be in the detail of what exactly it says but the reaction was well the reaction from don trump is clear he denied all the allegations but he had knowledge that there was a phone call in july and joe biden and his son hunter were discussed and also some corruption cases they allegedly were involved in were also discussed with ms selenski and he also admitted blocking the aid funds for ukraine but he explained it by fear is that you were was not contributing. and actually it was later on freeze the reaction from the republicans and democrats is also quite predictable no one looked surprised but in their own way let's take a listen. mugari decided to run this through. particular insight. and shows that the president clearly thinks he's above the law now he's admitted to using his office to snow the country to 2020 i fully support the impeachment inquiry i believe that impeachment at this juncture would be terribly divisive for the country at a time when we are already extremely divided they have been investigating this president before he even got elected they have voted 3 times on i

so i think he wants to prove firmness on iran but with all like criticism towards don trumps of foreign policy one could see it as a major achievement from his side and that needs to be also said that he didn't start a war yet that he didn't give in to some of the hardliners in the falcons in the white house and that is something good so apparently trump really for whatever reason doesn't want to war with iran and he's ready maybe to make also some compromise if it's not going to be backfiring too much to his presidential campaign that he's got a middle east analyst thank you very much feel like you've managed this. turning to hong kong now where rights group amnesty international is calling for an investigation into excessive use of force by police against demonstrators many peaceful protests have turned into violent have become violent between the 2 sides and has been speaking with police officers who say this more to the story. joseph it has agreed to meet us although he says he does not trust the press so we'll mind recording our conversation ok he is a retired police office

from may have made to a foreign leader years ago 1st got in office were also nervous that don trump was some sort of sleeper agent who was going to sell america out to a foreign power behind our backs. well throwback thursday the wall into multiple reports of potentially illegal activity new allegations of attempted foreign collusion the washington post reported that back in july trump and the newly elected wanted him as a landscape how did a little chat in which trump asked his ukrainian counterpart to investigate for vice president joe biden and apparently top level whistleblower leaked that trump unethically said he'd be generous with billions worth of american military and intelligence aid if selenski was cooperative blowers under what i can only imagine must be the most. intense pressure sharing anything that is truly sensitive and endangers our national security here in our world or trouble sounds to see but then things took a slightly disappointing turn the washington post sort of backtracked and admitted that well actually they might have jumped the gun just a little one source

what's going on ultimately maybe the american public to decide whether don trump is being honest or not in the general election next november that extraordinary terms and economic effect for that. now at least 4 people have been killed off days of violent protests in haiti demonstrators are accusing president of corruption and blame him for a food and fuel shortage they say they will continue protesting until he resigns with us now from port au prince. chaos has taken over the streets of port au prince. what started as demonstrations over an ongoing fuel shortage has grown into a nationwide protest calling on haitian president just now to resign no diplomat the president promised the haitian people to lift them from poverty to pull them out of the dirt and when he became president he made everything work. on friday thousands took to the streets authorities in the haitian capital tried to control the crowd but with little effect mobs of angry demonstrators broke into buildings and looted businesses god. several people have died. one police station was vandalized by looters and nearly

, hello. this is fascinating. what have you learned? >> don, thanks. multiple trump administration officials with direct knowledge tell me that in the previously undisclosed secret mission in 2017, the u.s. successfully extracted from russia one of its highest-level covert sources inside the russian government, a person directly involved in the discussions said that the removal of the russian was driven in part by concerns of president trump and his administration repeatedly mishandled classified intelligence, which could contribute to exposing the cohort source as a spy. the decision to carry out the extraction occurred soon after a may 2017 meeting in the oval office in which you may remember trump discussed highly classified intelligence with russian foreign minister sergey lavrov and then-russian ambassador to the u.s., sergey kislyak. that intelligence concerning isis and syria had been provided by israel. the disclosure to the russians by the president, though not about the russian spy specifically, prompt the intelligence officials to renew discussions about the potential ri

rhetoric i don't think this is going to be very likely. president don trump is promising to hit the afghan taliban harder than ever he made the comment at a ceremony to mark 18 years since the $911.00 attacks it comes just days after he canceled peace talks with the taliban after the killing of a u.s. soldier at least 2 and a half 1000 people have been reported missing after hurricane dorian struck the bahamas the government says the official death toll will be dramatically higher than the 50 already reported when you're a part of reports. emergency services of the bahamas continue to sift through the debris left in the wake of hurricane dorian. search and rescue crews have arrived from the u.s. and canada to locate the thousands who are listed as missing the number of that is expected to significantly increase. in greenfield bear as a country. begins with the families who have lost loved ones. the islands of abaco and grand bahama were the worst hit the devastation here is widespread based off of our sample i would say yes. you know we've we've probably had at most 110th of this ar

