Wounds. Its a very dishonest media, right there. I really believe they dont like our country. When one part of mamerica hurt, we all. When one citizens suffers an injustice, we all suffer. I went to better schools than they did. I was a better student than they were. We are one home with one flag. I hit everything, the White Supremacists and neonazi, i got them all. Kkk, i got them all. There is no challenge too great for us to conquer. The on people giving a platform to these hate groups is the media itself. Wow. Welcome to morning joe. You know, for over a year now there have been people that have been saying you should not try to figure out the president s mental state and if he has any issues, dont try to be a pop psychiatrist or psychologist but i can say safely, willie that he at least has in its most advanced form plet call schizophrenia. Thats just from three days. And the back and for the is insane. I think what we need to try to dig into today is, first of all, how much does it degrade his effectiveness because word do matter and at some point even his own followers may say enough. But, secondly, why did he do what he did yesterday . Because he always now last tuesdays horrid press conference where he equated a fascist with antifascists, the rest of the week everybody was rushing out going we had nothing to do with that, the staff. Right after the speech in phoenix, they all started immediately leaking, we had nothing to do with this. I got the sense that general kelly i think at this point is pretty fed up with it. I wonder if general kelly and theres no way he will. Even if general kelly got him in that nobody believes that the yesterdays version of donald trump is the real donald trump. The message of healing and unity is the one that he actually believes, because when hes not on the teleprompt when he totally undid his words and talked about both sides. Why does he keep going back and for the and back and forth, though . Pick a side. It doesnt even mack sense for donald trump. Pick a side. Well, i think in the case of charlottesville, he didnt like that he was personally felt that he was railroaded into making the speech that he made so he came out at trump tower and said i got pushed these these word and apologies and the arrest of it, i think it personal grievance, which Donny Deutsch speaking. These are fraction times. You know, willie geist, things must have prngs its kind of sad when you have a veteran who has had a storied career in the field and thats not going to get you any dates these days. You called when i said the trump rhetoric in north korea was okay, be not with that morning. Kprp and carol lee joining us in washington. Of so why didnt he give a contrite speech and gaver in part of this during the campaign. It just depends whether they can get her to be on the teleprompt b. From this show doesnt have very much teleprompter and you see the personalities of the people, like a willie geist, a donnie deutsche. Theres no way the Trump Presidency will succeed unless hes himself and hes just not himself on teleprompter. So yesterday didnt solve a thing. It just creates people wondering why he cant be like that more often without the teleprompter. So, donnie, you have obsessed, it been your job to obsess over Brand Management for corporations, public fings are and hes cutting against and youre going to continue narrow casting, which keeps you at 33, 34, 35 , i mean, he will not get reelected. If he continues narrow casting, he will lose badly. There were a couple of polls out yesterday showing both biden and Bernie Sanders just absolutely destroying him like 51, 5 to 35, 36 . But if youre going to narrow cast, nair other cast. If youre going do expand your audience, expand your audience and have the guts to do that knowing that your base is going to stay with you. But hes in a dead zone here. What do you you tell why are client if i would tell my client they need help. You know, i watched the speech the other night and weve been at this for two years now. We all try as intellectuals to and no, no, no, donnie, owe we put out this ad that says were sporty, we sexy and the new gm and the next day they put out an ad that said, hey, ear why fathers frpgs thats what im talking about. What would you say to that gm ceo that changed his image radically every day . Would i say what any third grader would say to them, you stant for something. A brand is a set of youre going to stand for nothing. You within i would say people are going to turn you o flchlt nothing matters anymore. Thats what happens. Yours sffrpgs richard haas and weve all seen this through the years. At what point does his grace pull on to this and at what point does the stop trying to ul f the media is evil, the media is bad, the take news, fake media, fake news. After a while there were reports that the crowd started to dipercent and fade away in the middle of this speech in phoenix and that it wasnt as big of a crowd. Independe independent. For frmt nobody was listening by in can be krk if youre going to feed the best, you have to keep it most and more and for me it impossible to sustain. And is this attempt from dies buyon ands will fchls it raises at least Foreign Policy concerns overseas because these things are heard around the world. Its not just an person echo came bers. It raises whether other countries can rely on her bus brngs whatever the domestic political upside, theres not easy to know it works against anything you might want to accomplish in the world fwrmt 59 disapprove of the job hes doing. 61 feel President Trump is doing more to unite the pack and. 60 said hes doing more to divide the country. And 30 feel trump is bringing the right type of change. 