would likeites she few were tweets. fewer tweets. there was an earlier poll that talked about this and published in the politico and they want voters or voters want trump to get off twitter. earlier thisll summer showed a vast majority of voters, 69% says trump uses twitter too much. 'smajority of voters say trump tweets hurt the u.s. nationally every on base, they say 53% of republicans say he tweets too much for -- he tweets too much. say. hear was larry has to democratic caller. caller: hello. i think the president tweets because he is not familiar with reporters and if he went before the reporters, he would not be answered the questions the way they need to be answered so he tweets and he does not have to go back with reporters. that is all i have to say. host: joys from houston, texas. good morning to you. caller: yes, i said, let him keep tweeting. the liberal media hates him. what is he supposed to do? citizenlack senior grandmother going on 85 and i am a republican and all of you democrats who have called in with hatred and c

when you look into the numbers, the tweeting is hurting him, not that he tweets. one of his advisers said yesterday they believe it's the most powerful political tool of the moerdern era, no president s had a bigger hammer to swing. however how he's swinging and what he's swinging at it hurting him. look at your screen, too much about what's going on in the media. remember he blames us. he says you don't cover what matters. look at his tweets, he sets the tone on things that people say 70% of the time he shouldn't be talking about. >> yes, look, he's tweeting more about attacks on the media than about jobs, the military and other categories. >> almost combined sometimes. >> so this is a bit of wanting to play the victim. >> a correctable error. >> sure, of course it is, but first, look, anyone who is trying to find good news in this poll it's like ronald reagan joke, there must be a pony in here somewhere, you know, this is a bad poll in almost every way and yes, you can say if we're down to 38% in six months, only way to go is up except maybe if you fall down ano

it is on the list of the most likes or re tweeted tweets of all time. what tweet is now number one after yesterday? who do you think beat out ellen? it is a politician. every year south jersey sends more and more tax money to trenton, but gets less and less back thanks to steve sweeney and chris christie. here's the sweeney-christie record eight years of underfunded schools. huge tax breaks for themselves and their rich friends while we pay more. and homestead rebate funding for seniors cut in half next year. don't believe the fake news from his wealthy donors. steve sweeney stands with chris christie, not with south jersey. >> yesterday, malcolm jen since, said he was the most talented wide receiver on the team, that's a lot without jeffrey on the other side, al gore saying he's trying to stay hungry and not be comfortable. >> familiarity helps you move little quicker. i don't feel comfortable at all. that's not good place to be. i think i'm familiar what's going on, i work every day with carson, i communicate with carson and the dialogue going well an

and the president continues to watch television news, also continues to tweet. 13 tweets yesterday, four so far this morning, including one talking about his briefing on the opioid crisis, which will occur later today. that will be the first time we have seen the president on this working vacation. >> thank you, joe. >>> we have ed tier atlarge chris cillizza, cnn analyst david drugger, and karen demersia. so president trump's approval rating is only at 38%. it's always good to get historical context to get where his predecessors were. the person closest to him was bill clinton, but then some of them, kennedy, eisenhower had soaring highs of 75%, 73%. what do you see? >> i think the comparison is good. it tells you both the danger that trump and his party face but also show you you there's time for recoveries. bill clinton was reelected in 1996, bun then the -- two things about the cnn poll. one, his numbers with republicans and non-college-educated whites are down. that means he's hurting with the republican party broughtly, he should be up around 90%, and non-college-educated whites, w

president trump just tweeted moments ago about this.ys after many years of failure, countries are coming together to finally address the dangers posed by north korea. we must be tough and decisive. but north korea says its missiles and nuclear weapons are not on the negotiating table and never will be. joining us now is democratic congressman gregory meeks, he serves on the house foreign affairs committee. thank you for being here in studio. >> thank you, good being with you. >> so the president is pleased at this unanimous 15-0 u.n. security council vote to impose tougher sanctions on north korea, but north korea it appears has only gotten more bellicose as a result of those and you heard, they say they will never negotiate about their nuclear program. where does that leave us? >> first of all, let me say compliments to the president in that hopefully he's understanding what president obama understood that you can't do this america alone, and you've got to work with nations. that's what president obama did when we talked about the iran

