What you promised to do in the first place. Stay out of stupid wars and Start Building this country instead of spending morning tonight yelling schoolyard trash talk at the other kids on the playground. Thats hardball right now. Thanks for being with us. All in with chris hayes starts right now. Tonight on all in. Right now we have so many Nuclear Weapons, i want them in perfect condition, perfect shape. The president threatens a free press. Its disgusting that the press is able to write what they want to write. Reports of an absolute meltdown in the white house. Tonight the Nuclear Dangers with the president on the edge. My attitude is the one that matters. And what to make of his threats to challenge the license of nbc news. Then articles of impeachment against donald j. Trump. The Billionaire Donor who wants democrats to pledge they will impeach the president. And an nbc Exclusive Entire View with the latest weinstein accuser to come forward. He said i have contracts for my next thr
it s most unfortunate. it s time to raise the tenor in this country and may 2019 be that way. elizabeth warren certainly is a viable force. she has a voice in the party. there are other people who are in the party, as well. we have what has been called an embarrassment of riches. and so best of luck to her. i don t think she should continue to be did emeaned by t president. it s just most unfortunate. sam, i wonder, as someone who observes international relations, when you see president trump questioning really her authenticity, whether she has native american heritage, even still, as she has proven that she does with the dna test, it seems like this is it s a trick we have seen before in some foreign elections, questioning the authenticity, questioning if people say if they are who they say they are. what do you think? i don t think president trump is really in a position to be questioning anybody pretending to be something they re not or their qualifications for office at this
they do not have any extra money for a border wall, don t have money for a border wall, period. and that means even though house democrats are going to move forward on something, this is not the answer. so long as the president maintains his current position. and brianna, everybody i m talking to on capitol hill has made clear, somebody is going to have to blink at this point in time. democrats have made clear, they feel comfortable in their current position, and i would just point you to the president s twitter account. if you don t think he s comfortable in his. so the big question becomes, what is the way out at this point in time? this likely isn t it. it s probably going to take another couple of days, maybe even weeks, as well. but more than anything else, it s going to take somebody saying i have to give up, basically, at this point. and nobody is there yet. so ten days right now could go 12, could go 14. i m told weeks is a real possibility at this point. weeks. that is stunn
the wild card here that i picked up from a lot of staff who have been through this, they don t know if the president is the one who is going to feel all the pain here, will he ever feel it? right? he s the wild card. because the president wants this fight. he believes the fight is extremely important for his base. he s pledged this fight was coming for a long period of time. and so even republican lawmakers on capitol hill who weren t to keen on this right now, if the president feels like this is a fight that he can continue to win for his base, for the people that he cares about, then maybe he never gives in. if he never gives in, there is an open question as to how this actually ends. and the whole point of this, the issue here is the fight over his border wall, over president trump s border wall. but his outgoing chief of staff, john kelly, as you re familiar, pam, told the l.a. times, to be honest, it s not a wall. oftentimes he ll say barrier or fencing. we left a solid, concr
the macro point here is that he ll go low and all the rest of us hopefully will continue to go high. senator warren and whomever else throws their hat in the ring will hopefully run as part of an election that we would hope to see in another country, where candidates debate each other on their policy views, rather than attacking them and bullying them from the podium and from the campaign trail itself. but his using, phil, a racial slur when he calls her pocahontas, you know, he s using that pejoratively, is something that took hold. she had to address this. so it s something that s working. he may be going low on this, but she has to respond. she s had to respond to it. yeah. i can one, this was the most predictable response from the president you could imagine. i remember private meetings with senate democrats in the white house where he would bring this up totally out of the blue when she wasn t in the meeting. and i remember talking to democratic senators scratching their heads
