the moment they saw trump's numbers go up and cruz's go down was a night in march of 2016 when protesters in chicago mobilized and kept trump from being able to have a rally in that city. cruz folks will tell you that when that protest happened, a number of republican primary voters saw it, fox news covered the whole thing live, wall to wall coverage, republican primary voters saw it and they decided whoever these people are protesting must be doing something right and that's a big part of the reason, it's obviously not the whole reason, but it's a really important moment for understanding why trump did as well as he did with republican primary voters. and that's part of the reason that people in trump's orbit right now are surprisingly delighted to see some of these protests. it's a really interesting paradox. that the protests we're seeing from people who are deeply concerned about the trump presidency simultaneously bring a lot of the heartening and enthusiasm to the left but also perplexingly enough give trump potentially an opening to go after his biggest critics. >> there's always t

december 1990, donald trump owns a casino called the trump cast until atlantic city. he has done a very bad job running that casino. he has way overspent on renovations, otherwise dumped way more cash into it than the business could keep up with. and on december 17th, 1990, his casino, the trump castle needed to make a payment, a multimillion-dollar interest payment on a big loan they had taken out for that failing casino. just hours before that payment was due, it really looked like trump was not going to make it, which would have dire consequences. and so his dad, who was then 85 years old, sent a bag man to this casino, to donald trump's casino in atlantic city. the dude he sent, his name was howard snyder, walked into trump's casino in atlantic city. he went up to the cage where all the cashiers work on the casino floor and he handed them a check for $3.35 million. the cashiers verified that the check was good, and the casino promptly handed over to howard snyder a big pile of poker chips. here you go. each worth $5,000. $3.3 million worth of poker chips. howard sn

as a you know you sleep just a little bit less restfully these last couple of days since president trump's announcement that he's going to scrap the i.m.f. treaty absolutely i mean i think that we are in a situation now where so many of the institutions that have shaped the post cold war era are being called into question and and there is a lot of concern all over the world i think about the framework that kind of kept nuclear weapons in check being eroded and i recognize really clearly recognize that other that this treaty is outdated and needs to be updated because there are so many other players now that have developed these sort of shorter range and intermediate range missiles but we you know it doesn't seem like the right thing to be doing to be backing away from such an important treaty elise rosen give mortons are saying is there and i don't mean this question for frivolously at all is it time now to start building bunkers in the darkness people not so long ago was actually did or we are seeing in fact a return to some of the cold war dynamics to the cold war rhetoric on both sides

trump says he has nothing to do with this. do you leave open that as a possibility? you know, i've read those, and i thought, don't these sound like every other trump denial? it's always, he didn't do it, it was someone else, it never happened, and then it is, oh, it didn't make any difference, it wasn't illegal. this is part of a pattern of a president who's really a phony, who has 7.5 lies per day according to one study that was done. we cannot have confidence in him. we need to fact check. we need to oversight. and that's what my motions have been intended to do. and i think when we have something other than a republican cover-up congress, we'll get to the bottom of this. we'll be able to look at the more recent data and see if we don't have this continued pattern of using basically tax evasion and in the trump family case, an empire built on federal subsidies and then tax evasion so that really american taxpayers got hit twice by this family. >> well, we will see if the president has more response tonight as he is holding campaign rally. congressman, thank you. >

under the obama administration, they came up with a plan that was 97% effective. the trump scrapped it. we don't really think it's much of a choice for parents here to decide i'm going to keep my child in this horrific family detention center or lose my child to some distant relative or not even a relative. there will be an enormous push back on this. >> how did you react to what you heard the president say admitting this is a deterrent? >> i think the one thing if you ask experts is it's not a deterrent because when you have a family that's to scared and fearing for their life, they will come any way. i've talked to parents who come here and asked them point blank, would you have come any way if you had known in advance that your child would be taken away. they just shrug and say what choice did i have. i can't let my child be killed. i can't stay there. even if it were a deterrent, in the united states at some point we don't do everything that could be a deterrent no matter how inhumane. that's why i think this is the first administration, democratic or republican that's

