>> trump: okay. that's just a figure of speech. >> stahl: just like-- no, it's like an embrace. >> trump: it-- well, let it be an embrace. let it be whatever it is to get the job done. >> stahl: yeah, but he's a bad guy. >> trump: look. let it be whatever it is. i get along with him really well. i have a good energy with him. i have a good chemistry with him. look at the horrible threats that were made. no more threats. no more threats. >> stahl: china. >> trump: i get along with him. it's very important. china, let's go. >> stahl: i'm skipping across the world here. you've slapped a lot of tariffs on them-- >> trump: $250 billion. >> stahl: going to do more? >> trump: might. might. >> stahl: round three? >> trump: they want to negotiate, lesley. they want to negotiate. >> stahl: are you ready? >> trump: look. >> stahl: are you ready to-- >> trump: i have a great chemistry also with president xi of china. i don't know that that's necessarily going to continue. i told president xi, we cannot continue

trump and how much money fred trump had given donald trump was so much more than anybody thought. and we started to look at the money, then we realized all these tax schemes were behind it. this is incredible reporting journey of one revelation after another. sometimes you do these projects and you spend weeks where you're sort of thinking we're attend of the road. we never, ever had two or three days where we thought okay, we're running out here. we had so many roads to go down, and there is even more left. it was an incredible just discovery. and once we got these documents, it just opened up. it was an alice in wonderland moment for us where we're like wow. >> and going at it through that route that you're describing with the fred trump empire and the surprises and donald trump's finances around the timing of that sale and stuff, clearly that led you to public facing documents that were -- you could get to through the fred trump business empire. >> real estate is public documents. this is where we started. and we started to see, for example, in beachhaven when we went back and

because he worked for donald trump, even though he said should trump run was independent of donald trump. >> there 2011, they ruled in cohen's favor, a win, another way of proving his loyalty. >> the way he initially described it to me was a father-son relationship, and when i asked him, why he has blind loyalty, he always threw the question back to me, would you do this for your father? >> at the end of the day, only people donald trump really considered family, anyone who considers themself to be almost a trump family member should really think about it. >> he fought for his boss by aggressively attacking donald trump's enemies, real or perceived. >> a war of words between a beauty queen and organizers of the miss usa pageant. rigged. just after the 2012 miss usa pageant, they claimed finalists were predetermined. >> i want the truth to be made known. >> he spoke with cohen's about his daughter's claims, and he said cohen is belligerent. >> it's absolutely terrifying to get you on the phone and intimidate you, but part of what a lawyer in that position is supposed to do is intimidating

president trump, including an inflatable trump baby blimp - and if the british disliked trump before he arrived, his visits only made things worse. - the president breached british protocol by publicly disclosing the details of a conversation he had with queen elizabeth. - he broke royal protocol by walking in front of the queen, but she quickly stepped forward to correct the error. - he also today had tea with the queen. he did keep her waiting for ten minutes. - video recorded the very punctual 92-year-old queen checking her watch prior to the president's arrival. - good lord. is there--is there any rule he didn't break? he's like, "president trump in hot water after pushing the queen into the royal swimming pool." for more on trump's u.k. visit, we're joined by an actual british person, gina yashere, everybody. [cheers and applause] gina, in the u.s.-- in the u.s., trump's u.k. visit seemed to not go so well, but as a british person, what do you think? - it was an unmitigated disaster, trevor. this cockwomble--yeah, that's what i called him-- he came--came to our country and insul

trump. in the 1950's, trump lived in a trump's-owned -- woody guthrie trump-owned building in brooklyn. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman with nermeen shaikh. "the new york times" expose, the reporters referenced several reporters who did groundbreaking work on trump's finances. one of them was the late wayne barrett who wrote the book "trump: the deals and the downfall." he appeared on [captioning made possible by democracy now!] in 2016 and said fred trump's financial support of donald trump was "unbelievably crucial in donald's rise to prominence. >> be opened his first office in manhattan, the rent was paid by his father's company out here on avenue the and brooklyn. everything that he did, whether be the grand hyatt, for example, to get the financing, he got the financing from two banks that his father had used, used his father's relationship banker. and the father had to sign the financing agreements. they're not going to get a 30 milli

of the trump organization. michael cohen had found it. >> it was alluring to be in trump tower. this is a man who idolized him for years before he ended up working there. it was a dream come true. >>> coming up --

