A lot of things. Thanks, appreciate the reporting. Im joined by caroline. Lets get to the conflict issue and what the president wrote over the weekend. Is Robert Mueller ever going to release his conflicts of interest with respect to prtd tr President Trump. What he was talking about with this alleged Conflict Of Interest and white house wouldnt tell cnn either when they asked this question. You think you know what its about and has merit. There are three things we know that President Trump himself stated, theres this lingering Potential Dispute over fees at his golf course and then of course the other issue besides the fact that mueller had worked for wilmer hail, the law firm that represented jared and ivanka and experts in the doj cleared, they vetted him to do this representation ethically. But the issue is that interviewed for ahead of the fbi with President Trump days before his appointment as special counsel. I think as everything in this case, hes grasping for straws. They are using things with sort of a colonel of truth and then distorting them way out of proportion to undermine the entirety of the investigation. I want you to listen to Something Else that Rudy Giuliani was emphatic about in the long interview when it comes to the New York Times reporting that muellers team is looking into the president s tweet, specifically tweets about jeff sessions, tweets about fired fbi director james comey, as to whether or not those are signs of or evidence of obstruction. Heres how giuliani sees it. If they are looking at his tweets, the investigation is done. Were going to do obstruction by tweet on a president of the United States as an article of i am r impeachment . Mueller and his team in terms of assessing the president s State Of Mind at the time that he made these really crucial decisions. Caroline, appreciate the Legal Expertise this morning. Thank you very much. Back to Michael Cohen. Take a look at this. This 2017 tweet that he wrote about that meeting at trump tower, its notable that cohen tweeted this just after minutes after don jr. Went on fox news and said his father knew nothing about the Trump Tower Meeting and after he testified before congress. Let me read it. So proud of that donald j. Trump jr. For open and transparent to the american people. This nonsense needs to stop. That was then. We now know of course that cohen thinks anything but this and thinks the president needs to be forthright and he says that the president knew about this trump meeting with the russians. With me now is denny heck of washington, sits on the Intelligence Committee and questioned Michael Cohen under oath. Thank you for being here. Because of Michael Cohens allegation that the president knew beforehand about the meeting on june 16th as i recall in trump tower, that included the president s Campaign Manager and soninlaw and his son. Meeting with the russians. You said on ms nbc in the past few days that you dont see a reason for Michael Cohen to lie. That struck me because Michael Cohen is under federal Criminal Investigation should he be charged, he would have cause to lie, no . Well, not if you believe that if he continued to lie that the president might pardon him as has been rumored over and over again. He had to make that political calculus for himself. Neither Michael Cohen or President Trump are reliable sources and Director Mueller will have to rely upon a body of evidence, this just being one element of it. Lets talk about the party going forward. You know, when you look at what
democrats should run on in the midterms and in 2020, there is increasing evidence that americans faith in Robert Mueller has declined, gone from 48 in march down to 41 most recently. Should this be a warning sign to your fellow democrats saying dont run on this, dont make this issue number one if youre trying to win your race . Poppy, i dont know of a single democrat anywhere in america who is running on the basis of the Russian Investigation. Heres what i hear them running on, lowering Prescription Drug prices and making sure that people with preexisting conditions are protected so they can have health insurance, trying to build an economy not just grows but grows fairly you and others talk and tweet a lot about the russia probe and a lot about trump and cohen. I talk about Russian Investigation when you invite me on the program and ask me about it. You dont tweet about it . Not much. Do you think your other members of congress should tweet about it and write about it less . I think angie craig in minnesota and lisa brown in
policies, you reform i. C. E. , change the guy in in charge of i. C. E. And take a different approach and dont throw out the border enforcement with trafficking. What they were originally intended to do was not separate families, not rip babies out of the arms of their mothers. Youre not in the camp of abolish i. C. E. I am not. Is there any 2020 contender that you think is too liberal right now, too left for the field that would cost democrats the election . Poppy, starting gun for the 2020 president ial election goes off at 8 01 p. M. On november 6th, 99 days from now. Ask me that after let me ask about the mid terms. Is there any candidate that is too left, too liberal for the party . Do you think alexandria acost ya cortez is too left for party . I happen to have the honor to
chair the committee for the last four years and i can tell ut candidates that are running throughout the country reflect interest and desires and aspirations of their districts. Thats why im optimistic. You think shes more representative of the district than of the country . As determined by the primary election outcome, yes. Thank you for being here. Well have you back and ask you that question. We appreciate it. Thanks for the time. As i mentioned, 99 days until the mid terms and the president throws his own party a curveball threatening a government shutdown. What would that actually mean and look like for republicans come midterms, deadly wildfire still raging across california leaving a path of destruction tens of thousands forced to flee. Well have a live report. It has been years since the plane mh 370 disappeared with all 239 people on board. Will we find out what happened . Investigators are out this morning with a new report.