democratic leaders maxine waters in eric holder who are saying you know go out there and when you see a trump supporter in a restaurant and have at a gas station or or several you get in their face when they go low we fight and this rhetoric granted not on the level of pipe bombs and white powder but this is what we've been talking about all over the place every week we've had senators and members of the trump staff including nancy pelosi so it goes both sides being thrown out and violently that will threaten the violence and also we have a third aspect of this some people are saying isn't it funny because whenever there is an event you say what being knocked off of the front page because in this country you have one story at a time can do two can do multiple plates spinning it's one story and the story that's not being discussed is the so-called caravan so you pick your incorrect interpretation let me also add it's very interesting to hear some luminaries know. normally mostly democratic hillary clinton governor cuomo of new york mayor de blasio kind of insinuate without saying so that it's

not just a trump white house crisis. it's funny how foreign policy works and you have seen over the years -- this is a horrible war in yemen. famine with 1 million people. putin has killed people. there was the helsinki thing. but this one feels like it might become a moment where the whole trump foreign policy gets put in question. people have been saying, well, he really hasn't been tested by the crisis. he's been lucky. things people like me think are big foreign policy mistakes, but haven't paid a price for them. you could have a question now, a historic relationship, one that has been controversial, one that should have been more controversial, perhaps. and it could be a real moment, interesting moment for american foreign policy. >> and simone, as bill points out, the u.s. has been turning a blind eye to saudi human rights abuses -- >> for a while. >> -- for decades. but there is probably no president who has more starkly talked about why we need saudi arabia in their view than president trump talks about it. take a

trump said that their enemies were his enemies. everyone they saw as a threat to their cultural heritage, societal dominance. he would attack on their behalf. never projectionist, trump repeatedly encouraged violence at his campaign rallies and has recently taken to casting democrats as a mob. in fact, his supporters are the mob. steve? >> he's 100% correct. let's look at the caravan such that it is. now whether you think that consideration should be given to allow some of them into the country as refugees or whether you believe that none of them should be allowed into the country, the truth of the matter is, this is not a panser division advancing on the southern border that's a national security threat to the united states of america. but donald trump has instigated hatred. stoked it by saying that they are. and so if you are an unbalanced person out there, what is it that you hear? you hear that all of these people are enemies. they're enemies of trump. they're enemies of the state. they're enemies of the people. and what they are doing is allowing th

that this is a trump guy. this is a maga bomber. 's what they call him. >> it's trump rhetoric that caused him to put these devices in the mail. they just jumped right to. that i think the american people are fair and they realize there are people that are unbalanced across the country. this person is a lone wolf person that is not balanced. it's irresponsible to say it has anything to do with the people who support donald trump or donald trump himself. his rhetoric matches the fact we are so frustrated about what the country has done with hillary clinton. never have any of us wanted body harm or something terrible to happen to these people. we want to beat them politically. >> laura: we don't want to blow up the white house. >> like they do. madonna and cathy griffin. >> laura: cnn watching this unfolding was very dismayed to see the stickers on the van including one about cnn. let's watch. >> putting this picture up. the image of what was on that van. that image cnn sucks. of course the president did not direct this. he is not resp

today's installment of donald trump's denigration of women came in the form of a tweet about stormy daniels, president tweeting this, "federal judge throws out stormy daniels' lawsuit versus trump. trump is entitled to full legal fees. at fox news, great, now i can go after horse face and her third-rate laywyer in the great state of texas. she'll confirm the letter she signed. she knows nothing about me. a total con." horse face. the president of the united states called a woman with whom he had an alleged sexual relationship horse face. unfortunately it's the kind of insult, personal, childish and mean, that people have become so accustom to with this president that it barely registered as news but it renders the first lady's "be best" campaign, anti-bullying effort, pointless and satirical and ivanka's trump stated mission of being an ambassador for women a pointless joke. how could these women or any woman in the white house pretend they work for anyone other than a very loud mouthed and very thin skinned bully? it even shows bashi ining women alleged victim of a sexual assault, is more

