laws. martin o malley was the democratic governor of maryland. he recently stopped a pac to help down ballot democrats. he will be one of the people charting the future of the democratic party. he joining us tonight to tell us what it is. governor, great to see you. thank you, tucker. good to be with you. thanks for having me. merry christmas. tucker: merry christmas. it seems to me that the election of trump opens up a bunch of questions for democrats, obvious one who is who are we going to be? reclaim our place as the party of the middle class or not. i think they could probably do pretty well if they did that. but that s not obvious from the priorities. would would the democrat party put amnesty for daca recipients at the very top of the police of things to get done at the end of the year. look, i think the core of the democratic party remains that commitment to that timeless american ideal of opportunity for all. and were we not a country of immigrants we would not be the cou
grandstanding. and i believe in order for the country to heal and for houston to heal, he needs to concentrate on getting everyone together to help save the people that need the help. get money to the people that need the help because people have lost their lives. people have lost their homes and without him unifying, he is going to make this about donald trump. abby: not everyone agrees with that the president is who he is. that s the person we voted into office. is he not the type that s going to give hugs. is he going to offer solutions and that s what we are wanting. how do you think he did. i think that s the case. i think is he doing a fine job. is he doing a stellar job actually in showing leadership right now. sea very unique personality. i think we have come to accept how he is. abby: has the media accepted that? no. i don t think there is. abby: search sort of giggling at that. that s an obvious one. i don t think there is much this president can do right in certain peo
but since 1909, number two is robert e. lee. i think when we have so many other people, in 2017, is it really robert e. lee that we would say is the person we want to stand for who virginia is? i m not sure it is. and you look at that. you have also in virginia two slave holders representing the state of virginia. right. and you could look at it two slave holders, two people that the most recent of whom was active in the 1860s. we haven t had anything good in the last 100 years that we think should respect us. there were statues designed to be removed over time. the only requirement is that you can t remove anybody within ten years. i think a lot of states have to grapple with it.
the access hollywood tape or the russian government? that s an obvious one. kimberly: it s clear that nbc news has been on a mission before and after the election to take down president trump. 2005 is the year that mr. trump married his lovely wife melania. this was their first jointly filed tax return as a married couple. that tax return would be used as a very important piece of evidence as to whether or not she should get citizenship. so you better believe that the 2005 tax return is going to be sterling, right? that it s going to display excellent citizenship and no red flags whatsoever. i had hope and an open mind and i have lost hope completely and my mind is closed. this presidency is fake and failed. when he said today america first. it was not just a racial, i mean, i shouldn t say racial. the hitlerian background to it was the message what does theresa may think about it this morning when she picks up the papers? what does she say? you are the kind of guy
let s give two pages of my tax return to david k. johnson, someone very tough on him in the past, strikes me as improbable. i m a believer in the random nature of the universe. absolutely not. i think you have to be open to the idea that wasn t donald trump that came up with idea but one of the advisers, steve bannon, somebody who strategically realizes if put this out and goes on msnbc and they try to trash donald trump, only bolsters the case for him. glad you re getting the wrath of jeffrey toobin tonight and not me. come on, don. but i ve got to ask you this william. i got one of the notes that you got that said would make sense, 2005, before the u.s. lenders cut him off and dependence on russia deepened.
