it is possible, perhaps that is encouraging to don junior. that is absolutely right.ority to kind of a point has chosen as the next ceo of the company, for example. but voters often abandon the best side plans a political patriarchs and i think what we are seeing happened now is that while ivanka still is the president's favourite, his kind of god child, don junior president's favourite, his kind of god child, donjunior has more natural talent when it comes to the particular types of politics that donald trump practices. —— his kind of golden child. thank you. i was thinking what the solution to this is, it is to be an only child. which i am. i am not saying the phrase the dynasty is that big. if you are the only child, you do not have any of these problems. that is all i'm going to say. i was going to say you and me both. hillary clinton said they were sick of ongoing dynasties. that was one of the reasons. indeed. back—to—school season is in full swing here in the us. and for many university students, that means taking on more debt. student loans are now the second

but don junior is the more natural successor. >> yeah.es, and he's with the more sort of down-home folk. >> right. >> you have so many fascinating anecdotes, like the one about how the president privately reacted during the trump tower meeting. you say watching cable news coverage, trump shook his head warily. he wasn't angry at don, a former white house official recalled, it was more like he was resigned to his son's idiocy. he's not the sharpest pief knife in the draw he said with a sigh. what a way to think of your kid? >> this is an important kind of insight into how trump operates. i'm told by people who know him that the way he thinks about his kids on any given day is largely shaped by how they're playing on cable news. so if they are out there representing him well and staying out of bad headlines, then trump is happy with them. if there's a bad story about them, then he's frustrated with them. that's entirely kind of how his attitude toward his adult children is shaped. so when don junior had this fiasco that dominated coverage f

i don't know who ivanka and don junior would be, but, you know, this is the absurd level at which the >> right. right. i mean this is perfect. and i think brad parscale is also demonstrating that he's an absolute match for trump world because his business dealings are really complex. there's a lot of apparent self-dealing in all of this. this is consistent with the president's ethics and values. i think he would admire a guy who might double dip here or there, might hire the girlfriend of don junior, might hire the ex-wife. this is all very consistent with how trump world operates. he's a swamp monster, and that's familiar to them. >> i spoke to mckay coppins earlier, and he wrote in his piece for the atlantic, he talked about when jared went to 2017 sporting a flak jacket over his oxford, shirt. he kind of had a good time with it. there's a real fight over who exactly is sort of heir apparent and who really represents the trump family and brand. >> well, so i read mckay's article today, and i thought directionally his reporting was correct. what's interesting is that ivanka obviously

people are starring to do because republicans are making the case that the president, don junior, hasentially been profiting off of the fact that his father is president. hunter biden was doing the same thing when his father was vice president. that said, the trump campaign says we also got $5 million 24 hours after nancy pelosi launched this formal impeachment inquiry. so in some ways there's risks everywhere for both parts. joe biden doesn't want to be talking about hunter biden's business dealings in ukraine and president trump doesn't want to be talking about the favor that he asked on that call. >> is this almost like if this damages trump, then the only good news republicans get out of it is to damage biden with it? >> he is definitely damaged. to your question, yes, that is good news. joe biden has been devastated by this. in "the washington post" there's a column by me but an in-depth report about hunter biden and ukraine, doing what you did with michael mcfaul building on the "new yorker" profile. i believe in one standard. if there was enough evidence to use a fisa warrant a

, remember, he wrote the statement in don junior's name that came out of that meeting.s play a clip, we'll come back and talk about it. >> it doesn't matter what i discussed. it's a partisan whistle blower. shouldn't have information. i had conversations with many leaders that are always appropriate. i think scott can tell you that. always appropriate, at the highest level always appropriate. >> not sure what at the highest level always appropriate means. michael cohen said, i was the one that made these payments. >> the meeting was about russian adoptions. >> let's play the clip. >> largely corruption, all the corruption taking place. we don't want our people like vice president biden and his son creating the corruption already in the ukraine. >> right there, getting pretty close to saying, yeah, i had the conversation, it was totally appropriate. here's twitter, nothing was said that was in anyway wrong. he's said the same things. received a monthly container. again, end run around campaign finance law. this is a contribution. then there was this, trump tower meeting,