tweets with president trump. the toilet paper was described as a collection of 106 donald trump's tweets deemed most suitable for flushing. about 11.99 per role rchg that's pretty expensive toilet paper. it better be soft . the president tweeted that amazon has a no tax monopoly? a. he has tweeted that, but in fact amazon collects sales tax on every state in which they do business. they have to. that tweet is not on the toilet paper role. eleven bucks, 12 bucks for that. let's switch gears a little bit now. at the top of the show we were talking to tom kellene a good north korea and about the threats and we brought up guam because guam is in the pacific ocean. it's a us territory. during the course of the show we just learned by way of north korea news are considering a s installation in guam. that's military, us installation. we asked tomorrow about that and he said if north korea decides to target some sort of military,s that is

so a tweet is fun for what it is, but it is only a tweet. let us though.resident who is a prolific tweeter. he uses tweet quite often. at all hour of the day and night. so let's be clear. having neo-nazis fighting in the streets of shallo lcharlottesvi be mets with moral force which is sift sufficient for the cause. and that means he has to speak out vigorously and consistently. this is not a moment, a twitter moment or a moment in a news cycle. but, rather, an ugly chapter in american history unfolding as we speak. and so the president can start with pa twea tweet, but he need follow up with more words and most importantly more policy. take means he has to model what we need on our streets. and certainly similar charlottes vilt. >> we thank you again for the time. we want to go to athena jones in new jersey where the president is having a work vacation. athena, we finally heard from the president. >> reporter: that's right. he said we must all be united and condemn what that hate stands for. there is no place for this kind of violence in eamerica. let's c

and the tweets kept coming. this afternoon, trump tweeted about north korea. i'll read this one in full. "the fake news media will not talk about the importance of the united nation's security council 15-0 vote in favor of sanctions on north korea." . now, ironically, he tweeted this just as cnn was talking about this very topic at the time of the tweet. >> it means north korea would attack an attack. the president says he would not allow to happen. >> talking about north korea, right? well, anyway, this network has covered the u.n. for days and those facts don't seem to matter to this president because he moved on deciding to go after blum m blumenthal. a short time later, blumenthal, who was already booked to come on cnn, booked his appearance. >> i will not be distracted by this. >> well, today's tweet storm, it's fair to say, disappointment for many who hopes the chief of staff, general kelly, would police trump's tweets. kelly would look to moderate trump's tweets but didn't say it's not really among his highest priorities. and maybe there's a reason for

couple tweets. he's in a putter storm again. i don't do twitter storms. >> president trump insisted he doesn't engage in tweet storms, yet the storm clouds gathered over the white house this morning as the president let loose on a number of topics, beginning with mitch mcconnell. "the only problem i have with mitch mcconnell is that, after hearing repeal and replace for 7 years, he failed! that should never have happened!" white house is sources tell fox news that when the president meets with mcconnell, he will press the senator for another effort to repeal obamacare. >> i can tell you that the president continues to be committed to repealing and replacing obamacare and making sure america has good health care. >> before the august recess, has he had a chance? >> we are committed to continuing to make sure that we have the best health care we can. if we could do that in that direction, i think it's great. >> health care may be the least of the president's worries. in a speech this morning, mcconnel

he's been on something of a tweet storm all day long. you mentioned the tweet that he posted earlier today slamming those executives, those business leaders for quitting his manufacturing council. but yes, you're right. he also has retweeted a noted conspiracy theorist who is pushing the pizzagate and seth rich conspiracy theories. that person has espoused alt-right views, was essentially saying, why isn't the media paying more attention to the shootings in chicago, the violence in chicago. president retweeting that. brooke, he also, i guess, for a brief period, appeared to retweet an image of a train running over what appeared to be a cnn journalist. now, we have heard from the white house on that. an anonymous white house official, keep in mind, the president has said in the past don't believe anonymous sources coming out of the white house but an anonymous source said that tweet was inadvertently post and had then later deleted so we did hear from the white house in terms of one of the president's tweets today, but this has been going

one tweet he tweeted early earlier, hard to believe the 24/7 fake news on cnn, abc, cbs, washington trumpetting stronger. then he tweeted why aren't the news organizations reporting about north korea, the u.n. security council resolution that passed 15-0. well, fact is we have been reporting about it since it happened on saturday. >> yes, we have. repeatedly and consistently. it's an easy target. like they've been saying, go after democrats safely without getting involved in the investigation in an appropriate way. the media is a useful foil for him for any time he has to get something off his chest. i'll tell you, general kelly, i know very well and he is doing exactly what i would expect him to do in terms of processes and procedures there. but i don't even think he believes it's in his mandate or capability to try to change the president and his twitter habit. >> everybody stick around. there is more coming up. we're going to talk about the vice-president mike pence and his heated denial that he's launching what's called a shadow presidential campaign for 2020. did he protest, though,

