signed sincerely, donnell john trump, the white house, june 8, 2019. -- donald john trump, the white house, june 8, 2019. the speaker pro tempore: referred to the committee on foreign affairs and ordered printed. pursuant to clause 12-a of rule 1, the chair declares the house in recess until approximately >> "the washington post" today held discussion on cancer research and treatment. we will show you some of that next here on c-span, starting with the acting f.d.a. commissioner and senator jack reed of rhode island.

donald trump: i, donald john trump, do solemnly swear... you unclear about the schedule, you will have three hours to complete each one.

donald john trump. i don't get it. i have never gotten it.t doesn't make any sense to me why he's doing this. he's not popular where he was elected. there is no evidence he's getting more popular in places like iowa, new hampshire, south carolina. >> you can't just grade on popularity, chris. you have to grade on actions or on what they have achieved. remember, polling is a function of how people assess their time in office. de blasio has been mayor and is less popular than donald trump who is probably -- well, george w. bush may have been less popular in new york at times than donald trump, but he's down there. the people who know him best rate him worst. that's not just popularity. you have to take everything into account including job performance which i assume people are rating him on. it ain't nothing. >> no. he's the mayor of new york city. what am i? just a guy who gives out grades. >> humility. chris cillizza, thank you very much for that. >> thank you both. have a great week. >> you, too. >> joe biden says president trump has abandon

. >> i, donald john trump, do solemnly swear -- >> reporter: filing his reelection paperwork on the samegerated. >> he's been out there earlier than anybody really in any modern day president history. >> reporter: the president started the campaign with nearly $41 million in his campaign war chest, after raising $30.3 million total in the year. more than democrat bernie sanders and democrat kamala harris. trump's campaign has raised nearly $100 million since 2015, far outreaching his predecessors. this allows the trump team to spend big on advertising in key states way ahead of the general election, a concern for democrats still battling for their party's nomination. >> the democrats running are each focused really narrowly on primary voters on the left, and so they're not even engaging the larger swath of general electorate voters that they're going to need to build support with when one of them is the nominee. >> trump campaign officials believe his huge hall could even help trump expand the political map. they are considering putting resources into deep blue oregon which hasn't voted

things really changed under donald trump you said a few moments ago maybe the more hawkish elements of his a ministration maybe are put to the side and donald trump goes beyond john bolton on the like and goes and talks to beas leaders face to face is that something promising. yes of course you know georgia was always going to the more wars was the churchill thing as they said but let's not forget who the author of this process of normal resolution was it was it said could be as good as the new g.n.p. to the source this was an organizational north and so what he held a meeting with the north korean leader that to the americans by surprise this would trump has jumped to this to the to the start of this issue because you destroyed it this was a process that he had to get involved with otherwise he would be seen as being obstructionist so it's the south korean president reagan and who deserves all the credit for how this has developed thus far and it's not that these 2 leaders are now speaking and certainly donald trump and kim jong un seato develop quite a good interview passionate relationship but substantially it's very important to understand that tony sanchez b

david: when donald trump was elected, you were already retired from the military. johni retired from the military eight months at that point, never wanting to work again. david: did you know donald trump before? john: not in any way. david: you met him in the transition? john: i received a phone call in late november on a saturday. they asked me if i wouldn't consider coming up to meet with the president-elect. talk to him about going into the administration. my wife after the phone call asked me, what was that all about? i explained to her. what do you think? she said, we are a family of service. go up and talk to them. i went up the next day to talk to the president-elect. reince priebus was there. a couple of other people with it. about 10 days later, he asked me to go to trump tower. he offered me the dhs job. david: did you say you accepted right on the spot? john: up to that point in time, my lifestyle was service to the nation. obviously, i had to get out of the marine corps. i was getting too old. the opportunity to serve was something i looked forward to. dhs w

key swing states in the key swing constituencies within those states determine donald trump's fate john i think that considering the fact that at least some of the macro economic numbers appear to be doing ok with the economy that it is his election to lose and if donald trump would just stop and think just a little bit about what he could do to secure his victory i think he could win this easily if he would listen to some reasonable republicans who want to see him succeed i think he could do it easily if he were to put forward a serious plan to combat the opioid crisis or if he were to take lead poisoning seriously and put forward an infrastructure plan that finally strips out lead paint lead pipes and all of that he could do a few things like this that would get him a ton of credit in the mainstream media that would draw some support from democrats who want to do something about those issues it would stabilize them at least a little bit with some independents especially people who pay less attention day to day to politics and he could cruise through this thing but he has shown no inte

