simple sound bites. you're tasting a fine wine. i have multiple notes. betsy woodruff. better play 4d chess with me peter, what do you think the reading was in the saudi arabian like it is a minority report. world, tight world around the the hero's journey, trump is on royal family when they heard our president say we don't care his hero's journey right now. about human rights violations? he might have expected to have a >> i was there on the trip in crazy [bleep] like kanye west saudi in may of 2017, they were cheering. run up and support, best believe this is exactly the message saudis and other autocratic we are going to make america great. governments wanted to hear. >> i have good news. they want to hear america will we're out of time. step back from traditional role of advocating human rights and "hard ball" with chris matthews democracy around the world. we had a checkered history with is next. stoking the fires. that under other presidents, but this is the first time the president came out and said let's play "hardball." explicitly that we don't care what you do in your own borders. we do care when an american ♪ resident is killed and killed good evening, i am chris not inside saudi borders, but matthews in new york with 26 the question is how much and days to the midterms, president what will president trump do if he is not willing to suspend trump has gone on a rampage arms deals or take other today, using every weapon, hitting every target to shape sanctions. jamal khashoggi was a resident the battlefield to come, trying of virginia, resident of the

to stoke the outrage that fueled united states, much like trump's his own election two years ago, in laws were until recently. trump fired up his base in an that's the kind muof person we normally defend when that interview this morning on fox. happens overseas. delivered a wide assault not >> betsy, i'm struck as the days just on democrats but all his go, each day people seem to care enemies, the fbi, media, and more about this story. there seems to be a sense of hillary clinton. american kinship with khashoggi. for instance, attacking former fbi director james comey, he in a way, i would have been said clinton, hillary clinton, should have been hauled off the surprised going this direction. campaign trail in 2016 and thrown in jail. people feel maybe because it is >> i did a great service for "the washington post," but people are growing angrier at this country when i fired comey. what looks like a horrific he was a bad guy with bad killing of somebody that worked here. >> that's right. intentions. as time has passed, as we have you know, the democrats hated gotten more detail, seems to comey more than any human being. he actually did hillary clinton becoming increasingly clear, a big favor because she should although saudis deny this, that be in jail, they should have available evidence strongly taken her right off the indicates that he was killed and campaign. so he did her a big favor. >> that's a rant, a rampage. by shifting the debate to d dismembered. that's something that's deeply familiar terrain, the president disturbing to a wide swathe of hopes to close the enthusiasm the population, particularly in congress. one potential consequence of gap with the democrats that are

enjoying an energy drive now. this death, alleged death, we're seeing it in the latest assume it is a death, one attack on the media. trump today floated a conspiracy consequence and one thing that theory you might call it that concerns saudi and officials in last month's anonymous column washington is this could effect the united states support for could have been made up by "new york times" itself. the saudi coalition currently at war in yemen. >> the media is very, very that war is precipated arguably the single greatest humanitarian dishonest, beyond anything that crisis in the world, a third of anybody can understand. the population vulnerable to now, even the letter written to starvation, in part because the the times, there's a chance, i saudis blockaded a major port in yemen. don't say a big chance, there's a number of folks on capitol a good chance that was written hill are arguing that because of the way the saudis appear to by the times. i would like to go in there and have treated this journalist who find out who it is. lived in the united states, who it could have been the "new york worked for the americans, and times" wrote it to be honest. americans out to reconsider their support for the war the they're a very dishonest paper. saudis are fighting in yemen. one of the things i have done is >> president trump has been i have educated the public as to friendly to the saudi dishonesty of the fake news government, made his first foreign visit after the media. >> praising his allies, inauguration. according to "the washington president trump singled out post," his son-in-law jared house intelligence chairman kushner has developed an devon nunez who has effectively intimate bond with the saudi prince there. the disappearance of khashoggi outed himself as a trump toty to put that relationship under a microscope, thank god.