this and do the events move very very quickly. yeah this is moving extremely quickly don trump tweeted this morning do nothing democrats savages was actually a the word he used but as to patty's point about these conversations it seems now we're getting reports that other conversations between president trump and the saudi royal family and vladimir putin were also place in this supra secret service but i can tell you the democrats or at least nancy pelosi has indicated that they want to keep this these proceedings laser focused on what happened with root ukraine answering that simple question quid pro quo that phrase we've been hearing a lot over the last few days did donald trump withhold funds from the ukraine to then ask for a favor that favor being political dirt on a rival a potential rival for the presidential election so they've really backed themselves into a corner if you hear donald trump talking about this over the last few days to paraphrase him he seems very low energy about it he seems quite deflated about this because these are serious charges and i think important to po

mississippi, it would take you 700,000 years. $22 trillion s. it.ve got to address >> is don trump a small conservative? >> yeah. it's sort of tough right now pelosi running the house. a government like she has in this latest -- the democrats and the president. understand. i understand. and the president talked about, in the second term he does -- just described, this is a huge problem and we all know it problem is l -- our every member of the freedom voted against the deal -- >> and for the first two years administration. >> of course, you know, the isagreements we had with speaker ryan and boehner. a book about ote that. in.o let me jump there are two groups of people that love to spend more money in washington, d.c. democrats and republicans, and he real problem with that is that when you go and you're poll g about debt, if you that, more people -- they are worried about jobs, they are healthcare, t immigration, they are worried about a lot of things but they aren't worried about debt people think of debt in the way they have debt on their home. 30-year nk, i have a mortgage, i'll pay i

sort and if the house decides that there's enough evidence to to indict impeach don trump on any of things that these various inquiries may have found them that then goes to the senate for the actual equipment of the actual court case so that will then be heard in the senate with members of the house acting as prosecutors and it's up to the senate overseen by the supreme court justice to then decide whether whether indeed. the trump is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors or something like that so you can be impeached not just basically means you've been indicted and then you have your trial in the senate so that's the kind of process we're looking at so it's still not entirely clear then what the how this process might might now proceed but i think i guess at the very least what pelosi and democrats are hoping is by putting this into the context of an impeachment and impeachment proceeding maybe finally the stonewalling will end and they'll start getting some of the information that they haven't been furnished with by the trumpet ministration up to now thank you very much for now

trump tower with don junior trump son which stephen miller then a campaign advisor to trump with george nader a former blackwater colleague of yours who acts as a back channel to the saudis there moralities you're supposed to be convicted paedophile and also joel's an israeli expert on social media manipulation how come you didn't mention that meeting to congress given it's so relevant to their investigation. i did as part of the part of the investigations i certainly disclosed in the ne meetings the very new i had on in the congressional testimony you gave to the house we went through you didn't mention anything about august 26th meeting in trump tower they specifically asked you what context you have and you didn't answer that. i don't believe i was asked that question you asked whether any community for communications or contact with the campaign you said apart from writing papers putting up yard signs know what you said i've got the transcript of the conversation here. i might have been i think it was at trump headquarters or the campaign headquarters probably 2016 usable and

? >> well, the latest is that there was this phone call in late july, don, and president trump, according to a source, pressed ukraine's president to investigate presidential candidate joe biden's son, and this is part of an intelligence whistle-blower complaint, the source said. we're told that trump did not discuss a pending aid package to ukraine in that july call, indicating there may not have been an explicit quid pro quo outlined in that specific call. but this is certainly bringing renewed scrutiny to the administration slow-walking foreign aid to ukraine that it suddenly released last week because we don't know the suggestions surrounding the phone call. today, trump didn't deny he brought that up in his phone call with zellinsky, and he only send somebody out to look into it. we do know also, don, that the president's personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, met with the top ukrainian official in madrid shortly after that late july call, and giuliani admitted on our air last night on chris cuomo's show that he raised biden during that meeting. i spoke to giuliani today, and he

