They have no policies that are any good. Theyre not good politicians, they got nothing going. Their policies stink, theyre no good. They have no ideas, they have no nothing, the democrats. Just flailing that was President Trump yesterday before kindly extending an open invitation for democrats to come to the white house to work togeth together. Its the art of the deal.

Good evening, im Chris Matthews in washington. The knowledge that american authorities were separating children from their parents was horrible enough. When word reached the country some of these children were being lost in the system, that must have been too much and the president buckled. Under mounting pressure, the president today signed an executive order to keep immigrant Families Together after theyre detained at the border. According to the Washington Post, a driving force behind trumps backflip today was first husband to stop the policy. D her the past couple of days she has increasingly made clear to the president that he should use his power tore fix the problem. But in signing todays order, the president effectively took credit for solving a problem he had personally created. What we have done today is we are keeping Families Together. Ivanka feels very strongly, my wife feels very strongly about it, i feel very strongly about it. I think anybody with a heart would feel ver
Like ive just had a little space walk out of the news for a few days because of this twonight democratic debate eclipsing everything else. I mean, its like the country barely noticed, but the president s Campaign Chairman really did just get perp walked through a courthouse to face his next set of felony charges. Which is just a remarkable thing to have happen on the day that Democratic Candidates are starting their primary to pick someone to run against President Trump. I mean, theres President Trumps Campaign Chairman in handcuffs while his deputy Campaign Chairman also awaits sentencing and his National Security adviser also awaits sentencing and his personal lawyer is in federal prison for crimes prosecutors say the president directed him to commit. I mean, its not being made into a big issue in the campaign, honestly, for better for worse, its really not, but what that means is that, you know, for us citizens here and now in our time on earth as americans we really do just have im
And Kamala Harris later in the show. But i fir but first, President Trump is drying out at his new jersey golf course, his bright i explain day salute to america literally turned gray by dark clouds and thunder, partially paid for with your tax dollars while his republican donors sat in the front row. But given the optics of tanks and trump, the speech was probably as safe as weve ever heard. Wed come together as one nation with this special salute to america. We celebrate our history, our people, and the heroes who proudly defend our flag, the brave men and women of the United States military. The president stayed on that neutral message celebrating the military on the fourth of july as one would expect. But on a day america filled itself on pie and public spirit, the president s salute tasted like soggy fascism with all the ingredients, an aspiring autocrat using a symbolic backdrop to suggest unearned standing with one of our greatest leaders, calling for a sacrifice from behind bul
Telling his attorneys first. james is accused of shooting ten people on a subway train in brooklyn earlier this month. cnn s brynn gingras is here with the latest. what areesors saying now? this is all happening in court documents. what they re saying is that the fbi went to james detainment center earlier this week and took dna swabs from him, without their knowledge, they actually allege that they only found out about this because james said to them, i signed some paperwork with the fbi this week. well, the prosecutors say that s not true. we had a search warrant, we had a judge sign off on the search warrant, that s public record, see it there for yourself. this is some sort of sparring that is going on, but the defense attorney is essentially saying, hey, we may work to try to get whatever you just collected from him thrown out, prosecutors saying slow the brakes, too early to go that route just yet because they haven t even gone to a grand jury to get the indictment in this cas
