in trump for some strange reason opted to construct trump tower out of poor concrete. in constructing trump tower, he poured concrete and had to deal mobsters. he had to deal with the president john cody whose girlfriend got for apartments and trump tower even though she had no visible means of support. during the time of construction, the whole thing is a story, you read a book just about the construction of trump tower. during the time of construction there was a citywide strike and there was no construction going on because no one could get past the picket lines except one place, that was trump tower. where the poured concrete flowed into the construction of the building. so trump's ties to the mob and later in atlantic city run deep and i going to them in the book and they were all very interesting. >> there has been a bit of a renaissance in just a few weeks ago your wonderful spouse had a premier event for the documentary" the husband attributed to trump and we certainly seen a number of lawyers attempt to fill a role for trump. michael, rudy giuliani and both me

trump ambassador gordon sondland, he is a trump donor who has been defending donald trump and echoing trump's denials even after the impeachment probe launched. now sondland rattling trump world, striking at the heart of trump's impeachment defense and that's not all. this is a very simple and damning development for trump tonight. i'm about to show you a few simple highlights from the new testimony. but before we even do that, here is the incriminating context, and this is something anybody can understand, even somebody with an open mind about whether or not trump did a bribery plot. mr. sondland is not just pointing a finger at the white house right now, he's doing so in the guiltiest possible way, by walking back and revising his past testimony that was initially more friendly to trump. democratic investigators already saying this shows a consciousness of a cover-up because sondland is changing or reversing the past testimony that was defending trump. where he played down why the crucial money for ukraine was ever frozen. something that as we reported at the time was contradicted b

trump had a diabolical plan to build a trump tower in moscow. trump changed the republican national committee platform to hurt ukraine and benefit russia. the russians laundered money through the nra for the trump campaign. trump's son-in-law lied about his russian contacts while obtaining his security clearance. it's a long list of charges, all false, and i could go on and on and on, but i'll spare you for these moments. clearly these ludicrous accusations don't reflect committee members who are honestly searching for the truth. they are the actions of partisan extremists who hijacked the intelligence committee, transformed it into the impeachment committee, abandoned its core oversight functions and turned it into a beach head for ousting a president in office. you have to keep in mind as you consider the democrats' latest catalog of supposed trump outrages. granted, a friendly call with the ukrainian president wouldn't seem to rise to the same level as being a russian agent. the democrats were running out of time. if they waited any longer, t

blacks for trump or african-americans for trump? >> joining me now. what do you prefer to be called? >> here more of the president. >> the republican party was the original home of african-americans, now african-americans are returning, it was 100-year trip if you think about. you don't have to choose to leave the democratic party. the democratic party already left you a long time ago. today we say welcome to the republican party. >> um, what do you think of his argument. it sounds like 2016, remember what he says what else do you have to lose. >> it is not a sincere argument. it is designed appeal his white base to convince them they're not races and to a select group of people who happens to be black trump supporters. that's a small population of the african-americans. what trump is doing is he's ignoring or asking people to ignore his history, the ignore the history of discrimination to ignore his 5.5 year lie of barack obama's birther controversy and ignore his speech a few weeks ago he went to an hbcu, he didn't speak to any black students there.

>> donald trump was running. and i said finally, another businessman, and i got fired up. >> has he lived up to your expectations? >> absolutely. i think he's doing just fine. if he says this is what i'm going to do, he's doing it. >> he hasn't built the wall. do you hold that promise against him? >> no. because isn't the whole wall part of getting the money from congress too? and isn't congress stopping him from getting the money? i mean, where's the money going to come from? is he supposed to print it right there at the white house? >> well, i think it's coming from mexico. that was the campaign promise. >> i believe that's literally a quote. >> how many of you if the election were held today, show of hands, would vote for president trump? okay. one of you would. lisa marie, are you on the fence? >> i liked him in the beginning when he first came out. he was saying things like it is. probably saying things like most of us think but don't want to say. but i'm also thinking he's gotten out of control. >> that's j

i believe that president trump has only appointed two or three. i am just curious, what is your response to that? do you think that is really representative of what trump should be doing in terms of diversifying the bench? >> it is interesting, and i think complicated. i think the caller is right, trump's numbers are below president george w. bush's. whene same time, seems president trump does nominate a minority, there is a special the riol thee left -- vit left has for that nomination. there that she is -- he is criticized on diversity grounds. we talked about the change in the filibuster in 2017, the change in the blue slip rules, you talked about senate judiciary committee. gustavus, hewas a was on our program a couple of weeks ago talking about the process change in the u.s. senate. i will play his brief comments. >> a custom called the blue slip, where both home state senators were to return their blue slip to indicate positive support for the nominee and only then would the committee chairman move forward with the nomination. the senate rep

