congresswoman donna edwards, contributing columnist at "the washington post" and republican strategist rick tylerlitical analysis for msnbc. joni ernst said, rick, that it was not appropriate for the president, i'm paraphrasing, to ask something political of a foreign leader. but she resisted a followup question at the same time. so it's beginning to be a sense of discomfort by some republicans. she's on the ballot this year. >> when citizens and voters go to town halls and put pressure on their members and those things can be aired, and you're seeing -- there's escalating support for impeachment. and that is going to have an effect. that's the way politics works. these members, these republican members will ultimately go the way of their districts. and what the democrats have to do is they have to make this abundantly clear what the president did. this was arms for dirt. that's what it was. it was arms for dirt. he wanted to trade arms to get dirt on a political opponent. they have to cope it maniacally focused on that single issue. and not say the whistle-blower was incredible and this whole id

so much to talk about, eddie glaude and rick tyler, so glad you were here. question, is there anybody else, the question by long time democratic insiders about the current field of democratic candidates? democratic anxiety, is it for good reason? >>> plus, time is running out for kurdish fighters to leave northern syria as the pause in fighting is set to end. new alarms about the number of children displaced and new gains for isis. here is part of what the president is saying. >> we never agreed to protect the kurds. we supported them for 3 1/2, four years. we never agreed to protect the kurds for the rest of their lives. that noninvasive colon cancer screening test. the delivery guy just dropped it off. our doctor says it uses advanced science. it's actually stool dna technology that finds 92 percent of colon cancers. no prep, and private. colon cancer screening that's as easy as get, go, gone. ask your doctor if cologuard is right for you. covered by medicare and most major insurers. gimme one minute... and i'll tell you some important things to know about

now former congresswoman donna edwards and republican strategist and nbc news political analyst rick tyler, the president has not ever explained anything about his own children. there's no question that there is a swampiness about hunter biden's work given his lack of qualifications for a lot of this stuff. >> no doubt. >> but there is a real equivalency here because eric and donald trump jr. are involved in businesses around the world. ivanka trump's work in china before her clothing business was disbanded but her clothing company was still getting license agreements. >> there's no doubt they've been trading in on their father's name. ivanka and jared kushner do work for the white house and last year they made $82 million while working at the white house. hunter biden, it was claimed that he made $50,000 serving on the board of a natural gas company in ukraine. there's been all kinds of allegations about china, but it doesn't seem that hunter biden personally benefitted. donald trump would have you believe that he walked away with a billion dollars. that's simply not true. but ivanka and

i want to follow up on what rick tyler said.d it have been for joe biden all along to be calling donald trump out? i know if i was in his position i'd be saying, wait a second, donald trump is so scared of me that he is asking the chinese to violate my civil rights and launch an investigation against an american citizen? is he really that scared of me? donald, you need -- i mean, this isn't hard. and yet joe biden for a week or so allowed so much of this to pass and he stayed hunkered down saying nothing. >> yeah, i think that's absolutely right. that first week especially it was really -- i was puz eled as we puzzled as well as to why there was not a robust response from the biden campaign right away making that very point. saying clearly i'm the one that the president is most concerned about. i understand the concern to not want to drag one's family into it to know that every comment he made trump would come back with a comment about his family. but this is politics. we've seen the knew every candidate in this race has to be p

rick tyler.ay as they attend the funeral of congressman elijah cummings later this morning in baltimore. rev, i wanted to start with you because you were at the beautiful memorial in the capitol where you saw both sides of the aisle paying tribute to a great man. >> it was a real tribute. it was historic in the sense that elijah cummings was the first african-american elected official to lay at state in the statutory hall, and to see mitch mcconnell, schumer and pelosi all sitting there together and "morning joe," joe scarborough and mika and i sat with the family. we were invited. you know, congressman cummings officiated over their wedding and he and i worked closely together and so the family had us there, and paul ryan sitting with us. it showed the best in the country when people can disagree but come together to honor a statesman who really served this country, never giving up his principles but learning how to relate to others. i think it was a testimony, a day after we saw 30 republicans

