trump.n the 1950's, trump lived in a trump's-owned -- woody guthrie trump-owned building in brooklyn. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman with nermeen shaikh. "the new york times" expose, the reporters referenced several reporters who did groundbreaking work on trump's finances. one of them was the late wayne barrett who wrote the book "trump: the deals and the downfall." he appeared on [captioning made possible by democracy now!] in 2016 and said fred trump's financial support of donald trump was "unbelievably crucial in donald's rise to prominence. >> be opened his first office in manhattan, the rent was paid by his father's company out here on avenue the and brooklyn. everything that he did, whether be the grand hyatt, for example, to get the financing, he got the financing from two banks that his father had used, used his father's relationship banker. and the father had to sign the financing agreements. they're not going to get a 30 million

he's been insulted by trump. he's, he's decided that that's it. >> narrator: in the west wing, all hell broke loose. >> don mcgahn, the legal counsel, bursts into reince priebus' office and says, "we've got trouble. not only do we have a special counsel appointed, but jeff sessions has just resigned." priebus says, "you're kidding me." heiebus goes running down the staircase intoest wing parking lot. >> finds sessions in his car preparing to lea, and he bangs on the door. "you got to come out. you got to come back in. you can't leave this w you can't just blow up like this." and priebus essentially almost has to drag him back up into the west wing, where vice president pence and steve bannon then come in and joinpr bus and talk sessions off the ledge. >> it's clear that the mueller ininvestigation is just ge started. we're going to head to washington, where the e house... >> narrator: across town, in an undisclosed secure location, the new special counsel, robert s. mueller iii, was just getting started. >> wheyo

>> trump: okay. that's just a figure of speech. >> stahl: just like-- no, it's like an embrace. >> trump: it-- well, let it be an embrace. let it be whatever it is to get the job done. >> stahl: yeah, but he's a bad guy. >> trump: look. let it be whatever it is. i get along with him really well. i have a good energy with him. i have a good chemistry with him. look at the horrible threats that were made. no more threats. no more threats. >> stahl: china. >> trump: i get along with him. it's very important. china, let's go. >> stahl: i'm skipping across the world here. you've slapped a lot of tariffs on them-- >> trump: $250 billion. >> stahl: going to do more? >> trump: might. might. >> stahl: round three? >> trump: they want to negotiate, lesley. they want to negotiate. >> stahl: are you ready? >> trump: look. >> stahl: are you ready to-- >> trump: i have a great chemistry also with president xi of china. i don't know that that's necessarily going to continue. i told president xi, we cannot continue

because he worked for donald trump, even though he said should trump run was independent of donald trump. >> there 2011, they ruled in cohen's favor, a win, another way of proving his loyalty. >> the way he initially described it to me was a father-son relationship, and when i asked him, why he has blind loyalty, he always threw the question back to me, would you do this for your father? >> at the end of the day, only people donald trump really considered family, anyone who considers themself to be almost a trump family member should really think about it. >> he fought for his boss by aggressively attacking donald trump's enemies, real or perceived. >> a war of words between a beauty queen and organizers of the miss usa pageant. rigged. just after the 2012 miss usa pageant, they claimed finalists were predetermined. >> i want the truth to be made known. >> he spoke with cohen's about his daughter's claims, and he said cohen is belligerent. >> it's absolutely terrifying to get you on the phone and intimidate you, but part of what a lawyer in that position is supposed to do is intimidating

trump and how much money fred trump had given donald trump, there's just so much more than anybody thought. and then as we started to look at the money, then we realized all these tax schemes were behind it. just this incredible reporting journey of one revelation after another. sometimes you do these projects and you spend weeks where you're sort of thinking, we're at the end of the road. we never, ever had two or three days where we thought okay, we're running out here. we had so many roads to go down, and there is even more left. like, it was just an incredible, just discovery, and once we got these documents, it just opened up. it was an alice in wonderland moment for us where we were just like, wow. >> and going at it through that route that you're describing with the fred trump empire and the surprises and donald trump's finances around the timing of that sale and stuff, clearly that led you to public facing documents that were -- you could get to through the fred trump business empire. >> well, the great thing about real estate is public documents. this is where we started, and then

