jonathan swan back with us and john heilemann back with us, nbc national affairs analyst. john, home team advantage. i'm going to start here with you. our relationship with the u.k., this is all in love, actually. i'm not speaking out of school, requires you to wake up in the morning and have a pulse and just keep this relationship with our blood brothers and sisters going. the president went against that today. >> the special relationship is special in a lot of ways. and one of the ways it's special is both sides have a lot of tolerance for what the other does because of the bonds of history that are there. to get into a british prime minister's face, to cause a public rebuke of this kind is an extraordinary thing to have done. and it's extraordinary in the sense that it's hard to do. you have to go pretty far. and this morning what donald trump retweeted ms. frantz citizen, the tweets, all three of them, he was retweeting a certifiable neo-fascist, an islamaphobe, a woman who has been convicted of harassing a muslim woman wearing a hijab, someone who advocates openly abou

john heilemann, a lot to wade through there.fact that once again, like he did yesterday, the president is imploring the justice department and the fbi to go after his political opponents, using the power of the state to do that. >> yes, after acknowledging at least in some notional sense that he understood he's not allowed to do that. >> frustrated by that. >> frustrated by the fact that he can't behave like an authoritarian dictator, he's getting pretty close to it again saying i can't do anything with the department and the fbi, but go fbi and justice department, making his preferences clear. look, he's a master at changing the subject. right now, in a week in which his campaign chairman has been indicted. there's a lower level campaign aide who has pled guilty. what's happening on the mueller probe is closing in on him, being able to throw all of this stuff to go back to one of his most successful campaign rifts at least for his base, crooked sillry and throw out an all-encompassing set of charges here is par for the course f

mike emkrchael crowley, nationa security editor, john heilemann and former u.s. attorney joyce vance. it's so good to have you back here in new york where you belong, john. here's our leadoff question. have we entered the age of the rolling disclosure? >> i think we've been in the age of the rolling disclosure for a little while now. it's certainly the case that attorney general sessions high dujon i believe is the phrase you would want to apply to his affect now. he says "i have not lied, i have not lied" and even within the statement in which he is saying he has not lied, he asserts he has not changed his story. he's clearly changed his story if you go back from his confirmation hearings from today. if raises the question, even on the basic matter of the question of has my story changed and you're asserting it has not when it clearly has, doesn't that call into question whether or not you are, in fact, a liar? >> michael crowley, did we get any clarity today? >> not much, brian. we got a lot of lack of mental clarity. i do not recall, i can't recall. i guess tha

>> to build on a point john heilemann was making. the president is paying attention to a lot of things. most especially the political dynamics at play in alabama. ms. trump, she is a senior adviser, but just one of many senior advisers in this white house. of course, she is the daughter of the president, and she is a confidante of him. at the same time, the president is not listening to his daughter on all political and policy questions at all times. we saw him break with her on the paris accounts and we've seen him break with her in different instances. it's not just about embarrassment. it's also the president knows alabama. some of the political advisers around him are telling him the alabama republican party is not walk away from moore so it's not going to be easy to get him out even if you try to put your elbow down and get him out. be wary of the political calculation. >> nick, what sort of steps are republicans taking in washington to try to sort of cordon off the taint of an accused pedophile or a known sexual harasser, someo