the collateral damage is having a big effect on everything not related to impeachment. >> rick tyler,itter followers. on twitter you wrote about this, so says the guy who gave israeli intelligence to russians in the oval office. >> nancy pelosi had access to classified information for two decades and i don't know that she's ever been involved in a classified leak information. let's not forget, trump wasn't exactly in the loop on this either. this planning to get al baghdadi had been under way for quite some time. the president clearly wasn't read in on that. and now the new york times had a story this afternoon that he was not informed and so he wasn't in the loop. why? probably because he's the biggest leaker in town. >> and, lonnie, we know that the president, he said, leaned on lindsey graham and richard burr for some advice, chairman of the senate intelligence committee. how in a normal universe, normal white house works this process have played out? >> you would have had regular consultations with the gang of eight, intelligence committee chairs would have been read in, ranking m

rick tyler, i'm going to do a little counter factual here. put up full screen one here from the poll. here's the president's job disapproval, 53%. and you think, okay, there's a common number here. another number that fits into that, 54%, you know what that number is in the number of people that didn't vote for donald trump in 2016. the point one of the pollsters made is, hypo, what hey, what h? 54% of america never wanted to see donald trump there in the first place and somewhere between 53% and 55% of america don't like him, don't like his job, think he's not -- he's lying about ukraine and think he probably needs to go. >> and what else hasn't changed is his job approval rating, still the same window. ironically, joe biden's number is exactly the same as where it was. we are just stuck sort of in this rut. now, to be fair, one thing has changed, more people think these are serious allegations. >> yes. >> but look, i think -- the democrats ought to think long and hard about impeachment, because they are going down this road of impeachment i

charlie sykes, political analyst, and rick tyler, msnbc news political analyst.donna, what are the political risks for democrats going into thisde election year? >> i think clearly the conduct of the proceedings that are coming is really important. i think that's why the resolution sort of lays out a process that allows staff counsel to askat questions. we've seenun how that can go aw, it sets about a process that provides for the president of the united states to have counsel, to be able to call witnesses to present evidence. and the same for republican members of the judiciary committee. and so, you know, whenever you're calling witnesses, you don't know what's going to happen. i think they actually laid out a process that allows to at least control the environment so it doesn't become a circus. >> can they control their own sort of grandstanding, charlie question of we'll seen members of escongress, on chairman nadler's own o committee, reall diminish their political effectiveness p by the way they perform, not following up on questions, just as the republican

i'm joined by democratic congressman david cicilliny of rhode island and republican strategist rick tyler. congressman, i'll start with you. from the tastandpoint of your impeachment inquiry what mick mulvaney said this afternoon and for that matter what he said in the last hour trying to take that back, what does that mean for your impeachment inquiry? >> well, i think again it's more evidence of the really shocking behavior of this president and maybes of his administration. we should not forget the president has admitted he reached out to a foreign leader in an effort to persuade that foreign leader to interfere in the 2020 election, to help him in his relection by investigating a bogus claim by one of his opponents. we know that undermining our national security, undermining the integrity of our elections, it was a terrible abuse of power. the president admitted this conduct and he then released a transcript of that phone call which confirms he asked for a favor while aid was being held up to ukraine. that was confirmed by a detailed whistle-blower report that details the entire schem

, professor of the university of texas' lbj school of public affairs, and republican strategist rick tylerlyst. welcome all. good to see you, as usual. >> good morning, alex. >> rick, what do you think it says that the president's usually defenders are laying very low right now? >> well, it says a couple things. one, i don't think the president actually talks to his communications staff, so they really don't know what they would do. and all of these -- i know some of these people, and they have been trained in the conventional sense. you take the facts as you know them and you try to present them in the best way to tell a story. unfortunately for them, the facts are not on their side and the president's liable to change the facts at any moment, so they end up getting humiliated. but the overarching problem right now is they may be in legal jeopardy if they actually go out and defend the president. >> huh, okay. elaine, i want to tap into your experience having worked in the obama white house. how unusual is this disappearing act, to use the "ap's" term, during a very critical time? >> that

chris lu, former senior aide to president obama and a dnc superdelegate, and republican strategist rick tylerbc political analyst. hey, guys! welcome to the show. thanks for joining me. >> hi, alex. >> rick, you first here. how do you make sense of the president's pushback against this idea of a team for impeachment response? >> he wants to make it look like everything's going just along swimmingly and that he's strong. frankly, i hope he takes his own counsel here. you know, he's taken his own counsel and gotten the country into many a mess, including in syria. and if he can take his own counsel on impeachment, that would be just amazing to watch, because he's in way over his head here and he doesn't -- he doesn't -- you know, the wrecking ball has taken a swing, and it's now coming toward him. we don't have to wonder if it's going to hit him. it's going to hit him. >> what about democrats, chris? so many now, witnesses on record, plus the president's public statements. can the white house do very much to change how this is playing out at this point? i mean, rick just said that wrecking ball