according to "new york times," undermine the russian investigation. he says nunez should get the kushner relayed a letter to highest civilian honor. >> these people want to get to prince muhammad, expressing the bottom of it and i don't concern for mr. khashoggi and think people like devon nunez, asking for his help. i wonder about this. he should get, if this turns out one thing that the pros in foreign policy warn you about, like everyone thinks it will, he don't assume because you have should get the medal of honor. chitchat with a foreign leader he is really, what he's gone that you have some connection with them. through, his bravery, he should the people, the ties behind get a very important medal. people like the assad family, ties behind him are entangled, maybe call it the medal of real. you're not just chatting with freedom, we give them. somebody you met on a bus, they're high awards for you're chatting with someone civilians. he has done amazing. with all of these family and >> joining me, sues san page an political ties back home. mike murphy. if somebody becomes a threat to selena maxwell, director of saudi arabia, that buddy of yours on the phone will act in the interest of the people progressive programming for sirius, xm. around him who control him and maybe you're the youngest here. not in the interest of his this isn't the way we live. friendship with you. your thoughts? this is rampage ranting, >> that's right. the saudis have been a attacking everyone. it is stream of consciousness. problematic partner for the any name comes to his mind that united states going back before this president. bothers him at all accuses of this president tried to solidify the worst, they should be in bonds. but this is a problem going back jail and anybody that likes him

for years. there are two sides to the saudi like kanye west should get the story. there's the side we see here in civilian highest award in washington and in european history. it is like an 8-year-old capitals, sophisticated, modern talking. >> yes. and i am the youngest person here, i think, but i am old seemingly liberal minded saudis who pay money to firms here to enough to know what's normal and what is not. what's happening now is burnish their image, and then absolutely abnormal. the reality on the ground there in some ways normalizing trump. until recently women weren't even allowed to drive, even to the rhetoric, exaggerations, this day the hard line version lies every single day, we get of islam is the dominant force exhausted from it, chris, and in that society where in fact get to the point we don't get as terrorism money has been found outraged as we should be when he there for many years. is saying hillary clinton should have been taken off the campaign this is something we struggled trail and put into jail, for with a long time. president trump is confronted what crime? for what crime, chris? with it in a way his >> he doesn't think he needs predecessors had. we'll see how he handles it. one. having her own server. >> she's going to go to jail for >> sometimes we treat foreigners as foreign, in this case as people more familiar to us than a server. >> and put dianne feinstein in they are. they seem more like us, but they're not. peter baker, thank you. for leaking. >> they started out being about hillary clinton. now they're just about any -- >> who is the audience? betsy woodruff. hurricane michael's deadly who is listening to this and impact. we look at the politics of that

situation, including the break saying that's pretty smart. with long-standing tradition, he has something going. >> clearly people at his rallies refusing to stop the negative and listen to alex jones, watch advertising on tv during what we fox news on a loop. are watching. those folks in the base. that was happening at the same but i think there's an time negative "the ed show" wad underbelly and mi ssogyny when on the television. this is "hardball." says lock her up to say that i'm ray and i quit smoking with chantix. about any woman, insert the i tried to quit smoking for years on my own. name, saying they should be i couldn't do it. i needed help. incarcerated. for me, >> mike murphy, that he had a chantix worked. hand in killing jack kennedy, it did. chantix, along with support, now he is campaigning. helps you quit smoking. chantix, without a doubt, does anything he say mean anything to anybody? reduced my urge to smoke. what's he saying when he says when you try to quit smoking, things like "new york times" with or without chantix, made up the op-ed, like a you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. newspaper that openly admits its some people had changes in behavior or thinking, mistakes day after day on the aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, corrections page, admits or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. mistakes, would lie about something like who wrote a serious side effects may include seizures, column and say we drafted that new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, ourselves in the back room. he wants to go into "new york sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions times." he wants to go into the paper which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away and look around and find this if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression

