he would usually have top billing on our broadcast on a normal evening, and that's jeremy peters, politicalorter for "the new york times." jeremy, while this probably didn't change a single republican mind in that building behind you, a lot of people today did kind of reach their capacity for the new normal, a president who would say this about a death toll of americans on an american territory on the eve of landfall of a hurricane on the main land. >> exactly. a president, brian, who it seems at times has to be reminded that puerto rico is full of americans. everybody born there is an american citizen. but this is donald trump once again, not just showing an incapacity for empathy, but an inability to accept any type of responsibility, and an inability not to make everything about himself. i mean, it's worth noting how in that tweet the word "i" was so prominent. i mean, he again is unable to take responsibility for any failure on his watch because he will never acknowledge that it's a failure. he still won't acknowledge he lost the popular vote. he said that's because people voted illegal

but that equation could change after hearing. >> jeremy peters.lical leaders in particular are looking at the kavanaugh nomination. they're frustrated. tell us why. >> because they see a chance to sell a majority on supreme court for a generation at risk of slipping away. >> what do you think can be done? >> that's a very good question. it's hard to argue republicans aren't doing everything they can to speed this along. so that's why the next few days are crucial. if are you chuck grassley, do you move the hearing few days forward? that doesn't seem like an unreasonable ask, really? republicans have been having two, trying to appear as reasonable and differential in public to ford saying, yes, we will accommodate you. we will come to you, send investigators. we won't put you in front of a public commission and make you do this on television. on the other hand, because republicans are under so much pressure from their base to get this done from an evangelical christian catholic leaders. a lot of whom were involved in the selection process of kavana

and "new york times" political reporter and msnbc contributor jeremy peters.hank you all for being here. ken dilanian, you've been doing a lot of reporting over the weekend as to how this investigation is or isn't limited. can you help us clear up who is right? the president claims they can talk to anybody. it's our understanding that's not the case. >> after the president issued that tweet this morning we heard from two sources who said, in fact, nothing had changed. there were strict limits placed on invest investigation by the white house counsel transmitted to the fbi and those limits remain in place. there's a witness list of four and does not include dr. ford which may be why her attorney is saying she hasn't heard from the fbi. it's starting to look like -- on friday, people thought there was going to be an extensive fbi vfigation probing all aspects of kavanaugh's drinking and representations about his yearbook and everything in question. that is not what is happening as far as we can tell. >> how would the investigation -- can you just give us some ex

joining me now is jeff bennett, a white house correspondent for nbc news, jaire jeremy peters. jeff, let me start with you. you've followed what's taken place over the course of the weekend. what still has to get hammered out? >> reporter: in the terms you just outlined there, those are really aimed at putting some structure around this potential expe spectacle. brett kavanaugh having to defend his name, defend his integrity. both of them in the spotlight. i think what's notable is the committee, the republican led judiciary committee says it will not subpoena mark judge. he's the childhood friend of brett kavanaugh whom dr. ford says could corroborate her story. this doesn't necessarily have to be a he said/she said die ynamif you take into account mark judge was in the room . he said he does not want to testify and the committee is not compelling him to. the question is who will do the questioning on the republican side. will it be the senators themselves? that's what dr. ford wants to see in the letter her attorneys put out. she says those senators should bear the burden of

jeremy peters and then peter baker, what is the white house seeing in those numbers?use seeing in this conversation has its developed over the last week? as we just showed the president's posture has changed completely. he was on message, he wasn't going after dr. ford, he wasn't going after ms. ramirez, he had been kept sort of in line by i guess kellyanne conway and others who set the tone and said this woman should be heard, should not be mocked or ridicul ridiculed. what changed? >> that would be one way to handle it and certainly it was the way that trump and a lot of other republicans were handling this until the pressure from the right, the conservatives and a lot of other more kind of hard right politicians started to really weigh on senate republicans. you go online, you listen to talk radio, what you're hearing is confirm him now. we don't care what these women say, we don't think they're being honest, they are being paid by the democrats, george soros is involved, all of these liberal boogie men are involved in a conspiracy to take out judge kavanaugh. and

ayesha rascoe for npr and sam stein, politics editor for the daily beast, and jeremy peters is a reporterrk times." a great panel to talk about this. why did trump switcheroo from a guy who seems like he is in the straitjacket saying nothing against this accuser and now he is trying to destroy her. >> you know, i think this is just kind of his natural instinct. looking back at those video clips, part of the reason why he is always kind of taking up for at least his allies who are accused of something is because he has been accused of sexual assault, he's been accused of these things, and he goes after the women and basically just says they are liar. >> but in this case, he knew he was guilty. >> well -- >> why does he not assume that these other guys are guilty? i'm just talk rationally. >> i can't get into this. >> sam? >> i think a lot of it is that, he would be implicating himself. but also, it's strictly partisan. he assumed bill clinton was guilty, obviously. he brought bill clinton accusers to the debate to confront hillary clinton. when it's in his self-interest, he is fine assigni

peter jeremy corbyn saying he will decide whatever the people decide.flurry of headlines over the weekend. of the realistic risks out there, are they a snap election? are they a second referendum, no deal, none of the above? sonja: i knew we would end on a cheerful note. to put it in perspective, i think the events around salzburg last week were classic events. the lack of understanding on both sides around sensitivities, red lines. it is clear that televised speech of theresa may friday afternoon set the scene for what is next. again, she reiterated that no deal is better than a fair deal, and really creates the impasse that seems to have to be off the table. you wonder how they can continue the negotiations. still around the iris question that we have not progressed in any meaningful way. the referendum, i'm not quite sure it is possible without new elections. the labour party is discussing this and i think it would have to come in the context of new elections. you have to combine those options in one. i think the chances of a no deal has increased be

peter willsman is a long—standing activist, he is an ally ofjeremy corbyn and there was outrage, not just amongst critics but some supporters ofjeremy just amongst critics but some supporters of jeremyy corbyn at those comments that peter willsman made. the dead at the time apologise, but he also said that he had been misreported and this angered many in the jewish community, many misreported and this angered many in thejewish community, many labour mps as well, and many could not believe that he was not suspended from the labour party at the time. and i think there will be some pretty strong reaction to the fact that he has been re—elected back onto labour's ruling body. we are yet to get a reaction, this news has just broken in the last 50 minutes or $0. just broken in the last 50 minutes or so. but the jeremy just broken in the last 50 minutes or so. but thejeremy corbyn goes into the new political term, if you like, mps are due back here tomorrow with this bowl of anti—semitism still hanging over him. and the real challenge to get a grip of the issue. on the same issue again, because mr corbyn spoke publicly at least for the first time following the decision frank field not to b

peter macnichol. they had fantastic memories. what a character he was! but let's turn to politics. former prime minister tony blair has strongly criticised the current labour leader jeremyr. chris, i suppose in one way we shouldn't be too surprised because mr blairand mrcorbyn shouldn't be too surprised because mr blair and mr corbyn have different views on how labour should proceed, but this takes it to a new level? it does. even the most casual observer of politics will get that there is something of a difference between the politics of tony blair and jeremy corbyn, and supporters of jeremy corbyn hearing and seeing this interview today will say, yeah, of course there's a difference, the party has changed and so long tony blair. they wouldn't be worried at all to politically see the back of him but mr blair is quite striking in saying he fears for the future of the labour party, and if he was a 21—year—old he's not certain he would join. he says it's very different from the 19805 were yes, labour had, in michael foot, a leaderfrom the labour had, in michael foot, a leader from the left but he points out that mr foot had served in government and tackled the hard left i
