mark sanford is in from south carolina.se are important early primary states, and that is under direct pressure from the trump administration because they have no confidence in themselves. they're showing a total insecurity that we didn't see for example by barack obama or bill clinton in '96 and 20 2we68. so they are -- this is the first time we've seen that type of thing happen since 1992 when george h.w. bush put pressure on iowa and south dakota to not include pablo, which helped spark the revolt that pablo then got in new hampshire. >> all right. thank you guys both. appreciate it. still ahead, a top republican says trump needs to step up on gun reform. i'm going talk to the mayor of dayton, ohio who joined democrats today calling for action. plus, shock and confusion as evacuees fleeing the bahamas are forced off of a vote headed to the united states. we'll be right back. e united st. we'll be right back. that sophie opened up a wormhole through time?

>> no, you know, i know mark sanford well. i like him as a friend.mp's going to win the primary. i think every state should have a primary. let people have their voices heard. that's a very american thing. and in the party, if there's people that want to vote against president trump, it will be their opportunity. and then they'll all unite behind him in the general. but i think cancelling a primary, it just sends a bad message and it takes away people's right to be heard. >> does trump have your vote in 2020? >> yeah, he will. >>kinzinger, thanks so much for being here. >> you bet. see you. >>> coming up, the desperate effort to save hundreds of cats and dogs as hurricane dorian sent water pouring into a bahamas animal shelter. johnson & johnson is a baby company. but we're also a cancer fighting, hiv controlling, joint replacing, and depression relieving company. from the day you're born we never stop taking care of you. from the day you're born it's true, the big wireless companies have great coverage. great coverage... that's because of all these

>> i spo ek to mark sanford on the phone earlier today about this exact subject.seems to think that president trump's support among republicans is softer than it would appear in those numbers. and if someone else were to truly challenge him, they'd be willing to defect from president trump. but i asked what the goals are of his campaign. he said the first thing is to draw attention to the balloons u.s. deficit. and the second thing he'd like to do is win. the order of those two answers really tells you something about what he intends to achieve. >> okay. so if that's the argument, then lisa, is it really irrelevant that he is running? >> i don't think it's irrelevant. i think he faces extremely, exceedingly long odds of beating donald trump because, you know, in part because beating an incumbent is really hard but also because of how beloved donald trump really is in his own party. the question here is really twofold. first of all, does he potentially weaken donald trump in a general election by raising concerns about spending and fiscal responsibility that could

mark sanford joins me now. how are you? >> good. pleasure to be with you. >> which stooge would you be? >> i don't know. >> if you mount the serious race against the president you can expect tweets like these. >> certainly. >> this is what he does. what's your response? >> my response is we need a change from the way he's pejorative on everybody what's weird, think about this for a moment, as a republican, i voted with him 90% of the time, 90% of the time, and in normal political circles, in the business world and family world, i love my brothers and my sister but i'm not with them 90% of the time nor are they with me 90% of the time. but part and parcel to human relations is accepting there can be differences. but right now the sun, moon and stars too often basically orbit around donald trump. if it's not personal allegiance to him, or idea allegiance, if it's not personal allegiance, it's not good enough. what i would hope to do is to break from what he's doing, which is to criticize everybody and everything that's not within his

he is including mark sanford, so that is his view. his high approval rate within the republican party, it does not appear he has too much to worry about. let's get to read from karl rove, on this, what do you think? >> i don't think he has much to worry about, look, joe walsh was one term congressman from illinois. he endorsed white supremacist who was running in a primary challenge to paul ryan. he was a shock jock on radio. he is not going to go anywhere. mark sanford was a capable governor of south carolina who blew himself up over an affair with an argentinian while he was governor saying he was on the appalachian trail. you know, you've got to contrast yourself when you come in. and on sunday, he was talking about humility and character, and neither one, none of those things talk to her character. bill weld, a wonderful governor of massachusetts did a terrific job, resigned in order to become bill clinton's ambassador to mexico. that was in 1997. and then he ran for vice president on the libertarian party ticket in 2016. and so h

kennedy: what the hell else is mark sanford doing? >> nothing. apparently he got all the steps on his fitbit when he went for that hike -- how about that? if you lost colbert, my god. [laughter] i really think the end result is going to be it will help the president from a standpoint of he's at his best when he's outnumbered. and the more outnumbered he is, the better he becomes because he's very good at painting himself as like a victim somehow. i don't know how. can. kennedy: maybe he can get little marco rubio and -- >> oh, bring him back in. kennedy: kasich? >> where is kasich out there? he's got to be out there -- >> doing really important work as a contributor on cnn. >> ask him whether -- kennedy: mccabe, snuggle. >> tell him not to order any fete chinnial grade doe -- fete chinnial grade doe. kennedy: that's racist. any time you sayal grade doe in concert with cnn -- the panel returns later. we're going to talk about trump. yeah, they're starting to have kids, and those kids are driving them nuts. one industry reaping the rewards, that ch

