dynamic can go beyond that s really what i ve been watching for. were there going to be people aside from these two men that we talk about all the time because they are regularly taking on this president, lindsey graham and john mccain to very little effect within the broader pieces of their party. we did see when we talked about this yesterday paul ryan coming out more quickly perhaps with statements condemning neo-nazis, but as you said, joe you get no credit for condemning neo-nazis in 2017. but you do get credit even from your own base for standing up to power, speaking truth to power. lindsey graham s been there long enough. what donald trump doesn t understand is the more he engages lindsey, the bigger he makes lindsey. lindsey graham has nothing to worry about with the voters of north carolina. they love him, he gets elected
calling him an idiot on the inside? you ve been saying this for a long time, joe, that bannon is exa acting like president bannon and the real president has not got i don t know rit rid of him. there as got to be a reason that trump is very reluctant to let bannon go. maybe this is the test of john kelly. can john kelly demote or fire steve bannon. if it going to happen, it going to happen soon after this interview. this is what he does all the time. he leaks to everybody and he leaks as if he is the president. this is what i m going to do next, this is what i m doing over here. i don t have to worry about jared because i m going to wrap the russia thing and his neck so much he s going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. that s how he talks to the media off the record. he is leaker number one. and it is remarkably, the reason
president. i believe what you say, but just to summarize, the republican senators and house members that have been elected to represent this country are afraid that the president may tweet something negative about them? joe, what s so revealing is when you read a lot of the statements from these republican lawmakers, and they do not mention the president by name. they speak to the issue of white supremacy and white nationalism and condemn it, but they re not trying to actually engage the king of the republican base, president trump. i think in part it s out of fear. in part it s an evaluation of their own political capital. they don t have enough to go head to head. it s ridiculous. it s just a tweet, guys. new poll numbers for the president shows his summer slide continues. a poll conducted tuesday through saturday puts his job
him. this is a look at how he repaid the business executives with people who associated themselves with an administration that looked a little dicey. as soon as they start leaving, he attacks. it s very strange, and joe, you bring up past presidents. if we could look at the tweet, this is not about how other politicians act. yeah, the flake one. this is not how you would want kids to act. this is cyber bullying. this is calling people names. this is if only there were an initiative for that. if only there were a platform or initiative for someone in the white house who could talk about the issue of cyber bullying and maybe teach the president this is not nice. it s wrong. i think they can do that. it s morally unhinged so much. it would be helpful. bob costa, what is the
fantastic. it energized him. i ve never seen any article that shows more effectively without even trying that donald trump is disconnected from the reality that the rest the leadership in america, the military, business and political community where they live. look, joe, there s nobody defending what the president did in private conversations, the republican, democrats, you name it. there is one thing thoo bat ban did in the interview people aren t dog whistling anymore. he said the longer the democrats tack about identity and we go with nationalism, we can crush the democrats. you talk about people all the
