investigation stands now, it seems like there are two separate tracks him one of them is robert mueller is trying to determine whether or not trump sought to obstruct justice when he fired the fbi director. that is where hope hicks and her insight is useful. what about donald trump, jr. he took that meeting. he confirmed communicating with wikileaks during the campaign and a russian banker and putin says he sat with trump jr. at the nra dinner event last year. is there a bigger beckett emerging here? absolutely, donald trump jr. is very important piece. he keeps popping up. he had all of these contacts with russians during the company, with wikileaks that we have not learned about until now. it s really donald trump jr. needing to play catch-up. at the meeting after the new york times reported on it in july, donald trump jr. had to get out ahead of the new york times and release the e-mail chain that led up to that
supporters say enough? if it doesn t even work for young women, teenagers, we re really in a bad place morally in a state with voters that claim that they re close to god. you know, sophia, a bit later on this morning the reverend william barber will be speaking at an anti-roy moore news conference and he s been calling roy moore s christian rhetoric hypocritica hypocritical. does he have a point? i think we ve seen a lot of this. it started with donald trump in 2016. look, i consider myself an evangelical christian. but at the end of the day i ve been deeply disappointed in the racial divide. that s a whole other show for another day. we need to do about white evangelicals versus black evangelicals are approaching this issue of roy moore, i.e. reverend barber and what he s going to say which i m sure is going to be very in your face to roy moore. so i think this is a hypocrisy here that s stunning. like jonathan said, with children, underage sexual contact, assault, and we keep
women i m seeing holding press conferences backing roy moore. women not supporting women is not a new thing, we ve seen it a lot. i do think there s a challenge here and i do think roy moore will lose, but i think that, you know, we re going to see what alabama is going to do. jonathan, sophia springs up the polls and specifically these new polls have doug jones leading roy moore by five points and eight points respectively. how much stock are you putting in those jnumbers, jonathan? do you think there s a silent majority backing roy moore that isn t willing to publicly admit that? i think you cannot at all rule out that there are a lot of people that don t want to tell pollsters what they really think. you also have the fact that there s more than three weeks to go before the election. remember, alex, a month before the presidential election last year, the access hollywood tape came out and a lot of republicans withdrew their support from candidate donald trump and then a month
meeting. similarly, after the atlantic published these exchanges with wikileaks, he had to address the whole conversation with wikileaks. he had not been forthcoming beforehand. if anything, donald trump jr. is putting the white house and you know members of the campaign in a tough spot just because he has not been forthcoming about everything that happened there do you think we ll see donald trump jr. and jared kushner at a hearing answering questions in public? i would be surprised they were not called to do that. thank you so much. the senate questioning the president s power for nuclear weapons. and that s at 1:00 today t. author of a new book explains why he is questioning whether moscow has blackmailed donald trump. .
but alex at the end of the day, we look at the control of nuclear weapons, there is what we call the two-man rule, there are no single person in the u.s. armed forces who can unilaterally do anything to authenticate or launch a missile, it s all two-man control except for the president of the united states. so it s probably appropriate at this point to rethink that policy and have a requirement the secretary of defense and the president collectively should authorize preemptive use of nuclear devices. you are reflecting the sentiments on wednesday on that in the new york times. do you believe the rules do not cater unforeseen circumstances and why is this coming you only since president trump took office in. i think it s coming up, when we look at north korea, we are almost inexorably moving to a
