of, who is donald trump, really? what is he deep down? is this actually what he is like or is it a performance? i think the surface donald trump, the evidence that we have seen on the screens is more imaginary, deep down secret donald trump that a therapist might probe. i would agree in so far as that goes. whether everybody exactly knew who donald trump was, the evidence was all out there, you know, in thousands and thousands of hours of tv footage, but on the other hand, a lot of people apprentice," they kind of react saying this person is mainly a media personality. no, no, he was a businessman. and because he was such a successful businessman, he was cast on "the apprentice." he was cast on "the apprentice" because he was tremendously successful and talented at presenting the image of a businessman. that is what reality tv needs. it need someone who embodies the picture that you have in mind of, what does a rich guy look like. that was the point of donald trump for years. service for a great him in that it took a

than donald trump does. he will tell us wheal be looking for in the impeachment investigation of the president at the end of this hour. as the certainty of the trump impeachment sets in on washington and the trump white house, the pattern of the nixon impeachment process is reemerging when damning information about the president is revealed, that only provokes the revelation of similarly damning information about the president. and so now two days after the whistle-blower's report revealed that the record of the trump conversation with the president of ukraine was moved into high-security storage so that it would not be accessible in the way that such conversations are normally accessible, we are now learning tonight that the very same thing happened to donald trump's conversation with russians in the oval office and other reports indicate the same thing happened to donald trump's conversations with vladimir putin and the murderous dictator of saudi arabia. "the washington post" is reporting two officials in

is he the kind of person that will now protect donald trump out of personal loyalty to donald trump? john bolton has already publicly disagreed with donald trump about how he left his job as national security adviser. there is very likely going to be a john bolton book about donald trump. and john bolton began in effect writing it today in a tweet contradicting president trump. the least important disagreement that donald trump and john bolton have ever had is their final disagreement, the disagreement over john bolton's departure today from the job of white house national security adviser. president trump says he fired him. john bolton says i resigned. at two minutes before 12:00 noon today real donald trump tweeted "i informed john bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the white house. i disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the administration, and therefore i asked john for his resignation, which was given to me this morning." 12 minutes later john bolton contradicted the president's version of events with this tweet. "i offered to

donald trump loses to bernie sanders by nine points. donald trump losing to elizabeth warren and kamala harris by seven points. donald trump loses to mayor pete buttigieg should he be the nominee by four points. the head to head polls we are reflecting with the latest presidential approval number reveals that trump's squandered summer has taken a toll. he slumped six points and he's back in the 30s nearing his lowest approval rating ever. "the washington post" notes, quote, president trump trails potentialal democratic challenges. with approval ratings as low as trump's are today. that is where we start with some of our favorite reporters and friends. with us from "the new york times" white house correspondent amy kearney. nbc news correspondent heidi przybyla. msnbc correspondent garrett haake. and at the table charlie sykes, editor in chief of the conservative news and opinion website the bulwark. and eddie glaude. let me start with you. there are presidential tells. one of them is sort of his inability to restrain himself. it's almos

mike pence took the meeting rather than donald trump. went to poland instead of donald trump. he's been intimately involved in everything that donald trump has done, and if not involved, he has i think a lot of people would say have been quite sycophantic towards donald trump and praised him no matter what he has done. would, in your view, vice president mike pence be equally culpable in whatever donald trump has done? and so if that is impeachable, what would you say about mike pence? should he remain in his office? >> yeah. i think that's a fair question. and i think we need to make sure that there is a deliberate investigation to bring forward all of the facts, make sure that members of congress are operating with the truth, and that that is shared with the american people. but your question also poses another one, this is, those around donald trump, do you want to go down with this ship? there is no limit on the number of people who can come forward to share information, who are eligible under the whistle-blower statute to share information and make sure that we preserve t

no one makes donald trump's problems get worse better than donald trump. so today when he was asked about john bolton, donald trump would not resist taking shots at john bolton, attacking john bolton. calling john bolton not smart. john bolton resisted responding to donald trump's provocation. well, john bolton didn't completely resist. he said some very important words. john bolton said i will have my say in due course. that was first reported as a text john bolton sent to the washington post and soon nbc news confirmed those exact words from john bolton today, i will have my say in due course. it would have been much better for donald trump if john bolton decided to have his say today and get it over with, but on this, at least, john bolton is much, much smarter than donald trump. john bolton is going to have his say. he is going to respond to the insults that donald trump threw at him today. but john bolton is going to control the timing and the form of his response to donald trump. john bolton has already written one book of memoirs of serving in a rep

