donny. stick around.ave more to cover and we have to turn to breaking news out of the middle east where an american drone has been shot down by iranian forces. a u.s. official telling nbc news they consider it to be an unprovoked attack on the united states. we've been working on the story all night. she is in the uae just south of iran. kristen welker at the white house where she has been speaking to administration officials. courtney, you first. what exactly happened? we have conflicting reports. >> reporter: that's right. so there are conflicting reports from the united states side and the iranian side. what the u.s. military is saying is a global hawk, an rq4 was shot down by an iranian surface-to-air missile last night. what the u.s. is saying is it was in international air space at the time. the iranians, however, are saying it had drifted into iranian air space. one reason for this dispute could be the fact that iran sees much of the air and waterways in this region particularly the strait of hormu

i'm donny deutsch and i am thrilled to be here. we're exactly 500, yes, 500 days till till the presidential election. and tonight i'm going to go through the week's top stories and see how they might affect that election. lots to cover. this is "saturday night politics." >>> we've got a great group of folks with us tonight. but before we introduce them, a tip of the hat to my former friend donald trump. key word is former. what has he wanted? he wanted a wall. so we have built a wall. yes. it's the saturday night politics wall. think of it as our extra guest and it's our road map to wrap up a strategic -- the week's top stories. including joe versus the volcano. biden starts an eruption from the democratic field. trump's summer reruns make it feel like it's 2016 all over again. aoc's troubling history lesson on the definition of a concentration camp. and is the president market the iranian crisis? we'll do? debate prep. democratic presidential candidate congressman tim ryan. joining me tonight my good friend, emily jane fox. fil di

she is a good person, donny. okay? and at the end of the day, she did the best she possibly could. >> that is part of the weird thing. want to ask john because you live this every day. along those lines what was the take on her as a person? >> most people, yes, would agree she is a good person. mother, wife, certainly worked hard. no question there. that said we have to separate that from the job she was doing. >> but this is my question. can you? that is a weird thing we've come to particularly with this administration. separate it from the job? but that's what you're doing. you're lying on behalf of the president. you are so, can you? >> in a professional capacity there has not been a press brng in nearly a hundred days. this is a white house that does not -- >> is that her fault or the president? >> i think it is a combination of the two. certainly she is in a tough spot. any press secretary that is a hard job but particularly for this president who fansies himself his best communications director, best press secret

donny deutsch remains with us. donny, about beto o'rourke, this is not personal.look like he was in for a kneecapping tonight. on the other hand, because so much of this comes down to style, who do you know in life who answers a question in conversation with an antidote prior to any recognizable answer? >> you know, i think beto's problem was when buttigieg showed up frankly because i think it was the real thing underneath at first was just skin. the real thing going into tomorrow night is i would challenge all the candidates to look at the film tonight and go to o'rourke, it was from the gut when inslee said trump is the enemy. they need to understand that. going that it was interesting when castro started to say he was pissed. that image we saw today which i can't remember in a lifetime seeing an image that affected me and i think pretty much everybody that way, seeing that dad and that daughter and that arm, put that on trump's doorstep, say this is not who we are. republican, democrat, who are we? and that somehow don't just stop it, i'm pissed about that, tab

thank you, donny deutsch, anthony scaramucci. donny's show, "saturday night politics," great name, by the way. it's pretty basic, it's on saturday and it's about politics. saturday at 8:00 p.m. our weekends are booming. >>> up next, presidential candidate senator cory booker joins us with key takeaways out of a new presidential poll in iowa and much more. we've got him on. also got the mayor of new york coming on. you're watching "hardball." all. and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa" we're the webber family. we're the tenney's we're the hayles, and we're usaa members for life. ♪ get your usaa auto insurance quote today. i'm missing out on our family outings because i can't find a bladder leakage product that fits. everything was too loose. bu

deutsche. >> and we quoted you already, donnie. >> we have quoted you. you may not be thrilled with the way i did, but it was in your -- in context of the kind of branding work you have done for the democrats. i quoted you on nicolle's broadcast saying, if it's warren, they'll lose 48 states. with that as the backdrop, how did you think they did tonight? >> i want to work back for me the moment when the room came alive. when inslee said our biggest threat is donald trump. and that to still is what is driving voters and still was not touched tonight. the reason some people reacted positively to de blasio, because you saw another bully up there. he was kind of invindicating other people's spaces. cory booker had a strength. the reason people have not gone after, to this point, biden is because he is seen as the anti-trump and it will backfire at this point until he's not. so to me that is the big thing, and it was not addressed tonight. this is not an issues campaign. this is who is the bully that can beat the bully? and i think interestingly enough booker