know who signed ivanka trump, donald trump, jr., eric trump, and donald trump senior. the only thing that has changed is donald trump's cynical conclusion that by becoming a climate change denier, that is the way to succeed in the republican party. and he is helping us, pushing us along the path of destruction. no one seems to buy that argument because they said it was a policy difference -- i don't think so. i think it is putting humanity in peril. if you can prove that, that is impeachable. host: i will let you chat with as many colors as we can get in. john, jupiter, florida, independent. good morning. caller: yes. i would suggest not interviewing a person who is just another new york liberal professor. guest: i live in bethesda, maryland, not in new york. caller: you probably were indoctrinated in new york, because you are from there. was 16, soft when i it must have been a strange indoctrination. go ahead. caller: i have been watching this show for the last hour and a half and it is so biased it is unbelievable.

president trumpes signed a co t congratulatory trump. it is important to understand that a white house visit was critical to president zelensky. he needed to show u.s. support at the highest levels to demonstrate to russian president putin that he had u.s. backing as well as to advance his ambitiousva anti-corruption refm at home. they immediately began pressing to setss a date for that visit. they mader clear that they wand president zelensky's first overseas tripir to be to washington to send a strong signal of american support and requested a a quality with president trump as soon as possible. we at the embassy also think it was necessary for them toas refm their agenda and we worked hard to get it arranged. when president zelensky's team did not receive a firm date, they made alternative plans for his first overseas trip to be to brussels instead to attend an american independence day. there was a reception that included president zelensky, jared kushner, senior europeanon -- officials and, jay leno. for the next month, the focus of

is much higher they have to connect that trump they making the case that trump withheld security aid to ukraine with the purpose of using it as leverage to get those investigations into his rivals and to answer that question they're looking at the witnesses in the afternoon kurt volker in particular he is the former special envoy to ukraine who in previous testimony behind closed doors had said he did not perceive this aide withholding to be linked to the investigations it will be interesting though to see what he says today because in that time since he 1st gave his closed door testimonies. we've heard from many other witnesses who have implicated volcker more in the shadow channel that trump. was running through his private attorney rudy giuliani so it'll be interesting to see whether volcker's testimony evolves today or whether he'll continue to be the defender of trump that republicans are hoping to count on and heidi where do we stand now off to the 1st week of public hearings and going into the 2nd week. well so far schedule wise this is the final week of public hearings that w

people with unique access to trump who trump would later insist he hardly knew. and now it might be rudy giuliani's turn. >> what was rudy giuliani doing in ukraine on your behalf? >> well, you have to ask that to rudy. but rudy, i don't even know -- i know he was going to go to ukraine, and i think he canceled the trip, but, you know, rudy has other clients other than me. >> so you didn't direct him to go there on your behalf? >> no. but you have to understand rudy is a great corruption fighter. >> giuliani's your personal lawyer. so you didn't direct him to go to ukraine to do anything? >> no, i didn't direct him. but he is a warrior. rudy's a warrior. rudy went, he possibly saw something, but you have to understand rudy has other people that he represents. >> i know. >> the president there painting giuliani as a lone-wolf corruption fighter despite a mountain of testimony saying otherwise. saying, quote, mr. giuliani is a highly respected man. he was the mayor of new york city and i would like you to call him. he knows what's happening and is a very capable gu

bush, obama, and trump. and she was in ukraine and she was a very vocal critic of this corrupt system in ukraine. she was trying to change it. she was trying to bring the rule of law and ukrainian officials came up to her and said you should watch your back. she didn't know what was going on. then there began to be this campaign against her, which the president's son, donald trump jr., joined by tweeting that she should be fired. she kept speaking out about corruption. and then one day she gets a call at 1:00 a.m. from u.s. officials that say you need to come back to the u.s. immediately, it's a matter of security. they were worried, they explained to her, that the president might be tweeting about her and that this might be threatening her. and she felt that she had this project in ukraine of bringing the rule of law, bringing a prosecutorial system that wouldn't be subject to business interests and that that whole thing had been undermined by allies of president trump. and as we've learned the president hi

