>> trump: okay. that's just a figure of speech. >> stahl: just like-- no, it's like an embrace. >> trump: it-- well, let it be an embrace. let it be whatever it is to get the job done. >> stahl: yeah, but he's a bad guy. >> trump: look. let it be whatever it is. i get along with him really well. i have a good energy with him. i have a good chemistry with him. look at the horrible threats that were made. no more threats. no more threats. >> stahl: china. >> trump: i get along with him. it's very important. china, let's go. >> stahl: i'm skipping across the world here. you've slapped a lot of tariffs on them-- >> trump: $250 billion. >> stahl: going to do more? >> trump: might. might. >> stahl: round three? >> trump: they want to negotiate, lesley. they want to negotiate. >> stahl: are you ready? >> trump: look. >> stahl: are you ready to-- >> trump: i have a great chemistry also with president xi of china. i don't know that that's necessarily going to continue. i told president xi, we cannot continue

because he worked for donald trump, even though he said should trump run was independent of donald trump. >> there 2011, they ruled in cohen's favor, a win, another way of proving his loyalty. >> the way he initially described it to me was a father-son relationship, and when i asked him, why he has blind loyalty, he always threw the question back to me, would you do this for your father? >> at the end of the day, only people donald trump really considered family, anyone who considers themself to be almost a trump family member should really think about it. >> he fought for his boss by aggressively attacking donald trump's enemies, real or perceived. >> a war of words between a beauty queen and organizers of the miss usa pageant. rigged. just after the 2012 miss usa pageant, they claimed finalists were predetermined. >> i want the truth to be made known. >> he spoke with cohen's about his daughter's claims, and he said cohen is belligerent. >> it's absolutely terrifying to get you on the phone and intimidate you, but part of what a lawyer in that position is supposed to do is intimidating

he's been insulted by trump. he's, he's decided that that's it. >> narrator: in the west wing, all hell broke loose. >> don mcgahn, the legal counsel, bursts into reince priebus' office and says, "we've got trouble. not only do we have a special counsel appointed, but jeff sessions has just resigned." priebus says, "you're kidding me." heiebus goes running down the staircase intoest wing parking lot. >> finds sessions in his car preparing to lea, and he bangs on the door. "you got to come out. you got to come back in. you can't leave this w you can't just blow up like this." and priebus essentially almost has to drag him back up into the west wing, where vice president pence and steve bannon then come in and joinpr bus and talk sessions off the ledge. >> it's clear that the mueller ininvestigation is just ge started. we're going to head to washington, where the e house... >> narrator: across town, in an undisclosed secure location, the new special counsel, robert s. mueller iii, was just getting started. >> wheyo

if donald trump, jr.nd jared kushner took this meeting innocently and ignorantly and sort of stepped into -- you know, it's possible. but mr. manafort, he would have clearly known what the russians were up to. >> two nights before the meeting on june 7th, trump greeted supporters with what now sounds like a curious promise. >> we're going to be discussing all the things that have taken place with the clintons. i think you're going to find it very informative and very, very interesting. >> we just don't know if the speech donald trump made was a coincidence or not. and so the timing seems awfully strange. >> for all the attention the trump tower meeting would later get, goldstone says at the time he hardly gave it a second thought. >> i didn't care about a meeting. it sounds bad, but it's true. i didn't care. i wanted my client to be happy. that's always my ultimate goal. >>> coming up -- >> so tell us what happened. was the dirt on the democratic party and hillary clinton forthcoming? n the democratic par

