you did talk about america. i'm wondering, have the last few months, have they made you more worried, less worried, because you talk about how many of these democratic institutions in many parts of the world, including the united states, are more fragile than we think. >> some people think the book is alarming. it's supposed to be alarming. because i am very worried. it has a historical context in terms of how fascism came about after world war i with mussolini and then with hitler and franco. yet, there are examples now of countries that are doing exactly what colin was talking about. there are divisions in all our countries. you need leaders that can bring us together for common answers instead of leaders that exacerbate those divisions. i see that in a number of countries in europe, hungary, poland, turkey, philippines, venezuela. what you asked colin in terms of our values, we used to be the country that talked about democratic values and also this kind of thing that colin was talks about to understand each

you know, there's a difference between america first and america alone. in fact, i've heard very heated pushback from many of president trump's advisers and supporters on the idea that it means america alone. but what i'm struck by is they've been doing this poll, it's the pew research center's attitude poll they've been doing since 1991. president trump's ratings are lower than bush's popularity during the iraq war. president trump is even lower in virtually i think every place that i looked at around the world. what it means is it limits america's soft power and president trump's power of persuasion. we live in a multi-lateral world in which we have alliances and relationships with all of these big countries. it represents a very stark, even head snapping change in the american position in the world in a very short amount of time. >> well, this whole conversation matters and it also matters, i was just told as we were talking, it's fortuitous that i have you on, mike pompeo will be going back to north korea at the end of this week, this is after the pre

take a moment to consider what we just witnessed this past week in america. a suspected mail bomber was arrested for targeting politicians and others who president trump has singled out in the past. and a white gunman in kentucky who killed two african-americans after he failed to barge into predominantly black church. and that was all in the days before this deadly attack on jews in the history of the united states. three crimes and one common factor, hate. but the silver lining if there's one thing we can take away from this week is there will always be people willing to stand up to that kind of hatred. a few minutes ago i spoke with the head of the hospital in pittsburgh where that gunman was taken afterward and is now being treated. a dr. jeff cohen told me he made it a point of going to see the gunman himself with his own eyes and spoke with him. listen. >> i went to see the shooter and the cops that were guarding him, i looked at him and i wanted to try to understand why did he do this. and i have no answers. i asked him how are you feeling and he was s

he's saying strange things about the migrants from central america, about saudi arabia, about jobs, about a nonexistent tax plan. so what's going on here? well, there is racially charged rhetoric and tailor-made for his base. >> there is no evidence for some of these claims, which might be the very point. the big head line in the "washington post" this morning, trump and republicans settle on fear and falsehoods as a midterm strategy. so the fib is the feature, it's not a bug. the falsehood or in some cases the lie is meant to scare you. the idea is the more it is repeated the more it frightens. the very argument about the details does some of the work for it. so keep that in mind as you listen to what the president said overnight. our white house correspondent abby phillip has all the details. abby? >> reporter: good morning, john. we have about two weeks before these midterms elections and president trump is sticking to the same playbook that got him elected in 2016. he's hoping to drive republicans out to the polls by stoking fears and misinformation about migrants. >> the democrats ha

he called miss america ms. piggy. go watch the ad hillary clinton ran, type in mirrors into your internet browser. watch the ad. it features all of his comments made about women. this is not new. donald trump sees women primarily through how they look. he has done it time and time again. he's done it as a candidate, as a private citizen, as a president, and now he's doing it again. >> he also, of course, went after one of his other favorite targets, michael avenatti, stormy daniels' lawyer, who we should point out is not exactly known for his moral high ground on twitter. >> exactly. i mean, playground insults are the way donald trump relates not just to women but to everybody. he mocked rand paul for his height. and i recall him saying he comes up to here on me. and this is the way donald trump relates to the world, through childish insults and through branding his opponents little marco, lying ted, pocahontas, which he has revived in recent months, and it's extraordinarily effective. we see his opponents on defense.

it shouldn't sound like america. what they've been engaged in for several decades is exporting extremism. now they're suppressing their critics, engaged in this war in yemen. let's not view them as an ally of the united states that we can count on. we have to come down hard on them and let them know there's a price to pay for this conduct. >> we heard in the "60 minutes" interview last night about saudi arabia, kim jong-un, it's not happening in our country. it's not happening in our land. if they're doing these bad acts it's not here so we can't worry about it that much. >> that can't be the standard. when russians are killing off former spies in england, when we have this apparent complicity of the saudis in the killing of one of their critics, we have to take action. if these countries say they are aligned with us in values, we have to make it clear that they are not. >> there was a report over the weekend about jared kushner's taxes and how he had not paid them for many years. through various loopholes and things

but to me that's the trump effect on america. it has normalized and sanitized nastiness and cruelty. >> do you agree with jim, susan? is this the trump effect? and could it get worse? >> well, yes and yes in a short answer. i recently watched six straight trump rallies from the beginning of october, and what i was struck by was that the press bashing and the attacks on the independent media are not just a sort of quirky throwaway line. they generally come within minutes of the beginning of the trump rally. they're integral to the message he is offering people whereas something like the republican tax cut, which is what at one point leaders on capitol hill wanted to be the foundation of their midterm message, is generally clocking in somewhere around 51 minutes into the rally, whereas the press bashing, the attack on independent media is something that is literally the foundation of the president of the united states' appeal. he taunted and praised a republican candidate the other day, as you know, who attacked a reporter in the m

