what is the koch reason for that? well, the republican candidate supported trump on both trade and immigration. at that confab i was mentioning earlier and colorado, charles koch made a big deal about "unie previously divided." what does that mean? how are these latest retaliatory efforts actually doing that? trump is the one uniting people, for all the talk of divisiveness, trump enjoys an 88% approval rating among republicans, according to "the wall street journal," nbc poll. only george w. bush in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 saw support like that. but the koch network and others talk a good game about unity, embracing change, seizing opportunities. but when the president comes along who is actually embracing a new path, something different, on behalf of the american people, let's try a new thing now, the kochs and the globalists just have their blinders on. they won't have any of it. i had to laugh when, in a future on the koch retreat, it said the following, "democrats who attacked the koch brothers in recent y

it has the word koch on the fountain. why? money to lincoln center, to the met. >> i think they're new york's biggest philanthropists. >> they are, which makes me think about the trump foundation. what is it? under investigation. >> now, they have always been sort of demonized by the left. harry reid made a famous statement on the floor saying, citing the koch brothers. and the reason is that it's political. the koch brothers spend hundreds of millions of dollars on elections. it's interesting. they're now willing to withdraw from a key senate race in north dakota not because of politics. they're going to eschew political expediency for policy. their policies are they're not social conservatives. they're very libertarian. they believe in free markets, and they do a lot of things to educate the public on free markets so people will understand why they should be voting for candidates that are free markets. but when the party abandons its principles and you can see this where they're upset about in the world of free trade and tar

and it is the same deal here with the koch brothers. if they're serious that standing up for the country and putting the country ahead of the party, they can do it better than most of the senators, frankly. >> thanks for joining me. one last thing. if you've listened to our newest episode of our podcast, why is this happening, he has a new article that goes with the episode. if you haven't listened, download it now. tomorrow, a new episode up. i've been looking forward to it about, school segregation more than 60 years after brown v board of education. you can get it at nbc news.com/why is this happening. that's it for me. "the 11th hour" with brian williams starts now. >>> rudy giuliani's wild ride. multiple tv interviews today, three on fox news alone and tonight from the "new york times," the question, what are we witnessing? is he changing trump's defense on collusion, moving the goal post on the fly as we watch? >>> plus, paul manafort, the former trump campaign chairman faces the first trial of the mueller investigation all just ho

he says he doesn't need the kochs' money or bad ideas. fter the president was criticized at the koch summer network meeting. there was talk there the mega donor brothers are turning their backs on republican candidates, as well might even support democrats. now, this matters not just for this drama we're talking about but the huge divide it represents within the gop between ardent trump supporters who see the president and his populist policies as the future and the traditionalists. >> we've seen some great success. tax reform. we've seen justices. we've seen va reform. i could go on and on. but we've also seen tremendous setback. those setbacks are significant. a $1.3 trillion spending bill. then we see families being separated at the border. we want to make it clear that building policy coalitions as we move forward, we think, is the best way to cut through the divisiveness we're seeing across the country and to actually mobilize on some change and make progress on some of these issues. >> the spokesperson from the koch network. this is

trump hitting back at the kochs tweeting early tuesday, the globalist koch brothers who have become a joke in real republican circles are against strong borders and powerful trade. i never sought their support because i don't need their money or bad ideas. the president picking a fight with its network of donors, which has pledged to invest more money in this midterm election cycle than ever before. up to $400 million. >> kevin, come out. >> reporter: the koch political machine making it clear it won't help congressman kevin kramer for now. the republican vying to unseat democratic senator heidi heitkamp in north dakota. one big reason? kramer voted for the $1.3 billion spend bill earlier this year. since 2010 the koch's have spent heavily on candidates who oppose tariffs and support government spending, among other issues. that puts republicans who may need koch money in a tough spot, especially which he former trump adviser steve bannon issued this warning tuesday. you take koch money, it's going to be toxic. candidates like marcia blackburn of ten depend and jim jordan of ohio both

liked the kochs. in the presidential election. so no bridges left to be burnt. but the kochs' network is comprised of hundreds of donors and businessmen. so there is an element of this that could be a risk for the president if he wants to upset this very powerful network. at the same time, this really highlights the split in the republican party and donald trump now is the leader of the party. it has gone in his direction. we've seen republicans take his side on some of the key policy issues and that is why the koch network this weekend expressed such frustration with republicans that they would side with the president on issues like trade, why they want to hold him accountable, but frankly the president lashes out because he is the leader of the republican party. >> doesn't he real rise thize t koch network gives millions of dollars to conservative think tanks, and very often that is part of the base that reports the republican leadership. >> and they are also spending millions right now, they have co