donald trump. lauren blanchard has more on john dean comparing donald trump to richard nixon. >> reporter: the key witness for democrats at the judiciary committee hearing was john dean, former white house counsel to richard nixon and frequent trump critic. >> reporter: john has been a loser for a long time. we know that. >> reporter: democrats are holding hearings to go deeper into section of justice by donald trump. after robert mueller said he could not come to a conclusion on the charges following the russia investigation. dean, a star witness for watergate was brought in for historical context. he said he has seen parallels between nixon's administration and donald trump's. >> special counsel mueller has provided this committee with a roadmap. >> reporter: ahead of hearing the justice department agreeing to turn over some of the underlying evidence from the mueller investigation. including files used to determine whether or not the president obstructed justice. >> we have a responsibility to do this work chairman is showing authority. >> it appears we have an issue when he was elected presiden

terms of contrast i think someone like you to judge is probably about as different from donald trump as you can get john. i think again it's sort of matter in terms of what you mean by a response i think that a substantive response to donald trump would be to counter the sort of photo populism that donald trump ran on a populism grounded in racist appeals in a phobia needless cruelty and all of that with an authentic populism that someone like bernie sanders or perhaps in elizabeth warren could run on that acknowledges in the way trump pretended to the economic realities that americans have been struggling with for decades but while putting forward an actual plan that would do something about it but like i said i think that if biden ends up winning i think that that is a response as well it's a response by the american people who'd be saying we want someone who at least appears to be competent for the position and so i think that the sort of the dual pass between those 2 is going to be very interesting to watch as the primary proceeds who do you who would you bet on at this point i know we're way out bu

briefly because we've got about 2 minutes left is donald trump still on a collision course with iran is he on a collision course with himself if he listens to john bolton because if donald trump is tilting the other way what's the point of john bolton and is he if he doesn't do what john bolton would like him to do or his 3 key allies in the region on a collision course with each other. well i think it's clear that there is increasing disagreements between trump and both and and one can only hope at this point that trump will replace both and by a sigh and compel indeed by people who are less. involved in basically fanatical anti event nion plans which just are completely ignoring the dangers that these involved i think for the m.b.a.'s certainly wants to do you know would be probably voting with the boat and pump a 0 in in this argument and he definitely wants to do something but i think what is clear is that you know one wonders to what extent particularly m.b.a.'s is aware of his own military weaknesses. i mean the whole yemen operation is demonstrates that the saudi military aren't exactly the most brilliant and competent in the world and if

donald trump. >> if i'm donald trump i'm confident that john roberts will be with me at the end of the day. ially visa v. the has been one of roberts core values since he got out of law school >> donald trump and john roberts were stuck with each other like it or not. >> we ask the chief justice and his court to fied us through the treacherous waters even as they are themselves under siege. i think everyone in the building has ha deep understanding that these are fraught times and they better get it right. >> gloria borger reporting for us. excellent report groeria. >> thank you. >> very timely as well. one of the next issues roberts has to choose sides on? >> right away we see the questions of executive authority, wolf. you see the subpoena fights going on between the judiciary committee and the white house counsel and that's ending up in front of the supreme court. over the long time as i said in the piece you are going to see abortion come back before the court. you're going to see more civil rights cases before the court. more gay rights cases before the court. so justice roberts -- he h

senator john donald trump's visits in japan. secretary patrick shanahan directed his chief of staff to speak with the white house military office and reaffirm his mandate that the department of defense will not be politicized john mccain was a u.s. senator and former navy fighter pilot he was shot down during the vietnam war and held prisoner betha 5 and a half law is in 2008 he was the republican nominee for president but lost to barack obama he was learned from his vocal opposition to many of president trump's initiatives and the 2 frequently traded for the 2 frequently traded political bobs until mccain death last year. where on donald trump posted on twitter that he wasn't aware of the request but investigative journalist dave lindorff told us he believes that it's likely trump who was behind it. the idea that they would have. had this ship covered you know the name of the ship had to try to have the ship moved kept the sailors from showing up at the trump event who would have had you know on their hats the rating of the name

donald trump is not backing down in mexico. some are leery about the situation. here is more from john lawrence. >> reporter: tariff talks continue in washington, d.c. >> we have 80% in favor. 20%. >>> president donald trump and tweets from great britain calling on mexico to improve its enforcement other ways a 5% tariff on mexican goods goes into effect monday. >> i think the best outcome of this is to have mexico assist what is happen on the southern border. >> mike pence taking part in discussions wednesday but some in washington, d.c. have concerns about this standoff, namely, republicans. >> there is not much support in my conference for tariffs, that is for sure. >> they are worried about the rim el affect. >> it cannot survive in the current form with the increasing number of tariffs on mexican goods. it will not work and it will immediately affect the american consumer. >> others below freezing his line in the sand with mexico is appropriate and necessary. >> people have endured much worse than an expensive avocados or a few more dollars here or there to protect the country and