and three times visited the elder trump at trump tower.n one visit not long before donald trump declared his candidacy. goldstone says trump was there listening to a rap song. he said look 90 million views, a rapper called mac miller who recently passed away has recorded a song. had 90 million youtube views and it's about me. >> and i said to him, maybe do you think you should listen to the words and what they're saying about you perhaps? just an idea. ♪ all this money, ain't that [ bleep ] ♪ >> and he went it doesn't matter, 90 million views. the third time we went he said to emin, maybe next time i see you i'll be hosting you at the white house. >> before there was trump in the white house, there was trump the candidate. and the next time goldstone set foot in trump tower would be when he arrived for the meeting. coming up -- >> i get a phone call and he said to me initially, i'd like you to set up a meeting with the trumps. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase relieves y

and three times visited the elder trump at trump tower.ng before donald trump declared his candidacy. goldstone says trump was there listening to a rap song. he said look 90 million views, a rapper called mac miller who recently passed away has recorded a song. had 90 million youtube views and it's about me. >> and i said to him, maybe do you think you should listen to the words and what they're saying about you perhaps? just an idea. ♪ all this money, ain't that [ bleep ] ♪ >> and he went it doesn't matter, 90 million views. the third time we went he said to emin, maybe next time i see you i'll be hosting you at the white house. >> before there was trump in the white house, there was trump the candidate. and the next time goldstone set foot in trump tower would be when he arrived for the meeting. coming up -- >> i get a phone call and he said to me initially, i'd like you to set up a meeting with the trumps. better. actually, it's bulkier. always discreet doesn't need all that bulk to protect. because it's made differently. the super abso

trump: nice man. casualties of the democrats open border crusade are really a lot and far more than anyone would know of innocent american families and lives. democrat immigration policies allow poisonous drugs and ms 13 killers to pour into our country. these are not people that you don't want to have ice around. ice goes into the nests like it is a day in the office. even tough guys here, you don't want to do it. she has done it, she said. if you did it, you didn't do it by choice. she said, no i didn't. what is this story all about? come on up your -- no, i'm kidding. sanctuary cities and this is what happens, they release violent predators out of jail and straight into your communities, and then they are protected. they are protected people. a democrat victory in november would be a bright, flashing invitation to every human trafficker, drug trafficker -- think of it. human trafficking is the highest it has ever been in the history of this world. that is because of the internet. you wouldn't think

if donald trump, jr.nd jared kushner took this meeting innocently and ignorantly and sort of stepped into -- you know, it's possible. but mr. manafort, he would have clearly known what the russians were up to. >> two nights before the meeting on june 7th, trump greeted supporters with what now sounds like a curious promise. >> we're going to be discussing all the things that have taken place with the clintons. i think you're going to find it very informative and very, very interesting. >> we just don't know if the speech donald trump made was a coincidence or not. and so the timing seems awfully strange. >> for all the attention the trump tower meeting would later get, goldstone says at the time he hardly gave it a second thought. >> i didn't care about a meeting. it sounds bad, but it's true. i didn't care. i wanted my client to be happy. that's always my ultimate goal. >>> coming up -- >> so tell us what happened. was the dirt on the democratic party and hillary clinton forthcoming? n the democratic par

trump. they say the attention today should be focused on the victims of saturday's anti semitic massacre. there are those who want president trump to be there. this all comes as the first funerals are being held today. among those being laid to rest, brothers david and cecil rosenthal and dr. jerry rabinowitz. we're on the ground in pittsburgh where apparently a protest has sprung up. miguel, how are the pittsburghers you're talking to -- how do they feel about the president's visit? >> reporter: look, jake, i have not seen a person with a dry eye in this neighborhood all day. people walking their dogs, moving around the neighborhood, and now this. that sadness, that absolute shock at what has happened has turned into anger with news of the president's visit. there are several hundred people here at this protest getting ready to march, just as the president is expected to land in pittsburgh and move around the city. there is a second protest in the neighborhood. president donald trump in thi

president trump, including an inflatable trump baby blimp - and if the british disliked trump beforeish protocol by publicly disclosing the details of a conversation he had with queen elizabeth. - he broke royal protocol by walking in front of the queen, but she quickly stepped forward to correct the error. - he also today had tea with the queen. he did keep her waiting for ten minutes. - video recorded the very punctual 92-year-old queen checking her watch prior to the president's arrival. - good lord. is there--is there any rule he didn't break? he's like, "president trump in hot water after pushing the queen into the royal swimming pool." for more on trump's u.k. visit, we're joined by an actual british person, gina yashere, everybody. [cheers and applause] gina, in the u.s.-- in the u.s., trump's u.k. visit seemed to not go so well, but as a british person, what do you think? - it was an unmitigated disaster, trevor. this cockwomble--yeah, that's what i called him-- he came--came to our country and insulted us. i mean, look what he did to our queen. he's cutting her off like he's