so technically donald trump is right. but past presidents have always behaved as if the law did apply to them. precisely to avoid questions about where their interests lie. nelson rockefeller, who was wealthier than donald trump, released seven years of tax returns and sat for days of testimony on capitol hill, all to be gerald ford's vice president. >> we're all concerned with the question of whether it is dangerous, too dangerous, to have a person of great personal wealth potentially in the line of succession to the power of the presidency. >> reporter: in comparison, president-elect trump merely promised no new foreign deals. he has not die vested, and he has disclosed just what the law requires. and so the public is left asking questions. >> is donald trump making tax policy because tax policy is good? or is he making tax policy because there's loopholes in there for real estate developers like him that helps their wallet? >> as we try to make sense of all of that, katy and i decide to take a closer look at trump towe

and today donald trump is still at it. his alabama tweet count today stands at four but those numbers are expected to right as donald trump surveys the damage to his reputation, which now includes sharing a false weather forecast and doubling down on it. "the new york times" describes this morning's developments this way, quote, by thursday morning it was clear that mr. trump had no intention of conceding that he was wrong about alabama. at a tweet at 6:39 a.m., the president accused of media of not giving the hurricane the attention it deserves. and they said the president'sco harm's way and the president is focused on covering up a mistake he made. this is part of a pattern of two trump phenomenons, lying and doubling down. "the washington post" is out with a piece chronicling other low points in the trump administration's war on truth t began on day one of his presidency when trump sent his press secretary out to defend his claims about the inaugural crowd size. >> this was the largest audience to ever witness an inaugu

trump on, you know, what's the real donald trump and what's not. that is, you know, people actually wonder about this, is what he does in the media on television, a fiction, is it the real him, is it himself amplified whenever he notices attention on him, i generally tend to believe that the latter, extreme form of yourself or depending on the circumstances, modulated form of yourself, depending on what the audience, what that sort of, you know, camera eyeball that's on you requires, so i think that there was always something performative about donald trump from the very beginning. the manner of the performance, what he was trying to get across from it, the tenure and the tone of the performance shifted with time with his goals at the time and really with the sort of temperaments of the media which changed tremendously from 1980 till the time when he was able to become less successful. >> has he been consistent in his use of the media? >> he has been consistent in that he has used the media, i mean, you know, one thing i say and inspiration for me

in donald trump's own words. collusion with a foreign government to help donald trump's reelection campaign by hurting a candidate running against donald trump. there's a lot of talk about biden's son, that biden stopped the prosecution, and a lot of people want to find out about that, so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great. whatever you can do. that's what the president of the united states wanted in that conversation from the president of ukraine. whatever you can do to help the reelection campaign of donald trump. that is the donald trump, jr., meeting at trump tower with russians during the presidential campaign on steroids. >>> leading off our discussion tonight is former director of the white house situation room where he managed president obama's phone calls with other heads of state. he is also a former chief of staff to the director of the c.i.a. larry, thank you for coming back tonight. we have the transcript. you've seen the transcript. and i just want to get a basic verificati

so will donald trump win wisconsin? i give it the caveat that i did not think he was going to win in wisconsin. i think wisconsin is going to be the battleground state. it's a microcomp of the rest of the country and the vote is divided to urban, rural, suburban. there are strong holds that are hard core republican strong holds and donald trump won wisconsin because he really flipped the northern rural parts of the state, many counties that had voted for obama twice voted for donald trump. i expect that they will do that again. so the question is will democrats turn out in big numbers in places like milwaukee and dane county. in the midterm elections they did. but it's a whole different ball game with the general election. so i think that if i knew who the democratic nominee was, i could give you a much stronger prediction. so far in the polls most of the democrats are leading donald trump, but i do think the candidates actually matter and i do think that wisconsin is going to be very, very much in play right up until t