trump hired him. >> the family and the trump organization and his father, fred trump, had been accused of racism in their housing practices. >> trump's regular lawyers, the ordinary kinds of lawyers, tell him, "settle it. just move on, do the right thing." and he asks roy cohn about it. and roy cohn says, "don't settle it. fight, fight, fight. you t to fight." and that becomes kind of his early credo and his approach, which is, "even if you're in the wrong, fight." >> we expect to be successful io urt. we're not doing this for y y other reason. >> narrator: theuntersued the u.s. government for $100 million. in court filings, cohn comred the department of justice to the nazis, alleging "gestapo-like" tactics. >> in a pattern we can recognize from trump's behavior to this day, attacking the accusers, attacking, indeed, thece department, as a way to sort of throw a smokescreen around the original crime. >> narrator: cohn's suit against the justice department was thrown out, trump forced t settle. they had lost. but in t press, trump and cohn declared victory. >> it was justike it didn't m

trump.n the 1950's, trump lived in a trump's-owned -- woody guthrie trump-owned building in brooklyn. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman with nermeen shaikh. "the new york times" expose, the reporters referenced several reporters who did groundbreaking work on trump's finances. one of them was the late wayne barrett who wrote the book "trump: the deals and the downfall." he appeared on [captioning made possible by democracy now!] in 2016 and said fred trump's financial support of donald trump was "unbelievably crucial in donald's rise to prominence. >> be opened his first office in manhattan, the rent was paid by his father's company out here on avenue the and brooklyn. everything that he did, whether be the grand hyatt, for example, to get the financing, he got the financing from two banks that his father had used, used his father's relationship banker. and the father had to sign the financing agreements. they're not going to get a 30 million

president trump, including an inflatable trump baby blimp - and if the british disliked trump beforeish protocol by publicly disclosing the details of a conversation he had with queen elizabeth. - he broke royal protocol by walking in front of the queen, but she quickly stepped forward to correct the error. - he also today had tea with the queen. he did keep her waiting for ten minutes. - video recorded the very punctual 92-year-old queen checking her watch prior to the president's arrival. - good lord. is there--is there any rule he didn't break? he's like, "president trump in hot water after pushing the queen into the royal swimming pool." for more on trump's u.k. visit, we're joined by an actual british person, gina yashere, everybody. [cheers and applause] gina, in the u.s.-- in the u.s., trump's u.k. visit seemed to not go so well, but as a british person, what do you think? - it was an unmitigated disaster, trevor. this cockwomble--yeah, that's what i called him-- he came--came to our country and insulted us. i mean, look what he did to our queen. he's cutting her off like he's

trump: right. ms. chinn: and the work that you've done with secretary perdue to get many out into our rural communities, we really appreciate the reverse-path auction through the fcc. missouri was awarded $254 million of that. it's going to connect 95,000 homes to high-speed internet. and we just really appreciate it. missourians appreciate what you're doing on their behalf to make their rural communities vibrant again, and to help the agriculture industry pass on to that next generation of farmers and ranchers. pres. trump: great. well, it's my honor. and you have a great race going on out there. ms. chinn: we do. pres. trump: and that will make a big difference. a very positive difference, the outcome. i won't say it because i'm not a political person, so i won't discuss that. [laughter] i won't discuss that in front of the press, okay? go ahead. how about yourself? ms. cundiff: that's funny. so missouri is well represented here. again, i'm from st. charles, missouri, representing the community banki

and three times visited the elder trump at trump tower.t long before donald trump declared his candidacy. goldstone says trump was there listening to a rap song. he said look 90 million views, a rapper called mac miller who recently passed away has recorded a song. had 90 million youtube views and it's about me. >> and i said to him, maybe do you think you should listen to the words and what they're saying about you perhaps? just an idea. all this money, ain't that [ bleep ] >> and he went it doesn't matter, 90 million views. the third time we went he said to emin, maybe next time i see you i'll be hosting you at the white house. >> before there was trump in the white house, there was trump the candidate. and the next time goldstone set foot in trump tower would be when he arrived for the meeting. coming up -- >> i get a phone call and he said to me initially, i'd like you to set up a meeting with the trumps. here we go. discover. i like your card, but i'm absolutely not paying an annual fee. discover has no annual fees. really? yeah. we j