another america. in the mind of many of my fellow new yorkers -- the heart of god, guns, and trump country. the existential enemy. ♪ ♪ there is a place on god's creation ♪ ♪ a place of beauty beyond compare ♪ ♪ some people say it's almost heaven ♪ ♪ look for me you'll find me there ♪ >> alan johnson: my daddy always told me, you know those tornados and hurricanes, they can't get to us. we're down in these mountains, down in the holler, and these mountains protect us. here, if you're going to see the sky, you gotta look up. ♪ you can find me on the highest mountain ♪ ♪ you can find me in the black coal mines ♪ >> anthony: to think about, much less empathize with somebody who comes from five generations of coal miners, in a place that looks like this, is to our enduring shame, unthinkable. why can't these coal miners get retrained, maybe put up solar panels for a living? why would these conservative, deeply religious people vote for a thrice-married billionaire new yorker? well

yes, just like every other college kid in america. but not every college kid in america gets into a bar fight that ends at a police station. but some do, and hopefully no one is permanently injured, and they grow up and life goes on, lesson learned, right? so why is this relevant? why is it relevant? it's relevant because there are serious questions tonight about the veracity of brett kavanaugh's claims about drinking under oath. how much he drank and how regularly and whether he could have had blackouts from his drinking. and we are going to go through those tonight and see where we are with this, beginning with the president. >> i watched him. i was surprised at how vocal he was about the fact that he likes beer and he's had a little bit of difficulty. i mean he talked about things that happened when he drank. i mean this is not a man that said that alcohol was -- that he was perfect with respect to alcohol. >> so the interesting thing about that is brett kavanaugh didn't say he had difficulty with alcohol. if he had acknowledged th

america first. it doesn't mean america alone, but america first. they look at nationalism in the same light as they do patriotism. and god bless america and america is the greatest, strongest nation that we have. that's the lens that these people aric looking at the term nationalist through. we have to understand that. he knows that, and he will continue, i guarantee, in the next ten rallies he has between now and election when he's talking to those people, that's exactly how they hear what he is saying. it's certainly perceived much differently by others who look at the nationalist globalist lens. >> i want to get angela in on this. >> plain and simply, when donald trump says he's a nationalist, that is not a dog whistle. it's a fog horn to his base. alice, we know he's trafficking in fear. i am devastated to hear you defend that nonsense. there is an analogy that my pastor used to use all the time about when you dump a frog in a boiling pot of hot water, he'll immediately jump out, but if you put that frog in a cold pot of water and slowly turn t

too controlled to actually make america great again. the alleged shooter was motivated by one of president trump's favorite campaign issues, the one he's been gining up the last few weeks. this migrant caravan. that's why the shooter in pittsburgh said he targeted that synagogue, because of this false belief being shopped around all over the place, including by members of congress, that jews were funding that kacaravan. the kara va van that president trump today referred to as an invasion. do words like that matter? do hate acts follow hate speech as mitt romney said? sadly, that's not a theoretical question for the people of pittsburgh. and that's where we begin tonight. sara sidner is in pittsburgh near the tree of life synagogue. the suspect was in court today. tell us what happened. >> reporter: the suspect, he went to federal court, he was in a wheelchair, he had on handcuffs, there are 29 federal counts against him in federal court, he was given no bond and was taken to jail. but, you know, look, this is being called the deadliest

because we are finally putting america first again. it's america first. >> but back here in the real world things are a little different. a lot different. can you believe it was just last week that president trump did his victory lap after getting justice brett kavanaugh confirmed again? that was just last week. since then the outrage over the disappearance and likely murder of journalist jamal khashoggi has exploded. leaving the white house desperately trying to avoid blaming the saudis. but that didn't stop the president from making what may be the most inappropriate joke ever. joking about, i just mentioned this, montana congressman greg gianforte, who assaulted a reporter during his campaign last may. >> any guy that can do a body slam, he's my candidate. [ cheers and applause ] he's my guy. i shouldn't say this, but there's nothing to be embarrassed about. so i was in rome with a lot of the leaders from other countries talking about all sorts of things. and i heard about it. and we endorsed greg very early. but i had heard that he

this is the president of the united states of america, you know what? this is not a good message for our kids. >> kanye never uses the "n" word. go listen to some of his music. and this is what sean hannity now has to say about kanye. >> the president is getting some very public enthusiastic praise from one of america's most iconic rappers, kanye west takes the stand for freedom of thought and freedom of expression. we should all support this. >> you cannot make this up. you cannot make -- i mean, really. i wish we could play that all over again. anyway, i have a lot of show to get to. so, it's not a good message for our kids as he says, when a rapper who has used the "n" word in the past performs at the white house, but it's fine when a rapper who actually uses the f word in the oval office, huh, and there's more. the gop taking a page out of the trump play book, with an ad attacking a democrat running for congress in new york. a rogue scholar, antonio delegate owe, labeling him a rapper. >> i was raise today believe you're supposed to love your neighb
