Lockstep, all major markets are down. But the dow and s p 500 are down 6 10 of a percent. The nasdaq tech stocks which populate the nasdaq are down a lot more. The nasdaq is down 1. 4 . That wraps up this hour for me. Ill see you tomorrow at 11 00 a. M. Eastern with stephanie ruhle, then 3 00 p. M. Thanks for watching. Deadline white house with Nicolle Wallace starts now. Hi, everyone. Its 4 00 in new york. In a single round of media appearances Rudy Giuliani today torched two years of Donald Trumps collusion denials. Muddying the waters to a near unrecognizable condition as he spirals deeper into incoherent scenarios about what the president did and didnt know about the trump tower meeting. That meeting is now at the heart of the Obstruction Of Justice investigation and is perhaps also being investigated as part of a conspiracy to coordinate with a known american adversary. Here are two of the president s closest allies and advisors debuting the new line on russian
deals with paper instead of going on television all the time. But what weve seen, what you just played in that clip is that the president s, you know, Legal Defense all along has really just been a p. R. Strategy. Its been all about messaging, undermining mueller, trying to convince his supporters and anyone else who is listening that he has done Nothing Wrong without really delving into the nuances and the details of what the actual law is, what the actual circumstances that are under review might be and offering this sort of blanket no collusion, no Collusion Defense that the president s been making all the time, including this weekend on twitter. And, keir, you cover the trump tower meeting. You cover the russians who were in that meeting. Yeah. And you interviewed natalia veselnitskaya. Its clear from your reporting and others that they are tied to the russian government, that this was a setup. And either they were unwitting or witting. And it seems to me that the goal
posts have shifted as the evidence has become clear, even to the general public. The ties to the russian government are in disputable because Russian Oligarchs, billionaires are like that with the russian government. Look its not like in america where really rich people have to disclose their donations. There are no lines. Ive seen them mixing together again and again. The trump of russia, they call him, the guy looking at building a trump tower in moscow, helped organize the Miss Universe competition, in my Instagram Feed just in the past few days, take a look at this picture. We found a picture here. Thats him standing next to da dmitri peskov. This is not hidden. This is hiding in plain sight. These are all part of the same russian establishments. And Donald Trumps ties to
these individuals are hiding in plain sight as well. We know his son wrote back in an email, i love it when you offer dirt from this gang on Hillary Clinton. I like to think of it as that these are obscenely rich people talking to other obscenely rich people. Thats who the trumps are. Thats who they are. Frankly thats who the russian leadership are. They have a lot of money even though its hidden away. They kind of behave the way you would expect obscenely rich people to behave. They want to talk to each other. They dont see any reason to not build communication lines. They have children who they empower, who are often entitled. They treat many, many people like pawns. These are people who are behaving in incredibly human ways for the russians, this is about trying to figure out how to make more money. Lets get rid of sanctions, why . Because we want to make more money. Lets get into the u. S. Economy because we want to make more money. Politics is part of that and of course that is the way the president thinks and many people support him for that reason. Frank figliuzzi, enter bob
mueller who has now charged 13 russian officials for meddling in our election. I dont think anyone is putting their money on donald trump to ask Vladimir Putin to extradite those russian officials. They have a plan to jointly investigate Russians And Americans in helsinki. Does that not exist in the world of trump where Russian Oligarchs mingle at the highest levels of the russian government . You know, its important here to make a distinction between really rich people in the United States and really rich people in russia. The world that i come from, nicole, its about the nexus to the Intelligence Services and the government. Youre allowed to become rich in russia. You are inexorably linked to the hierarchy of government. If you look at the people charged in the first russian Indictments Mueller issued in the social media propaganda initiative, you can see the connections directly to putin
