going to allow these two members in. and then they seemed to buckle under the pressure from president trump. it was only after president trump started leaning on them that they said no. on the other hand, rachel bade, the other hand here is that democrats are now in a position that they haven t liked to be in for the last really two or three months. which is that the democratic elected officials, long-time allies of israel and supporters of israel now has to come out against the israeli government. that s a tough place for them to be. they hate this for multiple reasons. they see hypocrisy in it. because israel sort of has been this beacon of democracy in the east. this shining city on a hill for a lot of democrats. but this obviously goes against that. but not only are they concerned about their colleagues being denied entry and what this looks like and how bad it looks, they re also worried about being pitted against israel and seen
underdog. but it d be close. if it goes this way, he underup down here. take a look at this. will here we go. so let s say job growth got slashed in half, right? and this is basically what we were dealing with. now the president has under 1% job growth and he s part of this group here. the two presidents who lost re-election the latter half of the 20th century. and so that i think is the big fear this week that we ve been dealing with the president as if the economy stays the course. the economy can help him out. but if the economy slows down, then he could be in major trouble. it s right at that tyipping point right now. exactly right. what do you want to tell us about the democrats? we had this fox poll that came out and i averaged in. biden still leading the pack. 34%, 32%, post-debate. elizabeth warren, she is most definitely up. everyone else lost a little bit. right now biden up ahead but warren has momentum. in terms of the obama factor
is for. so they can have conversations with high level people in the government. he hasn t worked with the president since the campaign. that s a conversation they re having behind the scenes at the white house. they re still figuring out if they can make that assertion. but it s something they re considering. it shows how much they don t want corey lewandowski to have questions about conversations like that one. we don t evenen have to call gerri toobin for this. we can handle this one. there is no legal justification. there s no executive privilege unless you work actually in the white house. which corey lewandowski never has. you know what would be a great place to go this weekend if you wanted to get away? way away. greenland. i hear. it s so nice this time of year. i ve heard that. rachel, there are also conversations we re told going on behind the scenes that the president wants to purchase greenland? because why not. what do we know? yeah. apparently trump
sees greenland and all the resources it has and has been saying things along the lines of, if we purchased greenland, it would be great for our national security. we d have all these resources at our dispense. sure, great. but greenland is a property of denmark as we know. and semiautonomous of itself. you can t just purchase an island like greenland. and the funny thing about this reporting from my standpoint is you re reading it and all these aides are saying, sure, we ll look into this for you. not telling him this ain t going to happen. that speaks to aides not wanting to push back to the president and hoping he forgets about it eventually. i mean, hey. william steward purchased alaska from russia. what you love is a president you can imagine him looking at the globe, saying there s a large piece of real estate there. what s denmark done with greenland lately? it s not as big as it looks on the map. on the map, it gets stretched out. might be an issue for the
president. we show a proportional map, the value may go down? and iceland is more green and greenland has more ice. the president says things and suggests things and people don t take him seriously. they see things like rachel said. sure. people did not take him seriously. look. i will say within a few months, there s going to be chants at rallies, who s going to buy it, greenland. who s going to build it, greenland. and more references to the princess bride. inconceivable. let s move on. there are new polls in the 2020 race and president trump might not like them. not just who he is trailing here, but how he is trailing. and the one pole number that might be the most ominous of all. next.
