why doesn't the impeachment message resonate as much as maybe tom steyer wishes it did?g, to be honest, but i don't think it's a salient or very helpful argument heading into 2018. we don't want to put donald trump on the ballot. we don't want to make 2018 a presidential year. we want it to be a midterm election year in the first term of a president which historically is already difficult for the incumbent president. and we want to focus really on how the republican party really is bought and paid for by russia at this point. how they're trying to take away your insurance and all those things that are part of the modern republican party. once -- hopefully democrats win big in 2018 in, my estimation obviously, then we can decide how to deal with donald trump. always remembering that there's always mike pence right behind him, so it's not like -- >> so you believe this should be done at the ballot -- it sounds like you believe this is better at the ballot box than in a committee hearing? >> i actually think that donald trump needs to be held accountable and i look forward

idea of corruption or collusion is something democrats have already started talking about from the tom steyers of the world to nancy pelosi. it is something that they'll continue to press on the campaign trail. that could ultimately hurt the republicans. >> errin you cover race and ethnicity in the "associated press," and one of the things you've covered is his problem of race. one of the things that i took notice of is that to this minute, before i went on this show a few moments ago, donald trump is the only world leader and only president or former president that i can find that has not personally said anything about the death of kofi annan, the first african to have that position. how are you the sitting president of the united states, almost recent -- probably recent secretary general of the united nations, a nobel prize laureate dies and you're tweeting about an investigation on you, you can tweet about everything in the world and you cannot even come to personally, not the secretary of state, personally give the condolences of your office and your nation to someone of the magnitude of k

tom steyer has been running around the country doing impeachment related events and has drawn crowds, reportedly drawn crowds in places like tulsa, oklahoma where you wouldn't expect a crowd like that. do you think that's where the energy is and people should try to embrace that? >> i do think in some areas you find the energy there. and he's certainly finding it in areas you wouldn't expect. but what it really comes down to it, when you're actually talking one on one with voters, they want to hear about health care. they want to hear about jobs. they want to hear about how you are going to make their life better. yeah, impeachment, the investigation, trump, all of that is of interest. but when it really comes down to the conversations, they want know about themselves and their communities. >> i want to ask you about, again, nancy pelosi has come under fire from republicans. you know she has said, you know, they spend all kinds of money against her. they demonize her. saying that aside, if in fact she were not to be because she couldn't or she decided to step aside, did not become the

tom steyer spending millions talking about it. that is hanging over this entire conversation, impeachment and investigations. and it's one of the reasons that the president is worried about the midterm election, boy, his life changes immensely -- >> quickly, john. >> if you look at the schumer and pelosi talking point and messaging, you would think it's the year 2006 and 2008. it's like we're fighting to lower health care costs for -- >> right. >> americans. >> it's like the pretrump era material. it's like your base is on fire and they are ready to impeach the guy yesterday. but they know that that is a dangerous tact to take right now. it is fascinating seeing some of their talking points to apply to a world that isn't there right now. >> one of the thing that emerges, the fight between lebron james and donald trump, the most fascinating thing being melania trump inserting herself into this in a way she didn't necessarily have to. her spokeswoman said looks like lebron james is working to do good things on behalf of our next gen

jonathan, andrew gillum backed by bernie sanders, backed by the money of tom steyer, is that the sameessage, is that left-leaning candidacy going to resonate with florida voters? is he going to have to adjust? >> well, any candidate who wants to win a general election adjusts some. the question is whether with trump's tweets today, they will pour such a bucket full of mud on top of him it will hard to get out of it. >> how well is he known statewide? >> he is not known statewide. that's the issue who defines who is he. not for democrats but for the swing independents who could not vote yesterday because it's a closed primary in florida. so, what we don't know in florida is which way the independents will go this time. in the past, they tended to trend republican. but there are quite a number of disaffected republicans who are now describing themselves as independents. and they might be open to an argument from the democrat, not wanting to go with the trump guy, the trump robot, desaintes because they don't like trump. >> let's talk about desantis, he's got that ad and his son with bui