The latest Political Developments of the day and interviews with top newsmakers are featured. I turned him down to head the fbi one day before the appointment of Special Counsel and comey is his close friend. I understand from sources he and comey are not particularly Close Friends and he was in there interviewing to be fbi director, but i dont understand it to be donald trump who turned him down. I think the other conflict the president is talking about is some altercation about a golf club. We also know the president wanted to fire mueller and it was don mcgahn the white House Counsel who threatened to quit if he did that and na muellthat is looking at the desire to fire him as part of criminal intent. I heard you say on friday these questions go to the heart of had i legitimacy as president. Thats what hes been afraid of all along, that people would look at the russia connection and conclude, gosh, this Guy Didnt Win on his own. He won because his buddies in moscow hacked the dnc, released them at a very opportune time, maybe did a bunch of social media stuff. Hes right, americans dont like their elections being interfered
going to have a speech on Hillary Clinton, youre going to get all the dirt. You can see how the Network Works back and forth and those emails and tweets are going to be the corroborating evidence. People say, well, Michael Cohen could be making things up. He could be lying. You know what . Theres going to be a lot of corroboration because of the president s own words, his own tweets, the behavior of all the people around him. And we havent even gotten to flipping Paul Manafort yet. And, phil rucker, were talking about the manafort trial starting tomorrow. This is also all in the shadow of cohen and conversations whether Michael Cohen, the president s fixer and someone deeply involved in all his business dealings. That conversation has brought questions about collusion back into the public space. But this conversation about obstruction that people close to the president think represents the biggest danger to the president and these tweets yesterday about bob mueller do sort of reup what his own white house advisors likely testified to or spoken to in their
interviews with Robert Mueller about what the president was doing behind the scenes in terms of wanting to stop this investigation, fire the investigators. Is that still an active worry among people like the white House Counsel and other close advisors . I mean certainly it is an active worry. What the president does on twitter as he did with the mueller tweet yesterday, he vents out loud his sort of innermost private thoughts about this. The argument about Conflict Of Interest with mueller is something that he has said privately again and again over these many months with some of his advisors, with his legal team and others. But to say it out loud gives mueller and his investigators a sort of realtime screen play, if it were, of the president s thinking and thought process at all of these key jongun tours. And junctures. That shouldnt be overlooked. And there is very little those in the white house are able to do to control the president and keep him from saying the sorts of things. He was tweeting all day yesterday, all sorts of stuff, including attacks on the media. And that was definitely not part of sort of the preagreed upon message of the white house. But there is nothing those aides can do to keep him away from his twitter. Frank figliuzzi, if youre looking at all thats been uncovered by phil rucker and his colleagues and others, and youre looking at new revelations, what remits the greater threat to the Trump Presidency . Im keying in on this obstruction angle. If cohen is found to be correct, that trump knew about the russian meeting, then lets look at what happened after that. Deny, deny, craft a document that says it was about adoption, that goes to the heart of intent to obstruct. Thats a major issue that mueller could zero in on. And it would be hard to counter that if its proven that trump knew about the real meaning of the russian meeting. Any talk in moscow about this president having serious legal
jeopardy or do they think hell just, like with a russian politician, you know, be able to sort of finagle his way through this . I havent been surprised by how things developed in the past few months because people in the kremlin were telling me many months ago that they believed in the American Government the only friend they really have is President Trump himself. Oh, god, you know what . Theyre probably right. Phil rucker thank you so much for starting us off. Were grateful to have you. When we come back the president s former Campaign Chairman who was among the first Trump Associates to be charged in the Mueller Investigation gets ready to stand tryiial. Also mueller investigating the tweets for Obstruction Of Justice. The president s lawyers admits he couldnt stop the president from tweeting if he tried. Is the president s comments going to make it impossible for the republicans to drive the message they need to drive during the mid terms and does that create an opportunity for democrats . In the case of Special CounselRobert Mueller to go