Jackson, inside the Briefing Room. Halle, i want to start with you because we dont know when that previousing is going to start and you will have to take your seat. We were not sure when we talked this morning that that was going to happen. Now we have sources saying the president is getting ready to recognize jess let me as the capital. Two sources are confirming exactly that. Custom is obviously signature knlt. Its going to be real implications in the original. It comes despite warnings from allies in the middle east and europe. This is frankly a big deal. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is likely going to be facing questions about that. If i had to predict, as somebody who sat in this Briefing Room and tried to get her on the record on actions the president will take what well hear is she doesnt want to get ahead of any announcement that is going to be coming. That said, we have authorities saying yes the president said this is happening he is moving forward with this. This was just to give
Like right there you got to finish there if you want to throw strikes and a lot of times he comes like that and wonders off. Sort of like that did. Were talking about two things over dinner, one follow through, the momentum taking you down and you go right to the strike zone and two, how hes going to seize the bank over the next six months. Politely knowing jack. Jack is extraordinarily polite. But mergers and acquisitions is his thing just kind of the wind up delivery pitch. What about george . Maybe thats why hes so distracting about the pitching because hes thinking about the m. A. That was an unbelievable performance last night by mr. Bannon. Were talking about that part. I couldnt follow. To have him attack mitt romney and mitt romneys mission nairry work and i think even mitt romneys family and attack one of the most decent men ive ever met in Public Service just shows you how horrified he is, how frightened he is at the prospect of mitt romney running in utah and getting into th
From none other than fox news finds that Democrat Doug Jones is leading republican roy moore by an astounding 10 point, 50 to 40 . Lets beclear. That poll is an outlier. Other polls show roy moore with a similar lead. But here is the thing. This is a real race. Tomorrow it is time for alabama to choose what kind of man will represent that state in the u. S. Senate, and its time for republicans to choose what kind of party they have. One willing to put aside morality to cast ballots for a man credibly accused of molesting a 14yearold girl and sexually assaulting a 16yearold . A man whose unrepentant bigotry defines the rule of law rendered him manifestly unfit to serve even before the allegation against him emerged. Its a defining moment for the gop. And republicans are, well, theyre choosing sides. Or at least sort of. Yesterday alabama senior senator Richard Shelby took the near unprecedented step of going on National Television to make clear he would never vote for his partys home st
2018 election game by striking down partisan gerrymandering. This is mtp daily and it starts right now. Good evening. Im chuck todd here in washington. Welcome to mtp, did the white house back the trump base. Theyre backing citizenship for 1. 8 million undocumented immigrants, but it will come at a steep cost for democrats. Well get to that story in a ploemant. Were going to begin with the president running towards a showdown with bob mueller, as his allies beg him to run away from sitting down with bob mueller. See if you notice a pattern. Under no circumstances should he grant mr. Mueller an interview. Its a suicide mission. Its a very clear perjury trap. Do you think thats a good move for him . Horrible. If i were his attorney, i would grab him by the ankle to prevent him from going into a room and given sworn testimony, walk into a perjury trap. I wouldnt let him get anywhere near this. Trump improvises as he goes. Its a perjury trap. Even if mueller isnt setting it up as a perjury
