trump. >> all right. on monday it was all about trump. you could hear him. he said it's all on me. you can't do this to me. you can't do this to me, and then, oh, my goodness, they did it, and don jr. says it has nothing to do with donald trump, the president. really? okay. good morning, and welcome to "morning joe." it is wednesday, november 6th. along with joe, willie and me, we have msnbc contributor mike barnicle, national political correspondent for nbc news and msnbc and author of "the red and the blue" steve kornacki with the maps today. columnist and associate editor for "the washington post," david ignatius joins us and nbc news correspondent heidi przybyla joins us now. >> they're two stories that for people who are just stupid enough to like watching dogs chase their tails. do we have two stories for you? you saw the first. don jr. saying this had nothing to do with donald trump, and donald trump the night before saying you have to do this for me, basically saying this is all abou

trump: i have not gotten involved. he said nice things last night but we will have to see. >> [indiscernible] >> have you forgiven him for recusing himself? pres. trump: i don't even think about it. >> [indiscernible] what do you say to the people who just don't believe you? [indiscernible] shows that you did something wrong? pres. trump: it is simple. i had a good call with the president of ukraine. the call was perfect. they are after -- i have a second call, which no one knew about and i guess they want that to be produced also. you heard that, john. have a second call. i had a second call which came before this one. now they want that one and if they want it i will give it to them. i have not seen it recently. but i'll give it to them. i had a call before this with the president of ukraine. i have no problem giving it to them. i have no problem. [indiscernible] >> on the bidens did you ask bill barr or anyone to investigate the bidens and if not, why would you ask the president of ukraine to do something you were n

so do eric and donald trump, jr. and other members of the trump organization who are, in fact, working still for the president in his private capacity because he continues to own the trump organization. remember how absolutely extraordinary this situation of past presidents have divested their similar private interests, they've sold them, they've bought bonds which raise no conflicts of interests. and donald trump is the extraordinary exception to that rule. and his conflict of interest is more than a little one as he put it very boastfully. >> and we know that donald trump denied the president of ukraine, which is our ally, a country we've long been in support of in their attempts to free themselves from russia. he denied that president a white house meeting. he gave one to president erdogan despite the brutality that turkey has inflicted on the kurds who are our allies. what did you make of that, sir, for him to invite erdogan to the white house? >> the invitation to erdogan, the avoidance of any sanctions for erdo

i mean, he was picked by trump and pompeo for this job. he was a trump appointee. so if you try to go after him as some kind of deep state never-trumper bs, it's going to really look awkward, it's going to be like fingernails on a blackboard. this is a very difficult job the lawyer has. i would just hate to see what happens when it gets turned over to the republican members, how they try to tear these guys up, and it would be a big mistake, i think. >> chuck? >> first of all, you have three very good lawyers and then you have me. >> not true! >> you don't impeach their integrity, i think their integrity is unimpeachable. in fact when ambassador taylor started, he said i'm not here to advocate for impeachment, i'm not taking a side, i'm just telling you what i saw and heard and read and wrote. but i do think there is a very narrow path to cross-exami cross-examination, and claire touched on it. you didn't speak personally with the president, did you, ambassad in fact there are many conversations he had about this matter that youtr, all of our knowledge is limited in

i imagine he and trump if he gets in trouble, trump will pardon him. i imagine that happened early on but probably before all of this stuff unravelled. he's got two things coming at him. there's an investigation in the southern district of new york of his associates for campaign finance violations. that's independent of everything going on in congress. meanwhile congress is unraveling this other scheme to essentially tilt ukraine against biden in trump's favor for the 2020 election. both of those things are hugely problematic for him. legally, reputationally and operationally. because at some point most of these people around trump aren't going to be loyal to him. we've seen this already with lev parnas. he was someone they assumed wouldn't cooperate with the impeachment inquiry. how many other people are going to start cooperating and change their stories like gordon sondland did today? when there's just a couple of people involved in a conspiracy or wrong doing, it's easy for them to keep their stories straight. when you have an entire group of peopl

president donald trump was meeting with turkish president bunch of time everyone at the white house trump has come under intense pressure for hosting everyone right now he's facing criticism from both republicans and democrats for going ahead with a recent military pullout from northern syria leading lawmakers have been arguing the trump card deserted the u.s. as allies there the kurds. and the white house there was little sign of that that washington and on the same page regarding the kurds with their one defending his decision to invade syria as part of congress fight against terror take a look we're going to sustain our fight against terrorism in a healthy fashion we need to be much more sensitive than we currently are it happens to us today and it will happen to somebody else tomorrow we have a great relationship with the kurds we have head we're with them now we get along with them and by the way i think the president he may have some factions within the kurds but i think the president has a great relationship with the kurds are let's bring in our correspondent pablo now he is in was