before a jury. This Afternoon Team trump is very eager to separate himself from his former Campaign Chairman insisting Paul Manafort, well, he wasnt really that important to the 2016 campaign. And that theres no way he could possibly have any incriminating information on the candidate he served for half a year. And while this case does not involve manaforts time with trump, instead focusing on manaforts Lobbying Work and russian backed work in the ukraine, it could have significant consequence for the president considering what happened during manaforts tenure. The National Committee gutted the language in the section about ukraine from its platform and Dont Forget Manafort was part of that infamous july 2016 meeting in trump tower weve been talking about. Nbc newss ken dilanian joins us along with eugene robinson, Washington Post columnist and msnbc analyst. Take us through what to expect tomorrow. If there is nothing manafort can say that will be problematic for
the president , wihy go out and smear Paul Manafort . Thats a great question, nicolle. Tomorrow is the question of jury selection. It will be Standard Operating Procedure the next couple of days and then the government is going to take us through what they allege is Paul Manaforts scheme. Essentially, they say he was paid some 60 to 75 million for his work for this russianbacked Ukrainian Oligarch and then he ended up evading taxes allegedly and laundering about 30 million of those dollars, buying real estate in the United States and elsewhere. And by the time he got to the Trump Campaign this is what i find significant and interesting he was broke, they say, he was in debt and trying to monetize his real estate and suck loans out of it. They allege he committed bank fraud while doing that. But for the context of this whole russia investigation, the reason thats important is because we know from reporting that he was offering one of these oligarchs private briefings about his work for
donald trump. And he was allegedly in debt to this man who is on the sanctions list and is close to putin, 10 million. And so he was essentially a ripe target for russian intelligence recruitment. Youre not going to hear this at the trial. The trial is not about that. The trial is about his schemes, his lobbying, his alleged bank fraud, alleged tax fraud. For those of us covering the russia investigation, were going to be watching for things like that. Ordinarily this would be hugely important trial. The former chairman of the Trump Campaign on trial, his former aide testifying against him. Its not going to live up to the spy novel were looking for, nicolle. You cant separate him one from the other. He was paid up to 70 million as ken just said by the Russian Oligarchs. You have to believe in remarkable coincidence to think the republican platform changed for the first time in history to think about it. In 2008 john mccain was the republican nominee. There was no one more hostile to Vladimir Putin in this country
in the u. S. Government than john mccain. So just coincidentally with Paul Manafort as their chairman, oops, we just changed the platform in the republican party. There are no coincidences in american politics. There are no coincidences and its back to my kind of underlying message about russia. Russia is not that mysterious. There you have another oligarch can an enormous amount of money using that money and going out there and saying, i want to change this, i want to do that, i want to do this in ukraine, i want to do that in the United States. Who can i find to do that for me . Paul manafort allegedly. One of the most interesting facts of this entire episode is Paul Manafort went to work for donald trump for free. Nothings for free. Nothings for free in this town, and nothing is for free in american politics. I think the point about monetizing, how can he get out of debt by repaying, maybe not in dollars, but in other things of value, back to his Russian Oligarch friends . Change the platform. Oh, maybe get carter page to give a really prorussian speech
in russia. Maybe staff up the campaign with people who are going to be favorable to russia. Maybe start conversations about lifting sanctions. All of these behaviors, if you see them through the lens of Paul Manafort, are pay back to the russians. And, eugene, all those things happened. It really requires some extraordinary Magical Thinking to say like all these things are unrelated. Everything jennifer just named happened. We know based on the white houses own read out of the first pull aside by the translator or note taker, donald trump was talking to Vladimir Putin on the side lines of the first nato summit about russian adoptions, which code as we all know for lifting sanctions. We know that the platform changed. Even if this trial isnt as ken said, the fireworks about whether the president colluded or not, there are a lot of things that happen before actual conspiracy to collude that lay the foundation. And these werent favors done for any other country. Its always about favors done for russia. Yeah, this seems to be one of