23 say theres been little change at all. Voters are against the way that trump talks about the media by a nearly 21 margin. 40 approve of the medias coverage trump while disappoint ma. I think they care about the numbers for the base, thats what im told. And they feel like the basis is holding steady. Among republicans in a hole, you see some drop in raspberry but its still pretty good. Oo frrnlt sffrmt. Thats some of the up and down. But if you hook it. He feels like from what. Thats right. And weve talked about over and over again. He feels like what worked for him during the campaign would work for him frnl he had a script at that rally and it takes him become to campaign and fmt it was military members where hes announcing a policy for afghanistan. They f they had n and in his private time mistaken. Hes clearly someone who sits and and thinks about whos given him, in ands that when he feels free to unleash. Marc n right now again, it just the base. And it so interesting, were talking about the white house and were just focused about the base, were just focused about the way, weve al about it prch has been so lowered, the expecks for drft. Other than behavior and pen. I think we need to ask following for fshlg atlas and you a pollster bragging about a poll that show that 42 of republicans pr prrks only 42 of the Republican Party sure they would vote for donald trump in a reelect. F because of this steve bannon focus. The people in the white house think theyve convinced the president that he needs to chang course. He switched chiefs of star, prks theres not a fundamental as soon as zprfrm academics, many people who work in the white house, cabinet prnfrrjts would suggest he just want to do more of the same. Im sofr, go ahead, sir. Go ahead, donnie. Sfchlt kol jis. We have to stop looking for lodge being,ly say that and start looking to federal budget instead i will use the word illogical. I was watching you yesterday morning and you looked tired. Im not saying that just because you are a handsome man and always will be a handsome man. Thank you very much. But it gets to a point where you cant put your arms around it anymore. There are no chess move to go, ah. And a particular state of mine ands that ands thattin. Chip well, it may not be that he has predementia. It may just be that. I will go crazy and i will be so inappropriate and i will tay nusk i will be abusive to her. I dont know who else did or didnt, i didnt follow it that closely, if somebodies in fshl. When people do work for me, instead of paying them, i will hire lawyers and i will make them drag me to court and i will show absolutely no class, i will show no dignity, i will try to take advantage of every person i can. And then you start running for president , you attack war heros, you attack meggin kelly. Just go down the line. You call beauty queens fat. You attack mothers whose sons gave their lives in iraq, gold star mothers. Please dont foe get the pope. You attack all of these people and you still you attack the hope and you win. They will never repeat themselves again, okay . That is neff, ever going to happen again. You could have run the election a hundred times in a hundred defer so, donnie, the mistake his makes is by the way, he even said that. If the lebss were held a week before, i pro have sfwrernl thats why you guys beating him by 15, 20 points. Thats why Mitch Mcconnell is going i dont need this guy. Hes a loser. Yeah, i may be at 18 kentucky but i can take care of kentucky, he cant. Fix this. And tease what donald trump doesnt understand. So they continue narrow casting and that are riding it off a cliff. Kim jong un, now theyll boo hav haven. To me thats a about why were zbrrjs but our frmt that often would help him in the rough and tum p thats still his mindthis the. Hes a previous mine to change yet, its foolish. Let just say what we all know. Tuesday night in phoenix was drft. Yesterday night and yesterday. Listening to general kelly or whoever the rizer was who got no f when youre president and go after Mitch Mcconnell and you call up tom tillis and i do all these things that politico is reporting this morning. Those are the people you need to become a great president. He need all these people and he shouldnt be firing indiscrip nantly at them. Thats what we were talking about yesterday, what didnt make sense. And what i dont understand why Trump Supporters dont even get this is that everything he is doing is hurting his agenda. Pass tax reform. To pass Regulatory Reform all of these people, hes just hooting himself in the foot politically. It makes absolutely no sense and yet he still keeps dpog it dlajt theres a famous story where but eisenhower succeeded as prz because he apfrm wont help him uk sed n he had fail as president. Ffrm or have they given up on that snm this as the white house permanent come him really try to oug pufrpgs sure theres the paper flow. In the idea he can control the president is just he cant. He knows that to a certain, tent. And so the focus seems to have been on the staff and how to create an apparatus around him that is at least functioning in a way that can try to move the president s agenda forward. The president is heading into this fall where theres a number of very serious legislative issues and funding the government in this rift with congress, see republican kind of tuning him out. How that plis out is going to depend on how he engages with them this fall. Think think there is some hope, at least on the hill, Johnson Kelly will make that process go a parkmorningen yrn the tez drengs contender joins us ped.

