mary trump blames donald trump's father for the disgraceful behavior that we see from donald trump every day. >> one of the unforgivable things my grandfather did to donald was he severely restricted the range of human emotion that was accessible to him, which makes it -- >> what does that mean? >> it means that certain feelings were not allowed. >> like? >> sadness. the impulse to be kind, the impulse to be generous. >> mary trump feels that the dysfunctional trump family dynamic has now infected the nation. >> i feel as i write in the book, that there are so many parallels between the circumstances in which my family operated and in which this country is now operating. i saw firsthand what focussing on the wrong things, elevating the wrong people can do, the collateral damage that can be created by allowing somebody to live their lives without accountability. sgln donald trump is now facing the ultimate accountability. it is going very, very badly for donald trump. a new poll has joe biden now with an 11 point lead over donald trump nationally. 51-40. and american voters overwhelmingly

when we look at wisconsin, sure, donald trump -- i'm sorry, michigan, donald trump did do better than romney. what's interesting is, in wisconsin, donald trump received 2000 year votes than romney. romney.fewer votes than it really was the democrat candidate that kind of blew it there. the pennsylvania, and that is your stomping grounds, is a whole different category. because hillary clinton basically came just shy of obama intes of barack 2012. so it really was trump finding these voters, we call them the forgotten voters. of 240,000 more votes than mitt romney. that is huge. i think people mistake the difference between michigan and wisconsin versus pennsylvania, and i think it is that pennsylvania stock that trump is trying to duplicate, not just in pennsylvania, but in other places. >> you're absolutely right. this is how donald trump pulled a rabbit out of a hat in 2016. he found voters that weren't really -- didn't vote otherwise. is something that comes up in focus groups all the time. it's such a blind spot for politicos, which i have people sell the time, why did you vote for

when we look at wisconsin, sure, donald trump did do a little bit i'm sorry, michigan, donald trump did do better than romney, he got an extra hundred thousand votes, but what is interesting is that in wisconsin, donald trump received 2000 fewer votes than romney. it really was looking at this, it really was the democrat candidate that kind of blew it there. but pennsylvania is, and that is your stomping ground, is a whole different category. because hillary clinton basically came just shy of 20,000 votes of where barack obama was in 2012. it really was trump finding these voters and whether we call them the forgotten voters, he looked for new voters, got people registered. but to the tune of 240,000 more votes than mitt romney. that is huge. that is the story that i think people mistake between michigan and wisconsin versus pennsylvania. i think it's that pennsylvania strategy that trump is trying to duplicate, not just in pennsylvania but in other places. do you think that can work? >> you're absolutely right. this is how donald trump sort of pulled that insight straight. he pulled a

we are focused on donald trump. there is absolutely value in the republican party learning a lesson what they have done to donald trump. the key is for joe biden to run up historic margins and i think i may be fond of susan collins but not martha makes sally. some of those -- of joe biden wins by enough i don't think it is bad for the republican party to learn the lesson you nominate a guy like donald trump he decimates the party. that is what you get for it so i am of two mind and decide we wanted people to participate in our program who were not necessarily going to vote for democrats. i am pro-life, never vote for a democrat for but i won't vote for donald trump. we want our tent to be big enough to accommodate those people so you can't put together that kind of coalition if you are also doing the senate. we want people who will vote for tom tillis that won't vote for donald trump. we want those people too. there is a strategic answer and an emotional answer. >> host: we talk about the future of the republican pa

it's not up to donald trump. donald trump is going to leave office if joe biden leaves the electoral college because it is not up to donald trump if joe biden wins the electoral college, chief justice roberts is going to swear in joe biden as the next president of the united states at 12:00 noon on january 20th, 2021 there is nothing donald trump can do to stop that, but that won't stop the precious few interviewers who are allowed to donald trump from asking him, will he accept the results of the election as if it's up to him to accept the results of any election chris wallace asked donald trump that question in an interview on fox yesterday, and donald trump got what he wanted with that question and his answer. 24 hours of distraction, 24 hours of people worrying that maybe donald trump won't leave office 24 hours of no one noticing that the interview went very, very well for donald trump, as well as it could possibly have gone under the circumstances because chris wallace never asked donald trump about intelli