the least hidden conspiracies ever because its all been, its all being conducted in the open. Its really insane, but on a certain level all mueller has to do is turn on the Morning Shows and write it down as Rudy Giuliani incriminates his client yet again and keep a time line of what happened in public on television, written down, covered in every major publication. But mueller isnt just doing that. He has shown us with every set of indictments and charges that he is burrowing much deeper and he always knows more than we think he knows. So, i guess from that standpoint, im not ready quite yet to say that the manafort trial wont live up to the spy novel billing because mull earlys always got stuff that we
dont know about. Yeah. And frank, its not a defense to be a bad spy. If you were a spy youre still in deep dodo. Huh . Go ahead, frank. We dont give report cards to spies. If youre a spy, youre a spy. And i think ken dilanian has it right. This trial, although its all about financial crimes, as americans watch it unfold and as revelations come out about all of the crimes, White Collar Crimes being committed and all the money that manaforts taken, you have to keep asking yourself why did this man become the chairman of trumps campaign, to what degree was he owned and operated and compromised by a Foreign Government . And then comes the next trial which is about the Foreign Agents registration act. Did we have a Foreign Agent working as the Campaign Chairman for the president. Okay, ken, thats very spy novelish to me. Let me tell you some of the Arm Chair Investigative Reporting that i engage in, which is nowhere near the arena of the
work you do. Has this theory that if Paul Manafort was actually a russian agent, then, then lights out on the question of collusion. What sort of, what sort of game is manafort playing that hes the only person i believe, the only trump official to be charged who hasnt taken a deal . What game is he playing . I spend many hours pondering that question, nicolle. If you talk to people close to him, they say, look, he believes hes innocent. There is a kind of shakespearean tragedy edge to this whole thing. The Justice Department took a look at his conduct a few years ago and took a pass. They didnt prosecute him. So the only reason hes wearing a green Prison Jump Suit right now is because he went to work for donald trump. And thats got to really gnaw at him. Sometimes it takes awhile as frank well knows for these white collar defendants to come to grips with the massive legal jeopardy that theyre facing. Hes looking at essentially a life term if hes convicted in both of these cases. Not the maximum, the guidelines. Even though hes a first
offender. 8 in this case 15 in the d. C. Case. Thats one theory. The other theory is hes angling for a pardon. He knows something we dont. Now youre getting into spy novel territory. But its pretty clear to everyone watching who follows this, what Robert Mueller wants is to convict Paul Manafort and squeeze him to tell what he knows, if anything, about Potential Collusion between trump and the russians. Keir, let me give you the last word. I already confessed to my arm chair investigative journalism. One of my theories is hes more afraid of the oligarchs than bob mueller. President trump, i dont think he has to be necessarily no Paul Manafort. Hes more afraid of what the Russian Oligarchs hes been on their payroll, on their joel, as jennifer said, he was flat broke. Hes more afraid of them than bob mueller. He may well be. That wouldnt be surprising. Look, the russians are not ashamed of this. This is hiding in plain sight. As far as the russian leadership are concerned, at the point at which President Obama is president , and they are facing more sanctions, things could not
be worse. President putin was absolutely open about that in speeches going back a decade. They have thrown a lot into the room, explosives into the room and they think they are changing things. And anything is better than what they thought they were facing, which is obama as president and possibly a president clinton. And its yielding dividends for them. They have a president who parrots their line than members of his own party. The real question is will sanctions be lifted. In the end they want those sanctions lifted. What is going on now, a very important aluminum company, that is exactly that. That would be the first real concrete sign that it has literally paid off. Paid off literally. All right. My thanks to ken dilanian, frank figliuzzi. Great to have you. Come back. Trumps twitter habit, he cant shake t. His um pulse i have summer meandering musings. Could he stop if he wanted to in his lawyer doesnt think so. Well go inside, ooh, ooh, you
might need a snack or drink for this. Well go inside the mind of the tweeting president. Thats next.

