everything about it is the way donald trump speaks and the way donald trump asked. he's the kind of guy that will call out the day before printing and say i need to make this change on page 176. that comes with a 10,000-dollar fine because we have to stop the presses. i want to make the change because it's not my boys. he takes a much more careful to use the things he writes than you would imagine for someone who helps him. with this you might manage a? >> guest: i would say is more of a delegator than a mic manager. he wants you to do a job well. he fills you are not doing your job well he says he's not going to make a 30-cent phonecall and this was in the day before cell phones to save himself $10,000 on 476 of those the words being laid incorrectly. if there's a problem he likes to be one of the principles it deals with adam this is gotten into trouble. in real estate works really well. and politics sometimes poor example of an opposition researcher with potential ties to the kgb context of rubio campaign rupiah would have sent a lawyer. donald trump said albeit

donald trump never did that. he walked into a diner new hampshire, he got along with everybody because he was comfortable in his skin. most people there were in snow boots, heavy jackets, cold out, blizzarding, he walked in a suit and tie, and sat down for a tall stack of pancakes and something else. one of his weakings ins is he ice terrible eater. >> host: cuff give example snooze he likes marz bars. he likes mcdonald's. he likes taco bell. he likes pancakes. the kind of stuff his wife would never go near. >> host: every time food. >> guest: exactly. the last guy who did that in the white house mask bill clinton who used to sneak out for a job and go to mcdonald's. people relate to that. you can retreat -- he's on he road and not eating that well. and everyone get gains weight on the road. he is a normal gay and the reason he is able to walk into these places because hees not wearing a costume and comfortable in his own skin, extremely comfortable, and americans don't dislike wealth, don't think. they dislike p

[laughter] but he grew up in upper middle-class he did not come from a poor background like his father had. his first sold first house split a company with his mother and he took that money and he built a second house and he built a third house small places, and he grew up outside of manhattan in a brick house a nice house, but not the flashy lights of the island an he said i'm going to use these connections and this power and i won't do what my father expects and i'll build skyscrapers in manhattan. the entire -- entire life is always gone out of that comfort zone and tried to do thing new he had it made and saying in his father's business he had it made in manhattan doing in television and he kept on going probably to a point where his life is unkivel compared to he's used to compared

along with donald trump jr. who's also neck deep in all this because he was also at the center of these various contacts with the russians and we have already seen the way mueller like any engs appearanced prosecutor goes after possible perjury or perhaps lying to federal investigators easy to nail someone like george papadopoulos and going after kushner, a donald trump jr. and know where that leads in the end and i think donald trump knows where that leads and we have to be concerned as the investigation moves forward that trump is going to think about trying to get rid of mueller. >> betsy, we have reports indicating tonight mueller is sending range of subpoenas to the trump campaign. and that means, of course, that any destruction or misuse of anything that's under subpoena is in and of itself a crime. >> and it's also an important new report going against what the public statements from folks in the white house and close to the white house have been suggesting. people close to the president and close to the

donald trump sr. tweets this. "very little pick up by the dishonest media of incredible information provided by wikileaks. so dishonest. rigged system." 15 minutes later? i mean, that's incredible. >> timing is everything, isn't it? you have to wonder was donald trump, jr. in the same vicinity as his father when he received that message. did he take his phone? did he hold his phone up and show his father, look at this message that i just got from wikileaks, which then in turn spurred his father to put that out. we should also note as was noted by julia that donald trump jr. in fact tweeted out a link that wikileaks was asking them to do the very next day as well. so there was even more of a connection there as well. i am wondering too is this the first connection that we've actually seen now where donald trump potentially now, potentially could have been aware of what was happening? because up until this point it seems like he has been able to hold it at a distance and it has been aides and senior adv

