Reporter the jet rolled off the end of the runway while landing at the airport bursting into flames. The citys mayor says the plane touched down halfway down the runway before crashing through the airports fence. Some of the fencing wrapped around the planes fuselage. If that would have been where the door was, it would have been more difficult for them to get the door open. So it looks like everything worked in their favor instead of against them.

And theyre going to be spending the weekend instead of calling the race here in bristol, theyre going to take some time off, spend it together recovering from something that everyone is in agreement could have been so much worse. That is very understandable. Take the weekend, by all means. Huge relief among racing fans around the world. Thanks for being with us. All right. The breaking news. So israel has agreed to a low Rashida Tlaib into the west bank after announcing yesterday that she and another lawmaker were barred from visiting. So this is a reversal of a reversal here. There are going to be some restrictions, we understand. Oren liebermann has the breaking details. Reporter israel had made it clear if there was a humanitarian request on the part of tlaib to visit her family, that would be considered separately from a political visit. That was rejected after President Trump said israel would be showing weakness by allowing the two first muslim congresswomen to enter the country. Now that request came in separately for tlaib to visit her family. After they said they would bar the two from entering the country. She said she will respect any restrictions and not boycott during my visit. After a few hours of deliberation today, the interior minister decided to grant that request to allow congresswoman tlaib to enter reisrael and the palestinian territories to visit her grandmother. The interior minister wrote in his statement, in light of that and in accordance with that, the minister allowed her entry into israel for humanitarian needs only. This comes one day after that decision to bar two sitting duly elected members of congress. Trump tweeted israel would make them look weak. Netanyahu a short time later said they would be barred from entering. He pointed out even the u. S. Has barred a member from israel from entering the country, that seven years ago under former president barack obama. It will be interesting to see how President Trump responds to this decision to allow representative tlaib to enter the country. We are monitoring that right now. Thank you very much. Lets bring in to discuss this, Kaitlan Collins, john avalon, and rachel bade. Historically speaking, give us the context on this. Working with a foreign power, an ally, to block two u. S. Lawmakers. There was something of the reverse sof this from the kinesit. The idea its driven american policy historically before President Trump was this adage. Partisanship ought to end at the waters edge. We were united when it came to foreign policy. Take a step back from all the Politics Around tlaib and omar and ask yourself this. Imagine is president of the United States pressuring a foreign power, an ally, to not allow duly elected members of the United States congress into their country. Its a mind blower. And yet theres a certain creeping numbness that comes in with these sort of daily outrages. This is a big deal. Now, it appears that tlaib has gotten this exception to visit her grandmother in the west bank. It also further tightens between netanyahu and trump, it raises the specter of israel seen as a partisan thing. That is bad. That is a dangerous precedent for the United States and for israel, one of our closest allies historically. Thats why marco rubio said this a unwise. So watch what you wish for. By making this relationship seem partisan it denigrates the larger project weve been engaged in. Theres really two things going on here. The president crossed the line no u. S. President has crossed before which is to get retribution against domestic political allies from countries overseas. The other thing that happened is that Benjamin Netanyahu buckled here. Israel had indicated they were going to allow these two members in. And then they seemed to buckle under the pressure from President Trump. It was only after President Trump started leaning on them that they said no. On the other hand, rachel bade, the other hand here is that democrats are now in a position that they havent liked to be in for the last really two or three months. Which is that the democratic elected officials, longtime allies of israel and supporters of israel now has to come out against the israeli government. Thats a tough place for them to be. They hate this for multiple reasons. They see hypocrisy in it. Because israel sort of has been this beacon of democracy in the east. This shining city on a hill for a lot of democrats. But this obviously goes against that. But not only are they concerned about their colleagues being denied entry and what this looks like and how bad it looks, theyre also worried about being pitted against israel and seen as not being with them 100 . When you go back when omar first came out with those comments that people said were blatantly antisemitic, they condemned those comments. Then condemned the boycott of israel these two congresswomen support. And the majority leader steny hoyer whos a democrat from maryland, he led a delegation of several dozen democrats to israel. This was all to show iz legasra say, look, dont listen to trump. Weve always been with you. But this, again, changes that message because they are having to call out israel which they dont want to do. They want to be seen as being a top ally just as much as trump is with netanyahu. They want to be there. But they are having to push back on say this is not okay. And they frankly dont want to do that. I mean, kaitlyn, some analysts believe being antiisrael policy is not