person that wrote this op-ed. or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. >> there's no fact standard. use caution when driving or operating machinery. none of the standards were used the most common side effect is nausea. to an american president. what we have here is two things i don't think about cigarettes anymore. going on. talk to your doctor about chantix. these rallies are not really about the campaign, they're not about swing voters in the state, doing something to hold a congressional seat, they're just therapy for the president, and it is the same thing when he calls into a friendly show on fox news. his own way to relax and unload this stuff. i guess the only good thing you can say, he is the most unfiltered president we ever had. the problem is we look through the filter and see somebody that lies all the the time, is in an alternate reality and acts a i don't think about cigarettes anymore. little, well, crazy. he does the drunk uncle at the if your moderate to severeor crohn's symptoms wedding toast in speech or are holding you back, and your current treatment hasn't worked well enough interview. i think the only other ray of some light in this is he doesn't believe any of it either. it may be time for a change. but he doesn't understand what a president says is very

ask your doctor about entyvio®, important. he just does this stuff where he the only biologic developed and approved throws out things to voters he's just for uc and crohn's. already got, alienating ones he entyvio® works at the site of inflammation in the gi tract, needs and makes himself feel and is clinically proven to help many good. it is bizarre. patients achieve both symptom relief and remission. >> there's a taste of mussolini with a guy walking around with a infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen tie 8 feet long, clapping for during or after treatment. himself. entyvio® may increase risk of infection, the chinese do this, you clap for yourself in that culture. which can be serious. pml, a rare, serious, potentially fatal brain he is clapping away. is he applauding himself and his infection caused by a virus may be possible. presentation here? tell your doctor if you have an infection susan. you're the cold minded absolute experience frequent infections straight journalist in the room or have flu-like symptoms, or sores. here. what are we looking at here liver problems can occur with entyvio®. objectively? >> i think we're looking at the if your uc or crohn's treatment isn't working for you, 2020 re-election campaign. ask your gastroenterologist i think that's what the rallies are about. about entyvio®. i think that's the message of entyvio®. the rallies. relief and remission i think that's the reason for within reach. the location of the rallies. why is he going to places like pennsylvania, because he will need pennsylvania in the re-election battle. i think he is testing how to come out against a republican party. you see him testing lines against particular republican presidential contenders.

i think it is less about the vote on november 6th and more about the vote on november 2020. >> people like pocahontas, that line, i think will carry awhile, may last through the election because senator warren hasn't come back with a rebuke yet except it is racist which is an argument, but i don't think that will sell with his potential voters. nbc news reports that trump's lawyers are preparing answers to questions submitted by robert mueller's people, according to a source familiar with the matter. there's still no agreement for the president to be questioned in person. however, trump told fox today, you never know what this means, i'll do wlafr hatever is necess. that means whatever his lawyers agree to. >> have you thought again about sitting down for an interview or write written questions or hybrid approach there? welcome back to "hardball." >> it seems ridiculous that i'd with 26 days to the midterm elections, tonight we look at have to do it. florida.

when everybody says there's no a state with two nationally collusion. i'll do what's necessary. watched midterm elections coming >> what do you make of that? up, including one of the it has so many millions of traps "hardball" ten senate races. in that. campaigning has been temporarily i'll do wlahatever my lawyers s put on pause as the state to avoid a subpoena, even to recovers from -- look at the devastation left by hurricane honor subpoena now that i have michael. the "hardball" senate race five people to the supreme there, bill nelson is locked in court. a tight race with outgoing may not have to do anything. >> that's what the whole fight governor rick scott. was about, chris. it was avoiding consequences real clear politics average that could be down the road for shows nelson with a 2.5 point him at the end of the investigation. >> you mean having a packed edge. close. probably 3 if you average it supreme court. >> justice kavanaugh there as a back stop. out. we are watching the governor's >> says presidents have enormous power beyond our imagination. >> correct. race where gillum is taking on that's problematic on one hand. ron desantis. on the other hand, he basically answers by saying yes, no, maybe they are basically four points when you talk about whether or not he is going to sit down with apart. robert mueller. even as hurricane michael bore we know he is probably not going down on the state, negative ad to do it because he can't tell war never stopped. the truth. >> they tape those interviews. break with tradition in that it is called perjury. state. >> he cannot tell the truth. republican party of florida kept i think he is scared of the an anti-gillum ad on the air russian investigation because it doesn't just have one tenant. yesterday. joint by mark caputo, senior now we're in southern district