And we covered it. Talk to farmers. We know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum i we worked with pg eof to save energy because wenie. Wanted to help the school. They would put these signs on the door to let the teacher know you didnt cut off the light. The teachers, they would call us the energy patrol. So they would be like, here they come, turn off your lights those three young ladies were teaching the whole school about energy efficiency. We actually saved 50,000. And thats just one school, two semesters, three girls. Together, were building a better california. Have you advised the president not to tweet at least not to tweet about his Attorney General . Good luck about tweeting. An honest and sincere and funny moment there from Rudy Giuliani. Good luck when it comes to tweeting. Its clearly the president s preferred method of communicating. And we know Robert Mueller is now looking at them. But twitter is also an outlet for the president , especially lately. Our friend phil rucker noticed something as well, tweeting, quote, white house aides say time on the golf course, especially in bedminster with its lush rolling hills, helps trump clear his head after a busy week as president. Check his twitter to see what hes thinking right now after two days of r r. So we did, with a clear head the president only played his greatest hits. Attacks on the media tweeting, quote, driven insane by their
trump derangement syndrome. He turned to the tweets we talked about at the top of the show about Robert Mueller, the harshest attacks on him, the investigation and legal scam of a witch hunt. Joining our table Senior Advisor with move on. Org. And mike due han, republican strategist who severed as political director of the rnc. It is my mission to make them great on one thing. Jennifer is still here. Rudy, your boss, old friend, is he helping or hurting the president or can he not be helped in terms of the investigation . How is he helping . Earn B Everyboverybody is ta Different Things right now. Confusion is the strategy. Both the political and legal strategy. What you saw sz rudy as his attorney take me through both. Early on he moved him off some of the fec issues, complaints about that and clarified those. How, youre talking about Campaign Finance . How things were paid for. We now have a tape about the president talking about the
minutiae of Hush Money Payments to former play boy models. What rudy was talking about early on was trying to get that out and clarify some of that. Having that out is helpful . Getting that out there and having that debate out there obviously its going to come out. Its illegal. Im not a lawyer, but at fec you cannot do that in a way it influences the campaign. Im aware of that. What he did early on is move off of that. There is a p. R. Piece of this which is whether you like it or not im explaining the p. R. Part of this is to make sure that Trump Supporters continue to see the flaws in the investigation and whether or not what are the flaws in the investigation . Whether or not sessions should have resigned. Im talking about things that call into question the credibility what calls into question the investigation . The attacks on rosenstein do you think those are good, theyre helping . A i think what they should want in trump world is to have the investigation be done and over with quickly. I think mueller is a credible person obviously. He was a int pod by president george w. Bush who he both worked for. I think they should let the investigation go. It Oven Bfuscates it. They havent had miss steps along the way. They have. You have to look at both sides. Even democrats would admit some of those mistakes have been made. Are you going to admit mistakes have been made in the Mueller Investigation . Where we are in the Mueller Investigation is mueller. Its hard to make a decision on if the investigation is real or not without really knowing Whats Going On. Absolutely. What were hearing and the things we talk about, its only the tip of the iceberg. Mueller has the information. So thats where i say to that, look, what donald trump is doing is so typical. Its typical trump. The greatest hits, witch hunt, attacking the media, right, saying, hey, you know, fake news, enemy of the people. He goes after democrats. Its all the same. Whats happening is the walls are closing in on him. If you look at where we were a month ago, on july 27, kennedy retired, right . It was this big upswing for republicans. They had their Second Opportunity to have a
supreme court, right. Next thing that happened is Michael Cohen tapes, Michael Cohen talking to mueller, helsinki happened which was a disaster. The walls are closing in. On april 9 fbi raided cohens house and hotel and office. The president flipped out. Not an attack on the nation. Exactly. Let me bring eugene back in. Eugene, the publisher of the New York Times went in and met with the president , talked about there is not a lot of debate about this, but talked about the president describing the media as an enemy of the people, puts journalists not in this country in danger, but journalists working outside of our borders in danger. The president then weaponized that meeting, said, had a good and interesting meeting at the white house with a. G. Sulzberger, spent time talking about the fake media how it is morphed into the phrase enemy of the people. The media has been smeared and maligned by the president of the United States. Yeah, for a. G. Salisbury who was the relatively new publisher of the New York Times learned, i think, after that meeting that no good deed goes unpunished. But he went in there to tell the president to cut this out, that this was dangerous. And it is dangerous. He talked about how newspapers are having to have to hire armed guards to stand outside the buildings. And the president s response, apparently, was, well, gee, im surprised they dont do that already. It is look, donald trump, his twitter thing, he thinks hes a political genius and he thinks his twitter genius got him elected president of the United States and will keep him his support. The thing about political geniuses, of course, is that they have figured out something