now, trump's answer to all this? do a madhouse style dramatic reading between the phone call of himself and president zelensky that a trump ally told me today, trump still maintains publicly and privately is perfect in every way. trump telling the washington examiner in an interview yesterday, quote, at some point, i'm going to sit down, perhaps as a fireside chat on live television and i will read the transcript of the call, because people have to hear it. when you read it, it's a straight call. important to point out that it's a summary of the call. and even the summary makes clear that military aid and a meeting were both conditional. trump responding to the ukrainian president's request for military assistance, by saying, i would like you to do us a favor though. then pushing for those investigations targeting democrats, including joe biden. it's conduct that nearly two-thirds of americans today call a quote serious problem. and it's conduct that has been corroborated by multiple aides, since that original whistl

donald trump didn't agree. he reversed that decision before insisting that gallagher retain the gold trident signifying his status of the seals. richard spencer took exception to that insisting friday that the review process should go forward. over the weekend spencer went around the chain of command by trying to broker a deal with trump directly and that's what got himfired. in his letter he said it's become apparent in this respect i no longer share the understanding with the commander of chief who appointed me. in regarding to the key principle of good order and discipline. i cannot obey an order that i believe violates the sacred oath i took. we highlight trump's over reach with spencer's firing trump has recklessly crossed a line he had generally observed before that exempted the military from his belligerent government by tweet interference but the gallagher case illustrates how he's ready to over ride traditional limits to aid political allies, law enforcement and now military matters. what is the potent

the trump administration is under pressure to find a solution because president trump, based on u.s. law, should be sanctioning turkey for that move. and so far he seems to have shielded turkey from that. are they going to try and find some sort of solution, for example, turkey not activating that system? when it comes to turkey, we've heard their position on all of this before. they say these are national security issues and they're not willing to compromise on that. so it's going to be very interesting to see what comes out of these meetings, especially as turkey experts say turkey has very much -- erdogan has relied on his relationship with president trump and tried not to mend ties with u.s. lawmakers, and that's something they expect could backfire, christine. >> all right. thank you so much. jomana karadsheh in istanbul. >>> president trump gave us a glimpse of his 2020 campaign mem during his economic speech of new york. >> here's the story. i don't like you. you don't like me. you don't have no choice but to vote for me. the truth is, look, you have no choice because the peop

because he is the person in between trump and everybody else and so he's the trump whisperer, the trump interpreter and he is the one telling everyone, this is what the president wants. this is what the president says. not only is he telling people at that dinner table, but he is telling ambassador taylor and he is telling the ukrainians this is what the president wants. >> and gordon sondland, pamela, he's the u.s. ambassador to the european union and ukraine is not a member of the european union but clearly a big player and a major political appointee and gave a million dollars to the trump inauguration and very wealthy business man and playing this key role. >> and we heard bill taylor say today it was unusual for a u.n. ambassador to play such a critical role on ukraine and his testimony has actually proven pivotal when he revised it just recently saying that, yes, actually he did tell the ukrainians that in order for them to get the aid they would need to announce the investigation. which is interesting in light of the white house argument is, look, these witnesses today, they're c

charitable foundation run by donald trump, donald trump jr., ivanka trump and eric trump were all found guilty. they have to pay restitution for ripping off people who were donating to charity and they ended up palming a lot of the proceeds. and that was deemed by a court in our united states of america. if they had respect for rule of law and they want to root out corruption, why not pay some attention to what's going on in reality land? i could say a lot more since i'm from new york. people from new york not only know who donald trump is, they know what he is. i'll just leave that where it lies. as far as due process goes. >> we'll move onto bill in new mexico, republican line. good afternoon. >> caller: hi. just one minute. i dropped my phone. i think what we're seeing here now is an exercise in knowledge of partial facts. i think it's an absolute partial fact that the previous president of the ukraine poroshenko was trying to tamper with the 2016 elections. in fact, his ambassador to the united states wrote a lengthy criticism of donald trump and it was in the "washington post." the

trump. there's a brigade of witnesses set to testify with firsthand experience or actually evidence that president trump tried to bribe the ukraine president into investigating his political rivals by withholding military aid. starting tomorrow, nine more witnesses will paint a picture for the american public of the president's interactions with ukraine. three of those witnesses were on trump's july call with the ukrainian president. two others heard trump follow up on that phone conversation the day after, speaking from the white house to a kiev restaurant. and last week david holmes, a staffer to the u.s. embassy in ukraine told congressional investigators he overheard a phone call between u.s. ambassador to the eu gordon sondland and the president where the president asked sondland if ukraine would investigate the bidens. holmes testified that sondland testified that he's going to do it, saying president zelensky will do anything you ask him to. holmes raises the stakes even higher for we

president trump is living under the shadow of impeachment. for president erdogan, this comes at a very important time when turkey just intervened in syria to start settling syrians there to deal with the kurdish question and the pyd question between what he calls terrorist groups and kurdish people in general. refugees inte are turkey. it is a big deal for president erdogan. just look at how this press conference is viewed today in saudi arabia or united arab emirates or israel or iran and russia. all these countries that deal with or have issues with turkey or with turkey's policies in syria or turkey's role as a regional power are looking with a bit of cautiousness, because president erdogan has just been empowered by the superpower president trump in a sense of saying we are with you in the war on terror in your policy on the middle east and you are a senior partner of ours in the middle east. likewill echo in places korea and the philippines. >> thanks. you're watching al jazeera live from london. bolivia's new interim leader denies forme