trump said. what we are seeing is president trump who is uncharacteristically restrained from the days after she made the allegations is realizing that some supporters agree with him on the fact that they believe there are holes in her memory. the president is making it clear saying his supporters at the rallies are coming to the defense of brett kavanaugh. you see he says voters are really angry at the vicious and despicable way democrats are treating brett kavanaugh. the president made a few comments about christine blasey ford and when he realized it would rev the crowd up, that is when he went on the attack against her. we also saw the president play both sides of this. he stood by brett kavanaugh and said think of your husband and your sons. this could happen to them. then he distanced himself saying iont met this guy a few weeks ago. he is not my friend or anything like that. the politics of this, what the white house is waiting on is for the fbi investigation to come back to see if it reve

he's been insulted by trump. he's, he's decided that that's it. >> narrator: in the west wing, all hell broke loose. >> don mcgahn, the legal counsel, bursts into reince priebus' office and says, "we've got trouble. not only do we have a special counsel appointed, but jeff sessions has just resigned." priebus says, "you're kidding me." heiebus goes running down the staircase intoest wing parking lot. >> finds sessions in his car preparing to lea, and he bangs on the door. "you got to come out. you got to come back in. you can't leave this w you can't just blow up like this." and priebus essentially almost has to drag him back up into the west wing, where vice president pence and steve bannon then come in and joinpr bus and talk sessions off the ledge. >> it's clear that the mueller ininvestigation is just ge started. we're going to head to washington, where the e house... >> narrator: across town, in an undisclosed secure location, the new special counsel, robert s. mueller iii, was just getting started. >> wheyo

and he was donald trump really before donald trump. he focused on illegal immigration as an issue and took it national really. and he was one of the first to endorse trump. the question will be whether trump's coattails are long enough to pull him over in the senate race against bob casey. it looks like they're not at the moment. >> when you talk to trump voters for your book and i guess it was several months ago you were last able to check in with them for the book. of the 12 in your focus group only one trump voter was in doubt about donald trump at this point. >> right. i checked in with them much more recently even after the book closed, i've been in touch with them informally. and that number still holds. of the 12 i profiled, 11 say that if the election were to be held -- the 2020 election were to be held tomorrow they would enthusiastically vote for trump. only one has slipped into the undecided, as you mentioned. i guess the question becomes both for the midterms and 2020 is what is the ceiling on trump's base. >> is it a ceili

. >> president trump, yeah. and the idea that he's already making excuses before the facts are known, it's typical but it hurts us internationally. >> ann. >> well, there is quite a lot there. certainly the saudi context is a little different than some of trump's other dalliances shall we say with autocrats, putin and kim, principally because republican and democratic administrations before his have been accused of coddling the saudis who do produce an enormous share of the world's oil, have an enormous share of the world's oil reserves and spread their money wide and wisely if their goal is to keep other governments accountable to them or in their debt. but what trump is doing here i think is really interesting. you saw him shift today. you played some of it earlier from a kind of a shrug no one really know what is happened, we have to wait and see, who know, it looks bad to today saying that he believes jamal khashoggi is dead and that there need to be some consequences for that the consequences go directly to

to take advice from. >> in march of 2016, trump asked manafort to join the campaign. >> i've known trump of 30 years, and when somebody started talking about the need to bring in additional people to deal with this process, friends from not the political realm, even, he listened, and then he reached out. >> manafort was back in the spotlight, but few around him knew he was in desperate need of millions of cash, just to stay afloat. to that end, as prosecutors would later discover, manafort had been submitting fraudulent loan applications to several banks, which would ultimately net him $20 million in loans. >> you'd think he could have just sold off some assets or changed his lifestyle to be spending less, but the fact that he didn't really shows just how much a part of his identity this high flying lifestyle had become. >> soon after joining the campaign, manafort reportedly e-mailed an intermediary for the russian oligarch still looking to know what happened to his nearly $19 million investment with manafort. >> once manafort started working for trump, there were messages that he sent

trump: nice man. the casualties of the democrats open border crusade are really a lot and far more than anyone would know of innocent american families and lives. democrat immigration policies allow poisonous drugs and ms 13 killers to pour into our country. these are not people that you don't want to have ice around. ice goes into the nests like it is a day in the office. even tough guys here, you don't want to do it. she has done it, she said. if you did it, you didn't do it by choice. she said, no i didn't. what is this story all about? come on up your -- no, i'm kidding. sanctuary cities and this is what happens, they release violent predators out of jail and straight into your communities, and then they are protected. they are protected people. a democrat victory in november would be a bright, flashing invitation to every human trafficker, drug trafficker -- think of it. human trafficking is the highest it has ever been in the history of this world. that is because of the internet. you wouldn't t