trump and how much money fred trump had given donald trump was so much more than anybody thought.nd we started to look at the money, then we realized all these tax schemes were behind it. this is incredible reporting journey of one revelation after another. sometimes you do these projects and you spend weeks where you're sort of thinking we're attend of the road. we never, ever had two or three days where we thought okay, we're running out here. we had so many roads to go down, and there is even more left. it was an incredible just discovery. and once we got these documents, it just opened up. it was an alice in wonderland moment for us where we're like wow. >> and going at it through that route that you're describing with the fred trump empire and the surprises and donald trump's finances around the timing of that sale and stuff, clearly that led you to public facing documents that were -- you could get to through the fred trump business empire. >> real estate is public documents. this is where we started. and we started to see, for example, in beachhaven when we went back and lo

not an attack on trump. i think trump is right in a thematic sense. but you wouldn't elect trump unless you really really wanted to send the message. happy countries don't elect donald trump. the messages, the people in charge on both sides screwed up. >> sunday night at 8:00 eastern on c-span's q&a. c-span studentcam video competition is in full swing. this year's question is, what does it mean to be american? students and teachers from around the country have taken to social media, boasting about their entries. this teacher tweeted, with cakeg federalism in ap government as we work on our c-span studentcam documentary. centralthanks to our middle school, showcasing their studentcam project. this high school teacher tweeted, civic students kicking off their final project. answering the question, what does it mean to be an american? harrisburg academy teacher tweeting, g-7 students on an outing thursday morning. they were able to get pictures for their c-span classroom studentcam documentary. year, we are asking middle and high school students to prod

trump of

organization under fred trump and then under donald trump.o i mean one of the things i think, you know, we tried quite deliberately to do in our presentation of this story, again, is to make available to readers, you know, the actual documents so that if people are wondering whether this is somehow all made up, well, they can look at the documents for themselves. >> david barstow writing together with susan craig and russ buten. this is a very lengthy article in "the new york times." david, thank you so much for joining us. >> my pleasure. >>> let's get some white house reaction to the breaking news. our senior white house correspondent jeff zell any eny joining us now. what are you hearing? >> reporter: wolf, good evening. president trump has landed in nearby memphis just a short time ago, and according to pool reporters on air force one the president or his advisers did not come back and discuss any of this. of course, the president knew this story was coming. "the new york times" gave him a week if not longer to respond to it. this evening

trump: nice man. casualties of the democrats open border crusade are really a lot and far more than anyone would know of innocent american families and lives. democrat immigration policies allow poisonous drugs and ms 13 killers to pour into our country. these are not people that you don't want to have ice around. ice goes into the nests like it is a day in the office. even tough guys here, you don't want to do it. she has done it, she said. if you did it, you didn't do it by choice. she said, no i didn't. what is this story all about? come on up your -- no, i'm kidding. sanctuary cities and this is what happens, they release violent predators out of jail and straight into your communities, and then they are protected. they are protected people. a democrat victory in november would be a bright, flashing invitation to every human trafficker, drug trafficker -- think of it. human trafficking is the highest it has ever been in the history of this world. that is because of the internet. you wouldn't think

and he was donald trump really before donald trump.d on illegal immigration as an issue and took it national really. and he was one of the first to endorse trump. the question will be whether trump's coattails are long enough to pull him over in the senate race against bob casey. it looks like they're not at the moment. >> when you talk to trump voters for your book and i guess it was several months ago you were last able to check in with them for the book. of the 12 in your focus group only one trump voter was in doubt about donald trump at this point. >> right. i checked in with them much more recently even after the book closed, i've been in touch with them informally. and that number still holds. of the 12 i profiled, 11 say that if the election were to be held -- the 2020 election were to be held tomorrow they would enthusiastically vote for trump. only one has slipped into the undecided, as you mentioned. i guess the question becomes both for the midterms and 2020 is what is the ceiling on trump's base. >> is it a ceiling? and if