and it was the time that donald trump introduced mary trump to the person who would become donald trump's third wife melania. donald trump lied about mary trump while he was introducing mary trump to melania. he said that mary trump had survived a terrible drug problem, and mary trump immediately corrected him saying i've never done drugs in my life. but donald trump kept pushing that lie. it seemed, as rachel said, when she introduced the subject in her interview that donald trump experiences pleasure and was experiencing pleasure in that lying which would certainly be one important reason he can't stop doing it. it might be the only pleasure left in his life at this point. mary trump agreed with rachel's analysis that lying is a perverse pleasure for donald trump and mary trump added another psychological motivation for donald trump's lying and why he must be surrounded by people in the white house who never challenge his lying. >> yeah. it's also a power play. one that fits into his favorite narrative, you know? the comeback is much more impressive if you are coming back from a really

trump, no one told donald trump. john bolton has told people he himself did tell donald trump but john bolton won't confirm that publicly because he says it's classified. but nancy pelosi at that time said this: were they afraid to approach him on the subject of russia? and were they concerned that if they did tell him that he would tell putin? and that, to me, is the most important way to look at this question. it's one of the possibilities. >> i think the question has to be raised that if, in fact, they did alert trump, he would just share the intelligence information. that's what he was already instructing the cia to do as a matter of policy, despite the analysts saying that if we do this we get nothing in return, so why would we do this? but it was, in fact, the effort by the white house and by president trump himself to do it, to send it directly, to share information with the russians. so i think the idea that the speaker is raising, it's almost like two plus two equals four. i would imagine the intelligence co

donald trump does not. let's focus on getting those solutions implemented, including passing the george floyd justice in policing act. >> the senator joe biden today talking about donald trump basically just surrendering in the war on the coronavirus and also what is now the biden plan of how to restore this economy, which of course begins with somehow getting control of the coronavirus. >> yeah. joe has a great plan that he unveiled today. it's the first in a three-part series that is focussed on addressing the economic health and well-being of america and the first one that he unveiled today is about bringing back manufacturing jobs, supporting union jobs, implementing a $15 minimum wage, investing in research and development and innovation in america. you know, joe talks about it in the sense of, you know, we want to export american products but not american jobs, so it is very exciting. again, let's have a leader that focuses on what we need to do to strengthen our country instead of donald trump who tr

donald trump. oregon officials insist that the federal presence in portland is just prolonging the protests and aggravating those protests. oregon's attorney general was in federal court today suing the trump administration to remove the unwelcome federal officers in portland. she said she was asking the court to declare it not acceptable for federal officers to use unconstitutional police state type acts to detain citizens of oregon without cause. on the senate floor yesterday, oregon senior senator ron widen said this. >> donald trump did not send that paramilitary force. this expeditionary force to keep people safe. donald trump is doing this to create an image of chaos, to air them on far right television, scare the country, turn them into campaign ads. >> this is the nixon play book. this is the presidential campaign first run by richard nixon, the most corrupt president in american history until he was replaced in that status by donald trump. when richard nixon and the country watched on live

that's what donald trump said. senator kamala harris attended a senate intelligence committee briefing on the matter today and nicole wallace asked her, after that briefing, if there is any reason to think "the new york times" and nbc news reporting on this story amounts to a hoax. >> did you hear anything that made you doubt what is in the public arena about the spirit of this story? >> let me just say this. you have mentioned and talk about the american intelligence community. i serve on the senate intelligence committee where i over the course of the last three plus years have been in regular receipt of information from our intelligence community about threats to our nation's security and hot spots around the world, and i will tell you based on my experience with the american intelligence community, you cannot find a group of people that work harder and take more seriously their profession and the importance of them being precise and accurate and exercising the due diligence that is necessary for us as decision