Its a new day at wells fargo. But its a lot like our first day. Welcome back, President Trump is threatening to shut down the government in september over immigration and funding for a border wall. He wrote over the weekend hes willing to see the government shut down if democrats do not give us the votes for border security, which includes a wall. With the midterms 99 days away, what would a shutdown mean for republicans hoping to stay that the majority in congress . Lets talk with it Ron Brownstein and molly ball. Thanks for being here. Happy monday one and all. Ron, are you in l. A. . Is it very early monday morning in l. A. . Its very early monday morning. Thank you for getting up very early for us. Let me begin with you, molly. Is this for real or is this bluster from the president . Even mcconnell is saying this would put a lot in jeopardy, you have the kavanaugh nomination they would like to see obviously get the votes it needs in congress to get him on the high court before the term starts in october. Is the president really willing to shut down the government with all that at stake . Nobody knows because at this point this is a routine threat from the president. He has literally made this threat every single time there has been a funding bill up. And he has yet to do it. So whether he would follow through this time, one of the things that the republicans in congress have learned in nearly two years of trying to figure out how to get along with this president is that his attention is somewhat in constant and his threats are not necessarily followed by intense focus on outcomes in the past so far they made spending deals with the democrats and some involvement from the white house but not a lot of direct involvement from the president. They put them in front of them and he signed them. However, he is annoyed that wall funding still hasnt come through. And so at any point he could decide to be an obstacle and that is something reflected am
mcconnells comments that very few in congress think would be a good idea politically. Right. It could be hard to name one who thinks its a good idea politically. Ron, listen to this, this is ron johnson together on the radio over the weekend. Is the fnding of the border wall going to wait until after the elections . Probably. That is something we do have a disagreement i dont like playing shutdown plakz. How damaging would that be ahead of the november races . I dont think it would be helpful. Lets try and avoid it. So i mean, ron, will Top Republicans be able to talk the president down from this ledge . I think in the end probably. You know, look the history of shutdowns is they dont work and provide the leverage that whoever is executing it believes will get them what they want. That was certainly true in the mother of all shutdowns back in
95 and 96 with bill clinton and really the Turning Point and i think its worth noting, the president is talking about shutting down the government over a border wall with astonishing consistency, 60 they oppose in every poll. The number doesnt move by more than a point or two. Its also worth noting there are Many Democrats who believe why doug jones won in alabama not only because of policy, it was simply the idea of a return to normalcy. Politics that was not living on def con five all the time. Theres a level of conflict coming out of washington that is unnerving for the public, particularly in the white collar suburban districts, the epicenter of vulnerability. It was kind of overlooked but in the npr maris poll, 68 of College Educated whites in those kind of key districts said they
were embarrassed by trumps behavior as president and just the sheer level of conflict and idea of shutting down the government right before the midterm election, i think would be viewed as a gift by democrats running in those suburban districts at the Tipping Point of the electioelection. I want to turn the corner and talk about the he said he said continues that go on in the saga, Michael Cohen and the president and what the president knew or did not know about the Trump Tower Meeting with russians to get dirt on hillary clinton. Republican congressman darrel issa, in a tough district for a republican, heres what he said over the weekend on fox news, basically saying its not such a big deal if it does turn out that the president lied about this. Lets listen. What hes proven to be a liar, congressman. If hes proven to have not told the whole truth about the fact that campaigns look for dirt and if someone offers it
you listen to them, nobody is going to be surprised. There are some things in politics you just take for granted. Businessmen listen to almost everyone that might be helpful. By the way they make prag natic decisions how to make bad stories go away. In business, a problem is something money wont solve. Molly, really . Hes not a businessman. Hes a president. Well, he does have an interest in his business so arguably he is still fair. I think what we are seeing is a continual evolution, continual sort of falling down the Slippery Slope of attempts to explain and account for whatever the particular reasoning of the president is at the time and it has gone from Nothing Happened to if something happened it wasnt illegal or if something happened it was fine. So i think we are very close to
