but i won t do it tonight, because i don t want to cause any controversy. is that okay? all right? but sheriff joe can feel good. the pardon paperwork is ready to go whenever the president wants. the president also said this last night which rings hollow, not just tonight, but from what we saw in the campaign. you always understood what washington, d.c., did not. our movement is a movement built on love. it s love for fellow citizens. movement built on love. roll that one around in the brain pan for a moment. it s got political people, some much them begun to worry out loud about the president s fitness for office.
i m not sure bob corker s going to have some major sway with the rock-solid core of trump support. i do think it s instructive, though, to sort of look at, i think there s a difference between the way paul ryan and mitch mcconnell have been proceeding here. paul ryan is much more dependent for his own survival in his job, on the house freedom caucus, folks who go back home, and their voters, in their districts are all rock solid in their support for donald trump. that s a little different political calculus in the senate. we have seen it play out obviously when three members of his own party bucked him on health care in last month. i think you see mitch mcconnell have a different set of political calculations to make, because he s not catering just to the base of the party, he s got these republican elected officials who have to run statewide and need more than just the base. it is interesting, michael, to see the president make the kind of remarks he did, kind of ranting last nigh
comments in charlottesville. the president has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability, nor some of the competence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful. i think our president needs to take stock of the role that he plays in our nation, and move beyond himself, move way beyond himself, and move to a place where daily he s waking up thinking about what is best for our nation. moving beyond himself. supporters of the president says his base doesn t care if the president lies or not, and many republicans believe him over the media reporting it. so be it. but those who don t care if he lies has to wonder what drives him. what is it that makes someone so uninhibited by facts and truth, not in random tweets in the early morning hours when he s
dop oh louse has not responded to our request. it s unclear about the dearborn e-mail as well. thanks. joining me is steve hall, and alana shore. you have new reporting tonight regarding president trump reaching out to republican senators over russia related issues. who are we talking about here? what have you learned? well, we re talking about senate foreign relations chairman bob corker and senator tom tillas. this was on two separate russia related matters. first, corker, trump wanted to talk about the russia sanctions bill. this was the bill that the president had resisted and dragged his heels on signing. senator tillas got a call about the bill he s sponsoring to prevent the president from firing robert mueller. so, just because one of the senators, tillas has a bill to protect special counsel mueller. did that come up in a conversation? do we know anything about the nature of the conversation? it did. a source tells us that the conversation became tense
biggest victim, trapped in the body of the world s most powerful man. this is what he has done his entire life. maybe it was entertaining in new york when he was a brash real estate broker, bragging about his prowess with the ladies. now he s president of the united states. many in that auditorium in phoenix may have enjoyed his rifs. many others in the country believe the act is wearing thin. we want to take a few minutes to go through some of the things the president claimed last night which were misstatements of fact. or let s be real, outright lies. last night the president was supposed to talk about his accomplishments and agenda. it became a 77-minute airing of grievances making himself the victim in the tragedy of charlottesville, that had many real victims, including heather heyer, just 32 years old, struck and killed by a driver authorities say on a mission of murder. the president mentioned heather s first name in passing but spent most of his time on