in a state that donald trump won by four points in 2016. taxpayers paid for the trump campaign event as they have been lately because the white house disguised this one as a presidential trip to a factory with a government contract to work on developing a coronavirus vaccine. here was donald trump's campaign message for north carolina today. >> america will develop a vaccine very soon, and we will defeat the virus. we will have it delivered in record time as our visit here demonstrates. and i want to thank all of the people and representatives from the great state of north carolina. this is a great place. it is a phenomenal place. >> in other words, good luck, north carolina. hope you can hang on until we discover a vaccine. and that is donald trump's message to the country where as of tonight the united states has 4,303,046 confirmed cases of coronavirus that have been reported. and as of tonight the united states has suffered 148,213 deaths from coronavirus. "the washington post" is reporting that donald trump didn't care about those numb

to d donald trump as the republican nominee. what do you think about joe biden having a sizable double digit lead? >> i think to be in early july as far back as donald trump is sending chills behind the gop and everyone in the white house. i was wrong in 2016. i did not think he would be the nominee. i didn't think he would win. he has fumbled horribly managing the coronavirus and the economy is in the ditch no matter how they try to spin jobs numbers. i think that will come home to roost in the fall. at this point voters will rescue us from donald trump because no one else has been able to. >> truer words, my friend. thanks for spending time with us. when this book comes out, we would love you to help us understand how this came to pass. >>> another break for us. afterwards lives well lived. something great from mr. clean. stop struggling to clean tough messes with sprays. try clean freak! it has three times the cleaning power of the leading spray to dissolve kitchen grease on contact. and it's great for bathrooms! just keep pu

and this is a vote vets ad against donald trump. and it just contains a concept as an ad that was impossible prior to donald trump. let's watch this. >> claire, we have never seen an ad like that and ending with traitor for the president of the united states. but that's where the evidence is. that's an evidence-based ad. >> it's an evidence-based ad. it has been almost, what, three weeks since we learned that putin was putting a bounty on our american military theater. and there has still not been a word, not a word from this president, you know, calling it out, saying that it is wrong, even mentioning it in a context that would appear to be supportive of the troops. so this ad is fair, particularly from the veterans' perspective, the men and women who lost lives over there, their families and those who have been wounded and had their lives changed because of explosions of the taliban and knowing now that there are bounties on their heads. this is a powerful ad, but it is a fair ad. and i got to tell you what's really amazing to me

trump. >> ella alega tambiÉn que el presidente donald trump le pagÓ a un amigo para que tomara por Él el examen de acceso a la universidad. el presidente se negÓ a contestar cualquier pregunta sobre el contenido del libro. >>ha causado tanta expectativa que adelantaron dos semanas su obligaciÓn. >> se venderÁ como pan caliente. >> la liga estadounidense de fÚtbol mls reanudÓ su campeonato en orlando con un poderoso mensaje de solidaridad, antes del partido de reapertura mÁs de 100 jugadores participaron en un emotivo gesto en la oyÓ del movimiento de justicia social. >> muy buenas noches, la mls y su historia esta noche quien orlando, primero porque se convierte en el primer deporte profesional de este paÍs en retomar actividades despuÉs de la pandemia. mÁs de 100 jugadores lo que estaban participando que jugaron esta noche ademÁs muchos otros que tambiÉn se encuentra en esta ciudad salieron al cÉsped, salieron al estadio para unirse a esta protesta silenciosa que durÓ mÁs de ocho minutos cerca de nueve minutos y fue muy prolongada en el centro del estadio, de rodillas