here is the recording of a voice mail that will donald trump's lawyer john dowd left for michael flynn's attorney on the day that michael flynn with drew from a joint defense agreement with the trump team. >> hey, rob, this is john again. maybe i'm sympathetic and understand your situation but let me see if i can't state it in starker terms. if you have -- it wouldn't surprise me if you've gone on to make a deal with and work with the government. if, on the other hand, we have -- there's information that implicates the president, then we've got a national security issue. we need some kind of heads up. just for the same of protecting all our interests if we can. remember what we've always said about the president and his feelings toward flynn and that you still remains but well, in any event, let me know. and i appreciate your listening and taking the time. thanks, pal. >> joining us now, congressman who is going to have to evaluate that as evidence congressman jamie raskin and democrat from maryland on the judiciary committee in the house and the oversight committee. barbara mckad is wit

john. i think that. donald trump is totally inscrutable and in a way that's part of his political genius and what i mean by that is that you know we've been talking about donald trump now for 4 years for 2 years while he was during the primaries and for 2 years since he's been president and he has an incredible talent for making people talk about him all the time because he never does what you expect and he does outrageous things and then doesn't follow through with them and nothing is coherent so yes as in your question of course like many observers i see the pressure of the neo cons. bolton and so on pushing him to do things which he then doesn't do we told us over venezuela he venezuela fizzled out and it was clearly a failure but it was cooked up by bolton and pompei o ditto iran so you know what we have servers are left perplexed and i you know i have no special information is it that he is their puppet and that he doesn't know what to do is he playing some clever game it's impossible to say what we have is a ki

[video clip] >> the same far left politicians crushed the dreams of african-american middle-class. the same people who threw open our borders and allowed drugs, gangs, and even legal labor to devastate our poorest american communities. you know that. [booing] our political opponents look down with hatred on our values and with utter disdain for the people whose lives they want to run. that's the way they've been doing it. and if you take a look at the african-american community, how much progress has been made, the lowest unemployment numbers in the history of our country. orlando, florida, that was president trump on the campaign trail. estimated 20,000 people inside of the amway center. record, -- "for the him host: glady

know they wanted to do it because the star witnesses that they need are those who worked for donald trump, the john of this administration, not the john dean of the nixon administration. and they can't get them. they're being blocked by the trump white house, robert mueller is resistant to testifying himself so this is what they were left with, not ideal, but they are working aggressively behind the scenes to try to figure out how to get some of those key people before their committee in the public. >> and they're being stonewalled, not responding to testify at all. laura, the former u.s. attorney joyce vance also testified. i want to get your reaction to this exchange with sheila jackson lee where she reads in the mueller rart about the call trump made directing mcgahn to fire mueller. watch this. >> mcgahn recalled the president saying mueller has to go. and call me back. when you do it, mcgahn understood the president to be saying that the special counsel had to be removed by rosenstein. what do you believe or what is your reaction to this exchange, and would you find such behavior concerning? p

nobody got a story out of that yesterday and today joe biden is well thanks to donald trump. >> this is john harris of politico. he says trump mocks his leading opponents because that's what he's always done, giving no more thought than a shark does whether he prefers to bite first in a swimmer's thigh or torso. can he operate any other way? can he help himself? >> he can't. as is usually the case with trump, psychological analysis might be more relevant than political analysis. and i think a lot of trump's obsession with biden is he is the democrat talking about trump the most and the fact that he's talking about trump the most means trump is paying attention because he pays attention to people who talk about him and he feels the need to respond, not understanding politically that he is playing right into biden's kind of sit on the lead frontrun i was talking to a trump advisor when this all was taking off who told me the night before he was on the phone with trump saying mr. president, don't elevate joe biden. he's the strongest candidate in the field. every time you talk about him, you he

briefly because we've got about 2 minutes left is donald trump still on a collision course with iran is he on a collision course with himself if he listens to john bolton because if donald trump is tilting the other way what's the point of john bolton and is he if he doesn't do what john bolton would like him to do or his 3 key allies in the region on a collision course with each other. well i think it's clear that there is increasing disagreement between trump and both and and one can only hope at this point that trump will replace both and by a sigh and compel indeed by people who are less. involved in infant basically fanatical anti event nion plans which just are completely ignoring the dangers that these involved i think for the m.b.a.'s certainly want to do you know would be probably voting with the vote and pump a 0 in in this argument and he definitely wants to do something but i think what is clear is that you know one wonders to what extent particularly m.b.a.'s is aware of his own military weaknesses. i mean the whole yemen operation is demonstrates that the saudi military aren't exactly the most brilliant and competent in the world a

