one of president trump's name, matthew paul weidefeld is- peterson >> have you ever tried a trial >>not >> civil >> no. >> criminal >> no. >> bench >> no. >> >> i have not >> have you ever taken a deposition >> i was involved in taking depositions when i was associate >> that's peterson being questioned. struggled to answers basic questions about courtroom procedure. he wrote i hope my nearly two decades of public service might carry more weight than my worse two minutes on television. we'll tell you who's sleeping soundly and who's toss to go and turning when the final five comes back after this. comes back after this. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ it all starts with a wish. the final days of wish list are here. hurry in and sign and drive off in a new lincoln with zero down and a complementary first months payment. . >>> this could be the biggest winning of president trump's first year in office. the president laid out his national security maybe it was the fact he stayed on message and on the teleprompter but for the first time in a wh

. >> and senator rand paul, matthew, he really went at it today. he tweeted earlier in the day.obama government officials who might have colluded to prevent the election of donald trump. this could be worse," worse all in caps, "than watergate". >> >> ou eem not sure if he's talking about the dossier? there's a persistent talking point that you see on the right. the dossier is what started the investigation. we see no evidence that's the case. the dossier is something that was paid for by first republicans, then democrats. it's not going to keep the fbi investigation going. you need facts. you need stronger evidence. we have seen no real evidence this is what it's based on. i'm not sure what the obama conclusion is inless the investigation is a lone collusion. >> significant he used the word colluded. >> i think it's important to know this is a very possibly political strategy by the republicans. in the beginning of the mueller probe, it was hard to attack mueller because he was a registered republican, a character that was attested to by republicans and democrats on the hill. n

millions displaced by poverty and war matthew thanks for going on what evidence did you give parliament in the past few days about your visit to myanmar well we spoke to paul about the situation the humanitarian situation in bangladesh at the moment where of course the rangar refugees have fled over half a million of them six hundred fifty if you couldn't get in to me and presumably well we. we have stuff in myanmar but there are neighborhoods who actually go out and do humanitarian work at the moment so they're confined to their offices and homes at the moment but also the military government correct but of course the humanitarian effort is very much focused on the cox's bazar region of bangladesh and it's there that ourselves and other u.n. agencies are really coming together and trying to help these this huge number of refugees who have been driven over the border by persecution and what scale are we talking early with a little bit well the total number we believe is six hundred fifty thousand but that's in addition to several hundred thousand who were already there and displaced so in total about a million ringgit refugees are on that side the banglade

paul's, will now read from the beatitudes. here begins the fifth chapter of the gospel according to matthew.n jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: ‘blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see god. blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of god. blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.‘ and now the sound of the oud — the instrument heard often in

paul ryan. we wanted to give you that update before the show ends. the beet ends. "hardball" is up next. >>> trump versus the fbi. let's play "hardball." >> good evening. i'm chris matthewsp at war with the federal bureau of investigation. he is out there knocking the fbi for treating michael flynn unfairly. the president defended the man who on friday pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the fbi and who is now cooperating with robert mueller. let's watch.

paul ryan. we wanted to give you that update before the show ends. the beet ends. "hardball" is up next. >>> trump versus the fbi. let's play "hardball." >> good evening. i'm chris matthews in washington. so it's now donald trump at war with the federal bureau of investigation. he is out there knocking the fbi for treating michael flynn unfairly. the president defended the man who on friday pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the fbi and who is now cooperating with robert mueller. let's watch. >> well, i feel badly for general flynn. i feel very badly. he has led a very strong life. and i feel very badly, john. i will say this. hillary clinton lied many times to the fbi. nothing happened to her. flynn lied and they destroyed his life. i think it's a shame. hillary clinton on the fourth of july weekend went to the fbi not under oath. it was the most incredible thing anyone's ever seen. she lied many times. nothing happened to her. flynn lied and it's like they ruined his life. it's very unfair. >> well, hillary clinton was interviewed over the fourth of july weekend back in 2015. but former fbi director james comey told congress earlier this year that she didn't lie t

paul ryan says it is completely premature and says he's not going anywhere for now. >> we'll see what happens as the year progresses. more from jon karl and matthewd. jon, let's begin with the tax bill. so little room to maneuver right now. a lot of final details set and this objection from senator marco rubio at the last minute complicates things. >> reporter: it sure does. the white house is confident they will get the votes but, george, this is the world they are living in now, especially now that the democrats won in alabama and doug jones getting sworn in in january. basically you have a situation where every republican senator can be king, anybody, anybody can stand up and object and they have to meet their concerns to get it passed unless there is democratic support so looks like rubio, if they are going to pass this, rubio ultimately will get his way. >> they'll have to give him a lot and let's talk about more broadly here, the republican leadership does seem convinced they have to get it done. what could be puzzling is this bill is tremendously unpopular right now. >> yeah, they are making an assumption that a legislative victory will eq