rehabilitate him or bring the trump brand and the trump name into this kind of new era. but don junior is the more natural successor. >> yeah. she's with the elites, and he's with the more sort of down-home folk. >> right. >> you have so many fascinating anecdotes, like the one about how the president privately reacted during the trump tower meeting when that went public. you say, watching cable news coverage of the fiasco from the west wing, trump shook his head wearily. he wasn't angry at don, a former white house official recalled. it was more like he was resigned to his son's idiocy. he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, trump said with a sigh. what a way to think of your kid. >> yeah. i mean this is an important kind of insight into how trump operates which is that i'm told by people who know him that the way he thinks about his kids on any given day is largely shaped by how they're playing on cable news. so if they are doing well for him, if they're out there representing him well and staying out of bad headlines, then trump is happy with them. if there's a bad story

proceedings against president don with trump on the back of reports he pressured his ukrainian counterpart to find it on 2020 hopeful by. been very reluctant to go down the path of impeachment but if the president is essentially is trying to browbeat a foreign leader into doing something illicit that is providing dirt on his opponent during a presidential campaign then that may be the only remedy that is co-equal to the evil that that conduct represents well on sunday trump to deny any misconduct while discussing his potential rival during a phone call with the president a lot to me that inskeep back in june he also accused the former vice president of corruption tied to his son's business activities in ukraine the phone conversations only just come to light they were after whistleblower claimed that trump solicited help from a foreign leader. reports. you've got to give it to the democrats they're hard working bunch especially when something's related to the biggest pet peeve kalu said but with all attempts over the past 3 years to push trump out of the white house haven't for

thought ivanka trump had outperformed her brothers, in particular don jr. now things are changing a bit in the president's mind, why? >> ivanka's source of status in the family was largely pegged to her ability to be a good surrogate for her father. she generated a lot of positive coverage for trump and the trump organization. as her media coverage has curdled while she's been in the white house, trump has started to reassess things, and now even he can kind of see that don jr. is more talented on the campaign trail, has more of a natural connection to his base and kind of begrudgingly has started to come around to the idea that don jr. is closer to where the trump empire is now than ivanka. >> we all think bank to ivanka trump's appearance in osaka japan for the g20 summit where the french released a video where it appeared she was standing among other leaders and heads of state and trying to get in on the conversation, a bit of an embarrassment for ivanka trump and for the president. he also felt that that was a sleight against ivanka and may question whether she has the gravitas in l

, don, and president trump according to a source pressed the ukraine to investigate joe biden's son. this was part of an intelligence whistle-blower source. trump did not discuss a pending aid package indicating there may not have been an explicit quid pro quo. we don't know the discussions surrounding the phone call. now today trump didn't deny that he brought that up in that phone call with ze lyzelinsky. the president's personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, met with a top ukrainian official in madrid shortly after that call. and giuliani admitted that he raised biden during that meeting. i spoke to giuliani today and he declined to say whether he spoke with the president about pressuring the ukrainians to investigate biden's son. to give some context, ukrainians have looked into a company involving biden's son determining there was nothing there and the case didn't go forward. giuliani alleges without direct evidence that biden pressured ukraine to dismiss the prosecutor looking at that case. biden did release a statement saying if these reports are true then there is truly no bottom t

is among supporters, whereas donjunior has trump is among supporters, whereas don junior has emerged trump is among supporters, whereas donjunior has emerged as a sort of folk hero to the american right where he is travelling across the country and banging the drum and really become a political celebrity. he is seen now really become a political celebrity. he is seen now more really become a political celebrity. he is seen now more ascendant than ivanka. with that in mind, had you think their roles are going to evolve over their roles are going to evolve over the next year, it is crucially important to donald trump to get out there and speak to the base? if ivanka does not do that very well, because she is a new york business woman, who comes to the four? that is why so many people in the president's orbit see donjunior is the ascending figure in the family. ivanka has really spent most of the la st ivanka has really spent most of the last couple of years in the white house, trying to burnish her credentials as a policymaker, political player and mingling with the global elit

pence is trying to say, don, he would fully operate any decision donald trump would make on any suggest, and he would support the reverse position if donald trump they'dmade that position too. mike pence is really giving sycophancy a bad name here. but i guess it's to his credit if in private he and bolton and others actually raised questions about this hare-brained idea of bringing a terrorist group affiliated with al qaeda to camp david on the eve of 9/11 that is a very bad idea. and so it's a good thing that somebody dissuaded trump from actually doing that. >> mike pence wasn't the author of that tweet. >> you don't think? >> no. >> but which decision is he saying? he goes i fully support. -- i would have fully support your decision. who you think wrote that? >> i think that came directly from the who. the rhythm of it, even some of the punctuation. it did not reader look like a mike pence tweet. >> this is kind of the standard sycophancy that trump's enablers do, which is that when he puts out a really bad idea and then abandons it, they're praising him for abandoning the idea with