and was a lifelong politician in the military donald trump. but certainly they were fluid in the early years in terms of the political affiliation but what both men had in common was love of country and the average everyday ordinary person and that which resonated the people at the time for just a couple of years ago and then and then to visit with regular commuter on - - commuters and with that great relationship with the average person rather surprisingly and to be born into money and in the same way donald trump is a billionaire businessman that seems to have a lot of blue-collar. we agree donald trump loves junkfood in western churchill similarly obviously ate too much like we do on occasion. and the things that i do is pretty normal. >> also the times were similar? >> and with the invisible enemy. and with that coronavirus. and then to see mary deblasio come out with respect to the coronavirus. but to be on the outside and donald trump's fight on his fight was on the inside but churchill was fighting the axis powers and that particular fr

that's a gift to donald trump. he did not upheld to crystal clear anl corruption law that has been on the books cynic 1924. >> you make a great point. you put a spear in the underbelly of it. to not want to get into the hot question of why you wouldn't get the taxes when federal law, it says, you shall hands them over. very interesting. i trust we'll be discussing it again. thank you, sir. >> when we come back, >>> an update on the story that is often the top item in our newscast, the coronavirus. total cases passing 3.1 million, the death toll reaching 134,000. today the head of the cdc is talking about reopening schools. donald trump has hammered the agency's guidelines within his administration as somehow too tough or expensive. they pushed social distancing, staggered arrivals, masks and many things we've come to expect from the cdc. mike pence is saying the cdc will revise and the cdc record saying their guidance, scientifically based, remains the same. >> i want to clarify, really what we're providing is diff

on joy reid's show when she interviewed donald trump's niece mary trump who explained donald trump's strange and enduring attraction to vladimir putin. we'll show you some of that interview next. and joy reid will join us. sure. okay... okay! safe drivers save 40%!!! guys! guys! check it out. safe drivers save 40%!!! safe drivers save 40%! safe drivers save 40%!!! that's safe drivers save 40%. it is, that's safe drivers save 40%. - he's right there. - it's him! he's here. he's right here. - hi! - hi. hey! - that's totally him. - it's him! that's totally the guy. safe drivers do save 40%. click or call for a quote today. i felt like i was justthis constantly cleaning up his hair. then, i got my paws on the swiffer sweeper. it's a game changer. these heavy duty dry cloths pick up a crazy amount of hair! this is all you. we stopped cleaning and started swiffering. want restand schools?pen? want the economy to get back on track? you're not alone. and you can help make it happen. stay 6 feet apart. wash your hands. wear a mask every time you leave your home. choose to join the fight again

that poll gave donald trump a 13-point lead, 51-38, a state that donald trump won by just 1% of the vote in 2016. joining us now is john heilemann. he is the national affairs analyst for nbc news and msnbc. he is also executive editor of "the recount." john, these numbers coming in from the battleground states for donald trump are devastating tonight. >> they are devastating, lawrence. you know, you look across these -- i have to say, the main thing that makes them -- the only thing that keeps us from making more of them than we will is the fact that they're so consistent with what we've seen in this widening lead that joe biden has throughout the main battleground states. we've seen it happening now over the course of the last two months, and this is just a further sign that states that donald trump must win are now -- are now well outside the margin of error for joe biden. and i mean i think i've been talking to people in trump's world today, lawrence, and i think there's a general sense among the ones who have some clear-eyed sense of realism as they look at these numbers, and they ma

mary trump also claims that her aunt, maryanne trump called donald trump a clown and didn't think that he could get elected. here is that little bit. he's a clown my aunt said during our regular lunches at the time. this will never happen, i agreed. we talked about his reputation as a faded reality star and failed businessman would doom his run. does anyone believe this that he's a self-made man? what has he accomplished on his own? well, he had five bankruptcies, dot, dot, dot. i mean, how would somebody like donald trump, and i know it was partly through the book that he wrote with you, trick so many people into believing he was such a good businessman when he was so bad at business? >> it's back to psychopathy. they are essentially the same diagnosis. and a sociopath has no conscience and has no empathy. that's trump. and as a consequence, he could say anything and do anything. his psychopathy made it possible for him to tell a story over and over again that wasn't true without any guilt or shame until essentially it's like humpty dump ty. you keep pushing and pushing and finally we