do donald trump and john bolton want war in the middle east? >> you have to separate the two. nald trump does not want war. he wants u.s. strength, he wants iran not to be the hegemonic power in that region, but he does not want war, and he proved that the in a way that raised a lot of eye brows when months ago he announced unilateral withdrawal from syria. judge: that resulted in the resignation of his then-defense chief, didn't it? >> it did, and some others in the state department as well. because it opened the way for a new isis, opened the way for russia. so trump is not, if anything, if you want to be accusatory, you could say he's really at heart an isolationist, strong america. he does not want any foreign entanglements. judge: what do we care, cliff, if two foreign ships were bombed by a different country? are we the world's policeman? >> absolutely not. i agree with steve. look, in the america first foreign policy is what it's supposed to be all about, and trump has those inships. what the -- instincts. he's surrounded himself with neo-cons. these people are so excite

john hendren in washington d.c. interesting i'm comment there from president donald trump so what is the latest john in this back and forth. well you're right the president has definitely softened his tone on iran you heard him various and he wants to make iran great again he even thank the persian nation for not shooting down a manned u.s. plane that was nearby when iran shot down an unmanned drone meanwhile the president says he will initiate new sanctions against iran on monday and according to news reports here in the united states he approved a cyber attack that disabled iran's computer control of missile and rocket launching systems so he appears to be operating on a number of different levels and meanwhile my palm peo on saturday his secretary of state issued a statement with a little more bellicose rhetoric saying that among other things ron shot down that drone over international waters and not over its own territory as iran claims and pompei it goes on to say in a statement when the iranian regime decides to forego violence and meet our diplomacy with diplomacy it knows how to reach us until then our diplo

donald trump win the electoral college again. we begin tonight with the debates. now, debate winners do not necessarily win elections. let's just start with that. just ask john kerry who won every debate against donald trump and hillary clinton. keep that in mind as we discuss who won or performed the best in the two nights of democratic presidential debates right here on msnbc. we will get the most important verdict on that question next week when polling starts to come out that will show which candidates gained support or which candidates lost support as a result of the debates and it is entirely possible that there won't be any immediate movement in the polls because of the debates. the general consensus among media observers and presidential campaign veterans tonight is senator elizabeth warren outscored her opponents on night one and kamala harris on night two. count me among those who are not even slightly surprised by both of those outcomes. i have been watching elizabeth warren closely since she began her career as a politician, running for senate in massachusetts. i have been watching kamala harris demonstrate her skills since she was the district a

donald trump's skin. last night president trump called dean a "sleaze bag attorney" and said today he can't believe they are bringing in johnean, the disgraced nixon white house counsel who is a paid cnn contributor. according to a new npr poll, 22% of americans now support impeachment proceedings against the president. i'm joined by robert costa of "the washington post." elizabeth hoelzman who voted to impeach president nixon in '74. there she back then. we are going back in time tonight. robert costa, can you explain once again, i ask you to be the trump whisperer in reverse. what is it that bothers him about john dean? >> he's bothered by things from that period of american history. that's when he got his rise in real estate in the 1970s. he became a figure in american life in the 1980s. he's often spoken about nixon. i've had conversations with him about president nixon over the years. he does not like that revival being connected to him in any way so he pushed back against it. >> does he think this is guilt by nostalgia? does he think this is actually going to work? the ouija board line was pretty funny from that congr

we have been talking about what this means for donald trump and the trump family and john allen here at nbc news has a piece out where he talks about the official state visit could not come, eager to show their relationship with the united states is as strong as ever. >> to an extent, the british prime minister has almost always needed the president of the united states. so, yes, there is a sense in which that is true. brexit possibly coming up on the horizon. who knows at this stage. a lot of talk about a trade deal. that will dominate some of the conversations he has with the prime minister and, again, if you look at trump's rhetoric about a trade deal, all about coming out with no deal. having no deal to make that happen. since the checker summit, he has paired that back a bit. being able to do a trade deal with a deal with the european union. >> recently he talked about theresa may not being strong enough when it comes to negotiations with brexit. toggling between live pictures of westminster abbey as we wait for the president and first lady to depart. the president and first lad