donald trump sending michael cohen over to try to start a trump tower in russia. it's been an obsession with donald trump. getting russian money has been an obsession with donald trump since the 1980s when he was suckered into shaking the hands of a mikhail gorbachev impersonator. he's made a fool of himself time and time again. now saudi arabia. bragging. in 2015 to everybody wearing those caps that kanye west is wearing now that he makes $40 million, $50 million from the saudis. he loves the saudis. >> of course. >> it's all about money and it's not about american money. it's not about american jobs. it's not about helping out heartland america, helping them pay their bills, having enough money to send their kids to college. it's about donald trump and his billionaire family. >> his money. >> and how much money they can siphon from other countries. so he's willing to let a washington post journalist get killed and hacked up because he wants to make more money personally from the saudis. welcome to donald trump's america. >> yeah. the line that stays with me is h

trump. something to that effect. and then it turned out that he took the picture five hours before the people started coming into the arena. the arena was packed and there were thousands of people outside. they had to retracted. but this is the kind of dishonesty that we have. >> laura: part two of my interview with the president is next. his reaction to former president obama hitting him on the midterm trail and so much more. stay there. ail and so much more. stay >> tech: at safelite autoglass, we really pride ourselves on making it easy to get your windshield fixed. >> teacher: let's turn in your science papers. >> tech vo: this teacher always puts her students first. >> student: i did mine on volcanoes. >> teacher: you did?! oh, i can't wait to read it. >> tech vo: so when she had auto glass damage... she chose safelite. with safelite, she could see exactly when we'd be there. >> teacher: you must be pascal. >> tech: yes ma'am. >> tech vo: saving her time... [honk, honk] >> kids: bye! >> tech vo: ...so she can sa

trump: thank you.had a beautiful ceremony in the white house where we proudly swore in the newest member of the united states supreme court, justice brett kavanaugh. [cheering] pres. trump: he now sits alongside justice neil gorsuch, to defend your rights, your constitution, and your god-given freedom. what the dem -- what the democrats did to justice kavanaugh and his beautiful family is a national disgrace. it is. [booing] pres. trump: the democratic party has become an angry ruthless unhinged mob determined to get power by any means necessary. in this election will decide which party controls congress. americane for every could not be more clear. by the way, i have to thank dean heller for helping us with justice gorsuch and justice kavanaugh. dean heller was there. dean heller was there right from the beginning. mobs.mocrats produce republicans produce jobs. [cheering] pres. trump: hashtag. that is called hashtag. that is a hot one. this november, vote for jobs, not mobs. crying chucksi, schumer, a

trump in your living room. trump press conferences. more trump rallies. more trump press conferences. just moments ago, another press conference this time as the president met with officials in georgia while touring the damage from hurricane michael. later this week we've gtot a trump in waco. >> a vote for cindy is a vote for me. >> a vote sfor steve is a vote for me. a vote for david is a vote for me in our agenda to make america great again. >> you could argue that republicans are poised to lose control of congress because of trump. and there are signs of a huge spike in midterm voter turn outamong grououts that aren't known as big trump fans. 81% of democrats say they are certain to vote which is up nearly 20 points compared to the 2014 midterms. the turnout from younger voters could spike by 25 points. it's the same with minorities. however democrats are seeing flashing warning signs when it comes to latino voters. still the plight facing republicans right now is largely because of trump. yet they see the solution to that problem as largely more trum

trump is talking about befriending putin and de-escalating while the rest of the trump administration is trying to crack down on russia. in this case, at least his senior political appointees and people like mike pompeo, as we saw in that remarkable spectacle of his trip to riyadh, seem to be on board with the idea that the u.s. strategic relationship with saudi arabia is too important to be sacrificed over one individual. so maybe there are complaints about trump's tone and the optics of pompeo's trip. but as a matter of policy, i think that people are basically on board. >> ashley parker, that would probably reflect the fact that ideologues like pompeo and bolton and professionals like mattis are losing access to the president and people like h.r. mcmaster has been booted from the ideological foreign policy figures like pompeo and bolton. is that recognized among the staff that could be sitting on a major foreign policy crisis if as michael crowley just insinuated, any sort of dissent leaks out? and having worked in the white house, it always does. >> well, it's not just ideolo e id