there's a lot that we don't know about president trump than donald trump candidate trump in his history with money. so that was really the beginning of us deciding, let's dig deeper. let's try to pull back as many layers of this onion as we can. >> shepard: at one point during the article, you write, "over time as donald trump careened from one financial disaster to the next, his father found ways to give him more money. even in 1990, mr. trump tried to have his father's will rewritten in a way that fred trump alarmed and angered and could result in his empire to be used to bail out his son's failing businesses." >> that was a huge surprising find for us. was what we were seeing is that fred trump through, you know, starting when donald trump was 3 years old and moving forward had been endlessly creative in coming up with new ways to get money into donald trump's pocket. he didn't pay him to be like on his payroll, but he paid him to be his purchasing agent, a consultant. he gave him the laundry revenue from the buildings. even after this incredible generosity from fred trump to donald

everybody knows trump lies, everybody knows trump, who he is. you can't point at the bogey man anymore. you've got to give them tangible reasons why they should be afraid on the democratic side. those are some very real reasons. >> you have given out advice that some are ignoring. people ignore donny deutsch at their peril. i'm going to play you a couple of ads that democrats are basically doing that, obsessing over trump, take a look. >> barbara comstock might as well be barbara trumpstock. barbara trumpstock agrees, voting with trump 98% of the time. >> how much was your tax cut? >> it was not a lot. >> for someone like side table, not a lot is quite a bit. ♪ 99 bottles of beer on the wall 99 bottles of about beer ♪ >> how often does mimi walters vote with donald trump? 99% of the time. >> i'm making a different point. in districts that are clearly anti-trump, you attach yourself, you got more trump, you don't want that. republicans, you you attach to trump if it's working. i'm talking about ads that are saying, donald trump is a liar, and

trump is entitled to full legal fees. at fox news, great, now i can go after horse face and her third-rate laywyer in the great state of texas. she'll confirm the letter she signed. she knows nothing about me. a total con." horse face. the president of the united states called a woman with whom he had an alleged sexual relationship horse face. unfortunately it's the kind of insult, personal, childish and mean, that people have become so accustom to with this president that it barely registered as news but it renders the first lady's "be best" campaign, anti-bullying effort, pointless and satirical and ivanka's trump stated mission of being an ambassador for women a pointless joke. how could these women or any woman in the white house pretend they work for anyone other than a very loud mouthed and very thin skinned bully? it even shows bashi ining women alleged victim of a sexual assault, is more than a quirk to trump's personality. it's a political strategy he thinks is a winner. >> professor blasey ford got before the se

he's a lunatic but he loves trump so let's blame trump. sara: there are things you can be doing to create more unity so you are not having people acting out and targeting pundits. he may say it's time to call for unity, but then he goes to his rallies and still' criticizes cnn. howie: there was some divisiveness in this country before donald trump was elected. you have donald trump saying the media should be more civil and i'm seeing less reflection on that. >> this is what's been difficult for me to watch as a conservative, someone who monitored terrible media coverage. it's part of the reason i came to the city to do what i do. obviously cnn was the victim this week. they had a device stoanlt their headquarters. when you see at rallies, "cnn sucks," i would never do that personal lire, but cnn doesn't look at why this is happening. the chryons cnn ran on their lower thirds this week are ridiculous. it has to stop. i hate it, threw there is room for self-reflection. howie: cnn's new york bureau was evacuated and the anchors had to go out

cohen saying he did so as trump's direction. trump denied having affairs with either women. the public feud between cohen and trump a drastic 180 from the previously ironclad relationship. >> i'll do anything to protect mr. trump. i am obviously loyal and very dedicated to mr. trump. >> reporter: the president defending his former attorney as recently as april after the fbi raided cohen's manhattan home, hotel room, and office. >> i just heard that they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys. good man. and it's a disgraceful situation. it's a total witch hunt. i said that is now in a whole new level of unfairness. >> reporter: but as cohen fell deeper into legal trouble, trump began changing his tune. >> mr. president -- >> look, i did nothing wrong. this stuff would have come out a long time ago. i did nothing wrong. >> is he still your friend? >> i haven't spoken to him in a long time. >> reporter: as he awaits sentencing in december, according to his lawyers he is speaking to investigators, including from special counsel robert mueller's office. likely an a

