Tonight, brandnew nbc polling just out about the president and his handling of all things russia in light of the historic summit. And senator Richard Blumenthal joins us as Paul Manaforts trial gets ready to start and Michael Cohen drops his first mix tape. Plus this time last sunday we were talking to bill broader about the summit with putin. Hes going to join us live tonight after the russian president name chikd him on the
world stage. And later states of play. Democrats are serious about taking back the senate. Heidi high camp will have to hold on to north dakota. We have new reporting on why it could be tariffs, not russia, that make the difference there. But first
Allegedly took place. Brett kavanaugh for his part has denied that any of it ever happened, and so has as High School Friend of mark judge who poured claims was there that night. So that is the sum total of what we know and its still a matter of she said, they said. So without a lot more evidence its hard for anyone to prove anything. But that has not stopped leading democrats from reaching a firm conclusion in this case. How do they know for sure what happened 36 years ago . Because Brett Kavanaugh is a man and therefore he is guilty. Its the y chromosome. Watch as a hawaii and noted geneticist maisie romo describes it. They need to be heard but they need to be believed. Guess who is perpetuating all of these actions . Its the men in this country. And i want to say to the men in this country, just shut up and step up, Do The Right Thing for a change. Tucker did you catch that,
the young woman that he abandoned slowly asphyxiated over a number of hours. Ten years after doing that, he r
So that a positive conservative message can rise to the top of the field. With this in mind, i will suspend my campaign immediately. I encourage other republican president ial candidates to consider doing the same so that the voters can focus on a limited number of candidates that can offer a positive, conservative alternative to the current front runner. This is fundamentally important to the future of the party and more importantly to the future of our country. Governor walk we are a parting shot, obviously, there at donald trump unlike mr. Trump he never caught the public eye. John king joins us now with the late details on that as well as new polling on the democratic side. A lot of ground to cover. Lets start off with scott walker.

Ruled an undemocratic kingdom. Tell us about that. Reporter he was an absolute monarch and he did rule an undemocratic kingdom, and his successor will be the same saudi arabia is an absolute monarchy. There are some legislative authorities. They meet, theres a system in place where leaders of saudi arabia hold councils and meet with commoners and have their own systems for working out problems, but i dont think were going to see any great changes in the way that saudi arabia operates its legal system, its justice system. Saudi arabia is about continuity. The new king was the governor of readd, for 50 years. If he wanted to change things he probably would have done them already. What i think is most important is the idea of continuity. Saudi arabia wants to maintain stability. They want to maintain the same policies that have worked for them kept the family in power for nearly a century. So i think thats the key thing here, not to in fact saudi arabia was actively against rapid moves to
And the connection appears to go even further with revelation that russian spies actually tried to recruit former trump adviser carter page before he joined a couple years before he joined the Trump Campaign. The investigation which, as you know, was stalled by all of that partisan infighting is finally today getting back on track with Committee Members actually meeting. Lets begin with jeff zeleny. We just heard that meeting between you and wolf blitzer and that house intel committee, adam shadam schiff. What was the thrust of that conversation . When you listen to congressman schiff talk overall, one of his biggest points is that he believes the white house is trying to, in his words, cause people to lose focus of the actual russia investigation to get caught up in who was looking at what document where and who was being invited into the white house. Congressman schiff told wolf blitzer that the unmasking is not the same as surveillance and the same as leaking here. Unmasking and wha
