Hi, everyone. It is 4 00 in New York. Ever heard the saying history does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes . Keep that in mind as we see natural disasters disrupting the natural churn of campaigns, and as we witness Donald Trumps response and the hurricanes that are right now putting millions of lives, american lives in danger as we come on the air. And again, the crisis where Life And Death decisions are being made and more decisions that require more than a partisan response, but one that requires trusted leadership. Donald trump continues to act like someone who has stewed in his own lies and delusions for so long, that he is incapable of telling the truth. Even when lives are on the line. Last night he claimed that there was not a single Emergency Worker on the ground helping people impacted by hurricane helene. How would you do it differently . I would have a tremendous team of people. And look, i was in North Carolina and georgia yesterday. You have very good governor and do
we ll have a live report from wilmington in moments. also former president donald trump sits for a virtual probation hearing following his felony conviction in new york. just a day after telling a rally that he supports violent criminal offenders from january 6. there has never been people treated more horrifically than j-6 hostages. those j-6 warriors, they were warriors but they were more than anything else, they re victims of what happened. and a return of four israeli hostages held for eight months by hamas. a key ally in netanyahu s war cabinet resigns. what benny gantz said about the primary s execution of war as the u.s. considers unilateral talks with hamas to bring american hostages home. something andrea asked secretary blinken about today. my top priority always is to bring americans home, the most effective way to do that, to achieve them is through the proposal on the table. so, let s see if we get an answer from hamas. good to be with you. i m kat
Conduct Foreign Policy your time is up. Its very plausible youd be elected president with a republican senate. Do you have a plan to deal with Mitch Mcconnell . I do. And spin doctors. Some of the candidates rate their own performances as they try to break out from the oversized field. Are you an imitation of Bernie Sanders . Is there room for both of you . This work is the work ive been doing pretty much all my life. Im glad that several of the people on that debate stage tonight agree with me that if we want to end family separation, then we need to go back to the way things were before and make Border Crossing a civil violation. We are not even having a serious conversation about how and why we go to war. I wanted tod make it personal. Coming up, bill de blasio joins us fresh off the debate stage. Citizenship fight. A big defeat for the Trump Administration as chief Justice John Roberts joins the liberal ring. This is a big victory for those states, primarily democratic states led b
harvard. a great student. and in so many ways, i just hate what he s saying now because we re going to miss him. joining me now is nbc white house correspondent kristen welker here with us at the ta e table, phil rutger and jim masina, and news hour political analyst mike murphy. a former senior advisor to mitt romney and john mccain. anyway, let s go to kristen welker first. this was somewhat predictable, but not entirely predictable. we knew there would be a south lawn walkout. for more than 30 minutes president trump talked and described acosta in which could only be an awkward resignation.
kamala harris and bernie sanders with south bend mayor pete buttigieg closing out the top tier. let s bring in mark murray and bring back jim masina. well, mark murray, you ve got a lot to dig through. your big take away. number one has to do with those democrats who want fundamental large scale change. they end up making up 54% of the electorate according to our poll. the people who are winning them are elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. you end up having joe biden in third place. those who want smaller scale change, joie biden is lapping te field. this has the contrast to what democratic voters want. they re divided here. another divide, or poll shows that democrats, pretty much are split on whether they want a candidate who is more aligned with them on issues or who can simply beat president trump. i tell you back in 2015, 2016, the last presidential cycle.
