sharpton and politics nation. good evening. and welcome to politics nation. tonight s lead, as we continue to wait for the mueller report to materialize, the democratic chairman of the house intelligence committee says if the report is not made public, he ll bring the public to the report. we will obviously subpoena the report. we will bring bob mueller in to testify before congress. we will take it to court if necessary. and in the end, i think the department understands, they re going to have to make this public. i think barr will ultimately understand that, as well. clapping back at the subpoena talk, president trump s allies in congress warning that if the report clears the president of collusion with russia, there
that s going to have some sort of impact of who they ll support for the presidential election. thank you, both, we ll continue. kamala harris clapping back to kri critics who says she s not black enough. i am black, i am proud to be black and i was born black and i will die black. a lot more from the presidential candidate, next.
cortes. i think raes liepublicans like k on oac, it s not hard to do but the video of her dancing was pretty adorable but also is said, she courts attention and she s getting it. she s posted about her, you know, healthy me days. she complains about not getting recognized by the police. it s not like a victimless crime where both republicans and aoc, mutually benefit from, you know, their mud slinging and her, like clapping back at them on twitter. i think she s been pretty ademt adept at clapping back. i m not sure what the obsession is with cortes. if the message or if the strategy going into 2020 is to sort of go after a freshman member of the new democratic majority, i think there s going to be some serious problems.
having those acting roles, that uncertainty, again, most of these political operations run out of energy before they run out of opportunities, and the president has some real head winds and so having that kind of exhaustion taking place is not good for the president. he s going to have to pivot. he s going to have to get some focus and some discipline if he s going to move forward in a positive way in 2019. boyd, it s interesting that you mention this lack of stability because nearly every single panelist has used the word chaos to describe this white house. but the president is clapping back. he tweeted, the new fake news narrative is that there is chaos in the white house. wrong. people will always come and go and i want strong dialogue before making a final decision. so basil, what does this say about the current state of the trump administration and why is he really taking offense to this and pushing back so hard? this is happening because he s in denial. that s why he s talkin
so i m not sure what exactly he has in mind. i think it s worth also pointing out, by the way, hallie, that the president s already given saudi arabia so much. when he did that first trip there to riyadh, he celebrated, king salman celebrated the wealth of the kingdom and declined to comment at all, really, on human rights or the atrocities that take place inside saudi arabia, he ignored that bucket altogether. for the saudis, that could be seen as a real win. the white house at the time, phil, you made the argument that those conversations are better had behind closed doors rather than publicly, but perhaps it s changing now. i m not sure it even took place behind closed doors, to be honest. there was nothing from the president about human rights. phil rucker, michael allen, a pleasure having you both on the show, thank you both. president trump tweeting like it s 2020. going after potential challenger elizabeth warren and her dna test. but she s clapping back. warren just one