overnight news." i'm don dahler. the trump administration says it has evidence that iran was behind the weekend strikes on oil facilities in saudi arabia. the attacks disrupted about 50% of the saudi oil output. although the country says full production will resume sooner rather than later. u.s. officials claim they know the types of the drones and cruise missiles used in the strikes and even know where in iran they were launched from. so far, none of that evidence has been released. david martin reports from the pentagon. >> reporter: u.s. officials say experts have examined pieces of the wreckage on the ground in saudi arabia, identified the specific type of cruise missiles and drones fired, and determined they were made in iran. other analysts have traced their tracks back to points in southwestern iran. one official call it a complex and coordinated attack, involving two dozen drones and nine cruise missiles. vice president pence stopped short of saying flatly it was iran. >> it certainly is looking like iran was behind these attacks. our intelligence community at this very hour is

trade fight rages on. will the democrats in the media continue to use it against trump. don, what ups your take on this recession obsession. your reaction to everything you heard. >> look, you are asking me a slightly technical question and i'm a pretty technical guy, so here we go. 130,000 new payroll jobs flies in the face of all the other official labor market kata we have gotten about the move august. the jobs report has two entirely statistical surveys. the one everybody reports, and another one that says 590,000. they are two separate surveys with two separate methodologies. the department of labor says what would happen if you turned one into the methodology of the other. the one telling you 590,000 would tell you a million. one of the first things you have to realize about these numbers is they are absolutely out of control. and if you put too much reliance on them, you are heeding yourself down a primrose path of fantasy. liz: i have seen the wacky numbers even under the obama administration. what is going on here? somewhat's going on here is we are trying to capture lightnin

speech, we're not going to see campaign runs from don junior, eric trump, ivanka trump, jared kushner, more to the notion of using california, this is a place where the republican party has been decimated. even the few house seats that have existed up until a year ago, were gone. democrats defeated them, so he was trying to say that the trump family is strong, is obviously very vast and will continue to raise money for and campaign for republicans and continue to take the party in a new direction. that to me is one of the biggest takeaways from this is that we have seen the republican party change so dramatically under donald trump. it is the trump party, no doubt about it, you saw him defeat republican after republican more on the traditional gop vein even over the weekend. mark sanford is the most traditional republican to say he's going to try to oppose donald trump. he's probably not going to get anywhere under those traditional republican guidelines and values. it's another example of how donald trump the man has changed the party and they hope that will continue through his kids

state projects. we don see that with president trump. he's instilledti a discipline oa fear or a loyalty or whatever word you want to t find sohey don't -- they might stand up him from time to time. they're not going to get in his face. >> i think what's most trike -- striking abo a tt loyalty t peter is describing is they're choosing to sideith the president over a middle school that's overcrowded where children hav to eat ine the library because they can't neat the cafeteria. where teachers are being -- are having use their own money to educate students. and these are the children that are the children of service members. hes -- one principal tol helene cooper in the "new york timeme that these are the children that are bearing the burdens of the w thate're fiting. itit an incredie thing that erepublicans are sticking with the president. but it shows you why they're sticking with the president on other hard things. pete: we learned aboutow the face of congress will be changing with more republicans saying they will not run for re-election. this brings to 13. four i the number o

? >> no, of course not, don. and let me tell you this. the next president, if it's not donald trump, is going to have an enormous amount of work to do to repair the relationship that we have with our friends, our allies, with an enormous amount of work. you bring about iran, and everybody wants to talk about where we are now. remember, don, our european allies begged him not to drop this deal, that they were interested in pressuring iran in a unified way to stop developing ballistic missile technology and to stop all their funding these groups in the region, which would be hamas and hezbollah and other people. and he said, i don't care, and he walked away. and now we -- you know, now we're talking, well, maybe the french, they want to offer a line of credit. maybe we should go along with that. maybe we'll have a discussion without preconditions. oh, but wait a minute. i never said that. this started all the way back when we walked out of that deal. and earlier in your monologue, you said something very interesting, something i can't figure out. why is he angry at barack obama? donal