the challenge of donny's approach, though, is the fact witnesses. the question is how many fact witnesses can really be allowed to show up. do people on the periphery, even the chris christies of the world, do they add to the body of evidence? do we need to take the report and enter it into evidence and say that's it? how do we get this before the american people and what constitutes sufficient evidence. >> i think it was sam talking about process. we've spent 18 minutes talking about process. when we have these conversations reminding people what mueller found it's a disservice, just do that for me for this hour. what did mueller find in volumes 1 and 2. >> the attorney general gave trump the ability to go out and tell the american people that the report found no collusion and no obstruction. that's not true. the report considered conspiracy, not collusion and said there was not sufficient evidence of conspiracy to indict. then the report looked at obstruction. after relating at least 12 circumstances -- 12 instances of conduct where the president

trump is just boosting the signal of donny's criticism. it's like a rockstar getting on stage and saying, (as rocker) "hello, cleveland! before we get rocking, i just heard a guy in the bathroom say that i've got a truly tiny weiner, and i just want all 30,000 of you to know that's not true. one, two, three, four!" ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) carrot in the throat. ( clearing throat ) >> jon: i know who that was. >> stephen: trump must have felt bad about his behavior because later he tweeted, "i know it is not at all "presidential" to hit back at the corrupt media, or people who work for the corrupt media, when they make false statements about me or the trump administration. problem is, if you don't hit back, people believe the fake news is true. so we'll hit back!" (as trump) "and i know it's not very "intelligent" to stick my tongue in a light socket, but if i don't, people might believe i know not to do that. so, it's time to ride the lightning down to tongue town." ( laughter ) but trump simply can't resist. this morning, an e

no, let donnie answer because i know you're going to say donald trump's evil. that's the thing about donald trump, it's all in plain view. this is a guy that just blurts out whatever is in the front of his head at the time. >> he's a bad dude but to your point, joe, it's interesting, it's almost child like -- did you take the cookie? no, i didn't take the cookie. he generally doesn't think it's wrong. that's how dimented he is that in front of the entire world, why wouldn't i? wouldn't everyone? you can almost say is he evil or just no moral compass? >> all right. >> there's no compass there to even look at. >> i just -- i want to take myself out of a box here. i never said he's evil and my reaction is not oh, he's evil. my reaction to what happened the other night when he said that is to george stephanopoulos was this is horrendous, horrendous for our democracy. he is a national security threat. and what he does is not stupidity. what he do is not evil playing out before our eyes. what he does is he manipulates the truth. he desensitizes the american public an

most people don't live your life, donny. most people are not going to read a 450 page. >> it's five sound bites. there were six or seven instances of obstruction when it came to don mcgahn. my point is i think somewhere -- >> you have made your .12 points. >> and you rebuffed my .12 times. >> that should end it then. >> you like to say you're buff. you should probably take that as a queue to move along cow biboy. it's interesting that donny deutsch could be so wrong. >> i knew that was coming. >> yeah, he wrote a book called "often wrong never in doubt" alex reminds me, but you know, there is a reason why donald trump fears robert mueller in front of the tv cameras with the nation's attention turned to him more than anything else. how many people watched, i mean, god, 40, 50 million people on and off have seen system like this before. i remember back in, i think it was '87, the country in the middle of the summer stopped dead in its tracks and watched lieutenant colonel oliver north testify for several days. just stopped. ro

here's the thing, donny.nless democrats move forward on the language of the constitution, we don't have criminal enterprises listed in the constitution. it's impeachment. it's an opportunity to educate the american public about what the process is. it's not removal of the president but it's holding him accountable. and i think the window is closing for democrats to be able to do that. and then they run the risk, frankly, that he does win reelection. i just saw a poll recently saying that 55% of the american public actually believes he's going to be reelected. even though he holds low numbers. so you do that, and then trump says, you know what, the american people voted for me, they knew what i was all about, the democrats won't have the ability to hold him to account. >> maya, and i'm just a strategist, i'm talking about a 20-month business plan, once you give him impeachment, he's a very single minded club guy. you give him that one tool, they're coming to take me away, they're taking your president. there a

