all to jail. >> they mean nothing to him. >> all right. would i o we're out of time. thank you for rolling through that hour with us.

in order to placate trump, truth isn't truth. and everything will be in service of trump. truth, facts, the weather, maps andine the republican party. >> and i want to tell our viewers, one of our panelists now has a shaved head. he did this because his 3-year-old daughter is battling stage four cancer. and raj and his family are searching for a liver donor, specifically one with o-blood type and we've tweeted links where people could apply to become a donor to save your daughter's life. jake tapper might be easier to spell. j.a.k.e. t.a.p.p.e.r. and we have the information on the twitter accounts. >> my 3-year-old daughter named after a princess and thanks to everyone at the time out of the show and the cnn family and hosts and producers and makeup stylists and we discuss this heated time and people outreach and messaging me and trying to be donors, it reveals most of us inherently are decent people wanting to do go so it restores our faith in human and thanks for helping my family. >> i saw something would she be okay with a conservative liver. >> and livers are bipartis

elizabeth warren will be up against trump. y is story is -- the stor the democrats are trying to get ahead of joe biden's messy family affairs, including biden on a major drug sting that included him getting hooked up -- his ex-wife, and running around china and the ukraine, posing as an energy expert and making millions of dollars on the biden name. and the democrats are trying to get ahead of this story because it could be very damaging for joe biden. the whole idea that donald trump needs to be investigated for some type of crime -- listen, we do not believe you or bill kristol anymore. host: that was built in pennsylvania -- bill in pennsylvania. here is one of the papers focusing on hunter biden's dealings. the washington times saying that there was dealings are helping his father's rivals in this campaign. charlie sykes? the caller, i mean, throughout a -- threw up a lot of things. i do not know who i will vote for. i find it amazing that anybody who supports donald trump, anybody concerned about corruption, this notion

plus a trump slump. a new cnn poll revealing what could be a great concern to the president and his re-election hopes, and polls about to close in a crucial special election that has national implications. results expected to come in this hour. let's go "out front". >>> good evening. i'm erin burnett. out front tonight. it was personal. we are learning more this hour about the bitter breakup between trump and bolton. a source tells cnn that president turned on his now former national security adviser john bolton because he thought bolton made him look bad this week. bolton wanted to humiliate bolton in an exchange. there's bolton at the white house 8:44 a.m. this morning, work as usual taking a phone call outside and he then went in and led a meeting with top administration officials and then, boom, a tweet. the operative part of that tweet, quote, i informed john bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the white house. well, that's not bolton's version. sources tell cnn bolton was li

this was in 2016 a trump district, a big trump district. the president won this thing by double digits in 2016. comes down to a two-point republican victory. tonight why was it close? why was the republican ultimately able to prevail? there were two different storylines that kind of c converged in this district tonight and eech of them is a microcosm of what we talk about nationally. one of the stories was right here in the suburbs that circle might even be too big, the area i'm talking about. the densely populated suburbs of south charlotte, about a third of this district is in mecklenburg county. and this is that -- we talk about it all the time. higher income, college educated suburbs. a place that trump won that portion of the district by three points in 2016. mccready tonight wins it by 13 points. so that's the kind of swing we've been seeing in metro areas, suburban areas across the country, in the trump era, away from the republicans, toward the democrats. if you had said it at the start of the night, that's where mccready was going

bad enough trump sought help from a foreign power in the last election. more somebody instructed the investigation into misconduct, now he has admitted using his office to coerce another country to interfere in 2020. i fully support the impeachment inquiry. >> people are so sick of all of this. of course it's going to help donald trump because it will frame the election if it goes ahead in a way that is helpful to him which is he was elected in 2016 is someone is going to overturn the ideology that prevailed for 50 years shared by the establishment in both parties, globalists, elitists, helping the rich get richer while working american 7, he was elected to overturn all that and they couldn't stand losing power. they've been out to get them every day of his presidency and this just proves it. they want to overturn the election results through nondemocratic means. that will galvanize his supporters. one final thing, the ukraine thing and respect to biden is a sideshow compared to the big one which is china and what you will see now thanks to all this is en