. >>> black voters for trump? african-americans in atlanta weigh in as president trump launches an effort to win black support. >> unemployment is the lowest on record. it is off the charts. i would say that's good for black people. >> i don't agree with his policies or the way he conducts himself, the way he represents the united states of america. >>> good day. i am chris jansing in for andrea. president trump arriving in georgia this hour after a sprawling white house south lawn performance this morning, tackling some of the major political obstacles facing his administration. first, dismissing the details within those damning transcripts of key impeachment inquiry depositions. >> in some cases they really turned out to be very much honest and fair. but in no cases that i've heard, in in cases that i see, have i been heard. this is just a continuation of the hoax. it's a disgraceful thing. >> then the president again taking issue with reporting, first from "the washington post." he urged white house officials i

trump has denied that claim. gates also said stone texted him in june 2016 asking for jared kushner's contact information to brief the president's son-in-law on wikileaks. kushner has not publicly responded. friday, former campaign chief executive yves bannon told the jury that stone was "an access point to wikileaks," and while they kept in touch during the campaign, he says stone never bragged about access to nonpublic documents. he said leading up to the campaign, stone implied he could use his wikileaks contacts to obtain information about hillary clinton. also testifying in front of the jury, a new york radio host and former stone confidant named randy credito. stone's team tried to paint him as a middleman for access to wikileaks head julian assange. he met with julian assange and said he was not a middleman and of stone, he told jurors, "i can't work on his level, he plays hardball, he throws a lot of jobs, and he did not want to get it." >> the judge told jurors not to watch any of "the godfather" films a

trump got off the phone with mr. stone, what did mr. trump say, the prosecutor asks gates. he indicated more information would be coming, gates responded today at stone's criminal trial. gates testified that prior to wikileaks' first email dump, for months information had been talked about. after the july release, gates said the campaign was in a state of happiness. >> this just came out. wikileaks -- i love wikileaks. >> reporter: gates' testimony flies in the face of denials from both stone and trump that the two ever discussed wikileaks. >> i know nothing about wikileaks. it's not my thing. >> reporter: in written responses to robert mueller's team, president trump said, i do not recall any communication between stone and wikileaks. but the phone call and trump's reaction described in court today puts into sharper focus how much trump allegedly knew about how the russian hack and release of emails could boost his campaign. this revelation was ultimately redacted from the public version of the mueller report because stone's case was ongoing. during the 2016 presidential c

to the trump era? i think this party is still working that out. >> jess, there certainly still seems to be a lot of folks on the republican side who are energized and outraged by the impeachment battle. >> absolutely. i think that, you know, the candidates are more or less within a margin of error in terms of who beats trump by one or loses by two. but this should be a really chilling poll for democrats everywhere. trump can win this election. i think it's really easy while we're sitting here in impeachment, looking at the national polls, seeing the incredible turnout of 2017 and 2018, to think that we've got this. but trump can absolutely win this. >> just in conversations with people in the airports and wherever i go, i say that all the time. he very well might win again. and people -- like democrats, i don't know if they're living in a bubble or if they're just delusional, but they seem shocked by that. >> we have to remember we don't just have to win the electoral college this time. we have to win

trump the 45th president of the united states. yesterday morning the committee heard from ambassador gordon sondland. the american ambassador to the european union, the de facto leader of the three amigos, who had regular access to president donald trump and pressed the new ukrainian president for two investigations trump believed would help his re-election campaign. the first investigation was of a discredited conspiracy theory that ukraine and not russia was responsible for interfering in our 2016 election. the second investigation was into the political rival trump apparently feared most, joe biden. trump sought to weaken biden and refute the fact that his own election had been helped by a russian hacking and dumping initiative. trump screheme's stood in and s back anti-corruption efforts in ukraine. in conditioning a meeting with zelensky and military aid and securing an investigation of his rival, trump put his personal and political interests above the united states. as ambassador sondland would later tell david holmes immed

in a letter today nadler asked trump if he would attend the hearing and usually asked trump to, quote, indicate who will act as your counsel for these proceedings. in a statement nadler reportedlg told trump he has a decision to make, quote he can take this h opportunity to be represented or he can stop complaining about ot the process. c there's been a very clear es attempt by trump and his allies over the last few weeks to try e spook, psych out democrats about the popularity of impeachment. the president has he's wanted to do about just about every single been lying. he's been claiming that impeachment is wildly unpopular. he's literally been making up polls to support that assertion and his enablers have been cherry picking. but that's simply not true. a new poll from cnn finds that 50% of americans believe trump should be impeached and removedl from office while 43% say he ld should not be.ic that figures unchanged since october.ur it matches the highest support for impeachment in that same cnn poll. for context, in the first month of the impeachment hearings of clinton only a th