trump hired him. >> the family and the trump organization and his father, fred trump, had been accused of racism in their housing practices. >> trump's regular lawyers, the ordinary kinds of lawyers, tell him, "settle it. just move on, do the right thing." and he asks roy cohn about it. and roy cohn says, "don't settle it. fight, fight, fight. you t to fight." and that becomes kind of his early credo and his approach, which is, "even if you're in the wrong, fight." >> we expect to be successful io urt. we're not doing this for y y other reason. >> narrator: theuntersued the u.s. government for $100 million. in court filings, cohn comred the department of justice to the nazis, alleging "gestapo-like" tactics. >> in a pattern we can recognize from trump's behavior to this day, attacking the accusers, attacking, indeed, thece department, as a way to sort of throw a smokescreen around the original crime. >> narrator: cohn's suit against the justice department was thrown out, trump forced t settle. they had lost. but in t press, trump and cohn declared victory. >> it was justike it didn't m

trump. right? and the irony is that story really comes from for a lot of voters what they learned about the president on "the apprentice" which is actually sort of -- it is reality television, and it's quite fictitious. so now you have actual reality bumping up with the fiction of reality tv. and so that is huge and cannot be overstated. at the same time, again, what we'll have to wait and see, this literally just broke, one thing that struck me especially about the president's core group of supporters, the president has often been able to say to things like making products overseas that otherwise would be unacceptab unacceptable, wouldn't you have done the same thing? wouldn't you, too, have avoid e taxes if you could? that's smart business. we don't know what his response will be. on one hand, you're right, it total he undercuts the myth of president trump, dealmaker, the businessman. on the other hand, it will be interesting to see if the president can find a way to talk his way out of th

listen, he defended trump, lied for trump, engaged in unethical business practice for trump and only light because federal prosecutors were knocking on his door. of course, he should not go on the campaign trail. but the real problem for trump is that he has engaged in unseemly behavior. we know that. he never set up any fire walls between his business, his campaign and his family. that's where michael cohen comes into play. that's where paul manafort comes mayo play, that's where people in the trump organization come into play. so mueller may release the findings on his report on collusion and obstruction of justice, but those court cases can unfurl much further than that. >> ai think collusion is going o be very big. >> you think they're going to find conspiracy. >> yeah, and obstruction. i don't know if it's enough to convict. trump got all alarmed this week, the witch hunt stuff and all of this. and that was after a story appeared that cohen spent 50 hours with justice people. trump accuses cohen of lying, right? >> he did lie for trump a lot. >> wait a second. but the lie he's a

president trump: yes. because our justice department and fbi played right into their hands with the stupid investigation or whatever you call it. people say i'm not under investigation. i'm not a target of this investigation which nobody likes to say. but it played into their hand. if they want to sow chaos. they got it for nothing. we did it to ourselves. the chaos, the stupid chaos. it hasn't been talked about for a long time because people don't believe it. who is going to believe i call russia to give me help. and everyone does say, richard bird, they asked him, he's the head of the senate intelligence. they asked, did you see collusion in he says no, i didn't see collusion. but he said there was no collusion. as you know, the house, devin nunes, they came out with a ruling there was no collusion. but richard bird, they asked during the bloods in north and south carolina. they said what about this committee? he said we have found no collusion. trish: collusion aside. the concern is putin and the folks

trump of

trump: right. ms. chinn: and the work that you've done with secretary perdue to get many out into our rural communities, we really appreciate the reverse-path auction through the fcc. missouri was awarded $254 million of that. it's going to connect 95,000 homes to high-speed internet. and we just really appreciate it. missourians appreciate what you're doing on their behalf to make their rural communities vibrant again, and to help the agriculture industry pass on to that next generation of farmers and ranchers. pres. trump: great. well, it's my honor. and you have a great race going on out there. ms. chinn: we do. pres. trump: and that will make a big difference. a very positive difference, the outcome. i won't say it because i'm not a political person, so i won't discuss that. [laughter] i won't discuss that in front of the press, okay? go ahead. how about yourself? ms. cundiff: that's funny. so missouri is well represented here. again, i'm from st. charles, missouri, representing the community banki