trump if you're donald trump. >> donald trump might make a difference choice about his children. >> sure would. >> here, the flynn and flynn jr. relationship is very transparent. one of the things i -- i think a lot of people have had this question. the trump/flynn relationship is really baffling. think of this. have you ever heard donald trump say anything nice about his vice president pence? nice about his -- about any member of miss cabinet? he sometimes has nice things to say about james mattis but not as secretary. nothing to say nice to about the secretary or state and the first lady of the united states, his wife. for michael flynn, there's praise after praise after praise. now, maybe this is an exception to the rule that donald trump does not have warm, human feelings, but there is -- this is the big sort of pirate's chest of mystery, the trump/flynn relationship. what is going on there? it's something to borrow the president's language, very, very special. >> professor vance, i want to go to your experience as prosecutor. this is something that david said that prosecutors d

donald trump lost. and steve bannon lost and steve bannon proved to anyone in republican politics who still wasn't sure what a complete and total loser steve bannon really is that that's all he knows how to do. exit polls show that virginia voters rejected the trump/bannon poison 57% of virginia voters said they disapprove of the way the president is handling his job with 47% disapproving strongly. only 17% of voters said the reason they cast a ballot was to support trump. twice as many, 34%, they turned out specifically to oppose donald trump. president trump's efforts to repeal the affordable care act also played a role in ed gillespie's defeat. health care was the most important issue for them and those voters broke for democrat candidate ralph northern by a 3 to 1 margin over gillespie. today congressman taylor from virginia beach blamed donald trump. >> i think it was a referendum and the division and thedy visive rhetoric in the country right now. i think it's important for republicans to self ref

right, i get to do donald trump again? alec: no, not at all. the thing i'm doing that i think people enjoy to some degree is channeling their frustration. it has been a year since he won, and people have been very, very confused and frustrated. this show we have done has helped them to manage those feelings. nick: is there a downside to the comedy? there are many people who regard donald trump as an object of fear, and you have made it an object of fun. does that in a way have a normalizing effect? alec: people have said that, and i've said that myself, prompted by other people. a critical mass of americans bought this nonsense that trump is this crack, go get rejected if you see on some stupid reality show, -- go get executive that you see on some stupid reality show. the portrayal on "snl" had little to do with it at all. i don't think people view "snl" for any late-night comedy -- i don't think people view trevor noah or samantha bee or late-night hosts of tv shows have any role in the political process. nick: let's tal

donald trump jr.'s secret communication with wikileaks about material stolen from the democratic party became public today. a new stress test for the trump administration and the trump campaign in facing the special prosecutor's investigation. and that happened on the same day that roy moore faced another stress test when he heard from the fifth accuser, the fifth woman, number five, to come forward to say roy moore sexually assaulted her when she was 16 years old. and she came forward today because, she said, of the courage shown by the first four women who accused roy moore. >> i think he should step aside. >> this afternoon, another woman came forward with allegations that roy moore sexually assaulted her when she was a nigh mor. >> this is absolutely false. i never did what she said i did. >> nobody can say that we believe his denial more than we believe the women. >> i believe the women, yes. >> it's why i believe that it was appropriate for me to withdraw my indoersment. >> i just think there's

donald trump jr. and the wikileaks, which by the way, is characterized by the cia director, president trump's own ci director as a hostile intelligent service abetted by the russians. so, he was donald trump jr. actively engaged with a known russia agent. i want him to be subpoenaed to testify in public about all his communications. i want there to be subpoenas of all the relevant documents because there's no assurance that we're seeing all of those documents without that kind of subpoena. >> do you believe it's possible, then candidate, donald trump seni sr., did not know his son was communicating with wikileaks? >> one of the striking assets of these communications is the tone of them. and also, the fact that donald trump jr. was in fact communicating up the chain of the trump campaign organization, including likely to his father campaign. there is so much circumstances evidence that this now president was knowledgeable about the conversation. >> the week that don jr. was asked to post the link from