handsome. that's don jr. in a trump camouflage shirt. that's a new product on their web site. some people noticed a stain. the stain is actually here, right on top of his neck. he had a stain on his shirt. a camouflage shirt covered in grease stains. you have to admit, they know their customers. by the way, i went through the site. there's a camouflage key chain. because who doesn't want to make their keys harder to find? got to, they've also got a rustic dog leash for $40 and a rustic d rust rustic dog collar. as you can see, it fits any size dog at all. and if you give them a good belly rub, he'll be your best friend forever. the best part of this big merchandise announcement is the trump family still isn't making their crap in america, after all the talk about american-made this and that, they still can't spend the extra $2 to have their garbage made here instead of wherever, in fact, the closest they got with this new line is this "decorated in america". what does that even mean? decorated in america. does that mean someone in florida ironed the patch on? not only is the junior

not being done. and that is per larallel to don trump and the republican party. >> ben, i'm curious what you're hearing from evangelicals that you spoke to for your book about their thoughts on modern christianity and donald trump. i also grew up in the southern baptist church and there's always been plenty of hypocrisy to go around. and one of my favorite jokes is that if you go fishing, you take a baptist and a methodist, so all your beer won't get taken from if you had a baptist alone or a methodist alone. but how do you -- what are you hearing from evangelicals reconciling trump's behavior and their personal beliefs in this era? >> well, it's kind of all based on -- well, there's two things, really. there's fear. fear of loss, fear of losing, fear of, you know, their christian values being maligned or, you know, them being isolated and pushed out of the culture. the idea that their way of life is under attack and so on. and trump feeds on that. you heard that clip. i hadn't heard that clip before that you play before we -- this segment started. but, you know, you hear how he's t

trump is going to run against whoever the nominee is, don, the exact same way. biden, buttigieg -- you mentioned them as moderates. they've raised their hands for the same thing. so i don't know that it matters to trump. i think he's going to run against them all the same because they've got the same policies. >> this is a very serious thing i want to ask you about here. i can't let this one slide. the former white house press secretary sean spicer making his debut on abc's "dancing with the stars" tonight. there he is, doing a salsa dance in a bright neon green shirt. >> no way. what the hell? >> is this what you remember from the white house podium. >> what is going on? >> they really did him dirty on "dancing with the stars." >> oh, my god! >> scott, can you hear this? >> oh, my god. what is that? >> i've seen the clip, yeah. >> so you've seen it. so is this the guy you you remember? >> he looks like a fluorescent green helium balloon. what is that? [ laughter ] >> i'm ready for "snl" this season. it's going to be great. >> what is happening right now? are we still watching this, do

." >> stephen: yes. ( laughter ) yes, it's true. people didn't know trump could be so nice-- specifically, don jr. and eric. (as eric) "wait, dad, you offered to give stuff to that ukrainian guy? why did you offer that guy stuff? i thought you said presents were for the weak! santa is gonna get an earful from me in my next letter." ( laughter ) he also insisted-- he also insisted-- ( cheers and applause ) ♪ ♪ he also insisted that there was nothing to see here. >> it's the single greatest witch hunt in american history, probably in history, but in american history. it's a disgraceful thing. the letter was a great letter, meaning the letter revealing the call. >> stephen: (as trump) "the letter was a great letter, that was actually a call. brrrng-brrng. oh, my mailbox is ringing. hello? sorry, i can't hear you. i'm all out of stamps." ( laughter ) then, this afternoon, trump sat down at the u.n. with the ukrainian president. their joint press conference began with trump explaining just how well he knew the ukrainian people. >> i know a lot of people from ukraine, they're great people, and i

white house in the counsel's office. barr's daughter mary also works in the treasury. trump's sons don jr. and eric do foreign business and his daughter ivanka is getting chinese patents and saudi grants to put all of that out there. >> it is a family affair it seems like at the white house. >> but hey, let's focus on hunter biden for a moment. it was a wild weekend of weather across the country as some states deal with an early taste of winter while others were dealing with record heat. nbc news's kendis gibson has more. >> a powerful and historic storm hitting the northern rockies. it's snow in september across at least six states just one week after the end of summer. in montana a blizzard and a state of emergency, more than three feet of snow in some parts. it's piling up on trees weighing heavy on power lines above. the northern part of the state socked in, storm chaser aaron jayjack in glacier national park. >> you can see the wind is blowing quite hard here, lots of snow. we do have whiteout conditions here. >> reporter: nearby wind pushed snow drifts onto city sidewalks, tr