this is president trump speaking. 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. biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution. so if you can look into it, it sounds horrible. now, at the time of this call vice president biden was the front-runner for the democratic nomination in the 2020 election. mr. kent, are you familiar, as you indicate in your opening statement, about these allegations related to vice president biden? >> i ukraine, did he act in accordance with official u.s. policy? >> he did. >> now, let's go to then the last excerpt that i wanted to highlight, which is president zelensky speaking. he says, i also wanted to thank you for your invitation to visit the united states, specifically washington, d.c. on the other hand, i also want to ensure you that we will be very serious about the case and we will work on the investigation. now, ambassador taylor, right after president zelensky mentions

for security assistance that president trump had just frozen, to which president trump responded that he wanted president zelensky to do him a favor though by investigating the 2016 u.s. election and the bidens. then president zelensky says that he will pursue these investigations right after he mentions the white house visit. is that your understanding, ambassador taylor, of what we just read? >> yes. >> and mr. kent, is that yours? >> yes. >> i yield back. >> the majority time has expired. >> bret: we will take a 60 second break here. we'll be back to questioning in just a minute. >> bret: welcome back to washington and the impeachment inquiry. alongside my colleague martha mccallum in new york. we have you covered all day long they are now on a five-minute break. martha, after the testimony from the majority side. now we are waiting for the minority questioning to begin after they come back from the break. >> martha: it is very interesting to watch william taylor tell his story here. one of the definitions that he clarifies is that it's his understanding that whenever the word "inv

they urged trump to meet with the ukrainian president, but trump instead criticized ukraine and instructed them to work with judy -- work with rudy. a few weeks later on july 10 ambassador sondland met at the white house with a group of u.s. and ukrainian officials including colonel vindman and informed the group that according to chief of staff mulvaney, the white house meeting sought with president trump, what happened if ukraine undertook certain investigations. national security adviser bolton abruptly ended the meeting and said afterwards that he would not be part of whatever drug deal sondland and mulvaney are cooking up on this. undeterred, sondland brought the ukrainian delegation downstairs to another part of the white house and was more explicit, according to witnesses. ukraine needed to investigate the bidens or burisma if they were to get a white house meeting with trump. after this discussion which vin witnessed, he went to the national security council's top lawyer to report the matter and was told to return with any concerns. a week later on july 18 a representative of the o

trump his country's ready to buy more weapons from the us for defense purposes trump sansar i would like you to do us a favor though then ask for investigations into democrats and the bidens this is extortion this is bribery and in any other instance. people would go to jail for sure trump says he's innocent and republicans are stunned sleep defending him but anyone from millionaire the democrat scorched earth war against president trump would not be surprised to see all the typical signs that this is a carefully orchestrated media smear campaign prior to the start of the public hearings americans were about evenly divided on whether to impeach trump and remove him from office now that they're hearing directly from witnesses all eyes are on whether the public's opinion will change. castro al-jazeera washington. or president trump has once again claimed the impeachment inquiry against him is a witch hunt he made those comments during a meeting with turkey's president at the white house kelly how has this report video come to water. as americans watched the 1st public hearings over th

president trump wanted president zelensky "in a public box." >> stephen (as trump): "would you, could you in a box? would you, could you live on fox? ( laughter ) will you give me dirt on joe? will you do the quid pro quo." ( cheers and applause ) taylor testified that there were two groups running foreign policy in ukraine-- a regular channel and an irregular channel led by rudy giuliani. and over time, he grew concerned. >> i began to sense that the two decision-making channels-- the regular and irregular-- were separate and at odds. later that day, i received text messages on a three-way whatsapp. >> stephen: it's weird to hear that guy say "whatsapp." ( as taylor ) "i received a text message on whatsapp. it was a gif of a tiktok of a toddler dancing to iggy azalea. it was so extra. have you heard the new king princess album? it's lit. hundo p." taylor also gave some insight into the way trump justified his own actions. >> president trump told ambassador sondland he was not asking for a quid pro quo. but president trump did insist that president zelensky go to a microphone and say

trump also pardoned to other u.s. soldiers who have also been accused of committing more crimes, despite being advisised against ththe pardons by his own defense secretary, mark esper. "time magazine" is reporting secretary of state mike pompeo is planning to resign and run for a u.s. senate seat in kansas next year. pompeo has come under fire during the ongoing impeachment hearings against president trump, with many criticizing him for failing to defend state department officials and protect u.s. policies against trump's efforts to politicize foreign affairs. pompeo has not publicly confirmed his planned resignation. in immigration news, a federal judge in california has ruled the trump administration's asylum restrictions don't apply to the tens of thousands of people who are currently in limbo at the u.s.-mexico border. in july, the trump administration imposed a new rule aimed at prohibiting migrants from applying for asylum if they crossed through a third country beforere arrivingt the united states. the policy a
