willie geist an opening for democrats you would think. >> yeah, 54% is a big number definitely at this point, 15 months from the election will not vote for donald trump. we are told all the baltimore talk and all the elijah cummings tweeting is a base play. that he's strengthening his base. shoring up the people who put him into the white house in the first place and this is smart politics. some people have argued. that poll right there -- although it doesn't reflect the baltimore riff and rant is not reflected in the poll. that would suggest otherwise. wouldn't it? that the plays he's making to the base aren't helping his numbers. >> well, yeah. i think to a certain extent, but i don't know how much credence i put into them. a lot of people when it comes to donald trump lie about what they really think and feel about him. in other words they'll tell a pollster oh, no, i won't vote for him, because they don't want to be considered a trumper. so i'd take the polls with a grain of salt. i think it's very telling and i'm judging the behavior of republican elected members of congress in th

. >> professor, this is willie geist, this is such a good and important book.it to get through it. i want to ask you about the current mechanisms of which we can amplify these expressions of evil and ugliness and darkness that we see. and sometimes, and maybe you'll agree in this culture, in fact, often in our culture, the biggest extremes on both sides of an argument are the ones that are played and amplified. and there's an awful big space in the middle that's not presented in our public discussion, or at least the way it's portrayed? >> the way i would describe that is the following kind of idea. if you want to use a metaphor of the human body for a moment, we have bodies that are pre-wired to be in particular ways. you have a kidney that works in a certain way, and a pancreas that works in a certain way. it is the case that we could apply external pressures on your body to redirect it. you know, we could starve you when you were young, for example. or give you toxins that would make your kidneys not work properly. but that doesn't mean your pancreas and kid

. >> hey, senator kaine, it's willie geist, good to see you this morning. ayou k him about this epstein deal and vote against him to your credit. i want to ask you about your colleagues on the republican side in the senate. so far we haven't heard anything from them. you have good relationships with them, just like claire mccaskill did in the senate. what is this they're saying about this, is this a hill they're willing to die on, this man is an accused sex trafficker of girls? >> it's interesting. we came back after a week long recess monday night. the epstein indictments had just come out and this has been a major discussion in and around this place as claire would know. this is the kind of thing everybody is talking about. a couple of the republicans have come out, ben sasse, susan collins, and others expressed concern. john kennedy of louisiana yesterday expressed deep concern about the plea deal. we got to get to the bottom of it. so you are starting to see republicans now really have serious questions about what happened. the outrageous thing about th