trump we still have troops in afghanistan under donald trump that's not trump's a faulty to know the 1st thing about any of this but look man my friend go back to the report if you read the mahler report it's clear donald trump in the trump campaign colluded with russia trump welcomed russian interference in our election you can't have that i don't want this that everything is either an email or a board on the one hand i thought it completely. god no it didn't encourage in your face and he sent the entire. senate of the united states congress is a sham because it didn't didn't support the house on impeachment. the muller report makes clear that donald trump obstructed justice repeatedly the moller report also makes clear that there was collusion and muller was very clear that there wasn't enough collusion to rise to the crime level of a conspiracy but certainly there was enough in there to have impeached him and that was before what he did with ukraine you know i think the problem the program here is that if you're going to get rid of trump you're going to get rid of those 77000 swin

it says donald trump's older sister, marianne, did his homework for him but -- >> donald trump's older sister, marianne, went on to become a federal judge in new jersey. at the beginning of the trump presidential campaign, the book quotes donald trump's sister, telling mary trump, he's a clown. mary trump is a clinical psychologist, and in that capacity, she is the first mental health professional who has been able to offer a diagnosis of donald trump based on actual personal observation of the patient. now, i started calling donald trump a liar the minute he opened his mouth about president barack obama's birth certificate in 2011, then i started callinga him a pathological liar when he couldn't stop talking about it. i finally got strong, professional support for that diagnosis toward the end of the first year of the trump presidency when a group of mental health experts invoking the ethical mandate that psychiatrists call the duty to warn, published the book "the dangerous case of donald trump, 27 psychiatrists and mental health experts assess a president." in the latest paperback e

donald trump isn't doing any of that work. what he is doing is making americans in cities less safe and not dealing with the coronavirus on top of it. he is attempting to cut resources for covid testing and public health professionals rely on to do their jobs. he does it repeatedly. sending millions of americans tumbling off an economic cliff in the midst of the worst unemployment crisis since the great depression. he is not doing his job. he is ignoring his responsibilit streets both on the of portland and in washington dc, when he walks away from dealing with the coronavirus , he isn't keeping americans safe, he is putting them in more danger. saidhave said and repeatedly, donald trump ought to attack the coronavirus pandemic and not the people of portland. that is why theories shortly senator merkley -- very shortly senator merkley and i will make an amendment that will block donald trump from using these paramilitary forces where they are unwanted. what we are seeing in our own hometown is these paramilitary squads brutall

it and that is what donald trump is doing. he's reacting to real damage, maligned influence the china has been. to make trade deals with them and do things but the pandemic shows its true colors. they don't -- what they deserve. >> we love a good flashback on this show. and and china will eat our lunch. and they are not in competition -- >> how they deal with china. >> i don't think you can count on joe biden to do anything the united states and the rest of the world need to get china. donald trump will treat them as they need and reorient our supply chain and all the things the rest of the world want us to do with the predatory nation. >> coronavirus affecting every single person in this country, how big a deal is a going to be for people when weighing their options in the next few months to think about china at the top of their list for the election. >> they gave us the pandemic. the fact they lied, cheated and misinformed the world when the outbreak happened caused it to be a global pandemic. the american people should righ

and donald trump was not. p was not. >> leading off our discussion tonight, tim o'brian, senior columnist for bloomberg opinion, the author of "trump nation" and a retired assistant clinical psychiatrist from harvard. dr. dotis, let me begin with you. this is the first report you've been able to see of a mental health professional with actual close access and contact to donald trump in effect reporting on him. what is your reaction to what we have learned so far from mary trump's book? >> it makes a lot of sense to me. i think that when she says in terms of what you just said, the difference between her father, who was lying because he was defensive, he was trying to protect himself from his father, who was punitive, and donald, who was lying to just help himself, no matter who he hurt. that's the key problem that our field has been dealing with in trying to understand him. donald trump is just different from other people. other people can lie and cheat and perhaps they have reasons, which we all try to unders