it didn't mention the koch pros. di heitkamp is here and she'll fight for north dakota and put them first. so that was an indication that she won't tout the nomination by the kochs. she will say, i won't do what the kochs say, doyle what you the voters say. >> what is her position in a trump state? >> she is doing pretty well. i think some of the things the koch network, they bhik her, the reason they thanked her, she rolled back some of these dodd frank banking regulations. she was a leader on that. she was a co-sponsor of the bill. and that's something that she's touted. she said that it supports community bankers. that's something that got the koches attention and that's what they thanked her for. donald trump likes heidi heitkamp, too. yes, vice president pence was out last week in support of kevin kramer but heidi heitkamp shows up at the white house in these photo ops with donald trump. but in the state, she is saying i'm going to support the president when it is appropriate for north dakotans and i'll oppose th

, people who are tied to the kochs in some way or another. they have their fingers everywhere. in the white house you've got lawyers who are tied to that. and so they have it both ways. you're absolutely correct -- lou: they're trying to have it both ways. >> yeah, so far they -- yes, you're correct. here in california we see that, you know, it's big business interests pushing to keep the immigration problem from being solved. both at the low-income level with agriculture worker es and at the highest level with tech workers in silicon valley. lou: that hasn't changed in 40 years, all about labor. western growers association and on it goes. >> there's a deep state. we've got to remember there's ooh deep swamp too. >> that's right. lou: armed and dangerous. thank you both. come back soon. >>> up next, remember when bernie sanders said this? >> today we say the function of a rational health care system is to provide quality care to all in a cost effective way. lou: eloquent. a new study has that cost effective price established now. wait until yo

the koch brothers speak for many. ey generally put tens of millions and sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars into campaigns republicans. if they are going to make an evaluation based on who supports the ideals and principles they believe, i think the trump and the party will not do well, and the chamber of commerce wing will do better. shery: will democrats be able to capitalize on these >> and fallouts with the koch brothers? -- cracks and fallouts with the koch brothers? >> if you have millions of dollars taken off the field if you are a democrat, that is a good thing. heidi heitkamp is running a different race, but having the koch brothers take their money and go somewhere else is good for her. happens with other senators, it is a really good thing for democrats. i certainly hope the koch brothers followthrough and take their money off the field in some places. shery: we were just talking to our trade reporter, and she was telling us how the administration has continued to bash canada, and we are hearing the ar

steve bannon to the koch brothers. day for the koch brothers about trade. this is what pushed them over the top, the idea that trade somehow bad which is the message that president trump put out there. they see these tariffs, the bail out of the farmers as fundamentally contradictory to everything they stand for. so they say of course we'll back republicans as we always have but we also might back a democrat who stands up to things like this. >> that's great. free trade, immigration, they have been drivers of american economic success. so trump is all about cultural republicanism. these guys are much more about classic economic republicanism, a small state and openness which again has been the real engines of america's success. great to see people standing up to this. >> thank you all for being on this morning. coming up -- all right you two. >> let the past be the past. >> exactly what i've been trying to say for 2000. donald trump's new defense strategy in the mueller probe is not new. but it continues. utter confusio

the koch brothers also spending heavily in advance of the midterm elections.epublicans are defending 42 open seats in november. that's something they have not had to do in nearly 100 years. my colleague leann caldwell is in colorado springs, colorado, where the koch brothers have convened their semiannual summit for conservative donors. let me ask you first of all what's changed. we talk about the koch brothers in tandem. how's this conference different and what are folks saying apt t -- about the prospects for the midterms? >> a lot has changed for the koch brothers. one brother has stepped down, but let me tell you about this conference. they have it twice a year. you have to donate $100,000 per year to be able to come, and so these are the wealthy, sometimes libertarian-minded donors who come together and talk about politics and policy, and we've seen a bit of a shift among the koch brothers or about the koch network over the past few months, and that is that they started attacking republicans, as well. i mean, don't get me wrong, they are spending $300 to