favorite -- president trump's favorite dictator abdel fattah el-sisi. >> trump and cc have permitted a close relationship. devoid of any kind of criticism of each other. dangerous, could be that it further embololdens sisi to crackdown even further without even the kind of muted criticism that we heard from previous administrations. amy: we will speak to democracy now! correspondent sharif abdel kouddous. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. president trump faces the biggest political crisis of his career after the publication of bombshell complaints accusing the president of abusing his power for personal gain. in the nine page document, and i named whistleblower was been identified as a cia official, writes -- "the president of the united states is using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 u.s. election." the complaint corroborates a rough transcript of a july 25th phone call -- released by the white house on wednesday -- showing that trump repeatedly pres

trump is a user of users. donald trump is a guy who pulls people in like roy cone, people who are used to manipulating others and then is able to manipulate them himself. he did that in new york politics and real estate for decades. i think what's interesting now is he's on this national stage and he's surround by a group of people who wanted a group of people and probably never anticipated someone entering that vacuum like donald trump who is not only happy to accumulate the power but had absolutely no sense of having any boundaries around it including whether or not he was breaking the law. >> and the person, judge morrison is a bush administration appointee and we know the bush administration is the first time i heard this unitary executive. this is a belief that the president has absolute power and that no one can check that power even the article 1 power congress. do we have the sound byte of donald trump saying we have this article? because donald trump seems to have been told because i doubt he's ever r

when 90% of the time, 90% of the year the trump organization, trump turnberry is prohibitively expensive for the military to stay at. outside of the year it's 10% outside of it. 10% of the year it falls within the per diem rate that they can spend at a hotel. if the air force is lodging there 6% of the time and it's only available 10% of the time that means that trump turnberry is getting the military's accommodations about 60% of the time when it is available and when they need those stays the most because that's when rates are lowest. so the figure that's out there about the 6% is a little bit misleading because it is not available 100% of the time. >> right. lastly, have you found anything like a directive, anything that says that somebody in the white house, somebody in donald trump's world or somebody in donald trump's business is encouraging members of the military to stay at turnberry? >> no, we have not found that and that's not something we've reported. we've never reported that trump himself directed this, we just wanted to note when we found out the story when air crews were c

president donald trump. he connected his annexation plan directly to president trump's plan to obtain peace in the middle east. >> who will negotiate with president trump? who will recruit him to our side? >> an official tells cnn there's no change in policy at this time but adds netanyahu's announcement doesn't get in the way of the peace plan. trump recognized the sovereignty of golan heights, a political gift to his friend benjamin netanyahu. he also put his guard corps on a terror list. >> leaders slammed netanyahu's plan, eliminating the possibility of solution and peace. >> netanyahu says trump's peace plan is coming soon telling israeli he should be the one to handle negotiations but only if he wins the election. >> netanyahu's announcement was blown out pretty quickly in the news cycle because of the resignation or firing of john bolton who was considered very close to netanyahu. bolton's release was considered a blow as was the rocket fire. >> thank you. we can assume the next national security advi

and they could paint him asa trump there. and they could paint him as a victim and he could use that to energise his base and really get them excited about defending him in 2020, especially if they impeach him in the house and because the senate is controlled by republicans, then they uphold his presidency, keep him in office, and then trump campaign himself also as the victor, that he be back democratic ever stupid him out of office. of course public opinions are somewhat divided on this issue of ukraine, but also voters have other issues like the economy, healthcare, but they want their lawmakers to address. economy, healthcare, but they want their lawmakers to addresslj economy, healthcare, but they want their lawmakers to address. i was talking to people close to the trump campaign today and they said that democrats should really talk about healthcare and the economy and jobs and free college tuition, instead of focusing on trump's scandals and investigations. there's a kind of fatigue factor among americans who have been

we're talking about trump tonight. but i think just as important is what did the democrats do to lose the inner cities between 1 and 16 and have they done anything to get them back. >> can i clarify. i want to be clear that there's no documented evidence that it was just a voter loss in the inner city. i'm not sure what data you're pulling from. it was black voters who stayed at home because they feared their votes would be suppressed. among other reasons. if trump wanted to do something to support this he can ensure felons. reentering society have the opportunity to cast a vote. people in your party are afraid of that. and made that more difficult including in florida. i thought that was important caveat to add. >> i'm glad -- >> look at the voter data in michigan. 75,000 people who turned out for obama in detroit didn't vote. >> i'm cautioning you about your language. inner city. >> i have to get -- last word. as you heard what gregory saying when he mentions black unemployment. it's a red herring. and something that