trump said. what we are seeing is president trump who is uncharacteristically restrained from the days after she made the allegations is realizing that some supporters agree with him on the fact that they believe there are holes in her memory. the president is making it clear saying his supporters at the rallies are coming to the defense of brett kavanaugh. you see he says voters are really angry at the vicious and despicable way democrats are treating brett kavanaugh. the president made a few comments about christine blasey ford and when he realized it would rev the crowd up, that is when he went on the attack against her. we also saw the president play both sides of this. he stood by brett kavanaugh and said think of your husband and your sons. this could happen to them. then he distanced himself saying iont met this guy a few weeks ago. he is not my friend or anything like that. the politics of this, what the white house is waiting on is for the fbi investigation to come back to see if it reve

president trump is doing the right thing. to our friends in mexico, if you don't help trump.van you're going to pay a price in congress when it comes to this trade deal. >> laura: lindsey graham, thank you so much. i know you stayed up for us. we really appreciate it and we break down some ugly comments from al sharpton this weekend about president trump's appearance at a turning point usa young black leadership summit. stay there. >> the make america great rally, the use of young blacks as props, which really is an insult to them. >> laura: those while remarks by al sharpton were directed at the attendings of turning point usa's young black leadership summit or president trump gave a speech last week. here to react is cochair of project 21. the reverend al believes that only democrats should have the monopoly on outreach to african-americans. i found out, i got to say -- i shouldn't be surprised but it was still despicable. >> not just the monopoly on outreach, the monopoly on the use of bigoted and racist remarks with every single group. he didn't just attack kanye west and

president trump: yes. because our justice department and fbi played right into their hands with the stupid investigation or whatever you call it. people say i'm not under investigation. i'm not a target of this investigation which nobody likes to say. but it played into their hand. if they want to sow chaos. they got it for nothing. we did it to ourselves. the chaos, the stupid chaos. it hasn't been talked about for a long time because people don't believe it. who is going to believe i call russia to give me help. and everyone does say, richard bird, they asked him, he's the head of the senate intelligence. they asked, did you see collusion in he says no, i didn't see collusion. but he said there was no collusion. as you know, the house, devin nunes, they came out with a ruling there was no collusion. but richard bird, they asked during the bloods in north and south carolina. they said what about this committee? he said we have found no collusion. trish: collusion aside. the concern is putin and the folks

and three times visited the elder trump at trump tower.n one visit not long before donald trump declared his candidacy. goldstone says trump was there listening to a rap song. he said look 90 million views, a rapper called mac miller who recently passed away has recorded a song. had 90 million youtube views and it's about me. >> and i said to him, maybe do you think you should listen to the words and what they're saying about you perhaps? just an idea. ♪ all this money, ain't that [ bleep ] ♪ >> and he went it doesn't matter, 90 million views. the third time we went he said to emin, maybe next time i see you i'll be hosting you at the white house. >> before there was trump in the white house, there was trump the candidate. and the next time goldstone set foot in trump tower would be when he arrived for the meeting. coming up -- >> i get a phone call and he said to me initially, i'd like you to set up a meeting with the trumps. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase relieves y

we know donald trump now admits to dictating a false statement about that meeting to donald trump jr.e know that after he was told that russia was interfering in the election in mid-august 2016, he still went out and lied and said, it's a hoax, there's no reason to believe this. so you can't take anything they say. it sounds hyperbolic but you can't say anything they say at face value because they have this long history, present and in the past, of lying and doing things that are either fraudulent, and as the "times" put it, outright criminal. >> so what you're digging into is what the past tells us about what they may be reaping or what's coming. you wanted a line, i'll give you injury garcia. if you plant ice, you're going to harvest wind. >> okay, i'll give you a box of rain for that. >> phil lesh, right? >> that's the grateful dead too. >> phil lesh grateful dead, he didn't have any songs. interesting that you're a phil lesh fan. >> celebrate with a bottle of ripple. >> wow. >> there's a lot we can trade back. >> we'll call katy tur, do a full grateful dead reunion -- >> no, no, n