he tweets, a lot. 13 tweets sprang forth, including sharps at richard blumenthal, attacking him aboutervice during the vietnam war. so much for a kinder, gentler vacationing president. >> reporter: that's right. the president is fully in command of his smartphone during his vacation in bedminster, new jersey. he did go after the senator from connectic connecticut, and essentially he was going after the senator over his comments specifically on cnn criticizing the president and the trump administration for going after leaks. they have been really going on a hunt for leaks inside this administration, and senator blumenthal has been saying we don't want to put a chilling effect on the russia investigation. because of that, the president says, working hard from new jersey. this is the president insisting he's not on vacation. working hard from new jersey, while the white house goes on with planned renovations. then he goes after the senator, saying interesting to watch senator plumblumenthal talk abo the russia investigation. he acknowledged he misled voters about his service in vietnam.

what tweet? >> fwo back to the david duke interviews. >> you said he tweeted something recently that said the opposite. that's not the case. >> i was talking about how there is almost, on many issues that the president takes a stand on today there is a tweet that contradicts. it's in almost every news. >> we are told to -- >> it is not a -- what i'm saying is not a controversial thing. this is fact. i want to give one final question to both of you. treasurer, why did the president, when we talk about how to bring the country together, right? you say you know what is in the president's heart and he is not racist and has love in his heart, why, days after the hit and run that killed this woman, why did the president tweet, it has nothing to do with cnn, why did the president tweet an image of a train running over an image of a news organization like cnn? how does that bring the country together? they deleted it, so they knew it was wrong. how does that bring the country together? >> well, again, yo

. >> jon: a fox news alert, president trump tweeting up a storm as he usually does. the administration hit the milestone, good morning to you. this is a "happening now." >> and i am julie banderas, and since then he has tweeted guess how many times? more than 1000, including this morning. >> jon: he took to twitter to tell his team's accomplishments since eggnog ration day while blasting the media critics, tweeting "the trump base is still bigger and stronger than ever before, with the rallies in penn, ohio, and west virginia, the fact is the fake news rush inclusion story record stockmarket border security, jobs, supreme court pay, economic enthusiasm, deregulation and so much more have driven the base even closer together, will never change." joining us now is bret baier, sounds from those tweets that the president does not feel he

and that is exactly what the president's first tweets did. that is the morning that the president tweeted his announcement that the united states government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the u.s. military. if the president was trying to change the subject, it worked. the defense department was caught off guard by the president's announcement and had no comment on it. and we later discovered that the president decided to fire off those tweets even though he had been told by white house lawyers and defense department lawyers that there were serious legal implications involved in a policy announcement like that, and that everyone the president had consult the on this issue in the white house and the state department was still working on it when the president surprised them all by issuing that tweet. so if you're donald trump and you know about the raid of paul manafort's home early that morning, what do you do? and, remember, when you consider that question of what do you do if you're donald trump,

look at one of the tweets in this morning. the fails "new york times" made every wrong prediction about me including my big election win apologized is totally inept. never mind he talks to the "new york times" more than anyone else. leave that aside. >> and apologized. >> yeah. but this is also following on something really extraordinary yesterday. the vice president of the united states releasing a formal statement saying that the "new york times" story, saying basically it's a shadow campaign, getting ready for 2020 to run as president is wrong. i want to read the vice president's statement again. today's article in the "new york times" is disgraceful and offensive to me, my family and our entire team. the allegations in this article are categorically false and represent the latest 25e6rattem the media to divide this administration. so that added a lot of oxygen to the story, and from my reporting, my understanding is that people in pence world understood it would add oxygen but felt on balance, they'd rather add oxygen and

he re-tweeted the tweet from an alt-right conservative or linked right-wing conspiracy theorist.get questions about that but, again, folks say that the condemnation, the strong condemnation is too little, too late. >> no kkk, no fascist usa. protesters greeted president donald trump as he arrived at trump tower in new york angry it took 48 hours for the president to specifically call out the hate groups responsible for the car attack in charlottesville, virginia, killing one woman. >> racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals of and thugs including the kkk, neo-nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant. >> reporter: president trump was quick to denounce the ceo of merck hours after he resigned from had his council. these strong words to hate groups took too long. >> the president in his last statement actually sounded presidential. i wish that he would have said those same words on saturday. >> these are groups that are used to hearing dog whistles from public officials. so they take that as a green light. we are approving of