story from washington. president trump continued to don play the reports describing his conversation with the ukrainian president in july as absolutely perfect. we had a great conversation. going to take a large congratulatory regarding the corrupting role of the corrupt they can write regarding the fact that we don't want our people like vice president biden down 6 the ending that they were up already in the ukraine the unverified and vague accusation against joe biden was echoed by the secretary of state if there was a lection interference that took place by the vice president i think the american people deserve to know we know there was interference in the 2016 election and if it's the case that there was something going on with the president's family because the conflict of interest and vice president biden behaved in a way that was inconsistent with the way leaders are to operate i think the american people deserve to know that joe biden says it was the obama administration as a whole along with the e.u. that called for the firing of the then ukrainian prosecutor back in 2016 an

after that. >> congressman, thank you for your time. >> thank you. thank you, don. >> is president trump outnixoning nixon? i'm going to ask two people who have seen it all, dan rather and sam donaldson next. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines and if you're pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you. i'm about to capture proof of the ivory billed woodpecker. what??? no, no no no no. battery power runs out. lifetime retirement income from tiaa doesn't. guaranteed monthly income for life. nooooo! ever since you brought me home, that day

was this, trump tower meeting, son don perfectly legal. again, owning up to it, nothing happened. last one, deflect and accused someone else. here we go, last sound. >> it's just a democrat witch hunt, here we go again. they failed with russia, they failed with recessions, and everything. the one who's got the problem is biden. you look at what biden did. biden did what they would like to have me do. except one problem, i didn't do it. >> right. okay. now, so on the deflect, the ukrainian witch hunt. he does this all time. this was a democratic ploy. nothing was there, this is democrats in the media. it's joe biden who has done the things wrong. there is a pattern here, this is an approach. it's one of the things that's consistent about. none of what i ran through are facts. and that's what we need, facts. what was on that call, what specifically did they talk about. why not release the whistle-blower complaint to congress. these are things that donald trump could make happen. he is choosing not to. >> that was fascinating. shout out to chelsea for producing that one. >> shout ou

: he did the best he could. [ laughter ] and with the hurricane possibly hitting florida, trump's not taking any chances he even sent don, jr. to the roof of mar-a-lago to give him live updates [ laughter ] "just, stay up there, don. [ laughter ] aim the golf club at the biggest cloud. [ laughter ] take the grip off. i want metal on metal. [ laughter ] i want you to hold it and just aim it and show me where." [ laughter ] but get this, during a press conference, trump said that he's never even heard of a a category five hurricane. [ light laughter ] so they explained it to him like this. they said, "look, if this is a a category one - [ laughter ] then this is a category five." [ laughter and applause he's like, "all right, i'll go thank you. it all makes sense now don, stay up there, don. some more news [ laughter ] trump's personal assistant just resigned after she shared details about trump's family with journalists at an off the record dinner. honestly, this doesn't seem like it's an easy job to fill. when offered the position, even alexa was like - >> no way in hell. >> jimmy: an

donald trump or does it is this part of the tough one don i think that it think that there is always going to be the 2 sides so for the left the people on the left they double take the rudy giuliani sound bites and they will be awful but for the diehard donald trump fans there to take the rudy giuliani soundbites and be like who are out of that so mazing so the question is what are the people middle thinking so what about bill weld and some of the other republicans who are challenging donald trump and want to have a primary system something that donald trump was in favor of in 2016 i don't think that joe walsh or bill weld are going anywhere. again united wow to think fantastically well and if i won that beautiful note of her many thank you both so much for being here thank you and thank you for joining me on this edition of politicking and also thank you so much to larry king for letting me sit in this chair today remember we love hearing from you so join the conversation on larry's facebook page and as always you can share your thoughts on twitter by tweeting at king's things and u

big deal. >> donald trump comes to government, i am sure he has lost money, don jr. has nothing to to with any of this, they try to drag him down, eric trump, ivanka trump, the whole trump family, they issue subpoenas like issuing lolly pops at the dentist when you are a kid. what it comes to the bidens, not one subpoena has been issued by either body of congress, republicans or democrats. with hunter biden no body wants to look at his bank account or interview his accountants, they have twist today haed this massn scandal to a donald trump scandal? high crimes and misdemeanor, you know that is a bridge too far, the american people are not going to buy this crap. when we come back, i want to talk about china. >> remember you can catch me, on levin tv, blaze tv, get your copy of unfreedom of the press, and secret empires by my friend peter schweizer, we'll be right back.

