Ever or desperate for juicing. does he have an appetite or is the nra giving him a tummy ache? and is going at denmark s p.m. for being nasty good for america? that is the premise of the great debate. thank you both. caleigh, we will do this one, two, three style. let s start with denmark. what is the upside to the posture of the president visa vis that ally. there is a strategic location. it is important in the event that a nuclear weapon were to take off from china or russia. the president is smart and strategic to say i am interested in this. for the prime minister to outright say it is absurd in what would be a diplomatic discussion. selling a country would be a diplomatic negotiation? did anyone make fun of harry truman for offering $100 million ....
Become clear 2 1/2 years in is that donald trump s two most dangerous allies are bill barr, the current attorney general, and mitch mcconnell, who makes into policy everything that donald trump tweets with his little thumbs. i think it s a bigger problem. right? just than what donald trump says and does. is that he s got enablers in congress. i think there s sort of this idea that senators and obviously democrats elect more senators than or nominate more senators. but i think that the senators are showing themselves as very well suited for sort of addressing some of these structural problems we have. while i understand we have a former senator sitting with us, chris matthews has now been joined by congresswoman gabbard. tulsi gabbard of hawaii. aloha. first of all, how far are you into this race? are you going to run for re-election if you don t get the nomination? i m focused on running for president. you re giving up what you ve got. i m focused on running for preside ....
What should we know about tulsi gabbard? well, i must say, she used her military experience really well on the stage and very, very effectively. and she s one of the people like bill de blasio who basically was telling america for the very first time tonight that she s running for president. i mean, let s just face it. most people had no idea who she was at the beginning of that debate. and that s true of maybe about half of the people who were on that stage. and so she had the same job that de blasio has. de blasio simply seized the microphone to try to let people know he s running for president. and she hung in there i think very solidly all the way through the debate on every issue that came her way. what are the rumors about her ties to or sympathies toward putin and russia? is that that s odd. she went to meet with assad. is it conspiraciy theories? is it investigative reporting? what is her baggage, her political baggage? well, that s one of the t ....
We are back. so much to talk about. and of course the spin room across the street from the venue where the actual debate was held, all of this to be repeated tomorrow night with even higher stakes, is teeming with everyone who s ever met a camera. anyone who s ever owned a camera. professional cameras, phones, people who have aspirational dreams of owning a camera someday. it s really unbelievable. it s changed even since your time, which was just yesterday. i would be out of a job. i mean, this used to be the work of the staffers, the spinners. you d walk around as staffers and get to talk to people like chris. now the candidates do that and they re streaming in to talk to chris matthews. of course they are. another as we speak. chris? you know, i like the sound of spin room envy. it s a wonderful feeling. let me go to one of the great ....
And it s a difficult issue for her. she has said that the reason she talked to assad is that this is a very important region in the world and she was trying to see, you know, what might be possible there. her best line of defense on that is to harken back to when barack obama said he d be willing to talk to iran, he d be willing to talk to north korea without possible preconditions. and there s always that now trump s position. yeah. so there is always that tension of talking to the evildoer in the world. that s going to follow her around. that is not a muted issue yet. steve kornacki over at the board with some observations on tonight for us. steve? yeah. i thought there was a very interesting moment early on in this debate. it was the moment that involved the two texas candidates, julian castro and beto o rourke. and i did wonder, the thought occurred to me watching that it s almost a two ships passing in the night moment that we ....