organization under fred trump and then under donald trump.o i mean one of the things i think, you know, we tried quite deliberately to do in our presentation of this story, again, is to make available to readers, you know, the actual documents so that if people are wondering whether this is somehow all made up, well, they can look at the documents for themselves. >> david barstow writing together with susan craig and russ buten. this is a very lengthy article in "the new york times." david, thank you so much for joining us. >> my pleasure. >>> let's get some white house reaction to the breaking news. our senior white house correspondent jeff zell any eny joining us now. what are you hearing? >> reporter: wolf, good evening. president trump has landed in nearby memphis just a short time ago, and according to pool reporters on air force one the president or his advisers did not come back and discuss any of this. of course, the president knew this story was coming. "the new york times" gave him a week if not longer to respond to it. this evening

we know donald trump now admits to dictating a false statement about that meeting to donald trump jr.e know that after he was told that russia was interfering in the election in mid-august 2016, he still went out and lied and said, it's a hoax, there's no reason to believe this. so you can't take anything they say. it sounds hyperbolic but you can't say anything they say at face value because they have this long history, present and in the past, of lying and doing things that are either fraudulent, and as the "times" put it, outright criminal. >> so what you're digging into is what the past tells us about what they may be reaping or what's coming. you wanted a line, i'll give you injury garcia. if you plant ice, you're going to harvest wind. >> okay, i'll give you a box of rain for that. >> phil lesh, right? >> that's the grateful dead too. >> phil lesh grateful dead, he didn't have any songs. interesting that you're a phil lesh fan. >> celebrate with a bottle of ripple. >> wow. >> there's a lot we can trade back. >> we'll call katy tur, do a full grateful dead reunion -- >> no, no, n

only one thing, letting donald trump and men like donald trump get away with everything.s is former deputy assistant attorney general elliot williams. elliot, we can put back up that ad. this says bring back the death penalty. bring back our police just to show that donald trump is consistent over time. he hasn't changed at all. he made a statement way late. fast forward to october of 2016. this was donald trump's statement about the central park five. this is him as a presidential candidate. they admitted they were guilty. the fact that the case was settled with so much evidence against them was outrageous. that is donald trump still saying the central park five were still guilty. so donald trump and due process really haven't met. >> i know exonerated. but i think they got a $41 million settlement. so the courts have blessed their position on this. so there are all kinds of inconsistencies with how the president of united states treats due process and people's entitlement of due process. immigration, the entire immigration policy of this administration has been about re

there are tax returns of trump companies, trump partnerships, trump trusts.'s estate tax returns is in the building right now. it's incredible that we have it. and that opened a door to understanding a huge transfer of wealth that happened and gave us so much more information to be able to understand the tax games that were played. and then once you sort of pull this string, the whole thing unraveled. >> a look there at showtime's new documentary that follows the team of "new york times" investigative reporters as they uncovered the information that led to the exclusive report about trump's taxes. the film debuts this sunday night and we're going to have much more from the explosive report straight ahead. but, joe, you have something else on your mind right now, apparently. >> i do this morning. willie, we've been ripped off again. >> what? no, you haven't. >> how many times have people taken our experiments and used them to win nobel prizes. >> did they do it again this year? >> they did it again this year. >> come on. >> professors claiming they discovered

and he was donald trump really before donald trump.d on illegal immigration as an issue and took it national really. and he was one of the first to endorse trump. the question will be whether trump's coattails are long enough to pull him over in the senate race against bob casey. it looks like they're not at the moment. >> when you talk to trump voters for your book and i guess it was several months ago you were last able to check in with them for the book. of the 12 in your focus group only one trump voter was in doubt about donald trump at this point. >> right. i checked in with them much more recently even after the book closed, i've been in touch with them informally. and that number still holds. of the 12 i profiled, 11 say that if the election were to be held -- the 2020 election were to be held tomorrow they would enthusiastically vote for trump. only one has slipped into the undecided, as you mentioned. i guess the question becomes both for the midterms and 2020 is what is the ceiling on trump's base. >> is it a ceiling? and if