some people aren't like tom steyer.y're being honest but the reality is if they take the house they will impeach the president. and if we get that message out -- >> only if he deserves it. >> -- to the deplorables, to people like me -- >> glad you're calling yourself deplorable. i'm very proudly a deplorable. >> that's good. >> if we convince my fellow deplorables that this is a referendum on the trump presidency, that they are trying to nullify 2016 then we have a fighting chance but we're the underdogs. we have to be scrappy and fight. >> certainly that scenario you have to put out is that you won't get turnout if you say you're the underdog, i totally get it. but from your point of view, joan, you have to act like you don't have in the the bag. >> it's race by race and these are local races, especially these house races. they're local races so people have to focus on local issues. it can't be just counting on anger at trump. that fires up the base but doesn't get everybody out the door to vote so i don't take anythin

you've got tom steyer on one side saying do it now, do it yesterday.mething democrats are returning on. then a lot of people in the party again approaching it with trepidation. >> the trepidation the democratic leaders have, like nancy pelosi, there in 1998 is, they saw what happened. the timeline in '98 basically this. lewinsky scandal broke in january. possibility of an affair. st starr investigation proceeded in august. i lied. i did have the affair. accused of perjury and republicans had a decision to make. put it aside? wait until after the election or press full steam ahead? polling showed the public was not turning against bill clinton but the republican base telling them you got the votes to impeach this guy. we've been looking to get this guy a number of years. your chance. use it. if you want us to turn up on election do, do this. republican voted exactly one month before election day in 1998 in the house to open impeachment inquiry. do it after the election but make no mistake about it, we are the party of impeachment. that fired up democrat

outside groups, democrats, super-pacs associated with george soros and tom steyer trying to take me down$3 million. they know i'm the only conservative that stands up to lead on this issue and win the senate seat in november and work with president trump to secure the border. this is so important to the people i represent. i'm passion that about it. i will not let it go. trish: the passion comes through. thank you, congressman for come here. >> thank you, trish. trish: shares of tesla are falling as investors remain jittery about ceo elon musk's announcement that he is considering taking tesla private. now the sec may be getting involved. we'll have the latest for you. >>> president trump's lawyers responding to a request from robert mueller to interview the president. saying not so fast. should he sit down for a one-on-one? that is next. >> why do you want to get him under oath? do you think we're fools? you want to get him under oath to trap him into perjury. two, down and back up. our phones are more than just phones. they are pocket sized personal trainers... last minute gift finders

the campaign is funded by tom steyer. the democratic leadership has resisted calls for impeachment. "the new york times" reports house democrats readers have privately urged members to avoid the topic of impeachment. some see fear it will hurt the parties chances in november. other democratic lawmakers have been publicly pushing impeachment for over a year. we go now to one of the first, to houston, texas, where we're joined by democratic congressman out great who introduced articles of impeachment last year. welcome back to democracy now! wantabout why you president trump impeached now, and have your reasons changed over this year? you were the first openly introduce articles of impeachment against the wishes of the democratic establishment. >> thank you for allowing me to be on the program. this is a very sad time in the history of our country. this is not something that i enjoy talking about, nor is it something i would like to do. but i think it is becoming increasingly clear that the president will have two options. one, he can resign from office. two, he can face impeachment.

he had the support of tom steyer. he had the support of george soros. the fact is it is a big deal that an african-american nominee for governor is now going to be on the ticket in november. has there been any reaction so far to de santis' inelegant at best "monkey" comments? >> yeah, exactly. and the campaign did give me that response, this is something that he says, quote, frequently and that this had nothing to do with race. but the democratic side is saying that this is from the florida democratic party chairman says it's disgusting that ron de santis is launching his general election campaign with racist dog whistles. i asked one of the spokespeople on the gillum campaign, what do you think about the de santis campaign is saying this and they said bless his heart. this feels like what we've seen with the trump campaign over and over again. i say campaign in the broader sense that it's usually when the president is out on the campaign trail and in my experience in covering the campaign that there have been dog whistles like this before and the media

