america's adversaries lost a rare internal restraint on president trump's inconstant and transactional security instin snstincts. the world is now a more dangerous place. tucker carlson says yay. >> it is great news for america, especially for the large number of young people who would have been killed in pointless wars if bolton stayed on the job. if you're wondering why so many progressives are mourning bolton's firing tonight, it's because fundamentally was a man of the left. there was not a human problem john bolton was not totally convinced could be solved with the brute force of government. that's an assumption of the left, not the right. >> tucker's gone through his own pretzel. the part about the left is a tad odd. but that's a more rand paul view. again, you were making your point about john bolton, why is anybody surprised. if you remember him from the first or the second bush administration, he's a hawk. i think it's wrong to say he came to work every day looking to start a war. he just did not rule out the use of military force to intimidate people. >> the most telling thing i saw was an ano

trump is a racist in america is racist. the city that voted most for trump in the country is abilene, texas, 100 30,000 people. 10% black. they elected a black suy as mayor. first black mayor in their history. how can attempt that's racist turn around and vote for a black guy to be mayor? the answer is, america is not a racist country. >> the country is less racist. i can't believe republican eisenhower, a very long time ago. now times have changed. speaking of times changing, joe biden, back to a story, i guess he had big complications when he was helping kids swim at the pool, lifeguarding as a day. he recounted a meeting he had. >> it was a bad move. he had a bunch of bad boys. you, off the board. he came off. not a joke. there's a guy named bill, the only white guy and he did off the post. he's the mechanic. he cut offha a 6-foot chain. he walked to the car and say i'm going to wrap this chain around your head. so i walked out with aam chain d said, when i tell you get off the board, i shouldn't have called you. i apologize for that. he said you apologize? i said i apologize for what i said. he said okay, my heart began to beat again. >> i

trump during the summer. it's not how the s president has delayed sanctions on turkey over the purchase of s400 system. congress passed the sanctions under america's adversary through sanction acts in response to russia's attack in 2016 pre-we have the sanctions anfor reason. they advance america's national security interest. by not imposing them, this president is failing to help russia accountable and sending a dangerous message to other countries that they can buy russian weapons systems withouta consequences. this administration has resisted every step of the way.si mr. president, to imagine what a legitimate american president, a president who is not a pollutant puppet would do in the situation. how would the protector country? first a legitimate president would not endanger the relationship with the key ally to gain political advantage home. and with solidarity the alleys nt providing appropriate securities. i'm sure they would not welcome russian back into the g summit. and third they would impose sanctions on turkey and send a clear message to the world that the united states is serious about imposing pressure on the russian defense indust

bhap is interesting is it has expertises of two kinds of america that we talk about a lot in political area right now. donald trump carried the s suburban district. this district has that, and there is rural, and outlying areas here that have become more friendly here. in terms of the significance of this, he carried this by double digits. he carried this district by 12 points. the democrats trailed by only 905 votes. it was the closest thing you could get to a tie. next, the question, if this comes back razor thin again. back in 2018, it may be alife and well. if they win this comfortably, if he gets close to that trump romney measure, that would be good news for trump and for the republicans. >> let's dig even deeper. >> phil rucker, the white house bureau chief, and wes moore. new york's number one poverty fighting organization. paul, you're our local expert, let's start with you. your take aways from the president's push last night, do you think it helps dan bishop win today. >> it is hard to say that. last night president trump asked the crowd and nearly no hands went up. so if he is relying on the ko koud -- crowd. there

s supremacists. we're in a battle for the soul of america. that's what's at stake. this country can overcome four years of donald trumpith great difficulty, but eight years, eight years of trump, i believe will forever change the character and nature of the country we are. america's unique in all of history. it's an idea, an idea. american creed, all men and women are created equal. we've never fully lived up to that, but we've never walked away from it. it's genius. every generation of americans, every generation has opened wider and wider access for more and more people. that's why it's never gathered dust in our history books. we need a president who once again values honesty, decency, treating everyone with dignity and respect, leaving no one behind, giving everyone a fair shot and understanding that there's something bigger than our individual selves. >> i want to go now to jessica dean who's on the ground there in iowa. biden has decided clearly that this fight over ukraine and what the president and rudy giuliani have done is one he wants to engage in. >> yeah, that's right. earlier today he talked to the media