this guy was appointed by donald trump. he's the one that says this is an urgent matter under the statute, the whistleblower's claims should be reported to congress. if that breaks, then the i.g. is going to have little faith in saying, hey, doj, do something. because guess who told him not to send this stuff to congress? doj. they are the ones he called -- i mean, they gave it to dni, and then dni called doj and donl said no -- doj said no. >> shot it down. so what's going to have to happen here is the courts are going to have to begin weighing in on a wide variety of subjects. and i think legally they are in a worse position on this matter than they are on almost anything else that congress is taking them to court on. because this statute is pretty clear. what you would have to decide is the statute protects the president even if he's behaving with criminal behavior. >> joe biden called late friday for the transcripts, all the transcripts to be released of donald trump's conversations with the ukrainians, which we know to

donald trump is a very competitive guy. we had to listen for 18 months to all of these talking heads on cable tell us this is just to promote his hotel, this was just to get his name back in the news, that he just loved the reality declare, that donald trump is going to drop out before the iowa caucus. he actually do want to be president. he is a a fiercely competitive individual and he loves the kind of competition. i don't think that donald trump expected to win. as medevac all of my reporting tells me he did not expect to win. as i say describe election night in the book, trump had to pretty quickly rewrite his election night speech he cuts he did not speech prepared. when reince priebus whispered in his ear and what other little war rooms, i think you're going to win, everybody in the room sort of stopped and time stood still and trump said okay, we've got to go upstairs. we got to go to the residence. i don't have speech. so donald trump, from everything i know, was certainly not expecting to win the presidency because

and donald trump knows that. this is a hit job on the son, the last surviving son, his brother passed away. this is the last son. part of the reason why joe biden didn't run for president in 2016, because he wanted to take care after his family after he lost beau. this is an achilles hill of joe biden psychically. and donald trump is like where can i go to get the oppo to get at this guy's heart. >> because i have no conscience, i have no morals and i don't care about using the united states government and possibly foreign aid to carry out my campaign. >> correct. and if that's ukraine or if that's utah, donald trump is going to go wherever he needs to go and do whatever he needs to do, no matter how unethical, immoral, or illegal it is. that's what this story is about more than anything. >> what did you want to say about quid pro quo? >> is that i never liked to try to second guess or get under the skin of the reporting of excellent journalists like those at the "wall street journal" and those in other places. t

better job than donald trump he should release that information what do you think then if donald trump was normal going to be in the situation no normal person has been president so let's talk about one of my favorite people rudy giuliani the president's personal attorney what's your assessment of giuliani are you in favor of his behavior as her positions and so forth i have not been a fan of rudy giuliani since he left the mayor office in new york city why is that i think that listen he is i'm a conservative like i'm a constitutional conservative i'm incredibly pro one a 2 way and very pro-life giuliani has never been those giuliani goes i think where the paycheck is and i think that is very clear that his allegiance is to donald trump and the trump family and probably the trump wallet do you agree michel. i agree this is where united. we found it it's just it's just weird where you have someone who claims to be this close to the president is somehow an attorney and yet he goes on these television shows and gets everyone in more trouble every single time he goes on these controversies

donald trump from office. it remains unlikely, but it is not certain. after this break, we will discuss the rapidly changing political and evidentiary dynamics of the impeachment investigation and what that means for republicans in the house and senate and what it could mean at the end of this road for the fourth president in history to be the subject of an official impeachment investigation. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. i wish i could shake your hand. granted. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ my body is truly powerful. i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. i take it once a week. it starts acting in my body from the first dose. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergi

ever since donald trump has been in office, i voted for donald trump myself and i will again in 2020. there's a real person there that is a true american. after 40 years of my life, and and 30 8 years old, years and goth bless, i did have a job for 30 years. all our job, my generation has seen our jobs leave. health care get worse. and everything. now we got a president here that's going for the american people and it seems like our congress has got a problem with that. on both sides to tell you the truth. you know, there's no difference between a dictatorship of hitler or a dictatorship of the new world order. they want to categorize us as their servants and what they want and how it is. host: we'll let you go there, jeff. the republican leader is coming out to the microphone.

