brooke the yin to kaitlyn's yang. >> we kind of balanced each other out. she was a girly girl and i was more the tomboy. so i'd go to her house. and change into a thousand outfits and try on makeup and do our hair. and then she'd come into my house. and we'd ride four wheelers and play on the farm. >> reporter: sounds like you two were almost more like sisters? >> oh yeah, we even fought like sisters. we -- >> reporter: that's when you know you're good friends. >> yes, yes. for sure. >> reporter: this is brooke's real sister brittany and their mom, tina. what did she like to do -- >> clothes. clothes -- >> very very girly, loved doing hair and stuff like that. >> she was just a girly girl. >> reporter: a little southern belle? >> uh-huh, yeah. >> yes, yes. >> reporter: the little southern belle grew into a beautiful young woman. sometime blonde, sometime brunette, brooke always drew people into her lively orbit. >> really spontaneous, fun, hilarious, just the life of the party, could literally make friends with anyone. >> reporter: dina renee was one of th

first of all, i want to start with that last line from kaitlyn's story. that shows the devotion of mr. trump supporters. the man he called out. if the economy goes south, could that loosen republican support, especially from moderate republicans? >> i think that's the big question. trump probably has about 30 to 35% of his support here's are going to support him, no matter what. even if they make fun of him. they're going to support them because they truly believe that he is as the supporter mentioned, the best thing that ever happened to the country. and they identify with the way he wants to run the company. particularly the way he starts stoking identity politics and making them feel lying their voices are heard. economists are forecasting that we may enter into a recession fairly soon. by the end of next year even. and trump has been trying to add to his appeal by saying, i'm the one that is personally responsible for this great economy, this wonderful tax cut that i had is going to spur all this economic growth, improve manufacturing, increase invest

thank you very much pb kaitlyn collins. i want to go outfront to brad snyder, democratic congressman. he returned from a rip to israel. you know a lot about what is happening here right now. sir, look, i want to start with this. at the heart of this, for people who may not follow the specific details of a boycott movement. you have been critical of some comments these congresswoman have made about israel, the support that they have for the b.d.s. movement boycotting israel. you have called that movement anti-semitic. introduced a resolution. >> it is. >> opposing it. i'm just making it clear. you don't agree with them. you don't agree with any of their point of view on this. but you think they should be let into israel, right? >> absolutely. i've been critical of their attacks on the u.s. israel relationship, support for the boycott divestment and sanctions movement process. i called that movement anti-semitic for two reasons. first because it's absolute diadem of jewish aspiration for a state in israel. and its revisal to

. >> kaitlyn, thank you very much. in berkeley heights, let's continue on, more now on the president playing the fear card in the economy. i'm joined by sara isker. nice to have you on. you heard kaitlyn's reporting, an administration official acknowledging they don't have a plan for the possibility of a recession. what do you make of that, and what do you think that signals? >> well, the president has to run a different race this time than he did in 2016. this time he is the economy. if the economy tanks, he knows there is no path to re-election. his approval numbers are underwater, but we have seen presidents re-elected when the question is strong. there's another year and some months left to go, he can't see those numbers improve. those numbers have remained fairly steady above 50% on consumer optimism which he needs to hold strong. which may be why we're seeing a lot of the rhetoric than we are. >> this is from the washington post today. that the president's economic advisers are actually coming to him and deliveri

kaitlyn. so what does it mean for government to speak for the people. to what dough agree should elected officials be bound to public opinion? and how should that relationship actually be facilitated and practiced? and i decided to begin to answer these questions, i wanted to go back and needed to go back to the founding of representative democracy in the 18th century. so what i quickly realized was how these questions were central to the founding, and how they were left then and remain today largely unanswered. much of the political history of the united states, i think, comes down to a repeated rehashing and reset element of these fundamental questions. so in short the instability of the meek of democracy continues to generate deep disagreements in american political life. so the 1790s i think is critical for identifying the way that americans first grappled with these questions and paradoxes of representative democracy. and what we are witnessing right now, i think, is the break down of a delicately constructed legitimacy of representative government

what are people saying to you, kaitlyn? >> right.ly just had a poll that was done out in the field earlier this month. and we served 568 likely republicans and the results came in and they said 95% of them said they would vote for president trump if he was on the ballot today with mark sanford only to 2% said they would vote for mark sanford, a former south carolina governor and a former south carolina congressman. on the one hand, again, we're getting back to that question that is really interesting. you would think that sanford would fair better here than maybe any other early presidential primary state given his high name id, given the fact that people know him and for some republicans, that they trust and like him. that name id comes as a double edge sword. he disappeared and hiking the appalachian trail. that's not what he was doing. he was actually with his argentinian mistress. on the one hand, republicans are saying here don't do it. don't waste your time. we see 62% of the same republicans want to see the south carolina repu