republicans openly arguing not only that sure there was collusion but who cares it was fine, everybody does it but even ffs a good thing and some kind of strategic genius on part of the campaign as the facts continue to refute previous denials and explanations. Heres ron part of the concern among trumps lawyers, the president s legal team and why it seems they want the Mueller Probe wrapped up now or yesterday really. Listen to giuliani this morning. If he does not wrap it up by september, are you worried this will affect the midterm snz. Yeah, i dont know which way. The people against him get excited about it but its one of his biggest rallying cries, dont impeach. Vote republicans because theyll impeach. I think it sure as hell confuses the midterm and could become a go off on a ridiculous thing about impeachment. It is interesting the new
quinnipiac poll shows if democrats retake the house 65 of democratic voters say they should proceed with articles of impeachment against the president. If its not wrapped up by the midterms, no indication it would be, which party does it help and hurt . Well, first of all, i think as your previous guests, there are no democrats there are vanishing few democrats running on the idea of impeachment. They want to run on primarily on health care and tax cut and that is kind of the argument. I dont know, i dont think it has a huge effect on the midterm if it carries over. It kind of fits into what is the general reinforces the current we already see. The president has a consistent strategy amid all of this, he is trying to turn out more of the Republican Base than the president s party usually turns out in a midterm. The price of that is that everybody not only republicans who hear the tweets and arguments that hes putting out. Gentlem clearly had an effect on House Republicans and move them in the direction because of what hes done with the base that molly talks about it, willing to excuse almost any behavior but everybody else is listening too. If you look at the polling, 60 say they are embarrassed by conduct as president and 61 saying they believe he speaks the truth only rarely or not at all. 40 point majority saying they trust the Intelligent Services more than him about russia meddling. Everybody is hearing this. If youre a republican in a swing district, most of which voted for hillary clinton, many of which are white collar districts at a point where the disapproval among College Educated whites is back up to 60 post helsinki. Is this helpful . It may make the Rubble Bounce in places that are reliably republicans and some republicans in deep red states but in the battle for the house, polarizing the electorate that leaves most defending on the shortened of the stick. 99 days to go. Youll be with us along the way. We appreciate you being here this morning. Thank you. Ahead for us, the Deadly Wildfires in california. Six people including two firefighters have died battling the blaze. Still ahead how the weather and dry air soaring temperatures are slowing the efforts to try to contain this.

Six people are now confirmed dead, serven more missing in th largest of the california wildfires, fed by dry weather and triple digit temperatures, the karr fire doubled in size, covers 95,000 acres and only 17
could contained and continuing to threaten thousands of homes and businesses. Dan simon is in redding with more. Its astonishing how quickly it expanded. Six people dead, including a woman and her two great grandchildren, is that right . Reporter thats exactly right, poppy. I had a conversation with somebody, this is one of the most Difficult Conversations ive ever had with a 76yearold man who is broken after losing the most important people in his life. This is ed bled sow, they were raising their children great grandchildren, had them is since birth. 5yearold james who they called junior and 4yearold emily. On thursday night, ed left his house around 7 00 just to run a quick errand in town. He received a frantic phone call that the flames were suddenly approaching his house. He tried to get back and
couldnt. Ill let ed pick up the story from there. I talked to junior on the foern until he died. He just kept saying grandpa, he said, come get me. Come get me. The fire is coming in the back door. Im right down the road. Come and get us. Emily said, i love you grandpa. And junior says i love you, come and get us, i said im on my way. My wife was the greatest woman in the world and my grand kids was excellent. As you can imagine, hes feeling a tremendous sense of guilt for leaving but never got a warning from anybody that the flames were getting close to the house. That just goes to show you how fast this fire quickly spread through the community. I can show you where we are right here. We are in the town of redding, this is lake redding estates, one of the neighborhoods leveled so many homes have been