he tweeted out as you noted about a dozen tweets over the er weekend about the response effort, but only going to see it came front of the camera today? >> we do expect to see thee do present after his meeting withr the present within the turkey will do a press conference, a joint press conference at the white house we can expect heques will get questions aboutt houston, about his role, about his response. a number of questions can come up as well but this is the biggest news issue of the dayneo end.the biggest news issue off the we can. that's a lot of questionsns abot the president has been dealing and will deal with his first h first major na major natural disaster.tu we will hear from the president in both scripted remarks like at the beginning of the news conference at the unscriptedats remarks as he take questions anu the number of americans will be watching to see how he respondsd in the middle of this crisis. >> host: will to be a moodl today to get more resources dowo the? -- move. at this point there are more specific and needed from federal agencies that are not yetgad? engage

this latest tweet, just a couple of minutes ago at the top of the hour tweeting out am in bedminster for meetings and press conference on v.a., veterans affairs, and all that we have done and are doing to make it better, but charlottesville, sad, exclamation point. we've heard that sort of sentence construction in tweets before from the president calling various things sad. now he's calling what's going on in charlottesville sad. 40 minutes ago when we saw his first tweet, i'll read that again for our viewers, he said, we all must be united and condemn all that hate stands for. there is no place for this kind of violence in america. let's come together as one. that tweet coming about 40 minutes ago. again, the first time we heard from the president. a few minutes after the president posted that tweet, we also heard from vice president mike pence who quote tweeted the president and added that he stands with #potus, president of the united states, against hate and violence. u.s. is greatest when we join together and oppose those seeking to divide us. #charlottesville. it's important to

tweeting about something else. >> the tweets have been a disaster for donald trump.e fact that he's tweeting, tweets can be pretty effective -- >> subject, yes. >> the substance, that's what eating him up. and what these polls are indicating that people at the very least are concerned about it. and many are deeply concerned about it, and that includes some of donald trump's heart's base, down deep, they still believe in what they think are his policies. but they have deep concerns about what he's saying, what he's tweeting, the way he conducts himself? >> whether he's the right person to carry out his own policies. he doesn't seem to be doing it now. >> exactly. >> and the atlantic has a very good article which points out that you have right now, basically two governments, the public government coming out of the white house -- >> shadow government. >> and the other side of the government in which donald trump has from his standpoint and the standpoint of followers accomplished some things. he's changed the whole direction of justice system, rewritten environmental la

tweets can be pretty effective. >> subject. >> it's the substance about the tweets.eating him up. again, i want to get back to the overview, don. what to say here is our own national security and the rule of law and the strengths of our institutions. and what these polls are indicating is that people at the very least are concerned about it. and many people are deeply concerned about it. and that includes some of donald trump's base. that down deep they still believe in they think are his policies, but they have deep concern about what he is saying, what he is tweeting, the way he conducts himself. >> whether he's the right person to carry out his own policies, because he doesn't seem to be doing that now. >> exactly. and the atlantic has a very good article which points out that you have right now basically two governments. the public government out of the white house. >> and the shadow government. >> and the underside of the government in which donald trump has from his standpoint and the standpoint of his followers accomplished some things. he has changed the whol

to tweet better, they want him to tweet differently than he's doing it.o one's trying to take the social media platform away from him, tweet all you want but don't blow up our message for the day. >> kimberly: dana has talked about that before. you have to give them something to talk about to fill the void. fair criticism? how do you honestly feel about the president tweeting? >> i don't think it helps him but i'm not alone in that. you're right, there's i think most of the trump voters say he should continue tweeting. a quarter of them say -- people who voted for donald trump say they think this is the wrong way for him to go. if you ask all americans then you're like 70% of americans say this is ridiculous this is not the way to do business. after the communication about the ban on transgender people serving in the military with the pentagon didn't know. it got broken up, then there are people concerned. what's he doing? is he starting a bombing run? when greg says the press is chasing rabbits and concerned about whales, the presidents of compliments ar