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

are you a trump republican? no, i'm not a trump republican. i'm an independent republican. i've been independent all my life. tost in my family to go college, the only person in my college class to go to the marines, i went to a company that had six weeks of cash left, everyone told me not to go there. i don't explore the president on offshore drilling, i don't support the tax bill with the $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions, i'm pro-choice, pro-marriage equality worried i'm a leader, i'm not a follower. i'm going to washington to work with democrats and republicans to put the people's issues first. we need independent leaders, and i'm going to be that independent leader. i went to the white house to meet with president trump on pharmaceutical prices, because we need to lower prices, get more transparency, to reform a system that badly needs reform. before, i was in the roosevelt room with president obama discussing tpp and trade. so i would discuss with everybody issues, and fight for change. senator menendez: you can't in 60 minutes change what you have been for

a trump. a presuntamente consiguiÓ que un Árbitro emitiera una orden contra daniels pero ella lo omitiÓ y dio una entrevista. tanto la casa blanca como el abogado se han negado a comentar. >> daniels ha actuado y sostiene que tuvo una relaciÓn sexual con trump en el 2006. saliÓ a la venta el nuevo ni en el que relata detalles de su presunto romance con trump. el abogado le pago como parte de un acuerdo para que no hablara de la presunta relaciÓn. en un principio trump negÓ haber sabido de ese pago. durante su confesiÓn en una corte revelÓ que trump le habÍa ordenado haciendo el pago a stormy. el acuerdo que firmÓ no es vÁlido porque aunque ella firmÓ el presidente nunca lo hizo. enrique: ridiculizÓ el valiente testimonio de ford. todo esto en medio de risas. [habla en inglÉs] enrique: el mandatario tambiÉn arremetiÓ contra los demócratas que rechazan la confirmaciÓn de kavanaugh. las acciones del presidente ocurren en el marco de la investigaciÓn que sigue el fbi. la investigaciÓn podrÍa conclu

trump versus putin a new show down in europe. trump versus putting america and the chinese in the equation as well how are they going to be brought together these free. antagonists. a presumably their own self interest i mean i think all three countries. are enjoying the fruits of the prosperity of the world trade and and they'll they'll want to work together i mean you mentioned earlier -- people are applauding trump pulling out of the i and if i don't think anybody applauded i think people understand. why the u. s. after so many years of violations is threatening to pull out and talking to pull out because trump once the new deal he wants an updated? modern deal that reflects the reality of twenty eighteen in -- nineteen eighty seven is it going to happen anytime soon i mean we're talking about the two gentleman now meeting november the eleventh and paris well. look look back a year so go all the fears about south korea north korea with the missiles being launched there anybody thought trump was a was out of his mind. and all of

a reminder of what we learned. mr. trumpreceived the equivalent today of at least $413 million from his father's real estate empire. starting when he was a toddler and continuing to this day. much of this money came to mr. trump because he helped his parents dodge taxes. he and his siblings set up a sham corporation to disguise millions of dollars in gifts from their parents' records and interviews show. when asked today about that report, trump said the money he received from his father has, quote, been very well documented. joining us now is ross buetner, one of the reporters who worked on that story and is featured in the showtime documentary last night. take me through how this story, this unbelievable body of reporting. matt miller and i were on set. how did that drop in the middle of the kavanaugh inferno? it seemed like the story that could have fueled a week-long conversation about how one of the central pillars of donald trump's identity was a big, fat lie. >> you mean why didn't we try to wait for the perfect news

president trump has embraced a trumpian strategy to make the midterms all about, you guessed it, trump. we're talking trump saturation right now, guys. all trump all the time. trump on the road. trump in your living room. trump press conferences. more trump rallies. more trump press conferences. just moments ago, another press conference this time as the president met with officials in georgia while touring the damage from hurricane michael. later this week we've gtot a trump in waco. >> a vote for cindy is a vote for me. >> a vote sfor steve is a vote for me. a vote for david is a vote for me in our agenda to make america great again. >> you could argue that republicans are poised to lose control of congress because of trump. and there are signs of a huge spike in midterm voter turn outamong grououts that aren't known as big trump fans. 81% of democrats say they are certain to vote which is up nearly 20 points compared to the 2014 midterms. the turnout from younger voters could spike by 25 points. it's the same with minorities. however democrats are seeing flashing warning signs when