more importantly, i think the candidacy of somebody like mark sanford, or a libertarian-minded candidate like justin amash, i think the impact of their candidacies against donald trump would erode support within the republican party for donald trump. it would give a place for voters to look to, and turn to, and it really could depress republican turnout, i think, in a general election, you know, and really help, really perhaps turn the election over to democrats. >> scott, let's switch gear force a moment and get your thoughts on this canceled meeting that the president announced over the weekend on twitter. no one knew about it until he tweeted that it in fact wasn't actually going to happen. now the question is, how might this president use the canceled taliban talks to his advantage heading into 2020? >> well, you know, i really fail to see if the silver lining in this story for the president. i fail to see how the president can spin this one, you know, you have very prominent republicans including liz cheney, former, the daughter of former vice president dick cheney who obviously pla

mark sanford says that he will officially run, and he really cares about the deficit, something thaty else is talking about. is he running on principle, or does he think there is weakness in president trump to get the nomination? basil: a little of both. it is unlikely a sitting president loses a primary race. the real question for mark sanford and others is, do you have the energy and support, can you marshal the support among theblicans to at least hold president more accountable, and not just leave it to democrats to do that? from the democratic point of view, what he and others do, is keeps the president busy, a little distracted, to the extent he can be, so we can promote our policies. genevieve, as a conservative, you must be open to the possibility of somebody talking about the debt and deficit. genevieve: yes, it is great to have somebody talking about the deficit, but unfortunately for mark sanford, the president went into that state when he was running for the house, and mark sanford ended up losing. i am happy when anybody talks about the deficit as a real problem. we talk

foremaner gop congressman mark sanford has announced he'll be taking on the president in the republican primary. >>> good morning, it's monday september 9th. we are learning more about the secret meeting the president planned with the taliban at camp david before abruptly announced on twitter it was canceled. the meeting would have happened yesterday, days before the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. the president says he canceled the meeting after the taliban claimed responsibility for a bombing in kabul. trump tweeted in part what kind of people would kill so many in order to seemingly strengthen their bargaining position. if they cannot agree to a cease fire during these important peace talks and would even kill 12 innocent people, they probably don't have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway. discussions about meeting with the taliban leaders began about a week ago. >> we're told president trump first decided to hold a meeting with the group and the president of afghanistan in washington, but later came up with the idea of hosting them at camp david. as

will mark sanford be able to make people second guess the president? possibly.ith these primaries being cancelled across the country, he's not really going to have a place to be publicly challenging the president. there's not going to be a debate. >> sanford has not categorically said he's going to not vote for trump if in fact he loses. what is the point of running against the president if you can't go so far as to say you won't vote for him in the general? >> i don't quite understand that myself. i think what sanford is trying to do here is really difficult. he's trying to capture the attention of republicans who are saying we've had enough of this guy, enough is enough. the problem is there aren't that many republicans who have had enough or at least are willing to say that they have. this president has consistently had ratings in the high 80s when it comes to his approval among republicans. that's a smaller piece of the overall country than it used to be, those who identify as republicans, but it's still extraordinarily high. so i think, again, bill weld, jo

this is as mark sanford joins the presidential race over the weekend. joining me now is jonathan allen. for the most part the race is still holding steady, what strikes you as most important ahead of this debate? >> i think it is the movement that we continue to see from elizabeth warren who has had a straight upward trajectory. you have seen joe biden, a little attrition here, but in the same basic position. if you kmien -- define icombine. is there an unt for progressives in this case to make the case that joe biden is not the answer. or is this the opportunity that joe biden says that is too extreme. that what they are saying will not sell to the swing voters. this is really the opportunity for that to play out in realtime and it is possible that they will tune in more now. >> is it not a better move for the leading progressives to knock one another out first? >> i don't think so. i think what woe saw last time they were on stage together is they were joined at the hip. i think it worked for them pretty well, but nobody has voted yet, they still have

and congressman mark sanford admits primary challenge to president trump would be a, quote, david versus's thinking about it. governor sanford joins us exclusively. >> my pleasure. chris: you announced in july that you're considering running for president in the republican primary against donald trump, you visited early-voting states like -- like new hampshire and iowa, have you made a decision, are you going to enter the race against donald trump? >> i have and, you know, i plan to announce that back home this week, we had hurricane come visit us on the coast of south carolina, so that disrupted plans on that front but i'm here to tell you now that i'm going to get in. chris: you're going to run for president against donald trump in the republican race? >> i am. chris: why? >> because i think we need to have a conversation on what it means to be a republican, i think the republican party we have lost our way and i'd say so in a couple of different fronts. first in epicenter that i'm coming from, we have lost our way on debt and deficit spending, one of the hallmarks of the republican pa