him to be tweet. but let's be honest he's saying things that are getting catching people off guard. for example, the trans gender ban where they weren't aware that this was coming down until after the tweets. this is something that i tend to differ on other media bun dits on. i don't care about the president's twitter feed. it does create news, but 7 percent of americans actively tweet are on twitter. that means hat tweets themselves, the substance of them may be interesting for a moment, but what people are looking at is performance. the president has lowered border crossings, illegal crossings? a. stacy, i think his tweets do matter. he's the president of what he's saying, he's putting out policy when he says things like we're going to ban trans gender people from being in the military. is it policy if it's a tweet that doesn't actually have anything that happens after it? i'm only going by the actual legislative process of the united states government which is that congress writes the laws and then

i personally wish he hadn't tweeted anything, if that's what he's going to tweet, that is fine by me. we can hope and i suspect in fact the president was briefed on this finding, if the report in the washington post is accurate. the president receives an intelligence briefing every morning, if this assessment is in fact true, and we can assume it came across his desk. in an ideal world, the president was not taken by surprise. >> they say they got their confirmation from a dia report. nbc news has confirmed the general aspects of this story with a u.s. national security offici official. with that, we're going to take a short break right now. we'll be back on the other side talking more about the international reaction to north korea. we have a reporter on that. the diplomatic response that could be underway and what the president of the united states might be considering for options. and just how we got to this point. lots to talk about, stay with us. electric light orchestra ] ♪ sailin' away on the crest of a wave, it's like magic ♪ ♪ rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin' ♪ ♪ i

now, important to point out that he deleted that tweet ultimately, also retweeted another tweet from a far-right conspiracy theorist. these are the types of things that could potentially get in the way of, create more controversy for him, and make it tough for him to pass his agenda. he is going to try to put the focus on his agenda today, steph. he's holding an infrastructure event here at trump tower later this afternoon. let's take a look at what his agenda actually entails, what he has to do in the fall. he's got to fund the government. he's got to pass the national defense,000 act, and he has to raise the debt limit. you remember how big that fight was back in 2011 so, that could be a tough one. his wish list, what he wants to get done, of course health care reform. he's tried and failed with that a number of times. tax reform. and then of course infrastructure. by the way, infrastructure is one policy item where he could potentially find some real common ground with democrats. so look for that to be a key focus moving forward. but, look, the fallout continues in the wake of wha

do it tweet. presidential lived in era of twitter. in shelby, jack carolina. caller: my son had two tours in afghanistan and iraq. obama pulledhen all the troops out. say one, media ever thing good about trump? vote past election. if i had to do over, i would for trump. i don't know how many millions of dollars these people writing books. i don't know what kind of president. has chance to make. by like to write a book like everybody else and make millions of dollars off it. i sure need the money. of dollars -- guest: let me say to jack and your service. for i do not make millions of dollars on my back. ofarely make thousands dollars off my books. book writing is a labor of love. lucrative endeavor. ont: you can give effecter the -- perspective on the context. guest: i think jack is on to something in saying that the trump has been pretty negative. i think that trump bare some here too.lity he set himself up opposed to the media. it's a constant fight between media and trump. surprise me the media

to stop tweeting but have someone review the tweets and let him know these are the implications if you this. what you're step in if you move in this direction. i don't know if that was the case with the blumenthal tweets. you could see if someone said this will create a distraction, if you want to do that, go ahead and do that. there's more voices in the room around these tweets than a few months ago. >> to that point, you're not seeing on twitter this morning despite their being a tweet storm going after mueller or somehow exposing himself to more legal controversy in the russia investigation. not seeing him go after fellow republicans the way he did with lisa murk kowsco murkowski, whi her helps to not pass obamacare. >> we are seeing the vice president, mike pence, mark, really going after the "new york times" for that report over the weekend that pence is at least thinking about 2020 amongst several other republicans, shadow candidates, as they call it. >> right. >> there you see the headline from the "new york times," republican shadow campaign for 2020 takes shape as trump doubts

like always, if you want to tweet us, do it. the suspect in the deadly car attack, james alex fields jr. faces multiple charges including second degree murder. he's being held without bond. the woman \he\es is charged with killing will be remembered by the community tomorrow. a service for heather higher will be held at 11:00 at the paramount theater. at the same time protests against confederate symbols are growing nationwide. protest ors also hit the streets outside of trump tower in new york. actually this is the situation in north carolina where you can see the protestors pulled down the confederate statue. this is new york outside a trump to your where the president woke up for the first time since his inauguration. the fallout forhr to what happened in charlottesville continues. i didn't wait long. i wanted to make sure, unlike most politicians that what i said was correct, not make a quick statement. the statement i made on saturday, the first statement was a fine statement, but you don't make statements that direct unles

