i want to bring in the associate professor, and rick tyler, a former adviser to senator ted cruz. thing the president, quote, appreciates? >> i think it is manipulation. the president is trying to send mueller different mixed messages. he wants to keep him off balance. i think it is the way he likes to control people. >> do you think it will work? >> no. i think mueller is a professional and he will keep his head down and his nose to the grind stone. he'll do the work and we'll find out what he finds out. >> christina? >> i think the president thinks as he lot more charming than he actually is. mueller is a trained professional and it seems like the president wants to distract with us north korea and a host of other shenanigans, but this is clearly getting to him as evidenced by his morning tweet rants while he is allegedly on vacation. this president has essentially run a scam for way too long. we know he is not a student of history or politics of he's never served as public servant so all of this is crashing down on him. he thinks he can send mueller little messages and think the

jeremy petrs co-authored that article for "the times," also with me, rick tyler, christine quinn, viceir of new york state's democratic party. jeremy, steve bannon is a guy no who no matter what the president likes to say, came into the campaign at a time where it was in trouble, got it back on track, and once he got into the white house, he was reporting directly to president, one of those people who walked in and walked out. how did he go from that to persona non grata and out? >> he was a person who was able to walk in and out until general kelly stepped in as chief of staff. as we report in the piece today, general kelly told him, look, you've got to go. this doesn't have to be messy, but we of got to negotiate your exit and tended to believe they agreed for sometime around the middle of august when bannon would depart. however, what happened in the meantime was of course charlottesville. he didn't want to leave in the middle of charlottesville because he said no, they'll say i'm leaving because of charlottesville so they postponed it again. but then a fight broke out how to pond t

let's bring in msnbc political analyst, rick tyler, josh barrow, senior editor with business insider and msnbc contributor. and shelby holliday, business and politics reporter with the "wall street journal." rick, john kasich, presidential contender, ohio governor. just tweeted a few moments ago. i believe we have the tweets here. i have repeatedly encouraged the president to unite our country. it was disappointing that last night in phoenix he once again refused. after all, what greatness has america ever accomplished by tearing down its own? we must all unite for a common goal. a stronger america. what, if anything, did president trump accomplish last night there in phoenix, arizona, rick? >> well, he reminded all his supporters that he hasn't accomplished a thing while be president. he went through a list of all the things he said in the campaign. in fact, it was very reminiscent of a campaign rally where he ticked off all the things he was going to do, but now here he is as president, saying the same thing. and he hasn't gotten nearly any of them done. so that was the one thing. t

donny deutsche, rick tyler, rick still with us, along with "the atlantic's" julia.al action network reverend al sharpton, usa today susan paige. sofia nelson. she's author of the book "epluribus one." welcome, everybody. rev, let me go to you first. he with just saw a rundown of republican presidents or republican presidential candidates beginning with ronald reagan early in his first term going to bob dole of his nominating convention in 1996 and george w. bush in his second inaugural address condemning racism, condemning white nationalism, condemning the very things we have seen bubble up in a very public way again in american life under president donald trump. you have known donald trump for many, many, many years. do you believe he has it in him to condemn what we saw in charlottesville, and if so, why didn't he do it? >> i think that donald trump has demonstrated down through the years that he is not above whistle-blowing to those that have had feelings and real believes in bigotry. i mean, let's not forget the first time we heard from him in a social political

for more, joined by rick tyler, he worked on the presidential campaign of texas senator ted cruz. ck, thanks for joining us. in one way, a story we have been, not new to us, this president and his use of twitter in a moment like this. does it make a difference in terms of the federal response? does it make a difference if the president is tweeting about things off topic? >> i think it makes a lot of difference. president sets his priorities by the way he communicates to the country. his response has been a little bit bipolar. he is focused on the events on the ground in houston. he talks about how well he did in going to missouri. or he talks about things that aren't related to the storm. what i thought was revealing about the press conference today, steve, he is talked about when he pardoned joe arpaio, he talked about maybe he did it because ratings would be higher with the coverage of the storm. that is an extraordinarily revealing. instead of focussing on the storm and the people who are suffering in the storm, which he doesn't seem to be able to generate any compassion or empa