about the moment, but the moment moves on and so it remains to be seen whether his twitter magic continues to work the way he thinks its working. I would argue that the numbers suggest that its not working the way he thinks it ought to work. Its working with his most committed base and not with the independents and others who decided to give him a chance and who dont seem to be inclined to give him another chance. I agree with you, gene. If donald trump were happy with just twitter followers, he wouldnt take a meeting with the publisher of the New York Times. He craves the people who look at the facts and look at him objectively. He always craves the approval of the New York Times. Im going to take a slightly different tact. I dont think this is a legal strategy at all. Donald trump has always thought this was politics. They never thought he was going to get indicted, at least not while in office. This is about an eventual impeachment and keeping that
demographic, that 30 of the electorate in line. He does that by immigration. He does that by screaming at the press. Talking about shutting down the government. Exactly. And screaming at the fbi. And that is his strategy. The legal strategy, if there is one, is completely concealed because rudy isnt doing the legal strategy, hes doing the p. R. Strategy. And its not clear there is still time for legal strategy. Half the white house advisors have seen his conduct in office already testified. The trump fog machine rolls on, this time threatening to cloud the gop message with talk of a government shutdown. New fears it might obscure the Economic Future republicans need to push if they want to avoid a Big Blue Wave 99 days from today. This is your wakeup call.

Concerned, and personally, if we dont get Border Security after many, many years of talk within the United States, i would have no problem doing a shutdown. Its time we had proper Border Security. Were the laughing stock of the world. We have the worst Immigration Laws anywhere in the world. A shutdown when you control all the levers of power. Thats not very strong. Trumps threat means a showdown in congress with his own party could occur 37 days before voters go to the polls over an issue that more than half of americans dont agree with the president on. The latest nbc news Wall Street Journal survey shows only 41 approve the president s handling of Border Security compared to 51 who disapprove. The source tells me that trump has been calling around to his outside advisors asking where he should direct his efforts to secure victory for republicans
in november. Hes been told to focus on senate seats that could be the determining factor in a potential impeachment vote. Trump will be Holding Rallies in florida and pennsylvania this week. Two Battle Ground states. This is axios reports the president may be hurting his partys chances in november. For some vulnerable republicans running in swing districts, not only does the trump bag of tricks not work for them, they believe it hurts them. A Top Republican operative tells me last month we would have kept the house last 30 days we have been bad. Well always be a lot of talk about trump, which is okay, but cant be like the last month. The panel is back. Is that what youre hearing . Youre ea gop operative. Have you been hearing its been bad . Im hearing that from folks that are working on campaigns up and down the coast and around the country that the last 30 days have turned a little bit. But there are as you said 99 days which is an eternity in politics. We talked in the previous segment in terms of the president s ability to really
get everybody chasing what he tweets. He does have a unique ability to control the message. Any president would and he certainly could. The fact were all over the place is a bad thing and i think running on Border Security while important to a lot of people i think is a fundamental misreading of why he won. He won because of Hillary Clinton. He won because people am sick of washington and she embodied status quo and no change. Hell win, republicans will do well, and he will win if people talk about the economy. Tax cuts he went to helsinki and stood next to Vladimir Putin and threw the american Yintelligence Community under the bus. That is how he has rebranded the republican party. Which is problematic. Where republicans want to be is tax cuts, the economy is going in the right direction, were putting judges on the supreme court. Democrats in the senate who are in conservative states have to vote on kavanagh, some of which will vote for him,ing that that