, donald trump is under nonstop investigation, and that is okay, have patrol politicians. don jr. said something to me the other day, yo can you imagine, e had been hike hunter biden and the president joe biden. >> imagine. we'll talk about you know about china. but imagine if don jr. went over on air force one with his dad and inked a big deal in an area he has no background. washington would go ballistic, i would, rightly so, such a different response to to it. when my book came out, number one on "new york times" bestseller list, i did your radio show, and fox, and no contact from the mainstream media. >> you write about republicans. >> absolutely. >> they don't want to hear. >> there is a cast system in washington d.c. they protect. i think one of reasons that their is so much animosity toward trump, some is ideological, some style or whatever, a lot is he represents a massive disruption to the business model of washington dc. which is you come in, you juice in your family, you juice in your friends, you serve in public service, you come out rich, and when you leave office yo

think he was trying to cover for don junior who had that trump tower meeting. >> yes. obviously that was a big part of the mueller report. >> right. >> kim, you read this transcript and the question is then is it a crime? is there enough wiggle room or is it a crime? >> well, the question with respect to impeachment isn't whether it's a crime. it's a political judgment and we now see tremendous number of democrats basically making the decision that this is sufficient for impeachment. the transcript itself, i think we just see a small piece of it. when the president comes out and says everybody thought this would be such a big deal, it's the white house that unilaterally made this public, not the congress that asked for it. so we have to see additional information. there's potential campaign finance violations, that is asking for something of value that could influence a campaign. if it turns out there was more information a information that the president actually dangled the foreign aid basically as a threat, you investigate my opponent or you don't get this money, that would be

a lot. >> sean: the question is will don lemon give passes and still blame trump? got to figure out that one. still major news about democratic mega donor at buck. a story on conspiracy theory nbc news, they didn't think it was worth or covering. imagine if he was a huge republican donor, do you think they'd be covering that? here, fox news contributor dan bongino. i do not know how you turn this into a story about trump but you've got to give fake news cnn credit for their creativity, geraldo. with that said, the double standard is real. >> please! >> sean: you think? what that apology be acceptable, if he said he is sorry? >> i do like trudeau. ed buck is a donor who was given a green light to be a sexual predator to gay black man. he should've been arrested in 2017 when the first one overdosed and died. now a second one overdosed and died and still the democratic district attorney did not go after ed buck. why? those are questions that must be answered by the district attorney. now she hits him with a $4 million bond. why didn't you do it when he had two dead gay black men and no

, again,his is not going to be easy for iran to don . eadyn, we've seen trump al saying he's going to provide intelligence to the saudis. again, there are probably going to be other signals that are sent, again, pot,ential clan destined means are an option as well, show of force within the gulf. we've already got an aircraft carrier, you know, there, and, again, i think this comesown, to you know, a very careful, del at the balancing act. >> woodruff: a what abo the fact that thepresident's formerational security advisor john bolton who's known to be a hawk when it comes toran is n longer in the administration? >> well, i mean, he was certainly central to setting a very bellicose tenor to u.s. policy to iran and i think it could reduce some ofthe escalation. you had the pentagon in the escalation and you have other sources from the u.s. government. >> woodruff: and the president's ownnstinct. >> of course, toward dealmaking. woodruff: you mentioned intelligence sharing and the united states has been reluctant to dh that in past, has it not, with saudi arabia,mony, to to -- i mean, to

, it's hard to spur a movement. there's a lot at stake in this reelection not just for president trump but for ivanka and also don jr. >> harris: clinton has tried to do it more than once. i want to ask this. you do see two things when you look at the lineage there in this photograph and obviously there is a familial type but there's also a youth tie. as we edged into 2020, one thing is about to change and that's the count on millennials in this country. they will overtake protected by you and others as our greatest generation ever including boomers. >> millennials will be a huge constituency. you look at for example of don jr.'s twitter feed, he has a huge following and he is one of the president's strongest surrogates on the campaign trail and he will be present long after president trump leaves office. that's an open question. but outside of the president you don't find many people in the republican -- that social media space that's more effective from someone like don jr. >> you know what i love about the way you take a look at things, you can dig deeper on what it would take to he