america first ties donald trump's hands on iran. later elizabeth warren campaigns in new york while slamming wall street and donald trump campaigns in new mexico which is turning blue. can he win over hispanic voters? the president sounds like he's winding things up in new mexico, speaking now. we will bring that shortly. karl rove and doug show and will be here with analysis. we begin with fox team coverage of the latest brett kavanaugh controversy, trace gallagher examining the political fallout. will it backfire and help donald trump in the long run? first we go to the host of fox's media buzz with the facts tonight. >> the new york times corrected a glaring omission in the accusation against brett kavanaugh touching off a political firearm. kate kelly charge brett kavanaugh exposed himself in another of those rugged yale parties, the forthcoming book says the woman in question supposedly wound up touching his genitals won't commented, quote, several of her friends say she does not recall it. that crucial point was left out of th

trump he's appreciative of him draining the swamp, he wanted donald trump to teach them to do that saying trump is a good teacher. there was nothing untoward about the phone call in my opinion. shannon: what about the whistleblower complaint we expect later today? what can you tell us about that? >> they released it at 10:30. haven't gotten ready for it, i had a reader early this morning at haven't had a chance to look at it yet. it is a he said she said. anybody can make a claim but the more important thing is there are two travesties. number one, what appears to be a selling of influence and the fact that thes would go after a duly elected president on hearsay that they've not even read. two scandals here is unbelievable. shannon: it seems different from what was being said by many of the same democrats in 1998 and we can flash back to reflash everyone's memory. what democrats said about impeachment back then. >> republicans in the house are paralyzed with hatred, not judging the president with fairness but impeaching him with a vengeance. >> they hate bill and hillary clinton so much t

donald trump told us the truth. when he was running for office he said he knows how this government is operated. donald trump is doing just what the democrats and republicans have been doing for years. donald trump is a man that does .ot back down. however, donald trump is showing the world our strong points and our weaknesses. people said he is a traitor. but the democrats and republicans seems to me he won the race war. donald trump is showing what is wrong, whether you are a democrat or republican, however you want to flip the coin. nobody is trying to correct things. and donald trump is being treated just like barack was and that's good for donald trump, because what the republicans did to barack everybody now is doing to donald trump. most of the republican politicians want to see donald trump fail. they want to see him fail because there will be no one else. host: you are seeing the republican leaders want to see him fail? caller: yeah. how did he defeat 17 people and shut them up and keep their mouths closed

not donald trump. he was more involved and he decided that the day after mueller testified he would pick up the phone and call the ukrainian president and try to engage in more corrupt activities. thank you very much for talking to us. happy to do it. there was outrage and fury in the house of commons as britain's prime ministerfaced parliament for the first time since his defeat in the uk's supreme court. boris johnson declared that the ii judges had been wrong to "pronounce on a political question at a time of great national controversy". and he dismissed the pleas of mps who've received death threats, urging him to moderate his use of words such as "surrender" and "betrayal", to avoid inflaming the country further. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. to lead often is to be alone. borisjohnson on the tarmac, clutching his red box of business. it was borisjohnson‘s decision to suspend parliament, found against the law. boris johnson racing back from new york to face mps' anger. but on thi

and donald trump is so obsessive. if he has a theme and he wants to get to the bottom of it, and this seemingly was a pretty strong summer obsession. i had blown it off as just, oh, they've given rudy -- >> crazy rudy. >> some whacky mission in ukraine. but actually probably giuliani was the only person who took donald trump seriously at all. so you've got -- it's like the pizza gate of foreign policy. it's not even to the watergate level. that's what a republican operative i was texting with today said this isn't watergate, it's pizza gate because it's so stupid and conspiratorial. you get that the two men, they are just so delusional about what actually would defeat joe biden in 2020. >> i mean, the conduct is watergate-like. and i think someone said to me today remember what the russians look for. they don't need you to pick up the phone and call them. we don't know that trump didn't. but they are looking for signaling. what trump has signaled by releasing this call is to the russian bots and troll farms. and i thi

don't ask me, go ask donald trump. the difference between skrjoe bn is that he's got a long history in public office to choose research from. if the game is played in 2020 the way it was played in 2016 then one may expect that the conduct of the clearance thomas hearings. the crime bill. you can name a dozen things that could be used by foreign government who have an interest in our election could roll out the same way. the challenge that biden had, other than senator sanders, the other candidates have less to grab and less to take so i wonder how is it that biden sees this candida as most likely to win. >> they think the safest candidate is a white male because they are convinced that a few states in the upper midwest who they don't understand and also contained women and people of color they are key and therefore you have to go get a white male. i think this is absolutely absolutely -- 2018 proved this and 2012 proved this. frankly the democratic party would do much better in my field either with a woman or a person