i think that's what mark sanford is trying to do. is he going to win? not. >> he says he thinks the party has lost its way as it pertains to the economy. aiesha, president trump boasts about the economy even though cnn has reported that he and others in the white house, you know, privately have been expressing their real concern. so sanford, you know, is running on the idea that the economy will take a downward turn. is this potentially an opening for any republican challenger? >> so here's why it's going to be difficult to challenge this president. because the republican party generally is breaking down our democracy and literally does not want to have clear and open competition on their side or generally. that is why they are shutting down right now. in south carolina, for example, he's not going to be able to compete. and three other states. because they're not going to have primaries at all. i think that's a bigger conversation we should be having. about having your ideas heard and actually be presented in a way that the american public can vote on

mark sanford is here. >> one day at a time. >> yeah, how do you run against that?e way. how do you run against that? >> well, like i say, one day at a time. >> well, let me put this poll up as you answer. >> yeah. but i would say this. i think you do it by talking about issues. the president is the master of the insult. he's the master of the putdown. but at the end of the day, insults and putdowns do not solve problems for people in this country. and i think there is a thirst whether on the republican or democratic side for resolve to issues that matter to their lives. so the way i'm going to attempt to do it is talk about issues i think have a bearing and impact in people's lives on the republican side, and then if we make it through the primary process, in the general election side as well. >> i had the poll up as you were talking. 77% of republicans want to renominate the president compared to 20% who want a different candidate. i wonder maybe there's a glimmer of hope in those numbers for you. you said focus on the issues. don't be an insult person. but what d

joining me now is former south carolina republican governor, newly minted presidential candidate mark sanfordrk, grandpa, you know? >> whatever, yeah. >> hey, you, right? >> yeah. >> let me ask it this way. the history says someone of your stature challenging a sitting president dooms that president's re-election chances, and yet you're running anyway. fair? do you hope to doom his re-election chances? >> you can't own what you don't own in life. i've talked to a number of different republican colleagues and friends and said look, this is not a good idea. you need to hold back. we need to circle the wagons around our guy. i said well, that pruesumes it' all about our guy. what about the hopes and dreams of my four boys, a lot of kids and grandkids i don't know. ultimately politics ought to be about improving the lives of those that we represent, and if so it ought to be about ideas, so there's a robust debate going on on the democratic side on what it means to be a democrat. there always to be an equally robust on what it means to be a republican. and so i just think that, you know, think abo

>> would president mark sanford hold meetings at camp david with the taliban? >> i would not. >> you are entering the race and just got in yesterday. you know, it's stacked against you, 84% of republicans now favor the president, given job approval of 84% according to the latest cnn poll. why are you sflurunning? >> i think the republican party of late has lost its way and walking towards the most uncertain financial storm, we're not having a conversation on debt and government spending which used to be the coren stone of what the relationship party was about. we need a conversation about this notion about the way in which we're connected to the world, looking inward or outward a coren stone to what the republican party used to be about, is the idea of open trade. it's benefited our nation and economy. we need a conversation about the institution, the framework of government. i think at times the president is challenging and finally again, going back to the tone we were mentioning, we need to have a conversation about humility and tone in the office which i thi

the republican primary field is growing as mark sanford joins bill weld and joe walsh as a republicaning to wrestle the nomination away from the president. >> i'm saying you never know. >> but it's tough to announce a primary challenge when her home the primary. the house republican party announced their -- president trump's record of results, the decision was made to save south carolina taxpayers over $1.2 million and forgo an unnecessary primary. president trump piled on with at least alluding to sanford's affair with a "flaming dancer friend," and then this. >> at the tallahassee trail or appalachian trail. he's the appalachian trail, right? the tallahassee trail is nice too but i think it was the appalachian trail. but he wasn't on the appalachian trail. he was in argentina. >> at this point sanford doesn't believe the attention on his infamous extramarital affair is fair game. >> in contrast to the president where he says there's not a single thing that he sort of regrets or apologizes for, i profoundly apologize for that. >> kamala harris is apologizing too for not quickly conde

mark sanford, welcome to the newshour.why challenge a president who is polling at 87% favorability in his ownarty? >> because i think we need to have a conversation about what it means to be a republican these days. i think that certain tenets of what the republan party traditionally stood for have been lost of late. and i think that at a grassroots live, there are a lot of people out there that i think still believe in those things. take, for instance, this issue of spending andebt and deficits. they've gone out of control in washington. the president said, "if i get elected, i will completely eliminate that debt the eight years that i might be in office." o fact the numbers havee in the other direction. i think it's worth a >> woodruff: and i want to ask you about that. i mean, you're making that a centerpie. at least that's what you're talkg about this week. but just how far are you prepared snoog are you to talk about cuts in social-- the entitlement programs, so-called, soc secity, medicare, even tax increases? how fa