trump. they're enemies of the state. they're enemies of the people. and what they are doing is allowing the country to be invaded by a dangerous hoard coming from the south, made up of brown people. and so the consequences of all of this after two years should not be a surprise to anybody. if you incite and then you incite again, if you revel in menace, if you stigmatize and declare your opponents as enemies from the highest office in the land, the reality is this -- when the president of the united states, people listen. when the president of the united states speaks, people listen. and someone out there took him literally. took him seriously, maybe, and the result is that we also -- that we almost saw a couple of presidents, a vice president, assassinated. imagine if the security screenings did not work and yesterday was a day of bloodshed as opposed to a day where these terror attacks and assassinations failed. this would have been amongst the most significant days in the history of the u

trump. they say the attention today should be focused on the victims of saturday's anti semitic massacre. there are those who want president trump to be there. this all comes as the first funerals are being held today. among those being laid to rest, brothers david and cecil rosenthal and dr. jerry rabinowitz. we're on the ground in pittsburgh where apparently a protest has sprung up. miguel, how are the pittsburghers you're talking to -- how do they feel about the president's visit? >> reporter: look, jake, i have not seen a person with a dry eye in this neighborhood all day. people walking their dogs, moving around the neighborhood, and now this. that sadness, that absolute shock at what has happened has turned into anger with news of the president's visit. there are several hundred people here at this protest getting ready to march, just as the president is expected to land in pittsburgh and move around the city. there is a second protest in the neighborhood. president donald trump in thi

of the trump organization. michael cohen had found it. >> it was alluring to be in trump tower. this is a man who idolized him for years before he ended up working there. it was a dream come true. >>> coming up --

listen, he defended trump, lied for trump, engaged in unethical business practice for trump and only light because federal prosecutors were knocking on his door. of course, he should not go on the campaign trail. but the real problem for trump is that he has engaged in unseemly behavior. we know that. he never set up any fire walls between his business, his campaign and his family. that's where michael cohen comes into play. that's where paul manafort comes mayo play, that's where people in the trump organization come into play. so mueller may release the findings on his report on collusion and obstruction of justice, but those court cases can unfurl much further than that. >> ai think collusion is going o be very big. >> you think they're going to find conspiracy. >> yeah, and obstruction. i don't know if it's enough to convict. trump got all alarmed this week, the witch hunt stuff and all of this. and that was after a story appeared that cohen spent 50 hours with justice people. trump accuses cohen of lying, right? >> he did lie for trump a lot. >> wait a second. but the lie he's a

there are tax returns of trump companies, trump partnerships, trump trusts.'s estate tax returns is in the building right now. it's incredible that we have it. and that opened a door to understanding a huge transfer of wealth that happened and gave us so much more information to be able to understand the tax games that were played. and then once you sort of pull this string, the whole thing unraveled. >> a look there at showtime's new documentary that follows the team of "new york times" investigative reporters as they uncovered the information that led to the exclusive report about trump's taxes. the film debuts this sunday night and we're going to have much more from the explosive report straight ahead. but, joe, you have something else on your mind right now, apparently. >> i do this morning. willie, we've been ripped off again. >> what? no, you haven't. >> how many times have people taken our experiments and used them to win nobel prizes. >> did they do it again this year? >> they did it again this year. >> come on. >> professors claiming they discovered

donald trump tried to change his ailing father's will.an you tell me a little bit more about that and what that tells you about donald trump and his relationship with his father. >> well, it sort of boils down to never enough. his dad was his first mentor, and he got him started on the idea that what you can get away with is the only thing that matters, you know. there just isn't any other standard. you can get away with it, do it. his dad made a fortune building in the outer boroughs in queens and brooklyn, using government mortgages,abatement, all sorts of assistants and pushed the regulations to the limb, a lit, of unintended consequences he was able to use and exploit to make a fortune. he was never quite indicted, he did get holed up in front of several investigative bodies, but he certainly pushed it to the limit and went past the spirit of those various government programs, and donald was watching. he was a really good apprentice. >> david was wondering is any of this prosecutable now, the answer is no because the statute of limita