One that keeps you connected to what matters most. Welcome back to morning joe. Glen simpson, whose firm spent more than ten hours being questioned by the Senate Judiciary last week. Chuck grassley said he will order the minutes released. I would like to know what they discovered in that meeting and i would like the transcript released. Will you do that . The answer is it will take a vote of the committee to do it. But will you do that . Of course we will put it to a vote of the committee. Will you personally vote for the release of the transcripts . I dont know why i wouldnt. Senator grassley also said simpson and his attorney would have to receive a copy of the transcript to look over before it was made public. An attorney for simpson said the transcript reveals all of the testimony based on the hours of staff. He said we appreciate the opportunity to review the transcript. Joining us, democratic senator Richard Blumenthal of connecticut. Senator, will these transcripts be made public . I believe they will be. I certainly will vote for them to be made public. Glen simpson should testify in the committee in the open, under oath, and so should the others as well, donald trump jr. And the person anyone involved in that meeting in early june that involved apparently Jared Kushner and others. Remind us why glen simpson is significant to the investigation here. Because he compiled a dossier that implicated donald trump in the russian meddling and other potential wrong doing but also he is apparently a close associate of those who attended, includi includi including Paul Manafort. We want to make sure whether its the release of the transcript or anything else we in no way conflict with the special counsels role. He should be protected by legislation that ive offered and others, thats bipartisan. Was he a compelling witness . Did he become more interesting to you after ten hours of testimony . Every witness is going to be interesting to me. Every witness potentially has facts that are relevant to the investigation and those facts may be more interesting the more we learn. Mark . Senator, one of the issues that seems to be coming to a head are who are Glen Simpsons new customers . His firm seems to be claiming theyre not a law firm, theres some sort of attorney or client privilege here. Should the government be able to compel an Investigative Firm who its clients were . An Investigative Firm unless they are working for an attorney and somehow that kind of investigative result is an work product and certainly is unprotected. Did he refuse to say who his clients were in his temperature . I cant go into what the subject of the testimony was but my hope is there would be no objection to him testifying fully and frankly before our committee. You mentioned donald trump jr. , you want to hear him testify. Has he been cooperating with your investigation . When are you going to testify they have very Important Information about the substance of that meeting which directly implicates potentially the trump campaign. And the question is what did the president know and when did he know it. And protecting the special counsel through legislation what weve offered is more and more important. Its Bipartisan Legislation because the closer we come to those kinds of facts, the greatest the threat will be of political interference. Its always great to to you have on the show. Obviously a will the of distraction, so much attention has been turned from north korea, to that your committees investigation is going . Do you think theres still good, bipartisan cooperation . Are you confident that you all are pew suing to give Robert Mueller the time and the space and the freedom that he needs to do his job without being fired by the president of the United States or people that the president of the United States orders to fire . I am pleased so far with the bipartisan approach to the investigation and im satisfied that chairman grassley is committed to uncovering all of the truths surrounding potential obstruction of justice in the firing of jim comey and other actions and threats that the president has taken. This obstruction of justice goes directly to the oversight responsibility for the i think that the legislation weve offered to protect the special counsel against political interference has growing bipartisan support. It was introduced by myself and lindsey graham, along as with three democrats i think because of the apparent boom ranging were seeing veering and some f of. And at the end of the day, in our investigation, as well as in the special counsels investigation, i theyll become the bulwarks of our kpascy. Senator, thank you for coming in. Politico has reporting on two frent front, inside the president s increasing effort o take down jeff flake and his clashes over russia. Well have that and more reporting just ahead. Im.