i have high respect for mark sanford.t this, what is unique about his entry into this race, governor bill weld has been the traditional moderate in the republican party going back now, i guess, two decades. joe walsh is kind of the smashmouth, calling trump a narcissist, malignant narcissist, unpatriotic. mark sanford is doing something, there's a nuance that's very different. he's trying to have a debate within the republican party about what it means to be a republican. he wants to have a debate over spending, over deficits, that donald trump says they don't matter. he wants to look at some core economic principles. the interesting thing is sanford was elected in essentially what was a tea party wave of '94. they are remnants of a pre-trump republican party. lastly i'll say i asked mark about the decision by south carolina and other states to shut down the primary. he said it was a move of weakness. if donald trump and republicans really thought trump would win 90-10, you should have those elections. sanford thought it

mark sanford says he has a problem basically with moms and millennials. be one of the reasons the president is in north carolina today for a special election, how does he get their support once again? how does he strengthen the support of moms and millennials. >> as we say in the south, bless his heart. mark sanford, i have no idea why he's running for president considering he was impeached from his giewb that tor gubernan south carolina for disappearing in argentina for the week. lauren: he's pointing to a problem with the trump administration and their ability to target all of these voters. does he have a point there? >> he doesn't have a point for two reasons. first and foremost, when it comes to moms, they're of mostly concerned about the economy. and the prosperity of not only their own household, but the ability of their children to have the great american dream. as we know, the stock market is up on average of 29% since donald trump has been elected, unemployment is the lowest since 1969. we have a maximum rate of a consistent unemployment rate aro

he's going to call out donald trump in ways that mark sanford never would.hink having the three of them is a combining force. will it lead to any of them becoming the republican nominee? no. but it's enough to hurt donald trump from becoming president. >> joe, what do you think? is this enough to hurt the president? does it spell trouble for the president? >> i think anything that could distract him for a couple of months and take his ire away from elizabeth warren or bernie sanders, let's keep the president occupied, keep his twitter feed occupied, i'm fine with that. are any of them credentialed in annar whe area where it could m difference in wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan, where the president won, where maybe 20,000, 30,000 votes falling off with impact the race in a particular scenario. that's what i would be more interested in actually having an effect on vote counts. >> to that point, i think you're absolutely right, joel, but i think these candidates can get people to rethink their position or say it's okay not to vote for donald trump. they may p

the cancellation of three and possibly four primaries or caucuses, is this, as mark sanford, who says he's going to run for the nomination -- is this a sign of weakness by the trump campaign that they're afraid he won't get a 90%, 95% vote in some of these primaries and caucuses, or is this the marginalizing the republicans that oppose this president? >> it's both, reverend al. it's great to see you. look, the president doesn't like criticism. this may not be news to your viewers. and he's going to try to shut down, you know, any competition in any way he can. closing down primaries is not unusual. it's done often actually. most often it's done where there just isn't a challenger to an incumbent. but it has been done in many cases on both sides where the state party will shut down a primary with an incumbent president. it happened with george w. bush and buchanan. it happened with bill clinton. but it does show a weakness in the president. the president doesn't want a challenger, and i think mark sanford's campaign represents someone who wants to go out and re-articulate what the repu

mark sanford is not a strong candidate. he's not a strong candidate against this president who as you said enjoys large support in the republican party. this challenge is going nowhere. i think largely it is either just a vanity exercise or it's for people who want to set up a run for 2024. but if you look at the primary states, if you look at how energized the republican voters are, i don't think this is going anywhere. >> all right, jessica levinson, always a pleasure to chat with you. many thanks. >> thank you. >>> one of the president's big campaign promises was to make mexico pay for a border wall along the southern u.s. border. >> we are going to build a great border wall. and who's going to pay for the wall? who is going to pay for the wall? who? >> but despite that promise, he made so many times as a candidate, mexico still isn't paying for the wall. instead, the pentagon is diverting about $3.6 million in military construction funds to build that call. and it's sparking bipartisan anger from lawmakers and others. c

bill well, mark sanford, they're all challenging them, but what's the point?ink it would be a different story if you had a lower level of support for the president among republicans. but he's caught support so strong monday republican officials but also republican voters. republican officials have been emboldened to take these steps to essentially show their support for the president by cancelling these primaries saying challengers need not apply here because our voters are not going to be interested. so these candidates have been talking about this in recent days. mark sanford has said maybe a legal challenge in south carolina, for example, could be on the table to challenge the state parties' decision, but because there is that strong support among republican voters for the president, you really haven't been seeing this uprising of backlash in support of these challengers. so it's been -- you know, these officials are emboldened to continue cancelling these primaries. >> indeed they are. rebecca buck, good to see you. thank you so much. >> thanks, martin. >>