"mtp daily" starts with chuck todd right now. >>> if it's tuesday, the campaign that never stopped officially begins. and ahead of the president's big re-election rally, there are signs he's got some big problems. tonight, i'm talking to one of the 20 plus 2020 candidates vying to take him on. plus, cabinet chaos and a lack of leadership. the number of vacancies in the trump administration is so vast a , an acting secretary is now being replaced by, wait, an acting secretary. perhaps the best

. >> so donny deutsch, our colleague had a different take on it, peter.o what he said on morning joe yesterday. >> the word is criminal. it is the trump criminal investigation. that is the branding. it is criminal. you continue a criminal -- that is the word, guys -- brand him or convict him already. >> so donnie knows branding. and so that where he's coming from. he's saying basically, impeachment has a bad, bad -- is a bad word as the president said. what do you make of donnie's suggestion there, that democrats have a messaging problem in this whole thing? >> well, the problem is i think in washington these days because we are so polarized, we are so divided into the tribes that there is not sort of a dispassionate consideration of the evidence. is there enough to accuse him of high crimes and mirdss or not and everything is seen through the political lens and it is not surprised that nancy pelosi will make the calculations and getting 20 senators to break from the president are slim. branding is in fact the president's strong point. it is something tha

i'm donny deutsch. let's get right back to the wall. the untouchable president.eller's real life activation not indicting a sitting president begs the question what is the criminal tipping point for this and future presidents. ari, this is memo, an obscure 1973 memo. and in 2000 it was upheld. what has to happen for you to be able to indict a sitting president? this was a process crime. just handicap this for me. >> it's an open debate because the constitution doesn't give you a firm textual answer, but, look, for a long time the view has been you don't indict a sitting president. and you can ask presidents johnson, nixon and clinton when asked if there is a view correct or not you did something bad in office. and everybody knows it goes over to congress. i think it cuts both ways. it cuts to mr. barr because he's playing dumb, aka, misleading about the issue. but it also cuts in some degree for the president. because if mueller wasn't going to do more of an impeachment referral, i think it is least the body of precedent, the larger support for the view among leg

i could tell you about my cousin donny who was a vietnam veteran. his last act at the factory was to unbolt the machine from the factory floor, put it in a box, and ship it to china. people from that factory have to do the same thing to mexico, and then go down to mexico and train the workers who would eventually take their jobs. i could go back just a few weeks to the general motors factory just outside youngstown, ohio. used to be 16,000 people in the factory. two days after thanksgiving, they laid off the final shift. and the reason i tell you this is, when these factories close, i know who is working in them. they are my friends. they are our family. when these things happen, when someone dies of an overdose, there is a good chance we know who they are. and i believe it is going to be critically important for the next president of the united states to deeply, deeply understand what is happening to the working-class in the united states of america. we see and hear, the economy is going great, the stock market is up, the unemployment rate is down.

i agree with donny deutsch in terms of, you put a donald trump against any of these candidates and heould dominate the room, while, again, to shawn's point and others that you played in some of those clips, they didn't talk about addressing in any real way solutions around in a immigration, health care, what they would do to make this economy better, if that is possible considering the way it is going. yeah, from a technical perspective, msnbc losing their audio. i thought they were going to blame the russians or the kgb but that didn't happen. everything went wrong. >> sean: i thought the russians didn't. >> can i make one point that it got lost in the discussion here? i agree with joe absolutely, the idea that they spend more time on set design then figuring out whether or not people could hear or listen to the debate it's been a much ridiculous. but the other thing that is interesting in this whole deal, if you look at this whole last cycle, the republican one back in 2016, the first night that fox hosted the debate in cleveland, we had 24 million people. at last night, 15 million

i could tell you about my cousin donnie, who was a vietnam vet 15 years ago. his last act that he did at the company he worked for was to unbolt the machine from the factory floor, put it in a box, and ship it to china. i could tell you a story just a of a general motors plant in my district that used to have 16,000 workers that is now idle. and what i want you to know here in south carolina is that when those factories close, i know who works in them. they're my family. they're my friends. and the middle-class has been getting screwed now for 40 years. it's time for us to reclaim our place in the american democracy that we have here! and we do this, my friends, by building again in the united states of america, by making things again in the united states of america, by filling these factories where we make the electric vehicles, where we make the batteries, where we make the solar panels, where we reverse climate change by putting the american people back to work. , my friends, by moving forward -- by moving the center of gravity in the democratic party back
