but as mary katherine was saying, for governors and senate races, absolutely.races, it just doesn't work the same. does want to defy history, does want to keep as many seats as he can. if republicans control the senate, that's no small thing. but that's more likely. those house races. if he's going to campaign as much as he said he will, he'll be hard pressed to find that many republicans who want him to come to their town. >> exactly. as you jump in, i want the viewers to see exactly what the president's schedule is on the campaign trail this month alone. at the beginning of july, he started in montana, then missouri, illinois, iowa. today in tampa. thursday to pennsylvania. >> it's a momentous shift in his thinking, in president trump's thinking that your reporting reveals. before he had indicated, you know, to people around him that he was not that worried about the midterm elections, that he was dismissive of the idea that republicans would lose the house given their advantages. and yes, he should be concerned. ask president obama what happened to his agend

molly ball is with us and conservative mary katherine hamm. did we just get in clear view, molly, exactly how the president really, really feels despite scripts and all? >> yes, probably. i mean, look, i am not a mind reader or a psychoanalyst. i don't know what's actually in the mind of donald trump. it certainly has seemed obvious from his tone and from the sum total of his comments where he stands on this. you can impute various psychological motivations to this. he read that scripted statement in the most grudging possible manner. this is what he does. he will say two contradictory things, thus allowing people on both sides to believe what they want. the people on his side with the whole hoax narrative are satisfied. then others like, say, republican congressmen who are disturbed by having a president be this close to russia or not trust the intelligence community then have something to grab on to and say, i believe the president when he said this other thing. as to where he really stands, i think it was always somewhat obvious. >> to mary

thank you very much for that reporting, jeff, and mary katherine ham from the federalist is now here with the panel. i want to explain, jeff laid out the contenders. i want to talk about what you live every day, manu, which is the math. and what we're talking about in terms of how close this vote could be. check this out. the balance of power in the u.s. senate, so 51-49, we have a photo of john mccain up there, because the expectation is that he will not be returning. he's suffering from cancer back in arizona, so that means that the stakes are even higher, the margin even slimmer. now, let's go to the narrow number of potential swing votes that we're talking about here. i think we have another graphic to show. do we? okay. okay. hold on. we'll talk about it. there it is. okay. all right. thank you, guys. so, there are some republicans in the red who we're not sure if they'll vote yes or no. susan collins, lisa murkowski and a few others, and on the democratic side there were three democrats who voted for neil gorsuch and a few others facing very tough re-election battles, so the po

with me in studio, iliana johnson, carl holtz and mary katherine hamm. we'll go inside a bit later but let's stick with the fallout particularly within the president's own party. the president was way outside the republican mainstream, way outside the ronald reagan legacy, if you will, of the republican party. will they just complain? will they just go home and say i disagree, don't blame me for what the president did or is there anything to come of this? >> i think phil is right, there are things you could do and hearings would be a fairly normal reaction to something like this. but you're also a little over three months from a midterm election that is going to be very important for the republicans and i think they're looking at this and they say, well, if we lose the house and maybe even the senate, we are going to be in real trouble. i just think the politics, they need the trump base. they're going to stick with him. i do think this has raised the outrage to an entirely new level but i don't see the kind of action that you would normally anticipate w

katherine: -- mary: that is all it is. a tax on american companans and am consumers. if these, if all of these tariffs that are in place right now against the automotive industry were toactud they're estimating right now, the global automotive alliance, right now is estimating that vehicles cou go up by more thanve $6,000 per cle. so at the end of the day that's just the american consumer paying these. soledad: what happens i' american consumers dt pay it and people don't buy vehicles and -- mary: people lose their jobs. soledad: so lin dunn: -- soledad: mary buchzeiger so nice to have yo thanks for your time. them when we come back, our white students the reason asian can't get into harva and how did a little known words on one ofmerica's latest treasures. >> had don early's light, he saw the flag was still there, but do you know how the flag got there? cz z16fz vp cy y16fy soledad: whenci it comes tal stereotypes, a common one is del minority.inicansmo are the accord to the pew research center the median household income

mary jackson. she was the first engineer, black woman engineer at n.a.s.a. and she along with dorothy vaughn and katherinegetting john glenn, our first american astronaut into space. e human computers. they were actually doing the numbers before we had the inanimate object, the computer. so just to think about if that story was not told, that would be another story about us that would be erased, and i think we have to really make sure that we have that representation out there and people know that we're from the getos to n.a.s.a., we're changing the world. ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: now you're another type of computer. now it's "dirty computer." >> yes. >> stephen: what is the dirty computer? is that the human mind? >> well, you know, the dirty computer speaks to -- what it means when humanity, you know, says that we are full of bugs and viruses because of our very existence, whether it be, you know, you being a part of the lgbtq community, being a black woman, a minority, an immigrant, the marginalized, it speaks to what it means to say that our bugs and viruses, the things that make us differen