>> well i think the kochs and the president agree on the final objective. we want zero tariffs, zero subsidies. david: that would be great. >> zero non-tariff barriers. i think the kochs want that. i think president trump wants that. the question is the strategy. how do you go about actually achieving that? that is tough decision to make. trump has one procedure going about to bring them to the table, to negotiate. it looks like it works pretty well with the eu and juncker when he was here. david: sure does. >> bringing back china maybe. may be working with mexico. but you know the bottom line the kochs have been phenomenal for generations in this country supporting good, free market, pro-growth,. david: doing a lot of charity. i want to get to taxes and the plan to index capital gains and take inflation into account so you're not being charged double. one the tax cost, the the cost of inflation. immediately nancy pelosi said it is another giveaway to the rich. don't millions and millions of americans have stocks that could be taxed for capital gains as wel

plus, the koch network. they're now saying the trump administration is too divisive and is willing to give money to the democrats. i'll speak with a representative of the koch agency. they're using air marshals to put it out. we have new information. you might take something for your heart... or joints. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally discovered in jellyfish, prevagen has been shown in clinical trials to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. and help you feel more strength & energy in just 2 weeks. i'll take that. ensure high protein, with 16 grams of protein and 4 grams of sugar. ensure® i'm ray and i quit smoking with chantix. i tried cold turkey, i tried the patch. they didn't work for me. i didn't think anything was going to work for me until i tried chantix. chantix, along with support, helps you quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. i needed that to quit. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nic

let's talk about the koch brothers for a moment. l of a sudden the president is going to war with the koch brothers, who have been among the most ardent supporters of republicans over the years. the president tweeting this morning the koch brothers are total jokes, their network is highly overrated. he says, these are two nice guys with bad ideas. how risky is it to all of a sudden go to war with the koch brothers who have provided so much money to various conservative think tanks and influential organizations? >> look, they've never been trump fans. they disagree with him on almost every piece of economic policy, especially tariffs, for example. they made the case that we're going to support candidates, either democrat or republican, who support us. this is a big rift in the republican party. they were so dependable for republicans. they're not trump fans, period. i think the president just punched back. >> i hesitate to ever try to guess what is behind some of his tweets, but if he were to calculate this, you're not going to stop t

the koch brothers have now become a a household name. we are doing what professor maclean talked about before. we are exposing them, and so the education is important. and the second think that's important is, , i'm sorry i'm a broken record about this, is the engagement and connectingt the dots. and connecting it to the things that matter to people like the fight on pre-existing conditions. >> i think a tremendous amount of money is being spent on the right, as you say. that doesn't have a counterpart. and yet i would agree, the old adage that there's two sources of power, right, money and power, and the reason this koch network has mobilized billionaires and multimillionaires in the way that they have is because they disagree with the majority, a majority who believes in social security, the police and public education, that wants action on climate, the once to support teachers and all of these other things. they understand a can't persuade that majority so they're trying to go around that majority by funding all these organizations, by

with general kelly at his side, president trump is going to war with the powerful koch brothers, who e waging a campaign against the present strategy of using tariffs to leverage new trade deals. >> because of new tariffs, our farmers livelihoods are at risk. carmakers, factory workers and macs you don't like manufacturers. farmers want trade, not aid. tell the administration and congress, open market and end tariffs. >> president trump took a blow torch to them, tweeting they have become a total joke in real republican circles, that he has beaten them at every turn and that they are two nice guys with bad ideas. and it's not just tariffs. the network recently announced its willing to bet democrats over republicans if the democrats policies more closely align with the coke agenda. a spokesman saying we support policies that help all people improve their lives. we look forward to working with anyone to do so. on monday the network announced it would not support republican kevin kramer, who is locked in a tight race with north dakota democrat senator heidi heitkamp. >> it was very disap

that is the antithesis of the very libertarian koch agenda. opposed to the government getting involved in anything that has to do with the market, so they just said, enough. and this is part of a pattern, although i think it's the most aggressive step that the koch brothers have taken, certainly the most aggressive step that the koch brothers have taken from sort of a passive resistance that you saw in 2016 when they just stayed out of the presidential politics. now what they are saying is we will punish republicans who go along with these policies, and that's a skirmish in this republican civil war, a magnitude of which we have not seen given how much money they have at their disposal. >> which really raises a good question about what is the trump strategy going to be about rousing the base. is it going to be shutting down the government? i don't think so. >> he said he's willing to go out six days a week if that's what it takes. will there be interest? >> and what else? is it calling brian williams and jeremy peters and jim warren the enemy?