trump. 16% of voters today came out to stunt donald trump. we saw a similar story in new jersey, a bluer state than virginia, of course. so president trumps approval rating is lower there. at 32%. 66% disapprove. that's tough numbers for the republican candidate to see there. then, of course, the trump factor, 57% of new jersey voters today, wolf, say the president wasn't a factor at all. of those that thought it was a factor, 29%, again, nearly 3 to 1 there say in opposition to the president. 11% say they came tout to support trump. one of the reasons donald trump may not be as big a factor in new jersey is the incumbent governor chris christie is even more unpopular than president trump. he may be having a bigger factor on new jerseyens minds today. >> very interesting. i want you to stay with us. i also want to bring in some of our other political specialists. dana, let me start with you. what do you make of the attitude of voters towards president trump. >> if you focus on virginia where the race is certainly going to be. he is certainly

this was a referendum on donald trump. donald trump was on the ballot, he was attached at the hip with ed gillespie. and the fact is, you know, ralph northam outperformed hillary clinton with women, for example. he won with 21% of women. where hillary only 17%. what was fascinate was he outperformed donald trump, who won with married women by 1 point, and ralph of course won by a whopping 9%. i think this was a body blow to the republican agenda but it's not just the top of the ticket. down-ballot democrats picked up four sate assembly seats, elected their first transgender member to the statehouse, two latinas to the statehouse. we're winning down-ballot, not just top ballot. we've flipped the new jersey governor's race, of course. and then, of course in seattle where there was this one sort of pivotal state senate race for control of the upper chamber in the state of washington, democrats are poised to win that race as well. this was a blue wave night. >> you've had a lot coffee tonight. >> just stating the facts. >> for

you're fired. >> donald trump has created a persona. when we're getting now as president on television all the time is the persona because he's so dramatic, so volatile. he's a villain of a very large kind wto most people in america. he's the ultimate hero to another group. and so i'm afraid we're living in a time where a persona president that doesn't even know his real self is kind of role playing what a president would be while we're watching a reality tv as our american political theater. >> are you going to be tweeting whatever you're upset about, just put out there when you're president? >> it's a modern form of communication. i'm going to do very restrained -- >> so help me god. >> congratulations, mr. president. >> some hoped that the twitter habit would end after he won. >> this is also lies. joy behar who was fired from her last show for lack of ratings was even worse on the "the view". >> months after the win it became obvious the insults and obsession with ratings would not stop. >> first of all, i wasn't fired from my last

that was a moment where donald trump failed. it should not have come as a surprise. >> in the aftermath we've had larger discussions about intifada. we know how it can mislead media decides the reach of the outright visit a mistake or something to have the conservative movement is all conservative versus what cnn or msnbc or the new york times or any other element that has an agenda to elevate and promote what i tell my audience not to let the media determine your reality look to a broader base of information. for those was the media that's our bubble. is it possible were mistaking the power and influence of that group we recognize has issues has major issues. >> i would not describe neo-nazi the ku klux klan is having issues. >> this would be a difference between conservative and the outright. paper.com, some people there, what milo represents versus a guy in the clan suit. i don't know people listening and we would have disagreements about do we have a definition about what the alt-right is versus white supremacist? or is this

i want to bring some of donald trump from the 1980s, who you knew then. the younger donald trump. here he was on the "today" show. >> right now, jane, i love what i'm doing. i've built up one of the greatest companies and i'm very proud of and it there is probably nothing like it. i'm very proud of what i've done and been able to do. >> the demeanor strikingly different. >> strikingly. what happens to a person under the time of pressure and threat he is. i believe what accounts for that is flynn's imminent flip or apparent flip. willingness to tell the story. i believe what is causing his decompensation at this level is his belief that they are going to get him on russia. i think that there is a very good chance that mueller has that, as you've been saying. has that evidence. and i think trump is terrified of that. so he is both striking out and he is deflecting, and he is in a survival state. i've said this before. he is in a state of fight or flight. you lose the capacity to reflect and think rationally and logically and you simply lash out and react in an attempt to defend your
