i argued that it is a mcclatchy believe in good government and that means you get rid of the red tapeed responsible regulations but they have to be regulations people have worked to together so everybody is invested in the regulations. i think what is happening now with president trump's administration, or what we see in colorado, is they are throwing out the baby with the bathwater. they are getting rid of all the good regulations and saying, we will have no regulatory framework. history has told us, the free enterprise system is the best eds a is, but it ne regulatory framework. you cannot have monopolies or let businesses pollute without consequences. we learned it the hard way. the growthe look at initiative on a national level, there seem to be a couple of trade-offs. i wonder what your experience in denver is in this? we have seen that to promote growth and the other is -- debt to promote growth, and the other is in the quality. we have two really allow people to succeed outrageously so it will wear down to the benefits of people in the downslope. gov. hickenlooper: i disagree.

we know, we suspect, i suspect in march when mcclatchy first ran the story and talking, i immediatelyn devin nunes at the house intelligence committee to tell him there is nothing to this. there is not a kernel, not a microbe of truth to the story. i wanted him to know that. the staff talked and they told me that they surmised that it was glen simpson. of fusion g.p.s. thaw put together the dossier that started the nonsense. the two reporters, peter stone and gordon have been mouthpieces for schiff and glenn simpson. we weren't sure but we more or less figured out maybe that is where it was coming from. until early august when the house judiciary committee obteened bruce ohr notes of the interviews. there it is. that is where the store came from. the name is there. listed as the n.r.a. lawyer. saying i have concerned about what is the illegally commit by the n.r.a. which is false. >> did the mueller investigation contact you or want to talk to you about the possibility that you had some awareness of funneling of the funds from russians through the n.r.a.? >> they never contacted me bu

i'm joined by anita kumar, correspondent for mcclatchy. the white house is positioned on the woodwork seems to be that the press is obsessed with it but they want to talk about it all the time. >> there is no person obsessed about bob woodward's book and the op-ed than donald j. trump. as axios first reported and the daily beast can confirm, the president has privately fuming about his former senior aids and officials, his top economics advising reporter and robert porter, the staff secretary, both of whom apparently served as big sources for the bob woodward book. this is another instance of the president of the united states, four members of his inner sickle, at least according to the president of the united states, turning on him. it's sending him into a advertise i >> someone reported the staff in the white house is working hard to focus the president's attention on the hurricane bearing down on the carolina coast which his grave obsession has been with the woodward book and the op-ed. >> yes, the white house staff is in a balancing ac

. >> joining me now, michelle cinder, our white house correspondent and franco odonez from mcclatchy newspapers and chris whipple and author of the gatekeepers, how the white house chiefs of staff define every presidency. this is a second speech we've now seen in as many days and tone perhaps the same, duration certainly less. what did you make of what he said today? >> really president obama and former president obama is telling people it is time to get out there and bring it on. it is time to get motivated. i think the president recognizes that the democrats need someone to really fire them up. not only do they -- the democrats have this now a clear message of progressive politics and really knowing that issues rather than just being anti-trump is going to get them over the line but president obama is having a message for people who didn't vote at all. whole half of america in the 2016 election that didn't leave homes and said i don't want to pick either candidate or i just don't care and i think president obama is trying to motivate those people to say, look at all in a -- that is

well, with us tonight to talk about it, anita kumar, white house correspondent for mcclatchy newspapersbill kristol, a veteran of the reagan and bush administrations and editor at large of the "weekly standard." bill, in the hurricane coverage business they talk about an eyewall replacement cycle, like putting an electric mixer into a cake mix. you see the constant churn as it goes on down through the core. are we watching some sort of replacement cycle in the republican party? >> i hadn't thought of that analogy. that's very good. very good, brian. tying together the two big stories of the day. it could be. i don't know -- well, we'll see a smaller republican delegation in the house, probably a minority in the house. ironically, it will be more trumpy, more conservative. a lot of the moderates are going to lose. in the npr poll, for example, which is i think plus 12 overall, it's unbelievable. men are 50-42 republican. women are 28 -- 62-28 democratic. it's the biggest gender gap i've ever seen. it's two, three, four times the typical gender gap, which always women are a little more de

mcclatchy is on their own this. they've got a great track record on the story. i am inclined to be interested whatever they have to say but they're not even claiming more than one source. what would it mean for the trump organization to be under investigation? what does that mean for a business to be under investigation? >> i think that's just shorthand to discuss potential executives there. companies are very, very rarely charged criminally and when they are, it is when there's a systemic and method cal intentional breaking of the law like something like would ex-vegan where they tried to avoid emissions testing in a very methodical way. >> or enron who was involved in a company-wide scheme. >> yes. that actually has -- the fallout from enron and arthur andersen has even put the skids more on criminal prosecutions of corporations. >> making it even harder to do so. >> yes. it is so devastating to the companies if a company is charged. i do think what they're talking about here is the potential for more executives to be caught in the crosshairs of this campaign

mcclatchy said cohen did make a secret trip to prague in 2016.f the collusion claims in the unverified trump dossier. manafort could be spilling on what happened before and after the russia meeting at trump tower. the man who arranged that said trump may have known about it in advance. >> do you think president trump knew about the meeting prior to it taking place? >> i don't definitively knew if he knew or he didn't. but it was taking place in his conference room, and it was taking place with his campaign chair sitting and attending the meeting as well as his son and son-in-law. so it's a bit of a stretch to believe that he doesn't know it's going on. >> ambassador michael mcfaul joins me. how important are manafort and cohen to getting to the bottom of what money or what trail there is from russia? >> essential. of course they have been involved in different money schemes. mr. manafort in particular, as we now know. and the real question was, was the trump organization involved as well? we don't know the answer to that. mr. mueller needs to ans