haven't espoused the policies they promised the kochs they would. there's -- it's about tone and it's about their policies. they're not happy with the tariffs. they're not happy with government spending. they're not happy with the family separation of the border, the lack of a daca deal. all these things have reallying a gaited the koch network and the elected -- the top brass of this network. they say that this is a warning shot to republicans that you need to get on board or we're not going to support you. >> so when these officials are describing these koch officials, the president and the administration is toxic as destructive, what was the reaction in the room? what was your take away about -- is this all about taking down the president? was this about something else? >> yeah. it's interesting. i think this is a warning shot to republicans and to the president to say look, these are not traditional republican and conservative ideology that we support. the reaction in the room, we'll see. it's mixed. it's tightly controlled. we were able to speak

the co-chair of the koch brothers is brian hooks. tapled was offered up. -- this statement is offered up. the difficuvisiveness of the wh house is causing long-term damage. how is the koch brothers break which is not on board with the conservative principles? >> it undercuts the enthusiasm. the koch brothers are desperate to change the gop. they don't want a trade war republican party. that's the last thing they want. the big problem with one tweet, the president can wipe away the advantage they bring with $400 million. that is what they are facing in the next few months. >> that one tweet point. is that what we saw with the threat of the shutdown? republicans are content to run on the economy. they know everything can be thrown off guard with this one tweet like it was with the shutdown. >> right. that unsettles candidates. that is the last thing you want. usually politics shuts down in august and doesn't kickoff again in january. that will not happen. it will be a dynamic election. again, the odds are in favor of the democratic part

the koch members are raising the bar.influential they are, they plan to spend $400 million in the two-year election cycle. a shift for the party. >>> ahead, lebron james taking on the president's attitude toward athletes. >> he is trying to take on our sport. >> what else king james says about the national anthem protest. ahead on "early start." gs to know about medicare. mport first, it doesn't pay for everything. say this pizza is your part b medical expenses. this much - about 80% - medicare will pay for. what's left is on you. that's where an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company comes in. this type of plan helps pay some of what medicare doesn't. these are the only plans to carry the aarp endorsement for meeting their high standards of quality and service. so call unitedhealthcare insurance company today and ask for your free decision guide. with this type of plan, you'll have the freedom to choose any doctor who accepts medicare patients. and when you travel, your pla

he's right as rain and he's the only person with the guts to take this issue on because koch brotherssiness round table, the chamber of commerce and wall street are perfectly willing to keep this country a debtor nation inperpetuity. whether we are talking about the trade department or the national debt. charles: soybean prices peaked in 2012. by the time president trump was inaugurated they were down 50%. i never saw one article about the plight of the soybean farmer. i never heard one iota of care or worry about how their prices plummeted and how they were in trouble. lou: and you didn't hear about the external debt and the $600 billion per year stolen by the chinese in intellectual property. he's the first president to deal with it. the chinese have been ripping us for the past 30 years. charles: it many obvious with the retaliatory tariffs these countries believe they can drive a wedge between trump and the folks who voted for him. do you think they will have any success? lew they will have some -- lou: they will have some success at the margin. i always thought the chinese were t

since then, we're talking about , george soros and the koch brothers involved. keep this in mind. let's look at the differences. in -- heput it all -- the koch brothers fund a lot of republicans, but i've never seen them funding any riots. also, let's keep in mind the money. we are talking about the money. last i checked, trump isn't even taking a salary. what about hillary? she's getting a senate pension, probably getting a secretary pension. bill is getting his pension, obama is getting his pension. supposedly getting involved with netflix. all of these pensions and this money. trump is trying to clean up america, and for some reason, instead of talking about her politics and money, talk about the real money and the crooked deals. host: we would like to thank sheila krumholz >> sunday, 4:00 p.m. eastern on real america, the president, june 1968lm detailing through the camera lens of the white house naval for graphic unit. >> at 3:30 a.m., the president was awakened with the news that senator robert kennedy, amidst a victory in the california presidential primary, had been shot an