that will not strengthen donald trump. that impeachment acquittal by mitch mcconnell and his cronies in the senate will be no better than an acquittal in 1965 by a clansman by an all white jury. that is no justification for refusing to impeach. it's time for speaker pelosi to demand an impeachment articles, be voted out of the house and start the trial in the senate now. we're tired of it. >> richard, as you remind us is a minnesotan, richard making the argument that democrats have, at least pelosi and the leadership have framed this the wrong way saying if you impeach and nothing happens in the senate, and nothing is moved, does that make sense. if you don't impeach, house leader starting with speaker pelosi would appear complicit. that's the language we're seeing from senator warren, if you do, it's mcconnell and others that appear complicit. with that in mind, i want to play joe biden who's obviously in the thick of this but who is not exactly with richard and you, i think, on the constitutional remedies. take a look. >

bolton opposed and donald trump wanted to do that so against what donald trump wanted to do so there are just so many of these things in there rahm policy is very important because it seems no that is opening the door because donald trump in the past this said look i'm willing to meet with no preconditions with the iranian leaders and it seems that john bolton has been the big obstacle he's been the guy pushing at the other side of the door saying the end of the it's not going to happen and know we've got steve mission who's the treasury secretary saying this could happen on the edge of the united nations general assembly in new york so that if you were a betting man come out and i don't know if you are i would restart into the nearest bootmakers and i would put money on there being a meeting between donald trump and mr rouhani at some point during younger because from what steve magician's saying from what might prompt you a saying and know that john bolton is the door i would suggest that's going to happen not a betting man at all alan couple of other things i would pick up on actu

trump and his national security adviser john bolton, let's bring up donald trump's tweet on what happened, i asked john for his resignation which was given to me this morning. i thank john for his service. i will be naming a new national security adviser next week. how will this impact what is happening in afghanistan? >> reporter: john bolton was a more hawkish voice who brought healthy tension to the administration because he had a different view than the instinct of donald trump but ultimately as we saw a lot of decisions make a counter to what john bolton believes that the kind of guy you bring to a meeting and say we can unleash john bolton and his perspective on you if things don't go the way we want. it is unfortunate he is leaving. the president has the right to advisors he wants. we will see the next chapter. >> reporter: he intends to appoint someone by next week. on this day, with -- as a veteran, share with us your thoughts on 9/11. >> reporter: 18 years is the age of someone graduating high school. you realize a whole generation of people are being raised with no memory of 9/

line who is the guy who invented reality tv, donald trump. if anybody thinks they are going to beat donald trump in the ultimate reality tv show of all time, the impeachment of donald trump get a new life, he's going to do pretty well. >> thank you for weighing in, great to see you tonight. key things remember. the acting dni will testify on the hill thursday. also former mayor and now advocate for the president rudy giuliani says they will release evidence related to these allegations. and henry says a senior administration official says something will be released from the inspector general of the intel community finding this whistleblower has a political bias in favor of a rival candidate. so much to come, the president of the white house saying it will be released in the complaint itself so standby, a lot more to come including this, fox news exclusive, provocative interview with the iranian president accusing israel of supporting isis. the us special representative for iran joins us live to react. ♪ dealing with psoriatic arthritis pain

trump and admirals who have worked for donald trump. do you think that courage will be contagious? can you foresee that being contagious inside the republican party which up until now has been nothing but obedient to donald trump? >> for public action, i reserve judgment. i hope so. i hope that, you know, as bobby kennedy said, you know, the beginning of great change, the beginning of changing the history of our generation begins with small acts of courage, just changing the reality around you and that if we all do that then the sum of those actions become the great public story. i hope that's true. i think there's a reason -- there's an old joke that profiles in courage was one volume and very short. so there's not a huge -- there are not a huge amount of material for it and right now it would probably be a tweet. so i think if i were a republican office holder right now, which i'm not, what i would be thinking about is am i on the right side of history here? >> particularly when the matter is one of national security. shameful that it