trump. >> all right. on monday it was all about trump. you could hear him. he said it's all on me. you can't do this to me. you can't do this to me, and then, oh, my goodness, they did it, and don jr. says it has nothing to do with donald trump, the president. really? okay. good morning, and welcome to "morning joe." it is wednesday, november 6th. along with joe, willie and me, we have msnbc contributor mike barnicle, national political correspondent for nbc news and msnbc and author of "the red and the blue" steve kornacki with the maps today. columnist and associate editor for "the washington post," david ignatius joins us and nbc news correspondent heidi przybyla joins us now. >> they're two stories that for people who are just stupid enough to like watching dogs chase their tails. do we have two stories for you? you saw the first. don jr. saying this had nothing to do with donald trump, and donald trump the night before saying you have to do this for me, basically saying this is all abou

president trump. taylor draws a straight line to this president. >> it's a line that goes through giuliani, yeah, but. >> and giuliani just today is putting out a tweet that he's doing only things for the president directly -- that's the only person i'm working for. giuliani's going to jail. >> let's say for the sake of argument -- >> why, do you say that? he's still innocent until proven guilty, but go on. why do you say that? >> well, look at everything he's done -- >> what he's accused of doing. what are you saying? >> on chris cuomo's show he admitted it. >> two sentences later he didn't, but. >> didn't first and then he did. >> well, let's just say for the sake of argument that what we just saw there that that says that giuliani was the one who originated the idea of quid pro quo. it doesn't matter because by july 25th donald trump is on the phone saying i need a favor, dangling things in front of him. so wherever it originated donald trump was a participant in it after the fact at best, but i al

trump's political rivals. he said behind closed doors he heard the president ask to sondland, so he's going to do the investigation? and sondland said president zelensky will do anything you ask him to. let's break it down with laura coates. what do you think? he omitted crucial information in his earlier sworn deposition. he revised it once. what do you anticipate? >> first, he's gordon sondland. the fact he had one of these epiphanies was the reason you take the depositions. you should coordinate what you should tell and you have a full and complete accounting of what you've done. over time, suddenly, oh, you meant the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me congress. in this role he has failed time and time again. interesting to see whether he will have additional epiphanies and then it might be too late to correct the testimony. >> and roger stone was convicted last week including lying to congress. do you expect ambassador sondland to plead the fifth? >> i think he will consider it right now. whe

but stone called trump and trump called back twice on the night that the dnc hack was revealed, then they exchanged phone calls again after the guccifer 2.0 persona, which people might recall was a front for russian operatives put out a blog post blaming not to be russian. and then throughout the summer and early fall they exchanged messages while stone was simultaneously sending messages like that one to manafort and to steve bannon saying he had a way that trump could still win but it wouldn't be pretty. so there was ongoing contact including with the president himself. >> all right. so one of the things the i learned today, and i don't think this is in the mueller report or anywhere else, are the phone calls. that stone is calling the president and talking to the president, we don't know about what, but talking to him on key moments of the timeline of wikileaks leaks. >> that is correct. >> right. >> and the prosecutors made a point of saying that trump -- that stone was lying because it wouldn't look good for trump if he told the truth. so they're directly tying those calls to wi

trump had even tweeted there was no quid pro quo. so if these republicans are going to come out after multiple witnesses or career officials said we believe there was quid pro quo, then this is their strategy they think might bust kind of say, yes it happened, but is it impeachable, no. and as we mentioned on the other side, republicans seem to be trying to go after the whistle-blower or the individuals who are testifying. one thing we saw last week was republicans were trying to figure out who the whistle-blower might have talked to. the whistle-blower came forward and said they talked to about eight people in the administration that were concerned about the president's phone call with zelensky. and so now they're trying to figure out who were those eight people and did they speak out of the order to people that they really shouldn't? and can they go after them? so republicans are really kind of getting off of the process argument and finding what they can do next as democrats are nearing their next phase of impeachment. >> olivia,

trump had a diabolical plan to build a trump tower in moscow. trump changed the republican national committee platform to hurt ukraine and benefit russia. the russians laundered money through the nra for the trump campaign. trump's son-in-law lied about his russian contacts while obtaining his security clearance. it's a long list of charges, all false. and i could go on and on and on, but i will spare you for these moments. clearly these ludicrous accusations don't reflect committee members who are honestly searching for the truth. their the actions of partisan extremists, who hijacked the committee and transformed it into the impeachment committee and turned it into a beachhead for ousting an elected president from office. you have to keep that history in mind as you consider the democrats' latest catalog of supposed trump outrages. granted a friendly call with the ukrainian president wouldn't seem to rise to the same level as being a russian agent. but the democrats were running out of time. if they waited any longer, their impeachment scircus