. >> joining me now, zerlina maxwell, with sirius xm and republican strategist rick tyler, both msnbcnalysts. zerli zerlina, you worked for clinton's 2016 campaign, so i have to start with you. this back-and-forth drawing strong reactions on both sides, some democrats speaking out in defense of gabbard. did clinton go too far? should she be sharing her views on the democratic candidates? >> i think she didn't go far enough and we have to decide whether or not we'll listen to hillary clinton, who lived through this in 2016, or whether or not we're going to do what we did in 2016, is decide that what she's saying is irrelevant because of how we feel personally about her, and i think that that would be a mistake. in 2016, anchors literally laughed at hillary clinton when she said it was russia. robby mook went on television and said, it was russia that was hacking our emails and releasing them on wikileaks. we were laughed at. i would like everyone to listen to us now because i on the campaign had that red banner over my email that said, "government hackers are trying to infiltrate your

rick tyler, msnbc political analyst and emily tisch susman, former vice president of campaigns for thefor american progress, also host of your primary playlist. rick, one republican insider quoted in this ox yoes piece says we're all worried. how worried should the gop be, sflik. >> they should be extremely worried. if this is a referendum of donald trump -- remember, the head of the ticket usually drives turnout. unfortunately it appears trump is driving turnout of the democrats and not the republicans. if he just simply turns out his base, the republicans would be wiped out. there's a big but, craig, and that's who the democrats nominate. if you look at a normal election year, with a good economy, low unemployment, and let's say we had a popular president, the republicans would be expected to pick up seats across the board. that doesn't look like it's going to happen because donald trump is under water. he's losing to the democrats and the impeachment story gets worse and worse for him. >> emily, how do you prepare for the unknowns, again, the impeachment inquiry that we're just talk

joining me now to discuss this, bill press, host of "the bill press pod," rick tyler, republican strategistria defrancesca soto, president of the university of texas and both msnbc analyst. bill, the president essentially admitted to the crimes that he's under investigation for in plain sight, and yet, he says republicans in the senate will stay with him. are you as confident? >> no. by the way, i think that we see now why it's kind of important to have a press secretary in the white house. it's kind of important to have a coms director, not for the president to be the only one who talks, because i think we see that every day that donald trump is talking, every day rudy giuliani is talking, it's worse -- >> but bill, he's had press secretaries and coms directors before, so you know -- >> i should say, to use them for what they're there for, and not to silence them, because every day he talks, alex, it makes it worse and it makes it harder for republicans to defend him. and i think we're down to one question -- we know what happened. there's no doubt. from multiple sources, we know the presi

. >>> welcome back everybody to the bond market we go and rick santelli at the cme. >> hi, tyler a lott's trade, as we will find out shortly. maybe brexit is their last-minute solution maybe the biggest thing is there is a lot less positive talk on negative rates they are up 19 basis points in a week a long week of tens, up 21 basis points on the week fives and tens are both over 20. the rest of the curve is 18 to 18 basis points. year to date of tens minus 2s, you can see that this rise in rates has been led by the long and clearly seen on the tens minus twos spread around 15 basis points let's look at what's going on with regards to bunds. 15 basis points up on the week when you consider how much smaller their yield is at minus 44 this that is a big move. the jack-'o-lantern. the dollar index you see those teeth in the middle they represent levels around 9825 just slightly below where we're trading. an area to pay attention to. back to you. >> thanks very much. rick santelli. >>> wework is seeking an emergency debt financing package from major banks following their failed ipo. >> wew

tyler, back to you. >> we'll talk about that right now. tom corselli is with rbc capital markets. and also the coo of river shares what do you think of what rick just said about whether the fed should be cutting as it is the market wants it. should we be -- should the fed feed the market? >> the reality is, the market has been winning the market continues to get what it wants i think one of the other reporters noted that only seven members are looking for cuts i think you have to ask, where are the voters, i would tell you the voters are -- the seven people looking for cuts are probably all voters. i think the market's going to get what they want the voters are going to get what they want. i think at this point i don't think it matters if they cut after the october meeting. >> you think they will cut in october? >> kevin, you're smiling, you're nodding. >> yes, i think they're going to cut in october the fed has been letting the markets lead the way for the last three meetings. and i think that this one is no different when you look at fed funds futures. they're saying, you know, it's 75, 8 0% chance of the cut in october. and i think that tha
