david graham joining me right now. what do you mean by that?ising, making it up on the fly, but i think what we saw on tuesday was a very clear argument and one that fits in with things he's been saying all along, and it's an interesting thing he's trying to d. on the one hand he's saying, yes, there are these white nationalists, and the neo-nazis and the ku klux klan, we don't approve of those, those people are not ok, but orlando, there are people marching with him who are good people and just object to the tearing down of confederate statues, people who take pride in white identity, who feel white people are discriminated against but would never associate themselves with the klan or neo-nazis and i think a lot of these people are the core of trump support. >> so you o'er saying he may have been sending messages to up porters or maintaining support, how about the message he's sending to the rest of the nation? he needs that support base to grow and now that he appears to have alienated himself, he had so many elected leader who is he needs on

joining us, david graham, staff writer at "the atlantic," just wrote a piece called "trump has quietlyhed more than it appears." first, mr. graham, thank you for joining us, david. what do you make of the quietly part, what is sometimes called the shadow government, the faces behind the big names and the brash talk? >> i think there's a couple things going on. one is trump is creating so much news and chaos at the white house level and a lot of the big name, big topic airs yas that it's hard to see these things going on. the other thing is, these are not necessarily -- the priorities trump talked about during the campaign. these are in many cases conservative republican priorities, rolling back regulation, making things easier for business, cutting on environmental protection. they're not necessarily the red meat for trump's base so much. >> so do they have a point, the white house, when they say you guys are ignoring all we're getting done? >> well, i think it's interesting. the things i think are maybe their greatest accomplishments are often not the ones they talk about. they talk a

david: senator lindsey graham issuing a dire warning about taxes if health care reform is not completedneed to keep trying on health care. if we fail on health care we're going to fail on taxes. david: to weigh in on all of this republican congressman from south carolina, freedom caucus member, mark sanford. do you get what lindsey graham is saying because i don't, unless you're a believer in this pay-for system where, before you have a tax cut you have to somehow pay for it, which i don't buy into, do you? >> well i don't buy it into but the problem is the way reconciliation works it has to be budget neutral. so i suspect what the senator is getting at is again since reconciliation is the vehicle here for tax reform, and given that it requires budget neutrality, one of the things that was built in with health care is in essence over a trillion dollars pay-for. when he is getting at if you don't have trillion dollars there, where do you get it? david: that whole revenue neutrality stuff is bunk. there is no bill exactly revenue neutral. it doesn't happen. you know that very well. maybe

david: lindsey graham came out a couple of days ago in you had it very fast tweets from the presidentm back. >> we are not getting that. fact -- whaty, the are they hearing from their constituents? if they are hearing some questions from constituents it might push the other way. >> sometimes you have to tip your hat to someone who takes a stand on principle. bob corker of tennessee is one of the most conservative leaning states, trump had strong support there and for him to criticize donald trump by name in his own town, may be a principled position and does not have anything to do with holes or the voters. david: marty, thank you for joining us. we want to look at how the markets reacted to two events yesterday. on the one hand you had rumors about gary cohn perhaps leaving. that is the yellow band. the blue line which is the s&p comes down. the white line, the vix goes up. the white house says it won't happen so the blue goes back up, the s&p recovers, the vix goes back down and then there were terrorist attacks in spain and it reverses itself. i can't tell you how many people i spo

foreeting the media including senator lindsey graham and senator jeff flake, both of whom he says is characterized his remarks regarding charlottesville. david: it was lindsey graham he really went after an lindsey graham was one of the relatively few republicans that went public and challenged the president. is the president having a suppressing effect on republicans with his intimidation? kevin: i think in terms of the distance they are trying to create, this is a different political battle they have to face unlike ceos. at the end of the day, republicans have to answer to constituents and report -- ceos have to answer to shareholders. become anthis has issue of morals and american consciousness rid of several top republicans including mitch mcconnell and the speaker of the house, paul ryan, have all sought did announce the president -- to denounce the president's rhetoric and try to keep the party together. david: think he so much. we are now joined by somebody that knows a great deal about marketing and branding. he is scott galloway, and why you stern school of business -- nyu stern school of business professor. when i spoke with the ch

he comfortably beat david gilbert 5—2 and will play another former world champion graham dot in the nextmet with fa chairman greg clarke to discuss why there's no openly gay pro footballers in the english game. bosworth told the bbc that clarke was the most important person to have on—side in football's fight against homophobia in football — but added that although coming out has really helped his career, it's important for every athlete to be allowed to approach the issue on their own terms. i felt like it was very much that they almost wanted to create a gay day and have a few footballers come out altogether. what i said was this is such an individual situation for every single one of them, the situation is going to be different, their relationship, they might not be in their relationship, they might not beina their relationship, they might not be in a relationship, there might be no need for them to come out. they might be playing in the premier league but the country they come from, it might still even be illegal to be gay so there is no chance of them coming out. every single case i