trump took a loss. i lift him up a lot. trump took a loss. you've got to give me a big win please, okay? okay? >> it's like he's literally begging. >> at the was beg. it's sad to watch a president beg. buff cour but, of course, he's lying about kentucky dpoi. i don't know if anybody knows this or not, but matt bevin was up five points until president trump went there. you lost six points for him in one day. >> it's just -- >> is that bad? is that bad, son? >> it's bad. >> donald, you need check -- i'm from the gulf coast. how did you lose louisiana? >> that's bad. >> how -- what -- how could you do that? i mean, and he's calling the governor down there what? a socialist? [ laughter ] >> that's -- >> louisiana. >> that's the most conservative democrat in a long, long time, jonathan lemire, a long, long time. this is -- the president went all in. i want you to imagine a business owner who's daddy gave him $400 million, okay? right? and then that business owner says i'm going to start casinos in new jersey, right? imagine that. and imagine a guy

president trump: today the stock market hit a new all-time high. all three, nasdaq, s & p, dow, we hit an all-time high. that's many, many days that we hit all-time highs in the administration, so it's really very good. lou: as the president said, another record-setting day on squall street under his administration. the dow up 115, its fifth record close of the year. the s & p up 11. it's 17th record close. volume on the big board confirming the record-setting advance. gold and silver both closing relatively flat. a reminder to listen to my reports coast to coast on the salem radio network. gop lawmakers are urging president trump to focus on his agenda and let the house and senate republicans to handle impeachment. republican southerned the president is too consumed with impeachment and not enough on policies. how high would be the market if he would follow the clever advice of the gop? the dual track strategy would be and better strategy. he has been told this a number of times. let us worry about up people, said this unflamed person. that's our

the person who came hated trump. it was unverifiable but the person still hated trump. here's the question for horowitz and the fbi and the department of justice, why did you start verifying it or trying to verify it after you used it three times? why didn't you try to verify it before you gave it to the court. i hope you understand what they did was use a document unverified to this day to get a warrant against an american excellent and didn't try to verify it until after they used it. >> hannity: senator, thanks for what you're doing. two weeks from tonight it's out. elizabeth warren's relationship with the truth as the president calls her pocahontas gets more complicated and she said her kids went to public schools. let's look at the tape. >> we don't have the opportunities -- >> my children went to public school. >> hannity: her own campaign said it's not exactly true, her daughter and son went to public school until fifth grade. warren sent her son to two private schools in texas and pennsylvania and her hometown paper is taking a look saying it's a pattern of lyin

giuliani/president trump. as i recall, my mistake was, someone came back through volker, otherwise, and said, no, it's not going to do if the prosecutor makes these statements. the president wants to hear it from zelensky directly. that's the mistake i think i made. >> do you have any reason to question ambassador taylor's testimony based on his meticulous and careful contemporaneous notes? >> i'm not going to question or not question. i'm just telling you what i believe i was referring to. >> let me fast forward a week and show you another text exchange which may help refresh your recollection. on september 8th you had a -- you sent a text to ambassador taylor and ambassador volker. can you read what you wrote there? >> guys, multiple convos with zelensky and potus. let's talk. >> ambassador taylor responds immediately, now is fine with me. if we can go to the next exchange. ambassador taylor 1 gorn and i spoke -- or 20 minutes later, rather. i can brief you if you can gordon don't connect, speaking to ambass

trump had a diabolical plan to build a trump tower in moscow. trump changed the republican national committee platform to hurt ukraine and benefit russia. the russians launderred money through the nra for the trump campaign. trump's son-in-law lied about his russian contacts while obtaining his security clearance. it's a long list of charges, all false. and i could go on and on and on, but i'll spare you from these moments. clearly, these ludicrous accusations don't reflect committee members who are honestly searching for the truth. they are the actions of partisan extremists, who hijacked the intelligence committee, transformed it into the impeachment committee, abandoned its core oversight functions and turned into a beachhead for ousting an elected president from office. you have to keep that history in mind as you consider the democrats' latest catalog of supposed trump outrages. granted a friendly call with the ukrainian president wouldn't seem to rise to the same level as being a russian agent, but the democrats were running out of time. i