of new york, you have michael writer for politico. cohen cooperating on the trump i am going to turn it over to administration and foundation. you. what is the talk from democrats you have his accountant cooperating. and progressives, hopeful the you have the accountant, the strong showing by the lawyer, you need one more person gubernatorial candidate, mayor and you have the perfect set up of tallahassee gillum will drag for a joke. not a good one for donald trump. back nelson to victory. >> my set up was to set up this tell me why people keep saying is shaping the battlefield. that. >> because democrats for the first time are excited about the candidate for governor. he is now basically saying i we haven't seen either on the democratic side or republican will fight anybody in the house for a dollar. side this much enthusiasm in a he wants to fighter i can governor's race for a candidate holder, gary cohn. in the 20 years i covered why does he get up with so many politics in florida. on the enemies list, he begins to sound a little crazy having gillum brought a lot of flash, a that many enemies he wants to lot of excitement, a lot of duke it out with now. enthusiasm which again is kind >> well, i think he might be a of unprecedented. little crazy. he is campaigning in areas where i think it is a mistake to apply democrats traditionally haven't a lot of strategic insight to drawn big crowds and he has president trump. drawn big crowds. he reacts with instinct. these aren't presidential campaign style crowds but it is noteworthy. there's enthusiasm on the democratic side i haven't seen he is angry, goes to a safe in years. >> i only talked to him a couple of times on the phone. place and vents about them or what's striking, no bs.

twitter i should say, too. i'm not sure there's a method to you can talk turkey to the guy. the madness. doesn't put on frills or i think it is a lot of madness rhetoric or whatever. to the madness. he just talks to you. and he, again, is the most is that the appeal, the regularness of the guy or what? transparent president we had >> when you talk to people about because he emotes what he is gillum, what they cite most is thinking. >> as long as he can win the minute, as long as he can be likeability. he is affable. firing every direction any second we live on the planet one thing that desantis is together with him, as long as he can do that, keep shooting and encountering, he is not known as shooting, pocahontas, liar this, a like and, warm guy. whatever this, as long as he keeps shooting every direction, can anybody beat him? >> has florida shown any is there anybody can stand up to liberalism or tolerance on him, that crossfire craziness he ethnic issues, like electing an is able to explode in every african-american to anything? minute he is in combat? i am not knocking florida. i'm from pennsylvania. mike murphy. they haven't done it either, >> i think he's done. ohio, a lot of states have a i mean, he's got this -- give hard time giving a chance, let's him credit, he has this mind be honest about it, open chance to an african-american candidate for senate or governor, the big jobs. twist. nate silver said he would lose >> florida did elect barack and won. his numbers are terrible. obama twice, and elected the special elections have gone

president trump. badly. midterms look dim and he only we are not blue, purple, red, we operates in the demographic cul-de-sac of the republican are a schizophrenic state. primary where he is declining and will more if we lose on election day midterms. i think that his card trick will wear out and the dem og rai am s now, andrew gillum embodies more the nominee or run in 2020. of the typical african-american i think we have a lot of things experience that you see in we learn after the one event florida. he was born in a relatively poor that counts in politics, election day coming quickly now. or not rich area of miami. >> "the washington post" reporting yesterday he had spoken to jeff sessions' chief pardon me. and raised in gainesville in of staff about replacing his kind of a small town. he went to school at a boss as attorney general. traditionally black college, trump wouldn't say what he plans to do about sessions, it fmu. so this is going to be a test on provoked a rant today again whether that theory that florida about russia and the or many big states is not ready investigation is bothering him. to elect a black man is true or not because here he is, leading >> i never talk about that but i in polls and there's a lot of can tell you matt whitaker is a excitement for him across the great guy. i never talk about conversations i had. board. >> it is the regular