look, david duke does not think that lindsey graham is a friend.thing. it's time for donald trump to stand frankly with the more enlightened members of his own party and say good-bye to the kkk. say good-bye to donald -- to david duke. and make it very clear to rest of us that he believes that out of many come one. that we can all be one people moving forward to gether. >> i've asked this question of a few people today and i'm curious your thoughts here. do you think the president is a racist? or do you think this is politics? do you think he's trying to play to a large portion of his base that voted him into office with not condemning neo-nazis and white supremacists and the white nationalists and the like, do you think that's more of what this is about or is he a racist in hisyour mind? >> if it walks like a david duke duck, it might be a david duke duck. i don't know what's in the man's mind but i do know he keeps using these dog whistles. they can be used by cynics who actually aren't racist deep in their heart but simply want the benefits of p

kristin powers, david gregory, bakari sellers and susan page. is there a strategy -- lindsey graham was on television earlier saying it's not just that people think he's unhinged. there's a strategy. is there a strategy and is it a smart strategy? >> i think it absolute is he a strategy and how smart it is, we don't know yet. president trump as a candidate made it very clear that he was going to roll through both the democrats and the republicans and, of course, he started with the republicans saying that establishment republicans weren't getting the job done, weren't responsive to concerns of too many americans and i think we have to remember, this is an astute part of how he ran and how he's governing. where i think it's less smart is what manu referred to, which is if you're actually going to get the legislation done, you've got to work the process. even if you want to play more of an outsider. right now he's just trashing everybody in the party and running against everybody at the same time. >> i think what we're seeing, starting yesterday, when he reiterated his commitment to g

david purdue and tom cotton. you know, already getting some feedsback from republicans like grahams graha lindsey graham, calling this a misreading of the economy. he says he does back the merit-based idea, but then says this -- >> i don't want an economy that doesn't recognize how diverse we are as a nation and to take all the green cards and put them in one in the economy is just, i think, ill advised. i can't support that. >> no support there. why introduce something so controversial that many are saying has little chance of going anywhere? >> a lot of reporters were tweeting yesterday how surreal it was to see stephen miller at the podium talking about this bill. absolutely when he was working in jeff sessions' office, this is the exact type of thing that sessions would spruce. did not get -- would introduce. it did not get widespread report. it's not overstating it that the idea has been around washington for a long time, have typically been at the margins and do not have a lot of support. you know, there was an effort to have some point-based systems and address chain migration in the big gang of eight com

feinstein just moments ago trying to clarify what senator lindsey graham said about a potential first strike against north korea. joining me now, david ignacious and ambassador wendy sherman, former undersecretary state for political affairs and global affairs contributor. welcome both. ambassador, you've negotiated with the north koreans and know they lie, cheat, steal, whatever. they now have an icbm capable of reaching the midwestern united states, not armed. but is lindsey graham right, we should take some military action or is dianne feinstein correct, which is that we don't know where all their stuff is. >> the truth is, i think lindsey graham was saying let's destroy the country and, of course, that's an option. but really terrible one. as you pointed out, as senator feinstein pointed out, that would be devastating to millions of people. and not necessarily take care of all of the risk that is here. i think that what senator feinstein was suggesting in terms of a high level effort, quietly, if possible, to really engage and see what's possible here while we put all of the rest of our tools to work, sanctions, military posturin

but former kkk leader david duke thanked the president for his honesty and courage. that prompted south carolina's lindsey graham to plead with the president, you are now receiving praise from some of the most racists and hate-filled individuals and groups in our country. for the sake of our nation as our president, please fix this. how will he fix it? we'll ask south carolina's other republican senator tim scott who said this week the president's moral authority is now compromised. virginia democratic senator tim kaine will also join us to discuss the debate over confederate monuments that has mushroomed since playing a role in the protest. plus, just days after defending his chief strategist steve bannon. >> he is not a racist i can tell you that. he's a good person. he actually gets a very unfair press in that regard. >> dickerson: the president said goodbye to the self described national list. latest senior white house official from the president's original team to leave the administration. will his departure lead to the stability the president's advisors and family crave or open up new fault lines. we'll ta