donald trump secure the release of a dozen americans imprisoned overseas. kim jong un documentary director says they have turned over a confession in the making a murderer case. wisconsin inmate reportedly admitted he is the one who killed teresa hallbok in wisconsin and not stephen avery who is serving a life sentence for it. >> he was walking around free when this happened and maybe this is the reason he tried to point the finger at stephen avery in the first place. kind of a balancing act professionals need to dig in. rob: the convicted murderer's name will not be released until they confirm the confession's legitimacy. stephen avery's case highlighted the popular netflix series everybody saw. jillian: a house hearing just went awkward when rashida tlaib accuses a proactiveing advocate of the conspiracy theorist. watch this exchange. >> why were you winking on one of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. >> because i know glenn. >> he -- >> is a friend of mine. >> i didn't know what the winking was. i thought there was something like a conspiracy

donald trump is doing to his own kind of world? >> i don't think so. i think these people are specifically devoted to this president. we have to acknowledge bill weld is polling in double digits. imagine if somebody was running against obama polling in double digits. it would get floor media attention. now trying to cover this administration is lake trying to catch confetti. we can't cover it all. i want to talk about charlie's point about, you know, kind of appealing to some of those voters, you know, the romney/clinton voters. they're still republicans, still ideological differences. when you try to appeal to those people you run the risk. how can you appeal and then come back and talk to your base? why not double down on your base and inspire those people to get out instead of trying to appeal to trump voters? does the trump vote hit differently or what? why are so many people focused on trying to appeal to those people who are typically republicans? i have never heard the republican party sitting around talking about how can we

administration countering the russian threat. >> a new nuclear agreement with donald trump. >> donald trump is serious, permanent, nuclear programming. permanent monetary of iranian nuclear facility. >> your reaction? >> let's look at where we are, mike pompeo went to saudi arabia and uae. iran committed an unprecedented attack against their neighbor saudi arabia. important to note secretary pompeo is right. many people in the news media and obama administration officials, people who should've known better, who believe the claim of abca12s were lying, they were responsible for the effect. anyone can figure out on their own it would have been impossible for the abca12s to do so. mike pompeo pointed this out right away. many critics rushed to believe the iranian's as opposed to a us secretary of state and former intelligence official in the iranian's have painted themselves into a corner with this unprecedented attack on their neighbor and how they've done it is we saw something very significant today, what we call the e3, uk, germany and france put out a statement that they believe ira

anytime we are talking about donald trump donald trump is winning. heather: he explained it is all democrats care about is impeaching the president, he will be reelected in 2020. don't nominate elizabeth warren if you want our support. that is the warning from wall street mega donors. it comes as we hear reports that joe biden could release the progressive wealth tax plan. tracy carrasco here with reaction. >> reporter: some democratic donors on wall street threatening to vote for donald trump or sid out of the 2020 election cycle if the party nominates elizabeth warren. anonymous executive at one of the nation's largest banks telling cnbc they will not support her. it would be like shutting down their industry. the massachusetts senator has been railing against wall street since the beginning of her campaign. >> anyone who wants to run for office has to start by sucking up to a bunch of rich donors on wall street. i'm opting out of that rule. i am not taking a dime of pack money in this campaign. i want to government that doesn't work for giant weal

foreign policy is the 1st is that the primary goal for a trump foreign policy is donald trump's ego it makes no sense to make talk about a coherent u.s. foreign policy when you talk about on russia that a lot of the agencies want to take a tougher line with a lot of reports but donald trump racism on north korea where the north koreans continue to pursue a nuclear missile program but don't trump wants a photo opportunity of kim jong un on iran or the u.s. pursuing maximum pressure at this point with sanctions but donald trump wants to get another photo opportunity if not with the supreme leader or the iranian president hassan rouhani and perhaps most importantly were donald trump's opinion about alliances they go about 70 years is dictated by the idea that whether it's the europeans whether it's the japanese the south koreans they're all out to rip off the united states and the 2nd point on top of that is if it's donald trump's foreign policy it's also a family and friends foreign policy as you just pointed out now apart from a trump loyalist like mark might come peo who was secretary

donald trump does. and, perhaps, this will backfire on democrats, but the other scenario, just as likely, perhaps, is this will wound, gravely wound, the president next year and he is then beaten by whoever he faces. and john heilemann's gotten entirely too much credit for making a good point on this show, but people around the president have said that those around him have expressed frustration about the timing of this. that the call came with ukrainian president came the day after the mueller report and just inflamed democrats already up in arms that the special counsel didn't lead to the downfall of the presidency, and let's remember, donald trump, himself, openly said in an interview with george stephanopoulos he would be willing to take foreign electoral assistance again and here he is seeking it from the ukrainians. >> i want to get the date on that. that's a great point. the date of the stephanopoulos -- let me follow up on it and hijohn heilemann brought this back to the whistle-blower complaint

