Lots of moving parts to get to together. But first, i want to start with cnns gloria borgoues, mak, and john hillary. Im going to start with you, gloria. I was reliving that. Kiblt was 15 years ago . Standing on the Street Corner interviewing people saying hey, what do you think . Jeb bush, is he still feeling the reverse vacation of his brother in this election . I think look, i think the bush name has always been an issue for jeb. Interestingly, george w. Bush does not hurt jeb bush in a primary. Hes very popular men republican primary voters right now. What hurts jeb in the primary is that hes not as good a politician as his brother was. His brother was a great transactional back slapping people want to have a beer with kind of guy. Right. And jeb is not that way. As you said in the clip you just showed, im not capital cannan america. Hes kind of warming to the campaign trail, but its taking him a while, particularly on the debate state. Sharif push, do you think, as part of his wel
Youre ready for hillary. Youre ready. Veteran columnist and msnbc contributor Mike Barnicle is here. Something very, i feel i feel discriminating just happened to me in the hall an hour ago. Chair of the department of africanamerican studies at Princeton University and columnist for Time Magazine eddie is there it he walks right by me kind of moving over to the other side. I had no makeup on. Neither did eddie. Eddie looked the same. Thats the problem. He had no idea who i was. This happened to me when i walked into cbs when i anchored the weekend news, they didnt let me in. Sorry. Thats the real me. Look at my drivers license. And mark halperin, weve got another hotel let us hope the vacuum cleaning has already taken place this morning. I like when he does his live shot from the breakfast nook at the holiday inn express. Room service next. Love the backdrop. We have to talk about it real quickly. Were going to seven. This is a fall classic, right . The only sad thing about is theres n
Big interview. Good evening. Evening. It is going to be huge next week, with the fbi. The former fbi director james comey testifying before a Senate Intelligence committee. He was asked whether he felt the president pressured him to drop the investigation into Michael Flynn. Hes going to be asked that. So how do you think this showdown is going to go . I think it is going to be one of the most explosive moments of the Trump Presidency so far. And thats saying a whole lot. One cautionary note, it is possible this will be postponed. The white house is working, as you know, trying to claim executive privilege to stop him. Also, the special prosecutor, mr. Mueller, his investigation is metastasizing so quickly. I can see a possibility that one of two things happens. He asks the former fbi director to delay his testimony or truncate what he may otherwise be saying. Something to look at between now and next week, either of those two things happening. This all can and probably will change by
In for chuck todd. Welcome to mtp daily. The president seems to be reveling in a divisive culture war of his own making turning the nfl into a literal political football. This at a moment where you might normally expect a president to be more focused on, say, getting his Health Care Agenda through congress or figuring how to get more aid to puerto rico, officials warn of a humanitarian crisis and plead for additional federal resources. We will get to those major issues in a moment. Theres no escaping the fact that this country elected a pop culture president who rode a wave of cultural backlash to the white house. They didnt elect somebody with policy chops on health care or somebody with government experience handling disaster relief. They elected a president who seems to have a zest for the kind of culture war thats ignited when he calls for a boycott of the nfl, unless it fires the s. O. B. S, as he calls them, who kneeled during the National Anthem to protest Police Brutality again
With partridges and drones and chifferobes. Mounting me on horses. And i had to explain that ive got enough political problems without you making me look like napoleon. Weve got to bring it down just a touch. I want to bring in cnn contributor frank bruni of the New York Times. Nicholas kristof, also a New York Times columnist. Lets talk about all these problems at the white house. As we talk about all the problems there, the white house handling of the porter story, there are bigpicture implications here. This is in the New York Times tonight, a paper you both work for. It says, according to a report by mr. Tenpass, mr. Trumps 34 turnover rate is his first year, in his first year, is more than three times as high as president Barack Obamas in the same period, and twice as high as president ronald reagans, which until now was the modern record holder. Of 12 positions deemed most central to the president , only five are filled by the same person as when mr. Trump took office. That is ve