destroyed. Right now 874 structures are gone. But fortunately, poppy, fire crews do they they are now making progress. Right now they are up to 18 contained and may not sound like a lot but 4 hours ago it was just 5 . Hopefully they continue to make Good Progress on the lines. Dan simon, cant imagine what it was like talking to that man. Beautiful children, four and five years old. Thank you, dan. Lets get to chad myers for more. They said that this is you heard dan say this is 18 contained. It really doesnt sound like a lot. And youve got this extreme heat, the wind that continues. I mean is there relief in sight . The good news, popty, there is relief but most of the containment is the near the town of redding, near the city limits there. This firestorm that his family was caught in was in an urban and wild Land Interface Area where trees are backing up right to the neighborhood. So they really didnt have any warning as the winds gusted out of control. Were seeing this fire somebody in the neighborhood of about seven times bigger than the island of manhattan, not quite as big as all of the bore roes put together, 150 square miles to the rest of redding. We have very dry conditions, not going to cool down, the high will be 104 or 105. Heat doesnt make fire but the dryness of the air doesnt allow the plants to absorb humidity and they just burn quickly. What we have here, completely covered in smoke. Even air quality advisories for some of the people out there in the valleys as the smoke is being trapped there and its unhealthy to breathe. Temperatures are going to be in the triple digits and weve had moderate drought and many trees are killed because of pine beatles or other problems. So many dead trees burn quickly here. Not only desid uous but when you
get dead evergreens you get real fuel. The next Chance Of Rain, zero, zero, zero. Poppy, next Chance Of Rain for the fires out here wont be until next tuesday. So the firefighters have to do their jobs and get the fires put down because Mother Nature isnt helping. Eight days away. Chad, thank you for the update. A meeting between President Trump and publisher of the New York Times was supposed to be off the record. Then the president tweeted about it and its certainly on the record. Well explain what happened next. Home instead senior care. 1 out of 2 kids dont get enough calcium, vitamin d, and potassium. Make sure your kid isnt one of them. One simple way . 3 servings of real milk a day. Serve real milk at mealtime. Welcome back, im poppy harlow in new york. Let me be clear. It started as an off the record meeting. Ten days ago between President Trump and publisher of the New York Times, what he often calls the failing New York Times and the president tweeted about meeting putting it on the record. The New York Times publisher released a statement over the weekend saying he told the
president his language was quote, not just divisive but increasingly dangerous and went on to say he implored him, being the president , to reconsider his broad attacks on journalism. A look at the president s tweeter time line shows he may not have gotten that message or taken it to heart. Oliver darcy joins me now. Walk me through the back and forth between the president and solz burger on . The white house requested i go he go to the white house and this happened on july 20th. They apparently discussed trumps attacks on the media, particularly him labeling the media as the enemy of the people. Salzberger said in a statement after the meeting, i told trump although the Phrase Fake News is untrue and harmful, im far more concerned about his labeling journalists the enemy of the people. I warned this inflammatory language is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence. So when the president tweeted they talked about fake news and the enemy of the people, it seems sulzberger was taking him to task on this. To clarify, the president s tweet seemed to be misleading if you believe what sulzberger is saying. The president said they talked about the vast amount of fake news the media is putting out. Right. Which is not really what they talked about. It seems they talked about the president s use of the phrase the enemy of the people which is particularly alarming. Keeps using it. I remember when he first used it it was like wow the president now its now it seems like hes desensitized everyone into thinking they normal languageto use, to call journalists enemy of the people. I was surprised to learn it was the white house that initiated this meeting, that it was the president that wanted to sit down with the publisher of the New York Times, an entity he consistently refers to as failing and insists that he has no interest in and does not care about. Do you know why he wanted this
attack . Publicly the president obviously says he doesnt like the New York Times, washington post, et cetera, et cetera, but privately hes particularly obsessed it seems like with these papers, its not too surprising to me he would want to meet with the publisher. The president has shown he is particularly interested in how the media covers his white house and behind the scenes whats going on. Any response theres a legitimacy issue as well. The president is a new yorker, guy from queens and New York Times one of the most eminent papers in the country. A legitimacy issue when you are talked about a lot in the New York Times, right . Right. Theres a lot of reporting hes been seeking that for a long time. Any response from the white house what sulzberger is saying . I dont think there has been a response directly but the president is having his first press availability today. There is going to be a pool spray, first time after the Kaitlan Collins incident. It will be interesting to see how the reporters question the president and hes holding a Press Conference later this afternoon and likely to get questioned on all of this stuff. Didnt take questions on friday after that announcement on the south lawn about the economy. So youre right, this is the first time in about a week hell get a chance to ask questions. Nice to have you as always. Ahead for us, mh 370, we may never know what happened to it but four years later we may know what didnt happen. The new report out this morning.

