his wife jill talking about president trump s attacks this morning. listen to that. so when joe and i decided to get into this race, we knew it wouldn t be pretty, and we knew, you know, donald trump would throw everything he had at us, and then that s what he s really started to do. but you know, what s happening right now really is just isn t a matter of civility or decency. our constitution really is on the line and our nation s character is on the line. beneath the rhetoric is a truth that can t be rewritten. he doesn t want to run against joe biden. peter, what s your reaction? well, i have empathy, but at the end of the day, we re watching the democrats eat their young ones again. hillary clinton attacking tulsi gabbard, joe kennedy running against a venerable and wonderful senator in
point, saying let s maintain the integrity of the party, and that is no longer happening. and again, this is what happens. they retire, they don t run for re-election. if you cross trump, you realize that your re-election may not happen. but we need those members of congress to stand up to him within the republican party, and that is just not happening, which is creating this very dangerous space where no one is calling him out within his own party and it needs to start happening. and if it doesn t, this is, you know, something we re going to continue to see, all of this bad and inappropriate behavior that is definitely impeachable. peter, what about kasich saying he s for impeachment? how are democrats reading those kinds of shifts? well, after a week in washington talking to democratic leaders as well as some republican friends of mine, i think shift may be too strong a word. i think crack okay, fair. a little crack in the wall is a more accurate description. okay. simp
ukraine, syria, and the g7 site. and moments ago, congressman rooney announced he will not be seeking re-election. joining me now, peter emerson. he worked in three democratic administrations, republican strategist rina shah, and conservative commentator ashley pratt, an nbc think contributor. let s start with congressman rooney, who is not saying he is for impeachment or for an impeachment inquiry, but he is saying he s thinking about impeachment. and now we have this retirement news. what do you make of all that? well, yesterday i heard congressman rooney s interview with npr, and it was also very much the same. like you said, he did not come out saying i want impeachment, i want it now. he expressed great concern for acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney s comments and also gave cover there, saying that i like mick as a person, i ve worked with him in the past, he s done great things. i think what we need to really look at, though, here, is that how very convenient for t
president trump s best day, period. okay. brendan boyle, congressman from pennsylvania, always very good to see you. thank you so much. thank you. to all of you, let s go back and take a look at what s happening there overseas in biarritz. there you see president macron. full screen there. he and his wife are greeting those that are incoming for the g7 meeting there. an absolutely beautiful setting in the southwest part of france. they will be having a working dinner shortly. of course, with all the members of the g7. they will be taking some photos. we re getting ready for the ultimate class photo, as they call it, but that can only happen after everyone has arrived. we re expecting the arrival of the president and first lady any time now, but quite a picturesque setting. i m going to bring in three guests on my panel right now. we have peter emerson, nirks
continue to put themselves and their families in a position to with stand the remaining we re listening there to louisiana governor, and he s talking about the severity of this category 1 hurricane. this is a slow moving hurricane, it s moving at 5 miles an hour, as it approaches homes and businesses, and people see the torrential rains coming out of there, those rains will be lasting and lingering for a while, leading to what they re saying will be widespread and pretty remarkable flooding. we re going to stay on top of this, we have michelle grossman here. she ll be following us throughout the day for us. let s go back to the conversation i was having with amy and peter. we almost were going to get to this point, the president not being one to shy away from name calling and insults. how many times have we heard him say disgusting, wacky, crazy on his twitter feed, right? with jeffrey epstein, he leaves it at saying, he s not a fan.