during donald trump's presidency. all of the horrible, horrible racist comments by donald trump that republicans are forced to either defend or they silently defend by not saying anything. their silence speaks for itself. behind the scenes, there are plenty of republicans who are scared they're going to lose the senate in november. i think that's a really big risk when you consider that there's just not as much split ticket voting as there has been in the past. republicans are fearful that not only they're going to lose the presidency, but they are going to lose the senate. their souls left a long, long time ago. >> that's incredibly sad to hear. gabe, i want to turn to you. you have spent a long time when you were interviewing over 600 insiders at fox news -- i think fox news is a major problem. they are a propaganda network at this point. what influence do you think they will have on this election? is there any way to penetrate that layer of ignorance of the fox news viewer or the fox news anchor or anybody over the

trump wanted him to do and asked him, what's happened with the v-shaped recovery, to which donald trump lied again saying, i think the recovery has been very strong. tell that to the record number of unemployed people in america whose unemployment benefits donald trump is trying to cut. it took 31 days to get to that question because donald trump refused to take any reporters questions for weeks after "the new york times" investigative reporters broke the story 31 days ago that intelligence reports were presented to the president saying that vladimir putin was paying the taliban to kill afghanistan soldiers in afghanistan. they were simply counting on reporters to forget about it. and many of them did. and donald trump helped them forget about it by constantly saying distracting things that became the news of the day for those reporters who forgot about it. 10 days ago, donald trump sweated through an outdoor interview with chris wallace. that was a combination of very easy softball questions and some very, very tough and challenging questions. but not one of those questions was about i

donald trump it seems he decided he's an extra person because donald trump doesn't seem to care about covid. your thoughts? >> well, joy, he's an extra special person because he knows too much about donald trump and the russia affair. i think, you know, it was very clear in his own communications publicly and in my belief private communications he sent to the president that it would not be in the president's interest for roger stone to spend a single night in prison. and whether he's vulnerable to covid or not. it's clear this is the furtherance of an obstruction conspiracy that is wider than mr. stone. and that turned out to be an innocent act and not well judged but there was a three year investigation, criminal investigation of that pardon because it was seen as potentially corrupt. this is the same kind of case except that in this case, there may well be corruption. i think the president vulnerable to investigation for this or even now. >> yeah, absolute lie. and, you know, may well you're being generous on the corruption front. roger stone is not just any criminal. he is somebody

trump campaign or donald trump if they got coronavirus at the rally. herman cain, who was briefly the front runner in the race for the republican presidential nomination during the 2012 campaign happily attended the trump rally in tulsa. he was not wearing a mask. he was not social distancing, as you can see in this photograph. and nine days later, herman cain tested positive for coronavirus. less than a week after testing positive, herman cain was hospitalized. herman cain's family announced his death today. and so that brings the death toll from coronavirus in this country to 153,167 as of tonight. and as of tonight, the united states has reported 4,497,855 confirmed cases of coronavirus. and once again today, florida broke its own single day record for coronavirus cases for the third consecutive day with -- this is the record for deaths with 252 deaths from coronavirus in a single day. donald trump said today that the situation is getting better in texas but texas broke its own single day record for deaths this week. and yesterday texas reported the

trump, to the people who do donald trump's taxes? >> well, i know we will be working on it right away. do i know what's coming up next for us, though, is attorney general barr coming before our committee but i'm sure we'll be working on it right away. in the best of all worlds, we would love to see this before the election. but you know, given the lawlessness of this administration, that will be hard to imagine. >> you mentioned william barr, who looked rather downtrodden today as he was talking about the supreme court ruling. you know, not that we like to see him sad but maybe. let's talk about the testimony so far about mr. barr that's come before congress. geoffrey berman, attorney for southern district of new york, he went and testified before the committee. i understand you were briefed on that testimony. he briefed in closed door testimony to the house judiciary committee a pressure campaign led by attorney general william barr to get him to leave his post as one of the nation's most powerful federal prosecutors in the 48 hours

