it sounds terrible to say we re thankful we re alive when heather is gone. i just wish heather was here. i wish she was here so she could talk and be in front of you today and spread her message but we re going to do it for her. that s what she needs for you to do now. if she cared about that message, she wants to see it carried on. and you know the big political, i guess it s not really political, but this discussion that s going on about what happened president said and what he didn t say. he is expected to come out again today. does it matter to you if the president of the united states says this was white supremacists that did this down there? i don t want anything to do with them and the ranks of people who believe in me and i want to call them out as something that is hateful in this country? he needs to call out the hate in this country. but he won t because that s what he ran his platform on. he ran his platform on hate and he won t denounce white supremacy or racism beca
thicket of conflict that at the very least creates a huge perception problem and at worst, something far, far worse. but as jessica pointed out, it is actually not illegal for the president to do business even out of the oval office. it would be illegal for cabinet secretaries, other people in washington. which is where you depend on the character of the person in the office. the problem is, donald trump s not exactly in the habit of drawing a line between the personal and the profession. he s pretty blithe about the fact he could do but maybe he won t. the last president who talked that way was richard nixon, famously said if the president does it, it s not illegal. watch out, people, this is going to be a big political. the potential for conflicts of other countries is massive. it was no secret during the campaign that he had all of these business interests. it didn t hurt him then. what can they do about it now? you have republicans in the house and senate in control. the issue
you ve got to find the proper balance of believing in american values and being serious and real about keeping us safe. it s not about the blowhards out there just saying stuff. this s not a program. that s not a plan. this is serious business. and, chunlg, the big political, does any of this hurt donald trump? does it help donald trump? does it hurt or help jeb bush? look, if donald trump wants to be president of the united states he s really hurt himself. okay? this is not way to get to 50% plus 1 in this country and probably the support of majority of the republican partiment is it going to hurt him right now? probably not. this is basically the same message to preach since getting in the race. all of the problems you re feeling, let me tell you who to blame. mexicans. it is china. it s gotten no, no. more hard core. he escalates it and what s it done is you have had a
which, again, i think this is a hit to the very central narrative of who chris christie wants you to believe he is. and quite frankly, it underscores the negative that republican candidates and democratic candidates alike in 2006 will say that he s a bully. he governs the state of new jersey as a bully. anytime you ve got a scandal that hurts your central narrative and props up the central thing that people want to use against you in one fell swoop, you got a big, big political problem on your hands. of. and one of the reasons ken langone is speaking publicly in his defense is not a lot of other people are. but one of them, one of the defenders out there today is halle barber. let s listen to what he had to say. christie has sense enough to walk and chew gum at the same time. he can be an outstanding, and
very worried nurses. we re going to try to get back there today to see how that turned out. these are nervous times with anyone who has anything more than just a little cut. dr. nancy snyderman on duty in the midst of this devastation. thank you for taking time to call and your powerful testimony. here at home hillary clinton, politics, chris christie, big political names you can see highlighting the top of both parties 2016 presidential ticket or won t you. the poll showing former secretary of state with a 10 point lead over chris christie, a fictional head to head. a closer look at some other hurdles for chris christie to come. joining me chuck todd white house correspondent, political director and host of the daily rundown. chris cillizza msnbc contributor and host of tv s in play.