>> donald trump had two choices. either he comes out and says, yes, i had the affair, yes, i directed the payment, or he calls michael cohen a liar. those are really the only two choices. >> it sounds pretty clear. >> it's pretty clear, because michael cohen is either telling the truth or he's not. i don't know if donald trump had much of a choice. the whole saga here starts with, in january, michael cohen saying, "didn't happen." by february he's saying "wasn't illegal." then by april trump is saying, "i didn't make any payments. you have to talk to my personal lawyer michael cohen." by may you have giuliani on his first day on the job actually i am reply -- implicating the personal finance plan saying it wasn't legal. the whole story is muddled from beginning to end. michael cohen doesn't come out looking like the most credible person. nor does donald trump, but there is so much evidence that michael cohen was a fixer for donald trump and so many accusations related to playoffs, including that recording, if you rem

trump: maybe not.d inform your land, build houses on your land, do anything with your land. , it wasad a puddle considered for purposes of that rule a lake and you came under restrictions and regulations that made it impossible to go anywhere near it. honestly, it was insane. it was ridiculous, except for that beautiful title. too, the parisne accord. that drained us. that drained us. that would have cost us hundreds of billions of dollars, the environmental accord. we right now have the cleanest air and cleanest water, which is what i want. i want immaculate air and crystal, clean water. that is what we all want. we now have the cleanest we have ever had. [applause] government has no your rainicromanaging ditches or puddles in your backyard, putting farmers out of business, taking away your profits, putting you in the red. they have no right to do that. we are rebuilding our borde theastructure, upgrading waterways that of the lifeblood of american agriculture. in places in the midwest to come we are

trump. right? and the irony is that story really comes from for a lot of voters what they learned about the president on "the apprentice" which is actually sort of -- it is reality television, and it's quite fictitious. so now you have actual reality bumping up with the fiction of reality tv. and so that is huge and cannot be overstated. at the same time, again, what we'll have to wait and see, this literally just broke, one thing that struck me especially about the president's core group of supporters, the president has often been able to say to things like making products overseas that otherwise would be unacceptab unacceptable, wouldn't you have done the same thing? wouldn't you, too, have avoid e taxes if you could? that's smart business. we don't know what his response will be. on one hand, you're right, it total he undercuts the myth of president trump, dealmaker, the businessman. on the other hand, it will be interesting to see if the president can find a way to talk his way out of th

comparing trump rival ted cruz's wife heidi to melania trump. in august trump attacked his former staffer omarosa and praising john kelly for firing that dog. it's the language that has defined trump's language on women including hillary clinton, rosie o'donnell. >> when you looked at that horrible woman last night, you said, i don't think so. >> he called this woman miss piggy. >> she was the winner and she gained a massive amount of weight. it was a real problem. >> rosy is an unattractive person. rosy is a slob. >> they said he invaded her space. i invaded her space. believe me, the last space that i want to invade is her space, believe me. >> donald trump said the following about you, quote, look at that face, would anyone vote for that? can you imagine that the face of our next president? >> i think women all over this country heard clearly what mr. trump said. [ applause ] >> in an interview with the associated press late today, president trump defended his comments about stormy daniels. asked if it was appropriate to comment on a woman's