. >> i mean, kaitlyn, some analysts believe being anti-israel policy is not the same as being anti-semitic. but, of course, all of this follows after president trump defended the neo-nazis in charlottesville and israel isn't banning him. it's all so political at this point. >> you have to look at comments that members of congress have made the president is condemning and what he's not. they're focusing on calling themselves the squad. steve king, a member of the president's own party has made comments he's come under fire for recently saying there may not be any population left if there isn't rape or incest. the president was asked about that yesterday, he said he had not been briefed on the matter, not fully seen the statement but said it was a troubling statement. it's easy to see who the president is targeting here. t i'm not sure the president is going to draw the distinction that israel is drawing between a political visit and one to visit your family. i still think the president may have an issue with them allowing her to come in to visit her 90-year-old grandmother. i don't think he

kaitlyn collins outfront live outside the white house. what are you learning about what the president is going today and say tomorrow. >> he heads to ohio and then to texas. during the stops the president plans on meeting with first responders, the law enforcement and even some of the victims while he is there. and of course on the trips as we have seen in the past the spt known to make some impromptu remarks. something white house a.i.d.s. are not ruling out right now, erin. but of course something else going -- a problem the president has to deal with is the local officials saying they don't think it's best for the president to come. they've been pretty vocal about saying they think that right now the president should stay away from their cities because they are still grieving. white house officials are downplaying this brushes ing off the criticisms saying if the president didn't go in the aftermath of the shootings that the president would still face a round of criticism from similar people. but of course you hear from people like the

kaitlyn jilin agrees with that her brother also killed himself then only 6 months later her father died in his sleep. suicide is a major problem across montana in livingston like many other small towns here there aren't enough psychologists kaitlin says waiting lists are months long in part due to health care cutbacks. she speaks openly about her despair one evening i was. i was exhausted and alone and broken so i took some pills with the goal of ending up with my father and brother. only a couple know this part about me like 2 people. oh but i want people to know that we all have our bad days but i don't think god god is done with us yet. i can over then tell myself that i'm ok. the american suicide prevention foundation coordinates private and state initiatives and events like this fundraising walk are springing up all over the u.s. it's a 2 mile walk through largely deserted suburban streets can it really do any good yet it's a small town so when anything goes on. so i think about super important but they didn't have a lot of advertisement for the event so hopefully this is just the

yesterday the white house made clear as kaitlyn notice, never mine, we have existing background laws. we don't noted to do this. now president saying he wanted to do something model. we don't know. the answer is we don't know because it changes day to day, minute to minute. here's what we know. unless the president is very clear, very specific and very skin, republicans heading into an election year will not touch the issue of gun control. so for something to happen, the president needs to be skin, specific, consistent, specific, and today, and in recent days, after the last mass shooting, he's been anything but. >> the only way to deal with an intractable issue is to throw full weight of the presidency behind and it to push and push and to not really let off the gas. right? >> yes. he could come forward and say, this is a hypothetical. we'll do this improvement. what we believe to be an improvement to background checks. i will support this grant program to the states for red flag laws to do a better job to keep people with mental illnesses, to keep them from getting weapons. they thi

with me now, national immigration reporter with the new york times, kaitlyn, first of all, explain howble to change the rules, how that would impact the immigration system and specifically these children. >> the idea hoar ere is to mini the number of people crossing the border. this has been a pet project for president trump since day one. when you hear him talk about legal loopholes, highs talking about family detention. if they can detain families indefinitely, that it will deter people from am coulding to the united states. >> what do you think? >> it's possible. we talked about various deterrence measures and whether they're going to work. we don't have evidence so far that they do. you bear down on all the people trying to cross the border right now, to now wait in mexico, before crossing the border or wait months before they can get on a line to the united states border to try to apply for asylum, there's so many different things keeping people from coming in, and when they do enter, going into these facilities, where conditions have been discussed, very difficult, not enough foo