Way to beijing with 239 people on board, investigators say Malaysian Airlines flight 370 towards back to malaysia under manual control. This is information according to a report on the investigation it was released this morning by malaysian authorities. But they cant say whether or not that means the pilot was in control of the plane. Our correspondent will ripley joins me from hong kong. It is heartbreaking over and over again for the families that just want answers and this report years later, it doesnt give a lot. Right. And theres still that cloud of suspicion that hangs over the pilot and potentially the First Officer and their families because they were the ones presumably in the cockpit although this report Doesnt Rule Out somebody breaking into the cockpit. Whats been so frustrating for vergts, they have extensively checked the backgrounds of all 239 people on the plane. Not a single person, including the pilot or First Officer had any indication of stress or anxiety or motivation to make to want the plane turn around and
head on that probable flight path. Its only a guest mated guess. You have this 495 page report which could be the final report out and has a lot of facts about the search. It talks about 230,000 Square Kilometers searched and 27 pieces of still not the most important answer for these families, which is why and where is the plane and the people they love right now. What about where this all goes . I know they felt this you areuro get something out there. Do they stop investigating . Or does this continue on and on . The most recent search conducted by the private u. S. Company where they searched 112,000 kilometers, that was called off at the end of may. They said they were using the most High Technology available right now. They didnt find anything. At this point, there are no plans to resume the search. Until they find the main wreckage, if that happens, theyre not going to issue too many more reports. This report more than four years later 1,606 days since the plane disappeared, it was the same. It might be a situation where some day, out of the blue, theres a discovery that will be more accidental than anything else because these searches havent yielded results. Will ripley, appreciate the update from hong kong. Thank you. Authorities are taking Safety Measures to protect mourners at the funeral of this woman killed by novichok. The risk of exposure to the public is low. They have advised the Funeral Director to take precautions. Make sure the coffin is in place
when mourners arrive. Her partner was exposed to the nerve agent but survived. Investigators say the couple was possibly poisoned by a small bottle they picked up thinking it was perfume. This happened just four months after a former russian double agent and his daughter were also exposed to it. They lived. Russia has denied any involvement in the poisoning. Ruth Bader Ginsburg hopes to stay on the high court at least another five years. That would mean until shes 90 years old.

Thats when katrina lake founded stitch fix. Today shes 35 years old and runs the 2 billion company and is the youngest woman ever to take a company public. We go way back. Look at this. As embarrassing as it might be, thats me and cat in high school growing up together in minnesota. I wanted to be a lawyer. She wanted to be a doctor. Good for her. We got together a few weeks ago for my latest boss files podcast. It releases this morning. Here it is. You said, im not somebody
looked at and said shes going to be a ceo. Why . It really wasnt my aspiration. That wasnt the path i was putting myself on. People ask, was it stanford that did it . You were surrounded by all these entrepreneurs. Then harvard. Stanford is meant to be larry and sergei were i love you are on a first name basis with them. People sometimes ask me, was stanford the place that gave you the inspiration to be a entrepreneur . The crazy thing is, i almost feel like it deterred me. I looked at people like larry and sergei who were sitting in a garage and building a company and i looked at that and didnt see myself in that. I just think it took me a while to think that this was the path that was available to me. You are making history as the youngest female ceo to take a company public. As you look back and reflect, whats the biggest lesson . Its resilience and grit. To be able to have a moment of adversity and to feel really challenged and motivated and to use that as fuel rather than use that as something that drags you down. Theres a picture that went viral. You held your 14monthold then son on the floor of the nasdaq the day the company went public. You rang the opening bell there. It meant so much for other women, i think for men and women who are parents. It wasnt even a planned moment. Right . What happened . He was there with me. It was an important day. He and my husband were there. Theres a moment before the bell ringing where you give remarks. For that, i had been holding him and kept him with me. The response was amazing. I never anticipated it. I wasnt smart enough to plan all of these things. I understand why, because i think as myself, i never this wasnt a goal of mine. When we were in high school, i
