Former GOP representative Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezinski interview newsmakers, politicians and pundits about the issues of the day. Elections . When were picking whos going to be running the house and the senate . I think right track wrong track is a very important indicator. That and theres often polling numbers of, does this guy or this person, this Candidate Fight for people like you . Those are the type of polls i find a little more credible. Astonishing to me is that it can be down at 35 when the economy on its surface and in its aggregate numbers is doing so well. Id ask an expert like John Heilemann or somebody, have you ever seen right track being 35 when unemployment is below 4 . And since i think the economic numbers wont always be as good, this could really tumble down if theres if there starts to be any blips in the economy. Especially from this continued china trade dispute, which could, you know, start bringing down the economy a little bit. So, joe, since walter invi
Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Deliberating three days after this. I think its very sad what theyve done to paul manafort. Thank you very much. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes. The president appears to be terrified he has a quote rat in his midst. Inside the white house. That i should be clear, thats his word. Rat. Its not the kind of language we are used to hearing from the president of the United States who is, of course, entrusted by our constitution when suring the nations laws are faithfully executed and who is responsible for appointing our most senior Law Enforcement officers. Youd expect to hear that word in a very different context. Your uncle was a rat. Sit down, sit down. Your uncle was a rat and now hes in the witness protection program. Thats my fathers brother youre talking about. Now the president is assuring
the country not that he has obeyed and upheld the law but that he does not hire snitchs. Tweeting the naming Nort
Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Attorney for the Southern District of new york elly honing. Julia, start with you. Did somebody tell the president he could take over this investigation . Where is it coming from . Seems to just be coming out of his adlib interview as he frequently does. Sort of spins from the cuff here. Seems that this is coming from a place of increased rhetoric from President Trump. He wants to show that he has control over the situation. In fact a lot of times likes bringing up the russia investigation. Perhaps that plays to his base who thinks this is part of the witchhunt he describes treating him and others like Paul Manafort unfairly. It could be that hes watching what the coverage of the Manafort Trial, thats getting to him. Could be he sees people like don mcgahn, his white house Special Counsel speaking to Robert Mueller and heard a lot about the fact Robert Mueller could be preparing a slew of indictments to give himse
Were used to seeing from the president. Perhaps this statement was lawyered, it was in response to a request that my colleague Ashley Parker and i made to sarah sanders, first to interview the president. He wasnt available for an interview, but she offered to get a statement from him which he provided. Look, its important because he seems to be creating some wiggle room for his son. We know from our reporting that theres anxiety in the president s inner circle including by the president himself who has fretted to associates and friends that hes worried about don jr. , worried that there could be some legal jeopardy, legal exposure there, and theres a feeling in the orbit that something could potentially happen in the next few weeks. We dont know what that might be. But this maybe the president trying to protect himself, distance himself from anything that may be afoot with his son. All right. So theres the issue of the Trump Tower Meeting which we know mueller has a good deal of inform

Those that know the president best and work with him say he seems like he is backed in a corner and they dont know what it is that the president is going to do next in response to all of this. All right. Kaitlyn collins, thank you very much. Now my conversation with the public