>> donald trump had two choices. either he comes out and says, yes, i had the affair, yes, i directed the payment, or he calls michael cohen a liar. those are really the only two choices. >> it sounds pretty clear. >> it's pretty clear, because michael cohen is either telling the truth or he's not. i don't know if donald trump had much of a choice. the whole saga here starts with, in january, michael cohen saying, "didn't happen." by february he's saying "wasn't illegal." then by april trump is saying, "i didn't make any payments. you have to talk to my personal lawyer michael cohen." by may you have giuliani on his first day on the job actually i am reply -- implicating the personal finance plan saying it wasn't legal. the whole story is muddled from beginning to end. michael cohen doesn't come out looking like the most credible person. nor does donald trump, but there is so much evidence that michael cohen was a fixer for donald trump and so many accusations related to playoffs, including that recording, if you rem

not an attack on trump. i think trump is right in a thematic sense. but you wouldn't elect trump unless you really really wanted to send the message. happy countries don't elect donald trump. the messages, the people in charge on both sides screwed up. >> sunday night at 8:00 eastern on c-span's q&a. c-span studentcam video competition is in full swing. this year's question is, what does it mean to be american? students and teachers from around the country have taken to social media, boasting about their entries. this teacher tweeted, with cakeg federalism in ap government as we work on our c-span studentcam documentary. centralthanks to our middle school, showcasing their studentcam project. this high school teacher tweeted, civic students kicking off their final project. answering the question, what does it mean to be an american? harrisburg academy teacher tweeting, g-7 students on an outing thursday morning. they were able to get pictures for their c-span classroom studentcam documentary. year, we are asking middle and high school students to prod

does this make people decide to support trump, not to support trump? i'm skeptical. i've gotten very skeptical that pretty much anything can do that. >> you know what? on some level, move the needle or not, it doesn't matter. the truth coming out in this exhaustive reporting is important enough. rob, how much work did it take, would it take to avoid taxes like this, to engage in these tax schemes? laid out in here, that are confusing to the layman. >> well, first off, you're talking about schemes. a lot of this is just standard tax planning for people with high net worth. >> yeah. >> and some of the things that happened that are perfectly legal under estate tax look awfully weird to people that weren't tax lawyers. and you're seeing that with some of the trusts and some of the valuations that are mentioned in the piece. there's definitely a lot of work, a lot of lawyers, accountants, valuation experts that, you know, worked on this. and the irs audited from what i understand. >> yeah. there is that element of it. harry, i want to look at the numbers again because the

nor does donald trump. but there's so much evidence that michael cohen was a fixer for donald trump and so many accusations around payoffs related to donald trump including that tape recording if you remember about karen mcdougal. >> that lanny davis played. >> that lanny davis played. certainly there's a lot of indication that this was the relationship between donald trump and michael cohen. what stands up in court is a different story, but we know michael cohen has been talking to investigators. >> as a former fed you know what you feds can do to people. eli stokols, can trump distance himself any more from cohen? has obviously just decided he's going to weaponize this witness. >> yeah, he's decided this is the response to all of the investigations, to fight these legal battles in the court of public opinion and to just trash everybody who is coming after him, and now that includes michael cohen. as maya said, the credibility of both these guys is not that great, but if you just take what the president sa

donald trump sending michael cohen over to try to start a trump tower in russia. it's been an obsession with donald trump. getting russian money has been an obsession with donald trump since the 1980s when he was suckered into shaking the hands of a mikhail gorbachev impersonator. he's made a fool of himself time and time again. now saudi arabia. bragging. in 2015 to everybody wearing those caps that kanye west is wearing now that he makes $40 million, $50 million from the saudis. he loves the saudis. >> of course. >> it's all about money and it's not about american money. it's not about american jobs. it's not about helping out heartland america, helping them pay their bills, having enough money to send their kids to college. it's about donald trump and his billionaire family. >> his money. >> and how much money they can siphon from other countries. so he's willing to let a washington post journalist get killed and hacked up because he wants to make more money personally from the saudis. welcome to donald trump's america. >> yeah. the line that stays with me is h

trump, trump's been a white nationalist from the beginning. the fact that he just announced it to the world or a huge rally is just indicative of how much his appeal has really shrunk in the two years that he's been in office. he was able to dance around the margins for a long time by claiming, well, you know, i'm a progressive, or i'm this or that. he danced around it. but now he knows, my core constituency, the only future this presidency has, is to be an explicit white nationalist and say, it is us, this small 26% of the u.s. population that wanted him against everybody else in america who actually wants a fundamental future that we can all benefit from. i'm happy that he's being this honest because i think this is the beginning of the end of him having any sort of appeal outside of the maniacs who want to listen to him in that room. >> i think we can all agree donald trump is the most ignorant president in history, but today he used ignorance as a defense in an answer to a question. and for the first time, i actually have doubts about whet