we begin in north carolina, at donald trump's rally. >> donald trump had hoped to tour storm damage from hurricane dorian in advance of tonight's rally. thunderstorms on the north carolina coast prevented him from doing that but he did receive a briefing on board air force one. >> i've just come from a meeting with north carolina officials representing communities hit by hurricane dorian and express the unwavering solidarity of the american people. we are behind you 100%. >> the latest rally on the eve of a special election in north carolina's ninth congressional district, dan bishop into the race after officials refused to certify last year's contest amid allegations of ballot tampering. donald trump hopes to tip the balance of this tight race. >> our first task is a giant victory tomorrow right here in the great state of north carolina with your support, tomorrow we take the first steps to firing nancy pelosi and winning back the house in 2020. >> was going to happen tomorrow, tuesday, september 10th is the ninth district is going to send the congressman with backbone who constructed t

you have donald trump doing what donald trump does all the time. he admits the scandal in broad day light. and because he admits the scandal in broad day light, instead of having it dug up, he thinks that makes everything okay. it does not. and this is unprecedented having the president of the united states, the commander in chief using his position to have a foreign power try to dig up dirt on an american domestic rival. it it is continued blurring of the lines from 2016. and it is unamerican. >> so michael steel, is this the line for republicans? >> no. not if john cornen's response was any indication. >> what's it going to take? >> i don't know at this point. senator cornen said i find all of this to be very troubling about joe biden and started the typical washington backstroke of we need to get more information. i'm sure we will find out whatever without having any initial visceral reaction to what the evidence displays. and then you have, you know, giuliani and mnuchin going on television being actually laughable in their response. but that's

donald trump does not have any aim and s and he cares about on thing. donald trump. if you look at what happened with china and iran. there is nothing to tell the public that this is what he's aiming at and trying to achieve. he's trying to achieve one zhing g thing, get attention for himself and do what is right for his own agenda. >> his attention is get something he can call a win and surrender the evacuation of american troops. that's a surrender. >> my panel will be right back and they'll tell you who won the week. superior to humira® in providing significantly clearer skin. don't use if you're allergic to tremfya®. tremfya® may lower your ability to fight infections and may increase your risk of infections. before treatment, your doctor should check you for infections and tb. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. serious allergic reactions may occur. tremfya®. get clearer. janssen can help you explore cost support options. ♪ work so hard ♪ give it everything you got janssen can help you explore ♪ str

the democrats hate donald trump because donald trump stands up and fight back. for years the democrat is used to doing anything and say anything and have branded the republicanss as races all down through the years and they rather retire, lay down, rolled over and take it. because they know that most people that most democrats will not vote and go through history and find out the truth about the democrats. okay, and another thing. they tell tales about his children that working in the white house getting paid. they are not getting paid. donald trump to not take his pay, and the pay fsa he has to take him he donates that to charity. >> host: congressman, what do you think? >> guest: i like her attitude, but you know, the thing i will say with respect to this investigation and i think she alludedlu to that is they have called for so many investigations on the president. how many times can you cry wolf packs it just seems they built up so much hope among their base that the mueller report would be the silver bullet that would lead to impeachment, and when they came

more than your president, donald trump. i will be so good at the military, your head will spin. there's nobody bigger or better at the military than i am. >> would you have served -- >> i would not have minded that at all. i would have been honored, but i think i make up for it right now. >> that is where we start with some of our favorite reporters and friends. retired four-star general and nbc military analyst barry mccaffrey, mark jacobson is back, former senior adviser to defense secretary ash carter, plus axios political reporter alexi mccammond with us on set, sprf vf national correspondent emily jane fox and "the new york times" political reporter nick con scory is here. i hit myself almost every day but can you imagine how many times i hit myself this morning. what do you think? >> read that at the end of the day this was a seizure of department of defense funds that goes through a five-year process, congressmen are intimately involved in it, it does affect the readiness and family welfare of the u.s. armed forces h