. >> let's bring in rick tyler, republican strategist and msnbc political analyst.hrisca phone as, former chief of staff for senator joe manchin. i didn't have a chance to talk to mac mcclarity about this, but he said i think mike pence is a very loyal guy, i don't think he's out there overtly doing it, but if people around him are doing it, it wouldn't surprise anybody. what do you think? >> well, in pence's defense, running for re-elected as vice president looks at this stage remarkably similar as running for president. but it can't be a question that it's a little bit -- i hate to use the word unprecedented, but it certainly is not normal that we have a lot of republicans visiting early states. we have had ben sasse and tom cotton in iowa. and look, they're not foolish to do so. when you have an active investigation into the sitting president of the united states, people are going to question whether he's going to get there. and here's where it gets interesting. the donors are beginning to worry. the donors are worried that donald trump, with his support, his app

what does this mean, rick tyler? what does this not mean for the trump white house moving forward? >> something had to break. so it's something now is breaking. steve bannon has had a remarkable career, naval officer, worked at goldman sachs, and then ceo of breitbart, became a campaign strategist. trump felt like he got too much credit for trump's own success and became the white house senior strategist. unfortunately for bannon and for trump, he's the chief white house strategist, the strategy isn't working. there's two parts. i think bannon's idea of success is in his words is disassembling the deep state. in that sense, they were making some progress but jux at a pose that against legislative failures against the reaction in charlottesville, which is the president's fault. he's responsible for moral clarity and leadership and failed on that front. it is so delayed now i don't know how it's recoverable. but they believe and probably this is chief kelly believes something had to break and bannon was the breaking point. >> jonathan swan is on the phone right now, national politica

let's bring in joe watkins, rick tyler and am saturday lina maxwell bring welcome to all three of yous the significance of bannon's exit? what does it tell you about where the administration is heading? >> it means the administration is not heading toward at least the alt-right philosophy that bannon was associated with and still is associated with, by the way, as the head of breitbart. i would say the -- don't be the story. the president is supposed to be the story. the president is the one that makes the headlines. the hoemt you start making a headlines as a white house staffer, the moment they start parodying you on saturday night live your days are numbered. >> is that typical of any administration or just this administration, joe? >> that's for any administration, really. the story is always supposed to be the president and you're there to serve the president of the united states and it's best done in the background. you don't want to draw too much attention to yourself, let the president get all the attention because that's why the people elected that person. >> so bannon says h

and rick tyler, you've got problem, it will and drug i on that they'd be polling wait back in january to make sure they won m 2021. all of these numbers look pretty tough but i guess for you and me, guys who have either one campaigns in republican primari primaries. joe, i'd have them on 24-hour suicide watch. these numbers are not good. then you have an active investigation, the russia probe, which people are beginning to question. everybody's positioning any eventualities that might occur in this very administration ek them. get those numbers up. >> only 27 of americans trust -- less than 1 in four people trust what the communication said. certainly any of us here, we'd run. if you got record low approval hatings, you must when do you get -- >> it a charge. not on that, you have a republican congress, a republican senate. you are unable to get health care done, unable it really move forward on a tax bill. enwechlt, mish, ohio, the states that put you over the top, when do you you begin to do the things you promised to do? and republicans, who are trying to manage answered and lead t

white house correspondent anita kumar, capital hill reporter molly hooper and gop strategist rick tyler, what are the numbers that stand out to you here? is it the 25% that remain to be proud, is that a better indicator or indicator you're watching that shows what his base in the midwest is feeling right now? >> well, as kelly pointed out, we don't usually poll for the embarrassment factor, so there's no way to benchmark it, but it's a shocking number. when more than 60% of those polled are actually embarrassed about the president's behavior, that is got to be telling, but he's also upside down, richard, in the three states. pennsylvania, for republicans, these states haven't really been battleground states. donald trump made them battleground states, but if he is considering a re-election and kellyanne conway, who is trump's pollster, she's got to know whether these numbers are real or her own polls reflect this, and if they are real, he's got a real concern if he wants to be re-elected. >> anita, the mid western firewall, remember we were saying that i don't know how many different ti

with us we have mike barnicle, mark halperin, now an msnbc political contributor, rick tyler and from "usa today" heidi pryzbyla. >> the russia story. i mean, rush just keeps moving forward. they keep saying there's nothing to it, it's dying and then you find out he's trying to build trump tower and then they say there's nothing there and then the guy they say had no contacts with russia -- >> you can even go back to mike pence being asked did the trump campaign talk to anybody in russia regarding -- no, no, we just talked to the american people. you stack up all the lies but to really get the gravity of the lies, you have to get g back to the getting. >> that's apparently what people are doing. >> and then there's the president firing a guy because his crowd size was small. >> and he fired a guy because his crowds were tiny? how do you do that? it's not like he was a promoter for a led zeplin concert. this is an inauguration. >> we'll get to all that. obviously some major foreign policy crises to deal with. first, let's talk about texas. bill karins has the very latest. >> there will