trump is trump. he makes his own decisions. >> what does he say when he calls you? what do you talk about? >> what's that? >> what do you talk about? >> i've talked to him about -- i did "morning joe" a couple days in a row. he called me afterwards to talk about charlie sykes, believe it or not. he's called me about bill shine. bill shine is a friend of mine. he says, what are we doing here? and i gave shine resounding endorseme endorsements. saying the guy is wonderful for the country and for the administration. >> before he got hired or after? >> this was after. >> listen, eric, people should know that you and i have conversations like this before, right? >> yes. >> not on television. what would you have done if the former president would not come on fox news at all, and the former president had endorsed my book or jake tapper's book or anderson's book or, i don't know, rachel maddow's. i'm throwing out people that he won't come on as president. what do you think you would have done and other fox news hosts and conservatives media, what do you think would have hap

trump do not. esther trump's grandfather -- mr. trump's grandfather am a from what i understand, he was on a run from the german prescription into the army. his grandmother was an impoverished scottish refugee looking for a better life in new york. you would expect these people to have a little more compassion, little more realization that immigrants are this good for country and have been good for this country. instead, they've turned this poisonous vilification of people and dehumanizing them. this feeds into the crazy coconspiracy theories that leadd people, these unhinged people to act outand sayoc their own personal inadequacies by being something important through violence. amy: we're going to have to go to break -- >> it is an old story. amy: we're going to go to break and come back to this discussion, dr. david glosser, uncle of stephen miller, speaking to us from philadelphia. he is former faculty member at boboston university scschool of medicine and jeffeferson medical cocollege. hias.a volunteer for jews back in a momom

the news tonight, as it will be through midterm election night itself, is trump-trump-trump, that's the way he wants it. the question is, how will voters react? calculated, there's no such thing as overexposure, trump's apparent goal now is to dominate the national news, signalling that for better or worse, come november, it's all about trump. in the first 15 days of october, catch this. the president has held eight rallies. that's one more than one every other nate, conducted six major interviews and made him available to answer questions on at least 20 other occasions. and while the president is traditionally opted for favorable platforms like fox, to spread his message, he ventured outside his comfort zone last night appearing on "60 minutes." showing he can stand up to tough questions from a real journalist, leslie stahl. here's how trump, when challenged, declined to single out the russians for their 2016 attack on the integrity of our elections. >> do you believe that the russians interfered in the 2016 campaign -- election? >> they meddled, but i think china meddled, too -- >> wh

she told trump that last week. i still don't know the real backstory, and frankly, nor does really anyone that i've spoken to in it the white house or outside the white house within the circles that you would normally expect would know this. the news, mike pompeo was caught off guard by this, and as were other senior foreign policy officials. it was kept very, very, very close. right now, i can confirm that people inside the white house view dina powell as a front-runner for the job. by no means is that a done deal, but that is a name that is now being discussed inside the white house as the successor for nikki haley. >> and ashley parker, nbc news is also confirming the same reporting that jonathan swan has, that dina powell is under consideration for the top u.n. job. she was in full disclosure, she was my former colleague in the bush 43 white house. remains close. she's one of these people who like nikki haley straddles establishment republican circles but is also a member in good standing with donald trump and,

fred trump reported no such gift. did donald trump? i don't know. fred and mary transferred over $1 billion in wealth to their children. that's not really wrong, you have money, you want to give it to your kids, we understand. what about the taxes? 55% estate tax, that would be $550 million. the trump's paid a total of 52 million. it's about 5% of what they were supposed to pay. deny everything through his lawyer and attack the source. this is the response. the new york times allegations of fraud and tax evasion are 100% false and highly de familiar tory. president trump had no involvement whatsoever with these matters. he was certainly part of the architecting of this scheme. the affairs were handled by other trump members who were not experts themselves and, therefore, relied entirely upon the aforementioned licensed professionals to ensure full compliance with the law. the white house is also responding, sarah sanders says -- it's sad to witness this misleading attack against the trump family by the failing new york times. many decades ago, the i

