Rev. Al Sharpton reviews the days top political and humaninterest stories and interviews newsmakers from across the political spectrum. Might be shrinking a little bit, but that base is going to stay the same. The Republican Party hasnt changed. It remains free trade, doesnt like his tariffs, remains very solidly behind brett kavanaugh, they like neil gorsuch, they like the military buildup, they love 4 gdp. If the president were not dragged down by the scandals and the russian investigation, 55 , the generic ballot right now is 7 if you look, about 5 of them, but it is about 7 , i dont think there is a blue wave, i think that Heidi Heitkamp will lose in north dakota. I think that joe manchin will lose in west virginia, joe donnelly in indiana will lose, bill nelson will lose in florida. I think the republican to pick up four or five seats in the senate and theyre going to hold the house because you do not have outside of the core msnbc audience, outside of your core support, al, there
That he basically hadnt read the whole interview and the reporter said no, i did include that stuff. But that is by far not the most important part of what we heard from the two of them. It is striking the reversal that we saw from the president on every front except for immigration. Reporter thats right. I think a lot of people are referring to this as damage control. Im not sure if that is what it is, but i do certainly have whiplash because just 24 hours ago, this interview was coming out last night about 12 hours ago and this president blasting theresa may on her own turf in his own words, in an Audio Recording that you can hear the president make these remarks himself. And he is saying that it is not true, he did not criticize her when in fact we all realize that he did, saying she didnt take his advice for leaving the European Union for brexit. And saying that one of her greatest political rivals Boris Johnson would be good at her
job. Now, the president was asked specifically ab
Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Of the house judiciary committee. Congressman, let me start with you. Do you think Michael Cohen is credible . I do. And if Michael Cohen is telling the truth, it means theres at least three felonies in what hes about to say. First, donald trump conspired with a foreign power to influence the election. Second, donald trump went ahead and lied about the meeting, which could be potential obstruction of justice. And third, trump junior lied to congress when he said his father did not know about this meeting. Were way beyond not normalizing what shouldnt be normalized. These are potential criminal felonies. Thats why the Robert Mueller investigation needs to proceed without any more political interference. You know, there was always a striking thing that happened on the house side, the House Intelligence Committee in your investigation into these matters, which it sort of said, well, we wrapped up and found n
Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Thats what Rudy Giuliani said today. He wasnt arguing about that statement from Michael Cohen, who is alleging that President Trump did know about that meeting before it occurred. Rudy giuliani only said that he could state for the record that President Trump did not attend that meeting with those russian officials, which is not something that was in question in the first place. It was whether or not President Trump knew about it, which is something that his aides and President Trump himself have denied for months now, including that President Trump said he just found out about it in july of 2017, a year after it happened. And donald trump jr. Testified in front of lawmakers that his father did not know about it before. So it would be increasingly problematic. That is the question now, anderson. It is essentially the president s word versus Michael Cohens. But the white house does not seem to
The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. Muellers team to the test here. Do you think he testifies . Thats a tough call. I would have to handicap it as being negative. I would not put him on. Shimon, lets remind people of the judge. His name is judge ellis and he said point blank to muellers team you dont really care about mr. Maufrts bank fraud, you care about what he could give you that would reflect on mr. Trump and lead to prosecution or impeachment. He hasnt always swung their way in the pretrial hearings and motions. In fact, President Trump used those words in a speech at a rally sort of thinking perhaps the judge would cite his words. So that was something the defense team was hoping they would get a dismissal on some accounts or perhaps some of the decisions would go their way. This judge is known to speak his mind. Hes very well known in the district and he mov