senator graham goes on to say many republicans do not agree with and will fight back against the idea that the party of lincoln has a welcome mat out for the david dukes of the world. finally, my thoughts and prayers will be with the family and friends of miss heyer as they remember and honor her today. that from republican senator lindsey graham. many republicans are having a hard time calling the president out by name. lindsey graham did just that just now. we will get to that. much more of that in just a moment. i do want to continue to shine a light this hour on the life and death of heather heyer. we are outside the memorial service right now. what are you hearing and seeing? what's going on there? >> reporter: well, kate, the paramount theater where the service will be held is now full with people coming here, being sent to an overflow area. governor terry mcauliffe is inside, senator tim kaine as well as residents of charlottesville and we just received a copy of the program from rosa flores. we learned we will hear from both of heather's parents, her grandfather, two cousins, the man who hired her to work with the miller law group here i

david, is it your sense that leading republicans in the senate have reached some sort of tipping point where even beyond lindsey graham and john mccain and jeff lake, thatthey're more willing to come out and publicly split with the president? >> clearly they are. there's no question about it. they feel emboldened to take on a president who is increasingly weak although he has his base behind him republicans who put him into office. this is a president who continues to provoke them and to challenge them from the outside, as if he's not the head of the republican party. he's a president not leveling with the american people. the white house lies about things it should not lie about. this russia investigation is something that grows bigger because of how the president and his team handles it, period. you want to wiggle out from that? then level with the american people. it's that simple. republicans on capitol hill are increasingly paying the penalty for that as they have a president who lax credibility. if you don't tell the truth about some things, you can't be believed on other things. the president's credibility, th

david healthcare bills last week. there's one still hanging around, by senators cassidy and graham. i wrote a story about it yesterday. do not think it a compromise solution it's more disruptive radical than the other bills so i don't see that going forward. it's a big medicaid cut and senator heller mysteriously signed on to this bill which is surprising to me.se so i don't think that's moving forward. yesterday we had an announcement from the health committee, from senator alexander, senator murray, september 4th they're holding bipartisan hearings on fixing the individual market. they're working on a very tying timeline. on august 16th, insurance companies have to submit their final insurance rates toto healthcare.gov and on september 27th have to make a decision, are we in or out27 center we selling on the marketplace, given that open enrollment is starting in november. so you're looking at a very, very small window of actually doing something, with hearings september 4th, september 27th deadline in theth future, i think the announcement of hearings is bring something comfort to

david dukes of the world. so again president trump respresponding to what lindsay graham has to same lindsay graham along witnessia twisting his words lost people saying, mr. president, it was there for everyone to hear. >> multiple times. >> exactly in this case we're not twisting your words. merely repeating exactly what you said. so again the controversy continues. sadly. >> right. you know what i find regardless of how you vote or what have y you, what i continue to find troubling is the personal attacks when someone brings up a dialogue or a point of view. >> it's troubling to me. >> we've seen this pattern. people who know him he's a counter puncher. if he feels attacked he lash out and we've seen it time and tile again. at a time like this you wish per happen the damage has been done you can't unrink the bell. dial it back and maybe whatever your -- your private moments try to move and be presidential. i don't know. again -- >> he's made attacking his own party. he attacks members of his own party at the drop of a dime. >> absolutely. >> it's not like he's after democrats. lindsay other people previously.

him for his decision on afghanistan, including senator lindsey graham, who said he was relieved by the president's comments last night. davidrad dequadros. there will be a rally in phoenix, arizona tonight. i imagine tax reform could, up. when -- could come up. of ayou take the pulse quiet washington, where do things stand when it comes to tax reform? what will you listen for? conrad: the question is if we can take this u-turn on afghanistan and say is there a potential of something similar on economic policies? one of the positives we can take onhe had an instinct afghanistan, advisers told him something different, and he went with the advisers. he has advisers who push back on .is topics, including trade the question is will he now rely a little more on their advice? and stevery cohn mnuchin pushing him on tax reform, pushing him to focus on that. the hope is it becomes something the at ministers and focuses on, because it is obviously an extremely important topic. david: in this white house, you see a more cohesive, unified national security team. you mentioned the principles of the economic team. conrad: you do not see

graham, consultant. ruy teixeira made the statement the gop had no vision for america. >> that is what david brooks says.>> i will ask mister goldberg to comment on that. the reason i'm asking you to comment on it is a have a vision for government but they have no vision for the country as a whole. comment on that. >> i thought i dodged that bullet. i david has a pretty good point. i get asked a lot, there are all sorts of issues but why are democrats so much better in politics than republicans and for reasons ray put out, that doesn't seem obvious to democrats who don't control any government but democrat live and breathe politics in a way and helped in the media and get to do fine and frame issues in a way republicans never can. part of it, they don't mean this to be nearly as pejorative as it sounds, republicans politicians tend to be more normal people. what i mean by that is not -- >> like president? [laughter] >> in debate i would call that a direct hit. one of the liberating things about politically homeless these days as i only have to defend what i want to defend. what i mean by that is remember