first of all, the tweet didn't make policy. the tweet announced policy. this had been a conversation discussions had with generals and other stakeholders for a very long time. the president announced it through the form that he does -- >> which signed off on it, though? >> well, hold on. he had talked to generals for quite a long time. i know that. and other stakeholders. and the fact is, the pentagon is a big place. if you find five or ten people who say we had no idea, 100 people who say we had no idea, that doesn't mean that everybody there who needed to know -- i don't know when everybody at the pentagon found out. but the president has made very clear what his policy is. the next steps, george, as you know, are to have policy guidance and to put the order out and to work with the stakeholders. obviously, secretary mattis and others, to implement this new policy. >> but just -- did the chairman of the joint chiefs -- did the defense secretary, did the commandant of the coast guard, did the other service chiefs sign off on that policy on that tweet bef

the tweets work for his base.hat he was banning trans people from the military, that policy requires new bonds, you have 20,000 serving, and when journalists and trans people serving were like, does that mean i am no longer serving? that's a problem with announcing policies, this is not a 140 policy, and this is why you cannot announce very complicate a policies on on twitter. that's why you think john kelly is doing the right thing by saying, mr. president, these are complicated. >> harris: where was the chief of staff this morning? >> richard: i have no idea. the president needs to be careful. >> kennedy: when he is to constrain, he explodes. there is something to the notio notion. >> sandra: we will continue this conversation at the commercial break. more "outnumbered" in just a moment. you don't let anything keep you sidelined. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you. get your

how could she tweet what she tweeted?id looking forward to serving alongside john kelly, as we work for the american people. general kelly is an american hero. >> clearly she has a sense of entitlement that's given to her by her father, as does her husband, the sense of entitlement given to her by the president of the united states. she probably also has a flawed sense of her own importance at this stage, again, entitled by her father. she's going to have a different role, i think, now in the white house. she'll still have access to her father obviously. but, i mean, general kelly comes from the chain of command, 40 years, chain of command. when he was lance corporate, he knew that he was responsible for a private, he knew me was responsible for his weapon and anybody serving under him. that followed him all the way through his career of 40 years. he has a sense of a chain of command, a loyalty to the chain of command but a larger sense of lo loyalty to his country. general kelly will be the guy you want there and if anyb

>> i won't be distracted by these bullying tweets. if anything, they strengthen my resolve and determination to work for protecting the special counsel against exactly these tactics of bullying and intimidating and that's the reason that i have joined with two other republicans and four of us democrats in sponsoring bills that would protect the special counsel required judicial review. three-judge panel who would have to find good cause, which is defined in the statute, before donald trump could fire bob mueller. and there are growing ominous threats, tweets and warnings that we've seen. the world has seen. that we're heading toward a collision between bob mueller and the president of the united states. >> do tweets like today change your assessment of the president's fitness for office? >> my determination is to make sure that special counsel investigation which will uncover the truth about rush yoon meddling in our election, about potential trump campaign collusion with it. and the later allegations of obstruction of justice are ful

so, we're looking at these tweets. much different than last week, although kelly pointed out in the first tweet, kind of stirring up that antipolice agitator language then thanking the mayor in the second. what are you thoughts? >> i'm always happy when he espouses his law and order policy and gives praise to the police department as well as the mayor in this respect. so that is good. just hoping that he's not riling people up. >> hoping he's not rile iing pee up. kevin, when you look at what the president doing today, is there an attempt to get people fired up about what's happening on the streets? >> well, no question this response at least these tweets we've seen in the last couple of hours is very different than what we see following charlottesville, but it is note bable he issued some praise for the democratic mayor. that said, there's just been such a collective america holding its breath in the past week as it's watched the unfolding of the drama coming out of washington, d.c. most notably with steve bannon bein

end tweet. we'll get to everything that's wrong with the final series of tweets but a quick and necessary fact check first. years ago, blumenthal did misrepresent his military service, conflating his time in the marine reserves with those who served overseas in vietnam. there's no evidence that blumenthal bragged as trump claimed or that he cried when the record was corrected. joining us today, nbc's peter alexander with the president. and shannon pettypiece, and many politicians lie, but trump has elevated the art of fabrication, my favorite title of the year. and jeremy bash, an nbc and msnbc national security analyst. peter, to you first. i'm guessing that in bedminster no one will acknowledge the tweets were anything other than what they had planned for the first monday of the president's vacation. but not exactly what we associate with this new buttoned down, more professional west wing we have been hearing about. >> yeah. looks like the president sort of broke out on this rainy day here ou

