time for our weekly chat with chuck todd, moderator of "meet the press." good morning, chuck. >> good morning, kris. >> we're still talking about the debate. we know that beto o'rourke's mandatory assault weapons buy-back plan had a lot of people talking, biden's aide present and center at this week's debate. what do you think is going to happen in the democratic race? >> well, that's the thing. does any of this have an impact? the first two debates we thought would have a lot of impact and then the race ended up being back right where it was before the debates began. are we headed in that same direction and how self-reinforcing is all of this? my biggest takeaway is this and it's the focus on joe biden's fitness. there are clearly a lot of people that watched this debate through the prism of can he hold up. and a lot of the coverage of the post debate is that. is that a bar that joe biden can ever meet if he's always going to be judged by that? because you could take a two-hour performance and say it's fine or you could put together a clip reel that makes

good evening, chuck todd in washington. we begin with a big story breaking the last 24 hours. we told you yesterday, could be big, keeps getting bigger. we have additional new reporting from "the wall street journal." moments ago from "the washington post." the post is reporting president trump pressed the leader of ukraine to investigate joe biden's son during a call between the two leaders at the center of this extraordinary whistleblower complaint. that follows this report in "the wall street journal" that broke moments before that which has them reporting president trump repeatedly pressured ukraine's president to investigate biden's son, urged him about 8 times to work with rudy giuliani to do that, who of course is the president's personal lawyer. nbc news hasn't confirmed reporting in either the journal or post, which broke moments ago, but we're working on that. we're talking to one of the reporters at the journal in a moment. the potential bombshell, have to put the word potential there, report comes after guilliani admitted he asked ukraine to investigate biden and h

chuck todd. julian castro from the edge of the stage took a shot at joe biden's memory. during a back and forth over health care policy. in a moment i'll be joined by julian castro who defiantly says he wasn't going after biden personally. still castro is facing some intense blowback from fellow democrats. some call his attacks below the belt, untruth and trumpian. some say the shot at biden should be aware of the severity of the political combat that awaits. later this afternoon biden was peppered by questions from the press corps. >> what castro said to you last night was a low blow, cheap shot. he said it wasn't personal. how do you view it. >> i don't view it as anything. he has his facts wrong. >> your rivals are comfortable questioning your age, carrying the ball over the finish line as cory booker says. >> carry the ball over the finish line. >> is it fair for your rivals to play the age card? >> of course it is. last night was the closest we've come to a debate. >> have you seen your medi

good evening, i'm chuck todd here in washington it's choosing time for democrats, apparently. we begin with big news hot off the presses right here the at nbc news these are the brand new numbers out right now. 5:00 p.m. from our latest nbc news/"wall street journal" poll of democratic primary voters this is all taken after the most recent democratic debate as you can see, there's some separation at the top of the field with biden and warren both rising, although warren arguably has a bit more momentum and we'll have more on that in a moment the sanders candidacy is stuck basically in neutral, but here's the biggest movement in our poll it isn't the rise of biden and warren, it's the fall of kamala harris his support is plummeting to the point that andrew yang's unlikely candidacy has caught hers in the polls. but like i said, the big story is less about who's losing and more of the separation we're starting to see at the top when you combine the first and second choices of democrats, it's a two-person race, warren and biden. both are rising. the separation is also very notabl

i'm chuck todd here in washington. democrats are fast tracking their investigation into the

i am chuck todd here in new york city. in britain it was parliament that said enough. in hong kong it was the people. and now we're left wondering if those are omens for the trump presidency or not. 21 conservatives went rogue on their leader yesterday, boris johnson, over his attempts to sideline parliament on brexit. today parliament defied him in a vote to delay brexit. these conservative leaders risked their careers to defy their leader and set in motion a process that could remove boris johnson from power. that's quite the contrast of how the conservative members of congress here have been unwilling to buck mr. trump. many of them if they want to buck him, they retire. see the texadus story. but senate majority leader mitch mcconnell won't even move on gun measures without things being blessed by trump first. another gop retirement reminds us in many cases republicans would rather leave than fight this president. that's seemingly how republicans revolt against trump. they don't stand up, they sit down. then there's hong kong where millions of people stood up to wh

this is "meet the press daily" and good evening, i'm chuck todd here in washington. pun intended here, but the projected path of this presidency and re-election effort right now is not heading in a good direction. so let's mark things up, sharpie style, so to speak. president trump said mexico is paying for the wall, but now we know, thanks to a list of 127 projects from the defense department whose funds are being diverted that places like mexico beach in florida are actually paying for the wall. the attack ad, by the way, there almost writes itself for the democrats. the president is potentially playing with fire politically on this. millions in funds allocated for tyndall air force base in florida are being diverted. same goes for military facilities in arizona, colorado, new mexico, texas, and wisconsin. yes, those are just competitive 2020 states affected. many others are, too. the president also said new wall is being built rapidly. but it's not. in fact, when he rolled out his campaign slogan "finish the wall," no new wall had actually been built. none, zero,

i'm chuck todd in washington.ow that we've seen the whistle-blower complaint, it may very well turn into the democratic -- house democrats' road map for impeachment. how potentially damaging and detailed it is. it describes a wide-ranging and long-running scheme by the president and his associates to try to pressure ukraine to investigate a political rival. also including new allegations of an effort to cover up some of the evidence. there are many leads and witnesses and questions outlined in the seven-page document. the president is, of course, the central figure here but also potentially implicated at least in this whistle-blower report vice president pence, attorney general bill barr, the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani, multiple white house officials and many others. now, the whistle-blower also details evidence of a potential cover-up. the complaint claims that white house officials knew that that infamous july phone call between the president and ukraine's president was a problem. and then tried

let's bring in chuck todd now in washington and andrea mitchell in new york to talk more about this andrea, you've covered seven presidents you've looked through this memo of the conversation. what stood out to you? >> what is surprising to a lot of people whom i've talked to, former officials, some current officials, democrats as well a privately republicans is he's raising the issue of a political opponent, joe biden and biden's family to a newly-elected lead tore a vulnerable country invaded by russia, needs military aid, only one week after he had frozen congressionally approved military aid, weapons for this leader so this gives him so much leverage he doesn't have to say anything explicitly and it raises a lot of questions about how he's conducting foreign policy >> chuck, the white house put th the president insisting it would help him, nothing to see here. 24 hours later, though, is the president doing a better or all that is implicated by this phone call, where the president makes references to his attorney general. justice department says they don't know -- the attorney general d

and one thing that he told our own chuck todd on "meet the press" now that the talks have tallen apart and no plans to pick them up, then cotext is that they have been going on for more than a year with the trump administration, and the talks with the taliban and things had come to a head and coming to reach a resolution, and perhaps why they were going to camp david, but pompeo says that the talks are off and he doesn't know when they will start again and the taliban is going to be led by more american-led attacks in the coming days. >> and thank you for setting us up on a further conversation on that. and now joining us is laura bas it is, and charlie from t"the nw york times", and what is striking you most about this? >> the deal of getting the american serviceman out of captivity and obama sent five members to qatar and the group that the administration has been working with that led up to this aborted meeting in camp david. and half the country lost its mind to dealing with qatar leadership, and now the bring this without any for mall agreemeing -- formal agreement and pompeo was