donald trump and donald trump jr. are coming to texas. >> betow has to be pretty happy. he will help the congressional candidates. this may help him raise money, too. people will watch that trump junior is coming and they'll give more money to him. >> thanks one and all for being here. how are a extinguished yale alum and fraternity connected to a cartoon about president trump? we'll tell you after this. so you get what you want, without paying for things you don't. number 6. i know. where do i put it? in my belly. (vo) one family. different unlimited plans. starting at $40 per line on the network you deserve. traffic and roads... a mess, honestlyrents going up,le. friends and family moving out of state, millions of californians live near or below the poverty line. politicians like gavin newsom talk about change, but they've done nothing. sky-high gas and food prices. homelessness. gavin newsom, it happened on your watch. so, yeah. it is time for a change. time for someone new. >>> some of the most biting criticism of

trump: right. ms. chinn: and the work that you've done with secretary perdue to get many out into our rural communities, we really appreciate the reverse-path auction through the fcc. missouri was awarded $254 million of that. it's going to connect 95,000 homes to high-speed internet. and we just really appreciate it. missourians appreciate what you're doing on their behalf to make their rural communities vibrant again, and to help the agriculture industry pass on to that next generation of farmers and ranchers. pres. trump: great. well, it's my honor. and you have a great race going on out there. ms. chinn: we do. pres. trump: and that will make a big difference. a very positive difference, the outcome. i won't say it because i'm not a political person, so i won't discuss that. [laughter] i won't discuss that in front of the press, okay? go ahead. how about yourself? ms. cundiff: that's funny. so missouri is well represented here. again, i'm from st. charles, missouri, representing the community banki

president trump: yes. because our justice department and fbi played right into their hands with the stupid investigation or whatever you call it. people say i'm not under investigation. i'm not a target of this investigation which nobody likes to say. but it played into their hand. if they want to sow chaos. they got it for nothing. we did it to ourselves. the chaos, the stupid chaos. it hasn't been talked about for a long time because people don't believe it. who is going to believe i call russia to give me help. and everyone does say, richard bird, they asked him, he's the head of the senate intelligence. they asked, did you see collusion in he says no, i didn't see collusion. but he said there was no collusion. as you know, the house, devin nunes, they came out with a ruling there was no collusion. but richard bird, they asked during the bloods in north and south carolina. they said what about this committee? he said we have found no collusion. trish: collusion aside. the concern is putin and the folks

i think donald trump gets that. he changed the towels out because he wanted them to be softer, because they weren't as soft as the towels that were on his trump plane. >> well, towels and thread count, those are important things. >> it's air fun

. >> that trump base has been fid with donald trump, and i will say this, the democrats had the anti-trump venom going. they had the supersoaker, if you will. the problem is now publicans have their own super soak ner brett kavanaugh. i will just say you mntioned 2010 and 1994. what wasg motivatn those elections? the tea party in 2010, both decrats suffered under it. this time around you don't have that full on hate because you have it on both sides. i think that's a big difference. >> one specific group to watch, if youber the special election in alabama, black women voted in huge numbers and we -- people i know wn there. before that election i heard stuff i hadn't heard before in terms of organizing activity, enthusiasm for elections. i would watch that, particularly throughout the south. in a state like north carolina, south carolina, in georgia especially where there's a big governor's election, i would watch that group. >> peggy, i want to point out one other thing. one of the missing pieces of analysis in 2016 that we didn't surface in time that i think would have helped us understan

rememb remember, it's trump on the ticket. don't forget. it's trump on the ticket. enthusiasm on the republican side is there for trump. he's trying to say -- he's trying to transition this into i'm still on the ticket, folks. what donald junior said is true. don't forget. you like trump, you like this. please make it to the polls gl here is what's interesting. democrats are saying we need our message to be more than just not trump and the republican -- what donald trump is saying is just vote with trump. >> if i were a democratic strategist, i would say if you're going to vote democratic and you're voting because you hate trump, do it. take the vote however you can get t a win is a win and a loss is a loss in the end. if the democratic message -- if it's going to be about health care, this or that, whatever brings the democrat to the poll, do it because republicans are going to do the same thing. >> let talk about indiana. fox has a poll out saying democratic incumbent -- this guy is a moderate. topping democratic challenger mike braun by two points. last night bra

she's playing democrats and republicans, the trump folks and the trump family as well. the president loves to hear his daughter praised, so she's, you know, 2024, look out. going to be on the ticket. >> a lot of republican establishment types really like nikki haley. they're really rooting for her to run. >> i got to go, guys. thank you. fascinating conversation. i'll see you next time. >>> only one month to go to the midterms, and our new cnn poll shows democrats have a big lead, especially among women. we're going to dig into why two-thirds of women voters say that they're voting dem, next. you won't find that on a map. i'll take you there. take this left. if you listen real hard you can hear the whales. oop. you hear that?