although the trump organization vowed not to pursue new foreign ventures while trump is in office. there's wide overlap between his business interests and the international relationships he must navigate as president. a chinese government owned bank runs a twentieth floor of trump tower in new york city at a trump property adjacent to the un saudi arabia and india own apartments. the new unit there is this year. from post foreign dignitaries at mar-a lago his private club where membership rates doubled after his election his companies have been granted approval for trademarks in china even as the president negotiated trade policy with its leader so far i have got nothing absolutely nothing but the potential conflicts of interest are many and they've raised charges that trump is violating the us constitution and the new. charges are laid out in several lawsuits one of which is now focused on the trumpeted national we decided last year because it was a violation of this country's oldest anti-corruption law and that is the emoluments clauses both foreign and domestic. we would like a

they bought an entire floor of trump world. the trump world plaza. for their mission at the united nations. more recently, they have been patronizing the hotels. and all of this reflects back on this issue that still dogs the trump administration, are they making good public policy, or are they doing things that pad their wallets? and that raises of course the specter of jared kushner, who has been trump's lead ambassador, essentially, to the middle east, and especially to saudi arabia. there has been speculation as to whether the people who were put in the hotel and imprisoned by the crown prince, if he got those names from u.s. intelligence sources that jared kushner passed along to him. what was kushner's goal in doing that? kushner at the time that he was lobbying both sources of money in the middle east, china, and russia, was desperately trying to bail out a skyscraper that the family was in debt for on fifth avenue. trump himself would be very hard-pressed to locate most middle eastern nations on a map. they have been full bore on saudi arabia

trump. something to that effect. and then it turned out that he took the picture five hours before the people started coming into the arena. the arena was packed and there were thousands of people outside. they had to retracted. but this is the kind of dishonesty that we have. >> laura: part two of my interview with the president is next. his reaction to former president obama hitting him on the midterm trail and so much more. stay there. ail and so much more. stay >> tech: at safelite autoglass, we really pride ourselves on making it easy to get your windshield fixed. >> teacher: let's turn in your science papers. >> tech vo: this teacher always puts her students first. >> student: i did mine on volcanoes. >> teacher: you did?! oh, i can't wait to read it. >> tech vo: so when she had auto glass damage... she chose safelite. with safelite, she could see exactly when we'd be there. >> teacher: you must be pascal. >> tech: yes ma'am. >> tech vo: saving her time... [honk, honk] >> kids: bye! >> tech vo: ...so she can sa

, his father, to donald trump. other kids as well. but donald trump was especially taken care of. it includes getting thousands of dollars beginning when he was a kid, the million dollars by the time -- a year by the time he graduated from college. and the most significant things later in life have to do with the ways in which the trump family evaded estate taxes by messing with the valuations of properties that fred trump passed on to his kids so as to avoid -- >> when you say messing with the valuations, is that what normal people would call lying about your money? >> well, "the times" says that in many cases this involved outright fraud. i think they don't make that statement likely, you had multiple reporters investigating. but it had the effect of shrinking the estate tax bill for fred trump's estate from more than $500 million to about $50 million. the second thing that happened was that there were ways in which he was shoveling money to donald trump, putting big bets in a trump casino without placing any bet

trump mortgage was a disaster. trump university was a fraud.e claims to be. >> maybe it's that president trump doesn't earn as much as he told everyone. maybe he's not as rich as he says he is. >> president trump is a phony, a fraud. his promises are as worthless as a degree from trump university. >> final word, david? >> well, if president trump is a billionaire, i'm the most handsome 24-year-old man in america. >> well, your facts are handsome, and we need more pretty facts in a world of lies. david k. johnson, thank you for coming on "the beat." up ahead, hollywood taking on the trump era and satirizing a new movie. one of the stars is on "the beat," straight ahead. only half the story? at t. rowe price our experts go beyond the numbers to examine investment opportunities firsthand. like e-commerce spurring cardboard demand. the pursuit of allergy-free peanuts. and mobile payment reaching new markets. this is strategic investing. because your investments deserve the full story. t.rowe price. invest with confidence. constipation until my doct