we have had president trump weigh—in, he says he wa nts awfully president trump weigh—in, he says he wants awfully pretty cigarettes to be banned from us shelves, excluding tobacco flavour e cigarettes. and what we have seen is it's not going to sell you cigarettes once it runs out of its current stock. no internationally, we have seen india announce it's going to ban the production, impartation, and sale of e cigarettes, and china stopped selling juul products last week, i have to say, perhaps it wasn't a big surprise that that ceo announced he was stepping down today. we have also seen, as you say, talks of this merger have been called off. that's not going to head, and i suppose that's not really a surprise either, given al re owns 35% in juul ads, paid something like $13 billion for that steak last year. but after all that steak last year. but after all that bad news, perhaps it's no surprise that the merger is often today, the markets have had a lot to say about this. the shares are down slightly, but philip morris shares are up 5%. that is an interesting note on which to end at

there's a trump party. the republican party has to take a nap somewhere. >> the republican party as far as i can tell is gone, dead and buried and probably never coming back. >> republicans are focused on winning and right now trump has taken hold of the republican party. >> we are the party of the american worker, the american family and the american dream. >> the republican party is having major identity crisis right now. >> a conservative writer and commentator left the republican party and discussed the day after the 2016 election. >> watching all my former friends fall into line behind them, people who were as appalled as i was when trump started running for president, i can't figure out who these people are. it is like invasion of the body snatchers. they had their brains sucked out and replaced with trumpian must. >> republican voters since 2001 was once picked out of a crowded from rally. >> look at my african-american over here, look at him. >> he said he didn't mind at first. >> i sat it out. ever

being trump. no. it's not about trump. it's about the constitution of the united states and it's about what kind of principles we think ought to stand. this is so far beyond anything we've seen in any other circumstance. this is, you know, beyond nixonian. >> the president admitted he had the conversation about joe biden with the president of ukraine. that's an established fact. mitt romney senator from utah is really the only republican to go this far and i'm not sure how far this far really is, let me read you what he said. if the president asked or pressured ukraine's president to investigate his investigate his political rival directly or through his personal attorney it would be troubling in the extreme and critical for the facts to come out. the president said he had the discussion about joe biden with the ukraine president. rudy giuliani said he pressured them to investigate joe biden. that much is established. what do you make of romney's statement? >> well, it's refreshing to hear that vo

donald trump. the democrats, especially those running for president will raise money on this. but at the end of the line, who is the guy who invented reality tv? donald trump. if anybody thinks they will beat donald trump in the ultimate reality tv show of all time, the impeachment of donald trump, get a new life, he will do pretty well. >> shannon: panel, thank you for weighing in, great to see you tonight. key things to remember, the acting dni will testify on the hill we are told on thursday. also former mayor and advocate for the president rudy giuliani says they will release tapes, and the senior administration official says something will be released from the inspector general of the intel community, and, there's so much more to come. so stand by, there is a lot more to come, including disk, a fox news exclusive. a provocative interview with the iranian president accusing israel of supporting isis. and a representative joins us to react, live. ♪ i faced reminders of my hep c every day. but

trump against nadler is the contrast trump wants to drop. if we dohave no idea articles of impeachment if it would help trump, hurt trump or be neutral. my belief is we should not to impeachment for political reasons. not dold also not impeachment for political reasons. it should be based on facts. we need to look at the evidence and it should be our last option. but if we conclude the president of the united states halted political aide to a critical ally at a critical time and also had a conversation with a ukrainian leader to investigate a u.s. citizen for political purposes, that is a high crime. host: anthony, louisiana, independent, hello. caller: it is not working. what you are trying to tell us -- i used to vote democrat -- it is not working. you are trying to tell us that all of the stuff trump is saying , he was trying to get the people -- no, sir, we are not believing that. host: what do you believe? trump: i don't believe was doing the things they are trying to say he was doing. guest: you are entitled to your opinion. i am just