tom steyer was involved in that campaign, george soros was.ut what caused andrew gillum who was not running ahead in the polls, what you think caused that victory. >> well, the senator's endorsement was huge for us. while some of the other opponents were airing tv commercials, we are doing rallies with senator sanders in tampa and orlando, gave us a huge boost. we did a statewide bring it home bus tour. the gillum surge, as many folks heard about, was real and it showed up on election day. we've been talking about the issues that will motivate our voters to get out to the polls in november. we've been on that for 18 months and will stay on that all the way through november 6th. >> what's the response to what desantis calls the socialist issue, but when i talked to andrew, he was not shy about his progressive policies around health care and wages and things like that. how do you move forward with that in an electorate that is a little more conservative than andrew gillum is? >> sure. ultimately this approach has not been tried in a gubernatoria

>> there's a lot of money also, to both of you, jonathan and jim, spent on this race, you had t tom steyers on the democratic side. and bill nelson being challenged by rick scott, of course a former statewide office holder, that could end up being one of the races that decides who controls the senate. >> andrea, florida is an expensive state to run in. one thing i want to say about base politics, and it goes to your last question is, how much did esantis will play on the mo incendiary rhetoric, it's day one, we'll see, but if we've learned anything from donald trump's election, it's that money is not dispositive today. it's how strident will each be and, you know, you say certain things and they take off on twitter, and it defeats a $100 million ad buy. so money will not necessarily be everything here. >> and the other thing i want to ask both of you about was the president's comments to evangelical leaders at the white house after the press left, so there was no coverage of this, but apparently, according to all comments, he in speaking to these leaders talked about what if the democrats w

he is endorsed by bernie sanders and liberal billionaire tom steyer.e will face off against republican ron desantis. >> set most liberal candidate the democrat party nominated in state of florida by a country mile in a governor's race. he wants to abolish i.c.e. he want as billion dollar tax increase. he wants a single payer health care system in florida which would bankrupt the state. i'm trying to make florida even better. he wants to make florida venezuela. liz: president trump also slamming gillum tweeting not only did congressman ron desantis easily win the republican primary, but his opponent in november is his biggest dream, a failed socialist mayor named andrew gillum, who let crime and many other problems flourish in his city. this is not what florida wants or needs. let's bring in former trump campaign advisor michael caputo. great to see you, michael. your reaction to gillum's surprise win? >> i will tell you, he only won by 3% but certainly outperformed his polls by a long shot. he was supposed to be third at the best. and really surged for

charismatic, good campaigner, came from behind, worked his tail off, but he also has big money from tom steyer, who is positioning himself for what looks like a 202020 run and has cultivating these self-styld progressives, liberal democrats across country. he is trying to sort of be the koch brothers and donald trump all the same time in the democratic party and gillum is a big success story for him and for bernie sanders to a certain degree. gillum and his tv ads was talking about impeaching trump. on the other side, we have donald trump's single most ardent defender, arguably, and united states congress, who has been there at every turn, tried to undercut the justice department and the prosecutors going after trump's associates, so you really have the absolute quadruple blast maga versus mr. impeachment. the real story for florida voters, a pretty decent chance we won't talk as much about florida as they should. >> shannon: between these races, you will be unable to escape the ads, they will be on your tv night and day and the radio and i today. he won't be able to get away. let's talk about

tom steyer's brags that his list is bigger than the nra to impeach the president.e do they want to do with our health care system? they want to bankrupt medicare. cost more than $32 trillion but would end medicare as we know it. 55% of americans of health care based upon their employer. that would be no more. this is the plan democrats have. but you also see it much different -- it's results versus resistance. >> shannon: we have a lot of fox news poll survey. one of the top things people talked about they care about in this election is health care. above that was the economy. good news for you guys on the economy. when people are asked who is most responsible for the current economy, far and away, trump-republicans took the honors. 44%. democrats and president obama at 15%. you have that as a positive but you also have this talking about your opinion of the democratic party and the republican party. democratic party has a 50% favorable. republican party is upside down for 17 points. 39% favorable. giving credit for the economy but they are not happy with the party

