We are getting the job done. As california burns. I saw a tidal wave of fire like right over there, a wall of fire, a tidal wave. Los angeles major Eric Garcetti joins me live when all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes, 19 months after the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel in the russia investigation the president of the United States is nearing completion on written answers to questions from the special counsel about possible collusion and may submit those answers as early as this week. This, during a postelection week in which the mueller team appears to be more focused than ever on links between the Trump Campaign and the russianbacked hacking of dnc emails. A source familiar with the matter tells nbc news President Trump met with his legal team yesterday and was expected to do so again today. The questions and answers pertain only to russian interference in the 2016 election, not obstruction of justice. The substance and timing of that p
First of all, we expected that particularly if the democrats did well in the midterm elections, we would start to see some democrats making public noises, some democrats having the first overt public discussions about maybe running for president in 2020. Richard ojeda, an underdog populist democratic veteran who ran a Strong Campaign in a really trump district, he did not win his congressional race but he was first out of the gate after the election in saying he is definitely going to run for president in 2020. He made it officially official, right away. Right at the closing moments of the elections we also saw a new thinly veiled sort of president ial political ad from billionaire Michael Bloomberg where he speaks at length directly to the camera. After contributing tons of money to Democratic Candidates for this years elections, and telling the press that he is definitely a democrat now and he plans to stay one this time, Michael Bloomberg isnt explicitly saying yet that he is defini
Thank you, rachel. Thank you, lawrence. The shortest honeymoon in history, that is what one british political historian is calling the collapse of Prime Minister Boris Johnsons majority in parliament this week. It is british governing chaos like nothing we have ever seen. And we have the video of Boris Johnson being verbally attacked in parliament today, directly to his face, as is the british tradition. That is later in this hour. In a new Inspector Generals report, its horrifying and predictable. It describes the psychological and Emotional Trauma suffered by children separated from their parents at the southern border and held in custody by the Trump Administration. Easy to predict that there would be Emotional Trauma involved in that. Well have the details of that report later in this hour. And some of those details are very difficult to read. The report quotes people working in those facilities who see firsthand the damage being done to these children. In an op ed piece for the ne
Good evening once again here in new york, day 879 this was of the Trump Administration. And any poll showing donald trump behind pretty much anywhere must be a fake if you ask him and thats where we are on this, the eve of the president s reelection launch which he previewed for abc news. Whats your hit for independent voters. I think well do tremendously with africanamericans and asians and hispanics. Thats your pitch. The economy is phenomenal. We rebuilt our military and taking care of our vets and doing the best job anybody have done than any first term president ever. It is a big car with a very small backseat. We mentioned polling, here it is. These are real on our wall street journal polls showing trumps Approval Rating at 44. The same poll found at 52 of all voters and more than half say they are uncomfortable by voting for him in 2020. University of texas, Texas Tribune poll is also real found 39 of all registered voters and the red state of texas would definitely reelect trum
Advisers and allies. The democratic base, that is an again, some in the democratic what youve described as these president ial field after a illconceived strategy. Racist tweets, racist attacks. Number of can a number of obama let me bring you in. What is your reaction to all you this . Is obamas record fair game . Administration policies on but he would say outwardly to some extent, senator sanders deportations, obamacare, is making the case, look, i want that he would vote the party based on interviews with some to start again when it comes to line it. The interesting thing, health care. I want medicare for all. Though, about texas is that in obamas closest aides and advisers, the response from but if you look at the the last election, prior to language hes used, hes been obamaland boils down to this, very intentional about it saying 2018, the voters in texas were knock it off. Those who served closest to he wants to build on the legacy of obama. The lowest propensity voters. Hes def