graham's statement about him this morning. mr. president, your words are dividing americans, not healing them. last night on this program, former republican congressman davidredicted that donald trump has now divided the republican party to the point that he will have a republican challenger or challengers in the next presidential campaign. >> there's a lot of republicans thinking tonight, if i can't find somebody to run against donald trump, i'll run against him myself. >> ohio governor john kasich was the last man standing against donald trump in the last republican presidential primaries, and on the "today" show this morning, as soon as the governor was introduced, before he was asked a single question, john kasich said this. >> pathetic, isn't it? just pathetic. to not condemn these people who went there to carry out violence and to somehow draw some kind of equivalency to somebody eld reduces the ability to totally condemn these hate groups. a president has to totally condemn this. there is no moral equivalency between the kkk, the knee dwrne and anybody else. >> today, mitch mcconnell issued a statement saying, we can have no tolerance for an ideolog

graham who issued a statement... saying: "many republicans do not agree with and will fight back against the idea that the party of lincoln has a welcome mat out for the david dukes of the world..."though one republican source told cnn: "i think (the president's) ability to effectively govern is dwindling by the hour."> (pam) president trump is not only facing mounting backlash from his own party. but calls for impeachment are getting louder ... from some members of congress. you will hear from a constitutional expert about that possibility... tonight at 8-30. (pam) two shootings in two -days on highway 8-80. the c-h-p says, the latest incident marks 100 - shootings on bay area freeways since november of 20-15. this is where the 8-80 shootings have happened. the first on monday night -- when a driver was shot in the head on 8-80 in san leandro near lewelling boulevard. the second shooting happening a few miles south in hayward, near the highway 92 junction. this time -- police got a call about men hanging out of a car window... and aiming a weapon at another car. the c-h-p says, the victim was a teen girl. they say, she was terrified and curled up in a ball

david, how do you suppose the president's speech will be received by republicans? it did not mention a specific troop number. that might be something that john mccain and lindsey grahaml want to hear more about. what's your general assessment about how it is received by fellow republicans? >> it's a rather forgettable and bizarre moment, to be honest, if you're a mainstream american, a president. you nailed it from the opening of the show tonight. past presidents would have spoken from the oval office and announced specific troop increases. this president really said nothing. the mainstream republicans will say, good, we have a plan. let's disrupt terror. but it's the breitbart republicans that you were just talking about that will be enraged because donald trump tonight just gave barack obama a big hug on afghan policy. i know there's nuances but the bottom line is, donald trump said i was wrong in my campaign promises, i lied to my supporters. we will not be engaged in nation building but we'll go after terrorists and stay in afghanistan. that was barack obama's policy as well. we're not going to pursue nation building. we're going to catch terrorists like osama bi

gop senator lyndsay graum graham issued a statement saying, many republicans do not agree with and will fight back the idea the party of lincoln has a welcome matt to the david dukes of the world. >> the president should have immediately denounced the bigotry and hatred he saw in charlottesville. the president sthchl done that immediately. the president was wrong to do that and i've said that loud and clear. >> reporter: but it's not clear gop leaders are going to do much about it. both senate majority leader and mitch mcconnell and house speaker paul ryan discussed their disappointment and not much more. though one republican source told cnn i think the president's ability to effectively govern is dwindling by the hour. many in the party are still shell shocked by the president's comments. >> so, this week it's robert e. lee. i notice that stone wall jackson is coming down. i wonder, is it george washington next week and is it thomas jefferson the week after? you know, you really do have to ask yourself where does it stop. >> reporter: with the president back at bedminster, one michigan republican recommended go back on vacation. i think america needs more

with norman bettison, graham mackrell, alan foster and donald denton will all appear at warrington magistrates‘ court. they will next appear before preston crown court alongside davidtourists, but it is now so popular that it services are being stretched to the limit and billy scotland is wa nt to the limit and billy scotland is want visitors to plan ahead. skye has a unique and stunning combination of rivers, mountains, and sea loughs. but now under it's under increasing pressure from drive—through tourism. some of skye's most stunning locations are victims of their own success. suffering increasing road and path erosion, but still visitors are drawn to them. what do you think of what you've seen so far? it's beautiful. i mean, just the landscape, the colours are beautiful. something you don't see anywhere else. i didn't imagine it was so many people, but yeah, i think we were quite surprised by that. but you know, you have the vast landscape and you know, you just walk and you have your space. so, yeah. not so much space on skye's single—track roads. incidents like this are surprisingly common. and more people are coming to skye because they've seen it on film. t

