and i don t think we should conduct foreign policy in our bathrobe at 5:00 in the morning. congresswoman congresswoman gabbard for a party that associates itself with christianity to say that it is okay to suggest that god would smile on the division families has lost all privilege to use that again. pass the torch. i m holding on to that torch. the issue is who has the guts to take on wall street? you know what, america does not want to witness a food fight. they want to know how we re going to put food on their table. what a night. joining me debate coach and president of o donnell and associates, bret o donnell. miami herald staff right, susan dell percio, and basil smikel. thank you for being here. i want to start with cottage farms kamala harris with kamala harris talking about
o donnell will not be seen tonight because we ve got something special. chris matthews is in dayton, ohio tonight for a town hall with the deciders, with swing district voters whose votes as a whole are absolutely up for grabs in the deciders with chris matthews in dayton, ohio starts right now. tonight, we have a special presentation. chris matthews is in dayton, ohio for the second in a series of the deciders of who will be the next president of the united states. voters voted for barack obama in 2008 and in 2012 and then in 2016, that same county voted for donald trump. here now is chris matthews with the deciders.
fair amount of executive authority when it comes to the issue of national security. but let s think about what trump is talking about. what he s saying is he can declare a national emergency for any reason and then make the military into his private construction company. under this theory he s going to fly to mar-a-lago right after he makes this announcement. let s he looks out the windows and decides the greens aren t in good shape. this is not the way the military is used. this is not what the authorities are designed for. it s illegal. if and when he s challenged in court, i think the judges will agree with that. we ve been looking on the other side of our screens at a shot through the doorway that leads to the oval office. the rose garden is just outside the oval. there s a glass door. and oftentimes in these situations we try to look and see who is in there and talking with the president. is he close to coming out? i can t tell who is behind the door right now. o donnell may h
been friends for 30 years. i ran into the new chairman into the hallway. he does not expect democrats to rip barr apart. he thinks this is the kind of situation here where democrats acknowledge. you have to have somebody in that job. bill barr, who has been attorney general before, essentially grew up in the justice department, is actually a pretty good choice. i want to bring my panel in. it is an excellent one. eddie glaud, professor at princeton. david jolly, congressman from florida who has left the republican party. jeremy bash, former chief of staff at the cia and the defense department. all right, jeremy, i must start with the president s statement yesterday that lawyer s o donnell says will be trump s i am not a crook. he said i never worked for russia and the fact that kristen welker even asked him the question he said was a disgrace. it reminded me of when i pushed mike flynn on putin.
russia. i had miss universe there a couple years ago. other than that, no. we can make deals in russia very easily if we wanted to. i just don t want to because i think it that would be a conflict. i own nothing in russia. i have no loans in russia. i don t have any deals in russia. i had the miss universe pageant which i owned for quite a while. i had it in moscow a long time ago. but other than that, i have nothing to do with russia. i could, but i didn t because i think it would be a conflict. he said it right there. listen to what happened when cbs s nor a o donnell asked then campaign chairman paul manafort about russia back in 2016. so, to be clear, mr. trump has no financial relationships with any russian oligarchs? that s what he said, that s obviously what our position is. this is a little awkward.