newsomemocrat and also by the way, and flow me here, is the ex-husband ofwho's president trump's son don junior, back to good afternoon, blastedinwa absolutely humilted by the president at the summit today. >> i don't know what the hell happenednt to p that we do today on this ittlis 'em -- note emrrassed on it i'm absolutely humiliated by what's going on. of the idea o we pull of paris, or announce our intention to pull out ofpa ris, the idea that now he's attacking states rights,hat's humiliating and we have a responsibility to do something about that. e i administration basicaloma oo st emissions standards whenri it comes toablest. activists meantime had a day today gettinghe spot line. n urging his couerrtpaso t sugges trade negotiaemissis.nti os boris hnso theukbl dou e clpreatimor fleaders lack of participation inore green efforts including president trump. there is a viral moment com out of this all this. that's her and president trump, she was as the two crossed paths and you could say a piure's worth thousand words athere. let's take you back home. if you wereajngvieir d tgovey shut d

congress is that on august 3rd 2016 you were at a meeting during the campaign at trump tower with don junior trump son which stephen miller then a campaign advisor to trump with george nader a former blackwater colleague of yours who acts as a back channel to the saudis there moralities you're supposed to be convicted paedophile and also joel's an israeli expert on social media manipulation how come you didn't mention that meeting to congress given it's so relevant to their investigation. i did as part of the part of the investigations i certainly disclosed in the ne meetings the very new i had on in the congressional testimony you gave to the house we went through you didn't mention anything about august 26th meeting in trump tower they specifically asked you what context you have and you didn't answer that. i don't believe i was asked that question you asked whether any community for communications or contact with the campaign you said apart from writing papers putting up yard signs know what you said i've got the transcript of the conversation here. i might have been i think it was at tru

[applause] did john mann - - don junior give a great speech? i heard them. they all did. loves his country my son and my family loves this country. and two people from your state the first lady before she was first lady said there are two people that are unbelievable. you have to watch them percocet i'm not interested. i'm too busy. no no no you have to watch them. they are so great and smart. they love the country. they love you. diamond and silk. [cheers and applause] >> incredible people. what a great job and they are doing very well. our shared republican agenda profamily progrowth and 100 percent pro- america usa. usa. by the way so when is doug collins and john ratcliff. thank you. to incredible fighters also. for decades to put global interest in special interests and this state does it better to trade away your factories and sold your future to squander your tax dollars to bring this down to one foreign debacle after another all of this is respected again to say hope he doesn't do this or that to take advantage of us and i have to say in many cases, it is our alli

campaign source, it led to the intent of this speech, we're not going to see campaign runs from don junior, ivanka trump, jared kushner, more to the notion of using california, this is a place where the republican party has been decimated. even the few house seats that have existed up until a year ago, were gone. democrats defeated them, so he was trying to say that the trump family is strong, is obviously very vast and will continue to raise money for and campaign for republicans and continue to take the party in a new direction. that to me is one of the biggest takeaways from this is that we have seen the republican party change so dramatically under donald trump. it is the trump party, no doubt about it, you saw him defeat republican after republican more on the traditional gop vein even over the weekend. mark sanford is the most traditional republican to say he's going to try to oppose donald trump. he's probably not going to get anywhere under those traditional republican guidelines and values. it's another example of how donald trump the man has changed the party and they hope that w

hunter biden, we can't touch him.but don junior, kushner and ivanka? they are free game? hell, no.ld turn the script. here's the difference. biden is corrupt. trump is not. >> sean: and i'd like to know what did barack obama know about all of this.and when. great one, right it. sunday nights, full hour. life, liberty. up next, my exclusive interview. vice president pence weighs in on this very thing. discusses biden, the family dealings, ukraine, china, and the controversy over the whistle-blower. cyeah, that was, had second hand until investigation. >> sean: just sat down with vice president mike pence in new york to discuss all the controversy over the so-called whistle-blowerthat didn't hear d than complaint. we talked a lot about it.we wilw night. we also talked about the call with president trump. here's what he had to say. >> sean: let's follow this ukraine thing. it's like manna from heaven. we are now discovering the whistle-blower, it was not first-handng knowledge. even the media is now reporting in some places that there was no quid pro quo. what can you tell us? >> vice