the same as being antisemitic. But, of course, all of this follows after President Trump defended the neonazis in charlottesville and israel isnt banning him. Its all so political at this point. You have to look at comments that members of congress have made the president is condemning and what hes not. Theyre focusing on calling themselves the squad. Steve king, a member of the president s own party has made comments hes come under fire for recently saying there may not be any population left if there isnt rape or incest. The president was asked about that yesterday, he said he had not been briefed on the matter, not fully seen the statement but said it was a troubling statement. Its easy to see who the president is targeting here. T im not sure the president is going to draw the distinction that israel is drawing between a political visit and one to visit your family. I still think the president may have an issue with them allowing her to come in to visit her 90yearold grandmother. I dont think hes going to see it the way israel does. Well see. We should remind people that netanyahu is facing another reelection. This is all within the context of the president insertng himself not only in International Politics but domestic politics in israel. I do want to talk about the man of the moment and kaitlyn, im going to put this to you. Thats Corey Lewandowski. The Campaign Manager fired by donald trump back in 2016. The former trump Campaign Manager who was investigated for roughing up a reporter during the campaign, if im correct. Hes considering running for senate in New Hampshire and was at the rally last night with the president in New Hampshire. And the president really seemed to do everything but officially endorse lewandowski. Listen to this. I think hell be tough to beat. Hes going to washington and have you in mind. Hes going to do is a job if he does do it. He hasnt made up his mind yet. But hes fantastic. Thats an endorsement. Thats an endorsement right there. Lewandowski is an interesting figure. Hes also to testify on capitol hill in relation to the mueller report. All this came on the same day. He flew the president to New Hampshire for this rally. Of course thats the same day they issued a subpoena against him. Because they want to talk to him about conversations he had with the president about Robert Mueller and the president directing him to send the message to Jeff Sessions about reining in the special counsels investigation. We have reporting that is a little bizarre that people are caught off guard by. And thats the white house knew the subpoena was coming. Now theyre considering invoking executive privilege to limit lewandowski from complying. Now, there are obvious questions about how you could do that. That is what executive privilege is for. So they can have conversations with high level people in the government. He hasnt worked with the president since the campaign. Thats a conversation theyre having behind the scenes at the white house. Theyre still figuring out if they can make that assertion. But its something theyre considering. It shows how much they dont want Corey Lewandowski to have questions about conversations like that one. We dont evenen have to call gerri toobin for this. We can handle this one. There is no legal justification. Theres no executive privilege unless you work actually in the white house. Which Corey Lewandowski never has. You know what would be a great place to go this weekend if you wanted to get away . Way away. Greenland. I hear. Its so nice this time of year. Ive heard that. Rachel, there are also conversations were told going on behind the scenes that the president wants to purchase greenland . Because why not. What do we know . Yeah. Apparently trump started talking about this earlier this year and sees greenland and all the resources it has and has been saying things along the lines of, if we purchased greenland, it would be great for our national security. Wed have all these resources at our dispense. Sure, great. But greenland is a property of denmark as we know. And semiautonomous of itself. You cant just purchase an island like greenland. And the funny thing about this reporting from my standpoint is youre reading it and all these aides are saying, sure, well look into this for you. Not telling him this aint going to happen. That speaks to aides not wanting to push back to the president and hoping he forgets about it eventually. I mean, hey. William steward purchased alaska from russia. What you love is a president you can imagine him looking at the globe, saying theres a large piece of real estate there. Whats denmark done with greenland lately . Its not as big as it looks on the map. On the map, it gets stretched out. Might be an issue for the president. We show a proportional map, the value may go down . And iceland is more green and greenland has more ice. The president says things and suggests things and people dont take him seriously. They see things like rachel said. Sure. People did not take him seriously. Look. I will say within a few months, theres going to be chants at rallies, whos going to buy it, greenland. Whos going to build it, greenland. And more references to the princess bride. Inconceivable. Lets move on. There are new polls in the 2020 race and President Trump might not like them. Not just who he is trailing here, but how he is trailing. And the one pole number that might be the most ominous of all. Next. You wouldnt do only half of your daily routine. So why treat your mouth any differently . Listerine® completes the job by preventing plaque, early gum disease, and killing up to 99. 9 of germs. Try listerine® and for onthego, try listerine® ready tabs™ managingaudreys on it. S . Eating right and staying active . On it audrey thinks shes doing all she can to manage her type 2 diabetes and heart disease, but is her treatment doing enough to lower her heart risk . Maybe not.