. >> kaitlyn mentioned the last visit here when he echoed some of those comments about this frontier, which as folks realize, juarez, mexico is about a mile away. and what has struck me since being here is these communities are very much intertwined. there's not a sense of this being a berlin wall between mexico and the u.s. people move back and forth, families are split on both sides of the border. do you believe that the president's rhetoric has fueled this kind of violence? >> i do believe that. you can see many reflections, especially within the manifesto, that the suspect in this crime wrote that are very, very similar to a lot of the rhetoric that the president has utilized. >> did it make a difference, though, when you heard the president in the wake of this say, call out white supremacy by name and domestic terrorism? did you see that as a positive step? >> it's about time that that happens, but paying lip service doesn't do us any good, okay. you know what the president can do is stay in washington. we at the county had an emergency meeting yesterday and we are planning on ap

kaitlyn cal lynns is outfront. what is the white house saiding about the president's promise to pardon aides to break the law to build the wall what is the response. >> they say the president is joking when he told aides he would pardon them if they had to break the law in order to get his wall built before the 2020 election. but of course we should note they did not deny that the president made the remarks. remarks he made before to the acting d.h.s. secretary about pardons. but of course our sources are telling us this comes as the president has been expressing in urgent need to get the wall finished by the next election. he has been telling aides essentially his re-election depends on it being built at least part of the wall being built but as you noted no new wall has been built even though the president and his aides insist it has. only existing barrier that was already deteriorating has been replaced. but really what we're told a lot of this talk about pardons if you need to break the law to get the wall buil

this is a name we are hearing be floated, kaitlyn collins reporting that nick ayers is being considered. he was actually considered to the white house chief of staff but turned that job down because he wanted to hold it for a short period of time. that is in part because he knew that one or more senate seats would become open in georgia and he wanted to be considered for that. he is very close to ivanka trump and jared kushner and the trump white house. could be an interesting name that could emerge. one big thing we found out today, though, alex, is that stacey abrams, who had a razor, a small margin of a loss to brian kemp in that election back in 2018 for the governorship there, she has said that she will not run for either of these two u.s. senate seats, which will now be open in 2022. >> ryan nobles, thank you very much. >>> another extraordinary development, the president reportedly offering pardons if his aides break the law to fast track that border wall of his. >>> plus in yet another incident raising red flags, the attorney general plans a $30,000 holiday party at the trump ho

kaitlyn collins joins me now. your reporting is that white house officials have met with nra officials in the last couple of days. >> they've been in conversation with them, a question that a lot of people have. you saw the president come out this morning, express an openness to potentially expanding background checks, which would be a move for the president. in the past we've seen him back off of it after he sat down with nra leadership. the president has not met with nra leadership yet. we do know his top aides are having conversations with them. that's coming into question. but also whether or not they have the political power to get the president to change his mind on a stance like that. often with this president, you've seen him in places like where he is today. he's coming here to the scene of this mass shooting, visiting with first responders, victims of the hospital right now, later going on to el paso. he tries to match his tone with where he is, meeting with victims, explaining background checks. when he

cnn's kaitlyn collins has that. want to start off quickly with the storm and what the president had to say about it he's going to do a briefing at the fema headquarters he said he's not worried about his own officials. following cnn reporting saying that a lot of people who will be surrounding the president and shepherding him through this storm are going through officials not confirmed in their positions. for one, the fema administrator is an acting person it was person nominated hasn't been confirmed and of course his dhs secretary has not been confirmed either. the other thing he's not worried about is mar-a-lago. the president said based on the briefings he's received is in the direct path of whenter storm is projected to go right now. he said he's not worried about anything. he said it is going to be fine. he's more concerned that state of florida. >> he was asked about the sudden resignation of his personal stand. what did he have to say about that? >> she's not this household name. her departure was pretty ab

aaron jordan and kaitlyn dickerson told the story of maria isabel bueso who came to this country at 7quest of american doctors in california who were conducting clinical trials for the treatment of her rare disease that i for one have never heard of. there's the full formal name of the disease on the screen, the professional shorthand for it is mps 6, it causes spinal cord compression and other growth abnormalities. isabel is now 24 years old. she has been participating in medical studies throughout her life in the united states. her doctor told rachel maddow tonight that he could not have done his life saving clinical research without her. he credits her with helping researchers with what he calls a dramatic breakthrough that has helped people with her disease live longer. they can now live longer than 30 years. they used to rarely survive past 20 years. isabel graduated summa cum laude from california state university and last week she received a letter saying if she doesn't leave the country within the next 33 days, she will be deported. her doctor and her mother say that that lett