donalddent trump: i am trump and i approved this message. host: we're five months before and newuses in iowa hampshire and 13 or 14 months before the elections next year. with the house and senate coming back " nothing done" is the headline. by the numbers, the house has passed so far 4,214 bills. the senate, i'm sorry that they have taken up. 4,214 bills in the house. the senate more than 2400. the bills that have become law -- 16 in the senate and 40 in the house of representatives. numbers are available online. david from akron, ohio. good morning. caller: good morning. for me, it is a collection of issues wrapped under one issue and the one issue is the need for wholesale political and economic change. alove our country but i'm main street patriot not a wall street patriot. wall street has run our crush. it is more of an oligarchy than a democracy. if you look at citizens united, there is no accounting for money that goes into campaigns. so we have global warming, climate change that needs to be addressed, health care, income and wealth

donald trump. but if people think you're coming for their cheeseburgers, you'll lose this election. but then there's this. a majority of democrats do seem to agree on one thing. a new npr/pbs/marist poll finds nearly 2/3 of democrats surveyed, 58%, say it's more important to have a nominee who can beat donald trump. 39% want a nominee who shares their views. we're so happy to have back with us tonight john heilemann, our national affairs analyst, co-author of "game change," co-author of "double down," co-host and co-creator of "the circus" on showtime. where do you come down on the rick wilson theory espoused by many others, if you legislate cheeseburgers, drinking straws, light bulbs, you're going to lose. >> yeah. i think those are all issues that create a target-rich environment for the trump campaign. and you can see it after this climate event the other night. you watched the way the trump campaign -- i was on the show with you. >> every night on fox news they're doing it. >> you saw what they

the reluctant trump voters. there a concern around the president that the reluctant trump voters are turned off by behavior like this? >> there is concern among the president's advisers in general about the path to 2020. i think they see a path. it involves winning all the states they won in 2016 or maybe they're very interested in minnesota right now as a place they can play offense. they see some ways around this. but there's real concern that this is not in the bag, that, yes, some of these reluctant trump voters who -- and you see this in the primary challengers he has. people like joe walsh who is a long shot candidate who is not going to be the republican nominee, but he was a trump supporter in 2016 because he hated clinton. and he says now i have seen him in office, and i've had a change of heart. this can't go on. and the idea for people like walsh is that this creates a permission structure for other people who voted for trump in 2016 to say, you know, it's not embarrassing to say he didn't -- i got it

in donald trump's own words. collusion with a foreign government to help donald trump's reelection campaign by hurting a candidate running against donald trump. there's a lot of talk about biden's son, that biden stopped the prosecution, and a lot of people want to find out about that, so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great. whatever you can do. that's what the president of the united states wanted in that conversation from the president of ukraine. whatever you can do to help the reelection campaign of donald trump. that is the donald trump, jr., meeting at trump tower with russians during the presidential campaign on steroids. >>> leading off our discussion tonight is former director of the white house situation room where he managed president obama's phone calls with other heads of state. he is also a former chief of staff to the director of the c.i.a. larry, thank you for coming back tonight. we have the transcript. you've seen the transcript. and i just want to get a basic verificati

trump was present. he lies almost every time he opens his mouth and is the danger to this country. he cannot put anybody else's interests ahead of his own. not debating bill. i got all the respect in the world for bill. bill like me knows and understands what the problem is. and the is an unfit president in the white house to take those divided country and is dividing. >> that your time. my thanks to business insider and analysts and moderators pressure. and lopez and is the great thing you are doing. my name is bill wells and i am running for president of the united states as a republican. what i need to know about me since i am wrestling running for president. i think all you really need to know about me is that i am a very relaxed calm person. like the congressman, i am comfortable in my own skin. unlike certain other people and i'm not scared of anybody. i was head of the criminal division of the justice department. i think that no one else should be scared of anybody. i'm a great believer in releas

from the get-go, it's been about trump. he launched a video about trump in charlottesville. this ramps it up. it's the one-on-one showdown. as emily alluded to, it's a about the of an uncomfortable situation. there could be more questions on, well, what did you do as vice president while your son was working in ukraine? until we have more information, until the whistleblower complaint is released, until we see the transcript of this call, there's a lot of open questions. >> what is the biggest question in your mind still? >> the two documents that john alluded to that the vice president called for who shed a lot of light what the situation is. whether there was a quid pro quo. the call by -- also the full whistleblower complaint that they're keeping from congress at this point. you'll remember that the president did call the whistleblower partisan while admitting that he doesn't know who the whistleblower actually is. >> the "washington post" writes that -- revealed the president convinced of his own invincibility. emily, do you think that's so? >> this call came on the heel
