opposed to the summit. thank you. thank you for being with us. thank you, peter alexander in germany. and the questions are not going away. nikki haley was asked about this in an interview airing tomorrow. take a listen to a little bit of that. he wanted him to basically look him in the eye, let him know that, yes, we know you meddled in our election and yes we know you did it and cut it out and i think president vladimir putin did exactly what we thought he would do and that is deny and this is russia trying to save face and they can t. everybody knows that russia meddled in our election. why isn t the president admitting this. talk is one thing, actions are another. he confronted president putin and made it the first thing he talked about and now we have to see where it goes from here. ambassador nikki haley. johning me josh lettererman and caitlyn burns, reporter, michael
joining me now is basil smikle, executive director of the new york state democratic party, caitlyn burns, and ed martin, former chair of the missouri republican party and a donald trump supporter. ed, i ve got to ask you right now, are you still supporting donald trump? oh, you bet, more today than ever before. we need donald trump s vision for america. and i m glad he apologized. you know, i have two young daughters and two young sons, and i really think that donald trump needed to apologize. i m glad he did. i expect we ll hear more from him. but we have 31 days from now, we have a decision to make about the future direction of the country, and i think donald trump s vision for the future is better than hillary s, so, yeah, i m very supportive. ed, you re losing ground here with a number of your fellow republicans, who are coming out and asking him to either step aside or saying that they won t vote for him. at least 21 have condemned him. do you have anymore to say about those
conversation and discussion is what seems to inform his view of america. and what i would like for hillary clinton to do on sunday is say that enough is enough. the having these locker room conversations imbue our politics and our policy, there s no place for that. and very quickly to caitlyn s comments about the down-ballot races, we re doing that today. we re talking about, we re calling on leaders of the republican party here in new york and hopefully others are doing it in other states to say, do you really stand with this person? because if you stand with donald trump, then, then we need to you need to re-think your politics. and we re going to find out. i m sorry, we ve got to leave it there. we re going to find out how this all plays out tomorrow in just about, a little more than 24 hours tomorrow in the st. louis debate. caitlyn, thank you. basil, thank you. ed, thank you from st. louis. we ll see you there tomorrow. that s all for rom me for this hour. richard lui picks
but we should pivot back to, what s at stake in the election? i m not electing either hillary or donald trump to be my sunday school teacher. i m not. i m asking about their vision for the future. and when paul ryan or others object, part of the objection that they have is that they are concerned, they ve said this, about the vision he has. bill kristol of the weekly standard, he s concerned about the vision donald trump has, because donald trump is saying, let s protect ourself, americans first. that s what s at stake. and i think you re seeing democrats look, hillary clinton offended lots and said terrible things about bernie sanders supporters. but people said, look, i m going to support her or not support her. it s a big moment, i m not downplaying that, we need an apology, but now let s get back to who s going to lead america going forward. and i think that there s real issues at stake and we re going to hear about that. not electing a sunday school teacher, you sound a lot