>> president trump: he took them. he took a trip with the same fbi agent i guess he was posing as a developer or something. the man stone cold took the stuff. i don't even think he should be allowed to continue on. >> laura: he responded by saying your week. >> president trump: i haven't heard that one lately. here's a guide that in my opinion is a stone cold and his city, tallahassee, is known as the most corrupt in florida and one of the most corrupt in the nation. he's a disaster and how he's even close to being tied is hard to believe. but florida can't have -- if florida has a governor like that, and i know florida better than i know practically anywher anywhere. florida will become venezuela. it will be a disaster and you have ron desantis, who was a harvard yale guy. he's a very good person. he's going to be a very good to a great governor. this other guy is a stone cold, in my opinion, he's a thief. how can you have a guy like this? and you look at his record. look at the job he's done as the mayor of tallahas

donald trump likes strong men. just last week in west virginia, he said the saudi king, i love him heft is a friend of mine. don't forget, chris, where did donald trump go first when he was elected president? the very first president not to go to canada or mexico. he went to saudi to do a sword dance with the saudi royals. he loves these guys. so of course they will have gotten a green light for the crackdown, for purge, and now for this alleged murder. i can't believe, and you look at the comments coming out over washington, d.c. mike pompeo saying the saudis should conduct a thorough investigation. what, they're going to investigate the murder they carried out? how does that make any sense? >> he disappeared in their consulate. i keep hearing people say there should be an investigation. it should be unhand the man. >> cctv. there is no cctv. >> produce him or you are guilty. thank you so much. i really appreciate it. >> thanks, chris. >> that is "all in" for this evening. >>> ambassador nikki haley announces her

trump represents trump. even though we've had unified government for the past almost two years, that's a republican senate, republican congress and a republican presidency, at the end of the day, the only person trump really cares about is himself. so he's saying if you all don't win, that's actually not my problem. and so now we're going to saturday seeing some republicans in particular districts saying, well, actually, it is our problem. aren't we a collective? and that's not how trump views his presidency. that's not how he views the party either. >> i think he's actually both right and wrong. so he's wrong in the sense that, you know, many, many voters who are mobilized and enthusiastic see him and the republican party as one and the same. he's tied to the party, but where he is right is that voters who are going to turn out and probably shift the politics in the house in particular in terms of the democrats, they're not turning out as just some knee-jerk reaction to him. they're turning out around an af

denouncing against donald trump, a check on trump power that would be enough.o a place where looking at the polling and looking at that gap in enthusiasm they didn't think they needed a positive message. basically run against trump. now they're in a situation because of that break that happened with the kavanaugh confirmation hearings it's just not enough to be against trump. again, just the circumstances made it look like it's enough. they have issues that are on the right side of in terms of public opinion. they're driving those issues in those earned media, paid media, across the board. it may be too late for them to fix that problem given how close election day is. >> lisa, off of this conversation, would you agree that the democrats are back on their heels, have been back on their heels for quite some time, they have a terrifically pow powerful wing who can't wait to take control of the house and all they talk about is impeaching the president. all they have to do is if you have a child who's sick, you better pay that the republicans don't take control aga

organization, eric trump. and he is outnumbered. aren't you always outnumbered in manhattan? >> eric trump: i'm just going to say this, there are a lot of of -- a tremendous amount of love in new york city. >> melissa: it when people come over and say, you guys do a great job and we want you all the time, but they are usually whispering. you are right about that. >> in ohio, that's not what happens. >> eric trump: in ohio no one is whispering.

trump. they're enemies of the state. they're enemies of the people. and what they are doing is allowing the country to be invaded by a dangerous hoard coming from the south, made up of brown people. and so the consequences of all of this after two years should not be a surprise to anybody. if you incite and then you incite again, if you revel in menace, if you stigmatize and declare your opponents as enemies from the highest office in the land, the reality is this -- when the president of the united states, people listen. when the president of the united states speaks, people listen. and someone out there took him literally. took him seriously, maybe, and the result is that we also -- that we almost saw a couple of presidents, a vice president, assassinated. imagine if the security screenings did not work and yesterday was a day of bloodshed as opposed to a day where these terror attacks and assassinations failed. this would have been amongst the most significant days in the history of the u