don junior, or don't underestimate him. day at a cincinnati rally and he was doing warm-up for his father. i was struck by how he really had the crowd. it was a rip roaring speech. he's got it down much better than the ohio governor and much better than the ohio politicians who were there. he had the crowd with him. that's a limited audience. i don't know where he would run, but in the trumpian world, he is, in fact, a star and has, you know, clearly has his eye on the future. it wouldn't surprise me to see him make a real effort at least on that side of the political spectrum have a good deal of support. >> i'm so glad you brought that up. i've seen don junior campaign before -- before conservative audiences and actually why don't we just put him down as that caveat. he knows how to move conservative audiences when he starts talking about the second amendment, when he starts talking about conservism in general. you're right pieft seen h. i've seen him in conservative settings. but where could he be? it wouldn't be presiden

i think he was trying to cover for don junior who had that trump tower meeting. >> yes.bviously that was a big part of the mueller report. >> right. >> kim, you read this transcript and the question is then is it a crime? is there enough wiggle room or is it a crime? >> well, the question with respect to impeachment isn't whether it's a crime. it's a political judgment and we now see tremendous number of democrats basically making the decision that this is sufficient for impeachment. the transcript itself, i think we just see a small piece of it. when the president comes out and says everybody thought this would be such a big deal, it's the white house that unilaterally made this public, not the congress that asked for it. so we have to see additional information. there's potential campaign finance violations, that is asking for something of value that could influence a campaign. if it turns out there was more information a information that the president actually dangled the foreign aid basically as a threat, you investigate my opponent or you don't get this money, that

remember we heard this from jeff sessions, don junior. the idea of if case somebody wants to assert privilege, i'm going to say it. he said i know it's not my privilege to assert but i'm going to do so any way. if congress had not learned a lesson from jeff sessions two years ago, saying in case the president might want to assert it, aisi'm going to do it here. what's so absurd is imagine in the campaign chairman of senator harris or cory booker or elizabeth warren say whatever conversations we have right now, we are all covered. we can never have to reveal it. that would be an absurdity here. you're not covered because it was trump. >> everybody stand by. we have a lot more we need to discuss and we will right after a quick break. or nothing."table and it's definitely not "close enough or nothing." mercedes-benz suvs were engineered with only one mission in mind. to be the best. in the category, in the industry...in the world. lease the gla 250 suv for just $329 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. mercedes-benz. the best or nothi

don junior, the president's son, involved in a public campaign to oust her.in, they were openly saying -- not in secret. they were openly saying, we demand an investigation for political reasons. so there is an enormous number of facts. there's an enormous number of witnesses too here by the way. >> but, you know, garrett, when you're looking at these types of issues, why you did things may not be enough to rise to the level of impeachment because the american people must feel that it is overwhelming. you're going to nullify an election. so what categories of activity have to be involved in this in terms of on the state department level and coordination level to make this more than a bad phone call and political acumen? >> well, i think one of the clearest pieces of evidence that we have so far of just how over the line this was is the panic inside the trump white house after this telephone call. you know, the people who were involved in this, the people who saw that memorandum of conversation afterwards reacted, realizing that something very bad had gone awr

pence came, don junior came, he cares.ing who also cares about this one because it matters, john. trump won the district by 12 points and this one is close. why does it matter so much to trump? >> it matters so much, erin, because he's trying to see the climate into 2020. six in ten americans say they want a new president and the president wants to prove that wrong as he tries to re-create this. the this is the 2016 map. no, he doesn't like to be reminded he didn't win the popular vote. north carolina was a big part of that, but the president won over hillary clinton and by a pretty decent margin so what about north carolina? i'm going to bring this up. this is the district at play tonight and you mentioned the president won it by a healthy margin. we come forward. the president won the district by 12 points. why are we talking about this tonight? because of what happened in 2018. republicans got hammered in the suburbs, a revoemelt against th president of the united states that made nancy pelosi speaker and cost the major

congress is that on august 3rd 2016 you were at a meeting during the campaign at trump tower with don junior trump son which stephen miller then a campaign advisor to trump with george nader a former blackwater colleague of yours who acts as a back channel to the saudis there moralities you're supposed to be convicted paedophile and also joel zemo an israeli expert on social media manipulation how come you didn't mention that meeting to congress given it's so relevant to their investigation. i did as part of the part of the investigations i certainly disclosed in the ne meetings the very new i had on in the congressional testimony you gave to the house we went through you didn't mention anything about august 26th meeting in trump tower they specifically asked you what context you have and you didn't answer that. i don't believe i was asked that question you asked whether any community for communications or contact with the campaign you said apart from writing papers putting up yard signs know what you said i've got the transcript of the conversation here. i might have been i think it was at