does this make people decide to support trump, not to support trump? i'm skeptical. i've gotten very skeptical that pretty much anything can do that. >> you know what? on some level, move the needle or not, it doesn't matter. the truth coming out in this exhaustive reporting is important enough. rob, how much work did it take, would it take to avoid taxes like this, to engage in these tax schemes? laid out in here, that are confusing to the layman. >> well, first off, you're talking about schemes. a lot of this is just standard tax planning for people with high net worth. >> yeah. >> and some of the things that happened that are perfectly legal under estate tax look awfully weird to people that weren't tax lawyers. and you're seeing that with some of the trusts and some of the valuations that are mentioned in the piece. there's definitely a lot of work, a lot of lawyers, accountants, valuation experts that, you know, worked on this. and the irs audited from what i understand. >> yeah. there is that element of it. harry, i want to look at the numbers again because the

but with john kelly and kirstjen nielsen and this dynamic with president trump, president trump is onet dressed kirstjen nielsen down in front of everybody saying she was not doing her job on immigration and agrees with john bolton she needs to step up and start doing her job. >> what did she not do? >> president trump is infuriated that the border crossing numbers run. can you see that from his tweets and you can see he's enraged about that, picks a person to take it out on. he's taking it out on kirstjen nielsen even though john kelly who is defending her feels she is doing the job that she's supposed to be doing. that's how we saw president trump criticize her during one cabinet meeting. jeff sessions stood up for her and she remarked that she feels like she's doing her job. it's a lot more complicated than just a fight. lays bear the power dynamics and the arguments between kelly and bolton, so much more than that. >> let's talk about the fact that the president clearly from his tweet today thinks that the immigration issue is an issue, a big issue that could help drive republican

trump, trump's been a white nationalist from the beginning. the fact that he just announced it to the world or a huge rally is just indicative of how much his appeal has really shrunk in the two years that he's been in office. he was able to dance around the margins for a long time by claiming, well, you know, i'm a progressive, or i'm this or that. he danced around it. but now he knows, my core constituency, the only future this presidency has, is to be an explicit white nationalist and say, it is us, this small 26% of the u.s. population that wanted him against everybody else in america who actually wants a fundamental future that we can all benefit from. i'm happy that he's being this honest because i think this is the beginning of the end of him having any sort of appeal outside of the maniacs who want to listen to him in that room. >> i think we can all agree donald trump is the most ignorant president in history, but today he used ignorance as a defense in an answer to a question. and for the first time, i actually have doubts about whet

[indiscernible] president trump: i did. president trump: i did. i thought you was fantastic. i thought the first lady was fantastic last night. i hope i do as well on 60 minutes tomorrow. if i don't, that's ok. reporter: what about secretary mnuchin's comments? >> we need to evaluate the facts and make the decision. i talked to secretary mnuchin last night. we will be taking a look at it throughout the week. reporter: talk about the sanctions. president trump: we were tough on turkey and the was absolutely no deal made. the only deal was a psychological one. we feel much different about turkey today than we did yesterday, and i think we have a chance of really becoming much closer to turkey, and maybe us even having a very good relationship. we know the people, and these are incredible people. the people of turkey are incredible people, and i think we have a chance now to really have a great relationship with turkey. i hope that happens, ok? richard, do you have anything to say, richard burr? senator burr: we welcome the pastor back to north carolina. he has been missed. but

although the trump organization vowed not to pursue new foreign ventures while trump is in office. there's wide overlap between his business interests and the international relationships he must navigate as president. a chinese government owned bank runs a twentieth floor of trump tower in new york city at a trump property adjacent to the un saudi arabia and india own apartments. the new unit there is this year. from post foreign dignitaries at mar-a lago his private club where membership rates doubled after his election his companies have been granted approval for trademarks in china even as the president negotiated trade policy with its leader so far i have got nothing absolutely nothing but the potential conflicts of interest are many and they've raised charges that trump is violating the us constitution and the new. charges are laid out in several lawsuits one of which is now focused on the trumpeted national we decided last year because it was a violation of this country's oldest anti-corruption law and that is the emoluments clauses both foreign and domestic. we would like a