will be the cross pressure. Things like russia would be bad. Donald trump never lets republicans talk about the economy because he tweets all day every day about the phony Witch Hunt Run by a republican. Exactly. And if he does talk about it me . No, youre not mueller. Point at me. Hes at war are republicans. There is a double short on the tax cut and economy. That is wages for a lot of americans. Wages have been flat or actually declining more so under donald trump than they were under barack obama. So its a mixed bag. But as a result theyre not talking about anything. I dont know what they are talking about. Were reporting, others are reporting were not talking about the economy. What is it theyre talking about . What is there to talk about . I get it, Hillary Clinton was the gift from the political gods, but shes not coming back. And right now theyre the party of washington. Theyre in control. The problem with the shutdown is even if it doesnt happen, youre going to have days of republicans screaming at one
another, sounding unhinged, not able to reach a consensus. You think voters are going to look at that and say we want a couple more years of that. Republicans dont want a shutdown. You may. The president does. Its not surprising the president is talking about a shutdown because, lets not forget the last one. He thought he won that shutdown, right . What did he do . He blamed democrats and he said, hey, i dont want to sign this thing but im signing it because of the democrats. He had who are in control of nothing. Ridiculous explanation. It is a ridiculous thing. He said a couple weeks ago immigration is the issue that he believed that is going to help republicans in the mid terms. Thats what he said. And the thing that is really crazy about it is we still have families separated. So go ahead, talk about immigration. We would love to talk about families being separated. You want to campaign over mid terms . Bring it because your policy, your Attorney General, you, mr. President , put babies in jail. Exactly. Do that . They should. I know we want to push that
message out there even more because they are more than, what, 300, 400 kids 700 600 kids still separated from their parents. 771. Eugene, last word. There are 771 kids who are still separated. And you think democrats can organize themselves and call the president s Bluff On Immigration . I hope so. I hope so. I mean, look, the president is going to continue to yell and scream about this issue because he thinks its a red meat issue for him. And i think democrats need to continue talking about the fact that theres 771 kids who were effectively kidnapped from their parents and whom the government has not been able or has not been willing to give back to their parents. Its just astounding. The most unamerican policy of this president so far. All right, is the president about to cozy up to another american adversary . You wont want to miss this. I was just finishing a ride. I felt this awful pain in my chest. I had a Pe Blood Clot in my lung. I was scared. I had a dvt blood clot. Having one really puts you in danger of having another.

the gas or electric aspect of a fire and when we have an Emergency Situation we are going to be much more skilled and prepared to mitigate that emergency for all concerned. The things we do every single day that puts ourselves in harms way, and to have a partner that is so skilled at what they do is indispensable, and i couldnt ask for a better partner. Are you prepared also, are you willing to meet with president rouhani . Ill meet with anybody. I believe in meeting. Do you have preconditions for that meeting . No preconditions, no. They want to meet, ill meet. Any time they want. Any time they want. Its good for the country, good for them, good for us, and good for the world. No preconditions. If they want to meet, ill meet. Ill meet with anybody without any preconditions. Ill be nice to anybody, except americas longest serving allies. Eugene, Whats Going On . I dont know, but lets make a prediction. The president meets with the iranians, he emerges with a deal because he loves deals. It is materially obviously much worse than the iran deal that he cancelled. And thats going to happen. So what is the deal . How do republicans articulate a message from donald trump on Foreign Policy where were kinder to american adversaries. With iran, people with blood on their hands, the blood of american soldiers in iraq. What was that statement . Republicans should distinguish themselves from the president on this. They have to distinguish themselves. Iran is the largest State Sponsor of terrorism in the world. House republicans, Senate Republicans should disagree with this. He should not meet with them without any preconditions. And he tore up a deal that was actually working. If his track record on north korea or russia is any record, im not sure hes going to get a better deal than obama got. The israeli Prime Minister is on a roll. Hes gotten everything he wants from the president and hes watching it go up in smoke because the president is going to legitimize the iranian
regime. How does john bolton deal with that . And how does john bolton deal with russia . Everything john bolton has ridiculed, ha ranged about, he is now doing. So i guess thats a price to power, a price for proximity to power. Im shocked actually. 30 seconds. Democrats now can be harder on russia. They can be harder and already are harder on iran. It doesnt surprise me that donald trump made that statement. He loves dictators. He wants to have an authoritarian regime. It goes back to the way he attacks journalists, right, which is absolutely dangerous because that message coming from the president of the United States just ripples effect across the globe. If hes saying this about journalists, what does that send to iran and other countries who are adversaries. Nothing good, which is why the publisher of the New York Times is pleading at that case to him. Fell on deaf ears. We have to sneak in our last break. Dont go anywhere, well be right back.