rick tyler says you can't allow the oval office to become a vehicle for the ultrarich?eg: europe plus until your liability. when your liability, you're gone. he looks at people the way you look at chinese restaurants. i will go through and find a chinese restaurant in soho and then in a certain point it does something that bugs me and i'll never go back. and then i find another chinese restaurant because that elitist chinese food. i get salt-and-pepper pork chops which are fantastic, if you've never had them. i urge you to try them. it's one of the under ordered pieces of chinese food. people forget about them. my point is this. he likes something until he no longer like something and he finds something some don't like a somewhat similar. when he started with that, it's a most like his marriages. >> juan: kind of rough. if he gets rid of bannon, does bannon go back to breitbart? does he start attacking trump? >> jesse: breitbart is independent of the bannon right now. >> juan: don't tell mcmaster that. >> jesse: there is a squabble who cares? in any other administration

i am joined booed a bipartisan panel, adrian elrod for hillary clinton for america and rick tyler.nt to get your reaction of what governor jerry brown said this morning on "meet the press." let's watch that. >> you'd have to say the leadership has not been clever enough or strong enough or perhaps visionary enough. >> all right. do you agree? >> well, look, i do think that it's important for democrats to have a broader vision going forward where rebuilding the party, that's something that we've been working on since the presidential election, but look, democrats are united like never before because of the resistance. chuck schumer just unveileded a really smart economic policy agenda to not just get more americans back to work, but raise wages. we're doing a good job, and we have a lot of work to do in front of us. >> in the spirit of pointing fingers at ourselves, i want to listen to what jeff lake said this morning. >> one particularly ugly hings that are ries goes out or demonstrably false, we have to stand up and say that's just not right. >> so what do you think about the sena

kate kelly, reporter for "the new york times," rick tyler, msnbc political analyst, republican strategist, and co-founder of foundry strategies. you lived in texas, rick. houston, right? >> yeah. lived there for a year. >> when you see these picture, it's stunning in the worst possible way. and i wonder what you make of the president's decision to go there tomorrow. >> hopefully he changes his mind. i don't think the impact of a presidential visit on what's going on in texas is just going to impact the effort to rescue people. i think what's remarkable about this story is the hurricane hit down there in corpus christi so that's where you suffered a lot of wind damage. now that the emergency has moved to houston because houston is a lot of concrete, a lot of asphalt, and virtualry no zoning so you hald these big buildings next to these neighborhoods and imagine concrete doesn't absorb watt sore everything's going to run off. the first place that's going to go is into the bayous and those are like meandering marshland river, slow moving rivers. when they fill up, everything else gets inunda

along with my panel steve and rick tyler. where does this new shakeup leave jared and ivanka. standing alongside general kelly putting out this narrative how offended they were about anthony scaramucci's word choices although she is silent when a barrage of offensive word choices had been used by her father for years and she brought anthony in. mr. scaramucci. >> it's certainly true that jared kushner, we know, was one of the -- very supportive of bringing anthony scaramucci in. i think it's slightly different. anthony scaramucci in a very public way went out and made these vulgar and lewd comments in his capacity as a representative of the white house that's slightly different from what the president has done in the past. but, you know, jared and ivanka wanted reince priebus out. i think there was a desire on their part for somebody more competent and for somebody who was capable of bringing a little bit more order to the white house. what that will mean for the two of them and their sway on the president and their access to the president, i don't think we know quite yet. rig

white house elise jordan, steve kornacki, former communications director for ted cruz's campaign, rick tylerm stein and willie's back. good god where you have been? >> i was away, i was across the street. the last time i was here, anthony scaramucci was not even a glimmer in our eye. >> what you have missed and in what a short amount of time. our top story this morning really crystallizes the challenge for the new chief of staff. we'll begin with the report that says president trump overruled his closest advisers including family members when it came to the new york city about the story about donald trump jr. and russian advisers. it's really important for everyone to really keep in mind here the biggest issue may be the president himself. that may be the biggest challenge. "the washington post" citing multiple sources with direct knowledge reporting that the misleading four-sentence statement was personally dictating by the president flying home from the g-20 summit on july 8. think about it. he gets away from everybody, there's attorneys, there's everybody wants to talk to him, gets on a p