he had come in the earliest days of the trump administration. he had kept a low profile and serving as acting secretary of defense for a brief period of time. the white house's review of the eddie gallagher navy s.e.a.l. case leads to the firing of the navy's top civilian. back to you guys. >> thank you, ryan. >>> now, to the impeachment front. a confidential review of the freeze of military to ukraine, has uncovered hundreds of documents, revealing efforts to justify president trump's actions after the hold was in place. there was a debate involving mick mulvaney, about whether the delay was legal. it's not clear if these records pose legal problems for trump but they could be embarrassing. let's get more from jeremy diamond at the white house. >> reporter: good morning. the white house has been conducting an internal review of president trump's decision last summer to withhold nearly $400 million in security aid to ukraine. according to "the washington post," that review is turning up hundreds of documents to suggest that white house officials

approaches to ukrainian policy prior to trump and trump over the summer basically derailed that in favor of his own policy and now that certainly is a reversal of the previous sort of state department aims and that is plausible could plausibly be a setback for american foreign policy making. dave holmes talked about and i think that everyone that has testified so far. really talked about the predicament that ukraine it is that they are in a position where they they need the united states they want to please the u.s. to to get what it is that they need but dave holmes made the point that this isn't in the past he painted a picture of ukraine still currently wanting to to get what it is that they need from from the u.s. so what might the long lasting effects of all of this be. this is situated in a much broader and more complicated story about the united states is interaction with europe with nato and particularly with ukraine which is sort of the hot point between nato on one hand and russia on the other inconsistent foreign policy towards ukraine and ukraine's efforts to shore up its own

take the fight to trump, prosecute the case. i'm a former prosecutor, she has been the most bellicose and aggressive towards donald trump and her campaign has basically collapsed. i think the real truth is in terms of his record, delivered many of the promises he ran on in 2016, clearly tried to deliver them and been frustrated on some and above all delivered a strong economy, is record and his policy positions on issues like immigration put donald trump in the mainstream of voters were some of these democratic candidates are to the left somewhere in that is the problem. >> looking at the -- keyboarding and particle states the president picked up for a long time, the san francisco -- >> i lost the satellite so i can't hear your question i think the real truth of this race is none of the candidates look like they can be donald trump at this point and that is why you are seeing new candidates coming into the race and why you are seeing this feeling among the democratic establishment that they still don't have anyone they can count

trump's orders. details from the president's allies to undermine her, as she pushed to promote democracy and the rule of law. she describes the house intelligence committee how rudolph giuliani, mr. trump's personal lawyer, work hand-in-hand with a ukrainian prosecutor to circumvent official channels, smear her, and push her out of her job. her testimony came amid the third impeachment in query and modern united states history. it drew a spontaneous standing ovation and a loud round of applause from spectators, and cap to revealing first week of public hearings as democrats seek to make their case that mr. trump abused his power to enlist ukraine's help in discrediting his political rivals. presidentormer vice joe biden. speaker nancy pelosi called it bribery, echoing the language in the constitution that describes impeachable offenses. they talkingre about just then? here's the tweet that came out testimonyterday's from the former ambassador. this is from president trump, who tweeted everywhere mari

rapport with president trump. that is obvious given all the flattering language. ♪ >> before being elected president earlier this year, volodymyr zelensky was an actor and comedian. his most notable role was playing a president on tv. he won office in a landslide with a campaign promise to fight corruption and to end ukraine's war with its vastly more powerful neighbor, russia. zelensky knows u.s. military aid is vital to his country, and he's eager for it to continue. i would also like to thank you for your great support in the area of defense. we are ready to continue to cooperate for the next stages. specifically, we are almost ready to buy more javelins from the united states for defense purposes, he says. javelins are shoulder-fired anti-tank missiles ukraine's army needs to fight off russian-backed forces. so far, so normal. talks of bilateral relations and defense. but this is president trump. his response to the request for javelin missiles is personal. one white house official reportedly called it crazy

(laughter) like that wasn't trump free styling, that was trump prepared. now look, i'm no trained lawyer, i'm no trained lawyer. but i feel like innocent people don't need notes to remind themselves that they are innocent. like you never see defendants in a court room like, can i just say, your honor, i did-- not murder my wife. so look, this didn't make trump look good. or innocent. in fact, he said the same lines so many times in so many different ways it almost felt like he wasn't being presidential it felt like trump was auditioning to play the character president who is innocent.
