Have thrown their hats into the ring. Chuck schumer and Bernie Sanders have thrown support behind ellison. We have idea to hear of hispanic or lateen owes signal their interest for the job. Bottom line, the party was not prepared for any of this at all. They need a game plan and need one fast. Joining me now is likely going to be one of the people. Its Congressman Javier Basera from the House Democratic caucus. Great to see you. Great to be with you. Let me start with the protests of the streets. Is this plenty of Democratic Leaders said understand the protest, but dont do the violence. Is this the time to protest or not . What is your message to the protesters . Civic participation and
restrictions for those who try to manipulate currency to get an advantage against the u. S. . Those are things if he works on it, you want to work with him . We were talking about it way before donald trump. He will find democratic support in that direction, but if he wants to tell an Immigrant Family y
these swing districts. there s a big difference between 2016. obviously, one thing is that a lot of people in our profession didn t take trump seriously. didn t believe he could ever win. he got a lot of scrutiny but this is true not just in the media but a lot of voters. we look at what happened comey didn t think he was going to win. a lot of democrats looked at hillary clinton and found her uninspiring and just said i m going to stay home because they assumed eventually she d win anyway and then they looked up and went, wait a minute. her defects are minor compared to his. the huge difference to 2016, you look at this closing period. people forget how in those closing days of 2016, after comey flipped the narrative and made it about hillary clinton again, how in an extraordinary moment, i mean extraordinarily rare, donald trump was really disciplined the last 12 dhafays that campaign. he talked about building the wall. he talked about change. he talked about draining the
trump. there are signs he might not feel that way anymore. so back with me, ryan lizza and april ryan. and joining me now, cnn white house reporter, kaitlan collins. kaitlan, welcome to the panel. good evening to you. listen, we always hear about michael cohen being trump s longtime fixer, very loyal. we heard cohen gush over the president over and over again. watch this and then we ll talk. in all fairness, who hasn t said something or done something that they regret, simply trying to protect somebody that they care about? and i dare about mr. trump. one thing mr. trump is, he s a compassionate man. he s a man of great intellect, great abilities. mr. trump s memory is fantastic and i ve never come across a situation where mr. trump has said something that s not accurate. mr. trump truly cares about america. he loves this country. he s an amazing negotiator. maybe the best ever in the history of this world.
left in disarray, and i think that s where it still is. i think they re expecting to try to set up a meeting very, very soon, perhaps in the next week or so. but i will tell you that i think the odds against the president sitting down for an interview are still very very much against it. i don t i cannot see the raskins or even rudy giuliani coming in and thinking that this seems like a good idea. don, i just don t nobody really thinks this is a good idea. so, i think even though these discussions are still ongoing, i m told, today i talked about to people who said, look, we haven t closed the book on this. i think that it s pretty much not going to happen. all right. bye, evan! not, phylicia, evan, thank you. we re done. ryan and april are going to come back. stick around. have a great weekend, evan. when we come back, the latest sign that trump s fixer might be about to flip on president trump is a man who always said he would take a bullet for trump changing his mind? yep. we
talked with trump and now a contributing writer for the washington post and also. the author of the trump s three generations of builders and a president. good evening, i m so glad to have both of you on. jonathan, we re going to start with you because it s your reporting we re talking about, trying to convince forbes 400 he was far wealthier than he really was. don, the greatest cons are those you don t even know you re being conned. you re looking at a man for 34 years thought i had been a really good watchdog for the media in keeping donald trump s claims to be worth more than any other realtor, any billionaire on the list down to $100 million. and what i realized was the con was so it was so much of a pattern over 82, 83, 84 that he
