Him up as the beacon of hope for africanamerican votes were disparaging him when it came to him saying george w. Bush not caring about black people and interrupting taylor swift getting her award saying beyonce had the best music video of all time. They were saying kanye west was crazy. I was at a memorial, kanye jumps up on stage and starts going on with some literally ramblings, okay . This is a man who is known for being welleducated, his intelligence has prized over the years, his depth of knowledge. Thats not on dismaplay. Hes not at his best. I dont believe him to be healthy. And i dont have to speculate. Hes said that. Hes given explanations for why he stopped taking his medication. If you abuse mental health, you will be the way he is right now. I dont fault him, i dont think he can be judged for not making sound judgments. But the president has people who let him down with this guy who is not at his best. At this moment, when people are walking through the ruins of their lives
The Republican Party to please not run for senate this year, as he was otherwise intending. The white house later confirmed that, in fact, the president had done that. The president called this guy in nevada, Danny Tarkanian, who has run for office a lot in nevada, hes lost every time. The president had called him and told him not to run for the senate this year, so as to clear the way for republican u. S. Senator dean heller to run for reelect in nevada, without the hassle of having a republican primary challenge. So, the president intervened to keep that primary challenger out, to clear the way for dean heller. So dean heller could be reelected. Trumpendorsed senator dean heller last night lost his reelection race. He lost his seat in the u. S. Senate. He was beaten by a democrat named jacky rosen, who was a democratic member of congress who had to give up her seat to run against dean heller. That was a good bargain for her. Shell be coming back to washington as a u. S. Senator inste
Biggest stories, sourced by the best reporters now. Welcome to inside politics. Im phil mattingly. In today for john king. To our viewers in the United States and around the world, thank you for sharing your sunday. President trump warns of an invasion on the southern border and hes building his wall with or without permission from congress. Theres bipartisan concern on capitol hill that he is overstepping his authority. So im going to be signing a National Emergency, and its been signed many times before. Its been signed by other president s from 1977 or so it gave the president s the power. Theres rarely been a problem. They sign it. Nobody cares. I guess they werent very exciting. But nobody cares. They sign it. For far less important things in many cases. Plus, bill barr sworn into office as attorney general. That makes him Robert Muellers new boss and gives him the power to decide whether to release the special counsels final report to congress. We need to see a full report. This
Jeff zeleny is live with more. Jeff, tell us what were expecting to hear. Joe biden has been front and center in this controversy, but so far hes stayed away calling directly for an impeachment inquiry. Were told that is likely to change this afternoon when he addresses reporters in wilmington, delaware in the next hour. Im told by a Campaign Aide he plans to say this. Lets take a look. Hes going to make a point that trumps latest abuses are on top of his prior abuses. Hes going to call on trump to comply with all of Congress Outstanding lawful requests of all of their investigations in the ukraine matter and in other investigations. And if trump does not comply, biden is going to say congress has no choice but to impeach. That is from the top biden adviser. Brianna, what this means is joe biden is part of this growing groundswell of democrats from the top spectrum of the party here who seem to be moving in the idea of initiating some type of impeachment inquiry.

Look back after 170 days. For bill clinton, it was 64. And President Trump beats that record. It took just 40 days from the time the house voted to begin the process to win articling were drafted. And hes on track for a speedy full house vote on top of that. Thats one thing democrats and republicans can agree on. Take a listen. Are you confident you have a majority to impeach the president . I am confident. Im not whipping this either. I dont think anyone is. This is a real vote of conscience. I think this is the beginning of the end for this show trial that weve seen in the house. I think its going to come to the senate. Were going to have fair proceedings, and then its not going anywhere because the facts arent there. It is the responsibility of the American People to hold these senators accountable. This is not political. We should not be looking at those things. This is the defense of our democracy. Do we stay a democratic republic or do we turn into a tyranny . I am clearly made u