gop senator lindsey graham issued a statement saying many republicans do not agree with and will fight back against the idea that the party of lincoln has a welcome mat for the david dukes of the world. to cory gardner. >> hatred, race, bigotry is responsible in charlottesville. kkk, neo-nazis, bigots, hatred, white supremacists, it is not acceptable. there's no more alley kwif len see. >> one republican source told cnn i think the president's ability to effectively govern is dwindling by the hour. many in the party are still shell shocked by the president's comments. >> so this week it is robert e. lee. i notice that stonewall jackson is coming down. i wonder, is it george washington next week? and then thomas jefferson the week after. you have to ask yourself where does it stop. >> reporter: with the president back at bedminster, one michigan congressman offered one suggestion to mr. trump, go back on vacation. meaning donald trump should focus more on golf and have less press conferences. he is headed to camp david this weekend. despite deep divisions he has created in the last few days still has to represent the u.s. with crises overseas. wolf, back to comment

david drucker. molly, i was looking at you while that was playing. we were talking before this is the president considers maybe as vp, secretary of state. this is not a lipid say grahamjohn mccain. what do you make of it? how big is that that he questioned the president's competency and stability? >> it's a big deal because, as you say, bob corker has really tried to be on trump's team. on the other hand, those of us who cover the congress know bob corker is a truth teller, he's not someone who is going to tow the party line if he doesn't believe it. that's part of the reason he was able to -- part of the reason, frankly, that he rejected the vp slot when he was considered for it. he just didn't think that he could continue to be on trump's team if it was going to require him to often bury his relationship with the truth. so the word in that statement that i still wonder about is yet, because so many republicans are still saying he's not yet there. i think that word yet is going to disappear as they come to the end of their lope and realize, it's not that it's going to happen -- hasn't happened yet. >> the measure is, while the president's inability to surrender the

david, how are you? >> other countries, could you put japan and especially india into this picture, please? >> japan and india, graham. >> japan has the defense establishment, if you were to have a naval war just between the two parties in the east china sea between japan and china today with the balance of forces, i would bet on japan. it was just a sea encounter. that won't continue, but over time, currently. and the mutual defense treaty is very strong. so i would say japan is a big player. and one of china's problems and one of the reasons why it's different than in the case of the emergence of the u.s. is that there are strong and powerful other, you know, actors in the region. but as neil said, what this'll end up doing if the athenian/spartan case is the touchstone, is that the relationships with these allies will evolve and adapt and adjust, and the entanglements with the allies can often end up becoming the reason why one thing leads to the other and the two parties end up where they don't want. india, i think, is a wildcard. india, i mean, i'm probably prejudiced about india, because i'm too much influenced

"many republicans do not agree and will fight back against the idea that the party of lincoln has a welcome mat out for the davidh had this to say -- >> pathetic, isn't, just pathetic listening to this and hearing these marchers. the president has to totally condemn this. this is not about winning an argument. now these folks are apparently going to go other places. they think they had some sort of victory. this is no moral equivalency between the kkk, the neo-nazis, and anybody else. >> in a rare move by military leaders, all five u.s. joint chiefs condemned white supremacist groups. we're told the president is defiant. he has no regrets even as he stays out of public view. >> that's right. two white house sources say they don't believe the president's comments will result in any long-term damage. >> yeah. they say it's not disqualifying -- you point out a low bar for a president. >>> america's ceos are abandoning the ceo president. at least eight executives quit trump's manufacturing council. a second economic strategy council was about to implode when the president tweeted that he was going to disband both of

that do you think it's important, david bossie, just from you personally knowing the president and the hill for him to put out the hand to jeff flake, to lindsey grahamtics there is the front of the hand and the back of the hand. like dealing with your children, you know. and politicians are similar. they want to attract two-to-a strong leader who is popular. his popularity, they think in their states, they are all calculating. does help him or does it hurt him? i think that the president's popularity. brian: what would you advise the president when it comes to these guys in some cases have let him down by being critical of his policies? >> i think on a case-by-case basis, you can look at some of these senators and say you know what? we are going to be opposed to you. and other senators is he going to say we can work through. this i think it is a case -- it's not a blanket policy. steve: just take a look at what he is going to do tomorrow. is he going to phoenix. he is going to have another rally and dr. kelli ward, who he essentially has embraced to replace jeff flake probably going to be there. >> yeah on senator flake i don't know if he is going t