all praise donald trump. donald trump is smart, he's strong, he's somebody who knows what he's doing. brett kavanaugh in his supreme court nomination speech, odd that that even happened, said it was the greatest honor of my life that donald trump bestowed this on me. these are all people who say nice things about him. he's very simple in that way. you say nice things about him, he says nice things about you. doesn't ov don't overthink it. >> coming up, tax particulcticsn projects failed. >> and now former trump lawyer michael cohen is planning to go after the president politically. what cnn is learning about his plan to hit the campaign trail with democrats. and after roseanne barr's departure, we finally now how the network wrote her off. s on , every day... not just "airline purchases."

"oh, yeah? well, i'm going to shove it in my mouth and it'll end up in the same place. [ laughter ] second, it's easy to talk tough but unless you're actually willing resign and tell the american people everything you know, then your tough talk is worthless. john kelly is like a kid who tells his friends he's going to stand up to the bully who steals hehis lunch money and then lunchtime comes, tells the bully, "keep shaking there's more in my back pocket." [ laughter ] now trump has denied all of this and yesterday in the oval office he called woodward's book a work of fiction, but that's not what he told woodward on the phone ca when hed him just a few weeks ago to complain that he hadn't been interviewed for the book. ndodward recorded the call trump was

trump. right? and the irony is that story really comes from for a lot of voters what they learned about the president on "the apprentice" which is actually sort of -- it is reality television, and it's quite fictitious. so now you have actual reality bumping up with the fiction of reality tv. and so that is huge and cannot be overstated. at the same time, again, what we'll have to wait and see, this literally just broke, one thing that struck me especially about the president's core group of supporters, the president has often been able to say to things like making products overseas that otherwise would be unacceptab unacceptable, wouldn't you have done the same thing? wouldn't you, too, have avoid e taxes if you could? that's smart business. we don't know what his response will be. on one hand, you're right, it total he undercuts the myth of president trump, dealmaker, the businessman. on the other hand, it will be interesting to see if the president can find a way to talk his way out of th

trump supporters. the president hasd voi alarms of a group of 7,000 migrants traving from central ameri to the u.s. border. president trump: you're going to finds-, middle easterns. and we're not allowing them in our country. robert: mr. trump has not produced evidence of these claims. yet, the administration k continues to bim up ahead of the mid terms. >> after a number of people did put their own credibility on the line and backed him up, he told reporters, you're right, i have no proof. but the could be proof. and that's because the president has realized that fea mongering and these scare tactics do work. one notable difference is that unlike in 2016 when his own party the republicans were conflicted whether this was a od strategy or not you have a lot more republicans falling in line in part because the president won in 2016. thatne kiedis tinks. ane second thing it's not just the president'sage because he is the president and he has the federal bureaucracy at his. dispos he can do things like we

apartments even a case of buying a trump yacht they also mention as well that trump himself boasted back in or with twenty fifteen selling his apartments to saudis for forty fifty million dollars he said the letters also being sent to trump's sons they are executive vice presidents of the trump organization so this is a very serious step made by the democrats donald trump himself well yesterday he tweeted i have no business ties in saudi arabia he's likely to brush the soft as far as the letter is concerned from the democrats he can probably go ahead and do that but in the light of the magnitsky act which is actual legislation which is a bipartisan call from the senate that's a lot more difficult to just brush away mike hanna thank you very much indeed germany's foreign minister has joined the western edge in saudi arabia to cooperate saying attacks on journalists are not acceptable and he's called for an immediate explanation from riyadh. for use in this case is and remains extremely worrying the current take is ations a serious and one has to say disturbing therefore of clearly ex

the trump administration is restoring the law. shannon: they also said they don't comment on a leaked document, commenting on anything about that but they said the broad definition of sex on a federal court in december 2016 and the obama administration did not appeal. the court order remains in full force in effect today and hhs is bound by it as we review the issue. what do you make of that explanation? >> everybody does deserve to be treated with respect. i disagree with tony and the hhs, they are split on gender orientation. on the civil rights act. we could go back 1000 years and egyptians had 3 genders identified. this is not something new, not out of the blue. it is identified more than the binary nature of gender as defined in our bible that tony and i read and broader than that and hour laws are here to protect those who are minorities and can be discriminated against. >> to talk about this definition, for federal law. >> before the midterms absolutely not and we will see what happens november 6th. it will be a bigger issu