. >> speak to that hypothetical, if don junior were doing that the media would be all over it.e president, the president's kids, his son-in-law, the cabinet, they have been making baseless allegations for years and there has been nothing to it. when you look at what did happen with hunter biden that is not something donald trump has been raising for years. a lot of people have been. joe biden bragged about it, literally bragged laughing saying i was over there and told them in 6 hours i'm leaving with $1 billion unless you fire the prosecutor. if that is not a quid pro quo, this is embarrassing. that the media let this go for so long but i'm glad it is being looked into but the bottom line, president volodymyr zelinsky got elected on an agenda to clean up corruption in ukraine which everybody knew was going on for years. donald trump made a gracious call congratulating him on his election and letting him know america has got his back, there are some european countries that aren't doing enough to help ukraine and they talked about that as well. >> democrats know how to talk abou

president in 2016, very much would constantly say i'm going to leave the business in the hands of don juniory con 234rik9s of interest with his businesses, this could really come back to bite him on the 2020 campaign trail. this is an issue that will fire up a lot of 2020 primary voters. this is a weak spot the nominee will be able to point to and say, he can't relate to you on the issues because he's still tied to his businesses? >> julia and anne, it's been a busy day here on msnbc this hour. i'm going to owe you one both, we have to call an end to this segment, i appreciate you sticking around. thank you. >> thank you. >>> let's now go to across the pond. there is drama there in the united kingdom. police fighting to control clashes between anti-brexit protesters today. this comes after a week of defeats. it started with members of his very own party. turned against him and seized control right there in parliament, in front of him. ending with his own brother resigning from government, dealing another humiliating blow to boris johnson. joining us now, washington bureau chief for the guard

government spending to his family's businesses and properties is only getting worse, no matter what don juniorrlier this month, politico broke a story about an international guard crew making an unusual stop at a trump property in scotland. now the air force has confirmed, it sent crews to trump's turnbury resort up to 45 times since 2015. the practice is one of several possible violations of the emoluments clause that house democrats are currently looking into. maya and paul are back with me. maya, we were talking about the substance, not the debate over what impeachment is in general, but the actual substantive things that could wind up being on the plate of house democrats for an impeachment. this sounds like one of them. >> if the president is directing in any way, subtly, explicitly, the military to make use of his resort 40 miles from the airport, when there are cheaper hotels close to the airport that the military used to use, and even members of the military are complaining because they don't get the restaurants or facilities they need, that they would be able to afford near the airpor

. >> it sounds like something don junior would do.would be what everyone would be talking about. >> it smells bad. did joe biden know his son was taking this job in a very corrupt country, ukraine, while he was the point guy from the obama administration in ukraine? he did know about it. it was very poor judgment. is there anything illegal there? no, i have to say i think most people -- most balanced people will look at that and say it was a wrong measure and oh my gosh, if a trump kid had done that it would have been front page news for months. excuse me. i think that's true. >> i wish it were. donald trump flew to houston to be there with prime minister of india. donald trump junior was in india at the same time selling trump luxury condos and purchasing $38,000 to have dinner with him. i agree with you. that should have been the front page news. >> voters don't like this. i think my biggest takeaway from all that's going on is people who supported trump in 2016 and that the democrats are hoping to win back, they are not going to wi

the problem is that there are details here and don junior tweeted out i think if my business dealingsd like hunter biden's business dealings how big a story would this be? >> that's right. >> bill: allegations that he took a billion dollars plus from a chinese investment company. >> here is a quote from the transcript we haven't put up yet that could signal what the future is for joe biden. zelenskiy says the next prosecutor general -- this person has been appointed -- will be 100% my person, my candidate. will be approved by the parliament and start in september. he is on the job. here it is. he or she will look into the situation specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue. now that can be crowd strike, it can also be burisma. if this new prosecutor is looking into burisma, we'll hear a lot more about joe and hunter biden in the next few months. >> what it highlights in anticipation of the meeting later. a lot of this eyebrow raising content came from president zelenskiy, not from the mouth of president trump. the word investigation, etc. that came from that preside