first, let's bring in kaitlyn call lnz, our cnn correspondent, catherine "the washington post" opinion columnist and cnn political commentator. okay, john, where are we starting? >> we want to start with israel first. >> the president wants these two sitting u.s. lawmakers to be blocked from going to israel because he has claimed they have made anti-semitic remarks. some people believe they've made anti-israel policy remarks. anyway, israel complied and blocked them. and this morning on humanitarian grounds because rashida talib's grandmother is 94 years old, she'll be able to go. >> the time line is pretty clear of what happened because just last month the israeli ambassador to the united states ron dermer said, yes, they were going to allow them in. we were being told by israeli officials they didn't want to get involved in the president's political fights here especially as he's tried to target these four congresswomen because he essentially wants them to be his foil in 2020. but after the president publicly urged them not to do so on his twitter feed, he also later conceded he had

kaitlyn, what are you hearing about all of this? >> well, kate, that wasn't going to be a pretty backdrop for the president going to pennsylvania to this manufacturing town today where the white house said he was going to tout their economic accomplishment, something that the republicans want the president to focus on, the economy gains, but it will come with the mind-belowing receive did it dollars and the stalled trade talks with china that have been putting fear in investors and spooking the markets. so we're getting this news about this delay, even though we know that companies in the background have been lobbying the white house for exemptions from some of these tariffs that the president had said he was going to go full throttle with and that was a few weeks ago when the president made those remarks. and now we're going to be seeing him go to the petrochemical plant and now we've got the news about it changing and you're seeing the markets start to surge. it's something the white house has been keeping an eye on in recent week

our white house correspondent kaitlyn collins joins us. the president blamed the shootings on a lot of things, but not necessarily on the weapons or on his own rhetoric. >> reporter: yeah. he also didn't introduce major new gun laws he thinks should be passed, proposals like that. wolf, he also didn't mention the background checks. he first tweeted this morning something that caught white house aides off guard. they didn't think it was wise what the president was proposing in the tweet which was linking background checks to potential immigration reform. as the president addressed the nation hours later at the white house, wolf, he did denounce bigotry and white supremacy and vowed to do something. now the question is what is it that the president is going to do. >> our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy. >> reporter: tonight, president trump is condemning white supremacy after two mass shootings in less than 24 hours. >> these sinister ideologies must be defeated. >> reporter: he's offering few details on what he'll do

he basically said to me, kaitlyn, it's just too much and called last week the worst week of the president. >> he cited the way he acted at the scenes of two mass shootings where the president was talking about crowd sizes or photo of smiling with the orphan. for people inside the white house who do still support the president and don't speak critically of him privately will be why is this happening now. is this really what you thought was the worst? actually the more things like that happen we saw last week, we talked to people in the white house who said they did not think that trip went well. they tried to plan it, didn't think it went great. of course, it's a more muted reaction from two years whaeng something like this happened. people in the white house, my god, what happened, people are texting about it. now they shrug their shoulders. we weathered so many storms, what's this one going to make a difference. >> you have to wonder how much influence, how much sway does athony scaramucci have? >> he has no electoral votes. >> he's not running. we learned that when you asked him. i do m

kaitlyn, tell us about how and why president trump is feeling, quote, rattled. >> you've seen the presidenthing out recently talking about roopuerto rico, the econo the border wall. a lot of what this boils down to we're told is right now the president is realizing what we thought he was going to be able to safely bank onto run on in 2020 the economy is not essentially what he expected it to be. he's become worried in recent days about the potential of an economic downturn. he's seen his aides disagreeing with one another how exactly they're going to stave it off. even privately they're admitting a lot of it has to do with his ongoing trade war with china which is also dragging on longer than the president expected. and that is why you see the president turn back to things like the border wall where he joked he would pardon aides if they broke the law to get his wall built. a lot of is because the president knows he needs an accomplishment to run on in 2020. he's turning back to old promises like building that border wall and that is why you're seeing him urge aides to get this done because

kaitlyn?tates, and you will obey this executive order that i have -- am trying to enforce because of a supreme court decision. this is how our laws work. but also he doesn't directly call out -- he calls out like the police there in little rock, but he puts the emphasis really on these demagogue extremists, the people, rather than the government there, the local government and governor fabis. i'm from little rock so, like, this is important to me. but he doesn't really call out the local government there for really enforcing anything which is interesting because i think in some ways he's trying to -- he's not trying to isolate and push them away for not doing their job basically, but he's putting the emphasis really on the people and these mobs and that they're out of control, but it's not really the politicians that are really to blame for this. >> why do you think he does that? what's the goal? because that's on purpose the way he frames it. >> i think he's trying to, like, keep them in -- d