for donald trump in 2016. what's the game plan now to turn this into a win. >> we're organizing everywhere, we're leading with our values. we have i think the perfect candidate joe biden who can ignite our country. we have a remarkable partnership at the dnc with a biden campaign. we've veinvested in michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, but our field continues to expand. and that is what we're doing day in and day out. we have a 100-day sprint right now. we'll have roughly 2,000 people in the coordinated campaign. we've been building up, as you correctly pointed out, we've outraced the trump campaign two months ago. we're closing that gap. i think what we have is joe biden at the top of the ticket. what you just had on there is senate obama from before. people are sick of a president who divide us. people want a commander in chief, not a tweeter in chief. people want someone who will have their back. someone they can trust. joe biden is someone you can trust. joe biden's a dreamer and a doer. this is what we're

donald trump isn't doing any of that work. what he's doing is making americans in cities less safe and not dealing with the coronavirus on top of it. he's attempting to cut resources for covid testing and treatment. his administration covers updated the public health professionals rely on to do their jobs. he is -- and he says it repeatedly -- anxious to cut the lifelines of 30 million jobless americans, sending them tumbling off an economic cliff, right in the middle of the worst employment crisis since the great depression. he's not doing his job. he's ignoring his responsibilities. and both on the streets of portland and in washington, d.c., when he walks away from dealing with the coronavirus, he isn't keeping americans safe; he is putting them in more danger. as i've said and said repeatedly, donald trump ought to attack the coronavirus pandemic and not the people of portland. so that's why very shortly senator merkley and i will offer an amendment that will block donald trump from using these paramilitary forces in portl

donald trump called on the fox guy, as he always does. donald trump is very chum my, publically chummy with the fox guy in the briefing room. he has asked the reporter how his wife is, exactly the same settings where donald trump has attacked reporters like yamiche alcindor and called reporters nasty for asking questions. he attacks women reporters far more often than he attacks men. attacking women is part of the culture of trumpism, the culture that trump and his lieutenants in the gangster regime live and breathe, and that is the culture that congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez stood up today to. silenced them all. and she did that hours before the white house briefing today and not a single reporter in the briefing room asked donald trump about the vicious attack on alexandria ocasio-cortez. five questions. that could have been one of them instead of, say, the idiotic question about baseball from one of the reporters who donald trump called on. not one question about intelligence reports, about vladimir putin paying to have america

trump on that. 50% say joe biden. 41% say donald trump. larry? >> well, i was going to say the moms who are joining arms in order to confront these stormtroopers, and that's what they are, represent the best of portland. the people who are standing up to these illegitimate uses of power ultimately have the law and the right on their side. this reminds me of the people who were swept off the streets in argentina. there are people who have been arrested by unidentified officers in unmarked vehicles, swept off the street, not given any reason for their arrest. there are regular violations of the first amendment and the fourth amendment. there are violations of the kidnapping laws of oregon and other states. and in the end, it is more than ironic. it is deeply cynical for this president to say that he is the president of law and order when his whole strategy is to get people to forget about his other ineptitude about the pandemic by changing the subject to conflict and clashes of power that he himself is generating. it's a distraction. it's a

the american people know president donald trump did it once before and president donald trump will do it again. [applause] the root of the biden-sanders agenda is a belief that america is driven by envy, not aspiration. that millions of americans harbor ill will toward our neighbors instead of loving our neighbors as ourselves. the radical left believes the federal government must be involved in every aspect of our lives to correct those american wrongs. they believe the federal government needs to dictate how americans live, work, how we raise our children, and deprive our people of freedom, prosperity, and security. their agenda is based on government control. our agenda is based on freedom. [applause] just look at the contrast between our record in the biden agenda. bysident trump cut taxes $5.5 trillion, the largest tax cut reform in american history. [applause] joe biden plans to increase taxes by nearly $4 trillion over the next decade alone, twice as much as hillary clinton ever proposed. president trump not only cut taxes, but we have rolled back federal red tape at a historic