let me read the latest tweet from president trump today. well, two tweets really.e says looks like many anti-police agitators in boston. police are looking tough and smart. thank you, and great job by all law enforcement officers and boston mayor marty walsh. what message do the tweets send? >> unlike ben and president trump i don't make moral equivalences between kkk and the thousands of anti-racist protesters today. what it shows is that there's a double standard for president trump. if there is on a act of domestic terrorism like a week -- >> we have mayor walsh speaking right now. i don't mean to cut you off. >> there's a lot of work done to be able to come in and to be able to protest. to be able to express themselves all the way from roxbury community college, all the way to boston common. i was at the roxbury community college and you felt a sense of pride there. that people will say how great we are in the city of boston so i want to thank all the people that came out today. i want to thank all the people that came out to share that message of love, not hat

president trump has repeatedly tweeted, daulg. a grand jury in washington to issue subpoenas related to donald jr.'s meeting in 2016 with a russian leader inside. he said state of the union that's to be expected. >> this is ray normal step taken by a careful prosecutor who is doing a thoer row investigation. it's the grand jury that actually issues these kinds of rewards. everybody in retrospect knows this is a bad idea. >> but the ranking committee adam schiff told him that the grand jury move would not be taking place. republican senator tom till lis, meanwhile, cautioning the president against any move to co-counsel the . >> it would just be another piece of fod der who are trying to credit something. and the fbi isn't within the rod stein davis. we might comment on ma. . despite the fact that president trump has. for the doj, i didn't want to interrupt. but the president said, kate, thaet not the way it works. >>> tough new sanctions. when we come back, what are any good options? are there any good military options? what are t

tweet mia at bill spadea and tweet me at the show at chasing news. his corey booker just grabbed another headline to launch his presidential campaign in 2020? here are the headlines we're chasing. >> the entire membership of the presidential committee on the arts and humanities including actor kal penn has resigned. sixteen and 17 committee members cited tron's comments blaming both sides of for the deadly violence last weekend. the resignation comes after the business council following similar resignations. present trump left his golf retreat to meet with others that came david. it will focus on national security, the border, the military. the u.s. lawsuit says that nestlÉ's springs is just common ground water. nestlÉ's water north america as bottling water that doesn't meet the fda definition of spring water. his is the labels are deceptive. a company spokesman says the regulations made all the definitions. >> the solar eclipses, and our way. >> w welcome back to jason's. i am bill spadea. we have a story about astrology and an eclipse. as you know

i have to say i don't always appreciate all of his tweets, but his tweet this morning was spot-on.e simple fact of the matter is if you apply the moral standard to the present, the people in the past, you're going to be disappointed 100% of the time. that's a guarantee. none of our national heroes were perfect men. none of them were perfect women. you have to be willing to engage in a suspension of disbelief to have heroes in the first place i would say. so the fact of the matter is robert e. lee is such a figure of honor, of integrity, of gentility. he did a tremendous amount to try to heal the nation after the civil war was over and to tear down his statue at this point, the rewards are simply massively outweighed by the costs and the damage it does to the national fabric. so i totally agree with the president on this one. >> keith, what do you say? >> i don't even know where to begin. i think donald trump's remarks today, his tweets, were completely inappropriate, beneath the dignity of the office that he holds. no president of the united states should be celebrating men who too

a lot of the local politicians have been tweeting about it all weekend. suddenly corey booker angling for a place on the democratic ticket on 2020. he politicized the event almost immediately after the woman's death. will break it down for you because as i see it, both sides showed up for a fight and there's a lot of blame to go around. what is immune first locally,. >> weekend violence continues to reverberate locally here in new york and new jersey. i'm here bedminster down the road from trump national golf course were trump has been spending his vacation. rallies here in the free speech zone calling themselves we are charlottesville calling them to denounce the white supremacists whose rally sparked the violence. also rallies and other parts of the region like in red bank, new jersey that drew about 130 people. people denouncing the white supremacist and criticizing trevor his initial response which was widely criticized for not specifically for not calling out the white supremacists. they also called out phil murphy with this. what were witnessing a c