he was backed by tom steyer, bernie sanders, and the right's favorite financial boogieman, george soros. his nomination will be viewed by many as the ultimate test of electability of progressive democrats at a time when they seem wary about the electability of said progressives. as i mentioned, this fight is already off to a nasty start. fox news read a statement on air saying they don't condone what their frequent guest, ron desantis, said about urging florida voters not to monkey this up by electing gillum. the desantis campaign is saying that it is absurd. i'm joined by the expert in florida politics, none other than politico's mark kacaputo. he joins donna edwards, michael steele, former rnc chair. welcome all. mr. caputo, wow. man, oh, man, you delivered the final major primary night of the season and florida delivers the big shocker. is it fair to say that both parties picked candidates that the other party says is unelectable? >> yeah, both sides are high fiving and they think the other guy will be easy meat. i suggest that we're really in uncharted territory here. not only did d

now tom steyer is financing a multimillion dollar campaign to impeach can -- president trump.lier over the phone. >> it's not that there was more information. what was different was this information came through the in the condition of a guilty plea or a guilty verdict. people started to take it seriously. one of the things people are talking about is what is the standard for impeachment? it is political, not legal. as long as economy is doing really well it will manage unless the president does something really bad. >> as long as the economy stays strong as it is, unless donald a verys truly guilty of high crime, i just don't think it is very likely to happen area >> what about that? how high a crime does it have to be? the way to think about this, i know what it says in the constitution about high crimes and misdemeanors area. has the president broken his oath to the american people? has he broken his oath to the constitution? is our democracy under threat? if the answer to all of those questions is a resounding yes. i believe that the man from the heritage foundation statem

the big union bosses, washington-based special interests, billionaires tom steyer, george soros out towe do that with a army of grassroots volunteers. people go to all the time scottwalker.com join us up will help us out. people across the state and the country can make a difference. neil: you're down in some of the boss, if memory serves me right, governor, you were down in every single poll including the recall vote, you were down double digits and won fairly handily. having said that do you get feeling like custer, that your luck could run out? >> well, to if you do the right thing, eventually if the truth gets out you do the right things you ultimately end up a victor. for us that's what he did. set out first reforms, our polls were so low, "time" magazine called us dead man walker. we came back in 2014. we'll come back here. when people see the difference in my opponent, tony ebers, largely bought and paid for by the teachers union and his role as state superintendent, his policies took the state back years ago where unemployment was 9.2%. which have in this state, six months in a

tom steyer is adding $10 million to his drive to help democrats control house.illion he has already committed. increase voters motivated by the idea of impeaching president trump. iglobal news 24 hours a day powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries, this is bloomberg. tom: thank you so much. international maelstrom we've been talking about, there is an american boom economy. where'd you see that? you see it at home depot. joseph feldman is with the chelsea advisory group. he has followed home depot over the years. there seems to be a reset in the revenue line. it's a reset of make america great again economy. can home depot sustain 8%? joe: the 8% is pretty impressive. that's going to be hard to sustain. they have been sustaining this single digit number. their guidance calls for a mid-single-digit same-store's sales. this gives the fact that even though housing may be slowing a little bit in terms of sales, home prices are ok. tom: it's a 25% time again. it's been a more than lucrative investment. how much of the internation

the democratic party, the democratic socialists, ocasio-cortez, the sanders, all of this crowd, tom steyergoing to be whipping up the enthusiasm about impeachment. privately, these groups are going to be driving the heart of the democratic party towards this which leads to an interesting thing particularly if the democrats don't win the control of the house. if they win control of the house, there's going to be a split between those who want immediate movement on impeach. and those who want a more measured approach, and that's going to play itself out. but if they lose control, i think that in some ways is even more interesting to contemplate because i think it's going to actually end up in a weird place. the democrats will split with the hard core that hates trump sort of digging themselves into obstructionism and a minority of the democratic party saying we gave you a chance to run your kind of campaign, a left-wing appeal to america, and it didn't work. so we're going to -- we, the sort of more centrist democrats -- we're going to find ways to advance the country so we can point to posi