trump elected donald trump are serious to the president. and to talk about the presidency in 2020 without thinking about donald trump, did his presidency change any of the conclusion or the assumption. >> yes, the talent that you put your finger on was a central one, part of the argument is one of the things i discovered into the uva, we become a presidency of an assassination, that's what we stuck in my head because of political science and the obsession with the presidency is one of the problems, and we turned her celebrity enter presidency to the celebrities. if you look at celebrities of their day in franklin washington and the constitutional convention and they were not always humble for sure and they're quite a sense of themselves, there was a public virtue and being humble and restraining yourself to the purposes of the republic and that was very foreign in the way that we treat our presidents at celebrities today. so that has been the way i've been taking about the presidency and donald trump who was a celebrity and became into meas

donald trump's place in economic history is now assured. he is the american president who presided over the biggest drop p in the economy in history. we learned today that the gdp hi has dropped 32.9%. and what makes that economic news much, much worse for donald trump and for us is that the vast majority of the country knows that donald trump has no plan to pull the economy out of that collapse because the only way to do that, as ali was just saying, is to lead a national cohesive and effective public health campaign against the coronavirus, which everyone knows donald trump refuses to do and does not know how to do and so donald trump fires off wild distractions and it works. at his press briefing today about the coronavirus, the few reporters who were allowed to ask questions of the president kept asking him about delaying the presidential election, which is exactly what donald trump wanted them to ask him about. they didn't ask him about his lying interview with jonathan swan that we showed you on this program last night in which t dona

trump. >> about donald trump. eugene, last word to you because it does seem like all biden really has to do is keep being joe biden and watch out for voter suppression. that's what it seems like, at least on its surface. is there a bigger complication than that? >> i think it's pretty much that simple. i mean, he needs to -- he needs to lead. he needs to be a unifier. he needs to be -- he needs to do what he's doing and he seems to be doing very well. what everybody else needs to do, everybody else who wants biden to get elected needs to ensure voter access to the polls. that's going to be the key to this election. it will be the gop play. that is the ball game. >> absolutely. and pick a good vp running mate. that will be key. >> right. >> former senator claire mckas kill and eugene robinson. thank you very much. we are back in a minute. much. we are back in a minute. hey, can i... hold on one second... sure. okay... okay! safe drivers save 40%!!! guys! guys! check it out. safe drivers save 40%!!! safe drivers sav

this is how donald trump is acting. he's acting as if he has certain reassurances that it doesn't matter what you say because you are going to get re-elected and that i do take very seriously. it could be the gop-led voter suppression that he feels very confident he'll be able to suppress the vote and continue to oppress lives or it could be foreign election interference. and we know how russia, his campaign really mirrored the russian tactics last go-around and this go-around we have seen evidence of iran trying to infiltrate our elections and we have to worry about china. so this behavior to me says there is either significant cognitive decline or he has reassurances and given the news that just came out about russia offering bounties on u.s. soldiers and his polling still hasn't slipped even after that, we should all be very concerned. >> well, you know, i'm going to geek out with you just for a moment. those of you who watched "game of thrones," geoffrey barathian and then watch donald trump. on the other side of th

president donald trump. [applause] in our first three years, president trump did keep every promise he made to the people of wisconsin and all across the country. the results were extraordinary. military, cut taxes across the board, rolled back regulations at a record pace, unleashed american energy, fought for free and their trade, and in our first three years alone, businesses large and small created more than 7 million new jobs across the country. [applause] fastest pace the in more than 10 years. 10 million americans were lifted out of poverty and 7 million americans were lifted out of food stamps. beyond that, we reached the highest median income in the history of united states. [applause] it was an extraordinary three years of progress and renewal, building our military, reviving our economy. but then the coronavirus pandemic struck our nation. president trump took unprecedented action. he put the health and safety of america first from the earliest days. before the month of january was over, he suspen