"the washington post" gets it wrong a lot. african-american experience. >> he wasn't raised in hawaii. >> but the conversation is that you are in active talks to replace the attorney general of didn't go to harvard. the united states. >> i'm not doing anything. >> exotic in many ways. i want to get the elections over let me ask you about the with. we'll see what happens. i'm very disappointed we go executive thing, presidents like through this witch hunt, this to show their stuff in a war, ridiculous witch hunt. there's no collusion. but they can show leadership there's collusion with hillary clinton and the russians but no ability in a war, can't do it in peace time. collusion with the republicans when there's a natural disaster and there's certainly no like we have now this week from collusion with donald trump. and everyone knows it. hurricane michael how will rick >> that's some fortunate scott use that, how will mayor information from the president. today, "the wall street journal" gillum use that to show their reports that president trump is considering as many as five stuff? >> they're both doing an candidates as a new ag on the effective job. rick scott has a bigger bully assumption jeff sessions will pulpit and has been through this leave later this year. before. susan, what's the reporting on after hurricane irma in 2017, that. seems like he wants to clear the his net favorability rating rose deck in some saturday night 8 percentage points. since then, poll numbers are higher than they were in massacre come fall. he gets rid of the ag, then previous seven years or so. there is a built in advantage of what? >> that has a lot of steps in being the commander in chief, it. start with step one which is i being a leader in time of

think it is unlikely jeff crisis, being able to sessions is still the attorney communicate to people in a way general a month after election that rises above politics. day. he has been trying to hold on if you wind up on the weather channel telling people how to until after that, but his answer take cover and to be safe and that you just played was not very reassuring for any job not run generators indoors, security for jeff sessions saying i don't want to talk assure them help is on the way, about that. let's get through the election. that speaks to people in a v what happens after that i don't know because the president has some challenges when it comes to visceral level. saw it with george bush during getting another nomination, for the campaign for president or instance, confirmed through the re-election when his poll senate, even if it is a numbers rose amid four hurricanes damaging florida. republican senate. and it is clear that he is quite andrew gillum has been bashed by his republican opponent for his concerned about a russian investigation that seems to be managing of the hurricane in coming to conclusion. the fact that mueller is talking 2016, but we have seen since then if he did make any mistakes to his lawyers so seriously whether he will testify or not on a pr level, he certainly is a sign that mueller is corrected them in a large getting close to the end of that part of the investigation. number. quite a bit. i am hesitant to say anything >> he is threatening to knock off sessions. will make one difference in a but what about rosenstein, his race in florida. we have razor thin election deputy? margins at the top of the seems he is giving him a warm hand now. who is playing who. ticket. but because we have such close is rosenstein playing the elections, everything matters. president to keep the job or the

yes, the hurricane matters, both president keeping him calm before he executes him at some point politically, gets rid of him? >> i think they have become -- i for rick scott and gillum. think that situation calmed down and rod rosenstein seems to be >> if the governor wins it is because of the baseball cap that in better favor after the moment says navy. thank you so much. when we were all sure he was these things matter. thank you for coming out tonight. up next, not every day going to the white house to president trump is rendered resign. that has been perplexing. in some ways, maybe the brett speechless. notice his desk is empty. today rapper, entrepreneur kanye kavanaugh story overtook that west was invited to the oval rod rosenstein story, gave a office where he delivered a cooling off period that rambling ten minute speech on preserved his job. everything from air force one to >> bottom line, the president has to get rid of these people or face hell. hats. that's right. to mental health and something thank you. called male energy. coming up, new details about you're watching "hardball." billions of mouths. disappearance of a "the washington post" contributor and saudi dissident that walked into a saudi consulate in istanbul and never came out. and hurricane michael left a path of destruction in florida. how will it effect the state of play in the senate and gubernatorial races. storms almost always help the person in charge. this happened at the white house today. watch this.