we also, adam, know that the president now is going to war with the koch brothers. know that over the weekend the koch brothers broke with trump. and now he thinks the koch brothers have become a total joke in real republican circles. and i'm just wondering if warring with the deep-pocketed koch brothers is the answer for the republicans let alone this president. >> well, the base, again, i mean, that old shoot somebody down fifth avenue thing that trump said seems to hold. whether its -- turning away from family values or cozying up to putin or free trade, you know, the base, including people that have been stalwart republicans for decades, they seem to be standing by trump no matter what he does. >> adam smith in tampa, thank you so much. we'll look for the president down there in just a little while. >>> meantime, they are untraceable, undetectable and starting tomorrow, you could download and print a firearm at home. the president tweeted out that he may have some concerns. so let's talk to the connecticut attorney general who is one of several states suing to s

the koch network had its -- has been having a meeting this weekend. this quote from brian hooks, president of the charles koch foundation. the divisiveness of this white house is causing long-term damage. when in order to win on an issue someone else has to lose, it makes it very difficult to unite and solve the problems of this country. there was even some hints among some at the koch network meeting that, you know what, maybe this partisan strategy isn't working. >> the kochs are greatly opposed to the tariffs as well as to some elements of more hawkish foreign policy that donald trump embraces so it doesn't surprise me there would be a lot of criticism at this meeting. this argument about where libertarians fit in, where do social conservatives fit in, where do moderate suburban republicans. the backbone of the george w. bush coalition, right, are they even still republicans? these are all questions that are going to be sorted out in the next two years. >> yes, and in the two years beyond that. this is all evolving. >> we'll see how it plays out, as

on the other and the definition of the republican party. >> the koch brothers made the decision thatmp's position on trade and the economy they were really no longer going to just stand by and watch as republican politicians supported these. this, of course, is part of the beating heart of the trump movement. you have trade, immigration and economic policy all very populist positions on those issues. that is the -- they are completely opposed to the government getting involved in anything that has to do with the markets. so they just said enough. this is part of a pattern although i think it is the most aggressive step that the koch brothers have taken from a passive resistance that you saw in 2016 when they stayed out of presidential politics. now what they are saying is we will punish republicans who go along with the policies and that is a skirmish in this republican civil war, a magnitude of which we have not seen given how much money they have at their disposal. >> which really raises a good question about what is the trump strategy going to be about rousing the base? is it shut

there was even some hints among some at the koch network meeting.what, maybe this partisan strategy isn't working. >> the kochs are philosophical libertarians greatly opposed to the tariffs andrea mentioned as well as to some elements of more hawkish republican policy donald trump embraces. it wouldn't surprise me there would be a lot of criticism at this meeting. this argument about the future of the conservative movement, where libertarians fit in, those moderate suburban republicans. the backbone of george w. bush coalition, are they still republicans? these are all questions that are going to be sorted out in the next two years. >> yes, and in the two years beyond that. this is all evolving. >> we'll see how it plays out, if trump plays the culture war card. >> i don't know if the young people are going to come out, the new voters you're talking about are going to come out. productivity is platflat. that 4.1 is a a great number now. >> all right. finally before we go, we have a little anniversary to celebrate today. as i mentioned earlier one of

i don't believe the koch brothers will start spending on democrats. reform that brings democrats into the fold. i'll wait and see before i start looking. i can't believe they're going to spend a significant amount of democrats. >> what the koch brothers are doing, they play long game so when they go into criminal justice reform, they realize they can siphon off african-americans. they're now going deep into immigration and building into community-based modeling similar to what the evangelical movement has done in the latino community. he recognizes they don't need all these viewers, they need to siphon off. it's basically the karl rove playbook he did for bush. so in the interim, they're going to support some democrats because they don't like what's in the white house. they say that that's not part of the republican spectrum. in the long term, they're actually trying to make inroads into these communities. >> very interesting. >>> all right. just changing gears every so slightly, "the new york times" is out with a new piece about the renewed status of

. >> i'll give you the most influential donors on the right. koch brothers are not making it easy. repared to spend millions, but not giving it all to republicans. not backing the republican running against heitkamp in that senate race. how significant is that break? based on the fact that republicans have forgotten conservative financial principles. >> this is huge. it shows that the koch brothers are more interested in principled wins than trump tribalism. they will back candidates who are in support of free trade and support of welcoming immigration policy. i think what this really does is this takes the wind out of the sails from a lot of people on the left who want to make the koch brothers the political boogie men. this is more about policy than partisan wins. that is why we see a lot of feathers ruffled on the right with this announcement. >> there are still conservatives concerned about massive deficits. phil, good to see you. thank you. >>> jury selection begins this morning in the federal trial of former trump campaign chairman paul manafort for alleged financial crimes. i