trump? >> not in a million years. >> but just imagine -- just imagine it may open him up to people who -- but not in a million years. it would never happen. stop fantasizing. >> it would never happen. >> stop fantasizing. >> the problem is he's a one-trick pony. all he does is divides in order to conquer politically. that's been true throughout his political career since 2015. i think it was true in his life before then. and what he's forgetting is, you know, this is a guy who wears as a badge of honor -- he says, i don't read books. i don't read history. well, okay. but for one result of that is he doesn't understand what this democracy is. >> that's obvious, yeah. >> and our whole expectation of a president is, yes, he'll be a tough political leader. he will propose things that make a lot of people angry. we understand that. but also what you need from a president, especially during a time of crisis, you were kind enough to mention my book, which is about wars. but this is also true of pre

and the trump people were concerned. the republican party is not going to vote for trump, even if he should be elected. they wanted to look for people to look for companies, to look for someone who can make sure the 5,000 delegates are influenced to vote for trump and against ted cruz. this is one of the reasons that rick gates was brought to the campaign in the first place. he is in contact with the person by the name of george birnbaum, a king pin in the success to win the elections in 1996, and heavily connected with israeli officials. in a meeting in hotel in d.c. that time they discussed the possibility of hiring an israeli intelligence company, company staffed with former israeli intelligence operatives, highly trained with manipulation of the social media called sigh group. in order to deploy a fleet, army of bots and avatar fictitious identities, army of bots to influence, locate, trace 5,000 delegates, collect intelligence, assemble intelligence about the people, and try to connect them and feed them with pro-tr

and republicans have supported trump. they have legislatively supported trump. and they have supported trump in the media. so, you know, it's just false that they have been against trump. i don't hear a whole lot of republican criticism of trump. >> this has been interesting. and we'll do it again and maybe even with more time and look, i think reality does matter. i'm going to land on that side of that particular debate. bill and george, thank you both. >>> still ahead, oprah weighing in on the midterms. we'll show it to you next. ito take care of anyct messy situations.. and put irritation in its place. and if i can get comfortable keeping this tookus safe and protected... you can get comfortable doing the same with yours. preparation h. get comfortable with it. so it's no wonder we announced our new 9-grain wheat subdients. in the middle of a wheat field. when you've got news this big, it's not enough to just add it to the menu. where's the 'freak yeah!' in that? to celebrate a new sandwich with a taste so inspired, we introduced it in the place that inspired

>> trump: people say. people say that in the-- >> stahl: yeah, but what about the scientists who say it's worse than ever? >> trump: you'd have to show me the scientists, because they have a very big political agenda, lesley.

h so trump does, and in getting trump, they end up reporting what trump said. that was the tipping point, plus what kavanaugh did to save himself. but you are right, presumption of innocence gone. they were close to killing that by intimidating republican on that committee. but it didn't work again because i believe the president came in and saved the day. >> sean: look, i don't havere a crystal ball. i always thought and believed in my heart the media is wrong, trump can win. you can see it, you can feel it. i don't know who is going to run against obama in '08. you saw the crowds, you saw the enthusiasm, in that case, i think it was a lot of hype and no change, typical left-wing policies. you predicted to me that it would fail, and it did fail. but something is different. president trump -- you could see building momentum. and now we have these midterms. florida, they could pick up a senate seat. i think you could pick one up in missouri. i think you will hold nevada. i think you will win in arizona. north dakota, indiana, all potential pickups, where i would

but it's donald trump -- mine it's fred trump's business and fred trump's tax returns and then all the business relationships that they -- that we've never seen, the subsidiaries they had to hide what they were doing. >> blatant stuff, ways of essentially moving money from parents to children that you would have to declare as income that they hide from the irs and rip the government off. >> yeah, i talked to a tax lawyer tonight who said that he was a little bit shocked at how crude all these machinations were. he said, you know, maybe they couldn't hire -- or maybe they were too cheap to hire good tax lawyers. but, you know, they just did very blatant stuff. the main technique is -- which the irs really should catch and the state tax authorities should catch is just lying about the value of the assets. then when you're transferring them, if you say they're worth a lot less then you pay much lower taxes on it. that's a blatant, obvious fraud that really should be caught. >> by the way, this is lying on the underlying assets is a recurring theme in the michael cohen -- in some of the mi