Lower a1c and lower risk of a fatal heart attack . On it with jardiance. Ask your doctor about jardiance. Brand new 2020 National Poll could give President Trump heartburn this morning. It shows the top Democratic Candidates not just beating the president in headtohead matchups, but look at the president s number there. He doesnt crack 40 against any of the leading democrats. Back with us, Kaitlan Collins and john avalon. Hes in the high 30s. Thats not where you want to be running for reelection. Its not. And the president is clearly concerned about this because you saw him last night at that reelection rally in New Hampshire where he was complaining about fake polls. Something you often see when he doesnt like the numbers reflected in this. And its certainly something the campaign is paying close attention to. Which is why you see the president travel to places like pennsylvania, New Hampshire. Because the president is growing increasingly concerned about his numbers when hes matched up with these democrats. He got his f wrong there. Its fox polls. Not fake polls. And thats why its harder for him to dismiss it, right . Because he puts so much stock in foxs affirmation unit. Being under 40 against all headtohead matchups is terrible. I mean, thats, like, jimmy carter reelect levels of bad. And the fact its not just for joe biden but its also for bernie sanders, thats a big problem. Because it does show that his actual support in headtoheads is probably lower than his job approval right now. Of course, its early days. The election is not today, but if the economy is something that hes banking on, then there could be trouble ahead. And what he did last night was really interesting. So on this very bumpy week of all sorts of nerveracking Financial News between the bonds, between the markets, he somehow suggested that only he has a good economy. I mean, he this is not the week, necessarily, to make this argument, but he did last night. Listen to this. You have no choice but to vote for me. Because your 401 k s, down the tubes, everythings going to be down the tubes. So whether you love me or hate me, you got to vote for me. Everythings down the tubes if what . He didnt finish that. I think the president is fully aware of the fact of the people who do aprauf of the job hes doing, the reason they do that is because of the economy. If the economy goes south, its not going to be good for his reelection chances. Thats why youre seeing him try to prepare to blame the fed chairman for whats going to happen with the economy. Already blaming him. Hes blaming the media saying we are trying to crash the economy because we know it will hurt his reelection chances which of course is not true. Hes keenly aware of that. The president has been watching the markets. Thats why with you saw him back off the tariffs. A rare acknowledgment that those tariffs are hurting american consumers. Its something he is paying increasingly amount of attention to. And theres anxiety inside the west wing over it. Sure. And the president s pretty transparent. What he said clearly is his reelection depends upon the economy and negative partisanship. You know, hes going to run down the democrats with the idea also that theyre going to tank the economy and try to do a scorcher strategy and sneak into reelection. Which is why one of the stats in the new poll is so significant. Let me read this to you. This was the president s secret sauce in 2016. Voters who dislike both donald trump and hillary clinton, donald trump won them overwhelmingly in 2016. But now fox news tested for voters with a negative view of both joe biden and donald trump, biden crushes President Trump here. And again, this is a sort of ab skewer number, but it could be this could be a key number for the president. This is a huge deal for that very
